"These students bring their life and enthusiasm, culture and stories into your home. The requirements are minimal for hosting, but the rewards are incredible."
"I have met so many wonderful people during my time in Up with People," said Linn Schulz from Sweden, current Up with People student and advance team member. "By the time my semester is over I will have families all over the world. It's amazing how close you become in such a short amount of time."

Few peoplewould disagreewith the fact that building a large-scale, high-performance,
and scalable software system is a complex task. This is evidenced by the magnitude of
required up-front and ongoing '¼ünancial costs and personnel commonly seen at every
large software development organization. Seeking effective, ef'¼ücient, and economical
approaches to developing large-scale software is of interest to the entire software
Regardless of its complexity and scope, every software development project is
driven by a few common factors:
ŌĆĀ It is required to be on schedule because of urgency to be '¼ürst to market in order
to gain a competitive edge.
ŌĆĀ It is required to be within budget under the pressure of showing pro'¼üt and return
on investment (ROI) as soon as possible.
ŌĆĀ It is required to provide customers with all major functionalities at a minimum.
ŌĆĀ And it is required to meet customerŌĆÖs expectations on performance and scala-
bility to be usable.
While management is responsible for providing suf'¼ücient budget to cover per-
sonnel, development, test infrastructure, and so on, we, the technical staff (developers,
quality assurance engineers, and performance engineers), are accountable for deliver-
ing the software product under development on schedule and within budget while
meeting high standards on performance and scalability.
However, itŌĆÖs not uncommon to see that performance and scalability are pushed
aside by the following higher priority activities:
ŌĆĀ Analyzing system functionality requirements
ŌĆĀ Deciding on the right architecture and design patterns
ŌĆĀ Choosing appropriate programming paradigms and ef'¼ücient development tools
ŌĆĀ Starting coding and delivering early builds that meet major functionality require-
ments as soon as possible
ŌĆĀ Implementing automated functionality test frameworks

POSTED BY: GUNNAR KUDRJAVETS, MSS Software Design Engineer
ALAN TURNQUIST, MSS Software Design Engineer
Here are some recent FAQs about SALT:
Q: How do I debug a SALT application running inside a Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) application?
A: You can use the debugger statement (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/c6d2e193-c1f7-4fb3-8a4e-cc9823174ae4.asp) in the JScript portion of your application to break into the debugger. After you press F10 in Visual Studio the debugger attaches itself to the relevant W3WP.EXE process. If a debugger statement is executed, your application will encounter a breakpoint and you would be able to step through the JScript inside your SALT application and do all the usual debugging.
Q: What's the window.applicationData property introduced in MSS 2007 and how can I benefit from it?
A: The window.applicationData property will persist across the lifetime of the SALT application. This means that for example you can do the following things:
After the SALT application terminates, your workflow application will be able to access the data stored by the SALT application. For example if you want to log something in the error page, you can add it to the dictionary and then use C# code to write the error into NT Event Log, log file, etc.
Q: How do I close a SALT application which is running part of WWF application without terminating the telephony session?
A: If a SALT application is running from within a workflow, there are two choices to exit the SALT application:

Interview: UFOs, Aliens & the Question of Contact
- Uploaded by Grey on Oct 7, 2011
- Views: 4014
For this episode we have Bernhard and Humberto with us discussing their film New Documentary "UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact". We get into how they came about to put the film together and then we discuss the deep subjects that the film covers. We get into the national security state, the disclosure project, alien abductions, the parasitic nature of aliens, why they're here, the disinfo campaigns around UFO research, the disinfo of the New Age movement, and much much more. This is not an episode you want to miss if you are interested in truly peeling back the layers of reality and trying to understand things as they truly are.

Top Ten Worst Episodes?
View Single Post
September 13 2012, 07:49 PM

Location: ssosmcin
Re: Top Ten Worst Episodes?
This is all subjective and really "your 10 least favorite episodes." I don't think I really hate any of them. However, some episode are a chore for me to sit through, even if there are things about them individually that I enjoy.
Charlie X: the singing, the painful ass slapping antics and Kirk in tights. They should have smacked Charlie shitless "when I came aboard!"
Miri: No blah blah blah. Kirk creepily comes onto Miri from minute one.
Mudd's Women: the sleazy music, the ass ogling and Roger C. Carmel. No thanks.
I, Mudd: Roger C. Carmel. The over the top humor. The evacuated invisible crew. I am not programmed to respond in that area.
The Apple: Chekov constantly macking on Yeoman Landon, the planet of blonde people who laugh at kissing, the virtual replay of the ending of Who Mourns of Adonias and Mallory, who was trying not to be noticed, screaming his bloody head off before stepping on the exploding rock.
Patterns of Force: "Hitler made the trains run on time, so let's pattern a government after the Nazi's." The most misguided Trek ever.
A Piece of the Action: okay, I do hate one episode and this is it. Only a single funny line in the whole episode (Spock: "I'd advise yez ta keep dialin', Oxmyx"). Anything with Vic Tayback is bound to be obnoxious.
And the Children Shall Lead: the circle jerking kids, the fat phantom, Uhura's mirror at her station and Sulu's fear of Space Knives. What's to like?
Mark of Gideon: WTF? That is all.
The Way to Eden: actually treats young people as badly as Miri. And when did Chekov become such a tight ass? "His name was Adam." Thanks for hammering that home Spock.
Runner up: This Side of Paradise, merely for the painfully bad Jill Ireland. The only thing I ever saw her in that I liked was the Man from Uncle episode where she played a stripper. She had a HELL of a figure.
"Tranya is people!"

If you've seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, then you know the entire plot of Scary Movie. That's okay, though, because this is a parody, and it helps to know the story in order to be able to get the jokes. No, the biggest surprise here is not the story as much as the amount of full-frontal male nudity. Really, in addition to all the dick jokes (and the ass jokes and fart jokes), there's a couple of shots of the male member, one of which is erect and used as a weapon. Scary Movie somehow ended up with an R rating, which in a sense is groundbreaking; perhaps our ratings board is loosening up after all.
But is it funny? That's the most important question, and the answer to that is yes. In the vein of Airplane!, with a dash of the Farrelly brothers, Scary Movie keeps throwing jokes at you one after another. The law of averages says some of them have to hit, and enough of them do to keep the movie entertaining. Unlike the makers of Airplane!, however, the Wayans brothers aren't making this movie out of a love of the genre, and unlike the Farrelly brothers, they don't make fun of retarded people with any sort of respect, so the humor throughout feels a lot uglier. Still, there are enough funny scenes in Scary Movie to make the viewing experience worthwhile. Special credit must go to Lochlyn Munro as Greg, the over-the-top jock, who steals the movie up until the time he's gotta die.--Andy Spletzer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

How Can We Empower Students in Boyle Heights?
There's a education gap in Boyle Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Of its nearly 100,00 residents, only a third of of those over 25 have a high school diploma and just 5 percent have a four-year degree, a low rate for the county. Working with The California Endowment and artist Will.i.am's i.am.angel Foundation, College Track--a nonprofit that builds education centers in undeserved neighborhoods--is wrapping up its second year in Boyle Heights, serving over 100 students.

Video Promos of Megan Fox on SNL
Are You Looking Forward to Megan Fox on SNL?
Megan Fox is hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend, and here are her promos for the show with Andy Samberg. As expected, they mostly center around how hot Megan is, so it should be interesting to see if they can make jokes about anything else when the show actually airs. Megan's new movie Jennifer's Body came in a disappointing fifth at the box office over its opening weekend, so perhaps this appearance will help give it a boost. Check out the promos below and tell us — are you looking forward to seeing Megan Fox host SNL this weekend?

At that age I became fascinated with dragons. I found Dee Dreslough on the internet who I adored on that age. Saw the movie Dragonheart and later Reign of Fire. That made me want to rule as a Dragon Queen, never liked being a princess, queen always sounds more impressive. Also got interested in the gothic style, I still love those dresses.

LT. Action Your work definitely reminded me of Auron. Either way, it's turning out to be a badass work.
Daammn, if it wasn't for finals, I'd get a head-start on this CHOW and get it all done. Oh, to hell with it, I'm doing this as best as I can tonight.
When I was little, I was well known for changing my mind way too much: one day, I wanted to be an empress so I could rule everything. Next day, I wanted to be a Blade Runner like Deckard, a Power Ranger, a notorious gangster, and many more.
A Blade Runner or a Power Ranger...? Debating, debating, debating.
Everyone else, your work is looking to shape up real well. Can't wait to see 'em done!
Hello guys! Wont be joining CHOW this week, but just wanted to share something i painted awhile back, it could give you guys some ideas!
I was reminded about it when i saw Barefoot painting himself in a spacemarine suit. Good luck guys! I look forward to seeing your entries in the finals thread!
Great action in the picture. Good use of blur.

In September 2014, Marie Numa, certified nursing assistant at Life Care Center of Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, Georgia, received Life Care Centers of America's 2013 Eastern Division Whatever It Takes And Then Some Award for an act of extraordinary kindness. While Numa's care for her facility's residents and patients always exceeds expectation, she was nominated specifically for reuniting a son with his mother for the first time in five years. When Numa learned that a resident's son had been unable to visit his mother due to economic hard times, she personally paid to fly him and his fiancee into town and provided for them to stay in a hotel.
Her story is just one of many tales of exceptional customer service and care found throughout our skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers.

Exchange databases run a defragmentation process once a day by default. This process rearranges mailbox store and public folder store data more efficiently, eliminating unused storage space. Exchange database online defragmentation occurs automatically as part of the database maintenance process. Online defragmenting is performed automatically at 2:00 AM every day by default. Online defragmentation makes additional database space available by detecting and removing database objects that are no longer being used. The defragmentation process provides more database space without actually changing the file size of the database.
The following are two ways to schedule database defragmentation:
Although online defragmentation provides some additional database space, you should also defragment your Exchange database offline to reduce the physical size of your Exchange database. You can perform offline defragmentation by using the ESE utility (ESEUTIL) while your mailbox stores and public folder stores are offline.
You would perform offline defragmentation, for instance, if you had recently moved a large number of users from a server running Exchange 2000/2003. In that case, defragmenting offline decreases the size of your Exchange databases by rearranging the data on the server's Exchange databases, and discarding any unused database pages.
Note that the length of time that the defragmentation will take will depend on the amount of white space in the database, as well as the size of the transactions recorded in the database, and your hardware specifications.
Offline defragmentation creates a new database by copying all records and tables from the old database into the new database. Because this is a copy, defragmentation requires free disk space equal to the size of the database (actually, you'll need 110% of free space).
Very important note: After defragmentation is complete, ESE considers the new database to be a different database from the original. Therefore, the original database is deleted and its member log files cannot be replayed into the successor database.
A full backup should be completed as soon as possible!
Prior incremental or differential backups are no longer useful because they reference database pages that were reordered by the defragmentation process. ESEUTIL defragments a database by creating a new database, copying the old database records to the new one, and discarding unused database pages, which results in a newly organized compact database file.
When you run ESEUTIL /d against a database to defragment it, the streaming file associated with the database is automatically defragmented. This is the default behavior.
For example, if you run the following command at a command prompt:
eseutil /d "c:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb"
The Priv1.edb and Priv1.stm files are defragmented. If you do not want the streaming file to be defragmented, include the /i option.
Run ESEUTIL with the /p switch to configure ESEUTIL to create the new defragmented database on an alternate location (for example, to a location on a different hard disk). This switch lets you preserve your original defragmented database (which lets you revert back to your original database if necessary). This switch also significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to defragment a database, because you are rebuilding to a new location, rather then rebuilding the database in place.
Note: The database you wish to defragment must be taken offline (i.e. dismounted) before attempting to perform the defragmentation operation. When you run ESEUTIL against a Microsoft Exchange computer where it's database is still mounted you will receive the following error message:
Operation terminated with error -550 <JET_errDatabaseInconsistent, Database is in inconsistent state>
If the database is still mounted, use the following steps to dismount the database, and then run ESEUTIL:
Defragmenting Exchange 2000 Server Databases
Eseutil /d Defragments the Database and the Streaming File – 254132
Error -550 Running Eseutil on Exchange – 232301

Every year that I've went to Burning Man I've tried to read all of the signs that are posted from the Gate to the Greeters Station. I've tried taking pictures, video taping...but I never get them all. And there's been some great stuff posted over the years! So I'm asking...does anyone know where one can find what's posted on the signs from years past?
(2006 to 2008 are the ones I really want to find!)
Thanks in Advance!

15 is soooo beautiful :)
Bourjois 1 Seconde Gel nail polish swatches
If you watched my Bourjois nail polish collection/swatch video, that you already know that older 1 Seconde nail polishes seriously chipped on me. But cute new 1 Seconde shades and sale convinced me to give them another go.
I bought 2 nail polishes and hijacked the third one from a friend.
Either Bourjois improved their formula or new 1 Seconde polishes are more compatible with my current base and top coat, but in any case staying power was just fine. 2-3 days without chipping.
Bourjois Bleu Water (no. 8) was probably the first one to tempt me. I adore blue nail polishes and don't have many grayed out blues in my collection. I tend to be more conservative with stamping, so most of the time I'll go with "washed out" base colors with creme finish. Application was not problematic, coverage is good, drying time OK … 2 coats + top coat.
Bourjois Rainbow Apparition (no. 14) is purplish nail polish packed with holographic glitter. Do I need to say more? I used 3 coats, but this is more of a layering nail polish as it's pretty sheer.
Bourjois Corail Magique (no. 05) is the borrowed one. Cute coralish nail polish with added yellowish flakies. Thicker formula with good coverage. 2 coats + top coat.
Brush is one of the fanned ones and perfect for short and narrow nails as it's great for fast "one stroke" manicure. Not overly neat and precise, but when in a hurry …
Regular price for Bourjois nail polishes is between 6 and 7 EUR.
Video review:
Now I have lemming for more of Bourjois shades. Any particular you love/recommend?

Sva tri su lepa… Ne bih mogla da se odlucim za jedan :D
Jaz sem totalno navdušena nad modrim nisem še imela laka, ki bi se tako v izi nalakiral. Dejansko sem si lahko naredila manikuro na kavču pred TV in je prišla zelooooo dobro nadlaka nisem uporabila in je zdržal kar nekaj dni.
Oranžnega sem tudi imela na nohtih par dni, čeprav najprej nisem bila preveč navdušena nad efektom, ki ga je barva naredila na meni (efekt umazane roke…) ampak sem se nekako navadila (ni bilo časa ga dajat dol) in ni bilo več tako hudo. Kot da bi se čez noč barva umirila
i really love the one with all the glitter <3
Tried the same coral borrowed from a friend and hated it, application was a mess, couldn't manage an even application and it was too thick :( too bad because it looked beautiful in the bottle.
And in Italy we seriously need Bourjois back! I can't always ask friends to bring me back stuff from the trips abroad.
Wow, obožavam Bourjois lakove i svašta njihovo i nijanse su predivne.
Najviše mi se sviđaju Corail Magique i Rainbow Apparition iako ni plava nije loša!
Jaz sem izkoristila ena plus ena gratis in sem si nabavila 10 days lak za nohte, številka 11, ki mi je zelo všeč na prstih na nogah in 7 dni ultra shine Beige Glamour ki je preleeeeep :D highly recommended :D

Historical Fiction
As London is emerging from the shadow of World War II, writer Juliet Ashton discovers her next subject in a book club on Guernsey--a club born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi after its members are discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island.
"At age 12, Una a nonconformist, is sent from Kentucky to Nantucket because she refuses to believe in Christianity. At age 16 she runs away to sea, posing as a cabin boy aboard a whaler. She enjoys her adventure until the first whale is killed and processed, and then one day her ship is rammed by one of them. After weeks in a lifeboat, she is rescued and taken back to Nantucket aboard the Pequod with Captain Ahab. Una and Ahab find they have much in common, from their passionate tempers to their stubborn tenacity, so they marry and have a son.
"One Thousand White Women is the story of May Dodd and a colorful assembly of pioneer women who, under the auspices of the U.S. government, travel to the western prairies in 1875 to intermarry among the Cheyenne Indians. The covert and controversial "Brides for Indians" program, launched by the administration of Ulysses S. Grant, is intended to help assimilate the Indians into the white man''s world. Toward that end May and her friends embark upon the adventure of their lifetime." (Book Description)

The St. Paul City Council on Wednesday approved a new ordinance that bans the sale of low-cost, single-serve cigars such as Swisher Sweets or Black and Milds.
In 30 days, stores within the city limits will be required to charge at least $2.10 for each cigar, or sell them in packs of five. The ordinance, which passed 6-0, was sponsored by council member Dai Thao, who has expressed concern about tobacco companies targeting youths with the cheap cigarillos, which come in a variety of flavors.
Khal Aloul, a franchise owner of a BP Gas station at White Bear and Maryland avenues, said after the vote that the ban punishes honest store owners and does nothing to protect minors. Many customers will simply cross city lines and take their business elsewhere or buy cigarillos on the street.
Alicia Leizinger, Ramsey Tobacco Coalition, is happy St. Paul is banning cheap, single-sale cigars under $2.10
"When you're in a lower-income neighborhood, they're discriminating against the customer based on their ability to pay," Aloul said.
In a statement, Dai Thao said tobacco companies are targeting young people with low-cost tobacco products "to create a new generation of tobacco addicts who will end up with cancers (and) respiratory and cardiac diseases."
Alicia Leizinger, a program director with the Ramsey Tobacco Coalition, said St. Paul was the second city in Minnesota to enact such a ban. Brooklyn Center passed a similar ordinance in April.
"Cheap tobacco really isn't good for anybody," she said. "We are thrilled that they ... have taken a step in leading the state and passing a really strong ordinance. ...

Triticum aestivum
Very Rare. Pkg contains only 25 seeds.
Was also known as "Early Red Clawson, Clawson and Zeller's Valley".
Red Clawson was created in 1888 by crossing Clawson (a white wheat) and Golden Cross. This cross was created by A.N. Jones of Newark, Wayne County, N.Y.
It was advertised and carried by Peter Henderson & Co of New York City as early as 1889.
Winter planted.
Awnless (like many old wheats some awned types will present themselves).
Average plant height is 4' which is typical of heirloom types, but can be a problem with lodging in high wind areas.
Seed Head length is 3"-4".
Seed heads shatter easily when ripe, but easy to thresh. Care must be taken in harvesting.
Average of 6-7 seed heads per plant.
Historically grown in Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
1891 Peter Henderson Seed Company says...
"The earliest winter variety extant. This promising sort is a cross between the popular Golden Cross fertilized on the Clawson, partaking from the Golden Cross the compact head, dark red grain, extreme hardiness and strong, rapid growth, and from the Clawson baldness and red chaff, with very large kernels. It is without doubt the earliest sort yet known, enormously productive, yielding from 35 to 48 bushels per acre. We would call special attention to this sort on clay soils. The grain is very dark and hard."

I've been praying — and thinking — a lot about consistency lately.I struggle with self-sabotage issues. I make a commitment, and then back away from it. I commit to spending an hour a day in silent contemplation, and then I over commit my life so that I just never seem to find the time for that half hour in the evening.

|The viability of a thermoelectric fuel conditioning system for a diesel engine utilizing biodiesel
|Schriefer, Timothy
|Certain internal combustion engines, which run on hydrocarbon fuels, experience difficulty upon engine start-up in extreme cold weather. As ambient temperature decreases below the fuel cloud point and beyond, paraffin form in the fuel and eventually clog the fuel filter causing the engine to fail to start. This problem becomes more pronounced when the engine in question is a Diesel and the fuel utilized is biodiesel. As an alternative fuel source, biodiesel has many advantages; however, its cold weather performance is worse than even conventional diesel fuel. As biodiesel becomes more integrated into the world's energy usage scenario, one of the systems within a Diesel engine that requires further investigation is its fuel conditioning system. This thesis describes research aimed at the development of a fuel conditioning system that utilizes several emerging technologies while decreasing the amount of electrical energy required for operation. The system utilizes a eutectic - thermoelectric (E-TE) combination which consists of a eutectic compound based latent heat storage device with adjacent thermoelectric elements to transfer waste heat stored in the eutectic reservoir into the fuel filter, thus diminishing the amount of electrical energy typically required for the fuel conditioning process. Simulations of the E-TE system are conducted while operating within three different modes (start-up, heat storage, and electrical energy generation) depending on fuel and ambient temperature conditions, while a supervisory controller distinguishes between desired operational status. The research activities and findings reported contained herein include development of E-TE system models which each consist of several components. The first of which is a set of control laws, implemented in Simulink, which control system performance using various temperature related variables. The second component is a supervisory control law, implemented in Matlab®, which controls the switching between various modes of operation. With system model developed, the viability of the system is examined.
