Open Printing US/Europe (Glen Petrie, Epson)
- Introduction and Background on OPWG
- OPWG has identified four principal Printing Environments:
- Production Printing - Office Printing - Home Printing - Embedded/Handheld/Mobile/STB Printing
- What factors distinguish Printing Environments?
- Print Volume (number of sheets) - Print Job Type - Simple - Complex but Static - Variable Data - Incorporate Finishing - Print Location - Attached/Local Printer - Network Printer - Print Department - Print Shop - Computing System Resources - Run-Time Memory - Processor Speed
- Means the Users in all environments can (/will/shall/should??) have the same experience - Differences are mostly artificial - Production can request the printing of a single sheet - Print a missing or damaged sheet - Handheld can request the printing of a 100 copies - Kinko's prints 100 sets of presentation downloaded from customer PDA - Who generated the production job-ticket !!! - Could (should?) the PDA do that? - Interesting - Use a Scaleable Approach
- User Level - Print Dialog - Common - Print Attributes - Common representation and terminology - Developer Level - Print Attributes - Common representation and terminology - Application Programming Interface (API) - Design, Format, Calls, Error, etc. - Code Module - Coding Style, Coding Structure, Variable Typing, etc. - Extension: Planning for Change - Vendor, Code, Attributes, Modules
- Independent of - Environment, Print Vendor, Solution Vendor, Operating System & Application. - Defining - Terminology, Acronyms, Abbreviations Representation, Relationships, Dependencies &, Mathematics (where applicable) - Defining - Code Level Variable, Object(Struct) Members, Range & Scope
- Being worked on ... (Open Usability) - Request 1: Provides for both GUI and GUI-less API's - Request 2: Scaleable down to Resource Limited Embedded/Handheld Solutions
- Types: Static Link Library, Dynamic Link Library, Remote Processor Call, Other ?? - Base Library API's: opInitLib_foo, opSuspendLib_foo, opReleaseLib_foo - Base Procedure API's: opInit_foo, opProc_foo, opRelease_foo
- Basic Types (OP_INT8, OP_INT32, OP_CHAR, etc) - Basic Objects (structs) (OP_RECT, OP_POINT, etc) - Basic Errors (OP_ERROR_NONE, OP_ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION, OP_ERROR_INVALID_ARG, etc)
- Coding Style - Pick one and stay with it! - Coding Structure - Pick one and stay with it!
- Vendor, Code, Attributes, Modules
- Users in all environments can (/will/shall/should??) have the same experience - Limitation defined by Available Printer, System and/or Intended Features and Capabilities
- Print Dialog - Common feature and capability parametrics
- Coding - API's ... or - Printer/Printing capabilities ... or - Attribute properties ... - as strings-constants for XML based or resource rich environments - as integter-constants for resource limited environments - Features and Capabilities - The scope, the fidelity and the inclusion based on resources and not necessarily environment ! - Extension: Planning for Change - The scope, the fidelity and the inclusion based on resources and not necessarily environment !
- See slides
- What is it? - Is it a Prototype? Less than but close - Is it a Solution? No, not complete. - Goal is flush out the architecture, interface and internals - We will define it as end-to-end executable that ... - follows a single, usually the typically, path through the architecture/design - provides only limited error checking (memory allocate but not parameters) - assume resources are limited by the software architecture/design not by actual system - some functions/processes/procedures provide a single option - Start with the ... - simplest (feature/capability wise) Environment == Embedded/Handheld - API defining features / capabilities == Job Ticketing - API managing print == Print Manager - API controlling the printer == Printer Driver - API supporting printer == Print Channel Manager - everything else...
- Refining the OpenPrinting Reference Model - Refining the OpenPrinting Detailed Architecture - Creating an OpenPrinting Dictionary - Creating the OpenPrinting Basic Software Header and Source Modules - Migrating existing work products to provide coherent, consistent, common - Software Elements - API - Solutions
Printing API (PAPI) (Norm Jacobs, Sun)

- Foomatic 4.0 Ideas
- DTD/XSD for the XML database, can change database format - Auto-generate printer XML entries from PPD files - Easy way to turn user-contributed printer entries into official Foomatic entries
OPS Summary - TUESDAY - 25 September 2007
Part II: Printing on the Desktop: GUI and Applications
KDE Printing (Cristian Tibirna, Maintainer KDE Print)
- Status quo
- Not much changed on the KDE printing front since Atlanta Summit
- Last 17 months (since Atlanta Summit)
Google Summer of Code: - 1st topic: openprinting.org on-line driver support - succeeded - 2nd topic: KDE GUI renovation - not successful Work on KDE4 started: - Printing for KDE4 severely lagging New interest from KDE developers community - in last 3 weeks
- CUPS/1.1 and IPP - Other protocols very probably will be dropped - CUPS > 1.1 support still not implemented - Renovation of CUPS backend required - major rewrite - PDF printing flux not supported fully
Minimize centralized/shared library Move tools to optional workspace package Essential applications: - kprinter - ESSENTIAL: "lpr with a GUI" - Printer installation wizard - Job Viewer (actually very nice job manager - Kurt showed to Ira) - Dearly needed: better previewer - Dearly needed: PDF editor
KDE4 4.0: - KDE3 code porting partially failed { lack of manpower - Use Qt infrastructure directly - Regressions and limitations over KDE3 - Very short time for implementation KDE4 4.1: - Back to full KDE platform: - pre-filter, customizable dialog, printer wizard, etc. - Using PDF as job format - New GUI (usability driven) - Look up wishes (and bugs)
- GUI redesign - wait for consensus? - KDE3 GUI was serving well ("it ain't broken...") - Pass as much of the job as possible to Qt (natural) - CUPS 1.3 - Use greedily (PPD parsing?) - CUPS 1.4 - PDF printing already required by developers - Take a look at PAPI -> back to supporting many printing backends
KDE Printing is no more in acceptable shape High steam work in progress for KDE4: - KDE 4.0 -> placeholder - KDE 4.1 -> full (best) solution (again) Acute lack of manpower!
GNOME Printing: Behdad Esfahbod (Cairo/Pango)
- See slides (very large file) for most details
- Migration to native OS print dialogs
- No GNOME print team
Common Printing Dialog (Peter Sikking, Open Usability)
- See slides (very large file) for most details
- "One size does not fit all"
- Clusters
general inkjet, photo, personal laser workgroup laser, high volume wide format, impact printers
- Siena Workshop (Open Usability sponsored)
3 levels of Printing: - Level 1 - "printing does not exist" 80% or 90% - "will be OK" "just print" - an optional bypass of the dialog Print - just print - Level 2 - quick presets - level 3 - tweak printing parameters
- Screen shots of version 0.3 common printing dialog
- Gnome + GTK - KDE + Trolltech
LSB 3.2 and 4.0: Printing Infrastructure (Jeff Licquia, LF)
- Background on LSB goals and methodologies - see slides
- Printing in LSB 3.1
System V and BSD command-line tools - Two tools: lp and lpr - Can print to the default printer or a named printer - All other details (spooler tech, network support, etc.) are implementation-dependent Generic System V/BSD interfaces are not sufficient - No way to discover what printers are available - No standards for discovering or supporting advanced printer capabilities - User interface is necessarily limited - Lack of backend standardization makes delivering a single driver framework nearly impossible
- Printing in LSB 3.2
System V and BSD command-line tools - Pretty much unchanged CUPS/1.1 is now the de-facto standard for printing in Linux - No other spooler has captured the market - Newer versions of CUPS have not yet reached everywhere ABIs in CUPS - CUPS Convenience API - CUPS PPD API - CUPS Raster API GhostScript will be required by LSB/3.2 - Must support a standard set of options - Must support a standard set of drivers - CUPS Raster - IJS - pxlmono, pxlcolor - OpenPrinting Vector foomatic-rip will be required by LSB/3.2 Standard search path for PPDs will be required by LSB/3.2
Ideas for LSB 4 - Uplift of CUPS ABIs - SANE - PAPI - Others?
Topic - Printer Setup Tools
system-config-printer (Till Kamppeter, LF)
- See slides for most details
- Not presented at OPS due to technical problems
YaST (Johannes Meixner, SUSE/Novell)
- See slides for most details
- Inherent ambiguity of "printer" versus "queue"
- hard for end users
Printer Drake (Marcelo Leitner, Mandriva)
- See slides for most details
- Impressions
- Ira - very nice tool
Part III: Printer Drivers and Printer Validation
OP Japan Vector Driver (Yasumasa Toratani, Canon)
- Vector Driver API (PDAPI, aka OPVP)
- Version 0.2 - current spec
- API Spec - released in 2003 - HP PCL5, Canon, Epson, and NEC Drivers have been released so far - Integrated in many distros as "opvp" driver with ESP GS - CUPS PDF filter "pdftoopvp" in 2006
- Version 1.0 - upcoming spec
- Current status: RC5 (almost done!) - ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/vector/pdapi-spec-1.0rc5.pdf [11] - Implementation - opvp based on 1.0 is in beta status - Several vendors are already implemented drivers and testing ... so far so good!
- New "opvp" code for Ghostscript supports both 0.2 and 1.0 driver - Automatically detects the API version exported by each printer driver - Automatically changes the API calling sequence according to the API version - Then both the opvp 0.2 compliant printer driver and the opvp 1.0 compliant printer driver work under the new opvp 1.0 code w/o any modifications! - Sample driver "opvpnull" is already updated for 1.0 - Driver feasibility test has almost finished (6 months) - Soon available at http://opfc.sourceforge.jp [10]
Distribution-Independent Driver Packages (Till Kamppeter, LF)
- See slides for most details
- Problems
- Distributions do not ship all available printer drivers - Free drivers from upstream need to be compiled by users - Driver installation too complicated for inexperienced users - Manufacturers make packages only for a few major distributions - Driver packages often difficult to find on manufacturer's web sites - Testing/packaging effort for manufacturers and driver developers too high to ship binary driver packages for all distributions
- Existing Infrastructure
- OpenPrinting database (former openprinting.org) - central database for printer/driver info - LSB provides tools and infrastructure to create distribution-independent binary packages
- Based on LSB 3.1 for binary format (later LSB 3.2) - Using CUPS, Ghostscript (with IJS, CUPS Raster and OpenPrinting Vector interfaces), Perl, and foomatic-rip which is in any distribution (and will be required by LSB 3.2) - Installing everything in /opt/<supplier>/ to avoid conflicts with distribution - Linking PPDs to /usr/share/ppd/ - Discovering system directory/file locations at install time - maintainer scripts: pre/post (un)install) and symlinking system files appropriately - Make packages part of OpenPrinting database, so that they can be easily found - Infrastructure for automatic package lookup, download, and installation through the internet by printer setup tools

SUSE Print Management (Johannes Meixner, SUSE/Novell)
- No slides posted - see Till's photo of whiteboard
- For print management, need *DEVICE* info (not just queue info)
- For supplies, lifetime, etc, need *DEVICE* info
Third-Party Printing Driver Development (Hin-Tak Leung)
- Recent Trends
- Larger Multi-function devices - scanner, fax modems - Smart handhelds - PictBridge
- How People Do It?
- How we did it: - print to FILE: - USB snoop - How others do it: - Guest OS in Boch/VMware virtualization - Hardware signal analyzer
- IDA Pro - .NET : Reflector - Java : ??
- Fact: Manufacturers are out for making money - hardware - consumables e.g. ink/toner cartridges - support contracts
- Fact: Manufacturers are out for making money - Question: Does it make financial sense? - IP, Patents, business advantage, 3rd party sub-contract/licensing - Justifying up-front business cost, and subsequent revenue projection - Hardware/software co-developed at close proximity - i.e., no specs - Cannot admit to hardware design faults and subsequent software work arounds, etc.
- Sale opportunities: print servers - New emerging market segments: - Commodities- tied-in with Bluetooth, mobile+phone, embedded devices, PDA, WebPAD - PictBridge - Product/Market Differentiator - same product class, more OSes supported

Topic - Printer Driver Validation
Printer Driver Validation (Yasumasa Toratani, Canon)
- Discussion Members
- Mihara<email@example.com> - Miyata<email@example.com> - Nagasaka<email@example.com> - Ogasawara<firstname.lastname@example.com> - Sekiguchi<email@example.com> - Shida<firstname.lastname@example.com> - drafting/arrangement - Toratani<firstname.lastname@example.com>
- Discussion
- Collected each member's comment about the Linux printer driver validation from the view point of: - What kind of things should be validated - Who validate - How to validate a printer driver - Validation cost
- Too early to start the Linux printer driver validation - We need more discussion first...
- First, discussion for defining the validation items should be started - Printing result? - Printing performance? - Printing options? - Printing from particular applications? - Language? ---> Test cases for printing validation
- Next, the validation tool, data and environment should be discussed, for instance: - OS and Application - Test Print Data (text? photo? graph?) - Languages - and more...
- Depending on the printing use cases... - In many cases, whether the driver works correctly or not can be validated only by the driver developer (printer vendor) ---> Self Validation
- On the other hand, we should also consider that the Linux desktop market is still smaller than that of the major Desktop OSs ---> Validation is good, but the balance between the test cases and testing/validating cost should be considered
- Multiple test case clusters - Multiple validation tools for test case clusters - And further discussion is being considered at The Linux Symposium Tokyo in November, 2007
Part IV: The OpenPrinting Summit 2007 is Over - Final Thoughts

Through utilizing artists to serve the community as educators, mentors and inspired examples of the tangible – and intangible – benefits of creative expression, RedLine, in turn, inspires and helps to create new generations of cultural and civic transformers. We are an urban laboratory that seeks to stimulate and ignite the creative potential of the community to which we are linked through art, education, dialogue and social responsiveness.
We are a free, open and supportive arts studio space where artists in Denver's "not exactly" homeless and in-transition community can come to express ourselves creatively, be exposed to new art forms, collaborate with peers, learn new skills and challenge each other to take the next step- in our art and in our lives. Read More.
The Community Studio is an educational space for the community at-large to experience and practice art alongside artist, instructors, fellow students and neighbors. Participants are invited to deepen their appreciation for art through hands-on activities central to RedLine's goal of bolstering the relationship between art, artist and the public. The Community Studio and programs serves as a resource for youth and adults based on the needs expressed by community members. Read More.
Our library is a resource for research, particularly concerning the history of Denver's art scene. We gladly accept tax-deductible donations to support its' growth. We specialize in Colorado arts and artists, but books, monographs, catalogues, magazines, and reference materials are welcome. Read More.
RedLine is a flexible, contemporary art space with 4 beautifully designed spaces perfect for a variety of occasions. Read More.
RedLine membership carries with it a host of benefits and helps to support the development of the arts in Colorado. Read More.
It is safe to say, RedLine would not be possible if it were not for the support of the weekly/monthly/annual volunteer support we receive both inside and outside of RedLine. Last year, RedLine celebrated over 700 hours of volunteer service in our exhibitions, membership, marketing, special events, and visitor service programs. Without volunteer support, RedLine would not be able to provide dynamic programming to over 20,000 visitors per year. Volunteer Progr Read More.
If you are passionate about the arts and want to support Denver's growing cultural community, consider making a donation to RedLine. Read More.

On Christmas Day, 2013, Winnipeg native Ryan DeLong began an ambitious game to raise money for animals.
The seed for the game was planted over a year before when DeLong visited Thailand and China on vacation and witnessed the deplorable conditions that animals lived in. The experience stayed with the 26 year old animal lover and motivated him to create the Bigger and Better for Animals project.
DeLong's idea was inspired by the 2005 One Red Paperclip project, in which Canadian Kyle MacDonald started with a red paperclip and traded it up for more valuable items until he had a house. DeLong's game began on Christmas Day with a Milkbone generously donated by his golden retriever puppy, Wilfred. The Milkbone was soon traded for a new pair of Converse shoes, and the shoes were traded shortly after for a Bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label Whiskey. In less than a month, and only six trades into the game, the item value is already up to $700 with a week at the Desert Breeze Condominiums in Phoenix, AZ. The game will continue for one year, at the end of which DeLong hopes to have an item valued around $100,000 to donate to the World Society for the Protection of Animals.
I have a soft spot for animals, would love to help them but do not have the financial capabilities of donating as much as I would like to. This idea is purely a fun way for other animal lovers to gather, trade items and watch as the value grows with the final dollar amount going to WSPA.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals battles animal cruelty both locally and internationally through education, collaboration with governments, global campaigns, disaster services, and scientific research.
Visit the Bigger and Better for Animals Facebook page to make a trade and help Ryan reach his donation goal of $100,000 for the WSPA.

In this study, the effect of exercise (treadmill, riding) on scrotal surface temperature (SST) in the stallion with and without suspensory was evaluated. Experiments were carried out between September and November 2004 using 12 Franches-Montagnes stallions from the National Stud in Avenches (Switzerland). Each stallion performed a standardized incremental treadmill and a ridden test with and without suspensory. The intensity of exercise was monitored by heart rate and blood lactate concentration. For SST measurements, special thermistors were developed and affixed to the most ventral part of the scrotum over each testis. SST was recorded telemetrically at 1min intervals. Our results show that type of exercise (treadmill/ridden) and suspensory (with/without) significantly influenced SST. The mean SST level was higher during treadmill (32.2+/-0.02 degrees C) than during ridden exercise (30.4+/-0.03 degrees C) and mean SST differences between stallions with and without suspensory were smaller in treadmill (0.4 degrees C) than in ridden (2 degrees C) exercise. These findings clearly demonstrate that ambient airflow, which was higher during ridden exercise, is important and effective in SST regulation. In order to prevent possible thermal damage to spermatogenic cells we recommend removing the suspensory immediately after exercise.

Chapter 4. National Conditions
There is broad discontent with national conditions in Pakistan. Nearly nine-in-ten are dissatisfied with the country's direction and the national economy. Pessimism about the economic future also remains high, though it has dropped somewhat over the past year. According to respondents, the biggest obstacles for Pakistan are crime and a lack of jobs, as well […]
Obama More Popular Abroad Than At Home, Global Image of U.S. Continues to Benefit
As the global economy begins to rebound from the great recession, people around the world remain deeply concerned with the way things are going in their countries. Less than a third of the publics in most nations say they are satisfied with national conditions, as overwhelming numbers say their economies are in bad shape. […]
Chapter 7. Attitudes Toward Extremism Among Muslim Publics
As in other recent Pew Global Attitudes surveys, this year's survey finds only limited support for terrorism among Muslim publics. There is no country in which a majority of Muslims endorse suicide bombing, voice confidence in Osama bin Laden, or express a favorable view of al Qaeda. Still, a significant number of Muslims in some […]
2010 Pew Global Attitudes Press Conference Video
Sec. Madeleine Albright, Sen. John Danforth and Andrew Kohut discuss the latest findings from the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes poll at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
Little Support for Terrorism Among Muslim Americans
Recent events have raised questions about the threat of homegrown terrorism in the U.S., but survey results show that Muslim Americans overwhelmingly reject extremism.
Declining Support for bin Laden and Suicide Bombing
Many fewer among Muslim publics express confidence in bin Laden or support violence against civilians in defense of Islam
Confidence in Obama Lifts U.S. Image Around the World
The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world reflecting global confidence in Barack Obama. In many countries, opinions of the U.S. are now about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade before George W. Bush took office.
Chapter 1. Views of the U.S. and American Foreign Policy
Attitudes toward the United States have become more positive in many nations across the globe over the last year. The shift in public opinion has been especially strong in Western Europe, but can be seen elsewhere as well, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, and to a lesser extent, the Middle East. In some nations, positive […]
Chapter 8. Attitudes Toward Extremism
Overall, support for suicide bombing, having declined substantially over the course of this decade among a number of Muslim publics, has not fallen further in the last year. Among the Muslim populations surveyed, support for suicide terrorism is limited, but with one key exception: the Palestinian territories, where a solid majority endorses such attacks. Pew […]
Few in Pakistan Support Extremists
But Few Favor Military Confrontation
Global Optimism, Local Fears
Unfavorable Views of Jews and Muslims on the Increase in Europe
Growing numbers of people in several major European countries say they have an unfavorable opinion of Jews, and opinions of Muslims also are more negative than they were several years ago. These findings are from a new Pew Global Attitudes Project report, based on data gathered from 24 countries from regions throughout the world, that examine worldwide religiosity and take a close look at Muslim publics' attitudes toward terrorism, Osama bin Laden, Hamas, Hezbollah and more.
Chapter 3. Muslim Views on Extremism and Conflict
The current survey reveals ongoing concerns about a number of threats and conflicts within the Muslim world. Among the eight Muslim publics included in the survey, there is widespread concern about the rise of Islamic extremism both within their countries and in the world more broadly. Many also see a conflict taking place within their […]

A Rising Tide Lifts Mood in the Developing World
A 47-nation survey finds that as economic growth has surged in much of Latin America, East Europe and Asia over the past five years, people are expressing greater satisfaction with their personal lives, family incomes and national conditions. The picture is different in most advanced nations, where growth has been less robust and citizen satisfaction has changed little since 2002.
Chapter 2. Global Publics Rate Their Countries
Overall, many publics are somewhat more satisfied with the state of their countries than they were five years ago. In the 35 nations where trends are available, the number of people satisfied has increased in 21, declined in nine, and remained basically unchanged in five. The greatest improvement is found in Bangladesh, where 75% currently […]
Chapter 4. The Middle East and the Muslim World
Muslim publics around the world increasingly reject suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets in the defense of Islam. Overall, majorities in 15 of 16 Muslim publics surveyed say that suicide bombings can be rarely or never justified. Fully 77% of Muslims in Indonesia – and nearly as many in Bangladesh, Pakistan […]

IV. How Muslims View Relations with the World
Large majorities of Muslims in most predominantly Muslim countries surveyed think that it is very important that Islam play a more important and influential role in the world than that religion now does. In Morocco, 84% of Muslims subscribe to this view, as do 73% in Jordan, 70% in Pakistan and 64% in Indonesia. Even […]
A Year After Iraq War
A year after the war in Iraq, discontent with America and its policies has intensified rather than diminished. Opinion of the United States in France and Germany is at least as negative now as at the war's conclusion, and British views are decidedly more critical. Perceptions of American unilateralism remain widespread in European and Muslim nations, and the war in Iraq has undermined America's credibility abroad. Doubts about the motives behind the U.S.-led war on terrorism abound, and a growing percentage of Europeans want foreign policy and security arrangements independent from the United States. Across Europe, there is considerable support for the European Union to become as powerful as the United States.
Chapter 2. Global Publics View Their Countries
The more than 38,000 people interviewed in the Global Attitudes survey are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the way things are going in their countries today. Solid majorities in nearly every country in every region surveyed say they are unhappy with the state of their nation. Although just four-in-ten Americans (41%) have a positive view of national […]

The publication of the Restatement Third: Unjust Enrichment and Restitution by the American Law Institute in July 2010 was an event of major importance, not only for the development of the law of unjust enrichment in the US, but also for global scholarship relating to this area of private law. The Restatement First appeared in 1937, and the Restatement Second was abandoned; hence the Restatement Third is the most significant survey of the American law on this topic for over 70 years. Private law has been a comparatively neglected area of study in US law schools for several decades, and this is particularly true of the law of unjust enrichment. However, the appearance of the Restatement Third has prompted a renewal of interest in the subject among US scholars, and it is hoped that the present volume of essays will contribute to this revival, while reflecting on the lessons to be learned from the Restatement by other legal systems. Featuring the work of leading scholars from the UK, Germany, South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia, the essays undertake critical and comparative analysis of the Restatement, and offer fresh insights into the rules that it articulates.

About Michael Braxton
Price List
Vows & Promises
Weddings & Commitment Ceremonies ...
without religion.
Your ceremony is a significant moment in life; a personal, distinctive statement shared with your family and friends; an intimate ritual celebrating your love and commitment while marking a formal beginning of your new life together. You'll likely want it to be rich in life, love and laughter and a cherished memory for everyone.
Your celebration lies in the hands of the person performing the ceremony. After all, you might only say those famous two words ("I Do") - but they could say 5000! A great wedding officiant is more that a person in a robe, with a heartfelt presentation. The officiant uses quotes, poetry, humor and his/her own original material to set the tone you expect and keep the participants engaged.
The verbal expression of your vows is an intimate and spiritual event – occurring at your most vulnerable moment. Shouldn't the wedding official be someone with whom you have a connection?
Whether your ceremony is held in an enormous venue or in the intimacy of your home, your celebrant should craft and deliver a beautiful, custom ceremony with vows that express your interests, dreams and intentions as well as your uniqueness as a couple. The spoken words and rituals on your wedding day should tell your love story and reflect your commitment.
I hope you will explore the Vows and Promises website and then give me a call. Perhaps I am the non-religious wedding ceremony official you are looking for… ? I look forward to finding-out.

People in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arabian Gulf region have a 60 percent lifetime risk of developing diabetes, according to an official of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the Arab News reported today.
"It is very scary; most people would contract diabetes if they didn't have the awareness of how to prevent the disease," said Dr. John B. Buse, ADA President, Medicine and Science, as quoted in the Arab News.
Dr. Buse said that the issue was widely recognized in Saudi Arabia and the big hope for the future was to detect diabetes early when the treatment is easier and generally more successful.
He was speaking at a press conference following the ADA's educational training program to manage diabetes in Africa and the Middle East held last week in Paris. The program, called "Standing Together Against Diabetes," was sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from the pharmaceutical company Sanofi Aventis.
The genetic tendency to diabetes in the Kingdom is high. Dr. Buse said that according to the "thrifty gene hypothesis," when starvation and low levels of food have been common in an area for a few centuries, people learned to do without sufficient nourishment. This worked to their advantage three to four generations ago.
Now, however, he noted, there is plenty of food all the time and many people do not perform physical labor as before. As a result, what was once a genetic advantage puts Gulf peoples at risk of diabetes and obesity. In contrast, western Europe experienced no long period of inadequate food and starvation, thus no genetic pressure for survival on little food.
Dr. Buse said that there should be public health campaigns to spread awareness of the need for changes in lifestyles. Additionally, early screening can prevent diabetes and complications with treatment.
The ADA training program was attended by many physicians and other medical professionals from Africa and the Middle East. The program was a milestone in the exchange of diabetes research information between African and Middle Eastern medical professionals and the ADA. The delegates reviewed the ADA's recommendations on diabetes screening and prevention and the most appropriate kinds of therapy. Participants were given educational tool kits, which allow them to bring the ADA's message to physicians in their home countries.

thank you.
I had a trigger job done by Robert Burke ... Robert Burke firstname.lastname@example.com
I took it out the range today and shot about 100 rounds through it.
Robert has reduced the DA trigger pull from around 11 lbs to 7.5 lbs and the SA to around 4 lbs. :mrgreen:
Both actions are smooth as silk.
Man I really glad I bought this gun.
Here's a shot I took of my brand new Sig P226. My first firearm purchase. :)
+1 cfusionpm
Welcome to the Sig Forum and congratulations.
You have bought one of the finest guns made.
You're gonna love it.
Let us know how it shoots.
It shoots wonderfully. I've rented and fired a decent number of handguns, but it wasn't until a friend recently introduced me to Sigs that I was instantly sold on one. I was dead set on a Beretta 92FS before being swayed by the P226. Beyond the general accuracy, reliability, etc etc, I just love how well it fits my hand compared to any other pistol I've shot.
Just picked up my latest "find" at the gun store - a SIG P6.
Gun + extra mag in the box
Took it home, got it nice and clean (what a job that was...that thing looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned in 10 years plus the grips were nice and crusty and there was "mystery fuzz" under the backstrap of the grips), and tonight once I get off work I'm headed over to the range to try it out. If it's anything like my '88 P226, it'll shoot like a dream.
I have yet to see one of these in 7 pages worth of posts...I feel special haha
P238 SAS, night sights, walnut grips, and soon to come and aluminum trigger from C&S (polished by myself) and polished barrel at the ejection port...I will be sure to post pics afer the mods. I also have a 239 with hogue finger grips and big dot night sites but I dont have any pics of it...

All have been great guns.
I bought this from a dealer when I lived in Pensacola, Florida from a gun dealer in Gulf Breeze.
This was June 2005 Limited Edition pistol is a P229 in Reverse Two-Tone. It is chambered in 40 S&W and feature a Nitron® slide over a Satin Nickel finished frame. The pistol will come with contrast sights and two magazines. I added the Tru-Glo night sites shortly afterwards.
I will have to check to see how much I paid for it then and get back to you. I Love it!

Shanghai Chinese & American Food
21 Main St., Tonawanda (City)
Phone: 694-1818; Fax: 694-1889
Shanghai is an affordable Chinese take-out restaurant with a few tables and chairs for dine in business in the heart of Tonawanda (City). They have a very diverse menu which includes the standard Chinese fare, as well as subs, pizza, wings, salads, jalapeno poppers and calzones.
The food is of very good quality and the portion sizes are more than adequate enough.
I have ordered from the American side of the menu, and the Greek salad is exceptionally good. The small ($4.95) is a huge salad served with a generous portion of feta cheese and a large warm pita.
The fish fry, pizza and subs are of decent quality, but there are better places in Tonawanda to get these food items. Stick to the salads and Chinese menu.
On the appetizer side of the menu the shrimp toast (4/$3.25), fried wonton (10/$3.25) and boneless spareribs (small $4.95; large $9.35) are all very good tasting choices.
The daily lunch specials on the Chinese side of the menu are served 7 days a week from 11:00am until 3:00pm. All lunch specials are $4.95 and include your choice of pork fried or white rice, and an egg roll or soup (egg drop, wonton, hot & sour) or a can of soda. There is an extra charge of 75cents for chicken, beef or shrimp fried rice.
Dinner specials on the Chinese side of the menu are served 7 days a week and can be ordered anytime. All dinner specials are $6.95 and include your choice of pork fried or white rice, and an egg roll. There is an extra charge of 75cents for chicken, beef or shrimp fried rice for both lunch and dinner specials. Well worth the extra 75cents for the shrimp fried rice. They put a lot of small shrimp in the shrimp fried rice.
My recommendation for the lunch special is the teriyaki chicken with chicken fried rice and egg roll. $4.95 gets you a little smaller appetizer size portion of teriyaki chicken (listed on the menu for $5.75/5 as an appetizer) with rice and an egg roll. You can easily share this with another person for lunch if you have smaller appetites. Split the egg roll and you've got lunch for less than $7 if you pick up instead of having it delivered.
My recommendation for the dinner special is the shrimp egg foo young. The dinner portion is huge, with 3 large egg foo young patties full of shrimp, more than enough for two people. Get the shrimp fried rice for an extra 75cents, order an extra egg roll for $1.20 and you have dinner for two for less than $10 if you pick up instead of opting for delivery.
Also recommended from the Chef's Specialties section is Happy Family ($10.95) and includes white rice, lobster, jumbo shrimp, lobster stick, chicken and pork in brown sauce sauteed with bamboo shoots, baby corn, water chestnuts, snow peas and straw mushrooms. More than enough for 2+ people.
The Family Dinner Special is a good value. Choose a small (feeds 2 to 3; $17.95) or large (feeds 3 to 4 $29.95) size Dinner A (2 egg rolls; wonton or egg drop soup, roast pork or chicken fried rice, roast pork or chicken lo mein, roast pork or chicken with broccoli, General Tso's or sesame chicken. Dinner B (small $18.95; large $32.25) includes 2 egg rolls, wonton or egg drop soup, beef or shrimp lo mein, beef or chicken with garlic sauce, General Tso's or sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken or beef. Dinner C (small $19.95; large $33.95) includes 2 egg rolls, wonton or egg drop soup, beef or shrimp fried rice, house special lo mein, shrimp or chicken with broccoli, General Tso's or sesame chicken, orange flavored chicken.
Shanghai is open Monday through Thursday 11:00am until 10:30pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00am until 11:30pm, and Sunday from 12:00pm until 10:30pm.

Buffer Overflow in Netware Web Server PERL Handler
The Netware Enterprise Server does not perform proper bounds check on
requests passed to the PERL interpreter through the PERL virtual
directory. This results in a buffer overflow condition, when large
requests are sent to the PERL interpreter.
Vulnerable systems:
* Netware 5.1 SP6
* Netware 6
The issue can be triggered by requesting the PERL virtual directory
followed by a long string.
http://server/perl/aaaaaa...[Unspecified number of characters]
The vulnerability occurs in the CGI2PERL.NLM module.
A request as shown above will overrun the allocated buffer and overwrite
EIP, causing the server to ABEND and either suspend the process or restart
itself, thereby creating a Denial of Service situation.

In order to best utilize a diamond gemstone's material properties, a number of different diamond cuts have been developed. A diamond cut constitutes a more or less symmetrical arrangement of facets, which together modify the shape and appearance of a diamond crystal. Diamond cutters must consider several factors, such as the shape and size of the crystal, when choosing a cut.
Diamond clarity is a quality of diamonds relating to the existence and visual appearance of internal characteristics of a diamond called inclusions, and surface defects called blemishes. Inclusions may be crystals of a foreign material or another diamond crystal, or structural imperfections such as tiny cracks that can appear whitish or cloudy.
A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond is perfectly transparent with no hue, or color. However, in reality almost no gem-sized natural diamonds are absolutely perfect. The color of a diamond may be affected by chemical impurities and/or structural defects in the crystal lattice.
Diamonds and other gemstones are weighed in metric carats. Because even a fraction of a carat can make a considerable difference in cost, precision is crucial. In the diamond industry, weight is often measured to the hundred thousandths of a carat, and rounded to a hundredth of a carat.

Daniel Hernandez was Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' intern for only five days before she was gunned down in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday, Jan. 8. Hernandez is now recognized as a hero for helping to save her life as she lay helpless on the concrete after being shot in the senseless act of violence that stunned the nation.
Hernandez is an active leader of the United States Student Association, the country's oldest and largest national student-led organization, representing over 4.5 million students at more than 400 campuses across the nation. USSA President Linda McCluskey called the hero, who is a trainer in the organization's Electoral Action Program, "the intern credited with saving Congresswoman Giffords' life."
The 20-year-old University of Arizona student had been helping people check in at the "Congress on Your Corner" event being sponsored by Giffords, known for hosting public outings directly with her constituents.
Hernandez told The Arizona Republic newspaper that he wasn't sure if the gunfire had stopped when he rushed to the area of the shooting. He said he saw many wounded people lying on the ground. He moved from person to person, checking people's pulses.
"First the neck, then the wrist," he said.
One person was already dead when he saw Giffords. Using his hand Hernandez applied pressure to the entry wound. She had been shot in the head. He pulled her into his lap, holding her upright so she wouldn't choke on her own blood. She was conscious, but unresponsive.
Hernandez never let go of her and stayed with her until the paramedics arrived. He climbed into the ambulance and held Giffords' hand the whole ride to the hospital, where he remained as she went into emergency surgery.
"She was one of the people I've looked up to," he told the Republic. "Knowing she was alive and still fighting was good news. She's definitely a fighter, whether for her own life, or standing up for people in southern Arizona."
Eight hours after the shooting Hernandez remained with Giffords' friends, family and staff. Speaking about the shooting Hernandez recalled his actions. "Of course you're afraid; you just kind of have to do what you can," he said. "You just have to be calm and collected. You do no good to anyone if you have a breakdown."
"It was probably not the best idea to run toward the gunshots, but people needed help," he said.
"On behalf of his four million fellow students in USSA, I applaud his heroic efforts to help those in need amidst gunfire. He epitomized the kind of courage that Ernest Hemingway called 'grace under pressure' and is an inspiration to all of us," said McCluskey, the USSA president.
She added that students nationwide send their heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the families that have lost loved ones and those still recovering from the tragic violence. "Such atrocities have no place in a society based on civility and compassion," she said.
Giffords, who continues her brave recovery, is a shining example of the type of leader students look up to, says McCluskey. She has demonstrated her devotion to social justice with her support of the DREAM Act and to increasing college access and affordability through voting for the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act.
USSA mourns the death of Federal Judge John Roll, nine-year-old Christina Taylor, Dorothy Murray, and Phyllis Schneck and send regards to their families, notes McCluskey.
"We hope for a successful and speedy recovery for Congresswoman Giffords, Ron Barber, and Pam Simon," she said.

I Cannot Use Anything ElseThis serum is the best ever.

There is no build up either and never gets dull on my hair. Sometimes its hard to find and this is why--because it is truly the best and worth the price. I only use 2 or 3 squirts on my entire head so it lasts pretty long.

A Turning Point For My HairI have thick hair. It cannot decide weather its wavy or straight. I use this with heat protect by the same brand. I love the effect I get with a flat iron. I also dye my hair a few times a year and this keeps my hair vibrant.

On March 1, 2012, Maureen Mahon, a cultural anthropologist who teaches in the ethnomusicology program in the Department of Music at New York University, will present a lecture entitled "Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton's Blues and the Sound of Rock and Roll" in the Museum's Foster Theater. The event is free and open to the public.
One of Janis Joplin's prime influences, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was one of the great female blues singers of post-war years. She descended directly from Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and other major vocalists of the classic blues period. Thornton's raw, belting vocal style made her self-composed "Ball 'n' Chain" a study in blues expression. Joplin remade "Ball 'n' Chain" with the same intensity Thornton gave the song. Joplin's dazzling performance of it was a highlight of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Oddly enough, Thornton is far better known for being the first singer to record "Hound Dog" – the tune penned by the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and later recorded by Elvis Presley – than she is for biting blues numbers like "Ball 'n' Chain."

MAG: Lady Gaga Gets Her Energy from "Refrigerator-Size Medical Dispensary"
The National Enquirer claims that Lady Gaga is able to keep up with her jam-packed schedule because she "travels with a refrigerator-size medical dispensary," containing all sorts of special energy-boosting supplies.
According to a supposed "insider" for the tabloid, Gaga's traveling medicinal kit includes "rapid-release painkillers" and muscle relaxers, as well as "syringes used to inject pre-show shots" of vitamin B12.
But "what really keeps The Gaga going," reveals the mag, is "her very own professional oxygen unit."
A rep for the "You and I" singer tells Gossip Cop simply, "This isn't true."
Like the supposed oxygen tank, the Enquirer's tale is just full of air.
Check out PHOTOS of Gaga at the Giants game in New York!

- Brief description: Medium-sized dunnart with a distinctive fine crest of black hairs on the underside of the tail towards the tip.
- Description : A medium-sized dunnart with brown-grey fur above and white below. Feet white. Large ears and black eye-rings. Tail longer than the head and body and with a crest of black or brown hairs on the terminal quarter, a feature unique to this species. Head and body to 13.3 cm.
- Biology : This is the largest dunnart that inhabits the south-central deserts and it has a large home range to match its size – about 7.5 ha. It is nocturnal and shelters in spinifex clumps during the day, but it is also known to construct burrows. The diet is mainly medium-sized invertebrates such as beetles, spiders and grasshoppers, but it will take small lizards and other mammals if the opportunity arises. The average litter size is five and young live in a pouch that is formed by a circular patch of hairless skin and surrounded by swollen mammary tissue. Young are born in spring and are weaned by mid-summer. This species is believed to be rare or uncommon in the wild. The Sandhill Dunnart makes structured high-frequency calls similar to some bats, but the purpose of these is not known.
- Habitat: Spinifex grasslands on sandy soils usually with an overstorey of woodland trees.
- Native status: Native to Australia.
- Maximum size (cm): 13.3
- Diet: Carnivore
- Dangerous: Usually harmless, but can bite.

Don't Say a Little Alcohol is Healthy...
You hear it all the time. "A glass of red wine a day is good for you." But many experts insist no study has ever proved a relationship between moderate drinking and lower risk of death. Instead, the association may occur because healthy people—with healthy habits—just don't drink a lot. Even supporters of booze for health are quick to point out that alcohol has been linked to breast cancer, liver disease and stroke when abused; The New York Times reports.
Hooch might be a great social lubricate, but it's risky. Dr. Fuhrman doesn't condone alcohol for health, saying the negatives of alcohol outweigh the supposed positives. For example, a previous report found heavy drinking harms the heart, by stiffening arteries and raising blood pressure.
In related news, excessive drinking has been shown to shrink brain volume and a lot of boozing may be lead to erectile dysfunction. So, don't drink. You'll go limp and dumb!

Nando Ottavi, Nuova Simonelli's chairman explained that the company has doubled, more than once, its turnover in the last 20 years and closed its 2004 financial year with an increase in turnover equal to 8% in comparison with 2003. In the first three months of this year there has been an increase of 13% in comparison to the same period last year. This increase in production forced the company to create a new plant stretching over an area of 20, 000 sq. m. Once running regularly, seven assembling lines will be operative. The production, which at presently 15,000 machines per year, will reach 26,000, that is to say 120 each working day. "That's a coffee machine every four minutes, " states the company.
In the previous location of Via dell' Artigianato, still in Belforte del Chienti, production there will now be concentrated to the machines labelled Victoria Arduino, which has the characteristic golden color with a winged symbol. This year Victoria Arduino is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The sales' net of Nuova Simonelli is operating in 98 countries throughout the world with over 600 specialized dealers. In the U.S. a branch was opened 20 years ago in Seattle. About 80% of the product is destined for abroad and the remaining 20% is sold in Italy.
"The signing of this joint MOU today is very important to both exchanges because it is the start of a relationship between our two global marketplaces," said Zhang Xueren, chairman of the board of the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange. "This agreement shows the world that our two exchanges share a deep interest to learn more about each other's business and find ways to work together and make both our businesses operate more efficiently."
The MOU agreement allows both exchanges to explore new business opportunities and to capitalize on efficiencies both can earn by working together. Areas of interest include information sharing, market building, joint educational seminars and symposiums, and new product and service offerings.
Established in 1990, the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (ZCE) is the first futures marketplace in China. The exchange is regulated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
The New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) is New York's original futures exchange, where the world trades food, fiber and financial products.
"R.J. O'Brien is very concerned with giving our customers the best service and value we can provide," said Colleen Mitchell, President of R.J. O'Brien. "By having our brokers use NYBOT's Order Book Management System (OBMS) on a wireless, handheld device while standing in the pit, our customers can now have their fill information routed back to them at practically the same instant the order is filled via open outcry in one of NYBOT's trading pits."
Upon entry of the order fill information into NYBOT's OBMS application, the order originator is notified electronically of the order fill, and at the same time, the trade matching necessary for end-of-day checks and the trade clearing processes is initiated.
"This is another illustration of the continued success of NYBOT's use of technology to make our form of open outcry more efficient," said C. Harry Falk, NYBOT president and c.e.o. "We are committed to enhancing open outcry by making it more efficient and competitive by using technology such as OBMS - we encourage other FCMs and brokers to take a look at what this system has to offer."
The OBMS works in conjunction with NYBOT's Electronic Order Routing (EOR) system, which has also been successfully deployed on NYBOT's trading floor, and which allows an FCM or broker to send an order directly to a broker's booth on the trading floor. That order then can be routed to a floor trader using a wireless handheld device. Once the order has been filled, the trader automatically sends information to both the clerk and NYBOT's Trade Input Processing System (TIPS).
Because EOR is connected to NYBOT's pricing system, users can access timely market data. NYBOT's system also has the unique ability to handle most complex order types as well as all active products and contract months.

nutty and delicious and pack a serious nutritional punch. In short: I've fallen hard for them.

If you haven't tried hemp seeds, they're chewier than other seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds and have a really wonderful, nutty flavor. A complete source of protein (10 grams per serving!), essential fats and vitamins, they're great in the morning because they don't contain much sugar.
My go-to way to eat them is on yogurt with a little honey, but many people love eating them in salads, smoothies, soups, and pestos or sauces. They are still illegal to produce in the United States, to my knowledge, but you can find them at most gourmet grocery stores or health food stores (I like the Hemp Hearts brand and have an easy time tracking them down).
If you have yet to dive into the word of hemp seeds, here are a few great recipes to help inspired you:
