HARRISBURG - It's the Pennsylvania Capitol's version of Groundhog Day: Lawmakers start the new year with a list of priorities. And privatizing the sale of wine and liquor is again near the top.
Legislative leaders emerged from a nearly monthlong break this week to say that they were again working with the Corbett administration to figure out how to change the way consumers buy alcohol. All said they were "cautiously optimistic" a deal could be brokered by the early part of this year.

giant axonal neuropathy
Giant axonal neuropathy is an inherited condition involving dysfunction of a specific type of protein in nerve cells (neurons). The protein is essential for normal nerve function because it forms neurofilaments. Neurofilaments make up a structural framework that helps to define the shape and size of the neurons. This condition is characterized by abnormally large and dysfunctional axons, which are the specialized extensions of nerve cells that are required for the transmission of nerve impulses.
Giant axonal neuropathy generally appears in infancy or early childhood. It progresses slowly as neuronal injury becomes more severe. Signs of giant axonal neuropathy usually begin in the peripheral nervous system, which governs movement and sensation in the arms, legs, and other parts of the body. Most individuals with this disorder first have problems with walking. Later they may lose sensation, coordination, strength, and reflexes in their limbs. Hearing and visual problems may also occur. Extremely kinky hair (as compared to others in the family) is characteristic of giant axonal neuropathy, occurring in almost all affected people.
As the disorder progresses, the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) may become involved, causing a gradual decline in mental function, loss of control of body movement, and seizures.
Giant axonal neuropathy is a very rare disorder; the incidence is unknown.
Giant axonal neuropathy is caused by mutations in the GAN gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called gigaxonin. Some GAN gene mutations change the shape of the protein, affecting how it binds to other proteins to form a functional complex. Other mutations prevent cells from producing any gigaxonin protein.
Gigaxonin is involved in a cellular function that destroys and gets rid of excess or damaged proteins using a mechanism called the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Neurons without functional gigaxonin accumulate excess neurofilaments in the axon, causing the axons to become distended. These giant axons do not transmit signals properly and eventually deteriorate, resulting in problems with movement and other nervous system dysfunction.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.

Re: Closing Aged Accounts.. Yes It Is Ok
I have read the threads and I am still confused. My situation is this. I have an average credit score of 750. I want to raise it. One of the negative points noted is the fact that I have about 42 open accounts. Now almost all of these are credit cards that offered 20% off if I opened an account. So I did. All have 0 balance. Some are very old. Do I close these accounts? Do I leave these accounts as they are? I actually have to go through these "42" accounts to see what they are. I cannot beleive I have that many.
Thank you for your assistance.

A Dangerous Method
A Dangerous Method (2011) ***
Directed by David Cronenberg
My tweet:
A Dangerous Method (2011)- Limited and on-the-nose historical adaptation. Stagey, but works because of a handful of good moments. *** of 5
Other thoughts:
Recently, I've become hooked on the late-90's/early 2000's television show Frasier about a radio psychiatrist and his practicing psychiatrist brother Niles. The show is truly brilliant and is among the best written shows I've seen. However, I am amused how incorrect the writers are when dealing with psychiatry. Niles is more of a therapist, when, in reality, psychiatrists really only prescribe medication. It's not too often that they do psychotherapy with their patients. If they did, it would be silly to go through medical school only to do something which simply requires a Masters degree.
The reason I bring this up is the fact that it was mentioned on Frasier that the title character is a Freudian while Niles is a Jungian. This, mixed with some study of Freud and someone mentioning one time that Jung was big on dream interpretation, pretty much comprises my only knowledge about these two pioneers of modern psychotherapy. Thus, I was hoping that A Dangerous Method would enlighten me to these two historical icons of the twentieth century.
I am happy to report that it does a satisfactory job of teaching its viewer about the rocky relationship between the two. In a terse letter to Freud towards the end of their friendship, Jung calls him a "father figure." That warm relationship eventually breaks due to undeniable tension which can't be repressed. The film emphasizes the irony of the fact that Freud was the discoverer of the Oedipal Complex, which states that a child is afraid of his father because he is in love with his mother and fears castration by his father due to the father's jealousy. There is a woman that Jung loves, and Freud does become jealous of Jung's breakthroughs with her. This does ultimately cause anxiety and tension. Freud analogously experiences his own theory returning to haunt him.
Keira Knightly plays this very woman, whose name is Sabina Spielrein. We first see her forced inside a mental institution. She obviously suffers from a serious mental illness, which manifests itself in brutal ticks and contortions. Alongside the physical manifestations of her illness, she's also paranoid, manic and delusional. Dr. Carl Jung, played well by the talented Michael Fassbender, is a young admirer of Freud who decides to use psychotherapy (which he prefers to call psychtherapy) to heal Sabina. A few years pass, and Sabina improves so much that she's able to enroll in medical school. As Jung continues his work, he starts to feel frustrated with Freud's insistence that our sexuality defines who we are, and there is nothing that we can do about it.
Jung's frustrations increase when he becomes friends with Freud. He doesn't want to betray his friendship and Freud's reputation by embracing his own differing conclusions. Further, he sees the dangers of Freudian theory taken to the extreme when he meets another psychiatrist named Otto Gross, played by Vincent Cassel. Gross' theory is that we shouldn't repress our sexuality at all. He practices this philosophy with his patients whom he often engages in sexual relations. Perhaps because of Freud, Gross or both, Jung begins an affair with Sabina, which goes against his ethics as a doctor. He begins to crumble with self-loathing, which isn't helped by the fact that Sabina has severe sexual dysfunctions due to her sadistic father. Because of his feelings for Sabina, who becomes a distinguished scholar of psychiatry on her own, ultimately studying under Freud, Jung discovers who he is, allowing him to break from Freud and progress with his scholarship and the conclusions which result.
Another none-too-subtle irony with this whole ordeal is that Jung, who rejects that sexuality is what is controlling us at our most base level, discovers his own identity by engaging in a very animalistic sexual relationship. His own life gives credence to Freud's theories. These analogies are among the aspects of A Dangerous Method which don't work. Everything is so literally played out, not allowing for any nuance beyond these analogies which are shoved in audiences' faces. For a movie about psychology, this film teaches nothing about the human condition. Instead, it functions with Jungian and Freudian theories in the background. Because this movie exists within these semi-arcane schools of thought, any themes that could emerge become stifled.
What does work is the history when it is actually presented. The character of Sabina is an interesting one. The debates between Freud, played as well as he could by a miscast Viggo Mortenson, and Jung about the psychology of the human person are well-written and thought-provoking. Despite the fact that we're only presented material which would be taught in the first two weeks of an Introduction to Psychology undergraduate course, Freud's focus on the past contrasts clearly with Jung's focus on the present and future. I personally find psychology fascinating, and it's these scenes that allowed me to engage with this material.
Cronenberg usually directs ultra-violent films such as A History of Violence, Eastern Promises and The Fly. This costume drama seems like a departure for him, but there are a handful of brutally uncomfortable scenes that could only come from Cronenberg's dark vision. A Dangerous Mind is adapted from a play and a book, and it's these scenes which frees it from its otherwise stagy feel. That being said, the scenes are gratuitous and feel like they belong in another movie altogether. Another flaw is Keira Knightly's performance. She has charisma, but she overacts all the way through, employing a brutal Russian accent which grates on the nerves.
Psychology enthusiasts will most likely somewhat meet this movie on its own terms. I fear that everyone else will find A Dangerous Method frustrating and unsatisfying. Though I could never find out the answer, I'd bet money that Frasier and Niles would scoff at the simplicity with which the early history of psychoanalysis is dealt. On the other hand, Freud and Jung wouldn't recognize anything they saw on Frasier regarding the subject they pioneered.

Pakistan Military Needs to Explain on Bin Laden, Levin Says
Pakistan's army and intelligence officials must explain whether they knew of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts before he was killed in a U.S. mission, said Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin.
Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari must question his own military and intelligence officials about whether they knew bin Laden was staying at a fortified villa near Islamabad.
"I hope that he will follow through and ask some very tough questions of his own military and his own intelligence," Levin said at a news conference with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. "They've got a lot of explaining to do."
Bin Laden was killed yesterday almost a decade after orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed almost 3,000 people at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in suburban Washington and a field in Pennsylvania where hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 crashed. The al-Qaeda leader was killed, after a decade on the run, in a firefight with a team of U.S. operatives who raided the compound where he had been hiding.
The three-story compound had security measures, including walls as high as 18 feet topped with barbed wire, U.S. officials said. Officials said they didn't know for certain how long bin Laden had been living there.
'Reluctant Ally'
Alabama Republican Senator Richard Shelby, in an interview today on Bloomberg Television, said he believed some Pakistani officials knew where bin Laden was hiding.
"Pakistan is what I would call a reluctant ally," Shelby said. "They've got one foot in the camp with the Taliban and one foot with us."
Reid of Nevada said he was notified about the attack last night by the White House and spoke with the president about it. Reid, the Senate's top Democrat, said Obama doesn't have plans to change the schedule for drawing down troop levels in Afghanistan as a result of yesterday's developments.
"I think that's appropriate," Reid said.
Both Reid and Levin hailed bin Laden's death as a significant step forward in efforts to curb the threat of terrorism.
"Today Americans across the country are welcoming the news that this awful man, this man who epitomized evil, has been brought to justice by American forces," Reid said. "His death is the most significant victory in our fight against al-Qaeda and sends a strong message to terrorists around the world."

Bank of New York, which agreed last month to acquire Mellon Financial in a $16.5 billion deal, reported Thursday that fourth-quarter net income that beat analysts' expectations.
Three of the four largest U.S. trust banks -- which manage money, hold securities and process trades for clients -- reported strong earnings on Wednesday, as demand rose for their asset management and servicing products.
Mellon said fourth-quarter profit rose 14% as demand for the money management and asset servicing company's fee-based businesses surged .
The combination of two storied names in American finance will create a powerhouse in custody services for institutional investors and one of the biggest asset managers.
Stocks closed sharply higher on a big day for corporate mergers, but investors may turn their attention back to the economy on Tuesday.
As we've reported --there's been yet more consolidation in the banking sector. The big deal today of course involves Bank Of New York buying Mellon Financial in an all stock deal worth $16.5 billion. The acquisition creates the world's largest securities servicing and asset management company with more than $1.3 trillion under management.
Mellon Financial Corp and Bank of New York will be merging in a deal most on the Street feel makes good sense. BK shareholders will get 0.9434 shares in the new company while Mellon shareholders will receive 1 share. The combined company will be the world's largest asset custodian and corporate trustee.
Mergers and acquisitions momentum has driven the markets today. Four big deals were initiated: Bank of New York and Mellon Financial; LSI Logic and Agere Systems; Pilgrim's Pride and Gold Kist; and Station Casinos got a buyout offer from a group including its chairman for $4.7 billion.

A bit more on this M&A Monday--we mentioned LSI Logic buying Agere Systems. Now it's the Bank of New York announcing its intentions to buy Mellon Financial for $16.5 billion dollars in stock. The new company will have $1.1 trillion dollars in assets under management – making it one of the top 10 asset managers in the world.

An Overland Park woman is on cloud nine, and she's sitting there in a brand new truck.
That's because Mary Geurin's lottery tickets have paid off.
Lottery Executive Director Ed Van Petten handed Geurin the keys to her new 2008 GMC Sierra truck at Bill Kobach Buick GMC on Thursday.
Geurin says she sent in between 30 and 50 Hot Lotto Sizzler entries to be entered into the lottery's Sizzling Sierra drawing.
Geurin and her husband, Lyle, say they have no plans for any big trips in the new truck.
The total grand prize package includes the crew cab truck, payment of taxes, registration and license tag fees. All of that is estimated at $70,000.

Kill The Pig, Spill His Blood
Lord of the Flies centers around the transformation of well-behaved mates to an expedition of vicious, bloodthirsty children. Director Andy Baldwin tackles the story in KD Studio Theatre's newest play.

Soon some younger boys, complaining of nightmares, believe there's a monster lurking amongst them. In William Goldberg's classic tale of survival of the fittest, the boys form alliances, appoint new tribe leaders and begin to turn on each other. Relive the madness through March 18 at the KD Studio Theatre, located at 2600 North Stemmons Freeway. Tickets range $15 to $180. Call 972-302-1801, or visit levelgroundarts.com.

Conditional library linking
Fix for an annoyance in Visual C .NET project. The
project version in CVS requires either that all
potentially used libraries (libpng, sdl_net, curses)
are present or the project itself is modified. With
this patch the project (.vcproj) does not refer to any
outside paths or libraries. All libraries are
conditionally linked based on current settings in
CONFIG.H. For example, if you don't need debugger just
set C_DEBUG to 0 and don't worry about curses.lib.
Only Visual C builds are affected. I could not test all
possible combinations of config.h settings so if I
missed something feel free to fix it and blame me.
The easiest way to setup the project is to
a) set environment variables CL and LINK, like this:
set CL=/I "c:\dev\curses\inc\" /I "c:\dev\sdl\include\"
set LINK=/LIBPATH:"c\dev\curses\lib\"
b) adjust config.h with desired settings
c) make sure proper DLLs are available on the path.
No other modifications are needed.

February 4, 2016 By Rene Leave a Comment
Experts in web design always reiterates the importance of great content in attracting and retaining visitors. Part of the discussion are both text and visual components of a website. In some cases, designers use their own photos to convey their message. However, this is not always possible. This is when the vast libraries of stock photo agencies, such as Adobe Stock, becomes an enticing solution.
There are countless images out there in the Internet, but some of them entail legal risks. To save yourself from both legal and financial damages, you should get your visual content from stock photo agencies. While the rules surrounding stock photos are straightforward, there are certain rules you need to adhere to. Each stock agency has varied requirements on the use of their images.

- You do not need a Creative Cloud account to use Adobe Stock. The stock photo agency is a stand-alone website, which means you can download content as long as you have an Adobe ID. The ID can be created for free.
- Creative Cloud members, on the other hand, enjoy various benefits. These include discounts on subscriptions and a seamless integration within their favorite CC desktop software.
- You do not have to purchase an image to try it out. You can use the low resolution version for free to see if it fits your design and message. You can purchase the high resolution version when you decide to license the asset.
- All Adobe Stock photos are provided in the highest resolution available. Although the resolution depends on the camera used, the photos can accommodate high quality printed output of up to 300 dpi.
- All assets can be used in any creative project, including brochures, posters, presentations, book covers and other print materials as long as you adhere to the website's terms of use.
- When you license the image, the watermark goes away and you will receive the image in high resolution. If you are using a Creative Cloud software, it comes off automatically – saving you a couple hours of rework.
- You can edit the Adobe Stock photos in any way you think is necessary. Just make sure that you are not breaking any infringe and intellectual property laws, or any other rights of a person or entity.
There are many other points to remember when using Adobe Stock as your primary image source. But, if you adhere to all of them, you will not have any problems. With over 45 million images in its library, you will surely find something that suits your creative needs.

Choosing the Right Cheap Stock Photo Sites to Buy Cheap Stock Photos
February 13, 2015 By Rene Leave a Comment
Like any other industry, the cheap stock photo business is a competitive environment. Many cheap stock photo sites are distributed all over the market, making it harder for you to find the right one for your creative needs. Thankfully, we are here to help you with that. Here are the main contenders in the stock photo industry to help you find the right stock photo site that suits your needs and your budget.
Considered as the original microstock website, iStock has one of the biggest ranges of cheap stock photos available in the market. It also offers other creative files such as illustrations, audio clips and videos. Generally, it is regarded as having the highest quality stock photos of all microstock websites.
Thinkstock is the sister company of iStock. It offers cheaper subscription plans than its counterpart. However, the website offers photos and graphics only. They do not include videos and audio materials.
Another big name in the cheap stock photo industry is Shutterstock. It is known to be the major competitor of iStock. Dominating the stock photo market, the stock agency has over 60 million stock photos, vector, videos and music in its vast library.
BigStock is a subsidiary of Shutterstock. It has a smaller collection but still plenty to choose from. However, the stock site does not offer a subscription plan. You can purchase and download images on a Pay as You Go basis only.
Recently acquired by Adobe Stock, Fotolia is another stock photo agency with a big collection of stock photos cheap. It has over 15 million cheap photos available in its library.
Probably the lesser known cheap stock photo site among the list, Dreamstime offers a collection of free photos as well as paid content. It has over 37 million stock images and a growing collection that covers a wide range of themes and subjects.
There are a number of smaller cheap stock photo sites in the market. Many of which cater to a particular niche or theme. You can use search engines to point you to the right direction of these websites, but never use them to scour for free photos. Price is not essentially a determining factor in choosing among these websites because one is not drastically cheaper than the others.
The important thing you need to consider is the range of cheap stock images they offer and which has the best selection that fits your purposes. You can browse their collections for free and compare them. See how they stack up against each other. Then, choose the website that offers the largest and most diverse selection in your niche or theme, regardless if it is cheaper or pricier that its competitors.

At Castle, the wind is your friend....most of the time. On most days it blows consistently right up over the back of the mountain, blanketing much of the front face with fantastic wind-sifted powder. Other times, it just howls and the ride up the upper chair can be pretty interesting as the wind rips down the mountain. The upper lift has closed a few times in the PM when the wind has picked up when I've been there.
Castle is a fairly big mountain (1600 acres) with good vertical (2833 feet) and some of the best chutes anywhere. This year they have a new chair up Haig Ridge which offers more green and blue terrain but haven't skiied it yet. The lower mountain runs are mainly cruisers, with a few good steep tree runs. Centre is a pretty sweet first-run burner. If the pper chair is closed, traverse far skiers right past The BUrn to Trapper and Being There for good snow and steeps.
The upper mountain has bowls, trees and steep chutes, all acessed from two cat tracks that basically go left and right from the top of the chair. On most days with the consistent wind, the upper mountain is filled in with wind-loaded snow, and on storm days Castle is the kind of plae where your tracks disappear after each lap. Figure out the wind patterns and you'll find the best stashes...I've had good luck with the bowl area of Sherriff/Outlaw, Tamarack Bowl and the treed areas over by North Bowl and Northern Exposure. Over towards Th e Chutes area, Drifter and High Plains can be awesome, as are all the Chutes...just watch for bony windswept sections on ridgelines. Lots of cool, sparse treed terrain from forest fires.
A very laid-back mountain, with slow fixed grip lifts and minimal crowds (except weekends after a storm cycle when all of Calgary seems to be there sometimes). The base area T-Bar is a great spot for end of day beers and the new hostel at the base offers some great ski and stay deals. There are also some good larger houses to rent at the base if you have a group, some nice B&B's nearby (Aspen Grove is good...v. friendly) or else Pincher Creek for motel/hotel options.

Highly recommend Dr. Oei for your eye care. Professional staff and comfortable office environment.
Well coordinated staff using latest equipment. The Doctor is both professional and personable - and patient in dealing with a mostly geriatric patient group unfamiliar with the issues. My surgery was totally successful.
Total trust and appreciation for this brilliant, caring doctor. He offers the most professional office with the very latest in technology, a highly-trained staff, and caring, friendly management that will not tolerate anything less than the finest service possible.
Dr. Oei is one of the finest doctors that I use. He is thorough and extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend him to anyone - family and friends
I think the good Lord for giving I think the good Lord for giving Dr.Oui his gift to help people keep their sight!
Highly recommend Dr. Oei and his staff
Professional, thorough, keeps abreast of current procedures offered.
Professional, knowledgeable, and has a well run office. Shows a genuine concern for my well being. Takes the time to explain my situation and answer my questions.
Dr Oei was extremely prompt and friendly with a caring attitude; and all my issues were addressed in the same day. After a thorough evaluation, I was immediately sent for several diagnostic tests in the same office. Dr Oeiâs staff was very professional and courteous in every way. I would most definitely recommend Dr Oei to my family and friends.
He ruined my husbands eye with a lazier. I say eye because he only has one. Was rude to his employees. Had no time to talk to us. Have heard from several others what he did to them. Was not sterile in his office or personal
I noticed floaters and flashes in left eye and my optometrist, who happens to be my brother, says to get in to see someone to look at my retina. I called one doctor- couldn't see me for 3 weeks, called Dr. Oei's office and they gave me an appointment the next morning. I had two retinol tears, Dr. Oei had staff work me in and in less than 3 hours, as a new patient, I'd been examined, diagnosed ant treated with laser for the tears. I found the staff to be professional and businesslike. I didn't require education on the condition - I have my brother and the internet for that, but I do appreciate this doctor and his staff and their recognition of the time limits on this particular condition and the willingness to see & treat me. Follow up in 2 weeks.
My dad is 80 yrs old. Dr. Oei, acording to my dad was rude, and yelled at my father for moving during the procedure. My father stated he moved because the procedure hurt. The staff was nice, and had no problems booking an appointment for follow ups. But the Dr.'s are rude to patients and do not have any bedside manners.
does not expend time explaining my ailment, screams at his helpers

According to NBC News, it allegedly amounted to five tons in change. The salespeople managed to tally about half of the coins before they finally got fed up and asked the guy to pay with some other method. He put the rest of the bill on his credit card.
The report didn't directly say what type of car the man tried to buy. However, the end of the video shows the logo for Chinese automaker Soueast, which is a partner of Mitsubishi. At one time, the company even had a deal with Chrysler to sell the Dodge Caliber and Caravan there.
This guy's major faux pas was that he didn't wrap the coins himself. If he had, it would be harder for the dealer to complain. Scroll down to watch the video, and imagine how long it would take to save $16,000 in change.

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
Can you explain the many double-barrelled words, like hurly-burly, hanky-panky, willy-nilly? Shirley, email
English, like all languages, has many ways of creating new words. One of the most under-appreciated of these is something called 'reduplication'. Basically, it's a kind of repetition process, whereby the whole word or part of it is doubled. The result is a kind of compound. It's this process that gives us colourful characters like hurly-burly, hanky-panky, willy-nilly, argy-bargy, nitty-gritty, fiddle-faddle, shilly-shally — and at least 2,000 more.
The majority of these reduplicated forms involve a play on the rhyme of words. The result can be a combination of two actually existing words like 'flower-power' and 'culture-vulture'. Often time has obscured the source words and 'willy-nilly' fits in here — from 'will I, nill I' (= not will)). But more usually, one or both of the elements are meaningless as in 'super-duper' and 'namby-pamby' (or at least they appear meaningless to us today). It has always struck me that how many of these jingles involve an 'h'. There are Shirley's two examples 'hurly burly', and 'hanky panky', but also many more: hoity-toity, higgledy-piggledy, hokey-pokey, hob-nob, heebie-jeebies, hocus-pocus, hugger mugger, hodge-podge, hurdy gurdy, hubbub, hullabaloo, harum scarum, helter skelter, hurry scurry, hooley dooley and don't forget humpty-dumpty. And these are just a few! The 'h' consonant appears so frequently in these expressions that it almost looks as if it at one time was a kind of default consonant in this rhyming process.
It can happen that the 'h' word is an existing word, as in 'handy dandy' or 'hurry scurry'. More usually, though, it's a bit of nonsense. This can be because the words are now dead and gone, or because sound change has altered them beyond recognition. Meaning shifts can be spectacular too. Take the expression 'harum scarum'. It's perhaps not used much anymore, but it basically means "recklessly" or "wildly". Most wordsmiths derive it from 'hare-them' plus 'scare-them' — 'hare' was an old verb meaning "to worry, or frighten". Another example might be the verb 'hob-nob'. It derives from the forms of two verbs 'habb(an)' the ancestor of Modern English 'have' and 'nabb(an)' a now extinct verb meaning literally "not have". In Shakespeare's time, 'hob-nob' referred to something that was hit and miss or random.
This leads me to something else striking about this group of words. It's extraordinary how many of them refer to commotion and confusion. In the 1500s, the expression 'hurley burley' meant "turmoil, confusion" — an early word for commotion was 'hurling' and this was the basis for 'hurling burling' and later 'hurley burley'. A good number of these expressions also involve trickery and skulduggery of some sort. 'Hanky panky' originally referred to trickery before it moved onto sexual dalliance. It was a remodelling of 'hocus pocus' — a glorious 17th century term for "conjuring or deception". It comes from the first part of a string of mock Latin that conjurers would say at the start of their performance: "Hocus pocus, tontus talontus, vade celeriter jubeo". The 'hocus pocus' part is supposedly a corruption of Latin 'Hoc est Corpus'.
Most English language textbooks (if they mention reduplication at all) explain its contribution as a very marginal one. The examples given are often those of the nursery like 'bowwow' and 'dindins'. Clearly reduplication is more interesting than this — and worthy of far more scholarly attention than it usually receives!
The plural of foot is feet. Why do people say "Five foot tall", when speaking of the height of a person? Eddie, Vic
It was common in medieval English for measure words like foot, mile, pound, pair, stone to appear without any plural –s, especially when they occurred after numbers. The reason for this is two-fold.
One, the lack of marking is left over from a very old construction that was around in Old English times when numerals triggered what was called the genitive plural — this was an –a ending. The ending disappeared, along with all the other grammatical markers that were around in early English times (Modern English plural –s is one of only seven survivors). When the ending dropped off, this left the word unchanged for plural and curious expressions like four-day wait, seven-year itch, six foot basketball player and ten year-old girl are fossils in the modern language.
The other source for this lack of marking would have come from the group of s-less plurals such as 'year' and 'winter'. These words, like 'sheep' today, didn't take any ending when pluralised. This pattern of no marking might well have extended to other measure words and this then reinforced the tendency for zero marking in measure constructions.

Genre: All-Sex
In these uncertain times, the job of baker is a good career choice, judging by Wet Dreams. The pay may suck, but the sex more than makes up for it.
Three of the six scenes revolve around bakers filling the holes of willing women. One girl gets covered in flour as her doughnuts are reamed by two master bakers on the work table. Alex Dane gets worked over by her bakery-owner boyfriend; he frosts her asshole with his personal formula. In the final bakery-themed scene, the delivery hunk gives a customer her two special-order pies, all over her magnificent body and his cock.
The remaining three scenes feature threesomes or moresomes as two or three guys do one or two girls in a machine shop, a backyard, and the living room.
Directors Jack and Jeff Nichols have an excellent feel for the capabilities of the video medium, and a sure grasp of what makes for a hot sex scene.


text: Unless I'm watching David Letterman, I don't pay attention to lists. I try not to publish articles involving lists of top moments or top players. I even managed to ignore NFL Network's recent Top 100 players list. If we're going to be honest, lists are just an interesting way to fill airtime. With that said — or written — there are two NFL analysts that have earned my respect especially when it comes to quarterback evaluations. The two people I trust are Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden.

It is not unusual to develop a viral illness that causes a fever during pregnancy or after your delivery. Mild fevers that last only a short time usually are not a concern.
An ongoing fever that does not get better with home treatment, such as taking acetaminophen, or that does not improve after several days may mean that you have a more serious problem, such as a bacterial infection. Talk to your doctor if:
- A fever develops and you have other health risks, such as diabetes or other chronic conditions.
- A fever develops with other symptoms, such as symptoms of a kidney infection.
- Dehydration develops.
- A mild fever without an obvious cause lasts longer than 4 full days.
- A fever without an obvious cause comes back more than once in 3 weeks.
- A fever with an increase in vaginal discharge or a bad smell from vaginal discharge.
Remember, fever is only a symptom. Often the importance of a fever can only be seen when other symptoms are present.

Carolyn Hax: Readers offer advice on kids being bullied
While Carolyn is away, a reader gives the advice
On not raising a bully:
So often we hear today about "helicopter" parents who, in the words of the old hymn, try with all their might to keep their little "special" darlings "safe and secure from all alarm." Cannot be done and even should not be done. If one is not taught how to fight back or does not learn early on about the slings and arrows of misfortune (no, life is not fair), then he/she limps into adulthood and soon realizes that his/her parents did no great favors in their protection, not to mention for their friendship. (How smarmy that sounds: My parents were not my buddies.)
I was bullied in grammar school by two older boys who made my life hell. One day, I was walking down the street and saw them coming toward me from the opposite direction, on their bikes. "Oh poop," I thought. When they got close, I looked them in the eye and said, "Why don't you just kiss my butt!" They stood there for a bit, shocked, and then began to laugh. As they rode off on their bikes, one of them said to me, "You know, you're all right!" A lesson was learned that afternoon: Although I was no good at defending myself physically, making your bully laugh sometimes works.
When I think of such stories, I am always grateful for having grown up when I did, with whom I did, and where I did. And for having parents and family who did not even try to shield us from reality. So many kids today enter life at a disadvantage. -- C.

I began to use Textmate. When it's focused, it read the project directory recursively and it stops responding for a while.
So I installed ReMate plugin and it adds option for 'Disable Refresh on Regaining Focus'. It's good. But when I add a file, I have to right click on the Project Drawer and select 'Refresh All Projects' to open the new file.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'Refresh All Projects'? Or is there a better way for my usage?

I was so excited to order this jacket when i saw it here for the price, i jumped at it considering the same type goes for about 10 bucks more at old navy. The style is nice and its true to size. I'm 5ft 11 and the sleeves are just right. Cant wait to wear it come spring over my long dresses and other items.
I ordered both washes of the denim jackets. Although I was disappointed that they ran large (neglected to check size chart). I'm a size 14 and the XL was too big. The darker wash looked better and was a bit smaller. I really wish I could have gotten my hands on the white. Great price for a very versatile piece.
Very impressed at the quality of this jacket!! Midweight denim, true to size, sleeves plenty long enough, perfect casual styling. Buy this if need affordable jacket. I wore last night and loved it!!!
Love this jacket,exactly what I've been looking for. Great fit. Have suggested it to many friends. I own many denim jackets and this has become my goto for wearing with skirts and dresses,it looks much richer than the price I paid. My only regret is that I haven't been able to get it in white as it's always out of stock.
Well made at an exceptional price but, the sleeves are WAY too long! I shortened them nearly 2". My arms are normal length for my height. If you aren't capable of alterations or, not interested in same, this won't work for you. If you have long arms, shades of orangutan, buy it!
I was hesitant about purchasing it, but when I receive the jacket I was very pleased! It's true to size and is lightweight, which is what I really needed. I purchased both medium wash and dark wash.
its great but the sizes run too big i wear L/XL and i had to return it for a medium but over i wore it with my maxi dress and aww too cute :D
For the price I was expecting it to be no more than a denim shirt, but it is a very nice denim jacket.
Great style, and lightweight, which makes it easy to wear during the warmer weather.
I ordered this jacket in the dark denim, I was really pleased when I received it.

China Steel Stocks May Be Rising, Steel Market Intelligence Says
Steel inventories may be rising in China, the world's biggest producer of the metal, as economic growth slows and output climbs before potential power cuts, Steel Market Intelligence said.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. today cut its forecast for Chinese gross domestic product growth in 2011 to 9.4 percent from 10 percent. GDP gained 9.8 percent last year, according to government figures. The reduction underscores increasing concern among investors about the effect of Premier Wen Jiabao's efforts to curb credit and rein in inflation in the world's fastest-growing major economy.
"Logic would dictate that there are invisible Chinese inventories piling up ahead of cutbacks, which worries us about the direction of the global market," Michelle Applebaum, managing partner at Chicago-based Steel Market Intelligence, said in a note yesterday. She cited rising steel production in the country, a weakening economy and possible power rationing this summer.
China may face an electricity shortfall of 30 million kilowatts during this year's summer peak that might reduce industrial output by 3.6 percentage points, analysts including Lu Yanjin at Industrial Securities wrote in a report on May 20. The country made about 47 percent of the world's crude steel in April, according to the World Steel Association.
National steel production rose 9.1 percent from a year earlier to 232.6 million metric tons in this year's first four months, according to the China Economic Information Network.

I hate making decisions. I'm one of those people that when given the choice between hard ice cream and soft-serve, I have a panic attack. I love all ice cream! How is someone supposed to make that choice? So whenever there's an opportunity for me to choose "both" instead of one or the other, I jump on it. No, this isn't an advertisement for Dairy Queen. This is a review of the Seidio CONVERT Combo for the HTC Thunderbolt. Why choose between hard and soft when you could have both?

Happy Birthday Sam!!! :). Miss you!
Getting some things done around here! Had a good coupon for Carter's, so busted out some fall clothes shopping for the boys. We're still in the 80s during the day, but it's in the 50s/60s in the morning, so I know we'll be cold soon! Have to get the toys in the basement organized. Their room is finished and the carpet is coming tomorrow so they'll finally have a space of their own again!! I also want to move it out of the way so I can get my Halloween decor out! Otherwise, tumble for Alyssa today and I think we'll go get some mums to plant. I love fall...just hate what comes after!

The Army is fundamentally changing the way we fight and creating
a force more responsive to the strategic requirements of the Nation.
We are building a joint precision maneuver capability that can enter
a theater at the time and place of our choosing, maneuver at will
to gain positional advantage, deliver precise joint fires and, if
necessary, close with and destroy the enemy.
The Objective Force is an army designed from the bottom up around
a single, networked, integrated C4ISR architecture that will link
us to joint, interagency, and multi-national forces. It will be
a rapidly deployable, mounted formation, seamlessly integrated into
the joint force and capable of delivering decisive victory across
the spectrum of military operations. Consolidated, streamlined branches
and military operational specialties comprised of professional warfighters
will be poised to transition rapidly from disaster relief to high-end
warfighting operations.
The Objective Force and its Future Combat System of Systems will
leverage and deliver with precision the combat power of joint and
strategic assets. It is a capabilities-based force that rapidly
responds to the requirements of the strategic environment in which
our Soldiers will be the most strategically relevant and decisively
capable landpower – no matter the mission, no matter the threats,
no matter the risks.
In the final analysis, The Army's combat power does not wear
tracks or wheels – it wears boots. No platform or weapon system
can match a Soldier's situational curiosity and awareness.
It is the Soldiers' ability to discern and to think, their
ingenuity and resourcefulness, their endurance and perseverance,
and their plain grit that make them the most reliable precision
weapon in our inventory. Soldiers remain the centerpiece of our
To help guide our Transformation efforts, The Army leverages lessons-learned
from extensive experimentation and wargaming. We are working to
harness the power of knowledge, the benefits of science and technology,
and innovative business solutions to transform both the Operational
and Institutional Army into the Objective Force. The Army's
annual Title 10 Wargames provide critical insights for developing
the Objective Force. Likewise, results from joint experiments –
Millennium Challenge '02 and other service Title 10 Wargames
like Global Engagement, Navy Global, and Expeditionary Warrior,
to name a few – also inform these efforts.
The Army is fully committed to joint experimentation as a means
to examine and assess Objective Force contributions to the strategic,
operational, and tactical levels of joint warfare. The Army has
established a joint / Army Concept Development and Experimentation
(CD&E) Task Force to ensure that Army CD&E efforts are synchronized
with joint CD&E. This task force makes certain that joint experiment
lessons-learned inform the design and development of the Objective
Force. This year, The Army's Title 10 Wargame – co-hosted
by Commander, Joint Forces Command – will focus on the Joint
Force that will fight the next battle. Linked to Joint Forces Command's
Pinnacle Impact 03 experiment, it will be conducted within the context
of a future 1-4-2-1 global scenario and the emerging Joint Operations
Concept. The Army is committed to these efforts, and in this budget
we have nearly doubled last year's funding of these exercises.
Joint, interagency, multinational, and Army warfighting experiments
provide invaluable opportunities for The Army to experiment with
innovative approaches to warfighting and to test new tactics, techniques,
procedures, organizations, processes, and technology. In Millennium
Challenge 2002, the largest joint experiment in U.S. history, The
Army demonstrated four vital capabilities it brings to the joint
• the
ability to attain and maintain information superiority (knowledge)
the ability to conduct decisive maneuver to enable dominant joint
• the
ability to defeat the opposition in an anti-access environment through
rapid entry and employment capabilities
• the
ability to support and sustain rapid combat power efficiently by
reducing the operational and tactical logistics footprint
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team
(SBCT) concepts for battalion and company operations in a Joint
Force, The Army employed a SBCT unit during Millennium Challenge.
Less than four weeks after Stryker vehicles were delivered to the
first unit at Fort Lewis, the unit demonstrated rapid air and sealift
deployability and integrated into the exercise well. Additionally,
when given a mission on short notice to support a Marine Corps unit
in ground operations, the SBCT unit demonstrated its agility and

AbstractImproved dissemination of software, updates, messages, and data in tactical networks require new and adaptive systems to improve war fighter's decision making abilities, performance and systems readiness. Degradation of services across platforms needs to be avoided while reducing update times for C4I applications, techniques and technologies in tactical networks including remote nodes with limited and intermittent communications. The Agent based Viral Object Caching and Dissemination Overlay (AVOCADO) system provides a novel dissemination system for existing networks (such as the GCCS-M in Tactical networks) based on an overlay data caching system using agents, data objects, and automation scripts. Existing update management systems send files from a base node to each other node, causing countless redundant data paths. AVOCADO will stop redundant data transfer and wasted bandwidth while guaranteeing delivery of data, software and updates to all needed nodes.

Tried it, with great hope since was looking for something like this, but most simular timers/expire/ect. plugins either do not work or just not have all the features I need.
This sounded great, but nothing expires. The page is still shown, no redirect. I did notice that after publishing the page ALL fields of the plugin (under the edit area of a page) are empty unselected. My guess is that , that should not happen, because it seems like the selected expire date/time and other fields should stay in there.
See what happens, hope it gets to function 100%.
Thank you and regards, Ron
PS. I will not yet put a rating or (works/broken) since this is a first time going public. hopefully I will be able to give it 5 stars in the future

Manduca andicola
Manduca andicola is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from Central America to Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina.[2]
It is similar to Manduca lefeburii, Manduca incisa and Manduca jasminearum in having a relatively uniform forewing upperside with a conspicuous, rather diffuse dark band running from about midway along the costa to the outer margin and incorporating the discal spot.
Adults fly as three generations in the subequatorial zone, with adults on wing from December to January, May to June and in October.
The larvae feed on plants in the Annonaceae family.

Warm Fuzzies
Nine-year-old Cassie asked this question: "What is one thing that helps you get to sleep each night?"
These girls shared their thoughts:
Every night, I love to cuddle up with my platypus. I got him from my best friend who moved away, and when I snuggle with him, he reminds me of the fun times my friend and I had together.
–Ashley, age 11, Canada
For me, it's a doll that I made myself. I bring her to sleepovers, and everyone thinks she's adorable. I think she's "sew" cute!
–Charlotte, age 13, Pennsylvania
This past summer, I had to have surgery for a condition called scoliosis, which means my spine was curved. While I was in the hospital, I got a stuffed black bear as a present. Her name is Bailey, and when I hold her, I feel relaxed and at ease.
–Peyton, age 10, Florida
I sleep with a stuffed horse every night. He is special to me because he is the first thing I ever saved up for and bought with my own money.
–Sarah, age 12, Michigan
My doll, Dollywolly (yes, that's really what I call her), helps me go to sleep each night. My aunt gave her to me when I was a baby. There isn't much left of her, but I still love her.
–Alex, age 13, Colorado
The thing that helps me sleep at night is a squishy lavender pillow. It's fuzzy and warm on one side and smooth and cool on the other. When I give my pillow a good squeeze, I always feel calm.
–An American Girl fan, age 11, Virginia
I love cats, but my parents won't let me have a pet. Instead, I sleep with a stuffed animal cat every night. She's so cute!
–Irena, age 8, Oregon
Once when my dad was being goofy, he named my stuffed penguin Humperdink. I sleep with my penguin every night, and his name always makes me giggle.
–Gracie, age 13, South Carolina
I'm Romanian, so something that helps me sleep each night is the teddy bear I brought from Romania. When I moved to the United States, I took the teddy bear with me so that I'd remember where I came from.
–Maria, age 12, Pennsylvania
My baby doll helps me drift off to dreamland. I've had her since I was a baby, and she is always tucked into bed with me. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, it makes me feel good to know she's there. I love her!
–Cassia, age 9, Oregon
I always sleep with a pink teddy bear that my great-grandmother gave to me when I was little. She passed away a few months ago, so I keep it as a special memory of her.
–Taylor, age 10, Minnesota
When we were little, my sister gave me the nickname "Fudgie." I sleep with a stuffed dog every night, and I named him Fudgie to remind me of my sister.
–Sarah, age 13, Minnesota
One thing that helps me sleep at night is a handmade quilt that my grandmother made for me. The unique thing about it is that she traced both of our hands, and then she cut them out of fabric and sewed them onto the quilt. On the other side of the quilt, she wrote me a kind message. I can't fall asleep without my quilt, and I will cherish it forever.
–An American Girl fan, age 12, New York
My sock monkey always helps me sleep. He's special to me because my grandma sent him to me from England.

–Susana, age 10, Massachusetts
One thing that helps me sleep each night is my yellow bunny. I named her Buttercups. She is special to me because my mom and dad bought her for me when I was two years old. My whole family knows how important she is to me.
–An American Girl fan, age 11, Florida
A teddy bear that I call G.G. helps me go to sleep every night. She was my grandma's teddy bear when she was a little girl. I named her G.G. because it stands for "Grandma and Grandpa's" teddy bear.
–Lilian, age 9, Colorado
When I was little, I had cancer. In the hospital, I had to be on a machine that helped me breathe. One day, a doctor gave me a fuzzy pink bear. When I kissed the bear, I felt a little better. My bear means so much to me, and every night, she helps me fall asleep.
–Candace, age 10, New York

Globalstar Upgrades Simplex Network
Globalstar is upgrading its network to enhance the messaging capacity and the data receiver sensitivity of the Globalstar Simplex data network, the company announced.
The upgrades, supplied by Comtech Aero Astro, are expected to increase receiver sensitivity and expand Simplex's geographic coverage area. The Simplex data network is used to support a variety of emergency asset, fleet management and personal tracking applications as well as Globalstar's Spot Satellite GPS Messenger products.
"We anticipate these upgrades will expand our current Simplex data subscriber messaging capacity by as much as 10 times and increase our receiver sensitivity of the network by perhaps up to 40 percent," Globalstar CEO Peter Dalton said in a statement.
Globalstar began installing the upgrades at its gateway ground station facility in Wasilla, Alaska, earlier this month. The company plans to complete the installation of the enhanced software at all of its gateways equipped with Simplex by late October.

He scored his first goal in August last year, and has now hit 15 in total this season, including one against West Brom yesterday, and the dramatic equaliser against Liverpool in the FA Cup in January. He's now hit five in the past 15 days. Scouts are queuing up. View from the terrace: "Sig! Sig! The Sig's on fire!" has been our most recent chant in this season of two halves , celebrating the man who is one of the main reasons for our surge up the table. Gylfi was a recent academy graduate but is now a fixture in the team and secured legend status with his last-minute penalty at Anfield. His scoring record from midfield is an excellent achievement, and a host of late penalties illustrates his coolness under pressure.

Talk:Queensland Labor Party
|WikiProject Politics / Political parties
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
|WikiProject Australia / Queensland
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
Does the information on this page really justify an article seperate from the Australian Labor Party or Democratic Labor Party (historical)? Timeshift 01:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think so. It was an independent party for a while, and predated the creation of the DLP. I'd see the relationship as being like the Australia Party to the Australian Democrats, both of which we have seperate articles on. I also think, as a general principle, merging seperate (but related) parties into one article is a bad idea. It tends to lead to the sort of confusion we have with early state parties, where we've say, got all of the post-1917 split members marked as members of the Nationalist Party of Australia, when they were actually members of unaffiliated (and different in a number of ways) state parties with similar names. Rebecca 02:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Queensland ALP[edit]
Should it be included in the article that despite the existence of the QLP the Queensland ALP is still mistakenly referred to as the Queensland Labor Party.
I have heard some commentators even managing to avoid referring to the Queensland ALP as Queensland Labor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Shadow Treasurer (talk • contribs) 05:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
absorbed into the DLP[edit]
The article says the QLP was absorbed into the DLP in 1962, but then goes on to discuss the QLP's electoral success in 1963 and 1966. Can anyone clarify if/when/how the QLP was absorbed into the DLP? Kerry (talk) 09:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Preference Distribution[edit]
I haven't time to correct the main article just yet but it is incorrect to say that the QLP directed preferences to the Coalition in 1957 and 1960. Queensland used the first past the post voting system in 1957, and the split Labor vote between the ALP and the QLP enabled the Country Party and the Liberal Party to win normally Labor seats. In 1960 the Country-Labor government retained first past the post voting, as the QLP was a different party then from the DLP and they feared a rapprochement between the two competing Labor parties. At the election of 1963 preferential voting was introduced by the Coalition, as they then realised the differences between the two Labor parties were irreconcilable, and the fact that the QLP was then the DLP meant it would do what was done in all other states and direct preferences away from the ALP towards the Coalition.18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:31, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
