The 4-Variable IQ Test
Their result for The 4-Variable IQ Test ...
20% interpersonal, 30% visual, 20% verbal and 30% mathematical!
Your strongest type of intelligence is Visual. You thrive on spatial thinking, shapes, patterns, and form. You're unlikely to be blind. You can probably think in 3D very easily. You are very likely to be attractive, based on only my most rudimentary anecdotal evidence. And you are likely to appreciate a good body in a lover.
Your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.
Your brain is roughly:
20% Interpersonal
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice to the world.
1. Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 20%.
2. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 25%.
3. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 50%.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 20% on interpersonal, higher than 41% of your peers.
They scored 30% on visual, higher than 55% of your peers.
They scored 20% on verbal, higher than 42% of your peers.
They scored 30% on mathematical, higher than 55% of your peers.

By John A. Braden
Judging by the absence of eyeglasses in photographs of Civil War troops, many menwho could have used glasses went without. Perhaps the soldier considered them tooexpensive, or didnt know his eyesight was bad., or considered eyeglasses too much of abother to wear in the field. At any rate, if your eyesight is bad, one authentic solution is tosimply go without.
But if you are nearsighted and want to see whats going on at a reenactment, youllwant to wear something to correct your vision.
Contact lenses are one possibility. However, the daily care required for them,together with the dirt and smoke encountered at reenactments, may render themunsuitable.
Since modern eyeglasses can ruin an otherwise authentic appearance, in most cases apair of authentic eyeglasses is the solution.
But how can you tell what is authentic? Some people think that any old pair f wireframes is sufficient. But if youre going to spend the bucks on some prescription glasses,you may as well do it right and get some authentic ones.
So here are some things to look out for.
Round frames had gone out of style by the end of the Revolution, to be replaced byrectangular frames (Fig. A). In turn, the rectangular frames lost out to oval frames (Fig.B) around 1860. Another style that came on the scene during the Civil War was thecoffin-shaped frame (Fig. C).
These are, of course, only general guidelines. Thus, though not prevalent, some roundframes were made during the Civil War. Likewise, although the rectangular frames wentout of style by 1860, some people would have continued to wear such frames were by farthe most prevalent, those wanting to represent the typical eyeglass wearer will choose theoval frames.
These are, of course, only general guidelines. Thus, though not prevalent, some roundframes were made during the Civil War. Likewise, although the rectangular frames wentout of style by 1860, some people would have continued to wear such frames into theCivil War. However, since the oval frames were by far the most prevalent, those wantingto represent the typical eyeglass wearer will choose the oval frames.
Another advantage of oval frames is that they remained popular until the twentiethcentury. this means that it will be easier to find examples of such frames in antique shops.
All styles of frames tended to be much smaller than modern frames (though very smallframes indicate reading glasses). However, the smaller frames did not restrict ones viewas much as you might think because the frames were worn close to the eyes.
As for material, gold or blued steel were most common.
The nosepiece rested directly on the bridge of the nose: nosepads were unknown. Twoshapes were common to American-made glasses: the "yoke" type (Fig. D) and the "C"type (Fig. E). The yoke type gave way to the C type around 1860.
Most of the antique glass you are likely to find will have a nosepiece that is bentforward and flattened to follow the contour of the nose better (Fig. F). This type ofnosepiece indicates that the glasses were made after the Civil War. Nosepieces madebefore and during the Civil War were simpler, with the nosepiece even with the frames,and round in cross-section (Fig. G).
Most bows were straight (not curving over the ears) with a loop at the end, through whicha string or ribbon could be passed to secure the glasses to the head (Fig. H). Other bowsdid wrap around the ears (Fig. I). Though the wraparounds were less prevalent, they weremore practical for reenactors, since they were less likely to fall off.
Figure J shows what a typical pair of glasses would have looked like in the 1860s. FigureK shows a typical pair of 1850s glasses, which would also be authentic for Civil WarReenactors.
Now that you know what youre looking for, you need to know where to look. Since thestyle of frames we are talking about are generally not sold by modern opticians, youllhave to check out antique stores, flea markets, or sutlers. You should be able to get a pairof period frames for between $6 and $12.
Once you get some frames that fit, take them to an optometric establishment to havelenses made to your prescription. You might have to try more than one place to find onethat will fit lenses to such unusual frames. Some places might charge extra to fit suchlenses, but because the frames are cheaper than modern frames, youll still end up payingless then you would for a modern pair of glasses.
If your search is unsuccessful, Tom McEvoy (one of Thomas Mudsills) can makeglasses to your prescription at a reasonable price. You can contact him at his office at 111North Addison Avenue, Elmhurst, IL 60126 (phone 312-832-2115).

WP Nivo Slider display the image title as caption.
Is there a way of using the post title as caption? I tried to use attributes in the_post_thumbnail(), but it requires me to override the image size and that just broke the plugin.
The code I tried:
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(w,h), array ('title' => trim(strip_tags( $attachment->post_title )),); ?>

Thanks for the help with this awesome plugin!

In the Fall of 2015, Will Laing took over leadership of the Middle School Ministry and will be focused on reworking our ministry to middle school students. The ministry concentrating on making Wednesday nights a great experience for middle schoolers.
We're excited about building our Middle School Ministry with you. Come out and be part of the "process"!
We've received positive feedback on our trial run of Wednesday night meetings. One parent wrote in:
"… a quick note to let you know how thankful I am for the Wednesday night Middle School Bible study. My son and his friend have been attending regularly since the ministry started, and I have seen great growth in the group. I attend with my son and have gotten a chance to see how the study has progressed... I just wanted to let you know that having this once-a-week study for both the middle schoolers and the high schoolers has been very fruitful."
See you next Wednesday night!

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Art dealer Sal Abbinanti has unveiled two new Alex Ross lithographs that will be available next month at Comic-Con International.
Ross, who's been reaching back into Marvel history for a series of variant covers celebrating the publisher's 75th anniversary, here depicts the 1970s X-Men lineup and a fairly timeless Captain America. The renowned artist recently tackled both subjects in a pair of variants, capturing Xavier's first students in a later era.
"I recognized with this opportunity that I could do that original group as they were costumed when Neal Adams drew them," Ross explained to Comic Book Resources. "It was more fun than I'd ever expected, and it allowed me to scratch an itch I never did before. For all the times I've drawn them, I'd never explored that period. I was either doing their earlier costumes or the All-New, All-Different X-Men."
Comic-Con International will be held July 24-27 in San Diego.
Cuz it is so rare that Alex Ross paints anything that isn't originally from the Silver Age, it's a real treat to see him paint something different, like the All-New X-Men line up. I wish I could see him do more modern interpretations of characters, like that one Guardians of the Galaxy cover.
Generic poses, as usual.
Alex Ross rules!
Imagine if he did a painted X-Men miniseries! That would sell off the charts numbers man!
Anything this man paints is golden.
Love that Cap. He looks like someone you don't want to mess with!
I used to love Alex Ross but he's a really boring artist
Why does anyone get excited for Alex Ross' work?
Everything is so static and boring, and all looks so similar.
Maybe because he is the best in this genre of illustration? Not everyone is into the Powerpuff Girls, you know.
so nice to see Cap without the stupid helmet, nose guard, and chin strap
As much as I haven't been enjoying the ongoings lately, I'd love to see Alex Ross paint the Wolverine side of the Schism, aka the "real" X-Men. His interpretations of modern Wolverine, Storm, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Rogue, Psylocke, Gambit and Rachel would be epic.
Not much for Ross' art myself, but his cap is really, really good. I could do without the bullets deflecting off the shield, but that's a fine piece he's made.
I love Alex Ross's art, but what kind of shirt is Cyclops wearing that digs into the crevices between his pectorals?
The Captain America is classic Ross. But something just looks off about that X-Men pic. Colossus has the Ross shine, and Wolverine looks par, but Storm looks more, I don't know, Hildebrant-ish? Wth is Cyclops wearing? And Nightcrawler is just weird.
I love Ross' stuff, but the X-Men pic looks weird. Cyke's chest looks weird (that's probably the tightest shirt I've ever seen) and Jean's arm looks weird. I was actually looking for Sunfire at first. Also, Storm's face looks under-detailed.
Other than that, though, looks great, especially Cap.
That X-Men pic is actually really poor for Alex Ross standards. it just looks so dated now!
Is it just me, or does the X-Men picture look out of focus?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You'll need to use a DOS boot disk or CD with DOS CD-ROM drivers to boot the virtual machine, then run setup from the Windows 95 CD. You can just mount the boot floppy/CD image in a virtual floppy/CD drive in the VM, and configure a separate virtual CD drive for the Win95 install CD. In your case, configure the second virtual drive access your host machine's CD-ROM drive since you're trying to install from physical media and not an image.
As Rob said, you will need a Dos Boot disk.
An alternative is that if this is a bootable Windows disk, simply mount the disk as the virtual cd drive and attempt to boot from it/install like normal.
It does not boot because:
1) Filesystem is probably not FAT16
2) Boot sector does not contain anchor code for IO.SYS
3) Reference to IO.SYS is not located in the first sector of root directory
I.e. you need to boot from DOS boot disk, make FDISK /MBR, FDISK and make sure C: is active, then SYS C: ; also make sure disk C: is FAT16 and starts at sector 63 (not 2^n, as modern FDISK would have create it).

IE6 Only BorderLayout Collapse and CheckBoxListView - unchecking checked items
This problem only occurs on IE6 !
I have a CheckboxListView inside a north region of a border layout.
When I check an item in the list view and then collapse the region either in code or via a collapse button the checked item is cleared.
It does not matter which item is checked.
Please can you suggest a work around until the bug is fixed or you decide that given it is IE6 you won't be fixing it.

I already have a patch pending for this, i will reply here again once it is in SVN.

Hi. An option "Force Pinterest button sniffing all images of the page?" doesnt work correctly. Script skip an product thumbnail image. And share info doesnt contain title and description too. Ho to fix this? Where can i put a product meta (as src image link, title and description) to make it usefull for your plugin?. I use wp +woocommerce(e shop plugin) +wootique theme.
You can try share button here: http://www.leyba.by/shop/qwe-copy-2/

Messy sex party fans, get ready for another hot fresh load of orgy action as Mad Sex Party brings you two huge out-of-control ragers, with loads of hot fucking action featuring some of the hottest Hungarian babes with the tightest bods and the biggest tits, fucking like there's no tomorrow!
On first glance this import fits the norm for a typical festive party: champagne, confetti, party favors and the like keep this group of handsome men and stunning women hoppin'. Things then get really loose and dicks suddenly appear—and disappear down throats, including some deep throat, and a wild-ass orgy ensues. This could easily be a swinger's party with "anything goes" being the apparent rule of the event.
The next segment is a creative effort, with a painting party using an entire white room as a canvass—yet their bodies get the bulk of the paint, and as those bodies entwine, a colorful mass of flesh results. Interestingly enough, they seem not to mind when the paint gets into places and crevasses normally avoided during intimate contact. Wild!

Anyone who has played video games in the last twenty years should be aware of the name 'Bomberman'. Anyone who has experienced any of its classic incarnations will have instant recollections of frantically hiding from blasts of flame rushing by only a few pixels from your character, or the sheer ecstasy of trapping your friend between a wall and your bomb to slay him and finally claim victory.
Bomberman has had a home on nearly every gaming system ever made as well as incarnations on some systems not designed for games, such as graphing calculators. It runs to a simple formula for a game, which is why it's held up so well over the years: Four (or in later games, five) bombermen start in the extremities of a square room made up of destructible and/or indestructible blocks. Each carries bombs which can be dropped at will to both destroy blocks to gain a possible powerup and to destroy one of the opposing bombermen. When bombs explode, they release a blast of flame which travels in the cardinal directions until it is stopped by a block. The last bomberman left standing is declared the winner, and a new round begins.
Bomberman Hardball takes on some new directions, by not only extending the original Battle Mode but also by adding Golf, Tennis and Baseball Modes as well as adding a special Life Mode. There's also the ability to customise your Bomberman's appearance with over two hundred clothing options to choose from, bought with coins earned from playing games.
Battle Mode comes in four distinct flavours, each with differing rules. Normal Battle has the familiar last-man-standing game play. In Point Battle you are awarded points for kills and deducted points for self-kills, and the player with the most points at the end of the timed round is declared victor. Star Battle has special star pickups available under destructible blocks, and any player killed will drop a proportion of their collected stars over the stage before respawning, with the victor being whoever has the most stars at the conclusion of the time period. Crown battle has all the bombermen starting on the left of the stage and endeavouring to be the first to pick up the crown on the right and claim victory, while the lack of respawning after death adds to the pressure of starting within blast distance of each other. Additionally there is a Random Mode which will choose random rules, maps and modes for each round in a match, for which the game programmers deserve extra Empathy Credits in the afterlife.
As with all good Bomberman games there are a whole host of powerups available. These can be found under destroyed blocks and can do anything from increase the blast strength of your bomb, increase the number of bombs you can drop at once or even grant you the ability to punch through blocks or jump over them. There are also a few blocks with negative consequences, such as reducing your bomb blast or slowing you down. However, there are two other ways to gain powerups in Bomberman Hardball; you can choose to have 'Slots' before each round, in which each player is granted three items via slot machines or you can use the handicap menu to manually give items to certain players. This can be handy for inducting a new player into the Bomberman legacy or making them continue despite continuing losses and an overdue University assignment. For most purposes though, powerups remain as they always have in Bomberman games. An exciting addition is the 'Knack' option, where dead bombermen respawn outside the arena with the ability to lob bombs at the players still battling for the win, but lose any powerups they had while they were still clamouring for victory.
Golf Mode is fairly typical of a console golf game. It mainly consists of club selection, aiming, pressing X when your power marker is at the required position and pressing X again at the correct point to cleanly strike the ball. Repeat until ball is in hole. Repeat until all holes are completed. You have the choice of playing a full round, front or back nine holes, a random selection of three holes or the individual hole of your choice on one of four courses in a standard Stroke game where the player with the fewest shots at the end wins or a Match game where the player with the most holes won takes victory. There is also a Tour Mode where you compete over all four courses for victory, but this is only available for one player. The holes are all cleanly-designed, and the controls aren't too bad. It stands up well with human players, but the inability to skip the computer's turns makes it frustrating and time-consuming to play against the AI.
Tennis Mode is surprisingly very enjoyable. It feels a little like Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 in its look, execution and button assignment, but never loses its Bomberman charm. As in Golf Mode it's available in a single player Tour Mode as well as a multiplayer Exhibition mode. There's a choice of Singles or Doubles rules, as well the ability to choose the number of sets per game (1, 3 or 5) and games per set (2, 6). There's also a choice of hard, grass or clay courts. The game play itself is fast-paced and actually thoroughly enjoyable, especially in a four player doubles match. The AI also provides a decent challenge if you don't have a multitap or enough friends to fill a match.
Baseball mode is very in-depth for what could be called a secondary mode. Full team substitution control as well as a full array of automation choices for your team helps to provide the exact kind of experience you want. I'm not a fan of baseball, and I was very discouraged by the fact you have to play the full nine innings instead of being able to experience small portions like you can with Golf and Tennis but I found myself enjoying the game at around the third innings and played the full game despite losing 10-2. The method for controlling players on the bases gets confusing, and I still haven't garnered any sort of mastery of batting or pitching, but it's still an enjoyable play if I have the time to dedicate to it.
Life Mode is an interesting and somewhat singular addition to the Bomberman universe. It's basically a minimally featured Tamagotchi-esque mode where you can watch the AI play demo games of the other four modes, change game options, view the time/date or look at a calendar, use coins gained from the other modes to buy clothes and apply those clothes and a name to your bomberman. It provides no real use other than editing and previewing your custom bomberman before using it in Battle (and only Battle) Mode but you can gain coins by leaving it in Life Mode for a while.
So that's the basic summary over. Let's move onto scores.
Graphics: 9/10
Three dimensional Bomberman wasn't really what I wanted out of a PS2 game in the series. I still enjoy the ageless 2D style of the NES and SNES incarnations, and was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of Battle Mode in Bomberman Hardball. It's a three dimensional graphics engine, but it's a fixed top-down camera and still grants a faithful experience to the game. The other modes seem to use the same graphics engine to a much greater ability. The sweeping holes in golf are perfectly rendered in bright happy cartoon-style landscapes, with never the merest hint of a slowdown.
Sound: 8/10
It's Bomberman; there should be explosions, screaming and above all the sound of your friends screaming in frustration as your trap them in a corner staring at the rapidly-burning fuse of your bomb. There's music - and it's cute - but you'll be focussing on the game play more than the tunes.
Game play (Battle Mode): 10/10
Battle Mode has been expertly crafted for the PS2 to maintain the traits that has made Bomberman such a successful franchise. On top of this are several additional modes, as well as a replay-saving option to save classic matches for later viewing. The options available for manipulation are vast enough that you should be able to rope anyone into a quick battle ("Come on… I'll start you off with extra bombs!") for a quick self-esteem boost and an inevitable rematch.
Game play (Golf/Tennis/Baseball Modes): 7/10
The other three play modes are excellent games, but only in combination with each other. The Golf game is repetitive without much course variety, the tennis mode is difficult to consistently and effectively aim your shots in, and the baseball mode provides no relief in terms of match length. These are all gripes that are evident, but clouded by the variety of the other modes available. These faults are mainly forgiven by the fact that Battle Mode should be your main emphasis in any Bomberman game, and anything else is a gift.
Bomberman's legacy will never end. Wherever you have three friends, four controllers and a system with Bomberman then you have a party that will end in a combination of tears, laughter and exhaustion. The additions to Battle Mode alone are enough to provide an amazing amount of variety to such a simple concept, and the other modes provide welcome alternatives if for some reason you get sick of battling. The customisation features also add to the lifespan of the game. With over two hundred unlockable items at one hundred coins each, and ten coins per game rewarded in Battle Mode you'll be playing a while to get the full range of clothing choices for your colour bomberman. All in all, Bomberman should live forever

Sliding Revenues
May 4, 2016
Apple's earnings disappointment thudded into view last week in the middle of briefings at Oracle's Modern Marketing Experience conference.

You're about to read one of my favorite pieces to write each year -- and one of the most difficult.
Before elaborating on those related thoughts, allow me to slice down an adjacent fairway for a minute. I've long contemplated -- with colleagues, with golf fans and (too often) by myself late at night -- why a sport that millions of people play and the world's most famous athlete calls his profession isn't more popular with the casual crowds. And I've found the answer -- or at least one of the answers: It's neither a gambling nor fantasy-friendly sport.
Sure, diehards can throw a few quid on, say, Ryan Palmer at the Ginn sur Mer Classic, but those who are that clairvoyant should already be earning a steady income predicting things like the end of civilization as we know it, not golf results. And yes, anyone can throw a few grinders into a four-man fantasy lineup in January, but it won't exactly quench anyone's thirst for the NFL fantasy season (which is a mere eight months away, so start getting your draft board in order).
Let's face it: Everyone and their mothers will tune in for the Masters each April, but without a personal, vested interest in a given event, it's difficult for fans to remain loyal viewers during a season that is conspicuously endless. And don't expect that to change anytime soon, for the sole reason that it's just too damn impossible to predict the outcomes of golf tournaments.
All of which brings us back to this column, in which I annually choose 18 players to make "The Leap" in a certain category. This isn't a list of the best, the most talented or the most popular players; that would be too easy. Nor is it a rundown of unknown players who might someday become household names; that would be too hard. Instead, The Leap examines which players can reach the next level this season and transform their games into bigger, better results.
Last year's biggest leapers were Anthony Kim, who went from a guy with potential to a two-time tourney champ and Ryder Cup hero, and Yani Tseng, who became the youngest winner of a women's major since 1998 en route to claiming the LPGA's rookie of the year award. Can a player as accomplished as Tiger Woods make The Leap? Sure, but as a guy who's been there, done that throughout his career, about the only thing left for him is to win the Grand Slam. (And no, I'm not being so bold as to predict that, although nothing would surprise me anymore.) Instead, my dazzling dozen-and-a-half includes players from the current No. 2 man in the world to at least a few you likely have never encountered.
It's an inexact science -- and maybe that's what makes it so much fun. Here are my 18 to make The Leap in 2009:
1.Sergio Garcia
The Leap: Major champion
As the current No. 2-ranked golfer in the world, Garcia might shoulder the label of "Best Player To Have Never Won A Major," but he's far from a Chicago Cubs-style lovable loser. Through the years, he's earned a rep as a player who owns a perennially poor putting stroke and can't win the big one, but look more carefully at Garcia's record, and you'll find those characterizations should have vanished in the past year. El Nino finished 107th in putting average this past season, which obviously wasn't exceptional but was much improved over previous years. For a guy with one of the best tee-to-green games in the biz, his putting might need to be only good -- not great -- to score big-time results. And he already has won a big one -- well, a pretty big one, at least -- taking the Players Championship this past May. I've been saying for years that Garcia will win a major before turning 30. He has four more shots at it. As Cubbies fans keep saying, "It's gonna happen." This is the year for Garcia.
2. Hunter Mahan
The Leap: Top 10 of Official World Golf Ranking
Take a good look at the top 10 of the current Official World Golf Ranking, because 52 weeks from now, it might be totally rearranged. Oh sure, Tiger and Garcia and Phil Mickelson likely will remain among the world's elite, but others will drop from the list, and common sense says they have to be replaced. Mahan is my pick to make The Leap into the game's upper echelon. At No. 44 on the OWGR entering the year, the Ryder Cup star has been a proven winner at every level on which he's competed, from AJGA to college to the PGA Tour, where he broke through with a victory at the 2007 Travelers Championship. It says a lot about the guy that he finished 30th on the money list in 2008 and considered it a down year. Expect him to come back in style this season.
3. Sean O'Hair
The Leap: Presidents Cup team member
Young guns J.B. Holmes, Kim and Mahan might have been all the rage at Valhalla, but they are hardly the only American-born players who will be carrying the flag in international competition over the next decade. Expect fellow 20-something O'Hair, who earned his second career PGA Tour victory before his 26th birthday last year, to enjoy yet another solid season and join them on Fred Couples' roster at Harding Park. He's a notoriously streaky player, but if he hits the scene on an uptick, he could be a key cog for the U.S.' chances.
4. Aaron Baddeley
The Leap: Multiple PGA Tour tournament winner
In 2008, the list of PGA Tour players who had multiple victories included Tiger, Padraig Harrington, Mickelson, Kim, Vijay Singh, Camilo Villegas, Kenny Perry -- and that's it. Seems like this is an increasingly exclusive club each season; anyone can win one event, but only the most talented players win more. Consider the man known as Badds on that level. He didn't have a great season hitting the ball in 2008, resulting in his first winless campaign in three years, but expect that to change while his putting stroke remains one of the smoothest around. The Aussie undoubtedly has been passed on the road to superstardom by a few of his fellow young guns. This season, he'll pass 'em right back.
5. Stacy Lewis
The Leap: LPGA rookie of the year
She's not only talented, but she might have a chip on her shoulder, too. As an amateur, Lewis won an LPGA title -- sort of. An opening-round 65 gave her the 18-hole lead at the 2007 NW Arkansas Championship, but the tournament went no further because of weekend-long weather delays, and she was declared an unofficial winner. And then at last year's U.S. Women's Open, she finished T-3, but since she was not an LPGA member, those earnings didn't count toward her total and she was relegated to Q-school. No matter for the former University of Arkansas sensation, who charged through the tournament to earn medalist honors. All of which has me believing that even during a season that should boast an especially strong rookie class -- in particular, watch out for runaway Futures Tour money leader Vicky Hurst -- ROY might be too timid of a proclamation for Lewis. On her way there, expect two or three wins.
6. Casey Wittenberg
The Leap: PGA Tour rookie of the year
To say I'm bullish on the incoming PGA Tour freshman class that recently graduated from the Nationwide circuit is a severe understatement. While only two such players won tournaments in 2008 (Marc Turnesa and Chez Reavie), a whole bunch have the potential to find the winner's circle this season, including Peter Tomasulo, Colt Knost, Aron Price, Ricky Barnes and Spencer Levin. If you pay attention to amateur golf, none of these names should come as a surprise. Nor should Wittenberg, of course, who was a can't-miss kid -- until he missed. Well, he's not a kid anymore, and although his T-13 and T-36 results as an amateur in 2004 at the Masters and U.S. Open, respectively, might seem like a lifetime ago, he still has the chops to be a successful player. If his Nationwide record is any indication, expect Wittenberg to rack up plenty of top-25s, a few top-10s and a couple of title contentions during the year.
7. Pat Perez
The Leap: Major championship contender
Tiger finished tops in the PGA Tour's all-around ranking -- which measures players' standings in eight important statistical categories -- during each of the three seasons from 2005 to 2007. He didn't play enough rounds to be considered eligible in 2008, so the No. 1 spot was relinquished to none other than Perez. A flammable personality, the much-maligned Perez might not do anything great, but perhaps more importantly, he doesn't do anything poorly. With six top-10s in 27 starts in 2008, it was another season of building and growing and maturing and a bunch of look-on-the-bright-side, positive-attitude moments that Perez probably didn't care much about. The guy just wants to win, and although he's still searching for his first tour triumph, don't be surprised to see him in the mix going into the back nine on a Sunday afternoon at a major this season.
8. Steve Marino
The Leap: FedEx Cup contender
Red numbers are nothing new to this up-and-comer, who led the PGA Tour in total birdies (440) and finished T-9 in birdie average (3.70 per round) in 2008. Those numbers resulted in 27 made cuts in 32 starts, including six top-10s. At 28, he's only getting better. With the revamped FedEx Cup points system allowing for more players to have a chance to win at East Lake, don't be surprised to see his name popping up among the game's elite that week. Helping the cause is the fact that Marino finished T-10 and T-22, respectively, in the second- and third-round playoff events (Deutsche Bank Championship and BMW Championship) last season. Those results left him on the outside looking in when it came to the Tour Championship, but that won't be a problem this time around.
9. Ryo Ishikawa
The Leap: International sensation
If that tag seems a little vague, I apologize, but it's not for lack of effort. Originally, I was going to tab Ishikawa with a leap to "household name," but he's going to have to win a major for that to happen. Then, I decided on "teen phenom" but realized he's already there; that would be less a leap than a flatline. I finally settled on "international sensation," although an Austin Powers-ish label of "international man of mystery" might be the most fitting. Having just turned 17 in September, Ishikawa already owns three career professional victories and is ranked 60th in the world, despite having never teed it up in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. Should he maintain that ranking, it will be enough to qualify him for the three WGC events and at least a few others, if he so chooses. Don't expect any wins over here yet, just a few flashes of brilliance and a few layers of that mystery peeled away.
10. Michelle Wie
The Leap: Top 10 on LPGA money list
Many golf fans believed Wie would make this leap years ago -- and maybe she should have. Many others believe it won't happen for years to come, if at all. Whichever side of the fence you're on -- and trust me, there aren't many who don't have a strong opinion on her future prospects -- do yourself this favor: Forget her past. Forget her increasingly futile attempts to compete in PGA Tour events. Forget her five top-3 finishes in LPGA major championships. Forget her previous wrist injuries. Instead, look at Wie for what she is right now -- an extremely talented LPGA rookie who already owns a ton of experience at the age of 19. Will she set the tour ablaze in her premier full season? It's doubtful, but winning at least one event and finishing in the top 10 on the money list seems a modest proposal, one that certainly is attainable should her wrist injuries subside and should she pick up where she left off a few years ago by continuing to realize her potential.
11. Nick Watney
The Leap: Top 50 of Official World Golf Ranking
Sometimes the numbers lie. Sometimes they don't tell the full story and can't provide an accurate indicator of things to come. In these cases, trust the eyeball test. It's an examination that Watney passes with flying colors; watch him on the range, and you'll see he has one of the most impressive swings on any given week. Of course, watch his results, and you'll notice that it hasn't totally translated into success, save his 2007 Zurich Classic win. That will change this season, as the Fresno State product becomes even more comfortable in his fifth full season on tour. He's ranked No. 204 in the world right now, but if the putter comes around just a bit, he'll soar up the list.
12. Tim Clark
The Leap: PGA Tour tournament winner
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, right? OK, so maybe I've touted this very same player for this very same leap in the past. More than once. And OK, maybe it hasn't happened -- yet. It's only a matter of time for Clark, though, who recently won the Aussie Open and has five other international victories to his credit. He hasn't been too far off on U.S. soil, either, with six runner-up finishes over the past four seasons. In related news, I also think Ken Duke, Justin Rose, Mathew Goggin and Ian Poulter will win their first PGA Tour tournament titles. And if Clark doesn't claim some hardware? Yeah, he probably will be right back on this list again next year.
13. David Horsey
The Leap: Top 10 on European Tour money list
Waiting in the wings as future Ryder Cup heartbreakers are young European players from Northern Ireland (Rory McIlroy), Germany (Martin Kaymer) and Spain (Pablo Larrazabal), but I'll take this 23-year-old Englishman as the breakout player overseas in 2009. Last season, Horsey won twice en route to claiming the money title on the Challenge Tour (the Euro equivalent of the Nationwide circuit). Fully exempt in the big leagues, expect him to make the jump to top-10 player.
14. Jay Williamson
The Leap: Top 50 on PGA Tour money list
No, you don't have to be an up-and-comer to make The Leap. Williamson, who will turn 42 in February, missed the cut in his final six starts this past season, finishing 137th on the money list and earning yet another trip to Q-school. That's the bad news. The good news is that he was this close to never needing it in the first place. In 2007, Williamson was in position to win the Travelers Championship before falling to Mahan in a playoff. Last season, he reached extra holes at the John Deere Classic before succumbing to Perry. He's got the game, he's got the full-year exemption -- now look for the St. Louis native to make the most of both.
15. Na Yeon Choi
The Leap: LPGA tournament winner
Talk about tough luck. In her debut LPGA season, Choi earned nine top-10s, finished 21st or better in all four major championships and placed 11th on final the money list -- and still fell 267 points shy of Yani Tseng in the Rolex Rookie of the Year race. A big hitter (20th in driving distance last year) who can go low (35 of her 98 rounds were in the 60s), expect Choi to join the ranks of so many South Korean players who have followed in the footsteps of Se Ri Pak on their way to the winner's circle. And based on recent history, don't be surprised if -- like Tseng in '08 -- that first win comes at a major.
16. Gary Woodland
The Leap: PGA Tour driving distance champion
You read it here first: Early whispers are that Woodland, a PGA Tour rookie who qualified through Q-school, has the swing speed to topple Bubba Watson from the perch of biggest bomber on tour. In fact, if what I'm hearing is true, the only player who might be able to hold back the former Kansas Jayhawk is himself; if Woodland decides hitting fairways is more important than hitting into the stratosphere and tames his game with more fairway woods off the tee, he'll fall a little short. And if that's the case, here's one more potential contender to the throne: Marc Leishman, an Aussie who also is making his PGA Tour debut this season, finished seventh on the Nationwide Tour driving distance list in 2008 and owned two of the three longest drives of the year.
17. Won Joon Lee
The Leap: Nationwide Tour graduate
If Triple-A ballparks all were 390 feet to the deepest part of center field and major league stadiums all were 440, wouldn't it stand to reason that the best minor leaguers might not translate into the best major leaguers? Such is the case with the differential between the Nationwide Tour and its big brother, the PGA Tour, as the lower level often features shorter venues that play into the hands of ball-strikers more than power players. That's a problem for Lee, who was born in South Korea, raised in Australia and boasts one of the longest games on any pro tour. Last year, Lee led the Nationwide circuit with an average driving distance of 315.7 yards but managed to parlay that into only a 50th-place finish on the money list. Expect the brawny 23-year-old to stay in the top 25 this time, then use his prodigious talents to overpower some of the PGA Tour's longest venues in 2010 and beyond.
18. Wen-Tang Lin
The Leap: European Tour tournament winner
There is absolutely, positively no possible way that every choice on this list will fail to make The Leap. That's because I cheated. Picking Lin is like automatically filling in the middle square on a bingo card before hearing a number called. Having won the Hong Kong Open in a playoff over McIlroy and Francesco Molinari in November, Lin was a 2009 tournament champion two months before the calendar rolled over.

NEW YORK (AP) - The CBS show "NCIS" is the opposite of an overnight success. Now it's hit the top.
Mark Harmon's crime-solving drama was television's most-watched program for the second week of the TV season, just like it was for the first. The Nielsen Co. says last week's audience of 21.4 million viewers was the biggest for the series in its seven seasons.
The show started out as a modest success for CBS, finishing No. 26 in its first season starting in 2003. But it has exploded in interest recently, particularly when the USA network began showing syndicated reruns last year.
CBS was the most popular network again last week.

The death of Osama bin Laden highlights what a difference a decade makes, even for a country as seemingly unchanging as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ten years ago, in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, Iranians and their government responded with sympathetic outrage. Tehran was the scene of spontaneous candlelight vigils by ordinary Iranians and a temporary suspension of the weekly chants of "death to America" by its official clergy. An array of Iranian officials, many with reformist political leanings, offered seemingly heartfelt condolences to the American people, and even the hardest-line elements of Iran's leadership briefly summoned the moral decency to denounce al Qaeda, its leader Bin Laden and the use of terrorism against Americans. Over the course of subsequent weeks and months, Tehran provided crucial logistical assistance to the U.S. campaign against the Taliban and cooperated closely with Washington in establishing a new Afghan government. For a short time, the prospects for ending the bitter estrangement between the two countries and for Iran's return to the community of nations seemed for the first-time truly conceivable.
In fact, the post-attack spirit of reconciliation between Tehran and Washington proved predictably fleeting – cooperation foundered, mistrust intensified, and Iran's internal politics regressed into paranoia and repression. And nearly ten years later, Tehran greeted this week's news that U.S. forces had killed bin Laden with far more cynicism than sympathy. The Foreign Ministry opined in a frosty tone that bin Laden's death vitiates any need for U.S. presence in the broader Middle East, and used the news as an opportunity tocall on Washington to remove all its troops from the region. A number of other Iranian officials and press outlets indulged in the crass conspiracy theories promulgated most infamously by their current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose hateful repertoire includes calling the 9/11 attacks a "big fabrication" and accusing the U.S. government of complicity in them. Rather than creating new traction for bilateral cooperation on an area of common interest such as Afghanistan, the death of bin Laden only highlights the durability and mutual hostility remnant in the standoff between Washington and Tehran.
The American-Iranian drama need not have devolved in this fashion. Both sides bear culpability in the failure to build on the early cooperation over Afghanistan during the aftermath of 9/11. The Bush administration was too confident in the inevitability of the Islamic Republic's demise, while Iran's leaders were too divided and too locked in their own defiance to permit any real evolution in their approach to the Great Satan. As bilateral tensions mounted, the slow but tangible liberalization of Iran's internal politics was derailed by the regime's deep-seated paranoia – a precedent that should temper any optimism that a more democratic, pro-American outcome is inevitable in other ongoing transitions in the region.
In spite of past failures and the inauspicious political environment in Tehran, the death of Bin Laden should prompt reconsideration in both capitals about the possibility of reviving direct talks on Afghanistan. To date, Washington has been hesitant on this front, for fear of undercutting its diplomatic efforts to forestall Iran's nuclear ambitions. This tunnel vision is short-sighted. Washington's long-sought success in the campaign against al Qaeda only further strengthens the administration's position in dealing with an intransigent Iran. Now is the ideal time to test whether it is possible to exploit the regime's well-honed instincts for survival and opportunism in order to achieve a more stable outcome in Afghanistan, and potentially revive the prospects for any constructive direct diplomacy between the United States and Iran.

RE: #131474169 Mildred Laverne Benton
Thank you for your correction regarding this memorial. Nor sure why I didn't notice the date problems when I linked Otis & Carol. I am unable to contact contributor, Lanie, for more clarification of her research.(no contact info listed on her page). I believe Mildred's maiden name is actually BRYANT but online recs differ on her parents. If you can get more info from Yvonne, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks again,
A. Clark

I just now finished it and I had photos for all but one, and am not to sure he is suppose to be buried at Concord. I will have to check into it further. I hope you are enjoying the photos. Teresa and I spent labor day photographing cemeteries, we covered 12 from 8 am to 7 pm. We had a blast, accomplished a lot, and saw parts of our county we had never been to. We were very impressed at how much beauty was in our own backyard. God Bless, Pam

20 things girls wish guys knew -
This was sent to me in an email; I thought I'd share it as it made me laugh and a lot of the things on the list are just so true. xD
* You have to tell a girl how you feel about her; if you don't tell us you care about us, we'll assume you don't.
* Girls need food, water, and compliments to survive.
* Girls are not born with the knowledge of how to cook; some of us actually can't.
* Anything we say or do during that four days to a week each month cannot be held against us.
* If you think for any reason that we don't like you then we probably don't.
* Sometimes, the only man a girl can rely on is her daddy.
* Having us over while you and your friends play video games does not count as "quality time".
* Never comment on how much a girl eats... ever.
* There is no point whatsoever in getting jealous of our pinup posters. Just cuz we're with you doesn't mean we can't look at other men.
* Walks in the rain, kisses on the forehead, and cooking dinner for us will get you everywhere.
* Just because we're in a serious relationship doesn't mean we want to have babies with you someday, so stop being so flipping scared!!!
* If we can admit that we're wrong, you'd better be able to do the same.
* Think before you speak... it'll make a world of difference.
* Make fun of our clothes... prepare to die.
* Never tell us after we get our hair done that you liked it better the way it was before.
* Never try to get between a girl and her best friend.
* Don't break our hearts; especially if we have an older brother or protective guy friends cuz they will hunt you down and kill you.
* If you're gonna look at other girls, at least make sure we don't see you do it.
* Sometimes only cat cuddles will do; so don't be jealous of the kitty.
* We reserve the right to hate all of your ex-girlfriends.

AbstractTo provide the Armed Forces with accurate lethality assessments for fielded munitions, warhead characterization is performed in ground based arena and sled testing. The current procedures are time consuming and costly, while only producing a fraction of the desired data. In the current method, the device under test is surrounded by switch screens to record fragment impact time and bundles of foam insulation to capture fragments. Fragments must be recovered by hand to be weighed and measured, requiring weeks of labor. This process is time consuming and gives no way to correlate fragment mass and velocity. Additionally, only a fraction of the fragments are recovered. To meet the need for an automatic method of full hemisphere warhead fragmentation characterization, McQ will develop a system which replaces the ring of switch screens with a network of sensors containing high speed cameras. The system will record and analyze video of the warhead fragmentation then automatically produce a report describing the mass, size, speed, and trajectory of each fragment. The system will be capable of setup by two technicians in a matter of hours and will require no manual recovery or analysis of fragments after the test.

How long long does 10mg of diazepam take to get out of your system completely?
- Posted:
- 10 Dec 2011 by Karen Lauder
- Topics:
- diazepam
Answers (1)
10 Dec 2011
Benzodiazepines like diazepam can stay in the system a pretty long time. It depends on how much you take and for how long. Also your health, age, weight and metabolic rate play a part.
How long a drug stays in your system depends mainly on it's elimination half life - the time it takes for plasma drug levels to fall by half.
The elimination half life of the active metabolite of diazepam (N-desmethyldiazepam) is, on average, 100 hours.
It takes 5.5 x elimination half lives (hours) for a medicine to be cleared from your system, therefore diazepam or it's active metabolite will be in your system for 550 hours (5.5 x 100hrs) i.e. approximately 23 days.

I don't have GD (I passed the 1 hour with 107), but I have high ketones and glucose in my urine. I did have a 2 hour test while in the hospital for dizziness and it was 161. But the next day they did the one hour and I passed.
Doctor doesn't seem to be concerned at all.
She didn't even tell me about the positive urine test. I got the results from the nurse on the way out the door.
So I googled it, and it says ketones are bad for the baby.
I'm not trying to be a google doctor, but I am wondering should I get a second opinion?
Any advice or similar experiences?

Vital Flesh
It's spring! Time to get naked. Well, not really, but at Cult Status's "Vital Flesh" show there will be plenty of nudity in art form to enjoy. Five Minneapolis figurative painters will tackle the ever luminous, mysterious, and complex subject of the human body in an exhibition that embraces the long-standing tradition of nude figurative painting while offering a contemporary take on the form. Among the highlights will be the work of Caitlin Karolczak, a darling of the Twin Cities arts community, who can be relied on to show some disturbing and beautiful pieces. Karolczak mines historical drawings and other artifacts to create sometimes shocking and grotesque works that are painstakingly detailed. She will have several works on display that she's never shown publicly before, including at least one new large painting. Also featured in the exhibition are J.M. Culver, Jamie Cook, Luke Tromiczak, and Luke Hillestad, who is also showing work at Rogue Buddha Gallery through May 5.

text: Hmmm I need to read things a bit closer :). Yeah that was the question I asked on my original post. Hopefully by putting the vocal feedback in the default script for NVDA the cut copy and paste will speak in any app. But yeah the labeling of graphics and links would require an off screen model similar to Jaws video intercept. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Greer To: nvda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 10:54 AM Subject: [nvda] Re: NVDA And Key Labels For Windows As far as I am aware NVDA already says the accelerator keys for most things like that, and as far as labeling graphics and links, that would require having an off screen model similar to Jaws video intercept. ----- Original Message ----- From: trenton matthews To: nvda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 10:22 AM Subject: [nvda] NVDA And Key Labels For Windows Would there be a problem to label key commands such as: "Control+c" for copy "control+x" for cutting, "control+v" for pasting? Also, for keys like in word, "control+e" centering text, "control+b" bolding text which NVDA would have to figure out a way to read the graphic which turns it on and off, "control+u" for underline, which has the toggle effect, "control+a" to select all, which is in every applatication almost, "control+f4" for closing a word document, "control+o" to open a file, "control+p" for printing in any application, "control+n" for new, etc. Also, this topic may have been covered, however would there be a way to label links, and different keys manually, then people could just pass files around? Kinda like a "key label" dictionary" as window-eyes calls it? Or links dictionary, for internet links, just like in Freedom Box, as they call it, the "Seasaw" project?"

Barack Obama needs 10 more delegates to hit the magic number for the nomination!
AND, Maxine Waters switched her endorsement from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama. Thank you, Maxine. This Californian appreciates the gesture toward party unity.
Chicago, IL – Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) endorsed Barack Obama for President. Waters switched her endorsement from Clinton to Obama citing his ability to unite the country and leadership on issues such as the housing crisis and war in Iraq.
Throughout this primary election, I have witnessed two extraordinary candidates champion the concerns that matter most to the American people. As an outspoken advocate on issues critical to women and children, I have great admiration for Senator Clinton and know first-hand her commitment to our country.
However, our nation is at crossroads. Now is the time for us to unite so that real change is possible in November. Today, I am endorsing Senator Barack Obama because I firmly believe that he embodies the judgment and conviction necessary to bring about change that will make a difference in the lives of all Americans.
On issue after issue, from ending the disastrous war in Iraq, to addressing the housing crisis to making healthcare affordable for every working family, Barack Obama offers bold leadership that will put our nation back on the right path after the eight years of failed policies of George W. Bush.
That is the choice we face in November, and that is why I am supporting Barack Obama for President.

Bring Safety Home, a timely new initiative launched by WSPS and the Ministry of Labour, is the first website targeted to parents of young workers. It helps parents of young workers play a greater role in their safety at work.
Under regulatory amendments that took effect July 1, all of an organization's employees and volunteers must now be trained on accessible customer service and how to interact with people with disabilities. "This is a significant shift," says Jennifer Threndyle, a WSPS consultant and AODA compliance expert. "Previously, only members of your organization who work with customers or create policies and procedures on how to interact with people with different disabilities required the training."
A recent prosecution resulting from the death of a worker who tripped on an empty pallet is a shocking reminder of how easily things can go wrong. We asked WSPS's Jennifer MacFarlane how warehouses, distributions centres and other workplaces could avoid similar incidents. Her immediate response: involve everyone.
