"James S. McDonnell Planetrium-Science Center" Top 5 Page for this destination Saint Louis Things to Do Tip by BruceDunning
Saint Louis Things to Do: 417 reviews and 752 photos
If you go here, you need to plan your visit when the have a movie inside the planetarium; otherwise you will not be able to see the site. Cost of the show is $6 range and features various topics, depending on the day and time. It is in an Omnimax theater. The lobby has space memorabilia of the space flights and some capsules.
Connected to this area is a walkover above Hwy 40/64 to the Science Center. It is nearly all laid out for kids to see, do and play, with many interactive things to play with. This was not my favorite place to go to, and the noise is like being in a cage at the zoo. They also have shows of magic and science topics for the kids. I guess if you got the-then they could be entertained for the day here.

I click the button to authorize and after that it returns to the same page the same way, with no field to enter password and twitter and get no authorization page. I've tried to do this on several blogs and returns with the same problem. I wonder if there is something wrong with the plugin and if someone goes with the same problem.

WASHINGTON - On Nov. 11, 1918, after four years of brutal conflict, the guns of the First World War finally fell silent. In America, we marked the occasion as Armistice Day, a celebration of peace that envisioned an end to all wars.
Sadly, this vision was a mirage. Future generations of Americans would march again into battle in defense of freedom, and many made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. Thankfully, many more returned home to their loved ones and a grateful nation.
Today we remember Nov. 11 as Veterans Day, and with solemn pride we pay tribute to the heroes who have given so much to preserve our liberty and our way of life.
Our government has a fundamental responsibility to provide for these brave warriors when they leave the battlefield. As your U.S. senator, I strive to honor our veterans' service. And, as ranking member of the Senate Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee, I take special care in crafting legislation that funds the Department of Veterans Affairs and important Department of Defense projects.
I have worked with my colleagues to secure resources for vital initiatives in this year's appropriations bill, including a $66 million state-of-the-art polytrauma treatment facility in San Antonio and a much needed expansion of veteran health care services in the Rio Grande Valley.
However, recent events in Congress endangered this essential funding for our troops and veterans. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have passed the appropriations bill, and a joint conference committee has approved text that President Bush has pledged to sign.
Yet, rather than sending this bill to the president, some of my colleagues sought to attach it to the Labor, Health and Human Services spending bill. They took this step with full knowledge of the president's intention to veto the Labor-HHS bill, and their actions willingly imperiled support for our veterans and active duty service members.
Although ultimately unsuccessful, this political maneuvering jeopardized crucial funding for our veterans in a time of war. Now the bill will take more valuable time, and funding for our veterans has been delayed significantly .
The Senate's responsibility to our veterans also includes providing capable leadership at the agency they depend upon.
For this reason, we must expeditiously confirm the president's nominee to head the VA - retired Army Lt. Gen. James B. Peake. Gen. Peake's career spans more than 40 years in the field of military medicine, including four years as surgeon general of the Army. He particularly understands the needs of Texas veterans, having served as commander of the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. If confirmed as VA secretary, he would be the first physician and first retired general to hold the post.
We celebrate Veterans Day to honor and remember the heroes who have fought to defend what we hold most dear.
The actions of our government must reflect our gratitude, and our decisions must be worthy of their sacrifices. Please join me by taking time to thank the veterans and active duty troops in your community.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican from Texas, serves as the ranking member on the Senate Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee and is a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

Released: Jul 01st, 1987
Running Time: 80
Director: Paul Norman
Company: Catalina Video
Cast: Tony Martino, Tiffany Blake, Ashley King, Colt Jackson, Kevin Donovan, Jeanna Fine, Nikki Randall, Randy Cochran, Nicole Michelle, Joe Gibbons
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Heatwaves is a feature that directs itself to an area of voyeurism which has become a new magnet for the adult viewer with varied tastes. Just as anal and interracial sex was always there, the recent explosion of bisexual productions has created a new area of "different" pleasures. One needs only to look back to a film called Both Ways to see how far the genre has come in just a couple of years.
A group of attractive people have hired a yacht to explore romantic new areas, and while their initial sexual drives head them down proven paths, it doesn't take long for them to start exploring previously unchartered areas. The camera work is marvelously explicit and the characters perform their sexual exploits with vigor.
The fault I find with this genre is that while producers in general have always felt free to deal with two women making love, there is still a taboo with two men. This sexual form is still the exclusive of "male films." In every bi-sexual film I have seen except Both Ways, coupling between two men is always at the direction of the women involved. We have crossed many boundaries in the Eighties and it is time to accept the fact that homosexual male love does not have to be heterosexual turn on. The audience who will watch this and other bi-sex features should be intelligent enough to accept it.
My recommendation, therefore, is that if you are mature enough to not be turned off by homosexual acts, this is an excellent video as far as it goes. Watch it to see how far we have come in a short time and hope as I do, that this is the beginning of a new understanding of the sexual freedom of our time.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Safe to say this is an epic week in the nation's capital. John Roberts and the Supremes ruled on immigration and will opine on health care. The Wizards, again, own a lottery pick in the NBA draft, while the Nationals reside in first place.
Where did Tuesday's huddle of the Bowl Championship Series' Presidential Oversight Committee rank on that food chain? Well, given the hammerlock football has on America, and the college game's Dark Ages inclinations, even Justices Scalia and Sotomayor might agree the news is historic.
Major college football has adopted its first playoff, the manner in which every other team sport known to humankind determines its champion. The modest, four-team bracket, chosen by committee and weighted toward conference champions, will begin in 2014 and run 12 years.
Semifinals will rotate among six bowls with the title game awarded to the highest bidder, much like the Super Bowl.
And why, after decades of flawed polls and difficult-to-digest formulas determining its champion, did college football find enlightenment?
An XL reason, of course, is money. The annual playoff windfall could top $500 million, more than triple the current system.
But another reason is you, the fan. You demanded better, and you were heard.
"Nobody's happy with the current system," understated Virginia Tech President Charles Steger, chair of the oversight panel.
Steger and 11 other presidents convened at 3 p.m., at a posh hotel and heard a presentation from conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick. Last week, that group reached consensus on the four team model.
The presidents took less than three hours to approve the plan.
"There is not a shrinking violet on this platform," Steger said, referring to his presidential colleagues. "There was differences of views. I think it would be a serious mistake to assume it was a rubber stamp."
Steger and Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive unearthed the ancient argument against an eight- or 16-team playoff: interference with academics. It's a tired refrain, but given the foolishness replete in past postseasons, any playoff is progress.
The emergence of a committee to choose the playoff teams did not surprise. Three influential commissioners — Slive, the Big Ten's Jim Delany and Big 12's Bob Bowlsby — have not only served on but also chaired the NCAA basketball tournament selection panel.
The size and composition of the committee are unknowns, and several of my esteemed national colleagues have suggested media inclusion. That's more unwise than taunting Alabama's defense, for two reasons.
First, other committee members would be reticent if they believed/feared their every word would soon be on Twitter and in blogs. That's no way to honestly debate the merits of playoff contenders.
Second, if deliberations were off-the-record, every reporter in the room would be compromised. I just can't see any reporter, or his organization, agreeing to such terms.
ACC commissioner John Swofford originally opposed a committee, preferring instead the four highest-rated conference champions in the playoff, a format that would have improved his league's chance of making the playoff.
The compromise, he said, is "the best of both worlds. With a committee you get a human element and multiple sets of eyeballs actually looking at teams and considering head-to-head competition, strength of schedule. I think that's satisfactory. We'll have to see once the committee goes into action year in and year out. But the first two things on the list are winning a conference championship and strength of schedule."

Product Description
Quill & Quire
From a young age, Canadians learn about our country's most famous painting movement in art classes, yet the Group of Seven's dramatic landscapes and blazing depictions of Canada's wilderness still don't seem to get the respect they deserve.
Ross King, the best-selling author of Brunelleschi's Dome and, more recently, Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, redresses this imbalance by situating the group of artists within a larger historical context. His compellingly detailed account begins in 1912, as the painters were just meeting, and continues through the Great War, culminating with the group's eventual disbanding in the 1930s. King's elegant prose is a joy to read as he introduces each figure, giving the reader a rare glimpse into the lives of young men who were united by the desire to create a distinctly Canadian painting style at a time when critics, collectors, and the public were hostile toward the aspiring modernists.
The book opens with Tom Thomson and A.Y. Jackson, who met as young designers at Grip Painting and Publishing Co., en route to paint in Algonquin Park. The paintings of another co-worker, J.E.H. Macdonald, were noticed by Lawren Harris, scion of the wealthy Massey-Harris family, whose own artistic sensibility had been influenced by Edvard Munch and the Gruppe der Elf (Group of Eleven). Together, Harris and Macdonald established the Studio Building on Toronto's Severn Street and recruited Thomson, Jackson, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, and a few others to join them.
The book follows these artists – then known as the Algonquin Park School – as they struggle to earn a living, aided by their patron, Dr. MacCallum, and National Gallery of Canada director Eric Brown. The Group also faced detractors, including the notably crabby Saturday Night assistant editor Hector Charlesworth, the painter Carl Ahrens, and even, in later years, Prime Minister Mackenzie King.
The heady relationships among the men – from Thomson as MacDonald's protégé to Harris as the group's de facto leader – emerge throughout the book, and King spends considerable time recounting each artist's adventures during the First World War. By the time the group officially formed in 1920, their style was already outdated in Europe, but readers of this book will be reminded of their tremendous achievements, which provide a timeless reflection of our country's magnificent landscape.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
"It's to dispel the myth of [uncultured artists] that Ross King has risen to the challenge of writing yet another book on the gang. It is a real collective biography, focusing on the personalities of the painters, their influences and the swirling currents of nationalism, theosophy and Whitmanesque transcendentalism they were caught up in." (Toronto Star 2010-12-02)
"In Defiant Spirits, King gets at much more than what the Group of Seven painted; he discloses who the men were and brings them to life." (Eye Weekly 2010-12-01)
"Ross King's collective look at the Group of Seven not only paints vivid portraits of the individual artists, but it reaffirms their place in Canadian cultural history and offers a clearer understanding of what it was like to persist in artistic activity." (Globe & Mail 2010-11-27)
"Ross King's Defiant Spirits not only situates Tom Thompson, A.Y. Jackson, et al in their historical contexts, it also conveys their emerging artistic sensibilities and their desire to create an authentic Canadian art, even in the face of institutional hostility." (Quill & Quire 2010-11-23)
"If Ross King were a geologist, he'd have made millions striking untapped rivulets of gold or oil in overlooked places. Instead, as an art historian, he mines nuggets of obscure information that he forges into page-turners about Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Manet and, in this new book, the Group of Seven." (Montreal Gazette 2010-11-19)
"[Defiant Spirits] is a paradigm shift. With his usual spirited prose and faultless research, King makes internationalists out of the Group of Seven, showing them responding and reacting to the art of their day and the socio-political upheavals brought about by the First World War. These were ambitious artists and King never lets them settle into the comforts of cottage life and Canadiana." (Canadian Art 2010-10-01)
"King, an admirably industrious researcher and deft writer, already much admired for his books on the Renaissance, splendidly braids together the lives of eight painters, the seven members of the Group and Tom Thomson. His skill and intelligence make Defiant Spirits an essential addition to any library of Canadian art history." (National Post 2010-09-28)
"With Defiant Spirits, King, as in his other biographical art histories, takes on big subjects, big personalities and big events and weaves them into a concise, entertaining narrative. He is a master researcher and biographer and this book serves as an informative introduction to an important era in Canadian art history." (Telegraph Journal 2010-10-16)
"Biographer and historian King traces the roots of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven back to 1912, when their exposure to the works of Cezanne, van Gogh and other European modernist artists combined with their love of the Canadian wilderness to create a new and totally Canadian style." (Globe & Mail 2011-07-23)
"King's writing is characterized by clarity, compassion, and humanist intelligence...The personal, political, and aesthetic obstacles they encountered are described here with sympathy, so that we feel we've actually met these individuals -- the goal of any good biography." (Library Journal 2011-10-31)
"King's book does an excellent job of exploring the roles of these visionary individuals in the shaping of an artistic cultural identity." (Publishers Weekly 2011-12-10)
"King's book functions spectacularly, both as compelling biography and (more importantly) as internationally contextualized art history, and the thoroughness and quality of its research are sure to make it a standard reference work for students (of all stripes) of Thomson and the Group." (Canadian Literature 2013-09-26)

Lawren Harris has held my fascination for some time for his blue-and-white Arctic-themed pictures, and I was able to find out about his spring trip to Labrador. Also engaging was the backgrounder on WWI and A.Y. Jackson's sacrifice in it as contrasted with Tom Thomson, who got vilified by some for not enlisting, which King set as part of the backdrop for Thomson's possibly most famous last piece, the Jack Pine.
And all over the place, all these vignettes are so nicely placed, I'll just have to reread the book, this time in the right order. And then go visit the Group of Seven exhibit at the AGO with fresh eyes.
The author, Ross King, has done an extensive amount of research to put this book together. I found the style of his writing made the collection of artists and the history of Canada well done. Especially the political troubles of the First World War.
This excellent piece of writing is the kind of book that I enjoy being an artist who is still studying, I also have a deep love for Canadian history.
Wonderous stuff.
I also suggest the book, Picturing the Land: Narrating Territories in Canadian Landscape Art, 1500-1950

10,000 RPM Artificial Heart With No Pulse Replaces Human/Animal Hearts

Artificial heart
(Source: popsci.com)
Currently, 50 calves and three humans are using the pump, which completely replaces their natural hearts
Researchers from the Texas Heart Institute have successfully replaced the human heart with a 10,000-RPM
artificial pump
, which leaves its patients with absolutely no pulse.
Popular Science
described the artificial heart, which doesn't resemble an organic heart by any means. Currently, 50 calves and three humans are using the pump, which completely replaces
their natural hearts
Drs. O.H. "Bud" Frazier and Billy Cohn of the Texas Heart Institute in Houston are the creators of the artificial pump. It is able to fully replace the heart and even provide a continuous flow of blood throughout the body -- all without having to recreate a pulse.
Creating an artificial heart has been difficult up until now. Many have tried to make a metal and plastic heart that is capable of beating, but many were unable to continuously beat beyond an 18-month period. Also, metal and plastic have many limitations, such as the requirement of an air compressor outside of the body where a hose through the skin allows the compressor to fill a balloon inside a chamber, which pushes blood to the lungs. The other balloon inflates and deflates in an alternating pattern with the other to recreate the heart's beating rhythm. This is exactly what the Jarvik-7 -- the first machine to replace the human heart -- did in 1982.
There have been other devices, such as the HeartMate ll, which is an Archimedes' screw that assists failing hearts with magnets implanted in the axle and an electric coil in its case where a charge makes its way around the coil, moving the screw at 8,000 to 12,000 RPMs. The axle spins on a synthetic-ruby bearing, which is lubricated by blood, and it's all connected to a portable battery. But the HeartMate ll can't replace the heart entirely.
Cohn and Frazier's continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD), however, can replace the heart and doesn't require a compressor because the researchers discovered that recreating the pulse wasn't necessary. The trickiest part to creating an artificial heart was recreating the pulse, but Cohn and Frazier found that just using a continuous-flow heart solved the issue of longevity, which is the main issue. One of the turbines used in the artificial heart has been running in a lab continuously for eight years, and it runs on a small battery that the patient can easily carry on their shoulder.
Cohn and Frazier described a recent process where the LVAD was placed in a calf named Meeko, who lived on to lead a normal life. However, he didn't have a pulse whatsoever, which didn't seem to be a problem. Cohn performed the surgery by peeling tissue from around the heart and allowed a
heart-lung machine
to take over. The heart was cut free, and continued to beat outside of the body. Cohn then sewed collars of rubberized Dacron onto the atria. He then lifted the turbines from a dish of saline with the dolly dresses dangling from them. The dolly dresses were sewed onto the collars, and the turbines were activated.
"That's what heart surgery is," said Cohn. "It's a script. To you, it probably looked like I was just sewing those collars into Meeko's chest any old way. But every motion was planned, tested, practiced. Turn my hand eight degrees and poke the needle through; swivel my hand back 22 degrees and draw the needle up four inches; turn my hand back just so and bring it to the left a half inch: a precise number of stitches, pulled just so tight and no tighter. What heart surgery takes is remembering an incredibly long and complicated script and following it exactly, step by step."

RE: Hmm..
Man, when did all the dumbasses of the world come to DailyTech?
Reclaimer77 already told you, accurately, there's no overpopulation problem.
Hell, you yourself just explained what you'd have to do to prove it. Fly over the United States. You know why you see a lot of farms in the U.S.?
Government. Subsidies.
We also export a lot of that food to other countries, which you'd know if you'd bothered to do a little research.
And yeah, you're right, if you flew over the United States in 1812, you'd see a lot more woods than you would today. But if you flew over the U.S. in 1899, you'd see a less woods than you would today. Yeap, that's right, we have more forest in 2012 than we did in 1899.
Because we're SMARTER. We've learned how to do a lot more with a lot less.
You're absolutely right about overfishing, but that's a problem that'll eventually take care of itself. If its truly a dire problem, as you claim it is, then fish will become far more expensive and people will eat something else.
Travel back to New York City or Maine to the year 1900. You could get a 3 pound lobster for pennies? Why? Because lobsters eat shit and anything else on the ocean floor, that's why. They were a throwaway fish. Just like skate was 10 years ago. Now the world's finest chefs are making dishes from skate.
Do we have problems? Yeah, we have problems... every culture in the entire world has problems. The earliest humans that traveled out of central Africa and started moving along the coastline had problems too, like, "How the f**k do I get the meat outta this shell??"
But they figured 'em out! Guess what, we will too!

Nice review. I look forward to going to this show. I thought they did a great job with "American Trailer Park Musical" at Carte Blanch last year also.

Is bespoke associated with the American South, as "bonafied" (bona fide, properly) is to me? When I hear the latter, it brings to mind aristocratic Southern gentlemen sipping mint juleps; when I hear the former, it brings to mind some Negro sharecropper telling his son, "we're gonna get you your first bespoke suit..." I can't recall where these images come from, exactly....

Is the word "bespoke" associated with Southern American English, kind of how "bonafied" is in my mind? [closed]
closed as primarily opinion-based by FumbleFingers, Nicole, Edwin Ashworth, ScotM, Ellie Kesselman Apr 25 '15 at 3:30
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Bespoke is definitely a Briticism, though I wouldn't be surprised if it is popular in the South. I would think that Americans would sooner use tailor-made, however.
Bespoke is indeed a popular British term for anything custom made. The word is (IMHO) over-used by academics and consultants there to refer to anything from a piece of engineering to a business process. In translating documents to American, I typically replace Bespoke with Custom.

Federal Circuit
Federal Circuit violates Teva standard, SCOTUS chooses not to enforce it
This leaves an unclear picture for patent litigators navigating claim construction cases, as a whole category of information may or may not be subject to de novo review upon appeal.
The 'where' of the sale: Still an essential open question
After the Federal Circuit's decision in Carnegie Mellon Univ. v. Marvell Tech. Grp., Ltd., the question of where a sale occurred for purposes of patent damages is a complex question with an answer that could be worth millions.
Fee-shifting or fundamental fairness? You decide.
The appellate court's ruling in Shammas could lower the number of appeals of USPTO rulings being filed in district courts, because applicants will have to think twice about being stuck with the USPTO's fees.
Revisiting claim construction after the Supreme Court's decision in Teva v. Sandoz
Whether a litigant should seek to rely on extrinsic evidence may depend on that litigant's view of the strength of his or her claim construction case and whether he or she will want a district court decision that is more difficult to overturn on appeal.
Biosig wins victory from Federal Circuit over patent dispute
The case relates to terms used in patent cases, especially the concepts of "indefiniteness" and "reasonable certainty."
Federal Circuit affirms PTAB in Belden vs. Berk-Tek
"Because the Board [PTAB] did not err, we affirm," according to the opinion released last week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
A look at the USPTO's examples for patent eligibility
Many believed the Alice decision spelled the end of software patents. However, the examples provide several samples of how software-related patents may be patent-eligible.
Inter partes review gains in popularity
On March 12, the Federal Circuit upheld the results of four IPR challenges.
USPTO issues patent eligibility guidelines... so now what?
The USPTO issued the 2014 Interim Guidance on Patent Subject Matter Eligibility in an effort to help both patent applicants and examiners make sense of the recent changes to this area of patent law.
What to expect for post-grant proceedings in 2015
Just as practice before the PTAB was becoming more predictable, it appears that big changes are in store for 2015, both at the PTAB and at the appellate level.

You in the mood for some Thai? Well, then, Hustler Video's Girls of Thailand is likely to be right up your alley. And, true to form, this Thai shit is pretty hot.
Most notably, the scene involving Lek and Mint, and their two large-cocked companions really spices things up here. The two girls take their dicking poolside and look wonderful in the process, especially Mint, who looks good enough to eat.
Also worth noting is the scene involving Nan, a lovely thing with nice tits that looks to be enjoying the hell out of Ricardo Bell's big dick taking her from behind. She screams with pleasure, and you might, too, just watching her.
This is a very solid, above-average piece, and fans of Asian girls will really be steaming hot watching it.

Since then, he released his self-titled, debut album, picked up a handful of nominations from the Country Music Association and Country Music Television, and has been compared to the likes of many country music straits err. greats.
Corbin's success continued in 2010. His sophomore single "Roll With It" continued his chart success with a number one spot on the Billboard country charts and even landed Corbin on the overall Billboard Hot 100 chart.
While Corbin is no stranger to Chicago, as he was billed on the Brad Paisley H2O Tour last summer, it's his debut at Chicago's country bar, Joe's Bar. A venue that will serve him well.

We present a measurement of the top quark pair (t t¯) production cross section (σt t¯) in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using 230 pb−1 of data collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We select events with one charged lepton (electron ormuon),missing transverse energy, and jets in the final state.We employ lifetime-based b-jet identification techniques to further enhance the t ¯t purity of the selected sample. For a top quark mass of 175 GeV, we measure σt ¯t = 8.6+1.6 −1.5(stat. + syst.) ±0.6(lumi.) pb, in agreement with the standard model expectation.

College celebrates 40 years
Published: Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 10:44 p.m.
FLAT ROCK -- Fall's crisp temperatures mixed with an overcast and damp day of Saturday to try and dampen the spirits of the 40th anniversary ceremony for Blue Ridge Community College. While the Guinness World Record attempt of planting daffodil bulbs has been postponed for fair weather, a few hundred people came out to support the local institution.

"The attendance has been great," said Dr. Molly Parkhill, the college's current president.
An retiree breakfast in the morning brought back staff first hired by Dr. William Killian, the first president, when the college was still the Henderson County Technical Institute in 1969. Two past presidents spoke at the ceremony, Dr. Killian and Dr. David W. Sink Jr. Parkhill also took the stage as well as the current Student Government Assocation president, Tara Starnes.
"Aristotle tells us that we are the sum of our actions and motivation," said Starnes. "His words resonate with me personally. As a student, I appreciate the idea that an individual's actions can result in a fantastic end product."
Starnes, 31, knows quite a bit about how Blue Ridge can help. Her story started back in March 2005, when she was laid off again. Her husband suggested she go back to school, and she came to Blue Ridge. She first talked to counselor Gary Rivers.
"He gave me all the tools I needed. I walked out two hours later and registered for school. They continued to support me throughout school," Starnes said.
She graduated in 2007 with a degree in horticulture. She's graduating again in May, and then transferring to University of North Carolina at Asheville.
The 40th anniversary featured displays by several of the student clubs, an open car show which featured several cars from 1969, a barbecue lunch and an Iron Pour, hosted by Fine Art students. There were demonstrations for teachers for dance, a K-9 Demonstration by the Henderson County Sheriff's Office and a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at night. Alumni and staff came out to celebrate with the school.
"I'm honored to work for such a fine institution," said Dawn Bishop, class of 1983 and an employee in the business office since 1989. "I think because I did attend school here, Blue Ridge has always been dear to my heart."
"I think the 40th anniversary celebration, it's kind of marking for us how far the college has come," said Kirsten Bunch, alumni since 2000 and the college's registar.
Spring semester early registration for new curriculum students will begin Monday, Oct. 19. Prospective students can contact the student services department at 694-1800 to discuss how to prepare for early registration.
The bulb planting will be rescheduled at a time to be announced.

Good, but needs a few things..
This needs to allow running under lock on the PC. It also needs the other missing sounds I get on the phone version. I can't sleep without ambient noise and use the phone one, but the audio quality is not the same (due to the device, not the app). Otherwise, I do enjoy this app.More

I'm a huge fan of this app on iPhone. I sleep with it every night and really would say I'm addicted to it, but the functionality differences between this windows rt version and the iPhone version is so huge... you can't mix sounds or download new sounds, etc... I have this perfect mix of brown and pink noise with the tibetian singing bowls that I use and there is just no means to recreate this on this version. Please bring some parity between the versions! I literally will not come off my iPhone until I have an alternative and this just doesn't compare at the moment.More

This is a pretty good app for simple noises including Beach Waves, Thunder Storm, Extreme Rain Pouring, Crickets Chirping, Grandfather Clock, Chimes Chiming, Oscillating Fan, Airplane Travel, Train Ride and plain White Noise. I find most of these sounds pretty soothing, though the Beach Waves sounds a little "slurpy" to me. I think the water sounds are a bit "gurgly", but not too bad. Its hard to pick a favorite, but the Crickets Chirping and Chimes Chiming I enjoyed. I'd say get it if you're looking for something like this, I don't think that there is another free app like this one. This is a really good app and I might've rated 5 stars if it had something like a waterfall, wind, or a simple soft rain (the Thunder Storm has light rain, but it would've been nice to have light rain by itself).More

So the scoop here is that the mayor's office didn't want to send you a meeting agenda?
Maybe before he tries to take on a "leadership role in addressing global challenges" he should try fixing the goddamn potholes.
Then he could negotiate police and fire union contracts so they could actually get the staffing levels up to average.
But none of those things will actually put any money into the pockets of his developer buddies, so don't hold your breath.
Ummm...geez...the Mayor's Office can't actually pass legislation at the meeting....so...um...well...that's the whole point of the open meeting act....you know..a quorum and all. I don't believe they passed the law so you all can sit along the wall and wonder why no one loves you.
....(A hot tipper had already informed us that the mayor and 30 members of his staff were headed on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Suquamish Clearwater Resort and Casino on the Kitsap Peninsula for two days, but we wanted to confirm.)
WOW! the Suquamish Clearwater Resort and Casino? What a great tip. I can't believe their good fortune to be living so high on the hog for two days at the Suquamish Casino. If only I was a member of the Mayor's staff - I've been DYING to go to boring meetings in far flung boring places!!!!
pulleazzzzz. If you want to go....knock yourself out.

...without radical behavioral and organizational change that would threaten the foundations of our growth economy, greenhouse gas emissions along with other environmental impacts will not decline. Economic recession is the only proven mechanism for a rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and may now be the only real hope for maintaining the earth in a habitable state.
Taken together with the words of NASA climate scientist, Jim Hansen, who tells us that "the onset of severe impacts from climate change is now inevitable, even if there is a huge worldwide effort at mitigation", David Holmgren's words above cause me to pause and on some level stand in awe of the current global economic meltdown. I notice, first of all, that climate change now probably has a life of its own and has permanently escaped the influence of the human species. I also notice that economic collapse, while having unfolded rapidly within the past two years, has not done so in a falling-off-the-cliff scenario and may be slowing down the collapse of the ecosystem.
In Future Scenarios, (Chelsea Green, 2009) David Holmgren, the author of Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability offers four possible sketches of transition from industrial civilization to a post-petroleum world. The characteristics and likely outcomes of them compel us to view them more closely.
Physically, this paperback book is quite reader-friendly, embellished with colorful illustrations and beautiful photos and fits snugly into pocket or purse for effortless transport.
The first scenario Holmgren names the Brown Tech, Top-Down Construction in which energy descent is slow, and climate change is fast. Brown Tech is essentially the corporatist system that has dominated the United States for the past sixty years, reaching its zenith during the George W. Bush administration. It is "top-down" in the sense that "national power constricts consumption and focuses resources to maintain the nation-state in the face of deteriorating climate and reduced energy and food supply." (68) Brown Tech is characterized by centralized systems, high-density systems, national banks and currencies, a nationalist/fascist bias, male domination, and culturally speaking, a super-rationalist/fundamentalist dichotomy.
Conversely, the Green-Tech scenario is characterized by slow energy-decline rates and mild climate change symptoms. The sense of chaos and crisis "is more muted without major economic collapse or conflict." (68) This scenario is the one embraced by those well-meaning progressives who may believe that we have enough time for strategically transitioning to a post-petroleum, downscaled world. In Green Tech there is good conservation, a great deal of renewable energy use, compact towns and small cities, regional currencies, the gender status is balanced and blended, and the philosophical orientation is essentially humanist and eco-rationalist. What makes Green Tech unrealistic and somewhat utopian, in my opinion, is the speed with which climate change is actually occurring. For Green Tech to be fully implemented, climate change must be slow. "The relatively benign climate allows a resurgence of rural and regional economies on the back of sustained and growing prices for all natural commodities including feedstock for biofuels." (69)
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The third scenario, and the one which Holmgren clearly prefers, is the Earth-Steward: Bottom-Up Rebuild in which energy use declines rapidly, and climate change symptoms remain mild. Shocks to the world's financial system in this scenario result in severe depressions and intense resource wars. Electronic grids become nonfunctional, and mass mobility of people and goods is curtailed. Cities become hollowed out as larger businesses collapse, and large numbers of former city-dwellers form a new underclass and provide basic labor in exchange for food and living space.
The biggest difference, according to Holmgren, between the green-and brown-tech scenarios is that "the rebuilding and stabilization is no longer based on dreams of sustainability or restoring the old system. Instead, people accept that each generation will have to face the challenges of further ongoing simplification and localization of society as the fossil-resource base continues to decline. This simplification in the material domain is seen as the opportunity for growth in the spiritual domain. (81) In other words, "while the impacts on people and local environments...are severe, there is also a cultural and spiritual revolution as people are released from the rat race of addictive behaviors." In the Earth-Steward model, local currency and barter are the principal forms of exchange, gender-wise, females dominate, and earth spirituality prevails as the dominant cultural and spiritual force.
The last scenario is the Lifeboat Civilization Triage of rapid energy decline rates and severe climate change symptoms-in other words, a fast crash. Most forms of economic and social organization collapse, and local wars, including the use of nuclear weapons, exacerbate the collapse in some areas. Waves of famine and disease decimate social and economic capacity "on a scale larger than the Black Death in medieval Europe, leading to a halving of the global population in a few decades." (82)
In a Lifeboat Civilization, collapse has occurred so quickly that little planning can be done for a smoother transition, and the survivalist mentality generally prevails. Hence, one finds hamlets and gated communities and a quasi-feudal system which is predominantly patriarchal. The cultural and spiritual orientation is warrior-like in response to the trauma of a rapid collapse, thus the word "triage" to describe its fundamental modus operandi.
What Holmgren wants the reader to understand, however, is that the four scenarios are not linear; he imagines them as "one nested within the other." This suggests, he says, "that the four organizational levels represented by the scenarios from the household to the national level will all be transformed as global systems weaken and contract, but none will fail completely." (101) Not unlike the scenarios of collapse Dmitry Orlov relates regarding the former Soviet Union, Holmgren's four-nested schema suggests that in the Earth-Steward and Lifeboat scenarios, there could still be a government issuing edicts, but no one, outside that nation's capital, would take notice.
One unmistakable conclusion Future Scenarios draws is that the more slowly the decline unfolds, the more opportunity for planning and mobilizing for the demise; the more rapidly events occur, the more traumatic the unraveling will be because of the inability to put new systems in place which may allow it to be more navigable.
As noted above, economic collapse is impeding rampant growth and in that sense, despite the pain it is creating for millions of humans, may be allowing the earth community to breathe a bit easier for a bit longer. Or as Holmgren says, "The economic hard-liners could be right: There is no way to stop the train of global industrial capitalism (other than by crashing)."
Future Scenarios offers fascinating and fertile challenges for engaging Peak Oil and climate change and confronts us with the question that will not die: Will our journey to a post-petroleum world be a transition or a trauma? The longer we wait to make the profoundly radical choices necessary at this juncture of history, the greater the certainty that choices we would not prefer will be made for us.

I tried the following java packages:
- extra/jdk7-openjdk
- aur/jdk
In both cases, when using Netbeans, I cannot type text in several dialogs. If I want e.g. to create a new project I cannot specify name etc.
What´s the problem? How to use Netbeans correctly under Arch Linux?
Edit 1
- Also in the editor the cursor vanishes and typing is no more possible.
Edit 2
- I also tried out the suggestions of the Arch Linux Forum (e.g. changing to GTK via conf file) but then it looked even uglier than it did before and the problem was not solved.

You can sure say that again my fellow Professor! We see the trash of this board continue in their idiotic and obsessed faux intellectual pretense, yet their public posts show they have no comprehension, both of what they read and what little their actual lives amount to, nor even a child's grasp of the English language. If patting themselves on the back while spamming hate, as ebay stock crashes, were any an type of accomplishment these fools would be full tenured weasels by now. Sadly, no prizes awarded to trash. It simply gets taken out to a landfill, as proper and acceptable practice.

I think I've found most of the CSS for the plug-in in the front.css file.
--IGNORE START--The results of the default—on my installation at least—came out as Courier and just all over the place; it was nothing like the beautiful screen shots in the User Guide at all.
However, I'm having trouble finding the code for the search form. It has a 'pre' tag surrounding the whole code that doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm not sure if that's standard, but the search form comes out almost deformed looking rather than the nice, neat version shown in the user guide. I'd like to be able to find the CSS and code for this so that it can be style to look more like a library search page rather than a block of code on a page.
It doesn't matter which Theme I use either. The results are the same insofar as the style of the output is concerned. I am sure it's something I've done wrong or missed.--INGORE END--
In short, I'd like to better understand how the plug-in pages/shortcodes are styled so that this can be used for a high quality front end for a small library. Eventually, I'll be trying to figure out how to style a front end search page with results coming in on a different page. Following the user guide didn't seem to have the same results. But first, I'd like to get the CSS worked out so that the search form and the results can match the overall Theme of the site.
Thank you again for a great plug-in and the assistance you've provided.

Sisay Yohannes, the brother of Sara Minassie, cries with the rest of the people attending a memorial service Wednesday for Sara's husband Anteneh Minassie. The attendees were reacting to the reading of letters that Anteneh's children wrote to their father, saying how they would miss him and hope they can grow up to be as smart as he was.

Inside Dynasty Salon, an elegant chandelier slings glistening beams of light off large, rectangular mirrors, which start at the floor and stretch better than halfway toward the ceiling. Next to those mirrors, black-and-white portraits of starlets hang from cherry-red walls, and work stations sit packed with numerous beauty products and tools. This is where the Dynasty Salon team goes to work, rejuvenating the appearances of its clients with an arsenal of services that includes haircuts, colors, and eyebrow maintenance. They spruce up nails, too, with mani-pedis and shellac nail polishes.
