What is the difference between NULL AND VOID pointer?
What is the difference between undefined value and null value?
Undefined value: A value that is not defined and has no keyword is known as undefined value. For example in the declaration, int number; the number has undefined value.
Null value: A value that is explicitly specified by the key word 'null' is known as null value. For example in the declaration, String str=null; the str has a null value. The keyword 'null' is used here.
Difference between a java object reference and c++ pointer.
The prime difference is that pointers are to locate the address of the primitive variables only, where as object reference locates the object in the heap.
What is the difference between undefined value and null value?
A. Undefined value cannot be explicitly stated that is there is no keyword called undefined whereas null value has keyword called null
B. typeof undefined variable or property returns undefined whereas typeof null value returns object
What is the difference between undefined value and null value?
A. Undefined value cannot be explicitly stated that is there is no keyword called undefined whereas null value has keyword called null.
B. Type of undefined variable or property returns undefined where as type of null value returns object
Difference Between Delete and Truncate
.Delete table is a logged operation, so the deletion of each row gets logged in the transaction log, which makes it slow.
. Truncate table also deletes all the rows in a table, but it won't log the deletion of each row, instead it logs the de-allocation of the data pages of the table, which makes it faster. Of course, truncate table cannot be rolled back.
. Truncate table is functionally identical to delete statement with no "where clause" both remove all rows in the table. But truncate table is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources than delete.
. Truncate table removes all rows from a table, but the table structure and its columns, constraints, indexes etc., remains as it is.
. In truncate table the counter used by an identity column for new rows is reset to the seed for the column.
. If you want to retain the identity counter, use delete statement instead.
. If you want to remove table definition and its data, use the drop table statement.
. You cannot use truncate table on a table referenced by a foreign key constraint; instead, use delete statement without a where clause. Because truncate table is not logged, it cannot activate a trigger.
. Truncate table may not be used on tables participating in an indexed view.
Difference between assembly manifest & metadata?
assembly manifest - An integral part of every assembly that renders the assembly self-describing. The assembly manifest contains the assembly's metadata. The manifest establishes the assembly identity, specifies the files that make up the assembly implementation, specifies the types and resources that make up the assembly, itemizes the compile-time dependencies on other assemblies, and specifies the set of permissions required for the assembly to run properly. This information is used at run time to resolve references, enforce version binding policy, and validate the integrity of loaded assemblies. The self-describing nature of assemblies also helps makes zero-impact install and XCOPY deployment feasible.
metadata - Information that describes every element managed by the common language runtime: an assembly, loadable file, type, method, and so on. This can include information required for debugging and garbage collection, as well as security attributes, marshaling data, extended class and member definitions, version binding, and other information required by the runtime.
What is the difference between ref & out parameters?
An argument passed to a ref parameter must first be initialized. Compare this to an out parameter, whose argument does not have to be explicitly initialized before being passed to an out parameter.
What is the difference between a Struct and a Class?
The struct type is suitable for representing lightweight objects such as Point, Rectangle, and Color. Although it is possible to represent a point as a class, a struct is more efficient in some scenarios. For example, if you declare an array of 1000 Point objects, you will allocate additional memory for referencing each object. In this case, the struct is less expensive.
When you create a struct object using the new operator, it gets created and the appropriate constructor is called. Unlike classes, structs can be instantiated without using the new operator. If you do not use new, the fields will remain unassigned and the object cannot be used until all of the fields are initialized.
It is an error to declare a default (parameterless) constructor for a struct. A default constructor is always provided to initialize the struct members to their default values.
It is an error to initialize an instance field in a struct.
There is no inheritance for structs as there is for classes. A struct cannot inherit from another struct or class, and it cannot be the base of a class. Structs, however, inherit from the base class Object. A struct can implement interfaces, and it does that exactly as classes do.
A struct is a value type, while a class is a reference type.
Difference between type constructor and instance constructor? What is static constructor, when it will be fired? And what is its use?
(Class constructor method is also known as type constructor or type initializer)
Instance constructor is executed when a new instance of type is created and the class constructor is executed after the type is loaded and before any one of the type members is accessed. (It will get executed only 1st time, when we call any static methods/fields in the same class.) Class constructors are used for static field initialization. Only one class constructor per type is permitted, and it cannot use the vararg (variable argument) calling convention.
What is the difference between Finalize and Dispose (Garbage collection)
Class instances often encapsulate control over resources that are not managed by the runtime, such as window handles (HWND), database connections, and so on. Therefore, you should provide both an explicit and an implicit way to free those resources. Provide implicit control by implementing the protected Finalize Method on an object (destructor syntax in C# and the Managed Extensions for C++). The garbage collector calls this method at some point after there are no longer any valid references to the object.
In some cases, you might want to provide programmers using an object with the ability to explicitly release these external resources before the garbage collector frees the object. If an external resource is scarce or expensive, better performance can be achieved if the programmer explicitly releases resources when they are no longer being used. To provide explicit control, implement the Dispose method provided by the IDisposable Interface. The consumer of the object should call this method when it is done using the object. Dispose can be called even if other references to the object are alive.
Note that even when you provide explicit control by way of Dispose, you should provide implicit cleanup using the Finalize method. Finalize provides a backup to prevent resources from permanently leaking if the programmer fails to call Dispose.
Difference between OLEDB Provider and SqlClient ?
SQLClient .NET classes are highly optimized for the .net / sqlserver combination and achieve optimal results. The SqlClient data provider is fast. It's faster than the Oracle provider, and faster than accessing database via the OleDb layer. It's faster because it accesses the native library (which automatically gives you better performance), and it was written with lots of help from the SQL Server team.
The entry point to any of a .net project is a static void Main() because.....
The main has to be called when the class is loaded
What is the difference between interface and abstract class ?
a class may inherit several interfaces, a class may inherit only one abstract class
What is the Difference between #Bind and #Eval ?
Eval is read only. Bind is 2 way binding(updatable)

Małopolska Voivodship : Auschwitz
Auschwitz is the generic name given to the cluster of concentration, labour and extermination camps built by the Germans during the Second World War and located outside the town of Oswiecim (Polish Oświęcim) in southern Poland, some 60 km from Krakow. The camps have become a place of pilgrimage for survivors, their families and all who wish to travel to remember the Holocaust.
Although not the only (or, indeed, the first) Nazi concentration and extermination camp, Auschwitz has become a widespread symbol of terror, genocide and the Holocaust in the global consciousness.
A concentration camp was established by the Nazis in the suburbs of the Polish city of Oswiecim which - like the rest of Poland - was occupied by the Germans from the beginning of the Second World War (1939-1945). The name of the city of Oswiecim was changed ('Germanized') to Auschwitz, which became the name of the camp as well.
The camp was continually expanded over the next 5 years and ultimately consisted of 3 main parts: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and Auschwitz III-Monowitz. Auschwitz also had over 40 sub-camps in the neighboring cities and in the surrounding area. Initially, only Poles and Jews were imprisoned and died in the camp. Subsequently, Soviet prisoners of war ('POWs'), gypsies, and prisoners of other nationalities and minorities were also incarcerated there.
From 1942 onwards the camp became the site of one of the greatest mass murders in the history of humanity, committed against the European Jews as part of Hitler's plan for the complete destruction of that people ('the Final Solution'). The vast majority of the Jewish men, women and children deported from their homes all over occupied Europe to Auschwitz were sent immediately to their deaths in the Birkenau gas chambers upon arrival, usually trained in in overcrowded cattle wagons. Their bodies were afterwards cremated in industrial furnaces in the crematoria.
At the end of the war, in an effort to remove the traces of the crimes they had committed, the SS began dismantling and razing the gas chambers, crematoria, and other buildings, as well as burning documents. Prisoners capable of marching were evacuated into the depths of the German Reich. Those who remained behind in the camp were liberated by Red Army soldiers on 27 January 1945.
A 2 July 1947 Act of the post-war Polish Parliament established the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on the grounds of the two extant parts of the camp, Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
The site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
Get in
There are quite frequent and inexpensive buses (10zl each way) or minibuses (8zl each way - depart from the basement level of the main bus station) to and from the main bus station in Krakow, or guided tours are available from most hotels or tourist information centres. The bus takes about one and a half hours - it is usually busy and stops locally along the way. Also, trains regularly run to Oswiecim, you can purchase a return ticket for approx 45zl or one way for approx 23zl. A bus can then be caught to Auschwitz, or you can walk there (approx 1 km) in about 20-25 minutes. There is a shuttle bus between Auschwitz and Birkenau. It is free and goes every half hour (from Auschwitz to Birkenau it leaves on the hour at half hourly intervals and going the opposite way it is 15 minutes of the hour at half hourly intervals), or you can just walk the two miles between the camps (although it isn't a very nice walk as it is along the roads). If you've just missed a bus, a taxi between the sites will cost about 15 zl.
Local (Krakow - 1hr30m) and international (e.g. Vienna, Prague) trains also stop at the nearby town of Oświęcim (3km).
Entrance is free, without a ticket, though donations are encouraged. As of April 2009, Tours cost ~48zl & are discounted for students at 34zl. Be aware you will require a 10zl or 5-Euro deposit for the rental of headsets if you take a tour. The museum is open until 4pm in the winter, the 12:30 tour will get you back for the 4pm bus back to Krakow (goes from behind Auschwitz I, not the main road).
Tours from Krakow
Several companies provide tours from Krakow for around 100 zl. This will involve a minibus pick-up from anywhere in Krakow, and being given a guided tour from about 11 a.m. tp 2.30 p.m.
Get around
The Auschwitz Memorial and Museum is navigated on foot.
Tours are provided by the museum for a fee in various languages, and are recommended if you want a deeper understanding of the site, but you can get a pretty good feel by buying a guidebook and map (small, simple guide = 4zl; more detailed "souvenir" guide = 12zl - covering Auschwitz and Birkenau) and wandering round yourself. Each exhibit is described in Polish with other language translations but you can gain a much better understanding if you join a tour with a guide. The scope of the evil and terror that occurred here is almost unimaginable and a guide will help to put in context what a room full of human hair or what a thousand pairs of infant shoes means.
Please remember that you are essentially visiting a mass grave site, as well as a site that has an almost incalculable meaning to a significant portion of the world's population. There are still many men and women alive who survived their time here, and many more who had loved ones who were murdered or worked to death there, both Jewish and gentile. Please treat the site with the dignity, solemnity and respect it deserves. Do not make jokes about the Holocaust or Nazis. Do not deface the site by marking or scratching graffiti into structures. Pictures are permitted in outdoor areas, but remember this is a memorial rather than a tourist attraction, and there will undoubtedly be visitors who have a personal connection with the camps, so be discreet with cameras.
You cannot sleep at the camps. The closest accommodation options are in Oświęcim.
There's a basic cafe and cafeteria in the main visitors' centre of Auschwitz 1 and a coffee machine in the bookshop at Birkenau. More options are in a commercial complex across the street from Auschwitz 1, although the quality of one (the Art Hamburger) is rather poor, but a cheap and quick eat. There are hot dog stalls and similar outlets outside the main museum at the end of the bus/car park.

|Intermittent Claudication Peripheral Vascular Diseases
|Behavioral: Treadmill Exercise Training Behavioral: Arm Ergometry Exercise Training Behavioral: Usual Care
|Phase 3
PAD is a condition that occurs when atherosclerotic plaque builds up in the peripheral arteries and restricts blood flow. People with PAD often experience reduced blood flow to the legs, which may cause painful leg cramping while walking, known as intermittent claudication. Claudication affects over 4 million people in the United States, and many people with this condition can walk only ½ to 2 blocks before leg pain begins to occur. Regular treadmill walking has been shown to be effective at increasing walking distance and reducing claudication in people with PAD. However, walking on a treadmill may prove difficult for some people with PAD and usually causes increased leg pain, both of which may reduce exercise frequency. Aerobic arm exercises do not cause leg pain and may be an effective way for people with PAD to improve overall cardiovascular fitness and increase the amount of exercise they do. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a treadmill exercise program and an aerobic arm exercise program at reducing symptoms of claudication and improving walking ability in people with PAD.
This study will enroll people with PAD and claudication. At a baseline study visit, participants will complete a treadmill walking test; a blood collection; and questionnaires to assess walking status, daily activity levels, quality of life, and mood. One week after the baseline visit, participants will attend a study visit for an assessment of forearm and leg muscle blood flow and a hand-bike test that will measure upper body strength using an arm cycle ergometer. The ergometer is a device with bicycle pedals that people move using their arms. Participants will then be randomly assigned to either a treadmill exercise training program, an arm ergometry exercise program, or a control group.
Participants in the treadmill exercise training program will attend a supervised program at one of four study sites and exercise on a treadmill for 1 hour three times a week for 12 weeks. Participants in the arm ergometry exercise program will attend a supervised program at one of four study sites and exercise using an arm cycle ergometer (hand-bike) for 1 hour three times a week for 12 weeks. Participants in both groups will also receive written instructions about exercising on their own. Participants in the control group will continue to receive usual care from their regular doctor for the treatment of PAD and will be provided with written exercise instructions. Once a week for 12 weeks, participants in the control group will attend study visits to discuss any health problems.
All participants will be asked to monitor their daily exercise for 3 separate weeks during the 12-week period by wearing an accelerometer, which will measure and record physical activity. They will also record their exercise habits in a written diary. All participants will attend study visits on 2 separate days at Weeks 6 and 12 for repeat baseline testing.
From Weeks 12 to 24, all participants will be encouraged to continue to exercise on their own at least three times a week for 30 minutes. Every 4 weeks, study researchers will call participants to offer encouragement and answer questions. At Week 23, participants will again wear an accelerometer and keep an exercise diary for 1 week. All participants will attend a final study visit at Week 24 for repeat baseline testing.

We have been working on our Gazetteer for a long time and while we have collected a lot of information, there is much yet to be done. Keep in mind that whenever we find the mention of a community, we simply add it to our list so that we can go back and do further research. While this has proven a good way of finding communities, it has created many more questions than answers. If you can, we would appreciate your help in answering these accumulating questions.
For whatever it's worth, we have been asked many times why don't we just look-up the information ourselves (like from Wikipedia). Our list contains over 160,000 communities and in fact, we spend most of the day doing those searches. At a guess, we figure that it will take nearly a decade to go through the list just once. As you can imagine, any additional help is really appreciated.
Given its bulk, our data obviously contains scattered errors. The majority of the errors come from reference documents that should have been definitive. Some occur while entering our findings and others result from our methodologies. The problem is identifying the errors. As you read through our pages about Baker and find errors, please let us know - we are working to be as accurate as we can.
The last point that we want to make is that we do our updates in blocks and with over 160,000 communities in our Gazetteer, it can be months between updates. We just wanted to warn you that if you sent us a note today, it may be days, months or even longer before the correction actually appears on our Gazetteer. While this seems to be a long time, please remember that it's just my wife and myself doing the work.
In the case of Baker, we are searching for the following information.
In closing, thank you for any help you can provide. While it might take time for everything to appear on our website, it will make it eventually.

Call it a catfight, a dogfight, whatever you wish. But the Neosho Wildcats and Kearney Bulldogs are in a fierce battle for the Class 3 title at the MSHSAA Class 3 State Wrestling Championships today at Mizzou Arena.
Call it a catfight, a dogfight, whatever you wish. But the Neosho Wildcats and Kearney Bulldogs are in a fierce battle for the Class 3 title at the MSHSAA Class 3 State Wrestling Championships today at Mizzou Arena.
At the conclusion of Friday's semifinals, the Wildcats trail the Bulldogs 118.5-116, this after the Wildcats led nearly the entire tournament. Or, at least until the semifinals arrived.
With a whopping seven wrestlers seeing action in the semi's, the Wildcats were able to advance only two of them -- Nate Rodriguez and Christian Lopez -- to today's finals. The other six -- Dakota McGarrah won a consolation match to advance -- will be vital to the Wildcat's bid for the title if they can manage to place on Saturday.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, fared a little better in their semifinal matches, as they'll send four wrestlers to the finals in Jared Singh (113 pounds), Blake Clevenger (132), Kevin Kinney (138) and Grant Leeth (145).
While every match is a big one at this point, if the Wildcats are to indeed win the title today, you can point back to Friday's 220-pound semifinal match between Christian Lopez and Jarad Sheppard as being perhaps the key match of the tournament for the Wildcats. Facing the undefeated and state-ranked No. 1 Sheppard, Lopez, himself ranked No. 3, gutted out a breathtaking sudden victory in overtime when he scored a fall of the Hillsboro wrestler and completed the 3-1 upset.
"That was huge," Wildcats coach Jeremy Phillips said.
The win pushes Lopez into the title match where he'll face a very familiar foe in McDonald County's Jordan Moffett, who advanced himself in thrilling fashion with a 3-2 decision over Kyle Muehring (Hannibal). Moffett brings a 48-1 record into the match. His only loss? Well, it came to Lopez in the Class 3 District 3 title match last week in Willard.
There's plenty of history between Lopez and Moffett. Saturday will mark their fifth time doing battle this season. So far Moffett is 3-1. The Wildcats, meanwhile, will be relying on Lopez to pull it off again.
"We've got to stay focused," Phillips said. "We've got to make sure we're wrestling not just for ourselves, but for the team."
Rodriguez (54-1) had a much easier road to the 132-pound title match. He won all three of his matches by way of pin, with stops in 48 and 34 seconds before polishing off Jeff Miller (Pacific) in 1:24 in the semifinals. Other semifinalists for the Wildcats who will look to bounce back in consolation matches are Kyler Rea (106), River Buttram (120), Kyle Hostetter (145), Sam Williams (152), and Aaron Clardy (285).
Dakota McGarrah (126) also advanced to the consolation bracket for the Wildcats after winning his third-round consolation match on Friday. He'll join seven other Wildcats on the mat today. Two Wildcats, meanwhile, saw their tournament come to a close as John Williams (113) and Jacob Brock (182) both lost on Friday.
"It's a three day tournament," Phillips said. "We've got to come back and win tomorrow, look for bonus points and stay hungry. I told them it wasn't a matter of if adversity hit, but when. Now we've got to bounce back. There's not going to be any give-me's."

garden state prison
– Garden design is really a very personal thing and is frequently an expression of your personality. Many people like neat and tidy gardens where there are no surprises, others love the thrill of windy paths, several different plant material and unsure what is just about the corner. You can find three main styles of gardens formal, semi-formal and informal. They will then be split into various types of gardens and that depends upon what you will like. Garden design can be intimately tidied to the style of your dwelling as in exemplory instance of the grand French chateaux where in actuality the geometric patterns of the garden mimic the geometric construction of the house or it can have no connection to your dwelling at all.
Some people are lucky and have this innate gift of knowing how to create space, making it a satisfying spot to be in. Others don't have this gene and believe it is extremely tough to visualize how the area will work. To produce a good design it is very important you understand that design is about managing space and people getting around it. The core of good garden design centers round patterns and the room within these patterns. By using geometrical shapes, circles, triangles, rectangles. you can achieve a good feel to your garden. So you'll need to think about ground patterns and movement around your garden. Where would you like people to go? Ground patterns can be achieved with the use of bricks, paving and plant material such as cut grass.
To create a well-designed garden, it is very important to put the best plant in the proper position. This implies thinking about the cultural requirements of the plant. For instance putting the full sun plant such as rose into an unethical position isn't likely to work, because the rose won't be receiving the best level of sunlight for it to grow. The notion of good garden design is to follow along with this philosophy, utilising the keeping of plants to create mystery, tension and surprise by using tricks of a person's eye, colors and textures.
Tension, mystery and surprise make a garden interesting. One method to create these is to use hedges, low walls, screens, paths, steps to produce individual'garden rooms'with tension points that captures your attention on the way. Like a thin oblong garden can be made more interesting in the event that you can't see the rear fence – that there surely is a function (plant or statue etc.) that obscures the fence. In addition it becomes more interesting if the trail way is narrow then opens up into another room. A winding path adds mystery to the garden if you can't see what is around the corner. Surprise comes once you go nearby and find a focal point.
A focal point is something such as for instance a seat/statue/water feature that leads your eye straight to it. For example – a pergola that has a statue by the end of it. The statue may be the feature and is the key reason why you look/walk to see it. Another exemplory case of a focal point is just a pathway leading through a door that's open and shows a vista of the wider landscape.
The success of the focal point can depend on the how successfully the floor patterns lead you there. If the paving encourages you along this path thus creating some tension and mystery, you're more prone to follow the path to see what's there because you've become inquisitive. Narrow paths encourage you to walk quickly and never to dilly dally along the way, whereas wide paths say stroll, invest some time, and go through the surrounding vegetation. A mild curve may be negotiated at speed, but a tight curve can't be so people decrease as there is risk involved. Paving can be used as a directional tool says don't walk that way, but walk this way. Edging bricks say don't step over this – this can be a boundary. Paving may also be used to reflect the bottom plane of your home or other shapes in the garden.
Long narrow gardens have a solid directional emphasis that needs to be broken up. Square plots are static. To fix these problems the space's shape needs to be changed. A circular design distracts the eye from the straight lines of the boundary fence. You might use a series of rectangles utilising the boundaries within the design.
Another method is to turn the garden onto a 45 degree angle. A lengthy diagonal line will immediately produce a feeling of space. The paving near your house could be done on an angle and high light the diagonal type of the whole garden.
Unified space is created by controlling the movement across the garden. It's the way areas are linked together by paths, bridges, pergolas, steps and terraces that determine whether a garden is successful. Careless placing can ruin the flow of the garden. If you wish to direct someone's attention to a particular point then there should be an obvious reason in the style for following this pathway.
Ground levels are very important when designing a garden. If your slope is too steep to walk down safely, steps may be needed and if the entire block is on a slope, the whole area may must be terraced. What material you utilize can be important. Steps shouldn't be of slippery materials and gravel may wash away. The surfaces have to be flat otherwise they could be dangerous and people won't wish to walk along them and instead they may produce a desire lines.
Levels help to produce interest and'rooms'in a garden when you move in one place to another by steps/paths/etc. Allow your levels to gently flow into one another and keep them simple. Don't over decorate them. A slope up from the house will be foreshortened whereas a slope down from the house will appear larger.
Choosing Plant Materials – You can find 3 kinds of gardens: – the plants man, the garden designer and the gardener's (mix of the first two). The plants man gardens contain lots of singular plantings, unconnected and often rare and difficult to source. The garden designer's garden contains plants that are tried and tested – they use plants they know and how they perform. The gardener's garden has discovered that a common plants may be more effective if planted in a scheme.
When choosing plants you should consider what the conditions are of one's garden. There's no point putting alkaline tolerant plants in acid soil. It won't work! You need to think about what your plants you have chosen require moist soils, dry soils, shade, sun, well drained, boggy soils. Should you your research correctly and place your plants in the best position, you are well in route to a successful garden.
The height and spread of your plants must also be considered. Tall growing plants are placed at the back of the garden bed, graduating right down to the lower plants. Remember some plants send up flower spikes that could be bigger compared to plant itself, so they really must be positioned according for their flower spike height. Some plants are bushy so don't forget to leave sufficient room to allow them to spread. They may need annual pruning to keep them in check.
Color – Another trick in the designing tool bag is using color. Color is the feeling of illumination which can be light. The way in which colors inter-react with one another depends on their position in color wheel. Manipulating color is excellent fun and can produce a variety of illusions. Colors are divided into 2 group's primary red, yellow, blue and secondary green, violet, and orange. Secondary colors are constructed of combining two primary such as mixing blue and yellow together to create green. You possibly can make a place look cold or create distance by using pale and brown colors. You can also produce a space looker bigger than it really is by utilizing warm colors such as for instance oranges, reds or yellows. If you intend to make a space look closer to you, again use warm colors. As reds, oranges or yellow are very busy colors to a person's eye, it is recommended to intersperse white flowers or grey foliage plants to calm the visual scene down. White and grey also intensify blue and pale colors.

In response to J.A. Keane (letter to the editor, March 2), in the Christian ethic, if you steal land - including by broken treaty - you have to pay for it, give it back or both! So that will always be the moral obligation. It is the moral obligation to the words of honor written in the treaty, "as long as the grass will grow...." Whatever the phrasing, we have a obligation over the United States of America and America will always live with this dark side to it.
But if my people accept that, if other Indians who have signed treaties accept and sign their lands away, it will be the final steps toward the termination of Indian nations if we relinquish our rights to the land. By treaty or by broken treaties, we still own the land and that's my contention. The treaties were never honored, so the contract is broken and any treaty signed at that level is above the Constitution, it is the law of the land. To those among my people who say, "I don't think we will ever get the land back," it does not make any difference - the land is still there. We should refuse any kind of offer and never sign. It was never agreed upon by the majority of people. So, Chris Barnhouse (letter to the editor, Feb. 16) and J.A. Keane can go back to England or France or wherever they came from.
We don't say anything when others urinate and yell obscenities at 2 o'clock in the morning in the parking lot of the Elk's Lodge.

WESTERN BOHEMIA, Czech Republic - Sipping on a chilly Czech brew while dipping into hot, foamy beer. No guys, it's not a fantasy; it's for real -- and apparently good for you, too.
A yeasty aroma of malt and hops wafts from the beer health centre housed in the converted cellar of one of the Czech Republic's celebrated breweries. In a country famous for its high-quality beers and healthy spas, the historic Chodovar Family Brewery has combined the best of both worlds, with beer baths and beer massages at its Western Bohemia curative spa.
"This is the life," laughs fellow Canadian traveller John Stephenson, hoisting a frosted glass of Chodovar Czech Lager while soaking in a Victorian-style tub full of frothy dark beer.
Talk about a spa treatment that's custom-made for beer-loving Canadians -- heated to a comfortable 34 C, the bathing beer is enriched with mineral water, active beer yeast and a mixture of hops and dehydrated curative herbs. With curtains drawn around a comfy bath and a cold beer in hand, you're enveloped in the warm, sticky sensation of the aromatic caramel-coloured brew.
"Beer can treat a range of ailments, particularly skin conditions, and the health centre should appeal to men who are put off by 'posh' traditional spas," says owner Jiri Plevka.
"We believe in the healing properties of beer and we offer the full range of treatments in this fully-fledged beer spa."
After floating from the frothy tub to the relaxation room, wrapped like a beer-soaked mummy in my sheet and fleece quilt with the lights dimmed and soothing music in the background, I can certainly see the appeal of soaking in suds. Turns out, so do others.
The beer spa is usually fully booked weeks in advance, so make sure you arrange your treatments well before your trip.
While you're there, be sure to tour this, the oldest brewery in Western Bohemia. Its original granite-carved lager cellars date back to the 12th century and are still used to mature the lager today.
Check out the restaurant and small brewing industry museum housed within the ancient cellars, too.
Chodová Planá is one of several charming towns in picturesque Western Bohemia, located in the westernmost region of the Czech Republic and home to some of the world's best beer and historic healing spas.
The region's elegant spa towns, filled with rich natural medicinal waters, include world-famous Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) founded in 1350 by Charles IV, the Czech king and Roman emperor. Lovely Mariánske Lázne (Marienbad) dates back to the 16th century, drawing hordes of health-conscious visitors, often under doctor's orders to "take the waters."
While Prague's stunning architecture and maze of medieval lanes may attract millions of visitors to explore the celebrated Czech capital, Western Bohemia boasts "The Capital City of Beer" and its world-famous pale lager, Pilsner.
"The name Pilsner comes from Pilsner Urquell," says Petr Janík, a brewmaster of the beer that has made the Czech Republic famous. "Plze (Pilsen) is the name of a town in Czech, and that's where Pilsner Urquell gets its name from."
Janík contends this European classic is not only good, but also good for you.
"Pilsner Urquell is a healthy drink if you're having two a day," he says. "It contains a lot of vitamins -- mainly group B -- and minerals. And Pils contains significantly lower alcohol compared to other lagers -- 4.4 per cent compared to the five per cent of standard lagers."
So go ahead and soak in the suds. As they say in the Czech Republic, "Na zdravi" . . . To your health!
Janie Robinson is a Barrie, Ont.-based freelance journalist whose trip was subsidized by the Czech Tourist Authority and Czech Airlines.
- There are more than 30 spa towns throughout the Czech Republic and more than 300 brands of Czech beer on the market. Check out details on the Czech Tourism website at www.czechtourism.com.
- For details on the beer spa at The Chodovar Family Brewery, go to www.chodovar.cz.
- Czech Airlines has direct flights from Canada (Toronto) to Prague three days a week (Tuesday, Friday and Sunday) until Oct. 14, 2008. Details are at czechairlines.com or call 1-866-293-8702.
- The official currency is still the Czech crown (CZK), with 16 CZK worth around $1. The Czech Republic has been a member of the EU since May 1, 2004, and should enter the Euro Zone around 2010.
- Canadian tourists no longer require a visa to travel to the Czech Republic, and can visit for up to 90 days on Canadian passports valid for at least three months beyond your date of departure from the Czech Republic.

Thankfully I didn't wake up Friday to a basement filled with stinky, brown, sludgy water. But, several people on the north east side of Sturgis did. Apparently, a water-main break was the culprit. However, that's not the only stink that happened.
Folks who made calls into the City were told it was just water with sand that backed up into their basements through toilets and drains. I bet if you were to ask those affected, they would tell you there was a lot more than water and sand floating in their basements.
I heard from several residents on the north east side Friday and over the weekend that are not happy with the City's stance that it's an "Act of God" and that the City is not responsible for the damage or necessary clean-up.
I, in fact, made one of those calls to the City office, in which was returned later that day. I was appalled by the words that came from a certain person's mouth that shall remain nameless right now. She may have just been acting out of stress, but her demeanor was unjust and simply un-empathetic towards those who were experiencing this awful mess.
I was told that it was only sand and water that backed up before she let it slip, " Well, it's sewage diluted with water."
Ummm, anyway you look at that it's 'Crap'! How can the City not be responsible for such a situation? I don't care what Act from 2001 you bring up – It's wrong!
One person told me that Friday evening she was presented with a claim form to fill out and that she was told to drink bottled water until the toxicology reports come back. I agree with that, however the person I spoke to Friday from the City said that it's a mute point and that nothing will be paid.
Granted, some of these folks may have home insurance that helps pay for water back-up issues, but it may be just a small amount. And, some of these folks may not have that kind of coverage on their policies at all. Regardless of the homeowners situation, this incident derived from issues relating to pipes belonging to the City. I could understand that if it was only one home or the result of pipes to one home, but this spans an entire neighborhood – multiple homes.
I feel for these people as no one should want to wake up to such a mess. I don't see this issue going away anytime soon, as it shouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised if these folks band together and demand action from the City. I know, I would.
This is crap! City needs to respond
Thankfully I didn't wake up Friday to a basement filled with stinky, brown, sludgy water. But, several people on the north east side of Sturgis did. Apparently, a water-main break was the culprit. However, that's not the only stink that happened.

A 9-year-old girl's harrowing 911 call to report that her father had shot her mother and grandparents began a dangerous hunt for an armed killer. Members of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office tell their story.
At 5:31 p.m. Wednesday, a 9-year-old girl called 911 to tell dispatcher Alex Norton that her father, Ralph Robert Warren III, had just shot her mother and both of her grandparents.
"Please come help," she cried. "I don't want my mom to die."
That would be the start of a harrowing night for law enforcement as they hunted for a killer who was armed and dangerous.
Their unspoken question: Who would be his next target?
"If somebody will kill people that he's had a family relationship with, in front of children, then… what remorse would he have for taking the life of any stranger (or) anybody else he encounters?" asked Capt. Lowell Griffin of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Charles McDonald called the shooter a "top level threat."
Calls flooded the county's emergency communications center, lighting up phone lines like a sea of lighthouses, beaming with information.
All available units were called to respond. "Multiple shots fired" screeched out in scanner traffic.
Officers raced to the crime scene, navigating through rush-hour traffic. First to arrive was a bailiff who was on his way home from a long day at court. Officer Brent Hall got to Piney Ridge Drive minutes after the first call came in, followed by two members of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office's warrant squad.
"I happened to be with Sgt. (Andrew) Anderson here at the Sheriff's Office when the call came in," said Griffin, a 21-year law enforcement veteran who heads the criminal investigations division.
Detective Sgt. Anderson, a 16-year veteran, leads the violent crimes unit. Griffin and Anderson quickly rounded up all available investigative personnel to head to the scene.
"It sounded like it was going to be a complicated scene to start with," Griffin said.
Callers said the suspect had fled the area, but criminals have been known to call into 911 and mislead officers. And just because one suspect was seen, it doesn't mean another can't be lurking.
"You never know when you're pulling up in a situation like this, has the suspect set something up where he's waiting to ambush officers as officers arrive? There's a lot of things that the officers are having to … take into consideration as they make an approach on this," Griffin said.
Capt. Tim Gordon, who heads the sheriff's patrol division and has served 26 years in law enforcement, took the lead on the scene.
As units arrived, they formed an immediate staging area to get "a really quick game plan together at the intersection of (Highway) 25 and Piney Ridge," Griffin said. "Then, as units pulled into the area, they started to secure everything that they could see visually on the outside, looking for the descriptors that the 911 callers had been giving us about the suspects."
As officers pulled into the development, dozens of neighbors were waiting for them outside.
Carrie Tracy Warren, 30, and her parents, Theresa Russell Tracy, 49, and Richard Allen Tracy, 51, were lying along the driveway and near the road at 297 Piney Ridge Drive. Minutes earlier, they had fallen when a barrage of bullets echoed through the otherwise quiet neighborhood. They weren't moving.
With the suspect's whereabouts still unknown, officers asked the residents to go into their homes, lock the doors and stay away from the windows.
"The first priority is to get there and secure it so all of the medical folks can get in," Anderson said.
Officers train for this moment, but no exercise accounts for the challenges of unscripted life.
"You can't choreograph something like this," Griffin said.
Response comes with training, experience and prayerful vigilance, they said.
One group of officers, under the control of SWAT members, cleared potential hiding places. Gordon directed other units to start forming and securing an even larger perimeter.
Another force was rapidly assembled to escort the paramedics and firefighters into the scene to assist the victims. Officers, suited in bullet-resistant vests and armed with semi-automatic rifles, climbed into the fire trucks and an ambulance.
At the home, they grouped to form a shield around the medical team, watching for the slightest out-of-place movement in their surroundings.
"He might be out of the yard, but he might be in the neighborhood," Gordon said.
A weight fell on the responders as they realized all three victims were dead.
"It was a very tragic scene," Griffin added.
Their hunt for a killer began.
Investigations often start with a search for witnesses, but in this case, witnesses were abundant.
"It's very important to get a statement very quick from a witness," Anderson said. "A lot of times a crime happens, there are no witnesses, but this time it was overflow."
At least 11 witnesses, including Warrens' 4-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter, were brought out of the neighborhood to the Sheriff's Office for interviews. The Department of Homeland Security pitched in to help. Child forensic investigators talked to Warren's children. They both saw the shooting.
"It's really important for us to start to transition from simply responding to start to put a plan together to try to get ahead of the suspect," Griffin said.
Dispatchers were "trying to give us the information they feel is relevant as it comes in," he added. "Different folks have different perspectives of things. I think they had one caller that said we heard about 15 gunshots, and they had another call that said they heard about 50 gunshots."
They heard the suspect was in a silver car with a black top… or a black car with a silver top… or a white car. Vehicles matching the description that seemed to ring true with the most callers – a silver car with a black top – were spotted by witnesses and chased down Interstate 26 by the North Carolina Highway Patrol, eager to lend a helping hand.
When the description was broadcast over emergency channels, officers remembered seeing a silver convertible with a black top pull into the Cranston plant, off Asheville Highway in Fletcher, as they rushed to the scene. Gordon suspects Warren may have turned down the road in a panic to get away from the police, only to find himself in a "quagmire in a maze."
"They went back and checked for it, but could not find it there," Gordon said.
Behind a fa�ade of industrial buildings, parking lots and water treatment facilities was a field of waist-high grass and wetlands bordering Cane Creek. It was hard to believe a low-rise sports car could have gone off-roading in the field, but it did.
Witnesses later called to report the convertible near a fence line along Howard Gap Road. A report of a man carrying a long gun through a field rang out on the airwaves.
At the staging area at the base of Piney Ridge Drive, Capt. Gordon assembled a quick reaction force ready to roll in case other information developed. When they heard a possible sighting of Warren's vehicle in a field, it was go time. They activated their sirens and sped that way.
Back at the Sheriff's Office, a former member of the sheriff's SWAT team went to the impoundment lot and fired up the Bearcat – an armored tactical vehicle – in case it was needed.
Anderson said that before he left the Piney Ridge location, "we had a plan for the other scene if indeed the subject was deceased."
One group of investigators continued to work the crime scene, preserving and documenting the evidence, ever mindful that their work might be critical in court three or four years in the future.
It was a race against time and Mother Nature to solve the mystery of the shooting on Piney Ridge Drive, as a light rain began to fall.
"That became an issue," Anderson said. "We were worried about destruction of evidence."
The rain didn't last, but dusk had started to set in when officers pursuing the suspect found the field where he might be hiding.
Asheville Highway, Howard Gap Road, Old Hendersonville Road and a part of Old Brickyard Road were shut down to keep anyone from getting in or out of the perimeter. Their suspect was surrounded.
Officers "saw the vehicle, they saw the terrain and they knew they were in a high-threat area. They have the tactics and the knowledge to know how to operate in there," Sheriff McDonald said.
At 6:13 p.m. one of the officers heard a gunshot.
"There's no way to know really what that was for sure," Gordon said. "You can assume that he shot at somebody. You can assume that he fired a warning shot. You can assume that he shot himself, but it's all assumptions."
The shot might even be a trap, McDonald said. "You can assume that he's trying to give you a direction to lure you into where he's at."
"You can't bet lives on assumptions," Gordon added. "I don't think that they had completely confirmed that that was the correct vehicle."
The car's license plate was fictitious. It didn't belong to the car or to Warren, but the description of the vehicle was spot on.
"When people got on the scene and determined that, yeah, this is probably legitimate, that we need to focus on this, that became the focus of controlling the situation," Gordon said. "It shifted from Piney Ridge to here so we set up what we call a tactical staging area at the Fletcher Police Department."
With darkness setting in, Gordon made the call to send SWAT team members in the Bearcat out into the field.
The State Bureau of Investigations crime scene team offered to take the Fletcher location, but in order to get investigators safely to the suspect car, the SWAT team had to engage Warren.
"We had to make sure the scene was safe," Gordon said.
The radios went silent. The last transmission at 7:51 p.m. told officers to take cover as the Henderson County SWAT team rolled into the field. Using binoculars, SWAT members surveyed the field from its highest point, ruling out areas as they went along.
"Once they found him, they were close enough that they could see clearly that he was not a threat," Gordon said, "and then the officers deployed out with the paramedic."
Robert Warren was found behind a berm. He was pronounced dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the scene. Two 30-round magazines of ammunition were found near him.
Officers guarding the perimeter stood down and, eventually, were allowed to go home, but the end of a manhunt is like going from 100 mph to a dead stop.
"From the time an incident like this is dispatched until you're ready to get in your vehicle and go home, that whole time period it's basically like you're in a sprint. There's so much to do," Griffin said. "You're constantly running everything through your mind to make sure that everything's been covered… and trying to make plans of what to do next so when you get in the car to go home or once you make it home, it's almost like utter exhaustion sets in. But the problem is, although your body is exhausted, when you go to bed your mind is still wound up… It almost becomes a task to try to get both your mind and your body still long enough to get the rest you need so that you can be proficient at your job."
As horrendous as the crime was, Griffin said, if it had to happen, it happened at the right time of day. The off-going shift stayed on to work over, the oncoming shift was prepped to help and an off-duty shift of patrol officers was called in to resume normal duty and answer calls elsewhere around the county.
"Fletcher Police Department bent over backwards with manpower and assistance and really were very beneficial and actually were the first individual officers to respond to that (car) sighting and lock it down. They did a great job," Gordon said.
Hendersonville Police Department sent officers to help, and other agencies were ready on the sidelines. The Highway Patrol offered its equipment to help with digitally mapping the crime scene. Hendersonville and Mountain Home fire departments offered their manpower and the use of a ladder truck to take aerial photographs.
"Detectives were acting as patrol officers. There were patrol officers at the scene acting as detectives. There were civil process officers working as traffic direction. There were courthouse people working at the crime scene," Anderson said. "All your roles go out the window when something like this happens… Everybody throws their hat off and (says) I'm here as a team."
"You just come help, and that's what cops do. It comes out of our heart," Gordon said.
