This is combinatorics, so I can't just say "oh, this is small" and cross it off like physicists do. :) I'm finding the number of set partitions that correspond to a certain integer partition. If p = p_1, p_2,...,p_k is an integer partition of n, then there are n! ---------------------------------------------- p_1! * p_2! * ... * p_k! * 1^c_1 * ... * k^c_k set partitions of [1..n] with "type p", where c_i is the number of i's in p. Knuth, in his new Art of Computer Programming book, asks which integer partition maximizes the number of set partitions. I'm trying to figure it out. Usings Ints everywhere isn't an option, because my final answers are definitely Integers -- although I might try using Ints in some places. I am still very new to Haskell and keep butting up against the type system, so initially I made everything an Integer so that my code would work! Doing cancellation before computing the factorials is also an option, but in general I'll have a lot of small numbers on the bottom, and would need to do a lot of integer factoring on the top -- and my impression is that integer factoring is quite slow, faster than integer multiplication -- that's why RSA works, right?!

Possible Spoiler on TNA's New Investor, More Low TNA Attendance, Styles-Dixie
– AJ Styles worked the main event of a PWX indie show in Winston Salem, NC last night and mentioned Dixie Carter in a post-match promo. AJ said his departure is not a storyline and he doesn't work for Dixie, he works for the fans.
– This weekend's string of low attendance at TNA live events continued with Sunday night's show in Albany, Georgia. An estimated 200-350 fans were in attendance. The show reportedly finished in under 2 hours. Here's a photo of the crowd:
– Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that MVP is scheduled to debut for TNA in a few weeks. He could be part of the new investor storyline.

Stuart Broad stole the show on an eventful first day of the 2nd Investec Test Match at Headingley against Sri Lanka.
Broad took a hat-trick and Liam Plunkett returned Test Match best figures of 5-64 as Sri Lanka were bowled all out for 257.
Broad became just the third man in Test history to take two hat-tricks, but the most remarkable thing was that he and his teammates were oblivious to the situation on the field. After taking a wicket with the last ball of his over, Broad then got two in two at the start of his next over after Plunkett struck at the other end in a spell of four wickets in nine balls.
Alastair Cook won the toss in the morning and put the visitors in to bat.
Jimmy Anderson, who produced a masterful display of swing bowling, removed Kaushal Silva for 13, caught behind by Matt Prior, and the diminutive batsman was followed back to the pavilion by his opening partner Dimuth Karunaratne who had his stumps splayed all over the place by Plunkett.
After reaching lunch at 74-2, veterans Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena looked to rebuild the innings amid hostile spells from Plunkett and Chris Jordan.
Plunkett got stuck in to the Sri Lankan middle order after lunch, removing Jayawardena and Lahiru Thirmanne in consecutive deliveries, the second of which was a vicious, rising delivery that Thirimanne could only fend to Sam Robson at short leg.
Angelo Mathews attempted to counter attack the English attack but Anderson returned to the attack to have him caught well at third slip by Gary Balance, and remove the dangerous opposing captain for 26.
Sangakkara moved past 50 despite the regular fall of wickets at the other end and despite giving away several chances the worst of which was floored by Prior on 27. The England keeper seemed to be already celebrating the wicket as the ball hit him in the chest and fell to the floor to the dismay of the Yorkshire crowd.
Dinesh Chandimal and Sangakkara fought back well after tea from 161-5 and were threatening to ruin England's hard work before a superb catch from Ian Bell in his 100th Test helped remove the left-hander for 79.
This started the period of carnage, as Plunkett had Dhammika Prasad caught behind for a duck before Broad returned next over to complete his hat-trick, removing Chandimal for 45 and Shaminda Eranga at the start of the over.
Broad's hat-trick was announced over the tannoy to the bemusement of the players and even the man himself before he cottoned on to what had happened.
Yorkshire pace man Plunkett grabbed the last wicket of the innings to finish with a well-deserved five-for, his best figures in Test cricket.
There was time for 18 overs for England to bat out before the close of play, which they did without concern, reaching 36-0.
Liam Plunkett burst through the Sri Lankan middle-order on a sunny afternoon at Headingley to put England firmly in control on the first day of the 2nd Investec Test Match.
Plunkett had clean bowled Dimuth Karunaratne in the morning session and produced a spell of hostile fast bowling to leave the Sri Lankan innings in tatters, claiming 3-47.
The Yorkshire fast bowler was unlucky not to have dismissed Kumar Sangakkara, after finding the edge of the bat only to see Matt Prior drop a regulation catch behind the stumps as the rest of the team wheeled away in celebration.
Despite the drop, Plunkett soon had Mahela Jayawardena caught out at second slip. Chris Jordan was the man that took a spectacular low, one-handed catch to dismiss the former Sri Lankan skipper for 22.
The very next ball Lahiru Thirimanne fended a rising short ball straight to Sam Robson at short leg who made no mistake, leaving Plunkett on a hat-trick and Sri Lanka 108-4.
Angelo Mathews looked to counter attack for the visitors, and targeted the part-time spin of Moeen Ali, lofting him into the rugby ground forcing Alastair Cook to withdraw him from the attack.
Mathews reached 26 before he was dismissed by Jimmy Anderson, caught well at third slip by Gary Balance for his second wicket if the day.
However despite offering up a plethora of chances, Sangakkara reached 50 and was unbeaten at the break, playing some of the classy shots that he is so well known for.
Sri Lanka finished the afternoon session on 182-5, with Sangakkara on 67 and Dinesh Chandimal 10 the unbeaten batsmen.
England made a good start to the 2nd Investec Test Match against Sri Lanka at Headingley, reducing the visitors to 74-2 at the end of the first session.
After choosing to bowl first, Alastair Cook and his men were led on to the field by Ian Bell who is appearing in his 100th Test this week.
The Sri Lankan openers, Kaushal Silva and Dimuth Karunaratne made a solid start in testing conditions with Jimmy Anderson in particular getting the ball to move in the air.
Stuart Broad had a shout for LBW turned down by umpire Billy Bowden against Silva, with replays showing that the decision would have been overturned if Broad had managed to convince the captain to review the decision.
However with the score on 37-0, Anderson got a ball to straighten to Silva and caught the outside edge of the bat, with Matt Prior completing the catch to dismiss Silva for 13.
Anderson bowled an excellent spell but was replaced by Liam Plunkett who ripped out the stumps of Karunaratne with just his second ball to reduce the visitors to 56-2.
Plunkett and Chris Jordan had key men Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena in all sorts of trouble before the lunch break as the sun came out, but both men survived to go into the break with the score on 74-2.

Comments about Liquitex Basics Round:
I use the Liquitex Basic Round 2 brush for white inks on my comic work, and it works really well. I can get some fairly thin lines with this brush, but the Round 2 seems to run a little larger than other round 2 brushes, at least from what I've seen.The only issue with these brushes is that the bristles don't seem to last too long and start splintering apart at the base, but that could just be improper care on my part.These brushes have very very long handles, which I actually like a lot. It doesn't get in the way or cause any problems, even for someone like me with small hands.DickBlick has the absolute best price on these brushes, too.
By Boku
from Honolulu, HI
This is the best brush I have ever bought. Cleans nicely after use with acrylic paint. Paint goes on smoothly. I'm really happy I bought this brush and hope to buy more!
Made me a small fortune!

Comments about Liquitex Basics Fan Brushes:
I make, for sale, facials and was finding it difficult to find an applicator that would distribute a thin layer of product on the face. Then I ran across these little beauties. Not only do they distribute an even, thin layer, they don't eat up the product. What I once sold was a single application has now become three applications and my sales soared! Thank you Liquitex!!!

First impressions can be wrong!
By shinseiko
from Baja AZ
I was prepared to hate all over these brushes after my spouse and I bought several of them, and they arrived with flimsy-feeling, warped handles. I sighed, threw mine in my bamboo brush cup, and figured you get what you pay for. I didn't bother touching these brushes until this evening. I had some detail painting to do on a tropical background for fan-anime, and needed a size 1 flat. The second I started painting I realised what a treasure I had in my hand. The bristles were stiff, snappy(!) and kept their shape even when wet. I was ecstatic when I found out that the grade of white Taklon which Liquitex is using in these even stays stiff after washing, which is more than I can say for my beloved Princeton brushes. Stiff bristles are good, since I do a large amount of tapping and blotting, (I'd call it stippling except I'm applying paint, not lifting it) and scrubbing and scumbling. I am still deducting points because these brushes are truly ugly looking with their cheap silver paint and warped handles,(one looks like you could use it for a bow!) but they are a surprisingly good value in spite of that. The business end of these brushes, which is what counts, is all business, and that makes me a happy painter. Now, if only Liquitex could only improve the handles (without changing a thing on the bristles!!!), they would get an unhesitating five stars from me....

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Local anglers aren't hooked on the new automated pay-and-park system installed at the state boat launch at Saratoga Lake.
The machine went into operation April 2, freeing up manpower for other much-needed jobs in the state parks system, which has been plagued by shrinking budgets and payroll the past few years.
More than 30 fishing boat trailers were parked at the launch Saturday, but some people question the new system's effectiveness.
"What stops you from driving right around it?" said Mike Maynard from Colonie. "I'd rather see a retiree or some kid there. It puts people to work."
Ken Messier of Clifton Park said, "It's a good idea, but it's got to be patrolled."
Scofflaws could park their vehicle, fish for several hours and leave without paying, which isn't fair to honest patrons who pay the $8-per-day fee, he said.
The machine only accepts exchange change -- cash or coin -- or credit cards. People who put in a $10 or $20 bill must take their receipt to the Saratoga Spa State Park administration building, about seven miles away, to receive change. With today's gas prices and the time involved, some people might not bother, especially if the change is only $2.
The administration building is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, including weekends.
The machines, made by a firm called Access Control, are being used by many municipalities throughout the country.
"It's being considered by many small state parks in particular or satellite places like the boat launch," Spa State Park Assistant Manager Thomas Mott said.
At least one city of Saratoga Springs parking lot has this type of machine, he said, and many cities are using them for on-street parking instead of coin-fed meters.
After paying, a ticket comes out that people put on their vehicle's dashboard, letting authorities know that payment has been made.
People caught cheating the system face being fined.
"We just bought a boat," said Mike Cameron of Hudson Falls, who came to survey the state launch. "I won't be back, not for $8 per day. You can launch your boat on the Hudson River for free, or the state launch on Lake George is free up until Memorial Day."
One frequent fisherman, who requested anonymity, said he bought an annual pass rather than pay a daily fee. "I fish so much that's the only way I can afford it," he said.
The man said he remembers when the state launch at Saratoga Lake was free.
"I wish that's what it was now: no charge," he said.
Over the course of a season, however, the launch generates considerable revenue for the parks system, which has been hit hard by cutbacks during the past few years' economic decline.
"It can't be free," Nick Ciannamea from Niskayuna said. "It's the state. I've got an annual pass. It cost $65. It's good at any state launch, anywhere in the state."

Hello all, I created a table where I used a timestamp type column and after inserting about 300 entries into this table I would now rather have two separate columns for that data: one for just the date and the other for just the time. I'm not sure what the best way would be to: 1) backup that information (from the current timestamp column), 2) drop the timestamp table, 3) add a date type table and a time type table, 4) and ultimately import the already-space-separated timestamp data into these two columns. Barring the above outline being erroneous, I suppose I just to know if there are any 'gotchas' that I should beware/know about before proceeding with this migration... as well as the syntax for piping data or running INSERT commands from a file on the commandline. Thank you very, very much for any and all help you might have. Bill Totman

I am using Textmate with the Silverstripe bundle.
The HTML Tidy command doesn`t work so great with this bundle as it probably has trouble with the templating system.
Is there anyone out there that has solved this issue. How do people handle there code formating?
Would be interested to hear how the community deals with these points.

After a few years of flirting with "emerging" markets that have now retreated into obscurity, British buyers are tentatively dipping a toe into overseas property again. But this time we are sticking resolutely to what we know and there are few places more familiar and safe than France.
"The big news is the Brits are back," announces Paul Humphreys from Knight Frank's French department. "It's a good time to buy. French property prices have fallen and there's a nice supply of good-quality properties at the right price on the market, in places we've always had love affairs with, such as Gascony and the Dordogne."
More than 70 per cent of Knight Frank's enquiries for France so far this year have been from Britons with the greatest interest in the south, south west and the Alps.
"The Paris market will come alive in springtime. Now is ski season, but prospective buyers are starting to come down from the Alps into the south of France to sniff around," Paul adds.
Besides the country's aesthetic charms – the vineyards and châteaux, the food, culture and countryside – France rates highly on practical points, too. Its proximity (good for the growing band of airport-haters who prefer to drive or take the train), international appeal (a bonus for holiday lets), weather (who isn't dreaming of sunshine right now?) and a weakening euro are all helping to rekindle our love of our nearest neighbour.
"It feels as though people are returning to old values. Better the devil you know," says Patricia Fevrier, director of newbuild specialist A Place in France.
So what are the top five French regions that we are rediscovering?
1 Gascony and the Dordogne
"The Dordogne is as the British imagine the countryside should be," says Harris Raphael from Pioneer France, who attributes its continuing appeal to its beautiful, relaxed setting – with rivers and bastide market towns – and a southern French climate without the coastal crowds. "We've seen an increase in enquiries and sales since the end of late 2009, mainly families with children looking for a holiday home and couples in their fifties thinking of retirement in a few years," Harris adds.
Knight Frank reports interest from commuters seeking a family home in France, where the husband can fly back from Bergerac or Bordeaux airports to an office in London.
The grandiose 12-bedroom Château La Tuque on the banks of the Dordogne might suit those planning to make the move in style. It's on sale for £2.17 million through Knight Frank. Local agency Pioneer France also has some classic châteaux on its books, including a 17th-century mansion with 16 bedrooms in Sarlat, set in 20 hectares, for £5.08 million.
They also have more affordable propositions, including a restored three-bedroom house near Belves, in honey-coloured stone, with a large double-volume stone barn, new heated pool and outstanding views, for £308,000.
If the Dordogne seems relaxed, you should see Gascony which is all about its slow pace (it clearly works – Gascony residents live longer than anyone else in Europe, attributable to the relaxed lifestyle and the Madiran red wines).
There are rolling fields against a backdrop of the Pyrenees and market towns that evoke Tuscany or the Cotswolds – only with cheaper properties. "There's a Spanish influence, with bullfighting in some towns, and an Alpine feel, too," says Paul Humphreys, who is marketing the region's landmark Château d'Arricau-Bordes near Pau, once owned by the musketeer d'Artagnan. "It's on sale for £3.18 million, which would buy you a five-bed villa in the south of France, not a piece of history like this."
Interest from prospective buyers is returning to pre-credit crunch levels, says Ian Purslow from Purslows Gascony estate agents, "and unlike the Dordogne, where you will hear nothing but English voices in some villages, buyers in Gascony spread themselves thinly across the region," he says.
But they still like to recreate elements of English life abroad. "It's a good climate for gardening, which you can't often do in Provence and there's the English prep school Château de Sauveterre, an outpost of Cothill House in Oxfordshire, which attracts families to the area," Purslow says.
For those thinking of relocating, a budget of £500,000 will buy a restored farmhouse with a pool in a market town such as Marciac (famous for its summer jazz festival), Vic-Fezensac or Mauvezin.
2 The Loire
For many, this is quintessential France, a land of rivers, châteaux, gastronomy and golf. The Loire is home to the well-known Les Bordes course in Orleans, ranked the second-best golf course in Europe.
A 15-minute drive away in the Loire valley, set around the region's oldest course, is Golf de Sologne, a new development on a 180-acre estate with a 19th-century château that is seeing a £2 million conversion into a private members' club, restaurant and 10 apartments costing from £122,000. New cottages from £135,000 and villas (prices to be released) are also being built in the grounds.
"It appeals to younger families as it's a lovely, safe estate with brand-new properties that you can buy on a leaseback basis with guaranteed rental returns," says Robert Green from Cluttons Resorts, which are marketing Golf de Sologne.
Also key to the Loire's allure is its proximity to Paris, 90 minutes by train at present but soon to be 35 minutes via a new fast link. "People who buy in the Loire are not looking for 320 days of Mediterranean sunshine or beaches. They want wine, architecture, history and they like being near Paris," says Roddy Aris from Winkworth France.
If a historic château, ranging from £1 million to £6 million, is a little over-budget, you can buy a beautiful five-bedroom country house in Sarthe, with landscaped gardens and vineyards, for £338,000 through Winkworth France.
3 Cote d'Azur
Property prices on the coast fell by about 15 per cent last year, but St Tropez remains the most robust of resorts, with planning laws banning building within 300 metres of the sea constraining supply. The investment-minded head to Nice, where sales to English buyers so far this year have included a £450,000 studio flat on the Promenade des Anglais, purely for high-end corporate lets and a small holiday flat in the Musicians Quarter for £225,000, reports Kirkor Ajderhanyan from Agency 107 Promenade.
"We're seeing a mixture of Brits with seemingly bottomless pockets looking for sea-view properties ranging from £150,000 to a few million all along the coast, while investors are looking for reductions and properties with great rental potential," he adds.
Patricia Fevrier from A Place in France adds that buyers want the certainty of a resale market, a given on the Cote d'Azur. "French buyers are particularly fond of newbuild properties," Fevrier says. "Buyers also want to know they can let out their property if they need to and what yield they will receive, something they didn't consider so vital a few years ago." Nice, adds Fevrier, is particularly popular among those wanting a pied-à-terre with good rental potential. Prices start from £150,000 for small apartments in Nice's old town.
4 Provence
For those who want to be within an easy drive of the Cote d'Azur but pay 20 to 30 per cent less for their property, Provence still has some pockets to be exploited by expats. "The housing stock has a sensational quality and the art galleries attract a lot of Parisians and celebrities who don't want to be on the coast," says Paul Humphreys from Knight Frank.
"Prices here fell by about 15 per cent but British buyers began to return inland last year before they did on the coast," says Paul. He adds that most of his clients have budgets of around £700,000 to £1.3 million, enough to afford a three-bedroom villa in Valbonne, in the south of France, or for about £1 million, a small villa outside St Tropez.
Roddy Aris from Winkworth recommends La Garde Freinet, half an hour in the hills behind St Tropez, but refreshingly removed from the super-yacht and Ferrari set. "For £1 million to £2 million you can buy a four to six bedroom house with a few acres of land, great views and lots of privacy, which is hard to find near the coast."
The Marsden family from Wells in Somerset – Bob, a commercial property investor, his wife Lynne and their children Jo, 18, Tom, 17 and Matt, 14 – intend to spend every school holiday in their 300-year-old house in La Garde Freinet, which they bought for £544,000.
Set in a forest hamlet built by monks, the house has three bedrooms, a pool and a wisteria-covered terrace.
"Prices here are about a third of what you would pay in St Tropez and we're away from the coastal traffic, which is horrendous in summer," says Bob, who has been spending holidays in the area for 20 years. "We hesitated about buying, then decided to take the plunge and this was the first property we saw. It was perfect so we bought it immediately," he says.
"It's an investment in terms of lifestyle rather than money as we spend all of our holidays here. It's slightly cooler here than on the coast in summer and much less touristy."
5 French Alps
Britons have returned to the slopes with cash to spend, not just on absurdly-priced cocktails but ski chalets. The Trois Vallées, which includes the ski resorts of Meribel and Courchevel, remain the most popular, but improved infrastructure across the valleys means you can find better value in less glitzy spots and still be within easy reach of prime ski territory.
"In Courchevel 1850, France's first purpose-built ski resort, a new four-bedroom chalet will cost £6 million, but there are lots of former farming villages with different personalities along the valley such as Le Freney, where a four-bedroom chalet on a new eco development costs £650,000," says Matthew Hodder-Williams from Knight Frank.
The Chamonix valley is another eternally-popular spot. "Buyers aren't interested in trailblazing, they want something of real substance," adds Matthew, who says Argentière village is seeing high demand, with plenty of bars and shops and a mix of old village farmhouses and new chalets. A five-bedroom chalet within five minutes walk of Argentière costs £1.5 million through Knight Frank.

Quick hits and notes from NC State's tough 69-67 loss to No. 4 North Carolina in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament Saturday afternoon in Atlanta in front of a crowd of 19,520 fans at Phillips Arena.
Play(s) of the game
The final minute, it seemed every break went UNC's way. It started with an unforced turnover with the game tied at 67-67 by NC State. Fifth-year senior guard Alex Johnson threw a simple pass wide to sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown, and the ball deflected off Brown's outstretched arms out of bounds, giving UNC possession with 42.6 seconds left.
UNC tried to get the ball to sophomore wing Harrison Barnes, but when nothing developed, they cleared out for sophomore guard Kendall Marshall. He drove to the basket to his left, made contact with Johnson who tried to draw the charge on the play. The refs ruled no foul, and Marshall was left with an open short shot that he banked in with 10.2 seconds left.
State hurried down the court, and junior wing Scott Wood tried to sling a pass under the basket to junior center DeShawn Painter, who was open for a brief second. UNC senior wing Justin Watts however alertly hustled underneath the basket and picked off the pass, although his shoes came tantalizingly close to touching the out of bounds line if it did not. Watts threw the ball all the way down the court.
Johnson recovered it and called timeout with 1.2 seconds left. State's last heave though resulted in junior forward Richard Howell not getting a clean shot off after he was tangled up with Barnes and UNC sophomore wing Reggie Bullock.
Highlight of the game
NC State was looking like they were in deep trouble down 66-61 after a pair of free throws from UNC senior center Tyler Zeller with 2:23 left. That's when Brown took over for State, and it started with an impressive drive to the basket that was finished with a high-flying two-handed dunk in traffic with 2:05 left.
Player of the game
For UNC, it clearly was Zeller. Without the services of junior forward John Henson, who sprained his left wrist in the quarterfinal win over Maryland Friday afternoon, UNC needed a big game from Zeller and got one. The ACC Player of the Year made 8 of 11 shots and 7 of 8 free throws for a game-high 23 points to go with a team-high nine rebounds before fouling out with 1:08 left.
For NC State it was sophomore forward C.J. Leslie, who made 9 of 14 shots and 4 of 6 free throws for a team-high 22 points and had seven rebounds in just 29 minutes before fouling out on two disputed fouls with over eight minutes left.
Tough loss
The bulk of the discussion following the game centered not on what was a hard-fought battle between two ACC rivals but rather what many believed was an unbalanced series of close calls that favored UNC. As CBS Sports' headline said: "UNC gets calls, eliminates NC State."
Both ESPN and MSNBC also took note, with the latter suggesting that NC State "probably got hosed" and ESPN stating in its bubble watch that NC State got "the wrong end of a couple of key calls."
"The refs were bad for both teams, but there's little question that NC State felt the lion's share of the pain," ESPN added.
Where are the wings?
For whatever reason, UNC has proven to be a tough matchup for NC State's wing duo of Wood and senior C.J. Williams. Wood went just 1 of 6 from the field, 0 of 4 from three-point range and finished with two points. He snapped his streak of consecutive games with a three-pointer at 29 games.
In three games this season against UNC, Wood went 6 of 23 from the field overall and 4 of 17 on threes and a total of 16 points.
Williams was not much better. He shot 1 of 5 from the field Saturday, including 0 of 2 from three-point range, and made 1 of 2 free throws for three points, continuing a recent offensive slump. Williams ended up playing 20 minutes, with Johnson getting the majority of the playing time at 28 minutes.
In three games this year against UNC, Williams scored a total of 19 points. More concerning though is Williams' stretch of play offensively over much of the past month. Starting Feb. 16 with the game at Duke, Williams has scored double figures just once in a nine-game stretch. At the ACC Tournament, Williams shot 6 of 22 from the field and 1 of 7 on three-pointers. Williams has made just 1 of his last 12 three-point attempts.
The bubble watch
Two of the most renowned "bracketologists" are ESPN's Joe Lunardi and CBS's Jerry Palm, who runs the respected site CollegeRPI.com. Both have NC State in the field of 68.
Lunardi has NC State as one of the last four teams in, with Mississippi State and Seton Hall behind them on that list. He has the Pack as a 13 seed in the South Region playing Seton Hall in one of the four play-in games for the right to face Wisconsin in the first round.
Palm also has the Pack playing in Dayton, facing Northwestern in the West Region, with the winner playing New Mexico in round one. Palm blogged early Sunday morning that he has NC State as the last team in the field.
What the loss means
NC State is 22-12 overall while UNC improved to 29-4 and will face Florida State for the ACC title Sunday afternoon. FSU defeated Duke in the other semifinal Saturday.
UNC continues its recent domination over State, winning its 13th straight over the Pack and 19th in the last 20 games. Carolina holds the overall edge in the series 147-75.
Other stats of note
- UNC had a slight 34-33 edge on the boards, but State had an 8-6 advantage in offensive rebounding. State had an impressive 17-8 edge in second-chance points.
- NC State dominated the transition game, a rarity for any team against UNC. The Pack had a 17-7 edge in fast break points.
- For the third straight game, NC State's bench outscored its opponent. State's reserves had 13 points compared to UNC's four.
- State had a slight 36-34 edge in the paint.
- NC State lost the turnover margin 16-15, and the Heels used that for an 18-11 edge in points off turnovers.

Missouri SR22 Insurance Filing Information!
No Problem! Let us find you the lowest price auto insurance quotes from the best insurance carriers in Missouri. Fill out an Auto Insurance quote form now and let us find you the best price available!
An SR22 Filing is a form issued by an insurance company which removes a suspension order placed by the Missouri Department of Revenue - Motor Vehicle & Drivers Licensing (MVDL) on your driving privilege. The filing provides a guarantee to the Missouri MVDL that an insurance company has issued at least minimum liability coverage for the person making that filing; AND - that the insurance company will notify the Missouri Secretary of State should the insurance ever lapse for any reason. We often get asked if a person can get an SR22 filing WITHOUT buying insurance - the answer is NO - because an SR22 filing is evidence of liability insurance in force.
How Can You Help Me Get an Missouri SR22?
Our agency represents many major insurance companies that actively write SR22 filing insurance. DON'T just get a quote from one company - you'll make a big pricing mistake! Our software will rate you with most major Missouri companies and put them in order of price, so YOU get the most affordable solution! We can issue the SR filing same day upon receipt of signed applications (which can be faxed and paid by credit card); and if you need it, we can overnight the filing to you for a small overnight fee. We have written thousands of SR filing accounts ... Let us help you too!
People whose license is under suspension by the Missouri MVDL need an SR22 Filing to reinstate their license. This includes, but is not limited to the following suspension reasons: drunk driving violations; more minor moving violations in one year than the law permits; suspensions from unpaid fines or parking violations; uninsured accidents; failure to comply with other Motor Vehicle laws or regulations.
How do I get a SR22 Filing to reactive my drivers license?
You must purchase minimum liability coverage on the vehicle(s) you own. If you do not own a motor vehicle, you must purchase "non-owners" liability coverage. The price is based on the severity of your driving record (accidents and violations), where you live, and the number of years of driving experience. If you do not know what is on your driving record, purchase it from Missouri Secretary of State. Then you must purchase the proper kind of Automobile, Motorcycle, or Non-Owners policy. Our goal is to find this coverage at the LOWEST COST TO YOU! That is why we are here.
How long must I maintain an SR22 Filing in Missouri?
Under normal circumstances the SR22 Filing period is one to three years. However, with the advent of stricter enforcement of driving laws, and lobbying against drunk drivers, the terms can be extended.

West, Texas Fertilizer Plant Explosion: How To Help
Last night I kept thinking, "I can't believe it's only Wednesday." This has been a disheartening week. In four days, we've had to publish two posts on BAD about how to help victims of horrific tragedies. Like you, like all of us, I want to sneak back into bed and stay there until the news gets just a little less bleak.
At 9:30 last night, a fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded, leveling over five neighborhood blocks. There were two explosions, about twenty minutes apart, which means first responder firefighters are among the victims, who are many. Hundreds of people have been hospitalized; a rough estimate of fatalities puts the number at somewhere between five and fifteen, but no one really knows yet. Over sixty homes have been damaged or destroyed, and there has been looting. People are missing. Firefighters are missing.
Don't sneak back into bed. Do something useful, however small, and it won't only help those affected in some little way, but it might also make you feel better, like you're fighting back against this devastating week. Don't just rail on Twitter - fight back with something tangible.
Those who live in Texas or Massachusetts: donate blood any time over the next few weeks. These catastrophes will create a great need state-wide, as blood bank resources are currently being funneled to the sites of the explosions. I live in Houston, 200 miles from West, but I'm still going to donate blood tomorrow, and again as soon as they'll let me.
You can also donate funds to the Red Cross Disaster Relief, which will go directly toward assistance in those areas that need it most.
In West, the Aggieland Outfitters are collecting supplies (clothes, food, water, toiletries, toys, etc) for those displaced from their homes by the plant explosion. You can send them a check to the following address, and 100% of your donation will go toward these supplies.
Point West Bank
PO Box 279
West, TX 76691
If you live near West, here's a list of other businesses that are accepting donations for the victims.
Here's Devin's blog about how to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
And not for nothing, but be nice to people this week. Rise above petty grievances on the web or in traffic. Spend time with the people you love. Smile at a stranger who's probably having as bad a week as you are. And try to keep in mind that most of us aren't having nearly as bad a week as we could. Most of us are lucky - we haven't lost our homes or our lives or our friends or family. Give a little of that luck to someone who needs it this week.

For months now, the return of "Mad Men" seemed destined to happen and yet frustratingly out of reach. And while the word has finally been given, all is not well at at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce agency.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC has gone forward with a new season of "Mad Man," but the show won't be back until next year.
"AMC has officially authorized production of season 5 of 'Mad Men,' triggering our option with Lionsgate (Mad Men's production company)," said the network in a statement. "While we are getting a later start than in years past due to ongoing, key non-cast negotiations, 'Mad Men' will be back for a fifth season in early 2012."
The "non-cast negotiations" referred to in the statement are those between AMC/Lionsgate and "Mad Men" creator/showrunner, Matthew Weiner.
Deadline is reporting that Weiner was close to a deal with the network that would pay him nearly $30 million for two additional season, making him the highest paid showrunner on basic cable.
However, the deal has reportedly hit a major snag over three points. The network wants more "integrating product placement" within the show itself, the elimination of two cast members as a cost savings measure and the network also wants the running time of each episode to be shortened by two minutes to allow more room for commercials. Weiner is rumored to be adamantly opposed to all of those points and the negotiations between him and the network are said to be "on the rocks."
"Mad Men" is the signature original series of AMC, winning the Emmy Award from Best Drama for three straight years. The series has faced delays before over protracted negotiations, but the latest round of talks will mean that the series will be without new episodes for almost a year and a half.
AMC's other critically acclaimed hit, "Breaking Bad" will return this summer, while its blockbuster series "The Walking Dead" will bow for a second season in the fall, potentially mitigating the loss of "Mad Men" for at least the rest of the year.

Playoff bracket breakdown
Las Vegas Sun sports reporters Ray Brewer and Case Keefer discuss their way through the Sunrise and Sunset playoff brackets. They disagree on the early rounds, but come to a consensus on who will advance to the state championship.
Related coverage
The Foothill High basketball team erased an 18-point third quarter deficit Tuesday in rallying for a 68-66 victory against visiting Valley in the Sunrise Regional quarterfinals.
The Falcons trailed by 11 points at the start of the fourth quarter, but caught fire just in time to extend their season. They'll play regional-favorite Canyon Springs in the Sunrise semifinals, but could have an advantage because they are the host school for the final two rounds of the tournament.
"Hopefully, that is an advantage for us," Foothill coach Kevin Soares said. "It's going to be nice because the crowd will be there for us and it is our rims."
Foothill only trailed Valley by six points at halftime, but opened the second half with consecutive turnovers in letting the game get away. Within the span of a few minutes, the manageable halftime deficit was 18 points.
"We kind of got into a funk there to start the quarter," Soares said. "We just kept crawling back. We wanted to only trail by 10 at the start of the fourth quarter and we were down 11."
Brannon Cresanto led Foothill with 16 points and Greg Cox had 15.

From Lililicious:
A classic manga about girls at a private all-girls school. The storyline centers around the experiences of Nanako, a "normal" girl who is invited to join the prestigious school organization, the Sorority, and is resented by all the other students because she doesn't appear to be qualified. Other key characters are Nanako's two friends: Tomoko, her friend since childhood who is alienated by Nanako's decision to try to join the Sorority, and Mariko, a strange, obsessive girl who is invited to join the Sorority along with Nanako; her "older brother," Henmi, who she corresponds with by mail; and the "Three Magnificent Ones," all of whom are admired and quasi-worshipped by the rest of the student body: the head of the Sorority, Miya-sama, the haunted, pill-popping rebel, Saint Juste, and the star athlete with a mysterious disease who doesn't like the Sorority, Kaoru-no-kimi.

Police ID 3 Officers Shot During Pursuit
Columbus police on Monday released the identities of three officers who were shot while pursuing a man a suspected of killing four people in Adams County.
The officers were shot while chasing Randle Roberts in the 1900 block of Genessee Avenue, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.
The officers who were wounded were identified as Officer John Sullivan, a 23-year member of the police force; Sgt. Robert Forsythe, a 21-year member of the force and Sgt. Tyron Hollis, a 23-year member of the force.
All three officers were assigned to the patrol division, a police spokesman said.
Forsythe and Hollis are both recovering at home.
SLIDESHOW: Police Shooting
Sullivan remains hospitalized at The Ohio State University Medical Center, where he is being treated for multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
Sullivan was the first officer struck by a bullet when Roberts began to fire, Landers reported.
"There's no doubt in my mind he was out to kill police officers," said Jim Gilbert, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge. "Officer Sullivan was shot in the ear; he cheated death."
All three officers were shot by Roberts, 27, before he was fatally shot.
Family members said that Roberts was staying with relatives in southwest Ohio, but on Friday night he shot and killed four of them, among them his father-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and his 11-year-old niece, the Adams County Sheriff's Office said.
It was not clear what led up to the slayings. An 8-year-old girl who lived in the home where the shootings occurred was not hurt.
Authorities in Columbus were notified of the killings on Saturday and told that Roberts may be in Columbus.
Officers were investigating a report of someone firing gunshots at houses in the Linden neighborhood late Saturday morning when they spotted a pickup that Roberts was driving.
There was a pursuit and Roberts fled on foot after crashing the pickup near Genessee Avenue.
Roberts was also connected to thefts in Franklin and Delaware counties.
Franklin County Sheriff's deputies and Mifflin Township Police were also involved in the shootout.

All of the children left their father, William McMurray's farm on the Cowpasture River in Augusta County (now Botetourt County, VA).
James was married twice in Kentucky, his first wife was Jane McEwee ( or McElroy, I prefer the former). Jane was an orphan, born circa 1772 (based on marriage info). Jane died 06 Oct 1797. Second wife is Margaret (Peggy) Priest Smith, they were married 20 Jan 1799. My ancestor, William McMurray, was the oldest son of Jane & James. Other children of the first marriage was Janet Jane, Thomas, Sally, and James.

The Modular QoS CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) structure that allows you to create service polices and attach these policies to interfaces, subinterfaces and ATM or Frame Relay virtual circuits (VCs). A traffic policy contains a traffic class and one or more QoS features. A traffic class is used to classify traffic, while the QoS features in the service policy determine how to treat the classified traffic.
This document clarifies where to apply service policies on ATM interfaces. Service policies are part of the IP to ATM Class of Service (CoS) feature set for differentiated service over ATM interfaces. For more information on IP to ATM CoS, see IP to ATM Class of Service Overview and Configuring IP to ATM Class of Service. This document assumes an understanding to IP to ATM CoS and of the commands of the MQC.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
As of Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.2 and 12.2T, ATM interfaces support service policies at three logical interfaces - main interface, subinterface, and VC. The selection of a particular logical interface depends on the QoS features to be applied in the traffic policy. Use the following table to determine where to apply a service policy:
|Service Policy
|Main Interface
|Service policy with queueing only
|Service policy with queueing and shaping
Cisco IOS Software prints the following log message when you attempt to attach a policy to a subinterface and a PVC, which is not an allowed combination.
Note: To view this message, the logging console command must be configured from global configuration mode.
3640-105(config)#int atm 1/0.1 point 3640-105(config-subif)#service-policy output leslie 3640-105(config-subif)# 2w5d: Attaching service policy to sub-interface and pvc concurrently is not allowed
In general, queueing-related features, applied with commands such as random-detect, bandwidth, priority, and fair-queue, apply only in the context of a hierarchical policy with shaping at the parent policy to create a bandwidth-limited traffic stream with queueing of excess packets. In other words, a queueing mechanism applies to packets that have been restrained in a queue by a shaping mechanism. A service policy that specifies queueing and no shaping cannot be applied directly to subinterfaces of any type since subinterfaces do not support inhererently a state of congestion. Instead, you first need to apply shaping to the subinterface using class-based shaping. Cisco IOS Software prints the following log message when an ATM subinterface is configured with a service policy that applies queueing without shaping.
Note: To view this message, the logging console command must be configured from global configuration mode.

However, the same policy is accepted on an ATM VC since the VC supports native ATM-layer shaping via the vbr-nrt, vbr-rt, cbr or abr commands.

Please see the section below for restrictions on which router platforms support the shape command.
Newer ATM interface hardware such as the PA-A3 port adapter and the ATM network modules for the 2600 and 3600 Series creates a separate packet queue for each virtual circuit (VC). The purpose of per-VC queues is to ensure that one congested VC does not consume all the memory resources and starve other VCs. Thus, the most logical place to apply a service policy is at the PVC level in VC configuration mode. For further clarification of per-VC queueing, please see Understanding Per-VC Transmit Queuing on the PA-A3 and NM-1A ATM Interfaces.
Alternately, if your service policy applies packet marking with the set command or the traffic policing with the police command, you may choose to apply a policy to the ATM subinterface.
Older ATM hardware does not maintain per-VC queues. For example, the PA-A1 was designed for use in campus LAN Emulation (LANE) environments and maintains only an interface-level queue. Thus, you may choose to treat the PA-A1 main interface as a single "fat pipe" and apply a service policy with queueing features to the main interface. For further clarification, please see Understanding ATM Hardware Support for IP to ATM CoS.
As of Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2(4)T and 12.2(2), ATM and Frame Relay interfaces support one policy or specific combinations of multiple policies.
ATM interfaces on platforms other than the Cisco 7500 Series support input service polices on one logical interface only. Applying service policies on both the main interface and a subinterface of that main interface is not supported. If you choose to apply a service policy at the PVC level, as is recommended, each PVC can support a unique input service policy.
ATM interfaces on platforms other than the Cisco 7500 Series support output service policies on up to two logical interfaces simultaneously. The following table lists the valid combinations.
|Main Interface
If you apply an output service policy to a VC and then apply a policy to a subinterface, only the first attached policy takes effect.
The Cisco 7500 Series uses a distributed architecture that ensures high packet throughput by moving the packet-forwarding decisions from the Route Switch Processor (RSP) to the VIPs. This architecture also enables the deployment of large-scale enhanced IP services such as QoS by spreading the processing load across the multiple independent processors of the VIPs.
Depending on the interface hardware, the Cisco 7500 Series supports two forms of QoS:
|How Enabled
|Where Supported
|Where Processed
|Automatically on legacy Interface Processors.
|Legacy Interface Processors. Can no longer be enabled on VIPs.
|VIP-Based (Distributed)
| Automatically when the following two commands are configured:
In general, VIP-based QoS mechanisms applied via the modular QoS CLI (MQC), including commands such as bandwidth, priority, shape, and police, are introduced in three Cisco IOS Software release trains:
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(XE), which became 12.1(E).
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(9)S.
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(5)T, which became 12.2 mainline and 12.2T.
In these releases, you attach a service policy directly to an ATM PVC and achieve per-VC feature functionality. All the MQC commands - including police, set, bandwidth, priority, and shape - are supported. Alternately, if you choose to attach a policy to an ATM subinterface and the subinterface has a single ATM PVC, the resulting behavior is the same as if the policy were attached to the PVC. Since policies can be attached directly to a PVC, there is generally no reason to attach a policy to a subinterface. Cisco retained subinterface service policies on the PA-A3 for backward compatibility.
The following table lists the progression of support for service policies on logical interfaces on the PA-A3 in the Cisco 7500 Series.
|Feature Enhancement
|Introduces class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) in Cisco IOS Software on various interface types.
|Introduces CBWFQ on subinterfaces on the PA-A3.
|Replaces the the show interface fair-queue command with the show policy-map command for displaying service policy statistics on the PA-A3.
|Introduces CBWFQ and low latency queueing (LLQ) on the PA-A3 on individual VCs. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(7)XE is an "X" or short-lived release. All X releases merge back into a subsequent T release. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(7)XE merged back into the T train with 12.1(5)T. Thus, on the Cisco 7500 Series, MQC-based per-VC queueing features are not available in 12.1 mainline and any 12.1T release prior to 12.1(5)T.
The show interface atm command will display "Queuing strategy: fifo" even after you apply a queueing-based service policy. The queueing strategy reflects the view of the Cisco 7500 Series RSP and not the status of the distributed services. Use the show policy interface command to verify the expected functionality.

ATM interfaces support native ATM-layer shaping using a command such as vbr-nrt and abr. Additionally, you may choose to shape particular IP-layer flows or subnets forwarded through an ATM interface. As of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(8)T, only the Cisco 7500 Series running distributed QoS services supports such a configuration with Cisco IOS 12.2 mainline, 12.1E and 12.0S release trains.
This configuration typically would use a hierarchial policy with shaping at the parent layer and queueing at the child layer. A sample configuration is provided below.
|Sample Configuration for Hierarchical Policy with shape Command
policy-map child class prec2 bandwidth percent 60 class prec4 bandwidth percent 20 class class-default fair-queue ! policy-map parent class prec24 shape average 10240000 40960 40960 service-policy child ! interface ATM5/0/0.1 point-to-point pvc 1/101 vbr-nrt 50000 50000 94 service-policy output parent
The Cisco 3600, and 2600 series and other non-distributed platforms do not support class-based shaping with the shape command on ATM router interfaces; a feature request has been filed. As a workaround, configure per-VC class-based policing using a service policy that applies the police command. In this configuration, you do not create a child queueing policy since a policer simply drops or forwards a packet and does not queue any excess above the burst parameters. The Cisco 7200 and 7500 support class-based shaping for ATM VCs only in 12.0(26)S and later S train.
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(2)T introduces a new form of back-pressure on the PA-A3 to support queueing on a tag-switching interface over a set of unspecified bit rate (UBR)-like Tag VCs (TVCs). The only congestion feedback mechanism in this configuration is for the entire set of TVCs, not per-VC.
Cisco offers two graphical user interface tools for configuring and monitoring advanced IP-based QoS functionality within Cisco routers, and is used to ease QoS configuring and monitoring.
QoS Device Manager 2.1 can apply service policies to subinterfaces and main interfaces only; it cannot apply a service policy at the VC level. For reference, please see the Release Notes. As of August 2002, VC-layer service policies configured from within QDM are not planned.
QoS Policy Manager 2.1 introduces support for configuring service policies on ATM point-to-point subinterfaces with a single VC. For reference, please see Release Notes and Installation Guide for CiscoWorks2000 QoS Policy Manager 2.1. QPM 3.0 will support configuring VC-layer service policies.

Before I start with my next post I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read my blog post :).
Keep the feedback coming, it feeds me with energy and enthusiasiam to write MOAR! x]
– That feeling! Your fingers twitching for something…
just like our tummy moans for more, our compromises and quirkiness just for that <Little more. Just a bit more please>.
Our hearts thump for more.. more more more!
Ok, enough of the <more> 😛
– We sometimes just want to leave everything and go click something? (are you getting what I mean?… that moment when your fudgy wudgy doggy did something so epically cute?¡?…. and YOU MISSED IT *boo* )
– And when you see the moment and can't capture it.. GAH !@#$%^& the vivid language that follows, the anger or the cloud of emotions that follow.. the regrets…….
…. maybe even run cold…
(ever felt all of that at once :O?)
So a few off hand tips or a few things which have helped me personally with these moments
- Keep your camera on some kind of multiple shots mode… what I mean is keep it on a mode where the moment u keep your finger pressed on the shutter it'll keep shooting (till you leave the shutter or till your camera buffer gets full or whatsoever). Most cameras have this mode or 'feature'. Not only your big DSLR, even compact cameras have them also. Nowadays even phones have these modes (HTC One X, GSIII to name a few. If not they have virtually a zero lag shutter EG: the iPhone)
- A simple note like CARRY YOUR CAMERA wherever you go :). I agree, we are all human, we all forget; our lives catch up. You'd be surprised what a BLESSING today's phones are with regards to their cameras. Don't be hesitant just SHOOT – CLICK – PRESS THE BUTTON!¡!!!
- Don't preview your moment forever, MOVE on and shoot some more. If you missed it, don't sulk and look at your image. SHOOT some more! WHo knows?! You may just get another chance at it !
- Keep all your camera setting done earlier before you intend on shooting. (this does not apply if you SUDDENLY want to shoot something in a fraction of a second. This would apply if you know or feel that, that MAGICAL moment will be coming soon so you can prepare yourself. Don't be a BUTTON MONKEY (my personal term for all that fiddling and twitching all those setting while your magic has gone. *poof*!).
and lastly JUST SHOOT!!!
post some photos on your magic moments captured and share your thought in the comments below about your favourite 'MAGIC MOMENT'
Cause when that URGE build…
– THATS when you can safely say you're a *TRIGGER CONSCIOUS person* 😀
(I'll upload some more MAGIC moments soon)

NEW YORK (Jul. 11)
Rabbi William Berkowitz, president of Bnai Zion, said that the meeting held last week between President Carter and American Jewish leaders concerning Israel "still left many gaps and doubts and unanswered questions about American policy vis-a-vis Israel."
In a report sent to the National Executive Board of Bnai Zion across the country concerning his visit to the White House, Berkowitz, who was among the more than 40 Jewish leaders at the hour-long meeting, praised the length of the meeting and the presence of top U.S. officials but added that "in essence this meeting with the President was a one-way discussion. Next time I would hope for a true dialogue with a greater interchange between the President and all the participants."
Continuing, Berkowitz said. "This meeting which was called to clarify the Administration's policy concerning Israel and to reassure the American Jewish community, proved to be inconclusive, unclear and fuzzy. Many statements bordered on the ambiguous and were open to differing interpretations while other statements as reported in the press and media created a misleading impression of what really took place." Moreover, Berkowitz indicated that "one left the meeting with the impression that the Administration felt that peace possibilities were contingent upon a return by Israel to pre-67 borders. Although not stated, this was understood."
Referring to reports that there is a growing erosion of support for Carter in the American Jewish community, Berkowitz said that "I am still not totally sure that the President is fully aware of the continued erosion of support for him in the Jewish community on the part of the average Jewish voter. Many of them now seem to have one eye on his Mideast policy and the other eye on the polls of 1980. They are still worried and do not seem to have been reassured as a result of this meeting."
Continuing, the Zionist leader added: "The President and his advisors may be of the impression that they have convinced the American Jewish leadership through this meeting concerning the wisdom of their policy in the Middle East. While some may have been convinced, many others are still skeptical and faced with question marks.
"Many, if not all, Americans admire the courage of President Carter in his forthright stand on human rights even at the risk of antagonizing the Soviet Union. Some of that courage and forth-rightness seemed to be lacking at this meeting. The time is long past for America to assume moral leadership and to state the case in the Middle East as it really is."

Where is a good place to have passport photos taken? Walgreen? Kinkos?
The cheapest place you can find! Most places have instant passport photos....Walgreens here is $7.99. DOn't know about other places. The nice thing is that many places don't require and appointment and only take 5 minutes.
Log in or Sign up
to hide this advert.
If you have AAA they do it for free. Otherwise Kinkos is a great place.
You can do them yourself as well.... You can look here for details on doing this:
or Costco, if you are a member.
We just did ours at Costco for $4.99. They were actually good quality photos. I was expecting drivers license photos. The lady at the Post Office mentioned if you have them done at Walgreens or CVS to make sure that they are the exact size they are suppose to be. She said she sends people back to those two places on a regular basis because the photos are too big. It shows an outline on the application.
We had ours done at the local luggage and travel outfitters store for $4.99
I did ours at home and printed them.
They dont attach them to the passports anymore, they scan them in. If you do it yourself you can get the photo you like instead of whatever the photo looks like when they take it for you.
We got it done the same place we were getting our passports... Not sure about the cost, though, but it was very easy as we didn't have to travel to different places to get the pictures taken, to get the birth certificuts, and then get the passports (BTW, if you have an abstract birth certificut, like my brother did that he used for baseball, trade it in for the regular one. Both the passport people and sports leagues don't accept them anymore. Well, at least in California and Texas).
We did ours at home as well. For a family of 5 it is a significant cost savings and so easy to do yourself.
I didn't realize you could do them yourself at home! I will get the guidelines from the website and just do my at home!
Much easier!
We've done ours at home for the last couple of passports (renewal, change of name and a new one). They have all worked out well.
We needed to get 5 as well, and it was a great savings.
Just get the guideline for the head size and make a few different sizes of your photo. I transferred mine into Microsoft Word and after printing a rough draft I held the template behind the photo and got the exact size we needed.
Techinically, Little League has never accepted abstract birth certificates...however some local league weren't being very good about checking. Little League starting cracking down 5 years ago. Especially after the Danny Armana (sp) mess in the Little League World Series several years ago.
Was just in the AAA website AAA California. Scroll down a bit. They say passport photos are $8 for members and $15 for non-members. Maybe it's different in every state or office?
Separate names with a comma.

Alexandria City Public Schools consider ending class rankings
Graduating at the top of the class may soon become history in Alexandria.
The city public school's superintendent is considering ending class ranking.
Alexandria would join Fairfax and Montgomery counties in tossing out the practice of naming a valedictorian.
The theory is doing so would encourage students to take more elective classes that interest them over classes that would simply boost their ranking.
T.C. Williams Valedictorian Charlotte Clinger said, "A lot of people have to choose between either being highly ranked or pursuing maybe band or drama or something like that."
Clinger never registered for a new class without first calculating the cost of doing so.
The T.C. Williams senior is ranked "Best in Class" out of 668 students.
"I don't think that we should be necessarily working towards just being number one," Clinger added. "What people should be striving for, I think, is just to take classes that they're interested in."
She and many other students pass up electives in favor of advanced placement courses that are more heavily weighted.
Edom Tesfa, a junior at T.C. Williams, said, "I've been hearing rumors about who's first and who's second and who's third...people complaining about how they can't reach the top."
"It's a shame,"{ }T.C. Williams Principal Suzanne Maxey added. '...so we talked about what other schools all over this nation are doing, and what they're doing is they're doing away with class ranking."
Maxey and her colleagues spent the past six months doing research.
School Counseling Director Greg Forbes said, "College representatives have shared with me that they no longer consider class ranking as part of the college application process or the admissions process."
Nine out of 11 colleges polled say class rank has no bearing on a student's application. The remaining two schools say it doesn't matter if they have some way of gauging how a student compares to his or her classmates, like GPA.
Alexandria Superintendent Morton Sherman says the top students will always be recognized.
"For example, when I was a high school principal, we honored the top 10 scholars. You didn't know who was first. You didn't know who was 10th, and the 10 were on stage," Sherman said.
PTSA President Marianne Hetzer added, "What I'm hearing from parents, by and large, is that the majority seem to be either okay with it or neutral on the situation with a very small minority vehemently opposed to the elimination of class rank...They think that the competition is a good thing for the students."
The fate of class rankings lies in the superintendent's hands. He hopes to make a decision by Thursday, Dec. 20 when the school board meets.
Approximately 50 percent of high schools in the country do not rank.

Mom, model and mogul Kathy Ireland is busy working on a new project these days, teaming with Latisse and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to raise over $400,000 to help make sick kids' dreams come true. The 47-year-old mom-of-three talks to Parade about the importance of giving back.
On learning to lend a hand: "My dad was a labor union organizer and my mom is a nurse. Our family taught us that all that you give is all that you get."
On being a very proud mama: "Our three kids are amazing heroes. Each of them is involved in non-profit activities all year-round. They serve in foreign countries, disaster relief, world hunger, and local education efforts. Our kids just don't stop giving."
On being called "an advocate for working mothers:" "All moms work whether we get paid or not. As moms, we need lots of help. There are so many demands on our time. You never stop being a mom. It's a lifetime occupation. Once I became a mother, I understood how under-served mothers are today. That's why the foundation of kathy ireland Worldwide, '…finding solutions for families, especially busy moms.' That mission now includes over 45,000 products which are sold in more than 50 countries."
On prioritizing: "Thank you, but I don't do it all… at least not all at once. You can have it all, but not at the same time. You must set priorities. Mine are faith, family and being of service through our work. And, for the record, I was never an actress. I have the bad movies to prove it!"
