I liked the location, the room, parking lot facility, swimming pool and restaurants/deli nearby.
The fact that you had to pay to use the gym. The fact that there was no breakfast included and you had to go to a restaurant nearby to get it (at a very high price). I also didnt like some of the staff... the guy at the pool bar did not feel like working and everytime you ordered something, he gave us a very bad look and did not reply well.
The hotel was excellent! The view from our porch was beautiful, the rooms were clean and the beds were comfy. All of the staff was as nice and could be. We loved the pools and the restaurants on site were great!

Timeshare people pressuring you to buy.
1. Comfortable rooms. 2.The granddaughters loved the Murphy beds! 3.Picturesque view of the Bay and airplane take-off 4. Kiddies' pool 5. Well-kept grounds 6. Loved the ambience of the roof garden. Disappointed though that it came at a price. 7. Very helpful and friendly staff at the reception desk, and generally.
Not close enough proximity to the beach.
fabulous view from balcony, spacious room, comfortable beds, free guarded parking lot, friendly staff, good "Stone" restaurant on the resort site, fast ferry was departing from resort's marina to St.Barts and Philipsburg
full payment was taken from my card just after booking, nothing else to complain,
Location, ease of transport to and from resort, amenities, the view!
Concierge staff wasn't always that helpful or eager to do the leg work to help guests arrange activities
The staff was unbelievably responsive. The location is very convenient to everything. A lot to do and many restaurants to pick from. Pool, tennis courts and Beach were excellent and the villa was very roomy and comfortable.
There was an issue with cock roaches which became a little unnerving. I would stay here again only if I was guaranteed that this was taken care of.

asked for wake up call for an early flight got no call. safe and clock were unusable. No real beach by the hotel.
Friendly staff and good security
A little more on the resort activities during the day
all hotel place and clean area
the staff
We chose the hotel as it is close to the airport - we had spent the previous time in the area on a catamaran
It was quiet and relaxing. The view was breathtaking (and I live in the caribbean) The service was good. Can't complain.
Nothing much to dislike
View was nice. Room was clean and up to date.
Staff doesn't know that the customers are paying their salaries. Keeps you waiting for no good reason at all at the front desk. The front desk officers probably need training.
I loved the resort itself and location. Rooms were roomy and clean.
The staff at the front desk. One in particular was very rude, unfortunately forgot his name or I would include it also. He did not care much for the clients and made rude remarks, a bad grape in a great staff.
Location and proximity to other amenities. Rooms were spacious and clean.
Staff could be smiling a bit more, bit more pleasant, at front desk and in other areas. Check in time is very late and check out time is disproportionately early as well. At least one laundry should be included in the value of every two days of stay at the hotel. Likewise, at least two free local phone calls should be included per day. Had to wait 8 minutes to process a charge for one phone call (60 cents) and obtain change??
Excellent service and very nice rooms.
The air conditioning and refrigerator switch on and off throughout the night and are somewhat noisy.
Well appointed rooms with ocean views. Pull out bed was very comfortable. Kitchen facilities are great. Nice pool and access to the sea from a jetty. Free Wi-Fi is always a bonus.
Balcony looking out to sea. Spacious apartment. Big fridge. Quiet at night. Security on the perimeter.
When busy at the pool, it gets difficult to find a sun bed. No catering, e.g. You have to go and hunt for breakfast around the streets.
Location was great, and the room was beautiful. The view from the balcony overlooking the bay was gorgeous.
Beautiful resort with great amenities. The staff were very helpful and did their best to make our stay comfortable. I stayed in a one-bedroom ocean view suite along with my wife and grown son. The room was spacious with a fully equipped kitchen, separate bedroom with a king size bed, and two drop down twin beds which cleverly store into the entertainment console. I stayed for nine nights during which there was daily housekeeping service. The balcony was huge with awesome views of the beautiful pool below, the bay, and lush mountains beyond. Absolutely gorgeous!! My family and I like to workout in the gym every day and the fitness room at Simpson Bay is just fabulous. The equipment was state of the art, really clean, and in great working order. There are floor to ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the bay and marina while you are sweating away! I would highly recommend the Simpson Bay Resort and will definitely stay there if I find myself in St. Maarten again
There was a considerable amount of loud music playing late into the night from the bar/restaurant below on the beach. This happened for about 4 of the 9 nights of my stay. It got a bit annoying, especially since I'm not a night owl and am an early riser.
Variety of restaurants within the "community". Especially the stones restaurant!!! Proximity to the airport was wonderful...a shuttle to the airport would have been nice. Surprised that isn't offered.
Balcony overlooking the bay was hardly big enough to hold the two chairs, two ottomans and small table and to be able to walk among them to sit on them. They should have made them a bit bigger. Expect to smell your neighbors smoking out there. Would have appreciated a map of the entire complex...stores, etc. difficult to find on our own.
The view was awesome!!! Impressed on the cleaness!!!! Staff was very polite and helpful1!!
Should of been a special line for check out in morning!!! Disorganinzed because there was a group of people checking in and out , a lot of confusion and people upset. Should be more informed and prepare for check out and check in special day of when groups come in!!!
Beautiful property. Ideal location.
I thought the rooms were larger being called "The Villas".
This hotel is well located with beautiful views of the Caribbean sea. The apartments are spacious, clean and well equipped. I recommend this hotel.

Hey there, I am worried sick!
On December 29th 2012 I had unprotected sex. The day after I took a morning after pill just in case.. I had sex again a week after on January 5th 2013, unprotected but didn't take any pill because I know they are bad.
I was supposed to get my period around the 8th but I didnt. Instead I have had irregular strange bleeding (brownish). I had that for around three days, from the 7th to the 9th. Then yesterday and today I've just had blood drops but nothing that seems to look like my normal menstrual cycle. I have also had a wierd 'sting' feeling down there that is very uncomfortable.
Just to add on a little, my partner did not ejaculate inside of me at all.
What could be happening? Could it just be side effects to the P.P.M.S Ultra morning after pill I took?

When you take the Nordica Patron Ski all over the backside and feel how it floats through deep snow, motors over crud, and snakes through trees, you'll be an addict instantly. The Patron has a high rockered tip and tail for pow-slashing and traditional camber underfoot, sandwich construction, and a 113-millimeter waist for quick and powerful turns. The wood and fiberglass core give it a stable and smooth ride when running out a steep face or skinny chute. Perhaps the most versatile of Nordica's Freeski boards, this all-mountain ski will have you hooked but never hungover.

I have skied the Nordica Patron all season with 30+ days and it is awesome! This ski does it all, it can tear up the groomers when need be, of piste it is incredible. Menuvers quick through trees and is easy to turn, when you need to bust the crud it will preform like a champ. I am a big guy that skis aggressive and fast and this ski can handle anything I throw at it. The way the tip is shaped it cuts any chatter at high speeds. This is one of the best all mountain skis on the market. It is not made for the jib park but can handle the largest of jumps, this is a big mountain ski that needs to be skied hard. The floatation over powder is amazing, the 193 is perfect size for me at 6'1". I would recommend this ski to those who are big mountain skiers who need a all mountain ski.

Corn, 10-12" powder and firm; skied all this over the last week and loved every minute on my 193s. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs. and have been skiing on K2 obSETHeds for the last three seasons.
While the K2s did a lot of things well, float was not one of them.
The Patrons do float well, initiate a turn with ease and carve well....and are responsive to input. Only negative is they will wander when straight-lining if you don't keep them "tipped" or on a slight edge. The tip is floppy on firm, but that is just a side affect of the long rocker.
In slush or crud it skis like a GS board. And as far as ease of skiing goes, I just logged 136K vertical feet in 7 days and I'm 59 y.o. My new daily driver has arrived.
Not my favorite, but has its plus sides.

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I had this ski in a 193, and did not enjoy it as much as other have. Before I talk about the bad stuff, I must say this ski carved groomers very well for a 113 under foot ski. It had a slightly damp yet energetic feel on groomers, but did not translate as well off piste. I may have sized it wrong for what my intentions were though, to be honest. Its a playful ski that's somewhat damp, and is better to size down for jibbing, because sizing up for a charger doesn't really work out well.
This ski was mediocre across the board. Too floppy to charge, and too heavy to play around on the 193. I have the old Moment Bibby Pro in 190, and it's a very similar ski that performs better everywhere except groomers. The patron was rather heavy as well, even for a big ski, and it made you aware. I cant recall any times off piste where I really felt this ski performed well as other one ski quivers, but thats just me.
Giving it three stars, because some people really like this ski. Also, Nordica makes some top-notch, race stock, burly and durable skis that last a long time. This shape however does work well, and the helldorado is a much better ski for someone my weight. Someone light may really enjoy the patron in their appropriate size.

Coach's Column with Andy Applegate: Training Changes for the 40-Year-Old Mountain Biker
Question: "How should my training change now that I am an older
athlete and in my early 40s. Should I concentrate on doing less base miles and
more intensity in my workouts? Do I need more time for recovery?"
Answer: Excellent question, and while you need to keep in mind that there
is not a particular age where you "fall off a cliff� with your fitness, after
the age of somewhere between 35 and 40 years most athletes start to notice a
difference in their response to training and an increased need for recovery.
The exact training an older rider should undertake is primarily dependent on
goals, but let�s talk about some general guidelines.
A few things
to keep in mind: First, after about the age of 40 we start to see a decline in
VO2max. You might also notice that the maximum HR you see during very intense
efforts is lower, and over the years you might notice that it is more difficult
to hold onto strength gains and muscle mass. These are all inevitable symptoms
of aging, and while these things happen very gradually over years, it can be
frustrating. The good news is that you can combat these declines with smart
training. To help counteract the decline in VO2max, add more short, intense
training sessions to your program. Efforts of 1 to 3 minutes with a 1:1 work to
recovery ratio work wonders to hone anaerobic fitness. Also, doing work that
will help elevate your lactate threshold will make you stronger at any age.
Longer efforts of 5 to 20 minutes at or just below lactate threshold will do
the trick here.
Depending on
the amount of time you have available, you may want to add some off bike
strength work to your program. In general I don�t believe strength training
should necessarily take the place of bike work, but if you have the time to add
some in it can really help stave off loss of strength and muscle mass.
Keep in mind that you don�t need any fancy equipment or an expensive gym
membership to get an excellent strength workout. Functional, body weight
exercises can be very effective and even 30 minutes two to three times per week
might be enough to make a big difference.
recovery is one of the first things I noticed for myself after about the age of
40. I found that one easy day after a hard race weekend was no longer enough
recovery before getting back to hard workouts. Give your body what it needs and
build in a little extra recovery between hard sessions or races. Instead of 3
or 4 hard or long sessions per week, cut back by one and add an extra easy day.
This will not only allow for that needed recovery, but most likely will allow
the hard workouts to be higher quality sessions. Don�t be afraid to experiment
a little with back to back hard workouts followed by 2 easy days. Some older
riders also benefit from more frequent recovery weeks. For example if you
normally do 3 hard weeks followed by a recovery week, consider doing 2 hard
weeks followed by a 5 day recovery block instead. There is no magic schedule
trick for everyone, try some different things and see what works best for you.
I certainly
don�t want to tell you to ride "less�, rather, I think my advice would be to
really focus on quality intensity during some of your ride sessions while
monitoring and allowing more recovery if needed. These days we are seeing older
athletes produce some amazing performances. Listen to what your body is asking
for and incorporate some of the ideas above and you could be one of those

(AUGUSTA, Ga) — Peter Hanson birdied four of the last five holes to shoot a tournament low 7-under 65 to take the overall lead at 9-under, after the third day at Augusta National.
"I actually go the round going on the second hole," Hanson said. "I hit a nice drive and a three wood to the middle of the green, two putted for birdie and then kind of eased into the round. From there I was just trying to do the boring stuff. Tried to hit every shot. Just put it in play off the tee, hit greens and give myself some good chances. It was just one of those rounds that turned into a great round."
While Hanson had a fantastic round, Phil Mickelson's round was almost as good. Lefty shot a 6-under 66 and is one stroke back of Hanson for the tournament.
"I just feel real confident in the way I've been playing, the way I've been putting, and in this setting and on this golf course," Mickelson said.
Tiger Woods shot even-par 72 and is 12 shots off the lead.
Mickelson and Hanson will play in the final pairing Sunday. The bad news for Hanson is, the last three times Mickelson has been in the final pairing at Augusta, Phil has won.

ALBANY, N.Y. - The New York State Assembly advanced a measure to legalize medical marijuana Monday.
The Compassionate Care Act would allow medical use of marijuana under a doctor's supervision and create one of the nation's most tightly regulated programs.
"It is well documented that medicinal marijuana can be an effective treatment for seriously ill patients when other medications have failed," Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said. "It is unacceptable that we continue to criminalize those who would benefit from the use of medicinal marijuana. This legislation creates a carefully controlled system that would give health care practitioners more options to treat their patients and provide seriously ill New Yorkers with the relief that they need."
The Compassionate Care Act would allow medical use of marijuana for patients with cancer or who are suffering from other severely debilitating or life-threatening conditions. The bill would allow a licensed practitioner to certify that a patient has a serious condition (under statutory criteria) for which they are likely to receive palliative or therapeutic benefit from treatment with the medical use of marijuana; permit a certified patient or designated caregiver who is registered with the state Department of Health to possess up to two and one half ounces of marijuana; authorize the DOH to license and regulate "registered organizations and producers" to dispense medical marijuana for certified patients; and require DOH to issue registry identification cards to certified patients and designated caregivers.
"New Yorkers living with cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses have waited long enough," New York State Director of the Drug Policy Alliance Gabriel Sayegh said. "This is a simple matter of compassion. This is the fourth time the State Assembly has passed a medical marijuana bill. Now it's long past time for the State Senate to act. The science is clear. The moral and ethical needs are obvious. The only thing holding this up is the Senate. Listen to the science, to healthcare practitioners and to the vast majority of New Yorkers who support this proposal. It's time for the Senate to pass the Compassionate Care Act."
"When it's your child who can't help himself and is literally withering away in pain, you'd do anything to take that pain away," said Geri Barish of Long Island, a cancer survivor whose son used medical marijuana before succumbing to cancer. "When people are suffering, we can at least give them their dignity."

New Leadership Structure at Friends of the High Line
New Leadership Structure at Friends of the High Line
We wanted you to know about an exciting change in the leadership structure at Friends of the High Line.
Twelve years ago, Joshua David and Robert Hammond founded Friends of the High Line with the goal of saving the High Line from demolition. After years of planning, design, and construction, the High Line south of West 30th Street is now open to the public. As the non-profit conservancy for the High Line, we now have new responsibilities and an expanded staff dedicated to maintaining and operating the park for the more than two million visitors it welcomes each year. A new leadership role is required to manage the day-to-day operations of the organization while Joshua and Robert dedicate their focus to our advocacy, planning, fundraising, and other strategic initiatives, including the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards and our High Line Food program.
To this end, Melissa Fisher, our current Director of Horticulture & Park Operations, will be taking on the expanded role of Chief Operating Officer, effective October 15. In this position, Melissa will report to Robert, with all other staff at Friends of the High Line reporting to her. Her primary focus will be optimizing our delivery of multiple projects and initiatives, while ensuring the ongoing collaboration of our staff.
Back in 2009, as we prepared to open the first section of the park, Friends of the High Line took responsibility for maintaining and operating the High Line, but the entire Horticulture, Maintenance, and Park Operations staff at the organization did not yet exist. Almost overnight we doubled our staff, procured our park operations equipment, opened a field office, and greatly expanded our responsibilities to care for this extraordinary public space. To hire and build this team, Melissa worked with former Vice President of Horticulture & Park Operations Patrick Cullina, who left the organization earlier this year. During her time at Friends of the High Line, she has demonstrated exemplary leadership and management skills. There could be no better person to take on this new role than Melissa.
We are now beginning the search for a Vice President of Park Operations to replace the role Melissa currently fills.
In other exciting news, Rick Little will be promoted to Vice President of Administration & Strategic Projects. Tara Morris will be promoted from her current position as Director of Development to Vice President of Development. In these new positions, Rick and Tara will continue to play integral roles in the leadership of Friends of the High Line. Peter Mullan will remain in his leadership position as Vice President for Planning & Design.

Welcome to week 2 of a 10-day series sponsored by Prufrock Press and iHomeschool Network. 40 bloggers, more than 350 posts, and some great giveaways {including my newest book!} in the "Pin to Win" contest, all over the course of two weeks.
Wow! Day TEN is here. I can't believe that this is the last post of the series. It's been a lot of fun connecting with other parents who are in the trenches homeschooling their gifted kids throughout the last two weeks, and I appreciate the conversations. I hope we can keep some of it going in the weeks and months to come. As someone recently said to me, it can really be isolating – homeschooling in general – when you throw in a challenging child, it makes it even tougher to connect.
If you're just joining me for the series, you may want to check back in from the beginning, when I talked about giftedness and kids with twice exceptionalities. I also shared why I think you should homeschool your gifted, unique, and asynchronous learners. And how following their interests, talents, and being really flexible when parenting and teaching gifted children can help you determine the best strategies and methods to use.
Today I want to talk a little about the "socialization question." As homeschoolers, with any type of child, it's still one of the most common questions asked – "How do you give your kids enough socialization?" {Or some variation of the same…} For a new homeschooler, or someone who doesn't homeschool and has no experience with it, it's a question that they're truly worried about.
Once you've homeschooled for any length of time, you realize that the concern is groundless. In fact, you'll sometimes wonder how you'll ever find the time to sit still enough to get school done! For example, I'm writing this post after a very busy day. Molly practiced her reading and watched Leap Frog Phonics videos in the car, while Trevor did 2 math lessons on the computer when he first woke, and then completed his other work in the car, too. We started with a gymnastics class, then headed out to meet a friend to pick out pumpkins and get apples to make sauce this weekend, and finally took the hour and a half {from the orchard} drive out to visit with Brian's dad.
The kids interacted with children of various ages in their homeschool gymnastics class, enjoyed a lively conversation with both our friend Mary and the lovely woman at the farm shop. While the girls played in the fallen leaves, Trevor followed the farmer on his tractor into the barn to chat about farm equipment. Finally, Trevor's hanging out watching World War II DVDs with his grandpa tonight, and will be helping the "train guys" who come over to Grandpa's every Friday morning to build model train in the basement and stay chatting until lunch.
In what other educational venue can a child spend the day with age peers, siblings, extended family, friends of all ages, and workers willing to mentor him briefly?
The socialization question can be damaging and/or hindering to any homeschooler, but especially to those parenting gifted children. Gifted children have different social and emotional needs than typical kids. Oftentimes, their strengths contribute to real {yet frustratingly difficult to deal with} problems.
A gifted child who:
- is very inquisitive may ask embarrassing questions or be overly excessive in their interests.
- learns or picks up information quickly might be impatient with others, rude, or rebel against routine.
- likes to organize things or people often comes up with complicated, circular rules, and is seen as bossy.
- has a large, advanced vocabulary may use words to manipulate people or situations.
- has acquired a depth and breadth of knowledge advanced for his age might become easily bored by age-peers.
- has intense concentration when he is interested in something of his own choosing {perseveration} will forget about chores, school, hygiene, etc. and will be stubborn and resistant when interrupted.
- very empathetic or sensitive often is devastated by peer criticism or rejection. This can cause anxiety, depression, and other serious psychological issues.
- has high energy, alertness, or eagerness {parents of gifted children often note that their kids sleep very little or have trouble "shutting down"} are seen as hyperactive.
- is interested in many diverse subjects and hobbies often appear disorganized and become frustrated with the lack of time to pursue all their various interests.
Gifted kids:
- struggle with asynchrony which can lead to intense emotional outbursts when their motor skills don't match up to their creativity {i.e. they "see" in their mind what they want to create, but lack the motor skills to make it happen}.
- foster resentment in peers, often losing friends, when they try to organize complex games and play.
- are extremely self-critical, knowing the ideal they want to achieve, but experience a "falling short" because of their age or ability.
- can be perfectionists that hold themselves back because they have an unrealistic view of what is actually achievable.
- sometimes become underachievers because they seek to avoid the possible failures that they know are common when taking risks.
- prompt discomfort in others, particularly adults, because they challenge roles, traditions, and expectations.
- have a tough time finding peers and retreat into books or imaginative play.
So how do we find appropriate socialization opportunities for our gifted kids? The truth is that we need to think carefully about the emotional needs of our kids, and not just thrust them into traditional social situations just because we're afraid they'll "miss out" by not being in school. Sometimes gifted kids just struggle too much in traditional peer groups.
Trevor, for example, like many gifted kids I've worked with and known, has trouble playing and working well for long periods of time with kids his own age. There are a few exceptions, but usually the kids his age that he gets along with well have quirks of their own or are very similar to him. He does much better with older children or adults, with whom he can have in-depth conversations, or much younger kids that he can organize, mentor, and direct into play.
Continue with your efforts to get your child involved in homeschooling or interest-based groups, but don't overlook non-traditional sources for socialization, too. Find your engineering son an adult mentor who can help him draw up blue prints, build scale models, and analyze a design's viability. Get your daughter involved in service activities where she can work with older or younger people, sharing her skills and interests. Invite a friend over to teach your son how to knit. They'll have wonderful one-on-one conversations with each other. Take advantage of skills in the family. My father-in-law loves American history, especially the wars, and Trevor adores him. They're getting together a few times a month to watch old movies and documentaries and to talk about history. I'm honestly not sure who looks forward to it more.
Even more importantly, though, than finding these opportunities for your child, is finding support for yourself. Parenting intense, bright, and emotionally difficult children can be isolating. Friends and family don't "get" your kids. Honestly, sometimes you don't either and can't blame them, but it's hard to feel like you're always apologizing.
Seek out parents who understand. They've been there. They have challenging kids of their own—kids whose challenges are completely our of the realm or "typical challenges." The best support, obviously, is in person. Someone with whom you can escape periodically for coffee and commiseration. In the absence of local support, though, seek other parents out online. Blogs and Facebook communities, listservs, and websites all can help.
And know this, no matter your personal religious convictions, I'm praying for you. Each one of you who has read or reread a post in this series, shared it, or commented in some way has meant a lot to me as I seek out my own support in parenting and homeschooling a gifted kid. I'm praying for you. I know how hard it is not to put your tough kid on the bus or ask someone to take him or her for a few days so you can have a break. I'm praying for you.
Come back. Email. Comment. Facebook. Tweet. Reach out for support—together we can help our gifted children succeed.
Be blessed and enjoy your children,

Stripes 1.2.1 has been released. This version is a minor bugfix version that fixes four known issues from the 1.2 release. The bugs fixed are:
- STS-110 - FlashCope fails after session invalidation
- STS-111 - Stripes 1.2 doesn't work with Spring unless you go through an ActionBean first
- STS-112 - FormTag doesn't always preappend the contextpath
- STS-114 - URLBuilder does not create valid XHTML
Stripes 1.2 Release Notes
Stripes 1.2 contains several major areas of new functionality as well as many smaller enhancements and bug fixes. The 1.2 release number is meant to indicate the inclusion of major new functionality and not a break in backwards compatibility.
Major new functionality
- Wizard Forms: A new system for automatically handling wizard (multi-page) forms. State is automatically persisted between pages in a way that is secure and multi-window safe. Furthermore validation is run only for those fields that were present on the page at rendering! For details see the new Wizard Forms How To.
- Flash Scope: The new flash scope is used to make objects from the current request cycle available to the next request cycle (in the same window). It is extremely useful in enabling redirect-after-post semantics without losing all the information generated by the post. For details see the State Management How To.
- Action Resolution using Names: A new ActionResolver implementation, NameBasedActionResolver. This resolver maps urls to classes intelligently based on class (and package) names, and maps events to methods based on method names. Where present annotations will override the name-driven mappings. In addition the NameBasedActionResolver is simple to extend to introduce new rules for url and event mapping.
- Pluggable Tag Repopulation: Value population and re-population for form field tags is now handled by a configurable component, making it easy to change the behaviour. For details see the Configuration Reference page or refer to the JavaDoc for PopulationStrategy
Other enhancements and changes
- Validation annotations can now be placed on private fields in addition to public getter/setter methods
- Annotations in child classes will automatically override those in parent classes
- The @Validate annotation now supports minimum and maximum value checking for all numeric types
- Built in numeric type converters now automatically handle currency and parenthetical-negative values
- A new Email type converter (requires JavaMail which is not distributed with Stripes)
- Ability to have Validatable.validate() called even when validation errors exist
- Improved generation of "friendly" property names when localized names are not provided
- Default form method is now POST
- RuntimeConfiguration is now the default Configuration
Bug fixes
- HTML event attributes are now correctly specified for stripes:form in the TLD
- Component type of deeply nested collections is now recognized correctly
- Bugzooky app now renders correctly in Internet Explorer (an IE XHTML bug was causing it to fail)
- Made handling of URLs (specifically when to prepend context path) consistent between stripes:form and stripes:link tags
- Removed all uses of Class.forName() and replaced with getContextClassLoader().loadClass()

Tertiary Period
The paleontology of the Tertiary is discussed in Donald R. Prothero, Linda C. Ivany, and Elizabeth A. Nesbitt (eds.), From Greenhouse to Icehouse: The Marine Eocene-Oligocene Transition (2003); Alan Feduccia, The Origin and Evolution of Birds, 2nd ed. (1999); Marie-Pierre Aubry, Spencer G. Lucas, and William A. Berggren (eds.), Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Climatic and Biotic Events in the Marine and Terrestrial Records (1998); Donald R. Prothero, The Eocene-Oligocene Transition: Paradise Lost (1994); Donald R. Prothero and William A. Berggren (eds.), Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution (1992); Stephen Jay Gould (ed.), The Book of Life (1993, reissued 2001); Else Marie Friis, William G. Chaloner, and Peter R. Crane (eds.), The Origins of Angiosperms and Their Biological Consequences (1987); and R.J.G. Savage, Mammal Evolution: An Illustrated Guide (1986).
Felix M. Gradstein, James G. Ogg, and Alan G. Smith (eds.), A Geologic Time Scale 2004 (2004), provides an excellent account of Tertiary stratigraphy (with special emphasis on the Paleogene and Neogene systems), the evolution of scientific thought with regard to the Tertiary, and early 21st-century changes to nomenclature. The geology of the Tertiary Period is also described in Steven M. Stanley, Earth System History, 2nd. ed. (2004); and James P. Kennett, Marine Geology (1982). Other discussions regarding the nomenclature of subdivisions within the Tertiary are provided in Derek J. Blundell and Andrew C. Scott (eds.), Lyell: The Past Is the Key to the Present (1998); William A. Berggren et al. (eds.), Geochronology, Time Scales, and Global Stratigraphic Correlation (1995); and W. Brian Harland et al., A Geologic Time Scale 1989 (1990).

All the big players from the Premier League era are in this collection - Tony Cottee, Paul Rideout, Peter Beardsley, Duncan Ferguson, Andrei Kanchelskis, Wayne Rooney, Kevin Campbell, Tim Cahill, Louis Saha, Yakubu, Leon Osman... and there's even a goal from Tim Howard!

And it's been one hell of a journey. In the seven games they have played in the competition, they have won two matches on penalties and beaten one Premier League team.
In their first round game against Oxford United, the Bluebirds were missing 10 players to international duty and had three u-18 players on the pitch, but they have shown team spirit throughout and battled hard to reach the final.
It will of course be a difficult game, Liverpool have shown signs of resurgence recently and put six goals past fellow Championship side Brighton in last week's FA Cup clash. Yet Cardiff have shown this season that they can score goals and this, added to the remarkable team spirit, gives them a great chance of causing a major upset.
Since Malky McKay took over in the summer he has introduced a quicker attacking game than before, and this has resulted in 50 goals in the league. Star players Peter Whittingham and Kenny Miller have both scored ten in all competitions, and these two on form will undoubtedly cause Liverpool's defence problems.
Another positive for the club is that captain Mark Hudson appears to have recovered from the calf problem and will be able to lead the side out at Wembley. A rock in defence, he is known for causing havoc in the oppositions defence and with Liverpool regularly conceding from set-pieces his presence at both ends of the pitch will be huge.
Since reaching Wembley Cardiff's form in the league has suffered, yet Peter Whittingham doesn't believe this matters. "It's a cup game, anything could happen in a cup game. Everything gets put aside, even things like what has been going on in the league," he said. "It's a fresh start as soon as that whistle goes. But we are not going there to make up the numbers, we are going there to win the game and hopefully we can."
With that sort of attitude combined with the battling qualities they have shown this season, Cardiff as the underdog have nothing to lose. Liverpool will undoubtedly be nervous as they look to win the first trophy since Kenny Dalglish took over last January, and Cardiff will need to attack from the first whistle and try and get an early goal. If they do that and play the football they are capable of, they have a good chance of winning the League Cup and heading into Europe next season.

Chicago officials say agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. is considering the city as a new location for its global headquarters after more than four decades in Decatur.
City spokesman Tom Alexander said Monday that ADM is a dynamic global company and would be a good fit with Chicago. He says officials will do their best to keep ADM in Illinois.
He declined to talk details, including the status of the talks. Company officials won't publicly discuss details about where it might relocate.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel says in a statement that he's pleased that ADM is considering staying in Illinois. He says he's ready to work with the state and the company.
ADM says the new headquarters would have about 100 employees.
ADM is the largest employer in Decatur.
