MAYFLOWER, Ark. (KTHV) - Mayflower has shown some obvious signs of improvement after the oil spill three months ago. As residents and county officials went about their daily business, many were indifferent about the most recent complaint against Exxon.
"The fellows who have worked on the project have been very helpful," said Rob Fellows while sitting in Stroud's Country Diner. He is a fifth generation Mayflower resident, and he's been pleased with the cleanup.
Hall said he was not surprised when he caught word of the lawsuit being filed against Exxon.
"They have done an exceptional job in my opinion. The people have had to move in the subdivision over there, but it's kind of like my house got hit by lightning, so you know, that's an act of God and accidents do happen."
Word of the new complaint against the oil company traveled slowly through the small town. Hall said while he hates what happened, there is a silver lining.
"As far as the drainage and all of the things that they've done, they're leaving it in a lot better shape than what it was to begin with."
Allan Dodson, the Faulkner County Judge has been at the oil spill site since it happened and said he's seen a big improvement over the course of a few months.
"We're standing in the cul-de-sac where the rupture occurred...The oil ran through this cul-de-sac, turned the corner and ran down North Starlight," said Dodson. "Anything from soiled dirt where oil soaked into the dirt. That all had to be removed, so that's some of the debris."
Dodson said he has not read the complaint on the way the waste was disposed of, but believes it's more about a timing issue than contaminating the environment.
"I think there's some left. It's my understanding that Exxon just hasn't finished that process. May have taken longer than ADEQ feels was appropriate or may not. I'm not sure."
On Thursday, the Arkansas Department of Health was meeting with residents who have been displaced since March 29 to go over air quality testing recently completed inside their homes.

L. Poliakov, 87, Historian of Anti-Semitism
Published: December 10, 1997
Leon Poliakov, a historian of anti-Semitism who testified at major war crimes trials, died Monday in France, where he lived, leaders of Jewish groups said. He was 87.
Mr. Poliakov wrote the five-volume ''History of Anti-Semitism,'' as well as ''20th Century Totalitarianism,'' ''Jewish Bankers and the Holy See'' and ''From the Mongolian Yoke to Lenin.'' Together with Joseph Wulf, he also wrote ''The Third Reich and the Jews,'' a book of official German records documenting Nazi crimes against Jews.
In 1987 in Paris, Mr. Poliakov appeared as a witness against Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief in Lyons, France, testifying that the killing of Jews was the cornerstone of Hitler's plot to conquer the world, was described as such by the SS leader Heinrich Himmler in 1943 and was known to Nazi officers like Barbie. He also testified in the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders after World War II.
Books by Mr. Poliakov were on the prison reading list of Adolf Eichmann as he awaited trial in Jerusalem in 1961 for arranging the transport of millions of Jews to Nazi death camps. In 1966 Mr. Poliakov was also appointed to a panel of psychologists, sociologists and historians to study the causes of genocide.
Mr. Poliakov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and fled with his family to Paris shortly after the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Later he studied law in Paris and served in France's national research institute.

BALTIMORE, April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Urologist Dr. Brad D. Lerner, a member of Chesapeake Urology Associates and chief of urology at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, was honored on Thursday, April 19, 2012 with a citation from Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley in recognition of more than 22 years of outstanding service to Union Memorial Hospital and the surrounding community.
The citation was presented at a ceremony at Dr. Lerner's Union Memorial office. Those in attendance included Dr. Stuart B. Bell, vice president of medical affairs at Union Memorial Hospital, patient John Scharf who nominated Dr. Lerner for the citation, and many hospital and Chesapeake Urology staff members.
Mr. Scharf was treated for an enlarged prostate by Dr. Lerner, who performed successful laser prostate surgery at Union Memorial Hospital. Mr. Scharf was greatly impressed with the high quality of care he received. "I felt that Dr. Lerner deserved some type of high recognition," he explains. "I've been a patient of his for five years. Through the course of my treatment, the care that I received from him, the Union Memorial staff and the whole Chesapeake Urology group and nurses was just incredible."
The Governor's Citation reads: "In recognition of a well-deserved tribute to congratulate you on being honored by Union Memorial Hospital for your more than 22 years of outstanding service on behalf of Union Memorial Hospital and the surrounding community, and as the people of Maryland join together in expressing our deep appreciation and highest regard for your ongoing work as a respected urologist and the important contributions you have made in the field of medicine, we are pleased to confer upon you this Governor's Citation."
Dr. Lerner is a urologist with a broad range of special interests including prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction and enlarged prostate (BPH). He is one of the leading male fe

Beat the fall cooking blahs with a soup swap! Here's how.
It is positively brisk outside these days, and nothing warms you up from the inside like a piping hot bowl of soup. The trouble with soup is that the canned variety can be awfully salty and kind of boring, and we're often too busy around the holidays to cook up lots of soups ourselves. Soup swap to the rescue!
Instead of cooking up batch after batch of soup, you can team up with some friends! Everyone cooks up one giant batch of his or her very best soup, packages it up in quart-sized containers, and on swap day, everyone trades up!
Organizing Your Soup Swap
There are a 3 keys to planning a successful soup swap. You need someone in charge of coordinating and to host the swap, and there are a few things you'll want to decide:
- How many quarts of soup are people making? Soup swaps are best when everyone brings the same amount of soup.
- Do any participants have dietary restrictions? Not everyone needs to adhere to folks' restrictions, but it helps to know up front what your soup audience is.
- What snacks will you serve? Talking about soup is bound to make everyone hungry, so have some snacks and drinks available at your swap.
Once everyone knows how much soup to make and what ingredients (if any) they need to avoid, you can all get cooking!

Update: This whitepaper is now available on Microsot.com at http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/d/14d17804-1659-435d-bc11-657a6da308c0/VSvsVPC.doc. Thanks to those of you who gave me comments on the draft.
Here's a draft of a whitepaper I'm working on that will ultimately be posted on Microsoft.com. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
** This information is provided as-is with no warranties. **
This whitepaper explains the difference between Virtual PC and Virtual Server, and discusses when you would use one versus the other. Virtual PC is Microsoft's virtual machine solution for desktop applications, and Virtual Server is its solution for server applications. While they share many features in common, because of their different usage scenarios, a number of their features are different.
Virtual PC provides an optimal experience for a desktop user who wants to run one or more additional desktop operating systems on his or her PC. The user interface is fairly simple and there is extensive integration between the host operating system running on the physical computer and the guest operating systems running in virtual machines. For example, users can easily drag and drop data between virtual machines and their host. In addition, the sound and display features of virtual machines are much the same as physical computers. On the other hand, Virtual Server provides features to support the requirements of enterprise server applications and administration. For example, due to more stringent security requirements, there is less integration between the host and guest operating systems. Virtual Server also provides a number of features to support greater manageability, scalability, and extensibility.
The fundamental difference between Virtual PC and Virtual Server is that Virtual PC is designed for desktop (or "client" or "PC") operating systems and Virtual Server is designed for server operating systems.
While the two products have many features in common, they serve different needs, so there are crucial differences between them as well. For example, because it supports desktop applications, the Virtual PC user interface is designed with the typical desktop user in mind. The configuration options are relatively simple and easy for the average computer user to understand and use. On the other hand, Virtual Server is designed for running enterprise server operating systems and applications. It provides the configuration and management options that are required for server management, and these necessarily make the user interface more complex. As a result, making effective use of Virtual Server requires some degree of knowledge of server technologies.
As already mentioned, Virtual PC is designed for running desktop operating systems and applications. Some primary usage scenarios for Virtual PC are:
These scenarios are described in detail in the Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Technical Overview white paper, available the Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45404. The uses that you can find for Virtual PC are limited only by your resourcefulness, though. For example, you might set up Virtual PC for your family to use for browsing the Internet. That way you don't have to worry about anything they download because it won't affect the host operating system. If the virtual machine becomes corrupted or infected with a virus, you can simply delete it and start over.
Virtual Server is designed for running enterprise server operating systems and applications. Some primary usage scenarios for Virtual Server are:
Virtual Server and Virtual PC have a number of features in common, such as:
While they share many features in common, due to the different usage scenarios there are also a number of differences between Virtual Server and Virtual PC, which are described in this topic.
To support the requirements of desktop users, Virtual PC provides the following features that are not available in Virtual Server:
To support the requirements of an enterprise environment, Virtual Server provides the following features that are not available (or needed) in Virtual PC:
For Virtual Server, supported host and guest operating systems are server operating systems, except for Windows XP Professional, which is supported as a host operating system. Supported host operating systems are Windows Server 2003 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter Editions), Windows Small Business Server (Standard and Premium Editions), and Windows XP Professional. Supported guest operating systems include these plus Windows 2000 Server, all editions except Enterprise as well as Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition SP6a. See the Virtual Server documentation for more information.
RAM. Support for up to 3.6 GB RAM per virtual machine.
Two-node clustering. Virtual Server provides simple two-node failover from one virtual machine to another for testing and development.
The following are references to additional information and resources for using Virtual PC and Virtual Server.
Hi Megan,
nice article - informative and direct.
Hi Megan,
good work. This will be really useful for customers approaching Microsoft virtualization.
I reported the paper on my blog.
Alessandro Perilli
Correction: Need to change "Software Management Services" to "Systems Management Server 2003 SP1"
Clarification: Need to change "Multi Processor Support" to "Host Multi Processor Support"
Good article.
Got it. Thanks Jules!
Very helpful paper. Looks good!
My only suggestion would be to expand a little on the part about Virtual Server's only being able to utilize one processor on the host machine. Does this apply to physical processors or virtual processors or both? What kind of impact does this have on virtual machines. Does this same limitation exist for Virtual PC?
Hi Bryant,
Virtual Server can take advantage of up to 32 physical processors on the host. Each running virtual machine can use up to one CPU. So, for example, you could have 31 running virtual machines, each using one CPU, with the host operating system using one CPU. Virtual PC can take advantage of only one physical processor (which makes sense, given that it's rare to find a multi-processor desktop machine).
Does this clear things up?
I am currently updating my slidedeck for the webcast I'm doing this Friday on Virtual Server bringing...
Great paper - I'm going to add it to the TAM Newsletter for May 2005 :)
Great article (*)! Need to raise a couple of points for clarification:
(*) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/techinfo/vsvsvpc.mspx
1. this paper was published officially May 2005 (per article) but did not include any key VPC 2004 SP1 info released in Oct 2004 (e.g. Win Server 2003 Standard as host, improved Win XP SP2 support as guest): http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/downloads/sp1.mspx
2. Win 2000 Server and Win Server 2003 are not explicitly listed as supported guest OS under VPC 2004 (Pg 8 in this paper), neither in this paper nor online (last update November 10, 2003) at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/evaluation/overview2004.mspx and http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/evaluation/sysreqs.mspx
W2k3 as guest has been a feature in several MS Learning "Instructor-lead" MOC courses (VPC 2004) for sometime now.
3. same as #2 above but for Windows Small Business Server 2003 (SP1 as well?).
4. in this paper section 'Shared Features' on Pg 7, can the 'certain limitations' be expanded on?
Thanks a lot!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum... I mean Los Santos
I am a big Rockstar/GTA fan.� Loved the series since playing 1 on pc, all the way through getting mildly frustrated on GTA London. Again, pc'd my way through the first 3d version of the series, GTA III.� Dedicated my console love with Vice City when I bought a PS2 just for it, years after it originally released.� [And we all know I love Sony.]� Went back to the pc version of GTA III just for the mods and mayhem, then went with Carl to a magical place of Gangsters and free roam. Another killer sound track in the bucket! Oh and I burned out several psp's reliving many of my favorite places on digital earth. [Vice City stories: you will always hold a special place in my heart.]
I even waited outside of a Gamestop Just to get the collectors edition of IV...
****Screech*** [Tires leaving more than heat on the road....]
I was hyped for 4.� I was. �Then I played it and I had to admit it was ok.� San Andreas, we have all talked about, it was not.� But on the wake of a game that even after feeling slightly left down by the hype machine last time, I feel hyped again for things to come but mostly I want to say this:
I have grown to appreciate what 4 was in the series.
In an urge to play 5 I am getting a fresh start on IV and I am realizing it was the stepping stone to what kept one of our favorite and most revered series alive.� In the wake of many things both real and imagined threatening our daily lives it is nice to see we can still have our fun.� Even when it might have not been what we wanted exactly in the end.� Now allowing for what looks to be the Pi�ce de r�sistance from Rockstar in their story telling endeavors to be here, now; it accomplished.
It stands alone, yet along with Red Dead Redemption, as part of this build up to Rockstar making something memorable for more reasons than violence and misinterpretation.� Learning multiplayer here and there. Learning what made the story; what drove a player to reach for the 100% mark.
Remembering they used to entertain like crazy with top down, sprite driven graphics and answering why can't we do it now but it much greater glory and depth.
I haven't played 5.� I am just another viewer on the outside sucking in every piece of news and content about this upcoming game.� Not feeling used, but fueled by the hype machine Rockstar is driving full speed down my neighborhood street.
Its not for everyone.� I am not stupid.� I have lived long enough to know that with over 7 billion people on this earth, not everything is for everyone.� I don't care.� I just care that this is going to happen and that I hope I feel this way again for other games.� I am a gamer and I am reading to take it back for Grove Street.

happy 9-9-09, happy birthday dreamcast, happy birthday nerf
in honor of the above mentioned things and the fact that i said i would write more and the fact that i am off today....... you guessed it! you get to hear from me! [:
well i have always been a fan of numbers. the sequences they create can be scary, funny, or just down right beautifully amazing. from fractals that please the eye, to exam papers that hurt the brain numbers are a central point in our universe and today is 9-9-09. now to be fair i'm more of an 11:11 kinda guy [have i written about that here?....] but a story i heard yesturday that applies to today has to be told. today, somewhere a customers little kid will turn 9... that is right 9 on 9-9-09. now if that end of days movie with Arnold is correct this kid might be the next antichrist, but that aside i think it was cool.
Next, Happy birthday dreamcast! this is mine with some custom light mods!!
oh how i wish i had more time to spend doing custom game console mods.
but anyway, that console really did change the way we saw gaming and was ahead of its time which i believe is showed in the fact that a few brave artists still make games for it. long live the memories of 4 player matches and soul caliber fights. i still remember getting in trouble [in college mind you, years after the dreamcast was canceled] for playing the sonic the hedgehog mini game on my dream cast vmu [which also got some custom leds i might add. sorry no pic] thank you sega for doing what you did to help make this passion what we know it as today. also, thanks for sticking around at least in the software world. i am not sure what we would do without you. [:
finally, happy birthday nerf. I have always been a fan of the elaborateness nerf puts into shooting your friends safely. take for example my latest and greatest catch..... check out this moster!
its belt fed, shoots 3 rounds a second, and if i ever get her straightened out i am sure that it would be the greatest safe-to-shoot-at-your-friends gun the world has ever seen. [next to what i hope will be the nerf gatlin gun. (drool......)] Happy birthday nerf keep up the good work of proving that guns [well your guns] can be safe, except for the occasional eye lose. [:
well enough about the day: to catch up from a previous post. my new slim is working great. because i backed up all the data from my original ps3 it wouldn't transfer my games to my new ps3. everything else transfered; pictures, saves, themes wallpapers, et cetera, just not my actual downloaded games. thank you sony store for the history list which allowed me to set up everything to download although i did find out there is a limit to the amount you can have queued at once. [: my 120 gig from the slim works great in my classic 60 and yes the restore to it restored my games to their rightful place on the original machine. i can now rock one for folding while i rock the other for batman arkham asyum.
Batman is a good old fashioned time that i have heard from several people is the best comic to game adaptation ever seen. i mean it for real when i say i feel like batman. sometimes i feel like the controls are a little wonky, but you have to deal with the "context sensitivity" [who here remembers the beginning of conkers bad fur day. [; ] of the crouching and climbing, or crouching and opening, or climbing over railings. [tip: double pressing "x" against a railing to climb over only rolls you into it ultimetly resulting in you either looking silly or getting riddled [no pun intended] with bullets. if you want to climb over or down, remember it is one press of the "x"]
Batman deserves all the praise that it gets. it looks great, plays wonderfully, and really draws you into the batman world. even if you have never been into batman, it is a rousing good time in the beat down arena. those theif/splinter cell/metal gear solid fans will even find some enjoyment in the sneaking around batman does as he swoops down and delivers justice from above, or below, or with the batclaw or batarang... or pretty much how ever he wants because he is batman and bad ass. [:
a solid BUY in my book! [and i don't ever say that]

Playstation 3 Slim is in the house!
well i don't think anyone read my last post but i decided that i would turn a $100 game into a $400 game and just get a second ps3: A ps3 slim. [note to sony, this is me buying into the vip access i was talking about i suppose [: ]
it is much smaller, much lighter, and a bit quiter than the last. i am actually in the process of getting it setup right now. i figured i could just swap my 500 gig hdd from my first ps3 and drop it into my new ps3 no problem. [ha ha ha wrong] but its the little things that bring me closer.
after a few hdd swaps, i am in the process of currently backing up my old ps3 to my ipod. the weird thing was that when i put the original 120 gig back in the ps3 slim and turned it on it didn't start up like i expected it to the first real time. it said i needed to get an update about 2.7 something on a removable media device and insert it into a card reader and force an install of update information. it just got done updating so we shall see how things go. i am probably going to get down on some arkham asylum while the backup on the other unit is happening. I have a rather dark unboxing video i might upload, but for now i will let things rest until tomorrow when i can update everyone on the backup and restore happenings hopefully by tomorrow i will have a 500gig ps3 slim and a 120 gig original 60 gig.
wish me luck folks, this stuff could get hairy.

Movie Review w/ bonus hibernation multipack
first what some of you might actually read. [:
got a chance to revisit a wonderful classic in American cinema
Hot Shots
that movie is as funny today as the first ten times i saw it. the wonderful jokes, toppers suprise flying, starter cameos for many big names, and my best part; recipes in the credits, lists of things to do after the movies. how cool is that! so do yourself a favor and go watch at least the first of this amazing set of films
Well, i haven't been online in a while. well that's a lie. i have been online but never for long enough to write on the blog. i get the news through the reader so don't worry guys i am reading. [:
Large job changes, relationship woahs, car problems like no man should have to go through, and 2 moves have kept me from being real active. i find this amazing comfort however in logging into dtoid and seeing my profile comfortably looking back at me with a lit cigar zapping its troubles away.
Things have been busy in the gaming world i have not been blind. working in retail, dealing a bit in video games, i have been able to enjoy some fun games experiences during my hibernation. Horde on gears 2 is amazingly good fun. [but oh so difficult at times] left for dead and halo 3 are always a good times. Resistance 2 was a beautiful piece of video game work that was fun for a twice through which is something i rarely grant a game considering i barely ever finish them. Killzone 2 has turned itself into a real good time for me as i run through shooting it up. I could go on but i will save that for another time. maybe force myself to write again. [: ooh! and Batman Arkham Asylum is a must play. too bad i can't play mine at home.... getting me to a complaint.
[note: i don't like to use this wonderful place as a soap box, but i'll be damned if it isn't the only one i got so i am going to splurge.]
i have a launch ps3 that has been my baby since i brought it home. [heck i preordered it almost two and a half years before release] after a year i noticed that newer games that i was purchasing would show graphical errors. nothing major; texture washing and flashing, object tearing to extreme outer levels of the screens. All my games were playable although it was lucky that i didn't get gtaiv just for my ps3. [thanks t.] because it wasn't playable until an update almost two months later and still had graphical errors.
Finally, Spryo started the chain. would choke almost right before every checkpoint. a no go. and i even tested in on another, newer ps3 and it worked flawless. fast forward a little bit, mirrors edges is the one that really ground my gears but my biggest gripe is my most recent purchase Batman arkham asylum and my future worry about god of war III. the weirdest part in all of this is that killzone 2 plays flawlessly, how can that be if my problem is purely hardware?????
the point. i sure as heck don't have a warranty from sony nor is my extended warranty any good. the biggest concern in either case was the worry that if i sent it for repair i wouldn't get a true original 60 gig. i am a purest in the sense that if i was psyched up something so that i can have my best chance at snatching the best one i don't want to ruin that risk on a technicality. and besides the problems didn't occur real bad till after both warranties faulted.
now, i don't have all the connections in the world, but i am a vary visted individual and i know of no one personally that can fix my whoes, and my only cry is out to sony.
i have been a faithful supporter of yours since my early childhood. i have recounted many times how one of your cd players survived a car crash and a night in the rain to keep playing today. that moment i was sold on the quality i could expect from you. ever since then i have helped sell your products, although never in a direct capacity, to friends and family and customers alike. i have a sony tv, sony dvd burner, multiple of multiple playstation consoles, some of which i have even used for more artful endeavors
i have sony cameras, camcorders, micro recorders, psp which i am trying to find my second, and now apparently a second ps3.
is there no hope for me. I'll buy my way into some exclusive club to get vip after warranty ps3 work done that would not only fix my problem but would hopefully figure out why this happened for others that i have read with the same problem. sony, i can only help you help yourself.
well enough of that, time to travel. have a good night everyone and keep watching. [:

one of the dirty little secrets
today i am going to confess a little secret of mine.
I love iCarly
i don't know why, but everytime the show comes on i have to watch it.
take the episode that prompted this rant:
i just watched carly's older brother swim up to the top of a 10'2" tall cup of coffee that he had dropped his cell phone in. he had been trying to find it for 2 hours. don't worry though it was decaf.
i mean come on, who couldn't watch it.
not that i want to start a fight, but i put it right up there with friends as the same level of comedy.
change of subject: finally got around to playing the bourne identity ps3 demo. yeah, i'm behind the times. wow did it still need some work. hopefully the full game plays better.
hey wow, i actually talked about video games in my blog. look at me go.
on 07.18.2008
i have some deserved time off coming up. it was originally time set aside for another trip, but things change. so.... i need to find something to do the majority of the last week in july. i wanted to goto vegas, but that might be a costly endeavor. [; I kinda want to go back to toronto, but that would be quite the drive for me. [not that i haven't done it twice already]
anyway, a great friend of mine told me that if you have to travel somewhere it is always best to be going for some reason. so i have been thinking and have decided to involve the fam in helping me come up with ideas. the first thing that popped into my mind was going to the mall of america. everyone else in my family has been there and i am such a mall person i feel like i'm missing out. yeah i'm silly. if you haven't figured that out yet, start reading.
but anyway, i want to have some other options so please help me come up with some ideas. what is going on around the midwest that week that would be fun to hit up. i want to get out and have some fun. hopefully get some drinking in and see what other kind of trouble i can get into. post your ideas and lets see what comes up.
Update: I live in lexington kentucky, i frequent ohio, and i'm not afraid to drive. hope that helps.
on 07.12.2008
long time no see.
first and foremost, my last post drove a like minded individual to create a dtoid account just to send me kind words. he sent it ages ago, so i am afraid that i missed my chance to talk with him. if anyone knows tpwellington tell him to check his message box.
next... it has been a long time and i'm luckily [for you] not as drunk as i was last time.
tonight was going to be a night for another rant. then i read the above mentioned message and my whole day turned around.
just wanted to give a little update. i no longer live with my ex. i have my own new apartment. but i just recently got the internet back so that is part of my absence. Things have been up and down lately. but the good news is, i am getting my love of games back. the pleasure i once lost is now back helping me through this rough patch.
i will be back soon with something news so keep an eye out.
and to answer a question for a fan:
on 02.20.2008
i'm not dead.........yet.
ooh, everything is so pretty and new. lots of neat additions. me likey. i was really just posting to say that i miss you guys, i am not dead.....yet [although 50 hour work weeks make me feel dead] and i want to attend a shitty movie night if they still happen.
well ta ta for now. and remember somebody loves you, but someone else loves you only for your body. [:

Everyday Shooter Advice
I bought everday shooter the day it dropped and have loved every minute of it. now i'm not saying i'm any sort of uber god at it, but i have a tip for those that might be struggling.
get the points to were you can buy the shuffle option for normal play. i found out tonight that by random chance if i start on the second level, i can rack up lots of lives because of the amount of points i can get. that followed up with the third level [a level many have said is really hard, which it is] really worked for me. instead of going into the 3rd level with only a few lives, i was able to go in with 7! granted when i got done, i only had 3, but without the advantage, i would have been able to get to the forth level finally.
does anyone else have any suggestions? that was the biggest help for me besides practice that really made things go alot smoother. granted this suggestion doesn't always work because sometimes you will start on the 3rd level, but you might find a mix that will allow you to go further than a straight run through. i've only gotten to the 4th stage, so i can't tell you how this plan carries over with other levels unlocked, but give it shot.

www.imgred.com : tip on linking to pictures without hotlinking
the jack thompson post was filled with image shack failure [the fault is imageshack, not its users]
something i was informed about should really help anyone who can't get a image to show up on forums or cblogs because of hot linking
check it out. all you have to do is put "http://imgred.com/" before the image link address. for example
bbcode example
instead of:
what that does is makes it so when ever anyone clicks on a page that has that code showing the piture, imgred servers view the picture, cache it on their servers, then continue to serve it from then on out. [well for a while, but from what i can tell, if the picture has been cleared from their cache, the link will refresh if the picture is still at the original address.] its free. sorry let me try that again
its free
and there is nothing more to it than putting a little extra in the address to the picture. hell it will even do thumbnails if you want to view something along that line instead. [check out their website for the explanation on that.]
so go ahead have fun, it will make the internet a little easier to manage when it comes to picture placement in blogs/forums.
enjoy! [:

Coding Therapy for Software Developers aka How Does This Code Make You Feel?
Steven Feuerstein, Oracle Corporation
We can't write software without our brains, and our brains come with a full
load of "issues." The way our brain remembers the past and projects into the
future has a big impact on how we write code. Moving beyond physiology,
human psychology also plays its role, making it difficult for us to
acknowledge ignorance and ask for help. Steven will offer an intensive
coding therapy session (including couples therapy, dream therapy, game
theory, and shock therapy) to help all attendees come to grips with their
innate, unavoidable "issues", making it easier to write better code -- and
help others on their team write better code.
Steven Feuerstein is an Architect at Oracle Corporation and one of the world's leading experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language, having written ten books on PL/SQL, including Oracle PL/SQL Programming and Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices (all published by O'Reilly Media). Steven has been developing software since 1980, spent five years with Oracle Corporation (1987-1992), and after 13 years as PL/SQL Evangelist for Quest Software (acquired by Dell in September 2012), he has recently returned to work for Oracle Corporation. Steven is an Oracle ACE Director and writes regularly for Oracle Magazine, which named him the PL/SQL Developer of the Year in both 2002 and 2006. He is also the first recipient of ODTUG's Lifetime Achievement Award (2009). In 2010, Steven started the PL/SQL Challenge, an online, daily PL/SQL quiz.

Creative Problem Solving (for Oracle Professionals)
Kerry Osborne, Accenture Enkitec Group
This presentation is about problem solving; how we think about problems and how we resolve them, specifically problems involving complex computer systems. I've worked closely with extremely intelligent people; however there seems to be little correlation between raw intelligence and the ability to quickly solve difficult problems. I've worked with lots of dedicated, hard working people as well, but this characteristic also does not always foretell success. Neither does having a stellar technical background with loads of experience. So why is it that some people seem to be gifted with seemingly super-natural problem solving skills? I have spent my career solving computer problems and working with relatively large numbers of people who do the same. While I don't have all of the answers, I do have some ideas that may be helpful for making you a better problem solver and a better judge of how others will perform when faced with difficult problems.
Kerry Osborne began working with the first public release of Oracle (version 2) in 1982. For the past several years, he has been focused on understanding Oracle internals and solving performance problems. He is an Oracle Ace Director and is a proud member of theOakTable network. He has also co-authored two books (Pro Oracle SQL and Expert Oracle Exadata).
Possibilities in Disruption
Jeffrey Needham, Fabrix Analytix
Big Data, or more accurately, New Data was born out of Yahoo!'s need to do PB-scale computing on a shoestring. Today, enterprises are accumulating a bewildering diversity of New Data. Once aggregated, the diversity will help them to find more, high quality needles in these haystacks. Over the next few years, most users will not be processing PB's of data until they have built big clusters. However, they will not be able to build big clusters with their old operational doctrines. In the new doctrine, everything begins and ends with a use case - Hadoop and Spark are not generic EDW infrastructure plays. Big Data technology is an evolutionary process born of scale and economics, but has already accumulated a lot of mythology. Enterprises now need considerable education to see if this technology makes sense for their use cases; and if they can achieve it with an IT organization that replaced engineering with "vendor drag and drop".
The goal of my book, Disruptive Possibilities, was to start a conversation; and this keynote is a continuation of that conversation.
Jeffrey Needham is the founder of Fabrix Analytix, a stealth startup focusing on dark computing platforms for commercial and agency use. His varied experience includes being the Federal Field CTO at Hortonworks, doing a lot of CONUS continuity platform work at Yahoo!, and history around Unix, hardware and Oracle kernel development. He is one of the original members of OakTable and the author of Disruptive Possibilities: How Big Data Changes Everything (O'Reilly, 2013).

Fillmore council to select new member to fill Gonzalez's seat
The Fillmore City Council will choose its newest member Tuesday from a field of three candidates: two newcomers to city politics and one Planning Commission member who ran unsuccessfully for the council in 2006.
Councilman Eduardo Gonzalez resigned last month, citing a health problem. At a meeting a week later, the council voted to appoint someone to serve the remaining 18 months of Gonzalez's term rather than call a special election to fill the seat.
Three people applied for the opening: Dante Diaz, an employee of the Ventura County Assessor's Office; Kendall Hancock, an electrician in Fillmore; and Diane McCall, who works for a property management company and serves on the Fillmore Planning Commission.
On Tuesday, the council will interview them and select one. The interviews and the vote will happen at a public session of the council at 6:30 p.m. at Fillmore City Hall, 250 Central Ave.
Diaz, 27, grew up in Fillmore and attended Fillmore High School. He works as a property assessor for the county and holds a bachelor's degree in financial services, which he said should help him deal with the city's budget deficits.
"I know that's where the city is hurting, with the budget and finance, and I think I could bring a new perspective," he said.
Hancock, 46, is an electrical contractor who moved to Fillmore last year.
"I love Fillmore," he said. "I love everything about the city, and I want to be more involved in the city, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity."
McCall, 47, has been a real estate agent and appraiser and now works for a property management company based in Ventura. She served a six-year stint on the city Planning Commission and was recently appointed to another term by Mayor Rick Neal. In 2006, she ran for City Council and finished fifth out of six candidates in a race with two open seats.
"I want to continue to go in the positive direction that we've already seen with the current council," she said. "The town means a lot to me, and I want to preserve the small-town character that we have."

I have also had dreams of rituals, but it probably is not best to share those since they are incredibly dark in nature. I have had a set of recurring dreams where I kept getting offered different substances to consume (about four dreams). The dreams would use different relationships previously in my life to gain my confidence to try these substances. One method finally worked with my previous military encounters and I ended up swallowing two pills. My dream changed settings where I was interviewed with a few other strangers for some sort of job. Reminds me of Alice swallowing substances to be able to enter another unknown realm.
In another dream I was a child in a classroom filled with people. The adult male standing in front of the classroom was saying, "any of you have any relation to a red flower, white flower, rosebud... Etc". Only after raising my arm, the male tilted his head and made robotic noises as if he were an android.
So in relation to your dream, I think you are being scanned as I am in my dreams. The rats are fleeing into waters for this unknown beautiful flower,but it is really trap set up by something else. A siren luring only the darkest filth for the benefit of a higher being.

Remember Me
Described by front man Robert Schneider as "retro-futuristic super-pop," the album is the official follow-up to 2007's New Magnetic Wonder, and the band's second studio release for Elijah Wood's Simian Records. The album will be released April 20 via Yep Roc/Simian/Elephant 6.
Travellers contains sixteen piano-driven tracks, bubbling over with vocoder harmonies and sci-fi sound effects, like 70's AM radio filtered through a UFO; including the robotic first single "Dance Floor," the four-on-the-floor dream-scape "Hey Elevator," the Hall and Oates-tinged "Told You Once," and the epic, yearning "Dream About The Future." The musical theme heard in these songs can be described as intense pop hooks and electronic sounds, mixed with a pumping, get-up-and-moonwalk beat.
"I wanted to make a futuristic pop record, to reach out to the kids of the future," Schneider relates. "It is what I imagine their more highly-evolved pop might sound like: shiny soul music with robots and humans singing together, yet informed by the music of our time. So we are sending a pop music message through time, hoping they will decode it and be into it."
It is the first studio album from The Apples In Stereo to feature new drummer John Dufilho, lead singer of Dallas indie rockers The Deathray Davies; and sees Bill Doss (Olivia Tremor Control, Elephant 6) and John Ferguson (Ulysses, Big Fresh), longtime Schneider collaborators, as full-time keyboardists in the band, alongside veteran members John Hill (guitar) and Eric Allen (bass). Original drummer Hilarie Sidney left the band in 2006.
Anyone familiar with The Apples In Stereo's career will know Schneider's ever-evolving production process is as intricate as the recordings he generates. Engaging the same primary engineering team used to record New Magnetic Wonder, most notably Bryce Goggin, as well as many studio-savvy friends and cohorts, the band spent well over a year in the studio recasting their signature pop sounds in chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channeling ELO, Barry Gibb, Wild Honey-era Beach Boys and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.

And disappeared with everything that you held dear,
But you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need,
Cause you knew you were finally free.
Cause all you see is where else you could be,
When you're at home.
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone.
And all you see is where else you could be,
When you're at home,
There on the street,
Are so many possibilities to not be alone"

Concurrently on view at Thinkspace are new works by Philadelphia based artist Yis Goodwin, aka Nosego, in Open Channels. A highly accomplished fine artist, illustrator, and street artist, Nosego's works are visionary. Simultaneously totemic and whimsical, the artist's imagery seamlessly combines the flippancy and play of humor with the suggestion of an imposing, even mythically ancient, source of animalistic power. Imaginatively beautiful and strangely grotesque, Nosego captures a myriad of conflicting...
The San Francisco streets as seen by Troy HoldenPhotography // Tuesday, July 15, 2014

Holden's style is graphic and balanced, with each composition wonderfully crafted around characters moving through their environment. These bold portraits are grounded in quiet moments where seemingly empty sidewalks hold only the subject, Troy, and his camera.

High Air Flow (HAF) Air FiltersSource: 3M Purification
3M™ HAF Air Filters may offer an ideal alternative in applications where regular filter replacement is difficult or impractical, but where low airflow resistance is important.
3M HAF Air Filters are available with an antimicrobial agent to help inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on the filter media. Users should be aware that mold and mildew may grow on captured particles that build up over time on the filter.
Performance notes
- UL 900, Class 1 flammability rating (US) for filter thickness = 20 mm
- UL 900, Class 2 flammability rating (US) for filter thickness > 20 mm and = 50 mm
- RoHS Directive compliant. The product does not contain any of the substances in excess of the maximum concentration values in EU Directive 2002/95/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2005/618/EC.
- Maximum operating temperature: 158°F (70°C)
- Cleaning: Filters should be replaced rather than cleaned. If filters are cleaned, vacuuming may restore initial air flow rates; however, other performance metrics may not be restored, depending upon the type of particles encountered in the application.
- 3M does not recommend washing HAF Air Filters, because washing them can negatively impact efficiency, arrestance, and dust holding capacity of filters, whether large particles are present in the environment or not.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands Tuesday 3 September 2013: Infections cause a lower proportion of lead extractions than expected, according to preliminary results from the ELECTRa Registry presented at ESC Congress 2013 today by Dr Maria Grazia Bongiorni from Italy.
The European Lead Extraction ConTRolled (ELECTRa) Registry is the first large prospective, multicentre, European controlled registry of consecutive patients undergoing transvenous lead extraction (TLE) procedures in European real world practice. It is carried out by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and managed by the ESC's EORP programme.1
Dr Bongiorni said: "The implantation rate of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) continues to rise in most countries in Europe and in the US.2-6 The number of leads per patient is increasing due to a higher proportion of dual versus single chamber devices and an increase in implantations."
She added: "Despite developments in technology and improvements in reliability, leads remain the weak point of CIED systems and in some cases may fail and require extraction. Extractions are also needed due to infections. In recent years, an increasing number of European centres have started performing TLE procedures7 and data is needed on appropriate indications, techniques, success rates, safety and follow-up."
The primary aims of the ELECTRa Registry are to evaluate the acute and long-term safety of TLE and quantify major procedure related complications (including death) in acute and long-term follow-up. It is anticipated that over 100 centres from 25 countries will join the programme. Each centre will enroll consecutive patients undergoing TLE from November 2012 to January 2014 and follow them for 1 year. The target for statistical analysis is at least 3,500 patients. At the end of July 1,200 patients were enrolled.
Preliminary results show that infections were the indication for lead extraction in 52% of

Red Velvet Pancakes
Approximately 12 pancakes
The classic Red Velvet Cake gets a makeover just in time for breakfast, topped with a dollop of cream cheese frosting and rich maple syrup.
- For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, white sugar and vanilla extract. Run the mixer on a low speed until the mixture begins to come together. Increase the speed to high and mix, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the cream cheese is smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, butter, food coloring and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, whisking just until combined.
Preheat a griddle or skillet over a medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with a spritz of nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan to form each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook until the sides begin to dry slightly and the pancakes puff up and bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and heat until cook through, about 3 minutes.
Serve hot with a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of good-quality maple syrup.

Jurors begin deliberating in Meza case
Jurors on Tuesday afternoon received the first-degree murder case of Mario Meza after lawyers finished closing arguments in the trial.
Meza, 61, testified last week that he shot and killed 27-year-old Alberto Lopez in Oxnard in 2003 after the man taunted and teased him about having sex with Meza's live-in girlfriend.
During closing arguments, Meza' s lawyer, Justin Tuttle with the Public Defender's Office, told jurors his client is guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Tuttle said Meza shot Lopez because he constantly tormented and taunted Meza about having had sex with his girlfriend.
"This is a classic, textbook case of voluntary manslaughter," Tuttle told jurors.
Jurors could also find Meza guilty of second-degree murder.
Tuttle said his client was continuously provoked by Lopez after he saw Lopez running from his house and then discovered Lopez had sex with his girlfriend.
Tuttle said Meza acted with "intense emotion" after the verbal abuse, shot Lopez, "freaked out" and fled to Mexico.
Tuttle said his stunned client took off to Mexico so fast that he left behind the gun, his wallet, passport, music CDs, jewelry, driver's license, keys and other personal belongings. Tuttle said the murder wasn't planned as the prosecution alleges.
Prosecutor Rebecca Day told jurors Meza took off and left behind personal items because he didn't need them. She said he wouldn't need a driver's license in Mexico because he didn't want to be identified, and he didn't want to get caught with a gun while fleeing.
"There were no witnesses to this crime because he knew there would be no witnesses," Day told jurors.
Meza testified he owned a home and rented a garage and building on his property that he converted into a "bunkhouse." He said 30 people paid $30 a week to stay on the North McKinley Avenue property in Oxnard.
Assistant County Medical Examiner Janice Frank testified last week that Lopez was shot five times, including three times in the back. Frank said Lopez died from gunshot wounds to the torso.
Meza was extradited in October 2008 from Mexico.

text: Description Suggest an Edit The Montour Trail follows a portion of the old Montour Railroad, which was built between 1877 and 1914 to link the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad with the region's many coal mines. Forming a semi-circle around Pittsburgh, the Montour Railroad also connected other railroads, including the Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh & West Virginia, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Union. The trail's surface is primarily crushed limestone; more information on its two short paved sections can be found below. Both the trail and the railroad are named for the creek that runs alongside; you'll follow the waterway for the trail's first 8 miles beginning in Coraopolis. Views will primarily be of leafy green neighborhoods sprinkled with wildflowers. A highlight of the trip includes the Enlow Tunnel in Findlay Township, which stretches 500 feet. Just south of the tunnel, the Airport Connector segment branches off from the main trail, using limited-access roads to reach Pittsburgh International Airport. On the outskirts of McDonald, the impressive McDonald Trestle spans more than 900 feet. Here the Montour Trail connects directly to the Panhandle Trail, which travels east to Collier Township and west to Weirton, West Virginia. Between McDonald and the small community of Southview, the trail offers beautiful rural landscapes. One of the newest segments of the trail splits off from the main route near Southview and heads southwest to Mount Pleasant Township. Known as the Westland Branch, the entire length of the trail parallels an active railroad line. In Peters Township, you'll find a paved section of the Montour Trail, known locally as the Arrowhead Trail. The township planted 500 trees along the 4-mile route, which opened in 1985. The trail passes among a wooded corridor in suburbia, linking neighborhoods with parks. Another two-mile paved section runs through Clairton. Here, at the trail's eastern end, a short on-road route leads to the Great Allegheny Passage, which spans 150 miles between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland. Improvements to the Montour Trail are constantly in the works, with interim on-road routes set to be replaced by new sections of trail on the former railroad corridor in the near future. Refer to the Montour Trail Council's official website for more information. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access Trailhead parking is available at either end of the trail (along Montour Coketown at the northern end of the trail and off N.

How To Choose An Electronic Device
Looking for an electronic device but cannot decide between a desktop or laptop, smart phones, TVs and tablets? Join the crowd. With dozens of different varieties and hundreds of products to choose from, the search for the ideal product that suits all your needs can be a bewildering task.
To make sure you choose the best possible product that caters to all your requirements, use the following guidelines to aid your search:
• Make a list: Jot down and make a list of what you want the product to do for you, where you will be using it and all the requirements have. Also add in any supplementary products that you feel you will be needing. For instance; when getting a laptop, write down what you will be needing it for - for e.g. browsing, emails, Skype and social media; whether it will be for personal or office use: and whether you require a fast machine or a sleek notebook that is easier to carry around. Then decide whether or not you will require any additional devices like an external hard drive, printer etc.
• Come up with a budget.
• Then look up products that suit your needs as according to your list and that fit within the prescribed budget and compare all the products within the range.
• Read consumer reviews to give you the best insight into how the device functions and understand any complications consumers might have faced.
• See it firsthand; it is best to go and check out some products such as laptops in order to gauge the features such as the screen resolution, weight and size etc.
• Once you have fully explored the product and decided on the best possible option, compare prices online and buy from the place that offers you the best possible value for money. Also make sure to ensure the product comes with a warrantee in case anything goes wrong. And then buy the final product you have shortlisted and enjoy it knowing that you've made a meticulously thought out decision!
