Canary Wharf Tenants Aim to Avoid Olympic Chaos, Guardian Says
Companies in London's Canary Wharf district are working with Olympic Games officials to avoid a standstill in business during the event next year as a result of possible transportation problems, the Guardian reported.
As much as 80 percent of workers in Canary Wharf's banks, law firms and accounting companies may arrange to stay away from the area or take vacation during the Games, which run from July 27 to Aug. 12, the newspaper reported today.
HSBC Holdings Plc, Britain's biggest bank, is among companies working with officials on alternative arrangements during the event, including having "the vast majority" of the bank's 8,500 London employees work from home or use other offices, the newspaper said.

A nice bit of kink for those who dig such things, featuring a first-rate gaggle of European honies who know how to dress up in bondage gear, but good. Gorgeous, blond Anastasia opens things up, particularly her poop chute, by hiding a hefty string of anal beads in said orifice before taking on two lucky cocksmen. The lady is quite a looker, decked out in vinyl and black stockings. For fans of good old fashioned pubic hair, prepare to begin drolling at foxy Federica's unshaven downstairs region.

Are there any good workers there ?
#2 Jun 23, 2010
yes there are some good workers there
#3 Jul 2, 2010
Well it sure isan't the so called Manager in the Pctn store. He apparently gets paid the big bucks because everyone else is doing his job making him look good. Everytime I have been in the store he is "socializing" up front with the female employees. The asst manager that has the hair full of hairspray is helpful but seems to always be stressed out. The red headed female manager is useless, she runs from us customers. The dark headed Manager that runs himself to death is very helpful and willing to go out of his way to help... The only problem is everyone else knows he will help and wants him to help them and he is always being called over the intercom for assistants needed somewhere else in the store. I have also noticed as far as the other employees throughout the store their work ethics depends on the manager there. I have always been greeted in front of the desk at tools by some nice heavy set young man, and a dark headed guy (Jim?) in pluming. Like any bussiness they need to just get rid of the ones that don't want to work or hide behind someone else to do their jobs.
#4 Jul 2, 2010
i do agree with that.....i am an employee at that store and i do work my a$$ off when i am there but it seems like no matter what i do i get the sh*t end of the deal but i still love my job and the customers i serve
#5 Jul 4, 2010
yeah i heard they were laying off alot of their workers. is that true?
United States
#6 Jul 4, 2010
Yes I heard that they laid off like 20 people due to a slump in sales.
#7 Jul 5, 2010
the lay off is not due to the sales its from where they hired so many in the spring and no one quit and also some of them had bad attitudes and no work ethic so thats the reason...we have had pretty good sales everyday
#8 Jul 13, 2010
I agree rascal but other than Philip the dark headed helpful manager and the Jim the assistant with all the hairspray(wich wouldn't be stressed if the Store manager Kevin did his own job) an a few select floor assiciates, they would have to shut it down because there would be no one to work if they fired the useless ones...
#9 Jul 13, 2010
The lay offs are due to the face that they get big bonuses for having a low pay roll... So they get rid of people... Keep pay roll down and get bonuses while the other employees are expected to pick up the slack and the customes suffer because you can only work a few people so many hours... You end up with departments with no coverage sometimes for the whole day and other people that don't have a clue about that department is expected to take care of thoes customers... But they can't because they don't know enough about the products to give the correct information...
#10 Jul 13, 2010
It is very difficult to get knowledgeable help at Lowes. If you do find someone to ask your question they are usually not sure and have to ask several others before they come up with a half ass answer to your question. Most visits to Lowe's that should take just a few minutes usually turns into at least an hour. Do the employees get any type of training in the departments they work in??? It seems like they just pick some inexperienced teenager and say ok you are in plumbing today and tomorrow you will be in electrical. How much do you think a teenager knows about pulumbing or electrical???
#11 Jul 13, 2010
the problem with lowe's, like many other big box retail stores is that they pay part-time and lower tier full-time associates so little, they cannot afford anyone with expereince or knowledge of home improvements. take a store like citizen's in bluefield and you'll see the type of expert assistance you receive from well trained and well compensated employees.
#12 Jul 13, 2010
I agree with you. I worked for Lowes for awhile and i was put into a department that i had no knowledge of. They did not ask me questions like do know anything about installation of windows( which i do). I loved the real bossed out there but it seemed like i was over worked and under paid. If i could have those same bosses in a better paying job, that would be great, but they just put you where they can when you are hired. I didnt like all the gossiping at Lowes either, it was ridiculous. I tried my best to help every customer that i could though. But the job wasnt for me. But i did like some of the people that work there and will do business, shop there in the future.
#13 Jul 14, 2010
I think they need a new commercial. Instead of putting a "T" at the end of the Lowe's sign to signify lowest prices they need to put an "S" at the front of it because they are extremely SLOW.
#14 Jul 14, 2010
God, that's an old one.
#15 Jul 14, 2010
It's a huge store and it's not only one person every hour wanting help. Most of the people there know what they are doing. I always go to the Princeton Lowes, the people there are friendly and polite and always ask me if I need help.
United States
#16 Jul 14, 2010
I love lowes, so much that I would fornicate with the big o on the sign if my man parts was big enough
#17 Jul 14, 2010
Why is it that during a forum some idiot like you has to post something childish and discusting.
United States
#18 Jul 15, 2010
because it's the Internet

I worked at this Lowe's and I loved the people I worked with, however the over all feeling of the employee's is that we do not get any support from our supervisors. Many do not enforce any type of rules and the store is like a bunch of kids running wild with no supervision. Some workers worked their butts off sometimes covering multiple depts while the other who actually were supposed to working those depts sat in the break room. Pretty much being employed there is like signing up for a dating show for some. I am glad to say I finished college so I could leave the madness. It all falls back on a store poorly ran by their manger.

Alleged ring thief faces new chargesDecember 10,2012
Alleged ring thief
faces new charges
BURLINGTON — A man who was charged last year after proposing with a $3,200 ring he allegedly stole from a jewelry store is in trouble again, charged with stealing jewelry, rare coins and other valuables from a residence.
Ryan Jarvis, 26, of Burlington is charged with breaking into a friend's home on Nov. 30 and taking $1,300 worth of merchandise.
WCAX-TV reported that a home surveillance camera allegedly caught Jarvis in the act.
Jarvis was charged last December for allegedly stealing a 1-carat diamond ring from a Zales jewelry store and then giving it to his girlfriend as an engagement ring. Investigators tracked him down after his fiancee posted a photo of the ring on Facebook.MORE IN This Just In

Euro-Region Consumer Confidence Declines More Than Estimated
European consumer confidence dropped more than economists forecast in December to the lowest in more than two years, adding to signs of a deepening economic slump in the 17-nation euro region.
An index of household sentiment in the single-currency area fell to minus 21.2 from minus 20.4 in November, the Brussels-based European Commission said in an initial estimate today. That's the lowest since August 2009. Economists had forecast a drop to minus 21, the median of 23 estimates in a Bloomberg survey showed.
Europe's economy is edging toward a recession as governments toughen budget cuts to contain the fiscal crisis, undermining consumer demand. Unemployment increased in October to the highest in more than a decade and L'Oreal SA, the world's largest cosmetics maker, said on Nov. 7 that consumer confidence is "weak and markets are proving difficult."
"The debt crisis will determine the development of consumer spending well into 2012," said Jens Kramer, an economist at NordLB in Hanover, Germany. "People are worried and holding back spending as a result. The euro-region economy will slip into a recession in the current quarter."
The euro-region economy may expand 0.3 percent in 2012 instead of a previously forecast 1.3 percent, the European Central Bank said on Dec. 8. Consumer spending will increase 0.1 percent next year, down from a previous estimate of 0.8 percent, before rising 0.9 percent in 2013, it said.
Austerity measures in countries from Spain to Greece and Italy have left households reluctant to spend just as companies step up job cuts. Munich-based Siemens AG, Europe's biggest engineering company, plans to eliminate as many as 1,600 positions at its health-care division.
"We are tackling the last quarter with confidence" even though the situation remains difficult in southern Europe, L'Oreal Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Agon said on Nov. 7.
The commission is scheduled to publish its monthly report on euro-area economic confidence, which includes the consumer-confidence gauge, on Jan. 6.

German thesp Udo Kier will be honored by the Munich Film Festival with its CineMerit Award, given to an actor whose career spans Europe and the U.S.
Kier's career is full of daring choices, and he's worked with such icons as Andy Warhol ("Andy Warhol's Frankenstein"), Rainer Werner Fassbinder ("Lili Marleen," "Lola" and "Berlin Alexanderplatz") and Lars von Trier (nine films including both volumes of "Nymphomaniac").
In 1991, Kier made his first Hollywood film, "My Own Private Idaho," from Gus Van Sant, and has acted in art films, genre films and Hollywood blockbusters.
"Udo Kier is an actor who leaves a lasting impression, no matter what the role," said festival director Diana Iljine in a statement. "He is an actor who is not afraid to take chances. And many of them have paid off. Udo Kier himself is a work of art."

Hey, so been using this quite a bit and I'm fairly confident that SD doesn't deserve it's own set, mostly outclassed by Shifty (kinda has a niche in being immune to Scald, but that's about it) and would be better off getting AC in the Spikes set, where it can function to an extent. SubPunch is also just not very good imo, but that may just be because I kinda hate SubPunch as a whole illegal and still lame. Otherwise not much to say, fairly straightforward 'mon imo. Code: [I]To-Do List:[/I] [LIST] [*]Confirm item / move slashes [✓] [*]chek [✓] [*]writ [✓] [*]chek2 [ ] [/LIST] King Shaqtus [Overview]
At a glance, it is difficult to justify the use of Cacturne in the RU metagame. With so many potent Grass-types available for use, it hardly seems wise to handicap yourself with a Pokemon like Cacturne. However, despite its appearance, Cacturne is actually quite unique in what it offers. Due to Cacturne's high offensive stats and powerful STAB Sucker Punch, it is one of the tier's best offensive Spikes users, capable of threatening a variety of common Pokemon in order to set up entry hazards. To add to this, Cacturne is also able to apply significant offensive pressure to both Kabutops and Cryogonal, the most common and effective Rapid Spin users of the tier, allowing it to effectively prevent its entry hazards from being removed on its own. What's more, its unique typing, complemented by its useful ability in Water Absorb, makes it a very effective choice for offensively-inclined teams, checking threatening Pokemon such as Slowking and Substitute + Calm Mind Uxie, as well as comfortably switching into bulky Water-types. However, Cacturne's lack of natural bulk means that it is heavily reliant on its resistances to take hits of any kind, meaning that it often struggles to switch in and can be forced out just as easily. What's more, being as slow as it is, Cacturne relies heavily on Sucker Punch to handle offensive threats, making it a very prediction-heavy Pokemon in many situations. While Cacturne is by no means a Pokemon that can be thrown on any team, it does retain a significant niche in the RU metagame and should be taken into consideration when building offensive teams.
 [SET] name: Offensive Spikes move 1: Spikes move 2: Sucker Punch move 3: Seed Bomb move 4: Hidden Power Fire / Substitute item: Life Orb / Leftovers ability: Water Absorb nature: Lonely / Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 152 SpA / 104 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to Cacturne's high offensive stats, unique typing, and potent movepool, it makes an excellent offensive Spikes user. As Cacturne is capable of threatening a variety of Pokemon, ranging from frail sweepers to common defensive pivots, it is capable of finding opportunities to set up Spikes as the opposing Pokemon are forced to switch out. One of Cacturne's most effective tools in threatening Pokemon is its STAB Sucker Punch, which allows it to pick off a variety of frail faster Pokemon. Moreover, Sucker Punch applies significant pressure upon the best Rapid Spin users in the tier, Kabutops and Cryogonal, dealing major damage to the former and OHKOing the latter almost always with a Life Orb. Seed Bomb provides Cacturne with a safe STAB move capable of immediately threatening the Water-types it checks, as well as preventing Kabutops from switching into Cacturne and threatening to either spin away its entry hazards or KO with Stone Edge. Lastly, Hidden Power Fire allows Cacturne to round off its coverage, punishing Steel-types such as Escavalier and Durant as well as defensively-inclined Grass-types, most notably Tangrowth. On the other hand, while Substitute leaves Cacturne vulnerable to Steel-types, it does allow Cacturne to stay in on a variety of Pokemon that would otherwise force it out, as well as minimizing the risk associated with using Sucker Punch.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
The given EV spread maximizes Cacturne's offensive presence while providing it enough Speed to outpace minimally invested Lanturn, allowing Cacturne to KO with Seed Bomb before being weakened by a potential Ice Beam or Thunder Wave. However, if Substitute is used over Hidden Power Fire, it would be worthwhile to invest the Special Attack EVs in Speed, as many common Pokemon, such as Aggron, Bouffalant, and Golurk, also aim to outpace Lanturn. In terms of item choice, the extra power of Life Orb is somewhat of a necessity when utilizing Hidden Power Fire in order for it to inflict significant damage upon its primary targets, while Leftovers's guaranteed recovery is largely preferable in conjunction with Substitute in order to set up more comfortably. However, that is not to say that Cacturne is restricted to these items, as it is capable of utilizing a reasonably wide arrangement of alternative options in order to allow to better fulfill certain roles. Some of the most pertinent of these choices are Dark Gem, which provides Cacturne a useful "middle ground" option between Leftovers and Life Orb, whose boost in power can allow it to better check certain sweepers, and Occa Berry, which allows it to switch more safely into Slowking and Grass-types without risking being blown out of the water by Fire Blast or Hidden Power Fire, respectively. Should the necessity to hit Normal-types be particularly high, Low Kick and Superpower both hit such Pokemon while retaining coverage against Steel-types, but it should be noted that critical targets of Hidden Power Fire, namely Escavalier and Durant, aren't hit particularly hard by this. Moreover, Swords Dance can be used in order to put even further pressure on the opponent to play around Sucker Punch and give Cacturne a window to sweep late-game, but opposing priority users make it rather difficult for it to do so.

In terms of partners, Cacturne has a variety of Pokemon that help make its job a little bit easier. Choice Scarf Emboar is a perfect example of this, offering a strong switch-in to support-based Grass-types capable of "absorbing" their Sleep Powders and Spores nicely, in addition to baiting bulky Water-types that Cacturne can in turn capitalize on. Moreover, while Cacturne is more than capable of setting up Spikes alongside several common entry hazard users, it is placed in a stalemate position in doing so that can often lead to both sides getting up all their entry hazards of choice. This makes having a spinner highly encouraged, and offensively speaking, Kabutops is the best fit for such a role, offering a solid switch-in to difficult Pokemon such as Entei and providing further offensive pressure on the opponent. However, Water-types as a whole are solid partners for Cacturne, providing good defensive synergy and forming a classic Fire / Water / Grass core, and if hazards are not an issue, then Kabutops can very well be substituted for an alternative Water-type. Omastar and Samurott both prove excellent examples of alternatives, with the former similarly capitalizing on Entei through Shell Smash and the latter acting as an effective wallbreaker to break up defensive cores. Lastly, while Cacturne is fairly self-sufficient in maintaining its own entry hazards against the spinners of the tier, defensive Rotom is a very helpful teammate, offering a solid offensive presence capable of capitalizing on Cacturne's Spikes, a useful resist to Bug-, Flying-, and Fighting-type attacks, and the ability to spinblock, deterring the opponent from attempting to Rapid Spin. Rotom is also the best candidate for spinblocking Kabutops, who Cacturne experiences some issues against as a spinner.
 [Other Options]
While Cacturne actually possesses a fairly expansive movepool, this is largely overshadowed by the very similar Shiftry, whose extra Speed gives it the advantage in a sweeping role under most conditions, namely through both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot. For this reason, Cacturne is generally restricted to be used as a Spikes setter in order for it to avoid being outclassed. However, Cacturne's low Speed does benefit it in a Trick Room setting, where its high Attack and Special Attack, excellent coverage, and resistances to Dark- and Ghost-type attacks makes it a fully capable Trick Room sweeper. Additionally, a set utilizing Destiny Bond alongside Custap Berry is an interesting tactic for eliminating problematic Pokemon, but this does require significant maneuvering and knowledge of how well Cacturne can take certain hits in order to be utilized to its fullest potential.
 [Checks and Counters]
While outright preventing Cacturne from fulfilling its role as a Spikes setter is difficult, as it is capable of pressuring most conventional responses to entry hazards rather well, several Pokemon can simply threaten it offensively. Fire-types, especially ones like Entei and Emboar that can handle Sucker Punch well, are problematic for Cacturne, as it cannot effectively prevent them from switching in while they can OHKO with their STAB attacks in return. Offensively inclined Steel-types, such as Aggron and Klinklang, can switch into most of Cacturne's arsenal safely and proceed to either set up on it or outright KO it with their STAB moves. Although they don't particularly enjoy Life Orb Hidden Power Fire, bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth and Amoonguss are more than capable of switching into Cacturne and can cripple it with status or wear it down with their attacks. While Pokemon like Hitmonlee and Primeape don't take Seed Bomb very well, they are otherwise fairly safe responses to Cacturne, resisting Sucker Punch and capable of threatening it with the prospect of a powerful Close Combat. Finally, offensive Substitute users, such as Sceptile, Rotom-F, and Scolipede, are capable of playing around Cacturne's Substitute with proper prediction, forcing it into a 50-50 prediction scenario.
 skelli (Move your mouse to reveal the content) skelli (open) skelli (close) [Overview] There are so many Grass-type 'mons made available and usable, both defensive and offensive, so faces some pretty serious competition for a slot Cacturne's real niche is as an offensive Spikes user, being able to find a decent amount of free turns due to offensive pressure and an assortment of cool resists / immunities Cool offensive options, including a damn powerful Sucker Punch, and the ability to go mixed allow it to threaten a variety of Pokemon after it comes in safely, in addition to allowing it to threaten the major spinners of the tier Still pretty slow and frail, it faces some real difficulty switching in and can be forced out without too much trouble Relies pretty heavily on Sucker Punch when taking on offensive teams, meaning that it can be a pretty prediction-heavy 'mon at times As unorthodox as it is, Cacturne has a distinguishable niche in the RU metagame, and is worth taking into consideration when building offensively inclined teams [SET] name: Offensive Spikes move 1: Spikes move 2: Sucker Punch move 3: Seed Bomb move 4: Hidden Power Fire / Substitute item: Life Orb / Leftovers ability: Water Absorb nature: Lonely / Adamant evs: 152 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Due to Cacturne's high offensive presence and unique set of resistances, Cacturne finds quite a few opportunities to set up Spikes Cacturne's high offensive presence and STAB attacks also put significant strain on common spinners like Kabutops and Cryogonal, allowing it to effectively preserve its own hazards STAB Sucker Punch is generally a solid move to have, allows Cacturne to keep a handful of frailer sweepers in check and pick off spinners before they can get a move in Seed Bomb offers Cacturne a useful secondary STAB move that allows Cacturne to deal consistent damage Hidden Power Fire provides Cacturne a method taking on bulky Steel- and Grass-types, allowing it to pressure Ferroseed and threaten switch-ins such as Escavalier and Tangrowth On the other hand, Substitute really buffs Cacturne's staying power, helping it maneuver around spinners better and generally having good synergy with Sucker Punch [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] The given EVs allow it outpace defensive Lanturn to avoid compromising itself to an Ice Beam or Thunder Wave and of course maximize offensive presence and bulk When using HP Fire, EVs invested in bulk can be traded over to SpA no problem. 68 EVs guarantee LO Cacturne to OHKO standard Esca after SR, and 112 EVs allows it to OHKO Offensive Tangrowth and standard Ferroseed after SR+Spikes In terms of item choice, Leftovers is definitely preferable in the use of Substitute, since Water Absorb isn't reliable enough recovery, though non-Sub variants really appreciate the extra power boost (not to say its bad, just not recommended) Cacturne has a couple unconventional, yet viable, alternative items to work with. The most notable of these are Dark Gem, which offers a solid "middle ground" in terms of power:longevity that allows it to maintain a powerful Sucker Punch, and Occa Berry, which allows Cacturne to eat the off-hand HP Fire or a Slowking Fire Blast and act accordingly In terms of alternate attacks, Low Kick / Superpower offers similar Steel-type coverage as HP Fire, though most of the targets are hit harder by HP Fire and Cacturne can afford to go mixed without too much hassle Swords Dance is a cool option for allowing Cacturne to double as a late-game cleaner, though doing so requires some serious para support more often than not Choice Scarf Emboar is one of the better partners for this set, since it switches into the Grass-types Cacturne usually finds itself up against quite well, and while it doesn't benefit from Spikes more so than any other offensive 'mon, it does tend to bait Pokemon Cacturne can Spike up on (Slowking, Qwilfish, Momo, Rhydon~ish, etc.) That said, Cacturne itself does tend to draw in Spikes users, making a spinner such as Kabutops never a bad idea Rotom is also far from a bad idea, as even though it can self-spinblock decently a healthy Kabutops can still come through and spin, making a deterrent never a bad idea. Rotom also provides a nice check to Bug-, Fighting-, and Flying-type attacks, which is chill [Other Options] A dedicated Swords Dance set is usable, but its also usable on the faster Shiftry (and it can be argued that Nature Power > Low Kick), who is generally superior in the role barring Cacturne's access to Water Absorb It has Nasty Plot, but is far too slow to make use of it Cacturne's good offensive stats, nice coverage, and resistances to Ghost- and Dark-type attacks make it a solid candidate for use in Trick Room DBond+Chople Berry is actually really fun if you get good at getting Cacturne under 25% safely, but pretty gimmicky overall [Checks and Counters] Not much really stops it from spiking up, but a number of 'mons can apply pressure on it Fire-types, especially those that can play around / don't care about Sucker Punch, are pretty prominent responses to Cacturne, since they normally outright OHKO it. Entei, Sub Moltres, and Emboar are all notable examples of this Offensive Steel-types, notably Aggron and Klinklang can be a problem if given too many opportunities Bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth and Amoonguss can threaten to either put it to sleep or dispatch it with the appropriate attack Strong Fighting-types like Hitmonlee and Primeape can't necessarily switch in Seed Bomb very well, but otherwise they can come in pretty comfortably and threaten it out with the threat of their STAB attacks (though Primeape is taking ~50% from a LO Sucker Punch, so it needs to be moderately healthy) Well-played Substitute users can play around Cacturne's Sucker Punch, pressuring a 50-50 mindgame

Wang Bo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other people named Wang Bo, see Wang Bo (disambiguation).
|Wang Bo
Statue of Wang Bo at the Pavilion of Prince Teng
|Chinese name
|Japanese name
|おう ぼつ
This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wang.
Wang Bo (Chinese: 王勃; Wade–Giles: Wang Po; 650–676), courtesy name Zi'an (子安), was a Tang dynasty Chinese poet, traditionally grouped together with Luo Binwang, Lu Zhaolin, and Yang Jiong as the Four Paragons of the Early Tang. He died at the age of 26, possibly from drowning, while going to Vietnam (then under Tang rule) to meet his father.[1]
He opposed the spread of the Gong Ti Style (宫体诗风) of the Sui Dynasty, and advocated a style rich in emotions. He was also famous for the essay Tengwang Ge Xu, which is included in the Chinese middle school curriculum.

The act of sale and the act of shipment should be separate actions; complete the legal sale first, ship afterward so that the purchaser is shipping his own firearm from point of sale to local authorized FFL.
IMHO you should absolutely not sell him the firearm while he is in a state other than Minnesota. He should place the order from his home state and receive the firearm from an authorized FFL in his home state. Private sales are complicated by interstate commerce acts and other Federal laws.
In Minnesota, it is completely legal to sell your firearm to another individual provided that person can legally purchase. Often, we ask to see a Minnesota Permit to Carry as proof that the person can legally own before completing a private sale. What the laws are in Florida I leave to you.

Ovarian tumors and cysts are uncommonly encountered in infants and children, but nonetheless are of considerable interest and importance because of the wide variety of pathological types and clinical syndromes which they present. At the Columbus Children's Hospital in the past 10 years, 16 such cases have been encountered. Half were benign cystic teratomas (dermoids). There were 2 malignant neoplasms, one an embryonal carcinoma and the other a granulosa-cell tumor. There were 6 cysts of various types, none of which can be considered true neoplasms. Clinically, most of these patients had problems of abdominal pain, a few were investigated because of an abdominal mass, and there were 3 examples of sexual precocity. All of these cases were managed surgically; because of the largely benign nature of these lesions, a conservative operative approach is stressed.
The problems of a satisfactory classification ovarian neoplasms are evident from the number that have

On my WP 2.8.4 blog, I observed a very annoying problem, however I can't trace back to when it precisely started, maybe with the 2.8 branch, maybe before.
To say it simply : my blog contains "summary" pages, and I usuall paste the same chapter with an hyperlink to a summary page into several blog posts.
I proceed that way : I write my blog post with the visual editor, I open a former blog post with the chapter pointing to the summary page, I copy that chapter (control-c, control-v) into my new post, and I click to save or post it.
And at this point, 50% of the time, the visual editor will save a broken hyperlink.
I'm sorry I can't communicate my blog's adress, but let us imagine a summary page is located on
http://www.my-blog.com/2008/05/12/summary (this is my permalinks structure)
I create a post located on
- well, 50% of the time, the chapter where I write "don't forget to refer to my summary page for a detailed list of the similar messages, the "my summary page" will incorrectly point to http://www.my-blog.com/2009/08/20/2008/05/12/summary
I searched a long time, but I can't find any logical reason, nor any person having had that problem before...
My best bet, for the moment, is that the Visual editor is wrong to paste links starting with ../ instead of absolute hyperlinks, but at this point, I don't know either how to change that setting and force him to go absolute :-/
Please, if you can help with a suggestion, or a recommendation, that will be most appreciated, I'll be very grateful :)
Of course, if you request more information, I'm willing to help too :)
Thanks a lot,

Divorce / Separation Lawyer
The procedure would be the same as is you sold the vehicle. You would have to sign the title over and she would register in New York. You would then have to file a lien against the vehicle. I caution you that having her take of the payments will not absolve you of ultimate responsibility for the payments should she default. I urge you to speak with an attorney to explain the legal ramifications of what you are trying to do, review and advise you of the proper documents to complete and to verify that all documentation is properly filed to secure your interest in the vehicle.

I really like the robe. It is very soft. The only thing that I did not like is that the tassell on the zipper Knoted and frayed when it was washed. I just snipped it off and wear the robe several days a week.
My husband and I decided to go on-line and try and find a long sleeve gown for his mother. It wasn't quit time for the store to stock them. His mother is in a rehab center and is older. We were all so happy with the timely delivery and the quality of the gown. It was nice to be sure that it would be of good quality, even tho I wasn't able to pick it out in person. Thanks Wal-Mart!!
I ordered this robe because I wanted something light to wear in the spring/fall. It's a little thin, but that's what I wanted. For the other user who said that the tassel frays, there's now a tag on it that says to remove the tassel before washing. The robe is very soft cotton and exactly what I was looking for. I'm coming back to order the pink color. True to description. 3/4 length sleeves. Hits me about mid-calf (although I should have ordered a size down). I usually wear a 2X-3X but since it's hard to tell if things are more "fitted", I ordered the 3x. If I had it to do over again, I would probably go for the 2x but I'm still very happy with my purchase.
Robe was very thin. Not good in the winter months.
I only ordered one until i received it to make sure if i liked it or not. It was well worth it and the price is supreme. I ordered a 3X just to make sure i had room and was comfortable and its a great fit and roomy. One thing before you wash it remove the tassle for the zipper. I didnt and it came apart in the wash. I am going to order another robe asap.
Comfortable, nice material, runs a little large. Overall, very satisfied.

The Catalans were trailing at the Nou Camp due to Javier Pastore's opener and brought on their Argentine talisman, who was benched due to a hamstring injury, with 28 minutes remaining.
Although Messi could not add to his tally of eight Champions League goals, he added a spark to Barca's attack and it was his run that began the move which saw Pedro equalise on 70 minutes to claim a 3-3 draw on aggregate.
David Villa, who received the ball from Messi and laid it off for Pedro, told Canal Plus: "Messi is the best player in the world and he changed the game just by being on the pitch.
"We have to congratulate him for his show of commitment to the team and to football."
Villa who began the match in attack alongside Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, added: "It is thanks to him that we have qualified.
"We are delighted to qualify after suffering so much. They caused us a lot of problems, and they did a lot of damage with their counter-attacks," he said.
"We gave the ball away a lot, which we don't normally do, we didn't play well. We knew that they [PSG] were strong on the counter-attack but they still made it difficult for us. However, we have qualified, and that's what's important."
Gerard Pique, who came through Barca's youth ranks with Messi, said the Blaugrana had no choice but to bring him on.
"In Leo we are talking about the best player in the world and when things are not going well you have to use him," he said.
"Even if he is half lame, his presence on the pitch is enough to lift us and our play in general."
Wing-back Dani Alves added: "That's the power he has, and that's why he's the best player in the world. His mere presence gave the whole match a different atmosphere.
"We're just happy to have him as a team-mate, I'd rather have Leo than any other player."
Barca assistant coach Jordi Roura agreed Messi changed the game, and said it was always their plan to bring him on if the game was not going to plan.
"We had agreed that he would play from the moment things started to go wrong for us, and that moment arrived. He came onto the pitch and once again participated in a goal," he said.
"He proved his competitive edge, he's an irreplaceable player."
The draw for the semi-finals is on Friday, with possible opponents arch rivals Real Madrid, last year's runners-up Bayern Munich and the side they displaced as German champions at the weekend, Borussia Dortmund.
"It feels like it's a duel between the Spanish and German leagues and I really have no preference," Barca sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said.
"For better or for worse, we showed that like a Manchester United or a Bayern Munich, we can make it through whether we are playing poorly or playing well," added the former Barca and Spain goalkeeper.

I recently removed 3 joins from a linq query against several Entities and used associations between the tables instead.
It seems that the queries now take longer to execute. I made the changes hoping for some performance improvements.
Is this consistent with what others have observed? Is there a logical reason for this? Is there a good rule of thumb about which strategy to use?
Linq query with joins:
from n in db.Names
.Where(n.ID = "myID")
**join d in db.InstitutionDemographics on n.ID equals d.ID
join m in db.MemberAdhocIds on n.ID equals m.ID
join ba in db.NameAddresses on n.BillingAddressNumber equals ba.AddressNumber
join sa in db.NameAddresses on n.ShippingAddressNumber equals sa.AddressNumber
join ma in db.NameAddresses on n.MailingAddressNumber equals ma.AddressNumber
join mas in db.MemberAdhocServices on n.ID equals mas.InstitutionID**
join pn in db.PrimaryContactNames on n.ID equals pn.ID into PrimeName
from pn in PrimeName.DefaultIfEmpty()
join cd in currentDuesResults on n.ID equals cd.ID into DuesJoin
from cd in DuesJoin.DefaultIfEmpty()
join bd in billingDateResults on n.ID equals bd.ID
into BillingDate
from bd in BillingDate.DefaultIfEmpty()
The ** marked section is what was replaced with associations in the EDMX file. The relationships are 1 to1 and constraints are based on the IDs just like the joins.
I have to also mention that there are no FK relationships on the SQL tables. (legacy stuff that I can not change)
** New information I've captured the SQL generated by the query using join -vs- associations and run it from SSMS. The performance is almost identical. So it appears that the sql generated is not the issue but something else in how the linq code is working.

20 reviews | 3.3 out of 5
ive been playing airsoft for years now, and i needed a sidearm for an upcoming game, so i picked this puppy up... let me tell you what. This thing is hefty... the co2 cartridge goes in the mag, so therefore you can just swap mags and be ready for an engagement... the mag holds around 20 bbs and you can get around 2.5 maybe 3 mags on one single co2 cartridge... it shoots ridiculously accurate.... The only con is the fact that the magazine feeding lip broke off because a friend let go of the bb guide spring which idk why he did it.... which in that case, you just need a new mag. For something you can pick up at wal-mart, this thing is flawless. Buy it if you are thinking debating.. also i forgot to mention the 14 mm negative threaded barrel for supressor attachment.
i got this pistol about a week ago it is awesome i went out back with a couple of friends and started to shoot the zombie reset target it was flawless blowback was great the gun is just accurate . you get about 3 mags on 1 CO2 i recamend a package of 40 of CO2 for 20 @ great gun overall
I read all reviews and almost didn't buy but I decided too and you must make sure you oil the gun good before using it I feel like that was people's problem the gun works great for me I am not able to jam this gun and it isn't leaking co2 it works perfect and has a ton of power and isn't too bad for a blowback all metal co2 pistol I get 3 magazines full out of one co2 which is really good for the power it has the only reason why I gave it 4 stars on expectations is cause I've had it only a couple days and don't know the dependability but I have used it a lot and its holding up very good
This gun is a great sidearm. It is reliable, accurate, and packs a major punch! I've one matches with this gun alone! And for all you who say the CO2 leaks out, that's not the gun, its the mag, if the mag is faulty buy a new one because this gun is worth having!!
When I bought the gun off of this site I was impressed by the weight of it. It is fairly sturdy and easy to shoot. I would recommend using all-in-one lubricant that you can pick at Walmart for cheap. This will help prevent jams and also magazine malfunctions that people seem to get frequently with this gun. Overall, it performed well for the price and has a very nice look and feel.
I ended up returning two of these. First one was able to work for 1.5 CO2 cartridges before leaking badly from the mag. When it worked it gave a nice kick and loud bang each shot with reasonable accuracy. We did apply Pellgunoil on the tip of the CO2 cartridge before loading but still no luck. It had to be returned to the store. I decided to give this gun another chance, so I bought another one after returning the first. This one turned out worse: it gave off 2 shots, but the slide cracked on the 3rd. The barrel bushing shot out of the gun while the slide tip cracked. Then I took a look at the crack: that's when I noticed the poor material quality; that is, a lot of air bubbles and debris seemed to have been mixed in with the metal alloy molding which greatly weakened the material. This seems to me to be caused by bad quality control at the manufacturer. Thanks to WalMart for their great return policy and service.
This is a great gun, if your looking for a cheap blowback pistol this is the one to get.
Extra parts/clips
This gun has a 14 mm negative threaded barrel for silencers. If you are looking for a extra magazine you can pick them up on blackopsusa.com for $20 but there are two different versions of this gun so make sure to choose model 3502. If you want a extended mag or a green gas this gun takes WE 1911 high capa mags.
Features of the gun
*full metal except grip and orange tip
*Adjustable sights for both directions
*20 round double stacked clip
*adjustable hop up
*Works with co2 or green gas I suggest co2
Over all this is a great gun. It works with co2 in temperatures around 30 degrees, but it does no get as much power or as many rounds from the co2. The maintenance is very easy to do and theres tutorials on youtube and blackopsusa.com. For bbs I would use .20 or .25 I use .25 because .20 shoot up a bit, but I also have not done anything to the hop up. One thing you might want to consider when buying this gun is that the co2 runs out quickly so you will get around 60-100 shots before it runs out but to make up for that the gun has a lot of blowback/ kick. I defiantly recommend getting this, the price is the cheapest out of all the blowback pistoles I have seen and it preforms great.
This is a good gun for speed and for long rang and I highly recommend this gun to you because of the quality and the gun and it is help full in the games because if you run out of ammo in your primary you have a 20 round 400-450 fps gun so go and get it I have no problems with it but if co2 starts leaking its either the orings are too or you broke something but I don't think you could brake anything on this gun.
The reason I would not recommend this gun to any Airsoft player is because it is a hit and miss. What I mean by this is that your gun has the possibility to leak C02 right out of the box or not leak it at all. I know this gun is from Walmart but I expected to have longer playtime with it on the field. The gun has a great feel and awesome looks but don't let it deceive you. After about an hour of playtime with this gun the mag started leaking C02. I later took the gun to my local Airsoft store and was told to soak the o-rings that seal the gas and see if it would stop leaking. I have soaked the o-rings for a matter of 3 months with no success. I would recommend to not buy this gun, save your money and buy a more expensive sidearm at any legitimate Airsoft store or site if you want a permanent sidearm on the field.
Overall this is a very good gun. Reliable, sturdy, and shoots hard. However the slide does like to not stay back after the clip is out on mine, causing you to dry fire a couple of times, and doing this repeatedly it can ruin the clip by wearing down a tab. But again overall its a good gun, I like it and would recommend it.
This is the most authentic 1911 45 ACP airsoft pistol I've held in my hand to date. If someone were to hand it to you while you were blindfolded, and you were to work the action, you would be shocked that it wasn't the real McCoy. Not necessarily the Colt brand, but as good as most non-Colt 1911's. The black finish was gorgeous. The fit and finish of this all metal (except the grips) semi-auto pistol is awesome. Pulling the hammer back and dry-firing it made me think I had the genuine article. And the precision of the slide mechanism is second-to-none. A beautiful, precise click as I pulled it back to the lock position. Excitedly, I pulled out the clip, which fits flush with the bottom of the handle on this new version. Like in the old version, the gas cartridge comes out in the clip. Uh-Oh! What the heck?? You have to use a (supplied) hex wrench to seat the CO2 cartridge? Boy, THAT won't last long. The local hardware store will LOVE you for all the replacement wrenches you'll be buying. But just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they did. The BB retainer spring is super strong, and there's no detente to hold it back while you load 6mm BB's. So you have to hold it back while you attempt to load in airsoft BB's. And to make matters worse, you have to feed the BB's in one-at-a-time at a 90 degree angle. The directions actually tell you that you have to hold back the feeder slide and push them in one-at-a-time. But IT GETS WORSE. Forget about using non-Black Ops brand BB's. Crosman precision ground .20's would NOT fit. The only ones that I could push in were - you guessed it - Black Ops brand. So now we have to use proprietary ammo? Really? By this time I was getting truly aggravated. It would take you 5 minutes to load one of these clips, which held either 16 or 19 rounds. You would need 4 or 5 clips just to get survive. And I bet spare clips cost a fortune. With a super heavy heart, I returned this to Wally's World. A beautiful 1911 copy ruined by a terrible magazine. What a shame! What were the designers thinking? (To quote everyone's dad, "That's just it - they didn't think!") The first Incite Black Ops rifle I bought was defective, right out of the box, and now THIS? No more of THIS brand for me! Can anyone say "Lancer"?
The blow back feature jams in the open position. The latch that holds the rack open fell out of the gun. I bought this for Christmas. We were not able to go through one CO2 cartridge and it had jammed twice. I never could get it unjammed from the second time. We were able to shoot maybe 10 minutes. I just found my receipt today, but doubt I can return it by now. It looks good and was impressive for the few shots we were able to make. Very disappointing.
It's a really good pistol, solid and fairly accurate. The first one I bought, broke after several hundred rounds, but the 2nd one has been a gem. 20-shot capacity is nice, CO2 hasn't leaked on me yet, I do use the pen oil.
No much success on the first one. Screws fell out out after first usage, gun jammed a bit, and then when i tried to use the "Hop Up" feature, the pin never stayed back in. Very bad pin design. I returned it and so far the new one is working, although afraid to take this one a part (hop up pin). (for my daughter)
I love it its awesome
this gun only lasted only one mag and then you had to replace.another thing is that the mag leaked but i fix it but it was hard.DO NOT BUY THIS GUN!!!!!!!
Ha! It lasted 15 minutes...it was fun while it lasted =p. need I say more...

His butt will not get better!! Tried huggies and pampers,desitin,a n d ointment,cornstarch,no wippies,air dry,no diaper...please help me figure this out! Called doc and he hasnt returned my call. His office is 1hr away so trying to avoid that as we are going tomorrow anyway. What do you think tgis looks like? He's been without a diaper on most the day for 3 days now,but its just getting worse.breaks my heart
Pic,diaper rash or diaper allergy please help
Mom to 5, soon to be 6.
2 Girls 3 Boys
Baby Girl coming Oct . 2012
Schedule an appointment with the pedi. They can tell you what kind of rash it is and how to take care of it. I would say it looks like a yeast rash too. And for that they always told me to do lotramin (yes for athlete's foot) and then top that with diaper rash cream.
loving wife to my Navy vet Ben, SAHM to my funny man Mason and the happiest baby Larkin!
Married to my wonderful Husband on 9/15/2006, Alexandra (our Bee Bug) 3/22/08, baby Levi arrived! 6/9/10
I agree. It's got to be an allergy of some kind, be it from what they're eating (or you, if your bfing) or to the diaper. My kids only got that when it was a diaper they were reacting to or I was eating dairy or the formula wasn't right.
My last daughter, the only thing that worked to clear it up even semi, was vaseline and baby powder. I would slather it on her butt and then douse her with baby powder.
Mother to Aiden Zane 1/4/03
Mia Korynn 6/11/09
Mix neosporin or antibiotic ointment, about a tablespoon
Maalox or Mylanta (unflavored) 2 tablespoons
And then add enough corn starch, not corn starch baby powder, actual real corn starch you would cook with, enough to make a paste.
Apply liberally.
Ointment will heal the skin, antacid will neutralize uric acid in urine, corn starch forms a barrier.
This should clear it up really quickly, and will soothe it lots until your doctors appointment tomorrow.
If the doctor says it is yeast; I caution you not to just use the prescribed or suggested fungal cream, instead, mix the cream the doctor gives with the above recipe and continue using the mixture. It should be gone in a couple of days and dramatically better within 24 hours.

What is it about our contemporary political role that makes so much of what we attempt to do abroad ultimately self-defeating?
Read Whole Story
Earth is a big, messy place with nations and cultures whose actions stem from deep history and habits that have little or nothing to do with big, self-absorbed, inward-looking America and its five percent of the world population.

German Union Threatens U.S. Jobs
Posted on | February 19, 2014 | 16 Comments
After workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga voted to reject a United Auto Workers contract, most friends of free labor breathed a sigh of relief, but a deal that gives German workers a seat on the VW board may threaten the Tennessee workers' jobs:
A Volkswagen board member is threatening to withhold future investments in its Tennessee facility if the workers do not unionize, according to Reuters.
"I can imagine fairly well that another VW factory in theUnited States, provided that one more should still be set up there, does not necessarily have to be assigned to the south again," said Bernd Osterloh, head of VW's works council.
"If co-determination isn't guaranteed in the first place, we as workers will hardly be able to vote in favor" of potentially building another plant in the U.S. south, Osterloh, who is also on VW's supervisory board, said.
A bit more at the link.
Sister Toldjah has more, noting Ed Kilgore's statement:
This news falls with the predictable weight of another shoe dropping, but it's interesting that it's happening so fast, even as conservatives everywhere are still celebrating the successful intimidation of VW workers in Tennessee by local Republican politicians.
There is plenty of speculation as to why the workers rejected union representation, which could be anything from they saw just how wonderful things are in that union town of Detroit to the possibility that the UAW organizers were just not very good and urinated off a bunch of workers. But the left seem incapable of considering the possibility that a majority of the workers simply did not see United Auto Workers representation as being beneficial to them.
Or maybe it was something like this story from yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer:
10 leaders of Ironworkers Local 401 charged in racketeering indictment
By Jeremy Roebuck, Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer | Last updated: Wednesday, February 19, 2014, 1:08 AM | Posted: Tuesday, February 18, 2014, 11:48 AM
They called themselves "the Helpful Union Guys" – "THUGS" for short – and woe awaited any contractor who dared cross them by hiring non-organized workers.
For, federal authorities alleged Tuesday, this "goon squad" of members of Ironworkers Local 401 set fires, started riots, and took crowbars to the competition in an effort to protect union jobs.
FBI agents arrested 10 of the union's leaders Tuesday morning, including longtime head Joseph Dougherty, in a racketeering conspiracy case that appeared to affirm long-standing business complaints over the tactics employed by Philadelphia unions.
Prosecutors alleged that Dougherty and others have cost contractors hundreds of thousands of dollars over at least three years, and were indiscriminate in choosing their targets – equally willing to break skulls with baseball bats at a Toys R Us work site in King of Prussia or torch a Quaker meetinghouse under construction in Chestnut Hill.
More at the link.
Now, it's not exactly news that there has been union violence to try to protect jobs for union members only; it's only news that someone might actually go to jail for it. But maybe, just maybe, the civilized workers in Tennessee — Tennessee is reliably Republican, which makes them, by definition, civilized — don't want to be associated with that kind of stuff.
Or, perhaps, just perhaps, the workers realize what The First Street Journal has been saying all along, that unions in private sector companies have to be partners with their employers, trying to get what they can for their workers while still keeping the company profitable, and were just not confident that the United Auto Workers have had such a good record of doing that, considering the bailouts that General Motors and Chrysler required, and which Ford just barely avoided.
The First Street Journal absolutely supports the right of workers to form unions, but also believes that workers have an absolute right to decline to form a union, and that no worker should be compelled to join a union just to keep his job. The First Street Journal also believes that everyone bears the responsibility for his decisions, and workers who choose to unionize bear the responsibility for the actions of their union, even if that union winds up driving the company out of business. Given the record of private-sector unions in general recently, it's not too difficult to see why the Volkswagen workers might not see union representation as a wise idea.

I am planning to buy a new laptop and the model I look for has two different screen resolutions: 1920x1080 and 1600x900. I was looking how can I compare the size of the text / windows on the laptop's screen with external monitors and I found some info on DPI / PPI.
I understand what DPI / PPI is and I have calculated / checked what are the numbers for my monitors and it looks like this:
ext monitor 1920 x 1200 :: 103 PPI
new laptop 1600 x 900 :: 118 PPI
new laptop 1920 x 1080 :: 141 PPI
I would like to clarify two cases:
- do monitors, with similar PPI draw text / windows of similar size (measurable physical size)? will the difference be just the free space for other windows (small laptop screen vs big external monitor, with similar PPI)?
- external monitor is placed noticable further from my eyes than the laptop so I 'want' the text / windows be a little bigger to see it as clear as these on the laptop's screen, right? then, should I look for the PPI that is a little bigger or smaller (for that external monitor)?
I think, smaller PPI value for external monitor will give ma a little bigger text / windows size. Am I correct?

The South Plains preseason blitz continues tonight with another team from district 2-2A division one in the Abernathy Antelopes.
Garrett Royal returns for the 'lopes with a couple years of experience as the starting quarterback helping Abernathy to a 21-4 record over the past two seasons, in the old 2A. The 'lopes drop down into the new 2-A, which is smaller than years past. Abernathy has some holes to fill due to graduation but Coach Darrell Dailey and his Antelopes are ready to get to work in their new district.
