Hendersonville Mormons continue growth
Local Latter-day Saints will soon separate into two groups
Published: Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
More than 550 Mormons will meet as one ward inside their Hendersonville chapel on Brevard Road for the last time this Sunday. After that, they will split. Because of continued growth, the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is branching off into two separate services to better handle the crowd. The Hendersonville First Ward of 300-plus members, who reside mostly west of Interstate 26, will meet Sundays at 9 a.m. led by Bishop Jere Hyder. The Hendersonville Second Branch of "170 souls" (east of I-26 and U.S. Highway 25), under the stewardship of President Ben Beasley, will meet on Sundays starting at 1 p.m. "Normally, we don't like to split a unit unless we can make them into two wards (congregations of 300 or more)," said Wallace Booth, president of the Asheville stake, which comprises 13 congregations in 17 North Carolina counties and two in Georgia. The church decided to split this one, he said, because of "major parking issues." They had outgrown their chapel and were running out of room for other meetings.
The influence of presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been a factor in the church's growth, local members say.
Booth, a member of the Republican Party who was manning a booth at last weekend's Apple Festival, noticed interest among the crowd in the faith he shares with his party's nominee.
"We had a lot of people come up because that was Friday, the day after the Republican convention (ended).
They came up and asked me questions about the church," he said. "I think that a lot of people are asking questions they ordinarily wouldn't.
"We think the open dialogue between people of different denominations and faiths is a very healthy thing," said Beasley, who will lead his own congregation for the first time Sept. 16, after years of organizing the ward's annual Day of Service.
On that day each April, the congregation joins churches of different denominations and other organizations to make a difference in the community.
They help the less fortunate. They paint the homes of widows. They spruce up churches.
"It is a wonderfully unifying approach to Christianity where we identify what we have in common rather than what separates us. What we have in common is far more than what separates us," Beasley said.
Hyder said that Mormons share many of the same beliefs of their Protestant brothers, including the belief in Jesus as the son of God who lived on Earth and died for the sins of mankind.
"One of the big misconceptions about the church — and we hear this all the time — is that Mormons are not Christian, but we are," Hyder said.
"The name of the church is Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the reason (for) 'of Latter-day Saints' is to distinguish us from the saints at the time of Christ."
"The big difference," he added, "is that we believe there is a prophet on the Earth today and apostles — and that's hard for a lot of people to accept, but it was hard for a lot of people to accept in Noah's day, too."
The Mormons also meet a little longer than the typical church crowd. At least three hours are scheduled for church activities each Sunday, including a service in the chapel with hymns, an open podium to members and a sacrament, Sunday school and special study groups.
Men older than 18 attend the "priesthood," receiving instruction and responsibilities in ministering the church and being fathers at home.
Women gather in a "relief society" to receive instructions on being mothers and wives.
On a tour of the church, Booth stopped at the last room at the end of a hall.
It hosts an early-morning class called "seminary" for 14- to 18-year-olds, who come for an hour of study before high school each day. Without a theological seminary for the Latterday Saints, congregations depend on the volunteer efforts of local members who rise to a "calling" of lay ministry.
Beasley, a jovial man of nearly 7 feet with a smile just as large, felt the calling, like the fisherman Peter, he said, who was called to be a "fisher of men." Beasley will cast his net wide, organizing the new branch in addition to his full-time job as a real estate appraiser.
He grew up in the Episcopal Church, but joined the Latter-day Saints after reading the Book of Mormon, a publication still debated among Christians today.
Booth joined the church after pedaling missionaries dressed in suits and ties knocked on his door in Upstate New York. He was a 22-year-old college student at the time, and soon after hearing the word, he joined the church. Considered one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a total worldwide membership of more than 14.4 million. More than 78,000 Mormons reside in North Carolina. The Hendersonville church branched off from the growing Asheville Ward with about 120 members in the late 1970s.
Established then as the Hendersonville Branch, the congregation met in the Girl Scouts cabin near Five Points until the first phase of its new home was built in 1977.
Two phases of construction later, their meetinghouse at 2005 Brevard Road has nearly doubled from its original size.
Today, there is little room for expansion, but growth has remained steady. In the 1980s, the Brevard branch was formed from the burgeoning Hendersonville Ward.
"We expect that in a few years something similar will happen to our newly formed congregation," Beasley said.
There are 138 temples, reserved for special services and training sessions, throughout the world. North Carolina holds an estimated 16 stakes, each representing a cluster of congregations.
"We just had two stakes created last year in the state," Booth said.
"You'll ask, 'Why is it so many people are Latterday Saints? Why is the church growing like it is?' And it's because we don't tell other people what to do or that we're right and they're wrong. We say, discover for yourself," Beasley said.

I was reading this documentation file of some software and note the plural spelling of this abbreviation is "URL's". Why isn't it "URLs"?

The regular way to pluralize any noun is by adding just an s; the apostrophe should only be added to plural s if the word would otherwise become unreadable or exceedingly ambiguous. A good example would be s's (the plural of the letter s: ss would look like an acronym).
The word URLs would seem to be quite clear: *URL's is probably a simple error made by those confusing it with the possessive 's, which always has an apostrophe (a few pronouns being the exception, like its and hers).
The answer lies in the history of how apostrophes have been used, and how this has then changed:
A Brief, but not that Brief, History of the Apostrophe in English
There's a myth that the apostrophe is only used for elision. It's a pretty useful myth, because it's unlikely to lead you into mistakes if you are using the most popular styles today, with the possible exception that you might write ones for one's. (Most other exceptions can be easily absorbed in by considering them, albeit sometimes inaccurately as we'll see, as a foreign use.)
If though, you want to know why the form URL's is sometimes still found, then we need to get rid of that notion.
Now, it certainly is true that the apostrophe was first used for elision; that's what the French invented it for, and that's what the English borrowed it for. But it was soon put to several other uses.
Some Non-Elision Apostrophes.
Two very early uses were with the anglicisation of Irish and Scottish surnames.
In Anglicising names like Ó Raghallaigh, the English neither wanted to leave the fada in (still not English enough), nor leave the O as a bare word (that would look like an apostrophe in the other sense of the word, directed at someone called Reilly) nor merge them together entirely (which would be too great a change from the original, and hide some possible relationships). Hence they added in an apostrophe to produce O'Reilly. This remains the standard English spelling.
In printing and writing Irish and Scottish (and historically, Manx) names like MacGregor or McGregor, a superscript c was often used: McGregor or MᶜGregor. Some printers substituted a comma turned upside down for this letter*: MʻGregor. Some later printers replaced that with an apostrophe: M'Gregor. This is now rare. One could argue that the letter ʻ was being elided, but the use did not relate to whether the letter was pronounced or not.
The turned comma left a mark in other languages, in that the letter ʻokina used when writing some Polynesian languages in Latin script comes from this too. This is also a case where transcriptions into English can use an apostrophe to replace it; with Hawaiʻi sometimes spelled Hawai'i, and so on.
Note that these are not Gaelic or Polynesian uses borrowed into English; they are English uses as to how words are borrowed, and the O' example in particular is an anglicisation only ever found in Irish use if someone insists upon the form of their name they use, rather than translating it back (which would be more common).
A final variant of this before we move on to other cases, is the signalling of a glottal stop or syllable separator when transcribing into English. Some languages do use an apostrophe as a letter representing a glottal stop, but there are also cases where English uses it though the language transcribed from does not. The Qur'an and al-Qur'an are fast becoming the most common English spellings of القرآن though there's clearly no apostrophe in the original; nor in most other transcriptions into European languages. It's an English thing. Another trancription use is that in mus'haf it signals that the s and h belong to different syllables.
The Genitive Apostrophe comes from Elision, but is not Elision
A case that is only partly elision, is with the genitive. As is well-known, the origin of the apostrophe to produce the genitive originates with the elision of the -es ending that signified the genitive case on nouns.
However, this is not how the modern genitive apostrophe works. It is applied to noun phrases rather than nouns, ("The Prince of Denmark's tragedy," not "The Prince's of Denmark tragedy") and more significantly, it is used where there is nothing to elide: We have "the gate's hinges creaked", though the original genitive of gate would have been gates, not gatees.
So while it originated as an elision, its generalisation to other forms mean it is neither an elided case (since it acts as a clitic on entire noun phrases) nor always an elision (since it's used where there's nothing elided). The apostrophe here is acting as much as a separator – signalling that the s is acting upon the word it's attached to in some special way, rather than a "normal" part of it – as it is an elision.
The Apostrophe as a Separator in Certain Plurals
Compare that with the other cases mentioned so far, and this separator rôle seems to be a reasonable way of understanding its place in O'Reilly, Hawai'i and Qur'an, and even more so in mus'haf.
And it is this role of separator that gives us the use that leads to URL's.
The most common form of plural in Modern English, is of course the addition of an -s, and all the productive plural forms also end in -s (-es, -ies, -ves). This produces a new word-form and is all very straightforward and normal: Normal English word + Normal English ending = Normal English plural!
There are though several cases that people do, or have, found problematic.
One is with loan words. Let's say I borrow the word kanelsnegle, because you can't get decent kanelsnegle in shops here, and I want to point out that mine are the real thing compared to the store-bought rubbish that are either called cinnamon rolls or just lumped under Danishes with several other Danish pastries. Now, if I come to pluralise this, I've a few different choices. I can just stick an s on as I would an English word, though that word is neither fish nor fowl. I could use the Danish plural, but many English-speakers wouldn't realise kanelsnegler was plural. I could italicise just one part of the word to produce "kanelsnegle s", or I could quote part of it as "kanelsnegle"s.
Once upon a time, one might use an apostrophe here. It was done with loan-words that ended in a vowel, s, z, ch or sh. This use is dead now, but folio's and waltz's were indeed once accepted.
Other cases include surnames that ended in -s and perhaps other sibilant sounds (the Jones's). Another is numbers (the 1900's), particularly single digits (6's and 9's) and single letters (She got A's in all her exams), particularly when lower case (a's without the apostrophe is particularly easy to confuse with the word as).
Overlapping with that last case, are mentions of words, rather than uses (If's and but's, Do's and don'ts, this last example also showing a tendency to avoid multiple apostrophes close together†).
And finally, another case is when abbreviations, whether initialisations, contractions, or other forms, are pluralised. Many of our older abbreviations have their own plural, either from doubling (Ss for "Saints", pp for "pages", exx for "exemplars"), separate forms, the abbreviation understood to cover both plural and singular cases (NB standing for both "nota bene" and "notate bene"), the abbreviation being inherently plural in all cases (etc.) or uncountable.
The increase in fondness for abbreviations, born of the same impulse to contract that gave us the apostrophe in the first place, introduced many new forms that needed clear and understandable plurals, and so the apostrophe was often put to this use, though some objected that the period (then almost always part of an initialisations and many other abbreviations) already signified an elision and so the s could simply be understood as part of the word that wasn't elided. So for "Members of Parliament", one could find M. P.s, M.s P., M.'s P., and M. P.'s according to the author's preferences.
The Decline and Fall of the Apostrophe
The general move has been toward Shaw's wish to treat the "uncouth bacilli" with a dose of penicillin, and generally toward less and less use of the apostrophe:
The use for plurals of loan-words is entirely dead. So too are all but one of the more novel genetive pronouns; who's and it's‡ completely replaced by whose and its, and are only found in mistakes. While still considered incorrect today, we can conjecture ones might well replace one's some day, though it does have the possibility of ambiguity.
The use in Irish O' surnames is pretty much likely to last a long time, with M' remaining among a few but already pretty rare compared to Mac and Mc forms.
The use as a replacement for the ʻokina is neither fish nor fowl and fails either the consistency of Hawaii nor the faithfulness to the original langauge of Hawaiʻi. It remains not terribly common. It is more reasonable with straight typewriter apostrophes
Almost all the plural forms are dying out. That with abbreviations in particular are now massively less popular than the apostrophe-less alternative, to the point where some people think it's a mistake comparable to "grocer's apostrophe's" rather than an older form. Some still use it when they are using periods in the abbreviation,§ or for lower-case forms but not otherwise, but on the whole it's dying a quick death.
The use with loan-words is well and truly dead. That with numbers is dying fast but remains (dropping it gives no risk of ambiguity, and indeed can cause ambiguity with the genitive form as applied to decades). The use with mentions overuses lingers a bit, but is easily replaced with the use of italics. Only that with single letters and digits has much of a current following.
Even the use for elision is rarer now than before, with for example the preterite form of verbs almost never being formed with -'d, only ever with -ed.
The genitive form of most words continues strong, but not in derived names; Companies with genitive names are increasingly dropping them (Waterstone's becoming Waterstones for example), and apostrophes are disappearing from place names that came from a genitive (there are many places called St. James' and St. James's, but expect new places to be St. James while Earl's Court is only sometimes called Earls Court, the tube station and exhibition centre are both apostrophe-less).
About the only use that the apostrophe is growing in, is in transcriptions, with e.g. Koran being the most common English spelling by far quite recently, and Qu'ran rapidly edging it out.
So in all, we can expect to see fewer URL's and more URLs as things continue, but we should not be sure to see URL's linger, and all the more so U.R.L.'s since old habits die hard and this isn't even that old a habit (I was taught it as the correct form, and I'm not even forty). Though really, who uses URLs for URIs these days, anyway? How often does it really matter to point out that it's definitely not a URN? How often is it actually the case that it's definitely not a URN?
* In some fonts, this would also work well for the left single quote, or even a pair for left double quotes, which has left a legacy in that some people still refer to these as "turned commas", though strictly they are not; turned commas were a printer's trick of substitution, not the actual symbol the trick was used for. In some fonts (especially larged sized fonts), the trick would not work.
† And increasingly so, Alice sha'n't do certain things, because Lewis Carroll prefered to be precise, but most of us shan't. Eliza on the other hand, shant, because George Bernard Shaw argued against most, if not all, uses of the apostrophe, "There is not the faintest reason for persisting in the ugly and silly trick of peppering pages with these uncouth bacilli." Fo'c's'le seems to get grandfathered in against this preference from a mix of it colliding so many consonants together, and people remembering its spelling as the one with lots of apostrophes. Even so, fo'c'sle and even foc'sle are both also found. (I note my spell-check complains only of the last).
‡ Its has a long history of battling with both the original his and the logically reasonable it's (it + genitive 's), before beating out both to be the genitive third person neuter pronoun, but it's as a genitive pronoun before around 1800 was a style decision, rather than an error.
§ Itself a practice that is dying out. The period in such cases was originally a mark of elision, and much older in such use than the apostrophe. Most style-guides favour not using them with initialisms, though some will use the form favoured by an organisation that has the initialism as its name, or where it can otherwise be considered authoritative. This still leads to them becoming less common, as said organisations also move to use the period less often. E.g. the B.B.C. became the BBC some time ago. Many do still use them with traditional forms (like I just did with e.g.) and other contractions like op. cit.
I would write URLs, and not URL's, but I can understand why somebody would write URL's.
The NOAD reports that 's us also used to denote the plural of letters or symbols (e.g. T's, 9's). A note about the usage of 's found on the NOAD says:
A note about the usage of the apostrophe says the following:
"URL's"(sic) is a common error -- the grocers' apostrophe.
This is the kind of thing that gets Bob riled up.
Maybe the software was written by a Dutch person.
You'll sometimes see Dutch native speakers making this mistake in English because an apostrophe is how you add the plural 's' in Dutch. So URL's would be the correct form in a Dutch text documentation.

Professor Michael W. Doyle, the Harold Brown Professor of International and Public Affairs, of Law, and of Political Science, was recently elected to the American Philosophical Society, the nation's oldest learned society. With his election, Doyle joins the society's more than 900 members, 200 of whom have received the Nobel Prize.
"Being invited to join the American Philosophical Society is an exceptional honor, primarily due to the distinguished company one joins, beginning with the founder, Benjamin Franklin, and including current Columbia colleagues," Doyle said. "In its conferences and publications, it is also one of the few academic societies that not only tries but succeeds in speaking across the disciplines."
Doyle specializes in international relations theory, international security, and international organizations. Prior to joining the Law School, he served as assistant secretary-general and special adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Remembering David Kuo
You may see a lot of well-deserved tributes to David Kuo, the former Bush faith-based programs champion (along with John DiIulio), who died yesterday at 44 after a long struggle with cancer. But this early one from his friend Joe Klein at Time is beautiful for recalling Kuo as a person and a believer, and situating him in his political context:
I met him about 17 years ago. He was an evangelical conservative in those daysand still was, in the truest sense, as his soul left his body, although political conservatism had taken itself to a place of cruelty that David couldnt really abide ...... We were friends, I think, instantaneously. He was the least self-righteous man of faith Id ever met. He was, in fact, a hoot. He loved oysters and Martinis. And we were fellow members of a long-suffering tribe: We were Mets fans. At one point, David and I decided to go down to spring trainingand golf school!together. At his insistence, we rented a red convertible. David loved life. He always reminded me that Jesuss first miracle was turning water into wine.Ahh, Jesus. He was the heart of the matter. We talked about Jesus a lot. We studied Matthew together. Davids favorite verse was Matthew 25: when you do this for the least of these, you do it for me. It was the verse at the heart of the faith-based social programs that David never tired of promoting. He never could get me to cross the divinity bridge I am a Jew, for chrissake. But Jesus was, too. He was the greatest of the Jewish prophets, a true egalitarian who taught: you dont need the priests to sacrifice animals for you or intervene on your behalf with God, you can have your own direct relationship with God through prayer and meditation, by helping others, by living simply and carefullythat is, a life full of care.(snip)I spent Easter Sunday with David in hospice. He couldnt talk and had difficulty swallowing. We held hands for seven hours. He could understand what I was saying and he would squeeze my hand in response to my recollections of our times togetherthe red convertible, the Bible study, the times he asked mea man old enough to be his fatherfor advice, the times, the many times, he gave me comfort and support and inspiration.
A Mets fan. That is sad. I know. And Kuo (and DiIulio) had more heartache with the faith-based programs. But if a man is known by his friends, Kuo was remarkable.

Could you maybe get a hold of yourself? This isn't your living room, and I am tired of having to remove these kinds of comments from you.
Thank you for the fine tribute. A testament to friendship and real interfaith appreciation... and a good man. I recall that he struggled with all of the politics and policies, but it seems that his intentions were very pure.
Hmmm. Stupid or not, Klein's comment doesn't merit that kind of response in this setting, and I apologize for replying too hastily.
I read his "J-walking" blog on BeliefNet and came to admire him tremendously for his witness, his integrity, and of course his writing. We lost a very good man.
A perfect tribute for this faith-filled man. I always admired his courage and ability to walk his talk in the most humble way. RIP, DK.

The Lake Oswego Public Golf Course is pleased to announce the opening of Casa del Pollo Restaurant. The Zuniga family (restaurant owners) have been busy making preparations and are open for service and are eager to provide you with delicious Costa Rican lunch and dinner options.
If the name sounds familiar, it's because they currently operate a cozy little restaurant on Boone's Ferry Road in Lake Oswego under the same name. It's the little red place that recently was crashed into by a car about three weeks ago. Needless to say they have been quite busy between making arrangements to open at the Muni and repairing and re-opening their existing restaurant.
Hours of operation are 10am-8pm. Come to the Muni, shoot a bucket of balls on the practice range and have lunch, or try the breakfast burrito with the secret green sauce....super good. The Zuniga family are very welcoming and truly nice people. A formal announcement of their Grand Opening event will follow in the days to come.
See the menu below under Supporting Documents. Call-in orders are taken by Mario at 503-534-5281 after 10am.

I occasionally need to get files from my Dropbox account when I'm using a computer not under my control. I can download or access individual files on the dropbox website, but is there a convienent way to download entire folders, preferably in some sort of archive?
This is pretty easy. Simply check the check box next to the folder(s) you want to download and then go to
More Actions > Download Folder
You can also do this to download multiple files within a folder. Check all the items you want to download and then go to
More Actions > Download Items
The above mentioned solutions do not work anymore.
Instead, open the folder you want to download and click to select individual files, or press Ctrl+A to select all files. A row of buttons will appear above the list of files, click the Download button to download the selected files as a Zip compressed archive.
EDIT: Matthew Crumley's solution works as well, just be sure not to click the folder name itself, as it will open the folder instead of selecting it. The Download button will appear in the row of buttons above the folder list, and not in a drop-down menu as mentioned.
If you only want to download a single folder, you can just click to the right of the folder you want to download (in the blue highlight box around the folder), and choose "Download Folder" from the drop-down list.
Here is a way to download folders all at once. I work for a law firm and We had a HUGE document production to download. 25 folders on the main page with subfolders inside. I was VERY glad I discovered this method. It took minutes to do as compared to saving each document individually. The above options did not work for me so if they didn't work for you either, try this.
Go to the opening screen for your project in Dropbox and click on the "DOWNLOAD" button, then RIGHT click on "Download as .zip" option and choose "Save Target as". This will permit you to navigate to your hard drive to save the zip file where you desire.
To open the zip file, again right click and choose "Open With" then "WINZIP" (if that is your extraction program of choice) and another screen will open so you can then extract the files.

i have two questions that seem to bother me lately. Maybe you could help me and/or point me in any related literature.
1) Assume hermitian matrix $H \in \mathcal{C}^{n \times n}$ that has rank $r$. How many real valued parameters are needed to describe it?
2) Now assume that you also have the knowledge that $H = G^*G$ for some $G \in \mathcal{C}^{n \times m}$ with rank r. Does this piece of information reduce the number of real valued parameters needed to specify H?
Thank you very much for your help,

GROESBECK (February 20, 2013)--A Groesbeck man was sentenced Wednesday in Waco's federal court after he pleaded guilty in December to possessing images of child pornography both on his home computer and his cellular telephone.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Steven Elliott Parks to 6 years in federal prison, to be followed by 5 years on supervised release, and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and a $100 in special assessment to the court.
A criminal complaint signed by U.S. Magistrate Jeffrey C. Manske and presented at Parks' plea hearing says agents of the U.S. Secret Service, along with investigators from the Limestone County Sheriff's Office on June 5 began an investigation into child pornography.
Federal agents were able to recover several photographs depicting children in inappropriate poses and other photographs that appeared to have been taken with a cellular telephone.
During an interview with Parks, the affidavit says, he admitted he had stored the photographs both on his phone and on his home computer.
Agents also were able to identify a 13-year-old girl who was pictured in the photos and she told them the pictures were of her.

Carnival of skiing in Salisbury
|Salisbury will be jumping this weekend as the Ski Jumping Winter Carnival takes place at Satre Hill. Republican-American archive
The 87th year for the main event, the Eastern U.S. Ski Jumping Championships often has forecast future Olympic competitors. Ski jumpers will be showing off the coordination, skill and grace it takes to soar 64 meters — more than 200 feet — with a happy landing. Traditionally, the enthusiastic crowd cheers them on by jingling cowbells as the jumpers soar.
Activities have expanded into a Winter Carnival that fills two weekends. The first, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will feature extreme Alpine ski jumping, while the highlight of the second weekend, Jump Fest Feb. 8-10, the championship.
Both weekends include the human dogsled race, a crowd favorite where five people pull a sled and driver around a .3-mile course. Competing teams can get very creative with both their costumes and sleds.
Extreme downhill skiers from across the U.S. will be competing at Alpine ski jumping, a sport also known as Gelande. This is a daring hybrid form of jumping where jumpers use heavy downhill ski equipment, including poles, and the danger to the jump by ignoring the landing grooves cut into the run for traditional jumpers.
Informal practice will take place Friday night, with Alpine ski jumping under the lights scheduled for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Saturday afternoon will feature a junior meet from 1 to 3 p.m. The human dogsled race will mush into action on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Satre Ski Hill is on Indian Cave Road, off Route 44 in Salisbury. Signs in the center of Salisbury point the way to free parking.
For details, see www. jumpfest.org.

Top five things worth knowing about Cape Town International Airport
Cape Town International Airport has been rated the Best Airport in Africa for the third year in a row by the Airports Council International (ACI). It is also one of five airports in the world (for 2012) nominated for inclusion on the Director General's Roll of Excellence. So what makes Cape Town International Airport so special?
Better and better
Visitors to Cape Town International in recent years would have noticed major upgrades to the central terminal building, upper and lower roadway, and the passenger-loading bridges, as well as a new pick-up-and-go-parking area.
Watching arrivals and departures
Children – and the child in all of us – will be delighted to know that the thrill of watching planes arrive and depart is part of the experience thanks to large-scale glass viewing walls provided in several lounges.
Accolades galore
Cape Town International Airport also won the Best Airport in Africa award at the ACI Global Awards in February 2012, as well as Best Airport in Africa and Best Airport in Africa for Staff Service Excellence at the SKYTRAX World Airport Awards in April 2012. Acsa Cape Town International Airport has also received International Standards Organisation accreditation from the South African Bureau of Standards Approvals Board.
Connecting with the city
Launched during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the My CiTi shuttle service provides a safe, clean, punctual transport option between the airport and the Civic Centre in central Cape Town. A one-way ticket costs R57 and the trip takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
Shop, relax and refuel
There are more than 20 airlines servicing Cape Town International Airport, both domestic and international carriers. The central terminal building is a hive of activity 24/7, with shops, services and restaurants offering travellers a welcome opportunity to recharge.
TIP: If travelling by car from the airport towards Table Mountain, there are many route options – keep going along the N2 into the city centre, or follow signage to the Northern or Southern Suburbs from the highway. Navigate like a local and use Table Mountain as your point of reference.

Waterbury: Christmas decorations were pleasing
I would like to praise and thank the owners of Lagasse Apartment Rentals on Willow Street for their beautifully decorated buildings at Christmas time. The holiday lights on the buildings gave a very elegant and glowing look to their area of Willow Street.
Willow Street is a gateway to the Willow-Plaza neighborhood, the historic district and the historic Overlook neighborhood, and most certainly, when people traveled up Willow Street during the holiday season, they were greeted by these five wonderfully cheerful buildings. The decorations gave the area a festive look that demonstrates the Lagasses' pride in the apartments they own and manage, and desire to reclaim the Willow Street area so it can once again become a warm and welcoming part of Waterbury.

I am using a liquid layout on my website, but when I view in in my browser I find that when I change the browser window size, the images are stretched out of proportion. Can anybody help?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
In your CSS, ensure that for every image, either its

You should provide a test link.
Anyways your images must have a fixed width and height, and should not change their proportions while changing the window's size.
After an excessive window's downsizing, the whole layout would become a mess. But this is something unavoidable as far as i know.
You could get fancy with javascript and provide multiple images for steps of sizes or downsize intelligently with bicubic sampling and such. You cannot simply resize raster images without epic loss of quality.

Surviving, Thriving, Coping
Beverly Dubrin email@example.com
Copyright © 1998, Beverly Dubrin. All rights reserved.
Last Modified: April 28, 2003
July 16, 1998
In January 1998, when I wrote From a Beginning Breast Cancer Survivor I was feeling very much the novice at living with cancer. While there are still times when I find it hard to believe that I am really a "survivor," or that cancer is an integral part of my life, I am becoming more accustomed to living with the "new" me who is somewhat different from and yet very much the same as the "old" me.
I left off on the eve of my last chemotherapy treatment. Looking back on chemo, I really hated it. I hated the thought of "poisoning" my body, I hated being "spaced out" for a day and a half, I hated being fatigued, I hated having a compromised immune system. I felt helpless and extremely fragile through the whole process. The week before that last infusion I was terribly tense; my white blood count had dropped to an all-time low the week before and I feared it would not be high enough for the final treatment on the scheduled day. To my joy, it bounced back up that week and then the only problem was that the nurse needed three tries to find a good vein.
For whatever reason, I bounced back faster from my last chemo than I had from the earlier treatments. By "bounced back" I only mean that I felt like taking walks and eating at least a day sooner. What lasted longer was the feeling of nausea, especially in the mornings, and food had little or no taste for more than a week.
One day I ordered a tuna salad in a restaurant and it was served with a bowl of dressing on the side. In the course of the lunch, I used the entire bowl of dressing because I thought the tuna and vegetables were so bland. It was not until I was driving home that I realized that there was probably nothing at all wrong with that salad, it was my taste that was totally off! A few days later I was saturating the bread of a Reuben sandwich with mustard...it didnÃt taste either.
Throughout my course of chemo, I craved salty foods because they had a taste. Other favorites were fresh fruit, especially mango. My oncologist said that I could keep having my glass of wine with dinner, but for much of the time, it burned as I swallowed and for the rest of the time my "off" taste buds made it impossible for me to distinguish one wine from another; fruit juice proved to be a better bet.
Two weeks after my last chemo, I started a series of 29 radiation treatments. Other than the nuisance of having to go for a treatment every week day, the radiation didnÃt bother me a bit. My radiation oncologist and his staff were always upbeat, attentive, and considerate. I made friends with the other patients who had treatments before and after me. It was not until the last week or so that I had any sort of skin reaction from the radiation and that caused little discomfort. My energy level stayed high throughout and I didnÃt need the daily naps that I took while I was having chemo.
My hair loss gradually annoyed me more and more. I wore my wig for about two months and then got fed up with it...it was hot, it itched, when I walked outdoors in the wind I feared it would take flight, when it rained I feared I would look like the head of a mop. My next "head gear" transition was to hats and scarves. These made me happier because I treated them like accessories and matched them up to my clothes. I have never liked to wear hats and, yet, here I was with a wardrobe of chapeaux. With no hair, my head got cold, even in the house, and I started keeping a baseball cap with me wherever I went, just in case.
Naively, I expected a new head of hair to sprout within days of completing chemo, but that was not to be. In fact, just about the time I was starting radiation, the few wisps of hair that had remained, fell out. The "peach fuzz" on my face disappeared, giving me very smooth soft skin, a perfect complexion, and the hair on my arms disappeared, too. My eye brows thinned and most of my lashes disappeared. Each day I would carefully apply mascara to the four (yes, I counted them) remaining lashes on my right eye. Looking back on this final "shedding" I am guessing that new hair was starting to grow and it pushed out all the old.
When I rode my bike during my hairless period I discovered that eye lashes serve a purpose other than being something to bat at attractive men; they keep out dust and dirt. Bike riding was almost impossible because my eyes would tear continuously from particles that I picked up on the road, even when I wore sun glasses.
About two months after my last chemo, at the end of March, I felt some fuzz on my head. My husband swore that he saw nothing, but, at my insistence, took out a flashlight and magnifying glass to examine my head. Whether there really was hair or he was just humoring me, I will never know, but he confirmed that hair was growing. Yea!
By this time California Spring was upon us and I started going around bareheaded. Yes, I got a few looks now and then, but, knowing that I was growing hair, I had the courage and determination to show it off. Day by day more hair grew and in a short time I had a chic "look" that had people stopping me on the street to compliment me on my hair style. I learned to restrain myself and just smile and say "thank you," knowing that the last thing they would want to hear was my cancer story.
My hair was curly before I lost it and it seems to be curly, or at least wavy, this time around as well. The color is a bit darker and there is more gray than blond, but the sun and chlorine from the pool are lightening it. IÃve had two haircuts to shape it up and like the ultra-short look enough to keep it this way for awhile, at least until total strangers stop telling me how attractive it looks.
Through all my treatments I had not felt the need of a formal support group. In fact, I was so busy going to medical appointments that I felt I had enough cancer-related things in my life. I kept working through this all which contributed to my sanity and gave me a sense of purpose.
But, I did, in fact, have an informal support group which was made up of a few close friends and my swim buddies. I swim on a U.S. Masters Team and attend three or four workouts each week. Each day when I walked into the locker room and tossed my wig or hat into my bag, I got encouragement, praise, and lots of support from my companions. Curiously, while many of them have known people with cancer, few have shared the daily details of going through treatment and coping and recovering. I was only too glad to show my scars and share the details of my treatment. We were all learning and going through this together.
Soon after my last radiation, I made a big party for my personal support group. It was a time to celebrate and that we did.
As I was finishing up my radiation, it occurred to me that for more than six months I had been intensely occupied with treating my cancer. Now that was about to wind down and I was to return to my "normal" routine.
Just as I was wondering, how I would handle the transition, my radiation oncologist was handing out flyers advertising an up-and-coming "I Can Cope" program in which he was participating. I signed up.
"I Can Cope" is an eight-session American Cancer Society program which is conducted, at no charge, for cancer patients, survivors, and their families and friends. One of my friends whose mother had just been diagnosed with stomach cancer came with me. Each week we covered a different topic. The class was led by a social worker and an oncology nurse from my hospital. Our speakers included a medical oncologist, my radiation oncologist, a psychiatrist, and representatives from local support groups. This was my first real association with other people whose lives had been touched by cancer and it opened my eyes to what others live with and go through. As members of this group we came to care about one another. We worried when someone was absent and rejoiced when someone had some good news.
A month after I completed radiation, my radiation oncologist said that my skin had recovered and that I could have my nipple reconstructed.
This was an outpatient procedure that took about an hour and a half. My abdominal scar from the TRAM Flap reconstruction had little bunchy areas on either end. My plastic surgeon revised this scar and removed these "dog ears" and used the skin from one to make a nipple. He sent me home bandaged up with puffy bandages that were so big that I kept bumping into things for the week that I wore them! It is amazing that when you change your bodyÃs dimensions, how you have to make other adjustments.
A week later, when the bandages came off, I got my first look at the nipple. Although my surgeon had told me he was making it about three times larger than the other one because it would shrink as it healed, I was unprepared to look down and see what looked like a Greek Olive sticking out of my breast. It took a few weeks for the "olive" to shrink to raisin size and it continues to look more like its prototype on my original other breast every day.
The next step, once the nipple is completely healed, will be to have an areola tattooed around the nipple. I continue to be amazed and delighted at the wonders of plastic surgery. I feel like a work of art.
Last week I had my second three-month checkup with my oncologist and my blood tests indicate that all is going well. Before each checkup I have a few tense days because I know that despite my good prognosis for "cure," there is no real cure for cancer and that it could pop up again at any point in time. This is part of living with and surviving cancer.
I also celebrated my 57th birthday and realized that I worked very hard to get to this birthday. IÃve always loved birthdays and have never been bothered about getting older, but now each birthday will carry with it an added blessing.
It feels great to be a survivor and I am thriving on my survival.

NEW CUMBERLAND - A new social media policy for Hancock County employees tries to strike a balance between free speech rights and responsibility to the county.
The policy, recently approved by Hancock County commissioners and now a part of the county employee policy manual, applies to employees whether they are posting or commenting on county websites, personal sites or third-party sites.
The county's website, which currently is being renovated, does not have any social media components. The policy defines social media as "the group of Internet-based applications that allow for the creation and exchange of user-generated content."
Article Photos
The use of social media by county government employees has increased partly because of the proliferation of smartphones. -- Stephen Huba
Social media include social-networking sites such as Facebook, blogs and micro-blogs such as Twitter, content-sharing sites such as SlideShare, image-sharing sites such as Flickr, discussion boards and chat rooms, third-party rating sites such as Yelp, and smartphone applications, according to the policy.
"The county does not discourage employees from using social media in their personal lives during their personal time on personal devices," the policy says. "This policy is not intended to restrict the flow of useful and appropriate information. The county, however, reminds each and every employee that the nature of the Internet is such that what you 'say' online will be captured forever and can be transmitted endlessly without your consent or knowledge."
Thomas Zielinsky, executive director of the county's Office of Technology and Communications, said the policy was developed over a period of months and in consultation with Weirton attorney Salene Mazur Kraemer, a specialist in business law and technology.
"She and her staff did a very good job. They looked at what our needs were. We took that template to our elected officials and had them read through it and make recommendations," Zielinsky said.
The thrust of the new policy, Zielinsky said, is to ensure that work productivity is not affected by the use of social media and that the county's reputation is not harmed by employees using social media.
"Employees need to know that what they say on social media can come back and bite them," he said. "This does represent (the county) to the people who are going to read all this, and there's definite consequences to that."
Social media use, including personal texting and e-mailing, is discouraged at work.
"We don't think this is appropriate in the work environment," Zielinsky said.
While the policy offers guidelines and suggestions, it also has specific restrictions:
County employees are discouraged from "friending" business partners, residents and customers on Facebook to avoid conflicts of interest. (Connecting through LinkedIn, however, is acceptable for professional purposes.)
Employees caught using social media sites during work hours may be subject to "remedial discipline," up to and including termination. (Publishing any customer information without prior approval or publishing confidential county information may result in immediate termination.)
Social media are not a replacement for face-to-face and personal interactions.
Employees are not to speak on behalf of the county without prior written authorization from the county social media point of contact.
When employees speak or write about the county, they should provide the following disclaimer or something similar: "The views and opinions expressed are my own and do not reflect the opinion of my employer, the Hancock County Commission."
Employees are not to post, upload or share any recording or image taken in the workplace or at a county-sponsored event without express advance authorization.
Social media checks may be used in the hiring process but only in conjunction with other recruitment methods.
Employees should not disclose confidential or proprietary information belonging to the county, including prices, revenue, new services, sensitive information, business plans, unannounced strategies and future plans.
"The county respects the free speech rights of all of our employees, but you must remember that citizens, customers, as well as colleagues may have access to online content you post," the policy says. "There is no separation for others between your personal and professional profiles within social media."
Zielinsky said the policy is intended more for education purposes and includes a list of do's and don'ts.
Employees are encouraged to "be a scout" and report potential abuses of the social media policy.
All employees must sign and date the policy, indicating they have read it and understand it.

"We talk about a championship experience in mind, body and spirit here at Franciscan basketball." Lamanna said. "This is speaking to that experience where we are playing a previous national champion at the DI level and a potential future national champion at the DI level."
Exhibition games occur in the pre-season and allow each team to prepare for their regular season games by priming the players for competition. Typically, Division I schools host two exhibition games per year against non-DI opponents. Top DI schools such as Kentucky usually play top DII and DIII programs.
"It's a program-changing opportunity that truly legitimizes us as a NCAA DIII men's basketball program." Lamanna said. "We'll be able to take some real positives from this opportunity."
With nine of their current 11 players freshman or sophomores, the Barons should field their most competitive team in recent history for the exhibition.
"It will be the best team we've had since I've been a coach here," Lamanna said.
The program will benefit from a fundraising standpoint. Division I schools pay lower level opponents to play in exhibition games. In the case of FUS, playing Kentucky could be one of the biggest fundraising opportunities in its history.

Best practice for overriding SASS mixins with new package structure.
Hi guys,
I'm just wondering what everyones thoughts are on overriding mixins on the new theme structure?
Previously we would create a whole new theme and edit the mixin directly and then workout the differences between new ExtJS versions using a diff and apply any changes that were relevant to our mixin. Super messy!
Now that we are extending an official themes, we still want to editing the original mixins. Currently we are just creating a file, in src/window/Window.scss for example, that copies the whole mixin from the natural theme. Then editing what we want to change.
Now this appears to work OK because our one is loaded last, but still feels messy, especially after all this work has been done by Sencha to make theme editing a lot more managed!
If anyone has any insight it would be great to hear it!
UPDATE: Just noticed that this practice causes an error in the slicer when packaging the theme.
The widget undefined declares two corners with two different urls

Just curious, what are you trying to do here? Is there a missing feature from the extjs-window-ui mixin? Perhaps a new parameter that needs to be added?
There are 2 problem with overriding UI mixins:
1. Because of the way the files are ordered, the "default" UI will use the neutral theme's mixin, not your overridden one. If you're not using the default UI it will get generated anyway, consuming extra space. I've opened a ticket for this becuase we should really provide a way to prevent the "default" UIs from being generated, if you decide not to use them.
2. once you've duplicated the mixin, you've essentially "forked" a large portion of the code, and you won't get bug fixes to the mixin going forward.
I would recommend that if there is some missing feature or bug fix required in the framework's UI mixin, we should fix it there, and I would hope overriding a UI mixin in your theme would not typically be necessary. If you find it really is necessary, the way you are doing it will work fine, you'll just have extra "default" UI rules that may not be used.Phil Guerrant

Hi Phil,
Specific examples are wanting to add gradients to Window headers. Text shadows to various parts. There are quite a lot of components that are not configurable without changing the mixin currently.
I understand that this is not the preferred way of doing it, which is why I was wondering what the best way should be. At least the new structure for 4.2 theming makes life a bit easier when tracking changes to the original mixin. Before it was a nightmare
If you want, I'm happy to work with you guys to add in extra configurable parts that would be nice for your themes. We've had to change a few of them when updating our clifton theme to work with 4.2.

I'm interested too in this matter. I'm trying to theme an ST2 app, and just stuck in how to do a clean override of sencha-list mixin to replace disclosure icon and adjust its background gradient.
Probably redefining the mixin and make sure that is loaded last would do the trick, but yes it's a fork to the current code and is not good.Github https://github.com/vadimpopa

Bug: The widget undefined declares two corners with two different urls
I think the error "The widget undefined declares two corners with two different urls" is a bug in the sencha cmd.
You can fix it by change the Sencha CMD\Sencha\Cmd\184.108.40.2066\screenshot-runner.js line 105 from
PHP Code:
if (!!slices[schema] && slices[schema] != path) {

- Download the latest release (ext-188.8.131.523) at http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/download/
- unzip
- create a new package with the command sencha generate theme my-custom-theme
- copy the file ext-220.127.116.113\packages\ext-theme-neutral\sass\src\toolbar\Toolbar.scss into the new theme ext-126.96.36.1993\packages\my-custom-theme\sass\src\toolbar\Toolbar.scss
- cd into the package directory
- build the theme with the command sencha package build (I'm using Sencha CMD 18.104.22.1686)
6 May 2013 8:43 AM #10
The error occurs because the mixin in ext-theme-neutral gets automatically called with "default" as the UI name, and when you copied the file into your theme, it calls the mixin a second time with "default" as the UI. This results in duplicate rules being generated with different image paths.
In Ext 4.2.1 we will provide sass variables for supressing generation of "default" UIs. For example:
$include-toolbar-default-ui: false;
@include extjs-toolbar-ui( $ui: 'my-custom-ui', ... );Phil Guerrant

During the '90s, I lost a number of family members to cancer, most recently, my mother. I did not know how to mourn these losses that affected a signiFIcant part of my world. I found these pictures began FLowing from me like tears soon after my mother died. I realized this was how I was able to come to terms with what happened, and to cope with a grief I had not experienced before.
In the absence of members of my family due to death or departure, I've been compelled to take on their former roles in I Am My Mother, I Am My Father, I Am My Child. My mother died of cancer; my father departed after her death.
In this closelyknit Family of Angels, the matriarch (my grandmother) died of old age and her three daughters (my mother and two aunts) died of cancer, all within three years of one another.

I'm mashing a small quantity (~3 buckets) of grapes to make wine. I haven't any special equipment, and don't really want to buy any. What should I do to mash the grapes?
migrated from cooking.stackexchange.com Sep 19 '11 at 17:18
This question came from our site for professional and amateur chefs.
Wash the grapes, pour them in a large tub and you can mash them with your bare feet. It takes quite some time though. Afterwards, put everything through a large strainer.
If you don't want to go that old-fashioned, you can always do it like you do when you're making jam. Put some washed grapes in a large, clean towel and squeeze (or push on it with any piece of hard equipment, since grapes are tougher than berries).
Here's what I did last year, and while it works the wine press would be a lot easier. It also costs more money. According to this answer you may be able to rent a wine press, which may fit your needs if you are only doing this once after you read my experience.
First I softened up the grapes by putting them in the bowl of my stand mixer and running it with the flat beater for a few minutes. Then I gave them to my spouse, who squeezed them by hand using a cheese cloth. We were making a white, so we did not put the skins in the must. Our grapes were scuppernog, which are very acidic, and we ended up using latex gloves towards the end because the acidity really hurt our hands. We did about 26 lbs of grapes in about 3 hours - it was a long and not terribly fun process. It took a few cheese cloths. Oh, and we're never doing it again largely because of the initial mashing and mixing steps. But it did work and we did get drinkable wine out of it. If you like that sort of thing it is an option.
By the way, you'll get some good answers on Homebrew.SE for brewing specific questions. Crushing grapes has more culinary applications than just wine, but the rest of your process will fit best there. Check out their wine tag.
I believe that some brew-on-premises stores will lend out or rent out wine presses. It might be worth a few phone calls.
The most interesting "press" that I saw was a pickle bucket with a hole in the side at the bottom, with the lid trimmed to slide into the bucket. A hydraulic car jack was used to press the lid down on the grapes to extract the juice. Much cheaper than a regular press, and I suspect that you could just stand on the lid and get the same effect.
IF this is something you want to do on an ongoing basis the "right equipment" for this task is a fruit/wine press available from amazon or other retailers. These come in a range of prices from a simple tortilla press that can be re-purposed to several hundred dollars (US).
I've never had to crush grapes, but I think that my knowledge of soil compaction might be useful here :
Although a soil tamper might work, I'd be afraid of using one, both for cleanliness (yes, I know feet are the alternative), but they tend to be iron and I'd be concerned about keeping it in an acid for a long time. The important thing about soil tampers is that you let the weight of it work for you ... you lift, and let it drop. You might add a little bit of help as it's dropping, but you don't want to be doing it so much that you tire yourself out.
If you're going to be doing larger batches, I'd look for places in your area that sell wine making or brewing supplies. It might be that they have a press that they rent time on, or might be able to put you in touch with someone who does. If you're doing larger batches, you might try asking local wineries, but I know in my area that zoning for wineries is pretty stupid (they have to be on industrial zoned land to offer a service to others; if they're on agriculturally zoned land, they can only process stuff grown on that property)

New Haven Community Hiring Initiatives
What is the New Haven Hiring Initiatives Program at Yale?
The history and future of Yale University is inextricably tied to the strength and health of the city of New Haven and its economy. Contributing to strong economic growth in New Haven is a priority for Yale—whether as an employer or as a community that directly supports the local economy.
In fall 2012, the New Haven Board of Alderman established New Haven Works—a non-profit organization designed to help unemployed and under-employed New Haven city residents prepare for and find jobs with local employers over the course of four years. As a founding employer and supporter of this initiative, Yale has invested resources to ensure the organization's success.
One such resource is a dedicated program at Yale, New Haven Hiring Initiatives. This program bridges the connection between qualified, pre-screened New Haven Works participants and open positions at the University—working directly with Human Resources and hiring managers to assess candidates. Additionally, the program provides a range of training and skill enhancement opportunities for New Haven Works participants and local youth—whether or not there is a job opening immediately available.
Our goals are to…
- Actively match pre-screened, qualified New Haven Works participants with open positions at Yale, through partnerships with Human Resources, University hiring managers, and Yale Unions.
- Design and create specific job training and mentoring programs.
- Develop alternate pathways to employment, and assist in the specific job-training programs.
- Collaborate with neighborhood groups, community agencies and social service programs to create new opportunities for local residents.
What are the Specific Hiring Initiatives?
The New Haven Hiring Initiatives program works directly with Yale Human Resources, other employers, community agencies, and New Haven Works, to give residents additional career opportunities and provide additional exposure to relevant training and the University workplace. Opportunities include:
- Temporary assignments at Yale
- Collaborating with a network of local community agencies and companies to refer potential employees and receive referrals
- Working with area high schools and colleges to offer and present opportunities (e.g. job fairs, career days, and internships).
- Work with specific University departments to develop internships, externships, job shadowing, mentoring, and apprenticeships, such as:
- Summer internships for local high school and college students
- Ongoing internships with local colleges, universities, and area technical institutes
- Collaborations with local community agencies for mentoring or job shadowing experience
- Externships and apprenticeships
Why Hire New Haven?
Yale is committed to strengthening the foundation needed for economic growth in New Haven—a solid, well-trained workforce. By training and working with local residents, the New Haven Hiring Initiatives program contributes to:
- A more stable city and local economy.
- Improving the overall quality of life in New Haven and revitalizing many neighborhoods.
- Attracting new economic investments and businesses, including technology, manufacturing, bio-science and healthcare companies.
- Filling employment gaps with a skilled workforce.
- Giving Yale hiring managers access to a pool of qualified applicants—through reliable referrals—that they might not have considered otherwise.
- Providing a personalized way for hiring managers to get acquainted with future job applicants.
For New Haven Residents
Consider registering with New Haven Works, or visit Yale job postings.

For Hiring Managers
The New Haven Hiring Initiatives program is committed to ensuring that all job candidates have been pre-screened and acquainted with Yale as a workplace. Ultimately, hiring managers decide on which candidates they'll hire, but ensuring that the pool of candidates is as inclusive as possible for qualified New Haven residents is a priority for the program.
Why should you consider hiring a New Haven Works participant?
- We have worked very closely with each candidate and can provide custom insight about them
- We would only recommend the candidates that have passed Yale's hiring standards.
- All participants have been pre-screened through standard background checks (i.e. criminal).
- All participants have received additional coaching and training to enhance their career skills.
- All participants have been familiarized with the University.
