Hello I found a problem related to crashing of third party software as a result of stickypassword running.
I know you can disable/ignore software within the settings this does prevents the crashes.
You can however use passwords within this particular program called Directory OPUS. So if I wanted to use sticky password with that program I would need to deal with these crashes.
I'm here to inform you of the situation if you aren't already aware.
I have a link describing my problem at the Directory OPUS forum here:
They helped me track it down to stickypassword causing the crash.
otherwise stickypassword works great. (I use firefox)
They have even offered technical information for you to help resolve the problem! You can contact them if you wish found in the link.

Ever wonder why programming always seems to take longer than expected? Or why what appears to be a simple task often ends up being very difficult? I have a theory that many developers don't use programming patterns nearly as often as they should. Too much wheel re-invention! This article briefly introduces Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network management and shows how two Java patterns can be applied to this complex area. You'll see that the use of patterns is quite straightforward and that knowledge of them helps in rapidly solving common application problems.
An unexpected benefit of the use of patterns is that it moves programmers up the value chain and allows for more beneficial interaction with designers and strategists. If all parties understand patterns, then there is greater scope for mutual understanding and stronger software solutions.
The networking industry often reminds me of the 1980s pre-IBM PC software sector -- you can have anything as long as it's a proprietary solution! Characterized by many competing vendors, the networking industry now labors under the burden of non-standard, multi-vendor architectures. This is seen in service-provider and enterprise networks in the form of a rich mix of devices (switches, routers, hubs, etc.) cobbled together to provide a growing range of services. Traditional service revenues are shrinking as demand for bandwidth and new realtime services is growing. This is a tough industry living in interesting times.
Cisco is emerging as the dominant vendor, but its products are still de facto standards. It is this lack of a standard platform that is complicating the migration to converged IP-based networks. As in the 1980s software industry, the problem is the need for a convergence technology that provides a standard platform (just as the IBM PC with the DOS operating system did back then).
Today, MPLS is the best candidate for providing such a platform, and it is being deployed worldwide by hundreds of service providers. Why is MPLS so special, compared to its predecessors ATM and Frame Relay (FR)? In a nutshell, ATM and FR have scalability problems and they don't provide easy integration with IP. MPLS succeeds by leveraging proven IP protocols and separating control and forwarding into distinct components.
Related Reading
Rick Gallaher's MPLS Training Guide
Componentizing control and forwarding means that the former can be made arbitrarily complex without compromising the packet-forwarding mechanism. The control component can be used to enact complex algorithms on incoming IP traffic, such as performing queue assignment and path selection while leaving the forwarding component untouched. This separation means that forwarding can be performed in hardware, if required. Let's now take the dime tour of MPLS.
MPLS provides the following major elements:
A virtual circuit-based model (rather than IP hop-by-hop): These are called label switched paths (LSPs). One of the Java patterns I use illustrates virtual circuits.
Nodes that understand IP and MPLS are typically called label edge routers (LERs). LERs encapsulate traffic from the outer domain. This traffic can be either layer 2 (Ethernet, ATM, FR, etc.) or layer 3 (IP).
Core nodes inside the MPLS domain are called label switching routers (LSRs).
Traffic engineering (TE): Allows traffic to be explicitly directed through the core.
Quality of service (QoS): Allows resource reservation for different traffic types (e.g., bandwidth, queues, colors, etc.). IP offers just one QoS level: best effort.
Migration from legacy technologies, such as ATM and FR.
Differentiated services: Allows specific traffic to enjoy better service (e.g., real time voice packets versus email packets).
Deployment of IP-based services, such as layer 2 and layer 3 VPN.
We'll see most of these in the following discussion. Figure 1 illustrates a corporate HQ with a remote branch office interconnected by a service provider network. The HQ site enterprise architecture supports a range of applications, including voice over IP (VoIP), video over IP, email, etc. Access to these applications is available over the MPLS-based service provider network.
Figure 1. Multisite Enterprise using IP/MPLS Service Provider
Figure 1 illustrates two LSPs (LSP 1 and LSP 2). Both LSPs have been configured with explicit route objects (EROs): LSP 1 follows the path made up of the interfaces (d, e, f, g, h, i) on nodes (LER A, LSR A, LSR B, LER B).
LSP 2 follows the path made up of the interfaces (c, j, k, l) on nodes (LER A, LSR C, LER B). Typically, the above interfaces would be recorded as IP addresses (e.g., d = 10.81.1.1) -- I use symbols just for simplicity. Selecting paths that optimize network-resource utilization in advance of circuit creation is called traffic engineering. One of the Java patterns I'll use illustrates TE.
LSP 1 has also been configured to reserve bandwidth (in a process called QoS provisioning) along its path of 2Mbps (i.e., 2,000,000 bits/second). This means that the VoIP and video-over-IP traffic can be MPLS-encapsulated and pushed onto this path. LSP 1 terminates on LER B, where any MPLS information is stripped from the packets. At this point, a normal IP lookup occurs and the realtime traffic is forwarded to either the adjacent transit service provider or the branch office, via CE2.
LSP 2 has no bandwidth resources reserved -- it offers a best effort (or standard IP) QoS. This LSP is used to forward the SMTP (email) traffic across the core to LER B. Again, at LER B, the MPLS information is stripped off, and normal IP lookup occurs. The traffic then forwarded to CE Router 2 in the direction of the branch office site.
Figure 1 illustrates three different types of nodes: customer edge (CE), provider edge (PE), and provider core (P). CEs reside on the customer premises and can be basic IP routers. PEs reside at the edge or point of ingress of the provider network, and function as an "on ramp" to the MPLS core. Ps are found inside of the core and may be basic ATM/FR switches that are running MPLS protocols.
A major strength of MPLS is that it uses proven IP protocols to replace existing legacy technologies, such as ATM and Frame Relay. Network management (NM) is a key element of this evolution.
NM is traditionally divided into the five major functional areas called
FCAPS, or "fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security."
A network management system (NMS) operates in conjunction with the managed
network elements (NEs) to fulfill the FCAPS. This is typically done using a
combination of NE command-line interfaces (CLI) and SNMP entities. The CLI
is the NE user-level menu system, typically accessed using
telnet or
a serial interface on the device. SNMP is a message-oriented protocol
from the TCP/IP suite. In Figure 1, the NMS can use either CLI or SNMP on
the various NEs. One advantage of SNMP is that it is a standard protocol.
Faults (or informational events) can occur at any time on devices embedded deep within the network. SNMP provides a mechanism by which fault information can be communicated to an NMS. The NMS operator (or the NMS itself) can then take appropriate action. Configuration is the process by which the settings on NEs can be retrieved or updated. In many commercial NMS products, this is done using the CLI. Accounting (or billing) is the process by which managed network resources are financially analyzed; e.g., the generation of departmental or user bills. Performance information is crucial to network operators to determine if the network is fulfilling contractual service-level agreements or even just to determine if NEs are experiencing congestion or the onset of failure. Finally, security is required to ensure protection of the NEs and the data in transit over them. For a more thorough description of the FCAPS functional areas, see "Network Management and MPLS."
SNMP facilitates FCAPS support in the form of Management Information Bases (MIBs, described below) and a simple messaging protocol. Messages are provided that allow retrieval and configuration of NE data, as well as access to fault data. Fault (or informational) data is typically emitted autonomously by the NEs as and when problems occur. Accounting and performance data can also be derived from MIB objects. SNMPv3 provides strong security and authentication features. More information on SNMP can be found in SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, and RMON 1 and 2, 3rd Edition, by William Stallings, Pearson Education 1998 and Network Management, MIBs & MPLS: Principles, Design & Implementation, by Stephen B. Morris, Prentice Hall 2003.
Many commercial packages provide SNMP API -- one that I've used is Sun Microsystems' JDMK.
A principal component of network management is the MIB. This is the schema used by the NMS to understand the data maintained by the managed NEs. Think of a MIB as a large collection of defined data objects that are of interest to network management. The MIB is shared by both the NMS and the NEs, but the NEs actually implement and maintain the values of the managed object instances. The NMS uses the MIB schema to understand the NE-resident MIB objects.
The cornerstone of network management is the NMS. Typically packaged as a client/server (or N-tier) application suite, the NMS features thin clients and simple topological GUIs. Clients interact with the topology (e.g., the network in Figure 1) using the various NMS server components (see Network Management, MIBs & MPLS: Principles, Design & Implementation by Stephen B. Morris, Prentice Hall 2003). The code examples that follow are of software elements that would typically fit into the NMS server code base. Let's now look at our Java patterns.
The two Java patterns I want to describe are Abstract Factory and Prototype. The sample code illustrating these patterns is available in the resources section at the end of the article.
The Abstract Factory pattern is used for defining and creating objects
such as the LSPs and EROs in Figure 1. The following lists
and illustrates this pattern as an interface with two methods:
public interface VirtualCircuitFactory
// Create a generic virtual circuit
public VirtualCircuit createVirtualCircuit();
// Creates TE data for the generic virtual circuit
public TrafficEngineering createTrafficEngineering();
//public QualityOfService createQualityOfService();
The third method,
createQualityOfService(), is commented out and is a
placeholder for adding extra capability to the class.
VirtualCircuitFactory interface is implemented by
public class LSPFactory implements VirtualCircuitFactory
public VirtualCircuit createVirtualCircuit()
return new LSP();
public TrafficEngineering createTrafficEngineering(){
return new LSPTrafficEngineering();
LSPFactory.java uses the
VirtualCircuit.java abstract class.
VirtualCircuit provides network node endpoints for a generic virtual circuit
type (the latter can be ATM, FR, MPLS, etc.).
LSPFactory specializes the
behavior of
VirtualCircuit by adding MPLS-specific attributes.
Similarly, to model ATM or FR virtual circuits, you just have to add an
associated factory class. The two methods in
LSPFactory return the following
two objects:
Please note: the factory classes in this article are not implemented as singletons and don't contain static methods, so there can be many factory instances. In a typical NMS application, this might well occur. However, at the point where data is created on network devices, it is generally necessary to impose some type of locking action. This can be achieved via the database. An alternative is implementing the factories as singletons so that all network data-affecting actions are handled in instance only.
LSP class extends the
VirtualCircuit class with the addition
of LSP-specific attributes, such as MIB index variables.
The latter are used to distinguish between the other LSPs that originate on the same
network node; i.e., LSP 1 and LSP 2.
public class LSP extends VirtualCircuit {
private int index;
private int instanceIndex;
// Add many more items here as per the MPLS MIB tunnel table
private static final String TYPE = "STANDARD MPLS";
private static final String COMMA = ",";
public int getIndexValue(){ return index; }
public int getInstanceIndexValue(){ return instanceIndex; }
public String getVirtualCircuitType(){ return TYPE; }
public void setIndexValue(int newIndex){ index = newIndex; }
public void setInstanceIndexValue(int newInstanceIndex){
instanceIndex = newInstanceIndex; }
public String getLSPDetails(){
return getIndexValue() + SPACE +
getInstanceIndexValue() + SPACE +
getVCEndpoints() + EOL_STRING +
getVirtualCircuitType() + EOL_STRING;
It's important to note that there are many more attributes associated with
an LSP than those indicated here. The MPLS-TE MIB illustrates the relevant attributes in the
mplsTunnelTable object. The LSP class sits at the bottom
of our pattern hierarchy and provides us with Java code for manipulating LSPs.
As noted above, an important attribute of an LSP is TE data; i.e., the path
taken by the LSP as it traverses the network. This is modelled by the
LSPTrafficEngineering.java that provides type and route data.
The above classes are combined in
RunPattern.java, where the virtual
circuit factory is used to instantiate an
LSP object. Next, the attributes of
the LSP are set -- in this case, the two MIB index values (1 and 0) and
the originating and terminating node details (LER A-10.1.1.1 and
LER B-126.96.36.199). The traffic engineering details are then set up for
this LSP using the
setRouteData() method. The output below illustrates
the executed pattern.
E:\Abstract Factory>java RunPattern
LSP creation example using the AbstractFactory pattern
(I use the VirtualCircuit and TrafficEngineering classes when writing
almost all of the code. This allows you to produce a
generic framework, and plug in Concrete Factories
and Products to specialize the behavior of the code.
The LSP and LSPTrafficEngineering classes provide
the required behavior specialization in this case.)
Creating LSP and TrafficEngineering objects:
LSP Data (MIB index values):
LSP Traffic Engineering Data: (please see Figure 1 for the details)
Traffic Engineering Data is typically defined in terms of IP addresses.
We just use node and interface names for simplicity.
LER A(d) + LSR A(e,f) + LSR B(g,h) + LER B(i)
ERO - Explicit
Once these objects have been created (e.g., under the direction of a GUI client user), they can be written to a database or provisioned to the network (such as in Figure 1). These require access to specific back-end technology; e.g., JDBC for the database and JDMK for SNMP.
LSP 1 in Figure 1 could be created using this pattern. The Prototype pattern that we discuss next could be used to create LSP 2.
A common NMS requirement is the ability to clone an existing object. Very often, NMS objects require a lot of configuration -- in many cases, dozens of variables must be set. It's a little like setting up a new PC! Some examples are when you want to create a backup LSP to protect an existing LSP, or if you want to create a new LSP that is similar to an existing one, as in Figure 1. Cloning provides the ability to inherit the benefits of your hard work!
The Prototype pattern gives us a convenient way of providing cloning.
I've added to the
AbstractFactory example to show how this can be done.
First, I provide the
Copyable interface, which has a single
copy(). The
copy() method must be implemented by
In addition, I added a default constructor and a non-default
constructor to
LSP.java. The non-default constructor is called
when a client wants to clone an LSP by calling the
copy() method.
The executed pattern is shown in the output below.
E:\prototype>java RunPattern
Example of the Prototype pattern
I use the AbstractFactory to create an LSP.
This is then cloned to create a copy.
The new LSP can then be modified as required.
Creating LSP and TrafficEngineering objects:
LSP Data:
LSP Traffic Engineering Data: (please see Figure 1 for the details)
Traffic Engineering Data is typically defined in terms of IP addresses.
We just use node and interface names for simplicity.
LSP Traffic Engineering Data:
LER A(d) + LSR A(e,f) + LSR B(g,h) + LER B(i)
ERO - Explicit
Creating second LSP using the clone() method.
Second LSP created.
The Prototype pattern makes it easy to create new LSPs based on existing ones. Clearly, this applies to other varieties of managed objects, as well.
There is considerable scope for using Java patterns in network management.
In many cases, network management infrastructure is developed late in the
project lifecycle of NE features. So when a given MPLS feature is being
added to a NE platform, the associated MIBs, and SNMP entities are only
added once the core device code has been written. This misses an opportunity
for adding value by parallel development of device and network-management
software. Even with this, the merit of using Java patterns is the speed at
which code can be produced. The code for this article took no more than
a day to write. I tried to write it to accommodate generic base classes
(e.g., the
VirtualCircuit class provides just endpoints) with more
specialized behavior provided by subclasses (e.g., the LSP class).
Similarly, other virtual-circuit-oriented technologies, such as
ATM/FR, can be supported by just providing associated subclasses. It is
easy to then expand this LSP class to support other desirable
features, such as cloning.
Some of the benefits of Java patterns in network management are quicker development and more maintainable NMS software. More information on MPLS can be found in the article "Network Management and MPLS" and the book MPLS: Technology and Applications by Bruce Davie and Yakov Rekhtker.

Wis. audit seeks info on UW's new Internet plans
State auditors want the University of Wisconsin System Administration to clarify how it plans to provide Internet services to its schools.
The UW System currently uses WiscNet, a nonprofit cooperative that brings high-speed Internet services to UW schools as well as to most public schools and libraries in the state. WiscNet gets most of its funds from the public entities, prompting arguments that it was unfairly competing with the private sector.
A law that takes effect next summer will change how that arrangement works. To comply, UW System institutions plan to discontinue their WiscNet memberships and get Internet access elsewhere.
In a report released Tuesday, the state Legislative Audit Bureau asked the UW System Administration to clarify how it will provide Internet services and how it will pay for them.

Hawaiian Telcom says the cause of service outages on Tuesday was a fire in the early morning hours beneath the H-1 Freeway airport viaduct which burned a large span of fiber optic cable.
Emergency Medical Services officials say a man in his late 50s was burned when the area where he resided caught fire at around 1 a.m. at Nimitz Highway and Kakoi Street. The man was hospitalized in serious condition.
It took firefighters 90 minutes to extinguish the flames, according to fire officials. The cause of the fire was undetermined.
Services of other carriers with facilities in the area are also believed to be affected.
Oceanic Time Warner Cable says approximately 15,000 of its customers experienced a loss of their lower channels on digital cable from around the time the fire happened until around noon. All channels have since been restored.
One-half of Oceanic's Internet capacity to the mainland has also been affected by the damage. Although this has not resulted in an outage, customers across the state will experience slow Internet browsing and intermittent busy phone signals until the situation is resolved.
The service outages are being primarily experienced in West Oahu, but also other areas of Oahu and portions of Kauai.
Our Facebook discussion shows different carriers affected. A resorts company says its business is being impacted in West Maui.
The outage is also affecting Kauai police's dispatch line, according to Kauai county officials. The 911 emergency line was not affected, but the public is being asked to limit their 911 calls to emergencies only.
Hawaiian Telcom is working to re-route as much traffic as possible to restore services to impacted customers.
About 10,000 Hawaiian Telcom customers were impacted. A number of customers had service restored by Tuesday afternoon.
Call volumes at its call centers are extremely high and customers attempting to reach the company may receive busy signals.
Hawaiian Telcom apologizes for the disruption in service and is dedicating all available resources to address customer needs.

Walker downplays impact of federal cuts on Wis.
Calls the cuts bad policy, but not economically crippling
Gov. Scott Walker is downplaying the potential harm to Wisconsin's economy from the federal spending cuts set to take effect Friday, calling the across-the-board cuts bad policy, but not economically crippling.
Walker tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he might be afraid if he was the governor of Virginia because of that state's large defense presence. But he says Wisconsin doesn't have big military bases, and that Wisconsin's military contractors have already started to prepare.
The White House says Wisconsin stands to lose millions of dollars. It's trying to persuade Republicans in Congress to accept a deal that would include spending cuts and higher tax revenue.
But Walker says Republicans are right to insist that any 11th-hour deal comprise spending reductions only and not tax increases.

Bouncing Back
Yanks Win Game 2 & Even Series
That's comforting. Game 1 seems so far away now that we've won game 2. Now my boys head to Philly with the series even. But they have the momentum now. My babies won game 2 3-1, and it was a great game.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett in a big, BIG game? Most Yankee fans were a bit worried about that. Honestly, I was a teeny-weeny-bit nervous about A.J. But after the first pitch, those nerves were gone. I mean it. When I saw him throw his fastball for a strike on the first pitch, I knew I was going to see the good A.J. And boy, was he good! Burnett went 7 innings and allowed just 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 9 Phillies. The Phillies looked as lost at the plate against Burnett as the Yanks did against Lee in game 1. A.J. was that good. He deserves a ton of credit. I love how the FOX announcers didn't give him any. Eff them.
Look at that stare…damn…when he's this good, I just fall for him….I was drooling for him last night….;)
Mariano Rivera was called upon to get the 6 out save, and I don't blame Girardi for doing that. I don't trust anyone in the Yankee bullpen right now. Mo did a nice job.
Defensive Analysis: Great defense last night. My favorite play was in the 4th. Jayson Werth led off with a single. I hate Jayson Werth. I think he's gross. He looks like a goat. No, he looks like that wrestler Edge!
Maybe that's why I hate him.
Anyway, he was on first. Molina decided to show off. He made a snap throw to Tex, who made the tag on Werth for the out! Haha, Molina caught him sleeping! It was so cool.
Werth looks like he's gonna spank Tex! How dare he?!
Offensive Analysis: That play by Molina may have sparked something in the Yanks. Mark Teixeria led off the inning with a solo homer into the Yankee bullpen. Then in the 6th, Matsui hit a solo homer to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead! Haha, Pedro, who's your daddy now?
Oh, yeah, it's still us!
Hahaha, I love it
The Yanks added on another in the 7th. Posada knocked in a run with a pinch-hit RBI single. That made it 3-1, and that's how it ended.
I liked this game better that game 1. Game 1 made me angry….very. Winning is a good thing. The heroes for the victory are A.J. Burnett, for beasting, Mariano Rivera, for preventing the stinky bullpen from pitching, and Mark Teixeira, for his homer and for just being adorable.
And speaking of Tex, he reminds me of someone….
Well, I see it.
7 Comments
That was a huge win for us, no doubt. Can't go into Philly down 0-2. Yeah we've lost the first two home games and come out on top in the end, but it hasn't happened often enough that I would feel confident if it had happened to us.
AJ gave us exactly what we needed, we still need help scoring runs but a win is a win is a win. Now let's kick some a$s.
Okay so it's congrats for the win of game 2, even though I think the home plate umpires balls'n'strikes favored NY… now its off to Philly….:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
OMG.. .you nailed it with Jayson Werth! : )
Great Post.. fabulous. I loved every word.
The Jayson Werth comparison with the wrestler Edge is just so funny. You're right, the FOX announcers can say such silly things. Anyways it's off to game 3!
Matthew Tang
Werth does look like that wrestler. LOL! Getting nervous about tonight's game so I'm going to the movies to distract myself. We need Andy to show everybody why he's such a big game pitcher. Go Andy! Go Yanks!
So happy this series is even now. I think we have the momentum back in our favor, now we need to use it! Honestly, I was falling for AJ too. He was just… mmm… dirrrty😉 LOL. And as for Jayson Werth, he needs to shave Alvin or Simon or Theodore or Chip or Dale or whoever it is off of his chin. He looks ridiculous.
Loved this post! You never want to call a game a "must win" but this one was pretty close.

Wisconsin high school students would be required to take three credits each of math and science, instead of two, under a proposal headed for a vote in the state Senate.
The bipartisan bill up for a vote Tuesday comes as the state's school districts are implementing more rigorous academic requirements under the Common Core State Standards. The higher requirement would also bring Wisconsin more in line with neighboring states.
The proposal allows for a computer science class to count as a math credit and an agricultural sciences course as a science credit.
The measure also gives schools flexibility to award math and science credits to students who are in career and technical education programs.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
After starting his Detroit Tigers career with seven straight winning seasons, Dan Petry struggled to a 5-10 mark -- the worst winning percentage of his career -- with a 4.66 ERA in 20 starts, the fewest since his rookie year. The down season came a year after his only All-Star berth.

"Simply Beautiful"

I love my 2" Estate wood blinds. Our home was built in the 1890's and I love the blinds because they look great without additional drapes or valances. I prefer simple.View this product

In 1956 Hugh Everett III published his Ph.D. dissertation titled "The Theory of the Universal Wave Function." In this paper Everett argued for the relative state formulation of quantum theory and a quantum philosophy, which denied wave collapse. (DOWNLOAD HERE)
Initially, this interpretation was highly criticized by the physics community and when Everett visited Niels Bohr in Copenhagen in 1959 Bohr was unimpressed with Everett's most recent development.[1] In 1957 Everett coined his theory as the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics. In an attempt to circumvent the problem of defining the mechanism for the state of collapse Everett suggested that all orthogonal relative states are equally valid ontologically.[2] What this means is that all-possible states are true and exist simultaneously.

I was just curious if anyone as used the Mirena IUD while breastfeeding and what your thoughts were. I was told I could either use the IUD or the mini-pill while nursing. I chose the IUD because I actually got pregnant while using the mini-pill. I have had it in for about 10 weeks and so far I have been spotting on and off up to this point. It's frustrating.
Does it have any effects on the breastmilk that you know of? And does it change your hormones at all? The only benefit so far is my migraines have completely disappeared... so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with having the IUD.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Technical Workshops
Our Technical Workshops focus primarily on the technical, or "nuts and bolts", aspects of a specific assay or toxicological end point. We bring together a small group of participants who have extensive experience or specialized knowledge of the assay for intensive scientific review and debate. The goal of the Technical Workshop is to clearly define and understand the procedures for conducting a specific assay and to investigate the mechanistic relationship between the in vitro assay and the human toxicological endpoint of interest.
The work product of this style of workshop is a report outlining the state-of-the-art of the assay and delineating what additional investigations or modifications should be undertaken. These reports are then widely distributed among the in vitro testing community and are used in the development and improvement of the assays.
Please contact us for more information.

Unemployment Rate Rises To 7.3 Percent
By Renee Montagne • Nov 8, 2013
Originally published on November 8, 2013 9:17 am
Employers added 204,000 jobs to payrolls in October. The jobless rate edged up a bit, but that was likely a temporary phenomenon caused by the partial shutdown of the federal government. For more, Renee Montagne talks with NPR's John Ydstie.

"I bought a jute rug for my living room. The rug arrived fairly quickly and it was exactly what I wanted. I would shop here again."

L. Keighley Kettering, OH, Jun. 2016
"I bought a large pad and cut it into smaller sizes for my runner and small oriental rugs. Results in a lower price per square foot than buying individual pads. The premium felt pad provides good cushioning and holds the rugs in place."
B. Parker Bradenton, FL, Jun. 2016
"One corner of the rug is coming loose (the threads) already, but otherwise it looks good!!"
T. Bockstahler Toledo, OH, Jun. 2016
"The 11'x14' jute rug I ordered came quickly, was well packaged and was very well made. I ordered jute rather then sisal because I had read that it is softer to walk on. I was afraid it would be too orange or too dark but it is a nice neutral color that would work with any color scheme. It is soft for a natural grass rug. My grandchildren sit and play on the rug, my dog loves it. We are really happy with the purchase. The pricing is great and the quality much better then I could find elsewhere for the price. It is holding up well, some shedding, which I expected. I will definitely order again."

Wrong, wrong and extra wrong across the board. Regardless of how well it translates into your own language and then translates into English, THE PARADISE is an incorrect use of THE in the English language.
I'm an English teacher and do professional translations in my spare time. Asking me to check Google translation is fucking laughable at best. Daniell, nothing you said makes any sense considering everything I wrote is grammatically correct. Therion's use of "THE" is being used improperly. Go wrestle with that one.
Any time you non-native speakers want to step up and test me feel free. I get paid R$50+ an hour for this shit and accept payments via PayPal. Thanks for stopping by and please come again.
THE is being used improperly
Quote:You are easily the dumbest motherfucker I've ever met online. I've met a lot of stupid assholes in my time but you take the fucking cake buddy. I didn't really expect some Polack retard to even attempt to confront me openly so I'll give you credit for that, but you've made yourself look like a complete fucking retard in front of everyone at this point.
The only thing that'll save you now is to ban me for life.
Written by ponderer on 21.10.2010 at 03:54
Quote:Since this anyway pointless discussion is completely off-topic, please limit your imminent hateful response to a PM. I implore you.
Um... "since this anyway pointless discussion" is totally incorrect grammar genius. You have amazing English skills and you actually have the balls to confront a native English speaker with that shit?!?!??! You really put your foot in it now.
So let me get this straight, you get to reply here and make a total ass of yourself because you know NOTHING about English and I'm supposed to use a PM?
I've been teaching English for the last 13 years and I sure the fuck know when and where to use BEING in a sentence. Like some non-native doucheabag Eurotard troll is going to come on here and tell me how to do my job? I don't think so son. Why don't you go back to whatever passes for school in Poland, get some English skills before you start making a complete fucking ass of yourself on an open forum, and then go troll someone else because quite frankly I'm sick of listening to your stupid bullshit on here.
EVER WONDER WHY NOT ONE FUCKING NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER BOTHERED TO POST ON THIS THREAD? That's right. They are all laughing at your stupid ass. You wanted a piece of me, you got it buddy. I'm not about to take any shit from some Polak.
I am curious about something though... what was it like having your country raped by Germans and then ignored by the rest of the world?
You might as well fucking ban me now because I'm never going to relent. You called me out and you are going to pay.

That's right everyone, I'm old. I'm obviously the worst of my kind. My BEING old is my biggest fault as a human being and my BEING rude to daniell the Polish troll is me just BEING an asshole. THE lunch is ready so I need to go eat THE lunch. Feel free to perm ban me from THE Metalstorm for having my own opinion and not bowing down to some guy who can barely construct a coherent sentence in THE English.

To all those who have a problem with Ponderer:
He's indeed arrogant and retarded. So hopeless there's nothing to do with him. I realized this after some discussion and stopped replying to him.
And he said after a while that "it should be continued on PMs". I told him to fuck off. He doesn't worth the attention. He's ignorant and hopeless anyway.
He's stuck in the past and should have stayed in the 80s, where he belongs. There's nothing worse than those people stuck in the past who believe they know everything better than others and refuse to accept that things change with time. All they do is spitting their bitterness on boards because they try to fight changes, a fight lost in advance.
That's why I despise and hate traditional Heavy Metal lovers in general (though many of them are fine - but you also get lots of unpleasant people like Ponderer from fans of this genre).

Cold weather gets luke-warm welcomeBy Anders Ax
Staff Report | January 03,2013Although Thursday was an exceptionally cold day, with a high of only 10 degrees and a low of negative eight, many were able to beat the chill.
Kellsey Oakes of Sheldon stopped into Sundaze Tanning Salon for a few minutes of warmth.
"I definitely come when it's most cold," Oakes said.
When Oakes stepped outside, she said the cold "took my breath away. It's insane. I need to move out of Vermont," she added laughing.
Tammy Errington, owner of Sundaze, said that she's had women show up on their half-hour lunch breaks just to warm up.
"This morning I've been swamped," Errington said.
Errington said that recently, simply because it's winter, business has picked up. But people have also been showing up more often to get a dose of vitamin D from the sun that's been behind the clouds.
"For everyone, it's not about the tan. It's the vitamin D. They flock in for the vitamin D."
For Molly Hornbeck of Whiting and Sarah Stanley of Brandon, they're about to travel to St. John.
"I'm going to study abroad," Stanley said. "I need to get a base before I fry."
Upstairs in Ben and Jerry's, Ariana Thomas of Shrewsbury pressed hot waffle cones on a sizzling griddle coated on the outside with burned grease.
"Well, my car wouldn't start this morning that was sort of a bummer," Thomas said. Luckily, her father let her use his, but she said the cold hasn't really been bothering her. In fact, she welcomes it.
"I'm actually really excited, after last year without any real snow."
Thomas finds the cold to be kind of fun, but doesn't believe she'd want to be outside too long.
"If I was working outside, I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune."

Hi everyone.
My LO is 12 weeks old and UNFORTUNATELY!! I have to start working on the 23th. I started him to give him the bottle with the extra milk I pump like 4 times a day since last week.
However, I started to notice that when I offer him my breast he acts like doesnt like it. He latches and starts sucking correctly but after a minute he pulles off from the breast and start crying, I then give him the bottle.
I take my 3 tab of Fenugreek, eat oatmeal and drink plenty of water plus I am pumping like a maniac and still only get 2 onz per pumping which then I have to give him back because he is refusing to take my breast
The actual result is that I DONT HAVE ANY MILK SAVED FOR THIS WESD 23TH!!!!!!!!!
I dont want to give him formula but the reality is that I have only 2 days!!! to get more milk
Please help what shoul I do!!

Have you ever run a marathon? Any kind of race? Watched one?

You go, MollyMo! I'll lift a glass in your honor during my marathon drinking session. 🙂ReplyCancel
Did you watch Southern Charm?ReplyCancel
Im with the girls! drinking marathons almost every weekend watching others struggling hard to the olympics or elsewhere. When I see that tired sad faces I start the icecream marathon. depresses me to watch ppl doing harm to their bodies lolReplyCancel
Austin. The Bun Run. You got a T-Shirt sponsored by Schlotsky's: it said on the back "Best Buns in Town". You could walk, trot or shuffle – your choice. I made it through with a friend, then we went to eat breakfast afterwards. Stuffed myself. I made several of those Runs and really enjoyed myself. Then arthritis set in. Now I don't run or walk three miles a day, but you should see me walking around the heated gym pool. I'm amazing.ReplyCancel
Oh she so is. The other girl is a Real World alum, San Diego season.ReplyCancel
2 Half Marathons, and a zillion 5, 8, and 10 Ks. Also did a 10 mile race in December.ReplyCancel
I ran 2 marathaons (NYC in 2011 and 2013). I didn't even start running until my 30s. I ran a 4 mile race and was shocked I finished- and signed up for a half. After I finished the half, I thought I could never do a marathon. Two years laters, I finished my first marathon!ReplyCancel
There was a SOMETHING marathon on the news here in Philly a couple months ago which ran from the sports complex in south Philly to…um…INFINITY? ((Shrugs))
The WHITE people were in various stages of run and swim wear which was pink. I don't remember it being a cancer awareness thing (cause of the pink) but that could b due to copious amounts of nicotine and beer.
Anyhoo my ex and I were marveling (mostly laughing and mocking) at the fact that the WHITE people were having so much fun and it was so cold and they were so naked and they will run for anything…as we sat on our out-of-shape black asses smoking and drinking…
So YES I've WATCHED a marathon enty.ReplyCancel
I'm training for an 8K now in July which actually set the world record as the fastest. I'm working my way up to half marathons and marathons. Ran numerous 5K races already.ReplyCancel
Yay!! Congrats and good luck! I live in TN. What city is your race in?ReplyCancel
I think with that résumé, you'll be ok without adding marathon.ReplyCancel
To all of u running Marathons…
U r all awesome. I'd love to start running but must kick the nicotine first.
Kudos to u guys…
Funny story @fancyscreenname I still smoke…not my proudest moment but I smoke and I can still run and do decent so, I haven't kicked it yet.ReplyCancel
that's inspiring. REALLY.
If people here only knew that as soon as I get done running I go to the car and light one up on the way home lol I know If I'd quit I'd probably do awesome at running but…it's just hard to kick it.ReplyCancel
@ fancyscreenname – Me too. I'm a smoker. I'm trying to quit by my birthday (in May), but totally ran 13.1 miles and lit up after. I know. It makes no sense. Glad to know I'm not the only one whoever else said they run and smoke too.
Don't let your other bad habits keep you from running! It's fun. And it really does make you feel happy. Eventually.ReplyCancel
I do the Liver Life 5k at the San Diego Zoo every year. We have a growing team each year. I took my mom's place on her team when she passed, and walk for my uncle, and 2 family friends that died of liver disease.ReplyCancel
@kara well we can start our own running smokers club lol @fancyscreenname I originally started running for the simple fact that I was overweight and everyone said I'd never make it a mile, let alone 3 miles. So I started running as mainly an FU to the naysayers and ended up losing weight and falling in love with running. Don't let anything stop you if you wanna do it!ReplyCancel
Only if you consider the guy with a knife as my personal trainer…ReplyCancel
Nooo. I don't run yet just wishful thinking. I do walk a lot though. The only issue with me getting a car is the weight I'll gain and the how lazy I will get by just jumping in a car and zooming there. I've mostly lived in metropolitan areas and felt a car unnecessary but as I age am feeling the need for a vehicle. Lol
I don't exercise but "Get exercise" by how much I walk. People are always stunned that I walked from point a to point b. Weird…
Keep up the good work though. You guy a are inspiring. I hope to join u all at some point.
Your story makes me happy. I love that u shut up your haters and proved them wrong.
Curious. If u have the time. Even if its later (hours/days) this post will come to my email.
What was your first run like? As a person who is just getting out there, what should I expect? I kinda feel like I should just do it one day and the smoking will taper off but this is the plan in my head, of course. LolReplyCancel
"I only run with my hands full."
–Hunter S. Thompson, Curse of Lono (about the Honolulu Marathon)ReplyCancel
Yes, I do two a year plus a few halfs each season. If I stay injury free this year I may do an ultra (beginners edition, 50k)ReplyCancel
@fancyscreenname I first started on the treadmill as that's a controlled environment and if I passed out at least I'd be found quickly ha my first 5k race was emotional. It was the Susan g Komen and I had set 4 goals for myself a year prior and that was my last goal to reach. My g-ma had died from breast cancer so as I crossed the line I had tears rolling down my face. A very common emotion at almost any race for numerous reasons. The first time you get out there, it's gonna suck ass. I won't lie. You'll wanna stop. You'll get mad or bored or pissed or all of the above. Your lungs will burn and you wanna say to hell with it. That's the moment you dig in and go even harder. Trust me. My advice wld be to follow a program like the "couch to 5k" program. I didn't follow one and just took off and it was a little daunting plus you set yourself up for injuries in doing so. Shin splints are a bitch! Lol google that program and it'll set you up to start gradually and work your way up. The smoking crave will taper off as mine did. I still smoke as a stress reliever but I don't smoke near as much as I did at the beginning. Just set your mind to it and keep going. Even when you don't wanna do it, go do it. The results will come and the hard work will pay off!!! 🙂ReplyCancel
@kristin I promise if I see you, I'll call 9-1-1. Btw I had to change names. My name on here used to be Imjustsayin…I was the one with my seatbelt on in my pic lol I rem you gave me sweet compliments on my reader pic and I really appreciate itReplyCancel
Thanks Courtney. Will definitely Google couch to 5k. You've been really helpful.
@fancyscreenname aww yay! Glad I cld help!! Anytime!ReplyCancel
I just wanted to share: I've been running for a couple of years (okay jogging. Okay, I look like I'm tripping slowly in a circle with a really red face) but blew my knee out in September. Tonight was the first time since I've been able to do the 3 miles / 5 k I used to do every time. I totally high fived myself, you know it! Even a little more than 3 miles! I know that's not even close to a marathon. Or half marathon. But it's huge for me!ReplyCancel
I was wondering where you were, imJustSaying!ReplyCancel
I ran the rock n roll full back in November. It was an ass kicker, it topped 90 degrees that day. Plus, as I discovered at Christmas, I was 4-weeks pregnant.
I wanted to run at least a half while pregnant, but it turns out I don't have anything to prove 🙂
Training for that is a real bitch. I was running 300 miles a month or more.
I run my first marathon in 8 days. Ran my first half last October, then ran 6 more in a row after that. Last August was the first time I'd run more than 7 miles. I still positively hate the first 3 miles of any run. 3-18 is pretty awesome. After 18, we'll, that's kind of like workReplyCancel
@talkstoomuch I'm here! Lost my password, the thing logged me out, long story short I'm here but with a new name!!ReplyCancel
Yay for you!!! That's great!ReplyCancel
@k'smom good for your friend!! The bitch I knew went down and she ain't invited back! 🙂ReplyCancel
Well I'll be cheering you on here in TN!ReplyCancel
@CourtneyD Hey girl Hey!! Glad you're back. Remember to alert the phone tree* next time you leave for an extended period of time 🙂
Thanks, guys! High fives backatacha, Court and K!ReplyCancel
@kristin noted!! 🙂 @talkstoomuch I'm glad you missed me! <3ReplyCancel
Glad to see you back, Courtney!ReplyCancel
4 marathons. 4 hours each time!ReplyCancel
Good luck K'sMom! Tell us how you did!
And @fancyscreenname – the big thing for me was to not worry about feeling stupid because you can't run very far at first. Walk when you can't run, run when you can and before you know it, you will be logging some decent distances! Too many people worry about how they look when they run. Don't. If you see someone that actually looks good while running, trip them and hate on them! (In your mind) because that's just not fair! The rest of us are all sweaty and gross. 🙂ReplyCancel
Thanks for the advice.

Hi! My name is Tamatha. I have been in Girl Scouts for four years. Every year at cookie season, I make a goal for where I want to sell up to. This year I want to sell up to 500 boxes. Instead of just making a goal for us, we can make a goal for the troop by selling enough cookies and getting enough money, we can go on trips like the Birmingham Zoo.
Our troop also has to make decisions by deciding what trip we will go on. We also have to decide how many cookies to bring to booth sales. When we have a booth sale at the mall for three hours, we will decide on how the cookies usually sell and how many hours we are selling. If Thanks-a-lots sell really well, we will bring 3 or 4 cases, but if Lemonades don't sell that well, we will only bring 1 or 2 cases.
When my troop earned the Money Management badge, we had to learn that when a customer bought two boxes of cookies it would cost $7.00 and if they paid with a $10 bill, they would get $3 back; but if they pay with a $20 bill, they would get $13 back. If we bought 2 movie tickets and each are $6 and we pay with a $20 bill, we will get $8 back.
I learn how to communicate with different people by being polite using manners, listening to people and lots of others. When selling cookies, you have to be able to ask politely. I learn to be courteous by listening to why they want to buy cookies and why they do not want to buy cookies and accepting their reasons.
Selling cookies is a business and I am a part of that business. I learn how to take care of money and give correct change. I learned a whole lot about supply and demand. Having enough cookies for the demand of my customers, keeps me very busy.
As a Girl Scout and part of the cookie business, I have learned a whole lot and will learn more with each cookie sale.

Dinner raffle coming in AprilMarch 11,2013
The only compensation for serving as chairman or chairwoman of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce board of directors is the personal satisfaction of leading the region's largest business association. However, recent history indicates that holding the position can bring some financial reward as well.
Four times in the past seven years, a former board chairman or chairwoman has won the annual chamber dinner raffle and taken home at least a portion of the $4,000 top prize.
Dona Bate won the raffle in 2008, and Brian Aitchison won it three years later. Carol Dawes split the top prize in 2006, and three years later, Harry Monti grabbed a piece of the top prize. Each had previously served as head of the chamber board.
Recently retired chairman Steve Gilman and raffle founder Marion Milne are among those who hope the pattern continues April 23, when this year's raffle dinner is held at the Canadian Club.
Milne was chairwoman of the board when the first raffle was held in 1983. She organized the inaugural event and has been its mainstay for three decades. Over that time, the event generated the money for a down payment on the chamber's office building in Berlin and a portion of the money needed to renovate and expand it in 2001. The expansion provided meeting rooms that serve the needs of 80 business and nonprofit organizations each year.
Milne and Gilman, along with the current chairwoman, Susan Kruthers, and the board of directors are preparing for the upcoming event.
"It's a key event in the chamber year," Kruthers said.
When the chamber was renovated in 2001, it became one of the region's first meeting spaces with high-speed Internet. It helped emphasize the power of the internet to hundreds of business and community leaders.
Cameras in the meeting rooms nudged broader use of video for public meetings area-wide.
Tickets for the dinner and drawing can be purchased from any chamber director or by contacting the chamber office.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

In Memoriam
Friends.We gather here today to mourn the passing of two spirits who never had a chance. But, although they might be gone, their memories will live on in all of us.
The Hopes of the 2008 Detroit Tigers
It's always sad to see a flame snuffed out before it truly had a chance to flourish. However, the once brilliant blaze that was the hopes for the Detroit Tigers appears to have flickered out. Now, please don't misunderstand me here. Despite the apparent lack of life that characterizes the Tigers at this point, I still refuse to accept their demise. I mean, people come back from the dead all the time in the movies (although usually they're either zombies, vampires or part of some secret plan that involves injecting them with a serum so they appear lifeless and an evil scientist comes by during the night to squirrel the corpse away to a secret hideout at which point he reanimates them). I mean, anything is possible.
But, if we go merely by appearances, one would have to believe that the injection of fresh talent and the millions of dollars spent on creating a colossus to deal with the Yankees and Red Sox of the world was merely a horribly informed experiment. And so we grieve but yet we hope. I mean, 2-9 is better then 0-11, right? Right? Someone? Anyone?
The Humility of Jeffery Lung
However, it is our second spirit for whom I mourn the most. Ladies and gentlemen, when humility dies, we all suffer. And today we suffer immeasurably. I still remember the young man who came to me with an idea for a blog and the dreams we both had for where it would go. I remember that he promised to remain a man of the people. And I remember the day this all died. Ah, Jeffery. You were so young. It didn't have to be this way. But here we are and this is how it goes.
So, as we remember Mr. Lung's humility, fickle spirit that it may have been, and the hopes of the Detroit Tigers, as promising as they may have been, we leave them here and hope to see them again one day on the other side. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
2 Comments
Jeff era un hombre humilde y noble que se levantó a la fama a través de su " del blog de MLB; Azul rojo State" del estado;. Una vez que él alcanzó sus metas de la dominación del blog, él cambió a un hombre poseído con su nueva energía. Gracias Allen por traer a la luz la muerte de la humildad de Jeff. Debemos quizá toda la reunión para una intervención con Jeff.
Intervention? Please wait til I sober up… so, like, 2014 or so?

The Children's Place has pulled a T-shirt from store shelves after backlash from parents who claimed it "dumbed down" girls.
The purple T-shirt had a checklist called "My Best Subjects" that included shopping, dancing, music and math.
Math was the only box not checked. The words "Well, nobody's perfect" were printed underneath.
The store's Facebook page was littered with comments from disgusted parents saying they will no longer spend money there, Atlanta TV station WGCL reported.
"Shame on The Children's Place. Shirts that proclaim girls' inabilities have no place in any child's closet. Looks like the company is having difficulty with the 21st Century," wrote Lara Trubowitz on the social media site.
Tracy Johnston Zager wrote, "Count me as another furious ex-customer. The anti-math girls' T-shirt is horrible. Please pull it and educate yourselves. We will not be back unless we see a serious change."
The Children's Store responded to the criticism Monday night by saying it was pulling the shirt from shelves and its website:
"We take feedback from our customers very seriously. It has come to our attention that some of you view our Best Subjects T shirt as insensitive towards girls and women. This was not our intent. There are countless women in all walks of life who excel in math, including our very own CEO. We have pulled this product from our stores and we want to express our apologies to anyone we may have offended."

Thad Curtz is maintaining a listserv for the Parking Expansion DTF. People who subscribe to the listserv will automatically receive meeting minutes and announcements via e-mail. Here are Thad's instructions on how to subscribe to the listserv:
If they are at a machine on campus, people can subscribe and unsubscribe through a web interface at http://news.evergreen.edu/cgi-bin/majordomo
From anywhere, they can subscribe by sending an e-mail saying: subscribe parking-dtf to firstname.lastname@example.com
If they are off campus when they send the e-mail, it needs to read: subscribe parking-dtf email@example.com
Unsubscribe works the same way, but using the word unsubscribe.< Return to the Parking Expansion DTF Home Page.
