Plane seats a hot commodity, but options exist, official says
News News | Feb 4, 2004

A local travel official is trying to dispel the perception that all flights in and out of Aspen are sold out for the rest of the winter season.
Most of United's weekend flights at Sardy Field are booked up during February and March, but that's no different than in past years, said Bill Tomcich, president of reservations company Stay Aspen Snowmass. Tomcich sent out an e-mail on Tuesday to let local media and members of the travel industry know that Aspen travel opportunities still exist for this winter.
"There are lots of empty seats left, and the perception is far worse than reality," he said. "The reality is, there's less capacity on United this year than last year, and that puts a greater pressure elsewhere. The point of the e-mail was to illustrate the scores of other options still available."
United, the only carrier in and out of the Aspen airport from Denver International Airport, reduced its Aspen flights by 20 percent this winter season so finding a seat on the airline has been tougher. But Tomcich noted that Northwest airlines, which flies to Memphis and Minneapolis, is increasing its capacity by 50 percent beginning next Thursday. The carrier will add an additional flight to Memphis and offer three nonstops from Minneapolis.
In addition, Tomcich noted the "codeshare" between Northwest and Delta Air Lines, and United and U.S. Airways, which means travelers can make connections between airlines in different cities on one ticket.
"What it's done is increased the number of cities served in and out of Aspen " there's hardly an airport on the eastern seaboard that's not serviced by United, Northwest, US Airways or Delta," Tomcich said. "Through these partnerships, the expanded distribution power is enormous."
For travelers who must travel on weekends, Tomcich pointed to a number of flights through the Eagle County Airport on U.S. Airways. Because of the airlines' new relationship with United, travelers could arrange to leave from the Aspen airport on a weekday via United.
Tomcich has also seen an increase in the number of travelers who fly into Eagle, Grand Junction and even Denver, and rent cars to drive to Aspen.
"We had a 92 percent occupancy rate New Year's week, but we were down 20 percent on air capacity out of Denver," he said. "It's clear that people found other ways to get here."
But he said there is still a concern about the future of travel to Aspen, and a need to encourage direct flights into Aspen.
"Flying into Aspen is incredibly convenient, and we need to find a way to meet the demand of people who want to fly directly in and out of here," he said. "The demand is proved by the effort people make to get here."

COMPANY EXPRESS Israel provides a full nominee director and shareholders services to insure the highest degree of privacy and confidentiality as is often required by its clients.
The laws in various countries require that information pertaining to company directors and/or company shareholders is registered in publically-accessible files of the Companies Registry in the chosen country. Therefore the use of nominee directors and/or nominee shareholders is required to provide the client with the anonymity and confid entiality they require.
Third party directors with resident status in a fiscally neutral country are used in order to ensure that the offshore cannot be considered as a resident for taxation purposes and therefore will not be prone to taxation at a local rate on worldwide income in countries with onshore legislation.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the anonymity and confidentiality of the client can be compromised if the client signs legal and business documents as a company director or shareholder.
The essence of the nominee service is that it is the names of the nominee directors and/or shareholders that are indicated in all corporate documentation, according to their designation, thus ensuring that the names of the company's beneficial owners are not disclosed to the Companies Registry, providing the client with the utmost anonymity and confidentiality.
It is imperative to understand that at no point the appointed nominee directors/shareholders are entitled to manage the company. The nominee provides the beneficial owner of the company with a Power of Attorney empowering them to run the business, manage all company activities and operate the company's bank account.

Q: Is there a library available for the SECS/GEM protocol? I have to implement a communication between my app and another PC using the industrial standard protocol SECS/GEM PV2.
Are there any libraries available that I can use with Delphi?
Google didn't give me any usable results so far, maybe someone has experience with this protocol already?

A: The page about High-Speed SECS Message Services lists an open source implementation:
FREESECS, an open source suite of implementations of semiconductor fab communication standards
FREESECS components are implemented in C and C++. Currently available are: HSMS (SEMI E37.1) and SECSII (SEMI E5).
Maybe these components can be used with Delphi.

Musical Chairs at Bakersfield
It's all about the honky-tonk at this spot, now serving up Mexican food in Dilworth
Aleigh Acerni,
Bakersfield, with its array of taco options, has brought big crowds to the corner of Kenilworth Avenue and East Boulevard since its August opening.
THE NEW BAR AND EATERY on East Boulevard is named for the Bakersfield sound movement, a genre of country music that started in the California city of the same name in the 1950s. Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash would feel right at home here—and that's the idea, says owner/operator Brian Riggenbach. "Those guys were big American whiskey drinkers," he says. "And you can't have good Mexican food without tequila."
The menu centers on Mexican street food, with a large selection of tequilas and whiskeys. Tacos are the specialty. Fillings range from marinated pork with pineapple, pickled onions, and cilantro ($3), to short rib ($4), mahi ($4), and corn truffles ($4). The tortillas are made in house every day. The queso ($5) gets a spin in a blender, making it velvety and smooth, without chunks of chorizo or beef. A go-to: The house margarita ($7) is made with fresh lemon and lime juice.
Bakersfield opened on August 18, taking over the longtime Picasso's location (most recently, the building housed Longboard's Tacos and Tequila). Now cedar slat awnings, wooden roll-up doors, and a large, U-shaped bar define the space. Old Westerns frequently play on the television screens.
During its first few months, the restaurant was open only for dinner and late night, but the owners plan to start serving lunch six days a week, along with Sunday brunch.
1301 East Blvd.

Denver7 | SportsBroncos
Von on mission, not backing down in race vs. Father Time
At 32, seven-time All-Pro believes he can return to form after ankle injury

SANTA CLARA, CA - FEBRUARY 07: Von Miller #58 of the Denver Broncos holds up the Vince Lombardi Trophy after defeating the Carolina Panthers during Super Bowl 50 at Levi's Stadium on February 7, 2016 in Santa Clara, California. The Broncos defeated the Panthers 24-10. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

By: Troy Renck
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The tendency comes easily. Von Miller must be fading like your favorite T-shirt or blue jeans. He entered the league when Tim Tebow was still a quarterback and LMFAO was rockin' parties with its anthem.
But a closer examination of the rings of his tree trunk reveal something differently. Von is aging, but he's not that old. He turned 32 in March, a number that creates concern, yet does not forecast doom this season. The number of elite pass rushers to excel in their age 32 season provides a lens into why Miller should not be viewed like he has more wrinkles than a Shar-Pei.
Bruce Smith (10.5), Reggie White (13), Kevin Greene (14), Chris Doleman (12.5), Michael Strahan (18.5), Jason Taylor (13.5) and, perhaps most notably, DeMarcus Ware (10 in 2014) boasted strong play as Father Time cackled in the mirror. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that Miller sees no signs of graying in his game during voluntary OTA practice this week.
"I'm still running around here beating everybody's (butt), so I feel like, 30-what? Until I see otherwise, I'm going to keep doing it and I'm going to keep going," said Miller when I asked him about playing up to his standard. "Like I said before, that mindset that I created last year is a permanent thing. It wasn't a one-season thing. I felt like last season was going to be the season, but I feel like this season is going to be a great season, too. Just refocus with that same fire and that same intensity."
Inspired by Kobe Bryant's passing and Michael Jordan's "Last Dance," Miller vowed to become a more demanding leader last summer before missing 2020 with a dislocated left ankle tendon. He continued following that path this week, pacing in drills and providing pointers for teammates.
Whether he mocks the calendar or not, Miller recognizes the reality that the clock is ticking on winning another Super Bowl. He owns a ring because of the bedlam he and the Orange Rush defense created against the Carolina Panthers. A return to relevancy for the Broncos demands that their best players play well. In the case of Miller that means a Pro Bowl campaign, or even a flirtation with his eighth All-Pro selection.
"I'll never want to put a ceiling on a guy, especially a guy with his talent and his ability. I think this is his (11th) season coming up, but I still see a guy that's capable of playing like he was four, five, six years ago. It's going to be up to him to put in the time and effort in the next few months to get his body right," coach Vic Fangio said.
"As we saw (Sunday) in golf, (Phil) Mickelson proved you can play great, but the one thing he did mention was he's had to work harder and be more committed to his game to achieve that. I think that applies to football players, too —even somebody as talented as Von. You need to do more to maintain that level of play once you start getting into your 30s like he is and playing the position he is. There's no doubt in mind that he can do it."
When it comes to form following function, Miller might possess the best edge rusher's body ever. He is 6-3, roughly 250 pounds with levers for arms and Teenage Mutant Turtle legs. Watching him in drills this week, nothing has changed. Von still looks the part. Whether he can play it hinges on two factors -- health and a functional offense.
If the Broncos are capable of keeping games close or -- gasp! -- leading, Miller will receive more opportunities for sacks as opponents must put their quarterbacks in harm's way. He will also benefit from playing alongside Pro Bowler Bradley Chubb, who is expected to be cleared for training camp after having bone spurs removed in his ankle.
In their lone full season together in 2018, Miller (14.5) and Chubb (12) posted 26.5 sacks. The Broncos flirted with Leonard Floyd in free agency, but the prospect of running it back with Miller and Chubb proved more tempting to new general manager George Paton as he picked up Von's contract option after first asking him to take a pay cut. Miller will make $18 million this season in the final year of his deal. His stated goal is to spend his entire career in Denver, but it will require production after he posted eight sacks in 2019, his lowest total since 2013.
"I always had an internal faith that I would be here. I said a long time ago that I want to be a Bronco for life. I always felt like that even though the business and all this stuff. I always felt like this was home and this is where I was going to end up. I'm an optimistic guy," Miller said. "I always feel like we can win the Super Bowl and be the best defense. I always feel like that, and that same optimism -- I brought into this offseason. I always felt like I was going to be a Denver Bronco. I always felt I was going to come back."
There was concern this offseason that Miller could face an NFL suspension. On March 5, the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against Miller regarding criminal allegations, ending several weeks of the legal issue hanging over his future.
This case began in unusual fashion on Jan. 15 with the Parker Police Department announcing it was investigating Miller, but declining to say for what reason. On Feb. 23, Parker police turned the case over to the DA's Office, an indication that they believed there was enough evidence to charge Miller. Miller commented on the matter for the first time this week.
"We wanted to get everything resolved, and hopefully and gratefully, we got everything resolved. Everything is done and we're just focusing on football right now. That's all it is. Everything's resolved and I'm in a great place to really put all that stuff behind me and just focus on football," Miller said. "To be here with the Denver Broncos for another year and be around my teammates and joke with all the guys."
Miller has shown energy, bounce and humor this week. Teammates embraced his return, loyal and appreciative of the veteran. Now the question remains: Can an older Von Miller be the Von Miller of old?
"I remember when I got hurt last year, I just had these memories of, 'Dang.' I was sitting on the turf and I was like, 'Man, is this my last play as a Denver Bronco?' I grinded and I worked hard to put that away and I never take that for granted. Every time I go out there, I feel blessed. It just means so much more to fight back from injury. Especially this late in my career, to fight back from injury and get out on the football field and being back to being present, it means so much more," Miller said. "I am ready to compete and play to the best of my ability."

Q: ArcGIS REST layer doesn't show up in OpenLayers I try to show a WMS layer with OpenLayers 4.6.5 but the tiles don't show up.
I use the following code to load the WMS layer as ArcGIS REST service:
new ol.layer.Tile({
  source: new ol.source.TileArcGISRest({
    url: "https://geoportal.amb.cat/arcgis/rest/services/Cartografia/MapaTopograficAMB1M_ETRS89/MapServer",
    projection: 'EPSG:25831',
    params: {'LAYERS': 'Nivell 1k'}
  })
})

The browser network tab shows that tiles get loaded, but they are all transparent.
Here is the jsfiddle.

A: The location may need adjusting by about 10km as tiles are not loading where you centered the view.  The main problem was that EPSG:25831 needed to be defined using proj4.  You will need to include the library <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/proj4js/2.5.0/proj4.js"></script>
proj4.defs("EPSG:25831","+proj=utm +zone=31 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs");

var layers = [
        new ol.layer.Tile({
          source: new ol.source.OSM()
        }),
        new ol.layer.Tile({
          source: new ol.source.TileArcGISRest({
            url: "https://geoportal.amb.cat/arcgis/rest/services/Cartografia/MapaTopograficAMB1M_ETRS89/MapServer",
            projection: 'EPSG:25831',
            params: {'LAYERS': 'Nivell 1k'}
          })
        })
];
var map = new ol.Map({
  layers: layers,
  target: 'map',
  view: new ol.View({
    center: [232350, 5070153],
    zoom: 15,
    minZoom: 12,
    maxZoom: 20
  })
});

A: ArcGIS Tile Services are wierd and don't allways act the same way as other WMTS.
your code missed the new projection = ol.proj.Projection declaration and also misplaced.
Besides that you also had the map startiong location out of the layer bounds.
I set it to the service's minimal coordinates, you can modify it further from there.
A fixed code would look like this:
var layers = [
        /*new ol.layer.Tile({
          source: new ol.source.OSM()
        }),*/
        new ol.layer.Tile({
          source: new ol.source.TileArcGISRest({
            url: "https://geoportal.amb.cat/arcgis/rest/services/Cartografia/MapaTopograficAMB1M_ETRS89/MapServer"
          })
        })
];
var projection
var map = new ol.Map({
  layers: layers,
  target: 'map',
  view: new ol.View({
    center: [423690,4582541],
    zoom: 15,
    minZoom: 12,
    maxZoom: 20,
    projection: new ol.proj.Projection({
        code:  'EPSG:25831',
        units: 'm'
    })
  })
});

A: Some things I am picking up as I am reading your code:

*

*Your indentation is still all over the place, some places you use 2 spaces, others you use 4 - you need to fix this, python relies heavily on indentation to compile.

*In your function winner you are not doing anything, the double equals sign is a test operator and will not do any assignment, it will simply check if the value in win1 is equal to the randomly generated number.

*In the same function, you make a variable winner that holds a string with the characters win1 win2 ... in it, I can only assume you are trying to create an object that holds these win1 variables, for that you can use a list, like so:
winners = [win1, win2, win3, win4, win5, win6]

*In that same function you are not returning anything, so the function is useless, in order to send the output of the function back to what called it you must use return(winners)
I have no idea what you're trying to do in your largest playPowerBall function, so I will just discuss some things that are clearly confusing you:

*def as a keyword defines a function, but does not execute it, you must call that function for it to run.

*Like I said earlier, in order to send results out of a function you must return the answer/result.

*I have a hunch that instead of seeing invalid input you are seeing an invalid syntax error because you are trying to check whether the integer matches is inside the function pointer ticket. This is not a valid syntax, to make a function call you must use parentheses otherwise python thinks you are referring to the function pointer, so matches in ticket() could be valid syntax, however as you have defined it I cannot see how that would work.

Has this code ever compiled properly or run at all? I think you need to go back to much more basic stuff about function definitions before trying to construct something this complex, start with one function definition and try and get that to work in a small program and then come back to this.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Acid explosion injures chemistry students
DPA/The Local - [email protected] • 16 Jan, 2014 Updated Thu 16 Jan 2014 10:21 CEST
A student was seriously injured and 15 others also hurt when the left-overs of a chemical experiment exploded after they were mistakenly mixed together at a German university.
The 24-year-old student was hit by flying glass and breathed in poisonous chemicals which are thought to have caused a lung embolism, police in Karlsruhe said on Thursday.
The organic chemistry students were clearing up after an afternoon's lab work in the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) on Wednesday when a mix of nitric acid and sulphuric acid came into contact with an organic chemical.
The glass beaker containing the left-over acids exploded, scattering acid, poisonous fumes and pieces of glass across the laboratory. Police estimated that around €10,000-worth of damage was caused.
All those in the lab inhaled the gases, which led to some breathing difficulties, police said in a statement. The 24-year-old student was seriously hurt and was taken to accident and emergency at the local hospital.
The others were taken to various hospitals nearby for examination, as was a firefighter who suffered a chemical eye injury.
The building was evacuated while firefighters carried out tests for chemicals, but found no danger. Karlsruhe police were on Thursday collecting evidence to establish what had happened, but there was no immediate suspicion of foul play, a spokeswoman told The Local.

U.S. Population To Hit 300 Million In Fall
AP, June 25, 2006
WASHINGTON — The U.S. population is on target to hit 300 million this fall and it's a good bet the milestone baby — or immigrant — will be Hispanic.
No one will know for sure because the date and time will be just an estimate.
But Latinos — immigrants and those born in this country — are driving the population growth, accounting for almost half the increase last year, more than any other ethnic or racial group.
White non-Hispanics, who make up about two-thirds of the population, accounted for less than one-fifth of the increase.
In 1967, there were fewer than 10 million people in the U.S. who were born in other countries; that was not even one in 20.
Today, there are 36 million immigrants, about one in eight.
The 300 millionth person in the U.S. will likely be born — or cross the border — in October, though bureau officials are wary of committing to a particular month because of the subjective nature of the clock.

The Largest National Parks in the U.S.
National parks serve as top tourist magnets in the United States, with some of America's most iconic and recognizable physical and historical features being the prime attractions. The National Park Service (NPS), which oversees 392 units, welcomes more than 270 million visitors each year. Some of America's national parks are much more popular than others.
Most of the five most-visited national parks will come as no surprise to many. Well-known destinations appear high on the list -- Grand Canyon (No. 2), Yosemite (No. 3) and Yellowstone (No. 5), based on five-year averages from 2005 to 2009. However, the top name on the list might surprise some: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which welcomes more than 9 million visitors each year -- or more than double the number of annual visitors to Grand Canyon National Park. Olympic National Park in Washington rounds out the top five parks in the fourth spot.
The top five parks indicate that national park visits are more of a park-centric phenomenon. In other words, there are no patterns in terms of region, as the top five parks stretch from the northwest to the southeast and northern Rockies down to the Southwest. Expanding to the top 10 presents some greater regional trends. Zion National Park in southern Utah is the 7th most-visited park in the system; it is the closest national park to Grand Canyon National Park, showing that a concentration of park goers escape to the desert scenery of the Southwest. Also in the top 10 are Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado (No. 6) and Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming (No. 9), showing strong visitation for Rocky Mountain national parks, particularly Wyoming's parks.
While national parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite are the face of the National Park Service, they are but a percentage of the total units of the service. Only 58 out of 392 NPS units are national parks, and only 63 million of the 285 million visitors to NPS sites in 2009 visited national parks. Other units include historical sites, national monuments, recreation areas and national military sites. While national parks are the most popular category overall, the top several most-visited NPS sites aren't national parks at all. The top two most-visited units in the national park system are Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina and Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California. Gateway National Recreation Area in New Jersey and New York comes in fourth, right behind Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Anyone who's ever visited a national park knows that season can play a large role in the experience. The most-visited national parks experience their busiest season in summer (June to September) and their lightest season in winter. However, Great Smoky National Park typically sees crowds swell to summer-like levels in October due to the height of the fall foliage season and Grand Canyon National Park has an earlier peak season, May to August. While it's not surprising that summer is the overwhelming peak season, given the fairer weather and school vacations during the season, it does lend some credence to the fact that visiting during parks during the spring and fall can present the best mix of favorable weather and lighter crowds. In fact, in some parks like Grand Canyon, the spring and the fall are considered superior to the summer due to the more moderate weather.
While amenities vary from park to park, the most-visited national parks tend to have better amenities than less popular parks to help deal with the crowds. With the exception of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the top five most-visited parks have lodges inside the parks.The parks with the most lodges in the entire system are Yellowstone, with nine, and Grand Canyon, with eight. Yosemite is home to seven lodges, while Olympic has four. To cut down on traffic and pollution, Grand Canyon National Park and Yosemite National Park offer free shuttle buses for transporting visitors to and from popular destinations, both within the parks and into nearby communities. Other popular parks, such as Zion and Rocky Mountain, also offer shuttles.

This Tuesday, December 11, Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a long-awaited and much discussed ordinance regulating short-term rentals, also known as home-sharing. Slated to go into effect on July 1, 2019, the ordinance bans rent-controlled units and non-primary residences from participating in home-sharing. The regulations will apply to the entire city of Los Angeles, including Venice, one of the city's most popular vacation destinations. This is the city's first attempt to legalize and simultaneously crack down on short-term rentals, which many critics say contribute to the housing crisis. Many who host on Airbnb have been vocal about how much they rely on the extra income to stay in their homes.
Wednesday, December 5th, 2018 at 6:44pm.
After 3 years of debate, Los Angeles City Council Planning and Land Use Management committee approved a draft ordinance on December 4, 2018, pushing forward a proposed regulatory structure for home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway. Los Angeles currently has no enforced regulatory system for how residents home-share.
The committee's approval of the full ordinance means that the full City Council could vote on it soon and work out the smaller details in the future. The ordinance would not take effect until July 1, 2019, or until a separate ordinance regulating non-primary residences is passed.
Monday, November 12th, 2018 at 12:19pm.
Believe it or not, Home-Sharing aka Vacation Rentals aka Airbnb is technically illegal in Los Angeles. It seems everyone has done it, or has friends or family who has; whether they host or travel. For the past few years, the Los Angeles City Council has been waiting to vote on a controversial ordinance with rules and regulations about who can home share, how they can do it, and what they have to pay in order to stay compliant. On Tuesday, November 6, the Planning and Land Use Management Committee heard comments from critics and advocates of this politicized ordinance for the sixth time since the motion was introduced in December 2014.
Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 at 7:32pm.
This Tuesday, Oct 24th, 2018 a Special Meeting of the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee of the Los Angeles City Council convened to hear public comments on the proposed Home-Sharing Ordinance and adjourned without conclusion, again. The meeting was attended by members of the UNITE HERE Local 11, the Los Angeles Vacation Home Rental Alliance, Los Angeles Tenants Union, as well as concerned area landlords and home-share advocates. In the 3 years since the ordinance was proposed, it remains under review.

The new facilities are beautiful on the outside and state of the art on the inside. In addition to the modern aesthetic and all the impressive tech there were some nice touches like the featured art pieces sourced by locally based artists. Hopefully community members will receive many years of top notch medical services as a result of increased access via this new facility.

This must be the cheapest item in my collection, yet it's one of the best. I've never used this type of liner before, but I tested Topshop's felt liner last time I was in there and quite liked it. I planned to buy it, but then I came across the Collection 2000 Extreme Felt Liner. Given its tiny price tag I thought I'd give it a whirl.
I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. It's so precise and easy to use. It's jet black, smudge-proof, bleed-proof, fast drying and super long lasting. I normally use gel liners, which I adore, but this is great if you want a slick, thin line and it's very good for creating a flick. Starting at the inner corner I traced it very closely along the lash line. I then went back and thickened it up a little with sweeping strokes. If you want a thicker line, just press harder. I found it a lot easier to use than traditional liquid liners, but not quite as easy as gel liners. It does require a steady hand and because the line is so thin, the tiniest mistake shows up, but practice makes perfect.
It's a great find, a definite summer staple. Collection 2000 Extreme Felt Liner £2.99 Boots, Superdrug and supermarkets nationwide.
I like felt liners, but haven't found a good one. This looks promising!

This Fresh Raspberry Cream Pie Recipe is very quick to whip up for a dessert or any other occasion that demands a great tasting pie!
The abundance of fresh raspberries gives this pie such a refreshing taste.
This pie can also be frozen for 1 week, and then thawed in the refrigerator.
It's one of those recipes that looks great, tastes amazing, and was so easy to create!
Note - The first time I made this pie, I used a store-purchased, ready made wafer crumb crust, but I found the cut pieces of pie did not stay together, but rather broke apart because the crust was not thick enough for the weight of the cream filling.
I recommend a home-made graham crumb crust for this pie.
Dissolve the flavoured gelatin in the boiling water.
Add the ice cubes and stir until jelly starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove any ice that has not melted.
Blend the whipped dessert topping into the jelly.
Chill until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
Garnish with fresh raspberries (if desired) just prior to serving.

A.I.R. Gallery Biennial
I'm happy to bring you the press release for the latest show that I've been selected for. This is an exciting time to be in the photography and digital media field. After searching for 2 years for a place to fit in art world, I'm finally starting to find a home. Digital photography, photographic manipulation, and using photographs as source material is really starting to develop as an art form. I can't wait to see where the Post Photography era will go.

A.I.R. Gallery's 11th Biennial Exhibition | MAKING AND TAKING: PICTURES RECONSIDEREDDecember 4, 2014 - January 3, 2015
Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 2014 from 6-9pm
Read the full press release here.
Making and Taking: Pictures Reconsidered
This biennial results from an open invitation to female artists "investigating the intersection of hand produced and photographic pictures." The call for submissions began, "A mutual interest linking painting and photography is as old as cameras. Lately, under the digital regime, it has taken a number of new turns. It may be that women have a particular stake in this relationship between the handmade and the mechanically or electronically produced, as between the provinces of subjective and commercial expression. "
To dig around a little in the show's premise, and title: I was thinking, in part, of the old chestnut, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." It is a pronouncement made by Ansel Adams, he of the transcendent Western landscapes, seemingly given to him direct by the gods of sunlight, shadow and wind. But like landscape itself, Adams's images, he tells us, weren't there until seen and framed—and then shot, printed, and, we now know, manipulated. We know, too, that manipulated photographs go back to the birth of photography; soft-edged, hazily lit and symbolically rich Pictorialist images of the late nineteenth century were not the first to demonstrate that painterly effects could be achieved with a camera, light-sensitive emulsion, and various darkroom maneuvers. It is a tradition rich with women photographers, from Julia Margaret Cameron and Gertrude Käsebier to Sally Mann.
With the "Pictures" generation (to return to this show's title), focal length changed, stepping back to include the viewer and, beyond, the commercial media that shape the way all images are seen. Photographs are not simply made, by a person with a camera and an idea; they're constructed by the culture in which both artist and audience participate. As it happens, women artists—among them Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman, and Carrie Mae Weems, to name just a few—were leaders in the articulation of this insight. They and their younger peers have helped us see how the fluid boundaries between art and advertising, viewer and consumer, have been further blurred by digital technology. Its agile little devices can insinuate themselves anywhere, producing files that are a cross between information and image, mutable and mobile. Paintings can be made on an iPad. Photographs can be printed on canvas.
These, anyway, were the ideas, admittedly broad, behind the call for submissions. The number of respondents—over 800—was the first surprise. Others arrived in the cataracts of smart, funny, spiky and sensuous images that they sent in. I found, in them, a widely shared pleasure in mixing the digital and the analog and in violating technical protocols; in reversals, inversions, and shadows, and the representation of things that are not quite there. Photography, for these artists, is often a tool of introspection and of memory; painting a way of gorging on photography, of chewing it up and spitting it back out. There is photography without cameras, and nearly without images; it warps space and shifts the visible spectrum. But sometimes, in this work, the photographic (to borrow another chestnut) is just a glimpse, just as sometimes the pressures of painting are slight. Always, the hand at work belongs to an artist with a woman's experience of the visible world, a fact that matters in the outcome.
A dozen more exhibitions could have been produced by this call; this one is not meant to be conclusive. But is a rich sampling of a vital field, and, maybe, an invitation to further taking, and making.

Provides reference information for settings of the TCP outbound adapters.
Applies to EnsLib.TCP.CountedOutboundAdapter, EnsLib.TCP.CountedXMLOutboundAdapter, and EnsLib.TCP.TextLineOutboundAdapter.
Applies to all outbound TCP adapters.
Number of seconds to wait on each attempt to connect to the remote TCP listener. The default is 5 seconds.
Applies to EnsLib.TCP.CountedOutboundAdapter and EnsLib.TCP.CountedXMLOutboundAdapter.
If 1 (true) wait to read a reply message back from the socket before returning. If 0 (false) do not wait. The default value is 1.
IP address to make a TCP connection to. The adapter accepts a named IP address, an IPV4 address, or an IPV6 address.
If the string starts with an exclamation point (!) character, the outbound adapter does not initiate the connection but rather waits for an incoming connection request. Once it accepts the connection request, it can send outbound messages. The exclamation point can be specified by itself or followed by a comma-separated list of IP addresses. If the exclamation point is not followed by an IP address, the outbound TCP adapter accepts a connection from any IP address, otherwise the adapter accepts connections only from the specified addresses. The adapter accepts named IP addresses, IPV4 addresses, or IPV6 addresses. You can optionally specify a port for each IP address by appending a colon (:) followed by the port number. If a port is specified, the adapter accepts connections from only the specified port.
Identifies the TCP port to connect to.
Specifies the number of incoming connections the operating system should hold in reserve on behalf of this business operation. There is generally no reason to change the default value of 0. Either the connection is outbound, or the business operation is using '!' inbound mode, in which case only 1 client is allowed at a time, per business operation pool job.
Number of retries at which to drop the connection and try reconnecting again. A value of 0 (zero) means never disconnect. The default value is 5.
Number of seconds to wait for a response to begin arriving back from the remote system after sending a request. The default is 15 seconds.
If StayConnected is a positive value, the adapter stays connected to the remote system for this number of seconds after completing an operation. A zero value means to disconnect immediately after every operation. The default of –1 means to stay permanently connected, even during idle times. Adapters are assumed idle at startup and therefore only auto-connect if they are configured with a StayConnected value of –1.

You are here:Home » Case Victories » 500 Assault / Violent Crime Victories » State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 4802)
VIOLATION of INJUNCTION AGAINST HARASSMENT DISMISSED- State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 4802) (Scottsdale City Court CR2004-20751): Mr. B. had been having problems with his mother, who she had served him with an Order of Protection. He then left her a voice mail stating that he was "damn mad". Police arrested and cited him for a violation of an Order of Protection, and just prior to Hearing we argued that the service of the Order of Protection was improper on Mr. B. The Prosecutor agreed to dismiss all charges if Mr. B. completed some classes per a "diversion" agreement.


Thank you for your help in getting this project started. Everyone associated with Mullets is wonderful. The scheduling was amazing…like clockwork. I liked the barcodes on the pieces…it really highlights your streamlined process. I am very impressed with the workmanship and the guys' professionalism. I love all of the trim pieces and appreciate their eye to details!!! They hustled the entire time; yet, they took the time to do it correctly. The miters are absolutely perfect! Every one of them. I cannot wait to update another room because everyone did a great job!!! My friends will be as awestruck as am I. It is beautiful. The entire world should see how Mullet Cabinets does a project.
This is the fourth home we've built and the fourth set of cabinets we've purchased. Our Mullet Cabinets are the nicest and the Sales Associates were the best! Thanks again, Mullet Family.
My installers were excellent to work with. They were also on my kitchen and they were absolutely wonderful to work with again. Looking forward to my next project and hope to be able to request them again. My Designer was very patient with me and helped me design a bathroom that everyone wants to copy! Mullet went to the extreme to provide customer satisfaction, and that's why I chose to be a repeat customer. Love my kitchen & Love my bathroom. Thanks so much for taking such good care of me.
We love your workmanship, professional and personal service. This is our third experience, family room, kitchen, baths and dressing room with Mullet Cabinet. I look forward to our next project with you.
Well worth the drive time! Wonderful service! Ivan (job site engineer) was a pleasure too! The cabinets and counter tops are beautiful and we have had many wonderful compliments on them. Thank you so much!
My experience with the Mullet Cabinet was truly a wonderful experience. Being it my first kitchen, it's something to be truly proud of! The installers were very professional. You could tell they took great pride in their job and spoke very positive about the company. You came very highly recommended to me and that is why I will pass on the Mullet Cabinet name to anyone to ask!
Finally, I am writing a long overdue thank you for the exceptional service and beautiful kitchen/bathroom cabinets Mullet Cabinet constructed for us. Mullet Cabinet is truly the industry leader in kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. From the buyers who select the quality materials, to the experts who build the cabinets, to the installers who are true craftsman and put it all together in a professional manner rarely seen today, you are second to none. Six years ago Mullet Cabinet built and installed the outstanding kitchen cabinets Maggie and I now admire so much in our home. When our cottage was destroyed by fire last year, we never had a doubt or slight consideration that anyone but Mullet Cabinet would provide and install the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Once again, the quality service and professionalism we received is truly difficult to describe and nearly impossible to find in today's world.Mullet Cabinet has answered our needs twice and each time we came away with the knowledge that we had worked with the most reliable, honest, professional and courteous group of individuals in the industry. Everyone who sees our kitchen at home and at our cottage is overwhelmed with the beauty, quality of construction and superb installation that Mullet Cabinet provides. Again, thanks to you and all those at Mullet Cabinet for being the best of the best!!!
The kitchen looks great! We're thrilled with it and the superb workmanship. We've had nothing but rave reviews from all who see it and when we're asked "Who did you get the cabinets from?". We gladly tell them "Mullet Cabinet". Again, thanks so much, great doing business with you!
Mullet was most professional, helpful and patient during the entire process. They were very flexible to our needs to have the cabinets installed in different rooms over a several week period of time. They were recommended to us by the owner of an Amish furniture store in the area which Mullet's had installed cabinets in his new home. He felt they provided the best value for high end Amish cabinets made in the area. After checking the various cabinet builders in the Millersburg/Berlin Ohio area, we concurred with his conclusion. We also found their pricing to be only slightly more than that of semi-custom cabinets available in big box stores. We chose solid cherry cabinets with selected options like their under mount drawer slides. We were most pleased with the installation quality of their quality installation crew. We have received numerous compliments on these cabinets. We highly recommend this company if you are considering cabinetry for your kitchen or bath.
Steve (sales) was SO GREAT to work with! Our kitchen he designed is the HIGHLIGHT of our home!!! He was very patient and made the experience a pleasurable one! I'll recommend him and Mullet Cabinet to everyone I know.
From your showroom, salesperson, the individual who did the measuring to the installer they were all excellent and we tell our friends about your company!!
I want to thank all who helped us through our remodeling project. Steve (sales) for working with us to create a workable plan. Mark (installer) who came out to investigate the problem, surveyed the problem and worked with us to resolve the problem. The cabinets are beautiful and everyone who has seen them agrees. Thanks again.
This is our 4th purchase from Mullets; two kitchens a cabinet and this bathroom. Yet we feel like we were treated as first time customers through-out the entire process. Thanks!
I love my cabinets and counter tops. I am very proud to show them to everyone. They are beautiful, much more than I could have imagined. Keith (sales) did a wonderful job working with me, understanding what I wanted and knowing what I could afford. When Keith wasn't around to help – the others were very friendly and helpful.
We love our Mullet Cabinets!!! This is our second home that we have had Mullets in! Beautiful and exceptional quality!! Thank you.

Q: InstaPy quickstart.py not working - Selenium issue I have installed Python 3.8.2 and installed Instapy using the video tutorial and running the installation file and windows start file that comes with the Instapy-quickstart Package from github.

Suffering with a Mental Illness?
There's such a stigma around having a mental illness these days, if you suffer with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder you've probably been called an attention seeker before. It's like we can't talk about it without having a negative correlation to us.
I think I need to put this out there because I think that more people need to be aware of mental illnesses, especially more older children (ages 9-13) need to be aware what they're experiencing so they don't feel confused or 'abnormal', like I did.
It all started around year 5. Our class was made to go swimming every week, and I used to hate it so much, I didn't know why. In the pool I was in the shallow end very nervous, I used to grip onto the side and i was so afraid to let go because it would make me panic over the fact that I had no control.
I had no idea that I was having tons of panic attacks throughout year 5/6. I had them in PE and swimming mostly, even in the playground at dinnertime.
I had no idea, I felt like an idiot, I felt stupid and weird, and it was scary because nobody knew but me. I didn't wanna tell anyone either because it was embarrassing. Plus, what was happening? How could I even explain it?
I remember standing outside actually being sick at the age of 10/11 at the thought of having to go swimming and have a panic attack. I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me. I remember my teachers even asking me snide questions making me feel like crap. Why don't you wanna go swimming? Why don't you like to go outside and do PE? They probably just thought I was lazy, hahaha. I think the 'open area' of the court or the swimming pool, and just knowing I couldn't just get out for an hour made me freak out.
In year 10 (when I was about 14) I remember in my science class sitting there, on a science stool and I began to have the same feelings I had had years ago. The feeling came back to me, I was absolutely PETRIFIED.
I couldn't stay in there, I had to get out. At this point, I kinda knew I was panicking, so I told my friend. Which , embarrassingly I had to leave the class with everyone staring at me – knowing what was going on.
I remember seeing multiple counselors and even seeing a hypnotherapist and nothing changed. I'm still receiving support now (almost 17, in college) and I'm just hoping this doesn't carry on into adulthood.
This is only part of my story, let me know if you want me to delve in deeper!
Do you suffer with anxiety or panic attacks, what triggers them? Let me know – let's talk.
How thanks for sharing. It must be hard to tell us your story, but you did it yeah.
Thanks for sharing. I can definitely relate. I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks from the time I was little, too. I have moved around a lot and being in a new environment always triggers them as does public speaking (even in a small group especially if there are a lot of new faces). Yoga and meditation helps as do the simple things like making sure I am well-rested and exercising. It does seem to get easier as I get older because I am less hard on myself (I'm not in constant fear of a panic attack and I try to accept them when they do happen). It also helps to know that you are not the only one, and you aren't– by far. Big hug to you!
I hope your doing well today, it's lovely to hear your story, as I know this will help others a lot. I personally having never suffered from mental illness, but being 15, peers do deal with mental illness, and I'm so fortunate to be in a school where for the most part, we all support those dealing with mental illness.
I just looked at your profile, and I'm also from Manchester, England! Irrelavent but coincidental!
Thanks for sharing your story, this will help many people. It always helps to know that you're not alone and there are people experiencing the same thing you are. Once you realize this, you don't feel so singled out and alone. I find that breathing helps big time! I practice yoga so different breathing techniques can help. It calms the body and delivers oxygen to every cell to help relax you.
I get panic attacks when I have sensory overload (loud music, pulsing lights, lots of people in a small space). I normally try to avoid those situations, but as a Christian, I have my best Friend right beside me all the time. Jesus Christ is the One who gets me through my panic attacks. Even if I still cry, I don't feel alone, which is, I imagine, how you feel when you're having yours. That's how it is for a friend of mine. But being saved by Jesus' giving his Life for me and having Him with me all the time keeps me so safe and secure.

Excerpt: Today we are going to deal with the laws of yoga formulated in part our predecessors and in part-in the process of work of our school.
Excerpt: To approach God we, first of all, have to possess the development ability to love: from the heart What can unite one consciousness with another!- Only love.
Excerpt: We STUDIED God as scientists. Though we do not belong to any religious tradition, we fully accept all the best that was created in each of them.
Excerpt: Speaking of Christianity we should differentiate between two meanings of this word. The first one the teaching of Jesus Christ.
Excerpt: The Upanishads (which means insights in Sanskrit) are short philosophic-religious treatises of Indian origin, in which different authors expressed their ideas about the essence of Divinity and the religious path of spiritual seekers. These texts had been written before coming of Avatar Krishna to Earth.
Excerpt: Now we are going to deal with a very interesting ecological phenomenon having great significance for spiritual work.
Excerpt: Poems are written by disciples of the school. Unrhymed literal translation from Russian accompanied by original Russian poetic version is given.
Excerpt: For the majority of the readers, deceived by the atheistic and sectarian propaganda, this may sound surprising and even implausible. But this is exactly what God has always taught people throughout the entire history of mankind ? through prophets or Himself, appearing before people in human bodies of Messiahs, Avatars, and Christ [7-18].
Excerpt: Yoga is the name of the Teaching of the means of achieving spiritual Perfection. Translated from Sanskrit this word means union', merging, becoming one' Implied is removal of One's personal separation harmonious merging of individual with Marco ecosystem.
Excerpt: I started my search for the Truth in the late 1960s, when I became seriously interested in philosophy, being a university student. Now I can say that I have found it completely, exhaustively. And this allowed us to start the work of spreading our knowledge and our methods of self-perfection.
Excerpt: People imply different things by this word. Quite right was Gurdjieff saying that each person has his own religion.
Excerpt: Rajneesh is one of our contemporaries (he left his body in 1990 at the age of 59) who in reality achieved the Divine Perfection and mastered the supreme Wisdom and love, as well as got rooted in Brahman's dimension and obtained the ability to unite with Ishvara.
Excerpt: The Advent of Sathya Sai Baba He was born in 1926 and named Sathya Narayana Raju. In childhood, He was liked by everyone, because He was always kind, forgiving all offences from coevals, never ?requiting evil with evil?. And more? during school years, He entertained His coevals by giving them sweets, which He took out from an apparently empty bag, materializing them.
Excerpt: ?A sower went out to sow, and while he was sowing, some of the seeds fell down near a road and were trampled down, and the birds of the sky pecked them, some fell down on a stone and came up, but withered, because there was no moisture; some fell down among thorns, and thorns grew and choked them; and others fell down on good soil, and when they came up, they gave a hundredfold harvest? (Luke 8:5-8).
Excerpt: Learn to love Me, like I love everyone. When you acquire mastery of this , you will become one with Me.
Excerpt: When the work is finished, one should withdraw. The gates of the world close and open when the calm is preserved. Knowledge of this truth makes non-action possible. Being senior among others, do not regard yourself as a lord. Efforts of wise man are aimed at having enough food and not at possessing beautiful things.
Excerpt: This book presents the readers with the Teaching about the Path to the Spiritual Perfection of the Avatar (Messiah, Embodiment of God) Babaji from Haidakhan (India). Babaji is the One Who of His Own Will incarnates on the Earth from age to age to help those seeking the Truth and to edify the spiritual leaders of our planet.


A Indian-style, sweet and sour (chat pata), vermicelli breakfast ready in just 20 minutes.
Vegetable Vermicelli or Semiya Upma is savory breakfast enjoyed in every part of the India. Made with semolina vermicelli pasta as known as semiya or semiyian... it is a twist on classic popular south Indian semolina (or suji) upma.
Vermicelli or Semiya are made of semolina and cook relatively quickly and are lite on stomach. So, this is one of our favorite breakfast when in hurry.... flavorful, fast, has veggies, and I also add sliced boiled egg for a serving of protein.
This recipe is little sweet and tangy take on traditional semiya upma. You will be surprised to know that the sweet and tangy kick in this upma comes from an easy to find every day pantry ingredient i.e. tomato ketchup!
Oh yeah!! Simple old ketchup takes this upma tastes so so good..... plate licking good!
I'm SO excited to share this chat-pata (sweet and sour) version with you.
Semolina Vermicelli Upma is a kind of breakfast that keep full for a long time. No between meal snack cravings!
If you believe that breakfast is most important meal of the day... then this savory breakfast is calling your name! Lite and delicious semolina pasta, two small serving of veggies (carrots and green peas), and serving of protein rich eggs. This my friends, a delicious way to start day healthy, full and fabulous!
For the record, not just breakfast, I can enjoy any day even for lunch or dinner.
The non-traditional addition of unexpected ketchup in Vermicelli Upma makes it specially favorite with kids. Kids will be so busy enjoying the sweet-sour noodles (semiya) and egg that no one will notice eating veggies! How goo does that sound?
PS: Use any veggies of your choice. Carrots and green peas are my personal favorite.
I often made vermicelli upma with just mustard, lemon and seasoning..... but when I learned the trick to add some ketchup... I was pleasantly impressed and surprised. This version of upma, which I adapted from an Indian Cookbook a few years ago, has made a fixed place in my heart and I have been waiting for long time to share this recipe with you.
To keep this upma vegetarian, all it needs is not using the eggs. However, if you eat eggs, I highly recommend trying it with boiled eggs. I'm sure you will enjoy the addition of eggs.
I special feature of this version of upma is that it travels well and can be served at room temperature. I sometimes even pack this for lunch with some side of fruits.
So, bring a delicious change in your family breakfast this week! Make some Vermicelli Upma!! I'm telling you, you will find all ingredients for this savory breakfast in your pantry! No need of a special grocery trip!
Smart Swap Just skip eggs to keep Vermicelli Upma completely vegetarian.
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. Add cashews and toast until brown and crispy. Remove in plate. In same oil, add vermicelli and cook until light brown and toasted. Transfer the toasted vermicelli to a plate and set aside.
If using eggs, boil them while you cooking vermicelli upma.
2. In same pan, heat oil (smoking hot), add mustard seeds, cover and let get black. Add diced carrots, green peas cook until just soft (2-3 minutes). Add toasted vermicelli. Now, add water 3-4 tablespoon at a time until pasta is soft and water is fully absorbed.
3. Now add sugar, ketchup, chili powder, and lemon juice. Combine with vermicelli. Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with roasted cashew nuts and sliced hard boiled eggs. Serve and enjoy!
I love semiya upma..adding eggs is a nice touch! Now only if Sarvesh would eat eggs, I would add them too! Looks yum Savita!
Thanks, Manali! :) Eggs certainly go great in this upma, but you know, if you get chance, if not eggs, try with ketchup, you gonna love it!
