Suppose two extended families went to an amusement park, where adult tickets and children's tickets have different prices. If the first family had 5 adults and 8 children and paid a total of $124, and the second family had 5 adults and 12 children and paid $156, how much does each type of ticket cost? Could you write a system of equations representing this situation? If you wanted to solve the system by elimination, how would you go about doing it?
Adding or Subtracting Linear Systems
As you noticed in the previous Concept, solving a system algebraically will give you the most accurate answer and in some cases, it is easier than graphing. However, you also noticed that it took some work in several cases to rewrite one equation before you could use the Substitution Property. There is another method used to solve systems algebraically: the Elimination Method.
The purpose of the Elimination Method to solve a system is to cancel, or eliminate, a variable by either adding or subtracting the two equations. This method works well if both equations are in standard form.
Let's solve the following problems using systems of equations and the Elimination Method:
- If one apple plus one banana costs $1.25 and one apple plus two bananas costs $2.00, how much does it cost for one banana? One apple?
Begin by defining the variables of the situation. Let the number of apples and the number of bananas. By translating each purchase into an equation, you get the following system:
You could rewrite the first equation and use the Substitution Property here, but because both equations are in standard form, you can also use the elimination method.
Notice that each equation has the value . If you were to subtract these equations, what would happen?
Therefore, one banana costs $0.75, or 75 cents. By subtracting the two equations, we were able to eliminate a variable and solve for the one remaining.
How much is one apple? Use the first equation and the Substitution Property.
- Solve the system .
These equations would take much more work to rewrite in slope-intercept form to graph, or to use the Substitution Property. This tells us to try to eliminate a variable. The coefficients of the variables have nothing in common, so adding will not cancel the variable.
Looking at the variable, you can see the coefficients are 2 and –2. By adding these together, you get zero. Add these two equations and see what happens.
The resulting equation is . Solving for , you get . To find the coordinate, choose either equation, and substitute the number 3 for the variable .
The point of intersection of these two equations is (3, 1).
- Andrew is paddling his canoe down a fast-moving river. Paddling downstream he travels at 7 miles per hour, relative to the river bank. Paddling upstream, he moves slower, traveling at 1.5 miles per hour. If he paddles equally hard in both directions, calculate, in miles per hour, the speed of the river and the speed Andrew would travel in calm water.
We have two unknowns to solve for, so we will call the speed that Andrew paddles at , and the speed of the river . When traveling downstream, Andrew's speed is boosted by the river current, so his total speed is the canoe speed plus the speed of the river . Upstream, his speed is hindered by the speed of the river. His speed upstream is .
Notice and are additive inverses. If you add them together, their sum equals zero. Therefore, by adding the two equations together, the variable will cancel, leaving you to solve for the remaining variable, .
Therefore, ; Andrew is paddling . To find the speed of the river, substitute your known value into either equation and solve.
The stream's current is moving at a rate of .
Example 1
Earlier, you were told that a family going to an amusement park bought 5 adult tickets and 8 children's tickets and paid $124 while another family bought 5 adult tickets and 12 children's tickets and paid $156. How much does each type of ticket cost?
Let represent the cost of adult tickets and represent the cost of children's tickets. The system of equations that represents this situation is:
Since these equations are in standard form and both have the term , we can use the Elimination Method and subtract the equations:
Now, substitute the value for in to solve for :
The adult tickets cost $12 and the children's tickets cost $8.
Example 2
Solve the system .
Since these equations are both written in standard form, and both have the term in them, we will will use elimination by subtracting. This will cause the terms to cancel out and we will be left with one variable, , which we can then isolate.
The solution is .
- What is the purpose of the elimination method to solve a system? When is this method appropriate?
In 2 – 10, solve each system using elimination.
- Nadia and Peter visit the candy store. Nadia buys three candy bars and four fruit roll-ups for $2.84. Peter also buys three candy bars, but he can afford only one fruit roll-up. His purchase costs $1.79. What is the cost of each candy bar and each fruit roll-up?
- A small plane flies from Los Angeles to Denver with a tail wind (the wind blows in the same direction as the plane), and an air-traffic controller reads its ground-speed (speed measured relative to the ground) at 275 miles per hour. Another identical plane moving in the opposite direction has a ground-speed of 227 miles per hour. Assuming both planes are flying with identical air-speeds, calculate the speed of the wind.
- An airport taxi firm charges a pick-up fee, plus an additional per-mile fee for any rides taken. If a 12-mile journey costs $14.29 and a 17-mile journey costs $19.91, calculate:
- the pick-up fee
- the per-mile rate
- the cost of a seven-mile trip
- Calls from a call-box are charged per minute at one rate for the first five minutes, and then at a different rate for each additional minute. If a seven-minute call costs $4.25 and a 12-minute call costs $5.50, find each rate.
- A plumber and a builder were employed to fit a new bath, each working a different number of hours. The plumber earns $35 per hour, and the builder earns $28 per hour. Together they were paid $330.75, but the plumber earned $106.75 more than the builder. How many hours did each work?
- Paul has a part-time job selling computers at a local electronics store. He earns a fixed hourly wage, but he can earn a bonus by selling warranties for the computers he sells. He works 20 hours per week. In his first week, he sold eight warranties and earned $220. In his second week, he managed to sell 13 warranties and earned $280. What is Paul's hourly rate, and how much extra does he get for selling each warranty?

Question 1 - Would it be ok to ask a judge after a show about breeding to one of his males.
Answer- I don't think this subject should be brought up at the show where the judge is judging. Perhaps a phone call the following week to discuss it.
Question 2 - How many shows per year can a judge be a judge at.
Answer- As many as they are invited to. Keep in mind judges have restrictions as to mileage and time between their assignments. Obviously, one could not judge this weekend in say New York City and then judge the same dogs say 100 miles down the road the following weekend.
Question 3 - I am just about to enter the world of showing with a nice little bitch. As a novice with no other bulldoggers nearby to examine my bitch and give me honest feedback, is it okay to ask a judge after the show for their honest opinion? Can an all breed judge really give me an honest opinion of the bulldog's conformation?
Answer- Judges are allowed to give their opinion on anyone's dog. Of course in the show itself, you are already getting their opinion by the way they place your dog in competition. However, it is not uncommon to have exhibitors come up to you after the judging is over to explain the reasoning that went into their picks. Keep in mind, that judges are only allowed to comment on 'your dog' and NOT other entries.
Many judges find it very uncomfortable to critique an exhibitor's dog. More often than not, the discussion ends up in an argument. Although, exhibitors usually begin the conversation with 'they need help' of some kind understanding why their dog was placed where it was. What many exhibitors actually want is for the judge to say something that is perceived to be wrong and then argue with them about their pick. This is why many judges avoid these kind of discussions.
If you are a novice, it will be obvious to the judge no matter how much practice you do before the show. This is okay. I for one, always am even more patient with new exhibitors and try not to put any more pressure on them than they have already created for themself.
I have no problem discussing a dog's merits and faults after the show. In fact there are times, when I have taken a novice exhibitor aside and given them advice for the future.
It is very important that every judge give every dog the same amount of time. They have all paid the same entry fee and deserve the same 'look' and 'interest', regardless of the quality of the animal they show to you.
As far as 'can an all breed judge give me an honest opinion of the bulldog's conformation"? I believe and hope that all judges whether they are breeder judges or all breed judges (I happen to be both) will give an honest opinion. I also believe that one would get a more specific critique from a breeder judge. With way over 100 different breeds at an all breed show, it really is impossible to think that an All Breed Judge could possibly know each individual breed as well as a breeder judge.
Question 4 - What age is to old to start showing a dog and after 10 years of age is really any point in even doing it?
Answer - I would not want to show a dog past it's prime which in the bulldog breed is normally between 2 and 4. There are always exceptions. A veteran dog (6 years or older in the U.S.) (7 years or older in Canada) can be entered in 'Veteran Classes' and is a popular class at Specialties, especially when the dog had done a lot of winning in the past and the owners are very proud, as they should be.
Question 5 - Do you think the current requirements to be a Champion is to little and should have harder and more requirements to assure a better champion and to make the word Champion more worthy? (USA).
Answer - I feel that the point system in the U.S. is very difficult, but because of this it makes the championship title even more prestigious and sought after. The system is a fair one.

Starboard Serenity, Windsurfing Journal (Germany), Jul - Aug 2008
Translation: Chris Pressler
"Longboarding is not a crime. If you want to be the fastest in one - to three beaufort and if you are looking for a board that needs technical know-how, the Serenity is your first choice." (Alexander Lehmann, editor-in-chief of the Windsurfing Journal).
The first impression:
"Stand-up-paddleboard", "kayak" or "little jolly-boat"? I hear these words regularly, when I drive on to the parking lot at my homespot carrying the Serenity on the roof. That proves something very alarming: most of the windsurfers do not even recognize the good old hull-shape. I have to admit that the Serenity has an extravagant shape. At the nose and at the tail, the board runs into a peak. It will be hard for many people to make a difference between the tail and the nose of the Serenity. On the deck it has a long masttrack and a big deckpad, which works excellent and protects against slipping off the board. There is a big cavity just behind the masttrack to get the finscrews fixed. This deep notch can be covered with a plate after the screws are tightened. The whole upper deck looks clean and is at the same level. The grip behind the masttrack is placed exactly in the gravity center of the board, so the Serenity carries very well. And it also works fine to carry board and sail together. Just put it on your head! It's astonishing how light the Serenity is. Having a view on the board you expect something else. Lighter people or ladies should not have any troubles when carrying the board. The fin is placed relatively far forward. This fact saves using a daggerboard and later on at the water all possibilities of doubt will disappear. The board comes with two fins: A 70 cm long G-10 monster-fin. For shallow water conditions a 40 cm plastic fin gets delivered, which works much better than the cheap look suggests.
Riding performance (character):
Everybody who thinks you're standing on a pleasure boat will be proven wrong after sailing just a few meters. The board feels anything but boring. It doesn't matter how light the wind is, the board cuts with sensational speed through the water. Always squeezing through the water, it's just a super sensation and it's a lot of fun to try and get more and more out of the board. You can get addicted to catch the next lightest gust and feel the acceleration again. While sailing upwind the edge of the board can be lifted up, because the board is well-balanced. It's more less sailing against the wind than sailing upwind. I prefer the Serenity very much, when I ride down rolling waves in 3 beaufort of wind. The feeling is close to the feeling you have when planning over the water. But it's just for a short moment, after which the tailshape stops you and you'll find yourself turning upwind again to catch the next wave of groundswell and ride downwind with speed. The Serenity is a board, that completely lives up to its promise: endless fun in 1 to 3 beaufort of wind. Incredible speed despite a mirror-like water surface. It's definitely a board for motivated weekend warriors, who prefer to be on the water instead of hanging around at the beach ("I write out of my personal view"). You should use a light but powerful sail. The Severne Glide works excellent on the Serenity. T rimmed with a deep profile you can push the board to the limit. Do not make a fault and use a flat modern Freemove sail on the Serenity. A deep sail with an old school triangle cut, which is 20 years old, will fit best. It needs that belly.
Move performance (character):
When you are sailing the first jibes or tacks on the Serenity, you will have a hard time. Both moves are definitely not easy. While tacking you have to hurry up to walk around the mast, because the board is narrow. You should avoid to step aside. A cooling-down would be the reward. While initiating the jibe you've to get used to giving pressure on the upwind edge of the board. In the moment you initiate the jibe this edge has to be pressed down in a courageous way. Otherwise the nose of Serenity will turn upwind. But don't get me wrong: Both moves (and all other moves, too) are not easy to stick, but that's the special character of the board and you will be never bored on this board. It's a damn cool feeling, when you are able to press the board around a turn in a narrow radius, with the nose up in the air, just by giving a doughty pressure. With some practice, you'll be able to turn on a beer coaster.
Telling you the truth? My first thought was: That's the best board I've ever sailed with! The riding performance is really incredible. It's just about fun to be back on the water in light wind conditions again. It looks like it's easy to sail, but it's not. And that's the exciting point of the board. If you should get the chance to try the Serenity, try it. If you should meet me with my board, just ask me.
A challenging board for low wind conditions with an electrifying riding performance! JUST UNIQUE!
If the wind blows with 2 beaufort you get nervous and the motivation is high to move out on the water. The price of the board is not an offer and you should take care at the beach. The board has a light construction (the weight is incredible) and is not super resistant.

Are there any cheap websites that sell vintage figures?
Are there any cheap websites that sell vintage figures?
For cheap prices, eBay probably can't be beat. If you win an auction of several figures, often the prices are very reasonable. There are several sites that sell vintage figures. BriansToys.com is probably the most famous, but the prices are seldom cheap. I've purchased figures from www.theearthtoymall.com, and their prices are fairly reasonable. Lots of other sites out there, but none that are "cheap."
I am blind to the value of this pain...
I mostly want ewoks and that one site is way too pricy on ewoks.

I have been very fortunate to be in the paint department this year! At some point last year it was decided by management that several of the field camp facilities would need to be repaired and re-painted this season. Viola! I was the lucky one chosen to head out to several of the field camps to do some painting and small repairs. Over the next few weeks in addition to my usual work around town I will get the chance to travel out to various deep field camps to complete these tasks. This week I got the chance to head out to the Dry Valleys - a very coveted place to visit!
The Dry Valleys are divided into two main geographical areas: The Wright Valley which lies between the Olympus and Asgard Mountain ranges and Taylor Valley which rests between the Asgard Mountains and the Kukri Hills
I took a helo flight into Wright Valley to spend three days repairing and re-painting a small 8x12 hut located in Bull Pass. I was accompanied by Galin, a carpenter, which will makes us the only two people who will be out at Bull Pass! This was the first time either of us had been out to Bull Pass, which is one of the rare sights to visit due to its remote location. This was also my first time to set foot on the actual Antarctic continent, since I spent all of last season on Ross Island just off the coast.
My day began with hauling all of our food and supplies down to the helo hanger only to be told to "stand by" until the weather cleared. At about 12:30 pm the skies turned a beautiful blue and we climbed into the Bell 212 helicopter and took off across the frozen surface of the Ross Sea. We were accompanied by a cook catching a ride to another camp, Marble Point, which was on our way. After we dropped her off the helo began its flight into the mountains by passing directly over the Wright Lower Glacier, a massive field of ice with huge vertical face walls and deep crevasses. We gained elevation quickly and before we knew it we were landing on top of Mt. Newall, which has a remote hut and radio repeater. Galin and I climbed out of the helo and did a quickly looked for items that needed repair, checked on emergency food and fuel caches, and took pictures of the hut to bring back to the managers so they could decide whether painting would be needed in the future
One of the reasons that NASA and other scientists are so interested in the Dry Valley region is because it is earth's best environment to simulate the surface of the planet Mars. In every direction there is nothing but stones and sand, which at first look seems pretty dull. However when you stop and look closely at all of the geological formations and changes that occur in such a close proximity it is really amazing! In several areas we found stones called venifax, which are basalt rocks that the wind and sand have worn down into remarkable formations. We also saw fields of large granite blocks that has been warn smooth and shaped by the wind. It truly is an amazing area where very few humans have been!
Much of the time spent around the hut was similar to any basic camping trip. Instead of fussing with putting up a tent we decided to just sleep inside the 8x12 hut, which for perspective is the same size as a competition pool table! But Galin is a great laid-back guy and sharing the space was never a problem. We also shared the same opinion as far as accomplishing the work; we figured it best to work hard the first few days so that we could have some time left to do some exploring. The first day the wind was howling so we worked on the tasks inside the hut. Then that night around 11:00 pm the wind suddenly stopped, so we rushed outside and painted the first coat on the exterior of the hut. We finished the painting and finally headed to bed around 3:00 am
We woke up the next morning, packed all of our gear, and made it ready to load on the helo. After a nice hot breakfast we took another short hike to do a bit more exploring before heading out. We got back to the hut we made sure we had all of our gear ready and set it outside the hut so we could paint a quick coat on the inside floor to complete the project. We had some time before the helo would arrive to pick us up so we decided to lay down outside in the sun with the hut shielding us from the wind and take a little nap while we waited.
The flight back to McMurdo was absolutely breathtaking! The clouds that had hidden the mountains on the flight out were gone and we had unlimited visibility. We passed over the Asgard Mountains and Taylor Valley where we saw several more glaciers, and then we flew over the frozen Ross Sea and back to McMurdo. This was an amazing trip! Definitely one of the most unique experiences that I've ever had!

The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment - DVDJonathan Cahn,
An obscure passage in the Book of Isaiah describing the fall of ancient Israel has, since September 11, 2001, been eerily re-enacted in the United States exactly as it originally occurred in the time of the great prophet of Israel leading to the nation's demise. Jonathan C... Read More
More From: Jonathan Cahn,
Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger, has been shocking audiences by revealing the astonishing parallels between the fall of ancient Israel and current events unfolding in the US, what he calls "an ancient mystery that holds the secret of America's future and the collapse of the global economy."
In this stunning documentary, The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment: Is There an Ancient Mystery that Foretells America's Future?, Rabbi Cahn unravels the mystery behind this seemingly innocuous Biblical verse, and shows that ancient harbingers of judgment are now manifesting in America, just as they once did in Israel.
This fascinating film asks the question, "Is God sending America a prophetic message of what will soon be?" - and Rabbi Cahn provides mounting evidence that the answer is "yes."

- Extremely important to read the book and watch the DVD by mary paula on 11/29/2012
Please read the Harbinger and watch this DVD. It is a warning for our country and we must share this with others in the hope of changing the people of our country and moving back toward God.
- must read by kinured on 11/8/2012
I am amazed at how this one verse speaks volume. This not the author's summation of his opinion, but of actual events that has happened to Ancient Israel and how it runs parallel to the past and current events of the US. Now with the presidential election over, I feel this video must be shown in all churches.
- Awesome, Extremely thought provoking by Lake Lade on 8/28/2012
Read the Harbinger book and was astounded by the parallels of Isaiah 10 and modern day events revolving around our 9-11 catastrophe. Will definitely buy the DVD and share the story with others. This is a MUST READ BOOK & a MUST SEE DVD.

MSU 7, South Carolina 2
By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Recapping No. 24 MSU's 7-2 win over No. 14 South Carolina on Saturday at Dudy Noble Field.
• The buzz: Mississippi State accomplished a lot with today's win: It won the series, earned the No. 5 SEC Tournament seed, and reached the 40-win mark in the regular season for the first time since 1997. The Bulldogs (40-16, 16-14 SEC) will play 12th-seeded Missouri on Tuesday night to open tourney play; it's a single-elimination day. South Carolina (39-16, 17-12) is the No. 4 seed and will play the Missouri-MSU winner on Wednesday.
• Big inning: MSU took a 2-1 lead in the second when Demarcus Henderson singled home a run and then later scored on an error. Two more runs came in the sixth, then three in the eighth.
• Key stats: MSU was 4 of 12 with runners in scoring position, while SC was 0 of 2. … With runners on third and less than two outs, MSU was 3 of 4. … The Gamecocks committed three errors, which led to two unearned runs.
• South Carolina at the plate: The Gamecocks had seven hits. … LB Dantzler hit a pair of solo home runs to right field, in the second and eighth innings. He has 14 homers on the year. … Max Schrock had two hits.
• MSU at the plate: MSU had 11 hits, marking the sixth straight game it's recorded double-digit hits. … Henderson had three hits and two RBIs. … Adam Frazier and Brett Pirtle had two hits apiece. … Nick Ammirati stroked an RBI double in the eighth and drove in two runs on the day.
• South Carolina on the mound: Starter Jack Wynkoop (7-3) allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two. … Evan Beal allowed two runs on two hits in 1 2/3 innings. … Vince Fiori allowed a run in one-third of an inning, while Colby Holmes went two-thirds of an inning without allowing a run.
• MSU on the mound: Starter Jacob Lindgren went 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits with four strikeouts and a walk. … Ross Mitchell (10-0) worked 4 2/3 innings of one-run relief for the win. He gave up two hits, struck out one and walked one.
• Quotable: "I'm not on any NCAA committees, so I'm not going to be able to help you with a question you guys might have for me. But I can tell you this, I'm really proud of our kids. We played the most difficult schedule in the Southeastern Conference." – MSU coach John Cohen
• Bottom line: MSU finished the season on a strong note; in fact, this was its best series win of the year. Now it's off to Hoover to defend last year's SEC Tournament title, and after that the NCAA tournament selections. State has a strong case to host, and it could certainly help itself next week with a couple of wins.

Ole Miss 11, LSU 9
By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
If you've been following along on the blog you may have seen me hammer on the Ole Miss bullpen of late.
Well, the Rebels can thank their bullpen for helping them not get swept in Baton Rouge. Just following along in the box score it looks like the bullpen was not spectacular but was much more efficient than it has been.
More on that in a bit.
The disappointing news is that Bobby Wahl was absolutely lit up. He finishes the regular season undefeated at 9-0, but he was chased quickly today, lasting just 2.2 innings, giving up six hits and six runs, all earned.
Four pitchers threw behind Wahl. Chris Ellis went 2.1 innings. He absorbed five hits but gave up only one run. After Ellis, Tanner Bailey struggled, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks in only two-thirds of an inning.
But after Bailey, Matt Denny retired two of the three batters he faced — to get the win — and Brett Huber overcame his walks — three of them — because he allowed only one hit in 2.2 innings.
Offensively, the Rebels had 14 hits, led by Preston Overbey, who homered twice and drove in five runs. Austin Anderson and Will Allen also had home runs.
Andrew Mistone was 3-for-4.
Anderson, Stuart Turner, Overbey, Will Jamison and Will Allen had two hits each.
Ole Miss ends the regular season at 36-20 overall, 15-15 in SEC play. It was an NCAA 3 seed at College Station last year when it had 14 SEC regular season wins. It was a 2 seed at Virginia in 2010 when it went 16-14 in the regular season, the last time the Rebels had at least a break-even season in SEC play.
Today's win gives the Rebels a 3-3 mark against RPI top 10 teams over the last six SEC games.
The offense was a pleasant surprise for a group that hasn't been very consistent in scoring runs. Maybe it provides a little momentum for postseason.
The bigger question is how does Mike Bianco handle Bobby Wahl for next week's SEC tournament? Obviously Wahl was out of his routine, but that should have made that big a difference. You want Bobby Wahl as rested and healthy as he can be for the NCAAs.

PAWS Pet of the Week: Meet Samantha!
SAMANTHA IS A LOVELY LONG HAIRED GREY TABBY WHO IS LOOKING FOR LOVE. She's a very sweet cat who was thrown out of her home on the West Side of Cleveland and was eventually found under a porch. PAWS was called, and now Samantha is in a loving and caring foster home with other cats. She is looking for a family who will not kick her out again.
Samantha is about 5 years old, a lovely grey color, and somewhat on the heavy side. She has been spayed, tested and is up-to-date on her shots. Sadly, she has been found to be FIV positive but due to her sweet and gentle nature, is not a threat to other cats as FIV is spread between cats only through biting and bleeding.To read more or comment...

TUPELO – Larger recycling bins will be on the table as the Tupelo City Council prepares to move forward on a residential waste collection contract.
At its Tuesday work session, the council discussed elements that it wants to include in requests for proposals for residential solid waste collection, which will go out in early March.
Council members unanimously favored including the larger, rolling recycling bins for all households in the request for proposals, based on citizen feedback. They also requested that the proposals include price quotes based on the current schedule – trash pick up twice a week and recycling once every other week – as well as an alternative – one trash pick up and one recycling pick up each week.
The council anticipates proposals from multiple companies; public feedback is welcomed.

The Apartment is wonderful. It is perfectly located for seeing everything in the city and to step into Södermalm. The kitchen is really nice and big enough to cook and hang around. The flat is very unique and perfectly renovated, stylish and clean.
Johan was very pleasant and everything worked very well with the communication.
When we will visit Stockholm next time we will definitely come back. Thanks for a nice stay!
Friendly, super nice Location, clean, lovely, Location to visit Stockholm by feet is ideal, thank you
Great appartement, nice and clean. More than enough room for two people. The location is top, very quiet and in a great neighbourhood. Shops, restaurants close to the appartment and close to the subway. The host was very welcoming and helpful.
The flat is perfectly located in a beautiful area of Södermalm, really close to Slussen from where you can easily go wherever you want in Stockholm. Monteliusvägen is a great place to start with as you get a magnificent view of the city.
Karl was an amazing host, very nice and welcoming. He even took some time to show me the neighborhood since it was my first time in Stockholm.
As for the flat, just like in the pictures, a great place to stay!
Tack, Karl!
A really nice flat in a great location. All of Søder within walking range, in easy walking range of the railwaystation as well!
Thanks to Karl for a nice reception and accommodation!
We, an elderly couple, have really enjoyed our 5 days stay in the flat. It is very clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the pull-out bed is fine. There is a lot of information material about Stockholm available, so we were able to make a good choice between the various museums. Karl, who received us to hand over the key, added a number of suggestions and indicated on the map the supermarkets are. Stockholm and the flat are both worth a return visit!
our stay at johans apartment was fantastic. it is perfectly located, very cosy and johan is a great host. thanks for all.

Wood honored with Behrman Award
Posted May 20, 2002; 07:05 p.m.
Michael Wood, the Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English and professor of comparative literature, has been honored with Princeton University's Behrman Award for distinguished achievement in the humanities.
Wood joined the Princeton faculty in 1995 after teaching at Columbia University and the University of Exeter. He teaches modern and contemporary fiction and poetry, literary theory and history of criticism. He also leads courses in film and in Latin American studies.
He is the author of several books, including "Stendhal," "America in the Movies," "Garcia Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude," "The Magician's Doubts: Nabokov and the Risks of Fiction" and "Children of Silence: On Contemporary Fiction." Last year, his book on Spanish filmmaker Luis Buquel's "Belle de Jour" was published. His work on Czech novelist Franz Kafka will appear this summer. He currently is working on books on French author Marcel Proust and on oracles throughout history.
Wood, who earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Cambridge University, also has written many reviews and essays for literary journals.
Bestowed annually, the Behrman Award was established in 1975 by a gift from the late Howard Behrman, a physician and book collector.

In the late '60s, Mary Pratt decided to give up painting. Tired of being criticized for painting from photography, she joined a group of women from near her home in Salmonier who went down to Placentia a couple times a week to learn how to sew. She had a sewing machine herself and had made baby clothes and such for her own children, so she figured she'd give up fighting those who didn't think she should be using a camera, and be a seamstress instead.
Then, at Christmas, her then-husband, artist Christopher Pratt, gave her a little envelope with a slide inside, of chicken pieces on a Coca-Cola box.
"He said, 'Now, you'd better paint this; you better finish this painting or I'm going to be visiting you at the Waterford with flowers,'" Mary recalls, smiling. "And (my daughter) Barbie, who was just a little thing, said, 'Mummy, if you aren't a painter, what can you be?' It was so innocent and such a sweet observation, that I thought, I can't do this to the girls. I've got to show the girls that I can cope with this.
"Partly because of an obligation to my children, the girls especially, I thought, You can't give up, you've got to get on with this. I wanted to, anyway. I didn't like all the objections."
Mary didn't know at the time that many artists were working from photography. What they weren't doing, was finding beauty in the same things as Mary Pratt.
Known for her photorealism oil paintings, Pratt has a reputation for finding beauty in the mundane. From eviscerated chickens to fish heads, a baby in the bath and the sun shining through jars of jam, she can take everyday, overlooked objects and translate them into something of awe. It's the light, she explained, and the way it hits certain objects, making them unexpectedly pop.
At first, people didn't quite get it.
"My mother had seen a reproduction of the chickens and she said, 'Why would you do such an ugly thing?' I said, Well, I thought it was beautiful. People would come in and somebody said, 'I've wanted you to paint my daughter's portrait for years,' and he looked at the thing of the chickens and he said, 'If I get her tonsils out, would you paint them?'," she said, laughing heartily. "I guess my idea of what's beautiful may be different from yours, but to me (the chicken) was truly lovely."
Pratt, born in Fredericton, N.B., has a degree in fine arts from Mount Allison University, and has been living in this province since 1963. Her first solo exhibition was held in St. John's four years later, and since then, she has shown her pieces around the continent. In 1996, she was named a Companion of the Order of Canada.
A retrospective exhibition of Pratt's work will open at The Rooms tonight and will run until Sept. 8, after which it will tour across the country. Stops include the Art Gallery of Windsor, Ont., the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ont., the MacKenzie Arts Gallery in Regina, Sask., and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax, where the tour will end in January 2015.
Instead of a chronology of the artist's career, the exhibit will showcase selected pieces from the past 50 years as, according to The Rooms, an interwoven conversation in themes.
"Works … will be assembled, showcasing Pratt's 'tougher' paintings (to use her own description of them) alongside works that embody the intensity with which she views her domestic surroundings," explains a brochure from The Rooms.
Paintings, on loan from her own collection, public and private collections across the country and The Rooms vault, will be grouped together by period and there will be some mixed-media pieces, as well, though not many, according to Pratt. Since they're done in chalk, owners often aren't keen on lending them out for fear of wear.
Pratt continues to paint from photography, using a projector to display the image onto board.
"You pop the slide into a viewer and there's a light behind it, so the light comes through much as the sun would come through a petal," she explained. "I am just terribly faithful to what I see. I don't try to change anything, I don't try to say anything; when I see it, it's just wonderful to me. I think the sieve of my imagination is good enough.
"When I used to paint from life, I'd sit there and cry, because the thing impressed me so much subjectively, and you just can't paint like that properly — not the way I want to paint, anyway. You have to be objective, and if you're in tears, you just can't. Things that appealed to me really did affect me that much."
She had never planned to use photos, she said, until Christopher took a picture of a supper table.
"Boy, when that slide came back and he said, 'Now there, isn't that what you wanted?' I said, Yes, Buddy, thank-you very much, you've done me a great favour."
Art enthusiasts may not have gotten Pratt's vision when she first started, but they quickly caught on, and she has long been one of the country's most recognized and prestigious visual artists. At 78, Mary is still working out of her home studio in St. John's when she can: a back condition, caused by years of an awkward painting position, has caused her back to be twisted and limits her to working only an hour at a time. It doesn't matter, really, she said, as long as she's got her family around her — and then she broke off into a story about a grandchild.
"He came up on Valentine's Day and brought me these oranges," she said. "I said, That is really sweet of you, but I can't eat oranges, and he said, 'Well, one of them is a blood orange.' Well, I cut into it and it was brilliantly red, so I did a lot of photography, which I haven't been able to get at yet. It was something else, with the sun shining through this red orange."
Organized as a partnership between The Rooms and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Mary Pratt exhibit will open with a reception at The Rooms tonight at 7:30 p.m. A curatorial tour and discussion will happen Saturday at 3 p.m., and a gallery tour in French will take place Sunday at 3 p.m. That evening, Mary will sit down with Seamus O'Regan for a discussion, which is open to the public but already sold out. A panel discussion with artist Bill Rose, historian Victoria Scott and author Bernice Morgan, who will explore themes related to Mary's artwork, will take place Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Forbidden love, undeniable desire....
Davina Montgomery is no ordinary English lady. For her own protection, she's been locked away from society, her true identity the Crown's most closely guarded secret. Until a shocking betrayal—and a bold rescue—land her in the arms of a fierce Highlander, a powerful warrior whose searing gaze and tantalizing touch awaken her body and soul.
As the firstborn son of a powerful Scottish laird, Robert MacGregor has no loyalty to the English throne, but he's not the kind of man to leave a woman in distress, even if she is English. He vows to deliver Davina to safety, unharmed and untouched. Yet one stolen kiss leaves them both smoldering with desire and desperate for more. With Davina's secret threatening to destroy his clan, Rob must choose between everything he holds dear and the one woman he can't live without.

"[M]ore than just sizzling sensuality: history buffs will love the attention to period detail and cameos by real-life figures." (Publishers Weekly)
"Here is an amazing love story where characters' deep emotions and sense of honor for their countrymen will enchant readers." (Romantic Times)
"This novel is full of excitement and thrills." (Fresh Fiction)
avid reader
"Love those highlanders!"
Nice story with just enough twists to keep in interesting without being overly complicated. The narrator was fantastic with her Scottish accents! Can't wait to read next in the series.
"YIKES. Terrible narrator."
I am shamelessly addicted to Scottish Highlander books. That being said this was the absolute worst narration I have ever heard in my life. In no way was this anything resembling a Scots accent. Yowza. Unfortunately, the main characters voice was so whiney and annoying I often had to stop listening for a while and start it back up when I was desperate and had nothing else.
The story was alright but if there had been better narration I think I would have been able to get more into it.
Live, love, laugh...
"I love me some Highlander..."
I have a special place in my heart for Highlanders. I love that they're gorgeous, strong, brave and loyal. I am beyond happy to find a new highlander series to take me away from reality. This book was very good. I specially liked the fact that it gives you many historical references that make the story more authentic. The romance was beautiful and believable.
Narration: I didn't particularly love the narration by Carrington MacDuffie but I ended up getting used to it. Her female voices are very good but the male characters sound a bit strange. Her Scottish accent isn't great either. But my complaints are minor. The story is good enough that I was ok with the narration and will most definitely listen to the next book in the series.
"One of the Best"
This book is one on the best books I ever listened to. I cannot believe that the other reviews were not higher; just to think I could have missed out on this outstanding book if I had not taken a chance. I wrote this same review for the second book, when I meant it for this book.
"Not great narration but good story"
I will listen to Ravished by a HIghlander again because it is a good story and I like the characters.
I have read Paula Quinn's book Laird of the Mist which is the story of the hero of this book's parents, but this is the first book of hers that I have listened to.
I thought the narrator's Scots accents were stereotypical, and she has a vocal pattern in her narration that borders on irritating at times.
Overall, I liked the book and the narrator enough to order the second book of this series.
"Sweet Romance"
It's nice once in awhile to have the hero and heroine admit they love each other early on in the book...there is no , he loves her but won't admit it...she loves him but can't admit it. A nice change of pace for me in a romance. There is still the very present question, "will their love be enough to hold then together?" That will keep you listening. Not too fond of the narrator, she's not the worst I've heard, but sort of monotone and a bit boring at times (that did not deter me from buying the 2nd book in the series). If your fond of those hunky sexy highlander alphamales as your hero, you'll probably endjoy this book.
"an absolute pleasure"
The story moved quickly before you could assume what would happen next. loved the characters, and loved that it was light, not melodramatic, didn't have to sit through tangents that writers get on with descriptions on the sky, or a rock, etc. it was a joy.
I love Audible!
Yes, It's an example of romance, love, loyalty and forgivenss...
Never Love a Highlander..
She did a very good job.
Some what, yes!!
"I'm Ravished"
My goodness, if there is a portal opening to this particular MacGregor era, id be the first to sign in, Paula Quinn please don't fail to announce it. This series got me tied so good and robbed from my routine.
A Big 5 to both the author and the narrator. Even after I finished listening, the burr and the brawny highlanders kept ringing and filling my head. I even caught myself repeating the dialogues. Ravished indeed.
Verra verra much a credit worthy listen.
"Good Story-Great Narrator"
I really enjoyed this story and the narrator did an excellent job. Now that I have started reading about the McGregor clan I have to keep going and will listen to the the rest of the Children of the Mist series. I rarely review, so when I do, it means I really like it

While most of us are nervously watching the shore, some inventors are dreaming up big ways to stop a hurricane dead in its tracks. Enter Bill Gates and a team of inventors at Intellectual Ventures. They hold the patent for a geo-engineering solution to rob a developing storm of its energy. The idea involves big floating rings bobbing in the path of Hurricane-breeding grounds. As they bob with the waves they generate energy which they use to pump the hot surface water to the much colder depths below. Since hot water is the lifeblood of hurricanes, enough of these rings (it would be a lot!) could cool the path enough to sap or even completely drain a storm of its power.
Right now this is just an idea and no one has any plans to make it. But as the Earth continues to warm, and storm seasons continue getting worse and worse, maybe we will have to turn to big ideas like this.
Check out the video of this storm killer and read more about it at the Intellectual Ventures site.

- Description
An Edgartown Harbor Light has stood here guarding the entrance to Edgartown Harbor and Katama Bay since 1828. The original light was a 5 room, 2 story house with a constant white light shining from the lantern on its roof. The house stood on stone pilings and was completely surrounded by water. The lighthouse keeper needed to row a short distance to get to land to do his shopping. A long wooden causeway to the lighthouse was built in 1830. It was called "The Bridge of Sighs" by local seamen who walked to the lighthouse with their wives and girlfriends who remained at home while the men were at sea. The Bridge of Sighs was replace by a stone causeway in 1847. Both the wooden and the stone causeway required frequent repairs, and incurred substantial cost. However, nature will often take charge of landscapes, and the sand that surrounds the lighthouse was brought here by the wind and the tides, which are so efficient that the lighthouse is now on this small sandy island with its very attractive shell-strewn beach.
In the mid-19th Century, Fresnel lenses replaced many of the optics in New England lighthouses. A fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed in the Edgartown Lighthouse in 1856, and it was still shining in 1938 when a hurricane severly damaged the little wooden house with its Fresnel lens on the roof.
The hurricane brought many changes to the harbor light. In 1939 the United States Coast Guard took over the light, demolished the remains of the old wooden lighthouse and brought to Edgartown a discontinued 45-foot tall conical cast iron tower from Crane's Beach in Ipswich where it had stood since 1881, serving as the Ipswich Rear Range Light. The reused tower received a modern red flashing beacon that was fully automated. With that change, a full time lighthouse keeper was no longer needed at Edgartown. The current fully automated, 250mm plastic light was installed in 1990 and it was converted to solar power in 1994. It still flashes a red light every 6 seconds to guide ships into the harbor. On summer days there is once again a lighthouse keeper at the Edgartown Harbor Light. Instead of lighting wicks and handling whale oil or kerosene, the lighthouse keeper gives tours and assists people who are visiting the grounds.
This lighthouse sits on the same pilings as the original wooden lighthouse of 1828. The base has been repaired and renovated many times over the decades. The latest restoration in 1991 involved the creation of The Martha's Vineyard Children's Lighthouse Memorial. The granite foundation of the tower was enlarged and per design is paved with 2000 granite cobblestones that can bear the names of children who have died.
The United States Coast Guard still owns the lighthouse, which has been managed by the Martha's Vineyard Museum since 1994. The grounds around the lighthouse are open year round. The tower is open to the public during select hours from late May to mid-October.

Goddamnit. I wrote my diary entry in Netscape and it HAD to crash when I was about to post it. Back to trusty vi. _______________________________________________________________________
This weekend was eventful. I started it off in a hacking sense by writing a minor patch for console-apt while waiting for Star Trek: TNG: Interface to air on Saturday morning. The patch fixed some strings, a bit of Debian packaging, and some mixed-up keys. I posted several wishlist items on console-apt also. I am about to submit a bug on GtkMozEmbed stating that pressing the spacebar in a TEXTAREA form causes the entire document to scroll, which is obviously very annoying, and is also the reason why I didn't write this diary entry in Skipstone originally :/.
A Javur(tm) applet that I have been anticipating for some time has finally appeared. The basic principle is that people have too many passwords to remember, and that it is not acceptable to compormise by using the same password for every site/machine. This applet hashes a master password with the site name to produce a password for the individual site which cannot be used to deduce the master password or the password for any other site without practically impossible amounts of computing power or major advancements in codebreaking techniques. I realized that if I used this, the first thing I would want to do after the hashed password had been computed would be to copy it to the clipboard, since I don't like typing in 16-digit hexidecimal numbers :). I added a button to the applet to do just this and sent a patch. No, I don't know Java. Don't ask :).
I was excited to see that Gnapster, XMMS, and X-Chat all won Linux Journal Readers' Choice awards. I have contributed code to all of those projects.
XFree86 4.0.1 is in Debian Woody, and some really cool packages including Gnapster-1.4, imlib2, feh, and scrot are in Incoming. Beaujolais!
Now a query: I'm running a 10kRPM SCSI drive in my workstation, and it performs great. But I am not cooling it at all. It seems to be roughly the same temperature as my trusty EIDE drive, but I've heard that cooling a 10kRPM drive is very important. Is there a safe way that I can cool this drive without replacing my case with a more ventilated one? Would a chasis fan be sufficient or is direct cooling required? I do not want a box looking like Zork.

Turning 18 marks a major milestone in the life of any young women, but Jyoti Amge finds herself the subject of some added hoopla today – she is now officially the World's Shortest Living Woman.
Representatives from Guinness World Records traveled to Jyoti's hometown of Nagpur, India, today to acknowledge her entry into adulthood — and her new entry into its world records. Standing at 24.7 inches, she displaced 2-foot-3-inch American Bridgette Jordan as the world record holder.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2012 (on this page)
"It is wonderful to celebrate my 18th birthday with a new world record; it's like an added birthday present," the pretty brunette with a 10-foot smile said in a statement. "I feel grateful to be this size; after all, if I weren't small and had not achieved these world records, I might never have been able to visit Japan and Europe, and many other wonderful countries."

Small size, big dreams
While Jyoti has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia that has limited her growth — she's grown just a third of an inch since she was hailed the World's Shortest Teenager in 2009, and isn't expected to grow any further — she makes it clear big dreams can come with a small size.
Jyoti plans to pursue her college degree and then seek fame on the big screen in Bollywood film productions. And even though she can look a 2-year-old in the eye, Jyoti is a clotheshorse: She designs her own clothes and jewelry to fit her size.
Jyoti was a vision in a striped sari and necklace at her awards ceremony today, attended by 30 friends and family members. After receiving her plaque and cutting a birthday cake, the 2-foot teen took a moment to brag about her hometown.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2011 (on this page)
"I have put Nagpur on a world map," she told the Associated Press. "Now everyone will know where it is."
No less prideful was her dad, Kishanji, who noted that birthdays are always a big deal when it comes to his darling daughter. "This year is a special celebration and we expect more visitors than ever to Jyoti's birthday party," he said. "But it has always been this way, she's always been very popular.Story: Accomplishing amazing athletic feats — in their 80s and 90s
"I am sure this year her birthday party will be very colorful and loud, just like Jyoti!"
While Jyoti revels in her diminutive stature, she lives her life like any young girl, hanging out with her sisters and friends. She has attended regular school since age 4, sitting at a desk designed to accommodate her.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2010 (on this page)
Guiness World Records Adjudicator Rob Molloy adds that seeing Jyoti embrace her size can serve as a lesson for all. "Jyoti encourages us all to look beyond mere size and to just celebrate our differences," he said.

Sartorius concludes the launch of its Sartoguard NF prefilter series
Singapore: Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB), a leading international pharma supplier, has launched the Sartoguard NF prefilter series, completing its range of Sartoguard prefilters. These new prefilters feature a unique combination of high performance polyethersulfone (PES) membranes and highly innovative nanofleece technology.
This is the first time that PES nanofleece material is being used for liquid prefiltration applications in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The newly developed nanofleece technology provides an ultrafine fleece structure based on a small nanofiber diameter of 120-150 nanometer (nm) when compared with the fiber diameter of conventional fleece materials of greater that 500 nm. The resulting fleece structure offers enhanced clarification capabilities, even for extremely fine contaminants, along with a high-dirt holding capacity, fast flow rates and high total throughput performance.
Sartoguard NF prefilters are the ideal choice for downstream protection of more expensive sterilizing-grade and Mycoplasma-retentive filters in challenging prefiltration applications for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. In combination with their high total throughput performance, Sartoguard NF prefilters offer significant cost-saving potential due to their ultrafine retention performance, which ensures removal even of extremely small particulatebased contaminants.
Sartoguard NF filter elements are available in all common filter formats offered by Sartorius Stedim Biotech, such as SartoScale devices for small-scale filterability trials, as well as MidiCaps, MaxiCaps and standard filter cartridges for medium- and commercial-scale manufacturing. Sartoguard NF MidiCaps and MaxiCaps are the first fully gamma irradiatable prefilter series and can be easily integrated into single-use process equipment.
Sartoguard NF filters conclude the launch of the Sartoguard prefilter family, which includes the Sartoguard PES and Sartoguard GF prefilter series that have been successfully introduced to the market earlier. The Sartoguard prefilter family helps in reducing overall filtration costs in biopharmaceutical manufacturing thus helping biomanufacturers to cope with the increasing
cost pressure while maintaining and improving their high quality standards.
