Indoor Showcase Set For Perfect Game USA
: : Story
Jim Ecker
Thursday, February 18, 2010
The staff at Perfect Game USA routinely travels around the country to run our events and scout talented baseball players. This time the talent is coming to us.
The 9th Annual Pitcher-Catcher Indoor Showcase will be held at Perfect Game headquarters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 20-21), with 85 players from 14 states heading our way. This will be an excellent chance to showcase the players and also showcase our remodeled facility, with new lights, new carpets, additional batting cages and an expanded pro shop.
The Showcase begins at 9 a.m. both days and runs until 7:30 Saturday night and until 6:30 on Sunday night.
This weekend's Showcase features numerous players who are ranked nationally, including four of the top-70 high school seniors in the country in Kellen Sweeney, Jordan Shipers, Jon Keller and Michael Foltynewicz.
Sweeney, ranked 25th, is a star shortstop at Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School in Iowa. He's made an extremely quick recovery from Tommy John surgery in August and is anxious to show pro scouts how well he's doing and how well he's swinging the bat. Sweeney has committed to the University of San Diego.
Jordan Shipers, ranked 40th in the Class of 2010, is a left-handed pitcher from Bethany, Mo., who has committed to Missouri State. His high school does not have a baseball team, but he's been a star in summer ball and is considered one of the top southpaws in this year's class.
Jon Keller, ranked 49th, is a big right-handed pitcher at Xavier High School in Cedar Rapids. His fastball was clocked at 94 mph in the prep playoffs in Iowa last summer and he's made rapid improvement the past two years. Keller has had Type I diabetes since he was 14 years old, but it hasn't affected his performance on the field and the disease is totally under control.
Michael Foltynewicz, ranked 69th in the Class of 2010, is a pitcher from Minooka, Ill., who throws 93 mph. He's committed to the University of Texas.
Another intriguing prospect is Patrick Lala, a sophomore at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Lala, who prepped at Marion High School in Iowa, was clocked at 95 mph when he threw for pro scouts a few weeks ago and is now ranked as the No.1 JUCO prospect in Iowa. He might challenge the Showcase record for the fastest fastball, currently shared by Cody Scarpetta and Casey Crosby, a pair of Illinois pitchers who hit 94 in 2007.
Many other top prospects will be performing in the Showcase this weekend. For the complete list, return to the Home Page for
and look for the link to the 2010 Pitcher-Catcher Indoor Showcase at the top of the page. You'll find the rosters, schedules, directions and much more.

Compiling a program to bytecode instead of native code enables a certain level of portability, so long a fitting Virtual Machine exists.
But I'm kinda wondering, why delay the compilation? Why not simply compile the byte code when installing an application?
And if that is done, why not adopt it to languages that directly compile to native code? Compile them to an intermediate format, distribute a "JIT" compiler with the installer and compile it on the target machine.
The only thing I can think of is runtime optimization. That's about the only major thing that can't be done at installation time. Thoughts?

The director's cut of The Expendables isn't that at all. As Sly himself states in a great introduction to the new blu-ray of his film, he basically started from scratch and re-edited the movie from the ground up to what his original vision and intention of the film was from the outset. He says that he liked the theatrical cut but that he loves the director's cut. I completely agree with him!
One thing that really stuck out to me is that the theatrical cut was edited in such a way that the majority of the film seemed to be focused much more on Sly and Jason Statham's characters. That is completely understandable since they were really the box office draw (in addition to the Bruce Willis and Schwarzenegger cameos). One of the criticisms of the theatrical cut that a lot of people had was that the other members of the Expendables team weren't given as much room to breathe and seemed kind of short changed in terms of getting to know who they all were better.
This has been completely rectified in the extended director's cut as all of the other characters get nice additional moments that really brings a sense of how they work as a team better than the theatrical cut did at times. The director's cut seems to have a lot more heart and soul now than it did in the theatrical cut.Read more ›
At one point I leaned over to one of my buddies and said, "Best. Movie. Ever." Really. Actually, it probably isn't the best movie ever. But it was a nice throwback to the good old days of 80's movies that I grew up watching with the cheesy Schwarzenegger one-liners and over the top violence where the good guy wins and the bad guy meets his maker in some ridiculous way.
There are some over the top visuals that make it worth seeing and hearing; the sound was pretty amazing. And by amazing, I mean loud. Explosions you can feel in your bowels and that's not just the beef and bean burrito from lunch talkin' either. Better than they could do in the Eighties.
They missed out on a rematch w/ Lundgren and Stallone. I kept waiting for Lundgren to say, "I will break you" to someone but it never happened. The Schwarzenegger cameo was cool, but he should have thrown someone out of a window or something. Not happening these days. Same w/ Willis; he really has no part in this and didn't seem too menacing to me which was also disappointing. However, the rest of the cast delivered cases of canned butt-whoopin' as if they were FedEx.
Here's a typical scene. Statham kicks the tar out of a bunch of knuckleheads: in front of his ex-girlfriend who is dating one of said knuckleheads who, predictably, smacks her around. Too bad for Knucklehead that her ex has more than a passing interest in her and happens to be in a bad mood when he learns of the abuse. Bam. Pow. Smack. Insert one-liner, get the girl back, ride off unharmed w/ hottie on the motorcycle. I think people actually cheered at the fight choreography. I mean, the whole movie is like this. It's brilliant.Read more ›
But in this case, the Director's Cut takes EXPENDABLES to a much higher level !!
Now I can like EXPENDABLES much better and never watch the theatrical version again.
Improvements -------
1) More character development
2) better choice of backing music
3) different bad guys in opening ship scene
4) got rid of the choppy edited fight scenes and returned a more complete natural action to the fight scenes so that you can now actually follow what is going on.
Much longer and complete fight scenes
5) More interplay between characters .. more comradarie
It is almost like a totally different movie
Seeing this Director's Cut, I can't understand why they ever released the original Theatrical Version like it was.
By comparison the original version looks like what happens when they put a movie on TV and edit the heck out of it to avoid ratings problems.
Without question .......... EXPENDABLES Director's Cut is 100% better !
I was not a big fan of the original release as I found it kind of shallow and nothing more than boom and pow.
But this Director's Cut really makes it a better movie
The result, however, is quite disappointing. Despite a strong cast and not-quite-so-shabby performances, the movie never provided me with the adrenaline rush I was expecting from a movie of this type. That is due to both the lackluster storyline and the poorly-edited action sequences. There are some nice moments between Stallone and Jason Statham that recalls some of the best buddy movies, and the explosions are louder than ever. But for the most part,the action sequences are less satisfying than they could have been because Stallone chose to employ the quick cuts that are so popular in the action genre noawadays, but which only made the action scenes that much more confusing to figure out. A lot of times I would have to wait until the dust have settled after a big fight to figure out what has just happened and who is left standing at the end of it. Also, the under-use of Jet Li in this movie is just criminal. This movie really belongs to Stallone and Statham; and for many of Li's big scenes either Stallone and Statham would be called upon to save him at the end. The sole purpose of Li's participation only seems to be to provide the movie with its third big name star. But what is the point of using someone like Jet Li if you're not going to give him a chance to do what he does best?
So in conclusion, while this movie could have been a lot worse, it could also have been a lot better. Word is that a sequel is already in the works. Here's hoping that the 2nd movie is a lot more satisfying than the first one.

Molecular mechanisms involved in T cell migration across the blood–brain barrier

In the healthy individuum lymphocyte traffic into the central nervous system (CNS) is very low and tightly controlled by the highly specialized blood–brain barrier (BBB). In contrast, under inflammatory conditions of the CNS such as in multiple sclerosis or in its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) circulating lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages readily cross the BBB and gain access to the CNS leading to edema, inflammation and demyelination. Interaction of circulating leukocytes with the endothelium of the blood–spinal cord and blood–brain barrier therefore is a critical step in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases of the CNS. Leukocyte/endothelial interactions are mediated by adhesion molecules and chemokines and their respective chemokine receptors. We have developed a novel spinal cord window preparation, which enables us to directly visualize CNS white matter microcirculation by intravital fluorescence videomicroscopy. Applying this technique of intravital fluorescence videomicroscopy we could provide direct in vivo evidence that encephalitogenic T cell blasts interact with the spinal cord white matter microvasculature without rolling and that α4-integrin mediates the G-protein independent capture and subsequently the G-protein dependent adhesion strengthening of T cell blasts to microvascular VCAM-1. LFA-1 was found to neither mediate the G-protein independent capture nor the G- protein dependent initial adhesion strengthening of encephalitogenic T cell blasts within spinal cord microvessel, but was rather involved in T cell extravasation across the vascular wall into the spinal cord parenchyme. Our observation that G-protein mediated signalling is required to promote adhesion strengthening of encephalitogenic T cells on BBB endothelium in vivo suggested the involvement of chemokines in this process. We found functional expression of the lymphoid chemokines CCL19/ELC and CCL21/SLC in CNS venules surrounded by inflammatory cells in brain and spinal cord sections of mice afflicted with EAE suggesting that the lymphoid chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 besides regulating lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid tissue might be involved in T lymphocyte migration into the immuneprivileged CNS during immunosurveillance and chronic inflammation. Here, I summarize our current knowledge on the sequence of traffic signals involved in T lymphocyte recruitment across the healthy and inflamed blood–brain and blood–spinal cord barrier based on our in vitro and in vivo investigations.

The goal of every dividend investor is to generate a rising stream of sustainable dividend income. The growth in dividends protects the purchasing power of the income, and further turbochargers the compounding process in the accumulation phase. Not all dividend increases are created equal however, as they vary depending on size and sustainability. It is important to focus on growing income, but it is also important to focus on those companies that can sustainably pay distributions out of their growing earnings. Without growth in earnings, future dividend growth would eventually hit a ceiling. In addition, dividend investors should also refuse to purchase the rights to the future stream of dividends at any price.
If the investor manages to purchase quality dividend growth companies at fair prices after analyzing them individually, and puts them in a diversified income portfolio that is monitored regularly, they would greatly increase their odds of achieving their goals. Dividend stocks would therefore be the gift that keeps on giving for this investor, showering him with cash for years to come.
Over the past week, several dividend payers approved higher distributions for shareholders:
AT&T Inc. (T) provides telecommunications services to consumers, businesses, and other providers in the United States and internationally. The company raised dividends by 2.20% to 46 cents/share. This marked the 30th consecutive dividend increase for this dividend champion. Over the past decade, AT&T has raised dividends by 5.20%/year. Currently the stock trades at 13.90 times expected 2013 earnings and yields 5.40%. Given the deceleration of the dividend growth rate, and the increasing competition in the telecom markets, I am going to stay away from this one. This is not different than my stance on the company for the past five years. Check my analysis of AT&T.
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) manufactures and sells protein meal, vegetable oil, corn sweeteners, flour, biodiesel, ethanol, and other value-added food and feed ingredients; and processes oilseeds, corn, wheat, cocoa, and other agricultural commodities. The company raised dividends by 26.30% to 24 cents/share. This marked the 39th consecutive dividend increase for this dividend champion. Over the past decade, Archer-Daniels-Midland has raised dividends by 9.10%/year. Currently the stock trades at 19.40 times earnings and yields 2.30%. I like the company, and would like to add to my position on dips below $38.50/share. Check my analysis of ADM.
3M Company (MMM) operates as a diversified technology company worldwide. The company raised dividends by 34.60% to 85.50 cents/share. This marked the 56th consecutive dividend increase for this dividend king. Over the past decade, 3M has raised dividends by 6.60%/year. Currently the stock trades at 20 times estimated 2013 earnings and yields 2.50%. It is nice to see another company that becomes a better dividend value in this otherwise overheated environment. Check my analysis of 3M.
Realty Income Corporation (O) is a publicly traded real estate investment trust that invests in commercial real estate markets of the United States. The company raised dividends to 18.217 cents/share. This dividend achiever has raised distributions since 1994. Over the past decade, the REIT has raised dividends by 4.20%/year. Currently the stock trades at 15.70 times FFO and yields 5.50%. The increase in interest rates in a few years might lead to further declines in stock prices for REITs. As a long-term investor, I see some growth in distributions from Realty Income in the future fueled by acquisitions and rent increases. This makes this REIT a buy in my book. I recently sold some January 2015 at-the-money puts on the stock. Check my analysis of Realty Income.
CVS Caremark Corporation (CVS), together with its subsidiaries, provides integrated pharmacy health care services in the United States. The company raised dividends by 22.20% to 27.50 cents/share. This marked the 11th consecutive dividend increase for this dividend achiever. Over the past decade, CVS has raised dividends by 18.80%/year. Currently the stock trades at 17.70 times estimated 2013 earnings and yields 1.60%. While the stock is below my minimum entry yield requirement, I would continue monitoring future developments at CVS.
General Electric Company (GE) operates as an infrastructure and financial services company worldwide.
The company raised dividends by 15.80% to 22 cents/share. This marked the 4th consecutive annual dividend increase for General Electric. The new dividend is still below the levels of 31 cents/share for shareholders, that was last seen in early 2009. Currently the stock trades at 16.70 times estimated 2013 earnings and yields 3.30%. I plan on reviewing GE in more detail in the coming weeks, in order to determine if it is worthy of my investment dollars.
Urstadt Biddle Properties, Inc. (UBA), a real estate investment trust (REIT), engages in the acquisition, ownership, and management of commercial real estate properties in the United States.
The company raised dividends by 1% to 25.25 cents/share. This marked the 20th consecutive dividend increase for this dividend achiever. Over the past decade, Urstadt Biddle Properties has raised dividends by 2%/year. Currently the REIT trades at 20 times FFO and yields 5.50%. I am generally not a fan of dividend growth companies that raise dividends simply to maintain a streak, but the nominal raises are below the rate of inflation. Despite the high current yield, I do not find the company worthy of further research.

Since last december's update, the two WordPress blogs I'm using at work have a similar issue : when I'm on the edit page of a post, clicking on the media button does nothing (same with "featured image" link). Everything else is working fine.
One of these blogs is a self-hosted WordPress, the other other is a WordPress.com blog.
I tried turning off plugins, it didn't work (and the fact that I'm having the issue even on a WordPress.com blog seems to imply that it's not a plugin issue).
When I access the sites at home, or on my professional computer but with another internet access than my office's access, everything works.
The guys in charge of our network can't figure out what to do. We tried using Firebug for clues about what's being blocked, with no luck.
Can anyone help us find how to fix this ?
The WordPress.org site is http://nantes.ascee-ceteo.fr
Since 3.5 update, I upgraded everytime possible. Currently under 3.6.1

Rev. Willard Rhodes, 82
Published: Monday, November 23, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 23, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.
"Strike up the band, assemble the choir, sing a welcome song, another soldier has come home". On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009, the Rev. Willard Rhodes, 82, completed his earthly journey only to be welcomed by friends and family that have gone ahead of him and the Savior he had introduced so many to. Upon his arrival, we are sure he was greeted by his daughter, Jan Rhodes Gravely, and son-in-law, Travis Lively, just to name a few.
A native of Henderson County, he faithfully ministered to many people in the community as a pastor of several churches in the area during over 50 years of service. Continuing his legacy are his wife of 62 years, Dorothy Rhodes; daughters, Annette Lively of East Flat Rock, Lorie and Ricky Henderson of Dana; a son, J R and Teresa Rhodes of Hendersonville; grandchildren, Angelique and Troy McMurray of Zirconia, Heth and Billie Lively of Zirconia, Autum Henderson of Dana, Jerred and Tiffany Henderson of East Flat Rock, Joe Kev Gravely of Saluda; great-grandchildren, Josie Lively and Landen McMurray, along with his brothers and sisters as well as his many nieces and nephews and their children.
The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Living Water Baptist Church. The Revs. Mike Stewart and Carroll Poole will officiate. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. today at East Hendersonville Baptist Church.
Guests may sign a register book at www.forestlawnhendersonville.com.
Forest Lawn Mortuary is assisting the family with arrangements.

DOE Says School Ratings Point to Progress
The Department of Education gave 40% of its 422 high schools an A in its annual progress reports, while 10% got D's or F's.
The progress reports are a hallmark of Chancellor Joel Klein's accountability efforts, and the grades are used to help determine which schools might be closed.
The reports, which are based on student attendance, graduation rates and parent and teacher surveys, have also been a lightning rod for critics of Mr. Klein, who maintain that the school system shouldn't be run like a business. They complain that the letter grades encourage principals and teachers to push a narrower curriculum solely to get kids to pass tests rather than focus on more well-rounded offerings.
The agency said high schools that had been launched since 2002, when Mr. Klein became chancellor, performed better than other schools. The DOE pointed to that as evidence that its strategy of closing large, failing schools and opening smaller schools in their place is working.
"In the aggregate, they are dramatically outperforming the rest of the schools in the city," said Shael Suransky, a deputy chancellor at the DOE. The small schools are "given a fresh start with a new team of educators who come in and build the school grade by grade and [that] builds a new culture."
The teachers union, the United Federation of Teachers, however, said that there wasn't much difference between small and medium-size schools among those that received an A or a B.
The union also noted that a certain number of high schools that have in the past been marked for turnaround efforts because of poor performance actually received A's or B's.
That raises "the question of why they need to be 'transformed,' " the UFT said in a statement.
"The administration should be focused on improving schools of every size," the union said.

I have a little problem for you guys.
I would like to do this:
Type[] classes = new Type[]{ Class1, Class2 };
foreach(Type t in classes){
List<t> list = new List<t>();
Is there some way to do this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You cannot cast to a generic type at runtime, because the type in the generic needs to be resolved at compile time.
You can create a generic type in a dynamic manner using reflection, but unless you hard-code the cast, all you get in return is an object.
I cannot really tell what it is you want, I have to agree with a comment this is an XY problem. I would be inclined to make the presumptuous statement that there is a design issue somewhere that this is trying to solve, instead of addressing the design issue directly, or asking the question of what you are trying to achieve directly.
You can use the following code to create the type, then the
The above sample duck types the
Just to clarify, I likely wouldn't use such code in production (unless you requirements are very specific to need this) and any issues with type-mismatching will occur at run time; so you either need to type very accurately (limited IntelliSense) or have good error handling.
Thanks to this blog post for the
This assumes .NET 4 with the new CLR. As @MartinLiversage has also pointed out, this particular sample assumes that you are utilising the list in a sort-of-strongly-typed manner. In my example I am passing an
We have been on .NET 4 almost since it was released. We have a large application with an even larger code base.
You can do it like this:
This is possible with the Type.MakeGenericType Method
Here's a nifty method I found that should work for ya: CodeRef
And use it like so:
Unfortunately, to add items you'll have to do it like so (where item is the item you're adding).
Or use the
You can try this:
If you want to keep to objects in one list then probably they have something in common.
In such case, I would argue that, just like L.B mentioned in a comment, you are asking a wrong question here.
Probably it's a design issuethat you have. Think about those types, see what they have in common and think about deriving from one base type or make both implement the same interface. In such case you would be able to instantiate a list of the objects of the base type/interface and work with those.
Just to give you a head start:

Securing Scripts with Script Signing
Updated: December 2, 2007
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
Two alternatives exist for creating signed scripts. If you want to develop your own script host, the .NET Framework Software Development Kit (SDK) contains a set of tools for signing scripts: the File Signing Tool (Signcode.exe) and the Certificate Verification Tool (Chktrust.exe). When writing your own script host, call the Win32 API WinVerifyTrust. This API verifies the trust on a .vbs or .js file.
Alternatively, Windows Script Host version 5.6, which ships with Windows Server 2003, includes a signer object for creating and verifying signed scripts. The following JScript® code creates a signed file:
var Signer = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Signer"); var File = "c:\\myfile.vbs"; var Cert = "Jane Q. Programmer"; var Store = "my"; Signer.SignFile(File, Cert, Store);
The following sample, in this case as Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Scripting Edition (VBScript) code, verifies the signing on a file:
Dim Signer, File, ShowUI, FileOK Set Signer = CreateObject("Scripting.Signer") File = "c:\newfile.wsf" ShowUI = True FileOK = Signer.VerifyFile(File, ShowUI) If FileOK Then WScript.Echo File & " is trusted." Else WScript.Echo File & " is NOT trusted." End If
For more information about new code-signing features to protect against malicious scripts, see Windows Script Host: New Code-Signing Features Protect Against Malicious Scripts (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140091).
For more information about using Windows Script Host, see Help and Support Center for Windows Server 2003.

Eating vegetarian is awesome. Try it and you'll see. It's not easy since everyone around is eating delicious chicken wings and such but trust me, once you go vegan, your body will reject anything meat related. That is when you will realize how much it sucks!
The benefits of a vegetarian diet.
- Well being
- Healthy Longevity
- Fresh Mind
- Flawless skin.
- Enhanced brain functionality.
- Improved intellectual level.
- Kidneys do not have to work hard to get rid of the toxic load of meat.
- Tough durable body fatigue
- A light stomach
- Get in shape
- Valuable fiber
Eating plenty of vegetables in your body will work better because it is more resistant to acids from food and vegetables, which are alkaline. Fiber, which is high in fruits and vegetables can help in detoxifying the colon. Adjunct to compression of the intestine. Reduces neck Cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Also cardio is a must. I suggest you rent a bicycle from a local shop and go from there.
All vegetables are high in fiber. Eating more fiber can help prevent constipation, eat meat, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes and constipation.
There are two types of dietary fiber, dried beans, rice bran, wheat bread is a type of fiber dissolves in water. Type the insoluble corn, wheat and rice.
The vegetarian diet is not fat. The role of dietary fiber to help digest fats and fat cause the body to excrete. Off than people who eat less fiber.
Improves the effectiveness of various fruit body, which is beneficial to the intestinal microbial species.
But one fact is. Foods that are high in fiber. If we eat too much. May cause bloating or diarrhea. A vegetarian diet is to eat right otherwise to balance eating carbohydrates as eating protein, eating fat is not what to eat. Ah, but only a vegetable.

2011 Ford F-150 SuperCrew XL 4dr SuperCrew Styleside 5.5 ft. SB (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
Do Not buy a Ford Ecoboost. My husband & I bought a 2011 Ford F150 Ecoboost we loved it so fun to drive, but 70k miles in we started having engine issues. Took it in to the dealer for them to tell me the timing chain was shot and it was a $4k fix with no guarantee that it would fix the problem. A quick google search of this vehicle and I was shocked to see we were not the only one with this same exact issue. There are YouTube videos and forums galore about this engine issue and No recalls from Ford. We got rid of it yesterday before it left us broke and on the side of the road. I won't be returning to a Ford anytime soon after that bad taste in my mouth.
Roomy cabin, comfortable seats, sleek finishes.
Engine issues
When its well its great! Purchased NEW, Doors clunk on rough road surfaces. Been adjusted at dealership 4 different times. Doors still clunking. Ford has NO solution and will not admit to the problem....numerious calls to Ford customer relations been stonewalled! They can't fix this in warantee but say NOW it can be fixed out of warantee if I pay for it! This is @%x#!!!. Timing chain "Death Rattle"... Ford say this won't hurt a thing till it breaks or jumps time and and destroys motor Ford ignored this in warantee but says it's a $2800 problem for me now it's out of warantee...Comfortable,fun truck to drive!! Oh, poor millage.. don't believe Ford's 22mph claim, it' more like 12 mpg!
Rides great, very comfortable. Will poke a hole in the wind when not in shop. Huge back seat. WILL PASS EVERY THING ON THE ROAD EXCEPT A GAS STATION.
Fix the Door alignment issue. Fix the timing chain stretch/ tensioner DEATH rattle issue. Get more miles out of a set of plugs! [now on set #4, just turned 70,000 highway miles]@ $340 per set installed at dealer all at my expense! Work on better MPG. No one driving one of these gets near the advertised mpg You claim. Try being More open with the public and addressing customer issues rather trying to cover up short comings with stonewalling techniques. Remember, We are Your customers! You are not OURS! We all have choices as to what brand we drive, I hope thatmine will again be a Ford!

Chinese pre-wedding customs
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Chinese. (September 2012) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Chinese pre-wedding customs are traditional Chinese rituals prescribed by the Book of Rites, the Book of Etiquette and Ceremonial (儀禮) and the Bai Hu Tong (白虎通) condensed into a series of rituals now known as the Three Letters and Six Rites (三書六禮).[1] Traditionally speaking, a wedding that incorporates all 6 rites is considered a complete wedding (大娶, dà qǔ).[2]
The six traditional rites involved in a Chinese wedding are as follows:[2]
- nacai (納采) - formal proposal
- wenming (問名) - giving of the eight characters of prospective bride to the groom's side
- naji (納吉) - placement of the eight characters at the ancestral altar to confirm compatibility
- nazheng (納徵) - sending of betrothal gifts to the bride and return gifts to the prospective groom
- qingqi (請期) - selection of an auspicious wedding date
- qinying (親迎) - wedding ceremony
Selection of dates[edit]
The first step is the selection of auspicious dates (看日子) for the Chinese wedding, the betrothal and the installation of the bridal bed. A Chinese monk or a temple fortune teller selects a suitable date based on the couple's birth dates and times. Some may also refer to the Chinese calendar or almanac for good days. Even numbered months and dates are preferred, and the lunar seventh month is avoided as it is the month of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
After the selection of the auspicious dates, wedding details such as types and quantities of betrothal gifts, reciprocal gifts, bride price (娉金), and number of tables at the wedding banquet provided by the groom's parents for the bride's parents' guests are settled.
Up to three months or earlier before the wedding day, the groom will deliver the betrothal gifts to the bride's family on an auspicious date.送
The betrothal (Chinese: 過大禮; pinyin: guo dàlǐ, also known as 納彩 or nàcǎi) is an important part of the Chinese wedding tradition. During this exchange, the groom's family presents the bride's family with betrothal gifts (called 聘礼 or pìnlǐ) to symbolize prosperity and good luck.[3] Moreover, the bride's family receives the bride price (Chinese: 娉金; pinyin: pīng jīn; literally: "abundant gold"[4]) in red envelopes. The bride's family also returns (回禮, huílǐ) a set of gifts to the groom's side.[5] Additionally, the bride's parents bestow a dowry (嫁妝, jiàzhuāng, kè-chng) to the bride.
The selection of betrothal gifts varies by the ancestral regions of the bride and groom.[6] In cases of intermarriage between various Chinese dialect speakers, brides typically follow the groom's ancestral traditions, not the other way around.[7]
The gifts are often in even number for the meaning of in couple and in pairs. Food items given to the bride include wine, oranges, and tea; while jewelry for the bride includes gold earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings.[8] In some regions, they are also combined with some local food, such as peanuts and dates (in Chinese, the word for "date" is a near homonym of "early", while "peanut" is "birth"). This is normally presented on the wedding day, with the wishes of giving birth to a child early in the marriage. Candles and paper cut "Double Happiness" are often seen on a wedding day as well.
The bride price, which is given by the groom's family to the bride's family, varies from region to region. In Southern China, the bride price is much higher than in Northern China.
After the betrothal gifts and bride price are negotiated and given, the families select a special date for the wedding. The wedding date is announced via invitations about a month earlier, and the invitations are distributed to the friends and relatives about one or two weeks before the wedding day.
Cantonese traditions[edit]
During the wedding rituals, Cantonese brides invariably don a highly embroidered red silk dress called the 裙褂 [kwàhn kwáa], consisting of a petticoat adorned with the images of a dragon (龍 [lùhng]) and a phoenix (鳳 [fuhng]) and a long skirt.[9][10]
A hair combing ceremony (see description below) is performed.
In addition, the groom is expected to give a pair of matching—most commonly made of gold—dragon and phoenix bracelets (龍鳳鈪 [lùhng fuhng ngáak]) to the bride, to be worn during the wedding festivities.[11] The dragon and phoenix motif symbolize a blissful union, as described by the Chinese phrase 龍鳳配 [lùhng fuhng pui] (a union of the dragon and phoenix).
On the third day following the wedding, the newlywed bride's first return visit to her family home after marriage is called 歸寧 [gwài nìhng]. A whole roasted pig is presented to the bride's family, who customarily will keep the pig's body and return the pig's head and legs, along with other gifts.[6] Traditionally, a perfect roast pig was offered as a sign of the bride's virginity.[12]
Hokkien traditions[edit]
In the Hokkien dialect, the betrothal rite is known as sang jit-thau (送日頭, sàng-ji̍t-thâu) or its abbreviated form sang jit.[13]
Betrothal gifts unique to the Hokkien include pig trotters and rice candies.[3] Household items are also given to the bride, symbolic of the duties she will assume as wife.[6]
Among the most important return gifts for the Hokkien is a set of silver coins called yuánqián (緣錢) or dà yuán (大緣) and xiǎo yuán (小緣), given by the bride to the groom's siblings.[11]
A Hokkien tradition is for the bride's family to offer a spittoon replete with red dates, dried longans and lotus seeds, along with other sweets, sealed with red paper, as part of the dowry.[14]
On the day of the wedding, the bride's mother is presented with an uncooked pork leg, to show gratitude for her caretaking.[11]
The Hokkien traditionally incorporate sugarcane as a motif during wedding celebrations for protection; it is tied to the doorpost of the doorpost of the couple's home and to the bridal carriage.[15] This practice stems from a traditional legend in which Hokkiens were spared from a massacre by a Song dynasty emperor by hiding in sugarcane fields.[15] Sugarcane also features a prominent role during the ninth day of Chinese New Year celebrations (marking the Jade Emperor's birthday).[16]
During the eve of the wedding ceremony, Hokkien families pay respects to the Jade Emperor, called in Thiⁿ-kong Hokkien (天公, lit. Lord of Heaven), to seek his protection.[6] Six food dishes and five kinds of fruit are offered as well.
Teochew traditions[edit]
The foremost Teochew betrothal gift is the sì diǎnjīn (四點金), four pieces of jewelry including a gold necklace, a pendant, a pair of earrings and a bangle selected by a groom's mother and presented to the bride during the tea ceremony.[11][17] Since sì diǎnjīn is also the name of a traditional Chinese architectural style, a four-pointed curved roof found in traditional homes, the jewelry symbolizes a blissful union in a secure home.[17]
The Teochew also give flaky pastries similar to hopia, as well as peanut candies.[3][11] If the bride's grandmother is still alive, pastries called laoma gao (老嬷糕) are offered to her.[8]
Delivery of the bride's dowry[edit]
The bride's parents may include the bride's dowry (嫁妆, jiàzhuāng) with the return gifts on the day of betrothal or deliver the dowry a few days before the wedding. Chinese dowry typically includes:
- beddings (e.g. pillows, bolsters, comforter set, blankets, bed sheets)
- new clothes for the bride in a suitcase (in the past, wardrobes or wooden wedding chests were used)
- tea set for the wedding's tea ceremony
- a spittoon of baby items (子孙桶, including baby bathtub, potty, face washbasin, tumblers, toothpaste and toothbrushes, mirror, comb)
- two pairs of red wooden clogs, wedding slippers or bedroom slippers
- a sewing basket (with even numbered rolls of colourful thread, needles, pincushion, scissors, and sewing wax with auspicious words on it)
- gold jewellery given by bride's parents
Installation of the bridal bed[edit]
Another ritual is the installation of the bridal bed (安床, ān chuáng). At an auspicious date and time, a woman of good fortune installs the bridal bed in the bridal room. New red or pink bedsheets are used and a plate of dried longans, lotus seeds, red dates, persimmons, sprig of pomegranate leaves together with 2 red packets are placed on the bed. A pair of bedside lamps (子孙登) is lit to symbolize the addition of sons to the family.
Hair combing ceremony[edit]
A hair combing ceremony (梳頭 [sò tàuh]) is also conducted on the eve of the wedding. After showering with water infused with pomelo or pomegranate leaves, the bride and groom change into a new set of clothing and shoes. Attending female family members bless them aloud as they sit in front of an open window with the visible moon or in front of the mirror.
The four blessings are:
- 一梳、梳到尾、[yàt sò sò dou méih] (First combing, blessed to be together to the end,)
- 二梳、百年好合、[yih sò baak nìhn hóu hahp] (Second combing, blessings for a hundred years of harmony in your marriage,)
- 三梳、子孫滿堂、[sàam sò jí syùn múhn tòhng] (Third combing, be blessed with a houseful of children and grandchildren)
- 四梳、白發齊眉、[sei sò baahk faat chàih mèih] (Fourth combing, be blessed with longevity)
A sweet dessert soup containing pink glutinous-rice spherical dumplings called 湯圓 tòng yùhn is served after the hair combing ceremony to wish the couple a complete and sweet marriage.
Chinese wedding decorations 大喜装饰[edit]
Double joy (双喜) stickers will be placed on all wedding items such as the betrothal gifts, dowry, the couple's toiletries and cosmetics. The bridal room furniture, especially the mirror and cupboards, will also be decorated with double joy or other wedding paper cutouts such as pairs of mandarin ducks, dragon and phoenix, etc. Similar red wedding paper cutouts will also be put up on the main door, bridal room door and generally around the house.
A red banner (红彩帘) will be hung across the front doors of the two household to announce the joyous event.
Even for countries like Singapore, the Chinese who get married also have such double joy (双喜) stickers as well as all of the traditional Chinese cultures just like in China.[18] Chinese couples in multi-racial countries like Singapore also keep to their own Teochew, Hokkien or Cantonese traditions depending on their dialect.

DirecTV Latin America CEO Unveils Transformative Broadband Strategy
[Satellite News 07-18-12] DirecTV Latin America (DTVLA) is looking to transform into a key regional broadband player, according to DTVLA CEO Bruce Churchill, who believes there is a strong opportunity for the company after Sky Brazil, in which it has an over 90 percent s stake, launched a 4G wireless network based on TD-LTE technology.
"The state of broadband development in Latin America is in a much different place than it is in the United States today," Churchill told Satellite News. "Broadband penetration in somewhere like Brazil and I am talking about penetration in the home, the penetration is around 30 percent in Brazil. Even then, the quality of the service is not high. When living in United States, you think of speeds from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. That is simply not available in Brazil. When people talk about broadband in Brazil, they are talking of speeds of around 512 Kbps. The speeds and the quality of the service is much lower, even if the company advertise services of up to 3 Mbps, you may only get half of that when you want to use it in the evening."
Churchill believes such a product is a natural complement to pay-TV. "The profile of people who subscribe to pay-TV are probably very similar to those who subscribe to broadband," he said. "It is our plan to develop a service that actually delivers what we promise. So, it will be wireless to the home, and we will be selling speeds of 2 Mbps to 4 Mbps, at least initially. We will bundle it with our pay-TV product and at a slight discount, and we will see how that goes."
DTVLA has been one of the big success stories in recent years, as the regional operator continues to add huge amount of subscribers across its operations. The company added around three million subscribers across all of its platforms in Latin America in 2011.
In terms of this wireless broadband service, the operator conducted a test that lasted about a year in Argentina, and is getting ready to ramp up its activities in Brazil. Churchill outlined the company's plans for Brazil. "We have just launched in Brazil in January," he said. "It is in its early days. We are just finishing out completing the network in that city. We have spectrum holdings that cover a little less than 20 percent of the GDP in Brazil. We would be looking to roll out this service in four to five more cities this year in Brazil. So, it is not an instantaneous nationwide rollout. It is something we will rollout over time. I think there is an overlap with the customers we have and the customers that could subscribe to broadband. It is more a function of our ability to get spectrum."
It will be interesting to see what impact satellite broadband could have in the region. With a number of Ka-band satellites such as ViaSat-1 (ViaSat) and Ka-Sat (Eutelsat) now launched, the focus is whether satellite broadband could carve a niche in markets such as Europe and North America.
Satmex CEO Patricio Northland told Satellite News that he has no doubt that Ka-band will find a healthy place in the Latin American market.
"If you observe the various business cities in the Latin American region, many of these urban centers are spread out in a large area of several miles radius which will create a huge opportunity for offering high speed internet directly to its end users versus the traditional ADSL or cable Internet services," said Northland. " I expect both retail and business customers to be willing to pay a slight premium over terrestrial Internet services when the product offerings give a much higher internet high speed over terrestrial networks There is no doubt in my mind that the prospects for Ka-band are tremendous in the region."
Churchill, however, believes Ka-band is much more expensive than wireless or fixed line broadband and limited in its ability to deliver comparable speeds. "I think Ka-band tends to be limited to those areas where there is no viable alternative," he said. "Certainly, in the United States, there are very few areas like that left now. There are big parts of Latin America, where there won't be terrestrial or wireless broadband anytime soon. The amount of people that could afford a relatively expensive broadband product is somewhat speculative. I think there is a place for it, but I don't see it being a big solution here."

Cliff Floyd returns from stint away to lift Chicago Cubs to 5-1 win over San Francisco Giants
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Lou Piniella pulled Cliff Floyd aside before the game and reminded the slugger of his importance to the Chicago Cubs' playoff hopes.
Floyd had been away from the team for nine days dealing with the death of his father, then found his rhythm in a hurry.
Floyd hit a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning, when the Cubs rallied against Tim Lincecum for a 5-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night, to remain tied for the lead in the NL Central.
"I can't really explain, except it felt like he was inside me," Floyd said of his late father, Cornelius, who died of a stroke. "I've never felt that before. Coming back and helping the team my first game is a great feeling. Usually I get a little anxious. For some reason today I felt really calm."
Lincecum (7-4) was three outs from his first career complete game when the Cubs finally got to the rookie right-hander. Ryan Theriot doubled to start the ninth, Jacque Jones followed with a base hit before Derrek Lee's RBI single tied the game at 1.
Two batters later, Floyd singled off Brad Hennessey to put Chicago up 3-1.
"Floyd gets a big hit," Piniella said. "Cliff had to really feel good about that. I'm happy for him. It should lift his spirits. I told him before the game, 'Cliff, we need you."'
Scott Eyre (1-1) pitched the eighth for the win against his old team. Jason Kendall added a two-run single later in the ninth off Steve Kline for the Cubs. Chicago began its six-game West Coast trip with a hard-fought win and stayed even with the Brewers, who won 7-4 at Arizona.
"It's a big win, what can I say?" Piniella said. "We did our part."
Lincecum, like Floyd, had been on the bereavement list. He came off a four-day stint away from his team and dazzled for most of the night. Lincecum had allowed only a pair of singles before Lee's hit ended his night in frustrating fashion—though he still left to a standing ovation.
"We were eight-ninths not in business," Piniella said. "That ninth-ninth we were. That's the one that counts. It takes one-ninth."
Not only did the defeat cost Lincecum a victory, the last-place Giants saw their longest winning streak since an eight-game run from April 18-26 end at five.
Ryan Klesko's RBI groundout in the first put San Francisco ahead, then Lincecum did his job. He struck out seven and walked one in a 93-pitch performance. Still emotional after a death in his family, Lincecum opted not to talk about his outing after the game.
Barry Bonds, who has a record 760 home runs, returned to the lineup after two days off. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout and his 37th intentional walk, his 122nd overall.
"Come on, Lou!" one man yelled at Piniella when Bonds was walked in the first inning.
Kendall, the Cubs' No. 8 hitter, reached base twice against Lincecum, with a single to start the sixth and a two-out walk in the eighth. Mark DeRosa singled in the second.
Lincecum had thrown only 43 pitches through four innings, 32 for strikes— making quite an impression in only his 20th big league start. He had a no-decision at Wrigley Field on July 16 in his only other matchup with the Cubs.
"We had a lead in the ninth and what a game our kid was pitching," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "They got the hits, though. What a way to lose a game. He pitched great. He just got some balls up in the ninth and they took advantage. We might have been a little hyped up there—it was his first situation in the ninth up here."
Floyd had been 0-for-3 before his clutch hit in the ninth.
Cubs starter Jason Marquis had won his last two starts, but this time the right-hander went seven innings—the first time he'd gone longer than 6 2-3 innings since beating Arizona on July 20. He struck out five and walked five, two intentional, allowing three hits and one run.
Eyre told Marquis the victory was all his.
"I got a vulture win," Eyre said. "The way Timmy was pitching, it was kind of fun to watch."
Omar Vizquel hit his second triple of the season in the seventh.
Dave Roberts stole his 25th base in the seventh. His steals are the most by a Giant since Marvin Benard had 27 in 1999. … To make room for Lincecum, the Giants placed RHP Russ Ortiz on the DL for the third time this year. He has a torn tendon in his elbow that likely will sideline him the rest of the season and it might require surgery. … The Cubs have scheduled their makeup game of Sunday's postponed home contest with the St. Louis Cardinals for Sept. 10 at Wrigley Field. … The Giants drew 41,242 fans for their 36th sellout and 20th in a row.
- Chen, Royals too tough for White Sox
- Nationals hold off Giants' rally in 9th in 4-2 win
- Diaz's homer helps Cardinals beat Marlins and Fernandez, 5-4
- Cubs activate Coghlan from DL, option La Stella
- Kepler homers to lead Twins in 6-2 win over Orioles

Long-term effectiveness of rubella vaccination in childhood is of particular importance because the ultimate goal of immunization is the prevention of infection during pregnancy. To determine how well vaccine-induced immunity persists in comparison to that acquired naturally, several hundred susceptible children who seroconverted after receiving HPV77DE5 vaccine were followed serologically over a 3-to-5-year period. The results indicate that vaccine-induced antibodies are less stable than those acquired through natural infection, and their persistence is closely related to the original response to immunization. Thus children who responded with a broad range of antibody types and who had brisk postvaccinal hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody titers of ≥ 1:64, maintained such levels without significant decline. In contrast, among the children who had feeble hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody responses initially and failed to develop complement-fixing or precipitating antibodies, a significant proportion lost detectable hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody levels after 3 to 5 years. The current and future immunity of such children is therefore in doubt, unless natural reinfection with wild rubella virus or revaccination with a more effective vaccine corrects their antibody deficiencies.

46 year old woman | Ridgeland, MS, United States | Seeking men 35-50 within 250 miles
Live, Love, Laugh...
You can trust me with your deepest thoughts, concerns, or secrets. I am a professional woman who realizes my job is what I do, not who I am... I am my own person and usually do things my own way despite what others think. I'm not the "in crowd" type of woman. I spend most of my time working out, working. I prefer a quiet evening of cocktails and conversation rather than being seen. Occasionally, I like to dance and show my sexy side. If you are looking for loyalty, I am the women you need in your life. I want a true friend outside of the romance and a man who will let me be the woman I am. He must make me laugh and realize that life is not always so serious! I love a professional man, who can keep it real outside of the office. He must not be a mama's boy (they do exist after the age of 40). One thing I find attractive and respect in a man is his strength and that he knows how to be man, stand his ground and put his foot down when necessary (Leadership skills), but yet has a kind, humble heart. Things I can't live without are, a great male friend, the gym, and my concealer... just being honest!. Not the typical 40 year old. I believe in working out (running and weight lifting) eating healthy and staying fit. I look forward to meeting that special someone even if it's only for a great friendship. FYI: Bisexual men need not apply...
