So, this is basically just copied right from my journal..But I'd like opinions on it, because I really have no idea why she'd do this.
Soo..I found something out today about Alahna and people..I've been wondering what her issue is about someone coming up to her in her stall, but couldn't find any type of explanation..Well, BO's boyfriend is here for the week and had me realize (it didn't even click until he actually explained and didn't just show me) that it's only females she pins her ears at and occasionally bares teeth..She perked her ears up for him and as soon as I took a step toward her they were pinned flat against her head again. So I think tomorrow I'll be going to the barn and sitting/standing outside her stall for a few hours to see if that'll change anything.I've never done anything but take her out and put her back in a stall, but obviously there's something about her being in a stall and a female walking up. Come to think of it, at the last barn she'd perk her ears up at Charles and then pin them at me, even when I was bringing food.It's only when she's stalled though. Not when she's tied, standing, turned out, etc.
So..any ideas, experiences, etc?
I'm pretty sure the guy's wife I bought her from use to feed her and their other horses, and she was apparently terrified of her..I honestly believe something happened to her while she was stalled at one point though, be it from when she was at the track or her other owners up to me.

I bought this stuff as a sort of backup emergency liner. I was digging through my makeup (surprise) and saw it still in its packaging and decided to give it a go. I had nowhere to be so I drew a big dramatic cat eye and went on with my day. Later that night I took a peep in the mirror and WHAT? This stuff stays on like I owe it money. The payoff is good, especially for a marker liner. I sort of lugged when the commercial was like "it has a .4 mm tip" but it goes on as precise as a gel liner and brush. I can bang out a great look in three minutes, I LOVE THIS LINER!

I used to absolutely love this eyeliner in the beginning but now I don't feel that strongly about it anymore. Pros: sleek packaging, great for the price, easy to make thin and precise lines, and a nice pigmented black colour (not a greyish black). Cons: durability isn't the best as it did slightly smudge after about 2-3hours, the product sometimes gets on the part beneath the lid, the nib gets dry after a while and doesn't work properly, and the colour becomes inconsistent in pigmentation (also after some time).

Pretty good eyeliner, taking into consideration the affordable price.
I personally find the long, flexible felt tip of this eyeliner easy to use. If you prefer a more, er, rigid (? lol) tip for your eyeliners, then this might not be the one for you!
Goes on nicely pigmented and black. Would not call this smudge proof or massively long lasting - for the price though, it does a decent job. Would recommend using a setting spray or taking this along with you for touch-ups if you're going to be wearing this eyeliner for a long amount of time.
Also, I've had this liner for quite a while and it hasn't started to dry up at all yet, which is pretty snazzy.
If you're looking for a new decent, reasonably priced drugstore eyeliner, I'd say give this one a go.

As much as i love these felt tip liners (quicker and smoother to apply than gel and easier than liquid) I always feel that the usage out of them is bad. This eyeliner is better than most others I have used. I often find that they get finished so quickly but this one did last me about 2 months, longer than any of my other ones. Also I found that this is one of the few felt tip liners that did both eyes very black instead of the first black and the 2nd a sortof off grey as the pigmentation ran out. The tip was perfect, thin enough to create perfect pointed wings and to get a thin line across the lid, but also thick enough to build it up to a thick liner if wanted. To ensure this lasts all day, I usually apply it ontop of a primer and put a small bit of black eyeshadow or waterproof liner on top

This is my HG eyeliner. I've seriously been using this for longer than I remember, Atleast 2-3 years, and since I've had it I've had absolutely zero desire to try anything else, no matter how many people rave about another new eyeliner. I'm very confused to the ratings on here. I have very hooded eyes, and this stuff has never given me a problem. To me, it's never made a mess, smudged, or creased. And it dries in like 2 seconds. I've cried in this and worked out hard in this and not a budge. I'm not sure if some people on here just don't know how to apply eyeliner but this is the best eyeliner hands down. Yes, it does dry out quicker than most bc it's felt tip. But I get a good solid 2 1/2 - 3 months. And the money is totally worth it. Felt tip is something you have to get used to. I stock pile this bc I'm scared they will discontinue. Try it and give it time to figure out how to work it.

Okay so I really didn't like this product. It was hard to apply on my eyes (wouldn't apply the wing eyeliner right?) and it creased and wore off so easily! For the price it was not worth a repurchase. Better off trying another ink pen liner at the drugstore as there are a ton of them out now! However, this might work for you but it did not work at all for me.

I really like this product. I usually have hooded lids that will crease midway during the day, but this liner does stay put. It's a really nice solid black line and you can get your liner on with one sweep. It's goes on smooth and it doesn't crack nor smudge throughout the day. The biggest con to this product is that when you trying to go over your line the product does not flow down to the felt tip quickly so you don't get that sharp flick for your cat eye. Even saying that, the liner is still great and I look forward to buying another one once mine runs out.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have oily hooded eyelids and this is the worst liquid eyeliner I have ever tried. In my opinion, even the ELF $1 liquid eyeliner is better than this because this eyeliner smears like crazy. Even after 2-3 hours, the liner already started transferring to the top part of my eyelid. This is definitely not the dupe for the Stila liquid eyeliner.
smears easily
the applicator is too long and not precise
gives raccoon eyes
the price is decent
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine

This is a great liquid eyeliner. It glides on and wears all day. As I've gotten older, it has been harder to wear liquid liner because it "squiggles" on my lash line, lol. This liner doesn't tug or skip on my crepey lids. It applies smoothly with little effort. The black is very black, and the tip is thin, so you can build your line width gradually. Love it!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

- smudged terribly in like less than half an hour, it was all over my lids. I have hooded eyelids that aren't that oily.
- definitely not a dupe for the stila eyeliner as the formula isn't up to par in term of staying power.
- THIS SKIPS! even drawing a line on the back of my hand is in consistence let alone making it work on the eye.
- Works slightly better if you draw your line in one stroke than using little strokes. My hopes were too high for this product.

Margie and Ray's Restaurant was established in 1964 as a small country store and tackle shop which was owned and operated by Ray and Margie Blanton. This landmark building located on a dirt road, now known as Sandbridge Road, served as a convenience for local Sandbridge residents. The store was passed on to their son Thomas in 1997 where it was renovated into a small seafood restaurant. Over the past several years Margie and Ray's has become known as one of the top seafood establishments in the southern end of Virginia Beach. It continues to be operated by Thomas Blanton.

Moody's assigns negative outlook to Israel Electric
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the debt ratings of Israel Electric (IEC) by two notches to Baa2 from A3 and assigned a negative ratings outlook.
The rating action concludes the review that was initiated on November 12, 2002 due to the company's very high debt levels and weak financial profile, which have progressively worsened as the company continued its extensive capital expenditure program.
The standalone financial profile of Israel Electric is not characteristic of investment grade rated utilities, as the debt protection measures are extremely weak. Whilst the rated debt is not guaranteed by the government, Moody's has factored into its debt ratings the importance of the company to the State of Israel.
The company is owned by the Government and is the monopoly electricity generator and supplier. Moody's notes, however, that any support is implicit, and does not include legally binding protection, unlike the situation with some higher rated utilities.
Notwithstanding the intangible support, under the previous tariff structure the debt protection measures of the company deteriorated significantly. The tariff structure has recently been revised, and should enable a modest improvement in debt protection measures but Moody's expects these to remain weak. The company will be highly reliant on external financing in order to meet ongoing debt maturities as well as capital expenditure.
Moody's notes that the rating outlook could stabilize if the Government and/or the Public Utilities Authority take tangible steps to improve the financial profile of the company. Options may include a further restructuring of the tariff to improve free cash flow generation; a restraint on capital expenditure; or the Government directly taking on some of the future funding needs of the company.
Further rating pressure may develop over the course of the year if none of these measures are taken and the debt protection measures of the company deteriorate further. One of the measures that Moody's expects the company to meet for 2003 to maintain the rating at the Baa2 level is a retained cash flow of seven percent to debt.
Israel Electric is the monopoly electricity utility in Israel. It is owned 99.8 percent by the Government, and in 2001 reported a loss of about $11 million. — (menareport.com)

Looking to adopt.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost two years now. I have had several miscarraiges during that time. I am almost 33 so we are beginning to look into adoption because we know we are meant to be parents. There are so many websites on adoption. Can anyone recommend a trustoworthy site/ company?

american adoptions - they're very sweet. If things had worked out differently they'd have been the organization we went through to place our son for adoption. They can help hook you up with the right resources to get your home study and background checks done. Their turn around time seems to be fairly decent too - most of the families we looked at when considering placing our son last year have been matched to birth mothers.posted 03/23/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

The casual observer might think nothing of the candidacy of a fellow named Suhail Khan for election to one of two open seats on the Board of Directors of the American Conservative Union – the political Right's largest and most influential grassroots umbrella organization. Certainly, for most Americans, the man's faith would be of no interest. If the fact that Khan is an adherent to Islam were even known, it probably would be seen as an asset ¬– another Muslim-American seeking to become more involved in the political process just like, for example, Rep. Keith Ellison, the Muslim convert who recently won a Minnesota seat in the House of Representatives.
Something else appears to be at work here, however. The tip-off is the fact that anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, who sits on the ACU Board, is promoting Khan's candidacy. Even that association, however, could be construed as nothing more than a calculated effort by a skillful conservative operative to insinuate a reliable ally into a useful post as the former struggles to overcome the damage done to his reputation and influence – and that of the Republican Party – by his scandalous collaboration with convicted felon Jack Abramoff.
Unfortunately, there seems to be another and more insidious motivation for the Khan candidacy – one of a piece with a longstanding, if largely hidden, Norquist agenda that I first documented in these pages over three years ago. In a 12,000-word report titled"A Troubling Influence," published on December 9, 2003 with a validating introduction by David Horowitz, I described the nature and extent of Norquist's involvement in a political influence operation in the service of a number of Mr. Ellison's co-religionists. Most, like Suhail Khan, have troubling ties to individuals and organizations with well-established sympathies for the ideologues known as Islamists. Some of the latter have been directly tied to terrorism.
An Incomplete Resume
How many ACU members will be aware of this background as they cast their votes for the two open Board of Director seats – a process that is supposed to be concluded today – is unclear. After all, most will probably be voting on the basis of nothing more than the highly sanitized resumé supplied together with the ACU's on-line poll:

We were picked up from our hotel and taken to Victoria station where we were directed to our tour. The day was rainy and stormy but this did not ruin anything thanks to Frank our tour leader and Paola our coach driver from Premier Tours. Frank was very informative about anything we were seeing during the tour. Leeds Castle was lovely and then Dover and Canterbury Abbey and then the boat trip. Yes I would recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic way to spend my birthday.The tour of Leeds Castle before opening was incredible to do a tour without the crowds was amazing. The trip along the English Chanel offered some breath taking views. Canterbury was awesome the Cathedral was spectacular with its history and design.The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.She kept the tour moving that we were able to take in a lot of sights but at a leisurely pace.It was so sweet of her to buy me a ice cream for my birthday.I would recommend this tour highly and would do it again myself.

Sunny Afternoon
I had a very interesting date yesterday. It was an outdoor/afternoon date. We met at a coffee shop that was near a park and then walked to the park and sat outside.
The guy (he's going to need a nickname) got major points for planning. It was pretty much the perfect plan for yesterday, because the weather was lovely, but there was a chance of rain. In case of rain, we could have just stayed at the coffee shop.
The date itself went really well. Really, really well. But it didn't start off that way. He's a old-picture guy. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the photo he's currently using is at least 2 years old. Maybe older. I'm bad at guestimating these things, but I'd say he's put on at least 20 lbs since the picture was taken.
Now, as I've said before, I don't really care all that much if a guy in his forties is carrying around a spare tire. In fact, I pretty much expect it. What I do care about is when men essentially lie about their appearance by putting up really old pictures of themselves online. It annoys the hell out of me. And yet, it's so commonplace, that I've learned to overlook it. Kinda. I'll overlook it, but it does shade how I think about a guy.
We really hit it off, though. Just as soon as we started talking we hit a really smooth rhythm of chatting and interupting each other and chatting some more. And while it's certainly too early tell with any real certainty, I got the sense that we shared a very similar worldview.
There was something that happened that sorta freaked me out. He was talking and mentioned a prior job. And he mentioned the place he used to work, for many years. And it's someplace an ex of mine also worked (maybe still works, he and I did not end on good terms). Anyway, I had a momentary flipout. I don't think he noticed. But for a couple of seconds there I almost considered just leaving the date and never seeing this guy again on the slim chance that he and my ex used to work together and are now friends. But then I exhaled and realized I was being a freak. If they knew each other or still do know each other, well, I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. This guy seems like a really good guy. I'm not going to blow it over that stupid shit.
So, we're going out again Thursday night. He texted me last night to say what a nice time he had (as I was walking away, is this a new thing?). And then today he asked me out. I said yes and within an hour we had concrete plans (dinner, at a restaurant I know and like, all good).
So he needs a nickname. I guess I'll call him The European. He is. European. He's been here for about 20 years and is a US citizen now but he's distinctly European (and he loves NYC and says he'd never consider living anywhere else). That's a good thing in my book.

I still love frogs and lizards. :)
omg! so cute & adorable!!!
wow, how cool!
wow, brilliant, what a cute frog!
Reminds me of when I was a little girl, my sister and I made little blue nylon polka dot dresses for about 12 nice size frogs and put them all in a small coral. The next morning they were all gone! We were heart-broken. Many years later when I had young children of my own, our neighbor brought a little blue nylon polka dot dress over to my Mom her gardener had found in the hedge between our houses. Such a sweet surprise! Thanks for your sweet little guy sitting on your hand!
Precious and cute !

This picture was in chi's backround computer in snafu comics
Mimi is really sexy, and before you bigots all start shooting off awful untrue accusations at me like you do Bleedman, I'm 15 years old (still a kid under American laws), female, and pansexual. Mimi's like 11 or somethin' (and I don't know if the Underworld even has laws), also a girl, and her sexual orientation's still up for debate.
Also, Chi most likely approves of this image since she'll be seeing a lot more of Mimi in the future, and HIM doesn't really care. Too bad Jeff made her take the pic down. That dear, sweet old spider just worries about her safety and the people who say horrible things about her and her creator.

I get nightmares tonight
Mimi, Scanty, and Kneesocks (Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt). Just sayin'
Doesn't anyone find it disturbing that this of a clearly underaged character is sexualized...I mean honestly people...we would not be taking pictures of children in real life like this...and the fact that some of the commenters do find the image either "hot" or "sexy"
I don't want to live on this planet anymore....
I don't want to live on this planet anymore....
You think this is bad(still is to me),you should see the newest one.
Dude... do you even FOLLOW this series? This girl already lost pretty much every scrap of innocence she possessed and thus it's completely within character for her to do something like this. Plus she's a demon and is technically defined as immoral anyways. As for the comments, it's a DRAWING. She's not even HUMAN. They can fantasize all they want.
I'm neither Jeff, whoever that is, or a "dude." I'm a young woman who found this image randomly. I'll admit I've never followed this series so I have no idea what the character is about. But that still does not sway me on my views about the image and most people's comment that find it attractive in an erotic sense....terms like "hot" and "sexy." I guess it was not fair to post my opinion on the matter which was negative I know. Though this site is mean't for open critics, both good and bad. I'm not saying of course that the art is bad..no..he is talented....I just question the subject material. I'm not very familiar with the lolicon culture, but I did read up on it before I wanted to respond. It is the idea of an often sexual attraction to young girls or characters with childlike features. I just find that really disturbing, yes he's drawing fictional characters now, but where's the line? I will say again, if this was a photograph of a young girl in a bikini posed in a sexy manner....then would people find it wrong? That's my personal opinion. Obviously others here will disagree with me on this page because you think it is ok...I would like to know why? And honestly...don't give me that "she's actually immortal" crap because she's made to look 10-13. I also don't care if she's not human either...she's human like enough to get the idea
Thank god someone else finds this fucked up. i thought i was the only one. Bleedman is a pedophile.
You do make a valid point but i have to correct you on one point. I said immoral, not immortal, as in lacking in moral values. BTW I say dude to everybody, it wasn't meant to be offensive. I appologize for that.
not that's fine on the dude part...again just because she's immoral doesn't really mean that's ok as an illustration of an underage character like that...just because a kid or preteen is a brat doesn't means ok to dress and pose suggestively...which was the choice made by the artist..there are other ways to convey that she is immoral instead of having her as a "sexy" kid...which I find disturbing...but honestly I'm not a fan though I know Bleedman has many...so it really isn't my place to say anymore...I just think people need to be very careful when they think an image like this is attractive because it is a very very fine line between drawings of sexy kids to actual photos
I think your being close minded and I'm a 15yr old young lady who finds this less offensive the a beauty pageant
Well I can agree with you in the fact that Child Pageants are also horrendous ^_^ They also over sexualize children and teach young girls that outer beauty is more important than inner beauty...I hope you don't find this offensive, but because you are so young...it may not seem like such a bad idea since these characters are close to your age...I just think it is a bit disturbing that a grown adult man finds these kind of images attractive and not look to adult women as attractive...again I may be an old fuddy duddy at the age of 25 but that's how I see it...but again I know there are differing opinions..that's what makes people unique...for better or worse
don´t worry, i´m 33. About your question of lines: reality: crime, drawing/fantasy/illusion: that´s a brain thing, you can´t forbid ideas. But you are right in the ways that there is a risk of leading weak minds to bad ideas. But on the other hand, where is not? That´s tragic, but but the world we live in.
Jeff? Is that you?
sorry I'm not Jeff...don't know who that is

As suggested by Daniel (D-Cubed) an improved version of GetCVIVersion is needed in order to determine the patch level programmatically. Right now, no simple approach exists for an executable to determine if the CVIRTE is a patched version or not. For example, GetCVIVersion returns 1300 both for the patched and the unpatched 2013 release.
Improve the Breakpoints Window, so that breakpoints can be more easily managed.
1. Change the Breakpoints Window, from a modal dialog to a dockable window (similar to the Watch Window). Debugging can be more easy this way.
2. Allow breakpoints to be grouped, disabled/enabled and edited in user defined categories. This allows users to easily collectively manage several breakpoints at a time. It also helps the user to logically group breakpoints, depending on various issues issues that he might be working on.
3. Breakpoints could also be sorted from a pop-up menu by filename, line, hit count, etc.
I have had severe problems in development, due to a high synergy between my lack of attention and CVI behavior in search/replace dialogs.
I am talking about the fact that Find/Replace parameters [namely search directories] are stored at REGISTRY level, so that they remain the same across different workspaces.
Having to work with different version of the same software product, I have found myself looking into the wrong sources, or even doing mass updates, due to the fact that different projects have identically named sources and includes, just in different directory trees, and rapidly switching from one workspace
to the next I didn't "mind the step"
My suggestion, thus, is to store find/replace parameters at workspace or project level, so as to avoid the aforementioned inconvenience
As of CVI2013 data tooltips and variable view do some kind of automatic rounding but based on 15 digits only... This prevents tracking numeric / rounding issues. Unfortunately, no possibility exists to show the full precision of doubles... Phrased more drastically one you cannot use CVI to debug numeric issues...
So I suggest to urgently add
I made this suggestion some time ago - unfortunately I had combined it with another, related idea. The other idea was implemented so now the complete issue is dead, sorry, completed.
This suggestion is meant to revive the unfulfilled request of two new attributes, allowing to dim and hide a specified entry in a ring control. This would be convenient as it avoids to programmatically rebuild the control.
What is differnce between the forum and the knowledge base ?
As far as I see the forum is where users ask questions and answers are provided, often by NI representatives.
The Knowledge base appears also to be where questions are aksed have solutions provided.
This means that I could search the knowledge base when the same question/solution is in the forum and vise-versa. Can these be in some way combined with a better search function .
It would also be useful to remember search location based on user login - The amount of times I end up with a solution using LabView (I do not use and hopefully never will use Labview).
I would like to have the possibility to store the uir-file not as a tui-file (old-fashioned ini file), instead as a xml file.
imho the nice tool tips feature provided by the Programmer's Toolbox leads a miserable existence, because it is extra effort integrating it into a GUI.
I would love to see the tool tips integrated into the IDE, that is, when editing a control in the GUI editor, I would like to be able to also set the tool tips text and if it is initially enabled, just like it is possible to enter a control label text. This would include moving the tool tips from the Toolbox to the regular user interface library.
Many Thanks!
As CVI evolves (in age and functionality) I feel that additional efforts are required for maintaining the product, i.e, keeping it 'consistent' and avoiding a 'mosaic look' as if assembled by different engineers in different decades...
A simple example but also one I would like to see resolved is entering data types in the UI editor vs in a function call (PlotIntensity in this case):
So, for example, long long translates to int64... Why not simply use the identical terms??
I agree it could be worse but I also feel that this is a valid suggestion for future improvements...
Even after using CVI for many years I still find the DirSelectPopup confusing, because it provides a file selector, displays files, and even allows to select files...
I would prefer an improved/modified function such that the DirSelectPopup only shows directories, does not provide a file selector, etc.... This should make it much more obvious that one is selecting a directory, not a file...
If you have, say, three controls called MAX_1, MAX_2, MAX_3 arranged vertically. If I select them all, copy and paste, the new controls appear as MAX_4, MAX_5 and MAX_6 but in the wrong order to what you would expect.
A similar issue occurs with assigning a group of controls to a control array, they always seem to be in the wrong order, usually reversed.
Attaching controls to a splitter in the UIR editor can be a pain if the panel has several controls on it. I'll make an example using CVI example SendMail: trying to add a vertical splitter and attach all controls to it in order to rearrange the panel when the user resizes it. This is the original panel, you can see the vertical splitter in the upper right corner:
First of all, if several controls are selected, they overlap in the right panel of the editor in a way different from the original panel. Here you can see that the decoration indicated by the arrow overlaps two string controls that I'm not able to operate on to select desired attachment mode. This means that I need to proceed to attach controls in steps, hoping new controls added are not overlapped by previous ones. Alternatively I can move controls in the right panel to encover hidden ones, but this ingenerates confusion as controls are no more in the original position besides being a waste of time.
Second item: if selected controls are on the "wrong" side of the panel, they are all grouped (and possibly overlapped) on the closest boundary of the right window. See this example: Send and Quit buttons are only partially visible on the lower left corner of the right window and additionally they are overlapped (in the small box how they appear if I select one of them and move it upwards):
I suggest that this function is improved with these additions:
So for any bracket opening (, [, or {, CVI editor automatically adds corresponding closing bracket and place cursor between them. I saw this feature somewhere online and it was very convenient.
It has been suggested much earlier here, but obviously passed out of mind:
When using 'Go to Definition' (CTrl+I) while in release configuration, CVI tells that no source code information was found for the identifier '...', because 'Browse information is not available in the Release configuration'... (still true for CVI2010)
This can and should be improved!
And it might be a good opportunity to also add the reverse process, 'Goto Declaration', suggested here
Similiar to LabVIEW, I would like to have a "save as" option to store all files within the prj-file to a new location (maybe also for store a cws, res all mentioned prj-files).
Would make it easier to handle over a CVI-project.
At present, you cannot edit text attributes when several controls are selected. It would be nice to be able to set text attributes the same way as we can set other attributes (e.g. status of leds or min/max limits for numerics and so on).
I am interested both in attributes for control text and control label.
Currently, there is no way to access the historical data on a stripchart. The only way to manage this data is to maintain a separate buffer and update it whenever you add data to the strip chart, which is inefficient and tedious. Accessing data is possible for graph controls using the data attribute:
GetPlotAttribute (panel, PANEL_GRAPH, plotHandle, ATTR_PLOT_XDATA, &data);
Something similar should be implemented for the strip chart, either as an attribute in the getTraceAttribute function, or as a standalone function (getTraceData, etc.)
This would make it a bit easier to edit an old project without the issue of upgraded UIRs because it might get loaded by the wrong CVI version and one edits and accidentally saves it before noticing.
Visual Studio installs a helper EXE which launches the right Studio for any SLN.
If MS didn't patent this , it would be a nice feature for CVI (and LabView?), too.
The current features of the UI editor with respect to editing tooltips are VERY limited. I am not complaining because one has to start somewhere
Instead I am adding yet another suggestion on this subject
Please provide the possibility to enter tab stops, see my comment here
Because this is such a modest request, please also consider this one
Right now if multiple controls are selected you cannot jump to the code with "View control callback" menu option or Ctrl+B accelerator even if they have the same callback. It could be handy to be permitted to go to source if selected controls have the same callback.
Consider this scenario:
On a panel you create two buttons, select both of them and edit their properties assigning a (unique) callback to both. Next with both controls selected you generate the callback using "Generate Control Callback" or Ctrl+G. Now you would like to go and code something in the callback but you're not allowed to: you need multiple clicks to go to source: one click anywhere on the panel to deselect controls, one to select one of the buttons and finally the right click or accelerator key. Not very handy...
Note: the LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange is not the appropriate forum to submit technical support questions.
The LabWindows/CVI R&D team is committed to reviewing every idea submitted via the LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange. However, we cannot guarantee the implementation of any LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange submission.

Being a photographer is that I am enthusiastic and willing to make every single shot seem perfect, without leaving any moments behind. It's very obvious that those images are most valuable for both of us, my clients and myself. I consider my photo style to have its own characteristic and worth, instead of degrees or any awards I might gather. I like to say my photography has passion and dignity.

We had a blast. Everyone was super nice and we got some great photos.....way easier than a Starbucks drive-thru and they didn't mess up the order. Only regret is not getting a photo of us doing a burnout in the drive-thru
October 2015
lovely ...would do it again
March 2015
This tour was amazing!
October 2014
We had such an amazing day - limo transport - luxury, the venue is quaint, we wanted to do something completely different to renew our vows and it was certainly that. The minister was brilliant, the photographer at the venue very good and accommodating. We went on a photo tour afterwards which was brilliant as they take you to various locations for the pictures so you get to experience even more of Las Vegas. Highly recommended
October 2014
We found this to be a very professional service we were contacted by email to confirm all the details and on the morning of the wedding we were telephoned in our hotel room to inform us that the driver was on his way. He turned up well on time and took us to the office to register the wedding where he waited for us then took us to the special memories chapel. He was very polite and courteous. It was everything and more as it was advertised. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a different wedding
August 2014
Everybody was very nice. A person from the tour company called us to make the arrangements. The driver also called us to make sure we had the schedule and the right place to be picked up. He was very nice and gave us some tips about places to visit. As we had requested, the minister spoke in Spanish. He was kind and respectful. We loved our wedding, only the two of us, but happy to finally tie the knot. I recommend it if you want something simple and willing to enjoy the moment.
July 2013
We had a blast! Very professional. We were so pleased. The minister was wonderful, spoke beautifully and thoughtfully. My husband, a minister, was pleasantly surprised by the ceremony. The photographer and videographer were professional, yet fun to work with! The limo driver was on time and very patient. We couldn't have asked for better. All made our day very special.

We were in Las Vegas to renew our wedding vows on our 20th Wedding Anniversary. After months of trolling the internet this was the best value by far. Everything went smoothly. We were picked up in a limo, the renewal ceremony was lovely, photos fantastic (the DVD was cringe material, but then who likes hearing/seeing themselves on the big screen!! Lol). A link to the ceremony was posted on the internet so our family and friends back in New Zealand were able to share it with us. Thanks to the team at "A Special Memory Wedding Chapel" for making our day so special. It was wonderful, a day we will never forget! :-) xxx

The Limo Driver was awesome! Everything was taken care of, we had to wait once we arrived but it was not too bad.

Obama to announce major Cuba policy overhaul; prisoners swapped
HAVANA/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama was set to announce a shift in policy toward Cuba on Wednesday and the Associated Press reported the changes would include the opening of an embassy in Cuba and the start of talks to normalize relations.
The shift in policy, which could be one of the biggest changes in decades of animosity between communist-ruled Cuba and the United States, was heralded by Cuba's release of American aid worker Alan Gross after five years in prison in a reported prisoner exchange with Havana.
Cuba releases American Alan Gross as U.S. prepares to overhaul Cuba policy
HAVANA/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Cuba has released American aid worker Alan Gross after five years in prison in a reported prisoner exchange with Havana that the United States said on Wednesday heralds an overhaul of U.S. policy toward Cuba.
A U.S. official said Gross was released on humanitarian grounds. CNN reported a prisoner exchange that also included Cuba releasing a U.S. intelligence source and the United States releasing three Cuban intelligence agents.
U.S. officials expect stiffer Pakistani resolve in wake of Taliban attack
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – The United States offered further counter terrorism help to Pakistan on Tuesday after a deadly Taliban attack on a school, and U.S. officials said privately they expect stronger Pakistani resolve in fighting the insurgents.
President Barack Obama said the raid, which killed at least 132 students and nine staff at a military-run high school in the city of Peshawar, was an act of "depravity" and he promised that Washington would back Pakistan against the militants.
Psychologist says U.S. Senate's CIA report makes false charges
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – One of the two psychologists who devised the CIA's harsh Bush-era interrogation methods said on Wednesday that a scathing U.S. Senate report on the torture of foreign terrorism suspects "took things out of context" and made false accusations.
"It's a bunch of hooey," James Mitchell told Reuters from his home in Florida when asked for his response to the Senate Intelligence Committee's findings released on Tuesday. "Some of the things are just plain not true."
Report slams psychologists who devised Bush-era interrogation
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The CIA paid $80 million to a company run by two former Air Force psychologists without experience in interrogation or counter-terrorism who recommended waterboarding, slaps to the face and mock burial for prisoners the U.S. suspected of being terrorists, according to a U.S. Senate report.
The two men are referred to in the report by the pseudonyms "Dunbar" and "Swigert" but have been identified by U.S. intelligence sources as James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen. The CIA outsourced more than 80 percent of its interrogation program to the company, Mitchell Jessen & Associates of Spokane, Washington, for its work from 2005 until the termination of the arrangement in 2009. The CIA also paid the company $1 million to protect it and its employees from legal liability.
Six Guantanamo prisoners fly to Uruguay for resettlement
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Six men held for more than a decade at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were flown to Uruguay for resettlement on Sunday, the latest step in a slow-moving push by President Barack Obama's administration to close the facility.
The release of four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian, who arrived in South America aboard a U.S. military transport plane, represented the largest single group to leave the internationally condemned U.S. detention camp since 2009, U.S. officials said.
Uruguay accepts six Guantanamo prisoners for resettlement
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Six men held for more than a decade at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were flown to Uruguay for resettlement on Sunday, the Pentagon said, the latest step in a slow-moving push by the Obama administration to close the facility.
The release of four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian, who arrived in South America aboard a U.S. military transport plane, represented the largest single group to leave the internationally condemned U.S. detention camp since 2009.
Obama's pick to head Pentagon not always on same page as president
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Ashton Carter, a veteran Washington insider President Barack Obama is expected to name as his new defense secretary, built a reputation as a behind-the-scenes team player during many years in senior Pentagon posts.
But scrutiny of the 60-year-old former physicist's views on issues ranging from North Korea to Iraq to defense spending also show an independent thinker whose opinions have not always aligned fully with those of the president.
Powerful U.S. pro-Israel lobby holds fire as Iran deadline looms
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – As the United States and other powers negotiate down to the wire on a nuclear deal with Iran, one voice has been unusually quiet – the main pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
Israel deeply distrusts the attempt to reach a deal at talks in Vienna that would lift harsh international sanctions on Iran in return for limits to its nuclear program, aimed at preventing it from developing an atomic bomb.
Obama toughens line on Putin over Ukraine at G20 summit
BRISBANE Australia (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday that Russia would remain isolated by the international community if President Vladimir Putin continued to violate international law in Ukraine, some of his toughest remarks yet on the crisis.
Putin has come under intense pressure from other leaders at this weekend's G20 summit in Brisbane over his government's backing for pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine, where a conflict has killed more than 4,000 people this year.

The enigma that is House III is something that has always plagued me. It's something of a cult thing between my friends and I because I won a bet related to its existence. Yes, it does exist. It's just not known as House III. It's called The Horror Show and it was directed by James Isaac (Jason X) and stars two men that could easily fit in in respected, high budget films as well as low budget garbage. The men I speak of are Lance Henrikson, a personal favorite, and the late Brion James. Unfortunately, this is more towards the garbage end of the spectrum because the biggest scare is Brion James in a dress.

Interesting hack, I haven't played yet but the screenies and trainer designs caught my eye, especially the female.
Also found interesting that the starters were picked from different
gens and they are all pure types (a big rarity nowadays)
so in the end the hack manages to interestingly mix novelty and
old school features, which is nice.

Quote:Any info on where,why or how a gun jams will be welcome,for any firearm.
A jam occurs after a vital weapon part suffers a malfunction.
Malfunctions have many reasons (various possible factors), some of the main malfunction factors include:
- Mechanical Problems - After a weapon is fired, residues like spent powder particles or dust/sand accumulate inside the weapon, the firing mechanism is affected by these and other mechanical problems, a soldier should regularly clean the weapon and check it in order to decrease the possibility of mechanical probs;
- Environmental Conditions - "Delicate" weapons tend to jam faster on harsh environments, an example includes the first versions of the M16 which saw action in Vietnam, such M16's were notoriously problematic due to reliability issues. The environment affects the weapon on many levels, from water to dust or sand, the battlefield environment is a major factor one should take in consideration;
- Overheating - This is a common factor to increase the probability of weapon jamming, after prolonged firing sessions and consequent weapon overheating, some weapons tend to jam faster (the M4 is an example);
- Ammo and Magazine Quality - Poor quality ammo or defective magazines tend to increase the probability of weapon related problems (misfire, jamming and even catastrophic weapon failure).
