The researchPoint of researchModule isn't defined in campaign stats, and from experiments I know it is hardcoded to double the time up. However, I calculated the time (55000/14/2, this is the raw time without any research upgrades) and found that, yes, no research upgrades are taken count into. Calculator shows that I should complete the research in 1964 seconds, and from gdb I discovered in gamma 8 I just have to research this amount of time.
For further testing, could you provide me a mission which unlocks research upgrade?
EDIT: I've tested. Yes, in campaign research upgrades doesn't work. Need to fix it.
EDIT2: And I believe that all upgrades in campaign are malfunctioned. This also should be fixed.
EDIT3: Above apply to master only. Not 3.1.1. 3.1.1 is quite bugless

CHAPEL HILL -- Before last night, this North Carolina basketball team had never felt the floor of the Smith Center shake.
But this game was no ordinary game, the crowd was no ordinary crowd and the Smith Center shook on the way to Carolina's 74-66 win over archrival Duke.
There's never anything quite like the UNC-Duke game, but this year something was different. The building was filled to bursting with fans that were forced to wait through snowstorms and postponements for this game.
And they were hungry, hungry enough to make the Smith Center electric.
"(The energy) was unbelievable," sophomore Marcus Paige said. "That's probably the loudest, craziest environment I've been in—home or away—and obviously that helps when we're making a run, when we get the lead and the place just erupts. It makes you play with even more passion and really try to get it done."
"Every time we made a play (the crowd was) right there with us, every time we inched back, even when we got down 11, they didn't give up on us, we didn't give up on our effort or our intensity and those things matter."
Carolina was able to feed off that energy and it fought back from that 11-point deficit in the second half by switching up its defense—specifically calling on a 1-3-1 zone that it had yet to debut in a game - to keep the Blue Devils guessing.
The deafening crowd and a new defense weren't the only contributing factors to the big win, though. The Tar Heels were also able to use their size advantage against a slightly smaller Duke team to execute on the boards.
"(Rebounding) was huge. That was one thing we talked about: we're the bigger team, we have guys that can rebound better, we need to outrebound them," Paige said. "(We said) we have to win the war on the boards in order for us to have a chance because of how good a shooting team they are and we stepped up."
UNC outrebounded Duke 43-30, and those rebounds were especially crucial when Carolina's varied defense unsettled the Blue Devils and caused them to start missing shots, giving UNC chances to take advantage of Duke's empty possessions.
The Tar Heels capitalized on those chances by shooting better in the second half, but they also capitalized by getting to the line and making free throws down the stretch - something Carolina has struggled with this season.
In the last five minutes of the game, UNC went a perfect 8-8 from the free throw line, first to get within two and then - after James Michael McAdoo tied it and Leslie McDonald and Paige got Carolina up by four - to put the game away.
Freshman Nate Britt alone went 4-4 in the final minute, and 6-6 throughout the game, to help seal the win for his team.
"Loved our guys' composure down the stretch. Free throws have been a problem for us; there is no question," head coach Roy Williams said. "But we stepped up there...I think that was really big for us."
The volume was already earsplitting, but the crowd managed to get louder after each free throw swished through the net and the outcome became clear.
After losing in the Smith Center to the Blue Devils for the last two years, Williams wanted nothing more than to live up to that crowd and that atmosphere.
"The biggest thought I had when I came out, the crowd was into it so much. Last year on senior day, I felt that we really let the crowd down, and I didn't want to do that tonight," Williams said. "Our crowd was sensational the whole game, even when we were down, they were into it. It was the only negative thought I had before the game sitting on the bench, I hope we don't let them down."
And if the rush to midcourt and the emotion as the alma mater rang out after the final buzzer were any indication, Williams got his wish.

Sedge Ridge 4x4 Snow Run
Report and photos by
Clay Graham
Eastern Washington Adventures
On Saturday January 3rd, 2009 we met up at the Tampico church.
After airing down we took the South Fork Ahtanum Road into the mountains.
We turned up the Boulder Trail.
The first climb was very challenging. It was icy under the snow and my rig wanted to crab walk off the side of the mountain.
Here is the first open area.
Here we all are after the first climb.
On up the trail to the next open area.
Blind-Pilot having fun.
The drifts across the open area were deep.
Here's what ahead.
Up the hill and around the corner was even deeper.
Blind-Pilot took the lead breaking trail.
Here Blind-Pilot backed up for a big run at the powder snow.
Guedo checking out the view as Blind-Pilot plows the trail ahead.
At the next switch-back I took the lead again. The drifts were getting bigger.
Here is a big drift up the trail a ways.
It took me a long time to get through this one.
Up the trail I find another big one. I start cutting into it to keep off the edge.
We back down a little ways so Blind-Pilot could take the lead again.
A nice view over looking Tampico and the Yakima Valley.
On up the trail I hear someone call me on the CB that wasn't in the group.
It was Jerry. He was at home all the way across the Yakima Valley.
He sounded clear as if he was right there with us on the mountain.
Blind-Pilot doing a great job breaking trail for us.
I took over the lead for awhile.
The snow was not working for us. I was pushing way too much to get but a few inches farther at a time.
I was starting to run to low on fuel to keep pushing ahead. We turned around to go back down.
Another great view of the Yakima Valley.
Heading back down toward the South Fork Ahtanum road.
Down on the South Fork Ahtanum road we stopped so Scuba could get his XJ out of low range. He has to do it from below the rig.
Here we are back in Tampico airing up.
The snow conditions were a lot better then the run we did two day before on the next ridge over.
No one got stuck. This was a nice day and a great run thanks to all who came.[/quote]

Emily HTML version
I wanted to yell at her and tell her not to do that again, but her child-like innocent
laughter kept me from saying anything. Each and every time she would take off , my heart
would race into my throat. But I knew that as much as I wanted those moments to last
forever, I couldn't always be there when she landed. I couldn't always stop her from
falling off and crashing to the ground.
"Judy!" That's my name, I think to myself, don't wear it out.
"Judy!" That's the big, fat judge calling my name.
"I'm not going to ask you again," he pauses and I know he's going to ask me
again. "Can you stop ignoring me and explain why you think you're innocent?" His eyes
glow with frustration. He's not going to give it up and just gives me the stare down, which
really bothers me. It's not intimidating, just annoying. Besides, what's he going to do,
chase me down and make me answer? Yeah right, not with those legs he won't.
I stare back, I'm not as good at it though; I tend to just smile, distracting myself by
staring at his ness. His fatness, his annoyingness, his hairiness. There's a lot of ness going
on with that man.
"Sir, my client here does not wish to answer and has already pleaded the fifth."
That's Cindy, my attorney. "Maybe you should buy some hearing aids," she scoffs to
herself before impatiently stating. "She's been interrogated and tried several times. There
is no real evidence."
Cindy is the only person I truly have left on my side, not counting my sister—
wherever she may be. Cindy has been trying for months now to get me out of this god-
forsaken place. Like I said though, pointless. I've told them what happened. She told them
what happened. No one cares what-

I was preplanning for my yearly decoy purchases. I came across a stellar deal on Big Foots Originals that I don't mind passing along. Watch when I need it it will be gone. Anyways, Bulls $115 and Uprights and Feeders $106. PM if you are making a purchase and not just to be nosey.
Now, for all those BFs used sellers, get your prices in line please. It sickens me when I find beat up, muddy BFs selling for $18-$22 each and people are buying them! Please make it stop. Buyers set the pricing. Not the seller. (Not directed to any sellers on here at all)

While we still have plenty more Mobile World Congress news to bring you, we do have a quick diversion because Microsoft has just announced the UK pricing for Office 2010.
The table below spells everything out rather nicely, so rather than waste time repeating it all ad nauseum it is worth pointing out the main issue: it's not cheap!
Yep, Microsoft certainly hasn't buckled to pressure from the fast evolving and free Google Docs and OpenOffice (now onto v3.2) and reduced the RRPs of its ubiquitous productivity suite. In fact £429.99 for Office Professional rather takes our breath away.
That said, if you are committed to the company's next gen suite then it is worth pointing out that Microsoft hasn't detailed volume licensing for Office 2010 at this time (pray for sizeable discounts). What it has done though is firm up info on its 'Product Key Cards' which do improve the path-of-least-resistance model for businesses and consumers alike. In essence they do exactly what their name suggests: provide users with a licence key(s) for pre-installed Office suites on new PCs. On the flip side this also encourages more PC makers to pre-install Office since they know they can push a Product Key Card at a later date. Simple, but effective.
Microsoft Office 2010 launches in June, and if you haven't tried the free beta download you best follow the link below and get a taste while you still can.


text: Hi all! Wicked was the first sweater that I made a couple of years ago. It's wearable, but I've grown in confidence in my sweater making abilities since then and I want to make it again. However, I'm thinking that I'd like to make the neckline more crew neck and I'm not sure how to do that and still keep going with the mock cable pattern. If I chose to do a crew neck, I'm thinking I'll have to increase a bit when I get to the shoulders, right? In the pattern, I cast on 124 stitches. I was also wondering if I went down a needle size on the neckline would that help in not making it as loose and the switch to a larger needle when I'm ready to start the sleeves.The pattern isn't available any longer it appears. Thanks so much for your help!

If anyone out there didn't like my last weekend column
— No court can grant exemptions from the real world — George Pyle | The Salt Lake Tribune
" ... All FDA-approved forms of contraception are an integral part of modern medical care. Those who find it creepy are free not to use it. But those beliefs have no standing to derail, or even impede, a long-overdue plan to make generally accepted medical care — particularly the prevention of unwanted or unwise pregnancies — a basic human service of a civilized society. ..."

Rise High
Through yoga, I go beyond my perceived limitations and move to my edge with self respect. As an internal journey, it's a great opportunity for me to accept every moment of fear, doubt, excitement, vulnerability, self-criticism, joy, and faith.
Reclaim Gentleness
We are born gentle and pure. As we grow we become stronger, harder, and tighter, emotionally and physically. Yield like water. When I practice yoga , instead of looking for an external result, I remind myself to practice acceptance.
Radiate your Truth
When we control the body, we have to control the mind, and we learn how to use our body as a medium. Free from mental distraction, we are able to find the stillness and relaxation in the postures, while realizing, accessing, and controlling the incredible strength inside all of us.

Book a Reading
In November 2014, Aaron's partner was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma and therefore decided to step back from his spiritual work. Aaron and his partner decided to move to the North East of England for their hospitals and family support. In May 2015, Aaron's partner had been given the all clear after several months of chemotherapy and is now officially in remission.
Aaron is currently unavailable for clairvoyant readings. He is planning on returning to giving astounding evidence of the survival of the human soul in 2016 once his partner has recovered from the chemotherapy.
We ask that healing thoughts are sent to Aaron, his partner and his family during these times.
Book Aaron for a Demonstration of Mediumship
If you are a Spiritualist Church, a Spiritual Centre or an organisation that hosts clairvoyant evenings, you can book Aaron to attend your event. He is currently taking bookings for 2016 and will accept bookings from Spiritualist Churches and Spiritual Centres that do not take a profit. If you wish to book Aaron, please send him an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are a Spiritualist Church or Spiritual Centre that does not charge an admission fee and does not aim to make a profit, Aaron only asks for his expenses to be covered and does not aim to make a profit on his work in these centres.

QC Software's Strategies for a Successful Supply Chain Sustainability Program
Successful sustainability strategies include making sustainability a core part of the business strategy, taking a long-term, collaborative approach to reach common goals, and implementing new or improved business models.
To have a successful sustainability program, companies must view it is a continual process. Sustainability should be a core part of the overall business strategy. When all departments within a company and their partners understand the goals and work synergistically, they can achieve the greatest results. This requires strong leadership and an open, collaborative corporate culture.
"Large supply chains often consist of companies from several countries, which makes it more challenging to get everyone on the same page. It often takes a continuing effort over time to see results," states Rich Hite, President of QC Software, a leading North American provider of warehouse control systems for the material handling industry.
Technology and automation are essential for process improvement. With real-time information and analytics at your fingertips, you can make better decisions, share data with trusted partners, and improve planning and forecasting. In addition to automating accounting and sales procedures, you can also optimize manufacturing, warehousing and transportation operations.
Innovation is the critical link to achieving sustainability goals. Companies need new approaches to tackle the multiple challenges they face today. As market conditions evolve, so must the supply chain.
One approach is to improve the existing paradigm. Manufacturers are improving product packaging and design to optimize production. Distributors are improving the physical layout, inventory and labor management to optimize warehousing operations, reduce waste, and lower their cost per order. The transportation industry is utilizing equipment that is more efficient or uses alternative energy to reduce carbon emissions.
Companies are experimenting and having success with new business models. Distributors with mutual customers are sharing warehousing and transportation services to reduce costs. Manufacturers are using the direct-to-store delivery system which eliminates the distribution center to improve delivery at a lower cost. Some companies are relying on regional distribution centers to reduce total mileage.
Sustainability is about achieving excellence every day. Big changes can result in big improvements, but take more time to implement. Keep in mind that small improvements are generally more manageable and provide faster results. Successful companies are leaving no stone unturned as they find new ways to optimize resources and reduce their footprint.
For over sixteen years, QC Software has delivered the results that help companies succeed. Their leading-edge software solutions provide the flexibility, visibility and control across warehouse operations that customers need to optimize resources and profitability. Through industry collaboration, customized training, and 24/7 support, QC Software ensures that each customer is fully leveraging their technology. In addition, QC Software helps customers develop a strategic focus to better manage new opportunities and future demands.

This little change is really problematic. Not only lvm userspace has problems here, also cryptsetup is broken for read-only mappings. Of course this it can be easily fixed, but it take some time until the new userspace is propagated to distros. Seems it changed userspace API here. For example, this is no longer working now: fd = open(device, O_RDWR | flags); if (fd == -1 && errno == EROFS) { *readonly = 1; fd = open(device, O_RDONLY | flags); } Milan

Arlis/ANZ 2.0
McKeon, Kelly, Rossitto, Luisa M., & Thompson, Ellen E. (2007) Arlis/ANZ 2.0. Arlis/ANZ Journal: journal of the Arts Libraries Society Australia and New Zealand., pp. 35-41.
|PDF (40kB)
We've all been hearing about Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 lately. But just what are they all about, and is there anything there that Arlis/ANZ can take advantage of in order to better go about its business? Can there, should there, be an Arlis/ANZ 2.0? Arlis/ANZ, the Arts Libraries Society of Australia and New Zealand, is preparing to review it's online prescence. The Arlis/ANZ website is now three years old, and has been well maintained during that time. However it has not yet been systematically reviewed in terms of content, functionality, and strategic direction. The Arlis/ANZ Website version 'One' will be redeveloped into Arlis/ANZ Website version 'Two'. Although much of that review will concentrate on the structure, look and feel of the site, the review process offers an opportunity to incorporate Web 2.0 developments. By incorporating that 'best' of Web 2.0 in a strategic manner, Arlis/ANZ 2.0 - the website - has powerful potential to contribute toward the strength, cohesion and ongoing development of Arlis/ANZ 2.0 - the Society.

Researchers have developed "a user-friendly Web-based GIS tool: the Vector-Borne Disease Airline Importation Risk Tool (VBD-AIR), to help better define the roles of airports and airlines in the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases."
It uses spatial data buit on modeled global disease and vectro distribution and takes into account climate and air network traffic. From that it creates a relative risk metric.
Results: The VBD-AIR tool constructed enables the user to explore the interrelationships among modeled global distributions of vector-borne infectious diseases (malaria.
dengue, yellow fever and chikungunya) and international air service routes to quantify seasonally changing risks of vector and vector-borne disease importation and spread by air travel, forming an evidence base to help plan mitigation strategies. The VBD-AIR tool is available for testing at www.vbd-air.com
KCUR in Kansas City is covering the outbreak of whooping cough in the area - complete with details of its spread in Kansas and Missouri. There's even a detailed map of the regional cases. The Google My Map is clearly the default tool for quick and dirty mapping for media outlets. Will Esri, with its longtime focus on health GIS gain any ground here?
A coalition called Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Thursday released a map revealing how many mental health records each state has reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
The goal is to get more states to do more reporting such that incidents such as VA Tech can be prevented.

|Bernini's elephant base for the obelisk in front of the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome
Having struggled through yesterday's post, I went to Mass today prepared to be more open to an expected pro-life message than I was last year on this Roe v. Wade anniversary weekend. I vowed to acknowledge the elephant in the pew. I just didn't think I would be the elephant.
To be fair, my parish is not known for a particularly strong or explicit pro-life outreach, which is one of the reasons I felt comfortable there in the first year or so of my homecoming. I could happily participate in the parish-wide baby shower for the local crisis pregnancy center, but nobody was putting petitions under my nose or making street witness a requisite for parish membership–which is kind of odd, actually, because Martin Haskell's clinic, one of the few places in the country offering the late-term (partial birth) abortion technique Haskell developed, is located just outside the parish bounds.
It's a moderate-to-liberal assembly, worshiping in a beautifully appointed and very contemporary facility, with a strong social justice ministry that takes on issues like support for illegal immigrants and health care for the indigent. It's the kind of parish, in other words, where the old me would have felt right at home, and mostly the new me does, too. But there I was today, looking around for the elephant of a pro-life message in the liturgy, and finding none.
Oh, there was the beautiful symbolic gesture of tall lighted votives massed around the altar, each representing a million lives lost (or legal abortions performed, as the old me would have put it) since Roe v. Wade. Before Mass, a lector read a prepared statement acknowledging the anniversary and explaining the candles; it sounded like something the diocese might have issued. There were petitions in the Universal Prayer that asked God's blessing on the unborn, on parents struggling with unplanned pregnancies, and on March for Life participants. The celebrant was neither the pastor nor our newly ordained associate, but an elderly priest, a retired professor, who sometimes substitutes. So I can't say whether the other Masses heard any sort of pro-life connection in the homily. I know we didn't. Building off the Gospel, in which Jesus announces the advent of the reign of God, Father traced the image of the kingdom through pretty much every book of the Bible, winding up 25 minutes later with two examples of kingdom living: the monks profiled in the film Of Gods and Men, and Dorothy Day. Good examples both, and he left us with the admonition to Go and do likewise. But.
The word I needed to hear–and I know from the response to yesterday's post that I'm not alone in needing it–was some way to connect the readings of the day to the anniversary of the day, and then a suggestion or two of what to do in the cross-point, the literal crisis, of that intersection: how to live the Gospel of Life. Father came thisclose. Could he not have connected the dots for us by acknowledging, as Dorothy Day herself did, that she came to the Gospel of Life after having first passed through the doorway of an abortionist? In her life and in her fierce double commitment to justice and prayer, Dorothy Day is a patron saint for those of us suffering from revertigo, a political progressive with the steely core of a liturgical trad. When it came to the Gospel of Life, she knew of what she spoke. She walked the talk. In a CNA post last September, Kathryn Jean Lopez put Dorothy's life in sharp perspective, and I'm grateful to The Anchoress for reposting her link to that piece on Facebook last night as something to think about this weekend.
I came to Mass prepared to be a little less defensive about a pro-life message I have steeled myself against for so long, and left hungrier for that message than I ever imagined I could be. Maybe that's the grace of God at work, drawing me out to the wilderness where the heart can hear. Maybe it was not Father who was meant to connect the dots today, but me. The elephant.
In response to a couple of comments on yesterday's post: I should have made it clear that my mother's pregnancy was not, after all, ectopic. (More than one friend who didn't get that congratulated me on being a miracle baby, which is most definitely not the case.) And had it been an ectopic pregnancy that progressed to the point of danger, Church teaching then and now would have permitted the surgical removal of the damaged tube, with the unfortunate but not intended termination of the pregnancy. My mother's story is one of misunderstood teachings and unspoken fears, and it was included not as an indictment of the Church but as an example of the complicated and personal implications surrounding the issue of abortion for many women of my mother's generation and my own.
And speaking of candlelight memorials, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles made a glowing witness to the city part of its Requiem for the Unborn last night. See the Cathedral's Facebook page for more on this photo of the memorial candles that will be visible all week to drivers on the freeway arteries flowing through the heart of the City of the Angels.

Oracle Racing Coutts endured a day of mixed fortunes. Before the fleet race skipper Darren Bundock and crew ripped up the 500-meter speed course, completing it in 36.16 seconds at a top speed of 26.87 knots. The time was easily the fastest of the speed trials at the first three ACWS events.
The speed trials are non-scoring, however, and the crew struggled through the fleet race, suffering a penalty and placing ninth.
'We were very inconsistent this week,' said Bundock after his first ACWS event. 'We won the first race on Wednesday and then finished off the last race losing. We've got good boatspeed if we can get away from the pack, but we've got a bit of work to do to keep pushing Jimmy hard.'
Today's race illustrated the sheer excitement of the transformed America's Cup. With the wind blowing between 15 and 18 knots on flat water, the AC45 catamarans lit up San Diego Bay. The 20-degree oscillations kept tacticians on their toes and the pack roundings at the turning gates kept crews working hard.
At the finish of the nine-leg race there were two sets of overlaps. France's Energy Team beat their compatriots on Aleph by six-tenths of a second and Artemis Racing beat China Team by 1 second after trailing by 2.5 seconds at the reach mark just 45 seconds earlier.
Oracle Racing Spithill now has won four of the six ACWS championships: match racing in Cascais, fleet racing in Plymouth and the double in San Diego. The skipper gave full credit to the team's sail designers and shore crew.
'Between the shore guys and the sail design guys we had a fantastic setup for racing,' said Spithill. 'We got the full range of conditions here. We came in expecting lighter winds but today the wind was up and the guys were able to sort us out. It's nice to reward them with the double.'

Held at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, the "Twilight" stars joined up with one another arm-in-arm, boosting interest in their upcoming movie.
"It seems to be building, the magnitude of this franchise," Pattinson said of the film series during the trio's time on stage.
"It was one of the more relaxing jobs I've ever done ... All the pressure was on Taylor [Lautner]," he added of the filming process.

havent been on in a few days... thanks for the crits hopefully these are an improvement...
havent been on in a few days... thanks for the crits hopefully these are an improvement...
i dont agree with that M
word... just trying some new shit
I agree with it
does-nice slaps
soar-not feelin your a try it lowercase
mone- think the m is good if you try something different with the left side of it
mesk- not feelin the m but you do have a good idea going with the letters coming to a point at the top.. the second 1 your e looks more like an a to me also.
crits? advice? anything? lol
Revised a bit messy, 's' is also a little thick. More crit?
does-not feelin the bottom bubble on the 'd' or the little rectangle you have on the upper right of the 's'. Also too scrunched feeling for me.
soar- I agree with whoever above, try a lower case 'a' for grins. Maybe try adding a visilble leg for the 'A'?
mone- I like, left leg of the 'm' doesnt flow though. Also something looks to me funky about the right leg of the 'n'. Likin the 'e'.
hipe- 'pe' looks nice, 'hi' not as much. Try finding another why to depict the horizontal bar in the 'h'. The 'i' is just too boring but I can see how it'd be hard to get that to flow well.
anonymous - try rounding the bottom point of the 'd'? Looks fine as is though, consider doing more letters? And just missed a shadow on left side of the second 'd'.
i think its improved from the last style, crits and advice?
the d in you previous post was more original, and r is just too big and looks akward. make them the same size or closer to it.
the second throw in your above post is better.
DR, those green ones are heaps better than the B&W one.
Hipe i'm likin the letters a ton more, the 'i' in the painted throw is the best 'i' i've seen from you imo. Work on your 3d/drop shadow though and stay consistent with it, some of those have a combination and it looks weird, and some of the 3d is off in places.
yea i've been tryin to make my letters more legit focusing on that rather than my 3d
obviously still need a shit ton of work but am i gettin off to the right foot at least? workin on writin it quick n smoothly.
^ lines are clean, but theres no style except for your s, just looks like blobs shaped into letters

Hi there!
I'm going trough some tough time and I'm unsure about my future as web dev.
I've been coding (X/HTML, CSS, JavaScript, basic PHP, MySQL + pretty good design skills) for a few years and I'm not sure what to do NOW?
I don't feel so great about my job, like three, four, five years ago, I guess I'm getting bored and I see there is more and more front-end devs every freaking minute, what is really scary, because (and not only) of them I can't even think about a salary that Java average coder gets...
I know you can't make a decision for me etc., but maybe some of you guys just upgraded from front-end developer to something else... What would it be?
To answer your question about "Is Front End Development a Good Job". I think front end will have a chance to grow in a way in never has in the past. Server side code was used to speed up web pages, but now that computers are so much faster, Web 2.0 has brought a lot of possibilities by way of JavaScript libraries. You know JavaScript, but do you know jQuery, MooTools, Dojo, Ext JS, Prototype, Scriptaculous? If not, this would be a good area to enhance your skills. Don't let this next part scare you, but you could learn a little bit on Geographic Information Systems with Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, ESRI ArcGIS Online, and Bing Maps. These areas are growing fast and the power and efficiency that they add to a website besides the fact they are free tools, should ensure you not only have a good job, but a job that will continue to grow with you as the landscape is very dynamic. You've already got the foundational skill sets from the sound of it; now you can build on them.
Hope this helps.
Honestly, I wouldn't want to give explicit examples because I don't know what kind of things you enjoy doing on a day-to-day basis and if I were to suggest something you might not enjoy, it would only lead to more boredom, annoyance and perhaps an equally quick burnout ratio. Some people choose to go from simply building websites to producing physical products (like web based software) which they sell on-license, some choose to go from freelancing to work in an organisation (where there's more structure) or the reverse (for more freedom), some even choose to dump development and go into something lighter (like design) or heavier (like training or consultancy), it really depends on your level of skill, what interests you, what you enjoy doing and where you think you could see yourself working.

The Bescor Field Pro Bi-Color LED-1000K 2 Light AC Kit is a 1x1' variable color temperature, lightweight solution for photographers and videographers on the go or in the studio. The kit includes 2 LED-1000s, multi-voltage AC adapters and heavy duty 84" air-cushioned light stands. The LED-1000 allows you to forgo fumbling with light balancing filters in favor dialing in the balance you need to match ambient light conditions via a simple knob. The same simple approach applies to the LED-1000's 100-10% dimming capability. The energy efficient LED-1000s run barely warm to the touch allowing you to place the lights where larger hot lights just can't go without fear of hazard to property or the talent. The included multi-voltage AC adapters allow the LED-1000s to go anywhere in the world where there's electricity. And no electricity is no problem; the LED-1000's 2.1 mm power plug accommodates optional batteries.

- - Should I hang up the Flexi for good? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-theory-methods/456226-should-i-hang-up-flexi-good.html)
Should I hang up the Flexi for good?
I used to walk my dog with a Flexi. I have stopped using it on walks since mid-winter. I now how an assortment of nylon leashes and a Biothane leash that I bought 2 days ago and in that short time, it has become my favourite.
Now I only use the Flexi when I take my dog out so he can poop, etc. Should I stop doing this? Can going back and fourth undo some of his training?
A flexi supplies constant pressure to the neck. It makes the dog less sensitive to your command. Personally, I hate them.... But used like a training lead (with the whole length let out and locked into place) I think it's okay. Just never use it to where there is any kind of constant pressure.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
If your dog is well behaved and walks with you then what's wrong with a flexi? If your dog pulls or you can't control the dog with your voice then use a regular leash.
So normal leash it is, until I fix my dog's botched training.
Flexi leashes are awful. There's the pressure, the inevitable flexi-leash burn when the cord nails someone, and it is hard on the hand/easy to jerk from the hand. Have your short, regular, and long leashes of choice and use depending on occasion. I have a short for close walking for crowds and such, regular for hikes and training class, and long for training class and fun in water and such. It only takes once for that Flexi to be jerked from your hand and go skittering across the pavement. For those of us with carpal tunnel, flexi-leash handles are just painful. Period.
I used one that my sister got me for Christmas a few years ago. I pulled it out of the packaging. It has a flashlight and a radio. But I did not want it for them. I wanted to put a sunscreen over the puppy pen, and thought I could clip it to the eyelet and then pitch the handle thing over the kennel fencing and and go out there and draw it over. It worked.
I have used some for holding doors or gates open. But mostly, I don't use them at all. If they snap, you can lose an eye. It is true that the dog constantly applies pressure, and I just don't trust that thumb switch to hold the dog back if it really wants to go for something. I use regular leashes, and that is enough area for most of what we do. When we are ready to go off-lead -- the only time I would consider a flexi -- well, then we go off-lead.
234 Attachment(s)
I use one when walking on the canal. Gives my dogs a bit more freedom when they have to be in a leash. It never has constant pressure on it. Use properly, like any tool, it's fine.
If your dog is charging around, hitting the end of it, then I would not use it.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I only use a flexi out in the backyard (until I get a 30' lunge lead) for controlled potty breaks. Right now it's because my neighbor is working on the fence and I don't want Gunther wandering around his yard (Gunther doesn't seem to trust him and neither do I). Other than that it's a 3' nylon leash for normal walks/outings.
I have one for each dog, but the tape not the string. I've used it a handful of times, mostly when they're puppies and then just random times when I want them to have freedom but they still need to be on leash. It's nice to have it if ever needed
For everyday I use a 4' leather leash or a 6' nylon adjustable leash depending on what we're doing

best bang for the buck
April 16, 2016
FINALLY, a tire cleaner that reall works on extremely brown(blooming) tires. I have tried dang near every tire cleaning product and it has taken multiple cleaning passes and scrubbing or the product is very expensive. And usually the browning returns eventually. Although the directions say you don't have to scrub, you can get tires to look like they just came out of the mold with a little elbow grease. This provides a great start to whatever dressing you will apply. This stuff is amazing for the price and will leave a fantastic brand new stock look to the tire.
Easy to use, no offensive smell, doesn't need water to rinse, very economical.
Wish it came in gallons.

Finally! A product that brings the black back!
May 27, 2014
After searching for a tire cleaner, this has work to what I was looking for! Those who have Michelin tires will notice a gold or brownish to their tires that you can't get off! This took it off to make the tires close to black. Any other product I used and scrub seem to grind the dirt and gold look into the tire. Not this stuff! I use Amazing Roll Off first with out scrubbing to melt what grime is on it and rinse. I then use this and even though it say you don't need to, I scrub it into the tire and you get the see the foam turn black. The tire has the flat black clean to it now and it is ready for dressing.
Brings a tire back to black Gets rid of that gold/brownish tint on Michelin tires Little goes a long way

Mothers Back to Black Works Great !
May 12, 2014
This product works exactly as advertised, it brings back that original deep black very low shine finish to the tire and easily removes that brown color the sidewalls can sometimes get. Works very quickly, fifteen to thirty seconds is all that is needed for it to work and then just wipe off all the dirt. When finished it is not necessary to add another treatment to the sidewall however I use the Surf City Beyond Black to finish off the tires with a nice deep low shine black finish that lasts extremely well. Mothers really has a great product with the Back to Black Tire Renew and I highly recommend giving it a try.

North Korea's delegate to the United Nations wants the world to know his nation will not be pushed around by anyone and is prepared to initiate military action if threatened by reports. According to Sin Son Ho, 'If the Security Council releases any documents against us, condemning or questioning us…. follow up measures will be carried out by our military forces." And, to make certain everyone understands, Sin warned the UN if they take sides in the issue of who sank a South Korean vessel, they may feel the wrath of North Korea. Sometimes, one gets the impression North Korean diplomats are either afraid to speak the truth due to fear of punishment by the Great Leader or they inhabit a time warp in which their nation can actually impose its military will on the world. Sin may be the Son of his beloved Great Leader but he better understand his nation can not handle an assault by other nations without devastation to their entire society.
I frequently get the feeling North Korea should form an alliance with Israel and the Sudan and Putin in Russia of nations that enjoy threatening military force rather than engaging in any form of intelligent dialogue. There will not be any use of North Korea's armed forces. The mouth that roars is a pip squeak.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is preparing for a product launch or two if the indications from its suppliers are correct. The technology firm's suppliers had a more robust April than is typical for what is usually Apple's slow season, suggesting new products are on the way in the form of the iPhone 6, new iPads, and even potentially the much-rumored iWatch.
AppleInsider reports that analyst Brian White of Cantor Fitzgerald found that sales at Apple's suppliers were up 7 percent from last month. This reverses a trend from the previous nine years, during which April sales were generally down about 1 percent. White attributed the growth to Apple producing new products just in time for a summer announcement and fall launch.
Apple, of course, is staying mum about potential new products, in its usual style. Observers and analysts attempt to figure out what is going on behind the scenes by following Apple's suppliers and its supply chain. The April results are based on 97 percent of Apple's suppliers.
Seeing from whom and how much a company is buying is an economic indicator of how a company is doing. White used this data to predict that Apple's March-quarter results would be better than Wall Street expectations for the company. When the results came out, White was proven right, as Apple's quarterly report showed it had beat expectations.
White expects that Apple will attract investors during this period.

I had the hardest time reading chapter two and writing about it. Every time I tried to read I was triggered and sickened, preferring to hide under the covers of my nice warm bed and eat popcorn instead of reading and writing.As always the Duggars started this chapter with a Bible verse. Luckily this time they actually had the correct verse number - "God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply." - Genesis 1: 28. But I have to wonder why they lopped off the backside of 1:28, you know, all that jazz about filling and subduing the earth and its critters. … [Read more...]

Qualcomm buys up Palm patents from HP
Mobile chip maker Qualcomm is to take over almost 2,500 patents from HP, picked up from its acquisition of Palm
Qualcomm has struck a deal with HP to buy a number of its mobile patents.
The mobile chip maker has agreed to buy approximately 2,400 patents – 1,400 granted patents and pending patent applications from the US and approximately 1,000 of the same from other countries – but the price was not disclosed.

The only details revealed about the patents were they "covered technologies that include fundamental mobile operating system techniques" from HP's Palm, IPAQ and Bitfone portfolio.
HP gained a huge amount of intellectual property (IP) when it bought Palm in April 2010 for $1.2bn. However, despite efforts to launch new hardware and keep the WebOS alive, sales were low and HP seemed unable to catch customer interest.
Controversial HP CEO Leo Apotheker announced in 2011 that HP would ditch both the smartphone and tablet ranges, and although his successor, Meg Whitman, reversed many of his decisions, she never committed to reviving the Palm legacy.
Today's announcement is the final nail in the coffin for the HP and Palm tie-up, but with the baton being passed to Qualcomm, there could be a future for the mobile software side.
A statement from Qualcomm said: "The acquisition further enhances the strength and diversity of Qualcomm Incorporated's industry-leading mobile patent portfolio and will enable the company to offer even more value to current and future licensees."

Tyler Dierwechter was quite content playing football, basketball and baseball as a kid in Morgantown, W.Va.. Then a family vacation to Disney World when he was 13 changed him forever.
He had never picked up a golf club before tagging along with his father, Jim, for a round of golf at the Disney Resort. And he hasn't been able to put one down since that day.
"I hit a good shot and I was like, 'Wow, I want to do this,' " Dierwechter said.
Team sports were a thing of the past. Back in West Virginia, Dierwechter would hang out at the local course from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. all summer. In the winter, he and his dad would go to Pittsburgh every Sunday to practice in an indoor facility.
Just before his freshman year, the Dierwechters moved to Pinellas County. They became members at East Lake Woodlands, and Dierwechter joined the East Lake High golf team. As a sophomore, Dierwechter helped the Eagles advance to the region tournament.
After the high school season ended, he decided to devote himself even more to the game, playing on the Florida Junior Golf Tour, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, American Junior Golf Association and International Junior Golf Tour.
It was on the latter that he got the opportunity of a lifetime. After scoring well in several tournaments, he was asked to join the U.S. team in the Euro Junior Cup in Scotland from July 31-Aug. 2. The United States competed against junior teams from Canada and Scotland on the historic St. Andrews Old Course.
"It was a great experience,'' said Dierwechter, who was 3-3 in his matches. "Very different style of golf. Here, when you're 50 yards out you can take a wedge and fly it to the hole. Over there, I had to take a 7-iron and basically putt it to get it close. It suits my style of play. I had to be creative with what I was doing.''
Dierwechter will be home schooled for this junior season — he is also enrolled in 10 weeks of golf school at the Hank Haney Academy in Hilton Head, S.C., attending one week per month. — but still will compete with East Lake.
"I couldn't miss one week of school each month, so we decided to home school,'' he said.
Dierwechter said he has his handicap down to two. He is already looking at colleges and hopes to eventually play golf at the highest level.
"My plan is to play college golf,'' Dierwechter said. "Then hopefully after that I'll be good enough to turn pro."
More intriguing golfers/teams for 2013
Countryside: Seniors Donald Wasoff, Jay Dixon and Ben Fisher make the Cougars one of the stronger teams in the area.
Blake Dyer, St. Petersburg: Now a junior, Dyer should be the top Green Devil golfer after Jack Maguire and Jake Kevorkian graduated. He was second-team all-conference last season behind a pretty good group of golfers.
Fivay: The Falcons lost almost all of the top players from last year's district runnerup team. Junior Travis Isabella is the only returning player and will be expected to lead Fivay's rebuilding process.
Donnie Gabrelcik, Mitchell: The junior won the Sunshine Athletic Conference title last fall. He'll be joined by district champ Anthony Swinford and strong sophomore Mike Spinger to lead a deep Mustangs team that should be strong, again.
Ajani Liggins, King: This Lions junior, four strokes off the top spot at the Class 2A, Region 3 tournament last season, appears poised for a breakthrough autumn.
Newsome: The Wolves return three top-11 region placers from a team that ultimately placed third at the state tournament. Junior Tyler Bakich, who tied for fourth at the 2A tourney with a final-round 67, heads the nucleus.
Anthony Quintessenza, Northside Christian: Perhaps the best golfer in Pinellas, Quintessenza is capable of shooting some low numbers. He had a 67 to tie for first at the Vinoy Invitational last season and shot 72 to win the A-15 district championship. Look for a big senior year.
Saddlebrook Prep: The top four players — including all-North Suncoast performer Ryoto Furuya, Joe He and Won Jun Lee — return from a team that finished sixth at state last fall. A top-five finish in Class A seems like a possibility.
Mike Stewart, River Ridge: As a sophomore, he earned all-conference honors and qualified for the region tournament individually. He and Mike Dodson should have good seasons for the Royal Knights.
Tampa Catholic: The Crusaders return every scorer from the squad that shattered the program record for a region tournament team score (by 22 strokes) and clinched the school's first boys state tourney berth. Arguably TC's deepest team ever.

When seeking help and support about being bullied, children and young people weigh up the benefits and risks of talking to their friends, parents, teachers and counsellors about their experiences. The focus of this paper are calls to an Australian helpline for children and young people where the strategy of "talking to the teacher" is discussed by callers and counsellors as a possible way of dealing with the caller's bullying situation at school. Transcribed and analysed data extracts of calls show how the young callers' bullying experiences are being heard by the counsellor, and also reveals the skill of the counsellors in managing these calls within the philosophy and guidelines of the service.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio—After a year of discussing just how much Catholics and Lutherans concur about the doctrine of justification, Church officials announced they were ready to sign a joint agreement.
Cardinal Edward I. Cassidy, the Vatican's chief ecumenist, and the Rev. Dr. Ishmael Noko, general secretary of the Lutheran World Federation, announced the agreement June 11 in Geneva. They said The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification would be signed formally Oct. 31 in Augsburg, Germany.
The joint declaration said Catholics and Lutherans agree that justification and salvation are totally free gifts of God and cannot be earned by performing good works, but rather are reflected in good works.
Jay Dunlap of Register Radio News interviewed Scott Hahn, a former Protestant minister who's now a Catholic professor of biblical theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, on the meaning of the Catholic-Lutheran dialogue.
Dunlap: Could you explain the differences between Catholics and Lutherans on the question of justification? What does the Bible teach and how could such a conflict arise?
Hahn: What has come out here on June 11 from Geneva has emerged from an ongoing dialogue between Catholics and Lutherans. … And we're not just trying to find strategically worded formulations that have deliberate ambiguities that will enable Lutherans and Catholics both to sign on the propositions that can mean two different things. We've gotten past that. Now we're trying to identify the substantial common ground on which we stand, and then from that platform we can discuss the differences that divide us.
The fact of the matter is that on the issue of justification, we agree on probably 90%, we disagree on 10%. We've been focusing 90% of our time and energy for the last 400 years on that 10% that divides us.
And so this new dialogue, the newness of this dialogue, consists in the accent marks falling on the 90% that we agree upon, so that we can stand on common ground and discuss our differences while acknowledging that we agree on a whole lot more than we disagree on. …
Is the difference with how you read Scripture?
In that light what we're hearing now is, let's get back to Scripture, let's get back to St. Paul, and let's really come to grips with what the Scriptures teach about justification. … Let's understand how the whole New Testament provides diverse teachings on justification, but a diversity that also allows for a deep unity.
So James does not contradict Paul. It isn't the case that the Lutherans have Paul ["For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law," Romans 3:28] and the Catholics have James ["You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone," James 2:24] and we're just on opposite sides of a wall lobbing grenades over the top at each other anymore. We're trying to understand how the Holy Spirit is teaching the same unified truth in two distinct ways, through St. Paul on the one hand and St. James on the other. And this is where I think the dialogue is heading and that's what makes it so interesting. …
I'm speaking now as a Catholic who has converted from Protestantism, as someone who once embraced wholeheartedly the Lutheran understanding of justification and now embraces the Catholic view.
Has this been a mainly Protestant debate in the past?
In the last 300 or 400 years, the debate has been carried on mostly by Protestants, with Catholics on the sidelines, because very few Catholics have made justification an issue. It's only the Lutherans who saw this initially as the article on which the Church stands or falls, as Luther described it. For Catholics it was really an issue only because the Lutherans made it one, and it was a matter of study and contemplation only to the extent that we wanted to bridge the gap that divided us.
And I think what we have to do now is retrieve the biblical basis for the Church's teaching and at the same time show the continuity that exists between St. Paul and the Council of Trent. And you can find in this Joint Declaration precisely that kind of thing. … The emphasis is that justification is not only being forgiven but also being made righteous. …
The Catholics have always emphasized that it's more than juridical. We're not only declared righteous, we are made righteous, and that's what I find so significant about this common statement, that it says justification consists not only of our being forgiven of sins but also in our being made righteous.
The second thing that is so incredible about this first section is that it provides the foundation on which we can understand how it is that sinners can be made righteous and not just declared righteous — and it's this: We are made children of God. Quoting 1 John 3:1: "We are called children of God, and that is what we are."
And so it goes on to describe how we are truly and inwardly renewed by the action of the Holy Spirit. So the Catholic teaching on justification is more than just God showing favor to sinners. It's more than God the Judge just acquitting guilty criminals. It is actually God the Father adopting us as sons and daughters, giving us Christ's son-ship through the power of the Holy Spirit, so that justification means transferring us from spiritual death into the very life of the divine family that we call the Trinity.
Describe what that means practically.
We were in Adam's family. All of the offspring of Adam were born estranged from God. But now through Christ and by justification we are transplanted, we are adopted, we are regenerated so that we become sons and daughters of the living God.
The God of the universe is now Abba, Father. And that's more than a name. It's more than a label. It's more than a juridical decree. It is a mystery that goes down to the very roots of our own personal being. We are as substantially transformed by justification as we were when we were first conceived in our mothers' wombs.
And to me, tying in the classic teachings of the Church at the Council of Trent with the Apostle Paul, as well as St. James and St. John, is the bridge we need to build. Not only for Lutherans to understand what we believe as Catholics and how biblical it is, but to get Catholics on board as well so that Catholics can discover what Lutherans have known all along, that justification is really central to the Gospel, that it is really the meat on the plate that we should be chewing and digesting, and drawing strength from.
And it's not an issue just because the Lutherans made it an issue back in the 1500s. It really is the heart and the soul of the Gospel because the doctrine of justification is what gives us assurance that we're not just acquitted criminals, we're not just forgiven sinners, we're nothing less than sons and daughters of the most high God.
And that is where the beauty of the coming together in dialogue really can bear the fruit, it would seem.
That's right. And this is why I think the intellectual rigor needs the spiritual passion because the issues that we are talking about matter more than anything else in the world. And so when we sit down at the table we're looking across the table not simply at heretics or even separated brothers, but at the very persons for whom Christ bled and died.
We owe it to our Savior to do everything possible to rectify misunderstandings, to clarify any obscurities, in order to show that the Church that Christ has founded has remained faithful to the Scriptures. But at the same time it's as humble as its Savior in stooping low and stretching out its hands and doing whatever is necessary to clarify and to deepen and to communicate effectively these teachings.
Jay Dunlap is a correspondent with Register Radio News.
I was hoping for something specific in this article (since I do admire Dr. Hahn) that would explain what the document has to say about the resolution to the conflict on justification. Is the joint agreement just "we agree to disagree" kind of thing?

After eleven years, $40 million and more than 16,000 linear feet of pipe, West Virginia is set to bring a new wastewater treatment plant online and make huge cuts to the pollution it sends into the Chesapeake Bay. Under construction in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, the Moorefield Wastewater Treatment Plant will replace four existing plants with one new system, marking a significant milestone in the headwater state's efforts to curb pollution and improve water quality. Expected to go into operation this fall, the plant will remove 90,000 pounds of nitrogen and 93,000 pounds of phosphorous from West Virginia wastewater each year.

Traders swing both ways
If there is one brahmastra in the trader's arsenal, it is his ability to go short. Taking that analogy further, a stance to only go long and not short would be like going to war leaving half your weapons home. Certainly not something that is advisable, unless of course you are looking to be a martyr. You must agree with the adage that the trend is your friend. If you suffer from an allergy to going short, then you must be specialist at wringing your hands in dismay. What else can you do when the market swings downwards, as it so often does?
What is Short Selling?
"Buy low, sell high" is the goal of both short selling and long buying in shares. A short sale reverses the order of a typical stock purchase: The stock is sold first and bought Just as a buyer buys in anticipation of prices going up so he may sell at a profit, a short seller sells in anticipation of prices going down so he may buy the shares back at a lower price. The difference is his profit. If you look closely, in both the cases the shares have been bought low and sold high. The only difference being that in short selling, you reverse the order of the transactions.
Why sell short?
The two primary reasons for selling short are opportunism and portfolio protection. Occasionally we see a stock that we believe has gone up too high too fast. Or we may see a stock struggling to get past a strong resistance. Taking a short position is the only way we can profit from both these situations.Short sales are also used to protect a portfolio against a market downturn. Short sellers rake in the moolah when stock prices fall. So when we think prices are going to fall, we diversify a predominantly long portfolio by adding some short positions. This way the portfolio will have positions that make money both when prices rise and when they fall.We then use the profits from the short sales to help offset losses in the long positions. This reduces the volatility in the portfolio's returns and helps protect the value of the portfolio when prices are falling.
In defence of the short
Oh! We can almost hear long-termers hiss and boo at the suggestion that short-selling is a nifty portfolio management tool. Don't listen to them. In the long term we are all dead, remember.They'll tell you that there is no need to short. They'll tell you not to worry about short-term fluctuations in the market. But the point is that most bear markets start with a tiny innocuous intra-day blip that grows and balloons. And before you know it the bears are on the rampage, tearing your portfolio to shreds. Why sit through a correction where your portfolio has the potential of losing, say, 10% of its value when you could possibly generate a positive return during the same period? Then, when the market turns up, you can get back to the long side and participate in the next leg of the bull market. It does sound like a smart thing to do, doesn't it?
Acting and reacting
But does that mean we react to every intra-day blip that pushes down prices. God! No. That's a sure-fire, time-tested, quality-checked, guaranteed method of committing financial hara-kiri. As is the case with every trade, even a short call is put out only if the risk-to-reward ratio makes sense. That brings us to the other thing that the long-termers would make noises of disapproval over. The risk in a short trade.
A short could turn into a long sad story
Short-selling stock is an extremely high-risk transaction. The potential gains are limited while the potential losses are unlimited. That's right. Losses tend to infinity!How? The potential gains are limited to the size of the short sale. The lowest a stock can fall to is Rs0.50 (normally even the rottenest of shares manage to find a stray quote at Rs0.50). So it costs next to nothing to buy back the shares and close out the short sale. In this case, the profits almost equal the outlay on the original short sale, excluding transaction costs.The potential losses however are unlimited because a stock can keep going up in price indefinitely. Imagine if you had gone short on 100 shares of Infosys Technologies in the IT bull run or say BHEL in the last bull run. Now that you have imagined what that would feel like, it's best you put it out of your memory. That is the kind of stuff nightmares and horror films are made of.
Down on an up
The other risk with taking short positions is that stock prices tend to rise over time. Betting whether a stock's price will go up or down is not like flipping a coin. (Thank God! Or we would be out of a job.) The odds are not even. Over the long term, stock prices on average do tend to trend up. Also, the reason most people buy shares of a company is because they expect the company to make profitable investments that will make the value of their stock go up. (We do know of a few who buy stocks so that they can use the loss as a tax hedge. Guess there is no better place for that kind of service than the stock market.) Betting that a stock will fall in price is betting against the trend. It does happen but the odds are against it.So to keep a long story short, short selling can be a very profitable strategy to play the downside, it comes with so much risk that the losses could wipe you out of home and hearth if not handled with discipline and the right kind of tools. Like stop losses. But that is a story that has already been told over and over again.

Top 5 Books you Should've or Did Read
I thought it would be interesting to see what books people feel have had the most impact on their relationship with their dog.
So lets find out, What are your top 5 (or more if you want)?
Patricia Mc Connell, For the Love of a Dog
Turid Rugaas, Calming Signals
Martina Scholz, Stress in Dogs
Aggression in Dogs by Brenda Aloff
Turtle Moon by Alice Hoffman

That's a hard question for me to answer, because I like to read and I also like to collect books, lol! So I can't even tell you how many books I have that pertain to dogs - breed specific, science, stories, training, etc...it would be a long list! Picking my favorites would be impossible, and ever-changing. I think the act of reading in of itself helps our relationship, since this is our relaxing quiet time that we spend together. Right now I'm reading Pukka's Promise by Ted Kerasote and I'm enjoying it.

NY Begins Distracted Driving Crackdown... with Special Trooper Patrols
New York State Police will use special undercover SUVs to catch distracted drivers as part of a summer crackdown starting this July 4th holiday weekend.
The usual drunk driving checkpoints will be in place, but State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico says undercover patrols -- in higher vehicles -- are an effective tool for catching drivers who might be using a cell phone to text or email low down in their lap.
The SUVs are specifically designed for this purpose. "They have a much higher platform than your average car and it allows our troopers to be able to observer drivers and violations more discretely" and to see down into a car more effectively, said D'Amico.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the crackdown in Manhattan on Wednesday while standing in front of two of the new SUVs. This comes just two days after a separate event where Cuomo signed a bill to toughen penalties for new drivers who text behind the wheel.
"Today's message is simple," he said. "Distracted driving kills and it is getting worse."
Cuomo likened distracted driving to road safety scourges of previous generations, specifically drunk driving and low rates of seat belt usage in the 1970s and 1980s.
As governor of New York in 1984, Andrew Cuomo's father, Mario Cuomo, signed the nation's first mandatory seat belt law into effect.
"I believe (if) we do this right," the younger Cuomo said, "the same way we can look back now and say, 'I can't believe people never wore a seat belt' ... we'll get to a point a few years from now where we say, 'I can't believe someone would think about texting while driving, that's crazy.'"
The summer crackdown patrols are a "significant increase" in undercover enforcement throughout the state -- but they may not happen within the five boroughs of New York City.
While State Police are permitted to make traffic stops within New York City, they rarely do so. The NYPD is not directly involved in Cuomo's crackdown. NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for clarification if it would also be increasing distracted driving enforcement using undercover SUVs this summer.
The distracted driving crackdown will be funded up to $1 million from money earned from "seized asset accounts."
In New York, about one in five crashes is a result of distracted driving, according to the governor's office.
