Hey all,
a while back we had 2 great posts and one page about visual studio shortcuts. The first one had a list of 10 Visual Studio Shortcuts and the second one had 11 Visual Studio Shortcuts. We also have a Visual Studio CheatSheet with all the Keyboard shortcuts Visual Studio has.
Here is another list of 5 Shortcuts I have picked up along the way.
That's all for now, on my next post I will show some CodeRush Express Shortcuts.

Unfortunately on my laptop Ctrl+Alt+Dwn turns the screen upside down!
Said on April 23, 2009 :
Ctrl+. must be THE top shortcut one must find out with VS. However, there is so much that can be customized in VS for shortcuts AND menus. Exploring the keyboard options (open it via Tools->Customize->Keyboard) is higly recommended. Sometimes the most difficult part is to find out the name of the command. Like the Window.Autohide command. It pins or unpins the selected tool window. I really disliked mousing to hit that small push-pin button all the time, so I have it mapped under Ctrl+`, and am happy. So, if you are a keyboard-oriented shortcut person, I would like to say: you do not depend only on what VS offers; you have the power to mold the tool to your own, personal, perfect fit.
(Oh, on the same point: I remapped F1 to close the current document :-), never use that help so much anyway. )

If you can make a beautiful cake that is coordinated to your subject's tastes, than you can create a cake that will leave an everlasting impression upon everyone that will never be forgotten. The above story is just one example of how one must keep a mind upon the subject's personality. The subsequent result was a cake design that everybody at the party loved, including the child's parents!
Instead, I had discovered what the child really was interested in, and based a cake design on that interest. As such, my subject was not interested in, and
did not care for, this popular character. The reason was that this character was for children of a much higher age group. It was my intention to make a cake based upon a popular cartoon character, but this ended up being a bad idea.
Let's do a comparison: I have a two year old with a birthday that is soon arriving, and I need to make a cake for this young person. All of these ideas come back to a simple point: Make a cake based upon the subject's hobbies or interests. How about an work-related cake? Is it a business colleague's party? Than, maybe they would like a cake decorated as a racing car!
Is it a child's birthday? That is, who is your guest of honor, and what are their interests? First of all, before you begin baking your birthday cake you should ask yourself: What does my recipient like?

Alright that's what we need to shut up the cowd. Now time for Bledsoe to throw a long one to TO, that'll really quiet this crowd.
We need to keep doing what we're doing, just not disrespect their blitzs and go into a 5 receiver set.
Bledsoe with the old Danny White Special....Danny used to do that about 5 times a season , especially v Washington must be that number 11.
Both QB's play well enough to "just" lose - eerily similiar.
Mcbriar took a shot and looks like he is still shaking up a bit. If he can't go, who is the backup punter??
lets go o!

Stilelock click tiles
Has anyone used Stilelock ceramic tiles? They are made by American Olean and are actual ceramic that have a click and lock system with built-in grout lines. No grouting or anything else that goes along with regular tile floor installation. A floating floor. We came across it at our local Surplus Warehouse (national chain). They said they had just gotten it in. Looking online I noticed lowes used to sale it but it is no longer available. We really like the idea of ceramic tile without all the mess in our entryway. I was hoping I could get some comments, whether good or bad, from people who have actually used it. Thanks in advance.
did you google online for reviews of this flooring? try to find a non company associated site for the reviews.
I did google reviews and found a few, but not a whole lot. I was hoping to find some more info on them.
Stilelock Tiles
Hi. We used them in our bathroom and we love them! We did a small bathroom, 7x7, in less than an hour. We are now making plans for our kitchen floor. We also got it at Surplus Warehouse. I love that place!

My Power Steering Pump was making a groaning noise at slow speeds and when you hit wheel locks, Fluid was new and full so I decided to replace the pump, Made some rookie mistakes so I will post the process to help others. I will show how to replace the pump in 20 easy steps I didn't do all the flushing that you could do to replace the fluid, I periodically freshen the fluid by siphoining the resovoir and filling it with fresh fluid so I wasnt worried about alot of old fulid, If you want to research how to change all the fluid you can do that at this point.
Total time was 4 hours, Thier was one nut though that took me atleast 1 hour to remove due to a stupid mistake, aswell as forgeting orings which made me have to partially pull the new pump, omit those errors and your looking at just under 3 hours
- Siphon or somehow remove the majority of the PS Fluid from the reservoir into a container
- Now remove the battery, Its tempting to just unplug the neg terminal and leave it in, However you will most likely have to remove the entire battery from the car at some point for clearences, so you may aswell do it now
- Use a breaker bar to release the tensioner, slip the belt off the power steering pump The PS pump is the one directly next the the fluid reservoir at the top of the engine, If your careful you can keep the belt on all the other pulleys to make re-installation easier.
- No matter how tempting it looks to unscrew the 2 mounting bolts on the pump at this point stop You will need the pump secure while you unhook everything else
- Get a pulley puller from a parts store, most have it for loan, Make sure it will work for PS Pumps, Should look like an assortment of screws, Dont get one that clips around the pulley. Scrool down for some tips on the tool*.
- Remove the Pulley
- Now thier are 2 hoses to unhook, You can see the one that comes out of the bottom, Get a wrench on it and turn toward the firewall to loosen, I first turned it toward the front and almost broke it The lefty loosy doesnt apply here if you are looking at the pump in front of you, You have to reverse it.
- Once you get that metal line off your almost home. It may leak some fluid so be prepared.
- Now you can remove the 2 bolts that hold the pump to the bracket as normal
- The pump should be loose now, Wiggle the pump around and it should pull away, It will be connected to a nipple, thier is no mechanical fasteners holding it on thier, just pulls off with gentle pressure.
- Once the old pump is clear from the car you have a few options, One thing you have to do is put the orings from the old pump (or new ones) into the new pump. I forgot to install them my first time and it made a nice little mess when I started the car Their are only o-rings on the non mechanical connection, none on the metal hose.
- You can use the tool to install the pulley when it is out of the car, I choose to do the pulley install last while on the car. Depending on how good you can access the bottom hose should determine when you attach the pulley, I had a hard time reaching it so I wanted to get it installed with the pulley out of the way. If you install the pulley off the car then you will also have to screw the bolts in through the holes in the pulley which is not that big of a deal really.
- Making sure you have o-rings slip the new pump on to the nipple and then feed the bolts through the pump into the bracket and tighten them down. They will not line up unless the pump is pressed all the way over the nipple.
- Now screw the bottom hose into the new pump and tighten the nut, remember how easy this part is will be determined by when you choose to put the pulley on.
- Make sure all conections and both bolts are tight, If you havent already install the pulley.
- Use the breaker bar to open the tensioner and slip the belt over the pump. Almost done
- Reinstall the battery
- Refill the resovior with new fluid until it reaches the cold mark, Start the car and look for leaks, If you forgot o-rings their will be a big one
- Run the car a minute and turn the wheels, If you bled all the old fluid out of the lines I would lift the front end to take the pressure off the pump. Since I only emptied the resovior I didnt lift it, However you do it though make sure the pump never runs dry.
- Road test it and see how it works, monitor the fluid level over the next few days as it could drop depending on how much air was in the system.
Should be good to go now.
* The puller should have instructions, but they can be tricky so I will try to explain the procedure that mine used, Depending on the kit it may be different
Spin the hex nut to the far end of the screw, Take the 2 collars and put them around the hex nut and into the groves of the pulley, slide the little ring over it then tighten the screw by hand until it bottoms out. Now take a wrench and fit it over the hex nut, Use a long wrench that reaches the front frame of the car to keep the pulley from spinning. Take a 5/8 socket and slip it over the end of the puller and start tightning it, if the wrench on the hex nut is right it will wedge up to the frame so you have plenty of leverage on the socket, Keep tightning the screw and it will push the pulley away from the bracket until it comes off.
I dont remember exactly how I installed it, Had someone helping me who did this part, You have to use the installer tool though, Basically find the right diameter screw and put the washer on it and then start tightning.

My 'starter-for-ten'...
Have a good visual check that everything looks to be right; check that there aren't isn't remaining debris from cutting, welding , etc. (This should have been done by the supplier/installer but always worth assuring yourself!).
Our next step for new plant was to check for grease as machining compounds are often mineral-based. These show up with u/v light so a few cotton swabs wiped on surfaces and in any corners is all it takes.
If the plant is all assembled a run through with water will find any joints that need tightening and allow you to check that valves, etc. operate as they should.
Externally clean down with hot water, again look for signs of grease/oils which will shown up as areas where water forms beads rather than runs off cleanly.
Following that a good caustic clean, then rinse and you should be ready to brew!

In its latest effort to support the Merrill community, the Good Samaritan Health Center Employee Advised Fund has awarded $5100 to support area organizations.
Launched in January of 2007 the Employee Advised Fund was created for hospital employees that were seeking assistance with local fundraising events and support for the community.
Agencies that received funding in the latest funding allocations include:
"Once again our employees have shown tremendous support for our community," said Kathy Brecke, Good Samaritan Foundation/community outreach director. "The employee advised fund participants not only dedicate themselves to their jobs everyday but go above and beyond with their contributions to support these agencies."
The Good Samaritan Employee Advised Fund is directed by a committee of up to 12 employees who participate on a voluntary basis. Together, they review local causes and allocate these funds and matching Foundation funds to local causes linked close to those who share the same values as Ministry Health Care.

A shortage of cucumber, lamb and turkey has hit Subway stores from Kaitaia to Invercargill.
A sign at Auckland's Queen St store said: "Due to the critical supply issue with cucumber we need to reduce the amount of cucumber on sandwiches for a limited time."
At Subway Eden Quarter in Mt Eden, a notice said: "We are currently out of stock of our turkey and roast lamb products due to unforseen circumstances until further notice."
Subway marketing manager David Herrick said there was a seasonal shortage of cucumbers because of cold growing conditions, which led Subway to look at sourcing them from Australia.
"But what's happened in Australia is that all the growing fields there were hit by serious flooding a couple of months ago. Therefore they can't supply us," said Mr Herrick.
Subway management has told stores nationwide to use less cucumber until supplies are restored.
Six-inch subs will now get two slices of cucumber instead of three, and foot-longs will get four instead of six.
Subway Britomart acting store manager Uma Nam said: "We order cucumbers from one place and we are not getting stock from them."
Mr Herrick added: "We expect it to be resolved next week."
Sally Shen, duty manager of Subway Eden Quarter, said although she had a small amount of cucumber, there was no turkey or lamb in stock.
Subway management did not return the Herald's calls regarding the "unforseen circumstances".

S&P Cuts Reader's Digest Rating to Junk Status
On Mar. 22, Standard & Poor's lowered its credit rating on Reader's Digest Association (RDA ) to BB+, below investment grade status, from BBB-, following the company's agreement to acquire the assets of Reiman Publications LLC for $760 million in cash.
Reader's Digest Association, based in Pleasantville, NY, publishes one of the world's highest-circulating paid magazines and is a leading direct marketer of books, videos, and music. Total debt as of Dec. 31, 2001, was $216 million.
Standard & Poor's analyst Hal Diamond believes the purchase provides a good strategic fit and complements Reader's Digest's position in the highly-competitive magazine publishing and direct marketing industries. Potential operating synergies and cost saving opportunities have the potential to increase profitability and cash flow generation over the near term.
Over the long term, though, Standard & Poor's believes there are questions as to its growth prospects. The Reiman transaction would be the largest purchase in Reader's Digest's history, reflecting a shift from more moderate financial policies. The deal increases financial risk at a time when the profitability of the core U.S. magazine and books and home entertainment (BHE) businesses are weak, Diamond says.
The addition of Reiman improves operating and cash flow diversity. Reiman publishes 12 magazines oriented to the rural market, which rely on stable subscriptions for the about 95% of magazine revenue. Reiman has also leveraged its subscriber base through the publication and direct marketing of high-margin books that borrow content from its magazines. Over the near-term, Reiman can benefit from Reader's Digest's expertise in international distribution, newsstand and advertising sales. Reader's Digest can profit from Reiman's non-sweepstakes promotional expertise, content, and customer list.
However, in Standard & Poor's view, the demographic and lifestyle trends of the rural population may not offer significant long-term growth potential. Reader's Digest's core U.S. magazine and BHE direct marketing businesses, accounting for half of fiscal 2001 revenues, are underperfoming. Overall EBITDA declined 37% over the last three quarters ended Dec. 31, 2000, due to lower magazine advertising demand and increased testing of new subscription sources.
In addition, BHE profitability fell due to lower response rates resulting from the implementation of the 2000 multistate legal settlement on sweepstakes marketing. Reader's Digest's QSP (youth magazine subscription) and Books are Fun (school book fairs) subsidiaries and international operations provide some operating and geographic diversity.
The debt-financed transaction results in an increase in financial risk and lower pro forma interest coverages. EBITDA coverage of gross interest expense declines to a pro forma level of 4.3 times for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2001, from an actual level of about 10.0 times.
Standard Poor's expects acquisitions and share repurchases to remain minimal over the near term due to heightened debt levels and the company's operating challenges. Standard & Poor's also expects that Reader's Digest will use the majority of its free cash flow to reduce debt levels to restore flexibility.

Kaiju. It's a word that is usually only recognizable to the diehard monster geeks among us here in the States. Though many Americans often think of the term as meaning "giant monster", it's literal translation is closer to "strange creature". The word is not a new one. It's been around for rather some time. The world's most famous Kaiju would of course being Godzilla, the king of the monsters, himself.
Up until recently, zombies have dominated American pop culture and while the hungry dead are still popular, the Kaiju genre is certainly making a profound resurgence. This started, I think, with Pacific Rim. While the studio that produced Pacific Rim may have written it off as moderatly successful film instead of the giant, no pun intended, blockbuster they hoped for, the movie has spawned a widely diverse and large fan following. The toyline based on the movie is a smash hit with collectors, often demanding insane prices for those who wish to have an 18 inch tall Gipsy Danger on display in their homes. Pacific Rim's success has also spawned a graphic novel set in the world of the film, a coffee table book, a Heroclix style minature game, and even a greatly enjoyable video game. There's even, I believe, a cell phone commerical now that features footage of the Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, battling a Kaiju.
And following now on the heels of Pacific Rim, we have an American modernization of Godzilla that just hit the big screen. However, the Kaiju genre is just making a comeback in terms of film. There are numerous Kaiju novels and collections of Kaiju ficiton popping up in the world of literature as well. I'll confess, being a hardcore Pacific Rim fan myself, I, too, jumped on this band wagon. I have a new book out from Severed Press, co-authored by Jason Cordova, entitled Kaiju Apocalyse. Its premise is simple. There was a great ecological diaster that flooded the world of man and awoke the Kaiju slumbering in Earth's oceans. In Kaiju Apocalypse, mankind's only hope is its technological supremacy over the giant creatures. Humanity makes it final stand against the Kaiju in domed, island city states as the Kaiju War threatens to end human life on Earth.
While I don't expect Kaiju to replace zombies in the hearts of Americans everywhere, it is clear that fiction and films about giant monsters are once more on the rise. I know I personally hope that Pacific Rim II will get the greenlight and be produced in the near future but my inner geek also hopes that if Godzilla is successful enough that we might even see an Amercian remake of Rodan.

A masters refers to the completion of a graduate study program that prepares students to further their knowledge of a specific subject or advance their careers. The majority of masters are granted by state or public universities.
Accounting is often referred to as the "language of business." It is a process which measures a business or organization's financial and economic activity. There are various organizations within the field of accounting that assist with this process. Some of these groups may include standard-setters, professional bodies, and accounting firms.
Dealing with public universities is far from an optimal option. Private schools provide much better assistance in your distance learning experience. Several online university draws teachers and students at great distances from all over the world. This vastly increases the diversity in a distance learning classroom and produces challenging conversation among those from hugely divergent communities, regions, and distant cultures.

The need to be perfect , to make things that look exactly like the model is not an easy one to over come with some kids. My son is one of those kids. I have from a very early age said things like " Make it how you want." " Paint whatever you want." etc... but what he wanted was for it to be exactly what he imagined in his head. He has a natural tendency towards perfectionism and his meltdowns when things weren't perfect even made me question and put a pause of crafts for a while. I was worried all the creating was making it worse , so instead we did pretend play, but then his costumes needed to be perfect, or played ball outside and then the catch needed to be perfect... finally it was art that helped him conquer this need ( at least somewhat).
Since he was little he would grab my art books and we'd pour over the paintings and he learned early on what "Abstract" meant. He even would tell his teachers " I just want to draw abstract." when they'd ask him to draw something and he was afraid it wouldn't be perfect. No amount of coaxing for him to try would work until a few days ago when he reached for the art books again.
In the book we saw Klimt drawing a portrait of a woman and my 4 year old could see that the artist's rendition wasn't what he'd call "perfect." Something clicked. I asked him if he wanted to draw a picture of something. He wanted to draw fire trucks, so we grabbed his lunch box for him to use as a model. I was amazed by the change in him, my heart feels lighter and he's happy doing something quiet while I tend to his sister .
Does your child battle perfectionism?

PROJECT LEADER(S): Mark Clough, Bill Jester and Craig Yencho
Potatoes in eastern North Carolina are currently grown to meet the needs of two very important spring potato markets. The first is the chipping industry that comprises roughly 60% of NC's crop. The other is the tablestock market comprised of round white and red skinned tablestock potatoes. Within the tablestock market there exists a demand for gourmet or novelty potatoes to serve not only restaurants, but the individual consumer as well.
Currently, we have identified one clone, designated B1816-5, a purple-skinned, yellow-fleshed potato bred by Dr. Kathy Haynes, USDA-ARS, Beltsville, MD, that may have potential in NC. We have already spoken to Dr. Haynes regarding our desire to further evaluate and possibly release this clone in NC and she is amenable to the idea. It is now in tissue culture at Cornell University's Uihlein farm for the express purpose of increasing seed stocks. This clone was demonstrated at the 2002 and 2003 SCP Field Day at the Cunningham Research Station, and was very well-received. It appears to be well adapted to NC's environment in that it yields well, is attractive and is very tasty. It is our desire to evaluate the market potential of this clone as well as to test others that may have potential as gourmet or specialty-type potatoes. The skin and flesh color of B1816-5 have a particular attraction to some in eastern NC (e.g. alumni of East Carolina University whose school colors are purple and gold) and we believe that with appropriate advertising this new variety could be readily marketed to restaurant chefs and/or those who would typically buy the higher priced gourmet potatoes. The increased nutritional content of yellow fleshed potatoes (they provide over 40% of the RDA of vitamin C) and the fact that most yellow-fleshed potatoes contain higher levels of lutein, a carotenoid plant pigment that has been shown to reduce the risk of macular degeneration and is thought to reduce the risk of heart disease, can be used to enhance their marketability.
Three variety trials were conducted to evaluate and compare B1816-5with other released and experimental cultivars. The Tull Hill Farms and the Northeast Regional NE-1014 Potato Variety Development Project Red Trial (NE-RD) were composed of red and purple varieties with 13 and 12 clones, respectively. The James Brother's trial included red, white and purple cultivars and consisted of 23 clones; 15 white, 6 red and 2 purple. All trials were planted in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Plots consisted of one row with 28 hills spaced 9 inches apart. Spacing between rows was 38 inches at all sites, with the exception of the James Brother's Trial, which was on 40 inch row spacing.
The on-farm trials were dug using a single-row digger and hand harvested. The NE-RD was harvested using a two-row harvester modified to dig one row at a time. Both grower trials were graded using a portable Lockwood Grader which sorts to two grades: A+B's &ge' 1 7/8"; and C's < 1 7/8". The NE-RD was graded to five classes: 1's < 1 7/8"; 2's > 1 7/8 to 2 1/2"; 3's > 2 1/2 to 3 1/4"; 4's > 3 1/4 to 4"; 5's > 4" using the potato grader at the TRS. Culls were removed and weighed separately in all trials. Each clone was evaluated for tuber quality and appearance during grading using standardized NE-1014 rating codes. A description of the rating codes is provided in Appendix 1.
James Brother's Variety Trial (Tables 1a and 1b)
The standard red, Chieftain, had a marketable yield of 202 cwt/A. Three clones (Cherry Red, 214 cwt/A; NY129, 209 cwt/A; and Yukon Gold, 204 cwt/A) had greater marketable yields though none were significant. B1816-5 had a marketable yield of 82% and Michigan Purple was 86% of Chieftain. In terms of appearance NorDonna had the best overall appearance at 7 or good. B1816-5 had an overall appearance score of 5 or fair, which was somewhat unusual as this clone generally looks better. Michigan Purple had a rating of 4 due largely to lots of skinning and the presence of scab, common problems observed in this clone. B1816-5 had no internal defects and culls were due in most part to growth cracks and misshapes. Michigan Purple had 3% soft rot but no other internal problems.
Tull Hill Farms Red Variety Trial (Tables 2a and 2b)
NE-1014 Red Variety Trial. (Tables 3a and 3b)
B1816-5 (fig. 1) has an attractive dark purple skin and yellow flesh. Its susceptibility to silver scurf caused the overall appearance score to be lower than what it might have been if the seed were treated with a fungicide at planting, which was not routinely done. Silver Scurf is a fungal pathogen on the surface of the potato that does not affect internal quality. Also, it is increasingly noticeable the longer a potato is held in storage. We submitted this clone to Melissa's for culinary testing and because of the silver scurf they stated it would not meet their needs as this pathogen detracts considerably from external appearance. Acknowledging this, we will continue to test this clone though we will need to treat some seed in a plot setup specifically for marketing, or work with a grower who would be willing to treat the seed. Currently, we have 150 lbs of seed that we intend to designate for this purpose. We will submit new samples to Melissa's in 2004.
Michigan Purple (fig.2)) was also included in each of the trials. It is a high yielding purple skin, white flesh potato. We consistently rate this clone with a low appearance score but this is largely due to excessive skinning and its high susceptibility to scab. Growers (organic and conventional) who take special precautions to minimize skinning and do not have scab problems, and/or home gardeners who hand harvest potatoes might be the appropriate market for this unique potato in NC as it is flavorful, and its smooth light purple skin and white flesh are very attractive.
Other purple clones included in the Tull Hill Farms trial are still relatively new to our program and we have requested them again for further testing in 2004 from the USDA-ARS breeding program.
The likely markets for these potatoes are restaurants, grocery stores, road-side stands and individuals desiring a gourmet potato. The unique attributes of B1816-5, coupled with its excellent culinary qualities make this an especially attractive specialty-type potato. Also, because of its purple and gold skin and flesh colors, it has the added advantage of having a fan-based market in eastern NC for East Carolina University as this potato matches ECU's school colors. Based on NC's already strong and viable potato industry, we envision that certain grower's could become a supplier to the spring specialty-type potato market for parts of the East Coast.

MC Hammer Arrested: Rapper Posts Bail on Obstruction Charges, Complains About Arrest
MC Hammer was arrested yesterday (Feb. 22) for obstructing an officer, TMZ reports.
According to the site, he was booked and released from Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, Calif. after he allegedly obstructed an officer in the performance of their duties and resisted arrest.
But, Hammer tells a different story of what really happened — tweeting today that the incident seemed more like racial profiling.
Read his account below.
He writes, "chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said'"Are you on parole or probation? While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet. .. It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!! But make no mistake he's dangerous .. only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge. I was citied for obstruction smh … You have to know me to understand I was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me .. I had just left the weight room … I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy !!! Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a "teachable moment" and "eye opener" for my many friends & colleagues."
Hammer added that he's more worried about what happened at the station.
"My biggest concern ? What was it that they injected into my arm under the guise of a "Skin Test"? #SantaRita #Tuskegee," he tweeted.
Hammer was also upset because he was on his way to San Quentin Friday morning to "congratulate a group of inmates in "The Last Mile."
No other info was readily available.

In Defense of the 'Hot Jewish Women' List
In her post on Complex.com's year-end list of the 50 hottest Jewish women, Naomi Zeveloff warns against the persistent lust-ridden fascination with Jewish women.
Me, on the other hand — well, I am still kind of digging it.
Are men's magazines crude and often misogynistic? Yep. Are ethnic fetishes, as Zeveloff point out, incredibly reductive? Of course. But still, I see a silver lining here.
Instead of Jewish women, broadly speaking, adapting to notions of what is hot — blond, demure, coquettish — men, as represented by these mainstream publications, have adapted to us — brunette, opinionated, funny. And I am well-aware that I am speaking in stereotypes here, but considering how much we still trade in stereotypes I believe it is sometimes worthwhile to consider how they function and evolve instead of just outright rejecting them.
The Complex list contains the usual suspects like Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Weisz, and Mila Kunis along with funny ladies Kat Dennings, Sarah Silverman and Lizzy Caplan, and singers Regina Spektor and Jenny Lewis. When I see these big-mouthed ladies on a list of desirable women, it makes me think that the once much-detested "overbearing" Jewish woman has now become the much-desired "overbearing" Jewish woman. I view this as progress, albeit a warped one, by the world's men who no longer seem to be scared — or worse, repulsed — by strong-willed women.
Would the world be better without these types of lists? Probably. But as long as they are around, I am glad that women of substance now make the cut.

Who says that bundles upon bundles has to consist of your most unfashionable and bulky clothes? No one! While cold weather can definitely put a damper on your favorite outfits, you can still dress fabulously while being appropriate for the winter weather. After a snow day and chilling winds, this Fashionista faced the cold in a chic and fashionable way.
This Fashionista braved the cold weather with a variety of textures within her look. A chic combo of fur, leather, animal skin and wool, she stayed warm by layering and mixing things up. Beginning on the bottom layer with her white sweater, this Fashionista dresses up the look with a pair of leather leggings and Jeffrey Campbell-style boots. She then takes it up a notch with her furry jacket and animal skin textured tote, pulling in more materials. This Fashionista tops off the look with an assortment of accessories, including her leather gloves and cat eye shades.
While it's such a pain to walk through campus in the cold, this Fashionista survives, thanks to her fabulously warm accessories. Starting with her zipper-detail leather gloves, this Fashionista uses the textures she has in the look and adds on. Her black and silver scarf pairs beautifully next to her jacket, adding in a little pop of a different color on the almost all-black ensemble. Bulky jewelry tends to get annoying and caught on all of your extra accessories when you're dressing for cold weather, so this Fashionista keeps it simple with little pearl earrings. She covers up her ears from the cold with a little tan, wool beanie to match her hidden sweater and works a pair of to-die-for sunglasses.
Cold weather can truly hinder your style and I totally understand the need to be warm and cozy on your walk to class. Take a note from this Fashionista and warm up with your accessories and different textures! All you need is a scarf, gloves, a hat and some leather with fur trim. Stay warm!
One Simple Change: This Fashionista's look is also perfect for a Girl's Night Out! Ditch the sweater and hat for a sexy backless blouse, keep the fur coat and tote; scarf is optional. Your ladies will appreciate your efforts to stay warm!

Big Boss 5: Evicted Mahek Chahal to win the show?
Celebrating Indian Cinema- 2011
It is known to all that Mahek is Salman's favourite contestant. In fact it is with Salman's backing that Mahek is once again re-entering the Big Boss house, posing a threat to other contestants. There were rumours that the Big Boss show is pre-planned and the main conspirator is Salman Khan and the producers.
If we remember Shakti Kapoor and Pooja Bedi's allegations against Salman-Mahek relationship, it had clearly indicated that Mahek might just win the show due to her strong backings. Though it is predicted that Juhi Parmar might win the show, Mahek's sudden wild card entry might shatter Ms Parmar's dream to become the winner of the season.
Moreover, Mahek is definitely having a huge fan following base both nationally and abroad. Also her smart, picture perfect and gorgeus looks adds more to the possibilities of her winning the show.

Quantum Theory Delayed
February 2, 2010 | Posted by
March was looking like a bumper month for new releases, but one of them has dropped out of that lineup. Koei's Quantum Theory, a third-person action-shooter, has been moved to a "TBA" release date. You know, like Duke Nukem Forever.
"We feel the game deserves optimum development time, and we aim to deliver the very best title we can," said the publisher when asked about the delay. The game revolves around Syd, a marine, and a woman named Filena as they explore an evil tower that changes forms. The game is planned for PS3 and 360.

Danger For Job ChangersGene Koretz
With legislative attention focused on reducing the costs of Medicare and Medicaid, the most egregious current health-care problem--the 41 million Americans who lack any health insurance at all--appears to be worsening. And the flexibility of U.S. labor markets--the ease with which Americans change jobs--isn't helping the situation.
A Commerce Dept. survey found that only 32% of 3.4 million men age 25 to 54 who changed full-time jobs from 1991 to 1993 had employer-sponsored health insurance in their new jobs, compared with 49% with coverage under their old employers. And among 1.8 million similar female job-changers, the incidence of employer-sponsored coverage fell from 46% to 30%.

The Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car is a road car produced by Honda. It first appears in Gran Turismo Concept.
In-game descriptionEdit
"A Gran Turismo original, aimed to be the ultimate NSX."
Without question, the pinnacle of Japanese mid-engine sports cars is the Honda NSX-R. This high-speed version, the NSX-R Prototype LM, begins life as a standard NSX Type-R, but uses the addition of a lighter body and wider tires, along with a massive power upgrade for good measure.
The original NSX Type-R made its debut in 1992 and underwent many major refinements prior to its second-generation release in 2002. The new model was lavished with numerous aluminum and carbon fiber parts, along with major renovations to the drivetrain. Despite these additions, it still felt like something was missing; the enhancements to the engine were limited to just a bit of fine-tuning.
The hearty 3.2-liter DOHC V6 with i-VTEC has seen its bore increased to yield an impressive 493 HP at an incredibly lofty 10,000 rpm. The engine has been repositioned to a longitudinal layout and the gearbox has been installed up front to mirror the setup found on the Japan Grand Touring Car spec NSX. The driveshaft is connected to the rear tires through the oil pan underneath the engine.
With the new level of horsepower and a high degree of handling capability, this car is ready to take on any of the world's great racing circuits. Rather than stripping the interior, this NSX features luxurious leather-clad seats and wood trim in a nod to its street-legal status.
Although this NSX Type-R LM remains only a dream, in the world of Gran Turismo the possibilities are endless.
This car can be purchased for 489,000 Credits. It is a simplified car.
As a Standard car, the Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car can be purchased from the Used Car Dealership for 488,699 Credits. It is a Level 14 car.
This car can be purchased for 489,000 Credits.
This car can only be obtained by winning the Motegi 8-hour Endurance.
GT ConceptEdit
The player can unlock this car by getting the gold medal in the first Course License test, held at Mid-Field Raceway.
- This car is one of the very few original road cars appeared in the series, alongside the GT by Citroën '08.
- ↑ Appears as a Standard Car in Gran Turismo 5

NEW YORK—Anyone who has heard William Benton talk about his trip to Russia in 1955 will be glad to see that much of what he has been saying is gathered into a book called "This Is the Challenge."
To me this book, if you have not been in Russia and seen the challenge for yourself, is "must" reading, for former Senator Benton sounded a warning before any of the rest of us had a chance to do so. It is a warning that all of us should constantly have in mind, for he believes that the Russian crash program in education is quite as important as sputniks or missiles and may have much more of an effect on deciding the world's situation.
He tells accurately what is happening in Russia, but he does more than that. He offers a program which he feels we should follow, and since there are not many people prepared to tell us what what we should do here, I think this advice may well have a stimulating effect on both our educators and our politicians. They perhaps need to realize o one basic fact, namely, that many years ago we had a great respect for education but that over the years we have become so accustomed to the opportunity for everyone to receive education that many of us do not consider it a privilege or something to be prized and much desired.
If books like this one can stimulate a return to respect for learning, I think a change in the attitude of the United States towards intellectual accomplishment will be a great advantage in meeting the challenge of winning to our side the uncommitted nations of the world.
The objectives of the U.S. in education are, of course, quite different from those of the Communists, but we must review our objectives and take a good look at what we desire to accomplish, namely, the development of an electorate able to understand the problems on which it votes, to form judgments, to think creatively and intelligently.
This book comes at a time of the greatest value to stimulate American thinking. I hope it will mean a thorough study of our schools and a willingness on the part of the American people to pay a greater amount for support of their school system in the hope that within a period of 10 years some of the intake in our prisons and mental hospitals can be cut down.
I was sad to read the other day of Lytel Hull's death. He has long been a neighbor in Staatsburg, N.Y., and his wife is a leader in philanthropic and musical circles in New York City. Their many friends will want to send Mrs. Hull their deepest sympathy.

The Fall River Valley Community services District's manager does as he damned well pleases and the board goes along with it.
A few meetings ago the board authorized Manager John Van den Bergh to hire an attorney as long as it wouldn't cost the district's customers any money.
As with so many of Van den Bergh's promises he obviously didn't have any intentions of honoring it. Last month the board authorized the payment of the district's bills which included a $1,886 payment to the attorney. Then, last week, they held a special meeting and approved accepting a $2,000 grant and taking out a low interest loan for $6,000 to cover the attorney fees. Either they have dementia or they don't care.
Two of those running for the board were the ones responsible for hiring a consultant that has cost the district in the neighborhood of $20,000 for studies that LAFCO neither needed or wanted, and their anger and hatred for LAFCO has led to an unnecessary continuous and nasty battle when if they had done as most other districts do and listened to LAFCO, followed their advice, done their due diligence, which didn't require hiring a consultant, they would have been well on their way to having a reasonable resolution to their sphere of influence problems at a fraction of the cost.
Instead they want to take in most of the Fall River Valley area, little Valley, and were looking at Cassel. Never mind the fact that they don't have the money and are busy committing their customers to additional debt to fight battles they had no reason to become involved with in the first place.
Van den Bergh, who is perfectly capable of writing grants could have written the grants that their consultant wrote at a fraction of the cost.
Instead he spends his time trying to grab at magic rings on the merry-go-round, wanting to involve the district in a hydro plant clear on the other side of the county, and fighting with LAFCO.
I heard Van den Bergh say that he runs the district, not the board and from what I've seen I believe it. I'm surprised they even have meetings.
The CSD is not a private corporation. The voters elect representatives to oversee the operation of the district, to account for its money and to supervise its manager. The manager is supposed to serve at the pleasure of the board. The board's job is not let him do as he damned well pleases.
Yes, this district needs good management and Van den Bergh has some of the qualities needed. But his way of doing business leaves a lot to be desired and is not what the district needs.
There are two things that customers can do. First they can vote against the rate increase.
I firmly believe that an increase is needed, but when the board gives the manager an extra week's vacation, drools at the idea of taking over a power plant that is 70 plus miles away and will require some management time and travel, incumbers the district for a loan to hire an attorney that is only needed because of the District's egos and unwillingness to play by the rules, It is highly questionable as to whether the money is really needed to take care of the water and sewer end of the business. I can't recommend voting for it.
I would also vote out anyone who has been on the board for longer than three months or anyone who has been on the board in the past.

Re: st: re: installing V10, V9

Re: st: re: installing V10, V9
Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:35:19 -0500
Speaking for Windows, my guess is that this will work fine, with a few caveats noted on the list so far.
Under Windows at least, by default Stata installs the program files in directories that include the version number (c:\program files\stata10; c:\program files\stata9; etc.), and also seems to keep its registry keys in separately-named branches. So the basic installation and official update processes seems like they will not step on each other, which is why it works to install version 9 and then version 10, as I and many others have done.
The caveats I see for Windows, as others have noted, are that the OS's file associations will be to the last-installed version, which might or might not be what you want. Stata can restore the file associations in the OS to version 10 if you want (Edit-Preferences-Restore File Associations), though.
The other issue is the user ado path (the PERSONAL and PLUS directories); these will by default point to the same place. That's great if you want both installations to see the same set of add-ons; a problem if you don't. I don't recall whether Stata gives you an option to relocate those directories on install.

To follow up on my earlier posting, Sylvain wants to install V9 on a

these files are structured on Windows, but it is certainly possible that

will overwrite the equivalent directories for V10, rendering his V10

user (i.e. one who knows how to give commands to rename directories,
etc.) but as Nick Cox said there care must be taken to end up with a

That said, it is certainly possible -- by redefining elements of the ADOPATH -- to make the same set of PLUS and PERSONAL adofiles accessible to more than one copy of Stata (presuming that that makes sense).

Special Parliament session likely in July to pass Food Bill
The dates for the session are being talked about as July 1-5, the government sources said that no schedule has yet been finalised.
New Delhi: Moves appeared to be afoot to call a special Parliament session in July to pass two key bills, including the National Food Security Bill. A final decision on the issue will be taken after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh returns from his foreign tour on Friday, sources said.
While the dates for the session are being talked about as July 1-5, the government sources said that no schedule has yet been finalised. Sources also said Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath and Food Minister KV Thomas are in favour of holding a special session of Parliament considering the Opposition's demand for detailed discussion on the Food Bill.
Kamal Nath is expected to hold consultations with allies and supporting parties on this issue. The Prime Minister had hinted last week that government would soon chalk out its strategy for early passage of the Food Bill as also the Land Acquisition Bill.
The Food Security Bill and the Land Acquisition Bill are being seen by Congress as a game changer in the Lok Sabha elections, which are less than a year away. The Food bill is the brainchild of party-chief Sonia Gandhi, who is also the UPA Chairperson.
Reports said the idea of convening a special session of Parliament could be thought of by the Government in view of the fact that an Ordinance is 'not a good option' because legal right cannot be given to beneficiaries through an executive order without Parliament's nod.
Gandhi only last week had appealed to the NDA and other Opposition parties to come together and collectively help the government pass the two bills. "These are not partisan issues. It is not a question of government versus the Opposition. These bills affect the lives and livelihood of millions whom we are committed to represent and benefit," Gandhi had said.

OPEN ARMS POUND RESCUE works to facilitate the rescue or adoption of shelter dogs, primarily but not exclusively from Kentucky and western Ohio. We assist rescues to pull dogs, arrange vetting, and coordinate transport. We screen potential adopters of pound dogs if we are asked to help with pull or transport. We also have dogs we have pulled from the pound in Mercer County, or one of the surrounding counties, who are in foster care ready for placement in forever homes. Those dogs will already have been fully vaccinated, placed on heartworm preventative, and spayed or neutered.
At Open Arms Pound Rescue, we believe very strongly that if we assist in moving a dog, that dog must be going into a safer and happier environment than the one he left.
Foster homes are the heart of rescue! Heartbreakingly, we have to turn our backs on dogs every day because we have nowhere to put them. If you would consider opening your home to a dog in need on a temporary basis, please complete the foster application on our website. You don't need to live in northwest Ohio to foster for us. Remember: the more foster homes we have, the more dogs we can save.
If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, please fill out an application on our website as completely as possible. We will evaluate your application, then call your veterinarian(s) and your personal references. The dog's foster will conduct one or more telephone interviews. If everything checks out, we will then schedule a home visit to see where the dog will live. Once you are approved to adopt from us, we will arrange for you to meet the dog and possibly go home with him or her. We sometimes receive a number of applications for the same dog. The more completely you fill out the application, the better we can determine whether you are a good match for the dog. We allow only approved applicants to meet our dogs. Please understand that our first concern is the lifelong happiness and well-being of our dogs. We do not adopt on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our adoption donation includes the dog's vaccinations, worming, heartworm test and preventative, flea control, and spay/neuter surgery.
We ask that you please be patient while we process your application. Ours is a very small rescue, and we work very demanding full-time jobs, so sometimes it takes a week or more before we can check your references. Our initial contacts with you will be by e-mail, not telephone, so make sure you check your e-mail regularly after you submit your application.
In addition to foster homes, we regularly need transporters near major interstates in Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York to help move pound dogs to rescues in Canada and other areas. Transports usually occur on weekends, but very occasionally on weekdays. If you would like to help save lives in this way, please email us, or join our yahoo group, Open Arms Transports.
We are always grateful for donations to help pay for vet care, pull fees, boarding and transport expenses. If you would like to sponsor a pound dog or make a donation, please email us.Open Arms Pound Rescue is a federal 501c3 non-profit corporation. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowable by law. Please note that gifts made through the Sponsor button on our individual pet pages DO NOT sponsor our pets. Those gifts go to the Petfinder Foundation. To donate to Open Arms, please use this button.
Thanks to our friends at The Dog Liberator in Florida for their beautiful video!

Ask the newly-minted West Australian Mines and Petroleum Minister
Marmion, a civil engineer, agrees there is a slowing of the state's "heightened activity level" (West Australian Premier
He points to the potential for developing unconventional shale gas within the state's Canning basin as one example where the outlook is relatively bright, while noting any rebound in commodity prices will set a spark under a raft of smaller projects wanting to develop mineral deposits.
Marmion took over from well-respected retiring MP
The lingering effects of the government's bullish first term are still being felt by Marmion, who has been to three mine site openings in the past month.
Yet the pace of openings could be coming to a screeching halt.
A noticeable lack of major new projects committed to development in the past two years is triggering fears the once-in-a-generation mining boom is very close to coming to an end.
Projects in the deep freeze
Highly-anticipated projects such as Woodside's $40 billion Browse LNG development have been put on ice because they have become too costly to develop.
The Chamber of Minerals and Energy estimates that employment in the resource sector will peak in 2014 as companies switch from constructing major projects to operating them, a task that requires much fewer people.
Employment is expected to continue falling as the government heads in to the 2017 election and a year later employ fewer workers than in 2012.
Marmion remains optimistic.
"It's not just going to jump off a cliff," he says.
"It will be slow. You just need metal prices to go up and there'll be a bit of excitement."
Paradoxically, a slowdown in new mine site projects is expected to cool wages and help reduce costs for miners.
It will also help housing affordability, says Marmion, who also holds the housing portfolio.
Perth's median house price is second to Sydney at $510,000.
"There is a need to increase the numbers of housing stock," Marmion says.
"Hopefully there'll be a switch from construction workers moving into construction areas in Perth to build houses."
For miners, the announcement could help cool markets in mining towns such as Port Hedland, where the average rent is $2000 a week.
Fast-tracking approval
Alongside complaints about high housing and labour costs are lengthy government approval processes.
The Chamber of Minerals and Energy estimates it takes about four and a half years for the average mine to be approved.
Marmion has been witness to the frustrations since leaving his successful urban planning consultancy, Syme Marmion, that was turning over $1.6 million a year, to join state Parliament in 2008.
"Where you are sitting now, three Gindalbie executives were sitting," Marmion tells The Australian Financial Review from his blue-ribbon Nedlands electoral office.
"They had a partnership with a Chinese company to mine magnetite ore and send it to China. They said four years ago we had this deal. Here is a photo in China of our iron ore smelter in China operating. Here we are in WA and we don't even have environmental approval. I thought, I can't believe that. Those sorts of things are terrible."
At the time Marmion was Parliamentary Secretary for Transport. By 2010, he was elevated to Minister for the Environment before securing the job as Mines and Petroleum Minister, a post first served in WA by his great-grandfather William in 1894.
Marmion says his immediate priority is improving the transparency of the approvals process.
Resources companies can view the status of their application within the Department of Mines and Petroleum but Marmion wants the entire process trackable, expanding the system into the Department of Environment and Department of Aboriginal Affairs.
"That will hopefully speed up things," he says.
He also wants to see the enormous and often expensive work undertaken by resources companies researching environmental impact held on a database that can be accessed for future developments.
"You don't have to reinvent the wheel," he says.
Can-do culture
As an engineer, Marmion could earn a significantly higher wage than that afforded to a government minister.
But when Marmion turned 55, he decided to turn to politics. As well as being an engineer at government agency Main Roads, Marmion had done stints working within ministerial offices of Peter Foss and former premier Richard Court.
"I thought, I am 55, when I'm in my retirement villa when I'm 80 and everyone is whinging about life as they do . . . I will be able to say at least I ran for it and was going to do something about it," Marmion says.
He wants to improve the culture of the public service and foster exploration, which is needed to continue to fuel the boom.
"You need a can-do culture," he says of the public service. "Not to put a barrier up."
Marmion says public servants should be working to improve developments in the best possible ways rather than working against projects from the outset.
"Even if you think it's a terrible project, as a public servant you should be able to go beyond that," he says, adding that with a little communication, projects could be adapted to better suit environmental outcomes, yet help miners achieve timely approvals.

Nice score!
I got over to the Orlando gun show today and picked up a couple of nice Model 36's. When we got there my wife took off and I lost her in the small building. I am looking at some nice Winchester rifles and all of a sudden she grabs my hand and about drags me through the place. She says take a look. This guy hands me two small gun cases. I open one and it's a nickel plated round butt M-36. I checked it out and said how much and he said $300 sold. I open the second one and it's a M-36 blued and I said how much and he said $300 sold. Around here that's a real good deal as they are going for $400 to $450. I am done buying guns for a long while now.
Thanks Hberttmank. I guess a blind hog finds a acorn once in awhile. I would say it's the best used gun deal I have ever made.
Took them to the range and they are dead on 7yds. It took me a little while to get back in shape with them as I haven't shot a snub in about a year. Came home and cleaned them up and I am telling you these guns are as close to new as you can get.
I like the nickel plated one..I don't know why but I like nickel plate or stainless steel
How'd you like to be eighty years old and have the face of a teenager?
Bob Wright
reminds me of a couple of months ago when i came across a 3" model 624 s&w at a pawn shop...... i really wanted to buy it but i really didn't have any use for it........ the asking price was $325....... i still think maybe i should have got it but as you might expect it didn't stay there long at that price..... it was gone in two days!
