PORTRAIT GALLERY: FACES OF THE NRHC BY PAUL MILOSEVICH Paul Milosevich is an accomplished artist, some say one of the best at portrait painting. He enjoys portraits because of the time that goes into creating one. "A painted portrait takes hours to do. And if it's done from the person actually sitting there, it's three to 10 hours of the artist's life that was spent creating that portrait. Add the physical properties of paint, plus everything that the artist brings into it, and also what kind of responses the subject triggered in the artist. Sometimes you can look at a painted portrait and sense the hours that went by." This exhibit features portraits of some of the people who have guided and shaped the NRHC. HORSE-DRAWN TO HORSEPOWER Opens August 17 "Horse-Drawn to Horsepower" is an exhibit that offers a look at America's transition from the horse and buggy to the horseless carriage.

One of the featured artifacts is a working 1923 Ford Model T "chuck truck," or motorized chuck wagon. Other artifacts include a wide array of tools and materials related to the Ford Model T, which became a common sight on many ranches in the early 20th century. Rare photographs showing early automobiles at work in rural America will also be on display. The exhibit opens on August 17 and closes in summer 2014. The National Ranching Heritage Center is a museum and historical park comprised of 48 authentic dwellings and outbuildings from some of history's most important ranches.

"Terrible hotel experience"
Could not thought of even worse experience. The rooms were old and dirty. There were sign of wearing inside everywhere of the room, like rusted toilet handle and dirty mark on walls. The furniture appeared old to the extent that u dare not put anything inside. It teached me how a normal hotel could already earn credits in tourists' mine.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Hotel is great but don't expect internet service"
Very, very nice place with friendly staff, big pool, clean rooms. Far from the beach so walking to the beach is a chore. Also internet in only available at the lobby, the main pool area and restaurant. We found the pool area to have internet connections only 50% of the time, so that was disappointing. The breakfast is probably 2 star at best. But we […] had a villa with a yard and private pool and we loved it. For the money, I recommend this place for sure. Just be sure to get a mosquito repellant unit which they will provide if asked. It plugs into the outlet and keeps them away and works fairly well. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

This was my second stay at this hotel on this trip and I'd probably stay here again, as the price and location are right for me.

"Ideal, quiet, friendly, clean."
I stay here regularly, often just as a 1 or 2 night stopover before travelling up the West Coast to visit friends in their village. It is ideal as it's close to all you need in Seminyak but tucked quietly away 5 minutes down a laneway with secure compound walls. The pool side rooms are the best having recently been renovated, best to pay for a renovated […] room, some of the older ones are still a bit "tired" but they are working on them. The AC is great. The beds huge & so comfy. Staff are wonderful, they'll know your name 5 mins after you arrive & greet you in a friendly way everytime they see you. Food is good & cheap for a hotel. Drinks by the pool are cheap too.The Indo & Balinese dishes & breakfast are the closest you'll find to authentic at any hotel, or restaurant in Seminyak ( sad that so many of the other places westernise the food so much), but their western food is good too. and the staff are wonderful. I've already booked 3 nights back there for Christmas. This willnow be my home in Seminyak for my regular trips to Bali to visit my adopted family. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Hotel Seminyak village, Seminyak Bali"
The hotel was small & comfortable, not as good as it looked in the actual hotel photo's. It was down a long alley way which was dirty & very smelly from the drains. Also quite dangerous if with small children as very wide ditches on each side full of dirty drain water, not very safe especially at night. The hotel was ok though for what we paid for it, […] wouldn't like to think I'd paid a lot to stay there, you get what you pay for I suppose. When we got there the main pool was closed for repairs (the pool was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel as we have two children & the pool in the photo's looked really good) the pool was closed for the whole of our stay but we did get an upgrade to a family room with a small pool so wasn't too bad but still a bit disappointing for the children. Overall the hotel was ok but wouldn't use it again, would rather pay a little more & get something better! IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

We stayed here for one week in a one bedroom garden studio apartment. Our room was large and beautiful, a king bed and two singles separated by sliding doors.

The resort is a little dated: in need of a facelift! (Doors that wont shut / features around the facility that were old/broken). Wireless Internet service worked for the first few days, then not.

We arrived at 1.00am and we would have checked out then & there but for the fact we were very tired. I actually slept in my clothes on top of the bed as the linen was not the best. We decided to check out the next morning ASAP. Seeing it in the day light did not have a different opinion of the place. The pool was awful with no umbrellas or decent loungers, […] The final straw was the breakfast the only edible food available was toast & if you wanted egg then that would be OK. We checked out which didn't take long as we didn't bother to unpack. I would love to be able to say something positive about this Resort but in all honesty I have stayed in better back packers The rooms are old & tired & the photographs on the web site certainly were nothing like the accommodation. We weren't the only unhappy campers - at breakfast we got talking to another very disappointed customer who had paid for their children to come with them for a week before they went on to another resort - this was their Christmas treat. Also a young couple were checking out at the same time as se were for the same reasons.

Changing from a single-user to a multi-user installation on Windows (rev2)
If you received the error message "There was a problem initializing Opera Mail. Engine Init() Failed", it may mean that you have a stand-alone (USB) installation of Opera. Although a stand-alone installation is not usual using our installer, this may sometimes be possible. For example, you may have chosen to install a test version (alpha, beta and so on) as a stand-alone installation.
A stand-alone installation will install your profile in the Program Files folder, which is not writeable unless you are the system administrator.
One solution to the problem is to convert your stand-alone installation of Opera to a multi-user installation of Opera. You should first check that you do in fact have a stand-alone installation. Select the menu item Help > About Opera, and consider the paths. If your Mail directory is located in Program Files, you have a stand-alone installation of Opera.
To change to a multi-user installation of Opera, follow these steps below:
- First, take note of the file paths shown in Help > About Opera [1].
- Close Opera.
- Open "operaprefs_default.ini" from the main Opera folder in a plain text editor.
- Change the lines as follows: "Single user: [System] Multi User=0" and "Multi user: [System] Multi User=1".
- Save and close "operaprefs_default.ini".
- Restart Opera, and you should have clean new profile folders under the Application data folder for the current user.
- Take note of the file paths shown in Help > About Opera [1].
- Close Opera again.
- Copy the Profile and Mail folders from the main Opera folder to the directories noted above, replacing the newly-created profile files (these can be overwritten).
- Open "operaprefs_default.ini " from the new Profile folder in a plain text editor.
- Update all the file paths you find there to match the new locations.
- Save and close "operaprefs_default.ini" and, you're done.
[1] Default folder locations for multi-user installations when using Windows XP:
- Main (installation) folder is likely 'C:\\Program files\\Opera\\'
- Profile folders can usually be found at one of the following locations:
- 'C:\\Documents and settings\\username\\Application data\\Opera\\Opera\\profile\\'
- 'C:\\Documents and settings\\username\\Local Settings\\Application data\\Opera\\Opera\\profile\\'
- The mail directory is usually one of the following:
- 'C:\\Documents and settings\\username\\Application data\\Opera\\Opera\\mail\\'
- 'C:\\Documents and settings\\username\\Local Settings\\Application data\\Opera\\Opera\\mail\\'

Continued growth creates opportunity for experienced drivers
GREEN BAY, Wis., Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider National Bulk Carriers, one of the nation's largest liquid bulk carriers, is experiencing significant demand for its industry-leading chemical hauling services. In fact, the demand is so great that the company's tanker division is rewarding experienced drivers with a $5,000 sign-on bonus ($10,000 for teams). Positions are available in many areas across the Midwest, South and Northeast; interested drivers willing to relocate are eligible for a $3,000 sign-on bonus and a $2,000 relocation allowance. Opportunities also exist for recent driving school graduates.
"Our reputation as the best chemical hauler in the country gets stronger every year," said George Grossardt, vice president and general manager, Schneider National Bulk Carriers. "Couple that with the solid growth of the chemical industry, and it's no surprise that our need for more drivers grows too. We are excited to grow our business and provide more stable, well-paying jobs for professional drivers."
According to Bulk Transporter magazine, Schneider moved up four spots in the magazine's annual gross revenue report rankings, jumping from number eight in 2011 to number four in 2012.
There are a lot of other plusses to being a tanker driver for Schneider National. These driving professionals are offered a unique time-off schedule in which they pick the six days they want off each month, and Schneider accommodates those date preferences. Experienced drivers can earn over $60,000 in their first year and will receive one of the industry's best benefits packages. Many, like veteran tanker driver David Bost, also find it to be a fun and unique career.
"I drive tanks for Schneider because I like the challenge," says Bost. "I like the aspect of being able to work with the customer and to unload their products in a timely and safe manner versus being able to just open up the trailer door and back up to a dock."
(To get a more personal look at the work of a tanker driver, please view this short video of Bost talking about what he loves about his job.)
The sign-on bonus will be offered for a limited time only. Drivers interested in applying or learning more can visit www.schneiderjobs.com or call 800-44-PRIDE (800-447-7433).

Break out the Sabor de Soledad; 30 Rock ends tonight.
To everything, there is a season to shut it down. Through seven years, 138 episodes, 14 Emmy wins and what its writers estimate as 23,000 hard-won punch lines, 30 Rock and its frequently food-stained heroine, Liz Lemon, have taught us that much, at least. (Other key lessons: "Never go with a hippie to a second location," and beware of the white dudes who "inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets.")
The show's final episode will air January 31st, so for Jack, Liz, Tracy, Jenna and Kenneth, for Grizz and for Dotcom, too, these are the end times. But on a mid-November day at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens, everything's still in place. Since 2006, this warehouselike space, three miles and a borough away from NBC's actual 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters, has been the cast and crew's second home/airless-14-hour-a-day prison, and they still have a month left.
The creators of the just-concluded Gossip Girl, which shot next door, have already packed up their stuff. But 30 Rock's universe is intact for the moment, from the ninja swords, lizard tank and "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" gold record in Tracy Jordan's dressing room the no-doubt-fossilized licorice in The Girly Show writers' room, to the majestic but fake views of the Manhattan skyline in Jack Donaghy's office. They haven't even gotten rid of the set for Elaine Stritch's elegant Florida house, and her character is dead.
NBC wasn't begging for an eighth season of a show that's never had more than 8 million or so viewers, but ultimately, 30 Rock seems to be ending because Tina Fey is done with it. "There is no more," says Fey, the show's creator, star and showrunner (along with former Friends and Saturday Night Live writer Robert Carlock). "I love our crew dearly, and I hate being in the position of saying, 'Sorry, we're ending this nice workplace you've had for seven years.' But, you know, the ratings continued to drop."
Alec Baldwin went from trying to quit the show a couple of seasons back to lobbying for another season, even offering to cut his salary. He's convinced that having a second child, in 2011, may have been the breaking point for Fey. "I saw a real difference in her," says Baldwin. "Tina always had her antenna up, but this year was the first time where she came in and laid down on the couch on set, and you could tell, she's a mom. She's fucking wiped out."
Now, the table read for the final episode is looming, and the actors are starting to get emotional – particularly the one who, not long ago, would go on local morning shows and promise to get everyone pregnant. Tracy Morgan is sitting at a craft-services table in a huge open hallway, right next to a lady cooking hamburgers on a tabletop grill. In front of him is a tray of buns and a selection of condiments. As vintage R&B plays over someone's boombox, Morgan begins to weep.
He's still dressed as his slightly loonier 30 Rock alter ego, Tracy Jordan, which means he's wearing a diamond-encrusted TJ necklace over his yellow T-shirt and unbuttoned plaid shirt. Someone hands him a tissue. Still moist-eyed, Morgan points at a crew member, possibly at random, and says, "I spent more time with this dude than my own family!" I laugh, and he looks slightly hurt. "Good times, bad times, ugly times," Morgan muses. "Awards fun, looking forward to spring. It'll never happen again. I can't explain."
There is a definite hall-of-mirrors thing going on in the 30 Rock set, or to be more precise, a watching-The-Matrix-and-Total-Recall-si
Over by the fake writers' room, Fey is shooting a scene in Liz Lemon's office that will end the third-to-last episode, where she receives news that will lead nicely to the series finale. After completing a take, she snaps out of character, and her posture changes – she's still dressed in Liz Lemon's blazer, but she's carrying herself as Tina Fey, standing up so much straighter that she grows a few inches. It's oddly reminiscent of Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent straightening his spine into Superman. ("Awesome," Fey says later. "Maybe I've been doing acting this whole time!")
The scene also includes a bit where Jack McBrayer's Kenneth (currently demoted to janitor) is pushing an overflowing hamper full of oranges around. As she emerges from Liz's office, Fey asks, "Were they using the crateful of oranges in The Godfather style as the harbinger of the death of the show? I think we should say they were!"
"I don't understand any of these references!" McBrayer says, sounding exactly like his character. Unsurprisingly, Fey created Kenneth for McBrayer, a Georgia native she got to know on the Chicago improv scene.
"In The Godfather," Fey says, "whenever anyone dies, there's oranges." McBrayer, it emerges, has never seen the film. "But I've seen Hope Floats 13 times," he says.
Back home, McBrayer says, people are similarly perplexed by 30 Rock itself – which may help explain why one of the 21st century's most acclaimed and beloved sitcoms has never approached Seinfeld- and Friends-level popularity. "Hardly anybody in Georgia watches it," he says. "It's a very specific taste. My family doesn't get it. They don't watch SNL. There are no references for them to grab on to. There's not a lot I can do to be like, 'OK, here are these crazy references we're making,' because some of them I don't get!"
For Fey, the biggest triumph of 30 Rock is its very survival: the unlikely persistence of a show sufficiently unhinged to use blackface on three occasions; to have Jane Krakowski's monstrously narcissistic Jenna Maroney consummate her self-adoration by marrying her own male impersonator; to have Elizabeth Banks' Avery Jessup kidnapped by Kim Jong-Il as an unfortunate consequence of NBC's "Hot Blondes in Weird Places" initiative. "I feel like we made a lot of good episodes of the kind of show that usually gets canceled," says Fey. "The kind where there's 20 episodes and 'only me and my hipster friends know about it.' That part's still true. But we made 140 of them!"
What's really crazy about 30 Rock is its sheer verbal velocity – punch lines go by so fast that even smart people may need to rewind (an industrious blogger calculated that a 2010 episode averaged 9.57 jokes per minute). "It requires you to pay attention in a way that you don't always want to at the end of a long day," says Fey, "and I get that. I'm a professional comedy worker, and there would be days when I'm like, 'I love Arrested Development, but I don't want to watch it right now.' "
"They're a throwback to a time where movies and television used words," says 30 Rock executive producer Lorne Michaels, who argues that the show's use of a movie-style single camera, with no laugh track, allowed them to speed up. "It doesn't stop for jokes. You feel better about yourself watching it. At least I do."
It's not easy for the actors, though. I watch Krakowski burn through numerous takes as she attempts to make the following tongue twister sound like human speech: "I have this weird sick feeling in my stomach, like that time I drank antifreeze to frame José Canseco for my murder." "We've all started speaking so quickly," says Krakowski. "You have to really know your lines, because if you don't say them fast enough, they'll be cut."
Fey had never written a sitcom pilot before she wrote 30 Rock's, just as she had never written a movie script before Mean Girls. For all the show's mockery of TV executives' ideas, it was NBC VP Kevin Reilly who suggested Fey write a show about backstage life at SNL, after passing on her first idea: She would play the producer on a Bill O'Reilly-style cable program, with Alec Baldwin as the on-air talent. "The first pitch was not unlike The Newsroom on HBO," she says. "It was good we didn't try to do that, because I would have drowned trying to keep up with the subject matter."
Fey was initially reluctant to pursue Reilly's other suggestion. "It seemed so lazy to just write about writing." It wasn't until she thought of using Tracy Morgan on the fictional show that she reconsidered. "I thought, 'Oh, this could be a thing.' I was writing the pilot, I was writing a movie and I was trying to get pregnant, and I was like, 'We'll see what sticks,' and what stuck was the pilot and I got pregnant."
Excerpts from the rest of the article
--- In some ways, Liz is a pre-self-actualized Fey: It's Tina from when she was an SNL writer, but not yet a "Weekend Update" anchor. "Liz is a person who operates like no one's looking at her," says Fey. "She's not going to stand up straight or wear an underwire bra if she doesn't have to. We used to sit at the writers' table at SNL, and one of the actresses would be headed to a movie premiere, with their borrowed dress and hair done and their makeup, and we'd sit there like Cinderella, just back at home, picking birdseed out of the embers. In some ways, it's quite freeing, because you don't have to care about that stuff. But everyone wants to be a performer. As reality TV has proven, 97 percent of all people think they're quite special, and we're all wrong – except for Meryl Streep and Honey Boo Boo, we're all wrong."
--- Fey is convinced that conservatives' irritation with her I-can-see-Russia-from-my-house SNL takedowns of Palin (not to mention Baldwin's outspoken liberalism) may have been yet another obstacle to her show's ratings. But 30 Rock's own political message, to the extent it has one, actually leans right – Baldwin's Republican character is quite often proved correct about all manner of things. "It's a lot more fun to let the conservative guy be right more," says Carlock, "because it's contrary to what most TV shows are flogging. It's fun to let Liz be a little less well-informed, but maybe a little more morally right, and Jack to be a lot more sophisticated." Adds Fey, with a small laugh, "The show's only agenda is pro-obedience."
--- Right at the beginning of 30 Rock, Fey faced the kind of dilemma she might have written for Liz: In the pilot, her friend and fellow SNL vet Rachel Dratch played Jenna, and NBC was certain that she wasn't right for the part. "It was wrenching for her," says Michaels.
But Fey didn't have a choice. "If I had said, 'I quit,' then they would have been like, 'OK, bye,' " she recalls. And she came to realize that for all of Dratch's talent, she was miscast. "It was a failed experiment, because I took Dratch, who is inherently sweet, and said, 'Let's write her the opposite, have that cartoon-eyed person playing a diva and throwing fits,' and it was one layer too many for what the show needed."
They ended up giving the role to Ally McBeal alum Krakowski. Somehow, the kind of casting switch that happens all the time became very public, and very awkward. "There was so much publicity about it," says Krakowski, "which wasn't easy for me, and really wasn't easy for Rachel." Jenna took on some of Krakowski's Broadway background, and as Tracy Jordan became cuddlier, she turned more sociopathic. "What I pulled for Jenna is every horrific story and stereotype you've ever heard of any actor," says Krakowski. "It was an amalgamation of bad behavior all put into one."
--- Fey isn't quite sure what comes next – she'd like to act in more movies, as long as they don't shoot too far from her family: "It's funny how you dream of being a movie star, and then they're like, 'It's in Budapest,' and you're like, 'No, I'm good.' " She's not ready to write another book, and she's not interested in directing films. The one thing she knows for sure is that she and Carlock are going to spend some time coming up with another TV show – multi-camera this time, she hopes, which may mean fewer jokes per minute, but shorter work days and more sleep.
--- It's hard to imagine, really, but in the earliest days of 30 Rock, Alec Baldwin was terrified. At 48, he felt like he was running out of options. "I knew that the movie thing was starting to wind down," he says. "You get your shot in that business, and if the movies don't make money, you get demoted into indie-land, where you earn 10 percent of what you do in the studio business."
--- Baldwin was ready to leave the show during what he saw as a weak fifth season. "It was the low point," he says, "though even anemic 30 Rock writing is still better than everybody else's writing. I go, 'I'm going to get the fuck out of here, I'm done,' because I'm an employee, I don't have any say. So Season Five ends, and I'm saying, 'Next year, I'm done,' then I come back, and Season Six is really good, we all had fun again." Then Baldwin met his second wife, and he suddenly was ready to stay in New York forever. "Fuck, I'll stay here seasons Nine, 10 and 11." He is actually signed for an eighth season. "I
don't think they wanted me, they just wanted to know they had the option to have me."

Sometimes gawkers stare from the sidewalk. Other times they walk right up to Linn Murphy's car and peer around.
"A lot of people just don't know," Murphy said. "A lot of people say, 'Isn't that gas?'"
Scott Goss wanted an electric car for years. When he saw the same public charging station in Atlanta, "I freaked out."
Now Goss drives a red Chevy Volt. He named it Sparkie. It runs on electricity the first 40 miles of each charge and sips gas after that.
Between Sparkie and the free public charging station, which is powered by solar panels, Goss saves about $130 a month in fuel.
"It was like they were giving me free gas," he said.
Public charging stations are sprouting up across the country, often backed by public-private partnerships or businesses trying to lure customers who are waiting for their cars to charge.
They're also a lifeline for apartment and condo residents who want an electric car but have no way of charging them at home.
"I'm glad I found a charging station next to my apartment. I would have no options, living in an apartment," Atlanta resident Aashish Mehta said.
Murphy, who lives in a condo building, carefully researched where he could plug in before buying his Nissan Leaf, a fully electric car that runs about 110 miles on a full charge.
But relying on public charging stations can come with inconveniences.
Instead of spending a few minutes filling up at a gas station, electric drivers running on empty must plug in for hours to get a full charge -- though you can still "top off" an electric car by plugging in for a few minutes.
Those who have charging systems at home can simply leave their cars plugged in overnight. But for electric owners trying to get a full charge at a public station, the wait could be three or four hours.
That's where the placement of public stations is vital -- not just for drivers, but for businesses that can cash in by luring drivers to their stores.
Though Goss now has a charging system at home, he prefers to plug in at Atlantic Station, a mixed-use development in Atlanta that has a grocery store, department stores, bars and restaurants.
"I'm usually here for three to four hours anyway," running errands or eating, he said.
Andy Wood, who bought an electric vehicle, or EV, to help the environment, makes a special effort to support businesses that provide him "free gas."
"I go out of my way and plan my trips around public charging stations. You're helping me ... so I'm paying you back with my loyalty and spending my business there," he said.
The drugstore chain Walgreens is the largest retail host of EV charging stations in the country, with more than 400 plug-in sites in 18 metro areas, including Philadelphia; Baltimore; Tampa, Florida; and Portland, Oregon.
Depending on electrician and permitting costs, the stations can cost between $3,000 and $15,000 to install, said Suzanne Tamargo, a spokeswoman for Car Charging, the provider for Walgreens' stations.
But drivers say the network of public EV stations isn't nearly as extensive as it should be.
There are about 8,000 public sites across the United States, a blip compared to the 150,000 gas stations in the country. About a quarter of the country's public charging stations are in California, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Randy Stanley, who recently leased a Nissan Leaf and has a bumper sticker declaring, "This machine starves terrorists," calls it a "chicken-or-the-egg" scenario -- charging stations won't pop up unless there's demand, but some drivers are reluctant to get an electric car until they see more public stations.
One public-private venture, the EV Project, has set up about 2,600 public charging stations in nine states and 21 cities.
The project, funded jointly by Department of Energy grants and partner matches, collects data on the usage of EV infrastructure to analyze how best to deploy charging stations.

EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- A portion of I-25 was closed overnight as crews worked to clear an overturned cattle truck.
It happened just before 11:30 p.m. on northbound I-25 near Ray Nixon Road, that is just south of Fountain.
The Colorado State Patrol said a semi-truck and trailer loaded with cattle was heading south when a tire blew.
The truck then crossed the center median, hit a guardrail and then overturned in the northbound lanes.
Two other cars were also involved.
No injuries were reported and the cattle were taken to a nearby ranch.
