Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls is twisted. I mean that in a good way. It is the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, is set four years earlier, and its ghastly illustrations and content delightfully contrast with its gentle, proper prose style.
Zombies are referred to as "unmentionables" or "dreadfuls," as if using more descriptive terms might poison the speaker. This polite device is contradicted by passages that are both violent and graphically descriptive. When one character questions another about the necessity of removing the head of a man who died when cut in half by a carriage, the second replies, "I have seen nothing more than a head, a neck, and a pair of shoulders devour a highland warrior, kilt and all." Readers may want to choose a secluded corner in which to read; they will be laughing loudly.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls centers on the Bennet family; Mr. Bennet is a veteran zombie-killer with a silly, drama queen of a wife who talks incessantly, and five daughters, some of whom are inane and frivolous. Mr. Bennet takes it upon himself to teach these daughters the art of zombie hunting, not an easy task with a group characterized by their horrified reaction to sitting on the floor.
Author Steve Hockensmith has done an admirable job of describing hideous events with grace and dignity, thereby delivering a story that is no less than hilarious. I find myself rereading passages and enjoying their resonance. Producing truly amusing humor is a difficult task which Hockensmith ably handles.
Elizabeth and Jane Bennet soon rise to the top of the class, but sisters Kitty, Lydia, and Mary—after much protesting—bring up the rear. Can you picture ninjas in Edwardian dress? Despite their constricting clothing, that's what these five sisters train to be.
If life isn't complicated enough for the Bennet sisters, they are also preparing for Elizabeth's coming out, which is to occur soon after the first zombie (excuse me, unmentionable) comes out, so to speak. Jane, whose mother is endlessly talking about marrying her off (actually, she's just endlessly talking; if it's not the girls' marriage prospects, it's the weather), is the beautiful, kind sister who has captivated the local baron, a despicable roué intent of relieving her of her virtue. The girls need not worry about the coming out ball; once the "good people" of Hertfordshire learn the Bennet girls are being tutored in the "deadly arts," they are horrified, and the invitation to the coming-out ball is rescinded.
The Bennet girls go through a transformation. All but Elizabeth were reluctant to become warriors, but once they embrace their destiny they learn what it means to be an Englishwoman. Somehow they manage to be 100% warrior, 100% lady (or girl, in the case of the youngest sisters who lop off heads when they aren't giggling and gossiping).
A hint of romance rears its ugly head throughout Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls. While Jane sees only good in everyone, including the lecherous baron, Elizabeth is more level-headed, but soon starts to fall for the mysterious "Master" Hawksworth, a powerful warrior who has come to the Bennet home to mold the Bennets (except Mother who is too busy swooning) into ninjas. Jane is distracted by a handsome army officer who does not approve of English women battling with the undead; Elizabeth finds distraction in a quirky, young doctor whose dedication to re-Anglicizing the dreadfuls seems misplaced since they are both dead and decomposing. Hockensmith generously describes the state of various unmentionables when they come calling.
Throughout Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, Elizabeth experiences a number of awakenings, becoming a warrior and true hero in the process. When it comes to the men, she experiences a number of disappointments.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls culminates in a zombie jamboree at the estate of the debauched baron, Lord Lumpley, whose home has become a refuge for hundreds of tradespeople and their families, villagers, and soldiers much to his disdain. As the unmentionables swarm the estate, Lord Lumpley laments, "My God…just look what they've done to the topiary."
Hockensmith has populated Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls with a memorable cast of characters—some admirable, some despicable, and some just dead. He walks a fine line between decorum and disgusting and delivers an entirely satisfying story that is by turns wonderful, horrible, hilarious, savage, and sad. Look for it in stores March 23.
Bottom Line: Would I buy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls? You betcha!Powered by Sidelines

PARIS (AP) — Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka has been knocked out in the fourth round of the French Open, losing 6-2, 7-6 (4) to 15th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.
Azarenka, the Austrailian Open champion, fell behind early and couldn't get any sense of control in this match. She vented her frustration in the second set, slamming her racket to the ground, then smashing it again while during a changeover. The chair umpire gave Azarenka a warning for racket abuse.
Cibulkova, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2009, had pushed Azarenka to a third set in their five previous matches but hadn't beaten her since 2008 at Amelia Island — the last time they met on clay.

Social Performance by Jeffrey C. Alexander
Book DescriptionJeffrey C. Alexander brings together new and leading contributors to make a powerful and coherently argued case for a new direction in cultural sociology, one that focuses on the intersection between performance, ritual and social action. Performance has always been used by sociologists to understand the social world but this volume offers the first systematic analytical framework based on the performance metaphor to explain large-scale social and cultural processes. From September 11, to the Clinton/Lewinsky affair, to the role of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Social Performance draws on recent work in performative theory in the humanities and in cultural studies to offer a novel approach to the sociology of culture. Inspired by the theories of Austin, Derrida, Durkheim, Goffman, and Turner, this is a path-breaking volume that makes a major contribution to the field. It will appeal to scholars and students alike.

I did it again - missing coordinates for new vendors. Sigh. Thanks very much for the prompt report at least, anonymous.
The update for WoW 3.2 is a little late, but there turned out to be many minor changes in this version that took a bit longer than I would have liked. It's out now, though, so let me know if you have any trouble!
Just a quick update to keep Recipe Radar compatible with the 3.1 client.
This update is a fairly expansive bugfix release. The most annoying problem - "ASSERT" spam in major cities - is now fixed, and several other outstanding issues have been dealt with as well. You might want to check the ChangeLog for details.
I'd also like to thank everyone for your infinite patience in dealing with my not-so-regular release schedule, heh.
Many people are starting to get into Dalaran now, so it'll be nice to have the new recipes available. This release also fixes major problems preventing the German and Russian locales from working. Please let me know if you find any more problems, of course, and enjoy!
It turns out I'm not actually dead! And here's a new release of Recipe Radar after many patient requests from fans. It not only fixes the several serious bugs introduced after WoW 3.0, but also updates the database with all of the known vendor items as of now, including many WotLK recipes.
I'm still playing WoW (in fact, my guild just took down Kil'jaeden this week, woo), and I'll now be leveling with everyone else so it might be safe, finally, to look forward to more frequent updates. In any case, your support during the upgrade was most helpful - thank you all very much! I hope Recipe Radar continues to work out well for you!
There was a major bug in v1.26 related to the Astrolabe library that was causing a lockup - most often when transfering between the new Island and Shattrath. This version fixes that bug and another rarer one. It also makes use of the new GetItemIcon() method included in 2.4 so we shouldn't have to see that question mark icon anymore.
Disasterously, I forgot several new source files associated with mapping in the previous release! It's hard to imagine it working at all, though some people apparently managed. Anyway, thanks to the numerous excellent bug reports I figured it out and this release should be functional. Gah.
I should also mention the anonymous poster at SF.Net who tested out a small change to the zhTW recipe label parsing code. Thank you!
I'm sad to admit that laziness overtook me for the last few months and yes, I completely missed the 2.3 client for goodness sakes. Recipe Radar is back now, though, with all of the new 2.4 content. Thank you for all of the letters of support over the last couple months - without them RR may not ever have seen the light of day again!
I've made several things easier on myself with this release, most notably regarding keeping localizations up-to-date. This release also marks a shift to Esamynn's Astrolabe addon for all of the mapping. As always, let me know if you have any problems!
I was a bit late on this release after 2.2 due to WoWHead's slow update process - all of my scripts parse WoWHead now, so I'm fairly dependent on them. They did eventually update, though, so this release includes all of the new recipes.
Unfortunately, WoWHead doesn't have as accurate coordinates as it used to now that many people have been submitting data to it. Some of the locations, therefore, will be a bit off. I welcome any new data from you users.... read more
It lives!
It turns out I don't have a sweet excuse for being so late on this release, though I did have a number of technical difficulties in the last few months. Part of the problem was a reluctance on my part to release a new version when the Spanish and Chinese translations were so incomplete. They really needed their own automation apart from my scripts that hit AllaKhazam because AllaKhazam is so incomplete on those two fronts.... read more
The new Chinese translation apparently worked except that availability checking for Unicode locales was broken. This release hopefully fixes that.
Thanks to Edeson, Recipe Radar now sports a Chinese (zhTW) translation! I have also, I hope, fixed the problem Spanish users were having with the detection of known recipes. Enjoy!
I apparently never tested whether the new factions were being considered in the availability checking.. because they weren't. They should all work as of this release, though.
I've also fixed a few problematic recipes that were causing disconnects and such. Thank you to all the people who wrote in about this.
Thanks to a couple of generous translations by Jorge Pozo and akirra, Recipe Radar should work much better for Spanish and French clients. Please let me know if I mistranslated anything into the database.
Finally, thanks to a little help from Elkano, I've filtered out seasonal vendors during off-seasons. Those unbuyable recipes will torment us no longer.
I've also tried to sync up with the known recipes again. Please let me know if anything seems to be missing.
Finally, an update with all of the new Burning Crusade recipes! Please let me know if you find any problems!
This is a quick bugfix release. If you are using the Spanish locale or were receiving an error on startup, this version should help. Otherwise there's no need to upgrade.
This is the initial BC release of Recipe Radar. I'll try to update it relatively often as new recipes are found, and so forth. I also fixed a few bugs and inaccuracies some people had been having, so if Recipe Radar wasn't working for you, please try the new version.
Many apologies to the German users of Recipe Radar - I had a hard time finding the new German location names from the last patch, and I've also been rather busy lately. They should all be in there this time, though.
I've also added class-based availability checking in this version. So, for example, Thistle Tea will now only apply to rogue characters. I'm sad to report that there doesn't appear to be any way to do a similar thing with time (for, eg., the Winter Veil recipes) because there is not, that I can tell, an API call to actually find out the time! If you know something I don't on this front, please let me know.... read more
A small but nasty bug was showing up on startup for a lot of people. I'm not sure how I never saw it, but thanks for all the reports!
Blizzard decided to change the names of the German capitals in their latest patch. This release accounts for those changes and a couple of German recipe name differences. (If you don't have a German client, there is no need to upgrade.)
A few minor bugfixes accompany this compatibility update of Recipe Radar for the 2.0 WoW client. I've also added some partial support for the Spanish (esES) locale such that I hope Recipe Radar at least won't crash. We'll see.
Minor bugfix release. Thanks to TDurden for pointing out that item linking was broken, and thanks to Arilaw for finding a bug related to specialization checking.
Whoops, my specialization checking didn't work in v1.9. Unfortunately I don't have any characters with which I can test that feature, but I found some friends to graciously donate their accounts for a bit and it seems to work now.
I also applying a patch submitted by borohir of ui.worldofwar.net that adds Auctioneer and Recipe Book stuff to the tooltip for the little recipe icon. Thank you very much, borohir!
Well, I missed the 1.12 WoW patch by a mile, but I think this upgrade will be worth it, especially to those who have been requesting features and generally following the development of the addon. This is because v1.9 sports a couple of very nice new features!
The first is that Recipe Radar now checks faction reputation and trade skill specialties for recipe availability! This means that when a recipe has the green available marker by it, it will (with a couple remaining exceptions) actually be learnable. The other major new feature is a name cache for recipes. If all works as planned, this version should mark the last time we will have to go through the mouseover dance after Blizzard patches! Hooray!... read more

In the beginning, tablets looked more like the televisions that strap onto the back of a car's seat more than something out of "2001: A Space Odyssey." However, I'm happy to report that the times have changed and so have tablet designs.
After Apple released the iPad (let's give credit where credit is due), aesthetics and design became a more prominent selling-point for the emerging portable devices. Overall, tablet girth has declined, ushering in the new era of thin slates, and we've gathered the ones so sleek, their predecessors wouldn't even recognize them if they saw them walking down the street.
This post focuses on tablets smaller than 8.9 inches, but if you're interested in a bigger display without sacrificing too much bag space, check out our top picks for thinnest and lightest large tablets.
|Screen size
|Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0
|0.22 inch (5.6mm)
|0.58 pound (265g)
|8 inches
|Apple iPad Mini 4
|0.24 inch (6.1mm)
|0.65 pound (298.8g)
|7.9 inches
|Dell Venue 8 7000
|0.24 inch (6mm)
|0.67 pound (306g)
|8.4 inches
|Samsung Galaxy Tab A
|0.29 inch (7.4mm)
|0.69 pound (313g)
|8 inches
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0
Budget tablets are notable for their low prices, not their designs. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is a nice departure from the status quo. Its plastic build doesn't feel premium, yet it's one of the slimmest and lightest in its price range.
Dell Venue 8 7000
The Dell Venue 8 7000 sounds like a tablet from the future -- and it looks like one, too. The supersleek aluminum-wrapped 8.4-incher was the first tablet to house Intel's depth sensing camera, and it ships with preloaded software to creatively edit your photos. When paired with its captivating OLED HD screen, it makes for a fun photography-centric slate.
Apple iPad Mini 4
You might've been too busy staring at the supersize iPad Pro , but Apple also announced a new iPad Mini earlier this year. The fourth in the series, it runs on iOS 9 and boasts the sleekest design yet. The iPad Mini 4 has yet to be released, though our first impressions of the tablet were better than the barely updated iPad Mini 3. Stay tuned for the full review coming soon.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
Samsung updated its high-end Galaxy S series of tablets with the slimmer and lighter Galaxy S2. The new model shaves off a few ounces and millimeters for an even more compact construction. Like its predecessor, it also rocks a supersharp screen with vibrant colors and software perks exclusive to Galaxy Tab S2 owners.

Banana Plant Runners?
Do banana plant send out runners? Mine seen to be doing this and im wondering if this is how they reproduce?? I hope, wouls be a nice surprise:)
To the best of my knowledge, runners do not occur on Nymphoides aquatica [so-called Banana plant]. Roots will emerge and from down into the substrate (the "banana"-like tubers should not be buried but set in the top of the substrate), and leaves and sometimes an inflorescence (flower stalk) will grow up to the surface. The beginnings of any of these may be what you see.
Proabaly the first one. They look so cool, like the plant is floating, but the roots tether them down. Espicially from a distance
banna plant/tank picture
My banana plant has made a large stem up to the top and produced a sorta colored leaf thingy. The Leafs on it are nice and big bright green. I am really glad I got it.

BAA slipped even further into the red in the first nine months of this year thanks to falling passenger numbers and the forced sale of Gatwick.
The Ferrovial-owned airport operator posted pre-tax losses of £785m over the first three quarters, even worse than last year's £520m losses. The group blamed a £261m exceptional charge on its pension scheme deficit, a £225m gap between Gatwick's £1.5bn sale price and its valuation on BAA's books, and a further £136m loss on financial instruments.
Colin Matthews, the chief executive described the technical losses as a "distraction" yesterday. "The accounting losses we are reporting today reflect non-cash exceptional charges and do not reflect the strong underlying performance of the business," he said.
Passenger numbers fell by 5.5 per cent to 91 million at BAA's seven UK airports in the first nine months of this year, but the rate of decline is slowing from the massive 10 per cent drop in the first quarter. Heathrow is the best performer. Passenger traffic fell by just 2.3 per cent to 50 million over the whole period, and rose by 0.3 per cent in the third quarter.
BAA was forced to sell Gatwick by Competition Commission rule, and also has to find a buyer for Stansted and either Edinburgh or Glasgow airports.

Sand control measures and sand drift fences
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities (2005)
Sand drift and sand dune movements are typical logistic problems facing civilian and industrial cities in arid and semiarid countries like Saudi Arabia. Some of these countries are considered active when it comes to sand drift and sand dune movement, due to the high annual sand drift rate. Urban cities have extensive facilities in the middle of these active areas that require good protection and innovative solutions to this problem. This paper briefly reviews sand movement control measures and highlights sand drift fence design guidelines for the first time.

2601 W. Ball Rd., Anaheim, California.
Though prosecutors aren't commenting on the agreement, we're guessing it stems from the fact that the feds have deemed such cases to be a waste of resources when related to state-legal marijuana shops.
"I was shocked when the government first sued me and I realized that civil forfeiture meant the government could take my property from me even though I was not charged with any crime," Jalali said in a press release through his attorneys. "I did not want to be bullied and stood up to the government to protect my property and my reputation."
Jalali, an Iranian emigrant who came to the U.S. in the late 1970s, was among nearly 30 California landlords charged by the government with assisting illegal drug dealers – since that's all medical marijuana patients and caregivers are to the feds. Jalali says he evicted the medical marijuana dispensary when charges were filed and has been unfairly targeted by overzealous prosecutors.
The building that the feds were trying to seize had an assessed value of $1.5 million.
Jalali's attorneys argued from the beginning that since their client had no ownership stake in the dispensary (or any involvement at all besides cashing their rent checks), the feds were unconstitutionally trying to take away Jalali's personal property.
"Civil forfeiture should not be used as a punishment for a property owner who committed no crime," Jalali's attorney Larry Salzman told the Associated Press. "This is a case that should never have been filed."
Most of the other landlords settled out of court, with about two-dozen signing agreements forbidding them from renting out to medical marijuana dispensaries in the future. The landlords were also fined, with the feds reaping hundreds of thousands of dollars. Federal prosecutors tried to squeeze the same out of Jalali, but he fought back. And now, seems to have won. The case is being tossed and can not be brought up again.
The decision comes as public opinion on wasteful government spending related to cannabis is at an all time high. On top of that, recent memos to federal prosecutors from the Attorney General's office have made it clear that prosecuting marijuana businesses following state law should be left alone so long as there are measures in place to regulate the industry. Jalali wasn't even a marijuana business. He was a landlord following California law and allowing a legal business to operate in his property.
The absurdity of the whole thing is pretty clear to anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention. It's just too bad that those other landlords were fleeced out of their hard-earned, legal money by bully prosecutors.

Marek, Anton, and Kyle mentioned the foliage - I don't know what the foliage looked like, either. They had only the inflorescences on their stems in an arrangement. The stems were easily 30+ cm (1 foot) long, not including any of the spathe which added at least another 10+ cm (4 inches or so). That was the other impressive thing - the pink/purple/red/black cultivars I've seen have had smaller inflorescences on smaller plants, which is why I said they reminded me of rehmanii. The size and form of these reminded me of some of the bigger yellow cultivars like "Flame".

The Molecular Biology and Genetics Core Laboratory has been in operation since the University of Chicago Diabetes Center was first funded in 1977 with minor changes in the name of the core but with a major emphasis on molecular biology and more recently genetics. This Core helps independently funded investigators who are interested in using molecular and genetic approaches in the study of diabetes and other metabolic diseases as well as diabetic complications. The growing demand for genetic services has resulted in this Core largely focusing on providing services directed towards genetic studies of diabetes including study design, power calculations, sample collection, genotyping and sequencing, and data analysis. The Core serves not only DRTC investigators but also diabetes investigators carrying out genetic studies of diabetes throughout the United States and internationally. The Core offers services as well as providing advice and hands-on training. In this competing renewal the focus will continue to be on genetic studies including genome-wide association study and design incorporating whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing approaches. We also propose to develop "diabetes-related databases" that will be accessible to all such as lists of mutations associated with monogenic forms of diabetes and variants with polygenic forms of diabetes. While the focus of this Core is primarily genetics, we are cognizant of the fact that genetic studies lead to biological studies. Thus, we propose to offer BAC recombineering as a new service for investigators studying the biology of diabetes genes in vivo and in vitro. Drs. Bell and Cox will continue to serve as Director and Co-Director of this Core. Dr. Marcelo Nobrega will join them as a Co-Director leading the BAC recombineering service. This group will be advised by leaders in the field of epidemiology (Hanis and Ober), genetic analysis (Abney, Di Rienzo, Nicolae, Pritchard and Stephens), biostatistics (Nicolae and Stephens), computation (grid and cloud computing - Foster and Grossman) and genomics and systems biology (White) to ensure that Core services are at the forefront of genetic and genomic studies of complex diseases and quickly adapts to users needs.
The Molecular Biology and Genetics Core provides services, advice and hands-on training for genetic studies of diabetes, and molecular and cell biological studies of diabetes genes. These services and studies will provide a better understanding of the causes of diabetes and new approaches for prevention and treatment.

Then, these threads are recycled rather than being created and destroyed all the time. The pool can be configured through property settings for how many it creates. * Background threads for things like checking classfile changes for autoreload, session invalidation, etc. * Depending on its implementation, the JVM might itself have background threads running for garbage collection or other reasons. Most of the time, the threads that Tomcat creates are blocked waiting for input (or waiting for a timer to expire), so they don't occupy any CPU time (or any memory, other than the runtime stack that is allocated for each thread). So, it's no big deal to have the threads active but idle.

What is wrong, when you find that your daughter,
Slipped your son a ruthie,
And is having sex with him, using a strap on,
While your wife is watching,
With so many fingers inside herself,
It looks like her hand is half gone?
Who is to blame, when you come home
To find your daughter Is getting gangbanged,
While screaming, "I want to be spanked."?
And what do you say,
when you find out your son is gay,
Because he has been rolling in the hay,
Every other camp day sunday,
Ever since he was three,
With an uncle who likes to teach,
How to deep throat using less teeth?
Where do you find help,
When your son hangs himself,
With your favorite belt,
After dying his hair blond,
Andsqatting on a jelly dong,
All because you called him gay,
Because his hair is long?
Don't blame me,
What did you do wrong?

ok! i love the topic and i agree with your angle which simply shows you that for every problem that you encounter, you are responsible for it in one way or the other and that the solution is not that simple to implement but in it all there's always a solution within yourself, the final line was the best part of this poem
and points a finger back at those who blames others.
five stars, brilliant poem.

The DNA Resource Core was founded in 1999 and has been continuously funded by the CCSG as a DF/HCC Shared Resources since 2000. The facility is currently led by J. Wade Harper and is jointly managed (Cancer Center and Institution). The Core provides investigators access to specialized resources such as informatics support, rapid and user-friendly high-throughput DNA sequencing services and cDNA/RNAi clone repository and distribution services. The success of the DNA Resource Core is evidenced by its usage, sequencing about 200,000 samples per year. In 2004, the PlasmID DNA repository and associated in-house plasmid database was added. This repository's current collection includes more than 241,000 plasmid DNA clones useful for cloning, mutagenesis and expression relevant to more than 25 different species, with the emphasis on human cancer-related gene collections. In addition, based on the expressed need of DF/HCC members, the DNA Resource Core has now integrated shRNA libraries into the PlasmID DNA repository. Director: J. Wade Harper, PhD(HMS) Category: 1.2 (Molecular Biology) Management: Joint (Cancer Center and Institution)
The DNA Resource Core was created to address the sequencing needs of both small-and large-scale DNA sequencing users in DF/HCC. The Core's mission is to provide quality and priority access to specialized resources and services. These services constitute an integral component of the vast majority of basic and translational sciences being done under the umbrella of DF/HCC.

Good 3.8 /5 from 19 reviews
We attended the birding festival, which was headquartered at the resort. The festival and resort worked well together.
We were in town for a wedding which was 12 miles away from the hotel. We drove ourselves to the wedding but afterwards, decided to take advantage of the hotel shuttle since we had been drinking and there were no ubers, lyfts or taxi services in the area. There was a hurricane going on that weekend so they were understandably short staffed to include their regular shuttle driver. The night front desk girl was filling in and was so late and so rude about having to shuttle us back to our hotel that we told her to turn around and take us back to the wedding venue where we sobered up and drove ourselves back to the hotel. She was remarkably unprofessional and rude. Later, we asked if there were any places to get food late night and they suggested the restaurant on the hotel property that was not in walking distance. They offered to shuttle us there but the same girl came out and said she didn't want to take the van so she drove us there in a golf cart - in torrential downpouring rain. We were soaked but she couldn't care less. The restaurant bar staff was nice enough to take us back to our hotel room in their car at the end of their shift. The restaurant staff is EXCELLENT! Front desk/shuttle driver - not so much!
Very nice place . Everything was new or renovated.Lots of activitys for kids that we didn't know where included in our stay. Shuttle service to the beach which was a life saver! Pool was awesome!! And the camping area was great . Next time we will bring camper and set up. Hotel has a store in it that you can get just about anything you would need or forget also a work out room that had all new equipment. We went over Labor Day and Hurricane Hirmine made one of our days a stay in day but hotel had movies for kids and a hog roast . Made the day just that much better with two kids that get bored easy.
was wonderful---they just redid the place and reopened last month, so there are some glitches...wanted to rent a golf cart, but many keys were missing, so they sat there unused--were able to get rides on them by staff, and tipped them; ran out of guest guides; soda machine on our floor was mostly empty; bureau drawer was broken; had to go to office for ice [very inconvenient] but..will that, would still go again in a heart beat !!!
we have passed this hotel for years on our way to the outer banks. Decided to break the trip up and booked a stay. We were pleasantly surprised. Room was clean and spacious, and recently updated. Bathroom fixtures need updating Staff very friendly. Good location. Would recommend it to other travelers.

Maemo applications, mobile Nokia n810, for example, have a native file picker dialog that is not the sameas the normal GTK file picker. It is designed for smaller screens. Supporting the Hildon file picker is pretty important for any Mozilla mobile work on that platform, from a widget standpoint.

Adding a hildon menu with a file picker
Created attachment 363558 [details] [diff] [review]
Adding a feature of opening a local file
These patches implemented a feature of opening a local file using the hildon system menu & file chooser widget.
But, I'm not sure if this is a right approach because the menu was implemented in a native way instead of using XUL. So we seem to need some mobile specific XUL elements.
This feature has already landed in bug 511290

Slowly this trip is coming to end......
... even with the big nasty mega yachts anchored nearby.
Saturday 29 August
After an evening of rolling around due to the ribs, motor boats and mega yachts crew to'ing and fro'ing, and not to mention the water skiing enthusiasts, we left the anchorage quite early. We passed some pretty amazingly big super yachts, one being Madame Gu, and anchored in another lovely spot not far away and surrounded by wonderful landscape
More lovely anchorages
... just beautiful it is very rolly polly due to the sheer amount of traffic – day trippers, ferries etc. so we decided to move back around the coast and anchor in a delightful bay and just enjoy the scenery.
Monday 24 August
We left Connigiorne and headed back north to Palau where we thought we'd anchor for the
evening. The anchorage was a little tight with a few more yachts joining is in the afternoon. We were hoping to complete a bit more provisioning but ...
Lovely anchorages
... a great sail in to
our destination. I know I say this a lot about the coastlines we pass but the Sardinian coast is something special even from a distance from shore.
We got to the Bonifacio Straights where we had the mountains of Sardinia on the
starboard side and the mountains of Corisca on the port side of us.
The anchorage we chose to stay in only had two other yachts, so quite peaceful ...
From beach babes to mountain goats.
... but who can let such great photo opportunities go by? Haha.
We make it to the top red faced and huffing and puffing. We are proud to have completed the climb. Lunch is made for us by the little supermarket. They make us panini with mortadella and provolone cheese and also salami ones. We also buy cold beer in the supermarket and sit down in the town square under some trees wth some locals and eat our lunch. ...
Santa Teresa, Next Port of Call
... was on for me to have the first ski!!
Glen drove the boat, Kevin observer and I tried a deep water start, three attempts and no go!!!
the rid attempt I felt the "Hammies"...oh dear, not as young as I use to be. So I got out of the water and let Barry and Maurie have a go (they both experienced water skiers 15 and 30 yrs ago)
Well the same thing happened, Barry had several attempts and not go, put two skis on, still didn't get ...
