text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 210818 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 318 AM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 318 AM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 Similar to previous nights across the area, with temperatures still holding in the low 80s for much of the area at this early hour. A bit more wind out west has kept middle 80s there. Outflow boundary has made progress across western Kansas from convection on the high plains, and may make a run at the north central counties but not expecting much in the way of a sensible weather impact. Mid level temps rise 2-4C at 850mb today, and have increased high temps a few degrees to reflect this. Widespread heat indices around 110F make for dangerous heat today and the excessive heat warning remains in place. Also expecting another night with lows well into the 70s. A few models generate convection late to our northeast or west, but do not think it will impact our forecast area before sunrise on Friday. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 318 AM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 The forecast remains on track into at least Saturday. Weak front washes out in central Nebraska Friday with minor convergence resulting to the northwest and west. Enough potential for convection to form and move this way for small pops in the northwest counties Friday night. Upper ridge breaks down somewhat Friday into Friday night with upper wave passing well north during the weekend. Continued south to southwest low level flow however keeps hot air in place. Models continue to show hottest conditions Friday with 850mb temps mainly in the 25-30C range. There remains to be some variation in how hot/mixed western areas will be, but overall combination of heat and humidity keeps afternoon heat index values in the 103-111 range for the entire area Friday and Saturday. Models continue to trend a bit slower with front`s passage through the area during the weekend, with the potential for at least southeastern areas to be in the warm sector for much of Sunday. Questions on specifics of mixing depths in the weaker flow, dewpoints, cloud cover, and potential precip however keep confidence too low for an extension of the Warning. As for precip chances, weak forcing keeps chances low Saturday night and Sunday, with better potential in subsequent periods, mainly Sunday night and Tuesday night-Wednesday -- Sunday night as the low level jet increases over the old front and Tuesday night into Wednesday as the next upper wave passes across the Northern Plains and the jet again responds. Extreme heat is not anticipated to return in these periods, with highs mainly in the 90- 95 range depending on precip timing/persistence. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1138 PM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 VFR prevails with southerly winds at or just below 10 kts this evening, increasing during the afternoon with occasional gusts to 20 kts. LLWS remains marginal through 12Z. Latest short term trends are showing stronger sfc winds at KMHK, therefore lowering the potential. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Excessive Heat Warning until 7 PM CDT Saturday for KSZ008>012- 020>024-026-034>040-054>056-058-059. && $$ SHORT TERM...67 LONG TERM...65 AVIATION...Prieto

Of the 12 Americans who set foot on the moon between 1969 and 1972 and subsequently readjusted to civilian life, Roth interviews 7 - Buzz Aldrin, Charlie Duke, Gene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, John Young, Edgar Mitchell and Alan Bean - who offer intimate and candid reflections on their personal experiences from childhood through the present, their recollections of space travel and the NASA space program per se, and their postflight experiences in daily life. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

On Thursday, August 30, 2007, at 3:38 a.m., two suspects entered the 7-11 store located at 2815 North Killingsworth Street, stole wine, chips, and then left the store without paying. The store clerk attempted to stop the suspect, following him outside. Meanwhile, a second suspect also took items from the store and followed the clerk outside. Once outside, the clerk was confronted by both of the suspects and possibly two other associates waiting in the getaway vehicle. The clerk returned to the store, grabbed a metal pipe, and went back outside. After a struggle, the clerk lost control of the pipe, and was savagely beaten with it by the suspects. The clerk sustained serious head trauma, including bleeding on the brain and a skull fracture. The suspects fled the scene, but were captured on surveillance video.
Suspect #1 is described as a black male in his 20's, 5'9" tall and 160 pounds. He was wearing a blue baseball cap with a yellow emblem, long-sleeved blue shirt with horizontal strips on the sleeves and blue jeans. Suspect # 2 is described as a Pacific Islander male in his 20's, 6'2" tall, 230 pounds, goatee, and long bushy hair in a ponytail. He was wearing a gray sleeveless T-shirt with the Heineken logo on the back, and dark-colored shorts with white stripes. Suspects fled the scene in an older maroon or similar colored large sedan. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in this case, or any unsolved felony, and you remain anonymous.

What do you do with pain so bad it has no redeeming value? It cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that there is no way to objectify it or push it outside or find its beauty within. That is the pain I'm feeling now. It's so bad, it's useless. The only lesson I will ever derive from this pain is how bad pain can be.

You know you've completely descended into madness when the matter of shampoo has ascended to philosophical heights.
There is a classic moment in The Sun Also Rises when someone asks Mike Campbell how he went bankrupt, and all he can say in response is, 'Gradually and then suddenly.' When someone asks how I lost my mind, that is all I can say too.
I start to get the feeling that something is really wrong. Like all the drugs put together...can no longer combat whatever it is that was wrong with me in the first place. I feel like a defective model, like I came off the assembly line flat-out fucked and my parents should have taken me back for repairs before the warranty ran out.
I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.

Historical Traveler Reviews Seagull Hotel Miami South Beach Miami Beach
If you're thinking of staying here... don't!
This hotel is a total DUMP! I stayed here with four friends in July 2004, we'd originally booked to stay here for 5 nights but ended up only staying for one! When we arrived one of our rooms hadn't even been cleaned, so were given the choice by the front desk staff of either staying a dirty room or moving to another one as the housekeeping staff had all left for the day... obviously we took the latter option. The new room had no balcony and over-looked a building site which started work at 7am the next morning! We asked to speak to the hotel manager at around 8pm, only to be told he wouldn't be in till the next morning and they had no night manager on duty. Some of the more worst aspects of the stay included;
One of my friend's bed sheets had a old blood stain on it.
Our TV ariel was hanging by a thread and the reception on the TV was non-exsistant.
Air-conditioning loud enough to wake the dead.
Broken cupboards and drawers.
We stayed out until after mid-night trying to find another alternative for the next day. Upon arriving back at our room, my friend finds a rather unwelcome extra guest in the guise of a huge cockroach on her bed headboard!
After a very uncomfortable night's sleep, we couldn't wait to get up and leave this hell hole. Upon checking out, we asked to speak to the manager again, and was told that we would have to wait as he was dealing with other guests... more complaints i assume! When he finally did turn up, and we presented him with the evidence of old blood on the sheets and a squashed cockroach on the headboard, he admitted that he wouldn't stay in some of the rooms himself! We managed to get a 75% refund of the cost of the 1 night we stayed at the 'hotel', and am pleased to say, we made a very fast exit and moved further up Collins Avenue to the much more plush, clean and luxurious Eden Roc Resort and Spa, which only cost an extra $45 a night!
So if you are thinking about staying at this Days Inn, i can only say to you, don't do it. You can get much better hotels for around the same price in South Beach... i can only wonder how this one manages to stay in business.
Budget hotel on the beach.
This hotel is okay if you are looking for a budget hotel on Miami Beach. My friend's room smelled like smoke even thought she requested non-smoking. We had a large deck overlooking the beach which made the whole thing worth it. The pool is actually pretty nice. The hotel is somewhat run-down but the location is good.
Awful Hotel
The pictures of this hotel are very misleading. This is an old and dirty hotel. Rooms were filthy and were not cleaned the entire time we stayed there. The carpet was stained. I do not recommend this hotel.
Rude Service
Location is the only thing saving the Days Inn here. The rooms are dirty and houskeeping made us feel we were completely putting them out by simply asking for towels that were never given to us in the first place. Even when they do clean the rooms our sheets were not fresh and the floors were never vacuumed. The windows in our room were stuck shut which gave us a complete lack of fresh air. The employees at the front desk were unbelievably rude and they seemed they could not get rid of us fast enough. We were never given a 'Do not disturb' sign in 4 days there. House keeping pounded on our door 3 times every morning starting promtly at 8:30 am even after we requested a do not disturb sign. The shower was like walking on a water-bed with old water somehow accumulating under the tub. Don't be fooled by the lounge/bar area. It's in the corner of the lobby and is useless. You will also be charged a fee every day for a tiny room safe which they do not tell you about upon check in. If I ever go back to South Beach I would pay a little more and stay somewhere where you weren't made to feel unwelcome by unhelpful, rude staff.
Not so bad!
We recently moved to this hotel from a real dive and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was clean and did not have a mildewy smell, nor stale cigarette smell. It was basic, did not have any amenities such as coffee maker or frig, but was in a decent location, had a nice pool, and close access to the beach. Overall, a decent basic room. I did hear other guests grumbling about smelly rooms, though, so maybe we just got a good one.
Enjoyed my stay
I stayed at this hotel from 10/8-10/12/2004. The location is perfect, the only thing i did not like is the buffet is $10 and was small, but we went to the denny's up the street, which we were happy to find out they had carry out.
The rooms were clean, staff friendly, of course this is not a 4 star hotel. I would definitely stay at this hotel again, but will not, since i prefer to stay in the lower numbers 10-18. Not to worry this hotel is fine.
Truly awful hotel
This could be a good hotel. It's in a good location and the foyer and pool area are pleasant enough.
Unfortunately, the hotel is extremely badly maintained. The rooms are in poor repair and smell badly of mould.
Cleaning services are pretty perfunctory. The windows were dirty, paint chipped and the bath grimy. Areas not in full view, such as behind the dresser were absolutely filthy.
Nasty hotel - avoid.
What a horriable exoerience we had at the Days Inn, we stayed 2 nights at the hotel, we arrrived checked inn went up to our room, the room wasn't cleaned the maid came and we waited outside the room for 10min, the bathroom light never worked they had someone come up to fix it twice and it still never worked. They room was dirty and smelled, and so did the hallways, I will never stay there again, or any Day's Inn for that matter
Avoid this scam of a hotel
This was the worst and sorryest experience i have ever had in my life with any hotel. First i made advance reservations online for an oceanfront room with a balcony, 2 double beds. smoking and a coffeemaker. I arrive at the hotel and they get done cleaning the rooms later then the 3pm check in time, then i check in and they give me the wrong room. The room had 2 double beds, no coffeemaker, no balcony and was not oceanfront. I went back to the checkin desk to tell them this was the wrong room, they looked in their computer at my reservations and told me no it wasnt that this is what i reserved. I have here at home the confirmation email which even states otherwise. So obviously being only on a 2 day vacation with my wife and I we wanted to have a nicer room then that and he said they didnt have any available, even though i had reservations, so we spent 2 hours walking the streets of downtown south beach miami looking a similar style room and couldnt find one so we finally came back and the manager lowered our rate down to $99 per night from the original 139 and gave us a side room with a balcony. This room didnt even have a coffeemaker. They told us to try back downstairs on sunday and maybe something like we wanted would become available. Finally at 3:30pm on sunday we got a new room, that was oceanfront but the balcony was a horrible mess and not at all private, room only had 1 queen bed, and the bathtub had to have repairs, 2 or 3 lightbulbs were blown out, the TV remote didnt work, and once they came up to replace all this we found out that the TV in this room didnt get all the channels it was supposed to, it was lacking about 6 or 7 channels that the other crappier room had. The next morning upon waking up i was in a hurry to check out obviously and the alarm clock in the room ended up being almost 2 hours fast after I had rushed thinking it was later than it was. This days inn totally destroyed almost my entire 2 day vacation. So badly that obviously not wanting to go home without salvaging some good from the vacation I ended up going down the street and finding a much more higher quality room at Best Western for a cheaper rate to stay 2 days longer than i ended to, basically i restarted my whole vacation. I stayed at this hotel because of triprewards and i thought that days inn was supposed to be one of the nicer hotel choices in the chain of hotels offered by triprewards however i have now since coming home cancelled all my reservations at other days inn's for the remainder of this year because of this. How and Why I could not have the right room type at the hotel when i made reservations, got a confirmation email, and even called the hotel 2 times prior to arrival to re-verify the reservations and room type just blows my mind. I know the manager lowered the rate to try and make me a little happier but when im already gonna spend 100 dollars per night on a hotel i really could care less if its 100 or 140 the cheaper rate doesnt ease my pain or frustration or fix my totally destroyed and ruined vacation, all it does is make my wallet feel 80 dollars total better, and if i really were worried about 80 dollars, id have no business in miami on vacation from raleigh, nc in the first place. ill never stay at another days inn again, and its very unlikely anyone else out of the other 15 or so people in my family who travel frequently will either as theyve had some bad experiences with other days inns and hearing my experience is definitely the tip of the apple for them too. Anyhow overal im a very frustrated days inn customer and with very very good reason.
Avoid this property!!!!
Stayed at this hotel from 28th to 31st december 2001.Its a dump!!!!There is much better value elswhere in south beach.Called twice from south africa to ensure we would have an ocean facing, non-smoking room and got neither.Staff were disinterested and unhelpful and only repeated ad nauseam "the hotel is full - nothing we can do"
The room stank,bath leaked and there was mould in the bathroom!tried to discuss all this with unresponsive staff!!
We cancelled our reservations at the other days inns we were due to stay at during our trip

I want to modify the number of words when I call the_excerpt() function. There are a ton of examples out there for how to do this; however, I'm not able to get any of them to work. No matter what solution I try, or what number I set the word count to be, the function always returns the first paragraph (unless the first paragraph has more than 55 words and then it truncates and appends the standard ellipses).
For example, without any hacks and just calling the_excerpt() function, the following post...
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.<paragraph>
Four score and seven years ago…"
...would return "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." even though this is far less than 55 words.
I'm using 3.0.1 although I'm not sure if this matters. Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, found a solution?

Quantitative Conservation of Vertebrates [With CDROM] / Edition 1by Michael J. Conroy, John P. Carroll
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 02/09/2009
Publisher: Wiley

This book provides a hands-on introduction to the construction and application of models to studies of vertebrate distribution, abundance, and habitat. The book is aimed at field biologists, conservation planners, and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students who are involved with planning and analyzing conservation studies, and applying the results to conservation decisions. The book also acts as a bridge to more advanced and mathematically challenging coverage in the scientific literature.
Part I provides a basic background in population and community modeling. It introduces statistical models, and familiarizes the reader with important concepts in the design of monitoring and research programs. These programs provide the essential data that guide conservation decision making. Part II covers the principal methods used to estimate abundance, occupancy, demographic parameters, and community parameters, including occupancy sampling, sample counts, distance sampling, and capture-mark-recapture (for both closed and open populations). Emphasis is placed on practical aspects of designing and implementing field studies, and the proper analysis of data. Part III introduces structured decision making and adaptive management, in which predictive models are used to inform conservation decision makers on appropriate decisions in the face of uncertainty - with the goal of reducing uncertainty through monitoring and research. A detailed case study is used to illustrate each of these themes.
Companion Website and CD-ROM
The authors have provided an electronic companion to the book in two formats: CD-ROM, and a webpage maintained at the University of Georgia, available from:blackwellpublishing.com/conroy

Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
I don't have the wireless problem as i have the network wired only version but mine seems to be simular as in the print drivers for the 8500 series refuses to connect to the printer over the network.
I can ping the printer and get replies just fine.
I can open the printers web server just fine allthough i don't know what hp had set for the user and password.
To put it simply, everything shows the printer as being connnected to the network EXCEPT for the hp software regardless if its the installation software or the drivers, it's only the hp software that shows the printer as not being out there.
I have a officejet pro L7500 series printer connected to the same network and it works flawlessly. no problems printing to it with any of the computers regardless if the computers are wired or wireless connected to the network. I have used hp products for years without a lot of issues until this one printer that apperently everyone is having issues with in relation to network printing.
Oh and i've used the drivers downloaded off the website too in hopes of getting the most up to date but it seems that hp is not bothering with fixing the problem, so, it looks like the 8500 will be returned as defective and a different brand purchased to replace it.
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
I started to experience issues with my Dlink 655 Extreme N router on a wireless PC so I ended up getting a Netgear WNDR3700. Surprisingly, the connection with the HP 8500 A909N has been solid. There are two separate bands one at 2.4ghz and the other at 5 ghz. Both are broadcasting the N band so my orginal thought of the 8500 having issues with N band, might not have been universal. I am now assuming it was the implementation of the Dlink router that was causing the disconnect. I was an early adopter of the N-band technology and the Dlink version I had was before they ratified the standard. The Netgear was not cheap, but it has alleviated my discontent with the HP 8500 and some headaches with another wireless PC so it was worth the investment.

Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
I haven't gone through the entire discussion here in detail, so forgive me if this is not exactly appropiate. I have an OfficeJet 7310 with a wired connection to my LAN and recently got a new D-link router. I am seeing a problem with the printer be disconnected from the network, partucularly when I power it on. Resetting the router solves the problem. This is my hunch at the moment; The HP software does not send out a DHCPDISCOVER packet, it always starts with DHCPREQUEST. When the router see this it responds with a DHCPACK but the release, renewal, and rebinding times are all set to 0 despite the DHCP server function in the router being configured with a more useful value. This apparently results in the printer not setting it's IP address but going through a constant cycle of sending immediately sending another DHCPREQUEST packet. That is, until I reset the router. The router then takes tthe next DHCPREQUEST from the printer and replies with a DHCPACK that has the configured lease time. Communication and printing can then commence. I am investigating further. The recommendation in the short term is to put the printer on a fixed IP address.
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
I have a 7380 which continually went offline. It was, of course, when it "went to sleep". I did give it a static (fixed) IP address but, unfortunately, that didn't work either. I tried everything HP (and everyone else) suggested. I've since disconnected it and, for the first time in 20+ years, sadly gone to another manufacturer's printer. But I wasn't using the 7380 wired, as you are. Perhaps you'll be successful in having your 7310 work properly, with a static IP, using a wired setup. Good luck!
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
kingster - thanks for pointing this out. Now I am curious about tweaking these settings to see if that is the fix. I have been solid with the Netgear router wihtout changing a thing on the HP Printer - Wireless setting, but I just might hook up the Dlink for another try to satisfy my curiosity.
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
Well I have a Netgear DG834N, all the wired networked PC's running XP are fine, but the Laptop connected Wireless to the network and running Windows 7 just keeps losing the printer every couple of hours or days it's never the same.
I have to add device and it finds the 8500 but solution centre will work unless I install the whole package all over.
Getting to be a right pain I can tell you.

For what it's worth (and, as mentioned previously, I wasn't using the 8500 series but this problem is affecting a multitude of HP networked printers - hardwired and wireless) I had problems with three different, properly installed operating systems and properly installed and updated HP drivers and software - XP Pro, Vista and Sys 7 Pro. They all would, at different times and none at the same time, lose their connection with the printer. And, as always, the only way to regain it would be to restart the router. I even went so far as to buy different routers, attempting to see if the problem could be focused on the router. But it wasn't - the problem lies with HP and their printers/software. Personally, I believe if they would simply find away to keep the printer from powering down ("going to sleep") all would be fine, but that still would not solve the inherent problem.
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
Since adding a fixed IP for the printer in my settings for the Netgear DG834N I have not had a problem.
This seems to have worked for me.
Re: OfficeJet Pro 8500 keeps going off the network (Disconnec
I have been having same problem on wireless 8500, and my XP - also wireless. The printer drops off line all the time and I just go to the printers and fax on the control pannel, select the printer and select "USE PRINTER ONLINE". This is annoying. The wrinkle is that I have a Mac laptop on the same wireless network and the printer never drops off line to that computer (so it seems that the problem is probably in the XP printer driver)>

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Well, First Second Books' Vampire Month is over, but we still have the back end of the alphabet to deal with, and we'll begin with perhaps the dorkiest comic book vampire on this list (just perhaps)
Nightrider was a vampire who went by the name Dagon. His original human name was David, and when he was a ten-year-old boy, he was hit by a car and then taken in by the evil forces of Lord Chaos. Lord Chaos's forces then did all sorts of experiments on David – primarily among them, an attempt to turn him into a sort of vampire using DNA from Count Dracula.
The plan worked TOO well, and a demon became involved, and turned David into an ACTUAL vampire.
Now calling himself Dagon, he slaughtered almost all the troops who were guarding him – except one troop who showed him some kindness. Along with that troop, he joined the resistance to Lord Chaso.
He eventually joined one faction of the Team Titans resistance and was part of the group that was stranded in the past in an attempt to kill Lord Chaos.
Eventually, he became more and more vampiric…
Although he did manage to save his younger self from getting hit by the car!!
And then it was revealed that almost all of the Team Titans were actually creations of the villain Extant, who needed a superpowered army of cannon fodder heroes – and that is what Nightrider was.
During Zero Hour, he just plain ol' vanished, along with most of the other Team Titans.
Not one of Marv Wolfman's better creations, and I think he'll freely admit that himself – Nightrider was designed as a bit of a throwaway character who was then given (along with the other Team Titans) way more screen time than originally intended.
Wow, from Morbius to . . . Teen Morbius?
A vampire with a talking car would be a pretty cool idea.
I bought this book for a year and a half. Despite Jimenez's artwork, I kept on thinking "So this is the Teen Titans everyone always talks about…this isn't that good." One issue was just about four rocks floating around a house all day. That was it for me: I stopped my pull order.
Good to know the X-books didn't have the market cornered on crappy spin-offs in this era.
"with perhaps the dorkiest comic book vampire on this list (just perhaps)"
I wonder if you ever heard of Captain Cadaver ? Despite the ridiculous name, he was a very ruthless and effective vampire!
Say! You totally skipped Count Chocula!
I am a brother to alphabets,
and a companion to letters.
My skin is black upon me,
and my bones are burned with heat.
JOB Ch. 30, verses 29-30
Wow, the irritating alphabet comment took longer than usual this time.
I think he's twelve letters away from being the most hated commenter on CSBG.
I do aim to please.
[H]e slaughtered almost all the troops who were guarding him – except one troop who showed him some kindness.
Despite current popular usage, "troop" does not mean an individual soldier, which is what the above sentence sounds like you mean. "Troops" means an unspecified number of soldiers, but "troop" means a unit (comprised of several "troopers" or individual soldiers) under command of a captain.

Montpelier teen honored for 4-H accomplishments
MONTPELIER A 16-year-old Montpelier 4-H Club member has been recognized as the 2012 Washington County 4-Her of the Year.
Emily Campbell, daughter of Jack and Pamela Campbell, was selected for her leadership, service and mastery of projects.
It was definitely a surprise, Campbell said.
A friend of hers, Spaulding High School student Mariah Harding, won the award from the Washington County 4-H Foundation the previous year.
As a seven-year member of the Partridge Hill Horse Lovers 4-H Club, Campbell has excelled in the horse project and earned a spot on the University of Vermont Extension state 4-H horse judging team that competed at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup in Lexington, Ky., in November. The judges evaluate horses abilities in performing tasks and their breeding quality.
Being involved with that national horse event was a goal Campbell set for herself when she first joined 4-H.
The U-32 junior has been a club officer and served on the Vermont 4-H Teen Congress board.
As a board member she helped plan this annual UVM Extension event, which brings 4-Hers from throughout the state to the UVM campus for three days of educational workshops, team-building exercises, community service projects and fun activities, according to a 4-H news release.
Campbell credited the many life skills she learned in 4-H including leadership and organization as one of the reasons she was selected to represent the United States as a delegate to the International Earth Science Olympiad in Buenos Aires in October.
At the Washington County Youth Leader Presentations and 4-H Achievement Night in November, she gave a presentation on her experiences at the earth science event.

text: What you're feeling is perfectly normal. Instead of beating yourself up or taking your envy out on your pal, keep in mind that while experiencing both happiness and envy may be uncomfortable, it's not uncommon. To dispel any awkwardness with your friend, tell her what's on your mind. You could say, "I want to let you know that although I'm acting a bit funny, I'm truly happy for you—I'm just a little jealous. I hope you understand." Chances are, she will. Finally, what's most important is how you cope with these emotions. You might want to mull over why her promotion is so painful for you. Often, when someone else's success stings, it's a clue that an area in your own life needs attention. Maybe it's time to think about how you can get a promotion of your own.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quick and really easy to make, with ingredients that I always have in my kitchen. So good, great flavors and wonderful textures. Made exactly as written, wouldn't change a thing. Loved all the different flavors in this dish, the lemon, olives, feta and ripe tomatoes. Yummy! A beautiful addition to our meal. thank you so much for sharing a new favorite. Made for ZWT9.
Great salad to go with Chicken Souvlaki. Used fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden. YUM.
This is so easy to do and so yummy. Thanks Alli :) Made for ZWT9

We have installed Super Cache on my website http://www.milehighonthecheap.com and it has helped with some sudden and unexplained CPU load spikes. For that I am grateful. However Super Cache is also caching a page called Daily Deals that pulls in data from another site and doesn't want to update or refresh every hour as it should. So this a.m. we discovered that the deals listed were 2 days old, even though the origin page is refreshed every 3 hours. I want to simply remove that page from caching but so far have only figured out how to not cache every page (the same way i told Super cache to not cache my feed). Is there a simple way to tell the plugin not to cache a specific page. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. The Plugin has helped us tremendously through some bad times, but I need to start caching all pages save a few to really get things in check so we don't spike again or, worse, crash.

If you own a bicycle, at some point you will probably have to change the tires. Worn down or cracked bicycle tires can be very dangerous because the tube inside is exposed and may suddenly blow out if you ride over a sharp object. Another reason to change your bicycle tires is if you plan to ride on different types of terrain. You will need a tire with more traction if you switch from cycling on paved roads to cycling off-road, while tires that are narrower are more efficient on smooth, paved roads and trails. When it comes to safety, tires are one of the most important bicycle parts and accessories to consider.
Deflate the old tube completely before you remove the tire. This will give you the maximum amount of room to maneuver the tire levers around the wheel's edge.
Detach the wheel from the bicycle's frame. Depending on the type of bicycle you have, this is done either by flipping the quick-release lever to the open position or unscrewing a nut at each end of the axle to release the wheel. If you are removing the rear wheel, first slide it forward to release the tension in the chain. Slip the chain off of the hub's sprockets before pulling the wheel away from the bicycle.
Insert the round end of a tire lever between the rim of the wheel and the tire, slowly pushing it down until it slides under the edge of the tire. Press down on the other end of the lever to pry the tire from the rim. Once the edge of the tire pops free from the rim, use the small notch in the lever's end to hook it onto a spoke and keep the tire held open.
Insert another tire lever into the gap between the tire and wheel. Slowly slide this lever around the edge of the rim until you have pried one whole side of the tire out of the wheel. If the tire lever becomes stuck, insert a third lever and work that around the rim until you can free the tire. Pull the tube out from inside of the tire and remove the tire from the wheel.
Set one edge of the new tire inside the rim. Insert the valve of the tube into the hole in the rim and then push the bicycle tube into the open edge of the tire, making sure there are no kinks or creases. You can pump a small amount of air into the bicycle tube to make it easier to push into the tire.
Push the second edge of the tire onto the rim with your hands, stopping when it becomes too difficult to proceed without using a tire lever. Wedge the tire lever between the open edge of the tire and the wheel. Push up on the lever to force the tire down onto the edge of the rim. Continue to work around the wheel until the tire is completely on the rim.
Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended air pressure. This is usually listed on a label on the side of the tire. Place the wheel back onto the bicycle's frame. Make sure the brakes are correctly aligned after the tire has been mounted to the bike's frame before cycling.

After a hearty home cooked breakfast by Kendra Chris & I headed off alone as Mel wanted a day of easier roads & to visit a small castle, Frank was hostage!

Unfortunately, I did not realize how high up Aspen is (2400m above sea level) and once we started our hike at Maroon Bells, I felt quite dizzy and tired. Turns out I must have had some sort of altitude sickness at 3000m above sea level... That happened on our hike in Santa Fe as well.. well, now I know :)
I recovered quickly and finished the hike at least...

When we got our right of way, it was written that no more than 3 houses could be constructed on that easement. Now someone above us, on the mountain, wants to extend that lane. Does that first restriction on our right of way get snowed under, or does that restrict this new property too? We already have 3 homes on this lane. If we grant the easement on our lane, does that mean they cannot use their land to build a home? There is another lane coming from an adjacent public road. We are being sued (all residents on both lanes) to gain access to this upper property. My property is at the top of both lanes. This is mountain ground. I gave access across my property using an existing easement then breaking off from it to the property above mine. He thought it was too steep and didn't accept it.
Real Estate Attorney
Your question mixes the three following issues: 1) zoning restrictions on number of homes on a private drive, 2) modification of existing easement agreements and 3) it seems someone is using the Private Road Act to acquire a right of way to their landlocked property. These are very difficult issues and are not really capable of being fully addressed online.
I am just now finishing re-writing my book on these topics for presentation at a program called Boundary Law at the Pennsylvania Bar Institute Center in Mechanicburg on June 28. You need to hire a lawyer that has been to one of my Boundary Law classes in the past. I assume you are on the mountain just west of town and are in Franklin County. You can start reading my guides on the topic of easements found on this site. I should say the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is tinkering with the Private Road Act.

Ginkgo's Josh Grier: My favorite records talk about deep and sad things in funny ways
L-R: Jeremy Hanson, Jacob Hanson, Adam Switlick, Josh Grier, and Rob Skoro
Photo by Charlie B. Ward and Graham Tolbert
In some ways Josh Grier still doesn't know what hit him when Tapes 'n Tapes unexpectedly blew up seven years ago. On the strength of their ragged-but-right debut album, The Loon, they surged from little local band to toast of the blogosphere seemingly overnight.
"We made a record in a friend's basement in a week and then were suddenly touring the world," recalls Grier, still sounding audibly astonished, over early-evening pints at the Depot. "All kinds of crazy things were happening that I had never fathomed. I wouldn't change anything, but it truly was like riding a roller coaster."
The roller coaster finally came to a halt last year after two more albums and a leveling off in blog buzz. Indie-rock kingmakers Pitchfork Media, who anointed T 'n T as saviors in early 2006, declared them passé only 26 months later. The band agreed to take an extended hiatus and explore other creative outlets. Shortly after T 'n T hit pause, Grier suddenly found himself with even more time on his hands when he lost his steady day job as a data analyst, which he had maintained despite an exhaustive touring schedule.
"I had a year and a half where I wasn't working a day job for the first time since I graduated from college, and I didn't really have any band stuff going on either," says Grier, now 34. "Suddenly I had all this freedom. That was both really confusing in some ways and great in others."
The downtime birthed Manopause, the debut album from his new solo project, Ginkgo.
Working at home free of the expectations attached to the Tapes 'n Tapes name or the need to please anyone else, Grier pushed the envelope, reconnecting with the raw-nerve sensibility of T 'n T's best work and channeling it in new directions. In a spirit of playful experimentation, Grier pushed layers of wiry electric guitars and goofy synthesizer squiggles in and out of homemade mixes atop quirky programmed drum beats.
"I tried to capture a lot of the experimentation that goes on when you're writing songs," he says. "In a band setting you typically have to have the parts nailed down before you record. I miss the element of surprise in a lot of music nowadays, where it seems like any note or element that's just slightly 'off' gets ironed away. Some of my favorite records growing up had wrong notes."
The finished product retains this fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants philosophy. Songs like "Bitte Meddler" feature catchy choruses colliding into herky jerky improvised guitar solos, while the initially tightly coiled and propulsive "Rubberheart" segues into an extended outro that teeters on the verge of collapse before resolving confidently.
Beneath all of Manopause's jokey song titles ("Line Dancing with the Stars") and goofy overdubs, however, lies a surprisingly heartfelt album, filled with insightful ruminations on growing up without growing old. Stunning album closer "Vitamin Friends" fi nds Grier lamenting the passing of time ("I want the old times back/When we don't watch the clock/When we don't match our socks") and those friends whose aging has sapped their sense of possibility ("Are you determined to live like you're old? Why aren't you here with the rest of the world?").
"Life is always confusing," says Grier. "And you can either get negatively wrapped up in that, or you can laugh at all the really weird, crazy, and sad things that happen. It all depends on your outlook. I didn't want this record to be dark; I wanted it to be light. If you read the lyrics you'll see there are some dark themes going on, but I largely treated them humorously. Some of my favorite records, like Beatles albums, talk about deep and sad things in funny ways. There's something to be said for musical comedy. Fun is important."
Staying true to that fun-loving spirit is now Grier's prime objective as a musician. He's assembled a crack band of local scene veterans to back him in live performances around town, but future plans for Ginkgo are purposely open-ended and don't include extensive touring for now. (Plus, he's since found a new data analyst job.)
"I don't want to be the guy who sounds unappreciative of the opportunities he's been given," Grier says. "I've certainly had some great experiences touring. But at this point in my life, is being on tour for eight months and not seeing my family and friends going to make me happy? Or is it better maybe to still enjoy making music but not worry about pushing to keep doing it at a certain level? It's going to sound like a hippie thing to say, but everybody gets to choose their own path in life. There are a lot of different ways to be happy."
GINKGO play their CD-release show with Carroll on Friday, September 20, at Icehouse; 612-276-6523

Online Database Allows Patients To See Who Pays Their Doctor
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on August 16, 2014 @ 7:40PM
Created on August 16, 2014 @ 6:08PM
A new database that shows payments made to doctors and physicians will soon be available online for the publics viewing.
The federal government says it will go online in late September, and it will allow medical patients to find out how much their doctor is being paid by drug makers and device manufacturers.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is calling the database the Open Payment System, and says it will let patients check and see if their doctors have any conflict of interests in which treatments and drugs they are prescribing.
The Open Payment System stems from the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which allows the public to see how physicians and doctors are paid, and aims to expose conflict of interests that lead to more expensive treatments.
One local resident feels the public should know this information to an extent.
"Well that's pretty good information for people to know. They would like to know it, but doctors can't tell everything" said Mary-Kay Urso of Marion County.
The Open Payment System database is expected to be available to the public on September 30th.

With the backdrop of the current budget climate, agency CIOs should leverage emerging technologies to better deal with demands of further belt-tightening and growing expectations for workplace efficiency, said a General Services Administration official.
In a June 18 blog post on GSA's technology blog, Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of GSA's Integrated Technology Services, addressed the demands for government CIOs to be more efficient with fewer resources. One way for agencies to up employee productivity is to use mission-enhancing technologies such as mobility, cloud, video and mobile apps. But that implementation doesn't always come without its challenges, she acknowledged.
When resources are locked in legacy systems, agencies frequently duplicate efforts to meet similar requirements, she wrote. Citing a recent roundtable discussion, Davie said there's a belief that agencies share infrastructure requirements more often than not, and government CIOs want to migrate more basic requirements to a service-based model.
To push the government forward, agencies have to shift their resources from legacy systems to emerging technologies, and transitioning to a governmentwide shared service will help eliminate duplication, Davie said.
Efforts in which agencies are sharing resources are already seen in programs such as Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. The initiative's "do once, use many" approach streamlines the security approval process for cloud providers, saving agencies time and money.
The Networx contract is another example where agencies can see substantial savings. Davie said agencies have that met contract requirements have saved about $7.7 billion since 1999 as compared to commercial telecommunications prices.
Those two efforts are good steps, but more work remains to be done, Davie stressed.
"Government must continue working with agencies and industry to define requirements and develop IT acquisition solutions that enable agencies to get more for their mission," she wrote.

How are clustered indexes stored on a hard disk? What is the logical order?
How do non-clustered indexes work?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
How are clustered indexes stored on a hard disk? What is the logical order?
How do non-clustered indexes work?
This means that the data in the table are stored in a
This name is in my opinion a little bit confusing. The same concept in
Non-clustered indexes contain the value of the indexed columns along with the pointer to the record they are originated from.
The "clustered index" is the table itself; the "non-clustered" index is an ordered copy of some of the table's columns.
If you "create" a clustered index, the table is rearranged. That's why you cannot have more than one "clustered index" on a table: the table cannot be arranged in more than one order.
If you create a secondary index, the shadow copy of the table is created, holding the values of the indexed columns and the pointers to the records they are from. Whenever the table changes, the copy is changed too (the engine takes care of that automatically).
Non-clustered table
The table is not ordered.
Clustered table
The table is ordered on
Clustered table with a secondary index
The table is orderer on
For non-clustered indexes, a separate file is created, which hold just the index fields, which has it's records placed in the logical index order. For clustered index, there is no separate file -- the data from the table itself (all the fields) is placed in the logical order of the index.
This makes lookup on the index faster (though it's really best of indexes like dates where you'll be looking up a range). It also makes inserts rather slow in the record will be inserted in the middle.
It means that a clustered index determined the physical order in which records in a table are actually stored. Non-clustered indices are simply lists of key values stored separately that enable fast lookups in other orderings than the clustered/physical ordering.
Quick example: a table with
The nonclustered index would also store something like:
Clustered Index Storage
Clustered indexes fundamentally work the exact same way that all other indexes work -- they're stored inside a variant of a struture called a B-Tree. They're stored in the same files, with the same formats as all of your other tables in SQL Server.
The Concept
Step back and think of the data that you're indexing. (I want you to think of a book in this analogy). What if, in addition to having indexes at the end of the book, you also ordered the data inside the book as well? You could look up information much faster. Take, for example, a phone book where all of the data is ordered by last name and first name. You don't have to go to the back of the phone book to find someone's number. Contrast that with a history book, where you have to go to the index at the back of the book to find what you want.
So logically, a clustered index (or "index-organized table" in Oracle) is your data, but sorted. Physically, the leaf nodes of the B-tree contain all of your table's data, in sorted order. This is really helpful when you are scanning the data in your table on a contiguous range, such as a date range.
Another important thing about clustered indexes (in SQL Server at least) is that your clustering columns (that is, the columns that make up how you sort your clustered index) are included at the end of each nonclustered index you define on your table. This makes searching for your clustering columns very fast, and this is often very desirable in OLAP databases.
Nonclustered Indexes
Your table can only be stored in one physical order. But certain times you need to look up data in other ways. For these scenarios, you use a nonclustered index. This is implemented as a B-Tree as well, but it doesn't have any bearing on the order of your table's data, like a clustered index does. That means that if you want data from your table which is not included in your non-clustered index, SQL Server will have to physically look up the data in your table in order to get what you want. This is another operation, and for many queries can be costly, and is a key design consideration when you optimize your tables.
A word
You could write a book on this stuff. Many have. If I haven't bored you to death already, check out Wikipedia's B-Tree page. Start there. If you're still (really) interested, I suggest actually programming a simple B-Tree so you can see what's involved. And, if you want to know even deeper details on how exactly SQL Server stores all of this, check out Kalen Delaney's Inside SQL Server: The Storage Engine. Is all of this learning overkill? That's for you to decide. But the more you study this, the more comfortable you will be with DB development, and the faster your systems will become. I promise.
it means that the table is ordered as specified for the clustered index. Non clustered index are physically stored separately.
Primary indexes are not technically "clustered" indexes, though both cause a physical sort ordering to the data. The difference is apparent in their very names. A primary index deals with primary keys. Meaning, each primary key must be unique (otherwise it would not be a primary key). A clustering index deals with anything that is not a primary key and, by definition, may be allowed to be non-unique. This is where the word "cluster" comes from. If you sort data that is not primary, it means it can repeat. When repeated data appears together, it is considered a "cluster."

Ribbon of the Vietnam Staff Service Medal
The Vietnam Staff Service Medal (Tham Mưu Bội Tinh) was a military award of South Vietnam which was issued between the years of 1964 and 1973. The medal was awarded in two degrees and presented for exemplary service while performing military duty on the staff of a major Vietnamese military command.
To be awarded the Vietnam Staff Service Medal, a service member must have performed at least six months of military duty, while serving on a military staff, with such performance being above and beyond that which would normally be required for the position. The Vietnam Staff Service Medal was presented in two grades for such service with the first class grade for officers and the second class for enlisted personnel. The two different grades were annotated by border coloring on the medal's ribbon, the first class being green and the second class blue.
The Vietnam Staff Service Medal is an obsolete decoration since the awarding authority, the Republic of Vietnam, no longer exists. The medal is available through private purchase from military insignia dealers.

Like the Surrealists, Hartung was interested in automatic drawing – a process of freely improvised mark-making. His oil paintings were made more methodically by carefully enlarging marks from these small drawings. He believed that this was the only way to maintain their energy on a larger scale. The sweeping lines in this work reflect a turbulent sense of urgency, while Hartung's handling of charcoal, pastel and paint shows great delicacy.
