FLIGHT TRAINING FEESThe aviation management/flight
operations program requires additional fees for certain courses involving flight
training. These courses are offered in cooperation with Aerosim
Flight Academy.
In order to receive clearance to fly, students must pay flight course fees in
full when they register for flight courses. All obligations to the University
must be paid or covered with guaranteed financial aid in order to receive a
clearance to fly. Guaranteed financial aid may be applied to flight fees;
however, clearance to fly will only be given if the remaining balance, after
guaranteed financial aid is considered, has been paid. Tuition prepayment plans
may not be applied to flight fees. There are no exceptions to this
Flight course fees are based on a course allocation table. Because flying is
a skill, the student's actual course cost may vary and is dependent on his or
her ability, knowledge, and effort expended toward acquiring pilot
certification. Any additional training time for each lesson is not included in
the flight fees and must be paid directly to the flight school. It is the
student's responsibility to track their account balance at the flight school and
to request in advance a cost estimate for completion, if it appears that the
student will run out of money before finishing a course. This way students can
have sufficient time to procure the additional funds and prevent being grounded.
Flight course fees are subject to change without notice due to changing FAA
requirements and price changes by the Aerosim Flight Academy. For policies
involving the refund of flight course fees, see "Refunds" at end of this

Although the Financial Aid Office accepts and processes new applications on a
rolling basis throughout the academic year, it cannot guarantee that processing
will be complete for paperwork that is received after August 1 for the Fall
semester and December 1 for the Spring semester. If the Financial Aid Office is
unable to confirm a student's aid eligibility prior to the payment due date(s),
the student will be responsible for payment in full on or before the payment due
date(s) and will be reimbursed once the aid is processed.
CAMPUS DEBIT CARDCommonly called the Dolphin Card, the
JU debit card doubles as a student identification card. It may be used to pay
for campus bookstore purchases, meal plan purchases, laundry purchases and
vending machines. To activate the debit card function, students must deposit
funds to their individual debit card accounts through the Controller's Office.
Each purchase reduces the debit card balance by the amount of the purchase. For
students enrolled in one of the University's meal plans, the card is swiped for
each meal or meal equivalent and the card system automatically tracks meals
available according to the plan. Students may also use money deposited on their
debit card to purchase food at various locations around campus. The balance
remaining on the card rolls over to the next semester; however the balance of a
meal plan does not carry over.

The Casual Vacancy (original 2012; edition 2012)
by J.K. Rowling
Work details
The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling (2012)
J.K. Rowling just tries too hard with "The Casual Vacancy" to separate herself from her young adult novels. I found this book to be incredibly boring. I got about half-way through before realizing it wasn't going to get any better and deciding to set it aside.
There are a myriad of characters, introduced one after another, and I didn't find any of them likeable, memorable or interesting. Neither is the story.... I really didn't care at all who gets to fill the "casual vacancy."
I'd heard a lot of things about J.K.'s post-Potter experiment. Opinions seemed to be split. I heard critics panned it on release day, but at the end of the year, it was hitting a lot of "Best of" lists. I went into it giving a lot of benefit of the doubt. After all, this is an author who has her own theme park.
The "story" starts when a guy on a small English town's council dies suddenly. There's a vacant seat and there's a big debate who should fill it because there's going to be a vote on where to draw property lines around a ghetto part of town. Unfortunately, the main plot remains unthrust because it's more about the tons of characters and the mundane things they do. It was still kind of interesting because there are several core conflicts of teens vs. parents, rich vs. poor, and so on. It kept my interest, but nothing goes beyond arguing and suffering. My interest waned as the pages went on and on and on, and nothing happened to "change the game".
Every single detail gets expanded, every characters thought gets explained. There's too much internal dialogue and not enough external. I can see this book being appealing for fans of "Pride and Prejudice" or other long British epics where there's a lot of talking. Not even talking, but minor interactions like doctor's visits, prosaic house conversations, arguing couples, and so on.
I wish this book had started in the middle, cause there's no tangible problem until then. (I will say that it's nice to see a book that integrates Internet into the plot, you'd be surprised how many texts ignore it.) After that you see the consequences and all the exciting stuff that happens, the conflicts and revelations. Before that it's all set-up.
So to sum up, I don't think it was worth the time I spent on it. It's a milieu book, where you've got a lot of characters, but not a lot of interest.
Basically this book is a desciption of all the characters in a English town and the politics and hate that drive them all forward in their lives. there is an abundance of the f--- word so don't be deceived that Rowlings has written a book for all readers. This is definitely an adult read.
I'm changing the shelf from 'beach-reads' to 'contemporary literature' because this is truly an excellent piece of writing.
I didn't anticipate Rowling being able to so fully develop the inner lives of her characters and weave the events in their lives together so seamlessly. The characters in 'The Casual Vacancy' are close to approaching characters in a weaker John Irving novel and that man does characters like nobody's business.
This novel is thoroughly enjoyable and definitely shows that Rowling has the ability to write stories for adults that are just as compelling as the 'Harry Potter' novels were for kids (and adults).
Greatgreatgreat segue novel away from the land of magic and into real life.
(It only took me so long because I listened to it as an audiobook and it was split between two road-trips.)
What authors do after they become successful will tell you a lot about whether they're worth paying attention to. Rowling's follow-up to the biggest book series of our time is impressively un-Potter like, with ambition to be a social novel in the vein of Dickens or Eliot. And like those two she's unforgiving. It may be a little contrived in places (such as with the climactic event) but it does suggest that she might be remembered for more than Potter.
Set in the fictional village of Pagford, The Casual Vacancy at first seems to have all the trappings of the adorable-English-town novel—an updating of Jane Austen viewed through the loving lens of a Merchant Ivory production. But the book's misanthropy is more indebted to Hardy or Somerset Maugham, both known for their deep distrust of humankind and their sense of the viciousness that can spring up among neighbors.
Rowling has spoken of the sense of risk in embarking on this novel. The Harry Potter series must have been a tough act to follow. What she wanted to do here, I guess, was to seize on the world we can all see without going through Platform 9¾. She has done that to stunning effect.
This is a novel of insight and skill, deftly drawn and, at the end, cleverly pulled together. It plays to her strengths as a storyteller. That will not stop the envious from carping.
It is not the sort of book that hordes of people would choose to read if its author had not also written a far more comforting series of stratospheric bestsellers. But perhaps the world will be better for them reading it. Rowling may not be an easy woman, but she uses her powers for good.
The Casual Vacancy is a sour novel, one that seems designed to leave Rowling's biggest, most avid fans feeling as though she sort of hates them. For all its readability—I had no problem tearing through the whole thing today after buying it from a bewildered bookstore clerk at 7:30 in the morning—the book reveals that though she remains a careful observer of human foibles, Rowling the writer isn't well-served by her enforced isolation.

Rousas John Rushdoony (April 25, 1916 – February 8, 2001) was a Calvinist philosopher, historian, and theologian and is widely credited as the father of Christian Reconstructionism and an inspiration for the modern Christian homeschool movement.[3][4] His followers and critics have argued that his thought exerts considerable influence on the evangelical Christian right.[5]
Rushdoony was born in New York City, the son of recently arrived Armenian immigrants. Before his parents fled the Armenian Genocide of 1915, his ancestors had lived in a remote area near Mount Ararat.[6] There are claims that since the year 320, every generation of the Rushdoony family has produced a Christian priest or minister.[7] Rushdoony himself claimed that his ancestors "…would perpetually give a member of their family to be a priest to perform a kind of Aaronic priesthood as in the Old Testament, an hereditary priesthood. Whoever in the family felt called would become the priest. And our family did so. So from the early 300's until now there has always been someone in the ministry in the family."[8] Within weeks of arriving in America, his parents moved to Kingsburg, California, where his father founded an Armenian-speaking Presbyterian church. Except for a time when his father pastored a church in Detroit, Rushdoony grew up on the family farm in Kingsburg.
Rushdoony attended public schools where he learned English.[5] He continued his education at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a B.A. in English in 1938, a teaching credential in 1939 and an M.A. in Education in 1940. Rousas and Arda Gent married in San Francisco the week before Christmas in 1943, at the beginning of the winter college recess.
Rushdoony also later attended the Pacific School of Religion, a Congregational and Methodist seminary in Berkeley, California, from which he graduated in 1944, the same year he was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Rushdoony then served for eight and a half years with his wife Arda as missionairies to the Shoshone and Paiute Indians on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in a remote area of Nevada.[4][5][9]It was during their mission to the Native Americans that Rushdoony began writing and by 1953, the Rushdoonys left Duck Valley and Rousas took a Presbyterian Church-USA pastorate in Santa Cruz, California, a retirement town.
Rushdoony and his first wife, Arda, separated in 1957. About this time, Rushdoony transferred his church membership from the Presbyterian Church-USA to the Orthodox Presbyterian denomination. The July 15, 1958 edition of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church The Presbyterian Guardian reported that the Presbytery of California "the Rev. Rousas J. Rushdoony...was received and a new Orthodox Presbyterian Church organized, consist of a number of persons who had separated from the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. of Santa Cruz." The newsletter article goes on to report, "The Presbytery in receiving the church also examined Mr. Thomas Kirkwood and Mr. Kenneth Web as prospective elders, and they with Mr. Rushdoony were constituted the session of the church," along with a blurb announcing of the publication of Rushdoony's By What Standard? "later that year" [sic].[10]
The May 1962 edition of theThe Presbyterian Guardian listed the resignation of Rushdoony, noted as "reportedly to devote his time for his writing and lecturing."[11] Rushdoony also married his second wife, Dorothy Barbara Ross Kirkwood Rushdoony during 1962. She died in 2003.[12]
Later Career[edit]
Early writings[edit]
Rushdoony moved to Los Angeles in 1965 and founded the Chalcedon Foundation; the monthly Chalcedon Report, which Rushdoony edited, began appearing that October.[5] His daughter Sharon later married Gary North, a Christian Reconstructionist writer and economic historian. Rushdoony's biological son, the Rev. Mark R. Rushdoony, is the current president of the Chalcedon Foundation and editor of the Chalcedon Report. R. J. Rushdoony died in 2001 with his children at his side. Gary North states that Rushdoony read at least one book a day, six days a week, for fifty years of his life; underlining sentences, and making an index of its main ideas in the rear.[5]
Rushdoony began popularizing, albeit densely, the works of Calvinist philosophers Cornelius Van Til and Herman Dooyeweerd into a short survey of contemporary humanism called By What Standard?. Arguing for a Calvinist system of thought, Rushdoony dealt with subjects as broad as epistemology and cognitive metaphysics and as narrow as the psychology of religion and predestination. He wrote a book, The One And The Many: Studies in the Philosophy of Order and Ultimacy, using Van Tillian Presuppositional philosophy to critique various aspects of secular humanism. He also wrote many essays and book reviews, published in such venues as the Westminster Theological Journal.
By the early 1960s Rushdoony was active in the homeschooling movement, appearing as an expert witness to defend the rights of homeschoolers.[4]
Rushdoony's next focus was on education, especially on behalf of homeschooling, which he saw as a way to combat the intentionally secular nature of the U.S. public school system. He vigorously attacked progressive school reformers such as Horace Mann and John Dewey and argued for the dismantling of the state's influence in education in three works: Intellectual Schizophrenia (a general and concise study of education), The Messianic Character of American Education (a history and castigation of public education in the U.S.), and The Philosophy of the Christian Curriculum (a parent-oriented pedagogical statement).
Rushdoony then pursued history – of the world, of the United States, and of the church. He maintained that Calvinistic Christianity provided the intellectual roots for the American Revolution and had thus always had an influential impact in American history. The American Revolution, according to Rushdoony, was a "conservative counterrevolution" to preserve American liberties from British usurpation and it owed nothing to the Enlightenment. He further argued that the United States Constitution was a secular document in appearance only; it didn't need to establish Christianity as an official religion since the states were already Christian establishments.[4] Drawing on the work of theologian Robert Lewis Dabney, Rushdoony argued that the American Civil War "destroyed the early American Republic, which he envisioned as a decentralized Protestant feudal system and an orthodox Christian nation", Rushdoony saw the North's victory as a "defeat for Christian orthodoxy". [13] Some historians have argued that this aspect of Rushdoony's thought has influenced some activists in the Neo-Confederate movement [13] and conservative writers like J. Steven Wilkins. [14] He would further this study in his works on American ideology and historiography, This Independent Republic: Studies in the Nature and Meaning of American History and The Nature of the American System.
Christian Reconstruction[edit]
Rushdoony's most important area of writing, however, was law and politics, as expressed in his small book of popular essays Law & Liberty and discussed in much greater detail in his three-volume, 1,894-page magnum opus, The Institutes of Biblical Law. With a title modeled after Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, Rushdoony's Institutes was arguably his most influential work. In the book, he proposed that Old Testament law should be applied to modern society and that there should be a Christian theonomy, a concept developed in his colleague Greg Bahnsen's controversial tome Theonomy in Christian Ethics, which Rushdoony heartily endorsed. In the Institutes, Rushdoony supported the reinstatement of the Mosaic law's penal sanctions. Under such a system, the list of civil crimes which carried a death sentence would include homosexuality, adultery, incest, lying about one's virginity, bestiality, witchcraft, idolatry or apostasy, public blasphemy, false prophesying, kidnapping, rape, and bearing false witness in a capital case.[15] Although supporting the separation of church and state at the national level, Rushdoony understood both institutions as under the rule of God,[16] and thus he conceived secularism as posing endless false antitheses, which his massive work addresses in considerable detail. In short, he sought to cast a vision for the reconstruction of society based on Christian principles.
The book was also critical of democracy. He wrote that "the heresy of democracy has since then worked havoc in church and state ... Christianity and democracy are inevitably enemies." He elsewhere said that "Christianity is completely and radically anti-democratic; it is committed to spiritual aristocracy," and characterized democracy as "the great love of the failures and cowards of life."[7]
Rushdoony's work has been used by Dominion Theology advocates who attempt to implement a Christian theocracy, a government subject to Biblical law, especially the Torah, in the United States. Authority, behavioural boundaries, economics, penology and the like would all be governed by biblical principles in Rushdoony's vision, but he also proposed a wide system of freedom, especially in the economic sphere, and claimed Ludwig von Mises as an intellectual mentor; he called himself a Christian libertarian.[17]
Rushdoony was the founder in 1965 of the Chalcedon Foundation and the editor of its monthly magazine, the Chalcedon Report. He also published the Journal of Christian Reconstruction and was an early board member of the Rutherford Institute, founded in 1982 by John W. Whitehead. He later received an honorary Doctorate from Valley Christian University for his book, The Philosophy of the Christian Curriculum.
Rushdoony was, and remains, a controversial figure, as is the Christian Reconstructionist movement in which he was involved.
Pointing to Rushdoony's support for the death penalty, the British Centre for Science Education decried his perceived dislike of democracy and tolerance.[7] Furthermore, Rushdoony has been accused of Holocaust denial and racism.[18] According to Frank Schaeffer, Rushdoony believed that interracial marriage, which he referred to as "unequal yoking", should be made illegal.[19] He also opposed "enforced integration", referred to Southern slavery as "benevolent", and said that "some people are by nature slaves".[20] Kerwin Lee Klein, however, argues that Rushdoony was not a "biological racialist" and that for him "racism founded on modern biology simply represented another pagan revival."[21]
In The Institutes of Biblical Law he uses the 1967 work Judaism and the Vatican by Léon de Poncins as a source for Paul Rassinier's figure of 1.2 million Jewish deaths during the Holocaust, and the claim that Raul Hilberg calculated the number at 896,292, and further asserts that very many of these died of epidemics. He calls the charge of 6 million Jewish deaths "false witness" against Germany.[22][23] In 2000, Rushdoony stated concerning this passage in his Institutes "It was not my purpose to enter a debate over numbers, whether millions were killed, or tens of millions, an area which must be left to others with expertise in such matters. My point then and now is that in all such matters what the Ninth Commandment requires is the truth, not exaggeration, irrespective of the cause one seeks to serve."[24] Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary wrote in 2009 regarding the passage and Rushdoony's Holocaust denial:
His sources are atrocious, secondhand, and unverified; that he held this position speaks volumes about this appalling incompetence as a historian, and one can only speculate as to why he held the position from a moral perspective... He deals with the matter under the issue of the ninth commandment and, ironically breaches it himself in his presentation of the matter.[25]

Network World - The Android world is in a weird place, as far as version 5.0 or (supposedly) Key Lime Pie is concerned. After whiffing mightily on our confident predictions that it would be rolled out during Google I/O, we've been antsy for new information but understandably gun-shy about prognosticating.
Fortunately, however, the indomitable people over at VR-Zone have stepped up to the plate, reporting that Android 5.0 is coming in October, which will coincide with the supposed release date for the Moto X and an unnamed Nexus device.
[THAT OTHER SMARTPHONE: Will iOS 7 finally make traditional PCs irrelevant]
The other piece of information that publication reported is that Android 5.0 will be an "optimized" OS – meaning that it will run well even on older phones with as little as 512MB of RAM. (Hopefully, this will help carriers get it out the door and onto everyone's phone more quickly.)
While the fact that VR-Zone's report cites only anonymous sources – and doesn't really even give a sense of why they might be in a position to know anything, only that we're talking about "insiders" - argues strongly for not taking it as gospel, an October launch makes as much sense as anything else, I suppose.
But I'm skeptical of the Moto X release window as supporting evidence – I haven't heard anything about the X being a Nexus device, so unless Google's going to shake up the way Motorola uses its operating system, I don't really get what one thing has to do with the other.
Still, whenever it comes out, the idea of Key Lime Pie being heavily optimized for performance is a pleasing one. While the underlying Android platform itself isn't generally guilty of this, vendor skins tend to focus on adding dumb new features, regardless of the performance cost. So a move in the direction of efficient, slimmed-down code from Google is very welcome, and could help offset some of the more egregiously clunky OEM software additions.
(Hat tip: Android Guys)
Catwig has a really, really interesting teardown of Google Glass that I highly suggest you go and read.
A 640x360 screen resolution doesn't sound very impressive until you remember that it's coming from a display the size of a rice grain. "The pixels are roughly 1/8th the physical width of those on the iPhone 5's retina display," writes Catwig.
A snippy online war between Samsung fanboys and detractors, centered on the company's continued use of all-plastic designs, has seen a major shift this week with rumors that the next Galaxy flagship phone will be made of aluminum instead of polycarbonate.
According to Android Geeks, they have a – wait for it – anonymous source telling them that the Galaxy S5 will be created under a new "Design 3.0" concept at Samsung – which apparently entails metal construction.
The sniping over Samsung's devotion to plastic is often intensely childish and stupid, but, for the sake of completenes, here it is in a nutshell: The haters say all Samsung's gear "feels" cheap and low-grade because it's all plastic, and metal and glass are superior materials in every way; ;he fans say there's absolutely no difference and actually Samsung's devices "feel" better than others anyway. The fact that this is at least partially a matter of preference seems to be totally lost on both sides.

The Ruby Transitional Cluster is a limited-access test cluster to explore Intel Xeon Phi accelerators and ideas we want to consider for our next production cluster. Ruby has 8 compute nodes, each with one Phi card.
Detailed system specifications:
- 128 total cores
- 16 cores/node & 128 gigabytes of memory/node
- Intel Xeon E5 2670 CPUs
- HP SL250 Nodes
- 8 Intel Xeon Phi 5110p accelerators
- 1 TB of local disk space in '/tmp'
- FDR IB Interconnect
- Low latency
- High throughput
- High quality-of-service.
Two nodes also have NVIDIA K20X (Kepler) GPU cards (not yet available)
- Two interactive nodes, configured the same as the compute nodes, but with Intel Xeon Phi 7120a cards instead of the 5110p cards.
How to Connect
To connect to Ruby, ssh to ruby.osc.edu. Access to Ruby is limited; please contact OSC Help to request access for your research group.
We will be adding a guide to using the Phi accelerators. In order to get access to run applications in "native mode", you will have to create SSH keys, and then ssh to the accelerator. To generate the keys, execute
ssh-keygen and accept all the defaults. Then you want to copy the public key into the file "authorized_keys" in the ".ssh" folder:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
For security purposes, you want to make sure your ".ssh" folder is only readable by your user. To do this, you can execute
chmod -R 700 ~/.ssh.
The cards themselves are running linux. The Xeon Phi cards on the login hosts, ruby01 and ruby02, are available for interactive access. You can use ssh to access the cards directly, for example:
ssh mic0-ruby01
Each card is running linux and has access to nfs, so you can see files in your HPC home directory.
Batch Specifics
Refer to the documentation for our batch environment to understand how to use PBS on OSC hardware. Some specifics you will need to know to create well-formed batch scripts:
Compiling for the Xeon Phis
The intel compilers should be used for codes executing on the Xeon Phi co-processor cards.
For 'native' execution use the '-mmic' flag.
icc -mmic -O2 -o pi.exe.mic pi.cc
For 'offload' mode, you must run an intel script to setup some environment variables, then compile with the '-openmp' flag. You can determine the compiler version by looking at the path returnd by the command
which icc.
source /usr/local/intel/composer_xe_<year>_<version>/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 icc -opnemp -O2 -o pi.exe pi.cc
To control the number of threads used on the Xeon Phi cards during offload, set the environment variables as follows:
export MIC_OMP_NUM_THREADS=<number of threads>; export MIC_ENV_PREFIX=MIC
For more information on programming the Xeon Phi cards see the Intel documentation available at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/mic-developer
Using OSC Resources
For more information about how to use OSC resources, please see our guide on batch processing at OSC. For specific information about modules and file storage, please see the Batch Execution Environment page.

Designer David Trubridge answers why design?
It is not primarily to do with recyclable materials, efficient material use. To me these are the basic givens of design — any good design automatically does this by default. If not, it is not good design.

Design Education for Everyone
An amazing group of teachers just spent the week at Cooper-Hewitt, participating in our on-going City of Neighborhoods program for educators. This year, the museum invited around forty teachers from New Orleans to take part in a week-long study of how design can work in the classroom, with a focus on exploring one's local community.

Earlier this year, I was planning on a 100 mile bike ride in the morning. It was about 36 degrees when I left in the morning (see my January 21, 2012 log). About 2 hours into the ride, I was cold, but my pain was in my toes. (yes, changing subjects a little bit). I remembered that I had peanut butter and jam sandwiches in my back pocket... in zip lock bags! Jackpot! Zip lock bags!
I stopped (wiped the tears from my eyes), and ate 2 sandwiches, and put the zip lock bags over my toes before I continued on my ride. I was only about 20miles from home, and the last 1 1/4 hours were much more comfortable than the previous 2 1/2 hours.
Don't know whether zip lock bags would work for this dialogue (in fact, I doubt it would), but that's my only other contribution to this thread besides the ThermaJock....

Isn't this required by code?
Building a new house and wondering if it's a good idea to install a basement drain to get rid of water in case a pipe breaks or maybe to get rid of that backwash from a water softener. Since this is pre construction I can place the drain pipe under the footing and have it vented to outside air. The basement will have 8 foot walls and a poured 4" floor when complete.
What type of pipe should be used for this system? Since it would go directly outside and not to the septic tank do you need to have traps? (will they help in keeping critters out of the basement). Does it need to be vented?
Since construction has not started I wondering if it's worth the extra cost to put something like this in . . . .
Isn't this required by code?
If you do not do something like this, where is any spilled water going to go?
As far as I know a drain inside the basement is not required by code, my current house has a curtain drain around the footing vented to the outside, but nothing on the inside which doesn't make much sense to me . . . .

THE FONTSPEC PACKAGE ==================== The fontspec package provides an automatic and unified interface for loading fonts in LaTeX. XeTeX and LuaTeX (the latter through the luaotfload package) allows a direct interface to fonts which may be loaded by their name rather than filename, so no manual font installation is required. This package also provides access to the large number of font features available with AAT and OpenType fonts, including upper and lower case numbers, proportional and monospaced numbers, swash letters, ligature control, and many others. See the documentation `fontspec.pdf` for full information. Release versions of fontspec are available from CTAN: <http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec> Development and historical versions are available from Github: <http://github.com/wspr/fontspec> Please offer suggestions and file bug reports in the issue tracker: <http://github.com/wspr/fontspec/issues> Requirements ------------ The `fontspec` package requires an up-to-date TeX Live 2011 or MiKTeX 2.9, including the most recent version of the `l3kernel` package which provides the LaTeX3 programming interface known as `expl3`. Summary of user commands ------------------------ Font families may be selected individually with the command \fontspec[<font options>]{<font name>} Commands for selecting fonts efficiently through a document are created with \newfontfamily\myfamily[<font options>]{<font name>} \newfontface\myfont[<font options>]{<font name>} Default document fonts are selected with \setmainfont[<font options>]{<font name>} \setsansfont[<font options>]{<font name>} \setmonofont[<font options>]{<font name>} Fonts to be used in text strings in maths are defined with \setmathrm[<font options>]{<font name>} \setmathsf[<font options>]{<font name>} \setmathtt[<font options>]{<font name>} \setboldmathrm[<font options>]{<font name>} Features to be used for every subsequently defined font are specified with \defaultfontfeatures{<default font options>} \defaultfontfeatures[<font name>]{<default font options for "font name">} Features may be added to the font currently in use with \addfontfeatures{<font options to add>} \addfontfeature{<...>} does the same thing Change history -------------- - v2.3c (2013/05/20) * Compatbility with luaotfload 2013/05/20 2.2c, support for older version removed. - v2.3b (2013/05/12) * Compatibility with new (and future) version of luaotfload - v2.3a (2013/03/16) * Bug fix update to retain compatibility with new expl3 - v2.3 (2013/02/25) * Add support for per-font options in `\defaultfontfeatures` * Add support for `<fontname>.fontspec` per-font configuration files * Keep up-to-date with expl3 changes - v2.2b (2012/05/06) "TL2012 version" * Fix error with AutoFakeSlant/Bold (#113) and when used with external fonts (#128) * Add warning when using FakeBold in LuaLaTeX, where it's not supported * Fix slshape misassignment introduced in v2.2 * Allow fontspec to be loaded before \documentclass (or rather fix the regression that broke this) * Avoid using the calc package now that it's no longer loaded by expl3 * Allow multiple values to StylisticSet and Alternate font options - v2.2a (2011/09/14) * Bug fix: improve backwards compatibility for packages that use old fontspec internals such as mathspec. - v2.2 (2011/09/13) * Support alternate selections in CharacterVariant (cvxx in OpenType) using new syntax `[CharacterVariant=5:2]`. * Add `fontspec`-compatible `\oldstylenums` and `\liningnums` commands. * New programmer's function `\fontspec_set_fontface:NNnn` (for use when `\zf@basefont` might previously have been queried). * Log file output is slightly tidier. * Some old lingering bugs squashed: - Small caps font selection was broken in some cases. (Thanks Enrico Gregorio.) - Fonts loaded by filename with under-specified shapes threw an error (e.g., asking explicitly for bold but not italic). (Thanks Vafa Khalighi.) * Documentation improvements largely due to Markus Böhning. * Many internal changes, among which: - `xkeyval` package no longer used for option processing; `expl3`'s `l3keys` used instead. This allows `fontspec` to be loaded before `\documentclass` (thanks Heiko Oberdiek for reporting the issue) and fixes a potential conflict with the `preview` package (thanks again Vafa). - Internal names changed; avoid "\zf@basefont", "\zf@family", etc. from now on -- there are public interfaces now to get access to the same information - Update `expl3` support to latest CTAN version. - v2.1g (2011/08/02) * No longer uses the binhex package, avoiding some name clashes with TIPA - v2.1f (2011/02/26) * Finally add a real error message when a font cannot be found! * Add "Letters=Random" feature. * Fix bug in which "Unknown feature `'..." warnings were shown in the log file. * Some small documentation improvements. - v2.1e (2010/11/17) * Internal changes for luatexbase v0.3. - v2.1d (2010/11/07) * Bug fix when \itdefault is "sl" rather than "it". E.g., when using the "slides" class. * Minor internal changes, including merging some code from unicode-math. - v2.1c (2010/10/13) * New documentation for defining custom kerning and ligatures when using LuaLaTeX. * Fix bug when defining bold italic fonts by filename. * Avoid infinite loop when the Latin script is requested for a font that does not contain it. TODO: a suitable fallback script should be chosen; right now we just ignore the script selection. - v2.1b (2010/09/29) * Fix for bug introduced in the last release: small caps weren't being automatically selected correctly - v2.1a (2010/09/27) * Fix for colours bug introduced in the last update * Fix for for bad interaction with LuaLaTeX and fallback fonts (such as using \slshape when no slanted font specified) * Behaviour/messaging improvement when scripts/languages are requested that do not exist in the font * Fix bug with detecting font features/scripts in some cases with: - `\fontspec_if_feature:n(TF)` - `\fontspec_if_language:n(TF)` - `\fontspec_if_current_script:n(TF)` - `\fontspec_if_current_language:n(TF)` * Some messages in the log file are improved * Code for "visible space" fixed for LuaLaTeX use * Lots of internal changes to bring the implementation closer to being "native expl3". - v2.1 (2010/09/19) * Now load xunicode internally for consistent behaviour in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. * Font commands now include \fontencoding internally, easing their use together with legacy TeX fonts. * Colour & Opacity now behave a little better. * Nested emphasis with \emph now also occurs inside a "slanted" shape. * Some compatibility commands/options added that were removed. in the transition to v2. * Bug fix for a problem triggered after counters got too high. - v2.0c (2010/08/01) Bug fix and documentation tune-up. * Significant bug fix reported simultaneously by Enrico Gregorio and Don Hosek. * Many documentation improvements and additions due to David Perry. * Documentation typo thanks to John McChesney-Young - v2.0b (2010/07/14) *Actually* the final release before TeX Live 2010. * Improved examples in the documentation, with fewer proprietary fonts * All font examples are included as separate images on CTAN, so the manual can be compiled (with pdfLaTeX) by anyone, anywhere * LuaLaTeX fixes for the StylisticSet and Annotation features * New OpenType feature `CharacterVariant` now supported * Minor change: `Ligatures=Historical` is now `Ligatures=Historic` for consistency - v2.0a (2010/07/11) Final release before TeX Live 2010. * Bug fix for the Language setting being ignored * Add programmer's command `\fontspec_glyph_if_exist:NnTF` * Many documentation improvements, especially for LuaTeX features `FeatureFile=...` and `Numbers=Arabic`. * Add `Parsi` and `Persian` synonyms for `Language=Farsi` Installation ------------ If you are running TeX Live 2010, you can get the latest version of this package by running tlmgr install fontspec * * * If you wish to download the latest release version from CTAN, get the pre-built TDS package and extract it into your local texmf tree: http://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec.tds.zip * * * If you wish to use the latest development version from Github, either use git to obtain the bleeding edge version with git clone git://github.com/wspr/fontspec.git or if you don't have git you can download it from http://github.com/wspr/fontspec/zipball/master Having obtained the package from Github, run tex fontspec.dtx to extract the source then and move the necessary files into your local texmf tree. The documentation can be compiled by running pdflatex fontspec.dtx These steps are automated in the Makefile; run make install to compile the documentation and install all necessary files in your local texmf tree. Depending how your TeX distribution is configured you may then need to update the filename database with `texhash`. Test suite ---------- Towards the end of the development process of version 2, we started to add a test suite to ensure stability with any future changes. The output of each test is included in the distributed documentation file `fontspec-testsuite.pdf`. There aren't many tests yet, but we'll slowly add to them in time.

At Alveston House Hotel we are proud of our friendly staff, cosy accommodation, excellent service and outstanding cuisine.
You can see for yourself that the opinions of our guests and visitors really matter to us.
We would like to convey our deepest gratitude for helping to make our wedding day a really happy one. The day went smoothly and naturally and everyone commented on what a perfect venue it was for us. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the nature of the day which we were hoping for was achieved beautifully by yourselves and your dilligent staff. We won't hesitate to recommend your hotel to all who ask. Thank you once again.>
Mr and Mrs Alun Jenkins – 26th May 2012
We have just had our son and New daughter in law's wedding at Alveston House and we only feel it fitting that we share our views with other Bride and Grooms to-be. If you want a VERY personal feel to your wedding this is the place. The staff are fabulous – Lisa the wedding co-ordinator is outstanding, she made the day go so smoothly, the staff there can't do enough for you. The food was excellent, so if you want a beautiful wedding, where the stress of the day is taken care of by someone else with confidence then this is the place for you. We would highly recommend this beautiful Hotel. I would like to thank ALL the staff involved from greeting us at the door to saying goodby we thank you.>
Mr & Mrs Hodgson – 4th August 2012
"All in all a very welcoming place to stay, we received better service that in a 4 star hotel that we stayed at last year.">
Adrian & Sarah Tarr
"My daughter was married at this hotel and we were looked after from the time we booked in the previous day until we booked out the day after the ceremony.
There was a dedicated wedding co-ordinator who ensured all went well and helped calm the groom and bride's nerves. The rooms were very clean and a couple of single guests commented on the amount of space in their single rooms. The food was very good and received favourable comments from the groom who is a trained chef.
All in all a very welcoming place to stay, we received better service than in a 4 star hotel that we stayed at last year."
Trip Advisor – April 2011
"On behalf of all family members I would like to take the opportunity to thank all staff and management at the Alveston House Hotel for what I can only describe as Becky's father, a perfect day. From the start of the day to the call of last orders on the evening the professional standard of all staff was outstanding. Special thanks go to Lisa who was there to give guidance and appropriate advice at each stage of the ceremony,she absolutely made the day. The comments that have been past on by guests of both the wedding/reception and the evening buffet/disco reflect all that has been stated above. I cannot recommend you highly enough.">

Credit and Debt
What's New
Income-Based Repayment (IBR) for Federal Student Loans
The federal government's income-based repayment program (IBR) for student loans allows qualified borrowers to tie their monthly federal student loan payments to their discretionary income. A new version of the IBR program called "Pay As You Earn" took effect on December 21, 2012 (it was originally scheduled to be phased in during 2014, but the Obama administration took regulatory measures to make it available sooner). The potential for IBR to change the landscape for college borrowers is enormous. According to the U.S. Department of Education, as of last October, about two million borrowers had applied for IBR.

business telephone system
A system where multiple telephones are used by businesses in an interconnected fashion that allows for features like call handling and transferring, conference calling, call metering and accounting, private and shared voice message boxes, etc. A business phone system can range from just a few telephones in a small business up to a complex private branch exchange (PBX) system utilized by large businesses.
Business telephone systems can function over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and/or over the Internet (Internet telephony or VoIP). Business phone systems can also be delivered as a hosted service (typically referred to as a centrex), which can free companies from having to invest in costly equipment.

FOXPRO Electronic Game Calls
These expertly engineered masterpieces are the gold standard of predator attraction, boasting the finest features and most durable construction in the field. Get a FOXPRO today...animals lower on the food chain will thank you for it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ProveItGear The Ticket to Death I lost access to an old FX3 and wanted to save money, so I bout a less expensive brand (has fold out speakers and legs that fold down). Went out with it about 10 times and had to ask myself why I pack it around as I called in no predators and am confident I can make better sounds with my mouth and or a diaphragm. The sounds sounded like they were recorede in a bathroom stall with a man making the noise. Sent it back and spent twice as much on the FoxPro Fury 2 and could not have been happier. Whenever I buy second best, I end up with the best eventually, so it saves money to buy the best to begin with. The sounds fox pro has is what really make it worth the price. They are actual animals and the player plays them loud and clear. My average is a coyote coming in about 50% of the time, at least. I bow hunt them, so my success rate is under 10%, but what can you expect. If you can afford a fox pro, then this is what you should buy. If you are on a budget, then save up to buy the low end fox pro, as these may not be quite as loud, but they use the same exact sounds as the high end models. Most "made in china" value priced calls use man made mouth calls and not the real thing. If you are calling to educated predators, you will have a hard time using anything but the real deal. Good luck March 18, 2013

Consider this face wash your skincare workhorse. It removes dirt, surface oil, and impurities without overdrying, protects against environmental damage, and reinvigorates tired, stressed-out skin. All in a day's work.
I really enjoy this face wash. It's not harsh and gives me that really clean feeling. It doesn't dry out my skin and feels very refreshing. It's becoming something one of my favorite face washes.
I love this face wash. It is very invigorating. The tinlging feeling feels great. The wash leaves my skin feelig cool and ready for the day
this is a great face wash. cool and refreshing without drying your skin out. I love all the kheils products.
It leaves a fresh feeling, exactly what I need in my early mornings. I will continue to buy it until I find a better face wash which I highly doubt I will.
A lot of facewashes either dry my face out or don't actually clean it.
I use this first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed. My face feels great and has never been cleaner.
This is a great product. You feel great after using it, and a small amount goes a long way. Would highly recommend this.
This is NOW my go to face wash.
I feel like it went by too fast in the birchbox so ordering more was a must.
For a product that advertises it as "fuel" you wouldn't expect it to do it nothing... it does not remove oil and i would say not worth the price. if you looking for a good product check out Erno Laszlo!
Just a nickel size amount is enough to get the job done and leaves my face feeling cleansed and refreshed. I was actually sad when the trial ran out on this product today, and this will, very likely, be the first purchase I make from the store!
This is one of my favorite items I've ever discovered in a Birchbox. Its perfect for a fresh up before going out or washing up without having to go home from the office.

2395 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9003934.099973 -118.259573
Neighborhoods: Silver Lake, East LA
An array of different wines from around the globe, with a knowledgable staff that will guide you to a bottle perfect for you.
Best boutique wine store in LA – It's not the biggest selection of wine. That honor probably goes to the Wine House. But it's all hand-selected, and the guys (and gal) who work there know what they are doing. One of them used to be the sommelier at Campanile! The level of customer service is great. They really work with your tastes and price range to find something right. I like that the table by the door is all under $15, and the rest is organized by region. There are also some nice premium wines as well. They are expanding to be a little bigger and will soon carry hard liqour as well. They do really nice tastings throughout the week. It's a good way to meet people.
Great wine shop with friendly staff. Tasting events here are really fun and a great way to find out about some new wines. Prices are totally reasonable and they have some nice spirits to choose from too.
Head in Monday, Thursday or Sunday for a $12 and three wine flight at a spot that very fairly calls itself the "Best Wine Store in LA"
great wine, great people – silver lake wine is a fantastic find in this area! the wine admirers they employ do not hesitate to answer any question, and they pour without pretensiousness. for this reason, they are quite busy on monday nights but rest assured, they have also expanded their bar to include more space for the masses. during the afternoons when they aren't throwing the best wine tasting around, they still offer informative help that will help you find the best wine for your dinner - probably one you can't find anywhere else but one that is so delicious you wish it could pour out of a faucet. a definite must for anyone!!
The best wine store on the Eastside – This is a brilliant store. All the staff are both passionate and enthusiastic and take delight in digging out unusual and exceptional wines. They're not distracted by old-world label snobberry or new-world fruit bomb cults, and as are happpy selling you an interesting $15 speanish red as a small allocation napa cabernet. Refreshing, informative and unpretentious with a constantly changing selection they're doing great business and deserve to thrive. If you know loads or nothing about wine, this is the best place to go in LA.
these folks know their stuff! – i happened upon this shop by accident. the staff answered all of my dumb questions, gave me recommendations and made me feel welcome. bonus points for remembering me on subsequent visits.
the sunday tastings are out of this world. start with a sparkling wine and move on to the heavy hitters paired with tasty foods. the folks at SLW know what they're doing and have a passion for bringing good wine to los angeles. cheers!
A great wine store for non-snobs – Their enthusiasm for discovering underappreciated and underpriced wines is infectious. The staff couldn't be more helpful and more accessible, and you'll come out with a fifteen dollar bottle of wine that rocks. I look forward to running out of wine because it's so much fun to go exploring in SLW. They're not salesmen, they're wine advocates.
Sleek wine shop with a boutique selection owned by Campanile's wine team. – In Short
Stenciled wine bottles and a trio of wooden tables house this neighborhood shop's ever-changing artisanal collection, which is handpicked by Campanile wine director and James Beard Award nominee George Cosette and his partners. Serious collectors procure pricier selections alongside scruffy Spaceland denizens seeking bottles from the less-than-$15 table by the door. A small wine bar is the scene of weekly themed events, and the unpretentious atmosphere makes even novices feel welcome.
