Date of Stay: June 3, 2011 Review Submitted: June 24, 2011
We had a wonderful time. The home is unique and beautiful; large, yet cozy. All the extras made our stay more than we could have hoped: kayaks; bikes; play areas for the kids; places to gather and places to relax in solitude; little things like salt, sugar, oil, dish soap, laundry detergent (you know -- the stuff you always need but forget to bring). My favorite part was sitting on the upper deck at night listening to the roar of the ocean. We would definitely stay again and recommend this house to our family and friends. The owners couldn't have been nicer, easier to work with, or more welcoming.

This home was perfect for our family of five (mom, dad, grandparents and 10-month old). The home was simply beautiful and looked just as portrayed in the pictures here. We had everything we needed to vacation for a week with one very curious baby. Mark and Elaine were accommodating, providing us with all the baby gear as listed here. The kitchen is well stocked with all sorts of cooking and eating utensils and appliances. This place was a home away from home. Though it rained for 4 of the 7 days we were there, we were able to find much to do around the house (fishing, movies, games, crabbing, making quick runs to the beach, etc). We visited the Virginia Beach Aquarium and actually saw dolphins while walking on the beach one day! The She Crab soup at Margie and Rays is a must have!! All in all, a very relaxing, memorable vacation.

Our three families (three couples, an infant and a thrre year-old) throroughly enjoyed the spacious, modern house designed and equiopped for families with children. Sleeping arrangements were quite comfortable with current furnishings and cable TV in each of the bedrooms. Kithchen, decks, and dining areas accomodated us easily along with a large lawn in the backyard with a wooden "jungle gym" that extended to the dock, canal and kayaks. Convenient access to the beach (5min) and Back Bay (5min via kayak), the immaculate condition of the house and yard, and the congeniality of the owners contributed to a woderful Sandbridge week. We would not hesitate to rent this property again!

Our family very much enjoyed this home. It was very clean and we had lots of space. There were many extras that made our stay that much more enjoyable. We loved the location. The kayaks and bikes were great and we used them almost every day. The owners were very helpful if we had any questions and helped us quickly learn our way around the area. We would recommend this to any family looking for a quiet comfortable vacation.

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful vacation home with our 2.5 year old son. He was so excited by all of the kid-friendly amenties, he actually squealed when he saw the sandbox, wagons, and outdoor playset and couldn't believe his eyes to find the "surprise" playhouse on the deck as well. The home was very well equipped and spotless-a true home away from home. The owners Mark and Elaine were super helpful with restaurant and activity suggestions and made us feel like out of town family in for a visit rather than strangers. The beach was a short walk away and there was plenty to do and see nearby. We especially enjoyed the aquarium and the beautiful wide clean beaches. We would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends and plan to return ourselves in the future!

The house was perfect for us with young kids. Short walk to the beach. The free use of kayaks was great, especially for us how have never gone kayaking before...without the hassle of renting one. We enjoyed biking around the neighborhood..again with the bikes provided. The kids were thrilled when they caught some crabs. The house had everything you could ever need for a hassle and stress free family vacation. Lastly, the house was very clean, which, was very important to us. Thank You!

Our vacation included three couples, two teenage boys and two children under 6 years of age. The house and property were immaculate and the size of the house meant that there was sufficient privacy for everyone in our party. As luck would have it our visit coincided with a heat wave that hit the region the week of our stay. It hit 104F a couple of days but that's summer weather for you. We went to Sandbridge beach several times during our stay and saw dolphins each and every time. We even went one evening and watched them school a bunch of fish that they would take turns diving through to eat. Talk about excitement in the water. When we ate out we went to Margie and Ray's and Primo's Pizza, both were excellent. We found the owners to be very hands on in ensuring that our trip was a pleasant one. This included pre-trip communications, visits at the house while we were there and even post visit communication. Thanks Mark and Elaine. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others as a great family get away for a summer vacation.

Great Escape for both adult and kids

Date of Stay: June 26, 2010 Review Submitted: July 27, 2010
This was the perfect beach house for my extended family. I looked at many houses and kept returning to this beautiful home. I am so glad that we were able to stay here, it was exactly as described. We were a fair size group and there was plenty of space for everyone whether they wanted to watch TV, visit, or have a little bit of peace and quiet. The kids loved the backyard with the great playset and even enough room for a couple crazy games of T-ball. It is especially wonderful for families with small children - we walked to the beach in the morning, came back for lunch, and the older kids could play outside while the younger ones took a nap inside. The location was perfect - Sandbridge's beaches were clean and uncrowded - there were wonderful restaurants like Margie and Rays and Primo's Pizza (thank you to the owners for the recommendations) right in the area - and an easy drive to both the Aquarium and the Boardwalk. I just wanted to take a second to address the fact that there are no linens provided - we have stayed at other rental homes and were never given a choice to bring our own linens they just tacked on the added charge. We were able to save this expense by simply providing our own sheets and towels. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to any of my friends or family. I also want to take this opportunity thank the owners for all of their help both once we got there and leading up to our vacation - they definitely added to our wonderful stay - Thank you!

WordPress version: 3,5
WordPress SEO version: 22.214.171.124
I did this: updated WordPress to the last version (3.5). Everything was working perfectly before the update.
My main problem is that the title of my home page is not rewritten properly. It displays "Blog - eduPad" instead of "Education apps for tablets and smartphones - eduPad"
This problem disappears when I uncheck the option "Force rewrite titles" in WordPress SEO settings. However, when I uncheck this option, my sitename is duplicated at the end of every title. For exemple, I get "Contact us | eduPadeduPad" instead of "Contact us | eduPad".
Is there a way to fix this?

Prince Caspian
by C.S. Lewis
Prince Caspian Theme of Warfare
War! What is it good for? Absolutely depends on whom you ask. Scholar Michael Ward reads Prince Caspian as a story centered on war and martial law. It's all about the need to fight rather than "allowing aggressors to have their way." To balance this, he argues that Lewis included chivalry to "[impose] restraints on the practice of war so as to avoid unnecessary (that is cruel) violence" (source). Then again, David Holbrook reads a novel where "the trouble is that excited delight in violence is combined with a tone of endorsing it as all jolly good fun, and then endorsed by [a] solemn didactic message, urging that this is the way to the Kingdom of Heaven" (source). Ultimately, we'll say this: war is undeniably an important theme in Prince Caspian, but whether or not that's a positive thing will depend on the reader.
Questions About Warfare
- What do you think about Prince Caspian's tone by way of the war theme? Too hot, too cold, or a Goldilocks-approved just right?
- Which character do you think is the most war-centered character, and how do they affect your reading of the theme? You can pick from either side of the conflict, so long as you explain your choose with evidence from the book.
- Check out our "Principles" theme. How do you see the principles promoted by the novel interacting with the theme of war?
- How do you see the ending connecting to the novel's understanding of war?
Chew on This
Caspian's war with the Telmarines is an example of a holy war. Its main goal is to change the religious standard of Narnia.
Alternatively, we could look at Caspian's camp as a group of environmental terrorists done Narnia-style.

The impact of Berkeley research on the practical end of computer science has been significant. During the 1970's theoretical research led by Professors R. A. Karp and S. A. Cook established fundamental concepts and limits of computational complexity. Former student Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple Computer with Steve Jobs. Berkeley faculty and students, obtained source code and rights to the early Bell Labs UNIX operating system, added networking features and virtual memory support for the DEC VAX. The work on computer-aided design broke new ground with demonstrations of design synthesis from logic specifications, producing chip designs that are correct by construction. Yet there also were many new activities and achievements, such as its organization Women In Computer Science & Electrical Engineering. WICSE is an organization for all women graduate students in Computer Science at the University of California in Berkeley, which includes a big-sister program.

A.M. Vitals: Ranbaxy Launches Generic Lipitor in U.S.
Generic Lipitor Approval: Indian drug company Ranbaxy, a unit of Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, has received FDA approval for its generic version of Pfizer's Lipitor, the WSJ reports. (Ranbaxy will share profits from the drug during the first 180 days with Teva, according to the company.) The FDA says Ranbaxy's atorvastatin calcium tablets will be manufactured by Ohm Laboratories in New Jersey. Meantime, Watson Pharmaceuticals yesterday began selling a version of generic Lipitor authorized by, and in partnership with, Pfizer.
Counseling About Weight Loss: Medicare's decision to cover screening and counseling for weight loss is being hailed as positive news for obese Americans, but experts are also warning that physicians and other health-care providers lack training and time to help patients with weight loss, USA Today reports. One physician tells the paper he thinks weight-loss counseling could be delivered via the telephone and Internet to save money, and hopes Medicare will consider reimbursing for that option.
Quorn Controversy: The Center for Science in the Public Interest is warning consumers about the rare possibility of severe allergic reactions to Quorn, a meat substitute made from a fermented fungus mixed with other ingredients, and has asked the FDA to remove the product from the market, the WSJ reports. CSPI cites 500 complaints about the food that it's received in the U.S. over the last decade; the FDA says it's received only seven over seven years and that it hasn't been able to confirm that life-threatening allergic reactions were involved. The manufacturer says that "one [person] in between 100,000 and 200,000 may have a sensitivity" to Quorn.
NYC Recommendations for HIV Patients: New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley says people infected with HIV should be offered antiretroviral drugs at the time of diagnosis rather than waiting until the virus takes its toll on the immune system, the Associated Press reports. Experts told the AP the science backs up Farley's recommendation, but that the high cost of the drugs remains a potential obstacle. Other issues include side effects of the drugs and the worry that patients who start the medications but don't take them consistently can develop resistance, the AP says.

I have been the only student showing up for class once. At that occasion, it was perfect because I really needed to discuss my upcoming shodan test - so we skipped the class, to talk instead. Don't remember who suggested it first.
I have taught classes with a single student - not so many times, maybe half a dozen times. I saw two very different reactions in the student:
1) Wow! Private lesson.
2) I really, really hate to get this much attention, with the instructor looking at me and talking to me all the time. (This despite the fact that I really tried not to overteach, but to mainly train with the student and not comment on everything he or she did).
If you have seen version 2 a few times, then maybe you prefer to cancel the class. I would think, though, that a student with this attitude is a probable dropout anyway, while the "wow! private lesson" is someone who will stay, at least for a while. I wouldn't talk about "ethics", well maybe if there is any amount of money involved as others already have pointed out. It seems to me that the teacher who cancels a class where he has one eager student, does not care much about his students. If you & the teacher agree to do something else together, that's fine but I would feel really lousy having spent my time travelling to class if it just was cancelled. If that happened repeatedly, I would quit showing up myself and if possible find someplace else to train.
I must strongly disgree with Larry Murrel. I find it extremely worth while to feel my teachers techniques, not just watch them. I really like being one of three students on the mat, and having the teacher training with the students.

WHAT: TripGems.com is an online home for storing your memorable travel locations and sharing your favorite global secrets with others.
HITS: It's a tool that encourages users to share their destination hot spots -- whether it's a great restaurant, park, museum or other attraction. When you "add a place," it lets you search by location, then asks you to write a short comment about why you like it. Click on "Popular Places" -- such as Amsterdam, New York or Auckland, New Zealand -- to see how a city looks. As the content grows, I hope it will add categories for quick links to hotels and restaurants.
MISSES: It's a new site, so there weren't many gems in U.S. cities I was interested in. From a user perspective, I needed an easier path to loading photos. You can sign in by connecting through Facebook, but I didn't see a way to add photos quickly. I had to upload them first from my desktop. Ugh.

Phantom Development
Solid phantoms
We have built a wide range of solid phantoms based on an epoxy resin. These can be cast into a wide range of shapes and sizes from cylinders to realistic body shapes (Figure 1) [1, 2].
These phantoms have been widely used for studies to test instrumentation advances and to predict the image quality we might be able to expect prior to clinical imaging of the head and breast.
Liquid phantoms
For imaging the difference between two states, it is important that the coupling between the optical fibres and the object being imaged does not change. For experiments such as these, we often use hollow solid phantoms, filled with either liquid resin or a mixture intralipid with water. Intralipid is an inttravenous nutrient which contains fat suspended in water. When diluted appropriately, its optical scattering properties are close to tissue-equivalent and optical absorption can be modified by the addition of dye. Liquid resin (the same epoxy resin as described above, but without hardener) can be used as this gives constant refractive index between the solid resin outer case of the phantom and the liquid centre, but it is more difficult to work with.
Gel phantoms
For some applications, particularly simulating optical mammography where the breast need to be gently compressed, we have developed a gel phantom which has tissue-equivalent optical, x-ray and elastic properties [3]. The recipe is based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) slime, a viscoelastic
fluid which readily deforms under moderate pressure. Scattering
particles and absorbing compounds can be added to provide a uniform
material with stable and reproducible optical properties. A linear
relationship between the concentration of scattering particles (either
titanium dioxide or microspheres) and the transport scatter coefficient
is demonstrated. Phantoms of an arbitrary size and shape may be
produced by containing the slime within a thin latex shell, and a
stability over a period of at least 3 months has been established.
Multimodality phantoms
Multimodality phantoms can be made by adding a contrast agent which is optically clear but provides contrast for the complementary modality. For example, we have used copper sulphate to provide MR contrast and various additives for x-ray contrast.

I just grabbed the latest snapshot from kernel.org with git,
successfully patched it with the UDF 2.5 patch as I want my HD DVD drive
to be readable and I was wondering if someone could step me through
compiling it, and getting the initrd right and grub.
I used make menuconfig, but did not use make mrproper first. Should I
have done that?
I also succeeded with make install (seemingly, though I did not make
rpms), but mkinitrd used some strange volume identifier, so the boot
fails when it looks for that odd volume. It is as if I was supposed to
specify something during mkinitrd but didn't do so.
Grub got updated right though, and the new kernel stanza is there and a
failsafe selection. My old kernel selection works, but the new one fails
after it loads vmlinuz, etc.

THE HAGUE: The Dutch government said yesterday it wants to strip jihadists who go to fight in Syria or Iraq of their passports, even if they have not been convicted of a crime.
The move came amid growing fears that Western fighters who joined the Islamic State (IS) and other extremist groups in the Middle East will return home to carry out attacks.
"The law will be toughened with the aim of withdrawing Dutch nationality from jihadists who have joined an armed terrorist group, even without a criminal conviction," the government said in a summary of a letter to parliament from Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten.
The action could however only be taken against Dutch citizens with dual nationality, as "no one should be left stateless", the government said.
Many Dutch Muslims from immigrant families have dual nationality, particularly Moroccan. "Taking away Dutch nationality means these people are no longer welcome in this country, that they cannot return," Opstelten told journalists in The Hague.
"I will submit the draft law this afternoon," he said.
Announcing a national action plan to prevent Dutch citizens travelling abroad to wage jihad and to deal with them on their return, the government said anyone "trained in a terrorist camp" or who helps recruit fighters could also be stripped of their nationality.
LONDON: A senior police officer in Britain said yesterday he wouldn't be quitting over a scandal involving the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 children by men of Pakistani heritage as disturbing new details of the abuse came to light.
The scandal, centred on the northern English town of Rotherham, has made headlines after an independent report exposed the scale and graphic nature of the crimes and raised difficult questions about whether timidity about confronting the racial aspects of the abuse had prompted authorities to turn a blind eye.
In particular, the report criticised local authorities and police for failing to protect the victims, in part because of misplaced racial sensitivities.

Take the family on two easy nature walks at area parks to learn something about native plants, trees, wetland birds and other wildlife.
Naturalist Brian Raven will lead the walks sponsored by Washington State University Snohomish County Extension's 4-H Natural Resources youth and adults.
Billed as a progressive nature walk from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 15, activities begin in an urban forest setting at McCollum Park, 600 128th St. SE, Everett. The group will learn to identify (and maybe eat) some native plants and spot wildlife in the woods and wetland areas.
Then it's on to North Creek County Park, a short drive away at 1011 183rd St. SE, Mill Creek, for a stroll (on a boardwalk) through a wetland area for views of waterfowl, reptiles and the distinctive flora of the watery setting.
Participants will learn something about natural resource stewardship as well.
The event is intended to inspire awareness and interest in local natural resources and what can be done to protect them. It's intended as a family activity, and youths should be accompanied by an adult. A $3 per person fee is suggested, and participants should bring their own lunch.
For registration information, please contact Gabrielle Roesch at 425-357-6011 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Early registration is required.

Become Part of the Conversation through Blogs
Participating on other's blogs can be a very powerful tool for promotion and raising your profile. Here are some tips for getting started:
- Find Your Community: Use a blog search engine like Technorati to find blogs in your subject/area of expertise.
- Make Your Mark: Once you have identified those that feel relevant and compelling, become part of the conversation by commenting on a post that interests you and add something that readers of the blog might be interested to know.
- Let People Know Where You Are: Link to your blog or website if you've written something relevant to the conversation. If you are bringing something valuable to the debate, people will begin to follow you and will be more interested in what you publish.
Start Writing a Blog
If you're passionate about your subject and are willing to write about it regularly (no less than three times per week), a blog can be a fantastic—and free—way of building an audience for both you and your work. You can start your blog with Blogger. It's free, and sign-up is very simple. Below are the steps to help you get started:
- Set Up an Account: Visit the Blogger homepage and set up a free account to create your blog.
- Give It a Name: Next, select a name for your blog—it should be short and easy to remember. We would suggest that you use your name so that the blog can expand to include future books you may publish.
- Write a Post: Once this is done, click "create post." Type your entry just like you would an email. You can choose different fonts and sizes of text, or add pictures, lists, and links to websites.
- Preview and Publish: Click on the preview button to see if you like the way your entry looks. If not, you can edit it until you are satisfied. Once you are happy with the results, click "publish."
Write in Blogging Style and Observe Blogging Etiquette
- Regularly Update: Update your blog frequently — three times a week is a minimum but set yourself a realistic schedule and stick to it.
- Keep It Short and Concise: Keep in mind that in the blogosphere, people have shorter attention spans than they do offline so you need to make your posts easily digestible and informative — 250 words can be enough.
- Make It Compelling: Strive to create blog copy that is compelling, interesting, and will invite further conversations. Stay on topic so that you don't lose your audience.
- Engage: This is an opportunity to tell your readers what you're writing about. Ask them what they'd like to hear more about. This kind of involvement will make them feel attached to you and your work, building an audience that will stay with you from book to book.
- Involve: Pose questions and comment on people's comments. A blog is meant to be a community. Respond directly to people's comments—either in the comments or in a new blog post. This will engage readers so they'll come back more often.
- Give It Personality: Above all else, remember that your blog should be an extension of you—let people know who you are and your opinions should be reflected in your writing style
Target Your Audience and Build Upon It
- Spread the Word: Once you've been posting regularly for a couple of weeks, tell your friends, colleagues, and contacts about your blog and ask them to tell their friends, colleagues, and contacts. Send an email or newsletter to your email address book or database introducing the blog and linking to it.
- Utilise Your Sphere of Influence: Look around the Internet for related blogs, and read and post to them. Commenting and becoming part of the blog community will cause others visit your blog and do the same.
- Use Your Amazon Author Page: Once you begin blogging, be sure to sign up for Amazon's Author Central. This is a program that will allow you to feed your blog directly onto your author page on Amazon.com—a very powerful way to share compelling content with possible customers.
Optimize Your Blog and Link Like Crazy!
- Use Search Engines: Add your blog to blog search engines like Technorati.com. There are dozens of blog search engines out there and more being added every day.
- Identify Clear Keywords: Create a good, concise description for your blog, as well as relevant keywords. Make your headlines snappy.
- Tag: This is easy to do on the "create post" page. Just enter the relevant keywords in the box separated by commas—this will make your blog easier to search.
- Link to Retailers: Use your custom "Buy the Book" landing page (www.wiley.com/buy/ISBN). The page should be live six months in advance of your book's publication date.
- Social Networking: Use Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., to let others know what you're blogging about and provide links back to your blog.
- RSS: Put a subscription icon on every page.
- Pictures: Use images whenever possible.
- Publicity: Let your publicist know which blogs you think would love to hear about your book. We will add them to our list for publicity and marketing outreach.
- Learn from Others: Take a look at your favorite writers' blogs and emulate some of the techniques that make their postings great.
For more in-depth information about setting up, publishing, and drawing readers to your blog, check out Blogging For Dummies.
Finally, for your protection as well as ours, please review What Our Lawyers Would Like You to Know.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Maine police have recovered 48 bronze memorial vases that were stolen from a cemetery in Portland and identified a suspect in the theft.
Portland Police said Friday that they are still looking for the remaining 12 vases.
The vases were reported stolen from the Brooklawn Memorial Cemetery on Congress Street last week.
Police say they received a tip about the stolen vases from a Sanford man who purchases scrap metal.
Police then identified a suspect who is incarcerated at the York County Jail on unrelated charges.
Authorities say the recovered vases are worth an estimated total of $10,000.

Earlier tonight, we saw D-Note drop the first cut off his upcoming mixtape. Just a few minutes ago, fellow Boston rapper Bigg Dee followed suit, releasing "We Go Hard (It's Yo Fault)", the debut track off HIS upcoming mixtape, #TOTB This Is Only The Beginning.
"We Go Hard", produced by KOUNTDOWN, is a dope track that, for lack of a better phrase, goes hard…. real hard. Of all the up-and-coming hip-hop artists I've been following and posting about lately, Bigg Dee may have the most defined style, and I really like the direction in which his music seems to be headed. I first posted his "Niggas In Boston (Niggas In Paris Freestyle" a few weeks back, and since then I've been highly anticipating the next Bigg Dee production. Needless to say, "We Go Hard" did not let me down.
#TOTB is set to release on January 11th, so by all means stay tuned through that date, and be on the lookout for more Bigg Dee tracks as that date draws nearer. And don't forget to check out the links and download "We Go Hard" below.

Look Who's Just as Classy And Thoughtful as Ever!
11/9/2013 12:00 PM PST, by Emily Trainham
All right, guys, this will only take a minute: LeAnn Rimes is being really inconsiderate and awful on Twitter again. I know, I know, we're all shocked, but let's try to push through this bizarre occurrence and just get through to the other side, OK?
Here is the offending tweet:
Get it? She's been known to steal children because she had an affair with a married man who had two kids and then she started acting like they were her own kids! That's why it's funny! Except that it isn't funny.
@Fishinggirl71 I want to squeeze her! Watch out, I've been known to steal children amongst other things LOL sorry, couldn't resist— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) November 8, 2013
Look, this isn't the worst thing she's ever said or anything, but it's just frustrating because all she has to do is not do things like this. All she has to do is not say things that could possibly hurt other people. Is that honestly so hard for her to do? She wonders why people won't let the affair go, and it's because she won't let it go, because she keeps doing nonsense like this. If it's really so hard for her to resist this, then maybe she should hop off Twitter for a minute and do some soul searching.

Miami, Fla. The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball team completed day two at the FIU tournament with a pair of losses to the Louisville Cardinals and the FIU Panthers.
The Islanders played Louisville to a 2-0 loss in the first game of the day. They followed that game with a 10-2 decision in favor of the Panthers. The Islanders are now 0-4 on the season while Louisville improved to 3-0 and FIU to 1-2.
Pitchers for the Islanders were Stacie Tassin and Addie Tallman in the first game, and Tassin, Tallman and Morgan Seals in the second. Tassin started the first game and is now 0-2 on the season. Tallman started game two and is also 0-2 on the year.
The Islanders threatened early against UL. With two outs in the first inning, Stephanie Estrada singled to center field. Margo Hurdt followed up with a single to the shortstop to put runners at first and second base. Estrada advanced to third and Hurdt advanced to second on a wild pitch to put two runners in scoring position. The Islanders were unable to capitalize however, as Kim Connelly flied out to end the threat.
The Islanders threatened once again in the fourth inning, as Connelly tripled down the right field line with two outs before a pop up ended the inning.
"We shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times." said Head Coach Jake Schumann. "We let a few opportunities get away from us today."
TAMUCC and the Cardinals battled to a stalemate after the first three-and-a-half innings, before UL got on the board with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Melissa Roth started the inning for UL with a double and moved to third base on an infield groundout. Kristi Cunningham delivered a homerun to left field to put the Cardinals up 2-0.
The Islanders were able to hold the Cardinals scoreless the rest of the way but were unable to push across any runs to fall by a 2-0 final.
"It was some of the same things we saw yesterday." said Schumann. "We aren't doing bad things, we just haven't been able to string together enough hits."
Andrea Simancas, Estrada, Hurdt and Connelly each got one hit for TAMUCC. Tassin started the game and went four innings, giving up two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out three. Tallman finished out the final two innings, giving up only two hits, no runs or walks and striking out two.
In the second game of the day, the Islanders met the host school FIU. In the first inning, Katie Bell led off with a walk. Kim Rodriguez reached on an error, followed by a Jessica Landau walk to load the bases. Lauren Spiers drew another walk to score Bell and put the Panthers on the board first. Ashley McClain hit a sacrifice fly to score Rodriguez to go up 2-0 before the Islanders were able to end the inning.
The Panthers added a single run in the second, two runs in the third, another single run in the fourth and three runs in the fifth inning to take a 9-0 lead.
The Islanders got on the board for the first time in the bottom of the fifth inning. Melissa Casey walked to start the inning, but was out at second when Landry Moore hit into a fielder's choice. Simancas then came in to run for Moore. Cassie Redman then followed with a triple to right field for the first Islander RBI of the season. Lauren Sanders followed with an RBI groundout to second base, scoring Redman. The Islanders finished the inning with two runs to put the score at 9-2.
"I was glad to see the fight late in the game when we were down." said Schumann. "It extended the game for us and gave us a chance to see some different looks with some reserves that had not played yet."
Both teams went scoreless in the sixth inning while FIU added a final run in the top of the seventh to finish the scoring at 10-2.
Sanders, Connelly, Alejia Cain and Redman each had one hit for the Islanders while Sanders and Redman each had an RBI for TAMUCC. Tallman started and pitched one-and-two-thirds innings, giving up three runs, two of the earned, on four hits and three walks while striking out none.
Tassin came on in relief and pitched two-and-two-thirds innings, giving up six runs total, five earned, on five hits and one walk while striking out two. Seals finished the game, pitching the final two-and-two-thirds innings, scattering four hits while only allowing one run. She walked one and struck out none. The Islanders committed four errors in the game.
"That second game kind of got away from us with the errors." said Schumann. "We just have to work on some things and keep getting better."
The Islanders finish up the FIU Combat Classic on Sunday morning against the North Carolina Tarheels. Game time is set for 11 AM.

Goats and Sheep Mow Through Town
Yesterday we went for a hike at La Cresta Ridge. It was a lovely rainy day. The hills all around us were green. We were happy to find the goats and sheep back this year. Today, the goats were huddled together under cover trying to stay dry. They were a wonderful assortment.
Last year was the first time they were employed to do the mowing. For years the land had been disced and torn up. Now, the goats and sheep munch the grass, Mustard, Wild Radish, and Fennel down to the ground. And, while they are munching away they are fertilizing the the fields. I just love this kind of win-win situation!

Ayiti: The Cost of Life
- Mar 08, 2007 4:41 PM EST
- [num] Comments
From UNICEF, Gamelab, and Global Kids comes a web-based game that feels like Oregon Trail with a heavy dose of global social awareness. Ayiti: The Cost of Life puts you in control of a Haitian family of five over the course of four years. You must try to strike a balance between health, happiness, and education, while still having enough money to maintain survival. Is this easy? Of course not. If not for the game's chipper sound effects and almost uncomfortably cute graphics, this would be a sure winner for the Web's Most Depressing Flash-Based Game. Can you keep your entire family from dying in poverty of diphtheria? Probably not. Consider yourself lucky you, internet-enabled mouse-clicking person, can have the option of reloading and trying again.

A real dummy question here, how does one check frame rate and what is desireable??
A little application called 'FRAPS'.
I prefer around 60 but have seen mine lag down to 5
It can be had here.
Last edited by swamprat69er; 04-02-2012 at 07:00 PM. Reason: additional info
I second the Fraps program.
Personally, I also use another program that monitors my frame rates as well as allows me to chat with other gaming "friends", but I use that because I do other gaming. I'd really recommend Fraps if you're just looking for basic frame rates.
Here is a link to the Fraps homepage if you'd like.

Welcome aborad quakezik. Another thing you can do, while in-game, is to press the F8 key (or Ctrl+F8, if the first one doesn't work). It'll display a real time counter that shows your current framerate.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
-Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV84)
Thanks for the info, depending on which screen is up, I vary from 99 to about 24 fps, seems to stay pretty smooth...
