New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie opened this morning's "Today" show by
reigniting the long-standing border war between the Garden State and New
York over the city's two football teams that play across the Hudson.

where a parade should be held if the Giants win the NFL championship
again, the combative Christie didn't hesitate to vote for New Jersey.

"They play in New Jersey. They train in New Jersey," he said.

host Matt Lauer responded with "What's it say on their helmets,"
referring to the "NY" logo, Christie said, "That's about it."

The Giants have played in New Jersey since 1976, when Giants Stadium opened. MetLife Stadium replaced it in 2010.

After the Giants won Super Bowl XLII in 2008, a parade was held in
New York's Canyon of Heroes with a separate rally held at Giants
Stadium.

sorry NY boy - he does make a good point
but from what i read the way they did it in 07 was the way to do it.
I will NEVER and i mean EVER go to the city for a parade after my experience in 07. I didn't get their SUPER early, but I got there at like 930 and u couldn't get near the street and the cops blocked off every block and had people just walking in circles. It was an awful time
apparently they went to the stadium for the second half of the day and had some type of ceremony there. ALOT of people I know went to that and had a great time. **** a parade, do that again so I can just go into work early, leave early, not miss a day and go party my face off in comfort of not having to dela with the city
[/quote]Dude, that is exactly what I am planning on if they finish the way we all want. Go to the stadium for the celebration. We should all take off work and celebrate our team that day. **** the parade.
Yeah--I texted you last night 2x and also the night of green bay. What the hell is up with my phone. Matter of fact, I texted Justin Sunday night too.
I am becoming technology challenged over past year. They say that happens with age. dam.[/quote]
ahh yea i didn't get anything...
NA I don't think it starts til later in the day... I'll def take at leats a half day if we win. Im SOOO going to the stadium if we win. I won't ever go to a parade. U have to get there at the *** crack and deal wtih the cold... stadium sounded MUCH better.
[/quote]They got me iphone for xmas. If you are in my contact book as *821 before your phone # and I select you from contacts to send text message--I guess that's a no-no.[/quote]
haha u block ur number?

An AICR-funded researcher interested in how dietary components can aid cancer treatment, Gilda Hillman, PhD, is exploring how soy may sensitize cancer cells to radiation therapy. Hillman is an Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Karmanos Cancer Institute at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan. Her latest research, now in clinical trials, has shown that soy isoflavones not only improve the ability of radiation to kill prostate cancer cells but also protect healthy cells from the lethal effects of radiation.
Q: How did you become interested in soy and cancer prevention and what have you found?
A: As a radiation oncologist, I was interested in finding ways to improve radiotherapy. Radiation is typically very effective but there are always resistant tumor cells. I worked closely with clinicians and asked how we could improve the treatment. One of my close collaborators suggested I take a look at soy.
We started with cell culture and animal studies and found that soy helped radiation work better to kill tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth by targeting cell survival pathways. We also conducted clinical trials with prostate cancer patients in the early disease stage. What we found was amazing – patients given soy tablets during radiotherapy had fewer side effects, causing less diarrhea and incontinence and better sexual function. Not only can soy enhance the impact of radiation on cancer tissue, it also can protect normal tissue.
"Not only can soy enhance the impact of radiation on cancer tissue, it also can protect normal tissue…. The message for the public is to use soy in the natural way and not use the isolate in high amounts. "
Q: Can you talk more about the cellular mechanisms involved in soy and radiation therapy?
A: When a cancer cell receives radiation, it causes damage to its DNA. This, in turn, activates DNA repair molecules, which try to repair the damage. The molecules involved, APE1/Ref-1 and the transcription factors, NF-kB and HIF-1alpha, make cancer cells resistant to radiation.
We found that soy decreases the expression and activity of these molecules in cancer cells, and soy is generally non-toxic and safe to normal tissues. Dietary isoflavones in soy beans seem to regulate cell signaling and sensitize cancer cells to apoptotic cell death.
Q: How are you currently studying isoflavones related to lung cancer?
A: With funding from AICR, we are currently looking at the effect of radiation on the normal lung. We know that radiation can be very detrimental to lung tissue by causing pneumonitis and fibrosis. Scar tissue that develops in the lung can impact the ability to breathe. We are looking at two things: the effect of soy on lung tumors and on the normal lung.
Q: Are there any downsides to consuming soy?
A: The most active component of soy is genistein. Pure genistein enhances radiation therapy, but when we used it alone, it also promoted metastases in prostate tumor animal models. In our current studies, we use a soy extract rather than purified genistein. The natural soy extract does not promote metastases. The message for the public is to use soy in the natural way and not use the isolate in high amounts. People also need to understand that conventional treatment is necessary to destroy the bulk of a tumor. Cancer cannot be treated successfully with dietary supplements alone.
Q: Have you incorporated soy in your diet?
A: I am a soy milk drinker. I started drinking soy milk regularly more than 10 years ago. Soy is a source from nature. I am French, so I also always encourage vegetables and fruits for my kids. People used to eat in a more natural way centuries ago. We must get back to nature and try to eat fresh salads, vegetables, beans and fruits regularly for cancer prevention.
—Excerpted from ScienceNow.
Along with the numerous health benefits, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may give your face a tan-like healthy glow and be a marker of good health, suggests research published early online in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour. The study was conducted by a facial perception laboratory in Scotland.
In one of the experiments, researchers collected fruit and vegetable intake of 82 Caucasian participants and used this data to calculate intake of beta-carotene, a common carotenoid. (Carotenoids are a phytochemical identifiable by their yellow-orange color and well studied as an antioxidant and in cancer prevention.) After controlling for outside activity-time, the study found that participants who consumed higher levels of fruits, vegetables, and carotenoids had a more yellow-golden skin color on multiple areas of the body compared to participants who consumed fewer . Another experiment found that Caucasian participants identified faces with higher carotenoid-coloration as healthier than those with lower levels of the pigment.

Dieters who check their weight regularly and often lose more weight than their non-monitoring counterparts, according to a new review of the research on self-monitoring in weight loss published in last month's Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
This article presents a systematic review of the literature on three components of self-monitoring in behavioral weight loss studies: diet, exercise, and self-weighing. The review included all relevant articles published between 1993 and 2009, ending up with 22 articles.
More frequent self-monitoring was consistently linked to weight loss compared to less frequent self-monitoring. However, the review found, the evidence had several limitations. All but two of the studies, participants were predominantly white and women
The most common method of self-monitoring was the traditional paper diary.
Adherence to self-monitoring was reported most frequently as the number of diaries completed or the frequency of log-ins or reported weights. The use of technology, which included the Internet, personal digital assistants, and electronic digital scales were reported in five studies. Descriptive designs were used in the earlier studies whereas more recent reports involved prospective studies and randomized trials that examined the effect of self-monitoring on weight loss. A significant association between self-monitoring and weight loss was consistently found; however, the level of evidence was weak because of methodologic limitations. The most significant limitations of the reviewed studies were the homogenous samples and reliance on self-report. In all but two studies, the samples were predominantly white and women. This review highlights the need for studies in more diverse populations, for objective measures of adherence to self-monitoring, and for studies that establish the required dose of self-monitoring for successful outcomes.

The average person can meet all fruit and vegetable recommendations – amounts and variety – in the 2010 dietary guidelines for $2.00 to $2.50 per day on average, according to a new USDA report.
The study used 2008 Nielsen Homescan data to determine the price of 153 commonly consumed fruits and vegetables: fresh, frozen, canned, dried, and 100 percent juice. Study authors found the average prices ranged from less than 20 cents to $2 per cup, or approximately 50 cents per edible cup. The report calculated prices based on only the edible portion of the food once cooked or otherwise prepared for consumption. Broccoli cost per cup, for example, was estimated from the retail price per pound after boiling and removing its stalks.
When looking at all produce in the study, processed fruits and vegetables were not consistently more or less expensive than fresh. For example, canned carrots (34 cents per cup) were more expensive than whole fresh carrots eaten raw (25 cents per cup). Yet canned peaches (58 cents per edible cup equivalent) were less expensive than fresh (66 cents per cup).
For fruits, the lowest average price was for fresh watermelon (17 cents per cup) and the highest was for fresh raspberries (at $2.06 per cup). For vegetables, the lowest average price was for dry pinto beans (13 cents per cup) and the highest was for frozen asparagus cuts and tips, at ($2.07 per cup).

Studies have consistently linked high fiber and whole grains consumption to health benefits, and now a study suggests that certain substances produced after the foods are metabolized may play a key role in their health effects. AICR's expert report and its updates linked foods containing fiber to lower risk of colorectal cancer.
The study, published in the January issue of the Journal of Nutrition, analyzed how consuming high-fiber rye bread and white-wheat bread altered the plasma metabolites of 39 postmenopausal women. In the study, the women consumed one type of bread for 8 weeks, returned to normal eating for 8 weeks, then consumed the other type of bread for 8 weeks. The rye bread was approximately 17 percent dietary fiber and the white-wheat bread almost 3 percent. The bread covered at least 20 percent of daily energy intake – a minimum of four to five portions daily – and participants restricted eating other cereal products while keeping their total calories constant.
After analyzing 540 dietary metabolites, the researchers identified a handful that differed between the two bread groups. At least one of the metabolites is linked with increasing satiety. Now, more studies are needed to confirm and understand the metabolite changes, conclude the authors.

This bold palette draws inspiration from the colors of medieval paintings, yet its sleek design feels totally contemporary. Created in collaboration with hip British designer Faye Toogood, the versatile set includes four matte eye shadows and four bold and creamy lip colors.
This is a lovely palette. Though it has no mirror, the colors more than make up for this. The sizes of the pans are huge, the back of the package tells you what shade you're using, and the shades really work well together and individually. This is one of the few that I carry with me.5
I have very light skin and favor a more natural look, so I was worried this palette would be too outrageous for me. Instead, I've found that these colors provide an elegantly dramatic look that isn't over the top. It's become my go-to for nights out! The shadows are matte and long-lasting, and the lip colors are a perfect complement.5

Note servos draw considerable power, so if you need to drive more than one or two, you'll probably need to power them from a separate supply (i.e. not the +5V pin on your Arduino). Be sure to connect the grounds of the Arduino and external power supply together.
I did not connect the external power supplys negative lead to the arduinos ground...but I don't really understand why this is necessary.
Actually, does any one know if the grounds really need to be connected?
I'm sorry for the necromancy, but I still have a few more questions and/or clarifications.First of all, I didn't just hook up one side of the battery, I never said that. I said I didn't hook it up to the arduino ground; I hooked it up to the servos black(grd) lead. It was my understanding from chemistry that the electrons joined combined with the other metal in the battery, and that the chemical reaction is what drove the electrons down the wire(at least in photovoltaic cells). I am pretty rookie but i'm not totally a greenback, I have taken digital logic, microP, etc. So why then do I need to ground the battery? I still don't understand, and I don't want to blow another servo. Thank you very much for your time and patience.
I'm sorry for the necromancy, but I still have a few more questions and/or clarifications.First of all, I didn't just hook up one side of the battery, I never said that. I said I didn't hook it up to the arduino ground;
Wouldn't the "return path" be the negative lead of the battery?
Also, I did open it up, the wires were melted together and to the circuit board, but the gears were fine.
Voltage is the potential energy per unit charge.As we all know, there is no universal point where there is 0 potential energy. When we talk about energy, it's all relative. In terms of gravitational potential energy, for example, can you tell me my altitude if I just tell you I have 10J of gravitational potential energy? No, because that depends on my reference - 10J more potential energy compared to where?In physics we "define" 0 to be at infinity. Here we define it to be the negative terminal of the battery. The positive terminal is 9V more positive than the negative terminal. That's all the "9V" rating tells you.1 unit charge at the positive terminal have, 9J higher potential energy than those at the negative terminal.Your servo has 3 lines - 0V, 5V, and 6V.You connected the ground of 5V supply to 0V, and 5V to 5V. All is good. The 5V line is 5V higher than the ground line, and that's all the servo cares about.Now, you are adding in another battery, and connecting the positive terminal to 6V. 6V compared to what? The servo 6V line will be 6V higher than the negative terminal of the second battery. That doesn't tell you anything. It can be at any voltage. It can be 1000V, while the negative terminal of the battery is at 994V (compared to the ground of the first battery). Or -1000V and -1006V. The second battery doesn't care. It's maintaining the 6V difference.In practice, since no current can flow, it will be as if it's not connected at all. The positive terminal of the 6V battery will take whatever voltage the "6V line" happens to be at, and the negative terminal will be 6V below that.How do you make sure it's 6V above the ground of the first battery? You connect the 2 grounds.

I just started making cheese , I was hoping to use my bees wax to coat it , rather than buying cheese wax.
There's really no problem with it , it is just a little hard and cracks easier , does anyone have any way of adding something that would make the beeswax a little more pliable?
I read from someone on another site that you could add coconut oil , anyone ever tried this?
Any input would be appreciated.

Valerius recently completed a master of public policy from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, where he focused on economic development and education policy. There, he was awarded a Humphrey Public Leaders Fellowship and a Walter H. Judd International Graduate Fellowship based on the quality of his academic and professional work. His specialties include econometric analysis, policy analysis and evaluation, project management and language instruction. Prior to joining OVAE, Valerius worked as an Education Policy Consultant with Summit Education Associations, where he managed key aspects of K-12 education reform projects. He also worked with USAID in Guatemala, where he aided a commission from the Guatemalan Ministry of Education in designing and implementing a reform proposal for the country's teacher supervision and support system. For two years he was an Advantage Program coordinator with CommonBond Communities, a nonprofit affordable housing provider based in St. Paul, Minn. In this role, Valerius managed the community resource centers and after-school academic youth programs at two of the organization's affordable housing communities. Upon completing his bachelor's degree at Marquette University, he taught English and Spanish for two years to adult students in Germany.
Remediation: Higher Education's Bridge to Nowhere
Complete College America (CCA) recently released a scathing review of developmental education in the United States. Despite its intention to provide an academic bridge for students with poor high school preparation to achieve college readiness, college remediation, as CCA data show, has become a "bridge to nowhere." It is a broken system that shuffles some 1.7 million beginning students each year into developmental education sequences from which few emerge as college graduates. CCA estimates that states and students spent over $3 billion on developmental education courses last year, with little student success resulting.
The remediation statistics presented show, first, that there are too many entering freshmen in need of remediation. Over 51 percent of students entering a two-year college and nearly 20 percent of those entering a four-year college in fall 2006 enrolled in at least one developmental course. These rates are significantly higher for minority and low-income students. Second, most students referred to a developmental sequence never make it through the subsequent college-level gateway courses, regardless of race, age or income. Of students who began a remediation program at a two-year college, less than a quarter completed all remediation requirements and associated college-level gateway courses in two years. Third, CCA notes that fewer than one in 10 students at two-year colleges who take developmental courses graduated within three years. While other research has documented higher completion rates when the timeline is extended to four or six years, the college completion rates for students in remediation programs remain deeply troubling.
CCA acknowledges that much has to be done to improve the quality of K–12 education and ensure that students arrive at postsecondary institutions prepared for college-level courses. However, colleges and universities also have a responsibility to fix the broken developmental education system. Therefore, CCA recommends four reform strategies:
- Align requirements for entry-level college courses with high school graduation requirements to ensure greater college readiness.
- Administer college-ready anchor assessments in high school so students, teachers and parents have a clear understanding of students' progress toward college readiness and can use targeted interventions to help less well-prepared students develop the skills they will need to become college-ready before leaving high school.
- End traditional developmental education and adopt a system where most students begin taking first-year full-credit courses with built-in support for those who need to brush up on certain skills.
- Encourage students to commit to a well-defined program pathway as soon as possible to eliminate excessive course-taking and wandering between programs, thereby reducing the time required to graduate.
CCA reminds us that students pursue postsecondary education for college-level coursework, not more high school courses. We must, therefore, honor their intentions and focus on building a new road to student success and close education's bridge to nowhere for good.

I have been harping for 2 years now upgrading the TE position. I have always
felt if the seasoned Eli had a Shockey in his prime minus the diva he would
cut down on a lot of INT's, increase his completion percentage and add
another dimension to this offense. Let's face it the tight ends we have had
have ben mediocre to above average, Bennett was a pleasant surprise but he
still made a lot of focus mistakes in the passing game.
Jace Amaro - Texas Tech - 6-5/260
I really like this kid I think he is the best upside TE prospect out of the
top 3 names at TE. He is either breaking or Tied with wide receiver records
(crabtree) 92 recs in 11 games with six 100 yard games. He has 106
receptions for 1,352 yards with seven touchdowns this year, faster than line
backers to big and physical for safeties, he is a miss match nightmare. *He
blocks well in screen plays I have not seen any inline blocking skills as
Tech uses his out the Y often. Smooth and fluid athlete, who uses his body
to gain proper positioning in coverage and attacks the ball in the air,
balanced route-runner with a wide catch radius. Blietnikoff award semi
finalist, some maturity issues ejected for punching a player and a arrest
for credit card fraud. *3 yr Career 138 recs - 1818 yards - 13 TD's (Head
Injury in 2013)
Eric Ebron - UNC - 6-4/245
He can block, he has the foundations of a good blocker just misses
assignments sometimes, it's almost frustrating because he will have one good
block on one play and complete WTF on the next play, He is not an impact
blocker for the running game, needs to develop his blocking. He is a
freakish athlete, highlighted by also doubling as a DE on defense. He is
good for 1-2 spectacular catches a game, huge catch radius; I would say he
is a natural pass catcher if it wasn't for some focus drops from time to
time, nothing that can't be coached at the next level. Great top end speed
to out run DB/S after the catch, my thing with Ebron's route running is that
he like(M.Bennett) tends to round his routes, he doesn't sell the cuts he
would separate better if he did, but he makes up for that by playing
confident and physical with the ability to catch well in traffic. *Good body
control when tracking the ball in stride with the speed to finish. 3 yr
career 112 rec - 1805 - 8 TD's *(Right shoulder injury in 2013)
Austin Seferian Jenkins - Washington state - 6-6/276
RED ZONE THREAT! Stand out polished blocking TE, on the line opening holes
for Bishop Shankey (another 3-4th round prospect I like) played Div 1
basketball which is interesting and shows his diverse athleticism , won the
John Mackey award 2013 (Ebron/O'leary) for outstanding TE in college
football. Reliable route runner finds holes in defenses, wish there was more
tape of his 2012 season. *Definitely a red zone threat with his size but he
is not going to threaten the seam with his speed, he is better serviced
boxing out defenders for contested balls or savvy routes to gain separation.
From what I seen he plays more finesse than physical and overpowering which
is what I first expected when I saw his size/height combo. Great
flexibility, concentration and body control, fair acceleration to top end
speed, good catch radius with ability to leap high or adjust for low balls.
Plead guilty to DUI. 3 yr career 146 rec - 1840 - 21 TD
Now who I like the most is Amaro, teams are looking for jimmy graham like
seam threat TE's to be an extension of the passing attack and Amaro reminds
me more of Shockey in the passing attack, he has minimal inline blocking
experience but I would hope that with his size and strength this stuff can
be coached. I have him as the #1 TE coming out this draft over Ebron, I know
that's not the popular opinion but I am going off of what I see on tape and
upside potential.
ASJ would be the safe pick, I am not saying he is inferior in anyway just
saying he is not going to take over a game like Amaro/Ebron can. I love his
blocking he is physical at the point of attack, I personally would like to
go away from the we only use TE's to block philosophy, I would like a
legitimate threat at the TE position. *ASJ is the type of player the Giants
look for at TE.

Batch Scripting Essentials 2: Uncoupling I/O from a Main Program
[ Thanks to Jeff McAllister for Part II in this series. Part I appeared in issue 259 . ]
It's been a while, but here's the next installment on the complex topic of automating tasks necessary for supercomputing.
In this article I will describe how to de-couple I/O tasks from a main program by a crude sort of "message passing" between processes.
For example, what if your program wrote files on a regular basis (i.e. outputs at the end of timesteps) but needed to do something additional like compress those files or move them around? These tasks, while not computationally intensive, can take a lot of time. You could depend on having a lot of space -- just write everything and deal with it later -- but this doesn't scale. Soon it's not just a matter of a bigger quota because there's not that much disk to be had anywhere. It would be nice if the auxiliary I/O processing could happen for each file as soon as it was written, and if it didn't involve changing much of the main model's code.
It turns out that tasks like this can often be handed off to other processes, even running in different scripts, with only minor changes to the original program.
First, some communication or synchronization must be established between the cooperating processes. (You don't, for instance, want to compress or move a file that is still being written.) There are many ways to do this, but what has always seemed simplest to me is just appending the name of each output file, right after the main program has finished writing it, to a "finished list" file.
The "helper" process running concurrently can wake up every few seconds, read this file, and determine whether there is anything new to do. (By the way, the time between checks isn't very sensitive -- each check is almost free. However, to avoid filling up more disk than necessary, the check rate should not be too much greater than the rate at which the files are created.)
Here are the steps which would need to appear in a batch submission script to start the two processes:
- submit (llsubmit, qsub, etc.) the script to start the helper process.
- start the main job.
This is just like "chaining" jobs (see Batch Scripting Essentials I in issue 259, except that both scripts run at the same time.
Second, the "helper" must know when the main program has terminated and, thus, when the "finished list" won't be getting any longer. That is, the "helper" must know when to quit. An easy solution is for the main program to create a special file to flag the "helper" that it's done. With a little extra logic, the helper script can detect this file and exit.
I've written a quick demo (see:
http://www.arsc.edu/~mcallist/Examples/) that shows how this system might work. To run it you will need these two files:
- write_test.pl -- a "model model" to write regular files, and simulate the "messages" that a real program would need to provide the helper script,
- autoshrink.pl -- which compresses files as they are written.
Additionally, there are batch submission scripts for ARSC systems:
- icehawk ( LLwrite_icehawk, LLshrink_icehawk )
- iceflyer ( LLwrite_iceflyer, LLshrink_iceflyer )
- yukon ( write_yukon.qsub, shrink_yukon.qsub )
- chilkoot ( write_chilkoot.qsub, shrink_chilkoot.qsub )
Run the demo as follows:
- submit the "write" script. (This will submit the compress script too.)
- check the job listing. You should see that both scripts are active.
- type 'ls $WRKDIR' every few seconds. You should see files being created and compressed.
On iceflyer it should work something like this:
Submit the job:
iceflyer 2% llsubmit LLwrite_iceflyer llsubmit: The job "iceflyer.3617" has been submitted.
Verify the two scripts are running:
iceflyer 3% llq Id Owner Submitted ST PRI Class Running On ------------------------ ---------- ----------- -- --- ------------ ----------- iceflyer.3617.0 jmtester 5/2 15:52 R 50 large f1n1 f1n2.487.0 jmtester 5/2 15:52 R 50 work iceflyer
Watch the files as they are produced, then compressed:
iceflyer 4% ls $WRKDIR finished.lst test.file.0.gz test.file.1.gz test.file.2.gz test.file.3
Both scripts should finish at approximately the same time.
If you need to compress files, you could probably use the autoshrink.pl script with no changes. Note, however, that these scripts are offered only as a demo. If you use them for your real application, you must provide your own validation and testing. That said, in your application program you would make two modifications. Your program must:
- append to the "finished.lst" file the names of the files the program has finished writing,
- create the special file, "done.tmp", just before it terminates.
This method can be expanded to a wide variety of tasks. Basically anything that can be initiated with a small signal relatively infrequently (there are overheads involved, especially with all of the file opens that need to occur). I've found it especially helpful for I/O and system interaction -- stuff that scripting languages are especially good at and Fortran isn't.
No promises when, but storage abstraction and file staging will be the next article in this "series."

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I assign a full path and file name to an environment variable, with [[ a result similar to this: [[ [[ setenv FILENAME /usr/local/include/mpi.h [[ [[ all a _really_ need is the file name, like this: [[ [[ mpi.h [[ [[ These annoying little details are just like mosquitoes. How do I [[ strip off the path without writing yet another little perl script [[ that I'm sure's been written 10,000 times before? # # This may be a record for number of responses when no prize was # involved! Thanks to Martin Luthi, Gene McGill, Kurt Carlson, John # Metzner, Rich Griswold, Nic Brummell, John Skinner, and Kate Hedstrom. # # Here's the range of answers: # You can get just the filename: % basename $FILENAME mpi.h % Or the directory name: % dirname $FILENAME /usr/local/include % Or the filename without the suffix: % basename $FILENAME .h mpi % # # For CSH users: # Wow! An easy one. The shell has variable modifiers. % echo $FILENAME:h /usr/local/include % echo $FILENAME:t mpi.h # # CSH, and portability: # The basename method is the more portable of the two. The :modifier [:t, :h, etc] method won't work under UNICOS, AIX, or SOLARIS C shells (on our systems) for true environment variables. However, the :modifier method WILL work for regular shell variables on all these OS's. % set shoo=/why/not; echo $shoo:t Both methods do work under the LINUX csh/tcsh shell however, for those of us with linux clusters. Is nothing in life ever really portable but death and taxes?!? # # KSH, and performance: # To accomplish this with ksh use: % echo ${FILENAME##*/} mpi.h And to get the directory instead of the filename: % echo ${FILENAME%/*} /usr/local/include A single '#' above will get everything after the first '/' instead of the last '/'. Likewise, a double '%' will strip everything after the last '/'. Here's another parsing example: % TEST="aaa:bbb:ccc" % echo ${TEST#*:} bbb:ccc % echo ${TEST%%:*} aaa These are ksh built in capabilities, which means they are much more efficient than invoking commands or perl scripts. These are posix extensions which are not available in true Bourne (sh) shells still supported on some UNIX variants. Q: I run a series of batch jobs (NQS, LoadLeveler, PBS, whatever). Each run must create its own directory for output. My current method is to manually edit the batch script for each run, typing the name for the output directory, like this: OUTDIR="results.028" this variable is used later in the script, e.g.,: mkdir $OUTDIR cd $OUTDIR I don't care much what names are used for the directories. Can you recommend a way, if there is one, to come up with reasonable names, automatically?

Action-Filled, Arcade-Style Flight Combat Game Now Coming for Xbox 360™ and Xbox®
SAN FRANCISCO – December 12, 2005 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that the action-filled flight combat game Blazing Angels™ Squadrons of WWII will be released for Xbox 360™ and Xbox® video game and entertainment systems from Microsoft in Q4 FY 2005-2006.
In Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII, players test their air-combat skills as they experience the most famous battles of World War II. As a squadron leader, players can fly up to 38 WWII aircraft in both single-player and multiplayer missions.
Developed by Ubisoft, Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII features innovative squadron-based combat, in which each artificial intelligence wingman's specialized skill can be used to the pilot's advantage. During the course of the 18-mission campaign, players will evolve along with their wingmen into an ace fighting force. Spectacular graphics enhance the combat experience in true World War II battle sites such as England, Germany, France, Morocco, Pearl Harbor, Midway and Tokyo. The heroic storyline that follows the evolution of a single squadron and the cinematic presentation create moments reminiscent of classic World War II movies. Pilots fly in close to Germany's industrial terrain during a bombing raid or emerge from the fog and cloud cover over London to engage the enemy. Up to 16 players online can engage over Xbox Live® online game service in head-to-head dogfights or cooperative team play between squadrons in 10 additional missions.
Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII for Xbox 360 will feature significant visual and sound enhancements that will take advantage of the powerful audio and graphical capabilities of Xbox 360's platform. Stunning graphics and improved sound will completely immerse the player in a cinematic experience as fights in epic air battles of World War II including:
• Enhanced 3D plane models: Highly detailed and authentic-looking planes make intensive use of environmental lighting and dynamic imagery.
• New improved and enlarged textures provide more detail for both planes and terrain: Players will see sun glare on their cockpits, light shafts streaking through clouds and detailed shadows on the environment. Cities, buildings and facilities have also been enhanced to take full advantage of advanced lighting effects and shading to create an intense, realistic atmosphere for cities and military bases.
• More realistic battle damage: Bullets hit planes and smoke dynamically streams from cannons and engines. Battle damage from bullets, bombs and downed planes is visible and persistent on both terrain and buildings.
• Dramatic presentation: Visual perception filtering will be enhanced including extended burn effects and motion blur to create even more drama. Intense shockwaves from explosions fill the sky with debris using dynamic lighting and particle effects made possible by Xbox 360's system.

Latest topics related to "Jimmy Clausen"
By Jesse Pugh on July 17, 2012 at 1:52 pm
One of the most asked questions of this Dolphins off-season has been one of the most difficult to answer: When will Ryan Tannehill be the Dolphins' starting quarterback?
It's a reasonable question. When a team invests the eighth overall pick in a player, fans expect him to play.
And if Miami would have selected a wide receiver or a guard or a linebacker with their first round pick, you can almost be assured that he would be all but penciled in atop the depth chart.

Essays on the Kalacakra Tantra in Honor of H.H. the Dalai Lama
The Kalacakra Tantra (Kalacakra means "wheel of time") is a tradition of Buddhist theory and practice whose root text treats a fantastic expanse of knowledge ranging from observations of the cosmos to investigations of meditative states and vital bodily energies. In the Tibetan-speaking world, a public Kalacakra initiation remains the most sought-after event in the life of a devout Buddhist. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama has long had a… Read More

A world premiere of music for clarinet and bassoon will highlight the Hope College department of music's Faculty Recital on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m. in Wichers Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The recital features the world premiere performance of Robert Brownlow's "Five Movements for Clarinet and Bassoon." Clarinetist Kristen Ward and her husband, bassoonist Steven Ward, will perform the piece, which they were responsible for commissioning. Support for the new work was provided by the Cultural Affairs Committee of Hope College, which supports a wide range of artistic experiences throughout the year.
Featuring mostly modern music, the recital also includes Paul Hindemith's "Sonata for Alto Saxophone" performed by Ryan Janus. In addition, two works for an unusual collaboration of cello, piano and soprano, by composer and conductor Andre Previn, will be performed by cellist Richard Piippo, pianist Jennifer Wolfe, and soprano Linda Dykstra.
The recital concludes with the Romantic tradition, with Johannes Brahms' "Sonata in E minor for Piano and Cello, Opus 38" as performed by Piippo and pianist Charles Aschbrenner.
Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the middle of the Hope campus, between College and Columbia avenues along the former 12th Street.
The Jan. 27 event is the second of six recitals to be given by members of the Hope faculty throughout the winter and spring of 2002. The series will continue on Sunday, Feb. 17, at 4 p.m.; Sunday, March 10, at 4 p.m.; Tuesday, March 12, at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, April 7, at 4 p.m. The March 12 recital will be in Dimnent Memorial Chapel; the other concerts will be presented in Wichers Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.

We arrived at the park around 10:30am. The parking lot is small so we were excited to be able to park in the lot and not have to hike up the steep hill. We walked around the grounds for a few minutes, looked at the James Dean bronze bust, and then headed for the entrance. Minor set back here. The entrance was not open. In fact it would not open till noon. I read and remembered all of the useless facts, but not the hours of operation.
We decided that instead of hanging around waiting for the place to open for an hour and a half we would head to the Simi Valley to visit the Reagan Library. Our retreat turned out to be a good decision. As we were heading back to our car, 3 school buses full of 4' summer campers pull in. The retreat turned out to be a better idea than originally thought.
We returned to the Observatory around 4:30pm. The Observatory was great. First we watched a star show in the planetarium. Then it was dinner time. We ate Wolfgang Puck fast food in the cafeteria. I don't think Wolfgang would appreciate me calling his creations fast food, but I didn't appreciate dropping $30 bucks on two sandwiches, some chips, and sodas. I am over it so he can get over it too.
We sat outside on the veranda, (fancy LA word for balcony), overlooking LA while we ate. That was neat.
We continued exploring the building. The basement has a replica of the solar system. Each of the planets has a scale on which you can check what your weight would be on that planet. I wanna move to Jupiter. I weigh less than 100lbs there.
Sarah got to mess around with the bronze statue of Einstein. She even played the pull my finger game with him. Ah, 12 year old humor. I don't know where she gets this stuff.
Unfortunately the telescope was not going to open until after 8pm. We decided to head back down the mountain to the hotel to rest for tomorrow.

(Rick Hickman / American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, May 03, 2013 10:45 AM
By Eric Cormier / American Press
Hundreds of people met at the Lake Charles Civic Center on Thursday to observe National Prayer Day.
Monroe resident Dennis Swanberg, who describes himself as a Christian humorist and impressionist, was the keynote speaker during a lunch inside the Civic Center's main auditorium.
Swanberg's message to the audience was to keep a close relationship with God.
"Let him (the Lord) be your best friend. So when you pray, your prayers will be heard," Swanberg said. "It is a whole lot easier to talk to your friend."
Swanberg peppered his speech with funny lines while mimicking Don Knotts, James Stewart, John Wayne, Tom Hanks, Howard Cosell, Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham and Ronald Reagan.
"I love doing impressions and telling stories about real people," Swanberg said.
To make his point about the necessity of nurturing a spiritual relationship, Swanberg used the illustration of modern-day friendships.
"Friends make a difference. If you could afford to live anywhere, be with your friends," he said. "It's OK to have friends, and it's OK to have best friends. Everyone needs close friends."
The event was organized by the Profit N Loss Association of Lake Charles.
Along with public speaking, Swanberg has produced broadcast shows like "Swan's Place" and "The Dennis Swanberg Show." His is also a published author.
Swanberg, a graduate of Baylor University, has master's and doctoral degrees from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
In 1952 the federal government established the National Day of Prayer, which is observed on the first Thursday in May.

Fellowships and Beyond
Service and learning are processes that should continue beyond seasons, beyond semesters, and beyond Bowdoin.
We support students who wish to engage in intensive public work over summer break, during winter vacation, and after graduation. And since we deeply believe that committed and qualified students should have the opportunity to engage in these life-building and life-changing experiences regardless of their need to earn summer wages, the McKeen Center offers an array of fellowship opportunities for full-time work with community initiatives in the United States and abroad. Not only do fellowships help students explore career options while building capacity in non-profit and civic organizations, but they also offer students the chance to tangibly contribute to communities today and gain the tools necessary to lead communities in the future. And when a student sees a need in a community that isn't being addressed, we're here to help them lead from day one.
Questions about fellowship, internship, and postgraduate opportunities can be addressed to Tom Ancona, associate director.

Adding That Little Bit of Glamour
Back in the days of Cosmetics To Go, the inventors were rather fond of creating innovative make-up and colour cosmetics. Rowena, in particular, has always been the leading light in inventing new make-up ranges for us (well she is incredibly glamorous so it kind of makes sense!)
When LUSH first started, we stuck to making fresh handmade cosmetics, like lovely things for the bath and shower, as well as skin and hair care. If you think about it, makeup often requires packaging -- and the creative team just didn't have the money to spend on packaging. It was much more sensible to stick to making naked products instead.
After a while though, the urge to invent colour cosmetics crept back in and Ro headed up a brand new project -- our sister company, B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful. 'B' was an exquisite emporium of makeup and perfumery -- a veritable Aladdin's cave of all things pretty and feminine.
Sadly, we had to close 'B' a few years back, as it just wasn't as popular as we hoped it would be. Ro was very keen to make sure we didn't lose all of those fantastic inventions though -- so little by little, colours have been subtly appearing on LUSH shelves for the very first time.
However, the inventors are sticking to the principles of LUSH with their makeup inventions. They avoid packaging where possible, preferring naked, unpreserved goodies instead; the products are all tested exclusively on humans (just like all of our other products) and of course, they are designed to help you maintain your naturally healthy, beautiful skin.
Try our beautiful, luscious Lip Tints, experiment with our Colour Supplements and coat your legs with a summery shimmer with our Solid Body Tints.

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. The handover was very straightforward and friendly. The apartment is clean and cozy.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Übergabe war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is smaller than the pictures, and is no so beauty as the pictures.
Actually this is not a recommendable place.
When we arrived we think "We should have gone to an hotel".
A small apartment, though. A pleasure !!!
Un pequeńo apartamento muy bien ubicado. Un placer!!!
The studio in the Rue Greneta is very originel and we stayed there for a very nice holiday week. Within a radius of 200 meters all necessary shops can be reached; next to normal supermarkets very nice bakeries, cheese and fruit shops and a very appealing Italian tort food store and several wine shops. Also nice restaurants and cafes are available in the immediate vicinity. The studio is very central. Many attractions are within walking distance. Metro and bus station are 5 minutes away.
Das Studio in der Rue Greneta ist sehr originel und wir haben dort eine sehr schöne Urlaubswoche verbracht. Im Umkreis von 200 Metern sind alle notwendigen Geschäfte zu erreichen; neben normalen Supermärkten sehr schöne Bäckereien, Käse- und Obstgeschäfte und ein sehr ansprechender italienischer Deliktessenladen sowie mehrere Weingeschäfte. Auch hübsche Restaurants und Cafes sind in nächster Umgebung vorhanden. Das Studio liegt sehr zentral. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Metro- und Busstation sind keine 5 Minuten entfernt.
The small but very cozy apartment is ideal for spending a few days in Paris. Romantic and well structured has everything you need and also located in a neighborhood full of shops and live typical of the place.
It has two metro stations very close.
I recommend the place for a couple!
L'appartamento piccolo ma molto accogliente è l'ideale per passare qualche giorno a Parigi. Romantico e ben strutturato ha tutto ciò che serve ed inoltre si trova in un quartiere vivo e ricco di negozi tipici del luogo.
Ha due fermate metro molto vicine.
Consiglio il luogo ad una coppia!
The apartment is in a very good area full of bars and very close to all the attractions and is equipped so that nothing is missing in the stay
El departamento esta en una muy buena zona, llena de bares y muy cerca de todas las atracciones y esta equipado para que no falte nada en la estadia
Everything TipTop, gladly again. Very friendly and reliable supplier!
Alles TipTop, gerne wieder. Sehr freundliche und zuverlässige Anbieter!
There were three in the rather small but very cozy and clean apartment. A small drawback is that there are only two persons dishes, two cups, etc. In an otherwise good facilities. The handover was very straightforward that the deposit was not at all necessary, and we would be taken very friendly in reception. The location is perfect and is only a short time to many important places.
Wir waren zu dritt in dem recht kleinen aber sehr gemütlich eingerichteten und sauberen Appartement. Ein kleines Manko ist, dass es nur für zwei Personen Geschirr gibt, zwei Tassen, usw. Bei einer ansonsten guten Ausstattung. Die Übergabe lief völlig unkompliziert, die Hinterlegung der Kaution war garnicht nötig und wir würden sehr freundlich in Empfang genommen. Die Lage ist perfekt und man ist in kürzester Zeit an vielen wichtigen Orten.
Excellent location!!! The apartment is in a great supurb surrounded by some of the cities best cafes. Only downsides were it was on rthe 6th floor with no elevater and the hot water does not last long. Other then that, the apartment is well equiped and i would definately rwcommend a stay here

Quotes of the day
posted at 9:30 pm on January 3, 2010 by Allahpundit
"The parallels between the 1990s and today should offer only so much comfort for the Republicans, Barbour says, particularly on the presidential level. The year 2012 won't be an easy one for the GOP. After all, 'the predisposition of voters' is to reelect a president. At the same time, he cautions those who foresee a great, long liberal era to recall recent history. 'After 1992 the press wrote, 'The Republicans are dead; there's going to be a long Democrat era.' And after 2004 they wrote, 'They're going to have a long Republican era.'?'…
"One key element of Barbour's recipe for revival: expanding the Republican Party by reaching out to moderates. In the '90s, he backed moderate candidates in the Northeast and Midwest and helped to elect moderate governors like California's Pete Wilson, New Jersey's Christie Whitman, and Massachusetts's Bill Weld. He thinks the party ought to be doing the same thing today: 'People are crazy if they think we win by getting more pure. We win by getting big.'
"The National Republican Congressional Committee, the key cog in helping to finance GOP campaigns, has banked less than a third as much money as its Democratic counterpart and is ending the year with barely enough money to fully finance a single House race — no less the dozens that will be in play come 2010…
"Republicans are already expressing concerns that they may not have enough resources to fully take advantage of the political climate, which is shaping to be the most favorable for the GOP since the last time they took control of the House in 1994…
"The NRCC was also hurt financially during last month's special election in upstate New York. in which the committee endorsed and spent money on a moderate nominee, Dede Scozzafava, who quickly drew the ire of the conservative grass-roots.
"The committee spent nearly $1 million on the race, but more worrisome, lost support from many of the small-donor conservatives who have traditionally been a significant element of the committee's fundraising efforts."
"'A whole new cultural paradigm to the political process.' That must be what's gotten armchair activists like ourselves — who'd never done anything much political but gripe and moan on the blog and maybe write a few letters to the editor — to get up out of that armchair last March and April, Tea Party signs in hand, to tell the powers that be that we are "as mad as hell and aren't going to take this any more.'…
"Could anything be cooler than disintermediating a bunch of old fuddy-duddies via the Internet?"

Arsenal are 19/20 with GunnersGaming to beat Schalke in their Champions League clash at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have lost only two of their last 43 Champions League home games since 2003, with both of those defeats coming against English clubs.
Schalke have won just one of their last eight European games against English teams (W1, D1, L6) and have also failed to score in four of their last five games against English opponents.
The last time the two sides met in this competition was in the 2001/02 Group Stage, when Arsenal won 3-2 at home before losing 1-3 in Gelsenkirchen.
A repeat of the 3-2 scoreline is priced up at 19/1 but this is likely to be a tight affair and a 2-1 win for Arsenal tops the correct score market at 59/10.
One real positive as far as the Gunners are concerned is that they currently have the best conversion rate in the competition so far, scoring with 36 per cent of their shots - and face a side who have conceded on the three occasions their opponents have managed shots on target.
Lukas Podolski has scored four goals in his last three Champions League matches and is a 13/10 chance with GunnersGaming to get on the scoresheet. He can also be backed at 11/2 to net the opening goal.
Olivier Giroud is 6/1 second favourite in the first goalscorer market, while Sant Cazorla is an 8/1 chance.
Arsenal to win by one goal is 7/3, while you can also back the home side to win after drawing at half time at 15/4 with GunnersGaming.

Dnichols: If wax is a major objective, yes you will get less. The cappings in the sludge plus burr comb, once rendered in a solar wax melter, filtered through a paper towl, are sufficent for me to add an additional coat of bees wax on plastic frames/foundation with a sponge type paint roller from a double boiler arrangement.
Crofter: I use a mix of wooden frames with wax foundation, plastic foundation (with an additional coat of my own beeswax), and Pierco all plastic frames also coated with my own bees wax. I have not had a problem with the heat gun being too hot for any of the pastic. However, keep in mind that it is a matter of technique, which one must learn, sometimes the hard way.
All frames from the extraction the other day are now back on the hives for bee cleanup. Above the bulk of the hive I have: the inner cover, a completely empty medium super, a medium super full of 10 recently extracted frames, and then the outer cover. The theory is, that if left in that sequence for 7-10 days the bees will clean up and move downward into the main hive all of the residual honey from the recently extracted frames. The repair of any damage to the cells is an additional step which I will take at a leter time.

Dell Earnings Disappoint as PC Sales, Windows 8 Fail to Save It

(Source: greenrightnow.com)
Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion
Dell's financial report for the third quarter seems to have missed the targets predicted by Wall Street on many levels due to
sluggish PC sales
For Q3 2012, Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion from a year previous (Wall Street expected $13.9 billion). Its net income fell from $893 million (49 cents per share) in Q3 2011 to $475 million (27 cents per share) in Q3 2012.
A large reason for Dell's financial tumble is the lack of demand for PC upgrades. Dell's PC shipments fell 8.3 percent in Q3 2012 from a year earlier.
"In a difficult global IT spending environment we saw solid proof points that demonstrate progress in our strategy," said Brian Gladden, Dell CFO. "A highlight has been the strong progress of our newly introduced servers, with our server and networking business up 11 percent. We're also encouraged by early interest in our new Windows 8 touch portfolio and the opportunities it creates for our commercial and consumer businesses."
Looking forward
, Dell predicts a fourth quarter revenue of $14 billion to $14.4 billion, which is a bit less than the $14.5 billion analysts were shooting for. In Q4 2011, revenue was $16 billion.
In response to all of this disappointing news, Dell stock dropped to $8.81 this morning, which is the lowest its been since March 12, 2009.
While Dell is
looking to Windows 8 for some kind of revival
, the new operating system hasn't provided any immediate boost for PC makers. In fact, Gladden said Windows 8 wouldn't affect Dell's financial results for the next two quarters.
"The client business continues to be challenging," said Gladden. "Commercial customers tend to be lagging adopters of a new operating system. They're going to wait."
To make matters worse, Microsoft doesn't solely depend on PC makers for hardware anymore. Last month, it released its first tablet hardware,
Surface RT
, which features the RT version of the Windows 8 mobile OS. Next year, Microsoft plans to release the Surface Pro, which will run Windows 8 Pro.

The X.Org Endless Vacation of Code (EVoC)
For the last several years, X.Org was a participating mentoring organization in Google's most excellent Summer of Code (GSoC) program. That program provides approximately US$5000 to students to spend their summer developing code for an open source project. Each student proposes a project and is matched with an organization mentor who guides and evaluates the work. GSoC was great for X.Org; we saw more than a dozen students through it, and some of these students went on to be extremely active contributors to X.Org.
However, for whatever reason some students with good project proposals who would like to participate in GSoC have been unable to do so. Typically, this was because Google funded fewer high-quality GSoC proposals than we had available in a given year, or because the rigid timing of GSoC was entirely incompatible with a student's calendar.
Rather than lose out on getting students working on X, the X.Org Foundation Board voted in 2008 to initiate a program known as the X.Org Endless Vacation of Code (EVoC) program. The basic terms and conditions of this program are quite similar to Google's GSoC. The key differences are that:
- an EVoC mentorship can be initiated at any time during the calendar year,
- the Board can fund as many of these mentorships as it sees fit.
We will also consider a broader range of proposals than GSoC: technical documentation is a specific area of interest for us.
A proposal will typically be for a period of three to four months of contiguous nearly-full-time work, with an initial payment of $500 and two further payments of $2250 upon completion of project milestones. The proposal should include a detailed proposed scope of work and schedule; see the X.Org GSoC Application page for more information about writing successful proposals. Proposals must acquire a lead mentor from the X.Org technical community in order to be accepted; if the student can help identify this person early, that will increase their chance of success.
Non-students may also participate in EVoC. Application and participation for non-students is the same as for students, with one exception: non-students will not be paid. The X.Org Foundation believes that paying non-students to help develop X leads to a variety of problems, not least of which is complicating the non-profit status of the Foundation. For EVoC purposes, a student is someone who is a half-time or more college or university student during, immediately before or immediately after their EVoC period. Secondary school students 18 years of age or older are also eligible; sadly, it is legally complicated to pay younger students.
Students are welcome to either come up with an idea on their own or work up a proposal for an idea suggested by someone else. Lists of ideas that existing developers have come up with can be found at ToDo and Ideas.
Hanging out on the irc channels (listed below) and talking with people there is an excellent way to flush out ideas and/or possible mentors.
Students need to have at least a basic understanding of the following:
- mailing lists
- irc (graphics developers use irc.freenode.net #xorg-devel,#xorg, #dri-devel, #nouveau and #wayland to name a few.)
- gcc
- git
- Be comfortable using a linux shell and command line
At the current time, X.Org Board member Rob Clark robdclark AT gmail DOT com is the contact person for X.Org EVoC. All inquiries should be emailed to him, with a cc to email@example.com.
In addition to GSoC requirements for the actual proposal there is:
- Applicants can show proof of university attendence, either immediately preceeding session, or immediately following session.
- Applicants must have a financial account, either checking or savings, in their own name, that is capable of wire transfers.
- Applicants must already be involved with the project and known to the community. (This requirement is so that the majority of project time is spent on the actual project, not on figuring out build systems, contributions rules, etc.)
- Applicants are in regular and close contact with their X.Org mentors.
- Applicants are able to post public status reports to a blog and/or the development community's mailing list.
- Applicants know their target programming language.
- Applicants has successfully upstreamed a simple patch to demonstrate they know the process.
Checklist for Initial Mentor/Student Interview
The mentor should verify the following are all addressed before officially accepting the student for the program:
- Review the student's proof of university attendance
- Review the student's upstreamed patch
- Is the student aware of the rules and regulations of GSoC?
- Has the student indicated they satisfy all the requirements listed above?
- Has the student verified they can accept (IBANN or SWIFT) wire transfers with their bank?
- Does the student have a reliable internet connection for the duration of the program? What are their backup options if their connection is disrupted?
- Does the student have the necessary computer hardware and a working development environment on an appropriate operating system version? What is their contingency plan in case it breaks?
- Does the student have the required time availability? When do the students classes/finals end? When does the next session start? Does they have any other obligations between those dates (part-time jobs, vacations, family commitments, studies, etc.) How many hours per day do they expect to work?
- Does the student have a blog set up and ready to post to? Or else would they prefer sending status reports to the project's public mailing list?

I'm in! This looks like a fun project and i like to sew 'with' others. A tote has been on my to-do list for a while now, this is just the thing to get me going. See you next week!
Can't wait!
Hi Carolyn, I am in I have making a tote down on my list of things to do, already have the fabric just need the zipper which I can get when I go into town next week. I really enjoyed making the table runner, it has been greatly admired by many people and I aim to make another two. I am going to work on getting pictures to post because I love seeing everyone's projects and would love to share mine. See you all next weekend.
hmmmmmmm interesting. I just hope I can remember! This is something different I am not accustomed to - may just try it. Thank you so much for starting this.
Carolyn: You've done it again. I've made a carryall but never a bag. What a great opportunity to try something new! Can't thank you enough for your time and effort in putting together these great retreats. In case you can't tell I'm in!
I've never made a Tote Bag before. I sure do like this one! I am planning on participating.
Got my fabrics for this project today at LQS (from the sale rack even!). I started out wanting a blue floral fabric with blue accents, but they didn't have quite what I envisioned, but this will be fun.
Sapphire - Love the fabrics, you have great taste
Have a Blessed night

Hey there JimmyT. I hadn't seen many post from you latley, thought you'd got caught up in some of this funky weather going round. That rail is SWEET, I wouldn't mind one of those for my MADDI. I'll bet you could sell a few here and other places too, I'd patent that one. Is it attached to the cover too? Sent us some more pics of it if you can, never know you could become a rich old boy with that set up. I like it.

Reviews of this property
Apartamento bien ubicado, estas a un paso del meollo pero en un ambiente tranquilo. Bien equipado y bastante amplio, nosotros fuimos con un bebe de 1 año y nos vino bien que tuviera espacio. Lo peor sin duda el extractor del baño que hace un ruido infernal pero por lo demas muy bien. Recomendable.
Reviews for this host's other properties
A perfect Trip! The host welcomed us very friendly. He was waiting at the apartment when we arrived. He showed us the apartment, gave us a map of Seville and showed us the most important sights. He gave us his contact dates and the WiFi-Password before he left.
The apartment is perfekt. It's clean, bright and very comfortable. There is a kitchen with washing machine, a "living room" with a TV and a little table with two chairs, a comfortable bed and a separate bathroom just for the guests. You will find there everything you need: towels, hairdryer, dishes, a perfect working air conditioner and roller blind which makes the apartment totally dark.
The apartment is approximately 15 minutes by walking far from the cathedral and the palace. The city center for shopping is closer.
I would book this apartment everytime again. =D
Apartementos Diaber has helped us several times during our stay in the appartment. First, there is a difference of time between Portugal ans Spain. We didn't knew that. A co-worker of Apartementos Diaber has waited one hour before we arrived at the appartement. Of course we have apologized ourselves profoundly and the co-worker seemed not too angry. Secondly the co-worker came to the apppartment to connect de WIFI. The appartment was very comfortable, clean and well located.
Very very nice apartment in a small street in the city center of beautiful seville!!! Everything is reachable in walking distance!
Everything is very clean. I dont need to say more, the apartment is just superb!!! Would definitely recommend and book it again!!
5 Stars!!
Perfect location in heart of Sevilla.
Great room/penthouse and 2 terraces !
Everybody should choose this location when staying a couple of days in this beautiful city !
We had an excellent stay @ Larana Penthouse. The appartment is well-located in the center of Seville. It is clean, with plenty of space and an amaizing terrace, which looks over the city. Thank you again to our hosts!
spacious apartment for 2 people, ideal suffered with the main attractions of the city. All within walking distance. Despite the central location and very little noise from outside. The only noise came from upstairs neighbors.
ruime appartement voor 2 personen, ideaal geleden bij de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden van de stad.
Allemaal binnen loopafstand te bereiken.
Ondanks de centrale liggen zeer weinig geluidsoverlast van buiten.
De enige geluidsoverlast kwam van de bovenburen.
The location really is ideal as the others have written. It was central to all points and the action is only blocks away and yet the apartment is in a pocket of relative calm. I liked looking out the window to see the visitors and locals walk by on the pedestrian-only street (I heard which was recently converted over from a busy auto thoroughfare). On a Sunday morning, we heard some easy live music. The occasional tram passing and some happy restaurant goers nearby add to the charm. The windows were excellent in shutting out the sound, if needed. The apartment was very clean and well-taken care of. It was comfortable and the hosts were also very nice people.
Muy amables y dándonos facilidades para todo. Tuvimos un problema, que gracias a ellos se resolvió perfectamente. Estamos muy agradecidos.
Apartamento genial. Ubicación perfecta.
Totalmente recomendable.

Is there any reason I can't inspect the TBH in stages? With removing comb attached to the side, and cutting cross comb, and getting testy because of the humidity, I'd like to take a break as I go thru the hive. I'm sure the bees would appreciate it also.
I'm thinking when I come to a stopping point, cover the opening with a piece of plywood and come back after a cool drink.
Thoughts? - Mike
