Spider House Patio Bar & Cafe Restaurant Review: Spider House Patio Bar & Café is the secret haunt of both young and old Austinites. Featuring lots of outdoor seating under the veranda or out on the tree-filled patio, this cool café becomes a feast of lights at night when the multi-colored Christmas strands illuminate the hodge-podge collection of sculptures and bathroom fixtures. Spider House is also a favorite among local vegetarians, who clamor for sandwiches like the vegetarian "cheesesteak" or the hummus pita. Pizzas, snacks and more sandwiches round out the menu. Frequent happy hours feature specials on pitchers of Lone Star, the national beer of Texas, as well as other well drinks. In addition to conversation, an eclectic array of live music and film screenings entertain patrons on various nights. |

"Great Stay and Great Price"
The Breakers Resort is an awesome hotel. It was very clean and close to everything on Myrtle Beach. The Staff was very friendly. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very clean. I would love to stay here again. It also has the parking garage and Starbucks directly across the street.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Less than satisfied"
Breakers should be rated as less than a 3 star hotelÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Close to everything"
Nice indoor pool and hot tub, beds were comfortableÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
We loved it amazing view and very cleanÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Frig didnt work,but upgraded our room"
Over all we had a good time, rooms are defintly older and a little out dated,but for the price you cant beat it. Our frige didnt work so they up gqqraded us to a suite at no extra charge, good timeÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Thanksgiving weekend"
The room was nice and clean but I requested a smoking room to find out after I got there you can only smoke on the balcony, the parking across the street was a headache, and also not having ready to make coffee bothered me too. I had no issues with the hotel or staff.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Beautiful Beach Setting"
The Breakers Resort is situated on a beautifully maintained stretch of the "Grand Strand." The many pools, heated jacuzzis, and Lazy River tubing stream were wonderful amenities. The in-room kitchenette was an added bonus. The front desk staff was courteous and responsive to our needs. Our only complaint was during check-in when we were tapped for an […] $11/day "Resort Fee", was in addition to the room fee and tax we had prepaid through Hotels.com. This extra fee was not mentioned by the Hotels.com reservations nor is it listed on the Breakers website. This was like a slap in the face. We had no choice except pay the fee. Not cool!

"room 208"
in all honestly,,i booked this room thru someone else,,and I asked for a smoking room,,after I got there and checked in and went to the room I got a surprise,,,it was no smoking and I was told that if I smoked I would incur a 100 fine,,needless to say I was also told that none of your rooms were smoking,,and im in myrtle beach and did not get the room […] I asked for and needless to say,,,you were not going to refund my money,,and actually I was told I could get kicked out for smoking,,,in all honestly,,,you have a lot of aminitys that is nice,,,but I had rather stay at the econo lodge in Florence,,,at least I could get a cup of coffee and a Danish in the morning,,,i would never stay at your resort again,,,even if you offered me a week free visit,,,,the money I paid you for the room comes from cigarettes sales,,,i work where they make cigarettes,,at least I did have a choice at econo lodge,,,, Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Just wanted to get away and relax!"
The hotel property is very big and very well lit. Check-in was easy only thing about that was the resort fee is not included in the price when you pay off hotel.com. The room was spacest and clean. The neighbors kept slamming the door but all was well.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

rooms were clean and comfortable! Staff was friendly. We are coming back in December and are staying here again. Great location.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Excellent Stay!"
We traveled to Myrtle Beach in the off-season for R&R and had a great stay at the Breakers. We were given a room with an amazing view in the Palms building, which is directly on the beach. The property has numerous hot tubs and heated pools which are very relaxing.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Breaker's Break"
Shower would not cut off, had to have maintenance to fix. Did like the free up-grade.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
Was not happy to learn upon arrival that we had to pay an additional per night "resort fee" that equaled almost 1/3 of the room fee. This was a huge increase for an off season booking. If we had know when booking we would have stayed elsewhere. The room was fine. Needed additional weatherstripping around the inside door to cut down on hall noise and […] noise from the ice maker just down the hall. Hot tubs, pool and sauna were great.

It was ok not what I was looking for but the room was clean. I really do think its time for upgrade of beds to pillowtop mattresses.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Cheap and nice"
Located on the beach. Pretty nice accommodations for what you pay to stay here.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
Nice, clean hotel enjoyed my stay.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Excellent choice"
The only thing that would really make it better is the parking situation. No one told us about the lot across the street and the garage. I almost wrecked my car trying to find a space in one of the lots surrounding the facility. Not good at all for parking.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Good stay"
We stayed at the North tower after an adjustment to our accommodations. Very nice room w/ a full sized fridge, w/d, and cook stove/oven. Nice view of the ocean from the12th floor with a full deck that we could access from both our bedroom and livingroom. The beach access was right through the pool areaÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Always an excellent choice!"
Hotel staff was great, from front desk to housekeeping. Clean updated rooms with great ocean front views. Location is top notch. Best value on the Grand Strand.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Less than expected on all counts"
TV reception poor-nearly unwatchable, stale items for breakfast, hidden resort fee, 9:00 "cleaning' of hall walkways with a leaf blower-outside of unit door!, light-bulb out in bathroom, unfriendly reception.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Mytle Beach"
Wonderful stay! If I was ever in the area again and needed a hotel I would stay at the Breakers!Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Breakers - Old Building in New Myrtle Beach"
We were in the Palmetto building. The room was mostly clean (someone needs to scrub the tile surround on the shower walls a little better). For the age of the building and price though, all was great. The staff was easy to work with and amiable. They even had security wait with me in the middle of the night when we came to check in because of a drunken […] beach goer who was getting a little to "buddy buddy" for my and my husbands comfort while trying to unload the car with two little children. The security officers waited with me while the hubby took a load to the room and when we were carrying the sleeping children to the rooms they proceeded to try and help the guy locate a friend (by using his phone to call) to pick him up. Great security guys who are not trying to ruin someone's beach trip. We did NOT want the guy to go to jail or get in trouble, just someone to wait with me so I wasn't alone at 1am with a drunk and two sleeping kids :-) The are considered N Myrtle though VERY close to the grand strand yet far enough away from the cruising that happens on the strand. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. ONE THING; they were listed as a certain price a night though upon checkout we were charged $35 for using expedia, kinda ticked me off because there should be no "new" charges in my opinion for booking online. These should either be IN the online booking costs or not charged at all! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Very Satisified"
We have nothing negative to say about this hotel. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the room was very comfortable. We would come back to this place again and again. I know this is an older hotel, but it did not show wear. We liked the location and view of the ocean.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Great Location"
Hotel Service was awesome!!! The little extra perks were great too. The only complaint is that the bed was a little uncomfortable...other than that...perfect location and loved the staff.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Large complex / plenty to do / right on the beach"
Happy with the value but did not know about the additional resort fees not revealed at time of booking. Would stay there again but the local taxes are higher than average even on dining but gas prices were the lowest we saw in our 14 day 3500 mile trip.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"decent place for long weekend"
The room was nice and clean. We were unable to enjoy the oceanfront balcony due to smokers below us even though we had a nonsmoking room. 21st street runs right infront of the hotel which made it convenient to get in and out to restaurants and sights. It was cold so didn't get to take advantage of the outdoor amenities. Loved Red Parrot dining...esp […] Jason the bartender!!! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
Upon arriving, we were hit with an additional $11/night- "Resort Fee". Our first ocean front room was on the ground floor & was more pool front. We got them to change us to the 3rd floor where we found our balcony looked into the fronds of two large palm trees. Our ocean front turned out to be on the extreme right & a little left of center of our balcony. […] Finally, the hotel Wi-Fi did not reach our 3rd floor room.

"Nice Amenities- good value- great location"
Very nice room, although only 2 of us stayed in an oceanview suite, it could have easily slept 6. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable and the room had a sitting area with an additional TV. Nice view of the ocean from our balcony. Pools and hot tubs were great. We had free DVD rentals at the registration area- nice perk! I have only 2 negatives: […] there was no pen and paper in the room-very odd for a hotel. Also, housekeeping did not refill our soaps-just left the opened ones sitting out in water. Those are very small complaints but mentionable. Be sure to bring a pen if you need to write down a confirmation number for a dinner show. We would stay there again.

"on the beach can't get any closer!"
I brought 5 exchange students, high schoolers and they loved the fact that we were on the beach and next to food and shopping. The best of everything. When the girls were showering they stripped the faucet in the bathtub. They immediately came up and moved them to another room within 5 minutes. thanksÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
We stayed October 16-18. No crowds , quiet. Staff friendly & helpful. Rooms adequate and clean. Location very good & right on the beach & walking distance to the Boardwalk. We enjoyed our stay.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Great place, Great price"
We loved our two day stay here at the Breakers. We got a fantastic rate since it was off season in October. The hotel room had a coffee maker, toaster, microwave and refrigerator, so we were able to save money by eating in a few times. You must bring your own coffee filters, coffee, etc. as that is not provided. We were given a card to get free movies […] each night. The staff was friendly and helpful.

"A 3 star hotel that strives to give a little extra"
The Breakers Resort is listed as 3-star and that's exactly what it is. I'm extremely picky about hotels so I notice things that others wouldn't (hey there is a bulb out here.. or hey, there's a little leak here), things my new wife could have cared less about, she was busy enjoying the oceanfront view on our balcony. If you have a family, this resort […] is perfect. It's great for a romantic getaway, it's close to Broadway at the Beach. It's even not too far from the boardwalk. There are lots of dining options both in and around the hotel, and there is a self parking deck for the hotel. There are just little things here and there that I found annoying. For example our wi-fi was out for the entire week, but then again they refunded our entire resort fee to compensate. So they were definitely attentive and sympathetic. I also think that they have some buildings that are better renovated than others, ours seemed to be a bit older styled, so I highly recommend making sure you're in the Palms building which looked a lot newer inside. All and all, I enjoyed the stay. I would come back (staying in a different building). The staff were friendly. Everything was nice. I recommend it for people looking for a good hotel, reasonably priced and near everything. However if you're looking for valet service, exquisite dining, and high end luxury then don't expect that . This hotel wasn't built to offer that kind of service but the staff do try to go the extra mile for you. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Great stay"
Everything about the hotel stay was great, loved the free dvd rentals in the lobby, and the location was wonderful.... Liked that all 5 hotels in a row belonged to the same chain, one thing I am gonna complain about was the parking, we came back late one night (after12:30) and could not find a parking place in the garage, had it not been for someone […] just leaving we would not have had a place to park, so the next nights we made sure we parked the car early and walked or got the bus to the local places we wanted to see..... other wise this hotel is excellant, will stay here again..

Promo bottles check in with special decoration
Labatt Breweries of Canada, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, expects hockey fans will go "Cup Crazy" for an "Original Six" promotion launched April 1 to coincide with the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The series of limited-edition Labatt Blue bottles feature the six original National Hockey League teams decorated using RevTech's (Edison, NJ) Envirogluv technology. The organic polymer inks remove cleanly--just as a glued paper label would--during standard processing. The 341-mL (12-oz) amber refillable bottles can be returned to any North America brewery."The NHL playoffs have always been a great time for friends to get together over a beer and watch the action," says Nigel Miller, Labatt's director of public affairs. "By giving fans the opportunity to grab a Labatt Blue beer with their favorite team logos, the Original Six bottles celebrate the time-honored tradition that the playoffs represent."Learn about packaging innovation at The Packaging Conference in Orlando, February 3-5, 2014The glass bottles are screen-printed in six colors by Alliance Labeling (Oakville, Ontario, Canada) on a specially equipped Envirogluv line. "The Envirogluv technology allows us to remain committed to the industry standard bottle with all the benefits it brings, while at the same time being able to differentiate our flagship brand," says Miller. Labatt has exclusive rights to Envirogluv technology in Canada for alcoholic beverages, according to RevTech.
The NHL bottles are automatically placed at random--one or more per specially marked case--in 24-packs in Ontario and Nova Scotia, 18-packs in Western Canada, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, and 12-packs in Newfoundland.How many of the collector bottles will be reused remains to be seen--even empty bottles are already proving popular on Internet auction site Ebay. The promotion will likely run through the end of May, depending on supply and demand, according to Miller.Comments(0)

Top Five Award for Dürr's complexity management
Bietigheim-Bissingen, June 12, 2012 – Dürr's Application Technology division ranks internationally among the frontrunners in the field of complexity management. That is shown by a study by the University of St. Gallen completed in May 2012, in which 175 industrial companies in Europe, Asia, and North and South America took part. Dürr Application Technology received the Top Five "Successful Practice Company" Award along with four other companies. The study rated how factors that increase complexity are managed in internal business processes. This includes rising product, variant and component diversity as well as global supply capability and organizational structures, for instance.
Dürr Application Technology is the world's leading supplier of painting robots and application systems, especially for the automobile industry. Dr. Hans Schumacher, Business Unit Head, commented: "We pursue a holistic approach to complexity management that takes the entire value chain into account. We place great importance on transparency, communication, and involving all relevant functions – from the internal departments through to suppliers and logistics partners. In this way we achieve a high level of effectivity also with high business volumes and broad variant diversity."
The other Top Five companies awarded by the University of St. Gallen for their complexity management are BMW, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, Procter&Gamble, and the measuring and process engineering specialist Endress+Hauser. There were no individual rankings within the Top Five.
The Successful Practice benchmarking is an initiative of the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St. Gallen. The Institute seeks a closer link between research and practice as a means of furthering companies' competitive strength. The University of St. Gallen is one of the leading business schools in the German-speaking area.
Dürr is a mechanical and plant engineering group that holds leading positions in the world market in its areas of operation. It generates a good 80% of its sales in business with the automotive industry. It also supplies the aircraft, machinery, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries with innovative production and environmental technology. The Dürr Group operates in the market with four divisions. Paint and Assembly Systems plans and builds paintshops and final assembly systems for the automobile and aircraft industry. Application Technology provides automated paint application, sealing, and glueing with its robot technologies. Machinery and systems from the Measuring and Process Systems division are used in balancing and cleaning processes, in engine and transmission manufacturing and in final vehicle assembly, among other areas. The fourth division, Clean Technology Systems, is focused on processes to improve energy efficiency and on exhaust air purification. Dürr has 50 business locations in 23 countries worldwide and approximately 7,100 employees. The Group achieved sales of € 1.9 billion in 2011.

Gilford sex offender arrested near elementary school
BRISTOL – A registered sex offender was arrested Thursday afternoon after police say he tried to lure two girls into his car in the Bristol Elementary School parking lot.
Police said Christopher Geary, 43, of Lakeshore Road, Gilford, circled the parking lot where the two girls were standing several times just before 4 p.m.
"He did a combination of circling them and talking to them about getting in the car," said Bristol Police Sgt. Timothy Woodward.
Geary was arrested on two Class A felony charges of attempted kidnapping, two Class A misdemeanor charges of stalking, and a disorderly conduct violation, police said.
Witnesses to the incident told Woodward and Officer John Guarneri that the suspect was a white male in his 40s or early 50s driving a blue Jeep Cherokee. One witness said his license plate included the number 303 on it, Woodward said.
A check with the state Department of Safety for vehicles matching the description of the car with a partial plate number of 303 found only one close match, a vehicle registered to Geary, Woodward said.
Bristol police contacted Gilford police and found that Geary is a registered sex offender and has been convicted for attempted felonious sexual assault, numerous counts of indecent exposure and lewdness, escape, and a recent violation of terms and conditions of probation or parole, he said.
Police created a photo line-up "and Geary was positively identified as the suspect by the primary witness."
Geary will be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on July 30.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
With the power of being a mother and midwife, Lim writes this book as a gift to all new mothers, introducing them to their post-partumn lives in a beautiful, natural, and nourishing way.
I read this book after my second daughter was born and it change my reality. When I had my first child my post-partum experience was terrible, I was a new mother and had no access to anyone who really cared or unerstood what I was going through. All the doctor's saw me as was a body. No room for my feelings or quesions about my new role, or knowledge of natural healing herbs or message was available to me. It was a shame, and I feel that many women unknowingly accept this fate.
After reading this book for my second post-partum experience, I was empowered by Lim's nourishing words and wisdom, to take care of the part of myself that was a mother, not just a body. My emotions, my diet, my relationship with my husband and other child, knowledge of helpful herbs, and ayurvedic massage all come togother in a way that wholistic and nourishing.
This book is an important book for this time, when women are now begining to comprehend their roles as mothers in a completely new way than ever before, Women are now allowed to be the beautiful and natural healers that we have always wanted to be. Everyday we nourish our families, and nourish our co-workers, and bosses at work, but in this very special time of post-partum, it is finally our time to nourish and heal ourselves, and take time out to experience the bliss of our new family.
Lim's book will help us walk along this path guided by her wisdom and experience of attending the births of thousands of babies to women and mothers all around the world.
I highly reccommend this book to for any new mother, it will make a perfect gift.
I hope the publisher reprints it (and maybe invites the author to update it) so more mamas can benefit from Robin Lim's wisdom!

Rumor is Hyde is thinking about bolting early.
RB is so thin this year, it wouldn't be a horrible idea. I think he stays though. If the Buckeyes have major success next year it could vault him into the first round of 2014.
That's true. Plus, no one really knows how Jordan Hall will be integrated next season when healthy (i.e. stealing carries). Still, I think a full year and a 1,000+ yard season would be more beneficial than leaving early.
Terelle Pryor was the leading receiver for the Raiders last week, btw. Granted, he only caught one pass, but he's seeing SOME action (had a run and a throw too).
Supposedly Pryor may get the start this weekend. The Raiders putting in Matt Leinart over Pryor when Carson Palmer got hurt further proves why the Raiders will continue to struggle for years to come.
You know what you have with Leinart, he's bad, and not a starting quarterback in the NFL. He's had multiple chances to prove himself and failed every time. At least roll the dice with Pryor and see what you have. You have no shot at making the playoffs, what do you have to lose? Pryor may not be any better than Leinart, but his upside is certainly much, much higher. Find out what you have with him, before it's too late.
McFadden will continue to get hurt every year, and the Raiders will end up firing a few more head coaches over the next few years and continue to be a laughing stock.
Oakland is the last team I'd want to get drafted by, or traded to. It's an NFL graveyard where careers go to die.
I agree 100%, if nothing else Pryor's a serious athletic talent. If he makes crucial mistakes, he learns from them or gets benched, but I'd roll the dice as well.
Raiders have absolutely nothing to lose by starting Pryor.
He's got the start, after a rocky beginning, starting to look pretty good actually.

April 4, 2005
Kent County - Civil Division (739-7641)
Mr. John T. Wells
101 Hilltop Road
Wilmington, DE 19809
RE: Freedom of Information Act Complaint
Against Brandywine School District
Dear Mr. Wells:
On December 31, 2004, we received your letter alleging that the Brandywine School District ("the School District") violated the public records requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, 29 Del. C. Ch. 100 ("FOIA") by: (1) not providing you with copies of documents you requested; and (2) treating you differently than other citizens when processing your FOIA requests.
By letter dated January 10, 2005, we asked the School District to respond to your complaint within ten days. Because of the vacation plans of the School District's counsel, we granted an extension of time and received the School District's response on February 17, 2005.
According to your complaint, on November 26, 2004 you filled out a FOIA request form asking for copies "of the document/documents showing how the District Allocation Committee
distributed the Div. I Regular Units, Div. I Special Education Units and Div. I Vocational Units
for the 2004-2005 school year based on student enrollment and on the Special Education Funding Pilot." By letter dated December 2, 2004, the School District's counsel acknowledged receipt of your FOIA request and advised that "[d]ocuments responsive to your request are being collected and will be available for review and copying within 5 work days."
You provided us with a memorandum dated December 23, 2004 from Mr. Tom Lapinski, who accompanied you to the School District's offices on December 21, 2004 to review the documents you had requested under FOIA. According to Mr. Lapinski, the School District made approximately 3,700 pages of documents available to you. You allege that you did not find among those documents "any documents showing how the District Allocation Committee distributed Div. I Regular Units, Div. I Special Education Units and Div. I Vocational Units for the 2004-2005 school year, based on student enrollment and on the Special Education Funding Pilot."
According to the School District, the information you requested "is not contained in a single document. Rather, it is contained within the documents the District provided to Mr. Wells for review." The School District itemized the information contained in those documents:
1. DOE Manuals or information on the rules and regulations
under the traditional and Pilot Unit Counts;
2. Reports specifying the number of students enrolled by
regular and Pilot special education categories, by school
and the Division I Units generated by the enrollment;
3. Reports specifying the number of students enrolled in DOE
approved Vocational Courses, and the Division I Units
generated by that enrollment;
4. A summary of the allocations made by the Committee
between August 24, 2004 and September 30, 2004;
5. A summary of the final distribution by the Committee; and
6. Information on the Special Education staffing for the 2003-
2004 school year used by the Committee to help determine
the needs of a particular school.
The School District contends that "[f]rom the documents provided, Mr. Wells could determine, by school, how many of the Division I Units allocated to each school came from student enrollment in Regular Education, Basic, Intensive or Complex Special Education and Vocational courses. In addition, the information provided allowed him to determine the minimum number of Division I Units that the School Principal would be required to staff for Special Education."
The School District, however, "did not create or receive a document specifying the number of Division I Regular, Special, or Vocational staff by school." This is supported by a sworn affidavit from David Blowman, Chief Financial Officer of the Brandywine School District. According to the School District, "[t]he Committee did not allocate Division I Units to the schools by subcategories of Regular, Special, or Vocational Units. It simply allocated Division I Units based upon the total number of Units the District received from all sources of student enrollment. . . . Therefore, any document evidencing the Committee's allocations would only indicate how many Division I Units, in total, were allocated to a school."
Relevant Statutes
FOIA requires that "[a]ll public records shall be open to inspection and copying by any citizen of the State during regular business hours by the custodian of the records for the appropriate public body." 29 Del. C. §10003(a).
Legal Analysis
A. November 26, 2004 FOIA Request: Division I Units
FOIA "does not require a public body to prepare an accounting 'pulling together information from various sources and arranging it in a [requested] format . . . to create a new public record that did not already exist'" Att'y Gen. Op. 03-IB24 (Oct. 30, 2003) (quoting Att'y Gen. Op. 03-IB13 (June 2, 2003)).
For example, in Att'y Gen. Op. 03-IB13 (June 2, 2003) a citizen made a request for information about monies spent for legal expenses. We determined that "FOIA does not require the County to prepare an accounting of the $230,000 transfer from the Executive Contingency Fund to the Law Department. The underlying documents on which an accounting might be prepared, however, are subject to FOIA." See also Att'y Gen. Op. 97-IB06 (Mar. 17, 1997) (FOIA did not require the school district to prepare an accounting of federal and state grant monies where the school district made available "hard-copy documents (such as travel vouchers, purchase orders, expense accounts) evidencing how grant monies were spent").
In Att'y Gen. Op. 02-IB10 (Apr. 24, 2002), a citizen requested an accounting by the school district of costs for advertising and printing. The school district had not already prepared such an accounting, but offered to make available records containing information about those costs. We determined that the school district's "offer to allow [the complainant] to inspect and copy documents that reflect advertising and other costs satisfied the reasonable access requirement of the public records law."
We view your complaint to be that the School District did not compile – in a single document – the data you requested, and did not further break down the data dividing the allocation of Division I Units into categories for Regular Education, Special Education, and Vocational Units. Rather, the School District provided you with the underlying documentation (around 3,700 pages) evidencing how many Division I Units, in total, were allocated to each school. That is all the public records law required the School District to do. FOIA does not dictate the format in which the School District accounts for its money, nor does FOIA require the School District to perform an accounting for you to respond to your FOIA request. By providing you with all of its existing documentation with respect to Division I Units, the School District satisfied the requirements of the public records law.
B. Unequal Treatment
You allege that when you visited the School District's offices on December 20, 2004, the secretary who was facilitating the document inspection told you that on two other occasions the School District had made copies of documents and mailed them to citizens, rather than requiring them to come into the School District's offices, as the School District requires you to do.
We have confirmed with the School District that since it began charging for the costs of copying (50 cents per page), the School District has required all requestors to come to its offices to pick up and pay for the documents, no matter how many or few. That allows citizens the option to inspect the documents first to see what he or she may really want, thus lowering the cost.
According to the School District, in one of the two instances referred to by the secretary, a citizen made a FOIA request for a list of administrators and their titles and salaries. After inspecting the three pages provided at the School District's offices, Mr. Parks decided he only wanted two pages and paid the fee ($1.00). In the second instance referred to by the secretary, an attorney asked for a copy of a roofing construction bond. Consistent with its policy, the School District required the attorney to come down to the School District's offices to inspect all of the documents relating to the bond. After reviewing those documents, the attorney had six pages copied and paid the fee ($3.00).
We determine that there is no evidence in the record to support your allegation that the School District is imposing different, more onerous procedures on you than on other citizens when responding to requests for access to public records.
For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the School District did not violate FOIA by denying you the right to inspect and copy public records. The School District provided you with access to all of its documentation regarding Division I Units. FOIA does not require the School District to compile data from those documents in a special format you requested. In processing your FOIA request, we determine that the School District did not treat you differently than other citizens in following its written policies on responding to a request for access to public records.
Very truly yours,
W. Michael Tupman

Well, I have to agree that I am not yet sure whether this separation is actually necessary. For me, this is a means to get a clearer idea of what is actually going on - especially in the context of weird stuff like the conversion of internal defines into letrecs and so on. And, it is actually quite simple to do this separation while doing the separation of memoization from execution. Maybe it makes sense to combine some of the steps later on. But, on the other hand, it may also be beneficial to have such a separation later, in order to be able to insert an optional optimization step between expansion and memoization. Best regards, Dirk

I was immediately suspicious, you'll notice the trees and other vegetation in the photograph are standing straight up as if there wasn't a whisper of breeze.
Jeff Hutton, warning coordination meteorologist for the Dodge City office of the National Weather Service, calls the formation "a very spectacular supercell thunderstorm with a tremendous collar cloud."
But it's no tornado.

By DEREK MOORE
Democratic State Sen. Noreen Evans' increasingly bare-knuckles political style is earning her blowback from members of her own party, some of whom nearly derailed two of the senator's bills that affect fishing interests on the North Coast.
The rift stems from an Aug. 31 email Evans circulated to female members of the Legislature in which the Santa Rosan pointedly criticized an assemblyman for allegedly "hijacking" her legislation and included a link to a story about a 2007 police action at the man's home.
Evans was further outraged that Assemblyman Roger Hernández, D-West Covina, had hosted what her email referred to as a "Hooters luncheon" at the Capitol, a reference to the restaurant chain that features waitresses dressed in revealing clothes.
"Not only is it demeaning to women on the Capitol grounds, but this is the same Assemblymember that hijacked my maternal health care bill and to whom the speaker is forcing me to give half of the bill," Evans wrote in the email, which was obtained by The Press Democrat.
Even by Sacramento's rough-and-tumble standards, Evans' missive caused a stir, leading to a mini-revolt on the Assembly floor last week when several Democratic lawmakers withheld votes on Evans' two bills related to salmon and crab fishing.
Only a last-minute intervention by other lawmakers salvaged the bills. But the political fallout could be longer-lasting.
"The email was personal and attacking," Sonoma State University political scientist David McCuan said. "If you're going to cast stones within your caucus, you better be prepared for those to come back."
Neither Evans nor her chief of staff, Tom Roth, responded to several phone calls and emails left over two days this week seeking comment.
Political observers say Evans is playing a risky political game with her bruising style amid speculation that she will enter the race to replace outgoing Sonoma County Supervisor Valerie Brown.
Evans faced withering public criticism earlier this year when she complained about having to give up her taxpayer-funded vehicle and about nearly having her pay docked because of the state's delayed budget.
McCuan said the public criticism and battles Evans is having with members of her own party could trail her to Sonoma County should she decide to seek Brown's seat.
"Could she run down and win? Sure. I think she's a favorite," McCuan said. "But these things hurt her in that regard, and they don't go away."
Mark Bramfitt, who also is a candidate for Brown's seat, confirmed this week that he has split with Santa Rosa political consultant Terry Price, who for years has worked with Evans.
"He indicated that he had some loyalty to Evans and that she was thinking about a run," Bramfitt said. "So clearly we had to part ways."
But Price on Wednesday insisted he does not know if Evans will enter the supervisor's race. He said Bramfitt had heard those rumors and asked Price whether he would be able to run a campaign against Evans should she decide to run.
"I said I'm not going to run a campaign against Noreen Evans. Are you kidding me? We go back 20 years," Price said.
The email that sparked the latest controversy involving Evans was sent from her official Senate account to about 25 female legislators, mostly to their private accounts.
In the email, Evans included a post from a Capitol blogger who said Hernández had hosted a "Hooters catered lunch," which the blog author found ironic because Hernández was the sponsor of a bill dealing with maternity leave rights.
But Yong Eo, Hernández's press aide, called suggestions that the assemblyman hosted a Hooters luncheon "an unfortunate example of a situation taken out of context and getting blown out of proportion."
She said that he left the food choices for the potluck to his staff and that, in hindsight, "clearly it was bad judgment on our part to serve Hooters chicken wings that we picked up to go, with ranch sauce."
She called it "absurd to think that our office would serve a luncheon in the Capitol with staff from the Hooters franchise."
The blog post also included a link to a news story about a 2007 incident in which West Covina police responded to Hernández' home for a reported argument between the then-West Covina councilman and his campaign manager.
Hernández, through his staff, declined comment Wednesday on the case. No charges were filed against him related to those events, said a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Evans, chairwoman of the state Legislative Women's Caucus, has not been shy about criticizing colleagues who she believes have demeaned women. In May, she took such concerns public when she formally demanded an apology from Assemblyman Charles Calderon, D-Whittier, after Calderon referred to the physical appearance and personality of the chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
McCuan said female legislators long have had to battle discrimination in Sacramento.
"Noreen has been consistently front and center battling for women's issues for a long time now," he said.
But some of Evans' colleagues privately lament her approach to tackling these concerns, saying it can be counterproductive to getting things done in what already is a poisonous political atmosphere.
Hernández also declined comment Wednesday on his reaction to Evans' email, which apparently was forwarded to him. Capitol sources, however, said he was livid and he shared that outrage with other members of the Latino caucus, leading to last week's drama on the Assembly floor.
Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, said it became "evident pretty quickly" that something was amiss when Evans' bills came up for a vote.
One of the bills would extend the Salmon Stamp Program. The other would follow recommendations from the Dungeness Crab Task Force to address safety and sustainability concerns in California's crab fishery.
Huffman said the bills were not controversial, hence everyone's puzzlement when they appeared to be falling short of the necessary votes for passage.
"Both bills were way off," Huffman said.
He characterized the problem as "a dispute between some members and the author" and said, "thankfully, it got worked out at the last minute."
Huffman lamented the practice of lawmakers holding bills hostage for reasons unrelated to the contents of the proposed legislation.
"I think it's unfortunate when there are votes being cast or withheld for reasons unrelated to the merits of the bill," he said. "I don't think it reflects well on the institution."
Hernández ultimately voted for the fishing bills, according to his staff.
He and Evans also are splitting legislation that would widen insurance coverage for pregnant women.
Evans apparently is not happy with that outcome, writing in her email that the deal was "forced" on her by Assembly Speaker John Pérez, D-Los Angeles, who did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
Both bills passed the Legislature and are now on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk.
"We hope that the governor will sign them so that women can receive maternity services as a form of basic coverage," Hernández's aide Eo said.
We HAVE bought and paid for this woman, at the Water Agency…DO NOT deficate on our money! The end is near for you little pawns, only relatives of the inept and corrut will survive.

She's better not accept that position in the O'Bama administration.
They treat women like scum in his White House.
Of course, it's the Chicago Way.
And to a guy raised as a Muslim, women are slightly lower than pondscum, so who's really surprised.
Noreen, get your burka and head for D.C.!

Money Grubber, it was a one time payout. Whick means that CHP screwed up somewhere dealing with the officer and was forced to pay a settlement. Since it is a personnel isue, no one can disclose the particulars of the deal. Please read all the article you quote next time.

For Hernandez to hold up two apparently worthy bills out of apparent spite in this tempest in a teapot was ridiculous.
Our fishing industry deserves better than being held for ransom.

"The highest-earning California Highway Patrol employee last year wasn't a commissioner, chief or captain, but an officer stationed in San Diego County who took home $226,195, according to a review by The Watchdog of the state's 2010 payroll."
Notice that she never says a word about the criminally excessive wages paid to state police ? The cop in the above example even refuses to answer questions as to how his salary was increased for UN-DISCLOSED reasons.

After my last comment, I had given some thought about it last night and came to a conclusion that maybe it's not all Noreen's fault. This could be a medical issue, as I had stated before that "Noreen had put her foot in her mouth so often this year. I imagine she may need to be treated for athlete's mouth." HMMMMMM fungus from foot to mouth to brain?
23 5
Noreen pissed people off by complaining (whining , crying)about her compensation and perks. If she doesn't like her compensation, she can step down. There are thousands of others that will happily take her job with her exorbitant compensation package.
And yes, people and the press are very scared of strong independent women – See Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman and Michele Bachmann
27 7
I am by no means any fan of Noreen Evans. But I do have to say that Paul Andersen is right on the money with this one- Men STILL are threatened by strong women, especially women in leadership positions. Been there, done that ;)
I think Evans is a dolt, but gender discrimination is alive and well all around us. If a man is opinionated, aggressive, and assertive, he is considered a great leader. A woman with those same qualities is considered a hag or a "b!tch". Very few males understand this… Why? They've never experienced it. Women are expected to be motherly, nurturing, and be in charge of nothing but the household.
And Gram'ah: "attacking a man for being a man" Are you KIDDING ME? If you're going to excuse offensive inappropriate behavior based on gender, why not give Evans that same free pass? Pathetic…
11 20
Come now. She is attacking a man for being a man, while trying to include other women in the attack, every woman in the senate, in fact, and exclude other men from being involved. This is obviously gender bias of a virulent form. It's not just simple bigotry. It suggests an agenda of hate in an elected official.Is this what we want in our leaders and representatives?
23 7
As evidenced by the article and its numerous comments, apparently many men still feel threatened by strong women. Wow.
12 38
The sad truth is: if the elections were held tomorrow, the PD would endorse Noreen and the voters would reelect her.
18 8
Noreen Evans killed a bill that would stop the abusive ADA lawsuits that are a scam to extract thousands from small businesses.
She is the epitome of a bought and paid for politician.
45 6
This 'Witch'-feminist wants a war with men. If she is very unlucky she'll get her wish.
37 13
LOL!!! How many times has Noreen put her foot in her mouth this year. I imagine she will be treated for athlete's mouth soon!

Martini, I'll drink to that.

So another angry,bitter old Femi-Nut threw a vindictive temper tantrum cause she didn't get her way,and then decided to play the Gender Card.
Shocked I tell you…shocked.
Them Hooter wings sure sound good right now.
45 14
Good to see someone stand up to the good old boys in Sacramento. Hernández should be ashamed for holding up bills because he was call on his hooters wings.
Keep fighting the entrenched system Noreen!
15 58
The photo of Evans and this article sum up the kind of self-important, often-vicious, and clueless legislators that are routinely elected by California voters simply because they place a D by their name. Totally ludicrous.
Anyone who votes for these kind of people deserves the sad consequences of their own stupidity. When will Sonoma County quit hitting itself in the head with a hammer?
50 11
Evans is following in the footsteps of her predecessor, Pat Wiggins who also became loopy while in the State Senate
representing Santa Rosa.
Outbursts and angering fellow Senators is not the way of the chamber and certainly not the way to get a bill passed.
It is too bad she can't have a cigar and a glass of brandy with the other liberals up there and kiss and make up. But that isn't her way. She would rather fight than submit.
She would make a good bookend on the Board of Stupidvisors setting across from the other loony, Zany. Lets hope that never happens even though it would create good theater.
Isn't there a reasonable person to run for political office in Santa Rosa who would not be an embarrassment every time they open their mouth? I haven't seen one in one of the state offices.
45 10
Why oh why didn't we get a good Democrat like Mike Martini ? Even he is disgusted with the Sonoma County voters choices.
Will we ever elect a decent rep ? Ever ?
37 13
Taking up where Pat Wiggens left off??
42 10
To honor the hard work and dedication of Noreen Evans, I will be eating lunch at Hooter's today in Anchorage, Alaska.

"One of the bills would extend the Salmon Stamp Program. The other would follow recommendations from the Dungeness Crab Task Force to address safety and sustainability concerns in California's crab fishery"
Glad to see that they are proposing bills that matter to the people and not to lobbying groups who pay them under the table.
47 5
Another career politician that needs to get a real job.
Thank you, Noreen. You can go home now.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." -C.S. Lewis

Name: Sivak Drac
Version: 1.0
Compatibility: UT2004
Description: Well, here's my favorite DM map from Quake: Q1DM6 - The Dark Zone! I upgraded it from my old UT2003 version and it's good to go. Lots of fast-paced rocket action will take place, though naturally the other arsenal is available. U-Damage in place of the invisibility as UT2004 has no such pickup.
I've seen a telefrag almost each game. That did happen quite often with the original map. I liked when I won a botmatch with the final kill being a telefrag.
With this done, half of the Q1 DM maps are finished (by me). DM5 will be pretty easy to upgrade.

Militia (cs_militia) is a hostage rescue map that appears in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike (Xbox), Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Counter-Strike: Source, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Official BriefingEdit
Counter-Strike and Condition ZeroEdit
Militia - Hostage Rescue by Andrew Aumann
Counter-Terrorists: Enter Cliffe's Compound to rescue the hostages. Take out the Terrorists without jeopardizing the hostages.
Terrorists: Prevent Counter-Terrorist force from rescuing the hostages.
Other Notes: There are 4 hostages in the mission and one floater.
Counter-Strike: SourceEdit
Counter-Terrorists: The whereabouts of a militia group that kidnapped four individuals last week has been disclosed by one of our informants. Enter the militia hideout and rescue the hostages or eliminate the terrorist threat entirely.
Terrorists: One of our lookouts has spotted several APC's making their way towards our base. Protect our hostages and eliminate the intruders!
Other Notes: There are 4 hostages in the mission and one floater.
Development HistoryEdit
Counter-Strike 1.6Edit
In Counter-Strike version 1.6, cs_militia consisted of textures that were taken from the original Half-Life game. There were very few sewer entryways that players can use as the sewers connected between the CT Spawn Zone and the Back yard of the house. More importantly, the sewers area nearby the backyard had operating Security camera that overlooked the important sections of the map. Crates were found in many places of the map and there was a shooting range in the yard, including a jacuzzi in the side yard. Furthermore, the interior of the house was fairly plain as there were not that many props.
Counter-Strike: Condition ZeroEdit
Regarding the map, the notable differences between Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero includes: The sewer has less light, more accessible openings, and is more simplifed as it no longer contains the room with the security cameras and crates, the Jacuzzi has been removed and replaced with a hole in CZ. There is a helicopter above the Counter-Terrorist spawn zone (and the hostage rescue point). A ramp has been placed nearby one of the entrances to the sewers near the CT spawn area. The floor, walls, and ceilings of the house has a wooden texture and the shooting range at the backyard has been removed.
Counter-Strike: SourceEdit
Militia in Counter-Strike: Source is completely different from the original Counter Strike version.
Rather than taking place in a canyon like the past maps, this version takes place in a forest and the house is made of red wood rather than concrete. There is also an easter egg in the skybox for this map. If one was to fly towards the skybox, they would see an HD render of the Turtle Rock Studios against a barn.
Counter-Strike: Global OffensiveEdit
Militia was officially added after a update of CS:GO at March 21, 2013. The map layout is similar to CS: Source version but remade completely in some areas for additional cover. It is more balanced for the Counter-Terrorist team, unlike in previous titles when they were easily pinned down by Terrorist snipers. Based on the appearance of some chickens, farm equipment such as tractors, barns, corn fields, and grain silos, the conflict is taking place in a farm somewhere in the countryside of America (possibly, in the Midwest).
The Counter-Terrorists for this map are the FBI and the Terrorists are the Phoenix Connexion.
Main Article: Militia/Tips and tricks
- Main article: Militia/Gallery
Front YardEdit
- Militia is available in all versions of Counter-Strike series.
- In Counter Strike 1.6, CT bots who are escorting the hostages may have extreme difficulty in navigating through the map. This happens particularly when a CT leaves the house through the attic window (located above the garage) and/or travels through the sewers. As a result, the hostages may not be able to follow the CT thus leading to time being wasted. When this occurs, so much time will pass that the duration of the round will run out and the terrorists will win by default. This problem has been fixed in Counter Strike: Condition Zero as the hostages have a better A.I. guidence system and can interact with their environment (such as being able to climb ladders and crouch to access certain areas when necessary).
- In CS 1.6, the lights in the underground pipe can be disabled by using a switch near the CT spawn zone.
- There are several security cameras at the one of the ends of the underground sewers.
- In the bathroom (located near the Terrorist spawn zone), if a player shoots at the toilet's plank in the toilet sufficiently, it will explode but will not harm players.
- Militia is one of the most heavily changed maps in the Counter-Strike franchise.

So it begins
Our eyes drawn open,
Free from the thought of doubt,
Free from the selfish conflict.
Now blind these words,
Chase us.
With open arms we stand,
Before the dawn.
The sun seems to have been rising,
Ever since I can recall,
Branding a sense of permanence,
To this lying world.
Your words like icy air,
You lies like merciless, burning flesh.
To hope for something more,
To dream of substance.
Like a martyr before us,
We need to die.
Like a martyr before us,
We dream to die.
Masochistic to think,
This would be remembered (would be remembered).
Sadistic, perpetuation
Of stagnation.
There is nothing as empty,
As waiting to die.
We've spent our lives,
Wasting, as time eats us alive.
Your sunsets go on be-falling,
Ever since I can recall.
The only sense,
Of permanence,
In this dying world.
Sit back and watch,
As time eats us alive.
Everyone who know me,
Know me.
Destined to die,
The marks I left upon this world,
Will wash away,
in time.
In time,
And so it ends.
In time,
It all finds an end.
In time,
And so it ends.
In time,
We all find an end.
With broken arms,
And hollow eyes,
I'll wait to return to oblivion.
Embrace our last,
Empty horizon.
Embrace our last,
Horizons. - Tags:

Java volatile keyword explained by example
volatile is probably the less known/understood/documented keyword in Java. I have recently read an article on one of my favourite blog about the volatile keyword. The author shows a piece of code where the volatile keyword seems to have an influence. This example was not easy to understand and the role of the volatile keyword on the behaviour of the JVM was not really defined. So I have decided to browse the web to find a better code example for the volatile keyword. After one hour, nothing! Only wrong examples, articles comparing volatile with synchronized and other confused examples where the author seems as lost as the reader...
Basic Example
The following show a basic example where volatile is required
public class VolatileTest { private static final Logger LOGGER = MyLoggerFactory.getSimplestLogger(); private static volatile int MY_INT = 0; public static void main(String[] args) { new ChangeListener().start(); new ChangeMaker().start(); } static class ChangeListener extends Thread { @Override public void run() { int local_value = MY_INT; while ( local_value < 5){ if( local_value!= MY_INT){ LOGGER.log(Level.INFO,"Got Change for MY_INT : {0}", MY_INT); local_value= MY_INT; } } } } static class ChangeMaker extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { int local_value = MY_INT; while (MY_INT <5){ LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, "Incrementing MY_INT to {0}", local_value+1); MY_INT = ++local_value; try { Thread.sleep(500); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } }
With the volatile keyword the output is :
Incrementing MY_INT to 1 Got Change for MY_INT : 1 Incrementing MY_INT to 2 Got Change for MY_INT : 2 Incrementing MY_INT to 3 Got Change for MY_INT : 3 Incrementing MY_INT to 4 Got Change for MY_INT : 4 Incrementing MY_INT to 5 Got Change for MY_INT : 5
Without the volatile keyword the output is :
Incrementing MY_INT to 1 Incrementing MY_INT to 2 Incrementing MY_INT to 3 Incrementing MY_INT to 4 Incrementing MY_INT to 5.....And the change listener loop infinitely...
So what happens? Each thread has its own stack, and so its own copy of variables it can access. When the thread is created, it copies the value of all accessible variables in its own memory. The volatile keyword is used to say to the jvm "Warning, this variable may be modified in an other Thread". Without this keyword the JVM is free to make some optimizations, like never refreshing those local copies in some threads. The volatile force the thread to update the original variable for each variable. The volatile keyword could be used on every kind of variable, either primitive or objects! Maybe the subject of another article, more detailed...
Never used volatile and never met this problem...Like all threads issues, it happens under specials circumstances. Really special for this one... My example has big chances to show mainly because the ChangeListener thread is busy, thanks to the loop, and the JVM consider that this thread has no time for updating the local variables. Executing some synchronized methods or adding an other variable which is volatile (or even executing some simple lines of code) could modify the JVM behavior and "correct" this problem...
Should I do a big refactor to identify all variables who needs volatile?
Be pragmatic! If you think your project needs it, do it. I think that the essential is to be aware of that, to know what is the goal of each keyword of the java language in order to take the good decisions.

Balázs Bessenyei replied on Fri, 2012/06/22 - 4:24pm
Good article however I would like to make a few additions.
The above example and behavior is only true for JDK 1.5 and up.
Volatile is noway a replacement of synchronized keyword. It only deals with shared data visibility between threads.
The typical use case is simple signaling between threads. One thread sets the signal and the others are only read it.
It will not solve the problem caused by multiple thread updating the same variable, even if it is declared volatile.
It is not safe to use variables marked with it to generate unique ids from multiple threads (++ and -- are not atomic). Use the Atomic wrapper classes (AtomicInteger, AtomicLong and AtomicReference) instead.
The example code is using the signaling ability, however it is easy to mistake it as safe unique id generator solution.

Oh, I did't know for JDK 1.4! Anyway I hope that no one is still using the JDK4 (I mean the JVM, not the language...). Good point though.
I did not want to speak about synchronized in this article to keep it short. I will probably talk about synchronized and atomic types/operations in a following article.
Thanks for your constructive comment Balázs !

// Works with acquire/release semantics for volatile // Broken under Java 1.4 and earlier semantics for volatile class Foo { private volatile Helper helper = null; public Helper getHelper() { Helper result = helper; if (result == null) { synchronized(this) { result = helper; if (result == null) { helper = result = new Helper(); } } } return result; } // other functions and members... }
