It is a beautiful day and you are strolling along a quiet country road with your dog when all of a sudden a strange dog appears from out of nowhere. His hackles are up and his ears are erect and tilted forward. You are not sure, but you think you heard a growl. Do you know what this dog is trying to tell you?
If you don't, you and your dog could be in big trouble because this is one of the signs that a dog is on the alert and ready to attack if necessary. He's telling you that you and your dog are not welcome. The two of you are trespassing on his territory and he does not like it. Get ready for a possible confrontation or slowly retreat to avoid a possible dogfight.
One of the best ways to tell the mood of a dog is to analyze the position of the canine's ears. Since dogs cannot talk, they use their bodies to communicate with other dogs and with their human friends and enemies. Just as their tails and the rest of their bodies tell a story, so do their ears.
Ear positions can tell you a lot about a dog's level of attention and reaction to an outside stimulus such as another animal or a particular situation. They can tell you if the dog is feeling playful or friendly, stressed or aggressive.
Be sure to look at the whole picture, not just the position of the ears or tail when approaching a strange dog. While the ear positions may not always be a 100 percent guarantee of a dog's mood, reading them in addition to the rest of a dog's body language is a fairly good indication of how a dog is feeling. Ear position in conjunction with facial tension, the way a dog carries its tail and the way a dog distributes his or her body weight all tell a story about the dog's current frame of mind.
However, it is important to note that one should never assume that a strange dog is safe to approach, no matter what its body language is saying. Always use caution when approaching animals that you do not know. Do not assume the animal is friendly until you have had time to assess the situation and dog's body language. In many cases, it is better to allow the animal to approach you. This keeps the dog from feeling threatened by you.
When a dog is naturally relaxed, his or her ears are up and the head is held erect. This usually happens in conjunction with a wagging tail and the fact that the dog is standing with equal weight on all four feet.
When aroused by something pleasant in the environment, a dog's ears are usually positioned in a way that they are up and forward. This usually will happen in conjunction with a loosely wagging tail and a relaxed muzzle. The dog's tongue may stick out. Sometimes canines will use this position to show that they are subordinate to others in a pack.
When a dog is considering an aggressive attack, he or she will hold their head erect and the ears will be tilted forward. In addition, the dog's hackles will usually be standing up and the tail will be raised and stiff. The dog's weight is usually forward because the canine is preparing to charge. This position can be used defensively as well as threateningly.
When a dog acknowledges another dog or a human that he or she believes has a higher social rank, a dog will strike a pacifying position. The ears will be back and lying close to the head. The tail will hang low and wag slowly and the dog will probably have one paw raised.
When a dog wants to indicate total surrender, the ears will be back while the dog lies on his or her back to show acceptance of the more dominant ones. The tail will be tucked between the dog's rear legs and it is not unusual for the dog to release a few drops of urine.
Take caution when you see a dog with ears back, pupils dilated, hackles up and a snarling muzzle. This means the dog is fearful and does not want you to approach. Failure to respect the dog's wishes can get you bit!
Dogs that want to play with you will have their ears up and their eyes will be soft. Usually the mouth is open and relaxed and the tongue is exposed. The dog's tail will usually be in an upward position and wagging. The dog will lower his or her front end and look as though they are ready to leap. This position also serves as an invitation to courtship.
When greeting another dog or an adult that is superior, a dog will often take a submissive posture. The ears are back and the eyes are partially closed. The tail is down and the front paw is usually raised.
When two dogs greet each other, the more dominant one will usually have its ears up and tail forward. The more submissive dog will have his or her ears back, telling the other dog that he or she is aware of their dominance.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which has its headquarters in New York City, offers some good illustrations on dog stances in relation to their moods.
Visit the site at: http://www.aspca.org
The illustrations on this website are well done and easy to understand. In fact, share the site with friends, neighbors and family members. Show the illustrations to your children to make them aware of the fact that dogs do communicate their moods through their body language. Respecting a dog's body language can go a long way in keeping a person from being bitten.

Experience Points and Levels
Once you become a Level 1 Avatar, you are immediately eligible to begin receiving rewards for your endeavors. These rewards are called "Experience Points" (EPs), and you can receive them in three basic ways.
First, the Nexus will reward you with 5 EP for every hour of successful Journeying you complete. The length of the Journey must be determined in advance (up to a maximum of 8 hours per Journey, or 40 EPs). If your Host dies during the Journey and you are returned before its completion, you will not receive any EPs (even if you die in the 8th hour and have already qualified for 35 EPs). Your Chaperone is responsible for reporting your successful Journey to the Nexus (he must hand you a signed EP form for you to present to the Nexus), and you will be credited with your EPs shortly after the completion of the Journey.
Note that a role playing session must be Nexus sanctioned and the gamemaster must be a qualified Double Exposure GM in order for you to receive EPs for the session. There are restrictions on the number of sessions any Double Exposure GM can run outside of official Double Exposure events. Also, multiple sessions at the same sanctioned event usually count as a single Journey unless specifically stated otherwise.
Second, the Nexus will reward the winners of pre-sanctioned, structured Skill Challenges with the following points: 10 EPs for winning, 5 EPs for placing second, and 3 EP for showing third. In order for a Skill Challenge to qualify for rewards, it must have a minimum of 8 participants (not counting an Avatar who is watching over the Challenge, who is called the "Director"). The Director is responsible for reporting your EPs to the Nexus (he must hand you a signed EP form for you to present to the Nexus), and you will be credited with your EPs shortly after the completion of the Skill Challenge.
Note that a wargame, board game or card game must be Nexus sanctioned and the Director must be a qualified Double Exposure Director in order for you to receive EPs for the game. There are restrictions on the number of games any Double Exposure Director can run outside of official Double Exposure events.
Third, players will earn EP for attending official Double Exposure events. Anyone who attends an event will earn a minimum amount of EP (called the "base"), and depending on what they do at the event, they may earn a "multiplier" which will be factored with the base to come up with an EP total for the event. Some Double Exposure events are themed events with a plot; players are never forced to participate in a given plot, but those who do are usually the ones who will receive the highest multipliers. All event EP is given at the END of the event.
On your CC, you will find a number that represents how many EPs are required for you to advance to the next Level. You may not make any changes to your Avatar until you have reached the next Level. A Level 1 Avatar needs 10 EPs to advance to Level 2. The following table shows how many EPs are required for each Level.
At Level 8, each Avatar will have the ability to name up to 3 Apprentices (during the lifetime of the character) whom he takes into his care as a Mentor. This Apprentice would have to be someone who is NEW to the Avatar System and who is beginning at Level 0 or 1. For every EP the Apprentice earns through Level 5, the Mentor would earn an equal EP, in addition to his own. This is subject to the ACTUAL limits placed on the Apprentice, so for example, at Level 1, the Mentor could earn no more than 10 EP from the Apprentice. The terms Apprentice/Mentor are generic, and could just as easily describe Father/Son. Note that in the case of Father & Mother (or other such situations), more than one Avatar would be allowed to have the same Apprentice, but all EP bonuses get split evenly among those who are Mentors. When the Avatar reaches Level 6, no further game action recognition is necessary, although of course the relationship with his mentor can be role played permanently.
Upon reaching Level 10, an Avatar is recognized by the Nexus as being a "Nexus Lord". At this point, the player may begin a secondary character (but may only have a maximum of two characters at any given time), and is granted certain special privileges:
1) A Nexus Lord is given a section of the Nexus called a "Domain" in which he is able to define his own slice of reality to rule as he sees fit. Other Avatars who visit his Domain are able to earn EP directly from the Nexus Lord for achieving quests and goals set by the Lord, up to a maximum of 40 EP during any 8-hour period.
2) A Nexus Lord is given a special Item of Protection from the Nexus which will further define his character and protect him from the hazards of the Multiverse. This item is selected BY the Nexus with no input from the player at a time that the Nexus chooses.
3) A Nexus Lord begins earning additional "Ability Points" (explained below), which are available immediately and may be used at ANY time, directly by earning normal EP. A Nexus Lord will earn 1 AP for every 50 EP he earns for the rest of the character's life, regardless of his Genre.
4) A Nexus Lord is considered to be "fully realized" in the Multiverse and may define new (special) Skills or Powers for his character (within limits). These Skills and Powers may be an extension of the existing rules or may be completely new, but will only be available for the Nexus Lord who defined it. These Skills and Powers have a VARIABLE cost depending on their complexity and relative effectiveness, and the Lord needs to have enough AP to buy it once it is approved and rated. A nexus Lord may only buy ONE special Skill or Power upon reaching Level 10 and using the new AP. After that, he may store AP to purchase special Skills or Powers as he wishes.
5) For every 50 AP the Nexus Lord earns, he will receive a 0.5 Tier boost to his current House. A Nexus Lord may change his House at ANY time, but his Tier will immediately drop to 0.5 upon doing so (i.e. he will not even get the first tier Skill of the new House until he earns 50 AP).
6) For every 100 EP the Nexus Lord earns, he will receive one ENE point.
7) A Nexus Lord is immune to the fifth-tier House Fleming Skill "Disguise III", from anyone OTHER than another Nexus Lord.
When an Avatar reaches a new Level, he will be able to spend "Ability Points" (APs). The number of APs he receives depends on his Genre Selection (explained previously), but the base number of APs he will receive is shown in the following table.
APs are the only way that you are able to improve your Avatar. You are able to spend APs to raise your Primary Stats and to purchase Skills and Powers. When your Avatar reaches Level 1, you MUST spend all of the initial APs you receive on your Primary Stats. After that, you may begin spending the APs you receive at each Level as you see fit. The only restriction on their use is that you MUST spend all of the APs you receive at each level (they cannot be carried over or "held in account" UNTIL a player has spent the entirety of his Level 10 allotment). Remember that no Primary Stat may ever be greater than ENE, but you may spend your APs to raise ENE at the same time as another Primary Stat. Each AP spent on a Primary Stat raises it by 1 point.
Although there is no other restriction on the way you can spend your APs on Primary Stats, please study the formulas of the Secondary Stats carefully to ensure that you are balancing your character. It is certainly allowed for you to boost your OR and/or DR as high as it will go, but good luck if you get hit once and you have ignored your LIFE Stat, or if someone comes along with a Psionic Blast and you have no MIND defense.
Each Skill and Power has an associated AP cost (and in many instances other requirements), but once you pay for it, it becomes a permanent part of your character. More information on Skills and Powers will be presented later. You may NOT spend AP on Skills or Powers until you reach your second Level.
Note that the number of APs you receive at each Level can also be affected by the number of times you "died" in your previous level. For each "death" (explained later), you will lose one future AP. This penalty will take effect immediately when you reach your next level, but in extreme cases, you may begin tapping into APs that you would earn in FUTURE levels. If you advance a Level and have lost all of your normal APs due to deaths, you will NOT be able to make any changes to your Avatar at all. This does not affect those Items, Skills and Powers that depend on the actual level of the Avatar to determine their results.
When you reach a new Level, the Nexus will generate a new CC for you, reflecting all of the new information you have paid for with your APs. Please note that no changes to your character are official unless they are reflected on your new laminated CC - in other words, you cannot just declare that you have reached a Level and thus are entitled to begin using a new Power.

Whilst cable glands are intended for the connection of electrical cables, and after installation become an integral part of the electrical system, they are not electrically connected to the cable conductors. They are primarily mechanical devices used in the sealing of cables entering electrical equipment. In the case of armoured cables, their application involves the termination of the metallic armour and in this case may only be subject to a current carrying function in the event of an earth fault.
The applicability of the above Directives in respect of CMP cable glands is fully explained in CE Marking and the ATEX Directives.

Below is the poem entitled The Prostitution of Her Love which was written by poet
Manassian. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Eileen Manassian
"I'm not a machine, you know."
He says huskily
As she places her chocolate tipped breast
Within inches of his lips
Tantalizing him
She just smiles, breastfeeding him
His treat
And leans back and sighs
As he gorges
On creamy chocolate ecstasy
Later, he wonders
About his insatiable wife
Wondering if he can keep up
With her little bedroom games
And trips into fantasy
Another day
He lies back in the
Exhaustion of fulfillment
About to close his eyes
When he hears her weeping
Trying to stifle her sobs
Should he pretend he doesn't hear?
He is so tired
She quiets down
And before sleep claims him
He hears her whisper
"When you make love to me
That's the only time
The only time….
You really SEE me
For those few moments
I feel that your world revolves around me
That you NEED me
To be fulfilled
The only time
You're the man you used to be
The one dying to possess me
And so I prostitute my love for you…
Hoping in these moments
To feel…..alive"
Before he can respond
She's gone
And he looks up at the ceiling and wonders
How life has changed him
His other friends complain
About their frigid wives and dull lives
So unlike his
He is fortunate
And yet…
He remains in bed
Staring at the ceiling
She cries softly on the couch
Feeling broken, used
Just a receptacle for his need
While she remains empty
She fingers her phone
Thinking of the invitation there
Very casual
A shared cup of coffee
Nothing more, and yet
She reads the real invitation
In the depth of his eyes
When he looks at her
She wipes her tears as she thinks of fidelity and promises…
He walks into the living room
Suddenly shy
She tries to cover her body
With her red see through lingerie
Her black hair covering her mascara streaked eyes
He kneels down in front of her
Pushing away her hair
His eyes searching hers
And holding them for a moment
Tilting her chin up, his lips cover hers
With a gentle longing
She gasps for breath
Shocked at the tears gathering in his eyes
His voice barely reaches her ears…
"Will you be my wife?"
She tries to draw him to her
But he takes a hold of her outstretched hand
And helps her to her feet
Gently leading her to the bedroom
And night turns to day
As he makes love to his wife
Satiating her soul
Realizing her every fantasy
He says all the things he's felt, but never said
As he ravishes her…
His woman, his bride, his wife
The mid-morning sun
Caresses her face
And she awakens
To find herself
Where she's always longed to be…
Nestled safely
In her husband's arms

East Cleveland gets a healing
James W. Wade III | 7/30/2013, 5:46 p.m.
While a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted Michael Madison for the murders of three women whose bodies were found in East Cleveland earlier this month, Rodney Hubbard called on the greater Cleveland music community to come and be a part of a musical intercession for East Cleveland.
Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty announced the Grand Jury charged Madison, 35, with two counts each of Aggravated Murder in the deaths of Shetisha Sheeley, Angela H. Deskins and Shirellda Terry.
The 14-count indictment also included three counts of Kidnapping, three counts of Gross Abuse of a Corpse, one count of Rape and one count of Having Weapons Under Disability. In a separate case, Madison was also charged with a single felony count of Failure to Provide Notice of Change of Address.
Madison is a convicted sex offender who plead guilty in 2002 to Attempted Rape. Madison was required by law to tell the Cuyahoga County Sheriff where he was living and if he moved. Though listed in the sex offender registry as residing with his mother in Cleveland, Madison had in fact been living in East Cleveland.
On July 22, East Cleveland Municipal Judge, William Dawson, ordered him held on a $6 million bond, pending the Grand Jury's charging decision. Judge Dawson was instrumental in securing Shaw High School for the special Monday night healing service Hubbard orchestrated. "I love my city and I want everyone to know East Cleveland is still a great place to live," said Judge Dawson.
Hundreds came out to be involved in the healing service. Hubbard thanked all who participated and gave a special blessing to the family members of the victims who were there. "I had the vision to do something for East Cleveland, I never knew God would make it this powerful," said Hubbard.
The families were seen praising God all through the service, especially when the choir sung 'Jesus be a fence,' which caused many to both shout and cry with joy and happiness. "I am so grateful and proud of our Christian Community who showed up tonight! He's able! Great expectation for the City of East Cleveland and for our Christian Community is coming," said Rodney Hubbard.
The Sheeley family shared they are just trying to be one, while some of the younger men needed to be prayed for a few times during the service. "I wanted this to be about the families, not about me," said Hubbard.
"It's just beautiful. It's a beautiful representation of God's love and the community, the part that we don't get to see that often," Shirellda Terry's sister, Melissa Minor, said of the concert.
While the concert of praise was going on, the East Cleveland Mayor, Gary Norton, was down the street honoring his police department for catching Madison so quickly. "Our detectives quickly got information about the suspect, including some things that we could use to track his whereabouts," Norton said.
Police found the first of the victims on July 19, after answering a complaint about odors coming from an East Cleveland garage. Two more bodies were discovered the following day. All three were wrapped in plastic bags. Madison was arrested July 19 at his mother's home after a two-hour standoff with police.
Knowing Madison is in jail is relief to the victim families, and they are now just trying to deal the best they can. "Everybody is just taking it day by day and standing on God's words, because that is all we can do," Minor said.
Services for Shirellda Terry are Friday at Good Shepard Baptist Church, 17822 Euclid Ave., in Cleveland at 10 a.m.
Services for Shetisha Sheeley are Friday, August 9, at Strowder's Funeral Home, 822 E. 105th St., in Cleveland, with a visitation at 6 p.m. and services at 7 p.m.
A funeral fund is set up for Shetisha Sheeley at any First Merit Bank under her name.
Angela Deskins was buried last weekend.

SAN ANTONIO -- A New Braunfels man is one happy fellow today. Resident Ruben Cortez claimed a $1 million Powerball ticket, sold at the local Sac N Pac at 204 Loop 337 in New Braunfels. The drawing was held July 26.
Cortez won the second-tier prize, second to the jackpot prize, which start at $40 million and increase until the Jackpot is claimed, according to a news release. Players win the jackpot when they match all five white numbers and the red Powerball number.
He requested minimal publicity.
In Cortez's case, he matched the five white numbers, just a number away from the oh-so-desirable jackpot.
According to the news release, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175,223,510, and the odds of winning the second-tier prize are 1 in 5,153,633.
Don't lose hope though, the odds of winning a prize overall is 1 in 31. Also, the San Antonio Express-News reported last month that a lottery ticket worth an estimated $36 million remains unclaimed.
A Stripes convenient store in Cuero sold the ticket for the drawing on May 31. Because the store sold the winning ticket, the store received a check from the Lottery Commission for $360,000, even if no one claims the ticket.
Well, search your junk drawers because winners have up to 180 days after the drawing date to claim their prize.
In Texas, 10 lottery tickets worth $10 million or more were sold in the past two years.
Browse this Express-News database to see the Texas sites that sold the highest valued lottery tickets.

Steakcraft: Ristorante Morini's Fiorentina for Two
To further prove my point that there is no single right way to cook a steak, the newly minted Ristorante Morini serves one up that is marinated in an herb, garlic, and oil mix under vacuum before being seared on the grill and finished in the oven. This comes from a group that already employs three different methods of preparing their steaks at their restaurants and an entirely distinct method at Costata, the steakhouse jewel in Morini's crown.

Claudio Custodio had three hits to lead the Charleston Riverdogs to a 4-2 win over the West Virginia Power in South Atlantic League play Tuesday night at Riley Park.
The RiverDogs (9-9) jumped ahead early in the first inning. Outfielder Jake Cave doubled in his first career at-bat with the RiverDogs, and later moved to third on a single by Cito Culver. Cave scored on a throwing error by the pitcher.
Back-to-back Charleston errors gave the Power runners on first and second with no outs in the top of the third inning. They capitalized on the RiverDogs' mistakes with a two-run triple by Dilson Herrera.
Charleston regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Following a Kelvin DeLeon single and a Taylor Dugas double, Custodio hit a single to left field that scored DeLeon and tied the game. Dugas then scored the RiverDogs' go-ahead run on a double by Cave.
A dropped pop fly in the bottom of the seventh inning allowed Dante Bichette Jr. to score the fourth RiverDogs run of the night.
Coming up
The second game of this three-game series against the West Virginia Power is this morning at 11:05. Vicente Campos (0-0, 5.00 ERA) will be on the mound for Charleston against RHP Tyler Glasnow (0-0, 1.54 ERA).
Students from around the Lowcountry will be in attendance for another Education Day.

When I came up with the idea of Keep the Tail Wagging, I wanted a site where I could make money. I was taking an online blogging course (The Challenge) that guaranteed that participants would be making money before the course was done. They were right!
I started blogging in 2009 and I've wanted to write about dogs all along and when we adopted Rodrigo and Sydney from FurKidz 911 Connection, I launched 365 Days of Puppies. I shut it down about a month later after an Oregon dog trainer attacked me on Facebook for two straight days. I didn't dare approach pet blogging until I started The Challenge.
Inspiration behind Keep the Tail Wagging
Three things make up the foundation of Keep the Tail Wagging.
(1) Raising littermate puppies – there's very little information online about it and most of the information I found discourages adopting two puppies at once. If the potential fur parents are like me, then they won't be discouraged by a few articles so I wanted to share my real experience with raising littermate puppies.
(2) I abhor the commercials with abused animals – they go on too long, the music now gives me the chills, and I only feel inspired to dive for the remote to change the channel (or just leave the room). This goes for images on Facebook and other sites. Keep the Tail Wagging is a "no images of abused animals" zone!
(3) I wanted to support dog rescue while promoting reputable breeders – I hate when I see people go on the attack against breeders, lumping them all into the "puppy mill" category. I've been called many nasty names by strangers simply because I don't think all breeders are bad.
What I've learned through Keep the Tail Wagging
Being a pet blogger has opened up many opportunities for me to be a better person and a better fur mom. Through connections with other bloggers, I've learned to speak up for our dogs, asking our vet questions, doing my own research, and connecting with others who can help me learn more.
I've also gained a little attention both locally and nationally, which has encouraged me to be more mellow. There are days when people drive me NUTS, but I smile instead, because everyone is learning – people have been patient with me, so I need pay that forward.
I've written most of the content on my site and choosing favorites hasn't been easy, so instead I've chosen the ones that stand out the most:
Canine Parvovirus and other health issues
Ranting about the guy who threatened to kick Sydney
Having fun taking pictures at Petco
Saving money without sacrificing quality
The coyote saga Part 1 and Part 2
15 questions you should ask before adopting a dog
5 pet bloggers you should get to know – I'm one of them!!!
How to Avoid Getting Your Head Bitten Off by the Dog Owner!!
My wish for 2013
This year I connected with many brands, including Petco, Petsmart, Halo Pets, Target, Fresh Pet, Trupanion and Merrick Pet Food. I would like to expand that to more brands, including Kong, Natural Balance, and Nature's Variety.
I want to triple the number of readers to my site and attract some paid advertisers.
I want to win a few blogging awards, speak at a blogging conference (or a few), and I'd like to meet Ellen Degeneres.
That's not too much to ask for, right?
Thanks so much for following and reading Keep the Tail Wagging! Please remember that you can always Suggest a Topic through the contact form.

Consoles are becoming sophisticated PCs which sit in the living room... We'll have to see how all this develops. Maybe in five years you won't need a console because you'll have one PC which delivers content all over your house.
No plans to bring World of Warcraft to the console market, then? Bassat says there are no plans to bring the game to consoles, though Blizzard is keeping a close eye on the next gen machines, especially their online services. And he has nothing but good to say about Xbox Live Arcade:
I'm very impressed, I'm impressed by the people who do it, and the service is very easy, very intuitive. I love it.

News Release
For Immediate Release
Contact: Chrysten Crockett
(803) 327-8032
December 6, 2013
For the 13th year in a row, students from the York County School
District will get the opportunity to display their
natural-disaster-themed FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) projects at York
Technical College on Friday, December 6 in the Student Center Atrium
from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
This year, the FLL has challenged students aged 9-16 to create their
LEGO masterpieces with natural disasters in mind. In the 2013
"Nature's Fury" challenge, students are tasked with discovering what
can be done when intense natural events meet the places where people
live, work, and play. While thinking like scientists and engineers,
the Nature's Fury teams will build, test, and program an autonomous
robot (using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology) to solve a set of missions in
a Robot Game. Not only that, but they will be challenged to choose and
solve a real-world problem.
York Tech Engineering Technology Department
Chair Cree Stout is serving as the FLL Qualifier Coordinator. She has
spent months leading the judging process by coordinating the judging
panel and ensuring that members of the panel are well versed on FLL
rules, requirements and judging criteria.
"We are excited for the teams to come
to York Tech and display the projects they've worked so hard on.
Amongst a list of qualifying criteria, we are going to be judging on
innovation, team work, gracious professionalism, and the actual
project itself," Stout said.
What FLL teams accomplish with these
projects is nothing short of amazing. It's a fun and exciting time for
students to build skills that will last a lifetime, such as team
building, presenting and critical thinking. The winner that York Tech
selects will qualify to compete in the state compeition.
Vice President of Business Services Marc Tarplee initiated the FLL
Operational Partnership for York Tech in 2000. Since then, it has been
an ever-evolving opportunity for York Tech to provide a rewarding
experience to students in the York County School District.
"I always found this competition to be very
exciting, two hundred plus middle schoolers bring a lot of energy with
them," Tarplee said.
About FIRST® LEGO® League:
FIRST LEGO League is a robotics program for 9 to 16 year olds (9 to 14
in US/CAN/MEX), which is designed to get children excited about
science and technology -- and teach them valuable employment and life
skills. FLL can be used in a classroom setting but is not solely
designed for this purpose. Teams, composed of up to ten children with
at least one adult coach, can also be associated with a pre-existing
club or organization, homeschooled, or just be a group of friends who
wish to do something awesome.See more at:

The case of the vanishing mobile GPU (and what budget gamers should do about it) August 4, 2014 at 11:33 am
It's become increasingly difficult to buy a laptop with a discrete GPU — we investigate the options and the significant difference between AMD and Intel systems.
Acer launches the first useful Chromebook with an Intel Core i3 CPU July 11, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Acer recently announced that it will be shipping the first Chromebook featuring an Intel Core i3 processor, and it will only cost about $350. As Chrome OS and Chromebook hardware both become more capable, the more Microsoft and Apple need to worry. Combined with Intel's dogged support for Chromebooks, this latest push by Acer shows that Chromebooks can be much more than just cheap laptops for kids.
Dual graphics dud: Intel's Core i3-4330 overpowers AMD's A10-7850K in budget gaming March 13, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Budget gaming has historically been a strong point for AMD, but the company's products have fallen down this generation. Overly aggressive APU positioning leaves Intel in the driver's seat.
AMD Kaveri A10-7850K and A8-7600 review: Was it worth the wait for the first true heterogeneous chip? January 14, 2014 at 8:00 am
Seven and a half years ago, AMD announced that it would acquire graphics chip manufacturer ATI as part of its long-term strategic vision. AMD's business case for the ATI acquisition rested on a vision of the future in which GPUs shared die space with the CPU and could be tapped as advanced co-processors within specific workloads. AMD dubbed its new plan "Fusion," and promised to ship silicon by 2011. Three more years of innovation, and we have today's Kaveri, arguably the first APU to fully deliver the vision AMD articulated back when DirectX 9 was standard and programmable GPUs had yet to hit the market.

Hey, I just came across this trying to figure out what 'NHibernate.Envers' was, you say:
"My first thought was to extend my original approach and save the entity in another version of the previous listener...huge work to do!"
It's like 3 lines of code to get the changes made to an entity? Am I missing something? Auditing changes via event listeners is really simple...
NHibernate.Envers - a quick introduction
Posted by Guardian in .Net NHibernate on Tuesday 07 June 2011 at 1:29 PM
Recently I had the need to introduce a sort of 'Entity Versioning' in a portion of my applications, the whole data access strategy was realized using NHibernate + XML / ConfORM mappings.
I started the thing introducing an poor auditing system using a listener and the pre-insert and pre-update events. This will allow me to track who created a record and the last one that modified it (and when) in an easy way (you can find some examples on this technique in a lot of blog posts around, just look for NHibernate + auditing in any web search engine).
The afore mentioned strategy is enough for the great part of my domain, but then I had to move a step forward and not only log who make the action, but also I needed to store the state of the entity at the time it was modified (being it updated or deleted), in short I need the whole history of the changes on that entity. My first thought was to extend my original approach and save the entity in another version of the previous listener...huge work to do!
Then I reminded Fabio Maulo talking about the release of NHibernate.Envers at one of the last UgiAlt workshops I attended to...Gotcha! Let's take a look at it and see if it fits my needs.
Download the whole source code at https://bitbucket.org/RogerKratz/nhibernate.envers, you need to if you use the latest bits of NHibernate 3.2 because you will need to update the referenced libraries and recompile the project.
Let's start considering this very simple domain:
public class Person : Entity<int> { protected Person() { } public Person(string name, string surname) { Games = new List<Game>(); Name = name; Surname = surname; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Surname { get; set; } public string Note { get; set; } public IList<Game> Games { get; set; } public override string ToString() { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendFormat("Id: {2}, Name: {0}, Surname: {1}, Note: {3}\n", Name, Surname, Id, Note); sb.AppendLine("Games:"); foreach (var g in Games) sb.AppendLine(g.ToString()); sb.AppendLine("---"); return sb.ToString(); } } public class Game : Entity<int> { public string Name { get; set; } public string Type { get; set; } public int Rating { get; set; } public string Note { get; set; } public override string ToString() { return string.Format("Id: {3}, Name: {0}, Type: {1}, Rating: {2}, Note: {4}", Name, Type, Rating, Id, Note); } }
here we have a person and the games he plays; both the classes are mapped as individual entities using ConfORM.
To keep the post short I'll skip the mapping initialization, so we can move to the interesting bits: how to setup NHibernate.Envers. You have several ways to set it up, the easiest (and more flexible) one is configuring it by code:
- Declare FluentConfiguration object (which is nothing more than an IMetaDataProvider).
- Call its Audit() or Audit<>() methods to decide which entities you want to track.
- Attach it to the NHibernate Configuration object calling its IntegrateWithEnvers extension method.
Here's how it looks like:
var enversConf = new NHibernate.Envers.Configuration.Fluent.FluentConfiguration(); // audit the whole domain // enversConf.Audit(GetDomainEntities()); enversConf.Audit<Person>(); enversConf.Audit<Game>(); Configure.IntegrateWithEnvers(enversConf);
If we ask NHibernate to generate the schema for us this is a picture of what we get:
Figure 1 - domain model + auditing tables database schema
As you can see the one-to-many relation between Person and Games has been correctly transformed in a many-to-many when it comes to track objects history.
By default we'll have a main table named REVINFO that will assign a unique revision number to every version of the object we track, we'll have an history table for every entity and for every relation between objects (these tables use the suffix _AUD). all those tables maintain a relation with the main REVINFO that provide the timestamp of the operation; moreover another column is added to every history table (named REVTYPE) that states the type of operation performed on the object (update, delete, etc...).
NHibernate.Envers allows you to change the default naming of tables and suffixes with a series of new properties you can specify in the NHibernate configuration section, here are some:
- nhibernate.envers.audit_table_prefix - defaults to String.Empty
- nhibernate.envers.audit_table_suffix - defaults to "_AUD"
- nhibernate.envers.revision_field_name - defaults to "REV"
- nhibernate.envers.revision_type_field_name - default to "REVTYPE"
Other interesting options are:
- nhibernate.envers.default_catalog - defaults to String.Empty, allows you to set a specific catalog for the auditing tables.
- nhibernate.envers.default_schema - defaults to String.Empty, allows you to set a specific schema for the auditing tables.
- nhibernate.envers.store_data_at_delete - defaults to false, if set to true all the data of the removed entity will be saved when you remove it (instead of having just a marker with all null values).
Enough for today, the next time we'll see some methods to retrieve the history of the changes related to the tracked entities.
You can grab the actual sample code here:
I'm always amazed to see that every time I have a problem related to the data access strategy and what's around it, NHibernate always seems to something that, if not fully solve your problems, can point you in right direction to customize it and have your job done.

Hey, I just came across this trying to figure out what 'NHibernate.Envers' was, you say:
#2 da alessandro giorgetti - Thursday August 2011 alle 06:29
For a simple and 'plain' entity yes, but what about a complex tree of objects that have your entity as root ? If you wanna do that for every entity in your tree it can become quite complex and that was my scenario. Envers actually handle the whole thing for me and offer enough flexibility (in my case) to avoid using a custom made solution.
#3 da Phillip Haydon - Friday August 2011 alle 04:25
Ahh, you're right, I just ran into this issue, so I'll give the Envers another look :)

Manuel Bandarra has retired after serving 40 years on the Planning Commission.
"He has been a very dedicated and hard working member," Planning Director David Ornduff said of Bandarra. "In all of those years I think he has always made the right decisions."
Ornduff, who will be retiring next month after nearly as long a career with the Elizabethton Planning Department, said he will miss his professional relationship with Bandarra.
"He is a good friend. He and his wife are just good people who are always a pleasure to be around," Ornduff said.
Architect Tony Street of the Johnson City architectural firm of Beeson, Lusk and Street provided information about Milligan College's future plans to build a 100-bed apartment-style dormitory when funds can be raised.
Street appeared before the planners to request annexation for the site where the dormitory would be built. That property is just outside the city limits on Toll Branch Road.
Ornduff said the Development Committee has approved the annexation request. He said it would not be a problem to extend city services to the location. Milligan College is served by a Johnson City sewer line.
Following the meeting Street said there are no immediate plans to build the dormitory. He said it was contingent on the raising of funds. He said the floor plan calls for groups of four bedrooms to be connected to a common area including a kitchenette.
The planners deferred a decision on another annexation request. Jason Blevins had requested the city annex his property at 509 Tenn. Highway 91 just south of the Elizabethton Airport.
Blevins' property is not adjacent to the city limits, but he said two sides of his property are bounded by property that has been purchased by the airport. Ornduff said the staff had not been made aware of the purchases or the additional airport property would have been considered for annexation.
Ornduff said one problem with the annexation of Blevins property was that it would be 1,584 feet from the end of the city's sewer line in the Watauga Industrial Park. He said it would not be practical to extend the line for just one property. Even though Blevins said he was not interested in obtaining sewer service, Ornduff said a purchaser of the property in the future might demand the service.
The planners voted unanimously to defer a decision until Mayor Curt Alexander can discuss the legal questions on the annexation with City Attorney Roger Day.
The planners also approved a site plan for an elevator to provide access for the disabled at the Carter County Administration Building at 305 Academy St.

ASUS Eee PC T91 launches, reviewed: interesting twist on netbook design
ASUS have officially launched the Eee PC T91 convertible touchscreen netbook, and already the first reviews are surfacing. Based around an 8.9-inch display which can rotate flat onto the keyboard for slate use, the T91 runs Intel's Atom Z520 CPU with 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1. According to Pocket-lint, it's a useful compromise between traditional Tablet PC functionality and netbook scale.

Almond MilkAlmond milk is great for cereals, desserts, and savory-sweet dishes. Almonds are an alkaline nut, and one serving provides ⅓ of your daily dose of vitamin E.

Rinse blender jar, place strained almond milk back in jar with remaining ingredients and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 3–5 times to combine thoroughly. Serve or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

When it comes to music, these girls have it all. They can sing. They can dance. And they can act — err, wait a minute on the last one. Sadly, a powerful voice, a magnetic personality in interviews, or killer dance moves in music videos doesn't mean a pop star has what it takes to be an actress. With practice, some do get better. But if their big screen debuts are any precursor, some of them better stick to their main gig and leave the acting to the professionals.
Check out the 10 worst big screen debuts from your favorite female pop stars, including Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift. (Oh yeah, the latter is making her return to the big screen in The Giver, co-starring Meryl Streep, in theaters this weekend.)

This Movie Exists! Benny Safdie Hits the Streets.
Benny Safdie, one half of the brotherly directorial team behind Daddy Longlegs, hit the streets last week in a unique effort to promote the movie's theatrical release this Friday. Take a look:
Benny promises that actual footage from the street campaign is in the works.
I wouldn't give a damn about this goofy routine if Daddy Longlegs weren't a marvelously strange cinematic experience and a welcome expansion of the young Safdies' emerging style. Here's my evaluation of their work in indieWIRE.
And the Daddy Longlegs trailer:

Click on a thumbnail to go to Google Books.
by Christopher Golden, Christopher Golden, Nancy Holder
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I wasn't very impressed by this, in the throes of a Buffy obsession as I am.
The main plot, revolving around a vampire that is reborn into a new body each time she is killed,was good and menacing, and had some interesting flashbacks. There was a secondary plot about ghosts that wasn't fully resolved, but maybe it is in another book.
The narrative jumped around enough to confuse me, especially as the point of view also shifted often, on occasion in the middle of a paragraph. The use of slayer slang to identify the characters seemed a little forced.
Buffy's mother is sick, and Buffy also has to deal with an extra powerful female vampire, and her gang.
This bunch wants to summon something considerably worse than themselves.
Even if Buffy manages to kill the head woman, Veronique, she comes back again as another vampire. Pretty annoying situation to be in, all around.

During a routine slaying, Buffy encounters a vampire named Veronique who knows the slayer's name and can anticipate her attack. One who doesn't have the proper respect for Mr. Pointy. One who cannot die. If slain, she will reincarnate in a new body.
An invincible demon is the last thing Buffy needs right now. Joyce Summers is about to undergo a serious operation, calling up all of her daughter's fears about her own mortality. Angel wants to comfort Buffy, but her mother's crisis underscores the differences between them: he will live forever, while she will grow old...or die young.
Torn between her duties as the Chosen One, Buffy needs the support of her friends to help her solve a rash of grave robberies, head off an influx of new vampires, and take Veronique down once and for all. For Veronique is on a mission -- to bring about the unification of her masters, the Triumvirate, into one all-powerful demon that will drink the blood of the last man on earth...
