Qt Attracting Interest Among Application Developers
A criticism often leveled at Qt (and GTK) is that there isn't a professional visual design tool, like X-designer for Motif, Java or Windows. Of course, developers can tap a multitude of free, open-source visual design tools currently available. Some of these tools have reached great sophistication, like Qt Architect, while others are languishing in the proof-of-concept stage, like viPyl. However, Trolltech AS is on the brink of releasing their long-awaited Qt Designer, a sophisticated, stable, and capable visual design tool, and I've just had the opportunity to play with a pre-release version.
There are three kinds of visual design tools: tools that generate code, tools that generate a resource file that's interpreted at runtime, and tools that interweave code and design. Qt Designer falls in the first category: the tool generates an XML file which is compiled into C++ code by a separate compiler, uic. An example of the second category is Glade, which produces XML files that
libglade reads (Glade can also produce C output). The best example of the third kind of visual design
tool is Visual Basic, where you can't separate GUI design and code design.
Each approach has its pros and cons. Generating C++ code means fast applications, but it's not flexible: If the GUI changes, the app must be recompiled. Run-time reading resource files offers all the flexibility you can ask for, but can be very slow. Users tend to expect dialog windows to pop up in less than two seconds! Writing the application code in the same tool you use to design the interface makes for rapid prototyping, but often leads to an incoherent application architecture, with the attendant lack of maintainability.
Visual design tools, whichever kind they might be, sport much the same interface: a palette with widgets, a canvas to place the widgets on, and property sheets to customize the widgets. Beyond that, there are only differences in sophistication. Here are some of the characteristics that help us evaluate these design tools.
Moving from the broader set of tools to what's available in the Qt world, let's look at some of the basic characteristics of visual design offerings that predate Trolltech's Qt Designer:
Of these options, Qt Architect, by Jeff Harris and Klaus Ebner, is certainly the most mature. It offers good, albeit low-level, layout management support, and it's fairly easy to add home-made widgets to the palette. The most recent version saves its dialogs in an XML format. Qt Architect uses that xml file format only for saving dialogs; when the dialog is finished, it generates C++ code. The XML format is not suited for anything else: It would probably be difficult and certainly very time-consuming to have Qt Architect generate Python instead of C++, or use the XML files as a resource file for a running program. Qt Architect is not entirely stable -- very complex layouts can make the layout editor crash.
QtEZ is another well-developed project. Originally created by Sam Magnusson, it is now maintained by Jan Prokop. QtEZ offers a fairly complete environment for Qt/C++ project development, including generation of makefiles, source code editing, and dialog design. QtEZ also offers support for layout management.
Ebuilder, created by Ernie van der Meer, is said to be approaching version 1.0. I couldn't get it to compile, so I can say little about it.
KDevelop, by Sandy Meier and a team of dedicated developers, is another mature and complete C++ development environment. As a development environment, it's very good, with an excellent class browser, but the included dialog designer is quite primitive, and doesn't support layout management at all.
ViPyl and XML-Builder are interesting in that they try a different approach from source-code generation. ViPyl, by Henning Schroeder, tries to work in the same way as Visual Basic, by offering integrated code and layout design. ViPyl is based on Python, but unfortunately remains in a very early stage. XML-builder, by David W. Schere, uses XML files to generate dialogs run-time. It's Python-based and so old it used the obsolete PythonQt bindings instead of PyQt.

Qt Architect and QtEZ are certainly very good solutions, but Trolltech has long promised a GUI builder of their own, and they have finally delivered. The application needs the latest version of the Qt library: It makes use of the most advanced features, such as properties. Qt Designer can generate dialog windows, wizards, and general purpose widgets.
Besides the basic dropping of widgets on a canvas and setting their properties, Qt Architect offers the following features:
Figure 2. The QT Designer main interface (click for larger view).
Qt Designer's handling of layout management is especially clever. It hides a lot of the complexity of the mechanism by doing much of the work behind the scenes. For instance, margins are automatically added. This means of course that certain complex layouts can be difficult to achieve, at least more difficult than with Qt Architect. However, I find that the ease of use more than makes up for this lack of control, especially since the results of the automatic layout management are very pleasing aesthetically.
Figure 3. Qt Designer's handling of layout management is especially clever (click for larger view).
One very important design decision has been the separation of the designer tool and the user interface compiler, uic. In Qt Architect, the C++ generation code has been interwoven with the designer GUI, making it very difficult to replace the generator with one for another language. This decision also means that the .ui XML-file format is very sensible, which means that it can be handled with custom tools -- an important consideration in a corporate development environment.
As for third-party widgets, they are easy to include with Qt Designer. You don't need to enter any code, just to fill in the dialog shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Third-party widgets are easy to include (click for larger view).
The Qt signals/slots mechanism is supported in a very innovative manner. The developer simply draws a line from the signal-emitting widget to the signal-accepting widget. A box then pops up that shows all the relevant signals and slots, the developer selects the signal and the slot he wants to connect, and the connection is made!
People who have worked with Visual Basic know what an agony getting the tab order of the controls on a form just right can be -- there are a dozen third-party tools available, but it remains a finicky business. The Qt Designer solution is astonishingly simple: a small blue circle with a number is superimposed on all widgets, and the developer simply clicks on the widgets in the desired order. Likewise, the accelerator-checking option is extremely handy.
Figure 5. Setting the tab order of form controls (click for larger view).
Once a form has been created, it's very easy to preview the design in any of the supported styles (Motif, CDE, SGI, Windows, Platinum) -- there's no compilation needed, so the preview is instantaneous.
Another very important consideration is documentation. While I saw a pre-release copy, and the documentation wasn't finished yet, it was clear that the Qt Designer documentation is on the same level as the Qt library documentation. That means that it is well-written, in a fresh, engaging style, that it is complete, up-to-date and accurate. The documentation is written by Matthias Kalle Dalheimer, the author of the widely-acclaimed book "Programming with Qt".
Of course, there are some features missing, too. There's no real concept of a project -- every form is on its own, and there's no way to group related forms. This also means that it isn't possible to connect signals from one form to another. Qt Designer is capable of designing forms, wizards, and widgets, but it cannot design application windows. This means that there's no menu editor, nor a toolbar or status bar editor. But all these features are already planned for the second version.
The release of Qt Designer will invalidate one of the most serious objections to using Qt in commercial, large-scale development projects, namely that there is no professional, commercially supported GUI designer. Qt Designer is very stable, very easy to use and has some very innovative and very usable features. Importantly, the Qt Designer .ui file format is XML-based and has been sensibly designed: It will be easy to develop in-house tools to work with these files.
I've left the best for the last, though -- Reginald Stadlbauer, one of the Trolltech developers responsible for Qt Designer, assures me that Qt Designer will be included in the free edition of Qt, complete with sources. The definitive version will be released together with Qt 2.2, which is planned for August 2000.

What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are bulging veins that are abnormally dilated. Varicose veins are typically 3mm or larger in diameter. These dilated veins may be only cosmetic, or can cause leg pain, aches, swelling, heaviness, fatigue, itching, restless legs, and throbbing. Severe varicose veins may decrease circulation while causing changes in skin, inflammation, phlebitis, or even ulceration of the lower leg.
Normal veins have one-way valves that keep blood flowing toward the heart and lungs. A varicose vein has valves that are not functioning properly. Because the valves are not functioning the blood tends to pool in the vein, thereby causing an increased pressure on the wall of the vein. This refluxing of flow then causes the vein to dilate and increases in size over time. This can feed into other veins causing more varicose veins and spider veins.
What are Spider Veins?
"Spider veins" are small red, blue or purple veins that commonly appear on the upper thighs, calves and ankles. It is estimated that at least one third of the adult female population is affected by this common problem. People often seek treatment for cosmetic reasons. Spider veins can, however, cause physical symptoms depending on the severity. These symptoms may include aching, heaviness, stinging sensations, itching, and night cramps.
Spider veins may be isolated or associated with "feeder" veins. They can also be associated with larger underlying malfunctioning veins. It is always recommended to rule out the underlying cause if there are associated symptoms with spider veins prior to treatment. Typical treatments for spider veins are Sclerotherapy and superficial lasers.
What causes Varicose Veins?
There are many causes of varicose veins. The following factors may play a part in the development of varicose veins and spider veins.
Heredity – There is a significant relationship between heredity and the development of varicose veins and spider veins.
Age – The development of varicose veins and spider veins may occur at any age but usually occurs between the ages of 18 and 35 years.
Gender – Females are affected approximately four times more frequently than males.
Pregnancy – Pregnancy is a common factor contributing to the formation of varicose veins and spider veins. The most important factor is circulating hormones that relax the vein walls. There is also a significant increase in the blood volume during pregnancy which tends to distend veins, causing valve dysfunction which leads to blood refluxing (flowing backwards) into veins. Additionally, later in pregnancy, the enlarged uterus can contribute by causing higher vein pressure leading to dilated veins. Varicose veins that develop during pregnancy may spontaneously improve or even disappear a few months after birth.
Lifestyle / Occupation – People who are involved with prolonged standing or sitting with their daily activities have an increased risk of developing varicose veins. Simply by the gravity forces of the blood continuously pressing against the closed valves causing the valves to fail, and leading to distention in the veins.
A few lifestyle factors that may contribute to developing varicose veins:
- Prolonged standing or sitting
- Number of pregnancies
- Birth control pills / Hormone replacement therapy
- Obesity
- Chronic constipation
- Severity of menstrual cycles
- Heat
- Sedentary lifestyle
How can I prevent getting Varicose Veins?
Since there are multiple causes of varicose veins, prevention is somewhat difficult to determine. Below are some tips that may help in the prevention of both varicose and spider veins, and if you have varicose or spider veins, these may help slow their progression.
- Elevate your legs when possible.
- Exercise daily. Walking, climbing stairs, cycling and swimming help with the calf muscle pump action to prevent blood from pooling causing varicose veins.
- Move your legs frequently. Flexing your ankles periodically will also help.
- Avoid sitting without moving legs for extended periods of time.
- Wear support compression hose. These hose tend to reduce pooling and pressure on leg veins. They may also reduce the risk of forming a deep vein blood clot.
- Maintain your ideal body weight to reduce pressure on your legs. Avoid prolonged sitting and standing.
- Avoid excessive heat on your legs, such as hot tubs and hot baths.
Are vein procedures covered by insurance?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and not good with cats.
Based on 30 years of experience with rescue doxies, we have pretty strict criteria. Do you work from home/stay at home/work part time? Have a securely fenced yard? We do not place same sex in a home and children need to be 10 or older (some exceptions IF the dog is a puppy or the child has been raised with a doxie). We prefer no smokers and a home with no other small animals (ferrets, hamsters, etc) Cats are on a case by case basis depending on the dog. Remember these are rescues, many were surrendered because of these issues. All our dogs are fully vetted, including all shots, wormer & flea protection, nails trimmed, the works. They'll come with a basket of goodies, food, toys and a custom made harness. The adoption fee is $350, no exceptions as this covers the cost to rescue them, vet them and take care of them while in our rescue. It also helps towards the care of other doxies that come with huge vet or dental bills or need extensive behavioral training.
Dusty is waiting to meet you. Can you give him a happy, carefree life? If interested, please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.odr-inc.org and email it to: firstname.lastname@example.com - the adoption committee will be in touch with you within 48 hours so please be patient as we are solely volunteer run.
DUSTY, a Portland Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Portland, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Portland.

"It was signed just days after the passing of our Sen. Dan Inouye in his appropriations committee room," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell from Washington, D.C.
It was that emotional and unwavering support for Honolulu's rail transit, a pet project of the late Sen. Inouye, that Mayor Kirk Caldwell hoped would hold, even after federal budget cuts to programs nationwide.
"What a better way to show our commitment than to travel 6,000 miles to be here. We want to make that message loud and clear," said Honolulu Authority for Rail Transit CEO and Executive Director Dan Grabauskas.
Grabauskas, Caldwell and Honolulu City Council Chair Ernie Martin flew to D.C. to meet with transportation leaders and were greeted with support from both sides of the aisle.
"I think all individuals we've met have said this is one of the best-planned projects," said Martin.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood promised the Honolulu team, despite a $13.8 million cut, the money would be put back in upcoming years.
"It was very heartening to hear the U.S. Secretary of Transportation say you're going get all your money," said Grabauskas.
Caldwell said securing the $1.55 billion grant before sequestration was the key to ultimately keeping the money.
"All I can say is, man, we are lucky we had our full funding grant signed when it was signed. If we were on the other side of the equation now, it would be a very difficult time," said Caldwell.
Grabauskas said the budget hit shouldn't be a problem, with money from the state's General Excise Tax already buffering the project, but said they may need to borrow some to make up the difference.
"I think we're all eager to get back to work as soon as possible," said Martin.
Caldwell said rail construction should start up again this fall.
A HART spokesperson said the city may need to start selling bonds earlier than expected to help pay for construction this year.
Wednesday, the Honolulu team will be meeting with Hawaii's congressional leaders in D.C. before heading to Hawaii.

Jawlensky worked to develop his compositions from within rather than from without. "I am not so much searching for new forms," he said, "but I want to go deeper; not to progress in breadth but in depth." This searching for harmony and perfection reached its final form in 1934 with his series of Meditations. The head is now reduced to its most minimal components. Black lines delineate his framework of nose, mouth, brows, and eyes. This grid floats on a background of densely colored, almost tangible brushstrokes. It has been noted frequently that the black lines of the eyes and nose form the Eastern Orthodox cross. The human face has been condensed into a symbol of universal tragedy.

Last night's premiere of "The Bachelor" was the best in Bachelor history! It had just the right mix of drama, suspension, tears and laughter.
There were a lot of twists (which I loved); they needed to spice things up this season and the producers did just that.
Even Sean surprised me; he was such a gentleman and he also made up his own rules (I didn't know he had that in him). And two seconds into the premiere, I was on Team Sean and hoping that this incredible guy finds exactly what he is looking for at the end of this journey.
One of my favorite bachelor contestants, Arie, came to give Sean some words of wisdom. Their interaction was a little cheesy and Arie got another 5 seconds of fame (P.S. he is still in fact dating Courtney, Ben F.'s ex fiance) but I liked that the producers added some different elements to the premiere.
I was laughing so hard at Arie and Sean and their typical "dude" talk. Arie didn't really give any good advice but it was sure entertaining watching the two of them analyze how to kiss and what to say when Sean hands out the roses. It was nice to see that Sean and Arie are still friends and I hope that Arie can make another cameo this season.
We got a first look at some of the 26 contestants. I cried at Ashlee's introduction, the poor girl was in foster home after foster home her whole life. She seems like a really sweet girl.
I fell in love with Desiree, the bridal consultant. She was just cute as pie and I think Sean and her are going to get along really well.
I almost gagged at Ashley P. and how she kept reenacting 50 Shades of Grey (hello, it's a book). Sean is not Christian, and double hello, honey, did you watch Emily's season at all? I don't think Sean is that type of guy.
I also thought that Kristy, the model, was extremely stuck up and I loved that we saw her working out in a full bed of makeup -- typical.
And Tierra (the "Courtney" of the season) was equally as annoying. I can't wait to see how she gets along with the other girls in the house!
Sean looked so handsome in his suit and it was even more adorable how nervous he was right before the limos arrived. The contestants were all absolutely gorgeous and some of them were very clever with their opening lines and unfortunately some of them were not so clever (let's just say you could hear birds chirping, it was that awkward).
Surprisingly, most of the women were so nervous that they even forgot to give their names! I loved how Lacey gave Sean a lace heart and told him to keep it in his pocket so he wouldn't forget about her.
Desiree gave Sean a coin and they both made wishes in the fountain (seriously how cute was that?!?!).
I was dying when Kelly, the cruise ship girl, sang to him. It was seriously so incredibly strange.
Lesley doing the whole football thing was so overdone.
And Lindsay coming in a wedding dress was just too much.
Oh, and how could I forget about poor Robyn, trying to do flips to him and falling on her face!
Tierra made me cringe as she told Sean that maybe he could finish the heart tattoo on her finger, but it seriously worked. He gave her a rose right then and there. Gross!
I liked how Sean took control of his role as the new bachelor. He broke some rules along the way and if he felt a connection with a girl he gave her a rose. He didn't want to wait until the rose ceremony to do that. It did put a lot more tension in the air, especially for the girls who didn't get roses. Lindsay and Ashley P. both had one too many drinks and I felt like Sean handled both situations extremely well (it shows what a great guy he is).
And the mystery girl was Kacie B., the fourth runner up from Ben's season and boy did she look awesome! Even Sean said that she could be trouble. I hope they have a connection, I like her a lot!
The rose ceremony was different from any other rose ceremony because more than half of the roses were already given out. Sean made the right decisions though and I did feel bad for all of the girls that basically had melt downs at the end.
He kicked off Paige ("Bachelor Pad" contestant) Ashley H. (she was such a snore and looked like Jasmine gone mermaid), Kelly (cruise ship gal), Lauren ("lost girl" and parents own an Italian restaurant), Keri Ann (struggling looking girl who drove thousands of miles just to meet Sean), Ashley P. (50 Shades of Grey chick), and Lacey, (heart lace gal…sorta sad about this one).
I hope you all watched the credits rolling at the end because Ashley P. was SO entertaining…Boomski! Words of advice Ashley, keep the dance move and tie to yourself. Holy disaster!
This season looks like it is going to be the reason why we fell in love with this show to begin with! I can't wait until next week and if last night was a preview of what is yet to come, let's just say we are in for one heck of a season! Please check back at kitv.com for the inside scoop on Season 17!

Aldermen to consider plans to improve intersectionBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | July 12,2013The Board of Aldermen will discuss how much they want to spend on the corner of Wales, West and Church streets Monday.
Alderman Christopher Siliski said that a Finance Committee ended Wednesday with two versions of a plan for improvements at the intersection one estimated to remain within the $50,000 previously endorsed by the board and another that would add some additional improvements for another $30,000.
Siliski came to the board with a list of improvements he would like to make at the corner and a request to pay for them with $50,000 from the Zamias fund.
What he didnt have were cost estimates for the various improvements. The aldermen voted last month to set aside $50,000 from the fund, which was created from impact fees paid by the Diamond Run Mall and intended for improvements to the downtown, for the project once Siliski had specifics.
When City Engineer Evan Pilachowski drew those up, Siliski said, the total came to $80,000, and the Finance Committee had to prioritize.
For $50,000, Siliski said, the city would place new sidewalks and curbing on West Street across from the Community College of Vermont and along Church Street in front of the Longfellow Building. The estimate also includes a new storm drain at the corner.
It wouldnt solve the flooding problem we all know happens there, but it would help keep the flooding off that corner when there are heavy rains, he said. That corner is quite low. Even when there is normal rain, its under water, basically.
Left out, Siliski said, is the stretch of Church Street across from Longfellow.
At least, aesthetically, those cars (frequently parking there) are blocking the blight that is there, the lack of curbing, Siliski said.
Siliski has said he hopes to use the project as a pilot for a program in which the city makes infrastructure improvements at locations where significant private investment has been made in the city. He chose the corner because of the new CCV campus.

What's not to love about San Francisco in the spring time...nice weather, sunny skies, the colorful hillsides of the Marin Headlands...really, a photographers paradise!
Aperture Academy instructors Stephen Oachs and Ellie Stone met a group of 13 photographers at Baker Beach for a day of learning, shooting and fun. After getting to know each other a bit better during orientation we headed out to Baker Beach to a fantastic sky of high clouds and nice even sunlight bathing the Golden Gate Bridge. The surf could have not been more perfect, lapping at the beach and creating a nice smooth sandy foreground for strong compositions leading the eye out to the distance and up to the bridge.
With everyone getting a feel for their cameras we packed up and headed to one of the best locations in San Francisco for photography -- Fort Point. If you've never been to Fort Point, nestled tightly under the Golden Gate Bridge, you're really missing out. This is a war time fort build in the early 1800's and it's truly a stunning display of architecture. You could easily spend an entire day in the fort capturing it's many dark and interesting corners. But, we only had a couple hours so we made the best of the time we had, capturing images of the many never-ending hallways, spiral stairways and the famous "powder room". Our time in the fort allowed us to work on longer exposures as well and some really interesting compositions. We also worked with white balance and black and white options to add interest to our images -- I saw so much great stuff on this workshop on the students camera screens!
From fort point, we headed to a fun little lunch/dinner spot in Sausalito for a little break. After our break we made our way up to the top of the Marin Headlands which looks down over the entire San Francisco Bay Area...this has got to be one of the most famous views in the entire world and it never ceases to take our breath away as we crest the hill and peer down on all of the city, and Golden Gate Bridge.
Over the next 30 minutes we captured images of the Golden Gate Bridge, with San Francisco framed nicely in the distance. This was a good chance for everyone to work with higher aperture settings to ensure a sharp depth of field. As the sun began to set we got some nice color in the sky, on the horizon and so we adjusted our white balance to cooler settings and that helped us really pull some nice color into our images. The lights on the Golden Gate snapped on and then the fun really began...NIGHT SHOOTING! We shot about 30-40 minutes into the heart of the blue hour, taking advantage of some of the very best light of the day.
With many great images to reflect upon, the group packed up and headed back down the hill to the van...and one of the best parts of the workshop...Stephen locking the keys in the RUNNING van. So there we were, standing at the overlook parking lot, van running, keys inside...14 people OUTSIDE. Wind starting to pick up, sun is set so the temperature is dropping and the good news...the class is a great group of people and they laugh it off and enjoy another 30 minutes of night photography from the lookout as we awaited Triple AAA to come break into our van...and they did!
Back in the van, 30 minutes behind schedule, we arrived back at everyone's parked cars to say our goodbyes and put a wrap on another fantastic day of photography in the San Francisco Bay!
Until next time...Stephen, Ellie and the rest of the Aperture Academy team!
P.S. If you'd like to join us at one of our workshops, you can find the schedule/sign up here.

It is easy to read a book on photography, but it is another thing to put it to work in your own photographs. The staff at Aperture Academy are experienced, friendly and compassionate. Adjusting to individual skill levels and willing to do what ever it takes to make sure all attendees receive a personalized experience with helpful tips and tricks that get you that great shot and make you the envy of others. I highly recommend Aperture Academy to anyone, newbie or experienced, that wants to learn practical application of photography techniques, update their skills or just want get THE SHOT!!!
Mike Corbo - April 3rd, 2011 (11:08pm)
I really enjoyed this workshop I will definately recommend it.
Ellie Stone - April 4th, 2011 (12:23pm)
It was really great meeting you all. Looking forward to seeing you on some workshops in the near future.
Keep up the good work!
Steven - April 4th, 2011 (2:34pm)
Another great workshop by AA. Stephen and Ellie did a great job, very educational and a lot of fun. Even being locked out of the van turned into a good time!!
Troy White - April 5th, 2011 (10:05am)
I just wanted to thank the Aperture Academy for a GREAT workshop!! I cant say enough about the professionalism and kindness from both Stephen and Ellie... They made my 2 day trip from San Diego well worth it. I also came home with some amazing pictures! Thanks again and I'll be seeing you soon!!
Paul Komarek - April 12th, 2011 (11:33pm)
Another great workshop! I'm a professional photography student at San Jose State and trust me, the Aperture Academy workshops will blow away the college classroom instruction any day. Spend a quarter in a classroom or a weekend in the field and see the difference for yourself. Stephen and Ellie were great instructors on this workshop and look forward to the next workshop in Oregon next month.
Sunny Dhillon - April 16th, 2011 (9:55am)
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this academy by San Jose Camera team who understood my needs to enhance my skills in photography even though I have been doing it for over 25 yrs as an Auto Shooter. This worshop provided the knowledge and exposure to real time hands on training and understanding your camera, the object, the moments to capture. Stephen and Ellie are so skilled and proficent, which provided a greater confidence in the money spent and the skills learnt. In life, moments are to be captured and treasured and after this workshop I am definitely capturing them to its best. I have already signed up for more classes and looking forward to the educational edge I can attain in handling the camera, the time, moments and my objects.

Countries with nuclear weapons

North Korea is once again raising worries about the country's nuclear weapons program. But how many weapons does North Korea -- or any other country -- actually have?

No Fourth of July is complete without a parade, and Kailua may be one of the best places to show off your red, white and blue.
"I'm here for four things: freedom, liberty, beer and freedom," says a parade participant.
Others showed up to watch dozens of floats or just as an excuse to play in the street.
"It's really unique, everyone gets into it," says Howie Wells, a Kailua resident.
Wells has been coming here for 57 years. That's just 10 years shy of watching every Kailua parade. He says this longtime tradition has a small-town feel. Others say it's a community reunion.
"We often see classmates or friends," says Mark Tawara, a Kailua resident.
Most didn't seem to mind the heat.
"It was great this year. Last year was a lot hotter," says Tawara.
With dozens of floats, you can expect a few malfunctions. But none would stop this parade, not even a pile of poop. People simply went around it.
Click here to see more photos from the Kailua 4th of July Parade.
Perhaps the coolest setup outside of the parade was created by a family who brought their couches outdoors.
"I just think you got to be comfortable and we might as well put out the couch," says Mark Sage, a Kailua resident.
With all the festivities, we asked people what the best part of this parade was.
"I always like the marching bands, they were good," says Tawara.
"I don't know -- there's a truck right here that looks pretty good. I can't tell you," says Wells.
"I liked one of the politicians, the Corvette that they were on," says Sage.
Even though there are no losers in this parade, the real star of the day...
"Happy birthday U.S.A.," says a group of children.

This may be a stupid question, but what color is breast milk vomit. After reading all the posts, I've determined I have an oversupply and my 7 week old has been suffering from day one. He spits up constantly and in great volumne. I can't tell the difference sometimes if it's spit up or vomit. The doctor keeps asking me if he's vomiting and I'm not sure. When he does spit up or vomit it's either white like my milk or clear. Some spitups are small and others are forceful, but no projectile vomiting.
I have been feeding from one breast only because he gets so full. I will now try feeding him from the same breast for 2 feeding in a row. I hope that will help him get more of the hind milk.
One more question! He has been on Zantac for reflux, but I haven't noticed much relief. He seems to be in pain when he spits up but he doesn't cry all the time like most reflux babies. Could he have pain (acid) associated with my oversupply? I would love to stop giving him Zantac!
On a side note...I've notice he's extremely gassy and when he's straining to push out the gas he seems to spit up during those times. Has anyone else noticed this in their babies?
Thanks for any help you can provide?

Shostakovich's Orango restored to life in London(March 2013)
Music from Dmitri Shostakovich's unfinished political satire Orango receives its UK premiere staging by Peter Sellars, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
The Philharmonia Orchestra offers UK concert audiences their first opportunity to hear music from Dmitri Shostakovich's satirical opera Orango, a circus-style romp demonstrating the composer at the height of his powers.
Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the performance at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 16 May, following his premiere of the restored Prologue in 2011 by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and an acclaimed recording by the same forces for Deutsche Grammophon. The London performance, in Russian with English surtitles, will be staged by Peter Sellars and is coupled with the composer's Symphony No.4.
Originally planned as a three-act opera for the Bolshoi Theatre, Orango was abandoned by Shostakovich after the 32-minute Prologue, perhaps due to the librettists not delivering the remainder of the text, or perhaps because of the increasing political risk of a plot poking fun at many aspects of Soviet society and culture. Orango disappeared for 70 years until a vocal score of the Prologue was rediscovered in a Moscow archive in 2004. Gerard McBurney was invited by the composer's widow, Irina Shostakovich, to orchestrate the score, matching the instrumentation to that of the contemporary Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.
The Orango of the title is the result of cross-breeding between apes and humans. The original three-act scenario took the hybrid creature on successful careers as a First World War solider, a wheeler-dealer in Paris and as an anti-Communist international press baron. He is finally betrayed and sold to a Soviet circus and displayed to the Moscow masses. Rather than Orango being a monster, Shostakovich cunningly paints him in the Prologue as the most human creature on stage, surrounded by a wild circus of depravity.
"…a parodic farrago of cabaret, operetta and military music. Snippets of the composer's ballet The Bolt could be heard too, but what rang out most strongly was a sense of fearlessness. Hearing the aborted Orango is like getting an uncensored look inside Shostakovich's musical mind just before, following his denunciation by Stalin in 1936, politics infected every aspect of his career."
"The score is full of breezy numbers in Shostakovich's most overtly popular idiom, and its trenchant wit and seriousness of satirical purpose leave you wishing more of it had survived."
The Guardian
"… in Shostakovich's tartest, tangiest circus style…"
San Francisco Chronicle
Manchester plays host in March to performances of Cheryomushki, Shostakovich's musical comedy set in a new 1950s high-rise housing estate on the outskirts of Moscow. The RNCM production, staged by Stefan Janski and conducted by Clark Rundell, employs the ensemble version by Gerard McBurney and the English translation by David Pountney.
Latest publications in the Shostakovich New Collected Works are a full score and reduction of Cello Concerto No.2 and a collection of the composer's works for voice and orchestral including a number of rarities. For a full list of scores in the edition visit The Shop at Boosey.com.

Now you can fly to the old vine country and bring home the best wine the local vineyards have to offer. Introducing a new concept in travel protection and storage accessories, the VinniBag, an inflatable storage bottle protection bag that you can safely pack your breakable bottles and other fragile items in for the flight home. The VinniBag wine carrier portable storage bag simply inflates by human air power (you simply blow it up) and is ready to go in seconds. Your precious wine or spirits is protected and cushioned by specially designed air cushioning chambers.
Lay your VinniBag flat and slip your favorite bottle of wine or spirits or fragile sculpture into the bottom of the bag, and then center the item.
Next, open the valve at the top and blow air into the bag until it's partially inflated.
Then roll up the protector bag from the bottom and snap the buckle closed.
Tighten the strap as needed.
Top off with more air to achieve desired level of protection.
Then push the valve into the VinniBag until it is inverted inside the bag.
You should have enough air in your VinniBag that you will not be able to touch the contents through the plastic. Watch our VinniBag Inflation Instruction Video in the videos tab at left for further details.
The VinniBag wine carrier inflatable bottle protector storage travel bag is reusable, recyclable, stores flat and is transparent for easy TSA and customs inspection. VinniBag offers superior impact and leak protection. If your bottle miraculously happens to break, it will not likely leak its contents into your luggage. All VinniBags are engineered for altitude and temperature fluctuations so you can confidently pack it in your checked luggage.
Common uses for the VinniBag include:
Not just for bottle and nicknack protection, you can also use your inflated VinniBag as a:

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
One example of a successful breakout trade I recently flagged was TravelCenters of America
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Guess what happened? Shares of TA triggered that exact breakout following their earnings report on March 18 with heavy upside volume. Volume that day registered over 3 million shares, which is well above its three-month average action of 431,000 shares. This stock went on to hit a recent high of $9.82 a share, which represents a monster gain in a very short timeframe for anyone who played that breakout. Shares of TA are now setting up again to take out $9.82 a share, so we could still have more upside for this stock in the near future.
Breakout candidates are something that I tweet about on a daily basis. I frequently tweet out high-probability setups, breakout plays and stocks that are acting technically bullish. These are the stocks that often go on to make monster moves to the upside. What's great about breakout trading is that you focus on trend, price and volume. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else. The charts do all the talking.
>>5 Trades Getting Ready to Pop
Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been mastered by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. These pros know that once a stock starts to break out above past resistance levels and hold above those breakout prices, then it can easily trend significantly higher.
With that in mind, here's a look at five stocks that are setting up to break out and trade higher from current levels.

Assembly Bill 45 of 2009 authorized counties to adopt ordinances to provide for the installation of small wind systems (50 kW or smaller) outside urbanized areas but within the county's jurisdiction. The bill also addressed specific aspects of a typical wind ordinance and established the limiting factors by which a county's wind ordinance can be no more restrictive. Counties may freely make more lenient ordinances, but AB 45 was designed to establish maximum restrictions a county may impose if they choose to develop a small wind ordinance. These provisions apply only to county ordinances developed after January 1, 2011. Maximum restrictions in the following categories are specifically included in the bill:
- Tower height
- Acreage of land parcel
- Setbacks
- Public notice
- Noise level
- Visual effects
- Type of turbine used
- Tower drawings and line drawings
- Engineering analysis
These standards remain in effect until January 1, 2017. By January 1, 2016 the California Energy Commission (CEC) is required to prepare a report for various committees of the General Assembly detailing the number of local wind ordinances adopted after January 1, 2011; the number of applications to install wind turbines that were received and approved by those counties; and the tower heights, parcel sizes and the generating capacities of the wind turbines. The committees will consider these facts and any recommendations offered by the CEC to determine if these ordinance guidelines should be continued, modified or terminated.

The classic. Nothing is quite like the crispness, power and precision of camber at higher speeds. Ideal for aggressive riders and traditionalists.
The all-round performer. Far and away, this is our best-selling platform. Ultimate versatility comes from blending both rocker and camber traits to get a balance that offers both the stability of camber and the easy ride of rocker. Some boards in this category fall closer to a camber feel, while others ride a little looser like a rocker board. Find your balance and get a board here that does it all.
Flat from contact point to contact point for control and stability with a catch-free feel
Like waking up at noon on summer holiday. Rocker boards feature a reverse camber lay-up that is less-catchy, turns easier and sends the fun factor/high-five frequency into the stratosphere. These boards generally offer a more forgiving ride which is ideal for newer/casual riders, jibbing and easy style pow hounds alike.
Do it ALL. Wanna grab some pow turns up top, scream down a mid-mountain groomer and then hit the park at the bottom? THESE are your boards. Our best-selling configuration. Generally an all-mountain twin-tip, directional twin or minimal directional shape that's poised to do it all.
Tech freestyle supremacy. These twin tip boards generally feature a slightly softer flex and shorter contact points which make for boards that are slightly more maneuverable but still have the landing gear you need to grease park laps day-in and day-out. If park laps and hit runs are your jam, then this is where you live. If that last sentence didn't make sense, it's best not to look here.
Parks are where I walk my dog, the mountain is where I snowboard. Pow/Freeride boards quite often offer a distinct directional shape, featuring a tapering shape designed to provide the smoothest ride out on the mountain—whether it's first chair on a pow day or late afternoon when it's all bombed out. With options that range from resort freeride, slackcountry through to backcountry, the pow/freeride category is your go-to for riders not looking to ride the park and capitalize on the rest of the mountain.
Narrower widths mean lightning fast edge transfers and less fatigue for riders that have smaller feet. Suggested for all women's sizes and Men's 8.5 and below. Look for waist widths that are below 25cms.
Regular widths offer only critical measurements that will kill toe-heel drag, but also maintain proper response to keep turns quick and agile while not tiring you out. Ideal for rider with US Men's 9-11.5 feet. Look for board widths that are 25-25.5 cm wide, going wider as foot sizes get bigger.
Anyone with a size 12+ boot can tell you—toe/heel drag sucks. Kill the culprit with a wider waist board and get the freedom to turn as hard as you want. Riders with 12+ boot sizes will want to look at boards with waist width of an absolute minimum of 25.6cm and go up from there—going wider as foot sizes get bigger.
The fusion of street style with just the right bit of motion to move while on-hill. Generally wears true to size for street fit, consider sizing up for a snowboard fit.
The classic snowboard silhouette. Built with an equal respect for freedom of motion and modern styling. Generally wears true-to-size.
Loose fits offer the ultimate range of motion. Whether from an aesthetic or performance standpoint, these more generous silhouettes offer more room while still being ergonomically shaped.
A variety of different insulation types and weights work to keep you warm in various capacities. Especially useful for jackets doubling as street pieces on colder days. Lighter weights start at around 40g, whereas mid weights will be closer to 60g and up.
The ultimate in layering and versatility. Shell jackets can be run alone on warmer days, or partnered up with a variety of mid-layers to provide just what the doctor ordered in any condition.
Great for those situated in drier climates or spending a limited amount of days on-hill. Pieces in this category carry a waterproof rating between 5,000mm and 10,000mm.
Great for the recreational all-round rider that's looking to get it done in all conditions and climates. These pieces generally offer a 10,000-20,000mm waterproof rating that will get the job done day-in, day-out.
For those who demand the best. Pieces in this category are generally made of GORE-TEX, a laminate process that offers the best in waterproofing technology. When being dry is your #1, look no further. Price conscious customers should look for 2-layer pieces, whereas those looking for the ultimate in lightweight, performance waterproof technology should be on the lookout for 3-layer laminates.

Honesdale water now tastes great, or haven't you noticed?
August 24, 2011 —
If you lived in the Borough of Honesdale in recent years, you simply did not drink the tap water because the smell and taste was akin to rotten eggs. Now, that's all changed and the taste and smell are gone.
On Wednesday, August 17, public officials and media were introduced to the system of large blue tanks, connected by filters, pipes, gauges and hoses. It's all part of Aqua Pennsylvania's full-scale construction of a new $670,000 treatment facility at the Weidner Well on Water Street across from Sunrise Market, the main source of the borough's drinking water. The borough has four other wells but none as big and vital as Weidner.
"The new facility removes naturally-occurring hydrogen-sulfide, which can cause a rotten eggs taste and odor in water," said Nick DeBenedictis, chairman of Aqua Pennsylvania.
The special filtering system not only removes the smelly stuff, but also the iron and manganese which can cause the water to be discolored or appear rusty.
"This project is just one example of nearly $4 million Aqua will have invested in Honesdale Borough projects this year," DeBenedictis said. "In addition to the well, we've invested $3 million to replace approximately 18,600 feet of old water main. Last year, we invested $3.8 million to replace 23,000 feet of deteriorated water main in the borough. These projects are part of the $10 million of capital investment Aqua will have made to the Honesdale Borough's water system by year-end since taking ownership of the system in September 2008."
For a year now, the streets of Honesdale have been like mine fields, dug up, patched and dug up again. Some streets have been repaved.
Aqua's activity wasn't the only reason for the mess. The borough received a grant to separate the storm water system from the water system. Until recently, it was all one system, which is in violation of regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Leeward Construction, which has conducted both projects, is still doing the replacement project in the downtown business section. Work is yet to begin on High Street, the only connection linking the borough with residents on Golf Hill.
One positive feature was that the two projects provided numerous new jobs in the Honesdale area. Eric Linde of Leeward said at the event that the projects helped raise its employment numbers from 180 last year to 220 this year.

Evaluating Growth Stocks
Step 1: Where Do I Find Stocks With Above-Average Earnings Growth?
A growth approach to investing can help you find stocks with the potential for significant price appreciation, provided the firm is able to meet and exceed its growth expectations and you don't overpay for growth. This strategy produces very little return in the form of dividends and can be volatile because of the large role that expectations play in the pricing of these stocks.
Company Characteristics
Classroom Steps
Step 1:
Where Do I Find Stocks With Above-Average Earnings Growth?
Step 2:
What Numbers Are Important for Analyzing Growth Stocks?
Step 3:
How Do I Use Earnings to Place a Value on a Stock?
Growth companies expand at a rate above that of the overall economy. Practically speaking, however, the minimum benchmark for being classified as a growth stock is at least a 10% annual growth rate in earnings per share, with many investors requiring a 20% annual growth rate. To maintain growth rates this high over any extended period, capital spending is required, and for this reason growth stocks tend to retain most of their earnings, paying little or no cash dividends.
Promising growth stocks attract a great deal of attention, and therefore, prices tend to be bid up with high anticipation. High expectations relative to current levels of earnings lead to high price-earnings ratios, and it is not uncommon to see highly touted growth stocks with price-earnings ratios two to four times that of the market.

Woodson limited Knicks to just 7-8 players where bench is much deeper.
His minutes have gone way down and I don't know if he even started game 1 of this series. I think he came off the bench in the second half, near the end of the 3rd quarter I think. He also should have been put in in the last few minutes of Game 6 against the Celtics, not under a minute or whatever it was.
This is bull****. No matter HOW bad Melo and Smith are playing, no matter how good the rookies (is that why?) Prigioni and Copeland play, he gives them less minutes. It's one thing to let the best scorers on the team to get a rhythm back, it's another to do that while burying other players who can contribute winning on the bench for so long.
If only Kidd had the physical ability to be the primary play maker still.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Woodson limited Knicks to just 7-8 players where bench is much deeper.
Prigioni shouldn't be playing no less than 24 minutes. He's very important in our guard rotation. Best defender/passer on our team.
Prigioni hurts this team by not attacking sometimes. He's perfect at keeping the ball moving but he's a consistent liability with the overpass. Also Felton has outplayed him in the playoffs as he's really stepped up.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There should be no BUT after " he's perfect for keeping the ball moving "
The guy has hesitated but he has also turned it on in 2 of the playoff games....
Can u Imagine if super athletic JR and Melo played defense like Prigioni...
His Bball IQ is very high and Woodson should sit KIDD for tomorrows game and just use Prig.
I love what Kidd has done for this team but he looks like an old man these last few games....Give him a 6 days off and have him be ready for Saturday....
Woodson needs to adjust and not coach like a big wus.
Game 5.Prig 13 minutes and JR rewarded with poor hustle, suspsenion and out partying with 36 horrible minutes,,,,
Woodson needs to learn....its easy to tell if JR has on a given night or does not......If does not Woodson needs to adjust.....DEFENSE WINS
Theres no question Prigs should be playing more, especially since Kidd looks totally out of it like an old man trying to keep up with young men.
Right now, Woodson is still playing checkers. He hasn't begun the chess game yet. He will learn soon enough though because this isn't the regular season. These are playoff SERIES. You don't have the luxury of playing a different team tomorrow. YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS EVERY GAME.
Real Talk
What I have learned from Woodson in Atlanta and so far with the Knicks he very rarely enters into the Chess game and stays with Checkers....I have said it before but he is almost afraid to stray away with what he is comfortable with....this was the Hawks demise in the playoffs and hopefully not the Knicks....
The fact that JR has not entered the game now until 5 minutes left in the first has been as big move as Woody has made...It has paid off as Prig now knowing his role and taking charge more....However come the 2nd half or the second we are losing Woody reverts back to what he is comfortable with.....He needs to coach with Balls but as you can see with his star players sometimes he has none.....
Knicks have the potential get to the NBA finals.....Woody has the potential to make the right moves.....Now we just have to pray the adjustments come and he sticks with them despite any rumblings in the locker room....
Uhhhhh Prigs played 21 minutes Sunday and didn't score a point. What are y'all talking about?????
Pablo / Kidd / Shump should be coming off the bench as a 3-guard lineup to end the 1st qtr., and start the 2nd qtr..
Pablo is very important in this series, Melo & JR yellin for Pablo to throw them the ball on every offensive possession is not needed in this series .. if that keeps up like in Sundays game we will be looking at a 1-4 series (like Miami last year).
JR.Smith should be in the Starting-Lineup .. Felton / JR / Melo / Martin / Tyson (Starters/Closers)
We will need a 9-Man Rotation to beat the the Pacers Bigman rebounding rotation of 8 players.
Camby / Copeland / and Novak's perimeter shooting must get playingtime within this series for strategic moves.
Truth be said: I would rather have Amare and (NO-Melo) in this series vs Indiana Pacers .. that would make this series a sure WIN for the Knicks .. Amare has great playoff experience vs bigmen teams.
You are wasting time if your are going to argue about Woodson's rotations. He has benched Copeland most of season when the guy has proven he can score and has improved his defense. He plays Kidd and J.R too much. He never plays Camby.

Strong writing clears away clichés in World's Stage Theatre's 'Seminar'

John Scalzi's 'Lock In' toys with consciousness, identity
In an uncanny coincidence, John Scalzi's sci-fi novel "Lock In" arrives just when many people are thinking about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, thanks to ice-bucket challenges.
"Lock In" imagines a future world where a viral plague has left five million people locked in their bodies, unable to move or respond to stimuli. Through neural surgery, however, these locked-in victims of Haden syndrome can project their consciousness into threeps — android-type bodies — and move and work in the public world. »Read Full Article

New coach. Now. Don't wait.
We don't need more of Skiles's explanations of what is going wrong. We need a coach whose management of minutes and rotations doesn't resemble a mad scientist's latest madcap concoction about to explode.
When a coach has lost a team, every snowball becomes an avalanche. Get him out. Now.
