Costa Lanta คอสต้า ลันตา : From 3200 Bath. Moo 1 Saladan. Modern design, but: "The rooms are concrete boxes that have large wooden doors that open on two sides. What you can't readily tell from the photos is that the mattress is on the floor & the room (excl bathroom) is only about 50cm bigger than the mattress on each side. Which means you have to have all the doors open to even move around the room comfortably", describes Kram3474 on tripadvisor.com.

I recently stayed at the Carroll Villa Hotel with my husband for a mini getaway after our wedding. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the Mad Batter was delicious we ate their every morning. The room was very clean and updated with a large bathroom. We wish that we could have sent more time but will definitely be returning for another stay.

Great location. I also met the innkeeper Mark who was over board nice. Breakfast rocked the house. So good. Room was great. And the only sweet sound was a horse trotting by the inn...Thank you for a nice visit.

We had a fabulous time in Cape May and enjoyed the services this hotel offered.

First time staying at the Carrol Villa Stayed 2 nights in room 21. Room was clean, and very well decorated! The bathroom was very small and the barhroom door did not close very easily. Happy hour was great!! Those guys were wonderful!! Breakfast and dinner at Mad Batter was Great!! We will return and reccomend to friends and family.

My fiancé and I did a one night stay right after Christmas just to have a mini getaway and loved our stay at the Carroll Villa Hotel. The staff was very nice and always had smiles on their faces. We stayed in a king room which was very nice and everything was spotless. The hotel is in a great location and was walking distance from the restaurants and pedestrian mall. For a Monday night during the off season I was very surprised by how busy it was! We had breakfast at the Madbatter the next morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. The fresh OJ was super yummy! Overall great time in a great town :)

This quaint, 1875 building is immaculate with comfortable rooms, and excellent dining. It's close to the beach and shops in Cape May. The staff, from registration to the bar to the dining room, are all friendly, attentive, and professional. The only drawback is that one has to find a meter to park during the stay. Even though you don't have to pay for a meter, you may have to walk a block or more from the car to the Villa. There is a loading zone available across the street for unloading luggage before finding a parking space. Still, I think this is worth the visit.

Loved Cape May; so much to do even in the cold. Mad Batter restaurant was the best! Breakfast or dinner, the food was great but the nightly entertainment put it over the top! The inn was charming and clean but again the staff made the stay so very nice. Considering a warm month return.

Great B&B with a little Pub and great Breakfast. The Annex Room is on first floor with a balcony which would be great with good weather.The weather our weekend was very cold and windy.

Close to beach. Large rooms. Excellent restuarant - "TheMad Batter". Enjoyed the evening bar with live music. A parking is a real hassle in Cape May. Free public parking is a very long walk from the hotel.

We are glad to know that you enjoyed staying with us. Thank you for your review. We hope you will come back again some day.

Me and my husband have been staying at the Carroll Villa for the past 8 year. We love this bed and breakfast along with the Mad Batter bar happy hour. The parking is not at all accommodating at times especially when you want to leave the local area to explore more of Cape May. A shuttle would be perfect.
Risposta del proprietario
Hello, Thank you for your comments and I am glad to know that you are so pleased with our B&B. We have purchased a golf cart to help with the Cape May parking situation and hopefully this will help to make your next stay more convenient. Thank you for your continued patronage. Mark

Neustadt an der Weinstraße – the heart of Palatinate
Located at the edge of the UNESCO biosphere reserve nature park "Pfälzerwald" (Palatinate Forest) and in the centre of "Deutsche Weinstraße" (German Wine Road), Neustadt is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate with about 52,300 inhabitants. The region is characterised by a number of vineyards and its proximity to French region Alsace.
A mild climate, with an average of 1,850 hours of sunshine a year, enables the growth of figs, almonds and even exotic fruits like kiwis and limes.
The historical old town offers pleasure for everyone, no matter if you prefer to go shopping or to enjoy culinary palatinate specialties. The small and picturesque alleys invite you to discover the numerous cafés, wine taverns, and idyllic courtyards. Hosting the biggest stock of framework houses in Palatinate, the carefully renovated houses can be admired in the whole city.
The 9 vineyard villages, which surround the city of Neustadt and form part of it for 40 years, have been growing wine since Roman times. Inviting vineyards and wineries are delighted about your stay not only during the season of wine festivals from spring until autumn.
The region offers perfect conditions especially for active holiday makers–hiking, cycling, Nordic walking, mountain biking or Segway tours– it's up to you! A tip: combine your day in the nature with a visit of the many sights near Neustadt, e.g. the "Hambacher Schloss" (Hambach Castle).
Neustadt provides the right activity for everybody
The following section is designed for you to get some inspirations for an attractive leisure time programme:
- "Saalbau" (Event and congress hall)
- "Storchenturm" (Stork tower)
- "Elwedritschebrunnen" (Fantasy fountain)
- "Mittelgasse" and "Hintergasse" (Picturesque alleys)
- Historical market square and baroque-style town hall
- "Stiftskirche" (Collegiate church)
- "Kartoffelmarkt" and "Paradiesbrunnen" (Market and Paradise fountain)
- "Scheffelhaus" (Famous building)
- "Haus des Weines" (House of Wine)
- "Stadtmuseum Villa Böhm" (Museum Villa Böhm)
- "Straße der Demokratie" (Street of Democracy) with "Hambacher Schloss" (Hambach Castle)
The staff at ACHAT Premium Neustadt/Weinstraße will be delighted to draw up a current trip programme for you.

Inspectors with the New Mexico Department of Agriculture/Feed, Seed & Fertilizer Section act to ensure compliance with the New Mexico Commercial Feed Act [1] and Rule [2] through routine inspections of feed manufactures, distributors, dairies, ranches, pet stores, and retail establishments. Along with inspections these members of our team provide customer service, education and assist in providing a safe and secure supply of commercial feed for our New Mexico consumers. A great deal of this is accomplished by product sampling and analysis, performed by the NMDA's Office of the State Chemist [3], to insure that guaranteed analysis claims are accurate and product labeling meet standards set forth by the commercial feed act.
In addition, Feed, Seed & Fertilizer inspectors work with the US Food and Drug Administration [4] to monitor Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease" to assure that all cattle operations are in compliance with the BSE Rule [5].

A is for Abacus
As Mason has started on his letter of the week program we made this Abacus from a cardboard box, cheerios and fishing wire. Very simple to make. I attached the wire and let him thread the Cheerios and we counted them as we put them on. He seems to love it, regularly going to his Montessori shelves and laying on his tummy and counting them across.

Thirdstyle Batch Discussion Thread
edited August 2013 in Simfile Review, Design and Development
Okay ladies and gentleman!!!
Our Batch Discussion thread is now open for whatever! (lol)
Our first batch will start this Monday, March 4th, 2013!!! Start discussing things now!!
Our Batch Discussion thread is now open for whatever! (lol)
Our first batch will start this Monday, March 4th, 2013!!! Start discussing things now!!
So what, we bumped it a day?
No, I'm opening the discussion now so that we can all talk about the batch or files we're sending in and what not. Just a pure discussion thread. Batch will still open on Monday at 12:00AM EST>
yoshl Official Back-Up Simfile JudgeGot homestuck music perms, might be sending in Black, also have a couple files that i kinda want to finish off. probably won't get them done in time though
Naw i mean the release date. I thought we were releasing on the 3rd.
Me too, are you just preparing or something? Assessing the send-ins? tell me if I did something wrong when I sent in my simfile, did it need the bpm and picture and whatever?
Okay, since there is some confusion let me explain:
Today, March 3rd, is the final day for SUBMISSIONS to the BATCH. The submission deadline for files to be sent is 11:59PM EST. At 12:00AM EST, March 4th, the batch will commence. Whereas all of the Judges will download the batch and proceed to review all files.
On March 11th, 12:00AM EST, the reviews are due. That is the deadline for Judges to get their notes sent to me so I can put them up in the review thread.
Files accepted from the Batch will be released during the off-batch weeks for enjoyment. I will speak to Tiza to set up a outline of when files should be released and such and will release that information on a FPP from Ichliebekase.
I hope this answers any and all confusion. Again, any more questions please don't hesitate to ask :)
blitZ MemberWill the notes be released though out the week, or will they be announced only on the end of the week?
The notes will be released after the batch is over, not during the week.
Nocturne Simfiler and Freakin Graphics MasterBATCH 1 [March 4th - March 10th]
Powerstars Senior MemberQuestion. How will they be released? Periodically, like once a week?
Doesn't matter, all rejected.
0/10, all of you quit
pff i accept them all 10/10ichliebekase;37219 said:Doesn't matter, all rejected.

eiddiM Official Back-Up Simfile Judge
I'll be honest, I just finished reviewing your charts.cheezpuffs;37534 said:Have you guys even started yet? Or is a secret thing?
You want a peek?
Sorry, not happening!
PS: There's been a great amount of progress made. Fear not. I'm probably being the laziest right now.
/is also not reviewing them in any order and is reviewing them at random.
Batch is officially over guys :) Let the discussion of the notes commence, and im sure they'll be qustions and concerns lol
MFW mine was rejected by a long shot:
So much for that >:(
Also, congrats to the accepted files! It'll be fun seeing more songs in-game!
Batch 002 notes are up in this thread. They are organized a little differently this time; they are organized by song instead of by judge, so all notes for each chart are together and you don't have to go searching for them.
kisler PublisherY'know what's funny about the batch review thread is that it contains just as many useless spoilers-within-spoilers as the old permission list.
Xiz Junior Memberoops forgot to submit. I should really finish my files. hur-dur
That was an older batch from the beginning of the month so you're okay, the next one should be opening relatively soon (but you can submit whenever you're ready and it will still be judging as long as it was submitted properly).
Which, as a reminder to everyone, we will be more strict on the submission rules this time around, including crediting artists, difficulties, etc. The submission rules are very easy to follow and we're not asking for you to jump through hoops for us, but we have gotten a lot of files lately that don't follow even the simplest rules.

Sound Cards for your Homebuilt Computer
A computer's sound card converts digital data into sounds that humans can hear.
The first PC's had no sound card. They did have little tiny speakers, through which users could hear the occasional beeps and alarms that the computers generated, but that was the extent of the sound system.
Nowadays, computer sound cards range from cheap devices that are satisfactory for reproducing operating system and program sounds (opening and closing windows, etc.) and the spoken human voice, to high-end cards that are capable of producing true audiophile-quality surround sound.
There also are specialized sound cards for musicians that are specifically designed to be used with professional audio studio and sound editing equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars. If you're in that line of work, then you probably already know about all the latest goodies for people who make music for a living; so I'm not going to go into detail about professional sound processing equipment for computers.
Choosing a Sound Card
When selecting a sound card for your homebuilt computer, the first question to ask yourself is whether you should bother with one at all. Even inexpensive motherboards usually have integrated (built-in) sound cards that are good enough for the majority of users. You may want to just go with the integrated card, at least until you have a chance to hear it and decide if it's good enough for your needs.
If you're really into music, however, or if you're a gamer and you want to experience the full experience of your games, then you should think about the following factors:
How important is computer sound to you? If you want to listen to (or create) music on your PC, then obviously you should lean toward a higher-end sound card or dedicated audio studio system. So if music is your passion, then consider some of the very best cards.
Are you going to be using your computer to watch movies? Do you like movies with lots of action and special effects? Special effects aren't just visual. There's also intricate sound and music editing that's part of the total experience. But you may miss out on all that if you don't have a high-quality sound card and speakers.
What operating system are you planning to use? Almost any sound card will work with Windows, but if you are using Linux or some other operating system, be sure to make sure that card will work before you plunk down good money for it.
What kind of speakers do you plan to use, and how many? All sound cards have universal connections for two speakers, and many have connections for surround sound and other high-end sound schemes. Some, however, are designed to be used only with specialized speaker systems or editing consoles.
If you are a professional musician, producer, or mixer, then you will want to purchase a sound system that is compatible with your instruments and mixing/recording equipment. Sometimes this means an ordinary MIDI input, but other times you'll need a special interface.
How much do you want to spend? Sound cards vary in price from a few bucks to hundreds of dollars (or even thousands of dollars for high-end break-out boxes).
Integrated Audio
As mentioned previously, almost all motherboards come with integrated (built-in) sound. Depending on the quality and price range of the motherboard itself, on-board audio processors can range from just okay to quite excellent.
Even if the motherboard you're thinking about has decent sound, however, I suggest you also make sure that it has expansion slots. This is because in the event that the on-board audio fails, or in case you later decide to disable the on-board audio and upgrade to an higher-quality sound card, you'll need a slot to accommodate it.
Finally, as I stated before, bear in mind that most on-board audio cards are designed with Windows in mind. If you plan on installing a different operating system either as a sole OS or as part of a dual-boot or multi-boot system, make sure that the on-board sound will work with that OS before you spend any money on the board.

Our Saturday Matinée feature presentation is PressPausePlay, a documentary asking whether our digital culture is producing better art or whether raw natural talent is getting phased out.
The internet is a powerful thing. It has opened doors to places that didn't even exist a few years ago in everything from shopping to playing music. But is the digital age taking away from raw more "acoustic" talent? Are the virtues of a instrumentalist being overlooked for computer musicians? PressPausePlay addresses these questions in its 80 minute documentary, filmed by Swedish creative agency House of Radon. The film contains interviews from the likes of Moby, Zach Hancock and author Andrew Keen amongst others, as well as a whole heap of designers, videographers, photographers and artists.
Where do you stand on the digital vs. acoustic debate on art? Stream it below and let us know.

IDOT looking for community feedback on bridge project
The Illinois Department of Transportation will have an open house Dec. 7 in Winchester to present four possible plans for the bridge that crosses the Illinois River at Florence.
Jeff Myers, program development engineer for IDOT District 6, said there are four options for replacing the bridge, which was built in 1929.
While the bridge still is usable, it is nearing the end of its life expectancy and IDOT would like to have a plan in place once it is able to proceed with a new bridge, Myers said.
"We want to present the options we are moving toward," Myers said. "These are the early options. One is putting it right back where it is, but traffic is a large concern and the bridge would be closed for a couple of years."
The Florence bridge is a lift bridge across the Illinois River that has been closed several times because of mechanical problems or barge accidents.
It sees a lot of use from standard automobile traffic, but also sees a large amount of agricultural traffic, Myers said.
"It's been closed for repairs several times over the years and the detour is somewhat significant," he said. "It is nearing the end of life expectancy. It's not in imminent danger, but we want things ready to go."
Myers said the other options include building a new bridge near the current structure while it remains open for use.
There are four sites that have been looked at as potential locations for the new bridge.
After feedback, IDOT will look at the areas that received the most interest and will discuss the impact to local properties and the environment, Myers said. Information on the impact to properties and the environment will be presented at a later date.
While there isn't an exact timeline for the project, IDOT hopes to have an environmental report done by summer 2019, Myers said.
Once that is done, the department can begin working on the bridge design.
While there is currently no money available to fund the bridge project, IDOT wants to have the preliminary steps done so things can move more quickly once money becomes available, Myers said.
The open house will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 7 in the Nimrod Funk 4-H Community Building at the Scott County Fairgrounds in Winchester.

Oregon state Chief Operating Officer Michael Jordan announced today that the state will officially recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, though it will not allow those marriages to take place in Oregon. Though Oregon's constitution states that "only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or legally recognized as a marriage," Jordan, with guidance from the Oregon Department of Justice, points out that there are a variety of other marriages that are not legal in Oregon, but are still recognized:
The DOJ opinion discusses the difference between Oregon's definition of marriage — as between one man and one woman — and the state's practice of recognizing marriages performed in other states. It describes how Oregon courts have consistently recognized valid out-of-state marriages, even when the marriage could not be performed in Oregon — such as common-law marriages. Although the Oregon constitution might be construed to prohibit recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages, DOJ concludes that such a construction would violate the federal constitution.
This rationale mirrors the argument made by two same-sex couples suing the state of Ohio to have their husbands recognized on their death certificates. Like Oregon, Ohio recognizes marriages from other states that could not be performed in Ohio, because of the age of the spouses or if they are too closely related. To recognize those marriages that were legal in their place of celebration but not same-sex couples' unions is simple anti-gay discrimination. This rationale could hypothetically be applied in many other states with constitutional bans.
Two efforts are underway to undo Oregon's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Activists are currently collecting the signatures necessary for a ballot initiative to repeal the amendment in 2014. Their campaign got off to a great start, suggesting they won't have much trouble reaching their goal. Plus, a May poll found that a plurality of Oregon voters were ready to vote for such a change.
Likewise, two same-sex couples filed suit this week challenging the constitutionality of the ban, joining a host of similar suits in other states.

Medical cannabis patients are urging the federal government to make marijuana more affordable by encouraging insurers to cover it and dropping the sales tax once it is legalized.
Earlier this week, 15 patients from across Canada spoke with four members of the government's legalization task force about how medical cannabis helps them with a variety of ailments. They told the panel that the cost of medical marijuana often causes financial hardship, according to event facilitator Hilary Black, founder of Vancouver's oldest dispensary and current director of patient services at the licensed commercial grower Bedrocan.
The event was sponsored by the Arthritis Society, Canadians for Fair Access to Medical Marijuana and the Canadian AIDS Society, and attended by patients from different backgrounds, including a police officer, a veteran, and a woman whose epileptic son uses cannabis, said Ms. Black.

You will see that I threw together a funny little cartoon toilet with a face, for today's #Kawaii365 project.
Why a toilet?
Because due to an issue with flushing, we had to buy a new toilet today. And Rob's grandpa was nice enough to help us pick it up and install it. I married into an awesome family ^_^
And after the installation, I spent a fair deal of time cleaning up (and there is more to do later). So I took a break and drew this funny cutie.
Why a moustache?
Because this month, I am showing support for #Movember by putting a moustache on each daily kawaii creation. And I appreciate all your suggestions for new ideas! You can comment them below, or email them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Step through the glass doors of Eso Won Bookstore, the landmark but struggling Leimert Park shop specializing in African American titles, and you'll see shelves stacked with civil rights classics by Martin Luther King Jr., poetry by Maya Angelou and important fiction including James Baldwin's "Another Country."
Their ranks will be thinned substantially when co-owner James Fugate switches to more bargain-priced books when restocking his shelves next year in a bid to boost sales. Too much money is tied up in the slow-moving back-list tomes, which sell for $15 or more, he said.
"A lot of the history that we built our store on, that stuff has got to go," said Fugate, who with co-owner Tom Hamilton opened the shop in 1989.
He'll still carry new titles, but most of the older biographies and poetry books are going too. Fugate is going to turn them into cash in a sale in January or February, then use the funds to pay overdue bills and stock up on titles such as a recent edition of "The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings" or a Ralph Ellison biography that he can sell for less than $10.

The German club's general manager says he would not sign Posh's hubby David because he is "being dragged from one catwalk to the other"...
Victoria Beckham is at the centre of a squabble developing between one of Europe's top football teams and her husband DAVID BECKHAM, the MANCHESTER UNITED star.
Uli Hoeness, general manager of current European champions Bayern Munich, has said Victoria Beckham's popstar lifestyle is preventing Beckham being a "good professional". Hoeness has blasted Beckham, the focus of ongoing transfer speculation, saying: "Beckham is a very good player, but how could he be a good professional being dragged from one catwalk to another."
Hoeness also ruled out signing Beckham, valued at £40 million, to Bayern and singled out Victoria Beckham as the reason.
"From a sporting point of view, Beckham would appeal to us very much but not when I think about it and realise it would mean his wife – that Spice Girl – coming with him.
"That would be great for the media, but not for us. We can do without that kind of circus. With all the business with his wife, it would mean FC Hollywood would return here," this morning's UK tabloids report.
It is not the first time Victoria Beckham has been key in transfer speculation involving England captain Beckham. Several weeks ago, Italian premier and billionaire media mogul Silvio Berlusconi offered the sometime Spice Girl her own talk show on one his many television networks in a bid to tempt Beckham to sign for Italian giants AC Milan, the club he owns.
However, Hoeness' words may simply be the first salvo in a psychological war brewing between Bayern and English champions United. The pair meet at United's Old Trafford ground in March in a key tussle in the European Champions' League.

Teachers Immersed in Lowell National Historical Park Resources
LOWELL, MA - This summer the Tsongas Industrial History Center, a partnership of Lowell National Historical Park and its partner, the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Graduate School of Education, hosted an unprecedented four weeks of residential teacher workshops. One hundred and seventeen teachers, selected from nearly 270 applicants, participated in a prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) "Landmarks of American History and Culture" teacher workshop entitled "Inventing America - Lowell and the Industrial Revolution." This workshop is part of NEH's "We the People" project, which promotes the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture through the exploration of significant events and themes in American history. "The Tsongas Industrial History Center consistently provides high quality professional development for teachers. Its contributions to K-16 education are unique, because of
the well-established partnership that exists between the university and the National Park," said UMass Lowell Chancellor Martin T. Meehan.
For each of three weeks, an average of 39 teachers from dozens of different states attended an intensive, week-long workshop at the Tsongas Industrial History Center. Through scholarly presentations from UMass Lowell's faculty and on-site investigations of Lowell's canals, mills, and worker housing as America's first large-scale planned industrial city, as well as through field studies of Old Sturbridge Village, Walden Pond, and Minute Man National Historical Park, workshop participants explored the far-reaching economic and social changes brought about by industrialization. Summer 2009 marks the fourth year in a row in which the Tsongas Industrial History Center has received an NEH Landmarks grant. "The caliber of the educators attending and the talent of the University and National Park staff match up wonderfully in the outcomes of the NEH Workshops. The feedback from the participating teachers illustrates their high regard for what is made available here in Lowell," said Michael Creasey, Superintendent of Lowell National Historical Park.
The Tsongas Center also hosted a week-long workshop for Vermont teachers through a Teaching American History Grant, numerous one-day workshops for other teacher groups, and five weeks of summer camp for students age 8-14.

(Note about selvage stitches (ss): Always slip the first stitch purlwise (with yarn in back) in the beginning of each row and purl the last stitch in the end of each row.).
Lace trimming band: cast on 13 sts and repeat the lace pattern (all 16 rows) 13-14-16-18 times.
Knit (I-cord) or crochet the straps (approximately 16'/40 cm each), or use 1 yard of purchased ribbon.
Assembly: assemble side seams of the bodice and the trimming band using mattress stitch. Pin together upper edges of the trimming and the bodice (right side of the bodice to the wrong side of the trimming). Attach the trimming easing in as appropriate; attach the straps making necessary adjustment. Loosely sew on the tips of the trimming corners to the bodice, otherwise they will stick out. Decorate with a brooch or a corsage flower.

The Sheriff and the Pants Tree: An Old West Story
These men were Pima Indians, who came into town every Saturday during the first years of the 20th century in order to trade. They dressed in the traditional fashion, wearing only a breechclout. This left the rest of their bodies exposed, something the ladies didn't want to see. Whites, Mexicans, and Chinese didn't dress like that, and so they didn't want the Pima dressing like that either.
Hayden came up with a simple solution. He collected a bunch of old pants, hung them up on the branches of a tree just outside town, and told the Pima to put on a pair of pants before coming into town. Once they were done, they'd hang the pants back on the tree and go home dressed in their traditional (lack of) attire. The "pants tree" remained a Phoenix landmark for many years.
Hayden may not have been the first person to think of this. I've heard there was a pants tree outside Tucson as well for visiting Tohono O'odham.
Still the society ladies of Phoenix weren't satisfied. They complained that an old Pima chief was a polygamist, having no fewer than three wives. Sheriff Hayden rode out to visit the chief and told him that he could only have one wife. He had to pick one and tell the other two to go. The old chief thought for a long time. Then he looked at the sheriff and said, "You tell them."
Sheriff Hayden rode off. The chief got to keep his wives.
(Interestingly, a similar story is told about Comanche chief Quanah Parker, so this may just be a tall tale from the fronteir)
Carl Hayden is an Arizona icon. He was born in an adobe home on the Salt River near what is now Phoenix in 1877. His father ran a ferry boat business. Hayden became Maricopa County Sheriff in 1906, dealt with complaints from shocked ladies of society, and got a bit of fame in 1910 for foiling one of the last train robberies in the Old West.
He went on to serve in both houses of Congress for many years before retiring in 1969, the year I was born. It's not much of a stretch to go from the modern day back to a time when bandits robbed trains and half-naked Native Americans shocked the self-appointed guardians of virtue.

The old west really wasn't that long ago, was it?ReplyDelete
What an amazing story! Isn't it interesting how these events seem so far removed, but they really were not that long ago? I think it is.ReplyDelete
Sounds like that Pima Chief was smarter than the sheriff. You never know what someone is going to complain about.ReplyDelete
Didn't those ladies have anything better to do than stare at the Indians?
Love this post. Sheriff Hayden must've been a fascinating man.ReplyDelete
Got something to say? Feel free! No anonymous comments allowed, though. Too many spammers and haters on the Internet.

Anacostia Park Case Study- Kenilworth Marsh
In the park, there is a 50 foot wide strip of wetland that has been relatively unchanged since the early 1900s and probably earlier. Total area is about an acre and a half. Water depths range at high tide from about two feet at one end to about six inches at the other. High and low tides differ by approximately one meter. At the deep water end, the marsh is dominated by broadleaf emergent plants. Grasses, hibiscus, cattails, and shrubs dominate the middle ground. At the high ground area and hummocky areas, pawpaw, turtlehead, ferns, alder, spice bush, viburnum species, blueberries, holly, river birch, and ash are common. Throughout the area, rice cut grass, wild rice,several other grasses, sedges, rushes, cattail, and emergent plants such as sagittaria, pickerel, and Tuckahoe are common.
Over 30 native species of plants are in this wetland, used by deer, muskrat, fox, opossum, raccoon, and a variety of resident and migratory song birds and waterfowl including wood duck. Turtlehead, spice bush, and pawpaw in this wetland provide larval food for three food specific butterflies. (Spice bush also grows in another area of the park.) The flowers in this wetland attract other butterflies and moths as well. Film on the water provides evidence of at least two kinds of bacterial activity. There is one significant invasive species (European water iris). Fresh water mussels have been found in the marsh and adjacent ponds. There has never been a study of the benthic community of the remnant marsh.
The man-made marsh is a product of a partnership that took shape in the early 1990s when the park partnered with the Corps of Engineers, DC Government, and other public and private partners on an ambitious program of "restoring" Anacostia wetlands that had been dredged in a 1930's. Total area reconstructed was about 30 acres in a total wetland area of about 70 acres. There were two reasons for the project. One was to improve water quality flowing from urban areas of Maryland and Washington, DC through the park before it reached the Anacostia River. The other was to improve wildlife habitat.
Of the three constructed tidal marsh areas, one, a low marsh area, has a water depth of nearly three feet at high tide. It remains mostly nuphar.
A high marsh area was made with an initial flooding of about 4 inches. After ten years of vegetation build up, this area frequently floods only along a tidal "gut" or channel. The high marsh area was planted with hibiscus (semi- woody), rice cutgrass, lizard tail (herbaceous), and button bush (woody). An assortment of volunteer plants, some herbaceous, some woody, began growing even before the area was planted. In the first year after planting, the aggressive, non-native purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) and phragmites, along with cattail, wild rice, several broad leaf herbaceous plants, spike rush, sedges, and woody species volunteered in the areas planted. Efforts were made to control the purple loosestrife. In the high marsh, rice cut grass shaded and overwhelmed many of the plantings due to its tendency to form mats. Fourteen species were found in the area after a year. After three years, rice cutgrass, cattails, biddens, and sagittaria (one of several broadleaf herbaceous plants) dominated. After ten years, rice cut grass, cattails, and pickerel weed dominate. The area remains plagued to some extent with loosestrife and phragmites.
A mid marsh area was made to be flooded to a depth of about two feet at high tide. The mid marsh area was planted with an assortment of broad leaf emergent flowering plants, sedges, and blue flag. In this mid marsh area, after a year there was more of a variety (20 species). Of these, about half were planted and half were volunteers. After three years, sedges, blue flag iris and sagittaria dominated. The area still has a good mix of wetland plants, some volunteer, and some planted.
Much of the restored marsh areas are populated by volunteer plants; some like purple loosestrife, phragmites, and cattail are of dubious wildlife value for most wildlife species. Toxicity of the soil was a concern in the restoration and remains a concern, but a study of the sediment done before the restoration showed the levels of pollutants in the soil did not suppress clam reproduction. (Phelps, 1994)
With the exception of mink, groundhogs, and some small species, wildlife roam the entire park and do not limit themselves to either the remnant or restored marsh, and are most often seen (accessibility probably being the reason) in areas that border trails and fields. Long billed marsh wrens, among other birds, beaver, fox, and deer have returned to the park. Some of these species may have been pushed out of developing areas around the park into the park as the last open land in the area.
The benthic or bottom dwelling life in the restored marsh continues to be restricted. Initially, only two species of segmented worms were found. After a year there were five different species found. The bulk of the bacteria activity in the park is still found in the remnant marsh and in pools outside the restoration areas.
After the restoration, aerial photos clearly showed a stream of clear water flowing from the wetland restoration area to the Anacostia River. Water quality varies through the year and depends to some extent on the river flow. Anoxic zones existed in both restored and remnant marsh areas in summer. However fish and other aquatic life continue to live in pools in both areas during low tide and come into the park with high tides. Sediments are building up in the restored and remnant marsh. Beaver are creating channels changing the tidal dynamics and water quality flowing to the Anacostia River in the restored marsh.

While watching Piku I was thinking how a simple look can be so incredibly pretty and pure that it just blows us away! Deepika Padukone's look in Piku is just about that pure beauty in simplicity. Deepika is surely the reigning queen in terms of fashion and style – getting it right each and every time. She is dynamic, independent, contemporary and affectionate.
We loved Deepika's cool architect look in Love Aaj Kal before. That was more an on-the-field, restoration artist kind of look. But Deepika's architect look in Piku is more professional, and a very powerful image of the independent working woman.
She donned a traditional fabric kurta with palazzo pants with mojris. Her accessories carried off casually complete the look – bags, sunglasses, earrings and a scarf.
As a doting daughter when she drove her father, Deepika sports a casual blue t-shirt and almost no makeup. An icing on the cake was her glamorous and exquisitely embossed style sunglasses - from Vogue Eyewear. On checking we found out this to be VO 2897S from Vouge with a unique 3-D floral motif, ideal for a woman seeking accessories at the cutting edge of fashion.
We also adore Deepika's traditional look in a saree. Her red and black striped sari with a gold border, and gold earrings from Senco Gold and thick lines of kajal make-up, gets a wow from us!
Surely her "Eyes speak louder than words",
Deepika's style in Piku is something most of the women can relate to. We think this look of hers shows us that its not just glamour that makes us stand out. Even the simplest of looks can make you look pretty. All we need to do is just be comfortable in our own skin!
You go Deepika!!

|A radar image of asteroid 2010 JL33, generated from data taken by NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar on Dec. 11 and 12, 2010. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
"Asteroid 2010 JL33 was discovered on May 6 by the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, but prior to the radar observations, little was known about it," said Lance Benner, a scientist at JPL. "By using the Goldstone Solar System Radar, we can obtain detailed images that reveal the asteroid's size, shape and rotational rate, improve its orbit, and even make out specific surface features."
Data from the radar reveal 2010 JL33 to be an irregular, elongated object roughly 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) wide that rotates once every nine hours. The asteroid's most conspicuous feature is a large concavity that may be an impact crater. The images in the movie span about 90 percent of one rotation.
At the time it was imaged, the asteroid was about 22 times the distance between Earth and the moon (8.5 million kilometers, or 5.3 million miles). At that distance, the radio signals from the Goldstone radar dish used to make the images took 56 seconds to make the roundtrip from Earth to the asteroid and back to Earth again.
The 70-meter (230-foot) Goldstone antenna in California's Mojave Desert, part of NASA's Deep Space network, is one of only two facilities capable of imaging asteroids with radar. The other is the National Science Foundation's 1,000-foot-diameter (305 meters) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The capabilities of the two instruments are complementary. The Arecibo radar is about 20 times more sensitive, can see about one-third of the sky, and can detect asteroids about twice as far away. Goldstone is fully steerable, can see about 80 percent of the sky, can track objects several times longer per day, and can image asteroids at finer spatial resolution. To date, Goldstone and Arecibo have observed 272 near-Earth asteroids and 14 comets with radar. JPL manages the Goldstone Solar System Radar and the Deep Space Network for NASA.

PPL's Board of Directors would like to extend an invitation to you and your church to join in a special partnership with Presbyterians Pro-Life. We hope that by joining hands and forming deeper relationships with pro-life churches we can ways to enhance our mutual work for the protection of innocent human life.
For 30 years PPL has raised a prophetic witness in the PC(USA) calling our denomination to return to a biblical stand against abortion and to protect every human life, born and unborn. At the same time PPL has been pro-active in providing educational and ministry resources to help pastors and churches cherish life and provide tangible care and ministry to women and families facing difficult pregnancies. It is time to "kick it up" to a new level of commitment and forge strong partnerships with churches like yours.
Download our Partners for Life brochureand share it with the leadership of your church. We particularly encourage Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations to take the steps outlined in the brochure to become a PPL Partner and to allow us the opportunity to clasp hands with you in a new way in this important work! Churches from other denominations may also find a partnership with PPL to be valuable in strengthening your pro-life work in your own community.
If you have any questions, call Marie Bowen, Executive Director or Laureen Bodnar, Associate Director, at the PPL office (412)-487-1990. We hope to hear from you soon!
It is sound advice we have all heard from parents, professors, and pastors. It's the kind of advice we give to our children. Our associations with others have influence on our own behaviors and character. Our associations affect the perception others have of us. Those friendships may assign value to us or de-value us in the eyes of others.
Take, for example, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) and their recent amicus brief presented to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in the Stormans, Inc. (Ralph's Thriftway) v. Selecky (Washington State Department of Health) case. RCRC wants the court to reverse a lower court ruling that affirmed the right of a pharmacist to refuse to fill a prescription (i.e. abortifacient drugs or "morning after pill") based on their religious convictions (e.g. that life in the womb is precious to God). The court's action rightly protected the religious freedom of the individual pharmacist. It was a fair and right judgment upholding the individual's freedom of religion established in our constitution.
That's not the way RCRC sees it. Their organization was founded in 1973 "to safeguard the newly won right to abortion". They do this, according to their mission statement, by bringing "the moral power of religious communities to ensure reproductive choice through education and advocacy." One of the ways they do this is by promoting the faulty concept that abortion is an expression of a woman's faith. Choose your friends carefully! Do we really want to be associated with an organization that sees the chemical execution of a child in the womb of its mother as a religious practice that ought to be protected? Sounds a little like human sacrifice to me.
One might argue that religious freedom is rightfully limited when the life of another human being is threatened by its practice. RCRC tries to use that very argument to say that a pharmacist has no right to refuse participation in a chemical abortion on religious grounds, because doing so would impinge on the woman's "religious freedom regarding personal health care." (Amicus Brief, p. 11) At the risk of sounding like an anti-abortionist activist: "Abortion is NOT health care!" Abortion ends the life of the child and endangers the woman's long-term emotional and physical health. Where is the health, or the care, in that?
There is some hope that we are learning something in the PC(USA) about such friends.On a positive note, the three entities of the PCUSA who hold memberships in RCRC (Washington Office, Women's Ministries, and Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options) DID NOT SIGN this amicus brief. I am grateful for that. It gives me hope that my denomination is gaining respect for my conscience and convictions as a pro-life Presbyterian. In fact, only one Presbyterian Pastor's name appears--Reverend Mary Robinson-Mohr, St. James Presbyterian Church, Bellingham, Washington-whose name is included with a number of Washington State Clergy and two Planned Parenthood chaplains. The list is posted on the RCRC website.
Still the PC(USA) name does not totally escape association with the weak and faulty arguments presented by RCRC in this amicus brief. "Women's Ministries of the Presbyterian Church (USA)" is listed on page 11 as one of the organizations that believes persons ought to be free to "exercise their moral agency and religious freedom when receiving health care." The statement alone is not a bad statement. In this context of defending abortion as a 'religious freedom,' however, the association is dreadful. Choose your friends carefully!
The "Presbyterian Church" name is used again on page 13 as one of several denominations that support "'full and equal access' to health care consistent with a woman's decisions." The footnote references the 1992 Report of the Special Committee on Problem Pregnancies and Abortion. The actual wording in the 1992 report [p. 13, (6) b.] is "full and equal access to contraceptive methods" (underline mine). Contraceptive methods which prevent fertilization of the egg by the sperm differ fundamentally from abortifacient methods such as the "morning after pill", which end the life of a fertilized embryo---a genetically complete individual.
Choose your friends carefully. Others will judge you by their words as well as your own. Perhaps even more disturbing is RCRC's youth initiative SYRF (Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom). For example, would you want your teenager to have a friend who encouraged him or her with this message found on the SYRF website?
Learn more about how to put your faith into action on campus, in your community, and your congregation.
Make birth control pills affordable!
I would rather see our youth in a friendship with Tony Perkins of Family Research Council who wrote this week in an email newsletter article, "Condom Culture".
"It continues to astound me that our society is willing to tell kids to abstain from the dangers of drinking or smoking but not premarital sex. If America is truly committed to disease prevention, and the emotional well-being of our teens, then we must be committed to abstinence--the only method that works 100% of the time."
Sadly, Perkins is right. Society failing our youth, but too often, so is the church. What message is the PC(USA) sending to our youth through our association with "friends" such as RCRC and SYRF?
Choose your friends carefully. The PC(USA) has some embarrassing friends. Maybe it's time to change friends!

Routing requests across clusters on Linux
The HTTP Server plug-in that comes with IBM WAS is typically used to balance requests for applications across members of the cluster. While an application can be mapped to more than one cluster, automatic plug-in generation does not provide routing or balancing traffic for the same application across multiple clusters. Multiple cluster environments with shared applications therefore cannot rely solely on WAS automatic plug-in generation to be able to route requests using a web server. One option in this scenario is developing a customized method for defining and maintaining the plug-in configuration file used by the Web server to provide for the required routing of user requests. An important consideration in a multiple cluster environment is ensuring that all subsequent HTTP requests for an end user are routed to the same cluster that processed the first HTTP request. The WebSphere Portal login processing depends upon preserving this cluster affinity during this initial time until the user has successfully logged in and session cookies maintain affinity. In order to guarantee that affinity is preserved during login, set the Navigator Service public.session parameter to a value of true. Refer to "Portal Configuration Services" for information on how to configure this parameter.
