I'm connecting to a Citrix Access Gateway using Citrix Receiver. Can my company see local network traffic (pages I visit on my home computer, etc.)? I've checked the IP on my local connection and it is my ISP and not the same as my work IP.
I'm not even sure if this is possible with Citrix under any circumstances.

Rebecca's Doctor like any average doctor, male, has been Rebecca's doctor at her birth, always loved Rebecca's company, and enjoys giving her exams.
Rebecca was taken home from school early today from her mother because today was her physical exam. "Mommy? Why do I have to get a physical exam?" "Well sweetie, we have to make sure you are healthy and not sick in any kind of way." "What if I'm healthy already? Can I not go then?" "Haha no it doesn't work like that, we have to make sure you really are healthy, even if you feel healthy doesn't always mean you are healthy." Rebecca agreed finally and put her arm on the arm's rest and leaned on her arm.
Once they got there, Rebecca just wanted the exam to get over with and go back home so she could get back to what ever she likes doing. They waited in the waiting room after her mother signed her in and soon she was called in. Her doctor was a very kind man and always enjoyed her company, Rebecca always tells her random stories about fairytales and real life. Soon after a while of the exam, the doctor needed to check Her body and asked her mother to leave the room which she did. Rebecca took off all of her clothes except her underclothing and laid down the bed, the doctor looked at her body very closely at every part of her body and do far everything was fine, but then he came across her tummy and heard something very strange, almost like something like little sounds. The doctor put pressure in different places but nothing, then he deeply piled her bellybutton and rebecca gasped, the doctor also heard the sound come louder, he grabbed the the tiny flashlight and used it to look inside her navel, the doctor gasped to see what he was looking at. Rebecca's bellybutton was filled with scabs, powder, oil, and so much other junks. "... How did you get so many things into your bellybutton sweetie?" rebecca blushed and had a short flashback of what happened.
Yesterday evening, Eric come over to babysit her since her mother wasn't home. He knew he was home alone with Rebecca and could do anything that he wanted but he decided to wait a few minutes. After waiting he asked her if she wanted to know a secret, Rebecca of course wanted to know and Eric told her, "Did you know that your bellybutton has something special inside? I can help you find orbit it might be a bit painful" Rebecca's eyes lit up from excitement and agreed, she laid down and Eric lifted up her shirt slowly, feeling her tummy and squiring it a bit. Then he quickly grabbed a few tools from the side and told it would help with the process. Soon Eric was torturing her bellybutton so much that she was crying to stop, he didn't of course and continued, he also began to put some random stuff into her bellybutton and shoved it deep inside, then he tortured her navel even more till she fainted.
Rebecca came back to reality and noticed the doctor was still on her bellybutton trying to find out what happened, Rebecca told him that she did that to herself. The doctor was confused but agreed, he then gently cleaned it out. Soon her mother came back in but the doctor kept of what happened a secret with Rebecca.
Soon Rebecca and her mother left home, they noticed Eric had gotten home from school. Rebecca's mother had to go to work and asked Eric to babysit Rebecca and he agreed. Soon they both were alone in the house once more, Rebecca knew what was going to happen, then she ask Eric, "... So what was the secret inside of my bellybutton?" Eric gasped completely forgot to tell her, "Oh.. Umm... I-I can't remember, but I can look again to find out. Rebecca agreed and laid down as Eric lifted up her shirt and grabbed some more tools, right before he was going to insert the screwdriver, Rebecca disturbed by asking, "... Do you just want to play with my bellybutton?" Eric then blushed a bit and didn't replay back feeling scared that she found out, Rebecca then said, "You know I won't mind it, it actually was kinda fun." Eric was shocked to hear what she just said, he was so excited and replied back, "Y-you do??? Then yes!!! I just wanted to play with your bellybutton, it's so adorable, I love it!!" Rebecca giggled and allowed him to continue. After a while of soft torturing, Eric thought of an idea, he quickly left and came back with so etching in his hand, he then laid it out on her tummy and she gasped to find it was a big fat worm, she didn't like this idea but the worm had already squirmed into her bellybutton and became so deep, Rebecca giggled from so much ticklish but Eric held her arms down beside her head do she couldn't remove the worm.
Soon Rebecca fell asleep and Eric took out the worm and placed it back outside, he then picked her up and placed her on her bed. He put the blanket on her and placed his hand on her tummy and began patting it, then Eric felt the need of her bellybutton more, he removed the blanket to her waist and lifted up her shirt, then he began to finger her navel deeply. Soon Eric was interested into trying much more. He used a needle and poked her bellybutton slowly and pushed it in a bit but not too much, he then used a marble and pushed it deep into her navel but then took it back out, he found a power drill and put it at slow and gently began to spin it gently against her bellybutton. Rebecca gasped in pain as she woke up, she saw Eric messing with her bellybutton with a drill but allowed him to continue. Eric pushed it deeper slowly and gave much more pain but soon stopped, he then sat beside Rebecca and began rubbing her tummy till she fell asleep once more, then he continued run his finger in her navel slowly and softly, then soon he grew tired and fell asleep as well beside her.
An hour passed and Eric woke up from hearing a loud knock at the door, he slowly approached the front door and opened it, he found 2 men at the door asking if they would be able to stay at the house for a few days, Eric told him that it wasn't his house and he was babysitting. The 2 men then left and Eric locked the door and laid down on the couch fell asleep once more. Suddenly the 2 men sneaked through one of the windows and quickly went upstairs to one of the rooms to hide in. The first room they came to was Rebecca's, they noticed her tummy was exposed and she had an adorable bellybutton. The 2 men looked at her with curious minds and began to rub her tummy and rub her bellybutton. Soon Rebecca woke up and gasped to find 2 men on her, she was about to scream but one of the men covered her mouth and showed her a knife threatening her, she had no choice but to allow them to continue.
After about 20 mins Eric woke up and went upstairs to check on rebecca, he noticed she was still sleeping but had no conscious of the 2 men were inside the house. Eric picked up rebecca holder her against his chest and went downstairs and gently placed her on the sofa. He came to the kitchen and began to make something for her to eat, rebecca soon woke up then remembered the 2 men were still inside, she was just about to go tell Eric but one of the men grabbed her with a knife pointing right at her, she slowly backed away and say back on the sofa. The other man slowly approached Eric from behind, at first Eric thought it was rebecca but when he turned around, he gasped and the man tackled him to the floor and held him down, Eric tried to get up but the man held him down from his chest and threw an extremely heavy punch right into his gut, heroic still tried to escape, the man threw another one, Eric still was conscious, then the man threw a much stronger punish right on top of her navel and shoved his fast deeper into his gut and soon Eric fainted.
They took them into the basement of the house and chained them both on the wall with that made their arms above their head and chained on their angles against the wall. Rebecca was scared as she found Eric beside her, fainted, she soon then begs to cry and Eric heard her tears falling onto the ground and he gasped awake but noticed he was choice next to Rebecca. He calmed her down told her not to worry, and Rebecca relaxed herself and soon calmed down. Soon the men came down into the basement and had a tool box with them, one of them said to Eric and Rebecca, "I'm going to be staying here for a while, anyone who disrespects me or my orders will be punished, but let's not get too worried, I was to have fun with you kids." With saying that, both the men came to Eric and Rebecca, they cut off both their shirts so their tummies were exposed, then they used screwdrivers and shoved it into their bellybuttons extremely hard and twisted torturing them do much. Soon they both got a power drill and put it at low but placed it into their bellybuttons and pushed down slowly increasing the pressure going much deeper and almost penetrating through their skin. Then after they both put table in front of them each against them and put the 2 drills on the table, they positioned the table so the drill would go directly into their bellybutton. Then they put the drill at high, also taping the drill to the table do it wouldn't move, they pushed their tummy's back against the wall so they couldn't back up a bit, then they placed the drills into their bellybuttons and exited the basement.
After a few minutes, Rebecca's bellybutton began to blood from so much drilling deep, Eric's bellybutton was much red but not bleeding yet. Rebecca could feel her navel becoming deeper and more painful, but there was nothing they could do but hope for the drill to make a hole into their navels do they don't have to worry about the pain anymore. Soon rebecca fainted but Eric was still wide awake and still trying to escape some how, but eventually fainted as well.
Soon the men came downstairs and noticed both of them had lost conscious and do they turned off the drills, they noticed Rebecca's bellybutton was stretched a bit and much bloody, Eric's bellybutton was a bit deeper as well but not bloody at all, instead very red. They then allowed them to heal for a while and waited till one of them wakes up. Soon Eric wakes up first then the men told him that he was free to go, but he complained back that he will not leave without Rebecca, they then allowed him to stay physically, but not alive. The men the grabbed his knife and came close to Eric and pointed the knife at him.
Rebecca's mother came home with some groceries and was looking around for Rebecca or Eric. The man placed the knife right into his bellybutton, and slowly began pushing, slowly stretching his skin. The mon was scared now if they might of left as she continued to search upstairs. Soon the knife had barely penetrated his skin and Eric closed his eyes. The mother then looked downstairs everywhere and still no luck. Now the knife was. Slowly going deeper and Eric thought his time was up and would die in a few seconds, the knife was almost an inch deep. Suddenly rebecca's mother came into the basement to see rebecca and Eric tied and the one of the men stabbing Eric. Eric began to leak a bit of blood from his mouth as well from his bellybutton, but the mother kicked the man in a certain area knocking him out and tackles the other man and began pinching him on the ground. After victoriously beating up the men, the mother pressed her hand on Eric's tummy and pulled the knife out very slowly. Then she cut the chains off of both Eric and Rebecca and quickly took them to the hospital.
After some time, the doctor escorted Rebecca out on a wheel chair, her face was so pale and her eyes were full of fear and death, her mother was glad to see she was okay but knew the expression on her face. The doctor took the mother to the room to where Eric was in bed. Her mother's eyes drowned in tears as she had seen the boy who tried everything to save my daughter's life by risking his own. The doctor said, "we are doing out best, but it doesn't look too good, try to tell Rebecca about it since she deserves to know."
The mother came to Rebecca, "... Sweetie, I just talked to the doctor, they told me that you should know the truth... Eric might not be coming back..." Rebecca has absolutely no expression, as if she already knew about it. They both went home and tried to heal themselves do they can continue to move on.
3 months later, there was a knock at the door and Rebecca went to go answer it, it was some strange boy who reminded her of someone but didn't know who. "... Hey" "Uhh, hello, can I help you?" ".. Well actually yes, you can" the boy stood back a bit, "Do you know who I am?" Rebecca look at him from top to bottom for a few seconds then she gasped, realizing who it was. "... E--Eric??" the boy nodded with a bit of a smirk. Rebecca then quickly hugged him very tightly crying silently, Eric began rubbing her back and said to her lightly, "It's okay... I'm always here for you."

EUGENE, Ore. – Former Oregon Ducks pitcher and first-round draft pick Tyler Anderson has been named to the Colorado Rockies top 10 prospect list by Baseball America. The magazine lists Anderson as the Rockies' seventh-best prospect.
Anderson, the 20th overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, pitched last season for Ashville finishing with a 12-3 record with a 2.47 ERA, while striking out 81 batters in 120 innings pitched. He led the South Atlantic League in ERA, while finishing the season with a 1.06 WHIP.
Anderson became the highest Ducks' draft pick since 1980 after setting a school record with 285 strikeouts during his three-year career in Eugene. He ranks third all-time at Oregon with 17 wins and his 292.2 innings pitched is second all-time. Anderson finished his final year in a Ducks uniform with an 8-3 record and a 2.17 ERA, while striking out 114 batters in 107.2 innings pitched. Anderson also held opposing hitters to a .201 average in 2012.

Other than memory size limits of 4GB, what is the penalty for running 32 bit applications on an OS running in 64 bit? For example. does a 32 bit application require that it's address space be allocated within the first 4 GB or does the OS and processor abstract this away from the application?
There has been a lot of push for 64 bit applications in the software community where I don't always foresee the applications requiring such a large amount of memory (e.g, Firefox), so I'm just curious of the benefits and pitfalls of running 32 bit applications on a 64 bit platform.

Metamoris is an organization that is attempting to make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) a mainstream martial art. Their formula for doing this is pretty simple: match up the world's best competitors in 20-minute matches with submission being the only way to win. The first two version of the event was pretty successful, with some minor exceptions (Brendan Schaub, anyone?). The third version, held on March 29, proved to be the best version yet, thanks mostly to an incredible main event between grappling renegade Eddie Bravo against legendary Royler Gracie.
These two first paired off in Abu Dhabi in 2003. Gracie was a multiple-time world champion, while Bravo was an up-and-comer who had his own style. Gracie, with his more traditional and fundamentally-sound style, dominated the match almost the whole way. However, Bravo hung tough and managed to lock on his signature triangle choke and forced Gracie to tap out, which nobody, especially Gracie and Bravo, could believe.
That match has been talked about by many grappling fans ever since. A rematch was rumored at different times, but never could quite get worked out until Metamoris 3. What a match it was! Both competitors are older now (Gracie at 48 and Bravo at 43), and 20 minutes is a long time to grapple, but both men proved to be in great shape and ready to do battle.
The match started off as many would expect, with Bravo pulling half-guard and looking for his vaunted lockdown. Gracie was happy to be on top, where he looked to apply some serious pressure and work a simple but effective knee-cut guard pass. There were a few moments where it looked like Gracie would finish the pass but Bravo managed to recover each time. Eventually Bravo found his way into the lockdown position and worked his painful banana split submission, which forces his opponent into doing leg splits. Gracie accepted the pain and continued on, eventually escaping the position and coming back on top. This cycle repeated itself a few times with Gracie always managing to get back on top.
The competitors both showed a tremendous amount of heart and stamina as time wore down. Where most matches would slow down, these two only got more frantic, with both looking for the decisive finish. Bravo's unorthodox style showed its effectiveness by catching Gracie in a calf-slicer position, which was uncomfortable even to watch. Gracie waved at the crowd to say he was fine, but when Bravo adjusted Gracie quickly grabbed on and pulled the legs in an attempt to relieve the pressure.
The match ended with the competitors locked in this position, faces side by side. The two immediately got up, hugged and showed the respect each earned from the other. The crowd, which had been going crazy the whole time, roared their approval for both warriors.
It was an amazing performance by both men. The technique, stamina and most importantly, desire to win, both Gracie and Bravo demonstrated made for a fantastically entertaining match. The fact that both men are in their 40s only adds to the quality of the match. Neither man may be as explosive as they once were, but little else has changed. It was a match truly deserving of the term "main event."

Reviews for Peanut Butter Custard Blast
"I've adapted the pie a little and it's so delicious! In the original size I use 5c milk and 2c of peanut butter, instead of 6c and 1c respectively. It turns out really good, but still too soft for my taste. I just made another few tweaks to it yesterday - I halved everything (3c milk, 3 yolks, etc) but used only 1/2c sugar, a full 1/3c starch, and a full cup of peanut butter in order to make a 9" pie. I probably used about half of that batch to fill my pie crust, so I'll have to do some tweaking. I let the milk mix cook for a pretty long time before adding my eggs, so after it set I had a more solid custard layer. It was silky and smooth, and the sweetness was just right! Super easy recipe with room for some playing around with it. Wholly recommend it!"
"This is really good. You do have to make the custard from scratch, so be prepared to stand at the stove awhile. The only part we didn't like was the peanuts on top. They get soft. Maybe honey roasted would be better, or something that stays crunchy."
"This was excellent! For anyone who can't get the custard to thicken, just keep cooking and stirring, and stirring, and stirring. It will get thick."
"Yes step210 by all means, add 1tsp.of vanilla extract or even almond extract, and add a few Tbls of confectionery sugar, taste it before you beat it and adjust it to your liking. I hope this helps. :)"
"I will be trying this soon! I have a question before I make it tho...everytime I make homemade whip cream, it tends to be a bit bland. Do most people add a flavoring like vanilla?"

A Key Element To 2009
Just the other day, I read a report on the Twins website that Pat Neshek is currently having a bit of a setback in his rehabilitation of his elbow (ulnar collateral ligament damage) that he injured early in the 2008 season. Today, I heard that Neshek will fly back here to the Twin Cities (he has been rehabbing in Fort Myers, Florida) for an MRI to see where the soreness in his elbow lies.
Twins fans should be following this situation very closely, as it is likely THE most important component to the 2009 bullpen. Had the Twins had the services of Neshek all last year, there wouldn't have needed to be a one-game playoff with Chicago…we would have easily won the division outright. The return of a healthy Neshek would go very far in stabilizing the bullpen, while losing him again would throw the 'pen into disarray once more.

Middlebury stands in seventh place and has clinched a NESCAC playoff berth. The Panthers will hope to move up in the standings when they play at second-place Amherst on Friday and at sixth-place Hamilton on Saturday.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women's hockey team defeated NESCAC foe Williams twice this past weekend to clinch first place in the league, earn the top seed for the upcoming NESCAC tournament, and push its unbeaten streak to 15-0-3.
The 18-2-3 Panthers finished 13-1-2 in NESCAC play, are ranked No. 3 in NCAA Division III, and have one game left in their regular season — a visit from No. 2 Plattsburgh this Saturday at 3 p.m.
AMHERST, Mass. — The Middlebury College women's basketball team dropped a pair of road NESCAC games this past weekend to finish its regular season at 11-13, 3-7 in league play, but still earned a NESCAC playoff berth with a No. 7 seed.
The Panthers will visit No. 2 seed Bowdoin (21-3, 9-1 NESCAC) on Saturday for a quarterfinal matchup. The Polar Bears defeated the Panthers, 55-43, in Middlebury on Feb. 8.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's basketball team split a pair of home games this past weekend to finish with a 17-7 record overall, but the Panthers' 4-6 NESCAC mark left them short of qualifying for the league tournament, and their season came to a close.
On Sunday, the Panthers knocked off visiting Amherst, 82-69. Amherst finished its regular season at 18-6, 6-4 NESCAC, and will enter the league tournament as the No. 5 seed.

Number Theory (8-1 betting odds) won the Old Newton Cup at Haydock, earning his fourth win at the horse races. Number Theory took over Tepmokea two furlongs out. Quiz Mistress would finish second while Tepmokea ended third a length and a half away.
Number Theory edged out the win despite jockey Russ Kennemore coming in a pound overweight. "The race didn't really go to plan. There wasn't much pace, there was nothing to run at so I had to sit handy. Suddenly there was nothing in front of me. He likes to come through later in his races, but he's game and improving," said Kennemore.
The four-year-old Number Theory is trained by John Holt and owned by Sri-Lanka-born Mohan Fonseka. "We started coming here because the owner's family live round here and it's just snowballed from there," Leicestershire-based Holt told reporters afterwards. "We might have to think about the Ebor now. I think he'll stay the extra two furlongs."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - No. 4 Stanford got 15 kills from Brian Cook, but struggled in a 25-18, 25-19, 25-19 loss to No. 14 UC Santa Barbara in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation men's volleyball play on Friday.
Stanford (12-7 overall, 9-7 MPSF), playing without regular setter James Shaw, was limited to a .165 hitting percentage, its' second lowest of the season, and 35 kills. Cook and Steven Irvin (11 kills) combined for 26 of them.
Stanford led in each set, but never past 15 points as UCSB (8-12, 7-10) had the finishing skill to win each going away and end the Cardinal's three-match winning streak.
Stanford next plays UCLA on Sunday at noon in a match televised live on the Pac-12 Networks. It will mark Stanford's final contest before a 19-day break for dead week and finals.

Your defiance of looking at things from a neutral angle is more disturbing than frustrating. You cannot seem to accept that had there been no occupation, there would be no resistance.
You probably even think that the shooting of Mustafa Tamimi, a Palestinian protester, in the head was right because he was Palestinians, living on Palestinian soil and speaking against the illegal occupation of Palestine.
They who shot him came to him on his land. He didn't come to them.
That one example is epitome to the whole conflict that is going on.
The Powerful vs. Powerless
I suppose it is fun to defend the Powerful since they are, as you said, "winning" which you have yet to tell me what you mean by that. If their purpose was to find peace then they're not getting it and they are certainly not pursuing it. So what is the purpose of Israel's actions?

Farmed out: Animals become part of businesses' 'green' plans
By Tara Ramsey Sometimes it takes a goat to do a man's job. At least that's what agricultural entrepreneur Ron Searcy is hoping. Searcy and his wife, Cheryl, care for 300 goats at Wells Farms in Horse Shoe, N.C., about 15 miles from Asheville. After clearing out overgrowth and brush on 25 acres of his property, as well as land for two friends, Searcy realized there was an untapped business opportunity by harnessing the goats' appetite for brush. He began his weed-abatement venture in August 2007. Now his goats are featured in YouTube videos and he is scheduling jobs into 2011. Searcy's goats have also been put to work in the Charlotte area.

On-board power in public works fleets is increasing due to the need for lighting and computerized equipment. Electrical power is a handy asset for work trucks and construction equipment, enabling your crew to run lights, welders, drills, grinders, hammers, and pumps.
There are four ways to get vehicle-mounted electrical power:
On a traditional generator set, the engine has a separate fuel supply and maintenance requirements, such as oil changes. Large industrial units with self starters cost up to $5000. If they're vehicle-mounted, they may require a separate accessible compartment.

Duncan Wood, Raven Technology's chief engineer, inspects one of the company's under-hood generators.
Inverters reconstruct DC (direct current) power into 60-hertz AC (alternating current) power by rapid switching using power electronics. Inverter systems work reasonably well for modest 1-to-2-kW requirements and are in broad use. For power outputs above about 2 kW, though, inverter systems may require extra battery and alternator capacity, says David Murray, director of business development for Raven Technology LLC, Brunswick, Maine.
Belt-driven generators under the hood are good for up to 5 kW. "It's not practical to mount (a generator) under the hood that's bigger than 5 kW," says Bob Fury, president of Fabco Power, Chester, N.Y. "Anything above 5 kW is too much power for the belt."
For power outputs ranging from 3 to 15 kW, you can specify a hydraulically powered generator that runs a hydraulic pump from your engine PTO. The pump in turn sends fluid to a hydraulic motor that powers the generator.
As for engine power and speed, utility trucks commonly have programmable logic control (PLC) modules that automatically set the proper engine speed when the generator is turned on. "The utility body builder or the truck dealer would program the PLC unit to control the engine speed when the generator comes on," says Leon Lease, president of Tendaire Industries Inc., Beresford, S.D.
Tendaire offers hydraulically driven generators of 2 to 15 kW in size, and belt-driven units in 11/2, 3, and 4 kW models. Mobile generator sets with dedicated engines can range up to sizes larger than 15 kW, but Lease says there's limited demand for them.
Raven's Murray recommends selecting a generator that produces frequency and voltage-stable output with pure sine-wave AC power. By contrast, some systems may allow frequency or voltage, or both, to vary as load or engine speed changes. Such variations are hard on motors and even harder on sensitive electronics, causing lights to dim and brighten.

How to Edit or Proofread an Essay or Paper
One Methods:Editing and Proofreading HelpCommunity Q&A
Editing and proofreading papers and essays may seem like a daunting task. Read on for information and tips on perfecting your paper.
1Review your writing from the past to identify frequent error types; note these common mistake areas.
2Visit the Chicago Manual of Style (site may require free registration) and Strunk and White's Elements of Style. Both websites include a search feature, allowing you to search for and view results of your common error types.
3Start composing your essay and paper, applying the tips and ideas gleaned from the style guides.
4Distance yourself from your work before beginning the revision process by taking a break, whether it is just for a few minutes or even several weeks.
5Edit your paper, rereading to ensure your paper is well organized with smooth paragraph transitions and that your thesis is backed by solid evidence. Take your time during this process to ensure that you are as thorough as possible. The editing process includes reviewing several different areas:
- Content: review your essay for content completeness, making sure that you have fulfilled the assignment and that all of the information provided is accurate. Identify any areas that could benefit from additional details or examples. Try letting someone read the paper, focusing on any areas that are unclear or require more explanation or support.
- Structure:
- Try creating a brief outline of your paper to ensure the organization is logical.
- Review your writing to ensure that your introduction contains a clear thesis that makes clear your purpose for writing. Try asking someone to read the first paragraph or two and tell you what he or she thinks the paper will discuss. Make sure that subsequent paragraphs relate to your thesis and are presented in a logical order.
- Make sure each individual paragraph contains a topic sentence, and that each subsequent sentence in the paragraph relates to that topic.
- Style: review your paper to ensure that your tone is appropriate for your audience and consistent throughout your paper. Edit any awkward or wordy sentences to maximize the clarity and effectiveness of your writing and to ensure that your language is clear and smooth. Try reading the paper aloud, listening for anything that sounds incorrect, unclear or awkward. You can also use text-to-speech software for this purpose.
- Citations: make sure to appropriately cite any quotes or ideas obtained from external sources. Visit the Chicago Manual of Style (site may require free registration) and Strunk and White's Elements of Style for complete information on correctly citing your sources.
6Proofread your paper. Like editing, it is important to take your time during the proofreading process. Watch for misspellings, grammatical errors and typos. In proofreading, also pay close attention to sentence structure, punctuation and word choice. Check for each error type one by one to catch more errors. Read on for additional details regarding proofreading.
- Spelling: don't rely on your word processor's spell check feature, as it will miss any misspellings that form another word. If you typed to instead of two, for example, spell check will not catch the error.
- Grammar: don't rely too heavily on your word processor's grammar checker. This feature is most useful for identifying run-on sentences and use of the passive voice.
- Punctuation: Know why punctuation marks were placed in certain places. Check any punctuation rules you are unsure of.
7If you are reviewing a hard copy of your paper, try sliding a ruler or blank piece of paper down the page as you read, enabling a thorough, line-by-line analysis. If you are proofreading directly in your word processing program, analyze each sentence separately. Simply pressing return after each sentence will allow you to review every sentence carefully.
8Allow someone else to edit and proofread your paper. Another pair of eyes is bound to catch any errors that you may have overlooked. Also try reading your paper backwards, word by word. This forces your brain to comprehend each individual word, allowing you to catch more typos and grammatical errors.

Cute As A Bug First Birthday (34 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
THEME: My husband and I decided pretty early on that we wanted to have a "Bug" themed party for our daughter Madeline's first birthday. Not only was that the affectionate nickname we had used from when she was a newborn, but she is also very drawn to books and toys with bug details, so we knew it must be fate! She is definitely a girly girl as well, so I picked a trio of soft pink, bright pink, and green as our color palette. I designed three different bugs especially for her invitation: a ladybug, butterfly and caterpillar, and added hand-made pennant banners to the cards for a little something special. I was over the moon to have Rachel from *golden* make a personalized t-shirt for Madeline to wear on her big day! Rachel made the precious bug on the shirt to look exactly like the ladybug I had created for the party.
DECORATION: This is the first time that I have styled a party, and I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to try! It's important as a SAHM mom that I really watch my budget though, so I started looking around for party decor pretty far in advance to find some great deals. For the backdrop behind the main table, I found bright plaid wrapping paper in our exact party colors for a steal at our local TJMaxx. I was even more excited to find the bright green netting, seen in the backdrop and over the white tablecloth, on sale as a (very) early Christmas item at Hobby Lobby. The netting also worked perfectly as covers on the children's tables! Instead of buying expensive flowers or centerpieces, I decorated the main table with two DIY ribbon topiaries that turned out even more beautiful than I imagined.
FOOD/DRINKS: We had quite a few little ones at our party, so "Baby Bug Bites" (strawberry puffs) were provided, as well "Pbee&J" sandwiches cut out like butterflies and "Caterpillar Kebobs" (fruit skewers) for the older kids. Specially made caterpillar and butterfly sippy cups were also on hand for the kids to drink their "Bug Juice", and take home as part of their party favor. The cupcakes were the biggest hit though! They stood on a fun cake stand with a flower vase that was very quick and easy to create. I found the complimenting Wilton flower petal cupcake liners at Michael's. The cupcakes were topped with adorable fondant bugs also made to look like the caterpillar and ladybug on Madeline's invitation. They were perfect! The kids couldn't wait to get their hands on those sweet bugs.
ACTIVITIES: My daughter and her friends had a blast in the bouncy house outside, crawled through our "caterpillar" tunnel , and played with creepy crawly bugs and nets that I found together for a very reasonable price on Amazon. I think the adults enjoyed watching Madeline plunge into her special bug smash cake the most-- she could have sat and enjoyed that cake for hours!
Before they left, guests were asked to write a little note or wish to include inside Madeline's sparkly green time capsule box, to be opened on her 18th birthday! I found adorable little pink and green favor boxes on Etsy and added a gooey, light-up caterpillar that had "bitten" his way out, courtesy of my round, scalloped punch. The girls also took home pretty little bug hair clips in their favor boxes, while the boys' got their own bug and net sets.
Madeline had a fabulous time at her party, as did her guests! Every detail and DIY project was totally worth seeing that constant smile on the birthday girl's face.

let $G$ be a group. and $A$, $B$ be two subgroups of $G$. suppose we have an action of $B$ on $A$ : $\phi:B\rightarrow Aut(A)$ then we can turn the set $AB$ into a group by defining the multiplication law: $(a_1b_1)(a_2b_2)=a_1\phi_{b_1}(a_2)b_1b_2$. the group we get we call the semidirect product of $A$ by $B$ corresponding to $\phi$.
This does not require $A$ to be normal in $G$ unless we choose $\phi $ to be conjugation and i don't understand the need for the conditions $G=AB$ and $A\cap B=\{1\}$?

Q&A with Chetan Dube of IPsoft
VSM: Can you explain what IPSoft does?
CD: IPsoft uses expert systems to optimise IT management by replacing much of the routine support activity in a typical management environment with advanced automation. Our systems are designed to replicate IT engineer activities in incident, change and problem management at both the task and decision-making levels, and to continually learn from the environments they manage. We use these systems to deliver remote infrastructure management services across the technology and application stack, or offer them to clients as a managed platform for their own use. We share the learning from the environments we manage across all of our clients to ensure continuous and sustained improvement.
VSM: Your technologies reference autonomics a lot. Can you describe what that is a little bit more?
CD: Autonomics refers to the self-governing, self -healing nature of our expert systems. They have the ability to detect, diagnose, remediate and escalate events and incidents, to learn from what they experience, and to assimilate that learning into a shared knowledge library.
Autonomics has the ability to handle the following operations:
- Replicate the task execution of IT staff (e.g., what they actually do, what commands they type, etc.)
- Examine and replicate the decision-making processes (e.g., what processes should I follow, what should I do when, what am I authorized to do, when should I do it?)
- Escalation and interaction (e.g., who should I ask for approval and how should I proceed based on that approval?)
All of these actions are done following specific rules for the technology involved, the customer support processes and the context (e.g., time of day, day of week, other things that might be happening that might affect the decision).
VSM: What's the difference between autonomic and automatic solutions.
CD: Automation is a very small part of an autonomic solution – effectively the task execution piece. What sets autonomics apart is the automation of decision-making.
VSM: What is the next big step for autonomic technologies?
CD: Autonomic technologies have the ability to absolve mankind of mundane chores. This is true not only in IT support, but in any systematic business process. Our vision is that intelligent, well-trained and expensive human resource should focus on innovation and improvement, and that wherever possible, autonomic systems will manage low-level activity. Autonomics are making the offshoring of tasks – so often considered the solution to optimise ITO and BPO tasks - irrelevant.
VSM: Where do you see IPSoft heading in 2012?
CD: IPsoft is expanding rapidly. We will have operations in 9 countries by the end of 2011, and in 12 countries by the end of 2012. We will accelerate the adoption of autonomic technologies through both direct customer relationships, and indirectly through powering service providers and vendors.

The Suns would have blown out the Lakers if Kobe Bryant didn't put the Lakers on his back and carry them from the second quarter to the end, finishing with 38 points, 6-9 on threes. The strength of the Suns (bench) outplayed the Lakers strength, front line size. The Suns second unit played high energy basketball, got stops with zone defense, and made every Lakers player outside of Kobe look exasperated. Suns coach Alvin Gentry liked the production of his second unit so much, he allowed them to play until about three minutes left in the game. At that point, the veteran starters on the Suns finished the Lakers by taking care of the ball and hitting free throws down the stretch.
I don't see the Lakers losing three in a row. Bench players play better at home, no matter the team, as the home crowd energizes subs. The Lakers rotation is not very deep, so they cannot afford an off night from Lamar Odom, and desperately need Shannon Brown to match the energy of the Suns bench. The Suns have confidence and momentum on their side going to LA. Look for Kobe to play more point guard to penetrate the Suns zone defense, and score early to diminish the Suns morale. If the Suns win game 5 in LA, Kobe will punch a few team mates in the locker room after the game.
The Eastern conference finals are still heavily tipped in Boston's favor. Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson carried the Magic past the Celts, partly thanks to an off night from Rajon Rondo, 9 points, 8 assists. It took an overtime period for the Magic to finish the die hard Celts.
The biggest dilemma for the Magic is Vince Carter, who has been very disappointing in this series. Carter went 1-9 with three points in game 4 and his confidence is obviously rattled. The Magic are almost too deep, a nice problem to have, but it leaves Stan Van Gundy with difficult choices for game 5. Does he stick with his proven veteran in Carter or does he go with Matt Barnes for competitive energy and physical toughness? JJ Reddick looked sharp beyond the arc and carried the team on a few possessions. Don't forget Mikael Pietrus, who can hit do damage with that little corner three ball. the Magic stay with Carter, as often it takes a horrific performance to motivate a player.
The key for the Magic to win: stop Rondo, stop the Celtics. Put the best defender on him and live with Pierce going off.

I Finally Found Something That Works
Sunday, March 03, 2013
I've been dieting for what seems like my whole life.
After I turned 35 it seemed like nothing I tried in the past was working.
In 2011, just months before my wedding day, I came across Sparkpeople and decided to give it a try. Did I try? Not really, not as much as I know I could have. I needed to lose a lot of weight to be the bride that I had in my head - but I didn't give it a 100% and only lost 4 pounds in a couple months.
Fast forward to spring 2012 when I was playing with my son outside and had my "AHA" moment. My son wanted me to play swords with him and I needed to sit down to play.
What was I doing? How was I benefiting myself or my family by carrying all the weight that had haunted me for years.
On May 28th, 2012 I went back to Sparkpeople with the determination of finally doing something for myself (and my family).
Weighing in at 220 pounds, I jumped in with both feet and took Sparkpeople to heart.
Today is March 3, 2013 and I have officially lost the weight to get to my original goal - I have lost 50 pounds!!
I say original goal, because I now see, that with the help of Sparkpeople, I can do more and I will try to lose enough weight to get me where I feel I really need to stop.
I think that without Sparkpeople I never would have been able to do what I've done.
I'm sure we've all made the same dieting mistakes in the past... skipping meals, eating non-nutrious meals, just to avoid the calories and try to get the weight off.
Sparkpeople is not a "diet" in my mind, it's a way of life. It has taught me so much on my journey, something that I will always carry with me going forward.
That's not to say I won't have those moments when I slip a little and "cheat", but I now know what it takes to stay healthy and put the right things into my body.
What are the things I love the most about Sparkpeople? There are so many things; the support from my Community and Sparkpeople friends, the tracking, as I'm a visual person and I think this tool was the most important one for me, and the fact that I didn't have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to join a club that required me to purchase their food and take their supplements. All I have to do is make smart choices and still be able to have the odd indulgence when I want to.
Now 8 months may seem like a long time to lose 50 pounds, but the most important thing to me is that I didn't give up and the result came eventually.
I will spread the spark to whomever will listen, as I am a true believer and forever grateful.

I'm not sure why 8 months might seem like a long time to lose 50 pounds? Maybe all the overhyped "lose weight fast" solutions try to convince us it should happen much faster, but a slower rate allows the body to adjust better, don't you think? I love your statement about SparkPeople being a way of life. It really is!

G4S and ISS: A Step Too Far?
G4S, the U.K.-based security giant, said it has agreed to acquire Danish rival ISS, which also specializes in cleaning and catering outsourcing services, for £5.2 billion ($8.2 billion) in equity and debt, creating the world's largest security and facilities services provider.
The numbers are eye-watering: combined sales of £16 billion, 1.17 million employees in over 100 countries. In combination, G4S and ISS, controlled by private equity groups EQT and GS Capital Partners, will become the second-largest non-governmental employer in the world, behind only U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart.
G4S, which offers event security, secure transport services, security systems and services to governments and other customers, hopes this kind of scale and bulk means it can plunder a global facilities services market with a value estimated at £500 billion.
So much for the headline statistics, but what do investors think? The answer is the market was starkly negative. In mid-morning trading, G4S sank on the benchmark FTSE 100 Index by over 17%.
On the one hand, it has been lauded as a bold and audacious transformational move, synchronizing the two giants' operations in existing geographies and driving new growth in emerging markets. The combination will allow G4S to ramp up its operations in southern European countries like Spain, Italy and Switzerland, where ISS has a strong footprint.
It will also mean G4S can drive further business in the booming economies of growth markets like the Middle East and Africa, where it already has a considerable presence.
However, analysts say the deal,, a multiple of 8.5 times ISS' earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization, is far from cheap. Traders have also said that the size of the transaction and the £2 billion rights issue to fund it, are "scaring people".
Even aside from the capital raising, G4S is taking on billions of extra debt.
Analysts also note that the deal, whilst transformational in scope, increases the group's risk profile.
The acquisition brings exposure to more challenged parts of continental Europe, which G4S had previously avoided. "This is a bold bet from G4S outside security into an adjacent market on reasonable terms, but which inevitably raises the risk profile of the business," Espirito Santo Investment Bank said.
Seymour Pierce added the merger comes with short-term "transactional risks".
G4S has previous form in successfully integrating large businesses, including GSL, Securicor and Group 4 Falck.
Still, this is on another level altogether.

Nice to be back on the air after a successful fundraiser for the station, though somewhat disappointing one for us. The only nice thing (and I mean the ONLY) about coming back after a hiatus is that there is often a lot of new music to bring to you. This week is no exception, with new releases from the Pastels, Omar, The Summer Twins, Boogaloo Assassins, Camera Obscura, Shannon & the Clams and more. The show begins with a protest song out of Turkey. For the better part of a week, many people in Turkey have been protesting what they view as an authoritarian "democractic" government. Increasingly the movement has incorporated some interesting cultural elements and more than a few protest songs have started to make their way onto the internet. The most intriguing one comes from Kardeş Türküler who take a dismissive comment from the PM in Turkey into a truly exceptional work of art. I rarely post additional materials on these breakdown posts, but here it seems important to have the video, especially since it has the translation of the lyrics and footage of the ongoing protests.
In our second hour we broadcast an interview and performance with Dom La Nena, recorded while she was in town to play at Make Music Pasadena and the Hotel Cafe. Dom's debut album, Ela, might have slipped under the radar of some since it was released at the very start of the year, but we certainly heard it and it's still one of my favorite records of the year. Got a lot of response from this one, it's definitely a keeper.

Check how residents of a postcode have been profiled, and what their behaviours might be like
LS14 6UT – information about the LS14 6UT postcode is completely free. No records are left of your search, so you can research the LS14 6UT postcode entirely confidentially.

The number of directors is 17% of the national average. As defined by the Census, the ethnic break-down of this postcode is typically white.
|Social Classification
We are all described as being within a "social class" or " socio-economic grouping". These tend to rely on the occupation of the main earner within a household and are no more than rough groupings, used principally by advertisers to segregate their target audience. There is no reliable single definition of the groups, nor of what is included in them, so please treat this with a pinch of salt.
The social classification of the residents of LS14 6UT is C2DE and is shaded blue below. Please note that if your area contains more than one group, the shading can cover several classifications:
|The level of investors in this area is 33% of the national average and the financial risk associated with this postcode is classified as being roughly 50% higher than the national average.

Credit scoring measures the probability of a person being able to keep payments up to date on a credit facility. In contrast, the Affluence Rating is a measure of how much money someone has, which is an entirely different thing. It is possible to have a great credit score but a poor Affluence Rating, and vice versa, although the two are far more likely to run hand in hand with each other.
|Residents in LS14 6UT have a low affluence rating. This may relate to age, as wealth tends to be built up over time.
Newspaper Readership
|Newspaper readership is linked with overall income and wealth. This is controversial because newspapers are not the only source of news and some papers attract a wide range of readers, but the correlation is nevertheless a strong one.
Number of Investors
|The term 'investors' in this category relates to ownership of stock exchange quoted shares. The number of investors in an area reflects a higher than average level of disposable income and a better than average ability to save money.
Financial Risk
|'Financial risk' is taken principally from the number of court judgments or decrees in any postcode. This is used as a negative measure of affluence as not all assets may be available to the apparent owner.
Car Ownership
|One of the least reliable indicators of affluence, because cars may be leased rather than owned. If leased - for example a 'company car', car ownership can still give a measure of underlying income.
Property Ownership
|Property ownership is one of the most popular ways of storing wealth and is usually the largest asset available to any individual. This measure is a strong indicator of affluence.

I previously expressed my annoyance here and here (starting at 01:02:06) about the lack of the Create Unit Tests feature in Visual Studio 2012, similar to the one in Visual Studio 2010. It is interesting that none of the Microsoft people I've spoken to on the issue were able to provide me with a reasonable work-around, but apparently, intrueder, a commenter at Stack Overflow, has. It turns out that the functionality was not removed from the Visual Studio product, just from the context menu. Therefore, we can give ourselves access to the command again by assigning a keyboard shortcut to it. The steps to do so are as follows:
Now that a shortcut is setup, all you have to do is place the cursor within the scope that you want to create unit tests for (a namespace, class or method) and invoke the key sequence. The command should be activated as it was in Visual Studio 2010. I have been using this for a little while and it is working quite well for me, but I don't make use of nearly all of the features of this command. I'll be interested to hear if you have any troubles using this tool in this way. You can contact me on twitter at @bsstahl if you have any comments.

People who buy storage lockers are looking for hidden treasure, but sometimes the contents leave you wondering about their motives. Such was the case of a former "Storage Wars" star, Steve Monetti.
According to the New York Post, Steve paid $550 for the contents in a storage locker at the Harlem Self-Storage. As he started looking through the contents, he found something that had him calling the police. Inside the unit, packed inside cabinets or cardboard boxes, he discovered 31 containers with cremated human remains. Some of the ashes were inside urns made of thick stone, polished brass or common metal boxes. Each one was labeled with the name of the deceased, along with the cremation date on the outside.
Steve admits to finding one or two urns inside a storage locker before, but nothing like he found at the Harlem unit. He said, "It was very eerie. My body shook and I said, 'This can't be!' When I saw the paperwork, I was stunned and couldn't eat."
The storage locker belonged to a former NYPD detective, Warren M. Blake. Warren and his wife Marguerite owned the M. Marshall Blake Funeral Parlor in Hamilton Heights. The funeral parlor has a history. It was once owned by Anthony Bailey from the P.T. Barnum and Bailey circus.
When Warren passed away in 2007 at the age of 83, his niece, Eudora Street, paid the storage locker fees. The locker came up for sale, when she fell behind on her payments.
Around six police personal searched the locker for foul play, and they consulted with the Medical Examiner. They determined that no crime was committed so the contents was left with Steven.
Steve said, "I was hopeful that these remains might find a home with loving relatives. However, right now, everything remains up in the air and I'm not sure what my next step is."

Today's Torah Commentary from Exodus 18:13 - 23
The Second Book of the Torah, "Shemot," "Names."
This weeks reading is "Yitro," "Jethro."
We begin our reading today with Jethro, Moshe's Father in Law, surveying what a typical day is like in the life of Moshe.
Jethro is not happy with the way Moshe makes himself continually available to the people.
He believes Moshe will "burn himself out" attempting to be all things to all people.
Jethro recommends Moshe appoint good, GOD fearing men who hate injustice, to be appointed to smaller groups of the people, handling the more minor judgements, bringing the more serious or bigger issues to Moshe.
Jethro suggest this out of hie love for Moshe and the wisdom that comes with age. He see's that Moshe cannot physically continue to be all things to all the people.
Moshe listens to Jethro's advice. Jethro has made a great a valid observation on Moshe's behalf, qualifying that with GOD's approval.
It's interesting how Jethro can see the potential for Moshe's exhaustion, however, it seems' Jethro can also see the potential for Moshe to become bigger than he needs to be seen in the eyes of the people.
Moshe is "The Prophet" of GOD, speaking on GOD's behalf to the people at their request, yet is it fair to ask one man to take on such a responsibility?
Can we not, as a body of believers, follow in the ways of GOD's Word, HIS teaching, law, instructions, or do we, like the People have no desire to think, learn act for ourselves in the sight of GOD?
Have we, like the people of Israel, become so needy, lazy and spoiled, that we have to constantly be "hand fed" like fledglings?
Are our spiritual leaders being worn out by our constant "neediness?"
Are we relying on someone else to tell us what's right and wrong, or are we learning that for ourselves from the Torah?!
Do we continue to look to "the prophet" our "Moshe" to always answer our questions, rule over and make our judgements, never making ourselves accountable?
Can we walk in righteousness, or do we even understand what that means without someone telling us?
Who have we become, truly? Are we the People of GOD with all that HE has made available to us in truth, or are we still the "Sheeple," following after whomever tells us what we want to hear?
