I had a quick look at "resume_cache". I was thinking you were referring to the .resume method of the target. The .resume method must not allocate _any_ memory (DM convention requires all memory allocations to be done in terms of preallocated memory or more commonly as part of the DM table load, via .ctr)... anyway ignoring that for now. I was very surprised to see that you're managing devices in terms of DM messages like "resume_cache" (which I assume your dm-lc userspace tools initiate). This seems wrong -- I'm also not seeing proper locking in the code either (which you get for free if with DM if you use the traditional DM hooks via target_type ops). But I haven't been able to do a proper review. DM device creation and deletion are done in terms of load (.ctr) and remove (.dtr). And all these sysfs files are excessive too. You'll notice that DM devices don't expose discrete sysfs files on a per device basis. All per-device info is exposed via .status We _could_ take steps to establish a per-DM-device sysfs namespace; but that would need to be something wired up to the DM core. So I'd prefer dm-lc use traditional .status (info and table). All said, I'll try to make time for a more formal review in the coming weeks. Please feel free to ask more questions in the mean time. Thanks, Mike

5 training camp nuggets from Falcons coach Mike Smith
July 27, 2013
By D. Orlando Ledbetter
FLOWERY BRANCH -- Martel Moore, an undrafted rookie from Northern Illinois, has won some of his battles in the one-on-one passing drills early in training camp.
"I've got to take it one day at a time," Moore said. "I have to make the most of any opportunity that I do get. Any group that I go with, the 1s, 2s or 3s, I have to make the most of my opportunities, blocking or catching the ball."
Moore, 6-foot and 183 pounds, is running his routes fluidly and making great cuts. He helped to lead the Huskies to the Orange Bowl last season. He had 1,083 yards receiving and caught 13 touchdowns for the Mid-American Conference champs.
"I still have to get better and I'm learning for Roddy (White), Harry (Douglas) and Julio (Jones) every day, said Moore, a native of San Antonio, Texas.
Moore ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 and 4.57 seconds March 12 at Northern Illinois' Pro Day, according to NFL.com's Gil Brandt. He also had an impressive 35-inch vertical jump.
Moore enjoyed Northern Illinois' ride to the Orange Bowl last season.
"The experience was great," Moore said. "We were the first MAC team to ever do it. We went 12-1 and only lost a game by a point (Iowa, 18-17)."
Florida State beat the Huskies, 31-10, in the Orange Bowl.
"I felt like we didn't play up to our potential in that game," Moore said. "If we did, I think it would have been a different outcome. Florida State was good, but they weren't as good as everybody hyped them up to be."

Top 10 Facebook Mistakes to Avoid After 1st Dates
Looking for love? You may be single because you haven't met the "right one." Or maybe there's another problem. Do you know how to have a successful first date in the age of Facebook? Sure, you may think you're suave; after all, you know not to change your status to "In a Relationship" after just one date. But there are a lot of other potential pitfalls. Here are ten of the worst mistakes you can make on Facebook before, during, or after a first date. If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, then you know why you're alone!
- 3
Creepily Liking Old Facebook Photos
The Mistake:
Jealousy isn't the only reason not to scroll through all your first date's old photos, though.
They may be public, but going through them and then liking a hot picture from 2007 constitutes the first order of creepiness.
Generally, as a rule, don't "Like" attractive pictures of people that you find attractive and eventually want to end up in some sort of relationship with. That's what all the creepy "Instalikers" are for. Your relationship with that person goes deeper, or at least it (hopefully) will. Leave compliments for when they dress nice for you in real life.
- 6
Desperate Comment Interactions
The Mistake:
You may want to get the interest of one of your Facebook buddies. Maybe you went on one date and then nothing's happened since. Or maybe you're just hoping that they'll finally agree to go out with you because of your charmingly flirty interactions.
Either way, you keep an eye out for status updates from your target and then do your best to reel them in. Whether the flirting is obvious or you try for an oh-so-casual comment along the lines of "You're playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II this weekend? That's so funny, me too," these flirtation comment attempts are not as witty as you think they are.
If this person wants to go on a first date, or continue any kind of a romantic relationship with you, they'll let you know.
Otherwise, nothing you can say via a Facebook comment will change their minds. Keep it up and you'll just look like you're trying way too hard.
- 2
Facebook Jealousy
The Mistake:
After a first date, you start to wonder if you're the only potential paramour in your date's life.
You start to see photos and comments on Facebook in a whole new light. When pictures are posted from a night when your date said they were too busy to see you, you start wondering just who the other people in those photos are. And why is there someone who always likes your date's statuses? Sure, they could just be friends, but why is this friend so involved in your date's life?
So you send them a message on Facebook, just to say hi. But they don't respond.
So, you text them, just to see if they'll respond.
But they don't.
So now you know they're getting snuggly with this stupid, serial status-liker, and you're reeling over all the things they're doing together that you're not. And after three days of questioning, obsessing, doubting, and obsessing again over whether or not your date is even interested in you, you meet up again with your date. You're trying to play it cool, but then you ask about this person on Facebook. They give you a vague answer, so you dig deeper. And deeper. And before you know it, your date confesses it's a close cousin and you've made yourself look like a complete ass.
Now your chances of a second date are completely trashed, thanks to your jealousy from a couple of Facebook likes.
- 7
Following everything your date does on Facebook
The Mistake:
Say you're already Facebook friends.
After the date, you write a quick message saying how much you enjoyed it. So far, so good. But Facebook has decided to show you when your message has been read, so you know your date got it.
When there isn't an immediate reply, you begin freaking out. You then start tracking everything he or she is doing on Facebook until they respond. Yes, it sounds crazy, but many people do it (both male and female). Starting to date someone you actually like is quite literally a hunt.
Looking at companies, places, restaurants, and movies that your date has liked, you decide to like a few of the same things.
After all, it shows your first date how much you have in common! Now when you have a second date, you'll have lots of things to talk about.
Of course, what's actually going to happen is that they'll see you liking everything they've liked, and you'll just get blocked and unfriended, and there will never be a second date. Ever.
- 1
Friending Too Soon
The Mistake:
This is the worst.
You just went on your first date and had an amazing time. You desperately want to see this person again. And you're sure your date feels the same way. After all, you were talking and laughing for hours!
The minute your date is over, you whip out your smartphone and reach out to friend him or her on Facebook (or follow your date on Twitter). It's the way of today's social media-dominated world, right?
Wrong. It was just one date. No matter how magical and rainbow-filled it was for you, maybe your date was bored out of their mind. You don't know if you'll ever see this person again. If you weren't already friends on Facebook, there's no reason to take that step now. Plus, now you've just given yourself something else to obsess over: "Why hasn't my friend request been accepted? Why is it taking so long? Did they even see it?!"
It's even worse if your friend request is accepted, only for there to be no second date. Then you have to decide if and when to unfriend this person. Why put yourself in that situation?
If you're not already Facebook buddies, friending can wait.
- 5
Going Too Far Via Status Update
The Mistake:
You've decided to play it cool and not friend the girl or guy you just had a fabulous first date with. But you're still excited about the date – so excited that you have to share your happiness on Facebook.
This mistake can consist of posting a status update saying that you just met the person you're going to marry. Or you may make the classic mistake of changing your relationship status from "single" to "in a relationship."
You could even announce that now you understand the true meaning of love.
All of those steps are going way too far, because it was only one date.
There is no way that a first date equals you being in a relationship or finally knowing what it means to be in love. And even if you truly feel that your first date will be your husband or wife someday, you should still keep it to yourself, because Facebook updates are public! If your date sees your status change or update, there is no way they'll want to see you again. Keep it to yourself, at least for now.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Elysia is the home planet of the Firstand is an extremely rich and beautiful place that would make mortals cry by the simple sight of it. Its food is also forbidden to mortals as their senses are not capable enough to handle it. Elysia is also very difficult to locate. Not even extremely advanced technology, such as the Negation's tracking devices, can locate it. Also this plane of existence is reserved only for the First, mortals have no means of getting here without the aid of a First, which also includes the newly created Sigil-Bearers who's power rivals the self-proclaimed Gods. Solusandra, who created the First, said Elysia is actually quite easy to locate, if one knows where to look. She stated that you must imagine yourself in the center of all creation when teleporting in order to even have a chance of arriving on Elysia. Elysia has been used in both times of peace and war for the First, but was eventually split in two by Altwaal creating House Dexter and House Sinister. If a First wants to cross from one House to another, they must traverse through the Eidolon Rift which diminishes their power greatly. Elysia seems to follw the normal laws of physics, such as gravity. It is unknown how large the planet of Elysia is or how much of it they use, as most of the stories seem to take place in their main city. There does not seem to be a name for this city other than Elysia and it is uknown if any other cities exist on the planet and if so, what they would be called.

2010 - Gulls Host NECBL All-Star Game
Notable Features
Hockey-Style Dugouts: Due to the lack of foul territory on the third base line, both dugouts are located on the first base line, side-by-side.
Small Dugout Dimensions: Each dug out was designed for the small, barnstorming teams of an earlier era, with less than a dozen players able to sit inside.
Shared Bullpen: Like the dugouts, each team shares the bullpen, located in dead ball territory past the left field concession concourse. A ball bouncing into the bullpen is a ground-rule double.
The Gulls Nest: A boxed-in seating and barbeque area located above the concession stand on the right field line.
The Warehouse: A large, stone structure makes up the majority of what would be foul territory and the bullpen in right field. Halfway down the right field line, the warehouse itself is the foul line, with any batted ball striking it being called foul.
The Fences: While Cardines may have a short porch in left and right field, the fences were once 20 feet high. In 2006, they were raised to 28 feet, with the exception of a 15 foot section in left center field that remains the old height, cut out for a tree branch to grow.
The Trees: Cardines Field is in the heart of a crowded neighborhood in Downtown Newport, and with homes just yards from the outfield fences (making broken windows common), trees grow over the height of the fence in left field. Any ball hitting a tree branch overhanging the fence but bouncing back into the field of play is an automatic home run.
The Ticket Booths: While the main Ticket Booth is located behind the press box, Cardines Field has a half dozen "hidden" ticket booths at gates throughout the ballpark. These unused booths have been covered up for decades, only visible from rooms in Cardines not normally accessible to the public.
The Triangle: Located at the deepest part of the ballpark, the Triangle, at 395 feet, forms an angle in straight away center where the fence opens to allow heavy equipment to access the field.
The Right Center Corner: Due to the property lines in the outfield and nearby homes, the fence in right centerfield juts in more than 40 feet, forming a sharp, right-angle corner. At the front end of the corner is a light tower in fair territory play at Cardines, making it one of the trickiest right fields to play in baseball.
Doubles Delight: The Newport Gulls frequently lead the NECBL in doubles, in part due to the dimensions and angles of Cardines Field's outfield fences.
Triple Rarity: Despite leading the league in doubles, the Gulls typically have among the fewest triples due to short dimensions of Cardines. The most common triples land in the triangle, or in the right field corner when balls bounce away from fielders.
Sea Breeze Boost: Located only a block away from the Atlantic Ocean, the sea breeze frequently has an impact on play, most commonly producing south west winds that blow the ball out towards right.
Extra Outs: Foul outs are rare at Cardines, with only a few feet of foul territory down the right field line and even less on the left field line (the grandstand makes up the back of the third base coach's box).
Not So Wild: Inexperienced runners often get caught at the plate trying to score from third on a wild pitch or passed ball. The limited foul territory means balls often bounce right back to alert catchers, getting pitchers out of jams in a rather unique fashion.
Close Calls: With so little foul territory, most seats at Cardines Field are protected by a series of wire fences, nets and poles that ring the ballpark's grandstands. With major roads lying only a few feet behind the grandstand, it is a standing safety rule that any fan chasing a foul ball into the street or intersection behind Cardines will not be readmitted to the ballpark.
No Press Box: The press facilities at Cardines are literally built into the grandstand behind home plate, creating odd viewing angles. Visiting media should be advised that fans sit directly in front of, next to, and behind reserved press seats. Table space is limited.
Fog Delays: Typically occurring once or twice per season, mid-summer fog, rolling off of the water only a block away, can make the already treacherous outfield at Cardines unplayable and unsafe. In the event of a fog delay, the umpiring crew will typically wait as long as possible for conditions to improve before calling or suspending the game.
The Flag and Scoreboard: Foul territory in front of the warehouse on the first base line includes the scoreboard support beams, which are in the field of play, and the flagpole , which was originally located in play in the Triangle in center field but was moved to its present location in 2006.
Mudville Seats: Located next door to Cardines is the Mudville Pub, which features a seating area where dozens of fans can watch the game from foul territory, protected by a fence. The private apartments above Mudville include a third floor deck, where fans also congregate.

Why couldn't you just add the mod for download on MODDB? I've no idea where the download link is on that website.
(Version 2.07)
A.R.R.C. is a complex modification for Anno 2070. The goal is to offer many alternatives, but not create elements too powerful. Create a lot of new buildings, research new upgrades and enjoy a better gaming experience.
This Mod adds many new changes into the gameplay:
The mod supports the english, russian and german version of Anno 2070 and Anno 2070 - Deep Ocean!
The latest version of this mod is available on our HOMEPAGE
1 comment by arrc on Dec 8th, 2013
It took a long, but now it's finally, the expected last update in the year 2013. Primarily this update should only fix a lot of bugs, but are nevertheless still added some interesting contents over time. In addition to several new buildings, units, decorative elements and optical improvements, the Russian players can look forward to the support of the Russian language now. At this point again Special thanks to the translator "0pupentium".
Since the new forum is used excellent and always adding new good suggestions, of course, many of which have been implemented directly. So we hope that the forum will continue to be used as good as before, and we hope it stays that way. A summary of all suggestions can be found in the relevant collection thread in the forum. With a little luck then is your suggestion in the next update of it! :)
Also our partner "DaLexy" updated the popular map pack up to date. Thus, the map pack is now finally usable for maps that are created without add-on. Also the problems about create maps in the past are solved. To make the whole easiest for all, the map pack is now also known as optional content in the installer of the A.R.R.C. Mod. Consequently, it is longer necessary to add the map pack manually with the RDA-Explorer.
The demand calculator of Elodia for the A.R.R.C.-Mod has been updated to the mod version 2.07 and is now integrated in our homepage. It is also translated into English now.
We wish you a lot of fun and hope you like it! :)
The Download is available here.
Ornamental buildings
Build menu
Why couldn't you just add the mod for download on MODDB? I've no idea where the download link is on that website.
The ark is an online feature of Anno 2070. So it's not available in offline mode. But with AnnoCookie it's possible to to play with mod online and there you'll have your ark.
This is one of the most biggest modifications to a game I've seen so far. I'm gonna give it a try!
I cant wait to try the new version, and kudos on the English website, makes it much easier to find what i need to play this mod.
Thanks and have fun :)
Question however, If i am playing a modded version of Anno, with the Anno cookie thing, can a buddy with just a vanilla version of Anno join me? A friend just bought the game and wants to play it a bit before modding it, even tho i keep telling him about this mod. lol
No it's not possible. The Game checks if both have the same version. When he wants to join your game there will be a message with an ansynchron game data error.
Hey, I have a question for you developers and I really hope it get's answered. I understand is might be difficult to implement new things in the mod but is it maybe possible that you look at the player ideas page on the Anno 2070 wiki (http://anno2070.wikia.com/wiki/Player_Ideas) and maybe implement some things? Also is it possible for you to improve the texture of Helios and Deimos? The upper deck of these ships look terrible... (in my opinion)
There are a lot of good ideas, but unfortunatly the most ideas cannot be done. It's not possible to change the GUI of Anno 2070 and so we can never add there new missions or scenarios. Also a lot of these buildings seems to be not possible. We can only do smaller changes.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 12/4/12
Bears QB Jay Cutler wants to keep his team's payroll flexible and would take less money in his next deal if it meant that Chicago could bring in new talent, the signal caller mentioned on ESPN 1000′s "The Jay Cutler Show". "I want to be on a successful team, and I know that paying one or two or three players premium (salaries) hurts your chances of being able to bring in extra talent," Cutler said. "So when we get there, we'll figure it out." The Bears have played well this season but the team would be well-suited to bring in another offensive lineman or two to protect Cutler. Should the quarterback negotiate a cap-friendly contract, Chicago could pursue a high-profile free agent or two this offseason.

Dan Wolken: Grizzlies and small-market mates need true salary cap
Since its arrival in Memphis, the NBA has been blissfully free of labor strife, with the last collective bargaining negotiations in 2005 providing almost no threat of a work stoppage. Now, that danger is here, with nothing at stake except the entire way our small-market franchise does business.
It would truly be a shame if Grizzlies fans had to endure a lockout in 2011-12, as many experts have predicted. But a new collective bargaining agreement without a legitimate salary cap would be worse.
What:Preseason finale
When, where: 6:30 p.m. CDT, today; Auburn Hills, Mich.
TV, radio: No TV, WRBO-FM (103.5)
As CBA negotiations become a more prominent part of NBA media coverage over the next year, you'll hear a lot of propaganda about the financial health of the league. Commissioner David Stern has already declared woe on behalf of his owners, claiming hundreds of millions in losses each year under the current deal. The Players' Association can point to the big contracts thrown at free agents this past July as evidence that owners have money to spend.
"Given the data available to outside observers, it's impossible to know," sports economist and University of Michigan professor Rod Fort said. "A lot of what you're hearing is indeed posturing."
But does it really matter who's right?
For the Grizzlies, the key is what economic system emerges on the other side. Either the new CBA will look similar to the old CBA, providing a salary cap that doesn't really function as a salary cap, or there will be something else.
Anyone who cares about Memphis' ability to compete for championships should root for something else.
Since 1984, the NBA has worked under a "soft" salary cap, with enough exceptions built in that teams can essentially spend whatever they want. The Lakers' $95 million payroll is more than 35 percent bigger than the Grizzlies', which comes in just under the luxury tax cutoff of $70.3 million.
We can point to more than a dozen mistakes the Grizzlies have made in their decade here that would have helped them become more competitive with the NBA's elite. But the same system that forced the Grizzlies to determine it didn't make financial sense to pay Pau Gasol $18 million to be their best player allows the Lakers to pay him that much to be Kobe Bryant's sidekick.
For the NBA to have true competitive balance, the next CBA must include a hard cap like the NHL or NFL, whose rules don't allow for exceptions that favor the richest teams. Because a hard cap would certainly lower salaries, it could very well be the issue that forces a season-long stalemate. But in the long term, it would be worth it.
"The argument that really is the focus of the debate is the idea that Memphis and New Orleans need a hard cap to compete with the Knicks and Lakers and other big-market teams," Tulane professor and sports economist Gabe Feldman said. "To a certain extent, there may be some truth to that. But I'm not sure a hard cap is the perfect fix, and there are other issues you need to be concerned with."
Proponents of a soft cap would argue the only reason Memphis had a chance to keep Rudy Gay this summer was the ability to give him more guaranteed money, which is the device used in the current CBA to help teams keep their own free agents. Feldman thinks a hard cap similar to the NHL's would take away the Grizzlies' advantage in those situations.
"If Memphis can (only) pay the same salary as New York, how many payers are going to choose Memphis?" he said. "I'm not sure that leaves Memphis in a better position."
A hard cap, however, does limit how many big contracts a franchise can carry. Under that system, there's simply no way LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh could have all ended up signing with the Miami Heat.
What the formation of the Heat proved -- as well as the ongoing Carmelo Anthony trade drama in Denver -- is that the true superstars are no longer worried about the extra money they could make by staying with the teams that drafted them. If Denver can't keep Anthony happy despite spending well over the luxury tax in an attempt to win titles, what chance would the Grizzlies have?
A hard cap wouldn't necessarily help Memphis keep a superstar, but a well-run team in a small market wouldn't have a huge disadvantage in the title hunt.
"Some fans already don't like the parity in the NFL where they've chosen some other mechanisms, including the cap, to make teams spend about the same amount of money," Fort said. "People worry, is that league too balanced? Does it give too much incentive to put mediocre teams out there? Is that what the fans in Memphis really want?"
They might soon find out. Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Wizards, said recently he expected a hard cap to be the ultimate outcome of this negotiation. Stern fined him $100,000, a big-enough number that NBA executives -- including Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace, who declined comment -- now have no interest in talking about the CBA.
Wallace can talk about the future, however, and the fact that Memphis has just $21.4 million in salary on the books for 2011-12, most of which is tied up in Gay's new deal (he'll make $15 million). They also have team options for several other players, including O.J. Mayo at $5.6 million, which you'd expect them to pick up.
But what the Grizzlies have most is flexibility. As of now, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol will be free agents after this season, and Mike Conley will become one if the Grizzlies decline to make him a qualifying offer of $6.5 million. If the NBA comes in with a hard cap, Memphis won't under any scenario be forced to decimate its roster.
"We'll have to sign some players in the near future in Zach and Marc Gasol, but we're not laden with long-term contracts," Wallace said.
Other teams, meanwhile, might have to shed players to get under the salary ceiling. For once, the economics of their sport would be in the Grizzlies' favor.

Yep, the Society of Jesus gets all the good ones…Over at "In All Things," the blog of America magazine, the flagship Jesuit weekly, Father Jim Martin–an author of no minor celebrity himself, reports that Brad Pitt has been cast as Father Emilio Sandoz, a Jesuit scientist, in the film version of Mary Doria Russell's "The Sparrow."
The novel, as Father Martin notes, is about "a group of Jesuit scientists and lay colleagues who discover life on far-off planet with some tragic results."
Of course, Martin also asks the central theological question Pitt–and viewers–will face in this movie: "Is he handsome enough to play a Jesuit priest?"
Meanwhile, I heard Scorsese is filming another remarkable saga of Jesuits, Shusaku Endo's "Silence." That'll be a real challenge.

Convention Circuit - Most Favorite Person You've Met?
View Single Post
March 27 2013, 12:00 AM
Re: Convention Circuit - Most Favorite Person You've Met?
Some of my best experiences, in random order but starting with a fave;
Nana Visitor - I really have to fight the urge to gush here, but it's not easy. She was the very first Trek guest I ever met at my first con back in 2007, I was very nervous about meeting so many of my heroes and wasn't sure if this was something I could ever do again...until I met her. I'd been getting a bit annoyed with myself after meeting a few other people and being a bit...well, I'm not sure what the right word would be. It was just starting to get to me that I wasn't really saying anything to these people beyond 'can you sign this/can I have a photo with you/kthxbai'.
But then I met Nana, and one of the most remarkable things about her is that when she says hello to you it's like she knows you, like you're an old friend and she's genuinely pleased to see you. And without going any further down memory lane with regard to that first meeting, I really do believe that the only reason that the only reason I'm still going to conventions six years later is because somehow she gave me the confidence to keep going, to not be quite so shy around all these people who I've admired and respected for so long.
I got to meet her again in 2011, and tell her some of that and...well, her response just confirmed everything that I'd taken away from that first meeting. Except more so. With hugs and kisses and everything. Forget nice convention guests - she is one of the nicest people I've ever met
. Saw her twice more last year, including at the Star Trek London event, where I got a lovely photo of the two of us hugging.
Andrew Robinson - really nice guy on all three occasions I've met him, friendly and talkative and the second time I saw him he actually remembered from the first time which was just fantastic. Stood on his head during his talk.
J.G. Hertzler - oh wow. He's just this big bear of a man, really great guy, but what really sold me on him was having a photoshoot - with him made up as Martok and Robert O'Reilly as Gowron. Now while O'Reilly was just O'Reilly under all the makeup, Hertzler really was Martok, he was 100% in character. When one of the girls looking after everyone's bags had a little bout of the giggles he actually swaggered over to her in full Martok mode and asked "What is the joke, small Earth woman? Share it with me!" The guy is beyond cool.
Robin Curtis - what a wonderful surprise she was! Hadn't really heard anything about what she was like, so it was wonderful to find she was a very approachable, very friendly and all round lovely lady. Met her at Star Trek London last year; one of the other guests invited me to sit with them at their signing table for a while, so I got to chat to Robin a little more than I might have been able to otherwise. Later on, I was just a few moments too late for my photoshoot with her, and they had to call her back especially. Rather than be annoyed she actually seemed to pleased to see me again; "oh, you dear sweet man! If I'd known it was you I would have flown over here!"
Eddie Paskey - just a really nice old gent who seems genuinely touched that people remember him for something he did such a long time ago.
George Takei - an all-round smiley happy genuinely nice human being.
Brent Spiner - yeah, you heard me. Brent Spiner. I was really nervous about meeting him; Data's always been my fave TNG character, but knowing Brent's reputation for being a bit of a joke I didn't want to make an idiot of myself and provide an opening for the guy who played my fave TNG character to rip me a new one.
But it didn't go like that at all. If fact, out of all the TNG cast he was the easiest of all of them to chat to, switching back and forth between normal and marvellously gloriously crazy all over the place ("You're just the man to answer a question that's been plaguing me for literally two whole seconds!"). I don't remember how we got there from him asking me where I was from but he ended up doing his Patrick Stewart impression and reciting a chunk of
The Merchant of Venice
at me. I know some people find his silliness a bit hard to cope with, but honestly I find silliness comes much more easily to me than "Hi how are you?" style small talk so it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Saw him again at DSTL last year, and got a fistbump and a "Great to see you again, man!", which made me feel pretty good.
Despite this list being in random order, I'm going to end it with my all-time Trek-related person;
Chase Masterson - don't even know where to begin here. I could write an entire book about my experiences of meeting Chase, and still not manage to do justice to what she's done for me. But I'll just say it - she's become my friend. Very few people in my life have looked me in the eye and said "You're my friend." and really meant it, and even fewer people have actually followed through on those words. But in the last twelve months Chase has been a real friend to me, and that's just so wonderful to be able to say. Can't quite believe it's happened, but I'm extremely grateful that it has.

A local resident emailed me yesterday to ask me to attend a meeting last night where the 2008-2009 budget would be discussed. I chose not to attend for two reasons.
First, the union-backed majority of elected board members (Hier, Wilson, Wreford, and Murray) don't really want to hear the publics ideas as they've already got a solution worked out. Even if I voiced my opinion I'd simply be smiled at and not answered.
Second, my family is more important to me than attending a 4 hour long meeting where the public is repeatedly ignored and slapped in the face.
But that doesn't mean I don't have ideas. Here are 5 ideas to shave off some fat from the Romeo Community Schools budget. (All of which will be ignored completely!)
A quick review
+ RSC has a budget of roughly $48 million.
+ Roughly 90% of that budget is dedicated to employee costs, about $43 million.
+ With 653 employees, they spend roughly $66,000 per employee annually.
+ They need to cut $1.3 million from the budget.
+ The remaining $5 million pays for all instructional materials, classroom supplies and equipment, and a billion other miscellaneous things.
+ Most of the 653 employees of the district are union employees, and the largest group– teachers– are working without a contract. Meaning, this contract is open to negotiation.
+ A 5% reduction in overall staffing costs would save the district $2.1 million dollars.
+ To date, the board has only talked about cutting $1.3 million from the $5 million outside of staffing costs. (With some minor variations.)
+ Note: I don't have exact numbers because RCS choses to keep their budgets from the people.
- Adjust the health care package of all employees. The health care industry has gone through dramatic changes in the last 3-4 years. The "fat cat municipal" accounts are always increasing their benefits and rarely decrease them. By changing something minor like a co-pay or deductible, there are a few percentage points of savings that no employee would even notice.
- Freeze all increases for 2008-2009. Let's translate what "without a contract" means. It means that the union employees contract continues as is. In other words, they are going to continue getting their annual increases for the next school year if they don't sign a contract. It means they haven't gotten a signing bonus the district can't afford. I don't know the details, but in general not having a contract is good for the teachers in this situation. (Because even a union-backed board would be committing political suicide to approve increases in a year that the budget will decrease.) By freezing employee increases for 2008-2009, you've solved a big chunk of your budget crisis right there. Play out the "what-ifs." Are you worried about teachers quitting? With unemployment high and every district cutting budgets… teachers have no where to go. Compare the teachers to what happened at American Axel. Union employees just reached an agreement where line workers went from $28/hour to $18/hour in order to save their jobs. I'm not talking about pay decreases, I'm talking about freezing increases!
- Contract out some non-instructional labor. I know that this is controversial but lets face it, a major problem in our state is a general denial that our economy cannot support fat union contracts for every employee. In many cases, contracting out the labor for non-instructional labor would save millions of dollars in just 2-3 years. When you include government incentives for hiring minority or female owned businesses, the district could save even more money and the same people would likely be employed by these non-union contractors that are working in our schools today.
- Hire local contractors only. I'm rather tired of going to a board meeting and meeting lawyers, builders, architects, planners, and other contract employees of the district who don't live in the district. Why are we hiring contractors from Rochester, Troy, Sterling Heights, Bloomfield Hills, and Warren and passing up local contractors who could charge less simply based on the mileage? It's time to keep local dollars local and save some money!
- Sweeten the pot for buying out the top. The reality is that for every 30+ year teacher you could likely hire or keep 2-3 teachers with less than 5 years of experience. There are several teachers at each school who could retire in a couple of weeks and save the district some money. Just sweeten the pot a little and you've saved yourself some serious cash.

PATHETIC! really PATHETIC!
Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 1/2/13
Buried at the end of Jim Thomas' column in the St. Louis Patch-Dispatch about the Rams' rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein and rookie punter Johnny Hekker is a nugget that sadly sums up Tim Tebow's season. Here it is in all of its sad glory. An added bonus from Hekker was his prowess on trick plays. As Zuerlein's holder, he threw a touchdown pass in the first Seattle game. He also completed two passes on fake punts Nov. 11 in San Francisco, helping the Rams earn a 24-24 overtime tie. "It was awesome," Hekker said. "Being a specialist, you love to contribute any way that you can. And me being able to throw the ball, as an old quarterback it's kind of like reliving the glory days." In the believe-it-or-not category, Hekker's 42 yards passing on three completions in three attempts gave him more passing yards this season than Tim Tebow, who completed six of eight for 39 yards for the New York Jets. "Oh man, I feel bad for Tim Tebow to be honest," Hekker said. We do too, Johnny. We do too. The pos

i dont believe they have given tim tebow a fair shake he is a good quarter back and leader you have to play him in order for him or anyone else in that position to run up any number or stats he is a class act honest trust worthy hard and dedacated player plus he gives credit to his creator GOD almighty i think they should thank god they have him there play play and ill say it again play him give him a fair chance then you will see the real TEBOW AGREAT QUARTER BACK PLAY HIM WHAT ARE THEY SCARED OF
I think your right bird 819, this has nothing to do with religion with what I'm about to say. My question is, why did they even bring him in? I could not understand the signing of Tebow, and I cannot understand it to this day. Do some of you think it was a PR thing? Would somebody please explain to me why they did it? I live in the Seattle area and have been a Seahawk fan since the beginning, and I have seen alot of interesting signings over the decades, but the Tebow signing has been a real head scratcher to me. I'm just glad my team was not involved. Would someone please tell me why they pulled such a move?
I totally agree with you. He's a great quaterback and a good man. They should thank thier luck stars that they have him and anybody that gets him and makes him their starter, they will see how good he is when given the chance to play.
Tebow would be a great QB but need to fire Rex Ryan today
You've GOT to be kidding! "What are they scared of"....????Well, they're NOT scared of winning, and they ARE scared of losing. If Tebow really was the quality quarterback his college fans believe, the Jets would've used him in a flash. These people are professionals, and to them NOTHING trumps winning. Coaches lose their jobs when the team doesn't win, so it's to their benefit to use the best players they have as much as they can.
Tebow's signing wasn't about football; it was a publicity stunt pure and simple, aimed at putting fannies in the seats. Watching video of him play, they KNEW he wasn't an NFL-quality QB. He throws almost sidearm, so he can't even get the ball out of the pocket (over 6'5" & 6'7" linemen), and since he can only pass rolling out, opponents rush him from the sides to keep him in the pocket. Tebow's college reputation was built around facing opponents who had maybe two or three NFL-quality defenders each. In the NFL, every opponent has a full team of NFL-quality defenders.
Adrien Peterson for MVP!!!!!!!
who the hell is Tim Tebow?
What planet are you living on?????? no football there??????
get off this site you idiot!
In order to have stats you ahve to play! The comparison is stupid. Irrelevant. Ryan is a fat joke. He went with Sanchez, he blew it, he should be fired. NY won't do any better next year. Ryan is where the buck stops.
Tebow is unconventional, but he wins. May have been wise in NY to try the man out.
on second thought the longer i sit here and think about it tim is too good for new york u guys needs to trade him get rid of him let a better team have him then later on they can come back with tebow leading them and put a smackdown on the jets thats what i would love GO TEBOW GOD BLESS YOU FOR A LONG CAREER YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD ON RIGHT
why are so many people jealous of tebow?
More than anything else, it showed the Rams at least had some ideas. Can't say that about the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS.
Really! let up on Tim! Give the kid a chance after all he did bring his team last year all the way to the play offs!
Once again in front of my face is another NEGATIVE article about somebody who just tries to play a game and make a living for himself and family. This man has worked his tail off to be where he is at. It sickens me that a writer/press has nothing better to do with their time but to down grade an individual and make him into a joke. You people need to look at yourselves in the mirror and see who the joke is. And we all wonder why the world is crumbling at our feet. Be productive and positive, and leave these good people alone.
and the writer of this story is a better writer than Ernest Hemingway
The reason tebo didn't play was because sanchez was giving ryan the dirty sanchez.
I totally agree, give Tim Tebow a chance, Denver should of kept him as their ist string, incase Manning got hurt, Having 4 neck surgeries is dangerous. I know I have a daughter who had 4 neck surgeries and now is disabled. He is a great quarterback.
I could come up with a few things that could defined Tim but the most telling issue is the crew he played with. Where it seemed that they would have lined up against him rather than play with him when he was put in the game. Where it seems Greg was a wanted member of his team.
But the real telling story about this article/blurb is that this writer has such a dislike for Tim and/or his faith, that he takes the time to find such an insignificant fact/stat just to try to be-little Tim. If the writer had any self esteem or thought much of them-self they could and would find something to write about that had some value. Because my belief is that Tim Tebow knows he will be the one standing when it all shakes out.
So they need to grow up or find another line of work that will suit their personality.
ryans the jets down fall not tebow.
This wasnt about Tim Tebow's ability, It was about keeping him on the bench. Ask yourself why?
I would pay money to see Tim Tebow play .Wont waste a dime on Rex and Sanchez you can have them.Trade them quick before you lose your fans................
I really don't think the punter could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the postseason, passing for 300+ yards and 4 TDs. How about play the guy?
Tim Tebows needs to move on and get away from Rex Ryan.
Fine another teem that can better him as a quarterback
Hekker also had less interceptions than Sanchez. Why didn't the writer talk about that?
I stake my rep on Tebow... the 1st coach to develop that awesome potential will be far richer... too bad EGO's keep gettin in the way.
Whoever wrote this article - you are such a D-bag. Punter throws for more yards than Tebow, 'whoeeee, so funny, Tebow sucks, pathetic etc. etc." You're a dou-he. We are all seriously a lot dumber for having read your article, and you're the first blog that I decided to waste 30 seconds of my life to sign up feeling compelled to comment on this dumbass blog.

In a Skype interview with Lebanese TV, Hamas spokeswoman Isra Al-Mudallal acknowledged that Hamas soldiers in Gaza confronted foreign journalists depicting Hamas missile launch sites and gave them a choice: report a different story, or leave.
Since the current round of conflict in Gaza began, the Israeli press as well as the government have accused the Western media of focusing on the death and injury caused by Israeli attacks, while refusing to depict Hamas fighters and rockets embedded in civilian populations.
On Friday, Al-Mudallal, in a conversation translated by MEMRI, The Middle East Media Research Institute, confirmed the Israeli accusations that Hamas deceived, threatened, deported and intimidated journalists in Gaza .
"The security agencies would go and have a chat with these people," she said. "They would give them some time to change their message, one way or another.
"Some of the journalists who entered the Gaza Strip were under security surveillance," the spokeswoman said. "Even under these difficult circumstances, we managed to reach them, and tell them that what they were doing was anything but professional journalism, and that it was immoral."
The sub-titled interview with the Hamas spokeswoman gets especially interesting at the 1:30 mark.

Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle in 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Will Batman have two or three villains in "The Dark Knight Rises"? Warner Bros. announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in the third Christopher Nolan Batman film. In comic book lore, Kyle is also known as Catwoman.
In a statement from the studio, Nolan said, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story."
In addition, the studio announced Tom Hardy, who appeared in Nolan's Oscar contender "Inception," has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, "I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman's most formidable enemies."
Earlier reports indicated that Nolan was also casting to play Talia, the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, the villain Liam Neeson portrayed in "Batman Begins." Talia has been Batman's adversary at times in the comic book. It's unclear whether she's just a love interest this time around. The character was not mentioned in the studio's release.
Selina Kyle has been played most famously as Catwoman by Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar in the '60s "Batman" TV show and by Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns."
Hathaway most recently appeared opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in "Love and Other Drugs." Other 2010 releases included "Valentine's Day" and "Alice in Wonderland." Hathaway's next gig is co-hosting the 83rd Academy Awards with James Franco.
"The Dark Knight Rises" opens nationwide on July 22, 2012.

Will I have to go through US Customs and Immigration at Calgary. I am flying on the 12.05.2013
and from the Flight times I have a just over 3 hour layover in Calgary
The world's best hotels.
Get the list.
Will I have to go through US Customs and Immigration at Calgary. I am flying on the 12.05.2013
and from the Flight times I have a just over 3 hour layover in Calgary
Yes, Calgary has US border preclearance.
When you land at YYC you first clear Canadian Immigration, collect your bags, pass through Customs and then leave the International Arrivals area. Up one level is the US departure area. If you have a boarding pass for your LAS flight you then proceed straight through to US pre-clearance where you do US Immigration, customs, drop your bags and then clear security. You have to fill out a USCBP form before you enter the pre-clearnace area.
3 hours should be plenty of time under normal circumstances.
Be aware that the US departure gate area is rather sparse in terms of facilities....there is a Starbucks, an uninspiring bar and a Relay type newsagent/ convenience store. So if you're hungry and thirsty.....yeah.
So at YYC:-
Canadian immigration
Collect bags
Canadian customs
Leave international arrivals
Enter US departure area
US pre-clearance
US immigration
US customs
Drop bags
Security clearance
Sparse US departure gate area
Have I missed anything? Don't think I'll be visiting North America anytime soon!
Well, things are made more complicated because you are compressing the arrival procedures for two countries into one airport, so there are going to be tons of steps - the good part is that once you get to your destination in the US, you won't have to worry about anything more than a normal domestic US flight - in other word,s pick up your bags and you're out! I'd rather do that while I am hanging around at an intermediate airport, and just get out once I get to my destination!
OK don't visit thats fine...
You can't walk into one country (Canada) and not do its entry formalities, just because you're transferring to another country (the US). USA pre-clearance is a huge benefit in my opinion. As TravellingBrit points out - it makes the arrival, or subsequent connection, at an American airport much easier.
...and I merely pointed out the sparseness of the US departure area as a courtesy to the OP. A whole new terminal is being constructed at YYC and hopefully it will be better then.
It's not that complicated at all connecting airports. In some Canadian airports, you don't need to head to the main Canadian customs hall and claim baggage. You instead head to a transfer desk for a check of your papers, and then to US immigration and customs without need to claim your bags. Instead, images of the bags are relayed to the officers and they need only be pulled if they want a further inspection. So the process does vary by airport, but no matter which one you connect through, when you get to the US, you just grab your baggage and go.
As Africandaisy points out, they are building a new terminal at YYC. I expect once complete, connections would be smoother, like the processes in YUL, YYZ and YVR.
Thank you for the infomation, as it was stated it is better doing this at Calgary whilst awaiting my onward flight to Vegas and not at Vegas where who knows how long it can take,. Just one question if I have not a boarding card for onward journey to Vegas I assume I book in at the Air Canada booking in area as normal. Also what is A USCBP form
If you don't have a boarding pass you will get one at the Air Canada desk, in the US departures area, which is in front of the US pre-clearance area. However if you are on one ticket, and especially if you are flying both legs on Air Canada, there is no reason why they would not give it to you when you check in at LHR.
Its the Customs Declaration form for the US...they are found on tables in the check-in area.
Once again thanks for the info. least I know what to expect and where to go on arrrival at Calgary. I will ask when I book in at Heathrow re boarding card for Vegas as all my flights are with Air Canada.
Oh, and when you arrive in Calgary you will see elderly people standing around dressed in red waistcoats and white cowboy hats - they are volunteers who will point you in the right direction, and answer any other questions you my have. They are really nice to have around.

then i was wondering what i can do in this situation???

by W.7 license you mean the Product Key,right?
that should be at the bottom of your laptop.
Hello ,
If you created factory intial 3 DVDs you can use them to make OEM activation , it will return everything to initial state and re-create OEM partition as well. Or you can use your product key which is under the machine.

I'm not going to start new thread, instead going to ask from here.
I'd like to know where can I obitain image/CDs or DVD for Windows 7 install. I have win 7 OA licence key under lap. I swapped my HDD and installed Windows8, now this lap is being used by my brother and he would like to have original Windows 7 back.
I didn't make any recoverdy discs, so I don't have any media for reinstalling Windows 7. Laptop is Lenovo B560.
Either purchase install media from Lenovo support, or download the version of '7 that matches your orginal install and license. You may need to use the phone option to activate.
With the 2nd option, you'll end up with the Microsoft "vanilla" install, and will probably want/need to install the appropriate Lenovo drivers manually.

Heart attack is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. Each year, about 1.1 million Americans suffer a heart attack, and 460,000 of these are fatal. Most of the deaths from heart attacks are caused by ventricular fibrillation of the heart that occurs before the victim of the heart attack can reach an emergency room. Those who reach the emergency room have an excellent prognosis; survival from a heart attack with modern treatment should exceed 90%. The 1% to 10% of heart attack victims who die later include those victims who suffer major damage to the heart muscle initially or who suffer additional damage at a later time. Fortunately, procedures such as coronary angiogram and PTCA (coronary balloon angioplasty), and clot dissolving drugs are available that can quickly open blocked arteries in order to restore circulation to the heart and limit heart muscle damage. In order to optimally benefit heart attack victims and limit the extent of heart damage, these treatments to open blocked arteries should be given early during a heart attack.
Knowing the early warning signs of heart attack is critical for prompt recognition and treatment. Many heart attacks start slowly, unlike the dramatic portrayal often seen in the movies. A person experiencing a heart attack may not even be sure of what is happening. Heart attack symptoms vary among individuals, and even a person who has had a previous heart attack may have different symptoms in a subsequent heart attack. Although chest pain or pressure is the most common symptom of a heart attack, heart attack victims may experience a diversity of symptoms that include:
