After reading about the RTL support in 4.2-beta release, I can't express how excited I was so I thought if I may put my two cents in, I would say something like this:
When it comes to RTL, exchanging right and left properties (like margin, padding and float etc.) is not always intended behavior (and I know this because I am struggling with bi-directional web applications for last 7+ years.) For example, a simple multi-lingual web page which has a top navigation bar and on left side a sidebar for sub navigation may still like to keep the page layout the same (i.e., sidebar on left side) except the text flow, list item flow etc. flipped according to the direction of the language chosen.
There is a new pattern emerging for such behaviors which I think should be anticipated in this early stage of RTL support in ExtJS. According to this new pattern, "Right" and "Left" should not change their meaning wrongly as a workaround for proper layout. Instead "Start" and "End" propertied should be used to properly declare the layout. This means "Start" is a synonym of "Left" in LTR languages while it is synonym of "Right" in RTL language context and similarly the "End" property. For backward compatibility, these start and end properties can be translated at a pre-compilation stage accordingly.
This behavior can be observed in;
- CSS reference of Mozilla at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...z-margin-start
- Android 4.2 Layout API at http://developer.android.com/about/v...d-4.2.html#RTL
Since this is only a concern for RTL developers (and RTL support is yet in beta phase), who can learn how to code their application properly to make it bi-directional hence introducing this pattern should not be an issue for mainstream ExtJS developers while providing more flexibility in layout. Also, if one feels that flipping the direction is almost always the case then as a shorthand there can be configurations in the RTL package to express if one wants right and left property flipping behavior or honoring the semantics of right, left, start and end properties.

Stay is correct unless in any case that the ' to ' is used as a preposition. Only then we use ' ing ' with the ' infinitive ' to form a gerund.
Student or Learner
So learn to lighten up:It's an important step to staying motivated-because remember, motivation is not permanent.
a step to+Ving. Is it another one that needs a gerund after 'to'?
Stay is correct unless in any case that the ' to ' is used as a preposition. Only then we use ' ing ' with the ' infinitive ' to form a gerund.
I think it's strange too, but it's a sentence from Reader Digest.
Hmm maybe what you read is
It's an important step staying motivated .... Right
So can we jump to conclusion that the sentence is wrong? :D
Not exactly wrong, Blacknomi, I would say it's clumsy.
Even if it's taken from a magazine like "The Reader's Digest", I often don't view this magazine as being a good representation of the English language.
If we rearrange whl626's sentence[l]xxx]/] thus :xxx "Staying motivated is an important step," then I see nothing grammatically wrong with it.

It's perr-fectly fine. Consider,Originally Posted by blacknomi
. . . step toWARDS staying motivated.
'staying motivated' is a gerundival phrase. Its headed by the gerund 'staying' which takes 'motivated' as its object. The entire phrase 'staying motivated' function as the object of the preposition 'to', which is short for towards. In other words, 'to' is not an infinitive marker. The sentence is fine.
Originally Posted by blacknomi

I like "It's an important step in staying motivated." as well.
If "to" is used after "step", then it's still better with the gerund.
I think I once read that some people try to avoid gerunds. There's some rule or idea about how they simply aren't necessary at times. I don't have any information on this "rule" or "idea". I would use a gerund in that sentence. Maybe someone knows something about this idea of "not using gerunds". I think I saw something about it posted in another forum. It would only be of minor interest to me. I know when gerunds are okay and when they're not.

Shares of DreamWorks Animation fell more than 7% Monday after analysts said the company could face a write-down after animated film "Turbo" had a disappointing opening weekend at the box office.
"Turbo," which features the voice of Ryan Reynolds as a snail with dreams of winning the Indy 500, had a sluggish debut, bringing in $21.5 million over its first weekend in release.
Piper Jaffray analyst James Marsh, who has a "neutral" rating on the stock, said the film's poor box office performance could result in a write-down of $30 million to $50 million.
If that happened, it would be the company's second write-down on a film this year, after taking an $87- million hit from "Rise of the Guardians" in February. "Weak box office performance like this will likely lead to chatter of a material writedown," wrote Marsh, in a note to clients.
The stock has dropped about 13% in the last five days, falling to $23.30 as of mid-day Monday. However, the shares are up more than 50% this year.
Doug Creutz, an analyst at Cowen & Co., said the film, which cost $135 million to make, is unlikely to make $100 million domestically or "turn a significant profit." He noted the film could perform better overseas.
"Turbo got off to a very soft start," he said in a note to clients. "We expect the stock to react negatively over the next couple of weeks as the impact of two non-profitable films in three releases settles in."
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
Still, he said, the Glendale-based DreamWorks may not take a write-down in its next quarterly earning report. "However, we think a writedown remains possible over the next few quarters depending on how things play out," he wrote.
Still, "Turbo" was well-received among viewers, earning an A from audiences on CinemaScore, and was reviewed generally positively, generating a 66% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It could make up ground abroad. DreamWorks Animation's last release, March's "The Croods," grossed 68% of its $582.3 million global tally overseas.

An Animal Update
No dogs reside in our home at the moment. Zoey the German Shepherd was hit by a car awhile back, and we haven't had the time to devote to training a puppy recently. We do still have animals though.....
Mabel is a Jersey milk cow. She is still young, but the plan is to breed her next year. She lives with the goats most of the time.
We have four dairy goats- one male named Bill, and three females- Wendy, Jessica, and Fern. The girls should be pregnant right now, so we might be trying our hand at milking sometime this spring.
Bill never got his horns properly removed, but they are kind of cute. Or something.......
Sometimes I can hear Mabel the cow sigh as she returns to the goat pen- these idiots again? I think she secretly enjoys the company though.
Chickens will be coming in spring. We had them at our old house, but had not gotten things set here until now.
Lastly we have sweet Outside Kitty. We don't know her story, but she was at this house when we got here and never left. She loves to eat moles, lizards, birds, and any household leftovers.

NARS Gaiety is Making Me Blush
Thank goodness the newest NARS blush has a name that I don't mind repeating. Gaiety is a vivid light blue toned pink that is completely matte.
Most of Gaiety's friends look almost peach in comparison.
Illamasqua Katie is much lighter in hue, Spank has a warmer tone, and Rose Tourbillon is deeper and warmer- more of a berry pink.
Gaiety gives a beautiful pink flush, brightening my winter complexion. I was able to use a regular blush brush and easily build color without creating scary clown cheeks.
NARS Gaiety will be a regular in my pink blush rotation this year!

Lancome's New Rouge in Love is Pretty Sweet!
I was out running errands on Friday- getting the baby's ears checked, dropping off taxes, and grocery shopping. Somehow my route took me near Macy's and inside to have a closer look at Lancôme's latest lipstick offering.
Rouge in Love promises 6 hour wear, feather light color, and a face like Emma Watson. Well, maybe not that last one, but she does make an awfully cute model for the brand.
I predictably chose a pink and a peach color to begin. Both have the word sweet in the title........how sweet.
The case is a matte silver with red and polished silver accents. It is small, sleek, and cute without being tacky.
The back is decorated in a lace pattern, oh la la!
The top color is Ever So Sweet, and the bottom is Sweet Embrace.
Sweet Embrace is a light mauve pink. Ever So Sweet is a fresh coral orange. The texture is definitely soft, but not overly glossy. They have enough shine to keep from being classified as matte, but they aren't like the new breed of shine lipsticks most brands are releasing. They have great pigment in one swipe, and they are weightless on the lips.
My closest comparisons weren't really that close, but maybe they can help you anyway. I am impressed with Rouge in Love and plan to try more shades. Flattering colors, soft texture without shimmer, and sweet packaging!
Speaking of sweet, check out the Gift with Purchase at Macy's right now. Spend $35 and you get a choice of lip products, moisturizer, and eye products. The bag also came in hot pink with a black ribbon, and my SA threw in the cute lip keychain I used in the above photos.

A Note From The Older Boys
Dear Readers of Planet Martha,
Please excuse our mother's recent absence from blogging, and from normal daily chores such as showering and having a brain. We have been sick lately, especially the little one. David appears cute, but he is really full of diseases. Anyway, he seems to be on the mend as of this week and might avoid ear tubes this winter! Okay, maybe we are being optimistic there.
Our mom hasn't been purchasing much makeup-y girl stuff lately. We wish she would stop buying all that makeup and invest in something more sound......like Legos! We think Planet Legos has a nice ring to it.
Love, The Boys

Take a look at what's new in February 2016
Flinders Ranges Highlights
Connect to the memory of the earth in South Australia's rugged, majestic Flinders Ranges and outback.
Rottnest Island
Rottnest Island, just a short ferry ride from Perth, feels a world away from city life. Rottnest Island was separated from the Western Australian mainland around 7,000 years ago when the sea level rose. The first records of human occupation of Rottnest Island date back more than 6,500 years, when the Nyungah Aboriginal people inhabited the area. Known to local Aboriginal people as Wadjemup, the island is of great spiritual significance to Aboriginal communities.
Monkey Mia
With blue skies and sunshine almost every day of the year, Monkey Mia, approximately 850 kilometres north of Perth, is ideal for a leisurely getaway or exciting outback adventure.
Pink Lake
Western Australia is home to a number of extraordinary 'pink lakes'. Lake Hillier is a pink-coloured lake on Middle Island, the largest of the islands that make up the Recherche Archipelago off the coast of Esperance.
Valley of the Giants
It's easy to be awe-struck by the towering forests around Walpole, a tranquil township around four and a half hours drive south from Perth. Giant red tingle trees, which grow as high as 40 metres, are unique to the Walpole wilderness areas. Get a bird's eye view of these sky-scraping trees the Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk, then see their massive, gnarled trunks on the Ancient Empires boardwalk below. Afterwards, you can cruise Walpole's peaceful rivers and inlets and discover the great walking tracks and pristine white beaches of Walpole-Nornalup National Park.
Cable Beach
Cable Beach, at Broome in Western Australia's Kimberley region, is a 22 kilometre-long stretch of pure white sand, set against a backdrop of red ochre cliffs and fringed by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Ride a camel along the beach at sunrise or sunset.
The Pinnacles
It's a true desert landscape in Nambung National Park, where the weathered rock spires of the Pinnacles rise out of yellow sand dunes. Yet the park sits on the deep blue Indian Ocean, along an idyllic stretch of coast three hour's drive north of Perth. After experiencing the eerie Pinnacles, stay in the fishing village of Cervantes, with its white beaches, coral reefs and Lake Thetis, a salt lake teeming with living fossils. Get up close to a rich array of wildlife in Badgingarra National Parks and discover Jurien Bay's national parks and idyllic sandy beaches.
D'Entrecasteaux National Park
The WACA
The WACA, nestled in the suburb of East Perth, has been the home of cricket in Western Australia since the early 1890s. WACA are the initials of its owners and operators, the Western Australian Cricket Association. Throughout its history, the ground has also been used for a range of other sports, including athletics carnivals, Australian Rules Football, baseball, soccer, Rugby League, Rugby Union and International Rules Football as well as major rock concerts.
Perth's City Precincts
Beyond its tranquil river and spacious beaches, Perth has lively city precincts humming with great shopping, nightlife and dining. Soak up business chic in Perth's city centre, browse boutiques along Leederville's stylish Oxford Street and catch live music in Mount Lawley. Discover hip bars and trendy eateries in Northbridge or visit the theatre along the leafy streets of Subiaco. Clustered around the northern banks of the Swan River, these urban pockets are places to meet the locals and experience its vibrant culture.
Stirling Range National Park
Rare Western Australian nature is on show in Stirling Range National Park, home to the craggy, 65km-long Stirling Range, and an astonishing array of seasonal wildflowers, many of which grow only here. This bushwalking and biodiversity hotspot lies just over an hour's drive north-east of Albany, and is a destination on the South West, Beaches and Goldfields Drive from Perth.
Immerse yourself in fine food and fascinating history in Fremantle. Food is always a festive affair in the historic port of Fremantle. This is a city where you can eat in heritage-listed streets buzzing with buskers or on winding alleys lined with art. Your next meal is as close as the music floating out of a colonial pub or the breeze blowing from the harbour.
Cape Range National Park
Around 1100 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia's Cape Range National Park is a landscape of rugged limestone ridges, deep rocky canyons, pristine beaches and one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The nearest town is Exmouth, gateway to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. Cape Range National Park's traditional custodians are the Baiyunga and Jinigudira people.
Karijini National Park
Be humbled by nature in Karijini National Park, in Western Australia's Pilbara, where the earth has been cleaved and carved over two billion years. Discover the spectacular chasms, marbled rock tunnels, cool rock pools and sparkling waterfalls. Beneath the bright blue Pilbara skies, the craggy red landscape shelters abundant native vegetation, animals and birds. Camp here beneath the vast outback sky or enjoy back-to-nature luxury in an eco-retreat.
Margaret River: Wine, Waves and Caves
Get your postcard pens ready. You'll want to tell everyone about your trip to the Margaret River region. Fringed by tall forests and crashing surf, this is a place where great wine, fine food and breathtaking scenery meld into one.
Margaret River
With many world-class wineries and award-winning restaurants, Margaret River is one of Western Australia's most famous food and wine regions. Tour the cellar doors and taste local brews at the boutique breweries. Here you can eat fresh crayfish straight from the ocean or dine on the local organic beef and truffles. Visit the farmer's markets and try the artisan cheeses. Indulge in local handmade chocolates and delicious fudge. When you've finished your culinary journey, take time to explore Western Australia's Great South West. In a few hours you can go from wineries to stunning beaches with world-class surf breaks, snorkelling and diving or walk amongst ancient forests and caves.

March 17, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Freshman pitcher Jessica Iacobucci threw seven shutout innings to help the MIT softball team to a season-opening win over Simmons College, 1-0, on Tuesday afternoon at Briggs Field. Making her collegiate debut, Iacobucci allowed just three hits while striking out 11. Her sixth-inning single would also result in the game's only run. The Engineers won their season opener for the fourth time in five years; they defeated the Sharks on opening day last year, 11-10.
The game was a pitcher's duel early on, as the teams combined for just five hits through the first four innings. Simmons (2-9) threatened a few times but was unable to capitalize, leaving a runner on third on two separate occasions. Stephanie Murray singled, stole second and advanced on a passed ball in the third. But Iacobucci struck out Annie Thompson and got Emily Nalband to fly to center to end the inning.
The Cardinal and Grey loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning on singles by Jessica Oleinik and Keri Dixon and an error but was unable to plate any of the baserunners.
After leading off the sixth with a base-hit to right, Iacobucci was lifted for pinch runner Maia Bageant. A sacrifice bunt by Aubrey Tatarowicz moved Bageant into scoring position where she was driven home by Bensey Schnip's game-winning single up the middle.
Iacobucci would strike out two more Sharks in the seventh to seal the win.
Courteney Collier struck out six, allowing just the one run on seven hits, to earn the loss.
The Engineers will now depart for a spring break trip, competing in the Gene Cusic Classic from March 22-27 in Fort Myers, Fla. MIT will compete against Potsdam State, Oberlin College and Colby College in the tournament.

Arlington Downs buildout plans for the site of the former Sheraton hotel
Arlington Downs, the $250 million redevelopment of the site of the former Sheraton hotel at Euclid Avenue and Rohlwing Road in Arlington Heights, received its final major approval from the Arlington Heights village board last week.
The developers plan to put luxury rental apartments in the old hotel, with occupancy starting in about a year.
The second phase will be two new, smaller hotels, one for families who might use the rejuvenated Coco Key water park and the other for businesspeople.
Retail close to the Euclid and Rohlwing corner will probably come next, depending on demand from businesses. Demand will also govern the building of two more luxury apartment towers.
A group led by the Argent Group purchased the site near Arlington Park racetrack about a year ago. The hotel closed late in 2009.
The village staff estimates the development, when complete, could give the village $1 million annually in sales-type taxes and provide property taxes totaling $4.2 million annually for various governments. The village lost $570,000 in annual taxes when the Sheraton closed.
Developers plan to have the entire project built in five years. They will deal with village staff now on construction details and will only return to the board to make changes to their plans.

The deal represent's Bally's first entry into Portland. This is the second time an acquisition has taken Gold's Gyms from the city.
PORTLAND, Ore.-When 24 Hour Fitness bought the seven Portland Gold's Gyms in 1997, Nautilus Plus-a respected Portland player-kept the Gold's name in town by converting its facilities to the Gold's Gym brand. Now, however, Nautilus has sold its 13 clubs to Bally Total Fitness, leaving Portland without a Gold's Gym.
The Portland deal is reminiscent of Bally's 1999 acquisition of the George Brown fitness centers in Fresno and the 1998 acquisition of the Pinnacle Fitness and Gorilla Sports club chains in San Francisco/Oakland. In all of these acquisitions, Bally established a prominent position immediately by buying a large group of clubs.
Bally officials see the Portland acquisition as a major step in its continued growth. "The Portland market is the 23rd largest market in terms of metropolitan areas," explained Dave Southern, Bally's vice president of public relations and investor relations, "and it's the largest market in which we didn't have a presence."
Naturally, Gold's Gym officials were less enthusiastic. Kirk Galiani, CEO and president of Gold's Gym International (GGI), put it bluntly: "We were not happy about it."
In fact, Gold's Gym litigated over the transaction. According to Galiani, the Gold's Gym franchise agreements grant a five-year territory; operators who want to transfer the territory before that five years expires must receive approval from GGI. Since GGI wouldn't have approved of Bally as a transferee, a settlement needed to be reached.
"We received a significant sum to allow the transaction to go forward," Galiani said. He added that someone has already contacted GGI about bringing the Gold's brand back to Portland.
Despite the litigation, Galiani pointed out that he bore no hard feelings toward Nautilus. As part of the team that took over Gold's in 1999, he believes that Nautilus and Bally were in discussions before the new Gold's regime entered the picture. "Jack's not a bad person," Galiani said, referring to Jack Garrison, Nautilus' president. "It was just a bad situation for everybody. If we had bought Gold's Gym International earlier, there may have been a chance to bring him on board with us."
Likewise, Garrison had kind things to say about Galiani and the rest of the GGI team. "They are some great people," he offered. "The timing, good or bad, was the best thing for our company and staff. There is nothing wrong with Gold's."
In its settlement with Gold's Gym, Nautilus paid off what was left in licensing fees, Garrison claimed. He added that due diligence with Bally took a year and the acquisition itself was a stock transaction that benefited Nautilus employees, who, thanks to the launch of an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) in 1996, owned 40 percent of the stock in Nautilus Plus.
Since employees had an ownership stake in Nautilus, they took part in the transaction decision and received Bally stock through the acquisition. Garrison-who plans to enjoy retirement with his wife, with whom he ran Nautilus-sees this as a plus for Bally and his staff.
"That continues the motivation to continue doing good things," he noted.
And Bally expects good things. Bill Fanelli, Bally's senior vice president of operations, said the Portland acquisition has given Bally great clubs in a great market. He pointed out that the Nautilus employees have brought close relationships with the community, the managers have brought new ideas, and the clubs themselves have brought great services, particularly Excel Training, a popular trademarked program for personal trainers and group instructors.
"We are already implementing some of their programs throughout Bally Total Fitness," Fanelli said.
Garrison said that Bally's willingness to implement outside programs, such as Excel, demonstrate the open-mindedness that Lee Hillman and Bally's other top brass have instilled throughout the company. "If they see something that is better, they'll go with it," Garrison noted. "They are not locked into anything. It's impressive that they are eager to learn."
Gold's Gym Awards Exclusive Territorial Rights
LEXINGTON, Ky.-Although Gold's Gym may now be absent in Portland, Ore. (see Bally Total Fitness Buys 13 Gold's Gyms, above), Gold's has come on strong in the South and Midwest. Specifically, Gold's Gym Franchising, a division of Gold's Gym International, has awarded Global Fitness Holdings exclusive development rights in Kentucky, Tennessee and Greater Cincinnati.
Royce Pulliam, Global's chairman, is already converting his seven World Gyms to Gold's Gyms in the three-state region. He plans to operate 10 Gold's Gyms by the end of 2000, and 16 within the next four years. His expansion will bring Gold's to Nashville, Memphis, Cincinnati and Lexington (home of Global's headquarters).
Kirk Galiani, CEO and president of GGI, said Global's management, reputation and financing make it an excellent addition to Gold's. Pulliam said that the unique development deal was one of the reasons he chose to work with Gold's. He favors opening large 40,000-square-foot facilities-the kind that cost $1.5 million to build. These larger clubs take time to open. Since he has exclusive rights in his territory, he doesn't need to worry about a smaller operator throwing up a 12,000-square-foot Gold's Gym facility five miles away to compete with him.
Pulliam claimed that his philosophy of "the bigger, the better" is something he shares with the GGI team. He added that they also share a commitment to member satisfaction, with an emphasis on customer service, clean facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and the freshest programs. "We want people to enjoy where they are long term," Pulliam said. "We want to keep members around. We don't want them for a year, then have them go somewhere else."
Not only is Pulliam pleased with the current state of affairs at GGI, he is also impressed with the aggressive plans Gold's Gym has for the future. He pointed out that the GGI executives want to take their company public in the next 36 months. "I want to be part of that," Pulliam said.

CRESTVIEW � Just as the regional military presence sheltered north Okaloosa County�s real estate market during the recent recession, it also helped keep unemployment below the national average.
CRESTVIEW � Just as the regional military presence sheltered north Okaloosa County�s real estate market during the recent recession, it also helped keep unemployment below the national average.
In February, the last month with available data, Okaloosa County had a 5.5 percent unemployment rate. That was down a half-percent from January, and nearly a percent and a half from February 2012's 6.9 percent.
The county surpassed the February 7.5 percent statewide unemployment rate and the national 8.1 percent, Linda Sumblin, Workforce Development Board�s executive director, said.
"We're optimistic," she said. "We have the luxury of having one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state at this time."
Only Monroe County, with 4.2 percent unemployment for February, had a lower rate, according to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
Sequestration still a threat
A potential impediment to continued growth is sequestration, Sumblin said. However, the Department of Defense has lowered the number of possible furlough days for civilian employees, she said.
A senior department official speaking on background said more than 700,000 officials next month will receive notices of their 14 unpaid leave days expected in mid-to-late June, according to the American Forces Press Service.
While sequestration won't apply to active-duty military members, it will cover civilian workers, including those employed in defense contractors' companies.
"We're working with the defense contractors about how that's going to effect us," Sumblin said. "Right now, we haven't heard much from them, which we're ecstatic about."
Sequestration "certainly will have a ripple effect" on the area economy, as civilian workers will decease their discretionary spending, potentially affecting other businesses, Sumblin said.
Hospitality season gears up
Though much of the hospitality industry focuses on the county�s south end, Crestview receives a boost due to its position as a gateway to tourist destinations, with visitor traffic passing through town on Interstate 10 and State Road 85.
"This time of year, with the hospitality season, there's more hiring going on," Sumblin said. "We're seeing a great increase from the positive tourist season last year."
Crestview area hotels saw a marked increase in bookings as snowbirds and spring breakers discovered north county hotels were a better bargain � and more likely to have last-minute rooms available � than properties farther south.
Proximity to Fort Walton Beach and other nearby bodies of water helps.
"People can stay in Crestview and still participate in a beach vacation," Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce incoming President Dennis Mitchell said.
Mopping up the oil spill impact
"We're anticipating an even better season this year as we recover from the unwelcome BP oil spill event," Sumblin said.
Though Crestview is 30 miles from the closest beach, the threat of oil from the April 2010 BP spill had local impact, she and Mitchell said.
"The advantage is clear," Mitchell said. "We get all those folks coming through, and they go to all three counties (Okaloosa, Walton and Santa Rosa). We see them a lot. We depend on those beaches a great deal.
"All you need to do is look at just the threat of the BP oil coming near here and business dropped noticeably."
Rick Plante, Possum Ridge BBQ�s pit master, said trade at his north State Road 85 location slowed to a trickle during the summer of 2010.
"I call it the ricochet effect," Mitchell said. "We didn't get the beach impact as hard as they did down south, but it certainly did affect us, which proves that a healthy beach and a healthy beach economy (are) important to us here."
New tricks for old dogs
The local economy�s recovery means less long-term unemployment in the area than elsewhere in the state, Sumblin said.
To combat what long-term unemployment there was, JobsPlus and the Workforce Development Board embarked on a retraining program. Programs included on-the-job training to prepare existing and new workers for new positions at area companies including BAE Systems and L3 Crestview Aerospace.
New workers went through a crash course of intensive training in a mobile vocational school brought to Crestview through a grant. The vigorous curriculum mirrored work conditions, with students required to meet strict attendance and academic progress criteria.
Toward the multi-week training�s end, students were integrated into the employers' businesses, spending some of the workday side-by-side with experienced employees.
Construction looking up
Skill saws� whines and hammers� thuds again echo over local neighborhoods as subdivisions rise in Crestview and Baker. They herald the local construction industry�s revival.
"They are seeing a real incline of new building in our community," Sumblin said. "That was one sector that was really downsized during the difficult time."
"We used to be an association with almost 700 members, and we're down to 300 right now," said Alan Baggett, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association for Okaloosa and Walton Counties. "It's taken a toll."
Some former members turned to other professions, while others downsized their businesses, often assuming the jobs of manager and laborer, Baggett said.
"A lot of your builders are doing dual roles: they're the ones swinging the hammer," he said.
However, the local economy�s uptick has brightened the building industry�s outlook. Crestview real estate agent Dino Sinopoli said planned developments that lay dormant during the recession have sprung to life.
(See related article on local real estate on page C1.)
"In the last several months, I've talked to several members who say, 'I've gotten too busy. I'm working seven days a week and I have to start hiring somebody,'" Baggett said. "That's an encouraging thing that we're hearing."
An announcement that construction of what could be as many as 1,000 or more housing units at Hurlburt Field has been welcome news for area contractors, Baggett said.
"That is going to be an opportunity for people to find some work," he said.
A good outlook
Sumblin said her agency has been working with the county Economic Development Council to provide workforce information for potential employers considering moving to or expanding in Okaloosa County.
Workforce Development is also working with educators as a liaison with local fast-growing, high-wage industries, including health care, information technology and communications, and manufacturing.
"We're looking at schools' training growth to guide them as to what kind of curriculum they can provide, not just post-secondary but the K-through-12 schools, too," Sumblin said.
"We work very closely with the CHOICE program," she said, referring to the Okaloosa County School District middle and high school industry-guided vocational training program.
"We see things turning around," Sumblin said.
Local business leaders agree.
"We in the chamber of commerce are expecting things here to start bucking the trend," Mitchell said. "We're expecting things here will be better than the rest of nation."

Vehicles damaged
Kenny Purdy of Madison received a call while he was working at Moberly Correctional Center to let him know there was a problem with his building in Madison. The roof of Kenny's building, located across from the Madison Area Community Center on (the south east corner), had collapsed under the weight of the continuing snow. Kenny owned and ran an automotive business in that location for about 19 years. In 2010 he closed his fulltime business, but has continued to work on vehicles there on South Main for family and friends. Including the race car, four vehicles were housed inside.

GENEVA – Approaching two years removed from his last start in the majors, Cubs right-hander Scott Baker understands his journey back from Tommy John surgery will require he shake off a lot of rust.
A return to the Cubs' rotation in August seems ambitious considering his second consecutive rough rehab start at Single-A Kane County. On Friday, Baker lasted only 2 2/3 innings after giving up six runs on six hits. Four of those runs came in the first inning when Great Lakes batted around. Most concerning was Baker's lack of command. He walked the first batter to start each of his three innings. Of Baker's 60 pitches, 36 were for strikes. Falling behind in the count was the norm for Baker, who did not figure in the decision for the Cougars.
"Obviously, you'd like to see better results, no doubt about it," Baker said. "But I think that's a byproduct of having good mechanics and being able to execute pitches. Right now that's just not the case. I'm feeling for it a little bit mechanically."
It is understandable Baker hasn't been sharp in his two rehab starts (allowing 10 total runs) as his last big league appearance came Sept. 24, 2011, while with the Twins. Baker said his next bullpen session will be important in determining where he's at in the rehab process.
"To sit here and dwell over this outing or read into it too much, it's really not going to do myself any good," Baker said. " … I've just got to get right mechanically. When that happens, everything comes out better, not just the fastball."
Asked if August can still be considered a reasonable timetable, Baker said, "I hope so," but added that the decision is up to the Cubs.
"I had no adverse effects," Baker said of his elbow. "It's really becoming an afterthought. At this point I think it's just focusing on mechanics and executing pitches."
The Cubs gave Baker a one-year, $5.5 million deal in the offseason with contract escalators centered on his innings pitched. They want Baker in the rotation before the season ends, especially if they lose Matt Garza to a trade before the July 31 deadline. While Baker, who doesn't know where he will make his next rehab start, won't be ready by July 31, he can provide late-season consistency in the rotation and help the Cubs avoid shuttling starting pitchers back and forth from Triple-A Iowa.
"It just feels like everything is a bunch of different pieces right now," Baker said. "That'll come. Sometimes it's like a light switch. You have to find it, get back to the basics sometimes and find the keys."

This is a truly one of kind capture with airbrush on leather!!! What a beautiful and majestic piece of art work, J W ! I just love eagles, and you have given this one the honor it so much deserves! Congrats on your sale as it surely is well worthy! Thanks for sharing this beauty with the art world!
Thank you Randy for those very kind compliments regarding this work - it is much appreciated!!
I love your artwork! Please take a look at my artwork... Thanks :)
Thank you - your photography is very appealing!
With every turn I take , with every piece i see, your creations touch my soul! and so i vote for thee!
Thank you Nancy for those very kind and obviously hear-felt words - it is very inspiring and much appreciated by this Artist! : )
Thank you Xueling - this year I am very much into "doorways" and "passages" to other places, so your drawing was very appealing and inspiring!
Great! I always admire your portraits, you are gifted and are able to express the true art on canvases! Many thanks for your wonderful feedback on my small drawing "Untitled 2"!!!
This is the most beautiful painting of an eagle I've ever seen. FANTASTIC, JW!!
Thank you Maris - That particular Eagle was actually painted on leather!! (hence the name)
Thank you Chad for the kind words regarding this work - I thought it turned out rather well being painted on leather.
This is one beautiful piece of work. The eye looks so real. Beautiful work.
Rosemary - Thank you for the kind words regarding this piece!
You did a great job on this eagle. I love eagles.
Emery - you are welcome and thank YOU for your kind words regarding my art - it is very much appreciated. If you are used to Acrylics and just want more versatility, I suggest trying the new Golden OPEN Acrylics. I have found the water-soluble oils to be an easy 'bridge' from Acrylics to Oils and they have the added attraction of only needing water as your solvent...
It looks as though he is faceing a strong wind, great show of movement in this piece JW -- but like all your work, it is outstanding! . ........Joe
Bridgitte - the clarity of most of my imagery is the result of direct scans of the original artwork at high resolution - oddly, in the case of this Eagle, this was actually photographed with a digital camera as it was painted on a piece of leather...
I was wondering how you get the pitcures on so clear unlike my eagle if you check it out it looks very blurry due to taking a photo with a regular camera. I specialize in eagle portraits but i have never done one this well.
such beautiful detail! Stunning work!
Ray - thanks for the kind words - Eagle was my brother's Spirit Guide (and he was also a Shaman and a Navajo apprenticed Silversmith)
I want to thank you for your comment and likewise Ilike all your art,, but Eagles are my thing it represents my last name-and my oldest son was a Shamin---Timothy wispering Eagle, is all over the internet of his work. thanks Ray Aguilar
Thank you!
Fantastic work, the eye looks real!!
Beautifully done..

This knowledge affords me the privilege of a truly unbiased form of self-expression unfettered by the confines of the structured approaches to which so many adhere, and are alas bound by whereas I am free to express myself by whatever medium appropriate to inspiration which is by its very nature boundless...

I think the IDPWebBrowserSSOValve sees if the call has come directly to the IDP without SP interaction and deduces it to be SAML11 interaction.

Thanks Anil.
As for the attribute provider, I looked into the code for SAML11 Provider and it has // TODO for providing attributes. I just create a subclass of the provider and override the issueToken, it looks like it is working.
Thanks again.

So far my time at Jamboree has been perfect. I got my timeslot for the Ancestry scanning when I wanted it. WhooRahhhhh. Then I got to the Library and back again with lunch in there. Then the scanning was completed quite easily with not too much of a delay. Gene was able to take the pictures back to our temporary quarters and now I'm sitting in the mini class for Google Earth.
I have connected to the WiFi, got the photos ready and now I'm good to go.
More later.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Mario Gotze scored in the second period of extra time Sunday to lift Germany to its fourth World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina at the Maracana.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Mario Gotze scored in the second period of extra time Sunday to lift Germany to its fourth World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina at the Maracana.
It was a titanic clash between two football giants for 90 regulation minutes as the sides traded quality scoring opportunities in the third-ever meeting between the nations at the World Cup final.
The tension in the stadium was palpable as the match went to extra time, and it was Gotze, the Bayern Munch man, who came on a substitute for Miroslav Klose and fired home the winning tally in the 113th minute, making Germany the first European nation to ever win the World Cup in South America.
The victory is Germany's first major international trophy since winning the 1996 European Championship, and first World Cup title since 1990 when it defeated Argentina at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Argentina have been led all tournament by Lionel Messi, who has scored four goals during the competition, but the Barcelona man was unable to come up with a necessary bit of magic late on as he had one final opportunity to find an equalizer in stoppage time with a free kick from about 30 yards, but the strike sailed well over the bar.
The referee blew the final whistle moments later, handing Germany the title and denying Argentina its first World Cup triumph since 1986.
"It's unbelievable what we have achieved," Germany captain Philipp Lahm said. "We improved throughout the tournament and didn't get down when things didn't always go our way.
"We just stuck to our path and at the end we're standing here as world champions. It's an unbelievable feeling. The team stayed calm and patient, we knew that we had something left at the end."
Germany dominated possession in the opening minutes as Argentina was content to sit back, absorb pressure and try to hit on the counter-attack, which did produce several nervy moments for the German defense.
Argentina's best scoring opportunity of the first half came in the 21st minute with some good fortune as Toni Kroos mistakenly headed the ball right into the path of Gonzalo Higuian, but the Napoli man pulled his attempt badly wide of the left post.
Germany responded with a half-chance in the 28th minute when Klose made a good run in behind the Argentine defense, but the service from Bastian Schweinsteiger was swallowed up by goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Argentina celebrated what looked like the opening tally in the 30th minute when Higuain fired home a Messi cross from the right flank, but Higuian was clearly in an offside position.
The Germans answered with a couple chances from distance that didn't trouble Romero, but their best opportunity of the opening 45 minutes came in stoppage time when Kroos lofted a corner kick into the area where defender Benedikt Howedes sent a free header on goal, but it thundered off the right post and fell to Thomas Muller, who was in an offside position as the halftime whistle blew.
The match slowed down considerably in the second half, but Argentina had a golden chance to break the deadlock in the 47th minute through Messi, who ran in behind the German defense, but bent his strike just wide of the far post.
Klose, the all-time leader in World Cup goals with 16, answered with a chance on the hour mark as he found space in the box between Argentine defenders Pablo Zabaleta and Martin Demichelis to get a header on goal, but it didn't cause Romero any problems.
The Germans continued to search for the winner as Mesut Ozil got down the right flank in the 81st minute and sent it to Kroos at the top of the box, but Kroos skewed the attempt wide as the contest headed to extra time.
Andre Schurrle smashed one on frame with pace just minutes into extra time which forced Romero to parry it away.
Argentina had a golden chance to find a goal in the 97th minute as substitute Rodrigo Palacio got in behind the defense and attempted to chip the ball over the head of Neuer, but it went wide.
The breakthrough finally occurred seven minutes from time with some spectacular attacking play from Schurrle and Gotze.
Schurrle did well to get free down the left wing and he sent a well-struck, driven cross into the area for Gotze, who deftly controlled with his chest and smashed it past Romero into the side netting with a thunderous volley.
The goal put Argentina on the back foot for the first time in the tournament, but they pressed forward looking for a late winner, hoping Messi could possibly produce some magic.
He got his opportunity deep in stoppage time after winning a free kick following a foul by Schweinsteiger, but it sailed well over Neuer's net.
The chance to send it to penalty kicks was gone as Argentina finished as runners-up despite conceding just four goals over the course of the competition.
"These are very close matches and when you make a mistake, you know it's difficult to turn it around. But in general terms, I'm very proud and my boys played an extraordinary World Cup," Argentina head coach Alejandro Sabella said. "It was very exciting to see them play and it's clear they gave everything for the Argentinian jersey. They can look themselves in the mirror and know they gave everything. I congratulate my players for their extraordinary work and also congratulate Germany on winning the title."

CHIPLEY � After a week off, the Chipley Tigers came back ready to run � and the Northview Chiefs were not able to keep up.
CHIPLEY � After a week off, the Chipley Tigers came back ready to run � and the Northview Chiefs were not able to keep up.
The lopsided 47-18 final score was mostly the result of second half action, and was almost like watching a different game except for the Chiefs� troubles with high snaps, which plagued them for all four quarters.
The first half was a back-and-forth scramble between the two teams, with bad snaps vexing Northview, while Chipley was struggling with turnovers.
The Tigers� Kobe McCrary scrambled 48 yards to score on Chipley�s second play of the game and Carlon Smith�s kick gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead at the 8:15 mark in the first quarter. Three bad snaps kept the Chiefs marching backwards and unable to gain any turf in the opening stanza.
Chipley�s McCrary scored again from 4 yards out with 11:13 to play in the half, completing a 50-yard, 7-play drive that started in the final minute of the first quarter. The extra point try was no good, but the Tigers led 13-0.
With 10 minutes to play, a bobbled punt return by the Tigers turned into pay dirt for the Chiefs, who took possession of the ball at the Tigers� 40-yard line and marched it in on 10 plays, finally scoring when Neino Robinson scramble into the endzone from behind the 4-yard line. The extra point attempt fell short and the Chiefs were in the game 13-6.
With 5:02 left to play in the half, Brannon Freeman, who was wide open, nabbed a short pass and scampered 42 yards to score, closing the gap to 13-12 and capitalizing in two plays upon an off-side kick that the Chiefs were able to nab and which put them at the Chipley 46.
Two minutes later, a Tigers fumble inside their own 25 gave the Chiefs an opportunity to score again, this time Daulton Tullis connected to Robinson with a 24-yard pass, giving the Northview squad a short-lived 18-13 lead.
On the next play, Chipley�s Darren Steward returned the Northview kick 73 yards to score, and McCrary added a PAT to put Chipley back in the lead 21-18 going into the half.
McCrary came back in the third quarter and added six more points on a 7-yard run then Zack Campbell and McCrary combined to rush for 85 yards in two plays, with Campbell carrying the ball 62-yards to score following a 23-yard run by McCrary. Stewart added the PAT and the Tigers were ahead 35-18.
Chipley scored again on a 73-yard, eight-play effort, capped by Tyrone Sharpe�s 11-yard run with 7:47 left to play.
The bad snap gremlin struck once again, and a kick return fumbled by the Chiefs was recovered by the Tigers at the Northview 35-yard line. Five plays later, Stewart ran it up the middle from the 10 to score for Chipley.
Chipley travels to Walton Friday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Banana Brulee Oats
As a Memphian, I'm obliged to love the King's fave food combo — peanut butter and banana. Lucky for me, that love comes quite naturally. Especially when that peanut butter is White Chocolate Wonderful and the banana is caramelized. I also added some maple syrup to my steel cut oats for extra sweetness.
For the banana trick, simply microwave a broken-up banana with a tablespoon or so of water for about two minutes. It gets all melty and creamy. Plop it atop your oats and dress as desired.

I made this with muesli today. Also delish! Thanks for another way to enjoy bananas!
Bananas are probably one of the greatest fruits ever. They can be cooked whether they're green, yellow or brown.

In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2016. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets.

Shoot, I posted that info at 7:02 this morning. TomVH is a slacker.
He got soft. It's the 9-5 with 2-hour 3-martini lunches. He's lost his edge.
Is it safe to assume he's a Michigan lean then because of his brother?
His other brother is at Penn State, so I wouldn't assume that...
although his maternal grandfather and uncle played for Michigan. And his paternal grandfather pitched for the Dodgers. (Link)
That is one athletic family.
But we're way better than Penn State, so that doesn't matter.
Honestly, if you want to play in the Big Ten, and you have M or OSU as an option, you need to take it. Everyone else is going to get steamrolled for the foreseeable future.
He grew up in Michigan during earlyish childhood--not sure what age he was when they moved to TN. Just adding to the convo...
So I'm not sure I would assume that yet. It doesn't hurt. Nice to see he already has some big offers like Tennessee, Vandy, and Kentucky.
His dad played football at Brother Rice and Notre Dame, and his mom swam at MSU. Family has a lot of state of Michigan connections.
I don't have insider information or anything but it really depends on the family and the situation. Look at OSU for 2013. Fans were certain they were going to get Mike Heuerman and Jaylon Smith this year because both of their older brothers are on the team and yet both of them are going to Notre Dame. Sometimes you just want to blaze your own path in life, other times if you're really close it sounds like a great opportunity.
See him starting his own legacy....He's choosing between Clemson and Michigan. $100.
Really? I haven't seen anything tangible that would say that VT is not his leader.
Most of what I have heard says that Fuller's top two are VT and Clemson. Michigan is in third right now.
I'd like to see Kendal fuller make his own path to Michigan. But I won't hold my breath with him.
added a Michigan offer yesterday as well... I'd edit this post buy I really think he's SEC-bound already.
Fournette reported having a Michigan offer in this article that was posted on June 22, or at least that's the first I saw of it.
So why didn't you post a new thread about it on June 22nd? C'mon man.
As often as I reload my recruiting bookmarks, I'm surprised to have missed it.
A little off-topic however what is this Roll Damn Tide thing that everyone keeps talking about? I would love an explaination of what happened, something do with him getting banned and then coming back as Wolverineinabag? Help....
Really appreciate it, it was a serious question. Do you want me to start a new topic on the MGoBoard for this?

Insidious: Chapter 2
Even if you succumbed to the dog-eared scares of 'The Conjuring', you'll struggle to find magic in this calamitous sequel to director James Wan's earlier, sillier haunted house movie, 'Insidious'. Picking up exactly where the original left off, 'Chapter 2' simply moves Josh (Patrick Wilson), Renai (Rose Byrne) and their kids to Josh's mother's house, where the ghostly apparitions, spooky baby monitor sounds, deafening noises and laughable nonsense start all over again. Josh has returned from demonic parallel realm The Further, but has he inadvertently brought something evil back with him? Frankly, who gives a toss? Wan's cattle-prod shocks will have you jumping – but his box of tricks is running low. Prattling ghost hunters Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Simpson) are mildly less infuriating than last time, but the male medium who uses lettered dice to contact the spirits has inherited their idiot mantle. For all but the most forgiving horror fans, this is a lazy, stupid and incoherent failure.

This reviewer is a complete idiot. He should be fired from this job and sent back to pre-school.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Prince Charles Cinema (voted London's best cinema for good reason), was holding a surprise FREE double bill screening of Insidious and an advanced screening of Insidious: Chapter 2 (not expected to be released until September 13 in the UK). The cinema, safely hidden between China Town and Leicester Square, had announced on Facebook just two days earlier that they had free tickets to give away from the eOne Film Studio. The tickets were offered on a strict first-come-first-serve basis to the first 100 customers who lined up for the 18:15 showing on Wednesday 28. The folks at Prince Charles Cinema were also kind enough to add the extra incentive of free drinks and popcorn to whoever attended the showings. Sounds like a great idea initially, but it hurt the overall experience for some. As someone already pointed out on Twitter. There were free popcorn packets on every seat, which you could hear every viewer taking advantage of throughout both film showings. In addition to the usual crisp packets and fizzy drinks being opened. I also just happened to be sitting behind perhaps the most drunk viewer in the screenings, who also just happened to laugh the loudest at all the wrong moments, giving the rest of the audience the confidence to laugh along to both films for the next 3 to 4 hours. He was essentially the 'class clown' of the group, encouraging everyone to laugh along with him. This was my first experience of the 'Insidious' films, by director James Wan of the 'Saw' franchise, which I greatly enjoyed. Honestly, I'm glad the films were screened for free though, as I couldn't connect with the films as much as I hoped I would. I would like to say it was largely due to the sounds of the audience taking me out of the film, but the films themselves were not very engaging. 'Insidious' (2010), starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, is a Haunted House Horror film which focuses on a son of the starring couple falling into a 3 month coma, which they find is caused by supernatural, nefarious influence. A common tool horror movies usually employ is using the sounds, and lack thereof, to 'scare' the audience and make them jump, but it wasn't used very effectively this time around either. However, I did like that the films took the 'haunted house' sub-genre a step further than other films, like 'Paranormal Activity' franchise, actually delving into the spirit world and having us follow our pov characters there too. Although, I felt the film did suffer from a low budget. The spirit world, called 'The Further' in the films, wasn't visually appealing at all. Perhaps sensing that the fear aspect of the films was lacking, there was no shortage of genuinely comedic characters and scenes implemented into the main storyline. For the most part, in the form of comedy duo Tucker and Specs (portrayed by Angus Sampson and James Wan veteran, Leigh Whannel). The duo were legitimately good in their roles, injecting much needed comedy into scenes which would otherwise be uncomfortably or awkwardly un-horrific or fearful, as well as greatly amping up the action, tension or desperation of the situation at the very least. Honestly, I'm not sure if Insidious warranted a sequel in the first place, and considering how Chapter 2 ended, I'm sure there will be a third instalment in the near future too. I wouldn't personally recommend the film, but It would be an enjoyable watch, especially if you had legal and appropriate access to alcohol like we were offered.

Specialty Liability Coverage
American companies face billions of dollars in tort costs each year, but small businesses bear a majority of the costs resulting from lawsuits.1 Accidents can happen no matter how well a business is run. The expenses involved in defending a lawsuit can prove to be devastating, whether or not the organization is found to be at fault.
Fortunately, there are various forms of liability insurance that may help offset unforeseen costs (up to the policy limits) that could consume your business's profits or ruin its longer-term prospects.
The liability coverage offered with a business owners policy helps protect against risks associated with property damage, bodily injury, and personal and advertising injury. However, different kinds of coverage may be warranted for businesses exposed to special risks that may not be included in a standard policy.
As your business grows, you could encounter new risks, and you may want to expand coverage based on the size of your staff and/or the value of equipment and other assets. The appropriate liability coverage could help defray some of the legal costs that might otherwise stifle your business or harm your personal financial situation.
