Hi I need to downsample a wav audio file's sample rate from 44.1kHz to 8kHz. I have to do all the work manually with a byte array...it's for academic purposes.
I am currently using 2 classes, Sink and Source, to pop and push arrays of bytes. Everything goes well until I reach the part where I need to downsample the data chunk using a linear interpolation.
Since I'm downsampling from 44100 to 8000 Hz, how do I interpolate a byte array containing something like 128 000 000 bytes? Right now I'm popping 5, 6 or 7 bytes depending on i%2 == 0, i%2 == 1 and i%80 == 0 and push the average of these 5, 6 or 7 bytes into the new file.
The result is indeed a smaller audio file than the original but it cannot be played on windows media player (says there is an error while reading the file) and there is a lot of noise although I can hear the right track behind the noise.
So, to sum things up, I need help concerning the linear interpolation part. Thanks in advance.

Editor's Note: The following two columns I wrote were published this week in local community newspapers. The first one in Wayne Adelstein's North Valley Community News and the second one in Nina Royal's North Valley Reporter.
Remembrance of a Valley Past
Every week, Councilman Greig Smith's newsletter shows up in my email and every week I keep thinking I wish I lived in Council District 12 instead of a few blocks away in CD3.
After all, I grew up in a happier time in the 1950s and Smith's weekly briefing conveys that world of half a century ago when life was simpler and father really seemed to know best.
For Smith, who has spent his whole adult life on the city payroll, it must still seem like 1954 all over again. Library book sales, youth sports programs, Earth Day celebrations, college reunions, health issues of the elderly, honors for worthy citizens, after-school programs, benefits for veterans, special reports from staff on the Boys and Girls Club and electric lawn motors, community outings, visits from foreigners
All causes and activities worthy of note but not a word about how LA – even Chatsworth and Northridge and other communities in CD 12 – has reached a fork in the road and we have to decide whether this is the tipping point for the city or the turning point where we start to fix all that is broken.
Even as he was sending out his newsletter, Smith was leading the charge on the City Council to impose dramatic increase in water rates that will almost entirely be paid by his constituents who live in single-family homes, particularly those with horse properties and those with smaller lots.
Can Neighborhood Councils Fill the City Services Gap?
At a recent
City Council meeting where water rate hikes that punish single-family
homeowners and horse properties were approved, Janice Hahn seized on the
failure of the Department of Water and Power's to reach out to Neighborhood
"I am very,
very troubled that our Department of Neighborhood Empowerment's General Manager
(BongHwan Kim) says you do not have a good relationship with Neighborhood
Councils," the councilwoman lectured DWP General Manager David Nahai in
opposing the rate hike.
She noted
the city initiated its first Memorandum of Understanding with the NC movement
to bring the community inside the nation's largest municipal utility – a
relationship that flourished until Nahai took over and cut off communication.
Commission President Lee Alpert raised the same issue just days earlier and
Nahai – a man widely criticized inside and outside the DWP for his arrogant and
contemptuous attitude – seemed to gag every time he had to utter the words
Neighborhood Council. He couldn't bring himself to even refer to the DWP MOU
A year ago
relations deteriorated to the point that the committee's president, Soledad
Garcia, set up a separate DWP Committee outside the MOU to advocate for
ratepayer rights.
It was
Garcia's group that set in motion what became the No on Measure B campaign that
against all odds stopped a $3.5 billion fraud from being perpetrated on
I raise
this issue because it goes to the heart of what's wrong with City Hall: Our
elected officials think we the people are so dumb we don't know what time it
They think
that a little lip service and occasional patronizing smiles will keep us quiet
while they cut sweetheart deals in exchange for campaign cash and free lunches
at fancy restaurants. They have good reason to think that way because it's
worked so long.
economic hard times have a way of waking people up.
That's what we saw with
Measure B and that's what we're seeing on many fronts today – digital
billboards, development that harms the quality of life, rate hikes and, most of
all, the city budget catastrophe.
Antonio Villaraigosa nakedly argues in his proposed budget that the public
provided input that was used in setting his priorities. He refers to a
questionnaire that defined the issues that got him the answers that he wanted.
proposal on how to close a $530 million budget deficit – that is soaring higher
every month – isn't really a plan at all. It contains a bunch of ideas for
reducing payroll costs but no deal has been reached with city employee unions.
It contains a series of revenue schemes – like privatizing the zoo, Convention
Center and parking meters and lots – that amount to mortgaging the city's
future even as the budget deficit is likely to triple in the next few years.
justification for his plan to "sell off the farm" what has been done in
despite corruption. LA has all the corruption but is a city that doesn't work
for its people.
Most of us
are feeling the impact of the financial crisis with home prices falling, jobs
in jeopardy, and our future in doubt.
LA is at a
crossroads. We are at turning point or a tipping point. Our city government
simply costs too much and delivers too little. We must get back to basics and
reduce costs.
The most
important single steps to achieving these goals are to open up city government
and make it transparent and to bring in the people as full partners.
Councils are official government agencies and need to be brought fully into all
aspects of city government and made full partners in deciding city policy.
This would
energize NCs as the centers of community activism and bring together business
and residents and start the process of creating a more responsible and
responsive city government.
such steps, LA will tip over and continue down the road where the only
alternative is bankruptcy.
shares power willingly so it will take a massive movement at the grassroots
level to turn LA around. So wake up all you people. This is our LA and this is
the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their city.

Why do I need Addiction Treatment?
Many times, we don't notice our loved one's drug abuse or alcohol abuse until it's too late. Even recreational drinking may not appear harmful and justified by the drinker. Sometimes, unfortunately, recreational drug abuse is often dismissed by the drug user as a one-time occurrence. The point to which drug abuse or alcohol abuse turns into addiction often goes unchallenged by the individual as their body and mind develop an internal need for the drug. As time progresses and the individual continues their substance abuse, they have developed the disease of addiction. You think you can stop at your own will and that your drug abuse will not interfere with your life. There is a point, however, when the downward spiral of drug addiction and/or alcoholism has led you so far, but when is too far? Will it be too late?
It is never too late to quit your drug addiction or alcoholism. The best way to do so is by entering addiction treatment. By entering addiction treatment you are providing yourself with the best opportunity to overcome the disease of addiction and to lead a fulfilling, sober life. You are not alone in your battle with addiction. There is an entire network of support with recovering addicts who have gone through the same situation as you. Everyone is affected by drug addiction and alcoholism to some degree, but no one discourages the need for addiction rehabilitation. Addiction help is out there and ready for you to commit to. Seeking addiction treatment is a positive step in the right direction for a long lasting fulfilling life of sobriety.
When will we recognize our loved one's drug addiction or alcoholism? At any point, if you see negative changes in your loved one's behavior, abruptness or aggression in their behavior, or loss of interest in their work, hobbies, and even personal hygiene, it is indicative of a problem in their life. This problem may be drug addiction or alcoholism. If so, there is a need for addiction treatment. Family members and friends may often be torn on learning of their loved one's substance abuse, but the individual himself is blind to his own addiction. Therefore, someone must take the initiative to challenge their loved one's drug addiction and alcoholism and enter them into an addiction treatment program. Whether it is yourself who recognizes your addiction, or family member or friend, it is imperative that you or your loved one enters rehab treatment.
What should I know about Addiction Treatment?
Addition treatment may seem like a scary concept. Where does one begin? The journey in addiction treatment may seem long and you may begin to doubt your success as a recovering addict. However, you should know that these feelings are common. Fear and anxiety are common during addiction treatment. More importantly, you should know that you are not alone. There are people who have sought to make a change for the best and entered addiction treatment. Not only are there others like you who have successfully overcome their battle with addiction, but they also felt the initial fears in entering addiction treatment.
Find comfort in knowing that there is hope. There are others who share your grief and who have experienced the grips of drug addiction and alcoholism. Choosing addiction treatment to help battle this addiction is a positive step in the right direction. There are addiction specialists, doctors and nurses, counselors and therapists all dedicated in the field of addiction treatment to help you through this challenging time in your life. Their knowledge and dedication in the field of addiction treatment provides you with the best opportunity to vanquish the disease of addiction and return to your life with a brand new outlook.
Rehab programs are designed specifically for addiction treatment. Each addiction center has general phases of rehab treatment. The Florida House Experience, for example, has four phases of addiction treatment after initial detoxification. These addiction treatment or rehab programs are residential rehabilitation, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and sober living. The Florida House Experience's continuum of care does not end at sober living, but continues through to our alumni and aftercare services as well.
Can I stop my drug addiction and alcoholism with Addiction Treatment?
Fighting the disease of addiction takes strength, courage, dedication, and commitment. You may reluctant to trying to battle your drug addiction or alcoholism alone. The most important thing for you to know is that you are not alone in this process. Where there is a will, there is a way. Professionals have dedicated their lives to the field of addiction treatment for this very purpose. You can make a change in your life. You can stop your substance abuse and lead a fulfilling, sober life. Substance abuse does not have to tear your life apart, including friends, family, and your career and your finances. Comprehensive addiction treatment services will teach you new behaviors and life skills for continuing success in your addiction recovery and relapse prevention. Addiction therapy, support groups, meetings, and workshops are all integrated into addiction treatment programs to facilitate your recovery. The Florida House Experience's treatment philosophy will teach you that sober way of life is a natural way of life. You will be able to return to your family and loved ones with a positive outlook and ready to pursue your dreams and career goals. With proven addiction help, you can put your battle with the disease of addiction to an end.
How do I find the right Addiction Treatment Center for me?
Finding the right addiction treatment center to address your substance abuse can be a difficult task. There are drug rehab centers in every state that provide addiction treatment services. In your search for the right addiction treatment program for you, it is recommended that you speak directly with the staff at the addiction treatment center to learn the details of their services. Some drug rehab centers provide traditional 14 to 28 day courses of treatment, but may not offer on-site detox programs, dual diagnosis, or long term drug rehabilitation and addiction treatment. Other important things to consider about an addiction treatment center and its programs are cost, effectiveness, client testimonials, professional recognition, and even the friendliness and professionalism of an addiction treatment center's staff.
We encourage you to research addiction treatment centers so that you are comfortable when entering the program you have chosen. Addiction treatment at The Florida House Experience is unlike any other addiction treatment center. The Florida House Experience provides comprehensive addiction treatment with quality care at an affordable price. We believe in cost-effective addiction treatment while upholding the highest quality care in a private and intimate environment where each individual receives specialized attention.

We are here to help you, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

What Happened?
Recently, the San Francisco Supreme Court convened a grand jury to better understand why the City's pension fund was underfunded by $2 Billion. Additionally, the grand jury was formed to audit the investment policies and practices of the pension board. In their full report, one of the seven key findings was "unrealistically high assumed investment return of 7.66% is driven by concern for the mandated member and City contributions, with little regard for prudent management." The overall conclusion of the report was the "Yale Model" of high-risk investment is causing the city significant losses in its pension fund, requiring significantly higher contributions.
Other Key Findings
The six other findings by the Grand Jury were as follows:
- The system is underfunded by $2 Billion
- The Retirement Board did not complete a "failure analysis" subsequent to funding losses suffered in 2008-2009
- The City must pay increasing contributions to the Fund due to underfunding
- Increases in pension contributions by the City are growing at a faster rate than expenditures on most other City services since 1999
- The Fund can artificially reduce the City's estimated liabilities by increasing its investment return assumptions for future years
- Low-risk investment policies perform as well or better than high-risk policies
SF Mayor Plans Reforms
In 2010, the city paid $275 million to its pension plan for retired city employees. The next year, $375 million. If the trend kept going, the city expected it would be paying $532 million by 2014 – a cost jump of more than 93 percent. The pension fund would jump from 4 percent of the city's budget to eating up 7.8 percent of it. Residents concerns were voiced, so Lee and 2011 mayoral candidate Jeff Adachi sent dueling pension reform programs to the voters in a November 2011 ballot referendum. Lee's Proposition C plan overwhelmingly passed, as did his mayoral candidacy that year.
The Details
Lee's plan has one major difference from other pension reforms being implemented around the country. Current employees – which had been paying 7.5 percent – now have to pay more into the fund during times of economic stress, and less during good economic times. The highest they'll have to pay is 13.5 percent.
The plan also calls for differing contributions tied to an employee's salary, with classes of under $50,000, between $50,000 and $100,000 and $100,000-plus. The reform plan also focuses on increases in the retirement age, the halt of pension-spiking and caps on pension benefits. Aside from just pension reform, it called for new city employees to contribute to their retiree health costs. According to the mayor's office, the changes immediately generated a savings of almost $40 million in the city's 2012-13 budget.
More Information
The city is going through a two-year budgeting process through fiscal year 2013-14 and the mayor's plan is available online. If you'd like to compare SF's pension reform to other cities, EfficientGov has recently covered reforms in Knoxville TN, Melbourne FL, North Haven CT, Sioux Falls SD, Mountain View CA, San Jose and San Diego CA, and Naugatuck CT.

I want to render using Richfaces a context menu on left click on a link-appearing text (blue text, and underline and cursor onmouseover). So, imagine a link which when clicked shows a context menu. Note that I don't care if the text is indeed a link, I just want it to appear as a link. So, even normal text would be fine, I would make it appear as a link using CSS.
I have the following conditions:
- The context menu must appear on client side, without making a request.
- The context menu must appear using a
rich:componentControl(these "links") are inside a datatable, so the same
rich:contextMenumust be re-used.
I still have not found a satisfactory solution, as each approach I have tried has caused a problem for me:
- If I use
h:outputText(that would be ideal), I cannot attach on it a
rich:componentControl(I guess because it cannot fire an onclick event).
- If I use
a4j:commandLink, although I can attach a
rich:componentControl, it makes a server request. I tried to add
onclick="return false;"to prevent the request, but Richfaces adds the JS generated by the
rich:componentControlafter whatever is inside the onclick, which causes this code not to be reached at all, and of course the context menu not to appear at all.
Is there any way to do this? Please remember, no request!

Artificial Christmas Tree Snowing Machine
Truly a Christmas miracle. When I first had seen this I was WOW!'d with a capital "W". Your artificial Christmas tree (up to 7.5 ft) will have the appearance that it's actually snowing. And, it MUST be an artifical tree., not a real one. What's the secret? It's has to do with the very clever Snowing Machine. The Snowing Machine opens up to form a basin for the falling snow, so you don't have to shovel your rug. Furthermore, it also recycles the snow using it over and over. Situated in the basin is the Snowing Machine motor. It attaches to a green pipe that will be camouflaged in the center of your tree. It's from this pipe that the snow shoots out giving the illusion it's snowing on your tree. And, have no fear, your place doesn't need to be as cold as an igloo floating on an iceberg because the snow is as artificial as your tree. In actuality, the snow flakes are little white Styrofoam balls. Amazingly, the motor which plugs into any wall socket, is as quiet as "Silent Night". As a matter of fact, you can actually hear the snow cascading down the tree which provides a stimulating yet calming sensation. Better yet, the visual will have your friends and family in a trance (a perfect time to remove all the money from their Christmas cards). The Snowing Machine measures 24" x 24" and opens to form the basin which measures approximately 4ft in diameter. Simply place your Christmas tree stand in the basin and you are ready to go. Look at the picture above to see how easily the Snowing Machine and it's basin can be covered up in a decorative way.

Letter #3 (50 Love Letters)
S, My love, my heart, my laughter, my joy. I'm sorry I made you cut your hair. I'm really sorry. You loved your hair and I made you cut it and it wasn't a cool move. "I love my hair more than I love girls," you told me, heartbroken. (You LOVE girls.) It wasn't a parenting moment that I'm proud of and I'll always regret it and yet you still found a way to laugh about it with me and your brothers. Anyways, enough about your hair. I love your laugh and your smile and your perfect teeth and your golden skin and your rock solid heart and how hard you try at math even though it's not your best subject. (It wasn't mine either.)

Think about it. GTA III came out, and nine months later, Vice City. Then, two years later, San Andreas, followed by GTA IV three and a half years later. Thus, I predict that GTA V will be out in twenty six years and two weeks. It will be set in Canada and the main character will be voiced by Peewee Herman.
But seriously, I'd expect an announcement at E3 2010, followed by a trailer the following April (or whatever month the first IV trailer came out). Until then, I'm content to dream, even if I don't post my thoughts on here.
Found this on another site referencing the OP.
Liberty City, It's Over.
They have us looking at balls, those hills are balls, while the answer is in the sky.
This is incredibly profound.
The part of it they showed us in the "Liberty City, It's Over" picture looks like San Andreas. Even the color of the grass in the damn thing.
But in the part completely hidden, Vesuvius Citrate, the product being advertised.
Vesuvius -> Visceral -> Vicious -> Vice - Language in motion through time.
CITrate. Citrate in Florida's Natural Orange Juice. Florida Oranges. The answer is in the skies, oranges..
Vice City.
Kind of a reach, but shit. Could be spot on.
Wow. That's mega random. Where'd you find that?

There's a forest in Minnesota shaped like…Minnesota
If you happen to be in a helicopter or plane flying low over northern Minnesota, you might look down and see…a mini Minnesota…
After a redditor noticed this remarkable oddity recently there was some speculation that the forest was Photoshopped, but a direct link to it on Google Maps proves otherwise.
According to a commenter at City Pages who spent time working as a forester for in the area, this patch of forest has existed in this shape for some time.
I have been aware of this timber harvest shaped like the state of MN border for about 8 years. …This is state forest land, managed by DNR Division of Forestry. The state employs foresters to design timber harvests to meet many objectives including ecological and economic ones. The forester who designed this timber sale is a veteran at his craft and created this boundary line without the use of GPS, but with map and compass instead.
Another redditor perused older satellite images and found that this was in place as early as 1991.
The feature can be seen a few layers out in Google Maps, but with no population or highways surrounding it, there's no reason for most people to stumble across it…and even if you did, you wouldn't know it from the ground…
It doesn't take much zooming out before the state-shaped patch of forest is difficult to find, and there are still no cities or highways in sight…
To get a better sense of the location, here's the entire state of Minnesota, with the pin marking the location of the Minnesota-shaped patch of forest…
If you're still not impressed, here's a Minnesota-shaped pond, located in Central Minnesota…
Perhaps it's a theme… We'll update this post just as soon as we find a city limit, highway, or any other map feature shaped like the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Any idea where that pond is? I live in central Minnesota, but that designation is used for anywhere north of the Twin Cities and south of Bemidji.

Hey, I can see Minnesota from Minnesota! Choke on that Palin.

I don't know if this counts in your theme, but there is also a patio the shape of MN on the state capitol grounds:

Administration of orders
The core module of any maintenance application is the management and control of all work groups and suppliers and their workers in completing the planned and unplanned jobs.
SMaintain offers a wide variety of functions to support this challenge.
Workflows can be created and the process from the IT supported job request with the assignment of a job or the acceptance of a job order can be visualized.
SMaintain supports the process flow from the easy "quick feedback." This allows the user to create and feedback a completed job with all the relevant information, in one step to the split up process of job requisition, assignment with capacity planning, acceptance and execution progress control, until the last feedback, with optional approval.

About ITS
ITS Joint Program Office
The federal Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research program is by design multimodal. The ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) leads research activities. Each Modal Administration is responsible for participating in research activities and implementing the results of the research.
The ITS JPO, within the Office of the Assistance Secretary for Research and Technology, is charged with executing Title III - Intelligent Transportation System Research of Public Law 112-141 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act , enacted July 6, 2012, which requires the Department to:
Conduct an ongoing intelligent transportation system program to research, develop, and operationally
test intelligent transportation systems and to provide technical assistance in the nationwide application
of those systems as a component of the surface transportation systems of the United States.
The ITS JPO performs this role in conjunction with other surface transportation modal Administrations across the Department, including the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Maritime Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Together these agencies plan, program, and execute the ITS Research Program with oversight by the ITS Management Council, composed of the Administrators of each agency.
The current ITS Research Program is described in the ITS Strategic Research Plan, 2015-2019. The focus of the program is substantially on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity through the application of advanced wireless technologies to enable transformative changes in the surface transportation system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, V2V and V2I applications have the potential to address 80% of unimpaired crashes. These capabilities may also have significant potential for congestion and air quality improvements. The ITS Research Program develops and tests the underlying technology and applications and conducts policy research aimed at enabling V2V and V2I capabilities. The ITS JPO also runs active programs for technology transfer, ITS professional capacity building and ITS evaluation, aimed at providing valuable resources for state and local agencies and other ITS stakeholders.
Other Modal Administrations are involved in all aspects of the ITS research to ensure the research meets stakeholder needs. As research initiatives move from development and testing into technology transfer and longer term implementation support, the Modal Administrations also have an active role.

While the bubble necklace continues to headline accessory trends season after season, it's time to make way for a new eye-catching statement: chain-link jewelry. The classic design has made a major resurgence this year, topping off both sophisticated outfits and edgier hip-hop-inspired ensembles (think Miley Cyrus). When rocking this versatile accessory, just keep in mind these three easy tips:
Mix Metals
Keeping precious metals separate can be considered a faux pas of the past. Mix silver, gold, and varying textures for accessories that give your outfit some serious dimension.
Layer Up
One of the best parts about chain-link necklaces? Their lobster-claw clasps allow for adjustable lengths. Simply throw on three or four (let one serve as a choker and the others hang longer) to give basic tees a shot of chic toughness.
Get Chunky
With this trend, the larger the links, the better. Next time you're piling on arm candy, include a wide chain-link bracelet to serve as your stack's focal point. It'll also help anchor your thinner bangles so they don't slip off.
Our All That Glitters: Italian Gold Jewelry Boutique opens Thursday, September 5, at 11AM ET.

Japanese DRAM producer Elpida are set to supply chips for the PlayStation 3 and maybe even Nintendo's next-gen console. Elpida president Yukio Sakamoto told Reuters that Sony plans to use 512MB XDR DRAM, with Rambus' interface technology, in the PS3. He added that both Toshiba and Samsung will also produce DRAM chips for the console. Sakamoto revealed that Elpida is negotiating with Nintendo to produce DRAM chips for its next-generation console, code-named Revolution. One of the largest chipmakers in the world, Elpida is building a new factory in Hiroshima that will produce 300mm wafers. The new operation is crucial for the company, because it's currently operating at 100 percent capacity. The plant will open in the second half of 2005, and Elpida may establish another Hiroshima factory in the next few years.

Chris Allinger is cleaning up his backpack and shining up his sneakers for another stroll for a good cause:
Walkin' The Country II
Presented by CSP Management
On Monday, September 9th, Chris will set out on another week-long quest for money to support the Food Bank of the Southern Tier's BackPack ProgramTM. His walk will take him to every town in Tompkins County collecting donations. At close to 100 miles this year, that's a lot of footsteps for a whole lot of children.
The Food Bank's BackPack Program™ provides healthy, child-friendly, and easy to prepare foods to children at risk of hunger over weekends and holiday breaks when children do not have access to free or reduced price school meal programs. Each Friday children in need receive a bag of simple, easy to prepare food to get them through weekends and holidays. These children, who rely on school lunch programs for sustenance, would otherwise go hungry when school is out.
Last year, Chris's walk raised almost $20,000 for this important program. This year his goal is the same as last year: "I want $3.00!", he says with a laugh, "That's what it takes to fill up one backpack and every time I get another $3.00, that means another kid will have a backpack full of food."
Learn more about the Backpack Program
Here's a rough schedule of where Chris will be walking each day:
Monday, September 9th
10A Cornell
Noon Agava on Pine Tree Road
5P Slaterville
Tuesday, September 10th
8A The Dandy Mart in Slaterville
Noon The Dryden Hotel with a stop by Toad's Diner in Freeville

Star Swindon golfer David Howell surprised at council move to transfer operation of its golf courses (From This Is Wiltshire)
Star Swindon golfer David Howell surprised at council move to transfer operation of its golf courses
5:30am Friday 17th January 2014 in By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
PROFESSIONAL golfer David Howell has stated his surprise at Swindon Council's impending decision to transfer its golf courses to an external operator.
The two-time Ryder Cup winner began golfing at Broome Manor Golf Club in 1984, aged just nine, his summer days filled with 12-hour sessions of endless pitching and putting.
He has now moved to defend the future of his home course, as it lies in wait for new managers, who will be selected from a list of prospective bidders trying to take control of courses at Highworth and Moredon too.
"To hear the council think they can do better than running it themselves is a shame. It has been a long time since I have been an integral part of life at Broome Manor, so I don't know the full situation," the 38-year-old said.
"It has always seemed to turn a profit and pretty much helped the other facilities, including the other leisure centres, to stay afloat.
"I don't know if that situation has changed drastically, but it's certainly surprising to hear they want to get rid of it."
The Broome Manor complex includes 27 holes across two courses, as well as a two-tier driving range, which has bred more professionals than just David.
The Dunhill Links winner said the manageable prices charged for use of the course should be protected by any new investor, or the future of young golfers in the town may be under threat.
"There are some other guys who have turned pro since me from that course, but it's always been a great product for general golfers of Swindon too," he said.
"It was cheap golf for juniors, really good value, and if that were to change, that would be a crying shame. It would be horrendous if it changed."
The proposed transfer is a result of the council facing significant financial challenges, with an estimated £48m budget gap over the next three years.
The council is therefore looking at alternative ways of delivering services, and is inviting both commercial and not-for-profit companies to submit proposals to take over the running of many of its leisure centres and golf courses.
The facilities concerned are the golf courses at Broome Manor, Highworth and Moredon and six leisure centres; Croft Sports Centre, Delta Tennis Centre, Dorcan Recreation Complex, Haydon Centre, Healthy Hydro and the Link Centre. The proposal does not include Highworth Recreation Centre at this point.
The council would like to hear the views of the public and leisure and golf centre users about the proposals through an online questionnaire via the Leisure in Swindon website www.leisureinswindon.co.uk.
Meanwhile, GVA, the firm responsible for fielding interest in the facilities, has said there has been plenty of interest from established leisure companies looking to take hold of either the golf or leisure centre packages.
The consultation will run until 5pm on March 3. The results of the consultation will be presented to the council's Cabinet in late spring to help inform councillors before a decision is made on a preferred bidder.

You can guarantee it will make things worse for the paying public just like the Oasis. Will there be any publicly owned public services and leisure facilities left. What will they do once they've flogged off everything there is to sell?

Terrible news. Yet another of our facilities to be either sold off, cutback or privatised.

JWoww Engaged! Check Out Her Massive Rock
September 26, 2012 10:51 AM by Lisa Princ
Jenni "JWoww" Farley of MTV's Jersey Shore is officially off the market! Yep, the
plastic surgery addict's party girl's beau Roger finally popped the question, and just as JWoww had hoped, she huge rock on her finger!
It was just your average skydiving session for Jenni "JWoww" Farley and her beau, Roger Mathews. Or at least that is what JWoww thought: "I look over and see a hand-written sign: 'Jenni, will you … ' and then I turned to him and freaked out." Speaking to In Touch Magazine, JWoww continued to gush that she had no idea Roger was trying to propose: "The whole time I'm screaming, 'What are you doing? What's going on?' He's like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you allow me to?'"
Of course, when presented with a massive 5 plus carat diamond to boot, what girl would not say yes? Check out the picture below of Jenni's new bling:
JWoww says that the ring is more than she ever imagined, adding: "Roger's not an average-looking guy, he's huge: his personality, his size [6'4"]. So I always said, 'I want my ring like you — big! The bigger the better!'"
So, when's the big day? The couple are not rushing down the aisle, but one thing that Jenni is sure of – Snooki will be part of her big day! "If there's anyone in this world that wanted me to be engaged more than me, it'd be Nicole," JWoww says of Snooki, whom was the first person to hear her exciting news!
Congratulations to JWoww and Roger! What do you think of Jenni's engagement ring? We know you have an opinion, and we want you to sound off below! Comment and share your thoughts with us!

Crazy in Love
Crazy in Love
Two-and-a-half years ago, I piled into an SUV with my friends and headed to a young people's AA conference in Eugene, Oregon, armed with plenty of Sugar free Rockstar and Larabars to get me through the sleepless weekend. I came back with a soon-to-be boyfriend; the guy who'd end up stealing my heart and adopting a cat with me. Ironically, many, if not most young people in recovery use these conferences as a venue for scoping random fuck buddies and one-night-stands. Sobriety doesn't make us saints, I suppose. If anything, I believe sober teens and twenty-somethings are more prone to acting out sexually, smoking cigarettes, and participating in other generally unhealthy practices than our "normie" counterparts. This isn't scientific research by any means, just an observation I've made after spending several years in the 12-step communities, surrounded mostly by restless young people.
Chris and I found ourselves in a delirium-induced conversation one night in our hotel room (a double we shared with six other people, naturally) at the conference. We had been friends for some time and I considered it a small miracle that it had taken so long to have a confessional conversation because my feelings for Chris had been festering for months. Had I still been drinking, there's no question that I would've drunkenly thrown myself at him the same day I realized I found him attractive, girlfriend be damned, and probably lost any chance at actually dating him. My filter had always disappeared upon imbibing, preventing me from ever courting a guy with grace. Developing feelings for an entirely unavailable person was not unusual behavior by any means. I'd ruined friendships after breaking the unspoken rule that wise old Ronnie of Jersey Shore fame refers to as "guy code": under no circumstances should any self-respecting friend have relations of the sexual or even flirtatious variety with someone said person's friend has been with, wants to be with, or is currently with—even if Facebook says "It's complicated." Like The Situation, drinking never stopped me from breaking that rule.
Without alcohol to stir up trouble and stoke insecurities, Chris and I fell in love quickly and painlessly. It was what happened afterwards that was the challenge.
When I did actually catch myself developing feelings for anyone, I never gave it a fair chance. We would go on a lovely date but the next day, I would snort coke at a party and ignore his calls. I would disclose to him one of my secrets—most of which are now, ironically, searchable by anyone with an Internet connection—then tell him I needed space. The gaping hole inside my chest craved the fulfillment that a loving, committed relationship offered but the terror that always accompanied the prospect of pain won out every time. Each time I made myself untouchable I was left alone, my heart bubble-wrapped and unscathed, pouring alcohol into the nameless void inside me.
Some alcoholics insist that dating is simply awkward and difficult when first dates don't take place on barstools. As far as I'm concerned, removing alcohol from the dating puzzle makes other components of relationships much easier and removes certain obstacles entirely. Sobriety allows the early days of the relationship to go much more smoothly—at least if both parties are not fresh off the bottle or dry drunks. Without alcohol to stir up trouble and stoke insecurities, Chris and I fell in love quickly and painlessly. It was what happened afterwards that was the challenge.
Anyone who has dated within the recovery circle has experienced the do-I-or-don't-I predicament that arises when someone's program has fallen by the wayside, boundaries become blurred, and the idea of begging your significant other to go to a meeting or call his sponsor becomes wildly appealing. When I subjected Chris to this dilemma during my second year of sobriety, as I began to suffer crippling, unexpected bouts of anxiety and depression, the shame nearly ate me alive. When I woke up paralyzed in bed or sobbed uncontrollably for the better part of a day, Chris would stroke my hair and tell me it would be okay, that I wasn't crazy, that he loved me no matter what. His compassion and understanding defied my deeply rooted, almost subconscious beliefs that I am utterly broken and unlovable but I also knew in the back of my mind that our relationship was abnormal. Nobody expects 19-year-old boys to take care of anything, let alone another person. Suddenly, before we'd been together for even a year, Chris was confronted with my worst defects—ones that hadn't even revealed themselves when I was coked out of my mind or blacked out and filter-less—and was forced to choose between normalcy or his girlfriend. Every day, he bore witness to my tears when an Iron and Wine song came up on shuffle, or when I couldn't finish my Post-Colonial Lit homework or maybe just if the sink was full of dirty dishes. The tears flowed so freely that I was taking pregnancy tests every other week, wondering if an ill-fated child was the cause of my perpetual emotional instability.
My "episodes," as we began to call them, were so all-consuming for both of us that I lived in constant fear that Chris would leave me for a normal 20-year old girl—one who didn't chain-smoke cigarettes and then beg him to hold her while she cried over the way they made her smell. The fear produced a sort of over-vigilance that led, in turn, to even more episodes. Any offhand comment—he told me my lipstick was smeared or he couldn't have an impromptu dinner with me because he had plans—was subject to over-analysis and subsequent emotional collapse because I could twist absolutely anything he said to confirm my conviction that Chris would inevitably tire of my relentless drama and leave me for good. I was caught in a seemingly unbreakable cycle of fear, anxiety, and desperation, leaving him to bear the brunt of it all.
As I spiraled downward into depression and turned to him for comfort, Chris encouraged me to call my sponsor. Attempting to keep your partner sober and sane is a dauntingly codependent task and he continually encouraged me to look elsewhere for answers. The program itself had trained me to look within the rooms for the solution, so I called my sponsor in hysterics every day, went to meetings, worked with sponsees, and prayed constantly. When nothing changed, I attempted to pray better, to call my sponsor better, to write more thorough 10th steps. Nothing worked—if anything, the unmet expectations that taking suggestions would fix me led to an even more crushing sense of depression. The fear that I was irrevocably broken somewhere deep inside seemed to be coming true. If I was too fucked up for AA, where could I go? Was I just too lazy? Was I overthinking it? Did I just need to pray a little bit harder for God's will to be revealed before things would fall into place?
When I would call my sponsor, grand sponsor, or any woman in AA and tell her that I couldn't stop crying because my boyfriend left to hang out with his friends and I was afraid he would leave me for freaking out about it but I couldn't stop and I felt like my mind was slowly eating away at my soul and I wanted to fucking disappear, I was usually told to simply pray about my feelings. Nobody in AA is qualified to give psychological advice; sponsors are there to tell us what they've done to stay sober and nothing more, which is why none of the women I confided in knew what to say. They gave suggestions of the most general variety, and when I followed them to no avail, I felt like I was failing at AA. In meetings, people refer to themselves as "crazy" or "insane" without the steps; I assumed I was just another one of these people and I couldn't understand why the program wasn't making life livable anymore. I don't remember when Chris began encouraging me to find a therapist but I know he was one of the only people to do so. In the rooms, they call it "seeking outside help" but because mental disorders and other addictions are considered outside issues, I don't think it's always obvious to alcoholics that they're suffering from depression, anxiety and myriad other addictions and issues. I am, without a doubt, one of these people but because I came into the rooms at such a young and impressionable age and was taught as a child not to trust my own feelings by my addict parents, I soaked up the idea that the 12 steps are the ultimate solution. When it came time to find a therapist, the idea filled me with exhaustion. But I did it, with the help of the boyfriend that I never believed I deserved.
Therapy changed everything. My counselor was incredibly perceptive and kind. She taught me within a few sessions that the debilitating anxiety I was feeling was the residual effect of the loss of an emotionally present mother. I had never experienced so deeply the fear of being abandoned prior to my relationship with Chris because, in my addiction, I diligently kept people at arms' length, never giving anyone except the bottle the power to hurt me. In sobriety, finally letting someone all the way in activated an impulse to assume the worst about absolutely everything in order to somehow predict or prevent any future losses. In addition to sorting out the emotional web that had little to do with my alcoholism, my therapist determined that I needed some neurochemical balance and I began taking a mood stabilizer. In a matter of months, it was as if I had taken off a pair of thick sunglasses that had been darkening everything I could see. The excruciating, endless hours of lying in bed, smearing mascara all over my boyfriend's pillow were, for the most part, over. For the first time I could remember, I was able to take things at face value. Chris could tell me I had a stain on my shirt and I wouldn't even begin to think he was subliminally informing me that he was no longer attracted to me. As time went on, I found an entirely new level of freedom.
I've been forced to go head to head with the most gruesome parts of myself and come out the other side a stronger woman, rather than taking a left turn at the sight of pain and pouring some rum down my throat.
If I were still drinking, I seriously doubt I would've ever allowed anyone to get close enough to allow my deep-rooted abandonment issues to surface as they did, and sometimes still do, in my relationship with Chris. If I had somehow met him out there in my drunken Adderall haze, I would have attempted to get him to cheat on the girlfriend that came before me, painting a picture of myself as a slutty party girl and probably ruining any chance at something real. Truth be told, Chris and I have gotten lucky. At an age when most people spend their weekends having anonymous drunken sex, and in a community where sex and people are often treated like just another drug, we've found something much more meaningful. I've been forced to go head to head with the most gruesome parts of myself and come out the other side a stronger woman, rather than taking a left turn at the sight of pain and pouring some rum down my throat. Some AA's say that nothing reveals our character defects like becoming romantically involved with another alcoholic, as if it's a negative thing, but I'd rather believe that nothing teaches us more about ourselves than giving another human being the power to break us.

Dianna Agron Not Hated By Glee Cast, New Report Fires Back
While we still have no idea why original Glee cast member Quinn (Dianna Agron) won't be making an appearance on tomorrow's Season 5, Episode 3 tribute to Cory Monteith, we can now rest assured that Dianna is still very-much loved by her former co-workers on the show.
Earlier this week, drama-filled reports posited that Dianna's exclusion from the tribute episode was because members of the cast and crew can't stand working with her. According to the report's source, Lea Michele (Rachel) and show creator Ryan Murphy "intensely dislike Dianna and have both worked to marginalize her as much as possible."
Thankfully (and just as we suspected), we now know that Dianna is as loved by the Glee crew as ever. How could she not be, after all?
"She is still very much a part of the Glee family and always welcome," a source told E! News.
Another insider agreed that the rumors of cast and crew conflict with Dianna are "not true at all."
We're relieved to know our favorite cast members past and present aren't feuding, but we're still curious about the real reason Dianna was left out of the tribute episode. The actress had previously said she was surprised about never being approached for an appearance — which makes sense considering Quinn's extensive history with Finn. Ryan, on the other hand, explained that he'd written in any actor who asked to be in the episode, perhaps hinting that Dianna never approached him for an appearance.
Are you surprised that Dianna wasn't asked to be in the Cory Monteith tribute episode? Do you think she should be? Let us know in the comments below!

Keeps calling me:@ not answering it
This numbers is from france landline, its a scam and will cost you to answer it. add to your reject list.
These people have called me on a few occasions but never had time to answer until today. Only stayed on the line couple of seconds and could hear people chatting in the background then they quickly hung up. Very annoying now!!
A real nuisance, keeps ringing when answered no response. Have contacted the Police to try and trace and deal with.
Just phoned me, literally 2 mins ago. Managed to answer as my phone was right next to me ( I normally miss it even thought they phone at least once a day ). My friend answered and they asked for me, first and second name. Not just miss ............ like normal companies do. My friend did say they sounded American but I have heard its Scottish power - by the way it was on the news the other day that Scottish power are not even Scottish!
Talk about a Serious Pain in the Arse! If it's receiving money for each number they call, it's probably some little Tossa in a call service, trying to track up as many calls as pos! Probably a Scam! Spam!
Several times a day, even if I pick up in time all there is, is breathing then hang up. TPS doesn't do any good.
Who are these people?? The phone rings just a few times, then rings off. This happens several times a day! Is it an international number. Pain in the but.
this number calls me and cuts off before I can answere just would like to know from where and to whom this number belongs thanks
This phone number is a pain in the arse, calling my mobile 2/3 times a day , wtf !
Have these answers been helpful? Have you had a different experience with this number? Just tell us your problem with the 003301239014. Describe your experience, the frequency of the calls, timing... Everything! Every single detail is important! We have a huge community with problems like yours, they will be willing to help you!

Wake Forest Baseball Drums Xavier, 18-3
Feb. 28, 2006
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest blasted five home runs, two each from redshirt junior Brendan Enick and freshman Allan Dykstra, in a 18-3 rout of Xavier Tuesday. With the victory, the Demon Deacons improve to 7-3 on the season and extend their winning streak to five games.
Enick, making his first start since the season-opening doubleheader, belted his second career grand slam in the eight-run fourth inning and added a solo bomb in the eighth. The designated hitter went 4-for-5 with four runs scored and six RBI -- both career-highs. For Enick, the home runs were his first and second of the season and sixth and seventh of his career.
Dykstra, carrying a hot stick after his performance at the Pepsi Baseball Classic this past weekend, continued his torrid stretch. The first basemen went 2-for-4 with his second and third homers of the season, three runs scored and three RBI. Over the last four games, Dykstra is batting a robust .500 (8-for-16) with three home runs and seven RBI.
Redshirt junior Dan Rosaia also had quite an afternoon. The catcher went 2-for-5 with a three-run double and a solo home run. Rosaia is now tied with Dykstra for second on the Deacons with eight RBI.
In all, Wake Forest (7-3) pounded out a season-high 16 hits -- the most since a 23-hit attack against Maryland in last year's ACC Tournament. The five home runs are the most for the Demon Deacons in a single game since they smoked six against Duke on May 17, 2002.
Redshirt sophomore Eric Williams chipped in with three hits, two runs scored and two RBI. Williams, who leads Wake Forest with 10 RBI, also added three walks and reached base in all six plate appearances. Junior All-American Matt Antonelli went 2-for-4 with three runs scored, while freshman Evan Ocheltree went 1-for-5 with a run scored and his first career RBI.
Mark Janszen (0-1) was charged with the loss for Xavier (2-6). The right-hander allowed seven runs, all earned, on five hits in 3.1 innings of work.
The Wake Forest pitching staff, which allowed just four earned runs all weekend in Florida, was solid once again.
Freshman Brad Kledzik (2-0) picked up the victory. The right-hander went 5.0 innings and allowed just one earned run on seven hits. Kledzik struck out three and walked a pair. Senior Kyle Young, freshman Tyler Smith, sophomore Eric Niesen and junior Josh Ellis each tossed one scoreless inning. The quartet surrendered two hits and no earned runs, while fanning six.
Over the Deacons last five games, all victories, the Wake Forest pitching staff has 1.37 earned run average and their opponents are batting just .205. The Deacs have lowered their team ERA from 7.93 to 4.50.
Wake Forest returns to action this weekend for a three-game series against Wright State. The series opener on Friday is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Freshman southpaw Garrett Bullock will take the mound for the Demon Deacons.

Market and Livelihoods programme
This is an archive page. For the most recent information, please see our main page on agricultural production and market access in Latin America.
Agricultural production, agroprocessing and markets
The incomes and livelihoods of poor people will improve where they are able to use technologies, and their skills, knowledge, networks and resources to enter into and adapt to market systems that work effectively and fairly.
We train farmers as promoters using methods adapted to the local culture; thus, peasant promoters are trained in technology transfer, development, and adjustment so that these technologies may be used in small agroindustry and forestry-related micro businesses. Technical assistance and training in technologies, business management and commercialization is also provided to small agroindustrial units; and support is also provided for the establishment of productive chains.
We also promote the use of improved practices in terms of the management of water for irrigation, models of more efficient and egalitarian entrepreneurial farmer organizations, the strengthening of rural and urban micro businesses, and training in the elaboration and commercialization of farming and forestry products.
Since 1997 Practical Action has been working with resource-poor farming communities in the Peruvian Andes, exploring alternative approaches to extension service provision. The model that developed is based on the training of local farmer-to-farmer extension agents known as Kamayoq. Practical Action established a Kamayoq training facility and to date over 140 Kamayoq have been trained of whom 20 per cent are women. More ...
Participatory video
We are trialling the use of participatory video. This approach hands over the control of making a video, from initial idea through to filming and editing, to community members. Insight, an organisation with much experience in this area, was commissioned to engage with the local community to produce a video and capture the learning from this process. They will be producing a training kit which will enable team leaders and project managers to follow this approach. It is hoped to replicate this in other countries as a means of directly capturing local knowledge and expertise. More ...
List of production and access to markets projects in Latin America | Project news | Programme history
Main achievements to date
- Developed methods to transfer appropriate agro-processing technologies which have allowed improving the living conditions of small producers. We are one of the leading organizations in the use of extension methodologies for rural promoters.
- Reinforced the technical capacities of national schools and development organizations (NGOs, education centers, and technical institutes) in the area of agroprocessing.
- Comprehensive work in productive chains associated with products such as milk, coffee, native potatoes, alpacas, grains and forests.
- Promoted the Rural Agroindustry Network (REDAR) as a space for exchanging information and sharing experiences at the national level (with 41 members) and at the Latin American level through its 15 member networks.
- Improved irrigation infrastructure in 40 peasant communities, with beneficiaries including over 2,996 peasant families.
- Provided technical assistance and promoted the adoption of improved technologies among over 8,150 peasant families. This has been achieved by the training of 320 rural promoters (using peasant to peasant education model).
- Established the Institute of promotion for water management (Iproga) to improve the management of water for irrigation purposes. This organization is integrated by 33 individual members, 16 institutional members, and two honorary members.
- Developed appropriate methodologies for the sustainable management of forest in the Peruvian Amazon region.
- Reforestation of more than 3,000 hectares and forest management. 50 rural promoters provide technical assistance in forest management.
- 200 teachers have improved their capacities for delivering environmentally-oriented education.
- 68 publications (books, manuals, technical sheets) related to food processing, irrigation, farming for rural communities.
- Creation of an specialized information system for the Peruvian Dairy Sector: www.infolactea.com.

West Virginia began spring practices with significant questions at both quarterback and running back. Three months later, the Mountaineers are all but set at both spots with two new additions—and neither have played one snap in Morgantown.
Charles Sims, who decided to stay at Houston instead of leaving early for the NFL, left the Cougars' program and last week announced he has transferred to WVU, where he will be eligible immediately as a graduate student. Sims blossomed under former Houston coach Kevin Sumlin in his first two years, and had a solid season last year under new coach Tony Levine – but the Cougars tanked on the field.
At WVU, Sims will be joined by quarterback Clint Trickett, who left Florida State after spring practice – and after it was obvious he wasn't going to beat out redshirt freshman Jameis Winston for the starting job. Trickett will have two seasons of eligibility, and can play this fall as a graduate student.
The moves give WVU coach Dana Holgorsen some stability at critical positions in his wide-open offense. Sims played in a nearly identical system at Houston (Holgorsen was offensive coordinator at Houston under Sumlin), and gives the WVU running game a legitimate threat at a position that struggled so badly last season, Holgorsen eventually used wideout Tavon Austin at the position late in the season.

I watch as Ariel Vromen and Ray Liotta, the director and one of the stars of "The Iceman," the opening night film, enter the room and are politely swarmed. Liotta belies his scary filmic persona by cheerfully submitting to a constant barrage of picture requests, posing with all and sundry.
As Kevin McNeely says when ebulliently introducing the opening film, 80% of the films in the festival have filmmakers in attendance: "Why wouldn't they want to come to Sonoma? They're certainly going to get enough to eat and drink!" He introduces the mayor of Sonoma, Ken Brown, who is wearing a black Netflix t-shirt, black pants, and has a braided ponytail down his back: he looks like an aging grad student, except an aging grad student would probably be wearing shoes. "We love that you spend money," he says candidly to the audience.
The intros are blessedly brief. I'm even entranced by the festival promo film, an odd but beguiling mash-up of a CG robot who writes down a Jack London quote about Sonoma -- "The afternoon sun smolders in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive. I am all sun and air and sparkles…" -- before donning Charlie Chaplin attire and walking off through the vineyards. And also an adorable promo for Mia's Kitchen, full of pasta-eating babies and toddlers, that surprises with its credit: made by the students of the Sonoma Valley High School Media Arts Program. The romantic Oscar-winning animated short "Paperman" screens before the feature, something of an odd tonal choice with "The Iceman."
I saw "The Iceman," back in September, also in Telluride, when it was starting its festival career, and was impressed with its uniformly excellent cast, especially the wonderful Michael Shannon in the title role as the hit man who tells his loving and clueless family that he's in the currency business. It's fun to see it again, in a sold-out house that's hanging on every word. This time I'm more impressed with the production design and costumes -- the film covers a twenty-year period, from the 60s to the 80s -- and cinematography by the prolific, gifted Bobby Bukowski, as well as performances from Liotta, Winona Ryder, James Franco, David Schwimmer, Robert Davi, and a nearly unrecognizable and decidedly unsuperheroic Chris Evans.
Afterwards there's a spirited q-and-a. Liotta, who's just finished his second Muppet movie -- "me and Danny Trejo singing and dancing" -- allows as how he'd like to vary his usually intense fare with a romantic lead: "I'd like to kiss the girl without having to choke her first." Vromen says he cast Liotta because he needed someone who could be as dangerous as Shannon -- citing a scene in which Liotta pushed a gun into Shannon's cheek so forcefully that you can see the mark it left when he pulls the gun away. We learn that the New York and New Jersey-set film was actually shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, thanks to tax incentives. And that Chris Evans,who plays Shannon's partner in crime, switched roles with James Franco at the last minute, after Franco's father died and he couldn't make the schedule. Liotta says that he used to do more preparation and research for his roles, but after a while you just realize it's pretend, and the most important thing is the script, to which you just submit. Vromen just received a text, at dinner, from the wife of the character Shannon portrayed, with whom he didn't have contact during the filmmaking -- she's just seen the movie and liked it, and she and her two daughters will attend the upcoming New York premiere to support the film.
I could use a drink, and luckily there's an afterparty at
The General's Daughter, an event space housed in an 1864 house once the home
of, yes, the daughter of General Vallejo, who presided over California's
transition from a Mexican district to an American state, and her husband, who
founded California's first winery. Wine is flowing, but I choose an
expertly-made Old-Fashioned, because -- wait for it -- I'm an old-fashioned
