I loved everything about the Opera Gardens Hotel. When I approached the front door it opened automatically and as I turned toward the front desk, this charming, helpful, and professional young man came out from an office door to great me. He left a small bottle of wine with a note in the room, which was gorgeous! High-end design yet ultimate comfort. Full kitchen too! The room service food (at least soup and salad) was superb! The breakfast buffet was top notch! I could walk to every plac - Anonymous
It was a great stay in Budapest - the hotel was absolutely great (from the large rooms to the spa) and I've found the staff very helpful (unlike a few other reviews I've read). The apartments are very well equipped and clean. Since it's located in the heart of Budapest there's a lot of things to do near the hotel and the closest metro station is a few hundred meters away. - Anonymous
New appartments, originally made for longer business stays, so you'll find everything that you need for a short or a long stay, even fully equiped kitchenette. The pool with the sauna in the building is very nice and cleen, with nice warm watter. Staff is friendly and location is great, few minutes walking from the opera house. They don't have room service during the stay, but we didn't really need it on our 3days stay. - Anonymous
the pools are awesome! - Anonymous
Friendly owner, she suggested places to see/visit and give city map/booklets. Apartment is large and clean. It has balcony/kitchen. It was possible park car for free in underground car parking. Hypermarket is just near apartment and metro/tram is ~ 10 minute walk. - Anonymous
The hotel was very elegant and well presented with a very impressive lobby. The concierge service was excellent, helped us book tickets for a boat cruise and recommended a restaurant that was excellent. There was live piano music in the evening in the lobby/bar area which made it really atmospheric and pleasant to have a drink there. Quality of the drinks was also very good. Rooms are very comfortable and everything looks new, but don't expect a lot of free space. Breakfast was excellent with a - Anonymous
everything was very good - Bryan
When we arrived we were told we were "Guests of the day" for theduration of our stay. We were upgraded to an apartment on the 5th floor,with breakfast and use of the exceutive lounge included for noadditional charge. The hotel is professional, modern and clean andeverything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. - Declan
helpfullness of the staff considering the low wages they get.As a solo traveller i felt very safe. - Irene
Modern hotel, that offers 4-star standard rooms, that are sufficiently equipped and comfortable. Nice view from the 12th floor, where you can find a spa and fitness area and the hotel bar. Free parking and free internet access even when using the computers in the lobby. Various breakfast. Almost unbeatable price-/performance ratio for the city of Budapest. - Anonymous
staff is young,fun and extremely helpful in just about anything...hotel is very new,modern,easy to get around inside,location is the best,right in the center of everything,even walking distance...restaurant is very hip,food is gourmet at affordable prices...there is even a garage in the basement and the rooms have balconies,which is usually rare in budapest hotels that are in the city center - Emese
The deluxe room had very nice furniture and bathroom, and not manyhotels in this price class offer possibility of private parking - Anonymous
I have been twice so far and for sure I will come again. Location near Basilica, but smartly hidden far from traffic, very clean, with exceptional stuff who are more than helpful. Salmon for breakfast, caffe macchiatto... and everything for small amount of money. Well done indeed. - Anonymous
Rooms very old and tired, not four star, but staff were really friendly and Brasserie very good. No firdge in room I was first allocated not good for four star, I complaned and they upgraded me. I would recommend this hotel but rooms are really not of the standard required. - Anonymous

What has been your experience growing this? I know it's a popular viburnum in the PNW. I am in zone 8, near Portland. I am concerned about any diseases and pests. Can it be pruned to control the width? I have about 12' to plant it in. Thank you! |

Other than a susceptibility to Verticillium wilt (as are many other plants), not much bothers the doublefile. Without a doubt one of the most striking shrubs when in flower! Normally I would not suggest to prune to control width - that very wide, layered branching is one of their premier attributes. But the cultivar 'Summer Snowflake' tends to have a very upright, less spreading habit and can be much more easily kept to a narrower width. Also blooms sporadically throughout summer rather than in one big blast like more traditional cultivars. |

Summer Snowflake looks very promising! Thanks for the suggestion. |
May starve out if nutrient levels not kept up, many local examples have poor foliage color. I had an old 'Mariesii' deteriorate when the bed was not being kept mulched like in the past; fertilization produced a marked but temporary improvement - making it clear an onset of chronic infertility was the issue. When I have seen it growing wild here - perhaps having spread from cultivation via birds - it was in a deciduous woodland on a river bench, where the soil would both have been fertilized by the river and by the fallen tree leaves. |

My in-laws had a beautiful one in their backyard along a creek and under Douglas firs. Do either of you know what the rate of growth is for these, especially Summer Snowflake? |

God, Money, and Politics
English Attitudes to Blindness and Touch, from the Enlightenment to Integration
Simon Hayhoe, Leicester Grammar School
Published 2008
Note: Author Simon Hayhoe was intervied on BBC Radio 4 in August, 2008. Click here for the transcript.
Our book examines the role of three factors, God, Money, and Politics, in the epistemological theory of blindness, (the theory of the construction of knowledge on blindness and touch by social and cultural change). This book also illustrates this development has, in the main, been motivated by an attempt to assert or gain power and why the study of blindness in conventional academic subjects such as psychology, history and sociology is so important. We do this by presenting the main theories of disability and blindness that have informed the writing of this book, and a frame of reference for the historical story. Which places the book in the broad context of theories of disability and blindness, within an academic and symbolic context of physical impairment and the social mythologies that accompany such understanding.
Acknowledgments 1 Introduction: From Enlightenment to Integration. 2 Definitions and the Early Studies of Blindness and Touch. 3 Modern Studies of Blindness and Touch. 4 Vocational Education in English Schools for the Blind. 5 Aesthetics and Touch in English Schools for the Blind. 6 Legal Integration in English Education. 7 Conclusion. Bibliography
"God, Money and Politics delivers what it promises in the title. The discussion of attitudes to blindness or, more accurately, visual impairments is divided into themes of religious, financial and political influences and their impact on cultural attitudes toward people with visual impairments. The reader is likely to finish the book understanding more about the considerable roles these factors have played in shaping social understandings of blindness and visual impairment." Alison Wilde

The first look of Freida Pinto's film Trishna, based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles, is out and getting rave reviews.
Trishna tells the story of one woman whose life is destroyed by a combination of love and circumstances. Set in contemporary Rajasthan, Trishna ( Freida Pinto) meets a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh ( Riz Ahmed) who has come to India to work in his father's hotel business. After an accident destroys her father's Jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love.
But despite their feelings for each other, they cannot escape the conflicting pressures of a rural society which is changing rapidly through industrialisation, urbanisation and, above all, education. Trishna's tragedy is that she is torn between the traditions of her family life and the dreams and ambitions that her education has given her. What's more the music has been composed by Amit Trivedi.

BHUBANESWAR: Chief minister Naveen Patnaik injured his right foot during a morning walk in his residence here on Thursday. Doctors attending on him said Naveen has affected his ligament and advised rest.
The chief minister was walking in the garden inside Naveen Niwas around 6.45 am, when he slipped and fell down near the gate, official sources said. "Doctors checked the chief minister and through x-ray it was revealed that the ligament in his right ankle has been affected," an official release added. Doctors have put a crepe bandage around the injured area and advised Naveen to avoid movement, sources said.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon, Apollo Hospital, Dr Smarajit Patnaik said the chief minister has strained the ligament on his right foot. "We would do further evaluation to ascertain the extent of injury," he said, replying to a query on how long Naveen would have to take rest.
Planning and coordination minister A U Singhdeo, a close friend of Naveen, said the chief minister would need two to three days' rest.
Naveen did not visit the state secretariat but attended to official work from home, an official release said. His programme in Angul on Friday was postponed, it added. "The chief minister will be working from his residence and scheduled official meeting will be held there," it further said.
During the day, Naveen met BJD leaders from Kendrapada, including energy minister Atanu Sabyasachi and MP Baijayant Panda, who had come to meet him following the ruling party's triumph in the Kendrapada municipality elections.

Ladies and Gents, I've been wondering if the military or veteran community wanted to really get into the competitive team brackets of LoL. It was an idea I had last night watching the finals, and it makes sense to seek out those who are already used to working in/as a team. Let me know what you think! Revenantninja is my SN in game, feel free to add me! Former US Navy Corpsman, HM3 (FMF) EDIT: Ladies and Gentlemen, I just finished the bulk of the forums and it's up for use immediately. The URL is http://usmvgc.team-talk.net/ Please register and start collaborating with others in the military community. The more people that contribute, the more that will come. So start up your teams, start the recruitment and discussions! The only rule that will be heavily enforced within the forum is that you be respectful to one another, please no "trolling" or behavior unbecoming of military persons. I will be taking suggestions on all aspects of the forum and shall post the URL when completed. If you want other games added other than LoL please don't hesitate to ask, and spread the word to your friends!

The program on the drone that receives the commands on the serial channel needs to issue a AT*PCMD and AT*REF at 25 Hz minimum to the drone software. Here you would also benefit if you use your own command packet and translate it to an AT command on the drone. If you transfer binary Navdata and take out tag 16 (120 bytes all 0), you'll have to transfer 172 bytes at 15 Hz which requires a 25800 baud link, your closest choice is 38400 baud, so the answer to your question is: it depends on what you do. |

Intermittent startup problem
Wondering if anybody has experienced this: On start up, mirumod's green LED seems to complete all the right flashes but at the end, instead of flashing ardrone's LEDs it just switches the LEDa to solid red and then switches the bottom LED to red. The arduino's green LED then stop for a short moment and then slow flashes - not the connected fast flash. I can usually get around that that by doing another restart, ie, disconnect and reconnect the battery. Sometimes it comes back at the 2nd or 3rd try. My record was 7 tries. I also tried the reset and/or pair buttons but doesn't seem to help. Eventually, it will start up OK. No problems when connecting to iTouch. I left it on the bench and try a start up once in a while without disturbing it. I tried quick or delayed battery disconnect/reconnect. So far, I was not able to spot any patterns. Here's a video taken with an iPhone showing the LED flash sequence.

I am new to the forum here! Hoepfully you can give me some support, cause I have a problem using Miru's software When I try to use the dsr008 or dsr009, I can see all channels are correctly working (when shorting pin 10). But when I fly the thing, everything works perfectly except the roll and pitch. It doesn't take a single command from my RC transmitter. It also seems the parrot cannot be set into flight mode 2 (unstabilized hover). It will always stabilize, no matter what (i test this by moving the plastic mat above which I am flying, it is following the movements in both FM's). Any idea where I am going wrong here? Using dsr003 does work on the drone. I tested version 008 on a brand new drone, just out of box, which flies great by phone. Hope you can help, i am getting desperate |

Since nothing I've so far seems to help, I then restored the sketch to the last working version - ie, pin9 active high and non-flashing. This seems to solved the problem. It has worked consistently for the last 5 power cycles. Wondering if the issue has something to do with the flashing pin9 or is it just simply a bad sketch load the last time. Here're pictures of my wire wrap vs soldered connections. Wire wrap: Soldered connection: So now this rx is committed to the mirumod ! |

F250 should handle the load very well.
Towed some pretty heavy boats with smaller vehicles, a 26ft IO with a bronco2, and I've moved the ariel with my explorer.
Decent brakes on the truck and trailer make it easy, loading the truck will help a great deal, move what you can from boat to truck. Wouldn't take either boat/truck combo on the freeway, and stayed away from high-traffic areas, but it can be done.
IF you decide against the pull, try talking to a mobile home setup company, they are well equipped for moving trailers, worked for one up in ceder springs and we moved boats all the time, one I remember was a 55 foot steel hulled river queen houseboat, huge load going down the road. If you have the permits, it'll save you a bit of cash, most setup companies charge like triple for the permits.

A specially corrupted JPEG tricks the program in to interpreting part of the JPEG as executable code. The OS treats that code as part of the exploited application, so it has the same priviledges. If you're logged in as Administrator, the exploit code now has admin rights to your PC.
For the techncally inclined, search for "smashing the stack for fun and profit", a classic article from Phrack on this type of exploit.
"Some viruses masquerade as images of pop singers"
Does this mean that website zith GD gallery (uploading of pic by users) are at risk. Anyone could post a JPEG with malicious code in the server, which will then spread to all users viewing the pic?
P.S. Sorry for the rant.
I haven't seen it being called a buffer overload, so it is probably doing something other than overlaying the executable code already in place.
The way that it works is that a person with malicious intent creates a special JPEG (let's call him Bart). This JPEG uses bugs inside the Microsoft dynamic link library to overflow a buffer. By taking advantage of this bug, Bart, can have code that he places into the JPEG execute. Since that code is running as you, it has whatever privileges you have and can do whatever you could do to the machine.
Only programs that use the dynamic link library to process the JPEG are vulnerable. However, virtually all of Microsoft's programs use this dynamic link library, so they are all vulnerable. Until you upgrade the dynamic link library on your machine, you are at severe risk.
Just viewing the malicious JPEG in IE will be enough that your machine will be compromised. Or in Outlook, or a variety of other programs.
It is critical that you patch every machine on your network, using both Windows Update and Office Update, as well as updating any other programs that use the DLL.
See these web sites for more information and locations to download patches: [microsoft.com...] and [microsoft.com...]
Knowing a file pattern to look for, I'm thinking that I can use PHP (which handles the file uploading) to scan the files for it making sure it is clean.
Thanks, Dwayne (who once again, without starting a flame fest, is glad he has a Mac).
Sure is...the AV program that server is running.
I work with Symantec here and there. Even though there is no real world code in existance....YET, they are catching this as Bloodhound.Exploit.13 via the hueristics scan.
Take care,
Perhaps this is where I am confused. On an ISP's LAMP architecture (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP) I have found no reference to virus scanning, as well, it is a Web server, not an e-mail server. Perhaps I am missing something, but my overall impression is that there is no reason to have virus scanning on a pure web server?
I think I see your point if the server is running e-mail and other services, but for a user-uploaded file, I am missing the link here.
If I am just totally out to lunch, let me know. Thanks, Dwayne
Guess I just assumed when users are allowed to upload from the wild that a scan would happen on that stream. My mistake. You guessed right I mainly do e-mail adminstration at the server level and AV. However the web farm, at our org., is not under my AV duties.
You're right about checking files uploaded from the wild, but, the checking now is done to ensure that it is a valid jpeg file (header check) and then, to be sure, there is some re-sizing done, so if it is not a jpeg, then well, the code returns a fail on the upload and it is never posted as a graphic.
In this new vulnerability, it is my impression that this virus is part of a valid jpeg, which is where my original query about the pattern matching comes in (which is what virus software does anyway right?). Just in this case, there is no AV software running on the web server, just the upload manager that ensures the files are valid jpegs.
Also, anyone know of a code chunk that can be scanned for to see if a jpeg contains this virus?
Thanks again for comments, Dwayne
Regards, R.

Stray Bullets I am very safety conscious about firearms so it concerns me if I do something wrong. I was raking leaves in the front yard last week. As I was shoveling them out of the gutter and into the trash can a 9mm cartridge rolls out of the pile. WTF! I pick it up and check and it looks like one of the reloads from my range. It was scared up like it had been getting kicked around and run over in the street or driveway. I had not shot my nine for a couple months so if it was from me it had been out there for awhile. I guess it fell out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car after a range trip. I have found rounds before in pockets or in gear bags that were strays and needed to get put back into the ammo cabinet. Once I even found a cartridge in the washing machine after I ran a load of my clothes. But finding that one in the street really made me think about being more careful. So has anyone else had strays show up in strange places?

Are you sure it's yours? Back when I lived in AZ i would find casings of all kinds in and around my neighbors yard. I never could figure out why he was so careless, even if they were empties.

Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Once I was drivin' home from the gun store after pickin' up a box of .40, apparently I took a turn to hard or something and it spilled. I collected all the ammo I could find and put it back in there but was still about 10 rounds short. I'm still not sure where they are. I found 6 of 'em when I was cleanin' out my car to put it in storage. My guess is they're jammed so far down in the back seat cushions with a whole bunch of other **** and that if I ever get in a car accident I might get shot in the back too.

Stuff like that will scare you, especially when you start thinking about the possible consequences, like kids finding the rounds and maybe getting hurt. Nobody's immune to mistakes. The ones that don't kill you make you more careful.
Not sure it's mine but I don't see any of my nieghbors as shooter's. And to have a similer round as the ones I use dropped right in front of my driveway? I think I have to own this one. So no one else has pulled thier change out of thier pocket at the store only to have a 45 shell drop to the floor? No bid deal in Texas I guess... but here in Califreekinfornia.
Grabed this from Wikki for you. A modern cartridge consists of the following: 1. the bullet itself, which serves as the projectile; 2. the case, which holds all parts together; 3. the propellant, for example gunpowder or cordite; 4. the rim, part of the casing used for loading; 5. the primer, which ignites the propellant.
Jo, you obviously have too much ammunition if you're throwing it around like that. It would be best if you send it all to me.

...said Chris Fowler on College Gameday this morning, after no one even mentioned Florida when debating the East and SEC champion. I think we are due for a reminder
Yeah, Bama, LSU, USC and even Georgia with their no defense defense were all talked about for contenders.
We'll know they're taking us seriously if they start saying Jeff Driskel will never make it in the NFL.
Yep, we won 11 games but could have lost half of them if you're honest. Several games was much closer than they should have been. Because of our predictable, low efficient offense, the margin of error for us was very small. We were always teetering on the edge. We rarely just beat teams, we basically squeaked by them. We won 11 games but it didn't really feel like we were in control. Our offensive production the past few years have been the worst I've ever seen at UF. It is beyond frustrating to watch. The difference in our defense to our offense is glaring. Why hasn't the offense caught up to the defense? Why does the offense often times go in reverse? I dread watching our offense. It is flat out boring for any football fan. I am very optimistic we will improve but it's hard to forget the past.
I loved watching the team last year. It was one of my favorite Gator teams. They fought for everything.
There is this thing called talent. When you evaluate and recruit better on one side of the ball that tends to happen
True, but then again just about any of our seasons we played games way to close or should have lost....sometimes did lose. We could have just as easy went undefeated. Would of, could of, should of.....we still won 11 games.
Agreed. Yes our O was lacking depth on the Oline and playmakers on the outside but they were tough as nails and a pleasure to watch. Sent from my iPhone using GatorCountry
I am still confident that Pease can get it done. We have the top QB in the country in that class. Our Oline is going to be better, and we have some stud receivers coming in. The main thing though is Pease is in the second year, so hopefully the handcuffs will come off, or at least loosened significantly.
I have been watching UF football for 34 years and I have never, ever had such a low expectation for an offense. The past 3 years, I don't even expect us to move the ball. I have very little faith that if we needed a score to win a game that we could sustain a long drive and put up points. Watching our offense is like watching the Keystone Cops at times. We have always had good offenses, even when we were bad. I don't buy it that we've somehow recruited better players on defense. If that's the case then move some guys over. I think it's a philosophy. Teams with much less talent can move the ball, why can't we? I know we've had changes every year on offense and that is probably the biggest reason but we have to be better. I miss the fun n gun.
You might have had little faith but last year when we needed to score we found a way to do it in the 2nd half. You dont buy that we have recruited better players on D? Just look at the recruiting rating of our DB's vs the WR's that were on the roster last year. Teams with less talent on offense also have less talent on D and take more risk because they have to. Muschamps main priority is to win football games. It seems some fans would rather go 8-4 and score a bunch of points than go 11-1 The bold is what is really the problem for you. But the fun and gun is not coming back. SOS team have relied on D the past 5 years. The league is also differnt
By my count, there were four games we could have lost--two came against top ten teams and two came in November when our roster was emaciated due to injuries and lack of depth--and one game we could have easily won that would have put us into the SECCG for a national title. The problem was our lack of playmakers. The offense wasn't inefficient. It ended up with the second fewest turnovers in league play, third best completion %, and sixth in third down %, the last of which is actually pretty remarkable given the fact that we were thirteenth in sacks against and fourteenth in penalties and therefore we were behind the sticks a ton. The problem is that it wasn't explosive--twelfth in yards per play and yards per pass attempt--and that has everything to do with the weak receiver play. The difference between offense and defense is that the latter was still reaping the benefits of the 2010 recruiting bonanza and had far more experience and talent across the board. The offense is still "catching up" in recruiting before it can ever "catch up" on the field. The offense "goes in reverse" because we had a first time starter at quarterback whose weakness was blitz recognition, a weak pass protecting line and backfield, a lack of speed or playmaking ability at receiver, and our third offensive system in as many seasons with yet another set of protections, hot reads, and checkdowns. All of those areas either have been improved or are in the process of being improved and it should begin showing this year, but especially next when we stand to return eight starters and the 2013 receiver class is in position to contribute at a higher level.

Although these contain approximately 200 calories each, they are an all natural granola bar, rich in omega-3 fatty acid with 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. To save on some calories, you can make this without the ground flaxseed meal and almonds to make each bar approximately 150-160 calories each. If you don't have the dried fruit and nut mixutre, you can just use any kind of dried fruit - raisins, craisins, prunes (chopped), mangoes (chopped), papaya... you get the ideaSubmitted by: DODGEEWE

Vine: Scored twice for St Johnstone
Derek McInnes' return to McDiarmid Park proved to be an unhappy one as his Bristol City side lost 2-1 to St Johnstone on Saturday.
A first-half brace from trialist Rowan Vine was enough to secure the victory for the hosts.

Jeb Bush: The GOP's Man in 2012?
Forget Tim Pawlenty, or Mitt Romney, or Sarah Palin. The best Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential race isn't any of the names being batted around right now. The man the GOP needs is Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and the younger brother of George W. Bush.
At least that's the argument laid out today by Rich Lowry, editor of the conservative National Review. Many of Lowry's eight reasons why Jeb should run in 2012—and not in 2016, as Bush has said he would—are well-worn: While Obama appears to be beatable, "there is no true frontrunner in the race to challenge him," Lowry writes. Jeb is "not just another Bush." Loathing of the Bush family, at its peak after George W.'s eight disastrous years in office, has largely subsided since Obama took over. And that there's no "too soon" when it comes to running for the president. (Case in point: Obama and Bill Clinton.)
Lowry's also right in pointing out that this year's batch of GOP candidates is a weak one. But in four years, Republican Party starlets such as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) and New Jersey governor Chris Christie will have much-needed experience under their belts and, provided they avoid major controversy between now and then, could pose a serious threat to any Democratic candidate no matter how popular he or she is.
But then there's Lowry's assessment of Jeb Bush on the issue of immigration, a hot-button subject in Jeb's home state of Florida. Lowry jabs Bush on immigration, writing, "Jeb will take his lumps on immigration (at NR, we'll look forward to administering some of them, and trying to change his mind)." That's because Bush's position on immigration reform—which includes a path to US citizenship for illegal immigrations, or "amnesty"—is significantly more centrist than the National Review's, which centers more around ideas like better border fencing, or a national ID card, or even a draconian Arizona-style immigration crackdown.
On the other hand, Jeb Bush's reasons for demanding the kind of immigration reform that makes conservatives squirm is obvious. As recent Census data showed, the Latino electorate in this country continues to grow not only in places like Florida, but also in North Carolina and Virginia. Courting Latino voters is more crucial than ever before. Jeb gets this. As he wrote in a recent Miami Herald op-ed, the 38 percent of Latino voters who chose Republicans in the 2010 midterms is not enough for the GOP to win going forward. "Conservatives have to commit to serious and sustained engagement" with the Latino community, Bush argued. He added: "The level of investment in outreach today is inextricably linked to the continued success of the center-right movement."
Whether Americans would be ready to elect a third Bush in 2012 remains to be seen. But make no mistake: If he does enter the race, Bush will be a candidate to be reckoned with.

I'm trying to wrap my head around some of the differences in usage and syntax in C vs. Objective-C. In particular, I want to know how (and why) the usage differs for the dot operator and the arrow operator in C vs. Objective-C. Here is a simple example.
C Code:
// declare a pointer to a Fraction
struct Fraction *frac;
// reference an 'instance' variable
int n = (*frac).numerator; // these two expressions
int n = frac->numerator; // are equivalent
Objective-C Code:
// declare a pointer to a Fraction
Fraction *frac = [[Fraction alloc] init];
// reference an instance variable
int n = frac.numerator; // why isn't this (*frac).numerator or frac->numerator??
So, seeing how frac
is the same in both programs (i.e. it is a pointer to a Fraction object or struct), why are they using different syntax when accessing properties? In particular, in C, the numerator
property is accessed with frac->numerator
, but with Objective-C, it is accessed using the dot operator, with frac.numerator
. Since frac
is a pointer in both programs, why are these expressions different? Can anyone help clarify this for me?

.- The Apostolic Nuncio in Spain, Archbishop Manuel Monteiro, said this week "man is ontologically, but not morally, free, because he is obligated in conscience to seek out the truth in all its aspects."
During the 17th Symposium on the History of the Church in Spain and America, the prelate also referred to the dignity of man and woman, as defended and promoted by the Church throughout her history. Human dignity "is increasingly clearer in the conscience of mankind in our time," he said, and "in order for conscience not to be violated or to suffer violence, it is necessary that it be truthful and in accord with the human person."
Archbishop Monteiro noted that "the Church does not ask for privileges," but rather "she desires to enunciate the love of God to mankind and thus build a society in which love and charity reign." In this sense, he explained that religious liberty is a "natural right" that should translate into a civil right, because it is founded "upon the very dignity of the person."
In order to lay the foundation of this freedom, he went on, "it is essential to recognize man's right to seek the truth, to follow his conscience and to accept the free and supernatural character of the act of faith."
The archbishop warned that in exercising his freedom of religion, man must not forget he is a "created being," and that "only with a careful and complete humanistic formation can we have people who are willing to serve the Church and society."

I have been learning about whitetails and the types of whitetail vocalizations they use and when and why they use each type. I have been calling whitetails while deer hunting for 31 years and have used deer calling techniques to help me harvest several nice bucks and have missed a few along the way, but we won't discuss those. I started learning about and using these calls early in my deer hunting adventures but didn't really understand what each of them meant and the best times to use each one. I was just using them kind of blindly hoping to get good results. But understanding each call and using them at the right time can improve your odds of getting big bucks in range. Knowing each vocalization whitetails use and when they use them and why can help you tremendously when you are deer hunting.
Whitetail Vocalizations
The three types of whitetail vocalizations are the bleat, the snort, and the grunt and there are several different types of each one. It is important to know what to say when to say it and have the call to say it with.
This is a list of each whitetail vocalization and the different types of each one.
- Bleat a. lost contact: "here I am" b.estrous bleat: lets bucks know they are ready to breed c. breeding bellow: bleat with extended bellow tells buck" I am ready to breed and I mean now"
- Distress bleat cry throughout year "help"
- Grunt a. buck ball: throughout the year like a doe bleat but deeper "here I am" b. tending grunt: during rut loud short grunts saying "come here" c.attention grunt: louder more aggressive best to use during the rut the bucks will usually circle downwind. Softer shorter less aggressive use throughout year made by both bucks and does say "come to me"
- Snort a.danger "get out of here" b.snort wheeze: aggressive, tells other bucks "this is my territory and I'll whip your butt back off"
Learn the basic whitetail vocalizations and the different types of each one and when the best time to use each one and you can greatly improve your odds of calling in and harvesting big bucks on a consistent basis.

Is Cryptics heads in the clouds ?
Ok i realy dont want to rant but im going to, we had 2 weeks open beta which wasnt enough by far and in that time cryptic realised they needed more hardware cause they didnt have the server capacity to match the amount of beta keys they sent out.
Anyhow lesson learnt or was it ?, now were in early start the server hasnt been improved, the bugs have not been repaired, the rubber banding is still there and the servers cant cope with the traftic its getting from the pre order customers.
so heres the question, what miraculous event is going to happen on tuseday, have cryptic got a huge server they are readying, do they have people working on the bugs, like memory alpha not working, the patrol missions needing to be ran several times before they register been completed. random kicks and server not responding bugs.
Because right now the server cant handle us, whats gonna happen when the retail customers all start trying to log in in 2 days? im thinking meltdown, plus many many unhappy customers, where exactly did my 50 quid go? sure as hell didnt go on new servers thats for sure.

Demonstrated at Pack Expo Las Vegas – A Patent-Pending Stretch-Wrap First, Pallet-Grip® System Locks Load to Pallet with Film Cable
Demonstrated at Pack Expo Las Vegas – A Patent-Pending Stretch-Wrap First, Pallet-Grip® System Locks Load to Pallet with Film Cable
Supplier: Lantech
Part Number S-1500
Stretch-wrap technology leader Lantech will demonstrate another industry first at Pack Expo Las Vegas, showcasing its new Pallet-Grip® load locking system. The patent-pending system is the only stretch-wrap containment method capable of meeting the latest requirements from big-box retailers and mass merchandisers for physically locking the load to the pallet. It greatly improves load containment and significantly reduces the chance for damage on double-stacked loads, winged pallets or those carrying barrels, pails, or rolls that lead to severe inboard load conditions.
"Based on what we have seen and heard from customers, an average of 3-20 cartons is damaged in each truck load of merchandise due to load shifting," says William Caudill, Lantech Product Manager for Automatic Systems. "The mass merchandisers are driving a new standard to reduce this, particularly as they move to greater use of half-height, stacked loads in trucks. It requires wrapping 3-5 inches of the pallet to the load, or wrapping the entire pallet. But then where do the forks go? Pallet-Grip is new technology that secures the load better yet leaves unobstructed access for fork trucks."
Available as a retrofit or option on new machines, Pallet-Grip effectively attaches a load to the pallet with bottom wraps of film that have been twisted into a cable along the lower 4-6 inches of the web. This tightly wound film cable is wrapped with 50% higher wrap force as it is secured below the deck of the pallet, while the remaining film web stays above the deck and secures the load. Pallet-Grip wrapping leaves the fork-truck through holes open and can eliminate the need for load lifts or pop-ups to wrap film under a pallet.
There is no material penalty for using Pallet-Grip – machines equipped with the system maintain a full 250% stretch to ensure lowest operating cost. With Pallet-Grip, the force-to-pallet containment is set with the wrap force of the machine, and the amount of the film web that's twisted into cable is also controlled by the machine.
"Pallet-Grip is not a roper," stresses Caudill. "A rope is just bunched film that can unravel, and usually requires staples, heat seals or hog ties to maintain tension. The Pallet-Grip cable does not unravel, and performs as if it were a wire reinforcement built into the bottom edge of the film web."

Rampant GMO Contamination Unchecked by Judge
7:00 am in Uncategorized by Rebekah Wilce
A judge in New York sided with Monsanto and against organic farmers in the first case of its kind seeking to protect famers from being accused of patent infringement upon unintentional contamination by Monsanto's GMO seed.
Organic farmers sought a judgment against Monsanto to protect themselves from being sued for patent infringement when their crops are unintentionally contaminated with the company's genetically modified (GMO) seed, was dismissed in federal district court in New York by Judge Naomi Buchwald called the plaintiffs' concern an "intangible worry, unanchored in time."
In fact, Monsanto has already filed "over a hundred lawsuits involving hundreds of farmers for illegally using GMO patented seeds, and there have been judgments as high as a million dollars, with the average judgment being about $170,000," according to Paige Tomaselli, Staff Attorney for the Center for Food Safety (CFS). CFS was a plaintiff in the case and spoke on the subject of GMO contamination at the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES) annual conference in Madison on February 25.
That's a pretty tangible worry for farmers that don't intend to grow genetically engineered crops. The plaintiffs collectively represent over 300,000 farmers and eaters.
Farmers' Lawsuit against Monsanto
The lawsuit (PDF), filed last year by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) and the other family farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations listed in the suit sought a declaratory judgment against Monsanto. They asked the Manhattan federal district court to declare that Monsanto can no longer sue farmers for inadvertent GMO contamination. OSGATA's press release describes the plaintiffs as "increasingly threatened by genetically modified seed contamination despite using their best efforts to avoid it."
Jim Gerritsen, a Maine family farmer and president of OSGATA, said, "Americans have the right to choice in the marketplace — to decide what kind of food they will feed their families — and we are taking this action on their behalf to protect that right to choose. Organic farmers have the right to raise our organic crops for our families and our customers on our farms without the threat of invasion by Monsanto's genetic contamination and without harassment by a reckless polluter."
In response to the dismissal, plaintiffs' attorney Daniel Ravicher, President and Executive Director of the Public Patent Foundation at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, told CMD, "While I have great respect for Judge Buchwald, her decision to deny farmers the right to seek legal protection from one of the world's foremost patent bullies is gravely disappointing. Her belief that farmers are acting unreasonable when they stop growing certain crops to avoid being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement should their crops become contaminated maligns the intelligence and integrity of those farmers."

Made the dressing several times and always a big hit. After the first time, I modified. I do not make the finger part, just make a big bowl of romaine lettuce. I do not add the cheese to the dressing....as it came out a glob of mess. I add it to the lettuce then mix in the dressing. I always double the recipe and find that I do not need 1/2 cup of oil...more like 1/3. I use the anchovy and add more garlic. Always make the day before.....tastes come together. A keeper!
Love this one...have made it countless times with that many raves and requests for the recipe!
I love the idea of the finger salad for company. As far as the dressing, this was one of those recipes that, to my taste, just "needed something." I added a bit more garlic, lemon, salt and pepper but didn't quite achieve the result I was looking for. When I make this again, will substitute bacon for the anchovies, with apologies to Caesar.
This is such an amazing dressing! My kids love it, and whenever we have parties we make this one!! I always make this recipe with out the anchovies! It is sooooo good
Delicious dressing. I used organic mayo and left out anchovies only because I didn't have them, but it didn't seem to detract from the flavor. I've made Caesar dressing with eggs, but prefer this version much more. Highly recommend.
The dressing is just amazing! I made this salad as a quick dinner for one by just dividing everything in half, and it was perfect! I also left out the anchovy because I am vegetarian and this was an awesome alternative Caesar salad to the normal salads that contain the anchovies that I cannot eat! Will definetly continue to make!

- I don't see why people would want to rush to a place that's cold and the wave is super heavy. It's not for everyone and not my idea of fun.
De seasoned surf travler , 28-06-2007
Exposure=crowds - Face it, wether the spot was well known before or wasnt, it definetly wasnt a secret spot for sure, the fact is that is received an incredible amount of exposure this last week. Just look at the dates of the comments post for this spot. There were a little more than a handful of comments from 2005 to April 2007. Then in just 3-4 months, there are more than 3 times the number of posts, all having to do with this contest. It will take a little bit of time for this spot to mature with crowds, it wont happen overnight (though it could if it becomes the wave of choice for the Brazilian traveling surf community - no disrespect, but they travel DEEP with friends). However, days of when you paddled out there with under 5 people are quickly going to come to an end and thats that. And IMO, thats a shame, but who cares what you and I think, you cant undo whats been done and frankly so what. The surf industry and surfing in general has become so comercialized and image driven, you can buy into it from a Pez dispenser. Just be happy that the wave is too much for 99% of you out there, so its no direct loss to you.Peace

India is renowned for producing graduates of the highest caliber but only very few received high-quality technical education. By partnering with IDA on an innovative education reform project, India has significantly bolstered the quality and availability of technical education, doubling the employment rate of graduates who are now better-suited to the needs of Indian industry.
Some of the best technical and engineering minds in the world were trained in India's renowned Institutes of Technology. These elite institutions are accessible to but a few qualified students: 1 percent to be specific. A large number of talented students receive education that are below global standards and of little relevance to the world of work. Recognizing the potential for growth in the knowledge-based global economy, India needs to overhaul its technical and engineering education sector to generate the pool of highly skilled professionals and creative thinkers to sustain the nation's progress in infrastructure, power, water, information technology, and manufacturing. India needs to overcome the rigid thinking of the past and create a dynamic, demand-driven and quality-conscious technical education system.
Launched in 2002, TEQIP's objectives were two-fold: to elevate academic excellence in participating technical education institutions; and to strengthen management capacity throughout the system. In order to qualify, institutions had to implement a set of reforms that promoted academic and administrative autonomy. Overall, 127 public and private technical education institutions in 13 states were competitively selected to participate. The project spearheaded a bottom-up approach that sought to empower the institutions to design and implement their own vision of academic excellence, while holding them accountable for providing quality education to their students.
At the end of the project in 2009, over 60 percent of the supported institutions obtained substantial academic autonomy. With this newly gained authority, the institutions could achieve significant gains in academic excellence, specifically:Highlights: - Employment rates almost doubled, indicating improved relevance of programs and increased skill sets of graduates.- Under TEQIP there was a 15 percent increase in students graduating with honors/distinction in both undergraduate and post-graduate courses. - Post-graduate enrollments rose sharply – up 50 percent for Masters and 69 percent for Ph.D programs. - Course offerings were restructured, modernized and vastly expanded in line with employer expectations. - Ninety-three percent of 811 Bachelor courses supported by TEQIP were accredited or in the process of accreditation by a quality assurance agency. - 220,000 students from disadvantaged backgrounds were assisted through provision of remedial teaching, workshops and establishment of "book banks."- 30,000 faculty and 13,000 staff underwent training and professional development.- Sizeable increases in publications, patents and research and development (R&D) products being commercialized.
IDA committed US$189 million to TEQIP. To ensure sustainability of finances beyond the life of the project most institutions established four critical funds: Institutional, staff development, depreciation, and maintenance. Further, IDA contributed with advice to the national and state governments on decentralization, reform implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.
TEQIP was the first of a planned series of projects for the long term reform of the technical education sector. A second phase was approved in March 2010 and it equally seeks to contribute to a nation-wide improvement in quality of technical education. It will strengthen the core-concept from the first phase, particularly the competitive funding of institutions, autonomy and accountability reforms, and the bottom-up approach. Lessons emphasize the need to focus more on: capacity-building of government officials in technical education, boards of governors, directors and deans to implement the reforms; increase availability of pedagogical training; stop funding to non-performing institutions; project implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. In addition, the second phase will respond to two new needs in India: to prepare more post-graduate students to reduce the shortage of qualified faculty, and to produce more R&D in collaboration with industry.read more on Haryana's Success Story

In recent years, the only organization in D.C. more disastrously mismanaged than the federal government has been the Washington Nationals. Consider the evidence: in 2009 alone an early-season series sweep by Florida in which the Nats lost all three games in the ninth inning or later; a relief corps rebuilt wholesale, days afterward, from scratch ("It wasn't fair to the fans," explained the acting GM); a roster featuring more arrests than All-Stars; an overzealous manager who benched a player for tardiness after a Little League fundraiser; a farm system that has produced just one everyday player; and a GM recently forced to resign because of possible ties to Latin American scouting kickbacks.
