I graze, school and jump my horse in a few rented acres. I've heard stories that I will need planning permission to put up jumps in my field – is this true?
By Your Horse
Solicitor Martin Pate advises:
There's been a lot of talk about this topic and, to a degree, the position remains unclear. The first thing to consider is what use the land has been categorized as. Land ceases to be agricultural when you begin importing feed onto it, erecting stables and exercising horses on it. Consequently, a 'change of use' would have taken place.A balance needs to be struck between the primary use of the field – grazing – and the ancillary use of the land – exercising horses. If the field is generally used for grazing, but occasionally to jump in, it could be argued that no change of use has occurred. However, if the field has permanent obstacles and is no longer grazed, change of use is likely. This would require planning permission.Other factors to be considered include whether you're trading as a business, eg a riding school. If so, planning permission is probably needed. You should also consider if the jumps could be regarded as an eyesore.The decision whether planning permission is needed for exercising and jumping horses on the land lies with your local planning authority. If you're uncertain, seek advice from them. If it's possible to prove that the field has been used predominately to exercise and jump horses for more than 10 years, it would be possible to apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness for existing use.The fee for an application for planning permission costs around £150 to £250, and retrospective planning can also be sought. Application forms can be obtained from your local planning authority.Finally, as the land is rented, check with the owner before you use the field for schooling and jumping.

Ouest wore a polka-dot shirt today which prompted what has become my favorite word out of her mouth—poke-a-knot. Grandmas, next time you're buying Ouest a dress, please look for poke-a-knots.
Went in to Guaymas this afternoon. Not much to say really. It's a city. It's got Home Depot, McDonald's, and all the rest. All we did today was eat and grocery shop. These kids of mine are really ridiculous with the eating. I mean, they're kids, they're small, they shouldn't eat ten dollars worth of fruit a day should they? When I was a kid I ate ten dollars worth of bologna a day—I doubt if I ate ten dollars worth of fruit in a year. Nowadays I eat like one banana. The kids? They eat two mangos, three kiwis, a pound of grapes, a banana, a melon, an apple, and maybe some pineapple. People ask us what the hardest thing about cruising with kids is. I'll tell you—and it has nothing to do with sailing. Feeding them is the hardest part of cruising with kids.

Same here in Miami - was at a show looking for a PPS three weeks ago. Nobody had the PPS but they all wanted to sell me the Shield. Go figure!
Printable View
I like my 40 pretty well and it's still growing on me. Would I wait for months? I doubt it, even knowing what I know about the Shield (which is all good btw). Pick up a pocket holster for your snubbie and roll until you can get the next thing. Just my .02. Of course, my advice is cheap since I was able to scratch that itch. Good luck.
Just keep searching. Waiting for a single place to get them is probably a very hit or miss proposition. I lucked out and someone posted one on our local forum because they didn't like it for pocket carry which is why they picked it up. I got it for $400 from them. And my wife loves it and I do too (I want one too - in .40 cal). So, to me it would be worth the wait.
EMP, how about contacting a few of the larger, nationwide sporting goods chain stores (ie, Dick's) and have them check their inventory. Many might have this store-by-store visibility. If they'll sell and ship a firearm, then you've got your in-stock Shield.
Failing that, perhaps some of the folks who've posted about available Shield pistols in their area could PM you with the name/phone of the shop that has them in stock.
I got mine when they first came out. I was a the shop when he opened his first one. He handed it to me to check out, I never have it back. It's been a great little weapon.
I had a chance to compare a Shield and a Walther PPS side by side last month. Went with the PPS.
I just passed one up at a local mom and pop gun shop for $429. I almost bought it just because they are so hard to come by, but didn't think it would be a good idea if I came home with another.
I dont know much about firearms manufacturing or who does what but I do know that Smith & Wesson does (or did at one point) outsource manufacturing of thier polymer frames.
Back when I was in school for tool and dye making I interviewd for a QC job at a small injection moldong factory in Deep River, Connecticut. Thier biggest client was S&W.
Outsourcing may or may not have some play in the backlog and low production quantity.
Note: I never took the job so I am not offering this information in violation of any sort of hush hush agreement

Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen to Join Rolling Stones for "One More Shot" Special
Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and The Black Keys will join The Rolling Stones for a pay-per-view special called "One More Shot" on Saturday.
The concert will be telecast live from Newark, New Jersey at 9 p.m. Eastern.
It's the Stones' final 50 & Counting anniversary show.
"We're excited these extraordinary artists, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and the Black Keys, have agreed to help celebrate our 50th Anniversary as we share the night live with our fans all over the world. Now the fun begins of trying to figure out the best songs to perform together," said the legendary band in a statement.
Gaga is pretty excited.
"He had me at 'hello, it's Mick,'" she tweeted on Monday.
The Stones will also perform this week as part of the all-star "12-12-12" show at Madison Square Garden to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief.

With Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha defeated, it is up to Naruto to defeat Aoi so Idate can continue the race. After a few failed attacks, Naruto is finally able to defeat Aoi, which means Idate can continue the race. Though Fukusuke is already near the finish line, with determination and encouragement from Naruto, Idate manages to catch up and win the race, seemingly saving the Wasabi family. However, the daimyō's minister objects, claiming that Idate cheated, as Naruto carried him for part of the race. According to the minister, this violates the rule that the runners must do the race on their own two legs. Just as it seems that Idate will be disqualified, the daimyō objects, declaring that no such rule exists. He then reveals a photo of the minister taking a bribe from the Wagarashi family, explaining why he had invented the rule. As a result of this, as well as other poor conduct, the Wagarashi are forcibly disbanded.

I recently got the opportunity to sample some of the many new entrées recently added to the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant menu. My first trip took me to the Citadel Crossing location on 513 N. Academy Blvd. in eastern Colorado Springs. I was immediately greeted by a friendly staff, a warm inviting atmosphere, and a robust scent of garlic.
As my server, Stephanie seated me, we began discussing the latest additions to the menu. She struck me as being very knowledgeable of all that Olive Garden had to offer. She recommended several mouth-watering options. Stephanie also informed me the glasses of wine were complimentary. So I seized upon her informative recommendations, and tried one sample glass of red, and one of white. The red wine was Rosso dolce Roscato. It had a nice ruby color with a sweet, fruity flavor that was a symphony on the tongue. The white was Evolution White Blend. It was okay. It was too dry and lacked any distinguishable flavor.
I started my meal off trying the new Antipasti Italian Meet and Cheese salad topper on the complimentary salad, for $2.99 extra. It consists of hard and Genoa salami, pepperoni, and slices of mozzarella cheese. It enhanced my enjoyment of the salad immensely: more color; more flavor. It was absolutely delicious, I couldn't get enough. I would have liked to have seen more dark greens. The garlic/butter bread sticks continue to be a taste of heaven. Their succulent aroma made my mouth water.
For my main dish, I had the marinated Garlic Rosemary Chicken off their Lighter Italian Fare section. On arrival, the plating of the entrée was very appealing to eye, while the aroma taunted my nose. The white meat chicken, grilled to tender juicy perfection, rested on a bed of steamed spinach leaves. Topped with sweet caramelized garlic cloves, rosemary garnish, and garlic parmesan mashed potatoes for $13.99. The succulently seasoned chicken melted in my mouth. The mashed potatoes was smooth creamy goodness.
My second trip was to the Olive Garden at Chapel Hills Mall,, 7815 N. Academy Blvd. I was quickly seated by warm and friendly wait staff. The ambiance was friendly, relaxing, welcoming. I was a little taken aback when I noticed, unlike the Citadel Crossing location, they used paper napkins instead of cloth.
When my server, Patricia, arrived I ordered Olive Garden's new Spicy Calabrian Wings appetizer for $8.99. The wings are tossed with crushed garlic and chili peppers from the region of Calabria. They come with a gorgonzola dipping sauce. You can increase the heat with their Calabrian chili paste. They provide a small bottle of olive oil you can use to dilute the paste if it is too hot for your taste. Now I love hot and spicy food. So to me, the wings alone with the crushed seasoning were good. They had a little zesty kick, but that was about it. The dipping sauce was tasty. If you like the taste of blue cheese, you'll like the dip. I put some of the paste, no olive oil, on one of the wings, and felt some heat. I waited to see if it would sneak up on me like siracha. For me, there was no massive heat. I finished off the chili paste in three wings. I brought some of the wings home. My mother tried them (just the crushed garlic and chili). She felt the heat immediately, and was brought to tears. So the heat really depends on you individual pallet.
Next I had the Zuppa Toscana soup. It's spicy sausage, russet potatoes, an kale served in a creamy broth. The soup was delicious. Especially with the grated parmesan cheese Patricia offered. In addition I sampled a glass of their new Tuscan White Blend wine. It had a fruity bouquet, nice color, but was too dry for me. Patricia recommended a different white wine. Moscato from Castello del Poggio, Italy. She said it has an apple and pear flavor. I took her up on her suggestion. The Moscato had a fruitier bouquet. With the first sip, I could easily taste the apple and pear flavors.
Shortly after the main course arrived, the Cucian Mia (my kitchen). This entree lets you choose from six choices different pastas; five types of sauce; four select toppings (at extra cost); and one of three deserts. I had whole wheat linguine, with roast garlic alfredo, and two chicken meatballs. The pasta was cooked beautifully, while the alfredo was creamy and cheesy. The meatballs were tender, juicy and cooked all the way through. The whole dish was superb. If I could have licked the plate clean I would have. I also had a sip of the Moscato with my pasta. It complimented the dish so well, I ordered a full glass to enjoy with the meal.
Lastly I had the new Salty Carmel Tiramisu. The presentation was beautiful, the taste, absolute pleasure. The caramel mousse, vanilla soaked ladyfingers, salted caramel crumble and chocolate shavings just melted in my mouth. Every peace was a slice of heaven. Your mouth will thank you.
From the new entrees I sampled. I have to say they are excellent additions to the Olive garden menu. I highly encourage you to give them a try. They will satisfy your fine dining cravings. If you leave hungry, that's your fault.

JSF 2.0 EDR implementation available from Mojarra
By alexismp on Jun 28, 2008
JSF 2.0 is one of the key Java EE 6 components. As an API, JSF 2.0 (aka JSR 314) is in the Early Access Draft (EDR) phase. Jim Driscoll announces the availability of Mojarra EDR 1 which is the Mojarra (a GlassFish sub-project) implementation of that specification. This EDR release should soon be available on the GlassFish v2 update center and later on on the GlassFish v3 update center.
As a reminder, JSF 2.0 has the following objectives: make writing JSF components easier, integrated support for Ajax, reduced configuration, portlet 2.0 alignment, integration of facelets, support for Rest principles, and more. Ed has a nice summary of yet more features. As an implementation, Mojarra also has a number of interesting features beyond what the specification requires such as Groovy integration for a save/reload development paradigm.
Java EE 6 is scheduled for the first half of 2009. The final version of GlassFish v3 will implement Java EE 6.

Dirt 3
Dirt 3
Submitted by Leevers
Many of you no doubt can recall the original Colin McRae rally games. They provided countless hours of fun driving through snow, dirt and mud as well as spectacular crashes. They were nothing short of the best racing games ever released. Rally driving was at its peak and Colin McRae took Subaru to new heights. However, nothing prepares us for the generation of games that are presented to us today.
The original DiRT was a huge success selling 500,000 copies within the first week! However, whilst the game received fantastic reviews, it was shadowed by the Helicopter accident that claimed Colin McRae's life. At this point people were buying DiRT for very different reasons, and no doubt the entire rally community was in mourning.
I had been anticipating the release of DiRT3 ever since I finished DiRT2 but I had reservations in my expectations as I had no idea how Codemasters were going to top a realistic and visually stunning DiRT2. However, Codemasters set out to prove me wrong.
I started up the game and straight away I was presented with visually stunning menus and design. A tad complicated maybe, but that's not going to tarnish my thoughts. I dove in the deep end and jumped into the campaign mode. Off I went…. Straight away my eyes went from half shut due to lack of sleep the night before to nothing short of full of life! The graphical detail of this game blew me away. DiRT2 gave us next generation graphical detail, but DiRT3 gives us out of this world visuals. Here I am planting my foot on the accelerator and I find myself blinded by the dust of the drivers ahead of me. Rocks are thrown up on my windscreen only to cause large cracks in the glass. As each second goes by I find myself fully immersed in what could possibly be the closest thing to the real deal!
It is really difficult to give you an idea of how marvelous this game really is and I don't think any video or screenshot can prepare you for when those lights go green.
I have since completed a very large chunk of the campaign mode and with so much put into this game by the legends over at Codemasters, I will provide you with some examples of the level of detail shown that I think are incredible.
Sounds – Who would of thought driving through snow with a 650hp engine would have your ears listening to snowflakes chewed up by the spikes on the wheels along with the roar of the turbocharged engines.
Weight Distribution – Many rally games have lacked the ability to allow you to jump into a car using helmet cam and race around corners and giving you the ability to feel the weight shift of the vehicle. Codemasters have really hit the nail on the head with this one. Racing around a corner flat stick whilst holding the car in a drift has you really feeling the roll of the body and what's better is that each car feels different! Simulation has hit new height people!
Water Crossing – There is a point in a programmer's mind where they ask themselves 'how far do I go?' The addition to DiRT3 that had me most excited is the fact that you could be racing on a dirt track and find yourself with a water crossing obstacle. You think 'I'll hit it as fast as I can' and sure enough, you plant your foot on the pedal and you race through it. Little did I expect that the driver behind me to experience the water being thrown from my vehicle and onto the dry dirt creating mud, thus changing how he/she drives out of that puddle as the mud causes a different traction effect. This feature and level of thought blew my mind!
I cannot express enough how incredible I think this game is. It blew my mind and I guarantee it'll blow yours.
The only 2 things negative I found about the game was the menu system that I believe took a backwards turn from DiRT2, making it slightly more complicated than it had to be. The second is what I myself feel is true in that the vehicles feel a little light on their feet. Sure the weight distribution is there, but it just seems like the cars float more than they did in DiRT2. Does this occur in real rally driving? I'll let an expert answer that.
All in all, fantastic game and true credit goes to Codemasters for providing a no bars held approach to gaming development.

I present you with 'The Answer' to Rally Simulation
15 Comments so far
Nice read i have had reservations about buying this one because as good as Dirt2 was i did not particularly like all the circuit driving with silly buggys and so forth. I am more interested in the Rallying that the first games gave us on PS1.
Yet i hear lots of good things about this one so think i will give it a shot.
Nice review Leevers, and agree with what you said.
Mutliplayer is also a blast, something that the reviewer seems to have overlooked.
Play it with mates and a good time <b>will<b> be had by all.
I did neglect to mention the multiplayer aspect. As rocket has stated, multiplayer is incredibly fun and addictive that 6 hours of your night can disappear before your eyes. I believe it may even increase blood pressure but am yet to prove this.
Good review, but in my humble opinion i can't agree in any way, shape or form with calling it "'The Answer' to Rally Simulation"
Too most, if not all in the Simulation community that title still belongs to Richard Burns Rally.
nice one Leevers
Looks like they have managed to bring out yet another awesome game of Dirt
I've been looking for this answer for quite some time Leevers.............. :) gg mate I'll get it soon
I am very pleased with the thought and don't feel like adding anything in it. It a perfect answer.
Having great fun with DIRT3 on the Xbox. Then discovered the online mulitplayer. HUGE fun :-)
Gamertag: ZALP66
Just noticed the comment in Richard Burns Rally. Another one lost from the Sport :-( Anyway, anyone else play the Mobil 1 Rally on PC? 15 minute stages based on real UK rally stages. Could find that 60 minutes playing at 9pm would result in the clock going to 3 am.
Thanks for the article Leevers. I've been thinking about getting this one. I love the Colin McRae rally games and I've got Dirt 2. I didn't know if this one would be much of an improvement so I'd been dragging my feet but it sounds like it's taken the next step with graphics and game play.
Thanks for the review mate
I agree with most of it.
The major issue I have with it is the epic load times on the PC.
I found the amount of time i spent playing the stage was axctually less than the time it took to load it.
This is a great game but I just can't bring myself to wait that long for a 1 and a half minute stage.
Wow. Doesn't take me anywhere near that time to load in stages. I thought for the level of detail etc the load times was extremely quick. Must vary a lot between PCs.
I enjoyed reading your review.
Actually it makes we want to get this game :)
Haven't played a rally game since the Colin McReay series.
I'm wondering if my old steering wheel is still compatible. I might get a demo and give it shot.
Thanks again for a great read!
Nice review, Leevers! There is one other thing that I liked better about DiRT 2 - the ability to purchase and upgrade your own vehicles. I don't like that DiRT 3 forces you to choose various "teams" to drive for, each with it's own vehicle. How many professional drivers change teams from race to race in RL? I'd much rather have "Team Swift" with it's own small fleet of eligible vehicles to choose from for each race. DiRT 2 was much better at providing the feeling of a rookie rally driver moving up through the ranks and becoming world famous...giving 2 much more of a RPG feel than 3.

Health & Pregnancy
Skin Problems of Pregnancy
Acne continued...
On the flip side, some women actually report their acne gets better with pregnancy, he tells WebMD. "Acne is a hormonally-driven condition, which is why some women take oral contraceptives to clear up their complexion, so it makes sense that hormone fluctuations during pregnancy would affect acne," he says.
In addition, oil glands respond to androgen, the male sex hormone that increases during pregnancy, too. This causes the oil glands to produce large quantities of oil called sebum, which clogs the opening of the oil gland and results in a "blackhead."
But don't panic, your skin will most likely clear up after pregnancy. "If breakouts are severe while pregnant, there are certain safe medicines we can use during pregnancy including topical antibiotics," he says.
"Cleansing daily with an over-the-counter cleanser that contains alpha-hydroxy acid can also keep breakouts to a minimum," he says.
Spider Woman?
Spider angiomas are collections of tiny dilated blood vessels that usually radiate from a central point and resemble the legs of a spider. "They are thought to be related to changes in hormone levels, which is why they can come out during pregnancy," Katz says.
"Some women develop angiomas during pregnancy on their face, chest, or sometimes on the arms or the abdomen, " he says. Angiomas may clear up after pregnancy, but if not, they can be treated effectively with lasers, he says.
Stretch Marks
More than 90% of pregnant women will develop stretch marks in response to the pulling and stretching of underlying skin during pregnancy, Kroumpouzos says. Stretch marks are pink or purple bands in the stomach area and sometimes on breasts or thighs.
"Exercise and use of lotions or creams with alpha-hydroxy acids can be used to prevent stretch marks from occurring," he says.
Mask of Pregnancy?
Chloasma, also known as melasma or the mask of pregnancy, occurs when the sun-exposed skin on the upper cheeks, forehead, and/or upper lip turns a tan, brownish color because excess pigment is deposited in the skin's upper layers.
"This is a similar phenomenon that occurs when women take oral contraceptives and very often it will go away after pregnancy," Leffel says. And, "in some cases, it persists and we have to try different treatments including bleaching creams or chemical peels after delivery."
It's a good idea to use sunscreen during pregnancy to prevent chloasma from occurring or to prevent existing patches from getting darker, he says.
Thank you for submitting your response.
Good to Know is a new feature that allows members of the community to answer questions from WebMD experts, doctors, staff, and other community members. We're testing this new feature and we'd like your feedback.

The stoned out of its gourd moon at the end of this Little Caesars clip
fills me with rage. But not enough to not grab some of their product when I went to see the Detroit Red Wings play Saturday night, the first time I�ve managed to do so in over a decade. To save on parking costs, I put my car in the Greektown casino structure, thinking I might walk the just over 1 mile to the Joe Louis Arena. As I exited the lot, a cold wind dictated I take the People Mover, Detroit�s joke of a transit system, instead. It was the first time I�d been on that thing since 1998, as far as I recall, and it sounds like a creaking old geezer of a system, brakes wheezing into each stop en route to the arena. I walked into the stadium a half hour before gametime, and decided to take a walk around, trying to recall which of the decorations had been in place back in 2002. JLA is outdated, as per today�s hockey arenas, with luxury boxes located only at the top of the seating, and no flashy scoreboards ringing the arena, but it felt nice to just watch a game without the whizbang graphics. Not to say I�ve seen much in the way of NHL hockey lately � the last NHL game I saw was in 2003, when I went down to Columbus, Ohio to interview for grad school on a weekend that just happened to have a Blue Jackets/Vancouver Canucks game on the Thursday, and Michigan-Ohio State showdowns on Friday and Saturday. Hey, they asked which weekend I wanted to visit, who was I to ignore a perfectly fortuitous calendar?
The Canucks won that game back in 2003, and they were the opposition for the Red Wings Sunday night. Even though they scored first, and led 3-2 after the first, they would not be victorious again. As I chomped my thoroughly mediocre Little Caesars pizza (some would claim that that�s the best Little Caesars pizza ever rises to, but I grew up on the stuff, and enjoy it just fine, more often than not), I had to be careful, as I kept having to jump up to celebrate Wings goals. Three times in the second, twice before I�d disposed of the meal, the red light went on and Red Wings fans rejoiced. Thrice more in the third, and we left happy with an 8-3 victory, the exultant roar of �South Detroit� as Journey�s �Don�t Stop Believing� played late in the game still ringing in our ears.
I fully intended to ride the People Mover back to the casino stop, but the massive line at the ramp up to the platform decided that I would walk the distance, after all. I walked down the step in front of the Steve Yzerman entrance, uncertain if I was going the right way, but then I spied the Detroit River, and the glow of a whole different country on the far side, and I knew where I was. Had a moment�s mirth thinking that I�d have to pay one heck of a toll to get across the bridge, or through the tunnel nearer by, as I don�t have a currently valid passport. I kept walking, going past the Detroit Princess (cool old riverboat
), strolling behind Hart Plaza, over the tunnel to Canada, arriving finally at the Renaissance Center. Turning left at that collection of cylinders, and walking a few blocks further on, I arrived back at the casino. Emboldened by the altered employment status, though I don�t actually start for a couple of weeks, I played a few dollars I haven�t earned yet. Fortune was with me, though, as the evening�s expenditures were swiftly won back (as in, hockey ticket plus gas plus food plus the $20 I tossed on the craps table, plus about 50 bucks more), and I left, not trusting the next player to do me any more favors.
I had a pretty decent Sunday, then. How about you?

Many people out there are expecting the iPhone to land on Verizon Wireless netbook this year. One analyst that has been predicting this has now changed his mind and said it won't happen.
The reasoning for the mind change is that the analyst believes that the iPad 3G data plans that AT&T offered came with an extension for a year on the iPhone exclusive. I can see that being possible considering what a deal the data plans are and how badly AT&T wants the iPhone exclusive.
That is bad news for consumers hoping to get the iPhone on Verizon this summer. I wish exclusives on phones would die a quick death.

Few weeks ago, I showed you a short erotic movie from Black Spark called Sunday Faith and we got tons of comments…
So I thought about sharing with you the amazing pictures Black Spark sent me this week.
The mostly black and white serie is very erotic without revealing too much. I really like the subtle sport/rock attitude of the hot jock wearing underwear in the middle of the street.
The mask also add a glimpse of mystery, fantasy and erotism because the whole scene seems forbidden. Anyways, I dont know how to describe what I feel when I look at it, just check out the other pictures after the jump and you'll understand!
Oh, and let me know what you think !
(photo credit : Black Spark)
Yes!!! I am totally with you on that!! I dabble in photography & I absolutly love erotica pics. Like you said, revealing much, WITHOUT revealing all!!!! To me, thas more sexy than full out nude pics. Call me old school,lol
not that thrilled… two much twink for my tastes
I "Liked" them on Facebook, I love the videos and pics they do fucking awesome.
OMG!!! OMFG!!!Super erotic and very nice lightning. What can I say about the model? He is HOT!!! I am a big fan of Black Spark, awesome…
I guess I am also Old Fashion. I like the fact that you always want to see more of what's hiding behind a little piece of clothing. I found it more sexy than full out nude pictures. It helps you work better your imagination "tah dah".
The photos don't feel erotic to me at all. They are beautiful. Almost vulnerable. A man on the streets with no face. Interesting.
Nice pics, but there is nothing special about these photos. Looks like something you might see in any fashion magazine.
Am I the only one that thinks these are pretentious?
What do you mean pretentious ?
I watched the Black Spark video and then looked at these pictures, and I think they're contrived.
I think the pictures try several different elements, but instead of them blending them together, they just seem forced. The mask, hot body, and eerie lighting are all things that are "mysterious", "sexy" and "eerie" in their own respect, but their presentation come off, to me, as vapid.
@Anti1, that's your opinion. Thanks for sharing !
Fortunately, there are thousands of guys who disagree with Anti1. Black Spark may not be to everyone's taste, but it's certainly a shake-up from conventional porn. And that's the point.
I definitely want that backpack.
i love all of them

LiveInstall Solaris 11 from Solaris 10
By unixman on Apr 24, 2012
Oracle Solaris 11 includes a number of key improvements, many of which fundamentally address lifecycle management and patch management challenges present in older versions of the operating system. This continues to be one of the big reasons customers are upgrading to Oracle Solaris 11.
A number of our big customers had previously expressed interest in being able to get onto Oracle Solaris 11 while leveraging their existing Oracle Solaris 10 installed base and related Live Upgrade technology, particularly in the context of now more-than-6-year-old T-series and M-series SPARC systems. Because of how traditional LiveUpgrade technology operates, and the realities of newer modern infrastructure requirements no longer being satisfied by the (now aging) SVR4 packaging subsystem, we've had to ensure that what we offer in deployment capabilities of the system would, now, more closely be in tune with newer demands of today and tomorrow; two of the goals being to offer consistency AND provide for reduction of cost for both - deployment and maintenance.
Elements of our work involve introduction and blended integration of some of the newer technologies like Image Packaging System, Automated Installer, Service Management Facility, newer System Configuration and ZFS root file system. Although this has posed some operational challenges in being able to leverage traditional as-is LiveUpgrade to migrate from Oracle Solaris 10 to Oracle Solaris 11, we did listen to our customers who took the time to talk to us about their interests and needs in this space. To aid in the process, we have published a how-to article that allows customers to follow a LiveUpgrade-like methodology in getting their existing Oracle Solaris 10 system to Oracle Solaris 11 while minimizing risk and still being able to boot back to Oracle Solaris 10 if they so chose. This is particularly of interest to those who have grown to appreciate the value that LiveUpgrade delivers. Here is an illustration of what takes place (click to zoom in). We define an archive system and a migration system. I encourage you to fully read the article (from our growing library of how-to articles) and let me know your thoughts.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore
By Pat Catello
I've heard it said that if one looks hard enough, it is possible to relate the Wizard of Oz to every aspect of life. In fact, it has been rumored that one of the most popular musical Albums of all time, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" can be synchronized to an exact soundtrack of the famous film. I have investigated this, and although there are some similar attributes, I am not sure I am in this camp. I think that there may be some outside influences that are needed in order to acquire this point of view. That being said, the Miami Dolphins are on their way to an abysmal start, and find themselves in a situation that I have not experienced in my lifetime.
I'm sure the inaugural years in the 1960's were somewhat of a strain on their fans, however with any new team entering a formidable league, expectations are much lower and there is a certain amount of leeway given in regard to a learning curve. I've decided that with nowhere else to turn, and my options limited, I would apply the "Wizard of Oz Theory" on South Florida's finest football team. For those unfamiliar with the storyline of the Wizard of Oz, I lend this brief recap for both of you. The movies main character Dorothy lives in Kansas with her dog Toto, and is lifted to a magical journey when a fierce tornado strikes her ranch. She meets 3 main characters with whom she joins on her magical journey down the yellow brick road, in search of a solution to her problems, a dilemma to be solved by the all knowing answerer to life's problems, the empowering and mighty Wizard who resides in the land of Oz.
Her companions come in 3 forms; first the Scarecrow, who is fixated on his lack of one quality, a brain. He is envious of others with this quality and in desperate need to fulfill his need. Then there is the Tin Man, a man in full armored tin, who has a brain, yet lacks what he regards as a more important feature, a heart. Finally there is the Lion, a fully coated specimen, complete with every quality the "King of the Jungle" requires, that is everything except the quality needed to bring his rewards to fruition, the courage to do so. Now I am beginning to find a connection. Let's start with placing the Miami Dolphins football team in the main role of Dorothy. A team with an enormous amount of success in the past, a prolific history that includes 5 Super Bowl appearances, 2 Championships, a Perfect Undefeated Season, and a 17 year quarterback who set nearly every major passing record while wearing the aqua and orange uniform. However, despite the luxury of Dan Marino for all these years, they still search for something to complete them, a modern day Championship. It is here that the tornado makes its way in. No, I am not referring to Jimmy Johnson, although I certainly entertained it, but I will be nice and go with the simple retirement of Dan Marino. I pick this event, because it has become evidently clear that with Marino at quarterback, the Dolphins have always had the luxury of avoiding a prolonged losing streak. There were certainly times when the team was devoid of enough talent to warrant such, but it seemed the lofty abilities of Marino alone was enough to overcome this. In fact the longest losing streak under Marino's leadership was only 5 games, this happened towards the end of the 1988 season, and other than that you have to strain your eyes to find even a 3 game skid. Since his retirement, the Dolphins have had 4 different head coaches in just 8 years, and have struggled to find both stability and consistency. Along this path, the Dolphins have had some very capable components. They were lucky enough to have had arguably the best running back in football for a short period of time in Ricky Williams. It seemed as though they would be able to build around another future Hall of Fame player in Williams, who when he performed, was as good as anyone at the position. Williams however, lacked that all important quality our scarecrow character desired so much, at least when it came to abstaining from a substance that has since suspended him several times from the league, and ultimately cost him his shot at Canton. The Dolphin defense has its share of talent as well, both in the form of a league defensive MVP in Jason Taylor, and the absolute personification of consistency and determination in Zack Thomas. You will not get me to say a bad word about these two players because they are certainly the light that broke through the clouds when the skies got dreary. However, the defensive squad that they play for has always had a "Tin Man" complex in that it lacks heart, the quality needed in tough situations that never seems to show its face when it is needed most. The infamous Monday night debacle at the Meadowlands when the team could not sustain an enormous lead is just the exclamation point of a history of heartless defensive stands. Finally there is the lion, which lacked the courage needed to perform as expected, and for this role I turn to former head coach Nick Saban. Saban took over an ailing franchise with all the roar and intimidation of a ferocious lion, but when the program was placed completely in his hands, he did not have enough courage to tell the truth when it came to his future plans with the team, and left virtually overnight, leaving the franchise to once again pick up the pieces and start over.
However, there is a positive in this story of dismay. When Dorothy and her friends finally arrive at the home of the Wizard of Oz, they find that the Wizard's powers are not the answer. In fact, the mighty Wizard is a fraud and can offer them no help to their dilemmas. Instead, they find the qualities they desired are those which they held inside all along, and simply had to find and develop within themselves. I have said all along I feel this team has key elements and championship caliber players in place; they simply have to look within themselves and bring them out. As the Dolphins continue to follow their yellow brick road this week in hopes of finding their much-needed remedy, keep in mind that there is certainly room for hope. At anytime Jason Taylor and Joey Porter can break out. Ted Ginn Jr. and Trent Green can show why they were brought in with such anticipation and high hopes and Ronnie Brown can continue to prove he can be one of the top backs in this league. But just remember, when the inevitable 3rd and 15 arrives, close your eyes and clap those red high heel shoes together, because, "We're Not In Kansas Anymore!"

IDF Soldiers: Our Ambulance was Attacked with Molotov Cocktail
Video: Soldiers tell of the incident in which they were attacked by Arabs while on their way to treat Arabs wounded in a traffic accident.
By Arutz Sheva
First Publish: 8/30/2011, 3:16 AM
Last night, in response to reports of a serious car accident on the road toward a Palestinian Authority area in Judea and Samaria, IDF paramedics sped off in order to aid the injured.
Their mission came to an abrupt halt, however, when they were attacked; a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the ambulance they were riding in. Undeterred, they continued on their mission: to provide emergency care to all residents of Judea and Samaria, whether Israeli or PA Arab.

LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE on Motown Records (released February 4th), the first album of duets by multi-platinum superstars Toni Braxton & Babyface, wins a #1 R&B and a #4 Soundscan Valentine's Week chart debut on first week sales of 67,000 copies. Described as a "quiet-storm oasis" in People magazine's rave review, LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE is "the highest charting album since 2005 for Braxton, and the highest charting ever for Babyface," as reported by Billboard.
LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE takes off with one of the biggest Urban AC #1 duet hits in recent memory, "Hurt You," co-written by Toni Braxton & Babyface and produced by Babyface, who also handled all guitar, drums, and keyboards on the track. "Hurt You" enters its 25th week on the Adult R&B Songs chart this week, one of the longest-running hits on the chart. The new single from LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE is "Where Did We Go Wrong."
"Toni Braxton and Babyface are two of the most iconic figures in Pop and R&B music," says Ethiopia Habtemariam, SVP of Motown Records. "Their chemistry is undeniable and it is without surprise that this body of work is being so well received. Working with the best and brightest talent of our era, supporting real artistry, and creating music that connects with the people is what the Motown brand represents. Motown is honored to work alongside Toni and Babyface on this special project."
After nearly a half-year of top radio play for "Hurt You," the arrival of LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE was officially launched this month with a non-stop round of television appearances by Toni & Babyface. In addition to her hit weekly Thursday night reality series, WE TV's Braxton Family Values, which wraps up its 4th season on February 20th, the duo have appeared on Good Morning America, Live With Kelly & Michael, The Tonight Show, Conan, The Arsenio Hall Show, Bethenny, The Chew, Tavis Smiley and a TV One "Interludes Live" hour-long concert special. They've also taken over the radio airways with a Steve Harvey radio show special and appearances on Tom Joynerand Clear Channel's Power 105 Breakfast Club, to name a few.
Next month on March 18th, Toni Braxton & Babyface become the latest Grammy Award®-winning artists to join the roster of the new Broadway musical After Midnight as "Special Guest Star" vocalists, for a limited engagement running through March 30th. After Midnight has reintroduced the Cotton Club's exciting tradition of welcoming contemporary artists in limited engagements throughout the musical's run.

LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE was inspired by real events in the lives of Toni Braxton & Babyface, who share an all-time total of 16 Grammy Awards® between them. The album celebrates the strong bond that has been in place between the two artists ever since their first duet on Toni's 1992 debut, "Give U My Heart," the #2 R&B smash co-written and co-produced by Babyface (from the Boomerang movie soundtrack).
LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE is Babyface's first new studio album in nearly seven years, since Playlist (released September 2007), Top 10 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart on the strength of his Top 10 AC version of James Taylor's "Fire & Rain." For Toni, LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE is her first new studio album in nearly four years, since Pulse (May 2010), the #1 R&B album containing the hit single "Yesterday" featuring Trey Songz.

Tournament Page
PALOS VERDES, Calif. – No. 4 Washington will begin the spring season, beginning Sunday at the Northrop Grumman Challenge in Southern California. The tournament hosted by Ohio State will have an elite field with seven of the top-10 teams in the country competing.
The Dawgs are no stranger to entering the spring season with a high national ranking. Just a year ago, Washington was ranked No. 1, but after a solid season the Dawgs stumbled at the NCAA Regional and failed to make the NCAA Finals. This year, Washington will not pay attention to another lofty ranking, instead the Dawgs hope to compete all spring, including one round qualifying to prepare each player for the pressure at the end of the year.
"We learned a lot from last season," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "We are not going to pay attention to rankings at all this year. We are painfully aware that they don't mean anything when trying to reach your goals."
The Dawgs will be immediately tested against the best at the Northrop Grumman. No. 1 USC, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Duke and No. 5 Oklahoma join the fourth-ranked Dawgs to headline a field that includes the nation's top-five teams. In addition, No. 7 Arizona State, No. 9 Oklahoma State, No. 11 Pepperdine, No. 13 Arizona, No. 18 Florida and No. 20 Michigan State are ranked in the top-20. The rest of the field includes, Baylor, North Carolina, Ohio State, Texas and Wake Forest; all traditionally strong programs.
"It's a great field this week," said Mulflur. "That is how we schedule, we want to play against the best."
The 2014 Northrop Grumman Challenge will be played at the Palos Verdes Golf Club on the 6,017-yard par 71. UCLA is the defending champion and holds the record of four Northrop Grumman titles. Last season, the Dawgs finished ninth at the tournament with a three-day total of 66-over 918.
This year, the Huskies will bring a lineup of Charlotte Thomas, SooBin Kim, Ying Luo, Jennifer Yang and Kelli Bowers. Bowers birdied 17 and 18 at Sahalee to get into a playoff for the final spot with Cyd Okino. Bowers then birdied the first hole to earn a spot on this week's team.
The Dawgs are using 18-hole qualifying this spring to approximate the pressure of tournament play. With Okino, Eimi Koga and Monica Huang also playing well, there will be plenty of competition for the travel spots to each tournament.
The Northrop Grumman will feature 8:30 a.m. starts for the first two rounds with groups going off the 1st and 10th holes. For Tuesday's final round, the leaders will play together for an 8 a.m. shotgun start. Live results will be available via golfstat.com.

Massachusetts Video Game Legislation is Stalled
Video game legislation proposed by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino – and authored by Jack Thompson – has stalled in the Massachusetts legislature.
In March legislators heard testimony on HB1423, a bill which would equate violent video games with pornography.
However the Boston Business Journal now reports that the measure has been "sent into study," which essentially means it is on life support. From the Business Journal story:
Menino's proposal, which would make it illegal for minors to buy video games with graphic content, was sent into study in March — a big win for the state's burgeoning video game industry…
But the mayor, seeing a link between violent content and violent behavior, still is in favor of the proposal, and plans to continue to push for it on a grass-roots level, said Larry Mayes, chief of human services for the city of Boston. "To get this through, we're really going to have to do a statewide push. We want to go to the communities, particularly to the parents and sit with them and show them the material."
Mayes said members of the mayor's office plan to hold community meetings starting this summer to educate parents about such violent video games.
The hope is those parents will then advocate for the ban.

Pumpkin Festival Fun for Oak Meadows Fifth Graders
On Friday, all five lucky fifth grade classes at Oak Meadows Elementary School had the opportunity ...
On Friday, all five lucky fifth grade classes at Oak Meadows Elementary School had the opportunity to participate in an all-out pumpkin festival. The idea was to combine fun and learning. Mission accomplished.
Each student received a pumpkin that they proceeded to carry out experiments with for the duration of the festivities. Incorporating both science and math aspects of classroom type activities, students hypothesized whether a pumpkin would sink or float when submerged in water and then got to experiment to actually see for themselves.
Each class went on to estimate and measure the circumference, estimate and determine the weight, and finally estimate and count the number of seeds in their pumpkin.
Students learned about the history of pumpkins and interesting pumpkin facts before enjoying a delicious looking spread of all pumpkin inspired treats, including pumpkin pie and toasted pumpkin seeds, provided by the parents.
Maybe this is the best time of year.

View Full Version :
cheap eats at disneyworld?
All those restaurants look great but for those of us on a budget are there any recommendations?
Do you want recommendations for cheaper table service meals or just counter service or both?
I assume you are talking about inside the parks?
There are lots of counter service places where you can eat but, they are mostly the fries/burgers/pizza/chicken strip type of place.
You do get nice sandwiches and salads at Columbia Harbour House at MK. Oh...there is also a noodle staion at MK
At AK, you can get counter service with the usual offerings or, there is Yak & Yeti who also do a counter service....and you can get a gorgeous shredded pork sandwich at the Flame Tree BBQ.
Epcot have quite a lot of counter service places with a difference in WS. Mexican, Chinese, Moroccan....and there's a Harry Ramsden's Fish and Chip Shop.
There are a few places outside the parks that can help you stretch your food budget too. :yes:
The boardwalk bakery does nice breakfast sandwiches, and sandwiches for lunch too. They have a good selection of pastries and drinks too.
At each DVC there will be a store that sells some food items. Bread and sandwich makings are pretty standard. Much of the items will be frozen and require a microwave though, so that may not work so well for you. Sandwiches are always easy, eh?
Beaches and Cream and Hurricane Hannah's at the BC are nice lower cost places to get some standard fare (burgers, salad, soup, chicken sandwiches, fries...).
The food courts at All Star and Pop Century will have a good variety (better at the All Stars in my opinion) of low cost options. All sorts of things there! Many of their entrees are large enough to share.
Which brings me to my last comment. :D Sharing is very common at WDW and not frowned upon at all (no sharing at buffets, of course or the high end Victoria and Alberts). You can quite often share an entree between two adults and be quite satisfied. Another thing you cad do (oops, I did say last didn't I? :sorry: ) is "order for the table." I've done this with great success. For example, at Chefs du France I like to order the salade nicoise, the charcuterie platter, the cheese platter and two small plates (along with a carafe of their house red, which is quite nice actually). We select bits from each of the dishes and have a lovely time of it!
Hope that helps a bit. :yes:

College Hockey:Wiebe Scores Twice, Findlay Beats Canisius
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Kris Wiebe scored his second goal of the game into an empty net with four seconds left, clinching Findlay's 3-1 victory over Canisius at the Buffalo State Sports Arena on Friday.
Findlay (1-0) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second period behind powerplay goals from Wiebe and Christian Olson.
Canisius' Todd Bowler scored on a 5-on-3 power play with 50 seconds left in the third period to cut the lead in half before Wiebe's empty-netter.
Bryan Worosz stopped eight shots for the Griffs (0-3) before leaving the game after being run over in his crease. Eric Kieffer filled in, making 11 saves in the last 34 minutes and taking the loss. Findlay's Jamie VandeSpyker made 25 saves for the victory.
The teams finish the series at 4 p.m. EDT Saturday.

Kim Kardashian showed off her tiny waist and seven-pound weight loss in a tight corset in an Aug. 21 Instagram photo, where she revealed she's doing "waist-training," which involves wearing a corset for extended periods of time to make it smaller.
Kardashian, who recently complained that she wanted to lose 15 to 20 pounds, said she has lost seven pounds on a low carb diet ketogenic-style Atkins diet.
Kardashian recently lamented on Twitter that her body had changed after childbirth and her hips and butt "are huge now." Kim vowed to begin a "no-carb" diet to slim down and regain her svelte pre-baby body. "Just need to get down to my weight a few years ago," she tweeted Aug. 5. "Not gonna complain anymore. Starting diet today! No carbs, crazy workouts."
Kardashian added that losing weight had gotten harder since she become a mom. Ironically, the 5-foot-3 Kim had boasted on a recent episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" that she weighed 125 pounds — five pounds less than her pre-pregnancy weight.
However, that episode was filmed several months ago, and Kim has apparently gained weight recently. Still, there's no denying she looks fantastic following her dramatic post-baby weight loss.
Kardashian lost 56 pounds just six months after giving birth (in June 2013) by following a low carb, high-fat ketogenic style Atkins diet that limited her daily carb intake to less than 60 grams. Focusing on healthy fats and limiting carbs promotes rapid weight loss by forcing the body to burn fat for fuel, said obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman, author of Keto Clarity.
Kim said she also worked out almost every day, combining strength-training, lots of squats and cardio exercise on the treadmill and elliptical trainer. Kim reportedly did waist training in the weeks leading up to her May 24 wedding to regain her signature hourglass figure.
While it may sound odd, "waist-training" or the "Corset Diet," is a weight loss trend some women use to winnow down their midsection. Proponents claim the "Corset Diet" can help women lost up to six inches from their waists, but health experts warn waist training can cause indigestion, constipation, rib pain and lung problems.

Did you know that June 12 is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day? According to the website Nationaldaycalendar.com Peanut butter cookies made their first appearance in the early 1900's.
Alabama's American agricultural extension educator, George Washington Carver, was the most well know promoter of the peanut. Carver compiled 105 peanut recipes from various cookbooks, agricultural bulletins and other different sources. In 1916, he put together a Research Bulletin called "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption". Included in this Research Bulletin were three recipes for peanut cookies calling for crushed or chopped peanuts as one of its ingredients.
This Triple Peanut Butter Cookie recipe is from Zulka Pure Cane Sugar, a minimally processed and environmentally friendly company. With peanut butter, chopped peanuts and peanut butter chips, this recipe is sure to three times as good!
Triple Peanut Butter Cookies
- 2 1/4 c all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 sticks butter, salted or unsalted
- 1 c organic creamy peanut butter (no added oil)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 c Zulka Brown sugar
- 2/3 c Zulka Morena sugar
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 cup salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 2 cups peanut butter chips
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter and heat in 15 second intervals until melted. Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, use and electric mixer to beat the eggs until pale and slightly thickened. Add the sugars and mix well. Pour the peanut butter mixture in and mix well, scraping down the sides when necessary. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add the one tablespoon of milk and mix again. Add the peanuts and peanut butter chips and stir by hand until combined. Chill the dough at least one hour, up to overnight before baking.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 3250 F. Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone bake mats. Scoop out rounded heaping tablespoon and a half sized dough balls and place on the cookie sheets about 2" apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. Do not over bake. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze up to 3 months.
- Notes: If using salted butter or salted peanut butter, omit the salt from the flour mixture.

What if my database is full and I don't have any spare hard disk or memory space. What should my strategy to free up the space?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 14 '10 at 13:17
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
"My database is full" can mean very different things in Oracle
1 Every byte of my hard drive is filled with "useful" data.
Compression / de-duplicating data / normalisation may help, but its cheaper to buy more disk.
2 I have space in the file for tablespace X but need it for tables in tablespace Y
If the space is at the end of the file, you can shrink the tablespace. If not best to move the tables from Y to X. Its pretty difficult to reclaim space from the middle of a tablespace file
3 I have deleted a lot of records from TABLE A but it hasn't reclaimed the space in the tablespace
ALTER TABLE ... MOVE; will tidy it up, but you'll need to rebuild indexes afterwards.
There are probably other scenarios, so I'll community wiki this answer/
Transaction logs will keep growing indefinitely until they consume all available space. It's likely this is one of the causes of you running out of space.
You can truncate the transaction logs to free up space, but be aware that this will remove your ability to restore-to-point-in-time or roll back changes to the DB.
To truncate the logs, run
then shrink the log file to free drive space. Note I've assumed MS SQL.
You will need an ongoing strategy to prevent this from happening again. Depending on your application and level of laissez-faire, you may want to:

Developing a safe and healthy workplace makes good business sense. Your employees will feel more valued and visitors will be protected from harm. It's likely to increase productivity and reduce the cost impact on your business of any downtime from employee injuries.
Effective health and safety management systems result from your leadership and commitment. Everyone has a duty to work safely and report hazards, but you still need to manage and coordinate the overall health and safety programme.
The ACC WorkSafe Cycle is a simple and effective method you can use to set up and operate your safety systems. Following the three steps in a continuous cycle enables you to keep on improving your health and safety systems.
Meet with your staff to identify all the hazards in your workplace. Since this is a continuous improvement cycle, you need to return regularly to the review step to monitor your planning and action steps, investigate any incidents that have occurred and review your injury management and emergency readiness. Any suggested improvements feed through to the planning step.
Decide how you will manage the hazards. Your priorities are:
Use the planning step to cover issues such as training and supervision, emergency readiness and injury management.
Adapt the sample Health and Safety Plan [XLS, 13kB] to map out your health and safety programme. Remember to assign responsibility for each required action, include a budget if necessary and set a timeframe for completion.
Two further key elements in the WorkSafe Cycle are commitment and communication. It's important to get your whole team involved in health and safety. Commitment starts with you. If you don't take health and safety seriously then why should others?
Open and honest communication throughout the cycle is vital to keep everyone involved and contributing to the health and safety improvement cycle.
