Tips For Staying Near Jasper Avenue, Edmonton
Downtown Edmonton's main thoroughfare, Jasper Avenue, is home to a number of restaurants, shops, office buildings and attractions, with the main focus of retail and entertainment districts being west of 97 Street, in the Jasper West Area.
The Warehouse District can also be found just off of Jasper Avenue and between 104 Street, comprised of numerous redeveloped warehouses into lofts and boutique shops.
The street has been undergoing a dramatic transformation in the form of construction and upgrades, including wider pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and decorative streetscapes. Jasper Avenue re-opened to traffic in October of 2013. Minor infrastructure projects, including streetlights and decorative elements, will continue in the spring of 2014.
Getting Around
The downtown core is connected via an extensive climate-controlled, above- and below-ground pedway system that links many of the downtown buildings and LRT Stations, and all of the below-mentioned hotels are within a 5-minute walk of Jasper Avenue.
The LRT runs underneath Jasper Avenue from 99 to 110 Streets and the street itself is a major transportation hub serving buses from all around the city. A single-ride adult fare on the ETS (Edmonton transit) is $3.20, and a family day pass can be purchased for one adult and up to four children for $9.

Edmonton's Downtown Business Association (DBA) has compiled a guide to downtown, including a list of restaurants, festivals and attractions.

"Stay in Hospital last December 2015"
About: Lincoln County Hospital / General medicine Lincoln County Hospital General medicine LN2 5QY
Posted by D.P (as ),
I had been feeling unwell and had lost quite a lot of weight as a result of not eating properly. Therefore, the GP organised for me to have a blood test at the surgery. That evening, at about 9. 30pm I got a call from the Hospital. The person said I was to come to the Hospital straightaway to A&E, to which I replied "could I not come tomorrow" thinking it was a hoax call. The Doctor then asked if I had had a blood test that day and I confirmed that I had done, so he repeated I was to go to the Hospital immediately and was to go by ambulance. I was told my blood levels were so low they could be causing problems to my heart. The treatment I received was excellent.

It's no secret (well, to us at least) that AC:Brotherhood will be the first AC to feature a Multi-player mode. And we've all heard of the variety of Templars we're all be able to use, like the Barber, the Hunter, Executioner, Courtesan, etc, etc.
So, I want to know, based on the characters made public so far, who do you plan to use in the New Multi-Player? I've asked this on GameFAQS already, but It's quite slow there. The real talk won't be happening until the game is actually released. That, and I wan't to hear from the people here :P
Me, I'll be using The Harlequin, The Hunter, and The Barber
Harlequin- He (possibly) is my great, great, great, (more greats) grand father....or uncle.....or father's cousin......or sister's nephew.....or some other pointless theories :P
Hunter- He's the most Assassin-looking Templar so far
Barber- Yes, I'll admit, his mustache is stupid-looking, but he's the most inconspicuous guy so far, wearing less extravagant clothes than the others. That, and his weapon is as small as a Double A Battery

Unfreaking believable. Thousands of green cards are now missing and it is due to the sheer incompetency of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials sending them to the wrong addresses. This absolutely puts national security at risk. A report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (IG) reported this yesterday.
And since they are missing, how do we know they weren't stolen? They are almost certainly now in the hands of illegal immigrants, criminals and terrorists. Heads should roll over this, seriously. They knew they had a problem, but it is magnitudes greater than they feared. I'm not shocked by this with Obama at the helm. All of these agencies need to be gutted and rebooted. This is just horrifying in its implications.

"It appears that thousands of green cards have simply gone missing," DHS Inspector General John Roth said in a news release. "In the wrong hands, green cards may enable terrorists, criminals, and undocumented aliens to remain in the United States. It is vital that USCIS ensure better tools and procedures are in place to mitigate such risks."
The USCIS in the last three years received more than 200,000 reports from approved applicants claiming their cards were never delivered, the IG found. Monday's audit — a follow-up to a March IG report saying USCIS officials sent hundreds of green cards to the wrong addresses — revealed "the problem was far worse than originally thought," the IG said.
But the actual number of missing cards is unknown, as USCIS relies on reports from applicants, the IG said.
The number of reports about missing cards increased from 44,519 in fiscal year 2013, to 67,247 in fiscal year 2014, to 92,645 in fiscal year 2015, partly because of technical problems with the agency's immigration database and partly due to U.S. Postal Service issues, according to the IG.
The IG has also found that the USCIS produced at least 19,000 cards with incorrect information or were duplicates. USCIS, in addition, gave cards with 10-year expiration dates to 2,400 immigrants approved only for two-year conditional residence status. USCIS hasn't recovered the majority of those incorrect cards. And I doubt they ever will.
Most of the errors are being blamed on the "flawed design and functionality" of the agency's Electronic Immigration System (ELIS). Duh. But you better put blame where it belongs on the officials overseeing this as well. Of course, USCIS is saying the findings are unfair as they go off last known addresses. But that just makes these nincompoops look even worse. Obama has removed vital aerial observation over the border and now this… sounds like he is pushing his agenda on immigration as hard as he can before President Trump takes office.

The Psychology of Developing Software
- Written by Soliant Consulting
- Published in FileMaker Presentation
"Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years." - Teller
Magician, entertainer and critical thinker, Teller, of the famous duo Penn & Teller, was recently interviewed by Smithsonian Magazine. In it, he discusses several principles used to manipulate his audience. Magicians have been doing this for hundreds, make that thousands of years. What they are really doing is studying human psychology in order to exploit it to their own needs.
This got me thinking about the psychology of software development in particular. There are some similarities shared with the points outlined that he utilized as a magician, and the problems we face in developing software with intuitive user interface.
While the intent of a magician may be to deceive, they are many times leading their audience to a predetermined conclusion. As software developers we might want users of our solutions to take actions that we want them to without any previous training in a way that feels natural to them. A whole lot of thought goes into an intuitive design that becomes entirely transparent and natural to the end user.
That sounds easier than it is, and the landscape is continually changing. Early on, the field of interface design was mostly made up of researchers in psychology. That has changed since and now include designers that have brought in ideas they have grown up with.
This can vary a lot with age. If you learned to type on a real typewriter, your understanding of how text gets laid out on a printed page might be different than someone who learned on a word processor using a computer program. (Are there two spaces or one between sentences?) Alternatively, just about any child knows to double click an icon to "open" it, and even younger users might be more familiar tapping on a screen to do the same task. The lines might seem to blur between human nature and learned behavior.
I think this is an instance where we can learn from another discipline (magicians) that have been working to understand how to work with human psychology for much longer than our field has even existed. Just remember, all the time that you have spent learning to do whatever it is that you do (in my case, designing software) THEY have been working just as hard learning how to do what they do.
Here are a few general principles to keep in mind when developing software. This is not an exhaustive list, but just a few.
- Try to understand your audience
- Try to understand the problems they would like to solve
- Leverage standard conventions to reduce training and make your software feel more intuitive
- Handle errors in a user friendly way
- Solicit feedback and adjust
Do you have your own principles you follow when developing software solutions? Feel free to leave a comment and contribute your own ideas.

Corsair has been in the computer parts industry for so many years and they are venturing into greater heights! In 2010, they started to create gaming peripherals for the mass consumer to see how it fares. Luckily for them, their gaming peripherals were a sure success, and they've created a lot more since then.
Today, we're going to take a look at their newest gaming mouse that was specifically designed with the MMO gamer in mind. This mouse is the new Corsair Scimitar RGB gaming mouse.
The Scimitar is an RGB gaming mouse that has a lot of bells and whistles to help the MMO gamers. There is a total of 17 programmable buttons you can assign macros to using the Corsair Utility Engine.
Moreover, the aesthetics of this mouse are just so appealing. The mouse sports a black and yellow color scheme, with the Corsair logo in the middle of the mouse. The mouse wheel and the logo can be assigned colors using the proprietary software. In fact, you can use the full spectrum of 16.8 million colors! So, let your imagination run wild!
Here are the mouse features:
- The world's most advanced MOBA/MMO gaming mouse
- Revolutionary Key Slider macro button control system
- 8mm travel with secure locking mechanism
- Textured, contoured buttons
- Mechanical switches for precision control
- Optimized shape for MOBA and MMO
- 17 programmable buttons with timer and double macro support
- Multiple rest points for high-endurance comfort
- 12,000 DPI zero-acceleration optical sensor for super-accurate control
- Powerful, comprehensive backlighting software
- Key Slider macro button control system meld comfort with control
And, if you want to know the exact specifications of this gaming mouse, here they are:
- DPI: 100 dpi – 12000 dpi
- Sensor Type: Optical
- Mouse Backlighting: 4 Zone RGB
- Programmable Buttons: 17
- Report Rate: Selectable 1000Hz/500Hz/250Hz/125Hz
- On-board Memory: Yes
- Weight: 147g
- Mouse Feet: Extra Large PTFE
- Dimensions: 119.4mm x 77mm x 48.8mm
- CUE Software: Enabled
- Cable: 1.8m Braided Fiber
This gaming mouse is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also superior in its construction. The braided cable is a nice addition and it provides another layer of protection. It is also tangle-free as well.
Let's see what fellow gamers have to say about the Corsair Scimitar RGB:
Phil: "Wow. This mouse is the best mouse I have ever owned. It's extremely sturdy, very ergonomic, extremely responsive, quite adjustable, and downright beautiful.The grip and feel of the mouse is perfect for my large hands. The rubber resting nook on the side of the mouse for the ring finger is very grippy and comfortable to use for hours upon hours. I would highly recommend this mouse to anybody who needs both a lot of buttons on their mouse and high-end quality. I purchased this on impulse right at release and was wary since it was so new and there weren't many reviews… but I don't regret my decision. This is the king of high-button-count mice."
Jameson: "The mouse is precise to the point of absurdity. The DPI can get so high that your cursor will rocket across the screen if you blow on it, but turn the speed down a bit and it will be the smoothest cursor you've used, gliding over each pixel. The buttons are tactile but not loud, good for midnight gaming, and the feel of the entire mouse is superior to the Naga."
This mouse garnered a lot of good reviews and most of them recommend this mouse to every MMO gamer out there. If you want to buy one, the Corsair Scimitar RGB Gaming mouse costs $79.99.

Iran and the Taleban
December 5, 2011
Iran warns of a crushing response if US drone aircraft were in Iran's airspace and have shot one down. Recently, NATO made a terrible mistake and attacked Pakistan forces in the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It seems logical that the US may need to withdraw from its Afghan adventure, and this could leave Afghanistan to the Taleban and for Iran to engage as the local Shi'ite power. The US can probably repair the damage done in Pakistan with reparations of some sort which probably would be protecting Pakistan from its neighbours.
Iran Demonstrations
June 17, 2009
Live Feed (or video of a live feed) from the Iran Election demostrations. Also see: Article: The Dictator
The above article contains predictions. It was published 12 hours before this appeared (on my screen at least): UPDATE NY Times
The demonstrations in Iran show the Iranian people have an emerging confidence. The corrupt establishment has shaken the illusion that they have the interests of the people at stake.
Fair democratic election must be internally perceived as such, and when it isn't – economic health becomes impossible.
Regardless of what the West thinks could or should happen – Iran's government is now perceived by it's own people as cheating and lying and committing acts of sinful cowardice.
It has damaged the theocratic authenticity it relies upon.
November 1, 2007
If Hezbollah does imitate the Sunni radical militia (al Qaeda) and infiltrate socially rather than militarily could evolve as a likely strategy against the USA as they are being convinced by Dick Cheney to expect Iran to be attacked. The children of soldiers are becoming terrorists. It is an ancient story with new nomenclature.
No love lost
September 26, 2007Perhaps President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a little taken aback to be diminished by a university chancellor, no matter how qualified. It was an extraordinary snub on the face of it, a foreign President visits and instead of finding a path to resolve differences it appears that the Iranian President was reduced, by diplomatic snub. It was not however delivered by the US Government (well, not visibly). It is the aggressive stance made by Lee Bollinger, Chancellor of the University of Columbia (within the diplomatic 25 mile circle) the man who invited President Ahmadinejad to speak, and opened by calling him no less than an uneducated and dangerous tin pot leader, or words to that effect. In the eyes of the Iranian people, this is seen as bullying – and that meme should extend into accepting that it was the very intention of it, that the snub not be delivered by anyone of rank like the President, but it be delivered by a man of letters on the day before the UN address by both Presidents Ahmadinejad and Bush. Constitutional freedom of speech is not a blood-right of Americans but the Constitution of the land. Think of it like this, the Forefathers believed it was necessary to not so much limit speech but to ensure the opportunity to listen to it. The Constitutional Amendments also ensure the right to bear arms, and thus the implicit acceptance that a certain percentage (of the American people) will be shot as a result. The Second Amendment is not the specific cause of shootings but guns are there to be fired as a result of it. They may of course be fired by American citizens or foreigners. The risks of free speech should not be realistically limited to American mouthed ideas only. That is small minded. The staged event appears to be a precursor to further attacks by the Bush administration upon American Freedom and Democracy. The President of Iran may have his own political agenda, that is accepted as fact. But exactly what elements of life in Iran are so oppressive as to warrant war? Iran is quite a different kettle of fish than either Iraq or Afghanistan. How much intelligence is there that genuinely supports the theory that Iran is developing nuclear weapons? America can not be pulled into war just because die-hard Bush fans think it should. Has the U.S tabled significant evidence at the UN of the need to upset Iran again, or does it plan to do more extending the "war on terror" to include Iran with ground forces facing military engagement with the US or worse, something much worse. And if President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could consider this – if the West believes Iran is developing the potential for carrying out your words that Israel would be knocked off the map – it may eventually form a coalition to fight Iran, and that would be stupid and tragic. Nobody objects to you having enough power for your people, but why make an example and consider other options than oil or coal or nuclear – for the sake of your people. Nuclear energy has many hidden costs. Solar Energy is an investment and the wind is free.
Invading Iran
February 5, 2007
Al Jazeera English – Americas reports an ex-US general warning against the US launching an attack on Iran. The consequences for security in the region were severe, the retired army lieutenant general Robert Gard said. He is a former military assistant to US defense secretary, Robert McNamara, and he urged the US government to "engage immediately in direct talks with the government of Iran without preconditions."

The best explorers of Spain!
Project for Individuates and Societies.
On the year of 1600, a conversation is going on with Felipe III of Spain and
a strange explorer...
"I, Sir Li, had travel from Italy to serve your majesty, it would be a great honor to be the man serving you. I have spent many long days making a grand plan. For I would help to find the riches you needed. Of course, I have known that Christopher Columbus have made a journey to the West and found new undiscovered land for us, but I could do much better. I would help increase your wealth and power by many folds. I have known that gold is needed majorly here and I intend to try and find as much as I can. I would also claim and name territory after you, almighty King Felipe III. Our competitions, France, is already on the move and they have also wanted to claim the territories and its goods that lay under the ground. What I can promise to bring back is many goods including gold, silk, and spices from the natives that inhabited the lands. Many obstacles lie in the dark sea but I have many ways to avoid them. If the other explorers cross my path, we would make peace, however, we would be prepare with cannons pointed at them to engage in a battle any time, I would not want a war. If a sea monster is nearby, I would just go around it. Once I reached I needed funds to do this however, I needed two ships, each with a crew of 75 men and a month supplies along with the best navigation tools.

TUTS' Sound of Music: The Nuns Will Be Singing But Thank God They Don't Have to Tap Dance
She can climb ev'ry mountain, but she can't tap-dance
Photo by Joan Marcus
It's been years since Roy Hamlin, associate artistic director at Theatre Under the Stars, has had anything to do with The Sound of Music -- not since his high school days when he was playing Uncle Max.
Now he gets to direct it professionally, to do the one-more-time thing at Hobby Center this December. And, he insists, that people who think there's nothing there for them but chestnuts with hair growing on them, should think again.
"There's some talk about our season being rather tame this year. I'd say we have comfort-food offerings with a gourmet touch. It's nice for families to do something together. Seeing it live," Hamlin told us on his way to take in a performance of Bat Boy at Texas State.
"Actually we're doing some things with the production in the Hobby Center that we've never tried before," he said before declining to be particularly specific. "I don't want to give out all the surprises."

Of course, people brought up on the 1965 movie starring Julie Andrews will be alarmed/intrigued by the differences between the stage and movie version.
Although the modern-day stage version was able to incorporate some of the songs from the movie -- "I Have Confidence" and the duet "Something Good" -- it stays true to/is stuck with the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein libretto.
Which means some of the songs will be sung in a different order than they appeared in the movie and by different characters, Hamlin said. And the story line isn't an exact match.
Besides the fact that with all those von Trapp kids, it gives TUTS a chance to show off some of its students in its Humphreys School of Musical Theatre, Hamlin says it's good that this really isn't a dancing show.
"This is one of the lovely pieces where there's a lot of singing but it's not a huge dance musical. The tradition of music theater back in the day, in the golden age, is that you had a singing chorus and a dancing chorus and then the actors. But the economies changed, the concept of the shows changed and we got what was known as a triple threat -- somebody who could do all three things, sing dance and act.
"Those people are kind of few and far between and there's not a lot of ongoing work in Houston for such artists. If they're very good at it they tend to move on," he said.
"But this show, there's a whole group of nuns and they're primarily there to sing. There's so many wonderful singing character actresses in Houston that finally I can look at them and not have to worry about whether they can tap dance."
The Sound of Music is at the Hobby Center December 8-20. Ticket information is available by phone at 713-558-8887 or at the TUTS Box Office, 800 Bagby at Walker or online at TUTS.com and at thehobbycenter.org.

I haven't always loved it here, but one thing I've been able to appreciate for a long time now is how great the scenery is here in Washington. The state has everything: water (lakes/ocean/rivers/beaches), mountains, desert, forests, and even a rain forest, though I've never been there. And I like it all. I've done my fair share of showing off the place, and I'm not the only one. misslisa206 has done some of her own blogs about hiking around where she lives.
I love that within a few miles of my house, I can find both of these:
Both of those were taken last Saturday. I went to Point Defiance, which is my favorite place around here, and got that shot of the sun and water. It was even brighter in person, lol. I like the semicircle up top. And then the shot of Mt. Rainier is from a park near my house. If it weren't for a couple of trees, I'd actually have a similar view of it from my very own window.
If you love scenery or are an outdoors person, I definitely recommend visiting Washington at some point.
