A trackball is a pointing device consisting of a ball held by a socket containing sensors to detect a rotation of the ball about two axes—like an upside-down mouse with an exposed protruding ball. The user rolls the ball with the thumb, fingers, or the palm of the hand to move a pointer. Compared with a mouse, a trackball has no limits on effective travel; at times, a mouse can reach an edge of its working area while the operator still wishes to move the screen pointer farther. With a trackball, the operator just continues rolling (however, it could be argued that a mouse user could simply increase sensitivity and/or increase mousepad size to avoid this problem) Some trackballs, such as Logitech's optical-pickoff types, have notably low friction, as well as being dense (glass), so they can be spun to make them coast.The trackball's buttons may be situated to that of a mouse or to a unique style that suits the user.
Large trackballs are common on CAD workstations for easy precision. Before the advent of the touchpad, small trackballs were common on portable computers, where there may be no desk space on which to run a mouse. Some small thumbballs clip onto the side of the keyboard and have integral buttons with the same function as mouse buttons. The trackball was invented by Tom Cranston and Fred Longstaff as part of the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR system in 1952,[1] eleven years before the mouse was invented. This first trackball used a Canadian five-pin bowling ball.
When mice still used a mechanical design (with slotted 'chopper' wheels interrupting a beam of light to measure rotation), trackballs had the advantage of being in contact with the user's hand, which is generally cleaner than the desk or mousepad and does not drag lint into the chopper wheels. The late 1990s replacement of mouseballs by direct optical tracking put trackballs at a disadvantage and forced them to retreat into niches where their distinctive merits remained more important. Most trackballs now have direct optical tracking which follows dots on the ball.
As with modern mice, most trackballs now have an auxiliary device primarily intended for scrolling. Some have a scroll wheel like most mice, but the most common type is a "scroll ring" which is spun around the ball. Kensington's SlimBlade Trackball similarly tracks the ball itself in three dimensions for scrolling.
As of 2013[update] two major companies produce trackballs, Logitech and Kensington, although Logitech has narrowed its product line to two models. Other smaller companies occasionally offer a trackball in their product line. Microsoft was a major producer, including a product for kids called EasyBall, but has since discontinued all of its products. The Microsoft Trackball Explorer continues to be extremely popular (it has no analogous design in production by another company), with used models selling for ~$300 on ebay.

Special applications[edit]
Large trackballs are sometimes seen on computerized special-purpose workstations, such as the radar consoles in an air-traffic control room or sonar equipment on a ship or submarine. Modern installations of such equipment may use mice instead, since most people now already know how to use one. However, military mobile anti-aircraft radars and submarine sonars tend to continue using trackballs, since they can be made more durable and more fit for fast emergency use. Large and well made ones allow easier high precision work, for which reason they may still be used in these applications (where they are often called "tracker balls") and in computer-aided design.
Trackballs have appeared in computer and video games, particularly early arcade games (see a List of trackball arcade games) notably Atari's Centipede and Missile Command – though Atari spells it "trak-ball". Football, by Atari, released in 1978, is commonly misunderstood to be the first arcade game to use a trackball, but in The Ultimate History of Video Games by Steven L. Kent the designer of Football, Dave Stubben, claims they copied the design from a Japanese soccer game by Taito. Console trackballs, once common in the early 1980s, are now fairly uncommon: the Atari 2600 and 5200 consoles had one as an optional peripheral, with a joystick as standard. The Apple Pippin, a console introduced in 1995 had a trackball built into its gamepad as standard. Trackballs were occasionally used in e-sports prior to the mainstreaming of optical mice in the early 2000s because they were more reliable than ball mice, but now they are extremely rare because optical mice offer superior speed and precision.[citation needed] A trackball requires no mousepad and enables the player to aim swiftly (in first person shooters). Trackballs remain in use in pub golf machines (such as Golden Tee) to simulate swinging the club.
Computer gamers have been able to successfully use trackballs in most modern computer games, including FPS, RPG, and RTS genres, with any slight loss of speed compensated for with an increase in precision. Many trackball gamers are competent at "throwing" their cursor rapidly across the screen, by spinning the trackball, enabling (with practice) much faster motion than can be achieved with a ball-less mouse and arm motion[citation needed]. However, many gamers are deterred by the time it takes to 'get used to' the different style of hand control that a trackball requires. Trackballs have also been regarded as excellent complements to analog joysticks, as pioneered by the Assassin 3D 1996 trackball with joystick pass-through capability. This combination provides for two-hand aiming and a high accuracy and consistency replacement for the traditional mouse and keyboard combo generally used on first-person shooter games. Many such games natively support joysticks and analog player movement, like Valve's Half-Life and id Software's Quake series.
Trackballs are provided as the pointing device in some public internet access terminals. Unlike a mouse, a trackball can easily be built into a console, and cannot be ripped away or easily vandalised. Two examples are the Internet browsing consoles provided in some UK McDonald's outlets, and the BT Broadband Internet public phone boxes. This simplicity and ruggedness also makes them ideal for use in industrial computers.
Because trackballs for personal computers are stationary, they may require less space for operation than a mouse, and may simplify use in confined or cluttered areas such as a small desk or a rack-mounted terminal. They are generally preferred in laboratory setting for the same reason.
People with a mobility impairment use trackballs as an assistive technology input device. Access to an alternative pointing device has become even more important for them with the dominance of graphically-oriented operating systems. There are many alternative systems to be considered. The control surface of a trackball is easier to manipulate and the buttons can be activated without affecting the pointer position.[2]
Trackball users also often state that they are not limited to using the device on a flat desk surface. Trackballs can be used whilst browsing a laptop in bed, or wirelessly from an armchair to a PC playing a movie. They are also useful for computing on boats or other unstable platforms where a rolling deck could produce undesirable input.
Trackballs are generally either thumb-operated, with a ball about an inch in diameter or smaller moved by one digit (almost always the thumb) and the buttons clicked by others, or finger-operated, with a ball over two inches in diameter operated by the middle fingers and the buttons by the thumb and little finger. Users favour one format or another for reasons of comfort, mobility, precision, or because it reduces strain on one part of the hand/wrist. Most, but not all,[3] finger-operated designs are symmetrical in design, making them usable by both hands, while thumb-operated designs are by their nature asymmetric or "handed," allowing the smallest examples to be held in the air. Thumb-operated trackballs are not generally available in left-handed configurations, due to small demand.
Some computer users prefer a trackball over the more common mouse for ergonomic reasons. There seems to be no conclusive evidence studies performed to determine which type of pointing device works best for most applications. Application users are encouraged to test different devices, and to maintain proper posture and scheduled breaks for comfort. Some disabled users find trackballs easier since they only have to move their thumb relative to their hand, instead of moving the whole hand, while others incur unacceptable fatigue of the thumb. Elderly people sometimes have difficulty holding a mouse still while double-clicking; the trackball allows them to let go of the ball while using the button.
At times when a user is browsing menus or websites rather than typing, it is also possible to hold a trackball in the right hand like a television remote control, operating the ball with the right thumb and pressing the buttons with the left thumb, thus giving the fingers a rest.[4]
Mobile phones[edit]
Some mobile phones have trackballs, including those in the BlackBerry range, the T-Mobile Sidekick 3, and most HTC smartphones. These miniature trackballs are made to fit within the thickness of a mobile device, and are controlled by the tip of a finger or thumb.
On mice[edit]
In lieu of a scroll wheel, some mice include a tiny trackball sometimes called a scroll ball. A popular example is Apple's Mighty Mouse.

ST. LAWRENCE, N.Y. -- It's been more than six months since a North Country man allegedly used an excavator to dig up land at the former GM plant in Massena. Monday, Larry Thompson was arraigned on charges of criminal mischief, resisting arrest and reckless endangerment stemming from the August, 2011 incident.
Thomspon is a member of the Onkehonwe Signatory Tribe. He is accused of not only digging up the land but also dropping contaminated soil at the feet of New York State Troopers.
Several members of the tribe were in court Monday, dressed in traditional garb, showing support for Thompson. Thompson, who is representing himself in the case, refused to answer the judge's questions because he said he would not abide by American law but rather, tribal law. He even provided the judge with documents that explained that law.
Larry Thompson, Defendant said, "I can appreciate the fact that he's ignorant to the laws. He's only going down what he was programmed and trained, ours is ancient law."
Thompson refused a public defender for the case, saying it would be considered treason by his people.

Schema Address Question
I have a local business with a contact page that I want to add schema markup to. However, I was wondering if having the address with schema info on the contact page instead of the home page has any adverse effects on the rich snippet showing up in search.
There's no logical place to add schema for a local business on the home page, so having it on the contact page—not in the footer or sidebar—is the only option.

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - HAZMAT crews were called to the Southeastern Public Service Authority's Norfolk transfer station after a strong odor was reported.
Capt. Mike Hicks with Norfolk Fire Rescue said crews were dispatched to the 3100 block of Woodland Avenue after the strong odor was making people gag and irritating eyes. When crews went in to perform air quality tests, a flammable gas found was believed to be methane gas from decomposing trash.
Hicks said the cause was believed to be common household chemicals mixing together.
SPSA is going to remove the last batch of trash that is thought to be causing the smell and drop it into the next truck.
Hicks said the Department of Environmental Quality has been contacted. The group will determine where the trash should be moved.
No one has been transported to a hospital.

Kirk Dillard Quoted on Possible 2014 Gubernatorial Run
Dillard, a Hinsdale native, has represented the 24th District in the Illinois Senate since 1993.
State Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale) is pondering another run for governor, according to a Daily Herald story published on Aug. 17.
Dillard says his first priority is to get re-elected to his 24th Senate District seat in November—he's going up against Democrat A. Ghani—but at a recent Springfield event, the Herald quoted the senator as saying he's having talks "to assess what 2014 looks like."
The Hinsdale native, who has represented the 24th since 1993, cited his experience as former Gov. Jim Edgar's chief of staff as something that makes him a good gubernatorial candidate, as well as his personal background.
"I think the right template for the election of a Republican governor is a suburbanite with very strong downstate roots," Dillard said in the Herald.
Dillard ran for governor in 2010, but lost narrowly to Bill Brady in the Republican primary.
In March, Dillard beat State Rep. Chris Nybo (R-Lombard) in a heated primary for the Republican spot on November's general election ballot. If he wins, as is expected, he would have to choose between running for governor or for senate re-election in 2014.
Sign up for Patch's email newsletter and get all the top Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills headlines in your inbox each morning. And then like us on Facebook!
In a Patch questionnaire sent out before the primary, Dillard said making Illinois a "destination economy" for job creators is one of his top priorities.
"Whether it is protecting raids of suburbanites money from the Tollway and METRA, or fighting for suburban school funding which holds property taxes down, I fight for area taxpayers and their families," Dillard said.

Dillard is a friend and supporter of convicted felon Bill Cellini. Cellini's sister Janis with Dillard's ok put Chicago mob and machine associates into jobs at the state. Dillard knew did nothing.

1 pound uncooked fettuccine
2 bacon slices (uncooked)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup shredded carrot
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well; keep warm.
Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 6 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside.
Add shrimp and garlic to pan; sauté over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add peas and carrot; cook 2 minutes or just until shrimp are done. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl; keep warm.
Combine milk, flour, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove pan from heat; add cheese, stirring until blended. Add milk mixture to shrimp mixture; stir until combined. Add pasta and 1/4 cup parsley, tossing gently to coat. Transfer pasta mixture to a platter, or divide evenly among each of 8 plates; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
Wine note: The creaminess of this pasta dish is beautifully enhanced by chardonnay—a wine with its own creaminess.
Serves 8 (serving size: about 1 1/4 cups pasta and 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley)

The newly-renovated grandstands were packed.
All that was needed to make the reopening at Bellarmine Prep complete was a victory over Lakes.
The Lancers did not let that happen.
Dominic Milton scored from the 1-yard line with 1 minute, 15 seconds remaining as the Lancers held on for a 42-38 victory in what will go down as one of the best games in years in the South Sound.
Lancers coach Dave Miller conceded as much afterward.
"It was a tremendous high school game," he said.
After Milton's score, the Lions had one final drive for a potential game-winning touchdown – and drove all the way to the Lakes' 10-yard line with 3 seconds remaining.
On the game's final play, quarterback Sefo Liufau – who threw for 327 yards – watched as his final pass fell harmlessly in the back of the end zone for an incompletion.
"Sefo picked us apart ... and it was a chess match," Miller said. "I am just really proud of our young guys."
The game featured 852 total yards between the two teams.
It looked like the Lions were going to have little trouble to begin the game, limiting Lakes to 4 yards of offense in the first 12 minutes, but a 98-yard kickoff return from Caleb Lyons evened things up at 7 heading into the second quarter.
That's when things started getting crazy.
The Lions and Lancers traded touchdowns over the next quarter, a 5-yard touchdown run by Bellarmine Prep's Lou Millie was immediately answered with a dominating Lakes drive, capped off by a Milton 1-yard touchdown run, the first of his two touchdowns against the Lions.
The Narrows League power came right back with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Garrett McKay which put the Lions ahead, 21-14, with just under two minutes to go in the half.
The biggest play of the game might have been the last play of the first half – or at least it should have been.
An 18 yard pass to Isaac Williams looked to take the teams to halftime, but an untimed down allowed Lancers quarterback Rhys Gervais to find Sammie Long in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. Lakes botched the extra point to trail by one at intermission.
The win spoiled a huge day for the junior McKay, who finished with 300 yards of offense.
McKay also had a 69-yard punt return called back after offsetting penalties forced a re-kick.
McKay did return the ensuing punt 30 yards to put the Lions into scoring position, and Matthew Philichi's 35-yard field goal made it 38-35 with 6:30 remaining.
Last week, the Lancers were undone by seven turnovers in their loss to Woodinville.
Lakes had two turnovers against Bellarmine Prep, but both could have spelled an 0-2 start for the Lancers.
Gervais fired an ill-timed pass in the end zone that was intercepted by the Lions in the third quarter, and another interception with 5:20 remaining gave the Lions the ball with a three-point lead and an offense that couldn't be stopped.
A costly holding penalty stalled the Lions' drive, however, and the Lancers marched down the field for the game-winning touchdown.

Citibank Checking/Savings Account Promo with up to 40,000 ThankYou Points
Citibank is offering a checking account and savings account promotion in which you can earn up to 40,000 ThankYou points. I wouldn't call this a hot deal since it requires a significant deposit and you have to be careful with fees. Nevertheless, some may find it a good deal. Here's the link to the promotions page as of 9/17/2010. To qualify for the first 20,000 points, the following is required:
- Open The Citibank Account or Citigold Account by 10/17/2010
- Enroll your checking account in Citi ThankYou Rewards
- Within 60 days of account opening you must have begin performing at least one of the following: 1 direct deposit, or at least 2 online bill payments, or 5 or more debit card purchases. This must be continued for 2 consecutive months.
To earn another 20,000 points, the following is required:
- Open and fund a Citibank Savings Plus Account with at least$25,000 by 10/31/2010
- Within 60 days of account opening you must have begin performing at least one of the following from the linked checking account: 1 direct deposit, or at least 2 online bill payments, or 5 or more debit card purchases. This must be continued for 3 consecutive months.
Some downsides to consider about this promotion:
- 40,000 ThankYou points can be redeemed for $400 in gift cards. As always, a gift card is not as good as cash.
- The Citibank Account requires a minimum $6,000 combined balance to avoid a monthly fee of either $9.50 or $12. You can see the details of The Citibank Account here.
- The savings account promo requires a $25,000 deposit. However, the terms don't say how long this $25,000 has to remain in the account.
- The account doesn't pay much interest so there's a downside for maintaining a balance in this account. Details of this account are described here.
- Many readers have reported problems in getting Citibank to pay out its bonuses, and many have had problems with Citibank's customer service.
Be sure to read all of Citibank's fine print. Citibank just recently announced it's making some changes to its fees which may help in avoiding monthly fees.

The days of being able to redeem 40,000 points for $400 are long gone. $100 gift cards for 10,000 points (for practically any store you could think of) used to be common, but looking right now I see NO $100 gift cards. There are $50 cards for 6000 points, and $25 cards for 3500 points. And the selection of retailers continues to shrink.
It's still a deal, but not as good as it once was. I guess I'm surprised that Citi hasn't shut down the Thank You program by now.
I opened one of these accounts in early 2008. When the interest rate on the savings became so dreadful that I could take it no more, I closed the account in late 2009. Then I ran into a gotcha that isn't in the fine print - they will take points away from you for closing the account. They took about 4500 points away from me, and later restored about 3500 of them... with no explanation.

I had Citi accounts for 10 years, until this year as I closed all of my accounts. You name a customer service issue and I probably had it - not paying bills on time (almost 20 days at one point), transfers that did not occur, customer service people not following through on problem resolutions, and most of all - broken commitments for the accounts that I opened. Citi Bank is a time suck.
Citi is in trouble and many of the long time account holders have "voted with their feet" and departed. If you do intend on taking Citi up on their offer, plan on actively managing the account AND your bonus as they have a habit of not paying until you contact them several times. I would avoid this offer as you have to jump through too many hoops to earn it. I predict that Citi Bank will eventually fade away over time.
Anonymous - #3, Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 7:46 AM
Citi's 40,000 points promotional programs, which arise from time to time, are somewhat of a scam -- if you read the fine print, it usually takes 2-3 months to fulfill the requirements (which are often quite detailed), and then another 3-4 months before they'll post the rewards. Making matters worse, although I and my wife have taken advantage of the offers several times, in each and every instance, Citi would fulfill the offer ONLY if we could recall the code Citi had given us five-six months previously when we opened the account. Being a detail person, I kept that information (although nothing in the promotional materials suggested I should). However, I suspect that the vast majority of applicants do not retain such info, and are disappointed to learn that Citibank -- whose business it is to retain and process information -- unfortunately cannot remember what offer code was used to open the account, and therefor cannot fulfill its promotional offer!
Anonymous - #4, Friday, August 17, 2012 - 9:27 AM
this 40,000 thank you points offer such a scam from citibank, i opened this account in march 2012, and had fullfill all the requirement they ask, 1) open account, 2) link checking account to thank you account, 3) direct deposite and online bill payment for 2 mos. after that, i called the customer service and ask about when i'm going to get the thank you points, and they said i'm sure fullfill their requirement to get the points and have to wait 90 days after this fullfillment. and now it's mid auguest 2012, i haven't see the thank you points show on any of my statement, so again, i contact them, and they said i'm unqulify because i had an old regular checking account with them long ago. it seems to me, they are just playing games, first, my old regular checking account is not the same as this "citi gold checking" account, as this offer was stating "for customer openning new citi gold checking account" and i had never had a "new citi gold checking account" before. and why they told me 3 mos ago i should be getting my thank you points within 90 days? citibank is good at pulling scams on people for their promos, i guess. since i know i'm not the only one victims. shame on you citibank!!
Anonymous - #5, Monday, October 8, 2012 - 7:42 PM
citi promo 40,000 thank you points is a SCAM, i had everything in 90 days. i had contacted them multiple times they make up all kinds of errors for you at first. after calling them several times, they said it was awarded already. nothing so i called again now they said they can't look in the file its too long. Then they make up another story they said the account enrollment is the first day, not your first day of statement, so i missed the deadline. pffffffffff f u. STAY AWAY!!!

Hi Mozzers,
We had a question about our twitter app http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers-fun/flowers/home This app sends messages out to tweeters for their Birthday, to say congratulations etc.
Our question relates to the fact that we are generating 1,000 of pages of content (like this:http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers-fun/flowers/message?id=394447 ) with some unique content, but these orphaned pages aren't really linked to and only have short-term traffic influx. Our question is whether these small, orphaned pages are likely to be seen as lots of random, low quality, low content pages - and whether that might hurt our Google ranking. Sometimes the virtual cards are linked to by blogs and tweets etc, so we don't want them not indexed but equally, we don't want our rankings to be damaged by them.
Wonder if anyone has any thoughts, opinions or any similar experience?

Optima's Wildlife Optima Dam was completed in 1978 but the impoundment never reached expected levels. To date, the lake has never filled enough to flood any of the Refuge lands. The intended purpose of the Refuge was to provide migration and wintering habitat for the shortgrass prairie population of Canada geese and the high plains population of mallards, but the lack of water has reduced the potential for waterfowl management. The Refuge does, however, provide an island of prime habitat for resident species such as white-tailed deer, coyotes, Rio Grande turkeys, quail, and many others. Because of its important habitats, Optima is a migratory stopover and summer home to many species of songbirds and raptors. Raptors are common year-round. During the spring and summer months, common species include Turkey Vulture, Mississippi Kite, American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Harrier, and Swainson's Hawk. Species common in the fall and winter months are Bald and Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcon, Rough-legged Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, and Ferruginous Hawk. Resident game birds include the Rio Grande Wild Turkey, Ring-necked Pheasant, Bobwhite Quail, and Scaled Quail. A variety of mammals are also found on the Refuge including white-tailed and mule deer, bobcat, coyote, beaver, porcupine, black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, raccoon, and striped skunk. Reptiles include the prairie rattlesnake and the Texas horned lizard, commonly called the horned toad. |

"These Italian breads remind me of a folded-over pizza. They are filled with such yummy ingredients!" - by MARBALET
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 6 servings
- In a large bowl, proof the yeast by blending it with 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let stand until it bubbles.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Blend in the one tablespoon of olive oil by rubbing the mixture between the palms of your hands. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add proofed yeast mixture and work in by hand. Gradually add the remaining warm water. Blend well and gather into a ball.
- Place one teaspoon of olive oil on a wooden board. Knead dough on board until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
- Meanwhile, prepare calzone filling: separate the broccoli tops from the stalks. Soak in cool water with 1 teaspoon salt for 15 minutes. Rinse in cool water. Cook in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well and chop into small pieces. Place in large bowl with provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, pepperoni, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Punch down dough and knead for one minute. Divide into six equal pieces. On a floured board, roll each section into a 8x10 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl combine the beaten egg and water. On the long side of the dough, place 2/3 cup filling in a strip one inch away from the edges of the dough. Flatten the filling with a spoon. Brush egg mixture over edges of dough. Fold the dough over the filling. Fold edges under 1/4 inch. Seal edges.
- Sprinkle two 12x16 inch baking pans with cornmeal. Place three calzones on each baking pan. Brush remaining egg mixture on top of calzones. Prick tops of calzones with toothpick, making holes 1/2 inch apart on top of dough.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.

Because my filling was only enough for 4, I used the dough to make 4 calzones even though the recipe makes enough dough for 6 calzones. That was a mistake on my part, because it made the calzones too doughy. But my husband was raving about it; between each bite he said "This is delicious," "This is soooo good!"

It is one of the enduring myths of the housing bubble bust: New home construction is driving down the price of resales in Manteca.
Growing up in our valley, I loved fog! Because fog for us represents the changing of a season. It meant "red cups" are coming back to Starbucks, turkey will become a meal staple for a week and Christmas is around the corner. But a "foggy" or "gray" understanding of our real estate market can make for a great deal of anxiety.
Florsheim Homes has a solid reputation for building quality and providing homes that fit well into customers' lifestyles and needs.
"Sorry, no free houses." - Glenn Schorr, an analyst with Norton Securities International in a research report sent to clients concerning the foreclosure moratorium
Springtime Estates is part of a series of small, semi-custom and custom neighborhoods east of Highway 99 that for years has drawn strong interest from long-time Manteca residents looking to move-up.
The hottest trend in Manteca's new housing market besides value pricing can be summed up in "one" as in one-story homes.
The topic of many water coolers today, and for that matter the last 5 years has been and still is real estate. The subject though has changed as of late to the question of, "Are we really headed for a double dip?"
Every market is different. That's been the advertising mantra of the National Association of Realtors for the past several years. It is something to keep in mind given the sudden dive in sales in many parts of the country. While it isn't exactly "happy days are here again" in Manteca, Ripon, and Lathrop the number of resale homes closing escrow has barely dropped. In many spots nationally the sale of existing homes has dropped by ...
Are short sales good for Realtors and bad for homeowners? That question was actually derived from a statement that was posted on a social networking site last week. The homeowner was responding to a video link of my business partner explaining the difference between the purchase process of a foreclosure compared to a short sale. Some statements that were made included, "Short sales are just as bad as foreclosures for properties..." and "(Short sales) further ...
Why go with a foreclosure where you have to spend upwards of $30,000 to update it when you can find a similar home placed on the market by an owner who is not under duress that already has the upgrades in plus has a swimming pool and is in move-in condition?
If you have a FHA insured loan - and virtually all first-time buyers who have purchased homes in Manteca during the last three years have them - you might just want to take advantage of the one-time ability to streamline your loan.
Foreclosure cancellations are at an all-time high in California. Lenders in Jane cancelled almost 22,000 foreclosures. That seems like good news for three possible reasons: •More short sales are going through. •Loan modifications are working. •Banks are extending the time they are willing to work with delinquent borrowers. The number of foreclosure cancellations is up 153.19 percent in year-to year comparisons and 27.09 percent above May levels. Don't break out the champagne yet. While foreclosures ...
Last week I started a two part article telling my personal short sale story. Like I stated last week, I thought I would share with you my story to let you know one major thing that a lot of Realtors fail to mention to their clients but they long to hear: "You're not alone!" "I have actually been there!" "You will make it through, I did!"
With all the news about interest rates and mansions selling for the price of shacks, many people are asking themselves, "Is now the time to sell our home?" The answer to that question depends heavily on your situation.
How do you determine when it is the best time to buy a home? Would it make the most sense to wait until you're sure the market has hit bottom? Those two questions are among those that fence sitters typically ask themsleves. You can talk until you're blue in the face about the rates being extremely low and affordability being at the best level in a decade especially when compared to income and it still ...
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sales of bank-owned homes have plunged to a five-year low, the latest evidence that the nation's foreclosure woes are easing as the U.S. housing market recovery gains momentum.
Real Estate Boys: I keep reading that the real estate market is booming again. Time magazine, the newspaper from our north, TV and radio news are all reporting to get "in now, the market is heating up across the nation." Wasn't it just a short year ago you Boys, and it seemed everyone else, was reporting that maybe we haven't seen the bottom yet? Then in late in 2012, "Well, we've bottomed out, but the ...
WASHINGTON (AP) - The average U.S. household has a long way to go to recover the wealth it lost to the Great Recession, a report by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis concluded Thursday.
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices jumped 10.9 percent in March compared with a year ago, the most since April 2006. A growing number of buyers are bidding on a tight supply of homes, driving prices higher and helping the housing market recover.
Most Americans over 50 want to stay in their home as they age, but few are making the renovations they need to ensure easy and comfortable living for years to come.
The bath serves a variety of uses, from a functional room to a serene sanctuary, a storage facility to a salon. And, whether you enjoy it yourself or share with the family, every bathroom is in need of one major thing - organization. To help keep your bath feeling more serene and less insane, follow these eight ideas to help improve your organization, maximize space and even add a bit of style.
Everyone knows spring and summer are the best months in which to sell a home. If your house has lingered on the market, you may be eager to find ways to freshen its appeal for potential buyers. Perhaps you're even ready to go big and invest in upgrades that will improve the home's value, curb appeal and interior allure so much that potential buyers just won't be able to walk away from it.
FORECLOSURE SALES: Foreclosure tracker RealtyTrac Inc. says 190,121 U.S. bank-owned homes or properties in some stage of the foreclosure process were sold in the first quarter. That's down 18 percent from the previous three months and 22 percent from a year earlier.

Paris Bar Invites Young Lawyers to Participate in Traineeship
LSBA President Richard K. Leefe announced that the Ordre des Avocats de Paris (the Paris Bar) is offering Louisiana young lawyers an opportunity to participate in a traineeship called Stage International. LSBA members who meet the requirements outlined in the accompanying letter and are interested in participating should contact Leefe no later than June 24 at (504)830-3939 or by email at email@example.com.
May 3, 2013
Dear President Leefe:
As in every year, in October and November 2013, the Paris Bar will organize a traineeship known as the Stage International, intended to educate young French-speaking foreign lawyers who want to discover our law and practice of the legal profession in France in an international environment.
In 2012, this traineeship drew 52 young lawyers from 35 different countries from every continent.
In October, young lawyers selected will attend courses on the legal system, legal ethics and legal procedures in France at the Ecole de Formation du Barreau which trains lawyers in Paris, taught by some of the most distinguished and highly qualified French instructors in Paris.
Then, in November, they will have practical experience in a law firm. We select host firms ourselves in order to ensure that they are adapted to our foreign lawyers needs.
This international traineeship the meeting place for lawyers who would like to compare legal practices offers the unique opportunity to create a sustainable professional and friendly network between young lawyers from diverse backgrounds.
I would be happy to accept one or more lawyers who would have been pre-selected by your Bar, bearing in mind that the candidate must be a member of your Bar and must satisfy the programmes requirements, which means being fluent in French, being less than 40 years of age, and being covered by legal liability insurance.
Applications can be submitted until June 30.
Lastly, I would like to mention that courses are entirely free as they are totally funded by the Paris Bar. The trainee is responsible for travel costs, as well as accommodation and living expenses in Paris.
However, participants can benefit from a scholarship offered by the French Embassy. I have sent a letter to the French Embassy of your country, so that appropriate measures might be taken to set up one or more scholarships for lawyers from your Bar who are selected to participate in the traineeship. Nevertheless, it depends on the resources of each Embassy.
I look forward to welcoming lawyers from your Bar in Paris.
Yours sincerely,
Christiane Féral-Schuhl

18 Non-wilds still to upgrade. Beast stones refuse to drop for me. I get everything else so I have tons of stones sitting in my bank, not exactly sure what I am going to do with them yet. Been buying the flawless stones to upgrade my beasties.

Also found tons of these out in Mistvale Valley down in the Cape of Strangelthorn.
I managed to capture an uncommon out in Badlands, however most of what I see out there are poor quality, and its only been a handful I have seen. This was about 30 or so mins of farming out there for the various critters that could be found.
I did managed to also find some in the excavation site, but all those down there were of poor quality.

Now here's an exciting idea - it's called The Urban Hotel. It doesn't exist yet, but designers Lo Li-Te, Tai-Yen Lee, Cheng-Yu, Tsai Zong-Huei & Hsu Song-Jung Chen have come up with a pretty brilliant idea for the hotel of the future. It's powered by solar energy and features rainwater recycling.
Ten Eco Documentaries to Celebrate Earth Day
Also, each room comes with a bike. Guests would be able to use the bike to get around or as an exercise bike that stores kinetic energy to power small gadgets and lights in the hotel room. The bike would create energy savings that could be applied to the room rental fee, so by saving energy, you'd be saving money too. I love that!
What do you think, is this the hotel of the future? What great, beautiful eco hotels have you been to that we all need to know about?

it looks sooo stylish! i would check in too!
pls have a kind look at my blog
love this!! Dharma Blue has a good point on a family version, too! I'd love to see this catch on in the traveling industry.
It would be awesome to be able to lower room costs by making your own energy. Being able to control room costs is good for bugeting travellers.
I would love that hotel! And ya get bored you just bike your cost down a bit,lol. That's awesome! Of course, it didn't mention the cost so if it's one of those "built for the rich" places, I'm out,lol
I'd love to stay in one of these. Even better if they had a little area with benches, maybe even a screened community porch, so you could get out of your room and meet other travelers.
I'd love to see a family-friendly version of this hotel!! s it is, this would be great for couples or one person. I think the concept is very exciting!
WOW !!! I love the Idea of this Hotel, But i am like Ty-K Berry, it depends on the cost to stay there. Hopefully with this new concept for Hotels maybe if others (Hotels) would go with this idea, than maybe the price would come down. Just think of the money that they would save in haveing Hotels save energy and inviroment, in the long run make money as well.
I really appreciate designs like these that are asthetically beautiful, space efficient, and of course doing good for the environment.
It reminded me of the capsule hotels in Japan! I'd much rather stay at the Urban Hotel though...

I'm not sure if it will be quite this drastic. As much as media people and tech enthusiasts make a big deal about Web 2.0, I don't think it's ever really caught on with mainstream culture. Sure, there are lots of people driving 2.0 engines like Digg but the average person is still not involved in social media on any meaningful level. In most community programs I've been involved in, 7% of the people create 95% of the content. Converting the passive is not going to happen in just a couple years no matter how catchy your buzz words are.
Over at Converation Agent (quickly becoming my favorite blog), Valeria Maltoni paints a picture of a Web 3.0 world where "pull technology will replace push completely." She cites some recent developments, like Mozilla's use of Microformats to draw links between smart tagging and AI systems, that will potentially replace the people that are currently acting as "connection brokers." Think about your role in your organization or industry. If you can be described as a connection broker, which I believe all people in PR can, this is probably an important evolution to pay attention to.
What I see as the real Web 3.0, and this isn't too far removed from what Valeria is saying about "pull vs push," is that mainstream culture will become much more comfortable acting as mass aggregators. People are already getting a taste of this with their DVRs (recording a series is like subscribing to a feed) but RSS is barrier for many people due to the way the technology is positioned to them. Web 3.0 will find that sweet spot where people can very intuitively filter in all their media the way they want it, regardless of whether it's a Facebook feed, personal email or their favorite section of the New York Times.
In terms of widespread adoption of AI as media filters, I'm not so convinced consumers will want this. Sure TiVo and NetFlix have won many people over with how their AI finds more content that their customers may enjoy but peer recommendations will always trump recommendation engines.
Likewise, consumers love spam filters but they will rarely allow the filters to automatically delete emails without allowing them to quickly scan them. Why is this? It's probably because email has become somewhat of a broadcast channel and consumers don't want to miss content or correspondence that they're not even sure they want in advance. For this reason, I never see pull technology completely replacing push.
What does this mean for the connection brokers? Since, in even a predominantly "pull" culture, advertising won't stand much of a chance, peer-to-peer trust will not only be the most important asset to marketer but it will be the only effective channel to influence aggregation habits. Also, if brands aren't creating content that their enthusiasts want, they will slowly become invisible. Once consumers start trusting the AI engines more than their own social networks, then the connection brokers will truly become irrelevant.

I have a camera generating a rendertexture which is then displayed with
so that a selected portion of the render texture is actually shown. This approach works fine in stand alone deployments for Mac and Windows as well as in the web player. However, it fails in Android causing the app to crash on that line. The app was working just fine (as was the Graphics.DrawTexture alternative to GUI.DrawTextureWithTexCoords) when the app was deployed under an earlier version of Unity, 3.4 if I remember correctly. I know there were some recent changes to ReadPixels and Apply, but I'm not using those directly. Are there any suggestions as how to remedy this issue? -Thanks
