My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for FixNation, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I got a rescue kitty who turned out to be older than her size... my family and I feel in love with her and decided to keep this last one of the litter (the others were placed), but she quickly started to show indicators she was going into heat. With limited monies, we didn't know where to go and what to do. The animal shelter directed us to FixNation in Burbank -- what a blessing! They took really good care of her and the stitches from her spay were the best I've ever seen -- I've had foster kittens I've had to take elsewhere and let me tell you, never again!!!! Our kitten has the smallest, cleanest incision mark ever! And she is healing well -- unlike the last litter (they had so many complications from the wound bleeding to infection). I'll bring all the fosters here! Thank you! The entire experience was great -- everyone was super friendly too.

"IT has happened, I don't blame people or say negative things, I keep my mouth shut and work it out. And that's it."
Francois Hougaard is talking about the passing of his ex-girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the subject of the world's most famous murder trial.
But he is also revealing something of himself; a drive and determination to keep ploughing forward despite the most arduous year of his life.
There has been some unsettling animosity towards Hougaard this season in South Africa despite his personal loss, and his ongoing battle to overcome a career-threatening ankle injury which forced him out for most of last year and required him to learn how to walk again.
As if that wasn't enough?
He had to deal with the fallout of being wrongly accused of sending Ms Steenkamp a text message on the night of her death, allegedly at the hands of Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, now on trial in Pretoria.
And upon return to the field for the Bulls this season Hougaard has been lampooned for fluctuating form.
Internet forums have included some vicious comments towards the 26-year-old winger/halfback while a scathing newspaper article a few weeks ago suggested the Bulls should cut Hougaard adrift because he "has gone missing" and is a "pale shadow of the firecracker of the turn of the decade".
Few could have handled this pressure-cooker atmosphere with such poise, but Hougaard - on his day one of rugby's most dangerous players - is resolute.
Tragedy, injury, and savagery only serve to strengthen his will.
"Losing a friend in general is tough, the thing that makes it so bad is that it was unexpected, no one knew it was going to happen," Hougaard says.
"It's never nice to lose someone close to you, unfortunately life goes on and we have to make peace with it, and move on.
"I've got a strong mind, I work things out in my head, you have to realise you can't change anything about it.
"It's the same with people who lose their loved ones in tragic car accidents or heart attacks, you can't control how these things happen."
Which is why Hougaard has been able to reach this conclusion: "I think rugby is 80 per cent mental.
"You've got so much pressure on you to perform alone, and then there are things you can't control like injuries and things in your personal life.
"It's hard, I never judge people. You never know what battles people fight.
"You have to be strong in your head when you want to get to the top.
"I've played OK, but I would like to get back to the form that I was.
"I'm working hard to get back there, I just must be strong in my head and shut all these things out that can cause my game to come down and mentally take over me.
"People don't know your situation with injuries and how much it takes out of you.
"People expect you to play two months after an operation, and expect that you should be in top form again.
"My career would have been over if I lost that ligament or tendon.
"I'm getting more speed and agility back, I'm working hard to get back to where I was, hopefully."
Where he was, in 2010 and 2011, was among the finest players in the game, playing exceptionally at halfback and wing at international level with the Springboks.
"Then this injury came along two or three seasons ago when I split my [ankle] tendon in half, it kept on slipping out and I had pain in every session," Hougaard says. "I had to keep injecting my ankle every game.
"At the end I could only train one session a week, that was why my game went down like that.
"That is why I say it's quite mental, you have to play with an injury and that's stuff people don't know, they just expect you to play well the whole time.
"It was much better that I made the decision to have the operation, because now I have got full function in my ankle again and it feels like it's getting there.
"When I still played wing in 2010 and 2011, I played well in those seasons.
"Then as soon as [Springbok champion halfback] Fourie [du Preez] went, everyone had the idea and knew that I would take over from him at halfback, and then expected me to be the best scrumhalf in the world.
"As soon as you have an average game, everyone is quick to criticise and say 'You suck, you shouldn't be playing rugby'.
"Even though you try to cut those things out, you still hear it, and sometimes it's not nice."
Hougaard is on the wing for Saturday night's clash with the Waratahs in Sydney.
He has scored four tries in his past four games against NSW.
But the mid-table Bulls are under-fire, and so is Hougaard, leaving them just one response.
"We must dig deep and take responsibility," Hougaard says, "and just go out there and do it."

Support the Department
Our goal is to help you identify the areas within the department which have the most meaning and importance to you. There are many philanthropic opportunities to support each of our three missions and we encourage you to explore our website to learn more about how your gift will help make a difference in the work we are doing.
Gifts may be made in several forms, including:
- Cash: Cash gifts provide immediate benefits to the institution. The actual cost to the donor may be reduced by tax savings achieved through a charitable contribution deduction.
- Pledges: the department accepts pledges payable over multiple years. Pledges may be paid in equal or varying amounts, according to the donor's wishes or convenience.
- Appreciated Marketable Securities: Giving appreciated securities (stocks) may have special tax advantages. Within limitations, the donor may avoid the capital gains tax and be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full market value of such securities at the time of the gift. Contributions in excess of the limitations may be eligible for carryover to future tax years.
- Real Estate and Personal Property: Gifts of real estate and other personal property generally have the advantages described for gifts of securities, provided the property is a long-term capital asset in the hands of the donor. The donor's qualified appraiser must determine fair market value for income tax purposes.
- Bequests: We are especially grateful to the many generous friends who have made gifts through their wills or estate plans.
- Planned Gifts: Planned giving allows the donor to make a gift and enjoy the benefits of federal and state tax provisions. This favorable tax treatment may offer you ways to make more significant gifts than you might have otherwise thought possible. With careful planning, it is possible to reduce or eliminate income taxes, capital gain taxes, and other "transfer" taxes such as estate taxes, gift taxes, and generation-skipping taxes. Through some gift options, you can enjoy these tax savings while converting appreciated assets into an income for yourself or others.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your interest in making a donation to the department or a clinical subspecialty division, please get in touch with Dr. Robert Salata at (216) 844-3293.

Tennis: Raiders avenge loss
One year ago, the Hastings boys tennis team lost to Cretin-Derham Hall in a Suburban East Conference match, 1-6.
"We thought that was our worst match last year," Hastings coach Mick Willette said.
This year, things were much different. This year, Hastings won 5-2.
"We didn't want to have a repeat of last year," Willette said.
Hastings swept the doubles spots and got two wins from singles players for the big win.
Adam Ernst and Josh Houska teamed up at first doubles to cruise to a tidy 6-2, 6-1 win.
Jake Langeslay and Brett Peterson cruised at second doubles, 6-0, 6-3.
At third doubles, it was Elliot Siebenaler and Chase Kasel who won a long match, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.
Wins at singles were earned by Ben Carlson and Matt Lund.
Carlson won at third singles, 6-1, 6-0.
Lund won at fourth singles, 7-5, 6-3.
In the top two singles spots, Mike Lund and Non Wiwatwongthorn lost.
Lund fell 7-5, 2-6, 2-6.
Wiwatwongthorn lost 3-6, 6-2, 1-6.
Vs Red Wing
Hastings won a close match in Red Wing, 4-3.
"It was a nailbiter," Willette said. "It was a pretty exciting match. It looked like it really could go either way."
Wiwatwongthorn won at second singles, 6-1, 6-0 and Carlson won at third singles, 6-0, 6-2.
In doubles, wins were earned by the team of Ernst and Houska, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1; and the team of Peterson and Langeslay, 7-5, 7-5.
Peterson and Langeslay trailed 1-5 in the second set before storming back to win the next six games.
"They played some great tennis and got the other team frustrated," Willette said. "We were happy to sneak out of Red Wing with a win."
Hastings has a 5-1 record on the season.
In St. Cloud
Hastings competed in the Mac Doane Invitational Saturday in St. Cloud. The tournament has a unique format. There are seven teams, and all the matches are eight-game pro sets. Basically, the first player to win eight games wins the match.
The Raiders finished third out of seven teams.
"The No. 1 goal for the guys was to come together as a team and have some fun," Willette said. "We accomplished that goal. The next goal was to play some good tennis Saturday. For the most part, we played pretty well."
Carlson won five of his six matches at third singles.
Houska and Ernst won five of their matches, too.
At third doubles, Willette rotated the lineup some. The combinations all worked, as Lars Schauerhammer, Carpenter and Elliot Siebenaler teamed up to go 5-1.

Problem creating KDE project with KDevelop 2.0.1
I used the wizard to create a plain old KDE app, but when the wizard finished, it told me that I had no makefile. So I ran configure as the instructions told me, and then tried to run make, but still it said there was no makefile. How do I generate one?
Doesn't anyone use kdevelop?
Look at the configure output. There you find some error messages.
There is no configure output, as there is no configure file. Well there is, but it's empty. It seems that autoconf creates an empty configure file. I think this version of autoconf doesn't work with kdevelop, or vice versa.
I found the problem in the Suse Database. They say, the autoconf dosn't match to the kdevelop 2.0.1 version.
This link goes to the german problemdescription.
At least you find there a link to the autoconf-rpm.
Good Luck

Finally, A Game That Lets Me Play As A Finger
And not just any finger. A finger wearing a top hat.
And not just any finger. A finger wearing a top hat.
An octopus cooking for you? Must mean that there's new DLC coming for Octodad: Dadliest Catch. Coming later this summer, the Shorts add-on (because, y'know, it's hot) will be free and features new levels where you'll need to pretend that an eight-armed underwater creature is a just a normal ol' human father.
I don't always enjoy motion controls, but if there's one game that I feel shouldn't be without them, it's the one where you control a wildly flailing octopus masquerading as a human husband and father of two.
The thing about humor, Phil Tibitoski told me, is its ability to mask hidden truths—sometimes, these are things that are actually kind of disquieting. This somber remark seems strange coming from the president at Young Horses, the folk behind Octodad: Dadliest Catch—an amusing game about the difficulty that comes…

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for palladium tourmaline vintage-inspired engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. The gem of creativity and innovation, tourmaline has the power to inspire artistic expression. Available in a rich palette, there is a tourmaline for every jewelry design. Gemvara offers tourmaline in a warm pink and a lush green. Tourmaline is an October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. Palladium is the newest precious metal. A platinum group metal, palladium is rare, lustrous, and naturally white. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Bijoux & Bijoux, David West, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Vintage jewelry is beautiful but delicate, since even precious metals wear away over the years. Get the look and craftsmanship that you love with Gemvara's vintage-inspired styles that suit a modern lifestyle. Clean palladium tourmaline vintage-inspired engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality palladium tourmaline vintage-inspired engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It might be time to break loose and have some fun. If you've been feeling sorry for yourself, here's your chance to shake those blues.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Reviewing your recent accomplishments puts you in a much better frame of mind. It's far easier to make a fresh start when you're feeling self-confident.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sometimes you just have to accept a fact, whether you like it or not. Besides, it is likely that you are clinging onto something that was never worth your trouble in the first place.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The time is right for dreaming, but put off any major communications with others until later. Someone might need a little distance from you.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A fantastic opportunity arises, and you say that it's just what you've been waiting for, so why are you hesitating? Don't let your fears be your own worst enemy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A historical event reminds you that time waits for nothing and no one. So why are you wasting precious minutes moping about what you can't have?
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Sometimes it's easiest to be most critical of those you love deeply. Try to put your concerns aside and give your loved ones the support that they require.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Use your imagination to make a romantic interlude extraordinarily memorable. Single Scorpios attract the attentions of a sultry stranger.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you think someone is wonderful, why are you not showing it? There is no need to take out your frustrations on someone special.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Everyone stands to learn a lot from each other at this time, so try to improve the structure of your team. You could learn an important business lesson.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Sometimes it really is true that a single deed is worth many, many words. Make sure that you're not just full of hot air by backing up talk with action.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Allow someone special to romance you, and you could be in for a magical adventure. Remember that true love will not take you away from your personal destiny.
YOU BORN TODAY: Fashionable and forward-thinking, you can always be found on the cutting edge. Your creative flair and eye for style mean that you impress many a mover and shaker. You always seem to have the latest and greatest new fashions or gadgets. However, superficiality and concern with what others think of you might figure into your life a little too much sometimes.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14: Barrister Nadia Hamza will take on sitting MP Dennis Lister in the PLP safe seat of Sandys North Central.
Ms Hamza said she had regarded herself as "apolitical" until recently.
She added: "However, at this point in Bermuda's history, I feel I can no longer stand on the sidelines. I cannot, in good conscience, stand by and do nothing — doing nothing is not an option when Bermuda is in such real crisis on every level."
Ms Hamza was speaking at the OBA announced her candidacy at the party's Hamilton headquarters on Wednesday.
She said she had a particular interest in seniors' issues and called for more financial support for homes for the elderly.
Ms Hamza added: "The least we can do for our seniors is to accord them the respect and dignity they merit and the care they deserve.

Different Universe: Lunatic Right-Wingers Decide Black Muslim King Obama Is Irreprehensible, Which Coincidentally Is Kinda How We Feel About Them
For some reason - the spectacle of a black man in authority speaking on national teevee, maybe? - the State of the Union always brings out the crazy. Thus, last night we had an uncivil Texas Rep. Steve Stockman, who gives out Obama Barf Bags for campaign contributions and recently disappeared for a few weeks, walking out mid-speech; a thug-like New York Rep. Michael Grimm, who reportedly has a history of doing this sort of thing, threatening to throw a reporter "off this fucking balcony" for daring to ask a question he didn't like; and an incoherent Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp, after viciously tweeting about King Obama, appearing on Rachel Maddow in a jaw-dropping exchange in which he charged Obama "ran against the military by bringing them home" and also caused income inequality and anyway executive orders are "lawless" and Hillary! and Benghazi! and more Benghazi! and besides Rachel is just a "cheerleader" - prompting from her a perfect, memorable, eyebrow-raising response that almost made up for all the rest of it, but not quite. More on the Republican clown car, and the notion we're down to two branches of government.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov

Hi — I would like to know if there is something I can alter so that blog images display using their full height. Right now if I post an image to the slideshow, it centers the images within the 340 height. Ideally, I would like the entire image to display.April 13, 2013 at 2:08 pm #113902
Hi nicklynn
You'll need to use a plugin like: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/ to change the thumbnail size that gets generated for the blog images. Then use the same plugin to regenerate the thumbnails base on your new size.
DevinApril 16, 2013 at 8:26 pm #113903
Hi Devin,
Thanks for the recommendation. Ideally, I would simply let each blog image determine its own depth (I am happy to work with the 930 width). I may have misread, but my take on the plugin is that it lets me determine a different size for thumbnails, but that is also a fixed size, not a flexible size. Do you know if I can I get flexibly-sized thumbnails using this plugin approach?
NickApril 18, 2013 at 6:35 am #113904
Hi Nick,
The plugin, has 2 settings, crop (which is a hard crop) and no crop, whereby you can set width or height, and put the other dimension at 9999 so that the width for example would be at 930, while the height at 9999. This way it will scale down your image proportionally to 930 and leave the height of your image whatever its supposed to scale down to proportionally without any cropping..
The trick however, is to upload an image larger than the size you set because if you upload an image with a width 800 and a height of 300 while you have a 930 width and 9999 height as constraint. the result will be blurry and foul. Also you need to remember that changing these settings do not magically re-size images physically present on your server, but the new constraints are applied to future uploads.
You can use the regenerate functionality that is part of the same plugin, but i prefer to simply delete the old images, and re-upload them. Also, another important thing is to make sure that when you are uploading your image you select FULL SIZE from the list of radio buttons available when you initially save it, even though a different option may look more attractive to you.
All image sizes are generated from your initial upload, so if you chose to save it in some other , smaller size , then all the large image sizes generated from that image will be generated using not the FULL SIZE but whatever you chose during the upload.

Library of the Year 2006
The Nordic Africa Institute library was named the Library of the Year on 21 September 2006 at the Book and Library Fair in Gothenburg.
Every year since 1986 the national trade union, DIK, has bestowed the distinction of Library of the Year on a Swedish library. In 2006 the Nordic Africa Institute library was named Library of the Year.
The jury's motivation:
"The Nordic Africa Institute's library in Uppsala has skilfully and systematically built up a unique collection on contemporary Africa. Nordic scholarship holders, international researchers and Uppsala residents can bear witness to an abundant library, which takes pains to provide a first-class service. With the mandates assigned to the Nordic countries, the library has broadened its horizons and made literature and study material available globally, as well as to local schools and an interested public."
Read more on DIK's website www.dik.se (In Swedish).
If you have any inquiries about the year as the Swedish Library of the Year, please contact the library: email@example.com

The 28 year-old Spaniard insisted that he believed in 'zero tolerance' over doping, yet he bases his case on a claim that the traces of clenbuterol found in his system had come from eating a contaminated steak.
Bjarne Riis, the manager of Contador's Saxo Bank-Sungard team, then raised eyebrows by suggesting that it was the system that had let everyone down and that Contador was a victim. "We don't see why Alberto should be punished or suspended from racing when he is clean," said Riis, a man who admitted to doping himself years after winning the 1996 tour.
"We don't think it's fair which is why Alberto is here."
The 98th Tour de France gets under way tomorrow in the Vendée region of western France with a 119-mile stage starting across a causeway at Passage du Gois. However, the Saxo Bank hierarchy were fighting a losing battle to persuade many that Contador is entitled to race, although he is legally clear to do so. Contador's positive was revealed a couple of months after the event and he faced a possible two-year ban.
He was provisionally suspended by his national federation, only for them to lift that suspension early in the year. The international cycling union (UCI) and the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed against that stance and the matter was referred to CAS. The case was due to be heard in June but has been deferred. So Contador rides in the knowledge that if things go badly he could lose last year's title as well as this year's were he to win. It is a messy state of affairs, one that has already tarnished what ought to be a classic tour.
"If they can take victory after I maybe [win] the Tour de France, it's completely ridiculous," Contador told a packed press conference in Les Herbiers, near to where the opening stage finishes at Mont des Alouettes. "From the beginning of this season, I am the most tested rider and I'm winning almost every race. It'll be the same in the tour. But I'm confident in the resolution [of the hearing] after the Tour."
Contador was booed by spectators at the official presentation of teams.
Riis, meanwhile, appealed for understanding. "Alberto has all the rights to ride," he said of the man who will start as favourite ahead of the rider he has beaten into second place for the past two years, Andy
Schleck of Luxembourg. "If you don't agree with this solution, then you should question the system, not us, for we're following the rules. We try to do things that are correct and fair."
The UCI introduced a 'no syringe' policy in March. Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins, welcomes the initiative although he points out that it needs to be enforced.
"It's all very well banning something but it would be great on Tour if they actually started raiding teams," said Wiggins, who revealed that one-time Garmin team-mate, David Millar, had emailed him to apologise for caustic remarks about Wiggins reported this week.
"A year ago that would have really upset me and I'd have got flustered. But so much has changed since last year."
But not the name of the winner.

SUTTER CREEK Bret Harte High School was in control most of the way, the Amador had the upper hand when it counted and came away with a 56-53 overtime victory over the Bullfrogs in a Mother Lode League girls' basketball game last night.
The Bullfrogs (15-9, 6-1) fell into a first-place tie with Calaveras (16-7, 6-1) with their first loss to Amador (13-10, 4-3) in anyone's memory.
"They were happy," Bret Harte coach Mike Lewis said. "I can't remember the last time they beat us."
Ricki Murphy did most of the damage for Amador, which avenged a 65-56 overtime loss to Bret Harte on Jan. 24 in Angels Camp. She scored 11 of Amador's 21 fourth-quarter points shooting 7-for-8 from the free-throw line and six of its 10 overtime points. She finished with a game-high 22.
Kathleen Avrit scored 11, and Megan Shires and Tianna Johnson 10 apiece for Bret Harte, which led 35-25 entering the fourth quarter. Avrit grabbed an offensive rebound and scored at the regulation buzzer to send the game into overtime.
Avrit nearly forced another overtime when she took a long pass at the 3-point line and fired with .3 seconds left. The ball hit the backboard, stuck to the rim for an instant, and then rolled off.
"The law of averages caught up with us," Lewis said, nothing that Bret Harte had won four MLL cliffhangers before finally dropping one.
The Bullfrogs, their five-game winning streak snapped, will try to bounce back Thursday in a home game against Argonaut of Jackson (2-18, 1-6). On Saturday, the Bullfrogs play host to Highlands of North Highlands in a non-league game at 2 p.m.

Search and rescue: The owner of Café Chloe in East Village is looking for the owner of a photo album left in the bistro at Ninth and G streets."This is a bit unorthodox," began Alison McGrath's Facebook entry — on.fb.me/1ruhWiW –‑ "but we are just a neighborhood place, and we love our guests. We're hoping that one of our regulars might recognize this photo album that was left behind…"
Posted on the site is a picture of the album cover showing a young couple in formal prom attire (he has on a baby blue tux) captioned: "Hollywood Nights Providence High School Prom 2003."
McGrath said the small-sized album, containing about 40 prom and pool party photos, was left a while ago. Since no one returned to claim it, she's trying to find the owner. Based on the background scenery, she thinks the high school may be in Providence, R.I., but there are no names or captions.
"We would love for this beautiful young couple to come in and claim it." McGrath said. "We'll even buy them a glass of Champagne."

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
Grenoble, France, 1968: a sporting and outdoor destination unparalleled around the world. Host city of the Winter Olympics, hub for skiing, alpinism and focal point of a growing scientific industrial center.
Fast-forward in time to present-day Europe, and what is Grenoble? Most Americans imagine a radioactive wasteland, where the dangers of a nuclear-powered society were realized. In fact, that's the response I received from my friends once I told them I'd be spending a winter there. A nuclear winter is what they imagined.
Though fortunately for me, and Europe, similarities between Grenoble and Chernobyl end with the name. Although these foreign destinations were both designed to be powered off nuclear energy, all of Grenoble's uranium is still safely contained within a 10-foot-thick cement boob. (With a big blinking nipple, I might add.)
The growth of the nuclear power plant and its surrounding amenities is probably the most noteworthy thing to happen to Grenoble since the '68 Winter Olympics. One need not attend Mensa meetings to be impressed with the achievements of the European Union and global scientific community here.
Any History, NatGeo or Discovery Channel admirer knows the achievements of the CERN particle collider in Switzerland. But few outside the video-gaming community know of the smaller 50 or so synchrotron particle accelerators; one of the largest is located between the Isere and Drac rivers towards the southern edge of town at the ESRF. (I'm sure I lost the attention of a few brosefs by mentioning particle and acceleration without an aforementioned beer bong, but synchrotrons are responsible for many inventions which make 21st Century living possible. Check it out at esrf.eu).
Outside of the scientific hoopla that only Trekkies and W.O.W.ers seem to appreciate, the region in which Grenoble resides hosts a handful of other activities. To start, Mt. Blanc (Mt. White for we Americans) is located only about 1½ hours to the north. If Mt. Blanc reminds you of a pen and not a place, don't worry, most French don't seem to care either.
In fact, what do the French really care about, especially the Grenoblois? I've pondered this question while waiting on the omnipresent transit system, in waiting rooms at well-staffed hospitals, and studying in low-cost government subsidized universities. "Cheese and wine!" is how the rest of the world would reply – and I have to say, I agree.
While in Grenoble one must try Raclette. It's a heavy, greasy, melted hunk of delicious cheese that can be served in a baguette with ham or in a hearty dish with potatoes, bacon, onions and spices (tartiflette) – kind of French carne asada fries, but not really.
Speaking of greasy, melted deliciousness, some say fondue was founded in these foothills of the French Alps. Who would have known the word "fondue" is French? Its origin is a touchy subject, so while in Grenoble just call it Franc.
But I regress: there's much more to the Alps Du Nord than cheese. Within 1½ hours by bus from Grenoble, one can access nearly 20 ski resorts. Here's a tip. Like everything else in France, skiing is subsidized. Thus, while in Grenoble, do as the Grenoblois: take advantage of the ubiquitous public transportation and take a bus to a local ski resort. I recommend Les Deux Alps. A full day of skiing plus transportation to and from the mountain generally costs around 30 euros. Compare that to a day's trip to Big Bear!
So what not to do in Grenoble? Try your best not to step in dog shit – trust me, watch your step. Don't say I didn't warn you!
I'm afraid I don't know of the CERN particle collider, but truly enjoyed your article and I can relate very well to their love for wine and cheese, especially Raclette. Only one introduction is needed and you're madly longing for it again! Thankfully with modern conveniences, this is a simple and inexpensive proposition. Still would love to visit there someday, even in spite of the boob.

Salvage a bottle of Kul Tiras Wine from the underwater shipwreck northeast of Valiance Keep and bring it to Old Man Colburn in the Valiance Keep inn.
The military was all that old man Colburn had. After he retired, he still clung to it like a lifeline.
He knows the name of every general, unit, brigade, detachment... you name it. He's the man you need.
Problem is, his mind is scarred. He won't talk to anyone unless he gets his Kul Tiras wine. Takes him back to the times he was a marine.
I haven't received a shipment in months. The last merchant ship out of Kul Tiras sunk northeast of here. See if you can salvage a bottle to bring Colburn.
<The old man looks up at you with a blank look on his face.>
Mmmmm... not too bitter... not too dry... it's just like the old days, with the lads at the barracks.
Take a left out of the inn, turn north and head down the ramp, get into the water and look for the shipwreck. At [61.9, 65.7] is a Wine Crate on the seafloor.
The quest name is the English translation of the Latin phrase "in vino veritas".

My Nonprofit Reviews
Richard O.
Review for Homeless Animals Rescue Team Inc, Fx Station, VA, USA
HART is the one organization that always comes through. I am first a "client," although my dogs might argue who the client really is. My first dog was a stray in West Virginia, picked up by a "shelter" that performed Box Euthanasia. My second was from a rural Virginia shelter, was hit by a car; had a $4,500 surgery, came to my home to rest while being healed, stole our hearts, and is the love of our lives. I am second a volunteer for HART, and have been for 12 years. I have seen all that they do for the old throw-away, for the young nuisance, for the abandoned, for the abused, for the disfigured, for the "adoptable," and for the cute youngsters. HART does it with fewer resources than I could imagine. HART is a treasure we should all support!

Commentary: Way-too-early breakdown of BYU football's 2014 schedule
Cowboy Dude SAINT GEORGE, UTFeb. 25, 2014 5:07 p.m.
UtahBruin "...and Utah has theirs in Idaho State, Wazzu, Colorado, Cal, OSU, Utah can't play themselves."
Utah does not play CAL this year (or last), which is why the PAC-12 says again, "Utah has the toughest schedule in the PAC-12."
UtahBruin Saratoga Springs, UTFeb. 25, 2014 11:40 a.m.
BYU is doing the best they can to schedule teams, and it takes a few years to set up. If you look at BYU's future schedules it gets better and tougher. We all scream how the SEC and other conferences play lame non-conf schedules and they scream back saying the SEC is so tough so they have too. Well, in the SEC, I am sure there is not to much worry the weeks they play Kentucky, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt..who will be back on the slide again now that Franklin is gone. So BYU and other non-conf teams do the same thing that Utah and other school do. You have to have a cupcake in their somewhere, and Utah has theirs in Idaho State, Wazzu, Colorado, Cal, OSU, Utah can't play themselves. So it is comical to listen to the banter of who is better. Sorry BYU fans but Utah has proven it on the field the last 4 years, so if you want to say your better, beat them the next time you play. And Utah fans, you have been BYU's little bro for a long time, so deal with it.
UtahBruin Saratoga Springs, UTFeb. 25, 2014 11:33 a.m.
Here is where I get confused with the BYU and Utah banter. Yes, BYU has a terrible schedule this year, and BYU fans will admit it. Utah fans scream of their successful affiliation with the PAC-12. Utah fans need to remember, the PAC-12 got you your game with Michigan in their deal to play the Big-10. Utah fans also need to understand that you too scheduled a Mtn West Conf team to play that you always say that is all BYU is. Then why not just schedule BYU to keep the rivalry. I am guessing it is because it would be a closer game maybe and you most likely get to stay home with anyone else. And, Utah fans, you scheduled Idaho State, no different than BYU scheduling a D2/FBS team. Yet you mock them. And BYU fans, you all scream at Utah fans, and they are part of what could be considered an elite conference. You have to give them props for that. But Utah fans, they only reason BYU wasn't invited is a Sunday play thing and you all know it.
Cosmo's Cousin Holladay, UTFeb. 25, 2014 11:27 a.m.
As usual, the Utes comment on BYU articles to show how jealous they are of the Cougars dominance.
BYU is big brother and is one of five schools in all of America with a national fanbase. The only reason there are any Utah fans at all is because they didn't have good enough grades to get into BYU.
BYU will clean the table and go to a big-time bowl again during this coming year. Once again, the Utes will stay home after the regular season and cry in their Christmas presents.
BYU proves year after year its the better program by making bowl after bowl and having winning season after winning season. Go Cougars!

RE:I Still Can't Say It
Holladay, UT
"Wow, with games vs. Utah State, Nev., Boise State, UNLV, etc. BYU might as well just join the MWC. Enjoy those 9 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday night starts vs. those MWC squads because we all know BYU games "aren't in the afternoons anymore."
Where to start.
1. If we were in the MWC we would have to also play CSU,NMU, and Wyoming and not get paid for it.
2. BYU makes a lot more then several MWC schools combined
3. BYU doesn't have to go to Wyoming anymore.
4. BYU gets more exposure being independent.
5. BYU has no Tuesday or Wednesday games just Thursday, Friday and Saturday games should look at the schedule again.
6. BYU will be on ESPN, and ESPN 2 for several games.
Who am I sir?
Cottonwood Heights, UT
It is 12-25.
We also have a 12-1 UCF Fiesta Bowl champions I'm guessing when you say "As is it is most things, water seeks its own level." this is what you meant.

I am excited about byu football, very excited to see Taysom play. Great schedule to build there identity for coming year.
I love being being cougar fan, I don't need to belittle other team to feel good about myself. I wish I could say same thing about little brother on the hill.
Alex T Murray, UTFeb. 25, 2014 9:35 a.m.
Virginia was a tough loss this last year. Let's hope for a good year!
Thanks for the summary Chris B! I think I am just going to skip the BYU-related articles all together, and just see what your commentary is...it's much more helpful!
Seriously though.....why the need to antagonize. Utah doesn't even play BYU...why do you feel that with every small thing related to BYU needs to be criticized. Keep your comments up on the hill where they belong.
Let's all grow up a little bit guys.
Robyuuki Lewisburg, PAFeb. 25, 2014 9:32 a.m.
I am enjoying watching BYU play teams that they have not played before, or that often. Win or lose it is a new experience and the opportunity is always there for the win.
It is interesting to see the quality of fans with these programs. Some are real sportsmen, while others are Lewd and crewed.
Some programs have real enjoyable fans.....
2013 Ute Seniors SWEEP byU 4-0 Ogden, UTFeb. 25, 2014 9:23 a.m.
Look on the bright side byu fans - even though your schedule is horrible(and that's putting it nicely), at least you don't have a guaranteed loss to big brother Utah in your Super Bowl this year.
Get those quest t shirts ready! Well, at least until you play Virginia.
I Still Can't Say It Holladay, UTFeb. 25, 2014 9:08 a.m.
Wow, with games vs. Utah State, Nev., Boise State, UNLV, etc. BYU might as well just join the MWC.
Enjoy those 9 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday night starts vs. those MWC squads because we all know BYU games "aren't in the afternoons anymore."

Four Mountain West Conference foes
Three American Athletic Conference foes
One USA Conference Foe
One Non FBS foe
and three foes from a major conference with a combined 2013 record of 11 wins and 26 loses.
As is it is most things, water seeks its own level.

The one and only power conference team coming to Provo?
The mighty Virginia cavaliers. The team so bad they only won one game all year against division 1 teams.

Ok I'm softmodding a Wii for my girlfriend and the idea is to get Wiiflow running off a portable HDD. (One I know works with the Wii already because I use it to load games from CFG on my Wii_
I went to the Wiiflow website (WiiFloWiki) to download it and pretty much instantly became confused...
Under "Downloads" there are several links;
Committed Wiiflow Versions | Nightly DropBox
Wiiflow Forwarders (Channels)
Wiiflow Forwarders (For Priiloader)
d2x cIOS v7b1d Wad Pack
d2x cIOS v7b1d Installer.
IOS58 Installer
IOS236 Installer
Which of these do I use? I downloaded the one that the "Committed Wiiflow Versions" lead me to and it downloaded a file called "r417.dol" is this the file I need and if so what do I do with it to get it running Wiiflow from the HDD?
Sorry if I seem noobish I softmodded my Wii using the Bathax exploit when 4.3 came out and haven't done much of anything but put CFG on it and play Metroid and Zelda on it lol. I'm doing this one with Letterbomb (Blockbuster shut down in my area) and Wiiflow.
Also the drive I'm using is an 80gig drive with 2 partitions
Primary(Active) - 50g WBFS for games
Secondary - 30g Fat32 for Wiiflow and VC-Wiiware games

Passage History
Contact Officer & Copyright Details
Airline Equipment (Loan
Guarantee) Bill 1976
Date introduced: 2 November
House: House of Representatives
Portfolio: Transport
Commencement: On the day of Royal Assent
The purpose of this Bill is to seek
authority for the Treasurer to guarantee, on behalf of the
Commonwealth, the repayment of loans raised by Ansett Transport
Industries (Operations) Proprietory Limited to finance the purchase
of its seventh Boeing 727-200 series aircraft and related equipment
and spare parts.
The proposed Government guarantee
will be limited to an amount of US$8 million or its equivalent
(sub-clause 4 (2)). The airline will also be required to satisfy
the Treasurer that the terms and conditions on which the moneys are
borrowed are reasonable (sub-clause 5 (a)), and that various other
conditions have been met (sub-clauses. 5 (b) 5 (e)).
The figure of US$8 million or its
equivalent represents 80% of the total cost of the aircraft and
associated equipment. The aircraft presently under consideration is
planned for delivery in December 1976.
The Bill follows the enactment of
earlier legislation (Loans (Australian National Airlines
Commission) Act 1976) under which the Commonwealth sought approval
to borrow US$9.3 million on behalf of Ansett s competitor, the
Australian National Airlines Commission (TAA) to enable TAA to
purchase its seventh Boeing 727-200 series aircraft and related
equipment and spare parts.

Db Ab/C
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day

A little sacrifice

When you hate to say girl, I told you so but you gotta go
There won't be a fight
'Cause you're love is right
But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

A little sacrifice
You make it for love, you make it for love

Makes me wanna
Wanna be with you [fade]

Deep and intense red colour, with purplish tinges. Tasty aromas of ripe red and purple fruits, together with subtle touches of chocolate and liquorice. In the mouth you can appreciate the fruit, it is fresh, tasty, meaty and lengthy, with pleasant and round tannins that leave a long and pleasing memory.

I have been thinking this through and the character switch idea could have been possible way back in 2004, they just never gave it much thought.
Here's how it would work, with minor adjustments to the original game.
Delete the 'player stats' and replace with 'Character mission log' Here you would find out how many missions have been completed by each character, with their name and a percentage complete next to it.
Instead of playing as just CJ, we have 4 playable characters.
1. Carl Johnson - LS missions
2. Countryman 'Trevor' - country & desert
3. Cesar - San Fierro mission thread
4. Tommy - Las Venturas mission thread
Carl Johnson - you have to complete all of the Los Santos missions before you can play as other characters. One minor change - after the mission The Green Sabre, CJ runs off, instead of being captured.
A 'Trevor Phillips' type - We now play as this country guy and find ourselves in Angel Pine. We now get to complete the countryside missions or switch to the other character in San Fierro.
You can't play as the Las Venturas character yet, it's all about progressing far enough in the storyline, similar to unlocking new parts of the map. Upon taking Truth to San Fierro, we can then go onto finding Toreno and completing the desert missions, or switch to -
Cesar Vialpando - When the 'Trevor' character arrives in San Fierro, Cesar thanks him for bringing Truth. If you have already completed the SF mission thread, this meeting is all that occurs, before continuing onto the Toreno missions. If not, the game prompts if you want to switch to Cesar or keep going as 'Trevor'.
One mission would have to be changed and that is Photo Opportunity. Instead, Cesar is driving and you just meet CJ at Angel Pine. The good thing is after completing a mission the game will prompt if you want to switch, so you can play as Cesar then after completing a few missions then switch to 'Trevor'. Completing the San Fierro missions as Cesar will be necessary for unlocking the Las Venturas character -
Tommy Vercetti - Has a score to settle with the mafia and to help Woozie establish the Four Dragons Casino. All of 'Trevor's missions must be completed for the final mission Home in the Hills, to be unlocked. Tommy is parachuting down and meets CJ at the landing.
So now we have gone full circle and finally play as CJ again for the final missions.
What do you think? With some reworking of the game engine and character scripts the character switching idea could have been possible in a gta game as early as 2004.
Character switching idea for San Andreas

It could work. But instead of adding new characters I would just want "2) Catalina - country & desert" "4) Woozie - Las Venturas missions" or possibly Maccer or Kent.
Posted 26 April 2013 - 04:51 AM
Uh, who is this "Trevor Phillips" person you keep referencing? I assume an irrelevant GTA IV character. Besides, why is V mentioned? Is V a prequel or sequel to San Andreas? Instead of writing fan fiction, why not write your own series that isn't copyrighted? If you insist on the fan fiction, I should point out some serious plot holes: Vercetti doesn't have a score to settle with "the" mafia, he has a score to settle with the Forelli mafia. They betrayed him and got him jailed for 10 years, not the other mafias. Vercetti and the Sindaccos never had any relations at all. In San Andreas, the Forellis appear in Intensive Care, Freefall & Saint Mark's Bistro whereas the Sindaccos appear in You've Had Your Chips & the The Meat Business.

I've been one to bash MDA pretty heavily last year and this year. I was happy to have him coaching from 08-10 especially since his brand of coaching adds value to some players and potentially got us more in return for them. However the flip side to that was us losing good players for next to nothing because of his infamous doghouse. After seeing him last year I was done with him, our total lack of defensive effort and the same old MDA mistakes had me thinking we desperately needed a different approach. Right now I might be willing to change my tune though.
The Knicks overall this season have played great defense. In part this is down to Tyson Chandler who obviously brings a solid defensive presence, the addition of Shumpert who is amongst the league leaders in steals, and you can't write off Mike Woodson's influence.
However we can certainly attribute the amazing play of Jared Jefferies somewhat to Mike since most other coaches in the league would probably not even play JJ. We've also seen an amazing increase in Landry Fields defensive effectiveness, finally putting his physical tools to great use at the defensive end.
Our offense clearly has gone from awful to amazing mostly due to Jeremy Lin but I'm not writing off MDA here either. The kind of offensive plays we are running, the floor spacing, the way Tyson is running the floor and our guards getting up court in seconds is in a big way down to the way Mike likes to play the game and also how he conditions his players. The fact we had enough physical energy to stick it out and eventually pull out a win in MIN has to be partly due to the amazing fitness of our players from running running running in practice every day.
I also like the way our coaching staff is dealing with our players. Tyson Chandler adding a 10-12 footer would be golden. In fact Tyson has been making shots you'd never see him attempting a year ago, hooks and layups from 5-8 ft away. Jeremy Lin in the space of a week went from being a sketchy jump shooter to being able to knock down clutch 3's in big games. Shumperts jump shot has come a long way this season. And I know people have bashed MDA for getting Jorts to shoot 3's but actually making the defense respect him from range makes him an even more deadly player inside where he is already prolific.
Lastly even his game management has come along leaps and bounds during our win streak. He's rotating as best as possible with the personnel we have available (with the exception of Balkman who quite frankly has been an NBA bench warmer his entire life and a couple of good preseason games doesn't change that). Even in the MIN game where we were not playing from a winning position he got Lin plenty of rest at the start of the 3rd and 4th quarters.
He has been taking TO's when we need them and not jumping the gun when we don't. In the MIN game Clyde said it best that "the Knicks don't play well out of time outs" which is why we let them go on that potential final possession.
It's going to be interesting to see how our team fits together and if Mike will keep a 10+ man rotation with the return of Melo and Stat but I actually believe he will.
Someday soon I might even be willing to say MDA is a good coach again!

The Beach at Falesa (Paperback)
Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognised by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In The Art of the Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time. Originally censored by its British publisher, The Beach at Falesa is a scathing critique of colonialism and economic imperialism that bravely takes on many of the 19th Century's strongest taboos: miscegenation, imperialism, and economic exploitation. It does so with a story that features a surprising and beguiling romance between an adventurous British trader and a young island girl, against a background of increasing - and mysterious - hostility. Are the native islanders plotting against the couple, or is it the other white traders? The result is a denouement that is astonishing in its violence. Told in the unadorned voice of the trader, it is a story that deftly combines the form of the exotic adventure yarn with the moral and psychological questing of great fiction.
About the Author
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1850, the son of a prominent engineer famous for building lighthouses. Although expected to continue the family profession, Stevenson's earliest interests were literary. He studied law and was admitted to the bar but never practiced. Suffering from lifelong respiratory illness, he traveled extensively in search of a beneficial climate, living in Switzerland, the United States, and the Polynesian Islands. His first book was a travel book about a French canoe trip, but he soon branched out into poetry and fiction, including his massively popular children's adventures "Kidnapped" and" Treasure Island," as well as more subtle and morally ambiguous work such as his classic science fiction "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." He died in Samoa in 1894.

"[F]irst-rate…astutely selected and attractively packaged…indisputably great works."
—Adam Begley, The New York Observer
"I've always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it's the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher's fine 'Art of the Novella' series."
—The New Yorker
"The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. They're slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed—tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are."
—KQED (NPR San Francisco)
"Some like it short, and if you're one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package."

The investigators hypothesize that the HbA1c shows a rising trend in pre-diabetics and normal population with risk factors of developing type 2 DM. There is no known diabetes model for predicting incident diabetes in an individual which takes into account the rate of change of HbA1c (dx/dt). In such cases, the rate of change of HbA1c may give the physicians lead time needed to implement the Diabetes Prevention Program measures.

Hey all, for my next (and last, about time) assignment, my professor is asking us to try and use/manipulate csv files (specifically to import, manipulate, and finally save). This is the first time in the semester that we're playing around with them, and I'm not a bit clueless as to where to begin. Would it be similar to opening and closing regular files? If I already wrote something like this:
Would this be able to provide a template for using csv files? Or do I need to learn new syntax? Thanks in advance for your troubles!Code:if (argc != 3) //if there are an incorrect number of arguments { cerr << "\n\tIncorrect usage.\n" << "\tCorrect syntax: " << argv[0] << " inputFile outPutFile\n\n"; exit(1); } ifstream fin; ofstream fout; fin.open (argv[1]); //opens input file from command line if (fin.fail()) //if file cannot open { cerr << "Could not open " <<argv[1] << endl; exit(1); } fout.open (argv[2]); if (fout.fail()) //if file cannot open { cerr << "Could not open " <<argv[2] << endl; exit(1); } //main program, using fin and fout fin.close(); fout.close();
