In her speech to the Fabian Society, Caroline Flint used Foyers as an example of support that includes an element of conditionality (Housing homeless is a duty, say Flint opponents, February 6).
For more than a decade, Foyers have been providing housing and other support to vulnerable young people. In exchange for services tailored to their needs, the young person agrees to work with the Foyer to move on in their lives. What that means depends very much on the individual, where they've come from and their aspirations. It often means picking up the threads of education and developing skills for independence. It can also mean rebuilding relationships with their family, dealing with a mental health issue or simply regaining their self-belief.
If there's a lesson from Foyers, it's that the deal between the young person and the Foyer is just that - a two-way transaction with rights and responsibilities that go both ways. The support Foyers offer is just as important as the commitment the young person makes. The quality of support is what makes the young person stick to their part of the bargain.
Caroline Flint says she was aware her comments would "provoke a strong debate". It's a shame that she couched her contribution in the language of punishment rather than focusing on how we can ensure that social housing creates conditions in which people can flourish. On the day Ms Flint moved from to her new job she met a group of people from Foyers who left her in little doubt that opening jobcentres on estates will not, by itself, do the trick.
Jane Slowey, chief executive, Foyer Federation
I wonder if Caroline Flint has confused cause and effect with regard to unemployment on council housing estates? When I first moved to York I was advised to put my address on job applications as Heworth, rather than Tang Hall, since local employers knew about the Tang Hall estate and I wouldn't get any interviews. What steps does the minister intend to take to ensure council tenants are not turned down because of their address?
Ros Jones, York
Full marks to Justin Hinchcliffe, a member of that nearly extinct species the Tottenham Tory, for standing up for council tenants (Letters, February 6). Unfortunately, since the Tories are conspicuous by their absence from the local branch of Defend Council Housing, I can only assume that Mr Hinchcliffe has simply forgotten to tell us that what he really wants is for all council housing to be sold off and for tenants to be subject to eviction whether they have jobs or not.

Director Alfonso Cuarón's film Gravity just had an amazing weekend, raking in a record-breaking $55.6 million at the box office. There was just one little snag: Beloved astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson showed up on social media to poke some scientific holes in the story about astronauts stranded in space.
The internet's favorite astrophysicist took to Twitter last night with a string of fact-checks of Cuarón's film, questioning everything from why the movie's space debris orbited from East to West to why the hair on Sandra Bullock's head didn't float as freely as it should have in the weightlessness of space.
"The film #Gravity should be renamed 'Zero Gravity,'" wrote Tyson, who will be hosting the Fox documentary Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey next year. His other nitpicks, which he called "Mysteries of #Gravity," included why "satellite communications were disrupted at 230 mi up, but communications satellites orbit 100x higher" and "how Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another." Tyson did, however, give the film credit for drawing attention to the very real Kessler syndrome (aka the problem caused by all the debris floating in space that causes Gravity's big bang) by tweeting "the film #Gravity depicts a scenario of catastrophic satellite destruction that can actually happen." (Check out more of Tyson's tweets above.)
Last year, the astrophysicist offered a similar critique for Titanic, which he took to task for misplacing the stars above Rose's head near the end of the film.
"Neil deGrasse Tyson sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year, in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen," director James Cameron said after reshooting to correct the mistake. It seems as though it would be difficult for Cuarón to reshoot to correct the issues Tyson brought up, but it'll be interesting to see if he responds to the critique.
Of course, as soon as Tyson's tweets began hitting the web, many users responded to remind him that, Gravity is, in fact, just a movie. "Quick. Someone tell @neiltyson what science fiction means," read one @ reply. Another reminded the vocal science advocate that "for all it's bullshit I bet Gravity creates some future NASA staffers in a generation."
But in the end, even Tyson was won over by the film. "My tweets hardly ever convey opinion," he said in another tweet. "Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed #Gravity very much."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Verifies that a specified memory block is in the local heap and that it has a valid debug heap block type identifier (debug version only).
int _CrtIsMemoryBlock( const void *userData, unsigned int size, long *requestNumber, char **filename, int *linenumber );
- userData
- Pointer to the beginning of the memory block to verify.
- size
- Size of the specified block (bytes).
- requestNumber
- Pointer to the allocation number of the block or NULL.
- filename
- Pointer to name of source file that requested the block or NULL.
- linenumber
- Pointer to the line number in the source file or NULL.
Return Value
_CrtIsMemoryBlock returns TRUE if the specified memory block is located within the local heap and has a valid debug heap block type identifier; otherwise, the function returns FALSE.
The _CrtIsMemoryBlock function verifies that a specified memory block is located within the application's local heap and that it has a valid block type identifier. This function can also be used to obtain the object allocation order number and source file name/line number where the memory block allocation was originally requested. Passing non-NULL values for the requestNumber, filename, or linenumber parameters causes _CrtIsMemoryBlock to set these parameters to the values in the memory block's debug header, if it finds the block in the local heap. When _DEBUG is not defined, calls to _CrtIsMemoryBlock are removed during preprocessing.
Because this function returns TRUE or FALSE, it can be passed to one of the _ASSERT macros to create a simple debugging error handling mechanism. The following example will cause an assertion failure if the specified address is not located within the local heap:
_ASSERTE( _CrtIsMemoryBlock( userData, size, &requestNumber, &filename, &linenumber ) );
For more information about how _CrtIsMemoryBlock can be used with other debug functions and macros, see Using Macros for Verification and Reporting. For information about how memory blocks are allocated, initialized, and managed in the debug version of the base heap, see Memory Management and the Debug Heap.

Italy unlaces N.Korea attempt to smuggle tap shoes
By Louis Charbonneau
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Italy foiled an attempt by North Korea to import tap-dancing shoes in breach of a U.N. ban on the sale of luxury goods to Pyongyang, according to a U.N. report on the enforcement of sanctions against the North.
The report said that many banned goods reached North Korea via an unnamed trans-shipment hub, which Western U.N. envoys speaking on condition of anonymity said was located in China.
Although it has been leaked to the media, China has objected to the official publication of the U.N. expert panel's report, Security Council diplomats said.
"In December 2010, a shipment of high-quality tap-dancing shoes was blocked at Orio al Serio Airport (Milan)," said the report by the so-called U.N. Panel of Experts, which monitors compliance with U.N. sanctions against North Korea.
A U.N. diplomat told Reuters on Tuesday that the seized shipment involved several dozen pairs of tap-dancing shoes. He said that it was not clear how the tap shoes might fit into North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's lavish lifestyle, which includes grandiose stage performances by North Korean performers.
Two rounds of U.N. sanctions imposed on Pyongyang for its 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests ban the sale of luxury items to Kim Jong-il's government. Pyongyang was also hit with an arms embargo and is forbidden from trading in nuclear and missile technology.
Italy has seized other banned luxury items the leaders of impoverished North Korea unsuccessfully attempted to purchase in recent years, including high-quality cognac and whiskey worth 12,000 euros (10,554 pounds) and equipment for a 1,000-person cinema valued at some 130,000 euros, the report said.
In December an Austrian man was fined 3.3 million euros over the sale of luxury goods to North Korea, including yachts. Continued...

I stumbled upon Humanized.com which seems to be a exploration project into creating a blog-like aggregator. The about page describes it as "Why couldn't reading an aggregator be as simple as reading a blog?".
What makes this project interesting to me is the lack of a paginator. Instead, when you reach the bottom of the page with the scroll bar, a message is displayed that alerts you; "More pages are being loaded…" and instantly more data is appended to the page.
Now this is thinking outside of the box. You get more to read when you need it, without thinking. Should this be the future of pagination or a lack there of? Maybe. I'm still contemplating that myself but I'm intrigued by the idea.

Location: Plant Science ResearchTitle: Quantifying plant age and available water effects on soybean leaf conductance Author
|Matthews, Jessica
|Fiscus, Edwin
|Heitman, Joshua
|Smith, Ralph
Submitted to: Agronomy Journal
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/1/2012
Publication Date: 1/12/2013
Citation: Matthews, J., Fiscus, E.L., Heitman, J., Smith, R. 2013. Quantifying plant age and available water effects on soybean leaf conductance. Agronomy Journal. 105:28-36. Interpretive Summary: Using an innovative technique for controlling soil moisture content in field plots, a statistical model was developed relating soybean leaf conductance to easily measured soil moisture content and to plant development under a range of soil moisture conditions. The resultant statistical model showed a surprising similarity to a physiological model invoking the influence of Abscisic Acid in plant responses to declining soil moisture.
Technical Abstract: In this study, we present data characterizing the effects of soil moisture levels on total leaf conductance for two distinct determinate soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) genotypes and subsequently use these data to formulate and validate a model that characterizes total leaf conductance. Conductance data were collected for two soybean genotypes, Haskell and N01, grown in a controlled water stress field during 2008 and 2009 in North Carolina. An empirical model of leaf conductance based on plant age and soil moisture content was developed. As a function of plant age, conductance was well represented by a parabolic function increasing throughout the vegetative period, peaking at approximately the time of first flower, and decreasing throughout the reproductive period through senescence. A sigmoidal function explains the relation of soil moisture content to conductance. Conductance is lower under water stressed conditions and increases to a plateau as conditions are increasingly well-watered. This new empirical model effectively quantifies the response of total leaf conductance to soil moisture and plant age. It also relates soil moisture deficit to conductance via a functional form similar to the ABA-related mechanistic Tardieu-Davies model; however, soil moisture is a more easily accessible model input.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
February 3, 2014
A well-known saying holds that "it takes a village to raise a child." The same can be said of pet overpopulation – it takes an entire community to combat such a massive problem. February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month and the BC SPCA is calling on all British Columbians to take action to help end the tragedy of pet overpopulation throughout the province.
"The disturbing reality is that there are still many more animals born in our province every year than there are homes for," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. "The SPCA and other rescue groups find homes for thousands of these abandoned or surrendered animals every year, but there are so many more who suffer and die after being abandoned by their guardians. It is heartbreaking because this is a completely preventable problem."
A new video encourages pet guardians to promptly spay or neuter their pet before it's too late and the Vancouver shelter hospital hosts its annual free feral cat clinic on Feb. 23. But the problem isn't always about money.
"We find that with many pet guardians, it is attitude, in addition to cost, that prevents them from having their animals sterilized," Chortyk says. "They love their pets but they don't realize that by not having them spayed or neutered by six months of age, they may be impacting their pet's quality of life and contributing to the needless suffering of countless unwanted offspring."
The BC SPCA is encouraging animal lovers to spread the word to all pet guardians throughout British Columbia to help proactively fight the ongoing companion animal overpopulation problem.
Some of the benefits of spaying and neutering include:
Decreased aggression. Neutering generally reduces aggressive behaviours in pets. Neutered dogs are calmer and less likely to bite, attack, or get into altercations at the dog park. Neutered cats don't have the drive to mark and protect their territory and are less likely to spray or get into cat fights;
Calmer, happier pets. Female cats go in and out of heat every three weeks between January and November. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, spaying your cat will reduce her desire to escape to find a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property;
Increased health. Spaying or neutering your pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers;
Good overall pet care. Having your sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures performed, as necessary, such as an identification tattoo or microchip or teeth cleaning. Spaying and neutering is done under a general anesthetic, so your pet won't be in pain.
If cost is a concern, check for a local spay/neuter assistance program. The BC SPCA and other organizations provide assistance to low-income pet guardians where possible in many communities throughout the province.
The BC SPCA spends roughly $2 million each year on spay/neuter programs in communities throughout B.C. and ensures that every dog, cat and rabbit adopted from an SPCA shelter is sterilized prior to adoption.
For more information on spaying or neutering your pet, visit the BC SPCA today.
The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a not-for-profit organization reliant on public donations. Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.

Hello, it's me…lol
Over the past 30 days I have been on what I call a "life detox." After discovering some extremely disappointing truths, I found myself slumping into a negative headspace. I slowly started to spiral out of control due to letting my emotions govern my actions. And it was obvious to anyone that saw me both in person, or on social media. I needed more than just a hand wave in front of my face to snap me back into the present. I needed to really focus, and channel my emotions inward to get back to the woman I used to know.

Last week a friend shared the interview below with me and it really spoke to me. If you are currently reevaluating the relationships in your life (be it romantic, friendship, or professional), this interview is for you too… It's a little long but so worth it!
Some of my favorite quotes from the interview:
After watching this interview, I for sure need to get my hands on Van Moody's book, "The People Factor: How Building Great Relationships and Ending Bad Ones Unlocks Your God-Given Purpose." Cyber book club anyone?! 🙂
Usually my preferred glam airs on the naturally enhanced side of things but I was feeling like a bad gal last night and decided to express that through my makeup… Then have a photoshoot in my bathroom lol (check out my mini "slay series" on my IG – @brittgarrison). But I love the way this look came out and wanted to share more info/unfiltered photos so you can see the true colors a little better.
If you want to know what products I used to get this look keep reading!
Last week I had some free time one evening and decided to play in makeup. I ended up posting this look with two different lips – I had no idea it would turn out to be such a hit (for real) but I'm so glad it did! Thanks to everyone that left comments on Facebook and Instagram! I really appreciate it 🙂
If you were one of the many folks wondering what products I used today is your luck day!
If you're a regular snapper you know that almost EVERYONE turns into a master chef when they're cooking on SnapChat. The playlist is usually either super sexy or super ratchet and impressive plating is a must – major keys in the production LOL. (seriously) But I have to admit it is one of my guilty pleasures too. So here we are, letting my snap live on on my blog forever.

Can you believe we are in February of 2016 already!? It's scary how fast the days and weeks fly by! It feels like we were just celebrating Christmas and New Years yesterday… Seriously.
Anyways, I wanted to start a new "series" where I post my current favorite things at the end of each month. I always see a lot of bloggers doing this and really enjoy their posts so why not chime in too!
Do you ever struggle with annoying hair bumps after waxing or shaving? If so, I don't eveeeeen have to explain how uncomfortable and embarrassing it can be. But what I can do is share a few tips that have helped me prevent hair bumps and the dark marks they tend to leave!

The things that truly interest me now are almost mind-boggling when I look at where I was mentally just a few years ago. Not to say that I am a completely different person (because I still replace dinner with cereal, buy "pack panties", and argue with my 16 year old sister like I'm in high school too LOL) but a lot has changed for sure!
Here my top 10 moments when I realized I'm "getting old":
Hey guys,
For those of you that have been dropping by over the past few weeks, I'm sure you've noticed a big difference in the layout and type of content that I've been posting… What's the reason, you ask? To be able to connect with more folks by sharing more about myself (other than my strong interest in makeup).
Of course, beauty is my main focus – but I really do enjoy other aspects in life that could also inspire, educate, or entertain the folks that
follow believe in me (I honestly hate the word "followers"). So with that being said, I have decided to expand my blog beyond the typical beauty blog content. Besides, living a happy, healthy life is a beautiful thing in itself. RIGHT?! =)
I hope you all really enjoy what's to come, and make sure you drop a comment or "like" on some of my posts so I can get a better feel for what you enjoy as well!
Let's grow together!

Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins released the following statement today after President Obama issued 23 "executive actions" on gun violence in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy:
"I share the President's goal of preventing criminals and individuals with mental illness from acquiring firearms. So, ideas that deal with improving criminal databases, instant background check systems, and mental health resources are areas I am interested in reviewing. Unfortunately, his legislative proposals to ban firearms and prohibit private sales will result in little more than reducing the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans, and are ideas I cannot support."

There's usually half a second between pressing the button and the character reacting. I've mostly come to terms with this- I've adapted my running, grabbing and jumping timing to make it a non-issue for moving around the field.
However, I'm still sometimes having trouble when the monsters move behind me, and I have to turn in order to hit them and with the lag by the time I get around, it's already behind me again. It hasn't caused any deaths so far, but I'm just concerned that my limited target focused, combo-driven melee knuckler is going to be really screwed over by that movement hesitation..

LOL...sorry, I have to laugh because the same thing happened to me. I don't even recall the book. I think it was a Nora Roberts book right when I got my Nook on Christmas Eve. I got about a page and a half to read. Some samples do their intended job and some don't!
2. Re: Sample??eserafina42 Aug 21, 2010 8:12 PM (in response to Frank_BCT)
I mainly have the problem with non-fiction and the B&N Classics. Even if they provide 20-30 pages in the sample, a lot of times that doesn't get you past the introduction. I won't buy a book based on the sample unless I actually am able to read part of the BOOK itself.

WCF Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference.
|June 23, 2011
|Posted by Matt under .NET, WCF, Web
Very recently, building multi-tier application involving Silverlight front-end inter-operating with WCF back-end, I encountered very odd, yet annoying behaviour of Visual Studio 2010. I was building new functionality using Telerik RadMap for Silverlight control that was to display some spartial data supplied by WCF service. To achieve this my Silverlight application had to reference few Telerik assemblies (Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.dll). What is important is fact, that Service Reference for WCF service had been there already, project built and everything was working nicely, until I added extra method to WCF. After using "Update Service Reference" VS command, I started getting following error.
Lack of further details with regards to this error and appropriate feedback from Visual Studio certainly does not help to get to the bottom of the problem, however after some investigation it turned out that one of Telerik assemblies caused this problem. When VS2010 creates service reference, default settings are that it should "reuse" all available types in reference. Excluding certain types from serialization allows service reference to be added successfully.
I hope this helps anybody who got stuck with this problem.

Tank You it's Works. TANK YOU
Back in school, I'm doing so much laenirng.
Thanks for the post, worked for me!
Hats Off!!!
You're a lifesaver. Thank you!
Awesome.. this worked for me .. Thanks 🙂
That didnt work for me.
I do not use the Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization dll and get the error.
Are there other solutions?
This can happen with other assemblies. I ran into this problem when upgrading from framework 4.0 to 4.5/
This also happened for the Newtonsoft.JSON assembly. There should be a warning in the error list that tells you which assembly is causing the issue
Beware about the dlls versions too.
I've lost many hours until guess the SharpArch dll version in the client was different of the version in the WCF Service.
Excluding this assembly from reuse, everything runs good.
Thanks for help!
Matt… I love you. You saved me…..thanks
I thought, that this is gonna be my personal "End of the World". 🙂
Thank you for your Post it saved me the evening.
Thank you so much Matt.
But a question here is why this time I get this error? Im always using Telerik controls. How did you know the problem is Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.dll
Thanks for this useful article.
In my case, i have this issue with my WPF project in VS.Net 2008. After going through this article, i was realizing that the assembly used in the web service is different version of assembly used on client.
It works just fine after update assembly on the client.
Thanks it's work !
For me I just unchecked "Oracle.DataAccess"
Thanks Man!!!
Thank you.
That fixed about 15 warnings and a few errors, compiles fine now.
that didn't work for me .
i m having visual studio 2013 and 4.5
i m unable to get Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization and i have unchecked Newtonsoft.JSON also but it is not working for me
please help me on this
Good post. I'm experiencing many of these issues
as well..
i think you need
Right click on your service reference and choose Configure Service Reference
Then uncheck Reuse types in referenced assemblies
Click OK, clean and rebuild your solution

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Coming off a season-opening victory over New Mexico, the Northern Arizona swimming & diving team returns to the pool this Saturday when it hosts Idaho at the Wall Aquatic Center at 11 a.m. The Lumberjacks will look to avenge their loss – their first in seven all-time meetings – to the Vandals last season in Moscow, Idaho in addition to moving to 2-0 this season.
"We look forward to hosting Idaho, a WAC opponent, for our second meet in two weeks at home," said head coach Andy Johns. "Although we feel good about our results versus UNM last week, we can't rest on our laurels. Idaho presents different challenges than UNM. We like swimming at home and in front of our fans, so it should be another exciting meet on Saturday."
The Lumberjacks posted a 166.5-131.5 win over the Lobos last weekend, claiming 10 of the 14 individual titles. Sophomore Kendall Brown led the way winning three events – the 400 and 800 free and 200 fly – and after one dual meet, she owns the top-times in the WAC converted to the 500 and 1,000 freestyles. Combined with her fourth-best conference time in the 200 fly and Brown has three top-10 WAC times, which is tied with senior Rachel Palmer, who won the 200 IM versus New Mexico. Overall, 11 Lumberjack swimmers currently own at least one top-10 conference time and seven own multiple top-10 times.
NAU also fared extremely well on the diving boards last week, winning both the 1-meter and 3-meter. Sophomore Chelsea Jackson earned WAC Diver of the Week honors after recording a Wall Aquatic Center record 1-meter score of 303.15 to win the event and placing second on 3-meter to senior Gwen Smithberg. Smithberg took the top spot on 3-meter with a score of 300.52. Jackson and Smithberg both qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving meet on both boards while freshman Alexa Geiger earned a qualifying score on the 1-meter. The trio occupies the top-three spots on the WAC's top 1-meter scores.
Idaho is 1-2 this season in duals after a narrow loss to Washington State two weeks ago. The Vandals own the top-time in the WAC in seven swimming events thus far this season and is led by Rachel Millet. The junior is the owner of four of Idaho's seven WAC leading times including the fastest marks in the 200 free, 100 and 200 back and 200 IM. The diving unit is led by Paige Hunt and Mairin Jameson, both of whom are among the top-five divers on both boards. Hunt's score of 312.75 on 3-meter versus Washington State is the WAC's top score this season.
"Rachel Millet is outstanding in everything she swims and Paige Hunt was diver of the year for the WAC last year," Johns said. "They have some newcomers that have posted some good times already this year and so we will have to be even better than we were last week in every aspect in order to get another win."
The Vandals captured the 177.5-122.5 victory last year by winning 13 of the 16 events. It was Idaho's first victory over NAU after dropping the previous six meetings. Senior Emma Lowther won the 1,000 free and junior Caitlin Wright took first in the 500 free for the Lumberjacks.
Admission is free for NAU's final home meet until Feb. 8.

(Pic) Tube-Free Toilet Paper
A portion of the 160 million pounds of trash produced annually by discarded cardboard toilet paper tubes will be eliminated thanks to an innovation by Kimberly-Clark.
A new "tube-free" version of Scott Naturals toilet paper will be rolled out at Sam's Club and Walmart stores in the Northeast United States next week. USA Today reports:
The 17 billion toilet paper tubes produced annually in the USA account for 160 million pounds of trash, according to Kimberly-Clark estimates, and could stretch more than a million miles placed end-to-end. That's from here to the moon and back — twice. Most consumers toss, rather than recycle, used tubes, says Doug Daniels, brand manager at Kimberly-Clark. "We found a way to bring innovation to a category as mature as bath tissue," he says.
He won't disclose the tubeless technology used but says it's a special winding process. A similar process is used on tissue the company sells to businesses but not to consumers.

• Former gang member shows 'unthinkable' turnaround
Just as he did in a previous life, Elton Seals stood on the corner of North Failing Street and Haight Avenue one recent afternoon and hustled his business to friends and passers-by.
He wasn't peddling dope, as he did as a lanky 12-year-old gang member. He wasn't getting into fights or dodging the police.
High on the adrenaline of seeing old friends, Seals was handing out business cards and fliers and networking the business he started a year ago that has become his full-time passion.
A perfectionist who tends to get involved with things to the point of obsession, Seals as a youth had been heading nowhere quickly, getting involved with the Unthank Park Hustlers in his teenage years and landing in prison at age 17 for robbing a drug house and pistol-whipping someone.
That was 10 years ago next week.
Today, he's a college graduate, aspiring pro football player and entrepreneur, whose biggest hurdle in life is his rap sheet.
A handful of loyal mentors in North and Northeast Portland beam at Seals' success, calling him a dynamic example of the efforts they put forth every day as they try to help youth overcome obstacles such as single-parent homes, poverty, the court system and the school system.
'It feels so good to see the ball go out of the park every now and then,' says the Rev. Robert Richardson, a Northeast Portland pastor who has been one of his closest mentors.
Anthony Stoudamire, one of Seals' youth football coaches, says he remembers how determined Seals was in life as far back as sixth grade. 'A lot of them turn themselves around, but they don't do it to the extent that Elton did,' he says. 'From where he came from to where he is now Ñ it's unthinkable.'
Seals, who turns 27 this week, is hard to miss as he stands on the corner, wearing his red graduation cap as a hat and carousing with his friends.
'Woe-life!' he says, with a huge, contagious grin and a head bob to everyone he sees. The boys who greet Seals in his old neighborhood are the younger brothers of his former friends, many of them dead or locked up in prison.
Their eyes light up as they return Seals' greeting, 'Woe-life!' It's the name of his new Internet venture, Woe-life.com, which he describes as 'the new urban eBay,' posting advertisements for everything from used snowboards to old Elvis records to dreadlock hair kits at discounted prices. He operates the Internet venture through his company, Mobile Entrepreneurs Inc.
The catchphrase has become the new 'What's up?' in their circle, a mantra that Seals says represents 'the struggle for equality and prosperity.'
Seals says the phrase was born out of the heartbreak he felt last year, when he missed out on a pro football contract because of his troubled past.
He had been playing with the Western Oregon University Wolves for two years and had gotten good vibes from NFL scouts, he says, but he was forgotten when draft day came around.
'The New York Giants scout said to me, 'It was too much to overcome,' ' Seals says, speaking of his criminal record. 'Too much history,' he heard from others.
'It was depressing and embarrassing,' the 6-foot, 200-pound defensive back says. He had trained and was on track to receive his degree; he'd even taken a few inches off his dreadlocks to clean up his image, he says.
'I said, this has been one hellacious woe life,' he says. 'What can I do? Where can I turn to?'
Difficult roots
Judging from his hyper personality, it seems nothing can bring Seals down. But talking about his adolescence is difficult for Seals. It's even worse for his mother, Mary Neal-Hill, who now lives in Aloha.
The troubles began in Los Angeles, where Seals at age 10 got caught up 'throwing rocks and stuff' with a gang called the Denver Lions, named after the city's Denver Street.
With his father in prison for conspiracy for 17 years in Los Angeles, his mother moved 12-year-old Seals and his two younger brothers to Northeast Portland in 1987 to live a better life. An older sister and younger sister stayed behind with other relatives.
Ironically, Seals' mother settled the family in a house across from the Boise neighborhood's Unthank Park Ñ in the middle of the gang violence that was just beginning to heat up in Portland.
His mother returned to Los Angeles to raise the two other children there, but Seals stayed in Portland because he was excelling at sports. He was in the care of his aunt in Northeast Portland while he attended Tubman Middle School and Benson High School, playing baseball, basketball and football.
'He was quite an athlete,' says Stan Hillman, who coached Seals as a 15-year-old playing in Little League and quarterbacking on a Pop Warner football team. 'Kids followed him. He's got a charismatic personality. He's fearless, and he plays hard. É Everything Elton's ever done, he's been a leader at it. That's got both good sides and bad sides.'
Trouble starts
Despite his talent, Seals began getting into trouble, running with the Unthank Park Hustlers, who sold crack cocaine in Unthank Park.
'The Unthank Park Hustlers was not a gang, we were just a family,' Seals says. 'We went to school, would come back, and try to make ends meet.' The group hung out at the park and along Northeast Alberta Street, from Ninth to 15th avenues.
What separated the group from a gang, he says, was that they didn't identify with colors or have natural rivals: 'We only beefed with people that beefed with us.'
As a juvenile, Seals was arrested several times for selling drugs and on other charges. Seals' aunt kicked him out of her house, and he was soon expelled from school for not having a legal guardian, he says. He spent the next few years homeless, sleeping in motels or in his car.
In 1994, at 17, he served his only long stretch in prison, under Measure 11 charges of robbery, burglary and assault.
'Elton was misjudged as a kid,' says Stoudamire, his former coach. 'He was never a bad kid. He just kind of got away from us.'
Another former coach, Murray Todd, remembers being in the courtroom watching the prosecution make its case against Seals. 'I really lost faith in our system, but I never lost faith in Elton,' he says. 'He was a victim of the system and had to pay the price. But he's hung in there.'
Seals Ñ who refers to his gang years as being 'comatose' Ñ says he did what he did because it was the 'urban lifestyle,' the way to cope with the domestic drama all of his peers were experiencing.
'My mom, my family, we've been poor all our life; why can't we get a break?' he says. 'I was tired of the struggle, of doing the right thing.'
The way out
Prison was the turning point, he says. With so much time on his hands, he began directing his energy and ideas into positive outlets, sketching ideas for his future company, Mobile Entrepreneurs Inc., and scribbling notes for the book on his life he is now close to finishing.
He took courses and obtained his high school equivalency diploma in 1994, attending Portland State University for a term and then a junior college in California until he was offered a full football scholarship to Western Oregon University in Monmouth, where he has an apartment today.
On June 14, dozens of mentors and relatives Ñ including his grandmother, who traveled from Los Angeles via Greyhound Ñ saw him receive his university diploma. He earned a 3.2 grade-point average and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in liberal arts and a bachelor of science in interdisciplinary studies.
This summer, Seals will head to an offseason training and conditioning football camp at the Phenom Factory in Altadena, Calif. He hopes to sign on with a professional team, possibly in the Arena Football League.
'I am so proud of Elton for getting his life together,' says Neal-Hill, who acts as her son's personal assistant, accompanying him on trips to market the company. 'I thank the Lord every day. It's been a long road.'
In addition to running the Web site for the past year, Seals is always brimming with a half-dozen other ventures. The projects Ñ which hinge on his ability to obtain funding Ñ include a compilation CD and DVD that he plans to produce, featuring himself and his younger brother's rap group, Young Poets; a line of urban lifestyle clothing that he's designed; and a vending operation he plans to bring to stores in Portland.
Everything he owns Ñ from his red graduation cap and gown to his clothing and the van he drives around as his mobile office Ñ is emblazoned with the Woe-life logo.
His friends are sure Seals' talents were born of his street days. 'If you grow up on these streets, you get hustling savvy in you,' says 21-year-old Evan Fountaine. 'You can hustle anything.'

Deck - 45º spindles - advice wanted (drawings inside)
OK, here's what we want to build.
The deck is easy, the railing doesn't look too hard, but I'd still like some tips and tricks if you've got any.
I'm going to use the standard 2x2 pressure treated spindles for the 45ºs.
2x6 top rail (gotta have room for a big beer mug :) )
2x4 laid flat for the center horizontal rail, and same for the bottom rail.
The drawing isn't exactly accurate, I need to have the bottom of the rail about 4" off the deck surface, to make sweeping/shovelling easier.
What is the best way to fasten the spindles in place? I'd thought about temporarily holding them in place with 2" brad nails, and then screwing everything once it's all in place. Does that sound like a good idea?
Any suggestions? Thanks!
I'd also like to ask another question.
The long span of railing on the right hand side will be a straight run, no corners. It's 18'-0" long. The 4' OC posts will be bolted into the rim joist. Are there better ways of supporting the railing? I'd hate for it to be shaky/wobbly.
Thanks again.
Does anyone have any input on this?
Kevin, give it a little time. There are more than one contractor that visits here but you have to wait until they get off work sometimes.
One thought comes to mind. Cut dados into the 2x4s both sides for the centers, oe dado on the bottom 2x4 and one on the top 2x6 so you eliminate the spindle from turning and one screw top and bottom. I'd also add a small amout of glue to help hold them.
As for the 4x4 post question. Notching them will help stiffen them up but will also leave more area for rot. Three good bolts should suffice. Use glue if you want the extra firmness. It will also keep moisture from entering the joint.
Of course a good exterior glue is needed. Gorilla comes to mind.
Have fun. It looks like a nice design. Let us see the finished pictures. And then again next year :)
Also, to limit any "wobbling" in the railing, keep your 4x4's no more than 4 ft. apart. I'd also suggest that you use a 4x4 post at the top of your stair handrail (right side of your pic). If you notch them like Paul suggested, you sould use end grain preservative on the cut sides to help prevent rot - actually, you should seal all your cut ends with it. All my PT cut ends get sealed. It adds to construction time but it's time well spent.
Another suggestion, use a 2x4 at the top of your railing, fasten all the ballusters from the top of the 2x4 and then top it all off with a 5/4 x 6 board. The 5/4 board will give you the width you need as well as serving to cover the screws you used to fasten the ballusters.
Great advice guys...thanks very much.
Terry, I had already changed the drawing to show a 4x4 post at the end of the stair rail.
What I've done in the past to battle the wobbles, is to notch the 4x4, and slide it into a 2x4 hole cut in the decking, right up against the joist. The 4x4 can then be lagged into the joist from the back side, and is held captive by the tight fitting hole in the decking. Does that make sense?
Be sure to posts pics when you're done.
BTW, what material are you using for the decking and railings?
Never really thought about doing the railing before the decking - great idea.
We're using green pressure treated decking.
Thanks for the input.
What did you use for the drawing?
Pressure treated wood for decking is losing favor for those who had them installed. In just 3 to 5 years, you will see cracks in the wood and warping. Take a look at the new composite wood made from wood chips and plastic I think. I have an untreated sample that I kept outside for over three years and the only differance between it and my indoor sample is that it turned a nice confederate grey color. Colors are available in the decking materials and I believe that the colors hold up to the weather. Theres even plastic railing available for a complete maintenance free deck except for spring cleaning. Then you would use pressure treated wood for the beams, joists, main supports and the 4 x 4 uprights. There is a plastic cover thats placed over the 4 x 4 and with hardware, you connect your railing to it. The only thing is: your design is not available .
I'm not a big fan of the composite myself (no offence). My #1 preference is cedar - to each his own...
MinConst, I used AutoCAD 98LT for the drawing, but recently acquired AutoCAD 2005. Seems just as easy to use.
rjordan392, I've built a decent number of decks with pressure treated lumber, and they've held up ok. I'm not a big fan of the composite materials either. Too bouncy, even on 12" centers. (trex)
Terry, that's what I meant, it just didn't appear on the screen the way I typed it. ;)
Hey Kevin.. Totally random question. How did you create that photo that you posted?

ARP Table & VLANs on a Catalyst Switch
I'm new to VLANs on Cisco gear.
I need the command to display the ARP table for my VLANs. When I use the "sh arp" or "sh ip arp" all I see are the ARP entries for my switch - none of my devices appear. When I try to add the "Vlan" parameter as the "sh ip arp ?" indicates the switch tries to resolve "Vlan" and then does nothing. Thus:
18W-ACC1>sh ip arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 172.17.253.2 - 58bc.27d8.f541 ARPA Vlan253
Internet 172.17.253.254 172 0000.0c07.acfd ARPA Vlan253
18W-ACC1>sh ip arp Vlan3
Translating "Vlan3"...domain server (255.255.255.255)
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
18W-ACC1>sh ip arp Vlan 3
Translating "Vlan"...domain server (255.255.255.255)
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
How can I display the mac addresses of devies on my networks?
Joe has not told us whether this network is all in the same VLAN/same subnet or whether it is in several VLANs/several subnets.
The suggestion from Alain will work is the destination is in the same subnet as the management interface of the switch. But if the destination is in a different subnet then the switch will arp for its default gateway and the destination will not be in the switch arp table.
If this network is in several subnets then what Joe needs to do is to go to the layer 3 device that is routing between the subnets and do the show arp on that device. This is where he will find the MAC that is associated with the device. And once he finds the MAC in the ARP table then he may need to use show mac address-table to find the switch and the switch port where it is connected.

The call centers involved are in Bellevue, WA, Southfield, MI and Houston, TX. No reason was given by Verizon for this action. When you consider that the company added 1.5 million net retail subscribers in the fourth quarter, the most in three years, you wonder what was the thinking behind the closings and pink slips. Sure the bottom lime showed that the company lost $2.02 billion in the period, but that was after a $3.4 billion charge for a pension plan revaluation charge. Data revenues surged.
What might be the problem is the price of the stock which has been trading between 34 and 40 for the last year, basically going sideways. If the layoffs and closings can improve profits, the hope is that investors will see this growth and start buying Verizon's common stock. If there is another reason for what Verizon has done, it might be good public relations to announce it.

Hey there, fellow ThemeForest authors!
I just published a new WordPress theme last night, and subsequently reached 10 000 sales in total! Therefore, I thought it was appropriate to address the whole community with a forum post! I wish to give a truly big thank you to all of the buyers, authors, Envato's employees, and all the rest of the people involved in Envato in any way, for making ThemeForest as awesome as it is today!
It has been a tremendous and exciting journey so far for me, since the day got involved with Envato, and that doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. I absolutely love every minute of what I do, and on top of it all, the independence and freedom Envato gives me in terms of my work and lifestyle, so I truly hope they will provide me, and all the rest of us authors, with an opportunity to continue working and earning our buck in this awesomely liberating place.
Thank you!

Is this CG Friendly?
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Gel
Can you tell me if this is CG friendly or not? I know that Dimethicone is a bad cone but I thought it PEG was with it then it makes it water soluable? I was not sure about all the places here that Dimethicone is listed.
Thanks so much!
Water, polyacrlyamindomethylpropane,sulfonic acid, triethanolamine, VP/VA Copolymer,Carbomer, Bisamino, PEG/PPG-41/3 Aminoethyl PG-Propyl Dimethicone/Hedychium Coronarium (White Ginger),/PEG-12 Dimethicone, Bisamino PEG/PPG-41/3 Aminoethyl PG-Propyl Dimethicone/Algae/Aloe Baradensis/Lawsonia inermis (henna)/Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba)/Rosmarinus Officinalis/PEG 12- Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol,Melaleeuca Alternifolia (tee Tree), Leaf Oil, Etc
Can anyone tell me if this is CG friendly?
The PEG is supposed to make it water-soluble, but I'd be wary considering how many times it shows up. Even modified dimethicone can't be all that great when it shows up 4 times on the ingredient list.

Philadelphia hotels map
View mapPhiladelphia intro. The city of Philadelphia, one of the US's biggest, is sited in Pennsylvania State, 45 miles inland from the nation's eastern Atlantic Ocean coast. It has a wealth of history and tourist draws. The city is just above the confluence of the rivers Delaware and Schuylkill. To accommodate the large numbers of annual visitors to the region there is a great choice of hotels in Philadelphia. The heart of the city is a district known as Center City, which is located in the fork created by the two rivers. A good number of the establishments are located in this precinct with a central cluster in the environs of Market Street. Attractions and cultural sites such as Walnut Street Theater, Reading Terminal Market, innumerable shops, Penn's Landing and the Parkway Museums District are all within a short distance of the central accommodations. Penn's Landing is on the Delaware's bank and is the venue for annual festivals. Several old ships, including a WWII submarine are moored here. Taking the ferry across to New Jersey gives great views of Center City.

Travel Picks: Top 5 trend forecasts for 2012
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Your last trip this year may just be driving home for Christmas, but 2012 is already shaping up to be a year when travelers will be seeking to maximize their money with gateway destinations, mini-upgrades and combine adventure with altruism. That's why online travel adviser Cheapflights (www.cheapflights.com) has come up with its top five travel trend predictions for 2012. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
Though the priority is to get away, cutting costs is still on the top of every traveler's mind. Cheapflights predicts value-for-money escapes will be the top trend in 2012; the industry will see a rise in consumer demand for discounted trips like package vacations, all-inclusives and cruises. Bundling trips into weekend deals and warm-weather getaways gives fliers the excuse to vacation without the guilt of spending big. Cheapflights has seen a lot of top-notch metropolises like Chicago and Boston rank well on our list of lower-than-average airfares. If the goal is a sun drenched escape, consider Fort Lauderdale not only as a destination but as a gateway to Miami and the rest of South Florida. Still high on our list: Puerto Rico. Low-cost airlines JetBlue and Spirit are routing affordable fares to alternative Borinquen Airport on the west side of the island. For a more international experience, we are seeing low average airfares to Toronto or Quebec, good for the cold lovers, and Nassau, Bahamas, or Cancun, Mexico, for the sun seekers. Among our more traditional favorites in Europe, Dublin and Barcelona currently top the ranking for lowest average airfare. Thessaloniki, Greece, comes is with a slightly higher average airfare but most likely offers a better overall value given ground cost tradeoffs.
In its 2011 survey, PetRelocation.com reported that almost 33 percent of pet owners planned to take their pets outside of the United States on an international retreat. This comes just as countries worldwide rewrite travel requirements to lessen the burden and fees for passengers flying with animals. The New Year's more relaxed rules should see a significant increase in the number of individuals and families in particular traveling with their favored furry friends. Some airlines have seen an uptick already, with Virgin reporting a 1500 percent increase in the number of dogs vacationing with their owners since 2003.
When the economic downturn was officially announced in 2009, various types of vacations rooted in giving back emerged. This New Year is set to see the introduction of a new vacation trend: athletic voluntourism. Born out of the popular participation in famous world races such as the New York or London marathons, this trend is growing and spreading into other areas of sport including cycling, hiking, walking and even wheel chair racing for many worthy causes. The calorie-burning, well-intentioned trips have the doubly beneficial effect of raising money while getting fit. (And it's the perfect way to burn off any excess toxins consumed over the holiday season.)
Reality competitions like The Amazing Race and Survivor for years have offered viewers around-the-world trips from the comfort of their own couches. Now other reality shows are stepping up their destination game, creating episodes and entire seasons around a single destination. Top Chef is taking its cuisine - and audience - to Texas this year, while Jersey Shore flew the drama across the Atlantic to Florence, Italy, in summer 2011. Whether it's the cuisine or the fist pumps, reality shows are inspiring TV junkies to consider vacation spots that, if not for their DVR, they may not have considered. Continued...

|Admin Console Problem
|Mon, 08 May 2006 06:13:11 GMT
hi, the CommitChangesAction of the admin console has a problem. This action calls for a method called "storeConfig" in o.a.c.c.StandardServer class. This results calls for a method called "storeContext" in the same class. the "storeContext" method writes the context data to context config file. This causes change in this file, and then some back ground thread redeploys the application. Hence calling to "storeConfig" method causes redeploys all the web applications. (since it calls for "storeContext" for all the deployed applications). So in Admin console when a user Click on the commit button, the user will logged off from the session and redeployes all the deployed applications. commenting out the above "storeContext" method call, is not a solution since, this admin console can also be used to edit the context specific data. can someone propose a solution for this? (i.e stop redeploying the applications unnecesarily) thankx, amila.

Soliciting Donations
Problem: You're passionate about raising money for several charities. How many times can you hit up the same people?
Solution: You can approach immediate family for pretty much every fund-raiser you support, from cookie sales to charity races. However, if you solicit distant relatives more than twice a year, e-mail them annually and ask which causes interest them most, suggests Allison Blanton, the senior development adviser of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. "That way, you don't inundate them with requests unless they've said it's OK," she says. With friends and acquaintances, limit yourself to two or three requests a year. Group e-mails (with recipients' addresses hidden, to protect privacy) asking for contributions are fine. It's always a good idea to send a thank-you note or e-mail when a fund-raising project is over, to communicate your gratitude and to let donors know their generosity made an impact. But remember: You'll get better results―and keep more friends―by targeting your solicitations, rather than blasting your entire address book. "If it's the symphony, contact friends you know are passionate about the arts," suggests Caroline Tiger, author of How to Behave: A Guide to Modern Manners for the Socially Challenged ($13, amazon.com). "But save the call to dog lover Aunt Eileen until you're raising money for the animal shelter."

Bungeishunjū Ltd. (株式会社文藝春秋 Kabushiki-gaisha Bungeishunjū), established in 1923, is a Japanese publishing company known for its leading monthly magazine Bungeishunjū. The company was founded by Kan Kikuchi.[2] It grants the annual Akutagawa Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards in Japan, as well as the annual Naoki Prize for popular novelists. It also grants the annual Bungeishunjū Manga Award for achievement in the manga and illustration fields. It is headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo.[1]
The company publishes Bungakukai (文學界), the weekly Bunshun (週刊文春), and the sports magazine Number, which represent public opinion of literary, political, and sport-journalistic culture, respectively. The Bunshun, in particular, has come to be known for litigation involving freedom of speech issues, particularly alleged privacy violations and defamation; see, for example, Mitsuo Kagawa.
List of magazines[edit]
The magazines published by Bungeishunjū include:
- Bungeishunjū (文藝春秋) (published monthly)
- All Yomimono (オール讀物 Ōru Yomimono) (published monthly)
- Shūkan Bunshun (週刊文春) (published weekly)
- Bungakukai (文學界) (monthly literary issue)
- Crea (クレア) (women's quality)
- Shokun (諸君!) (op-ed magazine)
- Title (タイトル)
- Number (ナンバー)
Company history[edit]
Bungeishunjū was founded in 1923 by writer Kan Kikuchi. The company was disbanded in March 1946 but was reestablished in June of the same year.[1]
Marco Polo Holocaust denial article[edit]
In February 1995 a Japanese magazine named Marco Polo, a 250,000-circulation monthly published by Bungei Shunju, ran a Holocaust denial article by physician Masanori Nishioka which stated:
The "Holocaust" is a fabrication. There were no execution gas chambers in Auschwitz or in any other concentration camp. Today, what are displayed as "gas chambers" at the remains of the Auschwitz camp in Poland are a post-war fabrication by the Polish communist regime or by the Soviet Union, which controlled the country. Not once, neither at Auschwitz nor in any territory controlled by the Germans during the Second World War, was there "mass murder of Jews" in "gas chambers."[3]
The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center instigated a boycott of Bungei Shunju advertisers, including Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, and Cartier. Within days, Bungei Shunju shut down Marco Polo and its editor, Kazuyoshi Hanada, quit, as did the president of Bungei Shunju, Kengo Tanaka.[4]

One of the year's best movies — and the odds-on favorite for the Best Picture Oscar — finally arrives in Utah.
The drama "12 Years a Slave" deserves all the hype and accolades being piled on it. It's an unflinching, beautifully crafted and emotionally direct look at one of the darkest periods of American history: The pre-Civil War era, where slavery was legal in the South. Director Steve McQueen ("Shame," "Hunger") and screenwriter John Ridley ("Red Tails," "Three Kings") tell the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man in upstate New York who, in 1841, was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. Northup, brilliantly played by the British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, tries to survive the brutality and mercurial moods of his captors, as he watches for a chance at freedom. This movie is sometimes hard to take, but impossible to dismiss.

I love a good accessory as much as the next woman. More than some. And I find myself wildly drawn to the work found at Lo Behome, a designer of fabulous flights of bridal fancy like the Cleo Fascinator, shown here. It can be worn in a variety of ways and attaches to your updo of choice with alligator clips.
But wait, there are other great accessories at Lo Boheme!

I Never Promised You an Ecstasy Garden
Since we've been discussing some Mormon perspectives on conversion and personal revelation, I've got the perfect excuse to link to Daniel Siliman's essay on Catholic conversion stories. It's very much a RTWT, but I'll post an excerpt to whet your appetite. (Ok, it's a long excerpt. I got carried away.) My sense is, too, that while there're certainly historic examples of Catholic conversion narratives, that this widespread popularity -- that conversion narratives as a common Catholic practice … [Read more...]

Now he's popping in to talk about conversions than win over hearts as well as minds in the light of a recent On the Square piece.It is a typical indictment of Mormon proselytization and practice that it's all predicated on untrustworthy or … [Read more...]
The Epistemological Weight of Warm Fuzzies
I was reading an On the Square post from a Mormon to Catholic convert and was struck by the way he described his enounter with grace: Early in the evening of May 28, 2010, I am attending Mass in the majestic Basilica di Sant'Apollinare next to the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce in Rome. From Utah I have come as a scholar to deliver a paper at an international conference on the work of the great Catholic philosopher Dietrich von Hildebrand, and I have come as a tourist to see the Et … [Read more...]

God Can't Prove Much to Puny Mortals
Over in the comment thread of last week's post on standards of proof for miracles, P.
