4-Sight Android 4.0 1GHz IMAP210 32-bit Processor Core TabletIntroducing Android 4.0Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is the latest version of the Android platform for phones, tablets, and more. It builds on the things people love most about Android — easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity — and adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing.
Quick responses for incoming callsWhen an incoming call arrives, you can now quickly respond by text message, without needing to pick up the call or unlock the device. On the incoming call screen, you simply slide a control to see a list of text responses and then tap to send and end the call. You can add your own responses and manage the list from the Settings app.
Main Features
Simple, Beautiful, UsefulRefined, evolved UIFocused on bringing the power of Android to the surface, Android 4.0 makes common actions more visible and lets you navigate with simple, intuitive gestures. Refined animations and feedback throughout the system make interactions engaging and interesting. An entirely new typeface optimized for high-resolution screens improves readability and brings a polished, modern feel to the user interface.
Virtual buttons in the System Bar let you navigate instantly to Back, Home, and Recent Apps. The System Bar and virtual buttons are present across all apps, but can be dimmed by applications for full-screen viewing. You can access each application's contextual options in the Action Bar, displayed at the top (and sometimes also at the bottom) of the screen.
Multitasking is a key strength of Android and it's made even easier and more visual on Android 4.0. The Recent Apps button lets you jump instantly from one task to another using the list in the System Bar. The list pops up to show thumbnail images of apps used recently — tapping a thumbnail switches to the app.
Designed for accessibilityA variety of new features greatly enhance the accessibility of Android 4.0 for blind or visually impaired users. Most important is a new explore-by-touch mode that lets you navigate without having to see the screen. Touching the screen once triggers audible feedback that identifies the UI component below; a second touch in the same component activates it with a full touch event. The new mode is especially important to support users on new devices that use virtual buttons in the System Bar, rather than dedicated hardware buttons or trackballs. Also, standard apps are updated to offer an improved accessibility experience. The Browser supports a script-based screen reader for reading favorite web content and navigating sites. For improved readability, you can also increase the default font size used across the system.
The accessibility experience begins at first setup — a simple touch gesture during setup (clockwise square from upper left) activates all accessibility features and loads a setup tutorial. Once accessibility features are active, everything visible on the screen can be spoken aloud by the standard screen reader.

Passover Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
These quick and easy cookies are chewy and yummy. Though kosher for Passover, they contain no matzo meal, so they're also suitable for someone who's allergic to wheat. It's my modification of a recipe from The Gourmet Jewish Cook by Judy Zeidler.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground almonds
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 12 ounces chocolate chips (1 standard bag)
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Beat eggs and egg whites briefly.
- Mix in all the other ingredients, adding the chocolate chips last.
- Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 min until cookie bottoms are brown, but not burnt.
- Let cool briefly, but remove while still warm.
Most Helpful
The cookies came out really, really great. I did play around with the recipe by adding vanilla and balancing it out with more sugar and ground almonds. My cookies did not really "roll" out but I dropped them by spoon and they spread out and flattened completely. This recipe makes LOTS of cookies.
These cookies are AWESOME. These were such a hit, everyone was asking why I don't bake them during the year! They're my new fave. Recipe could be tweaked to suit your taste (add chopped almonds or cocoa powder for double chocolate cookies, etc.).
Love love love. I made 3 kinds of cookies for our seder this year, and these were by far the best AND the easiest! I flattened them with wet fingers and baked for 14 minutes to golden perfection (one tray at a time, re-heating the oven between batches). Thank you!

In a move to increase their ''political heft'', the transport
committees of Otago and Southland are joining forces to
develop a combined regional land transport plan.
RLTPs outline the roading projects regions want completed
during a three-year period and require national funding.
The present plans run out in 2015, so councils have started
to look at transport priorities for the next three years,
2015 to 2018.
The transport committees of both Otago and Southland regional
councils held a joint meeting last month and decided to
recommend to each council that a joint plan be developed.
''There was a significant amount of enthusiasm for this,''
Otago Land Transport Committee chairman Cr Trevor Kempton
said at a regional council meeting yesterday.
The two regions' roading networks were closely integrated
with most tourists and freight having to go through Otago to
get to Southland.
Projects to be included in plans such as the future of the
Kawarau Falls Bridge were of economic importance to both
Southland's transport budget was about $200 million and
Otago's $400 million, so by combining them, they had the
''political heft'' of $600,000 million, he said.
While the transport plan would be ''joint'', the two regional
transport committees would remain separate bodies.
By adopting the report on the joint transport meeting, the
regional council gave implicit approval to the concept of a
joint plan, chairman Stephen Woodhead said.

The Bush administration makes it harder to get information from the government
Executive Order: Improving Agency Disclosure of Information
President Bush issued an executive order Dec. 14, 2005, titled "Improving Agency Disclosure of Information." The order reaffirms the importance of the Freedom of Information Act as a means for citizens to obtain information about their government. It states that federal agencies' FOIA operations "shall be both results-oriented and
produce results" as a service to citizens.
The new executive order is a puzzling document in the context of the Bush administration's performance on providing information to the public. Each presidential administration issues policy guidance on how to interpret FOIA. The important question is which way agencies should lean when in doubt for or against public
President Clinton issued a memo on FOIA in 1993 that stressed the principle of open government. His administration's message to agencies was that when they were deciding whether to release a document under FOIA, they should stress the public's right to the information.
In other words, when in doubt, release the information.
Former Attorney General John Ashcroft issued a memo on FOIA in 2001 that emphasizes safeguarding national security, enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement, protecting sensitive business information and preserving personal privacy. Discretionary decisions on release of information under FOIA should be made only after full and deliberate consideration of the institutional, commercial and personal privacy interests at stake.
In other words, when in doubt, do not release the information.
The Bush administration's behavior has been uniformly consistent with the Ashcroft memo. We have heard the hullabaloo over Vice President Dick Cheney's refusal to release information about his energy task force.
More recently, the Bush administration rejected congressional requests to provide documents pertaining to newly confirmed Chief Justice John Roberts' actions while working for the president.
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed reducing the amount of information chemical facilities must provide to the public through the agency's Toxics Release Inventory under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986.
Although Hurricane Katrina has elevated public concern about toxic chemical release in plants near New Orleans, the EPA has decided it must reduce the Toxics Release Inventory paperwork burden on chemical companies, raising a public outcry about measures to curtail information to the public.
And many agencies now require a formal FOIA request for information they used to freely provide, such as information on Web sites. The effect is a mind-boggling backlog of FOIA requests that makes the president's new executive order a joke.
In light of the administration's record of excessive secrecy, what are we to make of the new executive order on FOIA? In my judgment, the executive order is window dressing. It is another ploy to distract attention from how the administration consistently denies the public the information it has a right to see.

There is to big of a gap between reality (639 EQ) and fantasy (695 myFICO) for me to justify paying this monthly fee.

Mountains to Molehills:Bullying
Published: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 10:08 a.m.

The Mountains to Molehills reader satisfied that efforts are being made to stop the bullying in schools isn't going to like what James Knox of East Flat Rock has to say about the problem. "My son is in a special needs class because he got behind while being treated for leukemia, and he's being bullied, but after going to the principal probably 10 times to ask that something be done to stop it, I was banned from coming onto school property," he fusses. "Yes, I was ill about it. I raised my voice, and for that I was told to not come back. But my son was threatened with a knife. He had been threatened and jumped on in the bathroom. It was even suggested that my son was lying. I know my kid better than anyone. He used to love school, but the bullying has changed all that. He now comes up with an excuse every day for not going to school. He used to be an honor student. We did everything we were asked to do, but the bullying continued. They need to remove the violent kids. We've gotten our kids help, so why can't the parents of the troublemakers be made to get their kids help? I've even seen parents who have been hit and injured by their own kids. But they just shut me down at the school, and my son is scared."

I just upgraded from 3.21 to 3.3. Upon upgrade, my dashboard immediately went blank, leaving me with no way to add posts, pages, plugins or anything else.
I've read through the troubleshooting master list for solutions. Thus far I have tried the following with no success:
Renaming my plugin folder (thereby disabling any plugins)
Forcing WP to use the Twenty Eleven theme by deleting my others via FTP
What else can I do to get this working again? I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies (I'm not using that popup plugin, nor have I ever). I am using a W3 Cache plugin but, again, when I remove all plugins the dashboard still loaded improperly.
Here is an example of how it looks now.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The only hit Missouri took Saturday was to Kareem Rush's already stitched-up lip.
Rush and the Tigers did a lot more damage to Ohio State.
Unranked heading to the NCAA tournament and lightly regarded by the selection committee, 12th-seeded Missouri put on another dazzling display of offensive punch and rebounding power in an 83-67 upset of the No. 4 Buckeyes in the West Regional.
Now the Tigers are playing like the team that opened the season 9-0 and was ranked No. 2 in the polls in December. And coach Quin Snyder says they might not have peaked.
"Right now, this is an incredibly hungry team," Snyder said. "Every game we play, we've got a chance to get better."
Missouri (23-11) moves into the round of 16 for the first time since 1994. No 12th-seeded team ever has gone beyond the regional semifinals.
Ohio State guard Brian Brown, who led the Buckeyes with 19 points, said Missouri could go much deeper in this tournament.
"Those guys are dangerous because they're unconscious," Brown said. "They shoot the ball whenever they feel like it."
Rush didn't seem bothered by a nasty cut on his lip that required 21 stitches to close. He had 17 points and nine rebounds, while Rickey Paulding scored 20 points and also had nine boards.
Rush was cut Thursday in Missouri's first surprise of the tourney, a 93-80 victory over fifth-seeded Miami.
On Saturday, he was fouled and took another shot to the mouth with just over 4 minutes left. He hit the floor, got up and checked for blood. He shrugged off the hit and proceeded to hit the two free throws.
"Yeah it hurt," Rush said, "but my teammates said 'Don't let them see you hurt.' It's just a busted lip. As long as you don't think about it, it doesn't come into play."
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Amid hooting fans and a harassing defense, Cool Hand Luke kept his composure.
Luke Walton hit a couple of one-handed push shots in the clutch, and third-seeded Arizona staved off Wyoming 68-60 Saturday in the second round of the West Regional.
The son of basketball great Bill Walton scored 21 points and made several nifty passes. Equally important, the junior forward steadied the young Wildcats in front of a crowd that began booing them well before tipoff.
"A hostile environment isn't really going to affect us," Walton said.
Walton stood near halfcourt dribbling out the final seconds as Arizona (24-9) advanced to play the Xavier-Oklahoma winner next Thursday in San Jose, Calif.
The Wildcats reached the round of 16 for the seventh time in the past 12 seasons. They lost last year's NCAA championship game to Duke.
"We don't care if they're cheering for us or against us," said Arizona coach Lute Olson, who doesn't like playing at The Pit. "As you can see, that's what our guys enjoy."
Walton had nine assists, and Channing Frye added 18 points.
Josh Davis and Marcus Bailey each scored 17 points for Wyoming

Very simply, I was wondering if there's a way to keep windows from going off-screen. I want to be able to quickly drag a window all the way to the right and have it automatically be "docked" to the right side, without half of it going off of the visible screen. I don't think there is a Windows registry hack for this, so I'm trying to find a 3rd-party utility. I'm using Windows 7.
allSnap - windows automatically snap to desktop edges and (optionally) the edges of other windows
Have you tried the Windows 7 feature of docking to top/bottom/left/right edges? Just grab the window and take it to any of these hot spots and leave the window.
You want to snap windows to the screen edges, correct?
I haven't tried, but it looks like this could help you.
It looks like Pitaschio has this feature, among other things.
Edit: Revisiting it a year later, it seems to be really buggy with 64-bit applications.
Autohotkey could do this; I'd make the script but I have very little experience with it's window management functions - just enough to know it could pull this off.

Here, Grey brings an open breezy modernity to the plan, masterfully combining Eastern Shingle Style and Craftsman elements suitable for a grand two story family residence set within a California garden. As Pasadena's Victorian-era landscape transitioned into a new, modern world, Grey's application of low-pitched, gabled roof and dormers,

the house no. 1 by Ugo Rondinone, 2012-2014
42 Bachwiesenstrasse, Würenlos, SUI
"the house no. 1" was created by New York-based artist Ugo Rondinone as a "Gesamtkunstwerk", a total work of art and the perfect place for working and living. Each shape and each material used in the "the house no. 1" has its origin in a work of art of the Swiss born artist.
All elements of the house are custom made and reflect the artist's requirement for a functional work-life space. Furthermore the elements reference signature art works of Ugo Rondinone. For example the fireplace in the main living space is a replica of the artists piece "John's fireplace", which has been shown internationally in various exhibitions.

Google Is Removing Links for People Who Want Privacy (in Europe)
But only if they're "inadequate" or "irrelevant."
Following a ruling from a European Court that said people have a "right to be forgotten," Google has started removing offending links from its index today. The ruling was handed down last May and Google has been "working round the clock to comply," the search engine's website says. That process included putting together a "removals team" and collecting requests for link removal on this form.
Requests for link removal require complainants to identify all the links they want scrubbed from Google and argue that those links fit the EU's criteria, which says the information must be "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed."
When a user's request is granted — and it's currently unclear how many people will actually get Google to comply — they get an email from the company and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their boss will never find out about that shameful thing they did years ago — unless their boss uses Bing.

This is driving me insane, and Spotify online support is not helping.
I have a Spotify Premium subscription. I want to make a playlist of some MP3 files that I own available on the Spotify Android app.
I have physical copies of the the MP3 files on my laptop, and on the SD card of my Android device. However, the Android app does not let you add local files.
So on my laptop, I have added these files to a playlist in Spotify (and also made the playlist available offline, on my laptop).
However, if I then go to Spotify on my Android device, find the playlist, and click "download", it will not download them. The files remain greyed out.
This is the case whether my phone is connected over wifi or mobile data.
What can I do?

Ouzo-Poached Cherries With Waffles
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
One of several recipes which were part of an article about using ouzo as an ingredient in Greek recipes, from the October 2005 issue of the cooking magazine 'Australian Good Taste', posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. I have posted the other recipes separately: Chocolate Bullets, Cinnamon & Ouzo Iced Tea, and Watermelon & Feta Salad With Ouzo Dressing.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 (300 g) packet frozen cherries, thawed on paper toweling
- 1 sprig of fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons ouzo
- 2 (180 g) packetsround waffles
- vanilla ice cream, to serve
- Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over a low heat and, stirring, cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar dissolves; increase the heat to high and bring to the boil; add the cherries, mint and ouzo; reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly; remove the mint sprig and discard.
- Warm the waffles in a toaster, divide the waffles among serving plates, top with ice cream and spoon over the cherries and syrup and serve immediately.

WOW, this was excellent! The Ouzo compliments the cherries nicely. I did not drain cherries but cooked longer to reduce the extra juice. We did not use the ice cream as I made these for breakfast this morning. I will be making this again. Thank you for posting the recipe. Made for *Zaar Tag 2008* game
Made these while I still had what I think is a suitable substitute for the ouzo ~ 1 1/2 tablespoons of an anise flavored syrup (for sodas), that I'd used in another recipe recently! These were quick to make & the topping was very nice, BUT another time I'd like to try this with homemade waffles! Still, a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag Game]

I am using WordPress to edit and update the website I run (www.ars.org) and recently did an update of plug-ins and of WordPress itself.
Now I wish I hadn't done this because the title description in news posts is double posted and the new WordPress leaves me without the option to edit this. The footer of the website is displaying html, which I assume must be an error in the script somewhere.
There were no issues before the upgrade. I have a back-up using a the BackupWordpress plug in, but it doesn't give me a restore option and I haven't found anything that tells me how to restore what I saved once I download the .zip file. I have another back up on my hardrive from July, the last back-up the last moderator made before I came along, but I'd really rather not have to redo all the updates that have been made since.
I tried to downgrade by downloading the 3.1.4 version and dragging and dropping those files using FileZilla as explained in a Youtube video, but that didn't seem to work.
The website is functioning, but it doesn't look as put together and my Boss is upset over these issues, as am I.
Is there something I didn't update? Is there something that's not compatible with the new upgrade? If you could please tell me how to find where the issue is and fix it I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, we use the Atahualpa version 3.6.7.

A Groton man who local and federal authorities say was a major cocaine dealer in southeastern Connecticut had help in the drug trade from the unlikeliest of sources - his mother and father.
Pedro "Cheito" Rivera was among nearly 100 people rounded up in a law enforcement operation last month that involved some 700 federal, state and local officials. Authorities said they dismantled overlapping conspiracies that supplied much of the cocaine and heroin that flows into the region from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and New York City.
As part of the investigation, court-authorized wiretaps intercepted phone calls between Rivera and his parents, Juan "Cheo" Rivera-Ortiz and Ivette "Ivy" Pagan-Rodriguez.
Rivera-Ortiz, 68, and Pagan-Rodriguez, 62, were arrested in Morovis, Puerto Rico, as the drug raid here was underway.
"The investigation has revealed that Rivera's parents are instrumental in assisting him in obtaining cocaine in Puerto Rico and shipping it to the New London area," according to a recently released affidavit.
Some of the conversations that led to the trio's arrest were laid out in an affidavit prepared by Special Agent Rod Khattabi of the Department of Homeland Security.
At about 9:19 a.m. on March 29, Rivera called his mother and asked for the tracking number of a package that his parents had sent to Connecticut. Authorities allege that the package contained cocaine, the affidavit said.
Pagan-Rodriguez noted that it was Holy Friday and that it was possible that Rivera would not receive the parcel that day. Holy Friday is a religious holiday in Puerto Rico, and all government offices and most businesses are closed.
"They work here all the time, mom," Rivera replied. "Please quickly so I can call the other one."
At about 9:24 a.m., Rivera received a call from Ricardo Davila Mercado of Groton, who police said assisted Rivera in cocaine trafficking. Rivera told Davila Mercado that the package was arriving that day and that he and his girlfriend needed to be on alert because it was arriving at Davila Mercado's house.
Davila Mercado was also arrested during the drug raid.
At about 9:44 a.m., Rivera called his mother again asking for the tracking number. She told him that she needed to get his father. About 10 minutes later, Rivera-Ortiz texted his son the tracking number, the affidavit said.
Three minutes later, Rivera called his father. Rivera Ortiz asked his son if the package had arrived, and Rivera said it would arrive later in the day.
After learning the tracking number from the wiretap, Postal Inspector Thomas Ardito found the package and took custody of it, and a federal search warrant was obtained.
Inside the package, postal inspectors found about 525 grams of cocaine wrapped in two plastic bundles and stashed inside an empty powdered mix container, the affidavit said.
While the package was in custody of postal inspectors, Rivera called his mother again and questioned if she had put the correct address on the package. Pagan-Rodriguez replied, "Of course."
Later that day, at 3:48 p.m., Rivera called his father and told him that "it" did not arrive and that he was "still waiting."
"But listen, did you guys write down correctly the number, 105," Rivera asked his father.
Rivera Ortiz said, "Yes... of course, one-zero-five," which the affidavit said was a reference to the apartment number where the packaged was supposed to be delivered.
Less than a week after the wiretapped conversations, the region's largest drug enforcement operation took place.

Hi Ronald,
I know you're super busy finishing your last semester, but I've been struggling with your Podcasting plugin (latest version 1.5 for WP2.5) to get it to accept m4a audio files (enhanced AAC). I just can't get it to recognize the file extension. Is this plugin for mp3 podcasts only?
Also when trying to link a mp3 podcast, the Send to Editor button does nothing (code view). No code is inserted in the post. Do I just need to reference the file link with [podcast][/podcast] or is there anything new with the new Shortcode API?
Thanks for answering and don't skip your homework ;)
Kind regards,

In the Region/Connecticut; Adding New Gallery at Florence Griswold Museum
By ELEANOR CHARLES
Published: June 30, 2002
AN 11-acre section of Old Lyme that was once at the heart of the artists' colony known as the American Giverny or the American Barbizon has added another reason for art lovers to visit with the construction of an innovative new wing to the onetime boarding house that is now the Florence Griswold Museum.
At a cost of almost $6 million, an unusual expansion project designed by Chad Floyd and a team of colleagues at Centerbrook Architects and Planners in nearby Centerbrook has been completed on the property, which has national landmark status.
Bridging an architectural gap of 185 years, the designers have created a subtle symbiosis between the museum, a yellow 1817 Federal mansion, and the decidedly contemporary, stark white Krieble Art Gallery just completed on the grounds and ready to open on Tuesday. It contains three exhibition halls, a museum shop and climate-controlled storage and study areas within its 9,500 square feet.
In a further blending of time periods, the gallery has been joined at a rear corner with a 3,000-square-foot colonial home built in the 1940's, giving the museum space needed for offices, programs and a future restaurant.
Spread over the grounds are gardens with fixed borders and casual plantings of phlox, lupins, foxglove, iris, viburnum, gypsophilia, hollyhocks and other flowers, copied from paintings, land records and photographs of the gardens as they looked around 1915.
Sheila Werthheimer, the museum's historic landscaper, and an army of 30 dedicated volunteers who did the strenuous work chose to replicate a time when the American Impressionist movement was at its peak in Old Lyme and artists from New York boarded at the Griswold house each summer, painting pictures of the house, the gardens, the surrounding countryside, local people and each other.
New parking areas, roadways and walkways have been built to accommodate visitors, and a new courtyard performance venue behind the joined gallery and offices overlooks the Lieutenant River and a vista of grassy marshlands and trees beyond it.
Named for two of its benefactors, Robert and Nancy Krieble, the gallery will open with an exhibition featuring some of the 192 American paintings given earlier this month to the museum by the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company. Anticipating change when it merged with the American International Group in 2000, Hartford Steam Boiler decided that the new Griswold gallery was the best place to keep the collection intact and provide full public access rather than limited viewing in insurance offices.
The notable collection of American artists from Ralph Earl to Milton Avery dates from the mid-1700's to the early 1980's. Paintings by the Griswold artists, until now displayed under marginal conditions on the second floor of the house, have been transferred to the new gallery and storage rooms as well. Sparked by the gallery opening, a celebratory mood at the museum belies a quarter century of arduous fund-raising, planning and land purchases negotiated by the Florence Griswold Association and Jeffrey W. Andersen, the museum's executive director for the last 26 years.
In 1936 when Florence Griswold could no longer maintain the house left to her in the 19th century by her father, a clipper ship captain, the entire 12-acre estate -- 5,000 square foot house, outbuildings and gardens -- was sold at auction for $18,550 to Robert McCurdy Marsh, an appellate judge from New York. Miss Florence was then able to pay off her creditors and the judge gave her life tenancy and a small stipend for living expenses, but she died the following year.
Her possessions, including a trove of paintings done by her summer boarders, were auctioned and scattered across the country. All that remained in the house were whimsical images and landscapes painted directly on the interior doors and walls of the dining room. They are still there.
Retrieval of paintings and furnishings has been difficult. ''We tracked down paintings through auction records, family and friends,'' Mr. Andersen said. ''A dining room table, for example, was found in Manistee, Mich., and a drawer had some of the auction records.''
For five years the house stood empty and deteriorating, until, in 1941, the Florence Griswold Association bought it back with three-fifths of an acre for $5,750, turning it into a historical house museum. Meanwhile, the judge had built the large colonial home that is now museum offices, but sold it in the 50's to a family, which in turn sold it in the 80's, after which the museum acquired it among other purchases of original estate parcels totaling $1.4 million. All but an acre has been reclaimed.
Although Captain Griswold kept the property in excellent condition, by the time the artist Henry Ward Ranger discovered it in 1899, the difficulties Miss Florence faced in maintaining it by herself were evident. But he was enthralled, calling it ''a landscape waiting to be painted.'' He became a boarder and was soon followed by a parade of artists: Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, William Chadwick, Guy Wiggins, Frank Vincent Dumond, Robert and Bessie Potter Vonnoh.

The annual ACIA Awards have been running since 2008 with an objective to recognise and reward excellence in the field of crime and intelligence analysis in the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Some of the core aims of ACIA - to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, to develop analytical skills, and to constructively challenge and support our peers, are encapsulated perfectly by the ACIA Awards Programme. Recognising and rewarding people's efforts and providing a forum for sharing this, is key to what ACIA stands for.
The awards are open to any crime or intelligence analyst, researcher or team, working in the public or private sector. Anyone can nominate an analyst or researcher for an award including analysts or researchers themselves. The awards are open to ACIA members and non-members alike and are free to enter.
Nominations can be for analytical work which impacts at a local, regional or national level and is an opportunity to have your work recognised by your peers and to share best practice with the intelligence analysis community.
The ACIA Awards Programme has always had a very high calibre of a panel of esteemed judges that help to make the awards judging credible and independent. Previous and current judges include; Dr. Shane Johnson from the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science; Chief Constable Giles York, Chair of the National Analyst Working Group; Prof. Betsy Stanko from the Metropolitan Police Service; Simon Bradwell, GCHQ; Mr Andrew Kent from the Home Office Research and Analysis Unit; Mr Mark Evans from the New Zealand Police Service; Karyn McCluskey Director of Scottish Violence Reduction Unit and Mr Jack Wraith, CEO of the Telecoms UK Fraud Forum (TUFF).
As well as the prestige of winning the Award there is also a prize. Prizes in previous years have included £1,000 of Apple vouchers, advanced analysis courses, a stay in a luxury hotel and attendance at a red carpet movie premiere event. Winners also receive an ACIA certificate and trophy, and if a suitable category exists, automatic entry to the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA) Awards.

In the following dedicatory poem, which first appeared in the second edition of Paradise Lost, the poet Andrew Marvell praises his contemporary's bold and original effort that has "not miss'd one thought that could be fit" and whose greatness is in no way diminished for being in blank and not rhyming verse.
When I beheld the Poet blind, yet bold, In slender Book his vast Design unfold, Messiah Crown'd, God's Reconcil'd Decree, Rebelling Angels, the Forbidden Tree, Heav'n, Hell, Earth, Chaos, All; the Argument Held me a while misdoubting his Intent, That he would ruine (for I saw him strong) The sacred Truths to Fable and old Song (So Sampson groap'd the Temples Posts in spight) The World...

Damian Cassidy (born 22 July 1965) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer and a former manager.
He played for Derry in the 1980s and 1990s and was part of the county's 1993 All-Ireland Championship winning side, starting at left half forward.[3] He also won two Ulster Senior Championship medals,[4] three National League titles,[5] and a range of under-age inter-county medals with the county. Cassidy played his club football for Bellaghy Wolfe Tones and won five Derry Championships[1] and the 1994 Ulster Senior Club Football Championships with the club.[4] For both club and county he usually played as a forward. Cassidy was also a talented hurler.[1]
Since retiring from playing football he has managed a number of teams. He guided home-club Bellaghy to success in the 2005 Derry Championship, and Tyrone club Clonoe O'Rahilly's to the Tyrone Championship in 2008. He was the manager of the Derry Senior from 2008 to 2010 and Under 21 teams. His brother Joe also played for Derry.[6]
Football career[edit]
Playing style[edit]
Cassidy played the majority of his career in the forward line (corner forward for Bellaghy[1] and half forward for Derry), but also had a spell in the half back line early in his career.[7] Adrian McGuckin who coached him at St. Pat's, Maghera said he had a superb left foot and was very comfortable on the ball.[8] GAA journalist and former Derry team-mate Joe Brolly said that despite the presence of many other great footballers at the time, Cassidy at his peak "was easily the best club footballer in Derry".[9]
Cassidy was part of the Derry Minor side that won the 1983 Ulster Minor and All-Ireland Minor Championships.[3][4] Cassidy scored 2–03 (2 goals and 3 points—each goal equals 3 points; 2 × 3 + 3 = 9 points, see GAA scoring rules) in the Ulster minor final victory over Monaghan. He scored 0–04 from left half forward in the All-Ireland semi-final victory over Galway,[10] before going on to defeat Cork in the decider, playing at left half forward. He also won back-to-back Ulster Under 21 Championships with the Derry Under 21 side in 1985 and 1986.[4] In 1985 Derry Under 21s were defeated by Cork in the All Ireland Under 21 Championship final and by Cork in the 1986 All-Ireland semi-final.
He made his Derry Senior debut straight out of Minors the following year (1984)[7] and was on the 1987 Ulster Senior Football Championship winning team, at right corner forward.[11] The side defeated Armagh in the final. In 1992 Cassidy was part of the Derry panel that won the National League.[12] It was 1992 until Cassidy and Derry got back to an Ulster final, however this time they were beat by Donegal. Derry however defeated Donegal in the 1993 Ulster decider and went on to win the 1993 All-Ireland Championship with a semi-final victory over Dublin and a final victory over Cork. The success was the county's first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Cassidy won further National League medals in 1995 and 1996.[5]
At underage level with Bellaghy he won Derry Under 16 (1981) and Derry Minor Championships.[1] He made his Senior debut for the club in 1982. He won his first Derry Senior Football Championship medal with Bellaghy in 1986,[1] with victory over Ballinderry in the final; Bellaghy also won the league that year. Despite Bellaghy not reaching the final, Cassidy was the Derry Championship's top-scorer in 1991, with a total haul of 4–06 (18 points).[13] The club won the Derry Championship again in 1994, and also won that year's Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.[12] The club went on to contest the 1995 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final against Kilmacud Crokes of Dublin. Bellaghy were beat by three points and unfortunately for Cassidy he missed a vital penalty late in the match.[1] Cassidy won further Derry Championship medals with the club in 1996,[1] 1998[1] and 1999[1] —winning Derry league medals in the latter two years as well. Bellaghy were also Ulster Club runners-up in 1996[14] and 1998. He was awarded the man of the match accolade in both the 1994 and 1999 Derry Championship finals.[13] Cassidy won player of the tournament in the All Ireland 7's hosted by Kilmacud in Dublin in 1996. He was also on the 7's team that won the All Ireland 7's in 1986. Cassidy won Player of the Tournament at the 1997 Castlewellan 7's, which Bellaghy won.[15] Cassidy retired in 1999.[16]
Cassidy won three MacRory Cup medals in 1982, 1983 and 1984 whilst at St. Patrick's College, Maghera (secondary school).[4] He also played hurling for the college and won a Mageean Cup in 1984.
Management career[edit]
|Club management
|Inter-county management
Cassidy was Derry assistant manager[5] to Eamonn Coleman from 2000 until 2002. Derry won the National League in 2000 and got to the All-Ireland semi-final in 2001. Following the resignation of Coleman in July 2002, Cassidy said he was not interested in becoming Derry manager.[17] Mickey Moran in the end succeeded Coleman. In late 2002, Cassidy was linked with the vacant Antrim manager's job, but rejected it.[18] The post eventually went to PJ O'Hare.[18]
Following illness to then Cavan manager Eamonn Coleman before the start of the 2005 Championship, assistant Martin McElkennon became acting-manager and Cassidy became McElkennon's assistant. He described his position as a "consultancy role", but was assigned an assistant manager / coach's role the following year.[19]
In 2008 he applied for the vacant Derry Senior football manager's job.[20] Cassidy was announced as new Derry boss late on 7 October 2008.[21] His backroom team will include former Antrim star Kevin Madden, as well as Martin McConnell, Brendan McCrory and goalkeeping coach Kevin O'Neill.[21]
He managed the Senior and Under-21 teams of St. Teresa's Loughmacrory in 2003[22] and led the club to the Tyrone Under 21 Championship title.[23]
Cassidy became Bellaghy manager for the 2004 season[24] and managed them to the county final of 2004 where they lost to Slaughneil by 2 points. He also secured the league title in the same season. They captured 2005 Derry Championship title and they also reached the final of that year's Ulster Club Championship.[22][25][26] Then reached the Derry final again in 2007 under his leadership, but lost by a point to Glenullin after a replay. He announced in December 2007 that he was stepping down as Bellaghy boss.[27]
He was appointed manager of Tyrone club Clonoe O'Rahilly's in January 2008.[22][28] He successfully guided the club to success in the 2008 Tyrone Championship, the club's first title since 1991. They shocked[29] the "big two" of Tyrone club football – Errigal Ciarán and Carrickmore in the first round and quarter-final respectively.[30][31] Clonoe then defeated Donaghmore to progress to their first Championship final in 17 years.[32] They faced defending champions Dromore in the final, who went in as red-hot favourites.[29] However, Clonoe beat Dromore by a point after extra time. The feat is all the more remarkable, considering Clonoe are a very young team[29] and have no Tyrone county players on the team.[29] They were however beaten by St. Eunan's of Donegal in the quarter-final of the 2008 Ulster Club Championship.[33] Cassidy was reappointed manager of Clonoe O'Rahilly's in 2011, where he guided them back into the Tyrone championship final against Dromore, a repeat of the 2008 final, this time Dromore got their revenge winning by a point. In 2012 he guided Clonoe to their first All County Senior League title, defeating Coalisland in the final. In 2013 he once more lead Clonoe O' Rahilly's to senior championship success, beating Carrickmore in the final. He quickly followed this up with winning the U21 county title and then the Ulster U21 championship with Clonoe, defeating Truagh Gaels of Monaghan. 2015 the O' Rahilly's recaptured the All County Senior League title for the second time in their history under Cassidy'd stewardship.

By Mr. Kevin Stabinsky (IMCOM)March 26, 2010
Thanks to the Fort Gillem Getaway club and its staff, supporting the troops can be a noble, as well as fun, cause.
On the third Friday of each month, from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m., the Getaway club staff hosts a "Blue Lights in the Basement" old school jam for Soldiers, Family members, Civilian employees and other guests to provide quality entertainment in a friendly atmosphere. As the title suggests, the event caters to the older crowd.
It features a selection of 70s and 80s music spun by DJ Gee Money, an Atlanta-area disc jockey, said Simone Smith, Getaway club hostess.
"This is here to serve the existing community," she said of the U.S Army Garrison Directorate of Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR) sponsored event. "DFMWR carries and supports bases."
Jim Stanyard, Getaway club manager, said the club has been running dance and music nights for about eight years in support of the community.
However, recent advances, such as the ability to advertise online through social networking Web sites, have helped increase knowledge about the program. Additionally, a larger increase in print advertisement in the forms of flyers and posters were distributed.
Such increases were deemed necessary due to the influx of Soldiers coming onto the base, said Stanyard.
"Reservists are doing lot of training here recently, and we want to give them somewhere to go rather than downtown," Stanyard said.
Although Reservists training on post may have been a target for the program, other groups are just as likely to come in and enjoy the good times.
Retired sergeant Terry Hynes heard about the event from a friend and decided it would be a good chance to reconnect with some of his former friends still active with the military.
"I can see people I haven't seen in a while and have a good time, he said. "It's a place to relax and unwind. I have no complaints."
The compliments come from more than just the patrons. The Getaway club staff is also enjoying the revitalization and interest in the club.
"Morale's way up thanks to Jim (Stanyard), who gives lots of support," said Santana Ladson, bar manager.
On average, Stanyard said the event typically attracts between 100 and 125 people. While Stanyard's advertising push may have helped bring the program out into the mainstream, it is the services provided by club staff that keep people happy and coming back.
Patrons looking for an energy boost to get them back on the dance floor can enjoy food, such as fish sandwiches, hot and spicy chicken wings, ribs and smoked sausage, Ladson said. Beverages, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic, are also available for those working up a parched throat.
"We have reasonable prices and a pleasant environment," Ladson said. "Our customers are our family."
"The costs are lower (due to DFMWR) so people can save money," Stanyard added. Admission costs are $3 for ID holders and $7 for non-ID holders.
Natasha Hill, a writer for "Florida Today," said the lower prices were a bonus to everything else she experienced on her visit to the area.
"It was nice to hear old music again. The atmosphere is relaxing and the drinks were pretty cheap," she said. "I'm glad with all going on in the world there's a little bit of escape, a place to relax."
Hill learned of the event through her friend, Eric White, a film journalist with NBC and former Marine Reservist.
As a former member of the military, he said it is important to support the troops. Events like the jam allow him to do so while having a good time with friends.
"It's a good way to fellowship," he said. "It gives an extra dimension to the party, to have fun and be patriotic."
Hill agreed, adding when she first came she didn't know about that the event helped fund recreation activities for Soldiers, but was glad to learn it did.
"It definitely went beyond my expectations," White said.
"It's a no-nonsense environment with less drama than out in the civilian world," Ladson added. "We're all here to have a good time, all adults and a more mature audience."
Besides the jam, the club staff also runs additional events, said Stanyard. The first Friday of each month features a birthday bash where people can enjoy their birthday with cake provided by the club, Stanyard said.
Attendees only need to inform the club and be responsible for their own refreshments. During the workweek, the club staff offers lunch and can accommodate events such as hail and farewells, balls and retirements, Stanyard said.
Additionally, Ladson said, the club staff may try to get karaoke back on the fourth Friday of the month.
Such events will continue to run into 2011, Stanyard said. The Getaway club is on a phase-out timeline similar to First Army's Base Relocation and Closure Act schedule.
"People should supports DFMWR because the money goes right back to the Soldiers," Stanyard said. "We want to take care of our Soldiers and their Families."

- How long should I wait before accepting an answer?
- Remind new users to choose some answers?
- Should we respond to questions asked by users with 0% accept rates?
It's often not immediately clear that an answer to a question you've posed will prove "acceptable". It may be necessary to test the advice provided by the answer to make sure it works; it may be a less than perfect solution (but ultimately the best one possible); or there may be another reason why question posers wish to wait some length of time before accepting a proposed answer. After a while it can be quite time-consuming to go through all of one's unaccepted questions in order to remember which one(s) you were planning to take another look at.
I'm suggesting improving the current binary choice of a) putting the question in the back of your mind where it may or may not be thought about for the next month, or b) accepting a mediocre answer in order to avoid having unaccepted questions pile up. I'd like there to be some way to specify, on a per-question basis and/or as a global per-user setting, that I'd like to be reminded to answer a question a given amount of time after an answer was provided. I think this makes more sense as a per-question choice, maybe with a customizable default, because the nature of the question often determines how long it's useful to wait for the "right" answer. It's also often dependent on the particular answer given.
I'm thinking that a dropdown box with choices like "1 day", "1 week", "1 month", etc. would be enough, but maybe something more customizable would be worth the trouble. What do people think about this?
