Trick or Treat? Ghoulish Halloween Advertisements
by J. Barker
Halloween Ad # 5: Hobie Kayaks
Egad! "Fishing Up Close and Personal" indeed! While well executed, the blood sort'a pushes it over the edge for an advertisement.
That being said, I really like it as a painting... But, like the Burger King ad, I'm just not sure how good it is for the company's image...
Halloween Ad # 6: Hot Pockets
Holy s**t! If that thing was shambling down the street towards me, I'd run like hell! I don't care if it was my height or just regular chicken-sized! Imagine the smell... the sloshing / cracking sound as it shuffles toward you...
I'd be leery of this product if that's what's inside the light, flaky pastry...
Halloween Ad # 7: Universal Studios, Hollywood - Halloween Horror Nights
I agree whole-heartedly.

All I need is a glass, a couple of cubes of ice and a double shot of bourbon.
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Latos needs a head adjustment after those calls didn't go his way
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
Latos starting to lose it. Cant walk average hitters, make them put it in play
some of those pitches were close
That Joey Votto is some kind of Man Candy!

Improve disease measurement to avoid misclassification; for example, including information collected from non-DoD hospitals in studies of hospitalization, obtaining cancer incidence data from existing cancer registries, validating self-reports of health outcomes, and using the least error-prone measures of these outcomes.
Better characterize deployment and potentially related adverse environmental influences; for example, collect information on the length and location of deployment or job and task descriptions.
Measure and adjust for possible confounding factors; for example, lifestyle factors (such as smoking and risk-taking behaviors) or predeployment physical and psychological health status.
During its deliberations, the Update committee held two public sessions at which it heard from numerous interested parties including representatives of veterans' service organizations and individual Gulf War veterans. The committee was also asked by VA secretary Gen. Shinseki to invite representatives of the VA Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses (RAC) to make presentations to the committee on the findings and conclusions in its report, Gulf War Illness and the Health of Gulf War Veterans, released in November 2008, to "ensure that the basis for any differences between these reports can be efficiently and accurately communicated and considered by the latest IOM committee."
The Update committee concluded, based on a comprehensive review of the human epidemiologic literature, that there is sufficient evidence of an association between deployment to the Gulf War and multisymptom illness (see Chapter 4). The RAC, however, had concluded that the constellation of symptoms called Gulf War illness was caused by exposure to pyridostigmine bromide (PB) and to pesticides during the Gulf War, and that other exposures might also be implicated in Gulf War illness. The Update committee felt it was important to consider this major RAC conclusion regarding the cause of Gulf War illness and the evidence used to support that conclusion in order to respond to Gen. Shinseki's request. A comprehensive assessment of all the evidence on PB and pesticides exposures in the Gulf War was beyond the Update committee's formal scope of work. The committee, therefore, limited its assessment to those studies used by the RAC to support its conclusion on the cause of Gulf War illness. The committee believed that its assessment of those RAC studies was best presented in an appendix.
Although the Update committee did not assess the biological plausibility of the link between PB and pesticides and Gulf War illness, in keeping with its charge to examine the strength of association between deployment to the Gulf War and various human health outcomes, the committee critically examined the human exposure studies cited by the RAC as evidence that PB and pesticides are causally associated with Gulf War illness (see Appendix A). However, in contrast to the RAC report, the Update committee found that human epidemiologic evidence was not sufficient to establish a causative relationship between any specific drug, toxin, plume, or other agent, either alone or in combination, and Gulf War illness. Given this important issue, the Update committee also undertook an assessment of the key experimental research studies that were cited in the RAC report as supporting the plausibility of this association. This focused assessment of the experimental literature, summarized in Appendix A, did not meet, in the committee's opinion, a threshold that would lead to the conclusion that any Gulf War illness-

One to watch: Vampire Forensics
Fri, 28 May 2010 09:10
Vampires pervade popular culture, but for thousands of years before Bram Stoker penned Dracula, people lived in terror of vampirical creatures -- and recent discoveries shed new light on this primal fear and the legend and lore that has grown up around it. Vampire Forensics: Uncovering the Origins of an Enduring Legend focuses on some of the touchpoints of vampire legend:

36 year old man | Riverside, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-40 within 50 miles
What I want, I miss, I need more than anything—an intimate, intelligent, and understanding companion.
I enjoy good food and conversation, music ranging from classical to classic rock, going to the movie theatre (usually the Laemmle in Pasadena), hiking, photography, long scenic drives and road trips. When I listen to beautiful music, watch beautiful film, admire beautiful art, read beautiful literature, or simply gaze upon a beautiful landscape, it fills me with longing for a beautiful woman with whom I can share such pleasures.
Coffee and conversation , Museums and art , Travel/Sightseeing
Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats
I like all animals, but cats are unquestionably my preference. Low-maintenance and independent, like me. ;)
Middle of the Road
I love coffee shops, and I have a favorite waitress at each of the various ones I frequent, from Redlands, to Arcadia, to Anaheim. ;)
Old cars, railroads, architecture, gardens, libraries, galleries, musical performances, bookstores and record shops.
I'll go to Pasadena or Hollywood, check out the shops, catch a movie, or get together with friends, most of whom live that direction. Sometimes I go out with no particular destination, and my camera in the trunk, hoping to find something interesting.
I love books, and am in the midst of reading 'Dearie, the Remarkable Life of Julia Child,' my favorite famous Pasadenean. I also enjoy reading the Los Angeles Times and various magazines.

Robots unlikely to take big bites out of employment, expert saysSeptember 2, 2014 11:59 am | by Steve Talley, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics mean that machines will soon be able to do many of the tasks of today's workers. But David Hummels, a professor of economics at Purdue Univ., says humans still have a unique advantage that machines may never be able to emulate: our ability to respond to other humans.

The work opens the door to the development of remotely-controlled moths, or "biobots," for use in emergency response.
Multiple UAVs perform autonomous formation flightAugust 8, 2014 8:05 am | by John Toon, Georgia Institute of Technology | Videos | Comments
These days, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) typically fly alone with a team of ground operators controlling their activities through teleoperation or waypoint-based routing. But one aircraft can only carry so many sensors, limiting its capabilities. That's one reason why a fleet of autonomous aircraft can be better than one flying alone.
Scientists make cheap, fast self-assembling robotsAugust 7, 2014 3:51 pm | by Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
Borrowing from the ancient Japanese art of origami, children's toys and even a touch of the "Transformers" movies, scientists and engineers at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created self-assembling, paper robots. These complex machines transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

Phase-changing material could allow robots to switch between hard and soft statesJuly 14, 2014 7:35 am | by Helen Knight, MIT News correspondent | Videos | Comments
In the movie "Terminator 2," the shape-shifting T-1000 robot morphs into a liquid state to squeeze through tight spaces or to repair itself when harmed. Now a phase-changing material built from wax and foam, and capable of switching between hard and soft states, could allow even low-cost robots to perform the same feat.
Drones could provide perfect lighting for photographyJuly 11, 2014 11:48 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT | News | Comments
Lighting is crucial to the art of photography, but they are cumbersome and difficult to use properly.

New York police see risks with drones' popularityJuly 10, 2014 9:43 am | by Tom Hays, Associated Press | News | Comments
Police in New York City are concerned that the increasing popularity of drones in such a tightly packed metropolis could carry major risks, even becoming a potential tool for terrorists to conduct surveillance or carry out attacks. Even though it's illegal to fly the devices just about anywhere in New York City without permission, recent incidents and breathtaking videos of Manhattan suggest that the restrictions are being widely flouted.
Heads up, World Cup teams: The robots are comingJuly 10, 2014 8:33 am | by Kathy Matheson, Associated Press | News | Comments

But the machines participating in this month's international RoboCup tournament are making passes and scoring points. Their ultimate goal? To beat the human World Cup champs within the next 35 years.
Study: Power consumption of robot joints could be 40% lessJuly 7, 2014 2:24 pm | News | Comments
Digital controllers are used to drive the motors of the joints in robots used in industrial processes. Programming and developing these controllers is not easy. Researchers in Spain have analyzed a way of propelling these systems or robots in a more energy-efficient way and has shown, on a laboratory level, that in some cases energy consumption can be cut by up to 40% without sacrificing precision.
Muscle-powered bio-bots walk on commandJuly 2, 2014 9:28 am | News | Comments
Engineers at the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated a class of walking "bio-bots" powered by muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses, giving researchers unprecedented command over their function. The design is inspired by the muscle-tendon-bone complex found in nature. They have a backbone of 3-D printed hydrogel, strong enough to give the bio-bot structure but flexible enough to bend like a joint.
Collaborative learning for robotsJune 25, 2014 7:54 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Machine learning, in which computers learn new skills by looking for patterns in training data, is the basis of most recent advances in artificial intelligence, from voice-recognition systems to self-parking cars. It's also the technique that autonomous robots typically use to build models of their environments. That type of model-building gets complicated, however, in cases in which clusters of robots work as teams.
Synthetic aperture sonar to help Navy hunt sea minesJune 19, 2014 8:37 am | by Brett Israel, Georgia Institute of Technology | News | Comments
Since World War II, sea mines have damaged or sunk four times more U.S. Navy ships than all other means of attack combined. New sonar research being performed could improve the Navy's ability to find sea mines deep under water. The underlying technology, known as synthetic aperture sonar, uses advanced computing and signal processing power to create fine-resolution images of the seafloor based on reflected sound waves.
A new way to detect leaks in pipesJune 19, 2014 8:09 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Explosions caused by leaking gas pipes have frequently made headlines in recent years. But while the problem of old and failing pipes has garnered much attention, methods for addressing such failing infrastructure have lagged far behind. Typically, leaks are found using aboveground acoustic sensors. But these systems are very slow, and can miss small leaks altogether. Now researchers have devised a robotic system that can detect leaks.
New manufacturing methods needed for "soft" machines, robotsJune 19, 2014 7:52 am | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers have developed a technique that might be used to produce "soft machines" made of elastic materials and liquid metals for potential applications in robotics, medical devices and consumer electronics. Such an elastic technology could make possible robots that have sensory skin and stretchable garments that people might wear to interact with computers or for therapeutic purposes.

Think fast, robotMay 30, 2014 9:01 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | News | Comments
One of the reasons we don't yet have self-driving cars and miniature helicopters delivering online purchases is that autonomous vehicles tend not to perform well under pressure. A system that can flawlessly parallel park at 5 mph may have trouble avoiding obstacles at 35 mph. Part of the problem is the time it takes to produce and interpret camera data.

Cyclist fatality
This Wednesday, a cyclist was struck and killed on Warren Road near the Borg Warner plant. Ther are stil no reliable details available about it, the layout of lanes around there has been criticized as a hazard for all cyclists, whether contributing to this particular tragedy or not. Here's a screengrab from Google maps of the more southerly exit from Borg Warner:
The apparent problem for cyslists traveling south (from the top of the image) is that the shoulder turns and disappears into the factory driveway; there is no obvious line along which to proceed. The only rational solution is to leave the shoulder before getting to the intersection and ride in the main traffic lane until past all the paint and driveways, then merge right across the acceleration lane to the new shoulder of the road. This, of course, would entail seeing and being seen by traffic at many points.

I initially grabbed an image of the other BW entrance/exit, just a short bit north of this one (image below). I think this one is even more potentially dangerous.

Yesterday, we saw an afternoon performance of To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the classic one-shot novel by Harper Lee.
I haven't read the novel since high school, and I only dimly remember it. (I plainly need, now, to read it again.) I recall more clearly the black and white film adapted from the novel. In fact, when I think of Gregory Peck, I think of him as Atticus Finch.
Atticus Finch has, I'm told, been voted by somebody or other the greatest lawyer hero in fiction, or in movies, or something like that. And I can understand why. It's not just because most other lawyers in film and in novels are greedy, unethical bottom-feeders. No, Atticus is an ordinary man who rises to greatness, not only very obviously in the courtroom but in daily life as a father. When, at a certain moment in the story, all the folks in the courtroom's "colored" section rise to honor him, I feel like rising, too. In fact, years ago, when my wife and I visited the then still-new Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles and, in the crypt, unexpectedly found ourselves standing before the tomb of one of its first occupants, the devoutly Catholic Gregory Peck, I felt a thrill not of star worship but of moral awe that surprised me deeply. (I also admire him enormously in the role of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty in the film The Scarlet and the Black, which is based on a true story out of World War Two.)
In the evening, we attended a performance of Titus Andronicus, one of Shakespeare's lesser known and rarely performed plays. Very different from To Kill a Mockingbird – though, curiously, they're linked through plots that focus on rape, lies, murder or attempted murder, revenge, and gross injustice. Maybe, in a way, not so different after all, deep below the surface.
Truth be told, I'd seen at least one prior performance of Titus Andronicus, and I wasn't looking forward to seeing it again. Cultural duty, really. After all, it's Shakespeare. But they did an excellent job (apart from some issues of voice projection) and I thoroughly enjoyed the play, which came across as considerably better than I had recalled. It's pretty gruesome, though the gore is mostly offstage and is handled very well even when on stage, and I wouldn't recommend it as one's first exposure to performed Shakespeare, but . . . Well, I do recommend it.
I think it could be read as a critique of unbending rigidity, on the part of the title character, and of an insatiable lust for revenge on the part of Tamora, the queen of the Goths who becomes empress of Rome, showing the disasters that they bring down on their own heads and on those whom they love through their lack of mercy. There is also a brief but very direct attack on what the play depicts as the utterly vicious and explicitly atheist amorality of Aaron the Moor that would, I think, not go down well in certain circles these days.
All in all, something of a surprise. As I say, far better and more satisfying than I had expected.
Cedar City, Utah.

Hot Tables: Tower Restaurant in Edinburgh, Scotland
"Uniquely for a museum this has become the hottest table in Edinburgh"-- AA Gill, The Sunday Times

Bryant Park's Best Event Seats - The Penthouse
June 13, 2006
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
by Courtney W. May for Bryant Park Hotel, New York City Situated directly across from New York City's storied Bryant Park, and steps away from the media, fashion, retail and transportation centers of Manhattan, the Bryant Park Hotel's midtown address alone renders it prime accommodations for the business or leisure traveler alike. Get the most out of your trip by reserving their Penthouse Suite (pictured). Make sure you do it when something exciting is happening in Bryant Park or when you can devote some time to park and people watching on your balcony. P.S. The Bryant Park bathroom - the actual Park's bathrooms aren't just outhouses - was awarded the title of "best in America" by Citysearch users in 2002 so make sure you check that out too. Penthouse Suite Details Location: The Bryant Park Hotel is 25 stories tall with only 128 guest rooms. The Penthouse Suite occupies the entire 24th floor with surrounding views of the New York City skyline. Size: 1,100 square feet (better then all of Manhattan's apartments) Rooms: The Penthouse features 1 and a half baths, a dinning area for up to 6 people, living room, bedroom and balcony. The Living Room: Notable aspects of the living room include one of the Suite's two 32" High Definition LCD flat screen televisions and a desk equipped with internet access is available for any business needs. Bathroom: A sleek double-headed shower, as well as an oversized bathtub, provides a luxurious bathing experience plus you can hoard Molton Brown products in your suitcase and keep asking the housekeeping staff and front desk to send you more. Balcony: Accessible through the Bedroom, the balcony provides amazing views which include the lawn of Bryant Park and the Manhattan skyline (make sure you bring binoculars). Note Bene: Through floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the view of the Empire State Building illuminated at night, all the while immersed in a flower-petal-infused bubble bath with your BOSE Wave Music System and a BOSE SoundDock Digital Music System for Apple iPod playing that hip music kids these days are listening to. Too cheap to get the Penthouse Suite? The Bryant Park Hotel does also have 16 suites, 10 park-view terraces, and a rooftop loft space with 360-degree skyline panoramas. They all have a fresh contemporary decor and signature room appointments that include authentic Tibetan rugs, goose-down duvets, and travertine marble bathrooms, even without shelling out the Penthouse nightly rate. Other New York Suites: Plaza Athenee's Penthouse Suite, "Park Avenue Suite at The Regency in New York City", "The Carlyle Hotel in New York City (Re)Opens The Royal Suite", "The Triplex Penthouse at the Time", and "Suite Escapes: the Mandarin Oriental New York Celebrates its Taipan Suite".
Think Caribbean for Winter 2007: Jungle Bay Resort and Spa, Dominica
The lush, forested Caribbean isle of Dominica is a nature lover's delight, with miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, gorgeous beaches where whales can be spotted off-shore, and hot springs and glorious waterfalls amidst the rainforest. In this tropical paradise, the Jungle Bay Resort and Spa is a peaceful and luxurious retreat. With yoga studios, beachfront bar, gorgeous Spa, and Atlantic-facing restaurants, this resort could be heaven on earth. The 35 tropical hardwood cottages are nestled within the jungle, accessed by a series of graceful footpaths, and feature balconies and private outdoor showers. At night, fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the spring fed stream in the forest below, or the Atlantic waves crashing into the soft sandy shore. Dining is an experience to remember, with delicious and fresh Caribbean specialities served in an outdoor Pavilion overlooking the stone pool and ocean.
The Ultimate Eco-Retreat: Hosteria Rincon del Socorro, Corrientes Province, Argentina

The Conservation Land Trust has attracted a slew of nature lovers in pursuit of discovering the beauty of Argentina's vast northeast. The place to stay? Estancia Rincon del Socorro is a 12,000-hectare former cattle ranch on the edge of the Ibera wetlands that is now a nature reserve. Doug and his wife Kris restored a beautiful property, originally built in 1896, including three bungalows and the main house, El Casco, which offers spacious rooms with high ceilings, a screened verandah, well-stocked library, and terraced dining area where beautiful organic meals are served, with fruit and vegetables plucked from the kitchen garden and delicious Argentine barbecue (free range meats). Relax by the pool or take to the savannah on horseback, riding with a gaucho on one of the native horses.
'Man'cations at Fairmont Hotels and Resorts

cincyinco, good points. I certainly thinks it's possible Austin Kearns has figured things out well enough to be the Tim Salmon-level player I once envisioned him as.
My clear preference would be that the Reds trade Jr. He's the guy who fits least well into the equation. If Kearns could be locked into relatively cheap three-year extension (under $12M says I), then I'd consider keeping him around.
Yet if he can't be locked into such a deal, keeping him has its consequences. IMO the Reds had better go out and find two starters for 2007 (and perish the notion that anyone from the farm or this draft will play an important role in a contender's rotation next year). Relievers need to be found from outside as well (though perhaps someone from the farm could help on that front, Guevara striking me as the most likely candidate). And then the offense and defense need to click. Is Felipe Lopez a SS for a contending ballclub? You don't have to answer that question prior to next year if you aren't counting on 2007. But holding Austin Kearns makes 2007 imperative. Not only does he have to produce, the team has to be ready too. Because if he walks after that season then you're left without the benefit of the talent he could have fetched you this summer or this coming winter. The Reds have precious little talent where they can afford to lose a guy like Kearns with no return on him. That's no a small market problem. It's a small talent problem.

2008 CFN Big East Preview
1. West Virginia
After getting mostly negative reviews in his first season as the
offensive coordinator, Jeff Mullen begins his second year
without the services of QB Pat White. Oh, joy. Actually, there
are silver linings for the offense. Jarrett Brown has been one
of the nation's top backup quarterbacks the last two years, and
Noel Devine is a dynamic playmaker coming out of the backfield.
Plus, without White to bail the offense out of every jam, the
days of relying on one player to do most of the heavy lifting
are over. The Mountaineers are sticking with the spread, but
it'll be tailored more toward Brown, a taller passer, who won't
have to scramble to improve his line of sight. The program needs
him to deliver in a big way after it produced its fewest points
in seven years.

Connecticut8. Syracuse
1. Cincinnati
For the first time in four years,
Cincinnati came out of spring without any major question marks at
quarterback. That's a good thing for the entire program that has
undergone so much turmoil under center. The Bearcats were able to win
games last year when Tony Pike was average, but that won't be the
case in 2009. He'll need to take his game to another level and
become the new face of the program. Chazz Anderson is a
fantastic athlete, and there are nice reserves pushing for the No. 3
spot.2. West Virginia3. South
Florida4. Pitt5. Rutgers6. Louisville7. Connecticut
8. Syracuse
Running Backs
West Virginia
As long as Noel Devine is healthy, West Virginia will again have one
of the most explosive running games in the country. If, however,
he gets dinged, hold your breath. The Mountaineers are
perilously thin in the backfield, lacking the depth and
experience to endure any down time from their best offensive
Louisville3. Connecticut4. South Florida5. Rutgers6.
Cincinnati7. Pitt8. Syracuse
PittOver the last two seasons,
Pittsburgh has been home to one of the nation's least efficient passing
teams. Don't blame the receivers, a talented group that would be so much
more productive if teamed with a better battery mate. It's hard to argue
with a unit that has star potential at wide receiver with Jonathan
Baldwin and Oderick Turner, and tight end Nate Byham, and as much depth as anyone in the Big East.
2. Cincinnati3. South Florida4.
Syracuse5. Louisville6. West Virginia7. Rutgers8.
Offensive Line
Someone needs to start giving more
attention to the job being done by offensive line coach Mike Foley, who
consistently whips players others ignored into outstanding blockers.
He'll earn his pay again this year, trying to retool a unit that helped
the Huskies lead the Big East in rushing and sacks allowed. The key will
be at left tackle, where either Dan Ryan or Jimmy Bennett needs to
lessen the pain of losing William Beatty to the NFL.
2. West Virginia3. Pitt4. Cincinnati5.
Louisville6. Rutgers7. South Florida8. Syracuse
As the defense goes, so goes the Pittsburgh program. Even after
losing All-American LB Scott McKillop to graduation, the Panthers are loaded on
this side of the ball, especially up front. With three legitimate
All-Big East contenders, they'll control the line of scrimmage most
weekends, making life easier for the linebackers and defensive backs. On
the outside, Greg Romeus and Jabaal Sheard form one of the top 10 or so
scariest pass rushing tandems in the country. Add in DT Mick Williams, a
disruptive force in his own right, and Pitt has a chance to dominate
most games at the point of contact. If a suitable replacement can be
found for McKillop in the middle, the Panthers will hold opponents to
under 20 points a game this fall.2.
South Florida3. West Virginia4. Rutgers5. Connecticut6.
Cincinnati7. Louisville8. Syracuse
Defensive Line
PittIf, indeed,
it all starts up front, the Panthers will be in great shape on defense
this season. Pitt has enough talent on the line to dominate and force quarterbacks into mistakes. The Big East doesn't have
many quality passers as it is, so the Panthers will enjoy a huge edge in
most games with Greg Romeus coming from the outside, and Mick Williams
controlling things inside.2.
South Florida3. West Virginia4. Connecticut5. Rutgers6.
Cincinnati7. Syracuse8. Louisville
West Virginia
Whatever the defensive
linemen miss, these talented linebackers will be prepared to clean up.
Even after losing Ivy to the NFL, it's a very talented and diverse group
that knows the 3-3-5 stack intimately. Reed Williams and J.T. Thomas are All-Big East-caliber, and
Pat Lazear and Anthony
Leonard aren't that far behind.
2. Connectcut3. Rutgers4. Pitt5. South Florida
6. Cincinnati7. Louisville8. Syracuse
PittIf they can
avoid some of the breakdowns that plagued them last year, the Panthers
are in nice shape in the defensive backfield. There's a good mix of
athletes, with corners Aaron Berry and Jovani Chappel, to go
along with the thumpers, Dom DeCicco and Elijah Fields. Throw in the rush that'll
be generated up front, and it'll be very tough throwing on Pitt this
year. 2. South Florida3.
West Virginia4. Connecticut5. Rutgers6. Cincinnati7.
Louisville8. Syracuse
Special Teams
1. Cincinnati
It doesn't get a whole lot of discussion,
but assistant Mike Elston does
a really nice job with the UC pecial teams. The Beacats cover
well, have dangerous return men, and should get enough out of
Jake Rogers as a kicker and a punter. While his leg strength is not a
question, he does need to straighten out more of his kicks.
Mardy Gilyard is one of the most explosive kickoff returners in

Hunters registered 243,739 deer during the nine-day Wisconsin gun deer season, according to a preliminary report issued Tuesday by the Department of Natural Resources.
The harvest represents a 7.7% increase over 2011.
The preliminary tally showed hunters harvested 114,822 bucks and 128,917 antlerless deer. This compares with 2011 preliminary harvest figures of 102,837 bucks and 123,423 antlerless, for a 12% and 4% increase, respectively.
Coming off a mild winter and early spring green-up, the state's deer herd increased in most areas this year, according to state wildlife biologists.
The increased buck harvest - a standard barometer of the size of the deer herd - is consistent with estimates of a larger herd.
The state sold 644,460 hunting licenses, a 2% increase from 2011. License sales were buoyed by a $5 "first-time buyer" offer. Nearly 29,000 of the deeply discounted licenses were sold this year. The standard rate for a Wisconsin gun deer license is $24.
The DNR also reported seven shooting incidents, including one fatality, during the season. The 2010 and 2011 gun deer hunts were notable for having no fatal shooting incidents.
The gun hunt was held Nov. 17-25. A muzzleloader season began Monday and runs through Dec. 5.
The preliminary harvest report is compiled by calling registration stations around the state. Final numbers will be available in the coming weeks and are typically slightly higher, according to the DNR.

hannah.haddad Lovely homey hostal, with nice outdoor space, and airy rooms with a veranda. The kitchen is equipped *superbly* and you can also opt in for a traditional portuguese dinner cooked for you. there's wifi and a computer to use for free, staff were very helpful regarding directions around faro, theres a big cheap supermarket nearby, and you're a short walk from the boats to nearby islands, we went to ila deserta- completely conserved, only one (expensive) restaurant; the rest is just endless beach.... paradise

Nik. The location is right behind the trainstation, a little dodgy when you arrive late. We were staying in a double room which was located in another house, so we had no kitchen, which wasn't a problem for one night. The room and the bathroom were nicely renovated and clean. The bed was just a matress on the floor and the linen was polyester (a bit sweaty). Fan was provided. We didn't use the facilities of the main hostel so no info here.
lloyd1018 Had a very pleasant stay at this hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was quiet with plenty of natural light. But the big attraction is the rooftop which commands a great view. Perfect place for a quiet drink.
lindalsilk Very central, very clean, helpful staff. Only a short walk to the harbour and the local bars and restaurants. Quiet rooms although the ones on the front will hear the early morning traffic. I recommend it.
gemmaeasto Really nice room with air con and lots of space. Staff were especially friendly and helpful. Would recommend it to anyone.

There is no such thing as luck, life is what you make it.
My friends and family describe me as a hopeless romantic, I love to watch the sunset and admire nature. I also enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures and ideas, I am past the clubbing stage and would rather perform more intellectual activities. I was very skeptical to try the whole online dating thing, as i've always been opposed to it but due to my busy work schedule I decided to give it a try and see what happens.I am in no rush to find a relationship nor am I here to waste my time. You may ask yourself why am I single? It's simple, I know what I want and I wont settle for anything less. The ideal partner for me is he who has a good sense of humor, integrity, and who is humble.Im a bit old fashioned, a man thats polite and respectful is a must! I am not a fan of loud and obnoxious guys, in a room full of men I would choose the quiet, laidback guy opposed to the "life of the party "kinda guy. I fall for the man who opens the car door for his woman, who goes above and beyond to accomodate and provide for her and treats her just as good as he would treat his mom. I love to laugh and incorporate sarcasm into my sense of humor, so if you can make me laugh theres a possible match! I believe communication is the key to success in anything you do in life, therefore I appreciate a man who can communicate effectively and not hold back on his thoughts. Now that you know the basics, feel free to contact me :)

It's starting to look like Warner Bros may hold Christopher Nolan in the highest possible regard, but that in the end, they own their characters and they will decide what they're going to do with them.
After all, we heard much talk this summer about how the Batman franchise was ending, at least as far as the current version is concerned, and I believe that Nolan was serious when he said that was the last story he had to tell about the character. But Nolan is working with Warner Bros. on the "Man Of Steel" relaunch this summer, and as we reported earlier today, director Zack Snyder is starting to hint at the idea that his film is part of a larger continuity.
Certainly, the ending of "The Dark Knight Rises" hints at a possible future for the franchise, and there has been much speculation about whether or not they'll work to connect the end of that film to the larger world of DC properties that Warner is so desperate to create. Over the last couple of weeks, that speculation seems to have turned into conversation, and that conversation seems to be solidifying into a plan.
According to sources,Joseph Gordon-Levittabsolutely will be appearing in "Justice League" as the new Batman.
Now here's where things get interesting. The more insistent the drumbeat has become, the more poking around I've been doing, and it's looking like we may see Gordon-Levitt in the suit earlier than that. They're a long way from filming anything "Justice League" related, but they appear to be solidifying deals for Gordon-Levitt and, potentially, at least one other actor from the Nolan films to do… something.
So let's take what we know and speculate a little bit. How crazy do you think fans would go if Superman were to take to the skies at the end of "Man Of Steel," finally ready to fully accept his role as mankind's most powerful protector, only to have the closing credits interrupted when something catches his attention and he swoops down out of that sky, landing on a rooftop where Jim Gordon stands next to the Bat-Signal, interrupting just as the new Batman arrives for a chat about Gotham's latest problem?
Pretty crazy, I'd wager.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying that will happen at the end of "Man Of Steel." I'm just saying that Warner Bros. has been studying the way Marvel handled their build-up to "The Avengers," and once they've made the decision they've apparently made, why not start laying the groundwork as soon as possible?
More than ever, I'm curious to lay eyes on "Man Of Steel," and to see just what Warner has in mind for the future. It's going to be fascinating.

Well, this all makes sense considering the super comic book-y tone of TDKR and Nolan's heavy involvement at Warner. Personally, I'm a-okay with this because JGL can do no wrong and also fuck another Batman reboot. Anyway, I would guess the 'other' Nolan actor would be Morgan Freeman, seeing as how his character would work extremely well in the context of a Justice League movie.

Article ID: 190000 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q190000
On This Page
This article demonstrates how to get started calling functions in the Windows Application Programming Interface (Windows API) in your Visual Basic projects. This article assumes you are familiar with using Visual Basic but have never used it to call the functions in the Windows API.
Although Visual Basic has an extensive list of statements, methods, events, and procedures to help you create a Windows program quickly and easily, there are limitations within the development environment that may prevent you from implementing your ideas. One way to go beyond these limitations is to call the Windows API from within your Visual Basic project. At the heart of the Windows operating system are the functions that make up the Windows API. The majority of these functions are accessible from Visual Basic programs.
The following topics are covered in this article:
What is the Windows API?If you look at the Windows System directory, typically \Windows\System under Window 95/98 and \Winnt\System32 under Windows NT, you will find a number of Dynamic Link Library (.DLL) files. These files contain functions that are used to run the operating system and to ensure a consistent user interface and operating environment. These files make up the Windows API.
The purpose of the Windows API is to allow you to develop programs consistent with the Windows operating system and user interface. Instead of individuals writing the code to create components of the Windows operating system, such as forms, command buttons, and menus, you can call the appropriate functions in the Windows API and let the operating system create those components.
The purpose of each function in the Windows API is documented in the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK). The Platform SDK is shipped with Microsoft Visual C++ and as part of a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN.)
You can also download the Platform SDK from the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/setuplauncher.htmAs with any other Windows program, Visual Basic uses the functions in the Windows API. When you perform a task in Visual Basic, such as adding a command button to a form, Visual Basic calls the appropriate functions to perform the task. The features of Visual Basic are wrappers to these functions.
Why Use the Windows API?The reason why you would use the Windows API is to perform a task beyond what is available from Visual Basic. For example, you cannot determine or set the cursor blinking rate through any statement, property, procedure, or method in Visual Basic. You can get the blink rate by calling the GetCaretBlinkTime function, which returns the cursor blink rate in milliseconds. If you want to set the cursor to blink at another rate under specified conditions, you can call the SetCaretBlinkTime function, passing the specified time in milliseconds.
You can get the same functionality as almost any of the features of Visual Basic by calling the appropriate Windows API functions. However, calling these functions directly is typically more complicated and can cause unpredictable behavior if not done correctly, resulting in system errors. For the best performance and predictable behavior, you should use the intrinsic Visual Basic functionality.
How to Call a Windows API FunctionThere are two steps required to call a Windows API function:
For example, to declare the GetCaretBlinkTime function in a module, copy the following text to the code window of your module:
If you want to use the same function only in a specific form, add the keyword "Private" to the beginning of the function declaration. The GetCaretBlinkTime function declaration is written in the code window of a form as follows:
This function returns a Long value that is the cursor blink rate in milliseconds. The Lib keyword precedes the name of the file that contains the function; in this case, User32.DLL. The Alias keyword is used to define the specific function in the DLL file. This clause is optional when the function is being declared with the same name as in the DLL.
You will often see the Private notation used in Microsoft Knowledge Base articles because not using a module streamlines the implementation of the sample code. If you need to use a Windows API function in more than one source file in a project, it should be declared in a module.
For more information about the Declare statement, see "Declare Statement" in the Language Reference in Books Online.
Once you have declared the function, you can call it as you would any Visual Basic function and a pass any appropriate parameters. The following example shows how to call the GetCaretBlinkTime function:
For functions that require parameters, you can pass parameters by reference or by value.
A parameter passed by reference passes the 32-bit address of the location where the value is stored. By default, Visual Basic passes parameters by reference. You can also explicitly pass parameters by reference using the ByRef keyword.
The values of parameters passed by reference can be changed in the called procedure. For example, the InvertRect function inverts a specified rectangle by inverting the value of each pixel. The function requires the handle to the device context containing the rectangle and the address of a user defined type (UDT) variable with the logical coordinates of the rectangle. The address of the user defined variable is passed by reference.
When you call this function, the logical coordinates of the rectangle are placed in the user defined variable.
To use this function, add the following declarations to a module:
The first declaration specifies a user defined type required for a parameter of the InvertRect function while the second declaration is for the function.
Passing a parameter by value sends the actual value of the parameter to the function. You pass a parameter by value if the parameter is not changed by the called procedure. To pass a parameter by value, add the ByVal keyword to each parameter you want to pass to the function.
NOTE: When you pass a string variable to an API call, you actually pass the memory address of the string, so you should always pass string parameters as ByVal. If you pass a string parameter by reference, you pass the memory address containing the memory address of the string, which causes the API function receiving the parameter to behave incorrectly and may cause a memory violation error.
The SetCaretBlinkTime function requires the rate in milliseconds parameter to be passed by value to the function. Declare this function by adding the following statement to a module:
To use this function to set the cursor blink rate to 250 milliseconds, add the following to your project:
Sample ProjectThis section shows you how to create a sample project that controls the cursor blink rate by calling two functions in the Windows API. The GetCaretBlinkRate function returns the current blink rate in milliseconds while the SetCaretBlinkRate function sets the blink rate. Both of these functions will be declared in a module. You can also declare these functions in the form by prefacing each function declaration with the Private keyword.
NOTE: The SetCaretBlinkRate function sets the cursor blink rate for the operating system. If you exit the project before setting the blink rate back to the default, the cursor blink rate will change for all programs.
Step-by-Step Example
