Wiki Tip of the Moment
In an effort to make people more knowledgeable about the many features of this Wiki, I've decided it would be a good thing to have a Tip of the Moment on the front page. People should change this tip once in a while. Make sure to archive the tip in VOCWiki:Tip at the same time as you place it on the front page. Possible future tips :
- Advantages of creating an account
- How to upload a photo
Lots more I'm sure, but I've got to run to TA now!
Chris Michalak 16:36, 29 Mar 2004 (EST)
The wiki tip of the moment stuff has gone mostly unused. It may just be clutering the front page. Perhaps some of you keen Wikiers (Champagne, Webster?) can make a decision on if we want to keep it. If so, perhaps you could come up with some tips to populate it. At this point you guys know more about this stuff than I do. If not, feel free to just take it off.
Chris Michalak 01:16, 13 October 2006 (MDT)
I do like the wiki tip of the moment feature - perhaps we can rotate through some of the old ones if there's nothing new to add. New members who are also new to the wiki don't have the benefit of having been exposed to all the old tips. I'm going to update it with a new tip on using Categories

Uploading Files
Chris, I want to upload some Brew Hut autocad files, but uploading to the wiki seems to be disabled. Help!
Scott Nelson 01:01, 4 Feb 2005 (EST)
There is a security vulnerability in the upload handling of the mediawiki version we are using. In fact, this got exploited by a script-kiddy back in December. Therefore I've disabled uploads until I get around to upgrading the wiki software. I guess I should get on that...
I'm not sure if we want to upload files other than images (viewable in a web browser : png,jpg,gif). I can certainly see the usefulness of the autocad files, but where do we draw the line? People may start upload some MS-Office files, full of virii and so on... Therefore, it may be best to not place the autocad files here. If you like I can place them in the "Misc Docs" portion of the static webpage. Just send them to me.
Chris Michalak 02:07, 4 Feb 2005 (EST)
Uploading images should now work again, since we've updated the Wiki software. Also note that you can do all sorts of fancy things with images. For example, you can place a thumbnail in the page with a subtitle that links to the full image. You don't need to generate the thumbnail yourself. It all happens automagically. For an example, have a look at New Brew Trail. As always, have a look at Wikipedia for other advanced formating tricks (they run the same software we do).

Tips Page
The main page is starting to get a bit cluttered, so I thought it might be nice to roll a few things together into a page called tips. This would eliminate a few links from the main page in order to streamline it in the same way we streamline trip ideas. This page would have links to things like gear ideas, recipes, photography tips and ski Maintenance. Also, on the idea of decluttering the main page we could move the Constitution link off the main page into the Executive area.
Scott Nelson 15:08, 25 September 2006 (MDT)
I definately think it is a good idea to keep the main page uncluttered, but I think that people other than the executive might want to read the constitution, and they might not know to find it under executive. Scott Webster 12:06, 6 October 2006 (MDT)
I've just finished adding a bunch of Templates for creating column text. Only the Col-begin, Col-break and Col-end work (you don't end anything else anyway). An example can be seen hereTemplate:Col-break -Christian Champagne(talk) 17:51, 12 october 2006 (PST)
Is there any way we can customize the Navigation bar of the left side? Many of the links don't go anywhere - Community portal, Donations. Current Events links to the Trip Agenda by a redirect, but it would be nice to have simply "Trip Agenda" on the menu. Other popular general pages like Huts and Gear rental could go on this navigation bar instead.
Scott Nelson 12:51, 13 October 2006 (MDT)
- Good Question. I don't know at the moment. I'll will check it out but Chris must know. Champagne 12:58, 13 October 2006 (MDT)
Yeah, I'm sure I can figure out how to change it. I don't think it's something that can be done through the Wiki interface. It's probably some template file I need to edit. So... What do we want on the bar:
- Main Page
- Trip Agenda
- Recent changes
- Random page
- Help
Anything more/less?
Chris Michalak 15:26, 13 October 2006 (MDT)
I was going to update the sidebar, but I don't have permissions. You need to edit MediaWiki:Sidebar. Instructions here. Scott Webster 17:33, 13 October 2006 (MDT)
VOC History
I can't find any history of the VOC either on the wiki or main page. Maybe we should have one? I don't even know when the VOC was founded, nor can I find that information easily. Maybe I'm blind. There is a History of VOC huts page at least. Scott Webster 18:18, 23 October 2006 (MDT)
- Unfortunately, we can't copy and paste Roland onto the wiki. Champagne 18:36, 23 October 2006 (MDT)
- Have a look here. Maybe someone should wikify the old VOC Handbook? Scott Nelson
- Woh, didn't even know that was in the wiki. Do we still have an non-digital version hanging in the clubroom somewhere ? Champagne 22:11, 23 October 2006 (MDT)
VOC Handbook
As Scott was saying, we should definitely wikify the handbook. I'm guessing that it was created before we had the wiki ? So, should be copy and paste onto a new wiki page and/or paste it into their respective section of the wiki ? Champagne 08:59, 24 October 2006 (MDT)
- I was thinking that we should update the handbook, and having it on the wiki would certainly make it easier for people to update.... but I guess it might not be so "official" if everyone was changing it. I think it would be a good idea though. We could copy it back over to the main site once it is fully up to date. Scott Webster 09:57, 24 October 2006 (MDT)
- Should we lock the editing to a few people then (Admins and a select few) ? I'm sure Chris could arrange something of sort. If anyone wants to update the page or comment about it, they can post their request on the discussion section. What do you think ? Champagne 10:12, 24 October 2006 (MDT)
- No, I don't really think we should lock it. Even the constitution isn't locked. People should realize this sort of thing though, hopefully VOCers 10 years from now don't just take the constitution off the wiki and assume that it is totally correct without checking, since it is probably some sort of legal document. Scott Webster 10:34, 24 October 2006 (MDT)
- Should we lock the editing to a few people then (Admins and a select few) ? I'm sure Chris could arrange something of sort. If anyone wants to update the page or comment about it, they can post their request on the discussion section. What do you think ? Champagne 10:12, 24 October 2006 (MDT)
Main page columns broken in Safari
The main page doesn't show up properly for me at home (Safari 2.0.4). The left column is extra wide, and the right one is off the screen. Scott Webster 10:26, 26 October 2006 (MDT)
- Did it work with the old main page or is it just a problem with the new one? (You can pull up old versions of the main page with on the History tab.) How about the wikipediea main page that I think Christian based this main page on? Scott Nelson 11:40, 26 October 2006 (MDT)
- When I was building the new page, I had some problems with the columns. It didn't want to properly fit the page. Originally for Wikipedia, the 2 columns together had width="100%" with width="55%" and width="45%" for each column. I was trying to center both for 50/50 but each time, the right column shrank to about half of the 50% planned. After many frustating tries, i just went with width="170%" (I believe?) and it worked out.
- I'm guessing the 170% width is why the columns appears off the screen. I'll have to got and try again to fix it (I thought that I fix the damn thing!) Champagne 12:13, 26 October 2006 (MDT)
- Seems fixed now, thanks. Scott Webster 20:30, 26 October 2006 (MDT)
I'm trying hard to like the new main page, but I don't. I think it might be the colours. Scott Nelson 19:13, 27 October 2006 (MDT)
I don't like the "light cyan" colour for the "Welcome to the VOC Wiki!" I think the others are ok. Scott Webster 19:10, 29 October 2006 (MST)\
- I took the colours off Wikipedia's main page, except for the "Welcome to the VOC Wiki!" box. I can't find a good colour for it. You can change it with an Hex Code colour palate in the code i.e. #FFFFFF for white(?). Champagne 23:33, 29 October 2006 (MST)
- The color is specified as Red Green Blue intensity levels (ranging from 00-FF). For a more visual approach, you can use this java applet to pick a colour and get the code for it.
- Personally, the colours don't offend me. But I'm really a functional kind of guy, so I'm pretty indifferent about these aesthetics issues. Chris Michalak 13:33, 30 October 2006 (MST)
- Well, it has a more halloween-y feel now! :) Scott Webster 14:03, 30 October 2006 (MST)
- Very Flashy ! Champagne 14:18, 30 October 2006 (MST)
- Please make the orange go away. It scares me. Dan E 12:15, 1 November 2006 (MST)
- I made it obnoxious orange on purpose to encourage people to change it. Please try to find a better colour. You can use the page that Chris linked to above to choose a colour, then edit the main page. The orange is the colour "FFB413" on the first line... change that. Scott Webster 13:51, 1 November 2006 (MST)
- HTML named colours also work. Intead of "#FFB413" put a colour name like "red" See here for colour references Scott Nelson 15:47, 1 November 2006 (MST)
- So, do you like the look of the page now? Did you like the old one? I didn't like or dislike it really... it was just plain. I think this new page is an improvement. Scott Webster 16:42, 1 November 2006 (MST)
Trip: Namespace
What do people think about putting all the temporary trip organization pages into their own namespace? This would allow for easier maintainance in the future - for example system admins could delete articles in the Trip namespace that have not been updated for over 1 year. Recurring trips like Longhike still get their own page that would not be in the Trip namespace. Here is an example: Trip:Brew Hut March 1-2 2006. now I'm not sure if this can actually be done. See here. Scott Nelson 19:32, 5 December 2006 (MST)
- Sounds like a good idea, but as you seem to have noticed, you didn't actually create a namespace called "Trip" yet. I think Chris has to edit some file to do that with our version of mediawiki. I'm not sure if this matters though, maybe we should just "pretend," using the Trip: prefix, and then later when they add the namespace manager we can convert it to a real namespace or something. Scott Webster 21:38, 5 December 2006 (MST)
- Ok, the instructions on how to hack the code to add namespaces are here. I can do this. My concern is that regular non-geek members will not create new pages in this namespace but continue placing them in the regular name space. Also, the definition of "recuring" trips is a bit vague. Some things are recuring to various degrees (let's say the annualish Needle Peak trip, where does that go?). But yeah, maybe it's a good idea, I can't decide. Chris Michalak 11:23, 6 December 2006 (MST)
- Looks like new versions of wikimedia software now support custom namespaces without any sort of hack - just modifying the configuration files. As for the recurring trip argument, it seems that most recurring trips now get 2 pages (i.e. Glacier school which has all the long lived info and Glacier School 2007 which has all the organizational stuff in it. Scott Nelson 14:18, 14 September 2007 (PDT)
I finally came up with a somewhat compelling reason to do this - when looking at the wiki "what's new" page, there are a lot of edits. Nearly all of them are people signing up for trips. However, it would be nice to be able to filter these out to see edits to non-trip pages, because the noise of trip sign up edits tends to hide edits to the wiki core pages. On the special:recent change page there is an option that allows you to exclude certain name spaces. If there was a trip namespace, you could exclude it in order to see all the non-trip changes to the wiki. Scott Nelson 18:58, 18 October 2007 (PDT)
- I say we just do it. If the message board can be reorganized, certainly the wiki can too... I guess "we" = Chris :) Scott Webster 23:22, 18 October 2007 (PDT)
On a somewhat unrelated note, recently a couple people have "signed up" for trips that have already occurred. Apparently they didn't read the date correctly, but perhaps once an event has passed we could add some sort of high-vis template box at the top that indicates it is a past trip or something. Scott Webster 16:00, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
- Done. See template:Trip date. Now we just have to get trip organizers to use it. Scott Nelson 11:33, 22 October 2007 (PDT).
- Cool! I guess it could be an idea to make the template display something, such as the trip date, or time remaining before trip, before it actually happens... this might make people realize they should use it more, because adding a template to a page that does nothing when you add it might seem odd. But people like "us" could always add it whenever, even after the trip is over for clarity. Scott Webster 16:30, 22 October 2007 (PDT)
Anyone had any more recent thoughts on this? The exec has been discussing various record-keeping measures recently. If we decide to make the new namespace and organize things better on the wiki it would be nice if we could easily search through the old trips. Maybe even just being able to sort by date. This could possibly work if we had a standardized title? Eg: Trip:Name_standard-date-format or something. Maybe the date embedded in the tripdate template would be good enough somehow. Scott Webster 14:12, 15 December 2007 (PST)
New Links
I'm not sure the new links roland put up on the main page are all for the better. Do we really need a link to the club constitution from the front page? Also I think the titles are excessively descriptive and clutter the front page too much. There are now two links to annual club events. I think it's worth keeping the links to the Membership faq, but personally I would revert all the other changes. Changes to important pages (like this one, the main page) should probably be proposed and discussed on the talk page first. Scott Nelson 18:33, 16 September 2009 (PDT)

As our kids head back to school this week {can I get a big Whoop! Whoop?!} I have been thinking a lot about our teachers and how absolutely grateful we are for everything that they do. Every day is a good day to give our teachers a gift of appreciation. With just a few supplies, that are often found around the house, you can make one of these super cute Apple Block Teacher Gifts!
Begin by finding a wooden alphabet block or two. I picked these up at the thrift store but dig through the kids toy boxes and you may have a few laying around.
Paint the blocks red. I used acrylic paint and a varathane gloss sealer.
Cut leaves out of green card stock.
Use a stylus embossing tool to embellish the leaves.
Attach two leaves to the top of a block with a green thumb tack and you are done!
Simply adorable.
Do you have any super cute teacher gift ideas? Please share!

When Charlie Porter showed up in the Yosemite Valley in the early 1970s and started forging new climbing routes up the famously imposing monolithic rock wall known as El Capitan, he was something of a mystery man, a stranger to the clubby group of mostly Californians who had made Yosemite the center of the climbing world.
He was from the East somewhere — Massachusetts, it turned out — and he had not grown up in the sport the way just about every other accomplished climber had, but his skills seemed otherworldly.
In 1972, he and another climber, Gary Bocarde, established the Shield, which became perhaps the most famous route up El Capitan. That same year, he made the first recorded ascent of the overhanging southeast face of the El Capitan wall, doing it solo, and named the route the Zodiac. In 1973, he scaled the southeast face again by a different route with different challenges, calling it Tangerine Trip, and by the summer of 1974 had established two other paths, Mescalito and Grape Race.
These were world-class feats of mountaineering, but if Mr. Porter, who died at 63 on Feb. 23 in Punta Arenas, Chile, was a mystery then, in many ways he remained one.
A reticent man who was not one to trumpet his achievements and who often set off into the wild by himself without so much as a camera or a notebook, he was, in Yosemite, only beginning an adventuresome life that took him to some of the world's remotest places.
Among them were Mount Asgard, on Baffin Island in northern Canada, which he climbed solo in 1975, and Cape Horn, the tip of South America, around which he paddled a kayak in 1979, becoming one of a handful of people to navigate the dangerous Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica.
"I remember when I asked him about it, and he said just: 'Oh, it was a piece of cake. It was a calm day,' " his half-brother, Barnaby, said in an interview.
Duane Raleigh, the editor in chief of Rock and Ice, a climbing and mountaineering magazine, called Mr. Porter "probably one of the great adventurers of the 20th century."
"You'd be hard pressed to find someone so hard core, who would roll the dice like Charlie Porter," Mr. Raleigh said.
On the trip to Baffin Island, Mr. Raleigh said, Mr. Porter, with no phone or radio, "walked 100 miles himself, across glaciers, carrying all his stuff, soloed this enormous wall for nine days, got to the top in a storm." Coming out, he said, Mr. Porter ran out of food and had to walk to safety for 10 days on frostbitten feet.
A self-taught boat captain and boat builder — as he was a self-taught climber — Mr. Porter devoted himself to scientific work in the far south of the Western Hemisphere for his last 20 years or so.
He made botanical and oceanographic surveys of the South American coastline, guiding visiting scientists through the maze of Chilean fjords and channels in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. In recent years, he helped conduct climatological studies — setting up weather stations and glacier monitoring networks — in affiliation with the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine.
Barnaby Porter, who lives in Walpole, Me., said in confirming his half-brother's death that Mr. Porter had had a heart attack at his home in Puerto Williams, Chile, on Beagle Channel near Cape Horn.
"He always claimed he had the southernmost house in the Western Hemisphere," Mr. Porter said.
Charles Talbot Porter, called Talby by his family, was born on June 12, 1950, in Nashua, N.H., across the state border from Pepperell, Mass., where he grew up. His father, also named Charles, was the town doctor; his mother, Barbara Cooney, was a children's book author who wrote and illustrated the book "Miss Rumphius."
Young Charlie, according to his brother, was a bit of a loner who would become absorbed in eccentric projects; he once built a wind tunnel to test his model gliders. He played football, hockey and baseball as a boy and did some rowing in high school. He never graduated from college, though his brother said he might have taken classes at Boston University and M.I.T. His interest in mountaineering, Barnaby Porter said, was catalyzed when he led the rescue of students stranded in Huntington Ravine on Mount Washington.
Mr. Porter, who lived part of the year in a house he built for his mother in the late 1970s in Walpole, was married and divorced three times. In addition to his half-brother, he is survived by a sister, Phoebe, and a half-sister, Gretel.
Barnaby Porter said that as a boat builder, his brother once made a 32-foot steel sailboat, starting with a bare steel hull that he had trucked to his parents' house in Massachusetts. He worked on it in their driveway. Then, with no sailing experience besides a few practice runs out of Salem and essentially teaching himself as he went, he took the boat from Maine down the East Coast, into the Gulf of Mexico, through the Panama Canal and down the Pacific Coast of South America to Chile.
In 2010, Mr. Porter captained a boat from the Falkland Islands to a remote speck in the mid-South Atlantic, Tristan da Cunha, ferrying Swedish scientists doing climate research; the return journey to Uruguay took 33 days through rough seas. The leader of that expedition, Svante Bjorck, a geologist at Lund University, was on his way to southern Chile last month to work with Mr. Porter again — this time on a project to measure the region's sea level history — when news of Mr. Porter's death reached him.
"The presence of Charlie here is so obvious that he has been in my mind throughout the expedition," Mr. Bjorck wrote in an email from the Beagle Channel. "His enthusiasm and inspiration has been vital. I think we will now be able to reconstruct details about the sea level history here that is completely new for this region, Charlie's favorite place on earth. So we will, of course, dedicate these studies to Charlie and the memory of him."

Q: What are the new California ammunition laws?
A: Beginning January 1, 2018, all ammunition sales must occur in face-to-face transactions (no online ammunition sales in California) and the seller needs a valid Ammunition Vendor License in order to sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any 30-day period.
Ammunition in California
California has recently enacted new laws regarding ammunition sales due to the passing of their Proposition 63. As you can see in the Q&A above, there are two major changes to the way ammunition is treated in California:
- Ammunition sales in California must occur in face-to-face transactions, and
- Certain sellers of ammunition in California need an Ammunition Vendor License.
This is obviously bad for gun rights and our industry.
There's no more online ammunition sales in California and now certain California ammunition sellers (that sell more than 500 rounds a month) need to apply for an additional license!
To make matters even worse, California is already having problems figuring out how to accept and process applications and issue California ammunition vendor permits.
However, if you're already a Gun Dealer in California (or you've been thinking about becoming one by becoming an FFL) there's a little bit good news:
California Licensed Firearm Dealers (FFLs) are automatically considered Licensed Ammunition Vendors!
Licensed Ammunition Vendor
Due to Prop 63, if you'd like to sell over 500 rounds of ammunition a month in California, you've got two options:
- Apply for a California Ammunition Vendor License, or
- Get your FFL and become a California Gun Dealer
Ok, we're a bit biased but we think that the best option is to get an FFL!
As mentioned above, gun dealers in California are automatically deemed California Ammunition Vendors. This means you can sell ammunition in California AND you can purchase guns at a discount, have them delivered right to you, and make money selling guns.
To be clear, there are a few states that require that you jump through some extra hoops to be a gun dealer – California is one of them! In our Get Your FFL guide, we detail the extra steps necessary to be a gun dealer in California.
Processing Ammunition Sales in California
As is all too common for the absolutely broken (inept) California government/bureaucracy, the state hasn't even figured out/made it clear how to process ammunition transactions! We'll update this page with more info as we have it.
1/1/18 – It is unclear what paperwork (if any) a licensed ammunition vendor or FFL must complete for sales, what the fee (if any) might be, how (if) to charge tax on 3rd party transfers, etc. All we know it this point is that an ammunition vendors license is needed in California (unless you're an FFL). Also, for those that have applied for licenses, they haven;t been issued yet.
From the California Bureau of Firearms:
Beginning January 1, 2018, a valid ammunition vendor license is required for any person, firm, corporation, or other business enterprise to sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any 30-day period. (See California Penal Code section 30342.) The Department of Justice is authorized to issue the license, which is valid for a period of one year. Providing the requirements are met, a licensed firearm dealer is automatically deemed a licensed ammunition vendor. All other vendors must apply for, and receive, the annual license before selling ammunition. If an application is denied, the Department will inform the applicant of the reason for the denial in writing. (See California Penal Code section 30385.)
In accordance with these provisions, the Department has received and processed more than 225 applications for ammunition vendor licenses since July 2017. The Department expects to issue a license electronically, upon approval of its regulations.

Safari Planning Made Simple.
Safari planning is not a straight forward endeavor due the myriad sources of information. Often these sources are conflicting, and with a wide variety of prices it is difficult to compare tour options. We have tried to simplify this process by creating a travel planner to provide the most accurate information, clearly stating our tour prices (what we include and what we don't) so that consumers can clearly see the value of our travel products.

It's a great thing to know that the people you work for have got your back. Especially when it comes to things such as health benefits and insurance, or bonuses for holidays or outstanding work. Some companies, however, go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of their employees or communities. Here's my top 5…
5) Nike
Nike has had its trouble in the past and many were shocked to find out how their shoes were made overseas and the poor conditions of the workers that made them for next to nothing in the way of compensation. As I'm sure we all know, however, they were not close to the only ones. Many companies still do today. But Nike has made a complete turnaround. The company is now very transparent with its practices and has come to be the #1 ranked company for its relationship with employees. They now have some of the best fair pay practices and parental benefits. In addition to this they have benefits for employees who have an ill relative. Nike has also made strides in environmental friendliness in the way of sustainability and have developed a public "restricted substance" list.
4) Symantec
Based in Mountain View California, Symantec is highly acclaimed by both customers and employees. With exceptional employee
training programs, and other goals geared toward workforce equality,
it's really no wonder they made the list. They also are tied for first place in
community relations. Looking to ensure a diverse workforce Symantec has
announced a goal of increasing its number of female employees by %15 by 2020.
3) Salesforce
Salesforce is a world leader in providing equal pay across all demographics and employee benefits. They offer their employees to accrue an unlimited amount of vacation time. In 2016 Salesforce spent 3 million dollars to ensure that their employees were paid equal and fair wages. Salesforce als gives their employees one week of paid volunteer work. Last year their employees logged over 17,000 hours volunteering. They also promise to match any donation to a charitable cause up to $5,000
2) Cisco
Cisco is the undisputed leader in environmentally friendly practices. All of their
products (down to the packaging) are environmentally friendly, and they recycle 99% of all disassembled products.Cisco is an industry leader for employee pay, safety and how they handle grievances and layoffs. They also have a very strict policy of refusing to deal with any company who mistreats its employees.
1) Intel
….And the winner is Intel, hands down! Intel is strides ahead of most corporations inalmost every way when it comes to employee satisfaction and compensation. With virtually equal pay across demographics, refusal to work with companies or governments who oppress their employees/citizens, and 75% sustainability these guys know how to deliver compensation. They are also ranked first in five out of the six categories for community relations. They even prioritize raw materials from local sources first.
If you work for any one of these companies the odd are that you're very happy with your job. These five companies know the secret behind keeping good employees is keeping good employees happy. We appreciate the strides these companies have made and hope that they eventually become standard. If you made the list or even if you didn't and your company is good to their employees, thank you, for treating your employees with dignity and respect.

text: Leonard "Rappo" Trimble (portrayed by Ian Tracey) was a patient at a Veterans Administration hospital, having become a quadruple amputee during the Gulf War. The deeply embittered Trimble resented having lost his limbs, and blamed the Army chain of command for his injuries and those of his fellow crippled veterans. Having garnered the ability to use astral projection, he proceeded to murder the families of a lieutenant-colonel and a general, but rendered those victims incapable of committing suicide so that they could feel the horror and helplessness Trimble had suffered. Trimble was finally stopped as he was using his astral body to attack Mulder, when the lieutenant-colonel smothered him with a pillow. No evidence linked Trimble to the deaths, and his family requested that he be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He was instead cremated and buried in a civilian cemetery in Pennsylvania.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences is a five-star condominium property in Sarasota, Florida, that is one of the standards that other luxury condos are measured by in the area as it ably banners the supreme elegance of a world-famous hotel franchise.
Located at 35 Watergate Drive in a posh city section near the downtown district, this condominium consists of 130 units. Fifty of these are at the upper floors of the local Ritz-Carlton hotel while the rest are housed at the Ritz-Carlton Towers.
This property presents a wide range of residential options to suit varying lifestyles. Browsing through a realtor's listing of Ritz-Carlton homes for sale can show choices from among units from one up to four bedrooms, all exquisitely built with stylish layouts and designs.
The asking prices for the one-bedroom condos can start at six figures, and the mark can hit the $5 million level for a penthouse offering. Ritz-Carlton condos for sale having one bedroom and about 1,400 square feet of floor space can carry a tag price in the high $700s. A two-bedroom residence with a floor area of around 2,700 square feet can be offered for $1.2 million. The price point for a three-bedroom home with a floor plan of nearly 5,000 square feet can hover around $2.7 million.
This condominium community resonates with gorgeous amenities that are the rule of thumb for deluxe hotels. Among them are superb twenty-four hour concierge and butler services, facilities for fine dining, a theater and a modern fitness facility, a spa and guest suites. Additionally, the condo residents who opted to avail of these amenities gain access to the Ritz Carlton golf course in the prestigious Lakewood Ranch as well as to a private beach resort at the nearby barrier island of Lido Key.
Like the gorgeous bayfront panorama that the Ritz-Carlton instantly affords, it takes no time at all for those residing in the condo to immerse into the easy-going Sarasota lifestyle. The condominium, for instance, is only a few blocks away from iconic centers of arts and culture such as the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and the Florida Studio Theater.
Chic shoppers from among the condo residents will have a fill of choices at St. Armands Circle just across the Ringling Bridge near their community.

Okay, this is "sew" easy. If you have an old t-shirt, a pair of scissors and can stitch a straight line, you can make this!!
Step 1 – Select a t-shirt you want to convert into a bag. I used a few that the moths had helped themselves to.
Step 2 – Cut along the front of the collar's edge. Then cut along each arm hole on the inside (the shirt side) of the original seam.
Step 3 – Turn the tee inside out and run a straight hem across the bottom leaving about an inch or so. If you need to trim along the bottom of the shirt before sewing the bottom of the bag you can do so.
Step 4 – Turn right side out and embellish as desired. You could really go all out at this stage of the project. I made these for my girls. I added an asymmetric foam flower to Emily's and a contrasting bow using grosgrain ribbon to add a little pizazz to one of the handles of Elaina's t-shirt tote.

While you might think stocking up on antihistamines is the cure, air filtration might be just what the doctor ordered. No matter if it's ragweed, pollen, dust or pet dander, you shouldn't have to fight for fresh air in your own home. The team at Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing have the answer that will work for you and your home comfort needs. With Lennox®, air filtration exceeds the filter you're changing regularly. Our Healthy Climate Air Cleaners give you a whole-home solution to battle allergens. If anyone in your home is suffering from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems, our air filtration system removes at least 95% of allergy-aggravating particles from your home's air, which will help you breathe easy. Your conventional air filter is the first line of defense in the war against indoor air quality issues. There are many different filter options out there, but the experts at Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing recommend using filtration down to 0.3 microns which are used in hospitals. We know there are many indoor air quality products out there to select from to help combat indoor allergens. The pros at Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing will work with you to figure out which system will be best for your home and your budget. We look forward to working with you to make your home as comfortable as possible. We recognize how annoying seasonal allergies can be, especially in Bakersfield, and we know the positive impact that an air filtration system can have on both your health and your comfort. When it's time to get serious about indoor air quality and battle those allergies full-force, give Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing a call at 661-437-3499. Back To Blog

Question about using music in a film
Question from Kacpar Królak:
I got a question. If I buy one of your present/future tracks. May I use them in one of my movies? "Under cover of darkness" suits well to my idea for a vampire movie :-)Answer from Bjorn Lynne:
Hi Kacper,
You can buy my tracks in two different ways:
You can buy my tracks cheap like $1 per track or less, from places like CDBaby.com, iTunes, Payplay.fm etc. You pay very little for the track, but the track is then only for personal listening. The same is the case if you buy one of my CD's for around $12 etc.
The other way you can buy my music is to buy it from www.Shockwave-Sound.com. Here you pay a lot more per track (about $15-30 for one music track), and here you are buying a license for using the music in media and in-public. So you get to download the music, and you also get the legal rights to use the track in your movie, or whatever other media you want.
So... the answer is yes. If you buy my music from www.Shockwave-Sound.com you can use the music in a movie etc. But if you buy it very cheap from some place like iTunes.com etc., then you can only use the music for personal listening.
Of course, I very much appreciate ALL support I get from people who buy my music, whether it's from iTunes, Shockwave-Sound.com, my own personal CD-shop, or anywhere else.
- Bjorn

Hah! I successfully got winamp to take over my ipod! I never really use it that much.
Well, I have an adapter in my car and leave it there pretty much all of the time.
Damn Apple cult. I have a shuffle that I hardly ever use either. I'm looking at it right now. Apple cult trying to take over.
I watched Big Bang Theory tonight. Sheldon had an iphone. He was using it to make a video call. Made me want one, then I remembered the cult membership requirements and resisted.
They won't get me! NEVER!

Finding a natural or renewable fuel source might not be at the top of your list. But odds are, finding a reliable and efficient fuel source is. That's where our wood pellet stoves come in—they have the traditional look and feel of woodburning stoves, with a more environmentally friendly function. Whether you're in the market for a smaller unit for your garage or an insert to replace your current fireplace profile, a wood pellet stove can provide the perfect heating alternative. They burn pellets made from byproducts of sawmills and manufacturing plants. For you, that means minimal emissions and clean-burning, long-lasting fuel.
When your space demands serious heat, demand a stove that can deliver. With a massive BTU output and largest in-class room air fan, the Eclipse-P makes short work of heating your home. The Eclipse-P combines the powerful performance you need with smart, durable ST Croix design.
Eclipse-P complies with the 2020 Particulate Emmissions standards using pellet fuel. ASTM E2779-2010 / ASTM E2515-2011 1.562 g/hr

Some quick thoughts about the happenings around the Red Universe:
***Interesting story about Marty Brennaman needing additional security for the return trip to Wrigley Field. Last time through, Brennaman earned the ire of the Cub fans with the following statement after fans in the bleachers threw baseballs back onto the field following an Adam Dunn homerun: "This is what makes you want to see this Chicago Cubs team lose. The most obnoxious fans in baseball, in this league, are those who follow this team right here."
Marty's always classy and objective style earned him so many additional "fans" that he has been assigned a security detail while in Chicago. However, Brennaman didn't seem too worried, simply saying that if "they want a piece of me, they know where they can find me." Yes, we know where to find you, Marty, standing right behind your security detail.
***While this season is quickly becoming another season to forget, there is a glimmer of hope in sight, as the Reds have the potential for a truly dominant bullpen in 2009. The signing of Coco Cordero gave the Reds the shutdown closer they have been lacking and the emergence of Jared Burton gives them a dominant setup man. Those two make for a mighty fine 1-2 punch, but in 2009 it is very likely that Josh Roenicke will be ready to step in and contribute.
The three power arms of Cordero, Burton, and Roenicke could give the Reds the best bullpen in the NL, especially when you factor in Billy Bray and maybe Pedro Viola. The troika of Cordero, Burton, and Roenicke could give the Reds the nastiest bullpen they have had since the Nasty Boys roamed the earth.
***The NL Central has gotten a lot tougher over the past few days, as an arms race has broken out. The Brewers pulled the trigger on a trade to acquire C.C. Sabathia and the Cubs responded by trading for Rich Harden. Sabathia earned his first win tonight for the BrewCrew, but may end up being nothing more than a half-season rental for the Brewers, who have clearly made the decision to go for it.
Interestingly enough, one of the players who the A's got in return was Matt Murton, who is a player that interests me a great deal. Murton is solid offensive player and a tremendous defensive outfielder. The A's have had a great deal of success despite a tremendous amount of player turnover, which is attributable in no small part to their consistently strong defense. Back in the days of Moneyball, the A's consisted of a team of ice wagons, but lately they have focused on fielding great defensive ballclubs and it has paid off.
Murton seems like a player who is very likely to continue that trend, as he is an elite defensive leftfielder. I would have loved to see what Murton could do for the Reds as part of a new 2009 outfield, but hopefully he'll get a chance to shine in Oakland.
While it is regrettable that the Reds couldn't reel in Matt Murton, at the very least, it's nice to see the National League acquire two of the American League's elite starting pitchers.
***It will be interesting to see how having two elite arms off the trade market affects the Reds' ability to trade Bronson Arroyo. It may be a tough sell, as Arroyo has struggled and is set to become more expensive in 2009, but the supply is already dwindling which can only help the Reds. The Phillies are rumored to be interested, so maybe we can take Jayson Werth off of their hands.
***It's odd to see three of the NL's best sluggers so slow out of the gate. Prince Fielder, Ryan Howard, and Adam Dunn have all had their difficulties in the early going, but all three have too much talent to be down for long.
***While I remain very skeptical about Jerry Hairston Jr.'s reemergence, it's difficult to ignore his stellar line drive percentage of 31.5%. That is truly an astounding clip and while it isn't likely to be sustainable, if he can keep it a couple of ticks above 20% then he may well be worth a look in 2009.
Still, I have serious questions about JHJ. You really don't need to look much past his home/road splits to see why. At home, JHJ has a line of .448/.495/.644/1.138, while on the road he has a line of .232/.273/.305/.578.
It looks like JHJ is just the most recent in a long line of veterans (i.e. Joe Randa, Rich Aurilia, David Ross, etc) to find a brief resurgence in the Great American Ballpark Fountain of Youth. Still, he's a rather poor bet for 2009.
***The word from the grapevine is that first round draft pick Yonder Alonso is going to be a tough sign. There are rumors floating around that he is asking for a signing bonus in the neighborhood of $8M. However, if true, it's clear that he needs a big bite of a reality sandwich. The #1 pick Tim Beckham reportedly signed with the Tampa Bay Rays for only $6.15M and #12 overall pick Jemile Weeks just signed for $1.91M.
It's difficult to imagine that the #7 pick warrants an $8M signing bonus, given the market has been established. Yonder has a bit of leverage in that he is a college junior, so he could conceivably return to Miami for his senior year, but it's unlikely that he'll choose to do so. The 2009 draft class is deeper, so the odds of Yonder being drafted higher than #7 are unlikely, so by returning to college he risks not only injury, but also sliding down the draft and getting less money for a signing bonus.
The smart money says that Yonder will be signed before the August 15th deadline. If not, then the Reds will get the 8th pick in the 2009 draft as compensation.

Japanese politics and foreign policy; the international politics of the Asia-Pacific; culture and identity in international relations theory; domestic politics/international politics nexus; security studies; U.S. foreign policy.
Current research projects
- Japan's evolving security agenda: to what extent is Japan "normalizing"? what are the political dynamics of security policy under the Abe administration? what will be the effect on the US-Japan alliance and Japan's regional relations?
- Prospects for and obstacles to China-Japan-US trilateral security cooperation: how do theories of international cooperation apply to the contemporary international and regional order?
- Other topics I am reading about/interested in include continued movement toward intelligence reform in Japan and the United States, the strengthened foreign policymaking roles of the prime ministers of advanced industrial democracies (such as the U.K, Germany, and Japan), and the evolving security architecture and coordination in East Asia and beyond.

A few years ago we offered SmartLaw: expert insights for the future of law. As expected, the legal industry has continued to evolve and so must SmartLaw in order to equip firms for the future.
We still believe the original SmartLaw key concepts of clients, culture and technology are essential to successful firms, but we now must also include data and process as key differentiators moving forward.
To explore the new future of law, we posed the following question experts from across the legal industry:
"What do lawyers and law firms need to do to prepare for the future of legal services?"
Offering advice that manages to be both practical and philosophical, their answers are as thoughtful and colorful as they are diverse. In the ebook the experts pose questions and frame scenarios that will help you consider how to best embrace change and prepare for the future of law.

Side note: I just realized that Mondays are holidays or field trips for us this year so the Monday 2.5 hour lab group will miss a lot of time compared to the other class. For example, this week one class gets twice the time as the other =O That'll be fun since both classes will cover the same information. I might talk to beam about changing up the schedule to make some of that up. To make it fair between the classes.
Homework for Week 1

Just in time for (virtual) gift giving, Apple has just (and with the usual lack of fanfare) turned back on the ability to gift apps through the iOS App Store
Mark over at 9to5Mac spotted the return and noticed that you can send gifts up to 90 days in the future. Great for if you're giving an iPad to someone and want to pre-load it with great apps, but don't want to spoil the surprise.
Finding the gift giving action is a little tricky. You have to tap the "do more stuff" icon (where you'd tweet or mail a link to the app) where you'll see the gift box icon. Mark kindly made an image showing you how it works:
Simple as that.
Now that we can give gifts via our devices again, what would be the first app you'd gift to someone (remember free apps don't count)?

Impatiens capensis is a common sight around Maine, found on the edges of wetlands and forests and on the shores of rivers, lakes and swamps. Often called jewelweed, the plant is also known as spotted touch-me-not because of the tendency of the ripe seed pod to pop open with a touch. A most excellent thing to keep in mind is its potential use if one should get into a patch of itch-inducing plants. According to Go Botany,"juice from the crushed stem is said to alleviate the symptoms of poison ivy and stinging nettle. This is due to the binding action of the chemical lawsone." It also has been used "to treat athletes foot. Scientific data confirm the fungicidal qualities," according to Wildflower.org. That does make it a jewel of a weed.
Wild Wednesday is a collaboration of Garden Maine and Glen Mittelhauser of the nonprofit Maine Natural History Observatory, www.mainenaturalhistory.org.

Commentary & Analysis
L. A. Marzulli
Coming to you from an undisclosed location deep in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains!
Can you imagine if this had been done to Barak Hussein Obummer? We would have a national crisis on our hands. The person responsible would be publicly eviscerated, keel-hauled by the liberal press. Cries of Racist and Ku-Klux-Klan would be shouted from CNN, the Washington Post and other fair and balanced news outlets.
Griffen apologized shortly after the picture was released, saying she had gone to far. I would posit that the only reason she did this was because of the backlash she received. However, her little stunt reflects her core values, who she really is. Griffen insults people for a living and like most liberals she is pro-abortion, open borders, a proponents of gay marriage and above all hates our president Donald J. Trump.
What is alarming to me is that she's mimicking ISIS which, as Russ Dizdar would say, right out of Hell's Kitchen. What motivates someone to pull a stunt like this? This represents Griffen's core values, or perhaps I should say a lack of core values.
This is the natural man on steroids and I'll leave it this Bible verse to fully explain the supernatural dynamic that I believe is at play here.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God (2 Timothy 3: 1-4)
I think the above verse describes Griffen perfectly. I hope she investigated by the secret service. I hope charges are brought against her. With Griffen's disgusting stunt we've reached a new low…

The town is a compact collection of straight narrow streets where traditional architecture sits side-by-side some of the more modern edifices. The top of the town is where the large main central plaza is overlooked proudly by the local church. Wander down the surrounding streets, packed with a mixture of intriguing small shops, cafes and tapas bars and then cross over the main road and head down Avenida del Marques del Duero towards the newly renovated wide beachfront promenade.

This is where you will find the keep-fit fanatics, either jogging or on bikes, rollerblades and skateboards. Join the meandering people watchers and those out for an evening stroll or have a go on one of the exercise machines before taking a dip in the azure blue Mediterranean waters before sauntering up to a chiringuito, beach bar, or one of the smarter beach clubs for a bite to eat and a siesta.

Although several new apartment developments have popped up around the broad, palm lined avenues, these tend to be holiday homes populated only during the summer months and they have little impact on the town itself. The weekly street market is held on Thursday mornings near the central plaza from 9.00 am – 2.00 pm and the annual Feria takes place from 14th – 19th October
Just a few minutes away from the natural beauty of the Sierra de Ronda mountains, the town conveys a more tranquil experience that attracts people looking to buy a property close to the buzz of Marbella but away from the maddening crowds and featuring everything that encapsulates living on the Costa del Sol. It does, in fact, offer the best of both worlds whether you are looking for that traditional Spanish experience or the facilities of a holiday resort.
