Terrific Planning Folio!!!
By EllenB
from Undisclosed
I recently ordered the Master Agenda with the sampler pack of apps. I just love this thing!!! Over the years I've used a number of intelligently designed planners but this one is exceptional. Circa paper quality is superior to most I've tried. I really like the option of re-ordering pages and tucking in additional information with the apps and Circa blank sheets. I've always used full monthly calendars with week at a glance planning pages. Previously I tracked smart phone and digital schedule planning along with two or three paper planners and sticky notes on the weekly pages plus to do lists stuck in between or taped on my paper planners. Smart Planner's Master Agenda folds everything into a neat, streamlined package. I can customize this planner in so many ways that I no longer need all the systems that "sort of" worked. The one suggestion I have is to sell the multifold year at a glance as an app by itself for those of us that have the master agenda and don't need more monthly tabs. And some options for different solid colors of paper would be fabulous. Nice job Levenger!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the SmartAgenda
By karenk
The SmartAgenda is the perfect complement to an electronic calendar. I have used virtually every planner system available, and the new format combined with traditional Circa flexibility suits my needs beautifully. The quality of the paper is excellent and all of the sheets are well designed for their purpose. Thank youj!!
Brought me pack to daily planning!
By ThePathBeyond
from Philadelphia, PA
It has been awhile since I have used a paper pen and planner, mainly due to my company using Outlook and our phones for everything, but for some reason I missed the old paper and pen style. Every year I went out and tried something new from either DayRunner, DayTimers, or Franklin-Covey but never had much success with them - until now.I will say this much, the quality or paper that is used is top notch. I don't have to worry about the bleed through that I have had to worry about with under planning pagers, and the layout of the pages is just what I need in terms of keeping everything in order for the daily grind that I have. There are only a few quibbles that I have with the planner over all, and that is just dealing with the notes section and the colors. While I am typically a fan of the earthy tones, I just think that a gray would look better, and I would like the notes section to either have a grid or line pattern to it. I understand why they would make it unlined, but for me, I like to have some order to the chaos when it comes to my ramblings :).The additional pages that comes with the planner are helpful and a lot of my coworkers find the pads to be awesome in meetings (I am going to have to pick up more doodlers and idea station pages!) But to everyone who may buy these, just remember your coworkers!Overall, very well thought out system and I will definitely be back in the future for one next year!
2014 master agenda and apps
By Caribougal
from Lyons, CO
I had picked up a 2014 ARC planner refill at Staples, and was thoroughly bored by it. I considered several different planners before ordering Circa. I love the disc system because I helps keep my planner only as full as I want it to be, and lets me arrange it exactly for my needs. I also like that the pages and tabs had some color and style. The color is neutral enough to work for both men and women. I like several of the apps, although not all 9. I do wish Levenger would include dividers for the apps as part of the package. Overall, great product. Thanks, Levenger!
Greatly improved
By Mackie
from Waxahachie, Texas
Each year I go to catalog for a planner refill. Yes, I use my IPhone calendar, but still have to have a paper for day to day use. This year's product seems to be the best ever. I think I will be better equipped to keep everything and everyone in sync and in one place. I'm always looking for better tools for organization, I think this is it!
Best I Could Find
By Ninepentacles
from Upstate NY
My husband and I have significantly different needs where calendars are concerned. I looked at as many planners as I could stand. I came back to Circa. Why? Because we can each set our own as we like it and then coordinate.I purchased all the "apps" but to be honest, they're not overly useful to me. The Contacts, Keep &Share and To Do seem the most versatile and useful. List might be good for a grocery shopping list. And I'd love to add the Doodler pages, but there's no room for them.Please note: If you want to add anything to your scheduler apart from what is provided in the Circa package, you will either have to remove some pages or up the size of your discs. There's little room to add.I like the Monthly tabs and placed each weekly bunch of pages behind the appropriate tab - making it easier to work in one month without having to turn back and forth from place to place.I also added my own "ribbon" place holder as you can't find your page that easily otherwise. I like to grab the ribbon and be on my current page immediately. This saves time and frustration. Levenger might want to consider such an addition, tho' they do have the page finder but it's not part of this set.We've used Circa for years and find it the best possible notebooks. Junior works well for us in most everything. It's a convenient size and still large enough for notes, etc.The weekly pages are set up a bit funky, but you'll get used to it. It might have been more intuitive if the weekdays were either upper on the page with weekends on the bottom, or if they'd somehow set it as a normal Sun-Mon week. That said, the mirroring page is wonderful for notes, tasks and misc you need to jot.My husband's has the leather cover, embossed. He LOVES it and receives complements everywhere he goes. There too, a bit more space for more pages might have been in order - but he's being more careful with what he puts in it.Yes, I would recommend this. Keep in mind, you're paying prime for this item. It's not an easy or cheap purchase. But the paper is good quality and the fact that you can alter the pages in any way that you want (a Circa joy) makes up for having to buy three or four average planners to find something you like.The only thing really missing is a pen holder. Would have been a nice add on.
Love it how about some "mom" apps
By Tusweca
My business husband got this for me and I love the apps as I love making lists.As a suggestion, how about some additional apps, like recipe cards sorta in the format of the contacts app?

Great Product .. Peers are worked will be order one for their own soon.
Switching Planners
By Jammin
from North LA County, CA
I'm switching planners this year. Been using the Moleskine daily planner for several years, and since I need different kinds of pages depending on current activities, I thought I'd give this a try. Already use Circa stuff for projects and other stuff, so this was a no-brainer wrt what to try next.So far, between this and the "apps", I think I've got everything covered, and given the ability to put pages in any order I want, I think I've finally found something that'll work for me.
excited about this planner
By LovinLev
I just received the complete system and have started adding my 2014 information. I love the colors they use and the flexibility to put together the planner as it works best for you. The quality of this product, as with all things Levenger, is wonderful.

Hope that helps a little,
Please provide a complete code of getting list box values added client side to server side...
Can you post your code you are using to populate the listbox? It seems you are adding items dynamically on client and I can add code to that to fill the hidden field with the new entries.
Ok, here is a mock up for you, it fires when the listbox has a different selection made, I do not know what code you are using to populate the listbox or what code you are using to add entries, you can place the code that is in the .change event into your jquery that adds new entries to the listbox.
<input type='hidden' name='ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtTest' id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtTest' class='txt'></input>
You will be able to pick up the listbox items by looking at the txtTest.value in your code behind
<select id='dropdown' class='dd'>
<OPTION VALUE="Cape Fear">Cape Fear
<OPTION VALUE="The Good, the Bad and the Ugly">The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
<OPTION VALUE="The Omen">The Omen
<OPTION VALUE="The Godfather">The Godfather
<OPTION VALUE="Forrest Gump">Forrest Gump
$('.dd').change(function () {
//this fires when the listbox has a different selection made
//you should put this where a new entry is created for the listbox
var vals='|';//initialize the variable
$('.dd').children().each(function() {
vals=vals + $(this).val() + '|';//set the variable to the dropdownlist value
//the following line sets the class "txt" which is the textbox to the dropdownlist entries
You can change the <input type='hidden' to <input type='text' and then you can see the values filling in for testing. We will need to finetune it depending on what you are making and the variables you are using. Just remember to set the txtTest textbox cssClass to "txt" and set the listbox cssClass to "dd" that way you can reference them from jquery easier.
Let me know if you need more help,

THERE is no new date for the delayed announcement of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope site, local and international officials say.
SA and Australia are bidding to host the world's largest radio telescope with a price tag of R23bn, which will be funded by an international consortium.
A decision was expected at the SKA founding board's meeting on April 4, but its chairman John Womersley said yesterday: "It is not likely that this meeting will make a final decision on the site; rather it will be the start of a process of discussion and negotiation between the members."
SKA SA director Bernie Fanaroff yesterday confirmed that a "negotiation process" would start on April 4.
Michiel van Haarlem, SKA Organisation interim director-general, said he had "no indication" how long it would take to arrive at a decision.
There is speculation that the delay was caused by Australia and New Zealand raising concerns about a recommendation by the site advisory committee.
Department of Science and Technology director-general Phil Mjwara said the last SKA board meeting had tried to address Australia's concerns, but some were still outstanding. "The board has decided to table the issues for members to consider," he said.
Last month, two Australian newspapers reported that the site committee had found SA's proposed site technically superior to Australia's. SKA representatives would not confirm the reports.
Australian Science Minister Chris Evans caused a stir two weeks ago when he reportedly said that an "aid mind-set" aimed at developing Africa was Australia's main impediment to hosting the SKA. He vetoed the idea of SA and Australia sharing the sprawling telescope, which will consist of 3000 antennae. But Dr Fanaroff said a possible area for negotiation was "how both countries can stay in the process".
"All the countries now want to finalise the site decision as a matter of urgency, so the work on the SKA can carry on," Dr Fanaroff said. "It is impossible to prognosticate. Everyone is hoping it won't take longer than a couple of months."

Partistan Records
Richard Bryd at Little America
Cajun Gems
Ben Whitesides and Darrell Bourque started around the same time as their main group the Joggers as a home for a series of lo-fi, fingerpicked guitar songs that fall somewhere between John Fahey and Polvo
In the year 2000 Portland wasn't yet a destination. Not really. It was a drizzly little place with light traffic and basements full of mold. This suited Ben Whitesides and Darrell Bourque, who had both barely drifted into town that fall when they met. The two soon discovered that they shared an admiration for the eastern inclinations of Polvo and John Fahey, the hissy excursions of Sebadoh and Home, and pretty much anything else created under strange circumstances by uninhibited introverts. Ben—in a vainglorious misstep taken by countless young men before him—had traded-in his Ibanez bass for a guitar, and was attempting to learn how to fake fingerpicking as quickly as he could. Darrell, the owner of a drum kit, had been an enthusiastic bong-hit thumper for years. It was decided that these two very amateur players would try to make some tunes together.
Their template was simple: amplified fingerstyle guitar + drums + vocals. Brevity and melody. George Meredith once said "perfect simplicity is unconsciously audacious." Theirs was far from perfect, but it did work in ways that southpaws' right-handed sketches work; uncharted territory, explored with zeal and disbelief. Before long, in the summer of 2002—armed with broken mics, smoldering, sputtering laptops, and zero understanding of how to go about it—they recorded two-dozen songs in their basements and a couple of bathrooms (for the reverb!)
Compelled to share their tunes with friends + a few fellow cranks, they burned 50 CD-Rs and, needing a name, decided on Cajun Gems. Darrell was a Québecois, and as every school child knows, Québeq is where the Acadians lived before they were exiled to Louisiana — becoming "Cajuns". Pretty cool, right?
After the summer of 2002, Cajun Gems have performed only a handful of times — as Ben and Darrell spent most of their sonic free energies playing together in The Joggers. But in 2008 they discovered that newly-formed Partisan Records would be interested in releasing Richard Byrd at Little America. "Really?" They thought. They were surprised and flattered, but didn't know if it was a good idea. But still susceptible to vainglorious hazards, Ben agreed, and recruited Rob Oberdorfer (The Standard, Ages and Ages) to help them remix the thing — Rob perhaps not quite grasping how impressively slow the Cajun Gems could be.
Now, a full 8 years after it was recorded, and fully remixed, the record is here for your casual ingestion. What does it sound like? Spirited non-careerism? Misspent Youth? Babysit the little guy a while and see if you don't find some common ground.

Published June 27, 2013
Suspected Nazi military commander Michael Karkoc should face charges for alleged war crimes whether or not he ordered his men to kill civilians or personally was involved in the killings, UB Law School expert Stephen Paskey says.
"In his father's defense, Andrij Karkos (Editor's note: his son spells his name differently) declared that there is no evidence of his father taking 'a direct hand in war crimes,' and that his father 'was never a Nazi,'" says Paskey, who teaches legal writing and is an experienced litigator in cases involving alleged Nazi collaborators.
"Both points are irrelevant," he says.
"Prosecutors need not prove that Karkoc ordered his men to kill civilians or personally 'took a hand' in the killings. Under the well-established principle of command responsibility, Karkoc would be guilty of war crimes if he was present while his men committed atrocities and failed to take all necessary and reasonable measures to stop them," Paskey says.
Karkoc, 94, is a resident of Minneapolis who allegedly served as a company commander in the Nazi-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion. Allegations against Karkoc surfaced recently as a result of an investigation by the Associated Press, which was prompted by a tip from a British amateur historian.
Members of Karkoc's company and other witnesses have told stories of brutal attacks on Polish civilians. In one incident, Karkoc's men allegedly torched the Polish village of Chłaniów and machine-gunned innocent men, women and children as a reprisal for the killing of the legion's commander.
Paskey served as a senior trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice, where he litigated denaturalization and deportation cases against men who assisted in Nazi war crimes. He says the case of Karkoc presents the U.S. government with a quandary.
Some have argued that the justice department should revoke Karkoc's naturalized citizenship and deport him from the United States, Paskey says. If Karkoc were a commander in a Nazi-led military unit, that alone is sufficient grounds for deportation, regardless of whether he participated in war crimes.
"But any effort to deport Karkoc for that reason is almost certain to fail," Paskey explains, "because no country, not even his native Ukraine, would willingly accept him."
Instead, the outcome of the case will depend on the actions of the Polish and German governments," he says.
If the allegations against Karkoc are true, Poland is the most appropriate country for prosecution, Paskey says. "The crimes were committed in Poland against Polish civilians. The Polish government should move swiftly to request his extradition and prosecute him for war crimes, even while he remains a U.S. citizen.
"Over the past decade, Polish officials have repeatedly declined to prosecute men who committed Nazi war crimes on Polish soil," adds Paskey. "Poland declined to prosecute even in the case of John Demjanjuk, a former guard at the Sobibor death camp who helped march thousands of Jews to the gas chambers at gunpoint. And with the lone exception of Demjanjuk, the German government has not prosecuted Nazi war crimes suspects who were not German citizens."
The U.S. government should concentrate on helping prosecutors investigate the case, Paskey says.
"If prosecutors move swiftly and if Karkoc lives for at least another four to five years, it is still possible that he could yet stand trial for war crimes."
Beyond Paskey's legal expertise, he volunteers this information about his Polish heritage:
"In a small village in northeastern Poland, a weathered stone marks the grave of a man who is probably a distant relative of mine," he says. "The stone reads: 'Murdered by the Hitlerites. Honor his memory.'
"Some will say that a 94-year-old man should not be prosecuted for crimes committed 70 years ago," Paskey says. "But so long as even one perpetrator of Nazi atrocities is alive, it is not too late to honor the victims or work for some small measure of justice. And it is never too late to send a message to those who committed atrocities in the decades since World War II, in places ranging from Somalia and the Balkans to Cambodia and Chile: 'We remember; we are looking for you and we will not allow you to enjoy the life you denied your victims.'"
Allegations are easy to make, but as the Demjanjuk case showed, it is quite another matter to get a conviction. After decades of legal wrangling and legal reversals, Demjanjuk still ended up legally innocent because he died before his appeal could be heard by the German court. The German court overturned Demjanjuk's earlier conviction. Under German criminal law, innocence is maintained until all appeals have been exhausted. (See Wikipedia; John Demjanjuk)
Demjanjuk had also been acquitted earlier by the Israeli High Court.
Anything Paskey has said about Demjanjuk should have been qualified as allegations and accusations. The allegations and accusations were never proven "beyond a doubt" in a court of law, which is the legal criterion for establishing guilt. Paskey should know that.
The Demjanjuk case is a reminder that in old and complex cases like this, it is wise to presume innocence until legally proven otherwise.
As for "command responsibility," Karkoc was a allegedly a 2nd lieutenant (the lowest of the commissioned officer ranks) like William Calley of the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War.
In 1971, after Calley's guilty verdict, U.S. veterans expressed their outrage, because My Lai was not an unusual occurrence.
At least Calley was tried by a court martial. Karkoc, if he disobeyed an Nazi German Police-SS order, could have faced summary execution.

The actress, 28, welcomed her second child, a baby girl named Beatrix, on Tuesday with her boyfriend Morty Coyle.
"Jodie was amazing and is doing great," Coyle tells PEOPLE. "We are now the proud, excited parents of Miss Beatrix Carlin Sweetin Coyle."
Beatrix, whom her dad is already calling "Bea," is the couple's first child together. Sweetin also has a 2-year-old daughter, Zoie, with ex-husband Cody Herpin.
Beatrix made her debut at 7 lbs., 4 oz. and 19 inches long.
"We're already madly in love with Beatrix and are so grateful for the support from our family and friends. And we can't wait for her big sister Zoie to meet her," the couple tell PEOPLE.
The actress announced her pregnancy in April, and spent her last few days as a mom-of-one enjoying the calm before the storm.
Shortly before giving birth, she joined her former Full House costar John Stamos at his star-studded birthday bash on Aug. 19 – the same day she Tweeted that Zoie "will be a fabulous big sister."

Five respected judges and lawyers started the Charleston School of Law a decade ago with the lofty goal of training attorneys committed to public service.
School of Law enrollment
Number of students at Charleston School of Law:
Year Full-time Part-time Total
2004 137 63 200
2005 275 117 392
2006 357 223 580
2007 379 205 584
2008 409 204 613
2009 453 216 669
2010 523 178 701
2011 517 191 708
2012 447 184 631
2013 427 110 537
But beginning in 2010, the well-connected founders and owners with deep South Carolina roots began draining money from the school, withdrawing $25 million in profits by 2013 that they split among themselves.
The license decision
The state Commission on Higher Education will decide whether to grant InfiLaw System a license to operate the Charleston School of Law based on criteria in the following categories:
Academics and curriculum
Reputation and character
The owners had a great deal of support from the Charleston community to launch the school, including a below-market-rate land deal from the city aimed at helping it remain on the peninsula and earn accreditation from the American Bar Association.
Higher Education Commission
The Commission on Higher Education is composed of 15 members*
Seven members are nominated by the legislative delegations in each of the state's seven congressional districts. The nominees are affirmed by the governor.
Four at-large members are selected by the governor and affirmed by the Senate.
Three members represent the state's research, comprehensive and technical higher education institutions, selected by the governor and affirmed by the Senate.
One member is a president of a private higher education institution, selected by the governor and affirmed by the Senate.
*Currently only 11 commission seats are filled.
Source: S.C. Commission on Higher Education
Their taking out the profits instead of re-investing in the school has left it in such financial shambles its future remains uncertain.
Kevin Hall, a Columbia lawyer who represents InfiLaw System, a company trying to purchase the school, revealed the surprising financial information about founders Robert Carr, George Kosko, Ralph McCullough, Alex Sanders and Ed Westbrook at a public hearing last week. "The Charleston School of Law, ladies and gentlemen, is in a financial tailspin," Hall said.
Carr, Kosko and Westbrook, the three remaining owners, confirmed Hall's description of the school's financial situation, and they all agreed that it got that way because owners for years had been pulling profits from the institution. But they disagree sharply on the school's future.
While Carr and Kosko want desperately for the sale to the for-profit InfiLaw to go through, Westbrook is pushing for it to be run like a community-based organization. And he vowed to financially back that plan.
"There's no question that InfiLaw is the most lucrative option for the founders," Westbrook said, adding a community-based model would be better for the school, its students and the community.
McCullough and Sanders retired in July, just days before the owners announced that they had entered into a management services agreement with InfiLaw. They later said a sale was in the works. Hall said InfiLaw also advanced the school $6 million to buy out Sanders and McCullough.
He also said InfiLaw still wants to buy the school, and can bring in the resources to make it better.
But Hall didn't talk about the impact of those moves on students, who were racking up student-loan debt - many of them more than $100,000 - to attend the school where tuition was approaching $38,000 per year. And he didn't mention the increasingly tough job market lawyers have faced since the economic downturn, a trend that makes it difficult for many of them to repay those loans.
InfiLaw stands firm
Hall made his comments during a public hearing prior to a meeting of the state Commission on Higher Education's Academic Affairs and Licensing Committee. The full commission will decide June 5 whether to grant InfiLaw a license to operate the Charleston school. The committee voted, 3-1, against granting the license, despite commission staffers recommending it for approval.
Hall said he thinks the company meets the requirements for a license, and the company will continue to push for approval.
He also said the Charleston School of Law is both broke and broken, and its future could be bleak if InfiLaw isn't granted a license to operate it.
If the license isn't granted, "you can forget any improvements in facilities, technology, clinical programs or anything else that costs money," Hall said. The Charleston School of Law, he said, will "face extinction because it does not have positive cash flow or sufficient capital and liquidity."
But many Charleston School of Law students, alumni and faculty members, as well as members of the state's legal community and the Charleston community, oppose the sale to InfiLaw because they think the company's three other law schools have lower standards than the Charleston school. Selling to InfiLaw will decrease the value of a Charleston School of Law degree, they have said. And they recently have started calling the company "law mart."
Founders are divided
Alex Sanders, who was chairman of the law school's board until he left the school last year as the InfiLaw plan unfolded, is perhaps the most well-known of the founders. The former chief judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals and former president of the College of Charleston is widely respected and seen as a charismatic storyteller. A character in one of Pat Conroy's novels was based on Sanders.
But Sanders refused to answer questions about how and why the law school ended up in such dire financial straits.
"I will not engage in any further discussions about the Charleston School of Law," he said. "I can but don't want to."
McCullough could not be reached for comment.
In a joint personal statement, Carr and Kosko said, "It is clear to us - as it now is to many people - that the school is in a difficult financial position. We continue to believe InfiLaw is the only entity with the interest, capacity and resources to own and operate the school the way that students, faculty and alumni deserve."
But they also refused to answer questions about why they financially depleted the school.
At the public hearing, Carr said, "I wanted to build a law school. I never wanted to run a law school."
He didn't want to lose money, he said. "But I never thought it was going to be a big business deal. I was wrong."
Westbrook said he always has been opposed to selling the school to InfiLaw, but he was outnumbered by Kosko and Carr, who pushed forward with the sale.
He questioned the value of the for-profit school model on which InfiLaw schools and the Charleston School of Law are based.
"I wasn't looking to make money, but lo and behold, success came," he said. "And along came students, and then more students and more tuition dollars. And then the profits came. And then the question of what to do with the profits."
Westbrook said he never asked for a distribution from the profits, but he never turned one down.
And, he said, he wants the school to continue to operate, and to do that similar to the way a nonprofit organization operates. He pitched that idea to the five founders before they began pushing for the InfiLaw plan, but they shot it down, he said.
He also said he thinks it's still possible to turn Charleston School of Law into a solid community-based law school.
He put up the money to launch the school, he said. If the commission doesn't grant InfiLaw a license, he will continue to back the school financially.
Hall said he thinks Westbrook "continues to sell false hope by suggesting that some combination of student enthusiasm, coupled with financial resources that do not exist, can keep this sinking ship afloat. Even Pollyanna would know better."
But John Robinson, chairman of the school's Alumni Board, said that while he was surprised to learn how much money the owners had withdrawn from the school, he's certain ownership options besides InfiLaw exist for its future. "There are other solutions that responsible parties will articulate shortly," he said.

Dinner at the Steakhouse (Chef's Art) was incredible and well worth the money! We had two birthdays while on board and they went above and beyond. We dined in the Crimson dining room a few nights and everything was great. We found that the dress code was not really adhered too - not a huge thing but I really don't want to see people in bikinis and bathing suits in the inside dining areas.
Our room steward, Ozzy, was extremely friendly and always greeted us by name. He went above and beyond, especially little extra touches for our 5 year old. (See separate review regarding our original cabin, 11218).
We utilized the spa, as we were in the spa class. Julieta (the assistant spa manager, I believe) was so nice and informative about the products we used during a couple's mud treatment (highly recommended). The spa overall was awesome and never too crowded.
Ports of call included Nassau, San Juan, St. Thomas and Grand Turk. Wish we could have been in port longer and felt a bit rushed to do excursions, shopping, etc. San Juan was delayed by several hours as we had to turn around and take a passenger back to Nassau due to a medical emergency. Saw another passenger taken off the ship in Grand Turk...and on our last night saw the medical team rushing to a cabin for another medical emergency. They did a great job in this respect in handling things.
While we have been extremely pleased with the above mentioned items, we and our friend who sailed with us were extremely, extremely disappointed with Camp Carnival. We have a 5 year old and she has an 11 year old. This is the main reason that we chose to go with Carnival despite being past cruisers on NCL. We were so perplexed because Carnival touts what a fantastic program they have for kids. In our experience, the supervisors are interfering with the staff's ability to take care of the children, thwarting any success at drop off for children who may be timid due to a new environment. Samantha from Canada was our daughter's camp 'counselor' and was superb and did an excellent job in making our daughter feel comfortable. Finally by Day 4 we gave up, it wasn't worth the aggravation.
Instead of being warm and welcoming, some of the counselors came across as rude and rigid. The night we had reservations at the steakhouse, my husband had to bring back our daughter back to the cabin who was so upset...20 minutes before our dinner reservation. We ended up getting her back and she had a good time, but the point of the matter is, we had to have a huge meltdown when we are supposedly on vacation.
We have sailed a few times with Carnival however, after this trip we will never sail with them again - nor will the other two parties with us. Having activities for our child is important and while Carnival exceled in other areas, this area is a big one for us. Every day there was a snafu with Camp Carnival, including them getting snippy when they claimed to have called us for an hour, yet the phone they issued us never rang or showed a call (nor did they ring our room). If you don't have kids, it's probably great.
Sad to say, we're glad to be home. We gave them a chance in light of the problems they've had. Lesson learned.

Embracing change
Bob Freudenthal
APWA President
In all walks of life, including the public works profession, change is constant. Successful people recognize change as a given, embrace the changes approaching them, and learn to take advantage of the changes. Change is only to be feared if you resist it, or if you don't see it coming. To paraphrase a line from a Star Trek movie: "Resistance is futile; change will catch up to you."
Two specific areas within public works in which change is underway are the engineering profession and, of course, the technologies applicable to public works. Through the work of our Technical Committees and our educational programs, APWA is a great resource to help you become aware of the approaching changes in our industry, understand them, and prepare for them.
Educational and licensing requirements for engineers and public works professionals are being reviewed by various industry organizations and changes are being discussed. Qualifications that were sufficient for the Baby Boomers and earlier generations may not be deemed sufficient for those up-and-coming professionals in Generations X or Y. Educational programs must be put in place to provide tomorrow's professionals the technical and leadership skills they will require in the future.
Thanks to advances in communication and data technologies, today we live in a truly global economy. The practice of "off-shoring" certain engineering services is growing; while it is certainly more prevalent in industries other than public works at the moment, off-shoring is a trend that should be understood and managed.
Project delivery methods are changing. While the traditional design-bid-build approach is still by far the most prevalent in our industry, the use of other value-based project delivery systems such as design-build and those involving a construction manager are becoming more common. This issue of the APWA Reporter includes an article describing the risks and rewards of using construction manager services with multiple prime contractors on a building project versus a traditional general contractor approach.
In a few areas of the United States, qualifications-based selection (QBS) of engineers, architects and consultants is being challenged in favor of selection methods that include price as a primary criterion. APWA has been and continues to be an advocate of QBS. A new edition of the APWA publication Selection and Use of Engineers, Architects and Professional Consultants - Guidelines for Public Agencies will be unveiled at this year's Congress in Kansas City. An educational session has been planned on Monday of Congress to discuss the new edition. This very popular publication has been updated to reflect recent trends in consultant selection and use practices, including the application of QBS to design-build and other value-based project delivery systems. The updated publication has been prepared by the Engineering and Technology Committee's Technical Publications Subcommittee, and has had the advantage of a peer review by representatives of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). We greatly appreciate the efforts of these volunteers.
Technology changes affecting public works and all other industries continue to be rapid and constant. The challenge of staying current with applicable new technologies is daunting, but also necessary and possible. It is heartening to hear about public works managers in communities of all sizes using technologies like GPS and GIS to manage their communities' infrastructure on a day-to-day basis. Again, APWA educational opportunities, including sessions at Congress and at chapter conferences, Click, Listen, and Learn webcasts, articles in the APWA Reporter, and the infoNOW Communities are all excellent resources from which you can learn about new technologies that can help you deliver the best possible service to your community. Examples of uses of technology in public works you will read about in this issue include video-based roadway asset inventories, the use of handheld GPS units to inventory storm sewer outfalls, 3-D surveying, and the use of GPS and AVL for dispatch purposes.
Technology will continue to change well after the last Baby Boomer has left the public works profession. The adaptation of tomorrow's technologies to public works will be in the hands of the younger public works professionals of today, and those who will enter the profession in the future. Without a doubt, if those of us in public works today demonstrate that our profession embraces new technologies and change, we will be able to attract a greater number of smart, energetic, hardworking Generation X and Y professionals to the field of public works. There would be no better legacy.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have waived guard Nate Robinson.
General manager Sam Presti made the announcement Saturday.
Robinson was a midseason acquisition from the Boston Celtics last season and appeared in four games for the Thunder. He averaged 3.3 points and 1.5 assists in 7.5 minutes per game.
Robinson, 27, hadn't been with the team for the preseason, as he wasn't satisfied with the amount of playing time he figured to receive.
Oklahoma City acquired the 5-9 three-time dunk contest champ from Boston midway through the 2010-11 season as part of the Kendrick Perkins-Jeff Green trade.
Robinson didn't make much of an impact after the trade, though—nor did he shine with the Celtics, who acquired him the season before. With the Knicks in 2008-09, Robinson averaged career highs in points (17.2) and assists (4.1).

Meaning you would have to click "Desktop" every time you booted up or logged in or restarted to get to the "normal" Windows experience. Before you could just select a (probably pretty well hidden) option to go directly to the Desktop everytime. Why they would think forcing people to use it will make them like it is beyond me.

O'Driscoll among owners of homes seeking water supply
Irish rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll is among the owners of a number of holiday homes in Co Wexford seeking a High Court injunction requiring restoration of water supply to the houses after it was allegedly cut off in a dispute over management fees.
The dispute relates to properties in the Seafield Demesne Hotel and Golf development in Ballymoney.
Fifty-nine people, including O'Driscoll, own 33 of the 60 houses and are seeking an order requiring Seafield Demesne Management (SDM) Ltd to restore their water supply, allegedly cut off in March.
Mr Justice Kevin Feeney, who will give his decision on the application tomorrow, noted that it was agreed between the parties that the investors had either paid a total of €207,130 under protest to SDM or into their solicitor's account in relation to management fees since the dispute began in 2007. Ronan Murphy SC, for the owners, said the dispute was over a failure by SDM to justify the service charge amount. Martin Hayden SC, for SDM, said his client was owed €335,000 for 2008 to 2011.

Vine 2 Wine, one of the last annual wine events benefiting Santa Clarita residents, is changing hands.
The former Betty Ferguson Foundation, having recently closed their doors, chose Circle of Hope to take over the event set for Sunday, June 12.
Circle of Hope is working hand-in-hand with the people that ran the event so successfully for many years. But, some changes like ticketless tastings, a "wine pull," premium tastings and a "beer garden" will entice this year's guests as well.
Though other wine fests routinely charge their wine and gift vendors to have a table at events, Circle of Hope won't. Instead, it's up to each individual to donate back to Circle of Hope.
"Circle of Hope, in taking over this event, wants to give back a little bit," said Executive Director Ray Tippet. "By embracing others that might be in need of assistance, or that are facing illnesses -- it calls up our mission, makes us different, and we are happy to offer the goodwill gesture."
The mission of Circle of Hope, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, is to provide emotional support and financial assistance for medical expenses for uninsured and underinsured individuals with breast cancer who live in, work in, or receive treatment in the Santa Clarita Valley.

I just think for the most part,there's too much wasted energy and frustration when it comes to Franzen.The Wings just don't go out and trade a top line player, especially one that's homegrown. They are loyal to their players, possibly to a fault. But their tendency is to let players play until their contracts expire and let them "retire" on their own. I'm skeptical that Holland will use any of his buyouts, unless there is a long term injury concern with either Bertuzzi or Samuelsson. Until the UFA's are figured out, they aren't buying out anyone. As I've mentioned before, neither Franzen or his contract is enough of a detriment to the team for Mike Ilitch to dig into his pocket and pay him 20+ million dollars to go away and sign with another team. Vancouver already has a noose around it's neck with the Luongo contract, I don't think they, or other teams are going to want to acquire any of the guys signed to the long term deals. Teams are trying to shed those contracts, not take any on.
For all the griping about Franzen, Filppula and Holland, this team was a goal away from the WCF. So I'm going to put my trust in the Wings management.

Car Hire Geneva
Description: In the car rental business since 1979, providing quality car hire services throughout Europe.
|Table of contents
About Geneva
Situated at the foot of the Alps,Geneva is one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. It is also the second largest city of Switzerland, and the European headquarters of the United Nations. Thus, it is an important financial and commercial center. Known as the "City of Parks" also internationally popular as a ski destination for lovers of the sport.The Cointrin International Airport is well served by train and bus services. Many car rental companies offer their travel services right from the airport.
Geneva by Car
The fine roads and well regulated traffic make driving around Geneva a pleasant experience. Driving around in a car allows tourists the flexibility and freedom that is so essential when visiting a city like Geneva. It is an excellent way to explore the picturesque city and savour every scenic beauty. The mountainous landscape around Geneva can be best appreciated by getting away from the city. Many popular ski resorts are only a couple of hours drive from the airport, and traveling by car is a good option. Quality service is provided by the car hire companies, taking care of all the traveling needs of visitors. Most rental companies maintain a large fleet of a range of cars to suit different requirements. The major companies run their business online also; and internet research will provide details about services, rates, discounts, and rules through their websites. It is advisable to book the car online well in advance to avoid inconvenience.Almost all of the car rental companies offer services ranging from hotel booking and accommodation, to planning the tours and activities for the tourists. The car rental rates usually include insurance cover for fire and third party liability. Additional insurance for theft or accident can be bought. However, traffic rules and regulations need to be carefully understood before getting on the road. Any foreigner with a valid international driving license may drive as long as they have third party insurance. Driving in Switzerland with a valid foreign driving licence is permitted as long as certain regulations are respected. Switzerland is not a member of the EU, so a car rented here will be allowed to drive in any EU country for only 8 days. Driving is on the right according to the Geneva Convention, the minimum age limit for driving is 18(although the age has to be at least 20 to be able to rent a car), seat belt is mandatory in both front and back seats, and drunken driving is a punishable offence. Highways in Switzerland require a toll sticker that is displayed at the top-center or lower corner of the windshield. Cars rented in Switzerland have the sticker attached; otherwise it must be purchased separately at a cost of approximately US$28.There are no other tolls in Switzerland. For driving on the snowy mountain roads, snow tyres will be required; and the car rental companies usually provide these. Parking zones are marked by colours: "white" signifies unrestricted time, "blue" equals a 90 minute limit and "red" for only 15 minutes. There is also an option of unmetered parking; for these you need to obtain discs- to be placed on the dashboard on which time of arrival is mentioned. These discs are available from rental car companies, police stations and banks.
Europe is the world's best holiday destination; there is a lot to explore in the landscapes of every country. A growing number of tourists follow individual vacation & travel plans pursuing a myriad of diverse activities. The rental companies are able to offer customised facilities and services for the distinct needs of such travelers. Car rental is a vast business in Europe, and the competitive market enables excellent services at reasonable rates.
Car Hire GenevaIs an international car rental service provider since 1979. The highlights of the services provided are-no hidden costs, no cancellation fee, free pickup and delivery of its cars from the airport, breakdown assistance, and insurance cover. A fleet of exclusive cars in every category from all the major names:Audi, Seat, Skoda, Fiat, BMW, Opel, Renault, Peugeot, Ford, Toyota, Volvo, & GM.The rental

Well it's high time I get one. I've been reloading the same recipe for years but lack of components has me making a few changes. Might be fun too-so let me know what chrony you use and suggest ad or what to avoid. Thank you in advance.

background, border and font colours.
Finally, add the ticker to posts, pages and sidebars by simply
inserting the supplied short code tag.
More than ever before we live in an attention deficit disorder world, with lots of advertising media clamouring for the eyes and ears of anyone who will look. And to make it worse, most people are becoming increasingly blind to ads, and even tuning them out or in the case of radio and TV, turning them down as soon as they come on.
(Did you know it's common practice for the TV companies to turn TV ad volume up by 20% in the breaks? This is so you can still hear the ad while you've gone to get a drink or snack! I don't know about you, but I'm in the habit of turning them right down to about 10% volume now and starting up or continuing a conversation.)
Certainly, louder more in-your-face advertising is NOT the way to go. It just has the opposite effect on your visitors.
What you need to do is to get the attention of your prospects in a subtle way, one that they're not going to realise is happening.
But how?
We believe we've hit a home run with our news ticker style plugin for all your WordPress blogs. It adds a simple but deadly effective scroller in the style, size and location you choose.
Simply load up your text and links, place a simple short code tag wherever you want the ad scroller to appear and away you go. You can place the ad scroller in your posts and pages, and anywhere in your sidebars by using one of the built in WordPress text widgets, and make them as wide or as narrow as you wish.
You can even set the font style and size, background, border and font colours!
Here's a screenshot of an example narrow 250 pixel wide scroller in the "Courier New" font at 16px size with a black border and font, and a yellow background:-

Getting your visitors attention can be the biggest problem you face.
We're all constantly subjected to advertising in one form or another (it feels like) our entire waking day. So if you have an important message you want to get across, it can be extremely difficult to make your point.
Let's face it, people can sometimes just get annoyed with ads and what you're trying to do to earn a living.
And think about this. Just like you can automatically learn to tune out background noise, most people have become "ad blind" to most types of ads and have "tuned them out".
What you need is to grab back their attention, but *without annoying them*.
WP Autopeel is both a standalone script and a WordPress plugin for your convenience. So you can run it on both static HTML sites as well as WordPress blogs.
What it does is create a really cool looking page peel effect in the top right hand corner of your web page.
This draws the eye and compels people to click it. When they click to see what it is, they're directed to a new page and you make your offer.
Now all you have to do is put in a small amount of effort to create your ad and then watch your site visitors click it.
The easiest way of using WP Autopeel is with WordPress and you can be up and running with your ad in minutes.
Many people are now using browser addons to temporarily disable Flash just to avoid seeing the ever increasing number of Flash based banner ads. We've all seen them on sites like eBay.
Well unlike similar flash based solutions, WP Autopeel uses javascript to do the corner peel effect.
Javascript is also a lot easier on the processor than Flash, meaning users of older computers will still be able to see your corner peel ads without seeing their computer crawl to a standstill.
These two reasons mean that there's a better chance of your corner peel ads being seen by your site visitors.
This means that if you prefer to use WordPress as your sales medium, you can use the plugin version. If you prefer traditional long sales copy on a single page, you can still use the technique by using the HTML version.
We've made it very easy to use.
All you need to do is to add some simple [tags] to your page and upload a few files. Yes, it's that simple...
I have tested both the WP plugin and the HTML version in all major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari...
If you want to see an example of web page with the script installed (HTML version), just scroll up and take a look to the top right corner... And you can open this page in all the browsers you have installed on your computer.
Also, I have tested the WP plugin using several Wordpress versions, starting from 2.8.6 to 3.0.3. Just click the links below to see an example of a blog with the plugin installed and working (all links will open in a new window).
And you can open these pages too in all the browsers you have installed on your computer.
If you have tested the pages above, you might have noticed that ALL the peel-away links have opened in a new window. This feature is working for both the WP plugin version and for the HTML version. This way, you can be sure that your visitors will not leave your blog or site...
NO PROBLEM! I have taken care of that part too...
First, I have created some simple graphics that are provided as PSD files. Just show/hide the layers in those files by clicking on the "eye" icon in your layers palette until you are hapy with the result, and save your file as a .jpg image (large.jpg or small.jpg). And don't worry, you can open these files either with Photoshop/Photoshop Elements or with the free GIMP...
And second, just take a look at my...
Don't miss out on this great technique for getting your message across and improving your sales.
Take advantage of my current good mood and grab WP Autopeel now while you can at this bargain basement price. After I've hit my target 200 sales, the price WILL go up. Although this is such a cool method that you probably wouldn't mind paying double the price you see today.
Wouldn't you?
WP Autopeel is both an easy to use WordPress plugin and on top of that you also get the code you need for your standalone HTML sales pages.
WP Autopeel will give you a competitive advantage by gaining the attention of those visitors you would normally have lost.
P.P.S. It's more important than ever not to annoy your visitors with too much advertising. By placing this small and unobtrusive but eye-catching news ticker to your blog, you'll increase the likelihood of getting your ad noticed in this minimal attention world.

Listen: Kanye West and Jay-Z are hard as a mother... in 'H.A.M.'
It's kind of nice that when Kanye West says he's gonna do something, he's actually done it. A 30-minute mini-film for "Runaway?" A collaboration with Justin Bieber (sigh)? Solid Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D.) signees and a G.O.O.D. Friday release every week leading up to his album release last year? Check, check, check, check.
When he boasted of a forthcoming EP -- and then a full-length album -- with Jay-Z, I'll admit I doubted. But this thing, "Watch the Throne," just got a lot more real.
As previously reported, Ye and Hov plotted a single release for today, and I'll be damned, they're trying hard. "H.A.M." is raucous and urgency, bursting with paranoia when those choral voices jump in, dripping with bravado when both rappers are released from their respective cages with some of the same *rowr* they harnessed in "Monster" from West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
But -- hear this -- West's nasally "haaaam" on the chorus sounds downright silly, a made-up acronym for "hard as a motherfucker," as bleating, double-time beats, a full string-orchestra and instrumental interludes force "Transformers" level of mechanized drama. It makes me take the thing less seriously, but I don't blame producer Lex Luger, who's signature move is those gargantuan peaks. Jay-Z seems to have more fun with his rhymes, so maybe it's just West you makes it sound like he's the only one who thinks he's got something left to prove.
[More after the jump...]
I don't expect you'll be hearing this on top 40 -- too many expletives, too street, and there's too much going on there. But it will make the common rotation somewhere, and it does hint at great things to come when "Watch This Throne" drops. Oh, and it will drop.
Kanye West made my top 10 for 2010, and Jay-Z was there in 2009. Way to already start owning 2011, guys.
"Like" the "Watch The Throne" page on Facebook to stream, or just check the YouTube version below, before UMG pulls it. And keep your eyes on listn.to/watchthethrone for more announcements from the pair.

What is honesty? Many children understand a definition of honesty to be "don't lie". But a complete definition of honesty also means that an honest person doesn't do things that are morally wrong. If something you do is breaking the law or you have to hide it because you'll get in trouble, you are probably not being honest.
Honesty is speaking the truth. Lying is not honest (also called dishonest) because you are saying something that isn't true.
Examples of this form of honesty include:
When you do something you know is morally wrong, or when you have to hide your actions because you know they are wrong, you are not being honest. Being honest means you act in a way that you know is the right thing to do.
This part of the definition of honesty includes not hiding the truth (deceiving), not breaking rules to gain an advantage (cheating), and not taking something that isn't yours (stealing) and any other action that you would hide because it is against what you consider morally right.
A big part of honesty is what you say and how you act toward others. But another part of the definition of honesty is whether you treat yourself the same way. Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true.
This part of the definition of honesty includes:
"A conscience is that voice in your head, and that feeling in your heart, that tells you if something is right or wrong, even when no one is looking"
Read this story about honesty
Create your own definition for what honesty is from these examples.
You broke a table. Your mom asks who broke the table and you tell her you did it.
Honesty answer: Honesty means telling the truth, so admitting to breaking the table is the honest action.
You really want to play with a friend's toy at your house so you slip the toy in your backpack and figure you'll put it back tomorrow.
Honesty answer: Taking something that is not yours is morally wrong and dishonest. Asking to borrow the toy is honest.
You heard a rumor and you think it's not true, so you don't spread it.
Honesty answer: Spreading rumors isn't a nice thing to do whether they are true or not. But if you spread rumors that you even just think might be false, then you are being dishonest because you aren't speaking the truth.
Your dad says not to play your game player. You hide in the closet to play it, but you don't tell your dad about it so you didn't lie.
Honesty answer: Even if you don't get caught, so you don't speak a lie about what you did, sneaking and hiding your actions usually means you are not making an honest choice.
You went to Joey's to play, and then went to Austin's without asking.
When your dad asks, "Whose house did you play at today?" you say,
"I played at Joey's."
Honesty answer: Even if you don't say a lie outright, hiding the truth (deceiving) is dishonest. Being honest means telling the whole truth.

Allen's 31 saves earned him the Peoria Rivermen single-season shutout record
and it only took him eight starts to do it.
His fourth shutout paced the Rivermen to a 5-0 win over the Rockford
IceHogs on Saturday night at the MetroCentre. His four shutouts are most in the American
Hockey League and pushed him past Manny Legace on the single-season shutout
list, who had three in 2008-09. His goals-against
average dropped to 1.18 while his save percentage improve 0.964, both are best
in the AHL.
different Rivermen scored as Graham Mink led the way with three points (1g, 2a)
and Nathan Oystrick chipped in a pair of assists. Peoria improved to 4-1-0 this season against
the IceHogs and have outscored them 20-9 in the five games. The Rivermen penalty-kill nullified a pair of
5-on-3 chances and finished 6-for-6 to run their streak to 30 consecutive
first 5-on-3 came less than two minutes into the game and almost immediately after the kill was
completed the Rivermen jumped out to the 1-0 lead. The line of rookies all touched the puck on the
goal when Anthony Nigro scored his second of the year from Stefan Della Rovere
and Tyler Shattock at 7:20 of the first on a wrist shot over Alec Richards.
than a minute later on the power play, at 8:06, Derek Nesbitt scored his second
goal in as many nights. Mink and Nathan
Oystrick assisted on Nesbitt's slapshot that glanced off of Richard's glove on
its way into the net. Nick Drazenovic tallied
the final goal of the period at 13:00 from Mink and Adam Cracknell after
forcing in a loose rebound.
Richards was pulled after 20 minutes of play and former Rivermen Hannu Toivonen
replaced him after three goals on eight shots.
Rivermen were outshot again in a scoreless second period 10-7. Rockford's Kyle
Hagel and Simon Danis-Pepin each received 10 minute misconducts in the frame.
Rivermen were on the board again early in the final frame just 1:17 in on their
first shot of the period. Oystrick's low
wrist shot from the point was tipped through the five-hole by Mink for his
seventh of the year, tying him for the team lead with Drazenovic. It was Mink's
team leading 18th point on the year and third point.
next shot on net also found the back of the twine off the stick of Mark
Cundari. Cundari's flipped backhand found the top shelf and fooled Toivonen
giving the Rivermen a 5-0 lead at 2:43 of the third. Ryan Reaves and Derek
Peltier assisted on Cundari's fourth of the year.
Rivermen travel to Grand Rapids and play the Griffins for the first time this
season on Sunday at 3 p.m. The game can be heard locally on 96.5 ESPN
Radio or online on www.rivermen.net.

Deep Chandra images have revealed weak shock fronts in the intracluster medium produced by an outburst from a central AGN in several clusters. The two largest shock fronts found so far, in Hydra A and MS0735.6+7421, encompass regions ~300 kpc in radius and closely surround the large radio lobes that drive them. A spherical hydrodynamic model gives estimates for the Mach number of the (aspherical) shock front in Hydra A in the range 1.2 to 1.4, and ranging from 1.4 to 1.6 in MS0735.6+7421. The ages of the outbursts are 136 My and 104 My, and their total energies are ~ 1061 and ~6 \times 1061 erg, respectively. The mean mechanical powers of the outbursts that drove these shocks lie in the range of quasar luminosities. The shocks are significant for the energetics of cooling flows and for preheating of whole clusters. The shock flows reveal the history of the AGN outbursts. This work was partly supported by NASA grants NAS8-01130 and NAS8-03060.

The recent Air & Space Conference near Washington, D.C., was an incredible display of some of the finest defense technologies in the world. Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) showed off several products, including a giant three-dimensional long-range radar system, which will be used by the Air Force for mobile, long-range surveillance and ballistic missile defense.
The Motley Fool's roving reporter Rex Moore was at the conference, and talked with Lockheed's director of ground-based surveillance radar, Mark Mekker. In this first of four installments, Mekker explains exactly what this 3-D system is capable of.

LCOOCC recovers from devastating fireNov 6th, 2012 | By rburns | Category: 24-2: The Future of the Tribal College Movement, Tribal College News
On June 1, a devastating fire struck the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Community College (LCOOCC, Hayward, WI). Thanks to constant practice of fire drills, everyone was quickly evacuated, and, thankfully, no one was injured. Confined to the college's 700 Wing, home to the Extension Department, the fire was quickly contained, but not before smoke and water seriously damaged the 600 Wing (which contains faculty offices) and caused lesser damage to the 500 Wing (containing a combination of faculty offices and classrooms).
Approximately 40% of the college was damaged to some degree by the fire. Fortunately, during the summer months, LCOOCC is on hiatus, so the loss of space did not have as negative an impact as it might have had during the school year. The tribal college also had time to adapt to the new situation. If there is one thing that tribal colleges have proven over the years, it's that given the time to adapt, they come out strong.
LCOOCC is no exception and the tribal college is using the fire as an opportunity to rebuild from the ground up, to replace what was lost with a more cost-efficient space. While the timeline for reconstruction has yet to be established, LCOOCC is hoping to be back up to full capacity in short order. In the meantime, the tribal college, through innovative use of existing space and the dedication of its employees, will open for Fall Semester with a full and complete schedule of classes.

Report: Breaches in the cloud illustrate need for stronger authentication
As organizations increase their reliance on cloud-based services, collaboration tools and enabling users to access networks, the number of security breaches is on the rise. A new study by Forrester Research shows that more than half of the 306 companies surveyed (54 percent) reported a data breach in the previous year.
The report, « Enhancing Authentication to Secure the Open Enterprise, » was conducted by Forrester late in 2010 on behalf of Symantec Corp. The vendor wanted to evaluate how enterprises are evolving their authentication and security practices in response to changing business and IT needs as exemplified by cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) adoption, the business use of Web 2.0 services, and user mobility trends.
Password issues are the top access problem in the enterprise, according to the study. Policies on password composition, expiration, and lockout that are put in place to mitigate risk have become a major burden to users, impeding their ability to be productive. They also result in help desk costs due to forgotten passwords.
The Forrester study recommends that organizations implement strong authentication throughout the enterprise, not just for select applications.
Yes, some fears about the cloud are real concerns: maturity of the market, security issues, privacy, and so on. But some are over-stated.
For instance, in the study above, the cloud is not responsible for security breaches. The author clearly ride on a buzz word. We are in the era of the entreprise 2.0, connected with its suppliers/ contractors, its clients, with remote desktop, remote servers, VPN, mobile access, internet access, outsourced IT maintenance & support, etc, and finally cloud apps. It is more a question of access management in the entreprise 2.0: create a clear profile & security attributes for each type of user; and it is also a question of authentication management (SSO, policies, process).
So don't focus on the 'Cloud buzz word': a lot of articles title with 'Cloud' but wrongly spread anxiety by discussing the issue of something else.

Indoor Micro Old Fogey
I'm new to RC and newly retired and been reading like crazy here and flite test to learn. Joined AMA and local RC group. Bought a DX 6i, bought a Bixler and HK 109 and then discovered $ Tree building. Decided to learn to fly on home-built and low cost planes first. Built a Nut Ball, Baby Bixler and 2 Old Fogey's.
I really like the Old Fogey shown on flite test so I built one and waiting for good weather to maiden. Decided to build something for indoor flying and realized a 50% Old Fogey might be it.

The finished Half-a-Old Fogey has a wingspan of 18 1/2" and length is 15 1'2". I don't have a gram scale, but on a mechanical postal scale the fuse and wing weighs 2 oz (57 g.).
I want the slow-flying capabilities of the plane to fly indoor. I have installed 2 HXT 500 servos staggered because the inside width of the fuse behind the wing is only 3/4". I managed to widen this to 1 1/4" using servo trays.
I plan on using a HK orange receiver.
What I need is some expert help in selecting a motor. I hope to fly on a 2 cell. A Nanotech 2s 300mah battery give a total weight of 3 .5 oz (99.2 gs.). HobbyKing lists the Turnigy 1811 brushless 2000 kv for a 150 g indoor flyer. Will mount to a ply firewall and use a 10 amp Red Brick esc so I should be under the total wgt.
I've only flown twice on a Buddy Box on a Bixler, but both flites were fine. Been flying Phoenix 4 this Winter and getting ready to solo.
Is motor and battery size OK for slow flight indoors or do I need to go bigger?
Thanks for your help.

Those little 1811 2000kv motors are quite powerful but just be aware that the wires are pretty thin and brittle, I broke a few of them with very light landing bumps, too many in fact, a tip is to find the smallest cable wrap/tie that you can as and secure the wires to the motors pillar. I can't really tell you if it will be fine for your plane , but on 2 cell a 6x3 prop will give around 150g of thrust and a 5x3 around 105g.
Welcome to the world of RC flying and it's wonderful community.Congratulations on making it to retirement and joining the AMA(you should join the NRA to while you're at it LOL) Joining a flying club and buying a great Tx and a few planes. Now you are ready for some fun times.
NOW you've discovered building your own plane (look at foamy scratch building ) Now you're going to have real fun making your own planes and watch them fly away!!! Good for you and as I say to all " Have a good time all the time" enjoy your wonderful world of rc flying
Have a look at the micro and indoor plane section and look for MTNFLYR's (Pete)builds of WWI plane albatross, Fokker D-VII and Fokker D-VIII along with Speeidie01 Gene they can inspire you to try some of those.Also Jingjing's Sopwith triplane kit laser cut a must to get.
Indoors @ 18" WS, 50g, is better than 100g.
Champ. Champ. Champ.
It's better to buy a bulletproof indoor plane that teaches you to fly for $75 than building a series of $30 planes that crash and break every flight.
When it does eventually break, use the Champ guts to build lightweight indoor planes.
I personally would not fly a 100g, 18" plane indoors, unless it was a Football stadium/golf dome. My 80g 18" planes are too fast for a gym.
It would be way too fast and have too much KE for a gym... it will shatter when it smacks a wall or the floor.
Here are some recommendations:
Remove the paper or use 3mm Depron, which is available at many Hobby shops.
Exchange the HXT500 servos for 2.0g or 1.7g servos. Move the servos forward of the CG to avoid having to use a heavy battery to balance.
Use a R415 RX. It is Plug/play with the 1.7g/2.0g HK servos.
If you want to use 2S, a 5g HTX motor, 5030 prop and XP7a ESC is a lightweight combo that will fly 8 minutes with a 200 mAh battery.
Shoot for an airframe weight of less than 30g Max and 25g for electronics and it won't be a white knuckle experience.

As others are saying, lighter is definitely better if slow flight is your aim. I'd have expected a total, ready to fly weight of not much more than your bare airframe weight - much in line with what UNGN is saying.
It takes a while to get your head around such lightweight building (I'm still working towards it) but you need to consider that the lighter a model is, the less inertia it has, so the less damage there is in a mishap. Build to fly, rather than to survive a crash, and there's less chance that it will crash. In other words, get rid of every gram you possibly can and still end up with a rigid airframe. If it isn't going to hit things very hard, it doesn't need to be particularly strong.
Shoot for a AUW of 50g or less assuming 5g for the battery, 4g for the brick and 7g for the motor/prop (about 35g left for the Airframe with pushrods)
with 3mm Depron and sanding, a 40g AUW should be possible.

James Franco Helps a Fan Get Back at Her Ex in the Cutest Way Possible
James Franco has been labeled everything from pretentious wannabe artiste to Hollywood heartbreaker. But today, the world fell a little bit in love with the adorable guy who helped cheer up a broken hearted teen. According to Us Weekly, the actor recently did a photo shoot in a private Beverly Hills home where 15-year-old Greta Pasqua lives with her father. During the shoot, Franco learned that Pasqua's boyfriend had just broken up with her and she was feeling really depressed. When the 35-year-old charmer found out, he gave the girl a pep talk and planned out some revenge for the boy who broke her heart.
According to a source, the duo took a photo together where Franco wrapped his arms around Pasqua and looked dreamily into the camera. He then advised Pasqua to post it on Facebook, where her ex (who is a huge Franco fan) would see it. Afterward, the source revealed that, "Her ex is all of the sudden starting to think he made the wrong decision!"
Aw James. What a cutie!
Watch out for Franco when his next film, Homefront, hits theaters this November, and check out the awesome revenge photo of him and Pasqua here.
