- Picture perfect patio settingFLMEMADined on 9/19/2014We have eaten here several times before and the food is always delicious & service wonderful. But this was the first time we were able to eat on the patio as it is usually too hot. On this evening, we were having a rain event and we sat outside watching the rain fall on the pretty pond and natural vegetation. It was relaxing and wonderful. We enjoyed what will likely be our last summer duo special until next year. It's such a great value for the excellent food & wine. Looking forward to next off-season!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant surprise!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014Fresh, excellent service and moderate prices. We'll go again.Special Features:
- Yum!srqfoodieDined on 9/5/2014The food is always very good. We miss the Ahi Tuna entree choice on the summer special menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always goodBernardDined on 9/5/2014Treviso is reliably very good. It's more fun to eat outside on the terrace, but, you know, 95 degrees....And inside is just fine, without being special. The food is just what you would want for a nice lunch, except it is not nearly as expensive as most museum restaurants. WE were pleased enough to book for next week!Special Features:
- DonDinerDonDined on 8/30/2014My first experience dining at Treviso was excellent as expected. The wait staff was very friendly and professional. The service was timely. The food choices were excellent and our meals were wonderful. The price was very good for the value of the meal which had wonderful flavor. Portions were just right and not too large. The dinner for two with the bottle of wine was a great option for us. The watermelon gazpacho was very appetizing and light with a host of flavors, and the potato crusted mahi was perfect! We will definitely dine at Treviso in the near future.Special Features:
- Expecting betterHoping4MoreDined on 8/23/2014Setting was below expectations - this is the Ringling - chairs, floors, etc, all seemed worn, not clean. Food was a disappointment-advertised fresh, farm-yet, not a single fresh veg. Salad wilted, old lettuce, and too small. Dinner veggies seemed artificial they were so poor. Not fresh, doused in some sauce. Lacking in healthy, vegan, or vegetarian options. Nice and quiet when empty, but could not talk once restaurant was half full. Our waiter was very nice. Will NOT return.Special Features:
- bobbygDined on 8/22/2014Great meal for the money! One cannot go wrong with Trevisio's summer dining special.Special Features:
- Enjoyed our ReturnJackPatDined on 8/21/2014This was our second visit and it won't be our last. The food was very good and best of all it was their summer special menu with a exceptional price. This could become a weekly event!Special Features:
- Better than expectedanuncommonmanDined on 8/14/2014The number of negative on-line reviews about Treviso made me leery of trying it, but we went to catch the summer dinner special. We were pleasantly surprised to find good service and good food. The service staff didn't really seem to fit in with what is sold as an "elegant" dining venue, but they were friendly and competent. The place was full and it seemed understaffed, with servers and bartenders handling multiple tasks. Yes, portions were small but they were tasty and well-presented. Dining with the pre-theater crowd gave the place a good energy; people seemed to be having fun. We combined our visit with the extended hours on Thursdays for the circus museum directly adjacent. A nice evening, and I want to go again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great value okay food. Very noisyElparker27Dined on 8/14/2014This was a wonderful value, but food was just okay and the place is very noisy. I would go back for this deal but probably notd otherwise
- Lovely EnvironmentDonnaTDined on 8/14/2014Treviso is a lovely setting for visiting with loved ones. I took two of my daughter's there to celebrate their birthdays' - we really needed to just relax and enjoy each other. The maître"D, hostess and servers were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the special they had going and although the menu we could select from was limited, and the entree's were not exceptional, we found the house wine that was included was very nice. We told our waitress we were in no hurry to make a show - she gave us the right amount of attention without being pushy. One recommendation would be to allow enough time to walk the gorgeous grounds; everything closes at 8. So thank you Treviso for allowing 3 women to enjoy their night out. We will all be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Art and Dinning at it's Best.Luv2dinDined on 8/14/2014Best Summer menu and deal in town. Food and wine where both a pleasure for the palate. The beautiful surroundings make it a delightful evening out with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014very good will come back enjoy dinner, but wish I did not rushed between coures,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre Theatre convenienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/8/2014My daughter in law and I have visited before anyway but we had a time crunch due to attending the Asolo the same night. The summer menu was excellent value and we have a great meal with wine and had time to spare to walk across to the Asolo which added to the whole evening.Special Features:
- Great Service, OK FoodJazzyChazzDined on 8/7/2014We were attracted by the 3-course meal for 2 plus bottle of wine for $45 deal. The ambience reminded us of a cafeteria. Too bad the nice patio is directly in the afternoon/evening sun, way too hot for enjoyment - needs umbrellas or similar. The food was good but not particularly memorable. First course - greens from a bags, nothing special. Entrees - Mahi Mahi tastey but overcooked, small Filet nicely cooked, tender and juicey - both served with same sides - green beans almandine from a freezer bag, enjoyed the risotto but it was a bit bland. Dessert - raspberry sorbet or key lime pie - both seemed ordinary, from the grocery freezer section. As for the wine - it was cold and enjoyable. All in all worth the price but nothing special.
- For a Ringling visitor good eatery!OtterBDined on 8/4/2014Convenient to Asolo and Ringling museums Treviso is a very good eatery. Modern decor indoors and patio overlooks a sweet garden pond.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for pre-theaterLoriDined on 8/2/2014My dining partner and I enjoyed the fixed price summer special - $45 for a bottle of wine, soup or salad, entree and dessert. The menu was not particularly inspired, but the food was nicely prepared. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Treviso, but for a pre-theater meal it was better than adequate.
- Treviso Scores AgainNotableNoshesDined on 7/27/2014My wife and I were once again impressed with the food and service at Treviso at a recent lunch. As it was an extremely hot day, we chose to be seated in the pleasant dining room rather than the otherwise very inviting patio. We both choose the Crab Cake Benedict, which was perfectly prepared and served with al dente freshly-steamed asparagus. Heaven! For dessert, we shared a wonderful mango-raspberry mousse on a light sponge cake. Thus, amply fortified, we were ready for a lengthy tour of the Ringling Art Museum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday LunchFloridaNativeDined on 7/27/2014Our group of five would rate the food and price as really good for the amount and quality. The grouper sandwich I had would not be a recommendation. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Lunch RestaurantfrannieDined on 7/26/2014We made reservations so as to let the restaurant know one of our party would require wheelchair accommodations. When we arrived they were expecting us and gave us a table with perfect for wheelchairs. We had an excellent waitress. One of our party members was late but she did not appear to be upset by this and shared a very good sense of humor. Because of this we had an excellent lunch experience. I also might add it was busy for a Sat lunch out of season.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NanaBananaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014Enjoyed a lunch before the Summer Circus Performance. They did not have any regular brewed Iced Tea available...but did bring a flavored tea. The Pizza was delicious....our server was gracious, informative & attentive....the salad portions were generous .....the French Fries yummy....all in all we enjoyed our visit and will return again. One of the main problems we were confronted with was that the salad serving plate (rectangular in shape) would slide around when attempting to cut the food with a knife....due to the fact that there was no table cloth ....we asked for an extra cloth napkin and placed it under the salad plate which seem to solve the problem.Special Features:

Ambience of restuarant and view of pond was relaxing and allowed our party of four to talk and enjoy our meal. Service was outstanding. The biggest surprise was their fixed price meal for two, something I do not usually like in restuarants. The entree choices were varied enough for allowing you "real" choices for your meal and the quality of the meal was exceptional. Overall we feel we found a gem right in our neighborhood !Special Features:

- Downhill slidedisappointedDined on 6/21/2014Every summer, I've used this restaurant during the summer for their full dinner special several times each year. Every year it's been great until this year. The portions have shrunk, the chef must be on vacation, the wine selections reduced, no choice of desert, but the price increased 15%. You don't get many chances in Sarasota where there's no shortage of quality restaurants. This one has been scratched off the list.

AMHERST, Wis. (WSAU) -- Investigators aren't talking about Tuesday's search of an Amherst business and attached residence, but the owner certainly is.
His name is Laine Shields, and he's the owner of the B-Bar-10 Western Store. Shields was urged by police not to talk to the media, but says he has nothing to hide.
The Department of Criminal Investigations was aided by Portage and Waupaca County sheriff's deputies and New London Police as they executed a search warrant Tuesday for the second time this year.
Shields says it's all because a former employee accused him of an unsolved double murder from 21 years ago near Weyauwega and soliciting the rape of a woman in Iola 23 years ago.
Shields says he welcomed the searches. "Well, I told them If you want to search the place, search the place. they executed a search warrant. I had nothing to hide. I had nothing to hide on the John Doe investigation. I answered all except one question, which the one question I figured wasn't any of their business. As far as the search warrant they came here with in the month of March, I had nothing to hide also."
The former employee is Glendon Gouker. That name might sound familiar, since Gouker was convicted of raping a woman at an Iola park in November of 1990... the same woman he says Shields hired him to rape. Shields denies any involvement in the crimes.
Gouker is also guilty of murdering 19-year-old Ethan Walton and raping Walton's girlfriend at gunpoint in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma in September of 2010. Oklahoma prosecutors sought the death penalty. Shields believes Gouker promised to reveal who killed 23-year-old Tanna Togstad and 34-year-old Timothy Mumbre in 1992 to escape the death sentence...and then told investigators Shields did it.
Shields says the searches have produced nothing, because he is innocent. He says officers confiscated several of his firearms during the search warrant executed last March. He has hired an attorney to help get his weapons back. "I was supposed to get them back in September. They were supposed to be delivered back to my store and home, and they were not delivered, and nobody would talk to me as far as what was going on. When I called Waupaca County to their deputy sheriff's over there and their detectives, none of them were open to comment or to talk to me."
During Tuesday's search, Shields says officers were very thorough, and messy. "All of the papers, all the drawers, everything was strewn just about all over and all mixed in, and furniture was moved around. Panels were cut off the walls to check to see if I had any hidden rooms. They were looking for tunnels."
Officers also searched Shields' property between Tomahawk and Tripoli, looking for bodies, tarps, and signs of a crime being committed. Shields says he didn't buy that property until about three years after the Weyauwega homicides, so it only makes sense police found nothing there, as well.
Shields says he would like to see the crimes solved, too. He would also like to get his life back, since the activities have taken a toll on his life and his business. "It's a lot of stress, and you know, it's constantly there. You're being accused of something you didn't do, and it's 24 hours a day with you, and nothing's being done about my property being returned. Supposedly, they told me yesterday, well this is an ongoing investigation and we're not done with it yet." Shields added, "It's totally ruined my personal life and my business life since this whole ordeal started,"
Again, law enforcement agencies are refusing to comment on the two search warrant executions, and seized property since it's on ongoing investigation. For now, all we know is Laine Shields' perspective to this story.
(Our interview with Laine Shields can be heard on our website, here.)

@MISC{Rau10towardscorrectness, author = {Conrad Rau and Manfred Schmidt-schauß and Johann Wolfgang Goethe-universität}, title = {Towards Correctness of Program Transformations Through Unification and Critical Pair Computation}, year = {2010}}
Abstract. Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda-calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach is the combination of a context lemma with the computation of overlaps between program transformations and the reduction rules, which results in so-called complete sets of diagrams. The method is similar to the computation of critical pairs for the completion of term rewriting systems. We explore cases where the computation of these overlaps can be done in a first order way by variants of critical pair computation that use unification algorithms. As a case study of an application we describe a finitary and decidable unification algorithm for the combination of the equational theory of left-commutativity modelling multi-sets, context variables and many-sorted unification. Sets of equations are restricted to be almost linear, i.e. every variable and context variable occurs at most once, where we allow one exception: variables of a sort without ground terms may occur several times. Every context variable must have an argument-sort in the free part of the signature. We also extend the unification algorithm by the treatment of binding-chains in let- and letrec-environments and by context-classes. This results in a unification algorithm that can be applied to all overlaps of normal-order reductions and transformations in an extended lambda calculus with letrec that we use as a case study. 1

Long Weekend Projects
42 Comments
I bought the bi-cast leather rivet chair in dark chocolate from the Global Bazaar collection at Target for 1/2 off & rearranged my living room to fit it!
I bought a bunch of shelf organizers from Ikea since we just moved and cut our kitchen space in half.
I finally made cushions for a danish modern couch frame that I found for 20 bucks at a thrift 4 years ago.
I finally checked out the Apartment Therapy book from the library and have been reading through it. Today, I did a full-out clean of my front room and kitchen, and am about to start on my bedroom/office. I'm already shoving stuff into my outbox, too. Hopefully this week, I can get the property management out to reset my tiles since the thin set under all of them deteriorated into dust (thank goodness for warranty). They're hoping to only have to fix the loose tiles, so I marked them off, but I'm thinking they'll have to reset all of them. Just thinking about it stresses me out, but I'll stress about it until it's done, so it's really time to get a move on!
I searched and found a danish modern easy chair for my boyfriends bedroom. He's been living refugee style in his place - mattress on the floor, stacks of books, hanging bare bulb - and since my house is basically set I'm having a ball helping him grow up :)
Impressive! If you've got pictures, upload em to the flickr pool!
Put in a new soaker tub and laid down the backerboard for the floor to put my pebble tile on (that has been sitting in boxes for a year).
Started to clear out the second bedroom which has been used as a general storage and dumping ground to come up with ideas for organized storage and workspace.
The plan:
Convert 4' wide closet into an office via container store elfa system. Will have to install new electrical outlet, put in a new light fixture and replace bi-fold door with sliding door from Ikea.
Install a ceiling mounted pulley bicycle storage system.
Create a suspended turntable and record storage platform that can be raised and lowered to the ceiling. It can be lowered to counter height and simply wired to an amp that will be on ground level.
Paint the room an obnoxiously loud yellow (Behr Disney).
Down the road...punch through the wall into the hallway to create a rectangular window or a louvered window to bring natural light into the hallway.
Does anyone have a super effective cleaning technique for anodized aluminum?
Has anyone ever tried to put a porthole in a door?
I started and practically finished the "homo sweet homo" design for my manager.
My boyfriend and I have spent two weekends installing a flagstone patio in the backyard. A few more stones and we're ready for a BBQ.
DIY projects really make you appreciate the pros who do it all day long! soreness and blisters oh my!
That is so freaking cool I can't stand it.
Is it hard to learn how to cross stich?
Subversive cross stitch patterns are the easiest ones I've ever done. They are a perfect starting place for a newbie to cross stich.
Didn't have a long weekend, but I was at my parents' and took advantage of the opportunity to use my dad's power tools (and my dad to help...) to start my new bookshelf/printer stand/nightstand project. I bought the fabric for it, too...
those are right up my alley.
they would be great gifts as well! I'm going to start looking out for frames.
The cross stitch patterns look like they will be pretty tiny though, no?
Rescued vintage dollhouse from its likely fate of being redone sweetly Victorian... it is now filling pretty much the only open floor space in the apartment, waiting for its second coat of paint. It'll take at least a month to transform it into a hipster pad, though.
This is a crazy question... but any idea what kind of wood floors those are? We are looking for floors and those are perfect.
i hosted a moped rally and rode through Malibu with almost 200 vintage mopeds. it was amazing.
Everyone else did cool stuff. After a couple of days of play and volunteer work (and sleep!), today was condo day, but it was all cleaning, mostly. I did some extra stuff that I never have time for, like vacuuming out the ceiling vent fan in the bathroom - looked like it hadn't been done in 20 years, I'm surprised the fan worked at all. And, under the fridge - same thing. I washed the kitchen floor - this is by a non-floor washer! Felt good to do these things that I'm always meaning to get to. Unfortunately, I also had to auger out the toilet, but it fixed it. I also raised the float in the toilet - it was easy - and adjusted the handle to be less loose, but it probably needs a new one, which I won't get, since I'm planning to replace this with a Toto.
jenzoe, I don't know what the wood floors were in the old apartment, just that they were really really old and had been sanded within an inch of their lives...good luck!
I've been undergoing a *complete and total* home redesign since November. It started with ordering a Room and
Board couch and snowballed from there. I think the only things I've kept are three antique chests... everything else is in the "for sale" or "discard" pile. This particular weekend has been about window treatments and touching up the wall paint.
I finished removing all of the old dime-store aluminum curtain rods and patching/painting the holes. I was all excited to use a powerdrill to install my brand new rods, and discoverd that I didn't actually need it. Then I hung new linen drapes. I'm now very worried that there is too much drape in the room. I will have to submit pics for opinions.
I also took down all of my art and patched/painted the nail holes. Nothing will be hung back up until the furnishings and texiles are in place.
Do you get more than 8 weeks if you're doing 4 rooms??
what is the best vacuum?
especially for smooth floors and for auxiliary hose vacuuming?
I've been embroidering gifts for next December, mostly tea towels. My patterns and the terrific towels are from Sublime Stitching ..... and I believe I discovered that site through a mention on AT.
I've been reorganizing my closets, I'm finally letting myself part with a number of craft projects that have been lingering unfinished for years.
I redid my fireplace - took off bricks when I discovered that they were just a tile-like facing. It was really fun demolishing it! Then I painted it with Ralph Lauren river rock paint to try to give it a stone like finish. There is still more to do, but I am enjoying the change. (I added it to the Flickr pool for anyone who wants to see it.)
Now I am about to sand and re-stain the coffee table.
I love 3-day weekends!
spent the weekend learning to use design software. my daughter just signed a lease on a 250 square feet studio. definately a design challenge. now we are just waiting for the new ikea to open down by cincinatti.
Let's see...painted the bathroom walls, the bathroom ceiling, and scrubbed the bathroom floor. I would have got more done except I took Saturday to just relax with the cats and watch HGTV for more ideas. ;-)
I'm jealous ... everyone had a three-day weekend, and I didn't!
is there a blogroll of los angeles based design-y bloggers?
I moved this weekend too. Still trying to figure out what to do with the bedroom. Or better yet, what I need to buy for the new bedroom.
I technically wasn't supposed to have a three-day weekend, but I took today off because of this strange allergy-like reaction that decided to wreak havoc on my face. Unfortunately I didn't really get much done this weekend because of it. But I did manage to get to Target and pick up their Hudson desk that was on sale for $99. I may put it together during the week and FINALLY replace the old $20 "workstation."
I've been working hard to coordinate the Davis Feminist Film Festival, which happens February 28th and 29th. It's a really great event that has nothing to do with home decor, but if you're nearby you should come. As soon as it's over, I will be so excited to be home-project-y again. I miss it.
After falling in love with with the kitchen on Showtime's Dexter, I spent the weekend Dexterfying my horrid old kitchen. Cabinets painted glossy white, splashbacks in glossy black, white and gunmetal mosiacs (painstakingly handplaced because I couldn't find the mosiacs I wanted in Perth Western Australia!), white slimline blinds and the best bit? the countertop. I couldn't afford a new one so I used large (600x600) super black polished floor tiles which I've cemented onto the old counter top and finished off with black silicon instead of grout. From vomit beige to sexy dex in 3 days for $600. bloody marvellous!!
I spent the weekend learning to love my new shredder after burning out the old one. I worked my way through about seven years of my old financial records and ten years of my late father's. I'd been putting the last part off because I knew it would make me sad.
I did a major purging of things on my desk and now have a nice tidy space to work in.
I FINALLY got rid of a TON of stuff that I had in storage and was trying to get rid of ... this charity called Hour Children here in NY came and picked it all up (half a room full!) so that being done I started an early spring clean.
I also bought this 44-drawer utility thing at Target and put all my hardware odds-and-ends (everything from nuts and screws to batteries and spare lightbulbs!) in it. It completely streamlined my utility closet.
Next weekend I'll break out the labelmaker and label all those lovely drawers ... (For an organizational nerd like me, it's the greatest thing in the world having a friend who works high up at DYMO) ;-)
Aldyth, I'm envious! I have a ton of papers to sort through and organize/toss, and I hate doing it.
I am sewing covers for a couple of floor cushions. It's getting hard because I have only one side undone, and it's getting REALLY tight. Working on the matching ottoman next.
I also scored a Kartell f/ly lamp secondhand and need to install it. I can't tell which is the ground wire though, so I'm going to ask my super to help. Electricity scares me!
I'm jealous too. I did such a huge paper purge last year that I actually burned out the motor on my Michael Graves shredder. I liked that one (which they don't make anymore) so much, that I haven't had the heart yet to buy a new one.
I rearranged the furniture in & decluttered my bedroom and vacuumed up 6 months worth of dust bunnies (gross). It was very liberating.
I have a giant pile of shredding to do but I hid it in the closet. I'm inspired to get to it.
greengelato---Im actually putting together an LA based blogroll on here. Add more if you know of em!
sleeping eating going out, sleeping eating going out, sleeping eating going out, sleeping eating going out..i had a 4 day weekend YEZ!
oh no i also went to the most beautiful nursery in culver city (rolling greens). the smell, the plants, the flowers. fantastic.
got 4 plants to replace some dead stuff i had around.
it makes sucha difference to have beautiful healthy plants at home.. doesnt it?
Saturday: wedding
Sunday: purchased new Dwell duvet cover/shams.
Monday: enjoyed the 70 degree weather and watched season 1 of 24!
No fair! I didn't get a long weekend. I did make a list 3 pages long of projects I would like to accomplish. I was all motivated until I looked at the mess in my office and ultimately ended up closed the door. I'm not ready to tackle that one.
Can anyone recommend any nice/aesthetically pleasing storage boxes with lids that aren't too expensive? I'm thinking they need to be slightly bigger than a photo box. Thanks!
This weekend is my project weekend. My mother- queen of demolition and all things decorating is coming up to stay. We are painting the walls a beautiful grey/taupe color. It's the 2nd grey I have picked out (first was too white). I am in love with the platinum rug from Crate and Barrel. The wall color seems to go with the rug really well. Fingers crossed it's a winner. Maybe a trip to the fabric store to find drapery material. I found some great pottery barn dual drapery rods on ebay for about half of the original price.
Next weekend I tackle the tv entertainment center. My father is going to help me build a floating unit for the new flat panel- similar to the MASH studio wall mounted storage unit. I am tweaking the design and routing out interior space for sliding glass panels. I think while we are at it I might make new night stands similar to the ones at CB2- sleepy hollow storage shelf. Has anyone worked with bamboo veneer? I have a lot of experience with basswood/balsa wood/mat board but I have never worked with veneer.
Sorry for the long post- work procrastination. Good luck with all of the projects.
My first comment! woo-hoo! I had a whopping four-day weekend and still didn't get as much done as I would have liked. I did empty the bedroom in preparation for its Remedy/Remediation. The ceiling is the 12" fiberboard squares that I hate. I've lain in bed for four years staring at it and hating it. So far, it is washed and primed and I've started filling all the gaps so hopefully once it's sanded and painted I can pretend it's all nice and flat. After that, paint, a new rug and the new quilt that took me two years to find (and I just found something last night I like as much or more) and about 6,000 other things, not to mention clearing out clothes that haven't fit in way too long. I did take before pictures and will post all should I ever get this all done. Wish me luck!

This post describes how to resolve two common issues with running IntelliJ IDEA in the xmonad window manager. You'll make minor changes to xmonad's configuration and will need to run IntelliJ on the JRE packaged with Oracle's JDK 6.
Software Configuration
This solution was tested with the following software:
- Arch Linux
- IntelliJ Ultimate 11.1.2
- Oracle JDK 1.6 Update 33
- xmonad 0.10 with xmonad-contrib
Problems with Default Configuration
The default IntelliJ and xmonad configurations on Arch Linux (and presumeably other Linux distributions) cause two problems that make IntelliJ unuseable:
- The IntelliJ window is displayed as an empty grey box, and when this issue is resolved
- Text boxes do not recieve the cursor focus so you cannot fill in any text box.
Configuring Xmonad
This minimal xmonad configuration will resolve issue with xmonad only painting IntelliJ as a grey box and part of the focus issue.
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Hooks.ICCMFocus
import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName
main = do
xmonad =<< xmobar defaultConfig
{ modMask = mod4Mask
, startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
, logHook = takeTopFocus
Setting the Window Manager Name
Java has a hardcoded list of window manager configurations and XMonad isn't one of them. The solution, as described in the xmonad FAQ, is to lie to Java about what window manager is in use. Add the import statement
import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName to top of your xmonad.hs and the line
startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
to the xmonad configuration section. Recompile the configuration file, restart xmonad and start IntelliJ. You should see IntelliJ paint correctly.
The FAQ's recommended solution to the grey-box issue is to use the OpenJDK and the
_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING environment variable. I did not test this solution because IntelliJ recommends against using the OpenJDK for performance reasons. I did not test this environment variable with Oracle's JDK.
Partially Fixing the Focus Issue
Solving the focus issue begins with making more changes to the xmonad configuration. Add
import XMonad.Hooks.ICCMFocus to the top of your xmonad.hs and
logHook = takeTopFocus
to the xmonad configuration section. The xmonad configuration should recompile correctly, but the focus issue will not be resolved without changes to the JDK that IntelliJ runs under.
Use JDK 6
Once you've configured xmonad you'll need to install Oracle's JDK 6. I already have Oracle's JDK 7 installed as my primary JDK and didn't want to change that so I manually installed JDK 6 to
/opt/java6. Making IntelliJ run under a custom JDK is as simple as setting the
IDEA_JDK environment variable in your .bashrc. This line should work assuming you've installed the JDK 6 to
export IDEA_JDK=/opt/java6
I am not sure why this works with JDK 6 and not JDK 7.
Alternatives to xmonad
Right now I prefer xmonad, but it does take an investment to understand it and get your software to work well in some cases. IntelliJ runs without any headache under xfce4 with JDK 7 (and JDK 6).

Yes this mascara lengthens my lashes and makes them look nice but the mascara flakes off under my eyes and rubs off to the top of my eyelid. I love maybelline mascaras but this is the worse mascara ever.
this is my favorite mascara out of maybelline's. Mine is drying out a bit and it still works amazingly. Makes my lashes long. It doesn't make them thicker but that's how I like it.
I regret buying this mascara!Was definitely not worth one penny of what I paid.The "flexible wand" makes no difference whats so ever, it's useless.Has the same brush or whatever as the pumped up mascara. It comes off within a couple hours. Don't buy!
I got this in the waterproof formula and I love it! It's the only mascara that can hold my curl but it doesn't really give me tons of volume. Either that or I didn't apply enough coats. It's great if you want a natural look!
The formula is nice for a soft, natural look. However, the flexible wand is the WORST. If the flex part were removed, I might buy this mascara again.

I recently had the privilege to interview, Stephen M. R. Covey about his new book Smart Trust. Stephen is on a mission to shed light on how society is breaking down due to a lack of trust. This low trust can be seen everywhere, in the government, in businesses, in the economy, and especially in our personal lives.
In Stephen's new book he quotes Warren Buffet stating, "Trust is like the air that we breathe – when it's present, nobody notices, when it's absent everybody notices."
The reality is everyone is starting to notice something is missing in the world today and Stephen provides solid evidence that what's missing is trust. The good news is he has a solution. The even better news is, WE'RE the ones that have the ability to change everything for the better—simply by using his concept of Smart Trust.
David Bach's Interview with Stephen M. R. Covey Author of Smart Trust by AuthorDavidBach
In this exclusive hour long interview you will learn:
- The meaning behind "Smart Trust"
- The 5 actions that are common in all Smart Trust people
- How Smart Trust plays an pivotal role in your everyday life
- The 3 ways to create trust and influence people
- The 3 states of trust in your life and how you need to balance them
I truly feel that Smart Trust could be a game changer for the 21st century if everyone was to read, digest, and execute the information provided. If you trust me, believe me when I say, you will want to get Smart Trust, it will change the way you think about your everyday life and your interactions with others. Make sure to listen to my exclusive interview with Stephen M.R. Covey if you don't' believe me. Also, don't forget to let me know what you think of the interview, by commenting below!
Live Rich,

2008 Legacy
Benefiting from revisions and enhanced features similar to those in the Outback models, Legacy also has a new flagship model – the Legacy 3.0 R Limited. Model-line changes include revised grille and front sheet metal, new headlights and taillights, and new front and rear bumper fascias. Front and rear overhangs have been reduced, too. These changes provide a sportier and more sophisticated appearance.
The 3.0 R Limited is the first six-cylinder Legacy model for the North American market. It features a paddle-shift transmission with a new "downshift blipping control," which matches engine revs to road speed when shifting to a lower gear. In doing so, it mimics a well-shifted manual transmission. Other special features include a Bilstein Sport Suspension (though not inverted like the 2.5 GT spec.B) and 18-inch wheels and 215/45 R18 Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Highlights of the 2008 Subaru Legacy lineup include:
Bringing the Brand Forward
Building upon Subaru tradition, the changes for 2008 only enhance the award-winning Outback and Legacy models. These refreshed vehicles retain Subaru Core Technology (Boxer engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, four-wheel long-travel independent suspension, and rigid chassis construction) and Subaru Safety Technology.
The 2008 Outback and Legacy models will be available later this year.

The past
The FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup has generally been good to Brazil. The team has qualified for every edition of the tournament, finishing fourth in 2002 and 2004 before coming third in 2006. However, they were not so lucky in 2008, losing 3-2 in the quarter-finals to a German side that went on to finish third, and were knocked out in the the first phase in 2010, losing 1-0 to Korea DPR in their opening game before drawing 1-1 with Sweden. A 4-1 victory over New Zealand in the team's last match was not enough to avoid elimination. Then in the last World Cup, in 2012 in Japan, Brazil were once again eliminated in the first phase, after drawing with Italy and Nigeria and losing to Korea Republic.
The present
Brazil travel to Canada as South American champions for the sixth time. The country's dominance in the region was confirmed with a win over Paraguay in the final, meaning that Brazil have now won every edition of the continental tournament at this level. A penalty from Andressa opened the scoring 35 minutes into the first half after Ludmila was brought down in the area. In the second half, it was Ludmila's turn to score when the striker received the ball from Andressa, dribbled past two defenders and slipped a shot past the keeper. Brazil finished the tournament with six wins and a draw. "We played well in every game and got the results we wanted. We deserved our title and to qualify for the World Cup," said striker Patricia Sochor.
The future
The U-20s has always been a good testing ground for players hoping to earn a place in the senior squad. A recent example is Darlene, who played for the U-20s in 2007, 2009 and 2010, before making her debut for the senior Brazil side against Chile in the Brasilia International Tournament in December 2013.

Push-ups: Simple and easy always works fine. You probably don't need a lesson on push-ups, but there are chances that you are doing them wrong. So here it goes: Lie down with your face facing the ground. Using your hands, push yourself off the ground while keeping your back straight. Start with 10 reps and gradually increase it to 30 by the end of 7 days.

1) China is an exportation leader.
From machinery to toys to apparel to plastics, we import a lot from China. Prior to President Nixon's 1972 visit to the People's Republic of China, the US and China relations had all but deteriorated over the previous two decades. Exports from China in April 2012 were worth 163.3 billion dollars.
2) The Internet is big.
We mean really big. The worldwide web is a network of networks reaching and connecting billions of users across the globe. The internet has revolutionized the way we shop, connect with friends, get our news and share information about yourselves (YouTube videos, anyone?).
3) We're thinking more about the environment.
It used to be you called someone "green" and you meant they were a novice. Now, if you call someone green, chances are they'll wave and thank you as they drive off in their Prius. In the last 40 years we've become more conscious of our carbon footprints and many environmental laws have been passed. We try to recycle, we are more conscious of harmful chemicals in our products and reusable bags are a welcome accessory during any grocery shopping trip.
4) There are a lot of cars in the world.
We mean a lot. It's official, in 2010 the number of vehicles in the world surpassed one billion. The sheer amount of vehicles on the worldwide roads not only create lengthy drive times in southern California and stress issues from trying to find a parking place in almost any downtown, but it heavily impacts the economy and the environment (see #3 above). You may wonder how many vehicle registrations there were worldwide in 1970? 246,378.
5) We watch a lot of television.
It is estimated that there are 1,416,338,245 televisions in the world today. Incidentally, China and the US lead the pack on television owners. Television has certainly come a long way since 1972. When Nixon was visiting China there weren't hundreds of channels, On Demand, DVRs, streaming to computers and smartphones or HD. We have so many choices that there are even television shows like The Soup summing up the week in television shows. Just for kicks: the top-rated US primetime network show in 1972 was All in the Family. Currently? It's America's Got Talent.

RN to BSN Curriculum
Program Information
General Studies (9hrs)
These are the additional 9 hours required to meet SMWC Woods Core requirements. Only one 400 level WC course is required.
TH 200 is a study of religion and spirituality and their relationship to social justice, women's issues and environmental sustainability. The course introduces students to the nature of religion and spirituality and examines how they can generate and support a vision of life focused on service and a commitment to social justice. The vision and ministries of the Sisters of Providence will be taken as examples and illustrations of a service-oriented lifestyle that is grounded in spirituality and religion.
WC 100 uses the concept of utopias, and how they have influenced societies, education and the world, to introduce students to the concept of the SMWC community and its particular values and ideas. Includes emphases on critical thinking and writing, as well as information literacy. Serves as a foundation to help students identify their individual goals and values.
The WC 401 Social Justice course is an optional course within the Woods Core that meets general education requirements. The course examines social justice issues that have impacted present and recent social conditions worldwide. While the course will provide grounding for social justice topics in associated areas in the social sciences, including sociology, business and economics, it will primarily focus on social justice movements in the light of spirituality, specifically how individual spirituality has impacted social justice movements. Spiritual roots of social movements in major faith traditions will be explored. In this context the course will also introduce students to some of the methods used by leaders of impactful social justice movements. Finally, the effects of advances in information and media technology on social movements will also be studied.
This course will introduce participants to the goals, principles and practical applications of sustainability. Many organizations, companies and institutions are increasingly interested in conducting their activities while becoming more sensitive to environmental, social and other concerns over a longer-term future. Sustainability has many definitions, and includes environmental, social and economic dimensions. In this course, we will examine the major environmental issues and trends happening in modern society from a scientific and practical perspective, including energy and resource use, pollution, climate change, water and population. Five major themes in sustainability will be discussed: sustainability and the link to the Sisters of Providence, conservation, food sustainability, social justice, and financial sustainability.
An integrative view of women worldwide who have taken on leadership roles in their communities and initiated cultural changes. Students will examine transformative models of leadership that have addressed critical issues around the world. An introduction to international cultural norms and their influences on the struggles that women often face within their own countries and communities. A Vision for Change project is a required component of this course.

Have we seen the last of Jackson on Teen Wolf? Reports are circling that Colton Haynes, the actor who plays the role on the hit MTV series, has exited the show and will not be returning for Season 3.
According to E!, sources say that Haynes' rumored exit is due to contract negotiation problems for the upcoming season. One source implies that Haynes had a ""lucrative"" offer to come back for two more seasons (a total of 48 episodes) but his team sat on the offer for two months. Another source, however, says Haynes was only offered to appear in 12 of Season 3's 24 episodes.
Feeding into the rumor mill, Haynes tweeted a very suspicious message Thursday: ""These past few yrs have been the best of my life,"" he wrote. ""I'm sad that this chapter has ended, but excited for a new one to begin. Thx for the love""
The network denied the rumors to Entertainment Weekly, saying, there is ""absolutely no truth that Colton is being pushed out or that he, or any cast member, is being replaced. We love Colton and look forward to his returning with the entire cast for season 3 of Teen Wolf."
Fans how are you feeling about Haynes' possible exit?

Any potential thaw in U.S.-Iran relations is unlikely to relax long-standing economic sanctions that have hobbled the latter's commercial and defense aviation sectors for decades. Most recently, United Nations' Resolution 1696, in force since 2006 and in response to Iran's nuclear ambitions, has limited Iran's ability to obtain approved spare and replacement aircraft components and to conduct international financial transactions.
Politics of Iran
Western aerospace executives may be wary about attending the Iran airshow, but will be missing out on a great future business opportunity if they don't go, according to the event's organizers. The show is scheduled from November 28 to December 1 at the Kish Island Free Trade Zone–located close to Dubai and one of the main trading links between Iran and its neighbors in the Gulf.
Over the last four years, U.S. agencies have opened 17 major cases involving illegal shipments of defense technology to Iran– two more than the 15 cases involving illegal shipments to China in the same time frame. And in the last six years there have been more than 800 investigations of illegal exports to Iran.
An Iranian-military Falcon 20 crashed after making a forced landing on a road in Orumiyeh, Iran, last month, killing all 11 aboard, including high-ranking officials in Iran's revolutionary guard corps. A spokesman for the revolutionary guard blamed bad weather and engine failure for the accident. One report said the aircraft ran out of fuel as the crew was troubleshooting a problem.

text: Innes at Tillys.com!Innes story...Innes was founded in 1996 by brothers Matt and Chris Hensley....Innes is the Scottish clan name of Matt and Chris's late mother. The Innes clan dates back to 1160 AD and they played their full part in the tumultuous and bloody history of Scotland. The clan motto is "be traist" or "be faithful." This simple message can be both an inspiration in everyday life, and a reminder of the ancestry and history behind every Innes clan member.The Innes logo is a swallow. The swallow is a noble bird, with a rich history. It is a symbol of honor, faith, love, and hope. To sailors in olden days, it represented everything from luck to loyalty. It served as a reminder of family, friendship and honor.The swallow is also a symbol for returning home safely. Swallows cannot fly very far from land and so when a sailor at sea spotted a swallow he knew that land was near and he was close to home.Possessing a swallow tattoo used to be a sign of status among sailors. The meaning behind it was that swallows protected the sailors from harm on their journeys. It was a great comfort, as well as a status symbol to sailors out at sea.According to legend, after sailing for at least five thousand miles, a sailor could get a swallow tattoo symbol put on his chest, to mark the occasion. Sailors with two swallow tattoo symbols on their chests, instead of one, were especially sought after. It meant that they had weathered many storms and gotten through many challenges.The Innes brand represents an attitude that has always been inspired by it's roots in music and the skateboarding lifestyle. All the collections focus on timeless silhouettes as well as some more daring contemporary themes. Our objective is to provide the world with creative and authentic lifestyle/streetwear.The above information was taken from the Innes website.

Sit in style and comfort with the Flash Furniture Hercules Series office chair. Adjustable at several points to meet the needs of individual workers, the chair supports up to 400 pounds over the course of an eight-hour workday. The black, powder-coat finish fits most office decor, making this a versatile furniture selection.
Adjustable Seat Height
The right seat height is crucial to ergonomic working conditions—the wrong typing or working angle results in back, shoulder, and neck pain and can lead to carpel tunnel issues. The Flash Furniture Hercules Series office chair lets workers adjust seat height to maintain a comfortable position. Workers can also adjust seat tilt and arm placement for optimal performance.
Heavy-Duty Base
The chair features a heavy-duty base that supports weight and keeps things safe. The sturdy chair is unlikely to topple over just because a worker reached into drawer or across a workspace, and the carpet casters make it easier to access tables and supply shelves near the desk.
Comfortable Padded Seat
Five inches of padding create a posh seat on the Flash Furniture Hercules Series office chair. Workers appreciate companies who think of the small things, and if you're buying this chair for yourself, you'll be glad you thought of it as well.

The United States Geological Survey predicts a 67% chance another large earthquake will strike San Francisco in the next 25 years. We must secure soft story apartment buildings, some of our City's most vulnerable structures, to make San Franciscans safer and our City resilient. To that end, the City has signed into law a program for the mandatory retrofit for all wood frame buildings permitted for construction prior to January 1, 1978 with two or more stories over a soft or weak story that contain five or more dwelling units.
The first step in this process is the notice and screening form. These notices were sent out to all building owners on September 15, 2013. All property owners or their authorized agent must have a licensed architect or engineer complete the screening form, allowing the owner and the City to see if their building is within the program and required to retrofit. Buildings with previous work done under the AB-094 voluntary retrofit program or strengthening done to the level the ordinance requires will not be required to perform additional upgrades. Building owners must then select an appropriate compliance tier, which sets deadlines for permit applications and completion of work based on occupancy, size, and other factors.
After the screening form is submitted and accepted by DBI, the owner must--within the appropriate timeframe--be in the process of obtaining a permit and completing the work. This program, though requiring work, presents an opportunity to offer safer housing to residents, a more secure future to San Francisco, and the added value of protection of your critical asset. Thank you for your cooperation in working with the City on this critical effort.
This program is part of the City's Earthquake Safety Implementation Program (ESIP), a thirty-year plan to reduce the impact earthquakes will have on San Francisco. The program's soft story program website, including information about financing, soft story buildings, and other programs, can be found here.
Please Contact Us
(415) 558-6699 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Earthquake Safety Implementation Program
6. Resources
Also, for more information please check out the Ordinance and Informational Brochure (Chinese) (Spanish).
All San Francisco buildings that are wood-framed, permitted for construction prior to 1978, contain five or more residential dwelling units and are three or more stories or two stories over a basement or underfloor area that have any portion extending above grade, and have not yet been seismically strengthened have been noticed as part of this program and will be required to complete and return a screening form. These buildings are not necessarily seismically unsafe, but rather fit the scope and criteria of buildings known to have weaknesses that the Soft Story Retrofit Ordinance wishes to address. This screening process will determine a building's status within this program.
The list below of buildings are ones the City believes, to the best of our knowledge, to be within the scope of the Mandatory Seismic Retrofit Ordinance. These are not necessarily unsafe buildings, but rather buildings that need to be screened to ascertain if they are within this program or not. Buildings that are within the program will be required to retrofit and their status within that process will be noted in this database. The owners of these addresses may engage an architect, or an engineer, and have them complete the appropriate form to prove that this property should be exempt from the new ordinance. As DBI receives these completed forms, signed by the architect or engineer, with appropriate license number and/or engineering seal, the address may be removed by DBI from this soft-story building inventory, and this list will be updated accordingly.
Soft Story Noticing Pool (Excel)
You may submit your completed form via email as a PDF attachment to email@example.com or as a hard copy by U.S. mail to Soft Story Program, 1660 Mission Street - 2nd Floor,San Francisco CA 94103. The Department does not allow submittal by fax.
Screening Forms must all be submitted by September 15, 2014.
Please be sure your screening form is, if required, completed by a licensed design professional, as well as stamped and signed.
Submit all three pages of the form, even if some sections are not required. Keep a copy for your records
AB-094: which set criteria for voluntary retrofits, went into effect on May 26, 2009. If you completed a retrofit in compliance with AB-094 prior to June 18, 2013, then you are in compliance with the requirements of this ordinance. Please follow instructions on screening form.
Other Retrofits: SFBC Section 3402B Exception 1 exempts retrofits completed within the last 15 years if they satisfied the requirements now found in SFBC Section 1604.11. However, because this exemption will likely require more careful review of various documents (plans, calculations, etc.), owners seeking this exemption must submit documentation together with the separate Optional Evaluation Form. Please fill out all sections of the Screening Form and submit.
To obtain a permit, two sets of plans are required to be prepared by a licensed architect, civil or structural engineer. Drawings shall be a minimum size of 11"x17" with all character height to be a minimum of ?". Each page of plans are required to be wet signed and stamped by the design professional of record and the submittal documents should also include two sets of structural calculations with the cover pages wet signed and stamped. The permit applicant should also complete the submittal requirement checklist included in SFBC AB-106.
To start the permit application process, start at the first floor information counter and complete an application form. Once the form is complete the first floor counter staff will check your application for completeness and if the property has any outstanding complaints or violations. After this step you will be directed to the Over-The-Counter (OTC) intake staff located on the 5th floor. The permit technician will review your plans for the minimum completeness standards and establish the required routing stations based on the proposed scope of work.
While not required, the Department strongly encourages the design professional to be present during this process. This will greatly assist the structural plan reviewer to address any questions or concerns with the design.
Tier I - Any building containing educational, assembly, or residential care facility uses (Building Code Occupancy E, A, R2.1, R3.1, or R4).
Tier II - Any building containing 15 or more dwelling units
Tier III - Any building not falling within another tier
Tier IV - Any building containing ground floor commercial uses (Building Code Occupancy B or M), or any building in a mapped liquefaction zone. For information about liquefaction please visit the CAPSS ESIP website.
The Earthquake Safety Implementation Program (ESIP) has worked with Code for America to develop an application to assist property owners and tenants to determine if their building is within a mapped liquefaction hazard zone. Please visit www.sfcapss.org/softstory to use this application.
There are several options for design professionals to use to meet the requirements of the ordinance. The options are:
FEMA P-807, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Multi-Unit Wood-Frame Buildings With Weak First Stories, as detailed in an Administrative Bulletin to be prepared pursuant to 3406B.3 of this ordinance, with the performance objective of 50 percent maximum probability of exceedance of Onset of Strength Loss drift limits with a spectral demand equal to 0.50 SMS, or
ASCE 41-13, Seismic Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, with the performance objective of Structural Life Safety in the BSE-1E earthquake, or
ASCE 41-06, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, with the performance objective of Structural Life Safety in the BSE-1 earthquake with earthquake loads multiplied by 75 percent, or
For evaluation only, ASCE 31-03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings, with the performance level of Life Safety, or
For retrofit only, 2012 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) Appendix A-4, or
Any other rational design basis deemed acceptable by the Department that meets or exceeds the intent of the above standards.
The City is legally unable to recommend engineers and contractors at this time, however there are resources available, listed here:
SEAONC also maintains a page that explains the value of hiring an engineer and how to hire an engineer.

Egypt president vows to stand by Gaza
Egypt's Islamist president says his country will stand by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and demanded Israel stop its latest offensive on the Hamas-ruled territory.
Mohammed Morsi says Egypt "will not leave Gaza on its own" and warned the "aggressor to stop the bloodshed or face the wrath" of Egypt's new leadership and institutions.
Morsi spoke on Friday at a mosque near his house on the outskirts of Cairo. The sermon was his harshest condemnation yet of the Israeli offensive.
Morsi said he dispatched his prime minister to Gaza to send a clear message that Egypt supports the people there and will not tolerate the killing of civilians.
Hamas is an offshoot of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group in Egypt. The Brotherhood led protests across the country on Friday against Israel.
