So it's been a while because I guess I kind of forgot about it... sorry! So a lot has happened and also not a lot at all. It really seems like we've been going to a lot of concerts though... so here are some bands we saw...
hindu pirates
the growlers
black lips
AND coming up we have a week off and we plan to chill by the beach by day (and work i guess bleh) and go to concerts by night. We plan on seeing the following:
ra ra riot
dr dog
soft pack
surfer blood
youth lagoon
cloud nothings
so that should be fun! We also decided for graduation we would be going on a very grand road trip around california. I have lived in California for my whole life and have never really stepped out of the OC for very long so it should be fun! We want to go to places like Venice Beach and Santa Monica (pretty close to us), a place called Carrizo Plain, with just a huge field of flowers that we want to frolic in., Sana Barbara, San Francisco, I thought it would be cool to go Yosemite and basically all the places that are in california that we've never had the chance to actually go to! Plus it will be our last hooplaaa before we settle into our lives as ... adults? Or at least together if Eden goes to MIT. Anyway the plan is to move in together after high school but we shall see what happens!
Sorry for the long time of not posting!!!!

Although Apple's invitation to its Worldwide Developers Conference says, "It's the week we've all been waiting for," many are saying that fanboys should lower their expectations.
The keynote of the conference, and usually the big press blowout, will undoubtedly have some big announcements -- but it's probably going to be limited to operating systems, Macs and Apple TV, according to Wired. Since Apple usually unveils a new smartphone every 12 months, it would be breaking tradition by launching the new iPhone after the iPhone 4S has only been around for nine months.
It is far more likely that Apple will show off its new Macs which are largely in need of a refresh, according to 9to5Mac. Although laptops aren't as sexy as mobile devices, it's still a primary market or Apple.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Despite Tim Cook's cagey answers about Apple TV, analysts are still predicting an announcement about Apple's new interface. "This is an area of intense interest for us," Cook said."We are going to keep pulling the string and see where this takes us."

This post is written for the 62nd (whew!) edition of the Carnival of Genealogy. The topic is Three Wishes.
This is your chance to write a letter to Genea-Santa*. Make a list of 3 gifts you would like to receive this holiday season from 3 of your ancestors. These have to be material things, not clues to your family history (we're talking gifts here, not miracles!). Do you wish your great grandmother had gifted you a cameo broach? Or maybe you'd like to have the family bible from great great grandpa Joe? How about a baby doll that once belonged to your dear Aunt Sarah?
This is a fantasy so you can dream up gift items. They don't have to be actual items that you know your ancestors owned. However, they do have to be historically accurate to the time period in which your ancestor lived. Do your research. No asking for a new computer from your great grand aunt! Genea-Santa wouldn't like that ;-) The deadline for submissions is December 15th.
*Genea-Santa is a non-denominational guy. He's happy to accept lists from members of all faiths and from atheists as well.
Dear Genea-Santa,
If I could have three things from my ancestors this Christmas, I have just the list.
First of all, I would love to have a Victorian remembrance card woven with some of my great great grandmother's auburn hair. She (Bertina Johnson Winje) gave a card just like that just to her son, Ole. My mother said that when she was a small girl on her grandparents' farm, that keepsake card was safely tucked inside the Johnson family bible. I have never seen the card myself, because it was lost some years later, before I was born. I have always been told that Bertina had lovely red hair, but since I do not have a color photograph of her. I would like to see it for myself.
Then, perhaps you would consider tracking down my great grandmother's wedding dress from 1886? Malla Johnson was a very frugal woman, so she may have cut off the train, let out the seams, and found a way to use it many times over in later years. But, I would want it just the way it appeared in her wedding photograph. It had a tiny, long-sleeved fitted jacket with cuff and collars, and a full skirt with resplendent layers of ruffles, all in black silk. It fit her perfectly, and, 17-year-old bride that she was, she looked so lovely with her big, wide eyes and freshly pin-curled bangs. I think it must have been one of the prettiest dresses any of my ancestors, modest farming folk all of them, ever wore, and I'm sure her mother helped hand sew it.
Last, but not least, is a funny sort of a request. My Great Aunt Mabel Johnson was the closest thing to a grandmother I knew. She had no children of her own, but somewhat of a kid at heart, she never turned down a card game of "Old Maid," a challenge in a coloring book, or the opportunity to go to the park. She distracted naughty children by using a clicker, rather than getting upset or scolding, and she loved to sing silly songs and tell jokes. If it wouldn't be too much to ask, I'd like to have that colorful decorative plate that always hung on the wall above her kitchen stove, serving no real purpose other than to catch cooking grease and dust. The plate was typical 1950s kitchen kitsch: it had two raised angel fish motifs and swirls of purple, black, turquoise, and yellow that didn't really go with anything else. Perhaps it is fixed in my memory more than many other things because it was so mismatched. But, thinking of it reminds me of Mabel's little house with the detached garage, the old ringer washer on the laundry porch, the sea green Depression glass cups and saucer that always came out with coffee and cookies, and her dogs, Tula, and then Buffy, curling up on a towel that protected the seat of the biggest overstuffed chair I had ever seen.
Anyway, Dear Genea-Santa, I have tried my best to be a good girl this year, but if you can't manage all three wishes, I understand. Sometimes the wanting of things is better than the having, and you of all people can appreciate the power of imagination.
Happy Holidays, and please watch your cholesterol levels on Christmas Eve; we want you to be around for a long time to come...

WASHINGTON - Saints defensive end Will Smith says he's glad he got a chance to hear former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams testify at an appeals hearing in the bounties case.
Smith and New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma attended Friday's session, where Williams was cross-examined by the players' lawyers for about four hours.
Smith described the hearing as "peaceful" and "not awkward."
Smith and Vilma - along with two former Saints, free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove and Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita - were suspended by the NFL for the Saints' cash-for-hits program that the league says Williams ran from 2009 to 2011.
Smith, suspended four games, and Vilma, suspended for the entire current season, have been playing while their appeals are pending. Fujita later had his suspension reduced to one game. Hargrove has not played in the NFL this season, but faces a two-game suspension if he signs with a team.
Smith and Vilma declined to discuss any details of Friday's hearing. Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has insisted on keeping the contents of the appeals process private. The hearings this week have been behind closed doors.
"Paul wants to keep it under wraps, keep everything low-key ... so not really much I can say right now," Vilma said
Neither player was required to attend Friday, but as he left, Vilma said: "Of course it felt good being able to go in there."
Vilma said it was the first time he had seen Williams since the end of last season in January.
"We got to hear what Gregg had to say," Smith said. "We wanted to make sure we were there just to hear him out."
Right from the start, the NFL said Williams was in charge of a pay-for-pain bounty system with the New Orleans Saints.
The former defensive coordinator - who told the league about others' involvement - was being cross-examined Friday by lawyers for players appealing their suspensions in the case.
"We know what we did and know what we didn't do," Smith said.
The hearing is part of the latest round of player appeals overseen by Tagliabue. Former Saints assistant coach Mike Cerullo faced questions Thursday, when lawyers for the league and for players spent more than nine hours in a Washington office building.
Tagliabue and various lawyers declined to comment Thursday or Friday.
Vilma and Smith traveled to Washington after playing in New Orleans' 23-13 loss at Atlanta on Thursday night.
The NFL has described Vilma and Smith as ringleaders of a performance pool designed to knock targeted opponents out of games. The league has sworn statements from Williams and Cerullo saying Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked quarterback Brett Favre out of the NFC championship game at the end of the 2009 season.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued the initial suspensions, which also included a full-season ban for Saints head coach Sean Payton.
Lawsuits brought by Vilma and the NFL Players Association to challenge Goodell's handling of the case, including his decision in October to appoint Tagliabue as the arbitrator for the appeals, are pending in federal court in New Orleans.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan gave the parties until Monday to answer questions about whether the NFL's collective bargaining agreement prevents a commissioner from handing out discipline for legal contact, and whether the CBA's passages about detrimental conduct are "ambiguous, hence unenforceable."
In March, the NFL announced that its investigation showed the Saints put together a bounty pool of up to $50,000 to reward game-ending injuries inflicted on opponents. "Knockouts" were worth $1,500 and "cart-offs" $1,000 - with payments doubled or tripled for the playoffs, the league said.
According to the league, the pay-for-pain program was administered by Williams, with Payton's knowledge. At the time, Williams apologized for his role, saying: "It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it."
Later that month, Payton became the first head coach suspended by the league for any reason - banned for all of this season without pay - and Williams was suspended indefinitely.
Williams was known for his aggressive, physical defenses as a coordinator for Tennessee, Washington, Jacksonville and New Orleans, and during his time as head coach of Buffalo. In January, he was hired by St. Louis to lead their defense.

Whatcom Community CollegeHome Whatcom Community College. Core themes: Achieving Success. Building Community. Advancing Equity. Enhancing Effectiveness.Home Menu
Whatcom students provide invaluable professional services
Learning doesn't end at the classroom for students in Whatcom's paralegal studies program. These students polish their skills and knowledge in service to the community through their participation in Street Law @ WCC.
Under the guidance of the paralegal studies program coordinator, Street Law @ WCC is a service to provide legal advice and counsel for all currently enrolled Whatcom students (and community members) while also creating opportunities for paralegal studies students to hone their client interviewing and intake skills. Services include a brief consultation with an attorney regarding issues such as family matters, landlord/tenant disputes, debt collection cases, and more.
Street Law @ WCC is offered in fall, winter, and spring quarters. As many as 150 clients have benefited from this service annually.
When should I start applying to universities?Four-year schools have varying admission deadlines. Please refer to university websites for specific deadlines and application requirements.
Can I transfer to an out-of-state college?
Yes. Many schools outside of Washington State accept our transfer degrees. We suggest contacting your prospective university early to learn how your WCC credits may be accepted.
How can I get help with my university admissions essay?
Attend a WWU Personal Statement Writing Workshop! Even if you're not applying to WWU, this workshop will give you lots of great tips that you can use in any admissions essay. These events are usually offered during fall and winter quarters-check the college events calendar for more info. The WCC Writing Center (CAS 112) is a also great place to get help with your admissions essay. Writing Center staff can help you with all stages of the writing process from brainstorming to editing.
Should I pick a major before transferring to a university?
YES! Selecting and preparing for a major while you're at WCC can help to strengthen your university admissions application. It will also help you maximize your time and your money at the community college and university. Some majors (especially sciences, engineering and business) have prerequisite courses that you can and should be taking while at community college.
What transfer degree is right for me?
The transfer degree you pick will likely depend on what type of major you're preparing for. For example, if you're interested in studying business, we suggest the Associate in Business MRP/DTA. For a science/engineering track, check out the Associate in Science Transfer degree. The Associate in Arts & Sciences-DTA can be customized for a variety of majors including humanities, social sciences, and education. We recommend meeting with an advisor to help you select the degree that best fits your educational and career goals.
How do I order official WCC transcripts?Utilize our online or in-person transcript request process. http://www.whatcom.ctc.edu/student-services/registration-student-records/transcript-requests
I'm not sure what I want to major in; how can I get help?Check out the "How to pick a major" link to the right. Consider taking Psych 105 (career search class), Co-op 180 (preparing for work experience), utilize the resources in the Career & Transfer Center (LDC 116), or make an appointment with the transfer advisor (360-383-3080).
How will my Whatcom Community College credits transfer?
Information about how Whatcom credits will transfer to a four-year college or university can often be found on the respective college's website. Please view the Degree & Major Information page for a list of popular Washington State colleges and universities.
What grade point average (GPA) will guarantee that I am admitted to the university of my choice?Unfortunately, there is no magic number, but a good GPA does impact your ability to be admitted to certain universities and certain programs. Check with the university and the department to find out minimum requirements and GPA averages for students who are admitted. A GPA of at least 2.0 is required in order to receive a degree from Whatcom.
What is S/U grading?S/U grading (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) is usually requested by students when a letter grade may negatively impact their GPA or when they are taking a class because of interest and do not want a letter grade. Any regular letter grade course can be changed to S/U grading at the registration window through the 8th week of the quarter. Students should think carefully before making this choice. Many universities will not accept S/U grades for courses which are used to meet general university requirements if transferred outside of the AAS degree. Also, many departments do not accept S/U grading to meet departmental course prerequisites. Before signing up for S/U grading, check the transfer policies and departmental policies at the university or college you plan to attend.
How is a "W" grade viewed?A "W" grade is recorded when a student officially withdraws from a class. One "W" grade is not usually a problem but a pattern of "W" grades may influence your ability to transfer to the college or university of your choice. Whatcom has a policy to alert you if you receive more than 21 credits of non-completion grades and you will be encouraged to discuss your situation with a college advisor. Sometimes, students register for more credits than they can handle and end up dropping a course or two each quarter. It is far better to enroll for less credits and complete them successfully than to enroll for more credits than you can handle. "W" grades are not computed into your GPA at Whatcom.
What about a "V" grade?A "V" grade on your Whatcom transcript generally means that you stopped attending class, didn't withdraw and the instructor gave you a "V" grade instead of an "F". A "V" grade is not computed into your GPA at Whatcom. However, some colleges and universities (like Western Washington University) will calculate the "V" grade into your GPA. If you are in doubt as to why you received a "V" grade, you should contact your instructor. Check with the college or university you plan to attend if this is an issue for you.
Can I repeat a course at Whatcom?A student may repeat any course that is not designated as repeatable for credit up to a maximum of 2 times (this is defined as two repeats in addition to the original enrollment.) Whatcom computes the GPA with the highest grade point value for any course that is repeated. If a student notifies the registration office by completing a "Repeat" card, the symbol "R" will be placed next to the grade of the other course and the credits and grade points for that course will not be calculated into the overall GPA on the transcript. Colleges and universities vary widely as to how they will view repeated courses and how they will compute the GPA. Many colleges and universities average the grades and the grade points for both courses. Check with the college or university you plan to attend before you repeat a course.

Introducing my beautiful baby niece Maya! ~ Apple and Blueberry Cake
I feel like I haven't baked anything in weeks but I did bake my favourite Chocolate-Lime cheesecake by Nigella Lawson on Sunday for Father's day but naughty me didn't take pics! My parents are over from Spain and have been staying with my sister and helping out with the baby but this weekend they are coming to stay with us, as it's my son's 16th birthday (still can't believe my son is going to be 16). So I decided to bake this Apple and Blueberry Cake, a simple but yummy cake to have for when they arrive, plus my dad adores apple cakes so I can't let down mi papa! ! I am sure this cake will go down a treat.

Jenny McCarthy recently sat down with Parade magazine. She told the mag she has a six month rule when it comes to dating. In the ten years since her divorce, her son has only met two men. "I don't introduce my son to anybody unless someone makes it six months."
I think this is a great rule to have, especially if you know a relationship isn't going anywhere.
Kids don't need to meet booty calls or flings.
They need to meet the real men who are going to stay and be in it for the long haul.

Supercritical fluids are produced by heating a gas above its critical temperature or compressing a liquid above its critical pressure. The critical temperature of a substance is the temperature above which a liquid phase cannot exist, regardless of pressure. The vapour pressure of a substance at its critical temperature is its critical pressure. At temperatures and pressures above but close to its critical temperature and pressure (the critical point), a substance is called a supercritical fluid.
Under these conditions, the molar volume is the same whether the original form was a liquid or a gas. Supercritical fluids have densities, viscosities and other properties that are intermediate between those of the substance in its gaseous and in its liquid state. Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used supercritical fluid because of its low critical temperature (31 oC), inertness, low toxicity and reactivity and high purity at low cost. Carbon dioxide does not dissolve polar compounds so when analysing that type of compounds methanol, cyclic ethers, water or formic acid can be added to the carbon dioxide.
Supercritical fluid chromatography
Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a hybrid of gas and liquid chromatography. SFC is of importance because it permits the separation and determination of a group of compounds that are not conveniently handled by either gas or liquid chromatography. These compounds are either nonvolatile or thermally labile so that gas chromatography cannot be used and they do not contain functional groups that make possible detection by liquid chromatography. SFC has been applied to a wide variety of materials including natural prodcuts, drugs, foods, pesticides and herbicides, fossil fuels, explosives and propellants.
A supercritical fluid chromatography instrument consists of a mobile phase container, an injector, a column in an oven, a restrictor and a detector. The components are similar to those of a gas chromatograph with exception of the restrictor. The restrictor is needed to maintain the pressure above the critical point. If the detector is a gas-phase detector working at atmospheric pressure (e.g., Flame Ionization Detector FID) the restrictor is placed before the detector. When using a detector that works under supercritical conditions (e.g., Ultra Violet detector UV) the restrictor is placed after the detector.
Mobile phases
The most widely used mobile phase for supercritical fluid chromatography is carbon dioxide because it is an excellent solvent for a variety of organic molecules. A number of other substances have served as mobile phase including ethane, pentane, nitrous oxide, dichlorofluormethane, diethylether, ammonia and tetrahydrofuran.
Both open-tubular and packed columns are used for SFC. The open-tubular columns are most useful for separations requiring high-efficiency separations and for complex samples. Packed columns are most useful for high-speed separations requiring a moderate column efficiency and for samples containing fewer components.
When using capillary columns and carbon dioxide practically all Gas Chromatography (GC) detectors and many High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) detectors can be used. With packed columns and organic modifiers the number of detectors available is more limited. The Flame Ionization Detector (FID) is the most frequently used detector. Other detectors that often are used are Flame Photometric Detector (FPD), Electron Capture Detector ECD and Mass Spectrometer (MS).
Supercritical fluid extraction
Supercritical fluids can be used to extract analytes from samples. The main advantages of using supercritical fluids for extractions is that they are inexpensive, contaminant free, and less costly to dispose safely than organic solvents.
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is based on the principle that solubilities in a supercritical fluid increase dramatically with increasing density, and that different solutes have different solubilities at the same conditions.
SFE is an important method for large-scale purification of complex liquid or solid matrices, such as polluted streams. The major advantage of this method is that the supercritical fluid can easily be removed after extraction by lowering the temperature or pressure or both. The supercritical fluid becomes a gas, and the extracted species condense into a liquid or solid. The problem of removing the extracting liquid is eliminated. An example of the SFE method is the removal of caffeine from coffee.
The main components of the SFE instrument are a pump, an extraction chamber, a recovery chamber and a collection device.
In order to generate a supercritical fluid, carbon dioxide is pressurized above its critical pressure in a pump. The mixture to be separated is placed in the extraction chamber and put in contact with the supercritical fluid. One of the elements (component A) in the mixture dissolves better in the critical fluid and leaves the residue enriched in the other components. The loaded solvent is then transferred to a recovery chamber, where component A is recovered by lowering the solvent's density. This density can be achieved by raising the temperature at constant pressure but more often it is achieve by reducing the pressure at constant temperature. After depressurizing, two methods have been adopted for collection of the extracted analyses, these are on-line or off-line SFE.
In on-line SFE, the extracted analytes are direct coupled to a chromatographic separation system such as SFC, gas chromatography (GC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with appropriate detection. Directly coupled GC is limited to volatile compounds while SFE-SFC can be used for higher molecular weights.
The off-line approach allows the extraction and concentration of analytes for subsequent HPLC analysis.

Carran is Covington's first female mayor
Says she doesn't feel like a politician
The first female mayor in Covington says she doesn't view herself as a politician.
Sherry Carran told The Kentucky Enquirer that she gave up studying city planning in the 1970s because she didn't want to participate in local politics. She decided to pursue architecture, but ended up serving in local politics anyway.
"I began to realize that our elected officials really didn't have a handle on a lot of issues they were voting on," she said. "I always say, there are two things that affect people on a daily basis: land use issues and politics. Land use issues, I was already dealing with. And I decided with the politics, you have to deal with it one way or another, so I decided to run for city office in 2006."
She served there for six years before becoming the first female mayor of Covington, which is northern Kentucky's largest city.
But she still doesn't consider herself a politician.
"I started out as a community activist, and I'm still a community activist," she said. "I've never seen myself as a politician. Technically I am, but I've never seen myself as a politician, and I don't believe I've ever acted as a politician."
During her time in public office, Carran has gotten experience in regional issues through involvement with groups such as the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments, a transportation planning agency involved in the Brent Spence Bridge replacement; and Vision 2015, the Northern Kentucky community visioning initiative.
"She's interacted with a lot of people, and built credibility through a quiet, passionate, thoughtful model of leadership," said Mark Neikirk, director of Northern Kentucky University's Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement.
"I think that's one of Sherry's strengths: she has this real passion for the City of Covington, but she's very at home working with the neighboring cities and neighboring city leaders," he said. "When you look through the city's history, that's not always been the case; there have been some strained relationships between the Dixie Highway cities and Covington, but she does not exhibit that at all."
Carran assumes the spot during a critical juncture for the city, which is on the cusp of an economic rebirth.
"I think Sherry is going to be a great leader for the city of Covington," said Commissioner Steve Frank. "She was shoulder to shoulder with (previous mayor) Chuck Scheper and the rest of the commission in setting the direction of the city (last year), and we're now transitioning from cost containment to a period of growth."

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) is expanding its developer offering for programmers awaiting the BlackBerry PlayBook with additional tools and options to expand their commercial opportunities. Scheduled to launch in the U.S. and Canada on April 19, the PlayBook will now be supported by two optional "app players" that provide an application runtime environment for BlackBerry Java apps and Android v2.3 apps. These new app players will allow users to download BlackBerry Java apps and Android apps from BlackBerry App World and run them on their BlackBerry PlayBook.
In addition, RIM will shortly release the native SDK for the BlackBerry PlayBook enabling C/C++ application development on the BlackBerry Tablet OS. For game-specific developers, RIM is also announcing that it has gained support from two leading game development tooling companies, allowing developers to use the cross-platform game engines from Ideaworks Labs and Unity Technologies to bring their games to the BlackBerry PlayBook.
"Developers currently building for the BlackBerry or Android platforms will be able to quickly and easily port their apps to run on the BlackBerry Tablet OS thanks to a high degree of API compatibility. The new optional app players will be available for download from BlackBerry App World and will be placed in a secure 'sandbox' on the BlackBerry PlayBook where the BlackBerry Java or Android apps can be run," said Mike Lazaridis, president and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. "The upcoming addition of BlackBerry Java and Android apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook on BlackBerry App World will provide our users with an even greater choice of apps and will also showcase the versatility of the platform."
RIM says that operational functionality in its new developer ecosystem is strong; developers can repackage, code sign, and submit their BlackBerry Java and Android apps to BlackBerry App World. Users will be able to download both the app players and the BlackBerry Java and Android apps from BlackBerry App World.

Slow crossing: City delay irks merchants
Back in May, the Downtown Business Association asked the city to open an east-end Downtown Mall crossing to replace the 6th and 7th Street crossings closed a year ago when amphitheater and transit center construction began.
Merchants are still waiting, and the city is in no hurry to grant their wishes.
Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville co-chair Bob Stroh wrote a letter November 26 urging City Councilors to "take immediate action" to approve the 5th Street crossing that his organization wants, that city consultants recommended, and that a majority of speakers at a November 15 public hearing supported.
"We believe the reopening of an east-end crossing is vital to the continued economic health of this area of the Mall," wrote Stroh. "We hoped and expected a speedy hearing."
Any hopes of a crossing for the holiday season were dashed when the Planning Commission postponed a decision to allow for more study. It will take the issue up again at a work session in January.
"We have not received official information from the city so we can make an informed decision," says Planning Commission Chair Karen Firehock. And while she does not offer an opinion on the DBAC's request, "In the past, I have not been a fan of Mall crossings," she says.
The city hired consultants Rummel, Klepper and Kahl last spring to study a Mall crossing. Its October report is on the city's website, and it was in the package that went out to the Planning Commission, says city planning chief Jim Tolbert. "There are some engineering questions they wanted answered," he says.
Vice Mayor Kevin Lynch has attended work sessions on the Mall and agrees there are concerns about visitors being able to find and circulate around the area– but he's "ambivalent" about whether a Mall crossing will achieve those goals.
"I think [the merchants'] concerns are valid, but I'm not sure their solutions are the right solution," he says.
While the consultants peg the cost of new pavement stripes and signs for 5th Street at $5,000, their engineering report calls for an ambitious makeover that includes utility under-grounding, drainage improvements, new curbs and sidewalks– a smorgasbord of upgrades that would run the cost into the $880,000-$970,000 range.
Lynch advocates smaller steps, such as better signage and parking, and visual clues on side streets, such as banners, so people can tell they're at the edge of a pedestrian paradise.
"I would caution against plunking down $800,000," he says. "If the purpose is so visitors can find parking, I think we should spend a few tens of thousands on signage. If it's so visitors can find the Mall, it's more prudent to spend tens of thousands for consistent banners or consistent light fixtures or visual clues like brick crosswalks."
He adds, "There's a lot we can do besides spending $800,000."
City staff has added $500,000 as a line item to a draft of the capital improvement budget "so if they decide to do it, the money is there," explains Tolbert.
Lynch warns that upcoming repairs on the Belmont Bridge could clog a Mall crossing with bumper-to-bumper traffic and adversely affect the pedestrian ambience.
While delivery trucks already have limited access at 5th Street for loading and unloading, a pedestrian claims she was nearly run down by a car crossing the Mall there last week, and wonders if a second crossing has unofficially opened.
No, says Tolbert, "but there are people who've done it illegally."
Indeed, Antics proprietor Amy Lemley says, "We see 10 to 15 cars a day drive up 5th Street. They're confused. They back up onto Water or they drive on through across the Mall– and some are going pretty fast."
As confused motorists will no doubt continue to drive illegally across the bricks, merchants are eager for the Planning Commission to make a decision.
Stroh, whose office is in the Market Street Parking Garage, points out that the two previous crossings have been closed for a year without a replacement plan. "Not a day goes by but someone comes to the garage and asks how you're supposed to get around the Mall.
"The business community has a responsibility to customers," Stroh says. "We feel an urgency. I'm not sure City Council and the Planning Commission feel that urgency."
$880,000 to let cars cross here? They're already crossing.

GelMoment is pleased to clarify the differences between traditional gel manicures and the GelMoment experience.
All light gives off a certain amount of UV light, including the sun and every other body of light. It is important to limit that exposure. With this in mind it is important to know that traditional UV lights are considered to be absolutely safe. A 2013 independent study found "UV nail lamps exceeded safety expectations. These lamps were found to be significantly less hazardous than expected based on the initial concerns raised by others. The researchers found that UV exposure is so low that a person could put her hands under a nail lamp for 25 minutes a day without exceeding the internationally accepted safe limits for daily workplace UV exposure. The data showed that UV nail lamps were safer than both natural sunlight and sunlamps.
Regardless, a traditional gel manicure, goes through a three step process, which necessitates going through the traditional UV lamp three times, this can be up to ten minutes per nail. The beauty of the GelMoment experience is that there is only one coat for 60 seconds, so that this absolutely limits any exposure to any UV rays.
LED lamps also emit a certain amount of UV light. The greatest advantage they have over the traditional UV light is that the amount of time exposed to the light is cut down to a third. In addition the LED light has over 50 000 hours of use; enough for a lifetime.
GelMoment's LED lamps are guaranteed for life; therefore no replacement bulbs are required.
GelMoment's 60 second LED lamp is 6 Watts and 5 Volts. The Professional 4 finger 45 second lamp is 8 Watts and 12 Volts.
GelMoment remover pads are specially formulated to work with our Gel polish. Results may vary if using a different brand of remover.

ForumsTips & TricksGrocery Shopping
Grocery Shopping
I created a way to use ToodleDo as a checklist for grocery shopping. I have my folders set up as roles so I use the star feature for projects and sub-tasks for tasks. I created a project called Grocery Shopping and set up my shopping list as sub-tasks. I use the tag feature to designate the type (Dairy, Pet Supplies, Beverages, etc.) and the Notes feature to log historical info such as price paid and size purchased. You could also use tags to designate store names. I have the Context set to @Shopping.
The Groceries Project is set to repeat every two weeks and when I view the sub-tasks I can set a due date for each "item" on my list that I plan to purchase on the next shopping trip.
I'm still experimenting with filters to give me a printable list that I can take with me to the store (non-iphone user here!)
I also use this same set-up for prescription refills and household chores. Having the ability to use sub-tasks in this way makes ToodleDo an extremely useful tool!
This message was edited Jan 31, 2009.
I've tried a few times to set up shopping lists in ToodleDo and never really hit on a scheme that worked, so I just use the Notebook instead to keep a free-format list. This works better for me as my shopping lists are not really linear. For example, I may go to the store with a shopping list that has the ingredients for a bunch of recipes, but if there is no lamb there is no point buying the other six ingredients for the lamb recipe. So my shopping lists are broken down by groups, and not all groups get "serviced" if you like. Yes this does occasionally mean I have to revisit some aisles as I shop, but whatever, it's exercise, right? :-) I also quite often change my mind on what to get depending on what local produce is available, etc.
From the technical point of view, I found that groceries are unlike other lists in that when I make "project" type lists I really like having my completed items hang about so I can see my progress, whereas the last thing I want to see is a list of every grocery item I have every purchased. So the issue of what to do with completed items (show or hide) in a world where it is not a setting configurable by folder is a bit of a puzzler.
I guess in my mind, buying milk isn't a to-do - going to the grocery store is a to-do, and I can stick a note with what to do when I get there on that item.
But I can see why Alisa's scheme would work, especially for people who have regular buying patterns.

Hot looks in the emo subculture
The emo subculture offers some very unique fashion trends. But just like the culture itself, the look if highly individual. What one might consider a hot emo look, another might just disregard altogether.
So in essence, luck most things, it can be pretty subjective.
But, with that in mind, here are a few of what I feel are the coolest emo looks out there:

Panthers hold Missouri State to all-time low in MVC win
Anthony James scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Jake Koch added 11 points and Northern Iowa held Missouri State to 27 percent shooting en route to a 48-37 victory Tuesday night.
The Panthers (13-11, 6-6 Missouri Valley) shot just 40 percent as a team, but that was enough to beat the cold-shooting Bears (7-17, 5-7). UNI's Marc Sonnen, whose 48.3 percent 3-point shooting percentage ranked third in Division I entering the game, was just 1 of 6 from long range.
Anthony Downing led the Bears with nine points and seven rebounds. The 37 points were Missouri State's lowest ever in an MVC game.
Missouri State led 29-26 after Christian Kirk's jumper with 11:29 to play, but Northern Iowa came alive after that, outscoring the Bears 22-8 the rest of the way. Sonnen's 3-pointer with 2:35 left made it 43-33 and effectively sealed the win.

When it comes to porn stardom, not too many can top what the lovely Pinky has done. Pinky has made herself into a serious player in the adult film industry. With her signature pink hair and her very curvaceous body, Pinky has gone on to star in over 180 movies and countless more scenes on her personal website, www.pinkyxxx.com. Pinky has worked with many studios in the adult film world, such as Hustler, Anarchy, Black Ice, and Jules Jordan, just to name a few.
Pinky isn't just known for having a huge butt. She has been touted as giving one of the best blowjobs in the industry. Of course it all comes from tons of practice, which she fully admits in her movie Pinky's Dick Sucking For Dumb Asses. Pinky's mastery of her throat is equal to the control she has over the muscles in her butt -- she can "pop" a cheek at will and when she jumps up and down she doesn't just make it clap, she creates an all out round of applause! You'll also love watching her gush pussy juice in Pinky Squirts.

Sorry East Texas: Supreme Court Slams The Door On Patent Jurisdiction Shopping
from the no-more-bulls dept
Another Supreme Court case on patents, and another complete smackdown of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), the court that is supposed to be the "expert" on patent cases. This morning the ruling on the TC Heartland case came out, and it could help put an end to jurisdiction shopping for patent cases. As you've probably heard, for years now patent trolls and other aggressive patent litigants have been filing their cases in East Texas, as it's become a jurisdiction that is ridiculous friendly to patent holders. The towns of Marshall and Tyler, Texas have practically built up industries around the fact that they are "patent friendly" jurisdictions. In the past few years, a second favored jurisdiction has popped up: Delaware, after a few academic studies showed that the courts there may have been even more friendly than East Texas. The TC Heartland case was about a case filed in Delaware, and raised the issue of whether or not this kind of patent forum shopping was okay. CAFC, in its usual CAFC manner, said "sure, that's great, we love jurisdiction shopping and have since our 1990 ruling in VE Holding v. Johnson Gas. This was kind of ironic, as one of the key justifications given for setting up CAFC in the first place was to put an end to jurisdiction shopping in patent cases.
Either way, CAFC once again blessed the ability of patent holders to sue in plaintiff friendly locations, and the Supreme Court -- which has spent the past decade reteaching patent law to CAFC every chance it gets -- has done so again. Once again, the decision was unanimous, with the court voting 8 - 0 that trolls can't just file over and over again in East Texas (Gorsuch, having just joined the court after the case was heard, did not take part). The opinion, written by Justice Thomas, goes through the history of jurisdiction issues related to where one can bring lawsuits, noting that historically, where a company was incorporated was the proper jurisdiction.
While most of the ruling is deep in the weeds about definitions in the law, and whether or not Congress intended to change certain definitions, here's a simplified version of what happened: some have interpreted patent law to mean that a patent holder can sue an alleged infringer anywhere that a product is sold/available. In the age of the internet, this generally means "anywhere." Thus, as long as your product was available in Texas or Delaware, trolls could sue in those locations -- even if the company was nowhere near those locations. Here, however, the Court has said that the lawsuits are supposed to be filed where the company "resides," which it says is the state where the company is incorporated. This is a huge win for companies who are targeted by patent trolls. Rather than being dragged across the country to courts like East Texas or Delaware, which have built up large practices and reputations for supporting patent trolls over actual innovators, now cases will need to be filed where the alleged infringer is actually incorporated.
Expect to see the usual whining from patent trolls and their supporters about this -- but just remember: if they have a serious case of infringement, they should be fine filing it wherever the defendants actually are. Their concern is not about how this is somehow bad for patent owners. It's really about how certain courts were biased in their favor and they can no longer take advantage of that. Of course, this might mean that the ice rink in Marshall, Texas needs to find a new sponsor.

As it happens, we don't get out of town very often and our last trip to Blue Mountains (about 2 hours out of Sydney) was more than 7 (!) years ago. With my cousin and her family in town it was a great opportunity to show them around and do a little road trip ourselves as well. It was a stunning day with not a cloud in the sky, cicadas chirping so loud it made our ears ring. What a beautiful part of the world we live in!

WEST DES MOINES - Iowa piled its team onto five buses and trekked halfway across the state Sunday, giving its fans in the Des Moines area a sneak peek at the 2013 Hawkeyes.
The crowd at West Des Moines Valley High saw the same thing they'll likely see at the final spring practice in Iowa City in two weeks.
The Hawkeyes have three quarterbacks competing for the vacant starting job, but Jake Rudock, Cody Sokol and C.J. Beathard have yet to separate themselves.
"It's kind of hit or miss right now, and that's kind of where the whole offense is at this point. We're rotating them in, which is probably tough for them to get a little bit of rhythm going," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.
"All three of them are doing good things, and three of them still have things to work on. I think it's early to predict, and we're not going to. We'll let the guys continue to compete."
The Hawkeyes drew roughly 8,000 for an open practice nearly two hours from Iowa City, a move Ferentz said was to reward their fans from the western part of Iowa while giving the players a break from their spring routine.
Rudock, Sokol and Beathard each ran plays with the starting offense and the backups, and each had their share of strong throws and bad ones.
But if anyone has an edge so far, it's Rudock.
Rudock, who will be a redshirt sophomore next season, spent 2012 listed as the backup to James Vandenberg.
Even though Vandenberg wound up taking every snap for the 4-8 Hawkeyes, the time spent behind Vandenberg appears to have given Rudock a boost as spring ball winds down.
Rudock showed a strong and accurate arm during drills in windy conditions Sunday.
"Jake still has the best handle on things, for obvious reasons. But we'll just probably let it go throughout the whole spring," Ferentz said. "In fairness to all three of them, we just want to watch them all compete."
Sokol, one of just a few junior college players brought in by Iowa during the Ferentz era, also spent time working with the reserves in practice last fall.
Sokol appears to have the most mobility of the three quarterbacks vying for the No. 1 spot, though Iowa's offense has traditionally valued pocket passers.
Still, Sokol believes that all the changes for an offense with new running backs and receivers coaches has put him on equal footing.
"I would say (Rudock) has an advantage, but it's all new. It's a new offense," Sokol said. "Everyone is coming in fresh."
Beathard, a 6-foot-2 freshman from Franklin, Tenn., is perhaps best known as the grandson of longtime NFL general manager Bobby Beathard. He certainly didn't look out of place on Sunday, tossing more than a few nice passes when he got his chances.
Benching Beathard to give him more time to grow physically and learn the offense would seem to be the easiest way for the Hawkeyes to go.
But none of three quarterbacks trying to replace Vandenberg has thrown a pass in college, and Ferentz insists that each of them will have an equal shot at the starting job.
After finishing 4-8 in 2012, the Hawkeyes can't afford to keep their most talented players on the bench - no matter how young they are.
"Right now, nobody knows who is winning and who is not," wide receiver Jacob Hillyer. "We're going to wait and see I guess."

I'm trying to make a .sty template, but I cannot figure out how to define a dedicated background canvas for the "part page" frames.
Here (How to add background only to title frame and an other only to the last frame?) is a solution for when it is possible to characterize the background depending on the frame number, but it cannot be applied in my situation.
So is there a way to test the "type" of frame? (like "title page", "part page", ...). If yes, it means I can do the same as the solution to sandoche's problem. If not, can anybody think of a workaround?
