thats cool ! Sorry to hear about your computer problems Hope your up and running soon. This template thingie can be iratating. <<think I spelled it wrong<<
I have tried several ways with no luck. LOL!
Sorry, I was gone for a few days. I just got back a few hours ago and came home to a dead computer. I am using my mom's right now. I am not sure how templates from other sites will work. You can use the browse feature and go to where you have the template stored and bring it in that way. I don't know if the items in the template will be moveable. If you downloaded them directly to the template section then they might work. If I had my computer I could walk you through better, but I won't have it for at least a few days and maybe a week. Maybe someone in the forums could help. Sorry, usually I am a little more helpful!
Hi !
I was hoping I could ask you a question on templates
How would you bring in a template to SBM that does not have the smt on the end of the file ? As in you downloaded outside of SBM and you have it in PNG file form.
I would like to say thank you in advance for all help you might be able to give me on this.
LOL ! thats just my luck . I think I will see whats available as far as a trail offer goes, if not then load Gimp. Either way I have got to learn how to use it. UGH !
Things tend to be harder to learn as you get older. LOL ! Old dogs can learn new tricks it just takes longer
Thanks for your responds though and I may just take you up on asking for help
Sorry, you can't do extractions in SBM. Maybe they might add that in the future, but right now you have to have a program outside of SBM. I use Photoshop Elements 6. There are a lot of programs that will do it including some free ones. A lot of people start with Gimp. You can download it for free on the internet. There are also a lot of tutorials on the internet for how to do it. I haven't used Gimp so I can't explain how to do it in that. But you can give it a try. Good luck to you! If you need help after downloading it, I am sure someone who has used gimp (or some other freeware that does extractopms) will gladly help. Just make a post in the forum asking for help. Everyone is very helpful here. If I can help with anything else, let me know. If you get Photoshop Elements in the future I can help with that.
might I ask how you do the extraction of a photo for scrapping and did you do it with SBM ? I am interested in learning how to do it myself, all I have is SBM though.
Loved your lo's

The Nagin administration says that it will meet with all stakeholders before designing the city's new juvenile detention center, but the City Council wants more assurance that the advice of national experts will be heeded.
That's why the City Council adopted an ordinance this week that requires the council's Criminal Justice Committee to sign off on plans before Mayor Ray Nagin can spend any of the $16 million designated for the center.
The council's action has triggered talk of a mayoral veto, and administration officials say that the ordinance could delay construction.
No one should want to see this critical project delayed. Conditions at the storm-damaged Youth Study Center have been described as squalid, and building a new facility for juvenile offenders is an urgent priority for New Orleans.
But the council's concern is justified given the administration's poor track record on the Youth Study Center. New Orleans Juvenile Court officials, the League of Women Voters and Citizens for 1 Greater New Orleans have pushed for reforms at the detention center without success. And more than a year ago, the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana filed suit on behalf of juveniles held there, describing inhumane conditions such as 20-hour confinement in cells and inadequate schooling, medical care and even food.
Attorneys with the Juvenile Justice Project have said that the administration has failed to work with national experts, specifically those with the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
Indeed, administration officials said last month that the lawsuit itself prevents the city from working with the foundation or any other organization to improve the center. Given that absurd position, it's reasonable to wonder how the city plans to involve experts in decisions about the new center.
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Cynthia Sylvain-Lear said that the administration has chosen an architect but is not yet ready to bring in outside stakeholders. But that involvement needs to happen early in the process.
The administration would have more credibility if it had implemented recommendations on how to operate the center -- suggestions that Juvenile Court Judge David Bell has described as low-cost or no-cost.
Councilwoman Shelley Midura, who authored the ordinance, said she and others on the council fear that the administration will design the center without expert input.
Ms. Sylvain-Lear and Capital Projects Administrator William Chrisman said that the council's ordinance is too broad and would require committee approval for every expenditure. That would be inefficient, but Ms. Midura said that she had used language that Mr. Chrisman had previously said was acceptable.
The council wants a chance to review plans before architects are authorized to create construction documents, she said. That sounds like a reasonable level of oversight.
Instead of being defensive, the administration ought to welcome input from the justice committee as well as national experts. Everyone's goal should be the same: replacing the old center with a model facility as quickly as possible.

With confetti falling from the rafters, Hornets star guard Chris Paul was wrapped in the warm embrace of his teammates as they celebrated the team's signature moment since moving to New Orleans in 2002 -- a playoff series victory.
The Hornets -- who just three years ago only won 18 games -- eliminated the Dallas Mavericks in five games 99-94 on Tuesday night in front of a sellout crowd of 18,260 at the New Orleans Arena.
"It's been a long ride," Hornets forward David West said. "The last few years, we felt like we've taken steps to get better. We've had guys come in that fit right in. We were able to take steps forward."
The Hornets never trailed Tuesday night, and Paul was sensational as a playmaker, rebounder and scorer. He finished with a triple double -- 24 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds.
"Congratulations to a young Nate Archibald (in Paul)," Mavericks Coach Avery Johnson said. "He is a special player, relentless. He is strong. He is intelligent. He has a bright future. He and his coach have great chemistry."
Paul got the ball often to West, who scored 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting. Center Tyson Chandler scored 10 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Jannero Pargo came off the bench and scored 17.
Paul was assertive from the start, pushing the tempo to keep the Mavericks on their heels. At one point he made a crossover dribble against guard Jason Terry that sent him moving in the opposite direction before flipping a pass to Julian Wright.
For the series, Paul averaged 24.6 points, 12 assists, 2.0 steals and 5.6 rebounds.
"I said I didn't want to go to Dallas (for a possible Game 6)," Paul said. "We're not popping champagne, but we're happy. Everything that we have done is all about this city. It's about rebuilding the city of New Orleans. The fans have been here for us. They are the reason that we're playing so well. We are going to fight always no matter what the environment is like, especially on the road."
Before the game, Hornets Coach Byron Scott received a standing ovation when he was presented the Red Auerbach Trophy as the NBA's Coach of the Year. Now, Scott will begin preparations to play the San Antonio Spurs in a second-round series that will start in New Orleans on Saturday.
"That was probably the toughest game we played," Scott said. "Dallas has no quit in them. They kept coming and coming. But we did what we had to do at home tonight."
In four of the five games against the Mavericks, the Hornets were a step quicker, more assertive and better defenders. Even with their season on the line, the Mavericks did not make their most assertive push until the final 1:18.
They trimmed a 17-point deficit to 97-94 with 33.2 seconds remaining. But any hope the Mavericks had of extending the series ended after forward Peja Stojakovic made two free throws with 5.7 seconds to give the Hornets a five-point lead.
"Right now, I think we're all disappointed," said Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, who struggled at times to make jump shots and finished with 22 points in 48 minutes. "I think we're a little better than what we showed in these games. You don't want to say stuff when you're emotional and disappointed. But we didn't play well enough to win this series. I don't want to take anything away from New Orleans. They've got what you need to be a good team."
Whether Scott needed bench scoring from Pargo or defensive stops by Chandler, his players delivered.
Pargo repeatedly made long-range shots, even with Mavericks draped over him. He ended the series averaging 14.6 points, after scoring a team-high 30 in Game 3.
"We wanted the opportunity to close this thing out," Pargo said. "I just wanted to help in any way I could."
Pargo made his presence felt in the second quarter, hitting his first four shots and scoring nine points.
Unable to stop that kind of execution caused Mavs guard Jerry Stackhouse to lose his composure. In the fourth quarter, Stackhouse punched the ball out of Paul's hands after play had stopped and received his second technical foul, an automatic ejection.
The Hornets never stopped playing aggressively. After the Mavericks tied the score at 32 in the second quarter, the Hornets closed out the final eight minutes on a 22-7 run to lead 54-39 at halftime. In the third quarter, New Orleans led by 11.
"We came into the postseason expecting to win," West said. "We put it on ourselves to win this series. We felt all along that we had enough to do that. A lot of people may be surprised on how this thing turned out, but we're not too surprised. We look forward to moving on."

Ferry supporters heading to Olympia
"Whidbey Island residents will take part in a large pro-ferries rally to be held in Olympia on Thursday.Sponsored the the Ferry-Dependent Counties Coalition, the rally is meant to influence legislators to provide ferry funding to make up for cutbacks caused by I-695.Islanders interested in going can carpool at the U.S. Bank parking lot in Langley. Langley Chamber of Commerce manager Loretta Martin said there was quite a bit of interest at the board meeting (last week) when the issue was discussed. She and Sybil Yates were going for sure, as was Jack Negus of the Whidbey Island Transportation Association. Island County was also expected to be represented.Anyone needing a ride should be at the bank parking lot at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, Martin said.Hundreds of ferry supporters are expected to pour into Olympia, some coming by the rented Victoria Clipper boat from the Bremerton area. On board will be supporters of continued state funding of Washington State Ferries service.After they arrive at the capitol, they'll plead their case for ferries, including urging legislators to maintain funding for a year to 18 months while possible alternative forms of ferry transportation are studied.About 30 percent of overall state ferry service and all passenger-only service is scheduled to be cut this summer because of budget cuts brought on by the voter-approved Initiative 695 repeal of the state motor vehicle excise tax.The Ferry-Dependent Counties Coalition includes government representatives of Kitsap County, Vashon Island, San Juan County, Island County, and Clallam and Jefferson counties.Additional information about the rally or a copy of the petition supporting ferry service is available at ferryrally.homepage.com/ "

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Central City, a historic district added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and bounded roughly by South Claiborne Avenue on the north, Carondelet Street on the south, the Pontchartrain Expressway on the east and Louisiana Avenue on the west.
Central City is one of the oldest neighborhoods upriver of Canal Street, having blossomed in the 1830s when work started on the New Basin Canal. Demand was high for housing for the thousands of immigrant laborers who worked on the project, sparking a building boom.
Today, a rebuilding boom is under way, led by nonprofit enterprises including Central City Renaissance Alliance, Gulf Coast Housing Partnership, Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative, Neighborhood Development Foundation, Neighborhood Housing Services, and the New Orleans Neighborhood Development Collaborative.
Add to their efforts the complete overhaul of former public housing complexes into mixed-income communities, and there's no question about it: It's a brand new day in Central City.
THE BLOCK: The 2400 block of Sixth Street, on the odd-numbered, or east, side of the street, between Freret Street on the north and LaSalle Street on the south.
The block is situated in Harmony Oaks, a sparkling new mixed-income neighborhood that replaces the C.J. Peete (formerly Magnolia) public housing complex.
Just a couple of blocks away is A.L. Davis (formerly Shakespeare) Park, an established gathering place for Central City's Mardi Gras Indians, brass bands and social aid and pleasure clubs.
THE HOUSES: A cheery array of new homes, all of which appear to be two-story townhouses, but rendered with varied details to yield a pleasing streetscape.
Like their counterparts in every other neighborhood, Central City residents are readying for the holidays.
Dec. 11, there's the Central City Renaissance Alliance fundraising tour, "Home for the Holly Days," and a house-to-house caroling event sponsored by the Faubourg Delassize neighborhood group (see information below).
As I navigate the streets, I see that many doors already wear holiday wreaths, and I spot a family installing lighted candy-cane stakes along the path from the sidewalk to their porch.
I decide to take a closer look. I land in Harmony Oaks on Sixth Street.
Anatomy of the block
I start my walk with a few general observations about the buildings on the block and their environs.
From what I can tell, I'm looking at just four buildings, but it looks like twice as many because of variations in the porches, the heights of the rooflines, and the entry overhangs.
What could have looked blocky looks interesting instead, because of the care that was taken to differentiate the facades.
Another thought: All of the houses on this block are sheathed in the same material -- Hardiplank, most likely -- but I spot structures in brick elsewhere in the new neighborhood. Here, color is used to set one residential unit apart from the others, but materials vary, too, just around the corner.
My third thought: What a difference landscaping makes! I spot trees planted in the strip between the sidewalk and the street and garden beds close to the buildings, additions that soften the "newness" of the site. I can't wait to see how the greenery has filled in a few years from now.
On with the walk! The house form I encounter at the corner of Sixth and Freret is a gable-fronted shape with a balcony and festive red shutters.
I don't see a door, so I hunt for one and find it around the corner -- I am looking at the side of a building that faces Freret. Yet because of its scale and color, it works perfectly with the three units attached to it that face Sixth.
Each of those three is a little different: Two have arched entry overhangs, but the third has a second-floor balcony that shelters the opening and balances nicely with the balcony at the corner, where I started.
The second of the four buildings appears to have four units in it: one on each end and two in the middle, columned portion.
The units on each end resemble individual houses, with four openings across the front and the same barrel-vaulted entry canopy I saw earlier.
They flank the central portion of the building, with its slightly higher roof line and galleries across both the first and second floors.
The symmetrical composition, borrowing from classical design, conveys stability and order, while the variations in details and rooflines add dynamic individuality.
A freestanding double townhouse, painted an eye-catching coral, comes next. Its roofline features dormers that add a vertical accent. I also note that the entry canopies here are front-gabled, rather than barrel-vaulted as I saw earlier on the block.
A handsomely proportioned version of a Colonial Revival house completes the block. Its design is based on the wildly popular houses of the early 20th century and captures perfectly the look.
The facade is symmetrical with a central entry, the roof has side gables, the entry portico is prominent and supported by rounded columns, and there are paneled shutters flanking the windows.
Houses like this one can be found in almost every New Orleans neighborhood, whether replacing an older house or having been built in the early 20th century, and are a familiar and beloved sight.
Life on street
As I arrive in the 2400 block of Sixth Street, Miss Venus, who prefers I don't use her last name, is arriving home with groceries. I find out quickly that her ex-husband has been kind enough to give her and her friend a ride to the store and back.
An ex-husband so generous?
"We got to all get along, that's all there is to it," she says.
Like one of her neighbors a door or two down, Venus has lived in her new digs on Sixth Street no more than seven days. But that doesn't mean it doesn't feel like home.
"I lived here before, when it was C.J. Peete," she says.
In fact, Venus and her family have lived in a lot of places since Hurricane Katrina drove them away. They've lived in Houston and even landed in Missouri for a while.
But Venus always wanted to come home; her mother just moved back to town too.
"She was getting homesick in Houston, so I told her to come on back," Venus says. Her mother now lives in an old house across from A.L. Davis Park, just a few hundred feet from where Venus is living in her brand-new home.
Though I still have more questions for Venus, she politely begs off.
"I gotta put those groceries away and get cooking," she says. "I like my kids to get a hot meal when they get home from school."
Central City Renaissance Alliance "Home for the Holly Days" fundraiser and tour is Dec. 11, 4:30-7:30. Tickets: $50 per person. Includes cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at the New Orleans Culinary Institute, 1519 Carondelet St., and a tour of homes built by Central City housing nonprofit groups. Information: 504.581.5301 or email@example.com
Faubourg Delassize caroling is Dec. 11, 6-8. Carolers will collect canned goods and personal hygiene items for the New Orleans Mission. Information: Michael Robinson, 504.427.9264.

LinkedIn Predictions For 2013 – Give Us More Industries On The Profile!!
2 Jan 2013 | 1 Comment | posted by Resume Writing | in LinkedIn
As 2012 turns into 2013, it's no secret that LinkedIn sits across the Job Search world like a colossus.
CareerBuilder and Monster might have more job listings per se, but LinkedIn is the number one place for professionals to go to take control of their career and manage their job search.
But what does the future hold for LinkedIn? After all, the job search world can ebb and flow, and the "monster" job site this year might be an also ran before you even know it.
Just ask HotJobs.
Over at the Linked Into Business blog, they decided to survey LinkedIn experts to see what sort of changes LinkedIn might (and maybe should) make for users in 2013.
Many thought that introducing tools to make LinkedIn connections in the real world might help:
Nate Kievman:
"…we will see enhancements to the Company pages supporting features like events, private targeted communications and advertisements – not necessarily free though!"
"I would like to see LinkedIn create an event app that allows us to invite colleagues to it.This would be quite helpful for professional networking by linking the cyber world w/ the face-to-face world."
Give Us The Ability To Select More Than One Industry, PLEASE!
In a follow up post, Portugese LinkedIn evangelist Rui Pedro Caramez of @LinkedPortugal had a comprehensive list of 15 LinkedIn features he'd like to see in 2013.
On the list? Better analytics. Better LinkedIn Groups UI so that busy groups don't grow unwieldy. World rankings for skills. CRM tools. And he wants a new Events tool also.
But what I thought was the most screamingly obvious (read: neccessary) new feature was the first one he listed:
The ability to choose at least 2 industries on the profile. In several training programs held over the year, this was on of the problems pointed out. More concerns to job seekers.
Viveka Von Rosen commented:
Pedro is right on with this. Also, I sure would like an "other" option. While industries is getting better, its certainly not comprehensive! In the meantime, you can always list a different industry for each experience section.
And we wholeheartedly concur!

Last month, a group of Staten Islanders attended a performance of DEAR HARVEY. The show salutes the courage and bravery of gay icon, Harvey Milk. Mostly known for his work with the California gay community he was born and raised on Long Island. After serving in the Navy and a career on Wall Street, Harvey moved to San Francisco in 1972. His gay activism there won him the title of the Mayor of Castro Street, the hub of the gay community.
DEAR HARVEY chronicles his career and his effect on people. Seven actors very effectively play various people in Harvey's life. What Harvey gave most to the San Francisco gay and lesbian community was "hope." A beautiful and moving tribute to Harvey Milk, the emotional production even forced a few tears from the audience.
On Staten Island we were treated to a preview of the show when Staten Island Pride Events did a reading of DEAR HARVEY on May 22, which would have been his 80th birthday. At the Manhattan showing we were able to meet the author Patricia Loughrey and got to ask her question and offer suggestions. Thomas Hodges, the young music director also joined us at the reception afterwards.
Hopefully DEAR HARVEY will someday find a home at an off-Broadway theater so we can see it again. It is part of gay history and we encourage anyone who missed it to see this story of a gay hero who instilled hope in San Francisco's LGBT community. That hope now extends to every city in America.

Spartans prove impressive at state gymnastics championships
Timing is everything, they say, and in gymnastics, it's no exception.
The Bainbridge Spartans turned in solid performances at the 2013/2014 2A/3A Gymnastics State Championships, and Sarah Rice again medaled for BHS.
Rice claimed seventh place on the beam for Bainbridge with a score of 8.800. A junior, it was Rice's third trip to the state championships and yet another year of finishing in the top 10.
Spartan Coach Cindy Guy said all four Spartans who went to state — Rice, Miller Shor, Juliana Hinkley and Mila Lesh — performed well.
"I was thrilled how all the girls did at state. They worked so hard," Guy said.
"One of our goals has always been to peak at the post-season. We were really pleased that all the hard work paid off," she said.
The state championships came during a week away from school for the Spartan athletes, as their midwinter break coincided with the week leading up to the gymnastics championships at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall on Feb. 21-22.
"They worked so hard all vacation," the coach said of her athletes. "They were totally ready."
In first-day all around results, Rice and Shor placed 18th and 37th respectively.
Rice scored 35.100, and Shor, 33.275.
Alexis Lawrence of Kamiakin placed first with 38.300.
In bars, Rice scored 8.150 and found herself in a three-way tie for 26th place with Amara Poquette of Mount Spokane and Hannah Walsh of Bellevue.
Shor tied at 53rd for the Spartans with Macy Cunningham of Holy Names after both finished with a mark of 7.075.
BHS' Hinkley was 69th with a score of 6.775.
Kamiakin's Lawrence won the event with a score of 9.500.
On beam, Rice scored 9.125 on the first day of the championships and found herself in 11th place.
Shor was 25th with 8.700.
Danielle Brandon of Kamiakin had the best first day score on the beam, 9.575.
In the floor exercise, Rice shared 19th place honors with Ellie Winstead of Kamiakin with a score of 9.300.
Shor finished at 59th with an 8.800, along with Christy Craigo (Kamiakin), Brianna Reisinger (Enumclaw), Brooklyn Popp, (Holy Names) and Sierra Hayden (Columbia River).
Kamiakin's Lawrence was first in the event with a score of 9.725.
"The competition was unbelievable this year," Guy said. She noted that it wasn't a surprise, given what the Spartans had endured during district competition.
"We saw it coming out of KingCo schools that it was going to be tough," she said, adding that Enumclaw and Kamiakin were packed with lots of Level 9 and Level 10 talent. "We knew they were good."
In the first day of vault, Lawrence again put Kamiakin in first with a top-spot effort of 9.675.
Shor tied at 20th place with Megan Clark of Mountain View and a score of 8.700.
Rice finished at 26th for the Spartans (8.525) and Lesh placed 89th and tied with Brienne Palmer of North Kitsap (7.650).
Guy noted that Rice and Shor both put a lot of effort into their floor routines, and their scores reflected it, though they paid a price for their early appearances in the first session of the competition.
Rice's 9.3 score was really high, Guy said, but floor scores also rose higher as the day progressed.
Still, there were other highlights for Bainbridge.
"Juliana [Hinkley] hit her bar routine and Miller [Shor] did a great vault. Sarah and Miller stayed on the beam," Guy said.
"They both had shaky beams at district," Guy said of Rice and Shor. "It was great to see them finish the season with a positive, clean routine and make all the skills they were supposed to," she said.
Rice said she felt really good about her second-day performance on beam.
"It was definitely the best I've ever done on beam," she said.
"It felt really good to have a really good beam routine," Rice added, recalling her long wait to compete during the first session on Friday that left her "a little shaky."
"We warmed up around 10 o'clock and I didn't compete until 1. I was the fourth-to-last person to go," she said. "It was pretty nerve-wracking."
Rice said she hopes to return to state next year with her team. Another goal: to compete in all four events.
"I've never done that, so that's a big goal of mine," she said.
For Hinkley, also a junior at BHS, it was her first trip to the state championships.
"We did really well. We've been working really hard the past week before state, every day of practice. It paid off," she said.
Hinkley said the entire experience, from the team's overnight stay at a hotel in Tacoma to watching fellow Spartan Rice compete in the finals, was a thrill.
"It was just a really fun opportunity, just to be able to compete at the Tacoma Dome and to be with my teammates. It was a good team-bonding thing to go," Hinkley added. "It was awesome."
There was a bit of nervousness involved, she admitted.
"It was pretty intimidating for some of it, because there were some Level 10 gymnasts who were really good, and they were throwing really hard tricks," Hinkley said.
Hinkley said she tried hard to maintain her focus during her bars routine.
"The hardest part was trying to remember everything you needed to do to make a perfect routine," she said.
"Point your toes, point your toes."
Hinkley said she hopes to improve over the next season and make a return trip to Tacoma.
"I saw some skills and said, 'I need to have that,'" she added.
Guy said her team is already talking about a return trip to Tacoma.
"I know they are going to work hard in the off-season. The girls are really motivated for next year and they want to go as a team and compete for a trophy," Guy said.
Getting back as a team would repeat the Spartans' success from two years ago, when Rice and Shor were freshmen and Bainbridge placed third at state as a squad.
"They know what it's like to get a trophy," Guy said.
Kamiakin won the team title with top scores in bars (44.500), floor (47.375) and vault (45.475) and a total team score of 181.700. Last year's state champions, Enumclaw, finished second with 178.425.

Despite it's rust belt reputation and rich history of manufacturing, Milwaukee hosts a surprisingly rich and diverse arts community. From our world-class Art Museum with it's Santiago Calatrava-designed galleries to the diverse storefront galleries that dot neighborhoods throughout the city, there's always something interesting to see. More importantly, there's always something new and exciting to inspire the working artist.
Thanks in part to the "Percent for Art" program, public construction projects include a set-aside for public art, and in virtually every neighborhood you can find public art. Sometimes a sculpture in a park, sometimes reliefs set into the sidewalk; they range from the obvious to the more subtle pieces that blend into the surroundings, their functionality hearkening back to the central European pragmatism that shaped the early years of the city.
One of the more interesting on the latter group can be found just off of Brady Street, where the Holton Street Bridge crosses above N. Water St. In order to better connect Commerce Street's new condo developments with more established areas of the city, a marsupial bridge was installed underneath the Holton Street Bridge. On the Water Street side of the bridge, the Marsupial Bridge Media Garden was constructed. An interesting feature of the park is the concrete benches, each with built in-lighting that illuminates the park at night. The benches were designed by local lighting designer Noele Stollmack. The plaza has become a gathering place for skaters, and in the summer, there's a good chance that there's a film screening most weekend nights. Some are organized, some are impromptu, but all are well attended. During the summer of 2012, a group of tradesmen from the area volunteered their time and services to install tire swings that hang from the bridge. Apart from meetings with the city to review safety requirements, it was pretty much a guerrilla operation. One morning we woke up, and there were the swings. Some are singles, some are bench swings, but they're all made of reclaimed materials, with time and services donated.
This endeavor typifies what you'll see from the Milwaukee arts community: People working independently to create a greater whole for everyone. There's a great sense of community, of camaraderie, and of course, creativity. A lot of it is hidden and you'll have to look for it, but the hunt is so rewarding.

Pike opportunities plentiful
North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel, along with staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fish hatcheries, recently stocked 2.3 million pike fingerlings in 69 lakes and rivers across the state.
Jerry Weigel, fisheries production and development section leader for the Game and Fish Department, said this year's goal was to stock 2 million fingerlings, not as many as in recent years due to the incredible success pike have had the last several years.
"These were some of the largest pike fingerlings we have ever shipped, given they were only 30 days old," Weigel said. "Stocking conditions were great, with lots of cool water and their favorite food with the large midge hatch that was present all spring."
In addition to these stocking efforts, Weigel said there is good potential for natural reproduction of pike in many of the shallow lakes across the state.
The daily limit of northern pike has increased from three to five in most of North Dakota's water bodies. The increase is due to the record number of pike fishing lakes in the state, Weigel said, and many with record pike populations.
"Wet conditions during the last 10-15 years, and an aggressive stocking program, is the main reason for the many pike fishing opportunities in the state," Weigel added. "We encourage anglers to give pike fishing a try before waters warm and fishing slows."
Anglers need current license
North Dakota anglers are reminded to have a current license in possession while fishing state waters. The 2012-13 fishing license is effective April 1, 2012, through March 31, 2013. Anglers fishing without a current license are subject to a fine. In addition, anglers are reminded this is the first year of a new two-year fishing proclamation. Refer to the 2012-14 North Dakota Fishing Guide for regulations.
Resident and nonresident fishing licenses can be purchased online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, (gf.nd.gov).

UMass-Amherst officials did the smart thing when they hired former Senate staffer Christopher L. Dunn Jr. to serve as the university's first director of public and constituent services.
Dunn, who will be based in Boston, will seek to boost the Amherst campus' funding and political strength, and the university needs both to raise its standing and its ability to serve the commonwealth.
That should also be the priority of the committee that will recommend a replacement for University of Massachusetts President Jack M. Wilson, who will retire in June 2011.
The university system must continue building on the progress made in recent years. In tough economic times, the university needs political clout and a president who will demonstrate to the Legislature that there is no better investment for Massachusetts than public higher education.
And while the committee has launched a nationwide search for Wilson's replacement, they might want to look a little closer to home - say Lowell, for example.
Today, the school is a national research institute with more than 12,000 students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in 120 programs.
Meehan has used his understanding of higher education and the political system to make things happen in Lowell. Perhaps it's time to bring his talents to the entire university.
The challenge and opportunity are already clear. Tuition at private universities and colleges continues to skyrocket, and more and more state residents are choosing to attend the University of Massachusetts. They should not have to sit back and watch as schools like Harvard and MIT get the headlines.
Massachusetts needs its own public Harvard. Other states do it: The universities of Michigan, Wisconsin and California are all world-class institutions. The University of Massachusetts should be at the top of the list.
Politically, the potential is there. More than 20 graduates of the University of Massachusetts serve in the state House of Representatives. It should not be too hard to persuade them to fight harder for the university and for the terrific students from Massachusetts who will never attend Harvard or MIT. They just need a leader who will help bring greatness to UMass. And that person might very well already be working in the UMass system.

We'll all remember where we were the day we got the news that Hot Doug's was closing up shop. In turn, October 3rd, 2014 will be a similarly harrowing occasion: Chicago flags will fly at half-mast, everyone will pour out a little mustard, and there shall forever be a sausage-shaped hole left in the heart of the city. In an effort to avoid this dystopian, Doug's-less future, we've struck up an open letter to owner Doug Sohn, gracefully begging him not close down his encased meat emporium.
Dear Doug,
We heard the news that you're planning to shut down Hot Doug's, and needless to say, we're not taking it well. It's been a whirlwind of emotions, and we're having trouble holding it together (much like your graciously packed Chicago Dog).
Before we roll around on battling nitrate withdrawals, we beg of you: please don't close.

Fat cats, robotic love... Looking for a way to get through Hump Day? A round-up of some time-wasting news items, below:
• Robots are super cool. Can't wait for "Wall-E" to open next week. However, I think this could be taking the android obsession a tad too far. It's a futuristic twist on "Lars and the Real Girl" and every bit as troubling.
• Does your cat look like it sucked on the end of a tire pump? Rachael Ray -- she of the controversial scarf -- tackled another area of controversy; the plight of overweight pets in America. Not only are we obese, but we're making our pets obese, too.
I have to admit, as someone who shares a domestic space with a food-obsessed but healthy 14-pound, cat -- one that is always hungry and has not eaten, he swears -- it's really easy to give in to the whining. But one look at that poor, waddling orange-and-white guy in the video, has cemented my resolve.
• Oh dear. Nicole Richie is coming out with a line of jewelry and accessories, named for her daughter, Harlow. At some point, she'll start designing "adult clothes for children." Wait, you mean like what they used to do to kids in Victorian times?
• This will not be in my "summer beauty" guide.
• And you thought the dress code at your local country club was strict. Check out the rules for this royal British affair.
• Having a bad day? You're welcome.

We are a McDonald's/microwave/Headline News/social media society. Most people do not seek out the news in context at all. They read the attention-getting headlines and read no further. They form opinions based on headlines or sound bites. What is the responsibility, not the mission, of the journalist in today's society?
I agree with Donald Gregory's letter "TV options dwindling" in the July 21 paper. The media have too much power to create and to destroy. Old reruns on television and reading books are becoming more appealing.

NRA Wrong About Manchin
Politicians generally come in two types: those who believe they are doing something right if they have kept all sides happy and those who believe they are doing something right if they have made all sides angry. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., seems to have found himself in the latter category on gun control. Some liberals don't think the position he supports is restrictive enough.
On the other hand, the National Rifle Association is attacking him for the effort he and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., have put forth to prevent criminals and the seriously mentally ill from buying firearms.
Back in June, of course, gun-control advocates were worried about Manchin – believing he planned to do a bait and switch by changing the proposed measure in order to make it more palatable to those who voted against it in the first go-round.
An NRA mail campaign aimed at hundreds of thousands of West Virginians complains Manchin changed his stance on background checks after the Sandy Hook massacre last year. In fact, most intelligent Americans were inspired by that tragedy to examine their own opinions and give careful thought to the potential for conflict between public safety and our Second Amendment rights.
In its letter, the NRA also highlights the argument that expanding the background check system is a gateway to a national gun registry. Manchin and Toomey, however, made sure their proposal expanded an existing ban of any such registry.
It may be months before the Senate finds itself taking another look at the proposal.
In the meantime, Toomey has not found himself in the NRA's sights, despite being an equal participant in supporting the measure. It is puzzling the gun owners advocate group is treating him differently.
Lumping Manchin into the same category as President Barack Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg or Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is a dishonest cheap shot by the NRA, and leads to questions about its political motivation.

Yes, we used to have pages for the voice actors up until a while ago. Basically, we decided to outsource them to Wikipedia because there were too many to take care of. There were over 100 voice actor pages and at least twenty more that hadn't been made yet. Rather than bust our backs researching and updating, we decided it would be best to link them to Wikipedia, who keep their individual pages much more well updated that we did. Also, a lot of the pages were stubs and not all that well made. It was easier to externalize them rather than try to keep all of them up to date.DancePowderer Talk 17:01, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
Well, no problem but I think I've tagged most of them for deletion (by template
{{Delete}}), I think, since I don't see how we can use them, or rather they are good picture bu we have probably something similar. The admins will evaluate if they can be used or not. Meanwhile, read this guide, we will appreciate if you can provide the source (chapter/episode) of the images you upload, add the licenses (
{{Fairuse}} for manga and
{{Screenshot}} for the anime) and the right categories. Check similar images to see some examples, anyway someone will check them later. leviathan_89 18:00, 19 October, 2011 (UTC)
No problems, it's more interesting the episode itself rather than the video/file/fansub group where you taken it from, since this way everybody can try to reupload a different or better version of it easily. leviathan_89 18:06, 19 October, 2011 (UTC)
Wait, you can upload images if you know where use them or you can always update the existing ones, like those in Category:Low Quality Images. If you don't know the source, don't add it simply as that or you can add the template
{{No Source}}. leviathan_89 19:00, 19 October, 2011 (UTC)

Fan voting has kicked off for the 2012 Zydeco Music Awards, which will be presented January 12 in a ceremony at the Heymann Arts Center in Lafayette. At the event, Nathan Williams, Sr., will be presented with a lifetime achievement award, and the late legends Beau Jocque and Amede Ardoin will be honored. However, the awards are mostly about the young lions making a name for themselves on the scene, and as such, a look at the list of potential winners is a fine introduction to the newest wave of zydeco innovators.
Zydeco began as a hybrid anyway, combining rural Creole music with urban blues and R&B. It'd make sense, then, that 21st-century practitioners would contribute their own influences; lots of the nominees record songs that infuse standard accordion and washboard numbers with elements of hip-hop and R&B. (One category at the ZMAs is "Best Zydeco Crunk Song.") Go to the ceremony if you want to see American roots music evolve before your eyes – or just if you want to see what zydeco swag looks like.

Selective effects of acute exercise and breakfast interventions on mood and motivation to eat
LLUCH, A, HUBERT, P, KING, N, & BLUNDELL, J (2000) Selective effects of acute exercise and breakfast interventions on mood and motivation to eat. Physiology & Behavior, 68(4), p. 515.
The effects of exercise and breakfast manipulations on mood and motivation to eat were assessed in 11 healthy females who were regular exercisers and habitual breakfast eaters. The study involved a two by two repeated-measures design, with exercise (or no exercise) and a high-energy breakfast (or low-energy breakfast) as the repeated measures. The exercise or no-exercise session (0800 h) was followed by consumption of the low- or high-energy breakfast (0900 h). An ad libitum lunch test meal was provided 4 hours after the beginning of the exercise session (1200 h). Mood and motivation to eat were continuously tracked from 0800 until 1700 h by an electronic appetite ratings system (EARS). In general, morning subjective mood states (e.g., contentment) were significantly lower in the low-energy breakfast condition, but exercise reversed this effect. Exercise also significantly decreased feelings of lethargy, independent of the breakfast condition. Desire-to-eat and fullness ratings were significantly increased in the low-energy breakfast and high-energy breakfast conditions, respectively. Impairments of mood disappeared in the afternoon after consumption of an ad libitum lunch. In these healthy young adults, the condition inducing the largest energy deficit (exercise and low-energy breakfast) was not associated with the lowest mental states.

Think about it. In a four-hour span Tuesday night, a lot of very important things happened in the National League pennant races. Johan Santana pitched, hit and ran the Mets to a victory. The Phillies lost. The Brewers blew about a dozen different leads but won on a last-pitch home run. Standings and magic numbers shifted. And then everybody had 20 hours to do nothing but think, talk and theorize about what it all meant.
The chatter at Shea Wednesday was about the weather, and what impact it might have on the weekend schedule. It was about the rotation -- should Santana pitch on short rest Saturday? Should he pitch Sunday if the Mets have clinched a playoff berth but not the division? Chatter, theory and speculation, all born of nerves and between-games anxiety.
Anxiety is big at Shea these days. If they had anxiety detectors at the gates, nobody'd get in but the Cubs fans. Mets fans spend the day gnawing fingernails and waiting for the next game to start so they can catch the next plot twist, hoping it's a good one, fearing it's not.
So when interim manager Jerry Manuel says the reason Luis Castillo wasn't playing second base last night was "the atmosphere," he didn't have to explain what he meant.
Castillo gets his tail booed off every time he flinches on the Shea Stadium field these days. It's as if the fans have concentrated all of their anger and frustration about last year -- and the potential that this year will end the same way -- and are firing it at Castillo. In some ways, that seems odd. After all, Castillo played brilliantly for the Mets during last year's collapse, even as his legs were clearly shot. There were people responsible for last September, but Castillo is not among them. For him to suffer such scorn is in some ways unjust.
But in other ways, it's understandable. Castillo represents a terrible offseason decision by the Mets (awarding a four-year contract to a light-hitting second baseman with wrecked knees). He represents the on-field malaise of the early part of the season. Every called third strike he takes, every double-play grounder he hits reminds the fans of their team's myriad flaws, and the work they still have to do before securing a playoff berth that should have come so much more easily.
"I just think that's a part of where we are and the situation that we're in," Manuel said. "Because of who we are, there is some frustration with us. And that's understandable."
What's amazing is the idea that the negativity still left over from a year ago is such a part of life here that it can impact a lineup decision. Manuel said it could only impact a lineup decision with someone like Castillo, for whom he feels he has at least a somewhat comparable replacement in Argenis Reyes, but still. This example illustrates what September 2007 still means and why it factors into every move Manuel makes over the final handful of games left in the 2008 season.
It's to Manuel's credit that he's chosen to embrace it as a real and present thing rather than ignore it and pretend it has no effect. He has said repeatedly that it doesn't affect anything once the game begins, and that's certainly believable. The game moves too quickly for those involved to allow outside influences to direct any part of it.
But this time of year, things move very slowly between games, and that's where Manuel's dexterity shows itself. He doesn't pretend these aren't tense times. When you ask him about Santana pitching on short rest, he doesn't give you time-worn lines about how the ace is whoever's pitching that night's game. He says he won't ask more of Santana now because he's already given so much, but then he smiles.
"Unless he comes in and asks to do it," Manuel said. "He'd really have to do a job on me to get that, but that's possible too. I can be had. Guy's making $137 million, I can be had."
The facts are what they are. The lead has shriveled. The margin for error is gone. The bullpen is unreliable. The rotation is thin at the back and Santana means everything. Last year matters because they haven't yet atoned for it. Manuel doesn't deny the tension that results from this teetering pile of troubling news -- he manages it. And if he keeps doing that as well as he has so far, he and the Mets could find themselves in the playoffs in six days feeling something they haven't felt in quite some time.

Caring Hearts animal adoption kicks off
There's a new group in the area dedicated to caring for animals and finding them loving, permanent homes.
The Caring Hearts Pet Goods Pantry provides foster homes for all sorts of animals, from kittens to dogs, horses to lizards - even llamas won't get turned away (one is currently being fostered now). But the group's end goal is to find a good family for every creature it takes in.
Caring Hearts is an unincorporated association newly created by five local women: Nancy Stokes and Bernice Niemela of Perham, Judy Gunderson and Jackie Buchta of the Frazee area, and Judy Shackleford, a summer resident who is currently living in Deephaven, Minn.
The group plans to hold a Pet Goods Pantry event on the last Saturday of every month, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at All Creatures Veterinary Hospital in Perham. The Pantry will be an opportunity for community members to share their surplus pet foods and supplies with each other and with Caring Hearts.
The idea of the monthly Pantry is two-fold: to generate donations for Caring Hearts, and to provide animal owners in need with the food, vet care and supplies required to properly care for their animals.
It's all about ensuring every animal in the area is cared for humanely - something that, unfortunately, isn't always happening right now.
In an interview with Stokes, Gunderson and Buchta, the women described some of the dark things they've seen in their volunteer work. The horror stories range from finding boxes of sick and abandoned kittens to kids shooting firecrackers off in a dog's mouth.
Stokes said she's heard of newborn kittens being used as live bait for musky fishing, and has known people to drill holes into the shells of live turtles. Gunderson, who 'specializes' in fostering farm animals, has taken in horses that people have left alone to starve. And Buchta, who fosters a lot of puppies and dogs, has had many owners tell her that the animals would have been put down, or shot, had she not taken them in.
Every new example of animal neglect, abuse and cruelty, they say, only gives them renewed energy to keep doing what they do.
"There are times when we're so tired and so overwhelmed with grief and compassion, that we're willing to do this, because nobody else will," said Stokes, with tears in her eyes. "I think it's a drive. I'm driven."
Added Buchta: "It's a passion."
Thanks to the work of Caring Hearts, there are happy endings for many of these horror stories. For all of the cruelty the women have seen, they've also witnessed, time and time again, the joy and affection in people's eyes as they take their newly adopted pets home.
It also warms their hearts to know that, "the animals are going to a better place," said Stokes.
The three women met while working and volunteering at Lucky Dog Boarding and Training Center in Detroit Lakes. They decided to go their own way a couple of years ago, and have been fostering animals ever since. When they decided to make a formal group out of it, Niemela and Schackleford came on board.
It keeps them plenty busy. At any given time, they're each fostering anywhere from a few to more than a dozen animals (with especially high numbers of cats). There's a constant 'revolving door' of animals - they're found, fostered and then adopted out to good homes, as quickly as possible. Then there are supplies to pick up, and animals to be delivered to their new homes - sometimes as far away as Fargo, ND.
Caring Hearts finds the animals in various ways - through inquiries to ads and bulletin board flyers, from local vets, and through word of mouth. Sometimes, the animals are dropped off at their doorsteps.
The group also works with area humane societies and a group out of Pelican Rapids called Friends of the Feral Cat. One of the reasons Caring Hearts is so needed in the Perham area, the women said, is due to the lack of animal shelters nearby.
Often, the animals Caring Hearts takes in are sick and/or need to be spayed or neutered. The women see to it that the animals are well taken care of - and they usually pay for it out of their own pockets.
"We have very, very understanding and very good husbands, to put up with us," laughed Buchta.
Once an animal is in good health, Caring Hearts seeks out permanent homes through word of mouth and the internet. Those looking to adopt must pass a full application and questioning process. A $50 free will donation is requested, but not required, from anyone who is approved and takes home an animal.
The group is looking for committed volunteers to foster animals, transport animals and haul supplies. They're also accepting donations - of money, pet food and supplies. There's a specific need right now for something that could be used to store food, such as an old garden shed, fish house or covered trailer.
"We want to let people know that there's a huge problem out there," said Stokes. "And the community needs to come together to stop it from getting worse."
To get involved or make a donation, call 218-346-4883 or email email@example.com.

Framed by green hills and white limestone cliffs TRIESTE looks out over the blue Adriatic, offering an idyllic panorama from its hilltop citadel, at least when the gale-force Bora winds aren't blasting you off the seafront. But in any weather, there's a distinct atmosphere of grandeur with a cosmopolitan twist. The city's main squares are adorned with spectacular Neoclassical buildings, and the much-photographed canal, clustered with open-air cafés, is a reminder that, just like Venice and its lagoon, this city has enjoyed a glorious seafaring past, too. Like so many ports in Europe, there is a certain seediness here, particularly evident in some areas around the train station, although in recent years the city has been spruced up. The heart of modern Trieste is in the grid-like streets of the Borgo Teresiano, but no visit would be complete without a climb to the top of its hill, San Giusto, named for its patron saint and with the best views for miles around.
The thirty-odd kilometres of coastline either side of Trieste, from Muggia to the south and as far as Duino in the north, are optimistically known as the TRIESTINE RIVIERA. While beaches aren't as good as you'll find further down the Adriatic, or even at nearby Grado, some fine walks, historic sites and castles are worth a day-trip from Trieste.
Brief history
Trieste dates back as far as the third millennium BC, with Jason and the Argonauts alleged to have been among its earliest visitors. Roman ruins scattered around the city attest to its incorporation into the Roman Republic in 178 BC, when it was called Tergeste, from terg or market. However, with the exception of the castle and cathedral of San Giusto, and the tiny medieval quarter below it, the city's whole pre-nineteenth-century history seems somewhat overwhelmed by the massive Neoclassical architecture of the Borgo Teresiano – named after the Empress Maria Theresa (1740–80), who poured money into the city. This was Trieste's golden age, as the Austrians spared no expense on embellishing what was to become the Habsburg Empire's only seaport. For a time, it even eclipsed Venice, but its heyday was short-lived and drew to an ignominious close after 1918, when the city was annexed to Italy. A grim period ensued under Mussolini as he rode roughshod over ethnic diversity.
Lying on the political and ethnic fault-line between the Latin and Slavic worlds, Trieste has long been a city of political turbulence. In the nineteenth century it was a hotbed of irredentismo – an Italian nationalist movement to "redeem" the Austrian lands of Trieste, Istria and Trentino. After 1918, tensions increased between the city's ethnic groups, with Slovenes suffering persecution at the hands of the rising Fascist regime. Trieste was annexed by the Germans in 1943 and then at the end of the war, the city and surrounding area became a "Free Territory" administered by the Allies before being divided between Italy and Yugoslavia in 1954. Trieste was awarded to Italy but lost its coastal hinterland, Istria, to Yugoslavia. It was a bitter settlement and the definitive border settlement was not reached until 1975. As Tito kept Istria, huge numbers of its fearful Italian population abandoned the peninsula: Fiume (Rijeka), for example, lost 58,000 of its 60,000 Italians. The Slovene population of the area around Trieste, previously in the majority, suddenly found itself treated as second-class citizens, with Italians dominant politically and culturally. In the last sixty years, the Slovene and Italian populations have mixed and intermarried and, along with other newer arrivals, have made Trieste one of the more multicultural cities in Italy.

NEW YORK – The prizes they were playing for, because of time constraints, were standard boardwalk arcade items. Stuffed animals, candy, inflatable toys, miniature footballs.
But put a group of competitive people in a setting like Dave and Busters in mid-town Manhattan, as Rutgers did Saturday night on the final football recruiting weekend of the season, and the intensity gets ratcheted up well beyond the value of the prizes.
That's why Nick Arcidiacono, a defensive line prospect from Pennsylvania who has already committed to play for the Scarlet Knights, was working one of the hundreds of arcade games furiously, imploring the machine to continue to spit out tickets.
Those tickets can be redeemed for prizes in the Winner's Circle, a small shop filled with items ranging from candy to electronics.
For all of his efforts during a nearly two-hour stay, Arcidiacono wound up getting an inflatable shark head float designed for a kiddie swimming pool.
"Your competitive side takes over in a place like this. It really doesn't matter what you're playing for," said junior linebacker Kevin Snyder, one of 11 host players for the 11 recruits taking their official visit with Rutgers this weekend.
That aspect of recruiting now screeches to a halt with national letter of intent signing day on Wednesday.
But for the final weekend that official visits were permitted, Rutgers coach Kyle Flood and his staff were able to put on one last splash with a day in New York City for 11 recruits and their families.
Six of those recruits -- T.J. Taylor of South Brunswick, Arcidiacono, Eric Wiafe of Egg Harbor Township, Justin Goodwin of Madison, Bryant Gross of Plantation, Fla. and Josh Klecko of Red Bank – had already given Rutgers verbal pledges. All are expected to make their commitments official on Wednesday.
But for others, like defensive end Ade Aruna of LaPorte, Ind. it was a chance just to make sure – he has committed to Tulane – and, of course, to see the Big Apple.
"For the guys who have never seen New York City it's a big deal," senior tight end Paul Carrezola said. "You get to do that and you get to have some fun."
While the players explored Dave and Busters, with a full buffet set up for them and replays of the Arkansas-Rutgers game scattered throughout the restaurant and arcade area, Flood dined with the recruits' families at the nearby Capital Grille.
In addition to one host (a current player) for every recruit, tight ends coach Darnell Dinkins, director of football recruiting Tariq Ahmad, strength and conditioning coaches Jeremy Cole and Eddie Grayer and all four graduate assistant coaches kept tabs on the recruits and host players at Dave and Busters.
But once each player purchased his own game playing card – required by NCAA rules – they basically had the run of the place.
"It's a lot of fun," said Snyder. "But for the most part guys don't play a lot of the arcade ticket games. They like the basketball shooting, the (marksman) shooting games, the things you don't get tickets for."
But not everyone. Sophomore wide receiver Leonte Carroo "won" a stuffed animal for his sister and a couple of inflatable footballs. Carrezola walked out with a banana phone.
Before Dave and Busters, the players were treated to a tour of Times Square, one of the highlights of a weekend that includes a visiting the campus and the facilities and academic interviews on Friday.
"Mostly guys want to know what it's like. How are the practices? What are the workouts like? How is the conditioning program?" said Snyder. "You tell them straight up: It's difficult but it's fun. And it's worth it."

Apache Celix Shell
The Shell subproject contains a set of commands and a shell to interact with the Framework and its registry. With several commando's it is possible to query the Framework registry and Log Service, inspect existing bundles/services, start/stop/update bundles and install/uninstall bundles.
The Shell does not provide a user interface, but only a service to interact with. This approach makes it possible to define multiple frontends, eg textual or graphical.
The Celix Shell follows the Apache Felix Shell implementation (not the Apache Felix Gogo shell).
To build the Shell the CMake build option "BUILD_SHELL" has to be enabled.
The Shell depends on the following subprojects:
- Framework
- Utils
- Log Service
Also the following libraries are required for building and/or using the Shell subproject:
- Apache Portable Runtime (build and runtime)
- cURL (build and runtime)

The Year's Easiest Halloween Decorating Idea
For this year's Halloween party, brew up some tabletop fun: Spray-paint plastic trick-or-treat buckets black, inside and out (flat-finish paint looks spookiest), to transform them into cauldrons. Coat flat-top wooden candle holders (available unfinished at craft stores) with the same paint and attach the cauldrons to their tops with hot glue. Now all that's left to do is choose witch, er, which snacks to serve. (Not recommended: eye of newt.)

As a followup to our discussion with President Briggs this afternoon, a few prompts, questions and discussion points we didn't get to in our brief time in class:
- Should Berry in fact be in the business of building character?
- What should that look like?
- Are we in fact a Christian community? What does that mean? How do we agree on the moral point of view Briggs asserts in his column that we should have?
- How does freedom of expression (and religion), in Briggs's words, "imply that all beliefs should be considered equally valid?" Where is that implication? Who should get to decide what is more (or less) valid?
- In Christian understanding, personal freedom "is a great good but not an absolute good." What does that mean?
- Paul in Romans 14 exhorts us to serve each other out of gratitude toward Christ, to sacrifice some of our radical grace (freedom) in order to build and preserve fellowship (community). Reactions?
And any question you wanted to ask but didn't get to. Right here. Right now.

A group of retired school teachers were joined by parents and community members at a press conference Monday afternoon designed to urge state legislators to block the proposed mid-year cuts in state aid and instead investigate creative ways to bridge the budget deficit.
Gov. David Paterson has proposed cuts of $585 million this year and another $844 million next year. School officials from Central New York and beyond are upset that mid-year cuts in state aid would hurt students and force districts to make cuts in staff and programs.
About 20 people rallied and held up signs at the event, held at the New York State United Teachers office in East Syracuse. The event was sponsored by the Alliance for Quality Education, Citizen Action and NYSUT. Bill Spreter, a retired teacher and Alliance board member, said the group wants to urge lawmakers not to go along with the governor's proposed cuts because of their devastating effect.
Legislators should look at alternate methods of increasing revenue or making cuts, such as using the tax stabilization relief fund, unredeemed bottle deposits or even placing a temporary tax surcharge on the wealthiest New Yorkers, Spreter said.
Retired teachers from Hannibal, Liverpool, West Genesee and Syracuse took part in Monday's event. Educators fear the proposed cuts will hurt kids in rural and urban schools the most, Spreter said.

|BEWARE!!!!! of the detached flake on the right side of the "Booty Slab" formation. The flake once formed the right side of a fun, sit-down, fist crack problem (if there ever was such a thing). The flake shifted about five years ago and forms the right side of sit-down off-width problem. I have no problems with the off-width part of the change, but after looking closely at the flake, I realized that it is completely fractured ... bottom, back, sides, and of course front and has no visible means of attachment to the main cliff. I can't figure out why it has not fallen off already. I'd estimate this "flake" weighs in at about 3 tons and will leave a heck of a dent on whomever is pulling on it when it decides to fall the rest of the way to the ground.
