Our text for this fourth message in this series implies the beginning of a neighborhood. This particular neighborhood is of a spiritual nature, but retains many of the aspects of a physical one. The Holy Ghost, like a wind, has blown through the upper room, and has filled those 120 believers with power from on high. Being filled, now they will begin to broadcast the good news that God is going to build a neighborhood on earth, and He will begin right here in Jerusalem. He has planted and powered this vision into the minds, hearts and souls of the upper room dwellers. News of this new neighborhood is spreading like a wild fire, and soon, new residents will be setting up housekeeping in this newly developing scene. As we view this scene, we can feel the excitement and electricity. Everyone is busy broadcasting and building the greatest neighborhood that will ever exist on planet earth. All the equipment, supplies and resources have been made available by the Holy Ghost, who remains indwelt in the believers, and serves as the neighborhood manager.

Once again the specter of Apple (AAPL) will loom large at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, which opens Tuesday in Las Vegas, even though the company doesn't exhibit there.
Major TV makers such as LG Electronics, Samsung, Sharp and Sony (SNE) will be unveiling their newest televisions, knowing that Apple is expected to enter the market with its rumored iTV later this year. Apple's late CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs had been working on a new television before he died in October.
Observers speculate the TV could feature the company's Siri speech-recognition technology, customizable apps and an over-the-top TV service to compete with online offerings like Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu.
Apple's Jobs wanted to bring simplicity to the living room TV, which is now cluttered with set-top boxes, cables and remotes.
Meanwhile, personal computer companies at CES will be responding to Apple's popular MacBook Air ultrathin and light notebook and iPad media tablets.
The 2012 CES is expected to see a flurry of ultrabook laptops using Intel (INTC) processors and running Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows operating system to compete with the MacBook Air. Up to 50 ultrabook models will be unveiled at the trade show, which runs through Friday.
Electronics vendors also will be touting a new generation of tablets running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system, especially the latest flavor called "Ice Cream Sandwich," or version 4.0. Many will show off media tablets priced to undercut Apple's starting price of $499 for the iPad 2.
"Apple has been a major presence at the show for a number of years without exhibiting," said Marjorie Costello, editor and publisher of CE Online News. "Apple has this overwhelming influence. You know, the threat of Apple and what is Apple going to do?"
In prior years, CES vendors have scrambled to respond to Apple's iPod, iPhone and iPad. "This year, the TV industry is waiting to see if they really do deliver what's being called the iTV," she said.
TV makers will innovate regardless of what Apple does, says Stephen Baker, an analyst with the NPD Group. "Chasing a ghost is a losing cause," he said.
Several vendors are partnering with Google to add Google TV to their sets, Baker says. LG, Samsung and Vizio are among the TV makers expected to debut second-generation Google TV products, joining early partner Sony.
TV vendors are making their sets smarter, with the ability to add Internet apps and stream video.
TV makers also will trot out improved displays, such as large OLED screens, known for their bright colors, low power consumption and superthin designs. LG and Samsung are expected to show off 55-inch OLED screens.
"Up until now, the larger-screen OLED TVs have been trade show curiosities," Costello said. OLED displays have been notoriously difficult to make in large screen sizes at a reasonable cost, she says. Manufacturers must work out production and price issues, she says.
Other display developments include so-called 4K or ultra-high-definition TVs, she says. They feature four times the resolution of today's 1080p HD sets.
Vendors will continue to promote 3-D televisions, some using active-shutter, or battery-powered, glasses and others using passive, movie theater-style, 3-D glasses. Some manufacturers could show ultra-high-definition TVs that can double as glasses-free, 3-D sets.
Microsoft will use CES to build anticipation for the launch this year of Windows 8, the latest version of its flagship computer operating system. Microsoft is building a version of Windows 8 that can run on low-power ARM (ARMH)-based processors for tablets.
"I expect to see many Windows 8 demos, both on Intel and ARM-based processors," said John Elliott, a partner at consulting firm Accenture (ACN). Windows 8 will show up on ultrabooks and tablets at the show, he says.
Tablets and ultrabooks are hot with consumers now because of their portability, instant-on and always-connected Internet capabilities. So Microsoft needs to have a play in both of those markets, Elliott says.
In tablets, Microsoft has its biggest opportunity with business and enterprise customers, Elliott says.
"There's a gap there," he said. "The iPad isn't designed to address the enterprise. And we haven't seen that on an Android tablet yet. So there's an opportunity for Microsoft with Window 8 to provide something of real value."
The Consumer Electronics Association, which sponsors CES, estimates this year's show will draw more than 140,000 attendees.
Pundits look to CES as an indicator of the health of the consumer electronics industry. But with the recently announced departure of Microsoft from the show starting next year, industry watchers will be gauging the health and future of CES itself at the 2012 show.

Atlanta, GA
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
Jesus is the Sacrifice for you.
I've been creating art for most of my life, making things is just part of what I do. I've taught art for over thirty years. Over time the media changes but I always find ways of expressing myself whether in 2-D or 3-D or through the music I play. It's a blessing to to be able to play guitar and to lead worship at my church or to create art. Within each of us God has placed a desire to praise Him. For me, every song I play and each work of art that I create are an expression of my praise given back to Him for the grace that He has given to me. I have much to be thankful for. I've been richly blessed.

I first made my withdrawal to Skrill on the 16th April and sent documents (ID and proof of address) to the casino later the same day. After lots of chasing them by email I got a reply on the 30th saying that payment was delayed due to the weekend and I'd receive the money soon! Since then I have chased and chased. Last week they finally replied saying my payment had been sent for processing... that was 8 days ago and still nothing!! So frustrating, will they EVER pay me??
Dear 1TheoR1,
Is there any news about this complaint? Did you got your founds?
Hi 1TheoR1,
We are still waiting on your skrill statement showing the deposit made to the casino.

Dear @1TheoR1,
Did you submit required statement to the casino?
Dear VIP Room Casino,
You never said you were waiting on a Skrill statement in all the times I chased you - you just kept saying my payment was on it's way. I've just logged in and not only is the money I withdrew back in my balance (argh!!!!) but the Skrill statement I uploaded says it's not been approved (says 'false' under Approved).
So, perhaps you can tell me what is wrong with the statement I uploaded so we can finally resolve this issue?
Thank you...
Guys still no word from you - I don't know what you want from me? I uploaded my Skrill screenshot so why was it not approved? Please let me know so we can sort this!
Dear @VIP Room Casino,
Any update about this issue? Thank you.
This case has been reopened upon casino's request and we would like to give it one last chance for a successful resolution.

Just a different attitude, having fun, trying to bring fun back to it again. Just smiling, laughing.
Has it been hard to keep that fun attitude with the ups and downs you've experienced this season?
Maybe at times. It's just hard when you're not playing well to keep that positive attitude. That's the one thing I do need to work on - staying positive when the shots aren't falling and try to figure out a way to do other things.
As you came out of the tunnel, you could be heard saying "I got my swag' on." The whole team seemed to have that tonight - something that didn't seem apparent in the game at Wake Forest. What changed?
We're just trying to have fun and play with a swag', because we are a good team and maybe we forget that at times -- how talented we are. We need to start playing like that and back it up.
And how does that approach make a difference for you personally?
That makes a lot of difference because my mental game is what I'm working on the most. And having swag' is all about how you mentally [approach] things. Just having swag' and being mentally tough when you're on the court really helps.
Early in the season, when you were having big games and things seemed to be coming easily for you, you said it would be after your first rough patch that you could really assess yourself.
I was struggling with it. When I'm at practice I'm still working hard, when I come here to the Dean Dome and I'm lifting weights. But when I go home is when I really struggle and think about things and how I really need to pick it back up. I'm just trying not to be so tough on myself about it and just leave it in God's hands and let him take care of everything and keep working hard. There's nothing you can replace with working hard.
After tonight's win, where do you feel the team is at right now -- do you think you're on your way to getting back to playing at the top of your game?
Yeah, definitely. We always want to improve and get better on the defensive end, so that's something we're going to have to do. That's what will separate us from being really great is being able to stop people and we did that in the second half. We got Wayne going back, got me going back and everybody is getting going, so that's a good sign.
What's the story behind starting to wear the undershirt?
No story -- just comfortable playing with it on. That's all.

Database Encryption and Decryption
Definition - What does Database Encryption and Decryption mean?
Database encryption is the process of converting data, within a database, in plain text format into a meaningless cipher text by means of a suitable algorithm.
Database decryption is converting the meaningless cipher text into the original information using keys generated by the encryption algorithms.
Database encryption can be provided at the file or column level.
Techopedia explains Database Encryption and Decryption
Encryption of a database is costly and requires more storage space than the original data. The steps in encrypting a database are:
- Determine the criticality of the need for encryption
- Determine what data needs to be encrypted
- Determine which algorithms best suit the encryption standard
- Determine how the keys will be managed
Numerous algorithms are used for encryption. These algorithms generate keys related to the encrypted data. These keys set a link between the encryption and decryption procedures. The encrypted data can be decrypted only by using these keys.
Different databases, such as SQL, Oracle, Access and DB2, have unique encryption and decryption methods.

The US and Japan will work together to prevent any attempt by China to change the status quo in the Asia-Pacific region, the US vice-president, Joe Biden, has said, on a visit to north-east Asia.
His comments came at the start of a week-long trip that will be dominated by rising tensions between China and Japan over a territorial dispute.
Biden, who will visit Japan, China and South Korea, is seeking to avoid escalation in the dispute, which intensified late last month when Beijing imposed an air defence identification zone (Adiz)] in an area of the East China Sea that includes the Senkaku islands – known as the Diaoyu islands in China – which Japan and China both lay claim to.
Washington has been downplaying reports of disagreements between the US and Japan over the issue; a senior administration official travelling with Biden insisted there was "no daylight" between the two countries.
Earlier in the day, Biden told reporters in Tokyo that the US-Japanese security arrangement was "the cornerstone of security not merely in the Pacific basic but the cornerstone upon which our security is built for the next 20 years or more".
Biden is accompanied on the Japanese-leg of the trip by Caroline Kennedy, the newly appointed US ambassador. A second senior official said the US intended to call on China to "exercise restraint" and "avoid any other destabilising actions", including a new declarations of air defence zones.
However, Biden and officials travelling with him have stopped short of calling on Beijing to "rescind" its declaration – a demand made by the state department on Monday.
Speaking in Tokyo at the start of a visit that was supposed to have focused on strengthening economic ties between the US and the region, Biden said he was "deeply concerned" about China's abrupt imposition of the zone, saying it would raise regional tensions and increase the risk of accidents and miscalculation.
Biden said he would raise US concerns with "great specificity" when he met the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, in Beijing later this week.
He stopped short of calling on Beijing to scrap the zone, calling for better communication between Japan and China, whose leaders have not held official talks since taking office. But he said China's move had "raised regional tensions and increased the risk of accidents and miscalculation".
China insisted it would not rescind the procedures governing the air defence zone, despite US calls for it to do so.
"The fact that China's announcement has caused confusion and increased the risk of accidents only further underscores the validity of concerns and the need for China to rescind the procedures," Jen Psaki, the chief spokeswoman for the state department, said on Monday.
The White House spokesman, Jay Carney, described the Chinese announcement of the zone nine days ago as "a provocative attempt to unilaterally change the status quo" that increased the risk of inadvertent confrontation.
While many countries – including the US and Japan – have similar zones, China's is controversial because it includes airspace over the disputed islands.
But on Tuesday the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, told reporters: "It is not China that has escalated the regional tensions. It is that some countries keep playing on the issue for their selfish gains, and China is firmly opposed to them doing that."
Hong urged other countries to respect China's actions, which he described as "justifiable and lawful". He added: "China established it [the zone] to safeguard sovereignty and the freedom and order of flight in the related airspace."
Concerns have grown of an accidental confrontation that could escalate. China said last week it had scrambled jets to monitor flights in the airspace by the US and Japan.
But Shen Dingli, an expert at Fudan University in Shanghai on US-China relations, said: "The US has not sent armed aircraft … China in turn does not send its fighters to fly towards B-52s."
He added: "There is no need to resolve the dispute: the dispute does not exist. The US is messing around by not observing China's unilateral action. But in a similar way, China will soon be in a position to reciprocate by not observing [the US] Adiz."
China's defence ministry said in a statement posted on its website on Tuesday that countries whose aircraft were not reporting their flight plans to China were "irresponsible". But it added that China considered the zone to be one of co-operation rather than confrontation.
The zone covers more than 600 miles from north to south, above international waters separating China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. China says all aircraft entering the zone must notify the Chinese authorities beforehand or face unspecified "emergency defensive measures". The rules apply to all aircraft passing through the zone, not just those heading towards Chinese airspace.
Japan and the US believe the zone is an attempt by China to assert control over the islands.
Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, said he and Biden had "confirmed we should not tolerate any attempt by China to change the status quo unilaterally by force".
Biden flew into Tokyo late on Monday faced with the delicate task of avoiding provoking China while demonstrating support for Japan, its main ally in a region already nervous about Chinese naval aggression and North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
Behind US pleas for Japan and China to reduce tensions lie fears that an accident or miscalculation could quickly escalate into armed conflict.
The US raised hackles in Tokyo when it emerged that three US civilian airlines, acting on government advice, were complying with Chinese regulations and identifying their aircraft before flying through the zone.
US officials insisted, however, that the move did "not indicate US government acceptance of China's requirements". To underline Washington's opposition, two B-52 bombers flew into the area last week without notifying Chinese authorities. Japanese and South Korean military jets also flew through the zone in defiance of Chinese regulations.
But the decision to advise US civilian airlines to comply was less than the unequivocal show of support that Japan had hoped for. Japan, by contrast, has urged Japanese airlines to ignore China's demands to submit flight plans in advance.
"China's declaration of an air defence identification zone is an attempt to unilaterally change the status quo, which can invite unexpected situations and is an extremely dangerous act," Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, told reporters before Biden's meeting with Abe.
"Japan and the United States share the position that China's Adiz is unacceptable … I think [Biden] will head to China to discuss various issues, including this, with his understanding of Japan's position."
On Monday, Chinese officials attempted to exploit divergences in the approaches of Washington and Tokyo. Hong Lei, a foreign ministry spokesman, told reporters in Beijing the US had showed a "constructive attitude" but dismissed Japan's "erroneous actions".
In an editorial, the Global Times, a tabloid published by the Chinese Communist party's official People's Daily, cautioned Biden against offering unrestrained support for Japan's position on the air defence zone.
"The only choice he has if he wants a successful trip [to China] is not to go too far in his words over there," it said. "If he openly supports Tokyo and wants to 'send an expedition to punish' Beijing, the Chinese people won't accept it."
Washington has refused to take sides in the simmering dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, a strategically important archipelago surrounded by rich fishing grounds and potentially large gas and mineral deposits.
But the US recognises Japan's administrative control over the territories – reinforced just over a year ago, when Japan's government effectively nationalised the islands – and is obliged by its bilateral security treaty with Japan to defend its ally, should the diplomatic row escalate.

If you have a spare ten minutes and a pillowcase, you can create a pretty half-apron for the kitchen. Just follow this tutorial from Betz White. Pick up a pillowcase at the thrift store with a floral pattern, find some coordinating ribbon, and you are all set. Find this sewing tutorial and 18 other Mother's Day crafts in the Mother's Day Crafts: Blogger Edition 2010 eBook.
- Pillowcase
- 2 yards of ribbon
- Sewing machine
Lay out your pillowcase. Fold up the bottom edge 8". Top stitch along the folded edge at 1/4". (The stitched edge will become the top edge of the pockets.)
Turn the pillowcase over and fold the bottom up another 8". There will be 3 layers of pillowcase.
Pin the layers together and top stitch around the sides and bottom edges. Mark a line down the middle of the front pocket, pin and stitch.
Lay about 60" of 1" wide ribbon across the top edge of the apron centering it on the length of the ribbon. Pin in place. Topstitch ribbon at the top edge, bottom edge and across ribbon at sides of apron.
Tie it on, use it, put stuff in the pockets, look cute...you know the drill. :)

This apron looks cute, and more important, its easy to make! I know I will make a bunch of these aprons, for my little students. They can use an apron while painting. But I think I will add one more pillow case and sew it somehow for covering the chest area. Thanks for the idea!

I see so many pillowcases at yard sales or thrift stores or even clearance bins that are so cheap but they do not match my bedroom dcor so I pass them up but now I know that I can use them for aprons. You can never have enough. Aprons are not just for in the kitchen but can be worn for painting or crafting to keep your clothes clean. I love the big wide pocket in the front to hold things. They can be made for kids or adults. So super fast and easy using a pillowcase and ribbon. Lets make some.

I love this craft, because you can do it so many different ways. If you want to do this project with younger children, you can use fabric glue instead of using a sewing machine. If you have a group of children that are ready to learn on a sewing machine, this is a perfect beginners project for all ages. I never thought of using a pillowcase, this is such an awesome idea. Thank you so much for sharing!

Sophia: A good nights sleep?Mature
We were sat in someone's house, or at least it used to be before the world went to hell. Scott and I were in one of the bedrooms whilst his Mum, Dad and little brother Patrick where downstairs. All the windows where boarded up and the only way in and out was the front door. I was curled up in the corner. Pictures of Maggie's death running through my mind. It wasn't like she'd been the first person we'd lost but it was certainly the hardest, she was only 9. So innocent and so trusting. I'd picked her up on a run into town for supplies, she'd been hiding in an old dump site and I'd told her she could stay with us but a few days later on a move she'd gotten killed.
It was my fault, I should have checked better. I'd scouted ahead to make sure our path was clear and in a rush I hadn't checked behind the security door. Everyone else had gotten through and I was taking up the back with Maggie. The thing jumped out the door, taking us both down. I managed to scramble free but Maggie wasn't strong enough. The clearest thing I could remember where her screams for me, cut off by the tearing of her flesh as the freak bit into her. Scott and his Dad had to drag me back as all I could think of was saving Maggie, even though it was too late.
I woke with a start, disoriented I looked around trying to establish where the hell I was. It looked like an old shop, the front door was blocked up and I was lead on an old counter, my elbow cleaned and bandaged up. I rubbed my eyes and looked around again spotting Cancer slumped asleep in a chair off to the side. I smiled and took the opportunity to look at him properly. He was cute, especially now he finally looked relaxed. I looked up at the barricaded door, as it thudded a few times.
"whu...?" Cancer stirred and jolted awake
"wakey wakey," I smiled, sliding off the counter being careful of my elbow
"you ok?" Cancer watched me intently, I assumed looking for any sign that I was going to become one of them.
"yeah, just a bit sore. I think I was lucky," I looked down at my elbow, gently pulling off the dressing to reveal a 15 centimeter long slash across it. I delved into my rucksack, pulling out a bottle of orange liquid which I quickly splashed onto it "Shit," I groaned as the lukewarm fluid stung. I reattached the dressing and flexed my arm gently "should keep away some of the more ordinary infections," I looked back at Cancer, "looks like this is the second time I owe you. Gunna have to think of a way to repay you," I winked and wandered over to a small gap in the window, It was dark and the where about 20 odd walkers stumbling round in the street. There was no way we were getting out tonight.
I looked back at the shop, trying to remember why it seemed so familiar. Suddenly it dawned on me, I used to work here. "we're going to have to bed down for the night. There are too many of those freaks out there and to be honest I could do with a proper night sleep for once." I looked at Cancer and realised what that meant. Sleeping with him, or at the very least in the same room as him. I blushed at looked away to search for the door that I knew lead to the upper floors.

Casey - Revenge
I ate Todd. He tasted good. I can't think no good no more. Virus. Antidote no work.
Heard radio, say no cure. Guess it true. Hungry again, more Todd.
The sound of crunching and slurping continues for several minutes.
Maybe I stay thinking now because of antidote. I not like others. Not whole cure, part cure. Heart still beat but slow, like brain thoughts.
Others ignore me, maybe because I am like them now. But I different. Not afraid now, no more speak in radio. You liar no-name! I find you, you give cure, make better! I eat you if don't!
I just want be me again!
The sound of slurping and crunching resumes until the channel suddenly becomes static.

In order to demo Silverlight I created a big lump of XAML that allows me to show most of the core capabilities and play around with things like transforms, brushes, storyboards and the like. It's just an easy way to be able to show some of the capabilities of Silverlight. One problem I faced was that the end result was a bit cluttered – we tend to demo at 1024×768 resolution and that doesn't give you much screen real estate to play with. So I thought I'd organise things in a tab control.
Initially I thought of building a Silverlight tab control but I quickly realised that this was going to take more time than I had available so instead I opted for DHTML. Using this excellent article on HTML Dog as a starting point I quickly built a tab control and the JavaScript to make it function and dynamically change the styles on the tabs to give the illusion of tab switching. Of course I also had to write some code to switch my XAML Canvases on and off (each feature I want to show has its own Canvas). As I'm using Silverlight 1.1, that code was written in C#. What an idiot (I thought), why not just move all the HTML stuff into C# too. So I threw away my JavaScript and re-wrote my tab control in C# using the HTML capabilities in Silverlight.
Those capabilities live in the System.Windows.Broswer namespace which has classes such as HtmlPage, HtmlDocument and HtmlElement. A line of C# code such as:
private HtmlElement TabHolder = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementByID("TabHolder");
allows me to grab hold of my "TabHolder" element (you're going to want to see the HTML now aren't you?):

Primitives

Images

Brushes

Video

Animations

Complex

And I can then access the HtmlElement.Children collection of my TabHolder element to access the
 elements. I give each of these an ID and hook up an event handler to it (all in C#). A bit like this:
private void InitialiseTabs()
int j = 0;
foreach (HtmlElement li in TabHolder.Children)
li.ID = "Canvas_" + j++.ToString();
li.AttachEvent("onclick", new EventHandler(this.HandleTabChange));
This is very cool. I'm now writing all my Silverlight application in C# and it still allows me to access the browser DOM and maniplate elements, respond to events etc. I like this!
Imagine my surprise then when I fired up my application in FireFox and instead of looking like this:
Instead it looked like this:
and all the tab functionality was broken.
I fired up the debugger and 100% failed to get any breakpoints to hit in FireFox. For the record this was 100% my own fault. Anyway, it's pretty easy to get this working:
- Set a breakpoint in your managed code
- Fire up the application in FireFox (easiest thing I find to do is right-click on the page you want and select "Browse with…" then select FireFox
- In VS, select "Debug -> Attach to Process"
- Make sure the "Attach To" code type is set to automatic
- Attach to the relevant FireFox instance
- As my breakpoint was in the Load handler, I had to reload the page in FireFox. This is where my problems started because for whatever reason, F5 wasn't reloading the page so my breakpoints weren't being hit. But not to worry, that's sorted out now.. 🙂
TabHolder.Children.Count was 6 in IE (and hence worked) but 13 in FireFox (this broke various things including using the tab number as an index into the Children collection). What's happening is that FireFox treats whitespace in the source HTML as an element so you get extra text elements in the DOM if you format your HTML source the way I have.
One option is to reformat your source (not elegant). I preferred to add a check in my foreach to ensure the HtmlElement was a
 before setting the ID and attaching the event handler. Trouble is I couldn't find a good way to do this. In the end I used the Children.Count property as my
 elements have an  child. If you try to use the TagName property, an exception will be thrown for the text elements.
Having sorted that out, it all works a treat. You can even take a look at it if you're interested. As part of the demo I change various properties of the elements such as transforms, brushes etc so you can see the full range of effects but you get the general idea.

Forex Flash: EUR/USD to enter sell-off at 1.3100/40 - Commerzbank
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Commerzbank analysts expect the 1.3100 mark and the three month resistance line at 1.3121, the 1.3127 current December high and the 1.3140 October peak to provoke a sell-off back towards the psychological 1.3000 region. "Failure here will probably kick start a slide back to the 1.2880/76 support area", wrote analyst Axel Rudolph, pointing to key support at 1.2839 (2011-2012 support line). "Failure here should provoke losses to 1.2783, the 200 day moving average and then the November and January lows at 1.2661/24", Rudolph added.

Kim Kardashian Mourns the Death of Her Cat Mercy
It's just three months ago when Kim Kardashian got a collective "awww" when she took home a cute snow-white kitten Mercy, but now the adorable cat has just died. "It is with deep sadness that I have to tell you all that my kitten, Mercy, has passed away. My heart is completely broken," she announced the sad news on her new blog post.
Kim found out she's allergic to cat after she got Mercy. "I had never lived with a cat before and so I had no idea that I was allergic. I thought that it might pass, but after a few weeks I decided to go visit two separate allergists, one of whom said my allergies wouldn't get any better unless I started taking injections," she explained.
"I had fallen SO in love with Mercy that I wanted to try everything I could to keep her, but I didn't think it was safe to resort to injections, and it wasn't fair on Mercy, because I couldn't play with her or give her as much attention as I wanted to. Mercy deserved a mom who could really give her the time and affection she deserved."
The reality TV star then gave Mercy to Khloe Kardashian's assistant who just lost her own cat. A couple weeks later, Mercy got very sick due to "a stomach problem that we weren't aware of." Kim said, "Her stomach had filled with fluid and the doctor said she had a rare stomach cancer and that there was nothing we could do for her."
"Poor little Mercy died the very next day. It broke not only my heart that little Mercy died at only four months old, but Sydney's too," the 32-year-old TV star concluded. "Mercy was a gentle and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much. Thanks to Sydney for making Mercy's short life one filled with love."
According to E! News, the cat died of "a cancer-like virus often associated with breeding."

Behind Enemy Lines
Isana is a strong and independant young woman, living in a small cottage in a quiet village with her father and brother. Then war hits her country and she is left alone and frustrated, wanting to help her country, until a complete stranger offers her a job spying for the army.
Rain fell from the black sky, soaking the ground and the cloaked messenger as he ran up the steps of the royal palace, his message engraved onto his memory. He banged on the doors at the top of the stairs, yelling to be let in. The door creaked open to reveal a guard dressed in full armour and looking very serious.
'I'm here with an important message for the King.' The messenger blinked away the raindrops, hoping he would be let in out of the rain sooner rather than later.
'Papers,' the guard grunted, holding out his hand. With a groan, the messenger pulled out his identification papers from the lining of his cloak and handed them to the guard, who checked them and nodded, indicating that he could enter. 'The King is with his Council and will not be able to speak to you for a few hours.'
'Tell him it is urgent and regarding the skirmishes along our eastern border with Cumri.' The guard nodded and marched down the corridor towards the King's council chamber. He returned a few minutes later, a stern look on his face. 'His Majesty thanks you but insists you have to wait until he has finished his session with the council before you give him your message.'
'But this is an emergency,' the messenger insisted, annoyance and frustration building up inside him. 'Does he not understand that?'
'His Majesty fully understands that this matter is urgent but-'
'Then he won't object to seeing me now.' The messenger, pushed past the guard and ran own the corridor towards the council chamber.
'You can't just go in there,' the guard protested but he was too late, the messenger threw open the doors and strode into the relatively small room. Every face in the room turned to look at him in astonishment and confusion. The King, seated at the head of the council stood to address the messenger.
'I thought I said we would speak after the council meeting had finished.'
'Excuse me your Majesty but this is too urgent a matter to wait. Cumrian forces have attacked our eastern border.'
'So there has been another skirmish,' the King shrugged. 'What of it?'
'Not another skirmish your Majesty, a full scale attack on our eastern border. All of the guards at my post are dead now, killed by Cumrian soldiers as the claimed our land and it is not an isolated incident. Yesterday a large group of armed Cumrian men attacked the post only a few miles from ours and only two men escaped with their lives. One was so badly wounded he died in the early hours of this evening. The Cumrian's are moving their forces towards this city. This is an invasion.'
The King sat in silence for what felt like an eternity, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the messenger.
Finally the man sitting to the left of the King spoke. 'Your Majesty,' he whispered, 'Jarett. You need to act now or we could lose even more lives.' Jarett snapped out of his thoughts and was immediately on his feet.
'Call in all our forces, any able bodied man will be conscripted.'
'But your Majesty,' one councillor interrupted, 'that's hundreds of thousands of men, not all of them trained, if you send them out to fight then they'll be slaughtered, despite the large numbers.'
Jarett ran his hands through his hair, thinking hard about what to do next. 'Then we'll train them.'
The messenger, feeling that his work was done, bowed respectfully to the King before leaving the councillors to argue the matter out among themselves.

McDowell shares second-round lead at Scottish Open
INVERNESS, Scotland Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell fired a stunning 8-under 64 to race into a three-way share of the second-round lead at the Scottish Open before thunderstorms and heavy rain brought an early end to play at Castle Stuart on Friday.
The 2010 U.S. Open champion fired six birdies and an eagle for his best round on the European Tour since November, leaving him tied with Scottish pair Scott Jamieson and Peter Whiteford on 11 under par.
RESULTS: Scottish Open leaderboard
SCHEDULE: This week in golf
The trio were among the morning starters who found scoring easy in still, dry conditions that left the Highlands links course defenseless.
Those out in the afternoon — including overnight leaders Lee Westwood and Mark Tullo, as well as top-ranked Luke Donald— expecting more of the same were to be disappointed, however, as storms, the threat of lightning and rain caused two stoppages totaling almost three hours.
Organizers abandoned play at 6.53 p.m. local time (1753 GMT), shortly after the afternoon starters had been forced in for a second time after a first delay of more than two hours. The second round will resume at 0600 GMT on Saturday.
Westwood and Chilean underdog Tullo remained on their overnight score of 7 under par after 11 and seven holes, respectively, with Donald having joined them after picking up two shots on his front nine.
They were still four shots behind the leaders, who ripped through the links course in perfect early conditions.
"It's nice to get the 'low' juices flowing," McDowell, the winner of the tournament in 2008, said after his round. "We talked about someone doing a 60 this morning, it's that easy."
McDowell started his second round in joint 30th position on 3 under and didn't drop a shot en route to the best score of the day, along with playing partner Angel Cabrera of Argentina and 1999 British Open winner Paul Lawrie, who were both on 9 under.
"I got to the course and realized conditions were easy and it was there for the taking," said McDowell. "Like any links course, if there's no wind the guys will take it apart."
McDowell went to the turn in 30 after starting at the 10th, and added more birdies on the second and seventh holes.
"It's probably going to take 20 under to win this week," McDowell said.
Jamieson, a European Tour rookie, should have been the outright leader but messed up the eighth hole — his 17th — by fluffing a short chip and then three-putting, posting a double bogey to halt his charge.
He had started in irrepressible mood, making five straight birdies from the 11th and then an eagle on the long 18th.
Spain's Jose Manuel Lara (66) was a shot behind the leaders, while Cabrera, Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts (66) and Lawrie were a further stroke back.
Other high-profile players in contention after completing their second rounds were eighth-ranked Matt Kuchar of the United States and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington (both 8 under), with two-time Scottish Open champion Ernie Els of South Africa another stroke adrift.
Kuchar's 66 ensured there will be American representation this weekend, but his fellow countrymen weren't faring so well.
Sixth-ranked Phil Mickelson's came home in 32 for a 67, putting the left-hander on 4 under — which should just make the cut. The Heritage winner Brandt Snedeker — 1 under after a second-round 66 — and Anthony Kang (3 under) may miss out, however.
Colin Montgomerie, needing a top-five finish to stand a chance of qualifying for next week's British Open, picked up one shot on his opening nine holes and was on 6 under before the second stoppage.

How I Write 20 Blog Posts Every Month

What an exciting three months OneNote 2007 has had out in the marketplace. By every measure OneNote 2007 is a hit! Check out this blog activity for one thing:
Blog posts containing "OneNote" over the last 360 days taken May 9 (from Technorati)
Traditionally many people measure a product's success by a particular metric: the number of units sold. But there are many other metrics to use: of course one is "profit" – if you gave away all those units for a song (or for free!), you didn't make any money. Also its not clear how dedicated those customers are. Conversely if you held the price high enough and people bought a lot of it, you have a good sense that people see value in the product.
Another measure is usage. You want to see that people are really using your product. That means they are getting value out of it, and also indicates loyalty.
Another measure is "buzz" like the blog measure above. Are people talking about your product? If so, that's also a good sign. Notice there is a spike not just on the "news" of availability (around Jan 30) but there are higher spikes later – that's when people are using the product and talking about it. For examples of what people are saying, check out Dan's "blog roundup" posts: January, February, March, April. Some of my favorite quotes:
"OneNote 2007 sharing is indistinguishable from magic"
"I just purchased a copy of Microsoft OneNote, my life will never be the same."
But those are tame. Why not really go for it?
"The Greatest Invention in Human History? I vote for Microsoft OneNote"
"I need Office OneNote 2007 to live."
And for the you-know-who crowd:
"I can't believe I'm so excited over some program that M$ came up with. It's probably just all the adrenaline that's been pumping through me lately."
And we're just getting started!
There are other measures. For software there is also "deployment" – many companies have purchased long term contracts with Microsoft for most or all of our latest software, but they don't always get around to putting the new stuff on their users' machines since they have a lot of work to do. So we care about whether that has happened or not since it is a measure of how much they value the new stuff.
I can't share specific sales figures with you all and they don't tell the whole story anyway (there's that "deployment issue" plus lots of people get OneNote on their laptop but don't know it, and so on). I do want to show the existing trends we're seeing however.
First, it's worth noting that OneNote 2003 (the first release) was a success in its own right. A new product that costs money and isn't a visible lifestyle item (e.g. software to get work done vs. an iPod) takes time to build its user base. And as I said, the nice thing about free products or services is that they can build users fast, but because they are free their users often have no special investment in the service. OneNote 2003 shipped well over 10million units and racked up several million actual users over the 3 years it was on the market (as best we can tell). Pretty good for a whole new "category" of software most people didn't know about or know they needed, with next to no marketing budget and not being included in any Office Suite! By contrast, the top web productivity apps and suites that everyone writes about because they're "hot" all have less than 500K users, most of them far less (I can't tell you how we know that though!)
Our plans for OneNote are for it to build momentum like "rolling thunder" over several years. Each release retains users from the one before and adds proportionally more. The great majority of people only try a new thing when their friends recommend it, and that takes some time. If you think about how an application like PowerPoint went from obscurity to ubiquitous over the course of a few years – that's the idea.
Fortunately, in addition to raving fans and sales figures, we are able to get more quantitative and explicit measurements on popularity. One way is through the Customer Experience Improvement Program. Some of you may know this – it is the little balloon that pops up to ask you if we can (anonymously and in aggregate) track which commands you use in the application, how long you use the application, etc. We use this data to make the product better in the future, but it is also a handy measure of overall activity. CEIP data is returned to us in the form of "sessions" which are fixed length blocks of time containing data.
Here's where it really gets exciting. Although we can't know for sure how many users these session counts represent, we think variables like what % of the users have signed up for the program are about the same for each release, which makes them comparable. Look at these relative numbers!
Number of CEIP sessions added over
Do you need a chart? Can someone say hockey stick?
How many users is this? It's really hard to say since it depends on people agreeing to join the program which is off by default. Only a tiny fraction actually send us data. But it's a lot, and look at that trend!

De Marchi Classic Gloves
Like us, you probably never tire of studying the grainy black and white photographs documenting cycling's storied past. The images are often haunting, depicting riders low over their machines, grinding away in tall gears over rough, gravel roadways, relying on grit and sheer determination to propel them forward. Next time you look at these images, take a hard look at the equipment those boys were using. With the likes of Coppi and Bartali, you'll discover sew ups on their backs, wool everything, no helmets, cork bottle stoppers and, perhaps, raw knuckles exposed through the holes of their hand made leather gloves. If riders of the day were lucky enough to receive a pair of gloves from a sponsor, you can bet they were made like everything of the day: by hand. In an age where we rely on composites and microfibers, De Marchi decided to slow down a bit, take a breath, and dig into its archives to rediscover a few of the essentials that made cycling what it is today. As part of the archived collection, the Classic gloves De Marchi designed were made to the specifications of what riders were wearing before L'Alpe d'Huez was paved. The gloves were made from butter soft perforated leather, hand sewn in the UK. The palms received thick panels of leather wrapped padding, providing just the right amount of cushioning and support. At the cuffs, a contrasting 'V' panel was added to the fronts of the wrists, allowing you to easily pull them on, with period specific button closures at the rear. Additionally, large cutaways at the backs of the hands promote ventilation, and the exposed knuckle design provides you with excellent articulation. The De Marchi Classic Gloves are available in sizes X Small to 3X Large and in the color Cream.

Queen's Park Rangers are close to signing Joey Barton, Newcastle United's tempestuous, Nietzsche-tweeting midfielder, holding off interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Stoke City and Sunderland. Barton will leave Newcastle reluctantly, but will be welcomed in west London enthusiastically, not least by manager Neil Warnock.
Barton met Warnock in London yesterday and subsequently tweeted: "Going for a medical now, still no contract offer from NUFC... think that just about makes my mind up." He also added: "Don't want to leave Newcastle... I've made that clear but my hands are tied."
Spurs would seem to have offered the most high-profile platform for the once-capped Barton, but are only prepared to offer a one-year deal. Barton, 29 next week, would like longer. Sunderland's interest is equally intriguing given Barton's current club, but also an unlikely destination after the praise he has heaped upon Newcastle's fans.
Newcastle paid £5.7m in 2007 when Sam Allardyce was manager. He is still under contract but the club said Barton could leave on a free transfer after a pre-season row with manager, Alan Pardew, and criticism on twitter of the club's decision to allow Kevin Nolan to leave for West Ham.
Warnock would not be drawn on his chances of confirming Barton's signature but said: "It is great that we are even talking to players like that." Warnock, who yesterday sold central defender Kasper Gorkss to Reading, hopes to make two more signings before the weekend. A full-back is high among his priorities with Clint Hill suspended and Bradley Orr suffering a muscle injury in Tuesday's Carling Cup defeat to Rochdale. As well as Barton he has also been chasing two other England internationals, West Ham United's Scott Parker and Manchester City's Shaun Wright-Phillips.
In a further sign of the new possibilities at Loftus Road since Tony Fernandes took over, the club announced they are cutting ticket prices. They are also giving "significant" refunds on season tickets which are only one match old. Rangers' previous co-owner Bernie Ecclestone increased season ticket prices by almost 40 per cent this season. It is understood Ecclestone wanted to double prices but was persuaded not to by Warnock – who feared playing in front of an empty stadium – and Amit Bhattia, the vice-chairman. Bhattia subsequently resigned but has returned under Fernandes
The club's new CEO, Philip Beard, said: "These changes show how serious we are about taking the fans' views on board."
Beard also announced that the club would allow free entry for under-eights in specified areas, if with an adult paying full price. Lowest ticket price will be £25. "I'm delighted," said Warnock, "because I know how difficult it is for a lot of our supporters to make ends meet and still support their beloved Hoops."Reuse content
