The Manassas News & Messenger and its website, Inside NOVA, will close at the end of the year, the paper announced to readers today. The paper's corporate parent will cut another 72 jobs at the same time.
"Today is a difficult one," the letter to readers read, adding, "we do not see a long-term viable way to maintain a daily news operation here."
Read the News & Messenger's letter to readers here.
The closing will eliminate 33 jobs at the paper. The 72 corporate jobs that will be eliminated are at three operating groups of the paper's parent company, World Media Enterprises: the Southern, Virginia and Richmond operating groups.
World Media is a division of Berkshire Hathaway, the Omaha, Neb.-based investment company run by Warren Buffett. Buffett's company bought the paper in May when it purchased most of the papers formerly owned by Media General.
Buffett has said he sees a future for local newspapers and may buy more of them.
"Let me be clear: World Media remains bullish on community newspapers and our ability to publish news and advertising content on a variety of platforms that is useful to our readers and the communities in which they live," said Doug Hiemstra, president of World Media, in the letter to readers.
Read the Poynter Institute's reporting on the closing here.
Also closing is a weekly publication, Inside NOVA Weekly. However, the weekly Stafford County Sun will stay in operation, as will the other papers the company contraccts to publish for Ft. Belvoir and the Quantico Marine Corps base.
The newspaper traces its roots back to the Manassas Journal Messenger, which began operations in 1869, the paper said in its letter to readers.

The Buffalo Bills, New York state and Erie County officials all signed off on a 10-year...
The Buffalo Bills, New York state and Erie County officials all signed off on a 10-year lease agreement Friday, ensuring the team stays in western New York while committing $130 million in upgrades to the aging Ralph Wilson Stadium.
In addition, the team and state officials will form a committee to study the possibility of building new stadium "in the next decade or so," according to Bills CEO Russ Brandon.
"We are committed to this region," Brandon said.
The 10-year agreement runs through 2023. The Bills would be forced to pay $400 million if the team is relocated before then, except for after the seventh year, when the team would have a one-time-only option to buy out the remainder of the lease for $28 million.
"This is an exciting agreement," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "The agreement basically commits the Bills to staying at Ralph Wilson Stadium for another seven years."
The deal came together Friday after months of negotiations between the team and both state and county officials, as well as the National Football League's front office. Cuomo had met at least twice with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and helped broker the agreement.
The full lease agreement will be finalized in the coming weeks. Via the official press release, here's what we know it will include:

Using the editor in a component
From Joomla! Documentation
The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.
This article applies to Joomla! 1.5 only as Joomla! 1.6 uses Form Fields.
To get some interaction with the visitors of your website your visitors need to be able to add some content.
This article will show you how visitors can add some data using a rich text editor.
Lets start with the component created in the article Joomla 1.5 Component Development Tutorial: Part 4 which lets the administrator add new entries to the database. The component can be downloaded at: com_hello4_01. If you haven't done already, install this component on your developing website and create a menu link to this component.
Expand the data model
The model used in the tutorial can only hold a text of 25 characters. Lets add a new field which can be used to hold a lot more text, so we can save the editor contents.
Use your favorite tool to access the php database and open the jos_hello tabel in your joomla database. Add a new field to this table and add some intial text into it by running this SQL statement:
ALTER TABLE `jos_hello` ADD `content` TEXT NOT NULL ;
UPDATE jos_hello SET content = '
The A "hello world" program is a computer program that prints out "Hello, world!"
on a display device. It is used in many introductory tutorials for teaching a programming language. Such a program is typically one
of the simplest programs possible in a computer language. Some are surprisingly complex, especially in some graphical user interface (GUI)
contexts, but most are very simple, especially those which rely heavily on a particular command line interpreter ("shell") to perform the
actual output. In many embedded systems, the text may be sent to a one or two-line liquid crystal display (LCD), or some other appropriate
signal, such as a LED being turned on, may substitute for the message.
' WHERE `jos_hello`.`id` = 1
We have to change the table definition accordingly. Open the table definition stored in the file administrator/components/com_hello/tables/hello.php and add the new field as a variable below the current ones:
var $greeting = null;
var $content = null;
Show the new field on the front end
To show the new content we must:
- Change the model to read the field from the database
- Change the view to pass the value of the field into the template
- Change the template to actually show the text
The model was stored in the file: components/com_hello/models/hello.php
We must change the query to get the new field from the database. The loadResult method only retrieves the first field of the record, so we change this in loadObject to get the data into an object. Our new getGreeting() method will therefore look like:
function getGreeting()
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = 'SELECT * FROM #__hello';
$db->setQuery( $query );
$greeting = $db->loadObject();
return $greeting;
The view was stored in the file: components/com_hello/views/hello/view.html.php
As a reminder: The view pulls the data from the model and fees the data into the template
Because the output of the model is now an object instead of just text, we change the line which assigns the greeting to the template to only assign the greeting text of the object. We add similars line to assign the id and content to the template.
function display($tpl = null)
$greeting = $this->get( 'Greeting' );
$this->assignRef( 'greeting', $greeting->greeting );
$this->assignRef( 'id', $greeting->id );
$this->assignRef( 'content', $greeting->content );
Finally we will change the template in components/com_hello/views/hello/tmpl/default.php to become:
<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>

<?php echo $this->greeting; ?>

<?php echo $this->content; ?>
You can now refresh your frontend site and you should see the added content.
Edit form
To edit the current record we must:
- Add a link to the edit form
- Add a new template to edit the data
- Save the data
Creating a link to the edit form can be done in the template directly. But to keep the template nice and simple we will build the link in the view and pass in onto the template for displaying. Add this line to the view:
$this->assignRef( 'editlink', JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hello&view=hello&task=edit') );
And add these lines to the template:

<a href="<?php echo $this->editlink; ?>">Edit
If your template doesn't already include a reference to the library includes/js/joomla.javascript.js it has to be included at this moment. This can be done by adding the following two lines to view.html.php.
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
The task=edit in the url triggers the edit function in the controller. So let's add this method to our controller:
* Method to call the edit form
function edit()
JRequest::setVar( 'layout', 'form' );
Before adding the model to the view, we change the layout to our edit form.
Of course we have to provide this form. Create the file components/com_hello/views/hello/tmpl/form.php:
<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>
<form action="index.php" method="post" name="adminForm" id="adminForm">

<fieldset class="adminform">
<legend><?php echo JText::_( 'Details' ); ?></legend>

<?php echo JText::_( 'Greeting' ); ?>:
<input class="text_area" type="text" name="greeting" id="greeting" size="25" maxlength="25" value="<?php echo $this->greeting;?>" />

<?php echo JText::_( 'Content' ); ?>:
$editor = JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display('content', $this->content, '550', '400', '60', '20', false);

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_hello" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $this->id; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="save" />
<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="" />
Most of this is just like the form of the backend. The important addition in this form is how we call the editor:
$editor = JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display('content', $this->content, '550', '400', '60', '20', false);
The parameters of the display method are:
* string $name: The control name * string $html: The contents of the text area * string $width: The width of the text area (px or %) * string $height: The height of the text area (px or %) * int $col: The number of columns for the textarea * int $row: The number of rows for the textarea * boolean $buttons: True and the editor buttons will be displayed * array $params: Associative array of editor parameters
Refresh your browser and the edit link will show. Use the link to open the edit form including the editor.
Save the data
Next we need to add the save and cancel buttons and for some extra security we add a token to the form.
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'form.token' ); ?>
<button type="button" onclick="submitbutton('save')"><?php echo JText::_('Save') ?></button>
<button type="button" onclick="submitbutton('cancel')"><?php echo JText::_('Cancel') ?></button>
The buttons call some javascript which is added on the top of the form file after the first line:

The United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) cordially invite you to attend the 15th Plenary Meeting of the United Nations Geographic Information Working Group (UNGIWG) to be held in New York, USA on 3 - 5 August 2015.
The United Nations Geographic Information Working Group (UNGIWG) is a voluntary network of UN professionals working in the fields of cartography and geographic information science.
UNGIWG was formed in 2000 to address common geospatial issues - maps, boundaries, data exchange, standards - that affect the work of UN Organizations and Member States. UNGIWG also works directly with non-governmental organizations, research institutions and industry to develop and maintain common geographic databases and geospatial technologies to enhance normative and operational capabilities. UNGIWG reports periodically to the UN Chief Executive Board (CEB) on progress made and priority issues.
Specifically UNGIWG aims to:
The structure of UNGIWG has evolved to reflect changing needs and the practicalities of managing a working group whose 30 plus Members are located around the globe. The structure and modus operandi of UNGIWG is set out in detail in its Terms of Reference. Since 2009, Special Interest Groups (SIG) and time-bound Task Groups (TG) are the implementers of decisions taken.
In 2005 UNGIWG embarked on the development of the UN Spatial Data Infrastructure (UNSDI). In 2010, UNSDI was recognized as a UN System-wide Information and Communications Technology (ICT) harmonization initiative when the General Assembly adopted the UN ICT Strategy developed by the Office of Information and Communications Technology (OICT) headed by the Assistant Secretary-General and Chief Information Technology Officer (ASG/CITO) of the UN Secretariat in New York, USA. In 2011, UNGIWG adopted the Centre of Excellence for UNSDI Project proposal developed by OICT. On 28 March 2012 in Vienna at the 12th plenary meeting of UNGIWG, the UNSDI Steering Committee, in close collaboration with OICT, will launch the Centre of Excellence for UNSDI Project funded by voluntary contributions of Member States. The first phase of implementation will take three years to complete by an interagency team from OICT, the UN Office in Geneva Information and Communications Technology Service (UNOG/ICTS) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome.

What is soft, pliable, and waterproof; can withstand fairly high temperatures; and holds up to a lot of use? Like me, your first guess might have been those dang swimming pool noodles you always buy too many of and then never know what to do with once summer is over. But... the real answer is: PUL, polyurethane laminate if you wish to be formal. The broad category refers to any fabric with a polyurethane laminated to a base fabric. Most common is a polyester knit fabric laminated to a thin waterproof, non-breathable polyurethane backing. Originally developed for use in the medical industry, it's very durable and very popular right now for folks making diapers, diaper covers, changing pads, bibs, training pants, and outside the world of babies, it's often used to create reusable sandwich, snack and lunch bags. As with most man-made fabrics, there are some tips and techniques that make sewing with PUL easier.
We chose the thin, 1.33 mm PUL knit as a waterproof lining for our Baby Gifts: Pretty Bird Quick Trip Diaper Bag. It worked great. There are double laminates out there as well, which are usually the waterproof polyurethane sandwiched between two layers of polyester knit.
We've also used the popular cotton laminates, such as Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane cotton laminate, which we used for our Retro Fun: Toddler's Laminated Project Apron. Though different from PUL, because it's bonded to a natural cotton fabric (it is not waterproof - just water resistant), several of the pinning and sewing tips are applicable to this type of fabric as well.
Needles and pins
Unlike the forgiving fibers of natural cotton weaves, when you make a hole in PUL, it's there for good. Because of this, the fewer pins the better. The more holes you make, the less waterproof a project can become. Many people are against ever using pins on PUL, but I'm not that rigid. If your project is a simple one without a lot of complex interlocking seams, you should try to avoid pins. You can substitute paperclips, hair clips, fusible seam tape, or a glue stick (Pritt Stick is a good one for fabric and it washes out with the first laundering). For more complicated projects, sometimes you just gotta use pins. In that case, try to keep your pinning within the seam allowance. Also, this is a funny tip, but try to avoid mistakes. Because if you have to rip out a seam, the holes will remain.
The thickness of laminate you are using will determine the type of needle to use. A denim or jeans needle is a good choice for thicker laminates in a No. 14 to No. 16. For the thinner laminates, a ball point needle is a good choice in a No. 9 or No. 11. Always test first on a scrap.
Laminate can be 'sticky' going through your sewing machine. That great laminated surface, which is what makes it waterproof or water resistant, tends to want to stick to your presser foot. There are several ways to combat this:
- Use a Teflon® or Ultraglide foot. These feet have a special coating on the bottom, which allows them to move smoothly over difficult fabrics like PUL and vinyl.
- Use a Walking Foot, which has feed dogs incorporated into the foot itself. These feed dogs work in conjunction with the machine's feed dogs to feed fabric layers evenly.
- When possible, sew with the laminate side down against the feed dogs and the fabric side against your presser foot.
- Use a baker's paper or wax paper over the top of the laminate. The presser foot moves across the paper easily, and these papers are translucent so you can still see where you're going. Simply tear it away from the finished seam when done. It's most efficient to work with strips of paper just in the area where you're stitching.
Use a high quality, 100% polyester thread rather than a cotton thread. A cotton thread can wick moisture to the outside.
Stitch selection
There are folks in both the zig zag camp and the straight stitch camp. I've found either stitch works fine. The key seems to be to lengthen your stitch. You might also want to loosen your tension slightly. Test your stitch on a scrap before you begin your project! This is always a good rule of thumb, but is especially important when working with difficult fabrics.
Laundering and other care issues
Because PUL fabric was originally developed to withstand the intense heat of sanitizing washers and dryers used in hospitals, it will certainly hold up in your home washer and dryer. In fact, washing and drying with HIGH heat can help to seal up needle holes and seams.
- Use mild detergent
- Do NOT use fabric softeners, chemical stain lifters or bleach
- Do NOT iron
- If you use PUL for a project that stays wet for extended periods (such as with diapers), you can add a ½ cup of baking soda to the wash cycle to prevent odor build up.

Tableware is the dishes or dishware used for setting a table, serving food and dining. It includes cutlery, glassware, serving dishes and other useful items for practical as well as decorative purposes.[1][2] The quality, nature, variety and number of objects varies according to culture, religion, number of diners, cuisine and occasion. For example, Middle Eastern, Indian or Polynesian food culture and cuisine sometimes limits tableware to serving dishes, using bread or leaves as individual plates. Special occasions are usually reflected in higher quality tableware.[3]
"Dinnerware" is another term used to refer to tableware and "crockery" refers to ceramic dishes in everyday use as differentiated them from the fine porcelain and bone china produced by makers such as Sèvres in France, Meissen in Germany, Royal Copenhagen in Denmark, Royal Doulton in England, or Belleek Pottery in Ireland.[4] Sets of dishes are referred to as a table service, dinner service or service set. Table settings or place settings are the dishes, cutlery and glassware used for formal and informal dining. In Ireland such items are normally referred to as delph, the word being an English language phonetic spelling of the word delft, the town from which so much delftware came. Silver service or butler service are methods for a butler or waiter to serve a meal.
Setting the table refers to arranging the tableware, including individual place settings for each diner at the table as well as decorating the table itself in a manner suitable for the occasion. Tableware and table decoration is typically more elaborate for special occasions. Unusual dining locations demand tableware be adapted.
Dishes are usually made of ceramic materials such as earthenware, stoneware, faience, bone china or porcelain. However, they can be made of other materials such as wood, pewter, silver, gold, glass, acrylic and plastic. Before it was possible to purchase mass-produced tableware, it was fashioned from available materials, such as wood. Industrialisation and developments in ceramic manufacture made inexpensive washable tableware available. It is sold either by the piece or as a matched set for a number of diners, normally four, six, eight, or twelve place settings. Large quantities are purchased for use in restaurants. Individual pieces, such as those needed as replacement pieces for broken dishes, can be procured from "open stock" inventory at shops, or from antique dealers if the pattern is no longer in production.
Possession of tableware has to a large extent been determined by individual wealth; the greater the means, the higher was the quality of tableware that was owned and the more numerous its pieces. In the London of the 13th century, the more affluent citizens owned fine furniture and silver, "while those of straiter means possessed only the simplest pottery and kitchen utensils." By the later 16th century, "even the poorer citizens dined off pewter rather than wood" and had plate, jars and pots made from "green glazed earthenware".[5] The nobility often used their arms on heraldic china.
Table decoration
Tableware is generally the functional part of the settings on dining tables but great attention has been paid to the purely decorative aspects, especially when dining is regarded as part of entertainment such as in banquets given by important people or special events, such as State occasions.[6] Table decoration may be ephemeral and consist of items made from confectionery or wax - substances commonly employed in Roman banqueting tables of the 17th century. During the reign of George III of the United Kingdom, ephemeral table decoration was done by men known as "table-deckers" who used sand and similar substances to create marmotinto works (sand painting) for single-use decoration.[6] In modern times, ephemeral table decorations continue to be made from sugar or carved from ice.
In wealthy countries such as 17th century France, table decorations for the aristocracy were sometimes made of silver. One of the most famous table decorations is the Cellini Salt Cellar. Ephemeral and silver table decorations were replaced with porcelain items after its invention in Europe in the 18th century.
Western tableware
Table settings
A table setting in Western countries is mainly in one of two styles: service à la russe (French for "in the Russian style"), where each course of the meal is brought out in specific order; and service à la française (French for "in the French style"), where all the courses for the meal are arranged on the table and presented at the same time that guests are seated. Service à la russe has become the custom in most restaurants, whereas service à la française is the norm in family settings.
Place settings for service à la russe dining are arranged according to the number of courses in the meal. The tableware is arranged in a particular order. With the first course, each guest at the table begins by using the tableware placed on the outside of place setting. As each course is finished the guest leaves the used cutlery on the used plate or bowl, which are removed from the table by the server. In some case, the original set is kept for the next course. To begin the next course, the diner uses the next item on the outside of the place setting, and so on. Forks are placed on the left of a dinner plate, knives to the right of the plate, and spoons to the outer right side of the place setting.
Plates and bowls
Items of tableware include a variety of plates, bowls; or cups for individual diners and a range of serving dishes to transport the food from the kitchen or to separate smaller dishes. Plates include charger plates as well as specific dinner plates, lunch plates, dessert plates, salad plates or side plates. Bowls include those used for soup, cereal, pasta, fruit or dessert. A range of saucers accompany plates and bowls, those designed to go with teacups, coffee cups, demitasses and cream soup bowls. There are also individual covered casserole dishes.
Dishes come in standard sizes, which are set according to the manufacturer. They are similar throughout the industry. Plates are standardised in descending order of diameter size according to function. One standard series is charger (12 inches); dinner plate (10.5 inches); dessert plate (8.5 inches) salad plate (7.5 inches); side plate, tea plate (6.75 inches).
Glasses and mugs of various types are an important part of tableware, as beverages are important parts of a meal . Vessels to hold alcoholic beverages such as wine, whether red, white, sparkling tend to be quite specialised in form, with for example Port wine glasses, beer glasses, brandy balloons, aperitif and liqueur glasses all having a different shapes. Water glasses, juice glasses and hot chocolate mugs are also differentiated. Their appearance as part of the tableware depends on the meal and the style of table arrangement.
Tea and coffee tend to involve strong social rituals and so teacups and, coffee cups (including demitasse cups) have a shape that depends on the culture and the social situation in which the drink is taken.
Cutlery is an important part of tableware. A basic formal place setting will usually have a dinner plate at the centre, resting on a charger. The rest of the place setting depends upon the first course, which may be soup, salad or fish.[7]
- If soup is the first course, to the left of the dinner plate, moving clockwise, are placed a small salad fork to the left of the dinner plate; a large dinner fork to the left of the salad fork; a side plate above the forks; a wine or water glass above and to the right of the dinner plate; a large dinner knife to the right of the dinner plate; a smaller butter knife to the right of the dinner knife; a dinner spoon to the right of the knives; a soup spoon to the right of the dinner spoon.
- If salad is the first course, the soup spoon is skipped. The dinner fork is placed immediately left of the dinner plate; the salad fork is placed on the outer left side of the place setting.
In either arrangement, the napkin may either rest folded underneath the forks, or it may be folded and placed on the dinner plate.
When more courses are being served, place settings may become more elaborate and cutlery more specialised. Examples include fruit spoon or fruit knife, cheese knife, and pastry fork. Other types of cutlery, such as boning forks, were used when formal meals included dishes that have since become less common. Carving knives and forks are used to carve roasts at the table.
Serving dishes
A wide range of serving dishes are used to transport food from kitchen to table or to serve it at table, in order to make food service easier and cleaner or more efficient and pleasant. Serving dishes include: butter dishes; casseroles; fruit bowls; ramekins or lidded serving bowls; compotes; pitchers or jugs; platters, salvers, and trays; salt and pepper shakers or salt cellars; sauce or gravy boats; tureens and tajines; vegetable or salad bowls.
A range of items specific to the serving of tea or coffee also have long cultural traditions. They include teapots and coffee pots as well as samovars, sugar bowls; milk or cream jugs.
Place markers
Place markers are used to designate assigned seats to guests. They are typically used at large formal functions such as weddings, banquets for dignitaries, politicians or diplomats as well as on special occasions such as large children's parties. Some are collectible[8]
Chinese tableware
Chinese table settings are traditional in style. Table setting practices in Japan and other parts of East Asia have been influenced by Chinese table setting customs.[9] The emphasis in Chinese table settings is on displaying each individual food in a pleasing way, usually in separate bowls or dishes. Formal table settings are based upon the arrangements used in a family setting, although they can become extremely elaborate with many dishes. Serving bowls and dishes are brought to the table, where guests can choose their own portions. Formal Chinese restaurants often use a large turning wheel in the centre of the table to rotate food for easier service.
In a family setting, a meal typically includes a fan dish, which constitutes the meal's base (much like bread forms the base of various sandwiches), and several accompanying mains, called cai dish (choi or seoung in Cantonese). More specifically, fan usually refers to cooked rice, but can also be other staple grain-based foods. If the meal is a light meal, it will typically include the base and one main dish. The base is often served directly to the guest in a bowl, whereas main dishes are chosen by the guest from shared serving dishes on the table.[10]
Place setting
An "elaborate" formal meal would include the following place setting:[9]
- Centre plate, about 6 inches in diameter
- Rice bowl, placed to the right of the centre plate
- Small cup of tea, placed above the plate or rice bowl
- Chopsticks to the right of the centre plate, on a chopstick rest
- A long-handled spoon on a spoon rest, placed to the left of the chopsticks
- Small condiment dishes, placed above the centre plate
- Soup bowl, placed to the left above the centre plate
- A soup spoon, inside the soup bowl
Japanese tableware
Japanese ceramic tableware is an industry that is many centuries old. Unlike in Western cultures, where tableware is often produced and bought in matching sets, Japanese tableware is set on the table so that each dish complements the type of food served in it. Since Japanese meals normally include several small amounts of each food per person, this means that each person has a place setting with several different small dishes and bowls for holding individual food and condiments. The emphasis in a Japanese table setting is on enhancing the appearance of the food, which is partially achieved by showing contrasts between the items. Each bowl and dish may have a different shape, colour or pattern.[11]
Place setting
A basic complete place setting for one person in Japan would include the following:[12]
- Hot noodle bowl
- Rice bowl
- Soup bowl
- Two to three shallow 3- to 5-inch diameter dishes
- Two to three 3- to 5-inch diameter, 1- to 3-inch-deep bowls
- Two square or rectangular pieces, traditionally served for serving fish
- Three 2- to 3-inch diameter condiment plates
- Cold noodle tray with bamboo strainer
- Dipping sauce cup
- Chopsticks and chopstick rest
Not all of these plates and bowls would be necessary for one meal. A rice bowl, a soup bowl, two or three small dishes with accompanying foods, and two or three condiment dishes for person would be typical. Various serving bowls and platters would also be set on a table for a typical meal, along with a soy sauce cruet, a small pitcher for tempura or other sauce, and a tea setting of tea pot, tea cups and tea cup saucers.
Tableware for special circumstances has to be adapted. Dining in the outdoors, for example, whether for recreational purposes, as on a picnic or as part of a journey, project or mission requires specialised tableware. It must be portable, more robust and if possible, lighter in weight than tableware used indoors. It is usually carefully packed for transportation to the place where it will be used.

bugs in v4.0 --- $100K beta testers
bugs in v4.0 --- $100K beta testers
Frankly, if you expected it to be bug free you shouldn't have been one of the early reservation holders. Basically, signature owners have been doing the alpha testing, and for the next few months the rest of us are doing beta testing. I have experienced a few software glitches, but it has actually been better than I expected (certainly better than my Windows machine).
Note that the two computers controlling the display have nothing to do with driving the car, so I don't think there is any significant risk to safety - you can reboot them while you are driving.
Um, dude, just reboot your screen - all of those problems are fixed with a simple reboot. Just press in and hold down both scroll buttons until the screen reboots.
It's a computer. They don't run in perpetuity without locking up eventually. Same for your phone, your laptop, etc.
Just reboot it and stop freaking out.
Disable deep sleep mode, and most of these will go away, but it will draw more power when the car is parked/idle.
4.0 was more stable but lacked some features, and I like throttle response on 4.1 much better.
Yes it sucks it's buggy, but the drive train is safe and are hopefully coming up with fixes as we speak.
// proud alpha tester ;)
sam r,
I would be interested in hearing any constructive suggestions you might have. I'm sure nobody at Tesla is taking these things lightly. Once a bug occurs in a released piece of software/firmware, there is nothing you can do but try to fix it. I don't think backing off to some old version is even an option at this point. I am sure that these problems are the number one priority of the software people there. It will take some time to fix them because they have to make sure the car continues to be safe. In the mean-time, just remember that the nav screen is not driving the car - you are. Don't let some glitch in a non-essential system take your focus off the road.
There is a somewhat famous case of an airliner that crashed because the pilots fixated on a broken light-bulb in the cockpit and didn't notice that they had accidentally shut off the auto pilot, and had gradually descended until they hit the ground.
As others have said, you can still drive the car even while the computers are rebooting, so don't worry about the car functioning. The accelerator, brake and steering wheel are all you need and they don't have any 'bugs'.
I have the trip meter screen continually displayed on dash, and would like to remove it. Does anyone have a fix for this. Nothing I have tried seems to work.
Hi Tesla-David,
I recall that on my delivery, my DS showed me that the left scroll wheel was able to scroll between different Apps being displayed on the left side of the speedometer. I don't recall right now how it got to this state, but you might experiment, possibly holding down that left scroll wheel for a second. I know that wheel controls the volume normally.
I love this car and am looking forward to my model X, but I long for the days when people didn't think it was ok to "Just Reboot". Many hardware and software systems are up 24/7 for years and do not have "Memory Leaks" or poor modular design.
Somewhere along the way programming became a lost art or it all got outsource (off topic). I have headaches from work dealing with tools that don't work because the companies think it is more important to change then correct and stabilize a software product.
The last thing I want is to be driving my peaceful electric car and to have to keep resetting poorly written software.
This isn't rocket science it's about hiring quality software programmers who take pride in their work and don't expect others to have to perform their testing.
@xx2014xx - I agree the windows mentality of "reboot then reinstall" to fix problems pervading everything else is a shame. However, I think it is unrealistic to expect perfect software on the Model S at this point. Would you rather they waited 6 months to deliver the car while they got everything just right on the one piece that can be updated later? Personally, I would rather get beta-quality software and have all the hardware right than perfect software and hardware "bugs" that require replacing parts at a service center. Never mind the fact that if Tesla delayed shipping the Model S by 6 months while getting things perfect they probably wouldn't be around to ship any cars.
Could they have employed some more software developers the last couple of years and had the software advanced from where it is today? Probably. Could they have open-sourced it and received help from the software engineers who appear to be over-represented among EV buyers? Certainly, but then you also risk losing competitive advantage over other manufacturers, and risk losing control over the experience they project.
They apparently did spend the time on all the software running lower level parts of the car -- has anybody had any glitches with how the throttle responds, power steering, etc? That seems more important to me, so I am perfectly happy with the tradeoffs they have made so far. That said, if in 6 months we are still having these glitches, I will consider it a problem.
I'm in Pasadena too! But I have a little different take on the reboot. When I first experienced the glitches caused by the failed firmware update I was concerned that major systems would be effected, but in fact, it drove fine. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and called Tesla. They informed me of the known problem and told me how to reset the main screen. In 3 seconds all the functionality was restored. It was kind of like re-starting a MAC.
This impressed the hell out me. No service call, no trip to the service center, no cheap–o rent a car.
The other problems are a different matter. Mainly the creaking sunroof, dash rattle, and now the glove box will not stay closed. Someone at Tesla needs to address the quality control issues current owners are experiencing. How about a quiet recall?
Here's how I change what the dashboard display shows on the left and right of the speedometer: simultaneously press and then release the steering wheel click wheels. Then, use the left click wheel to scroll through choices on the left, or the right click wheel to scroll through choices on the right.
Finish!! select your choice ... how? Don't EVER get in the Tech Writing business! Users will be screaming in frustration over omitted steps continent-wide.
I think what is missing is honest and early communication from Tesla on these bugs. How hard could it be for GB to send a message to all Tesla owners reassuring them that Tesla is aware of these bugs and is working on a fix. In the meantime, please use the reboot sequence as a workaround.
Many Tesla owners are more than willing to be the beta-testers, BUT at least Tesla needs to make an effort to keep that community informed, which is NOT happening right now. It would be so easy!
I have gotten warnings that my traction & stability control are disabled a few times when driving in cold weather. Each time I resloved by turning off the vehicle and then turning it back on (the steering wheel reset did not do it). Dropped by the Tesla service center & they looked up the error messages on my vehicle via the internet. They told me the times that these error messages had occured. It will be studied & resolved remotely. I will be notified if there are any issues requiring me to bring it in. This is far different from the "bring in the car next time it occurs" I would get in my younger years.
You mean 14.4K modem? Or 28.8K? ;)

Leave no snark behind
Still talking Jubjub and you'd better pay attention because our lecturer, the Butcher, is explaining it all in a popular style.
And just what is this popular style in which the Butcher speaks?
It's a two-fisted exposition of all things Carrollian and Snark and Jubjub, yeah! It's got footnotes for the egghead squares who dig such things and it's all in pictures for those hipster jive-cats who can't be bothered to read!
This is our very own bright, shiny Age of Information, dear readers, and as far as Lewis Carroll and the Butcher are concerned, it has been spawned in the Boschian bowels of Hell, otherwise known as North American public schools, grades K-12. Ouch!
Sunday, June 27, 2010
Felonious monk
In today's fast-paced urban lifestyle, even the most ordinary Butcher can demonstrate the mathematical properties of the Song of the Jubjub by utilizing just a few writing implements such as can be found in the typical personal effects of any passing Beaver.
Why? Because he's a brain-worker! This ancient and noble profession was first established in the Middle Ages by a gang of ergotamine besotted monks who became known as Scholastics. It was they who founded Christ Church College, where the Eminent Victorian, Lewis Carroll, eventally penned the very verses which we are now perusing.
Alas, the noble vision of Scholasticism fell into disarray, seduced by the twin evils of Squaring-Reality-With-Theology and certain other strange creepy creatures of the same phlegmish ilk. The groves of Scholasticism stand silent today … no one remains to hear or even count the haunting, melancholy, arithmetical Song of the Jubjub …
Ye gods, even laughter is probably doomed to disappear, one day …

The sound of one hand snarking
Many comix artists posting their work on-line like to liven things up for the kiddies with a bit of well-intended blather concerning Process. This particular stanzel, in which the Butcher logically proves the existence of the Jubjub through the application of the Clochetic Rule of Three, is chock full of the overflowing, down-home goodness of Process.
So, how did I draw it?
Simple! Take a fresh, full bottle of black ink and dilute it entirely with white paper. Or if you prefer, starting at the beginning of the drawing, continue until you see the end, then stop. Or, even better, just keep drawing until the picture in your head runs out of room and is forced to move onto the drawing board.
Proof complete, times three! Yeah, baby, gimme some of that hot Process!

A confederacy of jubjubs
One can never know too much about Jubjub birds, don't you agree? They constitute an important nexus in the entire Carrollian Multiverse, occupying as they do important roles in both The Hunting of the Snark and Through the Looking Glass.
Here's how they appeared in Tim Burton's recent production of Alice in Wonderland, as designed by Bobby Chiu. Now please compare that splendidly hyperactive specimen of full-blown Disneyiana with this artist's own shabby conception of a hastily-folded together scrap of paper as shown above, fluttering out of the Beaver's reach.
Pathetic, isn't it? The work of an utter dunce without even the excuse of a full-blown scholastic upbringing.

I heard the Jubjub call my name …
Lewis Carroll compared the voice of the Jubjub to a pencil that squeaks on slate. This is a peculiarity of Carrollian English, the word being spelt as p-e-n-c-i-l but pronounced as « chalk » by many speakers.
Such are the byzantine quiddities of the English language, quiddities which are the very meat and drink of the grammarians and linguists who haunt the groves of academe. The Admirable Carroll was himself a mathematician but he haunted the same borogroves of academe and as such, he had many opportunities to regale his most deserving students with the Song of the Jubjub, a cringe-inducing specimen of avian mal canto which goes something like this, only worse.
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
painted jubjub
The scream referred to above is the legendary Song of the Jubjub, that paradisical bird which figures so prominently in Fit the Fifth of The Hunting of the Snark, better known to the Illuminati as the Beaver's Lesson.
I use the term paradisical in the traditional postlapsarian sense, the very same directional sense now being employed by the shamefaced Beaver and Butcher as they make their hasty way towards the exit. As we discussed in an earlier exegesis on this stanzel, they had been caught red-handed fooling about with each other's masaccios despite the managment's strict warnings not to do so!
Alas, all they that lend ear to the Song of the Jubjub must fall from grace! Verily, The Falls of these transgressors shall reach unto the very depths of the anglo-avian cinematic tradition so nobly engendered by the Jubjub and his creator, Lewis Carroll. Yowsuh.

The fall of the house of snark
If you've ever spent years of your life and several gallons of thick, gooey, tepid cafeteria-style India ink in illustrating The Hunting of the Snark, you'll be keenly aware that words are just a fancy name for pictures that can make sounds. When words gather and roost together overnight, they form large flocks which we call language. These language flocks will then awake in the morning to fly off somewhere else, making a mighty racket whilst pooping on some luckless illustrator's car parked beneath them.
Smart inksters know, like the Beaver as seen above, that it's best to attend to every word right from the start by clipping their wings with a judiciously placed pun, before the po' flighty things take panic and go stark ravin' mad.

Snark, Strangeness & Charm
Over at The Comics Journal, Dave Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp has been taken hostage and been given a good tickling with a lead-weighted feather duster. To be truthful, the whole discussion (which really is worth reading if only for the cut-to-the-chase comments of Eddie Campbell) makes this artist's brain hurt.
It seems that comix can, if put on a strict diet of giggling art-school coeds and gin-soaked compresses, aspire to the condition of Art, with all the usual accessories of Meaning, Culture, Reference, etc. … the mind boggles, and having boggled, moves on.
To all of which we Snark Hunters must say — pshaw! It is we, the Carrollian Thickies of the Sequential Art World, who shall proudly stand up and remind the artistic world that deep underneath it all, The Hunting of the Snark is quite shallow. False pretences begone!

Where's Kiki de Montparnasse when you really need her?
Know thyself is easier said than done when you're a Snarkhunter equipped with the cerebral capacity of a concussed bee.
We see here the Bellman doing his best to keep his crews' spirits up with a bit of anapestic music-hall-cum-ontological crosstalk, all of it involving some sort of terribly misplaced sense of the Socratic Method … a peripatetic method which requires the use of one's legs, legs which are now growing comfortably numb as the hemlock works its way downwards.
Season of woe indeed!

Happy Birthday, Yamini!
Since yesterday was my daughter Yamini's birthday and since she is a Francophile sans pareil and furthermore, since she is far away in the City of Light right now, I thought it appropriate to cook up some Choice Fables of Jean de La Fontaine, seasoned with obscurant shadows and a soupcon of W.H. Auden and Pieter Brueghel, all for her!
Observant readers will remember that the above landscape is the very same one in which the HMS Snark sailed through on its way to Snark Island …
A Dog Who Took His Prey for Shadow (VI; 17)
There's only illusion on offer down here:
all the fools chase their shadows till their
swelling numbers soon appear
to make the wise despair.
Aesop's dog was of that obscurant race
his prey reflected on the water's face,
left one for the other to give chase
he nearly drowned with little grace
but returned enlightened to river's shore
and mistook shadow for prey no more
Le Chien qui lâche sa proie pour l'ombre
Chacun se trompe ici-bas :
On voit courir après l'ombre
Tant de fous qu'on n'en sait pas
La plupart du temps le nombre.
Au chien dont parle Ésope il faut les renvoyer.
Ce chien, voyant sa proie en l'eau représentée,
La quitta pour l'image, et pensa se noyer.
La rivière devint tout d'un coup agitée;
A toute peine il regagna les bords,
Et n'eut ni l'ombre ni le corps.

Te Puia kicks off TRENZ in traditional Māori style
Over 1100 national and international tourism delegates were treated to a spectacular evening of culture, cuisine and entertainment recently as Te Puia played host to the 2015 TRENZ welcome function.
As New Zealand's premium international trade event, TRENZ provides the opportunity for tourism operators from around New Zealand to meet with international tourism buyers and media, and attracted record numbers to Rotorua this year.
Selected as hosts as much for our world-wide reputation for manaakitanga (hosting) as our quality function facilities, Te Puia set the stage in the Geothermal Valley where our Te Arawa people have been guiding for 170 years.
Te Puia conference, functions and events manager, Nick Dallimore, says months of behind the scenes preparation came together for a breath-taking action-packed evening that some have called the best TRENZ welcome for more than 15 years.
"From being wowed by Western Heights High School Kapa Haka Group, to watching videos of the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute's projects from around the world, experiencing the Carving and Weaving schools in action, to a massive Pōwhiri from Tangata Whenua. All followed by delicious food and drinks and entertainment from stilt walkers and New Zealand's Modern Maori Quartet.
"Everyone has been raving about the event during the TRENZ exhibition," he says.
Guests didn't miss a moment with large digital screens placed for a close up view of the pōwhiri – particularly during the powerful Wero (challenge) lead by Wetini Mitai.
"There is nothing like hosting people in your own home and bringing them to your place to experience manaakitanga first hand," says Mr Dallimore.
"The evening had an emotional impact on guests that could never be achieved with just a brochure, and these guests are the ones responsible for bringing visitors into New Zealand.
"It's just fantastic and will position both Te Puia | NZMACI and Rotorua well for continued visitor development."
Te Puia | NZMACI are responsible for protecting and perpetuating Māori culture, traditions, arts and crafts under legislation established in 1963, and as cultural ambassadors, the welcome function was a celebration of the collective on behalf of Tuhourangi, Ngati Wahiao, Ngati Whakaue, Ngati Pikiao and Te Arawa Nui Tonu.
A collaboration of chefs from seven tourism industry hotels and the Poutama Trust came together with our executive chef to create an outstanding menu of traditional and contemporary cuisine.
Mr Dallimore says Te Puia are pleased with what they achieved and are excited to see what the future brings through Te Puia's gates.

Mr. Speaker, today we learned that the Minister of Transport will not come to the committee to defend his budget. Why? It is because he is afraid he will have to defend the cutting of $20 million a year from VIA Rail services.
The service plans to cut routes from Halifax to Vancouver, including Toronto, Montreal, London, Kitchener and Niagara Falls. This will start a downward spiral.
Why are the Conservatives cutting the train services that link Canadians from coast to coast to coast?

Wednesday, April 12, 2006, 09:50 AM - General InfoHow cool is this? You can print off paper templates and then cut, fold, paste until you have miniature stand up video arcade game. Very nice! Gauntlet, Defender, Pac-Man, Tempest, Robotron, & Gravitar! This rocks. Someone on the forum here was talking about designing something like this with some mini-arcade tabletops, but in full scale instead of miniaturized like these. Were still waiting... :)

Tuesday, March 28, 2006, 11:22 PM - General InfoHello! Today you may have noticed a few changes to miniarcade.com. The most obvious, is the creation of this blog and also the addition of google advertisements. Miniarcade.com has been completely ad-free since 1999, but now 7 years later here they are - oh no! Well....what can I say - I basically just need for this website to pay for itself. I once posted a donation campaign through paypal to help pay for hosting, domain, and bandwidth costs. Not one single person donated money! Not a dime! Ha Ha Ha rather funny actually.
So now I have added text only advertisements to help offset the yearly costs of maintaining the website. Sorry about that, but I tried to keep it to a reasonable level. When I was testing the ads, I actuall saw some pretty good, often funny sites come up. For instance a strange 'pac-boy' lcd handheld game from China came up for sale through a linked site. I purchased that straight away! If you happen to click an ad every now and then, this helps to support the miniarcade site and keep it alive. If you don't click and totally ignore them, that's OK too.
The other new addition to the site is this blog page. I figured this would help offset the ill-ness of the google ads. So in return I will post things here as often as possible. I will update you on things I see happening in the crazy world of video game culture - both retro and new. Events, news, expositions, new releases, strange finds and discoveries, ebay insanities, handheld games and retro items for sale, yada yada.
And even more will be coming to the website soon. Stay tuned all you game culture junkies... :)

Hundreds of people who make their living in the recreational vehicle business will again convene with the industry's national and regional leadership as well as area civic leaders on the morning of May 8, for a fortifying breakfast and a thought-provoking business agenda during the 2nd Annual RV Industry Power Breakfast at the Northern Indiana Event Center and RV/MH Hall of Fame in the RV-building hub of Elkhart, Ind.
This year's Power Breakfast, featuring a 7 a.m. buffet and a 7:15 a.m. program emceed by Dicor Corp. President Gregg Fore, immediate past chairman of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), is facilitated by Elkhart-based RVBusiness magazine and sponsored by Dicor, Dometic Corp., Forest River Inc., Thor Industries Inc., Jayco Inc., GE Capital, Kampgrounds of America Inc. and Spartan Motors Inc.
The mission of this annual event, developed in an era when a revitalized and somewhat consolidated industry has circled its wagons around Elkhart County in a big way – with 85% of the nation's wholesale RV shipments now originating from the greater "Michiana" area – is much the same as last year's successful inaugural event, reports RVB Publisher Sherman Goldenberg.
"There's a sense among some industry people in northern Indiana's RV-building zone not only in Elkhart, but in other communities like LaGrange, Shipshewana, Topeka, Middlebury, Millersburg, Syracuse, Bristol, Goshen, Wakarusa, Nappanee and Decatur, that we could all do a better job of working together as a cohesive force at times here and that it wouldn't hurt any of us to slow down for a moment – once a year — to showcase the dynamic, job-generating power of this industrial sector," says Goldenberg.
"At the same time," he added, "we'll bring home some of the industry-specific intelligence that's available from a national advocate like RVIA, which recently held its annual meeting in San Diego."
RVBusiness teams with Elkhart-based BJ Thompson Associates in coordinating the May breakfast, which also spotlights representatives from the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), the Go RVing Coalition and Kampgrounds of America Inc. as well as the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce and, schedule permitting, teleconference remarks from first-term U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind).
"The RV industry last year took another step forward in terms of recovery, posting a 12.4% gain in 2013 wholesale shipments thanks in part to the upswing of the general economy and outdoor recreation in particular, and we're looking for more of the same in 2014 and beyond," noted BJ Thompson, veteran chairman of RVIA's Public Relations Committee. "Having said that, the RV sector tends to ebb and flow with the American economy and we need to keep people – including rank-and-file personnel here in northern Indiana – apprised of the trends, obstacles and opportunities that exist now and down the road."
Among those stepping up to the Power Breakfast podium will be RVIA Chairman Doug Gaeddert, a general manager for Elkhart-based Forest River, as well as RVIA President Richard Coon and KOA CEO Jim Rogers – all three of whom will be available after the 7-10 a.m. breakfast program for an off-the-record "RVIA Breakout Session" covering any number of topics that attendees might choose to bring up.
Meanwhile, the breakfast program will include two anchor segments, the first being an updated look at the industry's Go RVing marketing program led by James Ashurst, vice president of communications and marketing for RVIA, with an assist from RVDA President Phil Ingrassia and Go RVing Coalition Co-Chairmen Bob Wheeler, president of Airstream Inc., and Tom Stinnett, principal of Tom Stinnett Derby City RV Center.
Anchoring the program's second half will be a fast-paced panel discussion featuring a roster of six influential manufacturers and suppliers in addition to Gaeddert, including Thor Industries President & CEO Bob Martin; Jayco Inc. President & COO Derald Bontrager; Lippert Components Inc. CEO Jason Lippert; Patrick Industries Inc. President & CEO Todd Cleveland; and Airxcel Inc. President & CEO Mel Adams.
Look for an announcement shortly regarding tickets, which will be available ($30 for singles or $225 for a table of 8) online or by visiting the RV/MH Hall of Fame or RVB's (2901 E Bristol Street) Elkhart office.

Everybody knows that black is slimming.
My mother told me black was slimming, fashion magazines continue to say the same and friends insist on it too. And it is, some of the time. But not always.
There's a cult-like belief that every woman simply must have a little black dress (LBD) or else all manner of disasters will happen. Society's very foundations will collapse and the sun will fall from the sky! Well maybe not, but you get my point.
The truth is, not everyone suits black. If you have very pale skin then black on its own with a string of pearls may well make you appear ill – and a little dress isn't right for everyone's figure. It's not a case of slipping on an LBD and hey ho, look who it is – Audrey Hepburn! The curvier woman often needs length to give a more elegant shape and may prefer coverage in problem areas, such as upper arms. 'You must have an LBD – or else' articles are just silly.
It's so tempting to rely on the safety of black, it's like a familiar friend who has always been there but the truth is that darker colours don't always make you look slimmer. Simply because like brighter colours, black and brown have different shades. And those different shades don't suit everyone.
Laura Anderson, online merchandiser for French label La Redoute says, 'The great thing about brown and black is that they are two colours that are versatile for both summer and autumn/winter holidays. A perfect option for brunettes is a rich walnut shade while a deep chocolate brown will lend itself nicely in contrast a lighter hair colour.'
Even though I'm as pale as chips, I do prefer black as it's so classic. For important meetings and speeches I wear black but to prevent a sickly pallor because of the contrast with my skin, I accessorise with a scarf of another colour. It livens it up, and prevents my curves morphing into a mass of one dimensional black.
According to top stylist and colour expert Amanda Bernstein from Personal Dressing, a common error women make is choosing colours that suit friends or celebrities in a magazine, but definitely not them! Like some perfumes smell lovely on someone else but not so much on you, different colours highlight good and bad aspects of different people so we must pick carefully.
"Some women try to alter their colour choices based on the company they keep. They see a friend wearing a more daring colour and think they should do the same," says Bernstein.
I don't try and con myself that pastel colours look good on me, they make me appear very washed out, instead I go for brighter patterned colours or dear old black. Fit is very much a thing for me; as I've mentioned on this blog before I need a deep v neck and a gathered in waist or else I just appear shapeless. Smocks don't work for me, but a wrap around top does.
One of the fun things about more retail outlets on the high street accommodating the curvier figure now is, we can go into shops now, try clothes on and experiment. Before, many of us just ordered outfits from catalogues then more often than not cried in disappointment on their arrival because they looked great on the model on the catalogues pages but not us.
As more shops come around to the curvy way of thinking, I look forward to having even more fun with different colours!

Hollywood has tried for years to make a good movie based on a video game, and failed. May as well try making one based on an indie game, then!
Many of the current crop of indie darlings are represented here, from the gorgeous Shank to the clever Super Meat Boy, though it's a shame there's no Braid trailer, featuring a man endlessly sipping, then unsipping, a glass of red wine.

State universities in Kansas follow Qualified Admissions (QA) criteria when admitting undergraduate students. These criteria are set by the Kansas Board of Regents, the governing body for the six state universities. The purpose of QA is to enhance success at the university level by ensuring students are prepared for the rigors of a university education. The institutions that use QA for admission are: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, and Wichita State University.
Qualified Admissions for High School Graduates Academic Year 2015-2016 and After
The Kansas Board of Regents has statutory authority to enact rules and regulations for admission to state universities. The Qualified Admissions Rules and Regulations were enacted to implement K.S.A. 76-717, the statute that details undergraduate admissions standards for state universities.
The Kansas State Scholarship is designed to assist financially needy students in the top 20-40% of Kansas high school graduates who are designated as state scholars during the senior year of high school. Completion of the Kansas Scholars Curriculum is one component of the scholarship requirements.

"Many of the most important questions in biology are also questions of ethics, sociology, and politics."
Sarah Bray gets excited about invasions—of plants, that is. Invasive plants and their effect on ecology is her primary research area, and she relies on Transylvania students to help her with that work.
"I've had four students work with me on a project to examine the effect of honeysuckle invasion on decomposition and on microbial and micro-invertebrate communities," says Bray. "Another student worked with me on the disturbance caused by goldenrod in an old-growth field."
With that kind of experience under their belts, Bray's students are well prepared to compete for top placements after they graduate. "Two of our biology graduates recently won very competitive and prestigious National Science Foundation graduate research fellowships, and we've seen students enter outstanding medical, veterinary, physical therapy, and physician's assistant programs. Recent graduates also have entered programs in neuroscience, animal behavior, molecular genetics, and entomology."
Bray attributes this success in large part to the opportunities Transylvania provides for lab and field work, and the close relationship between students and faculty members. "Many schools offer the opportunity for highly motivated students to do independent research with faculty," she points out. "At Transylvania, you have these same opportunities, and you can design and implement real experiments in all of your classes. Because classes are small and faculty members teach all the labs, students can get involved in research every year."
Bray also touts the value of Transylvania's liberal arts curriculum. "It's important for scientists to be able to communicate with other scientists, but we must be able to communicate with the public and policymakers as well," she says. "The liberal arts training gives students those skills."

Months ago I purchased my first ever Groupon. For just $40 I was entitled to $100 worth of digitized pictures. Though I didn't have any old family pictures at the time , I knew this was a great deal worth buying into. Plus, I figured that once I had spent the money I would actually get myself to work on obtaining old photos to have scanned. And that's just what happened.
As the June 15 deadline to use the Groupon neared I remembered having looked at an album full of old family pictures at Tito's house last Thanksgiving. These pictures originally belonged to his mother, Lydia, who is first cousins with my mother (on the Colomb-Mondesi St. Lucia side). Mere days before the groupon expired I borrowed the album and sent some of the pictures away for digitizing (I didn't thinking I would have enough on my account to have the entire album).
I had to wait a little longer than anticipated to get the pictures back as the company had an overwhelming response to the Groupon offer. They finally arrived this week. Here are a sampling, in no particular (or even logical) order:
If I remember correctly, when we were looking at these pictures at Thanksgiving my mother told me this picture was taken at Carnaval. Lydia would often take her younger cousins out on the town for different activities. I think the the first two little girls on the left might be Berta and my mom…
In this picture you can see Lydia's commentary about the gentlemen in the photo: "Daddy and friends (Big Shots)." Her father would be none other than Jose Julio Colomb, my grandmother Tere's brother. He is fondly known as Papa Gil (this was a French patois name, pronounced like "Jill".)
I have no doubt as to who's the subject of the following picture. 🙂
Any picture of my late Tia Ilka is particularly special, for obvious reasons. I love this one – she's second to the left – because she just looks so darn cute with her short 'do and funky glasses. I'm pretty sure that's Rita on the far right.
There were so many primas, they did everything in batches. Here, some are celebrating their first communion.
The labeling on this picture mystifies me a bit. I believe the first word is "Isabel," indicating it is a picture of the youngest of Nana Tere's siblings. Below the name it says "Teresa wedding." My mom explained to me that she not wearing a veil at her own sister's wedding, but a paño, which was a head covering all Catholic women wore in church until the changes of Vatican II.
Wait, maybe this is the picture my mom said was from Carnaval…I don't know, but aren't they cute in their traditional Panamanian garb?
Here's proof that my tios and their primos really were once children.
I challenge you to find a baby picture more precious than this one! Behold Tia Mirna in all of her chubby, chocolate baby glory.
Many thanks to Lydia and Tito for these treasures! More to come in a future post.

About a month ago I uploaded my transcription of Sommarfågel by Wintergatan. Here: https://musescore.com/user/28891226/scores/5475794
I was updating my score today and decided to browse what others had done.
I stumbled upon an arrangement by JLevasier, https://musescore.com/user/19752226/scores/5519648, posted about a month after mine. It appears to be an exact copy of my arrangement, except for instrument changes and transpositions up/down octaves. Even my dynamics are there.
Obviously, I am not the original author of the piece, as it was written by the band Wintergatan. I also used two YouTube videos, which I credited in my description, to help with some of the transcription. However, some of my upload is original, as I couldn't transcribe everything perfectly. Some of the bass and violin parts are of my own doing.
I don't know much about music ownership or copyright. Since I'm not the original author, does that mean that it's okay for JLevasier to reupload my arrangement with a few minor changes? I commented on his/her upload for credit in their description. Should I have done that? Any comments on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all and have a nice day!
i need orchestra arrangement for this score please string instruments only https://musescore.com/user/194325/scores/5525045
Hi, I'm trying to find the Alto sax part for 'How sweet it is to be loved by you' by Jr. Walker and the All Stars
When I searched for this, all i got was a meme medley
Can you help?
dose anyone have sheet music for metallica songs.
I think the sound of the Warm Synth is very good, and I wish this was the default sounds - - with a few adjustments - - to the group string sounds, i.e., Violins, Violas, Violincellos, Contrabasses. Please have a listen!
This work is taking the piece called ''Reminiscence'' by @romain_gandillet (link here:
) and creating a melody that sits on top of the piece, thus creating a new piece. The idea is inspired from the comment section of the gandillet's piece, where @Jenne Van Antwerpen commented how the piano sounds like Bach's prelude C major from WTC band 1 and that one could try adding a melody on top like Gounod did for Bach.
I have heard this question asked many times during my early professional career, and each time I recoil when I hear it. The fact is, this question is just a way for composers to point an accusatory finger because their art was not met with the glowing reception they crave. Although the question is inherently selfish, the sentiment behind it is legitimate; people do not respect new "intellectual" music anymore. That said, the question approaches the issue from the wrong angle. Composers should instead look inwards to search out what they could be doing to make the listener's job easier, while at the same time not sacrificing their sense of artistry.
It is the opinion of the author that all music lies on a spectrum of purely popular to purely intellectual. Although these definitions change with the times, all music, contemporary and ancient, fall on this spectrum. For instance, Katy Perry's newest hit single would fall as close to the "purely popular" side of the spectrum as possible. This ensures that she has as much popularity as possible, but it limits the intellectual nature of the art. Similarly, Milton Babbit falls as close to the "purely intellectual" side of the spectrum as possible, crafting highly complex music that the average music lover would not enjoy. There is certainly a place for those composers in this day and age, and maybe someday that music will be accepted, but since the academic composer of the last eighty years has met with little success in this area, it would be a safe assumption to say that this scenario is unlikely.
To get to the source of the issue, we must ask ourselves: "what is the role of music?" This question is deceptively simple, but ask the academic composer and the average listener alike, and they will come up with answers that may seem the same on the surface, but are in reality very different. The academic might say: "music is for the expression of the inward thought processes, shaped by personal experience and self-growth, managed by our interpretation of those experiences through our intellectual compositional paths," while the average listener will probably say "music makes me feel good." This satirical comparison aside, you can see that the listener listens to music to feel, while the academic thinks to compose. This is the author's opinion of the state of the art. Composers have invested so much in their ability to think up something that no one has thought of before, while ignoring the listeners who love listening to a genre that bases itself upon music that is mostly creatively stagnant and alike to itself.
The question composers should be asking is not pointed towards the audience, but rather towards themselves: "what can I do to reach the audience while not sacrificing my intellectual identity or artistic style?" If the academics ask themselves this question, they will begin to make a connection with the listener, even if the two do not agree completely on style, for at least then, the composer is working for the listener, and not the other way around. When classical music was at its peak, this was the preeminent mindset of the composer. There was no guaranteed second performance of their newest piece, so they wrote to please their audience, but in the case of Beethoven (and others), he still adjusted the musical language for his intellectual purposes. This is why classical music (referring to music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and jazz are still the most popular recital hall concerts – the genres balance intellectual pursuits of the composer and the desires of the listener.
New music of any intellectual degree will never eclipse the popularity of Katy Perry or the Rolling Stones. That is a given. However, when the composer removes himself from the listener, claiming that it is the listener who owes him and not the other way around, music will never again make a true connection with the listener. Only when the academic composer decides to reach out to the listener will the listener reach out in return, meeting each other in the middle, experiencing music through both the creative lens of the composer and the emotional heart of the listener. Until that happens, the listener owes the composer absolutely nothing.

After my 1st Blogganniversary I decided to pause for a while in cooking to give way to a nice Sweet Sunny weather of Sweden. Please come and join me as I explore the summer beauty of Nynäshamn.
Nynäshamn is a special place to me. If you listen to a Swedish local on how they pronounce Nynäshamn, It will sound like "Nino's Hamn" which means "Nino's Port" if translated in english. Very cool ha? LOL! Somebody knew long before that a
very special handsome guy will come to visit this port and blog a nice story about it. So, they named it after him.
Nynäshamn is a locality and the seat of Nynäshamn Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden with 13,510 inhabitants in 2010.
While interest in the area as a potentially useful port grew from the mid 19th Century, it was only with the opening of the railway to Stockholm in 1901 that Nynäshamn started to develop.
During the early 20th Century, Nynäshamn also became well known as a spa town, though most such facilities were closed down before the end of World War I. Main industries arrived through Telegrafverkets verkstäder (the factories of the Government owned telephone company ) in 1916 and an oil refinery built in 1928-29 by Axel Ax:son Johnson & Co. The latter still remains though under different ownership and under the name Nynas.
If you are wondering what cargo we are carrying?
It is BITUMEN ASPALT. Yes, you are right!
the Aspalt pavement on every streets of the World.
Nynäshamn, which lies about 60 km south of Stockholm, is well known for being one of the places on the Swedish mainland from where ferries to the island Gotland depart. This is a hugely popular destination for Swedes of all ages in the summer months. The Polferries terminal also offer regular routes to Gdansk in Poland. Several cruise ships on tours in the Baltic Sea also stay in the harbour, because they are too large to go into Stockholm.
Life in Nynäshamn is generally relaxed, in contrast to the bustle of Stockholm.
Summer Fruit and Vegetable of Nynäshamn
Summer will never be complete without the FLOWERS!
What a nice time to enjoy an Hour of Siesta. But all good things must come to an end!
Thanks alot for spending your precious time on my blog and wish you join me again
