I want to install a program remotely, for which I understand there are two options:-
Group Policy (or using other Windows built-in option): The thing is I'm trying to install a distributed system, so group policy doesn't make sense here.
PsExec: it could work well but I have some problems with it: I'm trying to install MySQL and FileZilla FTP Server.
- for MySQL server: I guess I could work hard and use Orca to understand the properties in MySQL MSI, but with FileZilla it's hopeless since it an .exe and not MSI.
- That's why I wrote an AutoIt installation script that works well on a local computer but can't be run remotely since PsExec doesn't open a "UI session" but a shell (like SSH in Linux). If I attach it to an existing session (using the
-iflag) it works, but I can't assume the computer will not be locked on installation.
Deployment is hard, any suggestions?

In business one of the first things we learn is that the three most important things about owning a business are; well you know. Ok. Just in case you need a refresher they are; Location, Location and, guess what, Location again. This is why Owners and Operators spend a lot of time doing traffic research, evaluating real estate for potential growth areas, and researching their target demographics before picking a location. Of course, businesses that don't do the research have an uphill battle ahead of them and, most likely, will not make it. So what does this have to do with "Web Real Estate"? Actually…Everything.
The Webs' Best kept Secret
One of the webs' best kept secrets is the three most important things about owning a website and they are, drum roll please… What?, Location, Location, Location. Yep that's it, and you might ask, "How can this be?" Think of it like this. The web is a collection of properties (websites) just like the real world, and the location of your property within search engines is what determines how much traffic you will see. Making it just as important to have the proper research done on the web landscape before launching a website to ensure a maximum return on investment.
Purchasing Web Real Estate
A question that might come to mind is; "The web has been around so long, how I can make sure I get a good location for my website?" And that is a good question. Much like in the real world, demolitions, renovations, and new office parks open providing an opportunity. In terms of the web, these opportunities present themselves as:
- Domain names that expire and are not renewed.
- New Domain name extensions (.Biz, .US).
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
- Graphic Design.
- Emerging Technologies (Blogs, Social Media, etc).
- Search Engine Changes (Focus on Local).
When an opportunity present itself you have to be ready. This is why it is critical to have a web management company on your side, looking out for your best interests, just like a Realtor or other professional. The web industry is just too complex to go it alone.
A Small Window of Opportunity
Right now the three major search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing along with other major web properties are beginning to shift their focus from being globally focused, to being more locally and globally focused. This means there is a small window of opportunity, (2 years or less), for businesses to purchase prime web real estate for low prices. Remember, web properties appreciate with age as long as they are maintained, making it much more expensive to try to renovate or buy those same properties in the future. It will still be possible to buy or replace these properties in the future, but it will be a lot much more expensive. Likely too expensive, for the average business owner.
In summary; Don't make the common mistake many businesses do, and think that a website is purely an extension of your business when it should really be thought of as another location of your business. To truly build and maintain a web presence, don't try to go it alone. A free website is simply not going to get it done. Lastly, take advantage of this prime market to capture a critical piece of real estate for your business and make it grow. It is an investment and will cost money. Remember, according to Google 82% of people looking for business services are doing so online, making it a good area to invest in to grow your business.

Hellgate website and western servers shut down
Looks like the end has finally come for Hellgate: London, at least in its current form.
As of yesterday, the game servers and official website have finally, actually been closed.
Never fear, though. If you enjoyed the game you'll eventually be able to start anew in its free-to-play form when HanbitSoft relaunches the game complete with new content and gameplay changes.
You may have to fear a little, though. The exact release date and territories to be serviced by the revamp are still to be announced.

Java Message Service (JMS)
Java Message Service (JMS) is an application program interface (API) from Sun Microsystems that supports the formal communication known as messaging between computers in a network. Sun's JMS provides a common interface to standard messaging protocols and also to special messaging services in support of Java programs. Sun advocates the use of the Java Message Service for anyone developing Java applications, which can be run from any major operating system platform.

55 Resort Reviews

http://www.wintergreenresort.com (434) 325-2200
I am quite conflicted about Wintergreen. On one hand, it is a very nice resort with all the amenities and fairly good slopes: However, the lift lines on the weekend are truly horrible. We went on President's Day weekend, which was apparently a mistake, as everyone else seemed to be there also.
What was surprising is that the slopes weren't crowded at all, especially Tyro and the lower blacks, but what was even more surprising is that the lift lines were amazingly long. During the afternoon on Sunday, I routinely waited 20 minutes for every lift. Also, I was a guest of a member and had the "special red badge", but halfway through the day, some of the staff decided that we couldn't use our badges and thus couldn't use the special lift lines. My wife had only 3 hours to ski (infant with babysitter) and only got in 4 runs in 3 hours.
My two kids did the Treehouse all-day ski school and really didn't enjoy it at all. My 8yo is extremely athletic and was bored after one hour. My 5yo is not extremely athletic and apparently was harassed by some other kids to the point that she was in tears much of the day. I took them to another resort last weekend for private lessons and they did very well. Lesson learned on group ski lessons for kids.
Overall, Wintergreen is a really nice resort. I have been there more than 10 times in the past few years, but only skiing twice. Both times I skied, the lift lines have been out of proportion to the number of skiers. They just don't seem to have the lift capacity to get people back up the mountain. I will certainly go back for the golfing and my wife swears by the Spa, but I don't think we will ever go back for the skiing.

Does what is says on the tin !
This product/packaging has altered recently, but as I have used this item previously I am hoping the quality of this Redken product is up to its usual high standard.

The innate immune responses mediated by Toll-like receptors (TLR) provide an evolutionarily well-conserved first line of defense against microbial pathogens. In the Reactome Knowledgebase we previously integrated annotations of human TLR molecular functions with those of over 4000 other human proteins involved in processes such as adaptive immunity, DNA replication, signaling, and intermediary metabolism, and have linked these annotations to external resources, including PubMed, UniProt, EntrezGene, Ensembl, and the Gene Ontology to generate a resource suitable for data mining, pathway analysis, and other systems biology approaches. We have now used a combination of manual expert curation and computer-based orthology analysis to generate a set of annotations for TLR molecular function in the chicken (Gallus gallus). Mammalian and avian lineages diverged approximately 300 million years ago, and the avian TLR repertoire consists of both orthologs and distinct new genes. The work described here centers on the molecular biology of TLR3, the host receptor that mediates responses to viral and other doubled-stranded polynucleotides, as a paradigm for our approach to integrated manual and computationally based annotation and data analysis. It tests the quality of computationally generated annotations projected from human onto other species and supports a systems biology approach to analysis of virus-activated signaling pathways and identification of clinically useful antiviral measures.

quote: As said before, I had results from both the Catalyst 8.36 and Catalyst 8.37 Drivers. How did performance improve between this small driver jump of 0.01 version?
quote: Taking a setting at 1600x1200 with 16xAF, I saw a major increase in performance, particularly Company Of Heroes and Quake 4. Performance went up by 11% on COH and 42% on Quake 4! This shows that the drivers is still very raw on this card , with just a minor driver revision boosting up performance that much, it gives us quite a lot of hope for a fair bit of improvement to come. Let's hope for that!
quote: In many non Anti-Aliasing, High Definition game settings, you have seen the X2900XT push ahead of the performance of it's closest competitor, the GeForce 8800GTS 640MB, sometimes by quite a large margin, sometimes falling behind or ahead by a small percentage. In a select few games, the GTS is slightly faster, and vice versa. When Anti-Aliasing is turned on, the X2900XT showed that it carries it off with great efficiency in games that the drivers are optimized for, performing significantly better than the GTS; while the AA efficiency is piss-poor in some games due to the raw driver which has not fully blossomed to take advantage of ATi's new GPU technology. Just take a look at how performance has boosted from Drivers 8.36 to 8.37, that shows the potential in performance growth... a whole lot of it to reap.
quote: Performance went up by 11% on COH and 42% on Quake 4! This shows that the drivers is still very raw on this card
quote: ... you had to put two cards into Crossfire first, then back down to single-card. Doing so would increase single card operation by like 20%. I'm guessing the 8.37 addressed this.

The last two midterm elections have yielded big Republican congressional gains, yet most conservatives who cheered those developments now jeer at Donald Trump. That's inconsistent thinking on their part, suggests Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall.
"Trump is very little different from the average candidate Republicans elected in 2010 and 2014, in terms of radical views and extreme rhetoric," wrote Marshall in a Saturday post. "All Trump's done is take the actual GOP issue package, turn it up to eleven and put it on a high speed collision course with RNC headquarters smack in the middle of presidential election year." (Props to Marshall for that This Is Spinal Tap-Mad Max mixed metaphor.)

Updateing Tinthumb, deleting and upload again, change attributes etc.
Also contact my hoster, they doesn't block tinthumb.
Nothing really works.

Health & Parenting
Denis Leary Talks About Acting, Marriage, Kids, and Health
Actor Denis Leary is best-known these days for his starring role in Rescue Me, the popular FX drama. But he has appeared in more than 40 films. They include The Sandlot, The Ref,Dawg, Wag the Dog, and Demolition Man, and his voice-overs have enlivened such animated films as Ice Age -- he plays saber-toothed tiger Diego -- and A Bug's Life -- he's Francis, the ladybug. Well-known as a comedian (as well as a chain smoker), Leary talked to WebMD the Magazine about the secret of his long-lived marriage, what he has learned from raising children, his non-profit work, and how he stays healthy and sane in the busy world of acting.
You're the creator and co-star of FX's acclaimed drama Rescue Me, in which you play a firefighter in New York City who has post-9/11 issues ranging from alcoholism to seeing ghosts. How important is acting for your own mental health?
The tricky part of anybody's health is loving your job, and I do. My father came to this country from Ireland. He would always say to me, "You've got to wake up in the morning looking forward to what you're going to be doing all day. That's the most important part of being happy." So when I said to him, "Hey Dad, I think I want to be an actor or a writer," he looked at me and said, "Give it a shot. Hope it works out." A lot of guys, in his position, would have said, "What? Are you nuts?"
You and your wife have been married for about 20 years. What's your secret for success to a healthy, long marriage?
A sense of humor is key, and the children help; they make you forget about a lot of your own problems, because you have to focus on them. It's also a fighting spirit. You won't walk away, you're going to go right back into it. It's the same mentality that a boxer has, really: You go back into the ring for rounds 13, 14, and 15 and sudden-death overtime.
Thank you for submitting your response.
Good to Know is a new feature that allows members of the community to answer questions from WebMD experts, doctors, staff, and other community members. We're testing this new feature and we'd like your feedback.

After a recent health scare, I've decided it's time to get my house in order. When better than the start of a new month to start being healthier?
I've been exercising here and there, but nowhere near consistently. The younger, more in shape members of the copy desk have gotten me into long weekend bicycle rides as a group. I'm definitely the slowest, but I have fun.
I've decided to try to exercise six times a week and stick to a daily wake-up time. It's easy to fall into bad habits working nights, such as sleeping until just before work and rushing out the door. After all, there's no traffic around 2 p.m.
I started the wake-up time about a week ago, and I'm actually pretty impressed with the difference it's making. I'm going to sleep at a reasonable time, which is good for both scheduling and cutting out horrible, horrible late-night television.
I worked out yesterday, but couldn't today as I had to come into work super-early. Tomorrow is definitely a workout day, though.
I find myself craving foods that are better than me and feeling better in general. I know this is what is supposed to happen, but it's amazing to see the changes so quickly.
Anyone else working on developing healthy habits? If you love your healthy lifestyle, what helped you get on -- and stay on -- that bandwagon?

Posted on 03/29/2009 11:13:07 AM PDT by Chet 99
WARREN, Mich. - A woman sued a police dog that she blamed for injuries after it bit her in the buttocks. To a suburban Detroit judge, the bottom line was that the lawsuit was frivolous.
So Warren District Judge David Viviano slapped 55-year-old Inez Starks with a $500 fine.
The Eastpointe woman filed a lawsuit last August against the city of Warren, several police officers and Liberty, a German shepherd dog in the police department's K-9 unit.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
That doesn't sound very frivolous to me. Unless the dog barely nipped her, not even breaking skin.
That bites!
Well ain't that a bite in the arse!!!
Wouldn't we need some data (pics) regarding the "victim" to be able to provide a definitive judgment regarding the thoughts of the dog?
WARREN, Mich. — An Eastpointe woman who sued a Warren police dog was fined by a judge to pay $500 for frivolously naming the dog as a defendant. She was also fined another $500 for failing to appear in Macomb County Circuit Court for a February hearing.
Inez M. Starks, 55, filed a lawsuit in August against the city of Warren and several police officers for a 2007 incident outside of her daughter's Warren home. During the altercation, Starks claimed she was bitten in the buttocks by the Warren police dog Liberty.
Starks said she was bitten by the German shepherd April 7, 2007, outside of her daughter's home during a confrontation between police, her daughter and others.
Police went to the home after receiving a truancy complaint against Stark's daughter involving her daughter's child. During the visit police found the woman's brother, who had an outstanding warrant. The dog was brought in because the man started to flee.
The Macomb Daily reported that Starks, who was living across the street from her daughter at the time, said she came over to complain when a fight broke out, causing the dog to attack. Starks said she was bitten on her right buttock.
Starks claims the bite caused damage to her sacroiliac nerve, impairing her ability to walk and keeping her in pain.
But according to the police report of the incident, no evidence that Starks was bitten was found.
Judge David Viviano ordered Starks to pay the $1,000 fine by April 13 or her case will be dismissed.
According to the Maccomb Daily, even if Starks does pay the fine to have the case restored, attorney Raechel Badalamenti, representing the city of Warren, said the defendants will still ask the judge to dismiss the case.
If a police dog barges into your home and you shoot the dog in self defense that is considered murder of a police officer.
Justice is no longer a consideration in America.
Officials do not have to follow the same rules and the subjects. ( We are no longer citizens )
That doesnt sound very frivolous to me. Unless the dog barely nipped her, not even breaking skin.
Then that must mean that the dog wasn't putting out a 100% effort while doing his job.
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" "WOOF
I wish more judges would do what Judge David Viviano did. We would have a lot fewer frivolous lawsuits if more judges fined those who bring such suits...I would also recommend sanctioning the attorneys who file such frivolous lawsuits.
I wonder how Ms. Stark explains nerve damage (though she seems to be a very nervy person) when she cannot demonstrate she was actually bitten and had no medical evidence to present. I cannot envision someone being bitten by a canine not seeking medical attention. Her case was clearly frivolous and not only was she rightly sanctioned, her attorney should also have been sanctioned.
Not the point. You don't sue the dog, even if he tore an arm off... you sue his owner.
I'm not necessarily inclined to immediately believe the government on this matter. I have no idea whether or not she in fact lied, it's just that I don't completely believe a) what government prosecutors & judges say or b) what media outlets say; and especially c) what prosecutors & judges say through the media. About anything. Not these days.
She did sue the 'owners.' "The Eastpointe woman filed a lawsuit last August against the city of Warren, several police officers and Liberty, a German shepherd dog in the police department's K-9 unit." From mlive. Funny how only a few articles tell more of the story than "she sued a dog."
I pretty much agree with Judge Viviano except the fine should have been larger.
There is a guy in Oakland who felt the same way.
It must have been a member of the union.
Well, you do have a point there. However, in the case of police dogs, they are considered police officers. So maybe she should've sued the department?
Just another excerpt from the case files of:
So, you want your judges to treat their courts as revenue centers for the gov't??
Da Judge fined her, BUT said her case would be re-instated after payment of the fine.
If he truly felt the case frivolous, why reinstate after she enriches his coffers??
She'd have to have a pretty small a$$, and have sustained a pretty deep bite wound to have nerve damage, I'd think. Somehow, I doubt either is the case! Surely she has medical evidence to present?
Did the Dog get checked for HIV after that?
I'm not a doctor so I don't know. I don't know what "nerve damage" entails, exactly. All I know is I'm not going to take the media's accounts as factual on their faces, any more than I'd immediately take her account as factual without further research.
Would that be the guy on the BART train that was lying prone on the ground that was shot in the back by a transit cop? Caught on video no less.
When things like that happen it can make things very dangerous for other cops and the public. It might be why there were four dead Oakland officers shot dead a few weeks later, and why there was a mob supporting the killer.
It can turn into war right before your eyes.
If you shoot and kill a dog, police dog or not, you will not be charged with murder. You cannot legally "murder" a dog. Murder is the unlawful taking of a human life. A dog ain't human.
Hyperbole annoys me...
I wouldn't go so far as to say nobody in the police force or court system doesn't want justice. I would say many regard it as their own personal sandbox to make up the rules as they go along.
And I would also say there are many in the police and court system that taint it so that most people believe they are all corrupt. Certainly with dogs there is one set of rules for police and another for citizens.
It will be for killing an officer. There are special laws that make police dogs 'officers'. Such laws are only in place in certain areas of the US, not country-wide.
I wonder if Snoopy, the world-famous attorney, has come forward and offered to serve as counsel for the dog.
This charge is still not murder. Murder involves killing another human being. Killing an animal, reguardless of its status is not murder.
No ands, ifs, or buts. In order to commit murder, a human being must die. Nothing else works...
...the bottom line...
I know, dummy. I didn't say it was. Read what I actually write instead of just going off.
In Post 8, 1believer wrote "If a police dog barges into your home and you shoot the dog in self defense that is considered murder of a police officer."
In Post 26, I wrote, "If you shoot and kill a dog, police dog or not, you will not be charged with murder. You cannot legally murder a dog. Murder is the unlawful taking of a human life. A dog aint human."
Then you wrote in Post 28, "It will be for killing an officer. There are special laws that make police dogs officers. Such laws are only in place in certain areas of the US, not country-wide."
You stated that "it", refering to the charge, would be murder. If not, what the hell did "it" refer to. You aren't suggesting a dog is human are you? What does "it" refer to if not the charge of murder?
You cannot murder an animal. A dog is an animal. You cannot murder a dog. See how that works, dummy?

"When I showed 'Black and the Red III' in Malmö, Sweden, it was a continuum- a band- all around the gallery...seeing this huge space in the gallery in Malmö, I just took a deep breath and I put the paper around in a single band. Then I continued along, printing on the wall like a trompe l'oeil to reiterate the images in the work printed on paper that I had push-pinned to the wall. I literally took the rhythm and the images from 'Black and the Red III' and continued that on the wall."

City buildings still for saleStaff Report | February 13,2013The Dana and Watkins buildings are still on the market.
Tuesday night, the Rutland City School Board extended the purchase-and-sale agreement for the Watkins Building to Aug. 31. The district signed an agreement to sell the building for $100,000 to the Housing Trust of Rutland County, with a closing date of Dec. 1.
In November, the Housing Trust received a zoning variance to create 14 senior living apartments, three shy of the 17 units requested.
The board also voted to extend the listing for the Dana Building to April 30. Board member Hurley Cavacas, Jr., who serves on the Building Committee, said there might be a buyer for the property.MORE IN This Just In

Texas Baptists have a goal of taking the Gospel of Jesus to every dwelling in Texas by the end of 2000.
But the people who are the fruits of all that missionary work need strong churches to join, a statewide leader told members of the Amarillo Baptist Association Monday.
James Semple, director of the State Missions Committee of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, spoke to ABA messengers who gathered at the First Baptist Church of Panhandle for their 46th annual meeting.
According to a recent poll, Semple said, "A vast majority of people who go to church say they came away with no real sense of meeting God while they were there."
A lot of churches today are lukewarm, Semple said, "but the Lord wants us to be boiling hot. We need to be on fire for God."
Part of the BGCT's Texas 2000 goal is to strengthen churches, so they can become "a family of loving, committed Christians," Semple said.
A committee of lay people based in Kerrville has a goal of mailing the "Jesus Video," a videotape on the life of Christ, to every home in Texas, Semple said. He said the target date is Easter 2000, and the estimated number of videos needed is 8.3 million.
The state needs to have 6,200 Southern Baptist churches in place by the end of the century in order to keep up with population growth and the anticipated membership increase, Semple said.
"We're on target to do that," he said. "As of this year, we have about 6,000 congregations."
Hispanic churches and missions are an important facet of church growth in Texas, Semple said. The Hispanic population of Texas now is estimated at 5.5 million.
"Nearly 2,000 of the 6,000 Southern Baptist congregations in Texas are black, Hispanic or ethnic," Semple said.
Semple said he does not know how many Texans have been visited in their homes by a Baptist missionary since the Texas 2000 effort was launched in 1995. The program is being carried out at the local level, and statistics are kept by local churches and associations rather than at the BGCT headquarters in Dallas, he said.

I am just back from a vacation in Playacar where I stayed at the Iberostar Tucan with my two sons (25 and 31). I don't have enough praise for the Hotel and staff.
The grounds are stunning. The layout around the jungle is perfect. Wildlife everywhere. The common areas are clean clean clean. The ground staff are ever present and thier attention is obvious. The beach and pool are clean as well. Again...attention. A short walk north on the beach will give an appreciation for the amount of attention the staff puts into keeping the beach clean.
My room...amazing (1327). Howler Monkeys at my balcony every day. And lush jungle. My room was kept spotless by the staff. The bed...yes,firm...but I liked that. Quiet. Could hear some of the show sounds from the pavillion but the shows end fairly early.
Food. I won't say excellent, but, I will say very good and plenty of variety. Considering the price I paid for this "all inclusive" and what I have paid in the past at other resorts, I have no problem using Excellent Value to desrcibe our stay. The bars are great. You don't want "well liquor" in your drinks??? ASK....just ask and you will be given any of the top shelf that is behind the bar. The bartenders and waitresses??? fantastic. Hint; talk to them, introduce yourself, TIP!!!!!!! The very first day they knew my and my sons names and never forgot ( although they did change my name to Senior' Whiskers ).
Staff. Wonderfull. Friendly. Accomadating. Attentive. Show them your appreciation and it will come back tenfold.
This hotel is a great jumping-off point for the many things to do in the area. We all, despite the age difference ( 25,31,59 ), found so much to do and see. Off grounds; try Rio Secreto, Chichen Itza, Maroma Watersports, Tulum ( it just goes on ). On grounds; there is so very much to do...snorkle, kayak and sail, swim, organized activities, or my personal favorite...reading on the beach with a Mohito.
Will I go back? Already planning a return trip. If any of the Oberistar Staff see this post, Thank You for your kindness and attention.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Privileged situation directly on the beach of Playacar, around 3 km from the town of Playa del Carmen. Specially recommended for honeymooners. Varied, colourful entertainment programme. Large pool area. ... more less

Of all the things to obsess about, toilet paper has never been at the top of my list.
Or the bottom.
Then I met Jeff Wells, a pleasant, earnest ornithologist who lives in Maine and was visiting Philly. Wells and a few environmental groups say I should buy paper products made from recycled paper - not trees.
Now, Wells obsesses about birds, billions of which breed in Canada's boreal forest, which he also obsesses about because he's a scientist with the International Boreal Conservation Campaign.

A stepping stone into the future
Published: Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 1:39 a.m.
A 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee has become a centerpiece of hands-on learning in the Blue Ridge Community College automotive systems technology training program.
The new vehicle was recently donated by Chrysler for Blue Ridges Automotive Systems Technology Program. Blue Ridge Community College and Chrysler are part of the Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) partnership.
The AYES partnership involves automotive manufacturers, dealers and selected high schools and community colleges in encouraging young people to consider and be prepared for entry-level careers or advanced studies in automotive technology. This partnership and donation of equipment will make it possible for students enrolled at Blue Ridge Community College to receive all the educational advantages Chrysler and Blue Ridge Community Colleges AYES program has to offer. Customers and technicians alike have much to gain from this donation. It provides further educational opportunities for technicians and helps offer Chrysler customers a positive ownership experience. An official passing-of-the-keys was held last month at local dealer Egolf Motors.
Its always a pleasure to share with you the successes of our students. I have talked with a lot of students and graduates during the past few weeks about their academic and career successes. I want to share some of their stories with you.
Derrick Huggins feels blessed. He has a job with a stable future. But there is more to it than just having a job. Derrick has a job that he loves in the community where he grew up. He teaches physical education at Rosman Elementary and coaches football and baseball at his alma mater, Rosman High School. But when Derrick graduated from high school in 2003, he did not have a game plan. He knew he wanted to go to college but was undecided about a career choice or which college to attend. He had a part-time lawn business that he needed to keep going in order to pay for college, so going away to college did not seem like a viable option. Derrick discovered that Blue Ridge Community College would be the best transition for him from high school to a four year university. Derrick spent two years at Blue Ridge and ultimately received a bachelors degree from nearby Western Carolina University in 2007. I still tell people about the great faculty at Blue Ridge Community College, says Derrick. The small class size gave me a better chance to be successful. Derrick is an enthusiastic ambassador for Blue Ridge Community College. He encourages his athletes to think about Blue Ridge Community College when exploring college. I tell them to consider Blue Ridge Community College as their first choice.
I will never have to worry about the rising costs of car insurance or getting a speeding ticket. Thats what Corey Johnson tells his friends at Blue Ridge Community College. Corey was born with a rare genetic condition called oculocutaneous albinism. This condition causes vision abnormalities and limits his ability to do many things others take for granted. Throughout his life Corey has learned to take the obstacles created by his illness and turn them into learning experiences. Blue Ridge Community College has been one of the stepping stones in his life. He credits caring and interested faculty and staff in helping him become a more confident and independent person. I never hear anyone complain when I ask them to enlarge a test or read a bulletin to me because the print was too small, Corey told other students at the Colleges annual Scholarship Appreciation Luncheon. They were always there to help me. Corey is continuing his pursuit of higher education. He transferred this month to Pensacola Christian College in Florida.
Lee Anna Haney is director of public relations at Blue Ridge Community College and can be reached at (828) 694-1885 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After a week of trying to dump the eMMC (spoilers: didn't happen yet), I've decided to post this update about things I've tried to do (and how I tried to do it) and where the money is going to. Continue reading

Random observations on Vita logic board
While I'm waiting for more tools to arrive, here's some things I've found while playing around with the continuity test on a multimeter. There is no stunning discovery here, just bits and pieces of thoughts that may not be completely accurate. Continue reading
PS Vita NAND Pinout
As promised, here's the pinout for the Vita's eMMC (NAND). Don't be fooled by the picture; the size of the resistors are TINY. Plus, if you noticed, half the traces are almost hugging the shield base (which is pretty hard to remove without disturbing the resistors). I hope I can find a better way to dump the eMMC than soldering to these points. It's doubtful that they are exposed elsewhere as I've checked every unfilled pad on both sides of the board. Wish me luck…
Removing the CPU and NAND from PSVita
Thanks again to everyone who helped fund this project! This is the first part of the long journey into hardware land. I bought a non-working Vita logic board from eBay, which arrived yesterday, packaged like a freeze-dried snack.
In order to locate the trace from the eMMC (aka the NAND), my plan was to take a broken logic board and remove the eMMC chip and use the exposed pads and trace it to a test point or something. Then take another Vita logic board (this time with the eMMC still attached) and solder wires to the test point and dump it with an SD card reader or something (as eMMC uses the same interface as SD cards). This is a complicated plan, but it's necessary because I am not professional enough to be able to remount the eMMC (which is a tiny fine-ball-grid-array (FBGA) chip) once the trace is found. Continue reading
Unlimited Backgrounding on iOS
Since iOS4, developers have the ability to perform background tasks with some limitations. Background tasks must fit one of the five different categories for background supported apps. Music and streaming apps can be backgrounded as long as they play music. Newsstand apps can wake once a day to download updates. Location aware apps can wake up once in a while to update their position. VOIP apps can have one socket (I found out the hard way that the one socket does not include listener sockets) connected in the background. General apps can request up to 10 minutes to finish some task. While this is enough for most backgrounding purposes, sometimes we need backgrounding for more advanced tasks. Specifically, I wanted to write a HTTP proxy server that runs on the device (in the future, this proxy server will work as an ad-blocking proxy) in the background. I will show you the steps of making this work. Please note that Apple will certainly reject any app that abuses their backgrounding policy so doing so would only be useful for personal and enterprise uses. Continue reading
I need your help to fund Vita hardware analysis
It's been a little more than a year since I demonstrated the first Vita running unsigned code, and it's been dead silent since then. There is a lot of work on the PSP emulator but it's been pretty quiet on the Vita front. In fact, there hasn't even been any new userland exploits found (by me or others) for a year. I made a post a while ago saying that progress through hardware was one of the few options we haven't looked extensively at, and the reason for that is because hardware hacking is an expensive endeavor. All this time I've been sitting and waiting for progress to be made by some unknown genius or some Chinese piracy company (sadly, for some scenes *cough* 3DS *cough*, this is the way devices get hacked since these companies have the money to do it); progress that would allow people like me to continue with the software work. Unfortunately, as of today, I have not heard of any ongoing work on Vita hardware hacking (PLEASE tell me if you are so we can collaborate). In fact, one of the simplest thing to do (hardware-wise), dumping the NAND, hasn't been done (or publicly stated to be done) yet. Meanwhile, the PS4 has gotten its NAND dumped in a couple of weeks. Since nobody else seem to be serious about getting this device unlocked and poked at by hobbyists, I feel like it's time for me to learn how to stop fearing and love the hardware. And I need your help. Continue reading

Tell me, what the hell was on this site? I used to go there purely for the forums, and now that it's merged with everyone else, is ther really any point in it? Will Mojo ever bother to bring it back if and when they can, and if so, will that news bulliten ever be updated from the SW galaxies news (that it has arrived)? or are we just going to axe it and remember the
From what I recall, EMI.com hasn't been updated in nearly two years. I don't know how much point it is to revive the site, other than for prosperity's sake.
Ah yesh, the good old days, when we were still connected to the rest of LF, and people were here for fun, and everyone was annoyed at everyone else for running into walls for fun.
I'd like to see more of those days.
No ones ever gonna ****ing read this, man
They will now that you've bumped it...
Just as proof of what you say this is the first post here in over a year.
Lets ATTEMPT to get someone else to answer here instead of Fealiks. Possible? :bored:

Gr 9-11
Megan, 16, and her older sister, Lucy, attend the Chesapeake School of the Arts in Baltimore. Lucy is the beautiful and talented school darling, majoring in drama. Megan is a techie, one of the unattractive nerds majoring in set design. She has lived in her sister's shadow, but their relationship has always been loving, with Lucy supportive of her younger sibling. Then, on the night of the school's fall festival, Megan overhears Lucy making negative comments about her looks and overstuffed dress. Overwhelmed with feelings of betrayal, anger, and grief, she runs out of the building, stopping only when she is hit by an oncoming car. Months later, the bandages come off and she is well enough to return to school-as one of the beautiful people. Reconstructive surgery has given her a face more stunning than Lucy's and has wrought more changes in her life than she thought possible. Her secret wishes are coming true, but at what price? The constant attention and focus on her beauty is confusing to her, and she's no longer sure of who she is or what she wants. The protagonist has a strong voice and is a good role model for teens who think that life is easier if you're the pretty one.-Heather E. Miller, Homewood Public Library, AL

Michael Conroy, Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Team officials and coaches have tried to avoid any discussion about Peyton Manning during this week's annual NFL scouting combine.
Good luck trying that in a town Manning put on the NFL radar and in a venue he helped build.
On Saturday, Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel let it slip that the Chiefs would be interested in pursuing the four-time league MVP — if the Colts let him leave as a free agent.
"I'm not supposed to talk about anybody else's players, and he's still a player with Indianapolis," Crennel said, referring to the league's tampering rules. "But with a talent like that, I would be crazy not to consider it if he were available. I'll leave it at that."
That's as close as anybody has gotten to speculating about Manning's future this week.
Clearly, though, Manning's future is the hot topic in Indy.
Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano were peppered with questions Thursday about Manning's fate. If Indianapolis does not pay a $28 million bonus by March 8, the longtime face of the Colts could wind up signing with another team.
There are indications Manning could be on the move after missing the entire 2011 season.
In September, the 35-year-old quarterback had surgery on his neck to repair a damaged nerve that was causing weakness in his throwing arm. It was the third known neck surgery in 19 months, and there have been questions about his arm strength. Indy holds the No. 1 overall pick in April, and team owner Jim Irsay already has said the Colts will use the pick to select their next franchise quarterback, perhaps making Manning expendable.
The speculation over Manning's health only has been superseded by rumors about potential landing spots for the yet-to-be released quarterback.
"We're looking for a great decision maker. We're looking for a leader. We're looking for an accurate passer. We're looking for a guy that has excellent game management skills, excellent decision maker, a guy that has pocket presence and awareness, the leadership skills," new Miami coach Joe Philbin said Thursday. "Obviously, the stronger the arm, the more velocity, the better, but we're looking for a guy that can manage a team, lead a team, make good decisions in critical times and make big plays when games are on the line."
Although that sounds like someone with Manning's pedigree, Philbin never mentioned the quarterback by name.
Jets coach Rex Ryan couldn't get away that easily. Some believe New York, where Manning's brother, Eli, already plays for the Giants, would be a perfect spot. The Jets, who have gone to the AFC title game twice in three years, may be just an upgrade at quarterback away from reaching the Super Bowl.
Ryan tried, creatively, to dodge the question.
"Are you talking about my son (Payton), or some other Peyton?" Ryan said, drawing laughter. "I think first off, Peyton is under contract to a different team, so I can't talk about him specifically. But with our organization, we will look at everybody. There is a list of 10 free agent quarterbacks that I've looked at. There's the draft guys I've looked at. In my opinion, we have the best corner in football, in the history of football, along with Deion Sanders and we are still looking at a million corners."
Even fans are becoming lobbyists.
In Miami and Nashville, Tenn., there are billboards trying to persuade team officials to sign Manning, but not everyone is listening.
"I understand it from a fan's perspective," Titans general manager Ruston Webster said. "But I'd tell them we like our guys, and you've got to be patient. We've got a good quarterback situation and it's improved a lot since last year."

Synthetic biology, patenting, health and global justice

The legal and moral issues that synthetic biology (SB) and its medical applications are likely to raise with regard to intellectual property (IP) and patenting are best approached through the lens of a theoretical framework highlighting the "co-construction" or "co-evolution" of patent law and technology. The current situation is characterized by a major contest between the so-called IP frame and the access-to-knowledge frame. In SB this contest is found in the contrasting approaches of Craig Venter's chassis school and the BioBricks school. The stakes in this contest are high as issues of global health and global justice are implied. Patents are not simply to be seen as neutral incentives, but must also be judged on their effects for access to essential medicines, a more balanced pattern of innovation and the widest possible social participation in innovative activity. We need moral imagination to design new institutional systems and new ways of practising SB that meet the new demands of global justice.

I know the next version of WordPress is going to have drop down navigation management (at least that's the rumor) so that's cool. But I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to have drop down navigation and then manage additional sub-navigation for pages that will then appear in the left column of the page.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated. Anyone know when the next version is set to be released?

|Club Description:
The Algebra/Geometry Clinic is a place where students can meet in a low stress environment to get additional assistance with their Algebra or Geometry studies. Students can receive homework help/content assistance, test review, test re-take revisit time, and a place to ask questions that they might not have been able to ask in class. Students should bring work that they need assistance with to the club.
Note that students may attend either clinic for help, but the content area specified gets priority. For example, Wednesday is primarily an Algebra 1 help day, but once those students have been helped, Geometry students may be helped as well.
If you are staying after school for the Algebra/Geometry Clinic, please bring a filled in club permission form the first time you attend. We cannot let you stay if you do not have one.
If you are coming before school, please bring a note stating that you are coming early for Algebra Clinic.
Parents, thank you for promptly picking up your child at 4:20pm by the side entrance of the school.

Because absenteeism typically comes under the "minor problem" category, the first step is a precounseling session between the individual and his supervisor. In this session the supervisor determines if the employee understands the company's policy on absences. The positive discipline approach then consists of the following stages:
FMLA Guidelines
We'll assist you in tracking and managing intermittent FMLA leave … fighting FMLA fraud and FMLA abuse … and managing FMLA in general.
Beyond mastering FMLA regulations on intermittent leave, we'll share FMLA guidelines on how to curb FMLA abuse, and dramatically improve your overall FMLA compliance.
When employees lose their jobs, they often look for a reason to sue. One common tactic is to argue that a layoff was used as an excuse to get rid of "unproductive" employees, especially those who take advantage of their right to FMLA leave. That's why HR must develop a performance-appraisal system that documents that having taken FMLA leave wasn't a factor when you evaluated employees' work.
Don't write off a lawsuit just because a former employee misses state discrimination agency and EEOC deadlines to file a complaint. If the employee has an FMLA-related claim, she has up to three years to file a federal lawsuit. And she doesn't have to file anything with the EEOC or a New York state or local discrimination agency.
A federal court has shot down an employee's claim that he should have received an accommodation because of his association with a disabled individual. That's good news, as it nixes time off to care for a disabled individual if the employee isn't otherwise eligible for FMLA leave.

My grandmother Julia was a Logan. She was born in New York, New York, USA in 1886. Her parents were Charles & Kathryn (née McKenna) Logan. The only thing I know is that she came from Cook County, Kerry, Ireland. We do not know anything about my grandfather. Any and all information would be helpful.
Lynn Berdelle Dashner
Could you provide some clarification and a few more details? You say Julia was born in NY, but came from Ireland. Did you mean her parents were from Ireland? Both of them? Do you have any further details about Charles and Kathryn, such as birth dates or death dates? Did they have children other than Julia and if so, do you know their names? You say you know nothing about your grandfather, does that include his name? If Julia is your grandmother, one of your parents is her child? Can you tell me a name and birthdate for your parent and whether they had siblings? Do you have a death date and location for Julia?
When searching it helps to have as much detail as possible.

All Rise...
Judge Clark Douglas snorts some Oxycontin just before writing every review.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Nurse Jackie: Season One (published March 18th, 2010), Nurse Jackie: Season Two (Blu-ray) (published February 21st, 2011), Nurse Jackie: Season Three (Blu-ray) (published March 27th, 2012), and Nurse Jackie: Season Five (Blu-ray) (published March 19th, 2014) are also available.
The Charge
Life is full of little pricks.
Opening Statement
"Did anyone else see that?"
Facts of the Case
Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco, The Sopranos) is a veteran nurse who works at a New York City hospital. She works longer hours than anyone else at the hospital and she's willing to do whatever it takes to help others and to help herself get through the day. Falling under the category of "whatever it takes" are such activities as pill-popping, signature forging, "nooners" with a co-worker, making decisions well beyond her paygrade and other less-than-ethical activities. Some of these she is forced to hide; her superiors turn a blind eye to the rest. Why? Because whatever else she is, Nurse Jackie is very good at her job.
All 12 first-season episodes are spread across two Blu-ray discs:
Disc One
Disc Two
The Evidence
Showtime has quietly developed a reputation for creating programs centered around strong female characters with complex lives. Nurse Jackie is the latest addition to that lineup, boasting a commanding and compelling performance from Edie Falco. While Nurse Jackie is a character every bit as compelling as Tara of United States of Tara or Nancy Botwin of Weeds, I feel like the program itself hasn't quite managed to reach its full potential yet.
There is the distinct sense that Nurse Jackie is trying to achieve some measure of profundity, but as of yet I'm not sure it really knows precisely what it wants to be so insightful about. There are many little moments of truth scattered throughout these 12 episodes, small snapshots that give us some insight into these characters and the world they inhabit. Alas, the show adds up to a little less than the sum of its parts, as Nurse Jackie never quite manages to pull these pieces together in a manner that really elevates the program to the next level (not that it doesn't try). My advice is to take the little pieces as they come and make of them what you will.
However you may feel about the healthcare debating that is currently taking place in America, it must be admitted that our healthcare system is deeply flawed and in desperate need of reform/repair. Some of the best moments of the program occur when Nurse Jackie addresses these flaws on a human level, taking an intimate look at how the larger problems affect smaller individuals. It's in this area that the title character begins to approach some measure of sainthood, cutting through red tape and political B.S. to provide patients in need with a practical (though often illegal) solution. I'm reminded of Robert De Niro's rogue duct repairman in Terry Gilliam's increasingly relevant Brazil, who daringly dismissed loads of convoluted and complicated paperwork in favor of simply handling repair problems in the most logical manner possible.
Falco is most assuredly the program's greatest attribute, a fully-developed and fascinating protagonist whose flaws are made forgivable thanks to the great deal of good she does for her fellow human beings. She's the steeliest character in the program, but also the most compassionate. Sure, someone like the affable Dr. Cooper (a surprisingly hilarious Peter Facinelli, The Big Kahuna) might seem like more appealing company, but when you're a patient in need he's not the one you want in the room. There's also an intriguing contrast between Jackie's home life (where she is a loving wife and mother of two young girls) and her work life (where she is a feared and respected lone wolf) that Falco gets to play to maximum effect. Judge her if you wish, but the world would be worse off without Nurse Jackie. Her flaws enable her to be the person that she is.
I've frequently heard/read the complaint that there's no way a nurse could perform so well while taking so many drugs. I would respond to this complaint by noting that all drugs are not alike, and that under the right circumstances certain illegal substances could certainly be performance-enhancing (a fact this program is fully aware of…contrast Jackie's strong job performance with that of a co-worker whom she fires for using drugs while on the job). While there may certainly be health consequences down the road for Jackie, she isn't taking anything that would make her less effective in the present.
The hi-def transfer is disappointingly average, only managing to become genuinely strong on a handful of occasions. The show has a tendency to look a bit drab visually, bleak tones offsetting the warm pinks and blues of the hospital and wrapped in a surprisingly thick (though inconsistent) layer of grain. Flesh tones are accurate, blacks are moderately deep and detail is decent enough. Audio is merely okay as well, despite the 7.1 mix. The eclectic music come through with relative clarity, dialogue is clean and the sound design is perfectly adequate.
The supplements are a little on the thin side. Four audio commentaries featuring Falco, writer/producers Linda Wallem and Liz Brixius and co-executive producer Ritchie Jackson are offered, which are pleasant but a bit lightweight. You also get a small handful of brief EPK-style featurettes: "All About Edie" (5 minutes), "Unsung Heroes" (5 minutes), "Prepping Nurse Jackie" (11 minutes) and "Nurse Stories" (7 minutes). That's it.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Aside from my aforementioned issues with the show's lack of direction, I'm also a little disappointed by how lacking in dimension many of the supporting players are. Too many members of the supporting cast are just given one note to play: the sincere husband (Dominic Fusuma, As the World Turns), the gay best friend (Haaz Sleiman, The Visitor), the quirky administrator (Anna Deavere Smith, The West Wing) and so on. Some of the players manage to make their characters work despite their limitations (Merrit Wever as a flustered young nurse is particularly amusing in her one-note part), but the writers really need to give some of these characters more to work with.
Closing Statement
There may not be much to separate Nurse Jackie from most television medical dramas, but Falco's performance alone makes it worth checking out. Here's hoping the rest of the show eventually starts to live up to her standard.
The Verdict
Not guilty.

Australia's Shark Cull
- January 9, 2014
- Posted by: Fergy
- Category: Outsourced Material Rambling Scientific Literacy & Applicability Uncategorized
The Western Australian Government has decided to institute a shark cull. "Any shark more than three metres long – which could include Great White, Tiger and Bull sharks – will be shot and disposed of" after be ensnared by the baited hooks which line the beach 1 km off shore.
More than 4,000 people gathered for a demonstration at Perth's Cottesloe beach alone.
Although sharks have a bad reputation thanks to Hollywood movies, in reality they are responsible for very few deaths – 2 per year in Australia and 5 around the world. Conversely, Hippos kill almost 3,000 people annually in Africa. Deer kill over 130 and yet we limit the hunting of them.
Here are 20 things that kill many more humans than sharks each year.

* Dense fog advisory through noon Sunday *
Update, 9:40 p.m. Saturday night: Dense fog is once again developing throughout the D.C. metro region and may last well into Sunday morning. If the fog and low clouds hang tough, temperatures on Sunday may not be as warm as much as initially forecast...closer to the low 60s rather than upper 60s.
Today: AM fog, some PM sun. 54-63. | Tonight: Partly cloudy. 42-49. | Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, very mild. 64-71. | Get Express Forecast by E-mail
A daily assessment of the potential for *accumulating* snow for the next week on a 0-10 scale. More info
Today (Saturday): Fog and a wedge of cool marine air (temps in the 40s) hang around this morning and may even stubbornly stick around into this afternoon. There's a saying "the wedge always wins" and that may be the case, especially northeast of I-95 where highs may only reach the mid-50s. West and southwest of town (towards Warrenton), sunshine may emerge in the morning hours boosting afternoon highs into the mid-60s (or even higher). Around the District, we'll call for a high just shy of 60, plus or minus a few degrees, with some afternoon sun. Light winds gradually become southerly around 5 mph. Confidence: Low-Medium
Tonight: For the most part, skies are partly cloudy though some more fog may develop late. This time any fog is patchy as opposed to widespread. Lows are mild, generally in the 40s. Confidence: Medium
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend...
Tomorrow (Sunday): This is the pick of the weekend. Yes, some patchy fog is possible during the morning and it's more cloudy than not during the day. But we can't rule out some sunnier intervals and a big push of mild air from the south rules the day, with highs well into the 60s throughout the region with 70+ temperatures possible south of town. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Cloudy skies with rain showers possibly developing after 1 a.m., with better (but not great) odds towards dawn (40 percent chance). It's quite mild with lows only near 50. Confidence: Medium
Intermittent rain showers are likely Monday, with some possible breaks. It's cooler, with highs 50-55. Another round of rain showers may move Monday night as temperatures continue to trend downward. Lows dip into the upper 30s to low 40s. Confidence:Low-Medium
A cold front will have pushed through the region on Tuesday, but a wave of low pressure may develop along it and track close enough to give us another round of rain showers. It's not completely out of the question rain mixes with or changes to snow, especially in our colder north and west suburbs. It's probably much cooler, with highs only 40-45. Confidence: Low

I really liked that it was reusable, on sale (purchased after prom season), and didn't look like a prom decoration at a large scale event. The only problem I have with the arch is it is diffcult to store for future use as the pieces are awkward in shape and size.

1 answer
A:12-15 lbs
Q:If my walkway is only 6' wide, can this arch fit in it and "stretch" making it taller and skinnier? How many pieces does it have?
1 answer
A:While there is a little give in the shape of this item, the frame is made of metal and doesn't "stretch". The term "stretch arch" refers to the material covering the metal frame.
