ISA gives me the chance to work with science and engineering students in my community. Each year, my section presents an award to a middle school team in the area who compete in a national engineering competition. I feel it's my responsibility to encourage young people to explore careers in automation and engineering.
-Peter Baker, ISA Twin Cities Section member
ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
ISA certification provides an objective, third-party assessment and confirmation of a person's skills, and gives them the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and be recognized. ISA currently offers two certification programs: Certified Automation Professional® (CAP®) and Certified Control Systems Technician® (CCST®).
Certification is a formal recognition of individuals who have demonstrated proficiency within, and comprehension of, a specialized body of knowledge at a particular point in time. Generally, qualification criteria for such programs include specific requirements of education, experience, and examination. Certification is not a license to practice.
ISA's certification programs
Working in process automation and manufacturing
automation industries around the globe, CAPs are responsible for the direction,
definition, design, development/application, deployment, documentation, and
support of systems, software, and equipment used in control systems,
manufacturing information systems, systems integration, and operational
consulting. CAPs are an elite group of automation professionals that have
proven they possess an extensive knowledge of automation and controls. CAPs
have documented evidence that they possess the expertise and qualifications to
excel in their fields
Working in dozens of different industries worldwide, CCSTs
calibrate, document, troubleshoot, and repair/replace instrumentation for
systems that measure and control level, temperature, pressure, flow, and other
process variables. Many companies prefer candidates with a CCST certification
because they can trust their documented knowledge of automation and control
ISA's recognition programs offer students and professionals new to the field an opportunity to be recognized for knowledge, skills, and interest in automation careers. These programs serve as a great introduction to an eventual certification and can offer applicants a way to stand out from the crowd while gaining the experience required for a CAP® or CCST® certification. ISA offers two recognition programs:
ISA supports the Control Systems Engineer (CSE) License, a
specialized Professional Engineering (PE) license recognized in the United
States for engineers in automation and control. ISA offers training courses and review materials to help engineers prepare for the exams, which are offered by state boards in
the US in October of each year.
ISA has developed several certificate programs designed to increase knowledge and awareness of ISA's industry-renowned safety
and cybersecurity standards.
The Certified Industrial Maintenance Mechanic (CIMM)
certification program has been transferred to the Society for Maintenance and
Reliability Professionals and is now referred to as CMRT.

Transmission radii and packet size have great impacts on the efficiency of network-wide flooding, which is a crucial operation in the design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and is frequently used in many applications and network protocols in WSNs. Inappropriate settings of these parameters may cause flooding operations consume excessive energy and network bandwidth and degrade the network performance. To achieve efficient flooding, in this paper, we present an bi-level programming model for WSNs, with the two objectives: First, establish how transmission radii affects the average network settling time, which is defined as the period from the time when the source broadcasts a packet to the time when all the network nodes have retransmitted the packet; Second, derive how the packet size affects energy use efficiency. Analytical and numerical results are given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed model.

Cacher of the Month - April 2007
- What was it about geocaching that got you hooked into the game?
I learned about Geocaching by reading an Air Canada inflight magazine article. It sounded really cool. I mentioned it to a friend a little while later and he mentioned he had a GPS. I borrowed and eventually bought it from him (a Magellan Meridian). I played with that thing for months before finding my first cache. When I finally ventured out to find one, it was Everything Cats, by Damgiz. I couldn't go and get one that was a few hundred metres from my house. No. I had to travel to Nopiming Provincial Park. I'm glad I did. Finding something like an ammo can in a natural setting like that was probably a catalyst in grabbing my interest. If I had simply found a altoids tin on a picnic table with a drippy logbook, I may not have been as interested. Being out there in the forest, part of that secret, was intoxicating. I knew I was hooked. Duracell stock has risen dramatically since that day.

A person who displays aloofness in the presense of inferior beings.
Everyone hates a snob, because everyone knows a snob is better than them... and as Nietzsche wrote, virtue itself is offensive.
by cjwright79 August 11, 2006
originated when cruises to america were popular (think titanic) all of the "upper-calss" people would go Port. Out. Starboard. Back. Basically because this side had the nicest views.
now a good word to describe those who word lick their own ass before touching someone who they think is below them.

Silly nigger on a bike
That snob thinks he's hot shit riding around through Syracuse on his huffy.
by Christopher Ailsby July 10, 2008
A snob is a person that acts as if he or she is superior than you and would not care to hurt your feelings by making you feel inferior with whatever excuse they can find such us wealth, fashion, taste, knowledge, you name it. They make you feel bad with yourself and are convinced that is a cool thing to do because they think you should learn what they are talking about because they get it better that you, they diserve it you dont, they belong you dont, they are smarter you dont, they are the last coca cola in the desert. In short: if hells exists, it is full of snobs that will spend eternity snobing each other.
Since her ex friend looks younger than her, she couldn't help snobing her by saying her exfriend dresses as a teenager.

Arts Can't Visit the Maryhill Double?
Jen Graves's piece about the Maryhill Double, by the geniuses that compose Lead Pencil Studio, is great: Read it here.
While I was editing her piece, I discovered that the Capitol Hill mansion built by Sam Hill in 1910 is actually for sale. It's obviously no substitute, but if you can't make it to north Oregon to visit the Maryhill Museum and its double, maybe you can find consolation on Highland Dr. (And if you look especially fancy, perhaps you can cop an open house? There's a really sweet Louis XIV fireplace in the living room.)
Here's the Maryhill Double:

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

On the advice of everyone out there I installed www.newsgator.com to use for posting and reading my news even though I had been using www.intravnews.com. Well now I'm in a quandary since many of the news sites that I read only appear to post the top line of the story and in newsgator that's all I get. But when I use intravnews, I get the top-line above followed by the entire HTML of the page as if it had been stripped off by the browser. So in that fashion I could read the entire article w/ a bit of scrolling. Granted it's not the most usable way to do it, but it saves clicking on a link and then having to wait for the page to render to read it in the browser.
So what am I to do now? Unless I missed a configuration option for newsgator, I guess I'm going to uninstall it. So now I'm back to where I was in that I want an offline client for publishing to a .text blog. Otherwise I'd have both newsgator and intravnews both of which appear to use quite a bit of system resources and sometime appear to make Outlook slow down greatly. Anyone have some new choices?
I do hear that Blogger has lots of cool tools and utilities supposedly to make this simple. There was even an article today in the NYT personal technology section (speaking of timing).
So for those who have far more experience than I, how do I have my cake and eat it too?

British Soul Singers Lovingly Revive a Genre
Music Heard in the Piece
Joss Stone - "Some Kind Of Wonderful"
Corinne Bailey Rae - "Put Your Records On"
James Morrison - "Call The Police"
Terri Walker - "I Am"
The British have had a long love affair with American soul music.
The Motown and Stax labels were popular in the London clubs of the 1960s, while "rare grooves," or obscure singles, were fuel for the Northern Soul movement of the 1970s and 1980s.
These days, the British are making their own soul music, and doing it very successfully.
The recent wave began in 2003, with the teenager Joss Stone. She emerged with a voice far beyond her years and a natural, eerie affinity for vintage soul. But what no one imagined was that she was simply paving the way for a wave of British soul singers, like Corinne Bailey Rae.
Aside from the big commercial successes, there is also a burgeoning underground scene centered around the monthly Soul Family club night in London.
Terri Walker is an emerging name in that crowd. Her third album, I Am, has a lovely retro sizzle that's funky and liberatingly heartfelt. When she sings, you feel she's lived every joy and heartbreak, and isn't afraid of them.
Maybe that's why we love soul so much: It expresses the passion that our British reserve generally keeps inside.
Or perhaps the music has a resonance that goes beyond most pop. Or maybe it's just one of those inexplicable fatal attractions.
Whatever the reason, soul is back, and the Brits are doing it.

This research tests a model of employee helping behavior (a component of Organizational Citizenship Behavior, OCB) that involves a direct path (Intrinsic Motives → Helping Behavior, the Good Samaritan Effect) and an indirect path (the Love of Money → Extrinsic Motives → Helping Behavior). Results for the full sample supported the Good Samaritan Effect. Further, the love of money was positively related to extrinsic motives that were negatively related with helping behavior. We tested the model across four cultures (the USA., Taiwan, Poland, and Egypt). The Good Samaritan Effect was significant for all four countries. For the indirect path, the first part was significant for all countries, except Egypt, whereas the second part was significant for Poland only. For Poland, the indirect path was significant and positive. The love of money may cause one to help in one culture (Poland) but not to help in others. Results were discussed in the light of ethical decision making.

A team of Oyster reporters spent weeks exploring 40 hotels in Jamaica. We slept in the beds, lounged by the pools, ate in the restaurants, and even sampled the nightlife, all with an eye toward selecting the most distinguished properties. Here's a list of our favorite hotels for a party-hearty spring break -- places with great beaches, free-flowing booze, a party atmosphere and fun activities.
Negril is a nonstop party during spring break, and Negril Tree House has a prime location in the heart of the action -- right on Seven Mile Beach and next door to great bars and restaurants. It's not an all-inclusive, but with so many nightlife options to explore around town, you'll be glad for the flexibility. The large, rustic rooms rooms have great balconies and hammocks, and guests only have to step outside to feel sand beneath their toes.
For an upbeat all-you-can-drink mega-resort, the fresh-built Iberostar destroys the competition -- better food, liquor, service, and activities for less cash. The energetic Star Friends team leads daily games at the beach and pool, knowledgeable bartenders make strong drinks with recognizeable liquor brands (and sometimes have secret, signature drinks like Andre's "Andre the Giant"), and water sports, including kayaking, parasailing, and even Scuba tours, are free. The beach has long stretches of soft, white sand, shade from low-lying palms, and full drink service by the water. The Montego Bay airport, and the bars and clubs on Montego Bay's hip strip, are about a 20-minute cab ride away. Keep in mind, though, that Rose Hall tends to draw families as well as partiers, and that this Iberostar allows a maximum of two adults per room -- which could significantly affect the price of your stay.
A friendly resort with a mellow beach, free minibars, and a surprisingly solid buffet -- the Riu Negril is a great value. Rooms aren't spectacular, and many activities require a long walk across the sprawling resort, but most guests are sold once they join revelers on the dance floor.
Across the street from the beach, the upscale Sunset has a warm, helpful staff, intimate setting, and great food. In the off season this relaxing Bali-style retreat is a far cry from the crowded chaos at most all-inclusives, but during spring break season in Negril, chances are things will be a little rowdier.
There's no pool, lobby, or dazzling features, but Catcha's quaint cliffside huts come with warm service, open-air showers, breathtaking sunsets, comfortable beds and simple homemade cuisine. Most guests are too focused on the blissful setting to notice the grainy TV reception or absence of a phone. There's no beach, but Rick's Cafe and other party spots are within walking distance.
A brand-new mega-resort, the Grand Palladium feels like a shopping mall but is expansive enough for a range of travelers -- whether they're seeking privacy, romance, or fun. It has five pools, large rooms, name-brand liquor, tasty breakfasts, mini-golf, and more -- all for lower rates than lesser-equipped all-inclusives. Spring breakers choosing between the Grand Palladium's two, mostly interchangeable resorts -- the Lady Hamilton and the Jamaica -- might want to opt for the more adult Lady Hamilton, which has a topless pool and beach.
Just opened in September 2008, the still-sparkling Riu all-inclusive mega-resort provides ample and eclectic food, name-brand liquor, a great beach, a 24-hour sports bar, a huge pool, a modern gym, a free liquor-stocked minibar, and an array of water sports. Spring breakers won't be bored at this bustling, noisy property.

I was just thinking that maybe in the entertainment section there should be a thread called General Movie Discussion because, in almost every thread about a movie, it always gets off topic about another movie or something along those lines. And I mean for older movies. Not newer ones because that would just get way to cluttered and big. I mean maybe if someone just saw an older flick or wants to see one, they can post in there to ask for others opinions or to submit their own. Just thinking this could be a good idea to keep other threads from going off topic and to maybe keep the useless movie threads that only get 1 or 2 post, or sometimes none from being made and cluttering the forum.
Just a thought. What do you guys think?

I was intrigued for the idea of a darknet, as seen all over certain reddit subreddits, and was developed an idea in my head that I need some help to figure out.
Is it possible to set up an ad-hoc network with wireless signal extenders so that every computer on that ad-hoc network can share files with one another without use of the Internet?
Is it possible to do such a thing using solar-powered weather proof routers turned into signal extenders? I want to try to make small extenders and start the network from my dorm room using a desktop, then try to extend across my quad to a dorm building on the other side using routers I can leave hidden outside that will power themselves.

Reviews - What do customers think about NASB Smallest Pocket Bible-Burgundy Bond?
|How did they cram the whole Bible into such a tiny book? Nov 9, 2006
|I used to carry a pocket New Testament. My new MASB Pocket Bible is slightly smaller and fits into the same pocket in my purse. Maybe a zipper would have been nice, but this zipperless Bible works just fine for me.
|No Zipper Dudes! But a great handy Bible. Jul 23, 2006
|I bought this based on a person's review in this site which said it was encased in a nice zippered pouch. It's not. He's getting it confused with this site item #0529101297, "Smallest Pocket Bible". I've purchased several of those (make great graduation or missionary gifts) for only about $3.00 more It's bascially the same Bible as this, but it comes fully encased in a zippered leather case. Travels better. It's NASB as well.
|small, compact and light Feb 13, 2006
|Perhaps one of the smallest, lightest Bibles I have ever owned - or seen. Because I have arthritis in my feet and my lower back and have to pack my purse lightly, this makes my life a lot easier. The downside is the small font - if you suffer from motion sickness or dizziness, read on car trips, train rides, and turbulant planes at your own risk. The print is clear, but a capital M still fits within 1/16th of an inch. But you win some, you lose some; I'm happy to finally own such a light, compact Bible, and an NASB to boot. As a seminary student, I've been told the NASB has the best English translation of the Old Testament.
|Awesome Bible to keep with you Oct 20, 2005
|This Bible is awesome. I have purchased for several friends. I have one almost a year old with lots of usage and holds up like new. Definately worth the money and will pay off in expanding God's eternal Kingdom.
|Excellent Jul 31, 2005
|I'm very pleased with this Bible -- the size is literally pocket-sized, something you could keep easily in your jeans, and yet the type is easy to read. The translation (NASB) I find especially good; words of Jesus in red.
This makes a great gift, as well as a great tool for anybody wanting to be in the Scriptures 24/7.

Toriniku Tatsuta-Age~Japanese Style Deep-Fried Chicken Nuggets
This is Toriniku Tatsuta-Age, or Japanese style deep-fried chicken nuggets. The chicken nugget is moist, tender and pairs beautifully with the Japanese style mayonnaise that I had posted earlier.
Toriniku Tatsuta-Age~Japanese Style Deep-Fried Chicken Nuggets
550 to 600 g Boneless Chicken Thighs (skin or skinless)
2 Tbsp Soy sauce
1 Tbsp Sake
1 Tbsp Mirin
2-½ tsp Ginger Juice
1 tsp Vegetable Oil
1 Egg White
100 to 120 g Potato Starch
Vegetable Oil for deep-frying
Cut each piece of chicken into bite-sized or about 1 ½ inches pieces. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger juice, and 1 Tbsp vegetable oil. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oil to 340˚F/170˚C in a wok or deep fryer.
Add egg white to the chicken and mix well. Coat the chicken pieces with potato starch. Deep-fry a few pieces of chicken at a time until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Serve hot or warm with Japanese style mayonnaise.

Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon sees a lot of himself in rookie righthander Ken Giles.
Papelbon was once among the hardest-throwing relievers in baseball, averaging 13 strikeouts per nine innings for the 2007 World Series champion Boston Red Sox.
He's operating more on experience than velocity these days, but Papelbon appreciates the buzz that Giles has created with his 100-m.p.h. fastball.
"He really does look like a young version of me," Papelbon said Sunday. "Instead of throwing a split, he throws a slider."
Little has gone right for the 49-63 Phillies this season, but at least Giles has created positive vibes.

I was disappointed in this product. My boyfriend did not like the product right away due to the size and shape of the condom. It seems to be Magnum sized. I was not happy with the extra ribbing at the base of the condom it caused too much friction and left me sore. Now we are going to donate them to a friend.

Better fit before you step up to a XL

Comments about Trojan Stimulations Latex Condoms, Ultra Smooth Lubricant Ecstasy, 10 ea:
Fits well, the "baggy" end is perfect for a thicker guy. While I prefer Magnums these are pretty good. The extra material on the end feels like going bareback.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Won't Buy Again.
By Unsatisfied Female
from Neptune, NJ
One breaking is not a big deal, but if they are all tested and one after another keeps breaking that's a problem!! I plan on writing the company and returning the 5 we didn't try to use. I would say it could be the wrong size if I didn't measure the regular (competitor brand) ones we use next to this condom. They are the same size.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very good
By Ashlb13
from Yuma, AZ
Everyone knows sex feels better without a condom; however, for a condom, these are great. My husband and I gave these a try just for the fun of it (we don't normally use condoms) and we were both surprised by this one. I could feel the lubrication on my end and didn't feel the normal feeling of rubber going in and out. My husband was actually able to finish with the condom, which normally he has ended up ripping it off to finish. I would definitely recommend this for a regular condom user.

I don't usually expect too much from specialty condoms but these delivered. Very stimulating! Both my boyfriend and I loved them

The condom was very large, it should be called XL. It had a lot of extra air inside. The ridges were not very comfortable.

Not impressed.

I would have to agree that these feel like a sandwich bag. My husband is not small by any stretch of the imagination, and they still felt baggy. They don't feel natural at all, they don't smell pleasant, and they were more distracting than they were pleasuring.

Careful: If He's Well Endowed
By c
from Brooklyn
My BF loves these condoms but he's already pretty well endowed and the ridges are a little 'cumbersome' if I haven't seen him in a while. Its strange because I actually really like the for her pleasure version. If you're in my situation you may want to introduce those before the regulars.

Be very careful! These things break very easily!
Almost Does What The Box Says
By Lost in the Sauce
from Virginia
Probably the best condom that I have used recently. Easy application - no "strangling" effect when putting it on. Very comfortable and well-lubricated.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
The site I am building has a slideshow in home page. When a banner is clicked it should open in a new window instead of the same. Where can i change the target for this?
I guess if I change this target it will be for all the slideshow images right? I think there is no way of defining some links to open in the same window and some in a new window…
The topic 'Slideshow link, how to open it in _blank?' is closed to new replies.

miti little compressor
Reviewed By Mcdaniel W (Pearl River, LA) Reviewed for a 2004 Honda Element —7/12/2016 6:35 AM
I got this compressor a couple of weeks ago and have used it 2 or 3 times. I'm impressed with its ability to air up low tires and I like the automatic shut off feature when you switch it to that feature. All in all I like it and will carry it with me in my truck for emergencies. Great little compressor!!
Very nice product, but pricey
Reviewed By John C (NORFOLK, VA) —5/17/2016 8:31 PM
I bought this to give me an easy way to keep my RV tires inflated. It is a nice sturdy compressor and worked great. The price is a bit high, but it has the power to fill up large high pressure tires. It would be nice if the unit was equipped to operate using either AC or DC power. RVgeeks has a nice video review of the unit on You Tube.

Hi there,
I am using different custom post types (car, bike, scooter), which works great. By standard they all use a shared running ID, so let's say I create:
car -> ID=1
car -> ID=2
Bike -> ID=3
Scooter -> ID=4
car -> ID=5
Bike -> ID=6
What I would like to achieve is another DB entry (post_type_ID) that logs the unique ID of the post type added. So the top example would become like this:
car -> ID=1 & post_type_ID=1
car -> ID=2 & post_type_ID=2
Bike -> ID=3 & post_type_ID=1
Scooter -> ID=4 & post_type_ID=1
car -> ID=5 & post_type_ID=3
Bike -> ID=6 & post_type_ID=2
Is there a way to do this with a function? I was thinking of counting the post types in the DB and then increasing that value by 1 and writing it to the DB on each post creation. Unfortunately I am crap at coding...
Or maybe that is total nonsense? Would it be better to have a column for each post type in the DB. car_ID, bike_ID, scooter_ID. Those values could be in the post_meta table.... Then at least all values are unique. Is there a way to grab the highest number in the DB of a column and increase it by 1? Sorry, rubbish at mySQL too.
Anyone else done anything like that or could help out?

I think Pantheon will fail just fine without us.
I disagree. We currently have them on terrorism cruise control. They live in a constant state of fear and believe at any moment we will strike. They willfully allow Brad to take their freedom away (bans, paid forums, legal threats) while we sit back and watch.
Everyone has to remove their shoes at the airport because of one undetonated shoebomb.
Some changes are going on right now with the project. The important thing is that Pantheon is alive. We are moving ahead now with development, just with fewer people and at a slower pace. We are continuing to reach out to potential investors, so we can bring the project to its next important phase: having enough $$ to have an office and to make team members actual employees.
Previously the team were contractors (and the Founding team members are stock holders) because of the cost and overhead of having employees. Our hope when we significantly grow the team next is that the funding will be there to make people full employees.
So for the next couple of months, development IS going to move forward, but at a much slower pace as we re-group. We will be bringing on some new talent, and hopefully the original team will be willing and able to help where they can as well.
In the interim, any donations made at this point until further notice will be going directly to maintaining the website during this phase and supporting part-time development efforts by a much smaller team.
The primary use of funding coming in now is to keep us and the web site afloat and to pay as much as we can (likely not a lot) to people who are able and willing to help us building the game for the next 1-2 months. We want 1 or more new zones we can show, in addition to the one we already have, to both the community and potential investors. We also feel it's very important that Lore continues to be written and supported. That is where the bulk of the money will go. Again, the rest for the web site, attorney's fees (writing up NDAs and such), and other incidentals.
Lastly, and many/most of you know this already, but we posted a LOT of screenshots and one rough video of Pantheon on the official Pantheon Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/pantheonrotf . This includes screenshots ranging from November 21, 2013 all the way to April 11th, 2014. We did this because we owe you, the community, and especially those who donated to this project, a detailed look at what we accomplished over that time period. If you haven't checked them out already, please do A more polished video is also in the works, probably 1-2 weeks away.
Pantheon lives on! This is a challenging time in the development process. But we and you have this dream, and that's to make Pantheon a reality, because we know in our hearts that this game needs to be made. We will get through this and I think things are getting better and more positive already. I am certainly commited to seeing this through.
Should Lore really be a top priority here?
In the three years I actively played WoW I think I read maybe two or three questlines. I did read the lore building up to WoW. That shit was gold.
Answers I got from two different interviews with Brad- These are direct answers from him and not my personal opinion. Hopefully some of this is new information, I believe it is.
The development- Looking for a Unity designer to further develop the demo. New Kickstarter or Indigogo attempt could be made if this demo gets polished. The goal of the new crowd funding would be to gain enough money to build more systems and get the product out to potential investors. Amount of the new project would be much smaller than the 800k original goal.
The money- It's widely agreed upon by all parties that this project took in roughly 145 thousand dollars. A large chunk of that money, 35k, came from a single individual who promised another couple hundred thousand once he cleared it with his trust. Brad was having personal problems at the time and needed to take a cash advance from the project. He took roughly three months pay in advance which equaled roughly 38% of the funds that were left. Brad thought the rest of the money would come in, but the trust supervisor declined without even looking into the project. Reason being, he didn't want to be sued if the start up failed. Brad admits that it was a mistake and wishes things worked out differently but the money is spent and there isn't anything he can do. He then went on to express that he was sorry for how it happened and is planning on liquidating personal assets to put the funds back into the project.
The past- Brad sees that many people are clamoring about the money he made before and why he is suddenly broke. He elaborated by saying, yes he made a lot of money with Everquest, but he also lost a great deal of money in the stock market in 2007. He went on to say that he has assets worth money, but no cash to his name.
The future- Going forward Brad is looking for talented video editors to make his raw footage look more appealing. I offered my services which would include getting my hands on the build itself and shooting my own footage. I hope he agrees to my terms, because I think I can get something nice out of it from what I've seen. The Unity developer is perhaps the most important step going forward. Without someone to make new zones, there is little to show off on a new kickstarter. Much attention is going towards this goal as well as continuing to find investors.
Fuck it I'm going to kick start my fish lure business. I need someone to have a radio show so I can interview

While there has been much emphasis over the last decade on the science of nanotechnology and on the implications and risks of potential applications, it is now timely to increase attention to the emerging dynamics of nanotechnology commercialization. This paper examines, from a global perspective, where and how corporations are entering into nanotechnology innovation. The paper tests the proposition that a significant shift has occurred in recent years in the orientation of corporate nanotechnology activities—from research discovery to patented applications. It also examines the extent to which the character and structure of corporate nanotechnology activity by country initially reflects national innovation system characteristics and prior public research funding inputs in the stage when discovery is most emphasized. The results indicate that national innovation systems characteristics are significant factors in the commercialization shift of nanotechnology and highlight the importance of innovation system policy factors. We also observe the influence of cross-border international invention linkages, suggesting that national innovation policies also need to be open and international in orientation.

Weintraub saves the day
Published: Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 8, 2010 at 11:01 a.m.
To The Editor: This year, when the state cut funds for a laboratory that tested Western North Carolina water, executive director David Weintraub of ECO promptly coordinated lab users and negotiated a volume-discount with another lab. This was enterprising and efficient. Important, too, since government officials are considering adding the French Broad to our county drinking water sources.
We need the lab-testing with its region-wide standard and scope at this time. I hope the Times-News will include David among the Laurels that it gives for helping our region and that our community will give extra support to this underfunded effort.

10 things to watch for on Oscars night
Predictions, guesses and other things to expect during this Sunday's telecast
86th Annual Academy Awards
With so many competitive races this year, the 86th Oscars may be one of the most interesting ones we've had in years.
Plus with so many style icons in attendance, it may also be the most glamorous red carpet, ever!
Let's take a look at what we can expect during Sunday's ceremony.
New red carpet darling
Thanks to her bold fashion choices, Lupita Nyong'o of "12 Years a Slave" has been turning heads all season.
Whether it's an elegant, caped red dress or this white body-conscious gown, the Best Supporting Actress nominee is the best thing to happen to Hollywood since Jennifer Lawrence.
Fun with Jennifer
Speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, the Best Supporting Actress nominee for "American Hustle," she makes plenty of fashion statements of her own, including this gown that tripped her up in front of the entire world.
She's also down to photo bomb Taylor Swift, talk about french fries and make dinosaur faces on camera. Yes, Lawrence is why most of us still watch awards shows.
Queen of the carpet
You'll never see Cate Blanchett settle for a safe Oscar gown.
Instead, the Best Actress nominee for "Blue Jasmine" chooses statement pieces by fashion-forward designers like Alexander McQueen, Lanvin and Peter Pilotto, making her the most glamorous person on the red carpet. Hands down.
The hostess
The Oscars have a recent history of iffy hosts, like last year's juvenile Seth MacFarlane and the horribly awkward Anne Hathaway/James Franco.
But this year the ceremony should be back in stable hands with Ellen DeGeneres. She hosted in 2007 and is likely to tell a few tasteful jokes, dance around and then just get things moving.
Mexican Best Director?
Alfonso Cuaron, director of "Gravity," has been winning Best Director trophies all over the place - from the Golden Globes to the Directors Guild.
But if he wins again on Sunday, and he's heavily favored to do so, it will be the first time the Oscar will go to a Mexican director. Orale!
Emotional In Memoriam
There were so many painful Hollywood losses over the last year.
With the deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman (pictured), Paul Walker, James Gandolfini, and most recently, Harold Ramis, expect an even more emotional than usual In Memoriam segment.
Oscar music
But if anyone can cheer us up, it's Broadway's Idina Menzel.
After months of listening to "Let it Go" on repeat you can finally see her perform the "Frozen" hit live. It may just be important enough to let the kids stay up late.
There will also live performances by Karen O, Pharrell Williams, U2 and Pink.
The Woody Allen effect
Because Woody Allen was honored at the Golden Globes, and because the Farrow family brought up his various sex scandals, and because both sides are publicly sparring, Allen's image has taken quite a beating.
Blanchett is said to be a lock to win for her role in Allen's "Blue Jasmine," and Sally Hawkins is up for Best Supporting Actress, but will their association with Allen hurt?
Oscar time for Leo?
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was most famously snubbed for his role in "Titanic," has been nominated for Best Actor four times but has yet to win an Oscar.
Though Matthew McConaughey is heavily favored, can Leo's charismatic performance in "The Wolf of Wall Street" give him the edge?
American Hustle acting shutout
Director David O. Russell's stylish film landed nominations in all four acting categories.
But it seems like the initial buzz is gone and it may not win any acting trophies, not just because of the heated competition, but also because Lawrence won for "Silver Linings Playbook" last year.
The 86th Academy Awards airs at 5:30 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
Red carpet coverage begins at 10:30 a.m. (!!) on E! and at 2 p.m. on KGTV Channel 10 and TV Guide Network. ABC's official red carpet show starts at 4 p.m.

We encourage and promote the breeding and exhibiting of quality Keeshonden which conform as closely as possible to the Official Canadian Breed Standard. We encourage members to breed dogs with structurally sound bodies, correct temperaments, and to try to eliminate all hereditary problems by judicious selection and appropriate testing of all breeding stock. We hope to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience, rally-o and agility trials.
Within this site we seek to educate Keeshond fanciers and judges alike, with the inclusion of educational articles, plus photographs of the top winning Keeshonden in Canada over the years.
For those of you looking for a Keeshond, please go to our Breeders page, which lists breeders by province.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or would like to contribute in any way please feel free to contact any of our Regional Directors or Executive members.
Join Us
Whether you are a lifetime advocate or new to the Keeshond breed, we invite you to join us. We welcome new ideas and value enthusiasm from members. Click here to be directed to the KCC application page.

Staten Island Chuck's Uninformed Prediction Is Preferable to Punxsutawney Phil's
The groundhogs disagreed this year.
Local famed rodent Staten Island Chuck spent the morning with Mayor Bloomberg and did not see his shadow, meaning spring is coming early, according to the arbitrary rules agreed upon by society. Chuck's more notable national counterpart, Pennsylvania's Punxatawney Phil, disagreed, calling for six more weeks of winter, but he is just a pawn anyway: "Phil's prediction is determined ahead of time by the Inner Circle, a group who dons top hats and tuxedos and decides in advance what the groundhog will predict."

Hi all! So, I picked up some WordPress theme designing again and I am trying to do something strange. I query for post IDs based upon the postmeta table, but now, using that ID, I want to get data from the post table.
$query = "SELECT post_id FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'foo' ";
$posts = $wpdb->get_results($query);
[...later continued with...]
foreach($posts as $post) {
[need to echo title from the post table belonging to the same post ID]
I could of course query the database again for the post ID but that seems rather an overkill. I guess there's an other way. So, is this possible and, if yes, how? It's probably just my lack of knowledge when it comes to sql-queries in php.

The "premium" product is beta quality at best. The developer is responsive to email requests for help, but their solutions involve requesting your FTP credentials, something I wasn't willing to provide to my live site because they should have been able to reproduce and correct the problems I reported in their own dev environment. The poor quality of the paid product didn't inspire any confidence on my part to give them access to high visibility site.
The responsive layouts, especially the masonry one, may be very good one day, but they have serious problems with the lightboxes. One gallery displayed squished up on the screen, another did strange things to the text case of the image captions and the color settings in the component are moot for all of them.
If they can get their lightbox issues resolved they might have a good product, but they get a big fat 0 from me for not giving me a refund when I asked for one.

Semi-Pro writer, former magazine publisher, programmer and private pilot. A little bit crazy but useful if you need that sort of thing.
I've been writing for as long as I've been able to write and I've even managed to sell a story or two. I usually stick with a more science fiction and fantasy setting, but I also like to experiment with other genres. Mystery is one I'm still working on, but it's coming along okay.

Hi there - I am wondering if anyone has any input on the best way to handle a our particular event set-up with this tool. There doesn't seem to be immediate support on this, but my example is as such:
The company I am working for offers a class which which runs for 4 weeks on Wednesdays only. Anyone interested in the class need only register once. But, my main question is how to make this look decent in the calendar? If I set it to start on date x and end 4 weeks later on date x, every day on the calendar looks occupied by the class since there is no way to assign a day of the week or make the event recurring for 4 weeks.
If anyone has any workarounds or ideas, it would be a huge help. Otherwise, I find this to be very easy to use and pretty great overall. Thanks!
