May God hold you and yours in the palm of his hand! Happy Easter!
Thanks Kristine. You and your family have a nice rest of the weekend. Shetland
Kristine have a Happy Easter and be safe.
Kristine Happy Easter to you and your family. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks for the comment on my pic. That was a trip a few years ago. Retirement? Ha!! I got a new gig. I'm overseeing and coordinating drug and alcohol prevention programs in Sussex County, NJ. Retirement lasted about 6 weeks.
Thanks so much for your good wishes. I am very fond of blue jays.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;... If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,Rudyard Kipling
Kristine, we are getting some cool weather late in the year down here too. I'l ltake it. The furry kids are doing good. Have a great weekend and be safe.

wow. are people really that angry over a video game ending? come on
oh my god lol I have Never seen a retailer do that. Least not while offer a Full refund, usually some sort of rebate or coupon that can only be used in their stores. I mean EA might do it, I remeber the fiasco with APB. Some went about the route of raising hell to get their money back. And don't even get me started on what happens if a steam-game tanks.. kiss that cash goodbye
Steam gave me a refund for the Doom Collection when half the games wouldnt start, took about a week and had to send in screenshots some system info... but no hassle really
I was just responding to whoever said Steam kisses your cash goodbye. Im keeping my ME3, Im still holding out to see what they do
This is insane! I mean the rest of the game is excellent, it would be tantamount to piracy to get a full refund after finishing it.

A lot of people are frustrated about Mass Effect 3. They want to return it. They do.
What's the problem ?
Erm, making a game that was so frustrating and disappointing it causes mass migration in games. When an environmental disaster happens, first thing companies do is make sure no one....I mean no one is on record saying "sorry,or mybad". Theres a reason for it.
Me? I don't like Masseffect, never have. Too many "pew-pew" lasers , not enough beefy weaponry and extremely linear within actual gameplay. Yet I don't go off on a tizzy about it, I knew i would never like it so I never bought it. I feel that decision had it's own rewards.
I mean there were complaints about the game before it even hit the shelves, yet people lined up to give their money, and when the next masseffect is made(some corny play on the I.P im sure) Same people you see complain about it, will probably be the first in line for the next. This is why we ended up with ODST
If you don't like it, hit em where it hurts...their wallets.
While I think that the Mass Effect games are criminally over-rated allowing a full refund is just silly.
So the ending features death of shepard? the fuck is that really?
they ask us to keep our saves ergo the character for five years or so only to kill him/her, probably in a very cheap way? I would be pissed too. Haven't they learned anything from Beth's shitty Fallout 3 ending?
good for amazon and its customers.
ITT: People pissed off about a company upholding it's customer's statutory rights.
What the fuck is with the gaming community's mindset, really?
So what you're saying is that developers should never kill off player characters?
Why? By all accounts the rest of the game is great. Everybody seems to really enjoy it right up until the very last minute or so when the weird plot shit turns up. How is it justifiable to give a full refund just because people don't like the very end of the game?
You know what? I didn't like how HL2: Ep2 ended. Where's my friggin' refund?

I bought some books which had endings I didn't like - where's my refund? The last track on the latest album I bought was a let-down - where's my refund? Strategy Game X says I will be the supreme leader of the galaxy, but I suck at it and I never win, so they made a false promise - where's my refund?
Come on... getting your money back because the game doesn't work is one thing, but asking for a refund just because you didn't like 5 minutes of an otherwise entertaining experience just makes you look stupid.

When Settlers V came out and included a new Securom protection that was incompatible with many existing CD/DVD-drives back then, most retailers did offer a full refund.
Thus started the UbiSoft-Wars, back in the days.

Can we hide the spoilers please. Some of us (probably most) have not played or bought ME3 yet and would rather not have the ending ruined... no matter how obvious it is.

That beach has such a lovely view. Looks like a perfect beach outfit.
I adore the picture of your rings. It's so amazing that you can still see the mountain in the background. I was driving down Rainier Ave in Seattle today and the view definitely reminded me of why it's called that. I love it when it's clear and you can see all the mountains. - May 30, 2009 at 3:26 PM

Great quote--new to me. One to rereread...
I'm from the PNW where I wore Saltwater Sandals all summer long. I saw a vintage pair at Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago and wondered if they could have been mine....
Seriously, they are the best sandals ever, and they were incredibly cheap when I was a kid. Still not too bad, but a bit hard to find.
The photo on the road is my favorite.
I've hiked on snowdrifts in the Cascades in June, too.

Sleep Function
Hey dear kind people reading this...
I want to have a delay in my program

Thanks so much!!!
Sleep Function
I am using the Sleep function from win32 lib and my application
Obviously because it is used in a loop and I set the time
to 1 millisecond. In the same loop I call DoEvent Function.
The application uses the vbModless in order to show the
window in the taskbar.
The usage of this Mode and the Sleep event is because
the application is using 100% of the CPU
Any help here?
Thank you
What Does 'sleep' Function Do?
With reference to my previous thread on copying USB drive
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
I was told that the 'sleep' function pauses the application for specified time interval. (May not necessarily give time to other processes to run simultaneously ).
Is it true?
So what is the difference between 'sleep' and this loop?
Dim date1 As Date
date1 = Now
While (DateDiff("s", date1, Now) < 5)
My main concern is to let my application give some breathing time to other processes while copying folders of several gig in size
Sleep Function In OCX
If i use the sleep function in an OCX will it effect the program that it is using, or will it just make the OCX sleep/
Sleep Function
Does anyone know how to make a sleep function, I want to make a picture visible, then wait 1/2 a second then make it visible and so on and so on
Is There A Sleep Function In Vb?
is there a sleep function in vb? where I can stop my code from running for about 5 seconds to wait for something else to finish.
this is from vb help, I need to wait for my batch file to finish before my code continues. I'm surprised there isn't a wait or sleep function, what am I missing?
Note By default, the Shell function runs other programs asynchronously. This means that a program started with Shell might not finish executing before the statements following the Shell function are executed.

Sleep Function
does VB5/6 contain something like a 'sleep' function ? say i attempt to contact a remote server but at the time no connection can be made, and i'd like the code to try again after a wait of 15 minutes
i'm currently sending the errortrap to a timer with an interval of 60000 milliseconds where it loops 15 times, but that seems a rather clumsy way of doing things

Is Sleep Function Bad?
Hey there,
I was doing some reading on the sleep function, and some ppl seem to say it's not a good thing to use. I have a program that will load at the system startup, and i have Sleep set for 300 milliseconds. Is this ok?
Is There A Function Better Than API SLEEP?
I have read that from the internet that API sleep minimum delay is 10ms even though it is "sleep 1".
Is there a function that is almost like the API sleep but much more precise? Real 1millisecond delay?
I have seen some multimedia timer that is able to set the interval to 1ms and it really does. But I really need SLEEP function to do the job.
Thank you.

When I use the sleep function like this:
WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.yahoo.com/index.html"

Sleep Function Problem
Hey guys, nice to be here.
Can you please point out why this code doesnt work?
Private Sub Start_Button_Click()
Message_Box.FontSize = 12
Message_Box.ForeColor = vbBlue
Message_Box.Print "Wait for 10 seconds"
Sleep (10000) ' 10 seconds
Message_Box.Print "10 seconds have passed. Now you can continue"
End Sub
i'm aware that Sleep freezes the whole application but shouldnt it display the first message, then sleep for 10 seconds, and then display the second message? Because as soon as i hit the Start button, the program freezes without displaying the first message.
Any advice on how to make this work?
thanks in advance
Get A Function To Sleep, Not Whole Program
First off, sorry if this is in wrong board, I didn't know where to put it. Anyways, I'm writing a program that streams video to a shoutcast server. I have it do it by sending a little bit, sleeping for a tenth of a second, then sending a little more, and it continues this. Doing just this, it works fine.
I'm trying to add other things to my program, which also involve doing things at a certain timing, but the Sleeps are interfering with each other.
I have each part broken into a function. Is there anyway that I can get just the function to pause and allowing other parts of the program to continues as usual? A little searching brought me to SleepEx, but it either is the wrong thing or I'm not using it right, as it does the same thing as Sleep.

Problem In Using Sleep Function In My Program
hi all,
i had 8 set of pic. one appear after another. initially, my program is as follows:
Delay 1
Picture2.Left = Picture2.Left + f * 1 / 8
Picture3.Visible = False
Picture4.Visible = False
Picture5.Visible = False
Picture6.Visible = False
Picture7.Visible = False
Picture8.Visible = False
Picture9.Visible = False
Delay 1
Picture2.Visible = False
Picture3.Visible = True
Picture3.Left = Picture3.Left + f * 2 / 8
Public Sub Delay(HowLong As Integer)
TempTime = DateAdd("s", HowLong, Now)
While TempTime > Now
DoEvents 'Allows windows to handle other stuff
End Sub
i find that the delay is too slow and i change it to sleep function and i get the result as attached. what should i do to solve the problem? thanks.
Pause, Wait, Or Sleep Function?

Making A Function Take Longer To Execute (sleep ?? ))
I need to make a function take longer to execute, but not by inserting loops and so, perhaps a function that delays the execution of instructions.
I need this because I need to use an object with php and php unloads the object just after the function returns anything.
Or perhaps I could return the value of a function from an other (very unlikely to me)?

Hi out there.
I'm getting stupid! I created a new thread. The thread calls a function which sets a textbox on a form to current time. Works well but my cpu is running 100%. No question cause there is a do ... loop with text1 = time$ inside. Going forward i inserted a sleep(500) into the loop. Guess what happened? The app crashed. Now tell my why. I tried everything. Any ideas?

Help With SLEEP
First of all, I am using VB6 on an NT platform. I wrote a simple VB6 routine to run an FTP job every 12 hours, transferring a text file from an old unix server to my pc. I have been able to run the FTP successfully in other programs and it works perfectly when I add the SLEEP. Every 12 hours, the routine runs, yet when this program is SLEEPing in the background it interferes with the logon process of a unix inventory tool. As soon as I shut down my VB program, the unix tool allows me to logon. So, each operates perfectly independant of one another, but the VB routine somehow is causing a problem.
I can, however, logon to the unix tool first, then run my VB FTP routine and both work fine, but if I start up my VB FTP program first, the unix tool won't let me logon.
Here is how my SLEEP is declared:
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Here is how my SLEEP is used:
Call Sleep(43200000)
Has anyone else had a problem like this, and is there a fix? Any guesses at to what the problem is? Is there a replacement I can use in place of SLEEP? Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. By using my "Task Manager", I can tell that my VB6 program is NOT causing excessive memory or processor usage (nor is the Unix tool), so that can't be the problem.
Is there like a sleep/pause function in vb ?
Thank You,
I am trying to use sleep, but it does not seem to work (sub or function not defined). Are there any alternatives?
sleep 100
I am looking for something like the sleep() command in other languages. Want my code to pause for a set(-able) time, without having to rebuild my whole application to use the timer-object.
Thanks for your help!!!
If found a code using this
VB Code:
Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long 'PausePublic Sub Pause(HowLong As Long) Dim u%, tick As Long tick = GetTickCount() Do u% = DoEvents Loop Until tick + HowLong < GetTickCountEnd Sub
to pause,
so what is the different between this and Sleep ?
which 1 is better..?

Hi All,
Here is my code, I am running on Windows NT.
VB Code:
Private Declare Function Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) Private Sub Command1_Click() Sleep 100MsgBox "Done" End Sub
However, it crashes at the sleep command. Is there any reason why this isn't working?? It works through Perl without any problems.

This sentence was in a grammar textbook:
Here's how it's read (except for the last kanji, for which this question is about):
かれは どうりょうに ライバル いしき、ひいては さついすら ??ていた
... and it means:
"He regarded his colleague as a rival, even to the point of considering murder."
My question is about the last kanji, 抱. It seems to have three readings, 【だ・く】, 【いだ・く】, and 【うだ・く】, though I think the last one might be rare.
So far as I can tell, they all carry exactly the same definition, which is "to hold, to embrace, to carry", which can be meant both in the physical sense of actually holding something, as well as the metaphorical sense of holding onto a feeling, like a grudge. (So I would assume the translation above, which isn't mine, took the liberty of changing "harbouring intentions of murder" into "considering murder".)
Is there a way I can determine which reading is the right one? Unless I'm mistaken, they all conjugate with the same okurigana, so I can't use the trailing hiragana as any kind of indicator.
Is there any difference in implied meaning or usage between the readings?
Also, slight bonus question... My understanding is that the 【だ・く】 reading can be used as a slang way of saying sex (I saw it used that way in a TV show once). Is that true, what would be the nuances it carries, and is it also true for the other readings?
Lastly: As is always my preference, please keep answers readable for all, with either no technical linguistic terminology, or with linguistic terms in a separate section for those who want it. Thanks!

Minneapolis fire fighters issue focuses on facts and figures By Gary Blair The controversy surrounding the City of Minneapolis' hiring practices of Native American fire fighters continues to go unresolved. The city claims to have numerous Indians who work for the fire department, but checks of the city's civil service records reveal that most aren't tribally enrolled. And while the lack of legitimate efforts to recruit Indians for the fire department is a profound part ofthe issue, racial discrimination is apparently at the root of the problem. Minneapolis Native American fire fighter Mike Beaulieu says he was once told by one of the fire captains, "We'd rather hire Indians than niggers." Last Friday, the bi-monthly meeting ofthe Fire Fighters Steering Committee (FFSC), formed by a federal court order to monitor the hiring of minorities by the city's fire department, became heated when it was learned that reports requested by the committee had been substituted. Ron Edwards, the FFSC chairman, says the group was given a list of fire fighter recruitment efforts by an American Indian Opportunities and Industrialization Center (AIOIC) staff member that were from a different year and compiled by a different organization. AIOIC is a training and jobs program for Native Americans located in south Minneapolis and has been under fire for receiving recruitment dollars from the city and never having recruited any Indians that were hired by the fire department. Apparently, the AIOIC recruitment register contained names of people that were recruited in 1991 by the Anishinabe Council of Job Developers, Inc. (ACJD), and an attempt was made to pass that roster off as recruitment efforts made by AIOIC in 1992. Wilma Mason, director of ACJD, says she recognized the only documented Indian that was hired by the fire department that year. "I remembered his name because I checked out his enrollment when we did the recruitment," she said. Fire cont'd on pg 6 Notice: Sentencing for Senator Harold "Skip" Finn scheduled for Friday at 3:00 at the U.S. Federal Courthouse, 110 SoAuth Fourth Street, Minneapolis Voice of the Anishinabeg (The People) 1 Fifty Cents Finn's future hangs in balance By Jim Ragsdale Staff Writer, St. Paul Pioneer Press When Minnesota Sen. Harold "Skip" Finn faces a federal judge this week, his future may hinge on differing interpretations of a private meeting in his law office only weeks after he was sworn in as a new senator. Finn, a soft-spoken lawyer from Cass Lake, pleaded guilty in August to a misdemeanor charge of misapplying funds ofthe LeechLake Band of Chippewa. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday by U.S. District Court Judge James Rosenbaum. While his career in the Legislature hangs in the balance, Finn's legal defense received a set-back last week. A co-defendant, Leech Lake tribal leader Myron Ellis, said in a sworn statement that Finn tried to cover up critical evidence as prosecutors were closing in. Finn, 46, is a Leech Lake band member who attended the University of Minnesota Law School and came home to become the tribe's attorney and a lawyer in the Walker area. In November 1990, he made history by being elected as state senator from District 4, covering a large swath of north-central Minnesota. When he was sworn in on Jan. 8, 1991, he became the first American Indian to serve in the Minnesota Sen ate. He remains the only American Indian in the 201-member Legislature. Finn is not legally required to resign, because the charge to which he pleaded guilty is a misdemeanor. But Finn, a Democrat, and Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe say Finn will probably step down if he receives any jail time. Moe has held off Republican calls for Finn's resignation until he is sentenced. Finn's trouble with the federal government stems from private firm he set up in the mid-1980s to provide insurance coverage for the Leech Lake band. Finn cont'd on pg 4 ajibwi News We Support Equal Opportunity For All People Founded in 1988 Volume E Issue 36 March 3, 1995 1 A weekly publication. Copyright, The Ojibwe News, 1995 Ex-con stabbed by girl he terrorized By Gary Blair Another round of violence on the White Earth resenation has left one man dead and a fourteen year old girl in custody—charged with 2nd degree murder. Arnold Belland, 32, was found dead at his girlfriend's home in White Earth last Friday evening after Becker County authorities were called. Reports from the White Earth commumty say Belland was stabbed shortly before midnight while involved in an altercation with his girlfriend's teenage daughter. On Wednesday, county officials the PRESS spoke with said the matter is still under investigation and because it involves a juvenile they can't divulge additional information. A close relative ofthe girl the PRESS spoke with says the incident should have never happened. "Everytime he (Belland) got drunk, he started picking on [the girl]." He says it took the Sheriffs deputies over an hour to respond. "They're pretty slow when they know it's an Indian," he said. Becker County Attorney Joseph Evans told the PRESS, "The person who called in the report didn't say anything about someone being stabbed," he said. "All they said was that it was a domestic problem." Lowell Bellanger of White Earth responded, "It makes no difference what type of call they [the Sheriff's Department] received, they shouldn't have taken that long to respond." PRESS sources say the girl's mother had been in the hospital and that she had been staying with an aunt most of the time because of Belland. He had been staying at the house even though the girl's mother had told him not to go there while she was away. The night of the murder, the girl was at the house with a friend and Belland came in, apparently using a key. He kicked in the door to the bedroom where the two girls were and that's where the altercation that led to the stabbing took place. It has not been revealed what type of instrument Belland was stabbed with. PRESS sources say after the incident Belland's relatives stopped on the road outside the house where deputies were investigating the death and made threatening remarks to the girl.

Red Lake closes off its season at home Monday night against Fond du Lac. The Bears started the game confidently with two buckets, keeping Red Lake from scoring for a minute and a half, when Keveon Kingbird woke up the crowd with an acrobatic 360 degree driving layup. Red Lake, playing 4 seniors 3 of which were reserves dropped two tres and finished the quarter with a 16-8 run, 26-16. Red Lake's starting five started off the second period with a 7-0 run, and upped the advantage by 25 at halftime, 53-28. Lake of the Woods switched to a man-to-man defense in the second half, but to no avail as Red Lake out-scored them by 15 in the third, and an all B-team fell short by only one in the fourth.

There may be something troubling about a lot of white people—"experts"—fighting it out to define the centuries-old family relationships of Native Americans. It's 1995, and we've got Europeans trying to figure out whose red blood is less white. Maybe it's because of what lies on the outcome. The family tree of the Mdewakanton Dakota in Shakopee is starting to shake in federal court in St. Paul and if the vibrations are strong enough, it could cost mil lions to any branches that fall. In the homes around the booming Little Six Casino, the question on everyone's mind is who has enough Native American blood to stay eligible on the tribe's membership rolls. If it can be proven there's too much blood of non-Native American ancestors running through your veins— remember that old fur trapper your great aunt always talked about?— you could just find yourself getting cut out ofthe gambling profits. Attorney James H. Cohen has a nice little case going on in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle. Addressing history, greed, tribal laws and sovereignty, it is seen as one of the most significant I ndian gaming cases in the country. That's because the outcome of the case will more clearly define how much immunity the politically charged tribes have from federal gambling regulations. Tied up in this is the issue' of tribal membership and the power struggles ofthe leadership when it comes to interpreting tribal membership rolls. Cohen is representing a group of tribal members—including former chairman Leonard Prescott—who believe their rolls have been severely diluted, allowing too many people to receive gambling profits. This is not a mere academic question. The gambling profits are estimated to be over $500,000 per year per person. It's a battle of fraction: worth millions. The defendants in the case, led by tribal chairman Stanley Crooks, believe they can control the membership rolls any way they wish and that the federal government does not have jurisdiction. Deciding exactly who in the tribe is entitled to a share of the yearly cut from the money grinding out of the slots and off the blackjack tables By Bunty Anquoe Indian Country Today WASHINGTON - As the old saying goes, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and mounting tribal anger over BIA streamlining plans has won a year-long moratorium in the heated issue. Ada Deer, assistant secretary for Indian affairs, last week told tribal leaders Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt has agreed to scrap current reorganization proposals and has approved a one-year extension to allow tribes and bureau officials to find an alternative plan to downsize the agency. "We explained (to Babbitt) that there was serious opposition from tribes and we were successful in continuing talks with tribes," she told the mem bers ofthe Senate Indian Affairs Committee at a budget oversight hearing. The BIA is expected to eliminate 448 full-time staff slots and reduce administrative expenses by $34.5 million during the 1994-1996 fiscal years as a part of the Clinton administration's overall plan to streamline government by slashing the federal workforce by 252,000 by 1999. The BIA developed a streamling plan with several options which was presented to and strongly rejected by tribes over the last month. These included: consolidating the 12 area offices to six or eight or directly slashing central and area office personnel by 50 percent. Ms. Deer and other officials recently wrapped-up a month-long swing through all 12 BIA areas to open hostility throughout Indian country. Tribal leaders have angrily charged the bureau with steamrolling the plan by not consulting with them and accused the agency of ignoring a four- year, multimillion-dollar BIA reform plan crafted jointly by tribal and federal officials. They also insist that any savings brought by downsizing measures be reinvested in resenation communities. "I want to emphasize that I was not sitting in my office dreaming-up these ideas," Ms. Deer said ofthe BIA plan. "These came from the administration.... The BIA developed the most feasible plan under constraints." Jesse Taken Alive, Standing Rock Sioux chairman, said he is pleased BIA cont'd on pg 5 By Philip Brasher discuss the proposals which met with Efforts to steer work to Turtle Mountain angers union transcribed, and Dorgan got $4 only one tribe that would qualify: The million put into its 1995 budget to pay Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, aprivatecontractortodothejobona which owns a company that has trial basis.

Venezuela-Election (Will update)
Venezuelans voted Sunday in a presidential election that pits incumbent Hugo Chavez against challenger Henrique Capriles Radonski.
Syria-Civil-War (Will update)
Syrian forces killed at least 36 people in a Damascus suburb Sunday, opposition activists said, as the government said it "cleansed" the area of terrorists.
Libya's General National Congress rejected Prime Minister-elect Mustafa Abushagur's crisis government proposal Sunday. The vote results in the automatic dismissal of Abushagur as prime minister-elect, while keeping the current government in place until a new one is formed.

YouTube Hall of Fame: The Worst Movie-Star Transformations Ever
By Grantland Staff atIn theaters this week are Clint Eastwood's slightly anticipated Razzie-contending Hoover biopic J. Edgar — featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and 50 pounds of sweaty, wrinkled silicone as the titular FBI director — and Adam Sandler's terrifying-looking Jack and Jill in which he plays his own sister. To celebrate, Grantland's YouTube Hall of Fame is remembering the worst and least explicable movie-star transformations ever.
Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit
Rafe Bartholomew: John Wayne did yellowface. So did Marlon Brando. Katherine Hepburn? You bet. Yul Brynner? Duh. If so many legendary actors have crude Asian stereotypes on their résumés, then what makes Fisher Stevens' turn as Indian engineer Ben Jabituya in Short Circuit (and the renamed Ben Jahrvi in Short Circuit 2) so horrendous? Well, Wayne, Brando, Hepburn, and Brynner all did their racial damage before 1960, while Stevens broke out his Kwik-E-Mart accent and mocha foundation in the late 1980s. Were we really so ignorant 25 years ago that a white guy from Illinois could spit malapropisms like "I have to go to the Jack" and "Her pants are blazing for you, Newton Crosby!" and audiences wouldn't mind? Apparently, yes. Thankfully, the Short Circuit movies had the perfect antidote to Stevens' unfortunate transformation: the open-hearted humanism of a military robot who has been struck by lightning and brought to life. Johnny Five Alive!

That would take far too long and be confusing in the long run. Rather, break down your knowledge in several sections and strategies that will help you score the best you can.

How To Prep For The ACT Math Section
ACT MATH: 60 questions in 60 minutes The best approach to the math section of the ACT is to break down the various questions into categories. That way the page doesn't look like a mish-mash of numbers but rather: two geometry problems, an algebra problem, and a graphing problem. You need to know several main categories and memorizing a couple of formulas will help down the home stretch. Basics: Know how to determine the average of something and how to find percentages. Know how to add and multiply fractions and how to work exponents. Algebra: This covers questions with "x" and "y" in it. ... Read More About How To Prep For The ACT Math Section

Blues to ask lawmakers to allow it to become nonprofit, taxpaying mutual insurer
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will ask state lawmakers to take action soon to pass health insurance market reforms.
The insurance reforms contained in state Senate Bills 1293 and 1294 would regulate all health insurers under consistent guidelines and enable the BCBSM Board of Directors to transition the company to a taxpaying, nonprofit mutual insurer.
These reforms were proposed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder in September, and eventually gained support of an overwhelming majority of the state Senate and a broad group of business and health organizations.
However, Snyder vetoed the legislation when, at the last minute, the GOP added a rider which required anyone who might need or want an abortion to buy additional coverage "for an abortion," said gubernatorial spokesman Kurt Weiss on Monday.
"Governor Snyder didn't agree with the more restrictive abortion language," calling it an overreach of government and vetoed the legislation, he added.
"We are disappointed with the veto but understand the governor's decision," said Andrew Hetzel, BCBSM vice president for corporate communications.
"We also understand why he proposed the legislation in the first place. Michigan needs a modern and fair system of regulations for health insurance that encourages competition and expands consumer choice. The governor's proposal is also an unprecedented opportunity to invest billions in creating a healthier future for Michigan's people."
Key provisions of the BCBSM-backed legislation include:
- BCBSM will pay taxes, estimated to total $1.8 billion over the next 18 years. This levels the playing field for BCBSM competitors, which have long considered the company's tax exemptions to be a competitive advantage, the Blues said;
- BCBSM will remain a nonprofit company, and as an expression of its nonprofit mission, it will contribute $1.56 billion over the next 18 years to a separate and independent nonprofit fund that will invest in programs to improve public health and protect the vulnerable;
- BCBSM will provide an estimated $800 million in subsidies for its "Medigap" supplemental insurance plans for Medicare beneficiaries through July 2016 — freezing rates in those plans at current levels.
- BCBSM will be regulated under the same law as its competitors, creating a fair and balanced set of rules for all health insurers in Michigan, according to the Blues.
The legislation also includes provisions sought by Blue Cross' competitors and advocates for older adults for a ban on "most favored nation" clauses in contracts between hospitals and health insurers and language requiring subsidies for Medigap insurance to be provided to low-income seniors by the state's nonprofit fund through 2021. Continued...
The proposed legislation also requires the Blues contribute a "fair share" of reimbursement to hospitals to account for underfunded government programs and uncompensated care.

I'm going to be filming some martial arts videos, and I need a light setup. I need the light to cover a very broad area...maybe 15-20 feet wide and at least 10 feet back...any ideas for a cheap setup for this? I was thinking about maybe trying 2 big construction lights, and then a white posterboard to reflect the light back onto the subject...
I also saw these, would these be powerful enough to light up a big scene?
I've done a lot of reading, but most of the reccomendations seem to be for mainly close up shots...and mine will be people moving around and fighting etc so it will be hard to maintain a closeup.
