Mitja Krebelj (2010) Design and implementation of the framework for web applications development. EngD thesis.
PDF Download (1301Kb) |
The World Wide Web is a rapidly evolving system that has become an important platform for developing and running applications. Software reuse is one of the most important ways to build new software. Web frameworks are a good example of software reuse. They are application generators that help us build web applications by using abstract classes, prefabricated components, and well defined software patterns. In the thesis I described the design and implementation of a custom web framework, I compared it with two existing open source web frameworks, and described possible bindings among them. I concluded that binding these frameworks offers two major benefits. It may widen the set of web applications that the custom framework supports, and it may increase the custom framework's performance. In the conclusion of the thesis I listed the advantages and disadvantages of custom framework development and suggested possible enhancements of the framework.

Cranberry-Mushroom Beef Brisket Recipe
I quickly fell for this fantastic sweet-and-sour brisket when I had it at a family wedding reception. Since the meat needs to be refrigerated overnight after it bakes, it is a great make-ahead entree.
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup thawed cranberry juice concentrate
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 4-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh beef brisket (4 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1-1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the broth, cranberry juice concentrate, vinegar, rosemary and garlic; pour into a large roasting pan. Top with onion slices.
- 2. Season beef with salt and pepper; place fat side up in the pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
- 3. Remove meat and thinly slice across the grain. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- 4. For gravy, skim fat from cooking juices; pour into a saucepan. Combine flour, water and browning sauce if desired until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cover and refrigerate.
- 5. Place beef slices in a shallow baking dish; top with mushrooms, cranberries and gravy. Cover and bake at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until heated through and mushrooms are tender. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Howell senior 145-pounder Ashanti Maurice feels wrestlers must make a simple choice before they wrestle in the NJSIAA Individual Wrestling Championships.
"It's who wants it more,'' Maurice said. "Do you want to sit there and be the one to lose and go party or do you want to be high on the podium? That's what it is.''
Maurice, the third-place finisher in Region VI, wrestled like someone who wants to be on the podium in his two bouts at Boardwalk Hall. He defeated Hunterdon Central's Tim Higginson, 12-7, in the preliminary round and then he upended bottom bracket No. 3 seed Mike Maroitti of West ...

Douglas Moore
Douglas Stuart Moore (August 10, 1893 – July 25, 1969) was an American composer, educator, and author. He wrote music for the theater, film, ballet and orchestra, but his greatest fame is associated with his operas The Devil and Daniel Webster (1938) and The Ballad of Baby Doe (1956).[1]
Moore was born in Cutchogue, Long Island, New York, and his ancestors can be traced back to the first settlers arriving to Long Island. He was an alumnus of the Hotchkiss School and Yale University. Moore earned two degrees from Yale University, a B.A. in 1915, then a B.Mus in 1917.
Moore served in the Navy as a lieutenant, after which he studied music with Nadia Boulanger, Vincent d'Indy and Ernest Bloch in Paris.[2]
Moore served as president of the National Institute and American Academy of Arts and Letters, 1953 - 1956. He had been a member since 1941.[3]
In 1921, Moore went to Cleveland as Director of Music at the Cleveland Museum of Art, during which he studied with Ernest Bloch at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and performed in plays at The Cleveland Play House. He made his debut as a composer and conductor in 1923 conducting his Four Museum Pieces with the Cleveland Orchestra. In 1926, Moore joined the music faculty at Columbia University, where he remained until his retirement in 1962. He was an effective and appreciated teacher whose genial manner made him popular amongst students.
His teaching often included studies of contemporary music and at one point invited Béla Bartók for a small seminar in one of his classes. In 1954 he was a co-founder, with Otto Luening and Oliver Daniel, of the CRI (Composers Recordings, Inc.) record label.
Apart from classical compositions, Moore also composed several popular songs whilst at Yale together with poet and Hotchkiss School mate Archibald MacLeish and later in collaboration with John Jacob Niles. These songs were later published in 1921 under the collective title "Songs my Mother never taught Me". He later collaborated with fellow Yale alumnus Stephen Vincent Benet on the folk opera The Devil and Daniel Webster.
He wrote two books on music, Listening to Music (1932) and From Madrigal to modern Music (1942).
Moore lived his entire life in the family home Salt Meadow in Cutchogue, where his studio faced a tidal inlet. Douglas Moore died in the Eastern Long Island Hospital in the neighboring village of Greenport in 1969.
Moore's music is somewhat difficult to pigeonhole. Under the course of his artistic career he developed a highly personal musical language, basically romantic and richly tonal but with strong links to American folk music.
Influence during his musical education came especially from his teacher d'Indy (he didn't get on too well with Boulanger), at the Schola Cantorum de Paris, whose harmonic treatment had quite a large influence on Moore. Even his late compositions carry a certain whiff of d'Indy's techniques.
Moore is sometimes viewed as a conservative mainly because he tended to resist influence of the various musical vogues that arose, and ultimately fell, during his life. His chosen style was what some regard as "typically American" i.e. based on American folk music, though Moore never actually used any authentic folk tunes but rather created his own (much like Gustav Holst or Falla). The creation of this style was greatly bolstered by Vachel Lindsay in the twenties, though Moore also allowed other styles influence him, such as jazz and ragtime. This is most readily apparent in his operas. The Ballad of Baby Doe has several rag elements (a honky-tonk piano is used extensively in the first scene) and in his 1958 "soap opera" Gallantry, the commercials for Lochinvar soap and Billy Boy wax are sung in a blueslike fashion. Furthermore, the allegretto from his second symphony has an almost neoclassical clarity to it.
He is sometimes compared to Virgil Thomson and Aaron Copland.[citation needed]
One distinguishing characteristic of Douglas Moore's music is the modesty, grace and tender lyricism that mark the slower passages of his many works, especially his Symphony in A major and the clarinet quintet. The faster movements of the aforementioned compositions have a robust, jovial and a somewhat terpsichorean quality. Admittedly though, Moore was slower in development when it came to purely orchestral works and most of his energy was directed towards opera. He wrote eight operas, mostly on American subjects, though one notable exception is Giants in the Earth (for which he won the Pulitzer Prize) which concerns Norwegian immigrants in Dakota Territory.
The Grove Dictionary of Music evaluates Moore by saying "Time has not been kind to Moore's work." It is likely that despite all the other music he wrote, he will only be remembered for The Ballad of Baby Doe.[dubious ]

DR650 owners Beware! Neutral Sending Unit screw up!
As I was driving down the road with my missus suddenly the bike sounded like a washing machine filled up with screws and gravel brake/stop/swear...
Got home (thats another story) assessed the damage and it`s hmmm...
Started tinkering what caused the carnage and realized MY NEUTRAL LIGHT was not working properly for a couple of days. A little more reading and sometimes on older DR650-s the screw of the neutral sending unit can let go and could cause massive damage!
So beware! If your light goes out or flicker don`t assume it`s just some electrical gremlin (like I did) strip the RHS clutch cover and check the bolts holding the NSU in place or rip the thing out all together.
My question is do you reckon if its a complete strip and rebuild if your clutch inner hub plate assembly is disintegrated to million little pieces?
Everything else looks intact no pitting scoring but metallic particles could be anywhere in the insides.

Does taking the trucks off your skateboard count?
This was the first board I bought, cost me $250 and about 6 weeks of putting money down on layaway back in 91. Although mine was used and cut down to a new school shape and I covered it up with skate stickers. I remember it was a pain in the ass to adjust my stance because the board was set up for regular foot, and the shop wanted to charge $2.50 per hole to drill out new holes for a goofy stance even after I had just paid the most money for anything in my life at the time. I think I actually said fuck that and never came back to that crappy store. Last edited by freshy; 02-12-2011 at 06:52 PM. |

Hey, I remember that Kemper! Yes, cool! Mine was a 1991 Burton Air 6, with 3-strap bindings. I started in LaCrosse pac boots, which was pretty normal at the time. That was my senior year in high school. I was the only snowboarder in the student body and first ever in the "ski club". Pics from same and subsequent years, breaking new ground.

Bought a Quiksilver Daggers 150 last year (slightly too small) for about $130. The board performs surprisingly well, though it's a bit stiff. Learning to turn on it was a pain, but now it rips up the mountain

Thursday night's tilt between the Red Sox and Tigers pitted two of the American League's top offenses against one another, but it was the men on the mound who shined — until the ninth inning, at least.
Boston starter John Lackey turned in a stat line nearly identical to his last outing, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk over seven innings. He was unable to come away with the win — Jhonny Peralta made sure of that with a walk-off home run in the ninth — but Lackey continues to give the Sox quality innings. The right-hander has now allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last seven outings.
To hear what Lackey had to say after Thursday's game, check out the video above.

Anne Perry (born 28 October 1938 as Juliet Marion Hulme) is an English author of historical detective fiction, best known for her Thomas Pitt series and William Monk series. She was convicted of participating in the murder of her friend's mother in 1954. She changed her name after serving her sentence.
Early life[edit]
Born in Blackheath, London, the daughter of Dr. Henry Hulme, an English physicist, Perry was diagnosed with tuberculosis as a child and sent to the Caribbean and South Africa in hopes that a warmer climate would improve her health. She rejoined her family when her father took a position as Rector of Canterbury University College, New Zealand, when she was 13. She attended Christchurch Girls' High School, then located in what became the Cranmer Centre.[1]
Murder and trial[edit]
In June 1954, at the age of 15, Hulme and her best friend Pauline Parker murdered Parker's mother, Honorah Rieper.[2] Hulme's parents were in the process of separating, and she was supposed to go to South Africa to stay with a relative. The two teenage girls, who had created a rich fantasy life together populated with famous actors such as James Mason and Orson Welles, did not want to be separated.
On 22 June 1954, the girls and Honora Rieper went for a walk in Victoria Park in their hometown of Christchurch. On an isolated path Hulme dropped an ornamental stone so that Ms. Rieper would lean over to retrieve it. Parker had planned to hit her mother with half a brick wrapped in a stocking. The girls presumed that one blow would kill her but it took more than 20.[3]
Parker and Hulme stood trial in Christchurch in 1954 and were found guilty on 29 August that year. As they were too young to be considered for the death penalty under New Zealand law at the time, they were convicted and sentenced to be "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure". In practice, this sentence meant they were to be detained at the discretion of the Minister of Justice. They were released separately five years later.
Parker and Hulme are not believed to have had any contact since their trial.[4]
These events formed the basis for the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, in which Melanie Lynskey portrayed a teenage Pauline Parker and Kate Winslet portrayed teenaged Juliet Hulme. At the time of the film's release, it was not generally known that the well-known mystery author "Anne Perry" was the grown-up Juliet Hulme; her identity was made public some months after the film had been issued.
Although many presumed Hulme's and Parker's relationship to be sexual, Perry stated in 2006 that, although the relationship was obsessive, the two "were never lesbians".[4]
Later life[edit]
After being released from prison, Hulme returned to England and became a flight attendant. For a period she lived in the United States, where she joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1968. She later settled in the Scottish village of Portmahomack where she lived with her mother. Her father went on to a distinguished scientific career, heading the British hydrogen bomb programme,[5]
Hulme took the name Anne Perry, the latter being her stepfather's surname. Her first novel, The Cater Street Hangman, was published under this name in 1979. Her works generally fall into one of several categories of genre fiction, including historical murder mysteries and detective fiction. Many of them feature a number of recurring characters, most importantly Thomas Pitt, who appeared in her first novel, and amnesiac private investigator William Monk, who first appeared in her 1990 novel The Face of a Stranger. As of 2003 she had published 47 novels, and several collections of short stories. Her story "Heroes", which first appeared in the 1999 anthology Murder and Obsession, edited by Otto Penzler, won the 2001 Edgar Award for Best Short Story.
In 2005, Perry appeared on the Trisha show to discuss the crime on a special themed show.[6]
Each series is listed in internal chronological order, according to the author's website.[7]
The two main series each feature both a male and a female protagonist. Thomas Pitt is matched with Charlotte; her female society relatives help in the mysteries out of boredom. William Monk is matched with Hester Latterly, a Crimean War nurse. The Monk mysteries are set earlier in the Victorian era (1850s–1860s) than the Pitt books (1880s–1890s). Hester plays a very strong role in these stories; in some cases she is a better investigator than Monk. The Christmas stories involve minor characters such as sisters, bosses, or grandmothers in a personal crisis at a later Christmas time with a strongly enforced redemption message at the end.

Since then, more people have migrated to Mexico from the United States rather than the other way around. The most recent immigration figures show more Asian than Latin immigrants.
Recent polls suggest that Obama may run even stronger among Hispanics than his 67 to 31 percent margin in 2008. That will help him in target states Colorado and Nevada. But polls in the biggest target state, Florida, show Hispanics about evenly divided, even though less than half are Cuban-Americans.
Republicans got 38 percent of Hispanic votes in 2010, enough to win the total national vote. In the future, Hispanics are likely to vote more Democratic than average, but not hugely so. And they're likely to become 12 to 15 percent of the electorate someday, not 20 or 25 percent.
The third group of non-whites are Asians, 2 percent of the electorate in 2008 and 2010. They're the least Democratic non-white group, 62 percent for Obama in 2008 and 58 percent for House Democrats in 2010. Current polling suggests similar numbers this year.
But Asians aren't a single cohesive group and may not be reliably Democratic over time. They voted Republican for president in the 1990s.
Most Asian-Americans live in heavily Democratic California and Obama's birth state Hawaii. In target states, they formed 3 percent of the electorate in Nevada and Virginia in 2008.
Nevada Filipinos will vote heavily Democratic. But Republicans are working the Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese communities in Northern Virginia. In non-target state New Jersey, South Asians in Middlesex County cast decisive margins for Republican Chris Christie in 2009.
So puncture a couple of myths. Romney can win even if 80 percent of non-whites vote again for Obama. And rising percentages of non-whites in future electorates will pose challenges, but not threaten doom, for the Republican Party.

In 1009 AD, the Fatimite Khalif of Egypt al-Hakim explicitly ordered the
destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Arab historian Yahia ibn
Sa`id describe the events thus: "the holy deed commenced on Tuesday, the fifth
day before the end of the month of Safar of the year 400 of the Egira (1009 AD
in our calendar). Only those parts of difficult access were spared". They
started by demolishing the tomb itself, the dome and the high parts of the
buildings until the debris at their feet blocked their destruction.
For eleven years the Christians were prohibited to visit the rubbles on the
site and were not allowed in to pray in these ruins. It
was only some years later that the Christians could rebuild their sanctuary on
the site. This was due to a peace treaty between the Byzantine emperor
Argyropulos and the successor of al-Hakim in which the reconstruction of the
Holy Sepulchre basilica was stipulated. Works started under emperor Constantine
When the imperial architects arrived in Jerusalem they concluded that it was impossible to restore the whole Constantinian structure. So they
opted to keep only the Anastasis with a large apse towards the East and various
small chapels in the area of the Cloister-garden and the Martyrium. These
works were carried out between 1042 and 1048. In this reconstruction the
eastern Atrium, the Martyrium and the Cloister-garden vanished! And with the
restoration of the Anastasis and of the bishop's seat the beauty of the direct
lighting from the sun was lost forever!
Notwithstanding the changes the new set-up provided also some works of
splendor. Mosaics covered the walls and the dome. The Russian abbot Daniel
visited Jerusalem in 1106-1107 and left this description: "The Church of the
Resurrection is of a circular form having twelve monolithic columns and six
pillars. Its floor is made of beautiful marble slabs.
It has six entrances and
tribunes with 12 columns. Lively mosaics of the holy prophets are under the
ceiling, over the tribune. The altar is surmounted by a mosaic image of
Christ. In the main altar one can see the mosaic of the Exhaltation of Adam. In
the apse the Ascension of Christ. The Annunciation occupies the two pillars
next to the altar. The dome of the church is not closed by a stone vault but is
made up of wooden beams in a truss form. In this way the Church has an opening
at the top. The Holy Sepulchre stands under this open dome..."
The pilgrim
Daniel saw mosaics in the Chapel of the Crucifixion on Golgotha. He
visited the chapel of the "Prison of Christ", that of the "Finding of the
Cross" and the chapel dedicated to Jesus' apparition to his mother to the north
of the Anastasis.
Columns from the Constantinian Basilica buried under the floor of the Basilica

BEAUFORT, S.C. -- One South Carolina solicitor is advocating a paperless court system.
The Beaufort Gazette reports that 14th Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone wants to move to an electronic case management system that would make the judicial process virtually paperless from arrest to verdict.
A computer-based system would eliminate rooms filled with case files and hours spent copying court documents. Stone says that, for example, the evidence from a murder trial last October consisted of four crates of evidence as well as two more crates of jury information that has to be stored.
Stone expects to choose soon between two providers to archive old case files electronically.
Stone says the archive system would cost about $90,000 initially. The costs, he said, would come from drug money seized across the circuit, Stone said. He hopes the counties in the circuit would then pay the yearly maintenance costs of about $90,000.
The 14th Circuit is comprised of Beaufort County in addition to Allendale, Hampton, Colleton and Jasper counties.
Stone said there are rooms full of leftover paper files and photos from previous cases around the circuit that have to be kept in the event of appeals. Physical evidence like guns and other items are kept by the law enforcement agencies that made the arrest in a case, said Daniel Brownstein, a spokesman for the solicitor's office.
Stone says the electronic case-management system will also speed preparation for trials allowing evidence and documents to be shared quickly by computer between prosecutors and defense attorneys.
He says defense attorneys would use a password to get access to a site containing trial documents. When the files are accessed, he said, the time it was accessed and by whom would be recorded.
Stone said a time stamp would help eliminate the possibility that a defense attorney did not see files or evidence, something that could make the evidence inadmissible during trial.

Catch Bimal Roy's rare works
Unglamorously titled as Tins For India, a short film talks about the omnipresent aluminium tins in Bengal. The short film tells you how differently tins can be used — as a container to draw water, to store kerosene and rations at stores and home and the sheets can work a roof for humble dwellings. The film, which focuses on something as commonplace as tins, was shot by Bimal Roy, in 1941, two years before the release of his first feature film. Bimal Roy was then a documentary film-maker, known for his incisive work. One of his short films showing the plight of people in the times of Bengal famine was banned by the British government.
Tins for India was screened to a select audience, marking the beginning of Bimal Roy centenary celebrations. This was followed by rare footage of Bimal Roy's last unfinished film, Amrit ke Khoj. Discovering the footage, his son Joy Bimal Roy culled out a 10-minute film, Images of Kumbh, blending in visuals captured by his father in Allahabad. Shot poetically in black and white, the pictorial journey is magical when combined with melody of the era. These two short films, and Bimal Roy Doesn't Live Here Anymore, a film on Godiwala, the heritage structure that housed the auteur and his family, will be screened at Kalakriti Art Gallery daily, during the week-long centenary celebrations.
Also on view are a collection of photos, taken by Bimal Roy during his extensive travels, aptly complemented by Ikebana flower arrangements by Rekha Reddy. The exhibition is on till January 31.
Keywords: Bimal Roy, centenary, filmmaker, Tins for India, photography, photo exhibition, Amrit ke Khoj, Bimal Roy Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Thota Tharrani's love for Western classical music shines forth in 'Vivaldi's 4 Seasons'
For Thota Tharrani, art always embraces drama, be it in cinema or in the art gallery. Showcasing his recent works, 'Vivaldi's 4 Seasons' is the logical continuation of his 'Symphony' series, which saw its beginnings in the late 1970s.
Tharrani had experienced the grandeur of Western classical music while on a printmaking scholarship at Atelier-17 in Paris in 1977. He was so enamoured with it that he attempted to learn the violin for a while. Although he did not succeed in the endeavour, he managed to sustain a passion for the music and translate it into another art form, namely the visual.
Earlier exhibitions have seen him attempt to visualise some celebrated works of Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt and Tchaikovsky among others.
Here, Antonio Vivaldi's celebrated 'Le quattro stagioni', commonly known as the Four Seasons, a set of four violin concertos composed in 1723, comes to life.
Nature and music may be illustrated through so many colours — through the vibrancy of shrill pink and scarlet, the sophistication of black, grey, white and royal purple and the sombre elegance of brown, ochre and yellow. All these colours are loosely, but deftly, bound together with lines of red, black, gold or blue.
While the earlier renditions of the 'Symphony' series had elements such as numbers and checkerboard patterns, this time, Tharrani has limited his expression to line and colour. His paintings may be seen as related to the abstraction of Vasily Kandinsky's 'compositions' and yet, at the same time, different, in that here, line is controlled, and to a strong measure practised.
Textured work
His employment of the abstract expressionist style of painting to visually communicate the feel of Italian baroque classical music is pertinent. The many-hued textured background of the canvas takes on sweepingly bold lines that are perfectly manoeuvred, metaphorically alluding to every musical note being in place.
Colours embody the changing seasons, with the shimmer of metallic colours resonating the piquant notes of the violin. The iridescent acrylic paints are blended with gel to achieve a glossy surface.
The movements in allegro are mirrored in the quick spontaneity of the lines, while changes in pace reverberate through the paintings with staccato notes expressed by short, choppy lines.
The texture of baroque music is present in every canvas where Tharrani has created a visual expression of the aural experience, a musical master piece translated into a painterly composition. He works on many canvases simultaneously, creating his paintings while listening to the violin concertos, so that his muse enters every frame.
Tharrani simply states that what he paints is indeed "an impression of what I hear in the music."
The paintings are on show at Forum Art Gallery, V Street, Padmanabha Nagar, Adyar until December 27.

Dog-Friendly Great American /\ Road TripTMby Tara Kain, Editor-DogFriendly.com
In this newsletter and in the many upcoming newsletters, I will tell you about the great dog-friendly places we found across the United States. Some were hidden and there were even more not-so-hidden jewels that welcomed our pooch. From the very beginning of our trip, we were prepared to be limited in the amount of attractions and places we could see because of our four-legged family member. Along the way, we became pleasantly and sometimes excitedly surprised at the places that welcomed our whole family, including Toby. Also in this series of newsletters, I will include some scenery photos that we took throughout the country.

Released: Feb 01st, 1999
Running Time: 138
Director: Sean Michaels
Company: SMP
Distribution Companies: Elegant Angel Productions
Blair, Guy DiSilva, Sheila (I), Gina (I), Kayla (I), Santino Lee, Ursula, Alex (I), Sean Michaels, Alice (I), Bobbi (I), Amber (I), Victoria (I), Shanna (I), Xtacee, Agi, Julian St. Jox, India (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
This is far better than most autopilot b.j. vids; interracial sex at its best.
If there was ever a time to use the phrase, "Sean Michaels is the man," it's definitely now. He is the suave black cocksman that the girls are gaga for. He is cool and gentle, no crazed egomaniac shit going on, and his video Blown Away is right up there with the best in contemporary porno.
Michaels explains that the title has to do with pussy-eating and blowjobs, but there are a few scenes where the large dark planet hovers over the female landscape and pounds away. Bobbi Bliss is one such visitor, who is fucked to Mars and back -- but not before she sucks Michaels seriously deep. Bliss is the only girl in this production of new and seldom-seen talent who can deep throat the long warrior. However, Gina, Victoria, Amber, and Kayla (whose tits are bigger than her head) come close. In separate segments they all get down on their knees and wolf away like starved animals. Every scene in the video is hot -- or at least the ones where M performs. His paunchy male co-stars are far less dynamic, consequently, the girls perform with far less abandon. The exception might be a perfectly reasonable scene with Julian St. Jox and saliva-bearing Blair. She gets her salivary gland going and attacks with sloppy grace.

Should You Just Add Your Kid to Your Bank Account?
Friday, December 16, 2011
Once again Unique Estate Law brings you a financial topic from Jay Dworsky on this Financial Friday. Today Jay explains disablity insurance.
Disability insurance pays benefits when you are unable to earn a living because you are sick or injured. Most disability policies pay you a benefit that replaces only a percentage of your normal earned income when you are unable to work. Very simply, that's what it does.
Why do you want disability insurance?
The probability of you ever being disabled for longer than three months is much greater than your chances of dying prematurely, because of the advancements in medicine can keep the most desperate of situations alive. The likelihood of suffering a disability by age 50 is 25% (Source: 1985 Commissioner's Individual Disability Table A).
Think about what would happen if you suffered an injury or illness and couldn't work for days, months or even years. Maybe your single, do you have the savings or other means to keep paying the mortgage, groceries and medical bills. If you are married, can you rely solely on your spouse's income? It's highly likely if you're married there are children or other dependents. With that information, one might come to the conclusion there is more than enough evidence to want the protection of disability insurance. However, as human beings we have the greatest capacity to rationalize why we make the decisions we make all day long, minute by minute, second by second and moment to moment. It's actually quite amazing.
The fact is our health is the most important asset we have going for us. We need to protect our health as it is our lifeblood and earning potential. We can take all the steps to healthy living, self-preservation and the like but that may not prove to be enough, life happens. Our last line of defense is to place rubber-bumpers and safety nets underneath our plan with disability insurance, i.e. income protection.
Disability Insurance and Business Owners
If you own a business, disability insurance can help protect you in several ways. You can protect your own income with a policy on yourself. You can also purchase a policy on key persons to reduce the negative (or devastating) impact that the person's disability may have on the business. Lastly, you can buy a disability policy on a business partner which could enable you to buy his or her interest in the event that he or she cannot work.
Further, if you are an employee of a company, you might have access to group disability or you can always get coverage privately. The thing to do is get educated, contact Jay to discuss any of your questions and concerns.

2. Task Order Title: Ground Theater Air Control System (GTACS) Support
3. Background: This Task Order will implement the efforts begun under Delivery Order 131 and continued under Delivery Order 226, in support of the GTACS System Program Office (SPO). This Task Order is required to perform the specific tasks listed in paragraph 6.0 for support of the USAF GTACS SPO. The USAF GTACS SPO requires a variety of automation support services and qualified personnel with the ability to upgrade and support the evolving and demanding end-user software and devices that are constantly added to the complex automation environment.
The keystone of the Ground Theater Air Control System (GTACS) is the Modular Control Equipment (MCE), an automated computer-based information system operating in a proprietary environment that provides a variety of automated information functions such as aircraft surveillance, flight follow, control, and communication functions within the GTACS. MCE is part of a Joint Program with the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The USMC equivalent of the MCE is the Tactical Air Operations Module (TAOM). The Marine Corps TAOM is included in the current core of the Block I Global Command and Control System GCCS)--Unified Build and designated as a Category II -- Legacy System (non Core Application). Eventhough MCE and TAOM are nearly identical, MCE is identified as an "other" system in the GCCS environment and not a legacy or migration system. However, in all MCE functions we still intend to use the GCCS (non Core Application) and migrate towards a Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) Common Operating Environment (COE), capable of interfacing with the GCCS compliant application software . The GTACS GCCS migration towards the DII COE will be a joint effort with the USMC.
MCE has numerous upgrades, interfaces, and integration efforts underway with the goal of meeting DISA guidelines and consistent with their application in GCCS, Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS), Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and Theater Battle Management (TBM). One upgrade is the MCE operator console unit which is targeted to be a common work station, which can be removed from MCE and used in various applications including incorporation into GCCS COE as a core application. The MCE migration strategy involves replacing the AN/AYK-14 computer with commercial processors and replacing the proprietary Digital Data Bus (DDB) with a commercial Local Area Network (LAN). Also planned is the replacement of GCCS software with software being developed for the Regional/Sector Air Operations Center (R/SAOC) program..
The GTACS Combat Information Center (CIC) is targeted as an application for the common work station. The CIC could become a GCCS based MCE using the common work station, interfacing with the MCE closed architecture over a gateway. Additionally, the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) capability would be included in the CIC in conjunction with a front end TADIL message processor. This would allow for easy transition to a common computer (eliminating the current MCE AN/AYK-14 computer and its associated logistics support costs) and opening up the MCE architecture for use with GCCS. The applications within MCE and the GTACS for migrating towards the GCCS are numerous. As the MCE Migration Strategy Report is revised and updated, more GTACS/MCE applications for migration to GCCS will be identified, documented, and implemented.
4. Objectives:
a. To revise the GTACS migration strategy as a result of GTACS restructuring and implement software/hardware changes for transitioning the MCE from a closed architecture legacy system to an open architecture that uses a common operating environment The Systems/Requirements Analysis, Program/Project Management, System Configuration Management, Life Cycle Management/Life Cycle Support Analysis, and Software Management support to the GTACS SPO will be provided by on-site Program Management and technical support personnel at Sacramento Air Logistics Center (SM-ALC), McClellan AFB, CA, Langley AFB, VA, Electronic Systems Center (ESC), Hanscom AFB, MA, and at Litton Data Systems Division (DSD), Agoura Hills , CA, (the MCE developer and prime contractor).
b. To determine what affect that current scheduled upgrades and modifications to the MCE will have on the migration objectives and developed strategies. Integration of current system scheduled upgrades and on-the-job training to receiving users of the MCE and MCE interfacing systems/equipment such as Automated Air Tasking Order (AATO), MCE SIM, Modern Tracking System (MTS), JTIDS Module (JM), and Data Link Translator. MCE upgrades including software, firmware, and hardware modifications shall be provided by a GTACS Site Support Team operating out of Langley AFB, VA. Depending on the scope of the upgrade the GTACS SST will also provide informal, i.e. OJT type, operator and maintenance training as required.
c. To determine and document what affect the planned and executed upgrades/improvements to MCE will have on migration objectives and developed strategies. The necessary Systems Requirements Analyses, Software Quality Control and Life Cycle Support Analyses will be provided.

Introduction date: | Source of introduction: | Extirpation date: |
c 1985 | Unknown | 2000-2007 (c20 years) |
History: | ||
This deliberate release of the green-backed form of the Wall lizard was first recorded in 1985. The colony is based at a disused quarry not far from Overton village, nr Ludlow. It is beleived that the population size of this colony has never reached three figures, even at its peak in the 1990s. Animals were reported as present in 1999, but only in very small numbers. A survey of the site in April 2007 yielded no sightings, despite good conditions and at an ideal time of year. Other reptile species were observed. It is feared that this colony no longer exists, or comprises very small numbers. |
Status: | ||
This fragile colony may no longer exist. One possible cause for extirpation could be the extensive vegetation clearance carried out on the site by the Forestry Comission at the end of 2004. |
The Law: | ||
This colony is likely to have been illegally established, as Part 1 Schedule 9 listed animals were probably deliberately introduced into the wild. The introduction is believed to have been around 1985, after the enforcement of the Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981). |
Habitat: | ||
Ludlow quarry face - Ideal habitat More typical habitat within Mortimer Forest. |

IMPORTANT BUG FIX!!!! If you are having trouble where the end game "Return to Menu" button doesn't work and you are using an ad blocker of some kind, try turning off the ad blocker. That seems to resolve the issue. END OF IMPORTANT BUG FIX!!!!
You are a bear, a strong winter storm has come and destroyed your den. You must wander the land looking for a new home or a new life.
This game was made for the second Newgrounds Game Jam. That means we made it in 3 days from concept to submission on Newgrounds. We had a good time working on it and it turned out really well!
Developer Quotes:
TurkeyOnAStick: "Hope you like the fruits of our 3 day labours, and cheers for the great team"
Jacksmack: "I need more caffeine! STAT! "
ChartsOverHearts: "Well then. thank you for all your work. Im happy that we got to work together!"
We were suppose to have a fourth on the team but his laptop died and he was not able to participate. Sorry Night-Mare... Hope you get that fixed.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Pretty Cute
It was cute, and I enjoyed trying to find the medals.. but that's it. Sometimes I got bored doing the same thing over and over.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I loved it!
I found the game very enjoyable, and found my self barely making it to a shelter several times.
I was able to find all the areas but the city. I also recognized where you got the Secret Achievement from, I always loved that game as a kid, but could never get past that stupid monster D=
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Molson Golden Bowling Challenge
Rose Bowl Lanes, Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Aug 2-7, 1985
Young Finds Challenge Golden
Billy Young Jr. was so shaken he could hardly speak after he won the $125,000 Molson Golden Bowling Challenge by upending Bobby Jacks, 236-226. For Jacks, the loss was especially frustrating after the veteran lefty had struggled through two previous winning games to make it to the championship finale. Jacks needed a strike to close the gap on Young on that last ball, but he left a 4-7 pin leave and it was all over. Jacks waited one game until Jim Winklepleck ousted Mike Edwards, 212-169, and Jacks then came from behind to knock out Winklepleck, 199-182, with four closing strikes. Jim Tilton, who opened the tournament with 23 strikes and an 854 series, then swung into action and lost to Jacks, 220-186, setting the stage for the title game. CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND
PLAYOFF RESULTS - Winklepleck defeated Edwards, 212-169; Jacks defeated Winklepleck, 199-182 Jacks defeated Tilton, 220-186; and in the championship match, Young defeated Jacks, 236-226. 42-GAME TOTALS OTHER CASHERS * - Match play alternate. # - Jim Tilton and Norm Duke rolled 300 games ($100 each). 18-game qualifying leader -Jim Tilton, 4293. 24th place - Mark Baker, 3845. 53rd place - George Pappas, 3734. @ - non-PBA member. PRO-AM CASHERS - Jim Tilton, Pete McCordic, John DiLutis, Norm Duke, Chuck Mogavero and Ron Williams ($50 each). |
