Small Home. Big Style.
A young designer's cottage, full of things she adores

- 1 of 30
These are some of the things designer Berkley Vallone loves: cake plates, mirrors, French soap labels, the color pink, Coco Chanel, antique teacups, Fornasetti plates, and, well, you get the picture. Berkley is one exuberant young woman. The daughter of a designer, Berkley turned designer herself and says the most important thing she tells clients is to "find things you love, and we'll make them work."
"Love" is the operative word for what's inside Berkley's own two-bedroom cottage. She's passionate about everything here—including husband Ken and their son, Cash. Purchased as a bachelorette pad when she came home to Scottsdale from New York a decade ago to form Vallone Design with her mother, Donna Vallone, the house was renovated before she even met Ken. "And now we're exploding out of my bachelorette pad!" she laughs.
Built in 1985 on the lush grounds of a vaguely Moroccan 1920s resort hotel, the house had a somewhat choppy floor plan. With typical enthusiasm, Berkley couldn't resist moving every wall, pipe, and wire—right down to repositioning the front door.
Visitors arriving at that new glass-and-steel front door are greeted by a visual allée guiding the eye straight through to a beautiful backyard garden filled with whimsical chaises, striped awnings, and grass-green pillows. But the real color riot is inside.
"When I design for other people, I don't always use this much color. But for me? I love to be surrounded by color," says Berkley. "I think that comes from my mom, who's a master. I grew up in a house with lots of vibrant fabrics; it obviously made an impression!" Snappy throw pillows top every seat in this house—"I'm constantly moving them around and changing them," she says—and artwork seems to cover every available vertical surface.
The art collection began when Berkley started buying her classmates' work while studying at New York's School for the Visual Arts, but the living room's focal point isn't some starving student's masterpiece. It's dominated by an oversized climate zone map that hangs above the sofa. "It's a vintage school map," Berkley explains. "I love the big scale. It's the perfect size and it's got blue, orange, pink—all the colors of the living room. It was more about colors than subject matter."
But mastering color entails knowing where to hold back, too. Once she'd finished her architectural tweaking, Berkley gave the walls of the main living space a coat of bright white, then installed contrasting ebony-stained wood floors. "I imposed the same rules here that I do with clients," she says. "You start with classic bones, classic furniture, and white walls, then you add color with accessories and art. I like to bring in the things that speak to me."
On a 30th birthday trip to Paris, Berkley happened on a flea market jumble of oversized letters from the side of an old German bank building. Back home, she tried arranging them in something comprehensible for her living room wall. When Ken visited for the first time, he found the message she'd settled on quite compelling—"KISS ME."
Berkley has a thing for numbers and letters. There's the red "77" (her birth year) hung high on a wall and the gorgeous Louis Vuitton trunk/cocktail table she couldn't resist because it was embossed with a "B." Little Cash looks up from his changing table at an alphabet needlepoint by artist Paul Smith.
Ken playfully inquires whether their home might someday be a little less girly, but it's hard to see Berkley giving up the vintage Barbie prints over her tub or the big pink ottoman anchoring the dressing room anytime soon. Judging by her gilt-edged powder room, fabulous small spaces may be her forte. She admits she likes to "go a little crazy" in powder rooms, and the high-wattage gold chinoiserie scene on the walls in hers might be the room's most subdued element. Berkley even gold-leafed the baseboards and ceiling in fond genuflection to Bemelmans Bar in Manhattan's famed Carlyle hotel. "I've always loved that bar; it's so sparkly and decadent."
Even though she, Ken, and Cash are starting to burst out of her once single-girl space, she doesn't think she's prepared to let go. "I love coming home here. I'm not ready to leave, not just yet."

Another former Colorado player makes NBA — remember Chris Copeland?
BOULDER – Chris Copeland completed his eligibility at Colorado almost six years ago, but he has made the 15-player roster of the New York Knicks, making him one of the NBA's most unlikely rookies. He will turn 29 years of age in March.
Copeland, a 6-foot-8 forward from Richmond, Va., averaged 7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds during his college career (2002-06). After leaving CU, Copeland played in European leagues for teams in Belgium, Germany and Spain. He also played for Fort Wayne of the NBA's D-League, but earned his spot on the Knicks roster with his play on the team's summer league squad, where he averaged 13.8 points.
Copeland became the fourth former CU player on a current NBA roster — the first time ever for the school to have four in the pros in the same season. He joins joins Chauncey Billups (L.A. Clippers, injured), Alec Burks (Utah Jazz) and Cory Higgins (Charlotte Bobcats).

Canadian Art
Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
The WAG collects contemporary production in a plethora of mediums, such as drawing, collage, sculpture, installation, and video. However the majority of the collection is equally divided between a representation of prints and painting.
The focus of the Contemporary Canadian art collection is on work created by artists from the Prairies, particularly Manitoba. These works range from figurative to abstract, from surrealist to highly expressive. The subject matter represented in this collection is equally diverse. Over the past decade, Winnipeg has been identified as a cultural hub and this hot bed of talent is characterized by local artists' penchant for experimentation. A number of works in the Gallery's collection are excellent examples of the exceptional work created by Winnipeg artists who have gained serious recognition nationally and internationally. Key acquisitions have included pieces by the Royal Art Lodge, Cliff Eyland, Aganetha Dyck, Wanda Koop, and Eleanor Bond. Through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program, the WAG has been fortunate to acquire a number of important works from living artists who have a connection to Manitoba. Recent additions include an impressive painting by Janet Werner and a major multi-media installation by Zachary Longbow. The past five years of collecting activity have also been dedicated to increasing the representation of women artists in the collection and several acquisitions have been sought after and successfully obtained with this directive in mind. The Gallery also collects work in a variety of media by Canadian and international artists that expands and complements this regional representation.

The $35,000 Best Buy from BMW gets reviewed by Car and Driver.
Sporting a TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine, the new 2013 BMW 320i Sedan went on sale this Spring. The 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine produces 180 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 200 lb-ft of torque from 1,250 rpm – 4,500 rpm. 0-60 mph acceleration for the 320i Sedan is estimated to require only 7.1 seconds with either transmission choice. Top speed is an electronically-limited 130 mph.
The 320i with the ZSP and ZMT packages can give a customer the ultimate sedan for an acceptable price. Fuel consumption is also astonishing: city/highway 24/36 mpg EPA.
Here is an excerpt from the review:
But mid-range acceleration is really the only sacrifice the 320i asks of its driver. From a stop, the short first and second gears of the eight-speed automatic assure that there's plenty of punch. The 320i doesn't start falling significantly behind the 328i until it reaches 50 mph. Fifty-to-70-mph passing times are a second slower in the 320i, so the freeway merge requires a bit more planning.
The rest of the car is just like a 328i, from the quiver-free structure to the noisy idle of the four-cylinder to the spastic startup every time it awakens after shutting down at a stoplight. Weight distribution (50/50 front/rear) remains unchanged, as does the flavorless steering feel. It's a new 3-series to the core. Avoid the temptations of the optional power leather seats, sunroof, and navigation system, and you'll still get every bit of what's great about the 3-series.
To improve the driving experience, though, try the $1300 Sport package that adds staggered 18-inch wheels with summer tires and an M Sport–tuned suspension. A choppier ride is a minor trade-off for quick reflexes and unshakable stability. We measured 0.87 g on the skidpad, which isn't very impressive, but all of that grip is usable on freeway ramps or canyon roads.

Killiney, the Enter key is either marked with the word 'Enter', or is that upside-down L-shaped key on your picture with the arrow formed by a short line going straight down, then at the bottom going off to the left, and ending in an arrowhead. On some computers, it'll have both. It's usually the equivalent to pressing a highlighted OK button, but in the command prompt you don't have an OK button; you have to use the keyboard for literally everything.
Do you have a more computer-literate friend who could visit you (or to whom you could give your laptop to to receive assistance for a few days) and follow these instructions? Having to describe the keys on the keyboard is extremely basic stuff, and the malicious software you have on board is requiring some very complex fix procedures to be followed.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not in the least unwilling to help, but my greatest fear is that you're going to inadvertently do something I don't ask for, with the result that your computer ends up even more damaged.
I think you've got what we call a 'rootkit' - that's something that works its way into the guts of your computer and then hides itself before doing anything else, to make its activities as undetectable as possible.
There's probably a tool to fix it, but given that you're having difficulty following the most basic of instructions (sorry, not trying to be rude), getting you to run some of them might be a very scary experience.
Let me know how you want to proceed......

I know Angoid is our technical administrator and he loves computers and the like, but it's not really fair to ask him to put in all this time to solve your problems.

When you are at a speciallist forum, the one posting the help, is not the only one reading your topic.
If the helper posts something even slightly likely to case harm, more people would have the knowledge to be able to step in and make sure you got correct advice.
This is not to say that Angoid would not have provided 1st class assistance to you, but like they say 2 heads, even cod heads, are better than one.
Most of the speciallist forums are overwhelmed with victims of malware, so which ever one you go to, be patient as it could take up to a week to get an expert who is free to help you.
Angoid mentioned my own forum, and you have had "suggest a fix" also mentioned to you. My own forums waiting time is over a week
Here are 2 lists of such forums.

Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer: version 0.3 released
[Update: If you are here looking for a way to see blocked tasks, then take a look at version 0.6 which already has this feature]
[Update: Version 0.4 released]
[Update: Found an issue with expand/collapse all not working on Internet Explorer. Released 0.3.1 to fix this issue. Download at the bottom]
This is the third release of my TFS Task Board Enhancer, a TFS Web Access 2012, that adds some features to the task board.
I've blogged about version 0.2 on the post Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer: More Features and about version 0.1 on the post Team Foundation Task Board: Auto Refresh
In this version I've added one small feature, the ability to expand/collapse all requirements with a single click. By collapsing all the requirements will be collapsed, hiding all the cards associated with the requirements. The expand all has the reversed effect allowing you to see all cards at once.
please take notice that the expand all/collapse all doesn't respect the Person filter, so things can get a little strange when used in when the Person filter is enabled.
on the previous version I've added the ability to add work item ids to the cards and the requirements, but the on the requirements the ids were only visible if the requirement was expanded.
on this version it's also visible if the requirement is collapsed
The design of the filters was also changed so it is more consistent with Web Access.
On the previous version the filters (refresh all and maximize workspace) was visible near the tabs and enabled/disable with a checkbox. Not they have been moved into the filter zones, to be more consistent with the general UI
Feature List
To recap all features the extension has
- Auto Refresh – Automatically refresh the board at a predetermined rate. Great to show the board on a big un attended wall board for all the team to see.
- Maximize the workspace – removes the cruft (visual cruft) from the screen, allowing you to only see the board itself, by hiding the menus. nice to be used in conjunction with the auto refresh
- Add work item id to the items– The work item ids are not visible on the cards or on the requirements. If you want to know the work item ids you need to open the card/requirement. This automatically adds the work item ids to the cards and requirements.
- Expand/Collapse All – easily expand or collapse all requirements
Know Issues
If you click on a requirement (while expanded) Web Access will open the work item editor. when the editor is closed the work item id is lost (visually). This is the standard web access behavior and I've still haven't found a decent workaround to recover from the fact that the work item title has been re-drawed (event if it's not changed or saved).
How to get it?
Update: Version 0.3 had a small issue. The expand all/collapse all was not working in Internet Explorer.
This has ben fixed in version 0.3.1
Download version 0.3.1 of the extension
if you have doubts how to install it, it's fully explained in a previous post Team Foundation Task Board: Auto Refresh

At GOP outreach dinner, Obama picks up the tab
Updated 1:40 a.m. EST March 7, 2013
As part of his effort to improve relations between the White House and Capitol Hill, President Obama dined with a small group of Republican senators this evening and, according to the White House, he paid for the dinner out of his own pocket.
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; John Hoeven, R-N.D.; John McCain, R-Ariz.; Bob Corker, R-Tenn.; Mike Johanns, R-Neb.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Richard Burr, R-N.C.; Dan Coats, R-Ind., Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; and Pat Toomey, R-Pa.; are among the senators who joined the president for dinner tonight. The group dined at the Jefferson Hotel a few blocks from the White House.
"The president greatly enjoyed the dinner and had a good exchange of ideas with the senators," a senior administration official said.
Johnson concurred, saying, "It was an excellent dinner. It was a genuine, sincere open discussion of the fiscal problems facing the nation."
Johanns said he felt the president was trying to "start a discussion and kind of break the ice" on how to move forward in dealing with the repeated budget battles that keep cropping up.
"Most of the meeting was spent on budget and the way forward and his goal is ours," he said. "We want to stop careening from crisis to crisis and solving every problem by meeting the crisis deadline."
"I think he's very sincere, I think he wants to try to figure something out," Johanns added.
Hoeven described the tone of the dinner as "very positive, encouraging, candid, focused on 'how do we come together?'
"Now we didn't solve that tonight, but there was a real commitment, I think by everybody there to figure out how we do come together and that's why we need these kind of discussions and that's why we need more of them."
- Obama's schmoozing the GOP again
- House passes stopgap funding bill, fate in Senate uncertain
- Complete coverage: The sequester
In continuing his outreach, Mr. Obama will join Senate Republicans at a lunch meeting next Thursday. The president is also planning separate meetings with House Republicans and House Democrats next week.
"Senate Republicans welcome the President to the Capitol," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement. "And I appreciate he took my recommendation to hear from all of my members."
Mr. Obama requested the lunch meeting with Senate Republicans through his chief of staff on Tuesday. He's also requested an opportunity to visit the House GOP and Democratic caucuses on Capitol Hill to talk about his legislative priorities.
With Washington mired down in budget talks, Mr. Obama has been reaching out not just to congressional leaders, but also to rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans in an effort to find what he calls a "caucus of common sense." He recently reached out, for example, to a small group of Republican senators including Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn.
Earlier today, House Republicans passed a bill to fund the government through September. If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund the government before March 27, federal government operations have partially shut down. Both Democrats and Republicans have said they want to avoid a shutdown, though some Democrats and the White House say they are deeply concerned about the House Republican bill, which keeps in place most of the sequester cuts that recently went into effect.
CBS News' Jillian Hughes contributed to this report.

Denver Art Museum shows Madeleine Albright's pins and collectible jewelry to buy
When I visit a museum and see a wonderful group of paintings or sculpture, I don't necessarily want to go out and buy that artist's work.
It's enough to admire it as it hangs on display, carefully lit and labeled. But when a museum is exhibiting fashion or jewelry, my acquisitive nature kicks in. And nowhere has that reflex been triggered with more force lately than the dual shows on display at the Denver Art Museum: "Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective" and "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection."
Of course, museum types, clever creatures that they are, understand this about human nature and have wisely stocked the gift shop to the gills with all sorts of clothing, accessories and jewelry.

At an invitation-only education summit held at the White House last week, Oregon Tech, represented by president Chris Maples, was among 80 colleges that were asked to present ideas to encourage economically challenged students to attend and achieve success in college.
Oregon Tech currently partners with South Metro-Salem STEM and Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland to provide mentoring, college advising workshops, and tuition assistance to encourage students to go to college. A personalized text-messaging campaign to increase STEM course-taking and achievement among underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged students is being developed at Oregon Tech in collaboration with Harvard researchers Ben Castleman and Lindsay Page.
First Lady Michelle Obama commended Oregon Tech for this text-messaging proposal in her address at the summit, saying, "Every school has advisers who desperately want their students to succeed. Oregon Tech is committing to set up a text-message program so that these advisers can easily connect to these students who need some extra encouragement or academic support."
Maples expressed excitement over the recognition and eagerness to begin work on the project, stating, "It's an honor to be one of only two schools recognized by name at the event, and I am very excited to have a chance to work with Ben and Lindsay on a way to encourage more economically disadvantaged students to attend and finish college."
This proposal builds on Oregon Tech's existing efforts to make college more accessible and affordable, such as providing OWLS scholarships for completing nine hours of college-level STEM courses. Over the past seven years, Oregon Tech has provided discounted college courses to 8,000 students, helping them save more than $3 million in tuition.

Pidgin 2.0 (formerly GAIM) Review
Posted on Tuesday, 8th of May, 2007 12:08 am by NightSpirit
ars technica have posted up a review of the multi-platform IM client, Pidgin 2.0. Pidgin was formerly known as GAIM but from this release it has been renamed to avoid legal troubles with AOL. Aside from the name change, many things have been improved and polished including a more user-friendly and visually enhanced layout plus extensive plugin and scripting support.
It is still missing video & voice which will affect some people but for the majority of others it could prove a very nice alternative to single-protocol and ad/spy-ware filled clients.

ZombieNexus Newsletter - January 2007
Posted on Sunday, 28th of January, 2007 12:23 pm by NightSpirit
Once again, it's been a very quiet period here at ZombieNexus - except for the deletion of spam posts The next version of the site is still being worked on, tho, which should solve all the problems I have with the site currently.
The problem with ZBNv4 has always been the size of the project. Coding additions to an existing project (PHPBB) is far easier than junking everything and building from scratch - even more so than I originally thought. Fortunately, I have finally been given something at work that actually tests my skills recently in the form of building a knowledge base and reporting tool for our online systems to replace the chaotic mixture of several email logs, piles of print outs and verbal communication. Technically this was a smaller and more focussed project than ZBNv4 and thus I switched most of my energy on this to improve my coding skills.
The biggest thing I got out of this was that I finally learned the point of object-oriented coding. As I tried to improve efficiency and maintenability of my code I found I was mostly writing in an OO style anyway. The bad news from this is now I am taking a jump backwards for ZBNv4 in having to re-write the code to use the classes that I have written for the work project. Hopefully tho, this will enable me to move forward faster with ZBNv4

Firefly: the MMORPG

Thanks to Adam for this link.
It seems that Multiverse, a software company, have managed to secure the rights to create an MMORPG based on the Firefly universe. The good news being that it will bring this exciting universe to a wider audience (if done correctly), the bad news being that FOX are involved it again so very well may screw it up like they did to the TV series
I havn't had time or desire to play a MMORPG since getting bored with Star Wars Galaxies but will be keeping an eye out for this one to see how it develops.

Its been a long time since I posted any news, but I wanted to share a cool new game I have been playing:
Its hard to describe. Its sort of a more tactical version of gravity wars, with quite cool Tron style graphics and a prety nice online play system whereby you join a faction and fight over territory. Like I said, hard to describe. Join the open beta and try for yourselves. Oh and I'm "FraZor" on the blue faction.

In case any of you also missed it, the gold demo for Football Manager 2007 was released last weekend. It comes in two flavours (one cut-down version without photos/commentary/sounds etc and one with lots more content), for both Windows and Mac. The demo only allows you to play for 6 months but is save-game compatible with the full release.
The following page lists more information as well as listing a whole bunch of mirrors to download the version of your choice.

Get Hasslehoff to Number 1

This was passed on to me by Adam as a cause worthy of some attention
It's a campaign to gather 75,000 people willing to purchase David Hasslehoff's new single inorder to award him the number 1 spot in the UK chart. I've never personally heard any of his records but judging by the rubbish that seems to count as popular music these days I'm sure it's no worse. Afterall, if My Blobby can have a number 1 single, why can't the Hoff?

No, you havn't really won the lottery
Posted on Sunday, 10th of September, 2006 10:19 am by NightSpirit
Fortunately, my sister does listen to some of the things I say. So when she recieved an email telling her she'd won £62,000 on the national lottery she was quite skeptical despite the fact that she does play the online lottery. Unfortunatly for her, it was a phising attempt and not genuine at all. It had many of the hallmarks of a fraud email by not using her real name, asking to send details that they'd already have to an irrelevant email address etc.
Once again, it is important to remind people not to trust these kind of emails. Real companies would never ask you to respond to an email with personal/payment details etc.

Spam + Blogs = Trouble
Posted on Thursday, 7th of September, 2006 1:38 pm by NightSpirit
I read this wired article a few days ago, but since I've had two spammers seemingly going out of their way to get round my spamfilter today I thought it appropriate to post it.
The article mainly focusses on splogs which are basically sites that appear to be blogs except that they are just full of keyword spam, often found by grabbing excerpts from genuine blogs. Then they use their network of bots to abuse commenting and other features in blog software to link to these sites - all to earn themselves advertising money.
Unfortunatly, spamming remains relatively unpunishable and there are still naive surfers that fall for their tactics. Thus there really is very little insentive for these people to stop abusing technology for their own personal gain at the cost of polluting the internet with their rubbish and defacing sites of others. It is an ongoing battle for us webmasters as even CAPTCHAS (the wobbly text against the background used for validating new accounts or guests posts on this site) are now ineffective against them.

ZombieNexus Newsletter - September 2006
Posted on Tuesday, 5th of September, 2006 12:42 am by NightSpirit
Once again, it has been a while since I've posted an update. However, since work on ZBN v4 has taken over the vast majority of my free time lately (to the detriment of several other things) it seems a good idea to do one now.
While there is still quite a bit to do, the hard part is over - I've pretty much decided on the structure behind the new version and so now as the site starts to develop I'm not constantly going back and re-doing things in a different way. This was the stumbling block that held me back for an awful long time.
So, what HAVE I actually done so far?
Changes behind the scenes
Basically ZBNv4 has been built up from scratch to keep the code as simple as possible. While PHPBB is an exceptional project, it is written in a way which requires several layers of abstraction which is something we do not require here. Several parts still remain, particularly the database communication functions, most of the general functions, some anti-hacking safeguards and the core of the database. Everything else has been left out, including the templating system, language abstraction, most of the code that drives the pages and also the general look and feel that PHPBB sites have.
The HTML output of the pages has also been drastically improved. This has multiple benefits the main one being much cleaner, efficient, informative and relevant data sent to the browser or search engine bot.
All new look and feel
ZBN v4 will look very different from the live site you see now. The design has evolved from a concept sent to me by Frazor last year. The main requirement was to ensure that all parts of the site look like they belong together within a more polished and stylish layout. While my design talents are far from great, I am certainly happy with the current result. My youngest sister has also agreed with me but I suppose the real test is when I allow many more eyes to view it
The main design will obviously contain much of our trademark green. For those that are perhaps a bit sick of green or would prefer a more work-friendly design, ZBNv4 will have alternate 'skins' available - if not at release date then hopefully shortly after. Skins in ZBNv4 are basically CSS files and images to go with the design. This means that there are no pesky HTML templates to worry about and so creating new skins should be much easier and usually not require any changes when the code is updated.
For those not familiar with the power of CSS files, take a look at the css Zen Garden to see what can be accomplished with them.
Improvements to Articles
One of the biggest criticisms I recieved from people with v3 (apart from the speed at which I worked) was that the article system was rubbish. Unfortunatly, this was quite true as while it did work, it was far from user-friendly and the structure behind it was pretty embarrasing. Fortunatly, with v4 this is very different. While I have yet to write the posting side, the structure, display and theory are all in place.
In v4, there will be a lot less of a difference between news, topics and articles. This is mainly because of the fact that we'll be posting much less linking news so articles will remain on the portal for longer naturally. Also, if someone wants to post a quick article it's much better if it's as easy as posting a regular topic instead of having to make up a short description, uploading an icon, writing the main page text seperately and then going through an approval process as with the current system.
More to come
There is obviously much more to come, although I'll not go into detail on them until they are done. I am hopefull that with the base I have created so far, work will continue in a rapid fashion as it has done over the last few weeks.
X3 News
Posted on Wednesday, 30th of August, 2006 12:02 am by NightSpirit
It's been a while since I played X3, but it seems that quite a bit has happened since then. I recieved an email newsletter earlier which brought some exciting news.
Firstly there is the bonus pack which contains several upgrade scripts written by the X3 community and packaged for easy installation.
Then there is an announcement of a new official update from Egosoft entitled X3 2.0: Bala Gi Research Missions which will include a new player head quarters, new ships, new missions and a variety of other enhancements and due for release later this year.
Also there is an interview with the two creators of one of the biggest mods to come from the community: the Deadly Ship & Station mod. Which introduces numerous ships, an asteroid base with an extensive command list and many new and meaningfull missions.
There certainly seems to be quite a few good reasons to fire up the game again so will have to dig out my copy once I need a break from coding

MONTEVALLO, Ala. - For the second time in 11 days, the Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team has handed a Peach Belt Conference west division leader its first home loss of the season. On Feb. 2 it was a 94-82 victory at Young Harris. On Wednesday night, the Hurricanes defeated Montevallo, 73-68, in the BankTrust Arena.
Jamon Hawkins provided the spark for GSW with a career-high 28 points on 8 of 9 shooting. Hawkins connected on all four of his 3-point attempts and was 8 of 9 from the free throw line.
GSW has climbed back over the .500 mark with a 12-11 overall record, won five in-a-row and evened its PBC record at 8-8. Montevallo has lost two in-a-row and sits at 15-8 overall and 11-5 in the PBC, a game back of Young Harris in the loss column of the west division standings.
The teams played an even first half on Wednesday with the score tied 27-27 at the break.
The second half saw more of the same competitiveness. Montevallo grabbed its largest lead of the night - six points - at 37-31 with 16:18 to play. GSW remained close and eventually regained the lead, 52-50, when Daryl Davis converted a pair of free throw attempts with 7:28 remaining. The Hurricanes could not extend the margin to more than two and Montevallo took the lead back with 4:06 to go on a Troran Brown layup.
GSW responded and secured the lead for good, 65-63, on a Matt Shaw jumper with 1:58 on the clock. The Hurricanes connected on 6 of 8 free throws in the closing moments to ensure the win and Alan Arnett put an exclaimation point on the victory with his dunk with four seconds remaining.
Southwestern shot 59 percent from the floor in the second half and Hawkins scored 22 of his 28 points over the final 20 minutes. The Hurricanes have been over 50 percent in the second half in 15 of their 23 games this season with an 11-4 record in those games.
Montevallo entered the evening ranked first in the PBC in shooting percentage and 3-point shooting, but came short of their season averages against the 'Canes. The Blue & Gold held Montevallo to 42.4 percent shooting (averaging 49.5 percent) and 30.6 from beyond the arc (averaging 43.7 percent).
Shaw and Davis joined Hawkins with double-digit scoring performances for the Hurricanes. Shaw chipped in 14 and Davis added 11. Michael Tankersley grabbed a team-high 8 rebounds.
GSW won the battle of the boards, 31-22, and outscored Montevallo in bench points, 20-4.
UM's Troran Brown led all scorers with 31 points. It's the most points by an individual against GSW this year. Drico Hightower added 13 points. Marvin Fitzgerald finished with a double-double after scoring 12 points and pulling down a game-high 10 boards.
The Hurricanes return to Americus for Saturday's homecoming game against Augusta State at 3:30 p.m.

Infiniti's new G35 sedan boasts all the hallmarks of a true sports sedan: powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, sports suspension, performance tires, excellent brakes, and driver-oriented cockpit.
It's practical, offering more interior space than other cars in the so-called near-luxury class. And it costs less than a BMW 330i.
The Infiniti G35 sedan clearly lives up to its claim as a sports sedan. Its handling is better than the front-drive Acura TL Type-S. It's more powerful than the TL Type-S, BMW 330i, Lexus IS 300, or Mercedes-Benz C320. Infiniti's daring design, with stacked headlamps, catamaran fenders, and short overhangs should make the G35 appealing to drivers who want something different.
The 2003 Infiniti G35 is a totally new model line and includes a four-door sedan and a two-door sport coupe. The sedan was introduced in March 2002, while the coupe is being launched in fall 2002.
All G35s will be equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, four-wheel independent multi-link suspension, Vehicle Dynamic Control anti-skid technology, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, Brake Assist, and Electronic Brake force Distribution.
Sedans are offered in two trim levels, cloth and leather. The base G35 sedan ($27,100) comes with cloth upholstery, 16-inch wheels, and a long list of standard features. The leather model ($28,950) adds leather upholstery, an eight-way power driver's seat, unique 17-inch alloy wheels with P215/55VR17 tires, steering wheel audio controls, and dual-illuminated visor vanity mirrors. The leather model with optional sunroof ($1,000) is expected to be the most popular.
Option packages for the sedan: Premium Package ($2200) includes a Bose premium audio system, dual climate control with rear vents, driver's seat memory, a power passenger's seat, reclining rear seats, automatic headlights, Homelink universal transceiver for opening garage doors and turning on house lights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Sport-Tuned Suspension Package ($425) adds an upgraded sport-tuned suspension, unique five-spoke sport-alloy wheels, 17-inch high-performance tires, and a titanium-trimmed interior center console. Aero Package ($550) includes a rear spoiler and underbody aerodynamic side fairings.
Sport Coupes come as two models, Luxury and Sport. Available equipment includes a dual sliding glass sunroof with one-touch open/close feature, DVD navigation, Bose premium audio. An Aero Package includes a rear wing and rear side diffusers. There's a Brembo Brakes Package, a Premium Package, and a Winter Package with heated front seats and heated outside mirrors.
Standard safety equipment for all G35s includes dual-stage front air bags, side-impact curtain airbags for front and rear passengers, side-impact thorax airbags. Active safety features include antilock brakes (ABS) for maintaining steering control, electronic brake force distribution (EBD) for shorter stopping distances, an electronic stability program (VDC) to keep you on the road, and Brake Assist to maintain full braking force in an emergency stopping situation even if you accidentally relax brake pedal pressure.
Bold, avant-garde styling sets the Infiniti G35 apart and eliminates any chance of taking on that anonymous look of many Japanese cars. The G35's basic design also contributes to its impressive handling.
The G35 rides on Nissan's newest platform, which it will share with the upcoming Nissan 350Z sports car and Infiniti FX45 crossover utility. This platform was specifically designed for mounting a V6 longitudinally behind the front axle in the so-called front mid-ship position. (Front-wheel-drive sedans mount their engines sideways, in front of the front axle.) Moving the engine rearward improves the balance of the G35, a key to its excellent handling.
A long wheelbase (112 inches between front and rear wheels) contributes to the G35's stability, especially at high speeds. A wide track (the distance between the left and right wheels) adds to its stability in corners. Short front and rear overhangs, a hallmark of the widely heralded BMW 3 Series, help improve handling by balancing weight toward the center of the car. These design elements also help the G35 lead the near-luxury class in interior room and trunk volume.
The location of the G35's compact V6 behind the front axle allows the use of a low, aggressive hoodline, which flows into the sharply angled windshield and contributes to the G35's sporty, powerful silhouette. The hood is made of aluminum for reduced weight.
Stacked, vertically oriented xenon headlamps grab your attention. Fog lamps are integrated into the complex headlamp cluster, giving the G35 an aggressive appearance, particularly noticeable in other drivers' rear-view mirrors. The horizontal grille identifies the G35 as an Infiniti.
Raised front fenders inspired by a catamaran (a double-hulled sailboat) extend rearward and look pretty rad from inside the car. These raised fenders also have a function, managing airflow by reducing spillage off the sides of the hood. The smooth visual line flowing from the front fenders through the side profile cuts off crisply at the rear, expressing a balance between sport and function. The C-pillar and rear fenders accentuate the spaciousness of the cabin, while the large greenhouse provides good visibility from all seating positions.
The short rear deck ends in a crisp crease, concealing the biggest trunk in this class. L-shaped taillamps suggest a BMW and use bright LED lighting to pierce the fog and illuminate more quickly when the brake pedal is depressed. The G35's chief developer learned the value of these LEDs in Group C racing when competitors would rear-end Nissan's lightweight race cars equipped with carbon brakes; the LEDs would light up more quickly providing the other race drivers with more warning.
Indeed, the G35's overall design was developed from Nissan's experience racing prototype sports cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There's a strong emphasis on aerodynamics, especially on the control of airflow under the body. The extensive use of diffusers and deflectors helps the G35 achieve 0 degrees of front lift, reducing drag and wind noise at high speeds and contributing to stability. With the optional rear spoiler, 0 degrees of rear lift is achieved. The G35 has an exceptional coefficient of drag measurement of just 0.27 (0.26 with optional rear spoiler) for reduced wind noise and increased fuel economy.
The exterior of the G35 Sport Coupe shares visual elements of the sedan. Both benefit from the same long wheelbase. But the coupe is shorter, wider, and lower than the sedan. Specifically, when compared with the G35 sedan, the coupe is shorter in overall length (182.2 inches versus 186.5), wider (71.5 inches versus 68.9) with its performance-oriented chassis, wider wheel openings and fenders, and it isn't as tall as the sedan (54.9 inches versus 57.9).
Infiniti's G35 features spacious, comfortable accommodations. The sedan offers the roomiest back seat in the near-luxury class. It also offers the largest trunk in this class. The interior is designed around the driver and succeeds in this regard. Luxury features abound, though the G35 seems to lack some of the elegance of the Infiniti I35.
The Infiniti G35 offers substantially more interior space than the Lexus IS 300, BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes C-Class. The G35's roomy interior is a benefit of its long wheelbase and wide track. We found good headroom for a 6-foot, 3-inch driver even with the optional sunroof, along with ample leg, shoulder and hip room.
Seats for the driver and passenger are designed differently: The driver's seat uses a center mound shape with high damping urethane foam and a special spring design for support during sporty driving. The front passenger's seat has a flatter lower cushion and is shaped to provide a relaxed posture.
Power seat adjustments, located on the right side of the driver's seat, are a bit awkward, however, and are not as aesthetically pleasing as the metaphoric controls popularized by Mercedes. You may not have to use them often, though, because a memory function is provided that remembers seating adjustments for two drivers.
Rear seats are comfortable for a 5-foot, 10-inch passenger, with plenty of leg, hip, shoulder, and headroom. Knee-room is limited when the driver's seat is set all the way back to accommodate a 6-foot, 3-inch driver. Hidden front seat rails widen foot room for back-seat passengers. Rear air conditioning vents keep them comfortable. Buyers can choose between wide bucket-shaped seats or optional rear reclining seats.
The interior is nicely laid out and, for the most part, offers sound ergonomics with ease of operation. Interior materials appear to be of a high quality. The instrument pod moves when adjusting the steering column improving visibility of the gauges for drivers of all heights. Instruments are brightly lighted during the day for good legibility. Infiniti's trademark analog clock graces the dash. A thin panel on top of the dash houses digital readouts for compass and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) settings. The Bose stereo sounds great with crisp bass and highs. Volume automatically adjusts for speed. Lettering on the stereo controls is hard to read, however.
Storage inside the car is limited. Two glove boxes are provided, but both are small, and the optional DVD navigation system takes up the top glove box. A handy storage compartment on top of center dash offers room for wallets and such, but the optional DVD navigation system replaces it with a clever pop-up display. Center console storage is partly taken up by a power plug, handy for cell phones. Overhead are nice map lights and a sunglasses holder. Three-channel Homelink can be used to open gates, garage doors, and turn on house lights. Visor extensions help keep the sun out of your eyes.
Interior door handles are easy to grab and the doors close with a nice thunk. The optional sunroof features one-touch open and close.
The sedan's trunk leads the class with 14.8 cubic feet of storage. Mounting of the large 20-gallon fuel tank under the rear seat (forward of the rear wheels) helps maximize cargo capacity. A large pass-through center armrest accommodates long items.
Once underway, the Infiniti G35 drives like a true sports sedan. Like the BMW 3 Series, the Infiniti G35 features a rear-wheel-drive layout. That makes for sportier handling characteristics than a front-wheel-drive car, such as the Acura TL.
The optional sports suspension includes special shocks and springs and P215/55VR17 Goodyear Eagle RS-A summer tires. It rides nicely with this setup, comfortable but firm. There's a bit of wind noise at 70 mph.
The G35 feels stable at high speeds and motors around fast sweepers without drama. The driver feels well connected to the road, less isolated than in an Acura TL. On winding roads it rewards the driver with quick, precise steering that offers good feedback. Drive it harder and it responds beautifully. It never surprises the driver with errant behavior. A skilled driver will discover that the chassis can be rotated or steered with the throttle.
The G35 doesn't have the razor sharp response of a BMW 3 Series, and the rear end bobs a bit in fast, sweeping fast turns especially those with undulations. But don't get us wrong: this is clearly one of the best sports sedans in the class with much better handling than any of the front-drive cars. The G35's long wheelbase, low center of gravity, aerodynamic downforce, and lightweight suspension are all designed to keep its tires on the road where they can generate maximum grip. This makes the G35 quicker and more satisfying to drive than an Acura TL. The Acura TL Type S begins to lose composure when pushed hard on rough roads with sharp corners; asked to steer and propel the car at the same time, the TL's front tires begin to lose grip.
The G35's handling characteristics are designed to be less-fatiguing on the driver, a benefit its developer learned from fielding sports prototypes in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in Group C racing. Using a large-diameter tire instead of wide tire makes the contact patch longer rather than wider for less noise and improved wet performance. Also, the tires are less sensitive to camber changes and benefit from better sidewall support than that of a wider tire with a smaller diameter.
The G35's V6 engine produces a nice sporty exhaust note. There's lots of low-rpm torque, more than what's available on the Acura TL Type S, Lexus IS 300, and Mercedes C320. This makes the G35 feel very responsive around town. Stand on the gas and it delivers brilliant acceleration performance. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, according to Car and Driver magazine.
The five-speed automatic transmission is super smooth in normal usage and quite responsive when pressed. It features a manual mode, which can be selected by pushing the shift lever to the right then selects among the five gears. Some drivers find pushing the lever to the outside awkward, but I didn't find it to be a big issue. Select a gear, such as third, and the transmission will still automatically shift down to second when needed, but not up past third or whatever gear is selected; it'll hit the rev limiter if the driver forgets to shift up. This manual mode reduces the tendency for the transmission to uphshift unnecessary on winding, mountainous roads. That can make for more enjoyable driving because it won't shift up to fourth when you lift off the gas as you prepare to brake for the next corner, providing the benefit of some engine braking. Still, it's so responsive in the regular automatic mode, I tend to put it in Drive and leave it there.
Infiniti's G35 sedan is a compelling choice for drivers who want the performance and handling of a true sports sedan. It's one of the quickest, best handling cars in its class. It's also comfortable and practical, with a roomy back seat, a big trunk, and the trappings of a luxury sedan.
At first glance the G35 sedan seems redundant because Infiniti already has a luxury sports sedan called the I35. Infiniti G35 and I35 cost the same. (The I35, which comes standard with leather upholstery, retails for $28,750, while a G35 equipped with optional leather is priced at $28,950.) They are powered by the same engine (Infiniti's 3.5-liter V6). And they offer similar interior space and similar luxury features. The difference is in emphasis: Infiniti G35 is a sports sedan with luxury trappings. Infiniti I35 is a sophisticated luxury sedan with crisp, sporty handling. Drivers more interested in a comfortable luxury car with crisp handling, a smooth ride, and elegant accommodations may find the Infiniti I35 a better choice.

Regina home builders started construction on 305 housing units in October, down from 376 in October 2013. This is largely due to a decline in single-detached housing starts.
Last month, 68 single family dwellings were started, down 39% from 111 in October last year, while multiple unit starts were down about 11% to 237 from 265 during the same period last year.
Total housing starts were 19% lower in October than a year ago due to reductions in both single detached and multi-family construction.
Several permits were issued in October for commercial construction including:
- An apartment building at 1050 Dorothy Street
- An apartment building at 1291 N McEachern Drive
- A new laundry plant at 730 Dethridge Bay in Ross Industrial Park
- Alterations to the City of Regina's waste water treatment plant at 100 Fleming Road
The value of the residential projects - including single family dwellings, duplexes and semi-detached dwellings, multi-attached dwellings and apartments - totalled $262.2 million for the first ten months, compared with $346.1 million for the same period last year.

In his latest post, Stefan Koopmanschap shares an interesting idea he thinks more software developers would do well to adopt - Use what you can (or "don't do it yourself).
In her book, Amanda Palmer talks about DIY, and how when you start asking for help, Do It Yourself is a strange term. Instead, she suggests UWYC, which stands for Use What You Can. I think software developers can learn a lot from this mindset. As Palmer says: "I have no interest in Doing It Myself." This is exactly how we should approach software development.
He points out that, for the most part, the tasks and needs of most software have been solved. There already exists functionality to do those things, so why would you need to create your own? By doing so, you only increase your load as a developer, shifting the hard work of maintenance and improvement into your already loaded work schedule. He does make a good suggestion for using other people's code, though: filter the solutions (according to criteria like following good practices, documentation and if it's in active development).

Here in Anoka we are blessed to have a genuine, historic downtown, not a manufactured "Main Street." This makes us a unique shopping destination within the Twin Cities. We're real. We're classic. So how do we stay vital?
The odds are stacked against small businesses. 4 out of 5 don't make it past the critical 5 year mark. If you want to ensure that the restaurants, boutiques, and mom-and-pop shops you love stay around for a long time, all you have to do is spend your money there–whenever you can, whatever you can. It's that simple.
Did you know: "For every $100 spent in locally-owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home." (The 3/50 Project).
Think out of the box. Shop out of the "box." Shop Anoka first!
