When something so good and beautiful is meant to be in your life and change you for the better... even when it doesn't click the first time you will have second chances. This has proven itself twice in my life. One of these occasions was meeting my best friend and the second was becoming a proud Swiftie. In 2007 I was driving with my Dad and sister in my Dad's jeep with the top down in Sparks, NV when a song came on the radio that I instantly feel in love with.... Picture to Burn. Driving in the open desert hills with my hair flying everywhere with some of my favorite people in the world is one of my favorite memories and it wouldn't have been so magical if that song wasn't playing. A few years later I turned 13 and received a radio Disney cd with Teardrops on my Guitar pop version. Shortly after I heard Love Story. Finally it clicked. Taylor became a vital daily necessity. My parents could expect Taylor to be brought up in every conversation and 13's to be on my hand at all times. As I grew, Taylor effected my daily choices, the way I thought about things and who I was as a person. I am so thankful to have Taylor in my life. Now I'm 16 and Taylor is as important, if not more, in my life! So Taylor if you read this I hope you know how much you mean to "just another wide eyed girl"
Hi my name is Myfanwy. I've been alive for 16 years now, I been a Taylor Swift fan since I was 13... what a kawinkydink! :) I also love Jonas Brothers, Ed Sheeran, James Taylor, Reba McEntire, Duffy, Hunter Hayes, Hilary Duff ( I still watch Lizzie McGuire) Lee Brice, The Band Perry, Jennette Mccurdy. I'm a big country music fan. I love to shop for second hand books and antiques. I make cards, scrapbook, and paint along with graphics, so why not check out my graphic shop?? If I had to pick one word to describe myself it would be random..I also am guilty of using that word too much :)
I love meeting new Swifties so feel free to friend me, message me or add a comment! Also check out my blog!!
I love all things Taylor and dress like her most of the time. Over the years I find I'm obsessed with sweaters, birdcages, Taylor Swift, fireflies, gold frames, sundresses, white Christmas lights, the word random, heeled oxfords, Taylor's tweets, 13, and Love. I think Love is a word that should be used more often then hate.
I was lucky enough to go to Taylor's Speak Now concert on August 27 2011, It will be rembered...
Here are some graphics from other users that I find just stunning!

I love that picture she's so cute and nice and so Swift and he's so "silly" ( in the good way pf the word, I'll never say something like that to a genius.. never..ever....ever......) and soo Sheeran!!! YEAH!

Student music groups to perform
WORTHINGTON –– Local music lovers will have their pick of concerts early next week when hundreds of student musicians from Worthington Middle School (WMS) and Worthington High School (WHS) perform Monday and Tuesday nights, respectively.By: Jane Turpin Moore, Worthington Daily Globe
WORTHINGTON –– Local music lovers will have their pick of concerts early next week when hundreds of student musicians from Worthington Middle School (WMS) and Worthington High School (WHS) perform Monday and Tuesday nights, respectively.
"March is 'Music in our Schools Month,' so it's an appropriate time for us to have these concerts and help raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children," said Jeanette Jenson, a WMS general music instructor and director of the fifth-grade band.
Leading the charge will be more than 200 WMS band students, who are in concert Monday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Auditorium. The fifth- through eighth-grade bands, under the direction of Michael Andersen and Jenson, plan to share selections including "Ceremonium," "Theme from Dallas," "Peace Like a River," "Childhood Hymn" and "Jungle Dance," among others. Justin Spaethe will emcee the event, which is the school's second annual "Music in Our Schools Concert."
"We have seen much growth in our bands since the winter concert, and we're excited for our students to perform at Memorial Auditorium," said Jenson.
A multi-faceted program featuring all four of the WHS major music ensembles grabs the spotlight Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the WHS gymnasium for the annual Region 2AA Large Group Contest Concert.
Guest adjudicators/clinicians will offer critiques following each ensemble's performance.
"This concert marks the only time on the school-year calendar when all the WHS large music groups perform together," said Jon Loy, WHS band director. "It's become the highlight concert of the year."
Loy says his 105-member concert band has "its most demanding contest program we've done in recent years, due to the difficulty of the pieces involved.
"The kids have really grown through the process, both musically and emotionally," he continued. "It's hard to get a band to play with emotion, and to have that come across to the listener, but they've done a nice job of capturing that in the pieces."
"Prelude and Rondo" by David Holsinger, "Jubilant Flourishes" by Travis J. Weller and "Cumberland Cross" by Carl Strommen comprise the band's concert order.
"Our horn section, and low brass in general, are very strong this year, and all sections of the band have worked really hard," commented Loy.
Daniel Eye, director of bands at West Central High School in Hartford, S.D., will be the band clinician for the night.
"Mr. Eye produces some great talent at West Central High School, he brings his band to the King Turkey Day each year and his bands always place very high in the South Dakota band festival annually," said Loy.
Kerry Johnson's 78-voice Concert Choir and 60-voice Trojan Choir are set to share challenging programs as well.
"The Concert Choir will do 'Tshotsholoza,' a rhythmic South African number that features senior tenor Alex Hayenga, and 'Magnificat' by Minnesota composer Rene Clausen," said Johnson. "We're really honored to be doing a piece by a Minnesotan, and the kids picked it out after listening to several possible selections.
"The Trojan Choir's numbers are lively, and they've been enjoying them," she added. "A couple of their pieces, which include 'Give Us Hope,' 'Let There be Music' and 'It Takes a Village,' have a world music flair to them and were fun to put together."
Dr. Paul Nesheim of Augustana College, who worked with the Honor Choir students at last fall's Southwest Conference Choral Festival, will be the choral adjudicator Tuesday.
"He has a lot of enthusiasm, a great sense of humor and excellent credentials, so we anticipate some helpful critiques with a sympathetic ear," said Johnson.
Finally, the WHS orchestra, under the direction of Melanie Loy, will present "Divertimento No. 3 in F Major, K. 138" by Mozart and "Perseus" by contemporary composer Soon Hee Newbold.
Dr. Mario Chiarello, director of orchestral activities at Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls, S.D., is the guest orchestral clinician.
"We're excited for the audience to see and hear the students at their absolute best," said Johnson of Tuesday's concert. "It's fun for the kids to have a chance to listen to each other perform, and our music kids, like all the WHS students, are so hard-working and dedicated to things they're passionate about."
Loy concurred.
"I like this concert because everyone is at their peak in terms of talent — the entire music department," he said. "Tuesday, we will all perform together and can appreciate each other's hard work."
The WMS fifth- through eighth-grade bands are in concert Monday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Auditorium, 714 13th St. The concert is open to the public; there is a fee, but District 518 activity passes will be honored. Tuesday at 7 p.m., the WHS band, choirs and orchestra are in concert in the WHS gymnasium, 1211 Clary St. The concert is free and open to the public.

Wayoon's comments:
on Renewable Rates
I love PGE. Last week I was wondering if I should create flyers and put them into all the paper boxes of my neighbors on the hill I live on, asking them to think about us getting together to put a wind generator at the top of the hill. Then I wrote to PGE and asked how do this. They were quick about calling back, very patient, informed and helpful. They gave me leads on how to continue with this project. They want to help. My only problem now is to work past my shyness to contact my neighbors.
If PGE need more money, I can't resent them for it. They're honestly trying to help us.

cuhlman1, thank you for pointing that out. I couldn't listen to the whole show. The schools are failing a lot of people because of old policies. If we had followed their recommendations, my son would have given up. We can't blame the teachers. They became teachers because the love teaching. It's all those hoops they have to jump through that go against common sense.
My son's high school teachers enjoyed teaching him because he loves learning on his own terms and they were free to follow their hearts and see what could work best with him.
One day he had a strong feeling of panic shoot through him in class. He abruptly got up and went to the door. The teacher, knowing his temperament, asked where he was going. He looked pale and just said "out." She said, "okay!" He ran on the track, called me on the phone, did whatever it took to calm down. Nobody made him feel awkward. They let him work on understanding what he needed to do.
If he had been forced to stay a prisoner in that class while those panic chemicals were demanding that his body should fight or flight, he would have developed a phobia for that class which would have blossomed to a phobia for school, in general.
Phobias ruin the enjoyment of learning. If the policies in school don't work we need to stop being so passive. A drug for every learning problem don't fix the bigger problem.

Somebody tell me why a modified diploma is worth anything. Isn't the only good it does is that the schools don't have to have another dropout in their records which looks bad for them?
We told my son's high school that we could teach him academically all he needs to know. What he needed was to learn how to successfully navigate through places like school to learn about common sense things. We didn't care about grades and weren't impressed with modified diplomas. So the teachers helped him succeed at what he needed. The teachers enjoyed him. He had almost all A's, but just not enough credits for a diploma. He didn't care. He was happy about the valuable life lessons the school gave him. The school held an "ungraduation party" for him where other special ed kids and teachers attended. They said my son's success gave them hope. Too bad we all had to break the conventional rules to give anyone hope.
He's in college still learning about himself. He's still getting A's and the teachers are comfortable letting him get his good grades as an aside to getting the degree he really needs, a degree about how to understand life.
He's still unable to do a lot of things because of his delicate temperament but he uses his meltdowns to step outside of himself and think about what triggered the meltdown and what steps will it take to move on. This is his hardest job but he's making baby steps toward success everyday.

Overall not a very productive week in Isla Mujeres due to weather, but we did hit a bait ball being torn up by some bottlenose dolphin. They sure tear things up more than the sailfish do. Not the best image, but the water was just a mess of scales and turbulence, so this pic tells the story.

Dancing with the Stars 4, May 1: Cheers!by Jill Jones -- 05/02/2007Before we begin, I want to thank Pikachu for pointing out an error I made. I stated that Laila and Maksim scored the first triple goober of the season, but I was wrong Julianne and Apolo did that back on April 16. I, of course, blame my mistake on the fact that April 16 is my birthday and I was, well, celebrating! Also, I missed several songs last night (due to Maksims chest and other distractions). Thanks to Margy, I can now fill you in on what those ditties were:
Tom and Samantha open the show with a recap of last evenings dancing. Tom says that tonights elimination might be the most shocking one yet. He and Samantha also review the current standings; Im throwing mine in again in case you were curious.
Len explains that he, Bruno, and Carrie Ann have selected Laila and Maksim to dance the encore performance. Apparently, they flipped a coin to decide. Thank you, whoever flipped the coin, for giving us another chance to see these two do their samba and shake it. Tom makes a vegan comment in reference to Heather and then introduces Meat Loaf, who sings Bat out of Hell. Some of the professional dancers perform as well. Included in the mix is MY Louis! The overall performance is a bit confusing and disturbing, but I like it. Samantha speaks with Ian and Joey backstage. OK, this is when you should get up and get a snack because Samantha certainly doesnt ask any hard-hitting questions. The only good thing that comes from the conversation is that Ian tells Joey that he was the driving force behind N Sync, not Justin Timberlake. Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice are back. They do a sports-like analysis of the dancers with Len. Its quite annoying, but great to see Jerry again. Some of the highlights include:
Tom and Samantha are ready to reveal the first couple that is safe. It is Laila and Maksim. Unfortunately, they also announce a couple that is in the bottom two. Its Edyta and John. People boo. Next, Tom and Samantha welcome a group of youngster who are ballroom dance champions. I am so impressed by the dancers moves and the way they carry themselves. They are so crisp and polished. Great job! Samantha now speaks with the stars who have not yet learned their fate. Of course, she cuts them off as theyre trying to answer her questions. I wish someone would cut her off. Yeah! Kenny, Jerry, and Len return with more commentary. Again, Ill give you the highlights. This should be quick.
Meat Loaf returns to sing Cry Over Me while Jonathan Wilkens and Katusha Demidova dance. The song is hauntingly beautiful and the dancing matches. I never knew that I could enjoy Meatloaf this much. Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo teach us the cha cha cha. They also talk about their sexy dreams, and reveal that they sleep in the same bed as Tom. Dont ask. Please, I beg of you. Lets just move on. Tom and Samantha reveal that Julianne and Apolo are moving on in the competition. A lot of people are breathing easier now. The audience now tells us who should move on. Of course, everyone gets a vote of confidence. Tom and Samantha reveal another safe couple. Its Cheryl and Ian. Unfortunately for their fans, Karina and Billy Ray are in the bottom two. That means that Kym and Joey are returning next week. After a very tense break, Tom tells us that the next couple eliminated from the competition is Edyta and John. Awwwwww! They are so sweet together and will be missed. Samantha thanks Edyta for being on the show for four seasons, and putting so much time into it. John thanks Edyta for her help and friendship. The couple ends the show by leading everyone in the bunny hop. Fun. It took 3600 seconds, but Edyta and John have been eliminated. Are you surprised that Karina and Billy Ray survived another week? Drop me a line and let me know what you think. We have more than enough time to discuss it before next weeks show. Jill is an east coast mama who loves sharks, zombie movies, and reality television.

Pilot Grille Insert
The automotive after market is made up of hundreds of companies, each of which attempt to fill a particular niche. Many specialize in performance exhaust systems, others in brake system components, and so on. Cosmetic accessories are one of the more varied and interesting segments of this market. Some are all flash and no substance, breaking as soon as you install them. Others may be durable, but don't really add anything to your vehicle's appearance the way they should. Pilot Automotive strives to produce accessories that are durable and visually appealing as well as practical. One case in point is the Pilot Grille Insert. Like a person's smile, the grille is the first thing people notice about a vehicle. A Pilot Grille replaces the stock OEM grille to create a look that is uniquely your own. You can even eliminate the automaker's badge, if you like - after all, why should the car for which you paid $20K or more continue to be a rolling ad for them if they're not paying you for the service like they would for any other ad space? For Addams Family buffs, there's even a Pilot Grille decorated with a skull and spiderweb. Now, that's unique. Shoppers want high quality information and support while considering reliable parts for their car or truck. For our valued customers, we've established an always-open customer assistance bureau to assist you with your questions. Everybody hates to pay for shipping, that's why we offer completely free shipping for each order $50 and higher. If you spot a lower price elsewhere, let us know - we always beat any price advertised elsewhere.

I'm sure this may be a very basic question, but unfortunately, the application I'm working on behaves different from my simple test case. This is with regards to AOP Proxy and and Aspects.
Assume bean "test" is the target of an Aspect X.
I find that when i do a ApplicationContext.getBean("test") and run some method, the Aspect fires correctly. However, once inject "test" into another bean as a setter dependency, the aspect no longer fires.
I'm inserting <bean class="org.springframework.aop.aspectj.annotation. AnnotationAwareAspectJAutoProxyCreator" /> into my xml config.
So my questions are:
1) When using setter dependency injection, does it not create a Proxy - thus not allowing the Aspect to fire?
2) I assume ApplicationContext.getBean() makes use of Proxy?
3) Is there a scenarion where the above could potentially happen? Somehow where Applicationcontext.getBean() interferes with the dependency injection of a target bean of an aspect.
thanks in advance

The North American International Auto Show was opened in Detroit on January 9th, 2012. In comparison to earlier shows, Detroit revealed greater optimism in the automotive industry, following the crippling recession of 2008-2009. LMC Automotive (formerly JD Power Automotive Forecasting) released its Q4 2011 sales forecast, showing US light vehicle sales rebounding for 2010 and 2011. However, with the arrival of Volkswagen at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the growth of Hyundai in the US, such as the Elantra winning the 2012 North American Car of the Year Award, the Detroit-based auto makers face stiffer competition to regain their market shares in their home markets.
Compact Luxury – The New BattlegroundWhile light truck sales have recovered, the North American market is seeing a particularly faster growth in compact models. This will result in higher production volumes for them. According to LMC Automotive, the C-Segment will see the largest unit increase in production from 2011 to 2018, followed by the D-Segment, while the A- and B-Segments will see fastest percentage rise.
Not only do the above models come from the compact segments, two of them come from luxury brands. As many North American consumers downsize, in order to lower their fuel consumption, they still demand a high level of comfort and convenience in their future vehicle purchases – and with this, electronics demand in the North American market will continue to grow.
Fuel EconomyGrowing demand for fuel economy will also result in the adoption of direct injected gasoline engines across the industry, as on the Buick Encore and the Cadillac ATS. The Dodge Dart, however, will come equipped with the new Tigershark gasoline engine, developed with FIAT's MultiAir exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable valve timing (VVT) technology, although MultiAir is expected to be deployed on gasoline direct injected engines in the future.
Ford has made major strides in electrifying the powertrain with the announcement of its roll-out of stop-start systems, starting with the 2013 Ford Fusion. Ford's common platforms will also enable its customers to opt for electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of various models, such as the Ford Focus compact and C-MAX compact minivan. The GM eAssist mild hybrid system has already been offered on the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu, so perhaps the Buick Encore will follow suit?
And there may be the possibility that Honda and Toyota may assemble hybrid models in the US – following the unveiling of the Acura NSX sports car equipped with new all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain technology, the auto maker announced that development and future production will occur at its Marysville, Ohio, facility. The Acura ILX compact sedan also featured a hybrid concept.
Comfort and ConvenienceDespite their size, the new or recently-launched compact models have many features that would only be offered to larger segments. Examples of these luxury features include passive keyless entry and start systems (PKE), dual-zone automatic HVAC (heating-ventilation-air conditioning) systems as standard, electric parking brakes (EPB), RLT (rain-light-tunnel) sensing for automated lights and windshield wipers and electrically-adjustable, heated and ventilated seats.
InfotainmentConsumer demand for connectable systems for smartphones and the use of the Internet as a gateway to various features has led to the development of new all-encompassing, software-based infotainment systems. The launches at Detroit are no exception, which will further lead to growing electronics demand for Bluetooth, voice control systems and HMI systems controlled by color displays and touch screens.
SafetyAs side airbags become mandated in North America, the focus for safety applications in new models has been advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Blind spot detection (BSD) and rear cross traffic assist (RCTA) have been key additions in the North American market, as consumers there tend to drive into perpendicular parking spaces and need assistance when backing out of them – the new Cadillac ATS and Dodge Dart will offer radar-based systems.
Front windshield camera-based systems offer greater value-for-money, offering both distance warning and lane departure warning (LDWS) from the same module – the Cadillac ATS and the Buick Encore are likely to offer the same Magna-supplied system, as already being offered on some GM crossovers.
Other features making a greater appearance in North America will be adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) and high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, as well as head-up displays, as on the Cadillac ATS. In line with the Kids & Cars mandate, the HMI displays enable the Cadillac ATS and the Dodge Dart to play back park assist cameras.ImplicationsAccording to the latest (January 2012) edition of Strategy Analytics' Automotive Electronics System Demand Forecast (2009 to 2018), North American demand for the above applications will grow the fastest, mirroring the trends seen at the Detroit Show.
Despite vehicle downsizing, demand for automotive electronics in the North American industry remains strong.
The Automotive Electronics System Demand Forecast 2009 to 2018 – January 2012 Update, can be downloaded at: http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=reportabstractviewer&a0=6985.
Updates on the following databases will be published in February / March 2012:- ADAS Supply & Fitment - Advanced Entry and Start System Supply and Fitment - EV/HEV Technologies Supply & Fitment- Hybrid Technologies Legislation/Support
Strategy Analytics has recently updated its Advanced Entry and Start System Supply and Fitment Database. It revealed increased interest for Passive-Entry-Go (PEG) systems in the emerging markets, in particular from Chinese car makers following model launches at the 2010 Auto China (Beijing) show. The updated Advanced Entry and Start System Supply and Fitment Database is now available from the Strategy Analytics website. The new entrants in the Advanced Entry and Start System Supply and Fitment Database include various new models launched at the 2010 Auto China show.
Furthermore, joint venture car makers linked to global OEMs are also offering PEG systems, as well as other electronic systems.
This strategy is in contrast to previous models assembled and sold in emerging markets, namely to reduce specifications in order to be more affordable. The average Chinese consumer is not only more discerning than before, but has a higher disposable income and greater willingness to purchase vehicles with more features. Recent information on the Chinese automotive market is available from the following Strategy Analytics reports, Chinese OEMs: Rapid Advance In Quality Bodes Well For Automotive Electronics and Chinese OEMs Fast Catching Up On Powertrains. Further updates in the Database include more car models assembled in Korea with PEG systems fitted.
Penetration rates and demand levels of PEG systems by region, and other types of entry systems, is available from the Strategy Analytics Automotive Electronics System Demand Forecast 2008 to 2017: Main Data Tables. Finally, Delphi launched its new key fob in April 27, 2010 at the 2010 SAE World Congress. It boasts two-way communication to approximately 1 kilometer (3,333 feet). Using Bluetooth connectivity with the driver's mobile handset, much of the vehicle's systems can be controlled remotely through applications downloaded on to the mobile handset. Near Field Communication (NFC) enables similar functionality for the European market. Delphi's new two-way communication fob can enable the driver to:
Further information on PEG systems is available from the Strategy Analytics report, Vehicle Entry and Go: Passive Systems Set To Challenge RKE, while information on the Delphi fob is available from the Strategy Analytics Automotive Blog, Delphi Smart Key Fob Enables App Access Without Subscription. Model availability for PEG systems is beginning to expand beyond the mature markets and beyond the luxury segments. This could lead to greater volume demand and result in lower cost and widespread demand for Passive Entry systems.
As for two-way communication fobs, this is yet another functionality where the mobile handset has made in-roads into the automotive space. Development of these systems has only just started, but in the future such systems will surely make an impact on the automotive industry. Further information on mobile phones in the automotive space is available from the Strategy Analytics Automotive Blog, including articles such as InkaNet – Mobile-Based Infotainment Comes To Chinese Autos.

Bamboo Flooring
If bamboo is what you are looking for in a floorcovering, Interiors Only has a variety of bamboo flooring.
Bamboo flooring is natural, and renewable. It is not hardwood,it is technically a grass, which can be harvested after 4 to 6 years of growth and regenerates itself after harvest. It is definitely a wood flooring alternative.
Bamboo floors are known for hardness, superior strength, wear-resistance and dimensional stability. Bamboo is available in the traditional horizontal or vertical configuration. There is a large selection of colours to choose from.
Strand bamboo is available for those who prefer the look of a more conventional hardwood floor. It is manufactured by fusing stands of bamboo together under extreme pressure. The result is flooring which is approximately twice as hard as red oak.
Bamboo can be installed as traditional hardwood or as a floating floor on, above or below grade.
Some bamboo can be installed over floors with radiant heat.
Hardwood Flooring
If you are remodelling or renovating and thinking of new hardwood, consider the variety of species and the range of colours available. We have a complete range of factory prefinished hardwood floors which included traditional red oak, cherry, walnut and maple, as well as exotics like sapelle, jatoba, santos mahogany, tigerwood and many more. Hardwood is available in solid and engineered configurations as well as wide and narrow planks. Today's trend seems to be darker colours although natural colours will always be very popular. Options and choices can be overwhelming and Interiors Only can help simplify the decision.

Like many others, I caught the nasty bug.
I've tried to use malware removal -- but the system doesn't stay on long enough.
Reboots after a minute. I can get into safe with networking.
Tried some other sites and ideas, but to no avail. Regular antivirus didn't detect.
I've read other posts requesting frst and search files so those are attached.
Help!! It's my work computer that doesn't have a backup.
Thank you.
a) You have gone on your own and not followed instruction of what not to do. You know better
b) You do not have a Symantec product insrtalled, this is a Norton Forum
c) Yo have done other things to your system, so if you now have other problems from that then all I can see is that is why don't run tools on your own.
I am not doing this thread, Good luck.

The brightness and energy of x-ray beams are critical properties for research. Higher brightness means more x-rays can be focused onto a smaller, laser-like spot, allowing researchers to gather more data in greater detail in less time. Higher energies allow x-rays to penetrate deeper inside materials to reveal crucial information about a material's structure and function. The combination of high brightness and high energy allows the observation and imaging — in real time — of fast and ultrafast technologically important processes, including fuel sprays, magnetic switching, and biological processes in living organisms.
The APS Upgrade project will increase the brightness of the APS high-energy (hard) x-ray beams. This will equip researchers for the groundbreaking discoveries and transformational innovations that create new products and industries and generate jobs.
In April 2010, the DOE identified the national need for the APS Upgrade (APS-U) project by approving Critical Decision 0, authorizing development of a conceptual design. In September 2011, the Director of the DOE Office of Science gave his approval for Critical Decision 1, formally approving the alternative selection and cost range for the project, establishing the preliminary technical scope, and authorizing a detailed preliminary design and initial research and development. The completed project will increase the number of users and experiments that can be accommodated by the APS, and the brightness of the x-ray beams at the APS.
APS Upgrade News
First Light from the First High-Energy Superconducting Undulator
January 21, 2013
More than eight years of effort by Advanced Photon Source (APS) physicists, engineers, and technicians culminated on January 21, 2013, with the production of the first x-rays from the prototype of a novel superconducting undulator (SCU), which has been installed in the APS electron accelerator and storage ring at Argonne National Laboratory. It is the first such SCU operated at a third-generation synchrotron x-ray facility. MORE

When it's time for a new computer, whether it's your first or an upgrade, it can be difficult to choose today between a laptop and a desktop. There are so many more choices than ever before, and each comes with a variety of competitive features and price ranges.
In the past, the laptop was a downgrade from a desktop, unable to perform as well and as fast and missing many of the features that a desktop had but with the benefit of being mobile. Today, the two are nearly equals with the main difference being that on a laptop you are confined to your battery life. While batteries are improving and you can purchase a back-up battery, your "on-time" is still dependent on the battery life.
Of course, if you are using the laptop at home or at the office, you can also just plug it in to operate. You can also plug desktop accessories such as a mouse and keyboard into it. You can even hook your laptop computer up to a desktop monitor if you want a larger screen. With so many options, how do you choose which is best for you?
When deciding between a laptop and desktop, consider where you will be using the computer the most. Are you a student who will travel from classes to study sessions and back to your dorm room? If so, then the laptop is much more practical for you. It's possible to store everything you need for personal and educational use on the same computer and take it with you wherever you go. It takes up less space in a dorm room, and you can take it home with you for vacations and off-seasons.
If you work from a home office and will be accessing this computer primarily for work purposes and for long hours at a time during business days, then a desktop will probably suit you best. A desktop will have less risk of overheating from extended use, and you don't really need to take it with you.
When looking for any computer, features are going to be important. When comparing a laptop versus a desktop, consider the features that each one has and to what capacity it can perform. For example, many laptops have built-in webcams and media software preinstalled for ease of use. Some laptops are designed and marketed towards gamers and will allow you to play certain games with ease.
If you are a serious gamer, a designer, or some other type of computer user that requires the latest and greatest features, you might choose a desktop over a laptop because it's easier to upgrade your video card, sound card, memory, and other parts and pieces as the computer ages.
Performance is another deciding factor in choosing a laptop or a desktop. A desktop is better suited for long hours of performance and lots of multitasking. So consider what you will use the computer for to help decide between a desktop or laptop computer.

Slow-Roasted Salmon on Spinach Salad
Wild Salmon and spinach greens dressed in tangy raspberry vinaigrette the perfect, perfectly simple solution for a light, elegant, healthful, vibrantly colorful dinner!
Youll find this recipe in our upcoming Fall, 2012 Vital Choice catalog which follows in the footsteps of our
recent national award-winners
Well let you know when its available.
4 (6 oz each)
boneless wild salmon portions
2 tsp
organic extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp freshly ground pepper
½ pound of spinach leaves, washed, dried and cut into shreds
½ cup
whole organic hazelnuts
, chopped and toasted
½ cup
dried organic tart cherries
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 T seedless raspberry jam
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T honey
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan; set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven preheats to 250°F.
Meanwhile combine the spinach, hazelnuts, cherries and Gorgonzola in a wooden salad bowl and gently toss.
Put the salmon in the oven for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until creamy and emulsified. Drizzle the salad with half of the dressing and gently toss. Divide among four plates.
Check the salmon with an instant-read thermometer. Even though the fish may look underdone, it is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 125°-130°F.
Top each salad with a salmon fillet and drizzle with some of the dressing. (serves 4)
*About wild salmon
Each type has its own attractive features heres a capsule guide to the tastiest wild salmon species.
Cooking times are approximate, and depend on the temperature. Cook salmon just until opaque throughout, or remove from heat while still pink the very center and allow the fish to self-cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Introducing Asunción
021 / pop1.2 million
It's hard to get your head around Asunción. At heart she is beautiful, with a sprinkling of original colonial and beaux-arts buildings, international cuisine, shady plazas and friendly people. Her more-recent and modern demeanor boasts new, seemingly endless suburbs, ritzy shopping malls and smart nightclubs.
But her sophistication hides blemishes: the Río Paraguay backdrop and its shanty shacks, dengue fever–carrying mosquitoes, diesel-spewing buses, stark utilitarian architecture and oppressive heat and humidity.
Like a vain woman hiding her age but succumbing to middle-age spread, Asunción claims to have 1.2 million people, yet seems to hold many more – her sprawling suburbs have joined with neighboring towns. Despite her flaws, she's well worth getting to know.

More Than 15,000 Without Power As Storm Blows Through; 1,000 in Lacey
JCP&L Working to Restore Electricity; National Weather Service Had Issued Storm Alert
Tens of thousands are without power after a storm blew through Monmouth and Ocean counties Saturday.
A half-hour storm just blew threw Ocean County and parts of Monmouth, and Jersey Central Power and Light says it hopes to have power restored by 3 p.m.
The storm threat was issued for primarily northern Ocean and Monmouth counties.
"We have 27,000 people in Ocean County who have been affected by the outage," said Stan Prater, Area Manager for JCP&L.
Prater explained that the towns hardest hit by the storm were Lacey, with 1,000 customers experiencing a power loss, Brick, which had 5,000 customers without electricity, Lakewood, with a total of 5,400 without power, and most especially, Toms River, which saw 11,500 who lost electricity.
The outages affected traffic lights throughout the area, causing traffic backups on Route 70, residents reported.
"We are doing our assessments now, for the storm which just passed through," said Prater.
Prater could not give a timetable for when power would be restored to all residents in the region at this time, and commented that this storm differed from the one on Thursday evening, which affected more citizens throughout the state. The impact of this storm, Prater indicated, was more isolated to Ocean County.
For updates and a power outage map updated in real-time, please visit JCP&L's website for more information on your area.

No problem in the Cedarwood Park section yet. Bought a generator a year ago and haven't had to use it yet. So far this section has been very lucky with each storm.
1:47 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
hir here in whiting about 12:30 - 1:45. really scary, but now sunny. mother nature, go figure.
6:31 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
that lightning was really scary, especially those two that must have been right in my yard! i swore it hit my tree!

we did not lose power, got a generator after hurricane irene and have not used it yet
Tom Davis
2:12 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
yes, it looks like the story is done and JCP&L says it's doing a damage assessment
2:23 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
OK in East Dover ( By Yellowbank & Fisher ) so far, if lightning strikes in Newark we usually loose power ( underground wiring ) here ! The least flash and boom we loose , 16 hrs last storm and about 12 hrs the one before.....Hang in there capacitors and stay energized for once !!!! Look cross-eyed at these wireless poles and the power is out !
2:28 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
Here in Ortley Beach the storm was not very serious, but we lost power about 20 minutes prior the storms arrival. Seems like this happens on a regular basis, anyone no why this is happening?
12:28 am on Sunday, July 29, 2012
Isn't it ridiculous? I can remember years ago power going out whenever we had a storm and now years later with all this modern technology, we lose power more than ever...and if youl live in Toms River, you get those 1 minute outages for no reason, but just long enough that you have to reset every clock in the house!

The storms weren't bad here in the Herbertsville section of Brick. Some thunder and lightning but mostly torrrential downpours. We did lost power for about a half hour. I was surprised it came back on so quicly as I thought we were in for the long haul.
2:48 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
yea, mr. common sense, really scary. after having a neighbors old birch tree fall thru our house 2 years ago and seeing other neighbors old pine tree swinging back and forth, very scary. thankfully we were not home when the birch tree crashed thru our house, but am home alone today, yea SCARY!!!

Here in Silver Ridge Park, in the wrinkled villages, we had two periods of heavy rain. One about noon with thunder and later around 3:00 p.m. with no thunder but strong winds. The lights went out for a split second, enough to knock off my microwave and satellite dish but nothing else. At least my hanging basket ferns got watered but good! Waiting for the cool weather of October, hate hot and humid. Ugh
7:01 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
I haven't been to the community pool in a week. My tan is fading! ;-)
I'm so tired of cloudy, humid, 90 degree weather with the daily downpours. I feel like I'm living in the rainforests!
7:29 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
Climate change brings more extreme weather, not just warmer on average...
More violent storms, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards...
But some of you will vote for Romney because the Party of No opposes all that.
9:23 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
We're in Cranberry Hill area of Lacey. Our power was out from about 6:30 PM until 7:20.
9:54 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
Power still on in Silverton, looks like another round coming though.
9:56 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
Moisture from these recent thunderstorms do little for dry soil, just runs off into the bay as compared to a nice slow steady 24 hour rainfall. Great for a green crabgrass infested lawn though.. Other than that, work outside and your tan will be just fine and the snowblower I bought last year was never even fired up.
10:01 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
So I guess you better go cut your green crabgrass infested lawn tomorrow then.
11:50 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012
No power around Monmouth Medical Center here in Long Branch for last hour.
Dentss Dunnagun
5:06 am on Sunday, July 29, 2012
Lost power in Little silver ...OH wait ,no just a burnt out light bulb
12:57 pm on Sunday, July 29, 2012
Good luck to everyone! Hopefully we all keep our power on.
4:43 pm on Sunday, July 29, 2012
No, lawn grass and it's great. Those heavy drops are defiantly getting in the soil. I'm not having a burnt out lawn this year.
Use that sunblock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I too cannot wait for the fall, I hate to sweat. Ugh, hahaha
4:44 pm on Sunday, July 29, 2012
I heard freehold was extremely bad. I also heard that they are shopping free ice & water
Hope all is well now!
Keeping whats mine
7:32 am on Monday, July 30, 2012
At least in Bayville, JCP&L has third world equipment. Power goes out for no reason. Gotta have a generator, be self sufficient. You cannot depend on them
Michiel Van Kets

Sail-World.com : Team Australia on 'green' for Sydney-Hobart record run
Team Australia on 'green' for Sydney-Hobart record run
'Team Australia prepares for record-breaking journey from Sydney to Hobart' Saltwater Images ©
Click Here to view large photo
A trough line moving down the NSW coast from Queensland looks set to bring conditions at the 'upper end of ideal' says Sean Langman, skipper of the 60-foot trimaran Team Australia. Team Australia is making an attempt on the superyacht Mari Cha III's 1999 World Speed Sailing Record Council sanctioned time for the distance of 630 nautical miles between Sydney and Hobart, Tasmania.
Langman will head up a crew of seven including a late addition, his 19 year-old son Peter Langman who has already completed two Rolex Sydney Hobarts and four Bass Strait Crossings.Team Australia need to average more than 14.83 knots to break the existing course record. They are hoping to complete the passage in just outside 24 hours – potentially slicing half a day or more off the official fastest time. The multihull is capable of a top speed of 42 knots (77.7kph).
Forecaster Roger Badham is predicting maximum breeze at the start, ESE winds at 23-27 knots and off the far south coast of NSW, E-ENE at 18-23 knots. For the run across the Strait ENE winds 24-28 knots (maybe 25-30) are expected and NE 22-27 knots off the Tassie coast tending NNE-N/22-28 on the lower east coast.
Crewmember Larry Jamieson, embarking on his 30th crossing of the Bass Strait, said, 'By Saturday night we'll either be propping up the bar and celebrating in Customs House - again - or hanging off an upturned boat waiting for a tow!'
WHEN: Departing approximately 10.30am Friday 22 February, 2013
WHERE: The 60-foot trimaran will begin its record attempt from between North & South Head, Sydney Harbour
WHO: Giant trimaran plus crew of Sean Langman (owner/skipper), Josh Alexander (sailing master), Larry Jamieson (sail trimmer), Aaron Hampo (cook, comic relief), James Ogilvie (mainsail trimmer/rigger), Shaun 'Kiwi' McKnight (navigator), Peter Langman (seventh man, trimmer & floater)

SEATTLE — Every time it rains, pollutants like pesticides, gasoline, heavy metals – all the remnants from our daily activities – are rinsed off the landscape.
Paved surfaces provide the perfect conveyor belts to funnel those pollutants into nearby waterways.
Local municipalities are charged with figuring out how to limit or prevent that from happening.
Ted Sturdevant, head of the Washington State Department of Ecology, says dealing with stormwater runoff comes down to a simple question:
"Can millions of people live in a rainy climate on rivers, bays and Puget Sound without killing them? I think the answer has to be yes. These stormwater permits aren't the entire answer but these take a big step forward down that path."
Washington state's new permits promote low-impact development and installing things like rain gardens to absorb runoff.
Here are some other things they do:
The state Department of Ecology has set aside $5 million to train local governments and contractors on how to implement the new requirements over the next five years.
The requirements will be in use by June 2015 in Seattle, Tacoma as well as King, Snohomish, Pierce and Clark counties. Other communities will see the requirements kick in a few years after that.
You can find the full regs here.

Recipe by Peggy Dugas
Makes 8 servings
Season chunks of fish well with salt, pepper and cayenne. Use some of the oil to grease the inside of a large Dutch oven, and then add remaining oil. Put a layer of fish chunks on the bottom (about 1/3 of the fish). Spread with 1/3 of the vegetable mixture, then continue layering fish and vegetables, finishing with a generous amount of seasonings atop fish. Cover and cook over low heat, shaking the pot regularly to loosen sticking. DO NOT STIR! Cook until the liquid given off by fish and vegetables is reduced to around 2 inches deep, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Serve over cooked rice.

It may be time to say farewell to affirmative action in higher education admissions and to the aspirations that went with it.
Ending race-based slots would not serve justice
October 1
By MARY SANCHEZ
The Kansas City Star
In October, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, a case challenging the sliver of consideration the university gives to race and ethnicity when deciding whom to admit. It is already being billed as the case that killed affirmative action.
That may prove true, as the make-up of the Supreme Court has changed considerably since the last time it looked at this heated issue in 2003. Justice Sandra Day OConnor, now retired, wrote the majority 5-4 ruling in Grutter v. Bollinger, upholding the University of Michigan Law Schools policy of considering race in conjunction with other factors for admissions.
OConnor famously opined that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.
She was 16 years off in making that prediction. The court may simply forbid race as a consideration of admissions for both state universities and private ones that accept federal funds.
Texas automatically accepts the top 10 percent of each of its high schools graduating classes. Given the states many high schools that are de facto segregated by race, this guarantees a certain measure of diversity. Applicants not in the top 10 percent are selected based on other factors, one of which is race.
Abigail Fisher didnt make the 10 percent cut. Nor was she admitted based on a variety of other criteria considered. She sued, arguing she was denied admission because of her race.
By pursuing her case, Fisher and her lawyers are in effect alleging that she was more deserving than at least one nonwhite student admitted to the university. Indeed, the subtext of the backlash against affirmative action and diversity is that the white student is always more deserving.
But what do we mean by deserving?
Colleges often weigh race-neutral factors such as socio-economic status, or whether students are the first in their family to attend college, or whether the family moved often during a students formative years.
Low-income, white students, including children from rural areas, often benefit equally from such considerations.
How should an admissions committee weigh the academic potential of a child who took tough college-prep coursework and earned a 3.5 GPA against the student who worked a part-time job throughout high school, managed a 3.0 GPA in semi-rigorous school work, did community service and also lettered in one sport?
Americas public colleges and universities, after all, are simply reflections of the quality of the nations school districts. Hispanic, black and Native American students statistically fare worse in elementary and secondary schools, and are often racially isolated in low-income areas. Those same minority students also make up 39 percent of the current K-12 population. They are a large proportion of the future workforce.
Affirmative action was meant to be a way to right old wrongs. Diversity is a more recent rationale.
An interesting footnote is that the man credited with coining the slogan A mind is a terrible thing to waste is also known as the father of affirmative action. Arthur Fletcher was a Republican who served under Nixon, Ford, Reagan and George H.W. Bush. He decried the divisive attitudes that came to surround affirmative action.
Fletcher simply wanted to address the inequities that resulted from generations of legalized segregation and accepted discrimination. He helped fund the famous Brown v. Board of Education desegregation case. Fletcher died in 2005, distressed that what he considered his legacy educational opportunity for all was in deep disarray.
In 2003, he told me, If they can keep us out of undergraduate and graduate schools, then they have robbed us of the one thing we need to make the system work for us, the opportunity to get an equal and advanced education.
As the court takes up the Texas case, those concerns are as alive as ever.

NORFOLK, Va. – The Old Dominion University lacrosse team teamed up with a local church to provide help with the Norfolk Emergency Shelter Team (NEST) this week.The Lady Monarchs had each player on the team sign up for a morning session throughout the week, Jan. 31- Feb. 6th, to help with various activities. The team helped clean up bedding, mats and blankets, cleaned the floors, served breakfast, and handed out lunches to each individual on their way out the door. The shifts covered were from 5:30-6:45 each morning. "This is the third year of our team volunteering with the NEST program," said head coach Heather Holt. "I think the girls learn valuable life lessons interacting with the individuals that take part in NEST. They find a new appreciation for their own lives and also feel pride in giving back to the community. Many of the people that we interacted with are young people trying to get back on their feet. This experience teaches our players how to be better citizens and to be thankful for all of the opportunities in their own personal lives."More information on NEST can be found at: www.norfolk.gov/humanservicesHART partners with the Norfolk Emergency Shelter Team (NEST) to provide meals and shelter to homeless adults during the winter months. NEST is a coalition of churches that provides overnight shelter on a rotating basis. Transportation to the shelter is provided every evening during the winter months of November - April at 741 Monticello Avenue in Norfolk.NEST operates during the winter months of November – April. For more information on church locations and operations call: (757) 622-2549NEST does not provide services to Norfolk's homeless families. Norfolk's homeless families should contact HART for help, not NEST.

Question? Free range Eland hunts in South Africa
I've been doing a lot of research for my next Safari to RSA. I've talked to and emailed a lot of PH's and Outfitters some with strong feelings towards canned hunts and that means anything behind a fence but what I can't seem to get is a straight answer to is free range Eland. Does anyone have any ideas if there is any outfits that still do free range Eland hunts in South Africa if they still do exist.
Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.
There's a world of difference between a canned hunt and a plains game hunt on a fenced South african game farm.
The former is where an animal such as a lion is captive bred, spends it's life in a pen and is then (usually) transported to a different area that he (or she) doesn't know at all, has no idea of escape routes and terrain etc and is then executed (it's not hunting) a few hours or days later..... often whilst still under the influence of sedating drugs.
The latter is where plains game animals spend their life on what is usually a big to huge area with a fence around the outside. They pretty much always know the terrain, the escape routes and predator dangers etc.
As to are there any properly free range areas in RSA where eland can be hunted?........ very few is probably the best answer you could get but one of the guys that could probably find such an area for you is Jaco Human at Index.
Your other option is to look outside SA and find a true wilderness area but that of course is going to put your prices up dramatically.
If you want to go halfway between the two, you could opt for somewhere like Tuli Block Botswana where there are game fences but are usually what might be termed porous and is usually a wilder option than that of RSA but not as wild as a true wilderness area.
You also have to bear in mind that despite it's size, an eland can jump like you wouldn't believe and can clear most game fences without any problems at all. - I've often seen them walk up to a 2 metre high fence, settle back on their haunches like a dog and then just sail over without any hassle.
In other words, even in a fenced game farm, an eland can easily be a free range eland if it wants to be.

With the game owned by the land owner in SA it does not do them any good to allow it to wander onto other peoples property- ergo the high fence. That being said I have hunted on one place 7 miles by 15 miles fenced perimeter that hunted as if it was open range. I have also hunted eland this year in the Kalihari of southern Namibia that is wide open range for 30 miles in any direction. That's as far as we went, could have been 100 miles for all I know.

Another option is just over the Limpopo river on the Zim side directly west from bietbridge. I hunted two properties that had no fences at all. We saw lots of Eland. One I remember was name Notting Hill and the other River Ranch. Not SA but close.

I spent 10 days on 25000 acres in 2011 hunting eland and never got a chance at one. I dont believe there were very many there in fact but we did see a herd of cows once and one or two bulls in high gear, gone. As stated above, canned and fenced are not the same at all, unless the area is very small.

Hunting eland on foot, has to be one of the harder hunts in Southern Africa. Great value for the dollar.

Sounds like you have the right attitude. I chased Eland in RSA for several days on a property that was close to 30 square miles enclosed by a game fence that was close to nine feet tall. Fence did not play one bit of a role in the hunt. Could have been free range for that matter, as the Eland were incredibly smart and all too elusive for my shooting skills.
Saw a nice Kudu bull jump over a game fence along the edge of the highway on our way to Limpopo. I would guess the fence was close to eight feet tall. The Kudu cleared it with ease and my jaw about hit the dash of the Rover. PH made the same comment about Eland being almost twice as big and able to jump significantly better than a Kudu.
