The Manitoba Tories aren't fans of the latest Winnipeg Blue Bombers stadium deal announced Wednesday morning.
Opposition Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen said he wasn't happy about the deal and suggested Manitoba taxpayers shouldn't be either.
"I'm a lifetime Bomber fan, I support the club unconditionally, but it's quite clear to us this is the wrong deal and it's happening for all the wrong reasons," McFadyen said. "It turns the old deal on its head. This is now an almost completely taxpayer-funded deal."
McFadyen said part of the problem is that he has trouble believing Asper will be able to make enough money off the new retail development to repay $75 million to the province and $15 million to the Bombers in six years.
"Donald Trump couldn't turn a profit in six years on a major retail development," McFadyen said. "(Government ministers) are crossing their fingers and hoping that someone down the road will find $90 million plus interest. Their backup plan is to take money from schools under TIF (tax increment financing)."
McFadyen also said he has concerns about the province acting as a financier when cash is tight and it's running deficit budgets, especially considering that just last week Manitoba Hydro agreed to loan $260 million to Pattern Energy to build a wind farm in St. Joseph that the company had a hard time raising private capital for.
"The government of Manitoba is becoming the lender of last resort for every project nobody else wants to put money into. That's not the job of government," McFadyen said.

An Imaginative Experience Paperback
by Mary Wesley
A train screeches to a halt in the middle of the English countryside and, observed by her fascinated fellow travellers, a woman climbs down and rushes to the aid of a sheep, stranded on its back and unable to rise.
Sylvester Weekes watches with interest and noticing, as she turns, that her face is full of tragedy, the woman's lonely image lodges in his mind.
But he is not the only one to speculate over her actions - Maurice Benson, former private detective turned full-time birdwatcher, is convinced that the mysterious woman must be tracked down, in whatever way possible. This is a story rich in character and wit, and powerfully moving in its exploration of the heart's pain and deliverance.
It is a tale of loss, of release, of an acceptance of the cruelties of fate and of the imaginative experience of love.

Review by Cariola
This was a bit of fluff--in the best possible way. I'm at a stressful point at work and needed something fairly light (although it does have a vein of tragedy running through it). It begins when a young woman pulls the emergency brake on a train--something passenger Sylvester Wykes admits that he's always wanted to do but never had the guts. The reason Julia Piper pulled the brake? To help a sheep she had seen from her window who was stuck on its back. When they all disembark at the next station, Sylvester sees her again, mildly curious, but Maurice Benson takes a more stalkerish mode, determined to find out everything he can about her.Wesley has created a group of intriguing characters not only in Julia, Sylvester, and Maurice, but in the secondary characters as well. There's Sylvester's soon-to-be ex-wife, Celia, who ran off with another man, denuding the house in the process; even things that had been handed down from his father were gone, as well as the teakettle he had just purchased to replace the one she had just taken. Rebecca, Sylvester's domineering former secretary, can't help herself from frequently popping in with attempts to take charge. It's great fun to see how the mild-mannered Sylvester gradually learns how to manage her. Much of the story centers around the shop on the corner, run by the agreeable Mr. Patel. Julia befriends his wife, despite her inability to speak English, and becomes close to the Patel's two little boys. Her mother, Clodagh, is the epitome of a horrible mother, for various reaosns preferring her son-in-law to her own daughter. And there's a dog in the mix--a lurcher eventually named Joyful.In some ways, as one reviewer states, this is a pretty typical love story. But it's one with a little surprise around every corner. It has been a long time since I've read a Mary Wesley novel, and this one remionded me of how much I've enjoyed her others.

Earlier this month, more than 400 downtown-dwellers, locals and tourists from across the nation woke up early on a Saturday, unrolled their yoga mats and spent the morning taking part in a class that was held on the flight deck of the USS Midway.
The yoga event – which was free – attracted people from Chula Vista, new residents from L.A. and even out-of-towners from Sweden and New York.
The yoga class was just one offering that has resulted from a new collaboration between Scripps Health and the Downtown San Diego Partnership dubbed "Healthy Living in the City." It's a wellness initiative that encourages people to explore San Diego's downtown and the healthy lifestyle options in the heart of the city.
The year-long initiative launched July 10. While expansion may be in the works in the future, for now, the partnership includes three health-conscious offerings. All the activities are sponsored by Scripps and are free to the public. They include:
• Recipe for health:
This involves offering monthly cooking classes taught by nutritionists from Scripps and Jimbo's at Horton Plaza. The idea is to show locals how to use the city's bounty to create healthful meals that are also pleasing to the palate. Kris Michell, president and CEO of the Downtown San Diego Partnership, said all spots for the first demos held July 10 were gone within a day or two of being available.
• Lunchtime strolls:
These 30-minute guided walks let participants get out and explore downtown neighborhoods. The walks are held twice a month on Fridays, and first-timers will take home a Scripps water bottle.
• Stretch Yourself:
These twice-monthly yoga classes are being held at unique locations throughout downtown and taught by staff from downtown's Yoga One. The first class on the USS Midway drew more than 400 people – far exceeding expectations.
Don Stanziano, corporate vice president of marketing and communications for Scripps, said the program is designed to help people stay healthy while they enjoy urban living and the sights and neighborhoods of downtown.
"One of the great things it's doing is demonstrating how easy it is to adopt a healthy lifestyle," he said. "Adopting a healthy lifestyle isn't as difficult as you think."
Michell said the partnership with Scripps came about this spring as a way to promote healthy living while showcasing the city's downtown. But in essence, she said the seeds of the idea were planted two years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After receiving care and treatment at Scripps, she's cancer-free today.
She said because she was familiar with the Scripps health system and because Stanziano serves on the downtown partnership's board, it seemed natural for the two groups to team up to offer activities that promote healthy living while using downtown as "an outdoor canvas."
"Scripps has a well-known commitment to wellness and health, so they are the perfect organization to partner with on this initiative," she said.
Those who want to learn more about the program and see a list of events, dates and locations can go online to downtownsandiego.org/healthyscripps.
And, based on the program's early success, Stanziano said he hopes other communities follow the city's lead and begin presenting similar offerings.
"I think this is a model for other cities to look at," he said.

Genocide, among the charges facing Ratko Mladic over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia, is the gravest crime in international humanitarian law -- and the most difficult to prove.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has indicted the wartime Bosnian Serb military leader, arrested in Serbia on Wednesday over the massacre of nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb troops in Srebrenica.
He is accused alongside his former Bosnian Serb political boss, Radovan Karadzic who was arrested in Belgrade on July 21, 2008 and is on trial, being held at the tribunal's detention unit in The Hague.
The massacre at Srebrenica, a United Nations enclave and so-called safe area, is the only episode in the 1990s Balkan wars to have been ruled genocide by the ICTY.
It was also judged such by the UN's highest tribunal, the International Court of Justice, in February 2007.
Derived from the Greek word "genos," for race or tribe, and the suffix "cide" from the Latin for "to kill"; genocide is defined by the UN as an "act committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".
The word was coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jew who took refuge in the United States, to describe crimes committed by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.
It became a crime under international law under a 1948 UN convention.
Legal experts stress that the crime is very difficult to prove in court because of the onus on the prosecution to show that an accused had called for a genocide to happen, or approved it.
"It is hard to prove that the accused truly had the specific intent to exterminate a group," legal analyst Cedric Ryngaert told AFP.
"One says of genocide that it is the crime of crimes. Without the intention (on the part of the accused), it becomes a crime against humanity."
The world's first genocide conviction was delivered 50 years after the adoption of the UN convention when the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) sentenced a former mayor, Jean-Paul Akayesu, to life imprisonment in 1998.
The ICTY has handed down one genocide-related conviction so far, finding former Bosnian Serb general Radislav Krstic guilty in April 2004 of aiding and abetting genocide.

Terence Conran | NOWNESS | Concorde 'Flights of Fancy'/
Living| On this day in 1976, the Concorde made its maiden commercial flight on both Air France and British Airways. Air France flew Paris, Dakar and Rio de Janeiro; British Airwars from London to Bahrain.
Anne was privileged to know the sensation of flying through space at twice the speed of sound and heights of 60,000 feet, from which she saw the curvature of our precious Earth.
The carbon footprint of the plane wasn't her concern in those days, when Anne's focus was more about flying into the future than protecting natural resources under assault. Today Anne is more balanced in her vision.
Today's NOWNESS interviews Sir Terence Conran who received the design assignment of refitting the Concorde's interior in 2001, after the tragic crash in Paris in July 2000. In 2003, the 20-strong Concorde fleet was grounded for largely economic reasons. Read on.

Guwahati, July 18: A special aircraft of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will take high-resolution aerial photographs of Assams flood-ravaged districts to speed up the process of assessing the damage and deciding on the quantum of central financial assistance.
An official of the Assam State Remote Applications Centre (ASRAC) said the cameras on board the aircraft had been designed to pick out even submerged roads, metallic and non-metallic pipelines and sub-surface conditions.
A team from the department of space is already in the state, helping Dispur to establish emergency communication links.
Assam is reeling under the most devastating wave of floods in recent years. The surging Brahmaputra and its tributaries have inundated almost all the districts. The Tarun Gogoi government has sought Rs 1,200 crore for relief and rehabilitation operations, but Delhi has provided only Rs 181 crore so far.
Isros involvement is expected to speed up the process of assessing the damage caused by floods. Delhi usually sanctions funds only after making its own assessment of the damage. The process takes several weeks because the survey teams start work only after the waters recede, a source in Dispur said.
The ASRAC official said the photographs provided by Isro would make a huge difference to the process. The two operators on board the aircraft will transfer the photographs directly to us. Within minutes of the photographs being taken, we can pass them on to the chief ministers office.
The flood-monitoring cell is located at the chief ministers office.
At present, the government is getting images from the Canadian Radarsat satellite and daily satellite maps from the ASRAC.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is scheduled to arrive in the state on Tuesday to take stock of the situation. A ministerial team will tour the state after the waters have receded.
A.M. Jha, director of the Ahmedabad-based Disaster Management Synthetic Aperture Radar Space Applications Centre said the cameras on board the Isro aircraft could take photographs even at night and through clouds.
The aircraft is kept at the National Remote Sensing Agency in Hyderabad and reach Guwahati in six hours. The cameras are part of the airborne synthetic aperture radar system, which Isro is using to take photographs of flooded areas of Bihar and Orissa, Jha said.
The flood situation in the state remains grim with the level of the Brahmaputra still rising in Dibrugarh town. Announcing the possibility of a disaster through the public address system, the district administration tonight asked residents of villages along the river to shift to safer places.
Sources said the administration had made arrangements to evacuate patients from the Assam Medical College and Hospital, which will be flooded if the river overtops the embankment.
The embankment and dyke department has deployed workers to repair the dyke at Maijan, which has been breached at many places.
We have requested the army to be on alert and monitor the situation with helicopters, additional deputy commissioner Samsher Singh said.
The army has been alerted in neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh too. Helicopters have been requisitioned to evacuate marooned people in Lohit district, which remained cut-off for the second time following a heavy downpour.

When riding a bicycle, it is always important for cyclists to be visible to other road users. Therefore, investing in a few reliable bike lights is a wise decision of everybody's safety. For serious cyclists who like to ride at any time of the day or during the night, it is even more important to stay visible on the road. Bike lights have come a long way, and there are various models of lights on the market, each having different features and brightness.
Bike lights not only function to help cyclists be more visible on the road, but they are also necessary to help cyclists see the track when they ride during darker hours. Choosing a good bike light is not just about getting the brightest one available, as there are a few other factors one must consider before buying a light. Buyers must first decide the purpose of the light, and how often they plan to use it, besides other things. Since there are many types of bike lights on the market, it is also helpful to know how to search for such product on online shops such as eBay.
Modern Bike Lights
Cyclists used to be able to choose between different bulb types for their bike lights such as standard filament bulbs, halogen bulbs, and LEDs. However, almost all bike lights sold nowadays are LED lights as LEDs have improved greatly over the years and can offer so much more than other bulbs. LEDs are very cheap to make, small, durable, and consume very little energy, thus making them an excellent kind of bulb to use in a bike light. Cyclists can definitely find the right LED bike light for them whether they need a high power torch for night cycling or just a small emergency light.
Components of a Bike Light
Cyclists should know the components of their bike lights especially if they utilise their lights a lot. Knowing the key components in a bike light is also very helpful when cyclists are shopping for a light, as many of the components contribute to the performance and value of such product. Some important components to know are the lamp body, LED, mount, switch, and leads. By knowing these components and their function, consumers can make a wise decision when choosing a light that is within their budget and that suits their needs.
Key Bike Light Components
Functions and Features
The light source in a bike light
Performance varies depending on lenses, bulb groupings, and power output
The lens and reflector unit in a bike light
Influences the depth and spread of the light beam
Lamp body or head unit
Houses the LED bulb, optics unit, and electronic circuit
Its design is important for weight reduction and heat dissipation of the light
Many modern lights use lithium-ion batteries, but some still use AA or AAA ones
Longer rides often require bigger batteries or even spare batteries
Mount or bracket
Holds the light in place on the bike or helmet
Should be able to fit on its intended position without wobbling or falling off
Turns light on or off
Sometimes the power output level can be adjusted
Should be easy to operate while cycling and also with riding gloves on
Cable that connects the battery to the lamp body
Should have secure connectors and joining section
Charges batteries when they are low on energy or depleted
Designs vary from simple chargers to LCD-screened smart chargers
Every component on a bike light is crucial to ensure that it functions well. Therefore, cyclists must always know the type and performance of each component especially if they plan to ride at night. Those who ride at night in urban areas where there are plenty of lights around can opt for a low power bike light, whereas those who do mountain biking may need a few high power lights to illuminate their path. Light optics are important as different optic units provide different kinds of illumination such as a long-range narrow beam and a short-range broad beam. Cyclists should decide what kind of light beam they need and purchase a bike light accordingly. Besides that, cyclists must also try mounting a light on their bike before buying it as some lights, especially big ones may not fit properly.
Types of Bike Lights
There are a few types of lights that consumers can buy to help them when cycling in a low light environment, and each type of light has its own specific use. However, it is not necessary for consumers to buy all the types of bike lights, but decide what kind of light is needed for their regular cycling trips. Types of bike lights include emergency lights, flashers, torches, and dynamo lights.
Type of Bike Light
Small enough to keep in a pocket or bag
Usually has a single LED bulb and a very low output
Ideal for emergencies when there are no other lights
Lights that flash to increase a cyclist's visibility in traffic
Many can also project a steady light beam
Most are rear bike lights
Have a lower power output and are smaller than torches
Torches or head lights
Used to illuminate the track
Come in a wide range of size and power
Head torches are mounted on helmets and are usually smaller than regular torches
Do not need batteries to light up
Some systems can store energy from the dynamo
Some dynamos use USB cables and can even charge a regular battery-operated bike light
Every cyclist needs at least two reliable bike lights especially he or she cycles in the dark. By knowing the different types of bike lights available, it should be easier for consumers to decide on what kind of light they want. However, for those who ride regularly in the dark, it is a good idea to have more than two lights mounted on their bikes. It is also advisable for cyclists to carry a separate emergency light in their bags at all times.
Things to Consider when Buying Bike Lights
It is not possible to just buy the first bike light that one comes across in a bicycle shop. Instead, one should consider a few important factors when shopping for bike lights. The first thing buyers should consider is what they want to use the light for. Some people ride for leisure in their neighbourhood, some ride to and from work, while others like off-road cycling. If one rides in a bright area like a city, it is probably not necessary to get very bright bike torches. When riding in the woods, however, bright lights are a must. Generally, bike lights for urban use have a narrow beam, whereas off-road lights have wide beams.
Another important thing to consider is how regularly one plans to use the bike light. Those who take long rides need a light that can last a long time before needing to be recharged. Therefore, consumers should buy bike lights with enough battery power for their commute. It is also a good idea to get a light with a low-power option so it can last longer. Those who ride regularly can even get lights that have a power gauge display.
Cyclists should also consider their environment and weather when buying a bike light, even more so if they ride daily. Cycling regularly in the rain can shorten the lifespan of a bike light. Of course, a stronger bike light is more expensive than a regular one, so consumers should consider their budget as well.
Buying a Bike Light on eBay
eBay has numerous bike lights of various brands and models, making it a good place to buy a bike light from. To search for a good bike light, you can start on the eBay home page. Just use the search bar on the page and lookup 'bike lights' or other keywords such as 'bike dynamo light'. When browsing through the list of bike lights, make sure you look at the image of the items, their description, as well as price. You can also further refine your search by using the category filter to select the brand, LED numbers, and other features you want on your bike light.
After selecting the light that you want, you are directed to the product page. On this page, you can view all available information regarding your chosen bike light, so make sure you go through all of the given information. To help you decide on your purchase, you can view the seller's feedback score. If you are satisfied with your chosen item, you can go ahead and purchase it.
Having a reliable bike light is essential for every cyclist, especially for those who ride regularly at night. Most bike lights use LED bulbs as they are tiny, cost effective, and consume very little energy while being very bright. When buying a bike light, knowing the features and function of the components is important as each component influences the durability and performance of the bike light. Important components of a bike light are the light mount, lamp body, optics unit, and switch.
Consumers should also know the different types of bike lights available on the market. There are generally four types of bike lights, which are the emergency light, flasher, torch or head light, and dynamo light. When cycling in dark conditions, cyclists should always have at least two lights on their bicycle, and an emergency light in their bag. eBay has many kinds of bike lights for all types of bikes, so cyclists are likely to find a suitable bike light for their needs.

In our application, one of the screens has a completely different layout for portrait and landscape modes. So, we are redrawing the components as per the visual design in 'orientationchange' event handler. However the issue is that sencha framework first redraws the layout upon orientation change. Then the 'orientationchange' evnet is triggered. This gives user a feeling of too many things happening on the screen before it settles down.
My question is - how do we prevent the framework from layout changes when orientation changes?
We are using ST2.

Over 2 million people in this Central American country do not have access to adequate sanitation.
2 million people don't have access to adequate sanitation in Nicaragua.
people in Nicaragua don't have access to safe water.
27% of the population in Nicaragua live below the poverty line.
Known as the "Land of lakes and volcanoes", Nicaragua has abundant sources of freshwater, but little of it is safe to drink or readily accessible.
Years of insufficient public investment following the upheaval and devastation of war and natural disasters, contamination from mining and agricultural activities and extensive cattle ranching causing deforestation and soil erosion, have left many people without safe water. Similarly, a third of the country's population lives without an adequate toilet.
Water-related diseases exact a huge toll on families' health, keeping children out of school and stifling economic growth. The exhausting task of water collection usually falls to women and girls, who have little time left for work or school.
WaterAid's Nicaragua program opened in 2011. We work in the North Atlantic Autonomous region on the Caribbean Coast; a remote, isolated region of mainly indigenous and afro-descendent people with an annual population growth rate of more than 4%, the highest in the country. Almost half of the 6 million strong population has no access to sanitation and extreme poverty is widespread.
We are helping improve and expand water and sanitation services in the region by training local people to install and maintain rope pumps (a simple type of water pump), install eco-toilets (a type of pour-flush latrine), drill manual borehole wells, clean and disinfect existing hand-dug wells, and install rainwater catchment systems.
To identify the communities most in need of assistance, we are helping them in mapping current access to water and sanitation. Our help is focused on establishing water and sanitation facilities in schools as well as households.

Awesome service. Made a call at 7:30 AM, they were on location by 11:00 and had completed repairs by noon. UPDATE: Had Adel, Dan and the team do a total AC replacement: compressor, line set, a-coil. Again, great service, amazingly thorough, excellent work. Would recommend to everyone (and have). Polite and knowledgeable technicians. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Been down this route. Although the registry entries are discrete (8 for Office '97, 9 - 2000 and 10- 2002 etc) you've already found that .dll's get confused. The only safe solution is to have each version on a discrete machine or have caddies with the OS + the Office version. Also the level of facility within the OS should compare with the Office version - 95 with Office '97, Me/2000 with Office 2000 and Xp with 2002. This allows testing on relevant Access Runtime etc. If that's what you're into.

By the way, the Developer's Edition does NOT allow you to "create executables". It enables you to distribute a run-time version of Access with your database, which is the basic JET engine files Access needs to run the database.Andy Briggs

It is almost that time of the semester, and we are sure your student has been talking about it since winter break ― spring break is almost here! As spring break quickly approaches, it is important to talk to your student about safety tips they should keep in mind when planning activities for the break. Review the following tips from the Office of Parents Programs and discuss with your student if they are traveling for the break.
- Discuss what communication with your student will look like during spring break. It is important to let your student have their independence, but it is equally important to have a conversation about expectations for the break. How often will they check in with you to let you know things are ok?
- If your student is traveling by car, the driver should not only have a valid driver's license, current vehicle registration and proof of insurance, but they should also know where to locate these documents in the car.
- No one should drink and drive or ride with someone who has been drinking, and seatbelts should be worn at all times. Students should designate a sober driver at the beginning of the night or take a cab (with friends) to their destination if no one is able to drive.
- With multiple people in the car, students should avoid distracted driving. Drivers should not text or use a cell phone, blast music too loud or eat and drink. While it may seem fun and harmless, this behavior puts everyone in the car at risk.
- If your student is staying in a hotel, advise them to request a room that is not located in an isolated area of the building, nor on the ground floor where there may be easy access from the outside. Furthermore, inform students to keep their information private. When your student is informing their friends of their room number, make sure only they can hear the information and not strangers nearby.
- No matter the destination, there are likely tons of fun activities they can participate in that are alcohol-free. Encourage your student to check out all of the activities that are available at their destination. However, if they do choose to drink, remind them of the legal drinking age. If they are under the age of 21, remind them that their actions can lead to serious legal and financial problems.
- Students should never venture off on their own – it is important to stay with friends in every situation.
- If your student is traveling to a warm destination, make sure they have packed sunscreen, sunglasses and other items to protect them from the sun. No one wants to spend spring break with sunburn!
Encourage your student to relax and have fun on their spring break – hard work during the school year warrants time to relax when possible!

What happens when you only have a little over 20 places to buy legal marijuana in Colorado, but have everyone and their grandma traveling there to buy legal marijuana? It doesn't take an Economics major to figure out that supply won't be able to keep up with demand, especially with a seed-to-sale model like Colorado's. Multiple media reports are suggesting that Colorado marijuana stores are running low on supply, and in one Case (The Clinic) they actually ran out for a day as reported by Marijuana.Com.
Colorado has a very tightly regulated recreational marijuana model which makes it impossible to get non-regulated marijuana into stores. I remember a handful of years ago when Colorado didn't have the 70% grow rule for medical marijuana dispensaries, and dispensaries were running out of supply and supplemented it with marijuana from wherever they could get it. A lot of my friends from Oregon were running a lot of pounds to Colorado during those times. But those days are gone.
Now that demand is clearly outweighing supply, Colorado marijuana stores are rationing their supplies and/or raising prices. The price raising has drawn some criticism, but mainly from veterans inside of Colorado and on the West Coast where marijuana prices are very cheap. I haven't heard anyone buying legal marijuana in Colorado that is from a non-marijuana friendly state complain about prices. To quote my cousin from Idaho, "I'd LOVE to pay those prices for that quality of marijuana. It's a far better deal than we have here in Idaho!"
The shortage of legal marijuana and high prices will be short-lived. More marijuana is being grown to meet the demand, and as more stores open up, the prices will come down with competition. Well, at least in theory. When all 136 stores are open, if people are still coming out in the numbers they have been so far, it might surprise people just how much marijuana people can smoke and/or eat in the form of edibles. Hopefully it will lead to even more retail licenses being issued so that the consumer can get the same price or better at a retail establishment than they can on the black market.

Authorities say a skier was rescued after an avalanche near Lake Tahoe is being treated for minor injuries at a Reno hospital.
KOLO-TV reports a medical helicopter was summoned a little after 9 a.m. Tuesday to the northeast corner of Tamarack Peak for a man injured in the snow slide at the Mt. Rose Ski Area.
Officials say the skier made it to the helicopter and was flown to Renown Medical Center in stable condition.
In an unrelated case, KOLO reports that a person reported missing at the Sugar Bowl ski resort in California was located and a search was called off.
Placer County sheriff's investigators were handling that case.
Ski areas near Lake Tahoe received up to four feet of fresh powder in a storm Monday.

Hi I'm using a sub theme created by cloning Slate - it has regions that I need. Unfortunately one of these regions is not showing the blocks assigned to them. I've tested and tested, and even tried adding the region to node.tpl.php to see if it shows up there. It's listed in the theme.info file - so why is it that node-bottom is not rendering? BTW the block content shows up fine if added to content-bottom or the sidebar.. Suggestions most welcome.
Thank you!

Many New Faces Emerging in Ward Primaries
Wednesday, September 13, 2006
District voters yesterday cast ballots to reshape the D.C. Council, choosing party nominees to replace the council chairman and three members who are retiring or running for higher office.
Of six seats up for election, only two incumbents -- Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) and Phil Mendelson (D-At Large) -- waged campaigns to return for four-year terms to their current positions. Chairman Linda W. Cropp (D), Kathy Patterson (D-Ward 3) and Vincent B. Orange Sr. (D-Ward 5) sought higher offices, and Sharon Ambrose (D-Ward 6) retired.
Democratic voters chose nominees for chairman, an at-large member and four ward representatives. The chairman is the only council member not allowed to have outside employment. The chairman's job pays $142,000 a year, and the part-time council positions pay $92,520.
Council member Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) defeated Patterson for council chairman. Mendelson easily beat lawyer A. Scott Bolden, a former D.C. Democratic Party chairman and one-time president of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce, in the at-large race.
In the other primary races, Graham won in Ward 1; University professor Mary M. Cheh won in Ward 3; Harry "Tommy" Thomas Jr. won the nomination for the Ward 5 seat held by his father for 12 years; and Tommy Wells, a member of the D.C. Board of Education, coasted to a win in Ward 6.
Mendelson said last night that it was clear he was the candidate that "reflects the residents' concerns. I ran a grass-roots campaign. I connected with voters across the city, and it paid off."
The 13-member council will be changed significantly next year. New members will be elected to Wards 3, 5 and 6 in the November general election. If Gray prevails in November, a special election would be held next spring to fill his Ward 7 seat.
With Adrian M. Fenty, who won the Democratic nomination for mayor yesterday, almost certain to win in November, voters also would choose his replacement in Ward 4.
With the city choosing a new mayor this year, the council races gave voters a chance to set even more of a tone for the future. Because the District is overwhelmingly Democratic, yesterday's winners are just about guaranteed election in November. Most will face challenges, however, from Republican, Statehood Green and independent candidates.
One of the most hotly contested races pitted Mendelson, who was elected to the at-large seat in 1998, against Bolden, an affluent K Street lawyer. While strong primary challenges are not unusual for Mendelson, this year's race was different because the council member, who is white, found himself in a one-on-one matchup with Bolden, who is black.
Mendelson narrowly won his last primary election with less than 50 percent of the vote because he was able to stave off a field of black candidates who split the votes. Bolden contributed $66,000 of his own money to his campaign, raising nearly $412,000, compared with Mendelson's $119,000.
In Ward 1, Chad Williams, Graham's chief opponent, attempted to show that Graham favored the residents who live in Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan and U Street -- areas that are home to the ward's heaviest voting blocks. The neighborhoods are also home to many apartment-dwellers impressed by Graham's push for stricter rent-control laws. The strength of Graham's support along the Georgia Avenue business strip was evident when business owners he approached agreed to remove the campaign signs of his opponents.
Patterson's departure drew nine candidates to the Ward 3 race, where education and high-rise development along Wisconsin Avenue NW topped the list of issues. Cheh, a George Washington University law professor, emerged as a front-runner because she had Patterson's support and won several key endorsements.
Name recognition was high for the top two contenders in the crowded 11-way race in Ward 5 to replace Orange. Thomas and Frank Wilds, an advisory neighborhood commissioner with close ties to Orange, are both active in ward politics.
The other candidates, including community activists and former government workers, did not raise nearly as much money as the two front-runners. This was Thomas's second attempt to win the seat. He campaigned four years ago against Orange, who had defeated his father. Harry Thomas Sr. died in 1999.
Wells, endorsed by Ambrose, had no trouble against Curtis L. Etherly Jr. and Leo Pinson in the high-voting precincts on Capitol Hill and Southwest, which have traditionally been strong for Ambrose.
Wells called it "a great day for me in Ward 6. I am surprised and humbled by the margin of victory."

Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.

Therefore, use this drug at evenly spaced intervals.Continue to use this medication for the full time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and pain/redness/swelling at the injection site may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: muscle weakness, mental/mood changes, blood in the urine, change in the amount of urine, extreme drowsiness, signs of low blood sugar (such as nervousness, shakiness, sweating, hunger).Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: persistent headache, neck stiffness, seizures, slow/irregular heartbeat.This medication may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) allergic reactions and other side effects such as a severe peeling skin rash (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome), blood disorders (such as agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia), liver damage, or lung injury. If you notice any of the following, get medical help right away: skin rash/blisters, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), persistent sore throat or fever, paleness, joint pain/aches, persistent cough, trouble breathing, easy bleeding/bruising, yellowing eyes or skin, persistent nausea/vomiting, unusual fatigue, dark urine.This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of resistant bacteria. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped.

What's covered
General attribute management concepts
When hot linking a Module file into another file, the necessary, but not all attributes (layers, line types, complex profiles, etc…) of the source file will be appended to the attributes of the host file. This means that if any element in the hotlink module uses an attribute that is not available in the host file, then ARCHICAD will add the new attribute to the host file.
If an attribute with the same name already exists in the host file, then elements in the hotlink module will use the existing attribute.
If you create a new attribute in the source file, it will be imported into the host file when you first update the hotlink. But the new attribute will be carried over only if there is an element in the source file using that attribute. Note, however, that if you modify an existing attribute in the source file, it will NOT change in the host file when you update the hotlink. To change the existing attribute in the host file you need to use the Attribute Manager and have to overwrite the host file's attribute with the properties of the source file's attribute. This is because ARCHICAD identifies attributes by name and ID only, and not by its properties.
As an exception to attributes, layer combinations and pen sets are not imported with hotlinks. This is because layer combinations are only meaningful in the context of a given layer set, and since not all layers are imported with the hotlink, importing the layer combination is of little practical use. The same thing is true for pen sets: pen sets are combinations of pens with different properties (color, pen weight and description). You can import a pen set only through Attribute Manager. Since you cannot create a new pen (there are 255 of them in each ARCHICAD project), you can only change their properties within a certain pen set. So if you change a property of a pen in the source file, it won't change the same property of the same pen in the host file as described above. To achieve this you need to save a Pen Set in the source file then import in into the host file via Attribute Manager.
Name or ID?
Every attribute (except pens) has a name and an ID. It might happen that both the host and the linked file has an attribute with the same name and/or ID. In this case – as a general rule – the name determines what will happen: If the name of the attribute to be appended already exists in the host file, then the attribute will not be appended to the host file, and elements in the hotlinked module will use the attribute already defined in the host file.
Example: File "A" has a material named "Wood" which has a light pine texture associated with it. You hotlink file "B", which also has a material called "Wood" with a dark oak texture. The hotlinked elements that come from file "B" will have light pine appearance in file "A".
So, when an element "looks different" in the host file and the source file, this is probably the reason.
What's the Deal with IDs?
Assume you have a fill with ID#31 with the name "Tiles" in the host file, and you have a fill with the same ID#31, but with name "Concrete" in the Hotlinked file. In this case, the "Concrete" fill will be appended to the host file's attributes, but since the ID#31 is already taken, it will get a new ID (the next available number in the host file, say #62). The hotlinked elements using that fill will then refer to this attribute (#62, Concrete). This does not matter much as far as display is concerned, elements will look as expected (with the "Concrete" fill).
However, this might be a slight inconvenience when it comes to using the Attribute Manager. Attribute manager has two functions: "Append" and "Overwrite".
- Append will copy over the attribute from one file to the other, and assign an unused ID to the attribute.
- Overwrite will overwrite an attribute of one file with the attribute in the other file that has the same ID.
Example: You have "#31-Tile" in file "A" and "#31-Concrete" in file "B":
- Appending attributes from "B" to "A" will create a new fill: "#62-Concrete"
- Overwriting attributes from "B" to "A" will delete "#31-Tile" and replace it with "#31-Concrete"
It's not hard to see why it quickly becomes an issue if you have the same attribute with different IDs in different files: Maybe different users modified how "Concrete" looks in different files, an you just want to standardize it. But if "Concrete" has a different ID in every file, then it's pretty hard to achieve that using the Attribute Manager. For this reason, it is highly recommended to keep an unified set of attributes for a project consisting of several files. Have a good template, and limit who can modify attributes.
Keeping Attributes consistent across multiple files
If you would like to handle the attributes uniformly over a set of files, you can keep a designated "attributes.PLN file", in which all the attributes are created. This file will not hold any model data. When you need to modify attributes, you would do that in the "attributes.PLN" and then use the Attribute Manager to overwrite the changed attributes in all the other files. This is time consuming, so it is essential that you start off with a good template with most of the attributes pre-defined before you even start the project.
Unifying attributes of a file set
What if you already have a set of files with different sets of attributes? This is a possible way to unify/standardize attributes:
- Create the "attributes.PLN" file with using the attribute set of one of the files (File/New/"Use settings of latest project…")
- Using the Attribute Manager, append all of the attributes from all of the other projects to the "attributes.PLN". Now you have a file that has all the attributes you will ever need
- Using the Attribute manager overwrite the attributes of all the files from the "attributes.PLN"
- Hotlink the "attributes.PLN" file into all the other files, and from this point on, manage all the attributes in this file
Please note that a new attribute will only be added to the host file's attribute set if there is an element in the source file ("attributes.PLN") associated with the new attribute. If you don't want elements of "attributes.PLN" appear in the host file, you don't have to hotlink it in the host file (step 4). You can always keep attributes up-to-date in "attributes.PLN" and follow up with modifications in all the other files of the file set using the Attribute Manager in these files. Please also note one more fact that was mentioned above in this article: "if you modify an existing attribute in the source file, it will NOT change in the host file when you update the hotlink. To change the existing attribute in the host file you need to use the Attribute Manager and have to overwrite the host file's attribute with the properties of the source file's attribute. This is because ARCHICAD identifies attributes by name and ID only, and not by its properties.".
Layers and Layer Combination special tweaks
ARCHICAD has a hidden setting to alter the way layers and layer combinations behave in Hotlinks. Changing the default setting will cause that all layers (not just the used ones) and all layer combinations from the linked file will be appended to the host file. This way, layer combinations of the source file are also available in the host file.
- Think twice before you turn this feature on. In most cases, this just creates an unnecessarily long list of mostly unused layers. It's a better idea to keep the number of layers as low as possible.
Setting on Windows:
Find registry key HotlinkLayerCombinationEnabled
- Value: 0 (default) – only used layers areimported, layer combinations are not imported
- Value:1 – all layers and layer combinations are imported from the source file
Setting on Mac:
Open file com.graphisoft.AC [version] INT v1.plist from User\Library\Preferences with free application Pref Setter and find key HotlinkLayerCombinationEnabled
- Value: FALSE (default) – only used layers areimported, layer combinations are not imported
- Value: TRUE – all layers and layer combinations are imported from the source file

To survive the Gran Fondo New York it needs more than just a peanut butter jelly bagel. You need the right tactics, preparation and skills to conquer a race in the world's most exciting city. We spoke with Nelson Vails, the first Afro-American to ever win an olympic silver medal in the individual track sprint, long time NYC bike courier and GFNY ambassador to get some top tips for you.
1. Coming to New York to race the GFNY is always a good chance to spend a few days in the Big Apple. What are your recommendations to hang out as a bike geek?
Your first stop should definitely be a lap in Central Park to enjoy the sites. But be aware of the traffic, as it can be a little dicey. In the evening, Time Square is fun to enjoy, especially if this is your first trip to New York City.
2. With the race starting early in the morning, do you have any recommendations on what to do on George Washington bridge?
During your GFNY packet pick-up at the expo, it's great to purchase some extra clothing like long gloves, a warm jacket, arm warmers etc. if you forgot to bring them. At the start, there will be a bag drop to place extra clothing in, which will be waiting for you at the finish line.
3. With over 160km of racing and some mean climbs, the right tactic is decisive to survive GFNY – what is your secret tip?
Personally, I like to stop at each rest area for food and drinks and to take some photos of this amazing experience!
4. What is the hardest part of GFNY? Which climb should I be saving my energy for?
The last 60 kilometres can be a lot of work if you have the wrong pace at the start of the race. Take your time, eat and drink well and enjoy the ride. My Pro tip is using compact gearing – I personally like to ride 11-32 in the back with a 50-34 crank.
5. Where and how do you recover after the race?
I enjoy the GFNY party at the finish line area after I pick up my bag. They have free food for all participants, drinks, music and of course the presentation ceremony. If you are staying in the city, you should prepare to ride back to your hotel for some rest and then have some nice dinner close to your hotel! (Uli, founder of GFNY, recommends El Centro on 9th Avenue)
Thanks for the tips Nelson, we wish you all the best for GFNY!

REUTERS - Asian currencies rose on Monday as falls in the U.S. stock market and Treasury yields kept the U.S. dollar range-bound, and made regional currencies relatively more attractive bets.
Downside to the U.S. dollar and government bond yields came from President Donald Trump's verbal intervention on Thursday, when he told the Wall Street Journal the dollar was "getting too strong" and that he would prefer the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low.
The dollar index, which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six rival currencies, fell 0.17 percent to 100.390 on Monday.
The 10-year U.S. Treasuries yield fell to 2.200 percent on Thursday, before market holiday on Friday, hitting their lowest level since mid-November.
U.S. Treasury benchmark yields also hit near five-month lows on Thursday, after Trump's comments intensified a bond market rally, which was also underpinned by worries about potential U.S. military strikes against North Korea.
"Asian currencies excluding Japan are caught between two forces: on the one hand, the U.S. dollar is weighed by the break of the U.S. 10-year bond yield below its four-month range," said Philip Wee, senior currency economist, at DBS Bank.
"On the other hand, Asia ex-Japan currencies are uncomfortable with the drag from U.S. stocks on their equity markets."
Major U.S. stock indexes fell on Thursday, for a third straight session, after retail sales dropped more than expected in March, and annual core inflation slowed to 2.0 percent, data showed.
The soft U.S. data further dented investor confidence in the U.S., which was already frayed by worries over North Korea's failed attempt to launch a missile on Sunday.
The missile launch added to existing regional unease after U.S. President Donald Trump took a tough rhetorical line with Pyongyang, and urged China to do the same.
"Asian forex markets remain vigilant regarding the sabre-rattling between the U.S. and North Korea. For now, U.S. may be looking to first work with allies (especially China) on non-military options on North Korea," Wee added.
The Singapore dollar gained 0.18 percent versus the dollar after export growth beat expectations in March, buoyed by petrochemical and pharmaceutical shipments, data showed on Monday.
The Taiwan dollar rose 0.28 percent to stand at 34.240 against the U.S. dollar, on relief that the U.S. Treasury did not name it as a currency manipulator. However, Taiwan has been retained on the U.S. Treasury's monitoring list for trade practices.
The Philippine peso, however, fell 0.25 percent against the dollar, after four straight session of gains, with inward remittances, foreign inflows into stocks and weak U.S. data weighing on the currency.
Strong capital inflows in the past few sessions have kept the peso buoyant with analysts expecting the prospects of a tax amnesty plan raising hopes for potential inflows.
The yuan was little changed against the U.S. dollar on the day, barely reacting to data that showed the Chinese economy grew 6.9 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.
In a highly anticipated report released Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration declined to name any major trading partners as currency manipulators, confirming a decision to back away from his key campaign promise to slap such a label on China.
The semi-annual U.S. Treasury currency report, however, decided to retain China on a currency "monitoring list" despite Beijing's progress in reducing its global current account surplus, citing its unusually large trade surplus with the United States.
The Treasury report also kept five other trading partners on the monitoring list: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany and Switzerland.
The yuan did not react to the Treasury report either.

I am so excited to share these quilts with you!! Last summer, my daughter (8) came to me wanting a more grown up quilt for her bed. She has a pink & green quilt featuring frogs, a pink and black one featuring dogs, and a Pam Kitty quilt that includes the panel fabrics of kitties in pretty dresses. Maybe it was time.
We searched and searched patterns, and both fell in love with Red Pepper Quilts hummingbird pattern. I loved her use of two fabrics per block, and the negative space involved - I loved everything about it, except the work involved. She used paper piecing to achieve her pattern, and her blocks were only 6". I hate all manner of paper piecing - I've tried multiple times, including non-paper paper piecing - I just don't enjoy it at all. Plus, I wanted larger blocks.
I messed around with every ruler I have and tried many different methods, trying to find a way to make this block without templates or paper piecing. I found it, and the only snag is that you're making two quilts at a time rather than one. But I love the 2nd quilt just as much as the first.
My work is your gain, because in the upcoming issue of McCall's quilting (March/April 2016), there is a pattern for these quilts using super easy cutting and piecing. No paper piecing, and while McCall's gives you a template, you could easily use a ruler to make the kite shape without their template. I had a couple of rulers that worked and I'm betting you do too.
How pretty is that!! Their picture of course. I'm no photographer. And here is the Sparkle quilt by itself:
I just love this quilt!! Before they left to be photographed, my daughter couldn't decide which she wanted for her bed. I can't wait to get them back home and have one of them on there! And the other for myself, of course:)
If you do decide to make one, I'd love to see it. You can contact me through the blog, or use the hashtags #Sparkle or #Spin on Instagram. As a bonus, McCall's has a coloring guide to be used with this design on their web-site.
I'm linking this up to Crazy Mom Quilts for her Finish it Friday series.

Key ingredients such as garlic-known for its flu and cold fighting benefits and anti-inflammatory properties, black beans and butternut squash, which contain nutrients such as vitamin b6, magnesium and plant-based protein! The added tablespoon of turmeric is warm and anti-inflammatory as well! This soup is a sure winner in the recovery department after a run!!
One Pot Soup!! I use my deep Le Creuset Saute Pan !
- 2 shallots;
- 6 large cloves of garlic;
- 1/4 cup of Olive Oil;
- 1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon (Better Than Bouillon Brand);
- 1 package Butternut Squash Zoodles ( Veggie Noodle Company);
- 2 cups of cooked, cooled Black Beans;
- 1 tablespoon Turmeric powder;
- 3 cups of water
- Heat olive oil in pan;
- add chopped shallots and garlic;
- saute until golden;
- add cooked, cooled black beans;
- add water and 1 tablespoon of bouillon base;
- simmer,then add package of butternut squash zoodles
- cook everything until beans are very tender,but zoodles aren't mush!

text: Hello everyone, I got my HTC Desire on Monday, it's a superb phone. I love it. Anyway, I connected it to my computer and synced some files using Windows Explorer (disk drive mode). I turned the phone off, unplugged the USB cord and attempted to turn the phone back on. However, when I did, instead of turning on, the phone vibrated seven times. After that, nothing happened. I tried turning the phone back on but to no avail. When I plugged the phone in to charge, no light appeared, orange or green. What the hell just happened? Can I fix my phone without having to return it?
