Nice knowing you
Yes it's called taking an interest in your girlfriend. I bet you don't let her forget your birthday
well her bicthing about it for the next twenty years should cure you
My ex was terrible about remembering birthdays. He never remembered mine or any of the kids birthdays. But on the other hand he never forgot Valentine's day and always made that day a really big deal. So for all the years we were married it was nice knowing that I was his sweetheart even if he couldn't remember my birthday. Actually the older I got the more I was willing to forget my birthday myself.
No! You made your bed, now sleep on the couch.
Technology is wonderful, I only have to put it in my phone once and it reminds me every year.
Good Sex XD jk

I seriously doubt there is a cure
Put on the calendar or in your planner. If you are on Facebook and your girlfriend has her birthday showing then you should be getting a reminder of her birthday. It would be on the side of the screen...on the day of.
ummmmm you done bad, I think banishment is best
date someone whos birthday is the same as yours?
Lots and lots of extreme grovelling
No. All good answers so far, but fogwander said it the best!

Existing Granite Countertop, undermount sink?
I have an existing granite countertop in my home, with a normal top mount kitchen sink. Ideally, I would like to move to an undermount sink, but the granite under the sink is not finished. It's pretty rough cut - saw marks, etc. Has anyone heard of finishing the sink cut out for granite post-installation? I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but not sure if anyone has heard of this getting done. Thanks!

Pinnacle Airlines flight attendants overwhelmingly ratify concessionary contract
Pinnacle Airlines flight attendants reluctantly voted for a concessionary contract to help their employer survive bankruptcy, their union said Tuesday.
The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents more than 1,500 employees, said a tentative agreement was approved by 71.27 percent of voting members.
If and when cuts are imposed on other employee groups, the attendants would be on the short end of $6.4 million in concessions. The agreement requires approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York."Ratifying the tentative agreement does not mean we like it," said Terry French, AFA's president at Pinnacle. The agreement preserves an enforceable contract, hourly wage rates, affordable health care and job protections, he said.
"Still, the deck is stacked against the front-line workers who make Pinnacle fly," French added. "The bankruptcy ... process for workers essentially means having to pick your poison."
Pinnacle president and CEO John Spanjers called it a major step forward in the company's effort to trim costs as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
"We greatly appreciate the constructive efforts of the AFA leadership throughout this process and are pleased that our flight attendants voted in favor of the new agreement," he said.
Spanjers said the vote "represents positive progress for Pinnacle and a major step forward in positioning the company to emerge from our restructuring with a cost structure necessary to compete in the regional airline marketplace. We appreciate the willingness of the AFA and its members to work together with Pinnacle for the benefit of the entire company and all of our employees."
Still unresolved is a Pinnacle motion asking Bankruptcy Court to reject the company's pilot agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents 2,700 pilots at Pinnacle. Pilots have said the company is seeking nearly $60 million in concessions from them.
Pinnacle spokesman Joe Williams said, "Despite our best efforts, we have not reached a consensual agreement with ALPA that would restructure our labor costs and position Pinnacle for long term viability."

The film industry had its fair share of controversies and tragedies from splits to hugs to Twitter wars. Here's the lowdown on top headliners of this year...
Jiah Khan's suicide
The sudden death of 25-year-old Jiah Khan (acted in Nishabd opposite Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan in Ghajini) shocked not just the industry but the nation as well when her mother alleged that Aditya Pancholi's son Suraj had abetted her to kill herself. This led to Suraj's arrest and subsequent incarceration. After spending over 20 days in jail, Suraj was released on bail. He is debuting in Salman Khan's home production Hero. The case is still going on.
Take your pic
When Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, the good friends couple, went to Ibiza for a Spanish holiday little did they know that they would become the centre of a huge controversy. A magazine released bikini-clad Katrina and carefree Ranbir prancing around on a beach. The photos went viral and Kat went ballistic even releasing a statement and calling the whole episode as a breach of privacy.
The famous hug
It became the talk of the town for a week when friends-turned-foes Shah Rukh and Salman met at an iftaar party and hugged each other. The two actors had a bitter fallout during Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008, and had made sure that they avoided meeting each other at public events. While many speculated whether this meant that the two had finally patched up, Salman clarified it on Koffee With Karan, as a goodwill gesture.
The 48-year-old virgin
Salman Khan made headlines again when a group of fishermen alleged that the actor and his father Salim Khan had forcefully tried to throw them out of his sea-facing bungalow in Bandra, since their boats and fishing nets on the beach, blocked their sea view. He grabbed eyeballs when he said he was a virgin on KWK. While most people felt it was a sarcastic remark, it became the talk of the town with even young actors like Ranveer Singh later making fun of it on KWK again.
Sunny-KRK's Twitter War
Actor-producer Kamaal R Khan claimed that Sunny Leone had made the controversial statement, "Rape is not a crime, it's just a surprise," on Twitter. The infuriated actress filed an FIR against KRK denying the statement and claimed her account had been hacked for a few minutes.
"I am not one to make a loose comment on rape ... It is disgusting for someone to make a joke out of this," she clarified. The matter got resolved when she threatened to drag the case to the cyber police.
No kidding
What was supposed to be a cause for celebration and joy for Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri, turned out to be a nightmare for the superstar. The couple had their third child, AbRam, through surrogacy but soon thereafter the star faced allegations that he had gone for an illegal pre-natal sex determination test. A social activist filing a complaint against the couple made matters worse but the municipal corporation gave a clean chit to the star couple after launching an enquiry.
Trouble in paradise
While there were rumours of trouble in paradise, the news of separation of Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan came as a surprise to many fans and well wishers. Things got murkier when one of the reasons for the split was named as Sussanne's alleged close friendship with Mehr Jessia's husband Arjun Rampal (a story he later clarified saying it was not true).
Jail and parole
Sanjay Dutt was awarded a five-year imprisonment in March by the Supreme Court for possessing illegal firearms. Dutt was sentenced in April but was granted a month-long reprieve to complete his next projects as the fate of several Bollywood movies (worth hundreds of crores of rupees) hung in the balance after the March ruling. He went to jail in May. However, Dutt drew a lot of flak when last month he was granted parole of 30 days, even though he was out on furlough some time ago, because of his wife Manaayata's illness.
Cricket again!
Shilpa and Raj Kundra were dragged into controversy when Siddharth Trivedi, a Rajasthan Royals player, mentioned Kundra's business partner Umesh Goenka's name in IPL spot fixing. Kundra has 42 per cent stake in the steel business of Goenka. While being questioned Goenka informed the Delhi police that not only Raj but Shilpa also was involved in the IPL 2013 betting. An enraged Shilpa took to Twitter and wrote, "For those who care, my apparent involvement in betting is complete nonsense and I have never bet on any cricket match ever. Truth will prevail."
Mallika of controversy
"India is a hypocritical society where women are at the bottom... I made a conscious decision to divide my time between Los Angeles and India so when I enjoy the social freedom in America and go back to India, which is so regressive for women," Mallika Sherawat's video interview with Variety at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival evoked a storm of protest back in India. From social networking websites to media the actress got verbally lashed wherever she went but a defiant Mallika stuck to her stance.
Oscar ki race
When The Good Road was chosen as India's best foreign film for the Oscars over Ritesh Batra's The Lunchbox a war of words ensued. The Film Federation of India which decides the Indian entry for the Oscars, and Batra got into a battle over the selection of The Good Road with FFI secretary general Supran Sen demanding an unconditional apology from the director for his 'unsavoury comments' against the Federation and its appointed jury. Though Batra initially remained defiant, he later tendered the apology.

Citizens sets annual Katrina-Rita bond assessment
Homeowners will pay $54 on average next year on their insurance policies to cover bond payments being made by state-backed Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp., which had to borrow nearly $1 billion to pay claims from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The board voted Thursday to impose a 3.74 percent assessment on all commercial and personal policyholders in the state starting Jan. 1.
The fee is paid by all commercial and personal property policyholders — not just those insured by Citizens — to help pay off nearly $1 billion in bonds sold in 2006 to help the company pay claims after the 2005 hurricanes.
The assessment can be claimed as a credit on the state income tax.

Kroger CEO says consumer spending still 'fragile'
Kroger (KR) CEO W. Rodney McMullen says the company will continue to spend on stores. McMullen said it will be "fascinating" to see how Whole Foods (WFM) customers react to its plans for a smaller, lower-cost format. Kroger's CEO says food inflation has been tracking a 1%-2% and the company expects it to continue at that level. McMullen says Kroger looks at "just about anything that is available" in terms of M&A, but doesn't bid on many things. McMullen is speaking on CNBC.

American Express has $850M revenue opportunity with Plenti, says Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank estimates the coalition loyalty/rewards program Plenti represents a $750M-$850M annual revenue opportunity for American Express (AXP) over the next 3-5 years. Earnings accretion will take time, but returns on equity are likely "very high," Deutsche says in a research note. The firm believes Plenti is an example of how Amex is leveraging its strengths to mitigate the loss of Costco (COST). It thinks Plenti's next program supplier needs to be a grocery chain, and pegs Whole Foods (WFM) as a good candidate. Deutsche keeps a Buy rating on American Express with a $90 price target.

The man with the killer eight-pack abs
Spanish-Moroccan model and personal trainer Abdel Abdelkader has the best bod in town right now, thanks to a serious workout schedule
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Along Edsa, you've probably noticed the billboard of a handsome hunk with killer abs, tantalizing you in Hang Ten jeans or SM casuals.
In another billboard, the same guy looks suave in a Memo blazer and slacks. Born in Spain to Moroccan parents, Abdel Abdelkader represents the current ideal in male models—the dark-haired, manly sophisticate with well-defined musculature.
Abdel started modeling in Spain when he vied for the Men's Health cover competition. Out of 300 contestants, he ended up as one of the five finalists. He then tried his luck in China, where he stayed for three years. As his visa was about to expire, he wanted to go to Thailand, but his contacts took too long to respond.
Last February, he took a risk by flying to Manila and knocking on agency's doors. He works as a freelance model and as a personal trainer to exclusive clients. Filipinos gave him the monicker "Abs" for his chiseled, eight-pack abdominals and 32-inch waistline.
A knockout midsection like Abdel's is all about being born with less body fat, and maintained by bodybuilding workouts.
Overloading the abs alone or any specific muscle group for that matter won't dramatically reduce body fat or shred the muscles. Abdel believes in training the abdominals, the way one would work out any other body part. Exercise physiologists maintain that core strength is developed as a result of a total body workout or sports training.
Etched abs
At eight years old, Abdel was developing the etched abs, but he was too skinny. His personal trainer taught him the right skills, and imparted discipline and the four basics of fitness: balanced diet, adequate rest (naps are a must), correct workout, and hydration. From 63 kilos (138 lbs), he gained 20 kilos (44 lbs). When he joined the army for two years, he went on boot camp training, which included a daily 12-km run. At 6'2", he has now bulked up to 87 kilos (192 lbs).
Today he's down to 83 kg or 183 lbs with a body fat of 6.7 percent. To get that ripped body, Abdel works out for almost five hours a day. He does 90 minutes of cardiovascular exercises in the morning; 20 minutes each of spinning, running and elliptical; and 40 minutes of abdominal exercises—leg lifts and variations of crunches.
Instead of counting repetitions, he performs them until muscle failure. For core strengthening, he holds the plank for four and a half minutes or until he feels the burn, and the side plank for five minutes to keep love handles at bay.
"I don't use weights on my abs. I'll get bulky. I want to get flat and well-defined," he says.
In the evening, he hits Gold's Gym for circuit training and ring boxing with his trainer. He warms up with shadow boxing, then does circuit training. In 15 minutes, he does five cycles of his routine, which utilizes body weight and moderate weights: push-ups for the chest and arms; pull-ups for mass and strength building; side-to-side pull-ups; squat-to-shoulder press for overall conditioning; front raises with kettlebells for the chest and mid-shoulder muscles; tricep dips, bicep curls, and abdominal crunches.
"I try to beat my time of two minutes and 20 seconds," he says. After a minute-long rest, he repeats the circuit.
His abdominal workout is only for the tenacious, since they're done on the bar. Abdel does variations of the pull-ups—with knee raises, the more challenging straight leg lifts, and the knee twists for the obliques. To further challenge himself, he does the pull-ups with a 40-lb. dumb bell squeezed between his legs. For his back, he does the back extensions with a heavy plate. When he wants to develop his pectorals, he can bench press up to 250 pounds.
"I vary my programs. I don't want to get big, just sculpted. That's why I do a lot of cardio," says Abdel.
Cooling down
The 26-year-old model also values stretching and cooling down. Stretching maintains his flexibility, enhances his performance, and increases the joint's range of motion. It also lengthens his muscles and improves his posture, thereby emphasizing his trim musculature. This is why he doesn't have the hunched look of many bodybuilders.
"I don't work out the shoulders too much. Others look like bulldogs," he says.
Abdel keeps a healthy diet. While most people would get their caffeine kick in the morning, he starts the day by brewing a concoction of green tea, ginseng and peppermint which burns fat and cleanses the system. He learned to drink tea for health in China. He takes the hard-core Muscle Tech Nitrotech whey protein for breakfast and dinner, and his tea between meals.
Abdel is singleminded in his fitness routine. "I focus. I don't think of anything else. I just have fun. In the past six years, I never got bored. I'm not the kind who goes to the gym to talk. I motivate myself each time I go to the gym."
Next month, he plans to go back to the five-day split workout which consists of lifting heavy weights with less repetitions.
Abdel has been sharing his experience with others. In the Philippines, he's been training co-model Alex Vega Hidalgo and Tatler's editor in chief Anton San Diego. When Hidalgo started, he couldn't last five pull-ups on the bar. After three months, he easily performs 16 pull-ups which, by the way, is a test of manly strength.
After 11 sessions, San Diego's clothes started to loosen. At the start, he could only hold the plank for 10 seconds. At this writing, he can hold the plank for three minutes and hopes to reach his trainer's average.
As a trainer, Abdel drills his clients with military discipline. "I'm not here for the money. I'm just wasting my time and the client's time. I'm tough with them. With me, you get results."
On San Diego, he applies the carrot-and-stick approach. "He competes against me and sees how much I do," says Abdel. "Other clients are just yakking on the phone or sitting around. He really trains."
Can ordinary mortals get an etched abdomen or, at least, a taut one? Only if the excess fat layer has been considerably reduced through these essentials: "Diet, sleep, hydration and working right," says Abdel. "It's not the number of crunches. You have to feel the muscle contraction. I can teach the client how to do it correctly, but they have to find the point where they can find it. That's when they get results."

the Census Bureau decided to make the margins of error much more "in your face" in ACS products; they are included in every table. He wondered whether margins of error were an issue in working with the 2000 data or whether error has become an issue for media users simply because they are so much more prominent in the ACS products. Fessenden answered that he thought that the different style of presentation in the ACS products is a big part of the concern; he reiterated that he and his colleagues have to be mindful of the margins of error in deciding what to print and how to format finished products. Patricia Becker (APB Associates) added, and clarified, that there were margins of error for long-form-sample estimates—that the number of cases for geographic areas were "buried in the back" of the products so that the standard errors could be calculated, with a lot of digging. She commented that "there were errors in the long-form data, particularly for small population groups or small geographic areas, and they are every bit as bad as [for] the areas in the ACS. Most reporters didn't know about them; demographers did." She suggested for the record that the margins of error on the long-form estimates in Campbell's analysis might be much more favorable to the ACS.
Campbell Gibson (U.S. Census Bureau, retired) commented that it is good that the ACS makes the margins of error prominent in its products, but suggested that two points were missing from the discussion about comparing the ACS to past decennial censuses. One is that—as he understood it—the original sample size for the ACS was supposed to be about 3 percent of households per year, in which case a 5-year collection would more closely approximate the census long-form sample. But, for budgetary reasons, the ACS sample is about half that level. The other point (and, partially, a modest defense for suppressing the standard errors on the long-form products) is that the long-form samples yielded estimates only once every 10 years—a time span so long that changes in variables like percentage of foreign-born in an area could have changed so markedly that the question of whether the difference was significant from census to census was "kind of passé." But the annual availability of estimates from the ACS naturally creates the temptation to compare data from one year to the next and—particularly for small areas—changes in some variables might be much more subtle.
Andrew Beveridge (Social Explorer, Inc; see Section 7–C) said that he wanted to add to this discussion his view on the ACS products' presentation of margins of error in cases where there are very small numbers or proportions for a particular group or area. In those instances, the Census Bureau's approach has been to publish margins of error that allow for negative counts or proportions. He suggested that the general ACS data products might be improved if the Bureau implemented the methodology it used in generating a special tabulation of languages spoken in households to determine requirements for alternate-language voting materials under the Voting Rights Act (see Chapter 7). In that work, the Bureau produced Bayesian estimates that directly borrow strength

Last week the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted to revise its long-standing guidance to employers on how to appropriately evaluate job applicants' criminal histories in pre-employment screening.
It's a significant revision because an estimated 65 million Americans have some type of criminal record and the EEOC had not issued a revision since 1987 when it first formally recognized the "disparate impact" pre-hire screens has on African-Americans and Latinos. In fact, the NELP has estimated that up to 65 million U.S. adults face potential job restrictions because of past criminal offenses, including 1 in 17 white men, 1 in 7 hispanic men, and 1 in 3 black men.
To pass muster, job denials based on criminal convictions must be shown to be "job-related and consistent with business necessity," according to EEOC guidelines. This means the employer must show that it considered three factors: the nature and gravity of the offense, the amount of time since the conviction and the relevance of the offense to the type of the job that's being sought.
That standard has stood for 25 years, but a 2007 U.S. Appeals Court ruling found legal shortcomings, including a lack of legal analysis and factual research to support the standard. Those problems, and the increased availability of criminal-record data online, prompted the commission to update its guidance to employers.
Carol Miaskoff, an EEOC assistant legal counsel, said the new guidelines reasserted "fundamental legal positions the commission staked out over 20 years ago, providing more in-depth legal analysis with updated factual research." The new guidance addresses those concerns, providing national criminal data on African-Americans and Hispanics that shows "criminal-record exclusions have a disparate impact based on race and national origin," Miaskoff said.
While this is definitely a step in the right direction, a lack of clarity remains as to how and whether a pre-job criminal screen can be actionable racial discrimination under Title VII. That's because while the EEOC warns that such practices can and often do have a potentially illegal-discriminatory effect it stopped short of calling pre-employment criminal screens inherently racially discriminatory.
But, the revisions do provide clearer examples for employers of practices that could violate Title VII, such as firing an already-hired employee purely on the basis of background checks, or automatically disqualifying all employees with criminal records in an online application. It also advises employers to inform potential employees when ex-offender status is being weighed against them and offers suggestions for how to consider and evaluate extenuating circumstances.
Along with numerous examples of policies that meet the "job-related" and "business necessity" standard, the new guidance analyzes the legal genesis of these standards in light of Supreme Court and federal appellate court case law.
Even if an employer can show that a job denial based on a criminal record met the "business necessity" standard, a plaintiff may prevail at trial if he or she can demonstrate that an employer refused to adopt "a less discriminatory but effective employment (screening) policy or practice," Miaskoff said.
In short, so long as our criminal justice system remains heavily skewed toward apprehending and punishing people of color, and so long as employers have the ability to screen out candidates based on criminal history, pre-employment screens will remain a racially-problematic practice. But at least now it's clear the EEOC has the issue on its radar.

This is an issue right now in Washington DC, requiring employers to check backgrounds only after they make a job offer. Three quarters of African American men in Washington DC have criminal records (The Examiner (seems like a right wing rag), December 20 2012)
If for one minute you think that someone without a criminal background would be less likely to be hired than someone with a criminal background, you must be living in a cave. The reason for incarceration, probation and fines is to pay for committing a crime. If someone serves their time and complies with all the conditions of their sentence, they deserve the opportunity to be self-supporting. Minimum wage does not allow one to be self-supporting. A person must have certain things like a roof over their head and some food to eat, and how about clothes to wear. You tell me how long you would make it on a net pay of $250 per week (if you're lucky).
Don't do the crime....
Does it not depend on the criminal act in hand? Should a convicted rapist that have been released be employed in a factory with a majority of female workers. Should a drunk driver, who has served his/her sentence, be allowed to drive a truck or bus? Should a drug dealer be employed at a hospital?
Some countries in Europe demand that anyone seeking employment to work with children, provide a statement from the criminal database. To become a taxi driver you can't have a criminal record that's not at least two years old (If you've committed a crime and you've served your time three years ago, you can get a permit, but it can also be denied).
Most transportation companies also require you to hand in a copy of your criminal records. Most people receive a page from the police after submitting a form to the legal authoroties and it's usually completely blank, meaning there are no convictions. It's not legal for them to require those papers, but if you don't they will deny you employment.
The EEOC's new guidelines will have a significant impact on employers. Pre-employ attorneys and compliance experts are working to provide answers to your questions about EEOC guidance changes. Visit http://portal.pre-employ.com/eeoc-report.php to get Pre-Employ's findings, analysis and direction on establishing best hiring practices based on the new EEOC Enforcement Guidance.
After a person has paid their "debt to society" it should be left behind them, so that they can actually go on with their lives. to have it continue to be held over their heads, classifies it as cruel and unusual punishment which is altogether illegal in this country.
After someone has been released from prison they should be able to work to support a family and not be discriminated against for something they did in the past and with a chance at a real life, probably wouldn't do again. After the debt is paid. there is no earthly reason why they should be prevented from having the right to vote in this nation's elections.
It's definitely time to make big changes in this country...
"If you have a criminal history that's your fault. You made someone pay the price for your actions now it's your turn to pay the price. Costly to you isn't it?
Yes it is, I was arrested in the mid 80's for drugs and paid for it with a decade out of my life so I guess you're right-it was costly. Since I've been out I resumed my education and finished the University of Maryland with a 4.0 and now run my own busness. I did this because I knew full good and well that despite my being convicted of a non violent crime that did not involve weapons or theft of property, I would be hamstrung when it came to seeking a job. We are told as a nation that incarceration is the atonement for a crime. Why then am I forced to pay for this discretion for the rest of my life? Why should I be denied a job if I'm better qualified? Additionally, I can't vote or buy a firearm to protect my home and family.
Yep, it was costly-but I paid the cost. However, I should not continue to be pay ad infinitum.
when people get arrested for crossing streets between lights...or arrested for standing in the street..like in prtests..the record will hurt them just as bad as if they did a real felony.
Considering that most of our incarcerated population is there because of drugs, I can see where they might not be hired to work in a pharmacy. But why can't they start as a clerk, or a mail room guy, or whatever, and be promoted as they prove themselves? You can't expect people to "rehabilitate themselves" if they can't get a job.
Of course, that is assuming that some jobs become available for people in general, soon...

just got doom3 :D (is something wrong?)
after about 8 near death experiences from attempting to drive 100MPH in my poor widdle jeep, i managed to get doom and make it home alive
when i got it, i must say, i was very disappointed in the textures. many places looked highly pixelated, even from a good distance of atleast 5 feet. i've looked at screenshots to check this to make sure it's not just me, and it doesn't seem to be. does anyone have more info on this? here's a screenshot for an example (i will get more if i need to).
also, if you know of a good program for converting .tga pictures to .jpg/.png, i'd really appreciate it (as you can see the one i'm using i only found as a trial, lol).
also, i'd like to point out that what makes this game look so excellent is the bumpmapping and the lighting... and even though i'm curious about the textures bit, i am very pleased with how this game looks and feels; i think the screenshots do not give it the glory you would experience from actually playing the game. i will try to get fraps and record a small video of some really insane lighting effects for those who haven't yet seen it

Green LanternStatus: DeceasedSpace Sector: 1415Sector Partner: Service pre-dates Sector PartnersHomeworld: Unknown Predecessor: UnknownSuccessor: UnknownBIOGRAPHY:Barin was a young soldier and brave as a part of a fighting unit. He was recruited for the Green Lantern Corps by Boodikka of Bellatrix. Although he would have been a credit to the Corps, Barin was not ready to fight unaided. He was found by Kilowog after he had been swarmed by space mongrels. The attack overwhelmed Barin, and he lapsed into a comatose state. The injured Green Lantern was brought to Oa, where he was connected to life support systems. During recovery, he believed himself to be the Green Lantern assigned by the Guardians of the Universe to guard the Gates of Hell. His mind replayed an endless battle against the demons. Since the destruction of Oa by Kyle Rayner, Barin had come into his own as an individual and as a Green Lantern Corpsman. He died either before or during the Sinestro Corps War as was memorialized within the Crypts of Oa.Blackest NightDuring the Blackest Night, Barin, along many other Fallen Lanterns was raised by a black power ring and became a Black Lantern.

"Sequestration" has forced the National Institutes of Health – the leading funder of biomedical research – to halt or cut funding to thousands of potentially groundbreaking research projects. On the 10th Anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project, we can't let the ongoing tug-of-war in Congress over spending priorities threaten the revolutionary work that is taking place in medical science. Quite the opposite, recent advances in science and medicine have the potential to reduce healthcare's drain on the federal budget and spur economic growth.

Because Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in southern Colorado, McDivitt Law Firm will be hosting its ongoing Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Pueblo West.
"We´ve helped a lot of people whose lives have been impacted by drunk driving, which is why we believe so strongly in our Safe and Sober program and want to keep the roads safe for everyone," said attorney Mike McDivitt, founder of McDivitt Law Firm. "In fact, we´ve covered the cost for more than 7,000 rides home since 2007."
One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Cab.
The Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program is for adults who have been drinking or who don´t have a safe way home. Rides will be available in Colorado Springs from 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 5, through 3 a.m., on Sunday, May 6.
For a free ride home, call one of the following cab companies and tell them your ride home is on McDivitt Law Firm:
- Colorado Springs
Call Yellow Cab of Colorado Springs at (719) 777-7777.
- Pueblo & Pueblo West
Call City Cab of Pueblo at (719) 543-2525.
Rides are provided to an individual´s residence–not to other drinking locations. Due to the high number of ride requests on Cinco de Mayo, rides cannot be guaranteed for everyone who calls; however, every attempt will be made to accommodate all requests. Drivers have the right to use their discretion when accepting fares.
Safe and Sober Free Ride Home Program
The professionals at McDivitt Law Firm work with clients who have lost loved ones in alcohol-related crashes. To assist in the fight against drunk driving, the firm encourages individuals to make responsible choices by providing free cab rides home on St. Patrick´s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, and New Year´s Eve.
The law firm launched its first Safe and Sober program on New Year´s Eve 2007. Since then, the firm has covered the cost for more than 7,000 safe rides home. In fact, the program continues to receive recognition from the community. In January 2012, U.S. Army Major General Joseph Anderson presented a certificate of recognition to the law firm. In September 2010, the firm was honored by the Pikes Peak DUI Task Force for its efforts to prevent drunk driving.
McDivitt Makes A Difference
Whether McDivitt Law Firm pays for safe cab rides home, sponsors local education programs, or supports area charities, the firm genuinely cares about their neighbors. As part of their commitment to helping others, the firm created McDivitt Makes A Difference–a year"round program that encompasses all of their community efforts.

Volunteers are our VIPs
Get involved with caring for the Chilterns and meet new friends along the way. Choose from a wide and fascinating variety of volunteering opportunites.
This page is regularly updated with new opportunities. If you have some spare time and an interest in anything mentioned below, please contact the relevant person.
Also, anyone can read our Volunteer eNews to see what we've been doing and what's new. To receive it about every 3 or 4 months, please subscribe here.
Book distribution
We are publishing an increasing number of books featuring stunning walks in all areas of the Chilterns. This year, to celebrate the Society's 50th year, there'll be a new book of 50 fantastic walks in all corners of the Chilterns.
The walks have been written and researched by keen walkers, most of whom are fellow members, and are aimed at the growing number of people of all ages who really appreciate the joys of a relaxing ramble in the Chilterns, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. All our books are proving to be really popular, are keenly priced and are snapped-up when they go on sale
We'd love to see our books being sold in as many outlets as possible including: bookshops, pubs, shops selling outdoor clothing, boots and equipment, etc., and at local events.
We're looking for someone to co-ordinate sales of our books including contacting shop owners, pub landlords, etc., as well organising distribution of the books working with a small team of volunteers.
What's in it for you? The satisfaction of knowing that thousands of walkers can enjoy some of the best scenery in the land, working with some brilliant people and the knowledge that you're making a real difference! It should only take up a couple of hours a week of your time.
Are you interested?
Yes? Then give Geoff Wiggett, our volunteer co-ordinator, a call on 01442 875906 or email him .
High flyers needed at Whiteleaf Hill
Now that the Chiltern Society is the custodian of the the famous chalk cross at Whiteleaf Hill near Princes Risborough, it has the enviable task of maintaining it!
Last September, a team of local RAF cadets, helping the Society's own volunteers, cleared the main part of the cross. It now stands out like a beacon and can be seen for miles.
At the foot of the cross is the pyramidal 'skirt' that the cross sits atop. This also needs clearing of vegetation but is on a fairly steep slope and requires a small team of fit and supple volunteers to work on this somewhat challenging terrain. It's a large area but can be worked maybe every couple of weeks, taking about 6 to 9 months in all.
The full array of safety equipment and training will be given (we know how to look after our volunteers), tools and refreshments will be supplied – all you need is a head for heights and a willingness to get stuck in.
Does this unusual and unique volunteering opportunity interest you? How about giving it a go and see how you get on?
Just call the site co-ordinator, David Kent, for an informal chat on 01844 343330 or .
Path maintenance volunteers wanted in central and south Chilterns
Help keep the Chilterns' brilliant network of footpaths, bridleways, stiles and steps in central and south Chilterns in good condition and, at the same time, get some great healthy exercise working with a very sociable group of volunteers!
No special skills are necessary and any training needs are provided 'on the job'. There are regular work parties most weeks and all tools and insurance cover are provided by the Chiltern Society. All you need is to wear a pair of stout boots and strong gloves together with appropriate clothing for outdoor work.
For more information and an informal chat contact Howard Dell (South Chilterns) on 01494 764149 or , or Richard Boas (Central Chilterns) on 01628 527978 or .
Help promote us –
Area secretary for RoWG
The Rights of Way Group (RoWG) represents the Chiltern Society's interest in all matters relating to enjoyment of public rights of way and access in the Chilterns, particularly by walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
Are you an outdoors type of person? Do you appreciate the fantastic network of footpaths and bridleways throughout the Chilterns and have a keen interest in ensuring that it continues to offer everybody great opportunities to enjoy the countryside?
If so you might find real pleasure and, at the same time, do the community a great service if you volunteer to become one of our Area Secretaries.
We have 20 Area Secretaries when all our areas are covered. They are the absolute cornerstone of the Chiltern Society's Rights of Way Group (RoWG), taking responsibility within their part of the Chilterns for the Group's core activity which is the effective monitoring of paths and open access land. Area Secretaries work with a team of Path Representatives and take appropriate action to resolve any reported difficulties regarding the condition of their network of paths, examine and respond to proposals to create, divert, or extinguish paths, and help seek improvements to the path network.
The Group currently has for the following vacancy, which it would like to fill.
RoWG Area Secretary for Beaconsfield, Burnham, Denham, Farnham Royal, Fulmer, Gerrards Cross, Hedgerley, Stoke Poges, Taplow and Wexham.
If you'd like to know more about this interesting and stimulating voluntary role, please contact Brian Lawson (Secretary of the RoWG) on 01494 815814.
Fantastic new opportunity
The Chiltern Society wants to expand it's presence in the Central Beds area and this is a great voluntary job which will really make a difference.
Central Beds Conservation Group Team Leader
The Chiltern Society is keen to expand the general scope of its activities in Central Bedfordshire and, in particular, build a Central Bedfordshire Conservation group. The job of volunteer Team Leader to help establish, develop and co-ordinate the activities of this new group will prove to be tremendously satisfying and rewarding. The group will help maintain the condition of rights of way as well as offering volunteer help on commons, village greens and countryside sites throughout the Central Beds area and occasionally working with other interested parties and 'Friends of…' groups.
We are similarly active in many other areas throughout the Chilterns and have a great reputation for providing skill and expertise on some stunningly beautiful visitor sites, nature reserves and footpaths and, above all, offering our volunteers great opportunities to help maintain these beautiful locations.
Is this of interest to you? If so why not have an informal chat about the role (or any other aspect of volunteering with the Chiltern Society) with the Society's Volunteer Co-ordinator, Geoff Wiggett, on 01442 875906 or email him
Walks Leaders
The Chiltern Society has a busy walks programme, including walks of various lengths several times a month, which we very much wish to maintain and extend.
We are always looking for volunteers to help us by leading walks, whether on a regular or an occasional basis. If you think you might like to do this please contact Judy Sonley, our Walks coordinator, on 01494 712857.
For further information about our walks programme, click here.
Planning Field Officers
The threat of huge developments, both housing and commercial, as well as increased leisure pursuits and road, air and rail transport improvements are an ongoing problem throughout Chilterns.
Are you passionate about the Chilterns' environment and that of the area in which you live? Could a planning application threaten your neighbourhood or affect the enjoyment of locals or visitors?
If so, you can make a real difference by helping the Chiltern Society's Planning Group in its fight against unsuitable and unwanted developments.
The Chiltern Society's Planning Group consists of a network of area teams arranged to correspond with the boundaries of each of the District or Borough Council areas that fall within the Chilterns.
Each area team consists of a group of Volunteer Planning field officers (PFOs) who, supported by a volunteer Area Planning co-ordinator and a team of volunteer Planning Assistants, keep a regular check on Planning applications in their local area, respond and make other representations in line with the Society's policies to those applications that they feel might have a damaging or negative effect on the Chilterns and liaise with colleagues in the Planning Group to ensure continuity.
What's involved?
Much of the PFO's role can be done from home providing there is an online connection to the local Planning portal. Just log on when convenient, look at what applications have been submitted, consider what effect individual developments might have on the local environment in line with our well-researched policy documents and respond appropriately through the Council's consultation process.
Another interesting aspect of the work involves developing and maintaining contacts with District and County Planning officers to ensure good communications and understanding.
Occasional Area Team meetings are arranged and these are very social occasions which our PFOs enjoy attending. If you like working in a team, this is the job for you!
We have opportunities for a volunteer Planning Field officer in various locations throughout the Chilterns and, in particular, the northern part around Luton..
What's in it for me?
You'll gain real knowledge about the planning process, feel part of a great team of like-minded people and have the satisfaction of knowing that you've 'made a difference'! These roles are great for anyone with a town planning or associated background but a genuine interest and enthusiasm for protecting the Chiltern countryside is just as, if not more, important. You can make a real difference and be particularly influential, especially now that the Government's changes to the way planning applications are dealt with under the Localism bill are having an affect.
All voluntary jobs in the Planning Group are fully supported by both the Planning Group Chairman and Administrator.
Interested? For more information and an informal chat, contact Geoff Wiggett (Chiltern Society Volunteer co-ordinator) on 01442 875906 or email him
Path Representatives for RoWG
Path Representatives play an essential role in the Chiltern Society's Rights of Way Group (RoWG), each checking the condition, accessibility and way-marking of an agreed list of paths.
Problems can then be reported to the appropriate County authority and action quickly taken to carry out repair and maintenance. Many path reps also willingly carry out minor maintenance of their paths, the type of jobs that require no formal authority from the County.
We currently have about 140 volunteer Path Representatives and are well staffed in many areas. There are however also some areas where we would like to fill vacancies.
We are particularly keen to hear from anybody who might like to help us in the places listed below. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Brian Lawson, the Secretary of the Rights of Way Group on 01494 815814.
Buckinghamshire – Ashley Green, Denham, North Beaconsfield, Stokenchurch, and the parishes from Edlesborough to Marsworth, i.e., Edlesborough, Ivinghoe, Marsworth and Pitstone.
Hertfordshire – Abbots Langley, Bovingdon, Flaunden, Kings Langley and Nash Mills.
Central Bedfordshire – Houghton Regis, Potten End and Whipsnade, and the parishes from Barton-le-Clay beyond Luton to Hyde including Barton-le-Clay, Chalton, Harlington, Hyde, Shillington, Streatley, Sundon and Toddington,
If you are able to help you will be playing a significant part in keeping the ever popular path network in the Chilterns in a condition that enables walkers and riders to enjoy the countryside to the full.
The Chiltern Society has taken over maintenance and control of a fantastic nature reserve at Marlow Common (North)
It forms part of a large tract of woodland lying to the west of Marlow. It comprises mainly English oak and silver birch with an understorey of bracken.
Most of the year, it's alive with wildlife.
It's an 'Open Access' site meaning visitors are encouraged to explore without having to keep to footpaths.
The Common is owned by Wycombe District Council and management is now in the hands of the Chiltern Society. WDC chose the Chiltern Society as future stewards and managers because they knew that, with our track record, the site would continue to be managed in a sensitive and sustainable way whilst allowing visitors to get close to nature and experience the stunning beauty of this wonderful landscape.
The Society is fully committed to maintaining the unique character of all these sites and has been fortunate in recruiting a site co-ordinator and an activity leader to manage and care for the site and also to form a group of Conservation volunteers to help with the many tasks required.
We already have a huge network of truly amazing people giving up their time every week to really make a difference so why not join them?
These are fantastic opportunities for anyone interested in helping to improve our natural environment in this increasingly urbanised world.
Conservation volunteers – join our new team of fit and energetic conservation volunteers, men and women who can turn their hands to almost any task. This local common will offer you endless opportunities to express yourself in ways that will surprise you. You'll meet some really remarkable people, learn new skills, gain knowledge about wildlife and use up that bit of spare energy.
You may be looking for something different to fill your day or you may only have a few hours to spare each week – it's up to you to decide how much time you can give us. That's one of the great things about volunteering. Just turn up – we'll do the rest!
All you need is commitment, energy, enthusiasm and a passion for the outdoor world.
For full details of Marlow Common, further information about any of the wonderful volunteering opportunities described here or for any other information, please ring Jeff Short on 01628 481358
Jeff can also be contacted by email using the following link:

Evo hybrid video storage at NAB 2007
updated 05:10 pm EDT, Wed April 4, 2007
SNS to demo Evo at NAB '07
Studio Network Solutions (SNS) is set to demo its new hybrid video storage system named Evo (site not updated) at NAB 2007. Evo enables creative teams to share projects, media, and other large files using connectivity ranging from 3Gbps Fibre Channel to 10Gbps iSCSI and NAS. The base Evo package ships with 4TB of high-throughput storage accommodating up to six direct-connect Mac and PC clients via 4Gbps Fibre Channel and iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet. Upgrade options will be available to add more storage into the system or increase the number of direct-connect Fibre Channel and iSCSI clients. A 10Gbps Ethernet option will also be available, according to Studio Network Solutions, giving a 10x increase in network bandwidth for NAS and iSCSI (pricing was unavailable).
The system will also include features such as advanced disk-provisioning that enables Evo drives to be arranged into storage pools, each capable of containing one or more volumes. Users can assign each volume a discrete RAID level, and Evo supports dedicating any pool's bandwidth to a specific task, such as ingesting video.

Hi there,
From last few days i'm playing with a AS 3 .0 code which is a bit a headache for me to load swf movies in as 3.0. I created an interactive cd in as 2.0 but now I had to convert in as 3.0 and i can't load.here is the code, if somebody can help me. I will be very thankful.
var Xpos:Number = 0; var Ypos:Number = 0; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fscommand/index.swf"); loader.load(defaultSWF); loader.x = Xpos; loader.y = Ypos; addChild(loader); // Btns fucntions function info_btn(event:MouseEvent):void { removeChild(loader); var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fscommand/information.swf"); loader.load(newSWFRequest); loader.x = Xpos; loader.y = Ypos; addChild(loader); } function welcome_btn(event:MouseEvent):void { removeChild(loader); var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fscommand/welcome.swf"); loader.load(newSWFRequest); loader.x = Xpos; loader.y = Ypos; addChild(loader); } // Btn listeners welcome_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, welcome_btn); info_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, info_btn);
What doesnt work in your code exactly?
Do you get any errors?
I do not think this solves the problem, but some suggestions: before each load not only remove the boot loader screen, and scrub the memory. And then create a new one.
in first var loader:Loader
where you need to make to load:
if (loader != null) { loader.removeListener … // if you added listeners (strange that they are not); removeChild(loader); loader = null;
} after that: loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_complete); loader.load(new URLREquest…)
on load is function loader_complete(e:Event):void { addChild(loader) }
p.s. If You need – i can to see your sourses and to find error
