One fateful detour. A raging storm. She didn't see this love coming..... Holding a knife against a child's throat isn't exactly how Dr. Paige Weston had planned to spend her Christmas holiday. But a jolt from an air pocket and here she is, performing an emergency tracheotomy as her flight to Fiji diverts to Kauai. The one place she swore never to return. Beside the fact her patient comes first, what's the chance she'll run into her ex-fiance--the man who jilted her when another woman turned up pregnant? Then she realizes the island hospital is woefully understaffed, forcing her to lend a hand. And upping the odds that her heart will hit more turbulence before she makes her escape. Nathan Cross can't believe his eyes. The emergency room doctor tending to his daughter's cut foot is the woman he's dreamed about every night since he was forced to walk out of her life. He should have been prepared for her indifference, but he's blindsided by the need to hold her in his arms. Just one more time. Yet Fate is a trickster, leaving him wondering if he should grasp for a second chance--or take his punishment for one, long-ago choice. Warning: This book contains two lovers destined to make up for lost time, which means moments of deep emotional and hot lusty sex, including in such places as against the wall, up against a railing (my personal favorite), on the hood of a truck, in the rain, and every other imaginable place.

About our Associate
The National Science Museum
The Science Museum as an institution has been in existence for about a century and a half. It has its origins in the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in Hyde Park in the huge glass building known as the Crystal Palace. The popularity of the exhibition ensured a large financial surplus, which its patron Prince Albert suggested should be used to found a number of educational establishments on the land available nearby. The first of these was the South Kensington Museum, opened in 1857 on land which is now part of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Today they have hundreds of thousands of objects in their collection, from aircraft to microchips.
The history of the Science Museum over the last 150 years has been one of continual change. The exhibition galleries are never static for long, as they have to reflect and comment on the increasing pace of change in science, technology, industry and medicine. Even if this sometimes means the removal of some well-loved objects to store, they're certain that some of their modern replacements will become cherished in turn. Whatever the future holds, the Science Museum will be in the forefront to illustrate, explain and interpret it for all our users, whoever and wherever they are.

Sure, Minnesota's economy is in the tank, but be thankful we don't live in Michigan.The plight of the auto industry prompted the Detroit Free Press to publish a Page 1 editorial today pleading for a bailout from the taxpayers. Here's my favorite line: "No one here is enthused about the idea of extending government money to a private industry with so many self-inflicted wounds. But the automakers deserve credit for real gains, including products on par with their world rivals and plants that operate among the best in the business.'' Really? Those are the products we're not buying in sufficient numbers to keep the companies in business without a huge assist from the federal government, correct? Interesting argument.

Stila Natural Eye Shadow Palette Stila Cosmetics Fall 2011
I imagine we can expect to see more vampy lips and smoky eyes than we can handle come the Fall. Blame it on a long, hot Summer of True Blood or perhaps it's one of those trends that simply won't go away but I suspect we'll see it trending for Fall 2011.
If you prefer a more natural, nude look you can take the way back machine to this Spring and indulge the trend with the new Stila Natural Eye Shadow Palette releasing for Fall 2011.
The palette is available as a pre-sale today for a limited time in a limited quantity for Stila VIP Stars.
Take a look!
God, I hate bursting your bubble but yes, it contains Kitten! Outside of that deja vu shade you also get nine other shades and a Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel (matte chocolate brown) and an 8 page get the look book.
Shades include:
- Bare – matte ivory shade
- Kitten (OMGZZ NOOOOOOOOOOOES!)
- Bliss – matte beige pink
- Sunset – shimmery canyon pink
- Sandstone – matte light coco
- Champagne – shimmery pale gold
- Gilded Gold – golden brown with shimmer
- Luster – dark aubergine with gold shimmer
- Night Sky – blue with shimmer
- Ebony – black
The promo image doesn't do justice to the shades but count me curious about the overall palette as aside from Kitten, I'd say the shades look very wearable and pretty.
Do we need it?
I'd like to think so even though we can probably dupe every shade here.
What do you think?
It's available now, check your inbox for a link to grab it (I'd share my link but it's attached to my personal e-mail address).
5/17/11 10:12 Sarah:
Kitten makes me rage so hard. I can't stand it!
Otherwise it looks nice, but I can wait on this. It'll eventually go on clearance or end up cheap on ACW.
5/17/11 10:44 Musebeliever:
Pretty ! *o*
Actually I just started very recently constitutiong my eyeshadows collection. Before I had one duo and that was it.
So I don't have a dupe for most of these !
If I get Sirena Island palette, I'll not haul this one. Btw, I got news from simplebeauty !
5/17/11 11:05 Anitacska:
Is Kitten Stila's Midnight Cowboy then?
5/17/11 12:10 Amanda:
I actually like Kitten…but I don't need it in freakin' everything. It works well on my skin tone for highlighting, but I have 4 pallettes from Stila, and 3 of them have kitten. I don't need that much!
5/17/11 12:38 jenna:
i hate when there's a black shadow! they take FOREVER to use up as i barely have the skills to set my liner with them let alone heap the stuff onto my eyelid! grr.
5/17/11 19:59 theRothstanator:
Ohh!! I want it! I am really into companies with bold colors, like UD and Kat and Too Faced, but Stila has somehow come into my top 5 now! I guess you didn't get it yet?
5/17/11 21:34 jac-kie:
looks pretty! wonder what the price would be in AUD – probably jacked up so high i won't get it >.<
5/18/11 22:25 Jane:
So pretty! It's like the Smashbox softbox palette's sister or cousin lol. Love it!
5/19/11 9:20 *telle*:
this is purdy! too bad it wasnt released for summer with the nude trends. looking forward to swatches and reviews of this! and for when this hits the shelves at cdn retailers! since i last checked, stila doesnt ship to canada *sniffles*
5/19/11 15:37 Irene:
Personally I adore Kitten but I am sick and tired of it always popping up in almost every single palette from Stila. They've been doing this since the early 2000's and it's just lame. *lol*
5/19/11 16:00 Majick:
kitten, midnight cowboy, orgasm, UD zero eye pencil, BE LIght Foundation, and mascara sample sizes – my horse is choking.
I didn't get a link and it's not on the STila site (not that I'm getting it but I had to look). I did get an email with a F&F code for 20% off and free shipping. The code is FRIENDS11 if anyone is interested.
5/25/11 2:05 Jovanna:
with 4 mattes, I couldn't get it. I like how they include a liner, however, it's matte too. I wish they did some pearl like shimmer. I wish kitten was not included in everything too! I do like their primecolor and smudgepot in kitten, use it everyday, but eyeshadow could be used more sparingly.

Never married - No kids, I would like to have kids. Photo from March 2008. Age is just a number. It is how you feel, act and where your are in life. ME? Growing up somewhat of a tomboy. VERY into sports. Love the beach, fishing, Eagles/Sixers/Flyers games, I can put on sweats, a baseball cap and hang with d'boys on a Sunday filled with football or I can put on a dress and have tea with grandma. Either way, I am a suit during the weekday and jeans/sweats there after. I am the type of person who does things, not who talks about doing. "Why never married?" That Question - Well, pick one. Because: 1. You haven't asked yet. 1a.Maybe because you have looked at my profile and I looked at yours and you looked at mine and I looked at yours and maybe you are too "Jewish" to actually pay so you can contact me. I am still old fashon when it comes to those "dating rules". I would like the guy to do the asking. 2. I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life. 3. What? And spoil my sex life? 4. Nobody would believe me in white. 5. Because I just love hearing this question. 6. Just lucky, I guess. 7. My fiance is awaiting parole. 8. It gives my mother something to live for. 9. I already have enough laundry to do. 10. Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating. 11. My co-op board doesn't allow spouses. 12. They just opened a great singles bar in my neighborhood. 13. I wouldn't want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness. 14. I guess it just goes to prove that you can't trust those voodoo doll rituals. 15. I'd have to forfeit my billion-dollar trust fund. 16. I skipped my first divorce? 17. I believe that there is my soul mate out there that I will have tremendous physical and mental chemistry with and will cherish me. 18. Because I am highly allergic to your cat/dog and you fail to choose correctly. 19. It is really YOU and not ME. 20. How can I know which one is best until I've tried them all. 21. Airlines charge too much for baggage. 22. You are looking for your "Barbie". And I am not her but..look in the mirror, you are not Ken. The above is for amusement purposes only.

BATON ROUGE, La. — While Les Miles is not pleased by the 67 points LSU yielded in a six-quarter span, the Tigers' dominance of their last half of football offers hope as the toughest stretch of their schedule looms.
The 10th-ranked Tigers' defense was shredded on the ground and through the air by Georgia for four quarters and by Mississippi State for two more. But LSU yielded just three points in the second half of its 45-26 victory at Mississippi State on Saturday.
BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU coach Les Miles will never use the term rebuilding when referring to his football team.
Still, that certainly appears to be the task for Miles and defensive coordinator John Chavis when the Tigers begin spring practice Thursday.
Chavis' goal during the 15 days of drills is to find seven new starters — two tackles, two ends, one linebacker, one cornerback and one safety. So, there will be competition at all levels of the defense.
BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU still feels the sting of its loss to top-ranked Alabama and probably won't forget the setback anytime soon.
Tigers coach Les Miles spent much of his weekly media luncheon Monday dealing with situations which popped up in his team's 21-17 loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday.
"We won every statistical category, but the score," the coach said. "That's unfortunate. I told the team I wish I would have done a couple of things better."

Angelina Jolie is in Budapest today, making her directorial debut on a love story set during the Bosnian-Serbian war, and either she thinks genocide is funny or these two still really get along because she was giddy as a little girl when Brad Pitt showed up.
They've been together 7 years now, which is 8 years longer than the tabloids said they would be. Jennifer Aniston probably keeps an axe near her TV in case 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' comes on, and fixates on the fact that Jolie only got the part because Nicole Kidman dropped out and Catherine Zeta Jones turned it down, but I bet Pitt would have left her for Zeta Jones or Kidman too. Why wouldn't he? That bitch is awful. I'd rather be in a room with that thing in 'Alien' that lays eggs in your chest than Jennifer fucking Aniston.

Clarkson (6-1-1 overall) is in the national rankings (No. 17) for the first time since the 2008 season after sweeping Colorado College at Cheel Arena last weekend.
The Golden Knights now start over, in a sense, as they begin ECAC Hockey play this weekend with road games at Brown and Yale.
Brown defeated the Golden Knights in the first round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs last year and wound up reaching the championship game before losing to Union. Yale won ECAC Hockey's first national championship since 1989 last April, beating rival Quinnipiac in the title game.

DiscardedYKTTW Kevin Dorfman YKTTW Discussion
|Kevin Dorfman
An affable neighbor with an inability to omit details
This is a guy you don't want as a neighbor. What, is he mean? No, he's friendly to pretty much everyone. Does he keep you awake at night with parties or loud music? No, the reason you don't want him nearby is because then, you might actually end up talking to him. The Kevin Dorfman will talk about eveything he knows of (and his interests are usually many and varied), but what actually is annoying isn't his actual interests, but the way he described them. He will likely recall, and repeat every incidence of an event, as a part of his life story (for instance, that he's only eaten egg salad sandwich eight times in his life, the first time when he was two, then he's tell about the next time, and the next time... all of which are given in full detail). On the bright side, his inability to filter out information probably makes him easy to trust, but that's assuming you can stand him. Trope Namer would be Adrian Monk's neighbor upstairs, who premiers in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Paperboy" where his girlfriend tries to murder him over a lottery ticket, then a second time on "Mr. Monk and the Game Show" where he accompanies Monk to solve not only a murder but how cheating in a game show is happening, then again in "Mr. Monk Is On the Air" where he gives jokes to tell for when Monk is solving a radio mystery, and finally he's strangled to death in "Mr. Monk and the Magician." (Yeah, I'm doing it too) (Needs More Examples)

Rising Food Prices Take Heavy Toll In Kyrgyzstan
Rising food prices are taking a heavy toll in the Kyrgyz Republic, a mountainous country in Central Asia that relies heavily on food imports. The price of staples like flour has risen from between 25 to 40 per cent in recent months, placing added strain on the food budgets of its poorest families. The situation in Kyrgyzstan is typical of that in many developing countries dependent on food from abroad.

Thanks! I don't think Lady knows she is a horse, though :) She's 6 yrs, stocky (14.2hh, about 1050 lbs), LOVES to eat (will get fat in a pasture), VERY playful and curious (i.e. Mischievous...will steal my tools, figured out how to unlatch the stall door to get in), quick and muscular (I think she would make a good cutting horse), and absolutely loves children. BTW, try keeping a young, mostly white horse clean....a career in itself...sigh!
Any pictures of yours?

1910-10-24 (122lbs) Abe Attell w pts 10 Johnny Kilbane, The Hippodrome, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
1910-10-24 (122lbs) Abe Attell w pts 10 Johnny Kilbane, The Hippodrome, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. According to the Kansas City Star this was a billed title fight with both men inside 122lbs, but strangely for a man who wanted to win a world title Kilbane was always in retreat except in the eighth round. Attell chased his man all night and when close enough drove in enough blows to head and body to come out an easy winner.
In his very next fight, Attell took on Biz Mackey (nd-w rsc 6 on 27 October at Brown's Gym, Queens, NYC, New York) and while there was no mention of weights in the New York papers the Chicago Evening Star reported that all aspirations of becoming a champion were knocked out of Mackey.
A day later Attell met Eddie Kelly (nd-w co 4 at the Mohawk Valley AC, Amsterdam, New York) and while it was thought to have been a catchweight contest, again no weights were mentioned. It was also thought that Kelly was inside 122lbs.
On 13 November, Attell drew over 15 rounds with Frankie Conley at the West Side AC, New Orleans, Louisiana. Originally billed for the title over 20 rounds the fight only went ahead at catchweights and reduced to 15 rounds after Attell was experiencing weight-making difficulties. Although Attell's weight was announced as being 124lbs, Conley, who came in at 121lbs, could have claimed the title had he won.
Two more contests for an over-the-weight Attell in which he allowed his opponents to make 122lbs, saw him up against Joe Coster (nd-l pts 10 on 9 January 1911 at the Clermont Rink, Brooklyn, NYC) and Patsy Kline (nd-w pts 10 on 13 January 1911 at the National SC, Manhattan, NYC). The New York Times reported that the crafty champion was never in danger of losing his title in either bout.

text: November 17, 2011 03:45 pm James Arvantes Salt Lake City – State health care reform efforts have provided valuable lessons on how to build health care delivery and payment systems that promote quality, efficiency and care coordination. And during this year's AAFP State Legislative Conference here on Nov. 4-5, a panel of experts related their experiences in realigning incentives in the health care delivery system. Karen Tseng, J.D., assistant attorney general for the health care division in the Massachusetts attorney general's office, tells attendees at the AAFP State Legislative Conference that family medicine is "at the heart" of health care reform efforts. During the session "Dollars Drive Decisions: Delivery System Reform and Provider Payment," Karen Tseng, J.D., assistant attorney general for the health care division of the Massachusetts attorney general's office, talked about experiences with health care reform in her state. Massachusetts enacted a universal health care reform plan in 2006 that included an individual health insurance mandate and has been grappling with rising health care costs since that time. In response, the state has started conducting annual studies of the health care marketplace that are focused on payment and delivery system issues. According to Tseng, last year's study(www.mass.gov) discovered "big differences in prices that insurers pay to different providers." "We could not find a connection between payment differences and value for patients and the public," said Tseng, noting that higher payments primarily resulted from greater market leverage, or clout, which created distortions in the health care marketplace. "We also found that those increased payments to a select number of providers with high market clout have been responsible for over 75 percent of the increases in health care spending in each year for the last five years," said Tseng. These types of payment disparities are a good place to start when trying to reign in health care costs, she noted. Tseng said that this year, Massachusetts officials studied(www.mass.gov) the effect of global payment methodologies on physicians and other providers and found that wide differences in payment -- which were not tied to health care value -- exist within the global payment system, as well. story highlights During a panel discussion at the 2011 AAFP State Legislative Conference, speakers from Massachusetts, Oregon and Texas related the lessons they learned as they worked on reforming their health care systems on state and local levels. Reforming systems during a time of increasingly scarce resources was a central theme for all three speakers, who related the difficulties faced by their states and how they are working around the problems. One speaker related how marketplace dysfunction affected reform efforts in Massachusetts, and how other states should consider those issues before embarking on health care reform. "We find that some providers are being paid over $400 per member, per month where other providers are being paid less than $300 per member, per month to take care of populations with the same health status score," said Tseng.She called these findings "very troubling" and explained that such payment differentials make it increasingly difficult for physicians who are paid less to compete effectively."As each of your states moves forward in considering different forms of payment reform and global payment, it is extremely important to first set the global budgets at the right place, and second to be mindful of marketplace dysfunction and how different providers are being reimbursed," Tseng told attendees.She added that, according to the Massachusetts studies, "primary care providers, with adequate data and resources, are the foundation of effective care coordination." These are common themes for achieving care coordination, said Tseng. Having data and information to track patient care and adequate resources to fund an infrastructure and to bear risk are vital.Panel speaker Glenn Rodriguez, M.D., chief medical officer of Providence Health and Services in Oregon and Southwest Washington and a member of the Oregon Health Policy Board, also addressed the effect of scarce resources on health care reform in Oregon. In 2003, the state was hit hard by an economic recession, forcing officials of the Oregon Health Plan to disenroll about 800,000 beneficiaries from the Medicaid program and to establish copays and premiums for the first time.Since then, Oregon has sought to rebuild its health policy framework, and, in 2009, it enacted legislation recognizing "primary care as the explicit foundation of the new health care system," said Rodriguez. That legislation also directed state officials to develop state-based standards for the patient-centered primary care home, Oregon's version of the patient-centered medical home.The state also is in the process of developing community-coordinated organizations, or CCOs, Oregon's version of accountable care organizations, or ACOs, said Rodriguez. The CCOs are designed to integrate physical, mental and oral health and will serve as the primary agent for health system transformation in the state.Meanwhile, according to the third panel speaker, anesthesiologist John Zerwas, M.D., Texas has established its own ACOs, which are known as health care collaboratives. The collaboratives allow physicians and health care systems to join together to work with insurance companies without violating antitrust provisions, said Zerwas.Zerwas, who is a state representative for the 28th district in Texas, and other officials made sure that physicians, rather than hospitals, have the predominant role on the collaborative boards. This helps ensure appropriate delivery of services from a financial perspective, said Zerwas, adding that the overriding purpose of the collaboratives is to better coordinate care and drive prevention, wellness and efficiency of care while reducing duplication of care.

Nutritionist Vicky Mazzone blames low-carb diets for misunderstanding about carbohydrates
- From: The Advertiser
- March 02, 2013
- TELL US: Has a low-carb diet helped you?
WOMEN are missing out on the health benefits of carbohydrates because they are fearful of putting on excess weight, experts warn.
Nutrition experts, including the Heart Foundation, are warning that women should be encouraged to eat nutritious low-GI grain foods and fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet.
Adelaide nutrition counsellor Vicky Mazzone said the rise in low-carb celebrity diets in recent years had caused a misunderstanding about the health benefits of carbohydrates. She said more women were skipping carbs, leading to a sluggish metabolism and a slowing down of the body's ability to maintain a healthy weight.
"What I notice among clients on low-carb diets is a lack of energy and, very frequently, bowel problems as well as a slow metabolism," Ms Mazzone said.
This also often led to cravings and binge eating of sugary foods with little nutritional value such as chocolate, cakes and lollies.

Nothing in this article about buying your grains from a bulk food shop in their natural form? Most of the grain products on the market are processed junk, especially what passes for "bread", whole-grain included.
Comment 1 of 3
Beth W of Perth Posted at 12:28 AM March 02, 2013
Um, this article is nonsense. Did the Cancer Council Chief Executive Brenda Wilson really say that carbohydrates contain fibre?! Or are you paraphrasing to the point that you've actually changed the meaning of what she said. Also, I highly doubt that "most" people are not aware that fruit, vegetables, breads, cereals and sugary foods contain carbohydrate. Terrible reporting. Misleading article.

Jaycee Posted at 12:35 AM March 02, 2013
Yuh- it's not rocket science folks. Just keep away from cheap, convenient food in boxes and 'soft' drink (including 'fruit' juice). The bulk of any diet should be vegetables, whole grain carbs are fine but shouldn't be the bulk of the food consumed. Fad diets just show how unbalanced people's attitude to healthy eating has become- it's pig out on the Standard Australian Supermarket Diet, or pick at minimal portions of strange restricted diets. Oilve oil is our friend not the enemy... It will take generations to sort out this mess. After the deprevation of the great depression sugar became a daily food group, now you can't even buy a tin of tuna without having to check there's no sugar in it. And it's not natural. It's a refined product.

This article was previously published under Q200299
On This Page
When you use either the Format or DatePart function to determine the week number for dates using the following syntax:
the last Monday in some calendar years is returned as week 53 when it should be week 1.
When determining the week number of a date according to the ISO 8601 standard, the underlying function call to the Oleaut32.dll file mistakenly returns week 53 instead of week 1 for the last Monday in certain years.
Use a user-defined function to return the Week number based on the rules for the ISO 8601 standard. An example is included in this article.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Oleaut32.dll file.
The ISO 8601 standard is used extensively in Europe and includes the following:
This can be implemented by applying these rules for Calendar weeks:
ISO 8601 "Data elements and interchange formats - Information interchange - Representation of dates and times" ISO 8601 : 1988 (E) paragraph 3.17: "week, calendar: A seven day period within a calendar year, starting on a Monday and identified by its ordinal number within the year; the first calendar week of the year is the one that includes the first Thursday of that year. In the Gregorian calendar, this is equivalent to the week which includes 4 January."
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
WorkaroundsIf you use the Format or DatePart functions, you need to check the return value and, when it is 53, run another check and force a return of 1, if necessary. This code sample demonstrates one way to do this:
You can avoid using these functions to determine Week number by writing code that implements the ISO 8601 rules described above. The following example demonstrates a replacement function to return the Week number.

Soccer: MLS' Chicago Fire set to open camp at Ave Maria on Monday
NAPLES - By the time the Chicago Fire end its two-week training camp session in Ave Maria beginning on Monday, it's going to be tough to leave the mid-70s and clear skies of Florida for the cold wind, rain and snow awaiting them at home.
In between, local soccer fans will have a unique opportunity to catch the Major League Soccer team train up close and play against local and national competition.
Starting with a two-hour workout beginning at 5 p.m. on Monday evening, the team will hold training sessions open to the public every day thereafter from Feb. 15-25 from 9 to 11 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. The second session on Thursday will be replaced by an exhibition game against the FGCU men's team, and on Feb. 23, the Fire will play a doubleheader against fellow MLS club New York Red Bulls in Fort Lauderdale.
On the way out of town, the Fire also will play a friendly against the Seattle Sounders FC at Bradenton's IMG Academy on Feb. 26.
"We want to see this whole area wearing red," Chicago Fire Juniors Southwest Florida club administrator Dwight Morgan said. "Bringing an experience like this to the area will give us a lot of exposure to the MLS and is good for the exposure of youth soccer in the area."
As part of the local chapter of Chicago's youth academy affiliation, the entire Fire team and coaches will host a free clinic at North Collier Regional Park on Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m. The clinic is open to the public and free of charge. That evening, the team will participate in a meet-and-greet at The Pub at Mercato beginning at 6 p.m.
Traveling with the Fire is 17-year-old Victor Pineda, a midfielder from Chicago that was signed after playing in the Chicago Fire Juniors system. The Fire's roster also includes defender/midfielders Cory Gibbs and Logan Pause, each of whom have spent time with the U.S. Men's National Team, and has been the club home of players like DaMarcus Beasley, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, and Brian McBride.
"I think that the Fire are at the top of Major League Soccer in regards to youth development," Morgan said. "The amount of talent and players that have played for them through the years will continue in the years to come."
For information and registration details for the free clinic, as well as those interested in bringing groups to watch Fire training sessions, contact Morgan at email@example.com.

New Java 7 language features should be backwards compatible
Right NOW, I am just starting to use J2SE 5.0's features, like generic types or java.util.concurrent, in my bigger projects. The reason is that large corps are slow, and they use application servers from even slower vendors...
Sun's new synchronized security updates policy
More details in this article: Sun Advances Security for the Java SE Platform.
Sun JDK 6.0u2 is available
This is a massive update with 182 fixes and enhancements, including a few performance optimizations that allowed Sun to recover the SPECjbb2005 nonclustered record as reported by David Dagastine.
JSR 305: Annotations for Software Defect Detection
If you are like me and you'be been voting on bugs like 4449383: Support For 'Design by Contract', beyond "a simple assertion facility" (#2 in the Top RFEs!), or 4093718: const - qualifier for methods, parameters and return-value (closed as &
Java SE 5.0 Update 8's cool performance fixes
Java SE 5.0 Update 8 is available. Besides the traditional few dozens of bugfixes, this release closes a number of important performance bugs in the JIT compiler, GC and runtime. So even if you play more in the conservative side, it's a great time to evaluate and upgrade your Java runtime.
Mustang's HotSpot Client gets 58% faster!
[FIXED: I originally posted wrong data for JSE 6.0 Client b59's: the average score was correct, so it stands that the Client VM became 58% faster; but scores for the individual tests were identical to other VM as I copy&pasted the HTML but didn't change the values. Sorry for the confusion.
Tomcat goes Native
Check Tomcat 5.5.12 or later. When you install these new builds, the installer (at least on Windows) offers to download a native code library that Tomcat will use to optimize some performance-critical tasks like connection handling, file I/O and SSL encryption.
Opening Java
I've been a close observer of the evolution of the Java platform, and one of the aspects that attracted me since the beginning was its openness. Back in 1996, the JDK 1.0 bundled source code for all public API classes (378Kb!).

Q: My 13 year old daughter hangs out with the neighbors when she is alone with her mother. I don't mind a casual conversation ,but I feel there is no deference between adults and child. I feel any one over the age of 18 is an adult. The neighbors are about 24 years old each. The 24 year old female neighbor talks about how cute boys are and other conversations that I think peers should talk to each other about. My daughter gets into adult conversation and jokes around with them with off color jokes. I don't think she should cross that line with adults no matter how much they feel like peers. I don't feel she should be hanging out with adults and not respect the boundaries of the ages. She imposes on them and asks them for things. She says they are friends, but I also think this is a line that should be crossed with respect to them being adults and not family.
These neighbors also drink pretty heavy. What is the etiquette on a thirteen year old hanging out at parties with or without alcohol with no other kids present even though they are our neighbors?
At any occasion. What is the etiquette on a 13 year old getting alcohol from the fridge or passing it on from one adult to another adult? and with respect to that question, What is the etiquette on a 13 year old offering and bringing alcohol to a known or unknown guest who walks into the home. I feel this is not her place and adult business should be left to adults.
A: Your concerns are very valid and your daughter is in a situation that can be too influential, in a negative way, in her young life. She should not be passing alcoholic beverages, or "hanging out" unsupervised, or in the company of 20-somethings who don't understand the difference between a child of 13 and their age. There is a vast difference between 13 and 24, in life experience and maturity, and it is not positive for your daughter to have this be a strong influence in her life.You need to make certain that instead she has age-appropriate activities with children her own age on a regular basis. If this is very difficult, or you and her mother disagree, certainly elicit the help of your daughter's guidance counselor to find other, more age-appropriate activities for her.

I am behind the times, I know. I do not have an iphone. Which means I do not have Instagram. But I can still play around with getting my own Instagram effects using Photoshop Elements 9. And it is easy.
If you don't have Photoshop, there are other photo editing programs that will do basically the same things. Gimp is one that comes to mind. So I have put together a tutorial on getting Instagram effects using photo editing tools. If you want to view it just keep on reading. If not – leave me a comment telling me how talented I am. And I am not kidding. (OK, ok! – I'm totally kidding).
Open the image you want to play with.
The first thing we need to do, is make a background layer. I know! I said layer! But they really aren't scary. Trust me. Click on Layer and then Duplicate Layer.
The Duplicate Layer Box will pop up. Just click "OK"
And then, you will see the Background Layer added to the Layer palate. (Which will be at the right of your screen if using PE9). Make sure your Background Layer is the active layer. In the picture below, "background copy" is black and "background" is gray. There is also a white box around the image. This means my background layer is the active layer… so all is well.
Next, click on Edit and then Fill Layer.
And a box will pop up, like this one.
Click on the arrow shown, to expand the contents box. Then click on "Color"
This causes another box to pop up, and here we will choose a soft yellow to fill our Background Layer. What shade you choose doesn't really matter. It just needs to be a light, soft, yellow. If you want to use the yellow I have shown here you can always key in the color code at the bottom. Mine is eee9ac. Just type that in and you will have the exact color as this one.
After you have chosen your color, click "OK".
Then click "OK" on your Fill Layer Box.
And now you have totally ruined your photo.
Just kidding. This is what it will look like.
Over at the right edge of your screen, you will see your Layers. See how the background copy is now yellow?
You will see a Drop Down Box with the word "normal". Click on the arrow to expand it. Then click on "Multiply".
Here is the photo of what we have so far.
Now we are going to merge our layers so we can move on to the next step. Click on Layer >Merge Visible.
Now we are ready to work on the levels. This is what makes it all happen. Click on Enhance, then Adjust Lighting, then Levels.
Your Levels Box will pop up.
In this next step, we are going to lighten and fade the photo. My "channel" is on RGB. And I have circled the two arrows on the histogram box that need to be slid to the left. How much, depends on your photo. But you can see how far I slid mine over and the effect I received.
Now that our overall RGB level is lightened, we are going to adjust the green, red, and then blue individual colors. In the Channel drop down box, click the arrow to expand it. Your choices will be RGB, Red, Green or Blue. Click on green.
The middle slider (circled in orange) needs to be moved over to the left. You can see how far I moved mine and the effect it gave me.
Now let's move on. Go back up to the Channel Drop Down Box and choose Red. The slider you will be moving for red, is at the very bottom. It is the Output Level Slider. And this one will be moved to the RIGHT a bit.
And lastly, you will do the same thing for Blue. Select it from the Channel Box and move the Output Level Slider over to the right.
Then go back to your RGB color in the Channel box and we are going to put back in some black that was removed. Move the left arrow over until reaches the edge of where the black histogram lines begin.
Next, we will crop the photo as desired. For this photo I decided to rotate it to the left a little bit before cropping so I will go ahead and include these steps in case you want to do the same thing to yours. Click on Image, then Rotate, then Custom.
And this box will pop up. I set mine to 4 and wanted it to rotate to the left. Click "OK".
(I ended up repeating this step because 4 wasn't enough. So I actually rotated this photo 8 degrees to the left)
8 degrees rotated to the left.
Next, we will crop the picture to get rid of the white that was caused when rotating our image. On your left side toolbar you will see the rectangular selection tool. Click it.
Start in the top corner and click and drag your rectangle square, as desired, around your image.
Then click Image, then Crop.
Here is what we have so far.
And now the final punch – this part is the most fun! In PE9, go over to the right of your screen and click on Edit and then Guided. (And I just have to stop here and tell you how much I love this guided feature in PE9. You can do so many things with it.)
After you click on Guided, a box opens with a lot of options. Scroll on down until you see Lomo Camera Effect. And then click it.
The box below will pop up. There are two things we will do here. First, click on Cross Process Image.
And next, click on Apply Vignette.
Click Done (at bottom)
And click Full (at top). This closes out this special effects section you were in and takes us back to regular Photoshop.
You now need to merge your layers.
Click on Layer, then Merge Visible.
The last thing I want to do on this photo, is add a black border. This is very easy to do. First go to your rectangular selection tool and click it.
Then Click in a top corner and drag your rectangle down to the bottom, outlining your photo. You want to eye-ball it so the distance is pretty even on all 4 sides. If it isn't, just try again until you get it like you want. Sometimes I try 4 or 5 times until it looks good enough before I fill it in with black.
After your border looks good and even, click on Select and then Inverse.
You will now see a double border line.
We are going to fill this with black. Click on Edit and then Fill Selection.
You will see the Fill Layer Box pop up. Click on the arrow to expand the selections.
Click on Black and then click "OK".
Here is the finished photo on my screen.
And here is the final Photo. So tell me what you think? Has this photo gone all Instagram on its bad little self?
And just for the fun of it – I opened up my finished final photo above and wondered what would happen if I played around with the levels to create more of an edgy feel.
All I did was open up my levels Box again and leaving it on RGB, slid the left slider towards to right and the right slider towards the left. In other words, I just moved them closer in the direction of the middle of the histogram. I don't have a close up, but if you look at the histogram in the screen shot below you can see the left and right arrows that have been slid closer to the middle.
Much more edgy! Maybe too much? Not sure. I think I like the first version better. But it's always fun to play around to see what you can come up with.
So which one do you like better? The softer version or the edgy one?

March 12, 2014
By David Inserra
Congress is now considering multiple bills to extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), a law designed to shore up insurance companies as they adapted to the threat of terrorism after 9/11.
While it had a legitimate purpose following the attacks of 9/11, TRIA is no longer needed and serves only as a form of corporate welfare to insurance companies. Rather than continue this program, Congress should allow the insurance companies to stand on their own: The market has matured considerably since the days after 9/11, and insurers have had plenty of time to develop the tools needed to insure against terrorism.
In the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. was unsure about both the future of terrorism and the dangers to the U.S. Insurance companies incurred huge costs as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and were not sure how to appropriately price premiums for the risk of terrorism in the future. This uncertain situation threatened the issuance of insurance to thousands of companies that wanted insurance protection against terrorism.
To stabilize the insurance industry, the U.S. government stepped in to provide reinsurance for catastrophic terrorism losses, effectively limiting the losses that the insurance industry would absorb in the event of another serious attack. TRIA gave the insurance industry risk protection and time to assess risk and appropriately price insurance for terrorism and ensured that the rest of the private sector could obtain the insurance.
TRIA, however, was never meant to be a permanent program. The original bill stated that TRIA would "provide temporary financial compensation to insured parties, contributing to the stabilization of the United States economy in a time of national crisis, while the financial services industry develops the systems, mechanisms, products, and programs necessary to create a viable financial services market for private terrorism risk insurance."
That was over 10 years ago. The U.S. is now out of crisis mode, and the insurance industry has had plenty of time to develop the tools and gather the data it needs to assess the risk of terrorism and price insurance accordingly.
In the years since 9/11, the percentage of larger companies purchasing terrorism insurance has increased from around 27 percent in 2003 to more than 60 percent. In some industries and areas of the country, insurance coverage is as high as 80 percent.[1] Costs have also fallen, with the median premium rate for medium- and large-size firms falling by almost 60 percent from $57 million to $25 million between 2004 and 2009.[2]
Given the development of a functioning insurance market, there is no need for the federal government, and thus the U.S. taxpayer, to be on the hook for terrorism insurance payouts. The insurance industry and the companies that want to buy terrorism insurance are now perfectly capable of assessing the value of this insurance and making informed decisions in the marketplace.
Ultimately, TRIA is now little more than corporate welfare that is likely hindering the full maturation of the terrorism reinsurance market. At this point, there is no reason for the American taxpayer to be responsible for insurance losses on private property.
Currently, there are multiple bills that would extend TRIA by either five years (H.R. 508) or 10 years (H.R. 1945 and 2146). These misguided bills would extend a temporary program that has already been extended twice and is now well past the time it should have been ended. Continuing in the path of many other programs and taxes before it, TRIA shows how temporary programs can easily become semi-permanent or even permanent policies.
Rather than reauthorize TRIA, Congress should allow it to expire. TRIA is a temporary program that is no longer needed. Failing to end it would merely allow an unnecessary bailout of the insurance industry to continue at the taxpayers' expense.
TRIA served a purpose following 9/11 as a backstop for insurance companies as they figured out how to reconfigure terrorism insurance rates. But the industry has had more than enough time to determine how to assess risk and price insurance policies and no longer needs the assistance of the American taxpayer. Congress should allow TRIA to expire and let this important industry return to private hands.

Sharing Memories - A Genealogy Journey for 2012. This is our third year writing our memoirs and childhood memories for our descendants.
If you are just joining us, you can take a peek at the last two years' of topics by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of the blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, and the topics are just a guide if you want or need them.
The goal is to write - to put your memories on paper for your descendants. So please join us and write either here as a comment, or in your private journal or on your own blog.
Did you have sleepovers as a child? I did. My mom was really good about letting us have friends over and since there were four of us, often the house was full of noise and other kids. One thing I got to have as a teen was sleepovers - lots of them! None of the other girls in my class were allowed to have them so it was a pretty exciting time when I set one up.
We'd stay up all night. My room was upstairs and my mother's bedroom was on the main floor so all night long she'd come up the stairs and tell us to shush as she had to go to work in the morning. I don't know how she got through work the next day as we couldn't stay quiet for long.
We'd put our hair in rollers and have pillow fights, giggle and talk about boys. And around 5 am we'd all fall asleep - so much for our goal to stay awake all night.
At one sleepover I talked the other girls into buying packages of hair dye at our local drugstore. We went crazy, buying various colors. Hair dye was a powder and it came in little envelopes. We helped each other dye our hair in the laundry tub in our basement. It didn't really do much for most of us but some of the girls with blonde hair had a mess once the dye took. I still remember that the other mothers were furious with my mother for not stopping us.
The sleepovers didn't stop but we did smarten up a bit. What were your sleepovers like?

I remember one sleep-over when I was about 8 years old. It was literally at the top of our street with a neighbour's daughter. I was DESPERATELY home-sick and cried for my mother. I can remember feeling nauseous with yearning for her. My mum had to collect me and she laughed at me and made light of it, but I don't think she realised just how bad I felt. Pathetic!!! I honestly can't remember any others...perhaps there were none!!!!

Accessibility Information
For UK minimum access standards for new and existing stadia and for good practice guidance please click here.
Getting There & Parking
The club have a limited number of 17 parking places which are allocated disabled home fans. These places can be purchased on a seasonal basis for home fans at a concessionary rate. Applications can be made to the ticket office. Seasonal passes will be issued depending on availability. Occasionally additional bays are available on a match by match basis and these can be purchased at £10 per game. (Subject to availability)
In addition, the club provides 2 disabled parking bays for away disabled supporters and these are available on request on a first-come, first-served basis as a cost of £10 per bay.
The club will also try and accommodate additional parking requests from away disabled supporters and have up to a 100 extra spaces prioritised for disabled supporters.
The club has created a Drop off/ set down point at the rear of the Hirerite Building where disabled or elderly supporters will find seating provided for their convenience whilst their driver parks their vehicle away from the stadium. To avoid congestion this facility can only be used up until 45minutes before kick-off.
National Rail have published links to the nearest stations to sporting venues including Bristol City see here for more information.
Level Playing Field have not verified the information given and we suggest that you contact the station direct if you have any access requirements.
Getting a Ticket
For information on purchasing a ticket please visit the Bristol City website.
Tickets for disabled supporters can be purchased by contacting 0117 963 0600 - or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Spectator Viewing areas
Home supporters have 82 spaces for wheelchair users available to them, and these can be found at pitchside and on an elevated platform in the Wiliams stand. 17 spaces for wheelchair users can be found on a slightly raised area in the away section for away supporters.
NB: Under existing minimum standards for accessible stadia, the club should have 153 wheelchair spaces (130 home and up to 23 away). 75% of these should be elevated positions and the remaining 25% pitchside.
LPF's view is that many disabled supporters should be able to access general seating areas and only those with specific needs eg those who require extra legroom, or access via aisle seats or who need step free access etc should be allocated seats in the dedicated areas.
Based on the above, the club therefore only meets 65% of the guidance and has a shortfall of 54 wheelchair spaces. They should be working on a plan to rectify this deficit within a reasonable timeframe under the auspices of a full independent Access Audit.
Accessible amenities
There are 7 accessible toilets, 2 in the Atyeo stand and 5 in the Dolman stand which are all accessible from the shared concourse. The club shop is accessible for all fans and does not have a low level serving counter. Catering kiosks in the home and away sections do not have low level serving counters and so are not fully accessible.
A Changing Places toilet facility is planned as part of the ongoing stadium development and is due in Summer 2016.
Accessible services & information
The club does not have a hearing loop. Match commentaries are available via 12 headsets available by booking prior to the game at the ticket office. Match commentary is provided via the local hospital radio service. The supporters must ensure that adequate insurance cover is in place for the headset. Facilities for assistance dogs are available. Rest points are available on the concourses inside the stadium. The club also has 2 wheelchairs which can be used by fans free of charge.
The club provides matchday ambassadors with wheelchairs to assist people from the gates, as required to their seats.
To visit the club website on their facilities for disabled supporters click here.
Stadium developments
The ground is currently undergoing a huge redevelopment, the Wedlock stand was demolished and the new south stand is opening this season to replace it. The grandstand is currently being demolished and will be rebuilt this season. It is due to open for the season 2016/17 and will feature the bulk of our home disabled facilities, including raised wheelchair platforms and lifts for fans to access the second tier as well as a other accessible facilities.
Updated August 2015.

Match: Sheffied Utd visit to Ashton Gate
Published: 27/11/2013
Thanks for the feedback from the Sheffield Utd fans. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about the backless seats. There is a plan to demolish that stand at the end of the season and improve facilities for all disabled fans in future years.
I will make sure that the emergency cord is extended and that a lock is fitted on the cubicle door.

Match: Bristol City v SUFC November 23rd 2013
Published: 24/11/2013
On arrival our coach was allowed to park near to the Halfords roundabout to drop off and for us to be picked up at the end of the match which is great as it is a long walk from the coach park. On arrival we were shown to our places at the top of a ramp, however the stewards were very good helping us push the wheelchairs up. The wheelchair area is not very large and it is difficult once in to get back out to the toilet without the other chairs moving. The carers seats are all in a line behind the w/chairs unless there are only a few there and you can spread out.
One thing that should be put right is the carers seats have no backs on them so it was very uncomfortable. But we noticed NONE of the away fans seats have backs on, surely this is a health and safety issue as one of our friends leaned back not realising there was no back on and banged his head. You would get very wet if it rains as the area was very wet underfoot having had rain that morning.
The toilet was very clean with HOT water and SOAP also hand sanitiser. The only down side is the emergency cord was not to the floor as it should be and was tied up. The ladies loo was exceptionally clean too however one cubicle had no lock on the door.
The view of the pitch is quite good but not the corner flag at the far end as it is blocked with the hand rail. The stewards were very pleasant and very helpful. All in all a good day out.

Match: Bristol City v Wolves
Published: 20/8/2013
Visited Ashton gate on the 17th August 2013 for a league 1 game.
In my opinion you are best contacting the City ticket office regarding disabled parking spaces. I contacted them 5 weeks before the game and even though the tickets were not yet available, I was told that I would be put on a list and they would contact me prior to the game to organise for me. I was contacted 48 hours prior to the game (bit close but its the way they do it), asked my requirments and they booked me into a bay directly outside door 7 which is the away entrance for wheelchairs. I had to pay £10 for the privilege but it takes the worry out of the travel down (im sure you will agree with that).
On arrival I was greeted on the gate and issued with an envelope with my name on containing my permit . I was then shown by another steward where bay 47 was (even though it had the number on it). On reaching it we found them filled with police vans (right outside the police office) but they kindley moved when asked and we parked up.
There were plenty of refreshment vans and also a KFC close to the ground should you require anything to eat. On entering the ground you do have to go up quite a steep incline but stewards are there should you need help. At the top of the slope you are directly next to the viewing ramp for wheel chairs and do get a good view of the pitch. The only issue was that there were more wheelchairs than room on the ramp.
Overall stewarding was ok , toilets right by the entrance as you go in. Word of advice ,when leaving let the crowd go first as they all go out down the incline and you may need to go down backwards with the help of a carer or steward.
No issues with the home support and police very helpfull. All in all a good place to visit.

Agree with previous post. Why the club won't let wheelchair users sit on the raised section behind the ramp where you'd get an excellent view I don't know. Until they move into the new stadium this would be a very cheap and good compromise.

Travelled to Ashton gate for Swindon Towns League cup game, the away coaches are parked about 300yds away from the entrance, there are disabled car spaces closer.
The Stewards were very helpful showing us to the wheelchair spaces close to the corner flag in the Wedlock stand. There was a steward on hand all through the game and the disabled toilet was close to where we were seated. The only drawbacks were the disabled ramp was a little steep, and view of the other end of the pitch was hampered by the safety rail, also the seating arrangements could have been better spaced as all the helpers seats were in one line, would of been better if if it was one wheelchair one seat,
All in all I would score the ground as a 7 out of 10 stewarding a 8 out of 10.
Food prices seemed a little high looked like £4 for a burger but there is a KFC right outside the ground where a meal with fries and a drink was £4.49 better value and they didn't mind you taking it in the ground ( a steward actually carried it in for me as i made my way up the ramp. The programme was £1 and quite small but informative, not sure if this is normal as this was a rearranged match due to the riots a couple of weeks ago.
Ashton gate is well worth the trip, The result went Swindon's way with them ending up worthy winners 1-0. Great evening out.
