Hey Guys, I recently stumbled across this list and liked the goals of the project. I have had the problem in the past of trying to roll out many gentoo boxes at the same time. Since there wasn't a solution at the time I ended up giving up. But I would love to help out with anything you guys need doing (coding, testing, etc..). If nothing else to allow an easy transition for my organization. So if anyone can point me in the direction of code and/or a TODO list, if there is one yet; i'll start helping out. -- Christopher Hotchkiss (813)960-9273 http://www.post227.org -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

SuperRugby depth importance already shown.
February 11, 2013 in Uncategorized
So the Stormers and Sharks (SA's two favorites) have been dealt cruel blows on the injury front.
The Sharks lost Daniels and Whitehead AND the Stormers lost Etzebeth all out with various injuries. Luckily for the moment being, none is said to be season enders at this stage.
The Sharks and Stormers do boast the biggest squad depth of all the SA franchises and should both be able to cover the injuries.
For the Sharks it was always going to be a tough decision who to play in the lose trio. The combination of Coetzee, Alberts and Kanko might in anyway be a stronger one than one with Daniels in it. And with Steyn back Whitehead was going to compete with Jordaan for the 13 jumper. So all in all I do not believe this injuries will weaken their run on team. This does however weaken the squad should there be any other injuries.
For the Stormers it will not be as easy to replace Eben. At his young age he is already considered one of the best if not the best no.4 in the world. That said all though it would be impossible to replace a player like Eben they do have good options available in Elstadt and Rhodes.
In a weird way this might help these players over the long season as they all will be 6 – 8 weeks fresher come the latter stages of the comp than the rest of the guys.
One team that has impressed me in the early season is the Bulls. They have silently build up quite a nice level of depth and although a lot of the depth are still very young they are all the real deal and might surprise a team or two this season. (that is the youngster not the Bulls as the Bulls will always have a chance of winning)
Cheers .

as: 294 Mont. 87, 976 P.2d 988)
Supreme Court of Montana. In re M.P.M. and A.R.M., Youths in Need of Care. No. 98-443. Submitted on Briefs Feb. 4, 1999. Decided April 20, 1999. Rehearing Denied May 14, 1999. Department of Public Health and Human Services petitioned for temporary investigative authority (TIA) to investigate suspected abuse and neglect of children. Following show cause hearing, the District Court, Yellowstone County, Diane G. Barz, J., dismissed petition, and ordered that Department immediately turn children over to custody of their Indian father. Mother appealed. The Supreme Court, Trieweiler, J., held that: (1) any error in failing to consider prior guardianship file before dismissing petition was harmless error, and (2) court exceeded its authority in ordering placement with father following dismissal of TIA petition. Affirmed in part and reversed in part. Gray, J., filed opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part. **989 *87 Kevin T. Sweeney; Sweeney & Healow; Billings, Montana, for the Mother. Hon. Joseph P. Mazurek, Attorney General; Jennifer Anders, Assistant Attorney General; Helena, Montana, Dennis *88 Paxinos, Yellowstone County Attorney; Melanie Logan, Deputy County Attorney; Billings, Montana for respondents. D. Michael Eakin; Montana Legal Services Association; Billings, Montana, for the Father. Steven Kelly; Attorney at Law; Billings, Montana, for Northern Cheyenne Tribe. Marcia Good Sept; Children's Law Office; Billings, Montana, Guardian Ad Litem. Justice TERRY N. TRIEWEILER delivered the opinion of the Court. ¶ 1 The Yellowstone County Attorney filed a petition for temporary investigative authority on behalf of the Department of Public Health and Human Services in the District Court for the Thirteenth Judicial District, Yellowstone County, to investigate the suspected abuse and neglect of M.P.M and A.R.M. The District Court dismissed the petition for temporary investigative authority, and ordered that the Department immediately turn the children over to the custody of their father. The mother appeals the District **990 Court order. We affirm in part and reverse in part the judgment of the District Court. ¶ 2 The following issues are presented on appeal: ¶ 3 1. Did the District Court err when it agreed to take judicial notice of a guardianship action involving M.P.M. and A.R.M. and then dismissed the petition for temporary investigative authority without reviewing the guardianship file? ¶ 4 2. Did the District Court exceed its authority when it ordered the Department of Public Health and Human Services to deliver M.P.M. and A.R.M. to their father's custody after the Court had dismissed the petition for temporary investigative authority? FACTUAL BACKGROUND ¶ 5 In June 1994, the Department of Public Health and Human Services began receiving reports regarding the mother of M.P.M. The reports raised concerns for the welfare of the child because of alleged drug use in the home in the child's presence. Thereafter, Department social workers made numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact the mother. In 1996, she had another child, A.R.M. Reports of drug use and child neglect continued through 1998. The youths' mother had been living with her mother, who had been caring for the children periodically for several years. In the fall of 1997, the maternal grandmother filed a petition in the District Court for the Thirteenth Judicial District requesting guardianship of the children. However, that petition was ultimately dismissed by District Judge Russell Fagg. ¶ 6 In February 1998, Department social workers requested that the mother take a urinalysis. The urinalysis was positive for *89 methamphetamines. The mother agreed to work with Department social workers and not to see her children while undergoing drug evaluation and treatment. The Department, at that time, informed the grandmother that she would need to care for the children. ¶ 7 On May 29, 1998, the Yellowstone County Attorney, on behalf of the Department, filed a petition for temporary investigative authority (TIA) in the Thirteenth Judicial District Court, before Judge Diane Barz. The petition asked the District Court to grant the Department the authority to investigate the suspected abuse and neglect of the two minor children by their parents. The petition, in relevant part, also asked the District Court to grant the Department the authority to: (1) place the children somewhere appropriate for their protection; (2) obtain necessary and reasonable medical, dental, and psychological evaluations and for treatment of the children; (3) obtain a drug and alcohol evaluation of the father; (4)require that the mother follow the recommendations of her chemical dependency evaluation and that the Department be provided with her treatment records; (5) prohibit the parents from visiting or contacting the children until the Department deemed it appropriate; and (6) appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the best interests of the children. On June 3, 1998, the District Court appointed Marcia Good Sept and/or Damon L. Gannet as guardian ad litem for the children. The children's paternal grandfather and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe both intervened in the action, since the children are either enrolled in, or eligible for enrollment in, the Tribe. ¶ 8 In compliance with § 41-3-403, MCA, Judge Barz ordered a show cause hearing at which to consider the Department's petition. At the show cause hearing, the Deputy County Attorney offered the order and memorandum from the guardianship proceeding as evidence. Rather than admit it, the court stated that it would take judicial notice of the document and look at the original. However, at the end of the hearing, the court dismissed the petition for TIA without reviewing the order and memorandum or any of the records in the guardianship proceeding. In addition to denying the petition for TIA, the court ordered the Department to immediately place the children with their father. ¶ 9 The mother has appealed from the District Court's dismissal of the TIA proceeding and order requiring the Department to return the children to their father. She contends the District Court erred by not reviewing the guardianship file before dismissing **991 the petition for *90 TIA. The guardian ad litem has filed a brief supporting the mother's argument. ¶ 10 The Department argues on appeal that the District Court exceeded its authority when it ordered the Department to transfer custody of the children to their father after it had dismissed the TIA petition. ¶ 11 The youths' father and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe filed a joint appellate brief in which they assert that the District Court did not err in failing to review the guardianship action, and that the court had the discretion to weigh the evidence. They further assert that even if the court erred by disregarding the guardianship file, it was harmless error because the Indian Child Welfare Act would have required that any action by the State be supported by testimony from an expert witness, and no expert evidence was presented. Additionally, they contend that 25 U.S.C. § 1912(d)(1998), would have required proof that remedial efforts had been unsuccessful in keeping the children in the custody of their parents, and no evidence of that type was offered. STANDARD OF REVIEW [1] ¶ 12 We review a district court's conclusions of law in a youth in need of care case to determine whether its conclusions are correct. See In re J.J.G.(1994), 266 Mont. 274, 281, 880 P.2d 808, 812. We review findings of fact to determine whether they are clearly erroneous. Daines v. Knight (1995), 269 Mont. 320, 324, 888 P.2d 904, 906. We review evidentiary rulings for an abuse of discretion. State v. Abe, 1998 MT 206, ¶ 44, 290Mont. 393, ¶ 44, 965 P.2d 882, 888, ¶ 44, 55 St. Rep. 876, 880, ¶ 44. ISSUE 1 ¶ 13 Did the District Court err when it agreed to take judicial notice of a guardianship action involving M.P.M. and A.R.M. and then dismissed the petition for temporary investigative authority without reviewing the guardianship file? ¶ 14 The children's mother and the guardian ad litem contend that it was incumbent upon the District Court to examine the guardianship file prior to dismissing the petition for temporary investigative authority. In response, the father and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe argue first that the District Court had the discretion to weigh the evidence presented at the show cause hearing; and, second, that assuming the District Court erred, the error was harmless because the *91 requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) for foster care placement or termination of parental rights had not been met. ¶ 15 The State conceded in documents filed in the District Court that M.P.M. and A.R.M. are Indian children and that the Act applies. ¶ 16 The Indian Child Welfare Act provides in relevant part: (d) Any party seeking to effect a foster care placement of, or termination of parental rights to, an Indian child under state law shall satisfy the court that active efforts have been made to provide remedial services and rehabilitative programs designed to prevent the breakup of the Indian family and that these efforts have proved unsuccessful. (e) No foster care placement may be ordered in such proceeding in the absence of a determination, supported by clear and convincing evidence, including testimony of qualified expert witnesses, that the continued custody of the child by the parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child. 25 U.S.C. § 1912(d) and (e) (1998) (emphasis added). [2] ¶ 17 Section 1912(d) of the ICWA requires that active efforts be made to provide remedial services and rehabilitation programs to prevent the breakup of the family. At the show cause hearing, Department social workers testified that they had not met the father nor had any form of contact with him. They testified that the only contact they did have with the family was with the mother, the children, the maternal grandmother, and the paternal grandfather. The father testified that he had not met any of the Department social workers. The father **992 could not have been offered remedial or rehabilitative services if the Department had not had any contact with him. Therefore, the requirement that remedial or rehabilitative services be provided to prevent the breakup of the family was not met. [3] ¶ 18 The father and Tribe also argue that the qualified expert witness requirement of the ICWA was not satisfied. The only testimony presented at the show cause hearing was from two Department social workers and the children's father. The father and the Tribe contend that social workers are not experts. We have concluded that it is possible for a social worker to be an expert witness, but that in ICWA cases, special Department of Interior guidelines exist that should be considered when deciding whether the expert is qualified. See In re M.E.M. (1981), 195 Mont. 329, 336-37, 635 P.2d 1313, 1317-18. In In re M.E.M., we did not decide whether it was error to admit the testimony *92 of the social worker as expert testimony. We did, however, conclude that: In deciding whether there is proper foundation for an expert opinion, the trial court should consider the Department of Interior guidelines which provide: "b. Persons with the following characteristics are most likely to meet the requirements for a qualified expert witness for purposes of Indian child custody proceedings: "(i) A member of the Indian child's tribe who is recognized by the tribal community as knowledgeable in tribal customs as they pertain to family organization and childrearing practices. "(ii) A lay expert witness having substantial experience in the delivery of child and family services to Indians, and extensive knowledge of prevailing social and cultural standards and childrearing practices within the Indian child's tribe. "(iii) A professional person having substantial education and experience in the area of his or her specialty." 44 Fed.Reg. 67593 (1979). In re M.E.M., 195 Mont. at 336-37, 635 P.2d at 1317-18. There is no indication in the record that the Department of Interior guidelines were considered. Nor do we find from our review of the record any other foundation which would qualify either of the social workers as experts pursuant to the ICWA. As a result, the qualified expert witness requirement of the ICWA was not met. [4] ¶ 19 In order for courts to grant TIA petitions when Indian children are involved, the requirements of the ICWA must be met. The requirements of the ICWA, 25 U.S.C. § 1912(d) and (e), were not satisfied in this case. Therefore, we conclude that the District Court could not have granted temporary investigative authority even if it had reviewed the guardianship file, and its failure to do so, if erroneous, was harmless. ISSUE 2 ¶ 20 Did the District Court exceed its authority when it ordered the Department to deliver M.P.M. and A.R.M. to their father's custody after the court had dismissed the TIA petition? ¶ 21 The Department contends that the District Court lacked the authority to order the Department to return M.P.M. and A.R.M. to the custody of their father. The Department argues that because the petition for TIA was dismissed, the Department was not authorized to act *93 on behalf of the children. Therefore, the District Court could not order the Department to turn the children over to the custody of their father. The Department further argues that upon dismissal of the petition for TIA, the matter then became one involving a custodial issue over which neither the Department nor the court had authority. Section 41-3-403, MCA, establishes the procedures required once the petition for TIA and protective services is filed, and delineates what relief the court may grant when it determines that the protection of youths is required. It does not address what occurs upon the dismissal of a petition for TIA. [5] ¶ 22 The only statutory provision discussing post-dismissal procedures is § 41-3-404(4)(a), MCA, entitled "Adjudicatory hearing--temporary disposition." Section 41-3-404(4)(a), MCA, provides: "If the court determines that the youth is not an abused **993 or neglected child, the petition must be dismissed and any order made pursuant to 41-3-403 must be vacated." In this case, the orders made pursuant to § 41-3-403, MCA, granted the Department the authority to place the children in protective placement between the time of filing the petition for TIA and the show cause hearing. During that time, however, the Department did not place the children because they were already with their maternal grandmother. Therefore, when the District Court vacated the orders issued following the filing of the petition for TIA, as required by § 41-3-404(2), MCA, it did not have the authority to order the Department to place the children with their father. Nowhere in the statutory framework is the District Court authorized to grant the Department the authority to place the children with one parent as opposed to the other following dismissal of the petition for TIA. ¶ 23 We have stated in the past that "[i]n determining legislative intent, an express mention of a certain power or authority implies the exclusion of nondescribed powers." See State ex rel. Jones v. Giles (1975), 168 Mont. 130, 133, 541 P.2d 355, 357 (citing Reed v. Reed (1956), 130 Mont. 409, 304 P.2d 590). The Legislature has adopted the methods by which courts may grant the Department the authority to act. Courts cannot authorize the Department to act where such authority has not been legislatively granted. See Reed, 130 Mont. at 414, 304 P.2d at 592. To do so would, in effect, act as a judicial amendment to the child abuse and neglect statutes, and "such authority has not been committed to us." See Reed, 130 Mont. at 414, 304 P.2d at 592. ¶ 24 We conclude that the District Court exceeded its authority when it ordered that the children be turned over to the custody of *94 their father after dismissing the petition for TIA. The judgment of the District Court by which it ordered the Department to return the children to the custody of their father is reversed. The District Court's dismissal of the petition for TIA is affirmed. J.A. TURNAGE, C.J., and WILLIAM E. HUNT, SR., JIM REGNIER, JAMES C. NELSON, and W. WILLIAM LEAPHART, JJ., concur. Justice KARLA M. GRAY, concurring in part and dissenting in part. ¶ 25 I concur in the Court's opinion on issue one, but respectfully dissent from that opinion on issue two. ¶ 26 My problem with issue two does not relate to the Court's legal analysis of the issue presented by the Department. The problem, however, is that the Department did not file a notice of cross-appeal pursuant to Rule 5(a)(3), M.R.App.P., in order to raise the question of the District Court's authority to order the Department to return the children to their father. Therefore, that issue is not properly before us, we have no jurisdiction to entertain it and I dissent from the Court's decision to do so. |

Long Range Acoustic Device
The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), also known as a sound cannon, is an acoustic hailing device and sonic weapon developed by LRAD Corporation to send messages, warnings, and harmful, pain-inducing tones over longer distances than normal loudspeakers. LRAD systems have been used to counter piracy, as non-lethal crowd control weapons, and as communication devices.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the systems weigh from 15 to 320 pounds (6.8 to 145.1 kg) and can emit sound in a 30° beam at 2.5 kHz.[1]
LRAD systems are used by maritime, law enforcement, military and commercial security companies to send instructions and warnings over distances, and to force compliance. LRAD is also used to deter wildlife from airport runways, wind and solar farms, nuclear power facilities, mining and agricultural operations and other industrial facilities.
The parameter "ka", which is the wave number multiplied by the speaker radius, is often used to characterize sound source directivity. For this source, ka=19 at 2.5 kHz, and according to the LRAD data sheet, the beam angle of about 30 degrees total is precisely what is predicted for a regular loudspeaker.[2]
Small spherical "point-source" acoustic devices follow the known inverse square law, which predicts the loss of 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source, solely due to geometric spreading. Large speakers (or large arrays), such as these, have an interference pattern in the nearfield which produces peaks 6 dB higher than the output pressure and nulls where the pressure is essentially zero.[3] The larger the speaker, and the higher the frequency, the longer the effective nearfield. The nearfield for this device is approximately 8m.[3]
LRAD Corporation was formerly named American Technology Corporation. In 2004, Carl Gruenler, a former vice president of military and government operations for American Technology Corporation said that being within 100 metres (330 ft) of the LRAD is extremely painful, and that it was designed for use in short bursts at 300 metres (980 ft), to give targeted people a headache. He said that "you definitely don't want to be" within 100 m; and, that the device will cause permanent auditory damage.[4] LRAD officials deny such common uses, claiming that the device is not a weapon, rather it is a "directed sound communications system".[5] After LRAD devices were used during the 2009 G-20 Pittsburgh summit, American comedian Jon Stewart lampooned the supposed harmful effect of LRAD's deterrent tone on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart by putting his fingers in his ears.[6]
Against protesters[edit]
An LRAD was at protests of the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City[7] but not used.
LRAD was used to disperse opposition protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, in November 2007.[8]
Local residents of Dusit in Bangkok witnessed it in use during protests of Triumph factory employees against dismissals on August 28, 2009.[9]
In 2009, the government of Honduras used LRAD on at least two occasions, on September 22 and 25, on those seeking refuge in the Brazilian embassy. In addition to embassy staff, these included the deposed president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, his family, and some supporters and journalists. In a photo,[10] there are two LRAD models, the LRAD 1000 (or 1000X[11] or 1000Xi) and the LRAD 100X.[12] Israel was accused of supplying these devices,[13]
LRADs were used by the Pittsburgh PD during protests at the G20 Summit in September 2009. This was the first time it was used against protesters in the U.S.[14][15]
Israel's Ministry of Defense ordered LRADs in June 2011.[16]
LRAD was reportedly[17] used by the Oakland Police Department during the clearance of the Occupy Oakland encampment on the morning of 25 October 2011.
LRAD was present, but not used, when the New York City Police department cleared Occupy Wall Street protestors from Zuccotti Park on the morning of 15 November 2011.[18] Two days later it was reportedly used briefly against Occupy Wall Street protesters.[19][20]
The Delhi Police are purchasing 5 LRADs for crowd control [21] while the Polish Police also acquired LRAD units in December 2010.[22]
LRAD was present, but not used because of current legal regulations during protests in Poland, including Million Marijuana March 2011 and Marsz Niepodległości (National Independence Day March) 2011 and 2012. Lacking a way to utilize the LRADs purchased to their full potential sparked an investigation suspecting corruption behind their acquisition. National Police Headquarters spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski defended the purchase of LRAD. He also stressed that the police decided to make this investment because, "We needed good sound reinforcement equipment. With numerous demonstrations and gatherings, police need a public address system that allows you to reach thousands of people."[23]
LRAD was deployed during a NATO march on May 20, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois at Michigan Ave. & Cermack.[24]
A portable LRAD was used in an unsuccessful attempt to disperse protesters in the capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin on July 18, 2013.[25] The same LRAD was used by police to issue a warning before subsequently arresting several protesters on August 13, 2013.[26]
The Salisbury, MD Police Department acquired an LRAD in October 2013 with proceeds from their speed cameras.[27]
The Hong Kong Police Force acquired four LRADs to convey important messages over a long range in a noisy environment, in a bid to preserve public safety, public order and prevent injury to life and property.[28]
17 January 2014 an LRAD was used by police against protesters in Barcelona, Spain. [29]
18 July 2014 an LRAD was used by police against people protesting mass water shut-offs in the city of Detroit. [30]
13, 18 August 2014 St. Louis County police used LRAD against protestors demonstrating the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.[31] Amnesty International criticized the use of LRAD against protesters and members of their delegation at Ferguson, who "reported feeling nauseous from the noise", and that "LRADs can pose a serious health risks which range from temporary pain, loss of balance and eardrum rupture, to permanent hearing damage."[32] Reporter Mike Tobin commented while broadcasting from Ferguson, MO on 18 August, "It doesn't have the effect of crippling people. It's just loud, it's annoying, it lets you know something big and official is coming and that's what's happening now. They can also use it as a loudspeaker to tell people to get out of the way."[33]
A portable LRAD was used by the New York Police Department on 28 November 2014 against protesters demonstrating on Black Friday outside of Macy's in Herald Square in Manhattan.[34]
A portable LRAD was visible on a police vehicle during the 3 December 2014 protests against the non-indictment in the police chokehold death of Eric Garner [35] and again at approximately 1:30 a.m. on 4 December 2014 during the second night of protests. A portable LRAD was used by the New York Police Department in the early morning hours of 5 December 2014 against protesters demonstrating in Midtown Manhattan.[36]
Against pirates[edit]
On November 5, 2005, the luxury cruise ship Seabourn Spirit employed an LRAD while repelling pirates who attacked the vessel with rocket-propelled grenades about 115 km off the coast of Somalia.[37][38] The effectiveness of this device during the attack is not completely clear, but the pirates did not succeed in boarding the vessel and eventually fled.
The Liberian vessel MV Biscaglia was attacked on November 28, 2008. The security detachment aboard Biscaglia claimed to have used an LRAD device in an effort to repel attackers armed with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. Following a one-sided shootout, the ship was seized and the unarmed security contractors abandoned ship leaving the ship and crew to the pirates.[39] The incident caused the usefulness of LRADs to be called into question by Lloyd's List.[40] In August 2013, Carl "Rocky" Mason, one of the three members of the security attachment aboard the Biscaglia during the incident, stated that an LRAD was aboard, but that he and the security attachment only had time to open the water cannons before gunfire and an RPG round forced them to abandon ship. No attempt was made to use the LRAD device during the incident.[41]
In January 2011, the Spirit of Adventure, a cruise ship sailing through the Indian Ocean, deployed an LRAD system as part of its defensive measures when being pursued by pirates.[42]
London Olympics 2012[edit]
It was confirmed by the Ministry of Defence on May 11, 2012 that an LRAD would be deployed in London during the Olympics. It was spotted fixed to a landing craft on the Thames.[43]
In February 2009, the Japanese whaling fleet operating in Antarctic waters near Australia installed LRADs on their vessels. The device was used against activists of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.[44] The Japanese fleet later escalated the use of LRAD, deploying it against a Sea Shepherd helicopter carrying a camera crew.[45][46] Sea Shepherd noted that they had an LRAD of their own, but as of early 2010, had not put it into use[47] other than to play a recording of "Ride of the Valkyries" in the manner of attacking U.S. Army helicopters depicted in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now.[48]
The loud sounds the LRAD emits may cause permanent hearing damage to those within its range. The LRAD sound wave can be cancelled altogether through the use of common earplugs. The better the earplugs are at blocking sound waves, the less effective the LRAD is. Sounds emitted from the LRAD can be reflected back to the source by using a flat solid object.[citation needed]

Creating A Distribution List For Microsoft Exchange
The following article will demonstrate how to setup a Distribution List with Microsoft Exchange. A Distribution List can be used to add members of your domain (and contacts) to one exclusive email address. When an email is sent to that Distribution List the email is automatically sent out to all members of that list. Let's take a look at how to set this up:
1. First thing you'll want to do is select Manage Distribution Lists in the Microsoft Exchange box.
Note: If you have multiple domains you may be prompted to select a domain name.
2. In the next screen select Add distribution List.
3. Next give your Distribution List a Display name and a unique Email address, then select All Users. A list of members (and contacts) will be available to choose from; check the box on the left-hand side of the users you want to be part of the list and then select Save.

I have had AutoCAD Electrical 2013 now for about 3 months and have been working heavily in customizing the circuit builder for my department. I may be missing something very obvious, but is there a way to call a lisp routine inside of circuit builder? I have a few that are loading in my acaddoc, and I was under the impression that using the c:ace_cb_eval in circuit builder would allow me to call these in, but no matter how I try I haven't managed to make one work. Any suggestions?
your understanding is right. The c:ace_cb_eval allows you to call Lisp within Circuit Builder. If you want to upload your lisp file and Circuit Builder spreadsheet I can take a look at it. Please include details as far as what the Lisp file should do, what circuit to build to try it, and any library symbols that are needed to generate the circuit. If any of the information is proprietary you can email it directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I really appreciate that, but I did find a work around last week for that little bit of LISP, I just ended up making another set of templates and re-ordering things to make my lines connect the way I wanted. I realized a lot of my problem had to do with the way I was ordering things. Thank you again for taking time to answer me and offering to look at it!
glad you worked it out. Yes, order can be very important in Circuit Builder. If you do try some lisp functions in the future, the most common issue is the misuse of single and double quotes. It can take some trial and error to get it all right. Also, you need to make sure the .lsp files load automatically. Circuit Builder does not load them. So I always suggest adding them to the Startup using the APPLOAD command.

What is dimensioal adhesive?
Thanks... |

Hi Leveta, I was waiting for a adhesive expert to answer you, but no one has so I will take a shot! I believe tht dimensional adhesive has some extra thickness to it and isn't as runny as some glues, so that it can hold down things that are not flat, like beads etc. I think it is also used to add dimension to flat things. kathy |
Hi concretenprimroses, thanks for your response. I was looking up broken china jew. And one of the sites talked about useing that instead of sodering... I just wondered how it worked compared to sodering. Thought maybe someone has used it before...Again Thanks... |

There will be a season 3.. they can't count to two and end it. That would be horrible! and that would kill me.
You know, I actually want Telltale to milk TWD for every drop it can. I bought 400 Days without hesitation.
Good god, do I want a Season 3. Maybe TTG could take into account the feedback they got from Season 2 (need longer episodes, more character development, hubs) and put that in a Season 3 so it could be even more awesome.
Just 3 Seasons, I'll be happy.
Just 2 Seasons, I'll be dissatisfied.
Like in Season 1, where you could walk around and talk to characters, examine items and stuff. They had a really small hub in Episode 3 where you got to look around the yard.
ooooh true i noticed that. I noticed in S2 i didn't have much "personal play time" thats what i call it lol. and my choices didn't really affect any of the gameplay... -_-
I taught there would've been confirmation to this in this thread, but well, I'm sure there will be season 3.
I'd love for a season 3, so badly! I LIVE AND BREATHE FOR A SEASON 3 SO I CAN SEE CLEMMY GROW UP AND BE A NINJA! T.T
And I'd like a DLC too...maybe one where I can play as the Luke in some silly side story thingy. I would like some Luke, I'd do anything to play as the Luke! ANYTHING!
Season 3 or DLC, I don't care! Take my money! Take it all!

Experience the joy and upliftment that comes when we meditate together as women of power, grace, and majesty.
Each year, we choose a different meditation for our daily morning practice, separate from our group sadhana . We choose mediations that Yogi Bhajan specifically taught for women, that you might not get to practice regularly in your daily life.
The 2014 All-Camp Meditation
Posture: Sit in easy pose with a straight spine.
Me Within Me Is the Purity.
Me Within Me Is the Reality.
Me Within Me Is the Grace.
I Am the Master of the Space.
Listen carefully as you chant.
Mudra: Interlace the hands in Venus Lock in front of the heart center with the elbows relaxed down.
Focus: The eyes are closed.
Time: Continue for 11 minutes.
End: Inhale deeply, hold the breath and tighten every fiber of the body in alignment with that purity. Then exhale. Repeat once more. Then inhale deeply, exhale and relax.
Comments: Practicing this meditation powerfully affirms our purity, grace, and mastery, and thereby affirms our worthiness to receive. This is an affirmation to hold in consciousness as a guideline for our lives.
*from Yoga for Prosperity by Siri Kirpal Kaur Khalsa, page 50

Customize this letter and provide to Faithful Journeys parents well ahead of the children's Magic Month presentation to the congregation.
Dear Parents,
In Faithful Journeys, we have been discussing magic as a pagan spiritual practice that combines energy, focus, and intention to effect positive change. We would like to involve the congregation in spreading magic in our local community by practicing random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty by proclaiming our own Magic Month in (insert month).
The children will present Magic Month to the congregation (insert date, place and time). Please bring your child a half hour early so we can practice our presentation together.
You can also help by completing some homework by (insert the deadline): Make a family plan for an action you can take during Magic Month. Be sure to involve your Faithful Journeys child in the planning and have them practice explaining it briefly. Your child will have the opportunity to present your family plan during our group presentation.
These ideas may help you choose an action for your family to do:
We hope you and your family will be creative, have fun, and most importantly, help us create magic in our community.
In Faith,
(Co-leader names and contact information)

Review this carBy Jt on Wednesday, January 12, 2011
overall rating 9 of 10rating details
"I've had my 1990 for over 10 years. It has been a great ride and a ton of fun. It's got the old school Porsche look that is so recognizable but with dual air bags, power everything, and the coolest deployable spoiler on any Porsche. It comes up at 50mph which means u won't get a speeding ticket just to get some additional air cooling or a little downdraft for pressure on those rear wheels. This car is the pinnacle of German engineering and in this writers opinion represents the best of the air cooled Porsche line. Much better looking than the 993 series that followed. If you are in the market for one, just look for a decent service history and u can rely on a bullet proof engine to push you around corners at speed. People stop me all the ti e to compliment my car and express disbelief that it's over 20 years old. Still turns heads."

"I'm the third owner of my '85 Targa Carrera. I've owned it now for about 10 years, and it's still a blast to drive. It's plenty fast, and handles exceptionally well. My only complaint is the balky shifter, that requires a pause, esp. from 2-3. Downshifting requires a deft touch as well.The associated wind noises and leaks from the Targa top are well known, and mine is certainly no exception. Still, I love this car, and drive it year round."

"After a lot of research, I bought my 1994 911 C2 Cab three months ago. It has been a dream, completely trouble-free and seriously fast. 964's got a bad rap early on due to oil leaks from gasketless cyl heads and dual-mass flywheel and distributor belt issues. However, by the 1994 model year all those issues were resolved...making the 1994 964 the most reliable of all 911's-- including later 993 (valve guide and electronics issues) thru the current 997 (rms and bearing issues) generations. Performance is outstanding with 0-60 times in the 5 sec range, handling is suberb, steering response/feel is not quite as immediate as earlier generation cars, but strikes a great balance between being relaxed and yet precise-- in no way as numb as the 993-up generations, you will still get plenty of "911 thrill" driving this one, yet with almost all the early end-swapping issues halfway thru the corner dialed out. While styling is subjective, I love that this one still looks like a classic 911 with the pronounced front "humps"...sexy. All this can be had now in the 20k range, for a car costing 75k new....if you are looking for a great way to break in to the 911 market, fantastic looks and performance, and a 911 right at the beginning of becoming a classic, look no further than the 1994 964!!"

"I have three (73, 90 96 turbo) and had one that flipped (91). I have driven them all up and down California, and have never broken down - never. Can't say that for any other car I have had. I love driving this up big sur. Around the twists and turns, the cars are great. The turbo can get away from you without caution. The turbo also has suspension modifications which are plentiful for these cars, and a horsepower boost (like it needs it). Great fun, but easy to get tickets. I would even recommend this for a woman. My 16 yr old daughter drove one with a tiptronic trans, non turbo, convertible that was great. A little low to the ground, but it was fine. She putted to school in it, blonde hair flying, and had a blast since we live in a hilly place with lots of turns. The car never broke down, even with 190,000 miles on it. Buy and enjoy. A little pricey, but hey - you only live once :)"

Item Description
Excellent little floor standers, with very high "wife acceptance factor," even if that is not so politically correct to say. Our new, smaller house just has fewer rooms that need speakers (see other listing for ProAc Response 2's). These Daline 3's have had the tweeters upgraded (replaced) with Focal (trioxid? beryllium?) tweeters for even sweeter highs. Surprising bass for a slender cabinet due to transmission-line design. Come audition them if you're in NJ. Will deliver to NJ and NYC. Shipping is possible but will probably add too much cost to make them a good deal. Paypal add 3%.

Did Nike Really Gain From Tiger Woods' Scandal, as the Numbers Suggest? Last Updated Dec 14, 2010 8:38 PM EST From a financial point of view, Nike (NKE) was right to stick by Tiger Woods despite the scandal that enveloped him in 2009, but the fascinating new study that makes this case also suggests that when brands encounter controversy they ought to destroy the village in order to save it, so to speak.
That can't be right. Trading card company Upper Deck says it stands by Tiger. By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY Trading card company Upper Deck said it "Stands by Tiger Woods" in a statement released Tuesday.
Woods has served as an exclusive spokesman and autograph signer for Upper Deck since 2001. AT&T ends Tiger Woods sponsorship. Tiger Woods tees off in 2007 during the AT&T Earl Woods Memorial Pro-Am golf tournament at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.

Accenture drops Tiger Woods: 'No longer the right rep' EA Sports Keeping Tiger Woods As Face Of Franchise. Tiger Woods, Tag Heuer Split: Golfer Loses Luxury Watch Maker As Corporate Sponsor. If Tiger Woods' struggles at Bridgestone weren't enough for him to worry about, he may need to find time to make another Japanese heat rub commercial.
Luxury watch maker Tag Heuer has ended its sponsorship deal with the struggling golfer, according to Golf World executive editor Ron Sirak. "Tiger's agent confirms Woods' Tag Heuer relationship has expired," Sirak tweeted Friday evening. Buick hasn't been missing Tiger Woods - Burns on Business.

Ebenhack, File Tiger Woods helped to launch the Gillette Fusion Power Gamer razor during the Gillette-EA SPORTS Champions of Gaming Finals in Orlando, Fla. In February 2009. By Johnny Diaz, Globe Staff. Gatorade Drops Tiger Woods Drink. Tiger Woods' auto accident at his Florida mansion in the wee hours of the morning after Thanksgiving touched off touched off a media frenzy around the superstar golfer's carefully guarded private life, with numerous women coming forward claiming to have had a sexual relationship with him. Before that, the married father of two young children had a pristine image and raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsements.
And, while most of Woods' sponsors continue to stand by him, a major one is pulling the plug on a Woods-related product. Tiger Woods' Cheating Scandal: How Will It Affect His Endorsements? Tiger Woods has never shanked a drive this badly in his life.
First, Tiger was challenged by the outlandish accusations of the National Enquirer, then came the suspicious single-car accident early on Friday morning, and now reports in US Weekly of another affair have put Tiger in some of the deepest rough he has ever stumbled upon. The last encounter proved to be the tipping point for Woods, who released another statement this afternoon. In light of his most recent comments, in which he apologized to his family for any wrongdoings, one must begin to wonder if the lucrative sponsorship deals that made him the world's first athlete to amass $1 billion will be affected by the drama of this situation.

General Assembly 2008 Event 5018
Speakers: Jyaphia Christos Rodgers, Terry Van Brunt, Rev. Melanie Morel-Ensminger, Rev. Jim VanderWeele
It should not take a hurricane to bring us together! That's the lesson from New Orleans.
The people of New Orleans divide the span of time into two eras: pre-K and post-K, or pre- and post-Katrina for the long-winded. Pre-K, there were three Unitarian Universalist (UU) churches that mostly ignored each other: First UU Church of New Orleans, Community Church UU, and North Shore UU Society. Now, they are a cluster: Greater New Orleans Unitarian Universalists (GNOUU) also sometimes referred to as Getting to kNow yOUU. They have not only come to know one another, now they appreciate and inspire one another! Every year, on the anniversary of Katrina, they gather for a service similar to Seder.
They give a grateful "shout out" of thanks to their Southwestern District Executive, Rev. Susan Smith, to the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), to the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), and to many others. They have received much help from donors and volunteers. But it's not over yet! There is still much to be done. So far, they have raised 28% of the $2.7 million they need.
The GNOUU cluster of churches is working to provide affordable housing, space for community organizations, affordable child care, programs for both youth and seniors, and food for those in need. With few grocery stores open and locally grown food in shorter supply, there are holes in the food-system net.
Fortunately, they managed to collaborate with the AIDS task force that had kitchen equipment but no place to put it. GNOUU had the space but no equipment. It was a perfect match. Together, they bring 800 meals per week to persons living with HIV/AIDS. "It's all about people working together!" said Jyaphia Christos Rodgers.
"Food, family, and fun!" declared diva-chef Jyaphia; that is the New-Orleans way. There are programs that focus on service, education, justice making, and partnership with engaged community organizations. Together with the Executive Director of the New Orleans Rebirth Volunteer Program, Quo Vadis G. Breaux, she promises radical hospitality to volunteers. For information email Quo Vadis at uukatrina @ uusc.org or go to the GNOUU website.
Though the plight of New Orleans has fallen off the national radar screen, the leaders of GNOUU want everyone to know: they are alive, but it's not over yet. Nevertheless, if you visit New Orleans, you will find a great group of people in a great city.

Dear Friends,
I hope you know how much we admire you already and look forward to getting to know you better. Until then, we'd like to introduce ourselves!
How We Met
Daniel and I met at a college church activity on the 4th of July over nine years ago. I often joke that the day we met there were fireworks. We hit it off immediately and after six months, we were married. I know that God intended Daniel to be my husband and I am grateful everyday that we were blessed to be sealed for eternity in the temple.
Education and Work
Daniel has always loved books. One summer when he was young, his parents promised him a penny for every page he read. He soon made them regret that challenge! He absorbs information like a sponge and regularly surprises me with his ability to recall the slightest details from books he read years ago. Daniel has his Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Literature and his Masters in Library and Information Science. He loves his job, working as a librarian at our local city library.
My passion is photography. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and I am working on starting a small business specializing in portrait and event photography. I love the challenge of helping people be who they really are in front of the camera. A lot of the time that requires some goofiness on my part, but I love a good excuse to be silly! I am fortunate that this career will allow me to keep a flexible schedule to take the years I want to focus on my young children, when that time comes.
We enjoy spending our free time at home. Daniel makes use of the video games he gets from work (he loves puzzle games especially) or reading science fiction or fantasy novels. I like to keep myself busy editing photographs, doing various crafts, or improving our home. We like go to the occasional local baseball game or movie, and we tend to keep our activities low key. We like to spend our vacation time camping or visiting with family, even better if it's both.
Daniel has a few regular activities he participates in, including attending a regular drawing group and leading his friends in a regular tabletop role-playing game. I attend a small writing group and a monthly book club. These outlets give us some time to spend with people we love and feed our individual creativity and talents. These activities have also enriched our marriage because we always have something new to share besides the usual "how was your day".
Adoption and Parenthood
We have talked about adopting since we were engaged and agreed that it was something we wanted for our family. After several years of trying to have biological children, we discovered that adoption was God's plan for us, too. We are excited to have the opportunity to build our family this way and are grateful to have the support of our family and friends as we travel this journey.
Daniel and I are eagerly looking forward to parenthood. Daniel is looking forward to having a buddy to play Pokemon with and have someone to teach to draw. He is a whiz at getting little ones at church to calm down and soothe them to sleep. I know that will come in handy when we have children. I look forward to messy art projects and discovery walks where I can watch my child take in the world. We look forward to reading stories and singing silly songs. We want to see our kids grow learning and discovering what they are talented at and what they love, helping them pursue their dreams. We hope they choose to go to college and discover even greater depths to their natural talents and abilities, but hope to guide them toward paths that will lead them to happiness no matter what they decide. We know that being parents will have its share of challenges, but we are so excited to expand our little family and share all the love we have in our hearts.
If there is anything I want you to know about us, though, it is that Daniel and I have a strong testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am a convert to the church, but grew up with an unfailing witness that our Savior knew me and loved me. At the age of fourteen I learned about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the help of good friends and after four years of prayer and study, I was baptized. Daniel grew up in the church, his parents both faithful members. He has a faith and perspective that have strengthened me as we have met challenges and obstacles. We both have strong testimonies that keep us seeking to improve ourselves and inspire us to serve those around us. We look forward to nurturing our children in the gospel and supporting them as they develop their own testimony.
I hope that as you navigate these next challenging months that you will feel the arms of heaven bearing you up and feel the support of loved ones who admire you for your strength, as we do.
Christy and Daniel

"Amazing recipe! A few minor changes as I couldn't find any lemon grass. I used chopped onion sprouts in the marinade and drained it through a sieve before marinating. I added 1 TBSP of mayo to the stuffing to help bind it. Also, the author has STEAKS and FILLETS confused - I used steaks, and the result was absolutely fantastic!"
"I did this up in a crock-pot with all of the spices per the recipe, and then cooked off the liquid in a skillet when I got home.I served it on warm tortillas with frijoles, cheese, guacamole, and/or sour cream. It was very tasty with the citrus flavors and I'll make it again, but next time I'll probably toss in a few jalapenos for a little more h..."

Life has become much easier and simple with science and technology. Gone are the days when you could only do limited experimentation with your photographs and photography skills if you posses any. Earlier taking photographs meant paying huge amount of money. But today's modern devices have helped us to create an easy living and had done immense for us. Digital Photo Printing is one such innovation because it gives you much satisfaction than the initial methods. Modern photography allows you to take as many pictures you want. In the past it had many limitations. One of the most important features that we didn't had before is to get a clear picture of the captured momentDigital cameras have become very popular over the last few years. For more information visit at hbcreativesf.com.
When printing digital photos you have a choice between matte and glossy photo prints. Glossy photo prints have a shiny finish while matte ones have a more subtle neutral one. So which one should you choose? There is no right answer there are pros and cons to both.
Matte and glossy are two different finishes to the photo paper digital photos are printed on. Using different chemicals and processes photo paper can have a glossy or a matte finish. Glossy finish looks shiny, reflects light very well and looks vibrant and color rich. Matte finish on the other hand does not reflect much light and looks "darker" and duller.
There are pros and cons to choosing either matter or glossy digital photoprints. Here are some of them:
Glossy photo prints: Glossy photo prints are shiny and are more appealing to the eye. They look fancy and convey a high quality feeling. Glossy photo prints have vibrant colors. Colors also look rich and deep on glossy photo prints. On the downside glossy photo prints "shiny" attribute can be a problem when photos are viewed using intense light sources such as daylight sun or strong light bulbs. Light reflected from the photo printcan blind the viewer making it hard to see the photo. Glossy paper is also more likely to attract dust and fingerprints and is thus more likely to get dirty over time. Black and white glossy photo prints do not look as good as matte ones.
Matte finish: Matte photo prints do not reflect light and are thus easier to view at almost any light condition. Matte photo prints are also less likely to attract dust and fingerprints and are less likely to get dirty over time. Black and white matte photo prints look better than black and white glossy photo prints.
Photos printed digitally look great, but canvas printing can turn them into stunning piece of artwork best suited to be displayed anywhere or to be given as a gift. Canvas print is an attractive way of displaying an image using canvas as the media and the best way to preserve your photograph.
How Canvas Prints are Created
After uploading a photo, you have to choose the style and size of the canvas print. A professional canvas printing service will do proper configuration of exact tone and color to make it appear more lifelike. If your photo requires restoration, it can be done by the printing company as well. These edits can be done with software editor. After customizing your photo, they will email the edited photo for your approval. A larger photo is then created on canvas by a high quality printer. Canvas is a heavy-duty plain-woven fabric widely-used by artists as a painting surface stretched across a wooden frame called a stretcher. The stretcher frame is a wooden skeleton for the canvas print. The canvas is wrapped around it and fastened. Matting, framing or glass covering is no longer required.
Benefits of Canvas Prints
Canvas is made from tightly woven cotton making it more resistant to ripping or tearing. It also has a texture that gives an artwork a rich and stunning look. Photo print to canvas makes an excellent and unique gift to someone on a special occasion and a stunning wall art. Favorite photos that were previously in an album can now be enlarged and converted to a canvas print to be shown-off to friends or guests. Canvas prints are a great way to preserve your memories. For a long lastingcanvas print, it is applied with coating against UV ray, water, fading, scratches and abrasions. If properly taken good care of, they can last up to a century. Having canvas prints are also economical since you don't need spend more money on expensive frame or glass covering. A need to buy fancy and expensive wall arts will also be eliminated. Most printing companies offer a return guarantee if you are not satisfied with the finished canvas print.
