New Economy; Amid San Francisco's dot-com ruins, companies find some real estate bargains.
By Todd Lappin
Published: April 23, 2001
SAN FRANCISCO— MARK JARRELL can hardly believe his good fortune. As the founder and president of Meeting Architects, a corporate events planner, Mr. Jarrell giddily points out the features that made his company's new office in San Francisco's Mission District so irresistible. The office came wired for data and phone service. The space is protected by a $25,000 security system. The building is fully up to code, including recent seismic upgrades mandated by law in this earthquake-prone city. And though he declined to reveal the rent, he said it was eminently affordable.
''We just showed up and plugged in our computers,'' Mr. Jarrell said. ''The shell was here; all it needed was some paint and a little imagination.''
A little more than a year ago, as the Internet boom reached its peak, soaring rents and a dearth of available properties led some to conclude that more traditional service-based companies would soon be forced to abandon San Francisco in search of more affordable office space. But today, with the Nasdaq in the dumps and many Internet start-ups in the Dumpster, small businesses and nonprofit organizations are finding real estate jewels amid the architectural ruins of the dot-com craze.
And this city, which has been such a powerful vector for new economy fervor, is reaffirming some of capitalism's oldest truths: the process of creative destruction is never-ending; change is the only constant, and the foundations of new companies are often built opportunistically upon the wreckage of the old.
This time last year, the vacancy rate was 3.6 percent in San Francisco's South of Market area, the former industrial area dotted with garage-style workshops where many start-ups set up offices. Today, according to Whitney Cressman, a commercial real estate brokerage firm, the vacancy rate is almost 20 percent. Rents in the district have dropped to $40 to $50 a square foot from $55 to $60 last year, and they are still falling.
''All those millions of venture capital dollars left behind a legacy of beautifully built-out office spaces,'' said Bill Benton, a broker with CB Richard Ellis, a commercial real estate company. ''There are now some great opportunities for other companies to move in.''
Meeting Architects has moved into an industrial-style building in the working-class Mission District, which adjoins South of Market and creates a real estate corridor sometimes known as Multimedia Gulch. As a symbol of the Internet boom's lasting impact on the city's urban fabric, the building neatly encapsulates many of the tensions and transformations of recent years.
It was constructed in 1920 on the end of a block bounded by Folsom, Shotwell and 20th Streets. Neighborhood legend has it that the one-story brick structure was originally home to a small Ford Motor parts factory. During the mid-1990's, half the space that Mr. Jarrell's company now calls home was leased to a small airport shuttle-van service. (Picture the set of the old TV sitcom ''Taxi,'' with even more trash littering the floor.) The other half of the 18,000-square-foot space was leased by an auto body repair shop.
Then came the dot-com boom. After the building was sold in 1999, rents began to climb. The shuttle service and body shop moved out. Extensive building modifications began as the two once-separate work spaces were joined to create a single business site, complete with new steel reinforcement girders, cut-pile carpeting and a wheelchair access lift. Redcart.com, an e-commerce technology provider, moved into the freshly converted office in May 2000 under a five-year lease with a five-year option to renew.
''I thought I was good for 10 years,'' the property owner, Joseph Imbelloni, recalls. ''Everything seemed to be going great.''
Then one day Redcart.com called to say that the company could not afford to pay the rent. Instead of lasting 10 years, the start-up lasted only six months.
By November, Redcart.com was gone. To fill his suddenly vacant building, Mr. Imbelloni searched frantically for a more stable tenant. Given the current economic downturn, Mr. Imbelloni says he was lucky to find Mark Jarrell and Meeting Architects.
Founded five years ago, Meeting Architects today employs 30 people, and Mr. Jarrell is undaunted by the slowing economy. Companies may not be throwing lavish parties, especially not like the ''launch'' extravaganzas once favored by profligate dot-coms, but established businesses still need to hold meetings and employee-incentive events. ''Our business is a little flat,'' Mr. Jarrell said. ''But it's still good, and we'll weather through.''
Even now, portions of Meeting Architects' new office betray clues of its previous occupants. In a part of the space that was once used by Redcart.com's chief executive, a board is still eerily covered with scribbled business plans. Redcart's departmental mailboxes hang empty from a wall, and two shopping carts -- both painted red -- are suspended from ceiling rafters.
Some of the other legacy items have been pressed back into service.

Mike Terry, Deseret News
Editor's note: This is the first in a three-series commentary on BYU basketball. Part 1 takes a look at what could have happened with the Cougar basketball team in the 2010-11 season.
In 1856, American Quaker John Greenleaf Whittier penned "Maud Muller" that spawned a famous quotation. The poem ends with these words: "For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: It might have been!"
After BYU lost to Florida in overtime on March 24, 2011, to barely miss out on the Elite 8, Cougar head coach Dave Rose said: "We just needed to make a few more shots. I mean, if we make a few more shots, get another rebound or two here, we're talking about a different story."
Like a national championship story. It might have been, it legitimately might have been.
But here's the twist: Perhaps the "might have been" didn't have as much to do with what happened on the court as it did with those who didn't take the court that game — Tyler Haws, Brandon Davies and Michael Loyd Jr.
Rose said his guys "just needed to make a few more shots" against the Gators. He was being modest. In truth, they needed to make just one more shot, and they had some choice opportunities.
Freshman star Kyle Collinsworth missed a free throw with 44 seconds remaining that, as things played out, would have won the game. College basketball megastar and eventual national player of the year Jimmer Fredette made only 11-of-29 shots, including 3-of-15 three-pointers. Noah Hartsock, Jackson Emery and Charles Abouo combined to shoot just 8-of-26 from the field.
Yet, despite all that, Jimmer and the guys were a single point away from ballin' into the Elite 8.
Now, envision this: What if the 17 minutes played by Stephen Rogers versus Florida had been played by Haws? Or if the 23 minutes played by Logan Magnusson and James Anderson had been played by Davies? Imagine if Fredette, Hartsock and Collinsworth, who between them had only 11 minutes of rest in a 45-minute overtime game, would have had some fresher legs because Haws, Davies and Loyd Jr. would have been there to help shoulder the load?
They would have made that extra shot. They would have gotten that extra rebound. It probably wouldn't have even come down to that. There would have been no talk of what-ifs in Rose's postgame press conference.
BYU would have been in the Elite 8.
A game against eighth-seeded Butler would have been next. Not to say Butler would have been a cakewalk, but it is not very often a team gets to play a No. 8 seed to punch its ticket to the Final Four.
With a win over Butler, the only thing left in BYU's path to the title game would have been 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth. If playing a No. 8 seed to get into the Final Four would have been a rare opportunity, what would playing a No. 11 seed to get into the title game be?
With a victory over VCU, Jimmer and the Cougars would then have taken on Kemba Walker and third-seeded Connecticut for all the marbles. Connecticut, which ultimately won the title, had a good team, but the Huskies were also one of the most vulnerable national champions in a long time.
The title game between Connecticut and Butler was considered by some as so revolting, so historically unpleasant, that it was genuinely painful to watch. The teams combined to shoot 26 percent from the field with only 31-of-119 shots finding the net.
It was like listening to Miss Teen South Carolina talk about finding the U.S. on a map, only without the attractiveness and humor.
Even Walker, the Robin to Jimmer's Batman in college basketball that year, was unimpressive in going 5-of-19 from the field with no assists.

Government of Mississippi
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Government of Mississippi is the government of the U.S. state of Mississippi.
Mississippi's government is distributed by the Mississippi Constitution to the executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch.
Executive branch[edit]
Executive authority in the state rests with the governor of Mississippi, currently held by Phil Bryant. The Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi, currently held by Tate Reeves (R), is elected on a separate ballot. Both the governor and lieutenant governor are elected to four-year terms of office. Unlike the federal government, but like many other U.S. States, most of the heads of major executive departments are elected by the citizens of Mississippi rather than appointed by the governor.
Mississippi is one of only five states that elects its state officials in odd numbered years (others being Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Virginia). Mississippi holds elections for these offices every four years in the years preceding Presidential election years. Thus, the last year when Mississippi elected a Governor was 2015, and the next gubernatorial election will occur in 2019.
Legislative branch[edit]
Legislative authority resides in the Mississippi Legislature, which is the state legislature. The Legislature is bicameral, consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives. The lieutenant governor presides over the Senate, while the House of Representatives selects their own Speaker. The state constitution permits the legislature to establish by law the number of senators and representatives, up to a maximum of 52 senators and 122 representatives. Current state law sets the number of senators at 52 and representatives at 122. The term of office for senators and representatives is four years.
Judicial branch[edit]
Supreme judicial authority rests with the state Supreme Court, which has statewide authority. In addition, there is a statewide Court of Appeals, as well as Circuit Courts, Chancery Courts and Justice Courts, which have more limited geographical jurisdiction. The nine judges of the Supreme Court are elected from three districts (three judges per district) by the state's citizens in non-partisan elections to eight-year staggered terms. The ten judges of the Court of Appeals are elected from five districts (two judges per district) for eight-year staggered terms. Judges for the smaller courts are elected to four-year terms by the state's citizens who live within that court's jurisdiction.
Federal representation[edit]
Mississippi has two U.S. Senate seats. One is currently held by Thad Cochran (Republican) and the other is held by Roger Wicker (Republican) who was appointed on December 31, 2007 by Mississippi governor Haley Barbour due to Trent Lott resigning on December 18, 2007 and who was elected to finish Lott's term on November 4, 2008 (see United States Senate special election in Mississippi, 2008).
As of the 2001 apportionment, the state has four congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives, currently Gregg Harper (Republican), Bennie Thompson (Democrat), Steven Palazzo (Republican), and Trent Kelly (Republican).
(See: List of United States Senators from Mississippi; List of United States Representatives from Mississippi; Congressional districts map)
During the Reconstruction era, freedmen gained freedom, citizenship and the franchise. African Americans could vote in the state for the first time. They elected numerous representatives to local and state offices, despite being subject to intimidation and violence at the polls, increasingly so during the 1870s, when the Red Shirts, paramilitary groups representing conservative white Democrats, tried to suppress the black vote.
After a biracial Populist-Republican coalition gained power in the late 1880s, the Democrats returned in force to the state government. To prevent such a coalition and to reduce the violence around elections, they decided to expel African Americans from state politics. In 1890 Mississippi passed a new constitution with provisions to disenfranchise most blacks and many poor whites through use of the poll tax and literacy tests for voter registration, with the latter administered by white registrars. The number of black voters fell drastically, as they were prevented from registering. This was the reason the Democratic Party dominated state and federal elections in Mississippi into the 1960s.
For 116 years (from 1876 to 1992), Mississippi was essentially a one-party state, electing Democratic governors, federal representatives and most state officials. When Mississippi's constitution passed a Supreme Court challenge in Williams v. Mississippi (1898), other Southern states quickly included such provisions in their own new constitutions, drafting new works through 1908. By 1900, these measures effectively disfranchised nearly all black voters in Mississippi. When the grandfather clause was struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in Guinn v. United States (1915), Mississippi and other states which had used it quickly passed other statutes to find other ways to restrict black registration and voting. Disfranchisement of blacks and poor whites continued for more than six decades.

Mississippi white residents, as in the rest of the South, long supported the Democratic Party. The policies of Reconstruction, which included federally appointed Republican governors, led to white Southern resentment toward the Republican Party. Following the Compromise of 1877, federal troops enforcing the provisions of Reconstruction were pulled out of the South. The Democratic Party regained political control of the state in the 1870s, partly by using violence and fraud to suppress black voter turnout and turn elections in their favor. Blacks had favored Republican candidates and the party of Lincoln.
In the 20th century, after years of indirectly supporting the disfranchisement of blacks in the South, northern Democrats began increasingly to support labor unions and civil rights for blacks. Many conservative white Democrats began to get restless. The first sign of this discontent was in the 1948 presidential election, when the Dixiecrat slate of Strom Thurmond and Mississippi Governor Fielding Wright won a majority of the state's popular vote, largely by virtue of Dixiecrat supporters taking over the state Democratic machinery.
In 1960, a slate of unpledged Democratic electors won a plurality of the state's vote. It was the first time the official Democratic candidate had not carried the state since the Reconstruction era. These eight electors cast their electoral votes for conservative Democratic Senator Harry F. Byrd.
In 1964, the white voters in the state swung over dramatically to support Barry Goldwater, who took an unheard-of 87 percent of the state's white popular vote (this was while most African Americans were still disfranchised and effectively could not vote) in the midst of Lyndon Johnson's 44-state national landslide.[1] Goldwater carried several counties with well over 90 percent of the vote, and his five best counties in the nation were all in Mississippi.[2] Again, he was supported by white voters.
Since then, there has been a major realignment, with white conservative voters supporting Republicans for the state's federal positions, even though Democrats nominally continued to have a majority of registered voters. Since 1964, Mississippi has supported a Democrat for president only once, in 1976, when Jimmy Carter, a son of the South ran. That year, he narrowly carried the state by two percentage points (15,000 votes).[3]
During the fall of 1963, civil rights activists registered 80,000 black voters in Mississippi for the straw Freedom Vote, to demonstrate the people's ambition and eagerness to vote.[4] In 1964, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) was formed, creating a list of candidates to challenge the official, all-white slate of the state's Democratic Party. The MFDP also mounted protests at the national Democratic convention, seeking to be seated as official delegates.
Not until the late 1960s, following passage of the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 under President Lyndon Johnson, would most African-American men and women have the chance to register and vote again in Mississippi and other Southern states. In 1967 the first twelve black men ran for office for the first time since Reconstruction in Holmes County; two gained local office and one, teacher Robert G. Clark, was elected to the state house. He continued to be re-elected from Holmes County and in the late 20th century, was elected three times as speaker of the House.
On September 26, 2008, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain debated at the University of Mississippi in the first presidential debate ever hosted in Mississippi. It was also the first official debate for the election.[5] The debate focused on foreign policy and national security issues.[6]
State politics[edit]
(See: List of counties in Mississippi)
During disfranchisement and majority-white dominance of the Democratic party and state politics, nearly all races were effectively decided in the Democratic primary, from which blacks were excluded by the "white primary" and other voter registration tricks. Although civil rights groups mounted legal challenges, Mississippi's constitution was upheld for some time. From 1877 to 1959, the Republicans fielded a gubernatorial candidate only twice. It was not until after passage of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 that federal enforcement led to African Americans' being able to register and vote in numbers related to their population in the state. In the first half of the 20th century, many left the oppressive conditions here in the Great Migration to the North and Midwest.
However, most Democrats, especially in rural areas, are very conservative by national standards. In 1991, Kirk Fordice was elected as the first Republican to win the governorship since 1876 and the end of Reconstruction. Republicans have since done very well at the state level. They have held the governorship for all but one term. They did not take control of one of the state legislative chambers for another decade, as many residents liked local Democrats for the state house.
In 2011, the Republicans took control of the state house, in the process winning complete control of state government for the first time since 1876. But, the party in the 21st century represents a reversal of what Republican and Democratic meant in the 19th century. Since the late 1960s and passage of civil rights legislation by national Democrats and Republicans, most white conservatives in the South have shifted to supporting Republican candidates. African Americans support Democrats by wide margins, as this party nationally supported their drive for protection and exercise of civil rights. Most whites tend to support Republicans.
On some social issues, Mississippi is one of the more conservative states in the US, with religion often playing a large role in citizens' political views. Liquor laws are particularly strict, with variation among jurisdictions. Liquor sales are frequently banned on Sunday. Many cities and counties allow no alcoholic beverage sales ("dry"), while others allow beer but not liquor, or liquor but not beer. Some allow beer sales, but only if it is not refrigerated.[7]
State voters have had more conservative positions on issues related to homosexuality than in some other states. In 2001, Mississippi banned adoption by same-sex couples and banned recognition of adoptions by same-sex couples that were accomplished and recognized in other states or countries. In 2004, 86% of voter turnout amended the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage and ban state recognition of same-sex marriages which took place and were recognized in other states and countries.
At the same time, Mississippi has been one of the more innovative states in the country, having been the first state to implement a sales tax, and in 1882 the first state to pass a Married Women's Property Act.
Also, between the Reconstruction era, when blacks constituted a majority and elected many representatives to local and state office, and since the 1960s, Mississippi has elected more African-American officials (including local offices) than any other state in the United States. Mississippi is one of a growing number of states, 17 as of February 2016, as well as the District of Columbia to have decriminalized the possession of marijuana, so that possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana is punishable only by a fine of $100 – $250 for the first offense with no jail time.[8]
County government[edit]
Mississippi has 82 counties and present the closest face of government to citizens. Members of the county Boards of Supervisors are elected from single-member districts, and several other county officials, such as sheriff, are elected at-large. At a time when the state was predominately rural, counties were divided into "beats," with each supervisor responsible for road and bridge maintenance in his beat. This arrangement was useful when areas were lightly settled and communication was difficult, but it persisted in most of the state until 1988. The counties serve both legislative and executive functions; the decentralization into beats with few controls on individual supervisors led to problems with wasteful purchasing, inefficient government and, in some cases, corruption. Unitary and centralized county government is considered more efficient for conducting county business.[9]
During the 1980s, some 57 of Mississippi's 410 county supervisors, from 26 of the state's 82 counties, were charged by the federal government with corruption. The FBI had carried out a lengthy investigation to gain evidence in these cases. Reform led to an overhaul of the counties' purchasing systems.[10]

Both Peter Parker and Clark Kent have managed to build a career as a comic book superhero on the back of a journalism career, and as it turns out so have a number of comic book writers. Following in the footsteps of Paul Levitz, Mark Waid and Neil Gaiman, Ian Brill first came into comics in the early 2000s as a journalist writing for the likes of Publishers Weekly and Newsarama. He went on to become an editor at BOOM! Studios, and parlayed that into his first major comics-writing gig, Darkwing Duck. That series succeeded past most anyone's expectations, and put Brill on a path to venture into comics writing full-time in 2011.
Earlier this summer, Brill launched the first major series of his own with the self-published Dracula World Order: The Beginning one-shot. Enlisting an all-star lineup of artists, Brill distributed the comic in grassroots fashion not unlike Sam Humphries' Our Love Is Real. Brill is already hard at work on more stories in the Dracula World Order universe, and he's also just been announced as the writer for the upcoming BOOM! series Freelancers, profiling a female duo of kung-fu bounty hunters. Comic Book Resources spoke at length with Brill about that series last month, so here we focus on his self-published work, his career trajectory and his thoughts on Kickstarter.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? Today our guest is Mark Sable, the writer and co-creator of Image's Graveyard of Empires with Paul Azaceta and the upcoming Duplicate from Kickstart Comics with Andy MacDonald. You can find his work and thoughts at marksable.com and contact him @marksable on the Twitter.

"Radar" is an occasional spotlight on interesting and entertaining comics and creators that are fairly new to the business or may have escaped your notice.
Today brings the release of Dracula World Order, the self-published comic by Ian Brill, Tonci Zonjic, Rahsan Ekedal, Declan Shalvey and Gabriel Hardman. It's broken into four chapters, each drawn by a different artist, with a cover by Shalvey and colorist Jordie Bellaire. The story revolves around Dracula's son Alexandru leading a rebellion against his father and the one-percent "vampire elite."
It's available on a limited basis from a handful of retailers, as well as online from Things From Another World if you want a physical copy, and comiXology if you want a digital one. I caught up with Brill to talk about the comic, his publishing plan and more.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
J.K. Parkin
With my first $15 I'd get the following: The Massive #1 (Dark Horse, $3.50), X-Men #30 (Marvel, $3.99), Spider-Men #1 (Marvel, $3.99), and Saucer Country #4 (Vertigo, $2.99). That leaves me roughly 50 cents out of my budget. I dunno if it was planned this way or not, but two of Brian Wood's latest projects, The Massive and his run on the X-Men (of the un-Ultimate variety), kick off this week. We also have the debut of Spider-Men, the crossover that features Peter Parker of the 616 Marvel U meeting up with Miles Morales from the Ultimate-verse. I've enjoyed the Miles Morales/Ultimate Spider-Man stories this far, which is the reason I'm getting it. Finally, Saucer Country is the best of the new Vertigo titles, featuring clever writing by Paul Cornell and great art by Ryan Kelly.
Add another $15 and I'd also get Captain America #13 (Marvel, $3.99), Uncanny X-Force #26 (Marvel, $3.99), Resurrection Man #10 (DC Comics, $2.99), and Frankenstein: Agent of Shade #10 (DC Comics, $2.99). Again, with some change left over for a candy bar or whatever. I laughed out loud at the big reveal at the end of the last issue of Captain America, as we learned who the new guy was behind the Scourge mask. I assume this is a What If? comic, along the lines of "What if (name redacted for spoiler reasons) wasn't lame?" So I have to see this through. I mentioned this weekend on What Are You Reading? that I'd downloaded a whole bunch of the current run of Uncanny X-Force for 99 cents from comiXology, and since then I've completely caught up on the book, so I'll definitley be getting the current issue. Add to that one of the final times I'll get to see Abnett and Lanning's Resurrection Man comic (sniff … well, it was probably a longshot anyway, based on how well his last comic did) and the debut of Matt Kindt on Frankenstein, and that rounds out my week of comics.
I don't really have anything on my splurge radar this week, so maybe I'll just hold onto the cash and save it for next time.
Hello and welcome to another edition of What Are You Reading? Our special guest this week is Matthew Thurber of 1-800 Mice and Infomaniacs fame. To see what Matthew and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
Following up the teaser we received earlier this week, former BOOM! Studios editor and Darkwing Duck writer Ian Brill has revealed the details behind Dracula World Order, a self-published one-shot that will be available next Wednesday at select retailers and digitally through comiXology.
Joining Brill in creating the comic are four different artists — Tonci Zonjic, Rahsan Ekedal, Declan Shalvey and Gabriel Hardman. The comic is broken into four chapters, each drawn by a different artist, with a cover by Shalvey and colorist Jordie Bellaire. The story revolves around Dracula's son Alexandru leading a rebellion against his father and the one-percent "vampire elite."
From a publishing/distribution standpoint, Brill seems to be following the model that worked very well for Sam Humphries last year with his self-published comics Our Love is Real and Sacrifice (Brill even mentioned Humphries in his press release). The one-shot has a print run of 300 copies, creating a collectible item, but it's also available digitally so anyone with a mobile device or web connection can read it through comiXology. (If you're interested in more about Humphries' approach, he spoke extensively about it at Comic-Con last year at a panel we were both on, which is available for your listening pleasure here).
You can find some preview artwork and a list of shops selling the comic below. I have some questions out to Brill about it, so watch for an interview soon.

Coming to a MeFite beach party this summer
In a post-speedo world of increasingly European beachwear the mankini, popularized by Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat, provides an alternative method of support and coverage for the discerning sunbather. This item of modesty, predominately marketed for the male physique but occasionally for the female, has been designed across a range of colors, styles, pouch volumes and variations in the number and positioning of straps. However, the approaching summer brings more swimwear options... [more inside]
The sky is a deep cobalt blue; coconut palms, orange-limbed and yellow-fringed, sway in the steady trade winds. There are still breadfruit trees and pandanus trees and flame trees with brilliant red blossoms. Two hundred yards to the north, a coral reef meets the full, transparent blue violence of the Pacific. There is just one problem, though you could stare at this palm grove for a lifetime and never see it. The soil under our feet, whitish gray in color with flecks of coral, contains a radioactive isotope called cesium 137. In high enough doses, it can burn you and kill you quickly; at lower levels, it just takes longer to do the job, eventually causing cancer.(via)

In 2007, an Israeli cable station produced a show that parodied kid's educational tv with over-the-top racism, sexism, you-name-it-ism--kind of what South Park would be like if it were less restrained and tasteful.

"Mohammedia ~ Fedala" Mohammedia by Loubna
Mohammedia Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 22 photos
A little geography and history
Mohammedia is situated between Casablanca and Rabat on the Atlantic Ocean. It used to be a little fishing village named Fedala and the name was changed in 1960. It is well known in Morocco as a summer holiday place. Many people from Casablanca come here in the summer to make the most of the beaches. It is also well known for its oil refinery, Samir.
One of the key spots for surfing and windsurfing which has unfortunately changed a lot during the past decades.
The photos on this page were taken in 2001 after a flooding in December. It did look beautiful but unfortunately a lot of houses were badly affected with water rising over 1m.
Mohammedia has wide street lines with date trees. It also has a corniche lined with cafes where a lot of people go for a walk on warm summer nights.
I grew up here with not much to do in the winter and spending our lives on the beach in he summer. I had many adventures with favorite cousin, Reda. As he is a surfer we ended up going to the beach in the winter as well and it was such a pleasure being on the deserted beaches.
I love going shopping for fruits, veg etc... in the souk, such beautiful colours and such good quality products!
But nothing beats making a mint tea late afternoon with some freshly bough beignets :o)
- Pros:Off the beaten path
- Cons:Not a winter destination
- In a nutshell:Home :o)

Easy using and good looking~
-Easy to use and adjust
-Built in infant insert
-Neutral colours
-comfortable for long wear
-ergonomic seat for older baby/toddler
-baby can face in or out
-Not comfortable for my small 6 month old
-bulky and lots of bukles
-infant mode is not ideal position for baby's legs/hips
Overall I like using this carrier around the house or out running errands when my 6 month old daughter want to be close. My husband loves the simple neutral colours and the lack of back buckle. I found it fairly easy to put on and adjust but there are a lot of buckles. It was nice that I could put it on, then put my coat on and slip baby in and out without needing to take off my coat (not possible with any of my other carriers). The biggest downside right now is that my daughter is as a size where she is too big for the infant mode but the buckles are right in her face when she sits in it. The carrier is also a little bulky to wear and pack, no way it would fit in a diaper back. My daughter feels a little more snuggled in with some of my other carriers.
I received this carrier as sample. It can be a little overwhelming at first with all the straps and adjustments but once it is set it's just a matter of slipping it on, putting baby in and fastening it up. I found this very supportive for my 2 month old. I also tried it out with my 30lb 15 month old. If I could change something it would be something along the straps to hold the lose straps in place instead of having 4 straps flapping. I would definitely recommend this carrier but it's way to pricey for the amount that I would use it for.
I received this sample and i had used it it's really very good its soft dont hurt the baby and its support for the baby's neck is awesome the material used is also very good.
I recommend it all parents who want their baby on good position while traveling.
Thank you best buy to let me use this excellent product.
Really great carrier for first time parents! Easy to use, clean and comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.
Simple carrier to use, is pricey, but worth it to carry precious cargo. Easy to put on with the instructions and to clean as well. Recommend to any first time parent.
Really simple to us once you read the little guide. Cleaning is also really simple. Worth it for sure over the knock offs.
I bought this for my baby , I love it, nice and soft ..it's pricey ... I got it [amount] off which I am happy :)over all great product

In this beautifully shot, psychologically complex western, Van Heflin is a mild-mannered cattle rancher who takes on the task of shepherding a captured outlaw (played with cucumber-cool charisma by Glenn Ford) to the train that will deliver him to prison. This apparently simple mission turns into a nerve-racking cat-and-mouse game that tests each man's particular brand of honor. Based on a story by Elmore Leonard, 3:10 to Yuma is a thrilling, humane action movie, directed by the supremely talented studio filmmaker Delmer Daves with intense feeling and precision.

Horseriding at Costa del Sol
I was picked up in Fuengirola by a very nice man called Freddy. We drove to Torremolinos and picked up two more on our way. Since I was going to ride with a lady and her boy, who never had ride before, it had to be a easy trip without trotting and gallop. I was a bit disappointed at first, becase I thought it would be a bit boring for me. But Freddy had an idea! The three of us and the guide started riding, when we were about halfway, Freddy catch up on us. He and I rode for a while by ourself so I could go a little faster than rest of the group. :) It was great! I had beautiful horse! It was a bit unusaually to ride westernstyle, but it went well. The trip lasted for about 1,5hours. The only downside was that the nature could have been much nicer! The ranch lies not far from the city and we had to ride past hotels, streets and things like that. But the horses and people were just great! The price was about 30 euro. I strongly recomand that you take the trip in the morning, because the sun will be really strong after 12.00.
Equipment: You don't need to bring any equipment. The only thing you should make sure of, is that you have proper shoes. Joggingshoes is OK. A ridinghelmet can be barrowed at the center.
Address: Torremolinos
Directions: You book your trip at the Port Ticket Office at Fuengirola Port. You will be told where to meet and when, then you will be picked up there.

Scuba diving in Mediterranean Sea
I don't have a divers licence, but when I visited Australia I had three test dives and it sure gave me the taste for more! So when I had the opportunity to try it again, I just couldn't resist it.
When you go under water it is like a whole other world. It is so peaceful and quiet... Full og colors and funny creatures. Unfortunately we couldn't go to the best dive sites (because we didn't had a licence), but still it was great!
At first we had a theorycourse. It was little about the equipment and how to use it right, what to do and what NOT to do under water, signals and general info. After that we got our equipment (the rent was included in the price) and head of to the water! We had some activitys just for training and when everybody was ready we went for our "real" dive.
The dive itself was great! We where under for about 35 minute and the max depth was about 8 meters. Actually I was a bit disappointed, but that is only because I compare it to the best divesite in the world, Great Barrier Reef! On our time under water we saw a lot of fish, seacucumber and we got to pet a octopus! That was really special!
Well, for anyone who hasn't dived yet - Go do it when your first chance come along! I bet my fingers on that you will love it (don't take that literaly :)
Equipment: Just bring something you can bath in and feels comfortable when you swim. The rest of the equipment (flippers, wetsuit, shoes and everything else you will be needing) you will get there (it is in the price).
Address: port ticket office at Fuengirola port
Directions: Marina Del Este, which is situated on the South East coast of Andulucia. It is about an hours drive from Fuengirola.

I'm currently working to integrate word press into our windows AD domain. Right now any active AD user can connect to our word press site and view it. However users still need to register to post comments. When a user clicks on the wp-register.php page I'd like to appended an "@CORP.FOO.COM" to their username when it is submitted.
That is to say I want the user to just need to type "matt" but upon submission the name goes into the WordPress database as "firstname.lastname@example.com". This will fix the kerberose error I see after registering because users forget to add their domain information to their registration.
Can someone give me a suggestion?

The author of this volume is also the author of a seven-volume series called "Studies of the Psychology of Sex." His extensive work is more particularly suited to the use of physicians, psychologists, and those whose professional lives are greatly concerned with the problems considered. The present volume is more nearly a manual for the general student. It sets forth the view of the author that there is no sharp boundary line between normal and abnormal in sex matters. It provides a concise consideration of such topics as sexual deviations, homosexuality, marriage, the art of love, and the dynamic nature of the sex impulse. For the general reader the book is an adequate presentation of the Havelock Ellis views. It makes clear many subjects which have formerly been considered well concerned in mystery. There is an inefficient glossary and a fairly good index.

Authorities reopened Interstate 10 in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico at about 8 p.m. Saturday, after weather delays.
Earlier Saturday, New Mexico closed both directions of I-10 from Las Cruces, N.M., to the Arizona-New Mexico state line, a distance of about 130 miles, because of high winds and low visibility. So travelers were not stopped in their vehicles on the interstate in Arizona, ADOT then closed eastbound travel on I-10 about 15 miles east of Willcox.
For the most current information about highway closures and restrictions statewide, visit ADOT's Travel Information Site at www.az511.gov or call 5-1-1. For more information on traffic restrictions in New Mexico, visit NMRoads.com.

Look around your classroom at your schoolmates. One of the things you might notice is how different you all are. Other than age, you have many distinctive qualities. For example:
• Some of you have dark hair. Others have blond or red hair.
• Some kids are taller than others.
• You know good athletes, and other kids who would rather read a book or play an instrument.
• You might have kids in your class who were born with Down syndrome. Maybe you were born with it.
Now notice how much you're all really alike. For instance:
• Your classmates like to play with friends, go to camp, see movies or try new sports.
• All of you probably enjoy watching TV shows and playing games – even your friends with Down syndrome.
Focus on ability
October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Down syndrome is a disability, but a lot of kids with it have many of the same capabilities as their peers, or kids of the same age.
This week, the Mini Page learns more about Down syndrome.
What is Down syndrome?
Down syndrome (DS) is a condition that people are born with. It isn't contagious, and kids don't grow out of it.
It happens because of an abnormality in the number of chromosomes.* Most people with Down syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of 46.
*Chromosomes are the parts of our cells that carry genes. Genes provide the information that decides the details about us – our hair color, how tall we are, etc.
A different kind of cookie
An expert on Down syndrome explained it this way:
Suppose you're making sugar cookies. You use flour, sugar, butter and other ingredients to make the cookies. But if you add chocolate chips to the batter, you won't have sugar cookies anymore. All the cookies will have chocolate chips – you can't take them out.
When that extra chromosome gets added in, it changes almost every cell of the body, just like the chocolate chips show up in every cookie.
You still have a cookie, but it's a little bit different.
Violinist Riggo Carillo lives in California. People with Down syndrome develop musical talent, become good at sports or work toward other goals, just as their peers do. Down syndrome was named for John Langdon Down, a doctor in England who described the condition in 1866. In 1959, a French doctor discovered its cause.

I made this recipe and the Mock Mint Julep recipe, especially for those who don't drink alcohol. This was good, but most of my guests liked the Mock one better. Those who enjoy a little alcohol, added a bit of bourbon or rum to the Mock one.
Why I felt just like Miss Scarlett when I first tasted this. Great recipe.
I mashed and cut the powdered sugar into the mint with a wooden spoon. That first sip is a little strong but it just kept tasting better with every sip. Thanks for a great recipe for Mint Juleps. This will be perfect on Derby Day.

Developing Eclipse Plugins
This article presents a set of best practices for use when developing Eclipse plugins for application development environments built on the Eclipse platform. The general principles of plugin development outlined in this article can be applied to many other Eclipse-based development environments, in addition to the downloadable version. Several aspects of the Eclipse plugin development process are covered here, including the View versus Editor debate, the inside or outside choice, some standard widget toolkit (SWT) basics and the usefulness of the Eclipse Plugin Wizard. The advantages of using Eclipse for developing Eclipse plugins also are covered. The article also includes a walk-through of a simple application plugin with an eye toward reuse across multiple Eclipse application plugins.
In Eclipse, the two basic ways of presenting any type of information to the user are with a View or an Editor. Both Views and Editors allow the user to select certain actions to be performed by the plugin by single- or double-clicking on an item, by a right-click pop-up menu or by a top-level pull-down menu item.
The Editor class can do almost everything that the View class can do, plus a whole lot more. Allowing all this extra functionality comes at a price, however, in both system and code complexity. In general, the Editor class requires much more effort to develop than a View, so a certain amount of decision making must occur before embarking on an Editor implementation.
Views are sufficient when simply providing information to a user and allowing certain built-in capabilities is required. Users can input data to Views with relative ease usually by using other widgets in the SWT, such as tables and text boxes. But, what if you want more of a free-form interaction with the user? In addition, what if you want to have user inputs that are persistent across multiple launches of Eclipse?
A good general guideline to use in this debate is the issue of persistence. Although it is possible to retain data from a View in some kind of persistent repository, in most cases this requires some level of work to be done in a file or file-like context. If this is the case, it often is easier simply to implement an Editor instead.
The second most common consideration is the actual data being presented. If the user can select multiple data units and perform actions using them or against them on a one-at-a-time basis, it usually is easier to implement the operation or operations as a distinct View.
In this article, we implement a sample Eclipse plugin. This plugin has a simple goal: to provide generic application-level data to the user. This data is going to be represented as strings, although almost any data type could be substituted. The usual left-click, right-click and double-click actions are going to be enabled, but only double-clicking is modified as a reusable example for all other action implementations.
As there is no immediate need for a persistent resource and as there will be multiple instances of data to select on a one-at-a-time basis, the sample plugin capability is going to be implemented as a View, which we simply call the DataView.
When implementing either Views or Editors, another decision must be made. Should the data be presented to the user within the actual Eclipse environment or outside of it somehow? The SWT provides Form classes that allow you to externalize your application data if you choose.
Editors can be implemented either externally or internally, but external Editors lack easy access to the plugin itself. Surprisingly, existing vendor plugins provide exactly this kind of functionality. In most of these cases, this is chosen because of the loss of plugin access as vendors decide to lock out the user from certain levels of Eclipse functionality. In general, the proper choice for plugin Editors—notwithstanding the user debate over openness in tools—is to implement Editors internally in Eclipse. It simply doesn't make much sense to lose access to the rest of the plugin if you don't have to. Now, what about Views?
Similar to Editors, Views can be implemented either externally as a separate Form class or internally as a View with additional SWT widgets. There are no hard and fast rules here, but there are some basic guidelines to follow when dealing with this decision. In general, two things should be considered. First, can the View data be described as unique and discrete entities, with fields or operations specific to that particular data item? Second, are there always less than about nine of these items? If so, the View can be implemented as a View with a Table or perhaps a View with separate Tabs for each discrete unit.
If the actual number of instances of the data and the types of operations on that data is at all dynamic or unknown—for example, the developer does not know a priori exactly how many items there will be or exactly how many distinct operations to design or to allow for in the future—it probably is best to implement the View as an external Form class.
The sample plugin developed in this article is a simple 100-item implementation displaying data with only two distinct fields for each item, a name and a value. Although there are no predefined system requirements for more than nine multiple operations, there also are no explicit multiple operations defined. Therefore, you safely can assume that it will not require a great deal of them either—it is supposed to be simple after all. The DataView plugin therefore should be implemented as an internal View.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Eye Health Center
Amsler Grid
One of the easiest ways to screen for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is to use an Amsler grid. An Amsler grid is a chart with lines and a dot at the center. Your doctor can give you one to use at home.
If you have dry AMD, check your vision in each eye every day or as often as your doctor advises. It only takes a few seconds.
Cover one eye. Then, using your other eye, look at the first grid. Repeat with the opposite eye covered. Call your doctor immediately if you see either of the following:
- Lines that appear wavy and curved
- A blank or dark spot-other than the center dot-in the middle of the grid
In the second grid, the lines around the center are wavy and distorted. This is one example of how the straight lines in the grid above might appear to someone with macular degeneration.
The distortion or blind spot (scotoma) you actually see may be different from what is shown in the grid picture.
