Starting gate
A starting gate is a machine used in horse racing and dog racing to ensure a fair start in a race.
Thoroughbred/quarter horse racing
The inventor of the electric starting gate for horse racing is generally credited to be Clay Puett, who was a rider and starter at various tracks in the West. Puett's device replaced other starting methods used previously such as starting barriers, which were simple ropes or occasionally wooden barriers behind which the horses stood, or even simpler methods such as standing behind a chalk line to await a starter's flag. These previous methods often did little to produce a fair start, with extra judges employed to catch horses who got a jump on the rest of the field.
Many of Puett's actual gates are still in use today at tracks around the world, and all gates are based on his original design. A starting gate is equipped with a number of stalls aligned in a row, usually numbering 12 or 14 for everyday use at tracks. Smaller gates may be used at training facilities for schooling horses, or as an auxiliary gate in addition to the main gate for large-field races such as the Kentucky Derby. Horses normally enter from the rear of the stall, with doors locked behind the horse once it is in place; the front doors of the stall are normally closed as the horse is loaded in, though the starting-gate crew may open it to entice a horse who balks at entry. Alternately, a horse may be backed into the stall from the front entry, again done in the case of a skittish horse.
The front door of each stall is held closed by an electric lock. The stall doors are designed to give way to prevent injury to horse or rider in the event a horse prematurely attempts to bolt through the front or back.
When the starter is satisfied that all horses are in place and ready to start the race, he presses a button that simultaneously opens the front stall doors, rings a loud bell, and sends a signal to the totalizator system that the race is begun and no more bets should be accepted.
Puett's gate was first used at Exhibition Park in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1939, though the management of Bay Meadows in San Mateo, California claims that their track was the first to use Puett's gate.[1] By the end of 1940, virtually all major race tracks in the United States used Puett gates. Clay Puett began another company, True Center Gate, in 1958 based in Phoenix, Arizona.[2]. True Center and Puett's original company (first known as Puett Electric Gate company, now as United) currently account for most starting gate installations in North America.True Center also has gates in South America, the Caribbean and Saudi Arabia.
While starting gates are standard for flat racing, steeplechase tracks frequently still use earlier forms of starting barriers.
Harness racing
Harness racing in North America uses a rolling start. In early days, the fairness of the start was judged by stewards at the starting line; if they judged that a racer was not fairly in line with the others, a false start would be called and the race would start again. This process was sometimes repeated several times before a fair start occurred.
In the middle 20th Century, the mobile starting gate was developed. This device consists of a car or pickup truck equipped with metal "wings" on each side. As the vehicle is driven down the center of the track, the wings are extended and the horses line up in order behind it. When the gate reaches the starting line, the starter retracts the wings, which fold inward toward the vehicle body. The vehicle then accelerates and pulls off to the outside to let the racers proceed; it many cases, it then follows close behind the racers for officials to view the race and any potential infractions of rules.
The motorized gate drastically reduced the number of false starts, but did not eliminate them. If the starter, who rides in the vehicle facing backward toward the horses, sees that the start is not fair in some way, he may issue a recall and order the race to be started again.
Dog racing
Dog racing uses a device similar in nature and concept to the horse racing starting gate. The machine is usually called a starting box, owing to its use of boxes to hold the greyhounds in place. Dogs are loaded from the rear, with a small window in the front door through which the dog can see the track and the mechanical lure.
Once the lure has come around to a point a few meters in front of the box, the dogs are released when the front doors are swung upward to open. Unlike horse racing, this action does not signal the totalizator system to end betting; that is done instead by a steward just before the lure is sent on its way.
Starting boxes normally hold eight dogs, with some holding nine.

In the world of automobiles, the transmission converts the energy produced by your car's engine into torque, which is transmitted through the axle to the drive wheels. A powerful transmission allows more energy to be transferred into the drive wheels, creating more horsepower and towing capacity. Transmission power is especially prized in trucks, which are designed to either carry or tow heavier loads. Dodge, an American-based car brand, currently offers both the Dakota and Ram truck models to consumers. Some basic tips on proper transmission care will help keep your Dodge truck operating longer.
Identify Your Transmission Type
To find how best to care for your truck's transmission, you need to identify what style of transmission your truck uses. Dodge truck models support automatic transmissions, which automatically switches gears using engine sensory equipment, and manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions are standard on the Dodge Ram 1500 and 2500; they're also available as an option for the four-wheel-drive or front-drive models of the Dakota. Manual transmissions are also a Dakota option and come standard on Dodge Ram 3500. If you use a stick shift and clutch pedal to switch between gears manually, then your Dodge truck utilizes a manual transmission. If it switches gears automatically, your transmission is an automatic assembly.
Transmission Oil Changes
Because of the complex assemblies and small parts involved with automatic transmissions, transmission oil is used to keep these individual parts operating longer. The transmission oil will need to be changed at regular intervals to prevent excess wear or malfunctioning. Your model-specific Dodge truck owner's manual will have specific guidelines on when to change your transmission oil. As a rule of thumb, transmission oil should be changed every 35,000 miles or so. Do not drive for longer than 40,000 miles between oil changes, unless your Dodge truck owner's manual states otherwise.
False Park Defect
In 2000 and 2005, Dodge issued voluntary recalls on truck models with a false park, or "park-to-reverse," defect. The 2000 recall was for 1991 to 1992 Dodge Dakotas; the 2005 recall asked for consumers to return any Ram truck manufactured between 2003 and 2005. The defect is only present on vehicles using an automatic transmission.
False park is a defect caused by a faulty automatic transmission that may shift the car into reverse while it is idling in park. In a 2007 civil suit, Dodge was ordered to pay almost $55 million in damages for injuries and deaths associated with this defect.
Common Dodge Transmission Issues
The Center for Auto Safety keeps detailed statistics and reports on safety and operational concerns associated with specific car models. According to a report about Dodge Dakota trucks, common issues included noisy shifting, delayed gear shifting and grinding sounds during normal use. A report on all three models of the Dodge Ram, including the Ram 1500, the Ram 2500 and the Ram 3500, lists failure to work in below freezing temperatures, delayed gear shifting and noise at lower RPM levels as common transmission issues. All of these problems are more prevalent in Dodge trucks utilizing automatic transmissions. If your Dodge truck experiences any of these problems, refer to owner manual guidelines on troubleshooting principles, or seek the help of a professional mechanic.

It's that time of year again, time to dash to the stores in hunt for the best deals on the perfect gift! I tend to opt for gifts like candles, starbucks or itune gift cards, bath&body, etc as they tend to be the universal gift that gets anyone excited. A helpful tip for shopping this season is everyone in my family sends out a list of different items they would hope to receive, this makes it easy to get the most ideal gift that doesn't end up "re-gifted". What do you think is a great gift to give (besides e.l.f. makeup of course)?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Does a attorney usually ask you to pay a house off? In the hopes that someday It will be yours
No. This is odd. If the owner of the house has passed away, the estate should be paying the utilities. A decedent's estate should be opened and creditors paid through the estate. Please consult in person with a probate attorney. There are not enough facts here to guide you. No one is an heir until the grantor has died.Ask a similar question
Could it be that the estate does not have cash to make these payments and the attorney has a timeline before the deed can be transferred?
The attorney might be trying to save the house from going into foreclosure or late\fees.
You just ask the attorney why this is necessary>
The answer given does not imply that an attorney-client relationship has been established and your best course of action is to have legal representation in this matter.Ask a similar question
This is an unusual situation, but it's possible that the estate does not have any liquid assets, so the beneficiaries are being giving the opportunity to save their inheritance. The personal representative should confer with the attorney on this issue.
Please note that I am answering this question as a service through Avvo but not as your attorney and no attorney-client relationship is established by this posting. An attorney-client relationship can only be established through signing a Fee Agreement and paying the necessary advanced fees.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues. I have seen this kind of thing happen before, when the estate is insolvent. At that point, the choices are usually 1) go to the heirs and ask them to make the payments; or 2) fall behind and risk foreclosure of the property. If the estate in your situation has assets, then this request would not be appropriate, and you should seek legal advice right away.

Prologue: Part 2Mature
As I walked through the doorway I felt a sigh if relief part my lips and was glad to hear two more accompany it. I was not the only one on tenterhooks the whole way home. Though Aden and I held hands, and though Aiala moved forward with her normal grace and kind of iridescent glow I could tell we were all waiting for something to happen.
Demons to have escaped.
Witnesses to cause havoc.
For though humans saw no magic, demons or rift, it took no super-human skills to feel evil was afoot. To investigate further and to lift the veil of secrecy that kept them shrouded in their own little world. All it ever took was one inquisitive teenager out on a late night walk to lift the veil and see exactly the pure mayhem that would unfold like frosted glass melting away.
But nothing. Not a whisper of trouble. It was almost too good to be true. I tried not t think of it as I opened the fridge to get some form of sustenance for us after our draining pursuits of the evening. I pushed the buttons on the microwave tentatively, afraid with my new strength that I would start to break things.
We sat at the table and silently ate as heartily as manners would allow.
When we were finished a deafening silence hung in the air, wanting to be broken, begging to be shattered by conversation but threatening that should it, consequences would follow.
I dared.
"Tonight went well I thought?"
"Yes, yes, very well indeed" Aiala agreed. But something was amiss, she sounded almost afraid. A tone I had NEVER heard from her before.
"Almost too well." Aden added.
I dared again.
"I don't know what it was guys, it scared me as much as it empowered me and I'm sure you felt the same."
"It did scare me somewhat, I didn't know what exactly was happening. I felt a momentous surge of power within me and the curiosity to use it took over, so I gave into curiosity. I must say, I am glad I did, or we would still be their." Aiala reinforced exactly how I had been feeling.
Aden just nodded.
"What's wrong Faolan, cant got your tongue?" This lightened the mood considerably. We all laughed.
" I am no 'little wolf' to you. I would take you any day."
"Perhaps, but who would remain victorious is obvious to me." She winked playfully at him to show she meant no harm to his fragile male ego.
"Yes. Me." Was his slightly indignant retort.
"Do not get you're hopes up."
"I don't need to."
"Guys, guys, take a chill pill, I would destroy you BOTH!"
"Can't argue their, you don't play fair." Winked Aden
"After tonight, it seems as though you most certainly would." Aiala said bringing our attention back to the phenomenon of the evening.
"I don't know what it was, but I love it." I said unsheathing my FireSwords, harmless to those I wished them to be, and causing them to blaze. To make more of a point I wreathed both Aden and Aiala in harmless fire.
"Never. EVER. Do that again." Aden said, checking to make sure his hair was not singed and his complection remained perfect.
"I concur, please refrain. However intriguing this new power is, perhaps we should investigate it under more desirable circumstances?" She gestured to Aden, nearly falling asleep.
As I led him to the bedroom I couldn't help but notice Aiala playing with her Bolts, designing them into shapes, an otter, gracefully backstroking through the air and a gazelle, bounding around her, leaving it's wispy tail around her.
She saw me looking and quickly they faded to nothing. The smart comment I was going to make about 'more desirable circumstances' didn't need saying. She knew.
I lay down on the bed, completely relaxed, falling into Aden's arms and cuddling him. I closed my eyes and switched off completely. Not worrying myself with the nights events. Not worrying about loose demons, or witnesses. Not allowing any of it to enter my unconscious thoughts. I would dream happy dreams that night. We all slept long and deep, recuperating our powers and energy.

Chapter 30
I was surprised by Harriet's enthusiasm. I guess I was still recovering from being moved so deeply by her confession and description of how her perspective had changed.
It felt ... amazing to finally be understood, especially by the only person whose opinion I cared about. I'd like to think we were soul mates. That would be the greatest gift in the world.
Hey, perhaps Henry will stop interfering if he finds out Harriet and I are destined to be together.
Making Harriet my proprius
5. Loosening other bonds
"So you really want to do this tonight?" I asked, moving my head back so I could see her and clasping my hands together at the bottom of Harriet's spine to form a cage so that she couldn't fall backwards.
"Yes," Harriet said, with certainty.
"Okay. Well, I reckon it will be easier if you're on my bed." I let go of her and she compliantly slid off and sat on my duvet.
i) Hypnosis
"I'm going to hypnotise you," I told her.
"Okay," she said calmly.
I held her hands and gazed deeply into her eyes. She was instantly caught and held by my gaze. I continued to stare, watching her pupils dilate and her eyelids close less frequently. Finally, I whispered "Sleep," and her head rolled forwards, her eyes shut. Her breathing was calm and steady.
"Harriet Thyme," I murmured, "you are under my power. You will do whatever I ask of you."
"Yes, master," she said, in a dull, monotone voice.
"When I wake you up, you will think less about your friends. You will still like them but no one will be as important to you as me. The time you usually spend with them you will want to spend with me. You will crave my company. At school, you'll act normal and still treat your friends as you normally do, but once you get home, the first person you'll want to see is me."
I clicked my fingers.
Observed Effect
None. None was expected.
Harriet woke up.
She smiled at me. "Did it work?"
I shrugged. "I'm guessing so. It usually does."
She looked a little confused as if she had been expecting me to say something like "Yes, definitely".
"Oh, okay then," she said. She smiled. "Well, next thing then."
"You should be worried about me using so much power over you," I told her, half teasingly, half seriously.
"But I'm not," she replied simply. "I know you'd never hurt me."
I smiled. "Last one then."
"For tonight," she reminded me.
I laughed. "Yes, Harriet, for tonight."
6. Becoming the only one she can turn to
i) Persuasive Statements and Suggestion
Harriet sighed contentedly and lay on her side on my bed.
"Harriet, you love me, don't you?"
"Of course I do, darling," she replied.
"And I'm the only one for you, right?"
"Right," She smiled.
I added hypnotic power to my voice. "And if you ever had a problem, you'd come to me, and if you needed to talk to someone, you'd choose me."
"Yes, darling," she murmured, gazing into my eyes, almost as if she were willing me to turn the hypnotic power on there.
I made it an outright suggestion when I said "I'm the only person you can turn to. The only person who understands."
"Yes, master," Harriet whispered, evidently stunned by the way I had changed so quickly from persuasion to suggestion (though naturally, she didn't know those terms).
"Harriet, you will feel pain without me. It will feel like there's a hole in your chest when I'm not around because life is dull and unsatisfactory when one is missing one's soul mate. You will feel that I'm your soul mate. No one could love you half as much as I do, no one will see you in exactly the way I see you. No one could ever make you feel the warmth and joy and security I bring you. Harriet, I am irreplaceable."
"You're irreplaceable," she repeated.
ii) Possessive Statements
"You're mine." My gaze turned hypnotic too.
"I'm yours."
"Your heart is mine."
"My heart is yours."
"Your soul is mine."
"My soul is yours."
And finally, the words I had not been able to say on that day in half tem: "Your will is mine."
Harriet, transfixed by my eyes, mesmerised by my voice - in other words, utterly under my power - repeated.
To my complete surprise, she half rolled, half fell onto her front, eyes closed.
"Harriet?" I asked, concerned.
She woke up, dazed.
And then she looked at me. And stared.
Observed Effect
Total Captivation. There was so much love in her eyes and awe in her expression that her mind must have been spinning.
For a long time, she didn't say anything. She just sat there, looking at me as if I were an angel.
Finally, she whispered one word. One word that put this whole situation, our entire lives into perspective.
The word was "Wow."
"My will is yours."
The world went black. And when I reopened my eyes, it was filled with dazzling light. Except it wasn't. Because filling my vision was Arthur, not any blinding sunshine or glorious moonlight. But he was like the sun and moon combined. It's hard to explain. He wasn't glowing or exuding a visible aura or anything like that, but the way I felt about him, the emotions he evoked from my soul, made him to me the most radiant person to look at. It was like ... luxury to gaze upon him. And for a long time, I simply sat there, my breath taken away by his stunning ... him-ness.
My vision, my feelings and my acute awareness of the perfection of this moment crystallised into a single syllable that seemed to convey every last thought in my mind.
And Arthur was looking at me, his expression revealing that he was sincerely touched so that I was almost moved by my own effect on him.
I thought I could see tears in his eyes as he whispered "Oh, Harriet, this is so special."
"It is, Arthur," I agreed, and I knew (because Arthur would always recognise every tiny detail in my speech and actions and understand it) that he could hear that his name was like a substitute for 'master' because his captivating nature was so overpowering that I couldn't help but feel like his slave. This wasn't a bad thing, though. I knew Arthur would never ever exploit his power over me or do anything that would hurt or sadden me.
He sat me up, took my hands and kissed them.
"Never leave me, darling," he said, his eyes filling.
How could he think that I would?
"I won't. I can't. I love you, Arthur. You're the one most important person in my life and if you left, I could never feel happiness again."
He hugged me tightly.
"I will never leave you," he promised, the intensity of his love almost making him sound aggressive. But Arthur was gentle, tender, sweet, kind: he would never hurt me.
"I love you, Arthur," I repeated for emphasis.
"I love you, too, Harriet."
And those words would mean I could last through anything.


text: Of all the hundreds of thousands of sentences that newspapers publish, rare is the one in praise of Hazel Blears. Yet the communities secretary deserves at least a few garlands for the good idea she announced yesterday. Rather than have shops left vacant on recession-hit high streets, Ms Blears says she will help non-retail businesses move in. That empty Woolies could make way for a health centre; that disused boutique could be turned into an art gallery. True, the helping hand is small - facilitating finger might be more accurate. But the few millions dished out and the waiving of some planning restrictions is better than nothing. Few things are worse for a retailer than to have boarded-up buildings on either side, acting as eyesores or even magnets for crime. More important, though, is the direction set by the scheme. First, it enshrines the principle that our retail centres might not serve only as a source of rent, but could serve some (less profitable) social utility. Even better, it suggests that the high street can be about more than retail. In many town centres the high street has become a poor, denuded place - devoid of all-essential parking, overshadowed by the local megamarket and about as close as the British built environment comes to desertification. This is no way to treat our community centres, and this recession offers a chance to put right this neglect. Small as it is, Ms Blears's scheme should be developed into a larger plan to revive our high streets.

#1 Consumer Comment
Not a Scam!!
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 22, 2013POSTED: Friday, November 22, 2013
I am very cautious when I order products from a new website and always check for scam and ripoff sites that have any negative comments about the store I am considering giving my credit card info to. I searched a few sites to catch any red flags about WhatAPortrait.com and only found this one bad review. It immediately made me hault in the process of ordering.
I contacted a customer service representive from the site (his name was Nitin) via thier online Chat option, and he assured me that this was a false claim. Of course I thought he may not be telling the truth, until he offered the option of sending me progress photos through out the painting production process. He also gave me the option to hold a portion of my payment until I recieved a satisfactory finished product.
Sure enough, a few days later I received a picture of my photo-being-turned-into-a-painting in the sketcha phase! A few days later I saw the first painting phase and so on until I got a preview of the final product.

This rustic wine-savvy eatery—located inside the Muse Hotel—offers creative American cuisine geared toward theatergoers and out-of-towners. We enjoyed a starter of sweet persimmon carpaccio with avocado, shrimp and tangy goat cheese, and a gooey croque-monsieur made with smoky ham, Brie and spinach. Sommelier Emily Wines is on hand for pairings: Pork belly sliders, served with spicy ginger mustard, pineapple and bok choy, were an excellent match for a dry, peppery 2007 Ridge zinfandel; for dessert, try a warm, spongy maple bread-pudding paired with a honey-rich wine, like the La Spinetta Bricco Quaglia Moscato d'Asti 2007.

Bless YouMature
since halloween is coming up...
Jane was sitting outside on a cold yet warm winters day. She was studying everyone at the university as they walked by, thinking about what they must be like or what their stories were. She saw a couple holding hands, smiling sweetly at eachother, and what must have been a teacher dropping his books. She loved to do this, just see what lives others were living. Also, since her last boyfriend had dumped her for someone else and her love life was none existent, she loved to attempt to feel the happiness of other couples that she was now lacking. After about 2 hours of this, she decided to head to her dorm for dinner, movie and bed.
In the morning, Jane was greeted by a smack in the face by a newspaper. When she yelped, her roomate Alli exclaimed "Just read it! Right on the front cover!" Jane read the title and suddenly felt nauseated. "Late night killer murders university student" This couldn't possibly be at her university? But as it would be, reading on, she found that it was her university. She discovered the name of the girl, Chazelle who was 21 years old, had been found in her bed, with her throat cut. Jane was astounded; things like this weren't supposed to happen.
Twenty minutes later she got word that the university was calling a meeting for everyone to get together and talk about what had happened, and counsellors would be available to friends of the girl. After attending the meeting, she met up with her best friend Alice, who for some reason was in a great mood. When Jane asked, "How could you possibly be in such a good mood after something like this has happened?", Alice replied, "Well first off, I heard that Chazelle was a bit of a whore and was pretty much selling herself when she was killed. It doesnt make it that much better, but still. Second, I found this guy who's perfect for you!"
Jane thought it was hilarious that that was what was on Alice's mind. She asked for his name and how the two had met. Alice told her that his name was Greg, that he was funny, cute, vibrant and... she had met him online. "You met him online!?" said Jane.
"Don't be angry with me. He started talking to be my accident, he said he thought I was someone else. We got talking, and he's really great. Here's how to contact him!" And that was all. Jane headed back to her room to wrap her head around all that had happened.
She was lying in bed with her laptop on her stomach, when she finally decided to give Greg a try. She set up an account on the website she was given and added him. Immediately, he had said hi and they began to speak like they'd known eachother for ages.
This went on for about 7 days, when again Jane was just lying in bed, finishing some homework and talking to Greg. Suddenly she felt a sneeze coming on, and when it came out it felt like the best thing ever. She said to Greg, "Sorry about that!" and he replied, "No worries, bless you."
Jane was found dead in her bed the next day.

The Richmond Kickers will serve as D.C. United's affiliate, a deal that will facilitate full-time assignments for young MLS players in the U.S. third division. Thursday's announcement comes a day after MLS and USL formed a partnership in an effort to improve player development.
The United-Kickers pact is for just one year "because we want to see how [the MLS-USL arrangement] evolves," DCU General Manager Dave Kasper said. However, "we believe it's something that can grow into a productive, long-term partnership."
United will send at least four young players to Richmond for full-time training and league matches from March through August. The Kickers will open April 6 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Richmond's City Stadium. [Full schedule here.]
United also has the flexibility to send additional players on short-term assignments. Several MLS teams plan to enter affiliations with the 13 USL clubs. Players assigned to USL teams will continue to be paid by their MLS employers. The USL is on the third tier of the U.S. soccer pyramid, under MLS and the North American Soccer League.
Richmond Coach Leigh Cowlishaw is scheduled to join United in Orlando next month to observe training camp, Kasper said, but ultimately United will decide who will join the Kickers full-time. Those players will remain eligible for MLS matches.
Under the set-up, United will no longer field a team in MLS's reserve league. The Kickers will play two games against the Vancouver Whitecaps' reserve squad, with the results counting in the USL and reserve league standings.
"We've talked to Leigh for several years about a stronger partnership," Kasper said. "We've worked with them in the past [sending players on loan] and we know they do things right. It's a win-win."
With Richmond just two hours away, United coaches and technical staff will be able to monitor players in training and matches.
According to United's research, 18 DCU players have featured for the Kickers over the past 20 years either on loan or under contract, including Dwayne De Rosario, Clyde Simms, Richie Williams, Brian Carroll and Bryan Namoff. Last year, defender Ethan White and forward Long Tan went on periodic loans to Richmond.
In other United news:
*As reported on the Insider's Twitter site Wednesday, goalkeeper Diego Restrepo was released from training camp to pursue an opportunity with the Philadelphia Union. With all three keepers from 2012 in camp soon, Restrepo had little chance of making the roster. He starred at the University of Virginia in 2009 and '10, and played in the Colombian and Venezuelan first divisions the past two years.
*Evan Raynr, a UCLA midfielder selected in the supplemental draft Tuesday, has joined the club in Bradenton, Fla.
*United's first preseason game is this Saturday at 11 a.m. against the Columbus Crew at IMG Academy. No streaming video is available.
*United and Philadelphia have agreed to a friendly Feb. 20 at Boster Sports Complex in Deltona, Fla. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. The game, which is open to the public, comes during the clubs' stay in the Orlando area for the Disney Pro Soccer Classic, a preseason tournament.

Version 2.21
The ideal tool if you need to defrag individual files, not a whole hard disk
1, 032, 600 Downloads
- High-speed download
- Checked for viruses
- Free
This Defraggler download is a clever bit of freeware that has a different approach to most defragmenters you might have seen.
For example, if you use the defrag software built into Windows (called Disk Defragmenter) you have to defragment an entire partition on a hard drive. It's a slow process that can take several hours, depending on the size of the drive.
Defraggler works smarter, enabling you to choose specific files or folders to defragment, dramatically speeding up the time it takes to optimise your storage and potentially free up disk space. Furthermore, this free tool lets you check the health of a partition on your hard drive.
According to the developers, the latest version of Defraggler is now more stable and the overall performance of the tool has been increased. You can find more information about the changes on the Defraggler homepage.

I was playing around cron and the following command
worked fine I think.Code:crontab -e
Then I installed gnome-schedule and didn't like it too much ..
so I removed it and run again
but nothing was shown, while I had a default crontab file beforeCode:crontab -e
and then I noticed that the above command opened a temporary file instead like
I tried to edit it with nano, but when I save it of course nothing is changed on my system because its a temporary file.Code:File: /tmp/crontab.UHzZnP/crontab
I searched for /etc/cron.allow or /etc/cron.deny but they don't exist.
What can be changed installing gnome-schedule and how can I turn my system back in order to be able to use crontab -e again?
Thank you for any suggestion

Data Key
Definition - What does Data Key mean?
A data key is a key which holds a variable value which can be applied to a string or a text block, in order for it to be encrypted or decrypted. It must be noted that a data key is used to encrypt and decrypt only data but not keys, as required in certain encryption formulas.
Techopedia explains Data Key
The act of converting data into unreadable ciphers for security purposes is known as encryption. And likewise, converting ciphers back into the original data is known as decryption. In order to encrypt and decrypt, a data key is needed.
In the case that the data key is the same for both encryption and decryption, it is called a symmetric key. Examples of symmetric keys are in the Data Encryption Standard (DES) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). If the data key is different for encryption and decryption, it is called an asymmetric key. An example of this is RSA encryption. Asymmetric key encryption is more secure.

Robin: CoffeeMature
They discharge Trixie a few hours after she wakes up and seriously the bruises look worse than they are. I hold her hand tightly more following than leading and supporting her as we leave the hospital. It only when we step into the cold wind that I speak.
"Can we go and have some hot chocolate?"
Trixie turns and looks at me before smiling. "Sure" she says. I feel her arm slip round my waist as we walk. I at first am shocked but the way she holds me pressed to her side in protective and caring. Soon I'm relaxing and resting my head on her shoulder as we walk. My arms also hug her waist.
We get to a costa's and sit in a corner booth away from allthe glares of the people in the shop. We just sit hugging but eventually I have to get up to get our drinks cause the waitress ignored us especially after we had kissed. I brought the drinks back and hugged Trixie again.

Riel and the propositionMature
Riel awoke to the jarring nose of her cell phone ringing. It wasn't a cheery song or hipster beat like most people had, but the loudest and most obnoxious, ring she could find. Riel was not a cheery person, or a person for frills so it was the only that suited. A pale arm snaked out from beneath the covers to grab the phone and retreated back in. She opened the small flip phone and felt her lip curl when she saw who was calling. She let it ring for a moment longer, debating on whether to pick up at all, and then answered.
"Hello Drake, what do you want this time?"
"Oh Riel, is that any way to greet an old brother in arms?" he tutted. Riel felt her full lips curl in extreme dislike. Whenever Drake called, it was always because he wanted something from her.
"Yeah it is, especially when that person wakes me up too early with their bullshit."
"Oh, ouch. Harsh as ever I see." Riel sighed, and sat up in her nest of blankets. She ran a hand through her long black hair and padded into her small kitchen. She turned on the coffee maker and inhaled the deep scent of her special columbian blend. It was the only thing that was going well this morning.
"I'll say it again, what do you want Drake?"

Reflect announced that it has raised $2.5 million in a seed round for its data visualization platform led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ). The funding will be used to bring on board employees, including developers, designers, community manager, marketers, and eventually salespeople.
Although other investors participated, including Founders' Co-Op, Liquid 2 Ventures, Techstars, Stanford University, and notable angel investors, 80 percent of the round came from DFJ. As a result, partner Bill Bryant is said to be taking a board seat, while founding chief executive of Jive Software Dave Hersh becomes an independent member.
A graduate of Techstars' Seattle program in 2016, Reflect specializes in providing developers quick visualizations to embed into their applications. With its software, users can configure dashboards, reports, and graphical views of their data without needing to deal with any complex infrastructure and libraries. It considers itself to be what Twilio has done for cloud communications — the platform for data visualization.
"Companies are spending millions of dollars and wasting years building infrastructure, APIs, and entire front-ends to visualize data for their teams and customers," explained Reflect chief executive Alex Bilmes. "Data visualization isn't a core competency for most companies, nor should it. Today, they are forced to hire teams of experts — designers, developers, product managers, and data scientists — to get things done. With Reflect, all it takes is a simple API."
The funding by DFJ is notable since it was an early investor in Twilio, which could indicate that it possibly sees huge billion dollar potential in it. Bryant addressed this: "Through our experience with Twilio and more recently other portfolio companies like Mapbox, Chef, and CircleCI, we've seen first hand that developers are quickly migrating to 'composing' applications from a curated, vetted set of robust, highly performant APIs, components, and micro services that deliver a particular piece of needed functionality, as a service."
Since the launch of its private beta, Reflect said more than 1,000 companies have requested access to its platform, including Microsoft, Simply Measured, Tune, and Barracuda.

[google_news title="" keyword="Howard Hughes Medical Institute research" num_posts="7″ blurb_length="0″ show_thumb="left"]
It was founded by the American businessman Howard Hughes in 1953. It is one of the largest private funding organizations for biological and medical research in the United States. HHMI spends about $1 million per HHMI Investigator per year, which amounts to annual investment in biomedical research of about $825 million.
The institute has an endowment of $16.9 billion, making it the second-wealthiest philanthropic organization in the United States and the second best endowed medical research foundation in the world. HHMI is the former owner of the Hughes Aircraft Company – an American aerospace firm which was divested to various firms over time.

I looked like a slut.
Yep, I had my look spot on!
My LBD was incredibly little, and I was wearing the most sparkly heels known to man. Erik wasn't going to be able to keep his hands off me.
I heard my Blackberry vibrating on my bed covers, like the sound a bee makes when you trap it under a cup. He had texted me:
"Hey Ang, lookin forward to seeing you 2nite. Love you E xxx"
I found him incredibly dull, but he was fit as hell. I wasn't letting go of this catch for a while. I heard Mum call from downstairs.
"Angie! I already told you about putting your thongs to the wash. They break the machine!"
Cheers Mum, don't think the deaf chap in Timbucktu quite caught that.
Ignoring my mother's embarassment, I paraded down the stairs and clambered into the back of the car.
Dad looked angry. We drove in silence for a few minutes until he finally said
"That mother of yours can be such a bitch. Fancy her nagging me for being lazy, I work so hard for this family..."
It was always the same. Blah blah blah I work so hard ya da ya da. I rolled my eyes and tuned out. Soon we arrived at the destination - Hilary's house. Music was already blasting and one girl was already drunk.
It was only 9 pm.
I quickly fiddled with my hair and added another layer of gloss. My father stared at me from the side mirror.
"You look like a prostitute."
"Jee, thanks Dad." I said sarcastically.
"Call me when you want a lift, but I'm not picking up after 2am."
"Fine. Bye Dad." I slammed the car door. I was already cold. I looked around for my friends, who weren't to difficult to find, there seemed to be so many of them, all over enthusiastic to see me. Greeaat!
I played along. One girl who's name I didn't even remember piped up
"OMG Angelina, you're going to knock Erik dead in that outfit,!"
"You bet I will." I smiled, then made my way for the doors.
It was time to pretend like I was having the night of my life.

Nagiza is a normal, 17-year old girl with a family that doesn't really act normal around her. She thought she had a normal life, but she was wrong when one night she got attacked by a really horrible monster called a specteran; because she lived through the ambush, now she has to team up with a group of people called the warriors, who have weird powers, to stop a war..
Ever since the year 1776, a war has been going on around the world between two groups of people. A species of monsters called specterans and the good guys who just call themselves the warriors. However, both groups had a leader, or king/queen. The warriors' was a late-20's looking female named Hegiki, while for the specterans, it was a middle-aged man named Isamu. In order to stop Isamu from gaining her powers though, she had to seperate her powers and memories away, one from each into little crystals that scattered all around the world.
Now in the present. It's March 13, 2013 around twilight time. No one else is in the house because they're either at work or at a friends'; but Nagiza wanted to go out to buy dinner for her family. As she's walking back, the news can be heard. "Hello. Robin Roberts from Good Morning America. A new body has been found with mysterious fang and claw marks all over its' body. This is a warning to everyone to not walk the streets alone at night." And unfortunately, that's exactly what Nagiza was doing with the store bags--since the store isn't far from her house. As she's walking, there isn't even a car passing by. Glancing off, she looks around. [I]Okay...no cars. No big deal..We live on a dead end.[/I]
Right after though, a bottle falls on the ground, making a big noise. Stopping after turning around, she's still by herself. She gulps a little. "Is someone there..?!" No one responded. After hesitating, Nagiza turns back around and starts to walk a little more faster, heading home. Although, she doesn't get far until a long, large, and weird growl is heard. After a shiver rolls up her spine, Nagiza runs off, trying to get away from all of it. Even after running passed a young man that was covered up in a black cloak.
[I]No-..No..I can't die yet..! Someone..please...![/I] However, right after a really tall, ugly monster aka specteran showed up with its' big fangs hanging out of it's drooling mouth. "Ahh. My dinner came to me." It said as it grabbed her with it's upper arms. Being terrified, Nagiza let out a big scream, which the guy in the cloak heard. Somehow, then, Nagiza felt someone's hands on her shoulders and then she felt herself standing beside the mystery guy; and both of them were standing behind the monster, with the guy holding a spear up, glaring up at the thing. "You..You saved me..?" Nagiza muttered in astonishment. She was seriously shaking now...She was almost killed like all those other people that were on the news..
Nagiza's rescuer just glanced at her for a second before the specteran started to charge at both of them, seeking food and yelling. Nagiza gasps then yells, "Look out!" Right before the specteran hit him, the guy in the cloak grabbed the specterans' claw, gripped it, then..ripped it off. Ugh. It all went by Nagiza so fast.. First she was just walking home from the store with groceries, about to be killed by a monster, and now some mysterious guy who saved her was killing it.
"Burn to ashes." Said the man as he held up his palms towards the specteran. His hands started to glow red, then multiple fire bullets came out of both of them and started to engult it. After leaping up on the screaming monster's shoulders, to make sure it would die, the guy rips the monsters' head off with blood spurting everywhere. Nagiza scowls and covers her eyes as some of the monster's blood splatters on her face and clothes. Waiting a minute to lower her arms, she sees the man, who has really bright blue eyes, staring at her. Before Nagiza can respond, she's grabbed again and thrown into the passenger seat of a car with a light yelp. Immediately after the guy gets in and drives off, she slowly sits up. [I]Great. Now I'm being kidnapped..[/I] "Wait..Stop! What-- the hell was that thing..!? Who..are you? Where are you taking me!?"
That shuts her up and she leans on the back of the seat. "You shouldn't even still be alive.....What's your name?"
After regaining her breath, she's still sweating a little. "N..n-nagiza. A-nd what do you mean I "shouldn't still be alive". Who are you..!
Once sighing, she heard him say,"My name is none of your business. As for that monster back there? Well...unless you want to be attacked again, stay with me." Once again, after Nagiza sighs exasperately and before she's able to respond again, she feels a light tap on the back of her neck.
Her eyes start to droop low and she feels like she's about to fall. Although, before she passes out, she hears her rescuer murmur, "I'm sorry."

Iron.io Launches IronMQ in Europe
|IronMQ is now available in Europe
Iron.io is happy to announce today the launch of IronMQ services in Europe. IronMQ EU provides the full functionality of IronMQ as is currently available in the US and is available to the public in general release.
IronMQ offers two endpoints in Europe – AWS EU-West and Rackspace-LON. These endpoints join services in AWS US-East (N.Virginia) and Rackspace-Ord (Chicago). Switching regions and clouds is as simple as changing endpoints within messaging clients and can be accomplished on the fly.
IronMQ is one of the leading messaging queuing services in the cloud and provides developers with an easy and reliable way to create distributed applications and operate at scale. Customers are using IronMQ to create service-oriented architectures, process streaming data, connect mobile apps, sync with legacy systems, and handle other core messaging and event-handling needs.
Reduced Message Latency + European Data Locality
The launch is in response to increased demand from European customers who want to have message queues available in the same region as their applications. With the release, these customers in the EU can now benefit from reduced message latency as well as having all message data retained within the European region.
The API servers, MQ servers, and data persistence layer for IronMQ EU all run in European datacenters. IronMQ EU is running the most current release of IronMQ and will continue to do so on the same schedule as Iron.io's US-based datacenters.
Features available in IronMQ EU include one-time guaranteed delivery (no duplicate messages), secure OAuth gateways, HTTP/REST access, FIFO (first-in, first-out), push queues, multiple language bindings, and more.
Reduced message latency and European data locality are the biggest drivers for our push to launch IronMQ in Europe. It's important that applications running in Europe avoid the cost of transmitting messages to and from US regions. This release answers these needs and provides startups and production-scale applications with easy and reliable access to state-of-the-art message queuing services.
– Chad Arimura, CEO, Iron.io
Connecting to IronMQ EU
Changing your cloud is as simple as selecting the host you want. You can set the host in your Iron.io configuration files and connect to the service via REST APIs or client libraries. Each of the official IronMQ client libraries allows you to change a configuration setting to set the host the library connects to. Client libraries are available for almost all common languages.
IronMQ also has support for a growing number of application frameworks via third-party integrations. These include bindings for Laravel, Drupal, Celery, Yii, .NET Framework, and others. Use of these frameworks with IronMQ EU is also a matter specifying the appropriate endpoints within the configuration files.
|AWS US-East (Virginia)
|AWS EU-West (Ireland)
|Rackspace ORD (Chicago)
|Rackspace LON (London)
Note: Certain elements of the backend persistence layer for IronMQ EU reside in the Rackspace European datacenter.
IronMQ – Built for the Cloud and Geographic Distribution
A messaging layer is key to creating reliable and scalable distributed systems. It is a primary structural component in production-scale applications and provides work dispatch, load buffering, synchronicity, database offloading, and many other core needs.
IronMQ provides a durable high-performance message queue accessible through API calls and open-standard message protocols. It it built specifically for the cloud and for running independently in datacenters around the world.
The service is easy to use, highly available, and requires no setup, no maintenance, and no ops. This translates into reduced complexity, greater speed to market, and increased reliability and scalability.
Iron.io services are being used to power social media, ecommerce, mobile, transportation, and industrial applications. With the release of IronMQ EU, developers in Europe now have increased flexibility and increased performance as they move from monolithic application structures and adopt more distributed and scalable service-oriented architectures.
Safe Harbor Compliance
Iron.io is certified to US-EU and US-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. These frameworks are with respect to the collection, use, and retention of personal information from EU member countries and Switzerland.
Specificially, Iron.io has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. For more information, please refer to sections in our privacy policy and the associated links to the Safe Harbor specifications.
We Want Your Feedback
IronMQ service in Europe is available now and so you can sign up and get running in seconds. If you have comments or questions about the Iron.io European region or wish to address private or enterprise plans, please contact us at support (at) iron.io.

chihauhau with adeniocarcinoma
I have an 11 year old chi with cancer:( Inoperable tumor and the doc has only given us 6 weeks before the bridge(gulp)! Does anyone know anything "holistic" that may help him with the cancer he has?? or even anything that would help him eat better and be more comfortable, until...............Lil Bit is also having trouble eating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! He can only eat wet food because of some other problems.

I'm really sorry that he's so sick. You can try posting this on the health forum on the site. There are more people there. Maybe someone can help. Good Luck!

There is a holistic all natural food diet called blue buffalo. It has all natural ingredients in it and no by products in it.There are life source bits inside the dog food that helps boost the immune system in the dogs.They also sell the canned food. If you choose to have the dog food with the life source bits because of health reasons you can buy the dry dog food and grind it up in a blender. Either way your dog will love it. Blue buffalo also make treats as well. It may be bit pricier but ive heard more positive things about this food than negative. I hope this works for your dog. www.bluebuffalo.com is the website

All reader reviews by Wimbledon Local
I regularly visited this restaurant until a few months ago. After returning back to the UK after 6 months of travel, I was keen to go back and enjoy this restaurant. What a surprise I had when the service was terrible, the menu the SAME, yes no updates to the menu in about 2 years now.
The waiter completely forgot about us, and our mains for 2 people took 35 mins on a Tuesday night!
After not visiting this restaurant for 2 moths we decided to give it another go. Upon entering the restaurant the service to be settled on a Sunday night was poor (even though there were loads of spare tables) and again the food the same old.
Big disappointment - stay clear of this restaurant which is a shame as its got huge potential.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."
"The name is very attention getting with the recent death of Prince. The link to the crochet pattern takes me to a different posting on this site where the project is included within a free ebook with 16 other easy crafts. There you can download the entire ebook as a pdf in order to get the pattern."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Create this fun Just Because Layout from Hampton Art after a fun day out on the town with your kids or friends! This easy to make scrapbooking layout is great for beginning and advanced scrapbookers alike! If you'd like, you can change the colors of the paper to suit your desired layout.
- 1 5x7 bracket envelope (red)
- 3 scallop straight envelopes
- Mix up of stamps and inkers
- Felt with buttons
- The first step was that on the scallop straight envelopes I cut the front and back apart. I only wanted the backside, so I used the front to punch things from for another project.
- Layer the backs of the envelopes so you have the 3 pretty much going across the layout. Just make sure nothing is even....no measuring, just go for it.
- Next place your red envelope in the center.
- For the photos I used 4 4x6 photos trimmed and corner rounded.
- And finally stamp along the top edges of the envelopes and along the bottom right.

Here's what you need to know about these new multi-core, multi-threading powerhouses.
Check out the latest announcements & solutions, and what experts are saying about them!
Computers are an essential part of modern day life, whether you're shopping on your laptop, getting work done on a desktop, or watching funny cat videos on your tablet (because everybody needs more funny cat videos in their lives). For the best deals on computers in Canada, Best Buy is the first place most people think of, and for good reason. Take our huge selection of computers and accessories, sprinkle in some incredible sales and deals, and you've got the ideal destination for picking up your next computing device.
When it comes to enhancing your digital life, a laptop is a must-have. Today's laptops are powerful enough to handle everything you throw at them, from power-intensive tasks like gaming and video editing to everyday stuff like browsing the web and flipping through photos. Since they're portable, you can use one wherever you want: check your Facebook feed while sitting on the couch in front of the TV, finish a report while sipping a foamy drink at the coffee shop, or bring it to your buddy's place to show off photos from your amazing travel adventure.
Tablets hit the sweet spot between form and functionality. They're small enough to fit into your bag, but have enough screen real estate to provide an enjoyable experience for watching videos and reading eBooks or articles. Some models are basically laptops in tablet form, complete with laptop-grade hardware and operating systems (like Windows 10). Simply connect a keyboard (and maybe a mouse or stylus) and you've got fully-functioning computer in a package that's compact enough to carry around everywhere you go.
If you prefer to use your computer while sitting at your desk or need to do some heavy-duty work, a desktop computer is the way to go. You can get great computer hardware for a reasonable price, and PCs are upgradeable so you can swap out a processor or boost the memory if you feel the need. Some desktops are designed for specific uses: a gaming PC features high-octane hardware that can handle graphics-heavy games, while a mini PC includes budget-friendly, customizable components that are perfect for a variety of uses.
Once you've decided which type of computer meets your needs, you can start looking for add-ons and accessories that'll enhance the experience. If you want bigger visuals, pick up a monitor and get all the screen you need. Networking components, like wireless routers, are essential for creating a Wi-Fi hotspot so you can keep your laptop or tablet supplied with a strong wireless signal throughout the house. Printers allow you to produce important documents, and some multifunction models can also scan and make copies. Need to carry your laptop around? Pick up a laptop bag or case so it can be a constant companion throughout your busy day.

I have lots of hobbies and enjoy my downtime, too. But I think what matters most is the interpersonal stuff: how we treat others, what we care about and who we make time for.
I like to spend my time trying out new stuff in the kitchen or working on projects.
Books: I just got back most of my books I had to leave behind when I was moving around. What I have is usually a bit of the bizarre or sublime. Think Vonnegut or Palahniuk, and I reread Calvin and Hobbes often.
Movies: Wes Anderson, Q Tarantino, Coen Brothers, and pretty much anything with Bill Murray.
TV shows that need to be brought back: Dirty Jobs, MST3K.
Music: I love pretty much any live music, but I'd prefer an outdoor festival to a cramped club. Rock music peaked in the late 80s and early 90s. I like the folksy stuff and indie rock that is out now, but sometimes I need some Faith No More or Blind Melon.
A bicycle
mp3 player/library
A good local pizzeria
Late nights/sleeping in
I mostly look for chemistry when I meet someone new. Yeah, it's hard to define, but I think it requires putting yourself out there for people to see. If their is a sense of connection, I see where it goes.

|Microsoft's JDBC driver with Tomcat 5.0.16 on Linux
|Mon, 05 Jan 2004 22:25:21 GMT
Hi, I know that Microsoft's newsgroups would be a better place. I already posted there, but I didn't get any response, so I'm trying here. I'm using Microsoft JDBC drivers SP2 for SQL 2000, and my SQL server is SQL 2000 SP3. I'm using the drivers with Tomcat 5.0.16 on Mandrake Linux 9.0. On my SQL Server, master's collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN, and my database's collation is Latin1_General_BIN. All my varchar fields use database's default collation. When I'm accessing data with special French characters like "é", "è", "à", ... I'm getting "?" instead. If I try Tomcat on Windows, I don't have this problem. Also, when I use i-net sofware's Opta JDBC driver for SQL Server, everything works fine. What do I have to do to get these characters correctly? Thank you.

| Maurice
"If you wouldn't mind... DON'T SCREAM DIRECTLY IN MY EAR LIKE THAT, IDIOT!"Flashみちる, (Michiru?) is a cranky bird islander from the Animal Crossing series. His name may have came from the bright colors of his feathers. His Japanese name can translate into quite a few things; Manchu, to grow up, to rise, to be full (i.e. full moon) etc.
— Flash, Animal Crossing
Flash is a very dapper-looking blue bird. He has a pink-red beak and he wears a straw hat. Under his beak is an orange and yellow mark which covers his entire chin, and up to his beak. He also has a swirl of dark blue hair. He wears a Blue Aloha Shirt because he is a male islander.
|Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here.
Fruit Allergy
As an islander, he has a favorite fruit and a fruit that he is allergic to. Feeding him the allergy fruit will reduce the likelihood of his dropping money bags. Flash is allergic to peaches and loves apples.
