Does Your Next Food Eating Challenge Involve Binge Drinking Herbalife's Formula 1 Nutrition Shake?
As many of you know, around these parts we are constantly debating the merits of various financial services employees' food eating challenges. Historically, we've detracted points for allowing the participants far too much time to complete the task at hand (opening bell to close, might as well just make it limitless), an insufficient volume of food (a box of Munchkins, considered by many to be a snack), and lack of originality (vending machine challenges have been done). On the flip side, we've applauded creativity (an investment banker and 500 Starburst enter a room and there's a webcam involved),* obscene amounts of food and enough sugar to cause hyperglycemia (244 oysters, a cupcake of death), and topicality (the delicacy that is the Sausage Pancake Bite: yes! Double Downs: double yes!).
Which brings us to this: the Herbalife Food Eating Challenge. New York Observer reporter Patrick Clark noticed that while the Herbalife story has been covered by many an angle so far (the blood-sucking pyramid scheme angle, the grandma angle, the Dan Loeb/UWS hedge fund manager on UWS hedge fund manager angle), the most important angle of all had yet to be explored: the actual ingesting of this stuff angle.

The Germans are "going on a diet" that will involve a "painstaking, methodical, meticulous approach to boosting efficiency" and "very significantly streamlining" in the investment bank and no one, not even the people hiding out in Chicago are safe.

Corporate venture capital has begun to rival "traditional" venture capital and angel investing in its importance as an investment source for healthcare industry innovation. However, unlike VCs and angels, there is a dearth of information on how the various players in the corporate venture sector operate.

Raj Rajaratnam Basically Has Washboard Abs Now, Says Completely Objective Third Party
Back in December, things were not going so well for hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam. For starters, he had just reported to prison to serve an eleven year sentence for insider trading, where there would be no April Fool's day midgets or employees to tase or extra mayo to eat. Then there was the matter of the "unique constellation of ailments ravaging his body," and the kidney transplant he was said to need. Finally, and not that there's anything wrong with this, but if you're a person who thinks looks matter, he was fat. It would have been enough to send Raj into an understandable a tailspin of sorrow and despair. And yet? It turns out the Galleon founder is not only doing great but looks good too. How good? While we have no photographic evidence, consider that an attorney who does not represent the guy and was ostensibly speaking to Bloomberg about a story involving Raj declining to answer questions about a tax shelter case could not help but steer the conversation to Big R's new body.
Rajaratnam, convicted last year of directing the largest hedge fund insider-trading scheme in U.S. history, was interviewed yesterday for about an hour and 45 minutes at the Federal Medical Center Devens in Ayers, Massachusetts. The deposition stems from a case involving a tax shelter Rajaratnam had invested in. He isn't a defendant in the lawsuit. He refused to answer any of the more than 100 questions he was asked, invoking his right against self-incrimination under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, said Howard Kleinhendler, an attorney representing the plaintiffs. "He looked good," Kleinhendler, of Wachtel Masyr & Missry LLP in New York, said today in a phone interview, adding that Rajaratnam appeared to have lost weight since the last time he saw him, in 2007. Rajaratnam, 55, has said in court papers that he has health problems including diabetes and will probably need dialysis and a kidney transplant. "He was in good spirits," Kleinhendler said.
You'd be in a good mood too if you could finally see your feet again. Guy could be in a Thai prison right now and he'd be happy as a clam.

Sustain your lifestyle if you become sick, or get injured.
It's worth taking a moment to appreciate this independence and remember that it is a luxury that you may not always be able to afford.
No one plans to get sick, injured or die unexpectedly. We often have a tendency to think that it won't happen to us; while it might seem unlikely, the reality is accidents and illnesses can strike at any time, often with quite devastating consequences. You should take the time to consider what would happen if you lost your ability to earn an income as a result of permanent disablement – how would you provide for yourself?
Having a personal insurance plan in place can provide financial security that will avoid you having to rely on your savings, family or any government benefits, which usually provide relatively small levels of income. Life insurance for young singles can help to provide for you should the worst happen.
It is also important to consider your life insurance needs while you are relatively young and healthy and there are still a range of options available to you.

Reviews of The Quarry
Average Rating: 3.7 out of 5 stars based on 3 Reviews
I am/was a resident of this facility
The Quarry is what you make of it. You can stay in your apartment all day and miss out on all there is to do and feel depressed and neglected. Or you can spend the day taking advantage of all the quality and interesting activities offered by the outstanding staff. Whatever your interest there is an activity to fulfill your desires. The staff knows your name and always acknowledges you when you walk around the Quarry. The food is well planned and you never get bored with the many selections. The exercise programs are made for all levels of health and offered every day of the week. Kathy (fitness director) makes exercise fun! I am happy and proud to live in such a lovely place.
I am a friend or relative of resident
Food is awful.
I visited this facility
The building and grounds are very attractive. I saw only one apartment with the approval of the residents. It was spacious and beautifully appointed. I shared a meal in the dining room with the marketing director that was very good. The menu is extensive. The community is dog friendly. There are many activites available both in house and for groups that travel. There is no buy-in. Luxury is a good word.

So this week has been better the last. With Garner we have been waiting on his chromosome test to come back, and we both have been stressing. To the point of it testing our marriage. Anyways yesterday it came back normal, no deletions and added ones. He also has and XY sex chromosome. They were worried with his genital issues that he might have some syndrom/disorder associated with that. Anyways he is normal as far as that goes and its a major relief. His hole in his heart has closed enough not to need more meds, so they started feedings again. He was at 2ccs and they bumped it to 4ccs this afternoon. Super excited about that, its one step closer to him coming home. He still is on the cpap, but has had less apnea episoded the past couple days. So thats also a good sign.
Salem is doing well also, she has been off the cpap for a while she is doing great with out it. She stopped her meds for her hole in her heart, they did an echo today to see if its closed enough to stop the meds. If so then she might start feeds. They had some blood come up from her stomach so they might wait a bit. She is only abolut an ounce from her birth weight though so thats great.
They are still in two different rooms, I keep pushing for them to get a room together. It would make holding them easier, and just spending time with them.
My pumping has been going good though too. So much that they want me to donate but I am not sure I want to yet. I want to make sure I have enough for my babies even when they come home if I cant pump as much then.
I am in love though, I am still stressed but I have a handsome big son with blonde hair who will probably be a heartbreaker, and a beautiful dark haired daughter who looks a lot like me. (which makes me very happy since my oldest daughter looks nothing like me.
My book is over now haha.

This plugin adds reusable macro expansion capability for other plugins to use.
Plugin Information
In various Jenkins plugins, such as email-ext and description-setter, a user is asked to provide an "expression" that evaluates to text. For example, in the case of the email-ext plugin, the whole email content is one big expression, so is the subject. This often includes some kind of macro tokens, which evaluates to things like build number, cause, the current branch being built, etc. In the description-setter plugin, the user configures a similar expression that evaluates to the string that becomes a build string. In instant messenger plugin, one might configure the template that controls what messages the user will receive.
All these plugins share the common concept of token expansions, where something like ${SUBVERSION_REVISION} expands to some textual values, and since this notion is useful beyond any single use case, it makes sense to define it elsewhere. And this is exactly what this plugin does — to define the mechanism for plugins to define tokens (and their parameters) and their evaluation, and allow this mechanism to be reused by different plugins.
Token Expansion Model
Much of the definition of this is modeled after the email-ext plugin. In the general form, a token can have an arbitrary number of parameters, with multiple values allowed for a single parameter name:
${FOO} # no parameter $FOO # alternative syntax for token with no parameter ${FOO,param1=value1,param2=value2} # 2 parameters ${FOO,param=v1,param=v2,param=v3} # 1 parameter with 3 values
Those plugins that wish to define custom tokens can do so by providing implementations of the TokenMacro class that evaluates this into arbitrary string.
Using Token Expansion
Those plugins that evaluate an expression can call TokenMacro.expand to have all the occurrences of the macros expanded by the available definitions.
String template = "My revision is ${SUBVERSION_REVISION} at #${BUILD_NUMBER}" String text = TokenMacro.expand( build, listener, template ); System.out.println(text); // something like "My revision is 125 at #12"
You can also ask to expand all Macros managed by the Token Macro plugin but also all environment and build variables using TokenMacro.expandAll.
String template = "My revision is ${SUBVERSION_REVISION} at #${BUILD_NUMBER} and was executed on node ${NODE_NAME}" String text = TokenMacro.expandAll( build, listener, template ); System.out.println(text); // something like "My revision is 125 at #12 and was executed on node master"
Databinding Token Macro
The base TokenMacro class only defines a minimalistic contract between the user of the tokens. To simplify the development of custom tokens, a more convenient subtype called DataBoundTokenMacro is provided to simplify the parameter parsing. In this subtype, you get your parameters injected to your instance, so that your evaluate method can access parameter values in a type-safe manner. The following sample is taken from the Git plugin that defines GIT_REVISION macro that expands to the SHA1 commit ID used for a build, with a parameter that controls the length.
For example, this macro can be used like ${GIT_REVISION,length=8} to only show first 8 letters of the commit.
@Extension public class GitRevisionTokenMacro extends DataBoundTokenMacro { /** Number of chars to use */ @Parameter public int length = 40; @Override public boolean acceptsMacroName(String macroName) { return macroName.equals("GIT_REVISION"); } @Override public String evaluate(AbstractBuild<?, ?> context, TaskListener listener, String macroName) throws MacroEvaluationException, IOException, InterruptedException { BuildData data = context.getAction(BuildData.class); if (data == null) { return ""; // shall we report an error more explicitly? } Revision lb = data.getLastBuiltRevision(); if (lb == null) { return ""; } String s = lb.getSha1String(); return s.substring(0, Math.min(length, s.length())); } }

Sooner football player wins in the classroom
On the field, the only memory many Sooner fans will have of Lamont Robinson was the costly interception he dropped in the end zone of last season's Red River Shootout.
Robinson decided not to return to the Sooner football team for the upcoming season despite having another year of eligibility (though it's doubtful he would've played much).
But Robinson had a very good reason for moving on with his life.
A 4.2 grade-point average, a degree in African-American studies, and a bright future away from football.
"I didn't do the things athletically that everyone comes here dreaming about doing," Robinson recently said during graduation weekend. "But the experience and the lessons I've learned and the person I am today, I wouldn't trade it for the world."
Robinson's future plans include running programs at a rehabilitation and homeless shelter.
He also plans on taking the LSAT next year in hopes of enrolling in law school.
Robinson won't go down as one of the all-time great Sooner football players. But he leaves OU a winner.

The Story of chocolate
These can all be used together in the one lesson. If you ask the children to put a button in the palm of their hand while you read the poem and see their reaction at the end of the poem when the button has melted, talk about this and why this happened (this can be a bit messy, but fun). Then move on to the story of Chocolate powerpoint.

Google CEO Larry Page won't be speaking at the company's I/O Conference in San Francisco next week because he's reportedly lost his voice.
Page, 39, attempted to quickly quell fears of health issues, sending an email to Google employees stating that "there is nothing seriously wrong with me" and he will "continue to run the company," according to numerous published reports.
Soft-spoken Page sat out of the company's annual shareholders' meeting on Thursday due to having lost his voice, which Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said could stop Page from speaking at public engagements for several weeks.
"I wanted to start by saying that Larry is very sorry he cannot be here today but he's unfortunately lost his voice," Schmidt told investors. "This means he can't do any public speaking engagements for the time being - that includes today's shareholder meeting, I/O next week, and our earnings call in mid-July.
"That said, Larry will, of course, continue to run the company. He will be involved in all the strategic business decisions we make - just like today. In fact Sergey has said it may make Larry a better CEO because he will have to choose his words carefully."
Although Page won't be in attendance, we're expecting interesting revelations at next week's Google I/O Conference. Among these topics will be the next iteration of the Android mobile operating system known as Jelly Bean and the firm's long rumored tablet, which is expected to launch as the Asus Nexus 7.

It's telling that only the nutters seem to have this story. Anyone found a link from a remotely reputable source?
Also, how would it be revenge? The Soviets built the wall...

I love the idea of Ireland and Wales being what is essentially the 'other' option.

It's a Daily Mail feverwank; only one step up from the Express' bullshit notion that the 'EU' were going to 'abolish' England and France.

How is this revenge for the Berlin Wall? The West didn't put it up.
And why are you pulling up six year old "news".

Things that should be put into Ncaa 13 to improve it and make it cool

[b]The defensive line play could be improved. On Ncaa football 12 the d-lineman gets thrown to the ground every time an defensive move is attempted. I'm not saying make every d-line man dominate because ncaa 12 d-line play had a tendency to let average d-lineman play like julius peppers and suh without even doing a move. The play of the db's could use some tuning it shouldn't be any easier to play offense than playing D. I always see recievers getting open on the same kind of route and the db's or linebackers sits and lets it keep happening. It always makes me upset how the game lets the reciever jump so high and catch balls while the defenders only jump 2 inches off the ground, it doesn't give a fair chance to the defender to swat or intercept a pass. The reaction time of the defense needs to be improved when the QB is scrambling. I can't stand how the defense sit and lets the QB run 15t yards before attempting to chase them. On the offensive side runningbacks or QBs shouldn't break so many takles if they're not powerful runners. It's OK if an back or QB breaks a couple or make guys miss. I think the juke and stiff arm use could be improved. I think people should be allowed to set up ways to shake defenders and make them fall. For instance if I am running an running back screen, as I catch it and turn up field if my opponent is coming full speed at me from the side I should be able to juke back and watch him run past me. It makes it really to cool to see a shifty player break someones ankles. Player awareness should matter. I get tired of getting done up by a player with an awareness rating of 48. There should be a team and player swagger rating put into the game.
Back plates should be able to be seen and move around as a player moves or runs.
Mouth pieces should be able to be seen. Lke the one that goes around a players mouth. We should be able to see players stick mouthpieces on the side of their helmets. I know some say this is uneccesary but it would be cool to see different things.
Celebrations: I think a couple of celebrations should be added. Like the one where players use their hands to act like their eating but implying that they are eating up their opponents.
When the defens gets an interception during the return we should be allowed to do the deion sanders high step and his dance.
These are some ideas I've thought of and hope are looked at and put into the game.
I Love NCAA!

here's the gameplay podcast showing which new gameplay items made it into ncaa 13. a lot of the stuff you want is touched on in there.
as for back plates- technically its against ncaa rules for them to be hanging out of the jersey. all pads are supposed to be hidden under the uniform.....its a rule thats not heavily enforced, but its still a rule that exists (that pads arent supposed to be seen).
celebrations were in previous editions of ncaa football, but were removed by the ncaa's request; which means they wont be making a return to the video game, unless the ncaa says its ok.

Another thing I've just realized. Weight should really matter in the game because anybody can break or big hit anyone in Ncaa 12. I get really tired of getting leveled and fumbling from a hit by a way smaller player. Same on offense a small running back trucking a big lineman or linebacker not saying all small players aren't strong and all big players are the strongest but just make weight and strength matter. There shouldn't be players with a 39 strength rating big hitting players every time unless you hit the player while they aren't looking or just catching the ball. Same on offense a running back with a strength rating of 47 shouldn't break tackles every play. I can understand that a player may be elusive but that's why I think the juke should be more effective if the a player sets up a way to juke out someone.Im not saying that the players with a low strength rating can't break any straight on or direct tackles but they shouldn't break so many like they did on NCAA 12. Quick Pep talks on the side line when a time out is called and we should be able to decide what our team eeds to do better.
Celebrations: I now understand that many celebrations can't be put on the game due to rules but the one where players throw up their gloves with their team logos in them should be added after scoring touchdowns. Not only after scoring touchdowns but after getting sacks, interceptions, big hits and tackles for losses.
There should be teams and players getting into scuffles after plays sometimes and the refs break them up to as the game gets intense or if a team is getting blowed out, tempers should flare like in real life.

i agree that momentum should play a larger part in the game and according to the community day guys, its not quite to the point that it was in ncaa11, but its way better than 12. also, when i brought up the weight issue to them and the fact that weight doesnt matter at all, the responce i got was that ratings are going to override characteristics.
strength isnt the deciding factor in whether or not a rb breaks a tackle. thats why there are elusiveness and break tackle ratings.
since team equipment received hardly any upgrades to it, it'd be pointless to add the celebrations showing off the team specific gloves, since they're not in the game.
mild skirmishes and player fights will never be put into the game. that should be common sense for anyone as the ncaa has a say into what goes into the game and what wont, and its guaranteed that they wouldnt allow fights.

- PI3K inhibitor WX-037
A phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. PI3K inhibitor WX-037 specifically inhibits PI3K, which prevents the activation of the PI3K/protein kinase B-mediated signaling pathway. This may result in the inhibition of both tumor cell growth and survival in PI3K-overexpressing tumor cells. Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis. Dysregulated PI3K signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.
Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Solutions for Your Toughest Problems
ICAN Q & A Home
Tuesday, December 01, 2015
[Tuesday, June 07, 2011]
What is the formula I can use to estimate how long a strip/refinish job will take? I want to make sure I have enough man hours to complete a job. How many square feet can a person strip/ finish per hour, etc. All the furniture will already be moved, and we will have full access to the room. Thank you.
Bidding & Estimating
- Justin Bostock
There is no such formula because there are too many variables to take into consideration. How many coats are on the floor, how has it been maintained, what sort of equipment do you have, how long will the finish take to cure, etc?
The ISSA's Cleaning Times guide will help somewhat, but it, too, acknowledges the variables on every job.
If you have no similar experience to go by, charge by the hour. Tell the client your rate for unknown floor jobs is $45 / hour or what ever, and do it that way. Keep records and soon you will have a better idea of what is involved as far as time is concerned.

After building an empire with bootleg alcohol, legendary crime boss Al Capone rules Chicago with an iron fist. Though Prohibition agent Eliot Ness attempts to take Capone down, even his best efforts fail due to widespread corruption within the Windy City's police force. Recruiting an elite group of lawmen who won't be swayed by bribes or fear, including Irish-American cop Jimmy Malone, Ness renews his determination to bring Capone to justice.

Music: The New Pornographers
The New Pornographers are an Indie Rock and/or Power Pop (depending on who you ask) Supergroup with origins in Vancouver, BC. Formed in the late Nineties, they released their first album, Mass Romantic, in 2000.Being as they are a supergroup, all of the members had significant careers before the band started, and most still do. However, the band really launched them up into the heights of indie fame.Lineup:
- Dan Bejar (of Destroyer, Swan Lake, and Hello, Blue Roses)- Vocals, keyboards, multi-instrumentals
- A. C. Newman (solo, and also Zumpano and Superconductor) - Vocals, guitar, more or less everything else
- John Collins (of The Evaporators) - Bass, guitar, more or less everything else
- Kathryn Calder (of Immaculate Machine) - Vocals, piano, other keyboards
- Neko Case (solo, and also Maow, Corn Sisters and Cub) - Vocals
- Kurt Dahle (of Limblifter and Age of Electric) - Drums, assorted percussion
- Todd Fancey (solo, and also Limblifter) - Guitar, mandolin, banjo
- Blaine Thurier (former filmmaker) - Some really freakin' weird instruments. And a sampler.
- Mass Romantic (2000)
- Electric Version (2003)
- Twin Cinema (2005)
- Challengers (2007)
- Together (2010)
- Brill Bruisers (2014)
Tropes associated with this band include:
- Canada, Eh?
- Cover Version: "Think About Me" by Fleetwood Mac, "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra, and "Your Daddy Don't Know" by Toronto
- Double Subversion: The song "Execution Day" features this lyric:On this day which began as execution day
And sure enough became execution day
- Droste Image: They used TV monitors to create this effect in the video for "Letter From an Occupant."
- Fading into the Next Song: On Brill Bruisers, "War on the East Coast" fades into "Backstairs".
- In the Style of...: "My Rights Versus Yours" is done in the style of mid-late sixties The Beach Boys. The band also held a YouTube contest promoting Challengers challenging fans to cover their own songs in the really smooth style of Michael McDonald.
- Intentionally Awkward Title: Their name, which is hardly indicative of their oeuvre. For that matter, the song "Entering White Cecilia" doesn't appear to have anything to do with sex other than its titular line (although they have claimed that it does).
- Leave the Camera Running: The music video for "Crash Years" features a static aerial view of a portion of a brick street, as people walk by holding umbrellas, riding on bicycles and other miscellaneous stuff happens below the camera.
- Lyrical Shoehorn: A.C. Newman takes this trope and just runs with it. He's admitted that a lot of his lyrics don't really mean anything, that he just uses whatever sounds best in the song, or will use certain words because their vowels and consonants go well with a melody.
- Dan Bejar sometimes does this with his songs, but more often his lyrics are very much representative of his work as Destroyer. In which case, it's a very weird world he lives in. Enough to create a drinking game out of it.
- Mama Bear: At a show in Boston, someone tossed a CD at the stage, striking A. C. Newman's guitar. Newman was, at best, confused. NEKO CASE WAS PISSED.
- New Sound Album: Brill Bruisers has a much more noticeable reliance on synthesizers and a denser sound in general. Also, Challengers was composed almost entirely of ballads, but this didn't carry over into their subsequent material.
- Pop-Culture Isolation: Discussed during a live show for iTunes. The band was asked to learn "a rock and roll classic" for French television, only to find that the audience didn't recognize their choice, "Don't Bring Me Down".
- Real Song Theme Tune: The Hour CBC previously used "Use It" (off of Twin Cinema) before switching to "The Good In Everyone" by Sloan.
- Supergroup: As previously noted. Though they've stated that they don't really like the term, since the group is far more well known than any of its members' other work.
- Surreal Music Video: The one for "Myriad Harbor" follows a man with a giant head of hair that grows without control, eventually growing other heads that all start singing in unison. Also counts as Deranged Animation.
- It's Dan Bejar!
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Neko Case remains a member of the band as female lead. However, her other commitments (being an alt-country heroine, or a whacked-out pop princess) does mean she is not always available to tour with the band. Part of the reason Kathryn Calder was hired was to serve as female lead on tour, so that they could tour independently of Neko's schedule. Recently she's appeared as the lead singer on some recordings as well.
- Title Drop: The first three albums all opened with songs with the same title as the album (well, the song was called "The Electric Version," but let's not split hairs, shall we?), which also included the album title as a lyric in the song. Challengers also had a song entitled "Challengers," but it was the third track.
- "Together" is a weird case, since depending how you look at it, it can either have no title song or two title songs — "Your Hands (Together)" and the closing song "We End Up Together".
- Token Minority: Neko Case is a Token American in a Canadian band (born in Virginia, raised in Washington State).
- Word Salad Lyrics: Again, A.C. Newman's songs often end up like this.

Whitman College has a new Irish dance team called RiverRince that will perform a dance piece this weekend at the Whitman Modern Dance Show.
The dance performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Cordiner Hall. Admission is free.
"Rince" means "dance" in Irish, thus the name "RiverRince" is a play on RiverDance, a traditional Irish dance production. RiverRince started last spring and received Whitman funding this fall.
The group is composed of five student dancers, as well as one other who is currently traveling with the National Dance Company of Ireland.
The students involved with RiverRince choreograph all of their own dances, which is noteworthy given that this is a student-led group. Whitman student Erika Horwege is the president of RiverRince and has been doing Irish dancing for over 11 years.
Horwege noted that their choreography is unique in that it is a combination of the students' different dancing experiences.
"We use inspiration and previous knowledge from our own performance experiences. I think what makes us different is that there is no Irish dance teacher on campus, so everything we know is from our dance schools back home, and we create our own performance numbers," Horwege said.
Whitman student Brianna Gormly, one of the students involved with RiverRince, said, "Choreographing our routines is always a whole group effort, though one person may have really good ideas for a specific part and teach their choreography to the rest of us."
Gormly has been doing Irish dancing since she was 10 years old.
The dance show features a wide variety of modern dances, many of which are choreographed by students. Horwege is excited about performing among other modern dancers in the performance this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to working alongside the modern dancers -- it is such a similar yet different discipline at the same time. I love watching them perform," Horwege said.
Both Gormly and Horwege were pleased to be able to continue doing Irish dancing at Whitman.
"I've really enjoyed being a part of this group, especially since I thought that I would have to give up Irish dance when I went to college. Finding other dancers here was amazing and unexpected," Gormly said.
RiverRince offers Irish dance lessons for Walla Walla youth at the Walla Walla Dance Company on Saturday mornings.
"We are really excited about becoming more involved with the Walla Walla community as well as the Whitman campus," Horwege said.
For more information, call (509) 527-5111.

Not sure if I'm posting in the proper place. How would I run a scrip on all out package library parts (.dra files)?
Use a batch file to call your script:# batch file to process all *.dra files through an Allegro script in a directory#set noconfirm=tfor %%f IN (*.dra) DO start /wait /min allegro -s libfix2.scr %%f"libfix2.scr" is my script in this case.I always copy the *.dra files to a separate directory before running the script, then overwrite the original files if the desired results are obtained.Dave
Thanks for the quick reply!
At the end of the script, do I need to do a save or does the batch file do that?
Script needs to include save - sample tail of a script:# call asysize.il#setwindow pcbasysize## call delsilk.il# setwindow pcbdelsilk## redraw, save & exit#setwindow pcbredisplaysaveexitDave
Thanks!I'll give it a try and let you know how it works out (may not be until next week).John
Did a quick test and got this message-E- Command not found: for %%f IN (*dra) DO start /wait /min allegro -s jwz_text_block_a.scr %%f
Create a batch file "yourbatch.bat" which calls your script/skill "yourscript.scr":set noconfirm=tfor %%f IN (*.dra) DO start /wait /min allegro -s yourscript.scr %%fCreate a directory for processing, and copy all of your target .dra files, the .bat file, and the .scr file into the directory. (No need to mess with system env variables or path using this method).From DOS, navigate to the folder and type the name of the batch file.
Works like a charm, Thanks!!

Francis Wheatley (British, 1747–1801)
Oil on canvas
38 3/4 x 50 in. (98.4 x 127 cm)
Gift of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 2009 (2009.357)
Francis Wheatley, whose father was a London tailor, received some formal training at William Shipley's academy in London and in 1762 and 1763 won prizes for his figure drawings. In 1769, he was among the first students admitted to the Royal Academy. He was elected a member and in 1774 a director of London's Society of Artists. Wheatley worked in both oils and watercolors, at first painting landscapes and small full-length portraits, the success of which led him to take up the conservation piece (a group portrait of family members or friends in a landscape or an interior), of which The Saithwaite Family is an elegant example. Although it has not as yet been possible to confirm the identity of the sitters, the name Saithwaite is commonly found in Lancashire. On the mantle shelf is basalt ware similar in design to Wedgwood, and on the floor is a Turkey carpet. The woman wears a bright summer dress with a gauze fichu and a stylish hat decorated with blue ribbons and ostrich plumes.

Long Goodbye
Wright, Amanda, The Christian Century
Long goodbye Sunday, May 23 John 17:20-26; Acts 16: 16-34
HOW DO YOU say goodbye? It depends, I suppose, on the relationship--what it has grown to and what it will become. For Jesus, preparing to leave the close society of his disciples seems to have been a long process. Almost from the beginning he gently, or sometimes in exasperation, explained that the course his life was following would lead to profound changes in their lives. So he began saying goodbye early.
When families get together to say farewell to someone moving away, or to celebrate the last few days of someone's single life before marriage, they often rummage around and get out old photographs. These pictures stimulate an extended round of reminiscence--where holidays were spent, the worst car journey, Aunt So-and-So's funeral. Before an impending change, people tend to reflect on how they got to where they are. They are preparing to say "Goodbye."
Jesus' final conversations before his arrest are like family gatherings. One member is reminiscing about where family members are now and how they got there. Look how these memories fit in with what I have been saying to you, Jesus says. Remember that I was always with you, but that soon I will be with you in a different way. Say goodbye to the old way.
When a girl who can tell fortunes starts following St. Paul around as he goes to prayer in Philippi, shouting that these men are servants of God and have come to tell the citizens how to be saved, Paul loses his temper and tells the spirit that gave her this insight to come out. That meant no more fortune-telling, no more payments to her masters from people desperate to have some control over their futures, or at least to see them coming. They would have to say goodbye to all that.
Maybe Paul was annoyed that his well-argued intellectual persuasion and the witness of the disciples" own conduct were overshadowed by this girl's act. How can people change their lives anal make an important commitment on the basis of a parlor trick? Unthinkable. As a consequence, the slave girl has to say good-bye to her old way of life, to the extra favor that her fortune-telling brought her. She stops being "the slave girl who tells fortunes" and becomes nearer to being herself--not to the task she performs but the person that she is. We don't even know her name. Afterwards she fades from the story.
She may have had to say goodbye to being of some importance in society, but she also needed to welcome a new future. We don't know if she acted on her insight into Paul and Silas's mission and became a follower, but the jailer did. He threw all his eggs into one basket and brought his whole family into the family of the baptized. …

One of my close friends is always complaining that Obi-Wan gets his ass kicked too often in the prequels. I wonder if Obi-Wan is going to 'lose his shit' after Satine's execution and get some revenge of his own? I don't think so. It doesn't seem in his character. Is Obi-Wan not the most centered Jedi around? Besides his forbidden romance to Satine, of course. he seemed quite composed from his rescue.

text: Sustainability The Growing Menace from Superweeds Pigweed, ragweed and other monsters have begun to outsmart the advanced technologies that protect the biggest U.S. cash crops By Jerry Adler THIS IS A PREVIEW. Buy this digital issue or subscribe to access the full article. Already a subscriber or purchased this issue? Sign In Brad Luttrell In the second week of November, central Indiana is a patchwork of tawny and black: here a field covered with a stubble of dried corn and soybean plants; a little farther on, bare earth where the farmer has plowed under the residue of last summer's crop. This is soil that wants to grow things, and already if you look closely you can see some shoots of fall weeds: chickweed, cressleaf and purple nettle. In a greenhouse on the campus of Purdue University, Chad Brabham, a soft-spoken grad student in weed science, selects two pots, each holding one 18-inch-high plant, bearing serrated, three-lobed leaves on a coarse stem. If the plants look familiar, you might have seen them growing in a vacant lot or by a roadside almost anywhere in the lower 48 states. They are Ambrosia trifida, or giant ragweed—a plant as ugly as its name and as useless, well, as its cousin, common ragweed, A. artemisiifolia, a machine for sucking up water and spewing out highly allergenic pollen. If the farmers stopped farming, it would not take more than a few years before this part of Indiana would live up to the nickname that agronomists joke should appear on its license plates: Giant Ragweed National Forest. Over the past half a century or so, that fate has been kept at bay primarily by chemical herbicides. One of the most widely used is glyphosate, best known as the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killers, among others. Brabham positions the two pots in a spray chamber and fills a small tank with a solution of the potassium salt of glyphosate. A traveling spray head swiftly traverses the length of the chamber and soaks the drab-green leaves with what by all rights should be a lethal dose. Brabham removes the pots and returns them to the growing table. What happens to these weeds in the next 24 hours will show, in microcosm, what farmers will face across the Midwest this growing season. THIS IS A PREVIEW.

Pecan Puffs (Aka Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Tea Cakes)
Total Time

One of our family favorite cookies for the holidays-- these are sooo melt-in-your-mouth delicious! These cookies go by many different names. If you desire, you may sub walnuts or hazelnuts for the pecans. I hope you enjoy!!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar (heaping)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups pecans, ground (or very finely chopped)
- powdered sugar, for rolling cookies in
- Cream butter, add sugar and remaining ingredients.
- Roll into small balls, and place on cookie sheet.
- Bake in 325 F oven for 30 minutes.
- Roll balls into powdered sugar when hot, and again when cool.
- Note: These cookies taste best when thoroughly cooled (ie best served the next day--if you can wait!).
Most Helpful
These are amazing. I normally make them around christmas time for parties and they go fast! I don't really chop the pecans because you can't taste them. It tastes better with big chunks of pecans. Also be careful when rolling them in the powdered sugar. I put the sugar in a bowl and rolled them one or two at a time because they will break up.
These were really good! I think I must have used more pecans because they were more "pecanny" than I expected. But they were still great cookies and I am going to make them again and again as they are a favorite of our family and are great cookies.
What a treasure, so easy to make, I would even say foolproof. I used walnuts as that is what I had but only 1 cup and they still tasted & looked like they came from a specialty shop. Next time I will try with the right amount of pecans but not sure there is much room for improvement. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe.

GAME: Assassins Creed IV Black Flag
Developer: UBISOFT
Release date: 28/10/2013
Type/genre: Role Play
Spoilers / No spoilers Included in this review
Story: 8 / 10
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag begins in 1715, when pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures.
The fullest Assassin's Creed world ever created. Stand among legendary pirates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Benjamin Hornigold, as you establish a lawless republic in the Bahamas and relive the truly explosive events that defined the Golden Age of Pirates. From Kingston to Nassau, explore 50 unique locations where you can live the life of a pirate. Captain and customize your own ship, search for lost treasure, hunt rare animals and loot underwater shipwrecks.
Into this world sails a young, cocky, and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into an ancient conflict that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.
While Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is the next installment in the Assassins Creed Franchise it is set in a time before Assassins Creed III so is not quite a follow on from previous games. You do not have to have played any of the previous games for this one to make sense.
In Assassins Creed IV unlike in other games you are an employee of ABSTERGO and have your own terminal in there ultra-modern office suite, as we do not include any spoilers in our reviews you will have to play the game to find out more about your position at ABSTERGO.
If you enjoyed the previous skulking about in the shadows, climbing buildings, hunting enemy's and performing spectacular Air Assassinations, you will enjoy more of these features in Assassins Creed IV, but if you liked the ship combat in Assassins Creed III you will absolutely LOVE Black Flag, as the naval Warfare takes on a whole new dimension in the latest addition to the Assassins Creed Franchise.
Control feel: 8 / 10
The controls follow the same pattern as previous games in the Assassins Creed franchise however with Assassins Creed IV Black Flag they are quite sluggish and unresponsive at times. Running sometimes feels little more than a fast walk, and when you are sprinting, the directional movement can be quite difficult to control, especially when moving over rooftops or in trees. On land is one thing but once you take to the high seas it becomes a completely different game. The ships controls are much more responsive. You have to adjust the track of the ship as the wind direction will influence how much drift the ship is susceptible to, however once you master how your speed and wind direction effects the maneuverability of your ship you will quickly become adept at hunting and defeating enemy ships.
Players new to Assassins Creed will find the 'Help Prompts' very useful, experienced Assassins will also find the Naval Warfare 'Prompts' helpful as there is much more emphasis on the Naval aspect than in Assassins Creed 3.
In previous Assassins Creed Games you had to return to the Assassins Lair to be able to do upgrades and alter load-out, in Assassins Creed IV the ship is your Assassins Lair making it easier to upgrade and change load-out throughout the game.
You still have to go ashore and visit shops to resupply certain ammunition and purchase specific items. One very handy feature of Assassins Creed IV is that you can purchase the Hunting Items you need to craft certain upgrades. So the player has the choice of hunting the animal for its Hide or Bones or simply buying them in the store.
Graphics: 8 / 10
At first glance the graphics look stunning, however when you look closely this is not always the case. Shadowing is inaccurate at times as it shows pixelisation around the edges of the main items. Rendering and skin tones on the main characters at first glance are good however on closer inspection they are patchy. The colours used enrich the environment as they are bright and vibrant.
Eagle vision is a little different and has a new feature where you can track up to 10 targets at once, even behind cover. This can be a little confusing at first, as you are looking at the target while it is behind walls and buildings, it makes judging distances a little difficult at first. Hunting or chasing animals is the most awkward as the animals are fast moving and may be behind a tree but is still plainly visible to the hunter, but the player will quickly adapt to this feature.
The flaws in the graphics may only be on the Xbox 360 as the game was obviously designed for the next gen Xbox One. Although I have played this for a very short time on a next generation console I was not aware of these imperfections at the time.
Sound: 7 / 10
The sound in Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is adequate but is nothing special; sound effects are relatively realistic if a little basic. Speech can be quite difficult to hear some times, even when the sound is adjusted.
The singing of sea shanty's very quickly becomes annoying and can't seem to be turned off.
I played the sound both through the TV and through a headset, and while I found the sound good, it did not blow me away. You will find that you hear the sound better through the headset as you are more aware of the water lapping against rocks for example than you are through your TV.
Gameplay: 7/10
You play the part of Edward Kenway father of Haytham Kenway and Grandfather of Connor Kenway from Assassins Creed III. Playing as Edward Kenway, it is the same old story, good guy verses bad guy, Assassins verses Templars.
You start the game as a privateer, and have to capture your own ship; the Jackdaw and upgrade it to become a formidable Pirate Captain with an infamous Pirate Ship. All of the Assassins Creed favourites are still included, climbing buildings and trees, stalking enemy's and animals, crafting, assassination contracts, open combat and the continuation of a personal favorite of mine from Assassins Creed III Naval warfare are all in abundance in Assassins Creed IV Black Flag.
The Naval Combat is much more intense than in the previous game and you spend much more time at see, you also get to hunt Sharks and Whales which is a nice new feature this time around. As you upgrade your Pirate Ship, you can engage much more formidable ships and can engage in battle with multiple enemies from the Spanish or English Fleets. As you become more infamous you will also be hunted by Pirate Bounty Hunters. You can find yourself in open Combat with loads of enemy's so far I have had 16 English, Spanish and Bounty Hunter, Fidgets, Brigs and Man-O-Wars at the same time. It is exceptionally satisfying to come out of this as the victor, and extremely rewarding, as the financial rewards in the game for this are vast.
There is an abundance of side missions where you take on Assassination Contracts, hunt for buried treasure, attack and capture Enemy Forts, collect Mayan Treasure and Special Keys. There is a massive expanse of map to explore and all of the ships you will encounter are real and did exist, including several legendary ships such as the HMS Prince which was a Royal Navy 98 gun Flagship which saw active service at the Battle of Trafalgar. With your 42 Guns, 4 Chain Shot and Chase Cannons and twin Mortars, this takes some doing to defeat these ships and you have to rely on all of your wits and cunning to engage and survive a contact with these legendary ships.
There is a lot of the usual sneaking about from cover to cover, remaining undetected as you stealthily approach you target area to steal something or complete a daring assassination.
The gameplay becomes quite repetitive whether you are playing on land or at sea, however as you upgrade your character or your ship, you become better at performing specific actions which allow you to do certain elements of the game easier or more effectively.
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is not a new game, it is a continuation of the Assassins Creed Franchise; unfortunately it does not seem to make the leap that was promised.
While still an excellent game in its own right, it lacks any new concepts or ideas other than expanding on the already tried and tested favourites. The leaps forward in graphic and game play have simply not materialised.
How Assassins Creed IV Black Flag will appear on the Xbox One is still to be seen but on the Xbox 360 it is simply the next game in the series nothing more. However it has to be stated that this is an excellent addition to the Assassins Creed Franchise and will supply the player with hours of enjoyment, don't expect to complete Assassins Creed IV Black flag in a few hours, it is likely you will still be playing this well after Christmas if you want to complete the whole game.
