Windows Web Hosting: How to Choose
When it comes to technological domination, Microsoft usually comes out on top. However, there is one area of computing where Microsoft does not dominate, and that's the web. Sure, Microsoft managed to outmuscle Netscape in the early browser wars, but by and large, the web has always been, and remains, a thorny venue for Microsoft, one where the boys from Redmond are routinely outfoxed and outmaneuvered by smaller, nimbler and more innovative companies. That said, Microsoft, of course, remains the biggest and most important software company in the world, and it almost totally owns the corporate market. So while there are millions of websites running on open-source Apache, Microsoft's ASP.NET web application development framework is used by a larger developer community to build dynamic websites. Which means that Windows web hosting is an issue for anyone working with ASP.NET.
As far as open database connectivity goes, you want to be able to set up DSN-less connections via ODBC use in addition to file-based DSNs. This means a Windows web hosting company should support Paradox, Visual FoxPro, Excel, the Access JET OLEDB, the Microsoft Database and SQL driver, and PostgreSQL on top of the standard MySQL ODBC drivers. You also want to be sure that all of this is not only available, but that tech support is able to assist if you have questions or encounter a problem. There's nothing more frustrating than playing email ping-pong with clueless tech support folks when you have a client project deadline.
Many ASP.NET programmers are still using ASP or manage ASP-based client projects. This means they need specific server object, and the host must support those as well. It gets right back to picking someone familiar with Microsoft's way of doing web business.
What else do you need for good Windows web hosting? The same as you'd look for in any web host: decent equipment, quick tech support response, competitive pricing, and hosting packages that address your needs. Picking the right web host is really like selecting application software - it's got to be right for the job.

Great Access Point - Long range and no setup neede
I was looking for an access point to replace the modem/router combo provided by AT&T/2Wire. The 2 Wire router was a 54g router which was slow and had really bad range. I had wireless signal in half of my 1500sq ft apartment and also I needed more Ethernet ports to connect my printers and other networking devices in my office which is where my router is. I came upon this solution browsing online for high powed access points. It seemed like it had everything I was looking for so I bought one. When I got it I unpacked it and saw that the instructions were very simple. You just plug it into your routers available port and that's it. Seriously it's that simple. I had to remove my printers LAN connection to my router and plug it into the Amped Wireless access points 4 Ethernet ports, along with my network storage and my Net talk VoIP phone. After gout through the very simple setup, I tested the range. Took my laptop around my house and had five bars in all rooms and even my backyard and pool. Speed is incredible. All in all I must say this product has exceeded all my expectations. If you have a router from you ISP you must get this upgrade. Or if you just need to upgrade or add workwear his access point does the trick and more.

Rihanna reportedly loves getting a Brazilian bikini wax.
As far as celebrity rumors go, this one is pretty amusing. The singer supposed stopped by the aptly-named Fuzz Wax Bar in Toronto not too long ago for a touch-up. Instead of using something to numb the pain, Rihanna decided to sit back and let it ride.
"One of our estheticians brought Rihanna the numbing cream but she just laughed. Most women find a Brazilian wax very painful but she just said: 'No way, I love the pain. It feels good to me,'" one of those celebrity insiders explained.
The conveniently anonymous individual added, "RiRi was escorted to a treatment room with very thin walls and not a scream or squeal was heard. In fact, it sounded like she was enjoying herself. She was singing and humming songs all through the treatment. None of us could stop laughing."
Naturally, you probably shouldn't put too much stock into a rumor being passed around by someone who won't reveal their name. However, the mental image alone makes it stand out from the other outrageous and potentially false rumors about the singer.
Rihanna recently made her way to Istanbul for the next stop on her successful Diamonds tour. The singer arrived in the region on a private yacht, an occasion she marked by flipping off a camera. Nothing says you've arrived quite like sticking up both of your middle fingers.
"Rolled up to my show on a yacht!" she tweeted on Thursday. She also used the social media site to apologize to her mother for the rude gesture.
Since she is selling out shows left and right, Rihanna also felt the need to boast a little bit on Twitter. You can find some of her self-congratulatory tweets below.
I see you aiming at my pedestal… I betta letcha know… #SOLDOUT #STADIUMSTATUS instagram.com/p/Z82sU_BM7w/
— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 30, 2013
I sell out stadiums… Call it what ya want!!! #diamondsworldtour instagram.com/p/Z829nrhM8L/

Are you a fan of Rihanna? Do you think there's any truth to the rumors about her love of getting a painful Brazilian bikini wax?

text: The other day I got an email from a colleague entitled "strange question". This is the sort of email that immediately makes me perk up (it's always fun seeing what other people consider strange) so I opened it instead of putting it in the "get to later" queue. Given the timing, I was expecting a request for advice on the best charm bracelet, or whether sequins were too much for an office party, or whether it was possible to go tie-less in a tuxedo, but instead what I found was: "Are animal prints – leopard, zebra stripes, and so on – still in?"

Why has my veterinarian prescribed Biomox®?
Amoxicillin is a synthetic penicillin-type antibiotic, which is effective in treating a range of infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Amoxicillin has been prescribed by your pet's veterinarian to treat your pet's bacterial infection.
How do I give Biomox®?
If I miss a dose, what do I do?
If you miss a dose, give it to your pet as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, then continue with the regular dosing schedule. Do not give your pet two doses at once.
How do I store Biomox®?
Keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Store this medicine at room temperature in a dry, cool place. Keep this medicine away from heat and direct sunlight.
Do not store this medicine in damp places, in the bathroom, or near the kitchen sink. This medication can break down when exposed to moisture or heat.
Store the liquid form of this medication in the refrigerator and keep it from freezing. Discard any unused liquid medication after 14 days.
What are the potential side effects of Biomox®?
Amoxicillin may cause stomach upset, vomiting, and diarrhea. If stomach upset occurs, give the medicine to your pet with some food. These symptoms may go away during treatment. If they persist, contact your pet's veterinarian.
The following reactions are rare. However, if your pet experiences an allergic reaction such as irregular breathing, rash, fever, or puffiness and swelling around the face, contact your pet's veterinarian immediately.
Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your pet's veterinarian.
What about possible drug interactions?
Be sure to tell your pet's veterinarian about any other medications or supplements you are giving your pet.
It's not uncommon for your pet's veterinarian to prescribe two different medications, which may cause a drug interaction to occur. If this happens, your pet's veterinarian may change the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
The following drugs may interact with Amoxicillin: chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, and probenecid.
Contact your pet's veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
Resistance is a major concern when giving antibiotics. Resistance occurs when bacteria survive and mutate and are then able to survive even after antibiotics are given. To help avoid any resistance, it is important to give antibiotics as they are prescribed for as long as they are prescribed even if your pet is looking and feeling better.

Regional Reviews: Connecticut & the Berkshires
Regional Reviews by Fred Sokol
Good News!
The new adaptation by Jeremy Desmon (based on the book written by Laurence Schwab, Frank Mandel, and B.G. DeSylva) finds quarterback Tom Marlowe (Ross Lekites) destined to marry fair Pat Bingham (Lindsay O'Neil), whose family and its many dollars help support Tait College. Meanwhile red-haired Babe O'Day (Tessa Faye), blessed with malleable body and face, looks for a new boyfriend. That might just turn out to be Bobby Randall (Barry Shafrin).
Tom is interested, following his coach's advisory, in football and womennot scholarly endeavors. He flunks astronomy but is quite taken with Connie Lane (Chelsea Morgan Stock), a student who will tutor him. The faculty member who happens to be an astronomy whiz is Professor Charlotte Kenyon (Beth Glover) who recalls the days when she and current football Coach Bill Johnson (Mark Zimmerman) were classmates. Yes, predictablebut it does not matter.
One is able to anticipate various plot turns, and everyone watching must gather that, in the end, likely and unlikely individuals will couple off. Joy abounds! Good News! features tunes like "The Best Things In Life Are Free," a duet sung by Stock and Lekites. There's "You're the Cream in my Coffee," with Zimmerman and Glover. The second act includes "Button up your Overcoat" (Faye and Shafrin) as well as assistant coach Pooch (played by Max Perlman) and others combining on "Keep Your Sunny Side Up." The final scene brings Glover, Stock, and Faye together for "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries" and then everyone is on stage for "The Best Things in Life are Free" and the title tunefinales.
The Goodspeed production is a pleasure. The important creative team which includes director/choreographer Vince Pesce, dance arranger David Krane, and musical director Michael O'Flaherty adds effervescence to a piece which (without this exuberance) might feel dated. That is not the case at the Goodspeed. Costumes provided by Tracy Christensen are ever-bright greens, yellows, oranges. Late in the second act, director Pesce brings a lovely, lyrical football ballet between Tait and its rival college. The men move with grace and fluency in a number, one gathers, arranged by David Krane.
Tessa Faye (as Babe) catches attention early with her physical dexterity, enthusiasm, and embrace of her role: one who seeks a man. Barry Shafrin has comic flair. Chelsea Morgan Stock is a sweet soprano and that is evident with "Just Imagine." Zimmerman, as the head coach, and Perlman, in the role as assistant Pooch), are caricaturesdelightfully so.
The requisite list of successful elements of such a musical must include both romance and comedy. Good News! has plenty of each. Many of the musical numbers are familiar and, as the evening progresses, one looks forward to yet another standard. Not to sound antiquated, but this production takes flight because it is delectably jazzed-up. I mean, really: how else could we care about a 1920s football hero who has to get by an astronomy test in order to play in the big game?
Good News! continues at Goodspeed Musicals through June 22nd. For ticket information, visit goodspeed.org or call (860) 873-8668.

2 Recommendations
TyraBTrendy's recommendation
Lovely, practical, miniature glass perfume bottle.
WishListingWinnie's recommendation
Been looking for miniature perfume glass bottles to wear for sometime. There was a Lenora Dame perfume glass bottle necklace available at anthropologie a while back, but when I was able to check it out at the store, it's a lot bigger than I was expecting, and lacks that delicate, glamorous quality about it that I've been looking for. Which is why I practically squealed when I saw this online: it is exactly what a perfume glass bottle should look like and seldom does. Am so getting this one!

Hello all -
Bit of a ramble to contextualise our trip: I'm a 23 year old woman from London, and along with my boyfriend, we'll be backpacking Asia for a few months from April this year. The original plan was to do a trek in Nepal and then visit India, but we've had it convincingly pointed out to us that May/June/July will be an awful time of year to visit India, for the heat. (At the very beginning of our planning, we were intending to be out there right now, but work commitments have forced the trip back).
As a result, we're suddenly now back to the drawing board. We are still going to be doing a trek in Nepal in April, as this is booked, but we're now considering SE Asia to follow.
Money is unfortunately not limitless - I will probably be looking to take around £6000 for the whole thing. The flight to Kathmandu is already booked and we have paid the deposit for the trek which, once we've fully paid, is going to total around £800 each. So, I personally will be looking at £5200 ish for the remainder of the journey. We're hoping to be away for as long as possible, but realistically, we'll probably be heading home in late July/mid-August.
Knowing that the summer is not the best time to visit SE Asia, however, I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start with planning a new route. We want to avoid retracing steps as much as possible, but also want to work with the weather patterns to make the best of it. I've heard Malaysia and Indonesia are both good at that time (and we can fly direct from Kathmandu to Kuala Lumpur), but we are very keen to see Cambodia, Vietnam and, of course, Thailand.
I know that's probably a LOT of countries for only a 3 to 4 month trip, so I'm keen to hear peoples' opinions regarding what would be a good route from May-August, particularly regarding what the weather is like in Thailand & Cambodia over that period. We can always save to come back to see countries we might miss, though it'll probably not be for as long a travel period again!
Also, I know Thailand and Cambodia are theoretically relatively cheap for backpackers (which is how we'll be travelling) but does anyone know how Malaysia and Indonesia might fare in comparison?
Many thanks for any input!

Rise and Shine.Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I rise, I'm beaten down,
And then I rise again.
I'm sometimes brown and sometimes white.
(White goes against the grain.)
Though I am often needed,
I'm taken for granted too.
But I may be the "Toast of the Town",
Before the day is through.
I'm often cut in pieces,
Sometimes thin and sometimes thick.
You find that quite convenient
When you want something quick.
I'm crusty on the outside,
But, inside you will know,
I'm soft and moist and chewy
You'll feel good as I go.
I'm rarely used alone and bare.
Most times I'm paired with others.
Try to guess just what I am,
As you consume my brothers.
AnswerI am a loaf of bread.
(Crunchy, warm from the oven, home-made bread. I don't want to be the mass-produced, supermarket sort.)
What Next?
See another brain teaser just like this one...
Or, just get a random brain teaser
If you become a registered user you can vote on this riddle, keep track of
which ones you have seen, and even make your own.

Quick GuideHow to Lower Blood Pressure: Exercise Tips
How is the diagnosis of portal hypertension made?
Portal hypertension usually is diagnosed well after the process has begun in the body, and only after a complication occurs. When a patient develops ascites or has gastrointestinal bleeding, the health care professional will look for potential causes, including portal hypertension.
Once the diagnosis is a possibility, it can be confirmed by blood tests, X-rays, CT or MRI and endoscopy. Pressures within the portal vein are not routinely measured except in specific situations (see TIPS procedure)
What is the treatment for portal hypertension?
Treatment for portal hypertension is often directed at preventing complications. This includes treating the underlying cause and avoidance of alcohol. Because of the risk of further liver damage, over-the-counter medications that contain acetaminophen (Tylenol, Panadol, etc.) should also be avoided.
Dietary restrictions include limiting salt to prevent further ascites fluid accumulation. Protein restriction may also be indicated, since increased protein load can overwhelm the liver's ability to synthesize it and may lead to hepatic encephalopathy.
Medications such as beta blockers and nitroglycerin may be appropriate to decrease pressure within the portal system. Lactulose may be prescribed as a treatment for hepatic encephalopathy.
Endoscopy may be required to band or tie off varices in the esophagus to prevent catastrophic and life threatening bleeding.
A TIPS procedure (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) may be an option to decrease the pressure within the portal system. An interventional radiologist attempts to place a tube that connects the portal vein with the hepatic vein. This may decrease the pressure within the liver and may also reduce pressure within the veins of the stomach and esophagus, hopefully decreasing the risk of bleeding.
If portal hypertension and liver dysfunction become bad enough, liver transplantation may be necessary.

Stew Morrill gave some credit to UT Arlington's defense on Thursday night. But he acknowledged that Louisiana Tech will be a whole different game.
"Give them credit, they're good defensively," "They hound you, they press you a little bit. But the pressure is nothing like we're going to see Saturday."
The Bulldogs are a different cut of team, strong offensively and defensively. They'll present a host of new problems for Utah State, but defense will be one of those.
In the middle, Louisiana Tech boasts one of the nation's best shot-blockers in Michale Kyser. The 6-foot-9 forward averages a robust 3.2 swats a game.
But the Bulldogs are also the best in the WAC around the perimeter, holding opponents to less than 30 percent from beyond the arc. They're second in the WAC in steals per game with 8.6.
Unfortunately for the Aggies, these strengths appear to present a tough match-up. The Aggies have struggled with physically challenging opponents in the paint. They've had a problem with taking care of the ball and giving up turnovers. They've become reliant on the 3-point shot, so when those don't fall, offense will be tough to come by.
Louisiana Tech will turn up the pressure, playing with size and athletes that UT Arlington did not possess. That might be the most difficult challenge for Utah State, even with the Bulldogs coming in with Raheem Appleby and a league-best offense.
It's a big reason why the Aggies should hope for a packed house on Saturday, particularly following the football celebration. Home court advantage will be more crucial.
The greater concern is that a loss on Saturday could mean more negative momentum, with the Aggies rolling backward downhill.
"If you lose the first one of a home series, it's a challenge," Morrill said. "You've got to be tough and make sure you don't drop a couple."

Which Ad Tech Companies Could Go Public in 2013
Ad companies are making moves; and, according to Ari Paparo, 2013 may be the year of IPOs for ad operations. An unexpected number of ad companies are finding themselves entering the public sector, including ad network Millennial Media, which went public in March 2012. Here is Paparo's list of ad tech companies most likely to go public in 2013, in order from most likely to least.
Criteo: Rumored gross revenue of $500 million and very strong global growth put Criteo in the pole-position for most likely to exit. I had heard the S1 was coming in late-Q1, but, as with everything in this market, that's probably smoke.
Rubicon: CEO Frank Addante recently declared the company profitable and with Pubmatic in decline and AdMeld in rewrite mode Rubicon has the SSP field largely to itself. Rampant rumors have Rubicon being courted by Yahoo!, but in the absence of a deal a public offering could be in the works. Alternatively, they may want to bulk up their offerings with some M&A of their own to make a more attractive candidate for the markets.
Kenshoo/Marin: I'm not an expert in search advertising, but both Kenshoo and Marin appear to be clear leaders in the space and they're making noise about a filing in 2013. I'll give them both the benefit of the doubt.
Adapt.tv: Video is incredibly hot right now and Adapt.tv has one of the strongest stories in the market. They've been able to position themselves as a tech company in the emerging video advertising space, as opposed to Tremor and BrightRoll (below), both of whom are more pigeon-holed as ad networks. (Whether this is a fair characterization is totally irrelevant). Hiring Tim Morse as CFO from Yahoo! is clearly a signal of intent to offer. And, as a side note, all the video companies listed here have much more solid fundamentals than Millennial Media, which the public markets, for some unknown reason, continues to value at $1 billion in market cap.
Tremor/BrightRoll: Going to put both video leaders in the same bucket. Fast-growing video ad networks with healthy margins in a hot space. Not clear if either is big enough to get the attention of Wall Street, so may need to wait for 2014 and/or some M&A to shake up winners from the second-tier.
Turn: 2012 was a break-out year for Turn in the DSP space, and I've heard they are transacting something like $400 million in media on behalf of their clients, which would compare very favorably with some of the others on this list. My guess is they need another year of growth and internal maturity before filing.
RocketFuel: By all accounts RocketFuel is growing rapidly as a buy-side ad network/DSP, representing, in my guess, among the top 5 sources of programatic demand. I don't have a lot of visibility on their numbers, but have heard they're looking at filing in 2013. Take with a grain of salt.

"Pitt would likely demand his full price of $US17.5 million ($A31.76 million) on an epic like Troy, but apparently was prepared to settle for $US6 million ($A10.89 million) or thereabouts on The Fountain, as part of the agreement to keep the budget manageable," Variety said.
Pitt reportedly also had reservations about The Fountain, which was to be directed by Darren Aronofsky.
"Aside from a long-standing interest in doing David Benioff's script Troy, Pitt apparently expressed concerns about the complexity of the Fountain script, which is co-penned by Aronofsky and scribe Ari Handel," Variety said.
The Fountain has had a rocky life and has looked doomed on a number of occasions.
Warner Bros temporarily pulled the plug last year when the budget kept creeping upward, the script still had development issues and Australian co-star Cate Blanchett was pregnant.
And earlier this year one of its co-financers, Village Roadshow, dropped out.
But the project came back to life when Warner Bros found another co-financier, Hollywood studio New Regency.
The project also created rivalry between NSW Premier Bob Carr and his Queensland counterpart Peter Beattie when reports surfaced Pitt supposedly did not want to film the movie on the Gold Coast.
The Fountain could still go ahead.
Variety said Warner executives have apparently placed calls to agents asking about the availability of several other top stars as replacements for Pitt.
Warner Bros, according to Variety, would not comment on any aspect of The Fountain casting, while a spokesman at Pitt's agent, Creative Artists Agency, insisted Pitt is still committed to making The Fountain.

1. First off the two main powers of both their sharingan have many things in common. Both kakashi's and tobi's sharingan's alter dimensions kakashi can send objects through dimensions and tobi can send parts of his body through dimensions
2. In the recent manga as everyone knows kakashi tried to end the gedo mazo by sending it's neck to another dimension, however it did not work. This i believe was not because of the gedo mazo, but when kakashi tried to send it to another dimension, tobi simply brought it back with his own sharingan.
3. Something also intrigued me in the manga and I think it further supports my evidence. At the end there was a crack in tobi's mask and I think i know how it got there.
As you can see in the second row of panels, kakashi uses kamui to make the kunai disappear just as naruto's fist reaches tobi's face. The panel right next to that shows the kunai just about to disappear as naruto extends his chakra arm. This is when i believe naruto mad contact with tobi's mask. How did he make contact with his mask? Because tobi was unable to become tangible while kakashi's kamui was still open. Once the kunai disappeared tobi became untangible again and naruto was only able to make a crack. I believe this is because kamui and tobi's space-time justu are connected dimensions so they both cancel each other out.
This is just my opinion tell me what you think!

The growing trend in running barefoot tempts me to make a few jokes about the cost of running shoes during the recession, but I will desist. Fact is, however, that there is a growing segment of the population that likes to run au natural, and of course, the footwear companies have found a way to cash in on this.
In other words, they want to make footwear for people who want to run barefoot. Which is sort of like making swimwear for skinny dippers.
The brand name that really attracts me is the Vibram Five Fingers. These shoes look pretty cool, but let's return to the name.
Five Fingers.
For footwear?
Some call these the "barefoot alternative," or the closest you can get to knowing how it would feel like to run a marathon like Fred Flintstone.
These shoes, which really have taken up some serious headspace among aficionados of natural running, already have a plethora of catchy nicknames like "VFFs" and "Vibes," but there is just no getting around the fact that feet do not have fingers - they have toes!
But, alas, the Vibram Five Toes just sounds, well, weird. So, somehow or other, the name seems to work.
Nike is also getting into the mix, offering a stripped down sneaker called the "Free 5.0," but as far I can see, it looks like a plain old running shoe. And nothing Nike offers is "Free."
Now, here's the funny one: the Vivo Barefoot.
This one is really a plain, old shoe that sort of looks like a pair of Grasshoppers. There is nothing "barefoot" about it.
Obviously, these names are illustrative of the difficulty in naming a product that, by most degrees of logic, really should not exist.

No. 3 Kentucky Rifle Finishes Second at NCAA Championships
March 9, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After delivering a 2355 on Saturday in air rifle, the University of Kentucky rifle team moved up two spots to finish second at the 2013 NCAA Rifle Championships in Columbus, Ohio, adding to Friday's 2315 in smallbore to bring the team's aggregate score to 4670.
"I'm very proud of the performance that we gave throughout the whole weekend," UK head coach Harry Mullins said. "The match was so close, all the way to the finish with it being decided in the last air rifle relay by some great shooters."
Junior Emily Holsopple opened the day off for Kentucky with a solid 587 in the first relay. Senior Heather Greathouse and junior Aaron Holsopple also shot in the first relay. Greathouse contributed to the team score with a 586 while Aaron Holsopple shot a 581.
The Wildcats were led in the second air rifle relay by senior Henri Junghänel and freshman Connor Davis. Junghänel shot a 590, the seventh best individual score of the day, while Davis led Kentucky with a 592, the third-best score the day. After the individual air rifle final, Davis placed fourth at his first NCAA Championship appearance.
West Virginia took first place in air rifle with a 2363, and claimed the overall title with an aggregate score of 4679. Defending champion TCU rounded out the top three, shooting a 2347 on Saturday to finish the championships with an aggregate score of 4664.
"All the coaches that finished in the top three can say we left points on the board because all three of us have broken 4700 this year," Mullins said. "I think being able to medal is honorable in itself. It demonstrates the parity in college rifle."
On Friday, Junghänel battled individual aggregate champion Petra Zublasing in the smallbore finals, falling by .5 points to claim the silver medal.
Junior Emily Holsopple opened Friday for Kentucky in the first relay, shooting a 576. Senior Heather Greathouse and junior Aaron Holsopple followed in the second relay, with Greathouse posting a 572 and Aaron Holsopple shooting a 574 to contribute to the team score. Along with Junghänel, freshman Connor Davis represented the Wildcats in the third relay, delivering a 576.
Senior Stacy Wheatley and sophomore Elijah Ellis were two of four to compete as individuals in smallbore at the championships. Wheatley shot a 571 in the first relay on Friday, while Ellis posted a 575.
TCU won the smallbore team title, shooting a 2317.
This is the Wildcats' second consecutive runner-up finish since winning the title in 2011. In 2012, the Wildcats finished 15 points off champion TCU.
The championships conclude Kentucky's successful season, which includes a Great America Rifle Conference regular season championship and a second-place finish at the GARC Championships.
The season also included a record-setting win over Army, a match in which Kentucky broke the program records for total aggregate score (4716), aggregate smallbore (2348), individual aggregate score (Henri Junghänel – 1186) and individual smallbore (Junghänel – 592).
"I'm proud of our team this year," Mullins said. "I thought we had a great body of work. We only had one regular season loss. I'm disappointed for the kids a little bit because they obviously worked hard and didn't achieve the end goal but part of our end goal was to leave nothing on the range and that's what they did."

LABOR DAY: AAA Expects Worst Traffic in 6 Years
LABOR DAY: AAA Expects Worst Traffic in 6 Years
If you have plans for a road trip Labor Day weekend, you're might want to reconsider your departure and return dates. According to Triple A, this year's Labor Day traffic will be the worst in six years.
Gas prices are the lowest they've been since 2010, and people are starting to spend a little more money as the economy slowly recovers. That means Americans are taking to the highways for a much-needed and long-awaited vacation.
AAA estimates 34.7 million Americans will load up their cars and travel at least 50 miles from home this Labor Day weekend. That means you might want to leave Thursday and come back Sunday ... or you will be sitting in traffic all day Monday. And who wants to spend their day off doing that?! (Today)

Does everyone really have one? They certainly have access. Of kids under the age of 2, 43 percent watch television every day. Two-thirds of children under 6 watch two hours of television (or DVDs) a day. At 8 years old, that figure jumps to four hours. Sixty-six percent of kids 8 and up have TVs in their rooms.
What age to start: Most doctors say no TV before age 2, when brains are rapidly developing and need interactive play. "It won't do harm, but there's no evidence they learn anything," says Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital, in Boston. By ages 3 to 5, they do; cue Sesame Street.
As they grow up: There are few educational programs for school-age kids (it's pretty much all Hannah Montana), so treat television like dessert. "Only after homework and family meals," says Rich. As for kids watching adult shows with you? The only benefit is if it sparks a talk on sex or violence that you otherwise might skip.
Causes for concern: Aside from the obvious (bedroom scenes, knife fights), commercials are problematic. Exposure to food ads is a culprit in the connection between screen time and obesity. "You don't see ads for broccoli," says Rich. Watching commercials on fast-forward still counts, so use the skip function on TiVo or stick to videos that are ad-free.

Employee vs. 1099
Aviation businesses don't have discretion when determining whether workers are employees or independent contractors. There are a variety of federal and state laws establishing tests and criteria for making that determination. Getting the classification wrong can be costly. This webinar will provide a general overview of the laws and tests that are used to determine whether a worker is an independent contractor or employee.
Join us for this free webinar on Wednesday, November 13 at 8:00 PM EST with guest presenter, Ray Speciale, a pilot, lawyer and CPA.

Beginning in October, Amazon (AMZN) will launch Kindle MatchBook, a program offering readers the ability to purchase Kindle e-books for a reduced price if they previously bought the paper book from Amazon.com.
For consumers, that may mean re-purchasing a book you bought years ago, but the benefit is that is will be for a less expensive price than for the full e-book charge.
Cost for the digital version ranges from free to between $0.99 to $2.99.
"If you logged onto your CompuServe account during the Clinton administration and bought a book like 'Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus' from Amazon, Kindle MatchBook now makes it possible for that purchase — 18 years later — to be added to your Kindle library at a very low cost," Russ Grandinetti, Vice President of Kindle Content, said in a statement.
More than 10,000 copies become available when the program starts in October.
The program is set to launch around the same time as the release of the new Kindle. Already, the price for Kindles already on the market are being reduced in anticipation of the updated version.

"Trey Cochran-Gill was outstanding tonight," Pawlowski said. "He was in command the whole night. He threw three pitches for strikes and had the best slider that he's had. His fastball command was outstanding. I thought he was the difference."
The story of the night for the Tigers was the pitching of Cochran-Gill. In his second career start the freshman from Tallassee allowed one run on three hits in seven innings and struck out six. He said it was a good night for him as he got in a groove on the mound.
"Going out there I felt pretty good," Cochran-Gill said. "All three of my pitches were working for the most part tonight. I had solid defense behind me and the offense played well. Overall it was a pretty good game."
At the plate Cooper's three-double night was the first for an Auburn player since Josh Donaldson had three against Kentucky in 2006. Dan Glevenyak and Creede Simpson both added three hits each as well.
Creede Simpson rounds third and heads for the plate in the win
While the offense scored seven runs on 14 hits, it wasn't a perfect night for the Tigers at the plate as they had 15 fly ball outs in the win. That's something that Pawlowski said has to change for his team to be successful, but it worked out against Alabama A&M.
"I told our team that we did what we needed to do, but obviously it wasn't our most efficient game," Pawlowski said. "There were some times when we had a man on third and less than two outs and we couldn't get guys in. The result was what we wanted, but I didn't think it was our most efficient game."
Auburn wasted no time in getting things going offensively against the Bulldogs (8-32) Wednesday night as Bobby Andrews walked with one out to bring Ryan Tella to the plate. Getting a pitch to drive the sophomore lifted it out towards right field and over the K Corner for his third home run of the season. Back-to-back doubles by Garrett Cooper and Cullen Wacker made it 3-0 Tigers after one inning of play.
With Cochran-Gill settling in on the mound Auburn added to its lead in the third inning. A Wacker single and a sacrifice bunt by Justin Bryant put a runner in scoring position with one out for Creede Simpson. The senior delivered with a single to center field for the four-run Auburn lead and moved to second on the throw to the plate.
That proved to be big as Jay Gonzalez singled to score Simpson from second to make it 5-0 Tigers. With two outs Gonzalez stole second to move into scoring position and Dan Glevenyak drove him home with a double to left field.
Staked to a six-run lead, Cochran-Gill held the Bulldogs hitless through seven innings to allow his offense to add to the lead. Leading off the bottom of the seventh inning, Bryant tripled to left field for his first three-bagger of the year. For the second time on the night a Simpson single would score Bryant and give Auburn a seven-run lead with two innings left.
Giving up a leadoff double in the top of the eighth to Dylan Johnson, Cochran-Gill's night would come to an end as senior Zach Blatt came on in relief. Getting a strikeout, but throwing a wild pitch in the process, Blatt allowed the run to score to break up the shutout. He finished off the inning and got the first two outs in the ninth before Bryant finished the game off on the mound.
Auburn will return to action this weekend as the Tigers face South Carolina in a three-game series at Plainsman Park.

Perhaps no Prince of Wales in history has been less trusted — or more spied upon — than the boy everyone knew as Bertie. When he attended a military summer camp, at age 19, the future King Edward VII was surrounded by minders: two stern Grenadier officers, a colonel and a general. He even had to share a general's quarters.
Happily, however, they had not thought to lock Bertie's bedroom window. So, one night, the heir to the throne wriggled out, made a beeline for the camp prostitute — one Nellie Clifden — and triumphantly lost his virginity.
Moreover, as I discovered from his engagement diary for September 1861, there was a '2nd time' and a '3rd time' with the luscious 'NC', proving he lacked in neither courage or enthusiasm.
Letters released by the Palace reveal how Edward VII was driven to a life of debauchery

ISSN 1759-2836 (online)
by Andrej Živanić
It's the middle of WWII and Ian Fleming (the future James Bond creator), is working for MI6 on the tail of a man in Lisbon. The target is a double agent whom MI6 have just given $50,000 cash to. Fleming follows the man out of the lobby of the Palacio Hotel accross to a Casino.
Fleming shadows him from table to table until he stops at a game where a Lithuanian is holding the bank. The Lithuanian announces "Banque Ouvert" (no limit). Dipping his hand into his breast pocket the man extracts $50,000 dollars and starts to count it on the table. The whole casino stutters to silence.
Fleming, watching, spits out his drink as his face turns green. The Lithuanian squirms in embarrassment. Cool as a cucumber the man with the money tells the chief croupier "I suppose the casino is backing this man's bet since you didn't object to his Banque Ouverte". "The casino never backs a players stake" is the Croupier's shy response. Pretending irritation the man with the cash, says "I'm sure you will call this to the attention of management and that in future such irresponsible calls of Banque Ouverte will be prohibited. It's a disgrace and annoyance to all the serious players." As the man who just flashed $50,000 cash in a wartime casino turns to see his Shadow out of the corner of his eye, he sees a look of amusement on Fleming's face. From that moment on Fleming trusted his fellow agent and never followed him again.
Little surprise then when Ian Fleming sat down after the war to write his first James Bond novel that it would be Casino Royale.
This is a snaphot of Serb, Duško Popov, the real life agent that inspired Fleming's fictional spy. Popov was a WWII spy and counterspy. Originally recruited by the German Secret Service "The Awebhr", he also worked for MI6. The man who fed the British information about Nazi Operation Sea Lion, helped thwart the German invasion of Britain, the first man to know and warn about Japan's plans to attack Pearl Harbour, who had run-ins with the Americans, especially FBI boss J Edgar Hoover and to whom the British awarded an OBE.
Getting out of a Nazi situation
Popov's story begins in 1936. Like many ambitious men in the Balkans he wanted to be fluent in German in order to get on in life. He already spoke Serbian, English and French, and so enrolled on a course in the German town of Freiburgs.
Whilst studying in Freiburgs Popov met German, Johnny Jebsen who became like a brother to him. They both shared a dislike for the Nazis and a love for the "popsies" (ladies), and yet every Friday when the Nazis would put on a lavish dinner for all the foreign students after the debates, everyone was in agreement with the Nazis' views.
Both men were highly intelligent and sharp-witted and after they discovered that the Nazi students were winning all the debates because they had preknowledge of the topics they too availed themselves of the same information and for the next few months the Nazis didn't win a single debate. Using his photographic memory and natural charm Duško ran rings around the Nazi arguments and he and Johnny would brag about their exploits all over town. Very soon Popov catches the eye of the Gestapo.
Shaken, but not Serbed
The Gestapo arrest Popov on suspision of being a communist. Over several days and nights they interogate him. Popov's wit and humour do not desert him but unknown to him many of his friends are arrested and questioned also, and all but Jebsen turn on him and tell the Nazis what they want to hear.
Jebsen realises the seriousness of the situation and contacts Popov's father (a major industrialist in Yugoslavia) who then calls Yugoslav Prime Minister Dr Stojadinović who immediately phones Goering. Popov is released and is given 24 hours to leave Germany. His contacts and Jebsen save Popov from the death camps and he appreciates his debt to Jebsen.
WWII commences
In 1939 a fateful meeting with Jebsen at the Serbian King Hotel in Belgrade in then neutral Yugoslavia transform Popov from a charming, witty and intelligent playboy into Agent Code named Tricycle.
"We're preparing a report on the most suitable French politicians to contact when France falls", said a casual Jebsen to Popov. Johnny had decided he didn't want to be cannon fodder in the German army so using his contacts had got into the Awebhr. Jebsen had found where he best fitted and was sounding out Popov. Popov felt it was innocent enough for him to get these names as he had contacts and besides that he had an idea of his own, one that involved the British Embassy in Belgrade.
Life on the line... shaken not Serbed the second time
The information that Popov began to provide to the Germans and the British proved extremely accurate, however soon once again his life was to be put in danger.
"Your chauffeur Božidar is selling you out for a lousy 2000 dinars", Johnny yells at Popov bursting into his room. "The Awebhr just instructed me to pay him 2000 Dinars and Božidar has just given me his report." The Awebhr had put Božidar on their payroll to check on Popov's movements.
There are no problems with the report... except for the five visits Dusko made to the British Embassy in Belgrade.
"You should know the Nazis by now, Duško, if they suspect the slightest thing, you're marked for the chopping block, and they'll come for your family later, even if I change this report before sending it, the Awebhr will speak with Božidar".
The next day Božidar is shot dead, allegedly pillaging at a railroad yard. The amended report is sent to Berlin and the Awebhr are now more sure of Duško. His first overseas mission as Awebhr agent is set for Rome.
Scotch, Johnny
and Operation Sea Lion
Duško meets up with Johnny in Rome. They both elect to drink Scotch, given that Popov would be in London soon and needs to develop a taste for it. Jebsen gives Duško the inside track on how internal arguing between the Luftwaffe, army and navy mean that there are not enough German resources to invade Britain – the Germans have 2500 barges, motorised boats and 150 ships – but nowhere near what Haider, head of the army needs to transport all his troops. Popov knows this will be invaluable information for the British. The proposed British land invasion by Germany was code named Operation Sea Lion and was due to take place on 30 January.
A woman will pass and wink at you, follow her....
"I hope she's Pretty"
After arriving in Lisbon from Rome, Popov is told to window shop. It isn't long before an attractive blonde gives Duško a very friendly wink – he follows her to an Opal Sedan. They get in and after a few blocks, the car stops. The woman gets out and the car continues. As the car approaches an Awebhr meeting house the chauffeur instructs Popov to crouch down. The house may be watched. The car goes into the garage, and they both walk through the garage into the house. Duško meets Von Karsthoff a top ranking Awebhr officer.
After getting another grilling Duško is given instructions on what information he must collect from London... army locations, and importantly public morale. The blitz bombing had just started.
Upon landing at Bristol an MI6 chauffeur meets him and drives him into the Savoy Hotel, London. Duško is impressed – he can come and go as he pleases but for the first few days he is interrogated by all manner of MI6 officials – for all they knew perhaps he is a real Awebhr agent.
When it comes to telling them about the German problems with Operation Sea Lion – MI6 are genuinely surprised, it is the first time they hear about the internal squabbles between the German forces – they find it hard to believe that Germany will not try to invade Britain. Popov is grilled about this but compared to his Gestapo questioning some years earlier; he actually enjoys the episode. January 30th comes and goes. There is no invasion and Duško is proved right.
Character assassination by C
The head of MI6 was Major General Stewart Menzies, known as "C" and reports directly to Churchill. C spends several days with Popov after which he deliveres a no-nonsense character assassination, when the two are alone together for the first time:-
"You are honest, but without scruples. Your instincts and intuitions are stronger than your intelligence, which is way above average. Your conscience never bothers you. You are ambitious and ruthless and you can be cruel, although in an animal and not a sick way. When you are frightened you don't panic. Danger is a stimulant for you".
And looking straight into Popov's eyes, Menzies continued :-
" You have too many things on your banner for my taste.... but... for your job as spy and counterspy that is ideal." Popov looked relieved.
"Oh but one thing, you don't like following orders, you better learn to otherwise you will be a very dead spy."
So that is their first meeting, direct and blunt. After the war Popov would become godfather to one of Stewart's grand children.
The Daily Mail,
the Champagne Cork.
Be a Good Girl Now!
Upon his return to Lisbon Popov reports to his Awebhr handlers that Britain's morale is low and it is only a matter of time before the British will sue for peace.
Relaxing one night in a club with a new lady friend, Popov notices he is being watched. He decides to create a diversion to lose his tail. There is an awful lady singer on stage who seems to be with a table of reporters from the Daily Mail.
Dusko pays a waiter to present the singer with a Champagne cork in full view of everyone. Indignant the singer stamps her way towards Duško's lady friend; She is about to pour her drink over her, when Popov grabs her arm, turns her round points her to her table, pats her on her rump and sends her on her way saying "Be a good girl now". The Daily Mail table starts a fight and Duško with his lady friend leaves during the confusion. The tail is lost.
Von Karsthoff's question
It's April 1941 – Duško had been growing in the eyes of both his German and British handlers – he was certainly now Germany's top agent, however disaster loomed.
In Yugoslavia a coup d'etat by Yugoslav Army officers deposes Prince Paul. Hitler in a blind rage postpones the invasion of Russia and starts Operation Punishment, which includes 12 days of non-stop bombing of Belgrade.
At a bullfight in Spain, a man sitting behind Popov in the crowd jeers at a poor dying bull - "He's collapsing like Yugoslavia" – Popov immediately spins around and punches him in the face.
This was the moment Popov had been dreading – his country is no longer neutral and he is summoned to Portugal for a crunch meeting with Von Karsthoff.
Von Karsthoff looks him straight in the eyes and asks... Duško, are you a Serb or are you a Croat?
It is the question Duško has been dreading.. if he answers Serb he will be killed, if he answers Croat, then it won't be long before the Germans work out that no one with the name Popov could be a Croat, no Popov would be with the Ustaše for sure.. and yet answer the question he must; the fate of not only his own life but also the course of the war could depend on it.
To be continued…

Grant Wood
Plowing on Sunday
Grant Wood
American, 1891-1942
Plowing on Sunday, 1933 or 1934
Conté crayon, ink, and gouache on brown paper
Image: 45.7 x 43.5 cm (18 x 17 1/8 inches)
Gift of Mrs. Murray S. Danforth 38.015
Grant Wood is one of the most prominent artists associated with American Regionalist art. Wood was born, lived, and died in Iowa, and his works are stylized portrayals of its rural life. RISD's drawing shows a farmer of the 1930s and was used as the book jacket for the 1934 edition of Sterling North's novel, Plowing on Sunday. Wood's close-up of the head and shoulders makes the subject seem monumental, in keeping with the presence of the story's main character. Wood repeated the figure full-length in a mural for the Parks Library at Iowa State University. The mural, entitled Breaking the Prairie Sod (1935-1937), features a farmer of the 1840s, when Iowa became a state.

text: Hello everyone, I would like to share with you my story so that some of you will be able to learn from my mistakes. I have always wanted to be a pilot my entire life. When my senior year of high school came around, I wanted to go to college to earn all of my licenses and ratings as well as a degree in aviation. I figured going to a reputable school and doing my training there would guarantee me a job upon graduation. Currently, I am a freshman at Purdue. I was admitted into Professional Flight Technology for the Fall of 2009. I went to my first day of classes, and that's when I knew that I was taking the wrong path to fullfill my career goals. I didn't like my flight instructor, and I found it quite amusing that I have a friend who was actually more qualified of an instructor than her. That being said, I changed majors after one day of being here. This is my advice to everyone who wants to do aviation in college. Don't do it. Airlines want their pilots to have a degree. Just a degree; it does not matter what this degree is in. Having a degree in aviation will not give you a competitive edge in the hiring process. The money university run programs charge is much greater than the flight costs you will pay at an FBO. For example, paying out-of-state tuition, it was going to cost be nearly 160K for a degree in aviation from Purdue. This means you pay all that money just to earn your licenses. Somebody who did all their flight training separate from their education will have a college degree in some other field as well as have the same licenses and ratings as you. Thus, you are spending a lot of money for a degree that doesn't give you much of a competitive edge at all. A degree in aviation is useless if a pilot cannot pass a medical. For example, I could have been walking down the graduation stage here at Purdue, tripped, and smashed my head, causing me to fail my medical. Then I just would have spent four years and 160K on a degree that now prohibits me from flying. Now what do you do? The market for the aviation industry is dead right now. I'm not saying it won't ever recover, but what is the point in spending all that money to realize you won't be hired. These are just some thoughts now, and I strongly encourage anyone who is considering getting a degree in aviation to rethink it. Doing all of your flight training apart from your college education will be the best way to prepare yourself for life. If anyone has any questions please contact me.

Can someone please help look at this page and figure our why it isn't works right in Internet Explorer? It looks fine in Chrome but in IE the images height is not right, only show as a line. Thanks in advance.
I would guess the problem is height="auto"
line 124 column 22 - Warning: <img> attribute "height" has invalid value "auto"
I would agree with Rubble. Check your height and width attributes and make sure they are specific. Other browsers can handle it on the fly, IE needs very specific instructions or it will not display the image.
Thanks Rubble and Shawn. It's works now.
