Golden Beach in Chrissi island |
Beaches in Makrigialos |
Chrissi is a relatively small, exotic island, a tiny paradise, 8 miles or 13km south of Ierapetra city. Here you see, a very small part of the most popular among the many beautiful beaches of the island. Golden Beach lies on the northern coast of Chrissi island and it is called also Belegrina beach. The Golden beach took its name from the light color of the sand, which cover the larger part of the island, offering to the sea a fabulous turquoise color. The Golden beach is one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete and of Greece generally. The white sand is created by billions of shells, getting "rubben" for thousands of years. Before 25 years ago, you could still sea billions of shells, but now there are lot less, because of the visitors collecting whole bags of them during the last decades. Golden Beach photo gallery: Chrissi Island Chrissi Island is located, as said before, 13 km southwards of Ierapetra, Eastern Crete. The people of Ierapetra just call it ' Island ' as there is a special bond among them and Chrissi. Every summer, from the midst of May until the end of September, small boats depart daily from the port of Ierapetra to go to the island. In the Libyan sea you journey along with sea-gulls whereas it's rare (but still possible) to see dolphins around. After almost an hour trip the boats arrive to the south end of the island, which is usually less windy. The disembarkation is made on the 'vougiou's eye' spot, where there is a small wharf and the reception.The excursions on the island are a-day-long, so the visitors have plenty of time to tour on the paths of Chrissi, to dive in the blue-green sea and have lunch in the kiosk of the municipality of Ierapetra . The grand relief Chrissi is an almost flat island, which has an average altitude of 10metres only. When watched from far away it appears as a thin strip of earth that stands out of the sea. It has a maximum length of 5 km and width of 1 km . Its highest spot is east, it's called Kefala and it is 31m high. There you can find the forestall guard house, which has a view of the whole island. Almost 700m east of Chrissi there is 'Mikronisi', which is a rocky island about 117 m2. The sea around the islands is quite shallow. In a spread about 1km north and 500m south is no deeper than 100m, while in the distance from Chrissi to Mikronisi the sea is about 5m deep. The rocks and the ground The basic rocks of Chrissi were made from the concretion of lava , which was surged out of an undersea volcano millions of years ago . By walking on the surface of the island, the visitor will be impressed by the colors of the rocks (maroon, grey-green, black). The larger part of the island is covered by sand. On the flat parts, the ground is fairly solid and is composed by thin grains of sand, which on a large amount are covered by leeches. On the parts of the island where there are sand hills, the sand is yellow and fat-grained. There, the sand is restrained by the roots of the cedar trees and by their leafage (which touches the ground) as well. The fossils All the fossils (49 kinds, shells, corals, sea urchins) that have been found on the island come from the sea. They were on the volcanic rocks about 350.000 to 70.000 years ago, when Chrissi was still underwater. The north coasts of the island are filled with shells. Especially on the east end of the north beach they are so many, that this becomes the main characteristic of the island. Flora and fauna The flora and the fauna of Chrissi have a very large variety if compared to the size of the island (the dominating ones are the cedar, the cypress bush, the lentisk, which are in a form of tree and bush as well, and sand-friendly vegetation). The cedar forest of Chrissi is quite rare in structure and length for the Greek standards. It is about 350 m 2 and the density of the cedar trees is about 14 trees per m 2 . It is consisted of age-long trees with an average age from 200 to 300 years, height up to 10 meters and diameter which reaches almost one whole meter. Cedar trees have a root system which develops in a rage at least twice their height! Besides their large roots, they have a huge amount of really thin roots which create a complex that restrains the sand. The number of the floral kinds of Chrissi is very large compared to the size of the island, and corresponds to 1/20 of the Cretan flora! Those kinds, which you can find on the island of Chrissi , are rare on the coasts of the south Europe and unique all over the world. In the sea area around Chrissi the variety and the population of the sea fauna increases just because the water is not deep. An area about six times the island (30km 2 ) surrounds it, without being deeper than 20 m. Most of animal kinds on the island have a Mediterranean spread. Therefore, none of them is dangerous for the people. The sea turtle Caretta caretta has been observed many times on the island, but without a report of birthing. There have been totally reported about 120 kinds of birds, in their majority migrants, which find food and rest on the island to continue their journey afterwards. In the recent years there have been imported rabbits, hares and partridges on the island by the habitants of the opposite coast. The hares ceased to exist, while there is being an effort to remove the rabbits as well. Aforetime, the Mediterranean seal (Monachus monachus) came out of the sea to wonder around on the beaches of the island. Today, it rarely makes an appearance and only the place name 'Fokospilio' (it means the cave of the seals) on the northwest end of Chrissi reminds us of its frequent visits. History During the last centuries Chrissi is uninhabited, but before that there were small dorps around the island. On the west and east side of the island the activity that was developed during Minoan times is obvious. On the northwest side there is a church of st. Nicolas, which was probably built around the 13 th century. On the northeast of the church there is an old saltern and the only house on the island, which is built on ancient facilities. On the south and southwest of the church there are several wells and graves. The bigger one is from Roman times. Tour The total length of the paths on the island is about 10 km , which is about a three hour walk . The only things you will need in order to tour around the island are snickers , a hat , sun protection and water , which are necessary to protect yourself from the high temperatures during the summer . The visitor, who doesn't want to walk much, can enjoy the azure sea by the beach right next to the arriving area or right opposite of it, on the north beach of the island, which is a five minute walk only. The maintenance of the natural environment of Chrissi, past the moral obligations, is also commanded by a strict national and European protection system. So, it is not allowed Any form of pollution Visitors outside the restricted area ( paths and beaches ) C ollecting rocks, fossils, shells or ancient findings Collecting animals or plants Free camping Lighting a fire Smoking around bushes or trees Chrissi island photo gallery: Tags:

Walking around O'Hare during a long layover, I walked into one of the Duty Free shops and started to try some of the fragrances that I had not seen before. I threw away all the sample slips that I did not like, but this one stayed with me. I kept smelling the sample and could not get it out of my mind. It smells fresh, clean, and luxurious. It was expensive. I am thankful that FragranceX carries it. I just received it and cannot say enough about how excited I am to wear it.

Comments about Versace Versense Perfume:
In our busy lives filled with sights, sounds and smells from the world around us, it is most often the smells that subtly affect our moods and attitudes. We have found that Versace Versense is that perfect citrusy blend of aromas. It is sweet, but not sugary, spicy with a kick and yet soft and aluring. When I kiss her neck it invites further inspection and my senses are hightened as I find that fragrance hidden in other places of her body!

Can not speak highly enough of Matthew Fussey or Fussey's Removals. They were simply excellent. I had to move at short notice so was expecting a really mad experience, however Matthew and his team made the whole move easy and simple. They provided boxes and tape, offered a packing service and got everything done with minimal fuss, on time and on budget. I felt I could trust them with anything and will definitely use them again.

GIBA Meeting |
Though several people spoke at Wednesday's bridge meeting for prospective fixed bridge contractors, the message was clear: Keep traffic moving throughout the project.
The October 5 meeting brought together 11 firms who are bidding on the dual-bridge contract. It was explained to them in several different ways that they would be maneuvering around Boca Grande's busy "season," which runs from February to May.
"We have to keep traffic moving, because if we don't, we are all going to hear about it," said Paul Wingard, the south Florida regional manager for Kisinger, Campo and Associates. "There will be a very short stage where there will be one-way traffic."
Tom Shaw, general consultant for the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority, explained that the existing south bridge is in dire straits. He said because there is some urgency in completing that project, the temporary bridge needs to be erected within 120 days from the Notice to Proceed. The bridge will be leased by the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority from the state of Florida, and the chosen contractor will, in turn, reimburse GIBA.
Completion of the total south bridge project is scheduled for one calendar year from the Notice to Proceed, and the center bridge replacement is scheduled to be completed 600 days from the Notice to Proceed.
When one contractor asked how much creative leeway was allowed in the fixed bridge construction, Mike Albano from DRMP, the company who is designing the bridges, explained:
"There's a lot of different ways you can approach this project. I asked five contractors how they would do it and I got five different answers. But the geometry established here has been through a rigorous public involvement in a highly-political area … and they're expecting this," he said, tapping on the prototype photograph of the new fixed bridge systems.
Prices are due from all the bidders by November 10. The bridge authority selection committee will meet on November 14, and the winner of the contract will be announced on November 17.
The Notice to Proceed is scheduled for February 14, 2012.

Home to some of London's most famous institutions —the Houses of Parliament (Big Ben), Westminster Abbey, and Tate Britain— Westminster is busy by day and quiet by night. Buckingham Palace is located across lovely St. James's Park; Whitehall leads to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery, passing 10 Downing Street and the Queen's mounted troops at Horse Guards on the way. The streets around Victoria Station offer hotels to suit all budgets.

"Close to main Victoria Station"
Great stay - the owners and staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. While the reviews for the Brasserie food were good, to my personal taste the best meals were at breakfast - the poached eggs were always perfect ! The hotel was about a 5 minute from to the Victoria Train / Underground / Rail station - so very convenient to get to all the main […] sights. The single beds were quite comfortable, pillows okay, and the room while small was one of the larger rooms for our floor and met our needs nicely. The only issue was an overcharge for a meal that we did not have - check your invoice before paying !! Trying to resolve this. Overall - I would definitely recommend this hotel for a holiday in London. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"Convenient access to London Sights"
The hotel is a charming B&B that is conveniently located close to Victoria Station and London sights. Our room was quaint overlooking Warwick Way which was not too busy. The room did not have air conditioning and we were there during a heatwave in September but the fan in the room was adequate to be comfortable. The breakfast was included and was traditional […] cooked English or Continental was lovely and we had dinner which was also lovely though a bit pricey. We had room service after seeing "Billy Elliot" and it was delicious. The hotel's owners met us on arrival and gave us tips for sight seeing and travelling. We had a wonderful stay and would most certainly stay there again. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"Great Boutique London Hotel"
The Windermere is less than a mile - walking - from Victoria station. My daughter (18) and I stayed there for 5 nights in August, 2013. We like the smaller, boutique hotels and this is one of the best we have enjoyed. The staff was terrific - and Juan in particular. He was helpful on all fronts - directions, suggestions, etc. Our room was a queen/king […] with en suite and was a nice size, very clean and a great fan to help regulate the temperature at night. The full breakfast was a treat and the quality was excellent. It was also safe for my daughter and I to walk back to at night. London can be a very pricey place to stay, so this moderately priced hotel with lots of little amenities was just right for us. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Convenient Westminster location"
Very clean hotel with a convenient location. The staff was helpful and friendly and the made to order breakfast was fantastic. Bathroom was renovated and very nice. It is in a residential neighbourhood with no pleasing view from our room. At the price we paid (for a London hotel) we did not expect a view so we were not disappointed and we just kept […] the blinds closed. The "King" bed is two singles put together and was not very comfortable. I would recommend they invest in a new king bed to make the sleep more comfortable.

"quaint hotel"
The dining room and air conditioning in the rooms were the only let down. The dining room cannot handle the volume of the hotel at breakfast and air conditioning would have been useful, the room was hot in our Summer stay. The treatment was quite good by staff although the hotel policy seems to revolve around getting guests into the hotel over guest […] support in cases where the two conflict. The desk was unmanned to take guests to rooms leaving people at the door waiting to be let in while unmanned, Therefore a bit understaffed. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Lovely hotel close to Victoria Station"
Very nice hotel. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Small rooms but very clean and comfortable. Included breakfast is a plus. Dinner was very good (extra).

"We're Having a Heatwave"
The hotel staff informed us that rooms are being retroactively fitted with AC; during a London heatwave, ground floor accommodations without air-conditioning really aren't acceptable. A fan was provided and the window to the immediately adjacent sidewalk and parking had been opened prior to our arrival, but we did not feel comfortable with the idea […] of sleeping with it open. Otherwise, all was well. Breakfast was lovely, served in the cooler basement dining room. Staff was very forthcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for us on the last day of our trip we spent the morning at the Tate Britain gallery and hopped our plane at Heathrow. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Great hotel, Great Location"
We had a great stay! I loved the location between the Sloan Square and Victoria tube stations, the rooms were clean and comfortable and nicely updated, and there were no hidden extra charges. I loved the size of the hotel; large enough to have night staff, but small enough to feel friendly.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"A great little hotel!"
This is an excellent, well-run hotel. The owners and staff are all friendly and obliging and an excellent cooked breakfast is included. The area is mostly other hotels and is very quiet. There are 1 or 2 pubs, but if you like a bit of action you won't find it in this area. The hotel is quite a fair walk from Victoria national rail, underground and coach […] station but we didn't mind the walk. However if you don't or can't walk, something closer to the tube might be better. There was also no minibar or fridge in the room. This may be a drawback for some. Generally, we loved this place and highly recommend it. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Very Nice"
We stayed one night at the Windmere Hotel before our flight out of London. Although we weren't there very long, we were satisfied with our stay and would stay again. The hotel itself is in an interesting building and has a lot of character. That being said, rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs, which could be a problem […] for travelers who have problems walking. The surrounding neighborhood is nice, with a lot of other hotels, pubs, and restaurants nearby. The included breakfast was excellent, and I would highly recommend it, even if you did have to pay. The staff were friendly and helpful and made our return journey to Heathrow painless.

This hotel is not a 4 starts, first does not have air condition, the room were of course small, but since they don't have Air condition and do not open the windows the smell is not very good.

I would stay here again. besides we were first 2 nights at the […] luxury room and then after the cruise another in a stand room, and the rooms were the same just the only different was the floor one in the first floor and the other in the second floor. They only have one computer for the business center which was just a mini small open room. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Close to Kings Cross/St. Pancreas"
I checked in early and my room was ready with a smile. This is a perfect location if you need to get to or from the tube or international train station- a two minute walk and I felt safe as a single woman. It's a less pricey hotel and so you get what you pay for- it would be great for the budget traveller. The only drawback: there were some blood stains […] on the sheets.

Small room but fine for one person on a short stay. Good location - near Victoria but quiet. Room hot (it was a warm night) and although there was a powerful fan this was noisy for a light sleeper.

"Nice hotel in quiet but convient location"
The Windermere is a short walk from Victoria Station (Underground, train and bus stations), Sloane Square and Chelsea. The neighborhood is a residential area -- very safe to walk around at anytime. We had a corner room, with windows on both sides overlooking the street, providing nice cross ventilation. By English standards the room was spacious. I […] recommend requesting one of the corner rooms. The included breakfast was ample with made-to-order eggs and breakfast meats as options. Dry cereal and croissants are also available. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They made restaurant reservations and booked the airport shuttle for us. One tip: instead of using a taxi or the Underground, take the shuttle to Heathrow. The shuttle provides door-to-door service, is comfortable and only costs 28 pounds for a couple. Another tip: if your stay will be several days buy an Oyster Card for the Underground and bus service. There is a refundable 5 pound deposit and the card provides for a 50% discount for each trip (2 pounds rather 4). The Oyster Cards can be purchased at any Underground station.

Graduates who studied business and management degrees are amongst the most valuable. All jobs are set within some kind of business model; even if they are in the public or third sector there is a business model used to ensure goals are acheived and tasks completed on time and to budget.
There a wide selection of sectors open to those who studied business and management at university. Obviously there are management roles but have you ever thought about HR, logistics or buying and merchandising? These are just a few of the sectors available to someone who has a degree in a business and/or management related subject.
The reason that so many sectors and graduate jobs are available with a degree of this type is because it gives you a host of transferable skills that can be used in nearlly all work environments. At the heart of the skill set is logical, tactical and most importantly, productive thinking with a good grasp of mathematics. From this you could expect to work in any department from finance to recruitment but you will always be employing those key skills that you adopted from your degree - time, task and people management.
What department you enter will naturally dictate where your graduate career takes you so it's tough to say exactly where a business and management graduate will head. However, most graduate employers take on these people with a view for accelerated progression; after a year you could expect a promotion and if you continue to produce results then another soon after that. What many business and management graduates find is that no matter what sector or department they work in they can move back into a key management role later down the line if they wish.
The cons of having a business and management degree are few but are worth keeping in mind so that you can compensate for them as best as possible. The main downside is that there are many graduates with a similar or same degree meaning that you have a lot of competition to beat. For this reason it means making sure your CV, covering letters and applications are on top form in order to bag yourself an interview.
One other problem is that the degree is not very specific. This is a double-edged sword because as you can see above, I have been listing all the reasons why this is a great thing. Yes, it means there are a lot of doors open to you, but it means you have to prove that you're good enough just a little bit more in order to get through one of them.
For your first role expect the usual graduate salary of £18,000 to £23,000. As you improve, learn and demonstrate your productivity you can expect to quickly increase this to nearer the £30,000 mark and once you have a a decent management role where you are fully in charge of a team/department this will be £40-50k.
No company or organisation can exist, flourish and succeed unless they have decent managers and business minds. If you have concise knowledge of business and management from a business and management degree then have a look at the range of jobs below to find an ideal position for you where you can aid a company in their business and management future by joining their business and management team.

Welcome to the new Virtual Shanghai platform!
Virtual Shanghai has migrated onto a newly designed platform that will offer extended functions for research and writing. Beyond the aesthetic transformation -- we hope you will enjoy the new look -- we actually implemented a major overhaul of the programs on which the platform runs. The process is still underway, but all the original data are available. As most of our energy will focus on new developments, we have suspended the supply of any documents (photographs, maps, vectors), except as they appear on the platform.
Virtual Shanghai Project
"Virtual Shanghai is a research and resource platform on the history of Shanghai from the mid-nineteenth century to nowadays. It incorporates four sets of documents: essays, original documents, photographs, and maps. The objective of the project is to write a history of the city through the combined mobilization of these various types of documents. The implementation of this approach relies on the use of NTIC and GIS technologies. On the research side, the platform offers various ways to step into the history of the city and follow its course at different levels over time. On the resource side, apart from providing original textual and visual documents, it develops a powerful cartographic tool for spatial analysis and real-time mapping. The authors of the present project suscribe to the idea of sharing scholarship and research tools for the benefit of scholars, students, and citizens at large."
See the latest news on the Virtual Shanghai Blog
Virtual Shanghai Bookmarks
The Virtual Shanghai Bookmarks introduce web sites that relate to Shanghai history, especially those that provide visual materials, as well as significant collections of visual materials related to China and Taiwan. It also points to sites that are relevant for the various fields of knowledge from which the Virtual Shanghai Project draws its inspiration.

Agence Nationale de la Recherche
"Virtual Shanghai: Shanghai Urban Space in Time" is one of the research projects in social sciences and humanities selected in 2005 by the National Research Agency in France. The ANR attributed a three-year grant to support the project.
A new project, "Wars made Shanghai" was again selected by the National Research Agency in 2012. The three-year project started in March 2013. The project will be implemented through the Virtual Shanghai platform.

'6 Rms Rv Vu' at Prairie Arts Center
PRINCETON — Local adult theater is back in Princeton. Comedy antics will leave you in stitches during the Prairie Arts Center comedy show "6 Rms Rv Vu" at 7:30 p.m. March 8 and 9, and at 2 p.m. March 10.
The title of "6 Rms Rv Vu" is New York Times shorthand for an available six-room apartment with a river view. Two 50-something Manhattanites show up to look over this vacant apartment: Anne Miller (Karen Lesman of LaSalle), a bored housewife; and Paul Friedman (Larry Kelsey of Peru), an unhappily married advertising copywriter. The door is accidentally locked, and Anne and Paul are left alone together ... and that's where the plotline — and their relationship — shifts into gear.
"This has been fun as my first experience directing. I couldn't ask for a better cast," Director Ken Schroeder said. "I have been very blessed with super talented and experienced friends who were willing to come and help us with filling in the supporting roles that always make a show great."
Newcomer Lesman said she has been feeling "incredibly challenged" by this role.
"It's the biggest role I have ever had as I haven't had many big roles as I have only done (theater) for about a year," she said. "I was really, really honored that Ken would trust this role to me. I've worked very hard to try to get this right."
Kelsey also agreed that this show has been interesting,

The Jubilee River Pageant |
What a shame. The Queen, the very picture of stoicism, standing for 3 hours during the Thames River Pageant in driving rain - and not even a sit-down or a cup of tea to break the monotony or warm up. Would you make your 86 year old granny stand, freezing in the rain for 3 hours? No. And what of her 90 year old husband? Is it possible to keep a smile on your face for that long? Put simply, it's not - but the queen did her level best. In fact it seems that everybody did heroically under the circumstances (except the BBC who have been slammed for their inane, dreadful commentary during live televised proceedings - and Kate who looked very nice, but has been accused by the Daily Mail of dressing to upstage the Queen) -
I didn't watch the whole thing, but by the time we got to the rain soaked operatic singers at the finale on Sky news - it was hard to watch. Let's hope the Queen endures the next couple of days of yet more public appearances and official functions without falling sick or needing a day in bed. Hot toddy anyone? Best of British with the rest of the celebrations! (Getting remarkably cold and grey here in Nairobi too - perhaps in sympathy?!)
A stoic looking queen - keen not to let anyone down |
and the UK street parties |
Also killing time - on Saturday I took the girls to the cinema (in a big city mall) to watch 'The Avengers'. I was enjoying the film very much - happily munching popcorn, right up until the point that the multiple explosions on screen caused me to wonder whether we might get suddenly bombed by Al Shabaab - and whether I'd ever be able to locate and extract all three children in the dark. The film passed uneventfully and fortuately by the end of the weekend, even my husband returned from his Rhino Charge 'are you tough enough?' alpha male bush-challenge, unscathed and annoyingly looking pleased with himself.

Personal identity & stationery - Photographer Laramie Carlson asked me to design him a logo, stationery, and a portfolio website. The logo was inspired by a camera lens and the black and white color scheme is symbolic of the sharp, high-contrast photos that Laramie consistently takes. The last unifying element was a hyphen, which was placed at specific proportionate intervals as a play on the word "grapher".

These delightful spuds bake up super-crispy thanks to a series of thin slices and clarifying the butter, so it can be heated to a higher temperature for roasting. Experiment with other herbs and spices, such as caraway seeds and sage.
If you crave crispy, crackling turkey skin, this is the bird for you! A few simple techniques result in a juicy, rosemary-scented turkey with skin that's wonderfully caramelized.

It is recognised worldwide that, for high-level and long-lived intermediate-level waste, disposal in stable geological formations is the only way to ensure safety over the necessary long time spans. This principle is anchored in the Nuclear Energy Act of 2003 and also applies in Switzerland to low- and intermediate-level waste.
In facilities at the surface, the waste can be directly controlled and monitored and is easily retrievable. However, such facilities require ongoing supervision and maintenance. An absolute prerequisite for this is stable societal conditions over the necessary long timescales. In contrast to geological conditions and the evolution of the engineered safety barriers, social and climatic changes cannot be reliably predicted. Geological repositories are therefore preferable.
Compared to social structures, rock formations can remain stable over millions of years and maintain their favourable properties. In a suitable underground environment, time effectively stands still, while conditions at the surface undergo repeated change (illustrations: W4)

Delanie Walker's life has been an emotional whirlwind the past six weeks. The former 49ers tight end went from the high of playing in the Super Bowl to the low of losing his aunt and uncle in a horrific accident near New Orleans just hours after the game. This week, his path guided him to Tennessee. He believes he joined the Titans for a reason. "I know my auntie and uncle are up there watching me, and I believe that is why I am here with the Tennessee Titans," Walker said. "The deal I got, and the blessing I got to have an opportunity to be a prime-time player here in Tennessee, I believe they had something to do with that. "It's hard to understand sometimes why God does what he does. But I want to make them proud, and they'll be with me here. I will have something for them."
Tennessee Titans' Delanie Walker motivated by tragedy

EDIT: I have released this program.
Download Here
Please see the Readme.txt file for information on how to use this program.
Yes, I named all four, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero, because each company that owned the compiler that started out as Borland Pascal and later Delphi, has the same problem with their compiler output. I'm curious to know if anyone else is using these compilers and experienced the same issue. I've been frustrated with it for quite a while now, but only recently decided to do something about it.
When capturing the output from the compiler (I have tested as far back as Borland Turbo Pascal 5.5 through 7.0, Delphi 2.0, Delphi 5.0, and Delphi 2010 and Delphi XE), there is a strange behavior that does not show up when allowing the output to go straight to the DOS Console. There is a lot of extra "printing" to the captured output that is not actually displayed by the Console, because each line "terminates" with a "Carriage Return" only. This CR only termination causes the line to be overwritten by the next line in DOS, but when capturing output, via UEStudio's Output Window, they all run together as one LONG line.
On large programs, this is a problem. This causes some lines to be so long that the actual end of the line is lost. Because of multiple line numbers on each line, it is impossible to "go to" a message line in the code, or at least impossible to go to the one you are wanting.
Therefore, I have created a small program to "supplement" these compilers. You can configure the compiler in an INI file, and place this program in the same path as the compiler.
Once you have this done, then point UEStudio to this program to compile/build instead of the borland/inprise/embarcadero compiler, and this program will pass all the command line arguments "exactly as passed" to this program, so it works sort of like a drop-in replacement for those compilers as far as UEStudio is concerned. This program will then capture the output of the Borland compiler, filter out the unwanted lines (lines that should not be displayed or would not normally be displayed in the DOS command prompt), make sure that all line terminators are corrected (Embarcadero added an additional line feed after the carriage-return line-feed DOS combination, so all have CRLFLF instead of CRLF), and will output the correct output for UEStudio to capture. It works like a charm and finally makes the compiler user friendly enough to use within UEStudio regularly.
I'm not sure how many other people are in need of such a tool as this, but I will be working on setting up some documentation for this tool over the next few days, and perhaps will also work on setting up compiler configurations for a few versions of Delphi/Turbo Pascal/Borland Pascal that will aid in getting set up faster.

Step 1 - what's your problem?
You need to be clear exactly what your problem is. Often it is crystal clear what the problem is, but sometimes you may have a number of different problems tied up together.
Where you have two or more connected problems, you need to deal with each one separately. If you don't, you're likely to come unstuck. Always try to keep each party up-to-date with what's happening with the other problem.
"I got a letter from my landlord saying I was going to be evicted. He said I hadn't paid my rent but I got Housing Benefit. When I phoned the council, I discovered my benefit had stopped. I started trying to sort my claim out but I didn't get anywhere fast - I was forever having to call back or get more evidence. Meanwhile, my landlord started court proceedings. It was really stressful, and it got to the stage where I couldn't bear to think about it.
But then I went to see an adviser, and she explained that I needed to deal with the eviction as a separate problem. She told me to explain to my landlord that I was still entitled to Housing Benefit and that they were sorting out my claim, and to ask him to stop court proceedings. In the end, I agreed to pay a little bit off the arrears every month until my benefit started again, and he agreed to stop the proceedings."

ARKOMA ŌĆö Last year, the Arkoma Mustangs' defense gave up 598 points last season. If Friday night's home scrimmage is any indication, things will be vastly different in 2011.
The Mustangs did not give up a score to the Canadian Cougars in Friday night's first scrimmage of the preseason.
ŌĆ£I thought (the scrimmage) went real well,ŌĆØ Arkoma Coach Mark Weatherton said. ŌĆ£We were physical like I wanted us to be. I thought our defense played really well. We have a few technical things we have to shore up on defense, but we didn't give up any touchdowns in the whole scrimmage. So, I was real pleased with that.ŌĆØ
Offensively, the Mustangs scored five times. Tyler Sweeten had two of the scores, one run and one TD pass reception. The other scores came on TD runs by Christian Davis and Skylar Batt as well as an interception return by Tanner Steward.
Heavener's defense shines
in scrimmage against Haileyville
The Wolves had only one shutout in 2010 and kept opponents to 20 points or less in three other games last season. In Friday night's scrimmage against the Haileyville Warriors, the Wolves' defense got after it, which pleased Heavener Coach John Thompson.
ŌĆ£Defensively, we came out and stroked them,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Basically, they had negative yards on the night.ŌĆØ
On offense, after a slow start, the Wolves came on late.
ŌĆ£Offensively, we moved the ball pretty well downfield,ŌĆØ Thompson said. ŌĆ£We were a bit sluggish early, but as we got to the end we were moving the ball well. I was pleased with that.ŌĆØ
Heavener scored three times ŌĆö on a Tyler Hamm TD pass to Shaun Bradley and a touchdown runs by Rogelio Serrano and Justin Page.
Panama shocked early,
but ends scrimmage well
After the Okmulgee Bulldogs put two scores up early against the Panama Razorbacks, the Hogs settled down and finished Friday night's scrimmage in Okmulgee looking pretty good.
One thing which First-Year Panama Coach Brandon Ellis was pleased with was how well conditioned his players were in.
ŌĆ£One of the things we got out of it was that we saw that our kids are in shape,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£After the initial shock, we didn't have anyone go down due to heat. Physically, we're in shape. And probably the best thing that we got out of it was that we came out of it healthy ŌĆö that's a real plus for us.ŌĆØ
Panama scored twice, both on runs ŌĆö a 2-yard run by James Sisco and a 65-yarder by Gabe Harp.
ŌĆ£After the initial shock, we started making our blocks, and we ran the ball hard,ŌĆØ Ellis said.

A busy mom finds more hours in the day - courtesy of summertime

How many times have you said "if only there were more hours in the day?" And how many times have you vividly imagined all you might accomplish with those precious few extra hours? It recently dawned on me that the summer season gives us this gift of time. By its very virtue, summer provides extra hours of daylight – a few hours in the morning to get a jumpstart on the day and a few more in the evening to relax and unwind.
As one who is constantly juggling work, kids, fitness, writing, an outrageous to-do list and a strong desire to connect with my husband on matters more substantive than potty training and dog walking, these extra hours which summer so effortlessly bestows are a true gift and one that I'm utilizing to its fullest extent.
With sunrise at 5:30 and birds chirping long before, I'm all too happy to get out of bed at 5:45. Mind you, this is the same time I set the alarm the rest of the year but these days, I'm far less likely to hit snooze. I'm eager to get up and get the day started. The early light allows me to squeeze a lot in before the tots get up at 7:30ish. Of course, there are all the daily requirements – the dishwasher, the dog, making lunches and getting in my morning run a few days a week. But these things are part of the LyonsDen routine in any season. The additional benefits I reap from the early sunrise include reading the paper on the front porch or, in the case of an early riser, reading Dr. Suess on the porch while the dew is fresh and the air is clean and clear. Should I choose to leave the comfort of the porch, I might run for a few more miles, water the plants, clip a few flowers to brighten the kitchen or possibly settle in the yard with my laptop and work on my writing… it's so easy to be inspired with a large cup of coffee and the soft sunlight glistening through the trees. I am so grateful for these moments and will miss them when the days grow shorter.
As the sun shifts from East to West, it has a soothing effect on our typical end of day chaos. The fact that school is out also lessens the pressure; we're not hustling to get homework done and the clan in bed by 8:00. Even so, dinner still needs to be served and the bedtime routine still reigns supreme. What's different then? It's the attitude, I think. It's more laid back. We're not literally racing against darkness when we use the grill. We make plans to make the most of the evening time we have together. We squeeze in a post-work trip to the pool, possibly with friends. We relax our standards a bit. Dinner just might be grilled chicken with peaches and watermelon served on a beach towel. Popsicles might melt on the same porch where we started our day as fireflies float by… actually, I think they now bolt by for fear of being caught by one of our little Lyons Cubs; gentle though they try to be, they've squeezed the lights out of more of our flying friends than I care to admit. But I digress.
Perhaps best of all, summer's extra daylight hours give my husband and I something we truly cherish – more time with our kids and each other. Des and I rarely have a quiet moment but find that summertime affords ample opportunities for a shared cup of coffee or glass of wine on the porch (Again! That porch! How we love that porch!) We actually get the chance to talk about more than the kids and to-do lists. We also relish the morning Suess time and evening swims with the kids. The "family fun time" in the midst of our manic weeks is a rare pleasure. We know this time is precious. And, like summer itself, is fleeting. Thank you Summer, for answering my wish for more hours in the day. Now Old Man Winter, if you're listening, could you please lighten up a bit? And yes, I do mean that literally!

When I was a young boy, we did not have daylight savings time, but your article did slow me down and make me think of of my summers. For me, it was running through the cotton fields. No one had pools but climbing up the side of a wagon and jumping into the cotton dumped into it was a good substitute. Also your article about explaining death was good for me about my wife's early death. You ae a good observer and a good writer, Kerry Lyons and

This picture sent a cold shiver down my spine.
Dwi Oblo / Reuters
The shadow of a worker using a stick to club a dog before slaughter is seen, at Bambanglipuro village in Bantul, near the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta May 29. The Suwardi family has been running a dog slaughter business since 1985, and up to 30 dogs are killed everyday for their meat, which consumers believe can cure skin diseases and boost vitality. The Suwardi family buys the dogs at about 150,000 rupiah ($17.50) each. A meal comprising of dog meat and plain rice costs about 8000 rupiah ($0.90).

November 30, 2010
ATLANTA -- Georgia State University College of Law student Raymond Lindholm was born to perform, whether showering the audience with inspiring melodies from his violin or winning the jury's vote with his powerful closing arguments.
After receiving a music degree in violin performance from GSU, Lindholm combined his passion for music and entrepreneurial skills to launch The Lindholm School. The school provided consulting services, instrumental programs and private lessons to Atlanta area private schools.
"My dad was a violinist who specialized in folk, blue grass and fiddle music. I grew up listening to my dad play and for my 4th birthday he gave me a violin," said Lindholm, who has been teaching violin and playing with orchestras all over the country since he was in middle school.
In addition, Lindholm acquired Atlanta Classic Weddings, a business that provided live classical and jazz ensembles for weddings and corporate events. Under his leadership, the award-winning business received accolades for customer satisfaction three years in a row and was featured in the Knot.com's nationally distributed magazine.
In spite of his business success, Lindholm's heartstrings pulled him in a new direction: the law. So he returned to GSU to pursue a degree and legal career, setting his sights on health law.
"I really enjoyed certain aspects about business, including all the problem solving and growing the businesses, but law has always been something that interested me and it was a very good move for a new career path," Lindholm said.
It was Georgia State's part time law program that provided him the opportunity to study law while raising his family, he says. However, he was inspired to go into health law after learning about Georgia State's nationally ranked program during a tort class with College of Law Professor Charity Scott.
"Health law is a burgeoning field and from a job perspective it makes sense, because it's one of the few areas of law that continues to actively be hiring," he said. "Health law is like a microcosm of the legal field itself, you can practice just about anything and if you primarily work on issues affecting health care providers and doctors then you are also a health lawyer."
Lindholm's studies have allowed him to work with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to help draft legislation to help permanently disabled children having difficulty accessing home health care. Also, his research paper titled, "Legal Analysis of Childhood Obesity and the Built Environment in Minority and Low-Income Populations," will be published in the journal Environmental Health Reviews.
"Childhood obesity in the U.S. has become an epidemic. For the first time in history, experts are predicting that children today will have a lower life expectancy than their parents," Lindholm said. "I looked at the laws that shape our built environment and how we can craft legal interventions to provide more access to healthy food to low income and minority children and increase access to physical activity through more connected neighborhoods, better sidewalks safer neighborhoods and access to playgrounds, exercise equipment and bike paths."
During this past summer, Lindholm began interning as a research fellow with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzing public health law issues regulating prescription drugs. He has also clerked for Judge A. Harris Adams of the Georgia Court of Appeals, and as a case assistant with Alston & Bird law firm.
With less than a year left of law school, Lindholm has his sights set on practicing health law and possibly continuing on to graduate school for health administration.
But teaching music lessons and playing his violin on stage still provide a much needed break from his legal studies.
"[Music and law] use very different parts of the brain, but It has been a nice reprieve from legal studies to be able to pick up my violin and do something different," Lindholm says. "It was especially nice during my first year when I might not have known what negligent standards were in torts class, but I certainly knew how to fix a kid's violin hold."
