Chevrolet S-10
'94 S10 with 140k 4.3 auto with push button, (electronic) 4 wheel engagement. The lights on the button illuminate and the vehicle will go into lo range, but the front axle does not engage in either hi or lo. I see many suggestions to replace the actuator in other questions. Does the actuator have anything to do with the hi/lo range? A local dealership gave 3 possible culprits: electric shift motor (actuator?), Encoder assembly and or the front axle lock switch. New, these items total just under $1000. Is there a way to bench test these componants? Are there other componants that could be responsible? I just purchased it from a dealer so I have no history on it. Thanks for your time and help.

If the switch is working properly you should see all ranges light up when the key is turned and you stated the vehicle goes into 4x4 but the front axle wont lock in, as long as the transfer cse is shifting there are only two things it could be the front axle switch or the actuator located in the center lower of the cowl panel, as long a the front axle switch is getting vacuum you can rule that out and check the axle switch which is on the right side of the axle and has a two pin connector and cost 12 bucks, you can check it for an open, hope this helps

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - The Auburn coaches made it official: Kodi Burns and Chris Todd head into the offseason listed as the Tigers' co-No. 1 quarterbacks.
The Tigers released the post-spring depth chart Wednesday.
Brad Lester got the nod ahead of Ben Tate at tailback.
Like the quarterbacks, two other positions were listed as dead heats. Chris Evans and Merrill Johnson shared the top spot at linebacker and Aairon Savage and Walter McFadden were even at right cornerback.
The coaches had said earlier that the quarterback competition to replace Brandon Cox would continue into preseason practices.

I have a directory shared on my computer, which is part of the domain. Is it possible to set up the share so that a user logged on to a different machine which is not part of the domain can access my share? From the machine not on the domain, I can browse to the share, but it asks for credentials, and I just want to allow anonymous access.
To do what you want you'll have to enable the "Guest" account on the computer hosting the files and then grant the "Everyone" group whatever access you want.
"Guest" is a user account, but its enabled / disabled status is interpreted by the operating system as a boolean "Allow unauthenticated users to connect?" Permissions still control the access to files, but you open things up a LOT by enabling Guest.
Don't do this on a domain controller computer, BTW, because you'll be Guest on all DCs...
I had this problem with Windows Server 2012. After a lot of searching i found this page: No-password file share still requires login
For the lazy. - Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies - Security Options. Change "Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" to Enabled.
that fixed it for me when nothing else was working.
In my case, enabling the guest account and adding
After following the excellent guide posted by Nikola Radosavljevic, anonymous access finally worked in my scenario.
Summary of steps:
I solved this by mapping a network drive to the domain share then connect with different credentials using a local account. Didn't have to enable the guest account or allow anonymous access.
Enabling the Guest account is not recommended. Baz and djangofan are correct; you have to give the anonymous user permission to the share and the folder. (Security permissions in the sharing and folder tab, assuming you don't have a Home version of Windows.)
An interesting gotcha: Giving 'Everyone' access doesn't work, even though you'd think it would. In the permissions dialog in the sharing tab, you specifically have to include the anonymous user. On Windows 7, that's the local ANONYMOUS LOGON user.
In the security tab and share tab give anonymous the desired read/write access. Then anyone should be able to access the share.
On a side note that was nice and easy to post a comment for the first time. No complicated reg. process. cheers to the authors of this website.
I would try to toggle the "simple file sharing" setting in the Windows Explorer settings and see how that changes things. Then , on top of that, edit the permissions for your share to allow non-domain, non-authenticated users.
Do you really want to give unauthenticated access to files? If it's a small group of users, you could create local accounts for them on the machine, create a group, and give that group access to only that one folder. If it's a web server in a DMZ, maybe setting up a web front end would be better so you can better security than "Everyone has access to do whatever to these files".

If God made anything better than bourbon he must have kept it for Hisself.
You have to buy a Weller 12 - AND an OWA 107. I like OWA 107 better, but varying blends of those two (I personally like 60% OWA, 40% Weller 12) are honestly better than either by themselves, IMHO. I've tried different blends, and this is one of the few I've found where the result was really greater than the sum of its parts.

Frankly, I get my Weller 107 Antique shipped in from KY. There is a store with a selection of single barrel 107's that are outstanding. Did you know the Old Weller Antique 107 is the same mash bill as Pappy Van Winkle and same distillation? Makes you think. . .
Weller SR occassionally shows up on the shelves around here, but because it is considered a special order item, it is seriously overpriced!
As I mentioned in another thread, after carefully considering all the advice, I finally made my purchase. I decided to broaden my tasting scope and picked up a bottle Weller 12, Ritt 100 BIB and VOB 100. All of which I cannot find in Ohio.
It is difficult waiting for the UPS man to bring that box. Now my next dilemma...which to try first? I guess that is a good problem to have. Thanks again for the advice. I will post my thoughts in the Tasting section later.

Cheaper Than Dirt! at the Range: Tristar Arms S-120 9mm
In this economy, shooters are looking for a reliable, affordable pistol. One such pistol might be the $439 Canik 55 S-120—a full-size 9mm CZ-75 clone with a 4.7-inch barrel, a 17-round capacity, and a dry weight of 2.26 pounds. Long recognized for its quality shotguns at value prices, TriStar Sporting Arms, imports the Turkish-made S-120 line.
Cheaper Than Dirt! recently had a chance to shoot a loaner S-120 TriStar provided on a test-and-evaluation basis. Cheaper Than Dirt! currently does not carry this model, though we do list another Canik model imported by Century International Arms. For 2013, TriStar is importing several more Canik 9mm Luger and 40 S&W pistols for personal defense and target shooting. The Canik (widely pronounced cahn-EEK) pistols are available in blued, brushed chrome, or polymer finishes and come in a variety of series based on frame, length, and weight variations. All are double/single action semi-autos with snag-free rear sights mounted in dovetails and blade front sights pinned into the slide. Like other pistols in the line, the $439 S-120 comes packaged with a black hard case, an extra magazine, a safety lock, and a cleaning kit. TriStar offers all pistols with a one-year warranty.
The maker, Canik 55, is a division of Samsun Yurt Savunma, one of Turkey's biggest defense contractors. The company's logo is a small dolphin symbol. However, none of our test pistol's exterior or accouterments were branded with the dolphin logo. Cheaper Than Dirt! lists a TP-9 (imported by Century Arms) by the same maker that prominently displays the dolphin logo, though it's currently out of stock.
According to Tristar, the S-120, a CZ-75 clone, is the heavier version of the L-120 9mm, which weighs in at 1.75 pounds, or about a half-pound lighter than the S-120. The L-120 gets its weight savings by employing a steel-alloy frame. Our test pistol's frame is listed as steel as is the slide. A magnet did react to both parts of the gun.
Capacity is listed as 17 rounds, which when we counted, came out to be 16+1. The blued-steel Mec-Gar mags had plastic bumper pads to protect the bodies, which were staggered double-stack designs that narrowed to single-stack blue-plastic followers at the top. We found it difficult to fit more than 14 rounds into the magazine unless we used a plastic push-down loader to help. During our function, accuracy, and chronograph testing of about 300 rounds, we didn't have any malfunctions or stoppages of any sort, due, we believe, to the well-made magazines feeding into a ramped, fully supported chamber.
In operation, the S-120 works like a traditional DA/SA pistol with an exposed hammer. When you load the pistol and release the slide forward, the trigger moves all the way forward, a span of about 2.25 inches from the deepest part of the backstrap to the middle of the trigger face. Some smaller-handed shooters may have trouble getting a positive pull on the trigger as a result.
A light pull on the trigger moves it about a half-inch, then stops. Further pressure moves the trigger to its break weight of 5.8 pounds. The final part of the trigger stroke was reasonably crisp and predictable, in our opinion. When decocked, the trigger stays at the forward most position. There, the shooter can press it for a long DA pull of about 11.6 pounds, according to a Lyman digital trigger-pull gauge.
We chronographically and accuracy-tested three brands of ammo in the Canik. All-in-all, we fired 200 rounds apiece of 9mm Winchester USA 115-Grain FMJ Q4172 (50-round box, CTD #2-WNQ4172BX), Federal American Eagle 147-Grain FMJ Flat Points AE9FP (50-round box, CTD #9-15402), and Hornady Steel Match 125-Grain HAP Bullet 90275 (50-round box, CTD #2-H90275).
In our test gun, these selections generated smaller velocities than the manufacturer-supplied readings. The Hornady 90274 was rated at 1110 fps at the muzzle, and over a PACT chronograph with infrared screens, we saw 1019 fps. In a 4-inch test barrel, the rated muzzle velocity for the American Eagles was 960 fps; we got 878 fps. And for the Winchester USA 115-Grain FMJs, the factory muzzle velocity was 1190 fps, and our reading was 1048 fps.
Accuracy and points of impact were substantially different at 15 yards. The Winchester 115-grain FMJs were by far the most accurate and regulated to the sights. Best choice: the Winchesters shot an average 2.25-inch group size at that distance, and perhaps more important, the point of impact (POI) in the center of the target corresponded to a 6 o'clock hold.
The Canik's sights are black polymer, and we suppose the rear is drift-adjustable for windage in its dovetail, but we would be very careful pushing the plastic sight to avoid breaking it. The front sight is pinned, so replacement Meprolight front blades or sight sets, or other aftermarket blades could conceivably be inserted to change POI elevation for a favorite load. Three inserts on the sights are mildly and temporarily visible in low light as yellow-green dots.
In the hand, the CZ-75-inspired design is easy to understand and operate. The low-profile slide has a two-position thumb safety located on the left-hand side, with the Safe position being up, and covering a red dot on the slide. In this Safe position, the hammer is locked back as well as the action. With the safety lever down, the gun is set to Fire. We thought the lever operated smoothly and positively with an appropriate amount of thumb pressure up or down.
The lack of texture on the backstrap and the slick brushed-chrome finish allow the grip to move around if the shooter has wet or oily hands. The full-size, thick grip offers a suitable amount of purchase for a large hand, but shooters with smaller hands should hone in on how the grip feels and make sure they can reach the trigger at the double-action trigger position before buying.
The obvious appeal of Tristar Sporting Arms' S-120 9mm is value. For around $439, the shooter can buy a new full-size pistol with a reasonable trigger, plenty of capacity, and in our limited tests, perfect reliability. It would be easy to spend twice as much for comparable performance.

Drats! Mine has the "dolphin" logo (no offense to dolphins I just don't want one on my freaking gun anymore than I want flowers or the like).
That said, I agree with the review that this is a perfectly acceptable (debatebly preferred) substitute for the legendary CZ 75.
There are three foreign manufacturers of firearms (small-arms in general) of which quality/performance is ensured as I see it:
1) Eastern Europe (specifically Serbia[Zastava] and Bulgaria)–AK's from Russia of course before BHO nixed it
2) Turkey as I have several not good but very-good-to-great Hatsan shotguns and SAR and or Canik pistols
3) ChiCom before politics once again nixed it. Still can "legally" purcahse a few ChiCom super affordable/reliable/quality firearms such as their 870 Clone distributed via IAC still I believe
I own two cz75b I sold them both was happy quality control witch Cz putting out there lot machine mark in slide barrel get scratched up some how when used them both. The finish on both Cz75b was very durable prone be scratched off compare some other handgun out there more durable finishes. I want get Tristar S-120 in chrome hear finish better than what Cz75B blue finish is that quality Tristar S-120 slightly better than Cz75B for price point. I hope find out soon when own one.
For the person asking about tristar t -120 grips..i have a t-120 and bought a wrap around with finger grooves Hogue grip for a cz75 and it fit great. You will have to stretch it around to get the other side to " snap in place" but it fits nice and tight and uses same holes and screws
Patrick Perales
I have an L-120…replaced the grips with factory CZ rubber grip panels….had to enlarge the screw hole about .5mm towards the trigger…and it fit perfectly. I have also heard VZ grips fit with mods…
hey guys & gals – I am thinking seriously about the T- 120 Tristar for Christmas but would like to put better / different grips on it nobody makes a Tristar T-120 grip other than the factory model OEM grips that come on the gun ! Hogue says that The Babay Desert Eagle grips will not Fit as the Screw holes are in the wrong spot ! The Full size CZ-75 Grips May work says Hogue but May need to be modified slightly maybe and that would void hoguess warranty ! Anyone Bought a T-120 and swapped out the grips ? what did you swap them out to and what did your new grips cost ? thanks y'all
I actually own the T-120 which is identical to the other models but is has a tactical rail on it. I only paid $350 for mine at a gun show *yes it was brand new* Remarkable price for this handgun. Love the SA trigger, the DA is slightly heavy, but I'm sure it will brake in with time. Have only fired 50 rounds through it so fare, but did not experience one malfunction. Just to let you know if you have the slide back and load a loaded mag in, slide will close automatically without have to even touch the slide release. I don't mind this since I'm left handed. This series guns also accept CZ-75 mags.
Nice gun. I like my Bersa Thunder 9 better though. Maybe I'll see that written upon here one day?
I would very much love to have this apparent gem (always regretted not purchasing a CZ-75 but I have a few hi-cap 9mm's and I could never really justify another). Because I have several Turkish made guns now including a Regent 1911, SAR K2 and Hatsan Escort shotgun, I have no doubt that the Canik 55 S-120 would likewise be a great hi-quality affordable firearm.
Completely agree with the comment concerning the empirical high-quality (in particular for the price-points) of Turkish small-arms. I too have the Hatsan Escort, Regent, Canik S-120, SAR K2 etc.. Consequently, when I see the Turkish firearms priced to move I will consider them just as I wood a S&W, Ruger, Colt etc..
And for now at least, Turkey is one of only a few countries in that Region that is "stable" relatively speaking (member of NATO as well) so I know it's CNC factories are not being shelled or the like…Israel is another Country I would consider when I' in the market (would love to find a nice Jericho pistol)…Look at the success of their Tavor developed in-house and ultimately replacing the longstanding AR's/M-16 which for so long was the standard issued Rifle for the IDF…
This looks like the twin of my EAA Witness (made in Italy). Is this true?????

Nature Study I Didn't Want To Have Today
My husband's alarm went off at about 5 in the morning as he had an early interview in the City today. I was so tired that I had no problem going right back to sleep.
I then began having a dream, I thought, with a fluttering and flapping sound. The sound got louder and louder. I found myself starting to wake up. As I lay in bed with my eyes closed telling myself "go back to sleep, go back to sleep", I could detect that the sound was not a fluttering but actually was a flapping. And it was farther away then coming at me then tapering down again, turning around then coming back across my bed.
I opened my eyes and indeed something was flying back and forth directly over my bed!
The first thing I thought was, "Great, I let the Chimney Swifts live in the chimneys and now they have fledged and are flying around INSIDE the house which crosses the line!"
I looked at the ceiling fan and determined quickly that the sound was not the whir of the moving ceiling fan. I have poor eyesight and didn't have my glasses on. I could see a black blur flying back and forth over my head.
I then imagined what might happen if the creature flew INTO the moving ceiling fan blades and cringed at the thought of that.
I ducked under the covers, with flashes of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" going through my head.
As I listened to the sound I realized it was a bat not a bird, as it definately was a flapping sound.
I decided to turn on the light (as it was still pretty dark in the room). I also knew this may scare off the bat or at least make it perch someplace. I then jumped up and shut off the ceiling fan. My eyes were so sensitive to the light that by the time they could handle taking a good look around, with eyeglasses in place, the bat was long gone (and the sound was gone, too).
I could not run to get my husband to come to the rescue as I heard him in the shower. When the coast was clear, and after he was done with his shower, I emerged and gave him the news. He had no time in his schedule for stalking bats in the darkened house. So he got ready to go and left me there.
So that is how I started my day.
Another Bat Experience
I was not too freaked out about this as one time about four years ago I went to Maine to with just my children, to visit my grandmother. On our first night, we were all snuggled in the King sized bed and I was reading aloud from a picture book that my grandmother bought for them to have when they are there, so every night for many years I had to read the darned book in its entirety (Burt Dow, Deep Water Man by Robert McCloskey, which is a fun read but very long for an exhausted mother to read at the end of the day.) Anyway I was reading that book and my older son (then about 4 years old) said, "Mama, there is a bat flying around here." I said, "No, it must just be a deer fly, they are pretty big." Then he said again, "No, it is a bat Mama!" and just then it swooped about six inches above the book I was reading. My older son screamed. At this, the bat perched on the side of the chimney. I didn't know what to do! So I grabbed the waste basket and slammed it down, to trap it to the side of the chimney. I then directed my older son to grab a magazine that was lying nearby. I shimmied that underneath and trapped the bat inside. I then had my son open the doors for me while I made my way downstairs and outside. I put the wastebasket down on the ground and went back inside (leaving it there overnight). This left an impression on my older son, not a good one.
More Detective Work Today
So anyway this morning I was wondering where the bat was flying now and I wondered what other rooms it was swooping around in. After doing some reading in bed with the light on, and with no reappearance of the bat, I went back to sleep.
When the kids woke up and woke me up, we went on a hunt around the house for the bat, looking at the ceilings and walls for a perched bat. We didn't find one. But we did find that we had left one of the fireplace flues open. (Wonderful for nearly two months we've had the air conditioning on with a flue open!) So we closed the flue.
I wonder if the bat is still in the house or if it is out. We will see if it wakes us up tonight. This time I am glad that my husband will be here all night, and he has no reason to get up early and he can be here to deal with the situation. His idea so far involves swatting it with a broom. I envision using the children's large insect nets to snag it and release it outdoors. You can see that we have different approaches to dealing with things.
That was a little nature encounter that I didn't want to have today.

Funny, just this Monday we went to the library for a Bat Show. The Bat Lady, says the best thing to do in a case like that is to Open A Window,Leave the Room, Close The Door. The bat doesn't want to stay and 99% of the time will leave the room through the open window. I hope you locate the little breastfeeding mammal. Bats are our friends...but when you see them flying in your room at 5:00 am it must be pretty freaky!

Thanks for the advice.
As of last night my husband was suspecting the whole thing was a figment of my imagination.
Then we were getting ready for bed. I was in the bathroom with the door shut and the bat came and swooped down on my husband and two kids while they were playing a game. It came within 6 inches of them and freaked the kids out.
It then quickly left the room.
We did a little house hunt and couldn't find it flying around anywhere (or hanging anywhere).
We planned to trap it into our bedroom when it flew back in. When it did come back it flew right for me at about 4 feet off the ground. In order for me to go shut the door I would have had to walk right into it. So I refused. It flew back out. It didn't return.
I will try that advice tonight if it comes back in. Our challenge is finding it flying and it has to be in a room with doors at the time, doors that we can get to in time. The bat flies very quickly and it really has a wide wing span!
The window way seems better than bashing it with a broom or catching it with an insect net! We will do it!

Update: The bat didn't come out last night (at least while we were awake). It either found its way out or it has died. I'll keep you updated. I guess if we start smelling something foul we've found the decomposing body. Blech.
My husband thinks it died of starvation becuase he says bats eat their equivalent in body weight in insects every night, so deprived of that he may be dead.

This method of bat removal has worked for me:
First, turn off all the lights where the bat is. The bat will fly toward any light that is on (oddly), even flying out of a room to do so. If the bat is downstairs and you have outside porch lights, for example, turn them on while turning off the lights in the house and open the front door. In my experience the bat flies out, towards the light.
Don't know how this can be adapted to upstairs bats but it's one idea, anyway!

Ann E Walts, Trista K Leong, Alberto M Marchevsky. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Background: The American Joint Commission on Cancer Staging Manual (AJCC 7th ed) recommends that separate tumor nodules in the contralateral lung without distant metastases be staged pM1a (anatomic stage/prognostic group IV; pStage IV). Criteria to distinguish synchronous primaries from intrapulmonary metastases are not provided by AJCC. We sought to test the clinical validity of this recommendation in patients who underwent resection of synchronous bilateral pulmonary adenocarcinomas (PAC).
Design: Data from our hospital Cancer Registry were used to evaluate 5-year overall survival (OS), 5-year disease free survival (DFS) and median disease free survival (MDFS) in 18 consecutive pM1a patients who underwent resection of synchronous (defined as within 6 mos) bilateral PAC at our hospital. Patients with malignant pleural or pericardial effusions and/or distant metastases were excluded. Results were compared with those in a cohort of 573 consecutive patients (201 pStage I, 64 pStage II, 17 pStage III, 291 pStage IV) who underwent resection of PAC at our hospital during the same time period.
Results: The 18 pM1a patients (10 females, 8 males) ranged from 57 to 83 years in age (median 69.5 yrs) at operation. Their PACs ranged from 0.2 to 5.0 cm in diameter (median 1.3 cm). 17 (94.4%) of these 18 patients had invasive PAC; 1 had minimally invasive PAC. Only 5 (27.8%) patients received chemo- and/or radiation therapy; the remaining 13 received neither. The 5-year OS, 5-year DFS, and MDFS for the 18 pM1a patients were 64.5%, 94.4%, and 646 days, respectively. The 5-year OS, 5-year DFS, and MDFS for the 291 pStage IV patients in the registry cohort were 13.0%, 2.7%, and 0 days, respectively. When compared to results in pStages I-IV of the registry cohort, results in the pM1a study group best approximated those in the pStage I group (5-year OS, 5-year DFS, and MDFS were 69.0%, 27.5%, and 488 days, respectively).
Conclusions: In our patient population, synchronous bilateral pM1a PAC should not be staged as pStage IV in the absence of malignant effusion. Survival statistics for these pM1a patients were far superior to those for pStage IV and appear similar to those for patients with pStage I PAC. Our findings suggest that these pM1a lesions represent synchronous primary lung cancers. There is a need for future AJCC guidelines to include criteria that enable reliable distinction between multiple synchronous primary PACs and intrapulmonary metastases.

Your use of the information or advice given in this howto is solely at your own risk and responsibility. We will not be liable for any losses or damages (like loss of data). We cannot guarantee the instructions will work flawlessly, will be error-free or not cause any problems to your operating system. I'd recommend you make a backup before proceeding, and you should make regular backups in general anyway. For full OS backups (including all data on it), consider looking at Clonezilla. By proceeding, you are indicating that you fully understand the risks in doing so.
Windows users can easily run PHP-GTK applications because binaries are available for Windows users - the most recent official binary available on the PHP-GTK website is, as of writing, 2.0.1. You can download an unofficial, more up-to-date Windows binary compiled by a user often contributing to the project "auroraesrose" here. All you need to do is unzip and run. It's as simple as that. You can right-click on any PHP-GTK file and then execute it with the PHP executable from the unzipped folder.
Installing PHP-GTK on Ubuntu is not as easy as it should be primarily because certain packages need to be installed beforehand and a few other things - but it's relatively easy. If you know how to use a Terminal window, you'll be on your way.
There's a few things we need to install beforehand:
- subversion (for downloading the Cairo extension using svn)
- git-core (for downloading PHP-GTK using git)
- php5-dev: This is for compiling additional modules. You won't be able to install PHP-GTK without having php5-dev installed.
- libglade2-dev: See more about Glade here. Note: No need to install libglade2-0, you should already have this installed on your system. Libglade2-0 is to load external .glade files into your applications. For more information about the Glade IDE, see the link above.
- pecl-cairo: Read more about Cairo here.
Apart from that, we have to concatenate a few files back otherwise we'll also run into problems while trying to execute the ./buildconf and ./configure commands prior to installing PHP-GTK.
I do want to point out that on the PHP-GTK website it states the latest PHP-GTK source is available on the SVN server, but the latest source is available via git - which is why we need to have git installed so we can download the php-gtk source over git.
Common errors occurring with PHP-GTK installation.
If you simply download PHP-GTK (either the latest via SVN or downloading the source via the PHP-GTK website) without installing the necessary dependencies above, when executing ./buildconf, you'll come across this error: configure: error: PHP-GTK 2.x requires GLib 2.6.0 or higher.
Let's get started.
1. Install the dependencies.
2. Download pecl-cairo.Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion php5-cli php5-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev git-core
(What is phpize?)Code:svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/cairo/trunk pecl-cairo cd pecl-cairo phpize ./configure make sudo make install
The newer libtool.m4 has been split into different files. To be able to compile the PHP-GTK source prior to install (i.e. 'make' and 'sudo make install'), you'll need to concatenate these files back into the libtool.
Note: This may only apply to Ubuntu. If you have another (non-Ubuntu derivative) Linux distribution installed, or you have Ubuntu but you compiled and installed PHP yourself, try skipping step 3 below and go right ahead to compiling and installing PHP-GTK and see if it works. If not, come back and complete step 3.
3. Concatenate the files back into the libtool.
Note: "cd ~/" changes the directory back to the home directory (~/) - if you try and fetch the php-gtk source below in /usr/share/aclocal you'll be given a "Permission Denied" error.Code:cd /usr/share/aclocal sudo cp libtool.m4 libtool.m4~backup sudo chmod 777 libtool.m4 sudo cat lt~obsolete.m4 ltoptions.m4 ltsugar.m4 ltversion.m4 >>libtool.m4 sudo chmod 644 libtool.m4 cd ~/
Now let's go ahead and download PHP-GTK. Download the latest source from git (very latest is via git, not svn, unlike what the outdated PHP-GTK Downloads page says). An issue that was later rectified in PHP-GTK which would otherwise cause error: duplicate static to be returned when running the make command prior to installing PHP-GTK - hence we need to download the latest PHP-GTK source from git.
4. Download and install PHP-GTK.
For your information - You can find where the PHP-GTK and Cairo extensions are installed by executing php-config and looking at the extensions_dir line.Code:git clone git://github.com/php/php-gtk-src.git ./buildconf ./configure make sudo make install
PHP-GTK will now be installed at this point. All you have to do now is find where your php-cli php.ini configuration file is and add the extensions to the Dynamic Extensions section of the PHP configuration file (which is above the Module Settings section) so when you execute PHP-GTK applications via the Terminal the extensions can be found.
You can find where the php.ini file is by searching for it via the File Manager on your Linux distribution, just check which php.ini corresponds to the php-cli folder. It may, however, be located in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. You can edit the file using gedit or vim, using:
5. Add the PHP-GTK and Cairo Extension to "Dynamic Extensions".Code:sudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Once done, save the file, quit gedit or :q to exit vim (or :wq if you're in the file at the time to save the changes and quit vim). Now you can execute a PHP-GTK test application to see if everything works.Code:extension=php_gtk2.so extension=cairo.so
Make sure you're in the directory where the PHP-GTK source is located. This is likely in the home directory, so in this case change directory to there:
6. Execute the PHP-GTK demo application.Code:cd ~/php-gtk
You can also create your own test PHP-GTK application and execute it the same way - a .php extension for your PHP-GTK application will do fine.Code:php demos/phpgtk2-demo.php
In this very basic PHP-GTK application, only a simple PHP-GTK window will be displayed as shown below. The $window->connect_simple() method is to tell PHP-GTK we want to quit the entire application when the window is closed - because when a window is closed, the destroy signal is fired. The main_quit() method which is a part of the Gtk class quits the application by terminating the main loop (Gtk::main() being the main loop) that keeps the application active.PHP Code:
$window = new GtkWindow();
$window->set_title('My first application!');
$window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk', 'main_quit'));

The Wall Street Journal is yet again providing Microhoogle scoops this morning. First up, Yahoo may announce a deal with Google to run its search ads. A few weeks ago, we learned that the tests of those ads were successful. And though the Justice Department is concerned about the partnership, the agreement will likely be nonexclusive, which should alleviate regulators' fears.
But regulators are not the only ones with fears that Yahoo needs to alleviate. Wall Street and shareholders have been waiting with baited breath to see if Microsoft and Yahoo could reach an agreement on price for the proposed acquisition. But the two remain divided on the value of Yahoo, and Microsoft is expected to make an announcement about whether it will pursue a hostile takeover of Yahoo or walk away from its unsolicited bid.
Even if Microsoft announces a hostile takeover, the Yahoo-Google deal could still go through. The agreement will likely use Right Media's ad exchange which employs a real-time auction system. Yahoo acquired Right Media last year. At least one analyst, Citigroup's Mark Mahaney, has the deal as bringing Yahoo an additional $1 billion a year in revenue. Mahaney previously predicted that Microsoft would increase it's offer to $34 per share based on Yahoo's revenue projections for the next three years. Earlier this week, Microsoft indicated it would offer $32-33, while Yahoo wants upwards of $35-37. The original offer is for $31 per share.

Life In Karachi
Karachi is not
just a city. It is a unique city in many ways. To begin with, it is a metropolis
in the strict sense of the word, characterized by an accelerating rate of
suburban growth. Its rate of growth has been phenomenal, particularly since the
emergence of Pakistan. From a medium-size city of less than 500,000 population
in 1947 it grew to well over five million in 1981 and, according to most
conservative estimates, has now exceeded 6.5 million mark. With increase in
population there has been simultaneous increase in its a real extent, as
indicated by the figures - 233 sq. Ian. in 1947 to 1300 sq. Km. in
Like any other major
metropolitan center, Karachi is inhabited by a wide variety of communities
belonging to different religious and linguistic groups drawn from different
parts of Pakistan. Aside from Urdu-speaking n-migrants (Muhajirs) who still form
the biggest ethnic group, there are considerable number of people from N.W.F.P,
Kashmir, Punjab, Baluchistan, and of course from different parts of Sind of
which it is the capital city. In this way Karachi like other leading cities of
the. world has developed into a National Metropolis. No wonder, it is often
described as miniature Pakistan, which is really is, just as Bombay is
mini-India, London is mini-England, and Paris is mini-France.
Related with multi-ethnic character of Karachi's population
is the appalling rate of massive in-migration of people from different parts of
Pakistan, especially, the two northern provinces. it has been estimated that
each year a new city of about 300,000 population is added to Karachi, through
the process of massive inflow of people from different parts of Pakistan. As a
consequence the city suffers from a chronic shortage of dwelling units, water
supply, public transport, and civic amenities such as schools, hospitals , parks
and playgrounds, etc. Over and above, is the shortage of jobs in both public and
private sectors.
The shortage of dwelling
units, a consequence of massive immigration, has been largely responsible for
the emergence of squatter settlements or Katchi Abadis. The number of Katchi
Abadis in the city increased from 51 in 1948 to 212 in 1959, 362 in 1978 and-438
in 1987. About 2.3 million people or one-third of the total population resides
in these Katchi Abadis of Karachi. At this rate, it is quite likely that by the
year 2000 A.D. not less than half of the total population of Karachi would be
living in Katchi Abadis.
The city is confronted with
yet another serious problem related with the existing intra-city transportation
system, which is under heavy strain. The chief contributing factor is the
explosive growth of its population due mainly to massive migration.. Added to
this is the ever-increasing number of people who visit the city daily ,on a
business trip on a social call.
Their number too runs into
thousands or more. These people also use city's already overburdened transport.
The problem has been aggravated due to apathy of the local/provincial
administration and their refusal to deal with the problem in a big way. The
reason given is the non-availability of funds. As a consequence, a city like
Karachi with its seven million population is probably the only city in the world
which has no fly overs, no mass-transit system, and the like. The city is faced
with time-barred system of traffic regulation and most hackneyed and
uncomfortable mode of public transport viz., buses, mini-buses, pick-ups and
motor rickshaws.
As far as land use control
is concerned Karachi presents a scene of utter chaos and confusion that borders
on near anarchy. The d regulations agencies that matter have no doubt framed
rules an to control land use in the city. However, in actual practice, these are
observed largely in the form of violations rather than compliance. This is true
in the case of heights of buildings as well as senseless proliferation of petty
shops and stores dealing mainly in routine tertiary goods and services. The
condition has worsened to the extent that one finds it very difficult to walk on
side walks in almost all ma or shopping center of the city.
Along with these depressing
aspects of Karachi's historic growth, the city nevertheless presents an
impressive look of a growing metropolis with ever-increasing number of high-rise
structures, shopping plazas, luxury hotels and a phenomenal increase in
motorized transport especially private cars, pick-ups, motor-rickshaws and motor
As a National Metropolis
Karachi should continue to grow, not as a city of Katchi Abadis, choked streets,
and push-carts but a city where people would love to live, and of which they
feel proud.

From midnight sun trout fishing on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau to crystal clear lakes and rivers at Hemsedal, even fishing in the wilderness 20 minutes from the capital of Oslo, Norway has a lot to offer the avid freshwater fishing enthusiast:
The Finnmarksvidda Mountain Plateau in Northern Norway is every Norwegian fisherman's hot dream. The magical midnight sun gives you 24 hours daylight in during summer. The area is especially known for trout, common whitefish, grayling, perch and pike. Finnmarksvidda Mountain Plateau's surrounding areas of the Pasvikdalen Valley, the Stabbursdalen Valley and the Øvre Anarjóhka National Park, are neighbouring areas with the same qualities.
Hardangervidda Mountain Plateau is a wild and energy boosting area, and one of the very best highland areas in Europe for Trout fishing. The Hardangervidda Mountain Plateau is also home to Northern Europe's largest stock of reindeer. Stay at a cabin, or put up your tent almost anywhere.
Hemsedal rivers and lakes are crystal clear and hold wild brown trout in their prime. The Hemsila River is actually one of the best brown trout rivers in the whole of Europe. Some of Norway's very best fly fishers offer courses here. Hemsedal has a common fishing license valid for 4 rivers and 18 lakes.
About 145,000 salmon are caught in Norwegian rivers every year. Get lucky and travel back home with salmons weighing over 20 kilos. The two best salmon rivers in Norway in 2009 where Tana in Finnmark and Gaula in Trøndelag. Find more info and other salmon rivers.
Gjøvik, Land and Toten gives you two of Norway's largest lakes, Mjøsa and Randsfjorden, as well as a number of lakes and ponds teeming with fish, mostly trout, pike and perch. Gjøvik, Land and Toten is located only 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from Oslo.
The Glomma River is over 600 kilometres long, which makes it the longest river in Norway, stretching from Røros in the north to Fredrikstad in the south. Among the good rivers for freshwater fish, this is one of the very best. You can find good fishing spots in Villmarksriket Hedmark and in Østfold.
The Dividalen National Park in Troms gives you the dramatic nature of Northern Norway on a silver plate. Get ready for the wilderness. Besides excellent fishing, this area along the Swedish border houses wolves, bears, wolverines and lynx.
The easily accessible forest surrounding Oslo makes the Norwegian capital unique. You can get on a tram in the city centre, and enter the wilderness of the Oslomarka Forest in around 20 minutes. There are about 500 large and small lakes in the forests around Oslo. Fishing is good in many of these, and there are several cabins where you can choose to spend a night or a week.
The Villmarksriket Hedmark Area has over 2,000 lakes and rivers where you can realise your dreams of the wilderness fishing holiday. There are 22 species of fish waiting for you. The Femundsmarka Forest, the Mjøsa Lake and the Trysilevla River are among the popular places to fish in the Villmarksriket Hedmark. Villmarksriket Hedmark area is especially good for trout, perch, grayling, common whitefish and pike.
Børgefjell National Park is home to Norway's most endangered species: the Arctic Fox and the Snowy Owl. You can rent a cabin and stay for a while, waiting for the big catch. Børgefjell National Park is the second oldest and one of the best known national parks in Norway. It is located in Nordland and Nord-Trøndelag counties , close to the Swedish border.

|Evaluation of novel technique for studying ureteral function in vivo.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17263618 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Knowledge of the ureteral response to instrumentation is limited. Ureterodynamic parameters such as intraureteral pressure, conduction velocity, direction of peristalsis, and electromyography have been measured using a variety of methods; however, these techniques are impractical for routine clinical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new commercial ureteral pressure transducer catheter, which records peristaltic frequency, conduction velocity, and intraureteral pressure. This device was assessed in an animal model and in patients who had undergone ureteroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An ambulatory urodynamic monitoring system was adapted to record the output from two pressure transducers mounted on a 4F ureteral catheter, which was inserted into the left ureters of six anesthetized pigs to record peristalsis. In six patients who had undergone ureteroscopy with or without stone removal, the recording catheter was inserted at the end of the procedure, and recovery of peristalsis was monitored for as long as 24 hours. RESULTS: The un-instrumented pig ureter showed spontaneous peristalsis immediately on catheter insertion, whereas the instrumented human ureter displayed a variable response that appeared to be related to previous physical or pharmacologic effects. CONCLUSIONS: Peristaltic frequency, pressure, and conduction velocity can be measured with the ureteral catheter described in both the experimental and clinical settings. Within the first 24 hours after ureteroscopy, peristaltic recovery is variable. Such information may enable both elucidation of the underlying mechanisms and improvement in the treatment of a variety of upper urinary-tract disorders.

Join the Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults, the Mississippi Deaf-Blind Project located at The University of Southern Mississippi, and participating Chili's Grill and Bar locations in raising awareness about deaf-blindness and the people who live with a combined vision and hearing loss.
The awareness effort, held in conjunction with Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week, is designed to change the assumption that Helen Keller is the only recognizable person who is deaf-blind and show the diversity, accomplishments, and potential of today's deaf-blind community.
To support this effort, Chili's Grill and Bar in Hattiesburg is sponsoring a "Give Back to the Community" night with 10% of the proceeds going to the Mississippi Deaf-Blind Project. Eat at Chili's on Tuesday, June 23 from 4 p.m. to closing and present your server with the printable flyer, available at www.usm.edu/msdb/index.htm, and 10 percent of your total bill will be donated to help provide support for persons in Mississippi who are deaf-blind.
The term "deaf-blind" encompasses many variations of combined hearing and vision loss which affects more than million people in the United States. The Mississippi Deaf-Blind Project provides training and assistance to families, administrators, educators, and service providers of children ages birth to 22 who have both a hearing and vision impairment. Services are offered at no cost to families, educators, administrators, and service providers of these children.
If you suspect a child has both hearing and vision impairments, contact the Mississippi Deaf-Blind Project for further information and referral.

After school board members heard proposals Tuesday to trim kindergarten from full to half days, close the high school swimming pool, trim or eliminate programs and find new revenues by charging activity fees for sports and after-school programs, it came down to that key question.
Northeastern School District officials are seeking the least painful way to erase an expected $2 million deficit in the district's draft $57.8 million budget for 2013-14, and administration presented a plan to deliver a balanced budget without raising property taxes above the 0.55 mill limit.
Asst. Supt. Shawn Minnich, who will become the superintendent July 1, urged board members to think about what they want the district to look like in three or four years.
"The economy is cyclical, it will come back," he said.
Officials also reminded the board that rejecting any of the proposed cuts means the district must look elsewhere for cost savings. Drawing on the $1.9 million fund balance doesn't seem to be an option, since the district's fund balance is already below state recommended levels, said Brian Geller, director of operations.
But board members didn't find any of it easy to swallow.
"Almost everything we've done to move the district forward, we're undoing," said President Margie Walker.
Board member Linda Morningstar said that of all the proposals, reducing kindergarten to half days is "probably the most painful thing to me.
"I feel very strongly that we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we go back to half-day kindergarten," she said.
Minnich said recent studies have shown that kindergartners who attend full days outperform students who went through half-day programs, a point echoed by several kindergarten teachers in attendance.
Board member Kevin Gebhart said he agreed that kindergarten is "very valid" but said that districts are not required to provide it.
"What can we eliminate? What we're not required to provide," he said.
On the proposal to close the high school pool, officials noted it would not eliminate all water-based activities such as the swimming and diving teams. But it would mean paying for the use of another pool and transporting students to and from an offsite facility, said board member Vanessa Snell.
Increasing the cost of participating in sports and after-school activities would push more costs onto parents who would be paying participation fees and ticket prices, buying snack bar food and supporting booster-club fundraising, Walker said.
At least one board member, Chris Neiman, seemed to favor the idea of asking the state for exceptions that would allow taxes to be raised above the Act 1 limit, as an alternative to the cuts.
Often, discussions ranged into ideas for reigning in future costs. Officials said that proposals such as closing Mount Wolf Elementary or the administration building in Manchester are long-term ideas that have nothing to do with the current budget deficit. Geller said that Mount Wolf would remain open for the coming school year.
Ideas for raising revenues
Northeastern school officials are considering numerous ideas for raising revenues, including:
Proposed cuts
Proposed expense cuts include:
What's next
Northeastern's finance committee will continue the budget talks 7 p.m. Monday in the administration building, 41 Harding St., Manchester.

The King of Pop has a new queen! Michael Jackson has secretly married his children's nanny, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively. Although the performer's publicist denies Jacko has taken a bride, The ENQUIRER has obtained a real estate document that shows he is married.
When Michael applied for a loan regarding a home that he owns on Lindley Avenue in the Los Angeles area in June, he listed himself as a "married man" on the documents.
Michael wed nanny Grace Rwaramba, 40, earlier this year in Las Vegas, according to an insider close to the couple.
"Grace is not only the caretaker of his children, but one of his dearest friends," said the insider.
Another source revealed that 49-year-old Michael married Grace to protect himself and his children — Prince, 10, Paris, 9, and Blanket, 5 — because he believes it will help convince people that the kids are being raised in a stable family environment.
"Grace was happy to go along with it," claimed the source. "She's always been devoted to Michael and has raised the kids since the day they were born.
"Michael knew she'd make a perfect stepmother."

Warner Bros.' decision to put "Jersey Boys" in a turnaround gives director Jon Favreau and producer Graham King the opportunity to shop the film to other studios, and it's just the latest example of Hollywood studios putting the bottom line on top of all other priorities. Time and time again over the last few years, major films have been put on ice because of growing budgets and financial risk.
"The bigger the budget, the cleaner the concept needs to be," Adam Fogelson, chairman of Universal Pictures, said to The New Yorker earlier this year. "Because you need to appeal not just to all four quadrants, but to people who speak every language under the sun. So ambiguity and darkness are tough."
Echoed Ron Meyer, Universal's president: "We looked at the economics of ['At the Mountains of Madness' and 'Dark Tower,' two projects killed by the studio] and it just didn't make sense for us, for what we would have to put out for what we could make back. It didn't feel secure enough for us, and that's the reason we didn't do it."
Ahead, 12 films that Hollywood has canceled (or is close to canceling) because of economics.
Warner Bros. put the film adaption of "Jersey Boys" into turnaround, meaning director Jon Favreau is free to shop the project to other studios. The problem? As cited by Variety, there isn't a big international audience for a musical adaptation about a 1960s rock band from New Jersey. Will another studio step in to make this one ... sing? (Groan.)
Originally set up at Universal, "The Dark Tower" -- Ron Howard's sprawling and ambitious adaptation of Stephen King's famed epic -- couldn't find a home at Warner Bros. either. The studio passed on the project earlier this year. Now, independent film production company Media Rights Capital may fund "Dark Tower," but no deal is currently in place.
Will "Ghostbusters 3" ever happen? There were rumors that Sony would starting filming the long, long, long gestating sequel in the summer of 2013, but that start date was released shifted to fall 2013 at the earliest. In fact, the studio may decide not to go ahead with the project at all.
Vince Vaughn was going to produce this YA adaption, which does for faerys what "Twilight" did for vampires. It wasn't to be, unfortunately: Universal clipped the wings of "Wicked Lovely" before it took off.
Announced with bravado in April of 2011, it looks like "Terminator 5" has been set to the glue factory. "They have been trying to put a script together but I've not seen it," Schwarzenegger said recently. "There's nothing on the board at this point. Nothing on the plan."
Excited about a 3D adaption of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' with Bradley Cooper as Lucifer? Too bad, because that potential trainwreck was called off by Legendary Pictures.
Robert Zemeckis was planning a motion-capture remake of "Yellow Submarine" but Disney called it off because it was too expensive.
The sequel to "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" hasn't been called off yet, but when will it actually get made? David Fincher is looking at other projects, Daniel Craig is tied up with James Bond and a new George Clooney movie and Sony hasn't really done anything to move this ball toward the goal line. Don't hold your breath.
Michael Bay's adaptation of "Ouija" -- yep, the board game -- was killed at Universal, but resurrected by the studio after the budget was significantly cut. Proof you can't keep a bad idea down!
Tom Cruise and Guillermo Del Toro were all set to make an R-rated "At the Mountain of Madness," but Universal yanked the film at the 11th hour.
Warner Bros. froze "Arthur & Lancelot," about the Knights of the Round Table, because of the cost. Colin Farrell was going to star in a reconfigured version of the film, but he passed, leaving its fate up in the air at the moment.
Warner Bros. was set to adapt the Japanese magna with a cast that potentially included Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund and Helena Bonham Carter. In January of this year, Warner Bros. stopped production on the film, citing its growing budget. It's still in delay and may never come back in its current form.

Libyan militias threaten parliamentComment on this story
Tripoli - Two heavily armed Libyan militias demanded on Tuesday the country's parliament hand over power immediately in what the head of the assembly dismissed as an attempted coup that would be contested by the army if necessary.
Tuesday's deadline of five hours from the statement issued by the al-Sawaiq and al-Qaqa militia brigades passed without incident but they said they had troops on standby to force the hand of the General National Congress (GNC).
"We will act soon and hand over power to the supreme court and form committees to oversee elections," al-Qaqa top commander Othman Mlekta told Reuters. "We will work with the people and we're in contact with people in the south and east."
There was no sign of unrest on Tuesday evening in Tripoli, but dozens of vehicles armed with anti-aircraft guns from the Qaqa militia were parked at a roundabout near the GNC building.
A commander told reporters the militia had been prepared to move to the assembly and arrest deputies but extended their deadline by two days after talks mediated by the United Nations.
UN Libya envoy Tarek Mitri was seen by a Reuters reporter standing next to the militiamen. A UN spokesman said Mitri had met them as part of efforts to urge all parties not to use violence.
In another show of force, some of Mlekta's troops had earlier travelled in armoured cars along Tripoli's airport road.
In a separate protest underscoring the volatility of the Opec country, security guards forced Benghazi airport in the east to close for six hours to back demands for salary payments.
Both militias threatening the GNC are among the most experienced ex-rebel groups that helped topple dictator Muammar Gaddafi in the uprising that began three years ago this month.
Their threats are among the most serious made against the parliament, which has previously been stormed by an ex-rebel group demanding a greater share of power.
"In our view, the GNC stands for a return of dictatorship," a militia spokesman said in a statement read out to journalists, giving its deadline after the GNC's mandate expired this month.
An armed group responsible for the seizure of major oil ports in the east is supporting the militia statement, Abb-Rabbo al-Barassi, a senior leader, told Reuters.
Libya is grappling with chaos across the country as the government of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan struggles to control the militias who helped overthrow Gaddafi but have retained their weapons to shape post-war politics.
Many Libyans blame the militias and GNC infighting for a lack of progress in the transition towards democracy.
GNC President Nouri Abusahmain rejected the militia statement as a coup attempt.
"The GNC has given instructions to the chief of staff to take the necessary steps to deal with this group," he told a televised session of parliament. "The GNC received confirmation from the head of the army and revolutionaries that they would defend its legitimacy."
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan went on national television at midnight to denounce the threat, calling for wisdom to prevail.
"We reject a military coup and the use of violence to force something on the Libyan people. We are for peaceful dialogue and cooperation among Libyans," he said.
Tensions have increased over the GNC's role after its initial mandate ran out on February 7. Deputies agreed to extend their term in office to allow a special committee time to draft a new constitution but their move has triggered protests.
On Monday, it announced new elections soon but gave no date.
The GNC is deeply split between the National Forces Alliance party and the Islamists of the Justice and Construction Party tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Al Wafaa bloc.
Oil production, Libya's lifeline, has slowed to a trickle as protesters and tribesmen have seized oil ports and fields across the vast desert nation to press political and financial demands.
Output fell to 375 000 barrels a day due to a pipeline protest, a spokesman for state National Oil Corporation (NOC) said. In July output was 1.4 million bpd.
In the eastern capital Benghazi, members of the armed unit in charge of protecting the airport blocked the runway and prevented staff from entering the passenger terminals for six hours, according to an airport official.
The guards said they had not received their salaries for several months, the official said, and also wanted full disclosure into the circumstances of a recent helicopter crash.
The protesters allowed the airport to re-open after officials promised to look into their demands, the official said. - Reuters

Stunning water palace
What we say:
On a clear day, the island of Lombok is visible with the ever dominant Gunung Rinjani providing a stunning backdrop to the palace itself. From the carpark, a path leads past several warungs and Dhangin Taman Inn towards the ticket booth where a fee of 10,000 rupiah is charged. Upon entering through the gateway to the site, you are immediately greeted by the extensive tropical gardens and two large, shallow ponds that allow you to explore them by climbing across the stepping stones and over a bridge.
Stone statues are situated all throughout the water palace with bulls, horses and pigs featuring prominently but the best are the painted statues of Balinese Barong and Rangda situated at the far side of the grounds.
A series of decorative water channels also have a functional purpose, ensuring the water levels of the various ponds are kept at the correct height. In the western corner of the grounds are two ponds where swimming is permitted. Both ponds are crystal clear and you will more than likely see local people taking a dip. Often there is no fee charged for swimming in these ponds, but this probably depends on visitor numbers. Expect to pay 5,000 rupiah if there is someone monitoring swimming activities.
Most visitors arrive at the site between 11am and 2pm and stop for lunch in one of the surrounding cafes. At these times, it is impossible to take photos of the water palace without another visitor being in the photo. If possible, arrive outside of these times.

Daly City, CA (August 30, 2012) – Seton Medical Center welcomes the community to its new Health Benefits Resource Center (HBRC) at a free open house on Tuesday, September 4, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Families and individuals seeking affordable health services are invited to meet staff members and community partners, enjoy refreshments and learn more about how they can receive assistance.
"The services we provide through the Health Benefits Resource Centerare aligned with our mission to provide care to the sick and those living in poverty," says Sister Arthur Gordon, vice president of Mission Integration at Seton Medical Center. "It helps provide a means of access to healthcare and social services with a holistic approach to the entire family," she adds.
Providing access to health benefits and other resources to promote healthy families, the Health Benefits Resource Center is a centrally located information and referral service linking families to government-sponsored health benefits and social services, including Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, Food Bank and Cal Fresh (formerly Food Stamps). Families are assisted regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. HBRC provides free confidential assessments, referrals to community resources, and assistance in completing applications for free or low-cost health insurance programs. Services are available in English, Spanish and Tagalog.
"Being able to have access to healthcare and learning how to take charge of one's health through education and lifestyle changes is empowering," notes Lydia Ramirez, director of Community Outreach Programs for the Daughters of Charity Ministry Services. She explains the four HBRCs within Daughters of Charity Health System help individuals and families by determining what services are needed, identifying which agencies can help, then helping them navigate through the complex process of determining eligibility, completing forms and getting the necessary information processed. Funding for the HBRC is provided by a grant from the Daughters of Charity Foundation. The Daughters of Charity sponsor Seton Medical Center and four additional hospitals from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
With large numbers of job losses and reduction in hours in recent years for many individuals, Ramirez says the health system's HBRCs have seen an increase in the number of people seeking assistance from government programs for the first time.
"During the past year, our HBRCs assisted more than 10,000 people," she says. Ramirez adds that some individuals decide not to pursue getting assistance because they do not think they qualify. "We give people an opportunity for a Q&A forum, offer a free, confidential household assessment and provide an initial eligibility screening," she adds. "This helps more people gain access to healthcare."
Ariel Santos, manager of the Health Benefits Resource Center at Seton Medical Center says that many patients who come to the center are under a great deal of stress from being ill and suffering financial hardships. "We want to take some of the burden of stress away by handling the processes that are very detailed and cumbersome," he says.
The Health Benefits Resource Center is located on the first floor, near the main visitor elevators, at Seton Medical Center,1900 Sullivan Ave. in Daly City. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and serves the communities of southern San Francisco and all of northern San Mateo County, including along the coast. Please call (855) 848-HBRC for assistance or visit www.setonmedicalcenter.org.
About Seton Medical Center: Seton Medical Center, part of the Daughters of Charity Health System, is a faith-based, nonprofit, 357-bed hospital and is one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most respected hospitals. With over 400 of the area's finest physicians on staff, Seton offers a variety of medical specialties and sub-specialties.

You could pass XML documents describing the objects' state and create applicable object instances from that information.
Take a look at data-binding tutorials around the net. JavaWorld has some, I think.
