I'm also not fully convinced by this strategy and I will likely change
it in the future. What I am convinced of is, that putting notebook
files under revision control is a major pain. Either that or I'm just
doing it wrong. I would be grateful for suggestions how to handle
merge conflicts of nb files! Resolving them seems to be a nearly
impossible task and generally not worth the time and hassle! The only
option I see is not to merge nb files at all, which kind of defies the
point of using revision control. So my strategy is twofold:
1) Separate code from output/plots... as much as possible
2) If this is not possible, work on the nb file, save as package and
check that into revision control. If something has to be merged I can
resave to a nb file, which works reasonably well I think... or does it

What do you mean by "generated artifacts"? Why does saving to a

This is actually what I would like to use, but the auto generated

About the Owner
About Jerry Henry
We have lived in Palau Saverdera for over ten years, we love the area as it's not spoilt by too many tourists, the season is only three months, which also we like.
Why Jerry Henry chose Alt Emporda
Palau Saverdera is a small working village, which has everything we wanted in a village, so we don't have to go down to where it's busy in holiday season if we don't want.
What makes this apartment unique
We are able to walk to the shops and restaurants in our village,
Some places are just urbanisations which have no ficilities in the area, we even have our own large village pool, which as a bar, and tennis courts, which you can use for a small amount, the staff do speak some English.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Even though we have only been operating for a few years we have a few family's that have returned to stay with us a few times, some have become friends.

Lovely apartment in a great location for the area .. Met by Jerry on arrival and made to feel very welcome .. made use of the pool and bbq every day .. 5 mins drive from Roses and the other beaches are an easy drive across the mountains .. The waterpark with new rides is just round the corner .. supermarkets are very close plus there are useful shops within walking distance .. we flew into Toulouse, stayed nearby overnight then drove down the next day which took a very easy couple of hours .. great views towards the sea .. Pasko's restaurant in the next village is a must ..
Great property, fab location, perfect host
We had the most wonderful week here. Jerry phoned us early on the morning of our arrival letting us know the property was ready. The welcome pack of bacon, eggs, milk, bread, butter. beer and wine was a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. The apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The pool and terrace were just fantastic - we made good use of the BBQ. Jerry really is the perfect host - friendly, informative and discreet. Roses is a large, bustling seaside town with a sandy beach - perfect for families - loads of restaurants, bars and things to see and do. Within a short drive there are many beautiful coves perfect for snorkelling. Cyclists are well catered for with quiet mountain routes. We can't recommend the property, area or Jerry highly enough. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jerry for a fantastic week!
Great location, super host
Jerry was a fantastic host. His response to mails prior to our arrival providing us with all information on the apartment and on how to get there were really helpful.
The apartment itself is spacious and provided us with everything that we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and Jerry even provided us with a stocked fridge for our first breakfast. Thank you! The apartment was clean and tidy on our arrival.
The pool, for our sole use, was a great treat not only for the children.
The location is ideal, away from the general tourist crowds and yet a short drive (6km) to the city of Roses.
Palau-Saverdera also has it's choice of restaurants within walking distance, so a trip to Roses wasn't always necessary.
There are many attractions close by, Jerry can advise on where to go and on how to get there.
This is certainly an apartment I would visit again and can recommend for a small family. Thank you Jerry for a lovely holiday.
Great holiday rental
From the moment we arrived at Gerrys apartment we knew we had struck lucky. We originally were going to book into the village hotel as abase for a weeks cycling but saw the reviews for this apartment and booked this instead. What a great choice. The apartment sits at the foot of the mountains and has fantastic views of both mountains and sea ( lovely sunsets too!)It is on the edge of a lovely old village with a number of nice restaurants. The small supermarket in the village provided everything we needed and was a 10 min walk. ( there is also a Carrefour about 2 miles away at Roses)We spent most of our time by the pool after our cycling and it was lovely to relax peacefully whilst having a cool dip in the spotlessly clean pool. The apartment itself was well equipped. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Gerry was a wonderful host and even invited me in to watch the football with him and his friends which was greatly appreciated.There are lovely beaches, the mountains are beautiful and we enjoyed visiting the Empuries ruins Cadaque, Castell, Sant Pere Pescador and Roses.Thank you Gerry so for a lovely stayJand we hope to return next year.
Excellent Property in Beautiful Location
This apartment is set next to the lovely village of Palau-Saverdera and enjoys great views of the mountains and sea. It has a beautiful pool and terrace area where we spent several hours each day. The pool was very clean and well maintained and we really enjoyed it.
The location is terrific, within easy reach of good restaurants, beaches, and shopping.
Jerry proved to be an excellent host with lots of information about the locality and providing detailed directions and maps to many places of interest. He couldn't have been more helpful.
Overall I can highly recommend this property and this location.
excellent property
The property was just as described in the listing and the views even better. It was extremely clean and comfortable especially the beds. The welcome pack provided was very generous and much appreciated ,and the owner and housekeeper very helpful. The pool looked beautiful but we were too early in the season to make use of it. There were many interesting coastal and medieval inland villages within a short drive. Local facilities within walking distance included shops and several restaurants and larger stores were only a short drive away.We would certainly recommend the property to friends and relatives. For us one of the major plus points was the peace and quiet of the location..
From the Owner
"Palau Saverdera is a small working village, which has everything we wanted in a village, so we don't have to go down to where it's busy in holiday season if we don't want."

Smoky Shrimp and Grits
Old-school Southern cooks prepare grits with an abundance of butter and cheddar. To make the dish less heavy, Grace Parisi cuts back on the cheese, drops the butter altogether and adds spinach.
Slideshow:More Delicious Shrimp Dishes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking grits
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded (3/4 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup snipped chives
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 pound shelled and deveined medium shrimp
- 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
How to make this recipe
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Gradually add the grits and a generous pinch of salt. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and porridge-like, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper and stir in the cheddar cheese, baby spinach and chives; stir until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted. Cover the grits and keep warm.
In a large skillet, heat the canola oil with the garlic over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and paprika, season with salt and black pepper and cook until the shrimp are opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until the shrimp are white throughout and the garlic-paprika sauce is slightly reduced.
Spoon the grits into bowls, top with the shrimp and sauce; serve.
Suggested Pairing
Creamy grain-based dishes taste great with silky, full-bodied Chardonnays.

Nip, tuck up in bed ... Photograph: Roger Tooth
In what seems like a new, even uglier phase in the battle of crassness and decency, a new book has come out, called My Beautiful Mommy. Dr Michael Salzhauer's heartwarming story deals with the questions that spring to the mind of a 4-7 year old when Mommy decides to go off to the plastic surgeon to make comely the bits of the body that head south or crinkle up after having too many 4-7 year-olds. To help you decide, if you are confused, whether this is a triumph for crassness or decency, bear in mind that the work was written by a plastic surgeon. And that the surgery involved also covers nose jobs, although there is no evidence that having children makes your nose any less attractive than it was before.
I have not, I should admit, read the book myself. But I've read some of the dialogue ("As I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better", etc). I've also seen the cover, and, after spending the last half hour trying to work out what is the most loathsome thing about it, have given up and instead pass on the link so you can have a go.
So never mind the contents of the book, or the debate about plastic surgery itself, or the rather disturbing fact that the author of the book has given his hero-surgeon the same first name as himself. I want to prompt one of our civilised online debates about the whole issue of children's books being written precisely in order to address social ills.
On the one hand the trend is a testament to the enduring redemptive power of art. On the other hand it's a thoroughly nauseating and cynical spectacle. Also, I wonder about the worth of a literature which is based on purely utilitarian principles. I think of my own forthcoming titles on the subject, including Why We've Started Going to Church Even Though We're Not Remotely Religious and Why Daddy Had His hand up the Au Pair's Jumper That Night. They're not exactly Alice in Wonderland or The Wind in the Willows, I'll have to be the first to concede. Children's literature should be about escaping from all this crap, not having some highly one-sided representation of a concern better dealt with by a personal, face-to-face talk.
Then again, it all depends on which side of the political divide you fall. The idea of My Beautiful Mommy drives me berserk with rage, but remember the pro-gay parenting book, Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin? I suspect it might have been stylistically undistinguished, but I thought the idea behind it was great, particularly as it wound up exactly the kind of people you like seeing wound up.
Which makes me wonder - at what point does this kind of work slide away from utility and become propaganda?
Isn't all this stuff propaganda anyway? Who reads this kind of rubbish? Obviously not me - but then these books are so clearly pushing an agenda, that you don't have to. Kids are better at spotting this kind of moral arm-twisting for what it is than we give them credit for.

Chicken Pineapple Curry
This Chicken Pineapple Curry recipe is the perfect way to introduce curry to your family. We've used a pleasant mild yellow curry to get you started and included sweet pineapple to balance the spices in this dish. It is ready in less than 30 minutes. Serve over rice.

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 can (12 fluid ounces) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 to 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 1 MAGGI Chicken Flavor Bouillon Cube
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
- 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
Directions, Reviews, Nutrition
STIR in bell pepper and broccoli (if using frozen broccoli, add for last 3 minutes). Cover; gently simmer for 6 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Remove from heat; stir in pineapple. Serve with cooked rice.
• If your family is new to curry, start with 1 teaspoon of curry powder. Taste and add more, if desired.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Add unsweetened coconut flakes
Add unsweetened coconut flakes when serving and it was a hit. I wonder if it could be adapted to a crock pot by adding the evaportated milk at the end of the cooking.
Simply Delicious!
Great recipe and easy to make! Comes together quickly and everyone enjoyed. I used crush pineapple to offset the larger vegetables and made for a nice heavier sauce.
Chicken Pineapple Curry
This recipe was so easy to make and the taste was wonderful. I can't wait for my daughter to try a taste. She loves curry and I know she'll have to have the recipe.
Chicken Pineapple Curry
This dish was very good and easy to put together, my family loved it. Since my family do not like broccoli I use cauliflower,the pineapple and chicken combination was wonderful.
A must try!
We love chicken curry. This is a fun twist on my chicken curry that I make once a week. I served it rolled up in a tortilla wrap. Sooo very good!

EPoX has made a name for itself in the motherboard market as a company that makes highly overclockable motherboards with a wide range of BIOS tweaks that you don't find on most other motherboards. The 4PDA2+ is EpoX's high-end Intel 865PE board and when you look at the wide range of features it lives up to its positioning.
As with most of the boards based on the Intel 865PE chipset the 4PDA2+ features the ICH5R with native support for S-ATA RAID. On top of this EPoX has fitted a second S-ATA controller from Silicon Image that gives you an additional two S-ATA connectors.
Not satisfied with that EPoX has also included a Highpoint IDE RAID controller as well. So, in theory you could connect a total of 12 drives to the 4PDA2+ if you use a combination of IDE and S-ATA.
You'll find Firewire with support for three ports on the board, although EPoX has only supplied a bracket for two. The onboard LAN is from Broadcom and is a Gigabit solution. It's a shame that EPoX hasn't taken full advantage of the 865PE chipset and fitted an Intel CSA based Gigabit network chip. The advantage of CSA is that it has its own bus connecting it directly to the chipset and thus doesn't have to share the slower and more congested PCI bus. A C-Media 5.1-channel audio codec with software Dolby Digital support rounds of a well featured motherboard.
As with most of EPoX high-end motherboards you get a set of Post80 Debug LED's that can be very helpful in locating any problems you might experience with your motherboard or any other component fitted to it. It is however a shame that EPoX hasn't seen it fit to supply all the brackets for all the headers on the board as you end up loosing four USB 2.0 ports, the S/PDIF module is optional and so is the third Firewire port and the second serial port. You at least get a game port on a bracket, but this seems to be the least useful bracket supplied. There are two S-ATA cables included as well as two S-ATA power adapters. You also get a set of round IDE cables in the box.
The manual is up to EpoX's usual standards, although this might be a bit too technical for some. The only thing missing is a quick setup guide in colour, but EPoX has done better than most. A copy of PC-cillin 2002 and Norton Ghost is supplied on the driver CD, although not the greatest bundle around it is still useful.
The 4PDA2+ managed to keep up in the benchmarks and came out in the top half. This might not be amazing, but when you consider that EPoX is asking for less than £100 for this board, it put things in a different light.
This board may have a few issues, but looking at the price of the 4PDA2+ there is very little to complain about. At under £100 this board provides a well rounded value orientated package

- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (from one 28-ounce can)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 pounds tilapia fillets
- 1 1/2 cups chopped drained and rinsed artichoke hearts (one 14 1/2-ounce can)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
How to Make It
In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine, tomatoes, rosemary, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, covered, for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the fillets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Nestle the fish in the sauce, bring back to a simmer, and continue simmering gently, covered, until just done, about 6 minutes for 1/2-inch-thick fillets.
Carefully remove the fish from the pan. Stir the artichoke hearts and parsley into the sauce and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in any accumulated juices from the fish. Spoon the sauce over the tilapia.
Fish Alternatives: Cod, haddock, grouper, and Chilean sea bass fillets would all work well in this recipe.
Wine Recommendation: The acidity in the tomatoes makes this a good candidate for pairing with an assertive, acidic white wine with plenty of character. A sauvignon blanc, either from the Loire Valley in France (such as a Sancerre) or from California, would be a good choice.

Feted in Gaza, Hamas leader hits out at Israel
By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Crispian Balmer
GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, in a defiant speech during his first ever visit to Gaza, told a mass rally on Saturday he would never recognize Israel and pledged to "free the land of Palestine inch by inch".
A sea of flag-waving supporters poured into the city centre for celebrations to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Islamist group, which has ruled the Gaza Strip - a small splinter of coastal land - since 2007.
Meshaal was born in the nearby West Bank but spent all his adult life in exile before arriving in Gaza on Friday for a triumphal visit. The trip comes two weeks after an eight-day conflict between Israel and Hamas that ended with a ceasefire.
"Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on an inch of the land," he told the crowds, saying he wanted the Palestinians to have all the territory that makes up modern-day Israel.
"We will never recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation and therefore there is no legitimacy for Israel, no matter how long it will take," he said.
Hamas said 500,000 attended the four-hour rally, held under a leaden winter sky. There was no independent crowd estimate.
"Oh dear Meshaal, your army struck Tel Aviv," supporters chanted, referring to missiles that Hamas's Qassam military brigade fired for the first time last month at Israel's largest city, 70 km (40 miles) up the coast, and also at Jerusalem.
"Oh Qassam, do it again, hit Haifa next time," the crowds said, referring to a port city north of Tel Aviv. Continued...

McCarren Park will expand by 33,800 square feet
The beloved Williamsburg green space has gotten approval from the city to expand—but it will have to secure funding first.
Mon Sep 16 2013

Williamsburg is getting a green boost with a 33,800-square-foot expansion of McCarren Park. The proposal—which dates back to 2010—was at last approved by the city, according to DNAinfo, and will turn Union Avenue between Driggs Avenue and North 12th Street (where the Greenmarket takes place on Saturdays) into parkland. To complete that conversion, though, the parks department will need additional funding; in the meantime, the street—which currently intersects the park—will be converted to a pedestrian plaza as early as summer 2014.
Since the expansion will essentially swallow up a trafficked street, there has been some opposition from drivers to demapping the road. In response, the 2010 proposal suggested rerouting traffic via North 12th Street or Lorimer Street. Motorists are also worried about the loss of parking; the rezoning will gobble up 34 parking spaces—in exchange for 33K square feet of parkland. You do the math.

EBU General Assembly in Vienna
More than 100 delegates from 32 countries were in attendance at the European Boxing Union General Meeting held in Vienna on June 1. Almost all the European countries were represented at the meeting organized by the Austrian Federation FVA.
During the meeting of the board of directors held May 30 (representing the major boxing nations such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France and Germany etc) it was decided unanimously, not to favour professional boxing taking place in the Olympic Games. This decision was supported almost unanimously by the representatives of 32 European countries during the General Assembly the following day.
President Bob Logist underlined once again the importance of the suspension list. Boxers suspended for medical reasons should never be affiliated by another organisation or federation.
The award for the boxer of the year went to Kubrat pulev ex-equo with Stephane Jamoye, the award of promoter of the year went to OPI 2000 Salvatore and Christian Cherchi and the fight of the year for Haskins versus Jamoye.
Vice President Charles Giles and Vice President Pertti Augustin presented a special award to Willibald Palatin and to Sauerland Events.
The Republic of Macedonia and Kosovo were accepted as full members, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Turkey as provisional.
Italy ( Brindisi ) will host the next general assembly and Serbia, Macedonia and Turkey are already candidates for the following years.
In the evening a typical Austrian gala dinner was offered by FVA to all delegates and their families.

You are herecontent / Cities Voice Opposition to War in Iraq
Cities Voice Opposition to War in Iraq
By John Yaukey, Gannett News
Resolutions part of trend, experts say.
Cities don't make foreign policy.
But that hasn't stopped dozens of towns from Berkeley, Calif., to Chicago to Cambridge, Mass., from passing resolutions calling for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
The resolutions typically note the growing US military death toll, now more than 2,100, as well as the financial burden, approaching a quarter-trillion dollars. The Chicago City Council calculated it could pay more than 31,000 teachers for a year with its annual share of the war cost.
It's part of what polls indicate and social observers say is a growing antiwar sentiment among Americans now exhausted from the war, if not philosophically against it.
"I follow the news, and it's painful," said Michigan resident Deborah Regal, a member of the antiwar group Military Families Speak Out and the mother of a Marine in Iraq. "It just grinds you down to the point where you're very conscious of every day that passes because you know what the troops are going through."
Keenly aware of this, President George W. Bush sought to shore up support for the war Wednesday by outlining a 35-page plan for stabilizing Iraq and eventually withdrawing US troops.
"This will take time and patience," he said.
But the war is straining the endurance of even stalwart supporters of the invasion nearly three years ago. The antiwar movement got a major boost two weeks ago when Rep. John Murtha, a hawkish Democrat from Pennsylvania and a former Marine, called for a rapid US troop pullout, claiming Iraq cannot be won militarily.
Former Marine Ken Rogers considers himself a patriot, and his views on the war now align with Murtha's.
"Our guys are going over there and getting their butts shot off, for what?" the 40-year-old Tennessean said. "We have overstayed our welcome in Iraq."
Iraq is approaching critically important Dec. 15 parliamentary elections. If the elections fail to unite Iraqis and the country appears to be slipping into civil war, the call for a withdrawal could further intensify.
Movement, Message
It's difficult to know how large the antiwar movement is because much of it is only loosely connected through umbrella organizations. One of them, United for Justice with Peace, lists hundreds of affiliate groups on its Web site, www.justicewithpeace.org.
The American Friends Service Committee, which is affiliated with the Quaker Church, has organized people in 611 communities across the country as part of its "Not one more death. Not one more dollar" campaign.
This fall, the antiwar groups MoveOn.org and True Majority helped organize more than 1,300 antiwar vigils in all 50 states.
The peace movement is also active in Iraq, as evidenced by the recent capture of four Western activists, including an American.
Tom Andrews, national director of Win Without War and a former congressman, said with congressional elections looming next year, the resonance of the antiwar message is more important than the size of the movement.
"There's a lot of nervousness in those congressional hills," Andrews said. "So what matters for us now is what the American public thinks and what the people" on Capitol Hill think.
Sensing growing unrest over the war, more than 70 House members have formed an Out of Iraq caucus calling for troop withdrawals but establishing no timeline. Senators overwhelmingly passed a resolution recently calling for 2006 to be a year of "significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty."
Polls show lawmakers have plenty to be concerned about. More than half of respondents in a recent USA TODAY-CNN-Gallup Poll want US troops out of Iraq in the next 12 months.
In 1970, roughly half of those surveyed wanted to withdraw US troops from Vietnam within 12 months.

Hopefully I won't have to don a flame suit for this thread, lol, but I'd really like to enjoy the music from the motor on my '14 hatch. The thing that I'm hung up on is whether going with an axle-back (while retaining the stock midpipe/resonator) or going with a cat-back system has any significant difference in overall sound quality, drone, and ability to tune the car in the future. I don't have any intention in modding my car to the point where I need to have the ecu reflashed... at least for now. I'd prefer something that has little to no drone, and doesn't sound like some fart-can piece o ****. Losing ground clearance with an aftermarket exhaust would be a downer too.
Any experiences and opinions of using either setup would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there's any vendors that give ClubWRX members any kind of discount for buying the products they stock, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks!

Joel Klein: Give Black a Chance
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country we bring you the unmissable quotes from political conversations on WNYC. On today's Brian Lehrer Show, Joel Klein, New York City's outgoing schools chancellor, reflected on the accomplishments and challenges of his eight and a half years in office and talked about the possibility of a Cathie Black-led Department of Education.
As outgoing New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein prepares to hit the dusty trail toward News Corp, he's quick to defend his replacement Cathie Black from what he says is premature criticism.
Many New Yorkers, and the majority of an advisory council, are not happy with Mayor Bloomberg's choice of Black for this post, citing her lack of experience in K-12 education. However, Klein said that's not really an issue: he came from a similar non-education background, but he was successful because he relied on a strong team of hand-picked advisors with a wide range of expertise while in office. It's what any effective chancellor should do, he said.
I had support and I think that's important, having the people around you who can provide the knowledge and expertise. Right from the beginning, I wanted strong people in technology because so much needed to be done in that area. Strong people in finance, strong people in pedagogy. People build a team, and the good news right now is that the team we have in the department is extraordinary and I think will provide the support that Cathie Black needs.
Cathie Black asked for "patience" from New Yorkers as she becomes familiar with the issues facing K-12 education in the city. That particular comment, and her particular choice of words, has been a sticking point for her critics. According to Joel Klein, though, there's no way an incoming chancellor wouldn't need lots of time to get up to speed.
It's a process in which you grow more expert every day. I've been doing this for eight and a half years and I still have things I want to learn. The first reading program I adopted didn't work. Paradoxically, that was precisely the program recommended by the so-called educational expert. When people are steeped in an organization, sometimes they really get internally focused. I was an outcome, results-driven guy from day one. We've had some disputes about how you measure that exactly, but we've moved this organization to a results-driven organization, and that's a big cultural change. I don't think people who grow up in an organization are likely to be able to affect that cultural change...No human being has all the skills. But if you don't understand the comprehensive challenges and you focus only on the pedagogical issues, then I think you're really gonna miss the forest for the trees.
And it's a big, scary forest. Klein said he was most proud of the 20 percent jump in high school graduation rates during his tenure, but there's still a long, long way to go in making sure that all of New York City's children are prepared for higher education.
I don't think people understand the challenges our children will face in the 21st century, the skills that will be demanded of them. If you don't make it through higher education these days or at least definitely have the job skills the markets are demanding, you're not going to be able to succeed. Too often the disruptive noise of changing status quos gets in the way. In terms of things I wish I'd done differently, I wish we'd pushed it harder, pushed it more aggressively, and that Id spent time developing more of the political support.
Also on Cathie Black's too-long to-do list may be the unhappy task of dealing with teacher layoffs. Should that come to pass, Klein said he hopes that the Department of Education will reform the process. The current state law governing teacher layoffs targets those to be fired based on seniority, or lack thereof. Klein says that's a mistake.
I think you can devise a fair system. But to simply say the last person we hired is the first to go makes no sense. No other industry would do that, and I think it's not appropriate for public school teachers. We really ought to think about how we professionalize teaching and focus on excellence. I think teaching, if you focus on excellence, will increasingly become seen as a profession, as a highly desired profession.
Can a schools chancellor who's never worked in a school affect that sort of systemic change? Joel Klein thinks so, and not just because that was his background. He brought up examples of other chancellors and superintendents like Arne Duncan from Chicago, or Michael Bennet from Denver—people with management background and little education experience, but who were still considered successes in office.
These people, every single one of them, would not have been qualified for the credentials that are required. I think people are looking at the wrong issue in this. Right now in this department I've got six deputy chancellors who among them have close to 200 years of experience, and it seems to me [Cathie Black] will have all the support she needs at every level, indeed deeper levels of expertise because of the way we have structured it.
At one point the conversation turned toward rumors that Klein really left office because he had lost the confidence of Mayor Bloomberg, that perhaps their relationship had soured and Bloomberg no longer wanted him. Klein was adamant to the contrary. He said that Bloomberg wanted him to stay, even asked him to do so, but that he respectfully declined to pursue other opportunities. Any controversy, he said, is manufactured.
In all those discussions there's no question what the mayor's preference was. Now were there people at city hall who groused? The nameless, gutless, faceless people who do this kind of thing in the newspaper, who don't have the courage to stand up? I'm sure there are. I worked in the White House for President Clinton and I saw this happen all the time. But in terms of the mayor and myself, our relationship was solid, it remains solid, and I meant it sincerely when I said that this was the best job anyone's ever given me, and for that I am deep in his debt.

How the Super Air Knife™ Works
Compressed air flows through the inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Super Air Knife. The flow is directed to a precise, slotted orifice. As the primary airflow exits the thin slotted nozzle (2), it follows a flat surface that directs the airflow in a perfectly straight line. This creates a uniform sheet of air across the entire length of the Super Air Knife. Velocity loss is minimized and force is maximized as the room air (3) is entrained into the primary airstream at a ratio of 40:1. The result is a well defined sheet of laminar airflow with hard-hitting force and minimal wind shear.
How the Standard & Full-Flow Air Knife™ Works
Compressed air flows through the inlet (1) into a plenum chamber. It is then throttled through a thin nozzle (2) extending the length of the Standard Air Knife. This primary airstream adheres to the Coanda profile (3), which turns it 90° and directs the flow down the face of the unit. The primary stream immediately begins to entrain surrounding air (4), for an amplification ratio of 30:1 at 6" (152mm) away.

Review HCC Open Hotel Barcelona
Page Content
The hotel lobby is large; with sand coloured marble floors and a deep green marble wall. The front desk is wide and sits before a gaping open space, giving the hotel a sense of grandeur. The hotel is likely to be popular with businesses - firstly, for its location close to the Fira de Barcelona and secondly, due its meeting room facilities (detailed below).
Hotel Facilities
Hotel HCC Open has no pool or gym. However, guests are granted access to all other hotels in the HCC groups. Some of these hotels, including the nearby St Moritz, are four-star. They offer a pool and terrace area.
There is a bar in the hotel. There is no restaurant in the hotel.
No pets are allowed in the hotel.
Business Facilities
There are two meeting rooms in the hotel. One holds approximately 100 people; the other holds approximately 50 people.
There is free Wi-Fi in the reception area and bar of the hotel for all guests. There is one computer with internet access for guests' use.
Facilities for the Disabled
There are 3 rooms in the hotel that have been adapted for disabled use. They have widened doors and extra bathrooms with a special bath. There are lifts to all floors.
There are a total of 100 rooms in the hotel, over 7 floors. All rooms are either twins, doubles or triples. It is possible to add an extra bed to the rooms. This is free of charge for children under 12. Cots are also available for the rooms free of charge.
For those hoping for a quiet room, it is best to reserve one in the interior of the building. However, the rooms at the front of the building have double-glazed windows.
All rooms include satellite television, telephone, air-conditioning, a mini-bar and a safe.
Hotel Location and Facilities
HCC Open Hotel is located a few minutes walk from Gran Via Corts Catalanes. This is a major road, linking Plaza Universitat to Plaza Espanya. However, the road does not just act as a thoroughfare, it holds much of interest itself. Casa Golferichs is located on the road, at number 491. This is a small building that houses a civic centre and is beautiful from the exterior, due to its wooden arches and colourful tiles.

Also on Gran Via Corts Catalanes, at number 546, is one of Barcelona's best patisseries - Escriba. This is a creative space, famed for its interesting creations. These include rings made from intricate patterns in sweets, red chocolate lips and bespoke celebratory cakes. It is possible to watch these works of wonder being created in a small workshop at the back of the shop. There is also a small café in the building.
At number 616 of Gran Via Corts Catalanes there is Barcelona's biggest travel bookshop. Even if you have no interest in buying a travel book, it is worth a visit for its beautiful interior. Its exposed pipes, comfortable couches and dim lamps give the space an air of magic in keeping with all of the old bookshops.
Many people staying at the hotel will be pleased by its close proximity to Fira de Barcelona. This is one of Barcelona's largest conference centres, where large conventions take place throughout the year.
Most necessary amenities can be found on Gran Via Cort Catalanes and its surrounding areas. These include pharmacies, banks, internet cafés and bureaus de change.

Public transport transfer options
Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport should take about 25 minutes.
Taxi Fare: €30.00 - €35.00
Via Train: The RENFE train leaves the airport every half an hour and will take you to Passeig de Gràcia in 25 minutes. You can either use the T10 transport ticket from the airport (a ticket for 10 separate journeys on Barcelona public transport system) or you can buy a single fare ticket. You then change at Passeig de Gràcia onto the Yellow Line metro and travel one stop to Urquinaona and then change onto the Red Line and travel to Rocafort. Your hotel is then 10 minutes walk from the metro.

In a nutshell
HCC Open Barcelona is a standard hotel that offers the added bonus of a pass to its more glamorous sister hotels. It is likely to be popular amongst those attending conventions at Fira de Barcelona conference centre. However, it is still well placed for tourists - within 15 minutes walking distance of the Ramblas and Passeig de Gràcia.

Hi everyone!
I am so exited to tell you this. Here we go...
I am the new owner of the famous MSH Boba Fett
helmet that Fett Pride him self had on his own
life size Boba Fett statue and for his suit.
And Fett pride did the outstanding paintjob
and all the modifying for a long time I heard,
as well as the creation of the helmet it self with
help from Natty15, also a great talent!
He is one talented TDH and RPF member and the
job he had put into this helmet is oustanding.
This is the best replica you could ever have
I think from the Star Wars trilogy.
This is all thanks to our very own RPF member
Well pade killer. He told me about the helmet,
and I became very interested.
But before I knew it was for sale, he told me
that there where many offers already for it,
from members here and I gave him the offer he
couldn´t refuse.
Once again, I want to thank Fett Pride for an
fantastic replica as well as Well Pade kille for
letting me buy it and for all the help with
the shipping. Thanks!
Here are some new pictures!

I just broadcasted some Japanese millet on a small part of my duck lease. The area already had some vegetation in it, and the soil was extremely moist.
Does anyone konw what kind of soil conditions are best for planting millet, and will it grow up through other short vegetation?

Love that place!! Lovely photos! The best food and such a gorgeous pool and patio. I had my own wedding just a tiny bit higher up the hillside at a Medieval castle. A lot of my guests stayed at San Michele. Truly one of the world's most exquisite hotels. (It was off limits for my wedding for personal reasons).
GORGEOUS! Congrats 🙂
Even if you're not having a NYC wedding at the new leaf cafe, you should still visit the beautiful cafe below!
So Happy when i got this in the mail!
A wedding looks so great when it's in a magazine! I don't know but it just feels right!
Was happy to be hired as a nyc wedding photographer at Fort Tryon Park and reception followed at New Leaf Cafe.
Such a great venue for a small spring summer wedding. A NYC wedding in the New Leaf Cafe is just perfect.

Striking and then some
i have a question for some experienced guys out there. I want some good techniques or tips on how to win a fight. I am not a ***** or anything but i scrap around sometimes and do alright but watned to know what a pro would do in a stand up situation . My body type is average height about 5 ' 8 " with good muscle mass and strength at about 180lbs.
any ideas ?
Though it is hard to answer, from your body type you sound like an inside fighter or a really fast/explosive guy. Not that you are, but that would be optimal for the above mentioned frame. I would recomend small steps and a tight defense, when you get in side explode on the first opening you see with hooks and upercuts. Most importantly however would be to remember good technique, protect yourself at all times, and know your opponent.
I my self am 6'4 and 1/2, I wiegh about 215lbs. I am pretty quick for my size and i like to move around and throw jabs and crosses alot. If I see an opening I will unload a combo or maybe one big over hand. However, my long arms keep me from being effective inside so it is always neccesary for me to get a good clinch. If I can control a guys head or arms it makes inside fighting alot easier for me because shorter arms are faster. Holding a good clinch on the back of the neck can definatley add power as well.
Sorry, I would also like to add that my advice may not be right for you. Only you can develope your style.
learn a little from every style
