text: Mighty Masu 20 April 2011 Written by Jeremy Zoss, The Journal. April 2011 Japanese pop culture has a long history of "combining mecha," a trope in which multiple robots combine into a bigger, more powerful form. These amalgamated machines can defeat any adversary in their way, and their exploits have been translated for American audiences for decades. That may seem like a strange analogy for a restaurant, but it's surprisingly fitting for Masu Sushi & Robata. The new Japanese restaurant in Northeast brings together a notable assembly of culinary talent, and the comparison doesn't stop there. The menu offers up a diverse selection of Japanese foods. The décor combines traditional Japanese symbols with modern American style. There's an awareness of both time-honored traditions and sustainability for the future. With so many elements converging into one restaurant, it's no wonder that Masu makes thoughts turn to Voltron.While many restaurateurs might be annoyed at being compared to a cartoon, the minds behind Masu will likely be pleased to hear it. After all, the concept behind the eatery was to create a different kind of Japanese restaurant. "We want fun and energy," said David Shea of marketing and design firm Shea, Inc. "We don't design restaurants. We design experiences. And Masu is an experience. It's approachable, it's got lots of light, lots of energy. We wanted to give the market something different." Something different is exactly what diners will get. Sure, it features Japanese-inspired décor, but there's a twist to the familiar sushi house aesthetic. The raised glass fish cases of the average sushi bar are nowhere to be seen. Instead, the fish is housed behind a high, curved wooden bar — visible from any seat without impeding conversation. The energy behind the bar is kicked up even higher by a team of bartenders crafting clever cocktails inspired by the cuisine. Artisanal sake bottles hang upside-down behind the beer taps from a custom dispenser rack. Sleek modern furniture shares space with designer Munny toys customized by local artists. While the sleek, stylish dining room sports a view of the open kitchen and gleaming chrome Robata grill, the bar area terminates in a wall of bright, bleeping Pachinko machines. And, of course, custom anime graphics are sprinkled throughout — even in the bathrooms. Like any animated hero, Masu has an origin story, one that began with Sushi Avenue, the Eagan-based company that supplies fresh sushi to supermarkets and grocery stores around the country. Sushi Avenue's President and CEO Nay Hla contacted David Shea about developing a brand for a new restaurant venture, and Shea suggested the James Beard Award-winning Chef Tim McKee to design the menu. He agreed. With McKee on board, the Masu team continued to grow. McKee tapped La Belle Vie's mixologist Johnny Michaels to design the cocktails. Sushi Avenue's award-winning chef Stephan Hesse came on board as corporate executive chef, and Katsuyuki "Asan" Yamamoto, best known for his 15 years at Origami, was hired as executive sushi chef. Rounding out the team is Executive Chef Alexander Chase, whose years of travel throughout Asia and experience in some of the world's best kitchens made him a natural choice for the job. The assembled talent alone will give serious foodies reason enough to stop into Masu, but this isn't a restaurant just for them. The menu is designed to be affordable, as well as welcoming to those who are uncomfortable to the somewhat alien notion of raw fish. "Japanese food is a growing interest in the U.S., but there's still a whole section of people who would never go to a sushi restaurant," says McKee. "That's where the robata and noodle dishes come in. The noodles are really fantastic." While several other Japanese restaurants offer noodle dishes, Masu features more than a dozen, with noodles sourced from the same supplier used by many of California's most popular noodle restaurants. Similarly, few local restaurants offer Izakaya, small plates of Japanese comfort food. But perhaps most approachable to those new to Japanese cuisine is the robata grill, from which diners can choose various vegetarian, meat and seafood options which are skewered and cooked over a specialized wood charcoal grill. "In a lot of American grilling, it's all about giving the food that smokey flavor," McKee said. That's not the intent of robata. In robata, the focus is on the heat." Masu Sushi and Robata officially opened to the public April 18. Of course, all the assembled talent means nothing without food that calls to the diners. As expected, Masu does not disappoint. Sushi lovers will be thrilled by artfully created sushi that looks as good as it tastes. Those looking for an alternative will love the robata grill creations, with highlights such as the grilled eggplant, the gorgeous tsukune chicken meatball and, naturally, the selection of bacon rolls that includes bacon wrapped around choices like asparagus, jumbo shrimp or a creamy, delicious quail egg. Adventurous drinkers will love Johnny Michael's Gummi Sours — vibrant and flavorfully powered by the Japanese alcohol shochu. We recommend the ginger-peach "Happy Gummi" or the wasabi-grapefruit "Angry Gummi" for something really unique. Like a giant robot towering above a city skyline, Masu's arrival on the dining scene has immediately drawn a lot of attention, and it's easy to see why. The space inside crackles with energy, which will soon spill out onto the sidewalk when the planned outdoor patio opens. The menu offers up a selection of food that's alternately delicate and subtle and bold and exciting.

AvalonBay Communities (NYSE:AVB) — This real estate investment trust (REIT) specializes in upscale apartment communities. An improving U.S. economy with high apartment occupancy levels should result in higher rental rates for AVB, and new development activities will be an important driver of earnings in 2012.
The 2012 forecast for funds from operations (FFO) per share has been adjusted upward to $5.40 versus $4.57 in 2011 since it was highlighted in our April Top Stocks to Buy. AVB also has a dividend yield of 2.84%, which is expected to increase.
On March 30, the stock broke from a multiple top with a trading objective of $150 and made it to over $149 before profit-taking and a broad market sell-off drove it down.
On May 18, with the stock at $138.21, the Trade of the Day said, "Both longer-term investors and traders should consider AVB as a buy if it falls to $135. Our longer-term target remains at $175."

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he wants to get wide receiver Dez Bryant the ball more often. What does a team's owner have to do with putting the ball in Bryant's hands? That's yet to be determined although Jones obviously has a point. Bryant hardly saw the ball at all in Week 10 caught just one of his two targets in a blowout loss to the Saints.
Fantasy Analysis:
Bryant is on pace to to have fewer receptions and yards than he did last year. He's still producing like a Top 10 fantasy WR, but many fantasy owners hoped he'd make the leap into truly elite Megatron status. That's still possible though. A strong finish to the season, maybe a push into the postseason. Bryant already proved last year that he can get hot and finish the season on a really positive note. Either way, he's a must-start every week, even after a poor game.

text: The 'New' Sales Force July 26, 2013 10:25 PM Tweet In addition to seed, farmers now seek guidance from salespeople for all of their growing needs. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Guest Editor Farm Journal Email A professional, highly trained network of seed reps strives to maintain a high level of trust with farmers By Maria Brown Just as seed has evolved with time, so too has the buying and selling experience for farmers and the seed companies with which they do business. Today, farmers make crucial planting decisions with the help of a diverse and knowledgeable sales force. For decades, the traditional farmer–dealer dominated farm country. Going back a century ago, those farmers played a key role in the adoption of hybrid technology. "Farmer–dealers were not only selling the seed but also demonstrating it for their neighbors. The system worked quite well," explains Jeff Johnson, head of strategy and growth in the Syngenta dealer channel. Eventually, a myriad of factors forced both farmers and seed companies to rethink the traditional seed transaction. The use of mechanized equipment and the onset of global markets combined to create a greater economic intensity in farming and pressure the old network. Spring seasons with a short planting window were especially challenging on the farmer–dealer, Johnson adds. Focused on more than seed. The typical salesperson who was once a hobbyist is now a business professional, says Shane Barney, dealer manager with Beck's Hybrids. "As the seed industry grows and becomes more complex, there are more opportunities for farmers to diversify. As a result, a more professional seed dealer started to make more sense," he notes. There's also an expectation that a more focused sales force can go beyond marketing seed. Selecting varieties for planting is just one of many important decisions a producer makes each season as part of a systematic approach to crop production. "Farmers really like to talk to one person about their seed needs—where to plant and place the seed and what other products they need to maximize production. It's about having a whole farm solution," says Tom Volk, an area business manager with DeKalb and Asgrow brands in eastern Nebraska. As a result, today's seed sales force includes people with an array of experience—from husband and wife teams and fresh-out-of-college graduates armed with agronomy degrees to former farmers and seasoned salesmen and women from other agribusiness sectors. With that diversity comes the need for companies to ensure their field representatives are well-equipped to meet customer demands. Of course, familiarizing salespeople with product lines is essential, but these days they're also expected to hone their skills and know-how in agronomy, business management and new technology. Traditional values endure. Regardless of the changes in seed sales, companies are confident they can continue to deliver the service and expertise that farmers expect. According to Syngenta's Johnson, it's crucial for their seed advisers to maintain the trust that was a trademark of the farmer–dealer model. "Farmers make significant economic investments in their seed, and they have to trust the person selling it," he says. DeKalb and Asgrow's Volk, who has close to 20 years of sales experience, says that transactions are based on healthy relationships with farmers. Like any good relationship that means taking the time to effectively communicate with customers. "We prefer to have open, honest discussion with our farmers about their expectations," Volk adds. "We feel like we're more effective if we clearly understand the needs of the grower." Beck's Hybrids boasts a diverse sales team, but Barney explains that the common thread that makes them all successful is their dedication to the job and the farmers they serve. "It's the dealers who care the most about their customers and are willing to go the extra mile—the ones who will get out of bed at 10 at night to deliver that last bag or two of seed or who will walk fields in the heat of the afternoon. Those things are not required, but that's what will get them the business," Barney says.

Practical Application: A Day Without Judgment
Dr. Oz advises letting go of your judgments on your road toward better health. And it kind of works.
Following Dr. Oz's advice, I worked to develop my empathy, make better word choices, do push-ups whenever anger overtook me. In the supermarket, as the line crawled behind a woman paying with exact change, I told myself she was going through rocky times, what with inflation and all. When my son once again left his parka on the floor, I reminded myself that the teenage years are tough, and it's sometimes hard to keep track of everything. I struggled against my quick temper; I imagined the troubles of others. At the end of the day, when I fell ass-over-teakettle on an icy patch outside a store, I reminded myself that my local economy was deep in a recession, and people were surely trying their best to keep the ice at bay. I rolled over and did eight push-ups, which Oz suggests as a means of acknowledging the physiological response to anger.
I uncovered a pattern that day, of me burying my anger in sarcasm. So I vowed to up the empathy and avoid words like never and always, which reinforce the perceptions that provoke anger. I felt less encumbered and sensed that I could do better by the world the next day, too. (Even though everybody always pays with nickels and my kid never picks up a goddamn thing.)

attentiveness and friendliness of staff
The staff were very helpful within reason. It is extremely well located next to the bus terminal for provincial ++ destinations plus Dorval (PET) airport and the subway system as well as a reasonably good nightlife area with a variety of bars and restaurants at good rates servicing the University students in the area. The hotel has two free internet points in the lobby using up to date portables. Many people seem to bring their own laptops but it is still very useful for those who don't travel wired. The breakfast was bare bones to the minimum. The hotel room's electrical accessories were old and missing pieces like TV channel changers. The hotel is stuck between being a hostel and a hotel and the room price seems at odds with some of the services (see breakfast above) and its clientel (many European and other nationality "student travelers".
Staff was really friendly and got to know their customers
It was clean and staff was friendly. The price was high compared to a nicer hotel down the street, and the street of the hotles location was bad, full of crack heads and thiefs.
most of all, the staff. Very nice and eager to talk and assist.
Staff were extremely friendly and courteous
Being new in Montreal, the staff were very helpful in making our stay comfortable with a smile at all times.
Great people and great service. The people who work there make this place special. You are part of the family. They want to make everything possible for your stay to be memorable. It is right next to the Central Bus Station. However, three are not that much noise.
A very good location and nice and friendly staff.
Extremely helpful staff and a very attractive interior
Very friendly and helpful staff, a nice, simple hotel, close to the city centre. The room was bit stuffy and could have used a bit more ventilation, however it was not bad otherwise.
Clean, comfortable rooms with full baths. Staff very helpful and friendly. Free parking a definite plus. One block from major subway hub station. Excellent supermarket nearby. Modest breakfast. Neighborhood may be considered by some guests as less than desirable.
The hotel is quaint and centrally located. It provides easy access to major amenities and is close to shopping and dining areas of the city.
Value for money Too tiny room
It was nice and clean and quit the workers were grate and frendly and when I wanted help to find places they were so grate and I speak english and they did a good job for me to understand what they were saying and that is rare in montreal but your people were grate and thank you for that ,, that made my stay much easer and felt welcome I will surely stay there again any time I go back to montreal
A very friendly staff and great location
Parking free and was near to town facilities/attractions No tea/coffee facilities provided. Area poor/seedy. Hotel not really up to standard for price.
The location of the hotel, close to Quartier Latin and Vieux Montreal, is excellent. The rooms have recently been renovated and are kept very clean. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast room was crowded.
Good staff Dark room overlooking yard
Inexpensive, clean, staff helpful. Very firm mattress, which is essential for me. Internet hookup. Basic kitchen, which I could have used, but didn't need on this trip. window doesn't open enough, which made it hot, but there was a good fan.
the location was very convenient for shopping and access to the "Just for laughs' festival. no air conditioning
Clean, friendly, not noisy, cheap for location. No air conditioning and no flow of air through the room - made it very hot and humid at night.
Location and price I let the hot water run for 10 minutes and it never even got warm. I had to take a freezing cold shower!
The very central position, available for all my interests Not being able to open the windows in the room; could turn bad for a claustrophobic
It was a small room, but it had everything I needed including a stove, mini-fridge, dresser and desk. It was very clean, and an excellent choice for the price. There were no services (cleaning room, mini-shampoo, towels, ect.) unless requested for, but they did have it available.
Nothing July 9, 2010
location, functional design of unit, cleanliness - no information about the associated parking, especially which area to park in when staying at the residences - it was so hot during my stay; I wonder if fans could be made available to guests - waiting in line, the persons in front of me were having difficulty explaining themselves in English where the question related to the availability of a toaster for their room - since some rooms have kitchenettes, it would be helpful to know what, if any, small appliances were available (at no change/deposit/or nominal fee) - a microwave or toaster would be helpful, especially for a family
The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The location was ideal. Excellent value for money.
The location is great! In the centre of Montreal and near to most tourist attractions. You don't even needed a car if you stay hear. Rooms were in good conditions. For the price you pay I think they're more than excellent. This is a resident for college students and the beds were not confortable. I don't think my back would had standed it any longer.
I did not like the hotel and left after one night even though my reservation was for four. the rooms are very small and unequipped. there is a kitchenette but nothing in it. there is nothing in the room but a bed. I reserved an apartment and while there I found out I am expected to share a bathroom, even though there is no reference to it in the site...

Microsoft CEO Ballmer Roars at Shareholder Criticism, Defends Innovation Record
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
(Source: Reuters)
Amid low share prices, Ballmer received a chilly reception from some shareholders at their annual meeting
At Microsoft Corp.'s (
) annual shareholder Wednesday, the company's at-times boisterous Chief Executive Steven "Steve" Ballmer brought in Microsoft's "big guns" -- former
Microsoft CEO, co-founder, and tech icon Bill Gates
and Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein. But at the meeting of 450 shareholders, Mr. Ballmer did not need to enlist the help of his fellow Microsoft elite, who remained silent even as the meeting turned chilly,
according to
reporters in attendance.
Amid tough questions from the audience, Mr. Ballmer was candid in his assessment that Microsoft was a late-comer to the tablet game, but he told the audience in a fiery defense that he saw "nothing but a sea of upside" for

. He comments, "We're innovating on the seam between software and hardware. Maybe we should have done that earlier. [But] I feel pretty good about our [current] level of innovation."
Indeed, Microsoft has some defenders in odd places. Stephen "Steve" Wozniak, better known as the "Woz", was once a ferocious critic of Microsoft and evangelist for Apple, Inc. (
), the company he co-founded. But today he said in a recent
interview that
he fears for Apple
because Microsoft has become more innovative.

Others might disagree.
While Mr. Ballmer pointed optimistically to
Windows Phone sales
quadrupling on a year-to-year basis, the platform is still estimated to only own 2 to 4 percent of the global market, well behind Apple and market leader Google Inc. (
). While Microsoft dreams of "pulling a Google" and rising to the top of the stack, it currently is resigned to vying with embattled Research in Motion, Ltd. (
for the third-place spot
But when it came to shareholder criticism, the harshest questions came not about Microsoft's products, but rather why its share price was so low. Indeed, Microsoft shares trade at an order of magnitude lower than their Google and Apple counterparts. (To be fair Microsoft has significantly approximately 9 times as many shares as Apple, and 25 times as many as Google). Apple recently passed Microsoft in market capitalization and today has a total stock value that is
more than twice that of Microsoft's.
Steve Ballmer dodged the share value question, remarking, "I understand your comment... [but Microsoft has] done a phenomenal job of driving product volumes... The stock market's kind of a funny thing."
Funny indeed, but the shareholders might have been less than amused. Mr. Ballmer did placate the critics slightly by pointing to
Microsoft's $10B USD profit sharing effort
which includes share buybacks and quarterly dividends.
Currently, Microsoft shares are trading at around their levels from a decade ago, having risen roughly 18 percent in 2012. In other words, despite the criticism, shareholders should be pleased to an extent that Microsoft outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 average of an anemic 3 percent in gains.

This is my first post on this forum... and considering the issues I had finding a good wireless adapter and general laptop to run BT5r3 on, I thought I would post some good news on a new laptop I purchased and setup for pen. testing.
The Acer Aspire S3 series with the Atheros AR5BWB225 Wireless adapter works flawlessly out of the box. This seems like a great machine so far, with an Intel Core i7 chip, 4GB of RAM, 250GB SSD drive, and 8 hour battery life. Only thing it is missing is a wired ethernet adapter (and a backlit keyboard for late night work :-) )
Anyway, just thought I would share this for those of you looking into which laptops are a good fit for BT5.
btw: Dual booting with Win7 and also running in VMWare Player inside Win7 - all 64bit.

Report: Ballmer wins Clippers bidding war
(Los Angeles, CA) -- Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer may be in line to be the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. The "LA Times" reports he has won a bidding war to acquire the franchise with a record-setting bid of two-billion-dollars. Embattled owner Donald Sterling gave wife Shelly power to sell the team after he was given a lifetime ban by the NBA after recorded racist comments he made against African-Americans went public last month. The NBA's Board of Governors is scheduled to meet Tuesday.
The proposed sale price would set a record for an NBA franchise. If the sale is approved by league owners, it would be the second-largest sale price of a professional sports team in North America. Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers sold for 2.1-billion-dollars in 2012.

Trevor Luker and Colonel Hareb Al Dhaheri, Project Manager of the United Arab Emirates Technical Training Project/UK
Four students from the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) Technical Training Project (TTP) have been given special awards for excellence.
The TTP, funded by the UAE Military, sends over 1000 students annually to the UK to study BTEC National Diplomas and Higher Nationals in a wide range of Engineering and other subjects.
After studying, the students are able to apply their engineering training directly as qualified technicians in their relevant discipline.
The four students chosen to receive special recognition awards were:
Ten other students were also recognised at the event, which marked the UAE-TTP's 10th graduation ceremony.
Trevor Luker, Edexcel's Director of UK and International Education, who spoke at the event, said: "These special awards were created for the UAE-TTP to recognise achievement for students involved in Edexcel's BTEC National and Higher National Diploma range of programmes in Engineering. The UAE-TTP's endorsement of these qualifications demonstrates how highly regarded and valuable BTECs are to learners and employers worldwide."
Also attending the ceremony were: Mrs Phyllida Stewart-Roberts OBE (The Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex); His Excellency Staff Major General Saeed Mohamed Khalef Al Romaithi (Head of Administration & Manpower, UAE Armed Forces GHQ Abu Dhabi); and Colonel Hareb Al Dhaheri ( Project Manager of the United Arab Emirates-Technical Training Project/UK).
Edexcel offers a wide range of Engineering qualifications from a double award GCSE, through to a BTEC Foundation Degree in disciplines such as electronic and mechanical engineering. For further details, visit Edexcel's website: www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/.

A group of students from St Patrick's Senior School in Kenya visited the London offices of Edexcel as part of a trip to the United Kingdom recently. The school had just completed its first year as an Edexcel centre and the director of the school, Mrs Ella Kangethe, wanted the students to see the headquarters of the organisation that was responsible for marking their examination scripts. The students were amazed to hear that Edexcel was currently trialling a programme to send students their results via their computers.

KUCHING: Twinteach Sarawak yesterday received the accreditation from the National Accreditation Board (LAN) for its BTEC-Higher National Diploma (HND) in Business and BTEC-Higher National Diploma (HND) in Computing Programme.
The certification presentation ceremony was held at the Hilton here. On hand to receive the accreditation certificate from Twinteach's Chief Executive, Azri Nor Abdul Rahman was the Chairman of Twintech Sarawak College, Professor Datuk Dr. Ismail Md Salleh.
Though it is not compulsory for private higher educational institutions in the country to obtain accreditation for a course of study, Twinteach Sarawak has long aimed for accreditation to reflect its strong commitment in providing quality education.
This is in line with Twintech Sarawak's aspiration to be highly visible and recognised for its quality and industry relevant business and computing programmes at diploma levels for students residing in east Malaysia and the region, said Dr. Ismail.
The certification is also a reflection of excellence in quality with their partner for BTEC-Higher National Diploma in Business programme, that is Bradford College, United Kingdom, an associate college of the University of Bradford, he added.
The stakeholders can be rest assured of the competitive advantage to be affiliated with the BTEC-Higher National Diploma in Business Programme offered by Twintech.
Students being the most prominent stakeholders are assured of quality in the curriculum, the teaching and support staff and the accreditation also allows for credit transfer to be made when the students are accepted into public universities in the country.
Students studying the course are also qualified to apply for financial aid and scholarships, particularly from government agencies. Twintech Sarawak is also an approved loan centre for Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi National (PTPTN) and Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA).Graduates of the accredited course area also qualified for employment in the public sector as LAN is recognised by the Malaysian Public Service Department (JPA).

Jim Knight: quality the priority with new qualifications
Schools Minister Jim Knight told MPs he saw a future for the A-level within a "three-pronged offer" for youngsters.
But existing vocational qualifications would then "wither on the vine" as the partially academic Diplomas took over.
Members of the Commons education select committee had asked him how much of the Tomlinson report - on replacing current qualifications - was being implemented.
The first five Diplomas are being taught from September 2008, building up to 14 Diplomas in different employment-related areas by 2013 across the country.
'T word'
Committee chairman Barry Sheerman teased Mr Knight about the Diplomas' origins in the government-commissioned inquiry into 14 to 19 learning by the former chief inspector of schools, Sir Mike Tomlinson.
"What about the T word, minister?"
"Ah, him," said Mr Knight.
He said the government was implementing a large number of Tomlinson's recommendations, but not "other large areas".
He was however "delighted" Sir Mike was now going to be one of the official "Diploma champions" who would be publicising them once the details were finalised.
Mr Sheerman said some people described the new Diplomas as really "a stepping stone to Tomlinson".
The minister said: "I still see a future for the A-level.
"I think we have got a good offer in the entitlement in 2013, a three-pronged offer":
Mr Knight said it was part of the national psyche to think that "vocational" was for "people who are less able".
But evidence showed learners were better motivated if they could see the practical application in the real world of what they were being taught. Diplomas would be both vocational and academic.
He was asked if he saw them replacing other vocational qualifications such as BTecs.
"I guess I would say to you that over time the others would wither on the vine as the Diplomas win the argument, really," he said.
'Ran scared'
Labour MP Jeff Ennis asked why the government had not seized on the widespread support Tomlinson had accumulated.
Mr Knight said he was not in the government at the time.
"I can only presume that the decision was made that the A-level was something that people were familiar with and confident with and should be retained," he said.
Mr Sheerman said the "word on the street" was that the government "ran scared" of the employers' organisation the CBI - but that was "water under the bridge".
Mr Knight said the government's priority was that the first Diploma courses should be high quality.
He said 361 consortia - local partnerships of schools, colleges and other organisations - had applied to run Diplomas. Initial impressions were that the quality was very good.
He did not want to quote likely student numbers lest they be seen as a target.
The 50,000 in the first year that had been mentioned was "a ballpark figure".
Jon Coles, director of the 14-19 reform group at the Department for Education and Skills, sitting alongside Mr Knight, said that if all 361 consortia were approved there could be 160,000 youngsters involved.

EVERETT — Work on Snohomish County's new $75 million courthouse hasn't even begun and it's already generating unexpected expenses.
Some county leaders were surprised this week to learn that up to $1.6 million will be necessary for a consultant to shepherd the project through design and construction.
The county official in charge of the work explained that the apparent extra expense is part of an alternative bidding process that should save money later. It's not a sign of things getting off track, county facilities director Mark Thunberg said.
"We don't expect to spend that whole dollar amount – that's a worst-case scenario," Thunberg said. "That's if they're on the project for a full three years."
A seven-story, 160,000- square-foot courthouse is being designed to replace the county's existing justice complex in downtown Everett. It would be built on what is now a plaza to the north of the existing building. In February, county leaders decided to build a new courthouse rather than renovate the jumbled and inefficient 1960s-era courthouse.
They're trying to solve the current facility's range of safety, health and maintenance headaches, one of the most pressing being inadequate separation between in-custody defendants and the general public or court staff.
A 30-year bond is paying for the construction and demolition work.
The project timeline calls for breaking ground by April 2014 and finishing during the first half of 2016.
This week, the county selected Hoffman Construction Co. of Seattle as the general contractor and manager. The county only considered bids from companies that have built other courthouses. Hoffman's portfolio includes the city of Seattle's downtown Municipal Court building.
The $1.6 million cost that caught some County Council members by surprise owes to a complex bidding process the county is using to prevent expensive redesigns and other cost overruns.
For most construction projects, municipalities put out a call for the lowest qualified bidder.
"If you're doing a simple building, that's the way to go," said Jeff Hencz, a special projects manager for the county.
The new courthouse won't be simple to build. A major complication will be that it will be taking shape within 10 feet of the existing courthouse, which must stay up and running during construction, with all normal security precautions in place.
To minimize risks, the county has opted to follow an alternative procedure allowed by state law. It is called the General Contractor-Construction Manager process. That should allow the county to stay in close touch with Hoffman to avoid costly redesigns as the project evolves.
Under the process, a state oversight board must certify that the county is prepared to see the project through. In April, the county contracted OAC Services of Seattle for $25,000 to help with that certification, which came through the same month.
On Monday, the County Council authorized paying the same firm up to $1.6 million to help design and construct the project over the next three years.
While the county could spend the whole amount, so far about $300,000 is definite.
"The real number is $300,000," Hencz said.
County Councilman John Koster had doubts from the beginning about the project staying within budget. The new figures do not put him at ease.
"I saw that and thought, 'Here we go again,'" Koster said. "Hopefully, this isn't one stop in a long trail of these things."
County Councilman Brian Sullivan, who called the project "absolutely necessary to get our courts into the 21st century," wished the council had known the increase was coming.
"I'm not trying to be critical, but every penny counts in this project," Sullivan said.
When complete, the building will house 20 courtrooms.
"I think the process is going very well," county court clerk Sonya Kraski said. "I'm excited about the improved customer service it will allow us to provide."
A key feature will be a streamlined first-floor customer-service counter where people can pay fines, file paperwork or request special assistance. It would be a judicial equivalent of the tax and licensing service counters on the first floor of the county's newer administration wing, the 2005 Robert J. Drewel Building. As is, reaching courthouse service counters entails walking a maze of halls and elevator trips to various floors.
"A lot of thought is being put into trying to make the place more user-friendly," Snohomish County Superior Court Presiding Judge Michael Downes said. "I think sometimes people come here and get frustrated because they have to go from one place to another. … If we can make things easier, that would be an achievement."
There won't be room for everyone who would logically be in the new courthouse. That includes the county's deputy prosecutors. Now split up among different buildings, the plan is to move all their offices to floors six, seven and eight of the Drewel building.
"We wanted to be in the courthouse and we think that's where we belong," Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe said. "But apparently there isn't room for us there, so we think this is a reasonable compromise."
Space in the new building will be tight from day one. The design will anticipate an L-shaped addition that could be built later, should staff grow.
"There's a finite amount of money and everybody realizes that," Downes said. "It's being built as a replacement courthouse and not as an expansion or anything like that."
The county's historic Mission Building, which is connected to the present courthouse, would be renovated and become a stand-alone building.
The county also plans to build a new Sheriff's Office south precinct at the Cathcart property, south of Snohomish. That project is being handled separately.

Gabby Douglas immortalized on cereal box
The marketing of America's newest gymnastics sweetheart has begun.
Gabby Douglas, who won the Olympic women's all-around Thursday, is already on a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. USA Gymnastics sent a tweet with a photo of Douglas holding the box. Kellogg's is a sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Things are moving fast for the 16-year-old who, fittingly, trains in Des Moines, the heart of corn country. Also Friday, she appeared on NBC's Today show, first by herself and then with the three other American women to win the coveted Olympic all-around title: Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin.
"You are going to have 'Olympic champion' with your name forever," Patterson told her. "Take the time to soak it all in."
While on the show, Douglas reminisced about the road she took to the gold medal, moving at 14 from her Virginia Beach home to Iowa for coaching.
"It took a lot of hard days in the gym, a lot of drive," she said. "Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day."
After her final routine, the floor exercise, she was not sure she had done enough for the gold medal. And she had to wait for the final competitor, Victoria Komova of Russia.
"I was like, OK … do I have the gold? Do I have the silver? What do I have? My heart was pounding," Douglas said.
Aly Raisman, the other American in the all-around competition, was uncertain about her standing as well. She ended up in a tie for third with Russia's Aliya Mustafina, but a new tiebreaking procedure, which Raisman said she wasn't aware of, dropped her to fourth. The judges went to a scorecard tiebreaker, taking the total of each gymnast's three highest scores from the four events.
"I was hoping they would give us both the bronze medal," Raisman said on Today. "I wish I could have been up on the podium with (Gabby), but, like I said, I'm just trying to be positive.
"I definitely feel OK. I'm still really happy with my performance. I don't need a medal to prove I did well."

I am still working on everyones predictions. It's taking a lot longer than I originally anticipated but I promise I will get to you all. I would have to sit at the computer all day if I wanted to get everyone done in one day, though. SO (significant other) remember it will take some time but I'll have them done long before we're all finding out gender from ultrasounds so NO WORRIES!
One of the GO's has offered to lock this thread until I get caught up and I took her up on it. PLEASE DON'T PM ME YOUR STUFF! I woke up to 99 messages this morning! If you want a prediction, post it on the thread when it's open. It will open back up when I've gotten a chance to catch up.
Thanks for being patient. I really enjoy doing this but it just takes a little time. When I am all caught up, I will ask the GO to open the thread again and I'll post the predictions I've done. I won't PM you. I'll post them all in the thread and OP.
Okay. So I've been doing some research and there is a pretty strong link between the moon phase, moon signs, and gender.
So if you want me to predict the gender of your baby, please give the following information:
Ovulation date (if you charted, post a link):
BD date(s):
Sate and closest big city you conceived in:
Remember, the more information you provide, the better the prediction will be.
Please keep in mind this is just for fun and while there are studies to back it up, nothing is 100% guaranteed. I enjoy doing this and I've been about 75-80% accurate when guessing for friends and family.

Controlling stress
Stress is a normal part of life, but working women seem to have more than their share. As a pregnant working woman, you need to be sure that the stress in your life doesn't adversely affect your health and the health of your baby. If you cant fight or flee, learn how to flow.
Ten Ways to Control Stress at Work
Have you had trouble sleeping lately? Suffer from headaches, stomachaches, or heartburn? Or do you seem to develop one cold after another? Perhaps that's your body's way of reacting to too much stress. Here are some general strategies for reducing the impact:
- Organize your workloadTasks are more manageable if you deal with them one at a time. When you have too many things to do at work, draw up a plan of attack in order of priority. Complete the tasks one after the other and soon you'll find the weight lifting from your shoulders.
- Solve the problemsBegin by identifying the true problems. If you're always overwhelmed at the office, think about why you tend to take on so much. Devise several ways to solve the problem and write them down. Put your plan into action and evaluate it to see if it's working.
- Avoid the source of stressDon't make major changes in your life until after your baby is born. Beware of the holiday season; let someone else do the work this year. Clean up the clutter on your desk. Give up stressful volunteer tasks.
- Return stress to its rightful ownerSome of the aggravation you feel is really someone else's problem. Tell your mate that he'll have to entertain his clients himself; tell a coworker to learn the system instead of always asking you. Start saying no to the other people who lean on you. Explain that you have more than enough to do, and suggest that they should do it themselves.
- Try physical activityExercise, yoga, or perhaps a stroll around your workplace during the day is a wonderful stress reliever. Even cleaning your work space in your first trimester can relax you.
- Talk about itShare your concerns with a coworker or a friend. It may or may not lead to a solution, but you'll feel much better after unburdening yourself. If sharing with a friend doesn't seem to help, be sensible and seek the counsel of a professional.
- Don't hold back the tearsCrying is a healthy way to relieve anxiety. Of course, there are times when it wouldn't be appropriate: in front of a client, for instance.
- Accept differences and things you cannot changeSome problems simply cannot be solved or else the solution is way down the road. Don't let it bother you if coworkers do things differently from the way you do. Relax, there's more than one way to reach a goal. Cooperation is always better than confrontation.
- Keep up a social lifeVisit friends,take a colleague to a play, go out to dinner with another couple. Make time for fun. Allow time in your busy week for your favorite recreation and watch how the tension disappears.
- Get plenty of sleep and rest Be sure to eat well too. Stress seems to deplete B vitamins so quickly that it causes a pregnant woman to become deficient in this group of vitamins.

Difference between revisions of "Function Clause"

Revision as of 19:52, 10 March 2012
A function with the same name and the same number of parameters can be defined several times, where through pattern matching, the clause chosen depends on the parameters and arguments passed to it. Consider the following example:
factorial(1) -> 1; factorial(N) -> N * factorial(N-1).
if the argument in the function call is not 1, the second clause is automatically chosen, and the argument is bound to N. If the argument is 1, the first clause is chosen, and 1 is returned.
Technically speaking, formal parameters are also patterns - it's just that they never fail to match a value. As a "side effect" of the successful match, the formal parameter is bound to the value it is being matched against. Patterns such as formal parameters that never fail to match are said to be irrefutable, in contrast to refutable patterns that may fail to match. Consider the following function:
factorial(N) -> ...
In this function, the formal parameter is N. If you execute the function factorial with ANY value as parameter, N will match it and become bound. In this case the pattern N is irrefutable. However, we know that the factorial function can only take positive integers larger than 0 as input.
factorial(N) when is_integer(N), (N > 0) -> ...
In this case, N can only be bound if it is integer and larger than 0. Now the pattern is refutable. Technically, we have placed two guards that prevents N from being bound:
- is_integer(N) and
We can also achieve refutability by including complex patterns in the function clause:
function({result,R} = P) -> ... ; function({response,R} = P) -> ... ; function({error,E} = P) -> ... .
In the example above, our function will match one of 3 clauses depending on the structure of the single parameter P.
{result,R} = P
This means that IF the input parameter is a tuple of arity 2 and the first element is the atom result, then bind the variable R to the second element and the variable P to the entire tuple:
(rvg@wyemac2)32> Value = {result,"My result"}. {result,"My result"} (rvg@wyemac2)33> ({result,R} = P) = Value. {result,"My result"} (rvg@wyemac2)34> R. "My result" (rvg@wyemac2)35> P. {result,"My result"}
In the same manner, Erlang will pick the correct clause in our function, generating an EXIT if none matched.

SAN BERNARDINO -- The San Bernardino motorcycle rider who rear-ended a pickup truck last night and landed in the bed of the truck then was taken for a ride through the Cajon Pass was reportedly speeding, California Highway Patrol officers said Friday morning.
A group of German tourists who reportedly told officers, "We drive on the autobahn, we know what high speeds are," said the rider, who has not been identified, was riding in excess of 130 miles per hour, according to Officer Christopher Dalin with the Victorville CHP station.
Shortly after 8 p.m., the motorcyclist and the driver of the Nissan pickup truck were both traveling south on the 15 Freeway, according to reports.
The rider struck the rear of the Nissan truck driven by a South Gate man and flipped into the bed of the truck somewhere near the Oak Hill Road offramp, officials said.
The driver told officers he felt some sort of impact but due to the construction in the area, assumed he had struck a large chunk of debris in the roadway, Dalin said.
The driver continued south on Interstate 15, but had a nagging feeling about the impact.
"He looked in his right mirror and his left and saw nothing," Dalin said. "Then he looked in his rearview mirror and noticed a hand waving at him from the rear of his truck."
The driver pulled over near the truck scales and called 911.
Up until then, San Bernardino County Fire personnel and CHP officers spent about half an hour looking for the rider.
"We had the helicopter up looking for him and nothing," said Dalin.
The rider was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries.
There have been no arrests in the case as of Friday morning, Dalin said, but added the incident is still under investigation.
May is designated as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and state agencies are encouraging all motorists to safely share the road, according to a CHP press release. The safety campaign follows a significant increase in the number of people killed in motorcycle-involved collisions in California.

Eazy-E's Son Speaks Out Against N.W.A. Casting Decision
Listen to Eazy-E Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to N.W.A. Radio on iHeartRadio
The son of the late Eazy-E is sounding off about the decision not to cast him in the role of his father in the upcoming N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton. The role of Eazy went to up-and-coming actor Jason Mitchell.
According to TMZ.com, Lil Eazy-E says he deserves to portray his father because he not only looks like him, but also sounds like him. Playing his father is something he believes Eazy would've wanted. Even though he's not happy with the casting choice, Lil Eazy plans to throw his support behind the film as a tribute to his dad.
Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson Jr., will play his father in the film, while Corey Hawkins will portray Dr. Dre. Dre's son, Curtis Young, recently revealed that he auditioned for the part of his father, but was turned down.
Straight Outta Compton will arrive in theaters on August 14, 2015.

LOL yeah just a little extreme ha ha , but I agree lol
I think for a child to be Tweeting that you hate your parents cos you didnt get the latest technocockfaggotry shows how materialistic people have become nowadays.
My parents are the worst mother Fucking parents in the world fuck you mom and dad for not getting me a Iphone. FUCK YOU. FML. #Iphone
Those are a couple of randomly selected ones. They should be shot.Quote:
I hate how my mom has to ruin christmas by getting everyone stupid gifts... where the hell is the iphone i asked for?! bitch!
I did my first 'proper' Christmas this year. Spent most of it with my missus and her family who do the whole massive tree, presents under there, decorations, massive meals, eating home cooked food all day for like 3 days straight etc and whilst it was all great to get into itI still felt lost in regards to the huge amount of money spent on gadgets and shit.
I'd much rather be able to pay my rent and feed my kids but nowadays you cant say that cos you'll be called a tight bastard or a scrooge when in reality it's just common sense.
If you have kids, great - do it for a few years then slowly taper it off to just spending time with family and enjoying the time off.
We aren't raising these kids, they are American. I've seen Americans come here and complain the Brits are so poor and backward and even worse in their eyes ...socialist!
How do you know they're American? I've never heard a yank use the word "gutted" before.
Kill it, kill it with fire.
It's an American site, one said he got a map of Maryland, another said 'dang' and kids get cars when they are 16 there, well they expect them anyway lol. they would have got the word 'gutted' from watching Brit films and television series which American parents think are dreadful, full of sex and violence lol.....I go on an American martial arts site which has a non martial arts bit where they like running the Brits and MMA down ie MMA is only teaching people to fight it doesn't teach respect or disipline and if it wasn't for us you Brits would be speaking German, that's a favourite.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska
Jennifer Martin, Jr. F (Asheboro, N.C./Eastern Randolph HS)
Everyone finally got their McDonald's fix this morning after demanding it since our arrival in Alaska. Around 9:30 we departed out for our 10am shoot-around to prepare us for our game against Cameron at 5pm. Shots were flying as we had a very energetic hour gym session, getting used to UAA's lose rims, as well reviewing Cameron's full court press. We picked up Subway as a pregame meal as we headed on back to the hotel to rest up before tip-off. There was quite a wait before the departure to the gym where some of the players went around downtown to shop and others stayed in their rooms. I stayed in the room with my roommates Madison Lennox(#24) and Lauren Ward(#10). We rested up before the game by eating our pregame meals, followed by cuddling up in our beds and watching Beastly on MTV. Departure for the gym was at 3:15pm, not before we got a team picture with the hotel's Christmas trees for our friends and families back home and in Brevard.
The energy was there tonight for the team. You could tell that everyone was ready to play hard and compete. Kadijah Watts(#11), Alexis Williamson(#21), and Chelsea Turner(#23) came up with a team chant before the game to keep the team momentum up, and to match the energy Cameron's team showed the night before. We jumped on the Aggies being the first team to score thanks to a lay-up by Hardara Bannister(#22), and kept the pressure up for the first part of the first half. Cameron was a quick-transitional team, and extremely energetic on the court. They were smaller than Saint Leo, but still had height in the post. We ended the first half only down by 16 points, and had a positive half-time speech by Coach Reid, who advised us to jump out in the second half and rekindle the energy we had at the beginning of the game. During the second half we came together as a team executing our plays and getting defensive stops, but unfortunately our shots weren't falling as well as we needed in order to close the gap Cameron had made in the first half. We fell to the Aggies 76-55 but we fought hard and played well. Alexis Williamson(#21) and Lauren Ward(#10) got to play in their first collegiate game, with Alexis getting a great block against one of the Aggies.
We ended our night getting meals from the Lucky Wishbone, a local restaurant. A relaxing day is in store for the team tomorrow. Some players are going dog sledding, while others plan to spend the day exploring the malls and different shops of downtown. We head back home tomorrow night to reunite with our families for our short Christmas break, and all plan to make the last few hours in Alaska the best we can. I think the entire team has enjoyed their visit here to Anchorage, but we're all anxious to return home to our families! Plenty of prayers for us for our safe return home, and Happy Holidays to all our Tornado friends and families!
Madison Lenox, Fr. G/F (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield HS)
Today was our first game day in Alaska. We had to wake up at 10 a.m. for our 11 o'clock shoot-around at the University of Alaska Anchorage. After shoot-around the team went back to the hotel to rest. Some of the team walked into downtown to buy souvenirs for their friends and family members. At around 2:00, Coach Reid brought the team Subway, chips, and Gatorades for lunch so that we would have a lot of energy for our tough match up.
After we ate, we arrived back at the university about an hour before a game because we had only been allowed 30 minutes for warm-up. As a team, we are more accustomed to an hour warm-up, but we managed to adjust by stretching on the floor of the locker room. We had never heard of these teams, but we learned quickly that the South Atlantic Conference isn't the only conference with fierce competition. In the game today, we played Saint Leo (Florida). They are nationally ranked and one of the few college women's basketball teams in the nation that have remained undefeated this season. To our disappointment, we were unable to end their winning streak. It was disheartening to lose the game, but the experience will help us move on with the competition we will face later this season. We now know more things we will need to improve on as a team which is very helpful because we're still young. After our game, we were able to watch the other two teams in the tournament, the University of Alaska Anchorage and Cameron University (Oklahoma). After watching them play, we should be more prepared for Saturday's game. The team looked very aggressive and energetic, which will make them challenging competition for us. We will have to match or even exceed their energy and aggression on the court. All of the teams in this tournament seem to have a good feel for playing with one another. I plan for us to grow to that point as a team, and this trip to Alaska should help us reach our goals for this season.
After watching a half of the game between UAA and Cameron, the team and staff were starving. We were lucky enough to go to one of the most popular restaurants in town, Moose's Tooth. The place was packed and we were fortunate enough to get a table pretty quickly. All 13 of the players crammed at one table because everyone wanted to be together and didn't want to have to split into groups at different tables. There was no complaining about food tonight though! We had more than enough pizza, and we realized why the place was so popular. Shelby Wolfe (#33) ate all of the garlic off of one of the pizzas, which made her roommate and bedmate for the trip, Kyley Clark (#34), dread the rest of the night. Dinner was lots of fun with the whole team eating and laughing with one another. Personally, team dinners are my favorite part of team trips, and it isn't because the food is way better than what we have in the cafeteria at Brevard. Eating together makes it more real to me that the team really is a family at heart. Hopefully tomorrow we will come together as a team and pull out a victory to go home with over the holidays.
Chezney McJunkin, Sr. G (Easley, S.C./Pickens HS)
This morning I woke up at 6:45am to what I thought was Hadara's phone alarm, so I started tapping her telling her to turn the alarm off, I soon realized that the noise was coming from the other side of the room; it was Shelby Wolfe's loud alarm. Shelby, Kylie, Hadara, and I slowly began to crawl out of bed and start getting ready for practice. We all met in the hotel lobby at 7:30 and headed out to get on the vans. I ride in Coach Reid's van and little did we know when she mashed the pedal …we were stuck in the snow! It was a long and funny process of trying to get the van unstuck. Taylor Hiatt, Shelby Wolfe, Coach Hudson, and a friendly stranger helped by pushing the van. I stayed in the warm van and watched them pushing and busted out laughing when I saw Shelby fall face forward into the snow after using all her strength to get the van unstuck. Thankfully, we made it to practice and got in a good workout!
After practice we came back to the hotel for a quick snack then bundled up into our warmest attire and set out for Girdwood Ski Resort. Along the way we stopped and picked up Brevard College alum Sarah Carlos Shelton (Class of 2011). We drove past the most beautiful snow covered mountains, and we all had our phones out trying to get pictures. We stopped at a pull off and everyone climbed out of the vans and started capturing the scenery on their phones. We were getting pictures made in the snow with the pretty background and as we were taking Coach Reid's picture she slipped and fell straight on the ground. Obviously the whole team, including myself, started laughing. Little did I know that seconds later the whole team would be laughing at me… for the same reason! I was getting on the van while talking to Hadara and slipped and fell straight on my back. I guess what goes around comes around.
We finally made it to Girdwood and took the Tram up the mountain. It was so fun and the view was absolutely breathtaking. I was in awe when we got to the top and looked out to see snow covered mountains and trees like I had only seen in calendar pictures. We stayed up there for a while and took in the scenery and threw snow balls at eachother. We went back down the Tram and had lunch at the Bake Shop. We ate delicious soup, bread, and dessert. On our way back to the hotel we stopped to look at the Portage Glacier. Everything we saw was incredible and I feel very fortunate to be here in Alaska with my team.
We arrived back at the hotel and got ready to go eat dinner at Sarah's house. Sarah and her family were very welcoming and fixed us a wonderful dinner. We all had a great time eating and talking together! We then headed back to the hotel and are now hanging out in our rooms. We had an exciting day and are excited about our game day tomorrow!

Taylor Hiatt, Jr. G/F (Mount Airy, N.C./Mount Airy HS)
I woke up this morning at 4:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m.) and to my surprise, my roommates Lynsey Crisp (#3) and Katie Williams (#12) woke up around 6:30. We all talked for a while sat around wondering how cold it was outside until we had practice at 11:30. The coaches went to the grocery store to get food for breakfast and lunch and to pick up the vans. I texted Tuccoa Brackett (#13) to see how her surgery went and she told me that she was home and everything went well. I've been sending her pictures of Alaska when I can.
We gathered our practice gear and went to the gym. The roads here are covered in packed snow and people drive like it doesn't bother them at all. We got to the gym and put our shoes on and began practice. I learned what my dad had always talked about when he said he had jetlag, and I'm glad we have two days to get ready for our game. We finished practice and headed back to the hotel. We went to eat at a restaurant called Humpy's just down the street for dinner and then went to an Alaska Aces professional hockey game at 7 p.m. to finish out our first day in Alaska. Needless to say I'm exhausted but very blessed to see this beautiful place that some people only get to see in pictures.
I pulled an all-nighter trying to stay awake until the drive to Charlotte Tuesday morning at 3:45am. We all piled in the gym lobby waiting for our vans to arrive. I didn't have the jitters until we were going through security, and I started asking the coaches a million questions about what all I needed to grab out of my bag and what I could leave. Going through security is like getting interrogated by your parents (terrifying). I was able to calm down and grab some Chex Mix and water from one of the many stores in the Charlotte airport. I talked to coach Hudson about what would come next in trying to prepare myself. I heard them call out for my group and I was completely calm until I saw who was sitting beside me. Not only was this my first plane trip, but it was also Katie Williams' first trip (#12), and she was sitting next to me on this tiny plane. Naturally, Katie and I began talking about what-if scenarios and freaking ourselves out. The flight attendants said that the door was closed and we were preparing to go down the runway. Katie and I clung tight to the chairs with our hearts are pounded and our ears starting to pop on takeoff. A feeling of nausea and a huge weight came over me and I wanted to pass out. However, I held it together and looked at the amazing view to distract myself. Katie and I finally calmed down after being in the air for a while and the next thing we knew we were about to land in Chicago. I soon realized that the takeoff and landing were the worst parts flying.
When we arrived in Chicago it was snowing and freezing cold. We grabbed our bags and walked around the O'Hare airport in Chicago trying to find a food court. We finally found one with multiple options and decided to stop there. The majority of us ate at some Japanese place and others got McDonald's. After we ate, we found somewhere to lie down and relax because our layover was from 9-4 p.m. Some of us went in the bookstore and others watched movies. Jennifer Martin (#25) and I walked to Starbucks and grabbed some coffee to warm ourselves up. We then found outlets, because what college student can go without their phone for more than 30 minutes? We drank our coffee and talked about the flight to Alaska and how long it was going to be, talked about basketball, and finished with talking about school. We started getting our stuff together and finding our gate shortly after that because our flight was supposed to leave at 3:45pm. Naturally that didn't happen. I think we finally took off around 4:30pm and the pilot announced that the flight would take 7 hours.
This plane was much bigger so I was more at ease. I had a television to watch but of course people charge you where they can to get extra money so I had to pay the $7.99 to watch movies during what felt like an eternity just to get to Alaska. We landed in Alaska around 9 p.m. (1 a.m. in NC). We waited for the van from the hotel to get us and as soon as you walked outside it was incredibly hard to breathe and ridiculously cold. The pilot said it was -6 degrees Fahrenheit when we landed. We got to the hotel and waited for our pizza from Pizza Hut, and then we straight to bed.

Knights' Johnson blasts two, plates six
Rays' Game 162 hero powers Charlotte to doubleheader split
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | April 28, 2012 2:48 PM ET
The 32-year-old slugger went deep twice and drove in six runs on Saturday afternoon as the Charlotte Knights salvaged a doubleheader split with an 11-1 romp over Syracuse. The Chiefs won the opener, 5-3.
Johnson has been solid for the Knights, opening the season with hits in his first seven games while splitting time at first base and DH. However, he entered play on Saturday with just one longball in 20 games and one RBI in his last nine contests.
Johnson got the day off to a strong start in the first game of the twinbill, delivering a two-out RBI single in the opening inning, adding another hit and a run scored in the Knights' loss.
After striking out in the second inning of the nightcap, Johnson broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with a two-out, two-run blast. Charlotte tacked on two runs and loaded the bases for Johnson in the fifth. The University of Nebraska product sent the first pitch from reliever Rafael Martin over the right-field wall, extending the Knights' lead to 8-0.
It was Johnson's biggest run-producing game since May 22, 2010, when he went deep twice and collected eight RBIs in Durham's 18-1 rout of Pawtucket.
Jordan Danks also had a solid day, going 3-for-4 with a three-run shot in the victory. The younger brother of White Sox left-hander John Danks contributed a sacrifice fly in the first game.

If my AP has no security on it (no wep/wpa) and i have multiple computers connected to my ap. How could I backdoor(test) one of those pcs. Since there is no cracking needed, this task would be easier i guess ?
I seen a few tut on it but they weren't quite clear enough for me to understand or even see with my own eyes(due to low vid quality) since im new to this kind of backdoor method. I also have a better way to actually backdoor a computer but, with bt it makes it much easier.
Let me explain:
Once backdoored (using bt), I can place a non-harmful exe to remotely connect to the pc. That way i dont have to type all that mumbo shumbo command line stuff to do what i need to do. And ill have a remote GUI to look at.
Long story short. Since remote tools don't come with the ability to get inside a box using this exploit, combine bt+a remote tool, and you're in business, easy as pie. I will be using this method for work purposes fyi, when im at work.

Sanderson, Brandon. The Alloy of Law
Sanderson's sequel to his popular "Mistborn" series is set three hundred years after the events of "The Hero of Ages" and society and technology have advanced accordingly, bringing his fantasy world up to a level roughly equivalent to our own Victorian/Wild West era. Waxillium Ladrian, or Wax, is a Twinborn gifted with both Allomantic and Feruchemical powers. Born into a noble family, Wax fled the glittering capitol city of Elendel as a young man to become a lawkeeper out in the wild Roughs. Now older, perhaps wiser, and certainly more jaded, he has returned to take up his role as the head of the Ladrian family following the death of his uncle. He has resolved to give up the coarse lifestyle of a backwoods lawman and marry for the good of his family, but soon finds that the city can be just as dangerous as the Roughs. A band of outlaws known as the Vanishers have been mysteriously robbing train cars and kidnapping noble women, then vanishing without a trace. When Wax's own intended becomes one of those captives, he, his wise-cracking parter Wayne, and his intended's bright cousin Marasi are honor-bound to solve the mystery and save the Vanishers' victims—a task that will strain both their intellects and their Allomantic powers to their utmost.
A well-developed and unique setting paired with sparkling, sympathetic characters, witty dialogue, and a rollicking adventure make this title far from a stale rehash of the original series, but a fascinating outing in its own right. We can only hope for further adventures with Wax and his crew!
