FORT BENNING, Ga., (June 19, 2013) -- About 50 kids showed off their kicking and passing skills Thursday at French Field during the NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition, hoping to make it to the national stage.
According to the competition's website, the PP&K is an initiative of the NFL to teach the fundamentals of football to kids ages 6-15. More than 400,000 kids compete nationwide in local PP&K competitions. The top scorer in each age division moves on to sectional competitions and the top four first-place winners will compete in the team championships. The top four first-place finishers at the team championships are eligible to advance to the national round.
This year was the first time in four years Fort Benning has held a local PP&K competition, Fort Benning Child Youth & School Services director Dorrie Wagner said.
"It can be used as a bench mark to see how the kids can kick and pass," Wagner said.
Wagner said she made the competition coincide with the annual CYSS football camp, which was held June 10-13, but the PP&K was free to anyone who wanted to participate.
Charlie Flowers, the former head football coach at Shaw High School who led the Raiders to the 2000 state championship, provided oversight and gave advice to kids in the competition.
"(Coach Flowers) comes back every year and does our football camp, so we combined the two," Wagner said.
Participants were not allowed any practice beforehand, but could ask the coaching staff for tips at any time. Because of that, Flowers said the ones who attended the camp benefited more at the PP&K.
"The ones that participated in the camp throughout the week had an edge because we were already working on some of these things," Flowers said.
Scores were judged on a balanced scale of distance and accuracy. Tape measure was placed down the middle of an area with boundaries of 30 feet on both sides. Every foot away from the tape measure resulted in a one-point deduction from the distance thrown. For example, an 80-foot throw 10 feet right of the tape measure would result in a final score of 70.
Flowers said he has volunteered for the PP&K off and on for the last 20 years and liked what he saw from the kids Thursday.
"You never know what might come out of this," he said. "Look at how many games are won and lost on a kick or a punt. Special teams are often left out, but they often decide close ball games. If you find someone out here who's good on special teams, you've found something."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Pitt's bench could end up being the decisive factor for the Panthers if they're going to win the Big East.
AP Photo/Mel EvansBrad Wanamaker scored 15 points off the bench in Pitt's win over Rutgers.
Ashton Gibbs, a 6-2 freshman guard, contributed off the bench as well, playing nine minutes and spelling Levance Fields at the point. Freshman guard Travon Woodall didn't even get in the game. If Woodall -- who hails from Paterson, N.J., was recruited by Rutgers and would no doubt be playing significant minutes for the Scarlet Knights had he matriculated -- can pitch in, then the bench will become even deeper.
It's clear that the soul of this team consists of Fields, Blair and senior forwards Tyrell Biggs and Sam Young. Biggs is a do-everything player who had six points and 10 boards against Rutgers, while Young is a Big East Player of the Year candidate and an extremely tough matchup who had another ho-hum 18 points Wednesday. Junior college transfer Jermaine Dixon will have opportunities to contribute, and the 6-foot-3 wing did so with three huge steals against Rutgers."It just makes us that much better," Fields said. "We've got guys scoring the ball, rebounding and coming up with assists. They're all impacting the game, giving us energy and buckets as well."
Saed Hindash/US PresswireFreshman Mike Rosario is averaging almost 18 points a game for Rutgers.
• Illinois State is putting together a Drake-like season in the Missouri Valley. The Redbirds won again, beating Evansville by 30 to go to 13-0 and 2-0 in the league. Southern Illinois lost to Northern Iowa to drop to 0-2. Circle the Illinois State-Creighton game Saturday and the one on Feb. 28 in Omaha as the two games of the year in the Valley.• Two teams to keep an eye on: Texas A&M is 12-1, winning at Rice Wednesday, and Utah State is 12-1, outlasting Wyoming at home in overtime. Utah State is emerging as the favorite in the WAC. A&M is a solid pick to make the NCAA tourney and will cause fits for everyone in the Big 12. • Gonzaga may have gone from the top five to out of the Top 25 after losing at Utah on Wednesday when Matt Bouldin and Austin Daye couldn't convert a final bucket in a 66-65 loss. Next up for the Zags is a visit to Tennessee. The schedule just looks ludicrous at this point, with so many games away from the Kennel. Gonzaga is 8-4. Talk of Gonzaga as a No. 1 seed out of the West is now moot. This shouldn't be a reach, but don't be surprised to see a Big East team as a No. 1 seed in the West, as there might not be a likely candidate from the West to serve in that role. • Stony Brook had the shocker of the night by beating Air Force 67-64 on the road. The America East now has wins over the Mountain West (Air Force by Stony Brook), the Big 12 (Colorado by Vermont and Nebraska by UMBC), the Atlantic 10 (George Washington by Vermont), the Big East (Rutgers by Binghamton) and Conference USA (Tulane by Binghamton).

Just ok
Other than giving a set amount of time this app I have found is worthless. The type is so small you can't read it when you are running and you have to relay on the bar moving to know when to go to the next phase. Also every time I have used it (which I'm about half way through) when you hit end, it crashes on you and you have to shut your phone all the way down and reboot. The quit button doesn't work that pops up. If they would fix this and the type size it might be a decent app!
Not happy
This app was not at all what I was expecting. I'm very disappointed I paid $2 for an app when I got a better one that exceeded my expectations for free. Note this app is for experienced runners...not beginners. I would not suggest this app for anyone just starting out. I hope there is a way I can get my money back.
App crashes consistently when interacting with it. Also stops playing music apps like pandora whenever the interval changes. Very frustrating!

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 271930 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 330 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2016 LATEST UPDATE... Synopsis/Short Term/Long Term/Hydro/Marine .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 A cool front will gradually sag south through the state of Michigan tonight with showers and a few thunderstorms occurring along it. The highest concentration will likely be this afternoon and evening north of Interstate 96. An area of low pressure will move along the front Thursday and Thursday night across Illinois and Indiana. Showers and a few thunderstorms will remain possible, especially across Southern Lower Michigan Thursday and Thursday night. Friday looks to be dry with high pressure building in. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night) Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 The upper flow through the short term will remain out of the west- northwest, with shortwave troughs gradually aiding in developing a low amplitude upper trough. What this means is we are probably looking at low chances for precipitation as the shortwaves move through with a general slight cooling trend. The first shortwave aloft moves through the area tonight, so cannot rule out a chance for a shower or storm overnight. The highest concentration of showers and storms will be this evening, in the heating of the day. The storms are of the pulse type variety with the overall threat for anything severe being quite low. Feel we will see a gradual south push to the activity before it tends to diurnally fade overnight. Some activity will try to push in from the west as well out of Wisconsin. On Thursday, another shortwave looks to move through the region aloft, likely touching off additional scattered showers and storms. As we move from Thursday night into Friday high pressure should gradually take more control as the boundary pushes towards the Ohio River. A low will be moving along the front so best chances for any precip in our area will be in the southern half of the cwa. Thinking Friday night will be fairly dry following the GFS which has seemed a bit more stable in its solutions in regard to the Fri/Sat time frame of late. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Various model/ensemble solutions over the past few days have been hinting at the possibility of a wave impacting the area on Saturday, leading to a chance of showers and psbl tstms. Today it`s the GEM doing it and a couple days ago it was the ECMWF (although with earlier timing). It`s difficult to completely discount this idea given the troughing at 500 mb that has been consistently advertised for the first half of the weekend. The complicating/limiting factor however is that the guidance has also been showing a sfc high impacting the nrn grtlks region over the weekend, leading to relatively dry conditions. Will need to carry at least low chance pops on Saturday to account for the possibility of a shortwave and possible sfc reflection on Saturday into Saturday evening. Better confidence exists for dry weather on Sunday since if a wave does come through on Saturday there should be subsidence/drying in it`s wake. Upper ridge builds over the region Monday so dry looks good then too. Shower and tstm potential is expected to return Tuesday and Wednesday as warmer and more humid air mass arrives on the back side of departing high. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 203 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 The bulk of the tstm activity this afternoon/evening is expected to be north of I-96 and east of Hwy 131... so left the thunder threat out of the TAFs with the exception of LAN between 20Z and 00Z where decent sfc convergence will exist at pk heating. A few isolated cells cannot be ruled out at the other terminals but feel the chance is too low to include elsewhere. Any tstm could produce brief IFR or lower conditions due to heavy rain. A general decrease in coverage and intensity of convection is expected after sunset although a few showers could linger through the night mainly north of I-96. Some areas of fog could form late tonight, especially where it rains today and at AZO/BTL/JXn where dew pts are a bit higher and where skies should be clear enough to form radiation fog with calm winds. Fog will mix out Thursday morning by 13-14Z. Scattered tstms are expected to redevelop area-wide after 16-18z Thursday. && .MARINE... Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Winds and waves are expected to remain below advisory criteria the next couple days as high pressure settles into the Great Lakes region. North to northeast flow does increase Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, but the high wind/waves should remain well off shore of our area. The flow over the weekend turns easterly and will be fairly light. So, no advisories look necessary through the weekend. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Thunderstorms in Central Michigan this afternoon have produced locally heavy rainfall, including radar estimated amounts over 2 inches in a portion of Clare County. Other than ponding of water on roadways, flooding is not anticipated. The storms Wednesday afternoon will mainly affect Central Michigan, then the most likely region for rainfall on Thursday will be in Southwest Michigan. Rainfall amounts Thursday will likely not be substantial enough for flooding. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None. LM...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...Duke SHORT TERM...Duke LONG TERM...Meade AVIATION...Meade HYDROLOGY...CAS MARINE...Duke

In the face of some capable but not exactly interesting German competition, the Citroen DS5 is something a bit different.
From the unique metal blade that sweeps back from the headlights up each wing to its concave, sculpted tail-lamps, this car oozes more style and character than any of its Bavarian rivals.
It's the same inside, too, where ergonomics play second fiddle to style – there are no buttons on the doors, for example, merely a tasteful milled handle. The locks and electric window controls are in the centre console instead.
Yet once you get used to the odd positioning of the switchgear and the unusual part-MPV, part-estate dimensions, the DS5 is easy to drive. There's a decent amount of space inside and a comfortable driving position, too. It's pricey, but kit includes heated seats with the option of fantastic watch-strap leather.
The location of our hybrid car's battery and motor assembly under the boot floor compromises the 325-litre load area slightly, while rear space isn't overly generous. However, to ensure the newcomer stays in the 10 per cent company car tax bracket, and remains exempt from road tax, Citroen has introduced new engine management software for the 163bhp 2.0-litre diesel and improved the battery management system.
Opt for 17-inch alloys, instead of the 18s that fill the arches better, and the DS5 emits 91g/km of CO2. A further update will improve this to 88g/km in March. And while the cut in CO2 figures is good for your pocket, the higher-profile tyre and smaller wheel combination helps the DS5's ride, offering more compliance over big bumps and less jiggling when you hit small ridges or potholes in the road surface.
The hybrid drivetrain switches smoothly between power modes, although the automated manual box changes gear slowly. The conventional six-speed auto is nicer, but unfortunately it's unavailable on hybrid DS5s.

Hey everybody,
(citing last post). Here's my wp-config:
I know that similar topics have been covered before, but it just won't work for me, no matter what combinations of host names I try.
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('jonlandr_wordpress', 'wordpress');
define('jonlandr_wordpre', 'username');
define('*****', 'password');
define('localhost', 'localhost');
// ** Stop editing ** //
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
It all looks great to me. And I've deleted and re-made my username and database two or three times using cPanel.
$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "jonlandr_wordpre", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("jonlandr_wordpress");
Is there a wait period before this database becomes available, kind of like the wait period when starting a new site while the host creates your file? Or am I still doing something wrong? The URL is JonLandrum.com
Any information is greatly appreciated,

Strange Names - "Potential Wife"
While the guys in Strange Names are busy writing and recording new material for their highly anticipated debut full-length, the just dropped a fun and fresh new video for the insanely catchy "Potential Wife" to tide us all over. The track is lifted from their self-titled EP, and finds both Liam and Francis -- who shot, edited, and directed the video as well -- playing around with random props while having plenty of fun in the sun, which only adds to the buoyant nature of the track itself.

Greg Grease is back with a smooth new video for "Continuum," from his excellent recent EP, Black King Cole. This retro-styliszed clip was directed by Fun Zach, with animation done by David Park, all complimenting the fresh beats and rhymes that Greg is delivering. Grease and DJ Just Nine have a reggae night planned at Honey on September 26th, where the duo, who call themselves SPCE WZRD, will be spinning some dancehall, soul, ska, and hip-hop tracks.
CHVRCHES - "Recover (Live on the Current)"
Glasgow's CHVRCHES are now a perfect two for two in memorable local shows, and before their recent sold-out First Ave gig, the trio dropped by the Current studios to play this stripped-down but still devastating version of "Recover." The focus in this rendition shifts to Lauren Mayberry's pleading, angelic vocals instead of the pulsating beats which drives so much of their music, and this restrained take only magnifies the meaning and sentiment of the song.
Haphduzn & Dimitry Killstorm - "TOFU (Feat. Slug)"
We recently featured the dynamic duo of Haphduzn and Dimitry Killstorm as part of our focus on the Lights and a Backdrop series, and now the pair are back with an official video for "TOFU," and they brought along Slug to help make the track even more banging. The clip is the fourth lifted from the duo's recent record, Whittier Alliance, and finds the guys having some truly disgusting fun in a restaurant kitchen before they find themselves in a much more comfortable environment rocking the stage.
Majical Cloudz - "This Is Magic (City of Music session)"
Back in August when Majical Cloudz were in Minneapolis to play the Entry, the group also took some time out to shoot a City of Music video for their hypnotic track, "This Is Magic." The stark white surroundings only adds to the haunting appeal of the song, with Dan Huiting and his talented crew perfectly capturing the raw emotions of the track by removing all unnecessary distractions and diversions. It's truly a lovely, moving clip.
The Lioness - "Real Hip-Hop"
Emerging Minneapolis MC, the Lioness, captured the attention of the local hip-hop scene when she released Most Anticipated back in 2011. Now, the Lioness is back with the old-school flavored beats and rhymes of "Real Hip-Hop," which takes the art form back to the simpler days of boom boxes playing jams in the park. The track is lifted from her vibrant new album, The Lioness - Queen, with the summertime-themed clip directed and edited by the 13twentythree Photography crew.
ACTN - "Alone Together"
The gloomy electro-pop Minneapolis outfit ACTN are back with their second digital 7-inch of the year, the "Alone Together/Step Away" split, and this dark, enigmatic video for "Alone Together" builds on the pulsing menace of the song itself. Gus Watkins, of Hot Ashes, has shifted his creative focus to the shadowy, electronic churn of ACTN, and based on the strength of the singles he's released so far, this new direction clearly suits him.
Summer Set Music & Camping Festival 2013 - Official Video Recap
There was a lot of fun to be had at this year's Summer Set Festival, and this recap video manages to capture plenty of the sights and sounds of the festivities in Wisconsin. The fans and the bands themselves are all caught enjoying themselves under the bright summer sun. Until next year, Summer Set.
El Le Faunt & His Traveling Circus - "Devil In Hand"
El Le Faunt are back with a forthcoming new record, El Le Faunt & His Traveling Circus, and the bouncy swing of "Devil In Hand" is the first track the group are sharing from the album. The sprightly, horn-laden number has some ominous undertones blended fluidly with the upbeat vibrancy of the arrangements. The clip, directed and edited by Thomas Reinert, captures the band having some fun playing the track in their basement, which adds a more natural charm to the song. The record is set to ship around Halloween, which is perfect timing to coincide with the album's darker themes.
Killstreak - "Supernatural"
The Minneapolis hip-hop crew, Killstreak, have recently released their new album, Janus, back in July, and have just put out their first video in support of the record for a track called "Supernatural." The clip, which has a bit of a murder-mystery theme going on, was directed by Kale Eickhof, and adds to the spirited menace of the song itself.

Well, here is some exclusive breaking news. There can be nothing better than our favourite TV stars falling in love. Vivian Dsena-Vahbbiz Dorabjee, Karan Kundra-Kritika Kamra, Jay Bhanushali-Mahhi Vij are some of the names who have always been open about their relationship. Now, Pratyusha Banerjee aka Anandi of Balika Vadhu is the latest one who has been bitten and smitten by the divine love bug. And on top of that, she is not hiding it, bravo!
Pratyusha talked a few months back and said that she has no plans to enter into a relationship as she "is too busy with work." But when Cupid strikes, very few can survive.
The affable actress is in a relationship with a Mumbai-based businessman Makrand Malhotra. They have been dating each other for the last two and a half months now.
"The relationship is still at a very early stage. Yes, we like each other and we are hopeful that everything will be fine in the future," confirms affable and charming Pratyusha.
Pratyusha and Makrand met each other through a common friend. "I went to see off my friend where Makrand was also there. He did not recognize me initially as without make-up I look quite different. Then later, Makrand threw a party at his place and he invited me. Three days later he proposed to me," blushes the actress who has emerged as the darling of millions of TV viewers across the globe.
Furthermore, Pratyusha is all gaga about her man in life. "He is smart, well-behaved and nice at heart. I like him a lot."
Well, kudos to Pratyusha, who doesn't shy away from talking about her love life. After all, pyar kiya to darna kya. There is nothing better than finding love in life. It feels beautiful.
"Yes, it does. It's a different feeling altogether," says Pratyusha.
And the good news is that Pratyusha's and Makrand's respective families have accepted their relationship. "Yeh, no one has any problem. All are happy with us being together," says the actress.
Both Pratyusha and Makrand keep super busy with work. But they do manage to take time off to spend some love-dovey moments together. "We chill out with friends and go visit places in Mumbai," informs Pratyusha.
So is marriage around the corner?
"No, there is still time. Not at least for the next four to five years. I have to concentrate on my career now. We still have to know a lot about each other. Things are at a nascent stage now. But God willing, we will get married in the future," ends Pratyusha.

This volume represents the James Watson lectures for 1910, delivered before the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. The book covers the domain of hematology as represented in the most recent text-books and many articles in current medical literature. The statements are for the most part brief and practical. For instance, the subject of viscosity of the blood is discussed in two paragraphs with the conclusion that the estimation of the viscosity of the blood has not thus far come into general use in clinical medicine. While the book will not replace the more extensive treatises on clinical diagnosis or the special works on the blood, it will be of service in giving a clear idea of the present status of this important subject.

Vice President Joe Biden was in Tallahassee Monday, pushing lawmakers to keep college tuition under control.
Biden supported the Obama administration's new plan to make college more affordable in front of students at Florida State University.
The plan's focus is to boost federal aid to campuses that can prove they're keeping tuition increases to a minimum.
"We cannot go half a generation of having 10, 12, 15 million fewer people getting out of college than are today," the Vice President said. "We can't afford that."
In the past year, tuition has gone up by 15 percent at Florida's public universities.
The administration has yet to say where the money would come from, and Congress would have to approve it.

I saw the show. It was marvelous. I only wish all parts of every show could be
based on knowledge alone -- no rolling of balls, or doodling, or anything like
that -- just answer questions.
I was reared in a sectarian denomination wherein children were made very familiar with the Bible early on. By the time we were six, we could recite from memory Psalm 23 and John 3:16, and by the time we were twelve or so, we knew other scriptures (such as Matthew 28:19-20) and we could name all sixty-six books of the Bible in order.
I became a Latter-day Saint four weeks before my twentieth birthday.
One day several years ago, I had a life-long Saint ask me "Where in the Bible does it say 'For God so loved the world?'" I immediately replied "John 3:16," and recited the entire verse. I was surprised she did not know the passage, but I did not express my surprise.
I think that some Saints are more familiar with the Book of Mormon than they are with the Bible.

@ sunnyrainy
You do know that a good chunk of Isaiah and the New Testament can be found in the Book of Mormon. :)
I study about the bible but my lack of knowledge doesn't bother me. I can still interact with other Christians. They can teach me more about the bible and I can teach them more about the Book of Mormon.
It is a win-win situation.

Note: SunnyRainy first said 4 decades, then 10 years; first said no Bible then
said cursory lip service for Jesus.
Not having as much teaching experience as others. when I taught Primary (less than 10 years ago) it went: D&C, BoM, OT, NT. As someone else said, that is two years of Bible study. Besides, I think the show demonstrates something contrary to what SunnyRainy is trying to imply.

What's the difference between "Layers" and "Tiers"?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Source: Rockford Lhotka, Should all apps be n-tier?
Read Scott Hanselman's post on the issue: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/AReminderOnThreeMultiTierLayerArchitectureDesignBroughtToYouByMyLateNightFrustrations.aspx
Layers refer to logical seperation of code. Logical layers help you organise your code better. For example an application can have the following layers.
1)Presentation Layer or UI Layer 2)Business Layer or Business Logic Layer 3)Data Access Layer or Data Layer
The aboove three layers reside in their own projects, may be 3 projects or even more. When we compile the projects we get the respective layer DLL. So we have 3 DLL's now.
Depending upon how we deploy our application, we may have 1 to 3 tiers. As we now have 3 DLL's, if we deploy all the DLL's on the same machine, then we have only 1 physical tier but 3 logical layers.
If we choose to deploy each DLL on a seperate machine, then we have 3 tiers and 3 layers.
So, Layers are a logical separation and Tiers are a physical separation. We can also say that, tiers are the physical deployment of layers.
I've found a definition that says that Layers are a logical separation and tiers are a physical separation.
The two-tier pattern represents a client and a server.
In this scenario, the client and server may exist on the same machine, or may be located on two different machines. Figure below, illustrates a common Web application scenario where the client interacts with a Web server located in the client tier. This tier contains the presentation layer logic and any required business layer logic. The Web application communicates with a separate machine that hosts the database tier, which contains the data layer logic.
Advantages of Layers and Tiers:
A 1-Tier application could be a 3-Layer application.
I use layers to describe the architect or technology stack within a component of my solutions. I use tiers to logically group those components typically when network or interprocess communication is involved.
Yes my dear friends said correctly.
Layer is a logical partition of application whereas tier is physical partition of system
tier partition is depends on layer partition. Just like an application execute on single machine but it follows 3 layered architecture, so we can say that layer architecture could be exist in a tier architecture.
In simple term 3 layer architecture can implement in single machine then we can say that its is 1 tier architecture. If we implement each layer on separate machine then its called
3 tier architecture. A layer may also able to run several tier.
In layer architecture related component to communicate to each other easily.
A client could interact to "presentation layer", but they access public component of below layer's (like business logic layer's public component) to "business logic layer" due to security reason.
other need like after developing application we need to change dbms or modify business logic etc. then it is necessary to all.
Q * why we use tier architecture?
because physically implementation of each layer gives a better efficiency ,without layer architecture we can not implement tier architecture. separate machine to implement separate
tier and separate tier is implement one or more layer that's why we use it.
Simple example
Just like a bank open in a chamber, in which categories the employee:
they all are the related components of system.
If we going to bank for loan purpose then first a gate keeper open the door with smile after that we goes to near a person that introduce to all scheme of loan after that we goes to manager cabin and pass the loan. After that finally we goes to cashier's counter take loan. These are layer architecture of bank.
What about tier? A bank's branch open in a town, after that in another town, after that in another but what is the basic requirement of each branch
exactly the same concept of layer and tier.
Why always trying to use complex words?
A layer = a part of your code, if your application is a cake, this is a slice.
A tier = a physical machine, a server.
A tier hosts one or more layers.
Example of layers:
Your code is hosted on a server = Your code is hosted on a tier.
Your code is hosted on 2 servers = Your code is hosted on 2 tiers.
For example, one machine hosting the Web Site itself (the Presentation layer), another machine more secured hosting all the more security sensitive code (real business code - business layer, database access layer, etc.).
There are so many benefits to implement a layered architecture. This is tricky and properly implementing a layered application takes time. If you have some, have a look at this post of Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ee658109.aspx
Best, Andrew
Layers are conceptual entities, and are used to separate the functionality of software system from a logical point of view; when you implement the system you organize these layers using different methods; in this condition we refer to them not as layers but as tiers.
Layers are logical separation of
Tires are Physical separation of
As shown in diagram:
n-Tire advantages:
A layer is a logical module of software with its own core logic and boundaries.
A tier is a physical container of one or more layers, such as a server across a network or multiple instances of the same Virtual Machine, working in a load-balanced way.

Bought the lettuce knife for my daughter she loves it
Excellent Knife

About Me Casual Cook
Using this knife on lettuce will NOT cause it to brown. I've looked for one everywhere!
By mamabear
from wichita,kansas@ the burn out bar&grill
i'm a professional cook, and this saves us money on having to toss out browned lettuce or cukes. it is also legal for my boss's daughter to use at age 12 while i'm teaching her in our kitchen. she LOVES being able to help and learn, and this helps her to learn knife skills until she's of legal age to use real knives.

Excellant product
By olglory
from St Cloud, FL
I love the size of this knife, I've replaced the small one I had.
Great for cutting BROWNIES very neatly!
By uptoolatenow
from OK
This knife cuts brownies without making a mess of them like regular knives do. I've used it for many years and bought some for relatives, too. I prefer this straight edge vs. others with a curved cutting edge. Works great!

This does keep lettuce from turning brown when you are making a salad that will be kept for several days such as a layered salad.
Best there is!!
By joycooker
from Yucca Valley, CA
I lost mine and was really having a problem. I loved it so much that I couldn't live without this knife. My lettuce lasts alot longer when I use this perfect knife.

"OUR FIRST TOWN IN ENGLAND WAS DOVER" Top 5 Page for this destination Dover by balhannah
Dover Travel Guide: 353 reviews and 743 photos
The White Cliff's of Dover
I think everybody must have heard of these cliffs!
White, [well not pure] they were, and they stretched for miles along the English coastline.
I had read many reports that Dover didn't have much to offer, perhaps it hasn't for some people, but I really wished I had a little more time to explore!
A must visit is the information centre if you have only just arrived in England. It would have to be one of the best I have ever been to.
There was information and plenty of free brochure's on all over England and free for you to take! Plenty of staff on hand to help, souvenirs, and some maps, books, etc, that you have to pay for.
It was located quite close to the Maison Dieu.
The Dover website is excellent, and has lots of information on the town itself and the surrounding area.
If you wish to join me on my tour around some of England, please click on the next town link listed DEAL
- Pros:Quite a lot of history
- Cons:Busy and hard to find a car park
- In a nutshell:Worth more than a "drive through!"

Thanks! This page is very interesting! I hope to visit this place on one day!
When we were in Dover I don't believe there were any tours of the castle. We just wandered around on our own. But this was over thirty years ago.
Thank you for this very interesting page! I've made quite a few trips to England but have not yet managed to get steered in that direction upon landing! Beautiful photos and great tips on the historic past of this special place in England.
Too often I've just driven straight through Dover, the next time I'll make sure to stop there. Thank you for the great pictures and the information.
Good page on my home town. Would be good to meet for coffee next time you are in the area.
in all likelihood this will be my first city to visit to England. very nicely built tips Dee.
Dee.. I find that we often like the places that others think are boring. Dover was actually very interesting. Glad you liked it too. Tom
Very nice tips on Dover! Sounds like a place I definitely should visit!
Thank you Dee for bringing back memory about the White Cliffs of Dover which I saw when crossed the English Channel on my way to GB in 2005... But it was in the late evening and I saw nothing in the city of Dover.

Feb 2013 - The Sands of Life (part 1)

A couple of notes about the stories:
The April story features the guest appearance oif Jago and Litefoot.
The final two episodes have Romana I encountering the Daleks.
K-9 appears in stories 2, 5, 6 & 7. There are possibly more but's that all I see with K-9 listed in.
They have also announced that a new series will be made with Leela as companion again in 2014. No word if K-9 will be with them or not, but I expect that Big Finish to continue with the stories that take place after "TheTaolns of Weng-Chiang" and before "The Horror of Fang Rock".

Thanks for the BBC confirmation and the information about Tom Ward also being cast in the special. Like yourself, I am not familiar with his work. I don't think I had seen him in anything as of yet, unless I saw that the H.G. Wells thing he did, I don't recall if I saw it or not.

Richard E. Grant is known for his voice work on "Scream of the Shalka" but he may be better well-known for his role in the Francis Ford Copola version of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" where hr played the part of Dr. Seward and more recently the movie "The Iron Lady".

New "Doctor Who" specials on BBC America
Cool. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info.
New "Doctor Who" specials on BBC America
Since the first special aired last night (The Science of "Doctor Who") I thought that I'd check to see if the special was available on iTunes and you'll be glad to know that the first special is there.
However since I'm in the USA it might not be available for other markets (like the UK, Australia, Germany etc...) I can only suggest that you use the search on your version of iTumes and look for the specials by title.
Top Five Henchmen - Den of Geek choices
One that I would remove from the list would be Tasmin Drew - not because it's not a televised episode but because she wasn't that much of a henchman in my eyes.
I would include the robots (from "Robots of Death") because when they were reprogrammed they became cold emotionless henchmen to their new boss Taren Capel, that would even kill for him without a second thought.
Another inclusion would be Mr. Sin (from "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"). He was a killer and henchman for the maniacal Magnus Greel in the story and did so with no concern for the consequences to himself.

Thanks for posting this... I had heard that there would be some BBC America specials coming this way, but not their titles. "The Science of Doctor Who" --- interesting. I didn't think there was any left in the series as of the last several years. Do the writers of the series know about it?
Hopefully these specials will find their way to iTunes after they are broadcast, but who knows (no pun intended).

Opportunity, risk seen in Obama's meeting with pope, advisers say
The meeting between the two "should be a warm and personal, pastoral discussion," said one adviser to the administration on the Catholic Church, who asked not to be named so as not to be seen as speaking on the matter before White House officials.
Some advisers said the trip would be only positive for Obama for several reasons.
First is Francis' obvious global popularity. Second, appearing with a pope who spoke sharply against the U.S. even exploring military intervention in Syria and calls "trickle-down theories" unproven might make the president appear more moderate in comparison and help Obama with critics who consider him a radical leftist. It also could shore up his standing with U.S. Catholics, half of whom voted for the president (down from 53 percent in 2008).
Michael Sean Winters, who covers the church for the National Catholic Reporter, said the two men may find connection in having the same opponents.
"[Francis] knows that there is a conservative narrative that contains the pope and the president in a very negative light. So their criticisms of Obama are taken with a grain of salt," said Winters.
Others who have advised the White House said there may be discussion of immigration and that the meeting with the Argentine will generally bring attention to the fact that the U.S. Catholic Church is quickly turning Latino. The majority of American Catholics under 35 are Latino, and new research by a major Catholic fundraising umbrella group showed Latino Catholics are becoming more involved in institutional U.S. giving (compared with sending money home). U.S. bishops are scheduled to make an unusually prominent visit March 30 to the U.S.-Mexico border and celebrate Mass there, noting in announcing the trip that Francis' first travel as pope was to the Italian island of Lampedusa to remember African migrants who died crossing into Europe.
"The U.S.-Mexico border is our Lampedusa," the bishops said in the statement announcing their trip.
House Speaker John Boehner has urged fellow Republicans to work with Obama on immigration and the Ohio Catholic just last week initiated an invitation to Francis to speak in Congress if he comes to the United States next year.
The trip could pump energy into immigration reform, experts on the Vatican and Obama said. "The pope is highly conscious of the fact that millions of Hispanics are here without citizenship and most are Catholic," said the Democratic strategist who has advised the White House.
"The majority of young Catholics in this country are Latinos, and they will see their president, who they voted for in large numbers meet their Latin American pope," said Diaz. "This cannot but be a good day for Latino Catholics."
One unknown is how the two men will highlight extreme poverty without emphasizing their different views of how to ease it, and how the pope will speak about America's role.
Free markets have created more firmly set winners and losers, a "globalization of indifference . . . a culture of prosperity deadens us," Francis wrote in a major paper in late November arguing that wealth's purpose must be to help the poor. Similarly, as the United States contemplated military action in Syria, the pope called for a fast and said "Never has the use of violence brought peace in its wake."
"Pope Francis is likely to be much less supportive of the U.S. role in the world as a global superpower than were Popes John Paul and Benedict, by virtue of [the two former popes'] backgrounds and experiences," said Stephen Schneck, head of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at Catholic University and an adviser on Catholics to the 2012 Obama campaign. "And even more so in regards to the use of American military force abroad. I'm not suggesting there is any antipathy, but given his background the pope will be more wary about the U.S. role in the world."

In optics, photobleaching (sometimes termed fading) is the photochemical alteration of a dye or a fluorophore molecule such that it permanently is unable to fluoresce. This is caused by cleaving of covalent bonds or non-specific reactions between the fluorophore and surrounding molecules.[1] In microscopy, photobleaching may complicate the observation of fluorescent molecules, since they will eventually be destroyed by the light exposure necessary to stimulate them into fluorescing. This is especially problematic in time-lapse microscopy.
However, photobleaching may also be used prior to applying the (primarily antibody-linked) fluorescent molecules, in an attempt to quench autofluorescence. This can help to improve signal-to-noise ratio.
Photobleaching may also be exploited to study the motion and/or diffusion of molecules, for example via the FRAP or FLIP techniques.
Loss of activity caused by photobleaching can be controlled by reducing the intensity or time-span of light exposure, by increasing the concentration of fluorophores, by reducing the frequency and thus the photon energy of the input light, or by employing more robust fluorophores that are less prone to bleaching (e.g. Alexa Fluors or DyLight Fluors). To a reasonable approximation, a given molecule will be destroyed after a constant exposure (intensity of emission X emission time X number of cycles) because, in a constant environment, each absorption-emission cycle has an equal probability of causing photobleaching.
Depending on their specific chemistry, molecules can photobleach after absorbing just a few photons, while more robust molecules can undergo many absorption/emission cycles before destruction:
- Green fluorescent protein: 104-105 photons; 0.1-1 second lifetime.
- Typical organic dye: 105-106 photons; 1-10 second lifetime.
- CdSe/ZnS Quantum dot: 108 photons; > 1000 seconds lifetime.
This use of the term "lifetime" is not to be confused with the "lifetime" measured by fluorescence lifetime imaging.

Piemonte and Portofino Tours
Glory Either Side of the Apennines
With towns like Barolo and Barbaresco—not to mention its famous truffles—it's easy to understand why Piemonte is a gourmand's paradise. And, as with most places whose livelihood is so closely tied to the land, the people here are down-to-earth (pardon the pun), and the countryside as beautiful as it is bountiful. Across the mountains to the south lies the majestic Ligurian coast, whose crown jewel is Portofino, seaside home to glitterati and the yachting crowd. Together they provide an ideal combination of earthly goodness and unearthly glamour that in many ways encapsulates Italy.

Trip Details
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they've had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
"I can't say I really 'work out,' but I'm in good shape and am relatively active."
"I enjoy a good walk or ride, and feel comfortable while on the move."
"I get moving at least once a week, and don't mind a little sweat."
"I get moving a few times per week and enjoy some exertion."

Head into the heart of the Langhe and the village of Montelupo Albese to start on our amazingly quiet ridge walk. Enjoy a cellar tour and taste the fabulous wines over lunch at their trattoria with homemade antipasti and pastas.
Start your walk in the lovely Alta Langa, Piemonte's "wild fringe" of hazelnut groves, forests and fields. En route, meet up with our friend and trifulao (truffle hunter) Beppe and his trusty dog Diana to search for the famous local truffle. After, enjoy a delightful picnic buffet in the hamlet of San Bovo.
Plunge deeper into the heart of the Barolo Langhe today. Stroll the quiet, gentle ridge roads and trails through world-renowned vineyards into Monforte d'Alba, Novello and Barolo.Tonight our private chef calls us "a tavola" to dinner right in our intimate hotel, an evening to write home about. Salute!
Today we head to the sea! Walk among villas to the historic fishing village of Camogli to try their delicious focaccia, then cross the beautiful Monte di Portofino park to our amazing digs. Later, stroll down to Portofino's picturesque harbor for a bit of history and who's-who over cocktails before exploring the town's many dinner options on your own.
Enjoy a boat cruise out of the azure Bay of Dolphins to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso. After a quick visit, traverse back home on pine-shaded trails through Portofino Regional Park. Tonight, celebrate our walking exploration with a farewell aperitivo on the hotel terrace, followed by a candle lit dinner of local specialties.
After breakfast together, we will drop you off at the train station in Rapallo, from which trains leave frequently both north and southbound. Private rides to the airport in nearby Genoa can be facilitated by your guides and the hotel, on request. Arrivederci!
