Two of my family's favorite treats are hot dogs and fresh baked pretzels, so combing them makes me a superhero. Before we had 4 kids, I'd go to the nearby Amish market to buy them, but at $4 a pretzel my habit became too expensive. So I searched for a healthier and cheaper way to keep my superhero status. Using Alton Brown's Homemade Soft Pretzel Recipe as a base, I perfected the winning recipe. Enjoy!

Redskins fall to 49ers, 27-6

Stephen Czarda, Redskins.com
After a 2012 season in which the Washington Redskins registered seven consecutive victories en route to an unpredictable division crowning, the burgundy and gold were selected to appear in five national television appearances, the maximum allotment.
Through four primetime games, the Redskins have yet to claim victory as they fell once again last night on Monday Night Football 27-6 to the San Francisco 49ers.
It was also the first time the Redskins failed to score a touchdown during the Robert Griffin III era, as two Kai Forbath field goals accounted for the team's only points ... Read More

I like technology, but I think it's kinda reached the stage where your console doesn't play games anymore, it keeps track of what time your large shipment of teabags are supposed to be delivered so you can make tea for your upper class friends if you live in Britain, and do we really want this? If I want to keep a calendar, diary or memo, I would use conventional paper - nothing is more frustrating than using a keyboard and having to delete every letter you get wrong, rather than using your own hand. Watches too, calculators, mobile phones, TVs - they don't do their mandatory jobs and functions anymore, they sort of coincide with each others operations to the point where a watch is also a calculator and a mobile, a mobile is also a calculator and a watch, and a calculator is also a watch.
So, my question is this - we have come along way in technology over 20 years, from developing primitive arcade games to developing high tech gaming consoles with amazing 3D resolution, and over the past eight or so years what really has happened in the world of gaming - sure, graphics have improved, but what else? If technology is only improving by doing more functions and not improving generally, then have we just reached the end for now?
But, however, the reason for technological development is war, so do we need another major war to motivate us to move forward again? Or do you not agree - do you think we're still going forward, or perhaps just more gradually?

With the "Warlords of Draenor" expansion coming soon, more information on its features are being detailed on the official website. The "World of Warcraft" art team posted a preview of players' personal garrisons on Tuesday. The preview shows off the architecture, set dressing, and more of the upcoming feature.
Garrisons are set up to be a "core experience" of the expansion. Not only will they bring essences of Stormwind and Orgrimmar into Draenor, they will also grow in power during the player's adventures. Buildings that are familiar to players will show up in their garrisons. Stables, lumber mills, mage towers, and more will be updated visually in order to be placed in garrisons. Gamers will be able to level their chosen profession through garrisons and the respective profession building will definitely become more grandiose as the profession levels up.
Several screenshots of garrisons and their upgrades are sprinkled throughout the article. Be sure to check out the full piece. The article focuses on Alliance structures this time around; however, a Horde oriented piece will show up at a later date.

Deadline is Wednesday to file state tax returns
Published: Monday, May 13, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 13, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
The deadline for filing 2012 state tax returns is Wednesday.
The Louisiana Department of Revenue recommends all taxpayers file their returns electronically. Electronic filing methods include:
-- Commercially available tax-preparation software.
-- Louisiana File Online. Visit www.revenue.louisiana.gov/fileonline.
The average refund processing time for electronic returns is 10 business days. For paper returns, it is 12-16 weeks.
Taxpayers needing more time to prepare their 2012 individual state income tax returns must submit an extension request by Wednesday's deadline to avoid late-filing penalties. An extension allows only more time to file a return; it does not allow more time to pay. Visit www.revenue.louisiana.gov/extensions.

A very strong and shallow earthquake struck early Monday morning off Puerto Rico's north coast, cutting the Puerto Rico Seismic Network operations.
A 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck at sea off Puerto Rico's coast at a shallow depth of less than 19 miles early Monday, according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake hit some 56 km (35 miles) off the northern coast of the island.
San Juan, the capital, where 400,000 people live, is located on the same side of the island.
Power cuts occurred and were restored shortly after the quake. Due these power cuts, however, the Puerto Rico Seismic Network ceased operations a few seconds after the earthquake occurred, reports the EarthquakeReport.com
The quake north of Puerto Rico occurred as a result of oblique-thrust faulting, according to the EarthquakeReport.com.
"Preliminary faulting mechanisms for the event indicate it ruptured either a structure dipping shallowly to the south and striking approximately east-west, or a near-vertical structure striking northwest-southeast.
"At the location of this earthquake, the North America plate moves west-southwest with respect to the Caribbean plate at a velocity of approximately 20 mm/yr, and subducts beneath the Caribbean plate at the Puerto Rico Trench. The location, depth and mechanism of the earthquake are consistent with the event occurring on this subduction zone interface."
Initial tsunami advisories were cancelled.
Minor damage is reported from Puerto Rico. No injuries have been reported.
Puerto Rico's quake Monday has occurred almost exactly 4 years after a powerful 7.0-magnitude quake devastated Haiti, another Caribbean island nation.
The 2010 disaster took more than 100,000 lives and caused an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the world.
The late Hugo Chavez accused the United States government for the Haiti quake and resulting humanitarian catastrophe. He stated on television that the U.S. had used an earthquake weapon to cripple the country.

(AP Photo/Bill Haber) Also, DE Cameron Jordan is limited Thursday after missing Wednesday by ramon antonio vargas| firstname.lastname@example.com Oct. 24, 2013; 3:12 p.m. Comments Saints tight end Jimmy Graham missed his second practice this week on Thursday as New Orleans prepares to host the 3-4 Buffalo Bills on Sunday, leaving his status in question for at least a little longer. Graham came up limping after Drew Brees threw an interception early in the fourth quarter of New Orleans' 30-27 loss to the New England Patriots on Oct. 13. Brees' pass was intended for Graham. There were media reports that Graham had an MRI on his foot last week, during which the Saints had a bye. On Thursday, coach Sean Payton said Graham is "day to day." "Tomorrow will be an important day for him," Payton said. Graham leads the Saints with 37 catches for 593 yards and six touchdowns. Aside from Graham, safety Roman Harper (knee), running back Mark Ingram (toe), defensive Tyrunn Walker (knee) and cornerback Rod Sweeting (hip) didn't practice. Ingram and Harper have been inactive since after Week 2. Walker was inactive in Weeks 2, 5 and 6. Strief was inactive in Week 6. Sweeting was a healthy inactive from Weeks 3 to 6. Defensive end Cameron Jordan, who leads the Saints in sacks with five, and right tackle Zach Strief were limited in team drills on Thursday with ankle injuries after sitting out Wednesday. Wide receiver Lance Moore (hand) and safety Malcolm Jenkins (back) were full participants despite their listed injuries. Additionally, cornerback Jabari Greer returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday due to reasons that were not injury-related. Check back with The Advocate for more from Saints camp later.

"Bachelor" star Juan Pablo made headlines last week after his dramatic finale of the show. He was rude to everyone, including Clare Crawley after she flipped out on him after he decided not to pick her. However, it sounds like he and Nikki are going strong, even though she seemed to be questioning her relationship with Juan during the finale. According to a new US Weekly report published on March 17, "Bachelor" star Juan Pablo is now showing off his relationship with Nikki Ferrell in the Dominican Republic, as the couple attended a friend's wedding.
The two attended a wedding this past weekend and they seemed to happy. They are now able to live their lives away from the cameras, something that both of them were looking forward to. The two haven't been eager to share their lives on social media, which has been upsetting to fans. In addition, fans are still trying to overcome the rude comments he made to Clare during the season finale.
"I'm shocked," Crawley later said on camera. "He chose to tell me something that no woman wants to hear. That he doesn't know me and some sexual thing I don't want to repeat. It was insulting and it was offensive." Those shocking words were: "I love f---ing you but I don't know you," a source has revaled.

Music review: Red Priest entertains with unique technical wizardry

Music review: Red Priest entertains with unique technical wizardry
By CHARLES WARD ARTS WRITER
Oct. 29, 2009, 5:55PM
If any Baroque-music purists survived the Houston debut of Red Priest, Tuesday's concert at Midtown's Trinity Episcopal Church would have been their personal Nightmare on Main Street.
Actually, the four-member, Britain-based ensemble called the evening Nightmare in Venice and, in the spirit of Halloween, featured music composed in Stylus Phantasticus, a 17th-century style noted for its free-form, fantastical moods and unexpected musical effects
Red Priest recorders, violin, Baroque cello and harpsichord opened with a concerto by the original red priest, Italy's Antonio Vivaldi. ForLa Notte (The Night), the players entered in black hoods and robes, one musician from the side of the church's chancel and the rest from the church's rear. They played the horror film-like special effects with ghoulish glee and fabulous virtuosity. Continue reading

Due to the sudden death of his wife, bass vocalist Alexei Mochalov had to withdraw from the Kremerata Baltica tour of the United States, which began in New York on January 30 and is scheduled to continue through February 8. Mochalov was instrumental in working with Gidon Kremer and his Kremerata Baltica ensemble to prepare a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's "Anti-Formalist Rayok," working from a manuscript that was only discovered after Shostakovich's death. Without Mochalov this portion of the show could not go on; and, as a result, Kremer rearranged the second half of last night's Great Performers Series program at Davies Symphony Hall to focus entirely on the music of Mieczysław Weinberg, the subject of the latest ECM New Series release, which presents five of Weinberg's compositions on two CDs. The first half of the program was then rearranged to begin with an arrangement for string orchestra of Shostakovich's Opus 134 violin sonata by violinist Michael Zinman, to which Andrei Pushkarev subsequently added a percussion part at Zinman's request. This was then followed by Benjamin Britten's Opus 10 set of variations on a theme by his teacher, Frank Bridge.
The second half of the program began with Weinberg's tenth symphony (Opus 98) composed in 1968. This was the replacement for "Anti-Formalist Rayok;" and it is the major work on the new ECM recording. However, because it was a last-minute replacement, there was no information about it in the program book. (The program change was announced from the stage and mentioned only that the work is in five movements.)
This was unfortunate, since even having the movement descriptions would have been useful. Through those descriptions, one would have recognized at least some of the wit that Weinberg engaged in composing this symphony. The movements are labeled according to traditional stylistic genres:
- Concerto grosso
- Pastorale
- Canzone
- Burlesque
- Inversion
The concerto grosso calls for solo passages for violin, viola, and cello but then takes a prankish approach to adding a double bass to the mix. The final movement, on the other hand, may well have been inspired by the music of Béla Bartók, a composer who became famous (notorious?) for taking almost every one of his themes and finding a way to rework it in inversion. After playing that game, Weinberg then revisits the opening themes of the entire symphony (in reverse order) to wrap up his "stylistic stew" in a neat package.
Kremer led his Kremerata Baltica in a vigorous account of this symphony. The solo instrumental work extended beyond the opening movement and involved some particularly expressive cello work by Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė. Nevertheless, the composition was a long one; and the lack of any assistance for listeners encountering this music for the first time was regrettable (even if it was unavoidable).
More accessible at face value was the second Weinberg selection (originally scheduled to begin the evening), his Opus 42 concertino for violin and strings. This involved a more straightforward approach to thematic content, as well as a highly expressive cadenza leading into the second of its three movements. Kremer offered up an engaging account which did much to "clear the air" after the far more elaborate Opus 98 symphony.
The Shostakovich sonata was originally composed, in the fall of 1968, as a 60th birthday present for David Oistrakh. By 1968 Shostakovich had recovered (to the best of his abilities) from his travails under the oppression of Stalinist rule in Soviet Russia. The sonata provided him with opportunities to explore new approaches to composition (including serial methods) without giving up on many of the traditional techniques that had served him well in the past. Zinman's arrangement provided an informed translation of the accompaniment from piano to string ensemble, while Pushkarev's percussion offered up a clever nod to some of the more prankish elements of early Shostakovich rhetoric. Kremer's energetic approach as both soloist and leader made for an upbeat beginning for the evening.
The Britten variations were then given a spirited account with Džeraldas Bidva leading from the concertmaster's chair. Since each of the variations provides a witty take on a familiar stylistic genre, Britten's Opus 10 provided useful "rhetorical orientation" for the approach that Weinberg took to his Opus 98 symphony, which followed after the intermission. Kremerata Baltica gave a zesty account of Britten's humor, which alternated between subtle and overt.
The full evening turned out to be a long program. However, Kremer offered up one final sample of Weinberg as an encore. This was a brief and high-spirited polka that nicely complemented the more sublime rhetoric of the Opus 42 concertino. The music was composed for the soundtrack of a cartoon entitled "Bonifatsy's Holidays."

San Luis Obispo, CA — On Saturday, at approximately 2:30, the San Luis Obispo Police Department received a 911 call from an alert citizen reporting he was following a suspect who was running down the street breaking windows to vehicles. The citizen chased the suspect, who was later identified as 22-year-old Matthew Martin, for several blocks. The citizen caught and detained Martin until officers arrived.
Officers learned Martin was originally seen in the area of Johnson and Phillips where they located the first broken window. The citizen followed Martin to the area of Kentucky and Stafford. The citizen saw Martin break three additional car windows between the two locations. Martin fled from the citizen and was eventually detained by him in the area of Bond and Hathaway.
Martin was booked into County Jail for felony vandalism and being drunk in public. The damages are preliminarily estimated at approximately $3,000.

HEAL begins Monthly Meetings for the Autism Community starting this month.
The HEAL Foundation, Healing Every Autistic Life, a local organization dedicated to helping individuals and families living with Autism will be hosting and facilitating Monthly Meetings - called HEAL TOGETHER!
The HEAL monthly meetings, held the 2nd Monday of every month, are designed as an informational forum for parents, teachers, therapists and caregivers impacted by Autism. The meetings will feature a variety of speakers and topics which are designed to educate and inspire an open discussion among attendees.
HEAL is the leading local foundation dedicated to assisting individuals and their families living with Autism. HEAL has granted more than $700,000 to local camps, support groups, seminars and schools to support those with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Autism is a devastating neurological and biological disorder typically affecting children at different levels of severity. Individuals are affected in four key areas: communication, social skills, behaviors, and learning.
"A staggering 1 in 100 children are now diagnosed with autism" says Linda Carzoli Outreach Coordinator of HEAL and mother of a son with Autism. "Parents are struggling to learn more and connect with others in the Autism Community." Because the need is so critical, The HEAL Foundation strongly supports families, therapists and educators in the Greater Jacksonville Area.
Jill Fane of the Central Florida Parent Center, will be the speaker at the first HEAL TOGETHER! meeting on Monday October 11th at 6:30 PM. Ms. Fane will discuss Education issues facing families affected by Autism, and their rights.
Meetings will be held on the 2nd Monday of every month at Christ's Church located at 6045 Greenland Road, Jacksonville, FL. Dr. Lisa Amato and Janeen Herskovitz will speak on November 8 about Autism at the holidays.
These meetings are free and open to the public.
About The HEAL Foundation
The mission of HEAL! Foundation is to develop a community that is dedicated to medical research, treatment and education of individuals, community awareness, and, ultimately, prevention of autism spectrum disorders. Through grants, HEAL facilitates a variety of services for local families who have a member with autism, including assisting new families affected by autism, parent education seminars, programs, camps, and social events. Ultimately, HEAL's goal is to generate enough funding to build HEAL House, a place where programs and services can be offered under one roof. For more information, visit, www.healautismnow.org.

Recent OpenGL graphics applications tend to change state at roughly these frequencies:
for (...) { // cold data downloads, render target changes, etc. for (...) { // warm bind textures for (...) { // hot bind constants bind vertex buffers Draw(); } } }
The most frequent state changes are binding vertex buffer objects (every draw), followed closely by binding constant buffers. Vertex buffer and constant buffer binds are significantly more expensive than one might expect. These binds require several reads from the driver internal object data structure to accomplish what the driver actually needs to do. In an OpenGL driver, it looks like this:
Each of these dereferences has a high probability of causing a CPU L2 cache miss due to the inherently LRU-eviction-unfriendly nature of graphics applications (each frame starts over at the beginning). These L2 cache misses are a huge bottleneck in modern drivers, and a penalty paid for every frame rendered.
Bindless Graphics has the following desirable properties:
Measurements have shown that bindless graphics can result in more than 7x speedup!
The Bindless Graphics presentation provides more detail, and explains the usage of the two OpenGL extensions GL_NV_shader_buffer_load and GL_NV_vertex_buffer_unified_memory.
Bindless Graphics is available starting with NVIDIA Release 185 drivers for hardware G80 and up.

Which I did on my blogging buddy (and soon to be in person buddy), Rainey' blog, The Project Table. Rainey's blog has long been one of my favorites. Not just food, but photography, DIY projects, decorating ideas and more.
Checkerboard Cake idea.
I have a bit of a history for borrowing her cake decorating ideas. Cakes are fine, but if you look over her posts, you will see a bit of panache added!
Like I said then, I was a fan and still am! In fact, next week I will be flying across country just to visit with her (I may make time to visit with my sainted Mother who happens to be living in the same city).
7-Up the Butt Lemon Chicken I made.
Today, it's the side dish to go with the chicken!
Rich (ultra rich), thick and creamy, beautiful colored (paprika adds a deliciously appealing golden amber glow) and oozing with cheese. This is that potatoes au Gratin recipe you get in restaurants!
And now at home.
And it pairs well with a simple chicken (and cheap chicken if you look for sales or pick up one of those delightful rotisserie chickens. Really adds a richness to the simple!
HERE, to see her original, easy to duplicate recipe.
Well, almost. She used fresh chives and parsley flakes. I used my version of "Not Your Grandmothers Herbes de Provence", a mix of classic Mediterranean spices with garlic and lemon zest added.
Add the aforementioned Chicken and some cheesy creamed spinach and you have quite a delicious meal!
Thanks Rainey, as always, great recipe and great to visit your blog!
So, if I have tweeked your interest in Rainey and her The Project Table Blog , head on over and say HI for me!
And for a quick look at what she blogs, click on the logo link image to the right. You will see all the eRecipeCards that Rainey has submitted to eRecipeCards.com. You can add her recipes to your eRecipeBox (once you have a free account).

College Hockey:Seckel scores in fourth straight as Northern Michigan tops Alabama-Huntsville
MARQUETTE, Mich. —- Northern Michigan University forward Reed Seckel picked up his fourth goal in four games as the Wildcats beat Alabama-Huntsville, 4-0, in WCHA play on Saturday at the Berry Events Center in Marquette.
Seckel, who missed NMU's first two exhibitions and first four regular season games with an injury, had a goal waved off in the second period after a video review ruled it went in with the help of goaltender interference.
His goal that counted was also reviewed, but upheld to give Northern a 3-0 lead in the third period.
"It took some time to get back into it, but now I'm back into it and it feels good to be back out there having fun," said Seckel, who recorded two assists in his first four games back before his recent run of goals.
"The first couple games I kept it simple, wanting to make plays and give the puck to (Stephan) Vigier. He was on a tear. I was out there trying to get the puck to him, let him do the work. Now I've taken the next step and progressed as the season goes on."
Seckel was one of four different upperclassmen to score for the Wildcats, with senior defenseman and captain C.J. Ludwig giving NMU a 1-0 lead with 26 seconds remaining on the clock in the first period.
Ludwig's defensive partner, senior Wade Epp, scored his first goal of the season at 12:21 of the second period to put Northern up 2-0 on Huntsville.
Both goals by the senior defensemen were scored in similar fashion —- slap shots —- in similar spots —- between the faceoff circles just below the blue line —- but on opposite ends of the ice.
NMU junior forward Ryan Daugherty tallied his third goal of the year during a delayed penalty at 13:55 of the third period to put the Wildcats up 4-0.
Vigier assisted on three of the four goals, with Seckel's coming unassisted.
"Anyone scoring is good for us," Ludwig said. "I was just fortunate I got one to the net and it went in. The same thing for Epp. He got it through. It doesn't matter who is getting it, but a goal is a goal."
NMU redshirt freshman goaltender Mathias Dahlstrom recorded 17 saves on Saturday after making 16 stops on Friday in a 3-0 victory over UAH. He not only gave the Wildcats their first sweep of the season, but consecutive shutouts for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
It was the first weekend of back-to-back sweeps for NMU since a pair of 3-0 wins over Lake Superior State on Dec. 5-6, 2003.
"Those are really tough games, I got to be honest with you," NMU coach Walt Kyle said about Dahlstrom's weekend. "You're watching a lot of hockey go on somewhere else and you're asked to make difficult saves in key moments."
The Wildcats outshot the Chargers on Saturday, 33-17, which was an improvement for Huntsville after getting outshot 41-16 the night before.
UAH was outshot 22-5 on Friday in the first period, but went into the first intermission on Saturday leading Northern 9-6 in shots.
"Besides the goal at the end of the first period, I thought we out-played them in the first period," UAH coach Mike Corbett said. "We played solid in the first period. A guy misses a shooting lane on that first goal, but we felt good about ourselves going into the second period."

Gallery/Dealer Details - de giovanni luigiLuigi De Giovanni dedicated himself to painting from the bloom youth. He obtained the diploma at the Fine Art Academy of Rome in 1974.
Artistic Direction's Advice:
Second edition of Luigi De Giovanni's solo exhibition. The show is jet an happy and great sequence of well matched warm colours to cold colours, the latter used in moderation, that creates intense and suggestive compositions.
I would point out the smart contrast that rises from the apparent homogeneity of themes. The fundamental contrast is between sweet still lifes, with impressionist flavour, and the wild landscape of southern Italy, with expressionist flavour.
You can see the still lifes tidy into polite composure, with light colours, studied, I want to say, threadbare. Minor keys predominate and some violets and pale pinks; and green that are getting to blue; and then some lively grey but with moderation.
The still lifes remain on one close-up and represent a settled process, a moment. A flower that did not become a fruit, a cut stem that can live only into his instant. These are the tribute to "carpe diem" the istant when you think to understand the meaning, to hold the object and the subject of your desire; and it is gone.
Still lifes are quiet and pretty but they are always prepared to a fast and early extinction; and only the artist can avoid but with the trick of painting. They are a light tangle and give a quiet restlessness.
Now these strong landscape where there is a resolute fast synthetic stroke, with no destraction, almost gestural but also with few concession to abstraction that is curbbed, controlled. Colour is less shaded and the contrasts are more hard.
These landscapes are real and they are hard and true; maybe parched with an implacable sun but full a rooted and strong life that, with his knotted and apparently untidy evolution, reasserts his supremacy. With these canvas the artist concentrates all his vital force, his optimism and his faith in the creative power of this world.
Luigi De Giovanni, contemplating and professing the value of these realities, codifies his universal message. The supremacy of nature as a re-balancing strenght able to repair all the damages with his exuberant creative power with no human being.

The WayWood philosophy is simple, nurturing individual parcels of fruit to produce wines that truly express site, vintage & variety. Influenced by my European heritage and wayward nature, this collection defines my passion for creating wines of distinction and adventure
All too often in life we are guided by regulation or conformity, sometimes you just have to follow your gut feeling & go with the flow . The Quattro series are wines influenced by these feelings, our travel, the people we meet, food we eat and a tribute to living life to the full.
A former Sommelier with vintages in Portugal, Italy, UK & Granite Belt, McLaren Vale was the place selected as the home to start WayWood. The perfect environment in which to create the wines we had not only enjoyed, but had also talked & dreamt about. The regions diversity, community & history, have added an extra element to the journey, we, as do the wines, continue to evolve & excite.
Autumn Special
There are periods in one's life that on reflection are major turning points. When decisions & directions are taken that prove
to be life changing
& unexpectedly set you off on unknown journeys.
This series of reserve wines is
a reminder & celebration
of that decision, I call them the WayWood Years.

Bruce Lee developed an art that was particular to him and he called it Jeet Kune Do (JKD).
Translated Jeet Kune Do means the "Way of the Intercepting Fist" and has as its symbolic representation what we call Bruce Lee's Core Symbol . The Chinese characters around the symbol and the core philosophical tenet behind JKD translate to "Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation". The term Jeet Kune Do was coined around 1967 by Bruce Lee in an attempt to put a name to his expression of his martial way. Lee wrestled with putting a name to his art as he constantly veered away from any type of crystallization of its essence, however, the simple need to refer to it in some concrete way won out and Jeet Kune Do was born.
The idea of intercepting is key to JKD, whether it be the interception of your opponent's technique or intent. The basic principles behind JKD are:
1. Directness
2. Simplicity
3. Non-classical form or the form of no form
The techniques and the philosophies of JKD apply to real life situations and real combat. Jeet Kune Do consists of physical techniques and applied philosophies and requires the practitioner to train him or herself to their most combat ready state so that when faced with a particular situation, the tools needed are readily available.

<http://www.altn.com/Products/Default.asp?product_id=MDaemon> MDaemon
email server for Windows is the best choice for managing your
organization's messaging and collaboration infrastructure." Secunia
Research has discovered a security issue in MDaemon, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
Vulnerable Systems:
* MDaemon version 9.0.5
* MDaemon version 9.0.6
* MDaemon version 9.51
* MDaemon version 9.53
The problem is caused due to the application by default being installed in
the "MDaemon" folder in the system root with insecure permissions
(granting members of the "Users" group permissions to create files and
directories). This can be exploited by e.g. placing a malicious
RASAPI32.DLL or MPRAPI.DLL library in the "MDaemon\APP" directory.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM
NOTE: This is a general problem for the majority of Windows applications
when installed outside the "Program Files" folder due to the way libraries
are located.
Also, fans of "Colossal Cave Adventure" should try sending the commands:
"XYZZ" and "PLUG" to the POP3 service or "XYZZY" and "PLUGH" to the ODMR
service (port 366/TCP).
Solution :
Set secure permissions on the directory or install in the "Program Files"
folder (according to the vendor, this should not have an impact on the
functionality of the application).
Time Table:
29/08/2006 - Vendor notified.
31/08/2006 - Vendor response.
24/10/2006 - Vendor issues version 9.5.0, which does not address the
security issue correctly (just checks for the presence of RASAPI32.DLL in
the application folder).
26/10/2006 - Vendor contacted again.
31/10/2006 - Vendor response.
16/11/2006 - Public disclosure.

The newly released ATI Catalyst 10.4a Preview driver now corrects the loading issue for Radeon HD 4000, 3000, and 2000 series video cards. AMD warns that the driver has not been fully tested and is provided as is, without official support from the company. In other words, don't download it unless you're experiencing the above-mentioned BFBC2 bug. Also, the 10.4a is not compatible by Radeon HD 5800 Eyefinity 6 series products.

This reminds me, I was a bit confused over the meaning and difference between these polling options. Is the general idea to have none on if you can and switch on an option or two if you need them? I'm running VNC server on an NT Server box (P200Pro) and Viewer on a P133 Win95 box across standard Ethernet (no switching). I did have Poll Window Under Cursor on and I put the sluggishness down to the busy network. But seeing this thread prompted me to look at the Task Manager and there I saw VNC's processor usage at 17-21% idle and 65% when I moved the mouse, 80%+ when I dragged a window about. So I switched off the polling and it now idles at 1%, going to only 21% dragging. The display updates slower (it "pauses") but I can live with that. But do I need any of the polling on? Perhaps Poll Console Windows? Is there a known best compromise in this situation or do I just suck it and see?

HI All
I want to print invoices created in SAP. I am following steps below to print invoice
1. I am using correspondence request first. From FBL5n/FB03 through Environment ->Correspondence->Request. Correpondence is requested for selected document
2. Triggering F.61 (Trigger for correspondence). This generates the spool request.
3. Going to SP01 am able to see invoice and print.
But this way am able to print only one invoice at a time because of single correspondence request.
Is there a way we can request multiple (mass number of documents to select) invoices in correspondences once and print all of them at once?
Thanks in advance
Maintain "Bank Statement" field as 1 or 2 in all customer masters.
Then execute F.27
Then go to SP02
and print the invoices.
HI Ravi
Thanks for your input. I tried with account statement (bank statement) 1 in master data and requested for correspondence. Still it accepts only one document for correspondence.
Is there a way we can select multiple (range) documents together and request for correspondence?
Have you tried with F.27.
There is no need to do FB12, directly you can go to F.27 instead of F.61
Hi Ravi
I just tried with F.27 Only with SAP 19 as a correspondence type and i get two types of errors
1. If i enter date i get error saying "Correspondence type SAP19 is not permitted since no date required"
2. If i remove date (or date ranges) i get error saying " Enter atleast posting date"
Do you know where am i doing wrong?
SAP06 is to be used for F.27 for balance confirmation. (note this is not for individual invoices)
HI Ravi
I am trying to print Invoices, not Customer account statements.
I was checking your replies to one of the thread" Multiple invoices thru AR"
For single statement / single invoice
First FB12 (note that you will always only select one time for a single statement / invoice)
Then go to F.61
Then SP02
For multiple statement (NOT multiple invoices)
1. Make sure you have selected bank statement 2 for all customer and vendor records.
2. F.27 - Execute (make sure you are using correspondence type of statement NOT invoice)
3. Go to SP02
If you follow these steps, there should not be any issue at all, provided if there is sufficient configuration in your system.
THere is no option of printing multiple invoices from AR at all? Any other options of doing it?
I also have same problem and I manage to print mass invoice SAP19. the step is:
1. FB03 / FB12 request for printing ( must individual document )
2. F.61 > input company code, correspondence type and all document number
3. go to SP02
NOTE : you have to input Repeat at Print date if you want to re-print again. It is not required for the 1st time print.

Ducati 1198S vs Ferrari 458 Italia. Again!
Earlier this month, it was Option Auto that did a Ducati 1198 vs Ferrari 458 Italia shootout, and now it's Motor Trend who've had a go with the two gorgeous Italian machines.
The Ducati, which has a kerb weight of 198 kilos, is fitted with an 1198cc L-twin that produces 170 horsepower. The Italian bike accelerates from zero to 160km/h in 5.1 seconds, does the quarter mile in 10 seconds flat and costs about $22,000. The Ferrari weighs 1,558 kilos, is fitted with a 4.5-litre V8 that produces 557 horsepower, accelerates from zero to 160km/h in 7.0 seconds, does the quarter mile in 11.1 seconds and costs about $230,000.
With machines as gorgeous as these, there can't be a 'loser' in this shootout, but the video is pure entertainment.

It would have been interesting to see what Steve Rapp could have done in the Ferrari.

Multi-Hued Kuggen Building (the Cog) Features A Rotating Photovoltaic Shade Scre...
Start Slideshow
- KuggenKuggen, an office building in Gothenburg, Sweden is coated in bold shades of red and unlike any sustainable building you've ever seen before. Inspired by both cog wheels (kuggen means cog) and the saw-toothed edge of a leaf, the circular building wasdesigned by Winngårdh Arkitektkontor and is composed of six floors each skewed to the south to provide shade for the floor below. A high performance facade and efficient window placement are combined with solar power on the roof as well as a moving photovoltaic shade screen on the top floor. Aiming for energy efficiency and a cool place to hang out, the office building serves the Chalmers University community and includes public meeting space and a coffee shop too.1
- KuggenKuggen is located in Lindholmsplatsen surrounded by traditional gray buildings on a lively public plaza. The formerly windy site is made more friendly as a result of the circular building, which helps calm the breezes as they wrap around the facade.2
- KuggenInside, the bottom floor serves as a coffee shop and meeting space for employees, faculty and students of the University, with the second floor serving as public space and then the top 4 floors hold offices.3
- KuggenEach floor is 1.5 meters larger in circumference growing by two windows per floor and is shifted towards the south to provide shade for the floor below.4
- KuggenSince the top floor has no shade, a metal track and sun screen was installed on the facade, which tracks the sun, providing shade for the spaces behind. Photovoltaics are integrated into the screen to produce electricity for the building's use.5
- KuggenThe dramatic facade is shaped like a cog wheel or the saw-tooth profile of a leaf. The triangular shaped windows let in light where it is needed most, which is at the ceiling, so daylight can penetrate into the center of the building.6
- KuggenLong-lasting ceramic panels serve as the facade's cladding, which were then painted in bold shades of red.7
- KuggenThe building's structure is composed of prefabricated concrete panels that provide thermal mass.8
- KuggenMotion-activated natural ventilation and lighting systems help reduce energy use to where and when it is needed.9
- KuggenWith all the energy efficiency measures, daylighting and the facade, the building uses less then 60 kWh/sq meter.10

Health and Safety
International travelers are exposed to many new experiences and phenomena and among these, certain risks. This page offers international travelers resources to mitigate risks inherent to international travel. Safety is a global, national, regional, and local phenomenon. While no study abroad program can offer an absolute guarantee that students will be safe, many steps can be taken to reduce the risk of becoming injured or a victim of crime abroad. Above all, health and safety is the shared responsibility of the student traveler, their family, the program provider or host, UNH, and in-country police and service providers. All UNH students traveling abroad on University-related activities, such as UNH Managed, Exchange and Approved study abroad programs, are covered by the UNH International Travel Assistance and Insurance Program. Study abroad students on UNH Managed, Exchange and Approved Programs participate in pre-departure orientation meetings and receive detailed health and safety information before they go abroad.
Below is a list of helpful health and safety resources to help in planning your abroad experience.
If you have any special needs, make sure to read the information below before you apply to a program.
UNH Resources
- UNH International Travel Assistance and Insurance Program
- International SOS is the travel assistance provider for the UNH international travel insurance program. In addition to emergency services, they provide extensive health, safety, travel and cultural information on the web, with their mobile app, and via telephone consultants.
Medications: Call International SOS (215-942-8478) to find out the host country regulations & availability of your medications. Check to make sure you medication is legal in the countries you are traveling to and make sure you know how to maintain your supply for the full length of your trip.
- Learn about health conditions and recommended immunizations at least 4-6 weeks before you plan to go abroad. Visit the UNH Travel Clinic for counseling and reduced rates on many immunizations.
- If you are a parent, read our Parent's Guidebook for information on everything from money matters to health and safety while abroad.
- Read the student Study Abroad Handbook
U.S. Department of State Resources
- The Travel Safety Reference Guide published by the U.S State Department Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) provides comprehensive and easy checklists and information about a variety of travelers issues.
- Country Crime and Safety Reports
- Visit http://www.travel.state.gov for security advisories and other travel guidance
- Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)
- Country Specific Information
- U.S. State Department's role in a crisis
Other Resources
- Center for Disease Control (CDC) has extensive world health and travelers health information.
- World Health Organization (WHO) is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system and provides country-specific health information and resources for international travel and health.
Special Needs
If you have any special needs, check with your study abroad advisor to determine how she can best help you. Special needs that are not inherently obvious may include:
- Learning disabilities
- Mental health issues
- Eating disorders
- Health related issues
- Dietary restrictions
Regulations for accessibility for individuals with physical disabilities may not be as up-to-date in other countries as they are in the U.S., but if given enough advance notice, many program sponsors can make arrangements for a successful trip. Check to see if accommodations like wheelchair ramps are provided in all modes of transportation, and to determine if the housing facilities are equipped to serve you.
Please be forthcoming and frank with your program sponsor about your special needs. Sharing this information will not hinder your admission to a program. Withholding information about your needs will likely obstruct your successful completion of a study abroad program, and may have significant academic and financial repercussions.
Special Needs Resources
- UNH Disability Services for Students works closely with the Center for International Education and is an essential resource for students.
- Mobility International USA is a cross-disability organization serving those with cognitive, hearing, learning, psychiatric, physical, systemic, vision and other disabilities.

Billie Holiday: I'm a Fool to Want You
I'm a Fool to Want You
Billie Holiday (vocals)
Lady in Satin (Columbia 65144)
Billie Holiday (vocals),
Ray Ellis Orchestra.
Composed by Joel Herron, Frank Sinatra & Jack Wolf.
Recorded: New York, February 19-21, 1958
Rating: 81/100 (learn more)
On Billie Holiday's rendition of "I'm a Fool to Want You," a huge discrepancy exists between the quality of the vocal production and the sound of the orchestra, which clashes badly with Holiday's creative, nuanced singing. The orchestra is undynamic and easily forgotten amidst its banal facelessness. In fact, the horns and strings sound recorded at lower fidelity than Holiday's vocals and are easily overlooked when focusing solely on her singing, which was captured well enough to expose many of her most personal nuances. Up close, listeners can hear slow breaths, purposeful flattening of certain notes, and an intimate creative atmosphere for which she alone is responsible. It sounds as if she was having a great day; she obviously enjoyed the tune and was well prepared to interpret it. It fit her style well, and the emotional resonance she displays is tremendous. Her vocals are great, the remastering helps balance things out somewhat, and the song itself is a gem. However, repeated listening does not obscure the fact that the ensemble's lack of personality leaves no impression. If the song's co-writer Frank Sinatra ever heard this cut, he probably loved Billie's vocal while simultaneously bemoaning the weak musical accompaniment.

TC TO ANNA D. B. MONTAGU; 13 November 1829; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18291113-TC-ADBM-01; CL 5:32-34.
Craigenputtoch, Dumfries, 13th Nov. 1829.
My Dear Madam,
After a long silence, or mere listening with indirect replies, I again address you, and on the humblest possible subject: a matter of business, relating entirely to myself. Why I trouble you in such a case, your helpfulness in past times, and constant readiness to do me service will sufficiently explain. At the end of your last letter there occurs a little incidental notice of some opening for a medical man in Warwick; coupled with an advice from Badams that it might be worth my Brother's attention. Now it so chances that to my brother, at this season, this announcement is of all others the most interesting. The worthy Doctor has crammed himself with all manner of Scottish, English and Continental Science in this department; and ever since his return, has been straining his eyes to discover some spot where he might turn it to some account for himself and others; manifesting in the meanwhile not a little impatience, that no such spot was to be found, but that Fate should enthrall free Physic, and condemn so bright a candle to burn altogether under a bushel.1 On our return from Edinburgh I transmitted him your tidings; on which he wrote instantly to Badams for further information; wrote also to me that he thought the outlook highly promising; and in fine, this night, has ridden up hither, some five and thirty miles (from Scotsbrig) to take counsel with me on the subject, and lament that Badams has given him no answer. My petition, therefore, is that you would have the goodness to help the honest Adventurer in this affair, and procure for him, by such ways as lie open to you, what light can be had in regard to the actual, practical aspect it presents. My own opinion is that a very little encouragement would bring the man to Warwick, for he is fond of England, and utterly wearied of idleness, as passiveness at his age may with little injustice be named. My devout prayer too has long been that he were settled somewhere, with any rational prospect: for he has a real solidity, both talent and character, as I judge, and wants nothing but Action to make him a very sufficient fellow. Do pray, therefore, help the embryo Hippocrates a little, if you can! He will wait here some eight days, in expectation of your writing, and perhaps also persuading Badams to write: nay at any time I can forward the news to him into Annandale, within a week of their arrival. Write what you know without apprehension of consequences: honest Jack risks little by any such adventure; having little save a clear head and a stout honest heart, which are not so easily lost and won. For my own share, I too am getting fond of Warwick: it is in the heart of Old England, whither I should then have a pretext for coming; nay it is within a day's journey of London, where, among other wondrous things, there is "a 25 Bedford Square."
You are not to account this a Letter, but only a sort of commercial Message, a Man-of-Business Commission. "Do you know, Mr. —?" said John Wilson once, in my hearing, to a noted writer to the Signet, proud enough of his signet honours, "there is nothing in nature that I detest so much as a Man of Business." He of the Signet had imagined himself high in the other's good graces, and now of a sudden saw himself quite stranded, and left alone on the beach.2
I am thinking to take the Correspondence with you out of my wife's hands, so languidly does she manage it; and of old times, it was altogether mine. I know not that I have yet found, or shall ever find any correspondent to replace you.
You will kindly remember me to Mr. Procter and his lady, in whose welfare I must always feel a friend's interest. This is not altogether "words," and yet what more can I make it?
Assure Mr. Montagu, that his Book was the most delightful I have read for many days.3 Your hand also was often visible in it. Why does he not publish more such? I have got old Ascham,4 and read a little of him, when I have done work, every evening. Do you ever see Edward Irving? He stretched himself out here on the moors, under the free sky, for one day, beside me, and was the same honest soul as of old.——Badams will not write to me, I know, but some day I will see him and make him speak.
Believe me ever, my dear Madam, /
Your affectionate friend, /
Thomas Carlyle.

A woodpecker on a cold winter day
While walking down Reservoir Road in Georgetown, DC yesterday, I noticed a couple of birds flying above me. Even to my non-birdwatcher eyes they looked unmistakably like woodpeckers, although I had certainly not expected to see woodpeckers in a residential neighborhood, especially on a day when the temperature was barely above freezing.
One of them flew across the street and disappeared, but the 2nd one alighted itself on the tree right next to me. And not only that but it also stayed there while I went into my bag, got my camera out, removed the lens cap, turned it on, guessed and then adjusted the exposure (yes, I almost always do the exposure manually) and took 3 pictures of it.
John, who writes A DC Birding Blog, and to whom I appeal routinely whenever I can't identify a bird, recognized this one from the pictures as a yellow-bellied sapsucker. This area appears to be near the northern border of its winter range.

For the love of god....does a co-op mod exisit for this awesome game!?!?
-Tyler the Jedi Master
No, but a CoOp mod for JKA (which will eventually run the JKO maps hopefully) is in development.
I remember hearing it was almost impossible with JO... can't remember why though, I think it was posted here somewhere.
The short answer is that the JKO MP engine had a smaller capacity for objects than SP. As such, booting up some of the SP maps in MP would result in the game crash.
