Hilary Hahn and the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Last Modified:
Part of SU1 Sunday 1
Andrey Boreyko, conductor
Hilary Hahn, violin
Hilary Hahn will be signing CDs at the LA Phil Store following her performances on JAN 31 - FEB 2
About This Performance
Leave it to global phenom Hilary Hahn to unearth a rare gem. Just as Brahms and Sibelius did in their concertos, Danish composer Carl Nielsen combines genuine gravitas with luminous virtuosity to present the violin "in the best light, that is, rich in content, popular and dazzling without becoming superficial."
Come for:
Gorgeous melodies with shining violin passages, augmented by a treasure from a little-known Scandinavian composer whose work is worthy of its pairing with Sibelius.
And more:
Russian conductor Andrey Boreyko's reflective and dramatic Nordic program.
Programs, artists, dates, prices and availability subject to change.

Almost two weeks of dazzling action on the water in Weymouth have taken place amid mixed reports of business benefits for local tradespeople, prompting headlines in local newspapers such as: 'So where is everybody?'.
But Simon Williams, head of Weymouth and Portland 2012 Operations, insists the authorities have delivered on their objectives to stage events that were a success for athletes and spectators, particularly on the Nothe area, the first such ticketed site for Olympic spectators.
"There may be a mixed picture, but overall we had 70,000 visitors in the town over the main [middle] weekend and you cannot rent a house or flat in Portland," said Williams.
"We have done much to diversify the business market to a whole range of businesses and the TV coverage has been outstanding, showing the geography of the place and the quality of the environment. It's the first international sailing event held at a world heritage site… There are real and tangible benefits for the long term." Read more >>

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
1. Don't let email control you
The inherent instant gratification of clearing your inbox provides a brief feeling of accomplishment, but it's really not productive. Using email is just one part of work. Determine how much time you want to spend in your inbox on a given day and don't exceed it. When you first open your inbox in the morning, star/flag emails that must be dealt with today, but make sure to focus on your top leads and work priorities first before diving into your Inbox.
Dedicate 30-minute blocks every two hours to staying on top of email. If you need more time, make it 45-minute blocks, but it's critical to not let your inbox control you.
2. Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize
When you do make it to your inbox, it's key to remember that not all emails are created equal. Most email clients give each email the same amount of real estate on the screen. Flags, stars and other prioritization signals help, but it's hard for our brain to discriminate. This creates a tendency to give each email the same amount of attention upfront. In reality not all emails are created equal. Some need to be read and responded to right away (these are your top leads and opportunities). Some can wait until you're done with important priorities (smaller or low probability deals). Others should be archived or deleted in bulk.
This means that some emails will never be responded to, and that's OK in the world of limited time and resources. Start with your top opportunities, and make sure you dedicate enough time to them. Even if you don't get to the smaller stuff, you'll feel great that you went after your top leads and gave them your best.
3. Create a system
Folders are vital to the success of any email processor, but it's a losing situation if they aren't utilized correctly. Make sure each folder has a distinct purpose and has a relevant title. If you aren't using a folder delete it.
Filters are just as critical. You can create manual filters in Gmail or Outlook, or use automatic intelligent tools like SaneBox.com, which automatically filter out unimportant emails. (SaneBox also integrates with Salesforce.com, and makes sure your Salesforce leads and contacts are treated as top priority in your Inbox).
4. Be Decisive
When checking your email, decide what to do with each email immediately:
This approach is called Inbox Zero, and has become a popular email management method. It prevents looking at the same email twice, which is one of the greatest time wasters (and something we are all guilty of)!
5. Use email tools
While everyone complains about email overload, few realize there are a number of excellent tools to make things better. Some of my favorites are:
Rapportive – shows you everything about your contact right inside your Inbox
Awayfind– sends you SMS notifications when you get an email from important senders, so you don't have to keep checking your Inbox
ToutApp – offers templates and helps you track open rates on emails you send
SaneBox– filters out and summarizes unimportant emails. It has lots of other tools, such as reminders when an email you sent was not replied to by a certain time (perfect for following up on sales emails).
Dmitri Leonov is Vice President of Growth at Sanebox, a provider of an email overload solution.

Please tell how Danny evolved his game with Vogel in charge, I'm interested in that.
Printable View
Please tell how Danny evolved his game with Vogel in charge, I'm interested in that.
11-12 West was coming off of the ACL tear and injury. He only averaged 29 MPG (compared to 33 last year) and while he was a very good player, he wasn't 100%. Last year he was noticeably more spry and agile.
Maybe 11-12 PG could have done a bit more without DG, but he was still just a 21 year old second year player. And he did increase his PPG by 4 and a half points from his rookie season. I do agree with your premise that DG's absence last year forced PG to become the leader on the offensive end overnight.
It's hard for me to complain about 11-12 DG because he was the leading scorer on a team that won 63% of its games. A lot has certainly changed since then, but he was a pretty good player that year.
PG was not ready to take the reins in 11-12. Everyone knew that. He made a huge leap between then and 12-13. Danny was still the best offensive weapon that season. West wasn't 100%. And wasn't that the season Roy was an all star? He was used pretty effectively.
I expect a player that has the ball in his hands a lot to do more then score with it. How's that a double standard?
Logic would lead us to one conclusion.....
IF you have another possibility,
Don't need this part to make your point, but it can be seen as rude or disrespectful
, I'd like to hear it.
But how does that make him a chucker? Just because a player isnt a creator, he is a chucker?
So an in his prime recent Allstar Danny has very similar shot attempts, usage rates, percentages etc with a less talented team than a young up-n-coming Paul who has much more talent around him and DANNY is the chucker? And oh by the way, Paul was an Allstar and all NBA performer with last seasons numbers....but he wasnt a chucker...Danny was...even though they took the same amount of shots, etc...
Makes zero sense....if one is a chucker then obviously the other would be a chucker...the numbers bare that out....now...i am of the opinion neither were anything close to being a chucker...But to call one a chucker and one not when they have very similar shot attempts, usage rates and conversion rates seems pretty hypocritical....
As for Danny evolving it seems very very clear...What he was asked to do changed....From the very first game Vogel took over his shot attempts dropped significantly...he went from taking 18 or 19 a game for a few years to taking 14 or 15...and he was doing a bit more driving and definitely changed the way he was defending...all these things were pretty obvious....different coach..different philosophy...game changed...Danny did what he was asked to do..always...whether it be from Rick Carlisle...JOB...or Vogel....and quite frankly if we were going to compare, he probably did so with more humility and less diva....but to be fair..he was older, wiser and in some ways more mature than Paul is...thats why Paul gets a pass...
So many people forget that in that Heat series, Danny was the only player who was consistently hitting his shots. West and Hibbert both had up and down games during that series. And it was Danny who knocked off Lebron's headband LOL. Tru-Warrior. Granger was still easily our best player that season. Pacers went on a tear the final 20 games of the season. That was team that featured Lou Amundson as the back up Center. So this idea that Granger was never a good player on a good team is just preposterous. He led a pretty good team. They had Miami on the ropes. The only real quality vets on that team were Granger, West, and Barbosa.
Lets note that I called him superstar for about a month when he was able to pick it up and was killing teams(but he was a chucker for longer than that).
Danny averaged 13.3 PPG on 37.6% shooting in that Heat series. He was pretty bad in games 1 and 2 in Miami (West and Hill were top 2 scorers in game 2). He played pretty good in games 3 and 4 back home, but wasn't that good in the final two games of the series (only shot the ball 6 times in game 5). It's certainly fair to wonder whether Danny's health was beginning to bother him in that series, but he was hardly consistently hitting shots against Miami. But Miami was a brutal opponent and everyone was inconsistent to a point.
I see that people are using the same stats they used to compare Reggie to DG to now compare him to Paul George yeah that is not going to work :unimpress
And one more oh by the way....the Pacers got off to a pretty awesome start that year...and finished at 42-24 which was good enough for 3rd best in the eastern conference...so it couldnt be all that bad...not for a chucker anyway
Danny's all-star year he was great all-around except defensively. I wouldn't say he was C word that year.
I know what you're saying. You said he was playing at a superstar level during the last month, when he "was able to pick it up." He "picked it up" by shooting 46%. If shooting 46% makes him a superstar, what does shooting 44% make him? I'm not moving anything, I'm asking YOU to give YOUR opinion.

Haven't been on here in a while (ok, a long, long while!), but I have a question/favor to ask? My sister has just been offered a job in Folsom, and my mom is wondering if you could be a guide of sorts. My niece is in 7th grade, and we were wondering which of the middle schools is better, what neighborhoods up there are good and where to avoid, churches in the area with active youth groups....
Anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated. Missed being online; gotta get back into the swing of things and catch up with everyone! Still hoping for my scooter, still looking for a job, still wanting to sell my house... life goes on, but remains the same! All's well with you?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - More than 35,000 people signed a petition calling for Florida to secede from the union -- more than passing the White House threshold for promising a response.
People from almost every state have signed petitions on the White House's website asking to secede from the union. Most of the state petitions started after President Barack Obama's reelection.
David from Arcadia, Bryant from Panama City and Adam from Apopka were among those signing the petition asking the Obama administration to allow Florida to peacefully withdraw from the union and create its own government, free of federal rule.
Democratic strategist Steve Schale says the petitioners represent a small segment of the population.
"People that want to leave the country make up a distinct minority of the country. That being said, they have a right to have their voice heard," Schale said.
Concerns over the federal debt, drone use, the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act and Transportation Safety Administration searches are fueling the calls for secession. Some people, like tea party members, want the union to stay intact, they just believe the federal government has exceeded its constitutional bounds and they want ObamaCare repealed.
Anticipating backlash to the president's reelection, Florida's new House Speaker, Republican Will Weatherford, had this message for his colleagues in the Legislature:
"We have a president, and for those who wish him to fail, or for that matter wish our Congress to fail, only wish for America to fail and that is unacceptable," Weatherford said.
The White House promises to post a response to the petition on its website. A petition for Texas to secede currently has the most signatures: more than 100,000. A petition on the site calling to strip the citizenship of everyone who signs a secession petition has 22,000 signatures.

During the presentation of diplomas, there was a time of remembrance for Giselle Charissah McComb, of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, who passed away on December 28, 2010. Dr. Michael DeVries, professor of psychology, spoke in her honor. : Giselle's parents Michael and Janice McComb accepted her diploma.

At the planning stage think about adding beautiful mouldings: cornices and skirting boards, and maybe even adding wainscotting or tongue and groove panelling (bead board) to your walls. Raising your ceilings to at least nine feet is also critical to give your home that old style feel. Recycled floorboards are another way to add a beautiful feeling of character and solidity to your home.
But let's face it, often the budget precludes people from doing some of the above things - they can be costly additions. But one thing that might just possibly be within reach of the average jo is architectural salvage.
I think it is really sad when lovely old homes get demolished, but the fact is, it does happen - often because the house is unsound or because it is cheaper to rebuild from scratch rather than renovate. But at least if they are going to be demolished, parts of the home can be salvaged for others to re-use.
With some patience, you might just be able to find a fabulous fireplace, a great bathtub or some wonderful old doors. And think outside the square - consider barn doors, doors from a pub, or shutters.
I've had a really busy week - working extra hours at work because I'm off to Bali next week. And the weekend is full, full, full! So I'm struggling to visit blogs right now, but when I come back and have found my feet again, I'll be back with bells on!
Best wishes,

Item: EZ-MOUNT-LOCK

Biometric Home or Office Locks Upgrade Security with One Second Entry
Biometric lock technology has revolutionized the way many home owners and businesses protect their properties. Unlike standard key locks, biometric locks require a one second scan of a fingerprint for entry. Since every fingerprint is unique, you know that unwanted intruders won't be able to access your property. Once a fingerprint is stored in the system, you can easily manage who has access at what time, depending on time or day. Completely bump proof, drill proof, and tamper proof, this lock features a high pitched alarm to deter any thieves trying to break in.
With the capability of programming in up to 99 users, you never have to worry about having to leave the key under the mat or figuring out a way to give it to visiting family when you're not around (or worse yet, having to come back home because a family member got locked out). You also have the option of selecting a specific time that users have access to your home. For example, you can grant access to the housekeeper in the morning, baby-sitter only at night at, and family members total access. Housekeeper not supposed to enter your house in the evening? Limit his or her access to authorized times of entry, locking them out any other times.
The NX3 EZ-Mount Deadbolt comes with a one inch brass deadbolt with case-hardened steel roller pin. Unlike most other biometric locks that use a hollow tin deadbolt, this one is guaranteed to resist sawing and provide extra security. It also comes with an impact alarm, meaning if someone tries to use brute force to break in (such as a crowbar or a bump key), a high-pitched alarm will sound to alert you and your neighbors, while at the same time scaring off the intruder.

Did you know?
The meerkat troop at De Zeekoe inhabits a burrow system thought to be centuries old.
There is something magical about watching a meerkat greet a new day.
Go out before sunrise on De Zeekoe guest farm outside Oudtshoorn on the Route 62, and you'll encounter meerkats in a non-invasive way, and will gain a real insight into their lives, within their natural habitat.
Meerkats hate the cold, so they're only up once sunlight hits their burrow. By then, you'll be seated on portable chairs in a semi-circle, and you've had a full rundown on meerkats and their intriguing lives.
Actually, only one meerkat will come up initially – the sentinel. She'll face the sun, arms at her side, absorbing heat through her 'solar panel' – the dark patch on her belly. You'll see her head swivelling, her dark eyes moving ceaselessly back and forth. She will study the people, then the surrounding bush, then gaze at the skies, on the lookout for the meerkats' most-feared foes – birds of prey.
Then, one at a time, she will be joined by the others, and as sentinel she'll give a quiet, regular chirrup, reassuring them that all is well. Zoologists call it the 'Watchman's Song'. They will all line up to greet the sun and warm up. Meerkats don't have much fat at all, so they rely on the sun to rev up their metabolisms, somewhat like reptiles.
This colony of a dozen or so meerkats at De Zeekoe is habituated to humans. So while they won't necessarily scamper up to you, they won't run for the hills either, as a normal wild troop would.
After the warm-up, some of the younger meerkats will start to play. The adults will start digging here and there for grubs, and the meerkats will disperse into a loose group (still guarded by the sentinel, still incessantly scanning the horizons and skies).
And you'll follow them for a small while, learning something about a day in the life of a meerkat troop.
When it's time to go, you'll leave them to their mad scrabbling and insect hunts; and soon they'll be all but invisible behind the short Karoo shrubs.

How to get here
The closest airport to Oudtshoorn is George, about 65km away. (George is in the centre of the Garden Route). From George take the N12 north over the spectacular Outeniqua mountain pass. Depending on photographic stops, it will take you under an hour to get to Oudtshoorn. Alternatively, if you're coming from Cape Town, it is about a five-hour drive along the R62. From Port Elizabeth, it's also just over five hours' drive. Take the N2 westwards and at George, take the N12 north. De Zeekoe is only 8km from the western edge of Oudtshoorn, along the R328 to Mossel Bay.
Best time to visit
You can visit the meerkats any time of year. They rise later in winter (April to September) than in summer (October to March), and they stay underground if it's raining.
Around the area
Some of the most popular attractions around Oudtshoorn include the famous Cango Caves, the Cango Wildlife Ranch and of course, ostrich farms.

If you're staying at De Zeekoe, you can go on a tour of the farm, towed by a 1958 tractor, or on the back of a horse.
Get around
Once you've parked your car near the meerkat colony, Devey Glinister will guide you on a short walk to the burrow where they are.
What will it cost
If you're staying at De Zeekoe guest farm, it will cost R450 per person for the tour. If you're staying elsewhere, the tour will cost R550. This includes coffee and rusks and you'll be sent images of yourself with meerkats in the foreground.
Length of stay
The meerkat experience lasts about three hours. But there's so much to do around Oudtshoorn you could easily spend a few nights here. Also, if the weather is inclement, you may miss the meerkats on the first morning. We recommend you stay for two days.
What to pack
In summer (October to March), bring a hat. In winter (April to September) bring your warmest gear, including beanies, gloves and warm socks. Don't forget your camera.
Where to stay
De Zeekoe has excellent accommodation varying from luxurious to comfortable. Alternately, Oudtshoorn has many options.
What to eat
When in Oudtshoorn, try eating ostrich meat, which is lean and tasty.
What's happening
Oudtshoorn hosts the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees, a cultural festival celebrating the Afrikaans language, every year in March.
Best buys
Ostrich meat, ostrich biltong, ostrich feathers, ostrich feather-dusters, and ostrich egg shells (decorated and plain).

Solver on the CaseMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Law enforcement officials in the city of Brane Gully face a peculiar challenge. The city's criminal element, the Witty Mafia, violates all the laws on the books and attempts to obscure its crimes using riddles and puzzles of all kinds. When the BGPD is stumped, they call in Miss Terry Solver, P.I. to help solve the case.
Twenty-four Amazonian artifacts had disappeared from the Brane Gully Natural History Museum, so the police rounded up the usual suspects. The small carved fish were worth a fortune, and could be hidden nearly anywhere. Evidence and leads from interrogations led the police to the public library, where the artifacts were being hidden until they could be shipped safely out of the country.
One officer's hunch proved correct when he searched through books on the Amazon and found 12 fish hidden in the hollowed-out tomes. The last book he searched contained no fish--but a riddle for the courier divulging the location of the remaining artifacts. Time was of the essence, so police called in Solver to make sense of the puzzle. Solver read:
Let this note be your Reference,
Your guide for where to look.
You don't have to search the
World for a Book.
You may feel heartbreak,
Like you lost your first beau,
Just remember that old cliche,
And you'll know just where to go.
Solver looked pensive for only a moment, then a smile spread across her face. She led detectives directly to a large book, and produced all of the remaining artifacts from the hollowed-out volume.
How did Solver know where to find the remaining artifacts?
AnswerThe riddle guided her to the reference section, and to the World Book encyclopedias. She knew to grab the third volume, because when you are heartbroken someone is likely to tell you, "There are always other fish in the sea (C)."

I recently downloaded BackTrack 4 and have run into a problem.
My linux experience is limited and I'm only just starting to get a hang of using the console/UNIX commands ect. Before anyone jumps on me for asking to be spoon fed I'm searching for answers while I'm waiting for replies.
So, I downloaded BT4, and played with it as a Live USB (4gb), seemed nice enough and had a bunch of cool tools but i wanted to be able to save files and changes so i decided to buy a 16gb flash drive and install it onto that. I booted BT4 from a DVD and went through the install process, making sure that I installed it to the USB drive (sdb) however i think i forgot to click on the "Advanced" tab on the 7th and final step to change the boot loader from the default hd0 (i think?) to sdb, After BT4 finished installing I clicked to reboot, entered the BIOS and changed the boot from CD/DVD to USB, rebooted and got a boot error from the USB.
Realizing what must be causing the problem I booted from the DVD again, reformatted the USB drive and went through the install process again, this time making sure I set it to install the boot loader to sdb. Once it finished installing I rebooted, set the BIOS to boot from USB, and BT4 booted fine, i made a file and rebooted again just to make sure it was saving files and then shut down. Everything is roses right?
Well not quite, I removed the USB stick and tried to boot windows XP which is installed on my HDD and i got this error:
This is no doubt caused from the first install where it installed the boot loader to hd0. Now i can't boot windows. I tried using the XP setup disk to repair the installation but that didn't work. How can i fix this?Quote:

Dallas -- 7-Eleven announced Monday it has closed on the acquisition of 46 Hickory Point and Palms Stores from CB Mart.
While the terms of this particular deal haven't been made public, the acquisition boosts 7-Eleven's Carolinas store count to more than 100 and puts the c-store operator solidly on track to continue its accelerated growth plan. 7-Eleven earlier acquired 55 Sam's Mart and 13 Fast Track stores in the two-state area.
"7-Eleven is committed to building its presence in the Carolinas and bringing our proprietary products to the acquired Hickory Point and Palms locations as the stores are converted to the 7-Eleven brand," said Stan Reynolds, 7-Eleven EVP and CFO.

Poll: Abbott and IVF
How do you feel about Peta Credlin and Christopher Pyne making public the personal support they received from Tony Abbott during their respective experiences with IVF?
- It made me re-think how I see Tony Abbott; he's not as conservative as I thought
- I didn't think Tony Abbott's support was very surprising; any decent person would react that way
- Blatantly political - it was tacky to use their personal experiences like that

A Lesson in Patience
There's no place like home! After a few back-to-back trips, I am happy to be off of planes, out of hotel rooms, and back at my desk. Thinking back on the past few weeks, I am reminded of the connections I made in my travels. One in particular has been on my mind. From October 27-31, I had the opportunity to attend the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting & Expo in San Francisco. I've been attending and exhibiting at this conference for the NSVRC since 2005. I remember people skirting around our exhibit booth that year with puzzled looks on their faces. Some even approached and asked, "What does sexual violence have to do with public health?" I do remember a few productive conversations and connections. But I also remember feeling discouraged at the number of people who didn't want to come within 10 feet of our booth.
But we kept at it. Each year, we'd get more and more visitors to our booth as well as some great questions. Researchers began approaching us to ask about gaps and where they could focus their work.
Flash forward to 2012. We had visitor after visitor come to our exhibit booth. So many people wanted to talk about sexual violence prevention as it relates to their work – international non-profits, language access organizations, services for LGBTQ youth, family planning and reproductive health organizations. The list goes on and on. The point is that people were making connections. I heard more than one person say that they got their start in public health or social justice work as a volunteer advocate at a rape crisis center, or as a peer leader for sexual violence prevention on their campus. Although many were now in a different field of work, they still valued that connection to the movement. And not only were we reaching people at our exhibit booth, but I was also invited to present our Innovations in Prevention report findings on a panel. We had come a long way since 2005!
This progress is not unlike community prevention work. It's easy to get discouraged when you feel like your message is not being heard. But prevention is a process. Like any process , it takes time for our messages to sink in. And one thing I learned is that if I stayed in my exhibit space, nothing would change. I ventured out to other exhibit tables, finding opportunities to talk with organizations focusing on intersecting issues about opportunities to collaborate for prevention. Similarly, if we want to reach communities with our prevention message, we must step out of our offices and get to know community members and other organizations. We must become active participants in the community and find ways to make those connections to sexual violence prevention work.
I'd love to hear how you are making these connections in your community. Feel free to share by commenting below!

Lately, I've been working a lot with people that are new to LiveCycle ES2 Mosaic. One thing always seems to come up is the question of the best way to organize Mosaic projects. There aren't any hard and fast rules (with the exception of the Catalog folder layout), but I've seen enough similarities in unrelated projects to suggest that there are some unofficial conventions that are forming. I won't go as far as to call the following "best practices", rather consider them suggestions based on experience. When combined with standard Flex best practices, these suggestions may make developing your Mosaic applications a bit easier.
Folder Structure
Organization will set you free – Alton Brown
Mosaic applications consist of quite a few moving parts. There are the application descriptors, tile code, services and interfaces, authentication policies, shell skins, etc. Keeping these sorted out will definitely make your life easier, especially when it comes to deploying and debugging. Whenever possible, I prefer to keep all of the files/folders for a single Mosaic undertaking under a single folder. That may mean having more than one application in the same folder, but at least the related code will be close by.
Under that parent folder I usually create one folder for each major Mosaic component. The folder names are in lower case to differentiate them from the Catalog's folders (more on that later). For example: I have a project called the Sales Dashboard, which will contain an application, catalog, several tiles, a service, a custom style sheet, etc. To keep from going insane, I created the following folder structure:
- applications – this folder contains the application descriptor xml file(s)
- catalogs – this folder contains the deployable contents for the project's catalog. If I was to have multiple catalogs, then they would each go in a separate subfolder. A catalog's structure is one of the few things that must have a specific structure. This is because the catalog folder gets zipped and then deployed to the Mosaic server. For more on the catalog folder's structure, see the section below.
- interfaces – this project uses a Mosaic Service component that is used by several tiles. Each service component consists of two parts – the interface library and the service class. This folder contains sub folders for each of the interface library projects. Those subfolders contain a Flex Builder project that includes the source code for the interface. In this example I have a single interface library called the "SalesDashboardInterfaceLibrary", so the interface folder has a single subfolder with that name. In the subfolder is a Flex Builder project for the interface:
- policies – if you are using the Mosaic fine grained authorization, then this folder contains the XACML files that provide authorization information for the elements.
- services – this folder is related to the interfaces folder. It contains subfolders for each of the service class files. Inside those subfolders is a Flex Builder project used to develop the service code. For example, this application includes a "SalesDashboardService". That subfolder contains a Flex Builder project for that service library:
- stylesheets – this project contains a custom skin for the Mosaic application. The Flex Builder project for this skin is in a subfolder under the stylesheets folder. If I had more than one skin, then each would get its own subfolder. For example, my skin project is called "GlobalCorpSkins":
- tiles – this folder contains sub folders for each of the Flex Builder tile projects. Usually I try to keep related tiles in the same Flex Builder project (it makes debugging a bit easier), so a single sub folder may contain many tiles. There are some cases, however, where a particular tile needs its own project. For example, if it uses a different Flex SDK or comes from a legacy application. How fine grained you want to make the tile projects is really up to you, but keeping them all under this one tiles folder will make them easier to find. In this example I have two tile projects – Flex 4 tiles (which contains several tiles) and Map (which contains a single, very complex tile):
Catalog Structure
As I said earlier, the catalog structure is the one thing that must be in a specific format. The catalog contains the deploy objects (compiled code, resources, etc.) and it will be zipped, then sent to the Mosaic server. The server is expecting specific things to be in specific folders. And yes, those folders are case sensitive.
- descriptor.xml – this is the catalog's definition file. It must be named descriptor.xml and it must be at the root of the catalog zip file
- Interfaces – contains the compiled swf for the interface libraries.
- Resources – this is where the miscellaneous stuff needed for tiles and services is stored. Things like images, XML files, videos, etc. are put here.
- Services – contains the compiled swf for the service classes
- Stylesheets – contains the skin classes complied into a swf
- Tiles – contains subfolders for each of the tiles in the catalog. The subfolder names is the same name as the tile, and they contain the tile swf files.
Flex Builder Linked Resources
Since tiles, services and skin projects rely on the Mosaic SDK, you'll need to include the appropriate SDK swc in each of your projects. Rather than hard coding the path, it is a good idea to create a pointer to the SDK folder and let Flash Builder sort out the location. This makes your code more portable, if you give it to someone else, they don't have to have the SDK in exactly the same location as you do.
To set up a linked resource to the Mosaic SDK:
- Open Flex Builder
- Choose Window –> Preferences
- Choose General –> Workspace –> Linked Resources
- Click the New button
- Give it a name of MOSAIC_SDK
- Click the Folder button and browse to your Mosaic SDK folder. Don't go any lower than the "sdk" folder.
- Click OK to close the dialogs
When you create a new Mosaic project you can use the linked resource in your Flex Build Path. Then if someone else opens your project and has the SDK in a different location, Flash Builder will sort out the reference (assuming they have a MOSAIC_SDK resource).
ANT Scripts
It may seem that I've gone a little berserk with the organization of the project. I mean, how anal retentive can you get? Why not just lump everything together in one or two folders and be done with it?
The answer lies in the application deployment through ANT scripts. Having a highly organized structure like this allow you to build the deployment code as a few, small ANT files. These can be combined together to quickly deploy code changes in an efficient manner. There are few things more annoying than testing against the wrong code.
For example; At the root of the project I have an ANT script that deploys the catalog, application and policies. Before that section executes, it calls ANT scripts in the sub folders that re-compile the interface, service, style sheet and tile classes, and move them to the appropriate location in the catalog structure. Using this, I can make changes to a tile, run the root ANT script and ensure that everything is the current version.
True, it takes a bit more effort to set up, but the time and frustration savings are well worth it. Here's what my final folder structure looks like:
Request for Comments
For what its worth, most of the above is my opinion based on my own experiences. If you have any additional suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

ITEM#: 15081015A former slave and a German bounty hunter become unlikely allies in the battle against a tyrannical plantation owner in this western from visionary director Quentin Tarantino. Two years before the Civil War pits brother-against-brother, German-born fugitive hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz) arrives in America determined to capture the outlaw Brittle brothers dead or alive. In the midst of his search, Dr. Schultz crosses paths with Django (Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx), a freed slave and skilled tracker who seeks to rescue his beloved wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio). Once Django has aided Dr. Schultz in coralling the Brittle brothers, the two team up to capture some of the most wanted men in the South. Meanwhile, Django never loses sight of his mission to free Broomhilda from the treacherous slave trade before it's too late. Upon arriving at Candie's nefarious plantation, dubbed Candyland, Django and Dr. Schultz discover that slaves are being groomed for gladiator-like competitions by Candie's malevolent right-hand man Billy Crash (Walton Goggins), and together they skillfully work their way onto the compound for a closer look. But just as Django and his partner locate Broomhilda and plot a daring escape, Candie's house slave Stephen (Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson) catches wind of their plan, and informs his master of the betrayal. Now, as a clandestine organization attempts to back them into a corner, Django and Dr. Schultz will have to come out with pistols blazing if they ever hope to free Broomhilda from Candyland and the clutches of its vile proprietor.

A MALVERN woman has spoken of her shock at being asked by gym staff to stop dancing on a treadmill.
Self-employed tax accountant Karen Lowen from Ash Close visited the gym at Malvern Splash in Priory Road on Friday, March 28 and got on the treadmill as normal.
But when she began to perform some dance moves as she had been doing for some time she was approached by a member of staff who asked her to stop.
"I was told I wasn't walking or running in a prescribed manner," she said.
"I was shocked – I said I wasn't doing anything that put me or anyone else at risk but they wouldn't listen.
"They said I could use the dance studio if I wanted but when I asked them if there would be a treadmill in there they said no."
Treadmill dancing is a method of exercise becoming increasingly popular in America but largely unknown in the UK. Although some people turn around and face the opposite direction while performing the workout, Mrs Lowen – who paid £33 a month for her membership – said the most she had ever done was turn sideways.
"It's really just a combination of walking and running," she said.
"The riskiest I've ever done is to go sideways, I've never turned fully around.
"I'm not really a gym person – I was told by my doctor to start exercising because I've got thyroid problems and this was what kept me coming back. "I'm really quite shocked that anyone could find me a risk in any way."
A spokesman from management company Everyone Active said: "The primary concern for Everyone Active is the safety of our customers whilst they are using our facilities.
"In this particular instance we felt that the manoeuvre being performed by Mrs Lowen on the treadmill was putting her at risk of injury so we offered her alternative space in which to perform her activities. "After declining this offer we had no choice but to ask Mrs Lowen to stop engaging in this activity whilst on the treadmill. "We always try to accommodate the different activities that our members want to perform in our leisure centre but feel that, on this occasion, the activity was putting the member at risk of injury and so had to intervene."
Mrs Lowen's membership of the gym has since been cancelled and she has instead signed up at nearby Malvern Spa, where staff have reviewed her method of exercising and given her the go-ahead to carry on.

Blueberries that are moldy, black and bruised bananas, lettuce that time forgot in the recesses of the refrigerator. We all throw away produce, and probably more than we suspect. Food waste is becoming a hot issue, with organizations left and right suggesting how the waste can be curtailed. A recent U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization report estimated nearly half of fruits and vegetables produced worldwide are lost or wasted somewhere along the supply chain from farm to consumer. Among its recommendations, the paper urged producers to "harvest all that is grown, at the optimal time," to invest in better storage technology and to compost/mulch unavoidable organic waste. While investing in improved storage technology and mulching organic waste are seemingly sound ideas, the idea of some technocrat advising growers to "harvest all that is grown, at the optimal time" is laughable. Have no doubt, growers have a notion of how to harvest their crop, and that usually means maximizing their yield and picking their crop at its peak. However, practical considerations can sometimes mean leaving fruit that is sunburned or otherwise defective in the field rather than incurring picking costs.
As for retailers, the U.S. FAO report suggests allowing consumers to customize the amount of food they buy, to expand the definition of acceptable food, to sell imperfect items at a discount and donate food that is unsellable but still edible. Again, these in the main do not seem especially objectionable goals. However, telling retailers to "expand the definition of acceptable food" is a foolish proposition. Why should retailers stock misshapen produce on their shelves — and pay the packing, handling and transportation costs from the farm — if consumers never buy it? In coverage in The Guardian, a story said Britain's Soil Association calculates that in the United Kingdom, 20% to 40% of produce is rejected because it's misshapen. Efforts to get U.K. retailers to carry ugly fruit haven't been successful, so one business in England is envisioning "trendy shops selling exclusively misshapen fruit." That is not a way to get "ugly" produce to the masses, sad to say. Speaking to the topic of expiration dates on perishable food, the Natural Resources Defense Council this week issued a paper called "The Dating Game: How Confusing Food Date Labels Lead to Food Waste in America." The report finds fault with the lack of binding federal standards and wide variability in state and local labeling rules. The authors said the current "convoluted system" results in confusion and food waste, since consumers think the label reflects the food's microbial safety. Labels also bog down redistribution efforts by making the handling of past-date foods "administratively and legally complex." The council recommends steps to standardize and clarify the food date labeling system across the U.S., including: Make "sell-by" dates invisible to the consumer; Establish a reliable, coherent and uniform consumer-facing dating system; and Increase the use of safe handling instructions and "smart" labels. The council gamely attempts to wrap up the problem in one fell swoop of prescribed solutions, and the goal of establishing a "reliable, coherent and uniform consumer-facing dating system" seems overly ambitious. Perhaps the PTI label could inform the consumer about product freshness, though most consumers use the eye and nose test to determine the fate of fruits and vegetables. There is no question the industry — and consumers — can do better in the quest to reduce food waste. Recent USDA statistics on loss-adjusted availability (counting the non-edible share of produce as loss) for fruits and vegetables show that 53% of fresh vegetables and 63% of fruits are lost somewhere in the supply chain. Just as sustainability measures should not be contrived or forced, the motivation to reduce fruit and vegetable waste in the supply chain should be based on simple economic motivation, enlightened self-interest. Do this, and make more money. You have black bananas? Make banana bread. So far, the invisible hand of the market is not providing enough answers and incentives to reduce food waste. firstname.lastname@example.com What's your opinion?

I had a friend catch and bring me two beautiful Rainbow Trout last week, I have been wanting to try whole grilled trout for a while, so this gave me the perfect opportunity to give it a try.
I found Steven's Grilled Whole trout recipe from the Primal Grill site, http://www.primalgrill.org/recipe_details.asp?RecipeID=21&EpisodeID=5
Started off with getting my stuffables ready to go, some sliced fresh Lemon and fresh Dill:
Next I sliced open the belly and stuff with lemon, Dill, salt and pepper:
Lastly I wrapped the fish with thinly sliced prosciutto and tied the fish closed with cooking twine:
Brushed the fish with olive oil and grilled with over a direct flame. The smell coming off the grill when the fish was cooking was unbelievable, grilled about 8 minutes per side and brought them in the house. Filleting the two fish was a lot easier than I thought, and the spin with bones pulled right out.
Severed them with the dill sauce from the recipe and some roasted curry Cauliflower:
What a great meal, Trout is such a delicate fish and such a nice flavor!

MORE than 180 health workers have been thanked for their 'loyalty' to the Royal Blackburn and Burnley General hospitals.
The past year has almost certainly been the most difficult in the history of East Lancashire's NHS services, after the hospitals were placed in special measures, but thousands of nurses, doctors and support workers have continued to give their all for patients.
Staff who have clocked up 25 years' service were recognised by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust during two ceremonies held in Blackburn and Burnley last week, with chairman, Professor Eileen Fairhurst, and interim chief executive, Jim Birrell, presenting them with certificates for long service.
The groups included consultants, medical secretaries, clerical workers, nurses, health care assistants, catering staff and HR and organisational development staff.
Mr Birrell said: "I would like to congratulate these staff on their long service and thank every one of them for their loyalty, hard work and dedication to this trust. Staff are our most important asset and retaining experienced members of staff and all their knowledge and expertise is an important part of building and maintaining a successful organisation."
The trust has been following a detailed improvement plan since last summer, when NHS medical director Sir Bruce Keogh published a damning report which made wide-ranging criticisms of the way it had been run.
The hospitals have recruited about 300 nurses and healthcare assistants and improved performance in several key areas, including the emergency department, although patients have still complained of serious problems.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- Ten years ago, as I prepared to take part in the invasion of Iraq, I never thought women would be allowed to serve in combat jobs in the U.S. military, at least not in my lifetime. To be honest, I wasn't even sure it was a good idea.
Some of my male comrades in the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) had even clearer thoughts on the question. They told me, sometimes to my face, that I didn't belong in the military at all, much less in a combat zone. Women serving in the infantry was simply anathema to them.
Then we crossed the berm into Iraq and drove into Baghdad. Suddenly, my skills as an Arabic linguist were more important than my gender. On combat foot patrols with infantry troops, my ability to help successfully accomplish the mission was the only thing that mattered. During major combat operations, the fact I was a woman was only meaningful if my presence made it easier for the guys to interact with local women. Some Iraqi women were prevented by custom or religion from talking to me; others were simply terrified of huge soldiers strapped in military gear suddenly appearing at their door. The presence of another woman sometimes calmed them and gave them the comfort level to tell us about threats in their neighbourhood.
After I returned home, I started to question my earlier doubts. In time, I became convinced that although the older generation of military leaders may not have been prepared to see women attain full equality in uniform, the troops I served alongside would be ready once they moved into leadership positions. They would have seen female medics, helicopter pilots and food specialists serve in combat. Women such as Monica Lin Brown, an army medic who was awarded the Silver Star for her combat valor in Afghanistan; Tammy Duckworth, a helicopter pilot who lost both her legs due to injuries sustained in combat in Iraq; and Shoshana Johnson, a food-service specialist who became the first African-American female POW when her unit was ambushed in Iraq.
The men and women with whom I served saw Americans did not rise up in protest when more than 150 female U.S. service members gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rather, the public accepted women who chose to volunteer for military service did so knowing the risks and grieved for them just as they did for the men who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan came to understand that in complex counter-insurgency operations, especially in Muslim nations, the presence of female troops is a vital way to interact with the civilian population -- so important, in fact, that military leaders have long been skirting the old regulations by placing women in combat units.
With U.S. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta's move this week to repeal the combat ban on female soldiers, the policy will finally catch up to the reality many of us who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan already know. It will be now be up to the services to demonstrate women should be banned from specific jobs, rather than there being a blanket ban on women in all ground-combat roles and smaller units whose primary mission is direct ground combat. It is a tremendous step forward. The fact that the final push has come from within the military speaks volumes for how vital women have become to operational success.
Much work remains to be done to implement this landmark reform. It is likely the military will follow a multi-year process for phasing in changes, similar to that planned by the Australian military. Australia began allowing women to transfer between services into combat roles this month and will allow female recruits to enter those jobs directly in January 2016. The Aussies believe these changes will be fully implemented later that same year. Canada opened combat jobs to women in 1989.
The U.S. military services (particularly the army and marines) may argue that some jobs, particularly in the special forces, should remain closed to women. But as women continue to prove their abilities in a growing number of positions, those exclusions will become harder to justify.
It is true that not all women can handle the physical demands of military service. However, neither can all men. In fact, only 25 per cent of today's young people qualify for military service at all -- the rest are too obese, too poorly educated or have criminal backgrounds that bar them. This week, Panetta acknowledged that to maintain the high standards of the military, assignments should be based on ability, not gender.
There will be challenges, just as there are with any policy change across the military. However, the dire predictions of catastrophe in the wake of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell were gratifyingly overwrought. The pundits who claimed the military would not be able to handle gays serving openly are typically the same ones who argue against women serving equally; I am convinced they will be just as wrong this time as they were then. Today, women in the military will revel at the news. Tomorrow they will go back to work.

The Old Neighborhood's All Wet–But With Good Reason
Sunrise Drive is where I grew up. You can see it on the far left of this photo. And my old house is still there. All the houses, in fact, still stand on the east side of Sunrise. But across the street? That's a different story. Sunrise West (for lack of a better term) is now a basin, and it's helped do the city of Owensboro a world of good in recent weeks.

Tales of the Road
One thousand days by motorcycle through the Americas
de Chris Smith & Liz Peel
Acerca del libro
The blogs, as they were written while on the road. More than a thousand days, over seventy-two thousand miles, countless adventures and more than a few unexpected encounters. Three years riding a motorcycle around the Americas gave us far more than we ever bargained for – racing Mexican cowboys on galloping horses, swimming with hammer-head sharks in the Galapagos, being mistaken for a Government Minister in Peru and sharing New Years Eve with the Argentinean Navy.
Before we set off on a heavily overloaded motorbike into the unknown people gave us a hundred reasons not to do it. It was foolhardy, anything could happen to us, and it did, we could be mugged, and we were, we could catch tropical diseases, and we did, it could be dangerous, and it sometimes was. It was all those things and so much more. It was fantastic.

Sickle Cell & Hemoglobinopathy Center of WNY
The Sickle Cell & Hemoglobinopathy Center of Western New York (SCHC of WNY) at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo provides medical care, education, counseling and support for children and adolescents with sickle cell disease, thalassemia and other hemoglobin disorders. It exists within the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, which is part of the Department of Pediatrics and is affiliated with the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
A diverse staff of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social worker, psychologist, dietician and physical therapists work together to give a full spectrum of comprehensive care, as well as access to an array of subspecialty care, such as pulmonology, gastroenterology, neurology and nephrology.
The SCHC of WNY promotes the highest standards of medical care and support to people and families affected by sickle cell disease and for the population at risk. Comprehensive subspecialty care by pediatric hematologists is given for both inpatients and outpatients, with emphasis on early detection, preventative care, and close monitoring and treatment for complications. Many patients are encouraged to seek amelioration of disease sequelae through hydroxyurea treatment chronic transfusion program or even recommendation for potentially curative stem cell transplantation. Close collaboration occurs with adult internal medicine providers for transition to adult sickle cell care for adolescents and young adults with availability of continued hematology consultation and transfusion management.
Comprehensive care is also provided for patients with various thalassemia syndromes as well. Thalassemia care includes management for those on a chronic transfusion program and those with iron overload, and close collaboration with sub-specialty services such as endocrinology, gastroenterology, nutrition, and others.
Medical education is provided to patients, families and healthcare providers involved in the care of patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Also through the SCHC of WNY, diagnostic interpretation and consultation are provided based on results from NYS Newborn Screening for sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait, thalassemia, and other hemoglobinopathies. Part of this includes genetic counseling to convey an understanding of the genetics of sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and either traits to any affected patients, family, and prospective parent.
The center serves as a resource to stimulate biomedical and social scientific research that seeks to further our understanding of sickle cell disease, including new knowledge about the disease, management, preventative care and curative treatment.
Psychosocial services through the SCHC of WNY include comprehensive assessment and evaluation of each patient and family. Provisions include functioning, evaluation of needs, implementation and coordination of support social services to strengthen family functioning by utilizing available social services. Services and/or referrals are provided for individual, family, group, and vocational counseling and crisis services when needed.
