Motorists in Cumbria and County Durham are being urged to take extra care ahead of the annual Appleby Horse Fair. The festival begins on June 4, but travellers, many in horse-drawn carriages, traditionally begin to arrive in the area from late May. In 2006 there was a fatal crash when one of the horse-drawn carriages was forced off the road by a speeding motorist. There have also been other accidents involving caravans heading to and from the fair.Warning signs are being erected on the A66 and on the A1 approaches to the Scotch Corner interchange.The week-long event in Cumbria is the largest horse fair in Europe, attracting more than 30,000 visitors, including up to 1,400 caravans and horse-drawn vehicles.In addition, there will be increased patrols on the A66 by the police and Highways Agency Traffic Officers. A Highways Agency spokesman said: "Horse-drawn vehicles are particularly vulnerable and motorists need to take special care during the fair period. "The message to horse-drawn vehicle owners is simple - be safe be seen."

|Clarksville, Tenn. - Rymond C. Hand Park
|SIU - RHP Bryce Sablotny (1-0, 3.60) vs. APSU - LHP Zach Hall (1-0, 3.60)

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - The Southern Illinois baseball team will visit Austin Peay Tuesday for a midweek nonconference matchup. SIU will look to return to its winning ways after snapping a three-game winning streak on Sunday. First pitch on Tuesday is scheduled for 3 p.m.
TUESDAY'S STARTER Junior Bryce Sablotny will make his second start of the season after picking up a win in his Saluki debut last week at UT Martin. Sablotny tossed five innings and allowed two runs off three hits. He faced the minimum through the first three innings, and all of the damage against him came in the fourth inning.
AUSTIN PEAY SERIES NOTES SIU will face Austin Peay for the first time since 2000. The Salukis lead the all-time series, 20-10. This will be Southern's second trip to Austin Peay since 1998. The two teams met annual from 1989 until 2000. After winning seven in a row against the Governors from 1994 to 1998, SIU has dropped three of the last four meetings with Austin Peay.
SCOUTING THE GOVERNORS Austin Peay was picked to win the Ohio Valley Conference and is off to a 6-1 start. Following a weekend sweep of Illinois State, the Governors enter the game on a five-game winning streak. They are hitting .278 as a team with a 4.29 team ERA. Second baseman Jordan Hankins was tabbed as the Preseason OVC Co-Player of the Year and is hitting .370 through seven games. Outfielder Cody Hudson and shortstop Reed Harper also made the Preseason All-OVC Team. Hudson is second on the team with a .407 average behind sophomore outfielder Dylan Riner, who is hitting .421. Starting pticher Zach Hall allowed two runs off three hits and also issued five walks in five innings to take the win last Tuesday at Middle Tennessee.
JONES MVC PLAYER OF THE WEEK Catcher Matt Jones was named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week on Monday for his performance in the previous week's games. Jones had a red hot week at the plate for SIU, hitting .474 with 10 RBI in four games. In a three-game series at Jacksonville State, Jones went 8-for-15 with three doubles and three multi-hit games. On Friday he recorded three hits and drove in five runs, the most by a player in the MVC this season. He followed up that performance by recording three more hits and driving in five more runs in Saturday's game. His nine hits during the week gave him a conference leading 15 on the season.
HOT HITTING Over the last four games, SIU has posted a team batting average of .349. During that stretch, the Salukis are averaging nine runs and more than 13 hits per game. Four Salukis (Matt Jones, Austin Montgomery, Luke Mottashed and Jake Welch) have driven in at least four runs over the last four games. Matt Jones and Jake Welch have led the offensive charge. Both are hitting a scalding .474 (9-for-19) with three doubles apiece in the last four games.
DOUBLE VISION The Salukis lead the Missouri Valley Conference with 14 doubles in their first seven games. Matt Jones and Jake Welch are tied for the team lead with four each. Three of Jones' doubles came in Friday's win over Jacksonville State. In 2012 SIU tied a school record with 125 doubles in 59 games.
CATCHER PRODUCTION Matt Jones and Luke Mottashed have split time behind the plate this season with Jones starting four games as catcher and Mottashed starting three games as catcher. In seven games this season, the catcher's spot in the order has batted .467 (14-for-30) with five doubles and 11 RBI. That doesn't even include Jones' 6-for-13 effort and five RBI in three starts as the DH.
STRONG STARTS SIU's starting pitchers have lasted at least five innings in six of seven games this season. In each of the last six games, the Salukis' starter has allowed three runs or less. Overall the staff is second in the MVC with a 3.60 team ERA and has held opponents to a conference low .228 batting average.
LOOKING AHEAD Following Tuesday's game, Southern Illinois will face Western Kentucky in a three-game series beginning with the home opener on Friday, March 1 at 2 p.m. The Salukis will then be on the road on Tuesday, March 5 against Murray State.

I doubt it'll be unlikely, I have a high feeling of him appearing and battling Ash or Iris.
Benga vs Ash would be epic. Pikachu can redeem himself for trollbias by beating Benga's Latios, Ash's torterra can do what paul couldnt and beat a garchomp while Volcarona is anyone's game.
Ash should battle Alder and win with Spetile
Ash entering a tournament with rivals, old and new.. except Tobias, he's banned. Each contestant gets to enter 6 Pokemon. Every starter is owned by someone, Paul has to face someone just like Ash which annoys him, Morrison's Arcanine's Flash Fire comes into play against Virgil, Ash gets to beat both Harrison and Tyson, Gary and Paul face off and we see who's Electivire reigns supreme.. and many more perks!

OR Playthrough - Currently In Training
I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
this is an idea I had for chronicles ep that could set up for an awesome filler arc/gen 6 if Ash does it Johto/sinnoh style where he brings in a pokemon from the past to be with him in addition to Pikachu.
TRio does some random mission in Kanto which results in them blasting off like good times sakes. Maybe Leaf could do the coup de grace as a much needed cameo. Meowth blasts all the way to Mt.Silver where he falls in the lap of Ash's Larvitar, now a tyranitar as he moves down to mountain to watch this year's Johto league. On the big screen they showed some highlights of past Johto leagues, culminating with Charizard vs blastoise as Ash sucessfully defeated Gary in a battle. Tyranitar is moved to tears as the exploits of his past trainer and Meowth takes notice. Tyranitar tells meowth of his wish to see Ash again and maybe even join him.
At this point Meowth thought of an ingenious idea. Capturing Tyranitar for the boss(oh come on who didn't see this coming). So he agreed to take Tyranitar to Oak's and then on the way there set up an ambush to capture him. In exchange tyranitar would defene meowth from enemy attacks. And there were many, on the road to Pallet town, tyranitar took down dozens of hostile wild pokemon using his moveset of Stone edge, Dark pulse, Earth power and Superpower. Eventually they made it to route 1 where Jessie and james readied an ambush. However as they tried to make off with their cargo, Pidgeot sees and readies his forces to attack team rocket, freeing tyranitar and sending Trio packing. Pidgeot gives Tyranitar directions to Oak's lab and escorts him there where he finds everyone in the midst of preparing a
pity party for Ash losing the Unova leagueCongratulations party for being top 2. As he walked in, Pigeot explained to bulbasaur who he was, but Ash's Johto pokemon instantly recognized him and Tyranitar was accepted into party preparations. The episode ends with Ash walking dejectedly into Oak's lab and everyone promptly yelling surprise as Tyranitar runs over to Ash and gives him a big hug.
Ash then captures tyranitar and uses him as part of his team.

I like the idea of Ash taking down Legendary Pokemon with ordinary Pokemon.
If a Complete rookie like Trip allowed to be Superior then Ash just because he's the first person Ash battle in the series then Ash should be able to take down Trobias even if Trobias use 6 legendary Pokemon against him !
After all , This anime doesn't care about logic or fairness !

Ash's Leavanny learning X-Scissor and Solarbeam.
Welcome back Charizard! I've missed you so much! <3
I'd like to see a match between Alder and Cynthia, Bouffalant vs Garchomp. Should be an even better match than Cynthia vs Caitlin.
Trip meet Trollbias and starts to spam Trollbias's Pokemon with his only Serperior.
It's not Shingan crimsonz, but SHINGAYCRIMSONZ
Ash and Dawn vs Paul and Ursula...that will never happen unless it's a tag-battle tournament lol

In what is probably one of the biggest announcements today from Comdex, AMD demonstrated its Athlon 64 processor running a 64-bit version of Unreal Tournament 2003. All signs are pointing towards a first quarter release of the 64-bit processor, at least according to Mike Magee over at the INQ.
The only question is when we'll see Athlon 64s show up on retail shelves. Official dates are talking about the first quarter next year. Chipset firms at Computex in Taiwan were talking about the end of Q1 next year.More information @ The Inquirer

Zach's base color has darkened! o no
Also Max's colors have been lightened slightly
Next: Trying out fine line inking alongside brushwork
Discussion (125) ¬
Nice one Max!
I love Zach's look and as I said Max's look is one of my favorites of bunch. Also lol Heart exploding is a 4 to Max.
I think 5 is death.
No, the word death is a little bland: 5 is sudden Cardiac Arrest
5 may be sudden cardiac arrest…with a Mc. Deathshake and some biggy fries.
No, that'd be a 4.5. A 5 is your entire body spontaneously combusts as your dying screams seem to fade away as if your soul continues the sound as it flies off… Even after your body violently explodes in a very Monty Python way.
A 6 is that, plus a complimentary and free trip to whatever equivalent to a Mc.Donalds they have in the afterlife.
Zach stay away from the light! Deep breaths!
Yeah, Max looks amazing.
Also I think 5 is "Call 9-1-1 now !!!"
then whats six?
Complete with a red phone and a creepy little girl.
Since this is Zach, you have to subtract 1 from his rating in order to normalize te result. Otherwise, you'll completely skew your average.
Zach should wear the t-shirt that says: "WHY ALWAYS ME ?"
Love to see that lol! Rick you should make a t-shirt having Pete, ghosts, and woodland critters looming over Zach with a scared look on his face! Just like the Blair Witch Project movie poster! :3
Jerk move, Max. Wonder what a five is, unconsciousness?
Like the change to Zach, actually, but can't really notice Max's colors. Maybe if I did a side by side comparison.
Max has arranged something to where Zach did end up passing out.
Remember the haunted house?
Ooogah Boogah Boogah!
Huh, honestly forgot about that.
Goblin with moustache's are always scary
Alt Text: Question two: Are you now thinking about spiders crawling all over your face while you sleep?
No i hadn't been having that image…until you mention it DX
hahaha thanks Garrison!
It was a little stuffy the other night.
I turned on the AC, controls reached from my bed.
My AC is mounted directly over my bed.
Guess where the baby spiders had just hatched?
… yeah.
Is the speck in the first panel part of the troll? I seriously thought my monitor had a dead pixel and I started freaking out… 3/5! D:
No, it's a piece of dirt flying through the air from a cliff offscreen. It lands in Zach's ear. No, the dot in Zach's ear is just shading. I'm pretty sure he just was planning on drawing a cloud or something there, and then he erased most of it but didn't get one part.
Or maybe it's a storm cloud way off in the distance! Who knows?
Hmm I like the heavy brush in the first panel but not so much in the second. Also lol don't be a troll Max!
and my hopes that a pun wouldn't show up are now shattered.
Im thinking abaout the view of the comic, nice styls for Zach and better, Max, but i think you ignored de background :p
Oh lolz, i don't know how to write lolx2 i said "style" and "the" sorry :p
Other than a shocking lack of a Z, Zach looks good, I don't know if someone seeing the character for the first time would read that as a bell around Max's neck.
I like the new colors. Very distinctive. They're just kind of surprising when you're not expecting them.
With the first strip in the new style I was skeptical but i'm geting fond of this style.
Poor Zach always being the test subject (Max knows Zach is a scaredly cat so his heart exploding only worths a 4) LoL
P.s. I was wondering if the upload time would be changed according with the timing change so i just passed by and here i am. Soooo… Since now the upload will be at 11?
Considering how apprehensive Zach looks in that first panel, one has to wonder why he was at a Halloween shop at all with that fragile constitution.
I think the apprehension stems from him noticing the sudden lack of background color, and wondering if he somehow wondered into a Spot Superdog comic.
The "lack of background color" is actually just a blue-grey cloudless sky. Considering that that's exactly what the sky looks like in parts of the US today, which is where they've been established to live (considering that Fox's owner took King and Fox to Kansas on his motorcycle), I think it's pretty realistic for Babylon Gardens to have a sky like that.
Behave yourself, Max. Don't make Sabrina get out her Ouija™ board again. You know she knows how to use it!
Epic halloween scare Max! I do feel sorry for poor Zach though
Max as a troll. Classic.
I am severely reminded of The Princess Bride when I read this comic.
…. "Interesting."
look at that. any who. ALLONZ-Y
hey look a dr who fan sweet i love the brushwork by the way
i know right
OK, The eye color I think still needs to be enlarged to counter the white of the eye otherwise the color itself is barely noticeable. And is Rick trying to go for a minimalistic background now? I would really like to have seen some trees behind the bushes, something to fill in the empty space. Personally, I think the backgrounds used before the new style gave the comic more richness and atmosphere. Actual color in the background, instead of just tones of bluish gray shown in the last strip.
Of course, this is only the second comic to come of the new style. Perhaps I am just jumping the gun. We shall see.
I agree with most of what you said.
I addition, as I said in the previous comic, I feel that thick character lines only work on detailed backgrounds. Otherwise it just looks…off.
I'm thinking the backgrounds should be colored with watercolor.
OK, I'm definitely not a fan of the white/gray space in the background. the comic doesn't look complete. With all do respect, Rick.
So… will you remove the paw pads for all characters? also max's bell is not ridiculously big (in a good way) anymore.
Em……they look mostly the same.
Important research material at hand here.
Also, them cat teeth. They are the coolest part about the new art so far, second being the ears. Now just to see what other cats look like in comparison
Any one remember this comic
I completely agree with Grape and now so will Zach
Okay, you are definitely getting the hang of using that brush – kudos. Your line control has gotten noticeably better. The background is still a little flat, though the delineated bush-bit is nicely rendered. You are still doing the "flat black" shading, and I'm still not sure about that. I worry about what will happen if you use it in conjunction with dramatic lighting (like, when they confronted Pete).
Your actual line work is still a little messy (I'm looking at Max's bell, and that black mass that's eaten his collar in the second panel). It feels a little weird to outline the different fur colors, but that's a style choice that I can take or leave, I guess. Not to sure about Max's head – it feels a little squat and the ears are a little exaggerated…but if that's how all the felines are now, well…*awkward shrug*
To Sum: I'm still missing your old style, but if you are set on changing it, you are definitely going in a better direction here vs. the previous page.
to be perfectly honest. I prefer the old style. the old style was unique and perfect for the characters
Amen to that, I mis the thinner lines.
I second that. The newer, thicker lines rob the characters of detail, detracts from the quality, you know?
…This made me facepalm into oblivion after noticing what the bag said. I'm a legit employee of The Halloween Superstore xD And as for your new style- I like it!
Ya know, I thought that menchining meme's isn't alowed on this sight, Rick?!?
The titile is trolling with trolls right? So does that meen that I can say that people are trolling wighle reading trolling with trolls which makes me troll-la-oll-loll-loll-loll, la-loll-la-loll!!!
(I hope you don't delete this Rick, & please answer.)
I wonder what a 5 would be…
Dude we cuverd that already.
5!!!!. . . .X-X*laying on keyboard*
The sketchiness of the thick-brush style is very appropriate for Halloween, Rick!
LOL @ "I think my heart exploded"
Well if it did you wouldn't be talking LOL
Eh, personally I'm not a fan of the new design. But maybe that's just me.
Ha, that's the best Halloween comic I've seen in a long time! XD
Based on Rick's recent tweets, this may be the last strip this week.
"Well that will put a damper on my plans http://twitpic.com/b8hjgx "
"So, there is probably not gonna be any more comics this week"
I hope it's not anything really serious!
I LOVE these comics so much >w< Personally though, i liked the old art style a bit better. It made the background look really lovely
On the xkcd scale, almost everything is a 1
The coloring scheme and backgrounds remind me of the old Peanuts comics, when they used to put it in color.
I'm sure I will get used to the new style as it's not really bad, just doesn't look as good or professional imho. My other concern is backgrounds. You have always had very nice ones that were as detailed as they needed to be for the panel, but in the last 2 strips the backgrounds were so bright and detailed that they pulled my attention away from the characters a story. I may be the only one in that regard.
The characters themselves don't seem too off, but I concur with a previous poster that max's head looks a little squashed. the heavy brush seems fine in some places, but get extremely bold in others which is also a little distracting. Anyway I am hoping to see some of the other styles you mentioned, but if you stick with this one I hope you will consider toning down the backgrounds just a bit.
I agree with you.
On it all.
However, he is experimenting.
…. no background? Really….? : (
I honestly liked the direction the art was going in the temple arc, with the dynamic persepctives and such.
This…. I don't know if this is a good idea…
I just saw the news that you were in the hospital. I didn't see if you had gotten sick or hurt though. Either way I hope you get better soon. If you need anything, your fans are here to help, but in the meantime I hope you take a well deserved rest.
Wait… then what's a 5?!
Your face and innards imploding upon themselves, only to explode and rain bunnies from the sky…
…Sort of like a pinata. ^3^
zach=Bugs bunny?
get well
I'm digging the new look :3
I guess I will put in my two cents?
Saw the new character designs and love them, but the thick outlines literally give the comic a "harsh" effect. That being said, we've only seen two strips; so, having more dynamic-looking characters and a thicker outline might make for a unique style. –Can't wait to see more. :3
Get well soon Rick! All my critiques aside, without you there would not be any Housepets of which I am a huge fan.
I agree, I hate to get mushy about this but, I feel still so new to this comic if you you go … I … just don't see me reading this comic eny more just the thought makes me sad, the things that all of us share with you and all are simply not replacible things hear wold not bot be the same, Rick you better teach someone you know and train someone in the wase of the house pets or tell us that it's all over. I'll tell you this though, we won't leave without a fight some things just can't be the same without the original team.
We are all hear for ya budy, even the people that are commenting for the first time. Haller if ya need.
But I bet you still don't have mutch to say about my comment with the trolling with trolls do ya?
I like these colors for Max and Zach. It's subtle, though. I didn't even notice until it was mentioned
I like the colors too but they may be a bit too bright, could you darken it a bit and also the eyes….. they're so bright… especially the green ones! also as for the backgrounds i have to say they're too much like an amercian comic like batman comics i liked the cartoony ones better it seems as if your putting a bit too much effort and that seems like it will cause comics to be delayed more often.
Anyone else read Max's speech in a GLAdOs voice? I can't be the only one,I hope .w.
I like your new style very much
This needs to be known to everyone!
I'd better go posting
my opinion: old style is much better
"Question Two: Are you now thinking about spiders crawling all over your face while you sleep?" Thank you, thank you very bloomin' much! Now even I can't get to sleep. eeeeeeeew! LOL but eeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
LOVE the title :3
hummmmmmm i would rate as a 9 easyli.
I want to know who'd be a five.
Oh, Max. what halloween WON'T you make horrifying?

Laramie Project
March 21st – May 12th
Running Time: 2 hours, 30 Minutes with two intermissions
Laramie Project: Ten Years Later
April 18th – May 13th
Running Time: 2 hours with one intermission
For more information and tickets, visit: zachtheatre.org
When Laramie Project hit the stage of Zach Theatre a few years back, it became an absolute sensation, winning heavy acclaim and numerous awards while striking an emotional chord with audiences of all ages. Audiences who missed it the first time, or who want to visit the fascinating events of Lamarie, Wyoming again, can experience it as Laramie Project hits theatres once again, and this time, you can see the extended version, complete with the sequel, Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, to get the full story.
The story is a simple, and relatively well known one. In 1998, a young man by the name of Matthew Shepard was beaten and tied to a fence post just outside of Laramie Wyoming and left to die. The event became a national sensation, and started a wave of national attention towards hate crime legislation, but it left the town of Laramie in a very difficult situation. How, as a town, do you ever shake the stigma of such a horrifying event? It is this question which the fine folks of Tectonic Theatre Project wished to explore when they first visited Laramie to create what would become The Laramie Project. A unique piece of theatre, The Laramie Project takes the interviews performed by the original cast members of Tectonic Theatre and turns them into a series of vignettes, creating a post-modernist experience that blurs the lines between reality and the stage, offering an eye-opening look into a town and its people.
The second piece, Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, takes a look at the town on the 10th anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death, and finds the town changed in many ways. While the first play focuses on how the event changed the town, Ten Years Later seems to focus more on how it changed society itself. There are many more references to gay rights and hate crime legislation, and more a focus as a whole on how homosexuals are treated in both Laramie and the world as a whole. We also find that a wave of nay-sayers has joined the bunch, who believe the horrifying death of Matthew Shepard was nothing more than a drug deal gone by or a theft. It makes for a much more complex watch, but what it gains in content, it sadly loses in emotional punch, but it's still a wonderful piece of theatre, and a great companion and epilogue to the first play.
Both productions feature most of the original cast of the 2002 production, and a solid cast it is. Featuring some of the greatest names in Austin theatre, these actors are able to transform into several different people at the drop of a hat, while at the same time never drifting too far into the realm of disbelief. They are able to keep a sense of verisamilitude almost the entire time, never deviating from the reality of the world. Sure, there are a few cracks in the veneer from time to time, but they're few and far between.
Though the entire cast gives commedable performances, there are a handful of actors who really elevate themselves to an amazing level. Perhaps the most impressive of these is Jaston Williams,who really stings directly to the heart as his various characters. Many people may know Jaston Williams as one half of the Tuna, Texas gang, but here he shows exceptional range as he plays several different people in Laramie, including the town's only gay man and the town's sheriff, digging into the heart of each character to bring out something true. Also showing definite skill is Harvey Guion, who adds some well needed humor in his performances as the local limo driver and the owner of the local bar. He has a definite skill and timing for comedy, and helps to lighten the mood in even the play's darkest moments, without ever seeming hokey or out of place. This doesn't mean, however, that he doesn't know when to play the role straight, as he has many emotional moments. In fact, he brings about one of the play's most emotional moments, as he gives a heartfelt and heart-wrenching monologue as Denis Shepard, Matthew Shepard's father, that explains just what these two men have done to his son.
I could sit here and point out every mistake made in the productions, each moment of missed beat or off-putting moment of misplaced humor, but in the end, none of it matters. When you're standing there at plays end, standing and looking over the crowd, candles in hands, tears in their eyes, you see that this play is above all that. The Laramie Project is the most powerful and important play to hit Austin stages this year, and perhaps in the last few years, and is one experience that every person, not just theatre fan, should make it a point to take. Be sure to grab your tickets now, for it may be another ten years before you see a play this moving.

Major Project:
- My research focuses on the impact of innovation on the ability of firms to create and capture value. It is distinct from other research endeavors in that while they ask, "what is the impact of an innovation on a firm", I ask, "What is the impact of an innovation on a firm's co-opetitors (ecosystem), and how does that, in turn, influence its ability to create and capture value?" The ecosystem of co-opetitors includes not only customers, suppliers, complementors and competitors, but also networks (formal and informal), governments and other institutions. This ecosystem approach to researching innovation helps me explore interesting questions in a phenomenon called crowdsourcing. It also helps me explore the seemingly unrelated question of why Africa has been so poor for so long and what can be done to eradicate poverty there.

A decree of 30 August 1974 authorised development under the supervision of Utkin at Yuzhnoye. The draft project for the new required factory test equipment was completed in December 1975, and that for the 15A11 rocket and its 15B99 payload in December 1977. Trials began in December 1979 and were completed in March 1982. The system entered service in January 1985 but was withdrawn by December 1990. The rocket was most likely based on Yuzhnoye's MR-UR-100, which would account for its rapid withdrawal from service after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

If you think your friend who has just come home from alcohol rehab can hurdle the difficulties in facing a brand new life—think again! A positive outcome is always expected and a fresh start is a tall order.
Somehow, there are things that can get in the way which can hamper the process and this is what makes it hard for the individual. Nevertheless, a friend is a treasure whom you cannot just leave alone to find his way home. You ought to do something like guide him in the earlier stages of recovery to get him back on his feet again.
Here are a few reminders for you to start with:
You should be armed with facts on how to treat recovering alcoholics.
You must know how to handle your friend.
You must have lots of patience.
Among the things that you can do is to offer assistance where you deem it necessary. Your friend would, most likely, cling to you for emotional support as you are one person who knows him well aside from his family; so, take advantage of that. Start slowly by introducing him to different situations. Ask him how he thinks of himself after rehab. If there's a positive answer, then, you can advance and use the following scheme:
Emotional guidance - Behavioral changes happen before and after recovery and this is what you have to take note of. An individual may have developed a different attitude towards life and this is one result of substance addiction that has to be taken up with utmost care. You don't want to end up bickering about a thing which you want done and the other party is not yet ready to take on. Be wary of the words you use as it may earn an adverse reaction. Make him feel that you are worthy of his trust and remind him that what you do is for his sake.
Inject a huge dose of determination - List down your observations on a small notebook once you get home to be able to deal with him better on your next visit. That would be your starting point in helping him live a normal life but at the same time, make him aware that losing you is easy once he deviates from what is expected of him. Make a bet on how fast he can recover. This is a good motivational tactic that friends of long standing have used back in time but still helpful.
Find extra support - If you think that your advice is not enough, or your friend needs to see people who are incredibly good at dealing with this matter, there are many establishments that are effective in solving the remaining issues of sober living. Allow yourself to act as your friend's stepping stone to aid him further in reaching his goal by means of finding a support venue that is appropriate for his case.
The dangers within a regular environment differ from that of a rehabilitation center or a sober living home. There are thousands of concrete evidences of threats against substance abuse and these we see as we travel from and back to our homes. How can we remedy this scenario? We can't.
These are places, ideas and things sold to cater willing preys and wise businessmen obtain profit out of the trade. Therefore, what can you do to counter this? Get hold of your friend and create a stronger bond for him to stay on the better side of the society.

To the Campus Community:
I am pleased to announce that Stony Brook University will adopt Google Apps for Education as its next-generation email and collaboration services platform. This decision is based on a recommendation from the Steering Committee appointed to investigate viable options, led by co-chairs Margaret Schedel, Assistant Professor of Music and Chair of the Senate Committee on Information Technology, and Chris Kielt, Chief Information Officer. The Steering Committee listened to input from students, faculty and staff and presented a compelling argument in favor of Google Apps for Education, which I fully endorse.
During the course of its investigation, the Steering Committee weighed the important issues of security, privacy, compliance with federal laws and regulations, accessibility, usability, training, implementation, support, cost, integration over multiple mobile platforms, alumni email enablement, future innovation, and more. In the end, three key factors swung the decision in favor of Google Apps for Education:
1.) Google conveys a strong, forward-looking strategy in the higher education space. While it is impossible to predict what innovations may become highly valuable to the Stony Brook community, Google has a significant track record at innovation and continues to develop many new and potentially relevant technologies. As one example, Google Apps is already aggressively exploring integration with learning management systems such as Blackboard and Pearson's OpenClass.
2.) User feedback from evaluation sessions, and the preponderance of the Committee, found Google Apps for Education easy to learn and use.
3.) Google Docs provides an outstanding set of online and real-time collaboration tools which will bring powerful new capabilities to members of our campus.
Google Apps for Education will eventually replace Lotus Notes and MySBmail and is expected to be rolled out beginning in July 2012. Lotus Notes will not immediately be retired; there is a concurrent project already underway to move all existing IBM Domino/Lotus Notes applications and databases to other platforms by the end of 2013. Stony Brook University Medical Center employees who recently migrated to Microsoft Exchange will not be asked to move to Google Apps. Additionally, the choice of Google Apps for Education does not require any change in the use of Microsoft Office or SharePoint applications and a unique benefit of Google Apps is that the Microsoft Outlook interface can be used for those who prefer its look and feel. Please visit the project website for more information: http://www.stonybrook.edu/collaboration
I want to thank the Steering Committee for their hard work and diligence in helping to reach this decision for our institution. I am excited to hear how members of our community and colleagues around the world will leverage the power of Google Apps for Education to communicate, share ideas and expand Stony Brook's collective creativity.

Making your JBI Component Cluster aware in Glassfish
By narayanaa on Dec 06, 2006
The approach I took while writing this note is to give an over view of clustering, the components that are involved in making the clustering possible and also discuss the strategies that AppServer took while making its components cluster aware. In my next post I will be peeking into the strategies with respect to the individual JBI components other than the standard ones like HTTP/ORB/JMS.
When we speak of AppServer the following 3 components come to our mind.
Web Server – catering to the http requests
EJB container – catering to the ORB requests and
MQ – catering to JMS
When we observe Glassfish each of the component has its own strategy for clustering and load balancing. Each of the strategy vows its implementation either to its legacy (meaning its already there like in case of http load balancer) or need arising out for that specific protocol in a given scenario. We can observer variance with respect to the same protocol being implemented with different strategies, since not being owners as in case of JMS. This is because of the nature of the protocol. For example, if we take inbound scenario, HTTP gets connections from various sources and there can be symultaneous requests at the same time so it needs in the facade in the load balancer, but in the case of JMS / JDBC etc. the inbound is from one source. Its push from the browser in the former case where as its a pull in the other case (The MDB mechanism or the inbound message processor polls the data).
I tried to explain each of the strategy for the above protocols with respect to Glassfish, and concluded that each protocol must come up with its own strategy and the same can not be generalized for all the protocols because of the sheer variety of them and the need of each protocol. Though we can generalize certain aspects and can bring forth the LCM of all the protocols at a protocol agnostic way the time and effort might not match the same.
I also tried to discuss different strategies that we can adopt for making the components cluster aware and having the load balancing and failover facilities in a generic way. I also tried to explore the API so that the BC while writing the cluster aware code can get the details and info required of the cluster.
Lets Look at the Clustering environment of the AppServer first.
Resources: Each Resource accessed by applications reference external resources such as JDBC database resources and their associated connection pools, CMP persistence managers, JMS resources, java mail resources, custom JNDI resources, and connector resources. Like an application, each resource has a JNDI name which is unique across the domain. An un-clustered server instance or cluster can reference zero or more resources, and a resource can be staged in which case it is referenced by no server instances.
How does AppServer handle Clustering and Load Balancing?
This understanding is needed so that we can be aware of how things happen at the
AppServer side and how can they be extrapolated in the JBI environment.
For AppServer there are 2 perspectives with respect to clustering:
Administrative -- from this stand point cluster is a bunch of
homogeneous machines/Server Instances for the DAS
Per Instance – this is for individual instance need.
- Load balancer
- Route the request. – this mechanism works like having context root – port mapping which helps in routing the request.
- Maintaining sticky session -- the LB acts as façade for HTTP requests that are coming in and maintains a session store in HADB for performance reasons and for optimization.
Lets look at IIOP/ORB:
1. Sun's own MQ: In this case, when the MDB end point gets activated, it is set with the cluster aware setting (ClusterName+InstanceName+MDBName). This actually helps as a hook to the instance on which the MDB is listening for the JMS. This helps the MDB maintains the stickiness by way of maintaining Local Delivery Profile (LDP).
How are the transactions handled?
Every server instance is having its own Transaction Manager. This TM actually maintains the list of transactions that are handled. It also maintains the log that is pertaining to the transaction. If an application instance is killed during the transaction the TM pertaining to that server instance will take care of that transaction. Since transactions are atomic in nature the resource recovery (commit/rollback) would not be effected. There would not be a case where in a transaction is started by one instance and had to be dealt by other instance.
What modules are available for supporting Clustering in AppServer?
1. Group Management Service (GMS): GMS is an independent software module, from Project Shoal (https://shoal.dev.java.net), which may be embedded and started by processes that require runtime cluster communications and group management services such as:
1. Static Group Membership Composition change notifications :
a. Member Added Notification
b. Member Removed Notification
2. Dynamic Group Membership Composition change notifications :
a. Join Notifications
b. Failure Suspicion Notifications
c. Failure Notifications
d. Planned Shutdown Notifications
3. Recovery Oriented Support Services:
a. Delegate Recovery Instance Selection and notification
b. Protecting recovery operations through failure fencing
4. Messaging Service API for Group and Member-to-Member messaging
5. Distributed Caching of lightweight state and recovery states
- Failure Notifications
- Recovery member selection and corresponding notifications
- Failure Fencing
- Member Joins and Planned Shutdown Notifications
- Support for administrative configurations
- Group, One-to-Many and One-To-One Messaging
- A Distributed State Cache implementation to store data in a shared cache that lives in each instance's GMS module.
GMS provides a simple, easy-to-use API to its clients for accessing and consuming its functionalities. GMS provides a Group Communication Service Provider Interface for group communications provider technologies to be integrated. In our implementation, we use a Service Provider implementation based on JXTA peer-to-peer technology to construct the desired group communications infrastructure.

We have just moved to the area and were recommended Fields Vets by a neighbour. Our dog was sick and needed attention so we took him to Fields Vets. Stuart gave him an all over check up, listened intently to the history that I gave then took a full set of bloods. I was deeply concerned that my dog would be more upset being taken away from me, to have the bloods done, but he was only in the next room and never made a sound whilst Stuart and his Nurse took the blood.
Since then, they have undertaken further tests and ruled out many illnesses, confirming the diagnosis that I had thought my dog was suffering from.
An offer that Fields Vets are running is a full consultation, check up, full blood and urine tests for any dog over 8 years old for only Ã�â��Ã�£45. This was a great price for the great service provided. The vet's called a few days later, to check up on my dog.
I am more than happy to recommend this vets practice to anyone for their pets.
Thank you Fields Vets.

No official Android 4.0 ICS for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 yet but the Korean tech giant has decided to roll out a new Gingerbread for its first Galaxy smartphone: XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack. This new firmware comes with a lot of great features and technical improvements like Face Unlock, built-in TouchWiz 4, ICS Lockscreen, a new kernel with better RAM (364), Photo Editor, faster Auto-Rotation, an improved Camera interface and the possibility to capture photos when shooting videos, better overall speed, better GPU performance and updates to some Google Apps.
Samsung promised that XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack will be available via Kies as soon as possible therefore we have no specific launch date. From experience, "soon" for Samsung might mean in a week or close to November, especially if you're not leaving in Europe or Korea. Do not despair though, we will show you in in the below article how to download and install XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack on your Galaxy S I9000 without Kies and using Odin. The procedure is simple but you have to make sure you follow it step by step.
What you need to know and do before downloading and installing the XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack on your Samsung Galaxy S I9000:
- note that onebitzero.com will not be held responsible for any damage you might do to your device while and after you install XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack on your Samsung Galaxy S I9000. Installing a new firmware on an Android device via Odin requires caution, so please continue at your own risk!
- charge the battery of your Galaxy S GT I9000 to 100%, to be on the safe side.
- back-up all relevant data like messages, contacts, multimedia files and internet settings on your device. As XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack will not be installed via Kies, you need to back up your data using 3rd party apps from Google Play.
- if you are not on Gingerbread anymore and you're using a custom ROM you need to:
- turn off your device and boot into recovery mode (hold the Volume UP + Menu buttons down and push the Power key)
- once in Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" > "Yes". Then, select "wipe cache partition" and "reboot reboot system now".
- important: if you're using the Dalvik virtual machine, you also need to enter into Advanced Settings in Recovery mode and clear the Dalvik Cache. Also you need to disable the Voodoo Lag Fix if you have been using it.
How to install XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000, step by step tutorial:
- Download [link] XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack to your PC.
- You'll get a zip file, extract it on your PC.
- Once the zip file is extracted, open Odin.
- Turn Off the Galaxy S I9000 and reboot it in Download mode. In order to reboot in Download mode, you need to push the Volume Down + Menu button down, and, at the same time, press the Power button. You'll know that you booted in Download mode if the first screen you see is the hard working green android. If you land in normal mode and you get the S logo, you need to redo step 4.
- In Download Mode, connect your Galaxy S to the PC via the USB cable. Check ODIN and you should be able to see the ID:COM section turning yellow and a message in the Message area: "Added!!". If you don't get these two flags it means that ODIN cannot connect to your device and you need to install the latest USB drivers on your PC.
- In ODIN, click on "PDA" button, navigate to "JW4_JW4_JW4.tar" (which is in the archive you unzipped at step 2) and select it.
- Click on "Start" and ODIN will work its magic and install XXJW4 2.3.6 Value Pack on your Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

The Sun is opposing Neptune and this transit becomes exact August 29, at 10:33 A.M., EST.
Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion and with this transit things are not always as they may appear. This is basically a psychological transit and you may feel tired, lethargic or discouraged.
Miscommunication can be expected and all may not be as it appears, and probably isn't, especially if this is aspecting your personal natal chart. People may seem fragile emotionally or you may feel this way, and Neptune is not about strong ego's, rather it is an ego-less planet.
If your situation appears negative it is important to remember that with Neptune all may not be as it appears at the time, even though you may be convinced it does. On occasion things can be revealed but it is best to wait and see what else may be revealed over the next few days before assuming you have all the facts.
Creativity may be enhanced along with psychic ability and awareness. Positive things to do can include, helping those less fortunate, creative projects, readings and rest and relaxation.
You will be affected more so if you have planets at 6-9 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius and especially if your Neptune is at this degree.
After this transit passes, there are no major aspects over the weekend, so stress should lighten up. Enjoy your weekend.

The 19th annual Manning Passing Academy comes to a close Sunday, and among the college counselors for the 1,200 high school campers was Oregon rising redshirt junior quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Mariota became Oregon's first two-time all-conference quarterback in 27 years in 2013 when he set a new single-season school record with 4,380 yards of total offense. The only drawback to his season was an October knee injury after which the Ducks lost two of three games.
So if Mariota can stay healthy this season, he could easily be a Heisman Trophy contender and lead Oregon on a national title hunt. Below, read what Mariota had to say at the weekend's media session in Thibodaux:
Q: What is it like to be a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy for the first time?
Mariota: "It was definitely an honor to be a part of this. It's awesome to work with the kids and share a little knowledge and hopefully help them with their game. That's the most important part is just to help the kids out. I do my best to hopefully coach them up in some things - I do a lot of zone-read stuff."
Q: Tell me about your relationship with current Southeastern senior quarterback and former Oregon player Bryan Bennett.
Mariota: "For me, I was very blessed to have him. He taught me a lot of things about the offense and motivated me to be the player I am today. He's done an awesome job for me, and I wish him nothing but the best."
Q: What are you most looking forward to about the 2014 season?
Mariota: "It's a new year, I get to go out there and play with the guys for another one. I'm just excited to get out there and get going again."
Q: Have you discussed Heisman Trophy hype with (reigning winner) Jameis Winston (who was also a Manning Passing Academy counselor)?
Mariota: "Not really. For me, I don't really pay attention to that stuff. That's outside of my control. I just try to focus on what I can do."

Yeah, I don't know why they aren't as common in.. other places. Everybody in Norway uses debit cards. Only old people carry cash these days.
Yeah, I don't know why they aren't as common in.. other places. Everybody in Norway uses debit cards. Only old people carry cash these days.
I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't.
Can't steal my bank account info if I use cash though. Or at least.. not nearly as easily.
Bank's have insurance, so that's not really a problem. And it doesn't really happen here anyway.
What am I supposed to do with your account number? Deposit money? The only credible threat are scanners, and it's up to you to think about what you are doing.
I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't.
WARNING: This person will almost CERTAINLY inadvertently derail any conversation he participates in.
Commissar Pancakes' Channel of Random Blather:
Credit cards aren't the same as debit cards, though. Debit cards are basically just electronic money and all banks have some pretty serious fraud protection stuff in place so even if people do take your details, the bank takes the hit instead.
Credit cards are useful, but I don't own one. Not a fan of spending money I don't have.
Yup, don't confuse credit with debit. Debit cards spends your own money, from your own account. Some can be overdrawn, that depends on your bank. You usually pay a small (insignifcant) something for using the card in the shop, and a larger amount for withdrawing cash at an ATM/Cashpoint.
I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't.
Meh I just use cash mostly - can't spend what I don't have in the wallet.
The UK is an unusual case in that current accounts are usually free - if you have a debit card you don't pay anything extra for using it to buy things in shops, and nor is there any fees for withdrawing money from the majority of ATMs. Going overdrawn is expensive though.
Think it's mostly free in Sweden too (I dunno if smaller shops charge a fee for paying with card still). on the other hand the banks charge a yearly fee for haveing the card, instead on each transaction.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFun <- The greatest rule of all
As a note for Credit Cards, set up a direct debit to pay them fully off monthly: Hey presto, delayed Debit Card with bonus added security.
And the banks hate you

MEMS Electronic-Photonic Heterogeneous Integration (MEPHI) FMCW LADAR (EPHI)
Ming C. Wu, Constance Chang-Hasnain, Eli Yablonovitch, Bernhard Boser, James Ferrara, Li Zhu, Yi Rao, Niels Quack1, Sangyoon Han, Christopher Lalau Keraly and Simone Gambini2
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
High performance optoelectronic systems, e.g. ultra low-noise lasers and optoelectronic signal sources, are employed in numerous applications such as fiber optic communications, high-precision timing references, LADAR, imaging arrays, etc. Current state-of-the-art ultra-low noise lasers and optoelectronic signal sources use macro-scale photonics for mechanical and thermal noise suppression, and off-chip electronics for feedback control. The benchtop or rack mount component-level assembly of these sources limits photonic coupling efficiency as well as the speed of electronic feedback, and also adds size and weight to the system. Integration of these components in a chip-scale form factor could greatly mitigate these limitations. While silicon is an attractive integration platform due to its capabilities in both electronics and photonics, the indirect bandgap of silicon precludes its use for efficient optical emission. One possible approach to enable high performance optoelectronics on low-cost silicon platform is to heterogeneously integrate III-V photonics with silicon to include efficient III-V optical emitters and other photonic devices with the silicon electronic and photonic platform. E-PHI seeks to develop the necessary technologies, architectures and design innovations to enable novel chip-scale electronic-photonic/mixed-signal integrated circuits on a common silicon substrate. It is envisioned that E-PHI technology will enable a wide range of novel chip-scale optoelectronic microsystems, including coherent optical systems for sensing (LADAR) and communications, optical arbitrary waveform generators and multi-wavelength imagers with integrated image processing and readout circuitry. To validate the feasibility and viability of electronic-photonic heterogeneous integration technology, E-PHI aims to demonstrate novel high-performance heterogeneous electronic-photonic integrated microsystems. It is anticipated that these E-PHI demonstrator microsystems will provide considerable performance improvement and size reduction versus current, state-of-the-art technologies. E-PHI efforts began in November, 2011. Major teams currently participating in E-PHI are led by the following organizations: Aurrion, Inc. (Goleta, CA) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA) University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley, CA) University of California, San Diego (La Jolla, CA) [1]

In our panel data we have a dummy variable that has a lot of missing values (approximately 60% of the values missing, the other 40% have the value 0 or 1). It's no problem to import these data (we import them from excel) but once they are imported, EViews seems to indicate that these values are not-numeric (with an 'abc'-logo before the variable).
I tried to import these data from excel and indicating that they were numbers (not characters) but then all values are displayed as NA.
When trying to do a regression with this dummy it says 'insufficient observations'.
We have another dummy variable in the model which has no missing values and with no problems when doing a regression. Is our problem that our dummy has missing values and that it's not allowed? This dummy is a dummy for management capabilities and is the result of firms' sales/#employees being larger (value 1) or smaller (0) than the average. But, for a lot of firms there is no information on the number of employees so it's not possible to give a value.
If this is our problem, is there a way to circumvent it?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Standaert

The WWE won't be the only show in town on "Wrestelemania 30" weekend in New Orleans, as other promotions such as Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate USA will be holding shows down there as well. According to PWInsider.com on March 31, Dragon Gate USA announced the return of some major stars for their shows.
The most recent news is that Low Ki will wrestle on both of their shows this weekend. Low Ki, who announced his retirement from professional wrestling last year to focus more attention on his career as a voice over actor, will return and battle former WWE star Trent Baretta on Friday and then take on the Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano on Saturday.
There will also be a special appearance by TNA Impact Wrestling tag team Bad Influence. Since both Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are still under contract with TNA Impact Wrestling, they can not appear on the Internet pay-per-view events, but they will still wrestle on the show for the live crowd in a match against one of the tag teams competing in the six-man tag team tournament on Saturday.
Also competing on the Dragon Gate USA weekend shows are EVOLVE Champion and former WWE star Chris Hero, former ECW star Masato Tanaka, CHIKARA stars Fire Ant and Green Ant, and many more.
The Dragon Fate USA events will take place on April 4 and April 5 and will be available on Internet pay-per-view through WWNLive.com.

Teams representing the 101 Bar and Grill and Vista Pub continued their winning ways on Thursday in Brookings-Harbor Recreational Softball League play.
Vista Pub's offense scored often and early as they found a groove against Laflor for a 30-5 win.
Jonathan Kennedy had a highlight reel three-run home run to deep left centerfield to put the icing on the cake late in the game.
"He's awesome," said Vista Pub pitcher Chuck Bond. "We have two or three guys that can do that anytime they get up to bat."
Bond, who pitched a stellar game, was able to work out of several jams.
"It wasn't as easy as it looks. That plate gets really small," said Bond. "With a three ball count, the plate looks like the size of a dime. It's nice they stuck with me and we got the win."
The 101 team, which defeated Vista Pub in a game last week, won via forfeit over team KMJ, who were unable to field a full team.

This Saturday, the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA) will present the exhibition Initial Public Offering. It is a selection of works from the museum's permanent collection, some of which are making their debut inside the galleries, yet all celebrate Silicon Valley's role in being the capital of both innovation (having spawned Google and Twitter), and "initial public offerings" (or IPO), signaling opportunities for future growth and expansion.
Among the works that will be featured for the first time at SJMA, is an expansive installation of The International Orange Commemorative Store (A Proposition), which was originally commissioned by the FOR-SITE Foundation for the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, and features a faux store complete with various souvenir gift shop finds. Other works in this exhibition includes Tim Hawkinson's Scout (2006-2007), a cardboard and urethane foam sculpture that gives an humorist take on the human figure (and can be seen of SJMA's website at www.sjma.org), and a robotic sculpture from Alan Rath titled Absolutely (2012), which that stands fifteen feet tall and is activated by movement and heat, and coming alive with a seemingly improvisational dance.
Other artists in this exhibition included Jim Barsness, Judy Pfaff, and Stephanie Syjuco. Visitors are also encourage to leave his or her thoughts on this exhibition, as well as responses, and photos of works that were found either interesting, exciting, or even confusing. Comments and images can be downloaded on SJMA's social media handles on Facebook (SanJoseMuseumofArt), Twitter (@sjmusart), and Instagram(@seewhatyouthink), which will then be streamed on a live display in the galleries. Initial Public Offerings is on view until August 24th.

I (thou) Ring ($150) is seriously one of the coolest pieces of jewelry. Guys, pay attention. Give the ultimate romantic gesture with a ring that holds your love letter or vows. Great for anniversaries, weddings, or "just cause", once you purchase, the seller contacts you about the material you'd like printed on the paper insert. Jewelry she won't return... what a concept!
I don't know if your mention did them in but the sense of fashion site seriously doesn't work - I couldn't even click on 'contact' to tell them about it!
Thank you for the sweet words. Sense of Fashion has had some glitches in the past, but we are currently receiving messages. If you have any questions regarding this ring, you may email me directly.

|Was It Necessary for Apple to Kowtow to China?
By Sterling Wong APR 05, 2013 3:06 PM
Nokia, Nestle, and Disney also make the news.
The Chinese version of the film will also feature a special appearance of China's top actress, Fan Bingbing, and will offer specially prepared bonus footage made exclusively for the Chinese audience. Marvel Studios' experience working on this film with Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi and in shooting in China has been very positive and has created a springboard for future collaboration with China's talented stars and its growing film and television industry.With China now the second-biggest box office market in the world and predicted to overtake the US in the next 10 years, expect many more of such customized movies in the years to come.
