These wonderful photographs taken by Sarah Morden, of our gallery the"Band of Gypsies" was sent to me while I was in India, and I have to share them with you.
For those of you who've partaken of that cosmic space, and for those of you who have only heard of it, here are some fine memories of what transpired.
Parties, siesta's by the shop window, playing guitar by the doorstep, and hanging out with friends.

Games between teams from the United States and Mexico always seem to end up with some extracurricular activity, and Wednesday night's match between Houston and Puebla, which the Dynamo won 1-0, was no different.
"Overall, to come out on top of this group, I am pleased for the guys," said Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear. "It was a tough game, as [there were] some chances on both sides, and you saw two teams that were tired toward the end of the week."
As the ruckus between the two teams in the final 10 minutes of the game showed, the rivalry between the neighboring countries extends all the way down to club teams. But though they had their differences on the field, both sides were in agreement that the Guatemalan referee Oscar Reyna made some questionable calls.
Reyna issued eight yellow cards on the night and four red cards, with all four ejections coming in the second half.
"It was a little disappointing in that aspect of the game in the sense that I think it could have been controlled better," said Dynamo forward Brian Ching.
Perhaps the most questionable decision of the night was forward Dominic Oduro's sending off. During play, Oduro received a single yellow card for diving and then was shown a red card. The official match report, however, indicates that Oduro received a second yellow for dissent.
"I don't know what to say. I thought it was my first yellow card," noted Oduro. "I hope he checks it out. Hopefully we can talk to SuperLiga and they can fix it, as I want to play in the semifinals."
Regardless of the officiating, both teams created multiple quality chances in the second half that ended either with the ball deflecting off the woodwork or a quality save. Ultimately, though, Houston was able to convert on one of its second-half chances after a dry first half for both teams.
"Congratulate the winner," said Puebla head coach José Luis Sánchez Solá. "My respect is always for the rivals, and if they win, more respect. They beat us well, and we have to learn."
Oduro, who scored the lone goal on the night, wanted to make clear after the game that despite the pushing and shoving, all is forgotten.
"It is always competitive with teams from Mexico, and it's always a feisty game, so I don't think it was unexpected," noted Oduro. "It was a fun game, no hard feelings. I am glad we played well and we won. We are on top of the group, and that is what we wanted."

Penguins defenseman Kris Letang back on injured reserve
Simon Despres recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Kris Letang's comeback didn't last long.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed their star defenseman back on injured reserve with a lower body injury and recalled rookie Simon Despres from the AHL.
Letang returned from the IR on Tuesday night after missing three games due to the injury. He appeared in some discomfort following his first shift but played more than 24 minutes in a 1-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Despres, brought back up early Wednesday, has played well during his first season and his plus-10 plus/minus rating ranks in the top 10 among rookies.
Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury also sustained an undisclosed injury Tuesday after colliding with a pair of players in the second period. Fleury did not return for the third period and is being re-evaluated Wednesday.
Defenseman Robert Bortuzzo was also re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning assignment on Wednesday, although he'll still remain a member of the team's 23-man roster.

Hello everyone my name is Andre and I am new to blender community. I came across this awesome open source tool that Pixar uses internally for animated film production. I thought it would be cool if someone try to implement it into blenders pipeline. I am no hardcore programmer so I figure someone here would know how to implement it in blender.
What it does is it allows you to subdivide your polygons almost unlimited number of time and I believe it uses your gpu to subdivide.

Auto-Pruning: Really Gone for Good!
I suppose I should have mentioned this sooner, but I'd forgotten about it. In an earlier announcement, we mentioned that auto-pruning was extended in some forums so that threads would have a longer shelf-life before auto-deleting.
Recently, we've removed this restriction. Pruning is now totally in the hands of the moderation team - all pruning will be done manually. This means that you don't have to worry about putting a poll in a thread or "bumping" it to preserve it from the dark waters that threads can never return from. Although threads will still be removed after a reasonable amount of inactivity, quality threads will remain for future activity and reference.

Hey! Thought I would see how you are doing. Do your kids watch the wonder pets at all?

Hi! Felt like I could relate to you (similar high pressure jobs, two kids etc.), though I live in Chicago, not Boston. That said, emails are a thing of beauty! :-)

Latest News
The badger cull is finally at an end, but there is no word from the government of how "effective" or otherwise the cull was, how many badgers were killed in total, and how humane - or otherwise - it was. The cull strayed into Shropshire despite there not being a cull licence for the county; areas of Shropshire bordering on the Staffordshire zone were nevertheless affected.
In Wiltshire, news has emerged that as a result of the large numbers of badgers killed, fox numbers have soared, leading to a call by Natural England for large numbers of foxes to be shot. This is yet to be confirmed, but if true, where will it end?
During the cull in Shropshire, Wounded Badger Patrol made its presence felt every night, no doubt saving many lives. This year was the first in which Shropshire was affected, but badger protectors mobilised and the experience gained will be invaluable in future years if the government's policies of slaughter continue.
The Staffordshire/Shropshire cull took place on land stretching from Grindley Brook and Norton-in-Hales to Newport and Weston Park. The A41 created a "natural boundary".
Tris Pearce, director and trustee at Shropshire Badger Group, said the area affected in Shropshire formed about 18-20% of the Staffordshire zone.
At the start of culling, Pearce said: "We anticipate that around 600-800 badgers will be killed in Shropshire at a cost of around £1 million. Bear in mind this money is being spent when we have a desperate situation with the NHS, particularly here in Shropshire. For them to go and spend this money killing badgers is just wrong on every level. There is no one that can really stand up and say this is a just way to do things."
He added: "From the end of August, it has been possible to cage trap a badger, and this can continue until the end of November. It will be possible to shoot badgers until January 31. People really need to know this. A big chunk of the county is involved in this practice. And it seems to me that people do not know that this is going on."
Campaigners say the new licences, which added 11 areas to the national cull, could see over 40,000 badgers killed by the end of 2018, more than during the last five years of the badger cull combined.
A fall in TB cases in two areas was cited as a sign of progress in the fight to eradicate it.
The farming minister, George Eustice, claimed the cull was starting to show results in Gloucestershire and Somerset, with a fall in the incidence of TB. But he did not explain why there was a rise in Dorset.
But Eustice's claim that the government's strategy was working was refuted by a group of leading vets and animal welfare experts, who have shared data that, they say, shows the cull has made no difference. The group, which includes Iain McGill, the former government vet who helped to expose the BSE cover-up, Adam Grogan, head of wildlife at the RSPCA, and Dr Mark Jones, head of policy at the Born Free Foundation, disagree that the strategy is working.
In a letter published in the Observer on 21 October and on the Network For Animals website, they are among 15 signatories who claim that "when ministerial statements are used as justification for the slaughter of badgers on an industrial scale ... it is vital that they ... reflect the best available veterinary and scientific advice".
Their letter states: "Examination of that data ... demonstrates no reduction in the prevalence of bTB (bovine TB) infected herds in Gloucestershire or Somerset as a result of culling."
It continues: "The prevalence in cattle is no lower than it was before culling, despite the killing and removal of 1,879 badgers in Gloucestershire and 1,777 in Somerset. A total of 3,656 badgers have been killed with no perceivable disease-control benefits."
In Gloucestershire the prevalence of the disease fell to 6.9% in the three years running up to the cull before plateauing at 7.1% after four years of culling. In Somerset it fell successively for the three years up to the cull to 6.1%, before rising to 7.2% after four years of culling.
"There are approximately the same proportion of bTB affected herds now as there were before culling started," the signatories claim. "Badger culling has not resulted in a decrease in bTB in cattle in cull zones ... Any statement made to the contrary is untrue."
The Zoological Society of London claims there is "no robust evidence that England's policy of mass culling" is reducing TB in cattle. The signatories call on Eustice to withdraw his statement. "When proven harm is committed to animals on a very large scale, accompanied by documented animal abuse and ... unaccompanied by any disease control benefits, the only option for any responsible government is to abandon the policy immediately," they write.

What a fabulous morning run! The snow, thick and wet and abundant. The forest; quiet of people and dogs. Only the sound of falling snow..and grouse..and the snort of a few deer..
I didn't wake up until 7AM! I don't know when the last time I slept in so late was, many months ago. Steve left the house at 5 to ice fish so I had the bed to myself and was able to snooze. Lovely.
When Troy and I came downstairs at 715 it was pouring rain outside, 36F. I couldn't believe it. It would be a warm wet run. Warm wet snowshoe? I wasn't sure. I put the snowshoes in the car just in case.
By the time we reached the trail head the rain had turned to snow and was coming down quickly. Big, wet, fat flakes. I couldn't see where the road/shoulder was. Crazy how quickly it changed.
The trail was lovely. Beautiful and magical; all white. No people. Just Topaz and I. I put my snowshoes on and off we went to make the first tracks. Just like a child; I loved to be the first to make the tracks..I still do! Well, second-Topaz always beats me.
We ran through the woods, the snow falling so heavily and steady that I couldn't see Topaz at times. It was so beautiful. The trees were becoming heavy with snow and creaking under the weight.
As I ran past a bunch of small oak trees 4 grouse began to beat their wings and create their vacuum. They startled me with their noisy drumming! I guess we startled them first.
I ran with a smile on my face and couldn't stop exclaiming "Topaz! This is wonderful..this is magnificent..I love this!"
I am so thankful that I began to run. I used to hate snowy days. I didn't want to drive anywhere for fear of bad driving conditions; I would sit on the couch..eating..and wasting the day away. So sad. I was so happy to be out in the snow, in the woods, happily running along the trail! What a treat.
Last year I had to remove my snowshoes at the river in order to jump over and scramble up the sides. Not this year; the bridges are in place. It takes the adventure out of the crossing but that's OK!
Not even a skier out on the trail today. As we were finishing up I wondered if I could get Steve to go cross country skiing with me later in the afternoon?
Not so! By the time I had returned home the rain was coming down hard-and melting the snow we had received. Bummer. It is snowing again now, this evening but is supposed to be in the single digits for the highs all week.
Here it is already mid December. I am beginning to write down my 2008 goals reached and I am thinking about the goals I want to reach in 2009. I'll put them to blog soon.
What are your goals for 2009? Did you nail your 2008 goals? YOU CAN REACH YOUR GOALS!! (You first have to set them) 'Tis the Season!

Julie...I would love 36 degress right now! Jealous that you are out enjoying the outdoors with Topaz. Its minus 25 degrees right now here. We've had subzero temps for three days now and its supposed to continue for a few more. Yuk! Its just too cold to go out for a run with the dogs in this weather. Makes you really appreciate it when the temp goes up to 15 or 20 and you can enjoy running outside.
....sulking in to say I spent the day mostly on the couch and catching up on laundry... my bad, I know, BUT you did get me thinking about my 2009 goals!

Evidence-Based Pregnancy Prevention Finds a Foothold in Augusta
Daniela Whitaker was uncertain when FYSB-grantee Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential (GCAPP) offered a Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) subgrant to her organization, Kids ReStart. On the one hand, the small community program could certainly use the resources provided from the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). But Whitaker, the organization's executive director, figured her board would blanch when they realized none of the required evidence-based programming options were abstinence-only, as Kids Restart had been prior to 2010.
Luckily, she knew of a needs assessment that had recently been performed on surrounding Richmond County. Through a wide-ranging survey of local business, education and political leaders, as well as teens and parents, researchers concluded that conflicting messages and a strict "just say no" policy hadn't worked for preventing teen pregnancies. "They found that teens started to have sex around age 13, but parents only told their kids, 'don't do it,'" says Whitaker.
Armed with those statistics and the evidence for the effectiveness of her preferred PREP curriculum, Making Proud Choices, Whitaker approached her board and found them surprisingly enthusiastic about the new track.
"Parents and adults often see a need but don't want to speak out first," Whitaker says. "But when you see the numbers, you have that ammunition. The board might have still been behind it, but [the evidence] definitely helped pave the way." This shift has been widespread in the state: Five years ago there were no agencies using evidence-based practices for adolescent pregnancy prevention in Georgia, but now there are over 140 such agencies, reaching nearly 30,000 young people.
Kids ReStart is expanding beyond simply telling kids how to avoid pregnancy. The Making Proud Choices curriculum includes lessons and guidelines about avoiding sexually transmitted infections, resisting peer pressure, and living a healthy life in general.
"We're trying to move away from pregnancy prevention as one set-apart thing, a taboo subject," she says, "and get to where it's intertwined with the rest of young people's education and experience." Relying on hard evidence, an approach FYSB emphasizes with all grant recipients, has brought her closer than ever.

21 must-read health, fitness and nutrition books
Getty Premium images
Listen, we get it. Many books you find in the "health" section of the book shop can be a little dry, even boring. They read more like textbooks than page-turning thrillers.
But some health books are well worth your time —delivering knowledge that can help you build muscle, burn fat, improve your health, or just question what you "think" you know about wellness. To save you the work of finding these diamonds in the literary rough, we and our eHow UK advisors read through shelves of books to determine which were the most helpful. Some are classics, some are controversial, and others you probably have never heard of. But all of these 21 books offer insight that can help you live better.
Sugar Nation
Is there an underlying cause of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's and obesity that can be connected to a misguided food industry? In Sugar Nation, author Jeff O'Connell, a man who could only be described as skinny and healthy, documents his own diagnosis of diabetes, and uncovers what happens to your body under the toxic burden of the standard diet. Filled with information from researchers and studies, in-depth interviews and writing that will keep you engaged throughout, Sugar Nation is a must-read for anyone who thinks that being "healthy" will keep them safe from disease.
Sugar Nation
Good Calories, Bad Calories
The argument that eating fat is a good thing reached the mainstream after this book by science writer Gary Taubes hit the shelves. Although science began showing the benefits of consuming fats years before, Taubes showed how a diet filled with refined carbohydrates was the real cause of many health issues —and how fat, despite being vilified, is a necessary part of your diet. While many of Taubes assertions are still controversial, his eye-opening book is a must-read for anyone who's ever concerned themselves with food.

Starting Strength
What's one of the biggest problems with going to the gym? You perform exercises incorrectly and follow workouts that aren't designed for real (non-steroid fueled) people. Starting Strength is the ultimate guide to teaching you how to successfully learn how to train with barbells. The highlights include easy-to-understand directions that will help you master essential moves like the squat, overhead press, deadlift, bench press and other multi-muscle exercises. Whether you're a man or a woman, an expert or a beginner, this book is an outstanding resource that teaches the fundamentals.

If you've ever wanted to become a workout expert capable of designing your own training program, this is your book. Based on data gathered from more than 1,000 Eastern European and world-class athletes (and more than 30 case studies), authors Vladimir Zatsiorsky and William Kraemer focus on how you can build a training approach that improves your performance on any playing field —and build strength and muscle in the process. The book is more conceptual in nature than some others, and takes an educational approach to helping you understand the science behind why exercise programs are built the way they are —and why a good program is much more than just combining your favorite exercises.

The most interesting sections tap into his thoughts on sports psychology and teach motivational techniques to become better. A surefire favourite for anyone who has an appreciation for bodybuilding.

Strength Training Anatomy
This book is as much a joy for its more than 600 full-colour illustrations as it is for its written content. Few books have the ability to help you understand how each exercise works as this deeply anatomical dissection of the science of weight training. Training geeks will love the science, while beginners will appreciate understanding where they should "feel" each exercise.

The 4-Hour Body
What lengths would you go to find out how to "hack" the human body? That's exactly what author Tim Ferriss set out to do in his best-selling book The 4-Hour Body. Controversial and hotly debated, Ferriss turned his body into a first-person science experiment and shared what he discovered about how to lose weight, eat dessert without gaining fat, last longer during sex, sleep less, and pack on superhuman amounts of muscle. At the very least, it's an entertaining read and a reminder that we're still uncovering new mysteries of the human body.

A Guide to Flexible Dieting
There's a reason so few people enjoy diets —they're often a little too intense and restrictive. While these extreme approaches can help people lose weight in the short run, they're not sustainable —and are often the reason so many people struggle with their eating behaviours. A Guide to Flexible Dieting addresses the common mistakes of extreme diets, and shows how to take a more realistic, stress-free approach for developing an eating plan that works for you.

From helping you become more efficient, to finally answering whether sex will negatively affect you the night before a competition, this book leaves no stone unturned. "In my mind this is a truly important read for anyone serious about fitness, and an absolute must buy for anyone involved in training others," says Freedhoff.

|Pictured above are my friends Laura and Stacey (sisters). Laura was my painting-partner-in-crime, and Stacey
(owner of Poochie Prints) was my paper pimp -- hooking me up with the evite, price tags, and a welcome card. She even came through with white circle stickers after I checked every drugstore in a 5-mile radius.
|Welcome card designed by Stacey at Poochie Prints. Thanks Stace!
|I got a little crazy with the sassed up mason jars, but they are just so A-mason-ing (amazing, lol!). Also loved
how the painted cheese dome cloches came out. I knew my cheese dome collection would come in handy!
|There was so much great stuff in this boyish corner. The vintage rackets, the black drawers, the vintage car and the succulents all sold. This green kids chair that I painted did not sell, and I'm so happy because I really wanted to keep it :) I'm loving green right now. I have three other kids chairs waiting to be painted. I think I am going to do something like this.
|My friend Becky purchased this handpainted driftwood "Lucky" sign with the horseshoe. She's superstisious and plans to hang it above her entry door. Any my other friend bought the upcycled candy jar. It looked a lot like this one did before I painted it. She is going to give it as a gift to someone (who may be a reader of this blog) so I won't mention her name ;)
|Lots of fun stuff over on this table -- Poochie Prints stationery sets, vintage lanterns, an old scale, and lots of bowls and knick knacks.
|How great are those old movie reels!!! They would be so great as decoration in a tv or movie room like they did in this Ballard Design photo. They're also perfect decoration for an outdoor movie night -- ya know, like this amazing one from bash please.
|Chairs were a HOT item. Our cousin Maggie is the proud new owner of those awesome orange nailhead club chairs. My friend and co-worker Kristin bought all three of the painted wooden chairs and is going to do an awesome mix of chairs around her kitchen table. And my friends Linds and Nick are probably going to buy the black leather chair (wink wink). It's a steal considering it kinda resembles this $700 one from Ballard Design. Stretching it? Ok fine. But it does look exactly like this $122 one from Brookstone.
|Fall decorations weren't too popular, but I did sell the owls, the vintage scale and the succulent in the brown teapot. And no, I'm not ashamed to eat the candy corn out of the vases that didn't sell.

One of my favorite museums is the Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts. There is a new exhibit beginning today, called, "The Shot Heard Around the World: April 19, 1775." I took the two photos last fall and planned on posting them today, an anniversary day of April 18, 1775.
From the Concord Museum's web page is the following:
"Late in the evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere got word that the British were about to set out on a raid of the Provincial Congress' military supplies stockpiled in Concord. He ordered fellow Patriots to set two lighted lanterns in the
belfry of Boston's Christ Church (Old North Church). This prearranged signal was intended for the Patriot leaders across the Charles River in Charlestown and indicated the route of the British march. Since 1853, this lantern has been identified as one of the lanterns hung as a signal in the church belfry. The collector, Cummings Davis (1816-1896) acquired this lantern around 1853 with the history that it was "bought in 1782 by Captain Daniel Brown, of Concord,
from the sexton of Christ Church in Boston, and affirmed by the said sexton at the time to have been one of the two lanterns flashed from the belfry of that church by order of Paul Revere on the evening of April 18, 1775."

What to expect when cycling here
We asked Tommy's Bicycle Shop owner Patrick Vala-Haynes to share his thoughts on what you expect when road cycling in the Yamhill Valley.
Heart-thumping climbs, narrow roads, glaring sun, icy rain, and a headwind that defies the compass. Three flat tires in the first hour, a thrown chain and a dead crow. Ah, spring riding in Oregon. If you're not having fun by now, you should give up cycling and take up anger. Some people have suggested the aerobic benefits are similar.
Or you could come ride the roads of Yamhill Valley on a soft summer evening. You might get a little wind and a bright sun, your heart might end up in your ears, but the choice will have been yours.
Some of our roads are quite narrow, but you will also find our best rides have very little traffic. Our roads aren't always the smoothest, but you'll be better off focusing on the four deer crossing in front of you. Notice how they expect you to wait.
If you ride late in the season, you can gorge on blackberries growing wild along the roads. Actually, all you have to do is breath on a warm day and you'll think you had a great meal. Spectacular terrain—whether you want vineyards, wetlands, or a climb that reminds you that breathing is not to be taken for granted—is available north, south, east and west.
If you are using McMinnville as your base, you can find 11 suggested ride routes at www.tommysbicycle.net, varying in distance from 7.5 to 69 miles. Two excellent rides, the Youngberg Hill (13.6 miles) and Muddy Valley (26.1 miles) loops, will take you through farms and grassland on country roads. Slight variations will bring you to wineries and steep climbs through vineyards. While a few of the listed rides include heavily traveled highways, they are used sparingly and then only to connect to quieter roads.
Bring your bicycle and a friend. Ride. Bring your appetite. Bring your thirst. Feed and quench. Repeat.
- Patrick Vala-Haynes

I made code so that I can copy a smaller picture into a bigger picture which is working but I need to add code to make it flip 180 degrees and I do not know how to go about that.
This is my code so far it picks up every pixel in the picture.
public void copyInto(int xWhere, int yWhere, Picture flower) { for(int x = 0; x < flower.getWidth(); x++) { for(int y = 0; y < flower.getHeight(); y++) { int red; int green; int blue; red = flower.getPixel(x,y).getRed(); green = flower.getPixel(x,y).getGreen(); blue = flower.getPixel(x,y).getBlue(); this.getPixel(xWhere + x, yWhere + y).setColor(new Color(red, green, blue) ); } } }

It's with utter astonishment that on the heels of readergirlz picking up the National Book Award for Innovations in Reading, my editor emailed me twice...
Once, to let me know that NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL was named to the 2010 Texas Lone Star Reading List.
And then again, to tell me that Kirkus named it one of the Best Books of 2009. I encourage everyone who loves a good read to check out the list for fabulous titles, including Malinda Lo's ASH, Laurie Halse Anderson's WINTERGIRLS, Tanita Davis's MARE'S WAR, Kathleen Duey's SACRED SCARS, David Gill's SOUL ENCHILADA, KL Going's KING OF THE SCREW UPS, and Sara Zarr's ONCE WAS LOST.
Thank you ALL for your support.

Summer Vacation...Really
So...ummm...here are pictures from my summer vacation. Which I discovered on my camera when I began the annual scouring for a good Xmas card photo.
I'm telling myself that this summertime photo stash--so recently discovered--is the hidden benefit of procrastination. See. I've been a wee bit stressed and busy lately. And these photos were a mini-vacation for my frazzled psyche. A reminder of a slower time in the Hudson Valley. Where have I been all this time never to have visited the Hudson Valley?
Meet my best friend, Si, from second grade.That's right. Second grade. We spent a few days together, talking non-stop. Her poor husband. Even after 3 days together, we kicked him out of his own sunroom because we still had some catching up to do. And then...she pulled out the yearbooks from hell. Middle school. Some memories are best left collecting dust.
Si is a Major Foodie. You could not imagine the meals she fixed for me, my kiddos, and my mother-in-law. She took us to the CIA--the Culinary Institute of America--and to tell you the truth, I'd eat whatever Si prepares over any restaurant any day.
To good friends who nourish us with conversation, the food of the soul.

Various branded and unbranded designer radiators in various finishes and styles.
Todays designer radiator is a thing of beauty as well as a device to warm up your home. Here are some tips on choosing the best designer radiator for your home.
The first thing to consider is the existing decor of your home and how your new designer radiators will fit in terms of space and colour. Beauty depends on harmony so you'll need to find designer radiators that fit. You have to consider such matters as colour and the contours and space of your rooms. Fortunately with designer radiators, you have infinite choice of style and colour.
Then there's the matter of placement. If it's a first time installation, survey your home for optimum placement. Follow the standard guidelines for central heating installation. Heating engineers recommend that the optimum location for a designer radiator is in the coldest part of the room. Plus it should be installed on the external wall beneath the window. This warms up the cold air coming in. If you have an existing central heating system, you should try to maximise the use of existing pipe work. This avoids the expense and disruption of installing new pipes.
The next thing to consider is the material your new designer radiators are made of. Some options are stainless steel and aluminium. Both are extremely efficient heat conductors and both have very attractive finishes. However there are some differences. Aluminium is a super conductor. This makes it extremely responsive to your control. Your house warms up quickly when you turn on your central heating. It also cools down just as quickly when you turn it off. Stainless steel radiators retain heat a little longer. Both materials are easy to clean, you just need to wipe them down with warm water and detergent a few times a year.
However, the responsiveness of aluminium radiators combined with their low water content translates into excellent cost efficiency which means lower bills for you. What's more, aluminium radiators are very light and easy to install. This often means lower installation fees. Ultimately, the choice of material is yours. Each has its own benefits, but aluminium wins out for its blend of function, beauty and economy.
If you've decided to enhance the beauty and value of your home by adding or replacing designer radiators, it's time to look at some designs online. Browsing our online designer radiator makes the whole process easy and convenient. Choose some designs and colours that you feel will suit your home. Then call us to discuss such practicalities as availability, pricing and delivery times and procedures. Then, get ready to transform your home in something special a snug abode thats also the height of style. And its all done with the addition of designer radiators.

Compare cheap flights to Honolulu
When is the cheapest time to fly to Honolulu?
What to do in Honolulu
Honolulu is Hawaii's capital city and also the main gateway to the rest of the state. It's a major tourist destination for both local and international travellers. Located in the island of Oahu, the city is filled with natural wonders, rich culture, and great food. You'll find it easy to love this lovely island.
Honolulu is popular worldwide for its beautiful beaches. Make your way to Waikiki Beach for some fun under the sun. You can get a nice tan, drink or dine by the beach, or just swim around. The large crescent-shaped beach is also a dream for surfies, and has numerous hotels, restaurants, and stores along the oceanfront too.
Do you want to check out the best beaches in Honolulu? You should visit Ala Moana Park, Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, and the scenic Makapu'u Beach. If you plan your trip around September to November, you can even catch pro surfers perform exhibitions at Oahu Beach. Sometimes they even give basic surfing lessons!
Want to spend a few dollars on souvenirs? Try Waikiki's chic open-air beach markets. Shop till you drop in Ala Moana Center, the world's biggest open-air shopping center. For a more intimate shopping, go to Luxury Row for high-end items. And on the other side of the budget scale, Waikele Premium Outlets will give you a friendlier shopping experience.
Know more about Honolulu's way of life and join the city's biggest events. There's the premier cultural event of Hawaii, the annual Honolulu Festival. September is when Waikiki Hoolaelea is celebrated. This is Hawaii's biggest block party, where people take to the streets for food, fun, and entertainment.
When to visit Honolulu
The best time to visit Honolulu is around September to November when airline prices and hotel rates are cheaper, and the weather is mild. But there's a greater chance of rain, so pack your raincoat, galoshes, and brolly just in case. If you want to get the most righteous waves or go whale watching, visit during December to April.
Australians can fly to the US and visit Hawaii for up to 90 days with the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP). But before your trip, you must obtain a valid authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Your passport must also be valid for at least six months from the date you enter the US.
Travelling to and around Honolulu
Once you land in Honolulu International Airport, you can reach the city by shuttle service, bus, or taxi. Then start wandering Honolulu by taxi, bus, or by booking a tour.

Sins of a Solar Empire (PC) review
"Its not uncommon for a game to end with hundreds of ships on screen at once, engaged in constant combat while each player struggles for dominance. Frankly, the hours youve invested in this game only help to heighten the emotions brought about from this final conflicts outcome. The disappointment can be overwhelming; that you could come this far and fail at the last second doesnt seem possible. On the other hand, the sense of satisfaction gained from a narrow victory is one of the most gratifying Ive yet to experience in a game. Either way, its an epic fight."

Outsourcing of Trucking Activities by Relief Organisations
On January 1, 2004 · Leave a Comment · In Heidi-Rebecca Cottam, Jonathan Challacombe, Michael Roe

This paper analyses the role of outsourcing of trucks in the famine in Ethiopia in 2000. Using a Delphi approach, it takes the opinion of experts in humanitarian aid logistics to assess the potential benefits of outsourcing of the main mode of transport used in developing countries for distributing aid. A detailed review of the literature in outsourcing of trucking and its application to humanitarian aid forms the basis for a series of statements that are presented to the expert panel through the Delphi process. Conclusions are reached that indicate that outsourcing does have major benefits but also some drawbacks that need to be carefully accommodated.

Jumping through hoops with the JumpViewer
Windows 8^HDeveloper Preview is out, yay !
And with it, comes a whole lot of new toys to play with : Visual Studio 11, Blend 5, but most important : the Metro Ui goodness is also available for desktop developers to play with !
And along with new shiny Ui's come new paradigms, new API's, and new User controls.
The one we're going to have a look today is the JumpViewer : a new control that works a little bit like a Master-Detail view, only there is only one view shown at once, and the user can Switch back and forth by tapping master items and "zoom-pinching out" the detail view.
Okay, enough for the concept, after all, there is a whole lot of videos around from the latest Build conference : What we are interested in is how we will actually code an app that uses our new toy.
The usual way to go is to take microsoft's examples, look how they've done it, mimic, copy, paste, adapt, smile, and voilà : you know everything about your new friend.
Only this time, I wasn't exactly thrilled by the way Microsoft had set up their example :
For those who don't know the JumpViewer : there are two views : one called JumpView, the other ContentView.
In microsoft's example, which you can find here, the ContentView's ItemsSource was bound to a CollectionViewSource, using a regular data binding, but the JumpView's – the master, if you will – was simply not even set. A little bit of investigation will show that the ItemSource property is set in the codebehind, and in my book, that spells code smell.
So, from there, how would we make it MVVM friendly ?
My first attempt was to try to use the exact same binding on the JumpView. It required creating a Template for the Group items, and collapse the Items themselves. Unfortunately, it seems the internals of the JumpViewer control bases its navigation between the two views on the collectionView's CollectionGroups. To make it simple : the item clicked in the JumpView must be the group of the ContentView, in order to navigate to it.
Therefore, using the same binding for both views would not expose such hierarchy, and even though the visual result would be OK, the navigation would not work.
The second attempt was to edit the binding to provide an additional Path in the JumpView's binding in order to try an reach the CollectionGroups, but for some reason, the CollectionGroups was never reached. Adding a converter to allow us to set a breakpoint in the middle of the binding was also a failure : The breakpoint was never hit, meaning that the binding could not reach the CollectionGroups.
Reverting to the same binding as in the ContentView with the DebuggerConverter still applied to the binding would show that the passed value, the CollectionViewSource, was a Windows Runtime object. In other words : a COM object. I can only guess that the CollectionGroups was lost in the marshalling of the system object.
The third and last approach was to use a ValueConverter for the JumpView's binding : since the CollectionGroups property was not reachable through a binding, but was reachable, after an explicit cast in C#, it was then a no-brainer : we could use a ValueConverter to join the dots and return the CollectionGroups property that was not accessible with a plain binding. The converter would then look like this:
publicclassGroupedCollectionToGroupsCollectionConverter : IValueConverter
publicobject Convert(object value, string typeName, object parameter, string language)
return ((ICollectionView)(value)).CollectionGroups;
publicobject ConvertBack(object value, string typeName, object parameter, string language)

The Obama Administration's federal labor department says the plan to overhaul North Carolina's unemployment insurance system would kick 170,000 jobless off of benefits this summer, and have the state's economy miss out on $780 million in federal funds.
Previous estimates put the number of those immediately affected at 80,000.
Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Seth Harris released a statement late Monday saying that the federal agency doesn't have the power to stop the Rebublican-led N.C. General Assembly from moving forward with the plan, but cautioned that families stand to be hurt by it.
The N.C. Senate is ready to move this week on House Bill 4, which proposes to pay off debt the state took on during the height of the Recession by reducing the amount of unemployment benefits workers receive and raising the amount employers pay. Critics of the plan, including the N.C. Justice Center, say the reform unfairly puts the burden on the backs of workers, while businesses that enjoyed years of tax cuts that led to the crisis in the system will walk away bearing a fraction of the cost of righting the system.
Here's the full text of Harris' statement:
The North Carolina legislature is considering legislation that would reduce state Unemployment Insurance benefits. If enacted, the legislation also would cut off all federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation — that is, benefits after 26 weeks of unemployment — to 170,000 unemployed North Carolinians. This cutoff is automatic under federal law. I have no discretion to stop it. As a result, families struggling to secure their place in the middle class will suffer a grievous blow, and the state's economy will lose $780 million in federal funds that are vital to reducing North Carolina's high unemployment rate.
We know that for every dollar spent on Unemployment Insurance benefits, nearly two dollars are generated in the local economy. Unemployed workers and their families spend these benefits in local grocery stores and small businesses, and use them to stay current on mortgage or rent payments and utilities. For these reasons, UI programs are vital to economic growth in difficult times, particularly in states like North Carolina with high unemployment rates.

Shane McBride grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida where he developed his cooking skills out of necessity. Though she tried, his mom's attempts in the kitchen were often unsuccessful and Shane would step in to save the meal. At age 18, he secured his first job in a professional kitchen at Narcissus in West Palm Beach, where he worked his way up from garde marger to sous chef.
His first mentor, chef Todd Jent, helped instill Shane's career-long desire to constantly strive higher and seek out new challenges. This drive, along with knowledge of classic French cooking techniques and a love of simple, straightforward flavors, led McBride into a roster of the most prestigious restaurant kitchens in the country, including Aureole with Chef Charlie Palmer, Lespinasse with Chef Christian Delouvrier and Craftsteak with chef/owner Tom Colicchio.
In 1995, Shane joined chef Hubert Demarias kitchen at The Restaurant and The Bistro in West Palm Beach Four Seasons Resort before enrolling in the Culinary Institute of America, where he graduated on the Dean's List in 1998. His externship took him to New Orleans Windsor Court Hotel the only five-diamond, five-star property in Louisiana where he learned from chef Jeff Tunks.
One of his first positions in New York was at Aureole, where he worked as a line cook for two years under chef Charlie Palmer. Shane then entered the service of chef Christian Delouvrier as the executive sous chef at world-renowned Lespinasse. While there, he met the restaurant's director, Jean-Philippe Leloup, with whom he would later open Oceo.
Oceo was Shane's first experience as executive chef, and the position helped him to develop his personal style of management. After three years, the owners closed the restaurant and Shane was able to turn in a new direction when Oceo re-opened as 7SQUARE, a traditional American chophouse. After sixteen years in French kitchens, Shane was happy to focus on simple American dishes that highlighted the true flavors of the ingredients.
He continued this focus at Craftsteak, bringing his knowledge of traditional techniques and skill with seasonal ingredients to his position as chef de cuisine. While working for Tom Colicchio, Shane helped to open Craftsteak at the MGM at Foxwoods. And also developed the Halfsteak at Craftsteak, a budget minded mini restaurant in Craftsteaks' bar. In a surprise move Colicchio closed Craftsteak and reopened it as Colicchio & Sons in which Shane was instrumental in gaining the restaurant three stars from The New York Times.
For his next move, Shane joined Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson at Balthazar, where he was the Executive Chef for 8 years.
In his free time, Shane, a self-admitted barbecue addict has assembled some like-minded chef friends of his and started the Ribdiculous Bar-B-Krewe a NYC based competition BBQ team. The Krewe competes at Memphis in May every year and has won first place in the hot wing competition. You can also see Ribdiculous on Destination Americas "BBQ PITMASTERS." That led to the launch of Pig Beach and Pig Bleecker.

World IPv6 Day
June 8th 2011 is IPv6 Day.
To check your IPv6 connectivity / compatibility, visit
http://omgipv6day.com/ for a quick test and
http://test-ipv6.com/ for a more detailed test.
[edit 2010-04-24] They've changed their tests in the last few months, so on the second link, people with IPv4-only connections should get 10/10(ipv4 part) and 0/10(ipv6 part) now. Before, for fully functional IPv4-only connections, it was reading 7/10 for ipv4 which was misleading.
Because of some lingering issues with IPv6 implementations (particularly in older OSes), some major companies including Google, Facebook, and Yahoo! are going to enable IPv6 on their main website domain for one day. It will probably lose them some visitors and money, but it's needed as a wake-up call.
List of Participants
For the technically inclined, what will happen is that participating companies will be adding AAAA records for their primary websites. Right now most companies have separate subdomains which have v6 addresses (for instance, ipv6.google.com, www.ipv6.cisco.com, etc.).

So, if your browser tests bad for IPv6 connectivity, what can you do about it?

Edit: they've changed the tests, now you should get 10/10 for ipv4 if your setup is fully functional. [it used to report 7/10]
The important thing for people who don't have IPv6 is to make sure that the third box down is a green check, and it should say
Unfortunately, Bud, there's not much you can do. For IPv6 access, you need one of these two options:
1 a) IPv6 support from your ISP, AND
1 b) IPv6 support from your (wireless) router, if you have one
2 a) set up an IPv6 tunnel with sixxs or hurricane electric, or using Teredo. That's rather difficult to do for the average internet user, and your (wireless) gateway may not be compatible with them anyway.
Option 1 in the U.S. is limited to very lucky people who get internet access from forward-looking ISPs, and option 2 is limited to techies or people who have someone they can turn to to walk them through the process.

I work with IP addresses at work and this is going to be a huge PITA, even though it is needed.
I don't carry a gun to go looking for trouble, I carry a gun in case trouble finds me.

The show will be the first of three readings under the umbrella of York, but will not be presented at the York's home at the Theater at Saint Peter's on the Upper East Side. The John Rando-directed reading presentations at 2 and 7 PM will be at The Griffin Theatre in The Pershing Square Signature Center on West 42nd Street.
Featuring music and lyrics by three-time Grammy winner Bruce Hornsby, Stranger has lyrics by Chip deMatteo and a book by Clay McLeod Chapman.
Musical staging is by Tony winner Scott Wise (Jerome Robbins' Broadway). Musical direction is by Kimberly Grigsby (Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark). Director Rando won the Direction Tony Award for Urinetown.
The reading cast features Terence Archie (Ragtime), Eugene Barry-Hill (The Magdalene), Lisa Brescia (The Times They Are-a-Changin'), Ken Cavett (Taking Pictures), John Ellison Conlee (The Constant Wife), Riley Costello (Everyday Rapture), Rosa Curry (The Rocky Horror Show), Charles Franklin, Ron Holgate (1776, Kiss Me, Kate), Rachel Bay Jones (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), Garrett Long (Bonnie and Clyde) and Karl Warden (La Cage aux Follies).
In Stranger, Jim Reynolds (John Ellison Conlee) is a hometown hero — the high school football star who married his high school sweetheart (Lisa Brescia), went to medical school and returned to his small town in southern Virginia to become a doctor and raise his family. But he is haunted by the death of his younger brother when they were teens. Jim's teenage son aches to escape the town and his father's shadow. "A stranger appears, driving slowly through town day after day, leaving a growing sense of anxiety in his wake," according to production notes. "Soon the rumors start as the town speculates about the stranger in their midst. Fear and paranoia continue to grow until a child goes missing and the town, lead by Jim, mounts a manhunt for the stranger in the car. Jim finally confronts the stranger, and his own demons."
The music draws from a variety of influences including pop, bluegrass, modern classical and jazz.
The commercial producers of Stranger are in discussions about a regional production prior to a New York City bow in 2013. When it was called SCKBSTD (a reference to a vanity license plate suggesting "sick bastard"), the show had a 2011 world-premiere developmental production by Virginia Stage Company, in Norfolk, VA.

York Theatre Company's March Developmental Reading Series also includes:
March 21 at 3 PM
Guess Who's Coming to Seder?: A Delicious New Musical
Book, music and lyrics by Randi Michaels Block
Music direction by Bryan L. Wade
Directed by Ted Swindley
"What do you get when you mix nine neurotic people from seven different religions with twenty bottles of wine, some matzo, Gefilte fish and a few Passover prayers that no one can actually read? You get Guess Who's Coming To Seder? — the story of Sarah Friedman, who decides to hold her first Passover Seder dinner in her small New York City apartment for eight of her friends: none of whom are Jewish. As the Seder progresses and the wine flows, their hilarious, irreverent and poignant confessions reveal personal truths and conflicts about faith, love, money, friendship and the pursuit of freedom... and by the end of the Seder, no one remains the same."
March 22 at 3 PM and 7 PM
Dirty Little Secret: The Secret Life of Loretta Young
A Play by Joan Ross Sorkin
Directed by David Glenn Armstrong
Featuring Josh Adam Davis, Jenn Gambatese, Carly Rose Sonenclar and Lynne Wintersteller
"Picture Loretta Young in a glamorous gown, walking through that door on her television show, making her signature twirl, and you have entered the world of Dirty Little Secret, a play that explores one of the most unbelievable of all unbelievable Hollywood stories. To the public Loretta was 'Miss Goody-Two Shoes,' but scratch the surface and you will find a shocking private life in which her adopted daughter was used as a pawn to protect the careers of two towering Hollywood icons. Prepare to have your heart broken."
With the exception of Stranger (at The Griffin Theatre at 480 W. 42nd Street), York readings take place at The York Theatre at Saint Peter's on 54th St, just east of Lexington Avenue.
All York readings are free to the public. For additional information on the Series and to make reservations for any of the upcoming free presentations, visit the readings page at www.yorktheatre.org.
The York Theatre Company is the only theatre in New York City dedicated to developing and fully producing new musicals and preserving neglected, notable shows from the past.

Following severe criticism for its soaring costs and the heads of its initiators having rolled, the city of Hamburg was finally able to hold a topping-out ceremony for its new Elbphilharmonie, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Thanks to some very generous Hamburg citizens, more than €77 million has been raised through donations and other means of revenue against a total construction cost of €400 million.
The glass-structured design sits on top of Kaispeicher A, a historic redbrick landmark building within 'HafenCity' (Harbour City), Europe's biggest urban construction site.
