Other Winona Ryder Quotes
My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.

I come here before you with nothing but HTML, PHP, CSS and Lua knowledge. Seeing how I consider myself skilled enough with Lua, I keep trying to do things in C++, that I could do in Lua.
Today I wanted to write some simple functions to detect which key is pressed, if a key is pressed, etc. All really basic and mostly useless seeing how most of these functions already exist.
Now I wanted to make some sort of function that works like this:
void keyDownCallback(int keyCode, function callbackFunc) { while(true) { if(keyIsDown(keyCode)) { callbackFunc(keyCode); } } }
I hope you instantly see what I mean, I'm trying to call a function that is supposed to be hooked at a certain key press.
How would I go about doing this? Making the callbackFunc actually work?
I hope I can get some help from you guys here.
PS: You're talking to a massive C++ noob here, so be careful not to make it too hard for me ;P

Seattle Ideas Competition
"The [in]-closure project goes far beyond a plain "public space"…it is the place where urban micro-events happen…conveying a social and interdependent economy based on time – a new type of commodity money to chat, debate, help ideas to germinate, be involved in community service, help, learn, play, relax, stroll, improve…" (ABF narrative)
What is the nature of public space in the coming century? How does that space function socially, economically, ecologically? Those are questions raised by the URBAN INTERVENTION ideas competition at Seattle Center, which recently completed its first phase. Three finalists were selected by a six person jury, with an additional seven commendations from a field of 107 international submissions. The finalists and all submissions can be seen here.
2012 is the 50th anniversary of Seattle World's Fair, which created the iconic Space Needle and a 74-acre civic campus called Seattle Center. The Center – home to theaters, museums, a film festival, and multiple cultural festivals throughout the year – has been undergoing a revitalization, with an updated master plan and new tenant groups. The city is also engaged in other significant public space development, notably a new waterfront master plan led by James Corner Field Operations.

Can't find the information you need? Have a research project? Pikes Peak Library District has a brand new program to help you.
Professional librarians at the East and Penrose Libraries are available to assist you with your information needs, whether you are looking for a great book to read, starting a business, or researching local history.
Research topics include, but are not limited to, finding materials for children or teens, locating health and wellness information, beginning legal research, and finding grant information for nonprofits. If you would like to learn how to search the library's catalog or subscription databases more efficiently, we can help you with that too.
Begin by completing the online form on our website. From our home page (ppld.org), click on Research and select Book a Librarian. You can also locate the service by clicking on the dropdown arrow under "How do I?" on the left side of the home page and selecting Book a Librarian.
Fill out the form with your information, including your library card number. If your research request differs from the options provided, describe your question or research need in as much detail as possible.
We'll look at your request and determine the best person on our staff to meet with you based on expertise and availability. We'll get back to you as soon as we can to schedule your appointment. Appointments may be scheduled for up to one hour at either the East or Penrose Library.
The Book a Librarian service is open to any PPLD cardholder. We cannot offer advice (e.g., medical, legal, investment) except to advise users of reputable sources of evaluative information. Also, we cannot offer troubleshooting or maintenance help with personal computers or devices. However, computer classes are available at several PPLD locations.
For questions, you can contact PPLD by email, chat, phone, or in person at any of our fourteen locations.

At a special event held at Penrose Library on Wednesday, February 13, El Pomar Foundation announced it had approved a challenge grant of $750,000 to support the Library's Tri-Building Project to create a 21st Century library system, which will bring significant improvements to Pikes Peak Library District.
The funds from El Pomar are earmarked for use at PPLD's Penrose Library, but the funds will allow for wider District-wide improvements at PPLD, including renovations and upgrades at PPLD's East Library and the opening of a new facility in 2014 at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive as well. PPLD's new facility will feature content creation areas for creative professionals, business incubation and hoteling space for small businesses and nonprofits, enhanced areas for job seekers to find career assistance, and much more!
El Pomar's generous grant will allow the Library to move forward on construction and renovation in 2013, with a projected opening of the new facility in 2014. The challenge grant is contingent upon The Pikes Peak Library District Foundation raising $3.15 million by January 1, 2016.

An Assistive Technology Station is an area set aside with equipment and software designed to help patrons who are blind, visually impaired, or those who have limited or no use of their hands to assist them with reading and writing tasks and accessing other resources on a personal computer. Pikes Peak Library District has two such stations: at Penrose and East libraries.
A typical station is equipped with an adjustable table, a large-print keyboard, a track ball mouse, headphones with attached microphone, and speakers. The computers are loaded with specialized software.
Although Library staff have a general knowledge of what is available at each location, it is the patron who becomes the expert user. The applications are so specialized with numerous hot keys and set-up requirements, they are mastered only as one spends time using each program.
For more information about these stations, you can watch the PPLD TV video above, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (719) 531-6333, x1371 or x2309.

A curious thing is happening to the air in the United States. It's getting cleaner.
Despite there being no real effort by Congress to address global warming and America's longstanding reputation as an energy hog, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions are falling.
The lackluster economy has something to do with it. But it doesn't fully explain what's happening. Consider that even factoring in a stronger economy, forecasters see greenhouse gas emissions continuing to fall.
It's possible the country may meet its pledge to reduce emissions 17% by 2020.
So what's going on?
Some of the reductions can be attributed to executive decisions taken by the Obama administration to curb pollution from power plants and other sources.
Investments in energy efficiency have also helped, along with state rules requiring utilities to purchase power from renewable sources.
But the main and most surprising reason: cheap natural gas.
"The primary reason by far is low natural gas prices," said Robert Stavins, director of the environmental economics program at Harvard.
Natural gas prices are so low largely thanks to hydraulic fracturing. Known as fracking, the process uses sand, chemicals, water and pressure to crack shale rock and allow the gas to flow.

Now this is a story all about how a high school student's life …
Updated: Friday, 13 Jul 2012, 10:16 AM EDT
Published : Friday, 13 Jul 2012, 10:14 AM EDT
Although I can remember singing Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" as a kid, it wasn't until I had my own child that my love for Guthrie really began.
Of course, as a music lover, I knew his influence and impact on folk music, but the little collection of children's songs I was given as a new mother is really what brought me to listen to more of Guthrie's music.
The younger me may not have been very interested in the dusty (literally) old history of Guthrie's career. But now that I'm older, I realize just how crucial Guthrie is to America in more ways than just as a member of some "music scene."
Within the confines of music scenes all over the country, however, he wrote powerful ballads that brought to light the pain of poverty, the harshness of government injustices and his undying love for the beauty and splendor of America.
It's interesting to realize that for such an important musical figure, most folks may only be able to name one or two songs Guthrie wrote. That's pretty disappointing, considering he wrote a staggering 3,000+ songs, along with penning two novels, during his very short 55 years.
Still, many of his song lyrics went unpublished and unrecorded as he battled Huntington's Chorea during the final years of his life. Thanks to friends, family and fans, Guthrie's songs still live on through today.
Notably among some of Guthrie's unpublished material released after his death is "Mermaid Avenue," an album recorded by Billy Bragg and Wilco in 1998. The album is named after the street where Guthrie lived on Coney Island.
Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, approached Bragg with a stack of her father's lyrics in hopes he might be able to get them out into the world for others to finally hear. It proved to be a big boost for moving Guthrie into the next century, with Bragg recording a follow-up volume a few years later.
For a quick course in Guthrie history, check out his official site woodyguthrie.org, run by daughter Nora, president of the Woody Guthrie Foundation.
Nora is also working with the Grammy Museum this year to celebrate what would have been Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday, July 14. They've planned a series of concerts, conferences and museum exhibits in hopes of luring a younger crowd into the Guthrie fan club.
And it could work. Guthrie's songs of protest, way of life and political beliefs are evergreen. His catalog, full of powerful ballads about his support of unions, migrant workers, and minorities, rings true with current events. It's a touchstone for modern music, America and freedom.
Listen and celebrate America's balladeer, Woody Guthrie, with this week's mixtape on Spotify.

A desirably picturesque tourist haunt, Moorish-style houses cling to Positano's steep hillsides. It's a pleasant walk down to the small grey beach and fishing harbour via narrow, flower-decked alleyways and steps, but the return journey takes some effort (luckily there's a bus). A domed church is Positano's main landmark. The town celebrates the Feast of the Assumption on 15th August by re-enacting a famous victory against the Saracens.

We enjoyed our stay at the Positano Art Hotel Pasitea. The hotel, especially the staff, was a highlight of our honeymoon.

"Great views"
The hotel is in a good spot and is easy to find if you're driving. The hotel offers parking however it seems you can park on the street for less (assuming you can find a spot). Its an easy walk down to the beach, although somewhat steep and you're better to catch the bus back up the hill just make sure you get off at the turnoff back to Positano. The […] bus ride is one way up to Nocelle not a circular route. We bought some prosecco and cheese and sat on our balcony overlooking the sea in the afternoon which was fabulous. Lonely planet has some good recommendations for restaurants. We ate at Da Vincenzo which was excellent. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Nice hotel"
I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The view was great. The room was very clean. The hotel staff was very helpful.I would recommend this hotel. The only issues I saw was the balcony area .There were only plants that separated my balcony from the next. You could see into your neighbor's room from the balcony as there was no real dividers between […] the rooms. You had to be careful that no one could see you undressing in your room. The hotel needs to put some screens in to protect their customers privacy. The next issue that I noted was they charged you for a cappuccino in the morning. They were the only hotel that did that during our travels in Italy. It seemed a little cheap.They did have a hot water heater with instant coffee in the rooms, so I guess that was their tradeoff.

We had romantic trip to Italy in February-March and stayed in this hotel for 5 days. We like this hotel. The breakfasts were just perfect for 4 star hotel! Every morning we had fresh and tasty cappuccino :) The girl who served us was always smiling, friendly and impeccable! Managers from reception desk were very helpful !!! They advised nice restaurants […] and beautiful places to visit. I am thankful them for their service! Our room was big and clean. We had our own balcony with amazing view to seaside of Positano!!! Only some minuses, that we had broken hair dryer and a maid didn't pay attention to it. When we asked to put pillows on chairs on balcony on our first day, nobody put them till the end of our staying. However I think this minuses are nothing comparing with BIG pluses which we had while we were in this hotel!!! További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Hotel Pasitea at the end of November. The staff were extremely helpful and did everything to make our stay more comfortable.

"Exceptional decks & views! Great service!"
Loved the deck and views. The room was clean and up to date. The bed was comfortable. I would spend the extra cash and get a taxi to this hotel as the bus is difficult with luggage and does not annouce where you are so, many people missed their stop. The service was attentive and caring, the breakfast was fine. The shower could use some mold killer […] as the mold was bad. As you can read in the reviews, the shower is tiny but; if you a medium sized or smaller person you will fit fine. This is a great destination hotel for a reasonable price. I liked this hotel.

"wonderful view"
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The man at the reception was very friendly, breakfast was pretty decent and we had a little balcony that had the most magnificent view. It could have used parking that was a bit cheaper, but overall I would definitely recommend it. And the room was massive!Hotels.com visszajelzések
"We got what we paid for."
The location was average but we got what we paid for. Service was the issue which let the property down, particularly at the reception desk. The staff were unprofessional and lazy. We were suprised as the other hotels which we visited and dined at in Positano provided service well above the Pasitea standard.Hotels.com visszajelzések
We found the hotel Pasitea to be very nice. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful in recommending places to eat. The hotel location is a bit of a hike but the local bus stop directly in front of the hotel. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. The balcony, while very small, provides enough space for two and offers a great view. The […] only thing we would have liked offered would have been a shuttle service upon arrival and departure. You either have to catch the bus with all your luggage or pay for a taxi. Leaving, you pay 5-8 euros per bag to have them waiting for you at the bottom. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Great views"
Stay was great. The staff was helpful and courteous. We has a great terrace and a gorgeous view. 2 of the 3 restaurants were right on. The 3rd was good but felt rushed.

We spent two nights at best western pasitea but was an unpleasant. Ppl at front desk were Not nice. They never pick up the phone and the wifi did not work for a Whole day.

"A getaway with girlfriends.."
Great hotel with superb, helpful staff at reception. Hotel is well located and rooms have great views except that the bougainvillia creeper on the railings is so overgrown that all the views are cut off from terrace and balcony unless you stand. It was impossible to even stand near the railings since the thorny stems were sticking out. They trimmed […] promptly on request towards the inside. But I suggest that the railings be clear of the stems to make good of the view. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Wonderful Vacation"
Our stay at Hotel Pasitea was wonderful. Our room (#20) was amazing - best room I have ever stayed in! Tony & Antonio at the front desk were great - very personable and helpful and saying goodbye to them was hard. The location was beautiful and we had a great time. Only downfall was the breakfast - they say you get what you pay for. Breakfast was free […] and very disappointing (the food was dry and not tasty - glad there was bread for toast!), and the young ladies working were unfriendly.

"Not fancy but great service"
The room was just big enough. The bed was not the most comfortable and the room seemed a little dirty compared to the fancier places we stayed on our trip. However with that said this hotel is a good deal in pricey Positano. The staff are very friendly and helpful and speak very good English. They were helpful with reservations and taxis. Beware it […] is a 20 minute walk to the beach and it is even long coming back but that is Positano. Positano is a beautiful town and this hotel is a good deal for the price.

Unfotunately, we were dissapointed with our stay at the hotel Pasitea. The location is good in Positano, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. However, the hotel is a bit outdated; the bathrooms are "yucky", with old tiles and mold on the caulking, grout, and on the floor. The rugs in the bedroom look dirty, and a covering blanket on the […] bed also looked old and in disrepair. The breakfast was good, although there is no fresh juice.

Great hotel - helpful staff and always happy to book restaurants and provide advice of where to go.

"False advertising/ Bad location/ Ok room."
One of the sites mentions that Hotel Pasitea has a shuttle - they do not. The people behind us at check-in also selected the hotel for this reason and they said they never heard this. They also claim free internet. This is true if you have your own computer/ pda. They will not let you use their computer without a charge. One person at the front desk […] is friendly, the other 2 are not. At least in shoulder season, we didn't like the location. Too far to "center" of town and very few shops/ restaurants within a quick walk. If booking again, we'd stay east of the "center" and not "west" The positive was that the internal city bus stops right in front of the hotel and it's only a 10 minute walk (up stairs) to the bus that goes to other Coastal towns. The room was ok, but hearing about the features of other's hotels, Hotel Pasitea was really basic. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Very nice hotel in a town of hotels"
Very pretty hotel, with some helpful and some not-so helpful staff. The location was good; 10 minutes walk from the beach, and the InterPositano bus stops right outside the door. Nice view from our balcony of the city and sea, close to good restaurants. The hotel itself was very clean, but it seemed as though perhaps housekeeping missed some spots in […] our room. There was a wadded up towel in the corner, but as we were only there a short time we didn't complain. I didn't see any pets, but our room smelled pretty strongly of cat urine, strangely. It was lessened by opening the doors so it was okay, but would smell a bit again if we'd shut the doors for a few hours. It wasn't unbearable, just a bit strange. It was very comfortable, and having the breakfast included was really great. It was buffet style and the food was pretty good; wide selection of pastries, yogurt, fruit, juice, cereal, coffee/tea. Overall, it was a nice hotel and I would reccomend it to a friend and I would stay there in the future. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Pasitea in Positano: Easy to find, wonderful staff"
Our room was very comfortable, bright and clean--nice towels and linens, and the mattress was plusher than most others we slept on in Italy. The art was a little weird, but the tile was lovely. We loved our little balcony and view of the water. Driving into town we had no idea what we were looking for (forgot to print a Google map), but it was right […] on the main road. We practically ran into it. We left our car out front to unload, and the man at the desk took care of the parking. (We knew from the website that parking would be expensive--budget some extra for that!) The hotel is a fairly long downhill walk to the beach and the main part of town, but the views along the way almost make you forget how far you are going and what all those stairs are doing to your knees. The circuit bus goes right by the hotel, so no worries about climbing back UP those stairs. The best thing about the hotel for us was the help from staff members, especially the next morning when we were leaving. The concierge recommended a restaurant way up the hill (Taglitea), told us how to get there, and even showed us a photo from the previous night when he'd dined with his wife. It was everything he said it would be, "like the Mama cooking!" We are vegetarians, and we didn't even have to look at a menu--we told the waiter and he just kept bringing us wonderful plates of vegetables and pasta. We had a very short time to stay in Positano, and directions about getting around town, using the bus, where to go, etc., were spot on and made our trip very enjoyable.

Comments about KidCo Angle-mount 9"" Wood Safeway Safety Gate Extension Kit:
I bought two gates, one for the top of the staircase and one for the bottom. My toddler is able to run around upstairs and downstairs without my husband and I worrying about her sneaking up or down the stairs. As soon as she figured out how to start climbing the stairs, it was time to put up a gate. This gate is unique in that the hinges swivel which is the reason why we purchased this particular gate. Our banister extends further than the wall on the opposite side. Most other baby gates we looked at had to line up evenly.It was very simple to install, and is sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of opening and closing all day long.

While Adam and Jamie are doing their thing Tory, Grant and Kari can be found busting myths and taking names.
Tory Belleci, expert model builder, sculptor and painter tends to the daredevil on the team. He has jumped out of several planes, wake-boarded behind a cruise ship, been chased by a crocodile, stared down a bull and swam with sharks. And, as a result of these stunts, he is often involved in comical accidents while testing myths.
Artist, engineer and MythBuster, Kari Byron brings the excitement. With a talent for model making and toy prototyping she has proven herself a valuable member of the MythBusters team. Kari brings a unique perspective to the show as a science chick and a working mom.
And finally, there's Grant. Grant Imahara, lovingly referred to as the "geek" of the build team, specializes in operating the computers and electronics for the myth experiments. As an engineer and former team member of Industrial Light and Magic, his expertise is often used in fun and interesting ways on the show.

English National Ballet - Beyond Ballets Russes - Programme 2
Visiting Company
Apollo, Handsome Young Chap from Le Train Bleu, World Premiere Jeux and Suite en Blanc
The Financial Times on Suite en Blanc
"every ballet company in Britain will be gnashing its teeth that they aren't dancing it."
London Evening Standard on Suite en Blanc
English National Ballet celebrates the legacy of the Ballets Russes with performances inspired by some of the troupe's great works. Ballets Russes productions were collaborations with major choreographers, composers, artists and dancers of the time including Pavlova, Picasso, Debussy, Chanel, Matisse, Nijinsky and Stravinsky.
The Chanel legacy lives on with Balanchine's Apollo where "The Muses' Lagerfeld tutus are beautiful, and a happy link with the fact that Gabrielle Chanel designed costumes for the Muses in 1928" (The Financial Times). This ballet by George Balanchine – himself a Ballets Russes dancer – is a neo-classical masterpiece which marked the young Balanchine's first collaboration with Stravinsky.
Artistic Director Wayne Eagling creates a new production of Nijinsky's Jeux with music by Debussy. The performance also features the Handsome Young Chap's solo from Nijinska's Le Train Bleu with music by Milhaud.
Following hit performances by English National Ballet in 2011, Suite en Blanc returns to the London Coliseum. It is a glittering heritage ballet which was choreographed by one of Diaghilev's star dancers Serge Lifar – "as flamboyant and proud, and life-enhancing a confection as any made before or since" (The Independent on Sunday)
These performances of Apollo, a Balanchine ® Ballet are presented by arrangement with the George Balanchine Trust and have been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style ® and Balanchine Technique ® Service standards established and provided by the Trust.
Suite en Blanc is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Editions Mario Bois, Paris
