Colorado 'smart' home temperature control apps find that they can be used by the power company to forcibly turn down your settings
Thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado were locked out of their 'smart' thermostats, meaning they had no control of the temperatures in their homes.
The thermostat displayed a message saying he could not turn up the cooling because he had been locked out due to an energy emergency.
The app users had signed up for a scheme whereby they receive discounts in exchange for volunteering for a personalised power cut when the electricity company is running out of capacity.
Xcel confirmed that some customers had been locked out of their thermostats for hours. Vice President of Customer Solutions and Innovation Emmett Romine said that the 22,000 customers who could not control their thermostats had registered for the Colorado AC Rewards program. He explained:
It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives. For participating in the program, customers received $100 in credit and $25 annually.
He added that it was the first time in the six years since the program was launched that customers were not able to override their thermostats. He said there was an energy emergency caused by hot weather, heavy usage of air conditioners, and an unexpected outage in Pueblo.
Presumably the same sort of 'emergency override' capability is one of the reason that UK power companies are so keen on getting people to have 'smart' meters.
Shooting the messenger...
Sony Music is trying to block websites via public DNS resolvers
See article from torrentfreak.com
DNS-resolver Quad9 has lost its appeal against Sony Music's pirate site-blocking order at the Regional Court in Hamburg. The non-profit Quad9 Foundation is disappointed with the outcome but isn't giving up the legal battle just yet, noting that various Internet services are at risk if the order isn't successfully challenged.
Earlier this year, Germany's largest ISPs agreed to voluntarily block pirate sites as part of a deal they struck with copyright holders. These blockades, which are put in place following a thorough vetting process, are generally implemented on the DNS level. This is a relatively easy option, as all ISPs have their own DNS resolvers.
DNS (un)Blocking
DNS blocking is also easy to circumvent, however. Instead of using the ISPs' DNS resolvers, subscribers can switch to alternatives such as Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS, and Quad9. This relatively simple change will render the ISPs' blocking efforts useless.
This workaround is widely known, also by copyright holders. As such, it may not be a surprise that a few weeks after the German blocking agreement was reached, Sony Music obtained an injunction that requires DNS-resolver Quad9 to block a popular pirate site .
A blocking order against a DNS resolver is quite unusual and the Swiss-based non-profit organization Quad9 swiftly announced that it would appeal the verdict. The foundation stressed that it doesn't condone piracy but believes that enforcing blocking measures through third-party intermediaries is a step too far.
Court Upholds Site Blocking Order
Quad9 repeated these and other arguments at the Regional Court in Hamburg, asking it to overturn the injunction. After reviewing the input from both sides, the Court chose to uphold the site-blocking requirements.
The name of the targeted site remains redacted but the legal paperwork mentions that the unnamed site links to pirated music. We previously deduced that Canna.to is the likely target, as that site was already part of the ISPs' voluntary blocking agreement when the proceeding was initiated.
Having lost its first appeal, Quad9 notes that it will continue to block the site, as required by the injunction. The non-profit is disappointed with the Court's decision but announced that it will continue its appeal at a higher court. Quad9's General Manager John Todd said:
[We] will continue to pursue our legal fight against what we think is an outcome that threatens the very core of the Internet's ability to be a useful and trusted tool for everyone. Corporations should not have the ability to directly demand that network infrastructure operators censor sites.

John Platt Dunn III was a pioneering Bismarck businessman and pharmacist, and father to the pioneering Doctor Fannie Quain. He opened one of Bismarck's first businesses in 1872 and North Dakota's first drug store. He also was Bismarck's mayor and one of Burleigh County's first commissioners.
Dunn was born in 1839 on a farm in Indiana, which is now the site of Indiana University Hospital. He fought with the Union during the Civil War with his cousin, General George P. Buell (who later is the namesake of Dunn's grandson).
He married Christina Seely from New Brunswick, Canada in 1872, the same year the pair relocated to the new town of Edwinton (now Bismarck). Upon arriving, he became aquainted with fellow businessman Asa Fisher and established a general store immediately next door to Fisher's new billiard hall on Main Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. It was one of Bismarck's first businesses.
It's unclear whether Dunn's store was a drug store upon inception, but it had a druggist classification by 1873, making it the first drug store in what is now North Dakota.
Dunn's wife, Christina, owned the first sewing machine in the new town, which presented them with the opportunity to sell locally made dresses and hats from their general store.
The Dunn store was destroyed by the 1877 fire that swept through downtown Bismarck. With about a week Instead, Dunn purchased and relocated the former Congregational Church to re-open on the same site.
Dunn was one of Burleigh County's first commissioners when it was formed in 1873, and he was elected mayor in 1884.
Howard County was renamed Dunn County in 1883 for John Dunn.
Dunn's daughter, Doctor Fannie Quain, also left a lasting legacy in her own right.


The Skills 4 Work project is funded by the Irish National Agency (Leargas) under the new Erasmus + Programme.
The project aims to improve work experience pathways for VET students by creating and validating a Work Based Learning implementation model engaging VET organisations and business. The emphasis is on learning from each other's experience and engaging in a real dialogue with employers by developing the model in close collaboration with local enterprises. Through practical implementation of different work based learning approaches and feedback from enterprises, the project will develop hands-on implementation guidelines that will improve significantly the quality of work experience for both the VET students and enterprises in partner countries. The project will benefit VET teachers by creating CPD materials and transnational transfer of good practice through joint peer learning events organised as part of the CPD.

Q: Refresh MySql Query Periodically I am trying to use ajax (very much a novice in that area) and/or jquery to refresh a div with my mysql query results. My index.php looks something like this:

$( document ).ready(function() {
(function showscreen() {
   $.ajax({
    url: 'screen.php',
    success: function(data) {
       $('#screen').html(data);
    },
    complete: function() {

      setTimeout(showscreen, 5000);
    }
  });
})();
});

<?php

require '../dbauth/videos.inc.php';
//This handles my db connections.

$videosdbhandle = mysql_connect(

$videoshostname,
$videosusername,
$videospassword

) or die("INVALID USERNAME OR PASSWORD");

$videosselected = mysql_select_db($videosdbname, $videosdbhandle);

$checkvideosql = "SELECT * FROM videos ORDER BY votes DESC";
$checkvideoquery = mysql_query($checkvideosql, $videosdbhandle);
$checkvideocount = mysql_num_rows($checkvideoquery);

if ($checkvideocount > 0) {

$count = 0;

while ($checkvideocount > $count) {

$thevideoname = mysql_result($checkvideoquery, $count, "name");
$thevideovideo = mysql_result($checkvideoquery, $count, "video");
$thevideoid = mysql_result($checkvideoquery, $count, "id");
$thevideoimage = mysql_result($checkvideoquery, $count, "image");

    echo '
';

    echo '<video loop muted autoplay
poster="http://backcurrents.com/videos/';
    echo $thevideoname;
    echo '/';
    echo $thevideovideo;
    echo '" class="videobg">
    <source src="http://backcurrents.com/videos/';
    echo $thevideoname;
    echo '/';
    echo $thevideovideo;
    echo '" type="video/mp4">
    </video>';
    echo '
';

$count++;
}

}else{

echo 'NO VIDEOS!';

}

?>

and then my screen.php looks something like this:
$videosusername = "theusername";
$videospassword = "thepassword";
$videoshostname = "localhost";
$videosdbname = "thedbname";

$videosdbhandle = mysql_connect(

$videoshostname,
$videosusername,
$videospassword

) or die("INVALID SHOW NAME OR PASSWORD");

$videosselected = mysql_select_db($videosdbname, $videosdbhandle);

$checkhighestvideosql = "SELECT * FROM videos ORDER BY votes DESC";
$checkhighestvideoquery = mysql_query($checkhighestvideosql,
$videosdbhandle);
$checkhighestvideocount = mysql_num_rows($checkhighestvideoquery);

if ($checkhighestvideocount > 0) {
$x=0;

while ($checkhighestvideocount > $x) {

$checkhighestvideoid = mysql_result($checkhighestvideoquery, $x, "id");

if ($x=0) {

echo '';

}else{
echo '';
}

$x++;
 }

}else{
echo "NO VIDEOS!";
}

All I am trying to do is refresh my mysql query every 5 seconds but nothing is appearing in the div that the screen.php is supposed to. I have tried several different iterations of this, and error checked that my ajax code is firing by simply placing: echo "TEST TEXT"; in my screen.php, and that works. any time I insert a mysql query into the screen.php, nothing appears. Is there a better method than this to acheive what I am trying to? I basically have a voting system built into a mysql database which stores votes. the video with the most votes gets played onto in the index.php file im building.

Helene I. Baker
June 02, 1924 ‒ October 30, 2020
In Helene I.'s Memory
Thursday, Nov 05, 2020 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Charles G Bjore,Jr says:
To the Baker Boys,
Gone from this world, but forever in our hearts and our memories. Many of us have at least one afghan made by your Mother, Helene, as a forever gift.
As families, we experienced yearly trips to Cedar Point, packing coolers for the picnic area. She never rode the rides, but instead tolerated the long lines, people watching while sitting on the many benches in the park. Moving only to wait, for a long line at the next ride.
She made every Christmas memorable with a special gift for each in our family. We will always remember the many hours, several crowded around the small kitchen table, playing "Screw your neighbor" and 'Bus ride" well into the late hours.
I am happy to have been able to have co-purchase her long time residence. It feels like it has been kept "in the family".
Chuck Bjore, Jr., Tucson, Az
Dana (Landis) Mattison says:
Bruce and Laurie and the Baker family-Ma will be missed. Helene knew most of us our entire adult lives. You could expect a truly genuine smile when you walked up to her. She was a sweetheart! D

When Meghan and Harry REALLY broke baby news to royals revealed - after backlash against 'cruel' timing
Reports they told the Queen at Eugenie's wedding have been refuted
Nicola OakleyHead of Audience
It's been a busy week for the royal family with a huge wedding closely followed by a pregnancy announcement.
Kensington Palace announced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child just three days after Princess Eugenie's wedding.
But it's believed the couple had already told the royal family about their happy news - and something about the timing made lots of people very angry.
There were reports that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told relatives about the pregnancy at Eugenie's wedding, leading social media users to criticise the 'cruel' timing.'
A photograph of Harry talking to the Queen, while touching his stomach, fuelled rumours (Image: AFP/Getty Images)
'Real reason' Meghan Markle's best friend is joining her on royal tour in Australia
One wrote: "Turns out Prince Harry and Meghan told the rest of the Royal family they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding on Friday. Brutal."
Another said: "The only thing I will say about the announcement about Harry and Meghan's imminent baby is that it seems a little horrid that they told the family at Eugenie's wedding on Friday.
"Talk about raining on her parade!"
However, it seems that those reports were unfounded and most of the major royals actually knew about the pregnancy before the wedding - including the happy couple.
According to Bazaar.com , a source said that "Harry and Meghan did not break the news to their family at the wedding.
"The Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and Eugenie and Jack all knew about Meghan's pregnancy before the wedding, but hadn't seen the Sussexes in person until Friday - making the wedding the first time these members of the royal family could congratulate the couple in person."

It is not known whether Prince William and Kate Middleton knew about the pregnancy ahead of time, but given how close the couple are to Harry and his wife, it is likely they would have shared the news.
It's thought the rest of the royal family were not aware of the pregnancy before Eugenie's wedding.
This pregnancy revelation explains the story behind several photographs and videos from the wedding of Harry and Meghan chatting to his relatives, who would likely be congratulating them for the first time.
In one image Harry bends down to talk to his grandmother, the Queen, while Meghan smiles behind him.
The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to all be "delighted for the couple".

Move over, 007. MGM Home Entertainment is set to release Troll 2 on October 5, in a BD/DVD combo "20th Anniversary Nilbog Edition". This 1990 low-budget horror film about man-eating goblins, currently number 64 on the IMDB Bottom 100, recently shot back to fame after the release of the documentary Best Worst Movie. Special features have not been revealed.
Those greedy goblins are back and hungrier than ever in this gourmet gross-out! Disguised as friendly country folk, a pugnacious posse of people-eating trolls lures visitors to their town. But a family of four is about to discover this place is a real tourist trap...and they're the prey! Now, the no-good gnomes must be destroyed before the family gets flambéed...and the world becomes a buffet in this feeding frenzy of fear!
I wish this will make an appearance at the Second Annual Shock Till You Drop. Since it found a new audience. I'll be picking this up in the near future.
FYI-TROLL 2 and its making-of documentary BEST WORST MOVIE will both be showing at the all-night horrorthon in Yellow Springs two weeks before this year's Shock Around the Clock. Organizer Zack McGhee has been a stalwart supporter of our Marathon, so if you have the chance head on down there and check out his event.
@Joe thanks for the info I am thinking ROAD TRIP!!
For people who couldn't get to Yellow Springs why not try to get Troll 2 and the Doc for the horror thon?

The Most Underrated Companies to Follow in the social security san angelo Industry
San Angelo has a large population that is comprised of immigrants from all over the world. These people have different values from the country they came from and different cultures that they are exposed to. Many of them feel a sense of pride in their culture and heritage and they live in harmony with their surrounding.
The San Angelo population is largely made up of Hispanic residents. You may think that this is all good, but many of the immigrants are not aware that their actions towards the city may have an impact on the residents of other areas. For example, when a local resident does not pay their taxes or does not pay their taxes on time, that could have an impact on the welfare of other areas.
It's a sad state of affairs when one of the largest cities in America is the only place where most of the immigrants are unaware of the impact their actions may have on the surrounding area. In fact, it's a sad state of affairs if you are one of the only people of color living in the city.
Of course, this is not the primary reason why we're talking about this topic. It's just important to note that San Angelo is a very large city and that its residents have a strong impact on the residents of other areas.
So San Angelo has a very high percentage of immigrants and a low percentage of natives. Most of the population is black, with only a small percentage of white residents. In fact, it is mostly black residents who live in the city. These black residents are the ones who have a large impact on the lives of other residents which leads to the high percentage of immigrants within the city.
The big point here is that they are not the only ones who have a strong impact on the population. These other residents are the ones who are the most impacted by the big changes. They are the ones who have a great deal of control over the city. Also, the community has a strong influence on the population, and the most powerful of the people can be the ones who drive the cars that are the most powerful.
This is a good point. People of these types have a tremendous advantage over the other residents, as they can drive the cars, and they have more control over the population, which means they can affect more people in more ways. In reality, though, these individuals are not necessarily a benefit to the city, as they are not necessarily the people who are most connected to the city. They are more likely to be connected to the city because they have greater influence on the city's population.
In reality, though, these individuals are not necessarily a benefit to the city, as they are not necessarily the people who are most connected to the city. They are more likely to be connected to the city because they have greater influence on the citys population.
If you're looking for a way to make your own city seem more connected to the city, there are some things that you could do. In this context, I think you could probably think of some strategies that you could use to reduce the number of people into city-wide citizen-people. One of these would be to make the city more connected to one person. That would actually help to control the number of people in the city.
One of the best things you can do is make the city more connected to the city. It would be much easier for a number of people to form a community than to be citizens. It would also help that the city is more connected to the people of the city.

We were introduced to Esteban del Valle's remarkable talents a number of years back at 5Pointz. We've since seen his deftly crafted artwork in Bushwick, the Lower East Side, Red Hook, Welling Court and recently at the 21st Precinct Art Exhibit. And in addition to forging his own artwork, Esteban has been sharing his skills and vision with youth this past summer in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Last week, the mural created by 17 young men in Groundswell's Summer Leadership Institute, along with Esteban and his assistant artist, Jose de Jesus Rodriguez, was officially unveiled. Located at 417 Junius Street on the wall of the Food Bazaar Supermaket, it represents the best possible model for public art. At the mural's dedication ceremony, I had the opportunity to find out from Esteban a bit more about this particular project, P. I. C. T. U. R. E. S Prison Industrial Complex: Tyranny Undermining Rights, Education and Society.
This mural is quite amazing. When did you begin working on it?
We began on July 2nd.
Can you tell us something about the process?
We spent the first two weeks researching the issue, discussing the justice system and designing our representation of it. The final four weeks were devoted to painting the mural.
It's of particular relevance to this community. We see this mural as a way to raise awareness and provoke discussion about the subject of the prison industrial complex. Some of the youth involved in this all-male Making His'tory mural team have had first-hand experience with the way the justice system functions.
How have the young muralists responded to this project?
The response has been great. We've had many intense discussions and we can all walk away with a sense of accomplishment.
What has this experience been like for you, personally?
It was very exciting. And it was great for all of us to see an idea executed into a reality.
Have you any personal message?
With these tools (pen and paint brush in hand), you can change your life and your community.
Elijah Barrington, one of the project's participants, added the following to our conversation: We sweated every day to get this wall to look the way we wanted it to. I felt focused and happy, and I learned so much. I'm already looking forward to the next project.
Currently based in Brooklyn, Chicago native Esteban del Valle is an interdisciplinary artist whose public artworks have surfaced in NYC, as well as in Chicago, IL, San Antonio, TX, and Kansas City, MO. We first came upon his extraordinary work at 5Pointz in Long Island City, Queens.
When and where did first get up?
I was in junior high school back in Chicago when I did my first tag on a school bench. I was soon hitting the back of K-Mart and piecing under nearby bridges.
What inspired you to hit the streets? Have you any early graffiti memories?
Back in Chicago, did you paint alone or were you part of a crew?
Both. Just about all the guys I went to school with were into hip-hop. We called ourselves FYM (Free Your Mind).
What percentage of your time these days is devoted to art?
Is art, then, the main source of your income?
Yes, I sell studio work. I do commissions and I work for Groundswell, an organization that engages youth in creating community murals.
They're fine as long as what I do is legal.
I love both. But what I especially love about street art is that it inspires people to take to the streets to do more than just their names.
It's fine. Artists need to make a living from their work. But once it's in a gallery, it isn't "street art" any more.
For the same reason public intellectuals are valued in Europe. There's a greater appreciation of culture, in general. And the Europeans have different notions of public space.
It's great. It makes art accessible to so many.
I have a BFA in Art History and Painting from Southern Illinois University and a Masters Degree in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Innovative music and performance art are my main inspirations. The Mars Volta and Geo Wyeth come to mind.
Hip-hop and Chicago's rich mural culture.
Do you work with a sketch-in-hand or just let it flow?
I don't like to work from sketches. I'd rather sketch on a wall. But much of what I do has to be pre-approved, and so I need to have a basic drawing of what I plan to paint.
Yes. I push it until I feel satisfied.
I've begun to develop my own language. I'm more experimental and I'm more about moving to do what challenges me.
Many. Among them are: Carrie Moyer, Haig Aivazian, Jayson Musson, Trenton Doyle Hancock and Dave McKenzie.
What about those who work in public spaces?
Os Gemeos and Poser aka Pose MSK are among my favorites.
To challenge and to contribute to the collective thought.
More art. More income from art. More traveling and, generally, doing what I want to do.


WhatsApp was created with all the noble intention to easily connect people worldwide. However, in the past few months, the downside to WhatsApp's popularity has become quite evident. WhatsApp Groups have emerged as a lethal gun firing bullets in the form of fake news that have claimed over 30 innocent lives in the country.
The fact that the messaging app is free, convenient to use and end-to-end-encrypted has made it ideal for large groups, who can function with partial anonymity. Thus making them a very powerful tool. With this immense power, also comes the need for accountability and greater responsibility.
At the outset, there appears to be very little that the Facebook-owned company can actually do to prevent the violence that is being spread through WhatsApp Groups.
*The option to block people. It also prompts unknown senders with an option to either block or add the contact on WhatsApp.
* Feature to prevent users from from adding others back into groups which they left.
* Group admins can decide and even restrict other member from sending texts in a particular group.
* The "Forwarded" label feature allows users to know if the message has being written or forwarded.
* WhatsApp has also rolled out a "Digital Literacy" to educate users on fake news. It is also working with fact checking firms and news companies to fight fake news.
But are all these steps enough to not make WhatsApp groups less deadly? Doesn't appear so. This is as it takes time for the people to be digitally literate. The war on fake news war too is not easy. The option to block users or their messages being labelled as "Forwarded" too can get very little results.
As for the feature of demoting group admins or restricting members from sending messages in groups. The problem is that we tend to get egoistic about these things and very few admins may think of using this tool fearing "ego wars" among group members.
Also, WhatsApp needs to understand that some groups are purposely created to spread hate and violence. So, none of the above controls will work at all in such cases.
So, is drastically limiting maximum group members the only immediate solution?
Currently, on WhatsApp you can create a group with 256 members. Interestingly, there's a hack to even add more group members. Now, do you really need so many people in one group? The answer is both yes and no. Of course, for rogue usage, the answer is no. But then there are WhatsApp groups for police, hospital, journalists and others that need a higher group member limit.
So, to keep a check WhatsApp should put in some framework which makes document verification mandatory for people wanting to create large groups. This will help ensure accountability of large WhatsApp groups.
For the general public, the WhatsApp group members limit should be restricted to maximum 25. This limit is enough for day-to-day usage of most users.
Especially since WhatsApp claims that the majority of messages are shared between single person to person accounts. The company further says that around 25 percent users in India are not part of any group and also that most groups are smaller than 10 members. If this is the case, then WhatsApp can easily restrict the maximum member limit of groups.


The anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral talocalcaneal ligaments and portion of the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament are components of the cervical ligament.
The interosseous talocalcaneal ligament (ligament of the tarsal canal) originates from the sulcus of the calcaneus at the anterior boundary of the posterior talocalcaneal joint and connects the medial underside of the sustentaculum tali. It is a broad, flat, oblique, and medially oriented band.
The lateral talocalcaneal liga ment emerges from the inferior surface of the lateral talar process. The lateral talocalcaneal ligament follows a parallel path with the calcaneofibular ligament, connects to the lateral and posterior side of the calcaneus. It is generally just anterior and slightly medial to the insertion of the calcaneofibular ligament.
Posterior talocalcaneal ligament emerges from the lateral surface and tip of the posterolateral talar tubercle and inserts on the superior and medial aspect of the os calcis. The posterior talocalcaneal ligament is a small, flat, quadrilateral ligament directed downward and sideways. It may also offer insertion to the fibrous roof of the flexor hallucis longus tunnel. At the talar origin, the posterior talocalcaneal ligament may swap fi-bers with the posterior talofibular ligament. Sometimes the posterior talocalcaneal ligament is formed by two fascicles. The lateral band, extends downward and medially, and inserts on the dorsum of the os calcis, while emerges from the posterolateral tubercle. The medial band emerges from the posteromedial talar tubercle, enters on the superomedial aspect of the os calcis next to the insertion of the lateral band, and extends downward and laterally. A "V" shape formation is formed by two fascicles with a calcaneal apex and talar base.
The posterior talocalcaneal ligament initiates from os trigonnium and forms a trigonocalcaneal ligament, when an os trigonum exists.
Medial talocalcaneal courses anteriorly and inferiorly, and inserts on the posterior border of the sustentaculum tali and it originates from the talar posteromedial tubercle. The medial talocalcaneal ligament is a short and strong ligament. It limits posteroinferiorly the medial opening of the tarsal canal. A second band originating from the same site but directed downward and posteriorly may be present. This band completes the groove lodging the flexor hallucis tendon and inserts posterior to the sustentaculum tali.

Northwest to Seattle, Part 3
Northwest to Seattle
Upon deplaning I took the train to the main terminal and followed the sign towards the courtesy shuttles. It was a rather brisk evening, although I came from Florida where it was a cool 18F that morning (I kid you not), so it wasn't that bad, relatively speaking. After waiting for about 20 minutes and seeing shuttles from virtually every hotel except mine (Hilton Garden Inn Seattle/Renton), I gave the hotel a call to see how often the shuttle runs, something I should have probably looked into before.
I was informed by the front desk agent that the shuttle stops running at 10 PM and that I should take a cab which should cost no more than $15. Shoot, I'm an idiot for not checking the website earlier, where it clearly states that. I assumed it would run until later, since 11 PM is as busy of a time as any at SEA, with tons of arrivals from the east coast. Based on the arrivals hall you would have thought it's the busiest time of day, actually.
I tried to find the cab line, although it was nowhere to be found. I eventually saw one legitimate-looking cab, which I took. Unfortunately, the ride ended up costing $25 (including tip) instead of $15, and even worse I didn't exactly feel safe, since the cab driver was fumbling around in the front for nearly the whole ride, and I didn't know what he was looking for. Had I known about the lack of a shuttle I would have stayed at either the Hilton or the Doubletree, since they were only slightly more expensive and had 24-hour shuttles.
At check-in I had the most cheery agent I've ever seen. I guess it takes a certain type to work the night shift at a hotel, and he certainly was that type. He just wouldn't shut up and was so overly enthusiastic that I had to just walk away as soon as I got my keys. For example, he said something like "Did you want your complimentary bottle of super-duper spring water from our well-stocked pantry now or did you want it delivered to your room later on?" While I might have appreciated his humor about 12 hours earlier in the day, it was too late. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude!
My room was located on the fourth floor and was nice, actually. Considering I paid $90/night and get free breakfast as a Gold along with free internet access, not to mention the 7,000+ points and 2,000 BMI miles I earned, it was a steal.
The room had a flat-screen TV and was quite "fresh" looking, so no complaints there.
After getting some work done I finally made it to bed at around 1:30 AM. What a day!
The next morning I had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, which didn't exactly serve what I would consider a "full American breakfast." All of the buffet stuff was "continental," and the menu selection was limited.
Lobby/restaurant
I ordered a waffle for breakfast, which was fine.
There's not really anything else of interest to report about the hotel, other than that the employees were friendly overall, so I would probably return as long as I didn't have a flight arriving late at night.
The real reason for this trip was to visit Boeing, thanks to an awesome person that managed to organize this tour. On Friday we made a trip to Renton to tour the 737 line, and on Saturday morning we made a trip to Everett to see the 777 line along with the 787.
Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures, but it was awesome nonetheless. The 737 line in Renton was incredible. It's amazing that 737's are built in a mere 10 days, and it's literally an assembly line. The building they're made in is huge, which goes without saying considering that they line up 10 737's nose-to-tail for production. Incredible.
Everett was also amazing. As we drove up I could immediately tell it was aviation geek heaven. On the ramp were probably a dozen brand new 777's from Air Canada, V Australia, Singapore, and many more. As we went into the hangar we got to see how 777's are made, from the wings to the fuselage. Walking so close to such massive beasts was amazing, and really puts into perspective just how big these planes are.
Of course, the highlight was seeing the 787. What a sleek plane! I can't wait to see it in the skies.
I spent the rest of the weekend catching up on sleep. The only other eventful part of my stay was Saturday morning, where I had to get to downtown. I decided to take the bus from the mall, which the hotel shuttle drives to. The shuttle bus driver was quite possibly the most interesting human being I've ever come in contact with. He spilled his whole life story in the ten-minute ride, including the fact that he has been married for 25 years, only to correct himself and say that he's not really married but is as good as married, minus the "I do" part….. only to correct himself and say he's in a relationship but neither partner is particularly loyal. Wow, talk about details!
As if that wasn't exciting enough, waiting at the bus station at 6 AM on Saturday morning in Renton was equally interesting. This was a bus station near a mall, so naturally, it's going to be shady at that time on a Saturday. What I didn't expect, however, was a grown man barking and growling like a dog for the better part of 15 minutes while waiting for the bus, and also for the entire bus ride. Oh, the joys of public transportation (and people with problems).
More to come on my return flight shortly.

United Biscuits confirms national biscuit shortage
By William Axtell 2016-02-05T00:00:00+00:00
United Biscuits (UB), which owns the McVitie's, Jacobs and Go Ahead brands, has admitted the flooding of its Carlisle factory has resulted in a nationwide shortage of its biscuits.
The factory was struck by floods in December as a result of Storm Desmond, which shut down production of all the biscuits produced there. The shortage has affected lines including McVitie's Ginger Nuts and Carr's Water Biscuits, as their production has yet to restart, and stocks of the lines are dwindling.
So far, only production of the McVitie's Gold biscuit bar has resumed. Customers are now struggling to get hold of many other Carlisle-produced biscuits.
Responding to the suggestion that UB was running low on stock, John Eggleton, managing director at UB, said: "Yes, it's not a rumour, it's true."
He added: "We've got Carr's being sold on Ebay, the last few packs.
"Everyone's very sympathetic but it's also very upsetting not to be able to make Ginger Nuts and other products but we'll be back."
He added that the factory should be back up and running in a couple of months.
Ted Linehan, savoury biscuits marketing director, said: "It's always hard work, we've been there for the best part of two centuries and we've got no intention of changing that."
Although flood defences had been put in place after a similar flood at the site in 2005, they proved unable to keep the flood water out and the company said it was planning better defences to keep the water out in the event of future floods. Despite this, Linehan said that the previous experience had taugh the company much and said: "We'll get back up and running more quickly this time than the last time."
He added that UB had tried to source other products to fill the gap but that had not always been possible, in the case of Carr's Water Biscuits due to the unique brick ovens at Carlisle which gave the product its distinctive characteristics.
In a statement, UB said: "Due to floods in Carlisle we are experiencing a shortage of a number of products under the McVitie's, Jacob's, Carr's and Crawford's brands. We apologise if consumers are finding it difficult to get hold of some of these products and we are working hard at our Carlisle site to resume normal service as soon as possible."
The statement continued: "We currently have 400 United Biscuits employees, contractors and suppliers working back at our factory site supporting the clean-up process, the engineering rebuild of damaged equipment and resuming factory production is an absolute priority for us. Our trade customers are being kept informed of the progress of all affected products."

, literally translated "Germans of the ", is an archaic term for those ethnic Germans who resided within the German state that was founded in 1871. In contemporary usage, it referred to German citizens, the word signifying people from the German , i.e., Imperial Germany or , which was the official name of Germany between 1871 and 1949.

The opposite of the  is, then, depending on context and historical period, ,  (however, usually meaning German citizens living abroad), or a more specific term denoting the area of settlement, such as Baltic Germans or Volga Germans ().

Term
The key problem with the terms , ,  (of German descent, as to citizenship or ethnicity), and related ones is that the usage of the words often depends on context, i.e. who uses them where and when.  There are, in that sense, no general legal or "right" definitions, although during the 20th century, all terms acquired legal — yet also changing — definitions.

The reason for the differentiation is that there has been a historical shift in the meaning of what belonging to a nation means.  Until the early 19th century, a demonym such as "German" — apart from the  vernacular — was not too meaningful, although at least since the German Campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, the concept certainly existed. If anything, it was more seen as a cultural concept. The idea of a , as advocated by philosophers like  (1744–1803) and  (1762–1814), includes German first language, religion (in different forms), and already sometimes German origin, descent or race in a vague sense.

With the 1871 unification of Germany under Prussian leadership, the concept of the German people first acquired a legal-political meaning, which they have retained until now. However, the German Empire as a "Lesser German" answer to the German Question, did not encompass more than two thirds of the German  (language area). For someone who considered themselves German but living abroad, e.g., in multi-ethnic Austria-Hungary,  meant any German who was a citizen of the German , as opposed to someone living abroad (and usually without a German passport). Part of the identity of ethnic German minorities living abroad — a classic example are the Baltic Germans — was to define themselves as German, using the pre-1871 concept. However,  visiting the Russian Baltic governorates in the late 19th century, for instance, resented the claims of the Baltic Germans to be German — for the Germans from the Reich, to be German meant to be a German citizen, while for the Baltic Germans, it meant cultural-historical belonging.

It was however not until the German nationality law () of 1913 finally established the citizenship of the German Reich, whereas earlier political rights (including the claim to receive identity papers and passports) derived from one's citizenship of one of the States of the German Empire. The citizens of some German states comprised also autochthonous or immigrant ethnic minorities of other than German ethnicity, which is why citizens of the German Empire always also comprised people of other ethnicity than the German (e.g. Danish, French, Frisian, Polish, Romani, Sorbian etc.). German citizenship is passed on from parent to child () whatever their ethnicity is. With naturalisation of aliens as German citizens, however, their eventual German ethnicity formed or still forms an advantage under certain circumstances (see ).

In Nazi Germany, the  of 1935, part of the Nuremberg Laws established the legal status of , i.e. German citizens "of German or congeneric blood". As a result, Jews and "" officially became second-class citizens.

After World War II and the establishment of the West German Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, the analogous terms  (i.e., Federal Germans) and  (i.e., Federal citizens) were colloquially used to distinguish  citizens from people entitled to German citizenship, but as a matter of fact unwilling or unable to exercise it, such as citizens of East Germany () and East Berlin, or of the Saar Protectorate.

Usually if one sofa is more costly than another it's usually since it's better quality and will last longer than the more affordable sofa. Purchasing a new sofa doesn't have to be hard work and by obeying the above mentioned tips should produce the experience a more enjoyable one. It's not advised that you buy a white colored distressed sofa.
You don't need to acquire a sofa which is too big for the room, as it is only going to create the room appear smaller than it already is. Sectional sofas are at present readily available for purchase on the internet, and you can have them shipped right to your home without delay. They are made for especially large rooms and designed to seat up to 8-10 adults at one time. They are designed to save space, and to create a huge feeling in that living space that you are decorating. They do indeed give your home the advantage of beauty and style, as well as giving it a complete look. The sectional sofa is one which can be connected to a centerpiece that will then connect to some other part of the couch. Discount sectional sofas are an excellent buy since they're not marked down since they are poor quality or anything, it's only because they're older or discontinued models, and there's not anything wrong with that.

Q: New to Java & Series I'm brand new to Java & series (summing up no.s in a certain way using Java).
The user needs to input n (a positive even integer). This can be 0, 2, 4, and any increment of 2 above.
If I put in 4, Java must calculate 2 + 4 = 6. If I put in 6, Java must calculate 2 + 4 + 6 = 12. Java needs to sum numbers as follows for an input n... 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + n = some sum. I wanted to see how this can be done by a loop. The following was an attempt of mine. We just assume the user will put in a positive even integer like 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 & so on (so we don't have to test for that).
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
int sum = 0, n;
System.out.println("Give me a positive even integer.");
n = console.nextInt();

while (sum < n) {
    sum = sum + 2;
}

System.out.println(sum);

Again, the point is to sum from 2 up until the positive even number given by the user.

A: Your loop condition (sum < n) is incorrect since sum will very soon be greater than the final term value n.
But, You can do this without a loop:
sum = n / 2 * (2 + (n / 2 - 1))

Where n is even and positive as you describe. This comes from the formula for an arithmetic progression sum.
If you really want to use a for loop then use
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 2; i <= n; i += 2){
    sum += i;
}

or, if you want a while then use
int sum = 0;
{ /*extra scoping block so we don't emit i*/
    int i = 0;
    while ((i += 2) <= n){
        sum += i;
    }
}

noting that (i += 2) is an expression evaluated to the incremented value of i.

A: Try it this way:
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
try {
    System.out.println("Give me a positive even integer.");
    int n = console.nextInt() / 2;
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) sum += 2 * i;
    System.out.println(sum);
} finally { console.close(); }

Besides: it handles odd numbers as well and releases the console, which is a resource.

A: Right now, your code adds always 2 to the sum. However, you want to add numbers that are increased by 2. So basically, you need another variable counting the current element in the series 2, 4, 6 you are at.
int index = 2;
while( index <= n ) {
    sum = sum + index;
    index = index + 2;
}


Washington, DC —Today, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, alongside Senator Kamala Harris (CA) and Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), have announced that they will introduce groundbreaking new legislation to improve the lives of domestic workers and transform the way people work in America.
The first ever national Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, which will be officially introduced early in the 116th Congress, will provide basic labor protections to more than two million nannies, house cleaners, and care workers across the country, while developing innovations for the future of one of the fastest growing occupations in the country.
Domestic workers, who are overwhelmingly women of color and majority immigrants, face systematically low pay, rampant sexual harassment, and a lack of benefits. Since the 1930's, in a legacy rooted in the history of slavery and devaluing of women's work, domestic workers, along with farmworkers, have been excluded from many basic labor laws.
Close legal loopholes excluding domestic workers from certain federal labor and civil rights laws.
Create new benefits and protections for domestic workers.
Encourage innovative solutions to address the unique challenges of domestic work.
Create new tools to ensure that these rights are real and that workers can exercise their rights without fear.
National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) is the leading voice for dignity and fairness for millions of domestic workers in the United States, majority of whom are immigrants and women of color. NDWA is powered by over 60 affiliate organizations and local chapters and by a growing membership base of nannies, house cleaners and care workers in over 20 states. Learn more about the domestic workers movement on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

nick | Feb 11, 2016 |Giveaway, Mac Miller, |Contests, Events
As the year moves along we are starting to gear up for America's festival season once again, which kicks off even earlier this year thanks to one of the newest festivals on the block.
As you may know, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is taking place in Florida over March 4th, 5th and 6th in Okeechobee Florida, centrally located, not far from Orlando and West Palm Beach and only a few hours from Miami. Okeechobee was founded by one of the original members of the Bonnaroo team, who left to speerhead this project, and he seems to have brought some of the magic along. The festival, which is set to draw over 30,000 people for it's inaugural year, has an incredibly curated lineup and unique signature areas sprawled across a beautiful natural landscape.
The music curation couldn't be more on point with electronic heavy hitters including Skrillex, Bassnectar, ODESZA and Big Gigantic to hip-hop stars like Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Future and Miguel and even some big live acts like Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, amongst many many more. They also recently revealed that it will be the first US music festival that is going to have music 24 hours a day. The Jungle stage, dubbed Jungle 51, will feature the best tech house and deep house from around the world playing from sunset to sunrise all 4 nights of the festival.
We couldn't be more excited to announce that we've partnered with the festival and Mac Miller to hook two lucky readers up with the chance to go to the festival in style. The two winners will not only get 2 VIP tickets to the festival (which includes special VIP camping, viewing areas, lounges, and more) but will also receive a travel credit as well as a meet and greet with Mac Miller and side-stage access to Mac's show.

How Exactly the Tire Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS) Works on Ford Vehicles.
TPMS Working on Ford Vehicles.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is to monitors the air pressure of all 4 tires.
This System is mostly seen in latest model newly manufactured vehicles.
This complete system works and gets operated by frequency signals.
The wheel-mounted tire pressure sensors transmit the radio frequency signals.This signals go to the smart junction box, also known as SJB. TPMS functionality is integral to the SJB.
These transmissions signal report are sent approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph).
The purpose of he TPMS is to compare each tire pressure sensor transmission against a low-pressure limit. If it has been determined that the tire pressure has fallen below this limit, the SJB comes in action and starts its role of communicating this detail to the vehicle communication bus and that passes to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then illuminates the TPMS indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message center (if equipped).
NOTE:---- For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the Ford E-Series and certain Ford F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.It functions as mentioned in the procedure above.

Marking a big win for the privacy and civil liberties of immigrant communities, the Biden Administration recently rescinded a Trump-era proposed rule that would have massively expanded the collection of biometrics from people applying for an immigration benefit. Introduced in September 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposal would have mandated biometrics collection far beyond the status quo—including facial images, voice prints, iris scans, DNA, and even behavioral biometrics—from anyone applying for an immigration benefit, including immigrants and often their U.S. citizen and permanent resident family members.
The DHS proposed rule garnered more than 5,000 comments in response, the overwhelming majority of which opposed this unprecedented expansion of biometrics. Five U.S. Senators also demanded that DHS abandon the proposal.
EFF, joined by several leading civil liberties and immigrant rights organizations, submitted a comment that warned the proposal posed grave threats to privacy, in part because it permitted collection of far more data than needed to verify a person's identity and stored all data collected in the same place—amplifying the risk of future misuse or breach. EFF's comment also highlighted the burden on First Amendment activity, particularly because the breadth of sensitive biometrics required by the proposal could lay the groundwork for a vast surveillance network capable of tracking people in public places. That harm would disproportionately impact immigrants, communities of color, religious minorities, and other marginalized communities.
In its final days, the Trump Administration failed to finalize the proposed rule. Civil liberties and immigrant rights organizations, including EFF, pushed hard during the transition period to rescind it. Last month, the Biden Administration did just that.
The rescission of this dangerous proposal is important to protecting the privacy rights of immigrant communities. However, those rights have been continuously eroded, including a regulation enacted last year that mandates DHS to collect DNA from people in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody and enter it into the FBI's CODIS database. Recent reporting has shown this practice even more widespread than anticipated, with border officers relying on the regulation to collect DNA from asylum-seekers.
History has long shown that the surveillance we allow against vulnerable communities often makes its way to affecting the rest of the population. While the rescission of this proposed rule is a good first step, the battle for the privacy rights of immigrants—and for all of us—continues.

One of EFF's chief concerns about exam proctoring software—in addition to the fact that it subjects students to excessive surveillance—is the risk that it will incorrectly flag students for cheating, called "false positives." This can be due either to the software's technical failures or to its requirements that students...

WWE's Becky Lynch Pregnancy Update: See Seth Rollins' Reaction
Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch shocked the world by announcing her pregnancy with fiance Seth Rollins. Shortly before going public with the news that she and fiance are expecting their first child, Becky Lynch spoke about the pregnancy, when she found out and thoughts of a return down the road.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On wanting to get pregnant
Becky Lynch Pregnancy Update: How Did Seth Rollins React
"I've always, always wanted kids. I'm just so career-focused that it became one of those things that, when you're chasing a dream for so long, I always wondered, 'Am I going to get around to it? Is it going to happen for me?' When we got together, things started to look a lot clearer and I knew he was the person that I wanted to have kids with — that this was going to happen and it was just a matter of when.
Seth is one of the smartest people I know. He's just got an insane work ethic, insane integrity and he is the most generous, kindhearted person. He's very, very focused on what the right thing to do is and always looking to grow and correct himself and be better so he can be the best person for me, and now, the best father."

On finding out about the pregnancy in April
"I took the first one wrong. Then I took a few more tests until I got a digital one that just said the word 'Pregnant.' I was with Seth at the time and he just threw his hands up in the air, all excited! For the mom-to-be, the news came with a wealth of emotions. "Of course, you start to become nervous, too, because you've lived your whole life as thinking for yourself and yourself alone.
Now you have this whole other person that you have to look after and grow, and make sure that you're doing everything that you possibly can to make sure that they are the healthiest and the safest that they can be. But we're just so, so excited. Just so excited for how much love we're going to give that little thing.

"I don't know what the next chapter is because I only know what it's like to think for myself when I'm by myself. So I don't know what it'll look like and how my priorities shift and what I'm going to want in the future. So, everything's open."
On getting married

Tea Party Pins IRS to Mat with Reverse Alinsky
Tea Party groups have been wrestling with the IRS over tax exempt status for the last several years. You'd occasionally hear unsubstantiated stories about applications lost in the bureaucracy, inappropriate and invasive questions, and the like. IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman went so far as to categorically dispel such rumors by testifying before a Congressional hearing on March 22, 2012:
"There is absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back-and-forth that happens when people apply for 501(c)(4) status."
That, it turns out a year and two months later, was a complete lie. The IRS now admits it was intentionally targeting Tea Party, Patriot, and 9/12 Project (Glenn Beck) groups. Bombshell. Glenn Beck's balls just dropped.
Make no mistake, the Tea Party has managed to embroil the IRS in a huge scandal. David may not have slain Goliath, but this scandal is going to leave a mark. It's even possible some IRS officials may have to go to jail. Given that TEA stands for "taxed enough already" and the IRS is the national tax collection agency, this is a major coup for the Tea Party.
How did they do it? At first it would appear the Tea Party has taken its tactics out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, the left-wing radical organizing bible all the Tea Partiers ran out and bought after they heard the winning tactics of the 2008 Obama campaign were based on it. At first look, this seems to be textbook Rule 4:
4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
How it went down was simple. Local Tea Party groups around the country applied to the IRS for tax exemption under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code for "civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare."
Now, I know what you are going to say, that these Tea Party groups are involved in politics, and what does that have to do with social welfare? I'll spare you the lesson on how civics is about government, how we as citizens relate to it and each other, and how we relate to our elected officials. We're not talking talking about public charities under 501(c)(3) to which you can make tax-deductible contributions. What do you think a civic league is?
But don't listen to me, this is what the IRS itself says the criteria are for 501(c)(4) Social Welfare Organizations (emphasis added):
"Seeking legislation germane to the organization's programs is a permissible means of attaining social welfare purposes. Thus, a section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may further its exempt purposes through lobbying as its primary activity without jeopardizing its exempt status."
"Promoting social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, if an organization is organized exclusively to promote social welfare, it may still obtain exemption even if it participates legally in some political activity on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office. Political activities may not be the organization's primary activities, however."
That negative above in reference to political campaigns and candidates sounds discouraging but there is significant caveat:
"A section 501(c) organization can set up a separate segregated fund that will be treated as an independent political organization. The earnings and expenditures made by the separate fund will not be attributed to the section 501(c) organization."
Let's review. A 501(c)(4) can:
(A) Engage in lobbying as its primary purpose.
(B) Engage in some political activity on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office, so long as its primary purpose is lobbying.
(C) Create a separate segregated fund to function as an independent political organization.
So if your Tea Party group is going to hold meetings and rallies inviting people to hear discussion and speeches on civic affairs and public policy, engage in lobbying for your Tea Party viewpoints, and get involved in a few political campaigns, you're still eligible for a 501(c)(4) tax exemption. All the IRS had to do was review the documents and stamp them "Approved."
This is where the Tea Party pulled the Reverse Alinsky by directly contradicting Rules 2 and 3:
2. Never go outside the expertise of your people.
3. Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.
What did these Tea Party groups know about applications for tax exempt status? Nothing. What did the IRS know? Everything.

Adams Pointe, the city of Blue Springs' 18 hole Championship Golf Course, is located about 20 minutes east of downtown Kansas City in the rolling hills of Blue Springs, Missouri. A unique layout, skillfully carved out of woods and wetlands, superior playing conditions, and the friendly, professional staff consistently make Adams Pointe one of the premier choices for your Kansas City golf experience.
Just minutes from downtown Kansas City, Adams Pointe Golf Club's 18-hole Championship golf facility is set in the rolling hills of Blue Springs, Missouri. Designed by noted local architect, Don Sechrest, Adams Pointe is highly regarded in the Kansas City golf community for its layout and superior conditions. The course is skillfully carved out of forest and wetlands in the challenging front nine, while the back nine offers scenic links-style golf with dramatic elevation changes. Adams Pointe is definitely the talk of the town and annually regarded as a "premier place to play" in Kansas City.
Adams Pointe is also annually recognized for its' Environmental Excellence. The course annually achieves designation as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System. Adams Pointe was the eighth course in Missouri and the 472nd course in the world to receive this honor. To achieve this certification, Adams Pointe must maintain a high degree of environmental quality in the following areas: environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation, water quality management, and outreach and education. Adams Pointe truly brings meaning to 'Going Green'!
Our facility underwent major playing surface changes during the fall of 2004. Adams Pointe converted the fairways from Quickstand Bermuda to luxurious Bentgrass in all of our fairways and greens. The addition of Bentgrass has provided Adams Pointe with a more reliable and beautiful playing surface in the fairways—resulting in an overall better experience, for every player. Additionally, the over-seeding of Fescue into our rough in the fall of 2006 marked the final riddance of the existing Bermuda grass from the course. Consistent, year-round, playing conditions throughout the course are sure to vault Adams Pointe to the top of your favorites' list!
Above and beyond our superior course conditions and friendly staff, you are sure to enjoy our in-cart GPS system! This accurate and convenient yardage system assists pace of play, and allows you 'local knowledge' of the course..... even if it's your first round with us!
