iCal calendar sync - alerts keep returning after dismissal
Hi, am using iCal with OSX 10.9.2 . When I get a task alerts, I close it, however, the alert reappears some minutes later. It seems to be acting as "snooze" rather than "close". Normal reminders created in iCal don't work in this way - once "closed" the alert is dismissed.
Doing a "Get Info" on the calendar subscription, it appears to be defined in the same way as other subscriptions which don't have this problem.
All responses
Hi Adam,
Did you import the ICS file into the software, or did you enter a new subscription using the iCal Feed URL?
We have a few reports of this issue but have yet been able to figure out what is causing it and how to resolve it. Most of the time, people have to remove the entire calender, to get rid of it, or disable notifications in total (which obviously is not good).
Hi Brendon, I created a new subscription using the iCal Feed URL. I've realised that the alerts appear when the feed is auto-refreshed (I set my feed in the Get Info section to 15 minutes to try this) or when the feed is manually refreshed. None of my other calendar subscriptions seem to do this. For example UK Holidays (http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics) which defines calendar events on specific dates like ToDoIst doesn't alert on refresh, it just places the event in the calendar.
Again on the Get Info section if I set the "Ignore Alerts" off then (perhaps obviously !) the alerts don't come for that subscription only which I'll use for the time being rather than switch off alerts totally. Hope that helps ! Adam.
Thanks for the information. We are looking into it.
Any update on this issue? I'm getting the same thing and it's gotten annoying enough I had to Google the issue. :) Not sure if this is a Todoist issue or something with the Mac calendar app.
We haven't been able to find out what causes this. As these reports are only when using the Mac Calender app.
Hi, I use google calendar. Is there anyway of syncing the todoist tasks so they show up in my calendar?
Yes of course, you can copy the URL from the settings page (top right corner) into Google Calender on the left hand menu.
Brendon, thanks for quick reply. Please can you expand on what you mean by 'left hand menu'. I don't see anything immediately obvious in my google calendar? Would appreciate help - maybe a screen shot? Cheers.
I believe this should help explain the steps :) https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37100?hl=en

The Catholic Church has stopped supporting another charity because of support for LGBT rights, and this time the support is tangential.
Compañeros is a small charity helping Hispanics in Colorado with health care access and legal assistance. They are part of an immigrant rights coalition and that coalition has a relationship with a Colorado LGBT rights group.
That one-step removed relationship was enough to endanger funding from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, an arm of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops devoted to ending poverty.
According to the New York Times, it is pressure from conservative Catholics on the Catholic Campaign that is leading to funding being increasingly withdrawn from groups like Compañeros. A group called the American Life League is aggressively monitoring any charity which is linked in any way to gay marriage, abortion — or even contraception. It has 54 charities in its sights.
Nicole Mosher, Compañeros's executive director, said:
We have no reason to believe that we are in any way going against Catholic teachings. If they are willing to defund our program based on an affiliation, it sends a clear message of divisiveness.
Despite the prospect of losing about half its budget, Compañeros is staying in the immigrant coalition. Said Mosher:
We can't go against our core principles by taking money that we think will ultimately result in the division of this community.
Numerous other agencies have lost funding for supporting gay people. Last year, a Maine homelessness charity lost Catholic Campaign funding after supporting marriage equality.
It's not just the Catholic Campaign's money that's being used to police those doing 'good works' whom the church is funding.
Last month, the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento withdrew funding from homeless charity the Francis House Center because of the personal views of the charity's director. It was also revealed that Catholic Bishops were behind the defunding of Planned Parenthood by the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
In 2009, the Washington-area Catholic Archdiocese threatened to withdraw all social services if DC legalized gay marriage. That threat was withdrawn, but rather than be forced to cover same-sex spouses, Catholic Charities took away all spousal benefits. It also stopped its adoption program. Last year, Catholic charities in Illinois ended their taxpayer-funded adoption services rather than have to cater to gay couples following the state's passage of civil unions.
However, reports the Times, there are Catholics fighting back. Catholics United, a social justice group based in Washington, has vowed to counter the pressure from conservative Catholics. James Salt, the group's executive director, said it planned fundraising efforts this year so groups would not have to lean so heavily on money controlled by bishops.

Bradford S, when your daughter is raped, remember to sell her to the rapist -- per the SAME bible.

First of all, I say HOORAY FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, for having the guts & fortitude to stand up for what's right in GOD's eyes instead of taking the easy way out & hop on the p.c. bandwagon.
By the way Linda R., you refer to 'ALL GOD'S CHILDREN' as if everyone was a child of GOD, when in fact He (GOD) said that all are NOT His children.
Try reading what GOD said in Rom 9:8 for example. Jesus said in John 8:44 that some peoples father was the devil!
GOD said in the Bible that the things that "gays" do with each other are "abomination" (detestible) to Him in Lev 20:13 and all through Scripture, both Old & New Testament GOD said that those things were sinful & not to be done. For example; Genesis 13:13, Gen 18:20, Lev 18:20 & 24, Rom 1:32, I Cor 6:9 &10, I Tim 1:10, Jude 1:7 etc.
The perverts in Hollywood, the same ones that taught evryone, through movies & t.v. shows that fornication, adultery, robbery, all sorts of violence etc. are cool, have now taught a whole lot of immoral, sinful people (most of you) that the sins of homosexuality are also acceptable & cool.
You people are just having a hissy fit because you haven't been able yet to force the Catholic Church to cave in with your various methods of intimidation. Too bad for you.
I was raised Catholic and raised my children that way as well. What I have taught my children is that we love ALL GOD's children. Not just the ones we are told to love. I am ashamed at the attitudes of the Bishops and hope that people realize not all Catholics are like this. When we all start being color blind, stop looking at sexual orientation and start looking at everyone as a person then we will have peace and acceptance.
The catholic church is the richest organization in the world. And, still they have people (monks and nuns) living in poverty to get closer to "god". The vatican bank has been money laundering for decades. Opus Dei is catholic. Priests have been molesting children for centuries. Need I go on? Ban them and the rest of the religions and we will finally have a chance for peace!
I mihgt add that the the third larest religion in the USA - about 10 million strong - is EX - Catholic.
do your part to bankrupt this corrupt and yes hatefilled institution. Oh that Jesus would return and tell all christians that the catholic church is basically a hate group, as they were a hate group against Jews and others in the past
Teh bottom line is that the catholic church hates anything and anyone who is involved with the word "gay"
its all just a new version of demonizing gay people. Just as over a milenia they demonized Jews and knowingly or not laid the foundation for the Holocaust.
the church btw is now run by a german pope who did this horrendous thing in 2009
http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/erbe/2009/02/05/pope-should-excommunicate-holocaust-denying-bishop-williamson?msg=1 - comments
BTW besides the mess re the vatican bank here's whats likely to be the next great scandal of the church, its about how they "soul murdered gay kids", doing something that reminds me of Dr. Mengele in germany in the past
The institutions of government and religion that once commanded our respect have been corrupted by the right wing disease. Their fight to twist and pervert anything that can be used to influence and control people. When it comes from those who claim to represent God on earth, somehow it's just a bit more offensive. These Bishops and church bigshots are surely familiar enough with the many Biblical passages that condemn their activities and motives. How do you believe in God and then defy what you believe to be God's Word? There are many passages in the Book of Isaiah alone that clearly condemn this behavior.
What happened to separation of church and state? Time to tax this political organization. Render unto God what is God's; render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Don't forget to render unto Benedict what is Benedict's.

Jenni Dant Named C-USA Player of the Week
CHICAGO – DePaul senior Jenni Dant picked up her second Conference USA Player of the Week honor following a career-high 29 points against Marquette on Sunday afternoon. She led the Blue Demons to their 13th straight C-USA victory, setting a new league record. She shared the honor with USF's Jessica Dickson.
Dant led the Blue Demons to the 2005 Conference USA regular season title as well as the No. 1 seed in the upcoming C-USA Women's Basketball Tournament. Dant receives her second weekly accolade as the senior was named the first 2005 C-USA Player of the Week recipient on Nov. 22, following her MVP honors in the Moran Realty Classic.
She extended her flawless free throw streak to 18 consecutive with a perfect 6-for-6 against Marquette on Feb. 27 in a 77-56 victory. Against the Golden Eagles, Dant matched a career-high 29 points, while hitting a career-best five three-pointers. The five treys gave her 101 on her career, making Dant the ninth player in school history with at least 100 three-pointers.
The Blue Demons, who hold the country's second-longest home-winning streak with 23 straight victories in the DePaul Athletic Center, enter the conference tournament trying to become the second straight team to win the regular season and tournament titles in the same season. The squad will play the winner of eighth-seeded East Carolina and ninth-seeded Memphis at 1 p.m. (EST) on Friday.
It is also the second time in her career that Dant has been named the C-USA Player of the Week.

I received the email for the $10, but its game cash. I have been playing for about 10 mins and have got my first SPIN, which give you a coupon. You can get up to two coupons emailed a day to your email for coupons. My first spin I got a 15% off good for a week starting today. I tried to get my second spin, but it will probably take an hour or more to earn. If you live fb games this might be worth it. Otherwise, maybe not.
Thanks for the update. I am on it now and I can't quite figure it out, but I know I don't want to spend that long! Thanks for saving me time. :)
This is just like any other facebook game where they want you to buy more Toys R US game bucks with your real cold hard cash. I played for about an hour and cant get to the next coupon stage because I dont have enough energy. The only way to get more energy is to ask fb friends, buy it with Toys r us game bucks or leave the game open and get one energy per 3 mins. I guess I will leave it open all day and then resume playing. The next coupon I get might only be 15% off because it SPINS to land on your coupon.
LOL they're "real" coupons?
Oh man! I just ordered a water slide from them this morning! 15% would have reduced price even more… that's if it included clearance items. We live in Florida and those water slides are a must f you have kids! Totally worth the money. I ordered the banzai twin drop falls water park slide. It's reduced to $449.98 plus additional 20%, because it's a clearance item, made it like $360. The same exact one is $999 on amazon!
the coupon i got ws 15% of 1 REGULAR priced item. So can't be used on sale or clearanced. Not really as good of a deal as I thought it would be.
The coupons are real… they do expire pretty quickly though. I played this game a couple of months ago. The further you go the higher value the coupons (but at the same time the more you have to spend. ie: a coupon for $15 off of a $74 purchase). And it takes a long time to reach this stage. You also have to have quite a few FB friends that play to actually get anywhere. I think I played for about 20 min a day for about a month before I reached the end- and once you reach the end there are no more coupons and no other places to go.
All in all- the coupons are good, but not always worth the effort.
I have gotten the following coupons in order: 15% off one regular priced item (worked on sale items online), $5 off $25, $10 off $50, $15 off $75, 10% off $50 or more. There are two more levels left. Anyone know the value of the coupons for those last two values?
Thanks for the breakdown, very helpful!
Thanks for the info. Please let us know if you open the next 2 levels!
is the coupon valid at babies r us?
The coupons do work on clearance items. The don't work on sale items though.

It was one year ago that I sat down to write my fundraising campaign for this very same event. I had decided to run the Carlsbad Half Marathon in honor of my 22 year old step-son, Andrew, who was battling Melanoma. At the time, our hopes were high. You see, Andrew, had just started a revolutionary treatment for melanoma. This treatment had the potential to increase life expectancy in stage IV melanoma patients from less than a year to possibly 5 years. Please let that soak in…we were not expecting a cure. We were only hoping to keep Andrew with us for a little longer. And then, maybe over time, a new drug would come out that could have the same life-extending capability. Yes, it was a time filled with such hope.
Well, as most of you do know, our precious son lost his battle 6 months later on June 15, 2011. But boy did he put up one courageous fight. As parents, we could not be more proud of this wonderful young man who fought so hard to be brave and face this disease head on.
So now one year later I sit down to write this letter again. This time I am filled with a different kind of hope. It is my hope that through research, education, and advocacy, we can help others become more aware of the risks of melanoma, advocate for the changes that will reduce risk, and promote early detection. This is what the Melanoma Research Foundation is all about.
What is amazing to me is how many times I have shared Andrew's story to get the same response: Really, skin cancer? Why, he was so young? I thought that was something old people got? Couldn't they just cut it out?
It is these comments that fuel a passion in me to do what I can to elevate the awareness around this dreadful disease. Although it's hard to talk about, may I never miss an opportunity to share what Andrew and our family have gone through so that maybe we can prevent even one person from hearing the words, "You have melanoma".
My message to you today is this: KNOW YOUR SKIN. Always apply your sunscreen but please don't have a false sense of security that sunscreen is enough. You can get melanoma on your heel or even in your eye - in places that never have expsore to the sun. That is why it is equally, if not more important, to pay very close attention to your skin. Look for new spots or changes to old ones and act upon it immediately.
Within the past year, there have been two new drugs added to the aresenal against melanoma - "a fantastic breakthrough that was helped along by researchers and doctors funded by and involved with the Melaoma Research Foundation". The two new drugs approved this year are proof that new and better ways of attacking this cancer are possible.
Today I come to you asking for your financial support. If you would like to make a donation to the Melanoma Research Foundation, you can do so by clicking on the DONATE button below. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
On January 22, 2012, I will once again run the Carlbad Half Marathon in honor of Andrew's journey. I know Andrew will be with me every step of the way. And as I cross the finish line I will look up to the heaven's and say, This one is for you, my dear sweet Andrew!
Thank you to all our family and friends for your love, friendship, and support.

UK Government warms to nuclear power
New reactors will be built at Hinkley Point
Image: Robin Somes
EMBARGOED until 0001 GMT on Monday 25 March
The UK Government promised earlier not to subsidise nuclear power. It's just promised to pay more than twice the present market price, for 40 years. It's also going to give significant help to the infant shale gas industry. It adds up to a strange energy policy for others to follow.
LONDON, 25 March – Companies wishing to prospect for shale gas in the UK have been granted ten-year tax breaks and will get special planning permission from the Government if they go for large scale projects. To avoid delays, the Government also used its budget to announce plans to tempt local communities with cash to accept these developments.
This controversial push to exploit shale gas for electricity production comes as the Government's already contentious plans to subsidise new nuclear stations ran into legal trouble in Brussels.
With many EU countries opposed to nuclear power, including Germany, it is unlikely that a majority of the 27 member states would vote to set aside existing competition legislation to let the UK favour nuclear power over other forms of generation.
This setback for nuclear in the UK is a blow for the industry worldwide, since Britain has been seen as the flagship country for a new nuclear renaissance, the only large western economy to embrace a new generation of nuclear power stations.
With Britain's coal-fired stations gradually being closed because of EU legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions, and plentiful supplies of wind power untapped because of planning delays, the UK Government's energy strategy is in disarray and the future uncertain (see our story of 5 February, UK's nuclear plans come unstuck).
By backing two forms of energy generation despised by environmental groups, the country's coalition Government is fast losing any hope of earning the reputation it claimed it would gain of being "the greenest government ever".
But an even worse prospect for the coalition is the warning of some industry insiders that by 2016, with so many old power stations closing, there may be winter power cuts.
The Government does not believe this will happen and remains publicly committed to building at least eight nuclear stations, but this now seems an unlikely prospect.
Subsidy log-jam
Any new nuclear stations would face questions, chiefly cost, what to do with the waste they produce, and whether they would help the UK's stated aim of moving to a low-carbon economy. These doubts may explain why ambitious plans to exploit shale gas have been pushed through by Ministers.
However, the Government is still banking on at least two nuclear stations as part of its energy mix, despite the EU's competition rules. Last week the Energy Secretary, Edward Davey, gave the French nuclear company EDF planning permission to build two 1,600 megawatt reactors at Hinkley Point in Somerset in the West of England.
These would provide electricity for five million homes but are the same type of reactors that are five years behind schedule and billions of euros over budget in both Finland and France.
EDF will not start building any reactors in the UK unless the British Government agrees a minimum price in advance for the electricity they will generate. The so-called strike price being negotiated is around £100 a megawatt hour, double the existing market price. Not only that, but EDF wants this high price guaranteed for 40 years to make the projects attractive for potential investors.
For a government that has repeatedly promised no subsidy will be given for nuclear power this is an embarrassment. But without a substantial guarantee EDF will not build the stations, and there are no other operators in a position to do so either.
As a result of EDF's demands the British Government is asking the European Commission to by-pass the rules on unfair competition among generators.
The UK now plans to pay subsidies for solar power, off-shore wind and nuclear, claiming they are all low-carbon generators needing support. This is despite the fact that nuclear has previously been regarded as a well-developed technology not in need of subsidy.
Long-term commitment
According to Reuters, the reaction of Doerte Fouquet, a lawyer specialising in EU law at the Berlin law firm Becker Buettner Held, was that "neither under the current nor under possible future frameworks could this scheme for nuclear generators be declared compatible with European state aid rules."
Even if the rules were to be changed, she said, it would take around two years of consultations and need the consent of the majority of the 27 states.
There is already considerable opposition within the UK to the Government's proposals to increase the price of electricity to subsidise the French Government-owned EDF, and it is likely to face legal challenges in the UK too.
This is partly because the Government had said there would be no subsidy and had estimated the price of new nuclear at between £33 and £41 per megawatt hour. It is now proposing to guarantee to pay more than double that for 40 years.
But there was also the promise that no nuclear stations would be built unless the waste problem had been solved. The one plan to dispose of waste by building a giant depository in the British Lake District was thrown out by the local authority, Cumbria county council. The government has no alternative plan for the waste, so would be breaking another promise.
Despite these setbacks the Department of Energy and Climate Change is still backing nuclear. John Hayes, DECC's Minister of State, said: "New nuclear will help diversify our electricity supply and improve our energy security. Nuclear is also cost-competitive with other generation technologies and is expected to be one of the cheapest sources of low carbon electricity in the future."
He said the Government's policy was not to provide a "levy, direct payment or market support" for nuclear unless it was made available to other types of generation. A spokesman for his department said this was what the government was talking to the Commission about, to see that the proposed payments "are consistent with EU state aid rules." – Climate News Network

Who among us has not been paralyzed by fear? In THE FEAR PROJECT, award-winning journalist and surfer Jaimal Yogis sets out to better understand this primal emotion – why does it so often dominate our lives, what makes it tick, and is there even a way to use it to our advantage? In the process, he plunges readers into white shark-infested waters, brings them along to surf 40+ foot waves in the dead of winter, and gives them access to some of the world's best neuroscience labs, psychologists, and extreme athletes. In this entertaining, often laugh-out-loud narrative, Yogis also treats himself like a guinea pig for all of his research, pushing his own fears repeatedly to the limits—in his sport, in his life, and in love.
"The Fear Project will transform how you approach this primal emotion — and yourlife." David Agus, MD, author of the #1 New York Times best-seller, The End of Illness
"Yogis relates scientific research as naturally as a conversation with a friend." Kirkus Reviews
"A scientific inquiry into the depths of dread and one man's struggle to understand and overcome…a kicking, great read." Forbes.com
"Unflinchingly honest and definitely big-balled. If Jaimal Yogis' deep dive into fear doesn't make you want to go out and push your limits—well, you're probably already dead." Steven Kotler, author of West of Jesus and The Rise of Superman
"Weaves together neuroscience, dramatic true stories, and practical wisdom in a fascinating, important book that moves with the page-turning verve of a thriller." Rick Hanson, author of The Buddha's Brain
"Takes us on a wild ride into the heart of our deepest primordial fears and onto the shores of light." Stuart Coleman, author of Eddie Would Go and Fierce Heart
"Effortlessly weaving together science and everyday life, this book gives you insight into your own fears such that you can face them head-on and perform at your best." Sian Beilock, University of Chicago psychology professor and author of Choke
"Yogis writes with confidence, clarity, and brio. This is a heartfelt, hard-won, and utterly worthwhile book." Daniel Duane, author of Caught Inside, Looking for Mo, and How to Cook Like a Man.
"Highly engaging!" MeiMei Fox, co-author of the New York Times Bestseller Fortytude and Bend, Not Break

The Taiwanese and Chinese Deserve Better
12:02 PM, Oct 7, 2011 • By JOSEPH A. BOSCO
It is long past time for today's China, which in Mao Zedong's words "has stood up," to finally reject his other, more infamous, aphorism: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The decent, intelligent, talented Chinese people deserve better—the full political benefits of citizenship in the world community and its respect for more than their economic and military prowess.
As for America's "inevitable" decline, as Mark Twain would say, the rumors are greatly exaggerated.
Joseph A. Bosco served in the office of the secretary of defense as China country desk officer from 2005 to 2006 and previously taught graduate seminars on China-U.S. relations at Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. He is now a national security consultant.

LGBT sites top gay media consumption
17 September 2013
SAN FRANCISCO: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) consumers are highly engaged with mainstream media but their leading media activity is visiting LGBT sites and blogs, a survey has found.
Reporting the results of the 2013 LGBT Community Survey report from Community Market & Insights (CMI), which
polled over 30,000 people from LBGT communities
in more than 100 countries, including more than 13,000 from the US,
eMarketer noted
that 67% of gay men and 58% of lesbian women had visited such sites and blogs in the seven days preceding the survey.
In addition, more than one-third of LGBT web users said they had increased their visits to these sites in the past year.
Mainstream media, however, was well represented, with network and cable TV a close second to LGBT sites (65% of gay men and 57% of lesbians), followed by mainstream sites and blogs (57% and 46%) and mainstream newspapers (55% and 46%).
LGBT email newsletters (41% and 45%) and local LGBT pubs (50% and 42%) were the next most frequently mentioned.
Interaction with advertising was quite high, with 40% of gay men and 42% of lesbians having "liked" a business on Facebook, while 34% and 27% respectively had clicked on a Facebook ad. In addition, gay men were almost twice as likely as lesbians to click on a banner ad.
A write-in section of the survey highlighted Starbucks as the brand perceived as most supportive of the LGBT community, with JCPenney, Target, Apple and Amazon also cited. But 75% of LGBTs were actively boycotting Chick-fil-A, following comments by the company's president in opposition to gay marriage.
Earlier this year an overview of this market by the Advertising Research Foundation, noted that
LGBTs overindexed on brand loyalty
and were more likely than average to tell friends about brands and companies they liked.
It also quoted research showing that sponsoring LGBT charities could be more effective for brands than advertising in LGBT media.

General Board / Washington DC Roommates« on: June 22, 2005, 02:18:35 PM »
I will starting 1L at Catholic in the fall and need roommates badly to keep cost down. I am 23, from Chicago, straight, male, and generally normal. I want to ideally live off the Red Line in the district, Tacoma Park, or NOVA; just so the commute is no longer than 30 minutes a day.
If anyone at the six local law schools is interested please send me a message or shoot me an e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
P.S. I can spend no more than 700 dollars a month on rent and utilities.
Catholic University of America / Roommates« on: June 08, 2005, 04:30:45 PM »
All right, I'm in search of roommates or people who need a roommate in the DC area starting Aug. 1st. I'm 23, single, male, straight, from Chicago, and will be starting 1L in the fall. I want to spend between 4-6 hundred dollars a month excluding utilities and would prefer to be in DC or Tacoma Park. Any takers?
By the by, I am coming to DC July 8-12 to look for rooms so I could help on that four day window.
General Board / Re: Advice for New Law Students« on: April 19, 2005, 07:57:47 PM »
That's a good question. IS there some sort of bar not to go over?
John Marshall / Re: where to live?« on: April 15, 2005, 05:36:35 PM »
It is impractical to live downtown, the el takes you right to school. Search the pre-law board for posts, there are a slew of them regarding Chicago housing.
General Board / Re: Government Work and Politics« on: April 15, 2005, 05:35:15 PM »
I am definitely in sync with your line of thinking; unfortunately, I believe the majority of law students go in to law school thinking the same way but end up in a different career path by education. I guess the true challenge will be to stay true to your initial beliefs.
General Board / Re: Hofstra vs. John Marshall« on: March 29, 2005, 11:44:19 AM »
Agreed. It really comes down to where you want to liva and practice after you graduate from law school. As a fellow recent U of I grad, I can see where this dilemma comes from choosing between Chicago and East Coast; proximity to people you know already or starting over from scratch in a new place. Visit both schools and hopefully this will clarify the situation slightly.
General Board / Re: How helpful are your professors/other support?« on: March 24, 2005, 06:43:52 PM »
That seems to be atypical but I'm also curious as to what school it is.
Catholic University of America / Re: One L next year« on: March 24, 2005, 12:48:53 PM »
I also sent a short letter with my check. They sent an e-mail three days later saying they recieved my seat deposit and where looking forward to me attending blah, blah, blah.
What's this about no graduate housing? I was kinda planning on living in the dorms for the first semester, now I have to find roommates with either
a) law students who I don't know; potential assholes or
b) strangers I don't know; potential loud assholes.
Catholic University of America / Re: One L next year« on: March 23, 2005, 01:18:27 PM »
I wasn't mocking you or anything, sorry. I was talking about how you spelled Lenin/Lennon's name.

With the stroke of a pen, new semi-automatic handguns have been banned from sale in California.
How, you ask? This bulletin, signed by the State's Bureau of Firearms Chief, Stephen J. Lindley, for Attorney General Kamala Harris, requires all semi-auto pistols to be equipped with microstamping technology.
The technology, while available, is expensive and impractical and is not being employed by major manufacturers. Firearms manufacturers will most likely walk away from California rather than gear up to make the handguns for one State, a State that already has onerous gun laws. California-compliant models are already being dropped from production. The State's registry of compliant weapons has dropped from 2,400 to 1,278 in recent years.
Microstamping technology is designed to create a microscopic set of characters on each cartridge fired. The characters would identify the make, model and serial number of the pistol, conceivably allowing law enforcement to track the gun to the owner.
However, the technology is far from tamper proof and is of little use when the gun is stolen or sold on the black market.
Jumping from the left coast to the right, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie saw three new gun bills land on his desk Tuesday. One would give owners of illegal guns (read scary and black and loud when fired) 180 days to dispose of them; one would create a task force to study ways to improve school security; and one would establish uniform standards for law enforcement to report lost, stolen and discarded guns. Christie is expected to sign them. New Jersey legislators are also discussing a bill to reduce magazine capacity limits to 10 from 15.
But not all gun news this week is bad. The Alabama Legislature passed a bill that, while not giving 2nd Amendment advocates in the State everything they wanted, at least moved the bar a little to the right. Among other things, the bill allows gun owners to keep their guns in their vehicles while at work. In the past, business owners could ban guns from their property completely, including their parking lot. It also turns Alabama from a "may issue" State to a "shall issue" in the case of concealed carry permits, and it gives the individual the option to purchase a five-year permit rather than only one-year permits. One bad aspect of the Alabama bill requires those without a concealed carry permit who wish to carry a weapon in their vehicle to transport their weapons unloaded and locked out of the reach of the driver.

South Africa's ability to deliver cutting-edge technology and do excellent science has again been proven with a major milestone for the KAT-7 (Karoo Array Telescope) radio telescope outside Carnarvon.
The telescope, a precursor to the much larger MeerKAT, so called because of the abundance of these animals in the vicinity, and ultimately the massive Square Kilometre Array (SKA), successfully logged images of radio emission from the neutral hydrogen gas (HI) in a small galaxy about 4.3 million light years from earth this month.
Making its observations and recordings of even more note is that the galaxy, called NGC 3109 in the Constellation of Hydra, was discovered by English scientist John Herschel on March 24, 1935, while he was doing astronomical research in South Africa.
The observation and successful retrieval of atomic hydrogen spectral line images from a nearby galaxy have been hailed by Dr Bernie Fanaroff, director of SKA SA.
"The exciting results achieved by KAT-7 have given us confidence that we know how to build a cutting-edge radio telescope in Africa to answer some of the fundamental questions in radio astronomy.
A large proportion of the science planned for SKA and MeerKAT involves mapping the universe using neutral hydrogen."
KAT-7 and MeerKAT are precursors to the SKA, which South Africa has officially bid to host along with a number of other African countries. The only other bid is a joint one by Australia and New Zealand. An announcement of the successful bid is expected next month.

What's a film critic to do when all her favorite directors, as well as a startling slew of talented newcomers, release films in the same year?
Brandy McDonnell's top 10 films of 2012
Besides do a happy dance, that is.
The inner battle to build my top 10 films of 2012 list was as riveting as a Bigelow film, as bloody as a Tarantino production, as tense as an Affleck thriller and as twisty as one of Rian Johnson's movies.
1. "Zero Dark Thirty": Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal may just be the best filmmaking team working in cinema today. Their exhaustively researched story about the 10-year search for Osama bin Laden manages to be even more immersive than their 2009 Iraq War tale "The Hurt Locker," which won six Oscars, including best picture, director and original screenplay. The controversial torture scenes are just as unflinching and hard to watch as advertised, the third act chronicling the raid on the 9/11 terrorist's fortress racks the nerves even knowing the outcome, and the jittery pacing simulates the fits and starts of the protracted investigation. From "The Help" to "Take Shelter," all the stellar turns we've seen from Jessica Chastain have been building to her powerhouse performance as a CIA operative who literally makes it her mission in life to hunt down the terror mastermind.
2. "Django Unchained": Who would've thought that Quentin Tarantino could top his historical revenge fantasy "Inglourious Basterds"? His bloody new masterwork does for slavery what his 2009 project did for Nazism: gives it the shooting, blasting and beating it so richly deserves. With his first spaghetti Western, Tarantino shows off his usual devotion to classic genre films, his penchant for outlandish violence and his uproariously dark sense of humor.
3. "Argo": With "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town" already on his resume, Ben Affleck has quietly become a first-rate helmer specializing in smart, nail-biting thrillers. He produced, directed and starred in his new period piece, about a recently declassified 1980 operation to sneak six stranded Americans out of revolutionary Iran. Even knowing the outcome, my fingers were digging into the arms of my theater seat the entire final 45 minutes.
4. "Looper": Just three features into his career, Rian Johnson ("The Brothers Bloom," "Brick") has become one of those innovative writer-directors whose films go on my must-see list from the time they're announced. His exhilarating time-travel tale starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt distinguished itself as one of the best science-fiction films in recent memory.
5. "Beasts of the Southern Wild": Breakthroughs don't get much more impressive than director/co-writer Benh Zeitlin's engrossing saga of a dilapidated Louisiana enclave of fiercely defiant holdouts who opt to ride out a massive hurricane. Newcomer Quvenzhane Wallis, just 6 years old during filming, is luminescent as the strong-willed survivalist Hushpuppy, and Dwight Henry, a local bakery owner who was asked to audition, sure doesn't seem like an amateur in his authentic turn as her drunken, terminally ill father.

first to the OP.
i have an 09 52" grandstand.
i absolutely love this machine. of all the stand on's it has the widest platform. i'm tall and have large feet so this a major plus.
the controls are awesome. extremely close if not better than a sit down ztr.
the cut is excellent. exactly what you would expect from toro.
one complaint would be there are no anti scalp rollers on the deck. the other complaint is the controls become high in walkbehind mode. even for me at 6' 2".
now i want to note to the post i quoted. i only have done what updates i felt were necessary and needed.
the brake update was needed for me. before the update the brake would fall down touching the rear wheels.
the other update i had done was to the hydro system. that update was only done because i had a leak in one of the lines and when the dealer went to repair the leak they also re did the hydro system. it wasn't something i requested.
the hydro update is nice. it removes the speed control on the dash board and everything is controled by the forward reverse levers.
my grandstand does not have any of the other updates which includes some springs to ease raising and lowering the deck, something to the fuel system and something was done to make reverse quicker.
i find those updates unecessary.
i'm a big "if it's not broke don't fix it" person. i find raising and lowering the deck easy as is, i don't have a problem with my fuel system and i don't feel reverse needs to be any faster.
the one nice thing about the exmark vantage vs. the grandstand is the front stationary bar on the vantage moves to help you control the speed as far as how fast or slow the mower goes, regulating how far forward you can push the levers.

Be immersed in a curriculum that transcends the classroom. Identify world issues, explore which ones interest you, and receive hands-on experience preparing you to make a local and global impact on those problems.
Issues Based Curriculum (IBC) is a creative, yet practical approach to infusing critical thinking skills across the curriculum. Through IBC, students examine the implications of local and global problems through their particular discipline. Our goal is to help students become active learners who seek to make a difference in the world and are equipped to do so through their preparation at MACU.
IBC helps students take the theoretical framework of their academic discipline and apply it to actual issues in the world. This approach to teaching and learning helps MACU standout as a place where students can do something with their dream to change the world. Students who value people and earnestly want to make a difference will find a place to fit and flourish at MACU.
Exposure to IBC means that students will have an expanded world view. This approach helps students answer the question, what can I do with my passion and knowledge? We believe that students want to be a part of something greater but knowledge alone will not lead there. IBC is the vehicle through which we expose students to the role they can play in creating a better world. We believe that this is their calling. We love being able to help them put their dreams and calling to work and see them make a lasting difference.

MACU is home and that is why I love it. The first time I was on campus, I knew this was where I was supposed to be. I have found friends and mentors here that I know will be a part of my journey for a lifetime. You should know that I am addicted to Sunny D and once drank so much of it that my skin turned orange!
Location covered:NW OK NW USA SE OKC Metro
I love MACU because we have an amazing student success center that truly cares about your academic and career goals. Something that I am proud of is that I am the only undefeated admissions counselor in every MACU MASH team challenge, so if you are my student we are "In it to win it."
Location covered:NE OK SE USA NW OKC Metro
The community at MACU is a home away from home, I even met my best friend here :) The one thing you need to know about me is that I'm kind of a foodie so I love trying out new places in OKC. My fav. restaurant is Iguana Grill!
Location covered:SW OK SW USA NE OKC Metro
My favorite thing about MACU is the loving and caring environment. One unique thing about me is that I own over 120 pairs of Michael Jordan basketball shoes.
Location covered:
The bold and passionate mission of MACU to prepare our students to make a legitimate and lasting global impact excites me; the people that work here make all the difference in how unique the MACU college experience is. One thing that you need to know about me is that I am Venezuelan and British, so if you are needing to practice your spanish swing by the office and I will buy you coffee!
The thing I'm most excited about MACU is the chance to help others grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to dominate in intramurals. Something you should know about me is that I secretly like to listen to girly music.
My favorite thing about MACU is the family atmosphere and that it is very easy to connect and make this place feel like home. You should know that I'm always up for an adventure!
My favorite thing about MACU is that you feel like you've always been here as soon as you arrive. It may be interesting for you to know that I am fairly good at predicting the end of almost any type of movie...try me!
I love MACU because it was the one school where I felt like I belonged and was able to grow academically, spiritually, and holistically! Something interesting about me is that I love old houses and I got to visit a 1700s Plantation House in Jamaica.

Blogs are web sites with time-sensitive content displayed in reverse chronological order. This content generally remains fixed after publishing. One or more authors create and manage content, organized as posts. Visitors may be allowed to leave comments on specific posts. The most recent posts show first. Older posts fall below, eventually becoming archived. Blogs offer an RSS feed that allows anyone to subscribe and receive email alerts when new content is available.
Blogs should not be used for:
• Discussion forum. While visitors can post comments on each blog entry, the main point of the blog is the original posts. The blog system is not a threaded forum system, and its comment system was not designed to facilitate detailed discussions.
• General web sites, which belong on www.fitnyc.edu.
• Dynamic content. Though they can contain a picture or video clip, blogs normally display relatively fixed content. Once a blog post is created, it generally is not updated.
• Who's my audience—who's going to read this blog? Donors, alumni, students, faculty, staff?
Legislators, parents, community members?
• What's my goal—what do I want people to do when they read my blog?
• Will I be soliciting their comments, or do I just want them to read what I'm writing? (See comment policy.)
• What's my "USP" (unique selling proposition) for this blog? What information or viewpoint can I provide that my users are not able to get elsewhere?
• Is my content compelling enough to keep them coming back?
• Who's going to update this thing? Will my department be excited about this in the beginning but then not allocate the resources necessary to maintain it? (There's nothing worse than a blog that's months out of date.)
• Is there enough content to support an ongoing blog?
• Can I count on the people who volunteer to supply entries to actually do so, on deadline?
• Who's going to moderate the comments? (See comment policy.)
• Speak up frequently. In general, the more often you post, the more traffic you will build. Typically, the minimum would be to make an entry no less than once a week
• Join the conversation. Posting comments on other blogs shows you're an active participant in the community. It also gets your name out there, and will bring traffic to your blog.
• Have something to say. Make sure your posts are interesting/informative.
• Have something to show. Use video and photos to get your points across.
• Weigh your words. Keep posts concise and don't ramble.

Looked upon as one of the new Masters of the designer art toy realm, Jon-Paul Kaiser has made a name for himself by creating customs of classic and iconic characters from film and history but it is his original designs that really show off his talents. The Forgotten, his 5″ Mini Qee Bunee design, is an amazing piece. One that radiates soul and personality.
Based on the idea that sometimes we tend to forget our most prized possessions, The Forgotten is one of those adorable characters from our childhood that somehow got left in the corner of a closet, hidden on a top shelf…far out of reach and out of sight and once we moved on, it was forgotten. A piece of us that we long for an wish we could regain.
Toy2R is proud to offer this amazing production piece to the legion of JPK fans. Don't miss out on one of the most original creations from the master of Black and White. Available is a full color window box fully designed by the artist to keep your Bunee Qee in mint condition.
There we lie
Lost, Forgotten and Unseen.
Behind Drawers, under beds and
atop long unexplored shelves.
In the dark recesses of the attic
swathed in dust and age
we wait.

Hi;Does anyone know what is the most up-to-date topo map for this area on the Appalachian Trial? I'm overwhelmed by choices, but everything seems to have been printed prior to 2001.Thanks,Tim.
I'm still using my Shenandoah trail maps dated 1980 (purchased in 1984). They work pretty good though they are falling apart. For updates though I have the National Geographic trails illustrated map #228 (Shenandoah NP). It was shows that it was revised in 2007. This might be a source worth looking at.Jamie
Edited by jshortt on 01/04/2011 16:46:31 MST.
I recommend the PATC maps...2 sections were updated in 2009 and the other in 2008. The PATC maintains the trails in the SNP and surrounding areas on a volunteer basis. Have fun

It took two years to negotiate the deal. But in the end, her family says, Elizabeth Beall Banks, well known in Montgomery County for her opposition to development, sold the 138-acre parcel where she raised Black Angus cattle to Johns Hopkins University for one simple reason: She believed that officials shared her vision for what would become of her beloved farm.
Now, seven years after Banks's death, her heirs have taken Hopkins to court, alleging that the university has violated the terms of the deal it made with Banks 23 years ago. University officials maintain that they are abiding by Banks's wishes as outlined in the two-page agreement.
