The parents of a Clarke County seventh-grade student have asked the Clarke County Board of Education to overturn Superintendent Philip Lanoue's decision not to ban an award-winning book.
The book, "And the Earth Did Not Devour Him," by Tomas Rivera, is the story of a Mexican boy's life in a migrant family in the 1940s and 1950s, with themes of family life and tensions, getting an education, and growing up, according to an email Clarke County Deputy Superintendent Noris Price sent to the parents. School officials released records of the parents' appeal this week, but redacted their names.
"We think the themes listed above speak directly to many of our students," said Price, who offered a compromise.
"We suggest that if teachers use this book to include a permission slip along with it so parents are aware of potential language issues or violence," he said.
But the parents of the Burney-Harris-Lyons student disagree, according to a formal "request for reconsideration of material" they filed in April.
In their complaint, the parents said that "any possible value is lost with offensive language throughout. At the impressionable age of middle schoolers, purposely exposing them to this language may seem like an endorsement of it."
The parents found one passage particularly offensive, a profanity-laced outburst from a man frustrated by unjust treatment and conditions migrant workers endure.
Lanoue wrote the parents on May 9 to say the book would remain available to students with parent consent.
"This decision is based on the recommendation that the one paragraph does not overpower the other literary elements that (Rivera's) book can offer our students," Lanoue wrote.
The board of education is scheduled to hear the appeal at its regular monthly meeting at 6 p.m. today.
In 1970, Rivera's book won the first Quinto Sol literary award, established by a California publisher to encourage and promote Chicano authors.
The son of Spanish-speaking migrant workers, Rivera grew up to become a college professor and administrator. He was chancellor of the University of California at Riverside when he died in 1984 at the age of 48.

It was an unusual number of tasting samples from Champagne which arrived in my office during this summer and late summer. Although I should have known that, considering the growing difficulties in Britain and even in France, Champagne producers would be trying harder on the rest of their export markets, the amount and the quality of bottles were quite a surprise. I therefore seized the opportunity and asked the German Champagne office to organize a more comprehensive tasting for me which they promptly did.
The three "dosage" categories which we choose for our tasting were "brut", "extra brut" and "brut nature", and many producers, big companies and smaller estates, sent us their samples. At the end I had tasted about 60 wines and the only thing I regretted was that some of my personal favorites such as Salon, Krug oder Selosse were not on the list. In some cases this was probably not even the fault of the producers themselves as the call for samples had only been sent to German Champagne importers.
Who ever believes that sparklers like Cava, Prosecco or others have long closed the quality gap which separated them from Champagne or even doubled the latter, might think about this presumption a second time when reading our tasting notes. I personally have not yet come across a region or appellation with a comparable density and homogeneity of top products.
When it comes to the fact that so many Blanc de Blancs and Extra brut wines scored top ratings in our tastings, this could be due to my personal taste preferences. But then you would have to explain why a group of "laymen" whom I made taste about 30 or 40 of the samples, came more or less to the same verdict. Another possible explanation could be the fact that producers select their best crus / grapes for this kind of wine especially as in the case of the Extra bruts the legal possibilities of "correcting" the quality with the help of sweetening "liqueur d'expédition" are relatively limited.

The three-week long 2016 World Championship of Online Poker on PokerStars has just crossed its halfway point, and there have already been a number of highlights in what will ultimately be an 82-event series.
One big one took place earlier this week with the unprecedented $102,000 buy-in Super High Roller. If you missed it, the PokerNews live reporting team provided coverage of the two-day event right here — starting with the first hands and going all of the way through the heads-up deal between"bencb789" and Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz and eventual victory by "bencb789."
Another unique aspect of the $102,000 Super High Roller was Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercierlive streaming his play in the event on Sunday over PokerStars' Twitch channel, with fellow Team ProJason Somerville on hand as well as a kind of co-host for the show.
Learning from the Jasons
Unfortunately for Mercier, his day didn't go as well as he'd hoped as he busted two entries over the course of the afternoon to finish out of the money.
The first knockout came shortly after Mercier lost most of his stack to Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski after running pocket kings into the latter's pocket aces. Then on his second try Mercierwas felted by Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov.
That final hand with Kurganov represented what Mercier himself described as a "close" decision that ultimately went the wrong way for him.
With the blinds 500/1,000, Mercier picked up on the button and min-raised to 2,000. It folded to Kurganov in the big blind who made it 6,969 to go. Both players began the hand with about 40,000, with Kurganov having Mercier slightly outchipped.
"I think I'm gonna jam, actually," we hear Mercier say as he considers Kurganov's three-bet. "It's fairly close." He ultimately does, then winces a little when Kurganov calls immediately with . The board didn't help Mercier, and he was eliminated.
"Man," exhaled Mercier once the last card had been dealt. "Should have folded."
He and Somerville broke down the decision a bit afterwards, including talking about the top-heavy payouts (only the top three spots paid), the size of Kurganov's reraise, and how folding had certainly been an option.
Even the Pros Seek Out Help from Others
Just prior to that finish, Mercier and Somerville spent some time responding to a question from Twitch viewer about learning Badugi. That conversation then led to Somerville asking Mercier a broader question about learning new poker variants, generally speaking.
"For those players out there who are trying to learn games besides hold'em… what would you recommend people [do] to get better?" asked Somerville.
"I think doing a combination of trying to play as much as you can and search out videos and watch," said Mercier in response. "A lot of it just comes down to practice. Getting your feet wet in these games, then doing some sort of research or trying to find someone that's better than you that you can bounce hands off of" is a great initial step, he explained.
"I definitely improved my game just by jumping into games, and then seeking out someone who I thought was much more experienced in the games [to answer] questions that I had — and I still do it."
Mercier went on to describe how after Day 1 of the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship — one of two World Series of Poker events he ended up winning this summer on his way to becoming the 2016 WSOP Player of the Year — he consulted with deuce-to-seven expert Nick Schulman to discuss hands and strategy.
"It was very beneficial, and I gave him a lot of credit after I ended up winning," added Mercier. "He's won that tournament twice and he's definitely one of the best deuce players in the world… I've told him a bunch of times and I think I'm going to tell him again, that it was amazing that we were able to do that. I benefited from it so much."
The conversation continued, with Mercier pointing out how both the expert and the player seeking help — or the "teacher" and "student" — can gain a great deal from such conversations.
We hear pros make this point over and over — namely, that in poker the learning never really stops, and even those at the very top of the game are constantly seeking help as they continue to try to improve their games.
And as the two Jasons' live stream illustrated, there's a wealth of resources out there for poker players seeking out those with more experience in order to help us get better.

As petrol prices continue to skyrocket, politicians returning to federal parliament have nominated it as the major problem facing Australians.
But only one politician is offering an immediate solution.
Family First Senator Steve Fielding says the government should cut petrol excise by 10 cents.
But doing that would take about $3 billion a year from the government coffers and there is no guarantee the price would not be back at the same level a week later.
Both the government and opposition have said cutting excise would be economically irresponsible but Senator Fielding says it would have no ill effect on the nation's bottom line.
"When you're taking over 50 cents a litre in tax you've got to be drunk on petrol," he said.
"At the last budget it was more than affordable to provide tax cuts and petrol tax cuts."
He said high petrol prices were putting pressure on other consumer goods which in turn were putting pressure on interest rates.
"It was more responsible to cut the petrol tax and provide tax cuts rather than only providing income tax cuts last time around."
Labor says the real issue is providing the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) with more power.
A parliamentary inquiry last week heard ACCC chair Graeme Samuel say he had enough power to monitor petrol prices.
But Labor says he does not.
"In 1997, Peter Costello took away Graeme Samuel's powers to formally monitor and investigate petrol prices," opposition competition spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon said.
"This week in the parliament I'll be moving amendments to allow Graeme Samuel to do so and of course I'll be challenging government backbenchers to support my amendment."
Liberal backbencher David Jull described petrol prices as the "barbecue stopper" during the six week parliamentary recess.
Mr Jull also voiced cautious support for mandating ethanol, a position Prime Minister John Howard has consistently opposed.
"I think ultimately you've got to look at alternative fuels," Mr Jull said.
Meanwhile, Australian Greens senator Christine Milne says the root problem is Australia's dependence on oil.
She called for the federal government to offer subsidies for motorists converting to gas engines along with improved public transport.
"It's been obvious to many people, including the Greens, for a long time that the world is facing oil depletion, peak oil is here," Senator Milne told reporters.
"The age of cheap, plentiful, easily accessibly oil is absolutely over."

My 8 week pick up from @ Digital Press Videogames… I just love that store. The staff is awesome and super knowledgeable. Digital Press video games is located in Clifton, NJ. I stop there ever 8 weeks… and it really is a treat. I picked up this CIB (complete in box) Activision Ice Hockey for the Atari 2600. I just loved this game as a kid… I didn't own an Atari (now I own two different models) but my good friend did. We played this one a lot. The colors and graphics blew our minds! You can even trip the person. Endless amounts of fun. I started a thread on it at Atari.io follow the link here http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/1058-2600-game-pick-up-videos-and-photos/
I did a video of the unboxing of the game.. Check it out below

One of my most favorite games of all time… and yes it is a sports game… i am not ashamed to say this is an amazing football game and probably opened the doors to a long long history of football game greats… they even still have championships of this game… like full on Cash prize events! go check out Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TecmoSuperBowl?fref=ts

I was in some desperate need of some Digital Press video game goodness therapy. I heading to the store after a really $h1ty week of work… As soon as you walk in the door you feel like you are on a cloud of video game goodness! I have a ritual about the place… I always start at the loose NES carts and work my way around the store… But that day I decided I needed to motivate myself to get my colecovision working… So I picked up a few carts… see video game pick up below.
Check out the video below
I posted this video and in this video I explain the delima I have with my colecovison… he offered me some knowledge about cleaning the power switch with this cleaner before I tear the whole thing apart.. (cleaner link below) I have yet to try it but will be trying some sort of electrical cleaner and will report back and let ya know if this is a quick and easy fix!
I was thinking of trying this cleaner first due to the fact I have it… I hope it works… it is what the cleaner is made for and never thought of it before.

A couple of people have stolen my review of the Eureka 5400 vacum. I've sent a DCMA to one but the other site is in French and using Google to translate is slow and time consuming. Further daunting, of what I did translate, it specifically states I will not be replied to via email.

Probably your best bet is to contact a copyright lawyer. However this excerpt from www.writing-world.com/rights/plagiarism.shtml may be helpful especially the 2nd paragraph..
Only the actual copyright holder can initiate an action against a copyright infringement. It's up to you to make contact, and to state your demands. First, decide what, exactly, you wish to accomplish. Do you wish to have the material removed from the infringer's site? Are you willing to allow the material to remain where it is as long as you're given proper attribution? Or do you wish to be paid for the use of the material?You must also determine how far you are willing to go to achieve your goals. If the infringer refuses to accede to your request, how much time and effort are you willing to invest in the battle to come?
If you cannot locate a "higher authority" to help you, the next step is to contact the ISP that hosts the infringing Web site. Under the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, ISPs are required to remove material if they are notified that the material infringes upon someone's copyright. The infringement does not have to be "proven" (e.g., in court); the statement by the author that the material is an infringement is sufficient. "The notice of infringement ... makes the ISP responsible once notified of the infringement in writing, and is signed 'under penalty of perjury.'"
If you are unable to obtain satisfaction by contacting the infringer, contacting someone in authority over the infringer, or contacting the infringer's ISP, then often the only recourse left is legal action. However, many would say that the time to consult a lawyer is not when all other options have failed -- but before you even begin to attempt to deal with a copyright infringement. Unfortunately, for many authors this option often appears too intimidating or too expensive -- which is, perhaps, why so many pirates still sail the electronic seas!

Thank you, it amazes me that a review I wrote about a horrible vacuum was stolen. One person spun it and the other copy and pasted. From the looks of the sites, they won't even earn a penny but it angers me no less.
We had this happen last year. We posted notices on their site and notified them of their violations. We also contacted HubPages regarding this. They stopped (apparently for a while).

Shipping of vegetable oils and fats into Europe by sea voyage benefits from specific conditions. It is permitted in bulk tanks, in which substances included in a positive list (acceptable previous cargoes) were transported.
Strict criteria were established by the Scientific Committee for Food to define the list of acceptable previous cargoes. These criteria were reconfirmed by EFSA in 2009.
For road transport, train and barges, the transport of oils and fats is food dedicated. The definition of food acceptable as previous cargo has been defined by the oils and fats sector in a short list of recommended substances in order to guarantee an optimal cleaning of the tanks (see 14COD152 Annex 1).

Efforts to standardize the approach to trauma have led to an algorithmic, thoughtless approach to trauma that over-utilizes CT in well patients and delays CT in ill patients. In critically injured blunt trauma patients, CT is a fantastically useful test and should be prioritized as the critical diagnostic step to be taken as quickly as feasible. Classic teaching is that unstable patients should be stabilized prior to CT, but this is an outdated, dangerous paradigm; optimal care in severe trauma rapidly implements key resuscitative maneuvers so that resuscitation can continue simultaneously with CT. I have witnessed many cases where persistently hypotensive patients were observed in the trauma bay because "the patient might need to go direct to the OR," but direct to the OR means direct to the OR; observation of an unstable trauma patient prior to elucidation of the injuries is usually the wrong strategy. Know exactly what the initial resuscitative priorities are in trauma so that as soon as they're done, the patient can be taken to their next destination (CT, OR, IR). The following are carried out in parallel with universal first steps of resuscitation and the primary survey. 1. Staunch external bleeding. This can be accomplished with pinpoint pressure in almost all cases, occasionally a proximal tourniquet is required. 2. Resuscitative vascular access. Short, wide peripheral lines or a sheath introducer in a central vein is an immediate priority. Know the flow rates of commonly used catheters. 3. Blood. Do not delay initiation of your massive transfusion protocol in the unstable trauma patient when ongoing internal bleeding is likely….

Ketamine for RSI in Head InjuryApril 3rd, 2010
by reuben in .trauma-general, .trauma-head & face, airway
In this month's Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine, Filanovsky et al describe how studies in the 70s associate rises in ICP to ketamine, and review more recent, higher quality evidence to the contrary. They do not mention that several of the early studies examined the influence of ketamine on ICP in non-intubated patients. Ketamine is well-known to cause brief periods of apnea, especially if pushed quickly; these short episodes are clinically inconsequential when ketamine is used for PSA and irrelevant when ketamine is used for RSI, where patients are simultaneously paralyzed. However, transient rises in pCO2 will cause cerebral vasodilation and a rise in ICP. Apnea time should therefore be minimized in patients potentially susceptible to ICP fluctuations, but this strategy applies to all induction agents used for RSI. Filanovsky et al also review evidence suggesting that ketamine may in fact be neuro-protective in head trauma, though the jury is still out on this question. They also note the concerns around the adrenal effects of etomidate, the induction agent most often used in polytrauma. While we know that etomidate infusions increase ICU mortality, it's so far unclear if single-dose etomidate used for RSI causes clinically consequential adrenal suppression. Irrespective of these two issues, given the tendency of ketamine to increase blood pressure, it should be the induction agent of choice in the hypotensive trauma patient, with or without head injury.

So this is my second video. It starts out with me not being able to hold it any longer and letting it out in my tight jeans for you to see a bulge form and the piss run down my legs. I then fill my jeans with that load in my ass that was peaking out in the turtlehead video. It bulges between my bubble butt cheeks and I pull my jeans down to show you the aftermath. My husband then joins in and shoves his huge cock down my throat while I show off my shitty panties and ass. I enjoy smearing it all over my body and he decided to then stick his dick in the pile of shit stuck between my ass checks. I take some of my turds and put them in his mouth to taste. He literally fucked a hole in my turd while fucking my asshole and used my two days of shit as lube to literally fuck the shit in and out of my dirty hole. He smears shit on my tits and enjoys me jerking his cock off with my filthy waste. The end is insane, I sit on it, slide it in deep while he busts a fucking insane load that started shooting in my shit hole and then you get to see it shoot as I pull it out.

When we're looking for comics in our local nerd den, we're often overwhelmed by the quantity of new titles each week. That's not even counting the back issues and collected series in trade paperback format.
So we asked some of the most alpha nerds we know: the folks at Industrial Toys, a game development team (Midnight Star) with a who's-who pedigree in geek. There's CEO Alex Seropian, the co-founder of Bungie games (Marathon, Halo), Tim Harris, part owner of Alley Cat Comics in Chicago, John Scalzi, best-selling science fiction author, and Mike Choi, a veteran comic book artist in his own right.
Harris and Seropian, along with art director Aaron Marroquin and senior graphic designer Sarah Chiappetta, chimed in to our request with the comic books that they think are the best in the bin.
In all the recent Batman games (Arkham City, Arkham Asylum, Arkham Origins), I've always thrilled to Bat-grapple my way to the rooftops, occasionally base-jumping down to glide-kick some nasty thug just asking for that special brand of Bat-justice.
There's always been one thing missing, though: The Batmobile.
The folks at Rocksteady Games have remedied this sad fact in the latest game in the series, Batman: Arkham Knight, and are showing off a car-porn-filled new trailer to whet our appetite. Check out this bad boy below.
LEGO never goes out of style, and they've pretty much started to take over the world of new meda as well. Whether it's through the LEGO movies or television shows, the 1940's timeless toy has seen a rise in popularity with today's youth. Now there are the games you can play where LEGO plays a central theme.
And Cult of Mac Deals has 5 LEGO titles packed into a single bundle – The LEGO Gamer Bundle For Mac – where you can get $110 worth of games for only $39.99!
Do you have what it takes to bring Batman back to life?
When Batman is imprisoned alongside Gotham's most notorious, he must discover Arkham City's true purpose before it's too late. Batman: Arkham City is an intense, atmospheric sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum plunges Batman deep into a gothic nightmare from which he will need all his wits, gadgetry and skill to escape. And Cult of Mac Deals has it for just $14.99!
Here are just some of the gameplay elements that this game offers:
The iPhone 6 probably isn't going to come out for another 18 months or so, but seems how it's so far away, now seems like a great time to fantasize about possible features Apple might throw into the device based on patent filings. It's Friday. I'm tired. So screw it, let's talk crazy.
Yesterday the US Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that showed Apple is considering adding hidden audio sensors into the displays of the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and maybe even the iTV if they get around to it. What wasn't detailed was how Apple plans to use those sensors, but one crazy idea is that Apple might use them to create sonar-maps kind of like in the movie The Dark Knight.
Gaming is going to be a new experience on the iPhone 5 with that larger 4-inch display, which means it's going to take a little while for your favorite games to be optimized. Fortunately, there are some incredible titles already available. We've put together a list of the best ones, so that you can start enjoying your iPhone's 4-inch display the day you unwrap it.
The Dark Knight Rises is like the most anticipated movie of the year. People are going straight up loco for this movie. Is Batman going to die? Is Bane really just Ricky Martin's alter-ego? Will Michael Keaton make a cameo? We don't know, we haven't seen it yet.
If you're as excited we are though, then you're probably trying to gorge on as much Batman stuff as humanly possible right now. Don't worry, we got you covered and put together this little guide on all the ways you can use your iPad to get your Batman fix while waiting for the movie to finally hit theaters.
Gameloft continues to make friends with all the right people as Hollywood seems to be trusting them to create the official mobile games to accompany their summer blockbusters. First they teamed up with Marvel and Sony Pictures to bring the official Amazing Spiderman and now they've teamed up with Warner Brothers Games and DC Comics to bring the official Dark Knight Rises to Android and iOS this summer.
I've always wanted my own butler that I can order around and have him go fetch me a delicious Chipotle burrito whenever I want. Problem is, I don't have half a billion dollars to pay for one, so I'll never be cool like Batman and have a elderly british fellow named Alfred to satisfy my every need. Siri is the closest I'll ever come to having a true personal assistant, except she doesn't come equipment with Michael Caine's impeccable British accent. But is Siri better than Alfred?

Publisher's Description▼▲
Unique for its breadth in studying theologians not only from Europe and North America but also from Latin America, Asia, and Africa, this landmark volume introduces the doctrine of the Trinity, examining the work and thought of contemporary theologians throughout the world. Veli-Matti Karkkainen provides an overview of the biblical roots of the doctrine, discussing both the idea of plurality in God in the Old Testament and the rise of Trinitarian understandings in the New Testament. He details the historical growth of Trinitarian traditions and delves into specific theologies, both Western and non-Western. Also including both an introductory consideration of the doctrine's significance and a concluding assessment and agenda for future thought, Karkkainen's The Trinity is the broadest and most comprehensive contemporary study on the Trinity available.

The 2013 Nationals have experienced a number of crushing losses. Today's can be added to the list.
Rafael Soriano gave up a three-run homer to Hector Sanchez with two outs and two strikes in the top of the ninth inning, turning a 3-1 Nationals lead into a 4-3 loss.
It's Soriano's fifth blown save of the season, one that snaps the Nats' five-game winning streak in shocking fashion and drops them to 59-61 when they appeared poised to get back to .500.
"That one hurt," manager Davey Johnson said. "That one hurt."
Sanchez's homer came on a 3-2 pitch that immediately followed what Soriano thought should have been a called third strike that would have ended the game. His 2-2 offering to Sanchez, a 93 mph fastball at the belt, was called a ball by home plate umpire Jim Joyce, and the inning continued, allowing Sanchez to crush a ball into the second deck just inside the right field foul pole.
Pitch F/X showed that Soriano's 2-2 pitch to Sanchez was indeed in the zone, but Johnson didn't seem to have a problem with Joyce's call. The Nats' skipper took greater issue with Soriano issuing a two-out walk to Giants left fielder Roger Kieschnick, who is hitting .250 with no home runs this season.
"He basically called the low strike all day, didn't call the high strike," Johnson said of Joyce. "But he was consistent with that. He gave a lot of borderline pitches low. But it wasn't that pitch we missed. (It was) walking the left fielder. And had (Buster) Posey two strikes and threw a hanger. But walking the left fielder.
"The guy you've got to get out, the .250 hitter, you've got to get him out. Can't come close to walking. Got to make him put it in play. That's what hurt."
The blown save is Soriano's fifth of the season. This was his third appearance in as many days, and the veteran right-hander nearly blew a save last night, when Denard Span's diving catch saved what would have been at the very least a game-tying (and probably go-ahead) extra-base hit by Hunter Pence with two outs in the ninth.
Still, Johnson says he didn't give thought to going to Drew Storen in the ninth today. Soriano was his guy in that spot, and he just didn't get the job done.
"He's my closer," Johnson said. "Three days in a row is nothing for a closer. Shoot. He had a long layoff before that. That's his spot. (Dan) Haren pitched a heck of a ballgame. I was gonna take him out, but he helped me. He said I've had it after six. He pitched a heck of a ballgame, though. Again."
Asked about Soriano's job security in the closer's role, Johnson gave Soriano a ringing endorsement.
"He's been very consistent," Johnson said. "He'll give up some hits, but he makes pitches when he has to. Maybe that's his, what, third blown save? Fifth? But he's a command pitcher. For whatever reason, I don't know, I thought he was being too fine on that left-hander. He threw two right by him. Wasn't even close. Then he tried to nibble. ...
"If he locates (the fastball), that's his strength. He locates the fastball. But certain guys, it's just, 'Here, hit it.' You don't need to cut it in on them or nothing."
What would have been the Nats' sixth straight win ends up as a big loss with a 10-game road trip upcoming.
"That's this game," Johnson said. "Can't take nothing for granted. Regroup."

Jonathan Tropper s novel The Book of Joe dazzled critics and readers alike with its heartfelt blend of humor and pathos. Now Tropper brings all that and more to an irresistible new novel. In Everything Changes, Tropper delivers a touching, wickedly funny new tale about love, loss, and the perils of a well-planned life.
EVERYTHING CHANGES To all appearances, Zachary King is a man with luck on his side. A steady, well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment, and Hope, his stunning, blue-blooded fiancée: smart, sexy, and completely out of his league. But as the wedding day looms, Zack finds himself haunted by the memory of his best friend, Rael, killed in a car wreck two years earlier and by his increasingly complicated feelings for Tamara, the beautiful widow Rael left behind.
Then Norm Zack s freewheeling, Viagra-popping father resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends. Norm s overbearing, often outrageous efforts to reestablish ties with his sons i...
The arrival of a long-lost absent father forces a Manhattan man to come to terms with an ongoing romantic triangle in Tropper's latest, a funny, sensitive and occasionally over-the-top comic novel that revolves around the calamitous life of 32-year-old Zack King. King's a horrible job as a corporate drone for a supply company is balanced by his impending marriage to Hope, his gorgeous, successful fianc e. But chaos comes with the arrival of his wacky divorced father, Norm, who left Zack and his two brothers after his wife used graphic pictures of his infidelity as the backdrop for the family Christmas cards. Norm makes himself an unwelcome guest as Zack tries to deal with a potentially devastating health problem and a job crisis that makes him realize how much he hates his life. But the real problem is Zack's growing attraction to Tamara, the beautiful, recently widowed single mother who was married to Zack's friend Rael until a car accident took Rael's life and left Zack alive during an ill-fated road trip to Atlantic City. Viagra-popping Norm becomes increasingly cartoonish as the novel unfolds, and the triangle material is boilerplate, but pithy observations on love, marriage and corporate life give the book a graceful charm. Tropper continues to display a fine feel for romantic comedy in this enjoyable follow-up to The Book of Joe. Agent, Simon Lipskar. (Apr. 5) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

My daughter who lives away from home accesses this email service via a web interface.
As she is currently in the process of changing jobs, she is sending out loads of 'here's my CV' emails, I am trying to set up a template for her to just enter the email recipient.
The template has been completed and attachments and files required have been completed along with the batch file. However the files need to be in a particular place in order for this template to work, hence the batch file. The problem is that once this template has been used once the associated files are then removed by the email server.
I need the 'copy files here' batch file to be run as she accesses the email template it's just the getting it to run the batch file I'm stuck on. I could even write a small VB Programme to do the job, but I would still have the same problem. I need to copy files into a folder to be there when this email is sent.
I don't know, maybe the answer lies with VB Script or java, but I don't know either I can't even begin to imagine how to get this done.
telling you how to load a script without warning would be effectively 'hacking' or should I say creating viral script. Therefore I don't think I can offer the information due to forum rules.
Some pointer might be to use an installer. That places the files on the users HDD where they need to be. Again - not automatic... but it only has to be done once on that machine.
Or go to some spyware websites and see how their scripts are made. Use adaware though! ;-)
How exactly does your ISP allow that?
Mine allows me to run a webserver, and only authenticated SMTP. And even then...
If I have a security leak on my SMTP - they said they will not be responsible and provide no support, if I don't patch it up asap then the big wire will be cut. ;-o
Been fine so far...
Thought this may happen!
I don't want to run any scripts on the client machine, that of course could be classed as hacking. that is not what i was asking, I need to run a batch file on the server, only effecting files on the server as someone uses a paricular webpage.
I suppose you could say i want to do exactly the same as a page hitcounter but instead of incrementing a number by one i need a small batch file to be run.
since i posted last night i've been doing further research on vbsript it would appear that i can copy files and work with files on a clients machine but not on my server. this is not what i'm after so i give up, after all it would appear that people are jumping straight to the wrong conclusions
to answer your question,
I suppose i'm quite lucky, i'm in the UK and run serveral different servers. Of course I need to take care of all my own security and anti virus measures but that is how it should be when you run servers. I suppose if i was very sloppy in running these servers then my isp has every right to (and should) shut me down.
when i compare the amount of spam i still recieve through normal providers i consider i am making a good job of blocking it from my server. this was the main reason i started a pop3 server, i realised i could do a better job...
bummer gone and said it now, i shall await the thousands of emails heading my way tomorrow - lol
Didn't quite understand that...
but now I do...
I see. Umm, tricky you need something to monitor the site then open a batch file, ahhh, wait... PHP. yes PHP PHPHPHPHPHPH... ,lol
PHP could use remote_exec to run a CMD batch script on the server, dont ask how mate - Taran could tell you that... just a thought.
What sofwtare is being run to make a POP 3? Cant find any free software? Wishing I could use my own pop3 as well.
umm and SMTP?
it's called Argosoft and it's not free. To make a good job of it you need good anti-virus (Kaspersky) plus a small program to run the anti-virus against each email and to check its from a verified source (Mail Filter Pro).
That's not counting the back up software i wrote myself and the auto welcome a new user software i wrote myself.
It's a full time job keeping on top of things but so far I've managed to run a spam free, unlimited attachment size Email service that's free.
If you or anyone reading this are interested in signing up, I currently have 4 domains available with a 5th in the pipline for further information just PM Me using the envelope to the left of my name.
ok advert over.
thanks for the suggestion gaz but i've now solved the problem using 3rd party software - if you need to know more, pm me.

Review by DeltaQueen50
Another winner in the series about the scruffy, scandalous yet extremely smart D.I. Frost. As usual, the police are overworked and understaffed as they deal with some extreme cases. A psychopath is breaking into houses and stabbing young children, a teenage girl was abducted and found naked wandering the streets, a corpse with missing fingers has turned up, three children in one family have been murdered and another young boy is missing. These are serious crimes and yet this book still manages to be hilarious as we follow along in the wake of an apparent bumbling, foul-mouthed Frost who manages to upset his superiors every step of the way with his rule bending, yet successful methods.A great series of books that always manage to make me laugh but I would caution against reading these books too closely together as they are quite similar in their plots. I find one a year is just about right.

Everybody Else Is Posting It, So Why Shouldn't We?: Bloc Party - "Mercury"
Based on the ridonkulous enthusiasm that the new Bloc Party track is getting throughout the blogosphere, I'm pretty sure we're going to get kicked out of the Nerdy McNerdington music club if we don't write about this song. Can't you hear the cries of "one of us! one of us! one of us!". Ian, block the door! April, grab the pitchforks! We gotta fight the powers that be! By which I mean we have to assume that bloggers are angry enough at us to actually leave their dark, cavernous basements from where the dwell to hunt us down and kill us. Fat chance of that happening.
Bloc Party's first record, Silent Alarm, was an album that rang the bell on the post-punk revival of the early aughts. The album's brash, youthful exuberance manifested itself into smart, bratty quotations of The Pretenders, XTC, Gang of Four, and a whole host of other post-punk acts. Driven by sharp, treble-y guitars, and fast tempos, Silent Alarm impressed many. Its follow-up, A Weekend In The City was a bit more divisive, because the group had jettisoned many of Alarm's charms to create more straightahead, anthemic album.
I guess that, in the span of an album, or whatever it is that will follow-up "Mercury" (remix record?) Bloc Part have gone from driving to Brighton to the weekend, they're going to arrive late to Williamsburg. This song almost has too much going on. It practically screams "EXPERIMENTAL THIRD ALBUM". Perhaps they were a bit stung by cries of sell-out based on the overt commercial calculation of their last album. As a result, it seems like Bloc Party decided to become overtly ambitious in an entirely experimental way. I thought City was an album that, while having incredible peaks, including the Morrissey-esque wit of "The Prayer", and the working-class sympathy escapist anthem "Waiting For The 7.18" (sweet jesus, I love that track), it was an album that ultimately sunk underneath its intentions. "Mercury" does the same. They've thrown in everything but the musical kitchen sunk. Ironically enough, nothing seems to stick.

The most significant part of human knowledge in the discovery process is data mining. With this, it enables us to analyze enormous data and unveil something that is useful and valuable information in it.
In the new generation wherein technology is on the go, data mining is used in many things not just in business but also in some fields like medicine, transportation, weather forecast, insurance, government, healthcare … etc. Meaning data mining has its advantage when used properly and effectively.
Data Mining Pros
With data mining, it helps every marketing company to create innovative models that is based on data for them to respond the market demands.
Data mining can bring benefits to companies that are operating in retail, this is done through a market analysis basket, and the store can supply the needed product the way market demands. It also enables companies to give discounts on products to attract customers.
In finance and banking, data mining enables the financial institution to analysis the information about loan and credit movement. With the data, it enables them to determine bad and good loans. With data mining it also helps the financial institution like bank for them to detect fraud transactions to protect the owner.
In manufacturing, data mining is used in the operational engineering so that manufacturers detect a faulty machine and determine control parameters.
In government, data mining enables the government authorities to dig and analyze records on all of its financial transaction in order to build patterns that detect money laundering or illegal activities.
Data Mining Cons
In privacy issues, personal privacy concerns have been rising enormously. Especially when internet booms and with the creation of social platforms, ecommerce, blogs, forums, etc… Because of this privacy issues, people are now afraid to share personal information in the digital world or when it is collected, because there are chances that these information are used without permission causing trouble to owners. Businesses collect these customers information in ways for them to effectively understand the behavior of their customers in terms of purchasing. But business don't last long, some of them might be acquired or gone. With these reason, the information gathered from client might be sold or leak.
Security issues, this is a critical issue. All businesses have its information from all of their customers and employees, example birthday, social security number, Tin, payroll, and many more. However the way the information is being kept remains questionable. The chances of digital attacks and enables hackers to steal those critical data's and it become a problem.
Information misuse, the collected information through data mining is basically done for ethical purpose. But the information can be exploited by those people who have personal motives for them to take the benefits.
Data mining is not that perfect. This means that if the inaccurate data is used as basis for making decision, the possibility of causing trouble in it.
Pros and cons of data mining bring in benefits to every business, government, society and individuals. But, the misuse of this critical information can cause a problem if not resolved properly.

FF IX Animation thing by lagiacondaWatch
©2006-2017 lagiaconda
I by no means take this seriously so please comment all you want. Hehe, this was really just practice to get a little better at my Animation for school. At the moment I've been re-playing Final Fantasy 9 and I couldn't resist replicating Zidane's angsty scene in some way. I'm not done with this yet; I was going to experiment with some lipsync for Eiko using a clip I found from Forest Gump. Yeah...Forest Gump. Lol. Anyways, don't tell me about the metal bars not being right. I just noticed that they are way too short and when they stop moving at the wrong point so focus your energy on everything else. I'll update everything when I get Forest Gump in there. ;D Anyways tell me what you think.
Please continue. Would be quite a lot of work to complete the segment but it would cement you in the category of awesome.
Aaaaaw I know the scene. It's when Garland told Zidane he isn't a human from Gaia and he trys to get to Garland by himself and leaves Eiko and Vivi behind. ;w;
cool,...I'd like to see more
Such nice flash work! I love it you're really talented.
Forest Gump audio? Which phrase(s) are you planning on making?
Forest Gump audio? Which phrase(s) are you planning on making?
Lol, thank you very much. I appreciate it. I did this one so long ago I can't remember which one I had in mind to use. It was probably really out of place though "I got shot in the buttocks" or something like that.
I like it a lot nice work!
My first FF game and my fav.
This part had me crying D:
This part had me crying D:

your animetions are very well done...though so short, hope you'll continue them sometime, they look great
Hey, I remember this, it's one of my favourte parts of ff9. Poor Zidane...
I can't believe I finally found a good quality flash for FF9, despite how short it was! Please say you'll add more to this scene! It's my favourite part of the game, and Zidane looks awesome in it! I love how Eiko and Vivi look, too ^^ *faves*
Very nice work. I look forward to seeing more.
My favorite game of all time! :3
This is really cute, though Vivi would have looked a bit cuter if his eyes were a little bigger and farther apart. Just a smidge. I can't wait to see what you do with this :3

Glyphic 2
I have imagined these glyphs as the written language of beings whose scribes are chosen for their ability to mirror-write, that is, they write with both hands, their form of what is our left-hand/right-hand variation would be that most of them work from the centre out, but that some of them go from outside left, and centre, and work across… or, the other way round. Their written language is extremely complex, with meaning derived from a combination of colour and line weight, as well as shape, and, of course, perfect symmetry.
Still playing 'Put Your Needle Down' almost continuously… sooo beautiful. 'Iuka' must be one of the saddest/most beautiful songs I've heard for years.
Currently thrashing 'Put Your Needle Down', by The Secret Sisters… fabulous stuff! iTunes lists it as 'pop'… I don't know if real people decide the categories on iTunes, but this absolutely is not pop! It's way too sophisticated/intelligent/mature. Perhaps it's alt-crossover-trad rock/country/blues? Not pop.
Wild Thing WIPS 3 & 4
So… when they first put my hand in a cast, it was a clunky plaster one, and I totally could not paint/draw. Ten days later, they took it off, to re-X-ray my hand, then they put an awesome fibreglass cast on, which is half the weight of the plaster one, and far more streamlined/elegant. The other day, I discovered I can, just barely, paint with it on… I have very little fine control, but I've been plugging away at finishing this picture of my baby. It is hard, irritating work, and it doesn't take much of it to make my hand sore, but I really want to finish my lovely, scary girl, so I'll keep trying (:
Rosie Thomas 'When We Were Small' is still very much at the top of my current play list… really beautiful stuff (:
It was hard to choose between the original colour version of this, or this version, which I chose because of the fabulous textures/tones/contrasts. I liked the colour version almost as much, because all this driftwood is shades of browns/orangey browns/and orange (:
This is my first photo for a long time… mainly because I cannot draw/paint, due to my hand being in a cast. Have to do something creative.
Private Collection
Seri has a huge collection of art. All of it she has purchased in SL, over her nearly seven years living there. Most of it is by artists who, for whatever reason, simply stopped selling their art in SL, most of them years ago. This is sad, because it is all real art, most of it obviously created by the artists outside SL, in real life, using their often considerable skills. This is the total opposite of the inworld photo's of naked avatars that seem to comprise well over 50% of the 'art' in SL galleries today. Most of the rest seems to be 'abstract'… read; hey, how hard can it be to slap some colour around? This is a great shame, there used to be some amazing, real art in SL.
Seri has had these gorgeous HBLYS Cube'a'cow chair/sculptures for years. She loves relaxing on them and thinking about stuff.

Seri has a small collection of bears… they know more about her than you ever will.

The Nissan e-NV200 Concept is the proof that the Japanese manufacturer is trying to become a leader of the zero-emission automotive industry. Unveiled today at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the new e-NV200 Concept is based on the popular NV200 multi-usage vehicle and previews a near-future production version of a full electric vehicle designed to provide businesses or families with flexible, roomy interior space, while achieving a dramatic CO2 footprint reduction.
Just like the Nissan Leaf, the new e-NV200 Concept features the same central charging port door, the blue–accented Nissan badge, and sweeping headlights with LED illuminated accents. Moreover, the same Leaf Aqua Blue color is found on the new concept. Inside, the vehicle features blue colored accents and bright interior color palette but also advanced telematics and a flat C-cluster display that resembles and responds to user input like a tablet computer.
As expected, the Nissan e-NV200 Concept shares its major drivetrain components with the innovative Nissan Leaf. This means that the power is supplied by a ithium-ion battery composed of 48 compact modules and a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor that generates 207 lb-ft (280 N-m/rpm) of torque.
On top of the worldwide launch of the Nissan e-NV200 concept, the Japanese carmaker is currently evaluating the NV200-based electric vehicles prototype that underwent initial trial in the summer of 2011.
Japan Post Service used the concept car to deliver and collect parcels in Yokohama in Japan. The results of these evaluations would give Nissan real life feedback from companies in several markets around the world, helping the carmaker to come up with a better battery-powered commercial vehicle that would be perfect for the companies that would need them. More tests are lined up in London, this time partnering with FedEX.
"Taxi of Tomorrow"
The Nissan NV200 takes its global tag seriously as it is made in Japan, China and Europe. The vehicle is now available in 40 countries and launches in India and North America are currently being planned.
NV200 will take on its most visible run beginning the latter part of 2013, as New York City would use the NV200 for its yellow cabs, which are used by around 600,000 passengers daily.
Nissan's NV200 was selected among other vehicles from similarly global manufacturer because of its compact exterior and spacious interior in the Taxi of Tomorrow competition. The Nissan NV200 Taxi design is the result of inputs from hundreds of taxi drivers and owners, as well as passengers who also shared their ideas with the carmaker's engineers and designers.
Some of the planned NV200 Taxi features include the roomy luggage area, sliding doors that have grab handles and entry step for easy exit and entry into the passenger cabin, rear seat air conditioning and heat that the passenger can control, Grape Polyphenol filter to help keep the air quality up to par, eco-friendly seat upholstery, improved materials used in the interior to make the cabin smell fresh and easy to clean.

WMF - Würtemburgische Machin Fabrik
(c) Vin Callcut 2002-2017. Small extracts can be used with acknowledgements to 'Oldcopper.org' website.
Helpful comments are very welcome.
WMF (originally Würtemburgische Machin Fabrik AG), originally founded in 1853 in Geislingen an der Steige, Germany. In 1880 there was an amalgamation of Straub & Sohn and A Ritter & Co. and the factory became famous for domestic and art metalware with an appropriate change of name to Würtemburgische Metallwaren Fabrik AG.
A variety of marks have been used during their 150 years of production. The well known 'ostrich' mark originates from the German word for ostrich, 'Der Strauss' after Daniel Straub, one of the founders. The 'G' in the mark stands for the town of Geislingen, on the River Fils and near Ulm in Baden-Württemburg.
This beehive mark was introduced in 1909. A version of the beehive with clear top was introduced in 1910 for the French market.
The company also bought out AK & Cie (Albert Kőhler und Cie), Orivit AG of Kőln (Cologne) and Orion Kunstgewerbliche Metallwarenfabrik. Designers included Hans Peter, Albert Meyer, Herman Obrist, Albin Műller and Peter Behrens.
This WMF mark with horizontal bars was used from 1928-1935. The photo comes from the underside of a crumb tray.
This early mark is accepted as in use up to 1914. It is said to have been been imitated at times.
A rare 'WMF.M' mark on an 1884 specially engraved brass 'Stammtisch' (charger). The 'M' was sometimes used to indicate that the metal was brass (German - 'Messing) during the years 1880-1918. (See Association of Small Collectors of Antique Silver page - ref below)
This WMF Ikora mark on an enamelled copper vase, 1925-1950.
ISKRA mark with crossed storks found on a server for Turkish coffee.
The modern WMF Ikora mark with variation, double struck. The stylised tower is derived from the emblem of Geislingen, a local landmark defensive tower.
Further details of the marks are included in "Art Nouveau Domestic Metalwork from Wurttembergische Metallwaren Fabrik 1906" catalogue.WMF.
The firm is still making good cookware. This simple version of the Art Deco mark was registered in 1965 . Before that there had been an Art Deco WMF in beehive – 1925-1935 and Art Deco WMF in clear top beehive 1935 – 1965. The company now employs 5,500 people.

Naturally Created with a story to tell about hand-crafted wooden boards.
Our story begins with a love for nature's beautiful product of wood. We take a piece of natural timber and carefully handcraft it into a unique board for your home.
All our boards are made by skilled craftsmen who bring out the unique qualities of each individual piece of wood. Because the timber is completely natural no two boards will be the same. They will all have subtle differences of colour and figure making a board that is as individual as you.
We use a range of indigenous British hardwoods which all have their own individual characteristics. The character of oak, the strength of beech, the colour of cherry, the toughness of ash, the figure of sweet chestnut and the lustre of sycamore. Whichever you choose, your board will fit perfectly into your home.
Our timber comes from sustainable and managed British woodlands with complete traceability, we can even tell you where the tree grew!
