* The biggest news out of the John Edwards trial yesterday was that Judge Eagles told the alternate jurors they didn't have to show up anymore. OMG, boring. Give us a verdict already. [ABC News]
* Kim Dotcom and his company's defense against the DOJ's charges is coming together piece by piece. If only Megaupload were a torrent site, this would be a much better nerd joke. [Media Decoder / New York Times]

* Dewey have any cash to pay the people helping to wind down our firm's business? Nope!

What Do Lawyers And Celebrities Have In Common?
Besides their good looks and fame, they're also increasing their focus on data security. In the wake of "Celebgate," the Sony Pictures hack, and nearly daily data breaches targeting massive corporations to individuals, law firms are finally recognizing the importance of bringing their cybersecurity policies up to speed.

Hear Christina Aguilera's M.I.A. Collab
By Tom Breihan on May 27, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. EDT
On her new album Bionic, Christina Aguilera worked with some very cool people, including Santigold, Goldfrapp, Ladytron, and Le Tigre. The album, due June 8 from RCA, has leaked to the internet, and RCA is doing a pretty masterful job of shutting down all the illegal YouTube streams and mp3 blog posts out there. But right now, you hear Xtina's "Elastic Love", co-written by lightning rod M.I.A., who also sings on the track.
More Details on the Le Tigre/Christina Aguilera Collaboration Revealed
By Ryan Dombal on February 1, 2010 at 2:55 p.m. EST
After much speculation, Le Tigre are finally speaking about their collaboration with pop star extraordinaire Christina Aguilera. Though there's still a possibility that the "couple of songs" Le Tigre made with Xtina won't make the belter's forthcoming album-- dubbed Bionic and reportedly due in April-- Le Tigre member Johanna Fateman had lots of positive things to say about the unlikely pairing in a recent blog post. "For a feminist band obsessed with pop music, it was pretty much a dream come true," she wrote.
Christina Aguilera Working With M.I.A. and Santigold on New Album
By Tom Breihan on August 14, 2009 at 6:20 p.m. EDT
Goddam, Christina Aguilera's next album is shaping up to be quite the all-star affair. We've already reported that she's done work in the studio with Goldfrapp, Ladytron, Sia, and, most recently, Le Tigre. And now MTV reports that Aguilera's been working with a couple of other big dogs: M.I.A. and Santigold. Sweet!
According to MTV, Aguilera called her personal station on A.P.E. Radio (the same network that makes Weezer's radio station) earlier this week to give a few quick, tantalizing details on the LP. Said Xtina: "I think I'm most proud of this work than I've ever been, just because I worked with so many amazing and incredibly talented people... I got a chance to sort of write with Santigold, M.I.A., Ladytron-- artists that I really love."
Le Tigre Working With Christina Aguilera
By Tom Breihan on June 8, 2009 at 6:40 p.m. EDT
It's been nearly five years since Le Tigre released their last album, the thoroughly meh This Island. And since they finished touring on that record, there's been precious little news from the New York electro-punk trio. Kathleen Hanna spent some time teaching. JD Samson has been DJing and playing live with a new band called MEN, which also includes Le Tigre bandmate Johanna Fateman. Though they insisted they were on an "extended break," we pretty much assumed that Le Tigre had broken up.
So it's a happy surprise to learn that not only do Le Tigre still exist, but they're in the studio working with one of the biggest pop stars on Planet Earth.

A New Zealand tribunal has awarded $11,500 to an office worker who was fired for sending e-mail messages in all-capital letters. The tribunal ruled Vicki Walker of Auckland was unfairly dismissed for the formatting of her e-mail messages, despite the fact that her former employer, ProCare Health, had no official e-mail style guide, Britain's The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday. ProCare Health claimed during the tribunal that Walker, an accountant, was the subject of complaints from coworkers...

(ended 1991)
I found 2 videos only hard copies of some old episodes, but that was only becasue i got lucky and stumbled ont hem at an ex rental sale. Its imposible to find much on the internet but im working on copying them to DVD and uploading it to the net. Widget was brilliant and he's only 4 ft tall!!!

|Cartoon Network should start showing Re-runs of it
Ah, I definately miss Widget! I thought I was the only one!!
I watched it all the time growing up. If they're not going to show it on tv again they could at least release some DVDs or something!
|3StarvingArtist wrote:
|I do! I'm hoping it's eventually released on DVD. Unlike Captain Planet and despite what a lot pple seem to believe about Widget, this show wasn't annoying like CPATP often was. A little campy? Maybe, but many of the characters were very likable and all animals were typically shown in a good light (unlike on The Wild Thornberrys, where only cute or "noble" animals are good). Plus, Widget has sweet superpowers!
Widget Rocked, I used to watch this show like every day after school as a kid along with Captain Planet, Superted and Gumby as well as many more.
They were the good old days lol....Anyone know of a DVD out for Widget?
|Spaction3 wrote:
Well, it is a superpower you can't go wrong with. I wonder... does anyone (aside from me) have any original characters or stories made up for this show?

Where is Don and Missy?
And how are you all doing?
Don had so many medical problems, and he was schedules for heart surgery (heart ablation), so I am a bit worried. I am suggesting we all send healing thoughts, sunflowers and other mojo his way.
I have not seen him on Hot Topics or on Facebook either.
He surely is missed, hope he is done with all the medical stuff and is healing.
He just posted 4 days ago on Hot Topics. You have to skip to the bottom to see it, but he's there. I have them in my thoughts, but I assume they're just taking it easy. Or busy putting up Halloween webs in trees! I can hope, can't I?
Here is a link that might be useful: Don's post on Hot Topics
Hi and thanks for the interest. Just too glum to be social lately. Read some days. The ablation may or may not happen as the cardio Dr. I saw last week says I have been stable in the ekgs they have done lately. That would mean indefinite time on the heart meds, possibly permanent. my goal is to be off them so I want more opinions. Have to call San Diego and talk to the coumadin guy.
Worked on the truck that has been sitting since April and got it running to do some work. Activity will show if the flutter/fibrillation is still there so may request a monitor to wear and record. The truck and I seem to have a symbiotic relationship of things to fix.
Thyroid is out and Gallbladder is out so am off the pain meds that had me light headed an off kilter. Trying to loose weight that was gained back from them. Getting busy with calls from some that are worried about fall Santa Ana winds after not doing much of anything for months. Stretching muscles that have not been used for a bit and adjusting.
Did find a new goodie at an antique store for a great price.
Hello Brother!
So happy to see you! So glad you are taken care of and are back to a more "normal" life, don't miss the appendages taken away. I'm glad you are doing a bit of what you know best, though be careful and don't overdo.
Missy - how about your cataract/vision problems? They are really not a biggie, if your Doc is like mine. Except for post-op and follow ups it's not an awful thing, and besides having to put eye-drops in for a couple of weeks, recovery is not a biggie.
Love you both, think of you often

I'm new with structs, so pardon if I'm not using the correct terms or being too vague.
I have multiple forms on a page. I have each form's action property tied to separate actions in struts-config. Each form's submission works correctly. But I'd also like to prepopulate all of the forms when the page loads.
I tried creating multiple s in struts config, all with the same path but each with different type properties. But only the final seems to be executed. Is there a way I can make all of these actions execute, or is there some way to make an action trigger other actions, or something like that? I would just make one setup controller, but you can only tie a single form to an action, so I don't think that would work.
I think I'm using Struts 1.

Daily Devotional for Tuesday, March 31st, 2015
"But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee." Mark 14:28
God never sends you into a situation alone. He always goes before His children, as He did with the children of Israel when He led them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. You do not serve as His advance troops in a foreign and hostile situation. He always precedes you in any situation you encounter. God is never caught by surprise by your experience; He has already been there. He is prepared to meet every need because He has gone before you and knows exactly what you will need for your pilgrimage (Deut. 31:8).
Not only does God go before you, but He also stands beside you and behind you, to provide protection and comfort (Ps. 139:7-12). Jesus knew His disciples would be totally bewildered by His crucifixion, so He assured them in advance that no matter what happened, no matter where they went, they could go in confidence that He had already gone before them. Paul, too, experienced this assurance (Acts 18:9; 23:11). In the most bewildering circumstances, his Lord was there!
If you are going through a difficult or confusing time, know that your Lord has gone before you and He is present with you. He is fully aware of what you are facing, and He is actively responding to your need. There is nowhere you can go that you will not find Christ waiting for you to join Him. Even when you face death, you can be assured that He has gone before you in triumph. As a child of God, rest in the knowledge that your Savior preceded you, and He will walk with you through each experience of your life.
The monthly BMI Bible study for April 2015 will be held on Tuesday, April 7.
We will see you there!

can't email an illustrator doc
victoria321April 6, 2010
I have a document in illustrator with word cut and pasted in. I need to email it to a publisher but the graphics won't go through. How can I do this?
Check your file size. It may be too big for the email server to handle.
Can you send it as a pdf file? Illustrator should create one for you that's transportable.
Can you convert it to an esc file?
Try running any sort of pre-flight functions and fix any problems that show up (color issues or font issues) and then package the file - that should help it transmit.

Supporters of Headwaters Science Center were crushed last year when then-Gov. Tim Pawlenty line-item-vetoed $475,000 in planning and design funds toward a new $26 million building project.
But, in retrospect, that might have helped spur them to think a little bigger.

I have a SaaS application running on .NET and IIS 7.5. I'd like to monitor average server response time and send an alert if it exceeds a given threshold. What are some elegant ways to do this?
I've thought of a few ways already, but I wanted to get others' opinions before I start down any of these tracks.
Some kind of server log parser. Seems the most obvious, but it may be somewhat difficult to extract the metric I'm looking for.
NuGet .NET HTTP module. Are there any NuGet packages that implement response time monitoring and alerting? I couldn't find one.
Custom .NET HTTP module. Monitor the page render time, send an email if it exceeds a threshold. This is probably the most flexible solution but requires some implementation work.
Performance counters. Seems there should be a performance counter for this, but I've never had much luck using the Performance Monitor. Specifically, I don't like re-adding all the metrics every time I launch it. I can't really make Performance Monitor automatically send an email either.
Are there others I haven't thought of? What approach seems the easiest to implement and maintain? Have you tried this yourself?

Declining defense budgets might mean there is less money for the Pentagon to buy new smart phones and tablets, but that is not stopping the military from moving forward with mobility efforts that sometimes take an unorthodox path away from the desktop.
Top Defense Department officials speaking at an AFCEA DC event in Washington on Nov. 22 all said that their mobility budgets are either flat or shrinking. But budget-cut malaise is not setting in just yet.
"We've done a good job of saving on mobile devices and wireless services, and we managed to do that without cutting devices arbitrarily or cutting capabilities," said Peter Ziomek, mobile director at the Navy Department CIO Office. "We're spending $2.5 million less on 'stuff' than we were two or two and a half years ago. We don't get to invest it in something else because the money's just not there because of budget cuts."
But Ziomek insisted that "there's a lot of room to do more with less, to take what you're doing now and translate that."
At the Marine Corps, the shift from the former Navy-Marine Corps Intranet means the service is now managing its own networks – and saving 50 percent in the process, according to Rob Anderson, chief of the vision and strategy division in the Marines' Office of the Director of Command, Control, Communications and Computers. That savings is allowing leaders there to consider creative ways to push forward with mobility.
"Do we try to go forward with something completely unique? For example...what about an IT allowance?" Anderson said. "If we have a 50 percent savings today, and we've got to replace over half of our laptops currently on the network and they haven't been refreshed in five years ... what if we were allowing the individual to replace their laptop with something they brought in but [on which] we implemented security controls? What if we give them an IT allowance to do that?"
He noted that if a laptop costs $1,200 but an IT allowance of $30 per month totals $360 a year, it could mean even more savings – and a whole new way of doing things.
"I think we have the ability to do a new approach to this and actually change the way we're not just doing mobility, but the way we do our entire internal user device," Anderson said.
Finding those new approaches will be critical to agencies seeking ways to work mobility into their budgets and into the hands of employees, according to Coast Guard Cyber Command Commander and CIO Rear Adm. Robert Day. But he noted that outdated policies that too often stand in the way of technology upgrades present a challenge.
"This is the type of thinking that's going to be required in the future," Day said. "This is the type of thought we're going to have to have. We're still using thought process of the 1970s, '80s and '90s, but these are policy changes [we need]...and that's a difficult thing to do."

Foi muito divertido!
Primeiro o chef nos leva ao mercado central para conhecermos alguns dos ingredientes e depois vamos até a cozinha onde outro chef esta a nossa espera. Aprendemos a fazer a pasta italiana, o tiramisu e o molho alla bolognese. O almoço está incluso nessa diversão! no final recebemos um certificado e um livro com as receitas.
It was amazing!! Loved it!!
We were looking for an Italian cooking class to make fresh pasta,(not just pizza) and it exceeded our expectations. The knowledge, expertise and humour from chefs Julio and Andrea made our experience one of our most memorable ever! Janeen from Canada
We had a brilliant day and would thoroughly recommend it. We were taken to the market and then came back to the kitchen to learn to make Tiramisu, Tagliatelle with authentic Bolognese sauce and Ravioli, all made from scratch. The Chef then produced a bottle of Chianti and we sat and ate our results together. And all in the centre of Florence a few metres from the Duomo!
We LOVED our cooking class with Davide and Alessio. They are skilled chefs and facilitated the class so that we all had a hands on experience. The menu was delicious and the cooking experience memorable. I have recommended it to friends. Eloise ( Sept. 2014)
David was fabulous! The market part of the class is a must. Was a great value
Everything about this class was perfect! I was in a small group of only 7 and was so glad about it. We went to the market and the chef was so nice and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning about the Italian food culture from him. Everything we prepared was delicious and I really enjoyed my time. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Really great tour, visiting the markets to select the best products, learning how to cook the Italan way then of course eating our delicious meals with a glass or 2 of Red Wine. The chefs happy to share their knowledge and answer questions.We were given a copy of the recepi's and a certificated to take away. Great day ,would do again . Vivienne (Australia)
We were asked to join the VIP tour and had a fabulous time shopping, cooking and drinking in the sites of the Tuscany countryside. Fabulous day. Thanks to our great chef
Absolutely brilliant!
Lovely people. This the first time for us in a cooking class, my wife and I enjoyed it very much we wished it never end. We definitely recommend it
The cooking class was amazing. Giuseppe took us in a small van to the market to see what type of fresh ingredients we should try and buy. Such an authentic experience. He was so friendly and funny throughout his guided tour. We then left the market and headed towards the gorgeous farmhouse where we would be instructed throughout cooking our meal. The landscape was breathtaking - take pictures!! The 4 course meal was beyond enjoyable, filling, and such an experience. We learned so much from the lesson and had a great time during it. We've even swapped contact info with the small group we took the class with. (We are also a young couple that was on our honeymoon and we thought it was such an enjoyable and fun experience.) Highly recommended.
Cooking class was everything we expected and more. Enjoyed visiting the food market, the clear instructions on preparation of recipes and particularly enjoyed eating all we prepared with extra treats and plenty of wine. Thank you for a most memorable Florence adventure.
We had an amazing time and learned so much! The end product was divine!! Great interactive class...would do this again in a heart beat!! Awesome and charming instructors.
This was a highlight of our 3 week trip in Italy! We had SUCH fun, learned how to make fresh pasta in a fun and convivial setting. We would definitely do this again. Great to go to the central market first to see all the fresh foods and then sit in smaller groups and make, and then eat, delicious food.
Loved this! Our tour guide (Andreea) was fun and informative, and the food we made was really good! I feel really to make pasta from scratch for my family now!

How do I apply GEL polyurethane??
I recently finished a side table using General Finishes gel stain. Worked fairly well, but I'm nervous about applying their GEL polyurethane. What's the best technique for applying this product? I want to avoid drips and don't want it to look too 'heavy'.
I've attempted using normal polyurethane without much success, but I have a can of this if it's easier to apply.
A friend of mine runs a woodworking supply store and is a very good finisher. He calls gel varnish, "The answer to a question nobody asked." The premise is that you want a varnish to soak into the surface of the wood, not just sit on the surface. When a well-known finish supplier tried to get him to carry their gel stain in his store, he made this comment to them (he is never shy about expressing his opinion). Their response was, "Well, we always thin it before using it." So then what is the purpose?
I have used Bartley's Gel varnish as not was not too impressed with it. It tends to build up in concave details.
The thing about gel varnishes is that the contain a "thixotropic agent" This makes the finish gel when at rest, and liquid when energy is applied. For example, open a can and put in a stir-stick. It will stand up. Stir vigorously for a minute and put the stick back in and now it will tip over. The same thing happens at a small level when the finish is padded on, it liquifies at the point of contact, then returns to a gel.
Personally, I like a varnish thinner and brushed or padded on. Pretty much a fool-proof method of varnishing is to thin about 50-50 with mineral spirits and wipe on multiple thin coats. You'll need 7-8 coats to equal about 3-4 coats of brushed on, but it goes fast, no brush to clean, and you can pad on another coat while it is still green (slightly tacky).
Pad on three coats in one day, while the prior coat is still "green." Let dry overnight.
Scuff sand, and repeat three coats on the second day. Let dry overnight.
Scuff sand and apply three more coats on the third day.
Application style which worked for me: brush on with a 2" brush, get coverage into the corners because the wiping will take care of the flats; wipe to an even coating with a soft cloth, lint-free. Work quickly because it sets up with great rapidity. I like the gel varnish because it is one fast foolproof step that has the effect of not looking like a heavy brushed finish. It's also dust free in about 5 minutes.

HELP! Old picture stuck behind glass!
I have a very, very old picture of my Dad when he was a young man. The picture is in a wooden frame with glass and it is very, very old. At one time it appears water entered the scene and seeped inside the glass. Heaven only knows where or when this happened but I am reluctant to remove the glass because the picture is stuck to it and I fear tearing the picture.
Is there anyway I could remove the picture without causing more damage? It looks normal behind the frame but I am very concerned with the damage we can't see from moisture.
Any thoughts? Would appreciate your advice/help.
Dont do anything with the picture, you will risk ruining it. Find a local shop that works with photos, like someone who restores old photos, take the photo as is (stuck to glass) to them and let them remove it. If there is a good camera shop that you can go to, they may be able to tell you where you could find a photo restoration specialist.
I do a lot of genealogy and when I am able to find an old album some family members would prefer (and I don't blame them) that they not be removed. I find that taking digital pictures has been a lifesaver. I take several just in case the lighting/focus is not perfect and I've been amazed when I get home, how I can zoom into some wonderful and interesting details. If I were you, I'd try to scan, take digitals, and then take to a professional. Good luck with it.
