Small plane makes forced landing near Springs airport
COLORADO SPRINGS - A Cessna 172 made a forced landing shortly after departure at the Colorado Springs Airport Wednesday morning.
Aviation Assistant Director of Operations and Maintenance John McGinley said the incident happened around 8 a.m.
The small plane was taking off from runway 35-L when it lost power and made a forced landing in a field north of the runway.
"It's fortunate to have a field out there that the aircraft pilot can take advantage of," said McGinley.
The two people on board suffered minor injuries and went to the hospital as a precaution, McGinley said.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department, AMR, Peterson Fire Department and airport operations staff all responded to the scene.
The west gate at Peterson Air Force Base was closed for a short time after the crash but has reopened.
The incident is under investigation. The airport notified the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration about the incident. The groups will send an investigator to look at the crash site, the aircraft and interview the pilot to try to determine the factors leading into the crash.
"The cause is currently under investigation and I can't speculate what it might be," said McGinley.
McGinley said it isn't uncommon for pilots to notify air traffic control about mechanical problems as they're leaving or approaching Colorado Springs Airport. However, it isn't common for aircraft to be forced to make an emergency landing. He said it happens about once a year.
"It's clear the pilots had to make some quick decisions and did a very good job and put the aircraft in the field," said McGinley.
McGinley said airport operations are not affected.

everyone might think im stupid and uneducated about handguns when i ask this question but when using the sights am i supposed to keep one eye closed or both eyes open?

everyone might think im stupid and uneducated about handguns when i ask this question but when using the sights am i supposed to keep one eye closed or both eyes open?
There are some who swear that you need to always have both open, and some who don't. Ten yards and in, I have both open, beyond that, as much as I try not to, I find myself closing my left eye when I shoot.
Both eyes open has distinct advantages for SD type shooting, and is the recommended way to learn. But it doesn't hurt a thing to squint one eye if you are really 'bearing down' on on a small target, at longer ranges, if it helps you concentrate.
I generally shoot with one eye closed.
so i guess its more of a preference kind of thing?
I find that keeping both eyes open increases my peripheral vision, so I can register other targets while shooting at a particular one, or see movements that might indicate a threat.
I also find that closing one eye helps me shoot more accurately at greater distances.
Generally, I keep both eyes open when shooting a pistol at short ranges and when using a very-low-power rifle scope. Otherwise, I close my weak-side eye.
Any method you choose to accomplish that will be adequate to the task. People learn to shoot well using a lot of different methods. There are the 'standard' ways that have proved to be very effective for the largest number of people, but then there are always a small number of 'oddballs' out there who break all the rules of good marksmanship, and still manage to shoot surprisingly well.
I recently read something that immediately made me say, "Yes! Of course."
The thesis was that your trigger technique is much more important than your sighting technique. Your eyes will "automatically" take care of the sighting process, but you have to train your body, hands, and trigger finger to properly press (not "squeeze") the trigger. "Sighting errors" are almost always due to faulty trigger control!
The trigger of any gun—rifle, pistol, or shotgun—should be pressed straight back. Any sideways, upwards, or downwards pressure will cause an inaccurate shot. Further, the press should be smooth, not jerky or intentionally quick.
Work on your trigger press. Your eyes will take care of themselves.

thanks yall this site is pretty cool ive absorbed alot of useful info being a new handgun owner. i learn more everyday. thanks again.
I had been closing 1 eye because I thought it was what I was suppose to do. Im glad that the mojority say to keep bothe eyes open. I had been occasionally opening both eyes for a few seconds because when I close 1 eye for to long the sites get blurry.
Cant wait to get back to the range and try it with both eyes open.
I shoot both rifle and pistol with both eyes open. With practice your brain focuses on the eye lined up with the sights/scope and eases the strain of keeping the off eyelid closed. Having both eyes comes in handy when multiple targets present themselves.

In the last week or so, I've been attempting to implement pathfinding for my first time. I've been reading a tutorial on the general concept and have been trying to implement it on my own. For the Closed List and Open List, I use std::vector. The guide says once I find the optimal node to delete it from the Open List and add it to the Closed List. I'm doing that with this code:
The issue is that the wrong node is being deleted from the Open List, causing the pathfinding calculations to flow in an infinite loop. For Instance:
Closed List = (9,4)
Open List = (9,3) (10,4)
After the code I posted above executes, the vectors look like this:
Closed List = (9,4) (9,3)
Open List = (9,3)
While they should look like this
Closed List = (9,4) (9,3)
Open List = (10,4)
I checked the lowF value, and it is 0. So openList.erase(openList.begin()+lowF) should be the same as openList.erase(openList.begin()). For some reason, that line of code is deleting the second element in the vector instead of the first. I'm attaching a error log file I printed out. I'd appreciate any help. ty

Drawings by Leigh Anne Lester
Institute of Texan Cultures' Texas Contemporary Artists Series opens July 18
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 17, 2009)--The Institute of Texan Cultures will display drawings by Leigh Anne Lester from July 18 to Oct. 25 as part of the ongoing Texas Contemporary Artists Series. UTSA curator Arturo Almeida says Lester's work is inspired by flora that defines the Texas landscape.
>> The exhibit is free and open to the public. An opening reception, hosted by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo, is 5:30-7:30 p.m., Thursday, July 23.
"The complexity and beauty in her art is both a reminder of the awe-inspiring wonder that is life and a premonition of the consequences of altering nature," said Almeida in his curator's statement.
The exhibition work also was inspired by Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" in which unknown powers are explored, and when unfolded to the world reveal "the deepest mysteries of creation." Lester's art addresses the place between the genesis of genetic modification and its aftereffects. She wants the viewer to consider all possible outcomes of introducing new species, from upsetting the natural balance to successfully creating new species.
The drawings in the exhibition are composed of multiple layers of semi-transparent Mylar with an historical botanical image drawn or cut on each layer. The transparency of each sheet allows the line of each botanical to blend into the next layer, as if a new species had been engineered from a variety of plants. The titles of Lester's works combine the scientific names of the plant species presented, resulting in pieces such as "Lavalathdactsempndulyrusylorerviahizavuma Stoetubemacutectchasrosulataorum."
Sculpturally, Lester has recreated the notorious Johnson grass weed from hand-sewn, clear plastic vinyl. Displayed in three islands, the arrangement implies the propagation of an invasive species. Johnson grass was supposedly introduced for livestock grazing, but can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. The weed can reproduce both by seeds and rhizomes, making it a fast-spreading nuisance species.
"Too often, we don't have a clear view of what the ramifications will be for a plant that has been altered or the species that depend upon it for survival," Lester's artist statement reads. "The new outcome of this, potentiality, can capsize a natural balance or create a new species for that balance. This possibility is as exciting as it is frightening."
Originally from Shreveport, La., Lester moved to San Antonio in 1989 and received her bachelor of fine arts degree in painting from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 1993.
The Texas Contemporary Artists Series (TCAS) exhibitions showcase the talent of some of Texas' premier artists. In keeping with Institute of Texan Cultures' mission of engaging the understanding and celebration of Texas' cultural heritage, the series focuses on the work of contemporary artists who call Texas home. Common to all of their work is the bold vision and unbridled exuberance that is the quintessence of Texan culture.
The series opened with an exhibition of works by artist Luis Valderas, which ran from January to March this year. Upcoming exhibits will highlight the work of Carmen Oliver (February-April 2010) and Henry Cardenas (August-October 2010).
The Institute of Texan Cultures is on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus, 851 E. Durango Blvd., in downtown San Antonio near the Alamo and River Walk. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday; noon-5 p.m., Sunday; closed Monday. Admission is $8 for adults (ages 12-64); $7 for seniors (ages 65+); $6 for children (ages 3-11); and free with membership, UTSA or Alamo Colleges identification.
For more information, call (210) 458-2300 or visit the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site.
The Institute of Texan Cultures is an agency of the UTSA Office of the Vice President for Community Services. The institute's mission is to engage lifelong learners in the understanding and celebration of Texas cultural heritage. The 182,000-square-foot complex features 65,000 square feet of interactive exhibits and displays that tell the stories of Texans.
The institute develops quality, accessible resources for educators and lifelong learners on topics of cultural heritage and strives to develop a rich and vibrant culture in the arts and humanities that will expand the community's awareness and appreciation of Texas through an engaging series of exhibits, programs and special events. Resources for multiple audiences are available at the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by TAHbKA, Oct 16, 2012.
Exactly. That's why Plushenko bombed big time in 2010.
And at 2012 Euros.
Skating moves along in advances and plateaus about one thing or another if you observe it long enough (I've been a skating fan for over 5 decades). We have just been through the addition of the quad as well as CoP recently - both advances (well, that's a matter of opinion but let's say they are). Both are firmly grounded in athleticism (no matter what the intention of CoP is) and that's a killer of a challenge for skaters even a few years older than their prime skating years.
If the advance had been in expressiveness or musicality then the maturing skater might even have an advantage but this is sheer athleticism and that doesn't mitigate for the maturing skater. I agree that if a skater didn't have an element as demanding as a quad jump (any one of them) at his peak, achieving it with any consistency several years later in one's eligible career is very unlikely. It's not a matter of will or hard work, but may be what the body's limits are at any given point.
And Plushy developed a quad quite a long time ago (in competitive years which is sorta like dog years); he's not trying to develop at a new level of athleticism now. He is also the exception to almost every rule!
I think it was interesting that Weir said that his body wasn't used to falling, which, if a skater is trying to re-master a jump that wasn't consistent to begin with, would be frequently.
How do you know what you know, overedge, or think you know?
As far as Carolla saying "sorry," obviously she did not specifically say what she's "sorry" about. She prefaced "Sorry," and then rushed right into voicing her critical and negative views of Johnny, so I doubt she's really apologizing for her views, apologizing for stating them, or just apologizing to the air, and she's certainly not apologizing to Johnny for what she thinks about him. If she were actually "sorry," she might have thought about keeping her views to herself, or maybe phrasing them in a less negative way. But alas, that's apparently not what most of us come here to do.
No, everything everyone believes they "know about him is apparently right." Even, if I do say so myself, 9 times out of 10, I may just be right, or wrong. At the least, I admire Johnny so I tend to look more at the positives I associate with him, not the negatives. In the long drawn out scheme of the universe, who cares really? Certainly not Mr. Johnny Weir-Voronov. He doesn't need to stoop low enough to care what fans who really don't care about him have to say, or even what fans who do care about him have to say especially in this here "train wreck."
Well, just like your saying "sorry," your "hoping" IMO also lacks credibility. Even if you were being genuine, in heavens name, why would you "hope" or think he needs to get back to what you personally "enjoyed"??? We all have our skater preferences and likes and dislikes and desires, but the way you are personalizing it with such nose-in-the-air pretentiousness, IMO, smacks of Republican self-righteousness.
Skaters don't need or have to "get back" to what any one of us "enjoyed." And unfortunately, neither will CoP ever "get back" to 6.0. IMO, it's difficult enough and more than enough for skaters to work hard on achieving their own goals and desires and attempting to live up to their own expectations.
More of same. You don't sound like you really really care all that much, Carolla. Were you truly a Johnny Weir fan back in the day, or just someone waiting around to see "a train wreck" in the making?
Honestly, Carolla, you've got that backwards. Innit more like you're the one "trashing" the skater whose skating you characterize as "like a train wreck." Funny thing tho' unlike you I doubt Johnny would require "a fireproof suit" to shrug away and dismiss the utter disdain and random piling on toward him that apparently will continue in one way or another here ad infinitum, and at every possible opportunity. Of course, neither Johnny nor his skating, nor watching his skating has anything to do with a "train wreck" but usually all the threads about him on FSU tend to turn into one.
True, and definitely hard on an older skater's body. BTW, Johnny specifically said: "... I had a very rapid weight loss to get prepared, and my body hasn't completely learned again what it's like to fall."
Weir is no Plushenko. Also skating regressed after 2006 and made it easier for Plush to be competitive since his strength has always been his jumps. Not only that now you need to do quads to even have a chance to win and Johnny and Evan are trying to learn quads after taking a couple years off at an advanced age for skaters.
I think the type of competitors we have at a given time is important. For example during legendary Michelle Kwan years, to beat her, one need to do more than what she could do. Just like to beat Yuna in 2010, the competitors will need to match her in every element. In short, we look at the top few and say.... what does it take to beat them in order to overtake them. Now if Weir or Evan want to podium, they must have quads since the top few now have quads ..... Chan, Hanyu, Dai, Kozuka, Fernandez, Machida .. and they are really the ones you must beat.
I am sure we will know in due course whether Weir will return to competition. He doesn't have much time left to start competing after a couple of years off training. Yuna is returning this year, and so must all those who want to return and compete in Sochi. Good luck to Weir and all these skaters. Though I am very curious as to which come back skater will prevail to Sochi. It is not an easy route..... IMO.
I am not sure if Johnny really is injured or if he just panicked and started to feel so unsure of himself that he had to withdraw. I read that during the practices he just stood in front of his coach for 10 minutes repeating that "He can't". I think he is very sensitive and coming back to competing again is very hard for him. He needs to find a positive attitude towards competing otherwise his come back is not going to last very long.
I can completely believe that poor Johnny is indeed injured. He's had MANY injuries over the years, and a dicey ACL is NOT something you want to mess with, because it can be career-ending if you rupture that. Better to be cautious about it.
I'm actually a fan of Johnny and his skating, but his SP is just . Seriously, Johnny? You come back to competitive skating after many years and we get (surprise!) another Lady Gaga homage? I like Lady Gaga as much as the next person, but Johnny's obession with her has reduced him to a one-note gimmick.
The "I'm too sexy for myself" choreography/posing, and yet another borderline dominatrix costume (what is with him and those things?)...argh. No subtlety whatsoever in that entire program. To compare this program with "The Swan" from 2006 is just painful.
I think he's a great person, and a brilliant skater/talent once upon a time, but this was an official jump the shark moment for me.
He definitely should've stayed in show skating.
I don't think there is nothing wrong with bringing some fresh air to figure skating programs. Most of them are pretty boring anyways but Johnny's SP really wakens up the audience. They love it. Some of them have arrived just to see the Gaga number. It's good for this sport.
From what I've been told by people who were at the arena, the reason Johnny was saying "I can't" is because he was in so much pain, he knew he would be unable to skate.
Johnny withdrew from TEB. His name is now crossed in the TEB roster.
I wouldn't call Lady Gaga fresh. Trendy for 5 minutes, but now stale and tired IMO.
from the replies,I seem to know why figure skating is dying in most of the country.the federation and fans just see it as a sports or circus,they want to attract people's attention,but made a totolly wrong way.
if one come to see a competition only for Gaga,will he come again?NO!unless next time you use PSY's GANGNAM STYLE.
why figure skating's new world is in asia?here,watching a figure skating is a high-end entertainment,like ballet or classical music concert,people like to go there even if the don't know what they'll see,so the shows can get many BIG sponsers,and TV will by the broadcast.then ISU and skaters will get more money.more people will come to see the competition and shows——this is beneficial cycle
I think totally opposite way. First of all Lady Gaga is fresh compared to the old war horses. Secondly, isn't it good that people COME to see figure skating, what ever the reason is? If they come once, they might come twice. They might see other interesting competitors and generally just start to like the sport. I think one of the reasons why figure skating is dying is that people think it's so old school: same old classical pieces, there is not much modern in this sport. It tells a lot if one figure skater out of hundred chooses a pop song and some people think it's terrible and ruining the sport? You can see that most of the spectators in the competitions in US and Canada were very old. In contrary, you'll see a lot of young audience in Europe. The audience is diverse and not everybody comes to see classical and traditional figure skating. Figure skating needs to younger it's image if we want more audience and young people to come to see it.
I fear that will pretty much be it for him then.
If he's hurt his ACL then he was really going to struggle to perform at TEB
Since he hasn't achieved the minimum score for worlds yet for either SP or LP (has he obtained the score for 4CCs?), then he'll need to get another international assignment if his goal at nationals is getting on the world team.
Apparently his ACL injury is located in his right hip.
I think Johnny needs a lesson on the names of the muscles in the body, which muscle would cause pain to radiate from knee up to hip?
IT band. I still have to stretch mine out almost daily because it got really screwy after I tore my ACL. It's possible you start overcompensating to protect your knee (even without wanting to) and that can at first feel like your hips are the ones that hurt.
Cannot believe I am defending Johnny here....
Well, we know IN never gets its info wrong.
I think we can wait for further details from Camp JW because as far as I could see Johnny referenced both his right hip and his ACL. Since injuries to these body areas (hip and knee) aren't typically related and since an ACL injury is very specific in terms of the pain one feels, perhaps it's best to wait for further clarification.
Here is a new article on Johnny. Reads:-
Thank you for paraphrasing the title of this thread.
I have been wondering about this.... Everyone on here keeps posting ACL, but Weir talks hip to NBC. Of course he also talks about ACL in an earlier quote.
Considering he had supposedly seen a doctor I assume he knows what is hurt.
If you listen to the two YouTube videos of him discussing his injury, he mentions."ACL" in both of them.
If you listen to the NBC video he mentions hip. Take your pick...
I posted this on the CoR thread but I'll post here too. I checked with IN. They reported the info about the injury that they got from USFSA (and I believe they were specific about that in the article) which was that it was a hip injury. So at the time that was the USFSA's understanding. What it turns out to be, anyone's guess... IN simply reported what USFSA said about it, that's all.

Less than four blocks wide at its broadest point, this laid-back retreat is located on a 34-mile-long barrier island, making it a prime spot for deep-sea fishing, dolphin-watching, or simply catching a wave. An action-packed resort town, South Padre is rife with family-friendly attractions like water parks and mini-golf, as well as beachside bars and clubs that appeal to the area's famed spring break crowds.
The Digs
La Copa Inn Beach Resort is just steps away from the warm sand and calm waves of the Gulf of Mexico. All guest rooms at this convenient retreat are appointed with two queen-size or one king-size Tempur-Pedic bed, high-speed Internet, a microwave, a refrigerator, a walk-in shower, and a balcony with full or partial views of the beach. A handful of rooms are equipped with Jacuzzi tubs, but there's also also an outdoor pool and hot tub on-site. Just minutes from South Padre's popular attractions, La Copa offers something for everyone.
The Diversions
• South Beach
• South Padre Island Dolphin Research & Sealife Nature Center
• Museums of Port Isabel
• Sea Turtle, Inc
• Laguna Madre Nature Trail

By Carl Dubois / Special to the American Press
The New York Times travels back in time to one of the most interesting high school football games in Louisiana history. To wit:
On Dec. 1, 1972, Surratt and Neville High School of Monroe in northern Louisiana played a state semifinal game against Brother Martin High School of the renowned New Orleans Catholic League. These were the days before overtime was used. The playoff game ended 0-0. The first tiebreaker, first downs, ended even at 9-9. The second tiebreaker, penetrations of the opponent's 20-yard line, also finished level, at 1-1. Beyond that, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association had no official way to resolve a game.
So four days later, on Dec. 5, the state semifinal was replayed in its entirety. This time, the rain sheeted and mud spackled the players' numbers, and their uniforms glistened as if slathered in pudding. Neville won, 8-0. Three days after that, it played its third game in eight days without surrendering a point, winning, 6-0, over Airline High of Bossier City to take the Class AAAA state title for Louisiana's largest schools at the time.
For the full story, click here.
Check it out. The writer, Jere Longman, hails from Eunice and is an LSU graduate. It's a great read for those who remember that game -- those games -- and even for those who don't.

Choosing The Perfect Venue For Your Upcoming Event
Choosing a venue is always an important decision when planning for an upcoming event, whether for an official or informal occasion. The venue sets the tone of the event and should always fit the theme of the occasion, not to mention the budget of the planner. This area of event planning always calls for a venue hire for convenience. In many cases, you will find several places available for hire, depending on the type of the event being organised.
There are certain critical factors that should be kept in mind before
hiring a venue
for an event. If you are a planner or want to host an event, here are 5 tips to guide you to the perfect venue for an upcoming event.
The importance of the location of the venue to be hired cannot be stressed enough. Location is important for a number of reasons. First, it determines how easy it will be for the attendees to get to the venue. If many people are attending by car, then parking is a crucial consideration, and if you are transporting attendees to the venue, then distance would be a factor of consideration. Look at the attendees and then choose a venue location that would seem appropriate to almost everyone.
Venue hire is often the most expensive part of even planning. Therefore, when planning for the event, allocate a large portion of the budget to it. In most cases, the cost of the
venue hire
is often the deciding factor, but it is important to maintain a balance for a successful event.
Avoid overspending on the venue as that would mean curtailing other expenses needlessly. At the same time, do not settle for the lowest priced venue, but first analyse your budget and see the amount you can allocate to the venue. Additionally, look out for additional costs that relate to the venue that you may overlook to ensure that these are discussed with the venue hire company or owner.
Number of attendants
Ensure that the venue is suited to the number of people you expect to attend the event. The selected venue for hire should be large enough so that the guests do not feel overcrowded, but no too big so that they feel overwhelmed or get lost. Importantly, if you are planning for some displays or performances in the event, there should be enough space for all these as well.
When looking for an ideal venue to hire, you should have a list of the facilities you require to successfully host an event. Look for catering facilities, car parking and stage or platform area, among other amenities. These facilities should not only be available, but also well maintained.
If you are looking for a
venue hire in Wellington
, then these factors should play a big role in your decision to hiring the ideal venue. These factors, together with the event demands and services provided, should guide you to a venue that is suited to your needs. Always visit the venue and check out the facilities in person. Look at the previous events that have been hosted there to have an even better understanding of the place.

(R family and M family on holiday together).
We are staying in a place by Clearlake, but it is not clear at all [and a bit stinky really] ! We are with our friends Ben and Tom, Simon and Sue. There is a pool where we swim, and a good tree for climbing.
We went out on a boat which was pretty cool. We set sail into the lake and then went for a swim (it was clear in the middle!). And then another swim. The kids all jumped off the boat. At the end everyone jumped off together and dad got a great photo.
The next day we went canoeing down the Russian River ( note from parents - a great wine area). We had 3 kayaks, and 1 capsized immediately ( dad and susa in charge!). We had a picnic on the riverside and jumped off lots of rocks and swam in the river. It was pretty hard to paddle as sometimes it was really shallow but we had a great time.
On the way back, Simon's got us rather lost and blamed his GPS but we made it home eventually.
By Oliver
( Note from parents- we did our best to try several different local wines and found we liked them all! The wineries are wonderful and would highly recommend a holiday in this area. Loved having family Morris with us this week. We even got a grown up night out which was very jolly!!)

To put a false spin on local job growth when there is, in fact, no such growth in any desirable sector. Smithisizing is necessary to raise morale and keep the few people with money from fleeing.
We need to smithisize these stats. Say we had 400 new jobs in the tourism sector. The public must never know it is really a handfull of raspa carts, some old Mexican women selling tamales door to door, and a fruit stand.

I'm looking for a job in Silicon Valley.
I have twenty-two years experience as a software engineer. I am particularly good at C, C++, Objective-C and various assembly codes.
I have extensive Macintosh experience, not just Carbon and Cocoa user interface but also Mac OS X IOKit device drivers, and a fair amount of embedded experience as well.
Most of my driver work has been for storage using a
variety of technologies: PCIe hardware RAID, FireWire/SBP-2,
USB and iSCSI.
I've been running Linux since 1994, and these days have a Core 2 Quad Xeon box that runs Fedora. I have done a little Linux driver work as well.
I'll accept both contract our perm positions, and am
available immediately.
Find me a job and I'll name my firstborn after you. :-D
Thanks for your help! -- Mike
I'm looking for a job as a Senior Software Engineer. I am no longer self-employed, but am looking for a perm job. I will take a contract to tide me over until I can
find one, but only on a W-2 basis.
I have twenty-one years experience, twelve of them spent
coding in C++.
Other strengths include Mac OS X (both UI and drivers, known in Mac-land as kernel extensions), Linux (userspace),
embedded systems (mostly FireWire and storage), and various
assembly codes.
I am one of the very best there is at low-level debugging.
You could really help me out if you forwarded the link to my cover letter or resume to anyone who might be interested. Perhaps you could get yourself a nice referral bonus.
Thanks! -- Mike

See you there!
I was in Sunnyvale, near the "Blue Cube" at the south end of Moffett Field when the quake struck. I was on the second floor of a large office building, talking to my wife on the phone, who is back in Nova Scotia.
Suddenly I started shouting, and she said "What, What?" and I said "Earthquake! I better get out of the building!"
Oddly, I was the only one who evacuated. But I remembered the October '89 Loma Prieta quake very well, as I lived in Santa Cruz at the time, and there were many aftershocks. I was concerned an even bigger shock might hit.
When I got outside, my cell phone wouldn't work, so I had to call my wife collect from a payphone to tell her I was OK.
I want to write a small web application for use on one of my websites. I'm happy to Read The Fine Manual, but I ask your advice on which parts are most pertinent to my problem. The reason I don't want to just figure it all out for myself is that there is a dauntingly large quantity of documentation available online, so I don't quite know where to begin.
If you don't want to respond here, you can either email me at (Harvest This, Spammers!) email@example.com or post in my Kuro5hin diary, where the topic has its own individual page.
While I have done some web application programming before, it's been a long time, and it was all done in Java with Enhydra. Enhydra's a great application server, but it's vastly more powerful than my simple needs require. Also my web hosting service actively supports PHP and MySQL, so I wont need to ask the hostmaster to install anything.
It's been so long since I've done any SQL that I've completely forgotten it, and I've never designed the schema (the layout of tables and fields) of an SQL database before.
There is also the issue of security, a topic which has evolved vastly since my last web programming job back in '99.
I did work through the simple PHP tutorial at php.net, and feel that it would probably work just fine for what I want to do.
I think my database would only require a single table with a dozen or so fields.
I'd like to have a web page with a form on it. One of the form fields would accept the user's email address. When the form is submitted, it would be added as a new record to the table, with each form field being placed into its own field in the record. There would be some additional fields as well.
There would be an integer field whose value would indicate whether the record was new, had been downloaded, or was old. Newly-added records would be set to new.
Periodically I would log into a password-protected web page and download a text file containing all the new records. The text file would be formatted as either tab-delimited, CSV (comma separated values) or maybe XML. There would need to be some way to prevent user-entered data from screwing up this file, for example if a user entered a comma in one of the form fields.
Once the download has succeeded, the included records would be marked as downloaded. I think it would be best if I were to manually order this, rather than having it done automatically when the download completes.
Again on a password-protected page, I would be presented with an HTML table of the downloaded records, and I could manually mark them as old. I would want a way to either mark them all at once, or individually. Gmail has something like this, where one can check individual emails, or check all the emails displayed on the page.
When this happens, the email address from each record would be used to send the user a confirmation email; this would require my PHP script to either talk SMTP directly, or maybe pipe some text into /usr/bin/mail.
Note that this would not be used for spamming my users; the page containing the form would inform them that the confirmation mail was going to be sent, and that would be the only mail I'd ever send in an automated way.
If you think there's a better way to do this than PHP and MySQL, I'm completely open to it, however, I'm very loyal to my hosting service (I've been with them for ten years), and I hate to bug the hostmaster to go out of his way for anything.
Thanks for any help you can give me -- email@example.com

The location was safe, about 1/2 hour with the metro to the center of the city. Not much to do around the place. Bois de Vincent is nice. The place is small, plain and not well maintained, it could take updating and repair.
The appartement was nice and cosy, everything you need for a short or longer stay in Paris. Five minutes walk to the nearest food-store. Metro about seven minutes, nice, safe and calm area. Recommended.
Very nice apartment, I can only recommend it! :) Me and my boyfriend had a great time staying here. The studio is located in a very nice area of Paris, with nice parks, shops and restaurants nearby. The Metro station is only 5-10 min away, and you can reach the city center in 15-20 min. The apartment is small, but clean and cozy; it is equipped with a microwave, hair dryer, iron, plasma TV and WiFi. Before our trip, Christophe sent us all the necessary information (including maps) about the apartment. We didn't meet him, he just gave us the codes for the locks and we could easily enter upon arrival.
Again, a very good choice if you don't mind the small space!
I enjoyed my time in this little studio. The only thing that really bothered me were the water faucets that kept acting a bit funny. Otherwise it's a perfect place for one or two persons staying in Paris. The noise from the street didn't register much and even if it's light in the apartment it's not overly so.
The kitchen is not for the big cooking but it's well equipped and good for smaller dishes.
All in all I enjoyed my stay in this little studio apartment.
nothing to complaint about except from the noise of the neighborhood, you'd better have earplugs
My boyfriend and me stayed for one week in Christophe's appartment in Paris. All in all, we were very satisfied. Nervertheless, we want to give you some useful when having booked Christophe's appartment.
One the one hand, you have to be prepared that it is very loud and bright in the bedroom during the night. There are many cars in the street and the windows are not well insulated. Besides, there is just a simple blind and a thin curtain not really darkening the room, So, if you cannot sleep when it is loud and bright, think of some earplugs and a sleeping mask. Moreover, one socket in the kitchen (just to the left of the sink) does not work and there is no socket in the bathroom.
One the other hand, after having booked the apparment, you receive a really useful information brochure. Though this brochure is very informative and detailed, there are three things missing:
1. Instead of the supermarket "ED Supermarché", there is now the discounter "DIA". There, you can buy cheaply everything you need. When missing something, you can also go to the "Monoprix" very close to the underground station, but the food is more expensive there.
2. In the brochure there is no information which exit you have to take when arriving at the station "Charenton-Ecoels". I remember that we always took the exit "Rue Gabrielle", but to be sure ask Christophe. By the way, the appartment is very close to the underground station and the underground line is well included in the underground system.
3. At first, we had some problems with opening the door of the appartment. After having entered the code, you first have to pull and then push the door while turning around the buttons.
As already mentioned, my boyfriend and me were very satisfied with the appartment. Everything was clean and well ranged. We were offered fresh towels and bedlinen so that you do not have to bring them yourselves. Besides, the kitchen is well equiped so that you can find there everything you need to prepare nice meals. Moreover you can benefit from the TV and the internet acces you can easily use with the information in the brochure. You can also find a telephone in the appartment, but we did not use it.
All in all, we can recommend you Christophe's appartment and are sure that you will really enjoy your trip!
I stayed at this cosy flat for five nights during Easter break 2013 (4th to 8th April) with my family. The room was somewhat huge with nice bed. There was a flat screen TV and mini fridge. The bathroom was clean and had full bath with a shower head too, Room is, absolutely clean, helpful and friendly stuff, pillows were new, which is welcome, and the mattress felt fine, so there are no complaints about the things that really matter. Free Wi-Fi access is available for all guests. I found it this flat is good those who are on a budget and after a good night sleep in a clean, warm environment. I noticed that the owner was very friendly to customers and helpful with any issues.

Our neighbour, Keith, who's in his 70s, has been gardening for years. He went from working for an agri-chemical company to establishing and running a successful organic citrus orchard, which gives you an idea of how forward-thinking and flexible he is.
Every now and then he comes out with a gem of wisdom which proves invaluable in the garden.
His latest offering is this: buy half a dozen pots of lavender and stick them in the fork of a branch about halfway up your fruit trees.
Hmmm. Bit of a weird design feature, I thought, but he wasn't out to make a style statement. The lavender will attract bees, which will then pollinate the fruit trees, he reckons.
Lord knows whether it works, but much of what he tells us does, and it'll be a cheap, interesting experiment at the very least.
The Landscaper dearly loves lavender, so having pots of it hanging around in the orchard will be no hardship. He may even take it a step further, he thought, and underplant the fruit trees with different varieties of lavender, which would, I admit, look quite a lot better than the neat but uninspiring circles of bare earth that facilitate easy mowing.
A step or three on from this is herbal ley, a living grass ground cover that helps to control and suppress weeds, retain moisture, prevent erosion and attract beneficial insects and bees. Herbal ley acts as a nutrient fixer and recycler, and there's no question it looks better than the bare earth circle. You can create your own ley for different purposes so, if you want to enhance the look and productivity of your fruit trees, find a mix designed for orchards.
Trees don't naturally grow in isolation or surrounded by lawn or bare earth so it's easy to see how herbal ley will enhance tree health.
Bear in mind, though, that in this context the word "herbal" doesn't mean thyme, rosemary and the like. It actually refers to "herbage" - leafy green ground cover and low-growing plant species.
The way to go about it is to skim off lawn around the tree and then sow "orchard herbal ley" seed.
Plant borage (blue edible flowers), red and white flowering clover, lemon balm, chicory and spring bulbs to attract bees and other insects to fruit trees for pollination and, therefore, more fruit.
Planting members of the Umbelliferous (Apiaceae) family, such as parsley, carrot, parsnip, coriander and dill will help to protect fruit trees from caterpillar and grub pests. Let them flower and set seed, and sow again for next year. Apples also like to be underplanted with yarrow, chamomile, borage, clover, chicory and cornflower.
For soil fertility and nutrients, plant clover and lupin for nitrogen fixing, and comfrey for potassium.
It's not too late to sow or plant a herbal ley if your soil is still moist. Buy a herbal ley mix or persuade friends with yarrow, clover, tansy, lemon balm, bulbs and chicory to divide some bits off their established plants for you and replant them around your trees.
And, if you like, sneak a bit of lavender in there, too.
Earthly delights
If you're around Auckland between now and November 18, you can visit New Zealand Sculpture Onshore - an exhibition of contemporary sculpture at a spectacular clifftop overlooking the Hauraki Gulf.
More than 120 outdoor works by established and emerging artists will be on show, alongside an indoor sculpture gallery, and a display of children's sculpture.
Tell me what's new
When British Garden Designer of the Year Andrew Fisher Tomlin turns up at next year's Ellerslie Flower Show, he'll be looking for The Big Idea.
He's a firm believer in new designers leading the way and hopes to see new designers' unexpected takes on what a garden should be. Fisher Tomlin, who judged at the first Christchurch show in 2009, says he's excited about returning to judge at "one of the best flower shows in the world".
He'll also be looking for the ingenuity he saw last time that proves you don't need big bucks to make a huge impression.

With a weakening economy, skyrocketing food prices, and an attrition rate of around 14%, Indian CIOs' biggest worry is increasing the salaries of their IT staff. Data from Forrester's Forrsights Budgets And Priorities Survey, Q4 2013, indicates that 71% of Indian CIOs will increase their spending on IT staff salaries and benefits in 2014 — tops in the Asia Pacific region (figure below).
In return for the increase in staff salaries, Indian CIOs will face two challenges:

Reviews for this host's other properties
The stay was very satisfactory. they have adapted very Bioen our early arrival time, and we were waiting on the porch.
the house is correct and well situated. No complaints about that.
Missing some things like toilet paper, coffee filters, they very kindly brought in 15 minutes.
Address to recommend.
On the negative side, I did not like that the last day will not get the OK to exit, and stay with the guarantee of 500 € for 48 hours, in case they find any fault !!
La estancia ha sido muy satisfactoria. se han adaptado muy bioen a nuestra hora de llegada temprana, y nos estaban esperando en el portal.
la casa está correcta y muy bien situada. Ninguna queja al respecto.
Faltaban algunas cosas, como papel higiénico, filtros de café, que muy amablemente nos los trajo en 15 minutos.
Dirección a recomendar.
Como aspecto negativo, no me gustó que el último día no te dan el OK a la salida, y se quedan con la fianza de 500€ durante 48h, por si encuentran alguna anomalía!!
We had a wonderful time in Paris and mostly because of our quite small but very comfortable and convenient apartment. It's situated in a strategic position: Although it's really close to any kind of shop and many good restaurants and bars, it's in the internal part of the building so it is very silent. Absolutely suggested.
The apartment was perfect, very central, comfortable, clean and super comfortable,
the wifi worked. A few steps a street filled with restaurants and supermarkets.
No problem for the keys.
L'appartamento era perfetto, centralissimo, comodo, pulito e super accessoriato,
il wifi funzionava. A pochi passi una via piena di negozi supermercati e ristoranti.
Nessun problema per le chiavi.
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

De facto gun control
How would a tyrannical leader of the United States impose strict new gun control on a resistant, well-armed citizenry without the approval of Congress and in spite of the constitutional prohibitions?
Ill tell you how.
He would have the government buy up all the arms and ammo leaving next-to nothing for local police departments and self-reliant citizens to fight over.
That is, quite possibly, part of the motivation for the Department of Homeland Securitys sudden, otherwise inexplicable buying binge for firearms Barack Obama would like to deny mere citizens and almost unimaginable quantities of ammunition that has left police departments so short of rounds they have been forced to stop target practice and rationed supplies of the most popular kinds of bullets.
If you doubt me, just go to your favorite local dealer of arms and ammunition and see whats available. Everywhere you look you will be limited to a few boxes of the ammo of your choice.
Yes, its true the public has been on a buying binge, too. That was precipitated by Obamas threats to ban broad new classifications of firearms and ammunition.
But now, on top of that, we learn that Homeland Security is buying billions of rounds of the very choicest ammunition.
What good are guns without ammo?
One of the things DHS could be doing is enacting de facto gun control.
Its a way for the government to achieve a monopoly on force something Americas founders feared and thought they put to rest when they approved the Bill of Rights, declaring self-defense to be one of the unalienable, God-endowed liberties of free men and women.
If Im right, keep your eye out for more of these bulk purchases by government. Ammunition manufacturers cant keep up with the demand much of it stimulated with your own taxpayer dollars.
Not only is Obama intent on taking more of your money, hes using it to deny you your right to self-defense and quelling any risk of armed resistance to his fast and furious gun grab.
Continued: De facto gun control
Black Blade: This is what I have always thought. The whole point of the DHS and other government agencies buying up billions of rounds is to tie ip ammunition manufacturing. There is no other conclusion possible with the exception of a complete takeover of The United States of America by force by the Obamunists. That is when you can slaugher every man, woman and child in this country several times over then it makes sense that this is about gun control or taking over the government from the people. Either way it's a very bad for all Americans.

Mayor's Notebook: Enjoy the holiday lights in Pequot Lakes
The holiday season is in full force in Pequot Lakes. Take time to drive through our community after dark, noticing that almost all the buildings and much of the park are beautifully lit for the season.
During the day, take time to look at the wreaths welcoming you to the businesses – many decorated with bobbers to remind you exactly where you are.
This is thanks to the cooperation between businesses, Business Connect and the Pequot Lakes Business and Community Group.
Another result of wonderful cooperation was the Santa's Bobbin' Into Town event on Saturday, Dec. 8. For those of you who were unable to be in attendance, you missed an amazing full day of events throughout town, culminating with the Light Up The Night Parade down Government Drive.
The Pequot Lakes Fire Department's truck that carried Santa and Mrs. Claus surely was a true highlight, thanks to the four hours our firefighters spent decorating it.
Plans for next year's event (Dec. 14, 2013) are being discussed and this advanced notice should give you plenty of time to make a float or to purchase glow-sticks so you can walk with others. Plan ahead!
Finally, one housekeeping note. At the Dec. 4, 2012, city council meeting, the 2013 city budget was passed. When you received your proposed tax bill in late November, the city's portion was based upon September's preliminary figure of a 6.7 percent levy increase.
Please be aware that in the final budget, the levy will be minus .34 percent.
In the meantime, enjoy the holidays, keep safe and definitely drive through town in the evening to enjoy the sights.

First Night Game at Gunn
Original post made by Gunn Fan, Juana Briones School, on Sep 2, 2006
The atmosphere was great as there were many alumni, parents, students and kids. The Old Pro provided food and Gunn even rented a jumpy for the kids.
While Gunn came up short 41-21 because of an incredible athlete from Lincoln, it was a great evening all around.

Why was the money spent on the football field lights (which seems to me non-essential), when the actual playing field is more than adequate for the team, while (for one example), the swimming and water polo teams are forced to practice in unsafe, reportedly unpleasant, and inadequate facilities?

The Gunn Swimming pool definitely needs to be improved. It does not meet the standards that are expected for aquatic programs.
The biggest issue with a pool is the cost of the project. From what I have heard the Gunn Administration and Sports Boosters fully support a new pool and are looking at different ways it can be accomplished.
The Sports Boosters supported the lights as a way of bringing the community together for events and from last night's turnout it looked like that was a success. There was an even an ad in the game program explaining why a new pool was needed for Gunn.

Trace your ire back to the school board, Mr/Ms Wondering. Though the board originally promised, under then-president Cathy Kroymann, not to let a pool be built at Paly until one was also built at Gunn, as soon as a big donor stepped forward for Paly they changed their minds. Result? Gunn has an orphaned, ineffective fundraising effort for its pool while Paly has a sparkling new one.
Vague promises of redress under a future school bond seem particularly ephemeral given the uproar about Mandarin Immersion and its likely deleterious effect on a bond measure if passed.
But while you're thinking about Gunn, ask the school board about the average comparative age of all the computers at Paly and Jordan (where the PTAs can afford to give hundreds of thousands for technology support) versus the south Palo Alto secondary schools (where the PTAs can't). (Don't ask about district funding of technology, though, as the district budget doesn't even have a line item for technology.) Ask them about institutions like Camp Anytown, fully funded by private donations at Paly and struggling at Gunn. Ask them about facilities equality overall, in fact.
Palo Alto needs more board members from south of Oregon Expressway to ensure that proper attention is paid to inequities. During the last election, no one from the south part of Palo Alto even ran. Let's hope more civic minded folks turn up from south Palo Alto during the next board election cycle.

I agree that we should have School Board representation from all over our city. Do we really need to tear down accomplishments, however, that hard working volunteers and/or donors make happen? When a funder steps up in this district we should all be appreciative. Completing one project allows more energies to be focussed on other projects. Paly has lights because a funder stepped forward. Gunn now has lights because volunteers spent countless hours fundraising and lobbying the district. Let's celebrate! Now it is time to put time and effort into finding funding for a Gunn pool. Who will step up to lead the charge?

Local business leaders discuss United States Postal Service closures
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A major development group in Mid-Missouri fights back against the plans to shut down Columbia's mail distribution center.
Local business leaders discussed the impact of the potential closing.
Last week, the United States Postal Service announced in a meeting that local mail could possibly be processed in St. Louis or Kansas City -- a move that Postal Service officials say would help save more than $4 million.
Closing the processing center in Columbia would have two major local impacts.
Forty-two jobs will be transferred to either Kansas City or St. Louis.
Second, mail will take at least two to three days to be delivered.
Regional Economic Development chair Vicki Russell says Columbia's distribution center was ranked the most efficient in 2012 while St. Louis was ranked at the bottom.
Leaders of the group say there are bigger concerns - downsizing can lead to closure.

Refreshing Retreat to Niagara Wine County
The Barton Hill Hotel & Spa • Lewiston, NY
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in the Portage Retreat, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($129)
- $25 Discount on Meals of $50 or More and $25 Discount on Spa Services of $50 or More
- Continental Breakfast for Two
- Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls Discount Card
Spring is the time for leaves to emerge, flowers to bloom, and love to blossom, so set your heart aflutter with this week's romantic Escape to Lewiston, New York.
Bring a bud for a one-night stay in the Portage Retreat Room at The Barton Hill Hotel & Spa, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($129). Your guest room features a queen bed fitted with Italian linens as well as a fireplace, flat-screen TV, and iPod dock. Each morning, you'll awake to included continental breakfast.
Barton Hill offers a natural refresher in the heart of the Niagara wine region. "Its complex mix of soils and climates—often likened to the Loire Valley—is ideal for chardonnay, riesling, pinot noir, and cabernet-franc varietals," says Lonely Planet. Oenophiles can branch out with tours and tastings along the Niagara Wine Trail, while golf lovers can choose among numerous local courses. Or, swoon over the majestic Niagara Falls.
The historic Village of Lewiston, with its garden of quaint shops and antique stores, offers a welcome change of pace for city dwellers. Also nearby, the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls attracts frugal fashionistas looking to overhaul their wardrobes. With an included discount card, you'll enjoy even more savings on stylish steals from designers like Michael Kors and Kate Spade.
After soaking up the spring sun, return for a restorative spa session. You'll receive a $25 discount when you spend $50 or more at this holistic haven. Turn back time on your tootsies with the sports pedi, which exfoliates and improves circulation. Or, reclaim your skin with the detoxifying Black Baltic Mud Wrap.
The hotel's Chantry Restaurant and Bar, where you'll receive a $25 discount when you spend at least $50, will redefine your idea of fine dining. The seasonal menu changes weekly, as does the wine list, so you'll always find new dishes to sweep you off your feet.
Now is the season to let love blossom or fall for each other all over again. Plant the seeds of a perennial romance with this week's Escape to the Niagara region.
"An elegant country gem in historic Lewiston, The Barton Hill Hotel is a shining example of rural splendor. From the outside it's a rambling old estate built like a French chateau, but on the inside it's the epitome of modern comfort."-- AOL Travel

If you want to secure your preferred dates of travel, we strongly recommend that you complete reservation with the merchant within 30 days of your purchase—after that, LivingSocial will not issue any refunds.
