Eleven days — that's all it took for a group of east Mississippi cotton growers to go from talking stage to a signed, sealed, and financed deal to build a spanking new $6.5 million state of the art cotton gin in Noxubee County.
Even more amazing, rather than having the facility completed for the 2013 crop, as they'd expected, they've been promised by equipment suppliers and contractors that it will be up and running in September to gin this year's cotton crop.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for Bogue Chitto Gin, located on the site of an old hog farrowing facility a few miles outside Brooksville, Miss., were recently held and construction is now going full speed for the plant that will feature two of the world's largest gin stands, the Cherokee Magnum 244.
In the late 1800s, Noxubee County was the leading cotton producing county in Mississippi. Although the bulk of the state's production later centered in the Delta areas along the Mississippi River, growers here in the Prairie region continue to be some of the state's most progressive, with consistently high per acre production.
Last year, some of the state's highest cotton yields were in this area.
Although growers here don't have the advantage of shallow wells for irrigation like Delta producers, many operate center pivot systems from catchment ponds and reservoirs, and new systems continue to dot the landscape.
Increased cotton acreage in the region is an outgrowth of the experience of area growers that, with water, the mostly heavy black prairie soils will consistently produce high-yielding cotton, while soybean yields on the same ground can vary widely from year to year.
With the uptrend in acreage came a perceived need by growers for a gin that would be closer to their fields and would offer more efficient processing of their cotton.
Stockholders in the gin represent a cross section of some of the best farmers around.
Valley Gin, once located in this area, shut down in 1982, says Jack Huerkamp, who is president of the new gin organization.
"The last year that gin operated, they were running four bales per hour. This new gin will be capable of ginning 60 bales per hour. It will rival 90 percent of the gins in the entire country, and is being built not only to handle present-day production, but with capacity to handle expected expansion of acreage.
"We're going to have 20,000 acres of cotton this year within a 15-mile radius of this gin; that's up from 5,000 acres just a couple of years ago. And we expect the availability of nearby ginning facilities will spur additional cotton plantings in the future.
"In addition to all the other benefits of ginning here, there will be significant amounts of money saved in hauling costs."
Noxubee County officials who participated in the groundbreaking said the new gin will be a benefit to the county, not only with jobs, but by the turnover of money that cotton generates throughout the economy. "It's a proven fact that cotton money turns over several times," one of the officials said.
Growers bullish on cotton
Glenn Mast and his son, Rodney, are shareholders in the new gin; they farm 5,000 acres and have an equipment dealership in Lowndes County, Miss., near Columbus.
They've had soybeans in their crop lineup for years — but have dropped them altogether this year in favor of cotton. They've also exited their long-time catfish business and will use the 120 acres of ponds as reservoirs to feed center pivots.
"Some of us farmers had met the Tuesday before the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show to discuss the potential for building a gin for the 2013 season," Glenn says.
"At the show, I talked with the Cherokee representatives about our interest and they told us they thought they could have a facility up and running for this year's crop. Since we'd figured the best we could expect was fall 2013, we were excited about that.
"We came back from the show, had a meeting with our growers, who put $100,000 on the table as earnest money to order equipment. A week later, we had a stockholder agreement in place, had bylaws filed with the Secretary of State, and $1.6 million in grower commitments in order to secure financing for the balance. The Federal Land Bank did a fantastic job in helping us with financing the project.
"From the original grower meeting to a done deal took 11 days," Glenn says. "We've been assured that the gin will be up and running by Sept. 16, and we have financial incentives built into the contract to encourage the suppliers and contractors to meet that target.
"We're really bullish on cotton, and this facility is an indication of other growers' belief in the future of the crop here."
Rodney Mast says no new cotton gins have been built in this region in many years.
"Area farmers have been hauling cotton 50 miles to 100 miles to have it ginned. This new gin will not only save on transportation costs, but will give us a better product and put more money back in cotton farmers' pockets. There has been 30 percent more cotton seed sold for planting in this area this year than last year, and with this new gin, I think we can expect that acreage will grow even more.
Jerry Scarborough, one of the owners of Cherokee Fabrication LLC at Salem, Ala., which will supply the gin equipment, says, "In my 50 years in the business, I've never seen a deal go together the way this one has. About as quick as I could get it out of my mouth that they'd need $100,000 earnest money, they had it.
"I went back to the office and told everyone I'd sold a new gin. 'Who's it for?' they asked. 'I don't know," I said. 'What's the gin name?" they asked. 'I don't know,' I said, 'but I've got five signed checks here and they're ready to move.' For something like this to come together in less than a two-week time span is unprecedented.
"The interest these growers have shown, and their willingness to work together to make the project happen, has been amazing," Scarborough says.
"We seldom build new gins from the ground up — one a year, if we're lucky. Most of our work is modifying or upgrading existing facilities, or doing repairs. Our most recent installation of our latest equipment was for the Kiech-Shauver-Miller Gin at Monette, Ark. We're also in the process of building a new gin in Brazil on a 60,000-acre operation to replace an old one that's only ginning 4 to 5 bales per hour."
Changes in ginning technology have been impressive over the years, Scarborough says.
"A modern gin like this one will be can gin more cotton faster, more efficiently, and with better quality than earlier-generation machinery. This facility will have the largest gin stands in the industry — two 244 Magnums, each with 244 saws and each capable of ginning 30 bales per hour. The entire operation will have the latest digital controls and technology to constantly monitor all functions."
It's being designed to handle round modules from modern pickers with on-board module builders, he notes. Several growers associated with the gin have already purchased round bale pickers and others are planning to do so.
"The gin press can handle about 70 bales per hour, and there will be a 142-inch lint cleaner," Scarborough says. "The facility will also include an 85,000 ton seed house, one of the biggest in Mississippi.
"When I started in the business in 1960," he says, "there were 4,500 gins operating in the U.S. Now, there are only about 650, but the volume of cotton they gin is far more than that of all those earlier era gins combined."

Using "Insulayment" as a Spacer
Author: Cameron
Date: 8/26/2008 0:52 am EDT
We're putting 3/4" hardwood in our cottage and want to use Avaire tile in the entries and bathroom. As we're hoping to put in floor heat (QuietWarmth) in the bathroom we came up with the bright idea of using the non-heated spare unuderlayment (the Insulayament product) as a spacer to bring the Avaire tile to the same height as the 3/4" hardwood floor. Surfing the various websites I get a 9/16" overall thickness for the Avaire tile, 0.11" for the Insulayment - for a total of 0.6725 or 1.25/16ths less than the 3/4" hardwood. Ideal for a T-strip. So my question is, is this idea Ok? After all, you use Insulayment under the non-heated portions of the bathroom floor, why not use it under the other areas? Would it result in too much compression/movement in the higher traffic entry areas? Side note, the entry areas to be tiled are only pads of about 6'x6' with hardwood surrounding them on 3 sides.

Has Davenport Lyons' Copyright Shakedown Business Gone Under A New Name?
from the hunting-and-pecking dept
As the firm was exposed, it led some customers to back away, realizing the harm it was doing to its own brand. The firm hadn't made much noise on this front lately, but the folks over at TorrentFreak heard about a bunch of very similar letters going out recently and, after investigating them, noticed way too many similarities to Davenport Lyons -- including an identical customer list and the fact that a Word doc on this new firm's (ACS Law) site was created in a copy of Word registered to... Davenport Lyons.
Apparently, rather than reforming, they just decided that it would be better to try to appear as someone different and start pulling the same trick all over again.

Subscribe To Steven Spielberg Hits Pause On Robopocalypse Updates
I've already subscribed
For the last few month Steven Spielberg has been developing an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse as his follow-up to the critically-heralded Lincoln, but apparently things have been moving just a little bit too fast for the Oscar-winning filmmaker. New reports have surfaced saying that Spielberg has decided to slow down the march towards production.
Deadline is reporting the breaking news saying that the acclaimed filmmaker hasn't abandoned the project and is still planning to helm the feature, but is taking a step away from it so that it's not rushed. The project, which is working from a script written by Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard, was originally going to go before cameras this spring, but will now be pushed back until a later date. As you can probably guess, this means that the film probably won't hit its target release date, which is currently scheduled for April 25, 2014.
But while he may not be ready to take on a sci-fi epic about the battle between machine and man, the delay could open the doors for another project: Gods and Kings. Spielberg has been attached to the project, which tells the biblical story of Moses, since January 20012 and could very well be an alternative choice for the director this year. As of now, though, nothing is set in stone and what he plans on doing next is a mystery.
What the article doesn't mention is how the decision will effect the cast of Robopocalypse. Both Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway signed on for the project last year, but they are also two of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood at the moment and could very well be busy whenever the director does decide to pick up the project again. Then again, when you have the chance to work with someone like Spielberg I have to imagine that you move mountains to make it happen.

Everton boss David Moyes has no plans to make any major signings in January
Everton boss David Moyes is not planning to make any major signings during the January transfer window.
Last Updated: 28/12/12 9:58pm
Moyes was busy in the corresponding period last year following the sale of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to Spartak Moscow when he drafted in Nikica Jelavic, Darron Gibson and Steven Pienaar.
But the Toffees manager is adamant that he does not like to do business in January, and expects to hold on to his best players this time around.
Moyes said: "Last year we sold Bilyaletdinov for £5.5m back to Russia and that gave us the opportunity to go and buy.
"We brought in Steven Pienaar on loan from Spurs, we bought Jelavic from Rangers for £5m and Darron Gibson from Man Utd for £500,000.
"We spent the money we got in - that is the way we have tended to work. My intention is not to sell anyone this January.
"Because of that what I'll be hoping to do is pick up a couple of loan players or maybe a 'Bosman' if there is anything out there, although at this time of year you rarely get anything of the right quality.
"Normally buying at this time doesn't work, albeit it did for us last year."

Mariano Buglioni (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
Traveling to Italy is all about making discoveries. This includes new wines, new ristoranti and trattorie and of course, meeting producers I have never encountered. During my most recent trip to Valpolicella, I met Mariano Buglioni, the owner of the eponymous estate in San Pietro in Cariano, located in Valpolicella Classico; rarely have I met such a generous man.
Buglioni, formerly in the textile industry, produced his first wines from the 2001 vintage. He currently crafts several types of wine, from the famous - Amarone and Valpolicella - to the unique - such as a sparkling Molinara and a 100% Garganega IGT. He has also made a name for himself with his eateries, especially with his osteria located on Corso Porta Borsoni in the heart of the old section of Verona. Mariano took me there early on a Sunday evening in November and we could barely move, finally finding a spot at the end of the bar. Mariano told me that I should see the place during the week, as I wouldn't be able to find a place at all. Given how little room was available that evening, I'd hate to see the place even more crowded!
Mariano also took me to see another osteria of his, this one in the town of Santa Maria de Negrar. This one is larger and thankfully, less crowded, but just as engaging. There is a beautiful bar and display of all the foods, which are all marvelous. One of my favorites is the tartina con paté di olive nere con pancetta (a small paté made of black olives served with pancetta); there are several other lovely comfort foods as well. You can take a look at these at the website link here.
Mariano wanted to show me these places, but first and foremost, he wanted to show off his wines with a special dinner, so we went to his locanda, located in the countryside of Valpolicella just a short walk from his agriturismo in Cariano. This is a warm dining room with rich earth tones with food specialy created for the Buglioni wines. I enjoyed five wines with various courses and each wine was extremely well made with excellent balance and ideal structure. The finest wines for me were the 2007 Valpolicella Ripasso "Il Bugardo" and the 2006 Amarone. The former offers ripe black plum and raspberry aromas with very good depth of fruit and peristence and will drink well for 5-7 years; I gave this wine an excellent rating. The Amarone, from the first-rate 2006 vintage has beautiful black cherry and myrtle aromas is is quite simply, mouthfilling! This is a powerful wine (17% alcohol), but nicely balanced with proper acidity along with excellent persistence. I would expect this outstanding wine to be at its best in 12-15 years. Incidentally, the Amarone was served with a veal medallion- a simple pairing that brought out the best in the wine and the food.
All in all, I had a great evening in the company of my new friend Mariano Buglioni. We spent five hours together; this after he drove that morning from Bern, Switzerland, a seven-hour journey! How he found the energy to do this in one day amazed me, but like many Italians, he is a gracious person who saw an opportunity and was more than happy to spend some time with me. Thank you Mariano for your hospitality and for your beautiful wines. A big thank you also to my friend in Chicago, Aldo Zaninotto, who represents these wines in America.

The Gypsy Gentleman Episode 5: London.
Marcus Kuhn presents the fifth edition of a brand new tattoo and travel magazine.
Featuring interviews with Valerie Vargas and Ian Flower.
Valerie Vargas
I tattoo at Frith street tattoo, London, UK. I had my apprenticeship under Dave Crossley in Stirling, Scotland. I wasn't tattooing long before I was given the chance to join the Frith street team and have been there for the last 5 years with Dante and the crew.
Even though I was lucky enough to study Art at college I still consider my artistic abilities as self-taught. The college part helped me more with organising myself and my work and seeing projects through to the end however!
I feel like in the last year I finally began to leave behind the type of work people thought I was known for and concentrating on the type of work I actually wanted to do. I'm doing more traditional tattoo subjects and playing around with traditionally executed work whilst adding some extra fun for myself, whether it's adding more colours than I think I should be using or adding details so as to bring new life to older flash designs. Colour pieces dominate my work but I'd love to do more black & grey cholo style tattoos, I'm pretty spoiled with work though so I can't complain!
Valerie Vargas is featured in TAM #31 and can be found at Frith St. Tattoo in London.
Ian Flower
I began tattooing in 1991 and progressed to opening my shop new Skool tattoos in 1997 in Ewell village ,Surrey .I am still there at present and attempting to find a way out !
Over the years ,I have worked at Into You tattoo and Frith street in London ,whilst still maintaining my own shop.I specialise in large scale ,traditionalist Japanese designs .I also do a bit of old school traditional work when the opportunity presents itself.
Ian Flower can be found at New Skool Tattoos in London.
I am very proud of what we have achieved on just a belief in something real, and how we used our determination and our time and our voice to affect human change. Please go to www.gypsygentleman.com and support us.

Leaping from precipitous heights, vaulting handrails and running both up and along walls in the urban environment isn't the safest method of getting around.
But for practitioners of parkour – a quickly rising action sport fueled by YouTube videos of highly accomplished athletes performing what sometimes appear to be superhero-esque feats – the cool factor outweighs safety concerns.
That's where gym owners Justin Taylor and Steve Nguyen, founders of Orange County's first gym dedicated to parkour training, step in.
"The first thing we teach is safety. Learn how to be safe, learn how to keep yourself safe, because that's the most important part," said Nguyen.
They emphasize proper training and safety practices can help lessen safety threats. The cofounders of Firestorm Freerunning & Acrobatics – which opened in June – believe that proper training is necessary to prevent sport-related injuries. Such training, they say, can also prevent injury in the most dire of circumstances.
Taylor, who has practiced gymnastics since he was 6, and whose athletic fixation morphed through the years into a passion for parkour, was driving his motorcycle to a college class several years back when a car turned in front him.
Going 45 miles per hour, Taylor couldn't stop. His motorcycle slammed into the car. The bike's back end lifted from the pavement, catapulting him through the air.
Instinctively, his repetitive training kicked in and without a single intentional thought he pulled into a shoulder roll, also called a judo roll or safety roll. When he hit the pavement, he fractured his shoulder, collar bone and sternum and compressed a disk in his neck.
Serious injuries, but they could have been worse: The doctors said if not for the shoulder roll, he would have been a quadriplegic at best.
That life-saving shoulder roll is the sort of move parkour can teach you, Taylor said. Taylor and Nguyen emphasize safe training practices in their courses and discourage athletes from attempting a feat they're not physically and mentally ready for.
But that's not why parkour is rapidly growing in popularity. That's not why teens who watch videos of the sport on the Internet try it on their own.
Running up walls, performing front flips and leaping between buildings just looks cool.
And, as Taylor and Nguyen are quick to point out, parkour is basically the adult version of childhood play. Kids spend their early lives doing parkour: running up slides, clambering across monkey bars, leaping from rock to rock to cross a stream. But a lawsuit-happy culture limits the number of places kids can have unstructured play, Taylor said.
"There's no place for children to go to run, climb, basic activities, and you see more and more people everyday with health problems, basic health problems, obesity," Taylor said. "Everything is 'Don't climb on that, don't swing on that, don't learn your balance or agility.'"
When anyone from young kids to retirement age-adults visits Firestorm Freerunning and Acrobatics, they're doing it to have fun, he added. Their faces aren't scrunched in pain like those bench pressing weights or slogging miles on the treadmill.
And, they can take their skills to the streets, though Taylor warns that athletes should stay off private property and if told to stop by law enforcement or other authorities they should do so. Taylor hadn't heard of any arrests or local incidents involving run-ins with the authorities, other than a Huntington Beach lifeguard once expressing concerns that there might be liability issues if an athlete got injured.
Firestorm Freerunning joins four other gyms in California – two in Los Angeles County, one in Sacramento, and one in Rohnert Park, north of San Francisco – that teach parkour. It's a member of the World Freerunning and Parkour Federation, which seeks to provide a unifying voice for the sport through competitions and media.
Like other action sports that have budded before it, parkour will have to decide how it wants to grow going forward. Will purists keep it free from organized competition? Will those who wish to test their abilities against others find an outlet for their competitive desires?
David Thompson, president of the federation, wants to represent both types. If freerunning and parkour athletes want to compete, he wants there to be an organized system for doing so. The major freerunning contest right now is Red Bull's Art of Motion competition, which takes place in Greece this September.
"America loves a competition, that's the nature. And we had a lot of criticism in the community from people who said 'Don't compete.' Our job as a federation is to include everybody," Thompson said. "Any action sport, any extreme sport, there's been flak when it's gone competitive, whether it's surfing or skateboarding."
The federation was a lifesaver for Firestorm. Besides jumping through myriad licensing hoops with the city of Santa Ana – which had never seen this sort of gym before – Taylor needed insurance. The only quote he got was $21,000 a year for a custom plan. That wasn't going to work.
The federation offered an acceptable insurance program: each gym member pays a fee to the federation for insurance, much like how gymnasts sign up for insurance through USA Gymnastics, or swimmers through USA Swimming.
And, as one parkour athlete notes, parkour is one of the few sports that's truly available to anyone.
"It's a very accessible sport. Whether people are competing, you're going to have a following because it's one of the few free sports," said Greg Leone, a longtime parkour athlete. "There's people who train barefoot."
But how does parkour move from YouTube to the living room, from dark street corners to a legitimate spotlight? No one really knows, but Thompson, with the federation, has high aspirations. He notes that the Olympics have just dropped about 10 sports. Maybe there's room for one more.

Fourteen Year old girl kills new-born
I saw this on facebook, and I was a little taken back, but my first thought was "This child needs help, mental institution or something" A lot of people are condemning her to hell or saying she should be killed or whatever else have you.
What do you reckon?
Either link has information
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal!
Burn her! Burn her with acid! Nah, just kidding, send her to a mental institution.
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha
Why would you do something like that ):
Never Forget, I miss you all and love you all so much. Thank you
And America is de-funding abortions? Tch...
Who knows what went through her head, I believe she does need some sort of help. At her age she might not have understood fully what she was doing and why. I don't find her reaction all that surprising. This will most likely haunt her later in life, if not already when she understands what she did.
Escaping your parents bad reaction by taking a life is a major bad call. Just look it only made it worse, she made the damn media.
Juvie. Definitely.
http://www.youtube.com/user/thefortknighthood <-Follow us!
Why would she get pregnant in the first place?
Crazy psycho
Holy....fandango, its been ages.
There can be as many answers as one can think of... So pick the one you like better.
http://www.youtube.com/user/thefortknighthood <-Follow us!
There's most likely something seriously wrong with her, but also at 14 you really shouldn't be having a baby either. It's just one big sad mess
Wtf... she's fudging crazy...
What's one thousand minus seven?
Not the first or last time for this type of incident.
In her case, fear and lies caused her to think less of it as a baby and more of a problem. Lies continued, months passed, she probably kept on the same path. With each lie and fear, and accusations from her aunts, she gradually stop considering it as a life in any meaningful way and just wanted it out of her life.
She obviously will need help, for multiple reasons, but we should, as a nation, realize the pressure we put on children and how it's capable of influencing their behavior and processing.
When a child is more afraid of what her parents will say or do because of her pregnancy, than the actual murder of a human being, you can only imagine the parents impressing the wrong priorities on the girl.
Still say juvie is the only option for her. She can receive treatment during her sentence.
Mental-institution/solitary confinement.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
I am so incredibly sick and tired about how the whole world is constantly watching everything America does when they are not even from the States.
Seriously...If any other country was in the spotlight like America was, they'd get a ton of hate as well.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Hmmm, somehow, I don't think she's that crazy at all.
Sure, getting a kid at 14 is not such a great idea, she knew this as well, and therefore acted accordingly.
There's always a chance of getting pregnant if you start having unprotected sex at such a young age. Perhaps she thought it wouldn't be such a big deal to for once. Of course, I don't know what she really thought or whatever.
She's 14, she didn't have the guts to tell anyone about her pregnancy, she didn't dare get an abortion for some reason (I don't know what laws say about abortion where she lives), and felt this would solve everything. She thought a newborn shouldn't be considered a complete human being yet, or something like that.
I'm not saying she did the CORRECT thing, I'm merely saying she's not crazy.
Does anyone know if she was raped or not??? Could factor in, and yeah, mentally ill, because NOBODY in their RIGHT mind, kills a baby, don't care what kind of psychologist/psychiatrist says otherwise....:(
doing something
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I am so incredibly sick and tired about how the whole world is constantly watching everything America does when they are not even from the States.
Seriously...If any other country was in the spotlight like America was, they'd get a ton of hate as well.
Wait who said anything about hate? I really like America and visited once. There's no need to take that personal.
Frankly, come on. The de-funding of abortions is incredibly stupid. By saying that I don't mean to diss on America as a whole, there's just some things I find ridiculous. I'm sure people could say tons of bad things about my country as well, heck there's things about my own country I find really off.
America plays a huge role in interactions between countries, it's only natural they will get a lot of spotlight as you put it. It's like famous people, others for sure will always have an opinion about them and the things they do, it doesn't equal hate towards them.

The roughness and harshness of raucous may be reflected in this eggcornish respelling:
The CD that put the band on the map, it's a roots rock diamond in the rough and a rawcuss portent of things to come.
... we have something simular when England play home rugby internationals at Twickenham (although not as rawcuss I guess!). ...
So they get hold of Hillary and back her(money wise for the presidential candidacy) so that she can create a rawcuss so that people can …
Gosh it is not that personal believe me.. did you see them attempting to cause raw cuss and I know how that can get sometimes. ...
Blastfamy and raw cusses make a good pair this week. Here's an interesting nonce in the raw cuss guild, not least because of the dyspepsia.
Energy Drink Man will be here soon for all the latest news in energy products, he will hold reviews on some of your favorite products, as well as new and up coming products that may create a rotguts in this fast changing market.
"Rawcuss" complements the "rockous" and "roarcous" versions
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
I should have added this to the earlier 'rockous' thread which I entirely forgot about, despite having posted there myself. I'm surprised none of us came up with this variant then, but perhaps there were no examples around at that time as they were still lurking in the vinegar.
This week a fellow I know added a new variation to the "rockuss," "roarcuss," and" rawcuss" we noted in this thread. He referred to the "rawkish" noise of the local ravens. It fits: one of the sounds made a raven is something like "RAAAWK."
"Rawk" is also a slang term for rock music ("rawk on, dude"), so we might expect to find "rockish" replacing "raucous." It's hard to find good examples on the web, though, because "rockish" is a sublexical term meaning "sounding like rock music." Hard to know when people are substituting it for "raucous."
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
But for once I didn't really feel like causing a wreckus, so I went in right though the main entrance.
Young lady, please do watch your speeding in here this is all new to us and we wouldn't want a wreckus. The head mistress said.
They always cause a wreckus around here…they will not be hard to find.
Love it.

we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .

Current Law Students / Re: Supreme Court Rules Junevile Death Penalty Unconstitutional« on: February 27, 2012, 01:36:10 PM »
[...] They are often convinced that the celebrity is sending them cryptic messages intended only for them to understand. Erotomanic delusions last an average of 10 years.
I can just imagine what hell the chased person must have gone through during those 10 years!
Horrible indeed! The core of the syndrome is that the affected person has a delusional belief that another person, usually of higher social status, is secretly in love with them. The sufferer may also believe that the subject of their delusion secretly communicates their love by subtle methods such as body posture, arrangement of household objects and other seemingly innocuous acts (or, if the person is a public figure, through clues in the media). The object of the delusion usually has little or no contact with the delusional person, who often believes that the object initiated the fictional relationship. Erotomanic delusions are typically found as the primary symptom of delusional disorder, or in the context of schizophrenia.
Occasionally the subject of the delusion may not actually exist, although more commonly, the subjects are media figures such as popular singers, actors and politicians. Erotomania has been cited as one cause for stalking or harassment campaigns. The assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley, Jr. was reported to have been driven by an erotomanic delusion that the death of the president would cause actress Jodie Foster to publicly declare her love for Hinckley. Late night comedian David Letterman and retired astronaut Story Musgrave were the targets of delusional Margaret Mary Ray. Other reported celebrity targets of erotomania include Madonna, Steven Spielberg, Zachary Quinto, Britney Spears, Barbara Mandrell, and Linda Ronstadt.
There's a not-very-accurate belief that the delusional disorder (paranoia) is almost always linked with homosexuality. That's not really the case. Take a look at this post:
[...] The paranoid preoccupation with homosexuality has sometimes been explained as reflecting "unconscious homosexual impulses." This locution is misleading, in that it is not usually genital urges that stimulate homophobia; it is loneliness and the wish for a soulmate. Because as children we were comfortable with peers of the same sex before we became comfortable with opposite-sex peers, and because people of the same sex are more like us than people of the opposite sex, when we are withdrawn from everyone, we are attracted to someone of the same sex. Unfortunately, the patient becomes aware of this attraction, misinterprets it as homosexuality, and this sets off the defenses. In other words, at the core of the self-experience of paranoid people is a profound emotional isolation and need for a "consensual validation" from a "chum."

FULLERTON, CA. - Orange continues to be the new green for Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers, thanks to a new three-year sponsorship renewal between Yokohama Tire Corporation and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The agreement retains Yokohama's eco-friendly, orange oil-infused ADVAN® ENV-R2™ race slicks as the official tire of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama through the 2015 season.
The announcement was made today in Sebring, Florida, at the season opener for the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama series. All Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars in the popular 15-race series will be competing on the revolutionary racing slick that combines orange oil and natural rubber to improve performance characteristics in the tire while using renewable materials. Yokohama's ENV-R2 is the first - and only - environmentally-friendly tire used in a racing series.
"The IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama is an excellent platform to showcase our product, especially when it comes to green racing," said Andrew Briggs, Yokohama's director of product planning and motorsports. "IMSA, like Yokohama, has been a champion of eco-friendly initiatives for years and have embraced creative ways to bring that consciousness to motorsports. We've been a partner with GT3 Cup Challenge for four consecutive seasons, and couldn't be happier with this renewal."
"IMSA has recognized Yokohama as an innovative company for many years, and they have a rich history in sports car racing in the United States," said Scot Elkins, COO of IMSA and the American Le Mans Series. "They have fully embraced our initiative to be the global leader in green racing and the ENV-R2 race slick is a testament to Yokohama's commitment to that mission."
"The ENV-R2, which we will also campaign in the GTC Class of the American Le Mans Series in 2012, has been a tremendous success," said Briggs. "It has surpassed all driver expectations from a performance standpoint."

Ronald W. Walters
Scholar, author and political analyst
Ronald W. Walters, 72, a longtime political analyst and scholar at Howard University and the University of Maryland who was a leading expert on race and politics, died Sept. 10 at a hospital in Bethesda, Md. He had been suffering from lung cancer.
Walters spent 25 years at
before becoming director of the African American Leadership Institute at the University of Maryland. He wrote numerous books and more than 100 articles.
In 1984, Walters served as a deputy campaign manager for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. He consulted on Jackson's second presidential campaign in 1988 and advised members of Congress over the years.
Walters was born July 20, 1938, in Wichita, Kan., and was an early participant in the civil rights movement. He was a member of a local NAACP youth group in 1958 when he helped lead a sit-in at a drugstore counter, two years before a famous protest at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C.
"There was a student network across the country," Walters told the Kansas City Star in 1991. "In Greensboro they'd heard what happened in Wichita, and I'm sure it inspired them."
He earned a bachelor's degree in history and government in 1963 from Fisk University in Nashville, a master's in 1966 in African studies and a doctorate in 1971 in international relations from American University in Washington.
Kathleen Fetzer
Matriarch of California family winery
Kathleen Fetzer, 88, the matriarch of one of California's most successful family wineries, died Sept. 15 at a private care home in Ukiah, a family spokesman said. The cause of death was not given.
Fetzer and her husband, Bernard, founded
in 1968 and produced 2,500 cases of red table wine in the first year. It quickly gained a reputation for quality and became a leader in the organic farming movement. By 1992, when it was sold to the Brown-Forman liquor conglomerate, it was turning out more than 2 million cases a year.
Born in Luverne, Minn., on Nov. 2, 1921, Fetzer moved to the Bay Area during World War II. After marrying Bernard Fetzer, a merchant marine from Southern California, in 1945, she moved with him to Oregon, where they built a lumber business. In 1958 they purchased a run-down, 700-acre ranch in Mendocino County and, with their six children, began growing wine grapes and selling them to amateur winemakers. The family grew to 11 children, all of whom played a role in establishing and expanding the wine business.
After Bernard Fetzer died in 1981, Kathleen and her children ran the winery. They purchased Valley Oaks Ranch in Hopland, where they created a food and wine center and established an organic garden that became a showcase for 1,200 varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. Its success spurred the family to begin farming vineyards organically.
Jill Jackson
, who turned her New Orleans radio and TV interview show into the "Jill Jackson's Hollywood" gossip column that was syndicated by King Features to more than a thousand weekly and non-daily publications around the country since the 1980s, died in Beverly Hills on Sept. 8 of complications from a fall. She was 97.

Nor'easter Rains To Slow Holiday Traffic
Heavy rain will spread across New Jersey as the pre-Thanksgiving Nor'easter makes its full presence known.
Heavy rain from the storm will begin to fall in New Jersey this evening and continue into tomorrow dropping 2-4 inches before ending Wednesday.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for counties along the Delaware River including Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Burlington, Salem and Somerset starting at 7 p.m. through Wednesday afternoon when the heaviest rain will fall.
Temperatures will stay in the 40s and 50s into tomorrow morning before a cold front moves through and temperatures fall on Wednesday. The rain could end as some snow on Wednesday afternoon and roads could freeze up as the cold air moves in.
The heavy rain could lead to flooding in poor drainage areas and where sewers are covered by fallen leafs.
The National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory in effect for Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, Monmouth, Cumberland and Burlington counties starting at midnight until 10 a.m. Wednesday morning for winds out of the south of 20-30 MPH that could gust to 50 MPH. Drivers are warned that the wind could cause them to lose control of their vehicles especially on bridges and elevated roadways. There could also be power outages from fallen power lines and tree limbs.
The precipitation will begin as freezing rain and some snow that could coat roads in north Jersey and the Poconos before turning to rain as warmer moves in; a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for those areas.
Even with rain expected in the northeast, fliers from Newark, JFK, Laguardia and Philadelphia will likely be affected by delays although no flight delays are yet reported by FlightAware.com. Delta Air Lines will allow those with tickets already issued for flights from Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Philadelphia and most of its other northeast airports to change their flights that are going out on Wednesday the 27th without a penalty, and without a change fee.
As the storm moves east, the storm is expected to leave 5 to 8 inches of snow in Buffalo, more in the northern Adirondacks, and a winter storm watch was posted for central New York state with heavy rain expected in parts of the Hudson Valley. In the nation's capital, federal agencies opened Tuesday though the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the northern and western suburbs of Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, amid forecasts of a light mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain that could be topped off by heavy rain
The Nor'easter will end with snow showers in all areas on Wednesday night which leave a quick coating.
The storm will affect those traveling away from New Jersey by car. The rain starts on Wednesday in eastern New England as well with possible snow in the interior areas.

First Lab Grown Burger Revealed
After years of research and a budget exceeding $384,000 researchers in the Netherlands have introduced the first lab grown burger (shown above). It's grown from cow stem cells, looks like a grayish matter which there is no way on earth I'm trying. The patty however is then dyed to make it look like a regular meet.
Researchers have claimed it's very hard to tell the difference in taste of the normal burger and lab grown one. I get the feeling fast food chains like Burger King and McDonald's will be the first to adopt to lab grown beef to cut on costs. Five years from now I expect half the food we consume is lab grown.

How a Ticket Becomes a Commit
This page describes the overall workflow for how tickets (bugs and enhancement requests) make their way through the JIRA ticketing system and ultimately become part of Clojure, ClojureScript, and ClojureCLR.
The overall process described here has several goals:
- Maintain Clojure quality
- Fix problems that are important to users
- Engage the community in working toward the best possible Clojure
There are several groups involved in this process with increasing levels of capability:
- Anyone - anyone can submit a bug or enhancement request to Clojure once you have created a Clojure JIRA account
- Contributors - anyone that has signed the contributor agreement can supply patches or work or otherwise work on improving tickets
- Screeners - a smaller group of trusted individuals have been granted the ability to move tickets through (some of) the stages of the process, in particular the Triage and Screening activities
- BDFL - Rich Hickey is the creator and Benevolent Dictator for Life of what goes into Clojure. Stuart Halloway also has a special level of access and typically commits patches to Clojure.
Ticket fields
There are several important fields on a ticket that jointly determine it's "state" in the workflow below. Some key fields to know about:
- JIRA status- these govern the default JIRA workflow and consist of Open, In progress, Reopened, Resolved, Closed
- The Clojure workflow does not really distinguish between these much other than general open/closed differentiation
- Approval- a custom field that is (mostly) how Screeners change the state of a ticket
- None - new ticket
- Triaged - screener has approved the ticket as worth working on
- Vetted - screener and Rich have approved the ticket as worth working on
- Screened - screener has approved a ticket's patch for review by Rich
- Incomplete - screener has requested improvements to a ticket or patch
- Ok - Rich has approved the ticket for inclusion
- Not Approved - ?? deprecated?
- Test - ?? deprecated?
- Patch- qualifies the kind of patch attached
- None - no patch
- Code - code only, no test
- Code and Test - code and test
- Fixed, New, Invalid, Accepted - ?? deprecated?
- Fix version
- Release X.X - specific targeted release
- Backlog - will consider in future release
- Approved Backlog, Reviewed Backlog - ?? deprecated?
- Resolution- when a ticket is closed, it will have a resolution
- Declined - did not accept a ticket for work
- Duplicate
- Completed
- Unresolved
The diagram below documents the process used for how tickets make their way through the system. The rounded boxes represent states in the workflow. They have well defined criteria (which sometimes cover multiple fields) such that each of these states can have a report. In general, a single line state indicates the Approval state. If additional fields are in play, they are listed after the state.
The colored blocks represent activities performed by different groups - the colors correspond to the group (Orange = contributors, Blue = screeners, Green = BDFL). Diamonds represent decisions to be made during an activity. Activities are described in more detail below the diagram
- Who: Screeners
- Report: Open tickets
- Goal: decide whether the bug or enhancement described in the ticket is actually a real bug or enhancement.
- For bugs, there should be some demonstration that the problem actually exists (output from a repl, test, etc).
- Actions:
- Comment on ticket to ask for more information, better description, better demonstration of problem, etc
- Close with Resolution=Decline, reasons:
- Not a bug: submitter misunderstood or misused a feature
- Scope too big: feature may be better served by creating a page in the design wiki than in a ticket
- Enhancement not wanted: enhancement is not something we want to do
- Duplicate: of existing ticket
- Set Approval=Triaged - problem is ok
- If needed, adjust ticket to standards of triaged ticket below
- Who: Rich
- Report: Triaged tickets
- Goal: second check on whether the bug/enhancement is worth working on and decision of whether it's suitable for the next release.
- Actions:
- Close w Resolution=Declined - as above, ticket may not be something we want to address
- Set Approval=Vetted - problem is good
- Who: Rich
- Report: Vetted tickets
- Goal: determine whether a ticket is in scope for next release or should be in backlog
- Actions:
- Set Fix Version to "Backlog" - don't want to fix it in the next release
- Set Fix Version to current release
- If does not have patch, will show up in "Needs Patch" report
- If does have patch, will show up in "Screenable" report
- Dev Patch
- Who: contributors (anyone with signed CA)
- Report: "Needs Patch" and "Incomplete" tickets
- Goal: create a high quality ticket and patch for consideration (see sections below)
- Actions:
- Edit ticket or update patch to address problems or gaps based on comments.
- Screening
- Who: Screeners
- Reports: Screenable tickets (for new vetted tickets with patches), Incomplete tickets that have changed recently and may need re-review
- Goal: verify that ticket and patch are ready for Rich to review.
- The quality bar is HIGH - the ticket and patch should be perfect
- Actions:
- Set Approval=Incomplete and add comment describing needed improvements
- Set Approval=Screened - ticket and patch are perfect and Rich should review
- Final screening
- Who: Rich
- Report: Screened tickets
- Goal: Rich blessing the change
- Actions:
- Set Approval=Incomplete - ticket or patch needs improvement
- Set Approval=OK - everything is good, ready to commit
- Commit
- Who: Stu H (usually)
- Report: OK tickets
- Goal: Final review of change and commit to Clojure source
- Actions:
- Set Approval=Accepted and commit patch to clojure src
- Backlog Review
- Who: Rich (primarily)
- Report: Backlog tickets
- Goal: See if backlogged tickets should be pulled into next release
- Actions:
- Set Fix Version from Backlog to current release
- (or don't to leave in Backlog)
See Submitting bugs and enhancement requests if you are looking for instructions on submitting a bug report or enhancement request. If you are a Clojure contributor having problems with Clojure changes, submitting patches, the status of a patch, or other questions related to changes to Clojure or the contrib libraries, please ask a question on the clojure-dev Google group.
Thanks for contributing to Clojure!
and thanks to: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/sending-patches

Developing and submitting patches to Clojure and Clojure Contrib
If you've got a bug fix or feature you'd like to submit to the Clojure, Clojure Contrib Libraries, ClojureScript or Clojure CLR projects, first - thanks! Before you get too deep into the code, please make sure you review the contributing guidelines -- it's important to submit a Contributor's agreement as detailed on that page. Once it's been received (your name will appear on the contributor's list on that page), you can join the clojure-dev Google group. Anyone with a CA can become a member of our Confluence and JIRA. Just sign up (please use a recognizable name), then ask on the clojure-dev group and I'll bump up your membership level to make edits.
So You Have an Idea...
In order to make sure you are not duplicating effort, fixing a feature, or planning an unwelcome change, please coordinate with the community, by first examining existing issues (clojure's, links to the various contrib libraries' JIRA projects can be found on the Where Did Clojure Contrib Go page), and discussing your patch plan on the clojure-dev Google group. If you are not a contributor, anyone may discuss ideas for changes on the Clojure Google group, to which most or all contributors also belong.
Track it in JIRA
If you've got the go-ahead and there isn't already a ticket for your issue/feature, please create one. Make sure the ticket includes a link to the discussion in the Google Group or IRC, so someone reviewing your ticket can quickly get up to speed. Assign yourself to the ticket so people know you are working on it. Please don't assign things to others without their consent.
Prioritization and Milestones (Committers)
Committers use the prioritization and milestone fields. If you are not the committer for a lib, please don't change the priority or the default milestone assignment.
Once you're ready to craft your code, the first thing you'll need is a clone of the Clojure or appropriate repository. The examples below are for the Clojure project -- for submissions to Clojure itself:
Next, create a new branch for yourself:
Now you're ready to get hacking. Make sure relevant doc strings are up to date and that all existing regression tests still pass e.g. for clojure core run:
As noted in readme.txt, you will need to run ./antsetup.sh as a one-time setup before running ant. If you want to add new tests, that would be great too. Once you've finished making your changes you need to commit them.
Now that you've made your changes it's time to get them into a patch. You need to update the repo and fix any conflicts you had.
Once you've fixed any conflicts, you're ready to create a patch:
Adding patches
Now you can attach that patch file to the JIRA ticket. In the More Actions menu near the top of the page, select Attach Files. Please read and follow the recommendations below when writing comments about your attached patch. Screeners have limited time available for screening. You are more likely to get your patch approved if you can be as clear as you can, and as efficient with their time as possible.
- Include the file name and date of the patch in any comments referring to it. It is possible to match up comments with patches based on the date and time, but it is tedious and error prone.
- To get email whenever the ticket is updated, click on the word "Watch" in the top right area of the page. This can help you know when someone else comments on your patch, or creates a new one, etc. Click "Watching" if you want to stop these update emails for that ticket.
- If you create a new patch that incorporates one or more earlier ones, please combine them all into one patch file, and indicate in your comments that you have done this (with file names and dates of the patches you are superseding).
- If one of your patches becomes superseded by a later one, consider removing your patch to avoid confusion. See the instructions under the heading "Removing Patches" below.
Mark the ticket as having a patch ready for screening by editing the Patch attribute. Click the Edit button near the top left of the page for the ticket. In the next page find the heading "Patch" with a popup menu next to it. Select "Code" or "Code and Test" from that menu, then click the Update button at the bottom of the page. If you do not see an Edit button on the page for the ticket, and you have signed a CA, ask on the developer's email list to be given permission to edit Jira tickets.
Removing patches
To remove a patch (e.g. because it is obsolete), go to the page for the ticket and look for the "Attachments" heading beneath the Description text. Far to the right is a plus sign and a triangle. Click on the triangle and select "Manage Attachments" from the menu. Think carefully on which one you want to delete, and click the trash can icon next to it. Note: Most (or all?) people have permission to remove their own attachments, but not those added by someone else.
Updating stale patches
A stale patch means one that used to apply cleanly to the latest Clojure master version, but due to commits made since the patch was created, it no longer does. In particular, the output of this command:
includes 'Patch failed' and 'To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort"'. You should do the "git am --abort" to get rid of state of the failed patch attempt left behind by the command above.
"git am" is very "fragile", meaning that if the patch_file was created with one version of the source code, all it takes for the command to fail is a change in any of the lines of context present in the patch file, even if it is not one of the lines being changed by the patch. This is especially common for files containing unit tests, because people usually add new tests at the end of such a file, and so the lines of context before the new test change if two different patches add a new test to the end of the same file.
To apply such a patch, the 'patch' program by Larry Wall is extremely useful. It comes preinstalled with Mac OS X and most Linux distributions. You can easily install it with Cygwin for Windows.
The output will give you some hints of whether each "hunk" of the patch file succeeded or failed. If they all succeed, then likely the only thing wrong with the patch file is that a few context lines were changed. If any hunks fail, patch creates files ending with ".rej" containing rejected hunks that it did not apply, and you can focus on those as places where the source code likely changed more significantly. A command like this will find them all:
You will need to look at those rejected hunks, perhaps think about them for a bit to see if and how they still apply, and apply them by hand-editing the source code yourself.
When recreating a new git format patch with:
it puts your name and the current date near the top of the file. If the only changes that you have made are in the context lines, please keep the original author's credit intact by copying the name and date from the original patch that you started from, then upload that.
If you write unit tests where there were none in the original patch, but didn't otherwise modify the original patch, and you would like your name in the commit log for your work, create a separate patch of test additions with your name on it, leaving the original author's name on the updated patch.
Clojure is Stricter than Contrib
The expectation of stability and performance is much higher for Clojure than for Clojure Contrib. Rich personally reviews every change to Clojure. To save Rich's time, other committers may do the work in git. When this happens, you can see Rich's review process in JIRA, both in the comments and in tickets being moved from 'Screened' to 'Ok' by Rich.
Speculative Changes
If you want to share work-in-progress on some feature you are not yet ready to propose with a ticket, you can post a patch made as above, or a pointer to your repo, to the clojure-dev group.
Vetting tickets, and screening and comitting patches
Vetting Tickets (Clojure/core)
The core team vet tickets, getting them into a state where they can be tested, and screened. Steps are:
- Take ownership of a ticket that is status "New" and not currently owned by someone else.
- Verify that the issue is reproducible, adding a test case if necessary.
- Set the approval to "Vetted."
- If the ticket has (or you write) a patch that applies, test it. If it seems to work, set the status to "Test."
- If there isn't a unit test and you feel like writing one, please do so.
- Release ownership of the ticket.
Screening Tickets (Screeners)
See Screening Tickets.
Committing Clojure Patches (Committers)
- start with a ticket that has been OKed by Rich
- make sure you have the right patch
- make sure the author has signed the CA
- steps that can be batched up:
- double-check that the patch applies cleanly and builds locally
- commit and push the patch
- close the associated ticket(s), if any
I find it safest to do committing from a separate local repository. I have a "clojure" git clone that does not have push permissions for dev and screening, and a separate "clojure-for-commit" checkout for committing. This reduces the chance that my muscle memory will produce a "git push" at the wrong time.
Closing Tickets (Committers)
If you are a committer on a lib, you can screen tickets and close them all in one step. Alternately, you can review tickets screened by others, and then either close them or bounce them back (as in the Screening step above).
While you have the ability to just push your stuff into the repo, please use the tickets systems too. It makes a fine todo system, helps organize bigger milestones, lets others hop in and help or provide input, and provides a place to hang discussions about your changes.
Screening process and figure
Screening Process Described
An issue is created in JIRA that expresses some unit of work that is desired. This could be a defect, an enhancement or a task.
Clojure/core team vets the ticket, and changes the approval status to Vetted, indicating this is a problem that we want to solve.
Next a contributor writes a patch to address a defect or enhancement, and attaches the patch to the issue. The contributor should also indicate what kind of patch this is in the ticket. The approval status is then set to test, indicating it is dev complete.
A screener will review the issue and marks the approval status as Screened. This will set the issue to waiting on Rich.
Rich comes along and blesses the issue by setting it the approval status to OK, meaning the code is ready to build & push to git.
When the code has been pushed, the issue is marked as Resolved.
At any point along this path a Screener can mark the issue as Declined, meaning it is not something we are going to address.
Also, at any point a Clojure/core member can mark the approval status as Incomplete. This indicates more information is needed to continue work on the issue. There is also an optional Waiting On? field that should be set to indicate who is expected to provide the additional information

Os designers de todo o mundo estão enviando designs criativos para Steppel na categoria de design de logo - custom.
The Website "Praktikanten.de" is a private project. It's a service to connect "Praktikanten" with companies and companies with "Praktikanten". "Praktikanten" is the German word for "Trainees" or "Interns".
I need a logo with the brand name "Praktikanten.de" and the subline "Praktika und Studentenjobs" (it means translated "internships and student-jobs").
The website connects trainees with companies and companies with trainees. Trainees can find the jobdescriptions of companies and companies can find the "applicatins for a post" of the trainees.
At the moment it's still a private project, I hope I can make some business out of it in future.
I have no ideas, that's the reason why I use 99designs.com. ;)
It woul be nice, if it will be a combined logo (words and a sign or is it called "blip" in english?).
The website-Design is already build , it uses green and grey. The colours should be used unless your proposal is much better. ;)
Have a look: http://www.ottner.de/praktikanten/v…on1_01.jpg
No restrictions at the moment.

Looking for a new apartment? Make sure to ask about these six must-have amenities!
1. Washer and dryer
Having a washer and dryer in your apartment, or at least in the building, will save you a great deal of time, money, and effort.
If the washing machines are located within your building, getting your clothes back to your apartment will be that much easier. And if the washer and dryer already come with your own apartment unit, that's even more convenient. Ultimately, you won't have to spend an extra 15 minutes trekking in and out of your building, while carrying a giant load of clothes each time.
2. Dishwasher
Even if you'll be living on your own, a dishwasher is certainly convenient. With your busy schedule, you may not have the time or energy to be standing at the sink, painstakingly washing and drying all the dishes you left piled up over the week.
A dishwasher will help you get the little things done more efficiently so you can have time to focus on other, more important things — and have clean plates too.
3. Parking
If you live in a crowded city, you can easily envision this scene: cars in bumper to bumper traffic, sporadic honking, and — inevitably — no place to park your car on the street. You're desperate and all you want to do is go home and unwind after a long day, not spend half an hour circling your neighborhood for a parking spot.
The good news is, you can avoid this stressful scenario by hunting for an apartment complex with private parking, such as a lot or a garage. Having your own, designated parking space will not only alleviate any parking-related anxieties you may have, but it will also afford you some peace and security about where you're leaving your car.
Of course, the general safety of any neighborhood varies for everyone, but it's always nice to know exactly where your car is and that it's not being disturbed.
4. Cooling and heating system
One of, if not the, most important aspects of having your own apartment is your personal comfort. Make sure you scout out a place that has both air conditioning and heating.
For some of you, living without air conditioning isn't such a big deal, especially if you've done it before and fared well — which is totally fine! However, speaking from the experience of living in a dorm for two years without air conditioning, surviving the hotter months during the academic year (mostly the end of August/beginning of September and May) was quite brutal. Sometimes, fans just aren't enough. If you're the kind of person who needs air conditioning to survive in the summer, make sure a cooling system comes with the apartment.
On that note, it's also important to check that your new place has a heating system. During the winter when the temperature dips well below 20 degrees, you'll be inside your cozy, heated apartment and congratulate yourself for making such a wise decision.
5. Storage space
With all the stuff you own, you're sure to need an adequate space to store everything. When looking for an apartment, check for closet and storage space to ensure that there is enough room for all of your belongings. Appropriate spaces within the unit may include closets, mostly for your clothes and miscellaneous things. It's a bonus if the apartment building has a basement or some sort of storage facility where residents can keep some of their larger items.
6. Fitness center
Perhaps this isn't for everyone, but for those of you who go to the gym on a regular basis, a fitness center is a necessary component. Having a gym right in the convenience of your own apartment building may motivate you to go routinely, as you won't have to make the trip to a local gym that's farther away.
Additionally, as a building resident, you may be able to pay a relatively inexpensive fee to use the fitness center, as opposed to the amount of money you'd shell out at a local gym membership.

text: I installed today virtualbox I believe 4.0 on a debian squeeze installation and successfully created a vm within it. I would like now to use phpvirtualbox. I found this tutorial but it is for ubuntu and virtual box 4.1. I know ubuntu is very similar; will the tutorial work if ran on squeeze? Does it matter that I installed virtualbox 4.0 and not 4.1 that the tutorial is for?
