Turkey has refused to allow Israel to participate in a NATO conference set to take place in Chicago on May 20, because the Israel has not apologized for the 2010 killing of Turkish activists in a raid on a ship taking aid to Palestinians, a Turkish official said on Monday.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu commented on the possible Israeli presence at the conference. "There will be no Israeli presence at the NATO meeting unless they issue a formal apology and pay compensation for the Turkish citizens their commandos killed in international waters," said Davutoglu last week at a NATO conference in Brussels, according to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News.
Turkish opposition is similar to a veto, and is binding for all NATO member nations. Many member nations, including France, the U.S., as well as Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Secratary General, demanded that Turkey reverse its position on Israeli participation in the conference, and even threatened to oppose the participation of Egypt, Morocoo, Mauritania, and Algiera, other non-member nations invited to take part in the NATO "Mediterranan Dialogue" group.
Turkey, however, abrogated any possibility of a reversing its stance on the issue. "The army of a country which you call a partner killed our citizens with a political order given by its administration. We do not call this kind of country a partner," said Davutoglu.
"I promise that Turkey will be the first to defend citizens of NATO countries in any similar situation. I believe in the principle of solidarity among NATO member nations much more than the principle of discrimination, practiced by some of you," Davutoglu fired back at his critics.

The building, located at 95 Columbia Street in Central Square — and known by friends as "The Danger Zone" and "The Columbia House" — was home to a fluctuating group of local artists and musicians. Its displaced residents include Burns, who performs his own music and with the Kristen Ford Band and SchoolTree, plus solo artist Mary Bichner (formerly of Box Five), film producer Peter Moulthrop, Jaggery's upright bassist Tony Leva, banjo player Thomas Huber, and seven others.
No residents were injured and the cause of the fire is unknown as of yet, though Burns says they are expecting to know by Friday. The fire destroyed the majority of their possessions, including instruments.
"The local community has been incredible and supportive," says Burns, who'd been living in the house for five years. "There's a lot of resources, from the Red Cross and fire department, that have been outstanding and incredibly supportive."
Two fundraisers are in the works to help out the displaced residents: the first, "Help! Our Bands Are on Fire!," is set for September 9, with 25 bands playing at various venues around Union Square, including Precinct, Sally O'Brien's, and PA's Lounge.
The second is set for September 14 at Flat Top Johnny's. The event, "Dark Angels," is inspired by the Boston goth scene, and will include DJs, performances, and prizes from local artists.
"A lot of these artists that are helping out. . . it's striking," Burns adds. "Because artists don't have a lot of money. [So] it's really incredible to see people helping out. We are an incredible community."

The All Whites could be without their talisman captain Ryan Nelsen for the upcoming friendlies against El Salvador and Honduras in the United States later this month.
Despite Nelsen being named in the latest All Whites squad, coach Ricki Herbert hinted his long-serving central defender and captain would be given extra time to recover from a testing English Premier League season.
"Ryan is extremely committed to both the All Whites and the Olympics but there's a massive doubt whether we'll use him [in the US or the Nations Cup]," said Herbert. "He needs some time to repair himself and we may elect not to take him at all for the All Whites matches at this stage."
Herbert has taken the opportunity to look at some fresh players when naming his squad for the first real steps of the 2014 World Cup campaign.
Selecting the squad for the US warm-up matches - he didn't call them "friendlies" - and for the Oceania Nations Cup which follows, Herbert has given debutantes Tim Payne and Cameron Howieson the chance to further press their claims for the Olympic tournament in London.
Ten of the players, including Howieson and Payne, have played 10 or fewer games for the All Whites, Rory Fallon and Michael McGlinchey just 11. At the other end of the scale, Ivan Vicelich (74), Ryan Nelsen (46) and Leo Bertos and Chris Killen with 40, provide the experience.
"It's a really exciting time," said Herbert. "It's a great opportunity for players like Cameron and Tim. They're both in a professional environment in England and really excited to have their chance."
With Tony Lochhead excused from the two US games in the US - for his wedding - the fullback stocks again appear thin leading Herbert to say they may well, for those two games at least, revert to the three-man defence used successfully in the past.
"We have so many players now in a professional environment we're in a very healthy position. There's also a strong synergy between the All Whites and the Olympic squad which strengthens our position."
Of the player likely to fill the midfield role left vacant by Tim Brown's shock retirement, Herbert said Michael McGlinchey had a great chance to make it his own, or possibly Vicelich who could take a holding role.
Herbert is confident recent Phoenix signing Glen Moss should be ready but is not discounting giving US-based Jake Gleeson goalkeeping time there.

to complete, manage and store their work. Different teams manage code and changes in multiple, separate instances of repositories. Through release planning and tracking changes constantly, and the relevant data is housed in several different places.
In an Agile environment you need to have sound engineering practices and tooling because almost immediately, Agile exposes those areas that need greater attention. And how you deploy and structure your data will determine the accuracy and scale of your project. Because the process of shifting to Agile must have minimal negative impact on the organization's ability to maintain its aggressive release schedules, trying to standardize and consolidate tools and repositories all at once in order to transition to Agile usually is not an option. It would be too disruptive. Yet, to succeed at a transformation and become a more effective organization, it is necessary to establish certain standards and identify ways to improve in some of the core areas of ALM.
The first step is to define standards for data descriptions – uniform definitions for different activities and assets across the organization. Use a single definition for goal stories, requirements, user stories, etc. This helps to make it easier for teams to understand each other's work, and allow them to manage dependencies across teams. Next, use a standard management console for all of delivery projects. Stories, tasks, assets can be viewed and manipulated in it and all of the changes are reflected across the various tools. Hence, integration with existing systems becomes a much more important factor than replacement and consolidation of tools.
Planning in an Agile World
One fear that is common to organizations considering Agile is the perceived lack of planning in the approach. While the pace and fluidity of Agile may give the impression that the teams are driving forward with little regard for a long-term road map, the "flatness" of Agile teams – and the increased interaction between developers and business stakeholders/customers – actually makes it possible for teams to be more aware of business objectives and priorities than they might be in a traditional model.
To drive alignment between its Agile teams, marketing and product management organizations, and ensure that the work that is happening – sprint by sprint – enterprises need to link strategic goals directly to the ALM artifacts that are associated with them: requirements, user stories, tasks, and test cases. How does this work?
Marketing creates the overarching goal of a product release, defining and storing the high-level requirements in a requirements management system. Product management then breaks the requirements down into goal stories, and prioritizes these, along with any change requests, in a backlog. Teams then decompose the goal stories down into actionable pieces (user stories). The user stories are linked back to the goal stories and requirements. In planning their sprints, the teams estimate the size of the user stories and determine the content of a sprint based the team's velocity (capacity) and the user stories priority (business value).
Then, as the teams complete user stories, the progress is being tracked and linked back to the high-level goal stories and requirements in requirements management system. At any time in the release, marketing or product management team has visibility into how the release is progressing in terms of which goal stories are completed, how much work is still outstanding, and how that work compares to remaining team velocity (capacity) for the release.
Agile managers must be able to quickly make informed decisions to keep planning on track. By gathering real-time status information from multiple sources – change requests, requirements, and test runs — management

I had the pleasure of meeting two young moms with their bright-eyed babies in the library recently. They were looking for the Pre-Reading Class for Babies in the youth area, this was their first visit with their little tykes. Seeing these young smiling moms and happy baby expressions on the sweet faces took me back in memory and made me smile. Obviously they all slept through the night and babies just had their naps-this was a good day! I remember as a young mom the conflict within…do I go to all the work to take Baby out to interact with other life forms, or wouldn't it be easier to just stay in? I craved grown-up talk and the world beyond the house, going visiting often depended on who slept through the night and if Baby had napped. Usually its worth the effort for the child to socialize, explore the greater world and mom/dad to have some adult conversation. I personally know a twenty-something gal whose closest friends are still those she met as a toddler in a social play group. Pre-Reading Class for Babies and Toddlers exposes them to pre-emergent literacy skills, the early experiences preparing them for language learning and reading. You will enjoy rhymes, songs, and storybooks as you cuddle your baby. Toddlers can sing and play more physically with their stories and then do a craft. Here are two new books which brings these play and learn activities home: Child's Play, Montessori Games and Activities for Your Baby and Toddler by Maja Pitamic. These are activities which explore the senses, use coordination and physical movement. See also 365 Games Smart Toddlers Play by Sheila Ellison which brings enriching activities into the daily routines of home life. Moms and Dads, give yourself a break from chores and take your little one out to play and learn!

When we scale things up to handle ever-larger quantities of data, we also scale up the number of issues related to the increasing pace. We're dealing with this with fewer tools and, quite frankly, less knowledge We've seen changes in security (visit our latest podcasts on security and scale). We have seen changes in operations. We have also seen changes in development. Scale changes everything. But how so?

The Campaign to Bring Back the VMTN Subscription
I am not sure how other people have learned their craft and mastered the technology they support, but for me, the learning started after the books ended. I have learned so much more from breaking something and having to find the fix than I ever did from reading a book. Back in the day around 2005, VMware released The VMTN Subscription. This was an amazing program that was something like the Microsoft MSDN subscription. These programs gave you the ability to run any of the core software packages for a year at a time for a subscription fee. This gives us, the administrators, the ability to "learn by breaking" for a time frame longer than the sixty day trial period. The good times came to an end in 2007 when VMware announced that they were canceling the VMTN subscription moving forward. If you have any current thoughts or dreams of pursuing your VCP, VCAP and or VCDX, then sixty days is not near enough time to achieve your goals. Following the lead of Mike Laverick's call to action, to "Bring back the VMTN Subscription Please" I wanted to stress my point of view that this program was one of the best ways for VMware to expand their technology and work with the people, in the trenches, that are supporting and expanding the virtualization footprint at their respective companies.
Why would a Developer choose VMware?
It is interesting to see Edward's comment that according to EMC/VMware, widespread production deployment of Cloud Apps is 3-5 years off. If that is the case the VMware CloudFoundry initiative should be focused on cutting-edge development rather than porting existing apps, and in much the same way that Microsoft has always courted developers, CloudFoundry should be the latest cool thing for developer productivity. It's interesting to talk about this stuff in the abstract, and at the strategic level, but sometimes it's worth understanding what happens when you need to make the decisions for yourself.
So, although I'm more of an Architect than a Developer I'm knocking up a prototype application – this isn't a thought experiment I really am building a real prototype with a view to showing to a real enterprise customer (in fact several), but it's not being built for one specific customer so there aren't any pre-defined corporate standards on the technology that I have to build it on.

SFDS Summer Classic Settles Championships
While the Graybeard division champions have put their long sleeve tees through the wash a few times already, Championship week began in earnest last Thursday at the St. Francis Summer Classic. The Girls Grammar Senior championship was moved up to Thursday evening as many players for Walsh Properties were not available for the originally scheduled slot on Monday August 13. It didn't matter. Rockaway W.I.S.H. ran out to a 16-5 first quarter lead and continued to increase it until Walsh Properties made a fourth quarter run to keep it respectable as W.I.S.H. seized the title with a 45-33 victory. Keeley McEachern led with 12 points and the rest of the championship squad included Ryan Ward, Rory Kirk, Meaghan LaSorsa, Danielle Willoughby, Keira Walsh, Kelly Ward, Lizzie Mulvaney, Grace DeCrescenzo, and Sabrina Vitale and were coached by Loretta Courtney and Kelli Donohue.
The Boys Grammar Middle semifinals were Wednesday August 8 and Rockaway Little League beat The Wave 47-41, while T. Moriarty & Son knocked out NY Surf School 37-32. In the championship on Tuesday, the two teams battled closely throughout and it appeared that some foolish fouls at the end of periods was going to haunt Rockaway Little League. However, in the fourth quarter they got some separation going up by 7 points. Moriarty would not give up and clawed back but not all the way as Rockaway Little League prevailed 56-53. Jag Guidarelli scored 16 and Robbie Rose and Timmy Moran 11 each for T. Moriarty. Ian Thurlow led Marty Andresen's Little League with 14 and Chris Izien and Gerard Roche had 10 apiece. They were joined by Liam Howley, Dylan Abernethy, Chris Florio, Chris DeMarco, John Mullen, Connor Anderson, and Michael Reardon.
Boarders Surf Shop won their Boys Grammar Senior semifinal in convincing fashion, 54-44 over Denis S. O'Connor, while Cyberzone won an exciting contest with Zella Lane Racers 54-50. In Monday night's championship, poor shooting early in the game but Boarders in a hole that they spent the entire game trying to get out of. They nearly did as they pulled within 7 in the 4th quarter but then missed good opportunities to cut further into the lead. John Boyle scored 18 for Boarders and Carson Benya and Brian Ostrander each added 10. Finn Kinsella had 10 but it was younger brother Rory who stepped out of the shadows with 28 to lead Cyberzone to the 61-48 victory. Andrew Sullivan added 12. Jack Bender's championship roster was rounded out by Christian Lanzetta, Matt Coletta, James Carlton, Joseph Langan, Marc Torres, Ryan Gray, and Bobby Berman.
In the Boys high school division, the top two seeds fell in the semifinals as Ameritag beat the Orangemen 56-51 and J & E Industries knocked off Total Office Planning 60-57. In Tuesday night'schampionship,Ameritagestablisheda7point lead at halftime and built it to 13 after three. J & E would not give up and brought it down to two with under a minute to play. Ameritag went the length of the court for a three point play after a jump ball and held on for a 54-48 win. Lucas Savage had 22 and Andrew Pettric 13 for J & E. Ameritag coach Richie George returned to the winner's circle and was led by Justin Manon with 23, Michael Buckley with 13 and Bryan Carley with 10. Ryan Kilgallen, Chris Ellis, Danny Donohue, Thomas Clark, Ray Henry, and Douglas Maffia all contributed to the victory.
In the Men's Open quarterfinals, Slices and Ices outscored Mason Jar 78-71, Caiazzo Heating & Plumbing squeezed by Quigley Insurance 47-43, Richard Kenny Law beat St. Camillus Spring League 63-47, and Rock Park All-Stars held off Bungalow Bar 52-45. In the semifinals, Slices & Ices beat Caiazzo Plumbing 58-54 and Rock Park All-Stars defeated Richard Kenny Law 68-58. The championship was on Friday night and Slices & Ices completed their dark horse run with a 48-45 win over Rock Park. Captain Johnny Divilly was supported by Glenn Forde, Steven Marfe, Justice Favor, Paul West, Shawn Flowers, and Nicholas Conroy.
The Men's Open added a 'Court 4' division to prepare teams for future entry. Epstein's Bar, West End Party Rentals and the Monstars played a schedule mixed between games against each other and games against teams from the 'A' division. All three teams proved their competitiveness and in the championship on Wednesday August 22, the Monstars found the truth to the axiom that it is difficult to beat an opponent three times in a season, as West End Party Rentals handed them their first loss, 61-53, to take the title.
The Monstars had two opportunities to tie the game with less than a minute to go but when both missed, they were forced to foul and West End closed it out on the line. John Evans had 18 and Tom Tsatsis 17 for the Monstars. West End Party Rentals got a balanced effort with four players in double figures and captain Ryan Woerner's teammates were Matt Crockett, Charlie Marquardt, Stephen Oliver, Adam Elfassi, Brendan Kaylor, Kriston Ryan, Anthony Reyes, and Tommy McNoble.
The girls high school division was the last to start but after a compact, intense schedule, finished with their championship on Friday night. In the semi-finals, Animal Hospital of the Rockaways beat Walter Blum's Giants and Seawolves beat Harbor Optics.
The Seawolves had given Animal Hospital some tough competition during the season but in the championship, the girls in red showed their true colors and prevailed 70-50. The members of the championship team are Ashley Raaf, Taylor Butigian, Jackie Gillen, Erin Klein, Kerry Mackey, Shannon Barrett, Victoria Murgida, and Valeria Rojas.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and we'll see you next year for the 29th St. Francis Summer Classic.

Items Needed
Brown bags with handles ( 10" L X 8 " W)
Any color scrapbook paper to make a maple leaf or other flower to keep with your theme or colors.
Gartner's Studios Favor Tags (Ivory Opal Scalloped – Template Available online)
Wraphia Ribbon(Any Coordinating Color Will Do) 24 inches per bag
Scrap Book Adhesive Tape(Permanent)
A Logo Card or Label with Your Tag Line
Since we are having a destination wedding in Vermont, in addition to favors, I really wanted my guests to be welcomed by something special. I didn't want just a plain bag. I wanted it to reflect fall in Vermont. I am not a crafty person, but I designed and produced the bags quite easily.
The bags can be purchased at Michael's $5.99 for a baker's dozen of 13. You can choose the color that best suits your décor. Since we are having a fall wedding, we chose the standard brown bag.
I then found a photo of a maple leaf online. I made a maple leaf template out of cardboard. You could easily adapt this to any design to match your décor
I chose scrapbook paper that would coordinate with my bags. I traced the maple leaf template onto the scrapbook paper. An average sized piece of scrap book paper yields about 5 maple leafs that measure 4inches at from bottom of the stem to the top point of the leaf, and is 4.5 inches in width.
Using scrapbook adhesive tape, I secured our logo cards (which are actually business cards from Vistaprint.com)at the bottom half of the bag. I glued the maple leaf in between the handles of the bag, using scrapbook adhesive tape (permanent).
When I get my RSVP list together, I will print out each guests name on the Gartner's ivory oval scalloped favor tags, and glued them on the center of the maple leaf. I will use brown ink. As you can see in the picture, I haven't printed a name yet.
I punched a hole on each side of the leaf. I used a plain hole punch, but the craft stores make many different kinds of mini hole punches. They can be found in the scrapbooking section.
I put 24 inches of Wraphia ribbon through the holes and tied a ribbon. I used adhesive to lock down the knot and two tails of the bow.
It's ready to be filled with goodies!

News: Tagged as FF Nuvo
The a|ɑ-Team
Every now and then we are asked for typefaces containing alternative characters – the first letter of the alphabet is especially interesting in this respect as the Latin script knows two forms of the lower case a: the double-storey a is one of the most distinctive letters in a typeface while the single-storey a is rather neutral and decent. So you can considerably change the character of a typeface by simply swapping just one letter.
Thanks to OpenType both forms can be contained in one font and the user can easily switch between the two forms (in applications that support OT layout features, like Adobe's Creative Suite for instance). Many of the innovative FontFonts offer this opportunity:
- FF Advert
- FF Basic Gothic
- FF Chambers Sans
- FF Dagny
- FF DIN Round

Apparently, MSNBC managed to cater to the race-baiting demographic in its coverage of the horror of the mass murder of children:
Who are these people?Leave it to the shamelessly craven NBC News cable outlet MSNBC to find a race-baiting angle on the Connecticut school massacre tragedy. On the Sunday morning edition of "Up" with Chris Hayes Salon.com columnist David Sirota claimed that the debate about how to respond to the mass shooting would be "much uglier" if the murderer had not been a white male."The issue with it will be, politically, I think; the profile is white men," Sirota said as a grinning Ezra Klein nodded. "That's a profile that's not, essentially, in America allowed to be profiled. That's the one profile in America that's not allowed to be profiled." Hayes agreed.
How are they permitted to walk around without custodians?
Perhaps they were too young to remember how everyone was shocked to find out that the "DC Sniper" wasn't an alienated white guy like all the profilers had predicted?
If so, let's take a trip in the "way back machine."
Here is one psychological profile of the then-uncaught DC Sniper that wasn't afraid of predicting that this serial killer would be white:
The Washington DC-area sniper, who is most likely a white male in his thirties, may have recently been fired from or resigned from his job under contentious circumstances. It is conceivable that, like many sadistic personalities, the sniper had found a niche for himself in a job that naturally allowed him to make life difficult for others; that is, an occupation in which vengeful hostility, aggressive intent, and belligerent behaviors can be channeled into socially sanctioned spheres. Indeed, aggression may be so integral to his character that his hobbies, pastimes, and recreational activities convey a common theme of violence. Thus, in addition to a variety of firearms or other weapons, he may have a collection of books and videos about weapons and war. If employed in a supervisory capacity, he likely was inclined to make a public spectacle of intimidating, humiliating, and demeaning his subordinates, leaving no doubt as to whom was in charge. In this regard, he may have enjoyed a modicum of occupational success, though ultimately his threatening and belligerent manner or abuse of power was bound to backfire, resulting in his eventual dismissal or fall from grace. Domineering and controlling behaviors that previously enjoyed the imprimatur of social sanction consequently degenerated into vengeful acts directed against arbitrary victims (Millon, 1996, pp. 499–500; Millon & Davis, 2000, pp. 512–514).In fact, the "white male in his thirties" profile was so ingrained that it caused the DC police to ignore the real shooter, who was a black Muslim:
From President Bush on down, it seems everyone is opposed to racial profiling -- that is, unless white men comprise the group of likely suspects. For the three weeks that two snipers terrorized the Maryland and Virginia suburbs around the nation's capital, we heard endless speculation by government officials, experts and media commentators that the killings were likely the handiwork of an angry white man -- or men. It's the same rhetoric we heard repeatedly in the as-yet-unsolved anthrax attacks that killed five people a year ago. By assuming they "knew" the race of these killers -- with absolutely no evidence to back up their suspicions -- law enforcement officials may have impeded their own investigations. That certainly appears to be the case with the sniper killings. Washington, D.C., police chief Charles Ramsey acknowledged that police paid little attention to alleged snipers John Muhammad and John Lee Malvo, who on 10 separate occasions over the course of the killing spree crossed paths with authorities, according to the Washington Post. "We were looking for two white guys in a white van," Ramsey said in defense of various police jurisdictions' failure to connect the pair to the attacks. As it turned out, Muhammad and Malvo were two black men driving a blue Chevy Caprice. Imagine the outrage if the murders had been committed by two white men, but police had 10 times passed up the opportunity to apprehend them because a phony racial profile -- and nothing more -- told them to be on the lookout for a black man? There would have been cries of racism, justifiably so. I have consistently opposed racial profiling, not only because I think it's morally wrong, but because it leads to sloppy police work. In the absence of information from witnesses about the race of a perpetrator, it's not enough to know that similar crimes have been committed more often by members of one racial or ethnic group. But if police reliance on racial profiling helped lead them astray in tracking down the D.C.-area snipers, their reluctance to probe other important characteristics about the alleged snipers is equally troubling. Muhammad's race is clearly irrelevant to his alleged crime -- but his political and religious views may be very important in understanding his motives. Yet both government officials and most of the media are assiduously avoiding any discussion of Muhammad's conversion to Islam -- or, more accurately, the radical Black Muslim sect -- and his reported sympathy for al Qaeda, which are legitimate avenues of inquiry. If the snipers had turned out to be two white guys who were members of some extremist Christian sect and had voiced sympathy for Timothy McVeigh, you can bet we'd be watching endless investigative reports on the evening news about right-wing Christian and militia groups.That's just the historical facts.
So, where do these MSNBC morons get off creating an "insta-conventional wisdom" that's so wrong?
Why are they so misinformed?

Date of Stay: June, 2012
We used this campground as a stop for the night as we were driving across the country. It has the best pricing we have ever run into for what you get. Our rate was $17 for the night and we received full hookups and cable. We also had WIFI. Can't beat it! We will make this a routine stop on our migration every fall and spring. The staff was friendly, cheerful and very helpful. Sites were perfect for pulling in late, relax with a little TV, get to bed and up and out before sunrise.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Old Barn Resort as a campground is a lot of fun. The sites are tighter than we have seen at other campgrounds with your neighbors picnic table less than 5 feet from our motorhome. We had a devil of a time leveling the motorhome on the grass site, which we did not have that issue at other grass site campgrounds we have been to. A lot of big dips and mounds in the site. The only real complaint is the gravel roads have washed out at the top of the hills leaving ravines and have basketball sized pot holes in spots which does keep the speed down. There were no bugs at all which is a huge plus especially at night. We did not use or go into the bathrooms but were next to them, and there was a constant stream of people in and out all day long. It would be hard to keep them fully stocked and spotless without a full time attendant. We ate at the bar/restaurant, and the food was good, and service was good considering how busy they were and only two servers. This weekend was the most fun we have had all summer! The access to the bike path is wonderful to bike for a short time or make a day of it! The path has spots to stop and rest, enjoy the view of the river, or have a picnic. The people we ran into were all very friendly and seemed to be having a great time. The tubing on the river appears to be a huge hit, and although we did not do that, plenty of others were! The golf course was very fun to play, with a nice mixture of long and short holes. Beautiful scenery. We will definitely come back.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We stayed here with our camping club. The area we were assigned to has lots of mature shade trees. The grass sites are easy to level and free of mounds and dips. The river was a short walk to and appears to be a fun place to go wading. We did not stay long there due to the bugs and being evening that is to be expected. At the campsite itself the bugs were not a big issue. The owners are around all the time riding by and help if there is anything you need. They had a BBQ on Friday which was a nice treat to not have to cook. The fee was very reasonable. We will be back.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This is one of the few campgrounds in the area. The DN in DN Campground literally stands for Do Nothing Campground. There is a bar on site although we did not use it. It is mostly permanent sites here with campground rentals by the Apple River set down and away from most permanents. Great view of the river. The sites are shaded and level with electric and water. There is a dump station on site. There are a lot of permanents here and they really seem to have a great time with lots of activities for them. At least there was on 4th of July weekend when we were there. It is a wonderful relaxing campground it sit relax and DO NOTHING. We have AT&T and the signal is very weak, you have to walk up by the main building to make or receive calls, texting does get though from the site. There are many sites for tents, pop ups and ample room for 5th wheels, Class A and C motor homes. We were able to get air TV on several channels while here too. We will be back.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We have actually stayed here several times. Most sites are level but there are a few that are difficult to level on especially those on the hill to the north and west of the office. The park is minutes from many tourist spots such as MOA and MN Zoo, and in the middle of a large suburb but you do not feel like you are in city. The park is large with acres of wooded land around it. You can even hear coyotes sometimes in the early mornings. There is a wonderful playground for the kids and hiking and biking trails too. If you want to relax by the campfire park has campfire rings at each site and well maintained. This place is almost always busy and full during the summer. Great place to go to get away with out really having to drive far to do it!
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We have stayed here twice this year, both times it has been a pleasant weekend. Sites are level, and some have shade. Shuttle comes by every few minutes should you wish to go to the casino. Morning walks are nice and large variety of RV's to look at. Campfire rings and picnic tables are well maintained at each site. Wi-Fi works well. We will be back.
Date of Stay: January, 2011
The park was quiet, too quiet. Ghost town quiet. Most lots are empty, they have a pool, we did not use. The Wi-Fi is terrible, and no other amenities. Lots are spacious and has large trees with concrete pads which is nice. Could be a great park if they would update. A train horn can be heard at night, but that obviously can not be helped. The Park manager is friendly, but can't do much, due to upper management. The Resident park handy man was extremely friendly and very helpful. The Park is quiet, just has a ghost town feel to it: kind of unsettling.

Each year, like most business schools, we update our application essay prompts in an effort to better glean important information from our candidates. The essay is a great opportunity to do a few things: one, it shows your writing skills; two, it gives us a glimpse into your personality; but maybe most importantly, it helps answer a few very important questions that we need answered to best determine if you are right for McCombs. Instead of giving you a vague open-ended prompt, there are actually a few burning topics we need you to be sure to cover, namely having to do with why you want to attend McCombs, who you are both professionally and personally, and what goals you want to achieve while in our program and beyond. You have some work to do to convince us that we are the right program for you, and I'm here to offer some advice to help you get started on this process.
Below, you will find our new essay prompts with just a bit of guidance to help you get started. The first essay is virtually the same as last year. I will still offer some best practice guidance to help you put your best pen forward. The second essay consolidates what used to be multiple essays into one taut question. Take a moment to review my suggestions, and in the end, if you still have more questions, please email us at email@example.com.
Imagine that you are at the Texas MBA Orientation for the Class of 2017. Please introduce yourself to your new classmates, and include information you feel relevant to both your personal and professional life. Select only one communication method that you would like to use for your response.
- Write an essay (250 words)
- Share a video introduction (one minute)
- Share your about.me profile
AO Advice:
Be creative! And please read the prompt. The operative word in the first sentence is "imagine"! We have had so many candidates simply write a paragraph about themselves, no imagination employed in the process. If you do that, we can only assume that you either did not read the prompt, or are simply recycling an intro essay you used for another school. We ask that you imagine you are introducing yourself to your new, fellow students, at your New Student Orientation. You would not introduce yourself by starting out, "Plato once said…," and therefore any essays that start as such have missed the mark.
Also, what makes you interesting and unique are both your personal and professional interests and attributes. Therefore, an intro that only discusses work experience, or only discusses previous life experience, is incomplete. Give us a rounded mix, so that we better understand who you are in a more complete sense, and not only in one facet of your life.
Finally, the choice is yours: written essay, about.me page, or video. We have seen significant success in each platform. Therefore, choose your strongest suit, just make sure you use the medium well. If your skill is in writing, focus simply on the essay. If you have a knack for creative flare, color, design and photos, then have fun with the about.me. And if you want to create a video, and rely on your voice and/or any video editing skills you might have, then we're excited to meet you that way as well. Either way have fun, and do not take this essay for granted—it can go a long way to setting the stage for your application.
In the Texas MBA program, we promote a diverse and collaborative community by providing opportunities for growth in an academically rigorous environment. Please discuss why McCombs is the right program for you, what you hope to gain from your time in the Texas MBA Program both personally and professionally, and how you will contribute to your classmates' experiences. (500 words)
AO Advice:
Here we are getting to the nitty-gritty. This is your chance to really convey to us your passion, excitement, personality, and experience, while also conveying how that experience relates to your MBA and career goals. By the time we read your essays, we have already seen your resume and scores. Here we need you to expand upon the bare facts, and convey to us why you are the perfect student for our program.
I have gone in depth in a previous blog post on how to convey your personality in an essay, so I will not go deep on that topic in this post. Instead, I am going to focus more on approach and framework, and less on content.
First, this essay is complex, and yet we expect it to be concise and to-the-point; how do you do this in one 500 word essay? Once again, I recommend you start first by reading the prompt carefully. We are not asking you to be flowery and to tiptoe around the cores subjects. We are looking for a few things, and it is in your best interest to let us know specifically what we are looking for. I'll map it out for you by taking apart our prompt:
- …why McCombs is the right program for you…: Focus here on the words McCombs and you. A word to the wise: never, ever submit this essay if you have not given us specifics! Make sure at some point in the essay you discuss why McCombs, specifically, is the right program for you. Classes, concentrations, organizations, professors, unique opportunities, there is so much going on at McCombs. If you can't outline in easy terms why you are interested in our program in particular, then you will not be competitive. So before you write your essay, I recommend you map out in specifics why McCombs is right for you. Then, when you write out your essay, make sure these specifics are mentioned at some point, so that we see your passion and dedication to our program, and do not assume you just reused the same generic essay you used for another MBA program.
- …what you hope to gain…personally and professionally…: Once again specifics! The primary difference between this portion of the prompt and the previous is here we are asking you to connect, in clear terms, how McCombs will help you achieve your career objective. Therefore, my recommendation is that you create a 5 and 10 year career plan, and then see what classes, organizations, and opportunities that we offer that specifically speak to this career plan. Then connect the dots. Once you write your essay, you should be able to easily speak to these connections. We should not be left wondering why you, with your specific career goals, would want to come to McCombs. This is your opportunity to convey in no complex language why we are right for your career growth.
- …how you will contribute to your classmates' experiences…: Lastly, as you are mapping out your reasons for attending our program based on specific course and organization offerings, also remember that we pride ourselves first and foremost on our collaborative and diverse community. We work very hard to find individuals excited about being a part of this community in particular, so in what ways will you contribute? What student organizations will you support and why? Will you start a new student organization? Will you contribute in a special way to your study groups? Are you excited to be an active alumnus? Convince us that you are indispensable to our community, and you will have done yourself a great service in developing a strong application.
Those are my suggestions for mapping out your answers before you begin to weave it all together in a cohesive 500 word essay. Now you have the challenge of putting it all together, and here is where you get to be creative. I do not have any specific advice for you here, as I am looking forward to reading your unique responses and to see your own voice come forth in the essays. However, if you employ standard, strong writing techniques, you should be fine. One way or another, avoid convoluted sentences, going off topic, name dropping, vague or confusing goals, citing inaccurate classes, professors, or student organizations, or calling us by any other name besides McCombs or the Texas MBA (a common mistake for people who reuse essays). Also, DON'T REUSE ESSAYS! We can tell.
That's it for my advice to you! As always, please email us at email@example.com if you have any other questions. Get started early and edit, edit, edit! Your essays can really send a strong application into orbit, so good luck, and happy applying!


text: The Exiled was first work-shopped in Tucson, Arizona in 1998, where it caused a two-hour fight between the cast and members of the audience over whether the play had any meaning. It then went on to be optioned as a screenplay for a diverse number of production houses before its author pulled the plug on the whole deal because the executive producer was a crazy X-treme sports star junkie, Christian Bale started sending people hate mail claiming it was one of the most pretentious scripts hed ever read over his morning coffee, and the script doctor from Sophies Choice told Stuart he would need to change the ending to make the story less misogynist. The climate just didnt seem ripe for what he had only intended as a sweet little date comedy with a kick in the stomach. Apparently, people preferred American Pie.

The Rules of Sloshball
7pages onAdd New Page
this wiki
this wiki
Standard baseball/softball rules apply with a few key changes as noted below:
- You are not playing baseball. You are not playing softball. You are playing SLOSHBALL. Beer drinking is as much as part of the game as making outs and scoring runs. If you try to avoid drinking beer to enhance your play in the field ....Don't! It is not only against regulations, but I can promise you will be reprimanded by your peers.
- Play as many innings as you want. Be sure to account for the amount of beer you have.
- Teams do a boat race to determine home and away teams. The team that wins the boat race, chooses home or away (in the field first or batting first).
- Pitch to your own team. There are no walks.
- Strikeouts occur when a player does not hit a ball in fair play by the 3rd pitch.
- 2nd Base
- When a player reaches 2nd base, that player must stop at second and chug a beer (size of beers determined by the commissioner and each team must be treated equally) before moving on to 3rd base.
- That player can leave 2nd base anytime after the beer has been finished whether its on the same play or a future play.
- Multiple players can accumulate at 2nd base and 2nd base only. There is never a force out at third so a player is never forced to leave 2nd base.
- Players must advance from 2nd base in the order they arrived, no passing. Although multiple players can run at the same time and score together.
- 7. Disputes - Disputes occur more frequently as the game goes on and the kegs get lighter (go figure). Settle all REASONABLE disputes like gentlemen, through boat races.
- A dispute over a play between two players, such as being thrown out at first, or tagged out at home can be settled in a 1-on-1 boat race to save time.
- Larger disputes such as disputes over the rules that cannot be settled by the Commish, should be settled in a team vs. team boat race.

All Access: Team Chuck's Rising Stars Challenge Practice
Mark Remme
Wolves Editor/Writer
Email / Twitter
One of the perks of being selected for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge is the privilege of playing for two of the NBA's all-time greatest superstars in Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal. It's an added bonus for the rookies and sophomores who not only get to experience All-Star Weekend, but also get to take in the festivities with NBA legends.
Who knows? Maybe they can take something away from the experience on the court.
"I hope he shows me a thing or two," said Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried about his presence on the boards. Faried is known for ferociously attacking the rim, and Barkley snagged over 12,500 boards in his career. "He's a Hall of Famer. I want him to show me a thing or two."
Tipoff for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge is set for 8 p.m. on TNT.
For Ricky Rubio, this year marks his second trip to the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge. And this year he'll be switching teams. A year ago he played for Shaq, and this year he'll be playing for Team Chuck.
He said leading up to All-Star Break that meeting Shaq and seeing how big he was in person was one of the most memorable parts of his first-year experience.
Barkley will bring another animated persona into the huddle, and Rubio's teammates are excited to see what that is going to be like.
"Chuck's a character, man," forward Anthony Davis said. "I'm wearing his shoes, because I'm on his team, but he's definitely one of the guys you love to have in your life. He's a funny guy, he played great in the league, but Chuck's a character, someone who is fun to hang around."
Guard Brandon Knight said he is most looking forward to Barkley's pregame speech. Faried fell into that category, too.
"Chuck's a confident, respected player," Faried said. "Hall of Famer. I love how flamboyant and energetic and a great person he was [as a player]."
As for the game, Shved said he's excited to get to know his teammates. He said he's begun to meet some of them and have talked basketball while they wait for the game.
Faried said he's seen Rubio's alley-oops before, and he's intrigued by what it would be like to catch one. "I would love to see how it is," Faried said. "I play with Andre Miller so I'm pretty sure it's—not the same thing but h'ell be a little bit faster."

All the Possibilities
Here's a little ditty for a dark November night:
I could've died this summer. On my commute to work one early August morning, I turned a blind curve and encountered a truck barreling toward me on the wrong side of the road. My body reacted before my conscious mind could catch up; in the span of a single second, I turned the wheel sharply to the right, veered into the brush on the edge of the pavement, slammed hard on the brake, and watched as the driver looked up from his cell phone and swerved out of the way of an otherwise inevitable collision.
It was a good thing he didn't hit me. His vehicle probably packed three times the poundage of my comparatively puny hybrid, and in spite of the five-star crash test ratings that Ford Fusions proudly sport, I'm not sure they're built to withstand the head-on power of a charging Chevy.

Pearson College UWC raced through the finish line of the TC10K for the fifth year in a row on Sunday, April 27, and we are proud to announce we had once again the largest school team, with 112 participants this year, winning the $1000 Island Farms School Team Challenge Award. The sun wasn't too hot, the rain mostly held off and the cherry blossoms were out.
We scored the School Challenge Award as fastest school team, and came in as second fastest team overall with an average time for the top 5 runners of 38:52 — just 29 seconds behind Corporate Challenge Winner LifeSport's average time of 38:23.
We were privileged to be on a team with possibly the only blind runner in the race, and one of the top-20 runners overall — an incredible feat for a run that attracted 11,000 athletes. Go, Pearson, go!

Right in front of the apartment, there is a spacious garden area, and this part of Lisbon is full of sights and attractions like the Jerónimos Monastery, the Belém Tower, the Coach Museum, and the nearby Ajuda Palace.

In our program, youth have the opportunity to participate in the planning and decision making. Gym games, cooking, arts, crafts, creative drama, music, sports, field trips, physical and natural science and outdoor skills provide youth with a variety of developmentally appropriate activities.
Our daily schedule generally looks like this:
Morning Program
Children may engage in quiet activities, free play, or gym activities and are offered breakfast before they leave for their classrooms.
Afternoon Program
Camp Fire offers a variety of experiences and opportunities for children during their time in the program. Children often have freedom to engage in an activity of their choice. Activities and special events reflect and incorporate the diverse cultures of our community.
Here's a sample afternoon schedule:
3:30-4:00: Check in/outside free play (Children must check-in with Camp Fire staff each afternoon. If a child is expected but does not check in to Camp Fire, our staff will contact their parent or guardian to establish their whereabouts).
4:00-4:30: Snack/small group activity
4:30-5:15: Group Activity or Interest Centers
5:15-6:00: Free Play or Quiet Time until check out (To keep our participants safe, we require the registering parent/adult to sign their child out of the program daily.)
Weather permitting, children go outside every day. Outdoor play provides fresh air, exercise and a chance to engage with nature.
Group Time
Children engage within small groups and a staff person on a wide variety of program activities. Activities reflect the age, needs and interests of the children in the group. Examples?
Interest Centers
Interest centers provide children with the opportunity to explore a specific topic or theme. Examples?
Children have the opportunity to participate in field trips periodically throughout the program year.
Children have time each day to participate in activities of their choice such as table games, arts, crafts, reading or gym games.
Movie Viewing
Movie viewing is sometimes a part of the program, but not more than twice a month and not longer than one and a half hours (unless it is educational in nature), and they are always rated G and selected especially for children. Television viewing is not provided in the program.
We offer breakfast daily at all before-school sites and a nutritious snack each afternoon at all after-school sites. Breakfast and snacks provided meet the USDA food program requirements and Camp Fire is an equal opportunity provider.
Camp Fire helps children gain respect for their environment by expecting them to participate in clean up.

Redistributable Software
Redistributable software is software that anyone is free to redistribute for use by others. Redistributable software generally falls into two categories: free software that may be legally changed or modified as desired by a user, and proprietary software that may not be legally changed or modified by a user (i.e. freeware, shareware, demo/trial versions).
Redistribution was critical to the success of early PC software, as physical sharing of disks and loaning of software to friends allowed software to enjoy wide adoption in the days before widespread internet use and high-speed connections.
