How does Voyage manage respite care?
Voyage provides respite care for up to 42 people in a range of six services. The majority of care is planned well in advance to meet the needs of individuals and their families. Services users are well known to the services, so when emergency respite is required, the home managers can accommodate people's needs quickly.
What are the key challenges to providing good respite care?
To get the compatibility of service users right. The quality of service we provide will be compromised if a service admits individuals with conflicting needs. When planning admissions, our home managers are very skilled in accommodating service users' needs and friendships, assessing compatibility and matching needs with the skills of the staff team.
What about people management?
Respite requires a flexible and resourceful team because the service users change on an almost daily basis. Each service will employ around 20 staff and Voyage has long recognised that if we are to continue to attract the best staff we need to maintain our investment in things such as training and HR support. We have introduced annual staff awards to recognise the great job our staff do.
What impact will the £150m government funding for planned short-term breaks for carers have on respite care providers?
Occupancy levels in respite services are typically 75%, and over the last two years Voyage has been working in partnership with some purchasers to reduce the capacity in some of our services as they seek to direct resources towards developing a broader range of services to carers. The paradox, though, is that carers are requesting more respite support so I hope that some of the £150m will be directed towards meeting this real need.
How do you expect the provision of respite care to change?
With the introduction of individual budgets I can see there will be a growth in carers "buying in" support at home and providers developing and improving the range of services they provide such as "drop off" support and day care.
What's your management style?
Focused, committed and positive, while recognising that you need to take people with you if you are to influence change.
The best management advice you have received?
Listen to your gut instinct. If something doesn't feel right it probably isn't.

Improving the Quality of Hospital Care
The Foundation's program, Improving the Quality of Hospital Care, was designed to help individual hospitals develop the means to identify and address problems in the quality of patient care.This grant is to develop a consortium to improve quality of care in 10 rural and urban not-for-profit hospitals in 3 states centered around Salt Lake City. A resource center will be developed and located in a newly incorporated organization. The objectives are: (1) assess the members' needs for assistance with quality improvement; (2) develop and test a committee structure to coordinate the affairs of the consortium and an administrative structure to manage the resources in the resource center while providing services to member hospitals; (3) develop a consortium agenda for project implementation; and (4) develop and test new products (tools and methods) for use in hospital quality assurance. The expected outcomes are: (1) a fully functional consortium in which the resource center operates to meet the needs of member hospitals; (2) expansion of the consortium; and (3) a viable plan for the consortium to improve quality in member hospitals.

Group A
Sat 7 June Switzerland v Czech Republic (Basle, 17.00) Portugal v Turkey (Geneva, 19.45)
Wed 11 June zech Republic v Portugal (Geneva, 17.00) Switzerland v Turkey (Basle, 19.45)
Sun 15 June Switzerland v Portugal (Basle, 19.45) Turkey v Czech Republic (Geneva, 19.45)
CZECH REPUBLIC (Fifa ranking: 6)
Who is their key player? Petr Cech (Chelsea). Had a difficult, injury-hit season but still among the best. He conceded four goals in 10 qualifiers.
And their rising star? Martin Fenin (Eintracht Frankfurt, age 20). The striker is threatening Milan Baros's place.
What's their manager like? Canny. Karel Bruckner, 68, has never worked outside the old Czechoslovakian borders, but he took the Czechs to the semis in 2004.
Based in Britain? Cech (Chelsea), Baros (Portsmouth), Matejovsky (Reading), Rozehnal (Newcastle, on loan to Lazio)
What's their pedigree? Fair. 1996 finalists. Winners, as Czechoslovakia, in 1976.
And their 2008 form? Improving. Lost to Greece and Poland but beat Lithuania and Scotland (reserves).
What are their chances? Tomas Rosicky is injured, Pavel Nedved retired. They lack the depth and may even be edged out by the Swiss.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "There Are More Questions Than Answers", Johnny Nash.
Who is their key player? Who else? Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd). Should be knackered but seems inexhaustible.
And their rising star? Miguel Veloso (Sporting Lisbon, 20). Holding midfielder with good passing range, but lacks pace.
What's their manager like? Big Phil, Luiz Felipe Scolari, has a very good record, and he knows it. Won 2002 World Cup with Brazil, took Portugal to Euro 2004 final and 2006 World Cup semi-final. Much-coveted.
Based in Britain? Ronaldo, Nani (Man Utd), Ferreira, Bosingwa, Carvalho (all Chelsea).
What's their pedigree? Improving. 2004 Finalists.
And their 2008 form? Patchy. Lost to World champions Italy and defending Euro' champions Greece, but beat Georgia.
What are their chances? Good. Should cruise the group, but may be sunk by Germany in the semis.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Your Time Is Gonna Come", Led Zeppelin.
Who is their key player? Tranquillo Barnetta (Bayer Leverkusen). Only 23 but his pace and versatility are central to Swiss prospects.
And their rising star? Eren Derdiyok (Basle, 20 on 12 June). Promising striker who scored a smart goal on debut against England at Wembley.
What's their manager like? Embattled. Kobi Kuhn has been with the Swiss FA since 1977, which might explain his survival. Retires after the finals.
Based in Britain? Senderos, Djourou (both Arsenal), Degen (Liverpool), Fernandes (Manchester City)
What's their pedigree? Poor. Only qualified twice, in 1996 and 2004, never past group stages.
And their 2008 form? Fitful. Lost to England and, at home, 4-0 to Germany, but have since beaten Slovakia and Liechtenstein.
What are their chances? Home advantage may help them reach the quarter-finals, but no further.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)", Lesley Gore.
Who is their key player? Nihat (Villarreal). Quick, skilful goalscorer coming off a fine season – but he needs physical support.
And their rising star? Kazim (Fenerbahce, 21). Better known in England as Colin Kazim-Richards, this son of Leytonstone is now flourishing after a bold move from Sheffield United and he has earned an unexpected call-up.
What's their manager like? Fatih Terim became a hero when leading Turkey to Euro 96, their first finals. Returned as coach in 2005. Was briefly at Milan.
Based in Britain? Emre (Newcastle), Tuncay (Middlesbrough).
What's their pedigree? Discouraging. Reached the quarter-finals in 2000.
And their 2008 form? Haphazard. Lost at home to Uruguay, but beat Finland and Slovakia.
What are their chances? Facing a struggle with Swiss and Czechs for second.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Say Hello Wave Goodbye", Soft Cell.
Group B
Sun 8 June Austria v Croatia (Vienna, 17.00) Germany v Poland (Klagenfurt, 19.45)
Thu 12 June roatia v Germany (Klagenfurt, 17.00) Austria v Poland (Vienna, 19.45)
Mon 16 June Austria v Germany (Vienna, 19.45) Poland v Croatia (Klagenfurt, 19.45)
AUSTRIA (Fifa ranking: 92)
Who is their key player? Martin Stranzl (Spartak Moscow). Austria will spend much of their time in defence and the 6'4" centre-half will be busy.
And their rising star? Sebastian Prodl (Sturm Graz, 21 on 21 June). Stranzl's defensive partner, who will join Werder Bremen after the finals.
What's their manager like? Sanguine. "Suffering is part of my job," said Josef Hickersberger. Lost to Faroe Islands in first spell.
Based in Britain? Pogatetz (Middlesbrough). Manninger (ex-Arsenal) and Macho (ex-Sunderland) contest the goalkeeping spot.
What's their pedigree? A great team once, but long before the competition began. Never qualified.
And their 2008 form? Held Nigeria and thrashed Malta to climb to 92nd in Fifa rankings, between Mozambique and Thailand.
What are their chances? Zero. Hoping just to avoid humiliation at home.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Loser", Beck.
Who is their key player? Luka Modric (Tottenham). Even Arsène Wenger raves about Spurs' new signing, a gifted playmaker.
And their rising star? Nikola Kalinic (Hadjuk Split, 20). Striker given his debut last week, a possible answer to post-Eduardo goals shortage.
What's their manager like? Cool. Slaven Bilic: multilingual, plays in a rock band, a trained lawyer, and he can build a football team. All this and he is just 39 years old. Are we jealous?
Based in Britain? Modric (Tottenham), Kranjcar (Portsmouth), Corluka (Manchester City).
What's their pedigree? Limited. Third time qualifiers, made the last eight at Euro '96.
And their 2008 form? Worrying. Thumped by Dutch, held by Scots and Hungarians. They did beat Moldova... 1-0.
What are their chances? Badly damaged by Eduardo's injury. Quarter-finalists.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Under Pressure", Queen.
Who is their key player? Michael Ballack, 31, has two Champions League finals and two World Cup semi-finals behind him but Germany's driving force still lacks a major winner's medal.
And their rising star? Mario Gomez (VfB Stuttgart, 22). Big, mobile striker of Spanish descent who would suit Premier League.
What's their manager like? Joachim Löw was billed as the coaching brain behind Jürgen Klinsmann's brio. He took over after the World Cup.
Based in Britain? Ballack (Chelsea).
What's their pedigree? Very good. Five-time finalists and winners in 1972, 1980 and 1996. So that's 12 years of hurt.
And their 2008 form? Decent. Put seven in total past joint-hosts without reply, beat Serbia but were held by Belarus last week.
What are their chances? Excellent. In a weak group, almost playing at home. Finalists.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now", McFadden and Whitehead.
Who is their key player? Jacek Krzynowek (Wolfsburg). Quick left-winger with an eye for goal who can also play centrally.
And their rising star? In the absence of the injured Jakub Blaszczykowski, Tomasz Zahorski (Gornik Zabrze, 22) could impress.
What's their manager like? Wily. Sexagenarian Dutchman Leo Beenhakker has coached in eight countries and frightened England with Trindad & Tobago in last World Cup.
Based in Britain? Boruc (Celtic), Kuszczak (Manchester Utd), Fabianski (Arsenal), Saganowski (Southampton).
What's their pedigree? Non-existent. Never qualified before.
And their 2008 form? Packed in seven games, winning four including a victory away to Czechs, but single loss was by a startling 3-0 at home to US.
What are their chances? Outsiders, but they have a smart coach and technically skilled players. Must defeat Croats to escape the group.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Like a Virgin", Madonna.
Group C
Mon 9 June Romania v France (Zurich, 17.00) Netherlands v Italy (Berne, 19.45)
Fri 13 June Italy v Romania (Zurich, 17.00) Netherlands v France (Berne, 19.45)
Tue 17 June Netherlands v Romania (Berne, 19.45) France v Italy (Zurich, 19.45)
FRANCE (Fifa ranking: 7)
Who is their key player? Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich). Came to notice during the World Cup and has continued to shine at Bayern.
And their rising star? Karim Benzema (Lyons, 20). The striker has just signed a deal until 2013. If he shines Jean-Michel Aulas, Lyons' tough-negotiating president, will have to choose between £30m and an assault on the Champions League.
What's their manager like? Unusual. Raymond Domenech admits team selection is influenced by astrology. Enjoys antagonising friend and foe alike.
Based in Britain? Gallas (Arsenal), Evra (Man Utd), Makelele, Malouda, Anelka (all Chelsea), Diarra (Portsmouth).
What's their pedigree? Strong. Winners in 1984 and 2000.
And their 2008 form? Decent. Beat England, Ecuador and Colombia, but lost in Spain.
What are their chances? Bright, despite the tough draw, but could meet Italy again in the semi-finals.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "We All Stand Together" Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus.
Who is their key player? Andrea Pirlo (Milan). Runs the Azzurri from the quarter-back position and is deadly at set-pieces.
And their rising star? Alberto Aquilani (Roma, 23). If he plays he should show why Arsène Wenger, and others, admire him.
What's their manager like? Cerebral. Roberto Donadoni was a surprise successor to World Cup winner Marcello Lippi but has overcome a dicey start to prosper.
Based in Britain? None, but Simone Perrotta was born in Cheshire.
What's their pedigree? Ordinary. The four-time World Cup winners have reached one final, in 2000.
And their 2008 form? Mixed. Beat Portugal and Belgium but lost to Spain.
What are their chances? Excellent. Donadoni is confident enough to base the team in Vienna – they only play in Austria if they win the group, and keep winning.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Can We Fix It?", Bob the Builder
Who is their key player? Rafael van der Vaart (Hamburg).
And their rising star? Ibrahim Afellay (PSV Eindhoven, 22). Creative midfielder of Moroccan descent.
What's their manager like? Contradictory. Marco van Basten has fallen out with several players but agreed to demands to change the formation from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1.
Based in Britain? Van der Sar (Man Utd), Ooijer (Blackburn), Bouma (Aston Villa), Melchiot (Wigan), Van Persie (Arsenal), Kuyt (Liverpool), Vennegoor of Hesselink (Celtic), Boulahrouz (Chelsea, on loan to Seville).
What's their pedigree? Winners, with Van Basten scoring, in 1988.
And their 2008 form? Imposing. Beaten Croatia, Austria, Ukraine and Wales, scoring 12 goals to three.
What are their chances? Tricky. If they get out of the group they can win it, but first they must qualify.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Slammin (Flash Harry Remix)", Dutch Courage.
Who is their key player? Adrian Mutu (Fiorentina). The cocaine-taking party animal claims to be a reformed character after being fired by Chelsea, then re-marrying. His form suggests he is.
And their rising star? Stefan Radu (Lazio, 21). Versatile defender already billed as the successor to Inter's Christian Chivu (who is only 27 himself).
What's their manager like? Principled. Fired prior to Euro 2000 finals for standing up to Gheorghe Hagi, Victor Piturca returned to oversee Romania's first qualification since, twice outsmarting the Dutch en route.
Based in Britain? Niculae (Inverness Caledonian Thistle).
What's their pedigree? Thin. Reached the last eight in 2000.
And their 2008 form? Improving. Lost to Israel, but since beat Russia and Montenegro.
What are their chances? Slight, but they have the talent to upset one of the big three.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance", Vampire Weekend.
Group D
Tue 10 June Spain v Russia (Innsbruck, 17.00) Greece v Sweden (Salzburg, 19.45)
Sat 14 June Sweden v Spain (Innsbruck, 17.00) Greece v Russia (Salzburg, 19.45)
Wed 18 June Greece v Spain (Salzburg, 19.45) Russia v Sweden (Innsbruck, 19.45)
GREECE (Fifa ranking: 8)
Who is their key player? Angelos Basinas (Real Mallorca). Outstanding in 2004, the deep midfielder is the team's pacemaker.
And their rising star? Vasilis Torosidis (Olympiakos, 23 on 10 June). The left-back is a rare youngster in an old team.
What's their manager like? Shrewd. German Otto Rehhagel emphasises defence and teamwork. Not pretty, but effective.
Based in Britain? Samaras (Man City, loaned to Celtic). Giannakopoulos has left Bolton.
What's their pedigree? Impeccable. They are the holders – but have only qualified twice, going out in the group stage in 1980.
And their 2008 form? Dipped. After beating the Czechs, Finland, Portugal and Cyprus they lost to Hungary and were held by Armenia.
What are their chances? Eighth in the world and in a weak draw, but no longer unknowns. Quarter-finals but no more, surely.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Do It Again", The Beach Boys.
Who is their key player? Konstantin Zyryanov (Zenit St Petersburg). The holding midfielder and reigning Russian player of the year has a crucial role as Andrei Arshavin will miss first two matches.
And their rising star? Igor Akinfeyev (CSKA Moscow, 22) Young for a 'keeper but already a seasoned pro. CSKA captain.
What's their manager like? Cunning. Dutchman Guus Hiddink picks the right jobs, and usually executes his task well.
Based in Britain? None.
What's their pedigree? Won inaugural competition in 1960, finalists in 1964, 1972, 1988.
And their 2008 form? Well beaten by Romania but have since defeated Kazakhstan, Serbia and Liechtenstein.
What are their chances? Hamstrung. As well as playmaker Arshavin being out, striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is injured for the first match. By then their defence may have been exposed.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "Help!", The Beatles.
Who is their key player? Marcos Senna (Villarreal). Spain will score goals, with or without Torres, but unless the naturalised Brazilian protects the back four even Iker Casillas may concede.
And their rising star? David Silva (Valencia, 22). Canary Islander who caught the eye at Chelsea last season and is now making a splash internationally.
What's their manager like? Irascible. Luis Aragones, 69, does not care for others' opinions, as Raul, Thierry Henry, Joaquin, the Spanish federation and numerous journalists have discovered.
Based in Britain? Reina, Torres, Arbeloa, Alonso (all Liverpool), Fabregas (Arsenal).
What's their pedigree? Winners in 1964, finalists in 1984.
And their 2008 form? Outstanding. Unbeaten for 16 months in 2008 they have beaten France, Italy, Peru and the US. But only by the odd goal each time.
What are their chances? Always contenders, always fall short. Will qualify, but likely to have to beat the Group of Death's top two to reach final.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "The Great Pretender", Freddie Mercury.
Who is their key player? Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Internazionale). Unpredictable genius who has all the tools except consistency.
And their rising star? Sebastian Larsson (Birmingham, 22). Youngest player in the squad, the talented midfielder has the chance to put relegation behind him.
What's their manager like? Sober. Lars Lagerback began as co-coach in 2000, has been on his own since 2004, and always qualifies. Very organised.
Based in Britain? Isaksson (Man Ctiy), Ljungberg (West Ham), Larsson (Birmingham), Granqvist (Wigan, on loan to Helsingborgs).
What's their pedigree? Mundane. Semi-finals, on home soil, in 1992.
And their 2008 form? Average. Beat Costa Rica and Slovenia, lost to US, Brazil, Ukraine.
What are their chances? Experienced, but unless Ibrahimovic is fit and refreshed after injury they will struggle to get out of the group.
What should be their Euro 2008 anthem? "I Have A Dream", Abba.

Yesterday Israel's telephone company, Bezek, installed a prayer fax machine at the Wailing Wall, Judaism's holiest site. Herod the Great must have squirmed in his grave. For centuries Jews have left wishes in the cracks in the wall - the last vestige of the temple built by Herod the Great in 20BC - believing they wouldbe granted. Now the pious Jew can simply dial the Wailing Wall number - from anywhere in the world - and Bezek promises the message will get through.
But there is a small hitch. Once a week the fax will be switched off: according to Jewish law the use of electricity, even when seeking divine intervention, is banned on the Sabbath.

All in the Family pilots (found episodes; 1960s)
|One of the show's title cards.
|Date found
|June 9th 2009
|Found by
You'd be an idiot not to know what All in the Family was. Running on CBS for a good nine years (1971-79) and starring Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers, the Norman Lear-created sitcom was the top-rated network television show for five years and has since been regarded as the most groundbreaking comedy of all time, as well as one of the greatest. What many casual fans don't know is that two pilots, which both used the same script, were created and rejected by ABC.
And Justice For All (1968)
On July 22, 1965, Till Death Do Us Part debuted on BBC1 and followed the life of a working-class man and his family. The series ended up doing well in the ratings, and while reading a Variety article on its success, the idea for All in the Family came about to Lear, who considered incorporating his own experiences with his own father into the remake. Around that time, CBS had been considering buying the rights to Till Death Do Us Part and retooling it specifically for Jackie Gleason (one of the three actors Lear originally considered to play Archie Bunker, the other two were Tom Bosley and Jack Warden).
Lear had CBS beat, buying the rights and then selling them to ABC. The first pilot, And Justice For All, was taped in October 1968 in New York City. In it, O'Connor and Stapleton played the roles of Archie and Edith Bunker (as they later would in the final show), except their last name was Justice. Instead of Struthers, Kelly Jean Peters played Gloria Stivic, while Tim Mclntire played her husband, Richard. The pilot has since been regarded as "lost", though it was finally released in 2009 as one of the many extras on The Norman Lear Collection DVD, which also included interviews and the first seasons of his most famous creations (All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Maude, One Day at a Time, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman).
Those Were the Days (1969)
Following the screening of the first pilot, Lear had tried again in February 1969, giving the producers more money to film the second pilot, Those Were the Days (named after the final show's theme song), in Hollywood, California. For this pilot, O'Connor and Stapleton kept their respective roles as Archie and Edith (D'Urville Martin also kept his role as future Jeffersons character Lionel Jefferson, who appeared in both pilots) while Peters and Mclntire were respectively replaced with Candice Azzara and Chip Olivier. Unfortunately, due to the then-recent Turn-On complaints, ABC turned down both pilots because they wouldn't air a show where the lead was "foul-mouthed" and "bigoted."
In an attempt to switch out their "rural" programs for more "urban" shows, CBS happily bought Lear's project and it became All in the Family. Unlike And Justice For All, Those Were the Days still existed (meaning, it wasn't "lost" like the 1968 effort), and as with the first one, it was released as a special feature on The Norman Lear Collection DVD.

|[Bug 119287] Shadow is not applied to chart initially.
|Thu, 31 May 2012 14:21:55 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119287 --- Comment #4 from Armin Le Grand <email@example.com> --- ALG: Removed hard attribute setting at OleProperties::ForceDefaultAttributes and GraphicProperties::ForceDefaultAttributes to allow a style to 'shine through' with his fill and line style. To still create valid OLE and graphic objects I added a new default style NoFillNoLine which these get initially and which has the style 'Default' as parent. This allows to change e.g. the shadow of the default style and have all objects (including OLE and GraphicObject) use it (same with fill and line). The principle is: as less hard attributes as possible. Checked save/load cycle, exchange with OOo3.3 and others, works well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Stressing Yourself a Bit For Work You Enjoy Can Be Healthy
Eric Barker stashed this in Diabolical Plans For World Domination
Stashed in: Stress, @bakadesuyo
As unpleasant as it may be in the moment, stress acts as a motivator for us.
Take that away and your quality of life starts to decrease. This can be particularly tricky for those who retire without having other activities to fall back on:
No doubt, studies show too much stress can be bad for your health. But the important words there are "too much." Some stress can be also be healthy.
You need to strive toward goals to get the most out of life. If you want to perform — and live — optimally, you don't need zero stress. You need a Goldilocks-style "just right" amount.
What happens when you retire and stop challenging yourself? Your brain turns to mush, that's what.
Of course, some people retire and keep challenging themselves. Likewise, some people stop challenging themselves long before they retire. If you want to keep your mind sharp and stay motivated to do the things that keep you healthy, instead of vegging out on Netflix during all your free time, it's helpful to maintain a bit of stress.
The key, however, is that it's better if you enjoy the work. Being stressed because you're working a job you hate or because your home life is miserable doesn't really motivate you to improve. It just drains you. Fixing those problems to avoid that stress is fine. However, if you find work you enjoy, don't be afraid if it stresses you out a bit. That's normal and healthy.

Profound changes in the epigenetic landscape of cancer cells underlie the development of human malignancies. These changes include large-scale DNA methylation changes throughout the genome as well as alterations in the compendium of post-translational chromatin modifications. Epigenetic aberrations impact multiple steps during tumorigenesis, ultimately promoting the selection of neoplastic cells with increasing pathogenicity. Identification of these alterations for use as predictive and prognostic biomarkers has been a highly sought after goal. Recent advances in the field have not only greatly expanded our knowledge of the epigenetic changes driving neoplasia but also demonstrated their significant clinical utility as cancer biomarkers. These biomarkers have proved to be useful for identifying patients whose malignancies are sensitive to specific cytotoxic chemotherapies and may hold promise for predicting which patients will benefit from newer targeted agents directed at oncogenes. The recent application of global analysis strategies has further accelerated our understanding of the epigenome and promises to enhance the identification of epigenomic programs underlying cancer progression and treatment response.

The awkward.
It's probably crazy of me, but I just couldn't imagine getting up in front of the entire study hall, waltzing over to the cutest guy in the room, and plopping my butt right in front of him. Seriously, my legs feel absolutely incapable of even doing so. It's as if the awkward-goblin snuck over and attached an ankle weight to me, because I ain't moving now- even if I wanted to. Maybe it's just my awkwardness holding me back.
I look at him like he's crazy and shake my head fervently. He smirks and writes something else down, then comes in sailing another note. I open it on the table and read it quickly.
"Why, lazy?"
Biting my lip, I play off of this. Yeah, sure, I'm lazy. Lazy as hell. He's a whole ten yards away- feels like there's a mountain between us. Or a river valley. Heck, let's go with a galaxy. He is in a galaxy far, far away and I am just too much of a lazy butt to get up and walk over. That, that is why I won't sit with him.
I nod and he laughs from where he's at. He holds up a finger and tells me with his eyes to wait a second, then he writes one more note and send it floating on down the tabletop.
That does it. My cheeks catch fire and my stomach does all it's flipping and flopping inside me like a fish on a dock. God, why does he have to be so darn attractive? With his mop of soft-looking dark brown hair, those striking grey eyes, and his milky-caramel skin. Really, can you blame me for fawning? The guy's a dream- and not just to me either. Of course, I'm not the only one who finds him to be the bee's knees. There are plenty of other girls around that'd like to be sitting where I am right now.
Well not exactly where I am. In a muggy, crowded cafeteria, stuck at a table with gum under the table and some mysterious stain on the seat next to me. But, still, I've got Braydon Sanders looking at me and sending me little notes, asking me to come sit with him. Still though, I don't think I can bring myself to go sit over there.
Maybe he can come over here though?

Hurless gives Illini first shot at title
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Her Illinois teammates call her Junior, and even 5-foot-5 Tara Schuling calls 5-foot-4 Tara Hurless little Tara.
But after two rounds of the Big Ten women''s soccer tournament, no player has stood taller than Hurless. Of course, the freshman still was hard to see during the postgame pileup after scoring with 19 seconds left in overtime to beat Michigan 2-1 in the semifinals.
This is great for us, Hurless said. I just go out there to play. I don''t look for the goals. If anybody else scored, it would be just as good.
Illinois (12-6-1) beat the Wolverines (12-7-1) in OT for the second time this season, but this one was even more dramatic, and it set up Sunday''s noon championship match with Penn State (16-3-1), which beat Ohio State 2-0 in the other semi.
Surprise, surprise, Penn State, Illini coach Tricia Taliaferro said. There''s no love lost between the two. We''ve had good matches last year and this year. We''re excited to play against them again.
They''re excited to reach the conference title game for the first time, and they''re probably still buzzing after Friday''s finish.
After a stoppage in play with about 30 seconds left, Schuling got the ball near midfield and blasted it deep into Michigan territory, where Hurless got control, blew past her defender and ripped the game-winner past Wolverines goalkeeper Suzie Grech.
Tara said make sure you make eye contact with me, get behind them and then get it in the back of the net, said Hurless, who has 10 goals. That''s exactly what ended up happening.
That''s happened a lot lately for Hurless. She was not the conference freshman of the year, but she''s the tournament MVP so far.
Hurless leads the tournament with four goals and has both game-winners for Illinois. After Schuling sent the ball ahead, Taliaferro was happy to see Hurless on the other end.
She''s just a goal scorer, Taliaferro said. She''s a special player who is going to continue to get better.
Schuling''s touch couldn''t get much better. Roughly 103 minutes earlier – 55 seconds into the game to be precise – she launched a perfect corner kick that freshman Christine Sinak headed in for her second goal of the season.
Our freshmen are huge, Schuling said. I can''t say enough about them. They''re a huge part of this team.
Sinak said they practiced that play all week and Schuling''s pass was perfect, but the emotion didn''t last long. About eight minutes later, Michigan''s Abby Crumpton broke through and scored to tie the game.
When you score early, it''s tough because you''ve got to hold it and think about it the rest of the game, Sinak said. After they scored and came back, we knew we had a battle. The rest of the game was a fight.
Both teams had their chances throughout the second half and overtime, and a handful of great saves by Illinois'' Leisha Alcia and Grech kept the game going. But Hurless broke away and made history.
We try to take steps throughout the season and throughout the years, and this is the next step for us in our development, Taliaferro said. This is huge.
A win Sunday would be monumental. The Nittany Lions are 8-0 all time against the Illini, beating them 3-1 a month ago in Champaign and 2-1 in triple overtime in last year''s conference semifinals.
They boast three-time Big Ten Player of the Year Christie Welsh, the conference''s all-time leading scorer, and a vanload of all-conference players. Schuling''s not worried, and she''s glad to get a shot at Penn State in Illinois'' title-game debut.
It''s about time we''re in the finals, Schuling said. Christie Welsh, I''ve played with her all my life. She''s from New York. I''m from New York. There are no surprises. She''s their big gun. We''ve stopped her before, and we''ll stop her again.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Where do you go when you have a great idea, but don't have the money to buy the equipment or all the knowledge you may need to create it?
Local company Elite Innovations has an answer: a "makerspace," where entrepreneurs can go to meet a full team of experts to offer assistance in a workshop filled with tools and gadgets for local tinkerers and hobbyists to turn their ideas "for the next best thing" into a physical prototype.
"For do-it-yourselfers we offer a building block approach to help you become more well-rounded, by helping create prototypes and marketing campaigns for the average person here in Wilmington," said Andrew Williams, founder of Elite Innovations. "We want to help people take their idea to the next level."
For a process normally taking a few years and $50,000 to $100,000 in research and development, Williams has reduced the phase from taking an idea to putting it in action to a $25 monthly fee with a schedule functioning as you please.
"For the average person, they don't the time or the money to jump into an investment like that; we offer the alternative," said Williams.
The makerspace, located at 707 South 18th Street, is an idea Williams brought with him to Wilmington last October after receiving his MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It fulfilled his dream of creating a space where "makers" have access to tools for 3D printing, metal fabrication, textiles, wood working, along with a staff to teach their proper use.
Inventions to come out of the makerspace workshop can range from an advanced threaded rod used in construction, to a truck bed extender, to a new type of baby diapers.
Elite Innovations celebrated the grand opening of their latest location last week, an event attended by Mayor Bill Saffo along with representatives from Wilmington Downtown Inc.
Located at 225 South Water Street inside the Chandler's Wharf shopping center, the additional space will be a complement to the current makerspace, offering research and product development services to help connect its members to marketing agencies and manufacturers.
It will also serve as a storefront to display products like Williams' TacLace. A product created within the makerspace, TacLace is a boot lacing system enabling the wearer to tie and secure boot laces in seconds. Williams and a buddy developed TacLace while serving in the Marine Corps. With a patent still pending, he credits its success for enabling the launch of both Elite Innovations and the makerspace.
"We're really excited to have this business here in Wilmington," said Ed Wolverton, president and CEO of Wilmington Downtown Inc. "I'm looking forward to seeing this company grow – what great invention will come out of here next?"
With more than 40 inventors signed up for the service, Williams anticipates a new denture product to make big waves in the near future. "It's going to revolutionize that industry, the product enables you to pick up dentures at your closest pharmacy and mold them to your mouth the same way you would a sports mouth guard," said Williams. He expects the product to hit pharmacy shelves soon.

The Socs are the rival gang of The Greasers and are the antagonists in the novel The Outsiders written by S. E. Hinton, with the exception of Sherri and Marcia, who were one of them. They are far more socially accepted than the Greasers, driving nice cars and doing well in school. They are also typically more wealthy than Greasers. Many of the male Socs like to beat up the Greasers, like Johnny and Ponyboy.

DIY Halloween Leaf Bunting
|Posted on October 3, 2016 at 3:35 PM
|comments (0)
I had been out of town for a few days this past week and arrived back on Sunday - the day I take on the little ones in our apartment building. No time to prepare anything (you'd think I'd be more organized by now), so I took the kids out to collect what we could find along the Rideau Canal and Confederation Park. There were, fortunately, loads of pretty fall leaves that hadn't been cleaned up the parks maintenance guys, so, we took a pile home. Now what to do with these? Putting my thinking cap on, I remembered that my friend Colette, who visited me from Germany this summer, mentioning that she likes to paint leaves into miniature 'ghosts' and string them up as Halloween bunting (that's garland to you and me).
So, here's what we did:
First we painted a bunch of maple and oak leaves (back and front) using white poster paint (all I had on hand - and it's easy to clean). As each leaf dried, we added on the eyes and noses with some black paint. When all the leaves were done, we tied the leaves with twine into bunting.
By the way, I covered my table surfaces with brown paper grocery bags and they did not look as pristine as the photo above shows when we were finished.
And here's what we ended up with. Nice.
Christmas Foraging - Into the Woods We Go ...
|Posted on October 18, 2015 at 9:50 AM
|comments (0)
I was running around this morning finishing up a few errands when it started to snow. I noticed a fellow across the street from me glance up at the sky and stretch his hand out to catch some snowflakes. We looked at each other and both of us grinned in delight. First snow has that effect. It didn't last, of course; after all, it's only mid-October but it will come and, I'm keeping my figures crossed for piles and piles of this white stuff, especially at Christmas.
One of the nicest memories that I always associate with Christmas is the scent of evergreen. I can't have a live Christmas tree in my flat as fire regulations and the fact that some people, after the holidays, toss their trees over their balconies to the street below, prohibit the real thing. However, I always have at least one real wreath - one I make myself or buy at the farmer's market.
Heading out into the woods is probably not a reality for most of us but if you can, gather up the kids, the family pet (if you have one), a few baskets or boxes, and get foraging. Let the kids decide what they would like to bring home and be sure that you don't harm any trees or other plants - just pick up what you find on the ground. Once you get home, remember to spread out your finds outside for an hour or two so that any residents inside the finds you brought home have time to scurry out and find new homes!
Below are a few ideas for DIY wreaths that I found online. Some of the things you will need to collect are fresh branches such as willow or grapevine, oak leaves, cones, and evergreen clippings. So get out there and forage.
Bambi Wreath / La Couronne de Noel de Bambi
The gals over at Oui Oui Oui Studio created this kid-friendly wreath with holly branches, oak leaves, tea lights and, of course, a little Bambi toy figure and some white balls. You can easily forage and find oak leaves and willow branches which are flexible enough for the kids to shape into a wreath. If you have any spare round (plastic) Christmas tree ornaments (ping pong balls would also work), get the kids to paint these white. The tea lights are battery-powered so this wreath can easily be one for the children's room.
A Foraged Wreath
This wreath is from a photo shoot at The Marion House. It was one of several wreaths made by Sarah Nixon of My Luscious Backyard for a Chatelaine magazine 2014 article. I liked this one in particular for its simplicity. It looks a bit like the Bambi wreath and everything on it can be foraged from the woods, your backyard, or a local nature park. I pick up a lot of stuff along the Rideau Canal which is close to where I live. I often find acorns, pine cones, twigs and even some evergreen boughs along the path. Of course, it's considered illegal to pick this stuff up but let's that be our secret!
A Traditional Wreath
A simple traditional DIY wreath made using spruce clippings. It's from a posting on Once Wed by photography Laura Murray. Under materials she lists a metal wreath form but as I'm encouraging you to forage, collect some fresh thin branches and wire these together instead to use as the base for your wreath (or you could recycle a wire clothes hanger). Using the branches means you can skip the floral tape, too. Just wire the spruce clippings and cones to the branch base. And skip the glue gun. Oh dear, I think I just completely redid the instructions. Oh, well - frugal me.
DIY Seasonal Wreath
My very favourite wreath is from Treasures and Travels. If I had the wall space, this would be up in a flash. It reminds me of one Christmas when my family and I were driving through Pennsylvania when I spotted a huge rusted barb wire wreath on the side of an old red barn. It's sheer size and simplicity blew me away. Ever since then, I have lusted for a similar (somewhat smaller) one for my home. Somethings, I do believe, are better, bigger.
But I digress. For this beautiful wreath you'll need flexible branches or woody vines (grapevines or whatever is growing in your neighbourhood). If you don't have vines covering your home and a neighbour does, what are you waiting for?
Yummy Saffron and Cinnamon Wreath
Another traditional spruce wreath posted on a foodie blog and it's owner, Linda, at Call Me Cupcake offers you not only this yummy smelling saffron and cinnamon spruce wreath but an lovely edible saffron bun wreath as well. She jumps around a bit from the real wreath to the bun wreath but it's easy to see how she makes both.

Too pooped to post anything as I spent the day preparing photos to accompany my Christmas articles. Here's a little something I thought you might enjoy.
I love the whole Peanuts gang - Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder, and especially Charlie's little Christmas tree which this one resembles.

Thanksgiving quickie
|Posted on October 6, 2011 at 11:25 AM
|comments (0)
Here's a quick and easy last-minute Thanksgiving decorating idea. You can get it all at your local market or grocery store and no skills required. If you wax the pumpkins with floor wax (not the liquid kind, the real wax kind) and, after Thanksgiving, store in a cool dark place, these should last until next year. So will the corn without waxing.
Have fun and don't eat the entire turkey in one sitting.
Make an Easter Willow Wreath
|Posted on April 18, 2011 at 7:50 AM
|comments (2)
At the Bytown market yesterday afternoon I spotted my favourite vendor selling willow (Salix discolor) branches and, of course, I couldn't resist buying a few. I sometimes just plunk them into one of my old sap buckets and leave it at that. But this year I wanted to create a nice wreath to remind me that spring is not too far away.
To make the wreath, I simply recycled a twig wreath that I had left over from Christmas and inserted short stems of the willow between the twigs. The wreath will last a long time but keep it out of the sun.
Seasonal leaf decoration
|Posted on November 2, 2010 at 8:52 AM
|comments (0)
If you're too busy to find time to shop for seasonal decorations, here's an idea to decorate your banisters that I spotted while web searching this morning. It will take you from Thanksgiving (American friends) right through to Christmas. Just head for your backyard and collect a bunch of colourful leaves (better yet, get the kids to do it while they're clearing up the leaves in the backyard).
To prepare the leaves, first protect your ironing board or area with a piece of fabric remnant or newspaper. Place your leaves between two sheets of wax paper (not parchment paper) and run a warm iron over the leaves for a couple of minutes. The paper will leave a residue of wax on the leaves; gently peel away the top sheet. Note that you will have to replace the wax paper when all the wax is gone. When you've got enough leaves, hot glue them to a length of butcher's twine (or similar string) and wind that around a string of Christmas lights. Then wind that (I know, a lot of winding - better than whining!!!) around your banister.
No twine, no Christmas lights? Make my leaf wreath instead.

Tuesday night finally came. I snuck out of my window on the fire escape ladder my mother had given me as a birthday present last year. We lived in town, not far from the address I was headed to. It was farther than I would have liked to walk, but the night air was pleasantly cool and there was a slight breeze that played with my long, brown hair. The street lamps offered some light, but the moon put them all to shame. I liked the night. It was beautiful and, as I would soon learn, deadly.
I arrived at the house where I had bought the heroin. My palms began to sweat as I walked towards the door. I took a deep breath and knocked.
Nothing happened.
What was I expecting? A guy to open the door and shoot me? I felt foolish for letting my imagination run away with me. Just as I was about to turn and leave, the door opened. It was the same guy as before. Excepthis hair was different. It appeared recently washed. He smiled and said, "You came back. I was afraid you wouldn't. You're a bit late I'm afraid so, if we may proceed." At this he made a rather elegant flourish and started walking quickly towards wherever we were headed.
I caught up with him and he made an attempt at what I supposewas conversation.
"I'm Cai Dawson. What's the name you go by? In other words, don't give me your real one. You'll be too easy to track down if you do that. If you've ever wished you could pick your own name, now's your chance."
I thought about what he said for a few moments and tried to decide on a name. I looked into my past to see if there was something, anything, to give me inspiration. When I was younger I had a friend named Amelia who killed herself. Then I thought of my last name: Carley. I decided to do something close to it so that if I slipped, it would be close enough that I could catch myself. I found exactly what I was looking for.
"It's Amelia Carroway."
"That's a good one. Don't forget it. Now, back to business, when we get where we're going, don't look anyone in the eye unless you want your head bitten off. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't give anyone lip. That one's important, if you do, you could get killed and that's a pretty stupid reason to die."
Cai had a point. We walked in silence for a bit and I tried to absorb all of what he had said. Apparently we had reached our destination, because he stopped suddenly in front of an old and falling apart warehouse. The roof was tin and rusted, while the walls looked like they could use a new coat of paint. He looked at me for a moment and his eyes suddenly were dangerously cold and serious where only moments before had been playful, good humor. Finally he looked me in the eyes and said, "And don't let anyone walk all over you. You may be new, but you need to show that you're not afraid of them. If you don't, they'll only take advantage of you. I know you're nervous but, chin up, shoulders straight." I adjusted my position until I stood reasonably straight and did my best not to look at my shoes. The well- natured light returned to his eyes as he said, "Much better. That's the way to make a good impression."
Cai opened the door and I discovered who "they" were.

By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY
MIAMI BEACH Nothing is too over the top here this season.
Bedrooms at slain designer Gianni Versace's opulent South Beach palazzo now can be booked by anyone with the $1,000-plus it costs to spend the night there.
PHOTOS: Spoil yourself SoBe style
The new nightclub SET will have dancers swooshing up and down in glass elevators designed like giant pneumatic tubes.
The just-opened Regent South Beach hotel offers two-level suites with rooftop whirlpool tubs, $200 "car-turndown service" and an Argentine mermaid who swishes in a glass-bottomed pool above the bar.
And beach butlers: There's a cadre on the white sands, from SoBe stretching north to Fort Lauderdale. Usually young and buff, they're the sort who'd probably peel a grape for you if you asked.
No doubt about it, in the everyone-wants-to-be-a-VIP era, this flashy playground is getting even splashier.
As Miami prepares to host Super Bowl XLI next weekend, an infusion of high-end hotels and spas, restaurants from big-name chefs and velvet-rope nightspots is taking divine decadence to new heights.
GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL: Tickets available, but be ready to pay
From party-central South Beach, with its art deco hotels and clubs that pour till 5 a.m., to new $600-a-night lodgings in once-tacky beach communities to the north, the Miami area is morphing into a world-class luxury hot spot. "More and more is coming in, and year after year it's getting better," says Suzy Buckley, lifestyle editor for Ocean Drive magazine, which chronicles the places and famous faces of South Beach.
In the first week of 2007, Miami area hotel rates were up 12.6% over the same time last year, says Alinio Azevedo, a lodging analyst for Ernst & Young. Miami is outperforming most of the USA on rate increases, he says. "The influx of top-drawer properties has helped." (Average daily rate in December: $145.50 for Miami, $193 for Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, he says.)
South Beach is famed for noisy hotels with small rooms, where style trumps substance. That started to change in the past few years after luxe chains such as Ritz-Carlton moved in. In 2005, The Setai, a super-elegant Asian-themed resort, raised the bar on rooms and rates (Setai rooms start at $950 in the winter season).
Those for whom money is no object can stay at the most famous address in South Beach — 1116 Ocean Drive, where Versace was fatally shot by Andrew Cunanan in 1997. Strolling past tourists who still come to gawk and being buzzed through its gates makes an anybody feel like somebody. Suites start at $1,200. And for $4,000, you can sleep in the designer's bedroom (refurnished but still containing the sky-blue ceiling painted with fluffy clouds). Formerly open only to members, Casa Casuarina now accepts outsiders, too.
Farther north on Ocean Drive, the newly built Regent South Beach opened in December. Unlike SoBe hotels in historic art deco buildings whose configurations must be respected, each of the 80 suites (averaging 480 square feet and renting for $550 and up) has a balcony and large bathroom.
The Regent gives royal treatment that some might say qualifies as wretched excess: Guests in the 27 penthouse-level suites are issued a cellphone with four buttons that call their butler, concierge, valet parking and the hotel general manager. Perfect for making dinner reservations while strolling the beach.
And that $200 car turndown? It includes a wash, wax and detailing. Miami Beach has a car culture, Regent South Beach general manager Helena Blat says. "If you have a $250,000 car, you have no problem paying $200 for a wash."
Regent sales and marketing manager Frank Fuentes adds: "These are people that throw hundred-dollar bills around like they were tens."
That's true of growing numbers of South Florida visitors. A half-hour drive north on Collins Avenue — past the sites of future hotels including a W, a southern branch of New York's Gansevoort and the first Canyon Ranch Living hotel and condo spa community — patrons happily splash out $295 (plus tip) for the signature two-hour customized spa treatment at the new Acqualina, A Rosewood Resort.
It might start with an Asian foot bath followed by therapist-prescribed treatments done in a private spa suite with shower. Options include a reviving salt scrub, a Balinese-style massage with hot stones and a scalp massage with warm oil.
You can get a plain-vanilla rub, but two-hour treatments are advised at Acqualina, where rates start at $695. "You can do very little in an hour," spa director Vivianne Garcia-Tunon says. "Here a therapist can diagnose what you need."
The Mediterranean-style Acqualina's location "is a challenge," says general manager Florent Gateau, a Frenchman in a perfectly tailored dark suit. But there's "a tranquility you don't find in South Beach. If you look for relaxation in South Beach, good luck."
Good luck indeed.
With club-lined streets and balmy nighttime temperatures encouraging a parade of exposed flesh, SoBe is the ultimate people-watching scene. Limos and more Hummers than you'll ever see in one place roll by, blaring hip-hop or salsa. Seniors with walkers mingle with trash-rummaging homeless and strutting models in skin-baring garb. Music blares in hotel lobbies, restaurants and nightspots, spilling onto the sidewalk.
Blink and the club of the moment isn't, replaced by something new. This season, spurred by the big-bucks partying that accompanies the Super Bowl, new nightspots will open next week.
Pre-rehab, Lindsay Lohan rang in the new year at Mansion, a cavernous club in a former theater. Other magnets for visiting stars include Mokai (Lohan, Queen Latifah and Lance Armstrong) and Snatch (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes).
SET, due Feb. 2, is designed like a glam '40s Hollywood home stage set. Cameo and Vice, a two-level club, is opening Super Bowl weekend with fanfare — Prince is due to play that Friday night at Cameo.
Whatever the upscale club, the game is the same. The action won't heat up till midnight. Try to get on "the list" and be prepared to shell out hundreds for "bottle service" (a fifth of booze and mixers). That is, if you make it past the front door.
Hardy Hill, a 36-year-old Ray Liotta look-alike in a black velour jacket and jeans who does VIP "guest retention" for The Opium Group (its clubs include Mansion and SET), explains "door policy."
Whether you get past the rope depends on "what kind of vibe you're going to contribute to the party," he says. It helps if you look "fun, hip, stylish."
Quieter quaffing goes on in the softly lit, gold-curtained bar of the new David Bouley Evolution restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. Here, a "bar chef" concocts drinks as complex as gourmet dishes with ingredients such as elderflower and lemongrass.
Evolution, featuring the creations of star New York chef Bouley, is attracting a formal-dining crowd that doesn't blink at $300-for-two tabs.
It's part of an expanding menu of high-end dining that could turn the tables on the area's rep for uneven food and service. "Miami's had a problem with consistency in restaurants," Buckley says. "Every time you go to one, you never know what you're going to get."
Table 8, the East Coast sister of an L.A. celeb favorite, stars rising chef Govind Armstrong's cuisine, including a memorable but pricey ($22) raw bluefin tuna appetizer with hearts of palm marinated in sea water nesting on a bed of mashed avocado. If you wear dark clothes, waiters ceremoniously proffer black napkins to avoid unsightly lint from the white ones.
Thoughtful touch — but a steady diet of fabulousness can bring on luxury heartburn.
In that case, do what celebs seeking local flavor (including Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake before their split) have done. Go south on Collins Avenue and take a seat at the unassuming Cuban restaurant Puerto Sagua. Within 10 minutes, a platter of roast chicken, black beans and rice, and fried plantains — $7.25 — arrives.
That's less time than it takes to attract a server's attention at many a trendy South Beach cafe.

I have 41 <select> fields in a form. When a user makes any selection or change to any dropdown I want to do ajax and send the values of 41 dropdown's to a php page which will compute the values and return a single value which should be displayed in a div.
I don't want ready made code, please just push me in the correct direction.
Do you want to know how to write the PHP code that computes the value?Or do you need help with the javascript part? In that case, I'll ask for the thread to be moved to the JS forum, where you'll probably be able to get more help.
I want help with javascript part.
One of the easy ways to use ajax us via a library that handles much of the work for you, such as jQuery and the [$.post() or [url="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/"]$.ajax()](http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/) commands.
If instead though you want to learn how to do ajax code yourself, one of the best resources that we can show you is the [Bulletproof Ajax book, which also makes all of the [url="http://bulletproofajax.com/code/"]code and working examples](http://bulletproofajax.com/) freely available from the book.
