Peng Wing comes with 30 levels of tactical game play. The game is very tricky, looks simple, and it is a great challenge.
The 30 levels are well designed to keep the interest levels very high.
You need to direct the penguin to its destination by threading on the melting ice. One jump off the ice block, it melts and you need to land on the next block. Make your moves wisely.
It looks easy, but is quiet a challenger when it goes to higher levels.

David Simon is raising money for Twin Capital Management to further invest in what he predicts will be a substantial increase in mergers and acquisitions.
David Simon's Twin Capital Management, which he founded in 1988, is marketing his fund for the first time. The $230 million firm manages two event-driven/special situations hedge funds, as well as some managed accounts, and is now primarily seeking institutional money. "We didn't actively look for money [in the past]," Simon said. "My whole philosophy has been to maximize returns, and the best way to do that is for me to stay on my trading desk." Despite not having pounded the pavement, Simon was able to grow Twin...

Sticky Tag: |
Change uses of _"foo" to (intl:gettext "foo"). This is because slime may get confused with source locations if the reader macros are installed.
Remove _N"" reader macro from docstrings when possible.
Merge intl-branch 2010-03-18 to HEAD. To build, you need to use boot-2010-02-1 as the bootstrap file. You should probably also use the new -P option for build.sh to generate and update the po files while building.
Restart internalization work. This new branch starts with code from the intl-branch on date 2010-02-12 18:00:00+0500. This version works and LANG=en@piglatin bin/lisp works (once the piglatin translation is added).
Mark translatable strings; update cmucl.pot and ko/cmucl.po accordingly.
Add (intl:textdomain "cmucl") to the files to set the textdomain.
Fix bug in parse-time noted by Chisheng Huang, cmucl-imp, 24 Sep 2007: (parse-time "1 jan 2006") causes an error if Jan 1, 2006 isn't on the same day of the week as the current day of the week. Patch supplied by Madhu, cmucl-imp, 24 Sep 2007. o Change default dotw value from nil to -1 so we can properly initialize the dotw.
Some changes proposed by Madhu on cmucl-imp, May 3, 2007. o Allow microseconds in the time. We don't do anything with the microseconds; we just recognize it and through it away. o Add a check that if the day of the week is specified, it actually makes sense with the given date. Thus, "Wed May 29, 2007" signals an error since May 29, 2007, is Tuesday. o Some slight rearrange of the code for consistency.
Trac ticket #9: parse-time mishandles invalid number of days in a month Add check for valid number of days for the given month.
Make parse-time recognize output from asctime/ctime. A few simple tests were run successfully, but nothing exhaustive. From Madhu, cmucl-imp, 2007-03-26 (and earlier).
Merge in code from HEAD. Both gencgc and gc versions compile themselves just fine.
Fix bug in parsing times. Things like "Tue Sep 7 18:56:57 UTC 2004" were not parsed correctly because the "T" in Tue was being treated as a date-time-divider. Don't allow a date-time-divider to be at the start of the string.
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Merge changes from HEAD branch: * code/parse-time.lisp: Fix typo * code/profile.lisp: callers-p boolean fix. * general-info/release-19b.txt: Update for 19b. * tools/build.sh Added quoting of $VERSION
Fix typo.
Allow parse-time to parse times like "2004-12-23T09:48:30z".
(ext:parse-time "Fri, 04 Apr 2003 01:36:12 0200") => 3258488172 (ext:parse-time "Fri, 04 Apr 2003 01:36:12 +0200") => nil * src/code/parse-time.lisp (decompose-string): Handle offsets from GMT with a leading +. From Miles Egan. Reported by Dan Barlow.
Merge with HEAD.
Format string checking for ERROR, WARN, and others. * src/compiler/srctran.lisp (check-format-args-1) (check-format-args-2): Extracted from check-format-args. (check-format-args): Take a continuation argument for the control string. (format): Use the new check- functions. (error, warn, compiler-error, compiler-warning) (compiler-note, compiler-mumble): Add format-checking deftransforms. * src/compiler/fndb.lisp (compiler-warning, compiler-note) (compiler-mumble, compiler-error): Add defknowns. * src/compiler/ir1util.lisp (compiler-mumble, compiler-warning) (compiler-note): Return no values. * src/code/parse-time.lisp (deal-with-am-pm): Add a missing arg to error. * src/compiler/saptran.lisp (foreign-symbol-address): * src/compiler/new-assem.lisp (emit-annotation): Likewise.
Recognize UTC (as the same as GMT).
Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
In decompose-string, fix error report generated when :error-on-mismatch is true to indicate correct bogus character.
o Extend parse-time to accept the patterns it matches as a keyword argument, allowing it to be used for parsing alternate date-time formats. o Add support for parsing the three common HTTP time formats: RFC1123/RFC822, RFC850, and ANSI-C - requiring the new pattern symbol izone to handle the different time zone conventions.

The insurance carrier of a regional power-generation facility asked the company to perform regular preventive maintenance on the switchgear within its operations. Unfortunately, regular downtime was not a practical option for the power plant, as the processes required to do the live inspections were hazardous and required more manpower and resources than the facility could provide. Management began to seriously re-think its strategy: In light of NFPA 70E, inspections of energized equipment were becoming more restrictive, more time-consuming and more costly.
What had not been seenThe overall focus was to facilitate inspection of the primary switchgear in the facility's electrical distribution system and several smaller operations within the plant. An impending shutdown increased the sense of urgency, since all Phase I installation could be fitted during that period.
IRISS performed an on-site inspection to ascertain the optimal position and quantity of windows that would give thermographers thorough visibility of desired targets. It found that none of the primary switchgear or transformers had been included in the site's inspections. The reason: inherent safety hazards associated with their being safely inspected while energized (see Table I). Based on this information, the primary goal of Phase I of the IR window installation was to bring this equipment into the standard inspection routes—and more important, allow the inspections to be conducted in line with NFPA and OSHA safety mandates. A time study was then completed, detailing the man-hours and the costs involved in completing Phase I.
Typical cost analysis of traditional inspection...
The power-gen facility had previously been using a contract thermography company, with a survey crew made up of two in-house electricians and one contract thermographer. The hourly wrench time (time spent on productive labor) rate for the electrician was calculated at $62, and the contract thermographer's rate was $150 per hour ($1200 a day). Typically, the equipment being considered for Phase I window retrofitting would require 19 days to complete. This translated into 497.7 billable hours (see Table II). Alarmingly, as the task breakdown in Table II also shows, there were a staggering number of unproductive man-hours (94% of the total project time) associated with the standard inspection activities.
Table III details the man-hour costs for the infrared survey using a contract thermographer without IR windows or viewports. The following assumptions are made:
The benefits of IR windows...
In his investigation of the technology, the power-generator's corporate reliability engineer determined that IR windows:
The facility's 95 applications with 147 inspection compartments required 203 infrared inspection windows. The 203 installed IRISS infrared windows represented an investment of $48,841.00, including contract-labor installation time.
The IR-window installation...
The installation of the inspection panes was conducted during a shutdown, using two install teams. The majority of the windows were installed while equipment was de-energized, in what NFPA terms an "electrically safe work condition." Some installations, however, involved energized gear and needed to employ the traditional safety measures such as use of PPE, energized work permits, etc. The work occurred during normal business hours since this allowed more flexibility.
Cost analysis of inspection with IR windows...
With the infrared windows installed, there was no requirement to remove panels or wear increased levels of PPE. In addition, inspections could now be performed on their applications that had previously been considered "uninspectable." Finally, the entire task became a one-person job.
These IR windows also increased efficiency and economy-of-motion. Total personnel-hours to complete an inspection dropped to just 33. As a result, plant surveys of equipment dropped from a cost of almost $45,484 to just under $4950 (see Table IV). Because of these efficiencies, the facility now spends $40,534 less per inspection than it did prior to the installation of the windows—translating into a savings of more than 90%.
Calculating return on investment
Table V combines data from previous tables to illustrate the return on investment (ROI) that the power plant realized from Phase I of its infrared window program. This information details the total investment using two scenarios: 1) traditional open-panel inspections with a contract thermographer and two staff electricians; and 2) the same contractor using IR windows.
Switching to the windows was shown to pay dividends in just two inspection cycles—producing more than $33,227 in savings that can be put back into the budget by the end of the second cycle. After five inspection cycles, the savings were over $153,829.
Because inspections can now be completed with greater ease and without increased risk to the plant, the personnel and the processes, the operation increased the frequency to a quarterly basis, reflecting best-practice recommendations that originally were not considered feasible.
The new inspection process using infrared windows brought substantial ROI to the plant in just two inspection cycles, while reducing the risk of catastrophic failure of the site's critical power-distribution systems. Management succeeded in:
In the future, the facility plans to buy its own IR camera and provide training for its maintenance engineers—which should quickly pay dividends and allow the plant to improve its maintenance program, all while operating in full compliance with the requirements of NFPA and OSHA. MT

1999Our web site is a wonderful resource for kids around ages 8-up because we purposely designed the stories and information to be understood by children. There are not many pages they can understand on World War Two. We have a trivia, an interview, and many other interesting items, most found on the Miscellaneous page. We took the tragedy of the awful war and tried to put it in a kids perspective. We explained all of the major parts of the war and added fun details for interest. We hope that many kids can benefit from our exciting site. We were trying to teach people about all aspects of WWII and make it understandable for everyone. We personally feel that we have obtained all of our goals and that we did the best we could.

Welcome, guest
Wed Feb 24, 2010
Permin, a new London-based multi-strategy equity proprietary trading operation, is seeking seed investment for its debut Permin Dynamic Alpha trading fund.
The Permin team: Scott Perkins, Kingsley Minty and Tim Chadwick

Alicia finds an ally and a friend in Kalinda, the firm's tough and mysterious in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace.

Ephemeral port
An ephemeral port is a short-lived transport protocol port for Internet Protocol (IP) communications allocated automatically from a predefined range by the IP software. It is used by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as the port assignment for the client end of a client–server communication to a well known port on a server.
On servers, ephemeral ports may also be used as the port assignment on the server end of a communication. This is done to continue communications with a client that initially connected to one of the server's well-known service listening ports. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) applications are two protocols that can behave in this manner. Note that the term "server" here includes workstations running services that receive connections initiatied from other clients (such as Remote Desktop Protocol or RDP).
The allocations are temporary and only valid for the duration of the communication session. After completion of the communication session, the ports become available for reuse.[note 1] Since the ports are used on a per request basis they are also called dynamic ports.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) suggests the range 49152 to 65535 (215+214 to 216−1) for dynamic or private ports.[1]
Many Linux kernels use the port range 32768 to 61000.[note 2] FreeBSD has used the IANA port range since release 4.6. Previous versions, including the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), use ports 1024 through 5000 as ephemeral ports.[2]
Microsoft Windows operating systems through XP use the range 1025 to 5000 as ephemeral ports by default.[3] Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008 use the IANA range by default.[4] Windows Server 2003 uses the range 1025 to 5000 by default, until Microsoft security update MS08-037 from 2008 is installed, after which it uses the IANA range by default.[5] Few Microsoft articles other than KB Article 956188 reference the new port range used by Windows Server 2003, leading to confusion. Of specific note, Windows Server 2008 with Exchange Server 2007 installed has a default port range of 1025 through 60000.[6]
In addition to the default range, all versions of Windows since Windows 2000 also allow the option to use a non-default port range with a maximum of 1025 to 65535.[7][8] Some Microsoft articles misleadingly list only this non-default range,[9] leading to a popular misconception that 1025 to 65535 is the default or required port range used.

In the wedding blogosphere, things move at breakneck speed, and you can be sure that any wedding blogger worth her salt will have discovered, dissected and disseminated any trend worth trying at least a season before it hits the mainstream. Earlier this year, I visited White Gallery London – a huge exhibition and set of catwalk shows at which the big name bridal designers launch their new season collections to the trade and press – to take a sneak peek at the gorgeous gowns that will be landing in bridal boutiques near you this autumn. Let me tell you, if you are in the market for a wedding dress this season, you are in for a treat!
What followed was a collection of high profile designer interviews, right here on the pages of this wedding blog. The collections have now landed in a boutique near you, so if you missed the previews and interviews, I'll be republishing these to Facebook over the next few days. Click here to like our page and stay updated.
As well as online, I wrote about the beauty and drama of the new collections in my regular column for Loved Up Magazine. Here's my summary of the season. Limited by word count, let me tell you, it doesn't even touch the sides of all the fabulous frocks you have to choose from. Make sure to revisit our Designer Series interviews at the earliest opportunity too!
Brides Up North in Loved Up Magazine autumn/ winter 2014
The collections this year had something for everyone with glitz, feathers, embellishment and lace, as well as simpler styles too. Skirts were either voluminous (with a nipped in waist) or sleek and swishy. Many designers drew inspiration from bygone eras – with the 1920s and 1930s being popular influences – and whatever your hemline preference: short, long or even trousers, there was something for you. Favourites included Suzanne Neville's Vintage Rose Collection, Stephanie Allin's fairy-tale gowns and boho styling from Terry Fox Couture. Check them out soon at a Northern stockist near you.
Cuvee Rose by Ian Stuart
Blushing Bride
The craze for adding a pop of colour to your wedding gown continues for spring/ summer 2014 with a watercolour wash of pastel shades on the catwalks. Fashionista Ian Stuart led the way with his candy coloured Frill Me! collection.
Great Gatsby!
Where the silver screen leads bridal fashion follows, with drop waists, beading and gemstones more prevalent than ever for the new season. Add a bejewelled feathered headdress and some dancing shoes to complete the look. Daisy Buchanan, eat your heart out!
Gatsby by Suzanne Neville
Celeste by Naomi Neoh
English Vintage
Contrasting with all that Hollywood glam, other designers like Sassi Holford, Charlotte Balbier and Caroline Castigliano stuck to what they do best – British beauty. If you favour the English rose look, their floaty skirts and frothy lace confections will be a dream come true.
Annie by So Sassi
Cute & Quirky
Rarely seen in the past, there's now a flippy little short number in nearly every designer's collection, as well as jumpsuits and shorts making an appearance at the most cutting edge design houses. If you still favour a frock, check out flirty t-shirt sleeves, deep pockets, daisy detailing and polka dot lace to bring the cutest dresses right up to date.
Jesus Peiro 2014
Simply Divine
Don't despair if you like your styling fuss free. Many designers kept things clean this season with a focus on structure and tailoring. Watch out for the new collection by Astral Sundholm Circa Brides for a refined and fresh look.

Innocent Ujah Idibia (born in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria), better known by his stage name 2face Idibia, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer. He is commonly referred to as 2face or Tuface or 2Baba or Tubaba. He is one of the most decorated and successful hip pop artists in Africa. He is consistently ranked as one the best African musicians of all-time. He was a member of the defunct Plantashun Boyz and after it disbanded, continued his solo musical career.
2Face has received one MTV Europe Music Award, one World Music Award, five Headies Awards (Hip-hop award), four Channel O Music Video Awards and one BET award for his musical work, four MTV Africa Music Awards, one MOBO award, one KORA award, and numerous additional nominations.
Early life[edit]
Innocent Idibia was born in Jos, Nigeria. He is from the Idoma ethnic group in the southern part of Benue State, in central Nigeria.[1] He attended Saint Gabriel's Secondary School in Makurdi, Benue State. He enrolled at Institute of Management & Technology, Enugu (IMT), where he did his preliminary National Diploma course in business administration and management. While attending IMT, he performed at school organized shows and parties, as well as other regional schools such as the University of Nigeria and Enugu State University of Science & Technology. He eventually dropped out to pursue his music career. While attending IMT, 2face Idibia started composing and singing jingles at the GB Fan Club at Enugu State Broadcasting Services (ESBS) in 1996.
Also in 1996, he adopted the stage name "2Face" (Tuface). He cited the reasoning as "trying to demarcate my personal life with my business life.[2]
In Plantashun Boyz[edit]
He moved to Lagos and started performing with rapper BlackFace Naija. He had met BlackFace while attending IMT.[3] With Blackface (Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo) and with musician Faze (Chibuzor Oji), he went on to form the trio band Plantashun Boyz.
Plantashun Boyz released two successful albums: Body and Soul (2000) and Sold Out (2003)under the Nelson Brown's owned Label (Dove Records)[4] before disbanding in 2004. Relations were marred for many years during which the band broke up and started their solo careers. Long after the break-up known as the "Faze vs Tuface" beef, the band came back together in 2007 for the purpose of recording a third and final album entitled Plan B (2007).[3]
Solo career[edit]
After the disbandment of Plantashun Boyz in 2004, all band members sought separate musical careers. 2face Idibia released his debut solo album Face 2 Face (2004), which established him as a viable solo artist.
Following the release of his debut album, he released his sophomore album Grass 2 Grace in 2006, which contained hits "One Love", "True Love, "4 Instance". He is the founder of Hypertek Entertainment.
In 2006, his song "African Queen" was used in the soundtrack for the film Phat Girlz, which was released internationally.[5]
He released a promotion album in 2008 called The Unstoppable releasing the single "Enter the Place". Problems with album distribution in 2007 caused as shift of the release date of the album from 2008 to early 2009. In 2010, 2face released an "international edition" of the same under the title The Unstoppable International Edition making him the first Nigerian artist to have an appropriately priced international album.[6][7] 2face released two more singles from the international version of his Unstoppable album. The international edition of the album won two awards at the 2010 SoundCity Music Video Awards.[8] He also won the Channel O Music Video Awards Best African Western award and the MTV Africa Music Awards for Best Male and Artist of the year.[9]
Upon leaving the music label Kennis Music, he set up his own record label known as Hypertek Entertainment.[10] He is part of the Sony All African One8 Project alongside seven other musicians across Africa recording a single with R. Kelly and Prince Lee titled "Hands Across the World".[11] He is the first non-Liberian to become an honorary member of the Liberian music society in recognition for his outstanding contribution to the growth of music in Africa.
Personal life[edit]
2Face has experienced near death events including gun shots from an armed robbery.[7][12]
Idibia has six children with three women. With banker/born again Christian minister Sunmbo Ajaba[13] he has sons Zion(January 2006[14]) and Nino(April 2008[15]). With Washington DC based makeup artist Pero Adeniyi—daughter of P music promoter Chief Jide Adeniyi—he has daughter Rose, son Justin, and a newborn son born in April 2012.
With Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay he has daughter Isabella(December 2008[16]). On May 2, 2012, 2Face Idibia and Macaulay married in Lagos, Nigeria in a private ceremony.[17][18] 2face announced his marriage via his Twitter page. Annie Macaulay and 2Face had their traditional wedding on the 8 March 2013 in Eket, Akwa-Ibom State Nigeria. The couple also had a white wedding in Dubai, on Saturday 23 March 2013[19] with Nigerian and Ghanaian celebrities all present to see the long term couple tie the knot.

Midwest Sports Fans:
Carlos Boozer,
Joakim Noah,
Derrick Rose
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards
A few weeks back, I discussed Joakim Noah's emergence on MSF. But now it's time to bring up the Bull riding the best hot streak, Noah's right hand man and NBA veteran Carlos Boozer.
Boozer has largely been a disappointment to Bulls fans – until now.(Photo by Keith Allison via CC BY-SA 2.0)
Boozer, since being signed as a free agent from the Utah Jazz and heading to Chicago in the summer of 2010, has largely been a disappointment. Although the PPG/RPG totals in his first two years with the Bulls have been solid (17.5/9.6; 15.0/8.5), he's been constantly criticized for his lackluster defense and inconsistent offense and rebounding.
Also, he's been a far cry from the No. 2 the Bulls thought he'd be to PG Derrick Rose. But most importantly, he hasn't been worth the $75 million that Bulls upper management thought he'd be deserving of. That is, until recently.
According to my estimation, Boozer had put up at least solid numbers in somewhere around 60% of the Bulls first 27 games this seas...
