Tom could not be more friendly and accommodating. As compared to other places, this B&B offered tasty, full breakfasts. The always open common lounge area was welcoming and well stocked with cookies and soft drinks, tea or coffees, even sherry. There was an extensive collection of DVDs too. The wrap around front porch and grounds were wonderful too. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We went up as three couples from the same family, and loved our stay. The rooms were clean and inviting, Roz was a very welcoming host and breakfast both days was delicious. Cookies and brownies and coffee available whenever we wanted them. I recommend this Inn to anyone staying in the Skylands area of NJ.

We stayed for a long weekend 3/25 -3/28/2016. Ros was amazing. The décor and the breakfast that was prepared each morning was truly wonderful. She really would make you feel right at home. Very pleasant staff. I would definitely return and recommend this to everyone. My husband and I rode bikes along the canal which are complimentary. We also went to Bushkill Falls which is about 40 minutes form the hotel. Lots to see. Very cozy!!!

The inside story to my recent stay, before my review... I was given a weekend stay gift card by a very dear friend of mine... She knows that I'm basically a jeans, t-shirt and sneakers type of guy, and was hoping to broaden my horizons with a stay at the inn... My plan was to enjoy a relaxing 'no plans' weekend away and see what came up... We checked in mid-day on Friday and were greeted by the very gracious Ros, she filled us in on everything and showed us to our room... And we just settled in for a lazy night, complete with some very yummy freshly baked cookies and brownies and a fine glass of sherry... Saturday morning we headed down for a breakfast that left us full, and every tastebud tickled... We headed out to explore the local area and came back after a few hours to find our freshened up room... The room well it was quaint and comfy, with a bathroom that we kinda wanted to sneak home with us... We asked Ros for a recommendation for an Italian restaurant, and wow she sent us to an awesome one... So to sum it up, we totally enjoyed our stay, and are looking forward to future visits to further explore the area, knowing we'll enjoy great hospitality, an awesome breakfast and a relaxing stay away from our everyday... Thank you Ros...

We wanted to relax and enjoy some time together... and our expectations were exceeded. This B&B has old world charm that lends perfectly to romance and relaxation. Our suite was very unique, comfortable, spotless and with great amenities. Ros and the staff are welcoming, kind and attentive, while allowing plenty of privacy. We were pampered with delicious breakfasts - the lemon pancakes are to die for!! We also enjoyed dinner at nearby restaurants that Ros recommended. It was the perfect getaway, one we hope to return to one day. Thank you!

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (Yonhap) -- The United States has expressed strong concern to China after a Chinese fighter jet conducted a "dangerous intercept" of an American patrol aircraft over waters off China earlier this week, the Pentagon said.
The incident happened on Tuesday in international airspace about 135 miles east of the southern Chinese island of Hainan, said the Pentagon press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby. "An armed Chinese fighter jet conducted a dangerous intercept of a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon aircraft" on a routine mission, he said.
The Chinese jet came within 30 feet of the U.S. aircraft at one point, he said.
"We have registered our strong concerns to the Chinese about the unsafe and unprofessional intercept, which posed a risk to the safety and the well-being of the air crew and was inconsistent with customary international law," Kirby said.
"Also, it undermines -- and we've made this clear, that it undermines efforts to continue developing military-to-military relations with the Chinese military," he said. "So that's where we are now."
Kirby said the situation was "very close, very dangerous."
He said the Chinese jet made several passes, including one in which it passed the nose of the U.S. aircraft "at 90 degrees with its belly toward the P-8 Poseidon" in an apparent attempt to "make a point of showing its weapons load out."
The White House also said the intercept was a "deeply concerning provocation."
"What we've encouraged is constructive military-to-military ties with China, and this kind of action clearly violates the spirit of that engagement," Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, told reporters.
On April 1, 2001, a U.S. Navy EP-3E signals reconnaissance aircraft collided with a Chinese J-8 fighter jet about 70 miles from Hainan, causing the death of the Chinese pilot. The EP-3 was forced to make an emergency landing on Hainan, where the 24 crew members were detained and interrogated for 11 days.

Final Word: Reflection jog
By Jeremy Speer, Editor
April 23, 2013
On Friday, I celebrated my 30th birthday. It was a milestone that didn't really bother me. Jeremy at age 20 may have called 30 "old," but Jeremy at age 30 didn't really feel any different. I did eat a salad at my birthday dinner, which I am sure is a first in my life. After a night of celebrating and playing games with my family in my hometown of Alpena, I woke up Sunday morning and went for a jog. The temperature said 28 degrees, but the sun presented an irresistible invitation.

Perch fishing remains hot, salmon does not
October 3, 2007
Perch fishing is the best thing going around Northwest Michigan right now. Good fishing is reported on Lake Charlevoix, Walloon Lake and on Pickerel and Crooked Lakes. While there are still salmon out in the depths, many of the downrigger set have given up on them. The shore and pier anglers are still getting some, however, and there are many fish in area rivers. There are many hunting seasons open now with mixed results. Dave at Young's in Alanson reports good perch fishing on Crooked Lake.

Housekeeping Ding Ding Ding! We Have a Winner!
posted by August 7 at 16:50 PMon
It's official: only three people have read The Stranger Election Control Board's 2008 endorsements.
Halfway through the endorsements, buried in the text for the oh-so-exciting Attorney General race, we wrote:
McKenna's Democratic opponent, Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg, is a funny, smart, savvy politician with a strong environmental record. As a county executive, he worked hard to clean up illegal dumps and junk cars, earning the endorsement of the überliberal Sierra Club despite his support for the controversial Cross-Base Highway across Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base. (To see if anyone actually read this far, The Stranger is proud to offer a $50 check and a minibottle of Jack Daniels to the first person that e-mails us at email@example.com.)
So far, we've only received three emails. The first one came from 33-year-old William Lee, who read through the SECB's endorsements on his lunch break, mostly because he didn't have anything better to do. "I [was] out of new reading material," Lee says. "Usually if Im reading at lunch time its novels."
Did Lee gain anything by reading the SECB's endorsements? "I already knew I wasnt going to be voting for Rossi," he says. "Thats a given."

Help support your Meetup
We are a group dedicated to increasing knowledge and awareness about MongoDB, an Open Source, document-oriented, NoSQL database. The rapid evolution of the web and the proliferation of unstructured data and new media content across servers (think hyperlinks and URIs), fuelled by the BYOD revolution has necessitated a ground up redesign of the database paradigm, resulting in a revolutionary new product like MongoDB, which has been written in C++. The RDBMS world is abuzz.
We believe this is a game changer and hope that you agree. See why leading Cloud & media firms like Disney, Forbes, MTV Networks, Salesforce.com and Intuit (maker of Quickbooks) have adopted MongoDB, CouchDB, Hadoop or other NoSQL flavors.
Please join us for our monthly meetings to learn more about some of the most exciting developments transforming the social enterprise.

Wells Fargo-Backed Hedge Fund Said to Seek Money as Bank Exits
Wells Fargo & Co. plans to withdraw the capital from its affiliated hedge-fund firm, Overland Advisors LLC, as the asset manager seeks new investors, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Wells Fargo, responding to U.S. curbs on risk-taking by banks, will withdraw about $150 million every quarter through the first half of 2014, said one of the people, declining to be identified because the move isn't public. Overland manages about $2.1 billion, according to a two-page factsheet provided by Laura Fay, a bank spokeswoman. The fund is looking to raise $1 billion from outside investors, the people said.
"There is some seed money in there from Wells Fargo," Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins said in a Jan. 19 interview without specifying the amount. "Typically what happens is that seed money comes out after a period of time after the business grows, so I think of that as primarily a mechanism for third-party customers."
Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, will still collect income from fees charged to manage client assets once its capital is removed, Atkins said. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are among U.S. banks breaking off or winding down proprietary-trading units to comply with a provision of 2010's Dodd-Frank financial legislation that prohibits lenders from betting capital for their own accounts.
Overland was formed in January 2010 when Wells Fargo decided to move a proprietary-trading group out of the Securities Investment Group, run by John Shrewsberry, and into an asset-management division.
Arm's Length
"This is keeping them at arm's length," said Terry Connelly, dean of the Ageno School of Business at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, and a former managing director at Salomon Brothers. Wells Fargo is "anticipating this thoroughly and keeping a relationship that is a good benefit to them."
Wells Fargo executives have said that proprietary trading was a smaller contributor to earnings than it has been for rivals.
"We believe the impact on Wells Fargo overall will be lower than the impact of our large bank peers, particularly in areas such as proprietary trading," Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf said on a conference call in July last year, speaking about financial reform. Two months earlier, at the company's investor day in May, he said "diversity in our business model and our lack of proprietary-trading activity creates high-quality, less-volatile earnings."
Atkins said on May 19 that Wells Fargo, in integrating Wachovia Corp.'s investment-banking division, was "exiting equity proprietary trading, exiting distressed debt trading and correlation trading." He didn't mention Overland Advisors.
Volcker Rule
The rule against risk-taking by banks is named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who proposed it. Bank holding companies with federally insured deposits are barred from having hedge-fund and private-equity-fund holdings that account for more than 3 percent of bank capital or 3 percent of an individual fund's capital. The rule, which became law in July as part of Dodd-Frank, also bans proprietary trading.
Overland is now part of Wells Fargo's Asset Management Group, the business run by Michael Niedermeyer, Fay said.
"We are pleased to be able to leverage this internal investment talent to establish an affiliate focused on providing accredited investors access to a relative value strategy," Niedermeyer said in an e-mailed statement.
Prior to the move, the proprietary-trading group managed about $4.3 billion of the bank's capital. By the time the fund was launched, Wells Fargo's capital had been reduced to $3.5 billion, one of the people said. The Overland Relative Value Fund started in March 2010, AR magazine reported in July.
Client Investments
The bank's capital is held in a separate account from client assets, according to both people. At the time of last year's launch, clients had about $204 million of assets invested, AR reported.
Uncertainty over passage of the Volcker rule and its impact on Wells Fargo's ability to invest in the fund made it difficult to attract outside capital, said one of the people. Investors have shown an increased willingness to invest now that the bank has a plan to withdraw capital, the person said.
Wells Fargo is among banks including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs that moved star trading teams into asset-management divisions as a way of retaining talent and preventing a total drain on profits, Charles Peabody, an analyst at Portales Partners LLC in New York, said in an interview.
Moving Traders
Traders "had their upside capped and they were itching to make money, and so said, 'Either put me in a place where I have an upside like asset management with a special structure or I'm going to go to private equity or start up my own fund,'" said Peabody, who wasn't referring to Wells Fargo specifically. "You either have to say, 'Okay go your own way,' or you will have to structure something internally."
In October, KKR & Co. said it planned to start a unit to invest in stocks with proprietary traders from Goldman Sachs after regulations spurred the investment bank to shed a team that made bets with the firm's capital.
Overland Advisors is led by Gordy Holterman, 45, and Derek Dunn, 38, and employs about 11 people in the investment team, and 22 overall, according to the factsheet. The team had helped run an internal relative-value portfolio for almost a decade at Wells Fargo, said one of the people.
Holterman joined Wells Fargo in 2001 as head of financial products, and oversaw the internal portfolio since inception. Dunn joined Wells Fargo in 2007 and previously worked at D.E. Shaw & Co. LP and Man Group Plc-backed Marin Capital.
Overland Advisors
Overland Advisors is "involved in capital structure arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, event-driven, special situations and distressed strategies," according to the LinkedIn page of Darrell Leong, who describes himself as an analyst. James Gifford, a portfolio manager, said he's in charge of "U.S. equity-linked strategies, including convertible arbitrage & equity volatility," according to his LinkedIn page.
The firm typically holds 80 to 100 positions "where there is an expected event catalyst or undervalued optionality," according to the factsheet. It uses so-called quantitative strategies, or mathematical models, to trade securities, said a third person familiar with the firm.
Wells Fargo holds private-equity investments that may be subject to the new financial rules. The bank has backed Norwest Venture Partners, a venture-capital fund that manages more than $3.7 billion, and Norwest Equity Partners, with $4.6 billion.

Jankowski in 1980.[2] The Haptoria includes mostly carnivorous forms, for instance Didinium, a species of which preys primarily on the ciliate Paramecium. The Trichostomatia (trichostomes) are mostly endosymbionts in the digestive tracts of vertebrates. These include the species Balantidium coli, which is the only ciliate parasitic in humans. The Rhynchostomatia include two free-living genera previously included among the Haptoria, but now discovered to be genetically distinct from them, the Dileptida and the Tracheliida.[3]
The body cilia arise from monokinetids, which have an ultrastructural arrangement characteristic to the group. The mouth is apical or subapical. In trichostomes it lies in a depression, or vestibule, containing modified somatic cilia. In one order, the Entodiniomorphida, the cilia are arranged into tufts or bands, and may be packed together to form syncilia, resembling the membranelles and cirri of spirotrichs (with which they were originally classified) and other ciliates. However, no true compound cilia occur.
In haptorians the mouth is typically surrounded by a ring of coronal cilia, arising from dikinetids derived from the anterior of the body kineties, and a ring of characteristic extrusomes called toxicysts. These discharge on contact with prey, penetrating and immobilizing them, and beginning digestion. In some forms the mouth is formed only during feeding, and everts to assist in capture. The cytopharynx takes the form of a straight tube, supported by rods or nematodesmata, which dilates greatly during ingestion. This structure is called a rhabdos, and is functionally and structurally distinct from the cyrtos found in several other classes.

Tags: data, funnel, optimisation, UX
We often get asked for case studies about Website Funnel Optimisation.
A funnel is way of visualising data. As this is often a competitive advantage, companies are not keen on publishing this information.
In this post, we share three case studies. These are the published studies that we aware of. If you know of any more please add them in the comments.
The case studies show that by simplifying and reducing the number of steps, each website was able to massively increase their conversion rates (and sales).
This is a powerful case study on how HSBC Hong Kong went from an average of 9 inquiries per month to 800 inquirie per month. They achieved this by simply by cutting the numbers of form fields from 14 down to just 3.
Source: Bank 2.0: How Customer Behaviour and Technology Will Change the Future of Financial Services. See page 28 to 30.
The "Three hundred million dollar button" is a great example of a form that was super simple, it asked for an email and password, but customers still did not buy. Carrying out the usability testing helped identify the why.
The form was meant to help repeat customers fulfill a purchase on the site. First time users were very resistant to registering on the site, as they felt they would be giving away information to be used for marketing purposes. Even repeat users, who had previously registered, had problems recalling their login information and either used the password recovery link or resorted to multiple registrations.
And the solution?
They took away the Register button. In its place, they put a Continue button with a simple message: "You do not need to create an account to make purchases on our site. Simply click Continue to proceed to checkout. To make your future purchases even faster, you can create an account during checkout."
The results: The number of customers purchasing went up by 45%. The extra purchases resulted in an extra $15 million the first month. For the first year, the site saw an additional $300,000,000.
Source: UIE
In a similar case, Expedia used analytics to find out why their customers were not completing a purchase, even after clicking the buy button and entering their billing information.
By analysing what was going wrong they worked out that one data field – "Company" – was confusing customers, causing the transaction to fail. Expedia simply deleted the confusing data field and saw an immediate jump in successful bookings
Source: Lexology and here Singlehop.com
The case studies show that the small details matter. They can range from the choice of words to the way buttons are laid out. With a solid research methodology it is easier to pin point where these changes need to happen. With remote usability tests and surveys we are able to get the view point of the user.
In the past we applied our remote usability testing tool to Travelport for their new product launch. The project involved travel agents in 5 different countries, and helped provide insights into the usability and user experience of this new product.

Santa's challenge is that he wants to deliver the right present to the right person, but he is constrained by being far far away from his customers. What the children in Lapland want is very different than the children in Brazil, or Ireland. Only by using Remote Usability Testing can he reach the far corners of the world. Santa's challenges are similar to most Website Product Managers.
His customers have a broad variety of needs. Some children want the latest video game, others the latest Lego kit, and some want that patch work doll. So Santa needs to sample thousands of children to be able to find the requirements of millions of children. Only by using a service like Webnographer can you easily research 100's of users instead of 10.
Up to the last moment new toys are being released, launch dates are being changed. Only by using a service like Webnographer can the testing be moved forward or back easily. There is no participant recruitment cost to reschedule.
Santa tried AB testing last year but then 50% of the children got the wrong present. He has realised that Analytics is like accounting, it only tells you after the fact. With Webnographer you can test before.
To add Webnographer to your New Year's wish list contact Sabrina or James at Webnographer.

A couple of weeks ago James and I gave a talk at the UXPA in London. The theme of the October event was "The power of quantitative data". The title of our talk "Discovering WHY from numbers".
In a UX test, conventional UX thinking is that numbers can only tell you what happened, and cannot explain the 'why' of a UX issue. James and I showed in our talk how one can discover 'why' an issue is happening. And how one can go beyond just knowing simple completion rates.
@ElviaVasc created a great sketchnote of our talk. And there are many great pictures of the event on the UXPA Pintrest board.

It is easy to think that there is only one or two remote usability methods out there: moderated and un-moderated. But there are many more methods than just a couple.
Last year before the Denver Lean UX conference, Sabrina and I came up with a list of the different Remote Research Methods. In total we came up with 23 different methods. Some of them we use at Webnographer, and other methods we know that other people use. I am sure we are missing one or two. Please post any we are missing in the comments.
This post is the first one of a series, giving a top-level overview of all the online user research methods. Over the next few weeks, we will be posting a detailed article on some of more popular methods explaining in detail how and when to use it.
The 23 methods fall into 2 main categories: synchronous, where the moderator or researcher interacts with the respondent; and asynchronous, where the researcher does not interact with the respondent directly.
The methods listed with a (w) are ones that
we either use or have used at Webnographer.
The participant and the researcher meet via web/video conferencing. The participant is asked to think aloud while the researcher notes his/her observations.
Provides a remote version of a lab test and enables a researcher to test users anywhere in the world.
This method researches communities facilitated through online spaces such YouTube, Twitter, or Pintrest. The research is carried out by participating in those online spaces.
Online Ethnography helps increase empathy and reduce context collapse. By partaking in the experience the designer understands the participant's perspective.
Participants are called and asked questions on the phone.
A quick way of gathering responses from users. It can be useful for getting feedback from users who will not take part in other forms of survey data.
This method provides information about where the participant is looking on the page. It identifies what attracts their attention and what passes unseen.
It shows which areas of the webpage users look at first and which areas they ignore.
Users are intercepted when they arrive on the website. They are asked the reason for their visit before being redirected back to the site to complete the task using a remote usability testing tool. While they complete the task, their interaction with the site is recorded.
Records real user behaviour and identifies their real goals. Identifies why people are visiting and whether they succeed or not. Helps to prioritise and quantify issues.
Participants are set a task on a website to find a piece of information. While they navigate through the site their interactions are recorded with a remote usability testing tool.
Evaluates if users can complete a task successfully, how they navigate the site, and the amount of time spent. It provides insights into where and why customers are having problems.
Participants are asked to perform a task on the website within a given time.
Tests how people will perform under stress. Often behavior is different in stressful situations.
Users are asked to complete a task on a single page. Once participants click on the page the task is finished. The test can be done with static mock-up or real sites.
Provides a fast way of gathering early feedback. This method evaluates whether users can find a piece of information within a page. Metrics include success ratings, time on task, and satisfaction ratings.
Participants are shown a webpage for five seconds. They are then asked to write down everything they remember about the page.
Shows what users remember about the webpage, and evaluates what items are the most prominent. This method uses recall memory.
Participants are shown a webpage. The page then "disappears" and participants are shown a list of items. The participants must identify which items were on the webpage and which items were not.
Shows what users remember about the webpage, and evaluates what items are the most prominent. This method uses recognition memory.
Participants are asked to give feedback via email, postal mail, or a web form about their experience after visiting a site.
A fast and relatively inexpensive method of collecting data about users' experiences.
This method is used to test alternative designs or versions for the same webpage. It can use a web stats package or a remote usability testing tool like Webnographer.
With a large enough sample size, this method identifies which design route works best.
Web analytics collects your website's visitor log data, and allows the analysis and reporting of Internet data for purposes of understanding and optimizing your website.
Discover where your visitors are going, what pages they are visiting, and how long they are staying. This method does not identify why users are visiting.
Participants are given a set of cards. They need to come up with the appropriate categories and group similar cards.
A card sort can help navigation design and information architecture. This can also be an effective way of determining which labels and wording works best.
Participants are given a set of cards and categories. They need to group similar cards under each appropriate category.
A card sort can help navigation design and information architecture. This can also be an effective way of determining which labels and wording works best.
Participants are given a set of cards and categories. They need to click on the appropriate category for each card.
This is similar to a card sort but, due to its faster interaction, users can complete far more items than a card sort.
Participants are asked to perform a task. They are shown a list of items, such as links, and they need to select the one item they think is the most effective to complete the task.
A tree test is useful for testing menu structures.
Participants are asked to keep a log/diary of their activities over a period of time. The study can have a focus/theme. In this case, participants need to track everything related to a given topic.
Helps to understand how users' experience changes over time. It can help with getting a broader experience, especially with a service that has multiple touch points.
Participants are sent a link to a website and give their design suggestions via instant messaging.
Co-design goes remote. This allows people with diverse backgrounds to contribute to the design.
Users film their experience and then email the video back to the researchers.
Video reduces context collapse. It makes the designer feel closer to the research participant.
Participants respond to a survey online. They can either be intercepted on a website or emailed the invite to take part in the research.
It is one of the most cost-effective ways of gathering a large selection of user feedback.
The study is conducted over a period of time with the same participants. The aim is to observe the changes that occur between the different sessions.
It is useful to see how users experience changes over time.
Users are intercepted by a pop-up window when they arrive on the website. They are asked for their email address and about their goal.
The following day, the user is emailed a follow-up survey questioning the success of their visit.
A delayed survey captures the whole customer experience.
Real users are intercepted by a pop-up window. They are asked if they want to take part in the research, and a new window opens in a pop-under if yes. When they end the session and close the browser, the survey window reappears, and they are asked a couple of questions.
Captures users' experience after their interaction with the site.
This post is the first one of a series, giving a top-level overview of all the online user research methods. Over the next few weeks, we will be posting a detailed article on for each method explaining in detail how and when to use each method.
Feel free to post in the comments, if you feel that we are are missing a remote research method.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- Zach Parise's power-play goal with 8:57 remaining snapped a tie and gave the United States a 6-4 victory over Germany in a qualifying-round game at the world hockey championship on Thursday night.
The Americans appeared to have the game in hand when they scored three times in the opening 2:52, but Germany chipped away at the lead.
Germany got even at 4 early in the third, but Parise of the New Jersey Devils put a shot over goalie Dimitrij Patzold for his second of the game. Dustin Brown sealed the victory with an empty-netter with 1:36 remaining.
"We kind of let them hang around," said Parise, who had two goals and an assist. "We let them off the hook a little bit, but I don't think it's much of a concern. (Germany) played hard.
The United States bounced back from a loss to Canada on Tuesday and grabbed a 3-0 lead on its first four shots.
"If anything, we learned we have to play a 60-minute game," Parise said. "The teams in this tournament are too good to let them off like that."
Parise opened the scoring 26 seconds in, Patrick O'Sullivan made it 2-0 at 2:10, and James Wisniewski pushed the lead to three 42 seconds later.
Germany got on the board at 14:03 of the first when Michael Hackert bounced in a wraparound shot off a sliding O'Sullivan and behind goalie Craig Anderson.
Three minutes later, Germany scored again when Christopher Schmidt one-timed a shot under Anderson, who faced only four shots in the period.
In the second, the U.S. took a 4-2 lead when Jason Pominville banked the puck in off Patzold during a 5-on-3 power play. Germany cut the deficit to one about 5 minutes later when Florian Busch scored his second of the tournament.
The Americans held a 32-9 shots advantage through two periods.
Germany tied it 4:55 into the third when Michael Bakos beat Anderson from the point. Anderson was pulled in favor of Robert Esche after allowing four goals on just 10 shots.
"Give them credit. Germany played a good game," said defenseman Paul Martin, who assisted on both goals by Parise, his Devils teammate. "But we didn't give them a lot chances. They just did a good job capitalizing on their opportunities."
Earlier in Halifax, Rick Nash scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:58 left to lift Canada to a 2-1 victory over upset-minded Norway.
Norway entered as a heavy underdog against the unbeaten Canadians and nearly pulled off a stunner. Nash foiled the plan with a strong effort that produced the winner.
"We knew what we were in for," Nash said. "We didn't expect it to be that close, but I think it's a good team-building game for us."
Norway was already the surprise team of the tournament after its overtime loss to Finland and an upset win over Germany. Mads Hansen scored Norway's lone goal on a short-handed breakaway against Columbus' Pascal Leclaire in the second period.
"We can't outplay Team Canada," Hansen said. "We've got to destroy them. We've got to be on them all the time and then we've got to hope for a break."
He made it 1-1 with just over 26 minutes to play and sent a surge through the Norwegian bench. It just wasn't enough.
Mike Green had the only other goal for Canada, which seemed out of sync despite putting 52 shots on goal. The Canadians didn't create enough traffic in front -- especially on the power play -- and had trouble making crisp passes.
"I think there's always reason for concern in our game," Canada coach Ken Hitchcock said. "The goalie is the difference-maker in our sport. He can win games, he can steal games."
Norway has beaten Canada only once in 16 tries at this event, a 4-3 upset eight years ago in St. Petersburg, Russia.
"We were hoping again, but it didn't work out," Norway captain Tommy Jakobsen said.
In Quebec City, Sweden bounced back from a lackluster loss to Switzerland with an 8-1 rout of Denmark on Thursday.
Just 23 hours after its first loss of the tournament, Sweden took the ice with shuffled lines and coasted to victory in its first qualifying round game.
Henrik Lundqvist, who led Sweden to the gold medal at the 2006 Turin Olympics, played his first game since the New York Rangers were eliminated from the NHL playoffs by Pittsburgh last weekend and made 17 saves.
Team captain Kenny Jonsson, formerly of the New York Islanders, gave Sweden a 1-0 lead just 8:47 in. Calgary's Marcus Nilson scored his first of the tournament with a slap shot that made it 2-0.
After pushing the lead to 4-0 in the second period, Sweden broke the game open with four goals in the third. Former Minnesota and Islanders forward Mattias Weinhandl had a goal and three assists.
Kasper Degn spoiled Lundqvist's shutout bid with 5:28 left. Denmark's Peter Hirch allowed seven goals before being replaced by Patrick Galbraith.
Sweden's Niclas Wallin served the first of a two-game suspension handed down by the IIHF for a hit from behind against Switzerland's Roman Wick on Wednesday.
In the other game at Quebec City, the Czech Republic handed Switzerland its first loss of the tournament, 5-0.
Martin Erat, Tomas Kaberle, Patrik Elias, Tomas Fleischmann and Jiri Novotny had the goals against Martin Gerber, and Erat, Kaberle, and Elias each added an assist. Milan Hnilicka was largely untested and stopped 12 shots.
Gerber of the Ottawa Senators was back in goal after a strong performance from Jonas Hiller on Wednesday's win over Sweden. Gerber, who surrendered only two goals in two previous starts, made 28 saves.

Sandys Parish
Sandys Parish is one of the nine parishes of Bermuda. It is named for English aristocrat Sir Edwin Sandys (1561–1629), and hence there is no apostrophe in the name. According to the website bermuda-attractions.com the pronunciation is as the English surname, i.e. 'Sands'.[1]
It is located in the south west of the island chain, occupying the three islands of Ireland Island, Boaz Island, and the larger Somerset Island, as well as a small part of the main island of Bermuda. These islands make up the western coast of the Great Sound, the large expanse of water which dominates the geography of western Bermuda, where it is joined to Southampton parish. Like most other parishes in Bermuda, it covers 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km² or 1500 acres).
Natural features in Sandys include Ely's Harbor, the Cathedral Rocks, Daniel's Head, and Mangrove Bay.
Other notable features of Sandys include the Somerset Bridge, which links the mainland to Somerset Island, and the old Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island.

FORT WORTH - The family of a Texas man who died while imprisoned for a rape he didn't commit cried and hugged at his graveside Friday with a framed copy of the state's first posthumous pardon - a document that finally proves his innocence.
Gov. Rick Perry granted Timothy Cole's pardon about three weeks ago. He gave the family the pardon document earlier Friday at a Fort Worth hotel, completing the long-fought ordeal for Cole's family.
"This is a solemn occasion, but it's also a joyful occasion," Perry said. "It's solemn because we're very mindful of the loss that was suffered by the Cole family, and we're joyful because we've restored Timothy's good name."
Cole was cleared by DNA testing in 2008, nine years after he died in prison at age 39 of asthma complications. He had spent more than 13 years behind bars, steadfastly maintaining his innocence of the rape of a Texas Tech University student in Lubbock.
Despite urgings for the pardon from Cole's family, Perry had said he lacked the authority to grant a posthumous pardon. But he granted it earlier this month after the state attorney general clarified the law in January. The Innocence Project of Texas then submitted a formal pardon request to the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
"Our family would like to thank those who worked so diligently to make this day come to pass," said Cole's mother, Ruby Session. She thanked her son, Timothy, too, "for his contributions, even though he's not here, towards affecting change and improvement in the criminal justice system."
Texas leads the nation in inmate exonerations. More than 40 Texas inmates have been released after being cleared - most exonerated by DNA evidence, according to the Innocence Project of Texas. Four of those men attended the presentation at the hotel.
Cole's brother, Cory Session, urged inmates who are innocent to keep fighting to clear their names and not to "surrender or languish in their cells."
At the grave site, under a tree near a pond at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Cory Session said his family considered the pardon "a sacred document" and would place it in his mother's home on the mantel.
"Nearly 25 years ago this week, the American dream that Timothy was pursuing turned into an American nightmare," he said, referring to his brother's 1985 arrest. He said that his brother's name now stands for "innocent men and women convicted on lousy evidence."
The 2008 test that cleared Cole implicated convicted rapist Jerry Wayne Johnson, who confessed in several letters to court officials dating back to 1995.
But Johnson can't be prosecuted for the rape that sent Cole to prison because the statute of limitations has expired.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This lively little film, a comic take on Shakespeare's tragedy, is really entertaining.
This gently amusing, genuinely sweet animated film makes you smile from start to finish?
Kids will fall in love with it as a movie treat full of heart, laughs and fantastic songs, and it could have crossover appeal as a Valentine date night treat thanks to all its pointy-hatted romance.
Any film that dares to cast the bat-chewing heavy-metal legend as a gentle, ceramic reindeer named Fawn is okay in my Bard book.
Stays too low to the ground to become an animated classic, but if there's a fairer midwinter's tale, wherefore art thou?
It has its own bizarre charms and a breezy confidence that renders it the very definition of a simple pleasure.
A welcome dose of honest silliness at a time when most family-oriented toons settle for smart-alecky.
The voices are outstanding; the story demands British accents, and with such people as Caine and Smith providing them, so much the better.
Every movie about cuddly dwarf statues in an English garden should have music this big.
Theatrically inclined parents will also appreciate a passing reference to the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Moving Co.
The clever screenplay, co-written by director Kelly Asbury (who co-helmed "Shrek 2"), follows the DreamWorks template of combining pop culture references, sight gags and action for the kids, and more sophisticated humor for adults.
If it's not an unerringly faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's play, it still manages enough wit and charm to come off.
Far too much of the film is devoted to eye-rolling pop-culture gags and long montages set to recycled Elton John songs.
Terra-cotta gnomes, the sort that decorate people's lawns, are the characters of this bizarre feature animation, which lampoons the British obsession with gardening and upholds a long tradition of cartoons pitched to tots and stoners.
It's not really a Disney film. Rather, this is a product of Starz Animation. It's a key distinction, because -- well, because Starz Animation is no Disney, and it's certainly no Pixar. It proves that here.
The movie is nothing if not anxious to please. There's a big, diverse, celebrity voice cast – Maggie Smith, Hulk Hogan and Dolly Parton as well as Caine and Osbourne.
The script feels workshopped to death yet still hits only a single broad note of irony-drenched whimsy, but the voice-work sparkles and the action-heavy animation clips along fluidly. There's charm in the backyard, but it's still of a garden variety.
The movie comes up short on inspiration despite a stellar voice cast that includes James McAvoy and Emily Blunt and a toe-tapping songbook by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Novelty alone does not a good idea make, and in the case of Gnomeo and Juliet, it's rather a disturbing, even fetishy one.

Veal scaloppine with lemon sauce
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 15 mins
A quick recipe to make.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 60 g butter
- 8 thin boneless veal steaks
- plain flour, for coating
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- lemon slice, to garnish
- Heat the oil and half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Coat the veal steaks in the flour, shake off any excess and add to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 1 minute, or until lightly browned on one side.
- Turn over and cook for another minute, or until brown.
- (Thin veal steaks should only take 1 minute to brown on each side- any longer and it will toughen the meat.) Transfer to a warm plate and season with salt and pepper.
- To make the lemon sauce, reduce the heat to low and add the lemon juice, parsley and remaining butter to the pan.
- Stir to combine, then add the veal and turn in the sauce for 1 minute, or until heated through.
- Serve the veal with the lemon sauce and garnish with lemon slices.
- Serve with a green salad or vegetables, if desired.
Most Helpful
Great one Chrissy, this time I used pork schnitzel and it worked out fine. Cheers, Jenny
Really quick and very tasty (I love lemon sauces). I like lots of sauce, so next time I think I will add some chicken broth to it. When you return the steaks to the pan it gets quite thick, so I think it could take a half cup of broth and still have a nice consistency.

Is there anything wrong with one of those ? Sorry, my misunderstanding. As Ola pointed out [rather cryptically] the Enum is from the C meaning and not the Enumeration Java meaning.

I use a Java application that writes into a MySQL Database and would like to show the data on my website.
WP Tables should take the data from the Database.
Another way would be to take the data directly out the Java Array.
Is this possible in WP Table reloaded?

West Texas A&M junior transfer forward Donald Sims wasted no time in making an impact on the Buffaloes basketball program, earning offensive player of the week in the Lone Star Conference.
The 6-foot-5 Sims helped the Buffs to wins last week in their first two games of the season, against Northeastern State and Missouri S&T by averaging 15.5 points and 10.5 rebounds. Sims shot 78 percent from the floor and was named most valuable player of the Newman Classic in Wichita, Kan.
Sims played last year at the South Carolina-Salkehatchie.
The Buffs return to action Friday, opening the two-day Texas-Permian Basin Classic against Texas A&M International.

SBP, PBA to honor 1973 champion Philippine men's basketball team
The Philippine Basketball Association and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas will honor the members of the 1973 Philippine men�s basketball team that won the gold medal when the country last hosted the Asian Basketball Confederation, now known as the FIBA Asia Championship.
PBA commissioner Chito Salud and SBP secretary general Sonny Barrios said they are planning to fete the historic squad that made the country proud 40 years ago. The remaining members of the team are expected to be given citation before the staging of the FIBA Asia Championship in the middle of the year.
�We�re planning to do that,� Barrios told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview. �We�re just looking for the right time when to do it.�
As proof that the SBP is recognizing the feat of that squad, the cage governing body of the country invited William �Bogs� Adornado during the press launch of the FIBA Asia Championship on Monday at the MOA Arena.
Adornado was the 1973 Philippine team�s top gun and emerged as the most outstanding player of the ABC.
Other noteable members of the squad include Mon Fernandez, Robert Jaworski, Francis Arnaiz, Abet Guidaben, Manny Paner, Yoyong Martirez, Ricardo Cleofas and Jimmy Mariano.
Four members of the 1973 squad are already deceased � center Big Boy Reynoso, swingman Dave Regullano and blue-collar worker Tembong Melencio as well as its coach Tito Eduque.
Salud is also planning to honor the squad during the third conference of the PBA season.
�We can fete the members probably during halftime of a PBA game, probably sa third conference para malapit na yung FIBA Asia,� said Salud.

And once we accept that, it becomes a whole lot easier to relax and let the genuine love, gratitude, and goodwill flow. And ironically, that's the exact moment when those special days really do become perfect.

Dr. Kenneth Newman, a psychoanalyst who in addition to seeing patients taught and mentored many colleagues over a 50-year career, was known for his vigor and compassion.
"He was a guy who really had fun in life, and he wanted other people to have fun too," said Fay Clayton, a friend of Newman's. "He loved life, he loved movies, he loved food, and he had strong tastes that he would make known enthusiastically."
Newman, 81, died July 7 of complications related to a prior stroke at his Gold Coast home, according to his wife, Roslyn.

Blue Devils fend off Cavaliers
Published: Monday, January 28, 2002 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2002 at 12:00 a.m.
DURHAM ó Jason Williams scored 27 points, Carlos Boozer added 25 and No. 1 Duke got tougher on the inside in the second half to race past No. 7 Virginia 94-81 Sunday night.
The Blue Devils (18-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their sixth straight by double digits since losing by one point to Florida State on Jan. 6.
Duke kept pace with No. 3 Maryland atop the ACC standings nearing the halfway point of the league season, while the Cavaliers (14-3, 4-3) fell into a fourth-place tie with Wake Forest. North Carolina State is in third at 5-2.
Williams notched his 11th 20-point game of the season, while Boozer has six in a row as the Blue Devils improved to 18-4 in their last 22 top 10 matchups and snapped Virginia's five-game winning streak.
The Cavaliers battled foul trouble all night and were led by Roger Mason's 15.
The score was tied at the half, but Duke took control in the opening five minutes of the second period.
The Blue Devils sank 7-of-9 shots as Boozer had a fastbreak layup and a slam, while Dahntay Jones scored on two follow shots. A 3-pointer by Chris Duhon ó his first points of the game ó gave Duke its first double-digit lead at 59-48 with 15:13 left. Virginia was within nine three minutes later despite missing eight straight shots at one point. But Boozer had two dunks and a follow shot and Williams a fastbreak layup to run the score to 77-59 as the nation's top scoring team inched closer to yet another 20-win season under Mike Krzyzewski.
Virginia had four frontcourt players with three fouls each after 20 minutes, but the Cavaliers were able to forge a 42-42 tie at the break.

A sex position where the girl is on her hands while the guy lifts her up by her legs and jams his penis into her vaginia.
The crabs position is a very freaky way of getting down and dirty.

Muhkam Singh
Raja Muhkam Singh was a Jat Chieftain and son of Churaman. He succeeded his father to the leadership of Jats from c. September, 1721 to 18 November 1722. Fransoo, while giving the genealogy of the Jat rulers, mentions him as the first Raja, who set up his Raj at Thun.[1] It appears, however, that he himself adopted the title of the Raja.[2][3]
Unpopular leader[edit]
Ill tempered, domineering and pugnacious, young Muhkam Singh was incapable as a leader.[4] He is believed to have forcibly occupied the vacant leadership, much against the then prevalent custom among the Jats. A majority of the Jat leaders, apparently headed by Badan Singh) did not approve it. They also disliked his intemperance and wished to sack him. [5][6] This situation precipitated an internal crisis again. Getting jealous of Badan Singh's "bravery and ability" Muhkan Singh threw that chief into prison at Khoh (6 miles north-west of Deeg).[7]
This was thus Badan Singh's second imprisonment within a short time. The maltreatment at the hands of Muhkam Singh ultimately strengthened his cause. Fransoo adds that as many as 22 prominent sardars[8] to be Raja Ram's son, Fateh Singh of Ajan, Anup Singh of Arig, Ati Ram's son, Shardul Singh of Halena, Gujars of Sihi and Helak, Purohit Kalu Ram and Lalji of Barsana and others), who loved Badan Singh for his "good behaviour" appealed to Muhkam Singh to release his cousin but he refused . [7]
Widening Discord[edit]
At a time when Muhkam Singh's strength was dwindling owing to the widening discord, he and his brother Zul Karan further provocated the Mughals. They created widespread turbulence in their neighborhood. They committed depredations on the royal highways, and despoiled the village and towns. Expelling revenue officials, they illegally realized revenue from Khalsa and Jagir Mahals. Saadat Khan failed all through to chastise the insurgents. All this caused deep anxiety to the government.[7]

you could probably tape Teri Starr in a garbage dump being ravaged by the cast of Tod Browning's Freaks, and she'd manage to generate enough electricity to power the greater Los Angeles area. Even the extremely sloppy technical aspects in this Hawaiian beach romp don't detract - much - from her watchability, though she's at her best by herself in an explosive solo. Tony Martino also scores in a sand blown multi-positional with Shay Sweet.
