Los Angeles Times Book Awards: Authors in nine nominated categories were awarded the LA Times Book Prize on Friday evening "with as much enthusiasm and humor as any of the more grandly produced affairs of recent years." (I like the way that sounds: fond and familiar, like a lot of happy readers in one big room.) The winners are:

- Current Interest: Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency by Barton Gellman
- Fiction: Home by Marilynne Robinson

One of these things is not like the other: Which of the following books did *not* make Norman Mailer's list of Ten Favorite American Novels? The Big Sleep, Look Homeward, Angel or The Sun Also Rises? (Find the answer over at Paper Cuts.)
Trendspotting: Book-Inspired Playlists: The Millions has a great post today about how some books beg for a playlist. His examples are clear ones--Our Band Could Be Your Life, The Fortress of Solitude, Please Kill Me (and I'll definitely be taking these for a spin later today on Pandora)--but lately we've seen more authors musing about the music that moves them. I like the idea of thinking about stories and characters in this musical dimension, but, boy, where to begin. Should you have a stroke of book-music-mashup brilliance you've been dying to share, let us know. --Anne

Employed at CCU since 2002
Degrees and Professional Experience
What do you like best about working at CCU?
I really appreciate the community we share at Colorado Christian University. The students here are very committed to knowing Jesus more, being His hands in this world, and loving people. I feel blessed to know, serve, and work with these students. I also appreciate the opportunities I am given at CCU to grow professionally and the amazing colleagues I am privileged to work with on a daily basis.
Describe your most memorable experience at CCU
That is a difficult question to answer because I have so many great memories at CCU. I can't select just one, so here are a few of my favorites: working alongside students late at night preparing for new student orientation or WOW (Weekend of Welcome), serving students dinner at our annual Final's Breakfast, and celebrating with graduating seniors at the Senior Banquet and their graduation.

Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort, Thailand
Affärshotell i topp
670 kr+
Wonderful buffet, spacious rooms, beautiful views. Had a small problem with our room safe which was remedied quickly and satisfactorily.
Room was awesome. We took a river view room, which was worth the extra $6 a night. Best value for money hotel so far in Thailand. Don't use Waze to navigate there. Google maps did the job much much better.
Clean, Quiet, Charming Could be closer to downtown - but I guess I knew this when I booked it.
comfortable rooms, nice pool & loungers, 'jungle' feel with the planting. Tuk Tuk or taxis readily available to take you to/from the night market. Very impersonal feel to the whole place, a bit like a beautiful face with nothing going on behind!
The deluxe room overlooking the pool was very good value through booking.com It was very comfortable and clean. The grounds were beautifully kept, lovely pool, helpful and friendly staff. No complaints
Spacious bungalows in a beautifully landscaped tropical garden; amazing breakfast buffet; professional, friendly staff; relaxing poolside. Minor point: internet at 50 baht per hour.
One of the better hotels I've stayed. Very clean, comfortable and good hotel. It's a bit far from city center, but not really important since there are taxis.
Everything. Huge wide flat screen tv with movie channels in english.Nice cool gardens everywhere. Big comfy bed. Big bathroom with big shower.We booked the room for 4 nights and stayed 13. Only thing was no international dialing from the room. I had to buy a phone card from reception and use public phone in lobby in public location.
Nice hotel,clean,very helpful and friendly staff.Breakfast was very good . Hotel is not that close to the nig
It is a very fine establishment with good service and excellent value for money. The resturant and its staff were alos of high quality and value for money
Lovely hotel, about 7 minutes drive from the centre of Chaing Rai, beautiful pool, lovely rooms, with great bathrooms, an overall a very good hotel
ROOMS : Spacious, clean, comfy and nice. Daybed was nice touch. Love spotlessly clean and new bathroom. Breakfast weak - very little variety. In the end, we were left with some porridge and omelette and had to buy stuff like yoghurt from supermart the night b4. Taste was average at best. And the location is remote thus hard to go out for meals, especially there is no road lamps at night and the sun sets about 5.30pm now. Front desk staff were confused between internet (with cable and chargeable) while wifi was free. Password changed daily and we had trouble asking them for it. Language barrier too. Still, overall a good stay.
We were very pleased with this hotel. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The pool and grounds were immaculate. We definitely will stay here again if we return to Chiang Rai in the future. Our only complaint is that the restaurant was not up to the excellent level of everything else in this hotel. We ate dinner and the complimentary breakfast buffet. It was good, but not outstanding. We may have been spoiled because we had just come from Anantara where the food was excelllent.

Saturday's game against top-ranked Notre Dame will be the last home game for USC seniors, but also could be the final appearance for underclassmen like cornerback Nickell Robey and wide receiver Robert Woods.
Neither player announced their plans for next season, but Robey often has been ignored in games because teams usually pick on the opposite cornerback. Last year, he did a nice job on Irish wide receiver Michael Floyd, who caught only four passes for 28 yards. This year he will face T.J. Jones.
"Every time I look at Notre Dame, I see myself making a lot of big plays last year," Robey said. "This year, I look forward to the same thing.
"Even though Michael Floyd is not there, I'm looking to guard T.J. Jones. Let's see what he's about."
Robey has enjoyed a successful season but he is not infallible, allowing big passes in games against Arizona and Arizona State. But if he turned pro, it would mean the Trojans must replace three starters in the secondary next season (Robey, T.J. McDonald and Jawanza Starling).
Haden, Kiffin to meet
Athletic director Pat Haden said he would meet with head coach Lane Kiffin after the season to discuss things like possible staff changes.
"Lane and I will meet after this game," Haden told ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd. "(We will analyze) what Lane needs to do better or efficiently.
"Every coach, every staff always looks at themselves. We'll have that conversation shortly."
Haden said the 7-4 season "hasn't turned out so far the way we would have liked. We were probably overhyped."
He acknowledged he receives plenty of "hateful emails" regarding Kiffin.
"I love the people's passion," Haden said. "Sometimes the rhetoric, the tenor and tone surprises me. I have a pretty thick skin but sometimes it amazes me."
Haden, asked about fans deserting the program, said, "We need to win games and win them in the right way so those fans will come back on the bus."
Break for the defense
Kiffin admitted he preferred playing Notre Dame's more conventional offense instead of the spread offense that usually gives the Trojans problems.
"That's no secret," Kiffin said. "Over the course of time here, the last three years, we've played much better versus traditional teams."
Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin had his role in that struggle despite visiting Nevada last summer to study Wolfpack coach Chris Ault's Pistol offense, but the Trojans' performance against spread teams remained poor.
Kicking confidence
Andre Heidari is 8 for 13 on field goals and only 2 for 6 from 40 or more yards. Kiffin attributed it to Heidari's knee surgery in September to repair a torn meniscus.
"I've got to think the surgery does not help a guy's rhythm," Kiffin said. "For a kicker to have surgery on his knee part way through the season (does not help)."
Stat of the day
This will be USC's second night game this year, the lowest regular-season total since the Trojans played just one in 2001.

Yeah it does look like a C.
Cheers guys, I'm getting there slowly yeah. Prefer that N to the other N I had anyway, just gotta do something about it overall.
Ghoul - The G seems a bit thicker than the rest of the letters, and I don't like the up/down lines coming off the joint of the H, but otherwise it's looking nice.
Maybe just add two lines for your H cross.

LSU Makes Major Impact on BCS and Sugar Bowl
By Dennis Dodd, CBSSports.com Senior Writer
What I remember about LSU in the Sugar Bowl ...
The fans, definitely the fans. The way they took over New Orleans, three times in five years ... The way they showered love on Nick Saban on the night of January 4, 2004 as he walked off the field through a Superdome tunnel. I know. I was next to him ... The estimated 50,000 who gathered outside Death Valley in 2007, while 92,000 inside watched the Florida game ... They had a bigger treat awaiting them down the road in Nawlins ... I remember the boudin those fans offered me .. I remember hearing "Tah-ger bait" over and over and ov-
No group of fans has made a bigger impression on the national championship in the BCS era.
In a mixture of football excellence and a rabid following, LSU is the only school to play two "home" games in the BCS title game. If you include the 2007 Sugar Bowl, that's three visits to the Superdome since 2004 ...
I remember Marcus Spears trying to define the 2004 Sugar Bowl after USC had won the Rose Bowl to eventually claim a split national championship:
"It's more for our fans to have a good feeling," said the LSU defensive end. "They don't want to share the national championship."
To this day, those fans refuse to share. There have been billboards erected disputing that fact. For years afterward, I received several e-mails reminding me that LSU was the one and only 2003 national champion ...
I remember receiver Michael Clayton doing the best job of defining a split title.
"No matter what polls say, no matter what coaches say you can't determine who is No. 1 unless you play the game," Clayton said. "Me, personally, I feel like that's the only true way to get one national champion. If we're going to share, we're going to share it. I accept it with honor."
I remember using this quote near the end of a column in a run-up to the 2004 Sugar Bowl.
"It's probably not a good time to say this but when you coach pro ball, it's all about ball. I like that," Saban said.
We would find out just how much he liked that.
I remember LSU playing the bouncer. Notre Dame played the slacker trying to get behind the velvet rope. I remember Brady Quinn and the Irish being run out of the Superdome by LSU in 2007 and thinking: "Call security!"
I remember "Crazy" Les Miles leading the Tigers back to the Superdome in January, 2007.
You've seen him before, I wrote, He's the guy who flashes across the screen at midnight when the ad rates are cheap, selling you everything from used cars to Ginsu knives.
Just like those crappy Japanese knives that slice through soup cans.
"I know it may appear from the sidelines that, 'Oh, this guy has lost his mind,' and that might be true," Crazy Les Miles said, "but the truth of the matter is we are operating with a set of circumstances and criteria that are in flux."
At some point this season, Leslie Edwin Miles morphed into that midnight carnival barker. The seemingly conservative, tight-lipped LSU coach veered off the tracks onto a dark path that could have easily gotten him roasted on the spit of public opinion.
Instead it got him to the BCS national championship game against No. 1 Ohio State. And a warning to the world from LSU's loving hordes: Fear the Hat.
I remember a series of decisions that were -- at best questionable, at worst potentially season-ruining -- that defined LSU's season. They gave us a glimpse of what percolated below that trucker-hat now is traditionally rocked by Miles on the sidelines.
Judge for yourself:
"It was definitely a surprise to us that it worked that well," tailback Jacob Hester said. "I don't know if that will work that well again."
The obvious irony was that Miles had outsmarted Steve Spurrier, the man who earned his nickname (Ol' Ball Coach) in part for fooling SEC opponents for 15 years.
"They executed it perfectly," said Spurrier, doing everything but doffing his visor. "Give those guys credit for that."
"That was a game for the ages," defensive end Tyson Jackson said. "At one point it wasn't even about football anymore. The game was about if we could prove that we had a heart the size of our bodies."
For any other team, yes. For LSU, just another midnight infomercial. Miles spent the postgame and weeks since the 30-24 victory defending the risky pass call. He wasn't arguing just against critics, but also decades of football common sense.
Hello? A 39-yard field goal from the reliable David would have sufficed. Instead, Miles yielded to offensive coordinator Gary Crowton who had gotten a signal from the sidelines from Byrd.
"I waved my hand up to the press box to let him know that, 'I'm open over here on this side. Single coverage,' Byrd said. "I told him I'd be there for you."
When the play was actually called in the huddle, part of Byrd couldn't believe it.
"I was like, 'I've got to make this play to get open.'"
"To tell you the truth I thought we were going to play for the field position for Colt to kick a field goal," Hester said. "I looked at the clock and I couldn't believe it."
"I don't think it was that unusual ...," Crazy Les said. "I just think that we are overanalyzing."
With the game headed to overtime, LSU's Chad Jones sacked and caused John Parker Wilson's fumble that was recovered neatly on the Alabama 3. Seconds later Hester ran in the game winner with 86 seconds left.
Coaches like to think their profession is so complicated it takes a PhD. (which few of them have). Mere mortals can't possibly understand the intricacies. Crazy Les gave us given us a different message: Go for it.
I remember LSU being ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for the first time since 1959. It was last year before that epic Florida game. That week James Carville invited me to tailgate. That week those fans invited me to sit down for some boudin. That week John Ed Bradley called me from his car heading away from Baton Rouge to his hometown of Opelousas, La.
I remember Bradley baring his soul to me. He played at LSU and left in 1979. He has been back twice. In his mind, he has never accomplished as much in his life than he did at LSU. Everything else paled. Remember, this was an accomplished author and journalist (Sports Illustrated, Washington Post).
Bradley spent that week publicizing his book It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium in and around Baton Rouge. He did not, however, go to the game.
"I have a hard time going to the stadium," Bradley said. "I get emotional."
In Southern Louisiana the good comes with the bad it seems. The damage from the hurricanes was mental as well as physical. The annual threat of damaging storms will never go away.
"The ranking does represent rebirth and victory over some incredibly difficult times," Bradley said. "There's so much pain to get through here. Thank God, we have this diversion."
Crazy Les pulled the Tigers through, of course. LSU triumphed again in New Orleans. That made it three victories in New Orleans in four years. LSU not only ruled college football, it ruled a ravaged city and helped uplift one ravaged soul.
On the floor of the Superdome amid another celebration 11 months ago I remember thinking, "I wonder if John Ed made it tonight?"

Vampire Weekend feared they made Trent Reznor mad at Grammys
Listen to Vampire Weekend on iHeartRadio | Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Tomson says the band's post-Grammy celebration was temporarily dampened when they thought they'd incured the wrath of Trent Reznor.
The Nine Inch Nails frontman sent out a tweet saying he felt disrespected after Sunday's ceremony. And with Vampire Weekend's victory over Reznor and company in the battle for the Best Alternative Album trophy, Tomson says, in a radio interview, that he and his bandmates momentarily feared that they were the ones who had disrespected Reznor.
But Trent was apparently directing his profane tweet toward the Grammy producers after his all-star performance with Lindsey Buckingham, Dave Grohl, and Queens of the Stone Age was cut short.

Here's my two cents...
proof that advertising works...
fortay: The word is forte!
Nice paychecks! :lol:
I can't spell but frequently know that a word is misspelt (mispelled)?
Yes the monthly cheque certainly is an inspiration to continue striving for the exhorbitant returns according to the marketing emails that bloat the inbox
Amazing that you can spell 'exhorbitant' but misspell misspelled! (BTW... misspelled is one of the most often misspelled words!)
May I use more than one sheet of paper, or is that cheating?
I'm sure there is at least one piece of paper there so I don't think it's cheating.
IIRC, there are eight - two of each colour in each half of the box - but it's a while since I made it, so I wouldn't swear to that. :)

"Misspelt" is an accepted alternative (and that's how it's pronounced in British English). [/ot]
Back on topic - A piece of paper
Decisions, decisions...
one from the display...
maybe from the store...
or even a roll from the shelf?
A paper aeroplane:
The world seen through a piece of paper
Clever - I like it. :tup: Nice shade of paper, too. :)
Clever - I like it. :tup: Nice shade of paper, too. :)
Thanks. It's white, a normal sheet of A4 printer paper rolled up The sun was almost in front of me (a bit to the right), the color is a result of the sunlight penetrating from the entrance and through the paper.
Very nice. How did you manage to capture it so neatly in flight?
And a very nice touch is the real plane in the right top corner
In that case, it's a lovely effect. :)
In that case, it's a lovely effect. :)
I would like to say quick reactions @guido00 ; but I cheated a bit. It was still very hard anyway as the wind was blowing hard and I only took this one photo and feel lucky to get it. I was trying for the plane in the background but as I say the wind was a pain and I could not get the setup I wanted.
Anyway I hung the paper aeroplane on cotton and then cloned the cotton out afterwards
Your rolled up paper was a good idea as well - I have been scratching my head for something to submit to this thread.
nice, Its made me nostalgic and Its remind my child hood game.
hahahaahh...it rally a great amount.

Antique and Vintage Piggy Banks
Piggy banks get their name from an orange-colored clay called pygg, which was used in the Middle Ages to make jars for storing staples such as salt. Sometime in 18th-century England, these jars had morphed into hollow containers with a coin slot, often shaped like a pig to make a visual pun on the name of the clay.
To retrieve the coins inside, one would have to smash the jar, which is why so few of these early pig jars, as they were known, have survived. In more modern times, removable plugs have spared piggy banks and made them the fun collectible they are today.
In the first part of the 20th century, ceramics manufacturers as prestigious as Belleek, Delft, and Quimper made piggy banks. Numerous Staffordshire, England potteries also made piggy banks. In the 1920s, the Ellgreave Pottery Company of Burslem produced its bow-tied Mr. Pig banks. Some had coin slots on the back of the head; others had slots along the front part of the pig's shoulder.
After the war, other Staffordshire potteries began to produce piggy banks, including Studio Szeiler, which became world famous in the 1950s for its tiny earthenware animal figurines, as well as its low-to-the-ground piggy banks, which were glazed in white with patches of tan or blue. Around the same time, George Wade & Sons created its round, Smiling Pig banks, which ranged in color from pastel green to bone white with delicate blue flowers.
Before Beswick was sold to Royal Doulton in 1969, it made a cigar-chomping high-rolling porker of a piggy bank, whose surface appeared drawn in graphite or colored pencil before being glazed. Finally, in the 1970s, James Sadler & Sons created cute little piggy banks that were decorated with kilts, overalls, and traditional caps.
Meanwhile, in The Netherlands, production potters in Makkum and Workum made souvenir piggy banks for the post-war tourist trade. Polish and Hungarian potters sold their piggy banks in department stores such as Vroom & Dreesman. Also inexpensive were the Mexican piggy banks, which were made of a very lightweight ware and featured a handle on their banks.
In the United States, piggy banks marched down the cute path and never looked back. From the 1930s on, American Bisque Company and American Pottery Company produced countless fig...
Brush Pottery was another piggy-bank producer. Known for its cookie jars and lawn ornaments, its piggy-bank heyday was the 1950 and '60s, when it made several variations of pigs in tuxedoes. Frankoma made piggy banks, as did Gonder Art Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio—its Sheriff piggy bank with a badge that reads "Money Guard" is especially collectible. Hull Pottery made dime banks with almost-round bodies and pastel glazes, while its famous Corky banks had corks in their noses (a pull-ring in the cork allowed an impatient child to get at his or her dimes in a hurry).
Maddux of California made banks that depicted running puppies, costumed bears, and, of course, pigs, and McCoy produced banks in the shape of Santa heads (the coin slot was in his red cap). McCoy also made countless coin containers that were given away by small-town or regional banks.
Because of their cartoonish appearance, piggy banks were naturally used as three-dimensional canvases for cartoon and children's characters. Shawnee made a Howdy Doody bank in 1950 for one year until it was ordered to cease and desist due to copyright infringement—these banks are thus highly collectible. ABC made banks depicting Fred and Wilma Flintstone, as well as many Disney characters.
There were Popeye banks, Muppets banks, Peanuts banks, and banks featuring the main characters from The Wizard of Oz. In the 1940s, Superman banks were produced; in the 1960s it was Batman and Robin's turn. In the 1980s, McDonald's banks ranged from Ronald's head to a ceramic version of the trademark McDonald's sack. And by the 1990s, video-game heroes Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser would also be immortalized in ceramic piggy banks.

Fondant will only bleed onto a cake if it is exposed to moisture. This can happen if you refrigerate your cake. Refrigeration causes condensation that can result in the fondant becoming sticky and/or bleeding onto the cake. If your cake is kept at room temperature, the fondant will not bleed onto the cake.

Our Daily Correspondent
Stupid IsBy Sadie Stein
Do people still read The Stupids, that classic series of children's books written by Harry Allard and James Marshall in the seventies and eighties? They must, right? They're too good. Making fun of fools may not be officially acceptable these days, but few books are so perfectly calibrated to a child's sense of humor. And I don't imagine most children are in any danger of confusing the Stupids' aggressively literal naïveté with real-life intellectual deficits. As the School Library Journal opined in a starred review of The Stupids Step Out, "Even youngest listeners will laugh with smug superiority as they follow these good natured dummkopfs from departure to journey's end."
But one naysayer—who gave the book a one-star review on Amazon—had this to say:
My seven-year-old recently brought this book home from his school library. I found it very offensive, because I think it teaches children that it's funny to call others "stupid." I cannot think of a circumstance in which it is appropriate for a child or an adult to use this word towards another person. I was so upset that I wrote a note to the school librarian.
In fact, "stupid" is an awfully harsh word. Read More

Edgard Gastmans studied at the art academy in Antwerp from the late 1950s. After some commercial design work, he debuted at the 'Bessy' department of Studio Vandersteen under Karel Verschuere in 1967. When Verschuere departed, Gastmans and Frank Sels assumed control over the 'Bessy' production. But after only a year, Gastmans joined Sels in the creation of Studio Sels, in order to produce 'Silberpfeil' for the German market.
Gastmans didn't stay long at the Sels studio, and then went back to drawing advertisements again. At the start of the seventies, he collaborated with Jef Nys on the series 'Jommeke', among other projects. Gastmans later started the series 'Willeke', which ran for six albums. For this series, which was largely based on 'Jommeke', Gastmans was eventually condemned because of plagiarism.

Gonna be shit hot listening to sonnen destroy jones then Whoop his ass in April
Gonna be shit hot listening to sonnen destroy jones then Whoop his ass in April
This is the most fun i can have without going to jail
still not enough to make me watch TUF again.....
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
I think it sucks. Sonnen gets a title shot at LHW after coming off a loss, when he's 2-2 in his last 4 fights (with one win being a close decision) all of which were at MW. It's not like the LHW contender pool is that shallow either. There are loads of fights I'd rather see before this. We also lose any chance of seeing the LHW belt defended for an extended period while TUF films?
Terrible decision.
At the end of the day whether your worthy counts for shit, the UFC are business and want to make money, the comedy value and viewing figures that Sonnen will bring to TUF will be huge.
Saves TUF for a brief time, ruins the point of working your way up the ladder for a title shot.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Didn't almost all top contenders turn the fight with Jones down....for now????
If Jones isn't available til April, surely Hendo would have been ready to go by then? Or get the winner of Gustafasson v Rua to step up, Sonnen deserves the shot less than my nan, its going to be like Silva v Bonnar, Jones will clown him.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Yea much as I like Sonnen's banter, I think this is an easy fight for Jones. Not only that, but as pointed out, Sonnen really doesn't deserve the shot. Mind you, there aren't many lining up to fight Jones, most of the 'top contenders' don't want any of him. Shogun and Machida don't want anything to do with Jones, and the only other option is Hendo. I can't see Jones-Hendo happening now at all tbh
Poor Hendo. The guy earns a shot then gets injured and somehow isn't due a shot when he's fit again? Bullshit. If he was younger it wouldn't be so bad but the guy hasn't got many shots left. Would be funny to see sonnen land his retarded spinning backfist on jones' smug face though.

Time's writer said Geni turns what can be a lonely pursuit into a collaborative effort with its information-sharing tools. "Geni makes it easier — and more fun — than ever to create and share your family tree."
More than 350 genealogists, "traders" (vendors), and volunteers traveled from all over New Zealand, Australia and the United States to attend the conference. We were impressed not only with the good humor and friendliness of all the attendees, but also the overall level of sophistication regarding genealogical research.
Besides us, 23 speakers lectured on topics geared to New Zealand research, which covered a broad range of ethnic groups representing New Zealand's melting pot: Irish, Scottish, English, Maori (indigenous peoples) and Chinese. If you have New Zealand ancestors, the society has a great online overview of resources. Also check out New Zealand GenWeb.At the banquet Saturday evening, Jim and I presented "Primetime's 20/20 Dateline: Sharon DeBartolo Carmack Interviews the World's Oldest Living Genealogist, Ole Smirnoff Bernatelli" featuring Jim as Ole, and it met with uproarious laughter. For Sunday's dinner, conference organizers Philip Worthington and Fiona Brooker, along with the genealogical society's executive officer, Peter Nash, treated us all to a hilarious version of "It's In the Bag," a popular game show in New Zealand. I was even one of the contestants, electing to take what was in the bag instead of the money—I won a calculator!
We thoroughly enjoyed the conference and meeting all the attendees. We even got to travel around the South Island of New Zealand in a pre-conference "holiday" with my newly married daughter, Laurie, and her husband, Dash.
The Newseum, a museum dedicated to the history of news and journalism, just opened its impressive new building at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. in April. That's the First Amendment inscribed into the front of the building.
Its six levels are packed with interactive exhibits and small theaters. My friends and I spent about four hours looking at everything, but I could have spent another day there easily. Especially in the area full of historical front pages (as seen at right). Declarations of war, unthinkable events and tragic assassinations are displayed alongside incredible achievements, joyous milestones and other turning points in our world's history.
The section devoted to coverage of Sept. 11, 2001, was also really
impressive. What looks like a sculpture is a twisted chunk of the radio
tower formerly atop the World Trade Center. The walls are lined by front pages from Sept. 12, and videos show news coverage from the day.
The National Portrait Gallery is an absolute powerhouse and a must-see museum even if you're not well-versed in art history. With free admission, there's no reason not to stop in when you're in Washington. The newly reopened atrium (above) is pleasantly cool and quiet even on sweltering summer days.
One big highlight of the collection is the permanent "America's Presidents" gallery. My personal favorite was Norman Rockwell's depiction of Richard Nixon. And it's interesting to see John F. Kennedy's portrait is the only openly abstract painting in the bunch.

California's schools are, in many cases, a child's first exposure to people different than their family members.
They might speak different languages, look different or believe in different things.
But legally, there's one thing their teachers cannot be: Communists.
In the Golden State, even being a member of the Communist Party is still a firing offense 59 years after the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings on communists in the federal government and 23 years after the end of the Cold War.
California Education Code Sec. 44932 outlines the reasons a school employee can be fired.
Firing offenses include immoral or unprofessional conduct, "criminal syndicalism," dishonesty, unsatisfactory performance, evident unfitness for service, a physical or mental condition making the employee unfit to instruct or associate with children, persistent violation of state or local school policies, conviction of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, alcoholism or drug abuse - or membership in the Communist Party.
"It's a remnant of the Cold War era and should have long been dropped from the Educational Code," said Juan Lopez, the California chairman for the Communist Party USA.
Communists aren't a registered political party in California, but they're still around, and in good numbers, he said.
"We have more teachers that have joined the Communist Party than any other professions," he said.
"More than anything, we laugh about it," said Luis Rivas, a member of the Southern California Young Communists League. "Historically, in the U.S., there's always been this pretty turbulent tension between the U.S. and Soviet Union."
And that's especially true in the Golden State despite California's contemporary reputation as a bastion of leftist politics.
"There's always been a very deep conservative strain, particularly in politics, in California," said Eileen Wallis, who chairs the history department at Cal Poly Pomona. "You've got to remember, we produced both Nixon and Reagan."
The Golden State actually beat McCarthy to the punch with anti-communist campaigns. State Sen. Jack B. Tunney's California Un-American Activities Committee's hearings predated McCarthy's by more than six years.
The prohibition against Communists isn't the only vestige of the Cold War affecting teachers.
"We are still required as public employees to take a loyalty oath to the state of California," Wallis said. "People in the CSU still occasionally lose their jobs for refusing to sign it."
Those who refuse to sign the oath typically do so for religious reasons, she said.
California's Communists don't advocate a violent overthrow of the government or the American system of governance, Lopez said.
"It's the people of our country that have to make a choice about the direction our country has to take," he said. "We obviously think a socialist USA would be better, but by `socialist,' we mean people, working people, in charge of the country instead of the corporations and the lobbyists."
Lopez, who has been active in Community Party circles for more than four decades, said the law hasn't been used to persecute any teachers, even those open about their political beliefs.
"The Communist Party has been on the forefront of the struggle to fight for public education and fight the cuts that have come down since recent years," he said.
"I know a few anarchist teachers and a few radicals in the school system," said Rivas. "I think most people tend to keep it quiet."
Local legislators aren't sure if teachers should be required to keep even their radical political affiliations a secret.
"There was a time when both Republicans and Democrats saw the Communist Party as a threat," said Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Hesperia. "Ronald Reagan was a Democrat who fought the communists who took over his union."
Donnelly is no fan of the political left, to put it mildly.
"The leadership of the Democratic Party in California have more in common with the Communist Party than they do with the Democratic Party of the JFK era," he said. "I find the idea of confiscating the wealth of hardworking people in order to fund all these socialist schemes of the Democrats who are in charge to be absolutely appalling."
But he opposes rules about who can or cannot be a teacher based on their political beliefs.
"I think we need to get rid of laws and repeal restrictions," he said. "I think if someone wants to think that way, it's a free country."
One of Donnelly's counterparts across the aisle agrees.
"There are many, many things that are still in the law that probably need to be removed, and that would be a monumental task," said Assemblywoman Cheryl R. Brown, D-San Bernardino.
"I think of it in terms of the (segregationist) Jim Crow laws," she said, "and there's still some of that in there. As soon as it's found, it's taken out."
In 2008, an attempt to repeal the ban on Communists in the classroom, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed S.B. 1322.
"Many Californians have fled communist regimes, immigrated to the United States and sought freedom in our nation because of the human rights abuses perpetuated in other parts of the world," Schwarzenegger's written response reads in part.
"It is important particularly for those people that California maintains the protections of current law. Therefore, I see no compelling reason to change the law that maintains our responsibility to ensure that public resources are not used for purposes of overthrowing the U.S. or state government, or for communist activities.
"For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill."
Lopez hopes to see the ban repealed some day.
"It should be repealed. Most definitely," he said. "It's a relic of the past that has no business being in the Education Code or anywhere else, for that matter. It's really a violation of our constitutional rights, civil liberties, and so on."
But his younger comrade isn't optimistic that the two dominant political parties will ever allow what he says they still consider a radical political belief into the classroom.
"Whoever controls the minds of the next generation, basically controls the future," Rivas said.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
It takes a special commitment to be a young hockey player in the Puget Sound area. The sport is rigorous and often punishing, team and individual expenses are high, and the hours spent traveling to practices, games and tournaments are many.
But the rewards are terrific.
Just ask the girls of the Washington Wild, a Tier II U19 hockey team that won a league title against a number of top Canadian squads, and then finished first at the six-state Pacific District tournament to qualify for this week's USA Hockey National Championships in San Jose, Calif.
The Wild had been eliminated by an Alaska team at districts the last two years, but on March 10 the Wild prevailed 2-0 in Anaheim, Calif. And as the final seconds ticked off and the celebration began, "it was the best moment of my life," said 15-year-old Lydia Grauer of Mukilteo, the team's leading scorer with 67 goals and 29 assists in 57 games.
"I was on the ice for the last few seconds and it was really awesome," said Grauer, a sophomore at Kamiak High School. "We've worked so hard and it was really great to finally beat Alaska (after losing the last two years). And going to nationals will be just amazing because we'll get to compete against the best teams in the nation."
Heading to nationals "is absolutely unbelievable," agreed 17-year-old Bailey Ingalls, a senior at Snohomish High School. "I already have senior-itis at school, and now it's so hard to focus because of nationals. It's definitely the highlight of my senior year. I'd totally put it above prom."
The Wild players are between 14 and 18 years old, with most residing in the greater Seattle area, though two are from Bellingham, one is from Richland, and one is from Medford, Ore. Snohomish County is represented by Grauer, Ingalls, Maddie Davis of Edmonds (Shorecrest) and Julia Takatsuka of Lynnwood (Meadowdale).
The Wild plays in the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, where they are one of seven teams — and the only American team — in their league. The team, which has a 51-7-4 season record, finally finished first after placing second and third the previous two seasons.
League home games are at an arena in Bellingham (cutting the travel distances for the Canadian teams), but road games are all in the greater Vancouver, B.C., area. The Wild has also traveled to six out-of-state tournaments, winning four and placing second twice.
The head coach is Les Grauer, Lydia's dad and a man with a long hockey background. He played at the University of Wisconsin for longtime college and pro coach Bob Johnson, where Johnson's son Mark and Bob Suter were Grauer's teammates before they headed off to win gold medals with the 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
Grauer began coaching the team in 2010, and the first two seasons were a time for the team's many young players to learn and develop. Injuries hampered the Wild a year ago — one player was lost to a compound arm fracture, and another dropped out after a concussion — but this season the team has surged.
"These types of seasons don't happen very often," Grauer said. "It's a function of a relatively healthy season and then adding a few (key players) to the core group that we already had. … It's not like we've been blowing a lot of teams away. There's just been a series of pretty close games where we seem to find a way to battle through and win."
As the team heads off to nationals, he added, "I'm cautiously optimistic. We're fortunate to play in a very competitive league and we've been battle tested throughout the season. I think we're as prepared as anybody, if not more so."
No one is quite sure how good the teams are from the upper Midwest and Massachusetts, two of American hockey's traditional hotbeds, but Les Grauer believes his team "will have an opportunity to win (a national championship). But every game is going to be tough and we'll just have to find ways to win."
Like their coach, the girls on the team are excited and believe they have a chance to do well.
"I don't want to jinx us (with a lofty prediction)," Ingalls confessed with a smile. "But we've worked so hard and put so much into this. And if we keep playing the way we've been playing, I think we have just as good a chance as anybody."
"I really have no idea about any of the other teams," said 17-year-old goalkeeper Julia Takatsuka, who got the shutout in the district championship win against Alaska. "But I'm really excited. We've trained so hard and I'm really confident in our abilities, so I really hope we can win."
"Even if we don't win, it's still a huge accomplishment just getting there," Lydia Grauer said. "Our team's goal this year was to win districts, so we've already accomplished our goal. But now we're going to nationals and that's amazing."

Tornados spread Christmas cheer to Transylvania CountyDecember 6, 2010
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados baseball team volunteered with the Twilight tour in downtown Brevard on Saturday, December 4th for the sixth consecutive year, while the entire Brevard College Athletic Department took part in the annual Brevard/Transylvania Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade.
The baseball team split up in three groups, filling up luminaries with sand and candles before lining the streets downtown. The groups also went around, making sure the candles stayed lit, as well as spending time interacting with the crowd, before coming back at the end of the evening to help with the cleanup.
Head Baseball Coach Matt McCay had the following to say, "This was a great opportunity for Brevard College Baseball to get out in the community and help be a part of a great festival and a great organization. The Heart of Brevard and the Parks and Recreation Department do such a great job of making this festival and Twilight tour a great event." He also commented, "We are just very happy that our players got an opportunity to give back and help out in setting up the luminary candles. This is such a great community and town and we are proud to help in any way we can."
The Tornados had over 300 student-athletes and staff members participate in the parade in what has become an annual tradition for Brevard College athletes to reach out to the community and share their holiday spirit as classes come to a close for the fall semester.

Bharara, appointed U.S. Attorney by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate, has served in the position since 2009. He was featured in a Time magazine cover story, "This Man is Busting Wall Street," and was also named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by the publication in 2012.
"Preet Bharara is truly a leader in the American legal system, and I am delighted that he will play a key role in this year's Fordham Law Diploma Ceremony," said Dean Martin.
As U.S. Attorney, Bharara oversees the investigation and litigation of all criminal and civil cases brought on behalf of the U.S. in the Southern District of New York and supervises more than 200 assistant U.S. Attorneys.
Bharara has also taught legal writing as a Fordham Law adjunct faculty member and has served as a guest speaker at various Law School events.

I just got BT5 installed and I love it, used to use BT3 and there I got my AWUS036H working great with a script where I just type wlan0up and wifi came up asking me if I would like to turn off other cards, and if I would change the mode, search for available net and if I would like to change my MAC on Alfa.
I think it was a script I got some help to make or someone on this forum made it. I really can't remember.
Now the problem now is that my AWUS036H does not work at all on my BT5 RC1
If I type airmon-ng start wlan0 it shows this:

Lacking any classroom training in hydrology, JMU junior Sean Porse felt a little odd stepping right into the middle of an ongoing hydrology research project on the shores of the Great Lakes in northern Michigan last summer.
"The first day I was out in the field, Dr. (Steve) Baedke was drawing diagrams in the sand on the beach right at Lake Huron, teaching me stuff," Porse said. "I was pretty much a fish out of water for a couple days, but it's a really good way to learn when you're put into a situation like that."
Joe Bell, a senior whose exposure to field research started in similar fashion a year earlier, agrees there's plenty of benefits to gaining practical experience ahead of classroom lectures: "Just because you don't have the geology courses, don't get intimidated and think you can't do field research. Get out there, do the research and the course work can follow."
And so can the rewards.
In October, Bell and Porse won the Austin A. Sartin Best Student Poster Award at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Philadelphia. The poster outlines their research into how the chemical composition of groundwater can reveal clues about the directions it flows as well as how various levels of surface and groundwater interact with each other.
Bell said traditional aspects of groundwater flow don't apply in the study areas — Michigan's Negwegon State Park in Alpena and Lake Superior State Forest in St. Vitals Bay — because, unlike the hilly terrain above ground, the water table is basically flat.
"So if you were to stick in traditional well measurements and head measurements, you couldn't get a good idea of which way water is flowing," Bell said. "And the project really tries to identify groundwater flow based on the chemical characteristics."
The research could provide answers for biologists and ecologists who find vegetation growing in areas they wouldn't expect to find it, as well as vegetation dying off in areas seemingly ideal for growth. The key, Bell said, is the groundwater's ability or failure to provide nourishment.
"As an ecologist, you would expect to walk through this study area and be able to pick out the plants and say, 'OK, this plant is here because of natural progression,' but they're coming across these areas where the plants don't belong. The plant is typical of one type of groundwater chemistry, and we have that chemistry because the way the highlands and the lowlands are set up, the deeper groundwater is flowing up."
Bell also says the research could guide decisions on whether to try to save wetlands in the study area. "Alternative modeling like this can be used to show that maybe this environment shouldn't be here to begin with; maybe the loss of this wetland is because that's the way it's supposed to be. The lake level has dropped to a point where it's no longer the main influence and we don't have this traditional regional flow, we have these microflows that are setting up and they're just not able to support wetlands anymore.
"So we shouldn't spend thousands or millions of dollars trying to save a wetland that naturally wants to become a forest."
That practical application and the cross-disciplinary nature of the research, which has benefits for biology and ecology as well as geology, was especially appealing to both undergraduates Porse and Bell.
"All the feedback that I got told me that this was really high-caliber research that I was doing," said Porse. "It's not as important that I received an award as it is that people consider the work that I did to be that worthwhile."
The research did not provide any insight into how their poster would fare at the national GSA meeting and both Bell and Porse were surprised at the results.
"I was completely taken aback by it," said Porse, who added that some people asked if he was working on a master's degree. And, he received a job offer.
Said Bell: "We were up against the big guns too. The schools out there across the country that have great geology programs — Michigan, from California, some of the big geology schools — most of them were there and we don't have anything more than an undergraduate program here. So it's a blessing that we get to work one-on-one with the professors."
Porse said he has been pleasantly surprised by the opportunities he has had in JMU's geology department. "The caliber of research here at JMU is really good. ... Taking classes on the stuff that I studied this summer makes it so much more interesting because I learned it out in the field and, now, this is where it all comes into play, how it all comes together. I can't praise the faculty enough for the job that they do teaching us and being there for us."

shoko - from mexico , mexico
The basketweave technique is a fun way to decorate your cakes, creating the illusion of a basket. You could certainly use cream cheese frosting, as long as the consistency is correct. Basketweave, requires a medium consistency icing so be sure that your cream cheese frosting is not too thin and not to thick or you will not acheive the desired effect.
If your frosting is too thin to hold the basketweave design, add some more confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. If your frosting turns out a little too stiff, you can thin it out by adding some more milk 1 teaspoon at a time. Cream cheese icing also firms up when it is refrigerated, so you can chill it slightly before piping. Just remember that it should be kept chilled to serve, too.

Suspected child pornographer from Troy caught - again - in Florida
Photo Courtesy Pinellas Park PD
UPDATE - 3/28 2:45PM - Pinellas Park Police in Florida have arrested Jesse Sawyer, Jr. after catching him early Friday morning then releasing him after a paperwork error. Troy Police have confirmed Sawyer's arrest.
Keep it on News Radio 810 & 103.1 WGY for continuing developments.
3/28 8:36AM - Police are speaking out over the detainment of a Troy man wanted for producing child pornography, who ended up back on the street after being detained.
Pinellas Park, Florida Police Sgt. Adam Geissenberger says they were forced to release Jesse Sawyer Jr. after failing to receive confirmation from the FBI that an arrest warrant had been issued.
Troy Police Chief John Tedesco isn't buying it. He says, "why didn't they just retain him? They knew there was probable cause for an arrest. Whatever the technical difficulties with the warrant happened to be, have those corrected."
Sawyer had been staying at a church homeless shelter. Geissenberger says once they received confirmation, they returned to the location but Sawyer was gone.
He's accused of producing pornography involving three girls under the age of 6.

Bristol, PA, December 20, 2012 -- AMI Entertainment Network is pleased to announced its year-end list of the most popular albums and songs on its digital jukebox network. AMI's jukeboxes are a hit with customers from every demographic, thanks to a massive music library that spans every genre of current and classic music. This year's lists represent a broad cross-section of popular music, covering both timeless favorites and chart-topping newcomers.
The most popular songs played on AMI's network in 2012 came from a variety of different genres, including country, pop, electronica, and classic rock. However, the honor of this year's most-played song goes to country sensation Jason Aldean and his "Dirt Road Anthem," from his hit album My Kinda Party. Nickelback's "Rockstar" came in at No. 2, followed by Eric Church's "Drink in My Hand" at No. 3. Party-rockers LMFAO ("Sexy And I Know It") and country star Toby Keith ("I Love This Bar") helped round out the top 5.
A number of new artists and albums also burst onto the music scene (and onto AMI jukeboxes) in 2012. The hottest new album on AMI's network in 2012 was fun.'s Some Nights, featuring the hit singles "We Are Young," "Some Nights," and "Carry On." Other albums that topped the list of AMI's most-played new albums were Tyga's Careless World: Rise of the New King, Skrillex's Bangarang EP, and Flo Rida's Wild Ones. Despite coming out relatively late in the year, K-Pop star Psy's "Gangnam Style" also made an appearance in the top 10 new albums at No. 8.
Although current artists like Eric Church and Jason Aldean featured prominently in the overall list of most popular albums, it was classic country star Johnny Cash who came out on top. The legendary country star's career-spanning 1999 album 16 Biggest Hits, released by Sony Records, secured the No. 1 spot on 2012's list of most-played albums.
AMI is also pleased to announce the availability of its Holiday Playlist, featuring a blizzard of holiday favorites perfect for any party or snowbound winter get-together. The playlist provides the perfect soundtrack to the holiday season, whether your tastes run to rock, pop, country, or golden oldies.

Labor is described in three stages, and together these stages complete the delivery and the passage of the placenta.
The first stage is the process of reaching full cervical dilatation. This begins with the onset of uterine labor contractions, and it is the longest phase of labor. The first stage is divided into three phases: latent, active, and deceleration.
The second stage is the delivery of the infant. During the second stage, mom actively pushes out the baby. For first time mothers, this can take two to three hours, so it's important to save your energy and pace yourself. For second babies and beyond, the second stage often lasts less than an hour – and sometimes, only a few minutes.
The third stage of labor is the passage of the placenta, which can be immediate, or take up to thirty minutes. The process may be sped up naturally by breastfeeding (which releases oxytocin), or medically by administering a drug called pitocin.

I don't think there's any physical risk to you.
Your Alfa won't have the power in it to fully utilise that antenna, so matter how big a stick you put on it I don't think it will harm you. I could be wrong - I don't know a great deal about the science behind wireless technologies - but it would have to have a significant higher current going through it to start radiating like you say.
I wouldn't worry.

We support skeletal animation through the [http://home.gna.org/cal3d/ cal3d] library but we also support our own skeletal animation system. Including support for 3D hardware based animation.

Revision as of 14:40, 2 May 2007
Feature Spotlight
This page was simplified due to massive amount of visits from other sites.
Version 1.1
Version 1.0
Terrain with Foliage
Funny Shaders
Skeletal Animation and Dynamic Shadowscal3d library but we also support our own skeletal animation system. Including support for 3D hardware based animation.
Upcoming Version 1.2
This is a preliminary list and subject to change.
For the upcoming 1.2 release we are working on an imposter system. Basically this means that objects that are far away will be replaced automatically with a single procedural texture. This will help gain speed in wide open areas (like landscape or space based games) with very little effort for the game developer or artist.
Most 3D worlds typically contain a lot of static geometry (i.e. houses and hills that don't move). In such situations the PVS visibility culler will help by precomputing visibility in a separate tool. At runtime it will then become very easy to calculate which objects are visible from a given camera position.
New Terrain
We are also working on a new improved terrain engine. One of the most important improvements of this new terrain engine is better paging support.
Complete featurelist
- Generic
- Highly platform independent with good platform abstraction. Officially supports Linux, OSX and Windows using a wide range of compilers.
- Modularized using a lightweight component framework, SCF, based upon the COM model.
- Self contained so that many modules requires no or few external dependencies.
- Written in standard C++ using very few non*standard extensions. Source available under LGPL license.
- Comprehensive and competent
- Contains modules for 2d and 3d graphics, sound, collision detection and dynamics via ODE and bullet as well as support modules for filesystem abstraction, xml loading etc.
- Graphics subsystem:
- Generic renderer abstraction with main implementation being OpenGL based.
- Supports hardware accelerated rendering on all supported platforms and cards from all well known vendors.
- OpenGL renderer uses acceleration techniques such as vertex buffers in AGP or VRAM and asyncronious uploads.
- Shader centric design with shaders defined in xml markup and shader programs implemented using Cg, assembly language or fixed function operations.
- Complicated shaders can be constructed using a meta syntax as composed by simpler modules that gets combined on load.
- Library of common shaders such as normal mapping, parallax (virtual displacement) mapping and hardware skinning.
- Contains a software renderer with scaled down features for platforms without OpenGL and/or debugging.
- Mesh objects:
- Plugin based mesh object system
- Generic triangle based mesh with support for frame and bone based animation.
- Terrain mesh with fast block based LOD system.
- Configurable and extensible particle system mesh.
- General system for static LOD on all types of meshes.
- Bone based animation mesh using the cal3d library.
- Collision detection and dynamics:
- Provides bindings for ODE and bullet dynamics systems.
- Automatic setup of collision detection meshes and syncronization of position and orientation of meshes.
- Simplified collision detection when you don't need the full dynamics simulation
- Sound system:
- 2D and 3D sound rendering via DirectSound, Alsa, OSS and CoreAudio.
- Provides both one*time playing of effects and streaming playing in the background for music.
- Other:
- Filesystem abstraction layer, VFS, that handles both physical files on disk and files within ZIP files, giving virtual layout independent from platform and physical layout.
- Abstracted configuration layer with support for settings in configuration file, system dependent storage such as the registry and command line.
- Compatible
- Custom model and scene file format with exporters for Blender and 3d studio max and model importers for common file formats such as 3ds and md2.
- Supports all common texture file formats including dds, jpg, png as well as some more exotic ones such as mng (animated texture format).
- Sound loaders for wav and ogg formats.
- All subsystems easily extendable for new file formats.
Crystal Space vs the Other Graphics Rendering Engine
Often, Crystal Space is compared with OGRE, and "Crystal Space or Ogre?" is a question a lot of people that wish to venture in realtime 3D graphics probably face sooner or later. Naturally, people from one or the other community have a biased opinion; Walt Collins looked at both sides and wrote a comparison between CS and Ogre.

When I type the following command while john is running I get the following.
# john -status=john
guesses: 0 time: 8:20:31:52 0%00% (3) c/s: 4068
I don't know how to interpret this but it looks like nothing is happening.
When I press the space bar on the terminal window it does give me the current PW it's tryng.
If I cat the john.pot file it shows me some passwords.
However when I type the following I get the following,
john --show john
4 password hashes cracked, 0 left
The john program continues to work, as I mentioned when I press the space bar it shows me the current try.
I also know that that the shadow file has more passwords. I can see names in the list with encrypted pw's in it.
I have been running this for about 2 months. Can anyone help me to understand the results of my various commands.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The staff were organised, friendly and obliging. The room was perfect for our requirements and good value for money. The whole building was spotlessly clean and breakfast on the terrace was a lovely relaxing experience.
Maybe the price is a little bit dear. Far enough from restaurants and shops.
Nice friendly owners and staff
Very friendly people. The accommodation is quiet and comfortable. The shower water pinks like needles, and there's no way to adjust.
A welcoming personal service from friendly family based hotel. Simple accomodation and breakfast but perfectly adequate. Beautiful sea views and balconies. Good bus service and easy walk to local restaraunts.
friendly people,. big balcony, easy parking proximity to the airport i suppose breakfast was a bit basic, bread and cheese, but i rarely eat breakfast anyway.
It was family run and very friendly.
The hotel was very clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast good. The rooms could do with modernization. The hotel management had a lot of rules for the guests.
Hotel was clean, there was a breakfast and it was near the sea. Owner is a bit grumpy. Hotel is old, price is too high for what u get. No airconditioning.
the best family hotel i ever stayed, warm meeting, pleasant, very helpful.
Good breakfast. Very simple accomodation. Not for long stay.
Very kind and helpful owners doing their best for the guests. Good location right in front of the sea and very close to Zadar. The room was clean and comfortable. We liked the private parking suc as the free WiFi.
Big rooms, clean towels every day, close to the beach, pleasant atmosphere and nice breakfast
Very warm welcome by the owners.Nice place with very clean and comfortable rooms.This is our first time staying in this hotel.We absolute loved our stay and look forward to going back.
It is a simple, but nice hotel. Easily accesible. Sukosan is a good village to stay in if you want to visit Zadar or even Pag. Nice views. Very nice owners. Good and complete breakfast (excellent marmalade), in a nice porch. Some moskito bites during breakfast...! Not very good TV signal.
Breakfast simple but OK. The householder was nice and helpfull. We stayed in a very small room (possible it was a single but given for 2 adults) and not renovated. The furniture was old, bathroom very close to the bed, practically no space for the luggage around the bed. They have 2 categories of rooms, our friends were more lucky and they got a renovated room, a little bigger.
Friendly and helpful owners.. NA
friendly staff. Excellent room, which was great value for money.
Very friendly host, nice breakfast on the terras, nice clean ensuite room with private terras. The location is rather hard to find...
Close to swimming beach, friendliness of family. I called from bus stop for directions as I hadn't printed the directions available form their website) They missed the call but called back 2 min later and picked us up 5 min later.
Friendly and very helpful
We didn't arrive at the Villa until late at night after a flight from Stockholm and the hosts were waiting for us but they didn't have the room ready for us and we had to wait while they found the key. The room and bathroom was comfortable and fitted our needs. In fact since we have travelled for the next few days we have discovered that Villa Vilma was the only one with English speaking cable tv. The hosts were welcoming but they spoke very little English. The Villa is more like a B & B catering for guests in their own home. You have your breakfast in their lounge room which was fine for us but wouldn't appeal to a lot of people.
Clean little hotel and very friendly staff!Awersome breakfast!
Nice people, clean room, breakfast ok, quiet neighboorhood and close enough to some great places in Kroatia. I book there again for our next trip to Kroatia.
great staff, great location close to beach.

In some cases we've seen cards using the rt2800usb drivers (such as the AWUS036NH and AWUS036NEH ALFAs) act strange with the BT5R1 kernel. If this happens to you, you can try installing a recent compat-wireless and building it on your own. This specific version will work:
without card connected.
root@bt:~# ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/184.108.40.206/build

Conect your wireless card
....... source BTR1!
We can added the modprobe rt2800usb to start automatically
nano /etc/rc.local
put: modprobe rt2800usb without #, save and reload!
The next time that you start BT5R1 rt2800usb start automatically and you can work without problems.
After used several time BT5R1 don't work again, I don't know what happened, but I reinstalled BT5R1 like 5 times and update it , don't work more my AWUS036NEH with rt3070.
Now I installed WifiWay 2 and the ALFA CARD works FINE!, maybe WifiWay are the best choice for people that have AWUS036NEH with RT3070 (rt2800usb).
I expect an update soon from BT team.

I site I just completed (http://sudburypando.com) looks just fine in my browser. However, when I go on my iPhone or iPad, the right side is cutoff. I've been trying to fix this bug for hours without success. Does anyone know what I'm overlooking?
You have a min-width on your body of 1180px. Even if that wasn't set it would struggle to resize with the wide header image, it won't just shrink with the device. It may be worth looking at Media Queries to style things differently depending on layout- http://www.netmagazine.com/tutorials/build-responsive-site-week-media-queries-part-4
Nice looking site though.
I added the min-width properly after to try to fix the problem. Didn't work though
Its these fixed widths that are the problem. The whole site is fixed to this width and so it won't scale with with the browser window, ideally you want to use percentages
If the width on this rule is changed to 77% and the min-width is removed the sections under the banner float nicely:
.homepage { margin: 0 auto; width: 1180px; [Change to 77%]}
html, body { height: 100%; min-width: 1180px; [Remove]}
Please back up before you do anything
Put this in the head of your pages:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0">
It forces mobile devices to fit your page into the viewport.
Tried that too. All that did was make things worse.
I can't fix change the width to 77%, because that will only work with the design at a specific resolution. I want it to be 1180px wide.
But that is what you are doing by specifying the fixed width of 1180px. It won't go any smaller and scale with the browser window.
