text: Theis_Bane 448 Report post Posted February 24, 2013 I've been struggling with basic socket programming for the past few months, and I believe, with the help of local guru Kylotan, that I've finally gotten a handle on the basics. It's been a rough journey, trying to piece together what I need to know from books, forums, and web articles... a journey that I believe could have been made MUCH less painful if I had had access to the right information. Of course, right for me might not be right for you, or anyone else for that matter. However, I feel like many of these sources either assume a level of comprehension far above most beginner's capabilities (and thereby barely touching on some very key points), focus their attention on a very specific aspect of using sockets, or are just copypasta'd from someone else and then explained from a basis of limited understanding. Not to mention the articles written by people for whom English is NOT their first language. So I'm considering writing a ground-up, first-time user TCP socket programming tutorial (using C#) that touches on all the problems that I went through as I tried to learn, and hopefully some of the ones that I saw coming and successfully sidestepped. My question: Would this be of any interest to anyone out there, or would I be wasting my time? As a beginner, I plan on throwing it out there for the more experienced to digest and critique, knowing full-well that I'm not the most qualified on the subject. Still, I think my proximity to the subject and relatively shallow experience base could really serve those in a position similar to my own.

Aortic root surgery is a complex surgical procedure to treat a dilation or enlargement (aortic aneurysm) of a section of the large blood vessel that carries blood from your heart to your vital organs (aorta). The aortic root is located near the junction of your aorta and your heart.
Doctors perform aortic root surgery to prevent an aneurysm rupture or a tear in the inner layer of the wall of the dilated aorta (aortic dissection), and to prevent the dilated aorta from stretching the attached aortic valve.
Aortic aneurysms near the aortic root may be associated with Marfan syndrome and other heart conditions.

Two nabbed in Poughkeepsie scrap metal burglary
Two men have been charged with burglary after a neighbor foiled a scrap-metal theft in the city of Poughkeepsie, police said.
Daryl Thrasher, 40, and Jake Corston, 45, both of the city of Poughkeepsie, were charged with second-degree burglary, fourth-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal mischief, felonies; and possession of burglar's tools, a misdemeanor.
On Tuesday, a neighbor spotted the men removing items from a vacant apartment building at 330 Church St. and called police at 5:28 a.m., Det. Sgt. Walter Horton said. Responding officers found the men near a pickup truck that contained numerous cast iron home heating radiators and some copper piping. It was determined that the items had been taken from inside the building, and the suspects were arrested at the scene, Horton said.
Police did not have an estimate on the resale value of the snatched metal.
The men were arraigned Tuesday before City Court Judge Katherine Moloney and are being held in the Dutchess County Jail without bail. Their next court date is Monday. No attorney was listed for either suspect Wednesday in City Court records.
Scrap metal thefts have become epidemic in the Hudson Valley and around the country as the value of metals such as aluminum and copper has risen at the same time the economy is sputtering. In October, Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat, proposed legislation designed to curb the illicit sale of stolen scrap metal by requiring proof of ownership, limiting payouts for scrap to $100 and making it a federal offense to steal metal from critical infrastructure. A similar law went into effect in Virginia on Oct. 1.

Tokyo - Minister of Finance, Kurtaklinger San, has announced a new bank will be in control of all Japanese banks. This new bank will also be taking over the other nations banks in quick succession. According to Kurtaklinger San spokesperson, Ningaworry San, The Bank of Rupt (TBOR), is set up with a simple advantage over other banks. While all other banks are measured on the basis of increasing positive balance sheet, TBOR is set up to maximize negative balance sheets.
This means that when other banks start to have trouble, TBOR can acquire them and prosper. Unlike most banks, TBOR does not allow people to deposit or repay money. They can only take money from TBOR. TBOR is also authorized to print as much money as there is demand for.
Economists see the rise of TBOR as a boon to mankind. As Dr. Sawlgood of Harvard University told reporters, "So many shortages exist today. It's good to know that thanks to TBOR, there will be no shortages of money."

Understanding the customer at different levels helps to build a business
The study of consumer behaviour helps to reveal people's buying habits and the reasons for them. It has close links to marketing, since a better understanding of how individuals and groups make decisions about what to buy has a major impact on marketing strategies, as well as on sales and advertising campaigns.
One of the key aspects is to assess how friends, families, ethnic groups and society in general influence people and cause them to opt for one product or service rather than another which, at face value, may be very similar.
According to psychologist Abraham Maslow, humans have a number of needs which can be arranged in a hierarchy. He contended that when our basic physical needs for food, water and shelter are met, we can then think about something higher. This may mean being concerned with the need for love, esteem, self-actualisation, or a sense of belonging.
Just as there are different levels of needs, there are also different types of consumer behaviour. They include rational, emotional and experimental consumption, and the next episode of the TV series Strategic Marketing for SMEs will use several examples to illustrate these.
Sensitivity to needs
One is Asia Theatre, which sells high-quality audio-visual products and targets middle- to high-income consumers. The shop does not have ground floor premises and, as director Lawrence Lee explains, there is a very good reason.
"Our customers are looking for high quality and want to try out the products in spacious and quiet surroundings," he says. "They don't want to be disturbed by the noise of traffic outside. Therefore, we need to offer customers somewhere which is comfortable and may even feel a bit like home to them."
In keeping with this sensitivity to needs, Asia Theatre expects staff to offer advice and act as consultants in order to build closer relationships with customers. Furthermore, they organise regular gatherings for guests such as the editors of music magazines. The purpose of these functions is to promote their audio-visual products, but also to establish and cultivate closer ties with music lovers.
In the TV programme, experimental consumption is illustrated by the case of HK Traveler.com Ltd, which has taken advantage of the growing demand for ecological tourism. The company started out as a website with information for mountaineers, but soon developed into a business providing ecological tours to numerous destinations.
Founder and director Charles Lee says that everything evolved from his personal interest in posting pictures, routes and information about his own hiking experiences on the Internet. "Originally, I just wanted to share this with my friends, but it started to attract more people and got me thinking about the idea of eco-tourism," he explains.
Mr Lee ran his first such tour in 2000 and, the next year, his website was recognised as one of the best for hiking information and among the top ten for health-related pursuits. In 2003, after the SARS epidemic, the concept of eco-tourism really took off in Hong Kong, so the company started a membership scheme and began to train its own professional tour guides.
According to Mr Lee, most customers are deeply impressed by the experiences they have on a tour and referrals are now one of the major avenues for building the business. "The most important thing, though, is that our customers can share their enjoyment with a group of people who have the same interests," he adds.

|[TowerTalk] Re: Loading C31XR boom for 80m
|firstname.lastname@example.com (firstname.lastname@example.com)
|Fri, 25 Jan 2002 07:08:40 -0600
The wire loaded boom extensions is a good idea, electrically. Mechanically, there is the huge problem of keeping the wires from getting blown around guy wires and / or the tower and beam. The sidemounted beam in the middle of the tower may or may not be a problem, even on 160. I had a 130 ft ft tower with a 3L15 on top (20M beam never got installed) plus an 80M inverted vee at 100 ft shunt fed on 160M where it was a very competitive antenna. When I side mounted a 3L20 at 62 ft, the SWR on the 80M inverted vee went up considerably. I assume there was an 80M resonance between the 3L15 on top, 70 ft down the tower, to the 3L20 at 62 ft. The shunt fed tower still worked on 160 but no longer felt as competitive. I did not model it, but I'm guessing the lower beam effectively lengthened the tower enough to cause a current reversal with subsequent cancellation of low angle radiation. Modeling the system on EZNEC should tell whether the side mount will help or hinder operation of the system on 160M. For 80M, sloping dipoles or sideways mounted V's ( < > ) may be an effective option. Tom N4KG ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

1995 Magic were definitely a more solid team compared to 95 Bulls...they were younger & hungrier...MJ just recently came back from his baseball days and yet didn't have the grasp of his legendary skills he once displayed
'90's defense a joke compared to today? are you kidding right?
Well, Scottie Pippin lead that same team to the Semi Finals without Jordan. MJ comes back and guess what? They get to the Semi Finals. Same result. If Jordan hadn't retired for a year and a half and if they got past the Magic they still don't win a title. Hakeem and the Rockets had Jordan's number. The Bulls always played like crap against the Rockets.
I never said it was a joke.I just said it was easier to play defense back then. Which is a fact. The hand check rule makes it harder to play defense. Playing defense in the 90's was easier then in the modern era.

Mogwai frontman Stuart Braithwaite has enlisted a star-studded line-up for an upcoming benefit gig to help save Glasgow's Sighthill Stone Circle.
The event aims to raise awareness of recent government plans to scrap the landmark in the band's hometown. The bill so far includes Arab Strap's Aidan Moffat, recent SAY Award winner RM Hubbert, The Vaselines' Eugene Kelly, The Twilight Sad and fellow labelmates Remember Remember.
It'll take place at Glasgow's Platform venue on 27 July, with more info on the show available here.
Speaking to The Quietus, Braithwaite has explained that his attachment to the site began as his father was one of the team who assembled it back in 1979. He said of the current plight:
"It's not definite, but at the moment I'd say it's looking more bad than good, so the more pressure we can put on the council and just let them know actually do care about this. Also, lots of people from the astronomical world, pagans, druids, people that just really like the space, the story of it – they mean a lot to a lot of people, so it's just good to get the message out there."
You can sign a petition to save the Stone Circle here.

"Footloose" Multinationals?
We examine whether multinational companies are more footloose than their domestic counterparts in the host country, using data for the Irish manufacturing sector. First, we investigate whether plant survival rates differ between multinationals and indigenous plants. Second, we analyse whether employment is more unstable inmultinationals. As regards the first aspect we find that multinationals are morelikely to exit the market than indigenous plants when we control for other plant--and industry--specific characteristics. In terms of employment persistence we find that new jobs generated in multinational companies appear to be more persistent than jobs generated in indigenous plants. In contrast, they are not any more or less likely to reverse employment reductions, all other things being equal. Copyright Blackwell Publishing Ltd and The Victoria University of Manchester 2003

Channel 4 Fantasy football isnt the best one out there but im a loyal person and use channel 4s website for a lot thorugh the day so it made sense to use their league as well.
Its pretty basic, just pick the team and off you go. Im not in to it as much as I have been in previous years, its just a way to keep me entertained (while I kill time at work) for a bit.
I dont think ive got any chance of winning anything but its nice to be a part of it… Read Full Review

I'm not aware of any book prior to this that has been willing to address some of these questions by presenting sound physiological and spiritual explanations. Then Dr. Larimore explores the physical, emotional and spiritual implications by presenting a Biblical based point of view.
Every Christian parent and youth pastor should own a copy of this book and be willing to disseminate it frequently.

He wishes he would have had this resource when he was a young guy. Get this book so your adolescent son can have biblical, straight forward answers to so many questions he has about the changes going on in his body and his mind. Grandfathers, buy this book for your son or son-in-law to give to your grandson, and encourage them to work through it together. I love the format, too. Very easy to read and broken up into just a few pages for each Q & A, which gets right to the heart of the matter and speaks a boy's language. I really can't say enough about this book and thank God that Dr. Larimore wrote it. And what a bargain for under $8.00!

A 25-year-old Waterbury man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a fatal crash in Brookfield during a high-speed police chase.
State police arrested Eric Sciarretta on Monday after he sped away on Sunday evening from a routine police seat belt check at an on-ramp to Interstate 84 in Danbury, police said.
Authorities said he crashed into a Jeep Grand Cherokee after exiting Route 7 in Brookfield.
The crash killed the driver and seriously injured a passenger in the Jeep. The driver's name hasn't been released.
He was also charged with reckless driving, engaging police in pursuit, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, operating without insurance and failure to wear a seatbelt.
Sciarretta is being held on $300,000 bail after being arraigned on Monday in Danbury Superior Court, according to court records.
It's not clear if he has a lawyer.

It reminds me of Elfman aswell as it is quite popular sounding. Trying developing the ideas more and having less repetition of harmonic progressions if you want to get away from that, not that you would :) Great.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's a very good piece of music, however I felt that the xylophone became too hard (at least it sounded like a xylophone). I recommend "The Ice dance", beginning of it, by Elfman, the composer of Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands".
It also reminded me some of the music from Fable. Not sure of any relations between that and your score, it's just my mind playing around :)
Other than that it's a very nice score, and coming from someone that lives around snow and ice around 6 months of the year, it does give that feeling when snow is falling from the sky, or the landscape changes into something never seen before, transformed by the power of the snow that fell the day before. That's something magical about it :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
very nice. Its a good piece of music. I dont say this often but i could get immersed in this. If you made it a tad bit longer to it would really tie things together.

Ethan is thrown into a strange and eerie world, like nothing he's ever seen. He's assaulted by dive-bombing birds and rescued by a stranger who claims to be his bodyguard. His apartment is trashed, and his mother is kidnapped to a place Ethan never knew existed—a hidden continent called Tara.
Traveling to Tara in search of his mother, Ethan discovers that everything he knows about his life is a lie. His mother is royalty. His father is not dead. His destiny is likely to get him killed.
Confronted by a vicious sorcerer determined to destroy the Makkai family, Ethan must garner strength from his gift and embrace his destiny if he's going to save his mother and all the people of Tara, including the beautiful girl he's fallen for.

"This way." General Niles walked toward two horses, one black and the other chocolate brown, grazing under a tree. Ethan followed slowly, his heart pounding harder against his chest with each step closer to them. There was only one thing in the world he was deathly afraid of—horses.
For the past two summers, his mother forced him to take horseback-riding lessons at a ranch about an hour outside of L.A. The lessons ended up being more like stunt training. Every horse he got on invariably ended up tossing him off. One got stung by a bee and took off at a gallop so fast Ethan fell into the pricker bushes that lined the trail. It took him over an hour to get them out of his legs. Not to mention his back was sore for weeks. He swore he'd never get on another horse, and he wasn't about to change his mind.
When Ethan and the general came within a few feet of the brown horse, he looked up and snorted as if he could smell Ethan's fear.
"Devlin is one of our fastest horses," Niles told Ethan. "A present from my family to you." The general pointed to a dirt road on the other side of the horses. "It's a short ride along this path to Weymiss." He walked over, untied Devlin's reins from the tree, and held them out to Ethan.
He put up his hands. "General, I can't accept such a . . . large present."
"Nonsense," he dismissed. "Shall I give you a leg up? Or can you manage it?"
"You know, I think I'll walk. Legs are stiff. All that sitting on the ship." Ethan started down the dirt path.
A few seconds later General Niles trotted up next to him on the black horse, leading Devlin behind him. "It's a long way on foot. Please, let me help you on. If you're scared, I can lead the horse. I did it for my children when they were learning to ride."
"Do I look like I can't ride?" Ethan lied. "I just need to stretch my legs, that's all."
After a few more steps, the general asked, "Are they limber enough yet?"
Ethan glared up at Niles and let out an aggravated sigh. "Fine." He spun around and walked over to Devlin's side. His heart clamoring, Ethan stared at the saddle for a beat, and then lifted his left foot to the height of the stirrup. It was so high he managed to get only the tip of his shoe into it. He pushed off with his right leg, but Devlin moved. His left foot slipped out of the stirrup and he fell, landing on his butt.
Ethan cursed and dusted himself off.
The general bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Sure I can't help?"
Ethan ignored Niles and walked back to Devlin. He pulled the bridle down so the horse was forced to turn his head and Ethan could look him in the eye.
"Hold still," he hissed.
Devlin lifted his nose, yanking the bridle out of his hand. Determined, Ethan walked to the horse's side again, lifted his left leg, and this time, managed to slide his shoe in the stirrup securely only to realize his leg was so high he couldn't push off with his right leg at all. He was stuck in a ridiculously embarrassing position.
Without saying a word, General Niles dismounted. He came behind Ethan, grabbed his right leg, and tossed it up and over the saddle.
"You're most welcome," the general said, handing Ethan the reins. Then he climbed back on his horse.
Devlin whinnied as Ethan shifted nervously in the hard leather saddle, praying he wouldn't throw him off.
"Sit tall, grip with your knees, lean back on the run, and you'll be an expert soon enough," Niles instructed, making it sound so easy. He made a clicking sound and nudged his horse.
Sit tall . . . grip with my knees . . . okay, just breathe. I can do this. The horse ambled down the path. "Good boy. That's it. Nice and slow."
Niles kicked his horse again, bringing him to a trot. Devlin mimicked and suddenly every part of Ethan bounced, his butt pounding repeatedly into the saddle.
"Oh no . . ." Yanking the reins, he said, "Walk boy. Slow down."
But Devlin didn't slow down. Instead, he jerked his head, turned off the path and took off at a full gallop, heading into a wide, open field.
"Stop!" Ethan grabbed hold of the horse's mane and tugged, but that only seemed to piss off Devlin more. The horse tossed his head from side to side, trying to throw Ethan off.
Green splotches mixed with yellow specks whizzed by. The reins slipped from Ethan's grasp. He latched his arms around Devlin's neck, hoping the tempermental beast would take the hint and slow down, but he didn't. Devlin moved even faster.
Ethan's knees strained, gripping the saddle, trying to stay on. Devlin pivoted right, trying to avoid a white horse that suddenly appeared in front of him. Ethan slipped down in his saddle. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on. Panicked, he looked for help from the rider on the white horse a second before she catapulted onto him, sending him crashing to the ground.
Ethan hit, hard, landing on his chest. The attacker fell on his back, knocking the wind out of him. Showing no mercy, she sat up, pinning him to the ground, and making it impossible for him to catch his breath.
Ethan rolled, taking his attacker with him, until he was on top of her, and staring into the most beautiful, livid green eyes he'd ever seen. Their faces inches apart, a subtle, spicy lavender scent dusted his nostrils as he sucked precious oxygen back into his lungs.
"Sorry . . ." Captivated, he leaned up and started to climb off her. Before he could wipe the stupid grin off his face, she kneed him in the stomach, winding him again.
Ethan fell on his back, clutching his gut, and glowered up at the sky wondering what he could have done so wrong in his life to deserve a day like today. He'd abandoned his mother to kidnappers. He deserved exactly what he was getting, and worse.
He started to stand when he felt sharp, cold steel slide against his neck.
"I wouldn't do that!" There she was again. Standing just out of arms reach, ready to cut his head off with a long sword. In formfitting brown pants, ankle-high black boots, and a white short-sleeve shirt, she had a long blond braid that reached all the way down her back.
Ethan raised his hands, surrendering. He had been miserably wrong. "Beautiful" wasn't the right word. More like . . . Fatally attractive.
"Be glad I didn't aim lower, thief." She glanced at his groin then lowered the sword, pressing the tip against his chest, right over his heart. "The penalty for stealing a horse isn't usually death, but then again, Devlin is my brother Adam's horse!" She fisted the grip with both hands, raised it a few inches, preparing to do what? Kill him? Over a stupid horse?
"Lily! Stop!" General Niles yelled.
Annoyed, she rolled her eyes and lowered the blade, resting it on his chest again.
"What do you think you're doing?" The general pulled his horse to a stop a few feet from them and dismounted.
"I was patrolling when I saw you chasing after this diminutive who'd stolen Devlin," Lily explained.
"First I'm a thief and now I'm a diminutive?" Ethan snapped.
"One's not exclusive of the other," Lily tossed back. She circled her sword over his gut, taunting.
She moved to the west coast following her dream to work in television. And after fifteen glorious years developing and producing for truly awesome places, like Sony Pictures Entertainment, Fireworks Television, 20th Television, that's a division of Fox if you didn't know that, and then at G4, where she could finally be free to be the nerd she had always been. She had more collectible toys in her office than even the famed executive producers of ATTACK OF THE SHOW and XPLAY. At least that's the way she remembers it.
So how did this circle back to the beginning of this bio? A Math major becoming a writer? Because she'd actually always been a writer, she just never told anyone. She would write and write, edit and edit, then realize that it wasn't good enough and go back in for yet another pass. And when she finally had several projects she really loved, that's when she knew it was time to unleash them to the world.
Her first project, a graphic novel, THE 49TH KEY, is currently being featured in Heavy Metal Magazine, and will be released in trade in summer, 2017. Along with her amazing partner, Jessica Chobot, she's currently working with LINE Webtoon and Legendary Comics on FIREBRAND, an ongoing comic series. Her first novel, GAME OF SHADOWS hits the bookstore shelves February 28th, 2017 from TOR/Forge Books, an imprint ofMacmillan Publishers.
There are several other really exciting projects that you will be hearing much more about soon, but if she leaked them now, she'd get in big, big, big trouble. She resides in the sunshine state of California. When she's not chained to her laptop, she's usually playing with her big fluffy Golden Retriever, or running, or at one of the bookstores or comic shops by her house. And always drinking coffee.

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick practiced Friday for the first time since suffering a rib injury in Week 4, but head coach Andy Reid declared Kevin Kolb as the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Vick missed last Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers after sustaining cartilage damage to his ribs during a loss to the Washington Redskins. He was a limited participant in practice on Friday and may suit up as Kolb's backup.
Kolb will make his second consecutive start, as he completed 21-of-31 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown in a win over San Francisco last week.
Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley (elbow) has also been ruled out for Sunday's tilt.

CALGARY - There was no tirade, no condemnation of the coach and no demand for a trade from Matt Stajan about being a healthy scratch.
But don't for a second think the Calgary Flames centre was OK about being in press row during Friday's game against the Ducks either.
Stajan was obviously disappointed about being sat out, but looked much like a player who received a message loud and clear after Sunday's practice at the Saddledome.
"It's not something you want to happen on a regular basis, that's for sure," he said. "There's a lot of us that need to play better. On that night, that was the decision and I have to play better. I can't sit here and say, 'It shouldn't have been me,' or 'what if?' You've just got to play better."
Stajan will likely suit up when the Flames play host to the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday, although there are no guarantees, even for the last-place club coming off a pair of losses.
"It's never something you expect, but you put it behind you and make sure you do what you can do," he said. "I have to make sure when I get an opportunity to contribute the way I can and make sure I don't put myself in a position where I can be expendable and be taken out of the lineup."
Stajan's skill levels are at the point where he shouldn't be even considered for scratching.
However, with just one goal this season -- in fact, just one goal in his last 43 games -- it's not to the level of expectations from the centre acquired in the Dion Phaneuf trade last season and in the first campaign of a four-year, US$14-million contract.
"We need everybody playing up to their standards," said head coach Brent Sutter. "We're in a situation now where we can't have guys playing at 60, 65, 70%. We need the full 100% in every aspect of their game within the team confines."
On the Omark
Flames goalie Henrik Karlsson played with Linus Omark, so he wasn't surprised to see the move the Edmonton Oilers rookie used to score in the shootout against Tampa Bay.
"He has a lot of confidence," Karlsson said.
Omark capped his first NHL game by first doing a spin-o-rama outside the blueline, faking a slapshot and then firing the puck through the legs of Lightning goalie Dan Ellis.
Naturally, it's created a debate whether players should be so flamboyant in the shootout.
"I wouldn't have the gusto to do that, but I don't mind it. It's an opportunity for guys to showcase their skills," said Flames centre Brendan Morrison.
"That's all part of the flair of the shootout," coach Brent Sutter said. "Obviously, us older-schooled guys see things a little differently, but at the end of the day, it's part of the game." Do what you see fit. Just try to score."

About This Activity
How the Rockin' Marathon Relay Works
Here's how Rockin' Marathon Relay works: teams of 2, 3, or 4 members alternate relay legs until the full marathon distance is completed on a loop course. One team member is out running hard on the course while the rest of the team is having a good time at the relay exchange zone. The exchange zone is one big party - enjoy music, food, and socialize with teammates and competitors alike - but be ready for when you next take the handoff for your team! Solo runner option too!
The Course
The course is mostly on the Lake Path at Mount Trashmore Park and measures 1.44 miles. Relay teams will complete a full 18 laps. The first leg of the relay will be lengthened to 1.72 miles to get the exact 26.2 miles. Check the event website for how the legs are split up for an example 4 Person Team.Finisher Medals!

CUNA Communications, firstname.lastname@example.com
MADISON, Wis. - Learn the inner workings of reverse mortgages and the potential of adding them to credit union lending offerings in the first of two new white papers from the CUNA Councils.
Currently, few credit unions offer reverse mortgages, and those that do generally outsource the servicing. ?Reverse Mortgages: A Product Poised for Exponential Growth,? sponsored by the CUNA Lending Council, explores how these mortgages work, their market, and available options. It also looks at the product?s potential in credit unions and some pre-launch considerations, including the risks and the importance of member education.
Some credit unions feel that non-interest income and fees have become an economic necessity given the current economic environment. The second new white paper, entitled ?Generating Non-Interest Income,? examines a variety of different views on the subject. The CUNA Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Council-sponsored paper also offers a member-centric philosophy and approach to fees by stating that the income directly benefits members in competitive savings and loan rates rather than bank shareholder returns.
CUNA Council members are entitled to complimentary copies of these white papers; non-members may purchase the white papers for a price of $50 per copy. The papers are available online at www.cunacouncils.org; select the ?Cross-Council White Papers? link located in the ?Tools and Resources? drop-down menu and select the ?Lending? tab for the reverse mortgages paper, or the ?CFO? tab for the non-interest income paper. From there, non-members should follow the non-member link to order.
About the CUNA Councils
The CUNA Councils are a national organization made up of more than 4,400 credit union professionals from across the United States. Run by and for credit union executives, the councils target their networking, information, and programs to key areas of credit union management, that make up the six councils: the CUNA Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Council; the CUNA Human Resources, Training and Development (HR/TD) Council; the CUNA Lending Council; the CUNA Marketing and Business Development Council; the CUNA Operations, Sales and Service (OpSS) Council; and the CUNA Technology Council.

Sure, his clubhead speed may be slightly down, from a PGA Tour-topping 125 mph to 121. And yeah, he gained 30 pounds because of a variety of medications that increased his appetite. But only 12 months removed from brain surgery, J.B. Holmes considers his 2012 season nothing short of "phenomenal."
"My expectations were to try and get competitive again," Holmes said Wednesday on "Morning Drive," before he rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
"Maybe it was a little slower than anticipated, or I wanted. It was a phenomenal year for me to be able to come back and get competitive again. These last few months I got my distance back and got competitive again."
On Sept. 1, 2011, Holmes underwent successful brain surgery to correct a condition called Chiari malformation, a structural defect in the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls balance. Before surgery, Holmes had complained of symptoms such as dizziness, vision problems and headaches.
Holmes, a two-time winner on Tour, returned in January at the Farmers Insurance Open, and three events later he posted one of his best finishes of the season, a T-8 at Riviera. He finished the season with a pair of top 10s and eight top 25s in 23 starts – he played the first three legs of the FedEx Cup playoffs, but did not qualify for East Lake – and earned $1.16 million, making him one of the favorites for the Comeback Player of the Year Award, if the Tour chooses to name a recipient this season.
"It was exciting to finish off a pretty good year," Holmes said.

Home Office Bookcases
Your home office is also your place for peace and quiet – a secluded area to get work done, attend virtual meetings or to catch up on your reading. Finding the right storage solutions within your office helps you feel on top of things. An organized office simply makes the space more comfortable by proxy, and an easy space to work in helps you complete tasks much more cheerfully. Office storage bookcases are an exceptional resource to add to your home office. Whether you are in search of a corner unit, wall shelving or a standalone bookcase, west elm has the office storage solution ideas you need to keep on top of your work.
For a sleek look that doesn't take up a lot of space, consider a pop bookshelf. A metal frame with wood-engineered shelves provides durability, holding your books, decor and other items, such as office supplies. Place a pop bookshelf in a corner or against the wall to minimize your use of floor space while adding four shelves worth of storage. Another modern idea is an industrial, modular bookshelf. Available in several different designs with both open and closed storage, this unit also features a sturdy metal frame in addition to wooden shelving. Choose from thin, wide and extra-wide units, depending on your storage needs. These shelves are great for storing music and media like CDs and DVDs, office supplies or simply work well for book storage.
Add several units at different focal points in the room to provide a wealth of storage solutions while complementing existing decor and furniture. Other storage options for your office include mid-century shelving. These complete units offer you open shelving space, closed shelving space and closed cabinet space, allowing you to place everything from an office television or widescreen monitor to your entire book collection. You can also pair some of these beautiful units with an included desk and chair set, completing your office ensemble with several key pieces. Choose from neutral or vivid colors, such as red, white or black.
Ladder shelving also enlivens any office space. These special bookcases are meant to look like wall ladders, and are placed easily against any wall to add both storage and decoration. Modular bookcase styles also work well in a home office. Choose from modular cabinet units, where you can privately store personal items and files, or open, cube-shaped shelving units, which provide a lot of open storage space as well as ample open and closed shelves in which to place files, media and more.

The political phone lines were buzzing through the night, with conservative and moderate Illinois Republicans fretting like angry in-laws about the surprising political marriage to be announced in Chicago on Wednesday.
But the guys said they'd go through with it anyway.
Wealthy and moderate Republican businessman Ron Gidwitz will continue his run for governor, able to raise millions and spend his own cash, too, but with a twist. He'll be joined by a conservative running mate, state Sen. Steve Rauschenberger (R-Elgin), who is dropping his gubernatorial campaign to run for lieutenant governor.

Hey Kejtlin, you are a doll for the karma message you left for me.. still aroused coming from a girl with a body like yours! come on girl... clothes really love you more than me! Still thanks so, so, so much... whether compliments are pure lies or not.. who cares? i love getting them (who doesnt?) anyways!

backstage pass
whitetrashanth- The shoes. The shoes. I'd consider doing wicked things to have pair half as cool. The shot with the red silk jacket is giving me the same vibe as I felt when I saw Serena Maneesh a few weeks ago. Pure rock n roll.
no1here- MORE gold shoes!
MadameMode- Beautiful skirt- especially the top layer
findmeg- Another A+ skirt
Tinetush- It seems that your feet DO love colours
Midori- Skirts, skirts, skirts. If I were a lady that's all I'd want to wear.
oanadobre- fun shoes
fashion_muse- nice stripes
francesca- I know some friends who'd go berzerk if they found a raincoat like that.
VampireCa- I'm trying to figure out what to do with some cheap braces that I picked up recently. I can't let them be the focal point of an outfit. You did a great job of making them noticable, but not dominant.
Ivypixie- cute little jacket
Skinny_boho- You pull off the cowboy boots. Congrats!
bryanboy- I love how much fun you have with your outfits/poses.
kejtlin- 2 belts. YES.
I think that catches me up pretty well. I need to go back and do some karma-ing.
Today was another of those days when I more or less stayed inside "studying" or playing on the internet as the case may be. I did have to run a few late-in-the-day errands, so I tested out tomorrow's outfit. I'll be at school for 12+ hours, so there's no risk of my store employee friends knowing that I repeated something.
McQueen blazer- It's the one I got on yoox for a crazily cheap price in March.
old black button down shirt- It's one of those things that doesn't fit quite snuggly enough for me to wear on its own anymore, but it can go under something else. The collar is too floppy.
generic black belt with silver buckle
Jil Sander pants- polyeuruthane coated. They're not usually so bunched up. I hadn't put any shoes on when it shot the picture so I pulled them up to avoid walking all over them.
I'm still deciding on the shoes. The loafers I wore today didn't look quite right. I'm thinking I'll bring out my black gucci laceups with a pointy toe. They're a bit too "night on the town" for most things, but so is the jacket, so they sould work together.

Very nice script and working flawlessly under xbmc live; any chance of merging the HD code ? TIA.
- Smiff - 2009-06-22
noticed a bug today, and reproduced on two xboxes both running 9.04.1:
the "high quality" setting does not save/apply properly.
although the option remains "yes", clips actually play in low quality unless you toggle the option off and back on again. this has to be repeated every time the script is run, and i think after every search aswell, otherwise you always get low quality (flash version).
thanks for the continued dev on this script, its one of the best
edit: seems to have same issue on windows version aswell.. so def. a script issue? not sure
- Restless - 2009-06-25
I had the same problem mentioned earlier in the thread. They simply wouldnt play when clicked. But i downloaded the latest build and it works GREAT.... Thanks

This is awesome! I didn't know a youTube script existed.
Anyone know how to play playlists continuously? After each video, it stops and you have to select the next one manually.

I can't get the YouTube3 script to work either. I can see the thumbs, but when I click to play it won't play. I am running XBMC on Xbox and am running the latest stable SVN (T3CH XBMC 2009-06-01 9.04.1-FIXED-Babylon) and YouTube3 3.4.
When you select a video to play I get notified that it is connecting but nothing ever plays. Any ideas?
- whufclee - 2009-07-25
I've had the same problem with the script since I can remember, looks great but just won't play the videos. I think the youtube script used to work back in the day but I can't recall it working on Atlantis or Babylon builds (although it may have nothing to do with the builds of xbmc, it could just be that the youtube script got updated - can't really remember). The youtube plugin works fine for me though on xbox.

there's a youtube plugin also?
but i installed this in /plugins/scripts/ and it seemed to work nicely (Mac PPC) but I didn't run in thru the ropes.
But I have two questions:
1. I changed my skin to Mediateam and it has no scripts folder in the GUI main menu, so how can you access it now?
2. isn't there any way to:
a) either make it a plugin or
b) symlink it so it shows up as a video source?
(I did read this but I still wonder why it isn't possible to just link to it ...)

Hey guys,
I've downloaded this script and unzipped it, and placed the 'YouTube' folder inside my /scripts/ folder, but when I go to my 'scripts' section within XBMC, it doesn't detect any scripts.
Am I doing something wrong??
P.S. I'm running the latest built on my HTPC using Windows 7.

Hey guys,
I've downloaded the YouTube script and unzipped it, and then placed the 'YouTube' folder inside my \XBMC\scripts\ folder, but when I go to my 'scripts' section within XBMC, it doesn't detect any scripts. (even the Apple movie trailers one that comes with XBMC)
I've even tried using the file browser within XBMC but it just doesn't recognise the .py file. It just doesn't see anything!

Ok guys,
I've fixed the problem by enabling hidden files and folders in windows 7. (really obvious mistake, my bad)
However, I'm noticing that this plugin doesn't have any option to view videos in HD.
I've tried multiple videos in my favorites that i KNOW are in HD, but even though 'high quality' is selected in the settings, they don't play in HD.
Any way to enable this?

This is the second day in a row this happened. Both times first thing in the morning.

TORONTO - The most recent Toronto team to get shut out in three games in a row is very quiet on the subject of this seasons club getting blanked back-to-back.
Thats because theres a gap of nearly 84 years since the record for such goal futility was set. The 3-0, 2-0 and 2-0 losses in December of 1926 by the St. Patricks (the teams pre-Leafs nickname) included games against two teams that are distant memories the Montreal Maroons and New York Americans. The three zeroes were part of an overall goalless slump of 215 minutes, 48 seconds that still stands.
It has been seven years since a Leafs team went two games without scoring, with Phil Kessels late third-period marker against Florida the only one before goaltenders Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers slammed the door.
But Kris Versteeg, channeling some of his experience with the Chicago Blackhawks last season, sees no reason for fretting with the Ottawa Senators due here on Tuesday.
Everyone will go through a drought like this, Versteeg said. I remember after the long Olympic break last year, we had a pretty big struggle. This one is at the start of the year, but you really try and work these kinks out and do your thing.
We have to go out there and do it and not keep talking about it. Were looking forward to the next game, going out there as a five-man unit and scoring some goals.
Captain Dion Phaneuf, mired in his own slump yet trying to keep team spirits up, says the optimism that was there in four early wins has not been seriously affected by losing five of the past six.
Were not down at all, he said. Were not happy, but games are not easy in this league.

The man, whose left cheek was cut in the assault, fell to one knee and then felt someone lifting his wallet, police said.
The two suspects then walked away, according to police.

A competitive edge for investors and traders in weather related industries.
ForecastWatch results are incisive...it's a great service and it's indispensable in our business.
- Gain an edge by understanding forecast uncertainty
- ForecastWatch works with the top weather forecasting companies to verify and calculate the accuracy of their forecasts. We know the factors that affect weather forecast accuracy, and we know when forecasts can be relied on, and when they shouldn't. Don't just look at the weather forecast when making your trading and investing decisions, know how much uncertainty is reflected in the forecast so you can make better decisions.
- Test your models with historical forecasts and observations
- Much of the economy is driven by weather. Consumers make decisions based on weather forecasts. With ForecastWatch's historical record of weather forecasts and observations, you can test your revenue, attendance, and commodity pricing models based on the highest quality forecasts and observations. We can even help you develop your models using our data.
- Evaluate providers on your criteria
- Because ForecastWatch tracks forecasts for over eight hundred U.S. and international cities, we can pinpoint where forecasts hit and where they miss. Some forecasters may have a weaker coastal model than others, while others may do better in the Midwest. Regardless of your needs, ForecastWatch can tailor an evaluation that will help you to select the weather forecast provider that meets your needs.
- Monitor the accuracy of your provider
- It has been mentioned that a one-degree improvement in the accuracy of weather forecasts could save at least one billion dollars annually in United States electric costs. There are differences in weather forecasts from different weather forecasters and weather forecast companies. Choosing the right weather forecast provider can save you money. ForecastWatch can help.
- Valuable feedback for your meteorologists
- ForecastWatch analyzes accuracy changes over time and provides custom reports and data drill-downs so you know if your forecasts are improving. With model or process changes, data is compared to forecasters who have not made changes to determine if your forecasts are improving.

Can you guys help me understand this more? Maybe the best way would be to provide a list of quotable quotes you have heard. Is this only stuff you hear as a designer when talking to people or does it show up too in DGCR reviews (I do not read reviews too closely....usually just skim them for the main points being made)?
Sponsored Links
I've only got one course to take blame for design on, and only a share of that. I don't think the hard feeling comes from constructive criticism, but from critics who go online and harshly criticize features of a course without trying to understand why they were done---what was the designer's intent, what were his constraints, how does the hole fit into the flow or balance of holes on the course, etc.
Mr. Berry
Great post. This is the biggest problem with this site in general. Until some of the "reviewers" actually go through the ENTIRE process of getting a course in.......(ie all the red tape and future projects, last second budget cuts, boundaries of land available changed yada yada yada). FWIW, I would just take the negative feedback with a grain of salt. I am a firm believer that if you took 10 different course designers and gave them the same piece of land to work with.......you would have 10 different designs, some similarities here and there, but for the most part different. I think as long as you follow the basic parameters of design and use as much of the land available as possible you probably won't have horribly negative feedback.
Until there is some sort of "criteria" or "tests" for a reviewer to take, I wouldn't worry too much about the uneducated naysayers. Through time as/if the sport grows and people take it more seriously, more people will understand what makes a course "good or bad"......that may take a long time though.
I think the feature where the designer can reply to reviews is a good idea.......Makes it much easier to explain why a plinko fairway ended up that way, or why you have a basket 20 ft from a playground that wasn't there when the course was put in......yada yada yada you get the point
Dave, I make the 'mistake' of commenting on "what could have been", in quite a few of my reviews. It's not a personal attack against the course or the design, but since my reviews do offer my realm of preferences and subjectivity, I feel it necessary to comment that if "that section of woods over there were utilized", or "the creek should be brought into play OB more often", then my rating of the course would have been higher. I completely understand the limitations of design with respect to land use and other politics. However, sometimes the comments regarding what could have been are because I completely feel the course may have been laid out by an inexperienced designer who may take and run with these new ideas, or that a parks department crew who doesn't even play disc golf may have thrown the course together.
What really spurred this entire conversation I had, and kept me stewing about it for a while afterward, was a comment I heard second hand. Something completely absurd surfaced and it was thrown out that "an AM2 can't design a good course". Personally I think PDGA tournament play has ABSOLUTELY zero to do with course design, and I was now in the attack mode based on the comment. I do admit that knowing the rules, being involved in higher level design discussions, understanding (and executing) player skills at higher levels, and having vast familiarity with playing the sport at multiple courses does indeed help foster better inputs into a design. But the designer still needs creative manipulation of these inputs and the land given to work with. What divisions I choose to play, what tournaments I actually bring myself to play (because I LOATHE sanctioned events), and how I actually finish has no bearing on my design abilities. So, while that got me stewing, I decided to outline some of the inside views I have, and expand on the disc golf designer biography I have also thrown together.
I'm still curious what other designers use and some basic or specific inputs into their own designs, and how they use their inputs to debate the feedback, and especially combat the negative feedback or maybe even keep it from surfacing.
It's not like I am whining about a low rating of any course I've designed. When someone rates a course low on this site, I typically send a PM and ask for some feedback. I understand and accept most of it.
I'm talking about the unthoughtful "this hole is lame", or "I hate that tree", etc etc etc. Then roll it all together with a little bit of "why'd you do THAT, I would have done THIS". While this feedback is so useless and meaningless, it still gets under my skin.
I'd take it with a shakerful of salt.
I think there's a distinction between not liking a tree or hole or course or style of course, and saying the desginer should have done it differently. The first is from the player's point of view, and everyone has different tastes. I doubt it even occurs to some reviewers that the designer may read what they wrote. If I say, "Fontana Village is a very good course but hole #1 is lame", I'm passing that info on to potential future visitors. I'm not blaming the designer---he may have had no better choice---but stating an opinion that I think it's a lame hole.
Now, if someone says an MA2 shouldn't design a course, I'd shrug it off as ignorance. I can think of plenty of great courses whose designers aren't Top Pros.
In regards to the AM2 comment:
While the comment may be made in ignorance, it does have some base: because there are certainly a lot of Am 2s that I would recommend not design a course.
A designer should thoroughly know what a disc can do. They should know what a good hyser flip looks like and can acheive; or a roller, overhand, backhand, anny, forehand, skip-shot, etc.
That doesn't mean they can execute all of those shots in tournament rounds at the highest levels, but it does mean they probably shouldn't be a new player who has a great firebird-forehand but nothing else.
That said, an Am2, if seasoned and thoughtful and well-versed, can make the best course in the world. Even better than one that Ken Climo might make.
I liken this to how great basketball coaches are often not the best players, but the best students of the game.
Last edited by Rockwell; 03-21-2013 at 01:40 PM.
Yes I would design a hole with a shot I couldnt pull off. I do not believe I have though because I can't think of a shot I cannot pull off (not saying that concededly).
Mash, you're getting at what I'm asking other designers about. How do they feel about lower quality holes or courses they've designed, as well as difficult ones that have received negative feedback. I wholly admit that if a course sucks relative to others I've played, it is going to rate low, and it isn't a fault of the designer necessarily, but I also wouldn't take the reasons why into consideration of my rating.

The Backless Wedding Dresses for your Superb and Sensational Appearance on your Wedding Day
Backless wedding dresses can be the most seductive or foxy wedding dress ever. Guess, we do not have to explain where the attractiveness come from, right? This kind of wedding dress is well-designed by outlining the bride's beautiful back though its backless design. Therefore, the bride's back will be the most exploited in this kind of dress tough some of them also highlighting the other aspects by having it accessorized. So, after knowing that fact, the backless design of wedding dress will not be that complicated though there are still some considerations that you have to know about. The following are glimpse information of the wedding dress with the backless design that might be useful for you.
The Slim Body Size for the Perfect Use of the Backless Wedding Dress
You might want to know that this kind of dress might look best when worn by the women with the proportional body size. Their body shape looks perfect with the features of the backless dress. The perfect body curves will only be owned by the slim or slender type of woman, so it doesn't matter for them to exhibit such graceful body. Although, some of the backless dresses are also designed to accommodate the women with the plus or lean size, we just say that this will look better if you also have an adequate size of your body. Else, if you are confident enough with your body size, so don't bother with that though.
The Famous Designs of the Backless Dress
We can see some of the magnificent designs of the wedding dress with the backless design and one of them is the Noble Halter satin organza gown with beaded neckline and waistline. This can be included as the accessorized wedding dress since it involves the veil and long mittens on it. However, the backless design seems fit enough with those additional accessories which call the noble impression of the bride. The Sassy Sweetheart lace-appliquéd layered gown with pearls and crystal sequins will really accommodate you in wearing any opulent style of a mermaid gown.

Friday, raising the barrier from $8.67 an hour. The move will keep
the state's minimum wage as the highest in the nation.
Washington's minimum wage is adjusted each year for inflation as
measured by the Consumer Price Index for the past 12 months, which
is up more than 4 percent.
Oregon has the second highest minimum wage and recently
announced that it will rise to $8.80 an hour in 2012.
