This 4000 sq. ft. luxury chalet is located on the mountainside near Vail. This great alpine setting offers spectacular views and backs up to the National Forest. From our home it is a 7 mile drive to Vail on I-70.
Our home has three levels with 4 bedrooms plus a 5th bedroom-office off the master, and there are 3.5 bathrooms with marble, granite and tile. The first level has 3 bedrooms and a game room. Each of the bedrooms has a queen bed and one has a twin as well.
The master bedroom suite occupies the top level. The office off the master has been converted to a bedroom with a queen bed (perfect for families). The master suite has cathedral ceilings and decks on two sides. The master has its own refrigerator, whirlpool tub and gas stove and TV
The center level (great room) is one large room perfect for entertaining. This whole level has been recently remodeled. Wood floors through out and an all new kitchen with granite counter tops new cabinets and appliances. There is also a built in bar with refrigerator and ice maker. There are new leather couches and a dining table that will seat up to 10.
The great room has large decks wrapping around the building along with 5 sliding glass doors that open onto the decks. The kitchen is part of the great room and does not separate the cooks from the party. We just put in all new rock fireplace and 65 inch TV with Bose sound system. The rock is the same as the Four Seasons in Vail. The gas fireplace will keep the whole great-room warm even when the outside temps are well below zero. The hot tub is on the deck right off the great room and has 2 motors running 56 jets to sooth the aching muscles.
The garage will hold two cars and is heated. The driveway is heated as well and the county takes very good care of the road up to the home.
In Ski Season we rent mostly by the week. Saturday to Saturday
Please e-mail for for further information.

My brother Walt and I are partners in the home. I am a retired veterinarian in Colorado Springs and Walt is a Lawyer with Morris Nichols Arsch and Tunnell in Wilmington DE. We have owned the home for 16 years and have done extensive remodeling projects every summer.
I am an avid skier and kiteboarder. Love the outdoor and Vail is a great place to be.
Bill Tuthill purchased this chalet in 1994
We decided on this location because of it's proximity to the best skiing and because of its size and views. We wanted a place where we could get our families together at the same time. We also like the place because of its private alpine setting up the mountain and backing to the National Forest.
Lots of room, Great views and privacy. Wonderful great room for everybody to be together cooking, lounging and enjoying the hot tub. Very family and group friendly.
I have been renting our home in Vail through vailnet for the past 6 years. We have not used the guest book or calendar before this year. Our guest have been very happy with our home during this time. Please contact me if I can answer any questions. See my e-mail address on our add.
We arrived easily at night following the directions given. Everything lit up as we approached the detached garage. We carried all of our luggage up a huge, outdoor staircase, which led us to the bottom level of the house. The house was beautiful, just like the pictures portray. The great room is magnificent as was the outdoor hot tub. The kitchen is far better stocked than I was lead to believe, as there is a veritable cornucopia of leftover dry foods. The master bedroom has a white carpet, which terrified me as I was traveling with 2 small, very active boys.
Bill was a pleasure to deal with and I only needed to contact the him once during our stay but every time we spoke, he was always pleasant, considerate, and knowledgeable. Overall the house gets a 4/5, beautiful, large, well furnished, modern and spacious and really only loses a point because of the unending stairs from the outside and up 2 more stories inside to the master. I would definitely recommend the house to a large family or 2 families. Just watch out for grandma and grandpa negotiating those stairs.
This is an amazing property. The layout is great with an open floorplan between the kitchen, dining room and great room.
The kitchen is enormous with a great bar area so there is plenty of space to cook and carry a conversation with friends.
The great room has huge skylights and is just enormous. Finally the dining room has a beautiful wood table that easily seats 8-10 people.
We loved the walls of glass, which allowed us to soak in the view of the mountains while perched high up in the Eagle-Vail community. Just outside the glass doors is a huge hot tub where one can literally "soak" in this stunning view.
Beyond the property, Bill was great to work with and accessible. The appliances are top notch, the cookware high end and the pantry fully stocked. The master bedroom is the entire top floor while the remaining large bedrooms are on the first floor. Also on the first floor is a brilliantly designed mudroom for a bunch ski boots, helmets, gloves and jackets - very large and plenty of hooks and cubbies for everything to air out.
The property is well-built and as a result, isolated noise really well. We found the evenings to be super quiet.
This was truly a luxurious place and made for an amazing family vacation!! Thanks Bill!!
We were very happy with this home. It was kept clean, very beautiful, had many "extras" (like towels, sheets, fans, first aid, cooking supplies, etc.) for just in case. We felt very at home and taken care of. There was plenty of room for our 3 families. The location was perfect as well. Up on a hill with a great view. Right near Vail, beaver creek, and a quick drive from Aspen, Breckenridge, and Copper mountain. We got to see a lot! Thanks for a great vacation rental experience!
If you are traveling with a large group, I would definitely recommend this rental. We went with a group of 10 and had plenty of room for everyone. We had 6 children in all and everyone had a great time. The set up of the rental was perfect for us. The view was amazing from every angle of the house. We definitely felt at home and had everything we needed. The large size kitchen allowed us to cook meals and seat everyone at once. Condiments and cooking essentials were at our fingertips. It was nice not having to buy all the little stuff when we got there. The hot tub was very relaxing. If ever traveling with another family again, I would definitely look into staying here again.
We offer a very private location with great views.
There is a hiking for snowshoeing trail 200 yards from our home. The Vail golf clubhouse is also about 200 yds. The runs of Beaver Creek are on the mountain above us but we are not ski ski out.

The Sunday, June 22 Paddle Ohio Kick-off event on the Grand State Wild & Scenic River was a huge success with 55 paddlers.
The trip was 4.5 river miles going from Mason's Landing to Helen Hazen Wyman Lake Metroparks.
From event coordinator Matthew Smith:
We were overwhelmed by the numbers of people who wanted to attend this event and could have possibly doubled the numbers if it were feasible. We had 55 people attend the event, some used ODNR canoes, Lake Metroparks canoes/kayaks, and some brought their own.
Brian Fowler from Lake Metroparks and all his staff and volunteers were wonderful to work with and provided awesome assistance. A special thank you to Bill Staiger, Scott Stauffer and Dustin Majewski: your help was invaluable. Also we had two contractual volunteers help, Pete Moss and Doug White.
One of the attendees was Judge Bartolotta and his wife. Judge Bartolotta appoints the Lake Metroparks board members. So many people who attended and also those who did not get to attend really hope that more events like this are sponsored in the future.

As of 8 p.m., I counted 138 limited edition Anthony Davis posters for sale on E-bay.
The highest bid for one of the posters is $152.50.
The poster, designed and shot by Chet White of UK Athletics, was placed on each seat for last night's game with Florida. Because of their limited nature, they have been quite the topic of conversation, and the objects of desire.
Not everyone is happy, however.
David writes:
I am emailing all of you at the same time because I have hopes one of you will give voice to those of us out here that aren't the 'fat cats' or the very fortunate who attended last night's game vs. Florida and were able to walk away with a poster of Anthony Davis that is an obvious keepsake (I can already picture having it framed and hung on my office wall).
Why would UK do this "special favor" to just the 24K fans attending this game. What about the several million of us out here that can't afford to make the game?
Are we supposed to buy ours via eBay for $50 to $150??? Further I understand they printed 30K of them – what happens to the other 6K?
My response: It shouldn't be a surprise that UK would take care of those who buy the tickets.

Mark your calendars for the 2010 AA-AA Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This year, our theme is Spring Break Weekend and we aim to take every bit of your stress away.
"Spring Break Weekend" Program Highlights
Day 1:
Noon: Mimosas and Motivation
Join our keynote speaker, famed college basketball coach Rick Pittino, as he shares stories of dumb things he did when he was drunk. He is the epitome of a happy ending, having survived scandal and humiliation and laughed all the way to the bank.
3:00: Happy Hour and Hangover Responsibility
Practice techniques you can teach students to prevent vomiting, hangovers, and other behaviors that lead to community disruptions.
7:00: "We Can Have Fun Without Drinking" Dinner/Casino Cruise
While you don\'t have to preach abstinence in order to promote responsible drinking, it\'s great to role model use of non-chemical sources of entertainment. Fun activities like gambling can take your mind off the temptations of alcohol.
Day 2
Noon: Design Your Own Day
At past conferences, we found that participants slept through all of the morning session on Day 2, and whined about the afternoon workshops. We listened to that feedback, and designed the program so you can write your own itinerary for the rest of the convention.
We\'ll leave the bar open for plenty of those "What would our students say if they saw us here?" conversations that we enjoy so much during these retreats.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- NFL prospect Michael Sam is "courageous" to acknowledge he is gay but could face problems in the locker room, New York Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas says.
After Sam, a defensive end at Missouri, announced last week he is a "proud, gay man," speculation grew about whether NFL teams would take him in this year's draft. Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch have said the team would not rule out selecting Sam.
"I think society is ready for it and America's ready for it, but I don't think the NFL is," Thomas told ESPN Tuesday. "As a player, all you want to know is if he can play. That's on the field. But in the locker room, it's different. There's a lot of talk and joking around, and some guys walk around completely naked all the time, and they might not want to do that anymore. When you add that situation to the mix, I think it's going to make some people uncomfortable."
Asked whether he has already played with gay players, Thomas, 29, said, "I'm pretty sure I have.
Thomas, who has spent six years with the Giants, said bringing in a gay player could result in "unwanted attention to your organization, unwanted questions that you have to answer," he said. "It puts a lot of pressure on certain people who don't want to be in that position.''
"I'm not saying he's selfish by any means," Thomas said "I know what he did is very courageous, a lot of people wouldn't do that, but at the same time no one really knows if the NFL is ready for it.''
Michael Sam Sr. told the New York Times he loves his son and hopes me makes it to the NFL, but he said he is "a man-and-a-woman type of guy" and is not comfortable with his son's sexuality.
"I don't want my grandkids raised in that kind of environment," he said.

Recycling Market Development Zone
The Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) is a two-way partnership between the Siskiyou Economic Development Council (SEDC) and CalRecycle. The RMDZ forms a nexus of local landfill diversion and economic development efforts. Essential to this partnership is the participation of recycling-based business. RMDZ representatives search for competent, motivated processors and manufacturers willing to initiate or expand the use of recycled materials. The RMDZ program is designed to give local recycling based businesses a competitive edge and offers low interest loans to eligible companies.
The RMDZ works to divert significant quantities of recoverable resources from being thrown into Siskiyou County transfer sites. The RMDZ stimulates the usage of recycled materials by local manufacturers. Using recycled materials will help to create a local market for recyclables and products made from recycled products.

The Scandinavian Social Experiment
How rules and reality play out in fathers' lives
Posted Nov 14, 2012
The laws are designed to foster dual earner/caregiver families and involved fathering. The relatively firm national and individual financial footing in these countries has made some of these policies viable. Childcare is subsidized, and a small proportion of adults live below the poverty line. While formal marriage has waned, resulting in about half of children born into marital unions, around 90 percent of children are initially raised in households containing both parents. More and more parents are cohabitating without tying a marital knot. They are also having about two children, a higher rate of fertility than most of Europe.
In 1974, Sweden was the first country to allow fathers to use parental leave. By 1993, Norway had granted four weeks of paternal leave, and by 2011 that had jumped to twelve weeks. Paternal leave is more likely to be used by better educated, wealthier, native-born men. Other kinds of parental buffers are provided. As an example, fathers or mothers can stay home with a sick child, with a limited number of such days paid for in Sweden and Norway and the public sector in Denmark. In the event of parents' splitting, rules govern custody and visitation. The law is designed to privilege the child's interests rather than, as had been the case, the mother's; the law provides for normative joint custody.
How do the laws interface with reality? As Haas and Hwang describe, changes in law in some cases have parallels in behavior, but in other cases there remains a gap between rules and reality.
In the past several decades, Scandinavian fathers have increased the amount of time they spend in childcare, even if the amount of time is lower than mothers. In Sweden, but not Norway, men take on a greater proportion of childcare duties when the child's mother works full-time. More and more men are taking advantage of paternal leave, although this is more likely to be utilized for fathers working in the public than private sector. A small percentage of men increase their work hours after having a child (as might be expected if privileging their breadwinning). Overall, however, relatively few fathers work long hours; in Norway, 15 percent of fathers worked more than 50 hours weekly, compared with 3 percent of mothers. The longer hours and slightly higher pay of fathers' jobs lead to men providing a higher share of family income, but especially in the early aftermath of having had a child. After parental separation, a large majority of children live with mothers rather than fathers, with shared residential custody—around 25 percent—highest in Sweden.
As these patterns suggest, some aspects of a sexual division of labor remain in place, "with fathers more responsible for paid work and breadwinning and mothers more responsible for childcare. Women's roles have changed more than men's roles; paid work is no longer optional for women, but shared involvement in childcare is still optional for men." (p. 323) Additionally, "While Swedes generally support the goal of equal parenthood, individual parents—responding to the reality of men's and women's unequal labor force participation—seem ambivalent about equality, and seldom aspire toward this ideal in their own families…" (p. 324) The upshot of this Scandinavian snapshot is that sex-differentiated parenting and work patterns remain in place, even if they have diminished in recent decades, partly through explicit social engineering.

Football star Warren Sapp joins Shira Lazar on the influencer couch and discusses the emerging scandal of bounties paid to defensive linemen to sack quarterbacks with an intent to cause harm. He also discusses the Colts dropping Peyton Manning.
"Trust me, everybody's gonna take a look at Peyton Manning," said Sapp on the news of Manning getting dropped by the Colts.
"You couldn't walk into a room and offer us a $1,000 for the quarterback. He was already going to get tasted. He was the desert!" said Sapp, commenting on why a defender wouldn't need the controversial bounty to take opponents out of the game for money.
"In my 13 years, it was never discussed," he said. "It was just this one rogue coordinator."
Also, answering Lazar's question about the ability of more football players to famous, he says "It's easier now. Because, There's Twitter, there's facebook, there's Google+--there's a bunch a different things that you can ignite a whole army" of fans.

Empowered Products debuts TV commercial with authentic portrayal of marriage equality and military service homecoming (VIDEO)Entertainment News, Online Only, Section 4A, Top Highlights Friday, February 14th, 2014
LAS VEGAS — Empowered Products, Inc., an emerging leader in the high-growth sexual wellness sector through its award-winning PINK(R) and Gun Oil(R) brands, has aired its first-ever television commercial. The 60-second spot aired on the Bravo and E! networks in seven major U.S. markets.
Empowered Products stated that it believes its commercial is the first by a major U.S. manufacturer or publicly-traded company to utilize an authentic portrayal of marriage equality and service by gays in the U.S. military. The commercial tells the story of a husband wistfully going through the motions of daily life in the family home awaiting the return of his partner and the joy of his homecoming from service.
"Our Gun Oil® products for men and PINK® products for women are designed for the wellness and sensual enjoyment of everyone, regardless of orientation, preference, and relationship status," said Scott Fraser, president and CEO. "In light of progressive advances in marriage equality and the right to serve our country sweeping across the U.S., we felt this view of life was a story that was not being told with the authenticity and compassion it deserved."

Basically, we just need a plain-text brain-dump from you about how your implementation works and what the APIs. That should be sufficient as a starting point to get the ball rolling. As I've got some experience writing W3C specs, I'm happy to help co-edit. Before starting on an actual spec, the parts we need are: Requirements: a simple list of what the requirements are. (e.g., there must be a means to request the user's attention.) APIs: some IDL (or pseudo code) and a brief description of each of the attribute or method. A description of how you envision notifications play with HTML5's browsing contexts/origin. You might also look at what we originally had in the widget spec (search for "The showNotification() Method" and "The getAttention() Method"): http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/waf/widgets-api/Overview.src.html?rev=1.87&content-type=text/html;%20charset=iso-8859-1 showNotification() was based on some old HTML5 text, which was removed about a year ago.

By EDUARDO A. ENCINA
Published May 3, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG -- Joe Maddon knew RHP Jae Seo could return to the form that gave the Rays manager the confidence to name him the team's No. 2 starter.
But April wasn't kind to the right-hander, who had allowed 30 runs in 23 2/3 innings, the most in the majors, and worked to a 9.51 ERA. Opponents were batting .398 against him.
But this was the same pitcher who gave the Rays eight outings of six or more innings while allowing two or fewer runs in 16 starts last season.
The key in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Minnesota was keeping it simple. Seo allowed just two runs, both on Torii Hunter's homer in the second inning, on seven hits over six innings.
"Tonight it was just pitching, " Seo said. "The last game, too much thinking."
Seo's outing Wednesday mirrored last season for another reason because when he left the game, he was trailing 2-1. Last season, he had the lowest run support among all AL starters.
"Jeo Seo had a nice comeback tonight, " Maddon said. "After Hunter hit the homer, you're concerned that it might start to snowball, but he kept it in check and continued to pitch well."
NORTY ON REHAB: 1B/DH Greg Norton, who had right knee surgery on April 2, will report to Double-A Montgomery for a rehab assignment and play in his first game Friday.
Maddon said he wants Norton to get about 30 at-bats at Montgomery. Norton was 1-for-11 in three extended spring training games.
Last year, Norton strained his left hamstring late in spring training, but he said this year's recovery had been more difficult because of the added off time.
BOOF'S BACK: St. Pete native and former Gibbs High product Boof Bonser, pitching his second game in his hometown, noticed slightly less fanfare in his return.
"It was a little less, " said Bonser, who allowed just one run on six hits over six innings. "I think I got more heckled this year. I'll tell you that. It's a little weird, but that's baseball."
MINOR MATTERS: At Triple-A Durham, RHP Jason Hammel struck out 10 and walked none Tuesday. Hammel allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings. He has 39 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings, and opposing hitters are batting just .195 against him. ... Montgomery RHP James Houser, on the DL because of his wisdom teeth being pulled, will miss at least his next start after tweaking an oblique during a bullpen session. ... Both benches cleared twice in Montgomery's game against Jacksonville on Sunday, and two players plus Biscuits manager Billy Gardner Jr. were ejected.
MISCELLANY: The Rays are 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position in this series, with the two hits producing the tying and winning runs Wednesday. ... RHP Al Reyes has a win or save in 10 of the Rays' 12 wins. ... 3B Akinori Iwamura finished second by two votes to Red Sox RHP Hideki Okajima for April's AL rookie of the month award. ... Reds OF and former Rays first-round pick Josh Hamilton was the NL rookie of the month.

The body of a woman who had been reported missing in Corner Brook has been found.
A spokesperson for the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said searchers found the body of Rhonda Collishaw, 36, at 10:35 a.m. Saturday in a wooded area of the city near Western Memorial Regional Hospital.
Collishaw was last seen leaving the hospital on foot Friday afternoon.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death and the Criminal Investigation Division is continuing its investigation.

Sharing Literature Through the Competitors Screen
Salespeople find it useful to view their competitors' literature or to view literature that your company has prepared that compares your products with your competitors. If you associate literature with a competitor, end users can view this literature when they view the competitor record in the Competitors screen.
To share literature through the Competitors screen, you must associate it with a competitor. You must also decide whether to select the Internal flag, which determines whether it is displayed in the Comparative Literature List or the Competitive Literature list of the Competitors screen:
Whether you select Internal depends on what type of literature it is:

Microsoft used as tool of repression by Russian government
by John Moe // Posted: 09/13/10 12:02 PM
A New York Times article got plenty of buzz in tech circles over the weekend. It's about how the Russian government is using the construct of the Microsoft license agreement to crack down and silence dissenters and activist groups. What happens is the authorities will raid an office or organizing location under the premises of making sure that all copies of Windows are licensed. Then they take the computers belonging to those groups, on which is all their organizing information. Lawyers for Microsoft have said they support the government's efforts, saying it's necessary to stop software piracy. But now the company is backtracking, saying they're concerned about the situation and vow to have closer oversight of legal issues in Russia.

Jet Li survives in the Maldives
Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:47 PM | Permalink
Martial arts superstar Jet Li survived the recent tsumani wave while vacationing in the Maldives over the weekend. The "Hero" star (below with actress Zhang Ziyi)and his daughter dashed to safety when a wall of water surged into the hotel where they were staying, according to family friends. The pair ran to higher ground, where Li called his agent to assure him they were all right.
Unfortunately, Victoria's Secret model Petra Nemcova, was not as fortunate as Li. The Czech Republic beauty, who is now recovering in a hospital in Thailand, was on vacation in Phuket with her photographer boyfriend Simon Atlee when waves overwhelmed their beach hut. Nemcova reported hung on to a palm tree for eight hours, and suffered several broken bones, including a broken pelvis. From her hospital bed, Nemcova recalled her recent hell to the New York Post. She said, "Kids were screaming all over the place, screaming, 'Help, help.' And after a few minutes, you didn't hear the kids anymore." Atlee, who shot the photographs for his girlfriend's new 2005 calendar, is still missing.

The House voted Wednesday to delay a law forcing senior government officials to publish information about their finances online.
It's the second time Congress has acted to delay implementation of the much-heralded law aimed at improving government transparency. The House vote would push the deadline for implementation to April 15, 2013.
In September, Congress voted to delay the reporting requirement under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act until Dec. 8, 2012.
The law would require about 28,000 senior officials to disclose their finances online.
The House voted to pass H.R. 6634 the same day it was introduced by House Majority Leader Eric CantorEric Ivan CantorFeehery: The governing party 'Release the memo' — let's stop pretending that Democrats are the defenders of the FBI Raúl Labrador, a model for Hispanic politicians reaching higher MORE (R-Va.).
The new delay appears to be a reaction to the demands of federal workers, who have argued that requiring the publication of officials' financial information could threaten U.S. national security.
Groups representing federal workers have argued that the publication requirement should be scrapped altogether, or at least should be delayed until the completion of a study on what security and privacy risks are posed by making the information public. That study was authorized by Congress in September as part of the first delay, and will be completed by the National Academy of Public Administration sometime in 2013.
"They should have a chance to look at the study and decide whether or not to repeal the provision," Bill Bransford, general counsel of the Senior Executives Association, said in October.
Cantor's bill would appear to provide enough time to complete the study and give Congress some time to assess its results.
When Congress approved the first delay in September, Rep. Jim MoranJames (Jim) Patrick MoranDems face close polls in must-win Virginia Billionaire Trump donor hires lobbyists to help vets Lawmakers: Chaffetz has a point on housing stipend MORE (D-Va.) said he hoped the study will show no need to require senior officials across the government to post their financial information online.
"I am confident that the National Academy study will show that this policy is unnecessary and potentially very harmful," Moran said.
The STOCK Act was a response to charges that members of Congress and senior officials in the government were finding ways to benefit financially from the information they learned on the job. The delay in the public reporting requirements for senior officials does not apply to members of Congress, the president or the vice president.

As well as leading the nation in wartime, being voted Greatest Briton of the 20th century and writing the four-volume History Of The English Speaking Peoples, Churchill also did a lot of bricklaying at Chartwell, his country retreat. On a good day, he could lay 900 bricks - or three times the number needed to get work as a bricklayer on site.
Consult a book of bonds (a kind of pattern book for bricks) before designing your garden wall, then cut bricks with a gentle tap followed by a firm one from a bolster chisel. The key to bricklaying (assuming you have marked out and dug a trench, and filled it with the right concrete footings), however, is buttering your bricks. Scoop up enough mortar to cover the end 3in of your trowel, then flick the trowel downwards and sharply back up again, so that some of the mortar is propelled back on to the mortar board. The rest should now be stuck on to your trowel so that you can hold it upside down and it won't fall off. This is vital for buttering. Scrape a 1in wide line of mortar around the edges of the brick that will abut the one you've just laid into a firm but yielding bed of mortar, then press them gently together.
Like Churchill, I, too, have juggled bricklaying with other careers, though even in my heyday I never came close to the great man's best tally. On our site, he would have had to knock off at 3.45pm, endure tea breaks on the hour and have the gaffer calling him a fat bastard every five minutes.

text: Since this site was launched, sceptical print journalists have been asking me what's so special about blogging. And I always answer by repeating my mantra about the democratic value of journalism as conversation rather than lecture. Jeff Jarvis put up a post today that illustrates the point perfectly. It concerns Harry Evans's New York Times review of a book by that paper's former ombudsman, or "public editor", Daniel Ockrent. According to blogger Rachel Sklar, Evans "tries, not very subtly, to undermine Okrent's contribution to the New York Times". In Jarvis's phrase, the Evans review was "filled with agenda" and suggested he might be "applying for the gig himself". Jarvis declares an interest: he used to work with Okrent and thinks he was a much better ombudsman than the Times's current tapioca chef. I'll declare an interest too: I'm an unabashed Evans fan though, naturally enough, it doesn't mean I always agree with him. Anyway, that's beside the point I'm making here. I don't know enough about Ockrent to enter that debate. I cite this instead as an instance of the value of blogging. Within hours of Evans's review being posted, it was subject to intense criticism itself. The reviews of the review were soon followed by reviews of the reviews of the review. In other words, the words of the almighty journalist, along with those of the journalist's critics, were being questioned, derided and defended. The people were talking back. Can anyone tell me why that is such a bad thing?

The sea surface motion is the superposition of numerous wave trains. Here one to four (linear) waves can be summed, travelling either in the +x direction (denoted with a +1) or the opposite direction (-1). You have the choice of examining one, two, three, or four waves together (by making the appropriate wave heights zero). The displayed quantities: x_max and time denote the width of the viewing panel in meters, and the elapsed time in seconds, repectively. Pressing Stop and then Calculate will reset the time. (Obviously the plot region is not to scale with the depth.) The waves that comprise the total wave field can be viewed in an unsummed form by choosing Components instead of Superpose with the Choice button; however, the animation is much slower and the buttons are less responsive.
A variety of phenomena can be examined with this applet:
The width of the plot window can be adjusted by the slide bar and hitting Stop and Calculate. Be careful that you don't plot too wide an area because the lack of plotting resolution can give spurious results.
The time step is taken as 1/30 of the period of the first wave.

I have a small problem. I was rolling out new changes to our production database. This rollout required me to delete a few tables entirely, reseed them with a "zero" value and when the tables would get repopulated, the identity values would restart from zero. However, that did not happen all my tables have different identity values (depending on what was the last identity value before they were entirely deleted). For example, table A has the first identity value of 6437 and it continues sequentially.
Table B for example starts with 335 identity value now and so on.
What didnt my reseed script work? Please see below my code for deleting & reseeding.
Using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
Thanks, S
asked Dec 16, 2009 at 01:50 PM in Default
I would suggest TRUNCATE table rather then DELETE.
I beleive it is a flaw/limitation in DBCC CHECKIDENT.
I think this is ourr explanation...
From Books Online:
answered Dec 16, 2009 at 02:00 PM
I don't think that the issue has to do with delete v. truncate. I created the following test script, which can't use the truncate due to the FK constraint to mimic the OP.
I ran this, it worked and reseeded the table correctly:
This was the dbcc output:
Beginning execution loop Batch execution completed 1000 times. Checking identity information: current identity value '1000', current column value '0'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
answered Dec 16, 2009 at 05:48 PM
Jay Bonk
Just a thought - Did you run those statements in the correct database?
You may have deleted from database 'Database', but the reseed would be run in the current database - which may be different!
answered Dec 16, 2009 at 02:02 PM
Kev Riley ♦♦
I made a script and used the "USE DATABASE" statement on top. Good catch though because I thought about this too.

The Revelation of Mankind
Written by: Olafemi
Today we are facing a world that is running out of ideas and out of time. I don't want to say that all things are the makings of a god that cares not about a disobedient creation because that would be very wrong. I would, on the other hand, like to say that we have been told of our extinction long before our ending. When we look at what we've been taught and what we've been told, we have had many chances to either change or make the best of our destiny. We have decided to make the best of it.
Our end consists of many different events. These events were designed to keep us ignorant and uncaring of a future that was destined from the beginning. In the beginning we were created to be all that YAHWEH wanted from HIS creations. HE created a living being of flesh and spirit and HE wanted us to be the living image of HIM. HE wanted us to display all that was life which would be all that is LOVE. He gave us all that was needed to be just that and nothing else.
Also our beginning was carefully tended but we were allowed to make choices as was all that was created by YAHWEH. Knowing this a fallen angel wanted to have dominion over all that was in favor of GOD. In his absolute, he wanted to be YAHWEH but because he too was created and he could not be that which created him. So for his disobedience he was allowed to live in the darkness of a void and uninhibited earth until the creation of mankind who was made as ruler over this fallen angel.
Was we not told of the fallen angel, that we would not fall prey to it? Yes we were told not to take from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which YAHWEH knew this fallen angel would be waiting to begin his misleading of our race in time. As was said we would be separated and bilked into a life of confusion. We were given a destiny or a time to live our lives. The fallen angel had been given a certain time in which he could exist and so did mankind after his disobedience. Our time has been getting shorter and shorter throughout time.
Now we are facing a prophecy of our ending destiny. Certain events are to take place in order to finalize the destiny of mankind. The main event that is to take place is the end of our fruitfulness. In order to cease our existence mankind should fall prey of its' lack of LOVE.
This is an event that is taking place with much dominance today. The natural events such as earthquakes, pestilence and disease will be among us with no resistance and we will also be so devastated that when we lose our LOVE for each other it will not be a shocking event but an event that we become accustomed to.
Many people think that the love for same sex is a born to be, hormonal transaction but it was a well planned event from the beginning of our existence. When we learned the traits of the evil and wicked we took on all the characteristics of its teacher. When Adam and Eve were moved out of the Garden of Eden they were protected by GOD and so were their children with an exception of Cane who had taken up with demonic residences outside of the land of Adam.
The fallen angel was not satisfied with having just one of the creations of YAHWEH. The elimination of mankind is what this menace wanted so to do so he lusted for the children of Adam. He would do anything in order to cause destruction of the souls of man. Mankind knew not to socialize with he who wanted our demise but a spirit was able to appear in different forms, as apparitions or deceptions to the eyes of the living. So in disguise the wicked appeared to mankind. Something that was pleasing to the sight of mankind he who was evil appeared. And again we became prey and our disobedience again caused us to sway away from the LOVE of our beloved CREATOR.
What could have been so pleasing to mankind that again he would befall to temptation? Our desire to become one flesh was an act of the most pleasure of mankind. Our desire to share the love of one man to one woman made our eyes behold the curse of lust. So in our eyes an apparition of men and women in the act of sexual pleasures made us come down from our greatness and from this to this very day we still hold these sexual pleasures to remove us from our love and fruitfulness.
Cancer, Aids and other diseases can be contracted from birth and a child can be born with these tragic diseases but a homosexual cannot be born. It is very rare that agdistis or hemorphidite could be born to mankind. Then you would very distinctly observe the organs of both male and female. But in the case of the homosexual you can see that it is plainly mental. They possess either male or female organs but their minds are in confusion to lust for same sex sexual desires that are educated and accepted by them. This is a form of genocide and has to be changed in order for mankind to survive.
Our LOVE for each other is diminishing with each and every breath we breathe. We command the rights to our existence and for this reason we choose to eliminate those of us who are still unblemished or still possess a LOVE that we were born with. We are taught to carefully choose who we give this LOVE to. Many of us live wanting to give and receive this LOVE righteously but because we have been trained to cautiously give this love when it is given we can't recognize its authenticity. As a result somebody ends up hurting from it.
This lack of LOVE causes us to lash out towards each other. We are so trained to defend our honor of love that we will kill our brothers and sisters for lack of it. Without reason we will destroy the livelihood of those of us who are said to disregard the honor that the majority of us hold truthful too. Even when we see that next door we are being offended both righteously and honorably, we will go thousands of miles to defend an honor that has nothing to do with us.
Our minds are insight of revelation. We have been prophesized of the coming of a new world that will be without the wicked and evil deeds we live with today. Some of us don't have any belief of YAHWEH but will abide to the prophecies of the end of mankind. Our disbelief makes it easier for the evil and wicked to mold our minds into acceptance of their ways. Some can turn their heads and shake off the words of TRUTH that are being given to them because they are in accordance to the ways of their disbelief of the existence of mankind. They are totally involved in the acceptance that life is supposed to be lived in the manner it is for the reasons of our advancement into the greed of other men.
Maybe these words of TRUTH will have no meaning to you because in some sense you have found your way into the next life. Death is not the next life; it is just what it is. Eternal life is what is intended for mankind and in order for us to have it we must know that a savior was born a man, through Immaculate Conception and was sacrificed so that we can live after the evil and wicked have died. YESHUA is our way into the next life.
Believe or disbelieve your choice will be just as the children of Seth's was. Your choice will decide your destiny. As all the eyes look upon the devastations that come as we face our last days on an earth we chose to give to a fallen angel, we will find TRUTH whether we want it or not.
Remember that every day that we wake up is an opportunity. Not an opportunity to get a job, or an opportunity to clinch that house deal or even an opportunity to get rid of that addiction; it's an opportunity to get closer to YAHWEH. Every day we rise is our opportunity to LOVE our brothers and sisters as we want to be LOVED by our brothers and sisters. Every breath we take is a breath we must take to end the thoughts of wickedness and evil that is placed in our minds towards those who are just like us. Mankind suffers only because suffering is allowed by mankind. We are in control of the earth and it is our dominion as was said by YAWHEW who said that there shall be light on a void and darkened earth and there was light. We can do it! We can be a righteous people again.

kingdom to give Cavan real Croke park lesson
Cavan, who played in 11 All-Ireland finals between 1925 and 1952, made a rare championship appearance at Croke Park on Saturday and managed their first win there in a lifetime – but with a struggle.
London, the novelty team of this championship campaign, put it up to Cavan and at times even in the second half , the hot favourites were just about hanging on. This was their sixth championship game of the season, a number they did not reach even when they won their last All-Ireland back in 1952.
Possibly these young Cavan players were inclined to take victory for granted because London operate in Division 4, but without a doubt they will have no such illusions when they play Kerry in the quarter-final on Sunday.
So far this has been a very good year for the men of Breffni, with five victories, and the experience gained will surely prove invaluable for a team based on three successive Ulster U-21 title-winning sides.
Playing Kerry, of course, will represent the most daunting lesson to date for Terry Hyland and his troops.

When you encounter a snake, don't panic just yet, it just might be a harmless little caterpillar – or it could really be a snake. Either way, just run. In Costa Rica, there's a caterpillar that camouflages itself to look like a snake, with its tail appearing to be the head of the vicious reptile. It even hides its legs and expands its body to make the snake-like markings on its body more realistic.
In its larval state, it even acts like a snake, pretending to strike at predators to defend itself. Though venom and instant death are not part of the package.
Daniel Janzen, a biology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has been avidly tracking the caterpillar species since 1978 and has been an expert on the subject for 50 years. He photographed the caterpillars in the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste and says that they are part of the hemeroplanes species.
'To normal people this caterpillar might look weird and scary, but for me it's just a walk in the park. Every caterpillar in Costa Rica looks like something else – be it a leaf, twig or in this case, a slithering snake', he tells MailOnline. 'Over the years I've seen and photographed so many different types of bugs I'm never surprised, but they always interest me'.

"I was arrested - here, you see these marks?" Khalid presents his thin wrists to me and turns them over. Scars snake around them in white circles.
"My hands were tied with plastic ties. They were tied so tight. Other children were with me in the cell - they had the same ties. We would beg them to untie us, and they would only tie them tighter."
Khalid was held prisoner - in his old school.
"It is ironic, that they took me there to torture me, in the same place I used to go to school to learn. My father was actually the Principal there. They had taken over the school and made it into a torture centre. It wasn't a proper jail, I learnt later. It was a place they took you to first, before jail. To torture you. When I realised that was where we were going, I was so sad, I wanted to cry."
I pause the interview and ask gently if he wants to continue. He nods his head emphatically and continues before I can ask another question.
"I was terrified. There were 35 people taken in with me, and overall around 135 in the same room in the school as me. I remember one boy was only 12 years old. He was in prison for five days with me. His hands were bound behind him, just as mine were.
Khalid pauses and looks in my eyes. "What can he have done? He is a 12-year-old boy." I didn't have an answer. I don't know if anyone could answer that.
"After those first two days I was taken from the room to be interrogated. I had not eaten anything, had no water, and was extremely weak. I was hung up - from the ceiling with rope.
They hung me up by my wrists, by the plastic ties. My feet were above the floor. I was beaten."
Khalid continues and tells me that those who held him prisoner also took turns to stub out their cigarettes on him. He shows me the scars covering his arm and chest. We talk for ages after, about his hopes for the future, what he wants to do next. He makes some jokes about football, and we all laugh. But leaving that tent, I can't forget the image of this smart and funny 15-year-old boy begging to have his wrists untied.

Places Discussed
(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
*Navarre. Historical kingdom in northern Spain, along the French border. In this early play, William Shakespeare depicts a conception of an ideal commonwealth. Setting the play within the king's park underscores the struggle between man's natural will to enjoy and society's desire to restrict that will. The palace—which is never actually entered on stage—symbolizes the rules of the community to which the king and his gentlemen have chosen to retreat. The park itself is a representation of nature, not Rosalind's forest of Arden, but rather a landscaped sculpture of that world designed to unite the beauty of what is natural for people to savor with the practicality of proper behavior. The king and his men swear off revelry, feasting, and women, as though these were moral deficiencies. Setting the reconciliation between their passions and their social inhibitions in this park signifies the possibility of living a life that is full both spiritually and intellectually. This understanding is appropriately brought home to them by women, nature's consorts, and it is poetically fitting that the king and his men must take what they have learned and demonstrate it in the world for a year before they are permitted to return to the garden and reunite with their new lovers.

My sister's graduation cookout was this past Sunday and while we have loads of fun, its was also loads of work. Not exactly sure how I made it to work that Monday but I did. The cookout started at about 4pm and ended at 11pm. We have well over 100 people in my backyard.
The food table. I made lasagna, a salad dish, and tuna casserole. My mom made two rices dishes and my dada and uncle grilled all night. Click below to see the rest of the pictures.
My sis the grad, proud of her. She is so selfless she gives me a present on her graduation instead of the other way around because she claims I had been there for her through it all.
Our cousin, the DJ. He did an amazing job with the music.
I didn't get a full capture, but on this side of the backyard is a swing so all the kids were down there and these two decided to roll down the hill. They did it several times and it looked like loads of fun, sometimes I wish I were a kid again.
Linda, love this "chic" as she calls me. She is like a 3rd sister. She fits right into my family.
My sister and her bff waiting for guests in front of the house.
I look so tired. Wearing a maxi dress from Target.
The grad cake.

A new year is ahead of us and the expectations for what it might bring are always great. It most often turns out that things don't go quite according to plan. But luckily it frequently turns out that the plans change for the better. We already know a little about what you as a reader can expect however. We have a lot of exciting plans for the year 2016 here at the editorial office. One of the things we're working on at the moment is an exciting series of articles that follows the renovation of 'Tinghøjgaard', which we purchased in the fall. You can follow the restoration one room at a time to see how we renovate the old farmhouse and furnish it entirely in the French-Nordic country style. The first article of the series will be featured at the end of the summer. But until then you can follow the remodel of the 2nd floor of Jørgen and Lonnie's farmhouse, Lindely, starting in our next issue. Here you'll find plenty of tips for how to bring daylight into your rooms without adding skylights. We're also working on a new book about our 'Vintage Paint', which has particularly captured all of our hearts. The book will be released in the course of 2016. In this first issue of the magazine for 2016, you can read about some of the brand new trends within the style that we believe are coming in 2016. It's about decorating with even more vintage textiles and accessories in both brown and black as well as more colorful elements such as pink and blue. We think it adds an interesting perspective to the style which goes really well with either the light and feminine style or the more raw variety if that's what you prefer. Of course you'll still find plenty of inspiration for the more traditional variety of the style as well along with plenty of wonderful homes with each their own charm, DIY articles and, as always, lovely dishes that are easy to make. /Vivian
Happy New Year and happy reading!

X-ray scattering studies of the graphitization process of saccharose- and anthracene-based carbons are reported. The scattered intensities were recorded in the scattering vector range from 0.6 to 24 Angstrom (-1), yielding a radial distribution function of good quality. Analysis of the first three peaks of the radial distribution function allowed us to establish a hexagonal structure within a single layer. In the early stage of preparation, both carbons exhibit a disordered structure in which graphite layers are stacked without spatial correlation, i.e. the turbostatic structure. The inter-layer spacings were estimated to be in the range from 3.6 to 3.37 Angstrom. At higher temperatures the graphite-like layers exhibit an increasing ordering tendency within a single layer and in the c-axis. However, the degree of ordering is much higher for the anthracene-based carbons than the carbons prepared from saccharose, which remain disordered even at 2300 degreesC.

The Secret Service said a man is in custody after allegedly throwing an object over a fence at the White House.
"This individual has a done a similar act in the past and he is in custody," Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur said.
A bomb squad was called to the scene and deemed the package to be harmless.
The package was noted just after President George W. Bush left on his helicopter from the South Lawn -- on the other side of the White House -- for a trip to Wheeling, W.Va. Reporters, cameramen and photographers were told to remain inside the briefing room while officers investigated

'Peeing in his compost': Best newspaper lead ever?
The BEST lede ever in this @newsobserver story: http://t.co/QLDCRPK9 #journalism
— John Frank (@ByJohnFrank) November 12, 2012
Mark Schultz's News & Observer colleague John Frank calls this "the BEST lede ever," and others agree. "Totally restored my faith in the snarky wonder of journalism," tweeted Khadijah Britton. "LMAO!" wrote Curt Golden. Gawker founding editor Elizabeth Spiers and BuzzFeeds's Zeke Miller were among those who shared the "peeing in his compost" story with their followers.
Schultz tells Romenesko readers his piece appeared on the front page of Sunday's Chapel Hill News. ("It goes to 38,000 households in Orange and Chatham counties in North Carolina, including about 8,000 as a local news section in their News & Observer. I posted it Sunday afternoon to the N&O website as well.")
It didn't take long for readers to react.
"I would like to personally thank you for enriching my life," one wrote the reporter. "That was one of the most hilarious articles I have ever read in my life." Another told him: "Gotta give you an upvote on that opening sentence. Never saw that in the N&O before!"
Any trouble getting the lead into the paper? I asked.
"I checked with my publisher beforehand. She seemed hesitant at first but let me go with it."
The reporter adds: "I even emailed the guy [Roy Mars] back to make sure he was OK with using it. It's the way he had started the story to me on the phone. He said 'absolutely.'"
About urinating in the compost:
"I Googled it, and sure enough — apparently tons of people do it. It saves water (from not flushing) and improves the composting process. Who knew?"

Some Athletes Reject High-Tech Sports Fuel In Favor Of Real Food
Some athletes are choosing water and real food instead of sports drinks and processed bars and gels.
Published: July 16, 2012
by Alastair Bland
As the world's greatest athletes gear up for the 2012 Olympic Games in London this month, viewers like us are likely to see a spike in televised ads for sports drinks, nutritional bars, and energy gel — that goop that so many runners and cyclists suck from foil pouches.
Powerade, in fact, is the official sports drink of the 2012 Olympics, and if it's true what these kinds of ads imply, processed sports foods and neon-colored drinks are the stuff that gold medalists are made of.
But sports nutritionists and pro athletes don't all think so. David Katz, physician and nutrition expert at the Yale University School of Medicine, says sports drinks generally aren't much better than sodas. "[Sports drink companies'] marketing is based on the gimmick that somehow this extra load of sugar and calories will turn you into an athlete," he says.
Perhaps no brand has so loudly touted its product as an enhancement to physical prowess as Gatorade. One of its most effective sales pitches asserts that its sweet and colorful drinks can rehydrate a body more efficiently than water. Leslie Bonci, a dietary advisor to several Major League Baseball teams and a consultant for Gatorade, explains, saying that the body can absorb Gatorade more quickly than it can water alone. She adds that the sugar in Gatorade provides needed calories absent in water.
Some Athletes Reject High-Tech Sports Fuel In Favor Of Real Food
Some athletes are choosing water and real food instead of sports drinks and processed bars and gels.
"Gatorade is a source of fluid, it's a source of energy, and it's a source of electrolytes," she says. Electrolytes are minerals essential in helping the body retain water — and it's true: We can't live without them.
But the electrolytes in Powerade and Gatorade occur naturally in many other foods, like fruits, vegetables, grains, milk and coconut water.
Katz warns that the sugar content of sports drinks is far more likely to cause unwanted side effects than it is to propel you to the finish line of a race.
Like tooth rot, for example, or that stubborn layer of blubber that clings to our waistlines in spite of our most vigorous efforts to dispatch it. After all, makers of sports drinks, bars and gels encourage people to consume their products not just during exercise, but before and after, as well.
For example,the website for GU Energy — a popular brand you may know from discarded foil wrappers plastered to the asphalt — advises sucking down one of its 100-calorie gel packs before a workout, then again every 45 minutes during the workout. For your post-workout meal, there is GU Recovery Brew.
GU Energy did not respond to our inquiries about their products by press time, but sports nutritionists aren't so sure about the suggestion to slurp the gels.
"The sports nutrition industry just tells us to eat, eat, eat," says Stanford University nutrition coach Stacy Sims. "They don't care how big you are or whether you're a man or a woman or if you're trying to lose weight." (Full disclosure, Sims co-founded her own sports nutrition company called Osmo, which makes powdered sports drinks for hydration and recovery, and are purportedly easier on the body than syrupy energy gels.)
Walk onto any school field on weekends, and you'll see kids drinking sports and energy drinks, too, even though pediatricians advise good old fashioned water.
Mountain biking legend Gary Fisher says these "engineered nutrition" products keep many amateur athletes on the tubby side. "I see guys who really put in the miles, and they have a gut that never goes away," Fisher says.
Fisher says he prefers roast beef sandwiches, burritos, nuts, and bananas during bike rides, and afterward, he often eats a large helping of chicken or fish served beside a salad dressed with olive oil.
And Scott Jurek, the record-holding vegan ultra-marathoner featured in the 2009 bestseller Born to Run, enjoys smoothies prior to his 30-mile training runs, scarfs rice balls and hummus wraps en route, and afterward feasts on quinoa, tempe, brown rice, and beans — all vegan recipes included in his new book, Eat and Run.
Jurek says gels, which are easy to pack and carry, may be convenient if no real foods are available. His favorite gel product is by Clif, which also happens to be one of his sponsors.
But Sims at Stanford says unless you're flat out of gas with miles more to go, don't do goo.
"The fact is, every time you take a gel, you're doing the exact opposite of what you want to do," says Sims, who has worked with cycling stars Andy Schleck and Lance Armstrong. She says densely sugared foods dehydrate the body and cause overheating.
But that's supposedly where Gatorade comes in, rehydrating parched athletes and resupplying the body's depleted electrolytes.
How important is hydrating anyway? Can it be reduced to a specific formula? Timothy Noakes, a South African sports nutrition doctor, says dehydration is a simpler condition than sports drink companies have hyped it up to be. He says athletes can generally "listen" to their bodies and drink water when they feel thirsty.
