Middle English (earlier as pike, which continues in dialect use): of unknown origin. Compare with Dutch pikken 'pick, peck', and German picken 'peck, puncture', also with French piquer 'to prick'.
pike from Old English:
The earliest recorded meaning of pike is for a pickaxe, pick simply being a variant form of pike. The freshwater fish the pike gets its name from the resemblance of its long pointed jaw to the old infantry weapon called a pike, which has a pointed steel or iron head on a long shaft. While basically the same word as Old English pike, this came into English during the 16th century from French piquer 'to pierce'. In dialect piked 'pointed' became picked and then peaked, and this is probably the origin of the word peak (Late Middle English) for the pointed top of something such as a mountain. The Australian and New Zealand expressions to pike out, 'to withdraw or go back on a plan or agreement', and to pike on, 'to let someone down', go back to a 15th- and 16th-century use to pike yourself 'to provide yourself with a pilgrim's pike or staff', and so 'to depart, leave'.

The Golden Cat
this wiki
- "The Golden Cat ... A bathhouse for aristocrats. Little better than a cursed brothel."
- — Teague Martin
The Golden Cat is a pleasure establishment in Dunwall, part brothel, part steam-house, and part burlesque parlor. It is the primary location of the mission, House of Pleasure.
Many of the richer denizens of the city, including Thaddeus Campbell and the Pendleton twins, make regular visits to the pleasure house. It is managed by Madame Prudence, and staffed by courtesans.
While the Golden Cat was temporarily closed due to a plague infestation and the building has yet to be fully cleaned,[1] it reopens by the time Corvo escapes imprisonment in Coldridge.[2] He later travels to the brothel to assassinate the Pendleton brothers and retrieve Emily Kaldwin, who is being held there in secret by Hiram Burrows and his associates.
A steam-room can be found on the underground level, adjacent to a fish pond. The courtesans perform their duties on the upper floors of the establishment, in the private suites. Smaller, less opulent rooms in a different wing of the building serve as the courtesans' dormitory.
- Red lamps next to the doors of the private suites indicate if a room is currently occupied.

A picture equals 1000 words.
Registered on 19.10.2007 - Closed on 13.02.2010
|Project details
Students of today living in e-worlds, receive stimuli lots more from the cyberspace, the sat (and local) tv, the radio and much less from the press and the written material. As a consequence, they tend to become more "optic". The written expression is maybe superior and eternal, but soul and feeling is just a prerequisite to manage it. Students of today are more passive to messages and less active. In parallel, they are more attracted by the dynamics of the picture that is the easiest to understand and express oneself form of communication. So, let's focus our "A picture equals 1000 words" project on it! The nature, (sea, mountains, flowers, sun sets and sun rises) as well as the psychographies that can be drawn from the depiction of social places such as cafes of the old times and cultural events, or even photos of older people carrying the experience of an entire life, will be favourite themes.

Not since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 has any player led the league in home runs, RBI's and batting average.
Back to Cobb. His .377 average and 107 RBI in 1909 were impressive numbers, but that season Cobb led the league with only 9 home runs. Cabrera hit his ninth homer this season on May 27th. The game has certainly changed.
As September kicks into high gear and the pennant races heat up, Cabrera is quietly positioning himself in the top three in the Triple Crown categories.
Cabrera would never talk about his chances of accomplishing the feat because he is much too concerned with team goals. The fact remains though, that his shot is becoming more and more legitimate.
What was once a seemingly insurmountable lead for Mike Trout in the average category has disappeared. Cabrera has caught Trout, each batting .330 as of Thursday. Cabrera's 116 RBI's are tops in the league and two more than Josh Hamilton.
The Home Run category will be the challenge. Adam Dunn and Hamilton have each hit 38 homers, but a surging Miggy is now just three shy of the pace.
You can make an argument for the Triple Crown being the most difficult accomplishment in baseball. Anything that has not been achieved since 1967 qualifies as quite an exploit. Ask any big league hitter and they may say hitting .400 is more difficult. Ted Williams is the last to do it back in 1941. Either way, leading your league in the three major offensive categories takes a special talent.
Cabrera is as special as they come. His ability and willingness to hit the ball up the middle and the other way makes him a threat to win a batting title, as he did last season. A late season power surge seems to be in the making as well, with Cabrera hitting three home runs in his last six games.
September has a way of separating the boys from the men and Cabrera is a good bet to outdistance the rookie Trout for the batting title. Can he hold of Hamilton and Dunn in the power categories? I would not bet against him.

Plus if I want to watch a movie or TV show on Netflix I have a Asus Transformer and a Nook with Netflix. It seems that Netflix supports everything but Linux. I truly believe that MS has something to do with Netflix not supporting Linux. If Linux keeps growing Netflix might come around that is why I voted "Yes".

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Authorities worked Thursday to identity a body found in the backyard of a Nevada home where a missing woman had lived with her husband before he committed suicide after police questioned him about her disappearance.
Washoe County deputies found the remains Wednesday at the home in Spanish Springs, north of Reno, while executing a search warrant involving the disappearance of Colleen Muhl, 56, sheriff's Lt. Tom Green said.
Before his death, her husband, Gerald Muhl, 51, told police she had died in California during a visit in mid-February. Authorities said he was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound soon after investigators told him his story wasn't adding up.
Detectives secured the search warrant after receiving a tip that Gerald Muhl had been seen moving rocks in the backyard.
It was initially unclear if the remains were those of a man or woman and how long they had been in the yard, Green said. He told the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://tinyurl.com/l2eon44) there appeared to have been a "sophisticated effort" to conceal the remains that were wrapped in plastic.
Colleen Muhl was last seen in Nevada on Feb. 17. In the days that followed, Gerald Muhl consented to multiple interviews with investigators and told them that California authorities had notified him that she died there on Feb. 22, Green said.
"It hadn't gotten to the point we were calling him a liar," Green said last week. "But his story changed back and forth. Things weren't adding up."

If the meta section is removed, how do you log on to your blog? I've visited WP blogs that don't display this section - how do they log in? That's where the "login" link is. Is there a way to hide this section from site visitors while making it visible for users?
They might either remember or bookmark wp-login.php which will bring up their login details.
I tried to do this but there is no option to save my edits. Below the edit box is the following test "If this file were writable you could edit it."
I am using 2.0.2.
You need to change the permissions to make those files editable:
If the meta section is removed, how do you log on to your blog?
Just remove the parts other than the php section that refers to "login/logout" and the login/logout and site admin links will remain. That's what I did on my site.
Thanks asfodel but I read through and tried to change the file permission but nothing seemed to match for me to what was described. I could not get to "Right-click 'index.php' and select 'File Permissions.'"
I can't understand why this is not a funtion from a WordPress menu.
If your host gives you access to cpanel, you can change the file permissions there. Go to wp-content > themes > the theme you're using, then click on the file you want to be able to edit and click "Change Permission", then change it to 666. Do this for each file you want to be able to edit.
If you don't have cpanel, then open your ftp client, find the file you need to change the permissions on, (same path as above) and right-click on it and click "File attributes"
Thank you asfodel. That did it. I had someone trying to hack into my blog through comments now I shut them off. Thanks again.
I have had a very good experience with the Bad Behavior plugin for preventing comment spammers/hackers. You might try that out.

GOP Rep. McMorris Rodgers: Senate Must Engage
With a government shutdown looming, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash) laid blame on the Senate Sunday, saying that the House had acted and now is waiting on senators to engage.
"Republicans do not want to shut down the government," she said Sunday morning on CNN. "We are pushing the Senate to have the debate."

Early Sunday, the House approved legislation that would fund the government through Dec. 15. Attached to the funding plan was a one-year delay of the health law known as Obamacare and a repeal of a tax on medical devices.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has said he would reject any changes to the Affordable Care Act attached to a government funding bill, and he denounced the House proposal as pointless before the vote was taken. The White House has said President Barack Obama would veto the House legislation.
With the two chambers at an impasse, Mr. Reid has said he does not plan to call the Senate into session until Monday afternoon, just hours before government funding for many federal functions runs out.
Ms. McMorris Rodgers said the Senate should meet Sunday, adding that "they're the ones playing games."
If the fiscal year expires at midnight Monday without an agreement, federal agencies would suspend many functions, and hundreds of thousands of workers would be furloughed. With the deadline approaching, negotiations did not appear to be imminent.
Ms. McMorris Rodgers said the onus now is on the Senate.
"October 1 is right around the corner. Why isn't the Senate here?" she said.

RING's No. 1-rated lightweight Brandon Rios is scheduled to join stars such as Eva Longoria during a cancer-support related visit to Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday, the fighter told RingTV.com.
As part of the Padres Contra El Cancer (Parents Against Cancer), Rios has been named an ambassador, along with others like Longoria and comedian George Lopez.
"Tomorrow I'm going to meet with all of the kids with cancer. I want to talk to them and, hopefully, give them hope again," said Rios.
"I feel so great about that. I've been doing that for a while. A lot of people didn't know about that. But now, it's out there. It's going to be great. It's something that I'm very proud of doing."
Although Rios has been affiliated with Contra El Cancer for the past year, he was not officially named an ambassador until about a month ago.
"Contra El Cancer asked me if I wanted to roll with them because they saw that I've been doing things like this for a while. I have been funding some [programs] and helping kids out. The kids are always so glad to see you," said Rios.
"They're always like, 'man, Brandon, thank you very much,' or, 'you're one of a kind. I look up to you,' or, 'I like the way that you are.' That makes me feel like I'm doing something good for somebody else. Something very important that's outside of myself. I love to do this for the community and for the kids."
Rios, 25, is scheduled to face THE RING's No. 1-rated unbeaten featherweight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA's 135-pound belt on April 14 in an HBO-televised clash from the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.
Gamboa (21-0, 16 knockouts) will rise in weight in order to face Rios (29-0-1, 22 KOs), who is coming off December's 11th-round technical knockout of England's John Murray at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Rios will pursue his 12th straight win, his 11th knockout during that run and his fifth straight stoppage against Gamboa.

Terry is facing charges of DUI, driving without proof of insurance or a driver's license, and a bench warrant for old fines, police said.
Anyone with information about Terry's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS.

Republican National Committee - No Accountability: Will Obama Cut Ties With Jim Johnson, Who Received Millions From Accounting Manipulations and Sweetheart Mortgage Deals?
Jun 11, 2008, 01:00 ET from Republican National Committee
WASHINGTON, June 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Republican National Committee: (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080519/RNCLOGO ) Jim Johnson, A Former CEO Of Fannie Mae And Top Campaign Adviser, Earned Large Bonuses Due To An Accounting Manipulation: In 1998, Fannie Mae's Earnings Were Manipulated, Which Resulted In "Maximum Payouts" To Executives Including CEO Jim Johnson. "As CEO of Fannie Mae, Johnson, a former chief of staff to Vice President Walter F. Mondale and chairman of the board of the Kennedy Center, was the beneficiary of accounting in which Fannie Mae's earnings were manipulated so that executives could earn larger bonuses. The accounting manipulation for 1998 resulted in the maximum payouts to Fannie Mae's senior executives -- $1.9 million in Johnson's case -- when the company's performance that year would have otherwise resulted in no bonuses at all, according to reports in 2004 and 2006 by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight." (Jonathan Weisman and David S. Hilzenrath, "Obama's Choice Of Insider Draws Fire," The Washington Post, 6/11/08) The Manipulation Resulted In Johnson Receiving A Bonus Of Over $1.9 Million When He Otherwise Would Not Have Earned A Bonus. "An Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight report in September accused the company of improperly deferring $200 million of estimated expenses in 1998, which allowed management to receive full annual bonuses. Had the expenses been recorded that year, no bonuses would have been paid, the report said. Fannie Mae reported paying bonuses in 1998 to Johnson, who received $1.932 million; Raines, who then was chairman-designate, $1.11 million; Chief Operating Officer Lawrence M. Small, $1.108 million; Vice Chairman Jamie S. Gorelick, a former deputy attorney general, $779,625; Chief Financial Officer J. Timothy Howard, $493,750; and Robert J. Levin, who was executive vice president for housing and community development, $493,750." (Albert B. Crenshaw, "High Pay At Fannie Mae For The Well-Connected," The Washington Post, 12/23/04) Johnson Also Received Fees And Compensation From Fannie Mae Worth $3.3 Million Between 2001 And 2006. "Johnson left the company before it was swept up in an accounting scandal that tarred its reputation, but even during the years of scandal, Johnson was reaping hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting fees and other compensation, $3.3 million in all between 2001 and 2006." (Jonathan Weisman and David S. Hilzenrath, "Obama's Choice Of Insider Draws Fire," The Washington Post, 6/11/08) And Johnson Also Received Special Loans From Countrywide Financial: Jim Johnson, A Former CEO Of Fannie Mae Chosen To Lead Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee, Received Special Loans From Countrywide Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo. "Countrywide Financial Corp. makes mortgage loans through a vast network of offices, brokers and call centers. But a few customers have gotten their loans a special way: through Countrywide Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo. These borrowers, known internally as 'friends of Angelo' or FoA, include two former CEOs of Fannie Mae, the biggest buyer of Countrywide's mortgages, say people familiar with the matter. One was James Johnson, a longtime Democratic Party power and an adviser to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, who this past week was named to a panel that is vetting running-mate possibilities for the presumed nominee." (Glenn R. Simpson and James R. Hagerty, "Countrywide Friends Got Good Loans," The Wall Street Journal, 6/7/08) While CEO Of Fannie Mae, Johnson And Mozilo Worked Closely And Maintained A "Close Friendship." "From 1991 to 1998, Mr. Johnson served as CEO of the Federal National Mortgage Association, also known as Fannie Mae, which worked closely with Countrywide, one of the nation's leading lenders and loan servicing companies. In 1996, Mr. Johnson named Mr. Mozilo as chairman of Fannie Mae's national advisory council. A 1999 article in the American Banker said the two men had a 'close friendship.'" (Josh Gerstein, "Top Talent Scout For Obama Tied To Subprime Lender," The New York Sun, 6/9/08) "Property Records Show Mr. Johnson Has Received More Than $7 Million In Loans From Countrywide Since 1998, The First Coming In The Waning Days Of His Fannie Mae Tenure." (Glenn R. Simpson and James R. Hagerty, "Countrywide Friends Got Good Loans," The Wall Street Journal, 6/7/08) At Least Two Of The Mortgages Were At Rates "Below Market Averages." "The Journal said at least two of the mortgages, among a series of loans made available to people Countrywide officials called 'friends of Angelo,' were at rates below market averages, though it is difficult to predict a market rate without access to nonpublic information about a borrower's credit history and other factors that can reduce interest charges on a loan." (Josh Gerstein, "Top Talent Scout For Obama Tied To Subprime Lender," The New York Sun, 6/9/08) Johnson Did Not Inform Fannie Mae's Board Of His "Sweetheart Mortgage Deals." "Fannie Mae tells us that Mr. Johnson did not inform the company's board of these sweetheart mortgage deals, nor did his CEO successor Franklin Raines, who also received such loans." (Editorial, "Friends Of Barack," The Wall Street Journal, 6/11/08) As Recently As 2003, Johnson Has Praised Mozilo's Leadership Of Fannie Mae, Calling It "Remarkably Impressive." "Since leaving Fannie Mae, Mr. Johnson has lavished praise on Mr. Mozilo's performance, calling it 'remarkably impressive ' in a 2003 interview with BusinessWeek. 'By strengthening servicing in good times, Countrywide has done a brilliant job of insulating itself for the down cycle,' Mr. Johnson told Fortune in 2003." (Josh Gerstein, "Top Talent Scout For Obama Tied To Subprime Lender," The New York Sun, 6/9/08) NOTE: "In Recent Months, The Job Has Been Looking Less Than Brilliant, As Countrywide Reported Billions In Losses, Much Of It From So-Called Subprime Loans Made To Borrowers Unqualified For Typical Loans." (Josh Gerstein, "Top Talent Scout For Obama Tied To Subprime Lender," The New York Sun, 6/9/08) NOTE: Johnson Is Also A Bundler For Obama's Presidential Campaign And Has Committed To Raising $100,000 To $200,000. (Obama For America Website, www.barackobama.com, Accessed 5/19/08) FLASHBACK: Obama's Campaign Attacked Sen. Clinton's Campaign For Its Countrywide Ties: Obama Senior Campaign Strategist David Axelrod Criticized Sen. Clinton For Employing Mark Penn, Whose Firm Once Represented Countrywide. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann: "Senator Clinton not stopping to hear a reporter's question about Mark Penn, let alone answer it, leading Penn's counterpart in the Obama campaign to fill in the vacuum about Penn's non-departure departure this morning on MSNBC." David Axelrod: "She's stuck him with him through the revelation that his firm was working fro Blackwater and working for Countrywide, and, you know, so, it's kind of stunning. Remember that the embassy said they weren't sure whether he was there as a representative of his firm or a representative of Senator Clinton. I mean, I think there are issues associated with this. I'm not - you can use the word hypocrisy, but there are certainly questions that arise from this." (MSNBC's "Countdown," 4/7/08) Watch David Axelrod Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIJQUgH11M0 Axelrod: "Penn's Business Dealings Have Always Been An Issue." "Last week, she turned her fire on a huge proposed pay-out to the founder of Countrywide Financial, the mortgage company at the centre of the storm. Yet two months ago, Countrywide turned for temporary help with its tattered image to the public relations firm Burson-Marsteller, whose president is Mr Penn. ... Mrs Clinton's criticism of lenders also raised fresh questions over the role of Mr Penn. Mr Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, said: 'Penn's business dealings have always been an issue. The Clinton campaign is clearly not too worried who its chief strat-egist does business with.' Burson-Marsteller said it was no longer working with Countrywide and that Mr Penn did not have a hands-on role with many of its 2,000 clients." (Philip Sherwell, "Clintons' Pain And Gain In Housing Crisis," The Sunday Telegraph, 1/20/08) The Obama Campaign Criticized Sen. Clinton For Accepting Contributions From Representatives Of Countrywide. "Obama aides also said Clinton is in no position to stiffen oversight after taking contributions from mortgage industry lobbyists, including funds from representatives of Countrywide, which has been at the center of the mortgage meltdown. 'If we're really going to crack down on the practices that caused the credit and housing crises, we're going to need a leader who doesn't owe these industries any favors,' campaign manager David Plouffe said."

One of the most popular activities that people do when they travel is to go shopping. Many people go on vacation strictly to shop while others pick up a souvenir or two when they're on the road. But one thing is for certain, nearly everyone brings a little memento back from their trip across the border. Nowhere is this more true than in Canada.
As the weather cools many Canadians hop in their cars and head for the South. In less than 24 hours you can be in a warmer climate enjoying fun in the sun. With cross border shopping rules though, it's always been a bit frustrating as to what we are allowed to bring back into the country. Truthfully, we've never been quite sure about what was allowed and what wasn't so we always kept our purchases to a minimum. Better safe than sorry right?
With the holiday season approaching we thought we would hi-light what those rules are and demystify them a bit.
Duty Free Explained
It was good news when we came home this past summer and heard that the Duty Free allowances for Canadians had been raised. Now, when you leave the country for 24 hours or more, you can bring home $200 worth of goods. If you are gone for four days (48 hours) you can bring home $800 worth of goods. Previously we were only allowed to bring home $200 and $400 for the same amount of time. I like seeing it doubled. But hey Canada, don't think that you can hop across the border for a day trip and get these benefits, you need to be out of the country for at least 24 hours.
If you shop at a duty free store, you can stretch that money even more. Think about what you save if you shop without tax and duty! You can actually save up to 40% of your travel needs by shopping Duty Free. Pretty awesome. We're all for finding a bargain and stretching our dollar. The more we can buy for the same amount of money, the better we feel. We can get a lot more out of our $800 bucks when we're saving an extra 40%.
Shop Before you Enter the US
Just this past weekend I went to Cleveland with a friend to see the great Canadian Band, The Tragically Hip play at the House of Blues. I didn't know this before, but you can stop at Duty Free before entering the States to do your shopping. My friend was out of her favourite perfume, so we took a stroll through the Calvin Klein aisle. I always thought that you had to buy duty free on your way back, not on your way there.
We could have even bought a bottle of local wine to take with us into the US for our trip. I wish I knew this before we crossed the border, I would have done a lot more shopping! There were some great deals in there.

The duty free stores have come a long way too. We grabbed a bite to eat and a coffee at Tim Hortons before crossing the border. We had Canada with us all the way, a Timmies double double and the Tragically Hip onstage. Who could ask for more?
Advantages of Canadian Duty Free
Why would I shop at the Canadian Duty Free instead of the US outlets? I can buy my favourite Canadian products that I can't find in the US. At the same time I'm supporting local businesses while saving on tax and duty. I'm all for supporting our local retailers, buying Canadian and most of all saving money.

When the holiday season is in full swing, that's a huge advantage to making the most of your vacation.
Did you Know?
I didn't know that Duty Free stores are operated by independent business people. I always thought they were government owned, but they're not. That makes me want to shop there even more, plus land border duty free stores can

Videocard Benchmarks
Over 600,000 Video Cards Benchmarked
How does your Video Card compare?
Add your card to our benchmark charts with PerformanceTest V8!
Direct Compute Benchmark Chart
This chart made up of thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and is updated daily with new graphics card benchmarks. Microsoft DirectCompute is a set of DirectX 11 APIs that allow general purpose computing (typically performed by the CPU) to be performed on the GPU. This takes advantage of the enormous parallel computation capacity of GPUs that would be well suited for parallel, computationally-intensive operations. DirectCompute is fully supported on DirectX 11 GPUs and partially supported on DirectX 10 GPUs.
Note: OpenCL and Direct compute are different programming interfaces for compiling and running code on video cards. Once the code is running on the card, the performance should be roughly comparable with either interface. So you should be able to use the Direct compute chart above as a reasonable indication of OpenCL performance.
