The rapid identification of hydrothermal vent-endemic larvae to the species level is a key limitation to understanding the dynamic processes that control the abundance and distribution of fauna in such a patchy and ephemeral environment. Many larval forms collected near vents, even those in groups such as gastropods that often form a morphologically distinct larval shell, have not been identified to species. We present a staged approach that combines morphological and molecular identification to optimize the capability, efficiency, and economy of identifying vent gastropod larvae from the northern East Pacific Rise (NEPR). With this approach, 15 new larval forms can be identified to species. A total of 33 of the 41 gastropod species inhabiting the NEPR, and 26 of the 27 gastropod species known to occur specifically in the 9° 50′ N region, can be identified to species. Morphological identification efforts are improved by new protoconch descriptions for Gorgoleptis spiralis, Lepetodrilus pustulosus, Nodopelta subnoda, and Echinopelta fistulosa. Even with these new morphological descriptions, the majority of lepetodrilids and peltospirids require molecular identification. Restriction fragment length polymorphism digests are presented as an economical method for identification of five species of Lepetodrilus and six species of peltospirids. The remaining unidentifiable specimens can be assigned to species by comparison to an expanded database of 18S ribosomal DNA. The broad utility of the staged approach was exemplified by the revelation of species-level variation in daily planktonic samples and the identification and characterization of egg capsules belonging to a conid gastropod Gymnobela sp. A. The improved molecular and morphological capabilities nearly double the number of species amenable to field studies of dispersal and population connectivity.

Sweet and touching.

Aw I'm so sad it's over! Every character is so cute in their own way. I'm gonna miss them. Your writing style flows so nicely and describes everything so well. I often found myself smiling as I was reading all the cute stuff that happened. Definitely checking out your other stories!

i... i just want to tell you how much i REALLY LOVE JONAS...OMG HE's SOOOOO CUTE. every time i read about jonas my mouth will "awww you're so cute"

| Guest chapter 30 . 12/7/2013
Sweet as cake! Good story.
| serwaverider chapter 16 . 11/19/2013
Another well written chapter, even though Oliver deserves a slow painful punishment. People who enjoy inflicting pain on other people, bdsm aside, are not well. People who deliberately interfere in other people's relationships definitely need to be take care of. Only good writing of these characters could get me so involved, and ANGRY. (Yes, I may have a few anger management issues lol)
| serwaverider chapter 7 . 11/19/2013
The confrontation was written very well, it felt very real, and I should know. Some people deserve second chances but not everyone. Very well done.
| serwaverider chapter 3 . 11/19/2013
Super funny, cute and adorable even, I love Seth. Jonas should get his number so he can get advice without the audience, yes I realize that this has been written a long time ago, just sayin'.
| Atenea217 chapter 4 . 11/2/2013
Awww your guys are all so cute!
| Remi chapter 30 . 10/1/2013
Woh! Who could have known that our characters would have such issues. Parental abandonment and foster care can really scar someone. Thankfully love can heal. A mother's love can make her realize how horrible her actions were, and I really enjoy the lenghts to which Jane is willing to go to create a real relationship with her son at last. I hope it is not to late for Dean as well, because his grief is genuine.
Your characters are really enjoyable, it is quite easy to relate to them. I especially enjoy Mitchell's effort to mend Taylor's self esteem. Way to go.
| Normac chapter 30 . 6/7/2013
Good work as usual :)
| A.Collins chapter 30 . 3/1/2013
This may be the pms' doing, but I teared up a bit from the endings of Cody and Jonas' story as well as Mitchell an Taylor's (whose story I wasn't as big a fan of as CJ). God, I can't believe it's done. It's one of those stories where you wish it would last forever, and that maybe the characters would just come to life. I don't think I can read another story for a bit, cause I'm still living in this one. I'm so happy-sad it's quite embarrassing.
| allancaldera chapter 29 . 2/13/2013
I really like it.
| LateNightTurtle chapter 30 . 1/31/2013
Ahh, such a cheesy ending, but that's just the way I like it. :'D Great story, both of them. (:

What is the correct way to customize a theme by overriding a particular rule?
I have edited style.css to override the rule .singular .entry-content {} to change the width to auto.
Is that the best way to do it? If I update the wordpress version, my copy of style.css will be over-written and I will lose my change.
I have edited style.css in the past for other reasons and keeping track of my edits can be troublesome.

A survivor was pulled out from under the rubble of the collapsed Rana Plaza building in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka on Friday afternoon, the 17th day since the collapse that left over 1,000 dead, Bangladeshi media reports said.
Internet newspaper bdnews.24.com reported that a woman identified by the Bangladesh Army only as Reshma was found after rescuers heard a feeble voice under the debris.
She was given food, water and oxygen before being pulled out safely and rushed to a military hospital, the report said.
Rescuers had earlier lost hope of finding anyone else alive in the wake of the country's worst-ever building collapse.
As of Friday, the April 24 collapse of the nine-storey commercial block has killed at least 1,033 people, mostly garment workers, and injured 2,400 others, according to the official toll.

I have an MVC 3 application with all texts in a SQL database. The texts has names and values for each language. I want to store the texts in cache object and somehow get them in my views and in my controllers based on some session variables.
My first solution has been to store an object TextHandler in the Cache. TextHandler has all texts and methods to help extracting texts by their name (as a string) and by some other values. I also have some controller methods and helpers to get texts from TextHandler based on session variables. I'm not satisfied by this solution.
I've found some guides for this, but what I really need are some pointers on how to do it and not actual code.

1. Recall, if you will, The Prince of Egypt.
Also known as one of the greatest achievements in feature-length animated cinema. Don't believe me? Consider the following:
2. It's written by Philip LaZebnik, also known as the writer for a lil' art house film called Pocahontas. He also wrote the screenplay for Mulan.
He's like the Shakespeare of diverse, important animated stories.
3. It was directed by Brenda Chapman, who went on to become the first woman to direct a feature-length Pixar film. That film was Brave.
Chapman co-directed The Prince of Egypt with Steve Hickman and Simon Wells.
4. The soundtrack was written by a little-known, small-town composer by the name of HANS ZIMMER.
Hans Zimmer has scored every film you have ever loved in your life.
5. And the songs/lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz, who also happened to write the books for three of the most accoladed musicals ever created in the history of sound.
6. The music includes some of the most beautiful songs ever gifted to humanity by the music gods, and includes songs like "Through Heaven's Eyes" and "When You Believe."
"When You Believe," by Stephen Schwartz and Babyface, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Because mediocrity is for suckers.
7. The Prince of Egypt tells the story of Moses, which is part of a compilation of short stories that make up the best-selling book on planet Earth.
"The book is so much better than the movie." —priests, probably
8. The voice cast includes Helen Mirren, Ralph Fiennes, Danny Glover, Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfeiffer — takes a deep breath — Steve Martin, Patrick Stewart, Martin Short, Jeff Goldblum, and Val Kilmer in a double role as Moses and also GOD.
Are you kidding me?
9. The animators were not even close to messing around when it came to making this movie. LOOK AT THIS SHOT. LOOK AT IT.
You didn't even think it was possible to make a building-sized shark look even cooler than usual, did you?
10. And the reason it looks so cool is because they weaved more than 1,180 computer-generated special effects sequences into their traditional animation.
At what other point in your life do you get to say the phrase "CGI hieroglyphic combo flashback-chase sequence"?
11. And check out the burning bush scene! Old Testament God hasn't looked this good on film in EVER.
12. Seriously this might be the most beautiful thing ever put on a screen.
::cries real tears at the beauty of it all::
14. So cancel whatever your plans were tonight and stay in. Watch the Prince of Egypt. Bask in the genius.
You won't regret it.
15. That's all.

At this point we will most likely be renting a car so that we can have some meals in town and drive ourselves to locations. I would also like a nice pool to relax in after a long day. Any Suggestions?

Urban Hero Holds On to Parking Spot for Eleven Years
He's been at the corner of Columbus Avenue and 68th Street this whole millennium.
Charles Mysak, a former lawyer and currently one of those guys who sells books on the sidewalk, has kept his '94 Honda Civic in the same Upper West Side parking spot for more than a decade. It costs him $36 a day, and technically it's a violation of traffic laws to hog a spot like that. Mysak has $470 in unpaid parking tickets, which might scare off a lesser man, but Mysak has principles. He believes that parking enforcement "is a conspiracy against the laity, going back to, you know, medieval times." Well, you've got to believe in something to keep a streak like his alive.

Fist of the North Star retains Japanese voices, says Koei
Tecmo Koei has said that Fist of the North Star will contain its Japanese voice-overs when released in Europe.
According to a Koei spokesperson speaking with Eurogamer, this is something fans were "begging" for, however it will still have a fully voiced English option for those who want it.
Announced in October last year, Fist of the North Star is a cross between the Japanese Manga with "no-holds-barred" Dynasty Warriors flair to it.
Previously slated for summer on PS3 and Xbox 360, it will now hit shelves in the fall.

We have a website that runs on multiple web servers. Those servers need to be in synchronization - program files and user uploaded data should be present on both servers. For now this is implemented having post commit hook to synchronize code files. And script doing synchronization in one minute intervals to keep user uploaded files in synchronization. This setup has some drawbacks and seems kinda a little bit like a kludge to me. There should be a better way, maybe someone can suggest something?
Syncing is quite tricky by nature. Instead, you could also make the servers access a shared storage. Turn one of the webservers (or another server) into an NFS server, and have the other servers mount the shared storage.
NFS is quite efficient and has locking to prevent conflicts. On a local network you'll have good performance, unless you have a large number of webservers.

Back from Haiti and I'd like to share the good news! Love Orphanage has successfully relocated to their new home. We visited them and spent time with the children. Aside from raising rent money, we also brought 8 suitcases filled with clothing, toiletries, toys, and school supplies. The children are so happy to be in their new home, which is nicer and in a better neighborhood. Thanks again for your support, this couldn't have happened without a team effort! We raised a total of $6173! So there is money left toward next years rent.I will be visiting Love Orphanage again in December 2013, so if you would like to contribute funds toward the ongoing needs of food, utilities, and supplies for the children, please keep it on your radar. Thanks again!! ~Ahaji Schreffler

|Team name history
Gewiss Playbus
Gewiss–Ballan was an Italian based road bicycle racing team active from 1993 to 1996, named after sponsor Italian Gewiss. The team was successful in the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France as well as several classic during the early 1990s.
The team was sponsored by the Mecair company and the Italian maker of garage doors Ballan in 1993. The Italian Electrical engineering company Gewiss took over as the main sponsor in 1994. Gewiss had previously sponsored the Bianchi cycling team from 1987 to 1989. In 1996 the second sponsor was taken by the Gewiss brand Playbus. Directeur sportifs with the team included Emanuele Bombini and Paolo Rosola. In the four years of its existence, the team achieved great successes.
The team produced winners of the Giro d'Italia – Evgeni Berzin and Ivan Gotti as well as top classic specialists Giorgio Furlan and Nicola Minali. Former World Champion Moreno Argentin finished his career with the team on a high note with stage wins at the 1993 Giro d'Italia as well as the impressive win at La Flèche Wallonne in 1994. The team dominated cycling during the 1994 season with Giorgio Furlan winning Tirreno–Adriatico (and Berzin second overall) and Furlan winning Milan–San Remo. Berzin then won Liège–Bastogne–Liège which was followed by Argentin's win in La Flèche Wallonne. The win in the Fleche Wallonne was impressive because the team completely dominated the race with taking all podium places at the race with Argentin, Furlan and Berzin ahead of many greats of cycling at the time including Claudio Chiappucci, Franco Ballerini, Davide Cassani and Gianni Bugno.[1]
After the Fleche Wallone of 1994, French sports newspaper L'Équipe interviewed the team's doctor Michele Ferrari. Journalist Jean-Michel Rouet asked Ferrari if his riders used EPO to which Ferrari denied prescribing the drug but said he would not find it wrong, saying that it was not dangerous and compared taking EPO to drinking orange juice. This remark generated controversy and Ferrari later stepped down as team doctor.[2]
Afterwards Berzin won the 1994 Giro d'Italia while Piotr Ugrumov came second overall in 1994 Tour de France. Vladislav Bobrik won the Giro di Lombardia in the late season for the team.
In the following year, the team was not as dominant but still successful. Berzin came second at the 1995 Giro d'Italia behind Tony Rominger and ahead of his teammate Ugrumov. The team set the record speed of the team time trial at the 1995 Tour de France of 54.930 km/h. This speed stood for ten years until Lance Armstrong's Discovery Channel Team broke it during the 2005 Tour de France.[3] The Gewiss team beat Laurent Jalabert's Team ONCE to second place and the defending champion Miguel Indurain's Banesto to third place. Riis would wear the maillot jaune in that year's Tour before eventually finishing third overall.
Systematic doping[edit]
The team is well known due to systematic doping that occurred with the team. The team doctor, Michele Ferrari was an assistant of Professor Francesco Conconi at the Biomedical Institute at the University of Ferrara in Italy. Conconi together with his assistants is said to have introduced Erythropoietin or EPO to the sport of cycling.[4]
On January 11, 1999 Danmarks Radio aired The Price of Silence in Denmark, the first of a three part series that detailed doping in cycling of the Team ONCE and Gewiss teams. The programme alleged that EPO was used by the Gewiss–Ballan team in 1995. The journalists had come into possession of papers of hematocrit levels of riders of the team which showed large fluctuations from normal levels to those indicating doping. These figures would later be published in L'Equipe (discussed below). In addition the documentary told of how during the Tour of Denmark on August 4, 1995, journalists made a doping find in a hotel room where the soigneur of Gewiss Paolo Ganzerli had slept the night before. Six riders of the team had also stayed in the hotel on that night of August 3, 1995. The journalists found a Gewiss bag filled with 12 used and bloodied needles, an ampule which according to its label contained Recomon 5000 (EPO) and three blank ampules of which subsequent tests revealed contained EPO.[5]
Further revelations about systematic doping on the team were published in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica and the French sport's paper L'Equipe in 1999. These were based on published writing from journalist Eugenio Capodacqua from the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica. Capodacqua published blood values (hematocrit levels) from Gewiss riders and results of an investigation into the team and its doctor Michele Ferrari.[6] On March 12, 1999 L'Equipe published a table of hematocrit levels of Gewiss riders that were taken from December 1994 to May 1995. This was before the UCI limit of a hematocrit level of 50% which came into effect in 1997. Bjarne Riis rode for the team at the time and his levels went from 41.1 to 56.3, Gotti from 40.7 to 57 and Berzin from 41.7 to 53. Ugrumov had the highest level at 60%. Riis immediately denied the validity of the figures.[6] Riis's hematocrit level of 41.1% in a test conducted on January 14, 1995 was a normal value for an adult male while six months later on July 10, 1995 several days after Riis wore the maillot jaune for the first time at the Tour de France, his level was 56.3%.
Another doctor of the team, Dr. Gianni Mazzoni, was in a separate case, accused of promoting doping in sports.[7]
Hematocrit variations 1994-1995[edit]
These are the published hematocrit variations (in percentage) of Gewiss riders in 1994 and 1995.[8] The following seven riders' hematocrit levels range from the first figure which was taken on December 15, 1994 to the second figure which was taken on May 24, 1995.
- Vladislav Bobrik (Rus) : 42.7 to 53
- Bruno Cenghialta (Ita): 37.2 to 54.5
- Francesco Frattini (Ita) : 46 to 54
- Giorgio Furlan (Ita) : 38.8 to 51
- Nicola Minali (Ita) : 41.7 to 54
- Piotr Ugrumov (Lat) : 32.8 to 60
- Alberto Volpi (Ita) : 38.5 to 52.6
On January 14, 1995 Evgeni Berzin recorded a level of 41.7% while on May 24, 1995 he recorded 53%. On January 14, 1995 Ivan Gotti recorded a level of 40.7% while on August 9, 1995 he recorded 57%. As discussed previously Bjarne Riis recorded a hematocrit level of 41.1% on January 14, 1995 while on July 10, 1995 he recorded 56.3%.

Hey all,
I've been trying to get MY Gravatar working so that when I post on my blog my picture comes up. At the moment, only other authors get their gravatar showing up
One thing for sure, it is not automatic in WordPress.
Hey all,
I've been trying to get MY Gravatar working so that when I post on my blog my picture comes up. At the moment, only other authors get their gravatar showing up
One thing for sure, it is not automatic in WordPress.
I can see that my gravatar is showing up in this post. That's the proof it is working.
I want the same but in my blog
Does the ID you use in your blog have the same email address as here?
Hi There,
Where am I supposed to find that ID?
What ID/username do you use to log in to your blog?
Your ID here is fireworkszone.
I am using 'admin'
Okay, so does 'admin' on your blog have the same email address as 'fireworkszone' has here?
No they are different. How can I modify my username to fireworkszone?
Ipstenu is right, you need to use the same email address that you are using for your Gravatar. Go to your site's admin dashboard --> Users, and update your profile email address to match the one you are using for your Gravatar account.
Hi Buddha,
It works great. It is a hidden feature not easy to find without help. Thanks very much.
To fix the Gravatar problem, as buddha trance said, change your EMAIL for Admin to match the one you use here.
Alternately, you can go to gravatar and add in the email used there to your account. I have three addresses on one gravatar account and they all use the same gravatar. Works nicely.
As for changing the username of your admin on you own blog, you can't, but you CAN change your Nickname , which will let you appear as whomever you want :)
I was too optimistic. Check that post where I made 2 comments and my avatar doesn't show up.
It must be a piece of code I forgot.
I tried to leave a comment on that page to test if my own gravatar would display. It doesn't. There must be something with the theme you are using.
Do you have another post where gravatars are being displayed with this theme?
Do you have Gravatars turned on for your blog?
I made it! You can see the result:
with Buddha and my avatars
That's great! Of course, you can delete my test comment, now that all is working fine. Did you have to turn on Gravatars, as Ipstenu suggested? Most likely, since my initial test did not display it at all and it wasn't an email address issue.
It's good to know, so it may help others in the future. :-)

You can try enabling Screen Sharing (in the "Sharing" preference pane of the System Preferences app) on your Mac. This will start a VNC server on your local machine. You could then install a VNC Client on your iPad (Mocha Lite is a free one) and view/interact with your applications.

The records of 148 consecutive patients with Ann Arbor stage I and II large-cell lymphoma treated with primary radiation therapy with or without adjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively for pretreatment prognostic variables and results of treatment. For patients treated with radiation to fields on one side of the diaphragm, the 5-year freedom-from-relapse rate was 25% and the survival rate was 35%, but for those given additional transdiaphragmatic radiation or for those given radiation plus adjuvant chemotherapy, the rates were both approximately 67%. In a multivariate analysis, the only significant pretreatment prognostic variables were the number of sites of involvement and bulk of disease, with relapse as the endpoint. For patients treated with radiation to both sides of the diaphragm or with radiation plus adjuvant chemotherapy, the 5-year freedom-from-relapse rate was 82% for the group with a favorable prognosis (with less than three sites of involvement and a mass size of less than 10 cm) and 55% for those with an unfavorable prognosis.

- By date
UncutApr 28, 2014An entirely ravishing aesthetic experience. [Jun 2014, p.76]
Apr 28, 2014The loving layers of static, submerged guitar progressions, and effortless meshes of naturalistic themes and glitchy processing all play into a language of sound distinct to Fennesz and reaching some of their clearest articulations here.
Apr 28, 2014With Bécs, Fennesz achieves the near-impossible, crafting a musical sequel that retains the energy, vision and flow of its predecessor.
MojoJul 24, 2014The soundtrack to blissful bucolic afternoons threatened by the black clouds of the coming apocalypse. [Jul 2014, p.95]
The WireJul 17, 2014Becs is something of a return, then, but equally it demonstrates that the guitarist's approach to pop composition has developed considerably over the past 13 years. [May 2014, p.83]
Jun 24, 2014It captivates and betrays the listener who, unaware of the deceitful plan, falls victim of the most heinous crime in art: representation through deconstruction.
Jun 4, 2014Musically, it's painfully simple; sonically, it's painfully complex.
May 6, 2014Bécs is seldom unapproachable; it's also his style to leave just enough beauty poking through the seams.
Apr 29, 2014At points, listening to Bécs is to hear gauze become gossamer, and feel it too.
Apr 30, 2014The relative warmth and light here gives the music a nostalgic cast, which was at the heart of what made Endless Summer so memorable, but Bécs also possesses an added layer that doesn't necessarily work in its favor. Fennesz once illuminated the beauty of a digitally scrambled memory, but Bécs is a memory of a digitally scrambled memory.
Apr 28, 2014There aren't many artists who can deconstruct and rebuild such interesting tracks equally based on both disturbing and exquisite soundscapes, yet Fennesz continues his winning streak.

It is mostly made of sharp harsh sounds that have been smoothed over during production. The most colourful and pretty track of the album is the title track, Bécs. It is similarly harsh, though, it has a nicer chord progression that adds more character to it. I probably wouldn't bother telling anyone about this album unless someone was looking for something unusual that's not typical to their taste. Kinda dystopian sounding.… Full Review »

How impeccable the food is goes without saying.... But the staff was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy! The gluten free bread was the best I have ever had and the sliders, for which they made a gluten free version of for me, were jaw dropping! Imore
Excellent steaks. The Japanese cuts are spectacular. I didn't care for the Australian cuts as much as I did the U.S. and UK cuts. Wolfgang picked a winner here for sure.more
I unexpectedly ended up here for coffee and ended up staying for lunch and drinks. For lunch I went for burger sliders (yummy!) and spring rolls also looked great. I must admit that the cocktails were excellent and I really enjoyed the Kiss cocktail (i think that is what it was called) and then the other one was with jasmine tea infused vodka - it was great (and I love a good cocktail).

"Interesting Place" Kuala Lumpur by stappm
Kuala Lumpur Travel Guide: 6,429 reviews and 15,156 photos
I stopped here on route to Phuket, Thailand. And everyone I met in Singapore was excited for me to go to KL. I took a bus from Singapore to KL (buses are inexpensive and nice, coach style, some even have beverage service and movies and you get to see the countryside) And takes about as long as flying would. Anyway, i am glad I did it. However, I was THE ONLY westerner on the bus, and the only one at the mid-ride bus depot. Since Malaysia is mostly muslim, most all women cover thier hair - and being the tall California blonde I am, I stuck out like a sore thumb. Even though i was very modestly dressed, I would have felt better/more inconspicuous in a baseball cap. People stared, both men and women, and at least in a baseball cap you don't have to look at them looking at you...
I was lurred to the Battu Caves by a Taxi driver, I really wanted to go to Masjd India - and we stopped here in route (a little out of the way, needless to say) LOL. I was glad I saw it - I probably would not have gone on my own accord.......
The shopping in KL is GREAT especially for Pashima's and scarves (Little India). You can get some that are beautifully beaded, great over evening attire! Also great buy in KL are perscription glasses, I bought some in KL Plaza (across the street from the regent) that came out to about $100 a pair (Gucci and Dior - not sure if they are fakes?!@#)

lovely page! Nikos
the description of Kuala Lumpur arrises curiosity and interest. thanks for bothering telling us all details. I liked most the 5 star hotel. hooooo I love them!
Thank you for you birthday wishes. Good that you managed to get rid of those dodgy people. Informative pages on K.L.
I'm surprise to read about your dodgy people / dodge agressive men in KL. To tell you the truth, I'd never heard of anything like b4. And being stared at in the bus? Hm... something new to me too. Got me thinking...
Hi. How was the Concorde hotel situated in KL in terms of local transport, shopping etc... thanks
Thks for visiting my pages. Hope to see more KL tips coming.
Great tips...especially that warning, as I have to agree that it sounds creepy!
Hahaha !!! Oh dear .. I had same experience with the hotel guy over in Hanoi ... gigolo services NOT welcomed !!

I learned somewhere that when you are learning, if you are going to read an entire pasuk without interruption you can say Hashem's name, however if you are going to only say part of the pasuk (for example you will interrupt to read Rashi) you should not say Hashem's name. Does anyone have any idea where this came from?

On the defensive line, seniors Cameron Hyer and Bridger Santore will start at tackle, where they'll be backed up by junior Spencer Davis.
The defensive ends are junior Mason Ewing, a returning starter, and senior Jacob Shaw, with freshman Taylor Katoa backing them up.
At linebacker, junior Armstrong will start along with senior Hayden Langston, with sophomore Keoni Larson providing depth along with Banks. Unfortunately, the Lancers lost senior Farid Cortez, who would have started this season at linebacker, with a serious knee injury during preseason conditioning.
The defensive backfield features Keck, Astle, Cannon, Clayton and Blackmon at cornerback, while the safeties will be Jaramillo, Marriott and juniors Steel Roberts and Parker Williams.
Christian Cook, a junior, will handle the place-kicking chores, with Banks handling the punting.
Coach Batchelor likes this group a lot and says his starters could compete with just about any other team in the state. However, without great numbers on their roster, a lack of depth could become a problem for the Lancers if anyone goes down with an injury.
"It's a depth thing with us," Batchelor said. "Our starters are comparable with anybody in the state, but sometimes when you get a guy hurt, especially if he's a two-way kid, our drop-off on our backups sometimes is a little bit more than it is at some schools."
And, as for the Region 1 chase for the state playoffs, Batchelor said "it'll be a battlefield, like it always is."
He said Syracuse is definitely the team to beat in this league, with Northridge and Davis again being contenders and Weber High being much-improved.
But the Lancers have their sights set on climbing the league ladder and reaching the state playoffs this year. And after getting a sampler-size taste of postseason play last year, Layton High hopes to order the full-meal deal in the postseason this time around.
Layton Lancers at a glance
Coach: Jim Batchelor begins his ninth season as head coach at his alma mater, and he has guided the Lancers a 43-46 overall record at the school. In 2007, he guided Layton to a berth in the 5A championship game.
(6 returning starters; spread offense)
With Hunter Evans starting at quarterback for the third year, the Lancers' experience level is high. Throw in four more senior returning starters on the offensive line — center Brandon Nieto, guard Landon Brown, and tackles Zerek Olson and Stetson Wood — and you can see why Batchelor might enjoy serving as the team's offensive coordinator this season. With a solid receiving corps led by senior slotback and returning starter Jordan Jaramillo, Layton should not have any trouble putting points on the scoreboard this year.
(5 returning starters; 4-3-4)
Junior defensive end Mason Ewing started as a sophomore last season, and junior Atlas Armstrong aims to live up to his strongman name at linebacker. With plenty of experience in the defensive backfield, the Lancers are hoping they can improve over the unit that allowed more than 27 points per game last year.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Creative Suite 5) offers something inspiring for just about all users, from artists and technical illustrators to web and Flash designers.
New features such as variable width strokes, Bristle Brush, Perspective Grid, anti-aliasing text for the web, Flash Catalyst integration, and better performance make Adobe Illustrator CS5 a compelling upgrade.
But Adobe Illustrator CS5 is far from perfect. The Perspective Grid feature feels half-finished, text anti-aliasing doesn't work without a second, secret option, and many requested features were ignored. See our Adobe Creative Suite 5 review.
Adobe Illustrator CS5: Stroke revival
Among the most noticeable improvements in Adobe Illustrator CS5 are those applied to the painting system. These include variable-width strokes, stretch control for brushes, brush corner control, enhanced dashed lines and arrowheads, and a new tool, the Bristle Brush.
First among the new features in Adobe Illustrator CS5 is the ability to vary the weight or thickness of strokes from start to finish. To make use of this new feature, begin by creating a path - open or closed - and assigning a stroke colour to that path. With the new Width tool selected, hovering over any place in the path's stroke presents a small diamond that can be dragged outward to increase the width of the stroke at that point, or inward to decrease the thickness. The new thickness will taper down (or up) toward the ends of the path or the next corner anchor points, which will retain the path's original thickness.
Each stroke may also have multiple width points, enabling subtle or dramatic oscillation of a single stroke. Thus using Adobe Illustrator CS5 it's simple to create robust, variable weight strokes with a natural, not stuttering feel. You can even save stroke width alterations as profiles that can be applied from the Stroke panel to other paths. One complaint with the variable-width stroke ability is that isn't applicable to brush strokes, just plain old path strokes. Plus, if you apply a brush stroke to a path, the variable-width disappears.
Brushes did get some serious love in Adobe Illustrator CS5, though. Art and pattern brushes have long suffered with the handicap of being equally distributed along their paths. Now you can define which parts of a brush get stretched and which don't. For example, with a banner brush, not only the middle of the brush would stretch to fit a long path; the decorative ends would also stretch, suffering unsightly distortion. In the Brush Options dialog, you can now specify that the ends of a banner (or other) brush don't stretch, that they remain the same no matter how far the middle section of the brush art or pattern stretches to fill the path between the protected ends.
A new Bristle Brush tip mimics natural media painting while remaining vector. Creating a new Bristle Brush lets you begin with either round or flat brushes in one of five styles each - point, blunt, curve, angle, or fan. From there the brush can be completely refined with options for bristle length, density, and thickness, paint opacity, and stiffness. The results of painting with Bristle Brush brushes are astoundingly natural. Adobe Illustrator CS5 won't yet replace Corel Painter for lifelike, natural media painting, but then again, Painter doesn't paint in vector.
Brush cornering is also greatly improved in this version. In places where pattern brushes round corners or wide angles, or where path segments of different lengths meet (for instance, in a rectangle with long and short sides), how the brush pattern traverses or joins at those points can be precisely controlled to avoid awkward collisions or empty space.
Similar refinements were added to dashed lines to enable them to look better, to avoid stuttering at path angle changes or where path segments of different lengths meet. Precision scaling of arrowheads that were formerly locked into sizes proportionate to stroke weight completes the refinements of strokes and brushes.
Adobe Illustrator CS5: web and application design
Those who design for the web or Flash Platform application user interfaces will be pleased by Adobe Illustrator CS5's new features.
Many web and interface designers felt that earlier versions of Adobe Illustrator CS5 weren't fit for making web graphics that include text because of its lack of anti-aliasing support. Illustrator CS5 has adopted Photoshop's celebrated text anti-aliasing system. Now you can optimise the rasterisation of type destined for the web or mobile devices by setting its anti-aliasing to be Sharp, Crisp, Strong, or not anti-aliased. Unfortunately, it doesn't work - at least, not by default.
In order to make the text anti-aliasing you've chosen from the bottom of the Character panel work, you'll have to take the extra step of going to the Image Size panel in the Save for Web & Devices dialog and changing the unlabeled drop-down menu at the bottom to the Type Optimized option.
Flash Platform developers using Flash, Flash Builder, Flex, or Flash Catalyst will also find Adobe Illustrator CS5 a compelling upgrade. The program can now save directly to Flex in the FXG format, and includes support for roundtrip editing with the new designer-centric Flash Catalyst CS5.
Begin by designing your user interface - the entire thing or just an element or two - in Adobe Illustrator CS5 and open that file in Flash Catalyst to add interactivity. Even after adding components and actions in Flash Catalyst, you can return the design to Illustrator for further tweaking without losing your work from Flash Catalyst.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Creative Suite 5) offers something inspiring for just about all users, from artists and technical illustrators to web and Flash designers. See our Adobe Creative Suite 5 review.
Adobe Illustrator CS5: Perspective drawing
Technical or casual illustrators will either love or hate Illustrator's new perspective drawing feature. Switching to the new Perspective Grid tool converts your flat artboard into a simulated three-dimensional space complete with planes and vanishing points dwindling away onto the horizon. From there, you're drawing in perspective. Grab the Rectangle tool and click and drag on the active surface of the Perspective Grid and you'll draw a rectangle that rides on that surface, growing smaller as the shape moves away from you toward the horizon. Entire scenes can be drawn or rendered with realistic perspective.
The Perspective Grid can be controlled with great precision. For instance you can dynamically adjust the position of the vertical panes, raise or lower the ground level, and even switch between one-, two-, and three-point perspectives.
Unfortunately, Perspective Grid contains a number of profound deficiencies. You can't type onto the Perspective Grid. Instead, you have to first create a type object off the grid, and then move it to the grid with the Perspective Selection tool. You can move any non-perspective object onto the grid this way, but the results don't always match the perspective of objects drawn directly on the grid. And, once text is on the Perspective Grid, resizing it causes the text to be converted to outlines. Worse is that object appearances are not drawn in perspective. Draw a rectangle with a 20-point stroke on the Perspective Grid and you'll have a 20-point stroke all the way around; the stroke won't appear to get smaller as the path moves away from your view, toward the horizon. You'll get the same perspective clashing results with offset fills, drop shadows, and any other appearance attribute.
Adobe Illustrator CS5: Other enhancements
Illustrator includes a slew of smaller but highly utilitarian new and newly refined features. The new Shape Builder tool - sort of a marriage between the Pathfinder commands and converting shapes to a Live Paint object - offers a more intuitive way to combine, divide, and control pieces of overlapping elements. Other Adobe Illustrator CS5 perks include new modes to draw behind or inside objects, the ability to select objects behind the current object, better path joining, 9-slice scaling of symbols (a kind of intelligent scaling), and resolution-independent effects.
For those who have long asked, "Why must the Y (vertical) axis begin at the bottom of the artboard," you'll be pleased to know that Adobe Illustrator CS5 finally matches the rest of the Creative Suite in putting its default ruler origin - the X and Y zero point - in the top-left instead of the old bottom-left methodology.
CS Live services, which are integrated throughout the Creative Suite, include: CS Live, a panel of shortcuts to Adobe's offering of software as a service tools like Acrobat.com and Adobe BrowserLab; CS Review, an interface that builds on Acrobat.com to enable client or team project review; and CS News and Resources, a panel linking to helpful Illustrator how-tos and other resources. These services are free for a year after installation, and subsequent subscription fees have yet to be announced.
One of the main selling points of Adobe Illustrator CS5 is its speed. For example, when applying a memory-intensive, very complex 3D Extrude & Bevel effect to live text, CS4 took 20 seconds to build the final render while CS5 required a mere four seconds. Results of other timed tests with system-intensive tasks were comparable. Illustrator CS5 is much snappier than CS4, and that translates directly into increased productivity.
Adobe Illustrator CS5: Still not fixed
A few things we would like to have seen in the release of Adobe Illustrator CS5 went untouched by Adobe. For instance, gradient swatches do not save gradient angle and placement. Similarly, copying a gradient from one object to another using the Eyedropper tool resets the gradient to the default angle and placement. That can be frustrating, as can working with 3D Extrude & Bevel because Adobe seems incapable of improving that feature to eliminate the frequent occurrence of self-intersections.
The blending modes in Adobe Illustrator CS5 still have not been updated to match the more fully featured set introduced in Photoshop CS2 (Vivid Light, Color Dodge, and others). For years users have been asking for enhancements to long-standing Illustrator features like blending, charts and graphs, 3D effects, and others, but CS5 once again ignores those requested refinements.

Despite long-hoped-for enhancements that have not been delivered, the new features and updates that are included in Adobe Illustrator CS5 are so compelling we're unable to say anything short of this: Illustrator CS5 is a great buy. Even if you have no need of all the new features - and we can't see anyone not benefiting from at least one of them - the zippier performance alone will pay back the cost of the upgrade in time that you don't have to wait for Illustrator to complete tasks.

HTC: We can't meet our 90-day deadline for Android Lollipop
When Android Lollipop hit AOSP, HTC was quick to announce they'd be updating their handsets within 90 days. In fact, they were the first OEM to give themselves a deadline for Lollipop, saying "We have the Android Lollipop code. We'll be updating the HTC One (M8) & (M7) within 90 days form today." That was November 3. As February draws near, fans have undoubtedly been wondering when HTC would update their handset. HTC now says they won't meet their self-imposed deadline, and offer no new deadline for Lollipop.

Quaker 25% Less Sugar Granola Bars
(The two best flavor choices, in my opinion, are Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip.)
Serving size: Individually wrapped bars (24 grams each).
Pluses: Both of these flavors contribute 3 grams of fiber and 10% of the Daily Value for calcium per bar. They have a very kid-friendly flavor and texture.
Minuses: These bars definitely have less sugar than other chewy granola bars, but they still have 20% calories from sugar.
