Westerly, Rhode Island... Washington Trust and Rhode Island Monthly announced today that "Winter State House," a photograph of the Rhode Island State House, taken by Derrick Robinson of Providence R.I., is the December winner of the I Luv RI 2012 photo contest. The photo will appear in the December 2012 issue of Rhode Island Monthly Magazine. "Snowfall instills in me a sense of peace and tranquility, because it forces our fast-paced world to slow down just a bit," said Robinson. Adding, "Snow also has a way of highlighting the natural beauty of our surroundings. Who hasn't looked out there window just after a snowstorm and just been awed by the delightful scenery? Rhode Island's State House is a magnificent sight anytime of the year, but the beauty of this building is intensified even more when covered with snow."
"We had more than one thousand photographs entered into the 2012 I Luv RI photo contest — each one illustrating something special about Rhode Island," stated Joseph J. MarcAurele, Washington Trust Chairman, President and CEO. "It's fitting that the final selection of our I Luv RI photo contest is a photo of Rhode Island's State House, a majestic symbol of our State's history poised in nature's elements."
Washington Trust will hold a special event, tomorrow evening, Wednesday, November 7th, at the Warwick Mall Center Court, 400 Bald Hill Road, Warwick, RI, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm to award the "Rhode Island Experiences" to the 12 monthly photo contest winners. The event is free and open to the public.
Each monthly photo winner will randomly select one of twelve special Rhode Island experiences, including stays at Rhode Island's best resorts, such as Watch Hill's Ocean House; The Chanler at Cliffwalk in Newport; the Harborside Inn or RI Hotel Manisses, on Block Island; or receive special VIP experiences at the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Providence Bruins, Trinity Repertory Company, Rhode Island Philharmonic, Roger Williams Park Zoo, Warwick Mall and Yawgoo Valley Ski Resort; or a 'Cake A Month' from Rhode Island's own Gregg's Restaurants.
The twelve monthly 2012 I Luv RI photo contest winners are as follows:
Beginning in March of 2013, Washington Trust and Rhode Island Monthly will once again sponsor the I Luv RI Photo Contest. More details and information will be provided at tomorrow evening's event and will be available soon on www.rimonthly.com/ILUVRI or www.iluvri.com.

Not strictly speaking a C&V topic, but many members seem to be familiar with and interested in more than just basic mainstream bikes, so thought this would be welcome here. This may have been an actual German Postal Service delivery bike. These photos and others were published on several international news websites and this rider and bike were seen in rural areas of the Brandenburg state during the week prior to Christmas, 2007.
Notice the drop-down front stand - with wheels mounted on the ends! I think this is a brilliant idea for a heavy (and heavily loaded) bike, great when one might want to move it around slightly while parking and very effective for holding it upright even with a large load. When not extended, the wheels are held in the upward position by a strong coiled spring attached to the right leg of the front rack.
Like Porteur or British delivery bikes from many decades ago, the front wheel is smaller than the rear to allow larger loads to be hauled up front and to lower the center of gravity of the front wheel.
Low step-through frame design... dynamo lighting... full mudguards... chainguard... and of course even a rear rack which is well integrated into the frame geometry.
If anyone is familiar with these bikes, I would Love to know if they are commercially available, and who manufactures them.

Suppose the following object structure:
class Super {}
class SubA extends Super {}
class SubB extends Super {}
I want to be able to have a variable that will hold the class object for either of my subclasses. I feel like this should do it:
Class<Super> classObj;
Then, I want to be able to something like this:
classObj = SubA.class;
classObj = SubB.class;
This doesn't work though. I get the following error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class<SubA> to Class<Super>
Any ideas why? What do I need to fix?

text: Belfast invite proposal for Pope Francis 26 Mar 2014 Pope Francis is set to be invited to Belfast, it has been revealed. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Councillors are expected to debate a motion asking the pontiff to come to the city if he ever visits the Republic of Ireland.SDLP councillor Pat McCarthy, who tabled the proposal ahead of next week's meeting at Belfast City Hall, said it could help send out a positive message.He said: "A papal visit to Belfast, endorsed by everyone, would send out a strong message to the rest of the world about how we are progressing, especially after the failure of the Haass talks."Mr McCarthy wants the Stormont Assembly to extend a similar invitation.The only papal visit to Ireland was in September 1979 when more than a million people turned out to see Pope John Paul II in Dublin's Phoenix Park.A planned visit to Armagh was cancelled by the Vatican after the IRA murdered the Queen's cousin, Lord Mountbatten, and ambushed 18 soldiers a month earlier."Times have changed," added Mr McCarthy. "I would love to see the pope in Belfast if he comes to Ireland."Last month, the Irish senate unanimously agreed to formally invite Pope Francis to Ireland.Independent senator David Norris said an official state visit by the head of the Holy See would "lift the spirits" of the country.Mr McCarthy said: "This could be the last chance for many people, myself included, to see a pope in Ireland."The motion is to be debated at the monthly meeting of Belfast City Council on Tuesday.It reads: "This council notes that the Irish Seanad, on February 19, unanimously passed a motion by senator David Norris, inviting Pope Francis to visit Ireland."Should the Holy Father accept that invitation, this council invites him, as a man of faith, peace and reconciliation, to visit the city of Belfast and calls upon the Northern Ireland Assembly to extend a similar invitation."Pope Francis, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, became the first Latin American pope when he was elected in March 2013 to represent the world's 1.2bn-strong Catholic Church.During his inaugural sermon, the Argentinian called on world leaders to respect the "beauty of the created world" and protect the weakest in society.He said: "Please, I would like to ask all those who have positions of responsibility in economic, political and social life, and all men and women of goodwill - let us be 'protectors' of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."The 266th pope also paid tribute to his "venerable predecessor", Benedict XVI, and he also quoted from Pope John Paul II.On the first morning of his ministry, Pope Francis sent a personal message to the people of Ireland.We cannot be tepid disciples. The Church needs our courage in order to give witness to truth.— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) March 25, 2014 © UTV Share Share Share

Indianapolis (July 17, 2009) – Indiana 's Auditor Tim Berry today announced that through strong fiscal management the state of Indiana has maintained its' financial reserve balance. Budgetary expenses were expected to increase by 3.9% during 2009, but were held to just one half of one percent (.5%). Since 2005 spending growth has been held to just 2.37%, well under the 5.88% annual growth that Indiana experienced in the eight preceding years.
"Measures taken early by Governor Daniels to restrain spending are paying off in helping to provide Indiana with prudent fiscal reserves," said Auditor Berry. "The Governor's spending controls accounted for savings of a half billion dollars this year alone."
State reserves inched up $26 million at fiscal year end to $1.329 billion, and are expected to drop to $1 billion by June 2011 under the budget recently passed by the General Assembly. Maintaining responsible reserves is important to guard against disaster during economic downturns. This year alone Indiana 's revenues fell $963 million from 2008 levels, and were $1.2 billion less than originally expected at the beginning of the year. The 2010 budget is calling for a 1.6% increase in revenue during the coming year.
" Indiana is in an enviable position, one of just a few states maintaining reserves, while not raising taxes or cutting education and public health programs," Berry commented. "If Indiana were a stock, investors would be buying strong. While not out of the woods yet, Indiana is positioned to withstand the continued economic downturn."
Utilization of federal stimulus dollars prevented Governor Daniels from taking more drastic steps to reduce spending in order to balance the budget. The reversions of $1.4 billion during the year were attributable to $530 million in spending constraints, $536 million in education stimulus dollars, and $348 million Medicaid stimulus expenditures.

It seems like one of the requirements to be a celebrity today is having a signature fragrance – everyone from Fergie to Keith Urban to a bunch of other people I wouldn't want to smell like has one.

It has all the hallmarks of a pretentious commercial: black and white, bottle closeups, crying, and random French.

No. 20 Iowa State Set to Host Northern Iowa
AMES, Iowa - The No. 20 Iowa State women's basketball team (6-0, 0-0 Big 12) takes on Northern Iowa on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones return to Hilton after a four-game road swing, where Iowa State improved to 6-0 for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
Webcast: Cyclones.tv
Cyclone Headlines
- Already off to its best start in 11 seasons, Iowa State looks to improve to 7-0 with a win over in-state foe the UNI Panthers. The last time the Cyclones were 6-0 was the 2001-02 season when they went undefeated in nonconference play and finished with a 24-9 record.
- The Iowa State women's basketball team is listed as 13th in the nation in the Jeff Sagarin RPI indicator. Iowa State is third in the Big 12 on the model behind Baylor and Oklahoma State. However, ISU has a schedule rank of 174, compared to Baylor's 336 and OSU's 326.
- After winning two neutral site games in two days over the Thanksgiving holiday, Iowa State improved three spots in the Associated Press poll to No. 20. The ranking of 20th in the nation is a season-high for the Cyclones. The Cyclones came in at No.12 in the USA Today Coaches poll, which is the highest since the 2010 season. This is the 14th-straight time Iowa State has been ranked in the AP or USA Today polls.
- Iowa State is one of just 23 teams in the country with an undefeated record and one of just three teams in the Big 12 without a loss. The Big 12 is also one of two conferences in which every team is .500 or better and no team has more than three losses.
- Senior forward Hallie Christofferson is averaging 24.2 points and 8.0 rebounds through six games this season. Her 24.2 points per game ranks 11th nationally and second in the Big 12.
- The Iowa State starting lineup consists of a senior, two juniors and two freshmen, with Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson joining last year's returners in Nikki Moody, Christofferson and Brynn Williamson. Iowa State is one of just four Big 12 schools this season that have started at least one freshman and one of three schools to have multiple freshman in the starting lineup. Iowa State is the only team in the top-25 to have started two freshmen in every game this season.
- This will be the 42nd meeting between the Cyclones and Panthers. Iowa State owns the all-time series 33-8 and also boasts a perfect 16-0 record at home.
- The Cyclones are averaging 82.5 points per game, which ranks 23rd nationally, and holding opponents to just 55.5 points, which ranks 20th nationally. Iowa State is shooting 45.7 percent from the field and also holding opponents to 35.5 percent. The Cyclone defense is also forcing an average of 14.8 turnovers per game.
- Iowa State continues its impressive showing at the free-throw line, ranking second nationally shooting 82.6 percent at the line. ISU led the nation last year in free-throw shooting making 86.3 percent.
Last Time Out
- Iowa State continued its winning ways an 11-point victory over the Auburn Tigers. The Cyclones had three players score in double-digits with Hallie Christofferson tallying a game-high 18 points, while Seanna Johnson tallied 17 points and Kidd Blaskowsky went 4-of-7 from long for 12 points.
- Auburn entered Saturday's contest ranked 15th nationally in rebounding, but Iowa State outrebounded the Tigers 41-39.
Scouting Northern Iowa
- The Panthers hold a 2-5 record with wins over North Dakota and North Dakota State. UNI put up a tough battle against the Iowa Hawkeyes, falling by just seven points, 60-67.
- The Panthers' top shooter this season is Jen Keitel, who is knocking down 46.4 percent from the field. Hannah Schonhardt is their top shooter from long, going 5-of-11 for 45.5 percent.
- The Panthers rank 42nd in the nation in turnovers per game, averaging 14.1. UNI also sits in the top-100 for blocks per game, with 4.1.

1. How do you disassemble these things? I can't seem to find set screws or obvious places where they lenses are put together?
2. Since they contain a focusing mechanism should I just figure out a way to mount an eyepiece?
3. In these old 35mm lenses is the image correct? the view was through the lens "TTL" right?
4. If anyone out there has tinkered with this idea can you please post some pics, and tell about your experiences/ results..
Thank you in advance!

New Delhi is all set to open its doors to F1 in 2011. Funded by public-private partnership JPSK Sports, a subsidiary of Jaiprakash Associates, will stage the first ever Formula One India Grand Prix.
Says Samir Gaur, MD and CEO of JPSK Sports, Land acquisition for the 5.5 km track is on and we are hopeful of completing the exercise by February. The designer and contractor for the job too, have been finalised and we are sure of getting the track ready by February 2011, in time for the championship. The launch of Force India as one of only 10 teams on the Formula One grid, has stimulated the interest in Formula One in India dramatically and the possibility of Narayan Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok driving in F1, will further spark an explosion of interest that would soon rival that of traditional sports.
According to experts, the benefits of a booming economy like India joining the F1 calendar are clear. Not only would the hotel and tourism industry get an immediate boost, the countrys profile, too, would get a lift.
Experts are also of the view that once the Indian Grand Prix kicks off, it has the potential to generate around $170 million in revenue and employ as many as 10,000 people. The opportunity in advertising tie-ups between manufacturers and F1 cannot be overlooked either.
According to Ashok Khurana, executive vice-chairman of JPSK, the core area of the circuit would be spread over 4,000 hectares and building the infrastructure of the circuit would cost between Rs 1,200 and Rs 1,500 crore.
Once the process of acquiring land is completed, we will go into top gear to have the construction done. We will get the track ready for inspection by the FIA (Federation Internationale de LAutomobile), the governing body for world motor sport, by February 2011, he states.

This may have been Rovers' third game without a goal but a draw was a remarkable result given their opponents' home record and run away lead at the top of the table. Whilst the point was earned by a resolute back five, the visitors, with a little more luck, could easily have made the long journey home with all three points.
For the second successive game full back, Stuart Tovey, was forced to leave the field after just 3 minutes with a head injury, only this time he was joined by Bideford's Kevin Squire after an accidental clash, which held up the game for several minutes and eventually both players returned suitably bandaged. The game's first real action came on 14 minutes as the hosts broke down the right and the cross saw, Scott Brice deflect it away from goal, but James Richard sent in a 20 yard shot that Rovers' keeper, Kyle Phillips, did well to get down to and save. Phillips was in action again 4 minutes later as he stretched to tip away a Richard Groves' free kick and then he produced another fine save, this time from Squire after a good cross from Richard.
Bideford came close on 37 minutes as Rovers failed to clear a free kick and Richard's cross from the right went beyond the far post where Connor Clifford hit a tremendous left foot volley back across goal and just wide of the far post. Bideford had a free kick on the left hand corner of the box which Groves curled straight at Phillips while on 41 minutes it was Rovers who were awarded a free kick in an almost identical position but Ben Osman made a much better effort of it forcing a good save from Paul Hider, who stretched to tip over the bar. From the resultant corner Brice out jumped the defence but couldn't get his header on target. The closest either side came to breaking the deadlock came in the 3rd minute of injury time as a corner from the left was headed on at the near post and defender, Aaron Harper-Penman, looked to have headed home but Josh Jeffries, on the line, hacked the ball clear.
Rovers made a good start to the second period without really threatening their hosts goal and gradually Bideford began to look dangerous as Groves flashed a header across goal and just wide of the far post while only a great sliding tackle from Dan Cleverley prevented Sean Downing from probably scoring as he latched onto a great through pass. The visitors felt they should have had a penalty on 71 mins as James Billing went down in the box under the challenge of two defenders attempting to head Tovey's cross. Just a minute later and a Rovers free kick was cleared to Lee Bryant, 25 yards out and his left volley looked to be headed for the car park but dipped at the last minute to clip the top of the bar!
With 15 mins left Rovers were once again indebted to Phillips as he made another fine save, low to his right, from Jack Furzer. Marcus Mapstone then produced a great block from Squire as Bideford looked to up the pressure. However this enabled Rovers to counter on the break and after Bryant had sent a volley just wide, Jack Allward, had a great chance to earn his side all three points as, in the final minute, he raced clear but sent his left foot shot across Hider and wide of the far post. The hosts had the final word as skipper, Matt Hockley, sent in a shot from the edge of the box that again Phillips was equal to.
Rovers: Kyle Phillips, Stuart Tovey, Jack Allward, Josh Jeffries (Ryan Gay 81 mins), Marcus Mapstone, Scott Brice, Lee Bryant (Lee Davidson 85 mins), Craig Loxton, James Billing, Dan Cleverley (C), Osman.

Hot property: a spacious missile base as your new home
Hot property: a spacious missile base as your new homeSep 24 03:26 AM US/Eastern
View larger image
Looking for a new home with a bit more space as well as a 1950s Cold War ambiance?
A US intercontinental ballistic missile base, equipped with a vast underground network of tunnels and rooms but no atomic warheads, is for sale in a remote corner of the United States.
The warheads and missiles went when the US government abandoned the Titan bases in the 1970s.
Located near remote Moses Lake in the northwest state of Washington, the former Larsen military base includes 4,000 square meters (43,000 square feet) of "usable" space on 23 hectares (56 acres) of land, and the owner is only asking for 1.5 million dollars -- which might buy a small home in Hollywood.
The seller, Bari Hotchkiss, sees the base as a "gorgeous" property and potential resort. He has put it up for sale on the eBay auction site.
"We used to use it as a summer camp, for our kids and their friends," he told AFP.
"The only limit is imagination. We've always wanted to see it turn into summer camp or resort camp," he said.
The Los Angeles investor bought the former base 10 years ago from owners who had purchased the property in the 1970s, when the US government concluded the Titan missiles had become obsolete.
Hotchkiss said there are 18 former Titan bases and nearly all of them were sold off, but -- sounding like most proud property owners -- he said his base is in excellent condition.
"Most of those former bases are much much smaller, and most all of them have water problems with water leaking in them. So they're filled with water or so wet there is terrible rust, and ours is dry, and portions of our missile base look like it's built last year," he said.
"It is kind of like a big shopping center underground that needs to be refurbished," he said.
To use the entire underground network, he said several million dollars worth of remodeling would be required. But a cheaper option was also possible.
"If you only need one or a couple of the buildings to begin with, several hundred thousand dollars might do it," he said.
The ailing housing market in the United States might slow down the sale, Hotchkiss admitted. But he said he's patient.
"There is plenty of time. No rush. And the base is really reasonable priced."
There is competition, however.
The website missilebases.com offers up a similar underground base for Titan missiles outside of Denver, Colorado, touted as a "very rare piece of history" with a mountain views and only 20 minutes from the local airport. All this for the asking price of 1.8 million dollars, in cash. According to the website, this base is "the ultimate home" offering "the utmost security," while providing a chance for the buyer to enjoy "your own underground city." The website offers other bases for sale, which it calls the "castles of the 20th century." Designed to withstand nuclear attack, these unique properties "bring new meaning to the word 'shelter.'"

Although a §1031 tax deferred exchange allows investors to defer 100% of their capital gain tax liability, some choose to only perform a partially deferred exchange.
In a partial exchange, the investor decides to defer some capital gain taxes and also pay taxes on either 1) cash proceeds received or 2) a reduction on their replacement property debt obligations - both of these events result in the receipt of boot which refers to any property received in an exchange that is not considered like-kind. [Cash boot refers to the receipt of cash. Mortgage boot is a term describing an Exchanger's reduction in mortgage liabilities on a replacement property. Any personal property received is also considered boot in a real property exchange transaction.]
Cash proceeds can be received as follows:
1) When the Exchanger instructs the closing officer to disburse a fixed dollar amount of proceeds to them directly from the relinquished property closing;
- or -
2) After all identified property has been purchased or after the end of the exchange period if there are properties which have been identified but not purchased.
If an Exchanger intends to perform an exchange that is fully tax deferred instead of partially deferred, they must meet two specific requirements:
1) Reinvest the entire net equity (net proceeds) in one or more replacement properties;
- and -
2) Acquire one or more replacement properties with the same or a greater amount of debt. [One exception to the second requirement is that an Exchanger can offset a reduction in debt by adding cash to the replacement property closing.]
If the boot is greater than the amount of the capital gain, then it's not recommended to do an exchange.

Gun Control Will Never Stop Barbarism
During the 48-hour period of May 30-June 1, there were 16 incidents of gunfire and 19 people hit by bullets. Only 2 suspected shooters were arrested. Overall, roughly 25% to 30% of nonfatal shootings result in an arrest, compared with arrests in about 80% of homicides, according to an NYPD spokesman.(HT: New York Daily News) "It's Groundhog Day here in Chicago" is how Police Superintendent | Read More »

How Much Can a Certified Phlebotomist Make?
The phlebotomist salary can be amongst the best in the country, averaging as high as $30,000 in some states. If you have a lot of bonuses and have taken extra studies, then you may even earn potentially as high as $36,000 in some states such as Maryland.. A phlebotomist is a medical professional who can take blood samples from patients and also perform the steps necessary to set up a blood transfusion. You generally complete a course in a recognized and accredited institution and then you gain your certification in phlebotomy to be able to practice.
The requirements to gain this certificate usually involve many hundreds of hours of classwork as well as laboratory work. You will also need to usually take an externship that requires you to practice venipuncture many times on patients to qualify.
The majority of people who become phlebotomists will receive a salary from the state where they trained in the public health system and the hospitals, or they will seek employment in a private institution or clinic.
Phlebotomist Average Salary
Requirements for a good salary
You will need to get as many of the following as possible to get a good phlebotomy technician salary. In most states, practicing requires a license. But even in the ones where this is not the case, having a license will increase your job prospects and your potential salary. In addition to this, those who complete university or college courses find that they generally make more than those who complete short training programs.
You will need to complete several hundred hours of training to qualify for the certification exam, but it's well worth it, even if you don't have a medical background, because you will be trained completely for your job and will be able to get a higher wage.
Skills Needed to Become a Certified Phlebotomist
Apart from the above academic and training requirements, you also need to have certain personal and interpersonal skills to secure a higher salary and in many cases to be accepted for a job in the first place.
You should have good rapport with patients and the skills to keep them calm if they are stressed out from the procedures they are going through. You will also need to have a very steady hand and the ability to focus and concentrate.
Classes You Need to Take
There are a number of classes that you will probably take when you study for phlebotomy. You will usually find that the more of these you take, the higher your potential earning can be:
– Patient Rights as well as Medical Ethics and Medical Professionalism
– Venipuncture (the actual method of drawing blood)
– Human Anatomy (especially studying the blood and the cardiovascular system)
– Lab Testing (especially how to correctly use all the equipment such as a centrifuge or test tubes, including additives)
Phlebotomy Certification Across the Country
You can get your phlebotomy certification in a number of places and these will also help to determine what your salary will be:
Phlebotomy training online. While you can do some or a part of your course on the web, this is usually an option for those in the medical field already. This is a way for them to get extra training and increase their wage.
Training at universities and colleges. If you are looking to obtain a degree from a university or a college, then you can get a higher salary in this case too as these types of degrees will qualify you for more senior positions.
Training at private institutions. If you train at a private institution you will generally end up with a lower salary as many of them only certify you to be a technician in a laboratory.

The reduction in the manufacture of estrogen through the action of Dianestrozole and its dual aromatase inhibition systems has a positive effect on the HPTA which means it will actually cause your body to create more testosterone on its own, the safest way to cause a natural anabolic effect in order to gain muscle mass, strength, and endurance while helping to lose fat.
Clinical trials of Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT show bio-available testosterone increased drastically higher (over 400%) and faster (within 2 weeks) than any other testosterone booster in the supplement industry – and with only a portion of the dose used by other leading brands.
Which means it really kicks major ass!
Gaspari Nutrition is so positive that Novedex XT is the most effective testosterone booster and anti-aromatase in the supplement industry – BAR NONE, that in the July 2005 issue of Muscle & Fitness they issued this unprecedented challenge: they called on any supplement company in the industry to show, through valid, impartial science, that there is another compound on the market today that works as well or better at increasing natural testosterone levels, let alone decreasing estrogen, than those contained in Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT.
We just used this in our last muscle bulk cycle and got tremendous gains from it.
CLICK HERE for more info on where to but it at a great discounted price!
We've tried this shit and it's actually a really great investment!
N.O.-XPLODE is BSN's #1 selling extreme pre-training energy and performance igniter… and for good reason!
From the very first serving you will experience elevated physical and mental energy, muscle-expanding pumps, unparalleled strength and stamina; not to mention tunnel-vision like mental focus, allowing you to zone in and have the best training session possible.
By combining all of these benefits in one knock-out formula, you will experience a level of training intensity that you never thought was imaginable, getting you physically and mentally dialed in for the training session that lies before you; leaving those days of lackluster workouts behind.
Once you start incorporating N.O.-XPLODE into your bodybuilding supplement regimen, you will never train without it.
Honestly, in our opinion it's really pretty great! (We just used it over this past winter and got some great power gains on the gym floor). All thanks to a little nitric oxide!

There are some very, very exciting new things in the pipeline which I'd like to share while they're fresh in my mind and analogous with that post from two and a half years back, I'd like to actually show you what's happening."

It covers slight changes in the Application object, Window object and Navigation system. It also covers more involved changes to the Resource model and to Touch. I'll talk briefly about touch at the end of this post and I'm dedicating an entire article to resources..."

"This article describes how to create a custom Settings Panel for a Windows 8 Metro app (Consumer Preview) using XAML and C#. It also describes a way to broadcast the new settings to the app's components. Apps written in JavaScript and HTML5 can make use of the SettingsFlyout control. There's a full sample demonstrating everything. XAML developers have no out-of-the-box settings control. They have to look very hard to find just a modest quickstart. This article is loosely based on that quickstart."

Caroline Jhingory, a 2005 graduate of the Tulane School of Social Work, says the inspiration for her new book, Half My Size: How I Ate to Lose 150 Pounds, came through her ability to lose weight and keep it off by adjusting to a healthier lifestyle. She also attributes the skills she's developed as a motivator to her training as a social worker.
It wasn't until age 22 when she learned she was pre-diabetic that things changed. Through healthy eating, consistent exercise and food addiction therapy, she soon gained control of her size.Jhingory says her experiences with therapy inspired her to attend the School of Social Work. Fast forward to age 32 and she's a full-time healthy-lifestyle coach, motivational speaker and workout fanatic.

Selling property online
Find out more about our low cost solution to sell your property>
Selling using the internet means that you are entering a competition , so its a great tip to act like a buyer and get a full understanding regarding what you are up against.
Pricing Property
Probably one of the most important aspects of selling a property online over pricing is the one thing that can kill your chances of a quick sale. Read The Worst Thing a Seller Can Do . Its clear that you need to price to sell and when selling direct without an estate agent you have room to reduce the price. Factoring in an estate agent fee into the asking price means your competition will not be so flexible on price.
Photos are your window
Great photos are crucial when selling a home online these act as your window and can serve to attract buyers. One of the biggest mistakes of vendors selling online is the use of bad photos. I mean the photo that did not come out right ,too dark, or made the room look very small etc .its better not to include as this could be the one thing that puts a buyer off.

Best Place To Sell The Property
"Great site to help you save some money. I used The Little House Company some years back to buy a property. When it came to selling my flat I wanted to miss out using the local estate agent. They quoted me £3200! To be honest I used them to help value my property then I advertised it for sale on the site. It was fairly easy to add the property advert and the photos looked great. It took quite long to sell but I think that's the market today. Eventually I sold the advert cost me less than £100! So so pleased ! Thanks

Alan K. Cline (computer sciences) filed with the Secretary of the Faculty Council the following report of the Committee of Counsel on Academic Freedom and Responsibility.
John R. Durbin, Secretary
The Faculty Council
Mid-Probationary Period Review of Assistant Professors
During the tenure track probationary period, assistant professors shall receive a formal review. The purpose shall be developmental and advisory and is to provide feedback to the faculty member and the department regarding the faculty member's progress toward meeting the standards for promotion with tenure. The review should begin no later than the beginning of the sixth semester of employment and should be concluded by the end of that semester. A favorable review should not be read by candidates as an implied assurance that tenure will be granted.
For the review, the faculty member's teaching, research, and service records will be evaluated. Evidence reviewed should parallel the categories and materials typically included in promotion and tenure files (see HOP 3.17).
The review shall be conducted by the department's Budget Council or an appropriate faculty committee which shall produce a written draft of its recommendations. The report should include appropriate recommendations to address problem areas.
The department chair will communicate the draft results of the Budget Council/committee's evaluations to the faculty member in a meeting with the faculty member and one other member of the Budget Council/committee chosen by the faculty member under review. The faculty member under review will have an opportunity to respond to the draft. After the meeting, the department chair and faculty member from the Budget Council/committee will inform the Budget Council/committee of the responses of the faculty member under review. The Budget Council/committee and the department chair will produce a final written version of their recommendations. The faculty member under review may provide a written response to the final written evaluation if he/she chooses. The department chair will communicate to the dean that the review has occurred.
The department must have a written document explaining the guidelines and procedures to be followed in the conduct of the review. The faculty member should be given this at the time of his/her initial appointment to a tenure-track position as well as updates as they occur.
Rationale for Mid-Probationary Review Proposal
Reasons for formal mid-probationary reviews generally stress providing clear, productive, and informative guidance to a candidate during the probationary period toward tenure and promotion. Annual reviews are not usually adequate for giving candidates an overall assessment of their progress toward tenure. Additionally, cursory or uncritical mid-probationary reviews may not give candidates signals they need in time to make
improvements. It was for these reasons that the primary recommendations of the UT System Committee on the Advancement of Women, fall 1996, included a recommendation that "each institution shall adopt a policy establishing a mandatory formal mid-probationary period review." Chancellor William H. Cunningham endorsed this recommendation in March 1997. Guidelines for such a policy were suggested, and this proposal from the ACCFR follows those guidelines.
This report was posted on the Faculty Council Web site (http://www.utexas.edu/faculty/council/) on March 8, 2000. Paper copies are available on request from the Office of the General Faculty, FAC 22, F9500.

Auburn pot collective's court wrangle with city delayed again
By: Journal Staff Report
Auburn pot collective's court wrangle with city delayed again A medical marijuana collective's day in court to argue against a city of Auburn attempt to permanently close its downtown dispensary has been put on hold for a second week. Judge Colleen Nichols was to have considered the city's request for a preliminary injunction against the Sierra Patient and Caregiver Exchange but pushed back a scheduled hearing Tuesday morning at Roseville's Bill Santucci Justice Center for another week. Nichols had already delayed the hearing from Aug. 9. The exchange, located at 750 Lincoln Way, opened in the spring and closed its doors last month after city attorneys were granted a temporary restraining order from Placer County Superior Court. The city has banned dispensaries anywhere in Auburn since 2006 – 10 years after California voters approved medicinal marijuana possession, growing and sales. While collectives have sprung up in the area, including one in Colfax and several in the Sacramento area, the Sierra Patient and Caregiver Exchange was the first for Auburn. The collective gained a business license using the name S&R Blooms and Blossoms and the city contends that owner Richard Miller indicated on his license application that the business was a "variety store; florist shop." Miller said there was no category on the license application that could be marked for marijuana dispensary and the area at the front of the Lincoln Way location does sell flowers and artwork.

XXL has created a list naming "The Women Of Tupac" in an article published today (June 16), Tupac's birthday.
"It's not secret that Tupac was a master when it came to the ladies," XXL says of its list. "Although only married one time, Tupac always seemed to have a flock of ladies in his corner whether it was a friend, rumored lover, fiancee or wife."
Rosie Perez is named in the list. Perez has denied romantic involvement with the emcee. Another Tupac friend who has denied any romantic link is Jada Pinkett-Smith, who is also on the list. The two were friends and schoolmates and they appear together in a rendition of Will Smith's "Parents Just Don't Understand" below.
Kidada Jones, Tupac's former fiancee, is also on the list, followed by Jasmine Guy, who was rumored to be his lover, according to XXL.
Tupac's former wife, Keisha Morris, also appears on the list. The couple married in 1994 and their marriage was annulled after 10 months, according the publication.
To view the full list, click here.
Recently, BET also made a list about Tupac, naming 10 trends he "sort of" started.

Should I throw my own baby shower?
My pregnancy has been great except for one silly little issue -- I have no one to throw a baby shower for me. My husband and I live far from our families, and I'm not that close to my female friends. My husband knows how sad I feel and has hinted at throwing the party himself. I have mostly male friends, so I wouldn't mind having a coed shower. But the thought of throwing my own shower makes me feel like a loser! What can I do?

Sure do it yourself and don't feel like a loser! All you need is your husband to help and it shouldnt cost too much. Take pride in what you and your husband can acomplish together. If you make shower games to where they are fun, but the prizes will benefit you and the baby, you can't lose. I started to do mine by myself b/c I didn't know how a baby shower was supposed to work (I had no shame), but luckily my cousin was there to take over b/c I got overwhelmed by myself after spending $120 on prizes which don't even benefit me, some decorations, and plates w/ utensils b/c the baby's father wasn't helping at all. I figured I would just have a large baby registry b/c I knew my family would buy stuff, especially online at Walmart.com the shipping is free to a store near you. I invited about 40 people knowing alot wouldnt really show up, but at least they knew I was trying and who knows if your family sees you trying you never know who might pitch in.posted 10/15/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
omg omg omg, yes throw your own shower!! ignore the first comments you got. every new mom IS ENTITLED TO A SHOWER!!! IT'S NOT A GIFT!! IT'S A CELEBRATION!!! there's nothing wrong in throwing your own baby shower. it's not begging for gifts or saying that you can't afford your baby. i cannot believe some of you women that wrote those rude comments!! that's so horrible!! the gifts are for the baby!! don't listen to those women who are saying it's rude and tacky. i see nothing wrong with it. i'm throwing my shower to celebrate my son's arrival, not to beg for presents. and NO ONE has the right to say that you're irresponsible and don't deserve to be a parent if you're throwing your own shower. they just need to remove the sticks from their butts and realize that most traditions have gone out the window with the type writers. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SHOWER AND DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!posted 10/01/2007 by MandaMe
i dont see how its greedy, just because your throwing a baby shower doesn't mean your asking for gifts. and maybe if someone is offended by it because they dont want to get a gift then their the ones thats greedy!posted 02/19/2011 by joes_crystal
I hosted my own baby shower but I did an Alice and Wonderland theme and called it my son's "unbirthday" party. It was co-ed, we had an open bar, a buffet meal, and cake and ice cream. My husband and I were married ten years before I became pregnant, and because the doctor had told me I was infertile we felt a real cause to celebrate together with our family and friends. I also hated the Idea of subjecting my friends to the usual annoying baby shower games. I didn't feel that it was right to put my friends through something like that when they had gone to great lengths to spend thier hard earned money on my baby.posted 03/07/2005 by becky_s
(Part II) The fuss merely lyes in keeping with tradition. Many of the 'etiquette' gurus find it tacky to throw your own shower. We find it tackier to be registered somewhere (with everyone knowing you have picked all of your baby's gifts), pretend you don't know about a shower (when you probably gave the person throwing it a guest list) and act surprised when it happens. THAT is shameful. However, there is no shame in a mom or couple wanting to be prepared and going ahead with planning their own baby shower. If you would like to throw your own baby shower, you should do so. You will get what you want, invite who you want, decorate as you please and do it without faking one emotion. Hop on the bandwagon of new baby shower times. Best of luck and congratulations for taking this in your own hands and ensuring your baby has all he/she needs... close friends and family celebrating her soon-to-be-birth at a great party!posted 02/25/2010 by NewBabyTrendz
My personal opinion is that every baby should have a shower. Not for the gifts, but to celebrate it's coming. But, I know that lots of people don't agree. However, most people do agree that if the baby is of a different sex from your other child/ren, or if the spacing between them is large, you should have another shower. Now, I do think that someone else should throw the shower for you. But, if that isn't likely or possible, then by all means, throw your own. Just call it a "I'm having a baby celebration" and don't mention gifts or where you're registered. I'm sure that most of your guests will ask you if there is something you need/want or if you're registered somewhere when they RSVP. If they don't, well, you still get to celebrate the coming of your new child. And that's really what the shower is all about anyway.posted 03/17/2005 by jajanko
For Nicole. You might want to consider registering at a few different places. When you register, they give you little announcement cards that simply say where you and baby are registered. You simply put one or two of them (one of each) into letters you send out announcing your pregnancy. Don't say anything about having a shower. You will get questions asking about one, and you simply tell them that you hadn't thought about it, or didn't know how to plan one since this is your first child. More than likely your friends and family will get together and have a shower for you, and if they don't, they know where you are registered, and what you need for baby. Even if you don't have a shower, people will want to buy you something, and this way, you are not asking for anything, simply making suggestions if questions should arise.posted 03/17/2005 by mossna
This is in reply to Melissa I totally agree with the throw the shower how you want it. Not to sound like a showerzilla but I have had 2 people offer to throw the shower for me but on condition I travel to where they live one is an hour away and the other is two hours away and this is my shower and they got upset when I declined they should come to me not me go to them plus everyone I know lives where I do so I wouldn't even know the other people who would be there. So I am having my sister-in-law throw the shower as my "hostess" but I'm actually planning the whole thing myself. I want a band (reggae for the babies heritage) and have a cashbar for the people who want to drink and people keep asking me why music and a bar and I ask them why not they said that I couldn't drink and my response has been so just because I can't drink it shouldn't be an option for everyone else and they really have no response for that. I say it's my shower I can do what I want have what I wantposted 02/19/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
This is my first baby and My hubby and I are throwing our own shower. Our parents are helping but we are throwing it. I really wasnt sad about that at all. In fact in my area mostly everyone throws their own shower. WHO CARES LOL!!!posted 07/09/2014 by lauravelis
I didn't read everyones replies but here is my (FTM) opinion.... I don't see what the big fuss is about throwing your own baby shower. I mean, I know it's not traditional, but YOU are carrying this child and if YOU want to throw a baby shower for him/her, go for it! Especially since a lot of FTM's receive things they normally wouldn't get as gifts at their baby showers (cribs, strollers, etc for baby #1) I think it's important that you DO throw yourself one if you don't have any friends to do so for you. I posted a thread similar to this in my own birth club and a lot of women said that it was tacky that I wanted to be involved. Well, I say do what makes you happy. This is my first child and I think I have a right to be included in everything going on :)posted 08/09/2011 by ahaley52

PARIS: Time is now for Turner to mold Chargers
SAN DIEGO ---- It's time for coach Norv Turner and staff to earn their dough, because there's a lot riding on it.
OK, Turner is always on the hot seat and under the microscope in these parts. He wasn't a popular pick when he replaced Marty Schottenheimer, and nothing has changed after two straight playoff-free seasons.
But while his detractors sharpen needles, Turner needs to be on point the next 11 days, a run that started Saturday at training camp.
The Chargers held their first of five straight two-a-day practices Saturday. Some of the morning practices are walk-throughs, but every opportunity for on-field coaching can't be minimized.
Those five days will be followed by an Aug. 18 preseason game against the visiting Cowboys, and the game will b e followed by two days of practices with Dallas.
"This is the week you improve the most. I'm sure Coach Turner said it,'' quarterback Philip Rivers said. "He's always said it to us, from week one to week two.''
It goes without saying that the Chargers have plenty to coach-up. Thursday's 21-13 exhibition win over the Packers was keen, but the real benefit from those four quarters is seeing what the Chargers must address.
That's true, really, after any game. But seldom does an NFL season offer an extended time frame for Turner and his coaches to identify specific shortcomings and emphasize their points.
"The fact that we have a little more extended period of time from Thursday to next Saturday, and then practice twice against the Cowboys, this is a big stretch coming up for us,'' Turner said.
No surprise, but Rivers and Turner are on the same page.
"This is a big stretch for us," Rivers said.
There was plenty of good that came from Thursday, and we're not just talking about the score.
Linebacker Melvin Ingram, the Chargers' first-round draft pick, was active and productive, introducing himself to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a way that forced an interception. A Chargers insider speculated earlier in camp that Ingram would be the team's best pass rusher at some point, and that point is coming fast.
Tight end Antonio Gates was sprinting again like he's running the court for Kent State rather than walking on glass. With his foot healed, Gates abused a safety in coverage for a touchdown and looked like he's primed for another stellar season.
Rookie defensive tackle Kendall Reyes was in on numerous plays, recording four tackles, half a sack and a quarterback hit.
"I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous, but after a couple of snaps I got comfortable,'' Reyes said. "There are definitely a lot of things I need to work on, but it felt good being out there on the field. That's why you watch film and get back to it.''
Left tackle Mike Harris held up in Jared Gaither's place, which is a huge plus. Harris figures to be the subject of intense coaching, with offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Hal Hunter tracking the undrafted rookie's every step.
Robert Meachem and Rivers, unlike Rivers and Turner, need to find that same page. Rivers tried to force a pass Meachem's way only to have it intercepted by Tramon Williams. Rivers said it was his fault; Turner said Meachem has to do a better job of separating himself from the defender.
But that circles back to coaching, even with veterans like Rivers and Meachem. And this is the portion of training camp where such instruction can be constantly distributed.
But Father Time can't be accelerated while a player is injured. That's the case with running back Ryan Mathews, who will miss up to six weeks with a broken clavicle.

Looking at a new bike to replace Wal-Mart bike that is two years old and I do ride. I ride three to four times a week around 15 miles trips. In my area there is a Pacific distributor that has return bikes and they go over them for problems then resale them. They now have a new/ reconditioned Schwinn Sierra GS 21" that is priced at $220.00 with a MSRP of $329.00. They do fully warranty the bike.
I'm 50yrs old ride mostly rails & trail or black top roads. Just looking for your thoughts and suggestions about the prospect of this bike?

The Pitt is the second new content package released by Bethesda for Fallout 3. Bethesda announced the content packages on Dec 10, 2008 and The Pitt was later released on March 24 of this year at the cost of 800 Microsoft points (roughly 10$) for Xbox 360 and PC. This is one of three announced downloadable game packages, the other two being "Operation: Anchorage" and "Broken Steel". Operation: Anchorage was released on January 27, 2009 and Broken Steel was just released May 7th. Here at Gamer Syndrome we are going to explore in detail each one of these content packages, this time with the adventure into the remains of post-war Pittsburgh in The Pitt.
The Pitt takes players into the city turned slave camp of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Not being hit directly by nuclear warheads in the war, Pennsylvania quickly became a center for raider and criminal activity in the chaos of post-war America. The most recent transformation of Pittsburgh is into a terrible slaver center that of course, must be liberated… or aided! Thats right, The Pitt moves away from combat oriented missions such as Operation: Anchorage and back into the moral dilemmas and deep storylines that made Fallout 3 such a memorable experience.
The expansion begins when your character picks up a distress signal from a slave named Wernher who managed to escape The Pitt. Being the slave that he is, he wants revenge and retribution for his long hours and and unfair wages, and there the enticing prospect of a cure for mutation that is being held by the slavers leader, Ashur. To infiltrate this terrible place, the player must temporarily lose all thier gear, this makes sense as a slave in power armor holding a Missle Launcher might be slightly out of place.
This content pack, as with Operation: Anchorage features several new weapons and armor pieces to bolster your lone wanderers arsenal of destruction. These include primarily melee centered weapons such as an Auto Axe, Steel Knuckles, and Steel Saw. One nice addition to the ranged arsenal is a silenced assault rifle, as well as the armor types, which include some interesting blends between raider and power armor. The enemies are pretty standard, with the notable addition of the "Trog" which bears a resemblance to a Left 4 Dead hunter in appearance and characteristics. Three new perks have also been added: Booster Shot, Pitt Fighter, and Auto Expert.
Unlike Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt stays more like the original Fallout 3, blending combat and adventure with a great storyline and a whole bunch of moral choices. The Pitt also features considerably more gameplay time than Operation: Anchorage for the same great price of 10 dollars. Given a choice between the first two content packages, The Pitt seems the better choice, albeit less combat oriented than Anchorage. So if you have 800 Microsoft Points lying idle, and dust collecting on your copy of Fallout 3…. what are you waiting for, those slaves are not going to liberate themselves!

DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines (PNA) — Twelve breastfeeding mothers from Negros Oriental on Friday joined the 1st Breastfeeding Competition held at the Main Atrium of the Robinsons Mall in Dumaguete City.
The candidates are lactating mothers who are strictly practicing breastfeeding for their babies.
The 12 candidates are from the municipalities of Manjuyod, Santa Catalina, Valencia, San Jose, Zamboanguita, Basay, Vallehermoso, Amlan, Siaton, Dauin and Mabinay.
According to Dr. Edgardo Barredo, head of the Provincial Nutrition Council (PNC), the candidates were all carefully screened and evaluated based on the proper nutrition and health care for lactating mothers and their babies.
The candidates must have complete postpartum examination, complete immunization and other vaccines, he said.
Dr. Barredo said the PNC decided to hold the breastfeeding contest in order to encourage mothers to practice breastfeeding rather than using formula milk. He admitted that it is still a challenge to convince working mothers to practice breastfeeding but they are constantly expanding their information and education campaign.
Barredo added he will suggest to the members to the Provincial Nutrition Council to make the Breast Feeding Competition a regular activity during nutrition month celebration every July. He said the winner for the first breastfeeding contest will become the model mother and child for the breastfeeding campaign of the province.
In his message, Provincial Administrator Arnel Francisco said the provincial government will continue to support the breastfeeding program campaign.
The competition was held as part of the culminating activities for the local celebration of Nutrition Month this July.

For The (Evil) Ladies: Disney Villain High Heels
This is a small series of handmade high-heelsby footwear designer/cobbler Kobi Levi. Each represents a different Disney lady-villain. This is the Evil Queen here, but there are Maleficent and Ursala models after the jump. Unfortunately, there aren't any Victoria's Secret models after the jump, so you're on your own ever getting a boner again after seeing Ursala as a shoe.
Hit the jump for the rest.
Thanks to PYY, who informed me the shoes make the woman which is weird because I always thought it was the boobs and hoo-ha.

Kings of Pastry, now out on DVD, follows sixteen of France's top pastry chefs through the most grueling cooking contest yet devised, the "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" competition, known among kitchen royalty as the MOF. Towering sculptures made only of sugar and chocolate shatter along with a few dreams. It's a surprisingly tense film considering it's about crème puffs and one that leaves viewers salivating. But for some lucky audiences, local pastry chefs turned the theater experience into a party.
The film's party life began at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was selected for their Culinary Cinema program. After the show the audience was treated to a five-course feast prepared by award-winning Chef Lea Linster as well as deserts baked by Chef Josef Zotter. He handed out exotic party favors that were syringes filled with chocolate mouse.
Kings of Pastry's USA festival premiere was the opening night highlight of the Full Frame Festival in North Carolina. In honor of which, our star Chef Jacquy Pfeiffer from Chicago's French Pastry School, built a four-foot sculpture with a movie theme. His wondrous creation had reels and film made entirely of chocolate.
Our theatrical premiere took place at New York's Film Forum. Chef Jacques Torres, a judge in the film and former MOF winner, hosted the after party at his famous chocolate shop. As Kings of Pastry opened in cities around the country, we were touched by the generosity of chefs we had never met who donated confections for the screenings. They told audiences that the hard work and dedication of the chefs in Kings of Pastry inspired them to strive for excellence in their own careers.
In Denver, Chef Keegan Gerhard, a Food Network celebrity, spoke passionately about apprenticing with Chef Jacquy Pfeiffer. And in Los Angeles Jacquy was honored by Spago's executive pastry chef, Sherry Yard, who displayed a dazzling array of pastries donated by renowned pastry chefs and included a fountain of running chocolate. Audiences in San Francisco waited in long lines in the lobby of the Balboa Theater to sample goodies from Bakers Dozen, a collective of pastry enthusiasts, while in Greenwich, Connecticut, French Chef Jean Pierre Bagnato, of the celebrated Versailles restaurant and patisserie, served moviegoers his own exquisite confections.
Jacquy impressed us when he appeared on Good Morning America hosted by George Stephanopoulos, a friend from our campaign film, The War Room. On the show Jacquy baked a mouth-watering caramelized apple puff-pastry dessert. The cameras caught the hosts shoveling it into their mouths with delight. And Jacquy built an even more realistic film sculpture, this time out of completely out of sugar.
Kings of Pastry not only seems to have caught the recent wave of interest in cooking. But also the film's underlying message is affecting. As Jacquy told us, "It's not about doing the best you can do, but the best that can be done." That's what making a perfect crème puff is all about and most other things in life too.
Our only regret is that we can't pack one of Jacquy's macaroons in each DVD box.
