WLAN Product Turns Handheld into Phone
August 06, 2001
Integrates with Cisco 802.11b networks, VoIP infrastructure

The product is integrated with Cisco's CallManager and is designed to be a component of Cisco's AVVID architecture, which integrates IP-based communications into a single infrastructure. VTGO uses Cisco's proprietary SCCP protocol to manage call control and is designed to work with Cisco's Aironet wireless 802.llb network technology.The end result is that, in a Cisco environment WLAN and VoIP environment, VTGO enables a Compaq iPAQ to connect to the Internet and work like a wireless phone, according to the company.

Mission Commander Bear
Dear world,
Today is the anniversary of the day man first walked on the moon in 1969! In honor of that, Mom gave me an astronaut Bear. Of course it got me to thinking how cool it must be to be an astronaut. So I looked into what it would take to become one. Well, I am a U.S. Citizen and I think I would do OK on a physical exam (maybe I need to diet a little more.). I would need to go to college and study math or science. I like both those subjects. Three years of experience - or get a doctorate. I would do the latter. Then 1000 hours of flying-- how fun would that be! The only problem is that I don't meet the height requirements. You have to be at least 64" tall. Bummer.
Love always,

Wut a cute astronawt bear yoo haz Bear. Dat look lyke a fun toy. Maybe yoo shud suggest an astronawt program fur dogs. Maybe dey hazznt thot uv dat! Yoo cud be da beary first dogtronawt!
ReplyDelete We think Pandafur and Minkiesmum have the right ideas! We heard about a dog named Laika who went into space a long time ago and it was a very sad story. Of course, the accommodations are much better now, but a lot of times it's more fun to get into a big box and just pretend!
We love you Bear! And we love your Bear toy, too. Lots of loud purring from the RainbowCats- AnonymousJuly 21, 2011 at 9:42 AM
Don't give up on the height requirement, Bear!!! If you stand on your back legs, you just might make it!! @NellieSpringer

Blaming the entirety of the PS3 fan base? No, I don't believe there's a consensus on that at all. To blame an entire group of people is, for obvious reasons, ridiculous. It's also silly to keep breaking up the community between 360 and PS3 fans, when a great deal of the community, myself included, owns and loves both consoles. To refer to the community as though it is divided into two does absolutely no good, and only creates an even larger gap.
The 360 section needs PS3 users just as PSU needs 360 users. Without one another, there really is very little debate to be had. Having a variety of opinions on the forum is what makes things interesting around here. It makes for some of the greatest debates this forum has ever seen, and provides an experience for our users that not many places can give. We are blessed with an array of highly knowledgable users concerning a variety of subjects about the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
The problem is not that we discuss both consoles here, or that one group is being oppressed and the other an advantage. I understand that sometimes, the way reports are handled may make it seem as though certain groups are being given an advantage, but I'm sure the staff will back me up in saying that if there is any "trend", it is merely a coincidence. The staff does not have an agenda to weed out certain groups of people by any means.
The problem here is that often times, certain users aren't mature enough to handle a debate. They start getting personal, and things get out of control and the staff is left with no reason but to intervene. We can't go pointing fingers at one another, as that's not going to solve the problem but instead make it worse.
At the end of the day, fixing the issue concerning newer users is something that can be fixed easily: think before you post! When you don't agree with someone, it is very simple to say "I don't agree with you, and here's why". Yet, some people decide to simply say "ahahahahaha you're an idiot, here's why". There's a big difference between those two responses. One encourages debate and rebuttal, the other drives the user off the forums. Simply changing the way we deal with these sorts of things will resolve these issues once and for all, and I'm sure more newly registered users would stick around.

why isn't there a Twitter / Facebook / google+ button so we can tweet threads & stories that we see on these forums? get with the times also good topics should be rewarded with a Hot Topic label to encourage people to post better threads.

You guys don't have a personality. And yes I'm speaking in general.
Being Constantly monitored by the staff because they don't seem to have a real life is just absolutely ridiculous ..
Or maybe I'm wrong. Who knows.
12-19-2011 #88
really? more traffic is the last thing we need?
think about it, if the button is there & I just press the button a few of my friends from other networks might see the link & like it & some of their friends might like it & so on
well it most not be good enough because I never noticed it lolLast edited by ONQ; 12-19-2011 at 01:52.

We moderate leniently and the users call us "pussies" and blame the inactivity on trolls. We moderate strictly and the users say they're afraid to post.
Besides, there are some very active forums with strict moderation (i.e. NeoGAF) and some very active forums with lenient moderation (bodybuilding.com). You can't say that one way always works.

I'm not sure what you're addressing here. I just gave examples of sites that are on each end of the moderation spectrum, which shows that sites can be successful with either strategy.
If you're saying that we should try being lenient ourselves: We were definitely more lenient before, as we gave out two warnings before infracting trolls. People complained that were weren't clamping down enough, so now we skip the warnings. We've never gone to the level of bodybuilding.com though, where users are allowed to call each other "phaggots" and what-not.Last edited by Ixion; 12-19-2011 at 05:07.

Too be honest, one of the reasons could be the lower price point of the systems now, new buyers don't need to justify as much as some of the veterans, sure no one admits to having to justify buying a system but in truth they were $#@!ing expensive so those who spent a lot more in the past may be more likely to want to stay and argue things and that in turn made them stay. New members could quite easily be new owners who spent little and have no need to argue anything so when they get argued against they just walk away rolling their eyes.
Another theory is how $#@!ing ANNOYING it is when grand equalisers ALWAYS come in when they are not wanted or needed and it's even worse when mods do it to intentionally derail threads and spam
On a slightly related note, rule enforcement doesn't seem consistent which could confuse new members, mods have preferences, that'll always be true just like any member but members should keep those preferenes to themselves unless it had a reason in a thread and this speaks even more so for mods, honestly it would be scary as hell for new members seeing how some things are moderated. One mod will give a warning over a matter other mods wouldn't touch and vice versa and this can get confusingif I am in the PS3 or 360 section I will NOT post about the competitor just to please people, if you want to know what I think about the competitor link me to a thread in the appropriate section
12-19-2011 #93
I know for myself i've been posting here less and less over the years because i just get tired of seeing the same members trying to tear down Sony and the PS3. I came here because i was enthusiastic about getting the PS3 and wanted to converse with fellow PS gamers that have been PS fans and gamers for over a decade. I never visited forums until this generation and when i came here i expected a much better experience but i find there are far more people here that seem to just want to put down anything PS related. Like PS fans are somehow wrong to enjoy their console of choice on a Playstation site. It makes no sense to me. If you clearly don't like the PS brand, then why post here? Only to put others down?
So as far as new members go. I would imagine it's a huge turn off to come to a PS centric site and see posters constantly bashing the PS3 and Sony for the most ridiculous $#@!. It just got old a long time ago and i thank the mods for keeping this place relatively under control or i wouldn't post here at all anymore but at the same time the way things are you feel like you always have to hold your tongue when some asshole comes along and bashes what you enjoy. So the solution to that is to just not get caught up in the bull$#@! and go on enjoying your games.
12-19-2011 #94
I agree with this. The climate in the PS3 section can be quite uninviting to prospective members I think. Most people want to come and share in their enthusiasm for Sony/PS3, the hassle and annoyance of 360 inclined posters trying tear it down, say why its $#@!, or say how MS are doing something better gets tiresome. I see it all the time here. Glancing at the last activity in the 360 section, its around 10-15 hours of inactivity, some prefer to be defacing Sony instead of sharing in their own enthusiasms. A lot of insecurity on this forum, imho. As much as a "fanboy" as some people label me here, I am glad to be among the ranks of those here who champion Sony for all their badassery and show some of these lurkers that there is a place for enthusiasm even amongst the constant hating and e-peen comparing.

But to be fair, what you call enthusiasm, a large amount call fanboyish behavior and is equally as much of a turn off as people who badmouth the PS3.
The problem isn't 360 fans, although most here would love to find that as a scapegoat, the problem is as I described in my 1st post. Rather than discussing things, people STILL cling to the stupid $#@!ing console war. Praise the PS3, fine... have at it. Praise the Wii, 360, whatever, we are a site for all of it. Just because we are a PS3 named site does not and never will make this site a fanboy site that will alienate anyone who wants a one stop forum for all their gaming news, like me. I joined this site in 2007 because I could get all my gaming news and discussion here. If it were a PS3 circle jerk, I would have left. That is why I did not actively participate in any other forum I joined. Only this one. PSU was unique in that way.
You bring up good points, but really you can just as easily swap console names in your paragraph and still be correct here. It simply is NOT 360 fans only causing hostile threads. The sooner people stop using that crutch and actually start using real debate practice here, we will be better off.Imagine something witty here

The PS3 fans wouldn't be causing any trouble if there were no 360 fans constantly baiting. 90% of PS3 threads there is a 360 fan posting stupid pointless baiting $#@! and of course there's always one person who takes it, then it escalates. Majority of arguments are started by 360 fans. Look at the 360 section, how many PS3 fans are posting bait in there? Now look at the PS3 section. Nuff said.

PS3 fans This. 360 fans that.
Jesus Christ, have some of you forgot that we are all gaming fans? It becomes a problem when there is just blind loyalty from both sides. I see PS3 fans bait 360 fans and vice versa. How about you just take a step back and look at it from another view. Everyone is as bad as each other. Or we could all just sing songs and praise Sony for everything they do, even when they don't deserve it.
As Cuguy said having this site open to all gamers has made this place what it is. It's nice being able to hear a for and against argument rather than just hearing the same people say the same positive things whilst not saying the bad things.
This is something that people with only one console always seem to forget. People with 2,3,4 or 5 different platforms are always going to have an opinion different subjects and it's quite hard to not compare things when you are able to do so.
Maybe multiconsole owners, myself included, should just go to a different forum where they can express multiple views and just leave this site for the PS3 only information. It'd get alot more boring around here though.
OT: I don't think this is the reason why new members aren't staying around. I personally think it's because this generation has been loosing a bit of steam

Because most newcomers are idiots, and I don't have the patience for them. Therefore I don't really make them feel welcome, and I don't plan to.
I view this forum as a clubhouse, not everyoine is allowed in.Trophy-licious!
12-19-2011 #100
And then we are back with Bligmerks post: Just because you own all three, doesn't mean you can $#@! allover one and it not be classed as trolling. Bottom line is, if you don't like PS3, or prefer an alternative console, then it makes no sense to join a PS centric site, there are other fan sites for other consoles.

In the very best houses, one will find a footman, a doorman, and a chainsaw butler.
"Jeeves, that tree over there, do you see it? I think it might be blocking the summer sun, what do you think?"
I think sir is quite right indeed. It'll only take me a moment with my Homelite 42cc 16-inch Gas Chain Saw.
"Good man."
"Ah, yes, there's Apollo's Chariot in all it's glory. Feel that vitamin D, eh?"
Sir, if you'll pardon me, I believe that fireplace of yours is could burn a bit brighter.
"Hmm, it is low, isn't it? Well, Jeeves, there's only one thing for it, eh, old boy?"
The wardrobe again, sir?
"Most assuredly. Sacrifices must be made. For the greater good!"
For the greater good, sir.
"Nice and toasty now, isn't it, Jeeves? Say, what's for lunch?"
Turkey, sir. Would you care to carve?
"Not I, Jeeves. Wouldn't be proper. A man of my standing? Best use the Homelite, I think."
Quite right, sir, quite right. Allow me.
"Jeeves, you enjoy your job, don't you? You and your Homelite 42cc 16-inch Gas Chain Saw would never... well, you'd never go to some other manor, would you?"
Oh, sir, how could you even ask me that? To be your chainsaw butler... it's a sacred trust, sir! I would no sooner leave you than I would cut your wooden bed in half!
"Fine man, fine, fine, fine man."
Indeed, sir.
"Mind you, it would be pretty cool to use that Homelite 38cc 16-inch Gas Chain Saw on the bed."
Indeed, sir. Shall I?
"Oh, let's. Let's!"

Whitney, Prime Suspect, Charlie's Angels, and Person of Interest: What Did You Think About Last Night's Debuts?
Did 'Whitney' live down to your expectations?
What'd you think of last night's new shows? After an endless stream of ads and promos, Whitney finally made its debut — its shrill, laborious debut. Prime Suspect, after considerably less promotion, also debuted, featuring Maria Bello's serious hats and some gritty police work. Charlie's Angels fell somewhere in between, combining both crime-solving and the tarting up of oneself. And then there was the high-concept Person of Interest, featuring a bearded, somnambulant Jim Caviezel and a twitchy, creepily omniscient Michael Emerson, still more or less channeling his Benjamin Linus character from Lost. Lowbrow comedies, highbrow dramas, and one attempted reboot: Is Prime Suspect worthy of the name? Is Whitney long for this Earth? Are Charlie's Angels heaven sent? And do you have any interest in Person of Interest?

Cloze, a cloud-based contact management tool, launched its public beta last night and announced $1.2 million in funding.
Cloze helps users manage their professional contacts by collecting information spread across various email accounts, social networks, and corporate tools into one, cohesive location. The product is targeted towards people whose careers are based on the strength of their connections, like those in sales, business development, marketing and PR.
"When I moved from the Bay Area to Boston, I had to essentially rebuild my professional network," said CEO Dan Foody. "Doing this makes you realize how important your network is, but also how fragile it is. The important people in your network still need care and feeding. Cloze brings people's most important relationships to the front of the line."
In addition to creating an online rolodex, Cloze provides context for each contact by providing relevant information and a 'relationship quality score' so users can get the most out of their connections. Users import contacts from their various accounts, which are then analyzed and rated. The scores help separate proven relationships from passive ones, highlight priority connections, and provide networking suggestions.
While tools like Linkedin and Gmail's Priority inbox facilitate contact management, the Cloze Score is intended to help users leverage their contacts to achieve maximum impact. For example, it not only tells you who can make an introduction, but who is the best person to make that introduction.
The funding — a seed round — was led by Greylock Partners, Kepha Partners, and NextView Ventures.
Cloze was founded in 2012 by Dan Foody and Alex Coté. It is based in Cambridge, Mass., and has around 10 employees.

Buuuut then I spied this narly oven-free Oatmeal-Waffle cookie recipe, sure to make your mouth water, over at smiles from mel. All you need are your run of the mill baking staples and a waffle iron (and we own two!)
[Aside from the mini chocolate chips, we were fully stocked in our pantry]
Sure it may look like a poor man's cookie dough...trust me...its a-ok.
We had trouble deciding on a primo iron temperature and after a few jabs, we got it down to the perfect toasty setting...
...and Chris could not keep his sticky fingers away from them.
I'm just saying.
[Pardon the low quality pictures....the itouch wasn't at its best in the heat either]

Things I liked: I have been hunting with the Talon 22 18' barrel for two weeks now and let me tell you this is my favorite air rifle to date. Out of the box was shooting JSB Jumbo 14.3 grain domed at 30 yards and keeping a dime size hole. Changed out my UTG scope with a Bushnell AR-223 for easier range adjustments and so far 14 squirrels and a Raccoon in the freezer, all head shots between 20 to 50 yards. This thing is a fantastic hunting rifle.
Things I would have changed: I would like to see some kind of catch when you close the breach to keep it secure but it really has not been a problem yet.. Some seem to dislike the safety but after a day of use, I have grown quite fond of it..
What others should know: The Talon has a smaller air valve so I am guessing this is why I get close to 200 shots per fill, I use the JSB 14.3 grain pellets at the 4 level on the power setting and because of the lighter pellets my crony is showing between 750 to 820 fps, I have not tried higher power settings yet only because I like the air fill to shot ratio's I am currently getting... 18" barrel will have less drag then the 24" barrel for the lesser power levels. Lastly, make sure you get a high scope mount, the mid size puts you a bit to low and makes it difficult to get low enough on the air tank to see comfortably...

Things I liked: one of the best air rifle.
Things I would have changed: need to add 1/2" on scope mount.

Things I liked: Great look and great feel. First day shooting, I shot 1 inch groups, second day I shot half inch groups at seventy five yards. I was shooting at a target placed on a bundle of 25 boxes. It went through twenty of them. Along with the accuracy, this thing has the power to match. Love that its made in the U.S.A. I also was using a center pointe AR scope using weaver 22 medium mounts. This gun is loud, sounds like a rim fire.
Things I would have changed: The shoulder stock is a bit uncomfortable, otherwise nothing.
What others should know: I used the hand pump. Also well built, not American built though. It takes an hour to pump. Watch online video to properly use the pump. It works well

I can power up 950 feet to 1100 as the SS Condor?
The Condor ss does have a larger valve on the tank producing more F.P.S. The Talon series uses a smaller valve. The Condor ss comes with an 18 inch barrel so the longer the barrel the more F.P.S. , a 24 inch barrel would produce more F.P.S. depending on which model is chosen.Installing a 24 inch barrel would mean the ss model would no longer be suppressed.
is the barrel 16mm diameter?
is dis air gun a smooth barrel or spirol bareel
Outside of barrel is smooth.
The barrels have rifling they are not smooth bore.
To fill your PCP gun:

About Making it Lovely
Making it Lovely is a design and lifestyle blog about living a stylish life and transforming the so-so.
I'm Nicole Balch (hello), and I started this blog in 2007 as my husband and I were moving into our first home. I intended for our families to be able to see what we were up to; I have a handyman background and a love of decorating, so I knew we'd be working on some fun projects. I was a stationery designer, online shop owner (Pink Loves Brown), and web designer at the time, but the blog grew quickly and soon took on a life of its own. In 2013, we sold our century-old bungalow and moved into an even older Victorian. I still write about my home (as I did in the beginning), but also about decorating and fashion, as well as my life as a wife, mother of three young children, and blogger turned breadwinner.
My Lovely Life List is a great way to get a sense of who I am. Hopes, dreams, and wishing I had the Thriller dance in my repertoire.
My work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV Magazine, The Chicago Tribune Magazine, Time Out Chicago, ReadyMade, Everyday with Rachael Ray, Ladies' Home Journal, and other publications. Making it Lovely was named one of the top 26 Design Blogs by Domino, one of the 50 World's Best Design Blogs by the London Times Online, and twice named one of the Top 50 Design Blogs for Moms by Babble.
I hope to one day be able to say that I've authored a book (it's on the list!), but I am proud to have been quoted or featured in the following: Grow Your Handmade Business, by Kari Chapin; Decorate, by Holly Becker and Joanna Copestick; and Young House Love by Sherry and John Petersik.
I have spoken multiple times at Alt Summit and delivered a keynote speech at BlogPodium. I have taught at Columbia College Chicago, as well as several courses online for Alt Summit and Blogging Your Way. I have written for Better Homes & Gardens, My Colortopia, The Interior Collective, and Babble.
This Website
Making it Lovely was designed and coded by me. I was the nerd in high school who programmed her graphing calculator for fun (I wrote functions to create art), and coded her first website back in the days of AOL and dial-up. I used to offer web design services as Smart & Lovely, but I'm no longer accepting clients. This site is based on the framework of Standard Theme and hosted by Liquid Web.
There are several advertising and sponsorship options, designed to fit a variety of businesses. Making it Lovely receives 400,000 page views from 125,000 unique visitors per month. In addition to direct traffic, Making it Lovely has sizable followings on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I am represented by Federated Media, but also work with brands and advertisers directly. Please contact me for more information.
Contact Me
You can email me at email@example.com, or if you'd like, you can also write to me the old-fashioned way. Making the trip to the post office is always more fun when there are nice letters waiting for me.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.39 / 5.00 6,621 ViewsAll right folks, the moral of this story is this: a guy is a hermit, because he doesn't like people. In fact, he downright hates people. Which is why he's a hermit. Because he's a hermit, he doesn't have any friends. But then here's this injured cat. He brings it home, feeds it, and is happy for the first time in a long, long time. He has a friend. But he leaves his cave, and while he's gone, wolves come and kill the cat, keeping the hermit from ever being happy.
You can interpet the shadows of the wolves as whatever you like...but they're wolves =P
It's irony, is what it is.
damn people like--- those mean people
those shadows made me think of the 'popular' people in this world. they don't take into account that other people have feelings and other senses as they do. .....just what i think.
I believe that this is your form of poetry. Apparently, there are a lot of people that are just like those shadows viewing this video. 1.99... the first 4 people and the person that reviewed just before me didn't understand it either. you gotta be on some higher level then most people.
keep it up, etc etc... other assorted forms of encuragement. (add a replay button please so it's easier to understand.)
way too short
It would have been incredibly good except for the length. Which made it pointless. Keep trying.
good movie
that was a good movie i really liked the creepy feel to it. but i kinda thought it was a bit too short and it didnt really have a point it wasnt made to be funny,show action, or invoke any thought in the viewer so i dont really see the point of watching a hermit bring a cat back to his cave only to have it killed 10 secounds later for no reason at all. the animation was good and the sound fit the movie but the movie nneds to be more than just there it needs to do something. good luck with future movies u have the capability to be greatr just use it to its full advantage.
kinda leaves you with that creepy after feeling.
i really enjoyed this movie. i felt it had a lonely almost desolate feel to it. Its as almost as if the hermit was truly meant to be alone. he interupted his fate by taking in the cat, so in the end the cat was killed. The only thing that might have lead the hermit to progress back into society, was diminished. Beautiful almost peaceful , i liked it .

About the Book
Lying at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the city of Granada in the Andalusian region of Spain is a favourite destination of mine. I love the contrast of the old and new parts of the city and I love that it is easy to move around on foot or by using the hop-on buses. History is everywhere, from the grandeur of the Alhambra to the Cathedral through to the twisting narrow alleyways and roads of the Albaicin. There are even people who live in cave houses in the Sacromonte district in the Valparaiso hills overlooking the city where you can witness flamenco being performed.
Then there are the views. During either the day or night, the vistas from various viewing points above the Albaicin across to the Alhambra or from the Alhambra down on to the city are magnificent and well worth the effort.
Then there is the food. Besides the typical Spanish tapas on offer, the blend of Arabic and Moorish culture makes for some interesting finds in the older parts of the city. In contrast to the modern shops of the city centre you can wander into the Kasbah district in only a few minutes where you will find glowing lamps, brightly coloured clothing, a multitude of teas and spices and some wonderful characters who will barter with you for your custom. All in all, Granada is one of those places that I plan to revisit in the future.

1/13/2011 [Drums]
Perfect Blend of Past and PresentANAHEIM, Calif. — Yamaha Drums introduces the Club Custom drum sets at Winter NAMM 2011, a set that combines classic and modern qualities. This new series, which features a stunning painted lacquer finish that allows the shells to vibrate, mixes a classic vintage-era tone with today's finest craftsmanship. The kits project well in live performance situations, cutting through amplified instruments, and their warm tone and fast decay provide enhanced articulation.
"Vintage drums are in demand these days by younger drummers looking for more 'organic' sounds and by experienced drummers seeking the sounds and looks that they got started with," said Dave Jewell, marketing manager, Yamaha Drums. "Our Club Customs have a warm, old-school tone combined with enough projection to cut through a wall of guitars along with rugged modern hardware to meet the demands of today's drummers."
Club Custom kits feature Kapur shells, an exotic tone wood exclusive to Yamaha, first used on the flagship PHX drum set. The painting technique, also exclusive to Yamaha, helps create finishes never before seen in lacquer.
Steve Jordan, drummer extraordinaire, who has performed with a long list of some of the biggest names in jazz and popular music, including Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen, helped design the kit's specifications and look.
"A few years ago, when I visited Japan, I requested that Yamaha create a drum set with these qualities and it's exciting to see this new Club Custom kit come out now," said Jordan.
For more information on the new Club Custom Drum Sets, visit Yamaha at Winter NAMM 2011 at the Anaheim Marriott, Marquis Ballroom; write Yamaha Corporation of America, P.O. Box 6600, Buena Park, CA 90622; telephone (714) 522-9011; e-mail email@example.com; visit www.yamaha.com/press.

In which I visit my sixteen year old self
18 comments:

Holly, this post is like stepping into a memoir, one I want to read. I clicked on you to find you are only about two hours from me. Sometimes, it feels like the blog world is so far away. This summer I met Emily W in Branson, and almost got to meet Kelli Woodford, and now I find out you are in Jefferson City. My world is shrinking just a bit. Blessings to you today.
ReplyDelete We would have totally been friends, Holly. I would have met you in that five-minute-break between classes, lighting up at the corner where the wind is cut by the side of the school building, or maybe we would've parked next to each other, your powder blue station wagon alongside my pickle-green subaru (where i knew the back seat better than the front, ahem).
And the boyfriends. And the music. And the Denny's -- oh, yes. we would definitely have become friends sooner, had our paths crossed over a grand slam breakfast. ;)
i think i love you even more now. (if that's possible.)- Emily WierengaJanuary 29, 2013 at 9:15 PM
well, i know for sure that i would like her. and i would want to be friends with her. i could have read a whole book of this kind of writing. beautifully done dear friend!
ReplyDelete Oh, Holly. Woman, this. is. so. good. I love reading your writing. I, too, could devour a whole book of this girl and grown-up you and all the ways they meet. Maybe -- besides sparks of recognition -- that's what I loved most here. It almost hurts how much I treasure this God-touched mingling of the two of you: I would tell her that all of the things that tug at her soul, that move her, are good and beautiful and worthy of being loved and that if she embraces that she will find that she is weaving beauty right round her.
ReplyDeleteHolly this side of your writing self is so beautifully woven. I love the way you story tell the truth and how you gently and honestly let her speak through you. This has got to be a great way of walking back and picking up pieces of a life. You shine with memoir as you shine with poetry. Love that you took this one, friend. And what a radiant way you tell of the days of your life then from your perspective now. Love to you.
ReplyDelete- pastordtJanuary 30, 2013 at 11:24 PM
Wow, what an interesting adolescence you had. I was so, so boring. SUCH a 'good girl.' If I were not getting ready to be gone for a week, I'd probably try to carve out the time to write this one - I loved the prompt. But man, it would be b o r i n g. :>)
ReplyDelete - stefanieJanuary 31, 2013 at 9:17 PM
Beautiful and touching....I remember that girl and yes she wasa good soul and friend to all thanks for taking me back in time :)
ReplyDelete Ashley, so very glad to "meet" you here. Where do you live? I am constantly amazed at how something as huge as the internet can actually bring people closer together. I love how this medium can be used to build community, despite distance. And I'm grateful for your kind words, here. This was a new venture for me, contemplating my younger self, but it was good to stretch my perspective and see what I could gain in the experience. Thank you, again, for visiting me in this space.
ReplyDeleteOh my dear Kelli, thank you for this. The picture you've painted is so palpable and it is almost enticing enough to make me want to go back, even if just for a day, join hands with our 16 yr old selves and walk confidently in the way of our dreams. And the fact that you "get me" well, it makes me love you even more, too.
I love how you described this: "the God-touched mingling of the two" That is such a perfect description of what I experienced in the writing of this and the one that brings such insight into the ways in which we grow and change over time. Hindsight can be such a powerful tool but I also love how it can spur us to turn around and look forward, hoping for better and deeper and richer experiences.
I love your voice here, your presence, YOU. Thank you for all the ways that you speak into my life. You are a gift, my friend.Boring? Are you kidding me? One doesn't have to be daring and rebellious to be interesting my friend. I would love to learn what was going on inside of that mind of yours. I am convinced that, even at sixteen, great insight and vision were swirling among the typical concerns of an adolescent girl and that, my friend, is something I would most definitely be interested in reading. Love you, at all your ages!
ReplyDelete- Ashley HauptFebruary 19, 2013 at 9:26 PM
Holly, I am in Buffalo, MO which is near Springfield. I think sometimes I feel like all these amazing people are "out there." And so it's somewhat surprising to find people so near. :)

Hypo-Mortgage Services Ltd v Robinson; CA (Nourse LJ, Sir John May) 7 Nov 1996.
Where a house was held on trust, the presence in the house of an infant beneficiary when it was mortgaged by a sole trustee did not support a claim that the mortgagee took subject to an overriding interest in favour of that beneficiary. Such a presence could not amount to "actual occupation" for the purpose of s 70(1)(g) of the Land Registration Act 1925 because an infant, even if not occupying in the shadow of a parent or other adult, lacked the legal capacity to consent to the transaction and to respond to relevant inquiries.
Jonathan H. Marks (Eversheds, Cardiff) for the plaintiff mortgagee; the defendant in person.
Customs & Excise Commrs v Bassimeh; CA (Evans, Henry, Aldous LJJ) 20 Nov 1996.
A penalty was assessed personally on a company director under s 14 of the Finance Act 1986 where the company's default over a four-year period was attributable to his dishonesty and the company had been assessed to a penalty under s 13 of the Finance Act 1985. The assessment and its notification to the director as a total sum not split into prescribed accounting periods were valid. All he needed to know was that the assessment on him, as opposed to the underlying assessment on the company, was properly made and notified to him. He did not need to know the details of the assessment on the company.
Rupert Baldry (Barry Philips & Co) for the director; Nigel Pleming QC (Customs & Excise).
Aspro Travel Ltd v Customs & Excise Commrs; QBD (Keene J) 22 Nov 1996.
Tour operators accounting for VAT under the Tour Operators' Margin Scheme, in Customs leaflet 709/5/88, were not permitted to elect retrospectively not to use the standard method of calculation provided by the scheme. Under the standard method, all supplies by third parties to the tour operator's customers were covered, wherever they were enjoyed but election might be made to account separately for supplies made to customers within the EC and those outside. Election to use the alternative method had to be made at the latest at the end of the taxpayer's financial year when adjusted accounts became due.

My grandfather turned 90 at the end of March. My grandma's 85th birthday was just 10 days later, so we had one big party for both. I didn't take very many pictures, between helping and taking a nap in the middle of the party. My grandparents are in the above photo with the family tree quilt I made for Grandpa. (You can't tell from this photo, but the portraits of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were stitched into the quilt.

How to handle the email mountain
Can outsourcing your email help you control costs? Merri Mack explores the options to tame your email.

spam and the compliance issues of storing the mass, let alone the loss of productivity caused by email.
A trend is emerging, especially for small to medium enterprises (SME) to outsource their email management. And it's not only incoming email that need scrutiny, outbound email also needs attention according to Proofpoint.
In its fifth annual study of outbound email and data loss prevention issues and the first to include Australia Proofpoint found that enterprises continue to incur risk from and take action against information leaks over outbound email, as well as newer communications media such as blogs, message boards, media sharing sites and mobile devices.
Outbound email remains a key source of risk for enterprises with 23% of surveyed Australian companies reporting that they investigated an email leak of confidential information in the past 12 months. This compares with a record 44% of US companies surveyed.
27% of the Australian companies surveyed reported that they employ staff to read or otherwise analyse the contents of outbound email (compared with 29% of US companies). 17% of Australian companies said they employ staff primarily or exclusively for this purpose (compared with 15% of US companies).
27% of Australian companies surveyed investigated an email-based violation of privacy or data protection regulations in the past 12 months (compared with 40% of US companies). Also, 20% of Australian companies surveyed terminated an employee for violating email policies in the last 12 months (compared with 26% of US companies).
Australian company, ISS Australia outsources email and web security to MessageLabs to increase security protection while maximising productivity at the lowest total cost of ownership.
ISS has outsourced its email and web protection to MessageLabs as part of its global drive to increase efficiency. Outsourcing has provided the scalability needed to keep up with ISS's rapid growth in Australia and New Zealand.
Elimination of a wasteful and risky spam problem and protection from new and emerging online threats have been critical to saving costs, improving productivity and increasing the return on investment for information technology.
"Under our previous managed email security service, some end users were still receiving up to 40 spam emails a day," said Roger Burgess, Group Technology Manager at ISS Facility Services Australia. "Since changing to MessageLabs, there has virtually been a 100 per cent reduction in spam, and we can ensure employees access only safe and appropriate web content."
Because MessageLabs intercepts spam, viruses and malicious code hidden in emails or on websites in real time, before they enter an organisation's network, it provides complete protection from email and web-borne attacks. Moreover, it delivers immediate savings by slashing the volume of data downloaded.
The Australian arm of IronPort Systems, a provider of enterprise spam, virus and spyware protection, and now part of Cisco, has been contracted to provide a highly available email hygiene solution to Eleven Systems for that company's newly established hosted email service.
Eleven Systems founder and CEO Biagio La Rosa's new company will address what he sees as a market need that is well served by major all-purpose IT vendors at the high end but relatively unaddressed at the SME level.
Biagio La Rosa said Eleven Systems will provide complete hosted IT infrastructures to companies which have seen the merit of outsourcing their entire computing and networking requirements in order to free themselves to concentrate on the core business. The infrastructure will initially deliver email hygiene – with optional email encryption – and email archive facilities.
The first element of Eleven Systems' hosted service is based on IronPort appliances for clean email. La Rosa says, "The IronPort solution is absolutely critical to this initiative. Companies looking to relieve themselves of the management of email tell us the IronPort solution is phenomenal. They tell us, 'Switch it on - spam stops. Just like that.'
"At only a modest cost," says La Rosa, "Companies can confidently leave the email management burden to us. They will no longer have to worry about viruses, spam or any other form of malware. The ongoing configuring, updating and maintaining of their secure email and web infrastructure will all be done for them. It will all be totally transparent to them."
He added that new and prospective users of the service were also attracted by its 'green' value – by not needing to add to their energy bills in order to enjoy email hygiene and security.

First came James Loney, a slick fielding first baseman signed as a free agent in December on the first day of baseball's winter meetings.
Two days later came shortstop Yunel Escobar, who has all the ingredients found in a Gold Glove fielder.
Then, a week before camp opened, the Rays finalized a one-year contract with Kelly Johnson, a second baseman by trade who also will see time at first base and left field and who brought his third baseman's glove to camp just in case.
Of the Rays' many goals during the offseason, one was to plug the holes in the infield. It appears they have accomplished the goal by bringing three players into the mix who should turn what was an uncharacteristic weakness in 2012 into a strength this season.
"I almost feel the infield was put together for a guy like me," pitcher Alex Cobb said. "A guy who puts the ball on the ground and sometimes gives up hard ground balls."
David Price and the other groundball pitchers on the staff also should be tickled.

French-Canadians aka Québécois speak french in a way that no outsider understands. It is a special communist coded language created to help Stalin defeat the US troops. It ressembles french a little, but the pronounciation is different, and some vocabulary is different. Here are some examples if you want to speak the Québécois language (pronounciation in parenthesis):
- They are very polite and often say "tabarnak" (ta-ber-nach), which means "thank you".
- When speaking in the second person, always use "tu" twice like in "tu veux tu".
- When meeting a girl, always say "crisse de plotte" (chris the plot) when leaving, which means you had a pleasant evening.
- You should always try to dress like a "chienne a jacques" (she-N-ah-jach).
- When asking someone if they speak english, just ask "etes-vous une tête carée?" (het-vuu--un--teet--ka-ray)

Subject | RE: ConstantScoreQuery and MatchAllDocsQuery |
Date | Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:35:01 GMT |
Hi, The existing code retrieved a TermPositionVector with IndexReader.getTermFreqVector(docId, field). It then extracted the terms for the query and stores them in two different array. One containing single word terms, the other containing the phrases. For single word term it loops on the array of term and increment the frequency this way: freq += tpv.getTermFrequencies()[tpv.indexOf(currentTerm.text())]; For the phrase it works the same way, but of course it searches for the entire set of terms in the correct order. Fast enough means that for the search query: on going for, if I have 3000 results which consists of document with an average of 1000 words it must be able to do it under 50ms on a dual Xeon machine. With the TermPositionVector my best results with no load on the server were around 3000ms. I am still an amateur with lucene, I have to migrate an application which used a customized version of lucene 1.3 to 2.1. I would really like to be able to use an unmodified version of lucene since it would be a lot easier to keep up to date with lucene. I'll give a try with TermDocs. Thanks -----Message d'origine----- De : Chris Hostetter [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Envoyé : February 23, 2007 7:18 PM À : Lucene Users Objet : Re: ConstantScoreQuery and MatchAllDocsQuery : I ask this because I need to return the frequency of the search terms : with each of my results, I tried using the TermFreqVector object but : unfortunately it was not fast enough, so I decided to modifiy lucene to : be able to return the frequency the same way the score is returned by : org.apache.lucene.search.Hits. ... : I started by adding public abstract int freq(); in package : org.apache.lucene.search.Scorerabstract class, and then modified : everyimplementation of Scorer to be able to get the frequency. can you elaborate on: * how you were trying to use TermFreqVector * how you define "fast enough" * how you are now getting the freq() value in all of the Scorer classes? If all you need to know is the frequency of each term in your query (and not hte frequency of all terms in teh document) did you try using the freq() method in the TermDocs iterator instead of the TermFreqVector class? using Query.extractTerms, and then getting a TermDocs instance and iterating over those terms using seek and over the docids from your results using skipTo should be an extremely fast way to get the freq() info. : It works well and fast, the only problem I have is that I did not find a : way to compute the frequency in both ConstantScoreQuery.java and : MatchAllDocsQuery.java internal scorers. neither of those queries involve any terms, so i'm not sure what freq() would even make sense ... "1" or "0" i would imagine. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com | |

Going bald means you have less hair to contrast with your skin. If you're feeling a little self-conscious about the glare up there, Phillip Paoletta at Effortless Gent recommends you dress in a way that complements what people see. Wear colors that match your eye color so people are drawn to them instead of your scalp, and create some contrast with your skin tone. If you have a darker skin tone, wear lighter-colored clothes, and if you have a lighter skin tone, wear darker-colored clothes.

The Rubik's Perpetual Calendar Cube was produced in the early 1980s, when Rubik-mania gripped the world.
The cube is physically identical to a standard Rubik's Cube, with the exception of the stickers. Instead of the familiar coloured squares, the faces are adorned with letters and numbers. By twisting and turning, the cube can be made to present a perpetual calendar on one face.
One sticker is marked "day" and is present for every daily solution. Other stickers are marked "Mon", "Tues", and so on, to make the days of the week. The month is spelled out in three large letters across the middle, and the bottom right two squares can be made to show the day of the month.
It's quite easy to solve the cube for any given day. Compared to the standard, coloured cube, the letters and numbers present the additional complication of requiring the correct orientation, but, crucially, only a single face needs to be solved.
The Rubik's Calendar is no longer available to buy new, but you can buy a set of stickers and convert an existing cube. I got my stickers (complete with layout instructions) from a company called Cubesmith. Applying them took some time (there are 54 of the little blighters), but was straightforward. The most fiddly part was removing the original coloured stickers; Cubesmith also sold me a useful scraping tool to help with this.
My Rubik's Calendar is one of my favourite possessions, and sits proudly on my desk, the envy of my co-workers. I love the technical elegance of the Rubik's Cube mechanism, and I love how it's an absurdly complicated, but perfectly functional, desktop calendar.
