biography on Sacajawea
Sacagawea was born 1788 in Lemhi County, Idaho and died on 1812 in Kenel, South Dakota. She was the daughter of the Shoshone chief and was an interpreter for them. Around 12 Sacagawea was captured by Hidatsa Indians who were an enemy of the Shoshones. She was sold to the french Canadian trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau and became his wife. They lived with the Hidatsa and Mandan Indians in the upper part of the Missouri river which is now a days known as North Dakota . Sacajawea's life was pretty much a mystery but she was known for something big. In November 1804 she joined along with the expedition of lewis and clark. Along their journey she became their guide showing leading them around their way. \

The alien and sedition act were admitted in 1798 by president John Adams. They were four bills that were past by the federalist in the fifth united states congress. It was the result of the French Revolution and during an undeclared navel war with France later known as the Quasi-War. The laws admitted by the federalist were to tighten laws and keep security tight. People argued that it was an attempt to suppress voters who disagreed with the Federalist party. The Sedition Act and the Alien Friends Act were allowed to expire in 1800 and 1801.

Baked French Toast With Pecans
Recipe by CulinaryQueen
This dish is assembled a day ahead so the buttery sauce can soak into the bread. From Bon Appetit.
Top Review by davies
Compared to other baked French toast recipes, this one only ranks two stars. With the pecans and sauce on the bottom, the pecans come out very soggy and unappetizing. Although I haven't tried this alternative yet, I suggest soaking the bread overnight without the pecans and sauce, and then pouring the sauce and sprinkling the pecans over top before cooking.

Hello community. Can anyone explain to me how I can cancel the administrator (one I never set) and later deselect the proxy settings in the LAN settings, in order to get connection to the internet?

So you want to know how to hack the admin account so you can unselect the proxy setting on your network settings so you can browse the net without your company's IT staff watching you?
If that is not what you are asking, can you please re-word what you are asking.
Sep 9, 2013 at 10:59 UTC
what sounds like you are asking is against the law, and against your company policy and most likely will get you fired.

No, I am not up to no good, and no IT is not watching me. This is my personal computer at home.

Who is this person and why would you want to see her? Dr Oppenheimer has no capacity for empathy and only seemed to care about getting me out of her office as soon as possible. Stay away

After what seemed like just 5 minutes into my first ever visit with her, she was prescribing a medication with nary any questions. Seriously. I was stunned. I felt she might not have cared less about me. I almost felt embarrassed for her deficiency. Just my opinion, my experience, but there you have it.

Best doc I've seen...
I have chronic health issues, and am overweight. I don't know what I would do without Dr. Oppenheimer. She has NEVER made me feel poorly about my weight and she knows that it's a struggle for me. She listens to me, she follows up on everything. I have seen her for 5 years now, and would be lost without her. She is professional, knowledgeable, and has helped more than I can even put into words. She is not warm and fuzzy, but I can tell without a doubt that she cares, she listens, and is intuitive.

Oppenheimer's bomb
She was dismissive of my health issue and had no interest in treating it. Questions were rebuffed and she was rude. Highly unprofessional, even in light of pre-diagnosis.

Completely misdiagnosed my husband who had textbook symptoms and had been seeing her for five years. Did not follow up on emergency test results. Did not call or come to hospital where we went in desperation after she failed to communicate, and where he ended up dying.

Had pre-conceived ideas about my 'problems' and would rather prescribe more drugs to me than listen to what I had to say. I would not recommend seeing Dr. Oppenheimer if you are even slightly overweight or have any medical condition that you may need help with. Her bias is very clear against overweight individuals or if you have any apprehension with doctors in general. She will not listen to you and help you with a solution -- but she is more than willing to prescribe the medication she "thinks" will be able to help, and then recommend that you come back to her if you feel worse. Not helpful or caring at all.

Excellent Internist
She is extremely knowledgeable and analytical, listens to and processes information quickly. She is direct and straightforward in her communication and gave me her undivided attention. She is not "warm and fuzzy" -- I don't need that in my doctor. She is very bright and was able to give me good information and recommendations on a wide variety of medical issues -- that's what I need in a doctor.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
SD-WY final stat book | Wyo VB Season Stats
The Wyoming volleyball team (12-4, 1-2 MW) notched its first Mountain West conference win with a four-set victory (25-27, 25-20, 25-13, 25-20) over the San Diego State Aztecs (5-7, 1-1 MW) on Thursday night in Laramie.
Junior Bridget Shanahan recorded a match-high 14 kills plus two blocks and a .270 (14-4-37) hitting percentage on the night. Laura Beach and Erin Kirby each tallied nine kills while Beach finished with a match high seven blocks. Libero Allison Waldvogel recorded a career high 21 digs while Lily Austin and Kayla Slofkiss added 12 and 11 digs respectively. The Cowgirls hit .201 (48-20-139) on the night and out blocked the Aztecs, 13-6.5.
San Diego State was led by Halle Aiken and Ciara Brown with 13 kills each, while Brown hit .393 (13-2-28) on the night. Three players recorded double-figures in digs led by Alexa Saba with 18. The Aztecs hit .090 (53-38-167) for the match.
"I think we tried to stay somewhat relaxed after falling in that first set," head coach Chad Callihan said. "We've been frantic and so easily rattled the last couple of matches with our play. Even though we weren't playing well we tried to not let it get away from us and stay in control of our emotions. I thought the team did a good job of that and started to play. It was nice to see that despite not playing the best volleyball.
"For us, we feel our offense is pretty good. Blocking and defensive intensity in any sport is the way to change momentum. We didn't think it was good in the first set. After that, we came out much more motivated. The block is a very emotional part of the game and it frustrated San Diego State a bit which pushed them into some unforced errors."
San Diego State scored the first two points of the match which was answered with three straight by the Cowgirls to give them a 3-2 advantage. The Aztecs tied it up on the next side out and the two teams traded scores. With the score 6-5 in favor of SDSU, Wyoming ran off the next seven of nine to pull ahead by four, 12-8. A kill by Brown ended the scoring run and another point brought the Aztecs to within two, 12-10. UW responded with a 4-1 run to regain a five-point advantage, 16-11. San Diego State chipped away at the deficit and pulled to within one, 18-17. Two straight attack errors gave the Cowgirls a 20-17 lead, but the Aztecs rallied with five of six points to give them a 22-21 lead. After SDSU earned set point, 24-23, the Cowgirls held off three but not the fourth falling 27-25 in the first set.
In the second set, the Aztecs went up with the early 4-2 lead. Wyoming evened it up at six all, but two points from San Diego State made it 8-6. A service error and kill made it eight all, but the Cowgirls couldn't seem to gain any momentum. With the score 11-9 in favor of SDSU, Wyoming went on a 7-2 run to give it a 16-13 advantage. Out of an Aztec timeout, San Diego State earned the next point, but the Cowgirls scored four of the next six to maintain a 20-15 lead. Four points from SDSU closed the gap to one, 20-19. UW maintained their composure and closed the set on a 5-1 run to win set two, 25-20.
San Diego State went up early in the third set, 3-1, which was answered by a 5-0 Cowgirl run to give them a 6-3 lead. A kill by Danielle Bolden got the Aztecs back in the scoring column, but Wyoming built its advantage to six, 11-5. San Diego State scored three of the next four to close the gap to four, 12-8. The Cowgirls responded with an 8-3 run to pull ahead, 20-11, and went on to win the set 25-13 to take a 2-1 lead in the match.
The momentum shifted to the Wyoming side as it scored six of the first eight points to give them a 6-2 lead. A kill from Aiken gave the Aztecs their third point of the set and the scoring would go back and forth. With it 9-5 in favor of UW, San Diego State scored three of the next four to close the gap to two, 10-8. The Cowgirls answered with a 5-2 run to regain a five point lead, 15-10. The Aztecs battled back to even up the score at 16 all. A kill by Shanahan stopped the SDSU run, but the Aztecs tied it up on the next side out. Wyoming closed out the set on an 8-2 run to win the set, 25-20, and the match 3-1.
The Cowgirls will finish up the week on Saturday against the UNLV Rebels. The match is slated for 2:00 p.m. MT in the UniWyo Sports Complex.

Are there dangers with parabolic solar cookers?
Re "Trainers should be prepared to counteract falsehoods that may be circulated about solar cookers, such as:... they can blind you"
It seems like there would be some possibility for that with parabolic solar cookers. I heard a story about a boy being blinded in the US by a parabolic solar cookers - I googled but can't confirm it.
I don't have experience with this. If someone is turning the parabola in strong sunlight (setting up, a child playing, someone fiddling with it), is there a strong beam that travels with it, or is it only strong if right in the focal point? In which case, the only way I could imagine someone being struck is by sticking their head where the cooking pot should be. Something I could imagine some small children doing (especially if you told them not to).
My inclination has been to say: "Use other forms of solar cookers, not parabolic ones." Over-cautious? What's the perspective of those with more experience?
(I ask because I was looking at Appropedia:Category:Parabolic solar cookers and wondered about caution notices.) --Chriswaterguy 02:46, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- Modern parabolic cookers like the SK14 and the BS-M1 Solar Cooker have a very short focal point (inside the dish) actually to make it very difficult for anyone to blind themselves. Tom Sponheim 18:26, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll link this conversation at Appropedia's Village Pump, and suggest that we make a Parabolic solar cooker safety page and link it from all relevant pages. --Chriswaterguy 14:33, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Data security and breach notification
Security obligations Are there specific security obligations that must be complied with? Section 43A refers to 'reasonable security practices and procedures', which have been defined as reasonable security practices and procedures as determined by a law in force (of which there is none) or as agreed to by the parties and, in the absence of both, the rules framed by the government (ie, the Privacy Rules). Accordingly, the parties are free to decide on the security standards to be adopted.
The Privacy Rules do not prescribe a particular security standard (although this is was what the rules were meant to do). Instead, they suggest that the International Standards Organisation/International Electrotechnical Commission 27001 or a code prescribed by an industry association and approved by the government can be used. Thus far, the government has approved no codes.
Breach notification Are data owners/processors required to notify individuals in the event of a breach? The IT Act or the Privacy Rules do not require data owners or processors to notify individuals in the event of a breach.
Are data owners/processors required to notify the regulator in the event of a breach? Under the IT Act and the rules thereunder, no obligation to notify the regulator of a breach exists. However, under the relevant banking regulations, India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, has prescribed that banks must notify it, the Computer Emergency Response Team or the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology of all security breaches.

Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today advised consumers to be wary of potential scams surrounding the upcoming deadline for filing taxes.
Specifically, the "Internal Revenue Service" phone scam involves a caller claiming to be from the IRS and that taxes are owed. The caller threatens arrest or deportation, unless the victim settles the debt using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer.
According to the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection, the IRS typically contacts citizens by mail about unpaid taxes and will not ask for payment with a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. They will never ask for a credit card number over the phone.
Consumers should not to reply to emails and hang up the phone if they are asked to pay IRS taxes. Attorney General Kane offered the following tips to help consumers avoid this tax-season scam:
• Keep tax paperwork in a secure location.
• Shred any documents that are no longer needed.
• If filing online, update firewall, antivirus and spyware software on your computer.
• Do not click on any links or open any attachments in suspicious emails.
• Do not leave tax documents in your mailbox.
• Hand deliver documents to the post office or a post office mailbox.
Consumers with questions or concerns about possible scams can contact the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection hotline at 1-800-441-2555. IRS scam emails should be forwarded to email@example.com.

I'm 26 years old and apparently I am an unattractive woman. I have been called horrendus by men and get blocked just for showing them a picture of my face :(
I never get approached and am never asked out. Men feel it is okay to use me. When I put the brakes on the using, then they get violent or upset. I'm worried I'll never have the opportunity to get married or have a family (both of which I really do want).
I'm a nice person, very understanding, caring, I have a ton of good qualities. I have been told I'm attractive. But it seems to be only a select few who feel that way and they either live too far away or are already attached to someone.
I'm trying really hard to meet people but I end up having to put in all the effort. Which I don't think is fair.
The only one who seems to want to be with me is my abusive ex boyfriend. But I don't want to go back to him.

Be an interesting and funny woman. Use ideas, words to express them, tell jokes. Every woman becomes attractive when a man gets interested.00|00|0

I am in a similar situation except no man wants any sort of relation with me they mock me upon sight. I have decided to give celibacy a try for some time (not like i really have a choice), if I like it then it will be permanent, maybe you should try it too.
Keep your mind focused on other things like progressing in your career, learning a new skill, go for long walks in the morning etc. Just keep your mind off this and over time you might learn to be satisfied with being single (from what I am experiencing it gets easy with time). Stay strong your worth is based off more than just looks.00|00|0

Mordekaiser exited Summoner's Rift, more preoccupied than he had felt in a long time. It was not because of the recent game; that had been a complete success. The Master of Metal had easily dominated his lane against the assassin mage LeBlanc, and had even gotten a few kills off their Nocturne as well. His allies, the zealous Demacian hero Garen and the vengeful Graves, had experienced similar success. The match had been over before he had been able to finish his Rylai's Crystal Scepter, a tool that he often utilized to cripple his foes before finishing them off with his deathly curse.
Normally, such victories were invigorating and made him feel especially powerful. There was nothing quite like seeing the fear and suffering in his enemies' eyes moments before he cursed one and, in a particularly sadistic twist of irony, forced that unfortunate soul to destroy his own allies. He could not keep his hold on that soul permanently, as that took too much energy and power for even him to supply, but 30 seconds was more than enough to suffice.
However, he did not feel such dark joy today. Instead, a brooding thought had re-emerged inside his head, stronger than ever, which had eliminated any happiness that could have been gained during the match. This thought had haunted him ever since the relocation of the Twisted Treeline to the Shadow Isles, but now stronger than ever. Ancient memories, memories that he had kept locked away, had been released by the two altars. He could not ignore them, for they were as much a part of him as he was part of the Shadow Isles. And today, he decided, he would confront those memories and the souls of the altars.
Mordekaiser stepped into the High Summoners' chambers. There, he found Coronach, the High Summoner who had been his guide to the League in the Master of Metal's first few days. The summoner smiled when he saw who he was.
"Ah, Mordekaiser! It has been a while since we last talked. How do you feel about the new Twisted Treeline?"
"It is…interesting. And I, for one, am glad that the Isles are finally getting the respect they deserve," the metal titan growled in response, but not in an unfriendly manner. Mordekaiser had always held Coronach in high regard because he, unlike so many other weak and foolish summoners, was not afraid to experiment with the magic of darkness and shadows. The high summoner was not a bad man by any standard, and was well respected and revered by all. It was just that Coronach had come to learn an important truth which only dark magic users could appreciate: that just as light magic was not necessarily good in all circumstances, neither was dark magic necessarily evil. It all depended on the mage in question, and Mordekaiser could think of few people who were as worthy to wield the raw dark magic as Coronach. "I have a request that I would like to make," Mordekaiser suddenly said.
"Oh? And what would that be?"
"I wish to visit the Twisted Treeline Field of Justice. Privately. There are certain matters that I must address there alone. No one else must disturb me."
"Hmm…an interesting request. While I see nothing wrong in that by itself, I know who you are, Mordekaiser. I trust that you will not attempt to cause chaos in the Shadow Isles?"
"You insult me, Coronach! I am many things, but I am no fool. However, my plans are central around me being able to communicate with the souls of the altars. I request permission to speak with them during my sojourn to the Twisted Treeline?"
"Very well. Granted," replied Coronach. "I will temporarily unlock the altars while you are there. But be warned…you may not fully release the spirits within."
Mordekaiser scoffed, "It would take power greater than mine to release those spirits."
Coronach nodded. "Very well then. Enjoy your journey."
The Master of Metal appeared at the base of the Twisted Treeline. He felt the familiar magical bindings wrap themselves around him, preventing him from reaching full potential. If he was at his full power, there was no stopping him. His curse, for example, not only drained health and soul but also left his victims completely immobile and weak, helpless to defend themselves. If only he had that power on the fields, but no matter.
He could already tell the differences between the Field of Justice when it was actively used and when it had been shut off. The ghoulish shopkeeper lay back in his stall in what looked to be sleep, the glow in his face gone. Similarly, the nexus and turrets had been dimmed to just a faint glow, signaling that the magic that powered them had been toned down for the night. "Of course," Mordekaiser thought, "it would be a colossal waste of magic to keep them powered all throughout the night. And contrary to popular belief, the dead do need rest."
He walked slowly towards the middle of the field, where he knew the two altars lay. As Coronach has promised, they had both been unlocked solely for him. Many would have expected him to approach the East Altar, where the entity known only as "the Lord" to the summoners was encased. It was well known, after all, that the Lord was very sympathetic to the champions of the Shadow Isles and, if he had things go his way, would make the entire world like that wretched place. But Mordekaiser was not interested in speaking with the Lord, at least not yet. Instead, he approached the altar closest to him, the one containing the Lady.
"Lady Liandry…" Mordekaiser hissed, "I have come to speak to you at last, alone and face to face."
Nothing happened for several seconds. Then, in response, the altar glowed brightly and a specter rose from within its depths. It turned to face the Master of Metal, revealing a beautiful but cold face of a lady who had seen and experienced far more than one ever should experience in one's life.
"Mordekaiser…" she said coldly, "what business do you have here? Was not the victory of the King satisfactory enough for you?"
"I owe my allegiance to none but the Shadow Isles, as you well know, Lady…" the titan replied evenly. "I hold no love or oath to the King, and serve him only as I see fit. Unlike Hecarim, I know what the King is and what his true intentions are."
"And yet you fought at his side during the War of the Shadows," shouted Lady Liandry. "Where were your powers, when we most needed them? Had you allied with us, we might have held out for longer and even be victorious! You abandoned, no, betrayed us, and that betrayal was our downfall."
"Enough!" Mordekaiser snarled, causing the lady to fall silent, though she still glared at him accusingly. "I fought on the King's side because I knew that, while your cause was noble, there was no way that it could have been won at that time. Even with my help, you would never have been able to defeat the King as powerful as he was back then. And I would remind you, my lady, that I had not sworn any allegiance to your side either back then, so you have no right whatsoever to lay the cause of your defeat on my head."
The titan lowered his voice to normal level. "I believed the King, when he first spoke his honeyed words. He had promised that the Shadow Isles would reach a glory beyond what any of us could ever foresee. He had promised that we would be the envy of every nation in Runeterra. That all the world would bow to us."
The glare from his red eyes had faded. "I was not the same as I am now. Perhaps not younger, but certainly more foolish back then. I should have known that what he truly promised was slavery of the Shadow Isles to his brutality and power. But by the time I realized this horrible reality, it was too late. The Shadow Isles were already plunged in a horrible war in which there was no escape, not even in death. Yet even if I had realized this, I could do nothing. He was too powerful back then for even me, the first of the undead, to stop. Had I resisted, I would have been destroyed."
The lady's gaze faltered, "But, if you are opposed to him now, why do you continue to serve him?"
"Why, to destroy him, of course," the dark one answered wryly. "The King, for all his supposed greatness, is a fool. Victory has made him weak. He believes that he has complete domination, so he spends no time expanding his power to make sure that he keeps his rule. At the same time, his enemies, including myself, have grown disgusted with his failures and used the millennia to strengthen ourselves for the sole purpose of toppling him from his throne. Thresh, the Chain Warden, has already begun to savor the time when he can bind the King to his power and drag him off into the Abyss."
"I do not approve of you associating yourself with Thresh, Mordekaiser. He is wild, brutal, and dangerous."
"But he is also a very powerful ally to have, and he will be most useful in taking down that fool of a King."
"If you can control him, then I will speak no more about it," the Lady sighed. "When the time comes, will you do what must be done?"
"I will do what I should and could have done an age ago had I the power to do so. I will tear that unworthy wretch who calls himself King down and bring the Shadow Isles back as it used to be, a land of peace for all the undead."
The Lady smiled sardonically, "With you at its head?"
The Master of Metal laughed mirthlessly. "Had I been younger, I would have taken a chance to subjugate the Shadow Isles without hesitation. But no longer. Now, I find such absolute leadership to be, frankly…tiring. Having to take care of every affair of the Shadow Isles, the trivial as well as the important, for all eternity, would drive me insane. Should the King fall, I will leave the ruling of the Shadow Isles in the hands of someone else who I know can do the job well."
Lady Liandry nodded. "I must apologize to you, Master of Metal."
He looked up at her in surprise. "And why is that?"
"I misjudged and hated you for all these years. I believed that you had betrayed everything you once stood for when you sided with the King. But now I see that, at your core, you have not changed from your beliefs. And I can place my trust in you once again to liberate the Isles from the King's rule."
Mordekaiser nodded. "I will not fail. The King has grown weaker, while his enemies, my allies, have grown stronger. When we meet once more on the battlefield, he will know this truth in the most painful way possible."
He laughed, though this time with genuine humor. "You were right to tell Hecarim that I cannot be trusted. That fool still believes the King's lies and will serve him to the end. However, the reason why he should not trust me…that is where the difference lies."
The Lady smiled. "Before you go...does...does the Lord still love me? I know that he sided with the King, that he stands for everything that I oppose, and that we fought on opposite sides during the war…and yet…I cannot forget him. I cannot forget his good despite his allegiances. I cannot stop loving him."
Mordekaiser placed a comforting hand on the spirit's shoulder. "He still loves you. When I cross the altar at times…I can hear him trying to remember you. The years have worn away his memory…but he has not stopped loving you even after now. Of this I am sure."
The titan lifted his mace. "And now, it is time for me to depart. Do not forget, Lady Liandry: I will fight on behalf of the Shadow Isles until the very end."
The Lady smiled. "I hold you to that oath," she answered, and with that, her soul descended into the altar, and was locked once again.
Mordekaiser then decided to turn to the East Altar. It would not do for the Lord to reveal his true intentions regarding the King of the Shadow Isles, for he was loyal to him to almost fanatical levels. However, they still had a friendly relationship, and it was only proper for Mordekaiser to call him forth, however briefly.
The Lord of the East Altar rose up, and turned to face the titan. "My Lord!" he exclaimed. "It is good to see you back in the Isles once again!"
Mordekaiser laughed. "At ease, Lord Hydra."
"Soon," Lord Hydra responded, "the Shadow Isles will rise once again! All of Runeterra will behold our might! We will become the envy of every nation, and death shall be the creed of all!"
"For the glory of the Shadow Isles!" Mordekaiser roared triumphantly, lifting his mace to the air. The two laughed for several minutes.
"When the time comes, my Lord," the Lord finally asked, "will you do what needs to be done?"
"It will be done. On this I swear," the Master of Metal responded. Satisfied, the Lord's soul shrank back into the altar, which promptly re-locked itself.
"But will your interpretation of what needs to be done be the same as mine?" he continued more quietly. "Only time will tell..."
"Mordekaiser! Mordekaiser!" The Lord of the Damned turned to see Teemo behind him.
"What do you want?" he growled.
"Coronach sent me to tell you that your time is up," Teemo chirped, "and that you're expected to-"
Teemo never finished his sentence, for suddenly the Master of Metal slammed his mace into him, zapped him with a Siphon, set him aflame with the powerful Ignite spell, and cursed his soul. If one could have seen Mordekaiser's face, they would have seen him smirk on it as he forced the newly formed Teemo ghost to imitate Twisted Fate's new dance. Such actions were highly frowned upon by the summoners, but since he had killed Teemo on a Field of Justice they were technically legal. Besides, it was a well-known but silent secret that everybody hated Teemo. He doubted that anybody would rebuke him for this; after all, he had done them a favor.
More importantly, Mordekaiser felt content in a way that he had not felt for a long time. Even locked in the altar, a specter of guilt had hung over the titan for centuries now, condemning him for not fighting against the King. Though he knew that his refusal to fight the then-powerful tyrant were well-justified, a part of him had still been ashamed of the cowardice that the Lady had just now forgiven. His conscience had been cleared by her, and his resolve strengthened. For the good of the Shadow Isles, he would help to overthrow the King who had brought about the Isles' ruin, and restore the Shadow Isles to its former glory. The Master of Metal stepped up to the teleportation platform to return to the Institute of War. He had work to do.

URI documentation
(Back to URIs, URI requirements, URI documentation protocol)
What should URI documentation look like, and what should it say?
URI documentation isn't just a pile of information; it is a pile of information that is supposed to tell you what the referent of the URI is. This may seem obvious, but there are many examples of "metadata" that don't answer this question, as even users of RDF are not all in the habit of thinking about this.
Deciding what is worth naming, what should be named, what one needs to name for a particular application and for purposes of interoperability, and then expressing what you mean are much harder than they sound. Although not necessarily the best way to do everything, the most effective tactic we know of for promoting interoperation is to adopt a realist philosophy and to situate all entities within BFO and, or course, relate to ontologies that are themselves situated in BFO. (TBD: write more, or cite help sources)
Most desirable RDF properties in documentation:
- rdfs:label - constitutes a highly abbreviated for of documentation
- rdfs:comment - put the best prose you have here, with examples
- rdf:type - bare minimum in the way of logically checkable assertions (TBD: what about classes/properties)
- rdfs:seeAlso - link to sources that talk about either the URI or its referent.
rdf:type is enormously important as a statement of what the referent is supposed to be, and therefore what one might meaningfully say about it. It helps to safeguard against deficiencies in other parts of the documentation. As rdf:type is understood by reasoners, the presence of an rdf:type property can enable the automatic detection of inconsistencies both in the documentation and in other statements that use the URI.
Intended relations between this URI's referent and other things are very useful, and usually they are included in the documentation. Some of these relations might be to other things whose URIs are documented in the same ontology as the given URI, but equally important are relations to things outside the URI's ontology.
Curation status - sometimes URIs need to be used or reviewed while they are still under development, or are intentionally temporary. The status should be indicated somehow (TBD: how?).
We do not encourage combining documentation for multiple URIs into a single document, as some writers on Semantic Web technologies promote. See Hash_URIs.
Documentation format
RDF/XML is ugly but as close to universal as one gets, so is probably the preferred form (see page RDF regarding Turtle).
A human-readable form should be placed in the value of a rdfs:comment property. An rdfs:comment is supposed to describe the URI's referent, and such a description will document the URI by specifying what it should denote.
When there are other documents (besides this URI documentation) that bear on the meaning or use of the URI, it should be referenced using (??) rdfs:seeAlso. In this situation we aren't so picky about what the referent of the target URI of a seeAlso is, as any help is better than none.
(TDB: Talk about use of GRDDL to generate human-readable form)
In early stages of development it may be easier to write human-readable documentation in HTML or XHTML than to write RDF. Certainly any documentation is better than none. We would prefer to have the HTML placed in a separate document, linked via a seeAlso (or better, a more specific predicate), even if the RDF consists only of that seeAlso link. The two documents can then be improved independently.
Future formats
We do not expect RDF to be the last word in knowledge representation formats, so if you adopt this technology keep in the back of your mind that we may need an upgrade path.
The documentation for http://purl.obofoundry.org/obo/OBI_0000225 found via the URI documentation protocol is a good example of orderly URI documentation.

Dunno, ever since the 80's I've noticed there's no reason to read the book if (unless you want to pick out the minor changes from a movie script) when if it's even remotely worth a crap someone will make it into a 2-6 hour movie anyway and probably a video game while they are at it. A lot quicker than spending a week reading the book. Hell even technical manuals and science books get turned into documentaries.00|00|0

My best friend and I chose a stylish apartment with a view of the city but it was rather expensive. We were both star athletes at our university and we had decided earlier in the year to move out of the college dorms. I was attached to the dorms because i had had the most erotic experiences there and that's where i was introduced to bisexual activities but it was a time for a change... Jake supported my idea of moving off campus and we did. We were given the opportunity of living in a beautiful apartment but for a higher than expected price. We had some time before the semester started so we decided to make money to continue living in it. So we started a fit guy landscaping business and we got popular fast.
I called Jake to the kitchen one morning to check out some girls at the park that our apartment had a perfect view on, he walked in with spandex that hugged his upper thighs and cock and he was shirtless. Jake was 6 feet, 150 lbs of muscle hunk with gorgeous dirty blonde hair and electric blue eyes. He said that they were alright and returned to his room leaving me in awe as his inflated squatter ass turned the corner. Jake and I had been roommates since freshman year and he introduced me to male on male action, he was the first guy that ever placed their lips on mine and so forth. We had sex occasionally whenever we had a strong desire for it but there was no pussy around. To be honest, i loved the way he moaned and how his muscular back tightened as our skin slammed against each other. I knew Jake wasn't getting any sex because we were putting all our mind set to the business and our nights consisted of clubs but we never brought anyone home.
I was taller than Jake by 2 inches but we had the same physique that some clients even thought we carried a family business. I didn't have blue eyes like Jake did, but our dirty blonde hair matched up like twins. After Jake's ignorance I made my way to my room and took off my shirt to exchange it for a tank that exposed my monster fore arms and some short shorts for any guys who were interested. I was feeling horny and I was having a deeper interest for more guy on guy action.
I made me way back to the window and spotted the sexiest man alive. He was a good 6 feet, bearded, and built like a rock. The man looked way older than Jake and I, but i was feeling aroused by his figure and looks. He was jogging across the street and he sat down to fiddle with his ipod, i reacted fast, grabbed a business card and jolted out the room. Hoping he would still be there, i felt my cock hardening from thinking about an older mans pounding my cheeks. I had to wait in the lobby as my boner died down, I caught a glimpse of him still sitting there and a smile came across my face. He was stylish, perfect comb over hair, brown beard, green eyes, as i got closer i knew he wasn't a hard core straight man, there was something about him. I pretended to be walking down the sidewalk and then i came up to him, i greeted him and he firmly shook my hand gazing into my eyes, or vice versa, i can't remember. I told him about our business and if he ever needed assistance we'd be glad to help. He gave me his number to call him to schedule an appointment and his deep sexy voice made me lose concentration. He was well on his way before i grabbed onto his huge bicep and pulled him back...
"I didn't catch your name sir" I stated.
"Roger... Mr. Roger if you must..." He winked at me and left jogging. I looked up to see Jake with a huge grin on his face. I knew Mr. Roger wasn't just alright for us, he was sexy.

I have been asked to do a Demo at a sugar art retreat this coming weekend. I have organised as to what I am going to demo, boxes and bows. Have any of the members any tips as to what and what not to do.
Not sure as how to start. "Hi my name is Jan and I would like to demo boxes and bows" sounds too stiff as I probably will be already introduced. It is a very laid back event and we have several demonstrators who are just the average cake decorator and it is for a week-end and it is like school camp sleeping in bunks but I think we are all a bit past midnight snacks, just more like who snored during the night. lol. Did do a trial with my local members and had a lot of laughs but they were rather distracting with all their comments and banter. Perhaps I could have the alcohol on the side (for mixing with colours of course! ) and even a sniff might relax me. The demo is for 1½hours and have tried at home to talk to the wall while doing it but then there are interruptions and everything goes out the window. Look forward to some tips thanks.
I di dmy first demo at our ICES DOS this past month. It was my first time doing anything like that in front of a bunch of people too. I was sooo nervous. The most important thing was to relax - I was on a stage and was thinking everyone was able to see every mistake I was making....in reality ~ afterwards they told me they could not see them at all! Make notes to keep on little cards so you don't forget any steps. And remember that they are all just really glad that you are there showing them a cool technique they don't know how to do! You'll do great!
Thank you Loucinda. Wow demo at Ices. I could never do that! I have just practised and hopefully eveything will fall into place. I have made everything so many times I think I could probably do it in my sleep but I know when the time comes I must not panic, keep calm and hopefully I will enjoy it. As you say they are really glad that you are showing them a cool technique they hopefully haven't done but I realise there will be the experienced ones who have done everything. But this is my way and there are many different ways everything can be done. Fingers crossed.
I used to give seminars on billing procedures, all over the US when I was working. It really is a lot of fun and I enjoyed teaching others. There are two tips I have for you. First of all, know your material. Be very comfortable with what you are going to demo. Make sure you know everything there is to know about it. The second tip is just to relax. Act like you are in your home talking naturally to a group of friends. Periodically ask if there are any questions. If it is a small group, try to get some interaction, it will make your demo go easier, if there are interested parties asking questions. Most of all, have fun Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Canada's unemployment rate rose and the number of private-sector jobs fell in July, reinforcing recent indications that the economy is losing momentum. Statistics Canada said that the jobless rate climbed to 7.6 percent in July from 7.5 percent in June. The private sector lost 12,000 jobs, but that was offset by the creation of 35,000 government positions. Economists are divided whether the Bank of Canada will raise interest rates when it reviews monetary policy on Sept. 4. So far this year, the central bank has moved its main overnight rate up three times, from 2 percent, to 2.75 percent. Bernard Simon (NYT)Continue reading the main story

The big news for vintage television fans—and classic film buffs as well—is that E1 Entertainment (the company responsible for the Studio One: Anthology collection released last November in tandem with the Archive of American Television) will bring the Emmy-winning NBC-TV anthology series The Barbara Stanwyck Show to DVD this October…October 13th, to be precise. Although this collection will, too, be a split-season release (Volume 1, containing 15 of the 36 episodes telecast) it will certainly be a welcome addition to the libraries of televised dramatic anthology fans and those who are fond of Babs as well. Stanwyck appeared in all but four of the telecasts (the remaining four served as pilots for series starring other actors that never got off the ground) and earned a trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actress in a Series; one of the shows in which she appeared ("The Miraculous Journey of 'Tadpole Chan'" [11-14-60]) was offered up as a pilot for a potential series, and while a mail-in campaign generated enough positive buzz for her character to appear in two follow-ups—"Dragon by the Tail" {01-30-61) and "Adventure on Happiness Street" {03-20-61)"—the series never really got off the drawing board. (Four years later, of course, Stanwyck would hit pay dirt with the hit TV western The Big Valley.)
One of my favorite childhood cartoon shows, Beany & Cecil, will see a second DVD release come this September 8th—ten years after a first volume was released by Image Entertainment (and which has been long discontinued, become a collector's item in the process)! Hen's Tooth Video is releasing Beany & Cecil: The Special Edition, Volume 2, and the disc will contain eleven classic cartoon adventures and a fistful of bonuses and extras. (I wouldn't have thought it possible after the overloaded Special Edition, Volume 1—but there you have it.) I was such a huge fan of this show as a sprout that I even had a Cecil-the-Sea-Sick-Serpent jack-in-the-box, and when I think what might have happened had I or my mother thought to have kept that…well, let's just say that people would be looking at me a lot different today. (As in, "What the hell is a forty-five-year-old man doing with a jack-in-the-box?")
As for the last item on our list, it technically doesn't fall into the category of classic or vintage television but since it borrowed so many of its conventions (particularly from George Burns and Jack Benny) I thought it was worthy of a heads-up to point you to the news that Shout! Factory will release the complete series run (1986-90, all seventy-two episodes) of It's Garry Shandling's Show. A series that started out on Showtime before receiving a larger audience via the fledgling Fox network (I hated watching this on Fox, by the way—they had to edit the program to stick in all those commercials) I fell in love with this sitcom the first time I saw it and at the risk of arousing the ire of Larry Sanders fans I always preferred Shandling's simply because I identified with it more (the episode that spoofs The Fugitive is still one of my all-time favorites of any television comedy)—an accurate depiction of my life had it been turned into a sitcom. I have a feeling the price tag on this baby is going to be astronomical (I may have to go back to mowing lawns) but I'll find someway to obtain it; who knows, in the time it takes me to get it I'll probably learn that they've edited the shows due to copyright restraints and won't want it any more.

If you or your child is a top-ranked player, tennis can become a very expensive sport, as you quickly tear through shoes, clothes, rackets and strings. Whether you're a pro or an amateur, gaining sponsorship helps alleviate some of the expenses associated with the life of a tournament player. Partial sponsorships provide products at a discount or less-than-wholesale rate, while full sponsorships provide all your tennis needs for free. Many companies have sponsor programs in place to promote their brand through professional representation and promotional opportunities, so they are happy to sponsor promising players.
Things You'll Need
- Tennis expertise
Determine the type of equipment you want to have sponsored. Sponsorships can include shoes, clothing and practice equipment from companies like Nike, Adidas, Yonex, Fila and many others. Racket companies like Prince, Wilson, Head and Yonex provide rackets, strings, grips and carry bags to promising athletes. You will probably want to accept equipment you feel confident competing with, but changing products may be worth it if you get them for free or at a preferred discount.
Compete and win as many tournaments as possible. Tennis product manufacturers will find you and present you with a sponsorship if you are proven to be a consistent champion in your age division. All manufacturers look at sponsorships as a promotional opportunity and on-court advertising, so it is in their best interest to sponsor only the best. Amateur players with a top ranking in their respected age division can expect to receive a partial or percentage discount from sponsors or if they are very dominant, a full sponsorship. Professional players usually receive a full sponsorship and in some cases also receive payments from the sponsors to use their equipment in tournaments. Most professional players have agents who will seek sponsorship opportunities. If you are not highly ranked, however, you will usually gain at least a percentage discount.
Show a winning attitude. The sponsored player reflects the image of the company, so it is important to be well behaved and show the attitude of a good sportsman. Achieving dominance in your age division and holding a top state or national ranking will almost guarantee either a full or partial sponsorship.
Make a tennis resume that includes your age group rankings and highlights of tournament wins: Be sure to include all national events, as these are the qualifications most companies require.
Make contact with manufacturers and corporations. The most important step is to present or sell yourself to the company by letting them know why you deserve to be represented. Each major manufacturer has a tennis department that deals with managing their respective athletes. Make a prioritized list of the companies you want to contact and call the general customer service number for the tennis department in your region. Ask the operator to transfer you to the person in charge of tennis sponsorships. Introduce yourself, or your child, and explain the reason you feel that sponsorship makes sense.
Tips & Warnings
- Ask friends and tennis coaches for advice for your area.
- Be patient and play with frequency and persistence.
- Avoid excessive or overpowering persuasion; if the company sees the benefit of your sponsorship, they will step forward.

Collagen vascular disease
Primary tabs
In a class of diseases known as autoimmune disorders, the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Some of these diseases are similar to each other such as arthritis and inflammation of arteries in the tissues. People who developed these disorders were previously said to have "connective tissue" or "collagen vascular" disease. We now have names for many of many specific conditions such as:
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Dermatomyositis
- Polyarteritis nodosa
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
When a specific disease cannot be diagnosed, more general terms may be used. These include as undifferentiated systemic rheumatic (connective tissue) diseases or overlap syndromes.
