He is undoubtedly the best spinner currently, I reckon. But is it possible to knock the bottle top by a cricket ball?
I,too, would like to see Bhajji on the top but the fact is He is terrible out of form at the moment. Its been quite sometimes now. If you are the strike bowler of your side, your work is not only to contend the batsman but to take wickets too.
@mrjinx64, it was not thrown by Warnie. Its been computerized.
@Joeblow, Nice examples to prove me wrong.
Chosen Answer:
It doesn't prove anything other than he got lucky with bowling the ball in the right spot.
I can remember when I was in high school we were at an indoor basketball court and I got a basketball up one end of the court and when no teacher was watching I just kicked it as far as I could up the other end of the court. I kicked it so that it landed in the hoop up the other end on the full without even touching the rim! It would have been about a 40+ metre kick with a basketball and to land it in the hoop without it even touching the rim would be a 1 in a million type shot. That doesn't mean I am the best kick of a basketball in the world. Also I kicked a football (Australia rules foortball that is) in the basketball court at school and I was deliberately aiming to kick it in the hoop and I landed it 3 times out of about 15 tries. If you know what an Australian rules football looks like, it takes a lot of control with the kick to get it to remain straight and spin the correct way to have a chance of going in the hoop. I am by no means the best kick of a football in fact I would be lucky to kick a goal from 30 metres out, but sometimes you can just fluke it.

Improving the Effectiveness of Fund Accounting (2004 and 2012)
. One important objective of external financial reporting is to help users assess accountability by "assisting in determining compliance with finance-related laws, rules, and regulations."
To achieve this goal, state and local governments organize and operate their accounting systems on a fund basis.
Accounting and financial reporting are complementary, yet distinct.
is the process of assembling, analyzing, classifying, and recording financial data and necessarily requires that data be maintained a high level of detail.
Financial reporting
, on the other hand, is the process of providing the information thus assembled, analyzed, classified, and recorded in a practical, summarized form suitable for decision makers.
The effective use of fund accounting requires that funds be established in a manner suitable for both purposes.
The number of "funds" established within an accounting system to collect and maintain data should be driven by the needs of management. The number of funds reported in external financial reports, on the other hand, should be based on the needs of financial statement users, who typically need and desire less detailed data. Accordingly, separate "funds" within an accounting system often can and should be combined to form a single fund for purposes of general purpose external financial reporting.
Sometimes governments inappropriately combine "funds" in their financial statements that ought not to be combined, thus denying financial statement users valuable information on legal compliance. More commonly, governments report more funds than are truly necessary to achieve the goals of general purpose external financial reporting, thereby needlessly adding to the length and complexity of their financial reports and potentially increasing audit fees.
. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that every state or local government that uses fund accounting
establish clear criteria for determining whether a given "fund" in its accounting system should be treated as a fund for purposes of external financial reporting. The application of these criteria to individual "funds" should be documented and then periodically reviewed to take into account changes in circumstances (for example, a significant decrease in a revenue source reported as a separate special revenue fund). A government's periodic review of its fund structure ought to specifically consider whether the goals of general purpose external financial reporting could better be achieved by combining similar "funds" in the accounting system into a single fund for financial reporting purposes. For example, it may be possible to combine a number of smaller debt service "funds" or capital projects "funds" into a single debt service fund or a single capital projects fund in the financial report. Likewise, it might be possible to combine individual grant "funds" that are available for similar purposes (e.g., special education) into a single special revenue fund.

Not Making the Grade
Batteries, starting & charging systems, Part II
So how do you convince a know-it-all technician that they, too, could use some updated electric training? Glassman says it is all how you word it.
"If you call it advanced-level training, they're more apt to come to the training and listen," he says. "They don't want to sit with their peers and raise their hand and show they're deficient in some fashion. A lot of technicians don't know what they don't know."
Training alone is not enough, though—Purkey says the true test is retention.
"You can train a guy, but if he doesn't get to use and apply it, he can sure lose those skills very quickly," he says. "One of the things every fleet manager in America should start doing is, when you buy the equipment guys need, make sure they use it. (Otherwise you get) 'I just spent $1,000 for a piece of equipment and you're gonna use a $1.98 test light that could blow circuits?' And yet you watch, and they do it all the time."

LSWSC members share the common goal of promoting the safety and enjoyment of watersports. The club has a rich and interesting history, dating back to 1956 when the first slalom course was installed on Lake Sammamish, just east of Seattle, Washington. The LSWSC has definitely evolved and grown over the years, and today has one of the largest active memberships of any ski club in the country.
In the early years of the LSWSC, members had limited options to choose from when it came to watersports. Essentially, there was waterskiing and nothing else. This is certainly no longer the case. There are many watersports available today, and while its primary focus remains waterskiing, the Lake Sammamish Waterski Club encourages and actively supports participatation in wakeboarding, kneeboarding, barefooting, wakeskating, and other activities on the water.
The Lake Sammamish Waterski Club provides a safe, friendly environment for its members to enjoy all that the club has to offer. Active participation at all levels of ability is encouraged and supported. The LSWSC is a great place to learn slalom skiing and wakeboarding. Some members compete at the national level and are more than willing to pass on helpful tips and advice.
If you are interested in joining the Lake Sammamish Waterski Club, great! New members are always welcome. Visit the membership page, choose a registration method, and you're on your way to becoming a club member. If you would like to find out about upcoming club activities, and perhaps attend a club meeting, check out the events schedule. If you have any questions at all about the Lake Sammamish Waterski Club, contact a club officer. They'll be happy to answer your questions.


text: Best and Worst of March Entertainment, Including The Office Proposal, Casey Abrams's Idol Meltdown, and Big Love's Series Finale Buzz Backtrack: The Best and Worst of March Entertainment by POPSUGAR Entertainment 3/31/11 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 March is coming to a close, which means it's the perfect time to reflect on everything that went down in entertainment over the past several weeks — and there was plenty! From Big Love's shocking season finale to Michael Scott's proposal, we're reliving the best (and worst!) that March had to offer. Click through to check out our picks, and then share your favorite highlights from the month in the comments. Biggest Disappointment: Sucker Punch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Could a movie about kickass women and Jon Hamm really be all that bad? Unfortunately, yes. Between the trailer's cool visuals and stylized movie stills, we were pretty excited for the release of Sucker Punch, but the film itself didn't live up to the hype. The female characters' sexuality is overt, and even the special effects — which could have been the film's saving grace — can't rescue the plot. Here's hoping director Zack Snyder's next project, Superman, fares better. 1 / 8 Sweetest Milestone: The Office Proposal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Michael Scott is growing up. The Office boss popped the question to girlfriend Holly in an episode that won fans' hearts and will go down in the books as one of the most memorable scenes in the show's history. The proposal was a little cheesy, a little funny, and 100 percent heartfelt. In other words, it was Michael Scott at his best. Photo courtesy of NBC 2 / 8 Biggest Loss: Elizabeth Taylor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hollywood mourned the death of a legend this month when Elizabeth Taylor passed away at the age of 79, but her memory will live on in her many iconic film roles like National Velvet and Cleopatra. 3 / 8 Most Emotional Episode of Any Show: American Idol What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Casey Abrams performed "Heard It Through the Grapevine" on American Idol's Motown night, everyone seemed to think he'd be safe in the competition — but boy were we wrong. At the results show, Ryan Seacrest delivered the bad news: Casey's going home. But then, in another turn of events, the A.I. judges decided to rescue the young singer! It was a roller coaster of emotions that may have been too much for poor Casey, as he nearly broke down, literally shaking from shock. The crowd roared in excitement over the judges' decision, and you were pretty pleased with the outcome too. Photo courtesy of Fox 4 / 8 Least Tragic Death: Big Love's Bill Henrickson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It was the TV death that came out of nowhere. In the final minutes of the Big Love series finale, neighbor Carl shoots Bill twice on his lawn in retaliation for his own messed up grass. Was it surprising? Yes. But several of you said you were actually OK with seeing the Henrickson patriarch bite the dust, so the women could stand on their own.

Even though critics gave the film lukewarm reviews, it won its opening weekend. The pressure may be off of Mr. Cooper a little now that the film's a success, as he's proven that he has what it takes to be a certified leading man! 6 / 8 Most Off-Season Drama: Mad Men What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Mad Men forecast continued to worsen this month. First, came the news that the show could be delayed till as late as 2012, as AMC, Lionsgate, and creator Matthew Weiner tried to negotiate a contract. That news was later confirmed, but to add insult to injury, the show's new deal may also mean that two series regulars will be getting axed from the series. We can't wait for the show to return, but at this rate, we're just plain irritated!

You have Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke who has a knack for picking unknown actors, plus two smoldering up-and-coming male leads (even Amanda Seyfried admitted that the chemistry is pretty hot). Though the dialogue is admittedly groan-worthy, it's still entertaining if you're in the mood for a mindless fix. 8 / 8 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Buzz BacktrackLimitlessRed Riding HoodSucker PunchBuzz SlideshowElizabeth TaylorMad MenBig LoveThe OfficeBradley CooperAmerican Idol Get a Personalized Celebrity & Entertainment Newsletter!

hexadecimalRefers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers.
To convert a value from hexadecimal to binary, you merely translate each hexadecimal digit into its 4-bit binary equivalent. Hexadecimal numbers have either an 0x prefix or an h suffix. For example, the hexadecimal number
translates to the following binary number:
0011 1111 0111 1010

Is it permissible for him to feed wheat to his livestock?
There is a person who wants to start raising livestock but he needs to put wheat in the animal feed so that they will produce milk and some other things. Is that permissible?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no reason in sharee'ah why he should not feed wheat to livestock. The basic principle concerning food is that it is permissible unless there is evidence to the contrary, as is stated in the principles of fiqh that are well known to the scholars.
This is as far as the principle is concerned. But if there is some harm that will result from feeding wheat to the livestock, such as if people are in need of this wheat as one of their basic needs, and there is no surplus of wheat to feed the livestock, then in that case it is haraam because of the harm that will be done to the people, and the livestock should be fed something other than wheat.
And Allaah knows best.

Neighborhoods: Ward 2
Hello, my name is Kathy and i would love to share the wonderful service we have had at Reno Gallery of Furniture. First time my husband and i went window shopping someone came right away to help us. We explained what we were looking for and they showed us what they had to offer. The service was excellent !! We left and went to another place to be quite frank very expensive furniture. The man and woman was talking about someone, these are the sales people who couldn't and wouldn't break away. They both looked at me and my husband but wouldn't acknowledge us. After about 10 minutes i yelled out, " THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE ." And, we then left the store. Never did we have anything like that happen to us at Reno Gallery of Furniture. We went on to buy quite a bit of furniture from them. One of the items had a problem and they got another one and everything was good.Delivery was good also. This was the store on Kitzeke in Reno, Nv. When we need more furniture guess where we'll be going ?
Thank you,
Kathy Wormington
Owner rebuttal – I am one of the owners of this business, and I doubt that this is a genuine, bonafide review. Our records indicate no issues of this type. Our local consumer agency records show no complaints of this nature. This concerns me that we have little to no chance to defend ourselves against a false claim. We have been in business over 22 years, and we have always taken all opportunities to correct any problems that arise. Businesses that don't take care of problems, don't stay in business. We take care of problems. We have excellent employees and very good furniture, and excellent pricing.
We would welcome any and all opportunity to correct any "issues" that this customer "claims" to have.
David Bell, GM
Poor customer service on returns – The salespeople were VERY friendly before you buy, but once you have the furniture at home and have any problems, they are no longer friendly!! We had a lot of problems getting them to replace furniture we bought that had defects and damage (upon delivery). I would not recommend this place to anyone.

his stone garrison is the second-oldest freestanding fort in the Americas. Built by Spanish settlers between 1539 and 1783 on a rock-strewn promontory at the entrance of San Juan Bay, it's a hulking pile of turrets, towers, walls, barracks, and dungeons that are ripe for exploration.

text: You may have an older American Standard Cadet toilet, but ANY toilet can have your symptoms. It is caused by the fill valve NOT supplying enough water into the bowl after a flush to refill it. Your first flush uses most of the water to refill the bowl and there is not enough left after that to make the flush. Once it is full, the second flush performs normally. To prove this, slowly pour water into the bowl until the water level is at its maximum, then flush the toilet.

Joseph Mallord William Turner (English, 1775 - 1851)
Turner transformed the art of landscape painting in Britain. From detailed topographical studies to expansive, atmospheric vistas his works celebrate the diversity and emotive power of nature. He was born in Covent Garden, the son of a barber, and exhibited his earliest sketches in his father's shop before studying at the Royal Academy Schools. Turner became the youngest ever full member of the Royal Academy in 1802. His experimental use of watercolour and oils achieved stunning effects, attracting contemporary criticism and praise. Turner's admiration of past masters, above all Claude Lorraine, and the numerous sketches made on many tours in Britain and abroad, provided the basis for his 'sublime' land and seascapes.

Hotel Features;
Places to go and things to see;
Cornwall is one of the UK's most popular tourist destinations. And with good reason. The spectacular coastal scenery is to die for. But delve a little deeper into this charming corner of the UK and you'll soon see that it's more than sun, sea and sand that makes Cornwall special.
Cornwall is packed with vibrant towns and idyllic villages. They're a joy to explore. Visit Rock, near Padstow, for breathtaking harbour views and high-quality cafés. The village is a firm favourite of the rich and famous, so keep your eyes peeled for familiar faces. Meanwhile, Bude and the surrounding areas are home to expansive beaches and more great scenery. You can even spend a lazy afternoon gently paddling along the canal by hiring a canoe or kayak. Or head for St Austell and put those taste buds to the test on a tour of St Austell Brewery. These family brewers are renowned across the westcountry for their tasty ales. And they've got the awards to prove it.
After sampling the local ale, you might want to treat yourself to another local delicacy: the Cornish pasty. Handmade to recipes that go back generations and served piping hot, an authentic Cornish pasty is a true culinary treat. You simply can't beat it. Cornwall is also home to some incredible restaurants, including Jamie Oliver's Fifteen in Watergate Bay and Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow. Delicious.
For fans of the great outdoors a trip to Bodmin Moor is a must. This unspoilt wilderness allows you to snake along winding lanes to discover hidden hamlets, wooded waterfalls and craggy tors. It's a walker's paradise. And then, of course, there's the Eden Project, dubbed by many as the eighth wonder of the world. The world-famous biomes are home to all kinds of beautiful and bizarre botanical species. A must see.
Cornwall also has the highest density of prehistoric sites in the whole country. From the Hurlers Stone Circles near St Cleer to the amazing Bronze Age chambered tomb at Tregiffian Burial Chamber, Cornwall is full of incredible ancient relics. There's nowhere better to let out your inner-adventurer and explore some of the fascinating mysteries of history.

NHRA Legend "Big Daddy" Don Garlits will headline the weekend's 60th-themed activities
TOPEKA, Kan. (April 26, 2011) – NHRA's season-long celebration of its 60th anniversary season will make a very special and important stop May 20-22 when it returns to the state where it all started, Kansas, for the 23rd running of the NHRA Summer Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka.
NHRA was founded on March 13, 1951 in Southern California and it hosted its first national event at western Kansas' Great Bend Municipal Airport in 1955. A lot has changed over the course of the next six decades and much of it has been, and will continue to be, chronicled for fans during this season-long celebration of NHRA's 60th anniversary.
Throughout the year, NHRA is bringing its rich tradition to fans around the country in the form of many of the sport's great legends and fans in the Heartland will be treated to none other than "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, the man who was named No. 1 on NHRA's list of all-time greatest drivers.
In addition to his renowned competitiveness and driving skills, Garlits famously changed the course of the Top Fuel class in 1971 when, after being seriously injured when the engine in his slingshot dragster exploded, he re-engineered the Top Fuel dragster to move the engine from in front of the driver to behind the driver.
His engineering skills were ahead of the game, to be sure, as he developed one incarnation of his popular "Swamp Rat" after another, ending his career with an estimated 50 Swamp Rat dragsters. He was also one of the first to have a nickname, "Big Daddy," and it preceded an era of racing where nickames like Snake and Mongoose and Cha Cha became synonymous with NHRA drag racing.
The NHRA Summer Nationals, May 20-22 at Heartland Park Topeka, will mark the seventh stop in a year-long celebration that will pay homage to the evolution of the hot rod, the impact of the sport's legendary racers, and the lifeblood provided by the many millions of loyal and passionate NHRA fans.
"(NHRA Founder) Wally (Parks) created NHRA for the hot rod enthusiasts and the 2011 season, our 60th Anniversary, will be a year-long celebration in their honor," said NHRA president Tom Compton. "Fans, accustomed to an up close and personal experience with the stars of the sport through our open pit environment, will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the stars and see the cars from throughout the 60-year history of the sport."
The celebration will continue throughout the year as the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series winds its way from Pomona to Pennsylvania, Dallas to Denver, Seattle to central Florida, and many points in between. NHRA drag racing fans from across the country will be treated to special events designed to give them the chance to personally interact with the men, women and vehicles that have made the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series the great sport that it is today.
Race fans can frequent NHRA.com <http://www.nhra.com/> or simply 'like' the NHRA Facebook page <http://www.facebook.com/pages/NHRA/64205041409> to receive updated news regarding details of the many 60th-themed ticket promotions being offered, and specific activities planned, at each of the remaining 15 events on the 2011 schedule.
The virtual tour through the first 60 years of NHRA drag racing will extend beyond the track to the desktops, laptops and handheld devices of NHRA fans via the NHRA Facebook page <http://www.facebook.com/pages/NHRA/64205041409> . Throughout the 2011 season, NHRA will enlist the expertise of the fans of the NHRA Facebook page <http://www.facebook.com/pages/NHRA/64205041409> to help determine the greatest moments from the first 60 years of NHRA drag racing. Voting – based on 'likes' – began March 7 and will continue throughout the season.
Tickets for the 23rd annual NHRA Summer Nationals, May 20-22 at Heartland Park Topeka, are on sale now via nhra.com/tickets <https://t1.clicknprint.com/tix/SilverStream/Pages/pgIndex.html?siteID=2811> or by phone at (765) 862-4781.
Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2011. As the primary sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the United States, NHRA presents 22 national events featuring the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and the NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series. NHRA provides competition opportunities for drivers of all levels in the NHRA Summit Racing Series and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. NHRA also offers the Jr. Drag Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17. In addition, NHRA owns and operates five racing facilities: Gainesville Raceway in Florida; Atlanta Dragway in Georgia; National Trail Raceway in Ohio; Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis; and Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in Southern California.

What was slated as a forum for candidates vying for Virginia's 11th congressional district turned into an impromptu debate between incumbent Gerry Connolly, route: {:controller=>"articles", :action=>"show", :id=>"connolly-wins-11th-district"} --> (D) and Republican candidate Col.

Merrifield is a classic example of UN Agenda 21 and NOTHING Connolly should be proud of!! IOn the other hand the Democrats are all for UN Agenda 21 and all it does to strip Americans of their property rights and liberties. It is something to note that Connolly takes responsibility for this area and when crime becomes an issue there as it surely will and when it becomes an enclave for Muslims as it surely will then we will know who to blame. We need Chris Perkins in Congress now more than ever. He will represent ALL the people of the 11th District unlike Connolly who has only contempt for anyone who is not on his side. If you are a Republican try approaching Connolly.... He will be rude, cuss at you and probably tell you to go the h*** away!
Ron September 19, 2012 at 11:26 AM
Who is Connolly kidding? Merrifield and the Metro extension would have happened without him. Connolly is an arrogant know-it-all and he's for one thing - Connolly! He is all for government handouts, the largest tax on the middle class due to the Health Care Act, and income re-distribution because that's what gets him elected. If you're a hard-working American, he wants little to do with you. And, the dumb voters in Fairfax County don't pay attention and vote him into office. People forget that he should have lost the last election, but for the useless candidacy of an independent who had no chance for election.
chefgio1 September 19, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Yes, Connolly reminds us in this article and I quote the article (Connolly) "reminded voters of previous promises he made on other campaign trails that are coming to fruition. The congressman said he promised a rail system from Washington, D.C. to the Dulles International Airport and noted that completion is near with an opening date in 2014." Thanks!! for screwing the residents in the Western portion of the county. We are footing most of the bill while the Eastern portion of the county, DC and Maryland will really reap the benefits. Why aren't they being charged a surcharge like us? In addition, Connolly, what are you going to do about the all the extra traffic that will go through our residential streets in the Western portion of the county because drivers refuse to pay your socialist tolls? Are you going to propose same street restrictions that are in Vienna? Connolly, its time you find another job and stop messing up our lives. You may want to look for job in a cheese eating factory to match your rat like air about you. You, like the rest of these Socialist really don't realize how you are ruining this great county. Look at the facts not Marx or Lenin. You are just like Hussein Obama the Chicago gangster turned politician with Holder as his enforcer--you are either with me or you are screwed.

No, I don't remember Gerry Connolly being involved in the overbuilding of Merrifield, but I do remember Gerry Connolly promising to revitalize the Route 1 corridor. He promised to bring mass transit to us and improve the Route 1 traffic flow, bringing in large stores that would serve as anchors for further growth and provide more employment opportunities. He promised to root out the crime and drugs. He promised better housing options. He promised. How's that Route 1 plan working out, Gerry? Gerry?
Mary Ebener September 19, 2012 at 03:42 PM
The inside story on formal debates: Chris Perkins asked for six debates with Gerry Connolly. Connolly agreed to one, on Connolly's turf with Connolly's moderator. Not surprising that they have not agreed. It seems pretty wild that Chris Perkins is appealing to both Republicans and Democrats. There are two houses in our neighborhood with Obama-Perkins signs. If Chris Perkins has enough time to meet with and discuss issues with enough voters before the election, if he can get TV time debating Connolly directly, we might have a new Congressman next year.
Mary Ebener September 19, 2012 at 03:47 PM
Yes, Reston must be very happy that Gerry Connolly is responsible for the increased tolls on 267, and the increase in traffic in the neighborhoods as drivers find new routes to avoid those tolls.
Mary Ebener September 19, 2012 at 03:51 PM
I remember the time that a Republican spoke before the Board of Supervisors at how Fairfax County's policies toward illegal immigrants was causing a migration here from neighboring counties that were addressing the problem. Gerry Connolly skewered him for providing data that was not authorized for release. It wasn't until Connolly left to move up to Congress that the board could even begin to address the problems of crime and overcrowding that he encouraged.
chefgio1 September 19, 2012 at 04:30 PM
Remember, all of you that vote for Connolly this election and try to blame Bush too for the new traffic congestion on your peaceful streets and when you can not turn on your primary roads like Reston Parkway because of the constant flow of cars. And if I were a Connolly lover I would document a baseline looking at of how many children get hurt today via cars vice tomorrow, document the current level of air pollution and compare it to tomorrow as the number of cars increase, see how the greenery starts disappearing, document the level of crime today vice the increase tomorrow and more importantly your land values--see how they fall. Compare these stats to what will come and ask yourself: Is this the reason why I moved to one of the riches suburbs in America? And then blame Bush too because like Hussein, Connolly will have selective memory along with they rest of you that voted him in again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rod's Sharpening Service September 21, 2012 at 12:11 AM
I'll never forget Gerry Connelly accusing the Reston Citizen's Association of "seizing" the Reston Community Center because they wanted some say in the governance of Reston. A few years down the road and you can see what we have-a big mess with all the taxes going to Fairfax.
Jean Nichols September 22, 2012 at 04:47 AM
Gerry sits with obama. Funny thing he said: 'Is there Anywhere we can cut spending?'!!!
Jean Nichols October 03, 2012 at 04:57 AM
Connolly just does Whatever Pelosi tells him to do, which means he has Aided and Abetted obama's Agenda of Deficit Spending, Takeover of Healthcare, and Strangling Regulations! Gerry went so far as to ask Ben Bernanke if there was Any place they could cut spending! It is on video, and he Was serious! Let's FIRE him!!

Demand for algorithmic trading is heating up in China where one leading investment bank, China Merchants Securities has licensed software from Progress Software, according to today's announcement.
But the message is clear — in China's rapidly developing securities markets, the interest in algo trading is growing and appears to be emerging on the retail side. This is in contrast with trends in U.S., where algorithmic-trading first popped up on proprietary trading desks at the major investment banks, before strategies were offered to institutional clients.
According to Progress Apama, China Merchants Securities is responding to interest from its high net worth retail customers in algorithmic trading by supplying them with both ready-made and client specific algorithmic strategies.
China Merchants went into production with Apama's algo trading platform last June in Shenzhen. Retail investors currently have access to eight common strategies for equities and equity derivatives including volume-weighted average price (VWAP). Plans are to expand the platform to other asset classes including financial index futures and commodities futures.
"Algorithmic trading in China as been growing but few brokerage firms can offer clients a customizable, scalable and robust algorithmic trading platform with ultra-low latency," commented GuangYan Wu, general manager of Individual Investor Dept. from China Merchants Securities. Wu said his firm's strategy is to offer value added services to customers and grow its retail business. It chose to build its algorithmic platform on top of the Apama Progress platform.
According to Richard Bentley, VP of capital markets at Progress, China Merchants chose Apama over more than 10 competitors because the tech provider demonstrated to its IT team that it had the most customizable and scalable algorithmic platform. Apama's team worked closely with the firm to build "highly targeted trading strategies specific to the Chinese market," stated Bentley.

People are now able to update their PS Vita to Firmware 1.66. Firmware 1.66 is probably a simple regression bug fix from Firmware 1.65 unveiled yesterday, to address the "adhoc" issues people were seeing on PSP games.
This firmware patches both Motorstorm and Everybody's tennis exploits used to run VHBL, as expected. This was also, of course, the case for firmware 1.65. Update at your own risk. Reports also say that SKFU's Vita pr0xy allows you to spoof your firmware version, in order to access the psn store without updating, so you don't have to update immediately unless you need all of PSN's services.
Thanks to everybody who let me know.

Kernel exploit for teh winz =_=
FUC|< You!!! Stop Trolling you're not funny you dumbass
and btw suck my motherfuc|<ing ASCII Art made just for you
get a life Iono
You're clearly not Wololo because he has a different avatar than you.
he's not wololo. He is Iono, posting shit under blog posts
So, that isn't wololo just some punk using the name.
You sir are a disgrace.
VitaPr0xy is blocked now … doesn´t work anymore !!!
no chance to get into psn store without update !!!!!!
Hell yeah ^ fxxk yeah can't wait!!!!"!""!!
Goddamn u hackers give us the exploits already!!! And free ones not $50 exploits
good luck with your research
not sure if anyone said this already but when i updated to 1.66 it fixed my bug in near on wifi vita where it wouldnt find my location.
Wololo a simple "do not update firmware" would help
I just bought Monster Hunter Unite (USA) and it seems that the "Download" option doesn't work? I just want to know if the server is gone or was this a bug?
This is off topic really so I won't be offended if my comment is deleted, but since there may be some general interest: I also bought MHFU (from EU PSN) and in-game downloading missions etc works fine for me. Running PSV FW 1.61.
Make sure your wifi is working for browsing and it should work in US version too AFAIK.
So with this update is there still work going on with game exploits or should I just bite the dust and update.
Or are there more game hacks on the way?
Really wanted to get Mortal Kombat 9. :/
Thanks Wololo!
all you hackers need to stop. you guys already messed up psp for legit playerz. leave the vita alone. so everyone can finally enjoy a system without people with no gaming skills hacking jus to get a kill or to cheap to buy games. jus wait for vita to update for ps1 games and more psp games. if you want to mod or hack then go mod a DlLDO that fits you.
My ps vita's left shoulder button doesn't work half the time.. does anyone have this issue?
even if i use skfu's vita pr0xy, when i try to enter in the psn it says to me that i must update.. why..?
I won't be updating the OFW, I've already got enough games for it (I've got Vita games like Unit 13, Ninja Gaiden and Rayman, and I'm catching up on the PSP Persona games) and I'll be happy my Vita is 'feature complete' when I get my GBA and C64 emulation going on the new VHBL version, I'm still running the initial release and installing it all again will be a good day's work for non hacker types like me he he.. oh hey wololo do you have a newer version coming in the next few weeks? If so I'll hold off updating and do it all fresh when it drops
1.67 is out now, I see no changes so far.

I'm looking for an alternative lightweight OS that can run photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
I'm running those now on windows 7, but other apps take all of the RAM and everything get stuck often.
I want a separate OS dedicated just for designing.
You can run Windows 7 very lean. But you have to research everything that's running and understand it, and you need to maintain it. There are free tools, like Autoruns, to help you know what's starting on your system, and Internet searches can help you learn what each program does. Go through the process list in Task Manager and research what each process is for.
In short, you have to get kind of "intimate" with Windows to make it run lighter and faster. It may seem tedious, but that's the nature of the world.
For example, you can disable disk indexing, you can (and should) prevent Internet Explorer from downloading and installing every ActiveX it encounters, you should avoid installing "handy" apps and toolbars that you don't really need, you can deconfigure many of the "gee whiz" features of Windows 7... You can also, if your computer is reliable and has a good working UPS, enable more sophisticated performance facilities such as advanced disk caching.
What are these "other apps" that you are seeing take all your resources?
thank you, i will try this
Google Chrome is the main RAM eater, and also background services like MsMpEng.exe and the Search Indexer.

No. I've been running Windows 7 since 2009 and have been keeping up with all Windows Updates. My systems are as fast as they ever were.
Here's an article I've written discussing the Windows 7 Search Indexer and how to disable it:
Indexing is supposed to make it quick and easy to find things on your computer using Windows Search (that little box at the upper-right of Explorer windows).
But when you think about it, does it make sense to read all the files on your disk, extract everything you could possibly want to search for, and store it on that same disk another way? To even consider indexing providing better performance than just searching the files, Microsoft must be picking and choosing the data they think you'll want to look for (excluding data you WON'T want to search for), where you'll want to search, and in what kinds of files, and in fact they are. How could they know everything you'll ever want to search for?
They can't. Not everything is indexed, and never will be!
Try this: Create a simple text file on your disk, in a temporary folder. Call it "FindMe.log" and put in the text "This file contains important tax information". Now navigate to that folder with Explorer and enter the word "tax" into the Search box at the upper-right. Enter any of the words in that file! Windows Search will not find the file, because it simply does not LOOK in .log files by default, and there's no fallback strategy - Windows Search simply does not index nor search for information for some kinds of files. Incredible!
All it takes is ONE TIME searching for something you know is there and NOT finding it to destroy your confidence in Windows Search.
And so they scan through your files endlessly, pick out the strings you might someday search for, and store them in yet another set of files (the "index"). As though your computer has nothing better to do.
Not only is the basic premise of this wrong, but it's not even implemented very well. The index often becomes corrupted, and so Microsoft has provided functions for you to clear and regenerate it. Just what you wanted to be doing - NOT.
Consider these shortcomings:
In summary, indexed Windows Search operations in Windows 7 simply can't be trusted to find your data in your files when it's critical, and so they're essentially useless. Searching for filenames using Windows Search actually can be occasionally useful (though the syntax to ensure it searches only filenames is a bit tricky), but this doesn't require indexing.
Moreover, indexing can actually interfere with file operations, causing your system to report disk corruption, because of an implementation error in indexing and NTFS (search the web for "Atomic Oplock", for example).
So indexing should simply and utterly be disabled. This won't actually stop you being able to try Windows Search - on the contrary with indexing off Windows 7 will actually search your actual files (within the limitations listed above) just when you tell it to, and (since indexing isn't implemented very well) it may actually INCREASE the probability that you might find what you're looking for.
Here's how to disable indexing:
1. Click Start and enter services in the search box.
2. When Services (with little gears) comes up, click it.
3. Scroll down to the Windows Search service.
4. Right click it and choose Properties.
5. Change the Startup type to Disabled.
6. Click [ Stop ] to stop the service.
7. Click [ OK ].
8. Click Start and enter index in the search box.
9. When Indexing options comes up, click it.
10. Click the Advanced button.
11. Click the [ Rebuild ] button to delete the index.
12. It is a good idea to reboot after this.
Here's another thing you can do if you're uninterested in having your computer participate in Microsoft's "media sharing" on your network...
Media Sharing is a facility by which your computer can participate with other devices in your house or on the internet to share your music, videos, etc. If this is a computer on which you expect to do real work, you may not want this.
There have been reports that having Media Sharing enabled can result in Explorer windows either not refreshing after operations, or taking a very long time (tens of seconds) to do things like show the results of a rename or delete operation.
Therefore, if you don't need your Windows 7 system to share pictures, music, and videos with other Windows Media capable systems on your network, then it is best to disable this setting. It will also preserve some system resources for other uses.
Note: With this setting disabled you will still be able to share all your files with other computers via the normal networking process of sharing folders.
I strongly agree with you, regarding Windows Indexing. Besides the resources that it uses, it can "lock" files, while it tries to do its thing - and tries, and tries. This is not THAT big a deal with PS (except for the Scratch Disks), but with video editing and either Premiere, or Encore, can crash a Project. Here is an ARTICLE that I did in the Premiere forum, on its issues. If you have no objections, I would like to add your comments to that article, as I like the detail that you went into. TIA
Thanks for point that guy out here.
Sure! Spread the info around to wherever it can be useful.
Appreciated. Heading off to add it now, with proper attribution.
Cool, and thanks for the attribution. We're definitely of one mind re: turning off Indexing, Bill.
By the way - and I'm sorry for straying off key a bit for a moment - there is a handy little free tool for actually doing good, reliable searches (though perhaps with a user interface that's a big geeky). It's Stefan Kueng's grepwin tool:
If you put the right stuff in the right places in its dialog, It will find what you're searching for - quickly and every time, even if encoded in Unicode. It even tells you the things it cannot search in (for example because the file is open), so there's no way you can unknowingly miss anything. Stefan definitely knows what he's doing.
Instead of buying a new OS, buy more ram. (you can use free os'es, but you'll have to use wine and other crap to get it up and running)
I could be wrong here, but think that the OP will benefit from setting up the cleanest, leanest, meanest editing machine possible. Any utility that simplifies things to that end, should be explored. Though mainly for a video-editing workstation, this ARTICLE covers some aspects, many touched on here.
I feel that with proper tuning, the OP will not need to use a dual-boot system.
Wow. Thanks Noel
There's a lot of switches in any operating system,and a plain old user like myself does not want to pull the wrong one to clear up resources.
Thanks for the Disabling Indexes Howto.
Of course when searching from an Explorer Window,you may get a "nag" message about turning Indexing on. Here's how to remove it:
Go to your Folder Options (From any window directory menu) Tools=> Folder Options. (You may have to press the Alt key to view this menu.)
In the folder options dialogue go to "Search"
In "How to search" check "Dont use the index when searching..."
Click "Apply" or OK
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Great catch! I have disabled that myself but neglected to put it into the description. Thank you in return!
Would it be worth discussing specifically what processor, scratch disk, RAM, and version of Photoshop are being used? Are we experiencing problems on an i7 or a single Pentium4 processor?
On Win7, "Folder Options" is available from the Control Panel.
I could not find a way to turn off media streaming but once I got into it, I found that is already off, which is why I couldn't turn it off!
"We" ain't got either!

Hudechrome wrote:

It's in Explorer too if you enable the Menus.
Gotta know which menu:
Explorer>Organize>Folder and Search Options
In Windows Explorer, if you use the Organize menu first, you can show the menu bar:
Then, with menus much as they were in older versions of the OS, the menus can take you to the Folder Options previously mentioned:
Lots of functionality in those menus is normally hidden by Microsoft, presumably to reduce the "cognitive load" of non-technical users.
I've had the menu bar enabled in Windows 7 Explorer for so long,I had forgotten there are users who have not. It's a good thing to do if only to get to Folder Options as I find myself doing often. Any change to Folder Options from one Explorer window goes for all of Windows 7.
Anyway Noel,if you have "Disabling Indexing" stickied anywhere,please add the "Don't Use the Index" instructions.
When I click Windows Explorer, I get nothing of the kind you show. It is usually opening to Libraries, and if I pick C drive instead, then I get a view somewhat similar but things like cut are not showing. Other than that, I can get to Folder Options as I stated, whcih doesn't seem that different in thr path I use.
Show hidden files is checked.
Maybe because I am using Classic look?

Sure you are. It may not look the same because you're using the old view, but you certainly have a Tools menu showing. I can see it in your screen grabs.
Click the Tools menu. At the bottom do you see Folder Options?
Something is wierd here. I see nothing beyondpost 17, yet I see a post in my e-mail responding to a post I made which includes images. I don't see either post.
Jive sucks! I wonder if this will be posted.
Ok. Now I see it all.
Jive sucks!
Yes, I know that and pointed it out. Now what started it all is the suggestion that Explorer Menu needs to be enabled. I could not find out how to enable it and rightly so, as it already IS enabled!
And yes, I also noted that the difference was likely because I am using Classic.
Anyway, I stopped Indexing and such.
Would be nice if Classic showed the clipping tool. I wondered what happened to that. Now I know.
If I switch back to the Win7 screen, will that enable Aero? I don't want to do that and I expect that Noel doesn't either, and he uses the Win7 version, apparently.

I use Aero all the time. I like the extra eye candy, frankly, and it seems to work just fine. Some of it (like Aero Peek and app tiling by dragging to the desktop edge) I've turned off.
I just finished installing windows 7 and disabled Aero and all visual effects and styles, now photoshop is superfast, thank!
I need photoshop to run very fast because i'm usually working on high res projects (300ppi or more) with many layers, so now it's great.

Do you use Bridge? I don't, and I have disabled both CS5ServiceManager and Switchboard.
I allow the UpdaterStartupUtility to run because I like to know about updates for Adobe apps when they're available. I don't see a process for it continuing to run, so UpdaterStartupUtility may be just so that when you log in you'll know about updates.
I don't know if you have run into this before, but sometimes disabling indexing for
adobe programs (program files) will result in photoshop not finding some things
as the lighting filter presets and such.
Don't know if it's an issue on vista or 7, but it was on xp.
Worse! If you disable search and indexing, "Search" on Win7 fails almost completely, except for the initial search on C drive. "See More Results" become inoperable.
I thought enabling Search was all I needed. No dice. I have to enable Indexing as well.
I did a troubleshoot and Win 7 found no problems. Of course not! I was the dummy that disabled it all! $%&)$!
You're doing something wrong, Lawrence. Windows 7 will search just fine without indexing in every place I know of. Not that it will always find the things you're searching for (under any condition).
Did you clear the existing index as I noted?
Did you reboot as I noted?
"See More Results" is just a search of another type, so if it's not searching for you in the general case, "See More Results" won't deliver either.
I took every step outlined, including reboot, and I reversed every step, including reboot. It works again.
I suppose I can go online with MS and investigate further.
Later today, I may try it again Perhaps I have Win 7 configured in a particular way. Look how Classic tripped me up with Windows Explorer! I could return everything to Default and try again, but frankly, I saw no increase in performance doing those disables. (Qualitatively anyway).
Edit: It did deliver in the case of searching in General, but would not engage See more Results. The window never appeared, and it was obvious from the HD operations no search was under way.
For what it's worth, I just entered some text in the Start menu search box, then clicked See More Results, after which an Explorer window popped-up and a search of the hard drive commenced.
Then there is a difference between your setup and mine, especially since Win7 Troubleshoot found nothing obvious to it's search parameters.It would be interesting to know.
One thing pops to mind: I installed Win7 from a MSDN iso image of the production version. When I bought it, I simply entered the s/n.
Unless other problems show up strongly suggesting a re-install of the OS, I won't do it here for this one. I am loathe to cavalierly reinstall because I don't want risk all those installation problems possibly showing up. I would entertain perspectives about what could possibly be happening here. Curiosity for sure, and I don't like a system that has hobbles built in for which a fix is doable (besides re-install!)
What I have noticed since turning indexing off,is the "display more results" after using the Start Menu search box does not work. The search window that used to show up flashes for a microsecond and that is all. Windows Explorer search works fine.
Like Hudechrome,I'm not up to a rip and replace on the OS unless very necessary,but I don't use the "display more results" enough to worry about it.
I can't explain that difference at this point, unless maybe I tweaked something else somewhere else having to do with searching that I'm not remembering.
I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 at this point. It will be available to everyone in a week or a bit longer. That may make it work.

When many people think about mainframes today, they imagine an out-dated and little-used enterprise infrastructure. But the reality is that about 65 percent of all worldwide business data and 90 percent of all mission critical business applications still resides on the mainframe.
In the past, mainframes tended to be used within a very secure, isolated environment. Today, in the era of open networks, the mainframe cannot really trust the user who typically accesses the application through a web browser. In addition, there are complex service oriented architecture applications that basically have a chain of computers touching the request before it hits the back-end system. This complexity is compounded with the use of cloud platforms where the user could be several tiers away.
Attacks are getting more and more sophisticated. Hackers are out to steal information rather than the sabotage with denial of service attacks. Now you have organized crime with very skilled hackers and they are inventing more attack vectors than anyone can patch.
Mainframes are high profile targets for these professional hackers because they contain valuable data. Hackers could access the mainframe through a protocol like an FTP or HTTP, inject a malicious SQL command, and the mainframes have limited defense capabilities.
This presentation will review IBM best practices to apply defense in depth to address security problems facing mainframes organizations.
