Open University Enrollment in Online Classes
The Open University program allows individuals who have not been admitted to the University, or who have been denied admission or disqualified, to enroll in courses and receive academic credit: (1) with the instructor's permission and (2) on a space-available basis. Other criteria may be established by the department or college. For most online courses, the Continuing Education staff will check in advance as to whether the instructor will allow Open University enrollments.
Open University registration for the fall 2016 semester will open on Monday, August 15, 2016. The fall 2016 semester begins August 22, 2016 and ends December 16, 2016. Open University is not available if you are eligible to enroll as a state-support (admitted) student. If you are enrolled as an Open University student and decide to apply for admission to the University, you still must meet all regular admissions requirements.
The procedure described here is for enrollment in online classes. The process to enroll in on-campus classes may be found here.
Step 1. Talk to an Advisor
If you plan to use your course(s) toward a CSU, Chico online degree, it is strongly recommended that you talk to an advisor before attempting to register for any classes.
Step 2. Select a Class
Choose from a list of pre-approved, space-available courses. When the fall list of these courses are available (in mid-August) there will be a link to these courses here. Permission will have already been granted by the instructors of these courses and enrollment will be on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning August 15.
In addition to the pre-approved courses, some academic departments offer other courses online. Search the main CSU, Chico class schedule for classes with "Location" listed as "WWW ONLINE."
Step 3. Complete the Open University Online Class Request Form
Starting August 15, a link will be placed here to the online class request form. After submitting the completed form, you will then receive an email confirmation from us containing a copy of your request. Please keep this for your records.
Step 4. Obtain Permission to Enroll
If you request a pre-approved class, you will be put on a registration list for that course. When the 2016 spring semester begins on Monday, August 22, you will be called for your fee payment and enrolled (if there is still space available in the course).
If you request a class from the main university schedule, please forward the confirmation email you received after submitting the online class request form to the instructor and request permission to enroll in the class through Open University. Contact information for all instructors is available in the faculty-staff directory. Forward your approval email(s) to Nancy Park and then call her at 530-898-5671 to pay your fee.
Please note: (1) Completing the form does not guarantee space will be available on August 22. (2) Online Sociology classes will not be available to Open University students, as it is anticipated all remaining spaces will be taken by a large group of students newly admitted to the online BA Sociology program. (3) Residents of Chico may not enroll in any online class that is Section 72; these sections are reserved for distance students.
Step 5: Enrollment & Fee Payment
Open University students may not be enrolled into courses until the first day of the semester, which is Monday, August 22, 2016. (This is because we are required to give priority to admitted students.) At that point, Continuing Education staff will check if there is still space available in the course you requested. If there is space, you will be notified by phone and by email that you are eligible to take the course. Your payment will be requested at that time by Visa, MasterCard, or check. Payment must be received before your registration can be processed. If you choose to pay by check, we cannot process your registration until your check arrives at the Continuing Education Office.
The Open University fee for the fall 2016 semester has not been finalized yet. However, it likely will be similar to the spring 2016 fee, which was $232 per unit. Payment for a class is due in full at the time of registration. Any debts to the University or registration holds must be resolved before registration can be completed. Financial aid through Chico State is not available to Open University students.
Step 6: Access Your Online Class
After you are enrolled, Continuing Education staff will send you an orientation email. It will provide instructions for setting up a CSU, Chico Portal Account, accessing your courses, receiving technical help, ordering books, and other information to get you started.
Step 7: Prepare for Class
If a syllabus is posted, review the course outline and the book list. Books may be purchased online through the CSU, Chico Wildcat Store.
Disqualified Students and/or Students Who Have Been Denied Admission
If you have been disqualified or denied admission to CSU, Chico you will need the permission of the instructor, the department chair, and an advisor in the undergraduate advising office in order to enroll. This permission is obtained by on-campus students via signatures on an Open University Add/Drop Form. Online students request permission from the instructor by email and then forward the instructor's email permission to Nancy Park. As a courtesy to online distance students, Continuing Education staff will forward your request and the instructor's email permission to the department chair and undergraduate advising via email. If the chair and advising both approve you will be contacted for your fee payment.
Refund and Drop Policy
A 100% refund, minus a $10 processing fee, is available if a class is dropped before the first day of classes. A 65% refund (minus $10) will be granted to those students who have the instructor's permission to drop starting the first day of classes (August 25, 2016) through the fourth Friday of the semester (September 16, 2016). No refund will be granted after that date. Students request the instructor's permission to drop via email, forward the email to Nancy Park, and then she will complete the drop. After the fourth Friday of the semester, additional approvals of the department chair and college dean are required to drop a class, as well as "a serious and compelling reason." Once you have forwarded the instructor's permission, as a courtesy Continuing Education staff will request the chair and dean's approvals, and contact you when they have been obtained and you have been dropped from the course.
Maximum Units Through Open University Toward a Degree
The maximum amount of Open University credit which may be applied toward a CSU, Chico undergraduate (B.A. or B.S.) degree is 24 units. The maximum number of units which may be applied toward a master's degree is nine units. By that point, you are expected to be admitted to CSU, Chico to continue your degree coursework. If you are planning to pursue a master's degree, please refer to the department office of the appropriate major to check the unit limit. Note: Master's Thesis/Project (699) courses cannot be taken through Open University.
Student Health Services
If you are an Open University student taking six or more units you may have access to Student Health Services for $134 per semester. You may pay by calling Continuing Education at (530) 898-6105. The deadline for payment of the Student Health Fee is the fourth Friday of each semester.

Hello everyone =) So I am using Contact Form 7 (CF7) on a few different WP installations, but on my latest one it seems as though CF7 is producing blank CAPTCHAs everytime the page is requesting the attached form.
Before it's mentioned, YES, Both GD and FreeStyle libraries are installed on the server being used (obviously I should have realized this before calling my host since my other installs worked fine). Permissions are set for the /wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha folder, the .PHP and .PNG files are generating correctly and are not corrupt.
What gives? Is this a bug with 3.1.2 that needs to be fixed in the next ver. of CF7? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My Perfect Day
28 November 2013
Artwork description
A forest floor. And space to day dream, write, sketch. I'd love to just lie down on the forest floor, and stare at the sky - the blue and the stars - and then if I feel the need to "talk", I could write or sketch. Or I could sleep peacefully alongwith the sounds of the forest. This photograph is from my latest visit to the Radhanagar beach ( there's a forest lining the beach ) from the Andaman Islands, India. #M_perfectday

I told myself that I wasn't going to post here for reasons that should become apparent soon, but I feel strongly that I have to interject here.
First of all, yes, many forums and TV stations are talking about the death of the Pope, much like they talk about the latest Star Wars movie or newest Harry Potter book. The fact that you can choose not to go to them has seemed to pass you by. This is one thread in amongst many in this forum of which you can post in and yet you seem to want to post in this one despite the fact that you disagree with the message or whatever. First of all, this is a thread about mourning, a while ago we had one about the death of an author. If I hadn't liked that author, would I have badgered them about putting up a thread mourning his death? No, I would have left it to them, when it comes to someones death, my opinion on their life actions doesn't matter.

But reserve me the right to laugh at you when you begin to speak about (what seems to be for me) ridiculous things (you can, of course, laugh at everything you think is ridiculous, if you want to...)...
I can't see anyone here forcing their beliefs on you, again participation in this thread is completely optional. But frankly, I see no reason why we should "reserve you the right to laugh at them when they seem to speak about (what seems to you) ridiculous things". Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, but you have to learn tact and learn that these are peoples beliefs we're talking about. No matter what someone believes you reserve absolutly no right to laugh at them because of it. That kind of thing offends people, deeply, it's called rascism and you have no right to do that.
You are entitled to you opinion, and if this were a religious ranting thread then by all means, do so at your own risk. But this isn't a religious rant thread, this is a thread to mourn the death of someone who meant something to certain people in this board who don't need you telling them what's so wrong about the Pope.
I personally wasn't going to come into this thread because frankly, the Pope didn't mean that much to me, but you guys didn't need me coming round telling you that, it would have been as useful as a thread being opened asking if anyone knew the Secret of Monkey Island and me coming back with a simple 'no'.
But as moderator of these baourds, I feel it's important that i at least read these things just to make sure nothing annoying is happening, like innocent mourning threads turning into fully fledged religious rants.
So I'm going to say right now, if you want to discuss this, start a thread, but keep it clean. Otherwise, leave it out of here.
RIP Pope John Paul II
What a crazy random happenstance.

Is it allowable to cast a "Wall of Ice" spell in its hemispherical configuration in mid-air, or upside-down? The description of the spell is very explicit about it being anchored when it's in the flat configuration, but does not mention anchoring or direction for the hemisphere configuration.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The spell text says "This spell creates an anchored plane of ice or a hemisphere of ice". That means that the plane has to be anchored, but the hemisphere doesn't. If it had meant that both have to be anchored, it would read "This spell creates an anchored plane or hemisphere of ice." Also note that the word "anchored" appears three times in the plan section and not at all in the hemisphere. Looks to me like the authors were very careful to limit the anchor verbiage solely to the plane.
To me, that means that, yes, you could create that thing in mid-air or upside-down.

David Paterson to Appoint Jim Yates Chief Counsel
The search is up, and sources confirm that Governor Paterson has found his chief counsel: Jim Yates, a New York State Supreme Court judge.
The search is up! Governor Paterson has found his chief counsel: James Yates, a New York State Supreme Court Judge. An announcement is expected as early as today. Yates replaces Spitzer's chief counsel, David Nocenti, and is the newest addition to Paterson's inner circle, which can also be referred to sometimes as his outer circle, or the so-called Gang of Four: his father, Basil; Charlie Rangel; Percy Sutton; and David Dinkins.
Yates has a strong reputation as an able jurist, and one law-enforcement source involved in the replacement process said he edged out two other contenders for the job: Eric Schneiderman, a state senator; and Dan Castleman, director of investigations for Manhattan district attorney Bob Morgenthau. —Geoffrey Gray

Congressional Dems get smart on pushing "all of the above" energy vote
Looks like the Congressional Democrats are shrewd enough to take on the GOP big lie that Republicans in Congress actually believe in an "all of the above" energy policy (see "The Big Energy Lie — Blog round-up"). Greenwire reports today that "Democrats plot strategy for putting GOP on its heels" (subs. req'd):
Democrats plan to return to Washington and the campaign trail next week with a message on offshore drilling that they say will put Republicans on the defensive….
On Capitol Hill, congressional Democrats say they will try to corner the Republicans by offering them votes on their own agenda with Democratic priorities mixed in."We're about to do a political reverse takedown on the Republicans," said Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).
Top House Democrats say that shortly after Congress reconvenes, they will put on the floor a piece of legislation that will include an expansion of offshore drilling but also a renewable electricity mandate, energy-efficiency standards for buildings and oil industry tax provisions.
Some Democrats have started to describe the legislation and the broader message on energy as "all of the above" — a term first coined by House Republicans to describe their own legislation.
I have been saying for more than a month a deal makes sense on both policy and political grounds (see "Since offshore oil is de minimis, why shouldn't Obama and the Dems make a deal? Part 1"). I do think the House is making a mistake pushing a renewable electricity mandate rather than a long-term extension of the renewable energy tax cuts found in the Senate Deal (see "The good, the bad and the ugly of the Gang-of-10 drilling deal, Part 2: Something for nothing?"). I will blog on that when Congress returns.
Here is the rest of the story:
"We'll see whether the proponents of all of the above can take yes for an answer," said David Sandalow, a former Clinton administration official and an energy adviser to the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Democrats said their bill is a work in progress and offered few specifics, but they expressed confidence it would force Republicans into a tough spot.
"That's going to be a very difficult vote for a lot of these people," Markey said. "We'll put it all in there, and if somehow or other we get the majority of Republicans to vote for that, we'll have a revolution on our hands, and if we don't, we're going to have a revolution November 4th on our hands."
Democrats insist the bill would be a genuine legislative effort, but even if it passes the House, the legislation figures to face a tough slog in the Senate.
House Natural Resources Chairman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) said the inclusion of an offshore drilling provision showed Democratic leaders were being receptive to the needs of some in their caucus.
"It's our effort to address all of our caucus that represents the concerns of the American people," Rahall said. "And so we're taking that input in the development of the legislation."
House Republicans, meanwhile, have already started to dismiss the potential plan as a gimmick and have given little indication that the Democratic bid for an offshore drilling vote will do much to sway the Republican caucus.
"The American people support our plan, and they have every right to demand that Speaker Pelosi allow a vote on our energy reforms," said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio). "They deserve more than yet another Democratic scheme that will do nothing to lower gasoline prices or reduce home heating costs."
Campaign message emphasizes alternative energy
But even as Democrats warm to offshore drilling on Capitol Hill, the party is making it clear that its message on the campaign trail — especially in the White House race — will focus on alternative energy, and that it will continue to attack Republicans for embracing what Democrats describe as a pro-oil-industry position.
Obama — who has recently said he could support offshore drilling as part of a broader energy proposal — attacked his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, on the issue during his acceptance speech last Thursday.
"Washington's been talking about our oil addiction for the last 30 years," the Illinois senator said. "Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stopgap measure, not a long-term solution. Not even close."
And in speech after speech during the Democratic convention, top Democrats attempted to paint McCain's and other Republicans' embrace of offshore drilling as bending to the desires of the oil companies.
"Even the leaders in the oil industry know that Sen. McCain has it wrong. We can't simply drill our way to energy independence, even if you drilled everywhere, if you drilled in all of John McCain's backyards, even the ones he doesn't know he has." Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer said in a rousing convention speech.
"There just isn't enough oil in America, on land or offshore, to meet America's full energy needs," Schweitzer said.
But even as top party officials aggressively went after McCain's position on drilling, some Democrats grudgingly admitted that the presumptive Republican nominee had managed to score political points with his aggressive pro-drilling positions.
"I think we've moved the dial a little bit, but we were clearly — both the Obama campaign and Democrats in Congress — were losing the 'drilling, no drilling' argument," said Dan Carol, issues director for the Obama campaign.
But Carol and other Obama allies also say they believe they have successfully steered the campaign dialogue back toward green jobs and renewables.
"The conversation has moved a lot more toward … a big, job-creating national renewable project that we can take on here," Carol said in Denver last week. "We're in favor of it; John McCain is in favor of Big Oil.
"I hope that we've flipped McCain on the mat," he said. "We haven't gotten the points yet, and I think we'll be able to pick up those points if things go well."
Republicans maintain that despite the Democrats' confidence, voters will still turn to McCain as the candidate who will present more concrete solutions rather than to someone promising solutions many years down the road.
"Hope for renewables in 10 years is just that — a hope," said Frank Donatelli, deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee. "What we need is an aggressive program to develop more energy right now — that means drilling offshore, that means more nuclear and more coal."
Environmentalists admit slow response
Environmentalists admit they were slow to respond to the GOP's attacks on energy. And just like the politicians, advocacy groups say they will fire back by aggressively promoting an alternative energy message — one that they maintain will still prevail with voters.
"Voters are for drilling, but they're tepid about it; they don't think it's going to make a big difference," said Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club. "The fact is, the message 'You're too close to Big Oil' will trump [the] message 'I'm for drilling off the coast' every time."
Officials from environmental groups and various other party backers said that is exactly the message that they intend to focus on through November — that McCain and other Republicans are acting at the behest of the oil companies.
And Democratic officials said one of the reasons — though a somewhat minor one — that lawmakers rushed toward a pro-drilling position was the lack of any kind of voice from the other side.
"Nobody heard from [environmentalists] in their district office, nobody heard from them during that discussion — they were simply not there," said Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Still, environmentalists and Democratic politicians believe that once voters hear an aggressive pro-green message, they will quickly embrace such policies over calls for more drilling.
"I think [the voters were] scared — there wasn't a whole lot of leadership in Congress on what is the right response to give American people in response from high gas prices, so there was sort of a panic," said Elise Jones, executive director of the Colorado Environmental Coalition. "Now that people have taken a deep breath and oil prices have started to go down, let's go back to the solution path that makes the most sense."

15 Responses to Congressional Dems get smart on pushing "all of the above" energy vote
I agree that the renewables/efficiency tax credit extenders are absolutely critical. I saw this Greenwire story, but it wasn't clear to me that the tax extenders were not included in the legislation, the story may just not have mentioned it. Do you have any other confirmation that they are not in there? And what about the offsets from revoking the royalties suspension? Any idea if that is in there? Both of these pieces were in the 'gang-of-10' proposal…
At any rate, the posturing does seem to suggest both sides are happier to keep the issue alive for the election than to achieve a compromise this session.
This Republican victory to legislate the McCain "all of the above" program is the first step in eliminating CO2 emissions. Palin's proven record vs the oil companies should impress climate voters.
CP: "I do think the House is making a mistake pushing a renewable electricity mandate rather than a long-term extension of the renewable energy tax cuts found in the Senate Deal"
Without knowing the details, just the keywords "mandate" and "tax cut", it seems likely that the Senate version would be more likely to appeal to the Republicans, and that the tax cut version would be more likely to work efficiently in a business sense. A newspaper article I read today seemed to indicate that the tax incentives are working pretty well, so I don't know why they wouldn't continue them.
I guess if the Democrats arrange the non-offshore drilling parts to be too unappealing to the Republicans, or the Republicans blow some items they don't like out of proportion, there won't be a compromise and we'll have a big reason for a Congressional vote for "not the incumbant".
Paul, while I enjoy your posts, I always wonder what planet you are writing from :-)
The Republicans were the ones who didn't want to go for the gang of 10 compromise (and likely won't go for a compromise that actually includes something besides oil drilling). Palin, who denies AGW, is not a climate voters delight. She is the one who wants to open the ANWR to drilling, and Alaska is extremely dependent on Big Oil for income. She just wants to get a bigger piece of the oil pie for Alaskans. How anything she stands for would be beneficial for the climate is a mystery to me.
Do you think passing a bill like this will lead to further bills (cap and trade/carbon tax), or do you think it is more likely that congress will consider their work done?
John Hollenberg,
The question isn't who believes most in global warming. It is who can best lead the transition to 21st century energy.
McCain has a plan that will replace fossil fuel. He is doing it for reasons of national security and economic survival. He is supported in this by a large majority of Republicans. McCain also cites climate change as a reason. Many, but not all, Republicans are AGW skeptics, but that does not mean they are not committed to an alternative future. Do you think T. Boone Pickens gives a fig about global warming?
Senator Obama's plan is stunningly weak. Even Joe couldn't muster much enthusiasm for it.
While some may argue that renewable standards, regulatory incentives, and market forces are sufficient, McCain's website details a cap/trade plan. If a true market system can be developed, I think both Repubs and Dems will support it.
I'm a big fan of the Renewable Energy Tax Credit. In CT, solar installers are partnering with financial institutions and the CT Clean Energy Fund to substantially reduce the cost of PV installations. Some are offering 100+ Kw systems for no money down, entering into long term contracts with the facility owners.
These installs were picking up speed… until it became clear that the Credit was in trouble. I can point to two prospects that had the green light up to June of this year. And then forward progress simply stopped.
Big Mistake. On jobs alone, the number of CT solar installers (and their work force) has almost tripled in less than three years.
> Senator Obama's plan is stunningly weak. Even Joe couldn't muster much enthusiasm for it.
Paul, perhaps you forgot to read Joe's article, in which he described Obama's plan as "easily the best energy plan ever put forward by a nominee of either party":
I've downloaded the Obama Plan and will be happy to point out it's shortcomings over the next few days. I'm sure there's a few things in it I can support. I smiled when I noted in a quick scan he calls for prioritizing the stalled Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline. Sarah Palin has just recently concluded negotiations with Canadian officials that will make the pipeline a reality.
By the way, we call our planet Zorkar where people would rather reach a goal than win an argument.
Paul, whatever you're taking, you should distribute to your Republican friends. Any drug which can so completely divorce you from reality, would be nice to take during the Republican National Convention, and frankly, the spins, denials and counterfactual claims coming out of the Twin cities are so desperate that even the true-believers are showing their doubts.
McCain good on energy and climate? Whew. That's as big a whopper as I've seen in public in a long, long, time.
Look, McCain voted against tax credits for renewables; he abstained in a vote on a Climate Bill WHERE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DECIDING VOTE.
His "Drill here, Drill now" mantra is bought and paid for by the oil companies — who have literally thrown money at McCain once he was against what he used to be for before he was against it.
As even the Bush EIA points out, drilling's not a solution; it's a distraction.
McCain has backtracked so far and fast from his own global warming bill that he could have entered and won the Olympic 100 meter race.
Reality. It can suck, especially for a Republican right now. But geez, Paul, saying up is down and white is black won't make it so, no matter how hard you click your heels.
You Party is wrong on energy; wrong on global warming; wrong on the economics of green energy; and firmly in the pocket of big oil.
Sorry, but them's the facts.
"McCain has a plan that will replace fossil fuel."
And he's doing that by drilling for more?
'Cap and Trade"
McCain has said cap and trade isn't mandatory; and his plan has so many loopholes it would not result in any real cuts until 2020. Moreover, a cap and trade program that doesn't have supporting policies — such as RPSs; tax credits; forward capacity auctions etc … would need to reach more than $400 per ton to have any effect on fossil fuel consumption. Talk about an economy wrecker.
Then you say Joe can't muster enthusiasm for Obama's plan, when the opposite is true.
Each of these issues has been painstakingly documented by Joe and others on this site, in excruciating detail, with highly credible references.
In contrast, you come on this site and just make stuff up based — apparently — on a knee-jerk and totally blind obeisance to the Republican party's latest position. A position that puts oil companies' profits above the interests of America and the Earth.
Not funny. What's next: Sarah Palin is a greenie and a great statesman?
McCain good on energy and climate? Yes, he understands the necessity of replacing fossil fuel and, unlike Obama, has actually introduced climate legislation. This is an incremental process that will play out over the next 25 – 35 years. The disagreement is not about where we want to go, but how we get there. McCain has a proven ability to overcome partisanship on contentious issues.
Rant if you must about drill now, drill here. The reality is it is favored by a majority of the people and the Congress. Energy independence is a critical step to energy transition.
"Rant if you must about drill now, drill here. The reality is it is favored by a majority of the people and the Congress."
With all due respect, that doesn't avoid the fact that it won't do any of the positive things its proponents are claiming. And it'll cost a boatload of money to boot.
Here's an example of two directions:
In CT, utilities are spending almost a billion on about 700Mw of new power and transmission upgrades in order to shave the peak. This was funded by Federally Mandated Congestion Charges, gathered from electricity ratepayers bills to the tune of @ $13 per $100. We just said No to a floating natural gas terminal in Long Island Sound. The four new plants will burn natural gas that is steadily rising in price. Someone's not connecting the dots.
Meanwhile, for 1.3 million, the CT Clean Energy Fund brought 300 Kw of photovoltaics online (gathered from ratepayers at @ 60 cents per $100). Give the Fund the same resources and we get about 225 Mw worth of PV. Great for peak shaving, and works year round also.
A study on CT energy efficiency indicated that there are 900 Mw to be saved.
I vote for efficiency, the PV, and a whole lot of educational outreach for the pro drilling crowd.

This beautiful, and excellently maintained, heritage inn gave us a superb large, and light bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely worth staying with them.
Attention to every detail in Victorian and yet modern comfort!
Beautiful older estate, comfortable beds and good amenities, lovely dining room, walkable distance to Annapolis Royal Saturday Farmers Market, shops and great restaurants.
We had two rooms for our family, 4 and 6; both were really nice, especially room 6. Breakfast was very nice although service finished a bit early for our family with 2 teenagers in tow, maybe a 10am finish would have been better. The host was super friendly and offered good advice on what to do. Overall, it was great.
Laszlo and Kate are wonderful innkeepers who are very responsive to their guests. The house is inviting and comfortable and is located just a short distance from the Annapolis River waterfront where we had a beautiful dinner while watching the 29 foot tide come in for the evening. Spectacular!
What an awesome find in the little town of Annapolis Royal. If you get a chance to stay here - just do it! You will love the ambiance and the outstanding service. And what a cool old mansion lovingly cared for. Breakfast was delicious. Have dinner "downtown" at Cafe Compose - if it's a nice night, get a table on the terrace for a lovely view of the bay.
Entering this inn is like stepping back in time, but with modern comforts. The owners were charming and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. Freshly made banana bread followed by a blueberry smoothie, then a choice of either dainty individual spinach quiche or waffles with fruit. Everything was cooked perfectly. It is worth the trip to Annapolis just to go to this inn.
Beautiful, well maintained, historic inn. Delightful energetic young owners will make your stay memorable. Delicious breakfast.
This Inn was a wonderful choice for our tour of Nova Scotia. It was close to the beautiful historic gardens and the hosts Kate and Laszlo were superb. They were helpful at every turn of our visit.. Breakfast was absolutely top notch. Both the pancakes and the eggs benedict were among the best we've ever had at a bed and breakfast. Our room was comfortable and lovely to be in. You should consider this Inn a part of your Nova Scotia Experience
Very good and enjoyable.
After a long day exploring and whale watching, arriving at Queen Anne was a charming respite! Welcoming, comfortable, wish we had booked multiple nights here! Breakfast was delicious and just what we needed to explore the Historic Gardens across the street!
We stayed at Queen Anne for our anniversary, on Canada Day and it was a lovely experience. We had room #7 with four poster bed and a little separate sitting room. Laszlo, the host was very gracious and accommodating. We met with Kate briefly while checking out. Nice breakfast with blueberry scones, smoothie and crepes. The Town Crier paid us a visit during breakfast and he was very entertaining. Highly recommend staying here.
We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again next time we're in Annapolis Royal. It's a beautiful historic house in a good location. The owners were very friendly as well and were very accommodating.The blueberry scones that we had as part of the breakfast were the best we've ever tasted!
Hillsdale was wonderful - welcoming, comfortable, superb breakfast.
Warm professional Knowledgeable Assisting Promoting local town activities and restaurants
We had a great 4 night stay at the inn. The breakfasts were so fresh and filling and the staff could not do enough for us. Would highly recommend this place to stay!
We had been travelling throughout the Maritimes for over two weeks by the time we came to Annapolis Royal. We used our tour book and the Internet to make bookings for our overnight stays along the way. The Queen Anne Inn was the only bed and breakfast whose website photos looked like the actual rooms. They were clean, well appointed, comfortable and lovely. Our bed was so comfortable, we overslept!
We have been going to the Hillsdale House annually for over 20 years. The Inn is beautiful, the rooms are really special, and the trees were in full blossom this last weekend. Val, the owner, is always so kind and obliging, as are all her staff. Life really doesn't get more perfect than a stay at Hillsdale! We always visit the Public Gardens, eat Viennese food at Café Compose, walk the Fortress's defensive earthworks by the bay in the evening and go to the outdoor market on Saturday morning, all blissful.
The hosts were delightful, the breakfasts sumptuous, the environs delightful and the accommodations superb!
Fabulous property, beautiful rooms, great breakfast; highly recommended and close enough to Halifax for the perfect weekend getaway.
We had a lovely stay in a beautiful clean room. Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.
Lodging at Hillsdale House was very pleasant ranging from the courteous staff to the tastefully decorated room.to the delicious breakfast. We plan to revisit many times.
We had a lovely ground floor room and this was needed because of movement issues. The atmosphere was lovely and very friendly. The hosts gave us directions on where to eat and these were top notch. Val the owner made my basted eggs perfectly. The jams were heavenly. The home is near many worthy attractions and the Gardens were amazing. I would stay there again and hope I do.
This was our first time in a B&B and we enjoyed our stay at Hillsdale House Inn. The innkeepers (sorry, can't remember the names) were very wonderful hosts. Breakfast was great. Tips: 1. We stayed in October and it was cold, so ask how the thermostat works so you can adjust the temperature in the room. 2. There are no markings for parking space, but you can park along the driveway.
Accommodating with late arrival and late check out. Very friendly and helpful.
The room was huge, the bed was cozy, and the breakfast was the ultimate in presentation, flavor and heartiness! I felt like royalty.
It was clear that our hosts at Queen Ann had hospitality training. They were extremely professional while being gracious and helpful hosts. The breakfast serving was impeccable and the food healthy and delicious, it was a treat to stay there two nights and enjoy the mansion and walk the grounds behind the house.
We spent two nights in mid September 2015 and were very pleased. Our room was comfortable and nicely decorated. The mattress on our bed was a bit on the soft side though. The only other negative for us was taking a shower in the claw foot tub......not the easiest to get out in and out of if you're an older or less agile person. The breakfasts were delicious and offered a choice. Would recommend to a friend without any hesitation.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Queen Anne Inn. Gracious hosts, comfortable rooms. outstanding breakfast - everything thoughtfully prepared for the comfort of guests. A real treat!
Breakfast was ok but did not have the wow factor we had at other B&B's.

Mexico City, Mar 31 (EFE).- Atlas beat Cruz Azul 2-1 to become the new leaders in the Clausura 2013 Mexican soccer tourney at the beginning of the 12th week of the championship.
Luis Ramos scored in the 39th minute of Saturday's match and Vicente Matias Vuosso added a goal in the 55th minute for the visitors, while Israel Castro found the net for the home squad, who remain out of the qualifying zone, in the 51st minute.
The first period was rather lackluster except for the fact that Ramos managed to knock a header in.
After the break, the Blues put on the pressure and Atlas responded with play going back and forth until Castro received the ball on a play initiated by Colombia's Teofilo Gutierrez and evened the score with a shot from the right.
But Atlas responded just 4 minutes later with another goal of their own, thus securing their tourney lead with eight wins, two ties, two defeats and 26 points, one more than Tigres, who are slated to play Puebla and if they manage to get at least a tie will recover the lead.
Cruz Azul is currently in 11th place with 14 points.
Also on Saturday, Monterrey pounded UNAM Pumas 3-0 on late goals by Luis Mardigal in the 80th minute, Humberto Suazo in the 86th minute and Cesar Delgado in extra time, and San Luis did the same to Chiapas, the 3-0 result coming on goals by Juan Cuevas in the 23rd minute on a penalty kick, Javier Muñoz in the 62nd minute and Marco Perez Riego in the 66th minute.
Meanwhile, Morelia crushed Atlante 4-0, with the latter's Israel Martinez starting off his team's bad luck express with an own goal in the 4th minute, followed by goals by Hector Mancilla in the 21st minute, and two by Carlos Ochoa, one in the 86th minute and the second 5 minutes later.
Santos Laguna tied Queretaro 1-1, although it looked like they would notch a clear win up until the very last seconds. The first score came on a shot by Oribe Peralta Morones in the 38th minute and then an own goal by teammate Felipe Baloy in the 94th minute snatched a draw from the jaws of victory.
Also on Saturday, Toluca beat Tijuana 1-0 on a goal by Wilson Mathias in the 7th minute and Leon and Pachuca battled to a scoreless tie.
On Sunday, Tigres will go up against Puebla and America will face off against Guadalajara.

Review: Lords of the Sith
The following is the Star Wars Report's review of Lords of the Sith, presented by Joseph Tavano of RetroZAP!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail.
"It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted."
Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor's chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters—and the truest measure of Vader's allegiance has yet to be taken. Until now.
On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as "spice," an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its precious resources—by political power or firepower—and he will be neither intimidated nor denied. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done.
For Syndulla and Isval, it's the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet's surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.
With Lords of the Sith Paul S. Kemp has written a wonderful book that is a true pleasure to read. (I told him so directly). I feel like Kemp must has relished the chance to write Vader and the Emperor doing something we have never seen before—going on an adventure. He nailed the voice of both of these characters, as well as the cadence of their relationship.
I see a consistency between the Palpatine of Revenge of the Sith and the Emperor of Return of the Jedi. His contempt and power are, well, palpable. Now deeply enmeshed in the dark side of the Force, this is the Emperor you expect: spiteful, challenging, and always in control.
Meanwhile, Darth Vader takes on the expected layers of complexity. Anakin is as gone as Anakin would ever be; Vader here is the personification of anger and a full devotee of the dark side. He accesses the Force only through anger, and any hint of his previous life brings only a cycle of pain and anger. What we, the audience, would see as a moment of clarity when Vader thinks of good things he once had, turns out to be a moment of distraction and confusion to Vader. It's this turnabout of focus and worldview that shows us just how far gone Darth Vader is.
Internal struggle aside, Darth Vader is a mysterious wraith to the rest of the galaxy. He is the visage of death, unconquerable and rumored not to be human. Simply put—Darth Vader rips it up in Lords of the Sith. We see Vader the tactician; Vader the pilot; Vader the conquering warrior. Cham Syndulla and his crew are right to fear him. This isn't the stiff figure of the OT, he can move with inhuman speed and power.
Kemp nails the relationship between the Sith master and apprentice.
Interestingly enough, Vader the Sith apprentice is a dual-edged sword. Again, Kemp nails the relationship between the Sith master and apprentice. The Emperor is forever needling Vader, stoking his anger and reminding him that he is a thrall to be destroyed at any time. And then there is Vader, who is an honest Sith apprentice; he is unflinchingly loyal to the power of his master, and at all times wondering if he can (and should) take him out. There's more than a few tense moments where you wonder if the pot is going to boil over between these two. I'll say no more.
Maybe it's just me, but I do feel like there is one thing lacking from the Palpatine-Vader relationship—when does Palpatine ever actually train Vader in the dark side? There is nothing of that in this story; Darth Vader is a complete and fully trained dark side adept. I had expectations that at this point in the timeline (less than halfway through the Dark Times), that the Emperor would be imparting more knowledge of the Dark Side to Vader other than reminding him that he needs to be obedient. Perhaps some discussion about Force lightning? If and when Vader can use it? Why purple energy wind escapes from Palpatine's body when he dies? The dark side is a path many things some would deem to be unnatural, and I want to know more about that path!
There is one criticism I do have, and it has nothing to do with Kemp or the novel specifically. When the new canon was announced about a year ago, I welcomed it as the great opportunity that it is to finally tell one coherent, canon, and legitimate Star Wars story. Now, the medium did not matter; all stories put forth by Lucasfilm would work together to tell the complete history of the Galaxy Far, Far Away.
This changes the storytelling approach quite a bit. Authors did not have to be constrained to telling a Star Wars story where 1.) Things began in a familiar place 2.) New characters were introduced to tell a unique story and not overuse the major film players 3.) New characters take up a large portion of the book, but inevitably die or recede into the background 4.) The overall story of Star Wars is not impacted by the end of the book.
Why have the first four books in the new Star Wars canon not deviated from this formula? With the editorial input of the Story Group, these stories can be so much more. I want Star Wars books to answer canonical questions and tell powerful impactful stories that focus on the characters we love. I don't want them to hint and scratch at such things—after almost forty years, it's time to dive in. A cavalcade of new characters are on the way, you know. I think that authors would relish that opportunity, and I hope that this is a trend we are moving towards.
Read this book. It is a worthy entry into the new canon, and you will get a great perspective into the relationship between the Emperor and Darth Vader, and to me, that is always essential reading. Oh, by the way, there are also Royal Guards that get to see some serious action on the planet of Ryloth, a rebel cell lead by Cham Syndulla (you know, Hera's father), and one of the most inventive attacks on a Star Destroyer I've ever read or seen.
Also, minor spoiler here:
Vader uses the Force to rip apart his enemies while flying a TIE fighter.
I hope Kemp gets the chance to write more Star Wars books. He has an ease with the galaxy far, far away that feels natural and intuitive. And, if we get to see more of the relationship between the Emperor and Darth Vader, I would want him to be the person to write it.
Trilogy, anyone?
Crosscurrent & Riptide – SWBTF #31
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Greetings Fanboys, Fangirls, EU Fans, and returning Beyonders!
And welcome to Star Wars Beyond the Films!
This week, true believers, The Defender of the EU Mark Hurliman, and your EU Guru Nathan P. Butler, take you on an adventure unlike any other, as they explore Paul S. Kemp's Jaden Korr novels; Crosscurent, and Riptide. Spoilers ahead.
One Sith- the hosts both agree they want more! Which quickly leads them to ponder were these two books meant to be a duology? They sure work like one. And work well together.
Clones- such a staple of Star Wars and yet there is still so much about the process that isn't set in stone. Story potential could be lurking on the horizon.
The guys discuss Force Lightning, and the Jedi's use of it. Intentions and all that.
Speaking of Force Lightning- was this one of the many doors that lead to the Great Schism between the films and the EU? Which leads to the ponder of torturing a person by keeping them alive…. All these dark activities.
While talking dark Mark discusses how the end of Crosscurent started to take on a Deathtroopers flavor. Which leads him to gushing about Jedi of Old meeting up with Luke's Order Jedi- which brings him back to dreams of K'kruhk showing up in a book someday.
Did anyone else catch the Faal/ Fel connection? Was there one?
Should there ever be a Jedi Punisher? Or would that by default cause said Jedi to no longer be a Jedi?
The hosts discuss the character dynamics of the relationships of the main characters, but forget to touch on the running joke of Caf & Chew Stims!
Marr: Jedi Rainman
Moving into Riptide, they discuss the clones more, Mara, Lessin, Lumiya, and Solusar clones and followed by clones of Kyle Katarn, and Jaden Korr, so much still left open for more story potential.
Nyss… if ever a creepy character that flies in the face of what we thought we knew.
Is Jaden the modern version of Jacen's vision in the New Jedi Order? Does fate have more to tell?
The use of Rakatan technology was interesting. It's use was just plain mind boggling….
Could Jaden be the star of a larger series? What do the One Sith have planned? What are the ramifications of the end of Riptide?
Mark relates the identity crisis of the cloning to Spider-man's Clone Saga with Peter Parker and his clone Ben Reilly as they each thought the other was the original and later the clone. Which leads the hosts to explore identity crisis with clones in the Star Wars Saga. Nathan compares it to The Force Unleashed's story with Galen Starkiller. A lot of deep thoughts!
Another must listen episode with your dynamic duo. Enjoy and may the Force be with you!

Customer Reviews
This cereal is by far the most delicious and nutritious thing you can buy. I mix mine with greek yogurt and it makes for a very healthy and filling breakfast that doesn't spike my blood sugar at all.
I love this product. My boys love it too with a touch of maple syrup. Has anyone tried sprouting Q'ia?
This is the most delicious cereal I have ever had. I usually eat handfuls of dry hemp, chia, and buckwheat. This is much better. I enjoy it with delicious quinoa milk and some acai berries. I recommend it for people who have trouble with their bowel movements. I usually eat 8-10 bowls per day. Best cereal ever!

The WP documentation and the instructional videos I Googled all show photo uploads on WP--but the screen I get is not the one I'm seeing on these videos. They show a "Browse" button; I get a "Choose Files" button. More importantly, the videos and instructions show that when you choose the image file, the filepath enters itself in the box. But what I get is simply an icon of the image, and when I click that image, nothing happens.
Can anybody explain how I can get my screen to behave the same way as the instructional screens? Photos are an integral part of my upcoming blog, and hours of research has not helped. Thanks.

I just got a new PC and monitor. The PC is a dell precision 690 which is used. I got a new samung 27in LCD monitor. Fresh Windows 7 install. Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
There are small glimmers, almost half fades that happen frequently (~0.5 Hz, but not regular). Every few minutes (twice during the typing of this description) or so the monitor shuts off. It is not the computer's power settings as I have shut them off and moving the mouse or typing does not turn the monitor back on. Either power cycling the monitor or unplugging the DVI/HDMI cable from either end turns the monitor back on for a time but the problem continues.
Any ideas? I feel it's not the video card as power cycling the monitor fixes it. So I'm thinking it's either the monitor or the cable. Anyone come across a similar situation.
Thanks in advance.

Sacramento State nursing alumna Sarah Blake, RN, BSN, has seafaring in her DNA. Her father served as a submariner in the U.S. Navy. Her great-grandfather, cousin, aunt and uncle were sailors as well. Her younger brother also is in submarine school in Groton, Conn.
Blake was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Nurse Corps on March 15 at Sacramento State and welcomed as the familys first commissioned officer by her parents and three sisters.
Blakes quest to become a naval officer began in 2012, when she underwent multiple interviews, security clearance screening, credentialing and a highly selective board review process with the government.
"Sarah combines a razor-sharp engineering, IT-type mind with a compassionate, caring heart and an inner drive to excel," Debra Brady, RN, DNP, MSN, one of Blakes mentoring instructors, said in a news release. "She has contributed well over 400 hours of volunteer time in the school of nursing, working in simulation labs, mentoring students, providing assistance to faculty and students with computer/IT issues, and being part of community projects. Her contributions have made the school a better place."
On May 11, Blake reported to Officer Development School in Newport, R.I., for intensive training. She then will report to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

Early screenshots of Unity showed web applications on the launcher that would get launched in the browser.
I heavily use Chrome's "appmode", which makes .desktop files of web applications and runs them as a seperate application. I would like to put these applications on my launcher so that when I click on it it launches gmail in a separate window, like a separate application from my browser.
Am I missing something? Launching the application from the .desktop file from the file manager just opens it my existing browser.
