Swimmers scramble for space after pool closures
The Alameda High School women's water polo team was cruising toward the end of their season with a 10-5 record and, coach Leslie Cortez thinks, a real shot at acing their league championship meet at the end of October. But the school district's sudden and unexpected closure of the Emma Hood and Encinal swim centers has dampened the team's spirit and forced Cortez to scramble to find practice and game space to finish the team's final two weeks.
"It's devastating," said Cortez, who said the Emma Hood pool is a refuge for team members to practice, study and eat. "These kids spend seven if not 12 months a year at this pool. This is a second home for them."
Now, Cortez is calling all over the East Bay to try to find somewhere for them to practice for the big meet. The team scored one day of practice at the Hayward Plunge pool, and Cortez has calls in to Coast Guard Island and Laney College in Oakland. The Piedmont Swim Club has opened their pool to host a game they're scheduled to play Thursday.
"I know some of them feel it's like being homeless," Cortez said.
School district officials aren't saying much about the closures right now. The district issued a terse statement shortly after 10 p.m. Friday saying the pools were closed for "inspection and evaluation of necessary repairs" and that the city and school district "are actively exploring alternative locations to continue our community's aquatic programs." The district's director of maintenance, operations and facilities, Robbie Lyng, said a consultant was looking at the pools to see what repairs they need.
But swimmers are saying the closure is due to a bureaucratic miscommunication between the school district, county health inspectors and Alameda's recreation and parks department. They're saying the county and city parks department, which operates the pools, had an agreement that allowed the pools to remain open while they addressed the need for new filtration systems and drain covers mandated by a new state law – an agreement they believe the district, which has had two different people in charge of facilities this past year, may not have been aware of.
Swimmers and the parks department are working to put that agreement back in place and to get the pools reopened, one swim coach who wrote families about a canceled practice today said in an e-mail.
In an e-mail to swimmers and water polo players impacted by the closures, another swim coach said district staff who greeted her and other swimmers at the Emma Hood pool at 5:20 a.m. Friday said the school board voted Thursday night to shut down the pools. One school board member contacted by The Island on Sunday said the board didn't do anything in closed session that was reportable to the public, and the board did not discuss the matter openly on Thursday night.
An ARPD employee forwarded a reporter to the school district on Friday, and officials with the Alameda County Environmental Health Department didn't return a reporter's call Friday.
Alameda County environmental health inspectors shuttered public pools all summer following passage of a state law that requires them to have drain covers, and the law also requires each pool to have its own filtration system, swimmers said. They said the two pools at Emma Hood and three pools at Encinal – all of which are 40 years old – each share a filtration system.
Swimmers fear the cost of repairs will be too high for either the district or the city to pay, and that the pools may never reopen, some said.
Cortez's water polo players high from a sudden death win Tuesday over Bishop O'Dowd and a close loss Thursday to undefeated Pinole Valley descended into a tear-filled meeting in her office Friday, after the girls were allowed to remove their things from the swim center's locker room.
"They know they actually have a legitimate chance of being a contender," Cortez said of the upcoming championships. "And they feel like their opportunity is being taken away."

New Jersey Supreme Court
Decided: April 29, 1935.
WESTFIELD TRUST COMPANY, PROSECUTOR,v.COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF THE COUNTY OF MORRIS, BEATRICE W. CHERRY, ROBERT N. CHERRY AND SAMUEL ROESSLER, TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY OF ROBERT N. CHERRY, RESPONDENTS; WESTFIELD TRUST COMPANY, PLAINTIFF, V. BEATRICE W. CHERRY AND ROBERT N. CHERRY, DEFENDANTS
On certiorari.
For the prosecutor, Martin P. O'Connor.
For the respondent Samuel Roessler, trustee in bankruptcy of Robert N. Cherry, William A. Lord, Jr.
Before Justices Heher and Perskie.
[115 NJL Page 87]
The opinion of the court was delivered by
PERSKIE, J. Case No. 233 comes before us on a writ of certiorari, to review the order or rule of the Common Pleas Court of Morris county, dated June 1st, 1934, in and by which it was directed that the judgment which had been entered against the defendants Beatrice W. Cherry and Robert N. Cherry, on April 3d, 1933, in favor of the prosecutor, although previously docketed in the Supreme Court, should be vacated. Case No. 240 comes before us on the rule to show cause, why a writ of restitution should not be granted so that the moneys received by the prosecutor in payment of the judgment which had been vacated should be returned to the trustee in bankruptcy of the defendant Robert N. Cherry.
The stipulated facts disclose that Beatrice W. Cherry and Robert N. Cherry were indebted to the Westfield Trust Company in the sum of $5,377.41, on their promissory note. A default having occurred in the payment of the note the trust company instituted suit in the Morris County Common Pleas Court on March 16th, 1933. Endorsed on the summons and complaint was a notice requiring the defendants to file an affidavit of merits. Personal service was made upon Beatrice W. Cherry but service on Robert N. Cherry was made by leaving the summons and complaint at his place of abode with a member of his family above the age of fourteen years. Neither defendant filed an affidavit of merits. The statutory twenty-day period for the filing of the answers, if any were to be filed, expired on April 6th, 1933. Three days prior to that date, however, the plaintiff caused to be entered a rule for judgment by default for failure to file an answer; the damages were assessed by the clerk. Thereafter, on April 7th, 1933, the plaintiff caused its judgment to be docketed in the Supreme Court, and on April 18th, 1933, caused execution to be issued out of the Supreme Court directed to the sheriff of Union county.
Pursuant to said execution, the sheriff on April 21st, 1933, levied upon a $4,000 mortgage made by one Edward Erickson and wife, to John M. Cherry, and upon one hundred and
[115 NJL Page 88]
fifty shares of stock of the United States Steel Corporation belonging to the defendant Robert N. Cherry. After the statutory procedure had been complied with, the bond and mortgage and one hundred and forty-six shares of the said stock (defendant having claimed four shares as his exemption) were sold on June 6th, 1933, by the sheriff to the Westfield Trust Company for $50.
It also appears that on April 22d, 1933, Robert N. Cherry and Beatrice W. Cherry, his wife, gave a mortgage to the trust company, the stated reason being "to secure the sum of any and all promissory notes heretofore or hereafter made or endorsed by either of them * * * purchased or owned by the Westfield Trust Company." This mortgage was recorded on June 29th, 1933.
Subsequently, on August 25th, 1933, the trust company sold one hundred and ten shares of the said stock, which it had acquired at the sheriff's sale on June 6th, 1933, and realized therefrom the sum of $5,724.07, which it credited to the judgment and which amount was sufficient to pay the judgment and costs. The judgment, however, was not discharged of record.
On August 18th, 1933, defendant Robert N. Cherry was adjudicated a bankrupt and Samuel Roessler was appointed trustee and qualified as such on October 20th, 1933, Roessler being one of the respondents in the certiorari proceedings. Immediately thereafter, on October 31st, 1933, the Westfield Trust Company turned over to said trustee the remaining thirty-eight shares of the steel company stock, as well as the bond and mortgage purchased by it at the sheriff's sale. The trustee accepted these securities with the reservation that it should not operate as a waiver or foreclose his right to pursue any remedy he might have against the Westfield Trust Company for having sold the stock under the execution.
Whereupon the trustee in bankruptcy instituted a suit in the Court of Chancery against the Westfield Trust Company to set aside the sale of the sheriff as null and void and as preferential, and after the case was heard the bill of complaint was dismissed on April 17th, 1934. On June 1st, 1934,
[115 NJL Page 89]
the trustee applied to the Common Pleas Court of Morris county for an order vacating and declaring null and void the rule for judgment, and the certificate, statement and transcript of said judgment subsequently made by the clerk of the Common Pleas Court for the docketing of the judgment in the Supreme Court, and the judgment entered thereon, upon the ground that they "were illegally and fraudulently entered and were utterly void against the said defendant Robert N. Cherry and his said trustee in bankruptcy, because same were entered merely by the attorney for the plaintiff (and not signed by the judge) in less than twenty days from the date when said defendant was served with the summons and complaint in this action * * *." The Common Pleas Court being of the opinion, after argument and examination of the records, that the "judgment was improperly and unlawfully entered and utterly void," ordered that the rule for judgment and the judgment heretofore entered in the said cause, be vacated, made void and expunged from the record. Application was made by the trustee, as aforesaid, to this court for an order setting aside the docketing of the judgment in the Supreme Court and for a writ of restitution. The court denied the application, but allowed a rule to show cause. The court also allowed a writ of certiorari, on the application of the prosecutor, to review the vacating of the judgment by the Common Pleas Court. By stipulation both matters were argued together.
Bearing in mind that the rule for judgment was entered "as of course" by the attorney for respondent and without the signature of the judge, for the failure to file an answer (Section 133, Practice act, Revision of 1903, Comp. Stat. 1910, pp. 4094, 4095), although the time for the filing thereof had as yet not expired, three days remaining therefor, and the further fact that the judgment entered in the Common Pleas Court was docketed in this court (Judgments, III, Docketing, 3 Comp. Stat. 1709-1910, pp. 2957, 2958, 2959), we approach the consideration of the questions here presented and requiring decision by this court.
First: What was the effect of the docketing of the judgment in the Supreme Court?
It is the settled law that the effect of the docketing of the judgment, obtained in the Morris County Court of Common Pleas, in the Supreme Court merely gave a broader scope to its operation. Twist v. Woerst, 101 N.J.L. 7 (at p. 11). The judgment, however, remained for all intents and purposes, other than the latitude of its scope, the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas in which it was rendered. This being so, the court from which the judgment emanated retained control of its mandate, which control included the power to vacate the judgment on proper cause being shown. Daniel v. Elmer, 113 Id. 227; Anderson v. Independent Order of Foresters, 98 Id. 648; 126 A. 631; Blessing v. Blackburn Varnish Co., 93 N.J.L. 321, 326.
Second: What was the legal effect of the judgment entered; was it a void or a voidable judgment?
We think that it was a void judgment. Section 133 of our Practice act of 1903, supra, provides: "If either party shall fail to file any necessary pleadings within the time limited or granted the adverse party may enter as of course either in term or vacation * * * rule for judgment by default * * *; and such rule when lawfully entered shall have the same force and effect as if entered by order of the court, and if unlawfully entered shall be utterly void." (Italics ours.) In the case of Hoey v. Aspell & Co., 62 N.J.L. 200 (at p. 201), this court held that the aforesaid provision of our Practice act is similar to and derived from section 144, General Statute, page 2557, and that "A mere rule in the minutes, entered by a plaintiff, or his attorney, under color of the statute, if unlawfully entered is utterly void, but this judgment was recorded and signed by the judge. Such a judgment, though irregular or premature, stands until reversed or set aside. 6 Encycl. Pl. & Pr. 58, 98." A mere inspection of the record, before the entry of the judgment, would have disclosed the error. Under such circumstances, on motion to set aside the judgment, "the court had no discretion to grant or refuse the motion, but were bound as debito justicice, to set aside the judgment." Evans v. Adams, 15 N.J.L. 373, 378; Reading v. Reading, 24 Id. 358, 362;
[115 NJL Page 91]
compare Harrison v. Dobkin, 11 N.J. Mis. R. 892 (a judgment entered upon a bond and warrant of attorney set aside for failure to file statutory affidavit). If a record shows a judgment without a lawful default the judgment is void on the face of the record. 34 C.J. 195, 196, § 418. A judgment may be set aside whether there was a total lack of authority to enter any judgment or only lack of authority, as here, to enter a particular judgment, when the entry of such a judgment was premature because the time for the filing of an answer had not expired. 34 C.J. 294. A void judgment may be vacated at any time. McLaughlin v. Cross, 68 N.J.L. 599, 601. But a mere irregularity in the entry of a judgment or the assessment of damages thereon, i.e., a mere perfunctory matter (Broad and Market National Bank v. Weisen, 99 Id. 331; 124 A. 48), when the court otherwise has jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject-matter generally and specifically, may, of course, be waived or barred. Fraley v. Feather, 46 N.J.L. 429, 431; Funk v. Smith, Ibid. 484. But when, as here, the court entered the judgment illegally, it was, in the language of section 133 of our Practice act, utterly void. And being utterly void, it was a mere nullity. For a complete discussion of the differences between void and voidable judgments see 1 Black on Judgments (1890), ch. X, p. 194.
Third: Was the respondent trustee in bankruptcy entitled to relief in the premises; was he obliged to show surprise and merit, or was he barred because of laches?
In the case of McLaughlin v. Cross, supra, the court in discussing the standing of the parties making the application said:
"The standing to make the application, in order to relieve their property from the cloud of the judgment, has not been questioned, and was, we think, unquestionable. This court, in a very early case, set aside a judgment of its own, when shown to be voidable, on the motion of a grantee of the judgment debtor. Reed v. Bainbridge, 1 South 351. This principle of decision was afterwards doubted when sought to be applied in favor of creditors of the judgment debtor, but
[115 NJL Page 92]
later was upheld (Clapp v. Ely, 3 Dutch. 555, 569), and has recently been recognized as warranting an application, by execution creditors, to set aside an attachment improvidently issued against the debtor. National Papeterie Co. v. Kinsey, 25 Vr. 29. The practice is quite general to afford relief against void judgment to any person interested. 17 Am. & Eng. Encycl. L. 839." The trustee in bankruptcy is a person interested.
Having determined that the premature entry of the judgment herein was utterly void; that an utterly void judgment may be vacated at any time, since it is a mere nullity; we are clearly of the further opinion that, in accordance with the recognized exception to the rule, it was not necessary for respondent to show surprise or a meritorious defense in order to have the judgment vacated. 34 C.J. 427, 428, § 676. Nor can laches run against a void judgment; it is a mere blur on the record; it is the duty of the court on its own motion to strike it off, whenever its attention is called to it. Romberger v. Romberger, 290 Pa. 454; 139 A. 159. An unauthorized and void default judgment may be stricken from the record at any time; the doctrine of laches being inapplicable. Borough of Wilkinsburg v. School District, 298 Pa. 193; 148 A. 77. It is, of course, of no legal consequence but it is interesting to observe that prosecutor itself did not, as indicated by the stipulated facts, place much reliance or faith on the validity of its judgment in the premises. It would be far reaching in effect and, to say the least, would create great uncertainty among the members of the bar to hold that the entry of a judgment three days before the expiration of time for the filing of an answer results merely in a voidable judgment. What, in number of days, would be the dead line? It obviously must not be before the time fixed by law. We therefore conclude that the order vacating the judgment as well as the refusal of Mr. Justice Parker to disturb it (although he graciously allowed the writ) was correct. The writ is accordingly dismissed, with costs.
Fourth: Is the trustee entitled to a writ of restitution?
[115 NJL Page 93]
Having determined that the judgment is void the party benefiting by such a judgment after it has been paid or satisfied by execution, or by possession of the property, should be ordered to make restitution. 34 C.J. 389, § 598; 15 R.C.L. 724, § 178; Scott v. Conover, 10 N.J.L. 71; Arrowsmith v. Vanarsdale, 21 Id. 471.
The rule to show cause therefore in case No. 240, is made absolute, with costs.

- Sweet 1.0-litre engines
- Fine VXR performance
- Heavy facelift of previous Corsa
- Non-turbo engines weaker
- Firm sports suspension
One of the best-selling small cars in Britain, the Vauxhall Corsa was thoroughly overhauled at the end of 2014 so that it's in a better position to take on the likes of the Ford Fiesta the Renault Clio and the Volkswagen Polo.
Yes, you read that right – this is a significant makeover of the previous Corsa and not an all-new model. It's more than just a facelift though, as all body panels barring the roof are new, and while the underpinnings remain based on the previous generation's, they've been considerably revised.
Raft of upgrades
The biggest visual changes for this generation Corsa are found at the front where the nose is longer and more expressive, with distinctive new headlights and a lower, wider grille. It's no accident that it shares a very close resemblance to the Vauxhall Adam, the Corsa's more fashion-focused sibling.
Climb inside and the Adam theme continues with a much improved dashboard featuring soft-touch plastics for the upper moulding, more technology (almost every version benefits from the IntelliLink multimedia package), but essentially the same amount of space as before as the fundamental cabin dimensions are carried over.
It's the side profile where this and the previous Corsa iterations look most similar, as the windows continue into this generation. The more coupe-like glass outline of the three-door is slightly extended by a glossy applique just behind the rearmost side window, but the five-door's make-over is cleverer, with metalwork that curves upwards on the outside of the rear door to frame the glass differently. Inside it's less convincing with black foil stuck to the glass instead of the interior door panel mirroring the exterior.
At the back the rear ends of both three- and five-door Corsas are brought into line with identical treatment featuring horizontal tail lights and a large Vauxhall badge that stands proud of the tailgate doubling as a release handle for the hatch.
It drives significantly better than before too, riding more pliantly on Comfort suspension models but at times with too much firmness on those with the Sports set-up.
Refreshed petrol and diesel engines
Under the reprofiled front of the latest Corsa is a combination of improved and all-new engines, the focus being efficiency rather than high performance – none of the range completes the 0-62mph acceleration in less than 10 seconds, save for the Red and Black Editions and the flagship Corsa VXR introduced in spring 2015.
VXR aside, the headline-grabbing engine is the new three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol, in 90hp and 115hp outputs. We were particularly impressed by its refinement and balance between speed and efficiency, and it's quieter than Ford's similarly-sized EcoBoost engine. Depending on wheel size, the lower-powered version of the two units boasts claims up to 65.7mpg and 100g/km of CO2.
It's not the most efficient Corsa though; that honour still belongs to the 1.3-litre CDTi diesels in 75hp and 95hp forms, where Vauxhall claims as high as 88.3mpg, resulting in CO2 emissions of 85g/km.
There's plenty of performance on tap with the Corsa VXR, thanks to its 206hp 1.6-litre turbo engine: top speed is 143mph, while it will scorch from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds.
Depending on trim, other engines include a 70hp 1.2-litre petrol, which was dropped in 2016, and three versions of the 1.4-litre delivering 75hp, 90hp, 100hp and 150hp.
That 90hp version is also available with options of a conventional automatic and an improved version of the robotised manual that changes gears automatically, called Easytronic. All other Corsas have five- or six-speed manual gearboxes.
Broad range and packed with equipment
Vauxhall's attempted to simplify the outgoing Corsa's range but it's still ended up with 11 trim levels by the middle of 2016. All of them are well-equipped compared with rivals – an electrically heated windscreen and cruise control are standard on all versions and every Corsa barring the entry-level Sting and Sting R has LED day-running lights, in Vauxhall's signature 'wing' formation. Best of all, model for model it's less expensive than its predecessor.
Is this host of well-judged revisions going to be enough to bring it close to the leaders of the small car pack? Read Parkers full new Vauxhall Corsa review to find out.

Product Documents:
As performance enthusiasts today, most people are accustomed to having access to whatever performance parts they need for their vehicle readily available at their local dealer. It usually never crosses anyone's mind who invented these products? Who was the first to identify the need, then develop and manufacture that product? Since the very early 1950s, B&M has been at the vanguard of the growing automotive aftermarket. Racers themselves, B&M's founders identified the needs of local racers and street performance enthusiasts, and developed products to fill those needs. As the industry grew so did B&M. And as racers went faster, B&M developed products to help them break the records they just set. In the 50's it was B&M who came up with the idea of using a performance reinforced Hydramatic for racing. In the 60s it was B&M who developed shifters to go along with it, and later in the decade came race converters. In the 70's shift and transmission improving kits, and always the constant refinements and expansion of existing product lines. If you've ever raced a vehicle, or driven a hot rod with an automatic transmission, high stall torque converter, an aftermarket automatic shifter, or performance enhancing shifting kit, thank B&M. From Trick Shift performance ATF to reverse pattern valve bodies, 1.80 gearsets to cool canisters, the list of firsts goes on and on. It's this tradition that keeps moving B&M to identify and develop what the performance enthusiast needs. As racing and street performance has spread globally, B&M has taken it's extensive knowledge and experience and applied it to the needs of racers, everyday drivers and hobbyists around the world. Keep looking to B&M to continue to be amongst the very first to identify vehicle needs in the global automotive aftermarket, supplying enthusiasts and racers what they need, performance!

Product details
Part 2 Cistern Float Valve - Brass.
- Features: 0.5in threaded tail.
- Delivery information: Delivery to mainland UK only.
- Material: Brass
- Usage: For use where a side inlet to a WC or other cistern is required.
- Safety information: Safe for use with drinking water. Complies with water regulations.
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by formby1 Saved my bacon With water pouring out of the overflow from the cistern, you need to be able to replace a float valve easily. This float valve was fitted in 5 mins and with the easy attached float ball the overflow was quickly stopped. 06 September 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous useless. did not work. returned 25 May 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by martin very good Very pleased with this buy it was a straight forward replacement for the faulty one. Not the cheapest on the market but very good quality. You get what you pay for. 19 May 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by linda ballcock bought this item worth the money and so easy to fit 04 May 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Phil Expensive Extremely overpriced, only bought as urgent and traffic issue to get to similar a respectable price. 18 August 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ed works well This cistern float valve may be more expensive than other shops but the quality shows. It's much quieter than the one it replaced - less hissing sounds heard in the bathroom now. 12 October 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by diy70 one problem It's well made, functions well and continues to function well over many years. I know this because the previous one, which was exactly the same, did. However, the weak point is the plastic nozzle which discharges the water into the tank. This goes upwards, along, and then down, presumably to conform to current anti-syphonage regulations. This means that it projects above the main brass assembly and is easily damaged, as it was in my case by the cistern lid when I moved it. If this part were not plastic but brass like the rest, this would not happen. 09 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous mostly good The product is of good quality & was quite easy to fit. But the white plastic spout that the water comes through is very flimsy & moves about. As a result of the movment it sprays water out of the lid & soaks the flour. I have it tied into place with a cable tie & this seems to have sorted it out . 04 July 2012

it's the one that says make max lose his rabbithood and luck at the same time, I can't seem to figure it out, it doesn't seem possible, because in order to make you get cursed with bad luck, you have to get the dummy, which you lose your rabbithood first, but it soon wares off, and you need the dummy to get cursed with bad luck, but you cannot lose your rabbithood again, the curse does not work a second time, I tried, so how do you get it. (I am assuming since I used the word trophy, you know I am refering to the PS3 version.)
11 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
Get bad luck curse.
Hop to reel 3 (after getting it to the point tht talking to nerfertti = auto curse basically).
Curses seem to persist between reels for a while, if tht dont work there MUST be a dialogue option or action tht makes nerfertiti cast her curse again
Are you saying that the bad luck curse stays with you even if you skip reels, because in reel 3 you can always get her to recast it, I was trying to get it in reel 2 (where you get the bad luck curse)
one other question, but how do you use the dummy on the 2 guardians in reel 2, I try they are sparkling, but nothing happens?
You can get re-cursed by Nefertiti in reel 2 too.
Cursed don't stay between reels.
Forget about dummying the guardians, doesn't do anything important.
He has to do it, because there's a trophy about dummying everything in sightNeatNit;310901 said:Forget about dummying the guardians, doesn't do anything important.
My suggestion: when you have bad luck on, hide in the can to go through the doors without getting killed. Then, get cursed by Nefertiti.
No clue about the guardians.
It is possible, but I know how to do it in the PC Version T_TAvistew;310946 said:No clue about the guardians.
Throwing the bust through the one of the doorways will "bust" the mechanism. After that you can walk through with the bad luck curse unharmed.
go to reel 3, go through far enough to find the love letter, to learn about stattgart, go to reel 2 and find grampa mole at the crypt. look at the travel brochures, select stattgart, now you're cursed with bad luck.
You are all misunderstanding the question, in order to get the badluck curse you need the dummy, in order to get the dummy you need to take it from the mole girl, where she curses you. the you can get the bad luck curse, but if you go back to the mole girl, she tries to curse you again but it doesn't work a second time meaning you can't have both curses at the same time. (I already beat episode 2 by the way.) and I need to know how to talk to the guardian for the trophy.
!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!! DO NOT READ No you do not need the dummy, This trophy is only possible on ACT 2. You have to have bad luck from grandpa mole, the bust of sammun-mak and have NOT acquired the ventriliquist dummy yet. You need to playthrough act 3 far enough to get the love letter that mole girl writes to Yurgen. Yurgen will go into the moles room repeatedly trying to get something from them, talk to mole girl about everything listed and papa mole for everything listed. now walk out of the moles room. Usually exiting to the next car and re-entering the previous car will show a cutscene of mole girl giving Yurgen the love letter. Leave and re-enter the car again and Yurgen should leave his room go get the love letter, sam reads it to max, STATTGART.NOW go to ACT 2. see the devils toybox, dummy flys out swallowed by snake, pull both snake ornaments on right wall after talking to Yurgen. then get the bust, answer the carvings with straight talk, then cut the cucumber sideways. You are now off the wall with the bust. Now go see grandpa mole in the crypt select the travel brochures, select STATTGART, now you are cursed with bad luck. Go to the 2 doorways and select either doorway then select the bust. You now have 2 halves, the 2 doorways is broken. Now go into mole girls's room and when she sicks her pet snake on you select can'o'nuts and you will have the ventriliquist dummy, and mole girl will hit you with her curse, max is now double cursed. if the bad luck curse ends before mole girls's curse hits you try again but press the button to bypass the cutscenes and you will get it.

We need your vote for the Women in Wireless panels at SXSW 2012! The SXSW PanelPicker Voting Interface is now live and is open through Friday, September 2, 2011 (11:59 PM CST).
Cast your vote for the following panels:
Starting A Revolution: Women in Tech : In the old days, starting a revolution required armed guerillas, violent protest … and "fast" meant 5-10 years. Today, a tweet or OpEd can circumvent the globe in seconds, instantly catalyzing a group of like-minded people to demand change. While today's revolution employs thoroughly modern means, it exhibits classic features as well. Using Women in Tech as a case study, we'll explore how to use technology and new media to go from cause to full-fledged revolution, resulting in measurable change. No matter the cause, the steps are the same: 1) voice the problem, 2) build coalitions of support, 3) grow awareness for the cause and 4) develop groups to take action. We'll have with us the key players who tipped the scales, to talk about what happened and what's to come.
Man Smart, Women Smarter: Mommy bloggers, social gaming, and daily deals aren't the only trends being driven by women. In fact, women aren't just driving trends, they are spotting them early and investing heavily in them. In this session, some of the industry's most strategic investment visionaries -- that just so happen to be members of the fairer sex -- share their views on the online, social media, and mobile landscapes, the trends that are shaping these worlds, and where they are investing.
Females Flock to Group Buying and Daily Deals!: Group buying is all the rage. Is is a fad or here to stay? Women control over 80% of all purchasing decisions and whether a stay at home mom, a working mom, or a head of the household everyone is always looking for value. In 2011, group buying has been the answer for everything from vacations, gourmet cheeses, kickboxing classes or organic groceries. We explore and hear from the experts.
Thank you for all your support!

Elsbeth Schuetz demonstrates how to do Pink and White Retro nail art.
1. Apply bold pink and French white nail polish.
2. Use a striper brush and create vertical lines with pink polish over the white tip. Use a shorter brush and paint two triangles for the bow. Allow to dry.
3. Dip the shorter brush into a fuchsia polish and paint the center of the triangles. Put a white dot in the middle of the triangles using a large dotting tool. Finish with clear top coat.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

An apropos juxtaposition:
(from cheezburger)
(similar to a tweet by Will Ferrell)
I hope you all had a happy Halloween! Tomorrow Today (Nov. 1st) is also something to celebrate: All S Half-Price Chocolate Day! (For those who do Facebook, there's a Facebook page.)
About DST, I found this article at National Geographic interesting: "Time to Move On? The Case Against Daylight Saving Time". Air conditioning, and energy used during darker mornings, end up making DST waste energy. And that's not all...
Part of the story that is often ignored... is the energy required to get people from place to place—gasoline. In fact the petroleum and automobile industries have always been huge supporters of DST....
"When you give Americans more light at the end of the day, they really do want to get out of the house. And they go to ballparks, or to the mall and other places, but they don't walk there. Daylight saving reliably increases the amount of driving that Americans do, and gasoline consumption tracks up with daylight saving."
They also mentioned the golf and barbecue industry among others that have been huge supporters; and write about possible health effects of disturbing our circadian rhythms.
DST has been credited and blamed for all kinds of things, from rational to wacko: "Daylight saving has been ... blamed for ... browning out lawns unaccustomed to so much sunshine. As you can imagine, the Congressional Record on daylight saving constitutes the great comic novel of the 20th century."
Carl, that animation is still clever after all these (those?) years.
Enjoyed all the DST comments/explanations. Indiana was with Arizona up until about 8 years ago. Boo hiss.
Thanks Carl! Must have been fifty years ago that I saw the Silly Symphony! Happy Halloween, all of you!
During the summer, when staying in the garden all day, I have marks on one of the boxes to indicate the daytime hours. I get so I can look at the shadows cast by a stick stuck in the ground, or look at shadows of the chairs and I can pretty well tell the time.
My memory of daylight saving time comes from being a child during WW II. It was claimed to save energy for production of goods and services, that day light was needed to reduce the use of alternative light sources.
"The energy saving benefits of Summer Time were recognized during World War II,"
Of course, I am not meeting any schedule these days ... one of th benefits of retirement. However, since my retirement, I wake up with the sun and go to bed with the sun. It works for me just fine. No involvement with the clock at all.
Let us remember that time is also a construct of man's mind. It is all relative to the seasons. Having GMT sets a standard for all to follow.
When I lived in Alaska for two years, we had two hours of daylight in the winter and two hours of night in the summer. Living in southern Texas was quite different, but I can't remember if it caused me any distress or not. I think not. Some people had to put window covers to prevent daylight in summer. I didn't have a problem, but then, I didn't have to be any where on time.
It always takes a week or so to get adjusted - I wonder who profits from DST?
I'm a very early morning person, and I hate Daylight "Savings" Time.

Two Methods for Making the Steps of the SQ3R More Concrete.
Paulson, Peter L.
Index cards and audio tape can make the steps of the SQ3R system of study more concrete. This method can be particularly beneficial to "average" college students, who for whatever reason, have difficulty sustaining concentration while reading. The SQ3R method is suitable because of its simplicity, diversity of application, adaptability to differences in students, and provisions for repetition and synthesis. With a little experimentation, the student will instinctively know which of the two modes works better, the note cards or the tape recording. The cards may be used almost anywhere, as can the recorder, with earphones. In the survey step, the student either writes down or records the main headings of the chapter. The student then creates questions about the material, which are also written or recorded. During the reading, the student writes or records details under the major headings. When the student recites the materials, the index cards may be used as flash cards or the recording may be used to check accuracy. In the review step, the student may reread the cards or listen to the tape as often as needed. The SQ3R beefed up with cards or tapes seems to be more profitable than merely underlining. (Illustrations of the note card method are included.) (HTH)
