How To Switch To WebKit in Konqueror Browser [KDE SC 4.5 / Kubuntu]
With KDE Software Compilation 4.5, you can use WebKit in Konqueror instead of the default KHTML. There are several advantages of using WebKit over KHTML.

The vitriol and scorn from Maranello was palpable in the wake of the French courts' rebuff of Scuderia's request for an injunction against the FIA's proposed rules for the 2010 Formula One season. Luca di Montezemolo, Scuderia Ferrari,...
The vitriol and scorn from Maranello was palpable in the wake of the French courts' rebuff of Scuderia's request for an injunction against the FIA's proposed rules for the 2010 Formula One season.
"Wirth Research, Lola, USF1, Epsilon Euskadi, RML, Formtech, Campos, iSport: these are the names of the teams which would compete in the two-tier Formula One wanted by Mosley," said the team's press release. "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it Formula GP3?"
Oh, how short memories are. Even if the FIA pushes ahead with the dual set of rules, one for the cost-capped teams and another one for the rest, it certainly will not be the first time there are two clear "tiers" in Formula One.
In 1971, CSI (then independent of the FIA) added the option of 1.5-litre compressed (turbo- or supercharged) engines, in addition to the then-standard three-liter naturally aspirated engines. A minor footnote, perchance, until Renault introduced its RS01 in 1977, with a 1.5-litre turbo engine. With its bright yellow colour and the penchant of stopping at the side of the track with smoke pouring out, it may have been a bit of a laughingstock, until Jean-Pierre Jabouille gave the team its first victory in 1979.
By 1982, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ferrari and Hart and joined the turbo brigade, with the smaller teams soldiering on with the Cosworth DFV. With the fragility of the turbo engines, and their restricted availability, there was no doubt that the difference between the factory-supported BMW, Ferrari and Renault entries and the (primarily British) privateer teams running Cosworths amounted to two tiers.
Keke Rosberg -- Nico's father -- managed to squeak out a world championship that year in a Cosworth-powered Williams. The death of Gilles Villeneuve and the serious injuries to Didier Pironi clouded the season, though the DFV brigade also had to deal with disqualifications in Brazil and a FOCA (the FOTA predecessor) boycott in San Marino.
The venerable Cosworth scored its 155th and final victory, but as late as 1988, the smaller teams (Tyrrell, Williams, AGS, March, Benetton, Rial, Minardi, Larousse, Coloni, EuroBrun, BMS) were still running normally aspirated -- mostly Cosworth DFZ -- engines.
This was two-tier Formula One, no doubt, with many privateer teams. It wasn't called GP3 back then, either, except possibly in the private confines of Maranello. And few fans old enough to remember the close racing and full grids of the 1980s would rue the return
However, Ferrari wasn't complaining at that time. The second tier was no threat to the first, and to Ferrari.
While this week's Ferrari press release implies that Ferrari's actions are all for the fans, let's not forget that Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, whose personal fortune is estimated to be worth over $400M, is also the chairman of the giant Fiat conglomerate, the owner of Ferrari.
There is no doubt that Ferrari's racing activities are a business first and foremost: if the Fiat and Ferrari management did not believe that they were getting full value for their Formula One activities, they would have been gone long before Honda, regardless of the tifosi.
Formula One is both a sport and a business, and has seen its share of ruthless characters. However, one would have expected more class -- and a longer memory -- from a team that has been mollycoddled by the FIA in recent years, and from an Italian aristocrat who has been involved with Ferrari since 1973.
Bring on 2010, and full grids for Formula One. Every other team that has appeared in the championship since its inception in 1950 has been proven replaceable, whether Lotus, Mercedes, Brabham or Porsche, and it's unlikely that Ferrari would prove to be the exception.

On Sunday, The Huffington Post UK turned three. To mark this occasion, the front page carried the three best bits of advice business leaders have ever been given in the pursuit of success. In the same vein, then, I'm sharing the three tips I've distilled from my twenty years working in the advertising and marketing industry...
In Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 movie Rumblefish, Mickey Rourke's doomed anti-hero Motorcycle Boy mutters: "If you'd going to lead people, you have to have somewhere to go." It's a thought that CEOs of today's entertainment and media businesses might usefully ponder as they strive to lead their organisations - and their people - through the turbulence of digital disruption.
Perhaps like many others I'm not yet convinced the on role Google Glass will play in the interview and hiring process, however the fact that someone out there is trying, irrespective of its long term success or otherwise, should be applauded - I am certainly watching with interest and will be keen to see the result.
It seems that Brawn is relishing the chance to take advantage of some leisure time after several decades of toil, tumult and success in Formula 1. Having won two titles while at Benetton, Brawn followed 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher to Ferrari secure another five titles with the Italian carmaker.
My colleagues often ask why I use Twitter so often. There is a belief amongst those who do not really use it that everyone is just broadcasting the details of their breakfast, or which train they are waiting for. This is a misconception.

Picture: The Smiths - Adly Syairi Ramly, a self-proclaimed music and LEGO junkie, has transformed the toy brand's famous figures into some of the world's most...
Former The Smiths star Johnny Marr and country trio the Dixie Chicks have given Crowded House's comeback a boost by collaborating with the reformed rockers on their new album.
Marr, the current guitarist for cult US indie act Modest Mouse, contributes to two tracks on the album, Time On Earth - Crowded House's first release in 14 years - while the Dixie Chicks have offered the song, Silent House, for the project.
The new album will be released on 2 July (07) in UK with more dates pending for the rest of the world, according to Billboard.com.
Crowded House make their official live bow at the Coachella Festival in California this weekend (28Apr07), but will prepare for that show with a low-key warm-up concert in Tempe, Arizona tomorrow night (26Apr07).

Riga, Latvia (Jul. 4)
After languishing a year in prison, Dr. A. Meisel and A. Rabinowich, leaders of the Bund, Jewish Socialist organization, were released here today.
The two Jewish Socialists were sentenced to prison for their radical sympathies when the present Latvian dictatorship came into power more than a year ago.
All political organizations were then declared illegal and were ordered dissolved. The various Jewish organizations, including the Zionists, the Bund and the Poale Zionists, were also declared illegal.
The Poale Zionist leaders were given the privilege of leaving the country for Palestine. The leaders of the Bund were sent to jail.
Only the Agudah, Jewish Orthodox organization, and representing only a fraction of Latvian Jewry, was permitted to carry on, and its organ is today the only Jewish publication appearing in Latvia.

Accra, March 16, GNA - The Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors of Ghana (ABCECG) has welcomed government's decision to review portions of the Public Procurement Law to provide local companies advantage in the bidding process.
It described the move as laudable, and would go a long way to grow indigenous companies and called for support and encouragement for government to implement the review.
The Association recently complained about instances where contracts under the National Competitive Tendering process, which by law should go to local companies were being given to foreign companies.
The decision to amend the Public Procurement Law to support local companies therefore, would address their worries.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra, Mr Rockson Dogbegah, Chairman of the Technical Committee of ABCECG said public procurement was a major tool in the hands of government to promote the growth of local companies.
He said the review could therefore be aptly done so that public procurement would become one major way to develop the economy through indigenous firms.
"When good local companies get jobs from government, the country will be better off. This is because they will employ more people and pay higher taxes," Mr Dogbegah said.
While commending government for the move, he tasked contractors and local companies in general, to complement the gesture by ensuring quality and timely delivery of their projects.
"Government cannot support failing local companies or companies who will do sub-standard work, else it will amount to waste of scarce public resources, so we must also improve on our performance," he stressed.
Mr Dogbegah encouraged government not to backtrack on this decision even in the face of external pressures since it had the potential to significantly create an economy based on indigenous business and wealth.
The Chairman of ABCECG Technical Committee urged government to review duties on imported machines for construction work.
He said the duties were so high it discouraged companies from importing the appropriate and most efficient machines for construction works.
"Sometimes the duty paid on a truck loader can buy another truck and we think something has to be done about it," Mr Dogbegah said.
Mr Dogbegah expressed the hope that government would continue to implement policies to support local companies.
The association called for the establishment of a Construction Industry Development Board in Ghana to help address the sector's challenges as well as promote its growth.

Let's take a look at last year's infamous but now all-but-forgotten interest rate spike in May and June. When former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave the market its first whiff of tapering, the reaction was swift and startling-the 10-yr jumped from 1.90% to 2.50% in five weeks:
AMJ data by YCharts
In much the same vain, as the 10-year rate has come off the 3% level since New Year's Eve, REITs, MLPs, Utilities and Emerging Markets (as represented by Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO)) have all found much steadier footing. We outlined some additional bullish points for the emerging markets a couple weeks ago here.
AMJ data by YCharts
It's not always easy to stay diversified -- to maintain allocations to these interest-rate-sensitive assets seemed a fool's errand last year. As a result, many investors have missed out on some very nice performance over the past four months.
So how should we be positioned going forward? In my view, what's worked so far this year is likely to keep working. The chart above demonstrates the 10-year Treasury being range bound and its current yield sitting at the top end of a current range.
Should it fall further from here we are likely to see continued strength in the bond surrogates (AMJ, IDU, VNQ). For taxable accounts, you may wish to consider individual MLPs for the tax advantage -- we like AmeriGas Partners (APU), Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), TransMontaigne Partners (TLP) and Williams Partners (WPZ) right now.
Now, the arguments for higher rates make a lot of sense and shouldn't be dismissed by any stretch. But I'm not ready to bet with the herd just yet.
At the time of publication the author is long AMJ, VNQ, VWO, APU, ETP, TLP and WPZ..

Blog PSU problem big
Warning: There is a problem in the PCB on the Simplecortex 1.2 in the power supply:
We got a Simplecortex from the latest revision in our mailbox a couple days ago and sadly enough there is a problem in the pinout of the Simplecortex as shown in the bottom picture:
The current batch of 50 has this problem. If you got a Simplecortex that is revision 1.2 (White PCB with logo on the bottom, version number is on the box) this problem applies. Plugging in a shield will result in a shortcircuit between the GND and 3.3V! Using the external power supply will result in the high external voltage to be applied on the 3.3V pin of the shield! An external 5V power can be applied on the second USB connector if required. Most shields can be used with a small fix:

Hello, I'm Kelley. I'm expecting our third child in early April, but am wracked with anxiety at the moment.
We lost our cherished first child, Isabelle, in May 2011 at the age of 2.5 very suddenly due to an aggressive virus that had reached her brain and caused fatal swelling (called viral meningoencephalitis). (www.bubblesforisabelle.com or Bubbles for Isabelle on Facebook to learn more about our experience.) And we have a son, 23 months old, who is well and happy and a source of pure sunshine for us. We were blessed with this pregnancy in July (as you all know!)...
But my nerves are on edge... Everything with this pregnancy has gone well, but she (it's a little girl) is trending on the small side (hovering around the 10% of size). She is active, great CTG reading on Friday (the first one we've had), and great pulsing of the placenta/umbilical cord. Basically, they say she could just be a small baby - but it just doesn't sit well as my other children were 7lbs13oz (Isabelle) and 7lbs7oz (our son Sebastian) - fairly average in size. Could she be small because of the stress? I can't find any solid evidence on this... Given the traumatic year we've had, and feeling like I can't bear too much more, I so concerned there is something wrong with this baby. When you've experienced a tragedy "that only happens to other people" you suddenly realize that anything can happen. I keep thinking of all of these rare genetic disorders or something... I can't bear the thought outliving another child or having a high needs child at this point - I know that makes me sound weak, but I guess I am right now.
So please, if you have any encouraging words or spare prayers - I would appreciate them. I think...I HOPE...I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but I'm just so worried.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I don't know if I have anything helpful to say. I am so very sorry for your loss and how difficult it must be. It is very understandable for you to be anxious about your new baby.
Just remember--if your doctors think things are ok, and prenatal tests have been good, there is probably nothing to worry about. And a small baby by itself is nothing to worry about--my DD was in very low percentiles 3-10% during her whole infancy and she is fine.
I hope you can find a way to enjoy this part of your pregnancy and not be too anxious about things that are beyond your control. Easy for me to say, I know...but I think we all have these fears even if we haven't had to face the reality as you did.
This is not the same kind of loss at all, but I have had two miscarriages and during this pregnancy, I worry probably every day that I will lose it, but would just say to myself, "Now I am pregnant. Now I feel the baby moving. This is the only moment that matters right now" sort of reminding myself to focus on the present as much as possible and not on things that were out of my hands.
Hard to do, I know.
You have been through a lot over the past year, but remember stress is NEVER good. Try to relax and just be in faith that everything is going to be all right. If the drs are not concerned, then I wouldn't be bothered by it. Every baby is different...even if they are siblings. I know I was born much smaller than my two brothers and still am much smaller than them.
But stressing is seriously not going to help ANYTHING! I know it may be hard to relax about it, but really it is best for you and the baby. =)
Prayers for your healing~~~~~

At its regular meeting on 23 July 2013, Council resolved to abandon the Racecourse Road Activities Area Structure Plan and Amendment C118. The proposal to implement the Racecourse Road Structure Plan and Urban Design Guidelines via the Activity Centre Zone will therefore not proceed.
It is important to note, however, that Racecourse Road will continue to be designated an Activity Centre under the new State Metropolitan Planning Strategy, Plan Melbourne.
View the decision in the Council Meeting Minutes.
Council wrote to the Minister for Planning advising of its intention to abandon the amendment.
Council wishes to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in the development of these documents and to those who made submissions during the exhibition period.
Council may re-look at these documents again at a later stage and provide the community with another opportunity to provide input and feedback.
Over that past four years Council has been developing long term planning documents to oversee the growth and change of the Racecourse Road Activities Area. These documents are:
A structure plan is a long term strategic plan for an activities area to ensure growth and development is guided and appropriate, while urban design guidelines more clearly articulate how this development should be designed.
The structure plan and urban design guidelines need a corresponding planning tool to allow them to be officially implemented. This tool is called an Activity Centre Zone (ACZ). The ACZ provides guidance regarding what can be built within the activities area as well as how land can be used.
In order to assist the implementation of the Racecourse Road Activities Area Structure Plan and Urban Design Guidelines, changes to the Moonee Valley Planning Scheme will be required. This involves rezoning land within the Racecourse Road Activities Area to the ACZ.
To rezone this area, Council must follow a process stipulated by the State Government. This process is called a 'planning scheme amendment'. More specifically, this particular process involving the Racecourse Road Activities Area is called Planning Scheme Amendment C118.
The draft structure plan, urban design guidelines and ACZ documentation (Amendment C118) for Racecourse Road were endorsed for the purpose of community consultation by Council on Tuesday, 18 September, 2012.
These documents were placed on consultation from 31 January to 15 March, 2013.
The amendment documents are available for download as follows:
Explanatory Report (34KB)
Clause 21.05 (Built Environment) (440KB)
Clause 21.06 (Activity Centres) (344KB)
Clause 21.07 (Economic Development) (201KB)
Clause 21.09 (Transport and Access) (178KB)
Clause 37.08 (Schedule 3 to the Activity Centre Zone) (1.2MB)
Rezoning to Activity Centre Zone Map (138KB)
Applying the Environmental Audit Overlay Map (185KB)
Instruction Sheet (23KB)
List of Changes (21KB)
The structure plan, urban design guidelines and Amendment C118 were consulted on from 31 January - 15 March 2013. This process resulted in over 170 submissions being received from the community, providing valuable input into the future vision for the area.
Although Amendment C118 was to be referred to an independent planning panel in late May 2013, Council requested a deferral of this process from the Minister for Planning through Notice of Motion 2013/02. For further details, view Notice of Motion 2013/02. The Amendment has subsequently been abandoned.

Like highly trained hounds snuffling for truffles, the Smith collective is always on the hunt for new drinking dens. However, even we were surprised to hear of a new liquor-laden lair (with flair) in Leicester Square – aka the veritable armpit of London).
We'd been invited to a Christmas shindig at the London Cocktail Club (LCC), so westwards we headed, thirsting for festivities. And darn it, we deserved a drink – if battling through the crowds, straining muscles (and soul) under the weight of bulging bags, and watching our bank balance plummet from healthy to hopeless doesn't warrant an eggnog or three, Lord knows what does.
Clutching our invitation, we dodged buses, tourists and mini-skirted harridans and found ourselves outside the LCC, on Great Newport Street. We gingerly descended a narrow staircase to the basement bar, and entered a subterranean expanse with emerald green walls, battered chesterfields, Persian rugs and lashings of retro bric-a-brac. JJ Goodman, the club's dapper owner, welcomed us with a handshake, an Asahi, and a cocktail menu. That's the kind of greeting that should feature in etiquette books.
JJ, fresh from a turn on Raymond Blanc's TV show, The Restaurant, is a bit obsessed with cocktails. His particular predilection: matching the flavours of his liquid and culinary creations. Guests milled around sipping sage and cranberry martinis (boasting baubles fresh from the freezer – ice cubes are so last season) and nibbling turkey sandwiches and mini sausages with cranberry dipping sauce.
A pan bubbled on a little heater on the bar, scenting the room with a heady cloud of potent fumes, and the assembled media types made their own DIY-style mulled wine, topping up the brew with orange peel, cloves, red wine, apple and bitters. Throwing caution (and the risk of salmonella) to the wind, Smith opted for a Molecular Snow Ball – advocaat with whole egg, fresh vanilla and ice, topped with a festive chocolate coin (gold foil and all) scattered with 'molecular lime cordial caviar'.
Peering around to see if Heston Blumenthal was in the room lapping up the science-speak (and the drinkables), we had a sip. It was good. So good in fact, that the gal next to us swiped our glass. A dashing PR whisked a new one seemingly from thin air, and bonhomie was restored. Things got even better when a family-size box of Quality Street was deposited on our table, and we alternated between gobbling cheese-and-pineapple chunks on cocktail sticks and the purple-wrapped caramel and nut numbers. (So much better when grandparents aren't around to nab the best ones.)
Our learnings from the night? Along with dim sum and the Prince Charles cinema, Leicester Square has a third lure – the LCC. And should you overdo things on the alcoholic front and need to make a speedy retreat, bed down in one of two boutique boltholes nearby, the Haymarket Hotel, or the Covent Garden Hotel.

Hello ladies:
I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon in the toronto area tomorrow for a brazilian butt lift. Has anyone had one done in the toronto area or planning on doing one? please let me know as I would love to hear from you. I am really nervous about getting this done but I have hated by butt all my life. I have worked out for years but not been able to achieve the shape I want. I contribute this mostly to my genetics. I am single mid thirties with no childern so I figured why not. I dont see myself having any childern in the near future so I am ready to do this for me! Again, love to hear any kind of feedback
Hello ladies: I have a consultation with a...

Thinking of round two with salama
Oops I mean thanks so much not solo much lol
Travel Buddy Needed!! Salama MAY 23RD 2014
Thanks ladies!!!
All the best to you beautiful ladies
Second guessing my round2 bbl..need advice
Now I feel like I may die never having kids, and then theres this part of me saying WTF are you doing a round 2 for when maybe you should be focusing on finding someone to have childern with. Now ladies please dont get me wrong I love kids and would love to be a mom but I just have never found that person to do it with. My previous relationship of two and half years just ended when I saw him a the hospital with a pregnant woman. When I asked who she was he said it was his soon to be wife. Because I work there I couldnt exactly go off on him cuz I didnt want ppl i work with to see me in that position. Anyhow after going physco on his ass... i find out she was 8 months prego and hes been cheating on her AND me i guess...living that good ol double life.. where the signs there .. in hindsight yea they were but at the time i was in the infamous "denial"...just adds to the string of fucked up relationships ive been in ... life must go on is my moto..I chose not to have kids with this man in the first few years we were together cuz I was working on a post graduate degree and wanted to get that finished. as well he told me he wasnt ready for kids..so what if i was pregnant .. would he have been faithful to me?? or would we be pregnant at the same time?? who knows .. am I inna better situation now cuz I know his true colors or do all men fuck up at some point or another .. i dunno.. sometimes its like i know he fucked up right.. .but did I too?? should I have just not used birth control pills and let whatever happen happen??
I really need some advice ladies..
I wanna do my round 2 because I feel like ive came this far let me get what I want... and then im like what if i do this I mean if i still wanna have a baby I dont have much time left...and if i do get pregnant like a year after my round 2 will i totally loose all my results...I think alot of it has to do with the fact that I dont look my age.. i still like going out to the clubs i like feeling and looking young .. but the truth is im not lol
I would really like it if you ladies would please gimme some input cuz honeslty .. altho my round 2 with dr. salama is not till may i really need to make my decision here.... do i go thru with this or abandon ship and focus on getting back on the dating scene and looking for that someone who wants to settled down and have kids soon .. or am I still damaged from what just happened and just focus on me and feeling and looking better (which ofcourse includes a bbl lol) I may or may not find someone but I do know that I WILL have sx if thats what i really want...sorry ladies to babble on .. just an emotional basket case right now.. just wanna hear your input
thanks dollz
Still seeking a travel buddy Dr. Salama for May 23rd or around that date!!!
so glad Cynthia told me about the recovery house
Really damn nervous but
I really need help from some bbl veterans tho. So its like really hard to get all these vadetted and sqeems and waist cinchers in Canada. I did order some from a us site during after my first bbl.. but can u ladies please tell me what the difference is between all these things ?? And when exactly do I use all these things?? What do u ladies recommend I order to take with me. any help would be really appreciated ladies. Thanks sooooo much :)
wish pics
more pics
lipo burns
I am armed with this new found knowledge... I have seen patients burnt from all popular surgeon's on this site AND I personally have calculated that doctor Salama has almost double the reviews of any other doctor out there and he STILL doesn't have as many burnt patients as he should according to a mathematical probable break down. Having said that. .IF I do go thru with round 2 then Salama it is...I have looked at so many b4 and after pics on other ps websites and none them compare to this mans work. So seeing as there is a chance of getting burnt from any of theses docs...id rather chance it from the one who I know consistently delivers!! Thank u ladies for all ur thoughts!! Happy New year's! !!
Round 2 BBL
If you have been reading my profile at all its plain to see that I am totally confused about doin round 2. One moment I wanna do it and the next minute I feel like im crazy!!! I just wanna hear from ladies who are goin for or done a round2 bbl. I am scheduled for May 9 2014 and altho it seems far away. .. its been like 7 months since my first round so I guess I am trying to say that time flys!! Does anyone have any advice for me :( or feeling the same way? Would love to hear from you!
Wanna get pregnant :((
Baby or BBL
Baby or bbl.....

Getting closer to round two!!!
Well jus checking in im only 78 days away from my round two which is pretty good considering I have been waiting since last June to do this again!!! Its been a crazy decision making process but I must say there hasn't been a day that has gone by with out thinking about it!!! Im pretty excited and cant wait for it!! Back in june 2013 a part of me thought that by this time my life would have totally change and a round 2 would be the furthest thing from my mind but boyyyy was I wrong I still want it soooo bad I can taste it (not literally cuz that's kinda gross Lol) anyhow ladies cant thank u enough for all ur love and support and for sharing all of your experiences with the real self community. Now lastly...I jus have a question. ..how did u ladies that didnt stay at the recovery house travel back and forth to the office after sx? Im thinking that a taxi is the answer but jus putting the question out there... my conod is in sunny isles which say is like 4 miles away from the office...thanks ladies

hellllllo ladies
I am pleased to say that I am almost two weeks post op. I had a BBL done with Dr. Salama. I was always sure that he was the doctor for me however when I got to the office and met him I was even more confident. He is an amazing doctor that delivers amazing results and I wouldn't recommend another doctor for this procedure. I also would like to thank the staff at Elite plastic surgery for their outstanding care! I absolutely love my results and cannot believe what Dr. Salama has done to my body

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op from a tummy tuck. My incision line over all is very low but comes up on the sides of my hips dramatically. The tip is actually a little higher than my (new) belly button. The PS tells me this is just because of swelling and that it will go down and be concealed under a bathing suit. It seems far fetched to me. Is it possible the swelling is causing this? Thanks!!
Update: Scar Too High on Hips After Tummy Tuck

Assisted-living facilities offer seniors and their families on-site medical facilities or personnel and professional expertise in caring for senior citizens. That guarantee, however, does not necessarily mean residents will feel happy, engaged and fulfilled. To care for the emotional, intellectual and personal well being of residents, regular activities provide the physical and mental stimuli seniors need.
Long periods of inactivity can lead to discomfort, atrophied muscles and further mobility loss, especially for seniors with reduced mobility. Depending on the mobility levels of residents, assisted-living facilities may offer activities such as low-impact aerobics, balance and flexibility exercises including yoga, and strength training with light weights. For seniors with more mobility, activities such as dance lessons and group walks through the facility or around town provide both exercise and social opportunities. For residents with very reduced mobility, even just tossing a ball around with a group or playing games on interactive game consoles can provide some much-needed physical stimulation.
While senior citizens may have earned a relaxing retirement free from daily concerns such as grocery shopping and paying bills, their minds need stimulation to stay sharp. In assisted-living communities, activities such as putting together jigsaw puzzles; participating in checkers and chess tournaments; playing card games; and doing simple analytical games such as sudoku and crossword puzzles contribute to healthy and regular brain functioning. For less-structured activities, assisted-living facilities also organize events including memory circles, where residents take turns telling stories from their lives; discussion groups on current events; and journal and creative writing sessions for interested residents.
Even the most luxurious assisted-living facility may start to feel claustrophobic if the resident doesn't head outside from time to time. To encourage social interaction among residents and keep seniors involved with their communities, many assisted-living facilities organize regular field trips. Destinations might include local sports events, parks, theaters, restaurants, museums or places of worship. Structured volunteer activities might be in schools, parks or community centers. Seniors have a lot to offer society, and volunteer activities such as reading stories in hospital nurseries or helping out in a local garden may make for engaging outings.
Drawing from long lives full of memorable experiences, senior citizens can live active cultural and creative lives in an assisted-living facility. Through activities such as taking pottery classes, painting, attending musical events, photography, writing in poetry groups and staging theater presentations, residents can learn a new craft and continue to use artistic creation as an important form of self-expression. When incorporating younger volunteers or instructors, these events may generate mutually beneficial and socially rewarding intergenerational exchanges. Senior citizens may benefit from being around the energy of youth, and younger participants might learn from the experiences of age.

More and more developers are enjoying the convenience of hosting their applications on OpenShift Online–Red Hat's PaaS Platform as a Service.
OpenShift Online applications support MySQL 5.1, PostgreSQL 8.4, MongoDB 2.2 and SQLite.
Although OpenShift is simple to use, there are lots of other awesome functions and features OpenShift provides that you may not be aware of.
That's what I'm going to talk about here. We will find the answers to questions like:
- I'm a new developer, can I manage my database on OpenShift without knowing SQL?
- I just wanna remove one single record from my database, can I manage it without complicated commands or an pre-installed client tool?
- Is it easy to migrate my existing database to OpenShift?
- Can I backup my database on OpenShift like for a local one?
- Is there any way to use my database on cloud locally maybe for development or debugging purpose?
- I have some favorite GUI database client tools, can I use them to manage the database on OpenShift?
Please feel free to ask any other questions you might have. We are here for you :). You can reach us in comments here in the post, in the forums, or on IRC on Freenode in #openshift.
Before we start
We need a few things prepared for the journey:
Get a free OpenShift account
You will be able to create 3 gears(will explain gears later) on OpenShift for free after signed up.
Install the OpenShift Client Tools
OpenShift supplies several different types of client tools for developers.
The OpenShift Web Console is very good for most of the operations. But I still want to recommend the RHC command line tool.
Because CLI is way more cooler and because it is the most complete in terms of all the functionality provided.
Let's start from 0
Set up your OpenShift account
At this point we're assuming you have an account on OpenShift.
If you haven't created any app with your account before, then you may need to choose a namespace and upload your public ssh key first.
It's easier with CLI, you can finished all these setup works simply by one RHC command:
rhc setup
Told ya it was easy!
Create an application
OK, now for the real work!
First, let's get familiar with the concepts of applications, cartridges and gears:
Cartridges are the containers that house the framework or components that can be used to create an application. One or more cartridges run on each gear or the same cartridge can run on many gears for clustering or scaling. We currently have cartridges that are enabled for PHP, JBoss, Python, Ruby, Perl & Node.JS. We also offer embedded cartridges in support of MySQL, MongoDB, phpmyadmin.
Applications are made up of at least one framework that is contained in a cartridge and runs on one or more gears. Additional cartridges can be added to the application on the same or different gears.
You can find the full list of them via OpenShift Web Console(https://openshift.redhat.com/app/console/application_types) or RHC command:
$ rhc cartridge list jbossas-7 JBoss Application Server 7.1 web jbosseap-6.0 JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.0 web jenkins-1.4 Jenkins Server 1.4 web nodejs-0.6 Node.js 0.6 web perl-5.10 Perl 5.10 web php-5.3 PHP 5.3 web python-2.6 Python 2.6 web python-2.7 Python 2.7 Community Cartridge web python-3.3 Python 3.3 Community Cartridge web ruby-1.8 Ruby 1.8 web ruby-1.9 Ruby 1.9 web jbossews-1.0 Tomcat 6 (JBoss EWS 1.0) web jbossews-2.0 Tomcat 7 (JBoss EWS 2.0) web zend-5.6 Zend Server 5.6 web diy-0.1 Do-It-Yourself web 10gen-mms-agent-0.1 10gen Mongo Monitoring Service Agent 0.1 addon cron-1.4 Cron 1.4 addon jenkins-client-1.4 Jenkins Client 1.4 addon mongodb-2.2 MongoDB NoSQL Database 2.2 addon mysql-5.1 MySQL Database 5.1 addon metrics-0.1 OpenShift Metrics 0.1 addon haproxy-1.4 OpenShift Web Balancer addon phpmyadmin-3.4 phpMyAdmin 3.4 addon postgresql-8.4 PostgreSQL Database 8.4 addon rockmongo-1.1 RockMongo 1.1 addon switchyard-0.6 SwitchYard 0.6 addon Note: Web cartridges can only be added to new applications.
You'll find that OpenShift supports many languages (Java, Python, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Node.js and boundless DIY). A full blown listing of what you can do with OpenShift is on our technologies page.
Now, let's create a PHP application named myapp. Feel free to pick your favorite programming language and app name.
$ rhc app create myapp php-5.3 Application Options ------------------- Namespace: linqing Cartridges: php-5.3 Gear Size: default Scaling: no Creating application 'myapp' ... done Waiting for your DNS name to be available ... done Downloading the application Git repository ... Cloning into 'myapp'... Warning: Permanently added 'myapp-linqing.rhcloud.com,188.8.131.52' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Your application code is now in 'myapp' myapp @ http://myapp-linqing.rhcloud.com/ (uuid: 511d5125e0b8cdf98d00xxxx) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created: 9:03 PM Gears: 1 (defaults to small) Git URL: ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com/~/git/myapp.git/ SSH: email@example.com php-5.3 (PHP 5.3) ----------------- Gears: 1 small RESULT: Application myapp was created.
Good! Our application is ready now. Let's move to the database part.
Embed databases into your app
To embed a database cartridge (take mysql as an example), run:
$ rhc cartridge add mysql-5.1 -a myapp Adding 'mysql-5.1' to application 'myapp' Success mysql-5.1 ========= Properties ========== Username = admin Password = smWh27V9eYaq Database Name = myapp Connection URL = mysql://127.3.110.129:3306/
Now you got mysql database embedded into your app. And it's running already.
Wait, you can even embed multiple databases into the same app!
$ rhc cartridge add mongodb-2.2 -a myapp Adding 'mongodb-2.2' to application 'myapp' Success mongodb-2.2 =========== Properties ========== Username = admin Password = wQM4SrQxrNxe Database Name = myapp Connection URL = mongodb://127.3.110.129:27017/ $ rhc cartridge add postgresql -a myapp Adding 'postgresql-8.4' to application 'myapp' Success postgresql-8.4 ============== Properties ========== Username = admin Password = HECLd-AbhlWb Database Name = myapp Connection URL = postgresql://127.3.110.129:5432/
That's so cool!!! One command gets you a fully configured and ready to use database, no tricks!
Now you have the database connection parameters for your app. Use them in your codes and get your app running!
Database connection parameters
I think this is the most significant part for developers:
Your database connection parameters are stored on your Application's gear as environment variables. You can find out what they are by entering the following command after connecting to your gear with ssh:
env | grep OPENSHIFT
You will notice the following entries for the databases we embedded:
#for MySQL OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT=3306 OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST=127.3.110.129 OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD=smWh27V9eYaq OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_USERNAME=admin OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_URL=mysql://admin:email@example.com:3306/ # for PostgreSQL OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_PASSWORD=HECLd-AbhlWb OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_HOST=127.3.110.129 OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_USERNAME=admin OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_URL=postgresql://admin:email@example.com:5432/ OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_PORT=5432 #for MongoDB OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_USERNAME=admin OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PASSWORD=wQM4SrQxrNxe OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_HOST=127.3.110.129 OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_URL=mongodb://admin:firstname.lastname@example.com:27017/ OPENSHIFT_MONGODB_DB_PORT=27017
Environment variables are the best way to configure your application's connection to a database. This is because we may migrate or update your Application/DB from time to time, resulting in potential IP address changes.
Manage your databases
Embedded databases are not bound to the external IP address of your Application's gear. Hence, only your application on that gear can access the database.
If you want to manage your databases manually OpenShift also provides tools to do that.
Embeded Open Source Tools
OpenShift offers some great open source tools for developers to manage their databases on the cloud easily.
phpMyAdmin is a free and open source tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL using a Web browser. Features provided include:
- Web interface
- MySQL database management
- Import data from CSV and SQL
- Export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF (via the TCPDF library), ISO/IEC 26300 – OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LaTeX and others
- Administering multiple servers
- Creating PDF graphics of the database layout
- Creating complex queries using Query-by-example (QBE)
- Searching globally in a database or a subset of it
- Transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions, like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link
- Active query monitor (Processes)
Embed the phpMyAdmin cartridge to your app:
$ rhc cartridge add phpmyadmin-3.4 -a myapp Adding 'phpmyadmin-3.4' to application 'myapp' Success phpmyadmin-3.4 ============== Properties ========== Username = admin Password = smWh27V9eYaq Connection URL = https://myapp-linqing.rhcloud.com/phpmyadmin/
RockMongo is a MongoDB management tool, written in PHP 5. It's main features include:
- easy to install, and open source
- multiple hosts, and multiple administrators for one host
- password protection
- query dbs
- advanced collection query tool
- read, insert, update, duplicate and remove single row
- query, create and drop indexes
- clear collection
- remove and change (only work in higher php_mongo version) criteria matched rows
- view collection statistics
Embed RockMongo to your app by running:
$ rhc cartridge add rockmongo-1.1 -a myapp Adding 'rockmongo-1.1' to application 'myapp' Success rockmongo-1.1 ============= Properties ========== Username = admin Password = wQM4SrQxrNxe Connection URL = https://myapp-linqing.rhcloud.com/rockmongo/
Please note that both phpMyAdmin and RockMongo are publicly accessible from Internet.
It's quite convenient, but please keep your database credentials safe.
You can embed database or any other cartridges during the creation of your app. For example:
$ rhc app create myapp php-5.3 mysql-5.1 phpmyadmin-3.4
Long story short
Well, OpenShift has a lot more advantages on manipulating databases. But I think I've made my point, and this blog is long enough :)

Motherhood Matters: Tried-and-true road trip tips for families
MrsH Altamont, UTJuly 16, 2014 12:14 p.m.
I have been reading your blog, it's great! I feel like I am on the trip with you...
Johnny Triumph American Fork, UTJuly 16, 2014 10:50 a.m.
When I was young we had frequent Utah - NYC road trips. Each child was given a roll of quarters, ours to keep. Each time we warranted a scolding we lost a quarter. We quickly learned that we wanted to keep our quarters, we behaved ourselves. And that was no small feat with all boys in the car...

New Baker, Help With Non-Slip Surface For Cookies.
Baking By GreenTurtle Updated 17 Dec 2013 , 2:27am by GreenTurtle
Hello! This is my first post and I am a new baker. I will be baking decorated cookies with my nieces this week (I have them all week) and I was wondering if there is a surface mat like a silpat that will keep cookies in place/non-slip and keep them still while we decorate. I tried the silpat yesterday and they're still moving around a little. For some reason I thought the rubber on silpat might keep them still, but silpats are of course primarily a non-stick surface, so not sure what I was thinking (I'm new :)) Would like to keep the cookies still so they don't move when we take our decorating bags and spatulas to them. I can keep them on the pan that they baked in, but we are planning to bake all the shapes first, then the next day, just decorate them all (remember, I have them for one week and I'm trying to make the fun last all week ;) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
hi and welcome--
y'know the nubbly shelf liner we like to put down to put our glasses on in the cupboard?
that works well and you can wash it off after--
i usually use this under a cake that's sitting on a cake board but if it's clean it won't hurt the cookies and they will not slip--
like this http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/shelf-liners/page/1?sort_by=5
but you can get a roll for a few bucks--even grocery stores carry it of course
Thank you so much K8, I have lurked for so long here and enjoy your posts tremendously. I will get a roll of these today and try them. Can't wait!
oh thank you gt ♥

I often use a regular sized silicone hot pad (trivet).
but most grocery stores do sell that non-slip shelf liner fairly inexpensively that K8 talks about. It probably does work a lot better than my hot pad.
Thank you for your comment MB, I have enjoyed your posts as well xo
I will look into a silicone trivet for myself. Love learning about tools. I will try the shelf liners and post again :)
Thank you all sincerely!

Graham Bradley
Controversial, but extremely popular with the racing public.
Graham Bradley has had what can only be described as a colourful career in the world of racing.
He retired in 1999, with a string of major race wins under his belt, and became a bloodstock agent, buying horses for people such as footballers Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman.
But his 12 year career as a jockey was littered with accusations and run-ins with the authorities.
Best friend
He was given a two month suspension in 1982 for placing a bet whilst in the ring.
But most notably Bradley was arrested and charged in 1999 as part of a long-running investigation into alleged race fixing. The charges were later dropped.
Bradley has also admitted in a court case to passing on 'sensitive racing information' to Cocaine smuggler Brian Wright, a man he first met as a jockey in 1984. Surprisingly, Bradley was never disciplined by the Jockey Club for this revelation.
In fact, he still claims to number the wanted criminal as among his best friends.
Wayward lad
Born in 1960 in Wetherby, Yorkshire, Bradley rode his first winner in a novices' hurdle at Sedgefield at the age of 20.
Working for the Michael Dickenson stable, Bradley quickly became a successful rider - winning the 1982 Hennessy Gold Cup and the 1983 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
He also rode winners in the Welsh National and memorably won the King George VI Chase in 1985 on 'Wayward Lad'. The name of the horse was later used as the title for his autobiography.
Bradley's career faltered in the late 1980s but he was given a new lease of life in 1991, when trainer Charlie Brooks appointed him as stable jockey.
One of his biggest successes came under Brooks, when he won the 1996 Champion Hurdle on Collier Bay.
Another notable win in Bradley's career came in 1997 when he rode Suny Bay to victory in Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup.

Statement From Senate Majority Conference Leader John L. Sampson
The Senate Majority concurs with Governor Paterson's assessment on the state of our economy and budget. Though the Governor acknowledges our fiscal difficulties, some components of his proposal clearly need modification.
We are reviewing the Governor's proposed tax increases and program cuts. Senate Democrats believe structural reforms to state operations can reduce the size and scope of government more than basic across-the-board cuts. We remain committed to getting spending under control, creating jobs, and providing tax relief to overstretched homeowners, retirees, and entrepreneurs.
We will work with the Governor, the Assembly, and our partners in the Senate to produce a bipartisan budget that puts taxpayers and constituents first, and moves New York in the right direction.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Sergio Aguero scored twice and got the lone yellow card for Argentina, which frustrated a partisan crowd in a 2-0 exhibition victory over Bosnia on Monday night.
Sergio Romero got the shutout and wasn't pressed much in a match between the two-time World Cup champions - which had plenty of offense without injured superstar Lionel Messi - and a country that's a first-time World Cup qualifier for next year.
St. Louis has a large contingent of people from Bosnia and the Argentinians were booed from the moment they stepped onto the field for warmups.
This was the third exhibition of the year in St. Louis and second at Busch, including a stadium record of more than 48,000 for Manchester City vs. Chelsea in May.

Jerry Rowe just couldn't stay retired.
For years he owned his own businesses: scuba shops and lawn spraying in Michigan. He was a workaholic, constantly on the job. Then he tried to retire to Clearwater in 1997.
It didn't stick.
"I was going crazy with nothing to do," Rowe, 70, said. "I mean, what was I supposed to do tomorrow? I needed to work. I didn't want to be retired."
So Rowe had an idea. He bought some property in Hudson. On it was a rundown driving range off New York Avenue. He fixed the place up, added a restaurant just feet from the tee boxes, came up with a menu and put beer on ice at the bar.
Florida Golf Range and the 20th Hole Bar and Grill were born.
"I wanted to make my hobby pay for itself," said Rowe, who admits he's not an avid, or even, a good golfer, playing just too infrequently. "I like to drink beer. That's my hobby," Rowe added with a laugh. "The 20th Hole comes from that everyone says the 19th hole. The 20th hole, you can still get practice in, but get the food and beer, too."
Originally, Rowe wanted to have a golf school on the property. Though that didn't pan out, Rowe still has a golf pro on hand, Hal Yost, who gives lessons and has a pro shop inside the restaurant. Some of the other amenities include a covered and lighted driving range with synthetic and real grass, a putting green and a practice sand trap. There's also karaoke each week, an outdoor tiki bar and even some oversized food, including the Monster Burger, a meal larger than most customers' heads.
"The food and people here are excellent," Hudson resident and regular Gordon Cole said. "But what not everyone sees is how Jerry works his (butt) off here. If you come out here to hit the ball regularly, you're going to see Jerry and he's going to know you."
Rowe says he has a lot of regulars, enough to compare this place to Cheers. He knows most people's names, even how many times they play golf. So that's why Ric Blaydes jokingly calls himself the Norm — the infamous-always-drinking character from the TV show — of the 20th Hole. He's there most days, drinking or hitting from the range.
"The first time I came here, there were three old guys hitting ball and everyone was having a good time," Blaydes said. "It was pretty easy to see I was coming back. It's a great place to work on your game. I like the atmosphere of how everyone is laid-back. That's what golf is all about."
Rowe also enjoys throwing a good party. For nearly every holiday, the 20th Hole holds a big celebration. Rowe even goes a bit overboard for Christmas, hanging up more than 10,000 lights. Customers love that though. It stands out in their mind, then they just rave about being able to be themselves.
"This place is laid-back," Cole said. "You can be out here in flip-flops and shorts and swing at balls. This isn't your high-class golf. This is for hitting balls and having drinks. You can stop, have some wings and beer and there's no pressure to be the best golfer."
Many customers — mostly golfers — wind up at the 20th Hole after a round. They'll sit there and grab brews. They spout and brag about their golf stories on the porch. It becomes a roundtable discussion, some tall tales, some true.
Either way, they love the atmosphere.
"I like to have kids around here, too, because this should be a family place," Rowe said. "I've been all over the place scuba diving, and this place reminds me of the places I used to love to go to. Call it a Key West feel or whatnot, but they're like grill and bar places by the water.
"It's the laid-back atmosphere I've been around all my life."

New York City Opera Announces Their Spring Season Schedule
On Tuesday, March 22, New York City Opera's spring season opening features Donizetti's The Elixir of Love in a revival of Jonathan Miller's production. This is followed by a triple bill of Monodramas, one-act operas, opening on Friday, March 25, which includes the world stage premiere of John Zorn's La Machine de l'être , Arnold Schoenberg's Erwartung ("Expectation"), and the U.S. stage premiere of Morton Feldman's Neither. Monodramas is a program that epitomizes City Opera's mission through both its innovative format and progressive repertoire. New York City Opera's final production of the 2010-2011 season is the New York premiere of Stephen Schwartz's first opera, the psychological thriller Séance on a Wet Afternoon.
City Opera's new concert series continues with John Zorn's Masada Marathon, featuring the experimental music master with avant-garde innovators including Marc Ribot, Dave Douglas, Uri Caine, and Zorn himself. This concert will be followed by Defying Gravity: The Music of Stephen Schwartz, a program of the composer's songs from his acclaimed Broadway shows and film scores. Scheduled to appear in Defying Gravity are two major stars of screen and stage, Kristin Chenoweth, Raúl Esparza, Victor Garber and Ann Hampton Callaway.
In addition, City Opera will present a special family oriented concert version of Oliver Knussen's Where the Wild Things Are. The opera is based on the beloved children's book by Maurice Sendak, and set to a libretto by Sendak himself.
All performance dates are listed in a new "Season-At-A-Glance" section, located at the bottom of this release.
About the Productions
Vibrant young singers shine in this witty production of Donizetti's immortal bel canto classic, The Elixir of Love. A poor, lovelorn young man in love with a beautiful, Rich Woman drinks a magic potion provided by a traveling quack salesman in hopes of winning her over. Jonathan Miller's stylish production inventively relocates the story to the fifties of the American Southwest, complete with soda jerks, a vintage Ford convertible and a dusty roadside diner. Donizetti's greatest melodies - including "Una furtiva lagrima" - sparkle fresher than ever in this updated setting.
Soprano Stefania Dovhan, who made her City Opera debut in last season's Don Giovanni, returns to portray the clever Adina while fast-rising tenor David Lomeli makes his New York operatic debut as the shy Nemorino.
The full cast includes David Lomeli (Nemorino)*, José Adán Pérez (Belcore)*, Stefania Dovhan (Adina), Marco Nisticò (Dulcamara), and Meredith Lustig (Giannetta)*, with Brad Cohen (conductor)*, and a production team including Jonathan Miller (production), A. Scott Parry (stage director), Isabella Bywater (set and costume designer), Jeff Harris (lighting designer), A. Scott Parry (supertitles).
The production premiered in 2003 at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm and was last presented at City Opera in 2006. The Elixir of Love will be performed in Italian with English supertitles.
La Machine de l'être, Erwartung and Neither
Downtown theater visionary Michael Counts joins together three one-woman operas by master composers John Zorn, Arnold Schoenberg and Morton Feldman into a compelling "total artwork." Each opera presents spectacular challenges of virtuosity-for singer, for orchestra, and for the theatrical imagination of the director. Counts distills the essence of music, poetry, dance, and design into a visually compelling, theatrical projection of three psychic landscapes inspired by Antonin Artaud, Sigmund Freud, and Samuel Beckett.
In John Zorn's La Machine de l'être, the soprano's conjures the magic and alchemy of theater visionary Antonin Artaud's drawings. In Schoenberg's Erwartung ("Expectation"), written by the cousin of Freud's legendary patient Anna O., the terrified protagonist gropes through a dark forest searching for her love, only to find that the darkness dwells within her. In Neither, Morton Feldman's ethereal music brilliantly evokes the hovering, troubled stillness of the only libretto Samuel Beckett ever wrote.
Soprano Anu Komsi makes her City Opera debut in La Machine de l'être, soprano Kara Shay Thomson debuts as She in Erwartung, and soprano Cyndia Sieden sings in Neither. City Opera Music Director George Manahan conducts all three works, with choreography by Ken Roht*, set designs by Michael Counts, costume designs by Jessica Jahn*, and lighting design by Robert Wierzel.
Erwartung will be performed in German, and Neither will be performed in English, both with English supertitles.
Séance on a Wet Afternoon is the first opera by composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz, whose previous credits run from Godspell to Wicked. Based on the novel by Mark McShane and the film adaptation of 1964, this psychological thriller focuses on Myra, an ambitious psychic who devises an elaborate kidnapping scheme so that her "vision" can ensure a successful recovery, a generous ransom, and the fame she so desperately craves. The plan goes awry as her fragile sanity crumbles.
Schwartz's extensive experience in musical theater makes the most of this gripping story, with a compelling and tuneful musical score, keen dramatic pacing and vivid characterizations. Séance is made for fully operatic voices: dramatic soprano, Verdi baritone, lyric tenor and more. And in the hands of City Opera favorite Lauren Flanigan, for whom the opera was written, the character of Myra promises powerful singing and theatrical fireworks.
The full cast includes Lauren Flanigan (Myra Foster), Kim Josephson (Bill Foster)*, Todd Wilander (Charles Clayton)*, Melody Moore (Rita Clayton)*, Phillip Boykin (Inspector Watts)*, Jane Shaulis (Mrs. Wintry), Pamela Jones (Miss Rose), Bill Lagundino (Mrs. Bennett), Boyd Schlaefer (Mr. Cole), Juan José Ibarra (Policeman), Michael Marcotte (Irish Tenor)*, Michael Kepler Meo (Arthur)*, Bailey Grey (Adriana Clayton)*, with George Manahan (conductor), Steven Osgood (conductor 4/26, 4/28, 4/30), and a production team including Scott Schwartz (production director)*, Heidi Ettinger (set designer)*, Alejo Vietti (costume designer)*, David Lander (lighting designer)*, Matt Williams (musical staging)*, Isabel Martin (supertitles). Séance on a Wet Afternoon will be performed in English with supertitles.
About the Concerts
Twelve bands in one night, performed for the first time in the U.S.
Written in a flash of creativity during three months at the end of 2004, the 316 compositions in John Zorn's Book of Angels contain some of his most lyrical and inspiring music. Performed by a wide variety of ensembles over the past seven years, the music has generated 17 CDs to date, with three more scheduled for release in 2011-2012. This special Marathon concert brings together 12 different groups of wildly divergent backgrounds (jazz, rock, classical, world music, jam band, a cappella singing and more) in one spectacular evening of music.
The concert will include two 90-minute sets with one intermission.
The concert features Marc Ribot, Uri Caine, Dave Douglas, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Secret Chiefs 3, Greg Cohen, Joey Baron, Cyro Baptista, Kenny Wollesen, Jamie Saft, Erik Friedlander, Mark Feldman, Sylvie Courvoisier, Trevor Dunn and more.
Family Opera in Concert:
Bring the whole family to a special matinee concert and benefit, featuring a concert version of the fantastical opera based on the children's book by Maurice Sendak. Composed by Oliver Knussen to a libretto by Sendak himself, this enchanting work (last performed at City Opera in 1987) tells the story of Max, a little boy with a wild imagination. City Opera is proud to affirm its mission of nurturing young American singers by presenting the Vocal Fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center, led by conductor Julian Kuerti in his company debut.
The cast includes Danya Katok (Max)*, Leslie Davis (Mama/Tzippy)*, Andrew Sauvageau (Wild Thing with Horns)*, David Salsbery Fry (Bull Wild Thing), Adam Cannedy (Rooster Wild Thing)*, Lawrence Jones (Wild Thing with Beard/Goat Wild Thing)*, with Julian Kuerti (conductor)*, Seán Curran (director), and Sonya Knussen (supertitles).
Where the Wild Things Are will be performed in English with English supertitles.
DEFYING GRAVITY: THE MUSIC OF Stephen Schwartz
A salute to the composer of Séance on a Wet Afternoon with this program of songs from his acclaimed Broadway and film works, including Wicked, Godspell, Pippin and Enchanted. Kristin Chenoweth, Raúl Esparza, Ann Hampton Calloway and Victor Garber are scheduled to appear. This concert will be followed by City Opera's Spring Gala.

|Miami Beach, Florida
I will try to keep this brief, but each time I start to think about this "success story" it seems to get out of control…
My sister-in-law is a realtor in the Fort Myers area and had shown us several properties there that we just couldn't resist. We ended up purchasing one in early 2011 as a rental. During our several trips down there to furnish & set up the home for renters (and ourselves of course). we were able to accrue quite a few miles and points and easily meet the minimum spends on several cards with sign-up bonuses. AND this is all able to be written off on our taxes since the rental home is a business.
This past summer my wife suggested a family trip to somewhere tropical for Christmas. Being frugal. it sounded like it was out of my price range until I started to look at using Rick's methods to parlay small amounts into large travel. This wouldn't be too bad for most, but I was looking at booking a family of 8!
Using our rental home as a base for our trip, we were able to do the following:
- Fly Delta from near home for 320,000 miles
- Stay at the rental property for free for 5 days
- Stay at Marriott properties in Key West for 2 days, and Miami for 1 day using points
- Stay at Westin property in Tampa Bay for 1 day using SPG points
All I had to use money to pay for was the big juicy rental van, admission to tourist venues, and food.
AND it was a Christmas present that our family will never forget!
Thanks for providing information on your blog that we can all use to see the world at a price we can afford!

Berlin, Germany, 2013/08/22 - German consortium wins pan-European tender - BDR.de.
A consortium led by Bundesdruckerei GmbH has won a pan-European tender by the Procurement Office of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior for automated border control systems at German airports. By the end of 2014, the consortium partners, Bundesdruckerei and secunet Security Networks AG, will initially equip Germany's busiest airports, i.e. Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Düsseldorf and Hamburg, with 90 so-called eGates. This contract includes design, delivery, commissioning, maintenance and support and is scheduled to begin before the end of the year. In later years, other German airports are to be fitted with eGates, for instance, the new capital city airport BER.
Bundesdruckerei is the technology leader in complex security solutions and border control management. "The expertise offered by Bundesdruckerei and secunet was the key factor for winning the pan-European tender. Together, we will install the world's most innovative eGate system in Germany and will also set international standards in doing so," says Ulrich Hamann, CEO of Bundesdruckerei GmbH. Dr. Rainer Baumgart, CEO of secunet AG, adds: "Bundesdruckerei and secunet have excellent know-how and high-quality solutions for security technology. Together, we are not only helping the Federal Police to accelerate border control processes, we are also helping to create greater security at the outer borders of the Schengen Area."
In future, shorter waiting times for passengers
The new eGate solution will significantly boost the efficiency of border controls while maintaining the same high level of security. For passengers who use an eGate, the control procedure will be reduced to less than 18 seconds. During this time, the passenger's identity and the authenticity and validity of his / her electronic travel document will be automatically checked. In the new gate systems, reading devices from Bundesdruckerei (bdr.de) will check the authenticity of travel documents in a matter of seconds. In place of the border control officer, a smart camera system will compare the passenger's face with the passport photo. The secunet biomiddle software is the central interface in the eGate, connecting the aforementioned system components with the border control officer's user interface and the security infrastructure. The eGates now ordered are the persistent further development of automated border control systems already in use at the airports in Frankfurt (EasyPASS) and Prague (EasyGO). The new eGates and all of their components excel thanks to their intuitive operation. For all users, be it passengers, airports or the Federal Police, these state-of-the-art automated gate systems offer many advantages in terms of security and efficiency.
The new eGates will be supplemented by solutions and products from Bundesdruckerei: an innovative background management system with which all eGates at the airport can be centrally controlled and configured in an efficient manner. Other components include monitoring systems for PC workplaces at the terminals and state-of-the-art document readers. secunet's Terminal Control Center ensures the security needed for checking the electronic chip data in travel documents. It performs all cryptographic and key management for the connected gates. The entire certificate exchange and authorisation process hence runs fully automatically in the background of the visible border control process.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- PVH (PVH) shares soared 9.2% to $127.86 on Thursday as investors renewed their confidence in the apparel company's ability to navigate the challenging retail environment.
PVH, the owner of the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands, among others, reported fiscal second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.51 a share, above the company's previous guidance of $1.40 to $1.45 a share and compared with $1.39 a share in the year-earlier quarter. The New York-based company reported GAAP earnings of $1.52 a share for the quarter ended Aug. 3.
PVH's revenue rose 4% from last year to $1.98 billion. Revenue excludes the Bass business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of 2013. The revenue gains in the quarter were fueled by a 9% increase in the company's Tommy Hilfiger business. Sales from Calvin Klein inched 1% higher in the quarter, while the Heritage Brands business was flat compared with the prior year.
The company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted earnings guidance of $7.30 to $7.40 a share. Several sell-side analysts upped their price targets on the stock following the earnings report.

Here's what analysts are saying on Thursday.
Evren Kopelman, Wells Fargo Securities (Market Perform; $137-$141 valuation range)
Improved sales trends in August and the Q2 2014 EPS beat ($1.51 vs. consensus and our estimate of $1.42) are lifting the PE multiple on PVH shares today (9/4) as confidence is now higher around the achievability of H2 estimates. In addition, the company noted that inventory in the channel is clean. The beat in the quarter was from Tommy Hilfiger and better gross margins. PVH did not flow through the Q2 EPS beat to full-year guidance due to the negative impact from a weaker Euro in the H2 2014. We are slightly raising our FY2014/2015 EPS estimates to $7.40/$8.55 from $7.38/$8.50, and our valuation range is now $137-141 (from $127-132) based on 16-16.5x our 2015E EPS. We think that for the next real move in the stock, we need to wait to see sell-through trends on new CK product.

Gosselin: If you're a Dallas Cowboys fan, forget about trying to snag Johnny Manziel
SportsDay columnist Rick Gosselin hosted a live chat Monday morning. Here are some of the highlights:
Q: Should the Dallas Cowboys trade for Johnny Manziel?
Gosselin: The Cowboys don't have enough to offer. When it's all said and done, I believe you'll have to get into the Top 5 to guarantee yourself a shot at Manziel. The Cowboys sit at 16, possibly 17 if they lose the coin flip with the Ravens. Teams offering to trade down, want draft picks. Lots of them. Lots of high ones. The two teams with multi-first round picks in this draft are St. Louis and Cleveland -- and the Rams are already in the Top 5. So don't bother speculating veteran players -- Miles Austin, Barry Church, Orlando Scandrick, Doug Free and some of the other names I've heard from readers this season. It will cost the Cowboys a pair of ones, a two, a three and maybe more to get up for a chance to get Manziel. That's giving up a lot for a guy who figures to be sitting on the bench for at least two years as (Tony) Romo gets into his new contract. I like the idea -- the Cowboys just lack the ammo to get there.
Q: Let's say Jerry gets that itch and trades up to top 10 to draft Johnny Football...what do you do with Romo? Try and trade him, cut him and take the cap hit, or let Manziel ride the pine while Cowboys finish 7-9 and miss the playoffs again?
Gosselin: Forget about Manziel. Because of the financial commitment to Romo going forward, the Cowboys can't afford to pay a player first or second round money who doesn't even figure to get on the field for at least two seasons. If the Cowboys go quarterback, my guess is they'll start looking in the fourth round at the earliest.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
St. Louis, MO, United States, 2011/04/18 - The University of New Mexicos Science & Mathematics Learning Center in Albuquerque was dedicated on March 4, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and building tour.
University Regent Don Chalmers and President David Schmidly were joined by political and community leaders and senior administrators for the event.
Im very excited to see the vision of the Center come to life, said Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Brenda Claiborne. Not only does the center provide fully equipped teaching labs and classrooms aimed at engaging freshmen and sophomores in science and mathematics, but it also provides spaces for students to interact in a more informal way with each other and with faculty.
Built by McCarthy NM, the $14 million Center completes the transformation of the Universitys western boundary into a gateway to the technological heart of the campus. The design of the 62,000-square-foot building unites the previously scattered mathematics department and integrates technology-rich chemistry and biology classrooms with a 200-seat auditorium, a visualization lab, smart classrooms, distance learning facilities, and a café. The integration of sustainable design and construction strategies mean the building is well positioned to achieve gold certification under LEED for Schools from the United States Green Building Council.
The design of the building is a contemporary translation of the campus historic pueblo style. Exterior detailing responds to the strong New Mexico sun with deeply set windows on the east and west facades and sun screening on the south.
Van H. Gilbert Architect PC of Albuquerque was the Executive Architect for the project, in association with Higher Education Specialist and Design Architect Sandy Howe of Shepley Bulfinch. Construction on the building began in May 2010.
About McCarthy NM
Founded in 1864, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (mccarthy.com) is one of the nations oldest and largest commercial construction companies and is ranked among the top five education builders by Engineering News-Record. The firm operates as McCarthy NM in New Mexico and has been building in the state for 30 years. McCarthy is 100 percent employee owned.

Suspects in stolen car lead Gaithersburg police on chase, crash into tree
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WJLA) - Gaithersburg police arrested three men Sunday after they led officers on a car chase that ended with the men crashing into a tree.
According to the department, police officers attempted to pull over a silver Toyota Camry in the area of W. Diamond Avenue and Bureau Drive on Sunday, after witnessing the driver commit more than one traffic violation. Officers said they suspected the driver may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The driver refused to stop the car, leading officers through the parking lots of several businesses and then onto Firstfield Road to the 1200 block of Orchard Boulevard.
It was there that the driver reportedly lost control of the car and crashed into a tree.
Upon investigation, it was discovered the car had been reported stolen out of Frostburg, Md.
A search of the vehicle also yielded a .40-caliber Glock handgun and various dangerous controlled substances and paraphernalia, as well as alcohol containers.
The driver and his two passengers were arrested. They have been identified as Dimetri Johnuel Zevon Frank, 20, of Keswick Place in Frederick; Daniel Kion Garrison, 21, of Heather Ridge Drive in Frederick; and Jamal Dashawn Harris of Waterford Drive in Frederick.
Garrison and Harris were charged with handgun and drug-related charges. Frank was charged with auto theft-related charges.
Frank, Garrison and Harris are currently being held at the Montgomery County Detention Center.

Moving to Detroit
The other big question mark for young people putting down roots in the city is education: Sokoly admits that if he were married and thinking about having children, sending them to the struggling Detroit Public Schools "would be a long, hard thought."
Craig Regester had that long thought--and left. The director of U-M's Semester in Detroit program, Regester lived in southwest Detroit for eighteen years. But last year, he and his wife made the painful decision to move to suburban Berkley.
Regester explains that they wanted their two kids to stay in public schools but in ones better than they were attending. "I loved my neighborhood," he tells me. "It was truly diverse." But he loved his kids more.
For many Detroiters, moving isn't an option. Longtime residents, black and white, have seen the city erode around them for decades as old neighbors die or move away. Many young people either have no jobs or wait for the bus to take them to minimum-wage jobs in the suburbs. For them, the green shoots along Woodward are little more than a distant rumor.

Creative Celebration
Dear Participant,
Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration. In our first year, we received outstanding poems, essays, and artwork that exemplify the creativity of New York State's young people.
The submissions received are remarkable in what they represent – showing gratitude and respect for family, friends, our troops fighting overseas, and many other important subjects and activities. I am humbled and honored to see such inspiring contributions in response to what is a deceptively difficult question: "What are you thankful for?"
On behalf of the New York State Senate, I would like to offer my wholehearted congratulations to all of the participants in this year's Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration.
