"It's..." You looked closely at the object held in your hands and pondered on hwat the heck it could be. After a few seconds, you sighed and shrugged. "I have no clue what this is. Who owns this... thing?" You chuckled to yourself, shaking your head.
Bulgaria stood up and walked over to you. He inspected the item and nodded. "It's mind." Standing straight, he asked, "Shall we go to the closet?" Completely stumped on the object you held, you nodded though your thoughts weren't on the game right now. The country stood in front of you, sighing as he tried to get you to follow him by motioning with his head to come with him. You just stared at the item as Bulgaria walked to the closet.
"Dude, (f/n)." America nudged your shoulder to get your attention, but you continued to take up time with staring at Bulgaria's item. You felt you should know what it is, but it slipped your mind; it was on the tip of you tongue! "Dude! Don't make me carry you to the closet!" You weren't paying him any attention. "All right, (f/n), you brought this on yourself."
America bent down, grabbed you by the waist, and hoisted you up over his shoulder. This definitely got your attention. "Holy shitaka-mushrooms!" You grasped the object closer to yourself so it wouldn't fall out of your hands. "Alfred! Put me down!"
"With pleasure." He lightly tossed you to the closet floor. The object fumbled a bit in your hands, but you were able to grab it again before it landed on the ground. "Okay, now you guys have seven minutes before I come back. You two better have down something besides sitting and staring at Bulgaria's item." The blond pouted at you as he shut the door.
You stared at the door as best you could in the dark. Bulgaria moved to get more comfortable as he sat next to you. You jumped when you noticed his movement. Blinking, you chuckled at yourself.
"Sorry." You softly said. "I should be playing this game instead of trying to figure out what your item is." Bulgaria was still silent. You sighed. "It's because little things like these that are a mystery to me that I sometimes forget whatever else is going on. I figure I must be a scientist or researcher, or even an architect; something along those lings. I...I don't really get out because of that either."
Bulgaria nodded to your little ramble. "That's fine. At least I know what interests you." He blushed slightly though you didn't catch what he said. Clearing his throat, he asked. "Would you like me to tell you what it is?"
You thought about it, shaking your head. "Nah, I'll try to figure it out on my own." For the next few minutes you examined the object. You were guilty about Bulgaria's turn not turning into much but as soon as you were going to apologize again, you finally remembered what the object was. "Of course I should know what this is! I saw an article about some of these, but..." you looked at Bulgaria, "how did you... How were you able to keep it for your own personal item collection, or something?"
The item in your hands was, in fact, an artifact found in Northern Bulgaria. This little piece of molded gold was one of, you think, 44 applications of female figures. It was in a tomb that is said to be linked to Alexander the Great as well as the first known Getic ruler, Cothelas. The article you read was from a year ago, almost exactly. You couldn't help but wonder how Bulgaria could get his hands on one of these.
He smiled slightly, understanding what you were trying to ask. Chuckleng to himself, he stated, "It was found in my country, and it was asked to be taken, so I took one without any of the others knowing."
Your mouth fell agape. "No way, you literally just took this?" Bulgaria nodded. "That is so cool! Could I possibly see the other artifacts if I visit your country?" He nodded again but with a faint blush. "Great!" You leapt over and hugged him. "Oh my goodness, I can't wait to see them all with you! It'll be so much fun!"
Bulgaria's face went furiously red. He couldn't believe you were hugging him! If he had known how much stuff like that artifact interested and excited you, he would have mentioned them a long time ago; when they were found. Finally hugging you back, he stiffly embraced you before placing a soft peck on your cheek.
Your face flushed as you felt something brush against the skin on your cheek. You weren't sure if you were imagining the touch since it was so soft, but all thoughts were brushed aside as the door swung open.
"All right dudes, you accidentally got a few more minutes than planned and- Oh, I see that you are touching, but a hug? Seriously?" Alfred sighed as he shrugged. "At least that's something other than our science, architect geek here studying the artifact." He chuckled and left with the door open for you two to exit.
Blushing slightly, you bounced up to your feet, smiling down at Bulgaria as you extended a hand towards him. "So, when can I come visit you to see more artifacts?"
Bulgaria smiled shyly up at you as he took your hand and stood beside you, exiting the closet along with you. "Any time you are free, (f/n). Any time."
Note that I've never written anything with Bulgaria before, besides the little thing in Romania's story, but other than that, he's all new to me. I don't really know him that well, I know that he was in the anime and of course the manga, but I'm not familiar with him. Also, the artifact that was described is a real artifact, I don't know what it's called, but I did a bit of research on any Bulgarian Artifacts and that article mentioned came up with the founding in Northern Bulgaria of many artifacts within a tomb. I'm not really a history geek, but when it comes to little things like that, they interest me.

LAKE COUNTY -- Canine heartworm disease is common in Lake County. Yet it's one of the most preventable and easily treated diseases if caught in its early stages.
Heartworm occurs in dogs when an infected mosquito bites a dog. As the mosquito feeds it injects a parasite called Dirofilaria immitis into the dog's bloodstream. Over a period of 10-to-14 days the worms migrate through the dog's blood vessels to the heart and lungs. The worms can grow as long a foot and will reproduce more worms.
A dog may be infected with heartworm disease for more than year before any symptoms develop. Once infected the dog becomes a host for the bacteria, and if another mosquito bites the dog it can transmit that bacteria to other dogs. Only the female mosquito can transmit the disease.
In Lake County the primary mosquito that is responsible for heartworm disease is the western tree-hole mosquito. These aren't the typical mosquitoes found in your backyard pools, they live and breed in tree cavities and are common throughout the rural areas of the county. They are also the most ferocious of all mosquitoes.
An annual test can determine if a dog is infected with heartworm. If the dog isn't infected then it should be given a preventative medication. The medication must be given monthly to prevent heartworms. The cost for the medication runs about $100 per year depending on the size of the dog.
More information about heartworm disease can be found on the American Heartworm Society website at http://www.heartwormsociety.org/.

Tractura – Severe Back Pain Relief When You Need It Most
Get back pain relief between Physical Therapy visits! Use Tractura 10 – 20 minutes a day to relieve pain and improve your mobility.
About this project
Millions of us suffer from severe lower back pain every day!
For most, weekly visits to Physical Therapy is the only option to get relief from severe lower back pain. But what can you do between visits to duplicate the relief lumbar traction offers when pain flares up after a long day at work or after sitting in a car?
Use Tractura for 10 – 20 minutes to relieve pain when you feel it.
Tractura was created by Dr. Gazayerli, a General Surgeon and Associate Professor. For years, he suffered from severe lower disc pain and compressed nerve issues, and like most, Lumbar Traction, (or non-surgical spinal decompression), was the only therapy that worked for him. As a surgeon, finding time to travel to physical therapy was a challenge. After trying a number of in-home devices that failed to provide the same relief he felt in physical therapy, he decided to create a device he could use at home and at the office to relieve his lower back pain. It's taken two years and input from numerous spine specialists and back pain patients to develop several prototypes. Now, we're ready to do our first production run.
With so many devices out there, we're proud to have a product that provides real relief:
To help others like Alberto, we need your support getting our product into production!
We've set a goal of $197,200 to cover the costs of tooling, materials, and assembly.
Our goal is to begin shipping product to customers by Labor Day 2016.
Please click the green button and back our project!
Thank you!!
Meet Mat, he's been suffering back pain for years. Check out what he has to say!
Risks and challenges
Anyone who has been through the process of bringing a product to market knows that manufacturing comes with it's own unique challenges. Dr. Gazayerli has taken the time to surround himself with a strong team of people to help support the development, production and delivery of this product.
The prototype is complete. The product is patented. We've made final vendor selections for production and assembly, and we're nearly done finalizing fulfillment.
We're blessed to have a team of advisors, volunteers, and industry experts to help us navigate the manufacturing and delivery for this product!
As we move forward, we'll keep you up-to-date with our progress as we move toward our first ship date!

When people ask me what was the most fun I had in the Army, the answer is simple: bustin' caps.
Or in Army terms: Heading to the weapons range.
Like anyone else who has gone through basic training, the correct term is "weapon" — not "gun" — when describing an M16 rifle, Beretta 9mm, M240 machine gun or countless others.
But, c'mon. We all say it. These are guns.
I got to fire those three guns during my enlisted days as an M1 tanker back in the 1990s.
I fired the M16 a lot back in basic training, but I had to keep qualifying on it every year because we kept a rifle in the tank.
More fun to fire, however, is the Beretta 9mm — the standard sidearm of all tankers. I journeyed to the pistol ranges on Fort Hood many a time to shoot with this gem. I remember one time my buddy gave me a couple of extra magazines to shoot the little green, man-shaped, pop-up targets with the red stars on their helmets.
My trigger finger was sore that night.
As a gunner on the tank, I got to fire the M240 quite a bit. Enemy infantry targets dropped like a house of cards in a strong wind when this puppy started to spit rapid fire.
If I remember right, the M1 can hold around 900 rounds of M240 ammunition (7.62 mm) in a single load.
That's a lot of bullets, and deadly accurate using the M1's sophisticated weapons system.
There are two M240s on an M1, by the way; one next to the next main gun, and the other on top of the turret.
Also on top of the turret is the .50-caliber machine gun. It's the tank commander's weapon, but I got to fire it a few times.
The .50 cal can take out trucks and lightly armored vehicles. With a hundred rounds, it can probably ruin a house. And if a .50 cal round hits an infantryman in the arm … the arm is gone.
But the biggest, baddest gun I ever fired in the Army is the M1's big gun: the 120mm main cannon.
I remember during training to be a tanker at Fort Knox, Ky., one of our drill sergeants would tease us about what it feels like to shoot the main gun.
I can't repeat exactly what he said in this column, but he more or less compared it to sex.
He was right.

The heavy scent of red wine filled your nostrils and you could hear a Spanish sob coming from the living room. Your steps became lighter and you sucked in your breath to prevent any source of sound to come from you as you descend down the wooden stairs that seemed to creak especially loud tonight.
You reached the last step and stepped off with high precaution before your head peeked around the corner, [h/c] locks dangling in the air and eyes filled with curiosity. There you saw Antonio, the man of your affection, on the plush sofa, tears rolling down his cheeks and a glass of wine in his hand, the red liquid swishing around as he twirled the glass absentmindedly in his hand.
"A-Antonio...?" Your voice spoke softly in the silence. The sound of your voice made Antonio shoot his head up and squint his eyes to spot you in the darkness; he could see you almost right away however, you were glowing, always.
"[Name], mi amor. What are you doing up?" Antonio asks you as if his tears aren't there and he's fine; which you assume he's not considering the sadness you can see in his emerald pools. His eyes were usually filled with happiness and they seemed to reflect something much brighter then the sun.
"You weren't in bed..." You trailed off, coming around the corner and heading over to Antonio. You came by his side and brought your hands to his face, delicately cupping his cheeks and running your thumb over his smooth skin, removing the glistening tears that lingered on his cheeks, "Why are you crying?"
Antonio bit his lip, unsure of how to respond to your question. Despite the alcohol whizzing through his brain, he knew he couldn't tell you what was on his mind; you, you, you. Depressing thoughts filled his mind, soon finding his vision clouded with unwanted tears. He took a sharp breath in, "I...I'm crying because I miss Lovi." He lied.
He lied to you again. This is why he doesn't deserve you; he can't tell you anything because he doesn't want to hurt you, he doesn't want to be hurt by the truth he fears the most. Why were you even still with him? What did you see in him?
"We can always call him and we can always force him into visiting us or vice versa, like we used to."
"You're right; sorry," he sends you an apologetic look, his face twisting like that of a beat up puppy begging for forgiveness.
"Don't apologize, it's fine. Come on, let's go to bed." Your hand takes the wine glass from his hand and sets it on the table and then recoils back to grab his hand, only to have him grab your wrist instead and pull you into his chest, strong arms wrapping around
you protectively.
"I don't want to go to bed. I've been a bad boy, I should sleep on the couch instead; I don't deserve to sleep with you."
"Antonio what are you talking about? Of course you're allowed to sleep with me-Hmph!" Your sentence is cut short by demanding lips, that forced themselves onto yours. Antonio pressed harder against your lips, wanting to deepen the kiss more but your hands moved on their own and began to push Antonio off of you; this wasn't right.
You're right. It wasn't right. Antonio craves you, he desperately needs you but he doesn't deserve you. He doesn't deserve to touch you like he does, he doesn't deserve your love and most importantly he doesn't deserve to own your heart; the organ that beats only for him, he doesn't deserve that.
Antonio was tangled in a web of lies, the strings suffocating him in his very own lies he himself said to protect his relationship with you. He was a greedy selfish man who wanted nothing more then to devour you whole.

It's fine, don't worry. He's greedy because he wants you all to himself, despite deeming himself not worthy of doing so. He just really, really loves you.

Last year's draft host, the Pittsburgh Penguins, made one of the biggest splashes on draft day by shipping center Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes, a deal that stunned the home crowd.
This year's draft is in New Jersey, but Devils GM Lou Lamoriello didn't sound like a guy who was altering plans just because the draft is in his city.
"Our preparation for the draft is the same thing as if we're going to another city," he said when we chatted last week. "The only thing we do have to worry about is maybe our own scouts coming in and being at home and the distractions of being in our home town."
The Devils own the No. 9 pick in the draft, which opens up a world of options for Lamoriello. There is a pretty clear consensus on the top five players in the draft, but things open up after that. Some scouts believe there are a solid 40 first-round talents in this draft, which gives Lamoriello plenty of flexibility when it comes time to make his pick.
That might be part of the reason he's very open to trading it.
"Any team that [says it] doesn't want to move up or down depending on what's available is kidding you," he said. "If you can get something that's better than where you're at -- we've done everything over the years. We've moved up, we've moved down. We've given our first pick; we haven't signed our first pick. We've done a few things. You just have to do what's best for the team."
Lamoriello is facing another crucial offseason in New Jersey. He has two potential UFAs in David Clarkson and Patrik Elias, who remain unsigned, and said he's doing everything possible to re-sign them. After advancing to the Stanley Cup finals last year, the Devils lost captain Zach Parise in free agency to the Minnesota Wild. They missed the playoffs this year by seven points.
It's no secret that Devils ownership isn't in a good place, which further complicates how Lamoriello can attack this offseason. On the surface, New Jersey doesn't look to have the kind of depth that can withstand losing more high-end talent, but there have been a lot of talented players who have left the Devils and yet the team survived.
Lamoriello said that he's working hard to get his players signed but that he won't look back if it doesn't happen. He remains optimistic that the Devils are still at a point where they can remain contenders.
"If you don't feel optimistic and you don't feel good, you shouldn't be in the game," he said. "Sometimes it's the least expected [player] that makes you better -- different people. I haven't seen one guy go on the ice yet and play against five other guys and have success. That's the thing we have to understand. It's all about what's the best team to put together."

What May HappenThere was a man who was looking for a place to confess all of his feelings without being judged. After many days of searching he found a site, called Experience Project. The site was perfect. After registering to the site he posted a few confessions, most of which were about Love and how he could never find it. Then, one day someone commented on one of his of his confessions, and he thought this person was the absolutely beautiful. They started talking to each through messages, gestures and whiteboard messages, where she showed the first sign of her affection for this man. Well, he could hardly believe it, he'd finally found someone who liked him back, so he showed his sign of affection. Eventually he wrote a confession, confessing his love for her and hoping that she felt the same way. He waited and finally got a reply saying that she did feel the same way. Once again he couldnt believe it. They both confessed their love for each other and over the next few days they were the happiest they could have been. Eventually she asked for the mans number, and he gave it, and she sent him a message, asking him not be angry and and co cessed that she was 14, not 18-21. The man was shocked,surprised and a little confused, a thousand things went flooding through his mind, should he continue talking to this girl, should he be mad, how could he possibly reply to something like that. He eventually sent a message saying "im not mad, just surprised lol" and then "if you're ok with it then so am i", to which she replied "i'm glad". Afterwards the man went to bed, thinking it all over and came to the conclusion that what he was about to get involved in was highly illegal, so the next day he decided to send her a message, confessing that in current times, their kind of relationship would not be accepted by other people. She begged him not to do it, not to leave her, that she needed him, and he also confessed that he needed her and loved her very much but he had to make this decision, however hard it may be. Still she continued to plea with him not to leave and confessed her love for him over and over again.
So the man gave into his heart and said that he would not leave her and that he would continue to love her til the ebd of his days. After a few months webt by the man told her news that he would be coming to see her for a few days, and when he arrived they could not have been happier, however, the authorities were notified that a 21 year old man was seen showing affection to a 14 year old minor, and they eventually caught up to him and arrested for the crimes. He was tried and convicted abd sent to prison for 25 years. After a few years in prison the man was found dead, he had hung himself because he couldnt be with his love and regreted not walking away when he had the chance and saved her from the pain of losing him forever.
This ending is what could happen if the man listens to his heart and not to reason. I hope that when she reads this, she will understand. I regret that it has to be this way but this was the only way that could make her understand. I am sorry
JonnySlackMallon 26-30, M 1 Response 1 Aug 6, 2011
I cannot bare how utterly broken I am. I love you. And I hope you do come see me. I love you Jonny. I always will<3

Sir give me a favour, is "share application pending money" become part of Net worth.??
not a part of net worth for further explaination read following content
The correct accounting treatment in respect of share application money is analysed as below: · Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 provides that the balance sheet of a company shall give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and shall be in the form (either horizontal or vertical) as set out in Part I of Schedule VI. · The broad heads under "Liabilities" therein are (i) Share Capital, (ii) Reserves and Surplus, (iii) Secured Loans, (iv) Unsecured Loans and (v) Current Liabilities and Provisions. The item of 'share application money' does not appear in the subheads under any of these heads. · Any subscriptttion received by a company against issue of share capital can be regarded as "subscribed share capital" only when the share capital is actually subscribed and allotted as well. Until the allotment is made, any subscriptttion cannot be included in the amount of subscribed share capital. [ICAI Compendium of Opinions, Vol. XII, pp. 121 to 123]. Share application money, therefore, cannot be treated as 'Share Capital". · Share application money only in respect of invalid or revoked applications and excess application money received due to over-subscripttttion, however, may be treated as "Current Liabilities". The instant case does not satisfy any of the above, hence cannot be treated as "Current Liabilities" Share application money, therefore, can neither be categorized as "Share Capital' nor "Current Liabilities". · The ICAI Compendium of Opinions, [Vol. XV, (1996 Edn.) pp. 34 to 36], opines that the "share application money pending allotment" should be shown in the balance-sheet under a separate heading between "Share Capital" and "Reserves and Surplus". · Share application money is also not an instrument, much less an Equity linked instrument.
It cannot be taken as net worth as it is not yet part of the shareholders funds! It should be considered as an outside liabiity when we are calculating via assets- outside liabilities method, or when it is share capital + reserves method, the question does not arise at al. I had the same doubt yesterday and got it cleared. :-)

Modern Delver deck
From MTG Wiki
Delver is a blue-based Tempo deck for the Modern format. It is usually combined with other colors for enhanced utility, most commonly Blue-White, or Red-Blue-Green a.k.a. RUG Delver. In 2015, Grixis variants (Blue-Black-Red) became popular, due to the printing of powerful delve creatures and Kolaghan's command.
The deck relies on playing an early threat that is large, evasive or hard to kill such as the titular Delver of Secrets, Tarmogoyf, Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Geist of Saint Traft, then use counterspells and removal to prevent the opponent from answering these early threats. This is helped largely by Snapcaster Mage, which helps the reuse of such utility spells and places an additional threat on the table at the same time.

Hint Files
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Hint Files.
A hint file helps the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) interpret Visual C++ identifiers, such as the names of functions and macros. When you open a Visual C++ project, the IDE's parsing system analyzes the code in each source file in the project and gathers information about every identifier. Then the IDE uses that information to support features such as the Class View browser and the Navigation Bar.
The parsing system, which is introduced in Visual C++ 2010, understands C/C++ syntax but can misinterpret a statement that contains a macro. The statement can be misinterpreted if the macro causes the source code to be syntactically incorrect as written. The statement can become syntactically correct when the source code is compiled and the preprocesser replaces the macro identifier with its definition. The parsing system works without having to build the project because it uses hint files to interpret macros. Therefore, a browsing feature such as Class View is immediately available.
A hint file contains user-customizable hints, which have the same syntax as C/C++ macro definitions. Visual C++ includes a built-in hint file that is sufficient for most projects, but you can create your own hint files to improve the way Visual Studio handles identifiers.
If you modify or add a hint file, you must delete the .sdf file and/or VC.db file in the solution in order for the changes to take effect.
Assume that the following code is in a source file that you examine with the Class View browser. The
STDMETHOD macro declares a method named
myMethod that takes one parameter and returns a pointer to an HRESULT.
// Source code file. STDMETHOD(myMethod)(int parameter1);
The following macro definitions are in a separate header file.
// Header file. #define STDMETHOD(method) HRESULT (STDMETHODCALLTYPE * method) #define STDMETHODCALLTYPE __stdcall #define HRESULT void*
The parsing system cannot interpret the source code because a function named STDMETHOD appears to be declared, and that declaration is syntactically incorrect because it has two parameter lists. The parsing system does not open the header file to discover the definitions for the
STDMETHODCALLTYPE, and
HRESULT macros. Because the parsing system cannot interpret the
STDMETHOD macro, it ignores the whole statement and then continues parsing.
The parsing system does not use header files because your project might depend on one or more important header files. If any header file changes, the parsing system might have to reexamine all of the header files in your project, which slows down the performance of the IDE. Instead, the parsing system uses hints that specify how to handle the
STDMETHODCALLTYPE, and
HRESULT macros.
How do you know that you need a hint? And if you need a hint, what kind should you create? One sign that a hint is needed is if the view of an identifier in Class View is inconsistent with the view in the Editor. For example, Class View might not display a class member that you know exists, or the name of the member is incorrect. For more information about the types of hints that solve common problems, see the What Macros Require A Hint? section later in this topic.
Hint files pertain to physical directories, not the logical directories depicted in Solution Explorer. You do not have to add a hint file to your project for the hint file to have an effect. The parsing system uses hint files only when it parses source files.
Every hint file is named cpp.hint. Therefore, many directories can contain a hint file but only one hint file can occur in a particular directory.
Your project can be affected by zero or more hint files. If there are no hint files, the parsing system uses error recovery techniques to ignore indecipherable source code. Otherwise, the parsing system uses the following strategy to find and gather hints.
Search Order
The parsing system searches directories for hint files in the following order.
The directory that contains the installation package for Visual C++ (vcpackages). This directory contains a built-in hint file that describes symbols in frequently used system files, such as windows.h. Consequently, your project automatically inherits most of the hints that it needs.
The path from the root directory of a source file to the directory that contains the source file itself. In a typical Visual C++ project, the root directory contains the solution or project file.
The exception to this rule is if a stop file is in the path to the source file. A stop file provides additional control over the search order and is any file that is named cpp.stop. Instead of starting from the root directory, the parsing system searches from the directory that contains the stop file to the directory that contains the source file. In a typical project, you do not need a stop file.
Hint Gathering
A hint file contains zero or more hints. A hint is defined or deleted just like a C/C++ macro. That is, the
#define preprocessor directive creates or redefines a hint, and the
#undef directive deletes a hint.
The parsing system opens each hint file in the search order described earlier, accumulates each file's hints into a set of effective hints, and then uses the effective hints to interpret the identifiers in your code.
The parsing system uses the following rules to accumulate hints.
If the new hint specifies a name that is not already defined, the new hint adds the name to the effective hints.
If the new hint specifies a name that is already defined, the new hint redefines the existing hint.
If the new hint is an
#undefdirective that specifies an existing effective hint, the new hint deletes the existing hint.
The first rule means that effective hints are inherited from previously opened hint files. The last two rules mean that hints that occur later in the search order can override hints that occurred earlier. For example, you can override any previous hints if you create a hint file in the directory that contains a source file.
For a depiction of how hints are gathered, see the
Example section later in this topic.
Hints are created and deleted with the same syntax as the preprocessor directives that create and delete macros. In fact, the parsing system uses the C/C++ preprocessor to evaluate the hints. For more information about the preprocessor directives, see #define Directive (C/C++) and #undef Directive (C/C++).
The only unusual syntax elements are the
@=, and
@> replacement strings. These are hint-file specific replacement strings that are used with only map macros. A map is a set of macros that relate data, functions, or events to other data, functions, or event handlers. For example,
MFC uses maps to create message maps, and
ATL uses maps to create object maps. The hint-file specific replacement strings indicate the starting, intermediate, and ending elements of a map. Only the name of a map macro is significant. Therefore, each replacement string intentionally hides the implementation of the macro.
Hints use the following syntax.
#define hint-name replacement-string
#define hint-name
( parameter, ...
|A preprocesser directive that defines a new hint or redefines an existing hint. After the directive, the preprocessor replaces each occurrence of hint-name in source code with replacement-string.
The second syntax form defines a function-like hint. If a function-like hint occurs in source code, the preprocessor first replaces each occurrence of parameter in replacement-string with the corresponding argument in source code, and then replaces hint-name with replacement-string.
|A hint-file specific replacement-string that indicates the start of a set of map elements.
|A hint-file specific replacement-string that indicates an intermediate map element. A map can have multiple map elements.
|A hint-file specific replacement-string that indicates the end of a set of map elements.
#undef hint-name
|The preprocessor directive that deletes an existing hint. The name of the hint is provided by the hint-name identifier.
// comment
|A single line comment.
/* comment
|A multiline comment.
Certain types of macros can interfere with the parsing system. This section describes the types of macros that can cause a problem, and the type of hint you can create to solve that problem.
Disruptive Macros
Some macros cause the parsing system to misinterpret source code, but can be ignored without impairing your browsing experience. For example, the Source Code Annotation Language (SAL) macros resolve to C++ attributes that help you find programming bugs. If you want to ignore SAL annotations as you browse code, you might want to create a hint file that hides the annotation.
In the following source code, the parameter type for the
FormatWindowClassName() function is
PXSTR, and the parameter name is
szBuffer. However, the parsing system mistakes the
_Pre_notnull_ and
_Post_z_ SAL annotations for either the parameter type or the parameter name.
Source Code:
static void FormatWindowClassName(_Pre_notnull__Post_z_ PXSTR szBuffer)
Strategy: Null definition
The strategy in this situation is to treat the SAL annotations as if they did not exist. To do this, specify a hint whose replacement string is null. Consequently, the parsing system ignores the annotations, and the Class View browser does not display them. (Visual C++ includes a built-in hint file that hides SAL annotation.)
Hint file:
#define _Pre_notnull_
Concealed C/C++ Language Elements
A typical reason that the parsing system misinterprets source code is if a macro hides a C/C++ punctuator or keyword token. That is, a macro might contain half of a pair of punctuators, such as
{}, and
In the following source code, the
START_NAMESPACE macro hides an unpaired left brace (
Source Code:
Strategy: Direct copy
If the semantics of a macro are critical to the browsing experience, create a hint that is identical to the macro. The parsing system resolves the macro to the definition in the hint file.
Note that if the macro in the source file contains other macros, those macros are interpreted only if they are already in the set of effective hints.
Hint File:
A map consists of macros that designate a starting element, ending element, and zero or more intermediate elements. The parsing system misinterprets maps because each map macro hides C/C++ language elements, and the syntax of a complete C/C++ statement is distributed across many separate macros.
The following source code defines the
IMPLEMENTED_CATEGORY, and
END_CATEGORY_MAP macros.
Source Code:
#define BEGIN_CATEGORY_MAP(x)\ static const struct ATL::_ATL_CATMAP_ENTRY* GetCategoryMap() throw() {\ static const struct ATL::_ATL_CATMAP_ENTRY pMap[] = { #define IMPLEMENTED_CATEGORY( catid ) { _ATL_CATMAP_ENTRY_IMPLEMENTED, &catid }, #define END_CATEGORY_MAP()\ { _ATL_CATMAP_ENTRY_END, NULL } };\ return( pMap ); }
Strategy: Identify map elements
Specify hints for the start, middle (if any), and end elements of a map. Use the special map replacement strings,
@=, and
@>. For more information, see the
Syntax section in this topic.
Hint File:
// Start of the map. #define BEGIN_CATEGORY_MAP(x) @< // Intermediate map element. #define IMPLEMENTED_CATEGORY( catid ) @= // Intermediate map element. #define REQUIRED_CATEGORY( catid ) @= // End of the map. #define END_CATEGORY_MAP() @>
Composite Macros
Composite macros contain one or more of the types of macro that confuse the parsing system.
The following source code contains the
START_NAMESPACE macro, which specifies the start of a namespace scope, and the
BEGIN_CATEGORY_MAP macro, which specifies the start of a map.
Source Code:
Strategy: Direct copy
Create hints for the
START_NAMESPACE and
BEGIN_CATEGORY_MAP macros, and then create a hint for the
NSandMAP macro that is the same as shown earlier for the source code. Alternatively, if a composite macro consists of only disruptive macros and white space, you can define a hint whose replacement string is a null definition.
In this example, assume
START_NAMESPACE already has a hint as described in this topic in the
Concealed C/C++ Language Elements subheading. And assume
BEGIN_CATEGORY_MAP has a hint as described earlier in
Hint File:
Inconvenient Macros
Some macros can be interpreted by the parsing system, but the source code is difficult to read because the macro is long or complex. For the sake of readability, you can provide a hint that simplifies the display of the macro.
Source Code:
#define STDMETHOD(methodName) HRESULT (STDMETHODCALLTYPE * methodName)
Strategy: Simplification
Create a hint that displays a simpler macro definition.
Hint File:
#define STDMETHOD(methodName) void* methodName
The following example illustrates how hints are accumulated from hint files. Stop files are not used in this example.
The following illustration depicts some of the physical directories in a Visual C++ project. Hint files are in the
A1, and
A2 directories.
Hint File Directories
Directories and Hint File Contents
The following list shows the directories in this project that contain hint files, and the contents of those hint files. Only some of the many hints in the
vcpackages directory hint file are listed.
// vcpackages (partial list) #define _In_ #define _In_opt_ #define _In_z_ #define _In_opt_z_ #define _In_count_(size)
// Debug #undef _In_ #define OBRACE { #define CBRACE } #define RAISE_EXCEPTION(x) throw (x) #define START_NAMESPACE namespace MyProject { #define END_NAMESPACE }
// A1 #define START_NAMESPACE namespace A1Namespace {
// A2 #undef OBRACE #undef CBRACE
Effective Hints
The following table lists the effective hints for the source files in this project.
Source File: A1_A2_B.cpp
Effective hints:
// vcpackages (partial list) #define _In_opt_ #define _In_z_ #define _In_opt_z_ #define _In_count_(size) // Debug... #define RAISE_EXCEPTION(x) throw (x) // A1 #define START_NAMESPACE namespace A1Namespace { // ...Debug #define END_NAMESPACE }
The following notes apply to the preceding list.
The effective hints are from the
A1, and
The #undef directive in the
Debughint file removed the
#define _In_hint in the
vcpackagesdirectory hint file.
The hint file in the
A1directory redefines
#undefhint in the
A2directory removed the hints for
CBRACEin the
Debugdirectory hint file.

The apartment management can tell you for certain. In Ohio, the law simply states two heartbeats per bedroom. (they don't care about gender or ages). If it is legal, you may have to get creative. We (my DH and I) are currently in a two bedroom apartment and my daughter is 12 and my son 16. So we have one bedroom, my son has the other and we sectioned off the dining room from the living room with tall bookcases, for my daughter. We are thinking about getting a sleeper sofa and switching so my daughter has our room and we'll have the living room. Either way, its not ideal, but its just temporary. I know of two other families in our complex that do the same or have similar arrangements, both are single moms. One shares a room with her daughter (bunkbeds) and the other sleeps in the living room.

Metro to test real-time software for crash-avoidance system
Friday, October 23, 2009
Metro has developed software that it hopes can be a backup for the system that is supposed to prevent train crashes, officials said Thursday.
The agency and the contractor that helped create the software plan to test it next week, officials said. After a fatal Red Line crash in June, federal investigators said Metro's crash-avoidance system was inadequate and called for the agency to implement a real-time backup.
"We're at a point now where we want to test this to see if it will give us information in real time about any anomalies that may be out there on the track circuit," said Gerald Francis, Metro's deputy general manager.
With the software, a malfunction will trigger a visual and audio alarm on controllers' screens at Metro's operations center; controllers will be required to acknowledge the alarms.
Francis said that engineers plan to test the software during Monday's morning rush hour. It had not been decided whether the test will cover the entire Metrorail system or a portion. He said it was too soon to know when a fully operable backup would be in place.
Since the accident June 22, which killed nine people and injured 80, Metro has been working with Annapolis-based ARINC, a transportation communications and engineering systems company, to develop a backup for the train protection, or track circuit, system.
That system, which is supposed to be fail-safe, relies on audio frequencies transmitted between the train, the steel rails and other electronic equipment to maintain a safe distance between trains.
Although investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board have not pinpointed the exact cause of the accident, a track circuit failure is at the center of the investigation, in which one train rammed into another between the Takoma and Fort Totten stations.
The safety board said that equipment in a train control room near the crash site emitted errant signals, sending a false signal to the circuit and erroneously telling it that the track was clear when it was occupied by an idling train. As a result, the system did not send signals to slow or stop the approaching train.
Metro uses a software program to check for circuit malfunctions. Since the Red Line crash, those software checks have been run twice a day to look for anomalies. If problems are found, crews are sent to inspect the circuit; if necessary, adjustments are made on the spot. Circuits might be disabled if fixes can't be made immediately.
But the software check occurs after rush hour; the new program would run in real time. Officials said they plan to run both systems next week to see whether they pick up the same malfunctions.
A spokeswoman for ARINC contacted Thursday was not able to provide additional information.
ARINC has a $15 million contract with Metro to provide electronics for the agency's backup operations control center in suburban Maryland and upgrade equipment at the main control center in downtown Washington. Metro officials have repeatedly declined to say how much the company is charging the transit agency for the additional work on track circuits.
In a separate development, Metro officials told a board committee Thursday that the agency is ready to move forward by Jan. 1 to offer riders Google Transit, an online mapping tool, if key issues can be resolved. Among them: persuading Google to agree to exempt Metro from liability for downloading corrupt data and Google's request that data be provided in a format that would require more work from Metro employees.

Smarter Health: How to Eat Healthy on The Road
Part of our travels this holiday season will involve a 10-hour road trip. Yes, feeling my pain, eh? Whenever I hear "road trip," I think about all of the activities we will have to pack to keep us busy...and fed. But those snacks only go so far. Inevitably, we will stop to go potty (yeah, I say that still....I really need to switch to "go to the bathroom") and grab a bite to eat. As we all know, fast food is an easy choice, but one that is just sooooooooooo bad for us.
Sure, packing snacks and a cooler in the car is a-number-one way to try to eat better and "normal" when on the road, but here are some other ideas to be a little healthier as you travel.
-- Drink water. This may seem counterproductive to driving as you will have to make a ton of stops, but being dehydrated is one of the big reasons we overeat or feel hungry when we aren't. Be sure to have bottles or thermoses of water for the whole family to avoid oversnacking and overeating. (This is a good thing to remember when flying too.)
-- When you can, try to stop at a regular restaurant, like a Denny's or Cracker Barrel. You can sit down with a larger menu that offers more variety of healthier options (and their restrooms are usually a little cleaner).
-- If you have to do choose a fast food place, opt for a Subway where you can make your own sandwich and avoid fried items. If that isn't possible, refrain from supersizing and select a grilled option if possible.
How do you eat on the road? What do you find yourself and your family eating? Do you try to keep it healthy?
©iStockphoto.com/ Marek Uliasz
Yes, I try to eat healthy but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I am also trying to do better now. Especially when we eat out.
I do all of the above. I always have water with me and a small bag of almonds for every day running around. For days when I'm going to be away from the house for several hours, I pack plenty of water and other healthier snacks, and always make the best choices from whatever place we are stopping at. Even if it ends up being mcDonalds, I get the grilled chicken wraps and limit the fries (cuz I just gotta have SOME, even if its only a little bit!)
First day I make deviled eggs and also have cheese and crackers.
I try to always have water, crackers, cut fruit in baggies, granola bars and peanut butter sandwiches.
pack own healthy foods in a cooler or try to eat healthiest options out there!

From the death of their coach, Apache Paschall, to the news that their school would be closing in June, it's been an emotionally draining month for the Nazareth girls basketball team.
The basketball court, though, has served as their solace.
"The court is our sanctuary," Naz co-coach Lauren Best said. "We always feel at home on the court. From the beginning, we taught them to go out and fight their hardest. These girls are survivors."
On Sunday at Gaucho Gym in The Bronx, Nazareth took to its sanctuary to face New Jersey powerhouse Manasquan (NJ) in a meeting of two of the top three teams in the Tri-State by MSG Varsity.
Nazareth, as has been the case off the court, prevailed, beating the Warriors, 83-73, in the main event of the Mecca Challenge.
"We were playing a really good team," Sadie Edwards said. "This win means a lot to us. I tried to play more aggressively and it worked. We played well overall."
The junior guard scored a team-high 26 points and super sophomore Bianca Cuevas added 16 points for Nazareth (13-1), ranked No. 2 in the Tri-State by MSG Varsity. The Lady Kingsmen raced out to a 7-0 lead and had a 40-39 advantage at halftime.
Led by Katelynn Flaherty, who had a game-high 32 points and buried five 3-pointers, and Michaela Mabrey, who had 24, No. 3 Manasquan took a 54-52 lead into the fourth quarter. But Naz survived for one of its biggest wins of the year.
Christ the King 66, Cicero-North Syracuse 60: Sierra Calhoun had 20 points, Rayne Connell had 16 points and Amanni Fernandez added 12 for Christ the King (11-10), which upset the No. 5 ranked team in the country at the Mecca Challenge.

Man Gets to Talk to His Younger Self
Ever wonder what your younger self would have to say to your current self? Maybe your younger self would like to know how you'd turn out. One man, was lucky enough to have had the foresight to tape a one-sided conversation of himself at twelve years old. Twenty years later, he responds to his younger self's questions. The result is heart warming and hilarious.

The desert air in the morning is cool and clean. Birds are everywhere. Occasionally the coyotes sing, and they can be very close to us without being visible. It is early in the year, but some snakes are out, we are told, so to be careful.
We went to the Musical Instrument Museum late last week, just on a whim. A friend of a friend suggested it. What a delight! I thought of Ed Kemmick, who is a musician in addition to his other life's pursuits. We spent over five hours there, and even as museums for me are automatic sensory overload, I could not get enough. They have managed to provide a small venue for every political boundary on every continent on the second floor. We were equipped with a hands-free headset, and just walking near an exhibit triggered its music as it was shown on a video. They have on hand over 10,000 musical instruments, and just the guitar exhibit on the main floor is enough to keep one occupied for an hour.
Because we did not know what lay in store, we did not spend enough time in the North American and European rooms upstairs, but I love drums and spent a few minutes with Keith Moon and Buddy Rich and a couple of others. Man what a rush!
On the main floor are various tributes. Currently on display is Taylor Swift, not my flavor. But there are dozens of others – famous jazz men and singers, a corner for Leonard Bernstein, Duane Eddy, and one for the Ventures. My musical tastes are pedestrian*, as I just have not traveled and lived enough, so I nearly cried standing next to the John Lennon Steinway (encased in plexiglass) on which Imagine was recorded and listening to an international musical montage performing it.
This was an unexpected day, an unexpected pleasure. We originally came here on a brief trip to take in spring baseball several years ago. Shortly thereafter two sets of friends from Bozeman purchased homes down here, and another couple comes here to stay with us in our rental. Each year now is more adventure, less baseball, more desert, from Sedona to Nogales. It's a big beautiful state that happens to host Spring Training.
The view from the back patio is shown here. On seeing it our son-in-law (Portlandia) asked why we vacationed in Afghanistan. But the desert holds many charms, and in March is a delightful respite from the recent two feet of new snow in our driveway in Colorado.
*I just learned that my ring tone is a piano introduction to George Thorogood and the Destroyers' Bad to the Bone. Who knew?

text: "However, 46% of women who get abortions weren't using a contraceptive method the month they got pregnant, indicating that conservative policies that discourage regular contraception use -- everything from abstinence-only education to objecting to any measures that make contraception cheaper and easier to obtain -- have been effective in keeping women from using contraception as regularly as they should. In addition, abortion rates are much higher for women living in poverty, and three quarters of women getting abortions say they can't afford a child. If anti-choicers start moaning about the high rate of abortions, ask them what they intend to do about it. Do they want to make birth control free for all women? What about expansive social welfare that makes it easier for pregnant women living in poverty to say yes to having this baby? Most anti-choicers are generally conservative, and most will get really angry really quick if you start to mention concrete solutions to lower the abortion rate." -- Amanda Marcotte, "10 Things I'd Say to the Anti-Choice Fanatics Trying to End Access to Abortion", 2011-07-27

Technical Abstract: Feces on animal carcasses are an important source of foodborne pathogens. Imaging devices that could assess the general level of carcass contamination would help to provide high quality meat products to consumers. Inspection procedures have relied upon unaided visual examination of carcasses but it is difficult to thoroughly inspect all carcasses in high speed processing plants using visual means. Imaging technology with real-time capabilities and automated inspection would improve current procedures. In our research we have examined several fluorescent markers that could be used to optically detect fecal material. Excitation and emission spectra and fluorescent lifetime measurements were obtained for a variety of ingesta and fecal samples from cattle and other livestock species. Our analysis found that the most useful markers for fecal detection were the highly fluorescent metabolites of chlorophyll (pheophorbide and pyropheophorbide). These metabolites have peak excitation and emission wavelengths near 420 nm and 675 nm, respectively. These metabolites are normally present in the G.I. tract of herbivorous animals consuming green plant material. These markers are particularly useful because the background fluorescence of meat is low in the far-red region of the visible spectra. We have exploited the fluorescent properties of these chemical markers in the development of instruments, which can detect fecal contamination on meat animal carcasses. Although diet can influence the fluorescent signal obtained, instruments have been designed with adequate sensitivity for the detection of feces from animals consuming a variety of commercial feedlot rations. This imaging technology has been developed through intellectual property protection and technology transfer into commercially produced instruments, which are currently being manufactured and used by the meat-processing industry. These instruments augment more time-consuming microbiological testing methods and can assist slaughter plant operators and meat inspectors in their efforts to minimize contamination on meat.

Om Puri was drawn to Maoist leader's life
Filmmaker Prakash Jha's new movie Chakravyuh, which explores the Maoist insurgency, will see Om Puri playing a character similar to Maoist leader Kobad Ghandy. The veteran actor has read a lot on Ghandy's life to relate to his role in a better way.
"Prakash Jha's original plan was to take elements from Kobad Ghandy's life and incorporate it into Om Puri's character. But Om got progressively drawn into Kobad Ghandy's life and teachings and urged Prakash to make his character as close to Kobad as possible," said a source close to the project.
Ghandy's fascinating journey from Mumbai to the Naxalite jungles of Karnataka has flummoxed and fascinated social scientists. At 63, Ghandy's saga continues to be an enigma of social protest and insurgency.
Puri, who's currently in Canada, is silent about the character, but he doesn't deny the parallels.
"I can't deny that my character is akin to Kobad Ghandy. I play a professor and an educationist who gives up a cushy life to become a Maoist," he said.
Though Puri admits he is impressed by Ghandy's teachings, the actor clarifies he doesn't believe in Maoists' way of bringing social change.
"I truly believe in what Kobad said about the poor. He said, 'I don't believe in a democracy that doesn't respect the poor.' I believe that," he said.
"However, I don't subscribe to the Maoists' means of bringing social change. I don't think blowing up railway tracks and damaging public property is the solution. Surely, there has to be a less violent means to bring about social change," he added.
Puri doesn't fear any backlash for playing such a controversial character.
"I truly believe Maoists are not terrorists, but rebels. Having said that I play a character in the film, my own beliefs are separate. But if people see my voice speaking in unison with Kobad Ghandy about social equality, then I don't mind his ideology being attributed to me," he said.
Jha is also guarded in comparing Om Puri with Kobad Ghandy. He said: "It's too risky to compare characters in our films to real-life people. Someone, somewhere is bound to get angry. So let's just say people are free to read similarities between Om's character and the gentleman you've mentioned."
Apart from Puri, the film also features Arjun Rampal, Abhay Deol, Manoj Bajpayee and Kabir Bedi. Chakravyuh is slated for release in October.

D.C. to appeal judge's decision in Ivy City case
Andria Awanson is a third generation Ivy City resident now raising a fourth generation - a 2-year-old and a baby on the way.
"We do have a history of asthma in our family, in our home," she says. "My little brothers as well in the home has an asthma machine."
The organization "Empower D.C." says 160 residents here have respiratory problems because of this nearby DCPS bus lot.
And they oppose the d-c government's plan to add charter buses on the property of the Old Crummell school.
"We're paying attention and we'll use organizing and lawsuits as necessary to hold them accountable," says Parisa Norouzi, Empower D.C. executive director.
They're now lobbying D.C. councilmembers.
And in a letter to the mayor, Ward 5's Kenyan McDuffie wrote. "The Crummell School is an inappropriate location for a charter bus lot, and I stand with the community in urging you to select an alternative location."
Because of a court injunction this week, the D.C. government must temporarily halt the plan.
The judge wants more city outreach to the local ANC and an environmental review.
"I've not thoroughly reviewed it but I think there were some procedural issues that were cited," says D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray.
A spokesperson for the D.C. office of the attorney general says the District is planning to appeal a judge's decision.
And at his weekly press conference, the mayor said the attorney general is reviewing the case.
Afterward, he was confronted about it.
Residents claim they were promised a "reimagined Crummell" school.
"I haven't had that discussion with anybody," Gray says. "And that school has been used as a homeless shelter, it's been vacant. I don't, I have been a part of no discussions about that."

Conservatives Rally Against Bush Aide-Turned-Critic
Saturday, October 14, 2006
Conservative religious leaders described themselves as shocked yesterday by a new book's charge that Bush administration staffers privately dismissed evangelical Christian political activists as "nuts" and "goofy."
But their dismay was aimed at the book's author, former White House official David Kuo, rather than at President Bush or his senior advisers.
James Dobson, Charles W. Colson and other stalwarts of the conservative Christian movement defended the Bush administration and questioned the timing of the book's publication, a month before the midterm elections. Some suggested that Kuo had betrayed the White House.
"I feel sorry for him, because once you do something like this, you get your 15 minutes in the spotlight, but then after that nobody will touch you," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian advocacy group in Washington. "These kiss-and-tell books do more damage to the author than to the people they attack."
Kuo, who was deputy director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in Bush's first term, alleges in the book, "Tempting Faith," that the Bush administration used its funding of religious charities to court evangelical voters in Machiavellian fashion.
The book is being published at a pivotal moment not just for Republicans who are battling to maintain control of the House and Senate but also for conservative Christian voters, whose support for the GOP has dipped in recent polls.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, evangelical leaders including Perkins and Dobson plan to broadcast a 90-minute television special from a Boston church to hundreds of other churches across the country in an attempt to keep religious conservatives from sitting out the election.
Called "Liberty Sunday," it will "highlight specific cases and stories where people's religious liberties have been threatened because of homosexual activism and gay marriage in Massachusetts," said Family Research Council spokeswoman Bethanie Swendsen.
At the same hour, CBS's "60 Minutes" will broadcast the first interview with Kuo about his book, which is scheduled to go on sale Monday. CBS and the book's publisher, Simon & Schuster, tried to keep a lid on the book's contents until the "60 Minutes" exclusive. But MSNBC host Keith Olbermann obtained a copy and began broadcasting excerpts Wednesday.
Conservative Christian leaders as well as present and former White House officials responded yesterday to the MSNBC report, noting that they had not yet seen the book itself.
White House press secretary Tony Snow told reporters that the book's "assumption or insinuation seems to be that the administration takes lightly faith-based groups." That is "false," he said.
Asked whether the president's "faith-based initiative" was used for political purposes, Snow said flatly: "No." Snow also read from a letter Kuo wrote to Bush when he left the administration in December 2003, saying he was "proud of all the initiative has accomplished."

Free agency could be very costly to the New York Jets.
When the NFL reopens for business, no team will have more big-name free agents. After reaching the AFC championship game the past two seasons, the Jets could take a major hit, particularly at wide receiver. Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Brad Smith are all set to hit the market, along with talented cornerback Antonio Cromartie, defensive end Shaun Ellis and safety Brodney Pool.
General manager Mike Tannenbaum is an aggressive and adept dealmaker, and the Jets have had months to prepare for multiple scenarios. However, game plans in free agency can fall apart, just like game plans on Sunday. Quarterback Mark Sanchez admits to being worried about how many receivers he might lose.
"I'm curious just like everyone else," Sanchez said last week on NFL Network. "That's the most difficult thing and frustrating thing as a quarterback. We have a great running game. We have the offensive line in place. I'm going into my third year. We have one of the best defenses for the last two years, and a lot of guys are returning.
"I don't know who I'm throwing to. I know I've got Jerricho (Cotchery), I know I've got (tight end) Dustin Keller, L.T. (LaDainian Tomlinson) and Shonn Greene out of the backfield. But there's some major holes to be filled at wide receiver, so hopefully we can figure that out.''
Here's a look at three contenders facing crucial free agent decisions:
New York Jets
Likely game plan: They'll do everything possible to re-sign Cromartie and Holmes. They'll live with losing anyone else, including Edwards.
Let's start with Cromartie. Rex Ryan is a defensive-minded coach that loves to blitz. Cromartie is a versatile cover corner, which makes him crucial to Ryan's scheme, particularly when paired with star corner Darrelle Revis. Nobody makes a living throwing at Revis, which puts extra pressure on the Jets' other corners. Cromartie proved he could handle that role last season. Rookie Kyle Wilson could not.
Holmes is their best receiver and in his prime at age 27. It makes no sense for the Jets to let him walk. He's had some off-field issues in the past, but he fit well in their locker room last season. He and Sanchez are young enough to put together some nice seasons if they remain together.
Edwards has talent and size, but he has not been consistent. And if the Jets lose Edwards, they may be able to replace him in free agency by signing Randy Moss or Plaxico Burress.
What could go wrong: Both Holmes and Cromartie will be coveted, and suitors will move fast during the frenzied pace of this year's unique free agency period. It's not hard to imagine the Redskins offering Holmes a huge deal. And Cromartie could be Plan B for the corner-needy Texans if they can't land Nnamdi Asomugha. Losing both Holmes and Cromartie would not be a good look for the Jets.
San Diego Chargers
Most prominent free agents: Eric Weddle, S; Malcom Floyd, WR; Darren Sproles, RB; Kevin Burnett, LB; and Stephen Cooper, LB. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson could also join this list, depending upon terms of a new collective bargaining agreement.
Likely game plan: They will hope Jackson is not declared a free agent and make re-signing Weddle a top priority. The Chargers could also be planning to trade for wide receiver Steve Smith of the Panthers.
What could go wrong: Weddle is just 26 years old, and if he'll have plenty of offers to chose from. Sproles would also fit nicely into many offenses as a chance-of-pace, pass-catching back. Floyd is a receiver that seems to be coming into his own. Losing Floyd, Sproles, Jackson and free agent wide receiver Legedu Naanee would be concerning, but the likelihood remains that Jackson will remain with the Chargers for at least one more season.
Atlanta Falcons
Most prominent free agents: Harvey Diehl, G; Tyson Clabo, RT; Stephen Nicholas, LB; Mike Peterson, LB; Justin Blalock, G; Jason Snelling, RB.
Likely game plan: With three free agents on the offensive line, that unit is the top offseason concern. Expect the Falcons to go shopping in free agency for offensive linemen, in case two or three of their own linemen depart. Quarterback Matt Ryan must be protected, and holes must be opened for running back Michael Turner.
What could go wrong: The Falcons' line could falter if Diehl, Clabo and Blalock all leave, or perhaps even just two of the three. After their controversial draft-day deal to get wide receiver Julio Jones, the Falcons have high expectations for their offense. But their offensive line cannot be a liability if the Falcons are going to contend.

More and more consumer electronics products are being demonstrated with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certification at the IFA electronics show. New TV's, home theatre systems, and computers all come with the DLNA stamp.
The promise of DLNA is to let users view and listen to content (including music, photos and movies) stored on any certified device on any certified product. If you have a Blu-ray player in the living room, you will be able to watch a movie in the bedroom and so on, and do it without having to deal with the hassle of configuring it all. But we aren't there yet.
Sony's upcoming TV lineup includes models that have been DLNA certified, for example the W4500, letting users view JPEG photos and listen to MP3 music stored on, for example, a Vaio laptop. Sony demonstrated that set up at IFA.
"Still it's kind of a primitive version of DLNA," said Hiroshi Sakamoto, vice president of TV marketing at Sony Europe.
Sony doesn't have support for video streaming, which will come in 2009, according to Sakamoto. Another missing piece of the puzzle is built-in support for wireless networking in TVs. Today, wired Ethernet is the name of the game. Users can add an adapter to get wireless access, but it's only a question of time before Wi-Fi shows up in TV's.
"We are discussing that, I can't make a clear comment," said Sakamoto. Why it hasn't happened yet comes down to both cost and quality, according to Sakamoto.
Getting all of the pieces together doesn't guarantee that anyone will use DLNA systems. Few consumers know what DLNA is and what it can and can't do, and the industry still has a lot of work to do when it comes to convincing users of the benefits. When Sony's DLNA TVs show up in shops the company will also add promotional material on its Web page, which at this stage is a better advertising method than, for example, large campaigns, according to Sakamoto.
DLNA won't connect the mass market anytime soon, Christmas 2009 at the earliest, according to Sakamoto.

Multitasking Move: Balancing Row
Here's a variation to the Tipping Row, which strengthens the backs of your arms and your upper back. Since you're balancing on one leg and extending the other, you'll also tone your quads, booty, and back.
Grab a pair of dumbbells and learn how to do this exercise..
- Stand with your feet together and a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your right leg out behind you and your torso tips forward, so your leg and body are parallel with the ground. Engage your abs to protect your lower back. Hold the weights below your shoulders with your arms extended. Your left knee should be slightly bent. Inhale to prepare.
- As you exhale, bend your elbows up above your back, bringing the weights to your chest, just like the bent-over row.
- Inhale and return your arms to starting position, staying balanced on your left leg, with your right leg extended.
- Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps on each side.

Our guest blogger today is local tattoo artist Dave Sloan, who will be interviewing Lyle Tuttle at this week's event in the Toby.
Lyle Tuttle didn't know in 1945, when he was 14 years old and running away from his hometown of Ukiah, California to go see the circus in San Francisco, that years later he would be seen as the Father of Modern Tattooing. He didn't know the heart with "mom" tattooed in a banner that he got at that circus would spark a lifelong interest in the history of tattooing, or that he would participate in bringing major changes to the industry. In fact, if you ask Lyle, he'll tell you that he didn't know a hell of a lot back then, while he laughs at himself as a dumb, young kid.
Whatever Lyle didn't know, however, he did find a way to start his career in tattooing and by 1949 he was tattooing professionally after working under Bert Grimm. His first solo shop opened in 1954 and was located in a building next to the bus terminal in San Francisco. Lyle didn't feel comfortable in the area and wanted a quick out in case he needed it. Being beside the terminal also brought him a lot of clientele. But what really changed the kind of clientele that walked into Lyle's shop during the 1960s was the advent of women's liberation. With women getting a new found freedom they could get tattooed, if they so desired. It greatly expanded the market, and according to Lyle, he tattooed nothing but women for three years.
Lyle tattooed Cher and Janis Joplin, as well as Peter Fonda and The Allman Brothers, just to name a few of the stars that helped bring about Lyle's appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone in October of 1970, a first in major media coverage for any tattoo artist. This was followed by a front page article in the Wall Street Journal in 1971. This publicity was not only good for Lyle's career, but for the entire industry as well, bringing information about tattooing to a significantly larger audience that until then had only the knowledge of old stereotypes that had been passed down over the years.
Then Lyle began traveling the world. During this time he tattooed on six of the seven continents, learning from those around him and sharing his knowledge and experiences. He brought these experiences back to the United States and began sharing them with other tattoo artists, participating in the first tattoo convention in the country.
Eventually Lyle started collecting tattoo memorabilia and currently has the largest collection in the world. Some day this will be showcased once more, as it was in the 1970s when the upper floor of his building next to the bus terminal served as a museum. His collection of memorabilia and equipment is an important part of preserving tattoo history so that those who come after us, artist and enthusiast, can see how tattooing has grown from humble beginnings in back street shops frequented by sailors and criminals to a respectful art form enjoyed by all walks of life.
Over the years, Lyle has become a legend and a teacher for the tattoo industry, in which he participated as an artist until his retirement in 1990. To this day, he is still an active and important figure in the industry, as he still travels worldwide to speak on subjects from tattoo machine maintenance and building, to listening and talking to the younger generations about the art form. Celebrating his 80th birthday this past October, Lyle is still going strong and looking forward to coming to the IMA for "Deep Ink" with Chief White Wolf James of the Eiteljorg Museum; Junii Shimada, a female tattoo artist from Japan now working in San Francisco; and myself on November 5th, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the Toby.

Well, somebody should. Dallas News columnist Chuck Bloom steps into the branding breach left open by FoMoCo's inability to define itself in the marketplace. In fact, Bloom doesn't just know what a Ford is, he's it: a Fat Old Rumpled Democrat. I know: nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. While Bloom's Op Ed raises the now-familiar Chevy Silverado-friendly America-first, look what they done to my factory jobs Ma socio-economic mindset, he distills the argument down to something altogether more interesting. "I have always believed that no man needs to own a Rolex or any other expensive watch in order to tell time. A Bulova or Timex does the same thing at a fraction of the cost. After all, isn't that the 'function' of a watch? Same holds true for being a FORD. My beliefs will get me to where I want to go; no need to own and maintain an expensive, overpriced philosophy. And when the others in this area realize that a FORD works as well, or better, than any BMW, things might get changed for the better." To which we might add, when Ford builds a car that works as well, or better, than a BMW, they'll sell a lot more cars.
