Not only did he pick the wrong house, but also picked the wrong moment to ring your doorbell. That is, unless he WANTED to wet himself as he made a quick exit.
This is a discussion on Strange man at my door... within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I can't help but laugh in spite of myself after a strange encounter with a guy who I think is (at best) a scam artist ...
I can't help but laugh in spite of myself after a strange encounter with a guy who I think is (at best) a scam artist or (at worst) a would-be burglar/home invader/who-knows-what. I'll try to make a long story less lenthy:
The paramedic service I work for just issued us body armor to wear on-duty after a few scenarios with crew members being fired on/taken hostage. I picked mine up from the local police products store this afternoon. I have a shift tomorrow that has me leaving the house bright and early so I thought I'd unpack it, check it out and figure out where all the straps go today. So I put it all together, pop my button-up shirt off and put it on. As I'm walking toward the bathroom to admire my sexy self in the mirror, the doorbell rings.
I should maybe mention at this point that I'm carrying a Sig P220 IWB at about 3:00 outside the undershirt I'm wearing and plainly visible just below the bottom of the vest.
As I'm walking toward the door, the doorbell rings again--so instead of putting on the button-up shirt, I just answer the door looking like a wannabe soldier of fortune (or mall ninja). I figure at this point, it's either important or I'm getting irritated with an impatient salesman or missionary.
I look out the peephole, and a guy is standing on my porch, trying to peer in my kitchen window (blinds were closed) and seems genuinely surprised that the door is opening--and then stands open-mouthed and speechless as he looks me up and down.
He tries to explain that he's from "the roofing company" and tells me my wife called for a quote.
Recognizing a line of BS when I hear it, I say "Are you sure? What's the name, because I'm not married."
He stumbles and mumbles a little bit about my address numbers and I say "I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you. What's the name on the quote?"
I've noticed by now that he doesn't have a clipboard or any kind of paperwork and there's no vehicle parked on the street that doesn't belong to one of the neighbors. I ask him "What company did you say you're with?"
He kind of looks at me, cocks his head and turns to walk away. I call after him, "No, really, what company? I want to call your office."
As he starts down the block, I see my neighbor (a deputy) a few houses down and realize I've got his attention with my slightly loud and obnoxious yelling. Feeling slightly bolder knowing he's at least watching me and knowing he's more well-armed than me on his days off, I decide to see where my roofer goes. I walk to the end of the block and see the guy get in a car and drive off.
So I go chat with my neighbor and let him know what's what, and he tells me they've had a string of automobile break-ins in the middle of the day in the next subdivision over. I call dispatch, they send a local PD officer over and I make my report, complete with description of the guy and license plate of the car, then my neighbor comes over to chat with both of us and says he'll keep an eye out around the neighborhood for the car.
My only lasting thought from the whole thing is this--I hope he walked away thinking "holy crap, did I pick the wrong house." Maybe looking ridiculously tacti-cool worked to my advantage today.
Not only did he pick the wrong house, but also picked the wrong moment to ring your doorbell. That is, unless he WANTED to wet himself as he made a quick exit.

I think just being home and calling his bluff did the trick! Being dressed in "Soldier of Fortune" outfit probably just made the encounter all the more memorable. I doubt a lot of potential victims would go through what you did to follow through. Good for you. I need to try that next huckster comes to my door ... or Jehovah's Witness.

Awesome, now if he was smart ( which most are not) you shouldn't see him again. Yahoo.

If I answer the door to someone I don't know my shirt is tucked up over my gun for easy access or drawn & behind my leg. They don't see my gun but I am sure they have a good idea.
It takes me about 20 seconds to say no thanks & close the door. Never let a salesman get a run on the conversation.
The only door to door salesman I do business with are the neighborhood kids selling stuff for school.

Remember the old "things your burglar won' tell you" piece, one of them was, "I always knock first, If you answer the door I'll just ask for directions, if no one answers the door, I'll go in and help myself" I guess your burglar couldn't think of any thing better but something obviously a lie, but I believe your instincts were right, he was up to no good.

text: BEIJING, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect World Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: PWRD) on May 20 announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Its first-quarter revenues reached 891.1 million yuan ( 143.3 mln USD), marking a yearly rise of 44.2 percent. Overseas markets contributed to about one quarter of the company's total revenues. CNG statistics show that Perfect World has been the largest Chinese game exporter for seven straight years, with its game exports accounting for 40 percent of China's total. The favorable first-quarter results have largely met previous expectations. According to Perfect World CEO Robert Xiao, "The overseas development continued with good momentum, which suggests an initial success of the PWIN project launched last July." The global investment arm of Perfect World, PWIN mainly targets PC games and mobile games. To date, the company has launched several investment programs in the mobile Internet sector in markets like Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea. It has invested in 21 game-developing companies and studios focused on foreign markets while operating 16 games via partnership. The 21 companies have received Perfect World investment for their outstanding performances in sectors of mobile games, smart equipment, web games or console games. They boast cutting-edge technologies, talented teams or experience in developing hit games. Among them are Guangzhou-based Burstyx Studio, which owns an Open Source UI framework AsWing and an indigenously-developed Flash 3D engine, and Changsha-based Letong Digital Technology, whose very first little-advertised mobile game once rose to 22 nd place on the RPG chart of the iOS APP Store in the Chinese mainland, the 11th in South Korea and 13th in Taiwan. PWIN operates in the forms of investment and partnership. Via PWIN, Perfect World has operated numerous Chinese and foreign games. There are also other games operated by Perfect World that will soon begin making a contribution.

But in combat, you have to set that aside. Your superiors—non-commissioned officers— would watch your work to be sure you didn't get sloppy or lackadaisical."pastor resigns By Ron Maloney StaffWriter The senior pastor of Ttee of Life Church has resigned his position amid allegations of inappropriate behavior with a woman. A press release issued by LaM-oyne Davis, the church's financial adviser, doesn't say what the allegations against Mike Fehlauer were — or whether they had been proved It doesn't identify file woman allegedly involved. "With these allegations and circumstantial evidence, Senior Pastor Mike Fehlauer has chosen to resign," the news release stated. Fehlauer did not return calls in time for this story. Ttee of Life Church Administrator Tony Brubaker said he could not comment past the content of the news release. "I cannot tell you anything more than that," Brubaker said. "He felt that it would be best that he resign for the good of the church body." According to the news release, Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, announced the resignation to the congregation Sunday. "While this is disappointing news for us all, we understand that Thee of Life Church was not built on a man but is built on the word of God," Haggard was quoted in the release. "Because of this, the leadership and body ofTtee of Life Church are committed to continue the work to which the Lord has called us here in South Texas." Davis said Ttee of Life would begin the process of choosing a new senior pastor, and would be working on that over the next several weeks. "God has not changed his plan for Ttee of Life Church and he is faithful to complete the good work he began here," Davis said. Brubaker said the church would continue that work. "We'll be fine," he said Monday. "God's still in charge of the church and we'll be OK. His vision is still the vision that drives the church." Ttee of Life Church is a nondenominational church founded in 1981. It is located on the northbound side of Interstate 35 at the site of the former ROAM Open Air Market. Fehlauer, author of numerous articles and several books, served four years at Ttee of Life Church. CONTINUED FROM Page IA Travis: Unit brought everyone home deployed to Cuba to guard the fence at Guantanamo Bay, where he stayed for nearly a year. At the end of that, Travis signed up for a paramedic course and began the application process for becoming a San Antonio firefighter. Then, last May, his unit was activated again. This time, Travis would have to withdraw from the paramedic program and the firefighter application process. "I was surprised," Travis acknowledged "There's always talk it could happen, but they always tell you to keep on with your life. Then they call, and say, 'You have 72 hours to deploy...'." Still, even though he has so far spent more than two years on active duty during a "reserve" hitch, Travis said he has no complaints. First, he said, he knew the deal when he signed the paperwork. "I signed up for it and I agreed to it," he said. Secondly, he said he'd feel a little funny being home while his fellow Marines went to Iraq. Reserve units, Travis said, are different from active duty units because they are tied to a geographical area — in his case, Texas and Louisiana—and the people in the units work together for years and know one another well. "We've been together four years now," Travis said "I know all their families." Debbi said she was pretty unhappy to know her son would be going to Iraq because she'd been following the situation on the news and knew it would be different than in Cuba "I was more stressed out because I knew he was in the infantry and I knew what had been happening over there," she said "It scared me because I knew he'd be shooting at people and being shot at" Still wrestling with the dog, Travis boxed its ears and tried an ironic joke solders everywhere tell each other to lighten the conversation. - Travis Haack On surviving in combat "Getting shot at is OK," he said. "It's getting shot that sucks." Travis said the thing that surprised him most about Iraq was that his reserve unit wasn't relegated to a support role like in Cuba. In Iraq, his unit was a combat unit — one that was part of the first wave into the fight to remove an insurgent enemy in Al Falusia. While Travis was in Iraq, he'd communicate with his mom or his dad, Ronnie Haecker, by e-mail—and occasionally, for short conversations by satellite phone, from a rooftop in Iraq. Mom came to understand the drill: Her boy wouldn't tell her exactly where he was, only where he had been or where he might be going. The worst times, she said, were those when he let her know he'd be "out of reach." That was code for combat. "I'd check on the news every morning, and I'd look for him," Debbi said She would concen trate on the images, often shot in the eerie greens and blacks of night vision equipment, trying to pick out his face. "It was the worst when he was in Al Falusia," Debbi said. Travis said his superiors told him Operation Phantom Tiny, the encirclement and pacification of Al Falusia, would take three days. It lasted three weeks. The way to survive in combat, he said, was to keep focused—and pay attention to details. "You're always tired and hungry," he said. "But in combat, you have to set that aside. Your superiors — non-commissioned officers—would watch your work to be sure you didn't get sloppy or lackadaisical." "I think the thing I'm most proud of is we're the only unit in our regiment that brought everyone home," Travis said. "We all got combat ribbons, we gave out more than 20 Purple Hearts (the American ribbon given to people injured in action) and sent nine people, I think, home with serious injuries. But we never lost one." Debbi said she was just glad he was back, unhurt. "I was really nervous," she said. "But he's proud to be a Marine, and I see now why he did it. I'm proud of him." ;

you need to enable SNMP Protocol on the phone. You can manage this via the web interface.

Last High Human 4: What Defines Me, In Fact
I unsheathed my sword and climbed the stairs, followed by the woman.
Once in the first floor's room, and seeing what made the noise, I lowered my guard, relieved. I looked at the soldier behind me. She didn't take her spear.
Rhod: "I thought you were alone?"
Woman: "You asked if I was the last soldier remaining. And I am."
Woman: "Hun... Clever. Are you okay?" She asked the teenager lying on the ground.
Clever: "Y- Yes. Somehow."
Rhod: "You're hurt!"
The woman was right. The flesh of his left arm was ripped, just beneath the shoulder's muscles. Stained with blood, even the bone can be seen. I lifted the kid, helping him get back on his feet.
Clever: "Th- the ceiling window wasn't locked." His voice was deformed by the pain and his difficulty in breathing. "They... they opened it and broke ... broke the lock. I got hurt by a Mantissar when I tried to... to close it. When they suddenly took out their scythes I was able to close the window. But the mechanism ...completely broke and... Well…"
It was so sudden, the momentum probably threw him off.
Rhod: "Well done kid."
An embarrassing silence took over the room.
Woman: "I don't know who you are, human, but if you can fight I'll have you exterminate the bastards still alive."
Huh, I don't really like how she talks to me.
Woman: "What about you two?"
She looked at me with a weird look.
Rhod: "How are we supposed to fight in this state?"
Woman: "I was talking about the security. Can you keep the door shut while I secure the surrounding area?"
Of course I can, mind your own business.
Rhod: "-... Do you have something against me?"
Woman: "What do you mean?"
Rhod: "I risked my own life to save you. I'm willing to obey your orders. I'm at least expecting a bit of respect."
Woman: "You illegally penetrated military ground, disarmed a military official and entered the quarantine zone, which is totally forbidden except for overwatch troops of the S.Q.A. And unless proven wrong, you are definitely not part of it." She angrily pointed a finger at me. "YOU are the one supposed to show respect to me for not arresting you."
Rhod: "At least don't call me 'human'. I'm Rhod."
A weird sensation of powerlessness and desire to punch her face hazily floated in me. Is this what anger feels like?
I went down the stairs, followed by the two others. Once at the breached door, I took a glimpse outside.
Rhod: "How many of them were you able to count up there, kid?"
Clever: "How many... I don't really know, I didn't count I... I panicked too much."
I can't see anything from where I stood. I need more information.
Rhod: "Just a rough estimation is enough."
Clever: "Hum... At least two of them... I think?"
I looked back inside the tower. There were chairs and corpses scattered around, on the tables were some glasses, bottles and some plates with food are also spilled on the ground. I took the bottle in my left hand and held my sword in the right.
Woman: "What are you going to do with this, huma... Rhod?" She once again spoke with an imperious tone.
Rhod: "I will lure them with noise."
I threw the bottle halfway to the first tower. Immediately, a Mantissar appeared in my field of view. The bastard was actually hiding just above the door frame. After a short wait, I jumped out and looked around, ready to act. But nothing. Did the kid lie?
I approached the lured monster, slowly, watching his every move. I suddenly realized something when I caught tower's shadow on the ground. I sprinted forward and quickly killed the monster then immediately turned around, standing in a parrying stance.
Two Mantissars descended the tower and are running in my direction. I instantly noticed the yellow stripes on their bodies. A new specie?
I welcomed the first with a horizontal slash, but got warded off by his scythes. The second one tried to reach me from the left side of the first one. I jumped to the right and started moving so the first Mantikon always ends up between me and the second.
My opponent was significantly faster and smarter than the usual individuals of his race. He dodged or parried most of my attacks while cleverly slashing his scythes or ramming his body at me at the same time.
The most annoying thing while using my fighting style is how he used his scythes to block me. However, that's also what caused his demise: while holding his bladed forearms in order parry my attacks, he was also blocking his own field of vision.
I took an attacking stance and initiated a slashing move, but seeing him in a parry posture, I ran to his flank and quickly slashed his neck. A loud sound came from my sword which resounded in my ears, then the monster's head rolled between my feet.
The other one stopped moving, looking at me and his fallen comrade. I quickly checked my sword: the upper half of the blade was gone, lying on the ground. The remaining Mantikon suddenly growled loudly and charged in faster than I expected.
I used a bit of energy in my body to make a fast side jump when my vision suddenly blurred and darkened. Energy exhaustion kicked in with a bad timing.
I quickly recovered from the dizziness and find out I fell on my knees during the near blackout. The monster charged at me again. He's too close to avoid.
I jumped forward with all my might between his legs, landing head first in the grass. The whistling of blades cutting the air resounded close to my legs. I quickly stood up.
The Mantikon slowed down and started turning around. I dashed towards him, running at full throttle, preparing to slice his throat.
When he spotted me, he instinctively blocked his head with his scythes. I repeated my prior movements and went to his flank, targeting the head... And noticed him looking on the side! He knew! He anticipated! His jaws opened and suddenly closed in on my head!
I lowered my position and hearing the clacking of his jaws loudly closing above me, I firmly gripped my sword with both hands and stabbed it upwards, impaling his head from below. Green blood showered and dripped on my hair.
I let the corpse fell on the ground. All I cared about is what remained in my hands. Only a bladeless pommel, cracked and stained. Even my armor got destroyed in the fight.
My armor. My sword. My shield. Nothing remained. Nothing linked me to the King anymore .Something pushed in my throat while I clenched both fists and teeth.
Pearls of water ran down my cheeks...
The "kid's" point of view.
Even corporal Lyshia was stunned.
Unable to fight them herself, she sent the stranger out to die as a decoy, so we could run away safely. But when he killed the Mantikon and took the stance while looking towards the tower, she whispered something in her native language, seemingly angry.
I also thought that he was challenging her in a duel. Rogue bandits often act like he did: ascertained the state of their targets, then dueled them if they deem them weak enough.
But right after that, two Mantikons appeared. I never saw corporal Lyshia became so pale. I never saw her ever turn pale. How was a male even supposed to kill one of them by himself? And is a human above all else!
Alone and visibly tired, with a cracked sword and tattered pieces of armor, his death was just a matter of time. Or so we thought.
The way he fights. His speed, his technique... Even some knights can't match this. He didn't kill the Mantikons. He pulverized them.
Clever: "If this person…" I tried to ignore the pain in my arm. "If he turns against us corporal, this is the end…"
Lyshia: "-... I know. I know but... What if he is on our side?"
Clever: "If he is... We have a chance to make it back home corporal. "
Lyshia: "He is coming back."
The stranger walked toward us, then stopped. He looked at the sky, his left hand half raised... Like when someone tries to ascertain if it's raining.
He dropped his pommel. And removed his armor with slow movements. He then let each armor pieces fall on the ground without care, and started to walk again.
This day, I've seen something that I will never forget.
I saw a male human in his twenties, his head and shoulders painted green with the blood of Mantikons he himself killed. His tanned skin was marked everywhere by impressive scars. His body void of any useless fat, a marked depression was on his left flank, where there should be a rib...
And above all else, those shiny, crying orange eyes, staring daggers at the world. This stare was filled with hate, anger and bloodlust.
He walked past between Lyshia and I without looking at us. Without talking to us.
Yet, I clearly remembered seeing the corporal tremble, like death itself had come in person to take her very soul.

Bussolengo General Hospital, Bussolengo, Italy
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are regarded as the first-line treatment in patients with persistent asthma, resulting lung function, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilic inflammation significantly improved. Nonetheless, many patients receiving ICS continue to experience asthma symptoms, and both the synthesis and the release of cys-leucotrienes (LTs) are not inhibited completely. Montelukast, a selective cys-LT1 receptor antagonist, has been found to reduce airway eosinophilic inflammation in patient with asthma, and it would then provide additional benefit for symptomatic patients already receiving ICS. Aim: to assess and compare the 6-week efficacy of ICS alone and of ICS+Montelukast on bronchial hyperresponsiveness to MCh and on the LTE4 urine levels in mild-persistent asthma.
After informed consent, 18 mild-persistent atopic (prick test positive for inhalants) asthmatics (18-62y; mean basal FEV1=103.2%pred±15.4sd; mean PD20FEV1 to MCh=89.8mcg±102.6sd) were randomized. Nine subjects received only Fluticasone p. 250mcg o.d. (group FP), and the remaining 9 Fluticasone p. 250mcg o.d. plus Montelukast 10mg o.d. (FP+M), for 6 weeks according to a double-dummy, double-blind design. PD20 FEV1 to MCh and LTE4 urinary levels were assessed in bsln and at the end of treatments. Urine were collected in the morning and processed by an immunoenzimatic method (Cayman Chemical, Mi, USA). Statistics: t test vs basal and between treatments; p< 0.05 accepted.
In tab. 1.
1) unlike ICS, only the addition of Montelukast enables a substantial decrease of urinary LTE4; 2) the LTs-mediated inflammation confirms its relevant role in atopic asthma.
Montelukast provides a consistent additional control on bronchial hyperresponsiveness when added to ICS in mild persistent asthma.

FBS: good time to sell EUR/GBP
By Alex Weber, FBS
Trade: Sell EUR/GBP on a break below 0.7910 with a target of 0.7870 and with a stop at 0.7930.
EUR/GBP consolidates around the yesterday's lows of 0.7910 on Tuesday. Last week's bullish attack was not really successful with the 1.7980 mark limiting the upside. The pair is now balancing on the upper boarder of the March-July descending channel.
Given the dovish ECB meeting expectation and the recent upbeat UK figures (the PMIs especially) I see a good chance to sell EUR/GBP on a break below the channel resistance.

Lady Gaga "hatches" from egg, sports pointy shoulders
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lady Gaga stole the Grammy limelight on Sunday by arriving encased in a giant egg, and crawling out of it to perform her new single "Born This Way".
Gaga, 24, declared in a Twitter message that she was "in incubation" for her live appearance. Aides said she had spent three hours crouched inside the egg with an oxygen mask ahead of her arrival.
Borne aloft by attendants dressed in scanty gold-colored garb, the egg was the latest in a series of stunts by the performance artist and singer. In September, she wore a headline-grabbing dress made entirely of raw meat that she wore to the MTV Music Video Awards.
Onstage on Sunday, she crawled out of the egg dressed in yellow and sporting what appeared to be pointed shoulder implants.
Away from the Grammy ceremony in Los Angeles, the singer made headlines by saying in a pre-recorded TV interview that she uses marijuana and whiskey to help write her songs.
"(I) drink a lot of whiskey and I smoke weed when I write. And I don't do it a lot because it's not good for my voice," the singer told TV news show "60 Minutes".
"I don't want to encourage kids to do drugs....And I don't lie. I'm not a liar. I built good will with my fans. They know who I am. And I'm just like them in so many ways," she added.
Halfway through the Grammy ceremony, Gaga had won three of the six awards she had been nominated for -- one for her album "The Fame Monster" and two for her song "Bad Romance."
"I had this dream when I was really young that I could be whoever I wanted to be," she said in her acceptance speech. Continued...

Sebastian: Moving Out
I wasn't sure if I wanted the morning to come or not. When the morning came I would have to set off into enemy territory to find my sister and her friends. But what scared me most was the fact that I had no idea what I was going to find on the other side of the border. Or what I wouldn't find.
I was worried about Alexandra; she was all I could think about as I prepared myself to leave. I knew she could look after herself; she had proved it often enough but this was a very different situation. Alex was surrounded by strangers in a foreign country and with no one to turn to for help if things went wrong. And if things went wrong there would be no second chance to get it right.
It was a dangerous place to be. I'd known that when I'd promoted Jon to recruiter, but I hadn't realized that he would recruit my sister. I must have tipped her off somehow in that letter I had Jon deliver. Well, the damage was done now. Fixing it would be the next challenge.
I watched the sun come up, knowing that at any moment the other members of my team would appear and we would set off into Handrin. I should have slept. Everyone knows that before a big mission you have to get a good night's sleep; who knows when you'll get another one, but I had been on edge all evening and hadn't been able to relax.
I saw Luke appear from his tent and knew I had to put my brave face on for the sake of the rest of my team. If they saw I was scared then they wouldn't have faith in me as their leader.
"Good morning Luke," I said, trying to sound bright and positive.
"Good morning," was the groggy reply I received.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes. At least I think I am."
"Good. We'll have to be leaving soon."
The rest of the camp was silent, the way I liked it in the early hours of the morning. No one was up yet except for the watch and the sky was turning a wonderful pinky orange colour as the sun began to rise.
Slowly the others began to arrive, all looking a little tired and disorientated from lack of sleep. Clearly they had been worrying too. I looked at all their faces. Luke and Gerald Elliot, Lewis and Fredrick. The faces of the ten additional men I had called upon to help with this mission. I was determined to bring them all back safely to this camp along with my sister and the other spies.
I just hoped it was an achievable goal.
"Are you all ready to leave?" I asked the group. A series of nods and murmured yes's confirmed this. "Good. Then let's move out."

text: Audio Transcription Hello to all of our members and guests alike, Although we strive for 99.999% uptime, and while technically, our service is still working for a majority of visitors around the world, this afternoon required unannounced maintenance. The service level action involves moving Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Domain Name Services (DNS). By switching to a dedicated IP address, we avoid the problems that would take place if our main database server IP needs to be changed at our datacenter. Furthermore, we can bind all Windows 7 Forums-related services to one address. The accessibility problem takes place when this data is changed. Our new DNS zone has to propagate across the entire Internet in order for you to find us at our new IP address, and in the interim, browsers were still able to access the old address. This change over was also made to ensure that Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transactions remained compatible with our already published Facebook and Mobile applications. The ensuing downtime and troubleshooting led to some unexpected difficulties that resulted in even further upgrades to how we render every piece of content on the site: from database to dynamic content processing. All of this code has been upgraded and improved. The Windows 7 Forums Team would like to apologize to our frequent visitors and long-term members, as you have likely been hit the hardest by this change. If you visited the site today, it will take a long time for your "DNS cache" (saved lists of hostnames going to a IP and vice versa), to update. If you continue having difficulty accessing the site:Clear all browser history, cookies, and settings now.The expired DNS zone will stay in your router's cache, your computer's cache, your ISP's cache, and so on until your ISP forces a DNS update. This can sometimes take up to 24 hours or longer for full propagation. In remote areas of the world, it can take even longer. This should be finished by February 24, 2012 and no later.If accessing the site has become a major priority right now, power down your modem, your router, and your computer. Upon reboot, go to Start -> Search -> cmd.exe ("Run as Administrator") and type "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotations.Clear all Internet browser cache, cookies, and history, before returning to the website.Our old IP address was 188.8.131.52. Our new one is 126.96.36.199. If you know how to use nslookup and reverse nslookup, this will help you find out what you are resolving. We are confident this level of difficulty will not happen again for quite awhile. And, we are looking at external DNS servers for backup. But even with these extra redundancies, this was not a domain name services failure. This was a change of address. Our goal has always been to provide the best experience to our visitors. If you're getting this message, the site will be down for you, at most, a couple of hours, if you do not access this page. You may regain access to the site and start to see this message again. If that happens, you are still bouncing between old zone records and new ones, as the Internet is slow to propagate these changes. Because we made this change, we can mitigate the risk of this ever happening again. We also have additional IP-based resources and this opens up more room for future websites and projects we are working on. We've also updated PHP the latest release for faster, more secure, and reliable browsing.

|Khan apprises Menon of security arrangements
Friday, January 30 2004 19:24 Hrs (IST)
Security has emerged as a major issue on India's first full-fledged tour of Pakistan in 15 years even as the two cricket Boards are finalising the dates and venues for the three Test and five One-day International series.
Menon on Thursday had said that the hype surrounding the cricket series was building up and hoped sporting contacts would mark the beginning of a new chapter in Indo-Pak relations.
"The hype is building up in both India and Pakistan and Indian team is eagerly awaited in Pakistan which is a very positive sign," Menon said during an interaction with the media.
"It is a positive sign that cricket is being revived and both the Boards are working to sort out the details and a security team is arriving.
"Cricket is one of the confidence building measures and can add to the peace process both countries have initiated, and as a keen follower of the game I keep my fingers crossed for exciting cricket," he said.

To the Editor:
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by the
widespread involvement of the microvasculature and by severe damage to
the endothelium1as well as by the modification of
vascular tone control.2 The endothelium-dependent control
of vascular tone is one of the main functions that is jeopardized
during endothelial injury.
The work of Cailes et al3is a precious report
showing the impairment of the endothelium-dependent control of the
vascular tone in the lungs of SSc patients. Actually, our group was the
first to report in 1990 such a result in the acral circulation of
patients with SSc. We demonstrated that during the evolution of the
disease, the endothelium-dependent vasodilation was impaired either
when the level of von Willebrand factor, the marker of endothelial
injury, was normal in the early phase of the disease or when it was
greatly raised in the advanced phase of the disease.4The
failure of endothelial-dependent regulation of vasodilation then was
confirmed in the acral circulation by Bedarida et al5and
in the skin circulation by La Civita et al.6
Recent data indirectly also demonstrate a defective vasodilating
ability in the renal vasculature of SSc patients who have no sign of
kidney involvement during standard clinical evaluations.7
In fact, we have found that the renal functional reserve, or the
ability of the kidney to increase its glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
and effective plasma flow (ERPF) when challenged with a protein or an
amino acid load is blunted in patients with SSc. During the amino acid
load test, GFR, ERPF, and total renal vascular resistance (TRVR)
remained substantially unchanged in 20 SSc patients ([mean±
SD] GFR, −2 ± 13.1 mL/min; ERPF, −4.1 ± 62.5
mL/min; and TRVR, 662 ± 2,215
dyne · s−1 · cm−5),
whereas 10 healthy control subjects showed the expected significant
changes in these parameters (GFR, 30.0 ± 13.3 mL/min[
p < 0.001]; ERPF, 111.6 ± 39.6 mL/min [p < 0.001];
dyne · s−1 · cm−5[
p < 0.004]). Only five of 20 SSc patients had a GFR
increase comparable to that of the control subjects (≥ 10%). The
defective response was not dependent on the duration or the clinical
subset of the disease, and it could be observed early in the course of
the illness (median time interval from diagnosis, 18 months).
There is general agreement that the activation of the renal functional
reserve depends on preglomerular vasodilation, and nitric oxide has
been indicated as a major mediator of the phenomenon. Thus, the
defective renal functional response to the protein load reflects an
impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation in the renal
In conclusion, the analysis of the literature of the last decade shows
that in SSc, the endothelium-dependent control of the vascular tone is
profoundly deranged in different organs. This evidence strongly
suggests that the pivotal aim of the physician, in particular in the
early phase of the disease, is the protection of the endothelium in
order to keep its function at a steady level. This might allow an
adequate tissular blood flow, thus avoiding the damage due to ischemia
and reperfusion, as well as the further breakdown of vessel patency.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 6, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas Page 6A — HERALD-ZEITUNG — Sunday, August 6, 2000Opinions FORUM Letters _Herald-Zeitung New Braunfels Zeitung was founded 1852; New Braunfels Herald was founded 1890. The two papers merged in 1957 and printed in both German and English until 1958. Doug Toney, Editor and Publisher Margaret Edmonson, Managing Editor Michael Cary, News Editor www.herald-zeitung.com (830) 625-9144 Editorial^Marriage penalty' not fair to working couples Republican lawmakers have their work cut out for them when they return next month to override President Clinton's veto of a bill that would eliminate the so-called "marriage penalty" tax. Because of the way the tax code is structured 25 million working couples have to pay more income taxes than if they filed separately. Clinton chose early Saturday morning to veto the Republican-sponsored bill — and then played a round of golf. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who wrote the legislation, said "(Working families are paying attention, and they know the president has run out of excuses. The Republicans have just nominated a presidential candidate who w ill give marriage penalty relief to working families.'' Like so many other issues facing Washington, D.C., the marriage penalty bill has fallen victim to the party politics that prevail during a presidential election year. Unless the GOP can get the two-thirds majority to override Clinton's veto, married couples in this country w ill have to wait to get the justice they deserve under the faulty tax code. Gov. George W. Bush and his running mate Dick Cheney quickly criticized the veto while on the campaign trail Saturday. Vice President Al Gore, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, said he supported the veto but not the idea of repealing the marriage tax. Clinton w rote to Congress, saying die plan "provides little relief to families that need it most, while devoting a large fraction of its benefits to families with higher incomes." The issue over the marriage tax is not about income; it is about correcting a policy that unfairly penalizes a couple for filing jointly. If the Democrats are serious about repealing the marriage tax and they don't like the one put on Clinton's desk, they need to come up with one. So far, in this election year, the Republicans have stepped forward w ith a plan to correct a serious tax code flaw that touches millions of American families. All the Democrats have done is shoot that plan down. Today in History By The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Aug. 6, the 219th day of 2000. There are 147 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Aug. 6, 1945, during World War ll, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing an estimated 140,000 people in the first use of a nuclear weapon in warfare. On this date: In 1787, the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia began to debate the articles contained in a draft of the U.S. Constitution. In 1806, the Holy Roman Empire went out of existence as Emperor Francis I abdicated. In 1825, Bolivia declared its independence from Peru. Letters to The EditorBuilding turnarounds might alleviate problem Dear Editor: In regards to our traffic situation, I highly agree with the recent letters asking why they are working on two major intersections at one time. I, for one, think this is crazy. Why can't they finish one project at a time.? It is my opinion that they should build some sort of turnarounds under both of these intersections, like they did on Texas 46. First, that would relieve a lot of this traffic hassle. A lot of people are just trying to get to the other side to get back on the highway to get to work in San Antonio or to get to a business in a shopping center. I, for one, had to wait in front of Wal-mart the other day almost 45 minutes on the frontage readjust to get to the other side to get back on the highway to get to work in San Antonio, which made me late for work. Because every time the light would change, the traffic at the Walnut exit was backed up to the end of the exit. After they were let off, there was not enough time for anyone else to get through. And then just when you think you're going make it, some worker stops traffic to let the big dump trucks through. I think before it gets much worse and the buses for school start to run, they need to come up with some sort of solution to this problem or a lot of kids will be late for school. My daughter already catches the bus at 5:45 a.m. Is she going to have to catch it even earlier to make up for this traffic in order to get to school on time? Building turnarounds would be a simple solution for all, I believe. Marilyn Olney New BraunfelsTraffic situation in NB becoming tragic Dear Editor: Traffic has become so slow here in New Braunfels, that as motorists, we could get tickets for loitering. On July 26, about 10:30 a.m., I left home for my normal 15-minute trip to and from my bank across IH-35. It quickly became an 85-minute nightmare. The traffic count at IH-35 and EM 725, Texas 46, Walnut Street and Rueckle Road must have exceeded 400 cars and trucks in a slow' moving motorcade. I contacted the City of New Braunfels, which referred me to TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation). TxDOT's response to my comments was, "What do you expect us to do — all roads are open. There are just too many cars on the road." The roads are open to one-way and/or detoured traffic with no evidence of any law enforcement assistance, despite the traffic logjams. It appears that TxDOT planning is less than1 adequate to afford the public suitable and reasonable access to necessary business and medical facilities. Emergency fire and police services surely are also adversely affected. The mere explanation of road closings and detours by TxDOT does not provide the public the required vehicle access throughout the community. All concerned citizens of New Braunfels and those tourists who frequent our community should speak out to our public servants and elected officials to help alleviate what has become a tragic situation. James Markiewicz New BraunfelsBoat ramp needed in New Braunfels Dear Editor: I am an avid fisherman living in New' Braunfels for about five years and because of the highway construction, the boat ramp under IH-35 bridge has been closed until May 2003. The city of New Braunfels owns a large tract of land behind the softball fields off Kuehler Avenue currently referred to as Comal Park. Beyond the softball field is a perfect location for a boat ramp, fishing pier and large picnic areas for families to go and enjoy themselves. Fishing and outdoor activities bring a lot of money for New Braunfels, and this city is in need of a good location where people can fish in Lake Dunlap with their children or just enjoy the outdoors. There is a long frontage on Lake Dunlap and would give ample area for people to fish if they would like. I do know there are several locations or parks on the Guadalupe River for public access but these are not prime fishing locations to take a child to fish. The fishing in Lake Dunlap offers a chance for perch, bass and catfish, just to name a few species. I would like to attend a city council meeting if necessary and bring others to voice our opinion on the ramp and picnicking facility, much-needed for the families of New Braunfels. Please pass this on to the city officials and maybe this is needed more than trying so hard to attract retired people. I am in my early 50s and enjoy the outdoors as much as anyone else, but I prefer my time on the water rather than on the golf course. Martin R. Wingard New BraunfelsRecognize veterans in obituaries Dear Editor: I'm writing to request that a small American flag be placed beside the name of each military servicemen and servicewomen in the obituary section of the New' Braunfels Herald-Zeitung. Let's recognize and honor the men and women who have served in our nation's military.Doris M. Brown Canyon LakeLaw keeps government open without defying common sense "Thepeople, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide w hat is good for the people to know' and what is not good for them to know.... "This act shall be liberally construed in favor of the granting of any request for information. ' -Texas Public Information Act This past week, about 30 public officials from New Braunfels, Bulverde and Comal County, along w ith a few new s gatherers, met in the new emergency operations center at the Comal County Jail with two attorneys from the state's attorney general's office. County Judge Danny Scheel asked for the meeting and should be commended for doing so. The topic was the state's Open Meetings Law and Public Information Act. These two laws are supposed to define what public officials and bureaucrats must do to allow citizens their rightful access to meetings and governmental records. Both of the attorneys from Austin appeared to try their best to answer ques- DOUG TONEY lions from local off icials and newspaper types such as myself. I lowever, when an attorney for the state's top legal enforcement agency starts an answer by saying, "Well, there's actually two answers to that question," that should tell you not all is cut and dried in the world of open government in Texas. The law is ambiguous, but that shouldn't surprise anyone who is familiar with the Texas Legislature. One of the first steps the legislature took when it devised the Open Meetings Law was exempt itself, and that little trick should not surprise anyone either. Yet, as complicated and convoluted as the laws seem, they work, albeit not without some occasional confusion. The citizens of Comal County should be encouraged and pleased that County Judge Scheel took the initiative to bring the experts from Austin to Comal County. When thanked for putting together the meeting, Scheel explained he realized there was a need for the meeting because of a phone call he had received. Apparently, according to the county judge, an assistant district attorney reported to him that city attorney Floyd Akers had called saying the county commissioners were violating the Open Meetings Law by talking to one another when they were not in a public meeting. Scheel, when asked about that incident, replied that he just thought it would be best to have a meeting with representatives from the attorney general's office to clear the air. The attorney general's lawyers, at least on this particular issue, were clear. C ommissioners and city council members can be in the same place at the same time, as long as it is not a quorum (majority) of the governmental body, without violating the law. They can talk with each other outside public meetings without violating the law. County commissioners, school board members, city council members and — other public bodies can discuss the issues of their constituents w ith each other. They just cannot deliberate and decide the public's business in private. It def ies common sense that lobbyists and special interest groups could have more access to individual commissioners or counci I members than public officials have with each other. The city attorney at least appears vigilant, although somewhat misguided, about the public's right to know. So my hat's off to County Judge Scheel and all those public off icials, including city attorney Akers, who attended the meeting this past Tuesday. Maybe now that the air has been cleared, no more city committees will feel compelled to exempt themselves from the Open Meetings Law. Many such committees are not legally bound to comply with the Open Meetings Law because these groups do not pass law s or create policy. I lowever, in the city of New Braunfels, by-law s for these appointed committees are drafted to include the committees' agreement to follow the Open Meetings Law, f ormer Mayor Jan Kennady is credited . u.............. -r--- ......■■■■•" /-------- - w itll draw ing up these by-laws and Mayor Stoney Williams has supported continuing that position. Both should be praised for their commitment to the public's right to know and what that means to the citizens of New Braunfels. Maybe now that the misinterpretation has been resolved, the hotel occupancy tax committee can agree to play by the same rules as all other city committees. Confidence in city government is low. Though the members of the hotel occupancy tax committee might be committed to conducting its business in public, it surely would put to rest some rampant skepticism if they would reconsider their action and follow the same rules as every other committee in New Braunfels city government. That one sentence in the Public Information Act comes to mind: "The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know...."

This study compared the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the 24-h pad test with other measures that assess severity of urinary loss in women with urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). Ninety-five women with primary or recurrent (secondary) USI were recruited. Assessment of the severity of urinary loss was made using the ICIQ-SF, a 24-h pad test, continence questionnaire, Stamey grade, and 3-day frequency volume diary. The relationship between these measures of incontinence severity was analysed. The mean age was 54 years (SD±12) and median parity 2 (IQR 1–3). In the primary USI group there was a strong correlation between the ICIQ-SF and the 24-h pad test (r=0.458, P =0.000). Both the ICIQ-SF (Kendall's' tau b=0.331, p =0.003) and 24-h pad test (Kendall's tau b=0.399, p =0.002) also correlated with the mean frequency of urinary loss on diary but not with the Stamey grade. No subjective or objective tests correlated with each other in women with secondary USI. These results demonstrate a good correlation between the 24-h pad test diary loss, and ICIQ-SF in women with primary USI. Because it also includes a measure of quality of life impact in a short user-friendly format, we suggest that the ICIQ-SF should have widespread applicability as an outcome measure in patients with stress incontinence.

In this exercise, you will use setTimeout to draw an animated Pacman like the one pictured below:
Use of the name and image of "Pacman" is a nod to the Namco-released game Pac-man®.
Open html5-canvas/Solutions/pacman.html in a browser to see the finished example in action.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> ---- C O D E O M I T T E D ---- <script> var diff = 0; var delta = 5; var maxDiff = 40; function init() { updateDrawing(); } function updateDrawing() { diff = diff + delta; if (Math.abs(diff) > maxDiff) { delta = delta * -1; } var canvas=document.getElementById("my-canvas"); var context = canvas.getContext("2d"); context.fillStyle = "rgb(0,0,0)"; context.fillRect(0,0,500,500); context.beginPath(); context.fillStyle = "rgb(255, 255, 0)"; context.arc(250, 250, 100, 0, 360); context.stroke(); context.fill(); context.strokeStyle = "rgb(0,0,0)"; context.fillStyle = "rgb(0,0,0)"; context.beginPath(); context.moveTo(250, 250); context.lineTo(400, 250 - diff); context.lineTo(400, 250 + diff); context.closePath(); context.fill(); timer = setTimeout(function() {updateDrawing()},25); } ---- C O D E O M I T T E D ----
The first lines of function
updateDrawing set
diff - the height of the triangle - equal to itself plus
delta. If the absolute value of
diff becomes greater than
maxDiff, we set
diff to its negative, swapping its value from negative, to positive, to negative, etc. This is how we accomplish the mouth never getting too wide.
Next we draw (with code that was already provided you) a black rectangle, and draw (with code you wrote) a filled yellow circle inside of (on top of) the black rectangle.
Lastly, we draw the triangle to form the mouth, varying the height of the triangle each time, and use
setTimeout(function() {updateDrawing()},25) to recursively call updateDrawing and produce the animation.
