Hi my name is Dylan, and I'm still very much a puppy with a great disposition. Right now I'm about 8-months old and just over 50 lbs. but still growing. I'm very affectionate and love other dogs. I am a bit shy though, and I'm hoping to find someone who can understand me and help me overcome it. My ideal fur-ever home will be with a confident dog that can show me the ropes and help me overcome my shyness. I can assure you I'm well worth the effort. I promise I will pay you back a million times over with my happy and goofy personality. I'm a real country boy and don't think I'm into city life. Larchmont Pet Rescue has taken good care of me as I'm neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested and micro-chipped. Please donate $300 so I can be part of your home. You won't be sorry.

I just quick tested this plugin. Tried adding Private and/or groups_read_post access restrictions. This got desired effect for Pages and Posts, but not for Media (jpgs and pdfs). Meaning my Media marked with either 'groups_read_post' or 'private' shows to everyone.
I have settings set to allow restriction attributes for all types (post,page, media, etc)
I must be doing something wrong at the basic level?

During the year under review, the country underwent a change in government amidst high expectations of key policy reforms and optimism. Against this backdrop, the growth rate of Indian economy was 7.4% [as per the new methodology of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)]. However, the deceleration in the preceding three years had severely impacted the industry and infrastructure capital expenditure.
Asset quality of public sector banks remain a concern with Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of the banks in the country at Rs. 4.7 trillion at end of March 2015. The key factors are stalled projects, sluggish economic growth in recent past, frozen credit and highly leveraged balance sheets of corporate sector. This increase in NPAs has led to significant reduction in sectoral lending to power and infrastructure sector throughout the year.
Power Generation continues to struggle with stranded capacities and delays due to cancellation and subsequent auction of coal mines. The State Electricity Boards, Discoms are struggling with financial losses and are neither able to purchase power nor able to pay Gencos and equipment suppliers. This is impacting fresh investments in the state T&D sector.
The value of stalled projects at the end of December 2014 was Rs.8.8 trillion or 7% of GDP The private sector accounted for Rs. 1.8 trillion while public sector accounted for Rs. 7.7 trillion. Out of these infrastructure and manufacturing projects dominated the total value of stalled projects. The sector with a large number of stalled projects for both public and private sector was electricity. At the end of third quarter of 2014-15, 80 projects were stalled in this sector, of which 75 were in generation sector, thus, impacting the ordering for T&D equipment segment. Stalled projects severely affected the balance sheet of the corporate sector and public sector banks, which in turn limited private sector investments.
Amidst the challenging business environment, the Company sustained its performance with improved profitability, revenues and order backlog during the year under report, and retained its market leadership position for the seventh year in a row.
The Company''s constant focus on investments in technology, localised customer centric solutions, strategy of selective bidding for orders and timely execution of projects were key to moving ahead in a market with moderate growth opportunities.
Overall, your Company successfully achieved a balanced portfolio of orders, resulting in sustained leadership and improved performance.
During the year, Alstom Group was awarded Rs. 32,500 million HVDC super grid solutions order to build the Phase II of the 1,365 km long "energy highway" between Champa in central India and Kurukshetra in northern India. Your Company''s share in the said contract was Rs. 14,300 million. This project, once completed, will enable, bulk power transfer efficiently from the Chhattisgarh region - a hub of Independent Power Producers - to the load center in the northern region of the country. This new ±800 kV, 3000 MW UHVDC link will run in parallel with the first UHVDC transmission link (awarded to Alstom in 2012), increasing the total bulk power transmission capacity of the advanced UHVDC system to 6000 MW.
This contract confirms our customer''s confidence in Alstom''s expertise in HVDC solutions and adds to the list of HVDC milestones achieved by the Company. In the past, Alstom has supplied HVDC systems for Vizag (Andhra Pradesh), Chandrapur (Maharashtra) and Sasaram (Bihar) thereby developing the Supergrid highways for the Indian national grid.
INDIA''S FIRST ''MAKE IN INDIA'' 800 kV HVDC TRANSFORMER

Skill Level Intermediate
There's a new way to select colors in Photoshop CS5 and that's using the new HUD Color Picker. HUD stands for Heads-up Display, which means an element that only appears when you invoke it. If you are a painter I think you are really going to like the HUD Color Picker because it's going to allow you to quickly choose color and to do so from within the context of the image. This color picker allows you to focus on the work without having to move to a separate panel or separate color picker when you want to change colors. But if you prefer, you can still use the traditional color picker which, as before, you access by clicking the Foreground color box in the toolbar.
To use the HUD Color Picker, you are first going to want to look at your Preferences which are under the Photoshop menu on a Mac or the Edit menu on Windows and in the General Preferences, you can choose the kind of HUD Color Picker you want to use. The default is the HUE Strip, there is also a Hue Wheel, and these other choices are basically different sizes of those two alternatives. Let's start with the Hue Strip. I will click OK. Here in the image to invoke the HUD Color Picker, I will first go to a Brush tool, any of the Brush type tools will do and then I will move into the image and I am going to hold down a keyboard shortcut.
On the Mac that's the Command key, the Option key and the Control key altogether. On the PC that's Shift+Alt+right-click all together. And with that shortcut held down, I will click in the image and hold. That brings up the Hue Strip color picker. This version of Photoshop like its predecessors recognizes three properties of color. The Hue, which is the color, the Saturation, which is the purity or intensity of that color, and the Brightness, which is the lightness or darkness of that color. The bar on the right is a Hue slider that you can use to access difference hues.
The square on the left displays different saturations of color from left to right and different brightnesses of color from top to bottom. When I talk about saturation and brightness, I will just call it all by one term, which is shade, because it is all here in this one part of this interface. So let's say that I want to choose a particular shade of blue. I still have my mouse held down and that keyboard shortcut held down and I am just going to move around in this large square until I get the shade that I want. Let's say I want kind of a dark desaturated shade like this.
And I still have the mouse and keyboard shortcuts held down because the next thing and I want to do is move over into the Hue Strip there. And in order to do that, I will release the keyboard shortcuts, but I will keep mouse held down and I will press the Spacebar. And then I can move over to the Hue Strip and release the Spacebar and I still have my mouse down. So, now I am clicking and dragging on this Hue Strip to get an aqua hue that's the same shade as the blue I had a moment ago. And when I am happy with it, I will release my mouse and that's the color that I have in the Foreground color box.
Now let's see how the Hue Wheel works. I am going to go back to Preferences and I am going to choose the Hue Wheel and click OK. Then I will move into the image, I will hold down the same keyboard shortcut Command+Option+Control on the Mac, Shift +Alt+right-click on Windows and I will click-and-hold in the image either with my mouse or with the stylus pen if I am using a pen in tablet. First take a look at the rings in this display. The inner ring, the one with the bright colors represent the various Hues, just like the Strip did on the right side of the Hue Strip display.
Around that is an inner and outer ring that represents the currently selected shade. I can release the keyboard shortcut and if I want a different shade of the same aqua hue, I can just move around in the square in the middle and as I do that noticed that the inner and outer parts of the ring are changing. So let's say I go for a light desaturated shade. Now I still have my mouse or my pen held down because the next thing I want to do is to move over to the inner ring in the circle so that I can change hues. And as before I am going to press the Spacebar to do that and then I can move my cursor to that inner ring, release the Spacebar and now I can move that ring around to get the hue that I want.
Say that I want magenta. So I am changing the hue, but I am keeping the same shading, a light de-saturated magenta. So I will release and you can see that color here in the Foreground color box. Now if you've used Photoshop for a while you may recognize the shortcut, Control+Option+Command or Shift+Alt+ right-click as a shortcut that was used for another purpose in Photoshop in previous versions. It was used to select a layer by clicking on its content in the document window. Be aware that that shortcut only works now with non-brush tools, like the Marquee tools, the Lasso tools and the Crop tool.
So that's a look at the new HUD Color Picker in Photoshop CS5. I think you speed painters are really going to like.

The Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA, also known as Comecon), set up in 1949 by the Soviet Union and the European countries which had adopted a Soviet-type socialist system after the War, was partly the formal expression of economic solidarity within the newly formed bloc, partly a response to the challenge of the Organisation for European Economic cooperation, set up in 1948 by 16 West European nations.

I love ByteController!
It's small and lightweight. The best part is the keyboard shortcut manager. I like Ctrl+Cmd+Spacebar for pause/play, Ctrl+Cmd+Left and +Right to go back and forth on the playlist, Ctrl+Cmd+Up and +Down to control volume. I barely need to touch iTunes or ByteController anymore. :)
The Growl notifications are nice too.

Health Benefits of Mistletoe?
After some investigating, I found that there is no measurable evidence to support claims of a healing effect or improved quality of life from the use of mistletoe extract. So, forget the mistletoe, perhaps, kissing is the key to better health.

Frequent kissing has scientifically been shown to stabilize cardiovascular activity, as well as decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.

The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.
- Removing pictures from a card
- Transferring photos to a Windows or Mac computer
- Transferring images with Lightoom, Aperture or iPhoto
- Assigning ratings to photos and flagging favorites
- Filtering photos
- Choosing file formats
- Backing up to the cloud
- Working with multiple hard drives
- Recovering from backups
Skill Level Beginner
If you want to enhance your viewing experience of your photos, especially using these basic methods that we've talked about, file browsers are terrific for this, without having to go to a whole full blown digital asset management system. I'm going to show you Adobe Bridge right now. It's one of my favorites; it works on Mac and Windows. There are a variety of them out there; Photo Mechanic is another. But let me show you the basic features first. So I want to take a look at some of the shots in my virtual filing cabinet.
I'm going to go to the 2011 drawer here, double-click on it, open it up, and let's take a look at the shots that we uploaded of the model Shoot. So I'm going to double-click on that, and right away you see the familiar thumbnails. You get a little additional information here. You can control the size of the thumbnails with the slider down here, and make them bigger or smaller. But you have other features, such as, you have different modes, such as the Filmstrip mode right here. So I can click on Filmstrip, and then just click on the different thumbnails, and see an enlarged version of them.
That's kind of nice. And then if I hit the spacebar in Bridge, I get a full screen version, and I can use the Arrow keys to go from one to another, and hit the spacebar again and come back to thumbnail mode. So right away you can see that this is a little bit more deluxe when you're looking at your images. For example, if you want to rate your images, so that you know right away which are your favorites, you just click on the image, and you'll see that you have the little dots here.
Click on the dot that you like, and you can give an image a star rating. So, for me, the higher the number of stars, the more I like the shot. So you can go through like that, and then you see that the file browser will keep track of which you've done. Just like that. And so now, if you want to see all of your three star images, you just click right there, and it does the filtering for you. Click on it again, and you're back to where you were.
Now, speaking of filtering, you have other ways to filter. For example, you can filter by some of the XF data that your camera writes to the file, such as shutter speed. So you want to see everything shot at 1/45th of a second. There you go; it's all right there. Same thing with aperture value; everything that shot at f/4, beautiful, and unclick. So you see there are a lot of nice features with file browsers that make viewing more enjoyable.
I mentioned the other one in case you don't want to use Bridge, because you do have to buy Photoshop, or Illustrator, or something like that to get Bridge. Photo Mechanic is a stand-alone application that works both on Windows and Mac. It's about $150 if you buy it outright, but they do have a demo where you get to try it for awhile. And then, of course, there are others out there. So the main thing I want to show you here are some of the features that come with file browsers. If you decide you like this, find the right one for you. It's a great way to look at your photos.

Watch: Scott Weiland takes us to a 'Winter Wonderland'
Scott Weiland is getting his Bing Crosby croon on in this nostalgic video for "Winter Wonderland" from the Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver front man's totally non-ironic take on one of the most popular holiday standards.
The tune is from Weiland's "Most Wonderful Time of the Year," out now, which features Weiland warbling through a number of Christmas classics surrounded by lush orchestrations and a big band.
[More after the jump...]
The clip would fit in perfectly in an episode of "Pan Am" or "Mad Men," as a nearly unrecognizable Weiland, with his short, slick-backed hair, enjoys the holiday with his G-rated bevy of beauties. For "Mad Man" fans, do you think the shots of the slide player are a little homage to the now classic "The Carousel" episode ?
Where's my heavily-spiked eggnog?

bartender IDed me. I gladly showed my Canadian Drivers license (which is an acceptable form of ID almost everywhere in US including domestic airport DHS staff). The bartender contended that was
an illegal form of ID and rudely refused to serve me. I figured it must be some state law requirement and didnt pursue the matter. A while later, an acquaintance who was by me, walked up to the same bartender and ordered 2 drinks, one for him and one presumably for his wife. The bartender quipped to this acquaintance that he better not get the illegal alien (referring to me) a drink. I walked out of the wedding at that point. Obviously I didnt deserve to be treated in that manner.
Did a little research on the matter and found out that a Canadian Drivers license is an actual valid form of ID in Arizona as per the liquor licensing and law enforcement department of Arizona. See below website
I can understand if the bartenders initial refusal was being simply being misinformed. However hurling baseless charges at me is clearly racist and unacceptable. Patronizing this hotel is akin to encouraging
that kind of behavior. I shall definitely not patronize this or any Waldorf Astoria properties again.
I complained to a manager about this incident and she informed me that she would get in touch with a different manager. The least I expected was a personal apology at checkout, but it seems that the management did'nt even have the lowest level of decency to do that. In my book, if the management does'nt see it fit to offer a personal face to face apology then they are saying that they implicitly agree with the bartender.

In the past 4 years, remarkable advances have been made in our understanding of the pathogenesis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This condition is associated with a severe deficiency of von Willebrand factor–cleaving protease (1–4), now known as ADAMTS13 (5). This deficiency prevents normal processing of large von Willebrand factor multimers that are secreted from endothelial cells (6). Persistence of the large von Willebrand factor multimers in the circulation helps form microvascular platelet thrombi, the pathologic hallmark of TTP (6). Mutations of the ADAMTS13 gene may result in life-long recurrent episodes of TTP due to congenital deficiency of ADAMTS13 (7). Acquired ADAMTS13 deficiency can be caused by autoantibodies (1–3), as in the patient described by Zheng and colleagues in this issue (8).
