At the end of the Cold War, and not since the Roman Empire, America became the world's sole superpower. America experienced an enormous sense of relief that perhaps led to arrogance. Then came 9/11, showing that it could no longer define the rules of the game and leading us along courses of action that proved to be profoundly self-defeating. If American leadership remains necessary, it needs to return to being inspirational and not dictatorial, acting as a catalyst in world affairs and simultaneously helping the American public and institutions regain their confidence. We will discuss how America can accomplish this. Registration is required. Limited to 30.
Topics include all aspects of art in a variety of mediums. Included are unconventional and lesser known artists, such as M.C. Escher and Isamu Noguchi, and some you may not know like a Man named Pearl. Your comments and knowledge are welcome in the discussion that will follow the films. Please note that we start the films at 1 PM.
Count Waldstein, one of Beethoven's most important patrons, wrote the following words as Beethoven settled in Vienna as a pupil of Joseph Haydn: "Through uninterrupted diligence you will receive Mozart's spirit through the hands of Haydn." Please join Bob Seyfried and Professor Leo Eylar of the CSUS Department of Music as they together explore the development of the High Classical Style of Mozart and Haydn to its apex in the epoch-changing monumental works of Beethoven. This seminar will feature both lectures and live performances. A field trip to the Beethoven Museum in San Jose will also be considered. A DONATION OF $20 WILL BE COLLECTED FROM BOTH PRESENTERS AND ATTENDEES.
Each participant will be provided a tree (including other materials) to work on. A $30 lab fee must be paid when you register. You must provide materials for other trees you want to work on. The seminar will include lectures, work on trees and field trips. Limited to 15.
To be inside a Gothic cathedral is to experience the visual essence of Christianity as: centers of ecclesiastical authority; marvels of architectural genius and innovation; places to instruct communities about Christian values; and sites of political, cultural, intellectual and economic importance. Cathedrals possess a spiritual, artistic and historical grandeur that deserves to be experienced and felt by everyone. This DVD course tours Saint-Denis, Notre Dame de Paris, Chartres, Amiens, Laon, and Reims, and follows the spread to Germany, Italy, England, Spain, Czech Republic, and the New World, including modern net-gothic buildings. Short class presentations and discussions after each 30-minute DVD presentation. Registration by email is encouraged.
This course will begin by the leader using historical stories to explain the background, intrigues and politics of the development of Qin, which produced the first emperor of China. These stories and events will illuminate this magnificent era and how it influenced the remaining dynasties in China. The first emperor's tomb contains well over 5,000 life-sized figures known as the Terra Cotta Warriors. Participants are encouraged to give presentations, which could be memories, photos, observations and experiences of their travels to China or the Terra Cotta Warriors.
We will study and discuss the causes and consequences of the Economic Crises of 1929 and 2007. Topics include crisis, John Maynard Keynes, Bernie Sanders reforms, Thomas Piketty and economic inequality. Using video, presentations and dialogue.
Tired of romantic comedies that are hackneyed, mushy, and predictable? This is the class for you! Focusing on little-known indie and foreign RomComs, we'll begin our exploration of the genre with films that follow the standard boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-wins-girl-back formula. Then we'll branch out into films that bend or even break the formula. We'll watch parody, thriller, parallel universe and time travel RomComs. There will be shorts, musicals, animation, ballroom dancing and a RomCom with scenes set in Sacramento. We''l even watch a RomCom with zombies!
Great Decisions is a nationwide program designed to encourage debate of U.S. foreign policy issues. The Great Decisions Briefing Book ($22, available at Rendezvous and the first class session) provides background information about U.S. foreign policy objectives and relationships with other nations. Class begins at 1 p.m., with optional relevant videos shown at 12:20, beginning prior to the third class session. Topics will be: Middle East, The Rise of ISIS, The Future of Kurdistan, Migration, The Koreas, The United Nations, Climate Change, and Cuba and the U.S. The format will include discussion and required presentations by most participants. Limited to 25.
Can you identify these characters in history? They left the Rift Valley 1.9 million years B.C.E. He invented a religion and walked to Mesopotamia. She tried to be the first woman to fly 40,000 km. He found passage, sailed the Pacific, got killed. In the 1400s, he rode camels through Africa and the Levant. In the 1400s, he built giant ships, then burned them. They were first to climb Everest: one died, one lived. He was a mercenary who abused natives and became famous. Desert born, he conquered Asia and Europe. There are many more fascinating explorers in history. If you want to participate, pick one and give a brief report to your fellow classmates. If YOU have a favorite Great Explorer, you may tell THAT story!!
This class will require weekly, advance readings of articles from "happiness" experts. Assigned reading will be emailed or provided in advance of each class. Videos, including select TED talks, will be used to jump start discussions around questions such as these: What is happiness? Is it an emotion? A state of mind? Is it the same thing as pleasure? Purpose? Where do our emotions come from? What's going on in our brains when we're happy, sad, angry or …in love? We will learn from psychologists, sociologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers. Be prepared to reflect about how their theories and ideas fit, or don't fit, in your life, actively listen and engage in what will be enlightening discussions!
Through extensive videos and photos, we'll explore some innovative and exciting 20th and 21st century architecture, including materials and new design concepts. We'll look at the works of renowned architects like Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas and Norman Foster, and meet architects who build everything from temporary shelters to cathedrals using paper tubes, sand and bamboo. We'll explore innovative adaptive reuse of structures like the New York High Line and advances in energy and sustainable designs like solar-powered homes. No presentations required.
This seminar provides a casual environment to support and develop existing intermediate level Spanish reading and speaking skills. Participants will need a basic understanding of Spanish vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. Each week the seminar will include two parts. During the first part, participants will share in reading aloud and translating from a textbook novel selected by the class. During the second part, participants will share individual writings on various topics to improve writing and speaking skills. There will most likely be two books purchased at $6 each. This is a participation class. Limited to 11.
Axis of evil or possible ally in dealing with ISIS? With the current world situation, it is important to know and understand our possible enemy or friend. There is much to know about Iran that is not reported in our media. This class is participatory. Its success depends on students' willingness to do a little research and report to the class. A very interesting class is guaranteed.
The Silk Road was just one of many trade routes used to transport goods; the Mediterranean also played in important role in trade and exchange of cultures in ancient time. This class will delve into the ancient trading routes and societies of the Mediterranean—who and what they were, what goods were traded and with whom and how these cultures help us to understand the origins and development of modern society. Presentations by participants will be welcome and encouraged.
Whether writing a life story for your children and grandchildren or trying your hand at commercial memoir, your stories beg to be told. This class will provide basic guidelines on writing about your life experiences. Following in the tradition of Renaissance's original Writing Personal Histories seminar (led by Fred Chapman), this class encourages participants to produce and read aloud up to 800 words weekly in a safe environment. Participants share distant or recent experiences. Discussion helps all to see what works and to provoke ideas for future stories. Writers at all levels and of all genres welcome. Registration is required. Limited to 15.
Since the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, literally millions of civil and criminal trials have been conducted in American courts. This semester's seminar, which will focus on different cases from those covered last semester, is designed to make the law understandable to those of us who are not legal professionals. We will look at the most significant cases: the set of facts about the trials, the circumstances that led to the trials and the results. The discussions will help with our understanding of these important cases and their significance on the American judicial system, political controversy and historic or legal precedent. Participants are encouraged to research and make a presentation; however, this is not required. New and exciting: this semester, participants will have an opportunity to take part in a MOCK TRIAL. In addition to reading and discussing cases you will actually be able to go through the experience.
This course will screen a varied selection of mostly British-made and two French-made films made about the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic War, World War One, the Russian Revolution, World War Two and several post-Second World War films, the last about the current Afghanistan war from a British perspective. They range from satire, effectively done war propaganda, anti-war, patriotic, and those without an obvious message, apart from entertainment. They were made from 1932 to 2014. Three of the films will be in color; the others are in black and white. Audience participation in film discussion will follow each screening. 1. An Ungentlemanly Act; 2. The One That Got Away; 3. A Prize of Arms; 4. Sea of Sand; 5. Yangtze Incident; 6. Waterloo; 7. Kajaki; 8. The Devil's Disciple; 9. Wooden Crosses; 10. La Marseillaise; 11. The 49th Parallel; 12. The Two-Headed Spy; 13. Knight Without Armour.
"Gotta be rock 'n' roll music if you wanna dance with me!" Explore the influences, roots and development of traditional rock 'n' roll music, those years leading up to and including the genre's prime during the 1950s and early '60s. Subjects include early rhythm and blues, rockabilly and doo wop. Other sessions may include the popular teen idols, dance crazes, one-hit wonders, the roots of soul music and others, plus a couple of new classes being developed for this semester. Little Richard, the Shirelles, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Dion and the Belmonts, the Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, a kid from Memphis named Elvis, they're all here, plus Bob's Bonus Tracks. No presentations required.
Man and microbes have co-existed since the beginning of time, but full realization of our interaction has been a relatively recent development. This course will trace the evolution of our understanding, from vague recognition of cause-and-effect through the development of so-called miracle drugs and then our awareness of the threat of so-called super germs. You need not have a background in biology or clinical studies, but just a general interest in the subject. Some voluntary reading will be helpful, and individual presentations are encouraged, but not required.
People wore hats, chain-smokers woke the world with their hacking, and Benny Goodman was on the radio. "Brilliant"—NY Review of Books. "Powerful and dazzling"—The New Republic. "Luminous"—Philip Roth. Read and discuss (How'd he do that?) these dazzling, accessible stories (including Goodbye, My Brother; The Swimmer; and The Enormous Radio). Learn about Cheever's complex life ("a man who has homosexual instincts and genuinely detests homosexuals"). Text: The Stories of John Cheever, Vintage International Edition (4-20-11), winner Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, 1979. Recommended: Cheever A Life, Blake Bailey.
Let's get together and share our favorite destinations in and around Sacramento. There is so much to see in our own backyard. We have really big trees. There's a huge ocean and a very big lake just a few hours away. There are three National Parks, a National Seashore and a National Monument waiting for our attention. There are museums big and small scattered all over Northern California. We have art tours and walks throughout our region. I would like to share some of my favorite trips and hear about yours. Class participation greatly appreciated. Limited to 30.
This is an exciting seminar exploring many topics of the Civil War, such as causes of the war, technology and the war, key leaders, literature that emerged from the war, critical battles along with the life of the common soldier. I will lecture much of the time and also ask some class members to give short reports. This is an update to a class I gave last spring. You will have the chance in class to touch history—I will bring authentic weapons and memorabilia from my extensive collection. Add in guest speakers, and we will have an interesting class. Limited to 30.
Most can only name a few recent Vice Presidents; though 47 VPs have been elected. We'll explore the requirements of the Vice President Office and how it has evolved since the constitutional era. Many served a term or two, several became President with the sitting President's death or resignation, and some were later elected President. We will research each VP to discover: their politics and families; what they did during and after their terms; and other interesting facts about them. This is a participatory seminar. Our success depends on class members willing to research and make a short report.
The Aeneid is a Roman response to Homer's Greek heroes. I will be using the Fagles translation published by Penguin, but other translations are welcome. The first assignment is Book One, about 30 pages. Participants are expected to have read the assignment and come prepared for discussion. Registration is required. Limited to 15.
Describe your own creative ability through the beauty and excitement of transparent watercolor painting. Ability to draw is helpful, but this semester is for beginning to advanced students. Members of the class will do some instruction in the principles and elements of design. Students may choose their own projects. Class members will critique completed paintings, if desired; guests and experienced artist will be invited. Tony Couch You Can Do It text is provided for $20 but is not required. Limited to 31.
The lecture/discussion of the Pacific War will begin with attention to the watershed events in Japan's history from 1853 through Dec. 7,1941. A more detailed examination of events from Dec. 7 through Aug. 15, 1945, will follow emphasizing: Japan's "victory disease" and the consequences at Midway, Guadalcanal and the Mariana Islands; its illogical end-game for the termination of the war; its preparation for the war in the home islands concurrent with a flawed "peace" proposal; finally, a discussion regarding whether the atom bomb (one or two) should have been used.
On a weekly basis class members are to prepare for reading out loud in class a paper of approximately 1,200 words regarding their personal experiences during the years of 1941 and 1945. Participants include members of the armed services, their spouses and children. Also, people from other countries during that period, internees, POWs, conscientious objectors, defense workers. At the end of the first semester or the second the goal is to publish a collection of the histories. This cohort is dying out and if not written down their histories will be lost forever. Limited to 15.
If you always wanted to write a series of short stories about your life, but never got around to actually writing, this is the class for you. Writing styles are not taught or critiqued. However, presentations by fellow participants will prompt recall or memories and help generate ideas for your own stories. Each short story, or portions of longer tales read over several sessions, should not be much longer than 800 words. Participants will be expected to write a story and read it each session, but participants should attend even if not making a presentation for a particular session. Limited to 15.
The Greek culture has been the model from which European and American cultures have evolved. It has been the idea for our architecture, statuary, philosophy, government, musical theory, drama and language. Let me share the Greek beginnings of our western civilization with you. Sharing this knowledge is a wonderful way to spend your Saturday mornings. There will be a 92-page syllabus for $15. Registration is required.
Think of the vast changes in popular music since we were teens. Then imagine how much music has evolved since the 1890s. This class surveys the shifting trends in America's most popular music by listening to the top artists and recordings of each decade. From the very first recordings to the synthesized digital tracks of today, we explore connections between each decade's best sellers and the social environment in which they were produced. How did war stoke the fires of ragtime, jazz and swing? What distinguishes pre-1955 music from post-1955 music? Join us to find out. No presentations required. This is a drop-in seminar.

Hospice CEO announces resignation
Published: Friday, January 4, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2008 at 3:10 p.m.
The president and chief executive officer of Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care announced her resignation from the agency Thursday.
Cherry Meier's resignation is effective Jan. 31.
Meier has led the organization since November 2006. Meier was able to guide the agency through the transition period after the resignation of longtime CEO Chris Comeaux.
"The board is appreciative of Cherry's many contributions to the organization during her tenure and we wish her the best in her future endeavors," said Adam Shealy, chairman of the board of directors. "She will always be a part of the Four Seasons family."
He added that a search committee has already been formed to begin the process of finding a new CEO. The process is expected to take about six months.
Dr. John Morris, palliative care medical director, and Honey Miller, vice president of clinical services, will serve as interim co-CEOs.
Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care, a non-profit organization, serves individuals with chronic, serious or life-limiting conditions while offering support to their families and loved ones.
Four Seasons Hospice, located on South Allen Road in Flat Rock, includes the Elizabeth House, an inpatient hospice facility. With more than 25 years in Henderson County, Four Seasons Hospice has served more than 7,000 patients.

April's XBLA games listed (nearly)
360Sync's reporting that Rocky and Bullwinkle will be available for download on April 16 from XBLA for 800 MS Points.
Sega has also apparently confirmed that Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm 'should' be out on the April 23.
Also, you might remember that we reported Ikaruga's arrival next Wednesday for what should be 800 Points if Rez is the benchmark price for these Dreamcast rehashes.
And putting all that information in order, we've come up with this:
- Ikaruga – April 9
- Rocky and Bullwinkle – April 16
- Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm – April 23
Just one missing, then. Woot.

Don't Play Scrabble With Robertson
Erin Robertson learned soon after meeting her future husband, David, that Sunday night Scrabble or Monopoly was probably a bad idea.
"He's always been the most competitive person I've ever met. He loves to win, which is why being on the Yankees is such a great fit for him. He has to win—we can't play board games because I usually win, and he can't take that. So we just don't play. He hates losing anything," Erin Robertson said.
"Even on the Old Timers' Day cruise, there was a raffle, and he was all bummed that he didn't win that," his wife said, shrugging her shoulders as if to say, 'Hey, I married the guy. I can't complain.'"
It may not work for game night, but that hyper-competitiveness has served the Yankee reliever well this season, as he establishes himself as one of the top relief arms in the game and gradually gains a national profile.
Robertson entered Thursday with a 1.05 ERA and an astronomical 55 strikeouts in 34.1 innings. His teammates call him Houdini for his daredevil pitching—he'll walk a batter or two and then strike out the side, usually punctuating the final out with a ferocious fist pump. He has locked down the main setup role in the absence of pricey free agent Rafael Soriano, and some think he should keep it even when Soriano does come back from the disabled list.
"I'm not taking any credit away from anybody or anything like that, but that's the spot he should be in," said Robertson's pal Nick Swisher. "I think he's proven that. I think the numbers show that. And for him, being one of my good buddies, I'm glad he's starting to get the credit he deserves."
He's getting some credit, but not enough. Fans were incensed by the All-Star snub of CC Sabathia, but the big Yankee lefty was fine with being left off the team.
It's Robertson who yearns to go, and while he understands that it's no easy feat to make it as a setup man, it's clear that his competitive instinct burned at being left off. He's still hopeful that he'll be added at the last minute.
"When it comes to the All-Star game, you want closers. You want name guys. You want Mariano Rivera. You want the guys who are the best," Robertson said.
"There's always hope. We'll see what happens. It would be great if it happens. If not, wait until next year," he said.
Manager Joe Girardi continues to publicly lobby for Robertson to make the team, lauding his contributions, and saying that this team isn't in first place without Robertson.
"Robertson has been tremendous. To me, he's an All-Star. There's no doubt about it," Girardi said.
Still, despite the omission, Robertson's profile is rising with every strikeout, something he's only just starting to comprehend. The 5-foot-11 Robertson is a rare human-sized pitcher, and he is only just starting to be recognized outside of a Yankee uniform.
That rise to fame has helped Robertson raise money for his hometown of Tuscaloosa, devastated by tornadoes this spring. David and Erin visited the area last month and were floored by what they saw. Houses of childhood friends wiped off the map. Restaurants that he loved simply gone. David remembers walking up a bluff to gain a glimpse of a familiar river—only to see it clogged with debris, refrigerators, cars and parts of people's houses.
David and Erin started a foundation to raise money for Tuscaloosa and decided to have a spur-of-the-moment event after a Yankee game. David was worried no one would come—that he wasn't a big enough name to host an event like this. Of course, he is, and they did—raising roughly $15,000 for tornado relief. They are planning two more events this summer.
In the meantime, Robertson goes back to the mound to practice his Houdini act, and Erin is there every time, wringing her hands.
"It's so crazy for me," Erin said. "Everyone that sees me at the games knows that I'm on edge, every pitch, holding my breath.
"As much faith as I have in him, I'm still a nervous wreck every time," he said.
The way he's pitching, she should learn to relax.

I have a data series which consists of daily data in one worksheet in Excel 2010.
I also have an array (because of some matrix multiplication) in it, and I cannot create a table with an array in it, so I can't really use vlookup (or can I? Someone please enlighten me).
I need to retrieve data every 7 days for some testing from this particular column in the first sheet.
How do I use vlookup (or something similar) to get the data every 7 days into another worksheet beside it? I have the dates as the first column.

I've been getting some great questions about the LEAN Weight Management System and thought I would try to clarify some of them here.
First of all,
I would like to make it clear that with this diet plan, You do NOT have to change Your life.
You do Not have to do tons of excercise nor do You have to change What You eat.
Great news for both sides of the weight issue!
Whether it is weight loss or gain, LIMU LEAN has Your name!
What makes this system unique is the fact that every product has the limu moui seaweed, Fucoidan extract in it. This one nutrient forces the body to become healthy - naturally.
When You drink just 2 shakes a day, Your USRDA is 70% covered! This means You only have to add 30% of Your nutrients from solid food.
What will happen by drinking 2 shakes a day?
The LEAN Meal Replacement shakes are packed with 6 different kinds of protein Plus Your carbohydrates and all the Nutrients, Vitamins and Minerals Your body craves.
Our bodies need carbs to help digest the protein.
In the case of just protein shakes, our body cannot use all the protein effectively even if it is in a small form.
When our body gets All the proper nutrients it needs, no longer does that hunger feeling rule the day.
The only way our body knows to get Nutrients is to Eat More Food.
Well, if the food we eat does not contain the proper amount of Nutrients - NOT calories - then it no longer has to go looking in the cupboards or fridge just to fill the void that it never can.
Hence, the reason why many feel they are addicted to food. Not so! Your body is addicted to Nutrients and so far food has been the only way to get them.
When Your body is satisfied, You will Naturally eat less without feeling deprived.
Simply eat sensibly - instead of a whole bag of potato chips for afternoon snack, just have a few handfulls.
That is the beauty of the LEAN System. Eat what You want, when You want, just be smart about Your choices.
What about all the excercise other diets make You do in order for them to work?
I hate excercise! I despise sit-ups and push-ups. I refuse to run more then a block (usually because it's raining when i get out of the store and have to sprint to my car).
So i totally understand NOT wanting or having a desire to "exercise" - in the traditional sense of the word. In fact, we grew up with this definition:
"The act of performing drills; the act of training or developing onesself; something that is done to maintain or increase a skill, such as practice on the piano." Exercise in Webster's Dictionary c 2000.
Today, they call it Physical Excercise. A more user friendly term i think. It is defined as:
"Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment."
I Love to dance and sing! Thanks to the progressive thinkers at Wikipedia this activity is included. It's time to think differently and congratulate Yourself on All that You Do everyday for excercise:
Have You vacuumed lately? What about washing, folding and putting away clothes in drawers and up on hangers? Don't forget those grocery bags that had to be loaded, unloaded and then brought from the car to the pantry? Dusting is a great one for reaching in all those nooks and corners. Sweeping and mopping are excellent exercise!
So, let's bring this all together.
LIMU LEAN Weight Management System gives Your body the right amounts of nutrients, protein and carbohydrates that will give Your body what it needs to stop the food cravings and empty calories going in.
In turn, Your body Will respond by using the existing excess fat to feed the lean muscle that eats the extra fat.
Because Your body is now using these nutrients to burn fat and build muscle, You have more energy to accomplish Your physical goals and transform Your lifestyle.
When You have more energy, You naturally are more active.
Which in turn helps to burn even more calories.
"Work Smart - Not Hard" is our family motto.
The LEAN System is Smart. Not hard.
1) A Meal Replacement Shake for breakfast.
2) A morning snack - You choose a sensible portion of food.
3) A Meal Shake for lunch.
4) Choose another snack in the afternoon.
5) Have a sensible meal for dinner.
6) Don't forget the small evening dessert snack. (My personal Favorite:)
6 simple steps.
You Are In Control of Your life and body.
It really Is that simple to have Your LEAN Body type!
Well, that's all for now Friends. I hope this helps take some of the scary away.
Diets don't have to be Deadly or hard to stick to. The Limu Company has made sure of that!
I will discuss the Appetite Controller and Digestive Cleanse in another post.
Until then,
I'd be happy to answer Your questions or concerns about LIMU.

WILLIS (July 22, 2014) Two men and a woman suffered severe burns early Tuesday in an explosion that leveled a house near Willis about 40 miles north of Houston.
The fiery explosion occurred before dawn Tuesday, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said.
The three victims were taken to a hospital, but their names and further details about their injuries weren't immediately available.
Montgomery County Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams says it could be weeks before investigators determine the cause of the blast, which was felt several miles away.
Williams says investigators are trying to determine if any nearby homes in the unincorporated area were damaged.

How to Clean Invisalign
One Methods:Brushing Your Invisalign TraysCommunity Q&A
Invisalign products offer removable aligners such as braces and retainers, which can straighten teeth. An essential part of the Invisalign process is ensuring that both the aligners and your teeth are as clean as possible. Invisalign recommends a proprietary cleansing system; however, this system is both expensive and available in the US only. Fortunately, there are other, simpler ways to care for your Invisaligns.
Brushing Your Invisalign Trays
1Remove Invisalign from your teeth. Take out the Invisalign according to the instructions you received from your dentist. Unlike metal braces which need to be cleaned around, Invisalign must be cleaned on the outside of your mouth.
2Brush the aligner. Use toothpaste and a soft toothbrush, just as you would when brushing your own teeth. Gently brush away any food particles on both sides of the aligner. Clean it thoroughly.[[Image:Clean Invisalign Se

my web site design is good in full hd monitors but in others theme template is very big.how can change the theme to automatically fit in each resolution?

Your link is to this forum.
i corrected that,Thanks
That's a fixed width theme -- you can see that the width of all the content elements is set to 960px. You can't easily make it "responsive" because there are many elements that are also set to fixed widths -- the whole structure and layout of the site would have to be redone. So unless you know a lot of CSS and html, it's not likely you could make it work very well. Even then, you'd probably be better off looking for a theme that is already coded to be "responsive" (changes depending on the size of the browser window or the device).
There are quite a few themes these days that are responsive - including twentyeleven. So you might look for one that has a similar layout and look to yours.
thanks for your answer,so i cannot use this theme?:(
because its beautiful.
so how can know which theme is responsive?
You can use the theme, but it's not going to adjust to the size of the browser window...
Themes generally say very clearly when they are responsive -- it's a big deal these days with so many sized devices. Using "responsive" to search the WP themes page gets all these:
Elsewhere, read the info about the theme...before using any theme you should always check out the features and functionality and compatibilities of a theme...
You might test drive a few and see what you think.

Sleep Disorders: Sleep and Menopause
Menopause is a stage in a woman's life when she stops having her monthly menstrual cycle (her period). It is a normal part of aging and marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Menopause typically occurs in a woman's late 40's to early 50's.
When a woman goes through menopause, her body stops producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The loss of these hormones brings about various symptoms, including hot flashes (a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the body) and sweating (which is related to hot flashes).
Approximately 75% of menopausal women experience hot flashes, which can last for five years. Hot flashes and sweating can make it difficult to sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 40% of menopausal women have sleep problems caused by hot flashes. Sleeping difficulties can lead to other problems, such as daytime drowsiness.
How Can I Treat Sleep Problems Related to Menopause?
The traditional treatment for the symptoms related to menopause has been hormone therapy (HT). HT consists of estrogen given as a pill, patch, or vaginal cream, either alone or combined with progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone, or micronized progesterone). However, results from a large study, the Womens Health Initiative, showed that estrogen-progestin combination therapy caused an increased risk of breast cancer. Estrogen alone did not increase breast cancer, but the study also found that therapy with estrogen alone increases the risk of stroke in older women.

I don't think the problems I am having are related to CRX extensions. As I said, http://localhost:7402/ is the url that isn't having these problems. It is when I use the full path to the repository that WebDAV is broken. As I understand it, that configuraton uses only the Jackrabbit webdav servlet.

This recipe is very tasty. The fish was moist and delicious. I served it with Jasmine rice, and even DH, who likes his fish fried and was very skeptical, liked it. I used a freshly caught 6 lb mangrove snapper (I had to clean and scale it myself!), which has a dark streak and can be a little oily/fishy, but this style of cooking in an acidic bath reduces the fishyness and made the fish taste very good and the freshness shone through. I used yellow bell pepper instead of green, but otherwise made this exactly like the recipe. It doesn't get 5 stars from me because I probably won't make it often, which has more to do with the length of time to cook than with the flavor of the dish.

Relocation of Space Shuttle Major Modification Work
GAO-03-294R: Published: Dec 2, 2002. Publicly Released: Jan 2, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3600
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
We assessed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) rationale and documentation to support its decision to relocate Space Shuttle Orbiter Major Modification (OMM) work from Palmdale, California, to Kennedy Space Center, Florida. OMM work entails alterations to improve the Space Shuttle's Safety, operational quality, and long-term support and to extend its life.
NASA had a sound basis for its decision to relocate OMM work to Florida based on our assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of NASA's cost analysis and potential savings. However, NASA needs to do a better job in preparing and documenting the cost analysis and methodologies used in its decision-making process so that it can further strengthen its basis for making future decisions. The documentation provided by NASA was not of sufficient detail to enable us to (1) verify the precise cost savings resulting from relocating OMM from Palmdale, California, to Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and (2) completely understand NASA's rationale until we had extensive discussions with agency officials. We also found that the written responses to the questions Senator Boxer submitted to NASA related to the relocation of OMM work need clarification.

From Chicago to Narita: JAL lunch of curry and rice with soba and caesar salad and white wine
On China Airlines (share with JAL): a dinner of a poor lil shrimp that not many people I saw try on our 4 hour flight from Narita to Shanghai.
The lights at night in Shanghai (outside my hotel room window). The building on the left changes color via lights- see the next few pictures...
Now the building (moved to the middle) is green. Yes, they light the expressway with blue underlights, that is not the color of cars :P
Now a pretty purple building
Good night from Shanghai- tomorrow a train to Suzhou and then Nanjing
Shanghai at down, per my hotel window at New Jin Jiang Hotel. That one building with a "ball" in the middle looks like it's holding materia, while the ball on a stick to the right I'm not sure what it's for. On the way, in the area that I assume is the Expo Center it was a crazy light show almost like Fremont Street in Vegas- but as big an Olympic Stadium and to be used for conventions it seemed like.
More Shanghai skyline in the morning. Yes, one of the building looks almost like a tazer?
That street running down there was filled with white lights and red lanterns, almost like a Michigan Avenue of shops but decked out for permanent Christmas
View from the Revolving Restaurant's breakfast buffet in Shanghai
New Jin Jiang Hotel, Shanghai
New Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai, China
Tomato juice is just not the same in China.
Fish at the train station while waiting for train from Suzhou to Nanjing
This style of Chinese garden with lots of interesting rock shapes and the bridge is a traditional Suzhou garden style
My bangs are hiding the fact I banged my head hard on the taxi at 3:30 and 8 hours later can still feel it (and a bump)
Leaving the bullet train after arriving in Nanjing
Holiday Inn in Nanjing Aqua City
Who buys all this weird art for hotels anyway?
The window here (and also in the bathroom...!) looks out into a walkway that goes into the Aquacity Mall.
Walking through a market on the way to dinner
Except for the cheese and hash brown (which I couldn't resist), another traditional Chinese breakfast that I picked up from the hotel breakfast buffet. This time, from the Holiday Inn in Nanjing
Why supersize your meal when you can overload it!??
Shenzhen- a glimpse fo the skyscrapers... and the housing with hanging laundry that is everywhere
The flowers in the hotel lobby- so pretty!
I just want to take it with me!
Back to the area I was in last night- but now in the daytime
Turns out this is a big scenic area because the Confucious Temple is here.
For 5 yuan, you can buy one of those red ribbons and you throw it up to make a good wish in front of the Confucious temple
This was the big red glowing building we had seen last night on the way to dinner- it's put in front of the temple to celebrate the festival
The Confucious Temple. Unfortunately I only had an hour and was by myself, so I didn't want to pay 35 yuan to go in
A daytime look at the river and the boats from last night
The Qinhuai river in daylight
This is where all the scholars took the examination to become governmetn officials!
Street food- sticks of fruit with a strange red glaze, hot dog, and a little pan fried rice square. I had the rice square- it had a chewy crispy texture but didn't taste like much.
The area had statues like this to show how this once was a place of scholars and a thriving market. I liked this guy because he sells kids' toys
Example of kids toys in his basket :)
On Shenzhen Airlines, our flight of 2 hours included dinner. I liked the English on the box and cup :)
Marco Polo hotel in Shenzhen.
Ooo glowy shelf :X
A lunch in Shenzhen- these were like cherries...but are not cherries. No, I didn't eat them, the other people at the table did. Come on, when have you seen me eat cherries, much less mystery cherry-berry?
A slightly spicy beef
Ribs called for extra napkins to wipe my face as I tried to eat it with chopsticks
Yay, greens. Not sure what the black stuff is.
Yummy tofu/pork squares
Bleh says the tasty soft fish. Thank goodness unlike the other restaurant of nasty tofu in Nanjing, they did not bring this fish out live to see its killers.
View outside my window in 3312 at the Marco Polo. I heard those creaky cranes even at the 33rd floor, including at night (they light it up and keep working)
More buildings- this center glass building is going to be the blue building you will see in the night shots of Shenzhen
Some of the buildings outside my window in Shenzhen
That's right, that building to the left changes patterns with its light show
The two lit buildings directly behind the red striped building to the right also have a light show of turning off and on those white rows of lights on the various floors: I caught them when they were all lit up on every floor
In this shot though you can see the building on the left of the red striped building making a cross pattern with its floors
Construction crews are still working through the night, creaking away with those cranes and bulldozers and excavators, an all night construction party...
Another hotel: the Lanson Place Hotel, a little boutique hotel in the Causeway Bay part of HK. They actually have art I like here at this hotel!
Actually, that sink is a pain when you are brushing your teeth and need to rinse out, but it looks aesthetically pleasing
This room comes with a mini kitchenette
View outside my room: those are all housing apartments. It's like that everywhere in HK: like big casino size complexes that are neighborhoods of living areas each for hundreds of thousands of people. These ones aare actually short- there are ones that are like Las Vegas casino size but 3-4 times as tall, very very dense living here. In one area, the guide says there is 100,000 per square kilometer in population
The buildings below are older housing: most buildings like that get torn down to build higher complexes like the ones you see way behind the racetrack
Blurry example of the view outside my window at night... the whole city looks like this
Going to Times Square for dinner. There are thousands of people walking everywhere
A glimpse at how tall Time Square is (this is one of the two towers of Times Square). We are heading to eat dinner on one of the four floors dedicated to just restaurants
Lots of high end stores in this area: we also saw lots of luxury cars such as Mercedes (twice), Ferrari, Maserati, Bentley, along with lots of Omega and other jewelry and watch stores and we walked past a Salvatore Ferragamo
The start of Peking duck: the meat came ground up and stir fried that we ate inside lettuce wraps. Awesomely delicious
Taking the Tram up to the Peak
Glimpse of the tram's inside, which has wooden benches inside. Always sit on the 3 bench side, not the 2 seating bench side!
Across the water is the Kowloon side. The big tall building with the white top in the middle is the super tall building that you saw in the Dark Knight Batman movie
The building on the left changes color.
As you can see, the city keeps going and going around the coastline of Hong Kong. The middle, which is very mountainous, if mostly left alone. The green light you see in the distance to the right is the area our hotel is at
Unfortunately, according to our resident Hong Kong expert, it's foggy on the left side so we can't see all the lights of Kowloon down the coast of that island, so this is not the full effect of the Peak- you can barely see some of the lights hinting through the fog to the back right
Across the river on the Kowloon side, that red square U you see is the famous Pennisula hotel
To the left is my coworker Amy Bergsieker. We left the two male engineers behind in Shenzhen and are being toured around by her host sister from more then a decade ago, Flora
In Hong Kong at the Peak
Example of the people in the streets- a little blurry because I'm trying to walk to keep up! Flora said this is actually not a big crowd because it's still early, just only turning 11pm. We end up at Racks, a chill bar with lots of billiards.
Walking to the nightclub area of HK, the streets are teeming with people almost like Mardi Gras but everyone is really well dressed and no one is outrageously loud or drunk.
Example of the various bars and clubs all along the street. Everyone dresses pretty well here, polos and button down shirts for guys, heels with a cute top/jeans or trendy dresses for girls, rarely a T shirt and no loose baggy clothing everything seems fitted/tailored well
Example of the residential living/pedestrian walk ways over busy streets with buses and trolleys. It's a foggy but humid morning
More residential housing mixed with commercial, and a look at the skinny double decker trolleys (they look like buses but run on those rails). It's a little scary to see them barrelling around corners like they are about to tip
Each trolley has a specific destination, so it's not uncommon to see a whole bunch of them pile up like buses at a station and they are constantly arriving and departing
In the front there is actually what the public buses of Taiwan are like- they are very small, seating only 16 people, but they can go where the rails don't
Mid-morning view on a Saturday from the pedestrian overpass
I love checking out the beverages in the local convenience stores. This is one of the many 7-11s.
I also love checking out the snacks at convenience stores: they make the best souviniers!
Local flavors of Lays chips in HK at the 7-11
Waiting for the train. They have glass to the right so no one falls onto the tunnel's rail area and gets run over by the trains.
The transit system here is color-coded (we're on the blue line) with the inverse black background/white text being our station, and everything labeled in both Chinese and English
The trains are just one super long car
As you go from station to station the little circles light up, which is very nice feedback
We're about to take those cable cars to see the Giant Buddha
Yeah, you'll soon see how far the cable car goes...
The girl behind me is actually working there: that's their uniform, light green with orange squares on their shirts and pants
Leaving the station... the little camera telling us to say cheese had us looking everywhere for where the camera was going to be. Turns out it's at the very last station, not during the cable car ride.
We got the glass floor cars for a little extra. It also means you get to bypass most of the line
Now going over the first body of water- everyone in our car decided to stick their feet in the middle at the same time to take a picture :D
A cable car going back the other way
Looks like broccoli down there...
Looking back, you can see the new HK airport which no longer requires trying to land through mountains and skyscrapers
All orderly along the cable car path... um as expected
There's actually a pathway after you get to the mountain area after the airport where you could walk all the way... if you wanted. It would probably take several hours, going up and down the hills and sometimes walking through the trees though most of it was a clear path. It is all on wood or stone walkways
Cable cars in the air make one path, and the walkway on the mountain shows the other alternative...
Looking back after the first hill/small mountain. To the left is the airport, to the right are some residential complexes and a fishing village. And, you can see the pathway on the ground disappearing for a bit into the trees but it comes back out along the cable car path
A look at some of the face of the lil mountains we're riding through
Below us we see the pathway emerge from tree cover
First glimpse of the big Buddha to the left
A grave to the right side of the mountain carved out at what must be an awesome feng shui location for that family
Snack of a mango pancake before our walk to the Big Buddha
GIANT cotton candy that Flora and I could not stop being fascinated by.
Huge bigger then your head cotton candy, 20 HK dollars each
Time to climb 250 steps...
Blessing the talismans they sell at the bottom of the steps of the Big Buddha. They really do dress just like you see in the movie. Unfortunately, this is the only time I saw them.
I don't know what that lady behidn me was thinking, wearing a red sweater dress and heeled boots...
Looking back down once I reach the top. You can see the stone area marking where the original temple was, and they are renovating/creating new areas just outside that to continue to expand this as a tourist attraction
Some people at the top so you can get some perspective on the side.
Peaceful misty view of the islands on the back side of the Big Buddha
Lunch is... kyushu ramen which was just ok, not much meat, though I like the addition of corn, in the tourist shopping eating area right after you get off/on the cable car
A look at Mong Kok shopping area when we emerged from the subway
Yay, the smell of fermented tofu that you can smell a block away and that I got to enjoy as my two friends were waiting for bubble tea
Dinner at Agnes b Le paine grille
I really like my escargot in the porcelain rather then in the shell because then I get more garlic butter to pour on my bread. I also ordered a lobster salad to try to get some seafood in since my friends wanted to eat French and not the famous seafood places in HK. Next time!
I stopped for some famous HK custard while my two friends were sleeping in and I was waiting for our brunch time
Egg Tart Custard of Hong Kong
Gooey hot inside!
I cracked up whenever I saw these taxis with their lil cars on top of them
Asian desserts, including the mango cake there at the bottom left. The sponge cake one on the right in some sort of fruit cake but it looked almost like cream with pound cake sprinkled all around?
Walking through the market- fruits stand
Noodle shop
Traditional chinese... stuff
All sorts of fish balls
For some reason I kept walking past the Mercedes store and I appreciated how they start their branding products at a young age
My secret breakfast before I meet my friends for breakfast... that's a egg and corn bun.
Sounds like a good lunch at Brown (where we had brunch)
examples of some of the beverages at Brown
American breakfast: omelette with ginormous toast on the left, egg benedict to the right, and my breakfast sandwich which was bigger then my face and came with doritos?
This breakfast sandwich was four times larger then anticipated and includes lettuce, sausage, ham, bacon, and egg with tomato
Part of the famous longest escalator in HK
The buildings in this area are much older then the ones we've been seeing
It's not one continuous escalator, but they are all in a row, and it is flat so it's really more of a super long moving walkway but sandwiches in between much older HK buildings
Example of what the longest escalator looks like from the walkway next to the moving pathway
This Soho area includes lots of older shorter buildings (only a few stories) and lots of cute lil restaurants offering cuisine from all over the world, almost a bit like the Gas Lamp area of San Diego
This really is like a big shopping street of... restaurants, just like the Gas Lamp area of San Diego
Example of one of the cute trendy atmospheres offered at the places here.
A small temple just a few steps from the Soho area
Incense coils
Very small temple literally next to the steps and down half a level from the Soho area
A better look at the context of how small this temple is- smaller then any of the restaurants and bars along this street
Cute elephant shrub
You can eat snake here
On the left hand side of the street is Joyce Baker Interior Design
And here's the bar across the street... that Joyce is at, cute!
A juxtaposition of the older HK buildings and the shiny new ones
The big pot in this Sugar Cane place where they brew the tea. The inside still has the original decorations from when it first opened
Squeezing out the sugar cane juice- he kept putting through the sugar cane over and over to press the liquid out
Another old temple, at least this one is bigger...
No pictures were allowed inside, but you can see a glimpse of the incense coils in there- and that is only 1/4 of what was just in that area. It was super smokey incense-y
The bathroom inside our hotel before we took our car back to Shenzhen... we were confused at first too
I saw this out the window of the hotel and had to come investigate... just next door to the Marco Polo Shenzhen. It's a Kung Fu something...
Apparently it's a Chinese fast food restaurant
Fast food... but they still offer the dish with just a chicken foot: find out more at http://madaboutshanghai.blogs.com/mad_about_shanghai/2006/03/kungfu_fast_foo.html
My sashimi lunch in Shenzhen
Egg with mystery mushroom and other meats buried inside (seafood, chicken, etc)
My mocha was 1/4 whipped cream. I guess the shot of hot water in case I wanted to water it down, and it also came with a little cookie with a raisin in the middle. Of course I ate around the raisin.
The usual toilet in China
The toilet stall is calling me weak.
Lobby of the Grand Hyatt in Taipei is grand
Grand Hyatt hotel in Taipei... my room!
View of Taipei 101 outside my window. It's a rainy morning
Mos Burger- a rice burger!
Scary statue in front of the New York New York mall which I expressly went to get a Sim card. At least I discovered a Mr Donut for future reference.
Taipei 101 at night
Crispy pork lunch with corn soup and a coffee gelatin dessert at Xinzhu area (parallel to San Jose in Taiwan)
6:30 pm at Linjiang market, 15 minute walk from hotel
Lots of scooters in Taiwan- driving in the streets and also parked all along the sidewalk and on the sidewalk
Fresh dumplings
I wasn't hungry yet tho so didn't get anything...
A long line for something is always a sign it's good
Changing of the lights: the 3 car left turn lane waiting its turn (as are the cars in front of the red gates)
Today, Taipei 101 is blue
World's fastest elevator at Taipei 101 got me upstairs pretty fast!
View through the dirty windows of the lights of Taipei
Xinyi Shopping district of Taipei which they compare (according to the voice tour) to Manhattan
In the back left you can see the ferris wheel of Miramar
The lit up trees make it sparkly all year long
The lit bridge to the back right there is MacArther Bridge 1 (and there is a second behind it called MacArther Bridge 2)
I terrorize a replica of Taipei 101
The dampers that help the building from sway from wind or earthquake
Dampers of Taipei 101 for wind and earthquake stability control
A walkway of clouds on the way out (and through their long gift shop). The clouds part as you walk under your feet: see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDGrsipuMS4
Another view of the dampers, along with the little humanized damper things they have in various colors
Taiwan puppets that act out Chinese fighting movies that include all the sound effects/blood and cloud of dirt special effects, flying, etc...
I also went to the outside observation deck to experience the strengh of wind so high up: you have to walk up stairs on your own
Lil heart shaped pillows at Swensons make having ice cream at Taipei 101's mall pretty romantic...
A street performer across from New York New York, on the way of me following the crowd to MRT
Blue water pixie street performer: much better then the scary painted people I think, she moved very gracefully like a nymph
I found the MRT. People wait in orderly lines to board
On my way!
Dude trying to win some fish with a paper net for his chick at the games area of the Shilin Market. Behind you can see a game where you can use a gun to shoot water balloons... or darts, or arrows and bows depending on the stall
They had a whole area for pets, including lots of lil puppies like this size (or smaller)
Dudes playing a game where they hit the little squares in time to rock to the music
More food stalls of the Shihlin Market
Lil dumpling balls
Lots of claw machines
Big dumplings of some sort
3 inch mini burgers
More of the street as I continue down in search of more snack food
Success: Hot Star Large Fried Chicken
fresh batch of the gigantic fried chicken at Hot Star Large Fried Chicken at the Night Market in Taiwan
I'm a winner: chicken as big as my face (only part is showing above the paper, the other 75% is in the paper/plastic)
This was a popular item: potatoes topped with diced ham or corn or whatever and sitting in a huge container/slathered with some sort of cheese sauce.
Look at the lines for cheesy potatoes!?
Looking back at the two branches I walked as I walk back to the MRT with still half a giant fried chicken in my bag...
Another food area of Shilin Market, but it's after midnight and I need to be ready for an 8:45 tour!
KuanYin Temple
Lots of monks on the way up on both sides of stairs, with each one unique
Examples of some of the monks
Long eyebrows dude...
Happy Buddha
The circles you see are windows- I climbed to the top of the narrow stairs inside but you can't really see much
If you are wondering why there are little cars by me, this whole area was turning into some sort of weird children entertainment center with games (like you see on the left) and lots of these little cards that the kiddies can drive
Top part of wishing area... below these grates (next picture)
Below the grates are hands that you try to drop your coin on
The dudes that are being stood on seem uncomfortable?
Inside the Guanyin statue, going up the stairs (the holes are the windows seen earlier outside the statue)
Next stop on the morning tour: Yehliu Geopark, mos famous for the "Queen Rock" which you can see in the sign to the upper left: a profile rock of a woman
Artistic rendition of Queens Head on the pathway on the way to Queens Head...
Some explanation of the kind of rocks you will see. I saw all these signs AFTER I had already walked around because the guide had made us hurry in to go see them without explaining anything, just like the Guan Yin place. Mostly the tour just transports you from place to place but you are on your own to explore.
Honeycomb rocks explanation
Various rocks to see
I wish they had a map that I could have carried with me to see where everything was...
The dragon rock is pretty cool... which I only saw in the picture and not in RL. I also like that they identified a pineapple bun and bbq drumstick...
Walking towards where all the people are over there...
Looking back at the way we came from parking lot over bridge and down stairs to get to this area where Queens Head will be
Behind me you can see some of the candlestick rocks: like there are small round candles floating in melted wax in the circles. There are more pronounced ones in the map
To the left you can see the "fairy slipper" rock formation, in the middle is a "billiard rock" and to the right is an example of candlestick
Here's the correct view (sorta) of the profile- you can see a huge line of people taking pictures from the boardwalk
Looking back to the rock area I just was: you can see a lkine still of people waiting for Queens Rock photos
More mushroom rocks down there. I was running out of time (we only had an hour here) so I didn't go down there
beef noodle had a seriously beefy broth and sorta intimidating hunks o meat
Cloudy notheast coast of Taiwan that afternoon
A view of a "profile" like face at Pitou cape
Some of the hills had these lil mini-caves, some of which were housing urns or pottery of some sort
A temple at this stop
Rock that looks like a fish
The rocks in general are pretty cool though with how smooth they look and the different colors in them. And, they are huge boulders!
I thought this wind/water formed rock formation was really cool
Apparently the person who I asked to take a photo wasn't very good at it.
The rock that is jutting to the left is supposed to be a "frog" rock
Bay of Two Colors: the water is two different colors because there is also a mine here, and so the minerals changes some of the water, but you can also see the normal water color.
Jiu Fen shopping area. I found this out later in trying to find the name of the delicacy you will see later, not from my tour guide... but Jiufen, a village located on the northeast coast of Taiwan, was one of the inspirations for the village in Spirited Away. Apparently Mr. Miyasaki visited the little village on a mountain and there is even a teahouse set in the mountain that features masks similar to the black robed spirit (No Face) with a mask in the movie. If I had known that, I would have been searching for that teahouse.
Yeah, that's squid! And ohter fishies to the right. You can fry anything.
The system: he uses a big knife to scrape off shavings of peanut into each of those lil thin pancakes
She puts in two lil scoops of ice cream
Then she folds them into lil ice cream/peanut topping burritos
After one bite. It tasted pretty good - very light, the ice cream was some sort of cold taro concoction (more like gelato texture then ice cream) and the nutty shavings were flakes and soft instead of the lil bits that get stuck in your teeth like usual chopped nuts topping. The crepe was more a holder then a contributor to flavor.
Mushroom grilling in a closet sized space...
It can't possibly be poisonous because so many people were in line to get some... right?
So I got some. Actually, it didn't taste like much. Mushrooms in Oregon are pretty good, and I can get them easily at the Farmer's Market on Saturday.
This place appears well reviewed/famous. Jiufen is famous for its taro: there are taro balls which I saw but didn't try, and taro dumplings like I got from this place
Taro dumplings getting individually bagged
Of course I got one.
Yeah, I don't think I can take these home to cook the raw meat they are stuffing in
Still abuzz with people everywhere in Jiufen. According to the guide and the internet agrees, Jiufen used to be occupied by 9 households. The dad or mom would go out to buy groceries for nine people in each family, so the name Jiufen is originated from this story [jiu = nine; fen = fraction].
According to Wikipedia, Jiufen was a gold mining town that reached its peak under the time of Japanese rule in Taiwan. After the gold was exhausted, interest in this town declined significantly. Since the town was largely forgotten except by those living there, it is a well preserved example of a mountain town under Japanese colonization
I saw these many times in China and Taiwan, but I never had the fortitude to get one. If you know me, you know I don't usually eat whole fruit- I like it cut up in case there's a spider hiding inside a strawberry hull (which i've seen!). I also like fruit in liquid form. Either way, why would I try one which is covered in some sort of mystery syrup?
I didn't have the heart to take a picture of the grilled hermit crabs I saw in the market the other night.
Yeah, I had another one of these on the way out. I was rushing to get to the meeting spot, and wanted something cold. The cilantro that this vendor added was an interesting touch to the nutty/ice cream combo
Example area of what the original alleys looked like in this area. Since it's built in the mountain, they were often very makeshift so uneven and as you approach the stairs, actually got short enough even I had to duck to get through it!
The part where I had to duck to go up the stairs through this original alleyway
Lots of graffiti by visitors... or a sticker that says I <3 SD.
Origami museum at Narita airport. I know better then to buy any origami for myself- I fold terribly.
Which is funnier: a frog holding an umbrella, or a origami of a roast goose?
Examples of 3 more origami scenes
I can't believe this snack I bought (which was loads better then the "breakfast" United served) was 800 yen. But it came with parsley! How fancy!

I'm looking for a way to get UVC compartible usb cameras working on other android devices that don't have a kernel driver for those UVC cameras by default.
I don't want to root those devices nor change their image/kernel, because usual customers should be able to use the camera later on with every tablet and without special requirements (except an app).
Do you think it might be possible to establish a raw connection to an unknown device using Android's USB class in Android 3.1 and higher (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html) or can I only use it with devices that are supported and recognized by the kernel already?
If it would be possible, I would be interested in integrating the UVC driver using Java/NDK to get the video stream out of it. At least that's my rough idea.
Do you think that's possible?

Sensorweb Research Laboratory is developing Sensor Web systems and applying this revolutionary technology to critical scientific and engineering applications. The Sensor Web is also called Internet of Things, or Cyber-Physical Systems. We are leaders on decentralized sensing, computing and security in energy, environment and health applications.
Sensor Web is a coordinated observation infrastructure composed of a distributed collection of resources, e.g. sensors, platforms, models, communications infrastructure, that can collectively behave as a single, autonomous, task-able, dynamically adaptive and reconfigurable observing system that provides raw and processed data, along with associated meta-data, via a set of standards-based service-oriented interfaces. The definition of the term, "sensor", is intentionally broad and abstract to include a wide range of data and/or information providers. This definition, for example, includes models and not just physical instruments capable of sensing a phenomenon. Human reports, RADAR, satellite feeds, models, smart meters and thermometers are all examples of sensors within the context of a sensor web. The Sensorweb Research Laboratory is devoted to the sensorweb system research, aiming to provide timely, on-demand data and analysis to users who can enable practical benefits for scientific research, national policymaking, economic growth, natural hazard mitigation, and the exploration of other planets in this solar system and beyond.
Our interdisciplinary sensor web program comes with a number of important research projects in geospatial sensing and computing technology, distributed intelligence and networking on sensor webs. Our research work is largely motivated by the needs of real-time and situation-aware information gathering from unattended environments and effective information sharing over the Internet, hence currently focuses on inventing smart communication/cordination systems to support the Sensor Web vision. The technologies under our development will enable many critical scientific and social applications, such as environment monitoring, smart homes, smart grid, battlefield surveillance, intelligent transportation, and intelligent factories etc.
Sensorweb Research Laboratory is part of the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University - the heart of downtown Atlanta, GA. The address is 25 Park Pl NE, Suite 643-644, Atlanta, GA 30303

SeaRAM Anti-Ship Missile Defense System
The SeaRAM® Anti-Ship Missile Defense System provides the highest level of ship self-defense with extended keep-out range capability.
The SeaRAM Anti-Ship Missile Defense System is a spiral development of key attributes of the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System and the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Guided Weapon System. SeaRAM is designed to extend the inner layer battlespace and enable the ship to effectively engage multiple high-performance, supersonic and subsonic threats.
An 11-missile RAM launcher assembly replaces Phalanx's 20 mm gun. SeaRAM combines RAM's superior accuracy, extended range and high maneuverability with the Phalanx Block 1B's high resolution search-and-track sensor systems and reliable quick-response capability.
SeaRAM is an affordable capability upgrade — the above-deck system fits the exact footprint of the Phalanx, uses the same power, and requires minimal shipboard modification.
The U.S. Navy has used SeaRAM to successfully test-fire the latest variant of the RAM missile, Block 2, and has also completed test firings from an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer.

I have a remote ubuntu computer that I connect to via SSH. The remote computer has only one user. I accidentally changed the user's home folder permissions (to 555, I believe) and because of that I can no longer ssh in. Is there a way to fix the permissions remotely?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
It's possible you may be able to run commands over ssh even though you cannot start a login shell over ssh.
This may work

Region 4's possible champions and Region 9's likely winners are included, too. (Regions that have finished competition and 1A were covered last week.)
Region 2: Hunter – eighth, 2009.
Region 3: Jordan – 26th, 2005.
Region 4: Bingham has won 19, the last in 2010; Lone Peak has nine, including the past three years; Pleasant Grove has won 13, the last in 2008.

Region 12: Spanish Fork – eighth, 1991 (the Dons have never won an undefeated, outright region title).
Career Stats
Dixie's Blake Barney has accumulated 8,022 yards of total offense in three years, placing him seventh all-time. He's thrown for 6,580 yards, the ninth-best performance on record.
Four other current quarterbacks have thrown for over 5,000 career yards, which places them in the all-time Top-30: Orem's Taylor Camp has 5,538, Wasatch's James Delacenserie has 5,432 (including two years at Judge), Cottonwood's Cooper Bateman has 5,095 (the Colts haven't reported all his stats) and Jordan's Austin Kafentzis has 5,059.
Kafentzis is also responsible for 80 touchdowns, and that's the 15th-most all-time.
Millard's Jesse Rhodes continues his ascent on the rushing charts. He has 56 career rushing TDs, just one away from fifth place. Including receptions and returns, Rhodes has scored 60 touchdowns, the seventh most in Utah prep history. Rhodes remains in fourth in career 100-yard games with 22, but only two away from a first-place tie. He's dashed for 4,354 career yards, good for 10th place all-time.
Pine View's Prentiss Miller is 12th in rushing with 4,149 yards. He's fourth in career carries with 606, but 89 away from third place (Brandon Rogers, Park City, 1999-2001). Miller has rushed for over 100 yards 20 times, the sixth best all-time achievement.
Among receivers, Logan's Jesse Braddy has 134 catches with the Grizzlies, putting him seventh all-time. He needs four to reach sixth, but another 28 after that to get to fifth.
On defense, Duchesne's McKade Nielsen picked off a couple more passes to give him 22 career interceptions – only three others have more. Nielsen needs to snag at least four more to move up on the list.
And Season Stats
Logan's Luke Falk has completed 281 of 468 passes this year, vaulting him to third place all-time in both completions and attempts. He needs to connect on 16 more to reach second place (Alex Kusera, Mountain Crest, 2010) and 37 more to overtake Alex Hart's 317 (Jordan, 2009). In attempts, Falk is six away from Grizzly Tyler Stevens (2009) and 22 behind Alex Hart's 490.
Two of his favorite receivers rank high on the all-time season receptions list: Taylor Compton is in third with 89, six short of Jordan's Braden Hammond (2009) and a mere 12 catches away from overtaking C.J. O'Neal's 100 (West Jordan, 2009). Jesse Braddy is 11th with 83 receptions this year.
Kafentzis and Falk have amassed over 3,000 yards of total offense this season to climb into the Top-40: Kafentzis has 3,093 and Falk has 3,064.
