Here's two decent ones I've found:
This allows you to make pattern, palette, and color data for a tile map editor. This creates tiles for graphics mode 2.
VScreen Level Editor:
This is a tilemap editor. This can use the raw output of Polka to build tilemaps.The tilemap exported is based on the dimensions of the tilemap. For example, a 1x1 tilemap (1 screen wide and tall) is exported to 768 bytes.
There is some work that needs to be done. The raw output of Polka has to be combined. In Windows you could use:
copy /b Tiles.pal+Tiles.pat+Tiles.col Tiles.sc4
It wouldn't be hard to make a simple program to write the 32 bytes of the palette, the 2048 bytes of the pattern and the 2048 bytes of the color map to a single file.
VScreen can also store additional information, such as sprite positions. I haven't looked into extracting this information. The formats are documented, and available on the VScreen manual page:
The sprite stuff is useless, as it uses sprite mode 2 of the V9938.

LF: You've used North American native plants in many of your garden designs. Why?
PO: They're such good garden plants. They're long-lived, they clump up and don't run, and they're low maintenance—particularly the grasses—which makes them especially suitable for public spaces.
Beauty in all seasons
In collaboration with Toronto-based landscape architect firm Martin Wade & Associates, Piet Oudolf designed the Toronto Botanical Garden's Entry Garden Walk and Arrival Courtyard. Enclosing the entrance is a series of formal hedges planted with a variety of deciduous shrubs trained in wire cages. The perfectly clipped forms create welcoming waves of blossoms and foliage that change with the seasons.
Compared with other public spaces Oudolf has designed, the TBG gardens are smaller in scale. The challenge was to create an inviting entrance while keeping the space intimate and complex enough to interest knowledgeable gardeners. Oudolf played with plant groupings, arranging various-sized blocks of either single specimens or combinations of hundreds of different plant families to create a harmonious diversity of textures and forms.

Tori Spelling And Dean McDermott Deny That Reality Show Is Fake
June 04, 2014 03:30 PM by Lisa Princ
For weeks now, Twitter and Facebook fans have been wondering if everything we've seen go on between Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott while watching True Tori is even real, considering that reports began to pop up recently claiming the affair may have been faked for the cameras. However, last night on the reunion show, Tori and Dean both denied that the affair and the show were fake.
When news broke of Dean McDermott's affair late last year, fans immediately began to wonder if the allegations were true, especially when many attempted to look for his alleged mistress on social media and could not find anything. So needless to say, speculation grew even more when Tori Spelling allowed cameras into the couple's life to document their marital struggles since the affair. I mean, why not cash in, right? But would they cash in for a fake story? That was exactly what numerous tabloids began to report recently, leaving us all wondering if we were being lied to.
According to Spelling and McDermott, who appeared on the True Tori reunion show last night, the entire show is 100% real, including the affair, despite McDermott's son claiming the show was fake. Spelling also claimed that she would never make up such a horrific story, and she doesn't wish that kind of pain on anyone.
Tori also admitted that since Dean left to do Chopped Canada, that wall she spoke of in earlier episodes, has started to go up again. However, the couple are still giving their relationship another shot, and Dean even gifted Tori twice last night – once with a tattoo of her wedding vows on his side, and the second was a song he wrote for her. Note to Dean, stick with acting and not singing.
But the big question everyone was anxious to hear the answer to last night was: Did Dean have more than one affair? The entire episode we were led to believe that Tori was going to ask Dean that question, but at the last minute, she decided that "now was not the time" to ask. Perhaps she was afraid of what his answer would be? She did say previously that if there were more women, she would probably leave him.
We're just sad that we can't watch what happens between these two anymore…or at least until the shows gets renewed, that is.
What do you think of Tori Spelling's marital crisis? Do you think that she and Dean will be able to save their marriage? Or should they call it quits? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0747810478, Paperback)In the skies above south-east England in 1940, battle was waged between the men and machines of the Royal Air Force and Hitler's Luftwaffe. At stake was air superiority, and the Germans intended this to be a first step in the invasion of Britain. Squadrons of Hurricanes and Spitfires, then among the best and most modern fighter aircraft in the world, took on the threat and defeated the Luftwaffe. This extensively illustrated history of the battle looks at the origins and events of the battle, at the men and women of the RAF who prepared for and fought in it, and at the ordinary people of Britain who saw a battle for their nation waged above their heads.

At the 102nd annual NAACP national convention currently taking place in Los Angeles, actor and activist Harry Belafonte echoed statements we've all heard before regarding blacks in film. He stated the Hollywood industry will..."never ever yield to the needs of people of color."
While his conclusions aren't new, he did make a point to urge the NAACP to form a group of artists and thinkers to inspire the kind of "radical thought" necessary for change, and he called on black actors and filmmakers to "come together and create some institutional base that's ours."
Concerning finding answers he stated..."You're not going to find solutions until you're willing to embrace radical thought. Every time black people moved ahead in the history of this country is because somewhere in this nation, a group of people dared to think radically and do radical things."
On a panel that included Louis Gossett Jr., Tatyana Ali, Hill Harper and members of the Black Stuntmen's Association, Belafonte explained that black artists and consumers are responsible for changing the way the entertainment industry represents people of color.
"It seems to me that long ago we could have put together black studios, put together a black distribution center. Maybe we couldn't reach 100 million, but we could reach 100,000, and have 100,000 exposed to a great truth. I'd rather have that than 100 million exposed to something vacuous and inaccurate."
Finally, he summed up his belief saying..."in pursuit of ego, in pursuit of large, ridiculous sums of money, we have sold our birthright that somehow we are more victim than we are responsible."

Visa, MasterCard back technology for cloud-based mobile payments
Visa and MasterCard are backing host card emulation, or HCE, technology that will enable the credit card companies to offer cloud-based mobile payments, in effect bypassing hardware-based mobile payment initiative backed by mobile operators.
The open architecture HCE enables payments and other near-field communications, or NFC, services to be provided without the secure element, or SE, embedded in the smartphone's SIM card.
The HCE technology is currently incorporated into the Android 4.4 (KitKat) operating system as well as the BlackBerry OS.
The move is seen by some analysts as a move by the credit card companies to thwart mobile operators' efforts to charge fees for the SE. "We believe this is partly an effort by the card issuers (MasterCard, Visa) to circumvent the MNOs [mobile network operators] who could potentially charge fees for the secure element. On the other hand, liberalization of payments with HCE will drive NFC adoption," Sterne Agee analyst Vijay Rakesh is quoted by our sister publication FierceWireless as observing.
Eden Zoller, a principal with Ovum, calls the move by Visa and MasterCard "highly disrupted" of the mobile operators' SIM-centric NFC mobile payments model.
"The prospect of a mobile proximity landscape dominated by cloud based deployments is not a scenario that operators relish. Mobile operators are driving NFC implementations based on the SE embedded in SIM cards, because this gives them maximum control over service provisioning, the m-commerce business model and revenue flows," Zoller observes.
"HCE effectively severs the dependency of NFC payments on an SE embedded in an NFC device or SIM card, in preference for a virtual SE on remote servers in the cloud. This implementation supports a more open model for NFC deployments and makes service provisioning much easier for banks, issuers, developers and other third parties. This has the potential to open up the NFC market up to more innovation and competition, but at the expense of mobile operators," she concludes.

Master's Credential Cohort Program
MEd in Curriculum and Instruction / Secondary Education
Department of Learning and Teaching
Program Overview
The Master's Credential Cohort Program is designed to prepare effective middle school and high school school teachers through coursework and field experiences leading to an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction and preliminary single subject teaching credential. The program emphasizes the connection between theory and practice, weaving together university-based coursework and thoughtfully designed field experiences. Candidates in the program develop the knowledge, skills and strategies needed to flourish in their own classrooms, as well as the critical habits of mind and reflective practice that will allow them to grow as educators throughout their careers.
The program, which may be completed in as few as 12 months, includes two semesters of student teaching at two different grade levels and a cohort-based curriculum designed to foster collaboration and community. Students may apply to one of two formats: an accelerated 12-month program beginning in July, or a two-year program beginning in the fall.
Both formats currently offer discounted graduate tuition for all incoming students.
Upon graduation, students are recommended to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the preliminary single subject credential.
What can I do with this degree?
Graduates of the program go on to teach in departmentalized classrooms, typically found in grades 7-12. The preliminary single subject teaching credential enables students to teach in the California public and private schools, and may be transferred to other states (regulations vary by state). Students are encouraged to gain authorizations to teach more than one subject - for example, both mathematics and physics.
Who should apply?
This program is designed to prepare students to enter the teaching profession. Prospective students include recent graduates, career changers, and educators in need of a teaching credential. Teaching experience is helpful, particularly for candidates planning to complete their course of study in 12 months, but is not required.
Secondary Credential Subjects
- Biology
- Chemistry
- English
- French
- General Science
- Geosciences
- Math
- Physics
- Spanish
- Social Sciences
Students interested in completing credentials in other subject areas such as Music, Art, Physical Education, Business, and Home Economics should contact SOLES Admissions and Outreach for more information before applying.

Etisalat free calls initiative to have little impact
Dubai: Etisalat's move to make landline calls in the UAE free will have little impact on the market place.
"Current move by Etisalat appears to be in line with company's strategy to strengthen its market position, over the past six to eight months it has also taken other similar initiatives to counter growing competitive intensity first by introducing pay-per-use mobile tariff plans and then by streamlining offerings for SMEs in the country," Bhanu Chaddha, senior research analyst at IDC, told Gulf News.
He said Etisalat's move may also be in preparation of the launch of fixed network sharing that has been delayed for few years now. Once launched, fixed network sharing will enable du to offer fixed line services in areas where it is currently not allowed to offer these services.
As of March 31, 2013, there are more than 14 million mobile subscribers in the UAE compared to 1.67 million fixed line subscribers.
UAE's mobile phone penetration is of the highest in the world.
"The new initiative will have a small impact on the usage as inter-emirate calls will be free of charge," said Deepak Babani, CEO of Eros Group.
As of now, inter-emirate calls are chargeable and from July 1, it will be totally free.
He said that he does not use landline and for convenience purpose most people use only mobile phones.
According to Mohammad Nazar V.K., an engineer at Adnoc, Etisalat has done a good job but at the wrong time. Most of the people use mobile phones and I have never used the fixed line for the past one year. So the new initiative is really not going to impact my telephone bills.
"What etisalat should have done is make the landline calls to mobile phone free and it would have benefited many residents and reduced their monthly telephone bills. I hope that both the telcom operators will do the same in the near future," he said.
He said that many of the residents are using mobile phones than fixed lines to make calls, so making landline calls free will not make much of a difference.
According to a recent study by TNS Mena, 83 per cent of users in the UAE agree that mobile "is an extension of me; I feel lost without it." 81 per cent stated their mobile is their most important technology gadget.
Ashish Panjabi, COO at Jacky's Electronics, is not sure of how many people will use the landline following etisalat's new move.
"Telco operators are offering free bundled minutes with each package and most of the people are texting, instead of making calls," he said.

It seems to be common knowledge that hash tables can achieve O(1) but that has never made sense to me. Can someone please explain it?
A. The value is an int smaller than the size of the hash table, so the value is its own hash, so there is no hash table but if there was it would be O(1) and still be inefficient.
B. You have to calculate the hash, so the order is O(n) for the size of the data being looked up. The lookup might be O(1) after you do O(n) work, but that still comes out to O(n) in my eyes.
And unless you have a perfect hash or a large hash table there are probably several items per bucket so it devolves into a small linear search at some point anyway.
I think hash tables are awesome, but I do not get the O(1) designation unless it is just supposed to be theoretical.
Wikipedia's article for hash tables consistently references constant lookup time and totally ignores the cost of the hash function. Is that really a fair measure?
To summarize what I learned:
It is technically true because the hash function is not required to use all the information in the key and so could be constant time, and because a large enough table can bring collisions down to near constant time.
It is true in practice because over time it just works out as long as the hash function and table size are chosen to minimize collisions, even though that often means not using a constant time hash function.

Pistachio Ice Cream.
This is the best ice cream I have ever made. It is definitely among best ice cream I have ever eaten and considering the amount of quality ice cream I have consumed in my life, the amount of frozen custard, gelato, milky ice cream, nectar of the gods delivered from a carton that has lined my stomach over the past twenty years, to be among the best, an ice cream has to be pretty good.
In general I go for the chocolate-toffee-coffee variety of ice cream. Maybe a caramel swirl, some chocolate chunks, a little Oreo or chocolate wafer here, vanilla highlight maybe. Cherry Garcia, Mint Chocolate Chip on the rare occasion. But thus far, it's been chocolate and coffee, sometimes together, sometimes apart. I know what I like. Or at least I thought.
Most surprising about pistachio ice cream and my new found addiction is that it's green. A pale, slightly earthy green. Secondly, pistachios. Not the most beloved nut in the family. But somehow, somewhere between being ground into butter and churned into ice cream, pistachios go from being the green, slightly misshapen sibling of the golden macadamia and almond to some of the best ice cream I've tasted. The play of the slightly salty pistachio and the sweet cream is phenomenal. It's so good that, with a fudge swirl ready to go into the ice cream machine, a taste of the unaltered ice cream dissuaded me from adding chocolate.
It didn't need chocolate.

Additional Information
Enforcement Agencies and the Protection of Human
Subjects (Summarized from documents presented to ASA by Judith Levy)
Judith Levy was the Principal Investigator (PI) on a research demonstration project funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA). The study, the Neighborhood Outreach Demonstration Project (NODP), was designed to implement and evaluate the efficacy of providing community-based case management and peer support to reduce drug-use and HIV transmission among active street addicts. Levy received full Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and maintained a rigorous set of procedures designed to minimize harm to research participants. She also obtained a Federal Certificate of Confidentiality issued under Public Health Service Act, 42, U.S.C. Section 242 (qa) as further protection. Levy became embroiled in an FBI investigation when two of the study's participants kidnaped their child from a Department of Child and Family Services shelter and fled across state lines. Media coverage included on-the-sidewalk news reports, un-authorized by the project, which showed the study's field station and staff. Local police, cooperating with the FBI, proposed to hide in the field station to apprehend the couple and threatened project staff with prosecution for non-cooperation. The University lawyers were not able to stop the surveillance but were able to shift the police's site of their "stake-out" to cars on the street.

Pete Wells Isn't Really a Fan of Shake Shack's Burgers, Gives the Chain a Star Anyway
"Shake Shack wasn't even consistently inconsistent. Once when I ordered a double burger, one patty was browned all the way through while the other was the color of a ripe watermelon inside."
If you opened a small but growing chain of burger joints in New York City, and the restaurant critic from the Times said that your burger was often "cooked to the color of wet newsprint, inside and out, and salted so meekly that eating it was as satisfying as hearing a friend talk about a burger his cousin ate," you might not expect to last very long in this burger-saturated city. If you are Danny Meyer, and the burger chain is Shake Shack, you will apparently get a star and a full review that says, in essence, "Hey, the fries suck, and there are better burgers out there, but at least the employees are friendly!" We'd say this bodes well for North End Grill, but between this Shake Shack review, and last week's three-star rave review of Il Buco Alimentari, we're not even sure if Pete Wells is interested in reviewing actual restaurants anymore.

The Energy Department launched a competition Thursday, challenging participants to create a mobile application for putting commercial utility data into a format consumers can use to monitor energy use, FedScoop reports.
U.S.-based developers who are 13 years old or older can submit their apps to the department until May 15.
The grand prize winner will receive $30,000, according to the competition video.
The department launched the competition in partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Itron and Gridwise Alliance in order to promote use of Green Button data.
The Energy Department wants the solution to help energy consumers save and understand their energy usage, according to the video.
Competitors submitting apps are encouraged to include data in their solution from various sources in order to create a fuller picture of energy usage.
The competition is also open to U.S.-based companies and organizations.
The Energy Department said apps can be in any software application form, including for mobile devices, personal computers or web-based apps capable of running on publicly available software.
The Defense Department recently launched a similar contest asking for industry to submit mobile apps for supporting agency functions.
The Pentagon said it wanted mobile solutions for learning tools in science, technology, engineering and math education for grades K-12.

Outstanding abodes: a peek at the Dwell Home Tour in San Diego
Dwell magazine picks unique north, central homes for a first-ever San Diego two-day tour
Dwell Home Tour
When: Saturday, Nov. 10, and Sunday, Nov. 11
Where: North County tour on Saturday, Nov. 10; Central San Diego County tour on Sunday, Nov. 11
Tickets: Purchase a two-day pass ($150) and receive one free ticket to a "Meet the Architects" reception on Friday, Nov. 9. Single-day passes, $75. A portion of all ticket proceeds will benefit Dwell Home Tours nonprofit partner, Architecture for Humanity.
The architects speak: For a bonus Q&A with two of the architects, go to
The owners were well on their way to starting the remodel of a Mission Hills 1970s-era house when architect Bill Bocken got a phone call.
"At the eleventh hour, the owner called me just to help with the interior design — the furniture selection and that sort of thing," he said. "I saw what they were about to do, and I said, 'Wait, you gotta give me the weekend.' I took a few photographs and went away for the weekend. I came back with an idea that I think was really what they were looking for."
The 1978-built house — once considered dark, dated and claustrophobic — possessed one unique architectural feature: Its core structure consisted of telephone poles cantilevered off the canyon floor.
"The idea was to respect the original structure, let it sing the song and be the star of the show," said Bocken of Bill Bocken Architecture and Design. "Everything I did was meant to reduce the visual noise ... that was hiding the structure's true beauty. It was fairly straightforward and simple, and everything followed a formula. The goal, simply, was to celebrate the structure."
The 2,700-square-foot home, remodeled in 2009, now stands proudly, high atop Mission Hills, with stunning views of Mission Valley and the Pacific.
Next weekend, the Bocken-designed house — dubbed the Mission Hills Treehouse — will be one of 10 San Diego County homes featured in the first-ever Dwell Home Tour in San Diego. Dwell magazine, considered by many as the purveyor of all things modern, already has had successful tours in Marin County and Los Angeles. Thanks to their popularity, the magazine has expanded its roster to include San Diego, New York City and Silicon Valley.
Five North County homes will be showcased on Saturday, and another five, in central San Diego County, will be featured on Sunday.
For Bocken, being chosen as part of the tour is an honor: "It's a big deal. I was kind of shocked, personally. My style ranges from historical to contemporary, and so I wouldn't be the typical person to be on the Dwell tour. It was quite an honor to be picked."
San Diego-based Public Architecture and Planning has two homes on the tour: the Harris Residence in Encinitas and the Munson Residence in Del Mar. Co-principal James Brown attributed the success of the company's projects to teamwork: "Both homes had complete teams behind them, and that is the reason for our success. A good project team begins with good clients — clients who have trust in their architects, who make their needs clear, and who are free and open with their thoughts."
With the Harris Residence in Encinitas, Brown and his colleague, co-principal James Gates, were challenged with making the house feel open to the outdoors.
"This remodel takes the character of the existing house from 1948 and expands it," Gates said.
"The original cottage was so small and delicate that to add even 500 square feet to it seemed like an affront," Brown said. "Instead we built other structures away from the original structure, which then partly turned the design into a study of the outdoors."

We're pleased to announce that the #NotARule Tour is coming to the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park on July 1st, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event will take place during our Wild Wednesday half-price admission time frame, so anyone who visits during the event can enjoy half-priced admission into the zoo. Author of the new book, Penguins Can't Fly +39 Other Rules That Don't Exist, Jason Kotecki, will be on-site for book signings, complete with fun activities for families to enjoy. There will be books available in the Paws & Claws Gift Shop for visitors to purchase, and all proceeds from the book sales will support the zoo's conservation efforts.
The 2015 #Notarule Tour is a curious cavalcade of unusual events united in the purpose of helping people break rules that don't exist. Fueled by the message of Jason Kotecki's new book from St. Martin's Press, Penguins Can't Fly +39 Other Rules That Don't Exist, this is one unconventional book tour.
"This is not a traditional lame and boring book signing," says Kotecki, who is also an artist and professional speaker. "Our goal is to take the focus off the author and tell a better story by creating a fun and memorable experience that gives guests opportunities to break a bunch of rules with their friends and family."
Some of the rule-breaking activity stations that will be featured include:
"Thou Shalt Act Thine Age:" A photo booth where attendees are encouraged to take pictures after dressing up using silly hats and props.
"Thy Cookies Shalt Be Beautiful:" Featuring bakery-made penguin-shaped sugar cookies, where attendees will be invited to decorate a cookie (ugly) with nasty colored frostings and sprinkles.
"Thou Shalt Not Draw on Thy Children:" Attendees will be invited to use washable markers to draw mustaches on their children or each other!
The event is free with zoo admission.

Hi Everybody! This website is spectacular! After realizing my need to start exercising, I started riding a very old 'garage sale' bridgestone road bike my uncle gave me, and after about 3 weeks of riding and feeling great (other than some sore knees) found myself at the LBS looking for something newer. I was finding that because of my time restraints, 6-12 miles about 5 days a week was a good fit. I originally wanted a mtb in case I wanted to hit a trail once in a while, but found the ride to rough for the streets, so I ended up with a Trek Navigator 200 since I had <$400 to spend. At 31 yrs old, I'm beginning to think I'm the youngest Navigator rider out there, but I love the thing and it sure beats a huffy, right? I keep it between 13 -18 mph, and it's pretty confortable- I knowingly traded speed for slighty more relaxed ride and a better look at the scenery (which is beautiful along Lake Michigan!)
Anyway, I just don't feel 'right' (physically or mentally) if I don't get on the bike, even though it's only a few, slow miles compared to alot of you guys. I'm falling in love here guys! I used to think y'all were crazy, now I'm beginning to catch the craziness.
Thanks everyone here for providing a great, onformative, supportive website!

I know there are things more exciting than documentation, but is there other current papers on the RC2 release or 5.0 in general beyond the Release Notes?
I wonder about things like architectural changes and instant message integration specs and much more. Am I just not looking in the right places? Is documentation developed concurrent with the application or will we see it closer to release date?
Thank you in advance.

With the onset of the hiring season in campuses in India, Firstnaukri.coms survey with more than 115 recruiters reveals that there will be an overall decline in campus hiring in 2014. Out of the total recruiters surveyed, 73% said that the number of students to be hired from campuses will be lower in 2014 as compared to 56% in 2013. As many as 44% recruiters who hire engineers expect a decline in hiring in 2014 as compared to 50% who echoed a similar sentiment in 2013. When we asked recruiters, who hire only MBA students, all of them said that they will visit fewer campuses and will hire lower number of students this year. Commenting on the findings, Deepali Singh, business head, Firstnaukri.com said The uncertain economic conditions will continue to manifest itself through a weaker demand for students in campus hiring. Most of the companies have adopted a watchful approach towards recruitments and its ramifications will be felt in campus hiring as well. We expect fewer students to get employment from campuses next year. The survey found that availability of quality talent still remains the lodestone for companies when it comes to selecting colleges for campus hiring with 25% of the recruiters expressing it as a key factor while selecting campuses for placements. And the lack of communication and analytical skills, students refusal to join a company after accepting the offer and salary expectations are some of the challenges faced by the recruiters. Also, personal interviews emerged as the most favoured mode of recruiting students with 40% of total recruiters opting for the same.

Regular season basketball champions crowned
Mikayla Kane scores for Duncn Real Estate in its Division III
playoff game against LPAC Saturday, March 8.
The regular basketball season at AMICC has ended and it was a successful outing for a number of teams and not necessarily just the division champs. If basketball is your sport as a spectator you will not have been disappointed. There have been many emotions over the past weeks, conveyed in these pages and seen in the brand new gym. For the coaches there have been highs and lows, as you would expect. They have also taken positives and have had chances to question their ability and to pat themselves on the back. The players walk away with a new skill set, one that they will hone on driveways and quiet streets and then bring back again, better, next year. It's now on to the playoffs.
March 3
Division III
Coastal Orthopedic 22 -
Duncan Real Estate 15
Duncan's first loss of the season came at the hands of a Coastal side that has really turned its fortunes around of late. Duncan was without Mikayla Kane and Chase Lewis was again restricted but did make up for it later in the game, finishing on 10 points. Lauren Sapienza, a powerhouse for Duncan all season, contributed with five points but it was a consistent team effort from Coastal that won the day. Mikey Ellsworth top scored with eight points, six each for Tyler and Alexia Yavalar with two in from Kia Kern.
Premier League
Island Real Estate 45 -
Rotten Ralph's 44
All season long Rotten Ralph's has played with flair and a drive that its opponents have found difficult to match at times. This was one of those times and Island Real was lucky to come out on top in this ultra close encounter. Ralph's Joe Karasiewicz was on fire in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 of his 19 point total and Olivia Moore also came alive late in the game scoring eight points. It was a solid effort and a 15-point contribution from Celia Ware and Cory Stickler before both fouled out and Daniel Janisch had two. Off to a sluggish start with only 12 points scored by halftime, Island Real Estate worked it out in the third, and free throw specialist Jamison Urch hit six from 10 going on to score a massive 26 points. An impressive Amanda Burnett had 16 total with 14 coming in the second half and Nash Thompson had three. Island Real looked ahead and breathed a sigh of relief.
March 4
Division I
Island Lumber 32 -
Air and Energy 17
A must win game for Island Lumber as it pushed hard to secure top spot in this division, it was a five-strong squad with two players out that took the game to a competent Air and Energy. Joey Garbus scored 10, Becca Butler finished on nine and there were points in from the remaining players, Zach Guerin, Chris Pate and Geoff Pinter. In its defense, Air and Energy outscored its opponents in the second half, but took too long to get it going with a deficit of 16 points at halftime. Justin Gargett posted 11 and Daniel Pimentel rounded out the scoring for A &E with six points. They may have lost the game but the team still has the edge.
March 5
Division II
Dips Ice Cream 14 -
Jessie's Island Store 10
Jessie's wanted to mix it up here against regular season Champs Dips Ice Cream. Dips was without points master Daniel Schroaeder and was missing another player, allowing no subs in a game that saw Blaine Jenefsky foul out in the fourth. Jessie's matched Dips point for point in the second half and it was a strong team effort with points in from Caitlyn Stark, Jacque Lynn "Bob" Armer and Jake Parsons. Early baskets from Johnny Mattay and Blaine Jenefsky won the game for Dips and while Dips Ice Cream is easy to lick, the team isn't!
Premier League
West Coast Air 53 -
Connect Cycles 46
West Coast Air Coach Koszewski has had his moments of calm at times throughout this season, but also coaches with a level of intensity, needed in this division, that he used to push his team to the top. Connect Cycles wanted to take advantage as West Coast was missing two of its star players. Kyle Aritt, awesome for Connect this season, was busy throughout and scored 21 points, Tommy Price squeaked in two early points but saved himself for the latter stages and eventually posted 18. Erin Dolan, Zach Evans and Brandon Gengler were all on the score sheet for Connect Cycles. In reply for West Coast was team Bauer scoring 30 points, nine from Whitney and 21 from Matt, Michael Kirby got busy and offered up 17 with a steady Forrest Schield on six. Without any subs to call on this was an excellent effort from regular season champs West Coast Air.
March 6
Division I
Air and Energy 43 -
A Paradise Realty 32
This was a battle between teams fighting for third place honors in a hotly contested division. Air and Energy was missing three players and did anyone say flu virus? A Paradise also was down and neither team had subs on the bench. The players left on court did not disappoint and it was another match-up that saw the losing team outscore the eventual winners in the second half. Early bird A & E was in it from the start and powered to half time, up by 12 points. It was energy and effort by Justin Gargett with 17 and Daniel Pimentel on 14 that kept A & E ahead, even though A Paradise, with 20 big points coming from Trevor Bystrom, had a strong finish.
Division I
Island Lumber 41 -
AMI Sun 18
The battle for first place in this division was on here as AMI Sun looked to secure its lead and Island Lumber wanted to steal some thunder. Both teams have had very successful seasons under their leadership and coaches involved will be pleased with the effort in this, as mentioned earlier, hotly contested division. This week, more than a couple of teams have started strong by tearing out of the gate and never looking back. Island Lumber was one of those teams, creating a 12-point deficit by the end of the first quarter. AMI Sun employed a full court press early in the game to force a slowdown that saw the deficit decrease by two points at halftime. Although AMI Sun stopped the rot using a good tactical approach, it failed to offer anything but two points in the second half and this cost it the game against an Island Lumber outfit that posted 15 in the second half by way of Becca Butler, Zach Guerin, Dayle Hoffman and Chris Pate. Notable for AMI Sun was Connor Field with six, Chris Hightower and Patrick Edwards with four each and two each for Julian Botero and Christian Diaz.
March 7
Division 1
AMI Sun 28 -
A Paradise Realty 23
With the loss to Island Lumber, AMI Sun was back in action just 24 hours later, now knowing it had to beat A Paradise to be proclaimed regular season co-champions with Island Lumber. A Paradise was not a team to sit back and let it happen on this night and it stayed in contention through to halftime. AMI Sun mixed it up in the latter stages of the game and, although the score remained close, it had enough to win it and claim its prize. For A Paradise, Taylor Wilson top scored with nine and Savannah Schield followed one point behind with eight. Kayla Armer had four and Jack Titsworth with two rounded out the scoring. Notable for AMI Sun was Julian Botero who finished with 14, Patrick Edwards had six points and it was four each for Connor Field and Chris Hightower.
Premier League
West Coast Air 68 -
Island Real Estate 63
When I first saw the score sheets from this game, all I could think was Wake Forest 78, N.C. State 67, a final score from last Saturday's college hoops. I know sometimes, teams at AMICC post big scores during the season, but this was incredible. Island Real Estate couldn't catch West Coast at this stage but it did want to put a huge exclamation mark over its season. It nearly did just that. Ahead by eight points at halftime, Island Real Estate was led by Christina Natali, who was hitting three pointers as if they were going out of fashion. She eventually finished with 26 points, while teammate Amanda Burnett got in stride early and went on to post 28. IRE looked like a team intent on proving a point, but it didn't reckon on Matt Bauer, consistent throughout, scoring 19, and Michael Kirby, who came alive after the half and dropped in 27 points. Forrest Schield was another notable for a West Coast side that finished the season strong after already being crowned division champions.
Premier League
Connect Cycles 46 -
Rotten Ralph's 28
If you look at the statistics you would think that Rotten Ralph's was undone in this division and that's really not the case. The likes of Joe Karasiewicz, Celia Ware, Cory Stickler, Katie Hunt and Lauren Hightower would tell you of the team spirit that runs throughout, the commitment showed when everything seemed a lost cause and I could tell you about the outstanding plays, drive and determination I have personally seen. Rotten Ralph's was a good team to be on this season, and while statistics can't say that, I can. Connect Cycles, under the leadership of Coach Nelson, was a very stable outfit with some good strong players. Tommy Price, solid throughout the season, was leading scorer with 13 points, Kyle Aritt posted a respectable 11 and 10 points came from Zach Evans.
Playoff Action Starts in Division III
Third placed Coastal Orthopedic took on a second placed Ross Built early Saturday morning at AMICC. Ross looked strong with Jake Ross finishing the game with 15 points. Chris Adkins, Madison Gsell, Andrew Ross and Luke Valadie all found the basket as Ross Built took this game 24-0 and will progress to the next round where they will face regular season champs, Duncan Real Estate. Duncan took on fourth place finishers LPAC in the other game and was tested by Coach Starks' team going into halftime. Lauren Sapienza and Mikayla Kane showed us why Duncan finished on top of the division by scoring all 16 of the teams' points, making the final score 16-9. So it's Ross Built vs. Duncan Real Estate in the Division III playoff Tuesday, March 11.

'Piggy Nation' premieres at Sooner Theatre in Norman
NORMAN — Tickets are on sale for Sooner The
The children's musical is adapted from Oklahoma author Richard Rosser's book "Piggy Nation: A Day at Work With Dad."
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at the theater, 101 E Main St. Tickets are $10 and available online at www.
The production will mark the Oklahoma and Southwest premiere. Directed and choreographed by Mat and Stephanie Govich, the musical features a cast of performers ages 8 to 13 and is appropriate for audiences of all ages.
"We are absolutely delighted to bring Richard's work to life at Sooner Theatre," Executive Director Jennifer Baker said. "It's exciting for our students to have the opportunity to perform a new piece and to create their characters. The show has great lessons for all of us told in a way that really reaches children on their level."
The musical, like the book, focuses on piggy behavior in an amusing, colorful update of the Golden Rule, Baker said.
The main character is a piglet named Sammy who joins his dad on "Piggy Patrol." As they search the town for piggies, Sammy learns about rude behavior. The story has been adapted by Rosser into a full-length musical with 12 songs and a cast of 20.
Working with composer Alec Wells, Rosser has incorporated blues, zydeco, rock, rap and gospel music into the show.

As is my recording part of the script is using
I know that collects the referer; but I want the realtime url.
I've looked around and found:
But after I did some tests - that would not include anything after the index.php part; meaning:
ROOT/test.php?page=2 & ROOT/test.php
both equal:
I need that - for example -?page=2 part.
How can I get it as the page exists, not waiting for the next click?
So you would be inserting URL?QUERY_STRING
Anyway ... hope this at least tells you where to look for the data ;)

Former Dance Moms Star Asia Monet Ray: The Next Beyonce?
August 11, 2014 11:34 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Move over Honey Boo Boo — there's a new child star taking over America's television screens! Asia Monet Ray – originally of Dance Moms and Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition fame — is starring in her very own reality show! The little dancer says that her goal is to become the next Beyonce…but her mom is more interested in keeping her daughter grounded. Can these two seemingly incompatible goals be achieved at the same time?
With her sassy on-stage personality and amazing technique, Asia Monet Ray is a clear dance prodigy. Her abilities extend from the stage to the television screen, as evidenced by memorable appearances on Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition and Dance Moms. Now, the young reality star is continuing her rise to the top of the entertainment industry, capturing Facebook interest with a new show called Raising Asia.
SheKnows caught up with Asia Monet Ray at last night's Teen Choice Awards, and wow — talk about a bundle of energy! The tiny dancer is excited about Raising Asia, which she says is intended to "[show] the whole world that I put in a lot of hard work to be the next Beyonce." The reality star adds that, while there are some similarities between Raising Asia and Dance Moms, she is no longer "being held back from other cast members to do what I love doing."
Her daughter may possess a bit of a diva attitude, but Kristie Ray says she works hard to keep Asia grounded. To achieve this end, Kristie and Asia set aside plenty of time for family gatherings. "On her time off, she's with family…we want to make sure she keeps her values and follows her dreams."
It sounds like Kristie Ray is doing a great job of raising a grounded little Beyonce! We look forward to seeing more of Asia Monet Ray's amazing talent on future episodes of Raising Asia!
Are you impressed by Asia Monet Ray? Or is she, as Twitter critics allege, a more talented but equally spoiled version of Honey Boo Boo? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

I know about the RAAM Races, but what is the exact route or does it change?

I know about the RAAM Races, but what is the exact route or does it change?
What is the exact start and finish points?
Do a yahoo/google search for the official RAAM website and you're search for knowledge will be satisfied young grasshopper.
While others have labelled me antisocial at various times, it's actually not true. I just don't like people.
it's published on their site. When someone I know was riding it, I would look at his Spot tracker and go to google street view and see what it looked like there.
The route changes from year to year, sometimes drastically. The last five or six years the changes have been minor. They have a really good relationship in Oceanside for the start so I don't see that changing much in the coming years. If anything major changes it will be in the finish but that looks good for the near future as well. Next year will be very similar to this year with the usual minor changes...

It doesn't get harder, you just go slower.
The very first (called "The Great American Bicycle Race") started at the Santa Monica Pier and the finish line was on 5th Ave in NYC, in front of the Empire State Building.
Where have the years gone...?

Excellent card at an excellent price
This review is from: EVGA 03G-P4-2781-RX GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card Factory Refurbished Certified Refurbished
Pros: Incredibly fast GPU. At the time of this writing, it's ranked #3 on PassMark's GPU benchmark and will probably keep its spot in the top ten for a few years to come. The refurb unit came in very plain packaging (no fuss, no muss) and thus far is perfectly reliable. (I'm not surprised, given that refurbs frequently go through much more stringent quality control than new-in-box items.) Getting it for $50 off retail opened up my budget for nicer memory in my new build, too. The Nvidia reference design cooler is very capable and exhausts all of its heat directly out the back of my case instead of recirculating it. By manually setting the fan to ~90% max RPM, I can keep the card at a cool 70ºC when it's running at 100% utilization. By default, it keeps the fan down around 50% and runs at 80ºC.
Cons: Above 50%, the fan becomes very noisy. This is to be expected, however, given the extreme amount of air it moves and its small diameter. I would still recommend the reference design cooler over any aftermarket cooler that uses axial fans and vents into the case instead of using a centrifugal fan and venting out the back.

Spy photo show a closer look on the Mercedes-Benz's drop-top roadster without much of its usual camouflage. Taken while doing its test drives in Germany with its roof down. With regards to its performance, the convertible should be a little short in contrast to the old model, due to few additional kilos in the roof's mechanism and body strengthening. Under the new SLS' hood would be a similar 564bhp 6.2 litre V8 engine similar to the older model. The vehicle is expected to go from 0-62 mph at around four seconds.

How can I keep my pregnancy under wraps until after my first trimester?
We want to wait until after the first trimester to tell our family and friends we're expecting, but people keep asking if I'm pregnant! (I'm currently five weeks along.) How do I put off their questions without being too harsh or revealing our secret?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and am amazed at the amount of people who have "popped the question". My answer: "It would be such a blessing" or "I hope you're right, but time will tell"...posted 09/14/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I just had a miscarriage 3 months ago at 7 weeks along and it was made much harder by the fact that everyone knew I was pregnant (including about 100 people at our church) and a lot of them hadn't got the news that we lost the baby and would come up to me all the time to "congratulate" me. Then it would be so awkward because I'd have to say, "thank you, but we lost the baby". Then they are standing there feeling like a jerk and I felt so uncomfortable. I am pregnant again (6 weeks along currently) and we are going to tell our families when I am 8 weeks at our daughter's birthday party when everyone is together. I feel like they are the people that would be supporting me anyway if we lost another baby. My advice is to tell the people who are your support system (family, close friends) but not to tell the ENTIRE WORLD until closer to the end of the first trimester because it is horrible to have to continually explain to well wishers that you aren't pregnant anymore.posted 08/11/2005 by loufrando
We are pregnant with our 2nd child and at 41 it's an opps baby, we are choosing to wait until the amnio comes back so we know the baby is healthy and the sex, I like the idea of our daughter wearing a "I'm a big sister" shirt. Maybe we'll do that and take a picture of her and e-mail it to everyone and see who gets the hint:-)posted 08/04/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I have to join the chorus of voices saying, "Tell people whose support you'd want if you had a miscarriage." I'm now at 12-1/2 weeks, and we've told the following people: Close family members, close friends, and close coworkers (I am a social worker on a very supportive team of six, and I've felt quite comfortable sharing all the first-trimester ups and downs with them.) I haven't told any other co-workers, casual friends, or family members with whom I don't feel close. I've had several *terrifying* episodes of light bleeding, which turned out to be from a cervical polyp that can't be completely removed until after pregnancy. I've also had killer nausea, fatigue, weight loss, and a bladder infection-- all of which are hard to keep under wraps when you really need people to understand that you're not slacking, just sick! All U/S and Dopplers have showed a healthy fetus. We're planning to make the news completely public after my genetics-screening ultrasound at 13 weeks on the dot. Each person must find their own way in this matter, but I am a little sad for those women who hold their joy from everyone for weeks because they feel that they couldn't possibly face discussing a miscarriage. What are friends and family for?posted 07/29/2005 by Froggy0815
It's funny, after you're married, the first time you refuse a glass of wine, everyone arches an eyebrow at you! We are currently 7 weeks into our second pregnancy. The first ended in a missed miscarriage at five weeks. The first time, we told just about everybody. This time, we were a lot more selective and patient! Of course, going through the trauma of a loss with a group of people who knew about the pregnancy is great, but once that group expands to over ten people it stops being supportive and starts being painful to even talk to them (Seriously, how many loaded "How are you doing?"s can a grieving couple handle?). So we've told the people who've asked that we haven't got any news yet, but we are trying. Several of my already-a-parent friends I have told that I will not be making an announcement before the second trimester. The ones who have been there and done that seem to understand and stop questioning you.posted 07/19/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 9 weeks pregnant with number three, we told everyone straight away with number one but then I had a miscarriage between baby one and baby two so we waited with the next one and are waiting with this one two until 12 weeks but that is my husbands choice not mine( the miscarriage hit him pretty hard!). I would rather have evreyone know and then know why i was crying all the time if I lost it. But thats just me. We have told family straight away every time.posted 04/25/2005 by sarah.l
I told my close friends and family as soon as we found out. I waited until after the 12th week to let everyone else know I was pregnunt. It was really hard at times to keep the secret, but I didn't want to have to explain it to everyone if I lost the baby. My sister on the other hand didn't tell anyone until she was 3 months pregnunt. She kept it secret because her husband went to Iraq for 35 days and she wanted him here to share the news. She kind of regrets her decision now, because in those first few weeks when your body is changing, she had no one to talk to about it. I say tell your family, and wait on everyone else.posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
i had just found out i was pregnant @5wks and my boyfriend at the time left me in a massive shopping centre, miles from home on boxing day when there's no buses. now how evil is that!! then again the baby wasnt his so what do u expect. i think i should have kept it secret til i at least got back home. im now 21wk found out its twins, boy and girl and couldnt b happier.posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
This week I am 14 1/2 weeks along. I just got back from seeing my boyfriend in Montana. Right now I am 18, and am a freshman in college. For my third quarter I decided to come back to Washington to go to a community college here. My boyfriend's family was the first to know. After I was in a car accident, the ER gave me a pregancy test before I recieved x-rays. It was positive, and the nurse told my boyfriend's family. They were mad at first, but now they love the idea. My family is still mad, and hopefully they will accept my decision to keep the child. I am so excited!posted 04/24/2005 by Indianteen
