Anyone here unicycle?
I'm trying to learn because we have a couple at work...for some reason.
Shit's hard! And the brusing on my thighs... fuck!
Or maybe just stick to snowboarding....
I'm 22 and have been riding a unicyle off and on for 10 years. My dad got me one for xmas when I was 12. Took me a few days but I figured it out. Just came sorta natural.. No other kids in the neighborhood could do it. Even kids who were way better at skateboarding then me. I can bunny hop up curbs, do 180's, ride backwards, bunny hop from side to side. Though it's been awhile cause my Uni has a flat tire
I tried it a few times, could go forward, but never rode backwards or hopped it. I come from a flatland bmx background so it looked like fun. There's some amazing videos out there of freestyle unicycling by the way.
Yeah Dan Heaton, of syko productions has produced the best footage out there for unicycle videos. flat land BMX, skate boarding, snowboarding all require similar muscle groups, balance and also the same lack of sense of self preservation, ha! It was always the road cyclists and the mountain bike guys that thought they had it figured out and would get bucked off. I later became an avid road cyclist so i can make fun of roadies all I want.
i started riding a uni a couple of years ago. it takes a couple days to figure out, but when you do it so much fun. really use your arms to balance and steer
There's these two kids in my town who are both twins, both unicycle, and also look like mini versions of those two albino henchmen from The Matrix: Reloaded. It's epic.
^^ run !!! :eek:
My son and I have been attending a unicycle club most Sundays for about a year now. He picked it up quick and is learning tricks and playing basketball on the uni now. I'm just getting the hang of it and building my endurance. Tennis courts are a great place to practice. Try to hook up with other riders if you can...it adds to the fun!

Officials at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in Charleston told The Post and Courier of Charleston says they tested 68 operating room staffers last month after finding surgical-site infections in five out of 1,500 patients.
The employees who tested positive for the presence of a common staph bacteria were kept out of work for a week or more while they took antibiotics.
Doctors say all the patients with the infections have recovered and may have gotten the staph bacteria after leaving the hospital.

I'm scared and a little stunned, because I've come to know that nothing good comes of my father raising his voice and asking us questions he doesn't expect us to answer. My brother just smiles up at him and slowly, albeit too slowly, turns down the volume. You can still hear Johnnie and Joe talking back and forth.

I have all but Network Controller.. The Details given on Device manager is :: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1043&SUBSYS_25818086&REV_04\4&167
I have looked at the Toshiba archived files for the M2 and the Intel site but cant find what is required.
Can anyone please help and point me in the right direction.
Tecra M2 PTM20E-01LOC-7D
Something like this one.
Tecra M2 (PTM20E-4MP19-EN)
All the downloads for that model (and others in part-number family PTM20E) are here.
If you have access to the recovery disc, follow the instructions in the User's Manual attached to restore the hard drive. All of the drivers and utilities will be properly installed.
If you elect to install Windows XP instead, you need to be careful to install those downloads in the correct order. Otherwise, the same problems will arise again. Start over with a clean install of Windows XP.
Install the chipset software followed by the display driver prior to any other driver. Install the Common Module before any other Toshiba utilities. I have attached the order Toshiba recommends.

Honda, GM, VW Debut Hybrids at Detroit Auto Show
Honda, GM and Volkswagen are among the automakers showcasing environmentally friendly cars at the Detroit Auto Show, which opened yesterday.
The annual expo, with features more than 500 concept vehicles, cars and trucks, continues previous years' trends towards more electric and hybrid vehicles with greater fuel efficiency. Here are some show highlights:
- On Monday, Volkswagen debuted a plug-in hybrid diesel concept SUV with two electric motors, the LA Times reports. The CrossBlue will likely make it to the US market in 2014, according to the newspaper, and targets other family crossovers including the Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango and Nissan Pathfinder. The total output on the six- or seven-passenger vehicles is 306 horsepower.
- Via Motors unveiled two electric vehicles, the 800-horsepower X-Truck and a Cadillac Escalade, both of which get 100 miles to the gallon, according to International Business Times. The car company — owned by former GM vice chairman Bob Lutz — buys GM cars and converts them into EVs. Via cars already feature in PG&E's utility fleet in California, the newspaper reports.
- International Business Times also says GM this week will showcase its first luxury plug-in hybrid: the $60,000 two-door 2014 Cadillac ELR.
- The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with an alternative-fuel option, AutoBlog reports. The blog says Chrysler expects the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 will deliver 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. It gets 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 on the highway, and has a range of up to 730 miles on a single tank.
- Also at the Detroit Auto Show, automotive battery supplier Johnson Controls introduced its 48-volt Micro Hybrid battery demonstration module (pictured). The system involves a low voltage lead-acid battery and a 48-volt lithium-ion battery.
- And Honda Motor Co. will show the latest concept version of its 2016 Acura NSX sports car, which Automotive News reports has one of the world's first high-output hybrid drive systems. The two-seater will enter production in two years.
Reader Comments
"…X-Truck and a Cadillac Escalade, both of which get 100 miles to the gallon…"
Unless both of these vehicles are hybrids, I don't understand how an electric car's range can be quantified byI the term 'miles to the gallon'. I assume this wording came from the Via Motors press release which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that the number is at all accurate.
Instead, how about the following term; miles per charge.

The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ms Christine Lagarde, will today discuss with President Goodluck Jonathan 'the comprehensive agenda' that the government is formulating to tackle its economic challenges, dependence on oil and the need to accelerate job creation.
Also likely to be discussed, is the planned oil subsidy removal that cost Nigeria about N1.3trillion this year.
Another topical issue that will be in the front burner is the deregulation of the downstream sector of the oil industry which will allow new investments and development of the Nigerian economy.
In Lagos this evening, Lagarde will be hosted to a dinner at Eko Hotel by Women in Business (WIMBIZ) dinner at Eko Hotel.
In her Oped entitled: It's time to showcase a confident continent, she said the IMF is ready to support African countries' needs in the core areas of its expertise – policy advice, technical assistance (including through four regional centres on the continent), and lending programs tailored to individual needs (and carrying zero interest rates through 2012).
Noting that the overall outlook for Africa is bright, she said there is still a lot of work to do.
Africa, she said, is on the move, while several other regions of the world have to address slowdown and uncertainty. "Many countries in Africa have been facing a contrasting challenge: to respond to the growing demand for their bountiful resources and manage rising investment in much-needed infrastructure investment. At the same time, growing economic uncertainty in the world is raising concerns across the continent, where vulnerability to global shocks remains high," she noted.
Given these developments, she said her first visit to Africa as head of the Fund could hardly be better timed.
Lagarde, however, said that Africa's natural resource wealth is attracting rising foreign investment to help develop and extract those resources. "Domestic and foreign investment is increasingly addressing the large infrastructure gaps that many countries still face. And spending in the social sectors, while still insufficient in many countries, has been rising steadily – reflected in better health and education outcomes,"she said.
Besides, she noted that in Sub-Saharan Africa, growth has averaged five to six percent a year over the past decade. "That is good— but not good enough. In particular, the management of natural resource wealth poses both economic and governance challenges that will need to be addressed to ensure sustained and inclusive growth, and decisive progress in poverty reduction.
"It will be important to ensure that the benefits of growth are shared and that it fosters job creation. It will also be important to promote the development of financial sectors, which remain shallow in many African countries. Indeed, innovative solutions to foster financial sector development could be a spur to much needed growth, not least by strengthening financial ties between Africa and its partners, the IMF boss stressed.
She is billed to visit Niger, and South Africa. South Africa is closely integrated with global capital markets and global economic uncertainty has a particularly direct impact on the South African economy, including its labour market.
First-hand experience of key issues in each of these countries, she said, would help her understand where and how the IMF can best offer its assistance to Africa.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tonight's Debate: "We'll See If Paul Ryan Owns Up To The Facts... Or Runs Away And Lies"
Mitt Romney absolutely manhandled Barack Obama during last week's first presidential debate. First, the Mormon Miracle-worker stunned the Prez by flip-flopping on his $5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Then he flogged Obama with falsehoods until Big Bird silently wept off-stage. But tonight's vice presidential debate is a whole 'nother ballgame. At least that's what Democrats are hoping. South Florida congresswoman and DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says that Joe Biden is going to flip the script on the disastrous first debate.
"I expect Joe Biden to show up and talk about what's important, about continuing to move our economy forward," she says. "As for Paul Ryan, we'll see whether he continues the say-anything-to-get-elected pattern that he and Mitt Romney have fully embraced in this campaign."

"Both Vice President Biden and Congressman Ryan are experienced, excellent debaters," Wasserman Schultz continues. "They are going to come together and talk about the important issues of the day. The big question is going to be whether Paul Ryan continues the lies that Mitt Romney clearly engaged in from last week."

"Paul Ryan's speech at the convention was widely criticized for being patently dishonest," she points out (as we did). "So, is he going to continue to run away and lie about their $5 trillion tax cut plan that increases taxes on the middle class? We'll see if he owns up to the facts that he and Mitt Romney have a plan that turns Medicare into a voucher system and increases premiums for seniors by more than $6,000."

Wasserman Schultz also weighed in on the steaming pile (our words) of a performance Obama left on stage last week.
Mitt Romney lied his ass off during the first debate. Will Paul Ryan continue the trend tonight?
Jacob Katel
"It was kind of astonishing that the only example Mitt Romney could give of something that he would cut... was NPR and firing Big Bird," she says. "The respect that he gave this problem was a throw away line."
Despite the first debate, the congresswoman -- whose District-20 stretches from Fort Lauderdale down to Miami Beach -- says she isn't worried about polls that now show Romney with a lead in Florida.
"We've always known that this was going to be a close election," she says. "Florida always goes right down to the wire. I expect it to be exactly that way over the next [month]. We are an important battleground state."
"I think the choice is going to be very clear for Floridians," she adds, "and President Obama will win Florida once again."

USA Today editorialized this week against the rank McCarthyism of Rep. Michele Bachmann and several of her colleagues. PFAW's Right Wing Watch has covered the representatives' letter, which cited professional Islamophobe Frank Gaffney as it sounded the alarm about Muslim Brotherhood penetration of the US government and urged an investigation of Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Says USA Today:
Their letter is a masterpiece of innuendo. Abedin, a U.S.-born Muslim married to a Jewish ex-congressman, is suspect because she "has three family members … connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations."
Even the innuendo is thin: Pressed for proof, Bachmann wrote that a law review article said Abedin's father, who died when his daughter was a teenager, founded an institute that had the "support" of a man who headed another group that was "aligned" with the Brotherhood. This is two decades and several degrees of separation from Abedin in 2012, but that's how a guilt-by-association smear works. Like all cheap magic, it loses its power once you know the trick.
Well put, but one small quibble: the editorial was headlined "Bachmann's Islamist scare relaunches McCarthyism." In fact, right-wing McCarthyism has been thriving since President Obama's election, as documented in PFAW reports here and here.
Mitt Romney traveled to Europe last night, and flew right into a political mess. Romney's campaign is running away fast from a comment made by one of the candidate's foreign policy advisers to Britain's The Telegraph:
One of his advisers told Britain's Daily Telegraph on Tuesday that Romney is better positioned than President Obama to foster a strong relationship with the U.K. because of his "Anglo-Saxon" connection to the country. "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels the relationship is special," the unnamed aide said of Romney. "The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have."
The accusation that President Obama doesn't appreciate America's "Anglo-Saxon heritage" is a barely veiled racist attack against the president, not to mention the millions of Americans who are not descended from ancient Britons. Newt Gingrich was getting at the same thing when he accused the president of having a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview. Mike Huckabee was too when he said Obama grew up near "madrassas" rather than "going to Boy Scout meetings."
Unsurprisingly, the Romney campaign is now denying that the words were ever said (though they won't specify by whom they were not said, nor have they asked for a retraction). I hope they're telling the truth: the comment was massively offensive, and shouldn't be coming from anywhere near a major political campaign. But the Romney campaign's denials aren't really letting the candidate off the hook. That sort of comment calls for a strong rebuke, not just a tepid denial.
But I'm not holding my breath. After all, when another Romney surrogate, former George H.W. Bush chief of staff John Sununu said the president needs to "learn how to be an American" – another appeal to the popular right-wing idea that the president is some sort of foreign imposter – Sununu attempted to walk back his own comment, but the campaign was silent.
As it happens, Romney is in a similar situation with another of his foreign policy advisers, former Bush administration official John Bolton who went on anti-Muslim activist Frank Gaffney's radio show yesterday to defend Rep. Michele Bachmann's attacks on Muslim-Americans working for the U.S. government. Bolton's comments set him apart from prominent Republicans including John McCain and John Boehner, who have rebuked Bachmann's witch hunt. Yet Romney, who apparently will be only appearing for photo ops in London tomorrow, hasn't said a word.
Add this to the good news/bad news mix from the Supreme Court's healthcare decision: Because of the good news (Chief Justice Roberts voted to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act), we get the bad news that his standing among the nation's Democrats has significantly increased. This collective amnesia about who John Roberts is and what he has done is disturbing, especially since the direction of the Court is one of the most important issues upon which Democrats should be voting in November.
A new Gallup Poll shows wild fluctuations in Democrats and Republicans' assessment of Chief Justice John Roberts since their last poll in 2005, a change Gallup attributes to his role in upholding the Affordable Care Act. Roberts' approval rating among Republicans has plummeted 40 percentage points from 2005, falling from 67% to 27%. In contrast, his favorability among Democrats has risen from 35% to 54%. That the healthcare decision is a catalyst of this change is supported by a PEW Research Center poll last week showing that between April and July, approval of the Supreme Court dropped 18 points among Republicans and rose 12% among Democrats.
Yes, John Roberts upheld the ACA, but only as a tax. At the same time, he agreed with his four far right compatriots that it fell outside the authority granted Congress by the Commerce Clause, leaving many observers concerned that he has set traps designed to let the Court later strike down congressional legislation that should in no way be considered constitutionally suspect. He also joined the majority that restricted Congress's constitutional authority under the Spending Clause to define the contours of state programs financed with federal funds.
Just as importantly, Roberts's upholding the ACA does not erase the past seven years, during which he has repeatedly been part of thin conservative majority decisions bending the law beyond recognition in order to achieve a right wing political result. John Roberts cast the deciding vote in a number of disastrous decisions, including those that:
Oh, and then there's that little 5-4 Citizens United opinion that has upended our nation's electoral system and put our government up to sale to the highest bidder.
With a rap sheet like that – and this is hardly a complete a list – no one should be under the illusion that John Roberts is anything but a right-wing ideologue using the Supreme Court to cement his favorite right-wing policies into law.
Next term, Roberts is expected to lead the judicial front of the Republican Party's war against affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. Whether he succeeds may depend on whether it is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama who fills the next vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Although he voted to block the Senate from considering the DISCLOSE Act yesterday, Senator John McCain is usually a supporter of campaign finance reform. In an interview on PBS Newshour, McCain said that the astronomical contributions of Mitt Romney's major financier, casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, are particularly problematic because those contributions amount to foreign money influencing U.S. elections:
MCCAIN: Mr. Adeleson [sic], who gave large amounts of money to the Gingrich campaign and much of Mr. Adeleson's casino profits, that go to him, come from this casino in Macau.
WOODRUFF: Which says what?
MCCAIN: This which says that obviously, maybe in a round-about way, foreign money is coming into an American campaign, political campaigns.
Regardless of where Adelson acquired his billions, a new report by ProPublica and PBS reveals that Adelson's business dealings may have been improper or even illegal under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, complete with shady dealings with the Chinese mob and crooked politicians. As Think Progress summarizes, Adelson's operation in Macau may have been made possible because of payments to Chinese organized crime figures:
Among the junket companies under scrutiny is a concern that records show was financed by Cheung Chi Tai, a Hong Kong businessman.
Cheung was named in a 1992 U.S. Senate report as a leader of a Chinese organized crime gang, or triad. A casino in Macau owned by Las Vegas Sands granted tens of millions of dollars in credit to a junket backed by Cheung, documents show.
Cheung did not respond to requests for comment.
Another document says that a Las Vegas Sands subsidiary did business with Charles Heung, a well-known Hong Kong film producer who was identified as an office holder in the Sun Yee On triad in the same 1992 Senate report. Heung, who has repeatedly denied any involvement in organized crime, did not return phone calls.
Because Nevada gambling authorities forbid doing any business with organized crime, Sands's Las Vegas gambling licenses could hang in the balance. (Adelson and his company refused to comment for the PBS story.) But Adelson has other issues with his China operations.
Sheldon Adelson has pledged to give up to $100 million to unseat President Obama. But according to one of Adelson's friends, he could spend far more than that: "We think '$100 million, wow!' But it's a meaningless amount of money to [Adelson]."
The system we have today allows for single individuals to give as much potentially money – clean or dirty – as they want to buy an election. This isn't how democracy is supposed to work. Some sunlight is beginning to shine through on how Mitt Romney is benefitting from Sheldon Adelson's shadowy dealings, but the extent of unaccountable money in our elections runs even deeper. Without a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the people will be unable to stop secret contributions by special interests, no matter where the money comes from.
The DISCLOSE 2012 Act is a simple and seemingly-unobjectionable proposal that would require outside groups spending money in elections to disclose their donors and help inform the American people as to who is trying to sway their votes. Yet the proposal faces a slim (read: zero) chance of passage in the Senate this week. It even had partisan support when it was introduced first introduced in 2010 as a response to the Supreme Court's flawed Citizens United decision, and Republican support for general campaign-related expenditures dates back many years.
Not anymore. The Huffington Post notes that there are 14 Republican senators serving since 2000 who previously voted for disclosure, but today would rather protect the anonymity of wealthy special interests and corporations than shed light on the funders of today's endless barrage of attack ads.
These Senators have been whipped into line by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (who was undoubtedly whipped into line by wealthy special interests and corporations who write big checks to Republicans, and would prefer to continue to do so in secret). Senator McConnell himself has flip-flopped on the issue:
Sen. McConnell in 2000: "Why would a little disclosure be better than a lot of disclosure?"
Sen. McConnell in 2012: "[Disclosure is] a cynical effort to muzzle critics of this administration and its allies in Congress."
The Sunlight Foundation has put together a video "depicting" other Republicans' contradictory statements on the DISCLOSE Act. Watch it here:
The St. Louis based pharmacy benefits manager Express-Scripts told the Center for Media and Democracy today that it had terminated its relationship with ALEC. The move was confirmed by Express Scripts head of Communications David Whitrap.
The disclosure comes at the end of a busy week for corporate defections from ALEC. On Tuesday, Express-Scripts competitor CVS announced it was cutting ties, along with four other corporations, including Hewlett-Packard Co., Best Buy, and MillerCoors LLC. In a statement, PFAW Foundation President Michael Keegan applauded the news:
The decision by these five companies to leave ALEC is an important step to do right by their customers. Their competitors who have yet to quit should know that the American people won't forget who continues to underwrite ALEC's agenda at our expense. Fortunately, more and more corporations, nonprofits and organizations are withdrawing their memberships. As a result, ALEC's ability to push its dangerous agenda through our statehouses diminishes every day.
As more companies follow their competitors out of ALEC, the campaign to get corporations to ditch ALEC gains even more momentum. Those who stay with the organization will have to justify their support of an extreme anti-consumer agenda to their customers.
PFAW Foundation has taken an active role in exposing ALEC's stealth role in promoting conservative legislation at the local, state, and federal level.
A comprehensive list of the corporations who have cut ties with ALEC can he found here.
Sharia law and the Muslim Brotherhood are coming! Clearly that idea is ridiculous. Not even Rep. Michelle Bachmann believes that. She believes they are already here! On June 13, Bachmann, along with fellow Republican congressmen Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Thomas Rooney, and Lynn Westmoreland, sent a letter to the Inspectors General of the Departments of State, Justice, and Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, claiming that the Muslim Brotherhood has "operatives" within the US government. The letter attempts to link Muslim governmental officials to the Muslim Brotherhood and defames a number of American Muslim organizations.
Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, responded to the egregious accusations in an open letter today. Ellison points out that Bachmann and her allies took many of their claims from MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com, a website run by anti-Muslim activist Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy. Gaffney has a history of making unsubstantiated claims about Muslims, a number of which Ellison lists in his letter. For instance, Gaffney has claimed that Muslim Americans who run for office do so to wage "stealth jihad" and has "accused New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of 'corruption' and 'treason' for appointing a Muslim lawyer to be a judge." At the end of the letter, Ellison requests a list of all the sources Bachmann used to make these serious claims and asks that if the sources turn out to not be credible that the names of all accused be publicly cleared.
It would be nice if Ellison's letter put an end to the fear tactics and Islamophobic statements that have become far too common in the Republican Party, but that's sadly unlikely. Republicans, whose main focus is clearly the economy, somehow seem to find a new Sharia threat each election year. Has it really been two years since we first heard about the Park 51 Muslim Community Center?

SEATTLE -- Robert Andino homered in the ninth off Seattle reliever Charlie Furbush to give the Baltimore Orioles a 5-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night after starter Wei-Yin Chen flirted with a perfect game for more than six innings. Andino's home run was his first since May 7 and fourth this season. It ended Furbush's (4-2) streak of 22 2/3 scoreless innings, the third longest by a reliever in Mariners history.
Orioles 5, Mariners 4

A Dynamic Model of Teacher Labor Supply
The labor supply decisions of certified elementary and high school teachers are examined using data from a general longitudinal survey. A significant decrease in the teaching participation rate takes place over time after teacher certification. Previously unavailable marital and fertility variables provide new insight into reasons for this decrease. Descriptive statistics indicate that high-ability teachers choose to teach a smaller proportion of time than other teachers. A dynamic, discrete-choice model, which accommodates Serial Correlation in the wage process for teachers, is used to analyze responsiveness of the overall sample and different types of teachers to two potential types of wage increases.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Syria's military will "crush" armed rebels, President Bashar al-Assad's defense minister warned Saturday, as the regime shelled rebel positions in two cities and near the Lebanese border in a widening offensive.
Neighboring Turkey, meanwhile, set new rules of engagement Saturday after three shells from Syria hit Turkish territory. Turkey retaliated with artillery, as it has for the last four days, which Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said would be the standard response.
Davutoglu insisted that "we haven't taken a step toward war," but Turkey's threat to fire back for each errant Syrian shell was bound to keep border tensions high. Turkey is one of Assad's harshest critics and a key supporter of the Syrian opposition.

Why Economic Development as a Panacea for Middle East Problems is a Myth
We…know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That's why we plan to invest $1.5 billion each year over the next five years to partner with Pakistanis to build schools and hospitals, roads and businesses, and hundreds of millions to help those who've been displaced. That's why we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help Afghans develop their economy and deliver services that people depend on.
There are lots of people who would like their children to grow up to be suicide bombers or prefer piety to prosperity. Even though many don't think that way, they might be persuaded that radicalism is the best route to better lives. And finally, when people and rulers see no real way to achieve prosperity, both the governments and the masses will turn to demagoguery, scapegoating, and foreign adventures.

Yorba Linda High's seniors shaped the campus
Another herd of Mustangs is graduating from Yorba Linda High.
This one will be historic.
The Class of 2013 will be the first to graduate after four years at the high school, which opened in 2009 – firmly leaving its mark on the school's identity, traditions and campus.
Mackenna Morris, a senior and the Associated Student Body president, said a majority of her fellow 480 seniors have been together since Bryant Ranch Elementary. Leaving this extended family to attend Texas Christian University will be a weird experience, she said.
"We were so lucky to have the opportunity to build the tradition," Morris said. "I think we'll appreciate it a lot more when we've gone."
Principal Dave Flynn said this class "had to define, 'What are we?' and then set that example for the incoming classes, and you'll never see that again."
Aunita Hefzi, the senior class president, said as freshmen her class not only bonded with one another, but also with the sophomore class – which was the first graduating class here but attended ninth grade elsewhere.
"We had no seniors to look up to but neither did they," Hefzi said.
Founding students adopted a routine of hand-claps and foot-stomps called "The Mustang Stomp," and a call for sporting events of "I Believe!" followed by chants of "I Believe We Can Win!"
Shea Runge, the school's activities director, said the now-seniors got the younger classes to buy in.
"If the older-class kids don't care, then the younger kids don't care," she said. "In particular (with) this senior class, I think they've put in a lot of energy and effort into their school."
The four years in a brand new school has not been without hiccups.
During her freshman year, Morris remembered, the new quad flooded because drains weren't installed.
"It was Lake Yorba Linda," Morris said with a smile. "All the staff stood around and directed traffic around the lake. I'm sure quite a few people wanted to go swimming, but that wasn't allowed."
These seniors will be among the last Yorba Linda High students to remember classes in a village of portables, set up where the pool is now, and walking 10 minutes around construction sites during passing periods, or spending an entire day opening boxes of new musical instruments.
Bincins Garcia, the band director and the chairman of performing arts, will miss this senior class' enthusiasm:
"When they came here they were ready to grow, to really open the school, and it took courage because they didn't know what they were getting into."

Plus, inquiries need to stand out as different than orders. Then orders have several stages during the process. And there's also an "unread" state. Oy!

Best Bank - Mexico - Best Investment Bank – BBVA Bancomer
It is difficult to knock BBVA Bancomer off its perch as the
largest, most profitable bank in Mexico. The Spanish-owned
institution continues to win top marks all around among
analysts covering the sector. The success of its local
investment banking business this year only adds to its
strengths at a time when Mexico's credit cycle may
be on an upward trajectory.
The somewhat staid nature of Mexico's banking
system, which is essentially dominated by a handful of mostly
foreign owned institutions, may not make it the most exciting
story over the 2010-2011 period, but to be the number one bank
in this sort of operating environment is an envious position to
The country's financial system has proved its
mettle after emerging from Mexico's dramatic
economic downturn in 2009 relatively unscathed. More
uncertainties are on the horizon given the doubts over growth

New caliber.
Basically trying to provide .357ish ballistics in a smaller round with less recoil
Gives 6 round capacity in typically 5 round applications
Is a revolver round
I have not shot this round and I love the concept of it but the fact is I don't think it will catch on. Cost of ammo vs. .38 / .357 combined with untested performance will probably keep this one from really taking off.
July 18, 2008, 10:02 PM
Right now, as far as I know, the only guns available are the Ruger SP-101 and the Charter Arms Undercover. The Rugers are pretty scarce but some are out there. The ammo is pretty scarce as well but is showing up more now. If things catch on both guns and ammo will become more available just like every other round. New cartridges always take off to a few bumps in production but it eventually smooths out.
I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon as my gun arrives. With the ability to shoot .32 Shorts,Long, H&R Mag, Fed Mag, and even acp will be a very cool platform.

Test two is a polysemous word (a word with multiple meanings) where one meaning is a sentiment indicator. Try "kind" with Tweetfeel and you'll see the issue: It uniformly keys on "kind," a sign of positive feelings, where "kind" very often is used in the sense of "type" or "variety."
How do you disambiguate usage to fix this confusion? One basic step is to look at surrounding words. "A kind," "the kind," and "what kind" point to likely "type" or "variety" use.
Test three is sentiment analysis of messages with multiple opinion holders.
Try a search on words such as "said" or, on Twitter, "RT" ("retweet").
Here's an example of a tweet that was, indeed, misclassified:
Folks, this is how people communicate on social networks; it's "natural language." If you claim to do sentiment analysis, you have to handle it. Send the tweet + RT-response + RT-response to a Twitter sentiment engine.
The freebie toy tools may get tripped up by the language, and regardless, they likely won't distinguish the three opinion holders and their three opinions. They'll give an overall sentiment rating which, whether correct or incorrect, is wrong given that what seems a single message is really three.
Test four involves inability to correctly resolve sentiment object. Here's a tweet rated negative by a socialmention search on "oxtail":
The key to passing tests three and four is the ability to break messages into appropriate chunks, which may be phrases, quoted strings, or retweets within a longer message. For example, the folks from Conversition say that "Tweetfeel is meant to measure a subset of data around nouns," which I take to mean that it does focus sentiment analyses on searched-on terms.

Instead of players, we focus on a referee—English Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg, to be specific—who is accused of using a racial slur toward a player. As you can imagine, this is sure to spark an investigation.
In addition to this latest racism controversy, we also have updates on television deals, Kevin Strootman's price tag and Romelu Lukaku's loan spell at West Bromwich Albion.

Historical Traveler Reviews Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa Prague
Great Spa and restaurant, amazing palace from XVI century
I wanted to spend a nce romantic weekend in Prague with my girlfriend and a friend of mine told me about Tripadvisor to avoid bad surprises.....I have to say that I love it, and it is going to be my best travel agency since now on!!!! Anyway, I started to check here and there, mostly having in mind the four options somebody suggested me; Iron Gate, Hoffmeister, Four Seasons and Alchymist. Alchymist was givng us the best price and we liked very much their Web page. So we decided for The Alchymist. The first impression was really fantastic, being the Hotel done out of three different buildings from Baroque and Renaissance period; The first of the three houses is a kind of small Palace, with a courtyard full of flowers and even a romantic fountain with fishes. Since we arrived late in the evening, there were also two musicians playing nice melodies and few candlelighted tables were taken by Restaurant guests. I was a little disappointed by the fact that no doorman was standing at the main entrance, anyway one of the waiters of the restaurant came almost immediately to help us with our luggages apologizing that the bellboy was assisting some other clients who just arrived. At the reception; that is quite small but very nicely decorated, there was just one young guy who was anyway very friendly and helpfull in explaining us the services of the Hotel. To go to our roon, a De Luxe room that after I realized that means the smallest accomodation the offer (!!!) we passed through few different gotic vaulted rooms very richely decorated ( with even some fresco paintings ) and a strange collection of etnic, exotic and old objects that my girlfriend found intriguing but a little funny and that anyway surprisingly match with th eclectic atmosphere.
Finally in the room, beautifull and very rich, but not oversized as we hoped after checking the pictures in Internet, we called the nice guy at the Reception to book a table in a nice restaurant. He first tried t offer us the Hotel Restaurant, but hwe wantedto go out exploring the city, so he suggested Kampa Park, not too far on the river. Great location and dramatic view to Charles Bridge and very good food, but very expansive and, as we saw; mostly full of tourists!!!! I am sure they tip the receptions of the different hotels, anyway we were happy and a nice full moon helped the romantic setting.
The next day started in a very good way with a great breakfast in the magnificent Hotel dining room. Since the Breakfast wasincluded in the price, wr didn"t expected such great variety of nice food ( even freshly cutted smoked salmon ) and attentive service. Was a great way to started our day!.... At the reception, where we conplained a little about the size of our room, there were two nice ladies who offered us to change it for another one, but finally we didn"t want to pack again, and we decided to remain in our "" de luxe "" room that we liked anyway since the window was opening on a small couryard wih a nice fountain that is nice to hear. when you wake up...... So they offered us a discounted price for a treatment in the Spa.
After a long day walking around all Prague, the massage we had together in the Spa was really amazing, provided by two Balinese girls;
For dinner we stayed in the Hotel Restaurant, Aquarius, and it was everything perfect, including the live music played by the two Brazilian musicians;
Great stay in this unusual small hotel, that we suggest to any romantic couple looking for a romantic escape.
An absolute Gem
Situated in a quiet backwater yet close to the famous Charles Bridge and Castle, the Alchymist is all (and more) that it professes to be. The decor with murals and ceiling friezes together with the high quality furnishings reflect the flare and dedication of the italian owner. The staff give impecable though discreet service and the food would not be out of place in a Michelin Star Restaurant. With a superb indoor pool and spa, the Alchymist is an oasis of perfection. A most delightful experience.

I Love The Alchymist

Romantic stay...
I stayed in Alchymist Hotel with my wife for honeaymoon for 3 nights using their honeymoon package, when we booked it on last minute. It was really unforgettable experience for us since we arrived to hotel and meet very friendly staff and domestic atmosphere of this beautiful mansion, just few minutes from the famous Charles Bridge and with romantic view on Prague Castle. A Junior Suite was offered to us. We wanted to go outside to see Prague immediately upon our arrival, but actually our room was so nice and comfortable, that we stayed couple of ours in there finally...All this place has unforgettable atmosphere, feeling like in some fairy tale. Part of our honeymoon package was also dinner in Aquarius Restaurant where we met with professional service and food was actually fantastic as we could choose from rich offer of Italian/ Mediterean cuisine. Our 3- course menu was delicious.
We can only recommend this magic place altogether with their underground Balineese Spa treatment, which was also part of our package.
Already looking forward to spend there nice time on next year...

Outstanding Alchymist
My wife and I have just returned from a week in Prague where we stayed at the Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa. We were made to feel so welcome and we felt like V.I.P's. We knew from the website that it was a botique luxury hotel but this is an understatement. I surprised my wife by booking a car to pick us up at the airport, But surprised myself more i think when i saw a vintage rools royce waiting for us. This was only the beginning.
We had an overall great experience and an unforgettable one. nothing was a problem. the food was of the highest quality and for my wife (being a vegetarian) it normally makes things a little difficult, but the chef prepared some wonderful food and even prepared somethings that were not on the menu..
The room was comfortable and beautifully designed and surprisingly big for (from what i have been told) is a boutique hotel.Breakfast was a feast and the staff were friendly and very helpful and spoke great english. nothing seemed to be a problem . I would truly recommend you to stay and indulge in some luxury .. Even the swimming pool has a chandelier !!!!.
overall i cannot say enough good things about this Hotel. We have already made another reservation and will be going back to experience something very special. I even had my first Balinieese(excuse the spelling) massage...that alone is worth going back for. A big thank you from my wife and I
Mr Mrs Don Castor Bristol
Solid three star that's tries hard
My wife and I stayed at the Alchymist from April 24th through April 29th - 6 nights. Our very first impression of the hotel was through it's car service pick-up at the airport. We had arranged to be picked-up by their Jeep Cherokee. What a surprise it was when the driver who met us in the arrivals hall told us that we were in for a very special ride. It turns out that the Jeep was in for servicing and our "ride" to the hotel was to be in a 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. We felt like celebs as we were driven through central Prague to the hotel, where we were greeted by two hotel staff awaiting our arrival.
The hotel, owned by an Italian company, is an exercise in opulent Barogue-on-steroids style. Over-the- top would be an understatement. But it was a delightful treat to be staying in such overstated luxury.
The front desk staff were friendly and accomodating and handled our requests for dinner reservations and cultural performances tickets with great effiency. The room, at 240 Euros per night including breakfast, was well maintained with ample closet space and bathroom facilities. The absence of a tub in the bathroom was a disappointment, as was the bed, which was rock hard. Our room accessed a small courtyard which contained a fountain with no water and no seating area.
The breakfast, while served in a very lovely on-premises restaurant, was very sub-standard re quality and variety. Everyday was the same thing and I questioned the freshness of food because of it's sameness. The salmon was not as pink and fresh as one would like to see. Cheeses never varied from the very bland offerings, and the American-style eggs and sausages was very overdone - to such an extent that we never tried them. Coffee was cooked to long and tasted burnt. We even skipped breakfast all together twice in order to enjoy coffee and croissants at local cafes.
The Alchymist, directly next to the US Embassy, is in a very desirable location in Mala Strana. Remote enough to escape the mass of people in Old Town and Charles Bridge areas, but close enough to walk to all major areas. It's also very close to public transportation.
The Alchymist tries very hard to be a player in a crowded field of luxury hotels buts comes up a bit short. It's a solid three-star now in our opinion but has a way to go to become a four-star, particulalry in the area a breakfast service and consistency of room attendance.
If you are looking for something very different re style and close to all, but off the beaten path, then a short stay at the Alchymist may meet your needs.
Wonderful Honeymoon in The Alchymist!!
We stayed at this hotel for 3 days having just got married and I couldn't recommend it more!
It is located in the Mala Strana area of Prague which is very quiet and picturesque but only 5 or so minutes from the Charles Bridge and also near Prague Castle. The hotel is a 500 yr old palace and it really is very beautiful - as it was our honeymoon we stayed in the Alchymist Suite which was fabulous. The bathroom was enormous, with a free standing iron bath, large shower, two sinks and marble flooring with underfloor heating! (and a loo & bidet of course ;-)) We had an enormous 4 poster bed and the living room really was a living roon - plenty of room to sit and relax. We weren't sure what to expect for breakfast as we had heard a couple of mixed reviews, but we found it very good - there were a wide selection of hot and cold dishes and a good variety of bread, fruits, yoghurts etc.
The service was excellent - not obtrusive or pretentious, but very helpful and courteous. The style is very baroque with lots of gold paint and quite over the top, but so much so that its just great! They have a Balinese Spa which we used and the therapists were very good (we both had massages). There is also a Sushi Bar located in the spa and it is some of the best sushi I have ever had - I really enjoyed it and the chef is excellent. All the staff in the Spa are lovely and its a great place to relax. The pool wasn't ready yet, but that didn't bother us.
We had our wedding dinner in the Alchymist Restaurant which is in their sister hotel 5 mins walk away. It has the same decor and is really great - over the top with some fantastic designs and pieces of work. The food was excellent, the service was perfect and the bill was not too outrageous for the type of meal we had.
The hotel bar is quite small - there were 10 of us in there at one time and we pretty much filled it, but again it was lovely and there are plenty of bars nearby.
Overall, we were really delighted with hotel and restaurant and would highly recommend it - it made for a great wedding and honeymoon!
Staying at a 500 years old Palace!
Located between the Charles Bridge and the Castle opposite of the U.S. Embassy this 500 years old Palace is all you look for! Even an Asian Spa with ladies from Bali! Very friendly staff. Perfect stay.
Excellent but a little pricey
Just stayed 3 nights at the Alchymist and loved it. It is a very individual small hotel with pleasant staff. It situated in a quiet part of the town but having said that it is only 5 mins. walk to the Charles bridge. The only thing that let it down was breakfast which for the amount we paid was poor.
