Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This particular light has a long stem so if you want to hide the stem install within tall shrubs, flower beds or bushes. Shorter stem lights would work better to illuminate walkways.
I am using the 2 sets in the backyard and side patio area.
This purchase was easy to install and looks great.
I would use this product along walkways

SAT Changes Coming in 2016
Coming spring of 2016, the SAT will change (almost) entirely. The College Board has been working hard to create an exam that dispels all of the criticism they have received about the SAT being a "test-taking skill" exam rather than a college entrance exam. The new SAT will be more focused on things that matter […]no comments
How to Get Rewarded for Your Scores
The PSAT is not required for all students, but it should be considering the opportunities it offers.

5 Mistakes to Avoid in Your College Essays
Your application has made it past the initial round and is waiting on a table with a hundred other applications to be scrutinized by yet another admissions officer. The difference this time, is that your application is just another 2100 in the pool of over-achieving applications. Your high scores and GPA won't be enough alone […]no comments
Where Should You Go?
You look forward to the day you get your decisions, thinking that it will all be over then: things will be decided and you can forget about college applications forever.

The ACT vs. the SAT
Sometimes the stain of being runner-up can stick for longer than warranted.

ACT vs. SAT: Which One Should You Take?
As junior year approaches, the dreadful college entrance exam becomes an over-bearing concern.

They both seem pretty equal […]no comments
When is the Best Time to Take the MCAT?
Ninety percent of medical school admission officers consider GPA and MCAT to be the two most important factors in admission in the early stages. Although officers look for high grades from medical school applicants, an outstanding MCAT score can abate a not-as-good GPA. This is a great (yet challenging) opportunity to take advantage of, considering […]no comments

Nell Dunn
|This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (April 2014)
|Nell Dunn
9 June 1936
London, England
|Playwright, novelist, screenwriter
|United Kingdom
|Jeremy Sandford (1957–1979)
|Notable work(s)
Up the Junction (1963)Steaming (1981)
Nell Mary Dunn (born 9 June 1936) is an English playwright, screenwriter, and author.
Early years[edit]
The daughter of Sir Philip Dunn, she was born in London and educated at a convent, which she left at the age of fourteen. Although she came from an upper-class background, in 1959 she moved to Battersea and made friends in the neighbourhood and worked for a time in a sweets factory. This world inspired much of what Dunn would later write. Dunn was married to writer Jeremy Sandford from 1957 to 1979; the couple had three sons.
Dunn came to notice with the publication of Up the Junction (1963), a series of short stories set in South London, some of which had already appeared in the New Statesman. The book, awarded the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, was a controversial success at the time because of its vibrant, realistic and nonjudgmental portrait of the working class protagonists. It was adapted for television by Dunn (and Ken Loach) for The Wednesday Play series which was directed by Ken Loach and broadcast in November 1965. A cinema film version was released in 1968.
A collection of interviews, Talking to Women (1965), preceded the publication of her first novel Poor Cow in 1967. This was a bestseller and also achieved a succès de scandale. Poor Cow was made into a film starring Carol White and Terence Stamp, under Loach's direction.
Her later adult books are Grandmothers (1991) and My Silver Shoes (1996). Dunn's play Steaming was produced in 1981 and a television film Every Breath You Take, was transmitted in 1987. She has also written Sisters, a film script commissioned by the BBC.
She won the 1982 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
Personal life[edit]
Dunn became a Patron of Dignity in Dying after her partner, Dan Oestreicher, died of lung cancer.

My favorite blush! Goes great against my very fair but neutral skin tone. Not too peach and not too pink with just a hint of golden glow.

I randomly swatched this in store and loved it. The colour in the pan looks quite intense, but swatched on the skin it's simply stunning. So happy with my purchase!

This is a blush that I have bought off and on over the years. Some of MAC's blush formulations I've been less than thrilled with. This one in particular, is a lovely peachy pink shade with a bit of metallic gold to it that creates a pretty sheen, rather than obvious glitter-bomb. Staying power is so/so and I think that's why I keep bouncing it in and out of my permanent makeup roster. It has been favorably compared as a NARS Orgasm dupe, so if you're on the hunt for such a thing but are off-put by both the price tag and the glitter factor, you may find Peachykeen to be a bit less pricey and sparkly.

My go-to everyday blush. If you like NARS Orgasm, I think you're going to like Peachykeen even more. It gives my olive tone (I'm a MAC NC40) the perfect flush without looking fake. I pair it with Kevyn Aucoin's highlighter in Candlight on my upper cheek bones and it is perfection.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure

LOVE this blusher no other shade looks as good as this on my skin. It's a pinky/peach colour with a slight sheen to it that makes my cheek bones look healthy and glowing. Quite a few girls have said "I like your blusher" or "what blusher are you wearing" so it must look good :-)
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Neutral

This is a fantastic blush, I really like it, it's not opaque so you won't look like a clown, it has just the right amount of shimmer to give u a glow without you looking like you just had a glitter fight with your baby brother. The only reason I won't be purchasing this again is because I wanna experiment with other colors. still great though, I might come back to it later :)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Neutral

After buying Mac's Peaches, which made me look dirty, & Pinch o'Peach, which just didn't pack enough punch, I think I've finally found my glowy from within match in Peachykeen.

Peachykeen is my top favorite MAC blush, 3 times re-purchase.
I really love this blush, cannot find other shades alike this one. I think it suits for every skin tone, no matter you're white skin, yellow tan or whatever.
highly recommended for all women!!!
You must try this one.

I recently came back from a beach vacation and got a little tan. My usual collection of blushes were looking muddy on me because of my tan and stopped by Mac to get a color that would make my cheeks pop. I asked for something in the pink range and he picked this one out for me. It was exactly what I was looking for. He said it is pink but with a very slight hint of peach. Because of the shimmer I prefer to apply this with my RT stipple brush. It gives the perfect natural flush.

There's small and then there are the satellite speakers from Sony's latest DAV-IS10 home cinema system. Each of the five speakers is only the size of a tennis ball, which guarantees that this £500 system remains heard but not necessarily seen.
The system also features an equally compact upscaling DVD player plus an integrated digital amplifier hidden in the subwoofer. It's sure to please anxious partners upset about having their living rooms taken over by oversized boxes. Surely something this small can't sound good, can it?
It's impossible not to be overwhelmed by the forceful sound quality from these ridiculously small speakers. Despite their size, they deliver a surprisingly powerful performance with superb dynamics and tightly controlled low frequencies that almost seem to defy science.
It's all made possible by the comparably large powered subwoofer, which features dual drivers to take care of the midrange frequencies that the satellites can't manage. You do have to place the sub fairly close to the front speakers and leave the volume right up, but excellent integration and precise steering of ambient effects create an immersive sound stage that's undeniably impressive. The system had no problem unearthing the subtleties of the after-life sequence in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean before exploding into life like the cannons in the following sea battle.
Elsewhere, image quality is excellent with distinctive black levels encouraging depth-defining contrast without losing detail, as seen in the dark cave scenes from Beowulf. Colours are rich and vibrant without overwhelming natural tones and there is very little noise, especially with upscaled images.
Equally impressive is the stylish design, although we've come to expect that from Sony. The compact main unit measures only 210mm wide and features touch-sensitive controls and a front-loading disc slot. These are all homogenously finished in a distinctive lacquered black.
Installing the system couldn't be easier with all speakers wired to the sub using colour-coded terminals. Only a single cable is required between the sub and the main unit. There's also an extremely accurate automatic calibration system that will correctly adjust your levels within a minute.

In the accepted best response to this question, there is a clear explanation why boxing happens.
However, if I decompile the code (using java decompiler) I cannot see use of scala.runtime.BoxesRunTime. Furthermore, if I profile the code (using JProfiler) I cannot see any instances of BoxesRunTime.
So, how do I really see a proof of boxing/unboxing taking place?

Hi Gang -
So I basically would like to have a secure page with download links on it, but I need the user to go through a custom built form to be able to access that.
I'm thinking this should be separate from their WordPress user login.
I am reading that the form can redirect to a page.
Please let me know if Visual Form Builder can do this.
Much appreciated,


text: TearLab One more under-$10 stock that's trading within range of a near-term breakout trade is TearLab ( TEAR), an in-vitro diagnostic company engaged in commercializing a proprietary tear testing platform that enables eye care practitioners to test for highly sensitive and specific biomarkers using nanoliters of tear film. This stock has been skyrocketing so far in 2012, with shares up over 210%. On Wednesday, Canaccord Genuity imitated coverage on this stock with a buy rating and a price target of $6 per share. That upgrade spark a solid rally for TearLab after the stock closed up 8.6% on heavy volume. If you take a look at the chart for TearLab, you'll notice that this stock is trending within a range for the past two months, with shares moving between $3.00 on the downside and $3.80 on the upside. Shares of TEAR have just started to recapture its 50-day moving average of $3.35 a share with heavy upside volume, and its quickly moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TEAR once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.66 to 3.80 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 91,080 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then TEAR will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $4.35 to $4.88 a share. Traders can look to buy TEAR off weakness and simply anticipate that breakout, with a stop below its 50-day at $3.35 or down near $3 a share. One could also get long off strength TEAR clears $3.66 to $3.80 with high volume, and then simply use a stock near its 50-day at $3.35 a share. Keep in mind that TEAR is a favorite target of the shorts, since its current short interest as a percentage of its float is 7.5%. Any breakout over $3.66 to $3.80 should spark a solid short-covering rally that moves TEAR within range of its 52-week at $4.88 a share.

I bought a second monitor and needed a card that supports dual output. I bought an ATI Radeon x300 128mb on ebay for cheap. It works, but my system freezes A LOT. I know it's the card because when I take it out everything is fine.
I have a Dell Dimension E520 with the RAM upgraded to the max 4gb.
Any idea why my computer doesn't like my card so I can pick a more suitable second one? I don't care about crazy graphics capability, I just want a cheap way to run both monitors.
Thanks, homies.

Ease of Use
I started taking red yeast rice caps six weeks ago at 2 x 600mg a day but got bad pains in legs and wrist just like statins, I manage to take 600mg every other day with coQ10 which helps the pains a bit & helps lower my blood pressure. My doc did cholestrol blood test and said it had returned to normal 3.8. RYR seems to work although it cost a fair amount money.

It was obvious it was from them and I didn't even know pains could happen from it or statins. (This was quite a long time ago). It took a week and it left and no I wont take that crap.

The capabilities demonstrated and explored in Phase I will be developed and integrated in Phase II as components of a new Seasonal Information and Decision Support System (SIDSS) for our World Climate Service customers. The Phase I tasks are: • Improve season forecast calibration with a new climate-conserving calibration algorithm that produces relatively flat rank probability diagrams; • Convert calibrated forecasts of meteorological variables into forecasts of impact and decision variables such as degree days or wind power availability' • Explore calibration of two-to-four week forecasts with conditioning on expected flow patterns; • Explore the potential of model output statistics (MOS) to calibrate and improve weekly and monthly forecasts of seasonal variability. Several of the tasks will explore the use of principal component methods to project forecasts on the historical verification data and to define flow regimes for conditional calibration. The SIDSS development in Phase II will focus on the client decision context, present historical and predicted information including numerical and analog forecast, and facilitate client development of individualized forecasts. It is a key part of our commercialization strategy.

Hong Kong Stocks Decline as Central Banks Fail to Act
Hong Kong stocks fell a second day, paring this week's gain on the city's benchmark index, after central banks in China, Europe and the U.S. failed to deliver new stimulus to bolster growth.
Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., an operator of ports that gets 55 percent of revenue from Europe, fell 0.4 percent after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi failed to announce immediate action to stem the region's debt crisis. Li & Fung Ltd., a supplier to Wal-Mart Stores Inc., slid 2.3 percent ahead of a U.S. employment report today. China Yurun Food Group Ltd. gained 11 percent, extending yesterday's gains, the steepest since the company's 2005 listing.
The Hang Seng Index fell 0.1 percent to 19,666.18 at the close of trading in Hong Kong, rising 2 percent on the week. The gauge pared losses through the last hour as HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's No. 1 bank by value, recovered from a drop of as much as 1.5 percent to close little changed at HK$65.60. Three shares fell for every two that gained today on the 49-member gauge, with trading volume about 18 percent below the 30-day average. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies dropped 0.1 percent to 9,660.99.
"No monetary easing is not what the market wants to hear," said Francis Lun, managing director at Lyncean Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based brokerage. "The market had shot up in the last few days in anticipation of easing of monetary policy. Investors just got ahead of themselves."
The benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 9.3 percent from this year's high in February on signs Europe's debt crisis is worsening while economic growth slows in China and the U.S. The drop reduced the value of shares on the gauge to 10.4 times estimated earnings on average, compared with 13.3 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 11.1 for Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
Central Banks
The ECB kept its benchmark interest rate on hold yesterday and the People's Bank of China said it will keep pursuing "prudent" monetary policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve also refrained from adding stimulus this week.
"There is no real action to support the economy," said Lewis Wan, Hong Kong-based chief investment officer at Pride Investments Group Ltd., which manages $300 million of assets. "The news did not meet the market's expectations."
Hutchison Whampoa, controlled by Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, slid 0.4 percent to HK$68.35 even after its net income of HK$10.2 billion ($1.3 billion) beat a HK$9.55 billion median estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Cosco Pacific Ltd., which operates a port in Greece, fell 2.8 percent to HK$10.52. China Cosco Holdings Co., the nation's biggest listed shipping company, fell 0.9 percent to HK$3.20.
U.S. Jobs
Li & Fung dropped 2.3 percent to HK$14.72 ahead of the release of a U.S. report expected to show the jobless rate remained at 8.2 percent, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists. Unemployment has been above 8 percent since February 2009.
Techtronic Industries Co., a maker of power tools that relies on North America for 72 percent of its sales, lost 1.9 percent to HK$10.14.
China Yurun gained 11 percent to HK$6.14, extending yesterday's gains after billionaire Robert Kuok's Kerry Group Ltd. disclosed it owns a stake in the nation's second-largest meat supplier.
Futures on the Hang Seng Index gained 0.1 percent to 19,655. The HSI Volatility Index slid 8.1 percent to 19.47, indicating traders expect a swing of about 5.6 percent in the benchmark index during the next 30 days.

Historical Traveler Reviews John Muir Lodge Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
A different view of the John Muir Lodge
Although I believe that the negative experience of the above report actually occurred, I feel that if anyone is planning on staying here, they should know what to ask for in a room. We stayed there for 2 nights in May, our room had 2 double (or queen beds--I can't remember which). It was large enough, clean and functionable for us as far as size, etc. It didn't have the amenities we've become used to such as tv, refrigerator, etc., but I haven't stayed in a National Park hotel that did (admittedly haven't been in all of them). It doesn't have the ambiance or history of an El Tovar, but the room and bathroom was actually larger than the one we stayed in at El Tovar--and much less expensive. We did have a telephone and radio in our room, as well as windows that opened (that would have driven me crazy). The restaurant was decent, but you are very limited to places to eat in these parks (you had to have reservations to eat at the Wuksachi when we were there). The thing we liked best about it was the location--halfway between Kings Canyon and Sequoia since we were going to both parks. We were there at the beginning of the season and the lodge wasn't full, so we didn't have a problem with ice, etc. We basically just ate and slept there since we spent the days in the parks. It isn't a resort type place. I did miss having a tv, but at the time we went there was only one place in the parks that did. We would stay there again--but would make sure we were getting a room with windows that open.
A disapointment to say the least.
I spent a what seemed like a week here one night.
The lodge is a building. In it are rooms of slightly less than motel 6 furnishings. The lobby is a room with a sofa and empty ice, drink and vending machines.
But wait....it gets worse. The rooms are unventilated with no way to open windows and the bath rooms are tiny and in no way easy to use.
All are tiny, cramped and without radio or TV or phone..... You do get a bed, however.
Service for problems is non-existant and the overall ambiance is of a military post. John Muir would not have stayed here... opting for outside
It keeps the rain off you and that is about it.
I would drive to wuksachi and pay 10% more or drive to Fresno some 68 miles distant rather than under the " lodge ordeal" Then there is the food... or lack of it....... Bring a MRE and you will dine better.
Nice clean place to stay
My husband and I stayed one night at the John Muir Lodge (April 20th). We reserved a room for the night in the afternoon. You have to check in for the lodge in Grants Grove across from the Visitors Center; the lodge is just a short distance from there. Karin checked us in and was very friendly and helpful. She tried to give us the best room possible. We stayed in room# 212, upstairs in the middle of the lodge. She purposely placed us away from the stairs and the ice machine and gave us a room with a view of the woods instead of the parking lot. The lodge was not full.
We had 2 queen beds that we very comfortable. Don't expect any amenities... no TV, no refrigerator, no hair dryer,no ironing board. Just a very clean and comfortable room. I have to agree with another person that commented about poor ventilation. Only a window for a breeze. Fortunatley it was not a real warm day, but the room stayed warm at night so we required no heat.
Shampoo, bath soap and moisture lotion was provided and the largest wash cloths I've ever seen (thought they were small hand towels).
We had dinner and breakfast in the dining room at Grants Grove. I didn't feel the meal was overpriced as someone else suggested. We had a fried chcicken dinner ($13.95), with choice of potatoes (we chose mashed which had a chicken gravy), vegetable was fresh green beans (delicious). Also included was soup or salad with the meal. I had a salad and my husband had the tomato soup which he enjoyed.
The waitress was overworked (as 2 people called in sick and she had been there all day by herself) but she was pleasant. Karin from the front desk(which is closeby) even came in to help seat customers to help out the waitress.
Breakfast the next morning was the usual fare. We both had 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of English muffin, toast or biscut. I think the price was $5.95, reasonable.
Karin spotted us in the restaurant in the morning and came over to our table to see how we liked our room. When I told here we were quite satisfied she said "that's what we like to hear".
In the lodge there are "Quiet Hours" posted from 9 pm- 8 am. They also ask that you do not use the ice machine after 10 pm as not to disturb other guests.
The great room has a fireplace but was filled with a family with small children who were quit noisy. We opted to go to our room. There are paperback books and magazines left there by others for you to borrow and return before you leave. Also there were books for children. Bring your own reading material or a deck of cards just in case there is nothing you want to read. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Several locals in the park were still closed and were to open at the end of the week. Crystal Cavern is closed until June. I would advise checking the Kings Canyon/ Sequoia National Park website for info. NO GAS sold in the park so tank up ahead of time!
Clean, comfortable, affordable
I am often surprised by the comments in these reviews. John Muir Lodge, by normal standards, is a clean, well kept, attractive, friendly place in the midst of incredible scenery. By traditional "national park" accomodation standards, it is superior. My surprise at the comments regarding this property is this- it's a national park property. They do not claim to generate the diversions of cable TV, pay per view movies, or hot tubs; just immaculately clean rooms, large bath tubs, hot water, and mother nature right outside your window. Try a deck of cards, a bottle of wine, and just go old fashioned conversation as your entertainment. If you need move interaction- there is a beautiful great room complete with a roaring fire and lots of good people to talk to.
The only caution I would give is to stay away from the end rooms (near the stairs) if you are a light sleeper. You will hear footsteps till late in the evening.
I agree, basic
The rooms are basic. There is little or no ventilation in the rooms. My kids and I stayed Easter weekend 2004. Even with the window open all day and night, the room felt stuffy. The Lodge Room was neat. There is a large fireplace and great places to sit and socialize. The restaurant at Grants Grove is over priced. Service is hit and miss. I guess some employees weren't happy working on Easter weekend. Be careful, all restaurants in the park close early (7PM). The first night, we had to drive 45 minutes out of the park to eat.
Loved John Muir Lodge and the Park
Our friends and my husband and I visited the parks and stayed at John Muir lodge on Feb. 19 2004. We were not sure we would get into the park as we met people near the rangers station and they informed us they had to go back and get chains and then they made it so far up the mountain and then had to turn around as there was such thick fog they could not see and it was too dangerous...so they turned around and went home. We went and asked at the rangers station and he said the fog had lifted and no chains were required as long as we had snow tires. So we went ahead and started up the road. It was so beautiful with the clouds hanging low and then seeing clearings. I can not describe the sight in words. We made it to the lodge and it was great. We checked in and got a nice big clean room....We had stopped and bought some snacks and some refreshments for our stay and went to the "great room" and had a table to play cards on and sat in front of the fire...It was a bit cool as the wood to put in the fire was green but it was alright....there were other people sitting around reading and playing cards also......just a nice relaxing evening. After my friend and I went to bed our husbands stayed and visited with other guest and had a good time. It was just so nice and easy going and the people were very friendly...I would recommend it to everyone and the sights were great with the snow gently falling around the big trees and there was not a crowd of people to contend with...We will go back again and again and hope to stay in the same place.....only bad thing is not being able to access some of the places because the roads were closed due to snow......but that gives us an excuse to go back again..........go and enjoy nature and an easier pace of life.......
Basic but nice
We loved the scenery, but did expect a bit more for the money. We unfortunately came somewhat unprepared, and you couldn't even purchase a magazine or paperback book. Next time I will read the reviews before we book a room. We also had very loud neighbors. But if you are coming for the beauty of the place and don't want to camp out, it is a pleasant place to stay.
Winter Paradise!
Discovering the John Muir Lodge in Kings Canyon last winter was like finding a swimming pool on the hottest day of the year. A perfect paradise for writing a novel or reading a great book, stepping away from the busy daily grind, and just a great place for perfect relaxation. The accommodations were fantastic, and I found the restaurant to have delicious food with great service. This is, by far now, my favorite get-away!
General disappointment
I stayed at the John Muir Lodge for 4 nights with a friend. We had anticipated that the lodge would be a comfortable and reasonably well appointed alternative to the cabins in the area.
Since we had paid in advance, it was difficult for us to just bail, once we discovered that the room was dark, stuffy and didn't even have a small refrigerator (isn't that standard these days?). The walls were thin and the place was generally noisy. The maintenance staff was constantly making noise throughout the day.
The only restaurant in Grant Grove was a major disaster...service dismal, menu offering boring and prices too high.
Oh well, win some, lose some. The sequoias were still a fantastic sight and we made the most of our stay.
Peaceful but Great for Kids
Our family's visited Kings Canyon both in winter and late summer. John Muir Lodge is cozy in the winter, with an inviting living room full of puzzles and games and books. After snow play we spent hours playing by the fireplace with it's huge beautiful portrait of John Muir looking over us. The summer visit, we spent most of our time outdoors but we loved coming back to the comfort of the Lodge.

National Park Radio's straightforward rural folk and bluegrass is a pleasantly rustic sound, the audio equivalent of gigantic cedars and down-home cookouts. The Great Divide is comfortable, upbeat acoustic guitar strumming along to foot stomps and mandolin. It's dance music in its most traditionally American sense: this is the stuff you waltz to around a campfire with your sweetheart. It's joy filtered through the lens of Americana, and that simplicity in approach should be celebrated.
Latest Blog Posts
According to the singer herself, Kendra Erika updates the Bond-girl framework to 21st century terms, an embrace of glamour and sexuality as an empowering tool. The video to "The Truth Never Lies" does just this, Erika flirting with the camera in a half-dozen different outfits as an anonymously-driven car makes its way through a glitzy downtown. Musically, the piece is similar: noir Eurotrance pumps through Erika's breathy vocals, a track headed straight for the clubs. Whether Erika can fully carry her vision of the ideal modern Bond girl has yet to be seen, as her career is as yet still nascent; that said, "The Truth Never Lies" is certainly a good start.
Alan Abrahams' take on his own "Say It's Going to Change" as Bodycode opens innocently enough, pleasantly eerie synths right out of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 backing a metallic, robotic house beat. Halfway through, though, everything changes: after a quick flare of upper-register whirrs, a twisty bassline thuds in, sending the track into more traditional !K7 territory. The remix masterfully pulls elements in and out of our reach, warm synths eventually dropping out in favor of an all-out bassline assault. Its slow transition from unfocused synth jam to functional dancefloor killer is yet another example of the absolute madness Abrahams can wreak on an unsuspecting mass of bodies crowded around his turntable.
Atoms and Void's "This Departing Landscape" is, appropriately enough, atmospheric. This is in the sense of the video, a haphazard, awkwardly beautiful collection of found footage from years of touring and recording, but it's also in the sense of the way the song plays out. Quiet vocals drop out only a minute through, paving the way for careful electric guitar to call out into the void. The guitar keeps calling and calling and calling and the piano and the drums and the bass keep growing and growing and growing until the piece burns out and fades away. It's the audio representation of the maxim "life is about the journey, not the conclusion", which makes for a wonderful ride.
Savoir Adore makes glitzy, glittery electropop, and "Paradise Gold" is a good example of why that neon-soaked sound continues to work. A shuffling intro gives way to a disco-lite verse, bass snarls and quick darts of guitar interplaying until the chorus takes hold in a puff of cotton candy. It's equally Madeon and Breathe Carolina, scene elements interplaying with funky electro house. It's a sound that certainly doesn't have universal appeal — it has too much fun for that — but I'm glad this kind of music still lights up my parties.

"Vińa del Mar" Top 5 Page for this destination Vińa del Mar by kiwigal_1
Vińa del Mar Travel Guide: 106 reviews and 221 photos
Vińa is a city in the Vth Region of Chile located on the seaside just north of Valparaiso. Vińa is a summer hangout for Santiaguinos but also has a large population of residents all year round. Although it is located next to the beach it is more city-like than beach-resort like. The beaches alongside Vińa del Mar are not actually safe for swimming although in the heat of summer of course people go into the water.
Vińa has a very active nightlife with pubs, restaurants and places to dance. The waterfront area is also developed in an attractive way making it a pleasant place to walk around.
If you are going to visit Vińa del Mar then you should definitely take in some of the other coastal towns nearby such as:
Valparaiso - Historical port city with UNESCO world heritage status;
ConCon - Excellent seafood restaurants in the centre of ConCon and in Higuerillas;
Reńaca - Beautiful beach with beautiful people and hip nightlife.
- Pros:The white sand beaches are pretty to look at
- Cons:...but not suitable for swimming

I was unable to find anything for SDL, Lion and Xcode, although I was trying to find one for Xcode 4.3. I ended up using bootcamp and visual studio for a couple of small sdl projects I was doing, then I found SFML online and it had directions for Xcode installation and supported the sprite rotation that I was using so I just switched to using SFML instead because I barely knew SDL and it didn't matter to me what I used.
I did just find this on Google for setting up SDL in Xcode. http://www.gamedev.net/topic/619400-xcode-4-on-lion-and-sdl-1215/

Campaign Finance Ruling Could Boost Gingrich White House Run In 2012
He's doing it again.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is hinting once more that he just maybe, just might run for the White House in 2012.
The last time we noted the Georgia Republican's flirtation with a presidential bid was back in October, when he told C-SPAN that he and his wife Calista would think about it in 2011 and that "if there's a requirement as citizens that we run, I suspect we probably will."
Today, All Things Considered co-host Melissa Block asked Gingrich if the Supreme Court's ruling that has ripped apart key campaign finance restrictions might make it more likely that he will mount a presidential campaign in 2012.
Said Gingrich:
"It might. We'll have to wait and see. If there's a movement for real change, and if there's a real sense that we can recruit candidates at every level to change things, then Calista and I would certainly have to look at it very seriously."
Here's part of their conversation:

I've been closing questions tagged excel-formula that seem like "how do I do this in Excel?".
Is that appropriate?
Edit Here is a short list recent of ones that I feel are off-topic.
I've been closing questions tagged excel-formula that seem like "how do I do this in Excel?".
Is that appropriate?
Edit Here is a short list recent of ones that I feel are off-topic.
I don't think we should close these. Especially if they're specifically about writing excel formulas.
What programming is is very hard to define. Even if we attempt to - a lot of people consider HTML programming and a lot don't, same for CSS and so on yet those are clearly on topic here.
For example - here is a classic problem, Euclid's algorithm coded in Excel.
These questions are after all about composing commands on top of each other to take the given input and transform it to an output. Even if it wasn't turing complete like Yogu said - I think we should allow them.
To make this perfectly clear - questions about how to use the excel program itself like "How do I open a file" do not fall under this category.
Excel formulas (like scripting questions) inhabit the grey, fuzzy area between Stack Overflow and Super User. Question on these can be asked on either site and should not be migrated unless at the express wish of the OP.
As there is overlap between Stack Exchange sites this means that just because a question is on topic on site B doesn't necessarily make it off topic on site A.
Obviously this overlap is limited so you should double check when you encounter a question about Excel to make sure that it's about what you think it's about.
If they have a formula that doesn't quite work the way they want it to, and they're looking for help on how to modify/fix it, then that's probably on-topic.
If they have a requirement and they want you to write a formula for them (or have logic in some other language that needs a transcode), that's the same as any other programming question where they haven't put in any effort.
Using that criteria, I would close the 1st and 4th question on your list, the 3rd looks fine to me, and the 2nd looks salvageable, but he has to show his work first.
I'd like to mention Wikipedia's definition of a programming language:
This is more or less what we're taught in computer science.
That being said, if you can achieve these communications in one way or another, using a programming-language, then you're programming.
You can program in Excel. If the questions are about the Excel formulas, then they should stay. If the questions are about achieving some functionality provided by the user-interface then it should, in most cases, be removed.
While the programming definition may be grey as to whether Excel formula are programming, stepping outside of SO:
While I normally vote to close vanilla Excel formula questions on SO, I accept there are different views on this, and it is a matter of preference.
The bigger issue is raised by pnuts in a comment above - why are there
Interestingly while SO Excel formula question often get migrated to SU, the SU moderators don't accept suggestions that clear cut programming questions should be migrated to SO - which is a net loss for the askers as regardless of discussion semantics as to what constitutes programming, SO is actually where the heavy hitting Excel expertise is.
Having just had one of my questions on Excel apparently deleted, I don't agree at all. Excel formulae are a form of programming, which not all people with technical skills will be familiar with. I'm a web developer, with only moderate Excel skills.
One of the fastest ways for people like myself to learn is to view other examples, so even questions like mine (which may appear basic and simple to those with the knowledge), are valid ones and helpful to the section of the community I come under.
If you don't like a question, move on. That's my thought on the subject.
Something an average user of Excel should know should not be on topic here, which includes formulas. This is a site for professional developers to help each other, not support for end users. This kind of question lowers the value of SO and should be moved to SU. List weekday dates with certain dates excluded in Google Docs Sheets
Questions about Excel formulae are on topic at SuperUser.Com. They should be migrated there.
This is a long-standing practice. One of my first SO questions was about an issue I encountered with Excel.

Not much because they choose old pokemon on many factors, and what past generation they are from is probably the last thing they consider if they even do it.
I mean, for example they would put a Wingull in a game because there is locations where wild Wingulls just make sense, not because they want more gen 3 pokemon.
Besides, each generation has a different approach and might deal differently with the inclusion of old pokes.
-So Johto for example was basically a second Kanto (regarding what common pokemon are in it), with some new hidden and rare pokemon you have to use new methods to find.
-Hoenn wanted to be a fresh start, but didn't dare to alienate the fans by not including iconic classics... and a specific example is that it had three of the trade evolving ones, since they didn't introduce more than one new. Of course they would use more gen 1 than gen 2 here, because gen 2 was extra pokemon, but they needed casual average pokemon like Magikarp, Zubat and Oddish. ...And then a Slugma because they actually had a fitting location for it this time. There is tons of reasons for certain pokemon to appear, and its not about gens.
-Sinnoh was very much like Johto, as in that it had only a handful of casual pokemon, so it resorted on the use of anything fitting from the past again to fill the gaps for most areaa in the game.
You say there is 34... but I count like less than 20, so I assume you were looking at Platinums upgraded version though. Of course they had to put in everything they evolved for that, which is the case for the initial DP dex too btw, with most of the new stages being for Johto-mons. So you could say it had a noteworthy amount of those because it had evolutions/babies of them.
Also, the percentage barely takes the lead of gen 1 with ~30%, of which there are more casual ones in.
-BW depends on whether you mean the enw Unovadex for BW2 or postgame stuff in BW, which was full of random and just filled with everything they could add in kind of thing.
And again, gen V is done. There is no way on earth going to be more DS games. Starting new graphics with something new is quite safe to assume.

Treasuries Snap Rally Before TIPS Auction, New Home Sales
Treasury 10-year yields dropped to the lowest level in a week after an industry report showed China's manufacturing may shrink at a faster pace this month, adding to signs global growth is slowing.
U.S. government securities were also supported after an index of services and manufacturing in the euro-area contracted for a seventh month, underpinning demand for the safest assets. Federal Reserve policy makers signaled their readiness to boost record stimulus unless they are convinced the economy is poised to rebound, according to minutes of their most recent meeting released yesterday.
"There seem to be increased signs of a slowdown, particularly in China and Europe, while the U.S. economy is facing fiscal challenges in the next few months," said Nick Stamenkovic, a fixed-income strategist at RIA Capital Markets Ltd. in Edinburgh. "This kind of economic backdrop will continue to support demand for government bonds."
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was little changed at 1.70 percent at 7:09 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. It earlier declined to 1.67 percent, the lowest level since Aug. 14. The 1.625 percent note maturing in August 2022 traded at 99 11/32.
China's purchasing managers' index fell to 47.8 in August from a final reading of 49.3 for July, HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics said today. A euro-area composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers in services and manufacturing was little changed at 46.6 this month from 46.5 in July, Markit Economics said in London. Figures below 50 show contraction.
Additional Stimulus
Fed policy makers said further stimulus will probably be needed unless the economy shows signs of a durable pickup, according to the minutes of their July 31-Aug. 1 gathering.
"Many members judged that additional monetary accommodation would likely be warranted fairly soon unless incoming information pointed to a substantial and sustainable strengthening in the pace of the economic recovery," the minutes showed.
The U.S. central bank is scheduled to buy as much as $2 billion of Treasuries maturing from November 2022 to February 2031 today, according to the website of its New York branch. The purchases are part of the Fed's efforts to exchange shorter-term Treasuries in its holdings for those due in six to 30 years to support the economy by putting downward pressure on long-term borrowing costs.
TIPS Auction
The U.S. government will sell $14 billion of inflation-protected securities today. Five-year TIPS yielded negative 1.23 percent, compared with minus 1.08 percent at the previous auction on April 19, which was an all-time low.
Investors bid for 2.58 times the amount of debt offered in April, versus 3 times in December. Indirect bidders, the investor class that includes foreign central banks, bought 36 percent, the least in two years.
The U.S. will sell $35 billion of two-year debt on Aug. 28, the same amount of five-year notes the following day and $29 billion of seven-year securities on Aug. 30, according to Wrightson ICAP LLC, an economic advisory company based in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The government issues a combination of two-, five- and seven-year notes every month.
TIPS handed investors a 4.7 percent gain this year compared with a 3.5 percent return from German index-linked bonds and a loss of 2.3 percent from U.K. inflation-protected gilts, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.

Tee Time: Conquering the mental game

We've been really blessed to have a number of well-known guests in the golf industry on our show, Speaking of Golf in the past six-plus years.
One of those guests has been a regular contributor to the show and is in a profession that many golfers today may shy away from. You can change your clubs, you can get new shoes, even some lessons with your local golf professional, but one thing you may neglect is sometimes the most important part of golf: the mental game of golf.
That's where Golf Psychologist Dr. Gio Valiante comes in.
Great golf requires a golfer be able to make fearless swings at precise targets. To do so, a golfer has to be unencumbered by subversive thoughts, distractions and fears. A key component for playing fearless golf is that Dr. Valiante does not give his golfers "more" ideas and things to think about. Rather, he teaches golfers to get rid of the extra baggage that clutters their minds, which allows them to remain clear and focused on their way to playing fearless golf. The results speak for themselves.
Dr. Valiante has improved the mental game of some of the best golfers in the world with his mental conditioning program – Fearless Golf. By combining research and understanding how the brain affects physiology, muscle tension, thought patterns and ultimately performance was how this program came about.
"If you pay too much attention to your outcome, you're absolutely going to have a bad taste in your mouth," says Valiante. He goes on to say, "no one likes to end with a bogey, but the reality is the more you can shed the baggage of that and let those experiences go, it allows you to play good golf."
Valiante has worked with many of the game's top players including Camilo Villegas, Stuart Appleby, Justin Leonard, Chris Dimarco, Chad Campbell, Jack and Gary Nicklaus, Heath Slocum, Notah Begay III, Charles Howell III, Tommy Armour III, Bryce Molder, Matt Kuchar, Davis Love III, Justin Rose and many, many more.
Here are just a couple of quotes from some of his players:
"Dr. Valiante helped me win my first professional tournament. He has a way of getting the best out of me," said Matt Kuchar.
"I feel confident. My putting feels very free and very confident, and that's a beautiful place to be. You can make putts from there. I am putting much better, and my mental capabilities are only getting better and better," said Stuart Appleby, a week after working with Dr. Valiante.
Currently a professor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., Valiante also serves as the mental game consultant to the Golf Channel, Golf Digest and the University of Florida. So dramatic are his results, that he's also been featured in Golf Magazine, Golf Week, Golf World, the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and ESPN.
As we said at the beginning of this article, Dr. Valiante has been a contributor to Speaking of Golf a number of times. He's taken us through a number of training techniques that he uses with golfers. One of the things that stands out in our minds is when he said that he had his golfers turn off their cell phones for a day and sometimes the entire weekend he worked with them. He said that like a computer, our brains need to shut down and reboot. We need to de-clutter our minds. Have you tried turning off your phone for an entire day? It's harder that most of us would acknowledge. Dr. Valiante is obviously on to something. His client list continues to grow. He not only has authored a book but has a DVD available for golfers of all skill levels. Check it out. Maybe you can play fearless golf.
