WTC staircase moved to museum site
NEW YORK -- The "survivors' staircase" that served as an escape route for people fleeing the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, found a permanent home at ground zero Thursday.
The 57-ton staircase was moved by crane across the trade center site to the future entrance of a museum commemorating the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The stairs were moved from their original spot at the trade center site in March . Another leg of the journey was completed in July.
The 37 stairs had stood for years as the last remaining above-ground remnant of the original trade center complex.
Eventually, the stairs will be part of the entrance pavilion to the below-ground museum, expected to open in 2012. Visitors won't be able to use the stairs but will see them as they descend a parallel stairway from street level into the museum.
9 states, Virgin Islands get suspicious envelopes
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Nine more states and the U.S. Virgin Islands have intercepted envelopes sent to government offices containing suspicious powder.
On Thursday the letters arrived in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and Wyoming.
Letters in several of the states led to office shutdowns or evacuations.
Tests indicate the powder found in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, North Dakota and Utah isn't harmful. Virgin Islands officials determined the powder there was corn starch.
Tests were pending in the other states.
Envelopes containing suspicious powder have already been received in a dozen other state capitals this week.

Photographer Spotlight: Felix Hug
Apart from having one of the most welcoming surnames Felix Hug is also an amazing travel photographer and, luckily for us, a contributor to Lonely Planet Images.
Felix was born in Switzerland at the beginning of the carneval (Fasnacht) season in 1964, the 11th day of the 11th month, at almost at 11.11 am to be precise.
How much that indicated, what would become, an unconventional lifestyle is unknown, but heavily influenced by his late father (who was passionate about painting) he followed his passion for design and the arts.
In the 1980s he started a career in design and architecture, only to be interrupted when an offer to shoot hoops in a basketball team in Europe was too interesting to turn down.
Felix then began his journey as a professional basketball player, and with basketball came lots of travelling. Armed with the Konica he had inherited from his beloved father his first travel images were born.
However, it took Felix until 2003 to turn his back completely on his attempt at a traditional career in Project Management to decide that travel photography is what he loved and would be doing for a living.
Since then he has tirelessly worked on a career in travel & destination photography that has brought him worldwide recognition in the field. He has won First prizes or Grand prize Awards in the following competitions:
@ 2004 Asian Geographic Grand Prize, Singapore
@ 2005 International Photography Awards, USA, 1st prize
@ 2007 Go Indie (PDN), Travel Professionals, 1st prize
@ 2008 American Photo, Image of the Year Nature
@ 2008 Travel Photographer Of The Year, Best Image in a Portfolio
@ 2009 The New York Photography Awards, Editorial Image of the Year
Many runner ups, 3rd prices and mentions, inlcuding a finalist spot at the Nat Geo World in Focus contest. His clients include Singapore Airlines (Silk Air), Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts and others. His images have been published in countless magazines, Including GEO, GEO Saison, PHOTOGRAPHIE, Nat Geo Traveler, Australian Traveler, Conde Nast, Travel & Leisure. He writes a travel photography column for the Asian Geographic Passport magazine in Singapore.
In 2007 he and Jamie Boyd founded the company Eyes On Asia in Singapore, where Felix now runs travel photography workshops in the region. The aim: Inspire people through positive travel images to have an alternative view on life.
He lives in Singapore and his images can be seen in changing exhibitions at the restaurant SPRUCE in Singapore, run by chef Travis Masiero from Boston, as well as within the Lonely Planet Images collection here

Adopt a local Family Service Worker
May is National Foster Care Month. Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes and Family Ministries (ABCHomes) is participating in this effort by encouraging churches to adopt local Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) family service workers (FSW).
These dedicated individuals have the unenviable task of determining if a child should be removed from his or her home. These homes, at times, are unsafe not only for the child but also for the FSW.
To make matters worse, in the past year 1,425 children were removed from their homes after normal working hours due to immediate danger, often in the middle of the night.
ABCHomes is asking churches to begin ministering to FSWs in their counties this month by preparing "after-hour care packets." Most of the time, workers are equipped with items to address the child's needs. The focus of this effort is to take care of the workers.
Many of these workers are parents. On any given night, workers may have a child in their backseats who has not been bathed, is wearing filthy clothes and is possibly infested with lice. The next morning, workers may put their own child in that same car seat to drive to school. Providing something as simple as sanitizing wipes or spray is helpful so that workers can feel safe allowing their own child to ride in their personal vehicles.
Other items for the packet could include lip balm, water, hand sanitizer packets, snacks or small flashlights. It would also be nice to include a soft praise and worship CD
workers to listen to as they return to their homes after placing the child in a safe place.
ABCHomes has created a plan to help churches create a local child welfare ministry.
In addition to adopting an FSW, ABCHomes' Connected Foster Care ministry is equipping local churches to address the foster bed shortages in their communities.
Connected provides and/or mobilizes resources needed to make foster care successful in Arkansas while giving Baptist churches an opportunity to take active roles in ministry to foster care children, families and state FSWs, and also, at the same time, reaching out to the biological families of foster children with a goal of reunification.
Besides ministering to children in Connected foster homes, ABCHomes also meets the needs of children and teens in crisis by providing residential care at the Baptist Children's Home in Monticello and the Boys Ranch in Harrisonin addition to emergency receiving homes in Judsonia, Paragould and West Fork.
To receive an "after-hour care packet" idea sheet to share with your church or to learn more, email email@example.com or call (800) 838-2272, ext. 5167.

Me encanta!!! Super limpio, y las muchachas bien amables!, yo vuelvo cada que puedo, la comida rica, el lugar tranquilo y agradable, muy recomendado …
This is a nice clean hotel, rooms are spacious and clean, we had a very nice sleeping time because mattresses are comfortable as well as the pillows. They have very friendly staff, they really go out of their way to help you in anyway they can. They have a very nice pool although it's small, they also have A nice poolside bar, the restaurant is good, nothing extraordinary. This is a good choice if you don't mind being away from the beach because it is about 10 minutes away.
Stayed November 2015, traveled with friends.

3M At A Glance
3M interns work in a variety of businesses and functions across
the entire company. The majority of our interns work in an
engineering/R&D capacity, but we also have interns who work in
Finance, HR, IT, Marketing, Sales, and a number of other areas. An
intern (typically a 10-12 week, full-time schedule assignment)
position is a temporary assignment with 3M's Corporate Student
Programs. Corporate Student Programs is designed to provide 3M with
the opportunity to identify qualified candidates for regular
employment, and to provide students with the opportunity to
integrate their academic knowledge with work experience. About 2/3
of our interns sit in our corporate headquarters in St. Paul, MN;
the rest are in a number of field locations.
Our interns' compensation includes an hourly pay rate. The
hourly pay rate is based off our new college grad rates and is tied
to the intern's field of study and year in school. Our pay rate
ranges from mid-teens to high twenties with the average around
$22/$24. 3M also helps provide subsidized housing to interns who
are relocating more than 51 miles to their work location (though
students have the opportunity to opt out and find their own
housing). The students pay $15 - $40 a day depending on the
property and 3M covers the rest. We will also do a round-trip
travel reimbursement to cover the costs of the trip to and from
their internship. In most cases, this is done per mileage (i.e. 50
cents per mile).

AbstractSingle crystal piezoelectric deformable mirrors with high actuator density, fine pitch, large stroke and no floating wires will be developed for future NASA science and communications applications. Single crystal piezoelectric DMs share the fine pitch with co-fired electrostrictive or ceramic piezoelectric DMs and MEMS DMs, but with large stroke at relatively low voltages (< 150 V) and with a broader operation temperature range (< 20 K - > 300K). Specifically, a 32x32 actuator array with stroke > 2 um, pitch of < 1mm and a 8x8 actuator array with stroke > 12 um, pitch of < 2mm will be developed for fine and coarse DMs. Actuator driving electronics will be scaled up to a multi-channel actuator driver and optimization of the design, facesheet mounting process and characterizations for deformable mirrors will be investigated.

Pink Floyd 2011 Remasters
Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, Roger Waters condemns the avarice and inequalities of capitalism, metaphorically and musically grouping humans as pigs, dogs, and sheep. The pigs are self-righteous hypocrites inflicting their beliefs on everyone else, the dogs greedy money-grabbers, and the sheep witless followers. Dark, cynical, and brilliantly composed, Animals is an ingenious and under-acknowledged album. --Naomi Gesinger --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Product Description

Alright, first off let me say that I've been a hardcore Floydian for about 6 years now (hey, I'm still a kid, gimmie a break, eh?)
But after listening to every Floyd album numerous times, I say that THIS one is the absolute best they ever made. The very first time I listened to it, I felt Roger Waters' dark and cynical mood at the time, and the way he was able to channel it into an entire album is truly amazing. Yeah, I know that 5 songs doesn't seem like alot to get from an album, but you've got to remember: this is Pink Floyd, which means that those songs are going to be easily over 10 minutes long (*with the exception of the first and last, which are 1:25 each).
Roger Waters was growing increasingly angry about the current music "sellouts" of the time, and decided to sort people into three groups: Dogs; greedy money-grabbers, Pigs; people who force their beliefs on others, and Sheep; the stupid followers.
"Pigs On The Wing, Parts 1-2" are beautiful songs with just Roger and an acoustic singing softly about 'dogs needing a home', and 'shelter from pigs on the wing'. Both appear at either side of the album. Part one is kind of like a question, and part two is the answer.
"Dogs". Bloody hell, best song the Floyd ever wrote, in my opinion. The soloing, lyrics, and sound effects all make it into such an angry song, but at the same time you feel pity for the dogs that David is singing about.
"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is a creepy song...in a GOOD way. The keyboard at the beginning gives it an eerie mood, and Rogers' profane lyrics add to the appeal of it (for me anyway, heh).
Finally, "Sheep" ends Rogers' group of animals. I really do love this song as well.Read more ›
James Guthrie and Co. , did a fantastic job remastering 1 of PINK FLOYD's best albums.
They DID turn up the volume on this 2011 remaster and it is louder [but not too loud] than the 1992 and Japanese versions. It is even better than the OH BY THE WAY versions which were mostly a collection of older remasters.
What you hear on this 2011 remaster is more bass , more drums and a lot more clarity from each instrument. Very crisp at the high ends.
These are not the STEVE HOFFMAN kind of too quiet CDs nor are they as loud as LED ZEPPELIN : MOTHERSHIP CDs. They are the perfect balance between those two. No over compression. Just warm and joyful. I wish that JAMES GUTHRIE would remaster even more older CDs for other bands too.
I could apply this same review to the single CDs , The Dark Side Of The Moon , Wish You Were Here , Meddle , The Wall and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason , as well.
AMLoR , was not only remastered but it was re-mixed as well. If you loved The BEATLES remasters volume and sound , you will just love thses CDs.
Other reviewers at Amazon.ca have written just how great the PINK FLOYD : DISCOVERY box set is and going by the sound of these 6 CDs those reviewers are right on!
I know that many others and I will never have to buy these regular PINK FLOYD CDs again. They are that excellent!
As for the songs on Animals, here is a small summary of each one:
1. Pigs on the Wing: A very good, small intro for the three songs following it. The acoustics here sound a lot like Wish You Were Here, the cover song for the album of the same title. The lyrics here are nice but a little confusing. You will understand them by the end of the album.
2. Dogs: An extremely good song. The guitar here really demonstrates Gilmour coming into his own. This is the beginning of great PF guitar songs that would peak at The Wall's Comfortably Numb.
3. Pigs (Three Different Ones): Great song. However, the pig sounds throughout it are somewhat scary, as they seem to pop out in unlikely places.Read more ›

These are delicious. Very sweet, a special treat. I had both main ingredients on hand left over from the holidays so I thought I'd give these a try. I will make these for special occasions again and again.Thanks for sharing.
You got it correctly! Also try what "Branquinhos" (Little Whites?), the opposite of "Negrinhos" (Little Negroes), made without coconut. When ready roll them in fine sugar. They will get a suttle, very fine crust around them, to die for! Oh, soooooo many childhood memories... :-)
Made for Photo Tag 08. These are so simple and SO yummy! Seriously easy but be careful once that mixture is bubbling its dangerously hot so don't splash yourself with it.Keep it on a slow bubble, and don't stop stirring! LOL

New Browser for mobile Linux devices
French software vendors, Pleyo have announced a web browser based on Apple's Webkit. The "Origyn Web Browser" (OWB) is mainly designed for use on mobile devices that run on Linux.
OWB draws its codebase from Apple's Webkit, which in turn is based on the KHTML source code. Pleyo has designed OWB's architecture to facilitate porting the browser to various consumer devices, such as media players, set-top boxes, or cellphones. Thus far, OWB has been ported to the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Pleyo has also published the OwBal PortingGuide to describe how to port the browser; the guide has a number of additional tips and tricks on working with embedded devices. The Origyn Web Browser is modular, meaning that developers only need to port the components they really need for the target device.
The Web browser is still being tested and improved. Pleyo aims to release two versions of OWB per year. Users can download the source code on Sand-Labs.org. The browser is released under a dual license of BSD and L-GPL.

"Venice a city without cars" Venice by sirgaw
Venice Travel Guide: 8,404 reviews and 22,509 photos
It was our last night in Venice that we took a vaporetto (water-bus) to Lido. We sat and gaped at the passing vista and then we arrived at Lido. As it was the last run for this particular water-bus, we were all ordered off and told to catch the next vaporetto.
OK I can handle that and lit up a smoke as we wandered along a road-way. Suddenly a car came towards us blaring its horn - it was then that we realised what had been missing for the last 3 days - the complete absence of the automobile in Venice.
The cities transport is exactly as it has been for hundreds of years - water and walking. We saw almost every conceivable form of hand drawn cart and trolley know to man and the only thing that separated the scene from the previous centuries was the attire of those wheeling their carts and their constant chatter on mobile phones.
Boats are the main form of transport and we even saw police, fire services and ambulances rushing along - on water. We saw traffic jams of water craft on the Grand Canal where the canal narrows at the Rialto Bridge and it seems the gondolas almost have right-of-way over other traffic - including, surprisingly, the police (when not on an emergency). We also saw some of the back canals of Venice - quiet places where the water gently laps against ancient stone walls.
We choose to stay in a B&B which we thought a bit expensive, but then again Venice is perhaps one of the most expensive cities in the world. With some 60,000 local residents catering for an estimated 20 MILLION visitors annually, the accommodation houses can charge almost whatever they like in full knowledge that they will be full most of the year and particularly in the warmer months.
Our entrance into Venice was by train and as we disembarked we were befriended by a lone young woman from somewhere in USA - in reality she needed someone to guide her on her way. As it was our first trip to Venice, it was almost like the blind leading the blind. She was clearly disappointed when she realised that we could not take the same vaporetto as she needed to get to her accommodation.
We caught the vaporetto and discovered we had actually gone in the wrong direction - perhaps the young woman should have guided us, so we had to disembark and wait for another vaporetto going in the right direction. In a way the error acted in our favour because we managed to get a good position and watch the passing vista of Venice. We stood in awe at the scenery of Venice.
Arrived at the Accademia vaporetto stop and then consulted our B&B supplied map of how to get there. In blind faith we followed the directions and found our accommodation - great place too. After a quick freshen up after our longest day of travel (4 different trains from Manarola on the Cinque Terra coast and a stop to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and then we found most of Venice was closed as it was Sunday, however the B&B suggested a restaurant - more expensive than we'd hoped, but at least the US Austin Girls Choir also dined there, so we were in good company.
Breakfast in our B&B was a grand buffet lorded over by the very friendly mien host in a very spectacularly decorated breakfast room - which included murals on the ceiling - that could be the setting for a fine restaurant.
Over the following 3 days we explored Venice. We crossed the famous Rialto Bridge, found the market and bought the makings of a fine lunch that we enjoyed sitting on the waters edge of the Grand Canal and marvelled at the constant passing parade of water craft.
From the Rialto we headed "inland" and crossed the island via a labyrinth of small over-crowded-with-too-many-tourists-streets to St Marks Square, where the crowds of tourists seemed to reach a zenith - and with good reason. As bird fanciers we just had to buy a bag of corn each and with arms outstretched, feed pigeons. Unfortunately we got more than pigeons as arms outstretched seemed to be a signal for the local beggars to pouch and try and snare more than corn - at least the pigeons had better sense when the bags of corn were emptied, not so the beggars who refused to take a polite "no" as an answer.
A visit to St Marks Square is simply not complete without a visit to the ornate St Marks Basilica, so like hoards of other tourists we lined up. As we entered the basilica my wifes clothing was deemed unacceptable, so she was forced to spend 1 Euro and buy a disposable modesty shawl to cover her bare shoulders. We walked around the basilica and wondered how so much wealth can be on display whilst beggars troll for anything outside - one of the paradoxes that I am yet to come to grips with.
The following day we visited the Accademia and decided to walk into another area. We could see storm clouds, flashes of lightening and we knew that we should have a stop out of the expected storm. We just made it into a cafe/bar, ordered a coffee and cake each before the rains pelted down. We witnessed a well-practiced pack up of the outdoor eating area by the staff, which was almost as good as watching the covers go on at the Wimbledon tennis - everyone knew their job. After the heavy rain it was time to head back to our B&B. We then witnessed an odd use for used pizza boxes - instant umbrellas. My wife decided to use her St Marks Basilica supplied modesty shawl as a head covering and so we wondered if there is a book to be written - "1001 uses for a disposable modesty shawl," so if you're a writer and you use the idea I want my cut of the royalties.
Restaurants and cafes are like their accommodation counterparts in the price for service department in Venice and so we found everything far more expensive than other Italian cities, however the gastronomic highlight (for us) was a tavern in a side street so small that the few pedestrians had to walk sideways in order to pass each other. The dining part of the tavern was tiny with only 3 tables, there was no menu and as the owner said, "It's all in my head." A duo of locals got a delicious looking mussel and seafood pasta dish, we got a pasta meal while being OK was nothing as grand as the locals were fed. Outside I jokingly commented to another Australian couple that the tavern should be in the guide books - apparently it is, but would be very difficult to find again - except by the locals.
Perhaps one of the most recognisable symbols of Venice is the Gondola. As I am involved in the taxi business I wanted to talk to some gondoliers. Most seemed happy to have a yarn to a fellow people transport operator. I was surprised to learn that their income levels are quite low in comparison to the very high charges for gondola rides that can exceed 120 Euro for a 45 minute journey. The waiting times for fares can be very long and there is little work in the colder months of the year.
Another recognisable symbol of Venice are the famous masks. Made of paper mache, we saw originals displayed with price tags in the hundreds of Euros. We even saw a mask designed to cover the rear quarters of probably a gay male. One of the little mysteries was the number of mask shops claiming they had supplied their masks for the film "Eyes wired shut," which stared Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, surely there was only one supplier?
The greatest threat that faces Venice's future is the impact of global warming and rising sea levels, which would inundate the city. I have read that Venice may only survive another 50 years before it is irreplaceably damaged by rising waters and has to be abandoned. It would be a world tragedy if this does occur. Perhaps the business houses in Venice should be forced to pay a percentage of their overly high tariffs and prices to a fund to ensure the very survival of their city - after all their own livelihood depends on a Venice that can continue to attract visitors from across the globe. However there are a number of organizations who are assisting in the preservation of some of the cities treasurers. One is titled Save Venice and I can only hope that you can help with at least a small donation.
I would love to return to Venice and hope to do so - one day!

A different take on a great destination. Thanks for sharing. Odd light in your pics though.
Venice is a beautiful place to visit and in many ways unique. It was partly ruined for me because of an accommodations mix-up - but still appreciated the special sites there very much.
what a great time you had in venice - i loved it too - a city without cars!!!!

Aussie Near Eight-Week Low Versus Dollar on Fed Tapering Bets
Australia's dollar traded near the lowest level in eight weeks against the greenback as traders weighed the timing of a reduction in Federal Reserve stimulus that has buoyed asset prices around the world.
The Aussie fell for a fourth day yesterday after a gauge of U.S. business activity improved. Technical indicators signal the currency could decline to 90 U.S. cents. Australia's benchmark 10-year bond yield touched its highest since March 2012. New Zealand's dollar rallied from an eight-week low after Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler said the kiwi could strengthen once the central bank begins raising interest rates next year.
"The recent run of data out the States has been good, and that increases the possibility of earlier tapering, putting downward pressure on the Aussie dollar," said Kieran Davies, chief economist at Barclays Plc in Sydney. "The Aussie is likely to trend lower over the coming months."
The Australian currency was little changed at 93.07 U.S. cents as of 5:25 p.m. in Sydney from yesterday, when it touched 92.69, the lowest since Sept. 16. It fell 2.4 percent over the previous four sessions, the biggest such decline since August. The New Zealand dollar rose 0.1 percent to 82.32 U.S. cents after reaching 81.69 yesterday, the least since Sept. 17.
Australia's 10-year government bond yields retreated three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 4.26 percent after rising to as high as 4.3 percent.
Taper Talk
The Chicago Fed said yesterday its national index of economic activity rose to 0.14 in September from a revised 0.13 the month before, with 47 of the 85 monthly individual indicators making positive contributions. Last week, reports showed an unexpected acceleration in U.S. economic growth and job creation.
U.S. policy makers will pare the monthly pace of bond buying to $70 billion at their March 18-19 meeting from the current pace of $85 billion, according to the median of 32 economist estimates in a Bloomberg News survey on Nov. 8.
"The AUD is welded to 93 U.S. cents today, dampened by simmering expectations for U.S. Fed tapering in the next few months," Annette Beacher, head of Asia-Pacific research at TD Securities in Singapore, wrote in a note to clients. "We target 92 U.S. cents by year end."
The median estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg is for the Aussie to end the year at 93 U.S. cents, dropping to 88 next year. New Zealand's dollar will close 2013 at 82 U.S. cents and 2014 at 78, they predict.
Australia's dollar failed to sustain gains driven by signs of improving consumer sentiment. The Westpac Banking Corp. and Melbourne Institute index of consumer confidence rose 1.9 percent this month, data today showed.
Technical Indicators
The Australian currency's 10-day moving average dropped below its 50-day moving average today, forming a so-called death cross for the first time since April. That was the start of a three-month, 14 percent tumble.
The Aussie is also at so-called neckline resistance in what could form a head-and-shoulders pattern, another potential signal of further declines.
"This is quite a crucial level, where you have a couple of indicators lining up to confirm the signal," said Desmond Chua, a Singapore-based market analyst at CMC Markets. "We could actually go back below 90 U.S. cents. I do think, however, we'll face a baseline support at 90, because the round numbers are always a tough level to beat."
Resistance refers to an area on a chart where analysts anticipate orders to sell are clustered, and support is where orders to buy accumulate.
New Zealand's currency recovered from an eight-week low of 81.69 U.S. cents touched after the central bank said a drop in home-building approvals and a decline in attendance at open homes are evidence that the limits on low-deposit lending are "starting to affect the housing market." The comment was made in the central bank's semi-annual Financial Stability Report.
"The concern will be that the interest differential between New Zealand and any of the advanced economies will widen," RBNZ's Wheeler told a parliamentary committee in Wellington today. "That could increase pressure on the exchange rate."

Sweetwater and Nolan County have been fortunate to have the railroad pass through our community. Early in the 20th Century, passenger trains would stop in downtown Sweetwater near Oak Street for commerce. In recent times, it seemed like "going through" was the only thing they did. Other than what Buzzi, USG, and GP used, that is about all they did was to "pass through". That was before the growth of industries like wind and oil & gas.

It is the only rail terminal location in West Texas that has the unique capability of accessing two Class 1 railroads, the BNSF and the UP! Located 5 miles east of Sweetwater, Texas and north of Interstate 20 on Eskota Road, this location is one of a kind for West Texas.
After a recent SEED Board Meeting, SEED staff and SEED President Art Maberry were in discussion concerning the sellout of all the acreage in the existing Sweetwater Business Park and where do we go from here. Art stated "wouldn't it be nice to have all the taxing entities in Nolan County meeting together to help form the look of Nolan County and our future!" With that statement, the Nolan County "Think Tank" / Forward Planning Committee was started. Art directed the SEED staff to organize and facilitate a planning session with the different entities. The core group included Nolan County, the Mayors & City Managers from Roscoe and Sweetwater, school Superintendents' from Highland, Roscoe, Blackwell, & Sweetwater along with representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Bitter Creek Water Supply, RPMH, TSTC West Texas, Nolan County Foundation, Sweetwater Industrial Foundation, and SEED staff.

I made what appears to be a mistake by "picking locks" for some of the doors when I started out on my quests in Puzzle Quest 2. Am I going to need to start over with a new character and bash all of the doors in order to get the Gate Hacker achievement?
Unfortunately, you will need to start over with a new character in order to get the Gate Hacker achievement. You have to choose "Bash" on all gates, doors, and chests in order to receive it, even if they have other opening options. You receive credit for the achievement after you complete the game, not after you bash the last door.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Renowned fantasy and comic-book artist Frank Frazetta passed away today as the result of a stroke. He was 82.
Heidi MacDonald has confirmation from his agent Robert Pistella that Frazetta died in a hospital near his home in Boca Grande, Florida.
Born on February 9, 1928, in Brooklyn, Frazetta began illustrating comic books at age 16, later working on titles like Barnyard Comics, Thrilling Comics and Happy Comics for Standard Publishing Co. By the early 1950s, he was drawing the Shining Knight stories for DC's Adventure Comics, New Heroic Comics for Eastern Color and Durango Kid for Magazine Enterprises. In 1953, he started working as an assistant for Al Capp on Li'l Abner.
Frazetta left Capp in 1961 and started illustrating for men's magazines, eventually teaming with Harvey Kurtzman on the bawdy "Little Annie Fanny" strip that appeared in Playboy. It was during this period that Frazetta began painting movie posters, and covers for paperback editions of action-adventure and Warren magazines like Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella. Frazetta's work from the mid-1960s to the early '70s became the primary influence for science fiction and fantasy art for decades.
Frazetta's work and legacy were at the center of a bitter family feud that seemed to erupt in July 2009 after the death of his wife Eleanor "Ellie" Frazetta, who had long run her husband's business. The dispute played out in public, with criminal charges, a lawsuit and angry allegations. Luckily, though, the family seemed to resolve its differences just last month.
Frazetta is survived by four children: Alfonso Frank Frazetta (Frank Jr.), William Frazetta, Holly Frazetta and Heidi Grabin.
Frazetta's death at this time comes as no great surprise, but it is a tremendous loss to the art world nonetheless. He was not only the greatest fantasy artist of all time, but also one of the two greatest and most influential American painters of the entire twentieth century (the other, of course, being Norman Rockwell).
He was a TRUE LEGEND, May he rest in peace. Amen
I lived by his art and now that his gone I feel like something's missing….. well Joe I must say It was a BIG surprise but not a good one, man.
sympathy to his friends and family and at least he went to do a commission for god with his family at peace given all that was pulled on the legend. the art world is now a darker place as a legend has now gone to do his work for god.
Frazetta – RIP
thanks for sharring your work!
An inspiration to us all to never be forgotten and to always be missed from here on out!
Thank the gods for blessing us with the true master of fantasy art!

News flash! The Chinook Observer just released their reader's survey results for the 2010 "Best of the Discovery Coast" and Boreas Inn scored in four categories! We were named "Coziest Bed and Breakfast" and "Most Romantic Get-away" and placed second for "Best Coffee" and third for "Best Omelette". Wow! Kudos to Cafe Mam from Eugene, our organic, shade-grown, free-trade coffee with our own Boreas Blend– French, Italian and Espresso. We couldn't be more pleased! We still have a couple of rooms open for our New Years' Day Celebration with Crab Cakes and Champagne! Come to the beach! (And of course, we will be watching our Ducks win the Rose Bowl!)

Wild Mushroom Fest at Boreas–Special Guests
October 31st, 2009 by Susie Goldsmith
In the Pacific Northwest, sometimes you need only to drive a short distance and you're in another world. Such is the case when we have guests from Astoria, Oregon, a quick 15 mile drive from the Long Beach Peninsula. This year, we have neighbors from Astoria visiting Boreas for our 8th Annual Wild Mushroom Festival, Holly Owen and her husband Matthew Stanley. Holly is employed by Quality Assurance International, based out of southern California. QAI oversees organic farms and processors of organic foods to make certain they are in compliance. She is a compliance reviewer and works from her home in Astoria. (How convenient is that??) Matthew is the General Manager for the Astoria Co-op and is an enthusiastic mushroom hunter. Holly and Matthew arrived yesterday for their weekend stay with a big bucket of Matsutaki mushrooms and we feasted on them last night. Currently, a bunch are being dehydrated in our oven so they can be used long after the season is over! We welcome Holly and Matthew, newcomers to the Pacific Northwest! Holly's father, Tom Owen, bought them this special Wild Mushroom weekend at Boreas for her September birthday. Thank you, Tom and Jane!
Boreas Inn named 2009 "Top 5 B&B" in KING 5 TV's "Northwest Best Escapes"
May 5th, 2009 by Susie Goldsmith
Thank you for picking Boreas Inn on KING 5 TV's Northwest Best Escapes as one of the "Top 5" Bed and Breakfasts! We are thrilled to be among the winning group and know that without our guests' wonderful reviews and votes, that we would not be named with such worthy inns. This is a great reward and knowing that we are appreciated is truly the best thanks we could have, other than a fully occupied inn! Come visit and help us celebrate being a Long Beach, Washington Best Escape! Adding to the KING 5 "Northwest Best Escapes" awards, Long Beach was voted "BEST BEACH" and the Boardwalk in Long Beach was voted "Best Place to Kiss". The North Head Lighthouse was voted #2 "Best Lighthouse" and the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse was voted #3 "Best Lighthouse". So in summary, Boreas is on the Best Beach and five blocks from the "Best Place to Kiss" and 10 minutes from two of the best lighthouses! How cool is that? Thank you to KING 5!

Annual Peninsula Event, "Ocian in View", November 7-9
October 14th, 2008 by Susie Goldsmith
Here is a press release about the upcoming annual "Ocian in View" weekend., November 7-9 on the Long Beach Peninsula. If you haven't attended this event in the past, consider coming to Long Beach to attend. It looks fascinating as always!
From Hand-Carved Canoes to Columbia Condors, 'Ocian In View' Drifts Deftly Between The Past And The Present
LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash. – September 2008 – History buffs and cultural connoisseurs won't want to miss this year's 'Ocian in View,' an absorbing look at the Long Beach Peninsula's provocative past. Slated for November 7, 8 and 9, 2008, the series of special events combines presentations by area experts with interpretive tours, educational programs and annual gatherings celebrating the Peninsula's unique heritage.
With its diverse natural gifts and strategic seaside setting, the Long Beach Peninsula has lured explorers throughout the centuries. "'Ocian in View' answers some of the questions about why people live here at the edge of the continent, on a little bit of land where the irresistible force of the Columbia River slams into the immovable Pacific Ocean," said Washington State Historical Society tour guide and lifelong local resident Jim Sayce. "Looking back in time allows for thoughtful and engaged commentary on what the area must have looked like to visitors in the late 18th century."
Launching the 'Ocian in View' festivities on Nov. 7, Chinook Indian Tribe chairman Ray Gardner will illuminate the past with his talk called "The Finest Canoes: The Chinook Canoe and its Role in Traditional Culture." The lecture will start at 7 p.m. at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. Tickets will cost $10 per person, sold at the door, with first-come first-served seating.
On Nov. 8, participants can hop aboard a bus and retrace the explorations of Euro-American sailors before the days of Lewis and Clark. Called "Land in View," the modern-day adventure will be led by Sayce, sharing a wealth of tales about the captains and crews who ventured across unforgiving seas in search of the Northwest Passage. Departing from the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum at 9 a.m. and again at 1 p.m., each tour costs $30 per person. Reservations should be made early for this unforgettable three-hour trip by calling 360.642.3446.
Other highlights of 'Ocian in View' include the following:
- On Nov. 8, participants can treat themselves to a savory combination of hot cider and history during the 11th annual "November on the North Shore," a free Open House at the Knappton Cove Heritage Center. Guided walks will take place from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at the historic site – formerly a U.S. Public Health Quarantine Station Hospital – located 3 miles east of the north end of the Astoria-Megler Bridge. For information, call 503.738.5206.
- Nov. 8 serves as the date of the Chinook Tribe Seafood Dinner, a bounty of regional seafood, salad, Indian fry bread, dessert and beverages. Prepared by Chinook tribe members, the meal will cost $15 per adult, $13 for seniors (ages 55 and older) and $5 for children under 12. Diners can join the fun from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. No reservations are required.
- Also on Nov. 8, naturalist/author/teacher Jack Nisbet will impart his vast knowledge of David Douglas, a trailblazing 19th-century London Horticultural Society botanist. Douglas made three visits to the Pacific Northwest between 1825 and 1833, and his remarkable acquisitions provided a unique look at regional plants and animals during the period of contact. The lecture is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Ilwaco's Hilltop Auditorium. Admission will be $10 per person.
- Nov. 9 heralds the dedication of a California condor sculpture crafted by nationally known artist Bart Kenworthy. A life-sized replica with a 9-foot wingspan, the bronze sculpture has been erected as a tribute to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which found a 'vulture of the large kind' in 1805. The condor is posed on the ribs of a whale, with both creatures attached to a basalt rock weighing 40,000 pounds. The free ceremony begins at noon at the Port of Ilwaco's covered pavilion.
- On Nov. 9, condors continue to command attention during "Columbia Condors: Forgotten Giants in the Sky," a free lecture by Oregon Zoo Research Associate David Moen. Through the Condor Recovery Program, the Oregon Zoo is involved with captive breeding of the bird, once nearly extinct and now an integral part of the natural and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest. Moen will share his insights at 1 p.m. at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum.
- Throughout Nov. 9, the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center will welcome guests to a memorable Open House. Coffee, juice and cake will be served at the center, where extensive exhibits spotlight the landmark 19th-century Corps of Discovery Expedition. The free event will run from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Cape Disappointment State Park.
- In addition, Nov. 9 features the dedication of a large-scale replica of the United States Mint nickel, created to honor the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial in 2005. Photographer Andrew E. Cier – whose photograph inspired the nickel's design – will attend the free ceremony, held at 3:30 p.m. at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.
'Ocian in View' is presented by a partnership of community non-profit organizations, led by the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum and the Pacific County Friends of Lewis and Clark. For general program and destination information, please call the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau at 1.800.451.2542 or access the Peninsula's website at www.funbeach.com.
Dragon Sky at Boreas
October 6th, 2008 by Susie Goldsmith
It was a stormy day this Saturday and in the afternoon, the skies cleared and these spectacular clouds appeared on the horizon. At first, they were two alligator-like heads, then the wind flattened out the southerly head and turned it into a whipping tail. We hadn't seen anything like it before–so we snapped a shot off our top deck. What an entertaining and beautifully colored sunset it was. The image doesn't do it justice!
Boreas Inn's Wild Mushroom Celebration is Coming Up!
August 25th, 2008 by Susie Goldsmith
The Kite Festival for 2008 has come and gone. We had a super mellow week with wonderful guests, most of whom have been coming here for close to a decade. Visiting with their families and friends who dropped by was great fun. The weather was fabulous the last three days and on sunny Saturday we spent a few idyllic hours with friends on the warm beach in front of the inn and I snapped some pictures. I loved the gigantic penguin kite!
Now we look forward to Boreas' 2008 Wild Mushroom Celebration to be held October 17-19. I finally bought a little Flip Video camcorder and when Veronica Williams, our "All Wild" forager showed up with some spectacular Wild Lobster Mushrooms, it seemed like a good time to film my first-ever video! I have uploaded it to YouTube and will try to upload it here! Excuse the wobbliness–I'm a newbie.

This is my grandfather, Richard Collett who served in both the Boer War and WW1. His unit was First Life Guards. He was a fine horseman and a decorated soldier. He was also a wonderful man. He was born in Oxfordshire in 1881 and died in England in 1961. I am very proud of him.

Mitt Romney and his Super Pac backers spent tens of millions of dollars trashing all of his Republican opponents throughout the primaries and with devastating effect. Just ask Newt Gingrich who complained bitterly about the $15 million worth of Romney attack ads in Florida alone that knocked him out of the running.
When the former speaker and other Republican rivals grumbled that over 90 percent of the Romney ads were negative, the former Massachusetts governor replied with a version of Harry Truman's favorite rejoinder about folks who can't take the heat staying out of the kitchen.
But now that he is the one feeling the heat from Obama and the Democrats, Romney is bawling like a baby.
The latest thin-skinned name-calling offensive is said by political insiders to be a response to polling showing voters like Obama more than Romney and the gap is growing.
Both sides have been assaulting voters with attack ads but Romney wants us to believe his hands are clean and all he wants is a lofty discussion the issues.
Howard Fineman of Huffington Post said Romney's new approach reminds him that "the people who commit the most fouls are usually the ones who cry the loudest to the ref."
Romney's feigned outrage has led Democrats to respond that he's becoming "unhinged."
He's not, of course. Maybe a bit anxious about setbacks like his gaffe-prone foreign trip, the improving economy, pressure from right and left to release his tax returns and his failing popularity. He's hoping these attacks on the President will help rescue his campaign the way they helped defeat his fellow Republicans earlier this year.
Maybe Mitt, who likes to dish it out but can't take it, should remember what he when his rivals were the ones complaining about him: If you can't take the heat, you don't belong in the kitchen.

These statements that Romney has made about glboal warming aren't the only problem with having him run in 2012.I plan a post next week on some of Romney's other shortcomings.A RINO -- if there ever was one.
Seems like anything goes. Whites for Romney would be racist. Jews for Romney would be interesting although their are not too many of us. In the mean time people in the U.S.A. are starving, loosing their jobs and homes , people remain unemployed and the people in congress are counting their millions. Our leadership does not understand that gas prices are now back to high levels, the climate has changed, rivers are at all times lows, glaciers are melting and genocides are occurring throughout the world especially in Syria on a daily bases. Both sides are too blame. This message is not mean to be part of the continuing propaganda circus but rather a stern warning that our planet is in danger. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG EDISON NJ
The Democrats are finally using the hardball politics that the Republicans have used for years, but when its happening to them, the GOP cries foul and can't handle it. I LOVE IT!

They should fire their IT staff and only run it using their 3-month program "grads". Is this the same company that tells companies that they should only hire PMP certified people which, of course, a PMP certification can only be obtained from them?

I am desperately looking for a more or less detailed description of how an application is loaded into memory and then executed in Linux. Basically, I would like to know what information is read from the ELF file, which system calls are executed, such as exec() until this information is stored in the process descriptor.
Does anyone know a good description. Dr. Google was not so helpful so far

Would it provide increased security if I zero-filled the RAM before powering off? If that worked, what similar protection could be applied for sleep mode?
RAM is volatile memory. Nothing is held on power down, so there's no reason to zero it, it does that itself by not having power.
Sleep mode basically just "freezes" the current RAM state. If you zeroed that out, it'd be like rebooting.
The cold boot attack is scary, but also improbable. Most laptop thieves aren't going to risk permanent hardware damage on their merchandise on the possibility that a) you're using FDE in the first place, and b) you have data worth stealing (and c), most laptop thieves have never heard of "cold boot attack" and don't go to Princeton). Much more likely attack vectors exist that should be prioritized ahead of cold boot, IMHO.
Having said all that, for a discussion of cold boot and mitigations, see here: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/7299/how-can-the-impact-of-cold-boot-attacks-be-minimized/8641#8641

I gave this as a gift to my grandmother who is blind. She loves it because she now knows who is calling before she picks up the phone if she recognizes the number that is being repeated. However, I wish there was a way to input names and have the ID repeat the name instead of the number.
There is no room to hide any cord in the back if you hang it on the wall. You will have to purchase a very short cord if you do not want it to show and the cord from the phone to the reciever is too short. I will have to purchase a longer one unless I want to sat right up to the phone.
I bought this phone with high expectations for it. I've never been more disappointed in my life. Difficult to instal, but the worst problem is, it won't work with any phone jack I've tried it with. It's being either returned to the nearest store or to the warehouse it came out of.
Lousy Product, plugged phone in to phone line and no phones in the home would ring, all calls went directly to voice mail. It does no good to have a phone that never rings. No way to tell if the phone actually worked or not. Returned for refund.
phone is very hard to use.Phone manual is all wrong,can not get phone to do what it say will do. phone will not stop ringing once other phones have stop in house. and you can not get a standard ring on the phone,like the manual say you can.
it's nice for the money and you can hear the talking caller good my only problem is the reciever comes off relly easy and knocks off the phone off the hook and if your trying to use the speaker phone and it happens it hangs up.
Overall, the phone is excellent. I did notice a slight problem; namely, that the time is usually behind. I reset the time periodically.
this was a good phone for peole with disabilities. only suggestion make the cord a little longer
interesting ring tone pluse
you can program it to
tell you the number
of the person calling
you need to be a physics expert to keep the phone in its cradle
