Welcome to Cuba
Casa particular (Spanish for "private house"; plural casas particulares) is a phrase meaning private accommodation or private homestays in Cuba, very similar to bed and breakfast although it can also take the form of vacation rental. When the meaning is clear the term is often shortened to simply casa.
A casa particular is basically a private family establishment that provides paid lodging, usually on a short-term basis. In general under this term you can find full apartment and houses, rooms inside people homes, mini-apartments or rooms with separate entrance (studio or efficiency type rooms).
Casas particulares can be recognised by a small sign on the door, with two blue triangles ('roofs') against a white background, which the owners obtain after paying a fixed per-room annual tax.
Casas particulares have several advantages over other types of lodgings: Guests can quickly develop genuine Cuban relationships and become deeply involved in the culture of the country also they will enjoy a free and easy atmosphere, feel at home in the casa particular and will be able to invite friends over.
In 1997, when the Cuban government allowed Cubans to rent out rooms in their houses or apartments to tourists, providing Cuban families with new sources of income. As any other type of accommodation in Cuba such as hotels, camping and motels were owned by the government, the term "casa particular" stated that this kind of paid lodging was privately operated.
Casas keep some similarity to Bed & Breakfast, where breakfast is usually included in the price, although you should ask first.

Bob Koshinski, vice president and general manager of WBBZ-TV, has announced "The Fred Jackson Show" will welcome Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel to the show tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Eastern Hills Mall studio. Koshinski is co-host of the program alongside Bills running back Fred Jackson.
Manuel will talk about the Bills 24-23 win against the Carolina at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday.
Fans cheered during the final minutes of the fourth quarter when an eight-play, 80-yard drive was capped when Manuel connected with Stevie Johnson for a two-yard touchdown pass on a fade with two seconds remaining for a dramatic 24-23 win over the Panthers.
Jackson and Johnson made critical plays on the final drive to keep the sticks moving, while also deftly getting out of bounds to stop the clock.
In an emotional moment captured by Buffalo News photographer James P. McCoy, Manuel went over to the fan section where his dad was watching the game, and embraced him after the win.
The program will re-air tonight at 11 p.m., and tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Jackson and Manuel will breakdown the game against the Panthers. Members of the studio audience, made up of area high school football teams, will play the "Hotshot Football Challenge" with them and compete for prizes.
WBBZ is seen throughout Western New York. For more information, call 716-630-9229 or visit www.wbbz.tv.

Drought causes flower prices to rise
Drought causes flower prices to rise
BENTONVILLE, Ark. —
It's no secret the drought affected the Christmas tree crop, so florists say it shouldn't surprise you to find out flowers were also affected.
Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are two big holidays where flowers are in high demand, and this year, you'll definitely pay more.
"Everything is being affected by the drought," said Kimberly George, Florist with Northwest Arkansas Florist. "Prices do go up for the holiday in general, but we're seeing a smaller increase because of the weather."
George adds, you'll likely spend even more if you wait until the last minute to buy.

Get ready for Fools' Rules Regatta
The 33rd annual Fools' Rules Regatta will be held Saturday, Aug. 14, on the Town Beach at East Ferry. The event is sponsored by the Jamestown Yacht Club.
Entrants are allowed two hours to construct a sailing craft on the beach, and these "vessels" must be constructed of non-marine items. The cannon will be fired at 9 a.m. to begin construction of the "vessels." The craft may be pre-constructed, but must be disassembled and built again on the beach.
Races begin at 11a.m. with the firing of the cannon to begin the Class 1 race.
Vessels compete for first, second and third place in each class. Classes are determined by the number of participants on each vessel – one, two, three, four and five or more (unlimited class).
Coveted awards of the day include the Karl Smith Most Ingenious Design, Worst Example of Naval Architecture and the Frank Newman Judges' Award.
Although the highlight of the regatta is often the unlimited class – whose vessels range from 15 to more than 40 feet in length and are crewed by as many as a dozen or more fools – the Class 1 participants, who in the past have included one child in a sandbox propelled by an umbrella, are often equally as engaging.
The event attracts regional attention – past regattas have been highlighted in Yankee Magazine and National Geographic's World magazine. This year's event will again be featured in Rhode Island Monthly magazine.
The event is open to anyone who likes to have fun and be foolish, and there is no entry fee.
This year's chairman will again be Chris Powell, chief fool.
Call 423-1492, or visit www. jyc.org for information.
Rain date will be the following day.

Celebrate the life of American jazz musician Hiriam Bullock by leaving your memories and photos.
Hiram was playing with David Sanborn in 1977 when I met him in Pittsburgh, PA. At the time I was in college and living with a diverse group of people in a commune in the city. One of my roommates was a CMU musical piano/saxophone prodigy who was a good friend of Hiram. Hiram came over before his gig at the Leona Theatre one afternoon and I was playing chess with several buddies. Hiram sat and watched a game or so and then we played several games. He gave me tickets to the show that night and following the show he came back over and we played chess well into the early hours of the next morning. He was an amazing fellow; intelligent, competitive, friendly, compassionate, and a tremendous talent. I saw played chess with him on several other occasions when he stopped in Pittsburgh until we lost touch sometime in the early 80's and I didn't realize that he had passed on until several years after his death. Those were some good time way back then and I often listen to his music and reminiscence. He is gone but certainly not forgotten; I considered him a friend.

I first saw Hiram Bullock during my first trip to NYC in May 87. He was to play in a small club of upper West Side, with Darryl Jones, Mitch Forman and Charley Drayton. We had to wait 2 hours past the scheduled beginning (they must have been working in studio), but when they finally came, they rocked the house, one of the best gig i've ever seen, everybody went crazy in the audience, as they played more than 2h30 hours... Later i played Window Shoppin and Cactus on the french Riviera with a friend, and From All Sides has stayed for more than 10 years in my car... one of the 10 records of my life... Thanks for All, Hiram...

I went to music collage in the 80's and had heard that David Sanborn would come to Oslo, the city I lived in. I saved up the money for the ticket and went with a good friend. Already in the first song, I got a tremendous kick due Hiram Bullocks guitar.
He lay down and played "Blue Monk" with one hand and ran out into the hall and played the guitar solo as I had never before heard or seen. As a guitar student, it was a great inspiration.
Personally, I like what he did early in his career best. Rest in peace, dear musician colleague

Mike Levine is a great pianist and keyboard player out of Miami. In the fall of 1981 he and reeds man Billy Ross were finishing up the second Ross-Levine Band album at a small studio in Coral Gables. The band had a great lineup including Jeff Carswell on bass and Steve Rucker (now head of the University of Miami percussion department) on drums but no permanent guitar player.
I was working at said studio as the assistant engineer, my first job out of college, when one day Mike announced.that Hiram Bullock would be coming down from New York to lay down the guitar tracks! Mike and Hiram were friends and classmates at the U of M in the glory days of the early 70's when Metheny, Jaco, et. al. were beginning to change the face of jazz as we knew it. All of us at the studio were thrilled. Though he had yet to land the Letterman gig, we all knew of him from his session work with artists like Steely Dan and Billy Joel.
I can't overstate what a generous act of friendship this was on Hiram's part. The studio bought his round-trip plane ticket and the rental of a Ford Escort for a week but as far as I know he received no pay at all for the sessions. This for a man who probably got double or triple scale in New York at the time. And yes, I said a week. He was at the studio three or four hours a day playing on every track of the album.
Though we had a good sounding room this was kind of a low budget studio. We didn't even have a guitar amp for Hiram to plug into when he showed up with his original Frankenstein guitar with the humbucker between the single coils and his digital delay. We did have an old Fender Bassman; Tony the engineer rolled it into the half-finished lobby, stuck a Sennheiser 421 in front of it, ran a long guitar cable under the control room door and we rolled tape while Hiram sat behind the board and wailed. The Bassman actually gave the tracks a warm, mellow sound that complimented Hiram's playing quite well.
Of course as you might have guessed, Hiram didn't only put down beautiful parts but he showed himself to be a beautiful person too. He was always happy and cheerful, always willing to do one more take, always giving each pass his all. I remember one time he was screaming a solo on the most rock and roll track on the record when he leaned too far back in the office chair, the chair slid out from under him and he fell flat on his back on the control room floor but kept on playing without missing a note! We kept that track on the record.
In between takes Hiram would talk about his experiences in music, living in New York, sports, current events, just about everything. He struck me as an especially intelligent, well spoken and well rounded individual as well as an awesome musician. He treated everyone with respect and consideration and was a good listener, both to music and to people. Before leaving town he threw a party at a friend's house and invited everyone to come. It was a great ending to an unforgettable week.
Fifteen years later when I first got on the internet I came across Hiram's web site and the "Bullockian Lounge", his chat room. Not expecting a reply, I sent him a message with recollections of those sessions. He responded warmly, said he remembered me and that he had a lot of fun that week in Miami. Once again I was touched by his love and humanity.
I'm sorry to say I hadn't been following his career lately, When I googled his name last week to see what he'd been up to and found out he had passed on I felt like I'd lost an old friend. It was nice to read all the good memories so many people have of Hiram. His spirit will surely live on in our hearts and in his great recordings.

Chuck, I can't believe I found this! This is Liz. I was with Hiram that week in Miami. Hiram and I had met a couple of months before, but this was our first trip together so it was very memorable for me. I have many photos of that week. And "Green Tuna" was one of my favorite albums Hiram played on. I still have the original cassette of it (though I recently digitized it as I liked it so much). Whatever happened to it? Was it ever released? Anyway, Hiram and I were married a year or so after that and often spoke of that trip to Miami. We remembered it fondly. (And OMG I do remember him falling backwards off the chair!) We were married for a few years, but remained friends for life. Nice to share good memories....

My Memories of Hiram...
How he touched one life...
I was a 13 year young Bass Player when I came across a Band at "Parkville Teen Center" in Baltimore, Maryland called "Cabbage" with a New Bass Player....it was HIRAM! He was the most cool Bassist I had ever seen and heard!
After they were done playing I asked the Bass Player (Hiram) if I could play his Bass (like I always did back then.) He invited me onstage...handed me his Gibson Bass...an EB-0 or and EB-3...
Then he had one of those Faux Leather curved packs with Wine in it and offered me a drink ( I think I turned it down...)
A year or so later....Hiram was the Lead Guitarist in a Baltimore Band that my friends Father...Roy Gunther, managed.
The Band was called "FELIX" and they were amazing. Especially with Hiram on lead guitar. I had never heard that style of Jazz Fusion Guitar yet...even though this was in the early 70's.
One day he and the Rhythm Guitarist popped in the house from the rehearsal garage to put on "Layla" so that they could pick up some more details of it.
Later, Hiram had gone to the University Of Miami and had become even more of a Monster...I didn't know this until I saw him with David Sanborn.
During one of Hiram's solo Guitar spots where he walked all over the Arena via his Wireless...In a Quiet Moment I Yelled Out...
He paused and looked down at me and said for all to hear...
We met up after the show and he gave me his contact info.
I sent him a demo of my Bass Playing and he called me on my 30th Birthday and said "Dave...it's Hiram....the Tape sounds Great...You Can Play!!!"
Most people just blow you off and never even check out your tape or give you any encouragement...
"Hiram Did!!!"
Nobody plays, sings, and yes...Danced like Hiram.
I miss him being with us in this life!
God Bless You Hiram!

I remember Hiram as a big part of the NY fusion (I hate the word, too) guitar scene of the early '80's and when he would drop in at the UM campus in Miami. He could plug-in to a P-O-S set up and make it sound phenomenal. The man personified music. Loved to watch him play.

The defense of the Las Lomas High football team dominated in front of a lively home crowd Friday night, helping the Knights claim a 31-14 Diablo Foothill Athletic League victory over Dublin.
"Tonight was a special night," Las Lomas coach Doug Longero said. "They did a good job on homecoming to play that well, it's exciting."
Las Lomas (3-4, 2-1 DFAL) set the tone early by forcing a fumble on the second play from scrimmage. It was just a precursor of things to come for both sides.
The Knights' Adam Wood hit 16 for 21 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns and had a 2-yard scoring run with 7:56 left in the third quarter to give his team a 24-0 lead.
Kyle Hill (18 carries, 70 yards and a touchdown), Brayton Milner (six catches, 59 yards and a touchdown) and Ricky Ow (115 yards from scrimmage) also had big games for the Knights.
Dublin (4-3, 2-1) didn't record a first down until the fourth quarter, as it lost star running back Ondre Rudolph to an apparent leg injury near the end of the first quarter. He needed assistance from the field.
The Gaels blocked a kick, and Josh Yu returned it 70 yards for a touchdown, and quarterback Miguel Arroyo had a 1-yard keeper for a score to account for Dublin's points.
Miramonte 21, Acalanes 14: Looking to avoid three straight losses to open their DFAL season, the Matadors picked up a big road win to get back on track, as the Dons' comeback attempt fell short.
"We know we're fighting for our playoff lives, and we know our backs are against the wall," Miramonte coach Jack Schram said. "We have to come out and play tough every game, and our defense came out and played tremendous in the first half."
Miramonte (3-4, 1-2 DFAL) used the ground game to build a 14-0 halftime lead, scoring touchdowns early in the first and second quarter, a 7-yarder from Conor Bruen and a 3-yard run by Nick Sheehan.
But it was a big passing play midway through the third that provided enough cushion. Facing third down from the shadow of their goal posts, Marshall Deutz took a short pass from Sheehan and turned it into a 90-yard scoring pass and a 21-0 lead.
Deutz finished with five catches for 164 yards.
Acalanes (4-2, 1-2 DFAL) made a charge late in the third quarter when Deshawn Johnson, who ran for 171 yards, scored from 10 yards to make it 21-7.
The Dons were threatening to score a few minutes later, but an interception at the goal line by Ray Clark ended the threat.
— Matt Smith, correspondent
Alhambra 47, Dougherty Valley 21: The host Bulldogs had 571 yards of offense to earn their first DFAL victory of the season.
Alhambra (2-4, 1-1 DFAL) benefited from the big play all night as it scored five touchdowns of 50 or more yards.
Taylor Poyadue was a standout for the Bulldogs, rushing for 123 yards and two scores. He also caught three passes for 98 yards, including a 78-yard touchdown from Josh Evans.
Dougherty Valley (0-6, 0-2) jumped out to a 7-0 lead just over a minute into the game after an Alhambra fumble, as Lanre Adelekan scored on a 1-yard run. But the Bulldogs would go on the score the next 40 points. Maalec Thomas broke free for a 78-yard touchdown run, and shortly after, Harits Abdurroman added an equally impressive 65-yard rushing score.
Bulldogs quarterback Leo Costa completed 6 of 10 passes for 98 yards and two scores.

And so, the idiocy in the mobile industry continues. Motorola has just upped the ante in this already ridiculous spider web of lawsuits by suing the pants off Apple. Eighteen patents are involved, most of which seem to be actual hardware patents, but that doesn't make some of them any less obvious (apparently, you can patent the location of your antenna). Anywho, like Nokia, Motorola claims that Apple is unwilling to license Motorola's patents, and as such, suing was the only option.

MIDDLEBURY — A lot of first jobs after college aren't exactly glamorous. Barista. Retail sales. Or the two most depressing words to a 22-year-old's ear — unpaid internship.
"Creator of software startup with the potential to corner a gigantic, untapped market of consumers" is not a job listing likely to be found on Craigslist (if it is, don't click on it; it's probably spam).

Years ago I told you some stories of several remarkable people. They were Laurens Countians. All of them lived to be more than one hundred years old. All of them were black, and all of them had been slaves. Here are more stories of former slaves. But, I will also tell you about some more remarkable people. Although they never had to endure the shackles of slavery, they did face their share of challenges.
"Sis Crecy" was born Lucretia Neil between the two Briar Creeks up in Warren County, Georgia on March 10, 1866. Her parents, who belonged to the Edwards family before the Civil War, moved to Laurens County, where they were told the living was better. Crecy came along too as a grown woman at the age of 26.
Before she came to Laurens County, "Sis Crecy" picked and chopped cotton all day long during pickin' time and worked wherever she could when there was no cotton in the fields. She began to teach, first in Warren and Glascock counties. When she retired, Lucretia's teaching career had spanned more than fifty years.
Widowed at the age of 75, Mrs. James Hill did her own work around the house. She cooked, washed, cleaned, cut firewood and sewed her own clothes.
Rarely ill, "Sis Crecy" despised doctors and hospitals. She put her trust in the Lord. "My motto is do the right thing, live right and trust the Lord," Mrs. Hill maintained.
Her friends and family threw her a big party to celebrate her 100th birthday. They had to wait a few weeks later to celebrate because the guest of honor was too busy - still sewing, working in her Pinckney Street home and attending services at Wabash Street Church of God, which was most of the time. Oh, by the way, "Sis Crecy" was still playing her piano at the age of 102. Lucretia Hill passed into Heaven on August 3, 1968 and was buried in Dudley Memorial Cemetery in Dublin.
Just down the street lived the Rev. J. R. Roberson. Pastor Roberson was born in Hancock County, Georgia on March 31, 1875. During his five and half decades in the ministry, Rev. Roberson served 17 churches. He never quite officially retired and preached the Gospel as long as he could speak. Although he never had much schooling, Roberson learned about life in the church, out in the cotton fields, and in the loving home of his aunt and uncle, who raised him to follow the Lord. At the age of 101, Rev. Roberson went to the polls and cast his ballot.
It was about 1949 when Rev. Roberson and his wife moved to Laurens County. She died about three years later. Roberson married again, this time to his beloved Ardella. Long living ran in Roberson's family. His older sister lived to more than 106 years old. In the later summer of 1978, the Rev. J.W. Roberson died. He was buried in Dudley Memorial Cemetery in Dublin.
Aunt Daisy Wilson claimed that she was born in 1804, two years before Laurens County was created. According to the Macon Telegraph, there were white people who stated that she had authentic records showing that she was 117 years old in the summer of 1922. Daisy was born into slavery in North Carolina and purchased by John Manson, who brought her to Wilkinson County. She lived there well beyond her 100th birthday. If her claim could be substantiated, Daisy Wilson may have been the oldest woman in Laurens County history and one of the oldest in the State of Georgia.
Thomas Allen maintained that he was born in 1800 and was 114 years old just before he died on the plantation of Dr. W.B. Taylor, outside of Dexter, Georgia. Owned by the Giles family, the former slave was a native of Wilkinson County. Although his age cannot be documented by census records, Dr. Taylor, who knew the old man for many years, did not doubt the accuracy of his claims.
Jane Smith believed she was born in September 1812. Mrs. Smith told everyone she had been a slave of John Chapman on his farm at Kewanee, between Dudley and Dexter. Not surprisingly, the Atlanta Constitution reported that at the age of 107, Mrs. Smith was "unable to sit up much."
Andrew Isler, whose age has been confirmed by census records, was born in 1813, although he claimed to have been born three years earlier. Isler married his wife Phebe in Laurens County in 1850. The Islers lived in the Bailey District of Laurens County. Isler, who had been a slave of D.F. Scarborough, had an older brother, who reportedly died at the age of 105. It was said that all of his family lived to be very old. Isler died in 1913.
Uncle Hampton Powers died in 1907. Folks said he was 102 years old. Powers once belonged to Governor George M. Troup. Uncle Hampton's funeral at Robinson's Chapel Church was attended a large crowd of both black and white mourners.
By far the oldest documented Laurens Countian was Hester Hubbard. Although she was only known to herself as "Aunt Hester," her name appears as Hester Hubbard in the 1920 Census of Coffee County, Georgia. Born near Dublin in spring of 1799, "Aunt Hester," by the beginning of the Civil War, was already a grandmother. She died at the census documented age of 120 in October 1920 in her home near Nichols in Coffee County, Georgia.
If Hester's age could be documented, her death at the age of 120 would easily eclipse
that of Gertrude Baines, who died last year at the age of 115 and who, according to Wikipedia, is the oldest Georgian ever. Her age would even exceed Jack Robinson, who died in 1872 in Laurens County at the census corroborated age of 118. Her ten dozen birthdays would also make her the oldest person in the history of the United States and the third oldest in the history of the world.
There are others who claim to have lived longer than Aunt Hester. Take James Walter Wilson, of Vidalia, for example. Wilson, according to both Time and Life magazines, died at the age of 120 years and seven months. When the news of Wilson's advance age began to appear in the papers, "Uncle Mark" Thrash wanted everyone to know the he was 122 years old and even had a twin brother who was still alive in 1942. It may be noted that an early census record put Thrasher's age at a mere 112 years.
Authentic dates of birth, especially in the early 1800s, are difficult, if not impossible, to verify. But, let's just say that Aunt Hester and these remarkable people lived long, long lives, perhaps through good genes, hard work, good eating and maybe, just maybe, by the grace of God.

The world's biggest economies will soon discuss how to punish countries that fail to implement tougher new bank rules in a crucial test of their resolve to prevent another financial crisis, officials said.
Countries that miss the deadline for introducing new rules -- called Basel III -- could be named and shamed as the world's top policy makers try to sew up reforms to ring-fence the global economy from problems at financial institutions.
Continue Reading Below
The new rules will force banks to roughly triple the size of capital buffers they hold so they don't come calling for taxpayer bailouts the next time they are in trouble. They are scheduled to be phased in over six years starting in January.
But the United States and Europe, home to most of the world's largest banks, have not yet finalized their rules, prompting speculation that the timetable may be postponed.
Juan Manuel Valle, head of banking supervision at Mexico's finance ministry, said before a meeting of Group of 20 finance chiefs that no country had suggested a delay but any that failed to meet the deadline would face pressure from their peers and could be publicly named as "non-compliant".
"The G20 is going to be put to the test. What is it going to do with countries that don't comply?" Valle told Reuters in an interview.
"For the ones that don't have regulations in place in January, the question will be, what kind of punishment will they face?" he said. "Clearly, there's going to be a lot of pressure for some measures to be taken against them."
Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan told Reuters that foot-dragging by some countries was "a matter of concern".
"It is important that we do see these rules applied in the way in which they are supposed to be applied," he said.
The Financial Stability Board, the G20's regulatory task force chaired by Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, will track each country's progress next year. Carney has said his preference is to "name and shame" the delinquents.
G20 policy makers will get a progress report from the FSB on steps taken so far to ensure that the world's biggest banks do not come calling for fresh taxpayer bailouts.
In addition to Basel, a deadline is also looming on the drafting of rules to reduce risks in the $650 trillion derivatives market for the end of the year.
The G20 agreed in 2009 that derivatives like interest rate swaps and credit default swaps should be traded on electronic platforms, centrally cleared and recorded.
But uncertainty over how the new rules will mesh together globally and cross-border spats has held back progress. Partial implementation in some countries only could drain liquidity from some markets, experts say.
The FSB is due to release a report at the G20 outlining each member countries' commitment on how they will perform central clearing, which could reduce some of that uncertainty.
Two years after the G20 agreed on Basel III rules, they have come under withering criticism by U.S. and British regulators as overly complex while banks say they will crimp lending and further delay economic recovery.
With Europe still in crisis, some officials acknowledge that the schedule might be too ambitious.
Valle said he would be flexible if he were in charge, conceding that the Basel timeline may have been "exaggerated."
Jose Angel Gurria, head of the head of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development agreed that the slump in bank loans had eased concerns over timely implementation.
"People are saying well this is too important to stick to a decision that we took no matter what because the circumstances under which we took that decision have change," he said on Saturday, noting the decline in lending.
Under the rules, all banks will have to hold a capital buffer of at least 7 percent. But G20 leaders have already agreed that the world's top banks - including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank - should face more intensive scrutiny and hold higher levels of core capital.
European banks are farther from the target than their U.S. counterparts. Banks in France and Germany, the two biggest euro zone countries, have ratios of top quality capital to risk-weighted assets of more than 11 percent but others have much lower ratios, according to the International Monetary Fund. The ratio in the U.S. stands at 13.4 percent.
"We can concede that (American banks) aren't ready on an administrative level, but if they (the rules) are ready tomorrow, the banks can comply the day after tomorrow. That is not the case in Europe," Valle said.

I would like to calibrate my understanding of the Book module/blurb with respect to color managementAfter reviewing this forum and the blurb site this is what I understand:1. Send Book to Blurb converts the images to sRGB, the "preferred RGB" color space for blurb.2. Soft proofing should be done in sRGB rather than using the blurb color profile, which is probably not that reliable for different printer/papers.3. There is no way to in LR to select another workspaceDid I get that right?
So it's a totally silly color management 'workflow'
Hmmm..... So is there a POD service for photobooks that does not have a silly process that you would recommend?
Yes and so now you can just about forget soft proofing.
Not my experience.Whilst there may not be a full and perfect proofing standard to work to with Blurb, soft proofing to sRGB will highlight any serious issues and prevent a lot of surprises.
An sRGB 0,0,0 won't seamlessly match with a 'Black' applied as a page background in CMYK, so dark images might not melt into the page as expected.
Well based on the years I've used color management, and based on my understanding, that doesn't make sense
If anything in this thread doesn't make sense it's your earlier comment "you can just about forget soft proofing".
If Blurb ask for sRGB images, what reason is there not to soft proof to that colourspace ?
According to blurb, sRGB is the "preferred" color space. The implication is that other color spaces will be accepted but are not ideal. If we Send Book to Blurb via LR, I suppose there is no choice but to use sRGB. But what happens if a book is submitted directly to blurb outside of LR using - say- Adobe RGB? Does blurb convert to sRGB? Does it even know that the images have been sent with Adobe?
In LR, you're exporting sRGB to Blurb.
So why not proof to that space ?Are you suggesting that the differences between Melissa RGB and sRGB aren't worth considering ?
Yes, the differences between Melissa RGB (which is used for numbers, not the color space you're viewing, that depends on the modules and other factors) and sRGB are not worth considering in terms of the soft proof.
If it's not worth trying to soft proof to sRGB, why did Adobe build in the facility ?
There is zero reason to soft proof to sRGB. It isn't the output color space.
You can't build a profile for Blurb without sending them the correct (CMYK) targets and by having an understanding of the front end and how it deals with untagged CMYK. You need to know (or work though lots of output) GCR, total ink, linearization based on lpi and a host of other stuff only Blurb knows.
Now that you have this RGB soft proof profile, how does the actual press behavior vary over say a month? How close does the calibration bring it back to the measured target? Ideally you'd send that target out X number of times over a month (I'd prefer 2-3 a day). You'd see how it varies over average and max dE among other metrics,and then use that average data to build the profile again for soft proofing.

The producers claim Candice is a hero because of her mutiny in Cook Islands. People seem to like her though, so I guess it's cool they brought her back. There are always those wild card players when casting an All Star version.
Candice. She pretty much mutineed immediately. Penner, OTOH, hesitated, and then was all like, "Ahhh, what the heck!"

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Chris Narveson passed his first game test on his recovery from shoulder surgery.
Out for nearly a year, Narveson threw 30 pitches Wednesday in the Brewers' 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Narveson allowed two hits and a run, striking out one and walking one. He last pitched on April 15 before needing season-ending surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff.
"I think there are a lot of times you start thinking how is it going to feel that first time out," Narveson said. "Once that adrenaline and everything starts going, it gets you back into that feel of being on the mound again.
"It was one of those things where there was so much anticipation and so much a feeling of relief to be able to go out there and be on the mound again," he said.
Narveson was pulled after 11/3 innings.
"I didn't feel like I overdid it," he said. "Sometimes I think when you come back sometimes you worry about trying to do too much. I stayed within myself and just tried to pound the zone and stay down. For the first time out, I'm pleased."
A healthy Narveson, who won 23 games in 2010-11 before being limited to two starts last season, would be a boost to the Brewers' rotation.
"I'll be ready," he said. "I don't have any doubt. It's just a matter of refining and getting your skills ready to go by then."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought it was an encouraging start.
"I liked it," he said. "I think he threw some really good pitches. He missed with a few, but I liked it. I thought the ball came out well. For being out that long, I liked it."
Max Ramirez singled home Lorenzo Cain in the seventh inning for the go-ahead run as the Royals improved to 5-0-1 this spring.
Cain, who walked and stole second, made his first appearance after missing the first five games with a hand injury.
Royals starter Luke Hochevar walked three and gave up two runs in 12/3 innings. Bruce Chen, competing with Hochevar for the fifth spot in the rotation, pitched two spotless innings.
Hochevar threw only 20 strikes in 38 pitches.
"It was just the two-seamer was sinking just below the zone," Hochevar said. "It's a small adjustment and we can make that with no problem. It was the action I wanted. That was the pitch I fell behind with a little bit and that I wasn't commanding that much. That's a feel pitch and that will come."
Said manager Ned Yost: "Luke's command was off, behind on a lot of hitters, but his stuff was pretty impressive."
Royals shortstop Elliot Johnson was removed after the sixth inning with a bruised left knee when Carlos Gomez slid into his leg while he started a double play.
"It's more a precautionary thing," Yost said. "He was fighting to stay in the game, but this early let's get some ice on it."
NOTES: Royals LF Alex Gordon returned after missing the previous two games with lower back stiffness.
� RHP James Shields, who was acquired in a seven-player trade in December from Tampa Bay, makes his Royals debut Thursday against San Diego.
� The Brewers, who have lost five straight after winning their opener, will start RHP Wily Peralta on Thursday against the White Sox.

Here is what you need to do to be able to build XFree86 (or other clients of IOGraphics services) on Mac OS X Public Beta.
Now su to root and do a ``make install'' from the bootstrap_cmds
cvs checkout bootstrap_cmds
cd bootstrap_cmds
cd /Library
mkdir -p Frameworks
cp -R /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework Frameworks/IOKit.framework
cd /
mkdir -p Local
ln -s /Library /Local/Library
The "make install" will start by assembling all the headers you need,
but then will proceed to build a new kernel. You can Control-C out of
the build once it starts compiling things if you want. Otherwise, just
be patient.
cvs checkout xnu
cd xnu
source SETUP/setup.csh
make exporthdrs
make install
Then you need to change the Makefile so it builds on top of the new
IOKit framework you are building. Change to the IOKitUser project
directory and edit the Makefile. Change the following line:
cvs checkout IOKitUser
NEXTSTEP_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR = /$(USER)/build/$(NAME)
Now, run ``make'' while in the IOKitUser directory. It will likely not
finish building since the IOKitUser project relies on some stuff that
Apple hasn't really made public yet, but it should finish populating
the new IOKit framework with headers and start compiling. (Strangely
enough, the headers installed in your new IOKit framework don't contain
the real header files. They are just single line files with an #import
of the file in your IOKitUser project. This works fine as long as you
don't ever delete or move your IOKitUser project. I imagine that using
``make install'' would fix this up, but you can't do this as long as the
project doesn't build correctly. So for now you can either move the
header files by hand, or make sure you leave your IOKitUser project in
NEXTSTEP_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR = <your xnudir>/BUILD/dst/System/Library/Frameworks
cd BUILD/dst/System/Library/Frameworks/
cp -R IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers/* \
cd BUILD/dst/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Versions/B/Headers
cp -R libkern /System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Headers/libkern
Here is an outline of what you need to do to be able to build XFree86 (or other clients of IOGraphics services) on Mac OS X Developers' Preview 4.
source SETUP/setup.csh
make exporthdrs
This will create a new local version of the IOKit framework that will
override the System version without changing the original.
mkdir -p /Local/Library/Frameworks
cp -R /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework /Local/Library/Frameworks
The only problem with this is that there are a few stub header files
included that are just a single line with an #import to the
appropriate place in the xnu source on your disk. This is fine as long
as you don't move your xnu project. If you do, you can copy the
original file to replace the stub. There is probably an easier way to
automatically build a clean version of the IOKit framework, but I
didn't find it. (Let me know if you do.)
cp -R sandbox/xnu/BUILD/dst/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers \
< #include <Kernel/libkern/OSTypes.h>
> #include <libkern/OSTypes.h>

Project Green – Building with Clay Bricks (part 4)
Part 1 to 3 covered the location, green activities, insulation and building materials. If you missed any of these sections, please visit www.nationalguidetorealestate.co.za (Ed 6-8) or alternatively www.engelvoelkers.com/potchefstroom to follow the building process with us.
"Our dream for the energy efficient house, which we will be building on Lekwena Wildlife Estate, is to create an environment that keeps its occupants cool during the hot summer months, and warm and cosy in winter, whilst at the same time assists them in saving on monthly electricity and structural maintenance costs" noted Carl Venter, Licence Partner of Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom.
Carl added that the first building material that they selected for this goal is the clay brick. After doing their research and taking an in-depth look at the bricks, they were convinced of the many benefits that building with these type of bricks offer.
Although there are various alternative building materials which might also be energy efficient and green, they specifically opted to use clay bricks due to the combination of energy efficiency, durability, longevity and the fact that their market responds well to – and even favours clay bricks. They want to create a model that is extremely energy efficient, helps its occupants to save on costs and still resonates well with their local Potchefstroom market.
Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom partnered with Berts Bricks – a local and very successful clay brick manufacturer. Berts Bricks is a family business that was established 75 years ago with ample experience in sustainable and green building methods. "It is a privilege partnering with a company of their expertise on Project Green" added Helandi Moolman, Marketing Manager of Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom.
The clay bricks were evaluated according to a few key factors that play an important role in the energy efficiency and sustainable use of natural resources, which are listed below:
Natural Material
The main reason why clay bricks are so energy efficient, is because they are 'from the earth'. Clay bricks comprise of two natural resources: clay and shale, making it a natural building material. Since building 'green' or living 'green' also means opting for natural products as far as possible – clay brick is an excellent choice.
Environmental Impact
Clay bricks do not release any VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) that can impact the air quality.
Recyclable & Reusable
Being made of natural materials, clay bricks can be recycled in a sustainable manner by using it as aggregate for brick production and concrete production. Clay bricks can also be reused as masonry and pavers.
Inert Qualities
Clay bricks do not release toxic fumes or gasses under normal conditions or during fire.
Sound Insulation
The weight of clay bricks offer good acoustic protection.
Thermal Capacity for a comfortable indoor climate
Another advantage of using clay bricks is the fact that they are able to breathe and to 'self-regulate', thus creating a warm, dry, allergen and mould-free interior.
Physical Attributes
Clay bricks have a natural tendency to absorb moisture from the air when the relative humidity is high and release the moisture when the indoor air is dry to maintain an ideal thermal balance.
Structural Integrity and Longevity
Clay bricks have a very lengthy life span and have proven integrity over 100 years – and well beyond.
The low maintenance qualities, as well as their colour-fast feature ensure that you will save on future renovation as well as on future carbon emissions associated with renovating.
In order to minimise transport Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom partnered with a local clay brick manufacturer just outside of Potchefstroom as mentioned above.

CANNES, France (AP) — Cannes has been the birthplace of many a star, and the latest candidate to shine is Marine Vacth, who plays a teenager confronting the complexities of adolescent sexuality in Francois Ozon's "Jeune et Jolie" ("Young and Beautiful.")
The 23-year-old French model fully lives up to the film's title as Isabelle, a 17-year-old the film follows across four seasons — from a fleeting summer fling to work as an emotionally detached Parisian prostitute.
It's an enigmatic character study, with frequent nudity and plenty of sex. Ozon — who is known for his rapport with actresses including Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier — said he knew Vacth was right for the challenging role despite her lack of acting experience.
"In her eyes I could see there was a whole inner world, a mystery, and that is exactly what I was looking for in my film," he told reporters Thursday.
"Marine didn't have much experience ... but she also was a model and that helped her for the nude scenes. She was quite free. Often actresses are ill at ease in those scenes."
Vacth, who has modeled for Yves Saint Laurent, Chloe and Ralph Lauren, said she enjoyed the experience of making the film, but is loath to call herself an actress.
"I didn't feel there was any major transition moving from model to actress," she said. "It was more complex than that.
"I have never really viewed myself as a model. I have a problem with being given a kind of status. I have no idea what 'actress' even means, even though I enjoy acting a great deal."
"Jeune et Jolie" premiered at Cannes Thursday to warm applause from French journalists and a hint of puzzlement from some others.
Ozon — who has won a wide international audience with films including "Swimming Pool," ''Potiche" and "In The House" — said he wanted to counteract the "highly idealized" depiction of adolescence in many movies and show the complex reality.
But in its copious nudity, lingering glances at young female sexuality and soundtrack of 1960s Gallic pop, it seemed to some Anglo audience members archetypally and bafflingly French — too French, perhaps, to take the top prize when the Cannes jury, headed by Steven Spielberg, hands out its awards on May 26.
It comes as no surprise that Isabelle's first, disappointing lover is not a Frenchman, but a young German she meets on the beach.
Originally, he was to have been from a country with an even lower amorous reputation in France.
"In the screenplay it was an Englishman, because it's a bit of a cliche, a stereotype, for a French girl to sleep with an English boy," Ozon said.
In the end, he became German — "but I'm sure the English boy would have been just as bad a lover."

Winnipesaukee watershed association looking to raise its profileBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
May 21. 2013 7:42PM
WOLFEBORO — One of two "Meet and Greet" receptions hosted by the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association (LWWA) will be held on June 6 at the Wolfeboro Corinthian Yacht Club.
The reception will be held at the club, located at 12 Nancy's Way, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
The first of the two "Meet and Greet" receptions will be held on May 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center on White Oaks Road in Laconia.
The receptions present an opportunity for individuals, businesses, and other organizations to become better acquainted with the work of local lake associations.
According to Patricia Tarpey, Executive Director of LWWA, the staff and Board of Directors will showcase the new programs and projects that are planned for this year and in the future.
"The LWWA has embarked on an ambitious five-year strategic plan that focuses on four major objectives: to strengthen its technical capacity to perform and assist water quality monitoring, enhance its organizational capacity to provide information on critical water quality issues, to help inform and engage residents and visitors through campaigns, social media, presentations to communities and organizations, conduct activities like the 'Floating Classroom,' and to provide high quality programs, services, and activities to our members and the public through expansion and enhancement of our partnerships," according to Tarpey.

One of the best things about FaithWriters is the opportunity to receive feedback on your writing, whether in the General Articles (for all members), or in the Critique Circle and Challenge (for Gold and Platinum members).
Many members will very quickly admit how much they love to see those little golden boxes of feedback at the bottom of one of their articles or Challenge entries. It means so much to get a word of encouragement, or even a little bit of input as to how they could make their work better.
You don't need to be an expert to know if you enjoyed something or not. So even if you are the newest of beginners, you can still give a personal opinion from a reader's point of view. If you enjoyed something, let the author know you did. You will make their day. If you didn't understand something, then you should feel free to let the author know that you didn't quite get it. If you are polite and kind with your comments, the author will benefit from your honesty.
There is also a side benefit for reading every article with a critiquing eye. Every writer must be an avid reader. One of the fastest ways to grow as a writer is to read lots of other people's work, and FaithWriters is a brilliant place to do that.
So as you read, whether in the General Articles or in the Challenge, always be asking yourself why something did or didn't work. Did the beginning catch your attention? Did it seem to get a bit rambly after a few paragraphs.? Did you feel let down by the ending? Was it a little hard to get the point? Did the author use a lot of sayings that were old and tired (heard a thousand times before)?
Writing is a very eclectic thing. We learn from one another -- through the very best and through the mistakes.
So don't let insecurity hold you back. Read lots and lots of General Articles and Challenge entries, and as you leave feedback, you will receive back as much as you give--maybe not in feedback on your articles, but in ever-growing knowledge and understanding.
To help members develop their critiquing skills, we are now offering a sample of the Judging Rating Sheet (either Excel or Open Office format only) to active Challenge members. If used when reading entries, this sheet will help members pinpoint why something works or doesn't work--simply by rating each entry based on the eight rating categories. If you would like a copy of the rating sheet to use in this way, please send me a private message.

A collaborative workforce retention initiative is hitting the mark, based on survey results and feedback from the 2nd annual Northern Valley Career Expo.
The event, which featured hands-on exhibits and break-out sessions, introduced 1,250 sophomores from 23 high schools in Northeast North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota to in-demand careers in the Northern Red River Valley.
Nearly 95 percent of exhibitors responding to a survey after the Nov. 13 event said they view the Expo as a viable strategy to impact regional workforce retention.
An exhibitor emailed us immediately after the event and said, "I truly believe this is one of the better ideas that have become a reality in our region. I hope to come back every year."
About 82 percent of students responding to the survey said the Expo introduced them to a career in an area they hadn't previously considered. Nearly 76 percent said the event increased their interest to pursue a career within the region. And more than 80 percent of the students indicated the event helped them determine high school courses they should take.
This feedback validates that we are achieving our goals with this event. If our region is going to retain youth to build careers here, it's important they be introduced early to the employers and career options.
As sophomores, students begin to map out careers and related post-secondary requirements. This is the perfect age to involve students in an event like this. They see the possibilities and still have time to fulfill high school courses that put them on a path to the career they discover at the Expo.
We are part of a 10-member planning committee that includes representatives from workforce, economic development and education organizations in Northwest Minnesota and Northeast North Dakota. This committee is already focused on expanding next year's event, continuing this workforce development effort as part of a regional recruitment and retention necessity.

STOCKTON - On a recent Friday, four of us decided to go for a walk from our downtown office, intent on satisfying our lunchtime hunger.
STOCKTON - On a recent Friday, four of us decided to go for a walk from our downtown office, intent on satisfying our lunchtime hunger.
Ordinarily, our Friday destination would have been the farmers market, and as we strolled down the middle of the street past the Bob Hope Theatre, we did indeed see the usual fruit and vegetable sellers, the hummus stand and the typical assortment of curbside dining opportunities.
But we headed inside to Parker's Alley Cafe, which opened less than two months ago.
Natural light flooded the small, modern, attractively furnished restaurant. The windows provided a view of Hunter Square and the activity from the market and the courthouse. In addition to the main dining area, Parker's Alley Cafe has several small meeting rooms for private business lunches, as well as a few outdoor tables.
We waited briefly in line to order from the menu's rather limited selection of three salads, three sandwiches and a trio of served-all-day breakfast items: bagels, muffins and oatmeal. The sandwiches come with a choice of chips or fresh fruit salad.
Delivery by our server was prompt and friendly. The food was fine, though open to some quibbles.
The biggest disappointment with the Chicken Panini ($6.85) and the Ham and Swiss Panini ($5.80) was that by definition they either are not paninis or they are the most gently compressed paninis in the history of paninis.
Putting aside the lack of compression, the Chicken Panini - warm ciabatta bread with chicken, provolone, romaine lettuce, tomato and a smear of pesto - was fresh and flavorful.
The Ham and Swiss Panini was served on a Genova roll accompanied by red onion, tomato, romaine lettuce and a honey mustard dressing that was sweeter than we would have liked.
The Gourmet Sandwich ($6.95) came with turkey and Swiss cheese. Roast beef was listed as an option on the menu, but Parker's Alley was out of it. Still, the turkey was sliced especially thin, making the sandwich light and tasty. The staff missed a special request (no tomatoes), but to be fair, the lunch crowd had arrived and it was reasonably busy.
In the end, sandwich eaters might wish they'd gone with one of the salads, though we did not get to sample the Salmon Salad ($7.95) because when we arrived shortly after 12 p.m., they were already out of salmon.
So we settled for the Chicken Harvest Salad ($6.95), served in a medium-sized bowl filled with spring mix greens, apple and pear chunks, walnuts and provolone cheese. It was topped with a sweet raspberry vinaigrette and served with two slices of French bread.
The flavors blended together well. The fruit was fresh and juicy, and the provolone cheese appeared to be recently grated into small, thin slices.
One downside to the meal was the chicken, which was salty and cold. Our first and lasting impression is that the chicken was not prepared fresh, but came from a package that can be found in the luncheon meat section of your local grocer. All in all, though, the salad made for a fine lunch.
A 16-ounce cup of coffee, we'd venture to call a medium-roasted blend, offered competition to the nearby Starbucks. For $1.75, it was cheaper and just as fresh and flavorful. The caf� also offers a nice variety of teas.
Parker's Alley Cafe is in a space that sat vacant for more than a decade. Here's hoping it builds on its promising start and becomes a fixture downtown.

Travel Guide of Lake Placid for: Courtyard by Marriott Lake PlacidLake Placid, New York
Lake Placid Summary
- Located on Mirror Lake, one of the most stunning lakes in the Adirondacks
- Free trolley service along the lake
- The perfect vacation sport for outdoor enthusiasts, with mountain biking, hiking, and swimming
- Decent number of restaurants for such a small town -- sourdough bakeries, Caribbean, Greek, and dessert cafe options
- Things going on year-round, from ice climbing and carnivals in the winter, to gondola rides and biathlon races in the summer.
- Variety of hotels to choose from
- Charming surrounding towns that offer even more outdoor activities and beautiful views
- Winter storms can be brutal
- Need a car to visit nearby towns
- Not an active nightlife spot
- Lots of traffic downtown during the summertime
What It's Like
Host city of the 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid is a winter sports lover's paradise. Although summer is its busiest season, there are plenty of outdoor adventures for visitors at any time of year. And although it's in the middle of the Adirondack Mountains, the compact downtown center has a surprisingly diverse offering of restaurants.
Don't let the name "Lake Placid" fool you; the actual lake is a couple miles away. Instead, the village of Lake Placid lies on the shores of Mirror Lake. Some of the state's best mountains are found here, making it a popular winter ski spot, while summer brings travelers who want to swim or boat. Impressive fall foliage also makes it a destination for leaf peepers.
The nearby Saranac Lake, often labeled the number one small town in America, offers fewer restaurant and entertainment options than Lake Placid, but a mellower, hometown feel. Also neighboring Lake Placid, the St. Regis Canoe Wilderness Area has some of the best canoeing and kayaking spots in the U.S.
Where To Stay
Lake Placid offers the best hotels and resorts in the region. Most are located centrally, in Lake Placid's popular downtown area. Many restaurants and shops are situated on the western side of Mirror Lake, along Mirror Lake Drive, so if you want to be close to the action, best stick to this side of the lake. Visitors seeking absolute seclusion should drive to the southern edge of Lake Placid, where nature reserves and hiking trails abound. Many bed and breakfasts can be found in these isolated, surrounding areas.

Gynecologic Cancers
The multidisciplinary gynecologic cancer team at the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center works together to provide the best possible care for women with gynecologic cancer. Our team includes expert gynecologic oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and nurses. Because communication among these specialists is vital, the entire team meets weekly to share information and insights--leading to the most effective, and often groundbreaking, treatments for our patients.
Many new treatments for gynecologic cancers, including specialized radiation treatment, such as IMRT, are available at the University of Chicago medical center. In fact, we are one of the key participants in the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG), which does more gynecologic cancer research than any other organization in the United States.
Besides medical advances, experts at the University of Chicago also can provide women with the resources and support they need to cope with their disease. We realize that care doesn't end with medicine. It involves comfort, compassion, and collaboration with the patient.

Introducing VJET ANVILS
(Formerly known as VJET Type libraries)
Authoring - give you great code assist for the right javascript scope
Navigation - help you navigate the code base based on call hierarchy, references, etc.
Validation - provide semantic validation
Instruction - Helps with inline documentation
Libraries - Packaged as an Eclipse project just import and depend on.
VJET ANVILs provide a way to work with 3rd party Javascript libraries without requiring an Eclipse plugin because the ANVILS are described with javascript.
The idea behind the "ANVIL" is to create definitions which describe other JavaScript libraries. JavaScript is a huge area today thanks to Client and Server-side libraries such as jQuery and Node.js.
ANVIL "descriptions" are defined in a structured definition format called vjo.js. vjo.js is JavaScript itself (which is kind of nice - JavaScript describing other JavaScript).
We can think of the vjo.js as being similar to Java Interfaces and Class declarations. We can "describe" the coding contracts only but no their implementation. The implementation is always the real runtime library that would physically be included in your webpage like jquery (<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js";></script>) or server-side Node module being used via require(...).
The ANVIL is read in by the Eclipse IDE and provides the necessary information for it to provide authoring assistance and validations. Authoring assistance would be things like type completion and proposals which are concepts we generally enjoy with typed languages like Java.
Also, those definitions help VJET do validation on your code as well. For example your function takes a String and Number argument but someone passed in an Array or Date. In raw JavaScript this is just tough luck and bad things happen at runtime. With VJET, this scenario is caught and flagged as an error for the developer to correct.
JavaScript is a simple language on the surface and provides very limited types (Object, Function, Array, Date, Boolean, String, Number and RegExp) only. However, JavaScript can create very complex functions and types that benefit from more type support and that's where VJET comes into play.
