tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-13:51744 I am the Kat that Walks By Itself and all places are alike to me Kathryn A. 2015-02-18T05:22:24Z tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-13:51744:1028056 Random Bits And Pieces 2015-02-18T04:02:34Z 2015-02-18T05:22:24Z sore public 11 The weather today doesn't know what it's doing... or maybe my wardrobe doesn't. Put on a cardigan and I'm too hot, take off the cardigan and I'm too cold. 8-(

Went and picked up a parcel from the Post (Australia Post: "We don't deliver") Office; discovered my ID was in my other bag. But they're a friendly bunch there, they know me by sight, so they accepted my credit card as ID. And now I have parcel with CLOTHES. Not very exciting clothes, but still, CLOTHES.

One nice thing about being forced to go to the post office (which is not within walking distance, but a few bus-stops away) is that in that cluster of shops, there is a Middle-Eastern market - no, not a bazaar, a kind of "general store", a supermarket-without-the-super. Like you get Asian markets (well, you do in Australia) where they are full of Asian food like a thousand kinds of noodles, and dried fish, and salted plums and all that sort of thing. Only this was all middle-eastern and southern European food, like Tahini and Dukka and lots of nuts and dried beans... and Halva (Halwa). I'm not into plain Halva or Pistachio Halva but I do like a bit of Chocolate Halva every now and then. And this is one of the few places I know that I can get it. So I looked on the shelf where the Halva usually is... no chocolate. I looked again, up and down the shelves. No chocolate. But I did see some "Persian cotton candy" which is rather nice stuff; spun sugar, but more dense than traditional Western cotton candy. So I picked that up off the shelf and took it to the counter. I mentioned that I'd come in for chocolate Halva but there wasn't any, and I'm very glad I did mention it (I normally would not have) because the shop keeper looked surprised, went to the shelf, double-checked that there indeed was no chocolate Halva on the shelf, but said "We do have chocolate Halva", went to the fridge and pulled out a big block of chocolate Halva, and asked me how much I wanted. I said "250 grams" and he cut me off a chunk from the block (269 grams, near enough). So, yay, I got some Chocolate Halva!

My foot aches from the walking though. Fortunately, I'm seeing my regular physio today (as distinct from the other physio in the practice, whom I had to see last week and the week before because my regular physio was on holidays). Yes, my foot has improved muchly (annoying ache is much better than stabbing pain) but it is still annoying.

So, please, peoples, can you give me recs? Recs for fic, recs for music, recs for novels. Ones which are uplifting, happy, cheering. Maybe even fluffy.

The timing was unfortunate because there was a time-critical thing going on at work (handover of a project) and I simply could not be there. Viruses were battling it out in my body, my throat felt like wet sandpaper, and I was utterly exhausted. Mostly sleeping and drinking lemon honey tea with Lemsip in it. And then when my throat improved, my nose chimed in (which was odd, usually the throat follows the nose). Now I'm in the blowing-the-nose-and-coughing stage (and still v tired).
( When I wasn't sleeping, I thought I'd do stuff that didn't require a great many brain cells )

A completely new one. So maybe there's hope of participating in the sshg_promptfest after all, if I can come up with four more(*). The really difficult ones are the art ones, since I want to make art prompts that I myself would want to do, which means something more emotional/symbolic than representational. Wish me luck?

In other news, I have a horrible sore throat. (sigh)

(*) Note that it isn't a requirement of the fest to provide prompts, it's just that I find it less fun if I don't, because I want to inspire as well as be inspired.

Not quite like a spike being driven through my ear; more like an occasional jab with a blunt knife, plus someone applying a vice to my teeth (referred pain, how I wish you hadn't been invented). Two strong pain pills: nada. Third pain pill now taken. I think it's time for the hot chocolate. (goes off to make hot chocolate).

Hopefully that will keep me from nodding off. This is the first time I've ever made coffee this strong. No, I do not make a habit of strong coffee; that would sabotage the main reason for drinking strong coffee: as a stimulant.

Rang up Dr. Mum. Her advice: hot chocolate, nice book, read for an hour, take another tablet; listen to music for another hour, take another tablet. And if I still can't sleep, don't stress about it, just take a sick day tomorrow. We shall see.
There may be persons in the UK or USA who will be getting an unexpected phone call from me tonight.

|OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at http://www.osha.gov.
This Subpart applies to all . . . ladders used in construction . . .Section 1926.1053 (Ladders) begins with the following provision:
(a) General. The following requirements apply to all ladders as indicated, including job-made ladders.The section contains requirements for three different types of ladders -- self-supporting portable ladders, non-self-supporting portable ladders, and fixed ladders. In §1926.1050(b), the standard defines a portable ladder as:
a ladder that can be readily moved or carried.The ladder you describe cannot be moved without dismantling the securing system at the top and bottom of the ladder. Therefore, it is not a portable ladder.
A ladder that cannot be readily moved or carried because it is an integral part of the building or structure.The ladder you describe meets the definition of a fixed ladder because it becomes an "integral part of the . . .structure" once it is installed, and then "cannot be readily moved or carried." Therefore, it must meet the requirements in Subpart X applicable to fixed ladders.
Non-self-supporting ladders shall be used at an angle such that the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is approximately one-quarter of the working length of the ladder (the distance along the ladder between the foot and the top support).There is another provision, §1926.1053(b)(5)(iii), that specifies the required angle for fixed ladders:
Fixed ladders shall be used at a pitch no greater than 90 degrees from the horizontal, as measured to the back side of the ladder.Since the cable ladder you describe is considered a fixed ladder, §1926.1053(b)(5)(iii) applies with respect to the required angle.
Ladders shall have nonconductive side rails if they are to be used where the employee or the ladder could contact exposed energized electrical equipment, except as provided by §1926.951(c)(1) of this part.29 CFR 1926.951(c)(1) is a provision within Subpart V (Power Transmission and Distribution), which allows conductive ladders to be used when doing a particular type of power transmission and distribution construction work.1 It states:
Portable metal or conductive ladders shall not be used near energized lines or equipment except as may be necessary in specialized work such as in high voltage substations where nonconductive ladders might present a greater hazard than conductive ladders . . .The metal cable ladder is considered a conductive ladder (with conductive side rails). However, §1926.951(c)(1) is applicable only where the work being done is power transmission and distribution construction work.

|Limited utility of algorithms predicting blood transfusions.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23149137 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Prediction of transfusion is presumed to reduce wastage rates in pre-operative autologus blood donation (PABD) and unnecessary providing and cross-matching in allogeneic transfusion. The clinical utility of published algorithms in predicting transfusions was analysed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cohort of 195 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, after PABD, expected transfusion needs were predicted with two published algorithms (A and B). The algorithms were then compared to actual transfusions. Assumptions and formulae of these algorithms were varied in an attempt to improve their prognostic utility. RESULTS: The optimal variation of A resulted in allogeneic transfusions (PABD setting) or uncross-matched transfusions (allogeneic setting) of 27.3%, and a wastage rate of autologous units or unnecessary cross-matching of 73.8%, compared to 33.3% and 76.6%, respectively, for the original algorithm. The original version of algorithm B resulted in (allogeneic) transfusions of 78.8%, and a wastage rate or unnecessary cross-matching of 46.2%. The former could be improved by a variation of the algorithm to 69.7%. Comparing the optimal variations of both algorithms, the more elaborate algorithm A reduced overall transfusion risk significantly better (P = 0.001). The two algorithms were not statistically different in reducing resource consumption (P = 0.09). DISCUSSION: Although the prognostic utility of algorithm A was significantly better for reducing overall transfusion risk, both algorithms were unable to meaningfully identify patients who would benefit from PABD or cross-matching. The algorithms could not increase the percentage of PABD patients transfused, or the percentage of cross-matched patients transfused in the allogeneic setting. Furthermore, they could neither reduce transfusion risk nor resource consumption.

Alice in Wonderland (sometimes listed as Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Comedy) is a 1976 pornographic musical film, loosely based on Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was directed by Bud Townsend and starred Terri Hall, Bree Anthony, and Kristine DeBell. The theatrical release of the film was on December 10, 1976 in the USA. On May 26–27 it was shown at the Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle, Washington during Satellites 2000: Screens From Outer Space.
The film initially received an X-rating in 1976 and subsequently, an R-rating a year later with three minutes cut from the film. It was later re-released on VHS with a somewhat grandiose title roll preceding the movie noting that quite a bit of hardcore footage had originally been shot, but "could not be included" at the time. It was released in mainstream cinemas and grossed over $90 million globally.[1]
Plot summary[edit]
Alice (Kristine DeBell) offends her boyfriend William (Ron Nelson) by rejecting his advances. Upset, she falls asleep reading Alice in Wonderland. The white rabbit (Larry Gelman) appears to her in a dream and takes her into a sexual wonderland. The story loosely follows Carroll's original plot, and includes many of his characters, but with considerable sexual license.

The film was produced by adult film mogul Bill Osco, the producer of the first mainstream adult film, Mona (1970), and its sequel Harlot (1971), as well as the comedy/stop motion effects hit, Flesh Gordon (1974). Osco chose to make as his next project a musical pornographic version of the Lewis Carroll novel, finding that the story rights were in the public domain. The result was an X-rated feature which was picked up by 20th Century Fox, who cut three minutes to obtain an R-Rating.
Alice was circulated as an R-rated version in VHS format by Media Home Entertainment, while the hardcore version was also available on VHS. Both have long been out of print. In December 2007, Subversive Cinema released a DVD containing the original X-rated and hardcore versions, fully restored,[2] and available through mainstream DVD retail outlets.
Off-Broadway musical[edit]
In 2007, an Off-Broadway musical based on his Alice in Wonderland was staged at the Kirk Theatre in New York City. Osco was credited with writing the book.[3] The show was entitled Alice in Wonderland: An Adult Musical Comedy and flyers advertising it were designated "For Mature Audiences Only". The show was set in a trailer park in Weehawken, New Jersey.[3]

As a former surfer and scuba diver I have been following this thread with interest. The housing David mentioned is the Rolleimarine. In the '60's you could buy a plexiglas housing for most any camera. It would seem to me that just about any M/F housing would be from 20 to 40 years old. That would mean replacing all of the O-rings at the very least. That means the exact O-rings. And be sure to lube with petroleum jelly.
A holga is one thing, taking a prime Rollei TLR or a 'Blad and sticking it into a 30 year old housing of unknown history is bad idea.
You can buy a new Nikonons V and O-ring kits from B&H. This is where 35mm shines.

debit card
debit card, card that allows the cost of goods or services that are purchased to be deducted directly from the purchaser's checking account. They can also be used at automated teller machines for withdrawing cash from the user's checking account. Increasingly common in the 1990s as an alternative to credit cards, debit cards have been promoted as safer than cash and more convenient than personal checks. By 1998 more than 73 million debit cards had been issued, with a sales volume of $134.7 million attributed to their use. They are typically issued by large credit-card companies through their participating banks. Debit cards offer the holder more limited legal protections than credit cards. Similar cards have also been used to distribute welfare benefits to recipients in some locales.

KFC isn't part of my usual remit as this newspaper's restaurant critic, but a northern suburban outlet of the fast-food ''restaurant'' (to borrow the jargon of its multinational owners) was Wednesday's fluoro-lit destination. The attraction was the release of the Double Down, a burger purpose-built for a brave new world. The Double-D ditches the bun for protein, protein and dairy-derived protein: two deep-fried pieces of chicken standing in for the bread, sandwiching two rashers of bacon, two slices of cheese and a sweet, sweet barbecue sauce.
It was first released in the US a year ago, where it became, depressingly but not unexpectedly, a hit. KFC, the company that retreated to the safety of initials when its marketing whizzes decided people were put off by the word ''fried'', couldn't keep up with demand.
A Facebook page - purportedly established by Australian KFC fans although anyone with a modicum of cynicism might suspect darker forces at work - immediately implored the Kentucky-based company not to deny us their calorific Godzilla. For the greater glory of our waistlines (540 calories wrapped up in 35.7 grams of fat, by the Colonel's own calculations) their prayers have finally been answered.
The Double Down has had plenty of brickbats along with its bouquets. People who ought to know have called it an atrocity, before pulling off the gloves and really saying what they think. The New York Times restaurant critic Sam Sifton concluded: ''It is, in all, a disgusting meal, a must to avoid.'' I would respectfully argue he doesn't go far enough, and should finish with the additional flourish of ''at all costs''.
A guilty pleasure minus the pleasure, the Double Down rewards forensic investigation with the following inventory: sort-of-crunchy chicken breasts, so very white, so very soft, that speak of the terroir of the factory farm; pale yellow cheese that tastes of nothing yet melds itself to everything like tar; streaky bacon, a lip-tingling sodium bomb that could alone be used to justify a desal plant; and that sweet barbecue sauce, as though the folk in the test kitchen decided it needed some sort of balance. My heart did start beating faster, but it wasn't love. Remorse and self-hatred followed the Double Down's consumption like a forgotten side dish.
It's fair to say I'm not the target audience for the svengalis behind the Double Down. They're marketing it as a man-sized ''occasional'' treat, which might just cover them against class actions (incidentally, the same tactic is employed by Sesame Street's new-age Cookie Monster).
The cardboard box converts into a do-not-disturb door-handle sign that warns ''mantime in progress'', which prompts the even more unappetising mental leap from junk food to sexual activity - unspecified, but presumably solo.
Despite my cognitive abilities being compromised by an orgy of saturated fat, it's not too difficult to recognise these fast-food Frankensteins (Hungry Jacks' 12-patty Whopper springs to mind; ditto Maccas' Double Quarter Pounder) for what they really are: marketing gimmicks dressed up as lunch. They're the flip side of the coin to their - let's bring out the inverted commas again - ''healthy'' alternatives that have been proven to induce customers into their stores, only to sell more burgers and fries.
The Double Down would be just another quirky marketing story if the message sent by its just-add-Pepsi success wasn't so sad. For all our ''foodie'' ways (a term I despise, but it conveys the meaning effectively), we're still a nation addicted to the fast and the fried.
If we can't look in the mirror to see a nation of fatty-boom-bah hypocrites heading to an early grave after clogging up hospitals with avoidable ailments, this freakish fried sandwich ought to drive the reality home.
An ugly snapshot of who we really are, as opposed to what we believe ourselves to be, it's food for eating with no sense of ceremony, no sense of civility, and certainly no cutlery. The only way to really optimise the experience is adding a TV.
So don't let me stop you. Go ahead, eat it if you will. The Double Down is a big bunless whoop, a finger at the adage that you are what you eat. It's a dare wrapped in branded paper, an overt show of machismo. To paraphrase Paul Hogan: ''That's not a clogged artery. This is a clogged artery.'' But don't go getting too proud of yourself.
Despite its excess it's still pipped at the post, calorie-wise, by the likes of the Big Mac, although you could argue the latter's lettuce and pickle gives it the edge on the healthy-eating pyramid.
The publicity the Double Down has received here has, unsurprisingly, mimicked the US, with nutritionists and concerned private citizens who like to ingest their food in less forceful quantities making the usual noises about government regulation, an idea almost as quaint as it is impossible.
Well might the forces of authority bring down a prohibition on one of the more disturbing ends of a multibillion-dollar industry, but going by a depressing snapshot at a suburban greasy spoon this week, no one can save us from ourselves.

November 29, 2015
Alabama residents may soon be allowed to kill in order to protect their home or vehicle. A new bill passed in the state Legislature is intended to expand the "deadly force" law.
Whether or not to shoot may not be a question if anyone surprised by an intruder. The Alabama House has given final approval to a bill that would expand reasons for victims to kill for protection.
The bill specifically allows deadly force to be used in cases ranging from home burglary to rape, sodomy, and even carjacking. Then it protects the victim from criminal or civil lawsuits. It also protects law enforcement officers under the same circumstances.
"I think basically it's going to help them, but more importantly would help the average citizen. In other words, they don't have to retreat anymore. In other words, to what point do you have to be subjected to being shot, injured, and stabbed when you can use deadly physical force?" said Doug Valeska, District Attorney - 20th Circuit.
The House passed the bill 82-9; however, while most legislators seem to support the bill, a minority of lawmakers are concerned it will allow people to be accidentally killed.
Valeska said, "That's a little bit of concern, but no longer should criminals be able to take advantage of law-abiding citizens."
There is a very good chance this bill will soon become law. Gov. Bob Riley has said he supports it and will most likely sign it because of the overwhelming support of the Legislature.
The bill is backed by the National Rifle Association. Similar legislation has also been adopted in Florida, Indiana and South Dakota.

Altus Captain will bike, run 250 miles to honor fallen heroes
Air Force Captain Chris Pace, 58th Airlift Squadron instructor pilot, is planning to bike from Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, for approximately 150 miles and then run another 100 miles to Ground Zero in New York City, Sept. 10 to11, without stopping to rest. "I am going to finish. Whether I have to walk the last 50 miles or however far it is, I am going to finish. I have told myself that," Capt. Pace said about his upcoming challenge. "No one is going to let me stop, I have already told my family not to try and stop me. It is going to be very mentally and physically demanding." Pace is calling his athletic quest the "Journey of Freedom" and he is doing it in support of The Disposable Heroes Project, a non-profit organization that supports wounded and fallen warriors and their families.

The records in a Dynamic Data List are composed of various field types such as text, date, integer, check box, etc. These can be published as workflow-enabled forms that capture user information in different ways such as an RSVP, for tasks tracking, or for managing issues. This Dynamic Data List Form app allows you to display dynamic forms to users, allowing them to enter information in predefined lists. This app can also be configured to use a template to display the list in different ways depending on whether the user is viewing the entire list, or the details of a specific list record.

How would relocate masters and import them (in LR) be any different the export originals and include IPTC information?
Lightroom doesn't read XMP files that belong to JPEG or TIFF files, so exporting originals with XMP files doesn't work for non raw-files. I forgot that you can also write the IPTC into the exported files. That would indeed not be much different, except that you need enough disk space to have two copies of each image.

Illustration by Bob AulI don't know your name, but I'll call you Chucky. You ride a skateboard. Your mom told you to "take that fucking noise somewhere else." Somewhere else is in front of my apartment. Now that I think of it, I wouldn't call it riding a skateboard; I'd call it flipping a skateboard—and failing at it. You wear all that protection for what? You don't "ride" anywhere. All I hear is "flip, fail, flip, fail." Why don't you replace the wheels with four pegs since you don't technically ride the fucker? By the way, when I was your age, guys took the metal wheels off their sister's skates, screwed them to a board, and went flying every time we hit a pebble. Helmets, elbow and knee pads? Never heard of them, so that makes you a pussy, too. I've got an idea: Why don't you sell your board and use the money to purchase a Hustler mag and a bottle of lotion and be happy being successful at something that every teenage boy is good at?

ATLANTA — After a year of golfing, hanging with his sons, and watching a lot of baseball, Chipper Jones is ready to roll his sleeves up again — as a rancher.
The former Braves third baseman, who has made Atlanta his home for the past 22 years, is preparing to move to his ranch in southwest Texas and take over the commercial hunting operation that has been run by his parents, Larry and Lynne Jones.
With a goal of making sure the ranch can pay for itself, Jones will host hunts, immersing himself in a passion that's been a close second to baseball throughout his life.
"I always had in the back of my mind, even throughout my playing days, that I would retire out there one day," Jones said. "It is without a doubt my favorite place on the planet."
Jones said he always figured that day would come after his sons graduated from high school, but with the hunting business struggling in recent years, he moved up the timetable.
He is determined to get the 10,000-acre Double Dime Ranch, named for the No. 10 jersey both he and his father wore, on better financial footing.
His goal is to sell 75 deer hunts for next hunting season. This deer hunting season isn't over, and as word has begun to trickle out about his plans, he's gotten nearly 30 hunts on the books. They sold about a half-dozen last year.
"It's very hard to get enough business in to make this place pay for itself," Larry Jones said. "As soon as we started putting his name out as going to be here, whoa, business just flocked."
Jones said his youngest sons, Trey 13, Shea, 9, and Tristan, 8, will remain in Atlanta with their mother, with whom he shares custody, but they'll make regular visits to the ranch. And his oldest son Matthew, 15, who lives in Michigan, hopes to spend a considerable amount of time in Texas to work with his father and grandfather on his baseball skills. He hopes to play professionally.
Jones' girlfriend, Taylor Higgins, and her 3-year-old son Bryson will move to Texas as well, taking part in running the hunting business.
"Everybody in the family enjoys it," Jones said. "Everybody hunts. My three oldest have all harvested deer, including Shea. He killed one last year when he was 8."
As for hosting all the hunters who come to the Double Dime, Jones said he looks forward to that as well. It will be his top priority during hunting season, over traveling the Midwest to get footage for "Major League Bowhunter," a show he hosts on the Sportsman Channel.
"I'm a guy who loves deer camp," Jones said. "I like meeting new people and hanging out with them around a campfire and the dinner table and just shooting the breeze and answering questions. I enjoy all that."
Jones plans to move to Texas by the end of the summer, as soon as renovations are complete on the house he typically uses for short visits.
Jones has lived in Atlanta since 1992, when he was making his way up the minor league ladder as the Braves' No. 1 draft pick in 1990. He plans to keep his home in Roswell, at least for the first year or so, "in case we get cold feet, but I don't expect that to happen."
Jones' parents chuckle at the thought of Chipper enduring his first summer in the south Texas heat. "We had one summer where we had 97 straight days of over 100 degrees," his father said. The pace of living 10 to 15 miles away from the nearest town is a lot different from Atlanta. "You can't go to a concert once a week," Lynne Jones said. "And go out to a nice dinner and a movie and stuff like that."
They have two full-time ranch hands who help with the cattle business and the horses for his mother, a professional equestrian. But there is plenty of work ahead for Jones. For a guy who grew up on a 10-acre fern farm in tiny Pierson, Fla. it's like coming full circle. His parents are both "super excited" about it, Lynne said.
"He has always known what he wanted and gone for it," she said. "So I'm sure not going to stand in his way on this one. He's a lot like his dad in that."
His dad still thinks Jones will get back into baseball at some point down the road, whether it's coaching or broadcasting or both. Jones said he still envisions that at some point in the future, but his immediate plans are taken care of. In the meantime, "I've got cable," Jones said.
Jones' relationship with the Braves has been a little strained lately, after the team took exception to his prediction on an Atlanta radio show that the Braves would lose their division series in four games. Rather than sending a player to catch Jones' ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 against the Dodgers, the Braves had team mascot "Homer" do it, which Jones took as a sign of disrespect. Rather than walking back through the dugout, he went straight into the stands and didn't go the clubhouse like he often does after games.
"It's nothing that I won't get over," Jones said this week. "In fact, I'm pretty much over it now. It's just some things were said that I didn't appreciate and obviously I said some things that weren't appreciated."
Jones said he gave his unbiased opinion as a regular broadcast contributor and thought it should have been taken "with a grain of salt and brushed off." Ultimately, he turned out to be correct. The Braves lost to the Dodgers in four games.
Don't be surprised to see Jones at Turner Field some this summer before he moves.
"I'm sure one of these days you'll see me back around in some way shape or form," Jones said.

A recent marketing research survey by Quality Education Data indicates that Apple's once-dominant education presence has shrunk drastically over the last decade. When district officials were asked which computer brand they plan to purchase during the 2002-2003 school year, 35 percent said Dell, while 21 percent said Apple. As recently as 1996, Apple had more than 41 percent of K-12 computer sales. A year later, the company's share dropped to 26.8 percent. Faced with a declining market share, Apple has made a number of moves over the past two years, to help reverse the slide: in 2001, Apple acquired PowerSchool; in response to educators who thought the flat-screen iMac was too pricey and fragile for classrooms Apple debuted the eMac; last month, Apple said it would give a free copy of Mac OS X, 10.2 "Jaguar" to every K-12 teacher in North America; also recently, Apple unveiled its "Curriculum Mobile Labs."
11:00 pm (12/4): The Macworld Conference and Expo planned for Tokyo this coming March has been cancelled, following a decision by Apple -- and subsequently by other key vendors -- not to exhibit. An unidentified IDG spokeswoman told MacUser that Apple had made the decision not to attend several weeks ago, and IDG had failed to convince the company to reconsider. After it was apparent Apple would not have a presence at the highly-popular event, Adobe, Macromedia and Microsoft decided to pull out. When asked if IDG would offer a public explanation, the spokeswoman said the company had no plans to make an official announcement of the cancellation, and would not be posting a notice on its Web site, because no official show announcement had been made.
Apple has received two nominations for the 2003 BETT Awards, according to Macworld UK. The nominations are in the "Hardware Primary" and "Hardware Secondary" categories, for eMac and iMac products, respectively. Apple has been the recipient of BETT Awards for the past two years.
The Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (lafcpug), along with leaders of the Boston, San Francisco and Chicago FCP groups will gather for a special "meeting" at the upcoming DV Expo.

Additionally, Cawan Starks of Promax will demo DeckLink, Digital Anarchy's Jim Tierney will premiere two new plug-ins, Noah Kadner will show the side-by-side results of a Panasonic DVX100 24P/Sony PD 150 showdown, and finally Nate Weaver will present a video produced with the Panasonic DVX100.

This aftermarket service makes laser engraving accessible to iPod owners who purchased their devices prior to Apple offering custom engraving. The recent price reduction coincides with Apple's special holiday engraving pricing ($20).
Sydney-based telco company Apple Communications was forced to change its name and pay $100,000 in "compensation" for the use of 'Apple' in its name, according to Australian IT: "Apple Computer Australia says it's simple: The company has owned the global naming rights of the popular fruit since the computer boom of the early 1980s. The only exception is made for fruiterers, although a quick glance through the phone book turns up any number of possible offenders."

What is the method that we can use instead of the Java reflection API? How can we define it? A source code example will be helpful.
closed as not a real question by Tom Medley, G_H, skaffman, Mat, Dave Newton Nov 18 '11 at 13:45
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
JDK 1.6 has the ability to dynamically compile Java classes (see getSystemJavaCompiler). If you don't want to use reflection (we're using dynamic compilation for performance reasons) then this is a reasonable approach.
Create a Java source file from a string containing the code:
Then you load the newly created class files dynamically.
Alternatively, use byte code manipulation (such as ASM) to create classes on the fly.
Both of these methods are a good deal more complex than standard reflection, but can have significant performance improvements over reflection.
Usually when you use the Reflection API, that's because you need to dynamically access the content of a class, and there is no other way to do it. Please add more details (what exactly are you trying to achieve?) if you want a more detailled answer :)

Hey, it's tough times in the Bronx
Trailing two games to one in ALCS, the Yankees' proverbial backs are to the wall
Originally Published: October 18, 2010By Jim Caple | ESPN.com
NEW YORK -- Darn. If this keeps up, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg may have to change his ticker-tape parade route a little. Like, perhaps begin it in Texas.
Still, New York may be down 2-1 in this series after Monday's 8-0 loss to Texas, but momentum in baseball is only as good as your starting pitcher so the Yankees can turn everything around very quickly. Here's how:
Plan A: Cliff Lee files for free agency and signs a $150 million contract with New York before Game 7.
Plan ...
