Made a two finger head that dissipated quickly. Pale yellow color.
Aroma hints of booze and cereals, it does not feel to be a pure barley malt as the label says.
Good carbonation and a thin watery body.
Flavor a little better than aroma, a mild bitterness with grassy hops and light malt sweetness, with a booze finish. Less metallic than others Brazilian adjunct lagers but still so.

Brahma Premium is like any other big macro beer/american adjuct lager. Not sure what makes this more better than the standard Bavaria. Pours golden clear with good carbontaion that provides an intial froathy white head that dissapates quickly. The smell and taste are bolstered by grain with some hop in an effort to balance the beer. This is a standard no-frills beer. Drink it cuz its beer.

A- Nice white persistant head leaving a fair lace on the glass.
S- Smoky with distinct alcohol notes. A little fruity and malty.
T- A little rotten and too bitter. Very hoppy. The malt is overpowering and it tastes bad.
M- Flat and thin.
D- Stay away, stay far far away.

Smells unremarkable other than it has a hint of stalebread.
The taste is fruity swet and finishes bitter.Its pleasant in he mouth with the right amount of carbonation.
Its a good thirst quencher and built for hot days
Pefect for watching beach volleyball.

Reviewed without prejudice, clear 330mL bottle, paper around the neck.
Appearance: Looks all right, the ideal orange/amber colour for the style. Head retention a little less than other similar adjunct lagers. Lacing good, as expected (appearance being important in this style - more important than the other characteristics).
Smell: Quite impressive at first. Smells grassy and potentially refreshing. Not too adjuncty, although a little watery.
Taste: Uh-oh. I thought this was going to be good! Clear glass bottle has eliminated any vestige of hop flavour. Chemicals very evident. Not much else to comment on.
Mouthfeel: Totally lousy. Stomach-feel is not good either. Feels like you shouldn't drink it - remember, all comments are said without prejudice. But this mouthfeel is remarkably bad. 'So you mean that when I grow up I'm gonna be a failure?" "That's right son. A SPECTACULAR failure!"
Drinkability: Wouldn't be so bad in a smoky club straight from the bottle. Clearly trying to crack into the Corona market, at least in Australia - not succeeding too well, in my experience at least. I'd drink this over most Aussie adjuncts, especially if they were cheap or someone were buying them for me. Otherwise, forget it.
Brazilian ripoff trying to convey the mythical party image of Latin America. Nothing especially partyesque about the bottle, label or anything else. A beer for the poser who is sick of carrying Corona around, and wants to pose with a brand new prop. Boo-urns!

Pours a very very light golden color with a white creamy head, almost marshmallow looking.. That fell away pretty quickly though, leaving a very thin layer and some lacing. The smell is mostly skunk with a tiny bit of hops. Flavor isn't too great, pretty dry with a really dry, sour finish. Mouthfeel is pretty thin and pretty weak carbonation, all in all, I can't think of anything that's terribly bad about it, but I wouldn't bother to get it again.

3.35/5 rDev +28.8%
A pretty generic looking beer. Smells identical to Corona, except there is a hint of skunk to it, like this batch was bad. The taste is also generic except for the finish... it has a delightfully sweet finish like yellow candy that makes it easy to drink a couple of them. If this wasn't imported, I would drink it often!

330ml bottle
Pours with a light yellow body, slight head but very light with little retention
Smell, limited, slight grassy malty aroma, mabye a slight sweetness
Taste, the usual adjunct lager, very like corona but with a slight heavier body, slight bitterness
A dull mass produced adjunct lager, dull, dull

To most, the "good life" means money, cars, clothes, and hos. But this isn't the good life I'm referring to. My name is BJ, and I'm just a person aspiring to find the good in life, the good in the people around me, and the good within myself.
I hope through this blog I can meet a community of other people on the same mission. I hope to share and collaborate ideas on different outreach programs and ways to help... help the homeless...the hungry...help anyone who needs it. I want to share the things I do daily to CREATE good in my personal life (because the grass is only green where you water it, right?), and I hope it inspires others to do the same.
This is the path I've chosen. What's yours?

Hello, everyone
I am trying to read data from resource files with Class.getResourceAsStream(), and I get some problems.
It seems related to file extensions.
It works well with .png and .mid, but failed when i use .txt, .dat and some other extensions defined by myself.
I am using JBuilder 7, MobileSet 3.0 and Nokia 7210 MIDP SDK 1.0, and here is the involved code segment:
>1 InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/data.png");
>2 if(is == null) return ;
>3 DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is) ;
// and then some code to read data from dis
When I change the file name "/data.png" to "/data.db" for example, it doesn't work.
I've studied some examples and searched on this forum for this problem. And extensions other then .png and .mid do work fine.
Does JBuilder make any differents?
Any suggestion will be helpful.

DVD & Blu-ray review: The Baytown Outlaws (15) Barry Battles (99mins)
Saturday 05 January 2013
This violent actioner opens with three redneck brothers massacring 13 heavily tattooed chaps in their Alabama home. Turns out they've slaughtered the wrong mob.
We're supposed to find this amusing. Presumably we're supposed to find this whole sub-Quentin Tarantino mind-rot very amusing. It's not. Billy Bob Thornton wastes his energy as a criminal kingpin and Eva Longoria wafts in for a flimsy cameo, but this tasteless film has little else to recommend it apart from an awful lot of energy.

HOUSTON – After a great season opening meet last Friday, the Northwestern State men's and women's track and field teams will travel to Houston to take part in the Howie Ryan Invitational.
The invitational will take place at the Yeoman Field House and will include entries from 18 different schools.
The two-day event will not be scored as NSU goes up against Grambling State, Houston, Houston Baptist, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, McNeese State, North Texas, Prairie View A&M, Rice, Sam Houston State, Southern Methodist, Southern-New Orleans, Stephen F. Austin, Texas Southern, Texas State, Texas-Pan American and Texas San Antonio.
Both squads will be setting the bar high for the weekend after compiling five first place and 15 top-three finishes at the McNeese Indoor a week ago.
"We are hoping to improve on last week's performances," said Demon track and field head coach Leon Johnson. "We are not too concerned with placing as long as we can make improvements.
The Demons had good performances from senior Wayne Douglas, sophomore Emmanuel Williams and freshman Lionel Ellison in the jumps at McNeese.
Douglas and Williams finished one and two in the triple jump while Ellison took first in the high jump.
Johnson also has high hopes for the Demon sprint group as Justin Walker and Kendal Taylor make a full return to the track after competing in just one event each last weekend.
"In addition to having Justin and Kendal competing fully, we will be able to wear our spikes," said Johnson. "We were unable to wear them last week and I think it will make a big difference."
Lady Demon head coach Mike Heimerman is anticipating improvements for the women's squad as well.
"I am really looking forward to this weekend," said Heimerman. "We have had a great week of practice with all of the groups and I think that we are capable of recording better marks all around."
Heimerman also noted the importance of the sprinters being able to wear their spikes this weekend.
"I am expecting great things from all of our sprinters this week because they get to wear their spikes," said Heimerman. "Our 4x400 should seem like a whole new team after this week and I think they will be much more competitive."
Southland Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week Janae Allen is set to have an equally impressive performance this week after taking home first in the shot put and third in the weight throw at McNeese.
"Janae has the ability to crush her personal-record in the shot put this weekend," said Heimerman. "Last weekend she threw a couple of marks that would go far beyond her current best but they did not count due to her foot crossing the foul line. As she continues to develop her technique I think we will see some really great marks from her."
NSU heads to Joplin, Mo. for its next competition at the Missouri Southern Lion Open next Friday.

Make Michael Jackson's Birthday A National Holiday
We all know him as the King of Pop. He's changed the direction of the entertainment business as we know it. He is a true genius. However, there is another side of Mr. Jackson that we rarely hear about. He is, and has always been one of the most generous humanitarians of our time. He has given millions of his own money to underprivileged people around the world. He has his very own charity called Health The World. His mission is to go city to city, state to state, country to country until our world is a much better place, and the human race gets the idea that we are all accountable for what happens to the earth. Despite his fame and fortune, he remains humble. He understands his purpose in life and makes great strides to fulfill his destiny. This is why I believe he deserves to have his birthday declared a national holiday. I need your help to make it happen. Lets not wait 50 years to give him this honor. Lets show him now just how much he means to humanity.

Marian Campbell Mapes loved and revered her late uncle, Clayton Campbell. He was one of the 80 aviators who throttled up bombers on an aircraft carrier in April of 1942 and took off on one of history's most audacious airborne missions.
Mapes, who lives in Santa Rosa, is in Ohio this weekend for an historic moment: the final toast of the surviving Doolittle Tokyo Raiders.
Just four of the airmen whose strike at Imperial Japan rallied Americans' hopes in the dark months following the attack on Pearl Harbor are still alive.
One, Robert L. Hite, who was captured by the Japanese and imprisoned for 40 months, is unable to travel.
The other three — Richard E. Cole, Edward J. Saylor and David J. Thatcher — met Saturday near Dayton, Ohio, to repeat — for the last time — their annual rite of toasting with silver goblets all of their fellow Raiders who have passed on.
The plan has long been that the last two Raiders would open and drink from a bottle of Hennessy Cognac dated 1896, the year that leader James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle was born.
But the four survivors agreed that 71 years after the raid, they're so old that this year's toast will be the last.
Marian Mapes went to witness the opening of the bottle and the closing of a potent chapter in U.S. history — and to remember her uncle.
Clayton Campbell, a navigator on one of the raid's 16 B-25s, was 85 when he died in 2002 in Washington State.
Mapes wrote in an email from Ohio before the reunion of the three Raiders, "The atmosphere is one of great pride juxtaposed with great humility.
"Twenty-five of the original 80 Raider families have at least one family member present, along with many special friends and very significant public and private-sector benefactors."
I'd so hoped that Santa Rosa's Frank Kappeler, who'd navigated another of the bombers, would make it to the final toast. But Frank, a rare gentleman, died three years ago at age 96.

Sen. Mark Warner to Conduct Military Service Roundtable at Old Dominion University's Veterans Business Outreach Center
U.S. Sen. Mark Warner will hold at roundtable discussion at Old Dominion University Thursday, July 8, about providing more structured services and opportunities for military veterans to engage with local non-profit and community service groups.
Warner will be joined by active-duty and retired military officials, military families, leaders of regional community service groups and others at ODU's just-opened Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC), one of 10 centers nationwide that offers entrepreneurial development services to military veterans and reservists.
The 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act ("AmeriCorps") included language suggested by Warner calling for a more sustained and structured effort to provide opportunities for returning veterans to continue their public service in their home communities.
"The unique skills and talents of our veterans can go a long way in finding solutions to big national challenges, and it is clear that a veteran's commitment to service does not necessarily end on the battlefield," Warner said. "Engaging our veterans in a more sustained and meaningful way can go a long way in helping our veterans transition back to civilian life, while also supporting the good work of our community service organizations."
The VBOC had its grand opening on campus June 21, an event attended by military and political dignitaries, including U.S. Rep. Glenn Nye.
President John R. Broderick told the crowd in attendance that the VBOC builds on the strong partnership between the university and the military, a relationship that stretches all the way back to before World War II.
"We now have 24,000 students at ODU, and we estimate somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of them are in some way connected to the military," Broderick said. "We're very excited that Senator Warner recognizes the outstanding partnership we've developed with our military branches, and wants to conduct this event at our Veterans Business Outreach Center."
Funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the only such center in Virginia, the VBOC will provide outreach, assessment, long- and short-term business training, counseling, electronic and online assistance, and other technical assistance to veterans and U.S. military reserve-component business owners and entrepreneurs.
Nye, the Virginia Beach Democrat, called the VBOC "another feather in ODU's cap." He said anyone growing up in Hampton Roads realizes the importance of the military to life in the region.
"Today's opening of this VBOC is an important day, because I think it represents the importance of outreach to the veterans community," Nye said at the grand opening.
Keynote speaker Kathleen Murray, a service-disabled veteran and founder of Norfolk's LAN Contracting, said the VBOC will mean many more veteran entrepreneurs will get a vital helping hand.
"As business owners, we need a place to turn when our businesses need a tuneup. We need information, and more importantly, we need support," Murray said.
The VBOC will be housed at Innovation Research Park @ ODU, Building II, which is also home to the ODU Business Gateway.
The ODU Business Gateway is a business-friendly entry point to the intellectual capital, innovative technologies and world-class infrastructure of the university. It offers services matched to market needs, including business and entrepreneurial consulting and services, advanced manufacturing and technology solutions, training and professional development, unencumbered business consulting, and veterans business outreach and procurement assistance. The result is a dedicated resource for companies, non-profits, government agencies and entrepreneurs to help solve business problems, expand capabilities and create new ventures.

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs. Your lungs are two spongy organs in your chest that take in oxygen when you inhale and release carbon dioxide when you exhale.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, among both men and women. Lung cancer claims more lives each year than do colon, prostate, ovarian and breast cancers combined.
People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases with the length of time and number of cigarettes you've smoked. If you quit smoking, even after smoking for many years, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing lung cancer.
Lung cancer typically doesn't cause signs and symptoms in its earliest stages. Signs and symptoms of lung cancer typically occur only when the disease is advanced.
Signs and symptoms of lung cancer may include:
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
If you smoke and have been unable to quit, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor can recommend strategies for quitting smoking, such as counseling, medications and nicotine replacement products.
Smoking causes the majority of lung cancers — both in smokers and in people exposed to secondhand smoke. But lung cancer also occurs in people who never smoked and in those who never had prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke. In these cases, there may be no clear cause of lung cancer.
How smoking causes lung cancer
Doctors believe smoking causes lung cancer by damaging the cells that line the lungs. When you inhale cigarette smoke, which is full of cancer-causing substances (carcinogens), changes in the lung tissue begin almost immediately. At first your body may be able to repair this damage. But with each repeated exposure, normal cells that line your lungs are increasingly damaged. Over time, the damage causes cells to act abnormally and eventually cancer may develop.
Types of lung cancer
Doctors divide lung cancer into two major types based on the appearance of lung cancer cells under the microscope. Your doctor makes treatment decisions based on which major type of lung cancer you have. The two general types of lung cancer include:
A number of factors may increase your risk of lung cancer. Some risk factors can be controlled, for instance, by quitting smoking. And other factors can't be controlled, such as your family history. Risk factors for lung cancer include:
Lung cancer can cause complications, such as:
If you have signs and symptoms that worry you, start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. If your doctor suspects you have lung cancer, you'll likely be referred to a specialist. Specialists who treat people with lung cancer can include:
What you can do
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. To help you get ready, try to:
Questions to ask if you've been diagnosed with lung cancer
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For lung cancer, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that come to mind during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Testing healthy people for lung cancer
Doctors aren't sure whether people with no signs or symptoms of lung cancer should undergo screening for the disease. Some studies show that lung cancer screening may save lives by finding cancer earlier, when it may be treated more successfully. But other studies find that lung cancer screening often reveals more benign conditions that require invasive testing and expose people to unnecessary risks.
Screening for lung cancer is controversial among doctors. Studies are ongoing to determine what types of tests may be helpful and who would benefit from lung cancer screening. In the meantime, talk with your doctor if you're concerned about your risk of lung cancer. Together you can determine strategies to reduce your risk and decide whether screening tests are appropriate for you.
Tests to diagnose lung cancer
If there's reason to think that you may have lung cancer, your doctor can order a number of tests to look for cancerous cells and to rule out other conditions. In order to diagnose lung cancer, your doctor may recommend:
Lung cancer staging
Once your lung cancer has been diagnosed, your doctor will work to determine the extent, or stage, of your cancer. Your cancer's stage helps you and your doctor decide what treatment is most appropriate.
Staging tests may include imaging procedures that allow your doctor to look for evidence that cancer has spread beyond your lungs. These tests include CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and bone scans. Not every test is appropriate for every person, so talk with your doctor about which procedures are right for you.
Stages of lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is sometimes described as being limited or extensive. Limited indicates cancer is limited to one lung. Extensive indicates cancer has spread beyond the one lung.
You and your doctor choose a cancer treatment plan based on a number of factors, such as your overall health, the type and stage of your cancer, and your preferences. Options typically include one or more treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or targeted drug therapy.
In some cases you may choose not to undergo treatment. For instance, you may feel that the side effects of treatment will outweigh the potential benefits. When that's the case, your doctor may suggest comfort care to treat only the symptoms the cancer is causing, such as pain or shortness of breath.
Chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, clinical trials, supportive care
During surgery your surgeon works to remove the lung cancer and a margin of healthy tissue. Procedures to remove lung cancer include:
If you undergo surgery, your surgeon may also remove lymph nodes from your chest in order to check them for signs of cancer.
Lung cancer surgery carries risks, including bleeding and infection. Expect to feel short of breath after lung surgery. If a portion of your lung is removed, your remaining lung tissue will expand over time and make it easier to breathe. Your doctor may recommend a respiratory therapist who can guide you through breathing exercises to aid in your recovery.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. One or more chemotherapy drugs may be given through a vein in your arm (intravenously) or taken orally. A combination of drugs usually is given in a series of treatments over a period of weeks or months, with breaks in between so that you can recover.
Chemotherapy can be used as a first line treatment for lung cancer or as additional treatment after surgery. In some cases, chemotherapy can be used to lessen side effects of your cancer.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be directed at your lung cancer from outside your body (external beam radiation) or it can be put inside needles, seeds or catheters and placed inside your body near the cancer (brachytherapy).
Radiation therapy can be used alone or with other lung cancer treatments. Sometimes it's administered at the same time as chemotherapy.
For people with lung cancers that are very small, one option may be stereotactic body radiotherapy. This form of radiation aims many beams of radiation from different angles at the lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment is typically completed in one or a few treatments. In certain cases, it may be used in place of surgery for small tumors.
Targeted drug therapy
Targeted therapies are newer cancer treatments that work by targeting specific abnormalities in cancer cells. Targeted therapy options for treating lung cancer include:
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are studies of experimental lung cancer treatments. You may be interested in enrolling in a clinical trial if lung cancer treatments aren't working or if your treatment options are limited. The treatments studied in a clinical trial may be the latest innovations, but they don't guarantee a cure. Carefully weigh your treatment options with your doctor. Your participation in a clinical trial may help doctors better understand how to treat lung cancer in the future.
Supportive care
When treatments offer little chance for a cure, your doctor may recommend you avoid harsh treatments and opt for supportive care instead. If you're receiving supportive care, your doctor may treat signs and symptoms to make you feel more comfortable, but you won't receive treatment aimed at stopping your cancer. Supportive care, which is also called palliative care, allows you to make the most of your life without enduring treatment side effects that can negatively affect your quality of life.
In one study, people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who began receiving supportive care soon after their diagnosis lived longer than those who continued with treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. Those receiving supportive care reported improved mood and quality of life. They survived, on average, almost three months longer than did those receiving standard care.
Coping with shortness of breath
Many people with lung cancer experience shortness of breath at some point in the course of the disease. Treatments, such as supplemental oxygen, and medications are available to help you feel more comfortable, but they aren't always enough. To cope with shortness of breath, it may help to:
Tell your doctor if you experience shortness of breath or if your symptoms worsen.
If your doctor has told you that your lung cancer can't be cured, you may be tempted to turn to complementary and alternative medicine for answers. Complementary and alternative lung cancer treatments can't cure your cancer. But complementary and alternative treatments can often be combined with your doctor's care to help relieve signs and symptoms. Your doctor can help you weigh the benefits and risks of complementary and alternative treatments.
The American College of Chest Physicians reviewed available complementary and alternative treatments and found that some therapies may help people with lung cancer, including:
A diagnosis of lung cancer is devastating. It may take some time to come to terms with your feelings. When you're ready, you can take steps to take control of your situation. Taking an active role in your health care may make you feel more empowered in coping with lung cancer. Try to:
There's no sure way to prevent lung cancer, but you can reduce your risk if you:

CHICAGO — He did it. He finally admitted it. Lance Armstrong doped.
He was light on the details and didn't name names. He mused that he might not have been caught if not for his comeback in 2009. And he was certain his "fate was sealed" when longtime friend, training partner and trusted lieutenant George Hincapie, who was along for the ride on all seven of Armstrong's Tour de France wins from 1999-2005, was forced to give him up to anti-doping authorities.
But right from the start and more than two dozen times during the first of a two-part interview Thursday night with Oprah Winfrey on her OWN network, the disgraced former cycling champion acknowledged what he had lied about repeatedly for years, and what had been one of the worst-kept secrets for the better part of a week: He was the ringleader of an elaborate doping scheme on a U.S. Postal Service team that swept him to the top of the podium at the Tour de France time after time.
"I'm a flawed character," he said.
Did it feel wrong?
"No," Armstrong replied. "Scary."
"Did you feel bad about it?" Winfrey pressed him.
"No," he said. "Even scarier."
"Did you feel in any way that you were cheating?"
"No," Armstrong paused. "Scariest."
"I went and looked up the definition of cheat," he added a moment later. "And the definition is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field."
Wearing a blue blazer and open-neck shirt, Armstrong was direct and matter-of-fact, neither pained nor defensive. He looked straight ahead. There were no tears and very few laughs.
He dodged few questions and refused to implicate anyone else, even as he said it was humanly impossible to win seven straight Tours without doping.

By Heartland News & AP
ST. LOUIS, MO (KFVS/AP) - Missouri is lowering the rates on the state's new high-risk health insurance pool because fewer people are taking advantage of the program.
The insurance pool was created for people with pre-existing conditions who can't afford or obtain their own coverage. The pool was funded through premiums and federal grants of $81 million for Missouri.
The program was funded for 1,000 applicants in its first year, but only 250 people had signed up since July.
Because of the low turnout, the state is reducing the rates by 25 percent, effective February 1. The new rates will be from $178 to $780 a month, depending on the age and deductible.
The program is intended to help high-risk people until 2014, when insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny or overcharge people for coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
About 734,00 people in Missouri are uninsured, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Remember the Cold War? In the minds of today's students, the term may have more to do with Olympic ice skating than with any political rivalries between the United States and former Soviet Union. In fact, one school's use of SkillsUSA's mentoring program showed how far the two nations have come.
Ten Russian students, along with teacher Larisa Shatova, traveled from the Russian town of Shebekino to Bismarck, N.D. The journey was part of an ongoing exchange program that Fran Joersz and Peggy Hoge, instructors at Horizon Middle School, had been organizing since 1998. As part of the program, Russian students of around 14 years of age spend two weeks with American host families, learning the culture and attending school. Later in the year, American students do likewise in Russia.
When Julie Barth, digital design instructor at Bismarck Vocational Technical Center (BVTC) learned of the program, she worked with Joersz and Hoge to make sure that a visit with her school's SkillsUSA chapter would be part of the itinerary. Dale Hoerauf, BVTC's director, readily agreed.
"One of the things [the Russians] said was that they'd been in English classes and history classes," Hoerauf explains, "and they wanted to be in something where they could get their hands into the career aspects of Americans. That's why it excited them to come to the center."
Bob Laches, an electronics instructor at BVTC, thought the visit would tie in perfectly to SkillsUSA's Student2Student mentoring program, already well practiced at the center. In the program, high school members demonstrate their areas of study to younger students through activities in a variety of skilled occupational areas.
Although the mentoring program had previously served only local elementary students, Laches was excited about the prospect of making the visiting Russians a part of what had already proven to be a very successful activity. "It only made sense," he says, "having these Russian students actually experiencing hands-on skills while they're here learning about our education system, and then bringing [SkillsUSA] along with it."
After Barth's and Laches' students planned the activities for the coming visit, the Russians began their day at the vocational center with a hands-on tour of Barth's digital design classroom. "They took some pictures with the digital camera," Barth says, "and then they took those over to a computer where I had them paired up with two of my students. My students showed them how to alter their pictures in Photoshop; they also showed them how to do a transfer sheet and work with colored pencils. They just had a really good time."
According to Barth, any initial apprehension due to language and cultural barriers quickly gave way to normal teen-age bonding. "I know that at the end of the day, they were all so excited and bubbly like kids get at that point," she says. "[The Russian students] had such a good time and were so happy with what we had given them. My students were real excited."
After a short tour of the entire campus, the Russians made their way to Laches' electronics classroom.
"We had them construct a project on the computer using electronic workbench, our industry standard," Laches says. "It was up to the [SkillsUSA] students to explain to the Russians what the component was, what the circuit was, how it worked, etc."
Electronics technology student Chad Kleingartner was impressed with the Russian students' collective aptitude. "They grasped the concepts quickly when they built electronic circuits, because they had good mechanical skills," he says. "It was also fun talking with them about the things they do at home and how we're similar."
After the classroom experiences, everyone regrouped for lunch, where the visitors were presented with commemorative certificates and buttons created by the SkillsUSA students. Some of the Russians offered gifts to their mentors as well.
Before the Russian contingent left the center, all of the day's participants assembled for the obligatory group picture. "When we asked them to get together in a group," Hoerauf remembers, "it was not like the traditional picture where you hide behind the next character. They all got up there, they all arranged themselves, they were excited, they were a team in just the short time they spent together. They were a little family."
"Teen-age kids don't always tell you what's truly on their mind," Barth adds, "but after the Russian kids left, my students made comments like, 'Wow, this was really neat,' and things I've never heard them saying, so they really enjoyed it."
"They learned so very much and were treated like royalty," Shatova says of her students. "The kids loved the entire day."
"Certainly our cultural differences stood out rapidly," Laches points out, "but I think our students found out that [the Russians] are just like us. I think there's a lot of perception that these Russian people are some kind of an enemy, but I think they found out that these kids are just like them They're inquisitive and they're willing to learn. And I think our kids realized what they've got."
As middle-school teacher Hoge prepares to chaperone American students during the next phase of the exchange program, a visit to Shebekino, Barth and Laches are already talking about repeating their mentoring experience next year with a new group of Russian young people. The event has meant extra work for all involved, but Laches feels it's that commitment that is the hallmark of the SkillsUSA program.
"Vocational education has always been about going a little step further," he says. "You educate the whole person, not just [with] the technical aspects. Anybody can sit with a textbook and teach a kid 'a-b-c-d.' It's another thing to make them employable and make them respect them- selves and others. What we're basically doing is bringing the whole picture of community and country together."

z-index issue with greyed out layer
I have craeted a greyed out layer that sites above the website when called, and inside that I have another div, and its this div that is confusing me.
I am using z-index to try and get the inner div to not adopt the alpha transpareny of its parent div, and its just not working.
Here is the css:

Opacity is automatically transferred to children. There is no way around that using pure CSS. You must use the techniques listed in this quiz, which interestingly enough, we had. It's basically just modifying HTML mostly, and then matching up some CSS to make it fit. You'll see.Always looking for web design/development work.

Why do we have food banks?
Original post made by anonymous on Dec 23, 2006
Anybody can get food stamps by filling out a simple piece of paper. If you're illiterate, a government employee will help you. The government, by law, can't discriminate against illegal aliens when it comes to food stamps.
So who are these people that benefit from food banks?
on Dec 23, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Just thought I would add that food stamps cannot be used for anything other than food. This means things like laundry detergent, toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, feminine hygiene, etc. etc. These can be called necessities, and I have heard of people on food stamps requesting money to pay for these items.
on Dec 26, 2006 at 12:09 am
Drug addicts. And it's nice how society likes to provide everything to people who won't work.
on Dec 26, 2006 at 3:30 am
!!!!! Get your head out of the sand Earl...There are people who are from low income families who only make minimum wages and work like donkeys to cater to people like you who need to suppliment their incomes with food stamps........that's a fact. You are the type of person (along with some others) who typecast people who use these programs...what a shame.

Fluid-Structure Interaction
This model demonstrates how to set up a fluid-structure interaction problem in COMSOL Multiphysics. It illustrates how fluid flow can deform solid structures and how to solve for the flow in a continuously deforming geometry. The Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) multiphysics interface combines fluid flow with solid mechanics to capture the interaction between the fluid and the solid structure. ...
Electrostatically Actuated Cantilever
The elastic cantilever beam is one of the elementary structures used in MEMS designs. This model shows the bending of a cantilever beam under an applied electrostatic load. The model solves the deformation of the beam under an applied voltage.
Capacitive Pressure Sensor
A capacitive pressure sensor is simulated. This model shows how to simulate the response of the pressure sensor to an applied pressure, and also how to analyze the effects of packing induced stresses on the sensor performance.
Piezoelectric Shear-Actuated Beam
The model performs a static analysis on a piezoelectric actuator based on the movement of a cantilever beam, using the Piezoelectric Devices predefined multiphysics interface. Inspired by work done by V. Piefort and A. Benjeddou, it models a sandwich beam using the shear mode of the piezoelectric material to deflect the tip.
Computing Capacitance in a Comb Drive
Capacitive comb drives are commonly used both as actuators and position sensors. The following model focuses on position measurement. Many approaches exist for positional measurements with MEMS devices, of which capacitance measurement is the most widely used, particularly in micro-accelerometers. In a pair of interdigitated combs the fingers of one comb do not touch those of the other comb, ...
Biased Resonator Models (3D)
An electrostatically actuated MEMS resonator is simulated in the time and frequency domains. The device is driven by an AC + DC bias voltage applied across a parallel plate capacitor. The dependence of the resonant frequency on DC bias is assessed, and frequency domain and transient analyses are performed to investigate the device performance.
SAW Gas Sensor
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave propagating along the surface of a solid material. Its amplitude decays rapidly, often exponentially, through the depth of the material. SAWs are utilized in many kinds of electronic components, including filters, oscillators, and sensors. SAW devices typically apply electrodes to a piezoelectric material to convert an electric signal into a ...
Composite Piezoelectric Transducer
This example shows how to set up a piezoelectric transducer problem following the work of Y. Kagawa and T. Yamabuchi. The composite piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer has a cylindrical geometry that consists of a piezoceramic layer, two aluminum layers, and two adhesive layers. The system applies an AC potential on the electrode surfaces of both sides of the piezoceramic layer. The goal is ...
Thermal Stresses in a Layered Plate
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced.

Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor
Piezoresistive pressure sensors were some of the first MEMS devices to be commercialized. Compared to capacitive pressure sensors, they are simpler to integrate with electronics, their response is more linear and they are inherently shielded from RF noise. They do, however, usually require more power during operation and the fundamental noise limits of the sensor are higher than their capacitive ...

7 On Your Side talked to four women, on their quest to lose weight, who called on a company named Natural Weight Loss advertising acupuncture ear stapling. "If we can help each other and do this together, let's go do it!," says Carmen Delsaulniers about first considering the procedure. So they went to the Tyler business and got tiny staples in their ear. They paid $85 for one ear, or $110 to have both ears stapled. "We watched a video when we were in there. All it shows is your ear, the staple clamps and pinches a nerve that goes to your stomach to let you know that you're fuller," says Tamara Rogers. "It's kind of like a chiropractor bench type table. [I] laid down on that, turned my ear to the right, he put it in there, raised me off the table and I was out of there. That was the whole office visit," says Donna Alford. As time went by not only did they not see results, but all four of these women complained of pain around the staple itself and, for some of them, pain in their face. "It hurt all the way to my jaw line, it would hurt when you chew your food," says Carmen. Barbara McGovern has a sore developing on her staple. "This one hurts, this one hurts," says Barbara pointing to her ear. These women all want their staples removed, but when they called the company back they were no where to be found. We visited the business to also find their doors locked and immediately called the Texas Department of State Health Services to find out why. 7 On Your Side learned that Natural Weight Loss is being investigated by the department for possible misuse of the stapling device. Officials say the staples in these women's ears are made to close incisions after a surgery, they are not FDA approved to be stapled in the ear for weight loss. The stapling device is only supposed to be used on one person and then discarded. Health department officials believe Natural Weight Loss may have been using the same device on multiple patients. "Now that they're closed again, now that you have told us it`s because of the health department, you're like 'wow!'," says Carmen in disbelief. These women are now stuck finding a doctor to remove their staples, and it's back to basics on their mission to get the perfect body. "Lose weight the old fashioned way, diet and exercise!" exclaims Donna.
If you received these ear staples from Natural Weight Loss and are having problems, the Texas Department of State Health Services says you can contact them to file a complaint. Our attempts to reach the owner of Natural Weight Loss or the doctors who worked there were unsuccessful.

Jesse Jackson Jr.'s resignation was the talk all throughout the city Wednesday.
Calls poured in to the Cliff Kelley Radio Show on 1690 AM, who dedicated nearly two hours to the subject.
It was also the talk in the district Jackson represented, at diners like Tom's in Calumet City.
"I just think that's a brave thing to do, the right thing to do," says resident Rebecca Furlong. "When he's better, he can take up his place again and represent."
Others say this wasn't much of a surprise.
"We'll I didn't think he was going to stay in office anyway," says William Ware who lives in the 2nd District. "It just didn't seem right, he seemed to sick to even do the job or too stressed, or too worried."
"I'm glad that he stepped down and I just think that he should just let somebody else up come and play that can do better for Illinois, because he wasn't doing his job the way it should be done," says another constituent, Danielle Murdaugh.
Some aren't sure why Jackson would choose Wednesday to resign, a day before the holiday. Others believe he chose the eve of Thanksgiving so it won't be reported as much.
Most people hope to move forward with someone who is present in office for their constituents.
"Anything will be better than nothing, which is what we've had for the last 6 months," says Cynthia Gibson. "No representation at all. I hope anything will be better than that."

Dickson County authorities have found two teens who apparently took one of their parents' car and left the home on Nails Creek Road early Wednesday in the Vanleer area.
Peyton Jennings, 14, and James Loudon, 15, took a blue-green Ford Escape from the home on Nails Creek Road. A cell phone ping placed the pair in the McEwen area, and they were later found.
Two other children have been found after they also went missing Wednesday morning in the Town Branch Road area.
Authorities said they have found Collin Crabtree, 13, and Bailey Kent, 12, who had left their homes overnight.
Crabtree apparently left his home and went to Kent's home, which was in the Town Branch Road area.
Authorities said Crabtree texted his mom when he and Kent became lost in the woods.
The boy and girl were found just before 6 a.m. Monday. They were taken into custody and were set to have a hearing later Wednesday in juvenile court on runaway charges.
There is no word on any possible charges against Jennings and Loudon.
