At a book party Gary Aldrich, Mr. Davis, and others responded to questions about the book, Speak No Evil, published by Regnery Publications. The book is both a murder-mystery and political thriller. Although it is a work of fiction, the amount of facts and truths as they relate to the present-day political scene causes the reader to wonder where fact ends and fiction begins. close

The Paphos District
There's something truly special about the island of Cyprus that few can define. Yet it has a magnetic lure of mythic aptitude that has been beckoning visitors here for centuries!
Cyprus lies in the Eastern Mediterranean and is a land of stunning natural beauty and rich heritage. The island enjoys glorious summery weather all year round, giving rise to its relaxed outdoor lifestyle.
Far reaching sandy beaches and pebble bays bordering clear turquoise waters fringe the island's breathtaking coastline. The magnificent Troodos Mountains' emerald green slopes are flecked with colorful wild flowers in spring and are iced with snowy caps in the few cooler months of the year.
Cyprus is a thriving holiday destination, with modern coastal resorts that provide endless entertainment for holidaymakers and residents alike. In recent years, many have decided to turn their ultimate holiday experience into a way of life by relocating to Cyprus.
The transition is a smooth one as English is widely spoken, Cypriots drive on the left and even the legal system is based on the British one. An added benefit is that Cyprus is a full EU member, making it simple to live and work here.
At first glance, present-day life in Cyprus seems a far cry from the straightforward conventions of yesteryear, with its international shops and facilities, however, many traditions still prevail. Nestled high in vine-clad hillsides are quaint villages, seemingly fixed in ways from years gone by. Age-old crafts including weaving, embroidery, lace making and silversmith are still widely practiced.
Traces of the island's long and intriguing history are still prominent, from ancient castles and amphitheatres to tombs and monasteries. Discoveries about Cyprus' past are constantly being made as new finds are revealed. Recently there has been speculation that Cyprus could be right beside the lost city of Atlantis!
In essence, the attraction to Cyprus is surely the same as it has always been. There are so many different aspects to the island that there really is something for everyone to enjoy! From its temperate climate and dramatic landscape, to its sun-drenched cuisine, friendly people and beguiling antiquity. Often described as 'an island of contrasts', Cyprus is just that, and that's just what makes it so irresistible to so many! Well, perhaps that and a little of the island's own mysterious alchemy!
Helios Heights
The village square is located next to the club house and houses a variety of restaurants as well as a coffee shop, village centre shops, golf club house and hotel facilities each of which offer stunning views of the Mediterranean.
A sports bar is also located on the upper level of the main restaurant with balcony views that look over the 9th fairway, with the sea as the backdrop. Exquisitely furnished, this is a superb location for evening drinks in the warm summer. Once done here, you can head down to the restaurants for some al fresco dining. The ambience is something not to be missed. Many of our clients who once frequented other parts of Cyprus, now make Aphrodite Hills their chosen holiday destination.
The Aphrodite Hills Beach is below the entrance to the resort. The beach is secluded and provides a restaurant with sun beds for hire. Water sports available at Pissouri Beach - 15 minutes drive - water ski, wakeboard, kite surf, jet ski and sail. Lessons are available through Columbia Water Sports. There are many beaches close by including Aphrodite's Rock, Avdimou beach and Kourion beach.
Aphrodite Hills is situated on two plateaus 300 metres above the Mediterranean, only two minutes away from the main Limassol - Paphos highway, and easily accessible from both cities.
The Resort is located 15 minutes from Pafos International Airport and 1 hour 15 minutes from Larnaca Airport. Flying time from the UK is approximately four hours.
Paphos city is approximately 20 minutes minutes drive and Limassol 35 minutes.
Pissouri is also a stone's throw away from Aphrodite Hills, with unspoilt sandy beaches and traditional taverns with live bouzouki music, you will be hard pressed to find a holiday location that matches the quality of Aphrodite Hills.

"Peaceful and Relaxing Retreat"
If you are thinking of travelling to Cyprus, this is an ideal place to stay. My partner and I stayed here with my teenage son The villa was funished to a high standard, it was clean, modern and spacious. It was well equipted, we did not cook whilst there because the local facilities were reasonably priced with a range of eating places within walking distance. The local kebab house was the best ever and well worth trying There is a good bus service that serves the resort but we decided to hire a car to explore the local area Paphos, the beach and local villages are all a short drive away but you can walk to the local beach if you want The whole complex is kept to a high standard, and we were very impressed by the cleanliness of the pool and communale areas If you like to walk or jog it was a great place to do this, if you just want to chill out the pool is in the apartments next door so great for the kids and adults We would recommend this villa for couples, groups, families with either young or teenage children

USG Facts
The Board of Regents
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia was created in 1931 as a part of a reorganization of Georgia's state government. With this act, public higher education in Georgia was unified for the first time under a single governing and management authority. The governor appoints members of the Board to a seven year term and regents may be reappointed to subsequent terms by a sitting governor. Regents donate their time and expertise to serve the state through their governance of the University System of Georgia – the position is a voluntary one without financial remuneration. Today the Board of Regents is composed of 19 members, five of whom are appointed from the state-at-large, and one from each of the state's 14 congressional districts. The Board elects a chancellor who serves as its chief executive officer and the chief administrative officer of the University System. The Board oversees the 30 colleges and universities that comprise the University System of Georgia and has oversight of the Georgia Archives and the Georgia Public Library System.
The University System
The University System of Georgia is a part of the community in each of Georgia's 159 counties and provides services across the state. The University System is composed of 30 higher education institutions including four research universities, four comprehensive universities, nine state universities and 13 state colleges. It also includes the Georgia Public Library System, which encompasses approximately 389 facilities within the 61 library systems throughout the State of Georgia. Additionally, the University System includes the Georgia Archives which identifies, collects, manages, preserves and provides access to records and information about Georgia.
Degrees, Majors and Rankings
The University System's institutions conferred a total of 58,809 degrees in fiscal year 2014, including 36,302 bachelor's, 10,454 master's and 1,521 doctorate degrees.
The majority of baccalaureate-level degrees awarded within the University System are in the fields of business, education and nursing.
Georgia is one of only three states with two or more institutions ranked among the top 20 national public colleges and universities, according to the 2015 edition of U.S. News and World Report's college rankings. Georgia Tech is ranked No. 7 on the list and the University of Georgia at No. 20.
The University System of Georgia enrolled approximately 318,164 students for the Fall of 2015.
Economic Impact, Employment and Budget
An economic impact study, conducted by UGA's Selig Center for Economic Growth, estimated that the University System of Georgia's economic impact on the state was $14.1 billion of direct and indirect spending in fiscal year 2013.
The study also found that Georgia's public university system generated 136,834 full- and part-time jobs, or 3.5 percent of all the jobs held by Georgians. The University System directly employs more than 45,000 faculty and staff.
The University System has an annual budget of $7.7 billion for fiscal year 2015.

Beginning in 1983 my body began to deteriorate. It began with tendons which would not grow, wounds which would not heal, and illnesses I could not shake. My health disturbed my development and education, with repeated hospitalizations and changes in colleges. However, the greatest difficultly was a perilous pregnancy and delivery of a wonderful, yet wounded child. Malabsorption, due to misdiagnosis, denied my baby nutrients needed to develop.
Although my tale can be used for change, my child is now healthy, and my life was graciously led towards the adoption of two magnificent children; it was still painful and financially devastating. Celiac disease affects roughly 1% of Americans. 95% are undiagnosed. Many are struggling through daily turmoil like mine. Celiac disease, while, manifested in the small intestine can affect and destroy any system in the body. Screening tools are available! The treatment is clear - no surgery, chemo, nor pills. Just a 100% gluten-free diet for life.
The average length from onset of symptoms until diagnosis is 9 years. For me, it was 17! At age 5, Grant, was also diagnosed after screening. And the biggest miracles, our son Marco, who came to our family through adoption ,was diagnosed when he was 4 after experiencing textbook symptoms and our little Maya, who also came to us through adoption, has the genetic predisposition. They all got the right mom and I got the right kids.

Will book worms soon make the endangered list?
The smell of paper, the rustle of pages, the feel of a weighty book in your hand. Nothing beats snuggling up on the sofa with a great paperback, turning each page expectantly, losing yourself in another world. At least, that's what some think. Increasingly, people are turning to e-readers such as Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook or tablets such as Apple's iPad to read from. A whole generation is being brought up on e-readers rather than hard copy books and as prices drop and e-readers become easier to use, so numbers forgoing book shops will rise. The question is, what does this mean for the future of books and are there any long-term consequences for e-reader consumers?
There's no escaping it - e-readers are here to stay and they are steadily becoming more and more prevalent. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble are now reporting that ebook sales outstrip their sales of physical books. So why have ebooks become so popular? It seems all roads lead to one conclusion - convenience. At one click of a button you can purchase a book and have it in your e-library, ready to read in seconds. It is possible to travel with hundreds of books and not break your back or be charged extortionate excess baggage fees. Text is easily readable, whatever the light and however good your eyesight as e-readers and tablets provide their own light source, and zoom functions and letter resizing mean that you can tailor the text to your needs.
In today's world, where everything runs to the beat of convenience and instant gratification, sometimes to the detriment of health or ability to perform (think fast food or calculators on phones that mean no-one has to engage their brains to calculate anything anymore), everyone strives to find the easiest method possible in every situation. However, not everything benefits from being convenient. The view from the top of the mountain is far more breathtaking if you've just climbed your way up, and cupcakes are far tastier if you've made them yourself. Not everything needs to be high-speed or technologically advanced; one of the joys of reading is the enforced slower pace and its simplicity, and that goes for purchasing books as well as reading them. For a bibliophile, hours spent browsing in a bookshop is one of the great pleasures of reading - stepping into a building devoted to the written word, scanning shelves, taking books out, flipping through them, maybe taking them to a comfy old chair, before finally discovering a real gem or two.
And there you have the fundamental problem with e-books: they depersonalize the entire reading experience, from start to finish. People who love books love the tactile aspect of the book itself ,the way they nurture the soul as well as the mind, which is something that technology can never replicate. A book offers an experience, whereas an e-reader reduces a book to words on a screen. For many, part of that experience is sharing a book they have fallen in love with. However, if e-books take over, sharing books will become a thing of the past. Kindle does now have a limited lending facility but it is possible only to lend a book once and for a period of just 14 days, despite the fact you have bought the book. Therein lies another major flaw to e-books - you can never truly own one. When it comes down to it, you merely own the rights to read the contents of a digital file, something that thousands of Kindle users found out the hard way one day in 1999 when they discovered that their copy of 1984 had suddenly been removed after a disagreement with the copyright holder. All accounts were credited but it illustrates the sheer transience of an ebook.
A much-debated issue has been that of whether e-readers cause Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, a repetitive stress condition that is characterized by headaches, blurred vision and eye strain. The electronic ink displays utilized by most e-readers, with their sharply defined type and soft lighting, are supposed to more closely mimic pages rather than screens but recent studies suggest that reading e-ink screens causes the same amount of eye strain as the backlit LCD screens of computers and tablets. Besides, if you work in front of a computer screen all day, do you really want to relax in front of one? Isn't one of the delights of reading in the 21st century the ability to escape the digital world for a rare hour or two?
Whether e-readers cause eye strain or not, there are still many disadvantages associated with them, aesthetics, nostalgia and romanticism aside. Books can take a battering, whilst e-readers do not fare well if they are dropped, trod on, or have anything spilt on them. Not many would be happy to take their e-reader to the beach and they are not especially child-friendly. They are rather expensive to replace if dropped in the bath or buried in sand. Physical books have stood the test of time but software and hardware can become obsolete in a mere few years - how long will you really be able to keep that cherished digital file for? Indeed, can you ever 'cherish' a digital file in the same way you can cherish a beloved copy of your favorite novel?
In the brave new world of the e-book there will be no rare first editions, no signed copies, no personal inscriptions. There will be no second-hand bookshops - no longer will you feel history beneath your fingertips, decades worth of readers devouring the very book you are holding. With no need for physical books there will be no shelves groaning under the weight of books, adding warmth and personality to a home. The digital, internet-led world we now live in has had a huge and irreversible impact on newspapers and music and the way things are going, books look set to be similarly affected. With more and more bookshops going into administration, books may soon be a thing of the past as book worms falter on the endangered list. But what a crying shame that would be.

Marchers protest NYPD's stop-and-frisk tactics
Silently they walked by the thousands down Fifth Avenue on Sunday. New Yorkers of all ages -- creeds and colors walked in a silent march together to protest what they call inappropriate -- unconstitutional treatment by the NYPD. Raquel Irizarry of the Police Reform Organizing Project says that a six-hundred percent rise in police stops over the last ten years has unleashed explosive resentment. City residents -- and everyone else in the United States -- are protected against unreasonable search and seizure by the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. Marchers here -- especially minorities who've been stopped numerous times -- say that Constitutional discussions don't get far with police in the street. As of Friday --- nearly 300 local and national organizations had endorsed the march -- which ended up a block away from Mayor Bloomberg's home. Now as you might imagine -- every step that these marchers take has been covered heavily by members of the NYC Police Department. New York Muslims -- however -- are doubly upset because there's been no reprisal whatsoever for the NYPD's heavy surveillance of the Islamic community here and outside the city. Linda Sarsour -- who runs the Arab American Association of New York -- says her organization came to march in solidarity with those protesting stop-and-frisk. She adds -- however -- that she wants to see an end to all NYPD racial profiling -- including the surveillance of New York's many Muslim communities -- and she's cautiously optimistic. One marcher -- a black Muslim who also serves in the US Navy -- says that what's called for is simple compassionate human communication -- and a respect for one another's dignity. Mayor Bloomberg has recently spoken of "mending -- not ending" stop-and-frisk. The Mayor continues to point out that crime has been reduced during his tenure. Thousands of marchers on Sunday -- however -- maintain that systematic rights violations are far too high a price to pay for that reduction.

Grass Clippings
I am thinking of starting lawn mowing company and am wondering what everybody does with the grass clippings. Please help me.
I discharge grass 90% of the time,I only bag here in early spring,and late fall.I only do larger propertys,and they have wooded areas i can put my clippings in,the piles i made last year are almost all gone already from bacteria eating it.Unless your doing small areas around pools,you should be able to mulch or dishcharge,bagging is going to eat your profits,and takes to long to do every day.I get no complaints from not bagging,I do not leave visible clippings on the lawn.
My Equipment Pictures
dvon, depends on the type of mower that you're using, for one. Is it a bagger? or can it just spit it out the side? The grass is better off if you leave the clippings on it, provided the clippings don't form windrows or anything like that. Here's a good thread for you to check out.
Welcome to Lawnsite, I wish you good luck in your endeavour. This site has a neat earch feature that will help save you time and effort duplicating past questions. Simply click on the "Search" link under the banner ad on the logo and go to town! Again, welcome and good luck.
we try our best not to bag. a good mower will make most clippings spread and disappear, and in bad conditions a double cut should eliminate all visable ones. it is also better for the lawn to not bag. good luck and welcome to the site! Dave g
Don't bag
Instead of baging just mow it higher3 1/2 is good
at 3 1/2 the grass shades itself and there way less
clipping and the strips look better when you cut that
high. Guess i'm not a:alien:
Clarke's Total Lawn Care
Our Business Is Always Growing
Doesn't seem to be the popular choice around the country, but I mulch everything where I am. For smaller properties and smaller gates, I use the Toro Recycler 21", and for larger places the 36" Exmark Turf Tracer HP. Both do a fine job. I've been mulching for about 3 years now, but was bagging some properties before about a year ago. I lost a few customers who demanded bagging or nothing, but they weren't customers I couldn't do without. A lot of folks on LawnSite seem to side discharge just about everything, but that simply doesn't work where I am in most cases.
Good luck!
I would agree with everyone else that you want to be mulching as much as possible. Takes less time, better for the lawns, no clippings to deal with. But you will probably have some customers (or maybe a lot of them) who insist on having the grass bagged. Where I live (Norman, OK) the city maintains a compost site where anyone can take yard waste (no charge) and they turn it into compost, which anyone can come and get (no charge). The city picks up yard waste one day a week and takes it there. So you may want to see if there is such a thing where you live. Otherwise, maybe you can leave the bags for the trashmen or put them in a dumpster (I hate to see it not get recycled though). There are actually lawn care operators who keep their own plots of land for dumping yard waste. Some may share this with other LCOs. Or you may find a customer or two (or non-customer) who will be happy to take grass clippings for their own compost pile. Look for people who do serious gardening or maybe farming. Grass clippings are one of the best things to compost. Turns into great "dirt" in (I think) about a year. Takes a lot of grass to make a little compost.
Good luck..........
I'll go against the grain here. I collect about 1/2 the properties 1/2 the time ( In the spring and fall). Over the summer I will discharge most of them.
Collected clippings in my area can be brought to an organic dump ($10 per yard) and some towns let you dump at the DPW with the permit to work in that borough ($15 per season). I have heard of others bagging and leaving them at the customer house. I guess it would work, but seems unprofessioinal to leave behind the trash for the customer to deal with.
My reasons for catching on some: It's easier and quicker than blowing clippings around till the cows come home on some properties with small areas of turf between walkways and the street---some will disagree--but without knowing the property in question, I don't think anybody can truely disagree. I have done it both ways on all properties and I will do whichever works best when I am there.
I'd say that best would possible be a combination of the three options. I'm with JeffyR on the bagging in certain instances. How many times have you spent forever chasing clippings around the pavement when it is windy out. Bagging would help this greatly. Is it worth the extra handling? Probably in some cases. This is probably best addressed on a lawn by lawn basis. What sort of lawn do you routinely cut?
I mulch everything unless the customer would insist that I bag it. I do charge a little more to bag the clippings and it may seam unprofessional to some, but I let the customer know that if he/she wants it bagged, I will leave the bags at the curb for trash pick up. On some occasions I will take the clippings if another customer has requested some for their compost pile.

By Jason A. email@example.com As hunting season gets under way in Georgia, one area businessman says the sport has benefits for enthusiasts who wield a gun or a bow, as well as the animal population in the state. Archers in Georgia were given the green light Saturday to pursue their passion during the next five weeks. Hunters who prefer to use guns will be able to do so beginning next month, through Jan. 1. Robert Hilsman, 48, is the owner of Hilsman's Droptine Archery, at 655 Old Jackson Rd., in McDonough. He says his shop, which takes the "droptine" portion of its name from part of a mature, buck, deer's antler, has enjoyed its share of customers since opening last year. Still, he notes the business, which specializes in archery equipment, has gotten off to a slow start this season, despite a large number of bow-hunters in Henry County. "A lot of people don't really like to hunt this time of year, because it's so hot," he says. "But as it cools off, there will be more and more people going off to the woods, because it's more comfortable." Hilsman says numerous reasons exist for why he chooses to hunt animals, a hobby he has enjoyed for the last 25 years. "We wouldn't be here without hunting," he says. "If the people who [originally] settled here had not used the natural resources that are here on the earth, we probably wouldn't have survived." The business owner says hunting deer, in particular, allows him to enjoy the outdoors, while not depriving himself of certain types of food. "I can eat that meat as opposed to red meat," says Hilsman, adding his kills are healthier to eat, because they do not contain preservatives. "Venison is my red meat. We eat it in spaghetti, chili, hamburgers ... we had meat loaf [Sunday] night." He says eating food he nabbed himself in the woods gives him a "different feeling" than anything he could find in the aisles of a grocery store. Hilsman adds that in today's economy, hunting animals allows him to feed his family without having to worry about the money it takes to buy it. "The squirrel, rabbit and turkey that are being hunted now ... goes in the freezer," he says. "It saves on the grocery bill." Hilsman acknowledges that there are many anti-hunting groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who assert the sport is cruel to the animal population in the United States. However, the McDonough resident says hunting actually serves to protect the wild beasts in the long run. "This is a more humane way of controlling the [animal] population, as opposed to just letting nature do it," says Hilsman. "When the deer starve - and I've seen it happen - they get diseases, their hooves fall off, and they walk around until they just die. Would you rather an animal be harvested, and expire within minutes, or do you want it to take months?" Concerning the actual practice of going in for the kill, Hilsman says that, too, is done with the well-being of the animal in mind. "The real sportsmen pass up the non-ethical shots," Hilsman says, adding that such shots are those which injure and do not kill. "You want to [hit] the major vital organs - the heart, the lungs - which will put the animal down quickly. If you just see the animal running off, and you take a shot and hope you hit it, that's not an ethical shot." Hilsman's niece, 12-year-old Andrea Bragg, helps her uncle run his business by cleaning the deer which are brought in by local hunters. Bragg, who bagged her first animal at age six, in the form of a turkey, says she hopes to take advantage of more opportunities to go hunting. "I like it because it makes me feel like I can accomplish something," says Andrea, who says she hopes to take over her uncle's business when she gets older. Hilsman's father and Bragg's grandfather, Bill Hilsman, lives in front of his son's shop, the site where he began processing hunted animals for local residents 38 years ago. He says in that time, the number of hunters in the area has decreased significantly. "There used to be a lot more deer killed in Henry County," says Bill. "But the growth [in human population] got so strong that people lost their hunting lands. That caused our numbers to drop. The old-timers are fading out, and people are taking their kids hunting less than they used to. We still get deer from other counties, but it's not as much as what we used to get here." Bill, a hunter for the last 50 years, says the procedure for preparing an animal to be taken home after the hunt takes several days, to ensure the health of those who will eat the meat. "We weigh [the animals], put them in the cooler, take them out and skin them," he says. "They'll go into another cooler and hang 2-3 days to drain, and then we cut them up, package them and put them in the freezer so they can be picked up." Some of the meat being stored at Hilsman's, is supplied by local hunters who do not wish to take it home to eat. In many of those cases, says Bill, the meat is taken to places like the Henry County Food Pantry, to be given to people in the community in need of food.

A Department of Statistics survey for the year to September 2008 finds informational, communications and technology (ICT) sales grew 3% to $19.5 billion, but exports fell 8% to $1.4 billion.
In 2007/08, sales of ICT services increased 3% to $10.01 billion, while sales of ICT goods (including software) increased 4% to $9.3 billion.
Telecommunications was the largest sector, accounting for $5.9 billion of sales, accounted for a third of total sales. Computer and related equipment followed with $3.5 billion.
ICT exports
Export sales of ICT services were $397 million, 28% of total ICT export value.
The ICT commodity with the largest export sales was electronic components with $281 million, which is 20% of the total ICT export sales. This was followed by telecommunications equipment with $232 million.
Larger business dominate
There were 2,283 businesses that reported sales of ICT goods and services in the 2008 financial year. This was an increase of 30 businesses on the previous year's figure. In 2008, 1,923 businesses were classified as small (two to 20 staff), 210 (20 to 50 staff) as medium and 153 as large (50 or more staff).
For total sales of ICT goods and services, the larger businesses remained dominant in the 2008 financial year, accounting for $14,411 million (75%) of total ICT sales. ICT sales for small businesses were $3,415 million. This was over twice that of medium businesses ($1,521 million) although there were more than nine times as many small businesses as medium businesses.
Small businesses in general accounted for a smaller proportion than large businesses of ICT sales in most commodities, however, for the sales of training and education in ICT, small businesses played a leading role with 65 percent of the total sales of $40 million.
Barriers to competition
Reflecting a tight ICT job market that has already begun to ease, the most commonly reported barrier to business growth was strength of competition, reported by 29% of businesses in 2008, followed by ability to attract and/or retain experienced staff (27%), and the ability to attract and/or retain qualified staff (24%).

Interceptor Mk 3
more than 6 months ago
I've owned (and still ride) an Interceptor Mk 3 since they first came on the market back in the early 80's. From day 1, it has been and remains, an absolutely outstanding surf craft, excellent in all types and sizes of surf. While until recently it has remained a "dry" unit (no leaks), sadly I've developed a mystery leak which I've been unable to locate (I still ride it but it needs regular draining; takes about 4 litres per 25 minutes). As such, if they still manufacture the Mk 3, while I would be keen to buy another unit, I would thoroughly recommend this craft to anyone looking for an exciting wave ski which will serve you well from beginner to pro. Congratulations on producing a magnificent wave ski.

I have a folder with these files:
alongfilename1.txt <--- created first
alongfilename3.txt <--- created second
When I run DIR /x in command prompt, I see these short names assigned:
ALONGF~1.TXT alongfilename1.txt
ALONGF~2.TXT alongfilename3.txt
Now, if I add another file:
alongfilename2.txt <--- created third
I see this:
ALONGF~1.TXT alongfilename1.txt
ALONGF~3.TXT alongfilename2.txt
ALONGF~2.TXT alongfilename3.txt
Fine. It seems to be assigning the "~#" according to the date/time that I created the file. Is this correct?
Now, if I delete "alongfilename1.txt", the other two files keep their short names.
ALONGF~3.TXT alongfilename2.txt
ALONGF~2.TXT alongfilename3.txt
When will that ID (in this case, ~1) be released for use in another shortname. Will it ever?
Also, is it possible that a file on my machine has a short name of X, whereas the same file has a short name of Y on another machine? I'm particularly concerned for installations whose custom actions utilize DOS short names.
Thanks, guys.

A Novel Visual Cryptography Coding System for Jam Resistant Communication
Baird, Leemon C.,, III, Schweitzer, Dino, Bahn, William L., Sambasivam, Sam, Issues in Informing Science & Information Technology
Cryptography is a complex and difficult subject for students to learn: a message is scrambled using a key and an algorithm that tends to be highly abstract. That is why many different uses of technology have been explored to make it more concrete and easier to understand. One of these is visual cryptography. In visual cryptography, the "key" is simply a sheet of clear plastic with apparently-random dots printed on it. The "encrypted message" is another such sheet, which also appears to be random. But when the two sheets are set on top of each other, a hidden message appears. There is an enormous literature on visual cryptography (see all of the References section below, other than the first four). It was originally invented and developed for cryptographic reasons, but the pedagogical uses are clear. It allows the student to physically manipulate the elements of the system, and visually see the decryption process in action. Although a computer must still be involved to create the two images, the student can carry out the decryption step without a computer. For example, the reader is invited to experiment with the visual cryptography system online at Baird (2000).
The more recent field of concurrent codes is even more abstract and difficult for students to grasp. The original code developed in that field is the Baird Bahn Collins (BBC) algorithm (Baird, Bahn, & Collins, 2007), which is complex enough that students may have difficulty grasping it at first. This suggests that it would be useful to have something analogous to visual cryptography for BBC codes. This paper proposes the first such Visual BBC system, and gives several variants.
In BBC, an algorithm is used to convert a message into a binary string of mostly zeros with only a few ones. This string is the codeword for that message. For example, Figure 1 shows how the three messages "Red", "Green" and "Blue" might be encoded as BBC codewords.
This is just a simple example. In an actual implementation, the codewords would be much longer, and would be generated in a more complex way.
In cryptography, encryption is used to hide messages. In BBC coding, the goal is the opposite: to make the messages clear, even when they are superimposed. Two messages are superimposed by taking a bitwise OR of their bits. For example, the "Red" and "Green" messages can be superimposed as in Figure 2. Both messages can be transmitted simultaneously by transmitting their superimposed codeword.
Note that there is a 1 in the "Red, Green" result in every position where there is a 1 in "Red" or "Green" or both. It is clear by inspection that given the "Red+Green" string, it can be seen to contain "Red" and "Green", but not "Blue". This decoding can be done easily when there are only 3 possible messages. But it is tedious to do without a computer when there are, say, [2.sup.100]0 possible messages.
A superimposed combination of BBC codewords can be separated back into their original messages through a very simple algorithm. Although the BBC decoding algorithm will not be given here, it is a linear-time algorithm that separates images with very low error rates, as long as the combination of codewords has more 0 bits than 1 bits.
At this point, it would be natural to go on and show the students the details behind encoding and decoding. But first, it would be useful to put the above examples in a form that the students can understand more easily. In the example above, each string contains 25 bits, and is written as a long row of bits. The example might be clearer if they were instead written as a 5 by 5 array of bits. In that case, the example would look like Figure 3.
This might be clearer if the digits 1 and 0 were replaced with black and white squares, respectively, as in Figure 4.
In this form, a type of visual BBC system could be created. …

Birds are one of the most affectionate pets to have. If you make sure to give them the proper care and attention then they will return to you your tender loving care with their own brand of loving companionship for years to come.
All birds have their own personality so caring for them will have to be a unique approach. Generally, no matter what type of bird you choose to own, your pet will need housing, proper diet, grooming and health treatment to ensure that they live a happy and long life.
The bird cage is the most common type of housing chosen for pet birds, unless you want to put your pet in a breeding aviary. Your pet's bird cage will need to have large enough space so he can move around freely, even fly a bit from one end to the other end of the cage. A bird kept in a cage that's too small for him may tend to develop behavioral and mood problems.
Bird foods will have to be specific to the type of breed you own. What works for parakeets, for instance, may not be good for cockatiels. So be sure to buy bird-specific ready-made bird food formulas at your pet stores to take care of his special dietary needs or check with the vet before stocking up.
Most birds have an intelligent mind. So bird toys are a must for mental stimulation and to keep him entertained. If birds are not kept amused and contented, they may succumb to loneliness and depression and fall sick.
Some plants, household products, food items and certain home conditions may pose dangers to the safety and health of your bird pet. Be sure you know about these environmental hazards before bringing a pet bird home.
There's a lot to know about birds and keeping them as pets in your home. This book is a starter guide to the new pet bird owner. You will learn:
· How to choose the right bird for you
· Some basic bird info and fun trivia about birds
· Important bird care guidelines
· Introducing the new pet bird to the whole family
· Recommended products for nutrition, health, safety and sanitation, products for playtime
Birds are fun and quirky creatures. Having them around your home can just give you an overall good feeling that some days you will find that their bright colors, chirpy sounds and animated qualities can make you smile or laugh and put you in high spirits.

Bozeman defensive end Will Dissly, who announced his commitment to Boise State just days before coach Chris Petersen was hired at Washington, has decided to follow Petersen and play for the Huskies.
Dissly visited the Seattle school over the weekend and told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle he has committed to sign with Washington and is honored to be able to play in the Pac-12. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Dissly was the Class AA co-defensive MVP as a junior and a senior. He tallied 57 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two touchdowns as Bozeman went unbeaten in winning the state championship last fall. Dissly also caught 55 passes for 917 yards and 11 touchdowns and was named Montana's Gatorade football player of the year. The Idaho Statesman reports Dissly is the fifth BSU commit to join Petersen at Washington.

Family member Wants $500 to watch LO while we work
Mother of a gorgeous babyboy - Mason 04.22.11 Patiently Awaiting Baby #2 - Due 08.11.12
Silver boobies ( . )( . ) Goin for Gold :)
I'm guessing the $500 is just for her time and effort. I would bring over all the things LO needs just like in a daycare.
Proud FTM to Ariel Charlotte - 04/23/11
Married to the Love of My Life - 11/07/09
Is it per month?
Proud FTM to Ariel Charlotte - 04/23/11
Married to the Love of My Life - 11/07/09
I think you should bring diapers, wipes, and food, just as you would in a daycare.
DS: February, 2009
DD: April, 2011, DD: November, 2013
I was also wondering if that's $500 a month or a week? $500 a week is really expensive.
We have my son in a liscensed in home daycare. We provide diapers, wipes and formula (because he's on Nutramigen, otherwise they would provide formula, too, but the Nutramigen is outside of what they normally provide, understandably) and they provide 2 meals a day and snacks.
Jessica (34) & Nick (31)
FTM to Drew 4/12/2011
Like others have said $500 a week or month makes a big difference. personally, I think either one is a lot of money for a family member. Is it an Aunt or Grandma? If I were to watch my niece or nephews I could not imagine charging even that a month. Especially if you are providing just about everything that is needed for LO. As far as I know most DC cover formula as part of their price unless you want something different, so ask her what the $500 covers just so you are clear on what her expectations are.
Love my two
My parents watch our kids for $600/month... about half of what I'd pay a commercial daycare in this area... I consider myself blessed! We provide diapers, wipes, purees, formula, bottles and other misc supplies... I used to buy things like juice and food for DD, but my mom just started buying them on her own, so I started tacking on an extra $20/week or so to her "paycheck."
$500 a month is a really good deal. If that is the case, yes, you provide everything as you would at a daycare or if you had a sitter. That's only $6,000 a year for full-time work.
If it was $500 a week and she was ONLY watching your child, that's still fair. That's only a salary of $26,000 a year. In that case, you still provide everything.

I've never been prone to headaches.Ā The last 4 days though its like I've had a non-stop headache that only keeps getting worse.Ā I finally broke down and took 2 tylenol today (i hate taking pills, so I try to avoid it).Ā Anyways the tylenol made me feel really funny, like woozy/weird- it wasnt a good feeling either.
On another note I've also been having terrible nightmares about people dying/being stabbed/cut.Ā
Last night I had a dream I went into the doctors at 5 months and they told me i had to deliver. They put me to sleep to have the baby, and when I woke up they brought in a baby that wasnt mine (had NONE of mine or my bfs features). My bf and I took the baby home anyways, and then after realizing she wasnt ours, and that I was infact still pregnant. We took the baby girl back to the hospital.Ā When we got there I demanded an ultrasound, but during the ultrasound they told me that there was no hb and that my baby had passed.Ā Thats when I woke up crying.....
Anybody else been plagued by nightmares? Could the headaches be causing/affecting these bad dreams?

by John Scalzi
February 25, 2014
I feel like it was inevitable that I would read Redshirts from the day I was born. I'm fairly certain my love for Star Trek was encoded in my genes, passed down on my father's side of the family, though my mother became a Trekkie convert later in life. In Star Trek the joke goes: "Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Ensign Ricky are beaming down to the planet. Guess who's not coming back." Security officers in the original series, always wearing red shirts, were killed willy-nilly, and in this book John Scalzi hypothesizes what would happen if the Redshirts became aware of their extraordinarily high death rate and decided to do something about it. Full of dry humor, sarcasm, genre-savviness, and plenty of nerdy references, Redshirts was thoroughly enjoyable. That being said, it felt like the book struggled toward the end and then became amazingly meta. It was a brilliant premise, but lacked direction that could've created a satisfying conclusion. I still recommend the book for fans of Star Trek and people who enjoy dark, self-referential humor.

Well that is interesting.<quoted text>Yep. I'm as queer as a three dollar bill. I just happen to be a homosexual that has been saved by grace that is no longer practicing that lifestyle. However my flesh is still attracted to men. And I am still honest enough to admit it because one thing about me is I AM NO HYPOCRIT.
I sometimes have to really strive to bring this flesh under subjection. As they say..the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
I've argued before that as long as you don't act on a fleshly desire you are ok.
So I can dare to say you are not a homosexual unless you act on it.
Am I wrong?
It's like any other sin.
So you are a repentant sinner.
Your honesty is well appreciated.

Does Google Reward High Quality Scores with More Impressions?

Brilliant analysis, Bradd. We see the wiggles associated with QS as some sort of refactoring that G does from time to time that doesn't really have any bearing on performance. A given ad was a 10, now it's a 7 and nothing about the ad has changed — whatever. As your analysis demonstrates, the numbers seem to bounce around without impacting anything, and folks who spend time trying to "fix" QS might be better served studying the levers that matter, with bids being the fastest and surest way to impact performance.
I think too it depends which "quality score" we're talking about. The primary quality score that gives you a "number" or metric, is"Keyword Relevance. There are other quality scores that Google is also using, or alludes to the use of, like account level QS, adgroup QS, etc…
I could see the possibility of broad-QS metrics like account and campaign QS affecting impression share, but it would likely be marginal.
It's kind of like when Google says on the organic side that "domain age could be a factor we use" in rankings, it's likely .05% of 200 other factors in the grand mix.
Not enough to change your strategies really.
Very interesting analysis, I had thought that Quality Score impacted CPC directly but did not believe it had an impact on Impressions, your analysis seems to bear that out.
I am impressed with the analysis you have did on Google query search keyword
This is really a impressive analysis on keyword searched in google.

Tubby Smith to return to the SEC?
Reports are circulating out of Baton Rouge that Tubby Smith is the leading candidate to take over at LSU. Trent Johnson left the Tigers for TCU last week, opening the door for a new face to come in and take over the Johnny OBryant/Anthony Hickey show. Smith would be a good hire for LSU because of his success in the conference. He was a head coach in the conference from 1995-2007 with Georgia and Kentucky.
Rivals.com names three other coaches as potential candidates behind Tubby: North Texas Johnny Jones, Oral Roberts Scott Sutton and Lehighs Brett Reed.

Sounds like it's between Duke and MSU for Parker, Washington distant 3rd prob.
He'd have an easier time getting PT at Duke, we're closer to home though and Jabari's dad doesn't fly so that's a pretty big factor.
He wants to make a fall decision and sign in the early period, not on any attention wh0ore Bazz/Noel sh*t.
If we miss on him we have James Young waiting in the wing, but it would be nice to land the #1 guy, just hope Cal and WWW stay away. Kid seems like a good person though do I don't think Cal will appeal to him.
