LeftLane Sports Acquires Action Sports Flash Sales Retailer Seshday.comOutdoor Flash Sales Leader Makes Second Acquisition in 7 Months (April 03, 2012)
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/03/12 -- LeftLaneSports.com, the leading members-only flash sale site for Outdoor, Fitness, and Action Sports, announced that it acquired Seshday.com, the largest flash sale site catering to Action Sports enthusiasts. This is the second acquisition for LeftLane Sports in 7 months, the first being its September 2011 acquisition of 118Boardshop.com which is now integrated as a shop within LeftLane Sports. The company says that Seshday will continue to operate as an independent site focused on delivering core brands and products for Skate, Surf, Snow, Motocross, BMX, and Wake.
"LeftLane Sports is excited to welcome the Seshday crew into our team. They've built an incredible core audience, and LeftLane Sports is poised to take Seshday to the next level," said Erik Fialho, Chief Strategy Officer of LeftLane Sports.
LeftLane Sports, which has achieved unprecedented success in the space and grew by 850% in 2011, says that the acquisition solidifies their position as the top flash sale site in the Outdoor and Action Sports industry. "Now that we have consolidated the space, our members will have exclusive access to every major brand in the industry," continued Fialho.
LeftLane Sports declined to reveal the financial terms of the acquisition, but did state that they acquired 100% of Seshday assets and equity; and that Seshday founder Marcelo Bengoechea will remain as a member of LeftLane Sports' executive team focused on Seshday operations and the Action Sports category. "LeftLane Sports is the perfect partner because of their expertise in the space. Their team brings tremendous knowledge and experience to the table. That, combined with their superior technology, infrastructure, and incredible back-end operations will be invaluable as we aggressively focus on growing the business," said Bengoechea.
Seshday will continue to operate its Northern San Diego, Calif. office that will focus on buying and marketing, but much of the site's operations will be consolidated to the LeftLane Sports headquarters in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Seshday will also migrate onto the Auspient technology and infrastructure platform. Auspient is the leading ecommerce services provider whose expertise in the flash sale space has been instrumental in developing and launching scores of clients, including One Kings Lane, The Mini Social, Tightlinz, PlanetGear.com, and others. The Auspient proprietary ACE-BackOffice platform coupled with Auspient's end-to-end services such as distribution, fulfillment, call center, and site design and production will allow Seshday to scale quickly and efficiently as it has for LeftLane Sports.

Garden Grove firefighters and police officers have an appreciative fan club – the students, faculty and staff of Anderson Elementary School.
Two police officers and Garden Grove Fire Department Engine No. 7 received thanks and gifts during a special Flag Day assembly because of work they did to keep the school safe.
"The students and staff came together today to honor our local heroes, the men and women who embody the meaning of our flag," said Kevin Whitney, a teacher at Anderson and coordinator of the event.
"We thank them all for protecting and serving us on a daily basis and helping to ensure that we are safe to live our lives as free Americans."
Officers Thomas Capps and Richard Burillo helped clear the back portion of the school, near the KFC restaurant on Westminster Avenue, from transients and others who were intruding on Anderson – creating potentially unsafe situations, said Westminster School District spokeswoman Trish Montgomery.
Firefighter Mark Weisse and Engine No. 7, meanwhile, responded quickly to a recent fire in an apartment building adjacent to the school.
KFC employees also received recognition for working with the police.

Crusty's Water Bed Palace is where Procrustes lives.
Whenever someone comes into Procrustes's store, he claims to be selling water beds, but when they get on the water beds he says "Ergo!" and magic ropes spring from the bed to stretch them to six feet. If they are too tall, he will cut part of them off, too short and he will stretch their spine, killing them in the process.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Lightning Thief
Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood run into a shop to escape a gang of teens chasing them, and that shop happened to be Crusty's Water Bed Palace.There they met Procrustes, who goes by the name "Crusty." Annabeth and Grover get tricked into trying out water beds, and with a snap of Procrustes's fingers and the word Ergo!, Annabeth and Grover get trapped, but Percy manages to free them by tricking Procrustes, telling him how great they are and he should lay on his own bed. When he had finally done so, Percy yelled Ergo!, which caused ropes to spring up from the bed and keep Procrustes in place. Percy cut him with Riptide for "sizing" and Procrustes turned to dust. After looking up the address of the entrance to the Underworld, they left the store. It is unknown what happened to it since Procrustes was killed.
The Lightning Thief
A deleted scene was of their encounter here, but was completely omitted from the film and DVD.

Coming to MaxFund was a very different experience for me. I grew up wild, you see, and didn't know any humans before I started living here. The other cats told me that people can be pretty nice, bringing us food, water, warm bedding, cat treats, and even toys. Now, snacking is not really my thing but boy, do I ever love to play! Once I get to know a person I'll follow at arm's length, hoping for a nice game with a feather wand. I'll bet that I can tire you out long before you do the same to me! I guess that sharing my space with people might not be so bad after all.
Though I was independent for most of my life I think that I'd like a family of my own now, as long as they understand that going slow is the best way to win my trust. I'd prefer to live in a quiet house without too much commotion. Other nice cats are OK, but small children and dogs may not realize that a gentle lady such as me enjoys her peace and quiet. I may never be a lap cat who will cuddle up with you the moment you sit down, but I enjoy human company and can happily while away the hours sitting near you in companionable silence. I don't ask for much, just a snug bed, good food, and a romp with a fun toy. Do you think that you're the kind of patient person who could love me? I sure hope so!
The MaxFund is a TRUE no-kill shelter. There is no pre-sorting of animals into "adoptable" and "non-adoptable" categories, discarding the so-called "unadoptable." The MaxFund takes every animal it has the space for. EVERY animal is kept until its owner is found or it is placed in a new adoptive home.
We are located 2 blocks west of Speer between 11th and 10th , on Galapago St.
Dog Shelter Hours
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday:
Closed Tuesday
Saturday 11am until 5pm
Sunday 12noon until 5pm
Cat Shelter Hours
Same as the dog shelter except that during the weekdays instead of opening at 10 we open at 11am
May be closed on holidays.
Cats: $25
Kittens (under 12 months): $75
Dogs: $125
Puppies (under 6 months) $200
Dogs over 8 years: $75
All applicants will be asked to submit the names and phone numbers of 3 personal references (relatives don't count), the name and phone number of your veterinarian if you have one, the name and phone number of your landlord (if applicable) and information about your current living situation. We also require that all immediate family members meet the animal prior to adoption to ensure compatibility. We would hate to adopt an animal into a family and later find out the dog doesn't like the kids or the husband doesn't like the animal, etc. You can print out an application on our website at maxfund.org.
If you are interested in adopting a dog and have filled out an application, MaxFund will ask you to bring any currently owned dogs to the shelter for a "meet-and-greet" to ensure they can stand each other before they become a family. Because we examine adoption applications carefully and contact all references, same-day adoptions are extremely rare and should not be expected!
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to MaxFund No-Kill Animal Shelter.

NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

PvP Rules
From Dual Universe Wiki
Dual Universe is a single shard game where "Player versus Player" concept plays a big role. While players can battle each other almost everywhere (on a planet ground or in space), some areas are (and will remain) secure, free from any PvP activity. This has been decided to protect new players and those who want to focus their play time to non-PvP activities (like producing ships, buildings or crafting gear).The PvP (and possible but not confirmed PvE) Combat function alike arent different except from the fact that your enemy is in fact a player.

BLOG posts Located on Main Page
Hello Friends,
I am using a Child style.css for the Twentyten theme. The client needs to have their BLOG roll and Archive BLOG list on the main page.
However when you see the layout of the main page you will see that it is developed leaving space only in the bottom one third section. This is where the BLOG and Archive need to be located.
If anyone has an idea how I can place these two elements inside this section, I would be extremely grateful hearing from you.
Site URL: http://i-brand.ca/testsite/
The BLOG needs to sit on the left and the Archive list on the right. But they both need to fit into that lower page area where the empty blue section and the words, Page Content are.
Page width is 870px.
Many, thanks in advance. I really need to get this figured out, so I welcome all advice and your time as well!
Thank you,
[ Please do not bump, that's not permitted here. ]

The first artwork visitors will see upon entering the Louisiana Governor's Mansion is a mural that covers the foyer.
The mural was created by Auseklis Ozols, director of the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and was designed to represent the four corners of Louisiana.
"From the rice fields and rolling hills of North Louisiana to the cypress marsh and coastal areas of South Louisiana, Ozols sought to capture the majestic culture in Louisiana," the Governor's Mansion's informational brochure states. "In the mural, the artist embedded images symbolic of each governor who has resided in the Governor's Mansion, while also included images of some well-known Louisiana governors who did not reside at the mansion."
The Governor's Mansion Foundation commissioned Ozols for the project in 2000. He completed the mural in six months.
"He returns to add items to the mural," first lady Supriya Jindal said. "He came back to add some things after Gov. Blanco's administration, and he'll return after Bobby's. He doesn't tell anyone what he's going to add, it's left up to him."
Look closely at the mural when walking in, and you'll take in a big Louisiana history lesson.
Ozol's mural includes coastal Louisiana, farmland, majestic waterways, forestry and the crops of Louisiana, with symbolism woven within.

Tell us about your new release:
Michal: A Novel is the story of the life of King David's first wife.
Can their epic search for true love survive a father's fury?
The daughter of King Saul, Michal lives a life of privilege—but one that is haunted by her father's unpredictable moods and competition from her beautiful older sister. As a girl, Michal quickly falls for the handsome young harpist David. But soon after their romance begins, David must flee for his life, leaving Michal at her father's mercy in the prison that is King Saul's palace.
Will Michal ever be reunited with David? Or is she doomed to remain separated from him forever?
You can go to the book's website for book club questions, Bible study questions, and more.
How did you come up with this story? Was there a specific 'what if' moment?
My "what if" moment was more like a "why" moment. I co-taught a women's Bible study on David's life and when it ended I wanted more. I wanted to read a novel that would take me there. I searched high and low but could not find one that satisfied. So I set out to write the book I longed to read. The nagging question – "Why did David, a man after God's own heart, need so many wives?" The romantic in me begged an answer.
Did anything strange or funny happen while researching or writing your book?
Funny—sure. Now it's funny because I can laugh at my own naiveté. But there were times when I wondered if I'd made a big mistake.
When I began this novel journey, I knew nothing about writing fiction. My first attempt was a two-volume epic on David's life that garnered 28 rejections and a suggestion from an editor at Harper & Row to refocus the story on Michal. I turned her down! Of course, I had my reasons and they made sense to me at the time. Now I realize that God's timing wasn't then, but such an opportunity was something a more seasoned author might not have passed up. I was definitely not seasoned!
Sixteen years later I had written the book (it wouldn't leave me alone!) and that same editor, now at Revell, enthusiastically bought the series. The story had come full circle.
Every novelist has a journey. How long was your road to publication? How did you find out and what went through your mind?
My journey lasted 20 years and began with that two-volume epic on David's life. After 28 rejections, I packed that book away where it will remain! I really didn't know enough about the fiction writing craft, though I did rewrite that story at least three times. After tucking it in a box, I wrote about six more novels and a few novellas trying to break into publishing. Michal was one of those novels, as was its sequel Abigail, though they both went through a lot of revision.
How I found out? Well, that's a story in itself. My agent, Wendy Lawton, signed me for Michal in Feb. 2006. We both knew Michal would be a tough sell, and after over a year of shopping it around, she told me we would have to shelve the book for a while.
In the meantime, I'd written a suspense novel that she planned to promote at ICRS that summer (2007). In July, around the time of ICRS, I felt the intense urge to pray. I asked the Lord if He was ever going to use The Wives of King David series. I had loved the series for so long—had I wasted my time, nearly 20 years of my life? In my praying, I had this fantasy of an editor coming up to Wendy at a conference or ICRS and asking if she had any biblical fiction.
The next month I received an email from Wendy. Did she have the latest copy of Michal because Lonnie Hull Dupont at Revell wanted to see the full manuscript! Turns out, Wendy was at a conference in Oregon and sat next to Lonnie. Lonnie mentioned to Wendy that Revell was going to look for a work of biblical fiction. My fantasy prayer had materialized! Is God amazing or what? Wendy sent Michal to Lonnie who loved it and took it to committee and by October I had an offer! Those three months were the longest of my life!
Do you ever bang your head against the wall from writer's block? If so, how do you overcome it?
Not so much writer's block as trying to make a plot work. I have to outline a story to know where it's going, but then I like to write seat of the pants. There have been times, especially in genres other than biblical fiction (and I've written in several) where I would get a literal headache trying to make a story come together. But I don't usually suffer writer's block.
I might write a scene that stinks and have to change it later, but I write what comes to mind. I also pray for guidance. With biblical fiction, I ask the Lord to tell me what these people were like, since they were real and He knows them better than I do. That's not to say my imagination and interpretation are direct inspiration from Him. But I do take care to consider and seek His insight into their character and their stories. It's an important place for a biblical novelist to start.
Do you consider yourself a visual writer? If so, what visuals do you use?
Yes, I would consider myself a visual writer. I don't need visuals constantly, but I do need to see my characters. I took Deb Raney's suggestion of making an Idea Board and "cast" my characters from actors and actresses. I searched Jewish actors and actresses on the Internet for my biblical series (for other books I've used clothing catalogs) as well as pictures of places in Israel. (Actually, King David is the only character I "cast" from a non-Jewish actor. A Jewish director cast him as a Jewish man in a movie once though so I figure that counts.) He's the closest thing to how I see David that I could find.
When I find all of my pictures, I print them and paste them to a large poster board and hang the poster board in my office above my desktop computer. I write from my laptop so I don't look at the pictures as I write, but it does help to set the mood when I see those posters.
Novelists sometimes dig themselves into a hole over implausible plots, flat characters or a host of other problems. What's the most difficult part of writing for you?
Writing in other genres is different for me than writing biblical fiction. In other genres, I struggled with character development. With biblical fiction it's different because I don't have to do personality tests or study Greek archetypes to find their personalities. I study the Scriptural story a LOT and I get to know them as they are portrayed there. Then I let my mind take off and fill in what's NOT there. But I start with being really sure I'm accurate on what IS there. When there is not a lot in the Bible about a particular person, coming up with a plot can be a real challenge.
How do you overcome it?
Study more. Pray. Read other authors. Let my mind dwell on a particular character. Right now I'm getting to know Uriah, Bathsheba's first husband. I've never written anything from his point of view until now, so as I delve into his thoughts, I get to know him better. Some authors interview their characters or answer questions about them. I do one of two things—I either write paragraph summaries from that character's POV or just start writing scenes from their point of view. I don't usually know my characters really well until I've written the first draft, which is why I like time to rewrite before a book is due. It's what works for me.
Where do you write: In a cave, a coffeehouse, or a cozy attic nook?
I write my novels on my laptop in one of two recliners – either in the family room or my bedroom. Lately, I've been hibernating in my bedroom. It's cozy and warm up there and quiet. I light my scented Yankee Candle Café Au Lait and prop my feet up. I answer emails and do other writing-related projects more often from my desktop in the family room – used to be a wet bar – now my office. (See attached picture of my tiny office.)
What does a typical day look like for you?
There is no typical day. LOL! I fit in writing whenever I can. I'm a wife and mom first – always have been – so I take care of domestic needs and chores most mornings. Some days I run errands. I'm in that sandwich generation with elderly parents and adult kids and that poses its own set of issues. So a lot of days writing doesn't happen until late in the day. Other times, when I'm on deadline, I make it a priority first thing and write for an hour or two or so before doing other things.
Some authors report writing 5-10 thousand words a day. Do scenes flow freely from your veins or do you have to tweeze each word out?
I have never been a 5-10 thousand word a day person. My tendonitis and carpal tunnel would give me fits if I typed that much that often. I do have to watch how much I type, which is partly why I only write an hour or two at a time. (And I exercise most days to keep from having problems.) When I'm setting a word count, I'm happy with 1-2 thousand a day. Some days, the words flow, other days, they trickle.
Do you prefer creating or editing? Why?
Both, actually. Editing because I love to make a story better. But I also love the joy of starting something new. There is a wonderful feeling that comes with the actual creative writing process that is lacking when I edit, unless that editing includes creating new scenes.
What are a few of your favorite books (not written by you) and why are they favorites?
Two from Galilee by Marjorie Holmes – I fell in love with the Bible after reading that book. Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers because I still remember those characters years after I read the books. Mara, Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw a YA book on ancient Egypt because it was a great story. (They are all historical fiction – my favorite genre.)
What's the best writing advice you've heard?
Write what you love, not what you know. You can always learn what you don't know now. I learned a ton about David and his wives and ancient Israel in my seven plus years of study. But I would never have studied David's life if I didn't love David and his story in Scripture. You will spend years on a book before it goes to print—time spent in research and writing and editing and marketing and answering questions about why you wrote the story, etc. If you don't love your story, you'll get sick of it fast. And if you don't love your story, the writing quality will reflect that. Don't write just to be published. Write because you love the subject.
What do you wish you'd known early in your career that might have saved you some time and/or frustration in your journey to publication?
Learn the craft. I've judged for several contests in the past few years and many of the entrants were nowhere near ready for publication. That's not to say they should not enter a contest because the critiques can be quite helpful. But too often people think anyone can write a book without realizing how much study goes into writing a book well. I wrote a two-volume epic before I knew what I was really doing, but that didn't mean it was well-written. I had no real support back then, didn't know books on the craft were so available. If I had to do it over again, I would study the craft first or at least while I was attempting to write, not after years of thinking I knew what I was doing when I didn't.
Do you have any parting words of advice?
The most important thing for a Christian writer to do, in my opinion, is to keep the Lord their primary focus. Pray about your writing. Pray with an attitude of absolute surrender. Right before I got the final call from Wendy telling me that Revell wanted to buy the series, I remember sitting in my car listening to Amy Grant sing "Sweet Will of God." I was crying and praying and once again had to surrender the entire dream of publishing to Him, no strings attached. Hard as it is, I still try not to focus on the publishing. The goal of life is to complete the work God gave me to do, whatever that may be, and of pleasing Him. We cannot know until it happens if we will ever see our books in print, just as we cannot know anything about our futures. Life isn't about being published. It's about obeying Jesus Christ.

In the days after Thanksgiving, many shoppers braved long lines and crowded stores in search of the perfect holiday gift. It's not enough to buy a great gift, though; it must reach the recipient in time.
Here are some cut-off dates from the United States Postal Service in order for your package to reach its destination by Christmas, according to Darleen Reid, senior public relations representative for the U.S. Postal Service.
Dec. 3: Military mail destined for Iraq or Afghanistan
Dec. 10: Military mail for other overseas bases
Dec. 15: Parcel Post, the most economical shipping service
Dec. 20: First Class Mail
Dec. 21: Priority Mail
Dec. 22: Express Mail
Postal Service customers can save up to 11 percent when they ship online at usps.com/clicknship. They can also get free delivery confirmation for Priority Mail when shipping from the site.
The Postal Service will deliver boxes for free. It also offers free package pick-up from the home or office. Schedule it at usps.com/pickup.
Lastly, customers sending packages to military serving abroad at APO/FPO addresses using the Priority Mail large flat rate box will receive a $2 discount, Reid said.
To avoid shipping delays, Reid offers these tips:
• Print addresses clearly and include all elements, such as apartment numbers and directional information (ex: 123 S. Main St. Apt. 2B).
• Remove batteries from toys. Wrap and place batteries next to the toys in the mailing box. Customers should also include the new batteries in the manufacturer's packaging.
• Place a card inside the package that contains the delivery and return addresses. If the mailing label becomes damaged or falls off and the package can't be delivered, this will ensure the item is returned to the sender.
• Never guess a ZIP code. It's better to put no ZIP code rather than a wrong ZIP code.
• Include both "to" and "from" information on packages. Place this information on one side only.
• Select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents. Don't reuse mailing boxes because they weaken in the shipping process.
• Leave space for cushioning inside the box.
• Stuff glass and fragile, hollow items, such as vases, with newspaper or packing material to avoid damage. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately.
When shipping packages through The UPS Store, customers should send them by Dec. 19 to ensure packages reach their destinations nationwide, said Karrie Harmer, the manager of The UPS Store in Martinez. Packages sent within Georgia might still reach their destination if sent by Dec. 20 or Dec. 21, she said.
Customers must consider the weather when sending packages. There can be delays because of snow, Harmer said.
FREE COUPON BOOK: Krystal is giving customers a coupon book valued at $20 with each $10 gift card purchase. The coupon books are available in all Krystal restaurants and will be given away through Dec. 18.
The book has coupons for free Krystal items throughout late December and January, such as sweet bites, wings, strawberry shortcake and chili cheese Krystals.
FREE $10 BONUS CARD: With the purchase of every $50 in Applebee's gift cards, Applebee's is offering in-restaurant guests a $10 Bonus Card. Bonus Cards will be available at participating Applebee's restaurants through Dec. 31 and are redeemable through Feb. 19.

K- i'm trying to wrap my head around this Jacob. Is he his own worst Enemy?
He is in charge of the island and finding a replacement, we know that! In order to find a replacement he has to bring people to the Island, the more "candadites" he bring the more he can weed out and find the real one "progression" as he mentioned to MiB. The more people that come the more opportunities MiB has to find a "loophole". While trying to find the right C and protect the island many peopel are called to leadership: Richard Eloise Widmore Ben the last one Ben is not favored by Jacob to the point that he is not even allowed to see him. Ben says that he has been taking orders from Jacob, through Richard, in the meantime Jacob keeping many things from richard. Ben does many things on the island in the name of Jacob, Killing Dharma, Kidnaping, killing visitors and banishing. Why is Jacob letting this happen? He had an opportunity to choose another leader and choose to just stick it out with Ben.
Ben ended up Killing him without a Fight?
Jacob is his own worst enemy!

Formed in 1989 in Champaign, Illinois, the first stable line-up of this US alternative rock band comprised Matt Talbott (27 June 1967, Geneseo, Illinois, USA; vocals/guitar), Andy Switzky (guitar), Balthazar Baltie De Lay (bass) and Bryan St. Pere (b. 2 April 1966, Evergreen Park, Illinois, USA; drums). Adhering rigidly to the principles of self-booked touring dates and independent releases, they steadily built an international following for their intelligent but caustic musicality and Talbotts engaging, oblique lyrics.
Switzky and De Lay were subsequently replaced by Tim Lash (b. 16 June 1974, Champaign, Illinois, USA; guitar) and Jeff Dimpsey (b. 23 May 1967, Illinois, USA; bass), with the new line-up making its recording debut on the 1993 full-length Electra 2000.

- Try that one traffic generation strategy that you've been wondering about
- Dive deeper into WordPress or whatever other blogging platform you use
- Achieve a certain Google PageRank
- Form a solid relationship with one (some?) of the top bloggers in your field
Final Words
Hopefully that list was enough to get the wheels turning. And don't forget that the monthly blogging calendar is a great way to keep track of these goals.
Of course, a set goal is worthless if you never monitor your progress. Goal-setting is NOT a one time thing (see the accompanying chart).
Remind yourself of these goals on a regular basis, and evaluate your progress as necessary.
And finally, don't be afraid of getting rid of a goal if you realize that it's not the best use of your time or energy!
- Which of these goals stuck out to you?
- What are some other great blogging goals?
- What are some of YOUR blogging goals for the near future?
- What are your long term blogging goals?

Supreme Court's verdict on the 2G spectrum scam left many telecom operators 'shocked' on February 2, 2012. The development spells bad news for the Indian advertising industry as well.
Of the three players that have lost pan India licenses, Uninor, a JV between Telenor Telecom and Unitech Builders, was in the process of completing a review of its media duties. This review was a result of Telenor reviewing its global media duties.
The account size in India was pegged in the vicinity of Rs 125 crore.
While Telenor is expected to announce its media partner soon, the development is unlikely to have any impact in India given that Supreme Court's verdict puts in question the very presence of Uninor and other players such as Videocon Datacom and MTS in India.
At present Uninor's media biz is with ZenithOptimedia and creative duties with Leo Burnett.

Developed by Axis, the Gazarello was a competing model with the AMX-004 Qubeley as part of Axis' next generation mobile weapon project. In many ways, it could be considered a combination of the MAN-08 Elmeth and Axis' own Gaza series of mobile suits. However, the Gazarello ended up losing out to the Qubeley and subsequently faded into obscurity.

|General issues with Lookups and Searches
|Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:18:21 GMT
Hi, as usual, trying to fix a bug can leads to many others... 1) Lookup operation usage first, we have to consider that Lookup has many meanings, depending on the context. - JNDI : the Lookup operation returns a Java object - LDAP : there is nothing such as a Lookup operation in LDAP, but we have one in out API One more problem is that JNDI has a getAttributes() operation which is what our Lookup operation does in our API. Last, not least, inside the server, a lookup is done when we want to fecth an entry with *all* its attributes. This is just a mess... Here is what I suggest, feel free to provide your opinions : - lookup operation will remain in our API, and it will behave the exact same way than a search done with a BASE_OBJECT scope, (objectClass=*) filter. A user can pass a list of requested attributes, plus the special values '+', '*' and '1.1'. The parameter 'TypesOnly' can also be used. Controls are accepted - inside the server, we will rename the operation to fetchEntry(), and it will bypass all the interceptors (we will just call nexusPartition.fetchEntry( DN )). - the JNDI layer we provide will map getAttributes to lookup, and the JNDI lookup method will still unmarshall the result to a Java instance. 2) Search Operation execution Right now, the way we process a search is that we create a cursor, add some filters to this cursor, and then loop on the cursor, fetching a candidate from the backend (which will evaluate the entry against the filter), and filtering the enry before it returns it. So far, so good except that it does not work for a filter done on collective attributes (like '(c-l=Paris)' will not match any result). This is because in the searchEngine, the entry we are processing does not have *yet* the collective attribute added. One way to fix this would be to remove the collective attributes check from the filters, and to filter the entry higher (in a filter added to the cursor). Obviously, it will come with a cost, unless we add some index for collective attributes. 3) Lookup processing Depending on the way we do a lookup from outside of the server, we will have a different way to process it : - if we go through the ServerContext.getAttributes() method (JNDI API), we directly call the operationManager. - if we use out API, we first go through the CoreSession instance, which calls the OperationManager. The problem is that we can't filter the attributes if we do a lookup through our API, when we can with the JNDI call, because we filter the unwanted attributes in serverContext. My first thought was to modify the ServerContext to call the CoreSession which itself calls the OperationManager, and add the filtering of Attributes in CoreSession, but sadly, this is not possible because in this case, we lose the controls. Here is what I suggest to fix this situation : - make the ServerContext call CoreSession - add the filtering of attributes in CoreSession - modify the Lookup operation in our API to pass the controls That's pretty much it with the problems I currently have... thoughts ? -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com

American Idol revealed tonight that Jena Irene would sing "We Are One" as her first single if she were to become the winner of American Idol 2014.
As part of the weekly Ford video all of the Top 3 finalists revealed what would be their debut song and gave us a preview glimpse of the single.
Jena Irene's coronation song will be "We Are One" which she would first perform during the season finale if she becomes part of the American Idol 2014 Top 2 finalists.
As we learned earlier, Jena Irene's song was co-written by American Idol alumnus Felicia Barton from season 8. Although we aren't feeling it is a spectacular song overall, and sounds a bit too much like a Katy Perry tune, it certainly has a much more modern sound than Caleb's 'coronation' single. We could certainly hear this on any contemporary pop or Top 40 radio station pretty easily.
Listen to the full song now available in the SoundCloud embed below.

Mary Mazzie's Anise Cookies
Recipe by veraj9170
These will remind you of those store bought cookies we all love by Stella D'Oro. Slightly crisp on the outside but soft in the middle. I found this recipe on another site (oops! don't tell!)
Top Review by Annacia
These are so very good! They adapt very easily and happily to being diabetic friendly too. I've been making cookies for everyone else but I've had my eye on these anise cookies for a good while and decided to make them for me. The good part is that I'm the only one here that enjoys anise :D. Anyway, I used 3/4 cup of egg white, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cups Splenda, cut the anise extract to 1/2 a tsp and added 2 1/2 tsp's anise seed (I love the taste when you bite them). I need to say that I used a 7x11 pan and got 34 beautiful biscotti. They are crisp but very light and have an airy texture, they are excellent little coffee dunkers. For being so incredibly quick and easy to make they delivered much more than I expected. I'll make them again before Christmas and next time I'll dip half of them in chocolate! YUMM.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups white sugar
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon anise extract
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat for about 3 minutes. Stir in the oil and anise extract. Fold in the dry ingredients and blend well. Spread the mixture into a 9x13 inch pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven.
- When the pan cools slightly, cut the cookie down the middle, lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices onto a cookie sheet and return to the oven long enough to brown on each side, like toast. Watch so you don't burn them! :).
- Store in a tightly covered container.

Whether you're on a hike or overnight camping trip, awareness of possible weather threats can be the difference between life and death. Conditions can change abruptly and catch you off-guard if not readily prepared to take action.
Let's look back at four situations from the summer and current fall and see what we can learn from them.
Sudden thunderstorms and lightning
This past July a group of three hikers was struck by lightning on a hiking trail in Glacier National Park while running to their vehicles according to the Missoulian. Another group of nearby hikers found them unconscious and immediately performed CPR to save their lives while a last hiker went to notify park rangers.
Thunderstorms can develop with little notice, especially near mountainous terrain. Tall steep slopes force air currents upward at high vertical velocities in a process of orographic lifting. Strong updrafts can develop into storm clouds that produce frequent lightning. Actions should be taken as soon as any lightning is seen or thunder is heard.
Seek shelter immediately. This doesn't mean running under a park pavilion, but instead find a fully enclosed building.
If no shelter is available, avoid high peaks, waterways, open fields, and large trees
In a wooded forest, NOAA advises to move near low standing trees if no alternative options are available, but also cautions that no outdoor location is ever safe from lightning. Your vehicle is the next best option if no buildings are nearby.
Flash flooding, rock slides and mudslides
Recent record flooding in Colorado offers a prime example of the threat of heavy rain near mountain slopes. Moist terrain that easily flows downhill threatens low-lying areas with an increased risk of rock slides after flooding events.
A tragic event unfolded two weeks ago when a rock slide in Colorado killed five hikers and injured a 13-year old girl, as reported by the Denver Post. Flooding in preceding weeks may have played a role.
The Colorado Office of Emergency Management has an excellent Web site which lists the warning signs of rock slides, areas to avoid, and what to do during and after.
Snowstorms and bitter cold
Two hikers in Washington State went missing in Washington State from an early season snowstorm two weeks ago, one was found.
Hiking in snow can be dangerous. Heavy snow and low visibilities can strand hikers and/or cause them to lose track of the trail. In addition, hikers may not realize what lies beneath snow. For example, snow could cover weak ice laying atop water. It's best, if possible, to familiarize yourself with a trail before the snow season and/or avoid hiking during major storms.

Disappointing seasons often lead to sweeping change — especially when said season began with championship aspirations.
We've already seen some of the pieces fall for the New Orleans Saints.
Major changes have been made to the coaching staff, and coach Sean Payton has spoken out about the lack of leadership in his locker room.
What we haven't seen is how the changes will affect the roster. With just a little bit more than a week remaining to trim more than $20 million to get in compliance with the salary cap, things have been silent at Saints headquarters.
But what we do know is that change is coming. This roster needs upgrades at several key spots on defense, and hard salary decisions will need to be made at others where players with bloated contracts exist.
How shrewd the team is in trimming the fat from its roster will determine what this team can do in the offseason. With $109 million in cap space tied up in the top 10 players on the roster, it could be difficult to find much room to play with. But several of those hits will be decreased in the coming days when the team converts several roster bonuses to signing bonuses, which can be spread out over a number of years.
And, besides, General Manager Mickey Loomis always seems to find a way to fit players under the cap. It will be interesting to see what he comes up.
In the meantime, here's a look at how things stand heading into the free agency period:
Even though his numbers appear stellar on paper, Drew Brees left something to be desired in his execution. There were too many interceptions and missed opportunities which, at the end, might have been the difference between winning the weak NFC South and heading home with the sour taste of disappointment.
Still, even with the mistakes, Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. His spot is safe.
Behind him, it appears New Orleans will allow Ryan Griffin and Luke McCown to battle it out for the No. 2 job. There is something to be said for locating Brees' successor sooner than later, but the Saints can get away with pushing that down the line for another year. The class of quaterbacks entering the league is weak, and New Orleans has too many other pressing needs to address.
Running backs
The Saints say they want to keep Mark Ingram and have placed a value on him. If Ingram decides his value is something greater and believes he can get it on the open market, the Saints likely will let him walk and shift back to using more of a committee approach at the position.
Khiry Robinson proved he can provide similar production while Ingram was out with an injury, and there are attractive options both on the market and in the draft. With a tight cap, it would be foolish to commit a great deal of resources to this position.
If Ingram walks, the Saints might want to allocate their resources at this position to acquire another "passing" back, who is capable of dictating matchups and opening things up for the offense. That element was lacking last season.
Receivers/tight ends
The Saints do not have pressing needs at wide receiver. Brandin Cooks showed flashes last season and should be even better in his second year, and Kenny Stills emerged as a more complete receiver last season.
There will not be a great need to add players at this position, especially if the team can find a way to chop down Marques Colston's $9.7 million cap figure. The belief here is that both sides will be best served by finding a middle ground. If that middle ground is not reached, Nick Toon could be an option to move into the "X" receiver role.
New Orleans also has a decision to make on Robert Meachem. The veteran played 257 snaps last season but only made seven catches for 114 yards. He provides value as a blocker, which makes up for some of the lack of production as a receiver, but the Saints need to figure out whether there is another option who can contribute in both areas. If the brass determines Brandon Coleman or Seantavius Jones is ready to contribute, it could be bad news for Meachem.
At tight end, Ben Watson's $1.9 million cap figure could come within the crosshairs, but he is still a quality blocker and provides leadership. Measures could be taken to lower Jimmy Graham's cap number.
Offensive line
In an ideal world, both Ben Grubbs and Jahri Evans would accept reduced salaries and return for another year while a young player is groomed behind the scenes. This would allow the Saints to address other positions of need and address a different position in the first round of the draft.
Both players are still capable of being on the field. The problem is that they are not worth the combined $20 million-plus they count against the cap.
If both or either balks at coming back on a significantly reduced salary, New Orleans needs to be ready to make difficult decisions. The feeling here is that greater efforts will be made to retain Evans.
It would be difficult to find capable players to take over at both spots. If either player leaves, Tim Lelito could be an in-house option to play guard, but it's more likely someone is brought in from outside the organization. If a need emerges, New Orleans should look to take two guards in the draft.
Attention also needs to be paid to the center position. If Jonathan Goodwin is not brought back, Lelito likely will be tabbed to fill that role, but competition should be created in training camp.
A backup tackle could also be used.
Defensive line
What looked like a strength heading into last season is a question mark a year later. Cameron Jordan is the only player who appears to have his spot locked down. Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley ($6.1 million cap number) could end up a cap casualty, and the future of linebacker/pass-rusher Junior Galette remains up in the air.
Though his domestic violence case was dropped, Galette could face a suspension to start the year. But beyond that, despite recording 10 sacks last season, Galette was a liability against the run, and it would be surprising if there is some regret over the contract he was given last season.
New Orleans could use upgrades in its pass rush both coming off the edge and from the inside. It would be surprising if measures aren't taken to shore up these positions both through the draft and free agency. It would be a surprise the team doesn't draft a pass rusher in either the first or second round. Also, expect the Saints to tender restricted free agent Tyrunn Walker, who has shown promise and provides quality depth.
More tough decisions are needed at this position, where both David Hawthorne ($6.01 million cap hit) and Curtis Lofton ($9.25 million) could be asked to rework their deals. If either balks, Hawthorne could be in greater danger than Lofton.
Either way, this is another position where upgrades could be needed. Too many of New Orleans' linebackers come from the same mold of excelling against the run while struggling in coverage. The team could use a sideline-to-sideline player who is capable of making plays all over the field.
Looking at the financial side, the first order of business will be doing something to lower Jairus Byrd's $10.3 million cap hit. His $6 million roster bonus likely will be converted to a signing bonus, which will allow the team to spread out the hit, and his $2 million base salary could be cut in half.
On the personnel side, there is a dire need to another cornerback to play opposite Keenan Lewis. The Saints are hopeful CFL import Delvin Breaux can contribute here, but a more known commodity likely will be brought in. New Orleans cannot afford to miss at this position again after striking out on Champ Bailey last season.
So, expect a cornerback to be signed, and it also could be prudent to draft another player at this position. How big of a splash can be made in free agency will depend on how much cap room the team clears in the next week. There also could be value in bringing back Patrick Robinson to cover the slot.?A decision will have to be made on Corey White, who received a $1 million salary escalator for next season.

Practical Common Lisp based on 0 ratings. 4 reviews.
This book is great. It helped me start working on some real projects with Lisp, in a very short time! It also helped me see how great Lisp is. The book presents Lisp in a very nice way. It's easy to follow, and makes you feel like you can actually do lots of things with the language. One thing, though: don't think this is the only book on Lisp you should get. It's an introductory book. It was already enough to make me much more preoductive than when I worked with C++, but I do know that there is even more to Lisp.
I've been studying Lisp over the past two years, and this is the best introduction I've found. The examples (the Practical chapters) do a great job of showcasing the Lisp features other languages lack. I started with books like 'On Lisp' which gives good tips for the seasoned Lisp programmer, but doesn't help new users get up to speed on writing projects. I also started with PAIP (Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming) which is also great, but works with larger, more complex examples. If you're interested in seeing if/how Lisp provides more flexibility than your favorite programming language, then check out this book - it is a fun read. Also may be suitable to people new to programming computers, but some programming experience would help.
This is the perfect book to get to know LISP for the first time or to reaquaint yourself with an old friend. It's been 20 years since I stared at a LISP program. For the past few months we have been using LISP for a rather large development effort - for us anyway. Boy was I rusty. This book has bailed me out many times and allowed me to keep up with our LISP guru. Once you get the hang of it LISP is a great language - its fast to prototype with and you can tweak it for speed later and match C++ for run times. This book takes you by the hand and walks you through the intricacies of LISP. By the time you're done you will have created your first large scale program in LISP - it's that easy!
The very title bespeaks the defensive nature of the book. So too are the several chapters of case studies of Lisp implementations, where these have titles beginning with 'Practical'. The biggest flaw in the book is what it does not describe about Lisp. It provides a good explanation of Common Lisp. And, yes, this language is probably the most powerful language generally available to anyone today. In fact, in Lisp's almost 50 year history, this has generally been true. Most Lisp proponents will readily tell you this, as does the book. Many knowledgeable Lisp detractors will also agree. But there has been an enduring puzzle. If Lisp is so powerful, why then has it consistently failed to hit the big time? Newer, inferior languages can come from nowhere to overtake it, like C++, Java, C# and Perl. The book sidesteps this entire issue. It describes the 1980s as the era of Lisp Machines, when several companies made chips that could natively run Lisp code. Well, firstly, the book fails to mention that this was in part a response to the miserably slow performance of the Lisp interpreters or compilers of that time. Secondly, the book does not say that most if not all of those Lisp companies failed. Why? Could it possibly have been due in part to the very choice of Lisp? The book asserts that many people's experiences with Lisp are with outdated versions. Whereas Common Lisp has none of those disadvantages. Humbug! When languages compete, what is often important is comparative advantage. Yes, the CL is better than 1985 Lisp, say. But CL today competes against languages like Java, C# and VB that are far more powerful in terms of expressive ability than languages in 1985. By the way, I'm not talking of hardware differences. At any given time, all languages have access to comparable hardware. The book does not make a convincing case as to why CL should succeed now, against those formidable and entrenched opponents. Any more so than 1985 Lisp should have succeeded then against C or Fortran.

The Potters boss says the defender is "in great nick" after recovering from injury and is confident he will be match-fit in time for the start of the Premier League
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes expects Robert Huth to join in with the first day of pre-season training after a lengthy lay-off.
Huth suffered a knee injury in a 2-0 victory over Sunderland last November, a problem that subsequently required surgery and ruled the defender out for the rest of the 2013-14 season.
However, the 29-year-old German is on course to join in with his team-mates when Stoke commence pre-season training next Wednesday.
|Stoke are 8/1 to be relegated from the Premier League next season with Betway
Hughes told The Sentinel: "I've seen Robert this week and he looks in great nick, as you'd expect.
"He's been in all summer, working hard and looking forward to beginning pre-season. The hope is that he will start on the same day as everyone else.
"He's gone through all the stages. We were trying to get him back during the season and you're talking about Premier League matches and getting him up to speed for those.
"We are in a position now where we still have five or six weeks before the games start and he's in a good place at the moment to come back in the group.
"He'll be playing big-sided games and we're hoping to get back up to his top level pretty quickly."
Huth has made 148 Premier League appearances for Stoke since joining from Middlesbrough in August 2009.
In his absence last term, the versatile Marc Wilson stood in as the regular partner for captain Ryan Shawcross.
