I'm trying to use the Google maps geocode API to return all parks for a given zip code. It seems that if I have a park name I have no problem returning the data. Such as http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Kerry+Park+98122&sensor=false
However, if i search for parks for a zip code http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Parks+near+98122&sensor=false
I get any result for the zip code with
parks in the address. I tried using
lanlng but that has the same problem. It seems that Google doesn't allow
types[] in query just the results which is unfortunate.
If I search for "parks near 98122" on maps.google.com I get all the results but it doesn't seem to be using the same API.
I requested a Google maps Places api key which I think is what I need.
I guess my questions are:
a) am I missing something here?
b) I'm not stuck with Google API are their others that will output JSON results for all parks by zip. I looked briefly into Bing and Yahoo to no avail.

Neat Idea, Horrible Name
ihiji is a service company aimed at helping custom installers help their clients. It's a neat concept for two things you won't see: the graph above that kind of reminds you of a nuclear fallout pattern, and the install company's truck that won't be parking in front of your home. ihiji's servers constantly monitor your home's AV and automation system and can pinpoint problems with IP communication (which are then displayed on the network connection graph), allowing the installer to potentially solve the problem (by sending a reboot command, for example) without ever leaving the shop. It saves on service calls, service fees, and aggravation on everyone's part.

Why Idaho Rejected Proposition 3
Idaho voters delivered a ringing defeat of Propositions 1, 2 and 3 Tuesday, rejecting the three-part education overhaul backed by Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna and Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, and approved by the Legislature in 2011. The most resounding "No" came on Proposition 3, which addressed online education and technology in schools. Voters rejected it by a two-to-one margin. It's worth asking: Why was that measure so overwhelmingly unpopular? At her North End polling place on Election Day, mother Jennifer Thornfeldt (pictured with daughter, Stella) offered one answer. "There are districts that don't have money for books or for supplies, and teachers are buying them out of their own salaries," she said. "To appropriate money toward buying computers seemed to me to miss the mark"/Molly Messick, StateImpact. More here. (StateImpact photo: Molly Messick)
Question: Why did you vote against Proposition 3?

Do you hear that?
That's the sound of the Falcons' window slamming shut.
Or are they reloading?
Maybe I just dont see the dire situation they are in...
Rotoworld: Falcons will not tag William Moore...
So Falcons will lose 3 starters on D and 2 starters on O (Turner and Gonzalez). They are $18 million under cap but have huge holes.
Cue Falcons1st in 3...2...1...
They have no pass rush and there isn't a serious FA pass rusher that will be available that isn't almost as old as ABE.
Also from where they will be picking it is unlikely they will be able to get a instant impact.
They'll probably sign Freeney
Falcons are gonna go hard at Steven Jackson
Stephen Jackson is a bigger version of Michael Turner....at the end of his career. Seems pointless
They'll probably sign Freeney
They'll probably sign Freeney
He is six months younger than Aberham and had a whopping 5 sacks this past season and a total of 13.5 in the past two....
He is washed up.

When wait staff is serving an endless amount of customers one cup of coffee after another, it's often quite easy to forget that the customer on the other side of the room needs a refill on their tea. In order to accommodate such customers, Update International recommends their 10-oz. stainless steel server (ESC-10). This server will hold enough for two cups of hot water for bagged tea, making it efficient in serving customers' individual needs.

I have the answer to that, and it is that no-one is casting stones when they are speaking up about beliefs. It is misdirection, on your part, and you know it. Unless you think that no-one should have any kind of opinion, hmmm?<quoted text>
Yes, they all seem to think they speak for all of them, but none of them do, I have not even found one of them that can speak for a majority of them.
A large Majority of Christians in the world are Catholic for example, but a majority of Catholics in the US approve of the use of birth control for example, against the teachings of their church.
None of them speak for all Christians, and most of them I have talked to pick and choose passages to follow, and specifically disregard others.
How many followers of Christianity in this forum for example give a half seconds thought to "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"
You and I both know the answer to that.

IOW, you cannot provide any compelling reason to legalize SSM. Thank you for your admission of failing to be up to the task. Accepted.
#191343 May 8, 2013
Again, he has nailed you to the wall. And you fail to provide any compelling reasons. Accepted, again. He has nailed you with logic, and you fail to grasp it. Your failure is not his failure. He has presented you with a logical retort, and you respond with insults. Again. Don't you ever get tired of being shown up? Look at all the forums that you haunt, and look at the amount of times that you get your ass handed to you. One would think that it was time to stop trying...
#191344 May 8, 2013
You forgot to include the word "moron". Additionally, I sense the omission of the word "hater"...

It is not protection. It is the gilding of a sexually oriented behavior. NOT the same thing, at all.

1.) "Some things should just be left as they were."
Why is that? We didn't leave slavery as it was. We didn't leave gender inequality as it was. Our economy has changed dramatically over the past couple of centuries.
Why is that "some things" should be left as they were, but "other things" are game for being changed?
2.) "...but when we start to change too many of the ingredients in a 'marriage', it's not that, anymore."
How does one change impact marriage? Seriously... Do you think heterosexual couples will be impacted by same-sex marriage? Do you think families will change?
I don't see the logic. Maybe I'm missing something.
#191348 May 8, 2013
Please learn what a cult is.

Yes, in a word, I do determine what is a defect. Any breathing, thinking adult knows what a defect is.
A transgender person has a defect. It impacts his/her ability to function and lead a happy, fulfilling life.
A gay person who is happy with his/her orientation is not defective. Show me how a gay person negatively impacts society.
It can't be that we've had a negative impact on the population growth of mankind. There are over 7,000,000,000 people on the planet.
We're able to hold jobs and support ourselves and our families. So, it's not like we're on the public dole due to our orientation.
In what way are we defective?
You think that you have to know cause and purpose in order for something to be labeled as "normal"?
What is the purpose for water being clear? What is the purpose for teeth being a shade of white? Why does the speed of light travel at 670,616,629 miles per hour--why not 670,616,628 miles per hour? Why do we breathe oxygen and not nitrogen--couldn't God have created us to breathe nitrogen?
What causes gravity? We have theories about gravity, but nobody knows for certain what causes it. Like homosexuality, we can observe it, we can measure it, but to this day, nobody knows for sure why there are gay people.
For some reason, you can accept gravity being natural and normal, but you can't accept homosexuality as being natural and normal.
What causes some people to like beets, but others cannot stand the "earthy" flavor? Why do some people prefer jazz, while others just don't "get it"?
There are so many mysteries that you accept as normal and natural. You don't question their presence. But for some reason, you have this "thing" about gays.
Since we have no negative impact on society, I submit that the "whys" and the "hows" of homosexuality is simply not worth the time or effort to study the issue.
Bottom line, it's none of your business. It doesn't impact you (unless you are gay).
I think you'd be better off trying to get to the bottom of this "gravity issue" before the planet throws your ass out into space.
#191356 May 8, 2013
Yep those crafty ships captains communicate in code?
#191357 May 8, 2013
I cannot speak for Mr Hudson but if you asked me that question I would reply because poly marriage deserves the same respect and consideration as same sex marriage.
They are both marriage. Your favorite one is not more worthy than anyone else's favorite one. They are both marriage. Equal. It's a simple concept really.
If your response is going to be whining and stomping your feetsies that I am off topic, I will re-post your last 10 posts for comparison.
#191358 May 8, 2013
Shorter paragraphs, double spacing between them, I like that but words! Too many words! Pretend they cost $10 each and say the same thing.
Sorry. Can't help it.

Oh alright. The VC overran the camp. Jizzy (just the facts) was cowering in one of the hootches. He was scared as hell but he had a plan! He got naked, painted his dick purple with iodine from the first aid kit and ran out among them, surrendering. They laughed and took turns sodomizing him and until they were all spent. The End.

This from the People's Republic of California. Helllloooooooo.....the people put the issue on the ballot and voted twice in the affirmative. Those pesky patriots voted for this:
"only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
American by birth, Italian by the grace of God. College grad. Former military reservist. Married with children.....
Grandma and Grandpa would be proud. Oh wait they were naturalized citizens.
#191361 May 8, 2013
The logic is if marriage means everything, it means nothing.
Before everyone flies off the handle, I support SSM, but I don't support marginalizing those wary of this tremendous social change.

Discussions around Apple making a "World Phone" iPhone that could take advantage of both GSM and CDMA networks predates the launch of the Verizon iPhone. Yet while both the Verizon iPhone and the iPad 2 already feature the necessary chipsets to make it happen, the iPhone 5 should be the first device to take advantage of the hardware feature.

CAERNARFON, Wales – Twm Morys was boiling carrots for his children when he momentarily stopped to recite a 15th-century battle chant in Welsh. Beating out the guttural consonants with a stave on his kitchen floor until they rang in every last corner of his farmhouse, Morys, a well-known poet, said it was time to put "fire in the belly" of his people.
He is not the only one. In the ancient mountains towering above this coastal town in northern Wales, where 8 in 10 people speak the native Celtic tongue, and many carry names their fellow Britons would not dare pronounce, Welsh nationalists have their eyes firmly set on independence – Scottish independence.
Less than a month before Scotland holds a referendum on whether to leave Britain, Wales is watching with a mix of envy, excitement and trepidation.
"If Scotland votes yes, the genie is out of the bottle," said Leanne Wood, leader of Wales' nationalist party Plaid Cymru. Only 1 in 10 Welsh voters supports independence, compared with about 4 in 10 in Scotland, but Wood thinks that could change.
"The tectonic plates of the United Kingdom are shifting," she said.
Unlike Scotland, whose Parliament voted to join England three centuries ago, Wales was conquered in 1282. The Scots kept their own legal system, schools, universities, church and, with it all, a strong civic identity distinct from England's. Welsh institutions were swallowed whole; the Welsh dragon, which flutters proudly and ubiquitously on the high street in Caernarfon, is nowhere to be seen in the Union Jack.
"We were England's first colony," said Eirian James, owner of Palas Print, a local bookstore with mainly Welsh-language fare. Every time she visits relatives in southern Wales, she has to take a train through England. To this day, most transport links run from west to east, toward England, rather than along Wales' north-south axis.
Tremors from the Scottish debate can already be felt across Britain. Whatever happens Sept. 18, growing demands for more regional autonomy will reshape the country. In Northern Ireland, nationalists spy an opportunity to revive dreams of a united Ireland. Cornwall recently won minority status for its Celtic inhabitants. Even the long-neglected north of England has turned up the volume, questioning an ever greater concentration of wealth in London and the southeast.
But in Wales, perhaps more than anywhere else, nationalists have made the Scottish independence bid their own in the hope that it will stir passions at home – if not for full independence, at least for more self-government.
Wood, who was once expelled from a legislative debate for referring to Queen Elizabeth II as "Mrs. Windsor," has been to Scotland twice in support of the Yes campaign and plans to go again. The Welsh Hollywood actor Rhys Ifans has joined the #goforitScotland campaign. And Adam Price, an entrepreneur and prominent pro-independence thinker, has been campaigning in Scotland from a caravan, Welsh-style. "Caravaning for independence," he calls it.
Others, like Morys, will gather in the Welsh capital, Cardiff, the week before the referendum for a series of performances to "whip up some Welsh enthusiasm," stave in hand.
Wales and Scotland have much in common – not least an unfailing loyalty to any sporting side that plays against England, their once mighty and still dominant neighbor.
Ever since Margaret Thatcher, the conservative prime minister, shut their heavy industries, Scottish and Welsh voters have cast their ballot to the left of the English. There is, said Peter Florence, director of Wales' Hay literary festival, a shared sense of not being represented in Westminster.
But Wales is smaller and poorer than Scotland. It has no oil to make up for the subsidies from London currently sustaining its public services.
"We're a hundred years too late," Florence lamented, referring to the Welsh coal riches that once fired Britain's industrial revolution. If he were Scottish, he would vote for independence, he said. "But we simply cannot afford it."
Gerald Holtham, one of Wales' most prominent economists, has done the math: Total government spending for Wales is 30 billion pounds a year, or about $50 billion, and tax receipts come to 17 billion pounds.

I'm not sure if there is a iPod version of the program. My friend said she couldn't find it in the app store on her iPhone but I know there are a lot of other versions. It might be worth it to contact the developer and see if he/she is working on a iPhone version.
W3d2 done. Ran a different route today since I had 2 hours to burn while my kids were in art class. Ug, won't make that mistake again. The park I chose was all up/down paths and even when I managed to run on flat or down hill, I had to do the recovery walk up hill and so my legs were dying toward the end. I didn't even notice the difference in run times this time because I was so frustrated with the layout of where I was running. I was able to channel that frustration into a "you can't beat me" attitude. I learned that I like running the same route so I can feel how I am improving. Like oh, remeber when I used to be out of breath at this spot and now I cruise by it or if I can just make it to that house there I'm almost done.
Do most of you run the same route?
I usually run the same route, but I have a road I use if I go earlier because there is less traffic. It has a very small hill that I have to go up on the way back when I'm most tired. Plus a ton of barking dogs. Honestly from my house there aren't many choices. I would love to jog south because it's a tree lined road, but there are 2 wicked bends and people roar around them all the time. It's just too dangerous. Shame because it's so much prettier that way. Except for SIL's house that I'd have to pass and her and her DH are jerks so I'd likely end up breathing too heavy thinking about them. I have jogged at the park a few times when it's cool while my husband watches our son. But so far not this time. I would love to find some beautiful places to run.
Get up and try again! I think I must be setting a record for how many times I've been sidelined in my quest to actually run an entire 5K. Back injury, bronchitis, knee injury, bad cold, broken toe, biopsy. I am determined to make it.
2013 - Gritty Goddess Mud Run (Run/Walk)
2013 - Firefly Run (Run/Walk)
2014 - ??
My 6 year old ran in the Gritty Kids Mud Run and I couldn't keep up. LOL
My daughter and I finished W5D3 on Friday. But I realized I am using a different app than everyone else - 5K runner. Same results, different runs. So this past run was two eight minute runs with a five minute walk in between. Not a twenty minute run but still further than I've ever been able to run before. That's turning into my mantra - today I'm running further than I've ever run before. My daughter is doing great as well. Tomorrow starts week 6 with two ten minute runs. Yikes!
Congrats to everyone who is still sticking it out.
@mom2 Well, went ahead with W6D1 today since I was dragging this morning after a long (but fun) weekend. The 5/8/5 runs seemed more doable than a big 20! Plus, I figure whoever made the C25K program knows what they are doing when ramping it up so quickly, then backing off a bit after. I ran my usual route and hit the monster hill right at 4 minutes into the 8 minute interval. It took the majority of the next 4 minutes to make the climb, but I made it. Looking forward to the two 10s Wednesday.
@mb Your program seems to be a good one. I was shocked when I saw the C25K week 5 go from some 5s on D1 to a 20 on D3!
@mcm I liked running a different route Friday. Makes it new and changes it up a bit. I am reserving that new route for my long (20+) runs though. I am lucky that I have an entire paved neighborhood with no houses built yet to run on. Kind of like running at a park, but more secluded.
@Bau good job keeping up with the program, even during the hassle of a move!
@Taur 4 miles! Awesome, can't wait until I am at that point. I even started looking at what 5Ks are coming up around me. I feel I need to be able to comfortably run at least 4 miles before I enter one though.
Keep it up everybody, we are getting close to "graduation!"
C25k completed 7/27/2012
1st 5k: Alert Road Race 6/15/2013 - 34 minutes
Daughter and I completed our next run today. It was two ten minute runs with a five minute walk in between. We did it on an indoor track and, boy, that makes a difference. My daughter did not want to go today. Our last run was tough on her and I think she started losing some confidence. She bounced right back today. I'm actually thinking about signing up for a 5K.
Just joining you guys! Hi! Here in Chicago and on W1D2 - completed today. Read all of your comments. Huge props for the moms out there. I am only 27 and it's a challenge. Proud of you ladies!
Welcome Yad! This is a great group. No props for us Dads, though?

Having trouble responding. I tried several times last night and my post wouldn't go thru.
MB923 sounds like you are doing awesome. I'd love to compare our programs if you are willing to share what your jogs are each day. I always thought that the 20 minutes came about a week too soon. Which is why I'm not going to sweat rather I finish it or not when it comes.
Yad: Welcome to the group. Love to see new starters.
Camaro: Of course there are props for dad's too. It's a lot of work for anyone. Of course most of you guys have a bit of an edge on us. But if you are not already a runner or high fitness person it still takes hard work no matter who you are.
mcmegger: I like the same route for the same reason. I cruise past a spot I struggled past and it amazes me. After the 1st jog of a week I have an idea of where my next jogs might end and it makes me less anxious to check the time. But sometimes I enjoy seeing new things too. Looking forward to your next update.
I missed another day! My husband gave me such hard time about going Sunday night that I just threw up my hands in disgust and didn't go. Then I didn't sleep all night because I was mad at myself for adding a 3rd time in a row where I had 2 off days between jogs. I considered going at dawn, but between traffic and having been up all night (I was feeling exhausted.) I decided it was an accident waiting to happen. Last night at midnight I was on the road again. As usual started out struggling. It always seems to feel hard at 1st. The 2nd jog I was feeling really tired wondering if I was going to hit that bad day we all have sooner or later where it just isn't happening even after we work the kinks out. Felt a little better on the 3rd jog even though I wasn't ready by a long shot to go when the voice told me to. When I started that final 5 minute one I was feeling so tired. Just watching the road listening to my feet tap tapping along as the music played. I started singing some stupid song in my head from an old movie.. "Put one food in front of the other and soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor..." Not even sure I had the words right. LOL Just trying to keep moving. For a minute or so I swear I almost felt that elusive rythem that you hear about, the one where you could just keep running for awhile. When I looked at my time to see how much was left I had 6 seconds and I was thinking I feel like I could just keep going. I didn't because I didn't want to push it that much and I still haven't been feeling well. I swear when I checked the time it said I was doing a 10 point something minute mile. Must have been sweat in my eyes. LOL No way I was running that fast, I didn't even hit the 2 mile total mark today. Maybe 1.95 I think. By the end of my walk I was dragging so much that it told me my current pace was over 18 mm for the last 2 minutes or longer. I drug myself into the house to rest. Ended up with an average of 16.19 min/mile. W4D2 - done!
Get up and try again! I think I must be setting a record for how many times I've been sidelined in my quest to actually run an entire 5K. Back injury, bronchitis, knee injury, bad cold, broken toe, biopsy. I am determined to make it.

Geo - I'm sorry your husband isn't being more supportive. By this point, enough people know I'm doing this with my daughter that it would be pretty embarassing if we quit. I'm happy to share the program we're using. I'll start with week 5 but if you want me to go earlier, just let me know. They all start and end with five minute walks. W5D1: 5R, 3W, 6R, 3W, 5R. W5D2: 5R, 3W, 8R, 5W, 5R. W5D3: 8R, 5W, 8R. W6D1: 10R, 5W, 10R. W6D2: 10R, 3W, 10R. W6D3: 15R, 3W, 5R. W7D1: 20R. W7D2: 20R. W7D3: 25R. W8D1: 28R. W8D2: 30R. W8D3: 35R.
I was supposed to do my 20 minute W5D3 run yesterday morning, but my left heel was sore when my alarm went off, so I pushed it back to this morning. Had a GREAT run this morning! We had a storm blow through last night, so it was cooler and it started raining lightly just as I finished the 5 minute warm-up walk. I had the roads all to myself this morning and i didn't struggle at all on this run. I felt like I could have run much longer when I was done. That is a great feeling! My only complaint was that I forgot a hat since it was only cloudy when I started. I had a hard time keeping the rain out of my eyes. But I will gladly take that over sweating to death any day!
Just did W4D3. It really is easier if I run before I'm fully awake.
MB: Thanks for sharing. You are doing so great. I think I like your program better. At least for weeks 5,6 and 7. Do you not have a week 9? Week 9 day 3 for C25K is a 30 minute jog for the 3rd time. (Which I was hoping to lengthen so I was at least covering the 3 miles, including the warm up and cool down.) As slow as I was the 1st time I tried this I figured I'd need an extra 2 weeks to reach 5K. I'm still behind on distance vs time this time. I just can't do this for distance right now. I'm barely making some of the runs going for time. Plus my DH resents having to spend the time following me. I've told him it will be for 40 minutes toward the end of the program and he was clearly saying OK in a way that says "you owe me one." He is not on my "I'm happy with you list" today, he's on the other one that I dare not mention here. He knew I was stressed and upset and what did he do? He gave me 2 candy bars. It was all I could do to now rain fire down on his head. I've begged him to not do that, to put the chips in his closet or hide them so I don't know they are there and he doesn't think it's fair to him for me to ask that. Then he doesn't get why I feel like he's being selfish lately. It's not like I asked him to up his beloved chips just to put them up. Didn't even ask him to not eat them or his nightly ice cream in front of me. Just don't leave the bag lying on the couch and don't offer them to me. I love him but there are days I want to slap him into next week.
Kristi: Awesome job. The weather looks nice and rainy for the next week here in the Conroe area. So excited to know I have a good chance of jogging in some cooling rain. I'm really wanting to go right now to run off some of the aggravation with my husband, but I know less than 24 hours between runs is asking for an injury.
Liebeslide: Great job! Now I know why so many people jog in the morning. Heck if you could half your run in before you are really awake that means you only have to work for the 2nd half. Just watch out for zombies chasing you while you are still dreaming.
Get up and try again! I think I must be setting a record for how many times I've been sidelined in my quest to actually run an entire 5K. Back injury, bronchitis, knee injury, bad cold, broken toe, biopsy. I am determined to make it.

I started the program on June 18 and am repeating days to stretch it out over 12 weeks... So, tonight I did week 3 day 2. I am very surprised with the ease of running when you are using an app such as this and increasing the time and/or distance so gradually!
I'm just going by time right now. I haven't even clocked my distance. When I'm done with the whole program, I'll work on distance or speed, whichever I'm struggling most with.
I do my running every other night on a paved path through woods that connect to a park a few blocks away from my home. I go in the evenings and it is hot, but so worth it just to be moving!
My app is different than what most of you are using also. Here is the website of the one I'm using: http://felttip.com/run5k/
Happy running, everyone!
Dot in Oklahoma :-)
I tried skip a day and ended up paying for it big time. I decided to skip W3D3 and move right into W4D1 because I have had 2 rest days in a row twice this week and I want to get back on track. I also went to my hydrofit class last night and we had a new instructor that hadn't ever taught a hydrofit class or taken one so he was reading off exercises out of a binder and I think he had us doing our sets too long and in an illogical order.
The end result is that I was not able to finish W4D1 because my knees and hips were dying toward the end. I did fine for the first 2 runs (R3 W2.5 R5) but was seriously hurting during the next R3. When the final R5 came up I knew I was risking injury if I kept going. I also have to be careful of tendonitis and tendon rupture since its a side affect of a medication I was taking.
I think I just need to give myself permission to repeat week 3 and not worry about trying to keep pace with where I think I should be. Thanks so much to all of you who have been posting regularly. I was thinking of all of you while I was dying during the 3 minute run and just knowing that others have done it even though it was hard and even though I was dissapointed that I didn't complete the run I was looking forward to posting here to share my experience. Any progress is better than sitting on the couch and I will learn from my mistakes.
Keep up the good work and thanks for being here for me.

Stewart Downing haslaunched a passionate defence of his commitment to Liverpool.
After Kop boss Brendan Rodgers questioned the England winger's courage, Downing has defiantly hit back and admits he was disappointed that Rodgers went public with a stinging personal attack.
And he insists he will not be forced out of the club he joined from Aston Villa for £20million just 15 months ago.
"Bravery is a lot of things – it's not just about tackling," said Downing.
"That's not my game. My bravery is about taking the ball when you are losing a game and trying to create things. That's what I try to do. You will have to ask the manager exactly what he meant.
"I was surprised that he came out with what he did. I have spoken to him on numerous occasions when I wasn't in the team and that was private.
"So, of course, I'm upset. But I'm not going to go running around tackling people because that's not my game. I've got three years left on my contract and I'm going nowhere.
"I have worked hard to get here and I am not going to leave in a rush. I will fight for my place and I want to stay at Anfield."
Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher has been told he has a job for life at Anfield.

Vector graphics with Inkscape
When it comes to drawing with the computer, professionals often opt for vector graphics. Inkscape brings the power of vector graphics to Linux users. Our workshop demonstrates how to use the program.
Although you may be a genius with pen and paper, drawing directly on your computer will not always give you the glossy results you are looking for. When lines turn to squiggles, professionals turn to Bézier curves to help them draw smooth lines, with anchor points to define the path of the curve and tangents to define radii.
Even though major bitmap editors such as GIMP support Bézier curves, it takes a vector graphics program to leverage their true power [1].

After reading the comments I thought I'd experiment on the amount of cornmeal. Instead of 1.5 cups flour, I used 1 cup flour, and instead of 1/2 cup cornmeal, I used 1 cup cornmeal. They had the best of both worlds. Soft with flour but a bit more grainy with the cornmeal! I didn't have chives so instead I chopped up green onions, crumbled in some bacon and doubled the amount of cheese. I really liked the sour cream in them. I had to use a bit more milk that suggested. Ok, a few changes lol! But I think this is a great recipe as a starting point and easy to make adaptations.
Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits with Chives
From EatingWell: July/August 2008
These chive-flecked cornmeal biscuits taste best made with extra-sharp Cheddar, but any type of Cheddar will work.
7 Reviews for Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits with Chives
I instead of all white flour, I used 1/2 ww pastry flour. Used regular sour cream and dried chives. This is a great recipe--very flavorful and tender. It's not meant to be cornbread and I love the biscuit texture. It's great to cut the dough into squares instead of the traditional round biscuit. Definitely will make again. Served with black bean chili.
Oh wow. These are SO good! I made mine with rosemary instead of chives (and less than 1/4 cup) and it really enhanced the flavor! I used the honey which I didn't taste but that's probably because the fresh rosemary stole the show. I didn't taste the cheese so I may add more in the future. The sour cream definitely kept these moist! I made a similar recipe from this site (sage-scented cornmeal bicuits) and these were more sticky to work with but SOOOO worth it! A must try
These were nice for a change; I made them to go with broccoli and cheese soup. It's true; they aren't cornbread, but they're not supposed to be. It's like a cornbread-biscuit hybrid that is mostly biscuit, but has a nice grittiness that you associate with cornbread.
I used plain yogurt in place of the sour cream with no problem, and I also used sage instead of the chives (although less than it called for, since sage is stronger), since that's what I had. It worked great!
Been looking for a good biscuit recipe. Looks good!

Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Office of Personnel Management Director Kay Coles James believes it is important that federal employees be fully informed about the options of long-term care insurance and is urging department heads to make expert information about the OPM-sponsored Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program a routine part of agency retirement seminars.
James said: "I fully believe federal employees when presented with accurate and timely information can make good and timely decisions on their health-care and long-term care insurance. This is an issue of great importance to employees, but also a responsibility to their loved ones and their families."
In a November 10 memorandum to the heads of departments and agencies, James highlighted the importance of individuals looking into the FLTCIP as a way to plan for the potential health-care and financial needs of retirement, saying it can help "protect retirement assets against the potentially high cost of long-term care."
Under terms of the contract with OPM, James said Long Term Care Partners (LTC Partners), which underwrites the FLTCIP, will make available representatives who are "fully qualified" to provide detailed information on the FLTCIP, "answer specific questions about the Program, and provide one-on-one counseling" to employees. LTC Partners provides the expertise at no cost to government agencies.
James added that retirement seminars are "exceptional venues" for making representatives from LTC Partners available to provide "accurate information" on the FLTCIP.
Accompanying the memo was a Benefits Administration Letter containing contact information at LTC Partners so that agencies can arrange for expert representatives at retirement seminars.
James' memo is intended to ensure that agencies have FLTCIP representatives on hand at retirement seminars to provide employees with a full range of options and information that will allow them to compare their product with the insurance products of outside financial planners and agents attending the seminars.
"This is all about educating employees and giving them choices," said James. "The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program is an outstanding value that offers benefits people desire and at affordable rates, and which should appeal to many, many employees."
Coverage under the FLTCIP became available last year to employees and retirees of the federal government and the U.S. Postal Service, active and retired members of the uniformed services, and qualified relatives. To date, more than 200,000 individuals are enrolled in the program.

Breast Cancer (cont.)
More Medical Treatment: Monoclonal Antibodies and Surgery
Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies against proteins in or around a cancer cell. Antibodies recognize an "invader" -- in this case, a cancer cell -- and attack it.
Surgery is generally the first step after the diagnosis of breast cancer. The type of surgery is dependent upon the size and type of tumor and the patient's health and preferences. The choice of procedures should be discussed with your health-care team as any approach has advantages and disadvantages.

U.S. Stocks Fall; Euro Gains With Pound on Economic Data
U.S. stocks fell for the third time in four days as American International Group Inc.'s profit disappointed investors and Twitter Inc. slumped. The euro and Spanish bonds gained on signs economies are strengthening.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.9 percent at 4 p.m. in New York as AIG led financials lower. The Nasdaq Composite Index sank 1.4 percent while Twitter slid 18 percent and an exchange-traded fund tracking social media stocks slid to the lowest since July. Ten-year Treasury yields lost 1.5 basis points to 2.59 percent. The euro rose 0.4 percent versus the dollar while the pound added 0.7 percent. Spain's 10-year yield fell to a record. Nickel and lead rose at least 0.9 percent.
Twitter sank as about 480 million shares from insiders became eligible for sale, more than quadrupling the amount available for trading. After financial markets closed in New York, Chinese Internet company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. filed for what could become the largest U.S. initial public offering ever. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed as exports grew the most in nine months. Spanish jobless claims fell and services growth quickened in Germany, Italy and Ireland in April.
"It's not a robust season," Peter Tuz, who helps manage more than $450 million as president of Chase Investment Counsel Corp. in Charlottesville, Virginia, said by phone. "The market is going to be range bound without a clear trend until economic statistics point one way or another, and companies' outlooks point one way or another."
U.S. Stocks
U.S. stocks rose yesterday as an expansion in American service industries offset concern over growth in China and political tensions in Ukraine. The Dow Jones Industrial Average last week climbed to an all-time high, while the S&P 500 briefly rose above its record closing price.
Merck & Co., Pfizer Inc., Home Depot Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. lost at least 1.6 percent to pace declines in 27 of the 30 stocks in the Dow today. AIG, the largest commercial insurer in the U.S. and Canada, slid 4.1 percent after saying profit declined 27 percent as claims costs climbed at the property-casualty business.
Twitter sank to $31.85, extending its 2014 loss to 50 percent. The stock sold for $26 in its initial public offering in November and closed as high as $73.31 in December.
Other Internet stocks were punished. Yelp Inc. slid 13 percent, the most since November 2012, while Pandora Media Inc. lost 8.9 percent after plunging 17 percent on April 25. LinkedIn Corp. decreased 5.7 percent while Facebook Inc. and Angie's List Inc. fell more than 4 percent.
Social Media
Along with Twitter, those companies make up some of the biggest holdings in the Global X Social Media ETF, an exchange-traded fund listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. That security declined 3.8 percent today, the sixth time in two weeks it has fallen more than 1 percent. It's down 21 percent in 2014 after rising 64 percent last year.
David Einhorn, the hedge-fund manager who warned of a bubble in technology stocks two weeks ago, refined his stance by saying he's bullish on the industry and that companies including Apple Inc. look underpriced.
The comments elaborate on an April 22 investor letter when he described an unjustified surge in technology stocks, reminiscent of the late 1990s, and said he was betting against a group of them. Einhorn's holdings include investments in iPhone maker Apple, Micron Technology Inc. and Marvell Technology Group Ltd., which are "quite inexpensive," he said on today's call.
"However, we have identified a number of momentum technology stocks that have reached prices beyond any normal sense of valuation," he said. "We believe that they are in a bubble and we have shorted a good number of them in what we call the 'bubble basket.'"
There are dozens of companies in that group, he told Bloomberg Television's Erik Schatzker and Stephanie Ruhle in an interview today, without providing specifics. The stocks are "completely out of control in terms of their valuation," he said.
Three shares fell for every two that gained in the Stoxx Europe 600, with trading volumes 18 percent lower than the 30-day average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Stocks in the U.K. fell as the equity market reopened following a holiday.
Barclays, Britain's second-biggest bank, fell 5.2 percent after saying pretax profit dropped 5 percent. Balfour Beatty Plc sank 20 percent after the chief executive officer of Britain's biggest construction company quit.
Europe Equities
Fugro NV lost 7.2 percent after the deepwater-oilfield surveyor forecast its first-half profit margin dropped from the same period a year ago.
PostNL NV rallied 10 percent after the Dutch postal company reported an increase in underlying operating income.
The yield on 10-year Italian bonds slid four basis points to a record 3 percent. The rate on benchmark German bunds was little changed at 1.46 percent.
Spanish jobless claims fell 111,565 in April, the Labor Ministry in Madrid said today, exceeding the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey for a drop of 51,000. A Purchasing Managers' Index for services in the euro region rose to 53.1 last month from 52.2 in March, Markit Economics said. A gauge of employment in the U.K. services industry jumped to 56 from 53.5.
Better Data
"There's better economic data out of Spain this morning," said Rainer Guntermann, a fixed-income strategist at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. "Economic fundamentals in the peripheral countries are improving and that explains the rally here. This trend is not yet over."
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development cut its global growth forecast as expansions in China and other emerging markets slow. The world economy will expand 3.4 percent this year instead of the 3.6 percent predicted in November, according to its semi-annual report today.
Ukraine's efforts to regain ground from pro-Russian militants in eastern cities were undermined as insurgents killed four government troops and downed a military helicopter.
Efforts by Ukraine's government to expel insurgents from the easternmost regions are at risk of stalling before a May 25 presidential election. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. President Barack Obama have set the vote as a deadline for Russia to reject the separatists' actions and withdraw support or possibly face deeper economic sanctions.
Russia is convinced that Ukraine has a way out of the crisis, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today.
Russia Index
Stocks advanced for the first time in three days in Moscow, with the Micex Index climbing 1.6 percent. The ruble gained 0.9 percent against the dollar. Ukraine's hryvnia slipped 1.4 percent while the equity gauge was little changed.
The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 commodities increased less than 0.1 percent. Nickel jumped 33 percent this year as Indonesia banned exports of unrefined ore. Lead dropped about 5 percent this year.

In the passed, I have used clonezilla, sysprep and a volume licence keep to clone images to many computers. This was based on Windows XP.
How about Windows 7 pro? Will the steps be exactly the same? As in
- Setup a PC as required
- Sysprep it with a volume license key
- Clone the HDD/partition using clone zilla to an img
- Clone the img to the rest of the computers
Or has cloning changed since XP, and is there a newer way of doing this without using sysprep?
Production environment
Microsoft does not support the use of Sysprep for the following scenarios
To run sysprep after imaging or cloning production computer for the purpose of changing the SID and computername to join the domain and make the computer unique. For example if you cloned or performed a Physical to Virtual(P2V) of a computer but want to leave the source computer running instead of decommissioning it.
With Windows XP, I used sysprep with cloning so when clones and switched on for the first time, I would be able to give the computer a name so it's unique on the network.
Looks like micosoft will not support such a scenario with windows 7.
So what's the alternative?

I have a version of Windows 7 Home Premium that's had termserv.dll patched to allow RDP. This works fine, but what I'd like to do is allow RDP sessions to view the console session without require confirmation on the console (this is for remote control of an HTPC).
The information I've found leads me through a Group Policy Editor path to enable this, but the name of the setting seems to have changed between Win 2003 (which is what I found the instructions for) and Win 7. Additionally, Home Premium doesn't include gpedit.msc so I'm going to have to change the appropriate registry values by hand.
What do I have to change in the registry to allow prompt-free RDP Console sessions in Windows 7 Home Premium?


text: AdChoices Terms of Use Privacy Policy Hide TOP 10 Top 10 Sports Top 10: Jose Mourinho Moments Share Tweet 0 Shares 4. The special defeat Anyone who knows Jose Mourinho would never fathom that the ultra-competitive coach could ever be pleased after a loss. But after Inter was defeated 1-0 by FC Barcelona in the second leg of the 2010 Champions League semifinal, Mourinho called the loss "the sweetest 1-0 defeat of my life." The reason for his optimism was his squad's 3-1 defeat of Barcelona in the first leg, which was enough to advance them to the finals, despite the loss. What made the feat more impressive was the fact that Inter played most of the match shorthanded. Mourinho went on to say: "It was incredibly tense today, against a team such as Barcelona, with 10 men, it was something historical, mythical." We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Jose.

Uh... did anyone notice a few buzz noises that sort of snap you back into reality? I mean, I don't know if it's just my computer, but it sounds like it has a few spots that need to be patched up...

Lovers 1980
Bronze and Travertine marble 649 x 1410 x 450 (25 9/16 x 55 ½ x 17 ¾)
Presented by the Friends of the Tate Gallery 1983
Purchased from the artist by the Friends of the Tate Gallery 1983
Friends of the Tate Gallery Annual Report 1st May 1983-30th April 1984, London 1984, p.14, reproduced
Tate Gallery Acquisitions 1982-4, London 1986, p.279
Alan Bowness, Bernard Meadows: Sculpture and Drawings, London 1995, pp.17-18, 20, 125, pl.112 (colour)
Tim Hilton, 'Just a Little Bit Moore', Independent on Sunday, 24 September 1995, p.22, reproduced
Bernard Meadows retired from his prestigious position as Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 1980. As a result, he lost his studio at the college and took a space in a shopping parade in a council estate at the World's End in London's Chelsea. The plaster for this sculpture was made there and the bronze was cast at the Royal College.[1] The studio was not successful and Meadows abandoned it and was given an alternative at Henry Moore's home and workplace at Perry Green, Much Hadham in Hertfordshire. After the stability of the Royal College, these practical problems restricted the artist's output of sculpture and, as a consequence, Lovers is one of his last major sculptural statements. It is number BM 127 in a list of one hundred and thirty works in his catalogue raisonné.[2]
The sculpture was made in four sections which are bolted together. At one end is a relatively rectilinear 'C' shape; there is a pair of apparently squashed forms in the middle, and a cluster of organic 'buds' at the other end. The sculpture was hollow-cast in bronze in 1982 and it is possible to see where the different sections were welded together after casting around the necks of the bud-like forms and across the middle of the rectilinear section. The artist has explained that the unpatinated bronze was given a 'satin' finish by rubbing with wet and dry paper and a surface patterning - swirling in the flat areas, shorter in corners and around curves – can be seen. Despite this working of the surface, the bronze is still pitted and the polishing has revealed areas of different coloured metal. The finish was protected by a layer of lacquer, applied after the work arrived at the Tate Gallery, which can be seen to have run in places. Meadows explained that this was an attempt at resisting the inevitable dulling of the polished bronze.
This is the second cast in an edition of three and another is in the Hakone Museum in Japan. That cast, which is reproduced in colour in the artist's catalogue raisonné, retains its high polish and does not have a Travertine base like the Tate's.[3] The artist sent photographs of the plaster for this sculpture to the Tate in May 1982 and the purchase was agreed. On 4 October 1983 the director, Alan Bowness, visited the artist's studio and saw the bronze, which was delivered to the gallery in time for the meeting of the Board of Trustees on 17 November. It was only towards the end of February 1984 that Meadows visited the gallery to lacquer the piece and attach it to the base, which he had sent earlier.[4]
Meadows's sculpture had been made up of such highly polished bronze pieces since the second half of the 1960s. Until then his bronzes were characteristically dark and this was first interrupted by a shiny element with Armed Bust: Two Eyes, 1965,[5] in which two polished organic forms stand as representations of the eyes in the title. Though this suggestion of surveillance recurred in other pieces, the forms also took on a more generalised organicism. The apparent softness of the forms suggested associations with fruit and breasts which signalled a broadly procreative theme. Despite this aspect, such motifs as Pointing Figure, 1967 (Arts Council Collection)[6] represented the continuation of his fascination with ideas of threat and vulnerability. Such a theme may be witnessed in Lovers, which the artist described as 'a soft form squeezed between two harder forms, the one cubic and immobile, the other more aggressive'.[7] The concept had been used in an earlier work, Help, 1966 (Bristol Museum and Art Gallery)[8] and the artist recognised Lovers as 'developed out of' that piece.[9]
In 1998, Meadows identified the two similar forms in the middle of the work as the lovers of the title.[10] The use of a simple, reflected shape derived from Constantin Brancusi's The Kiss, 1912 (Philadelphia Museum of Art), though the block-like elements of that seminal modernist work were transformed by Meadows into softer, cushion-like pieces.[11] A very deliberate hollow between them was identified as equivalent to the eyes in the Brancusi, though such a deep orifice between two closely conjoined forms may be felt to introduce a sexual undertone. While the two central elements are the lovers, the artist intended the outer sections to represent their masculine and feminine characteristics. On one side, the 'cubic and immobile'[12] element stands for what he saw as male stability, contrasted with the more variable 'flibbertigibbet' quality of the female.[13] That the forms of the latter suggest buds or fruit may also be seen to symbolise an association of femininity with fecundity and procreation. The use of abstract sculptural form to symbolise human qualities may be seen to summarise much of the work that had preceded Lovers.

Zephyr Gail born at home 4~16~14
You have me in tears. How beautiful and what wonderful photos. When you write the midwife saying 'feel his head' I get flashbacks to my daughter's birth when my midwife and doula kept insisting I feel her head and I just wouldn't do anything to break my spell. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to keep going or loose my focus.

Onkyo E700M In-ear headphones Black with microphone
"Let's be clear from the outset - I'm not overly qualified to provide an in depth review on in-ears. I own a pair of Sony EX650's based on Whathifi's review/award and that's about all I have as a comparison when it comes to in-ears. I have had a number of decent on and over ears and my current pair are some Sennheiser HD25's (which I love for the price). not had too many complaints with the..." --mattjay84
Onkyo IE-FC300 In-Ear Headphones
"Design: The body of these buds are really large, especially the driver portion which I feel is fairly thick. They are comfortable if the large drivers do fit on the outer portion of your ear but people with small ears will probably experience some discomfort. The detachable cables are a dual pronged sword. Its nice that you can switch out the cables if you want to, but as I have experienced..." --theinvertedsky

Denon AH-C551K In-Ear Headphone
" I looked around for a review on these and didnt find many, so bought a pair and heres what i found out. - Nice build quality - Good comfortable fit - Worst cable design I have ever seen (wtf were they thinking?!) - Easy to be driven - Extremely well defined mids & highs (these are not laid back and softsounding!) - Good soundstage..." --fabiosouzajr

DENON AH-C560 Black | In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Japan Import)
"I bought these last summer during a visit to Taiwan. I had hoped to buy a replacement Audio-Technica CKM500 (which broke) but they have been replaced with the CKR5 which are a bit of a let-down with its bloated bass and congested soundstage. After trying out various headphones, the salesperson suggested the AH-C560, a mid-range Denon IEM released in 2010. Although they have been considered..." --FYLegend
Denon AH-C360 Advanced In-Ear Headphones
" I've tried out several pairs of in-ear phones and never got used to the feel of them. These are much more inviting straight away, as several earpads of different sizes are included. I found my size and was off to the races. The cable is a bit short, and I usually have to bring the included extension cable along with me on my commute. This is not a problem, just an..." --phallumontis
Denon AH-C400
Denon's new $249 AH-C300 may be the biggest, bassiest in-ear monitor in headphone history. Each of the IEM's seemingly bulky earpieces has one of Denon's patented Double Air Compression Drivers. It's an arrangement with dual 11mm drivers, both firing at each other into a chamber that vents directly to your ear. A miniature control wheel gives the same functionality as on...
Denon AH-C560R Premium Mobile Elite In-Ear Headphones with 3-Button Remote and Microphone (Black)
"OK so this headphone has been a trial for me. I bought with high hopes as I was looking for a AH-D7000 equivalent in in an IEM and in this case a $90 IEM, not a small order! So the question is did it achieve my goal and is it a worthy $90 contender? To answer my first question I can say it's not my D7000 but it does a VERY good job of coming close and is worth trying for anyone looking..." --dweaver

Bragging rights were on the line, not to mention a shiny trophy. Rowing is a sport that requires strength, precision, and a boatload of desire.
With varying degrees of practice, time and experience from boat to boat, it was a staggered start. The KOMO crew was behind, but in no time, was working together like a well-oiled machine.
KOMO beat the competition, and in traditional championship fashion threw their coxsawin in the drink.
