Marlene Hemmings Marlene Hemmings, Attorney at Law
Yes, but you will need proof of your legal status in the U.S. (such as a U.S. nonimmigrant visa), in order to be re-admitted into the U.S., if your cruise takes you outside the country.

RPGWatch Feature - TQ: Immortal Throne Review
Are action-RPG's your thing? Then Titan Quest almost certainly scratched that itch for you in 2006! Mike Anderson takes a detailed look at the expansion Immortal Throne in our latest feature. Here's a snip:
The main quest portion of the game is essentially a linear march to a final battle, yet it is so well wrapped up in the side-quests and diversions along the way that it actually feels more open than the original. The areas you encounter are larger and have multiple paths in and out with side-quests taking you in all directions. You are never in danger of getting lost, but some of the areas are large and challenging enough to be quite exhausting! This is a definite improvement that I noticed immediately when I started a new game after completing the expansion - and it is a highly welcome change, as the highly linear areas in the original tended to become tedious.

DETROIT (CBS DETROIT) – It's beyond an embarrassing typo, as a pornographic image is tweeted from corporate and the results are lighting fast.
U.S. Airways, one believes, inadvertently sent out a pornographic image on the company's Twitter feed Monday afternoon.
It took a what amounts to light-years for the company to catch on to its porno gaff and then the apology was likewise tweeted out.
U.S. Airways stated that the tweet with the 'inappropriate image recently shared as a link …' is removed and the incident is being investigated.
But that apology came after thousands had seen the tweet and retweeted or made their best comeback comments.

G8 summit: Homeowners charging £12k a week for house in Fermanagh
Savvy landlords and homeowners in Fermanagh are gearing up to make the most of the G8 summit by renting out properties for more than £1,700 each day.
Owners have put their various residences up to let ahead of the international summit in June for as much as £12,000 for just one week.
Using the advertisement website Gumtree, houses are being touted as 'available for G8 summit', with their distance from the Lough Erne Golf and Spa resort included in the descriptions.
In some cases entire guesthouses are being offered. One landlord is even keen enough to offer a set-down and pick-up service from the airport.
Though the G8 summit being held at the luxurious Lough Erne resort on the outskirts of Enniskillen is three months away, those who have properties to rent are already getting set to cash in on the thousands who will come to the scenic area for the event. The summit will take place from June 17-18 when the leaders of world's eight wealthiest countries arrive.
Some of the homes are advertised as having gardens large enough to be used as helicopter landing pads. Others boast chauffeur-driven cars and 24-hour security guards.
One poster even said their family were moving out of their home for the duration of the summit to rent it out.
Others offer fishing trips organised by expert anglers in the nearby lakes.
Competition in pricing varies, with people asking from £2,000 to £12,000 to rent their homes by the week.
They'll be hoping that as thousands descend on Fermanagh for the summit, demand for accommodation will rocket, with companies and organisations hunting for a secure hub near the resort to use as a base for its duration.
Last month £380,000 was set aside to clear up derelict sites in Fermanagh ahead of the visit by the heads of state of the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the UK. The summit is set to herald a massive financial boost to the area with some of the most powerful people in the world destined to arrive at the golf resort, which itself has been at the sharp end of recession.
Property owners making the most of the summit have been praised by Sinn Fein MLA for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Phil Flanagan, who said: "I admire those who've shown entrepreneurial spirit. They're showing that it's alive and well. People who are trying to make the most of this opportunity should be commended for doing so. There's a fear that the benefit of the G8 will be very small, so I suppose if people are able to make a few pounds out of the media scrum and the entourage that's coming along with it.
"People need to be innovative so they can maximise whatever it is they have ahead of the G8. It's rumoured there will be 800 Americans over with President Obama, so it's important to have the capacity to house those people."
DUP MLA Arlene Foster also said: "The G8 will present both long-term and short-term economic opportunities, not just for Fermanagh but for Northern Ireland as a whole.
"Accommodation in Fermanagh and the surrounding counties is clearly in huge demand, with many venues completely booked up before, during and after the summit."
The Enterprise Minister added: "Hosting the G8 is a tremendous coup and it will give us the opportunity to show the world why Northern Ireland is a great place to visit and why it is the ideal location in which to do business, to invest and export goods from."
The Lough Erne golf resort, which boasts a course designed by golf star Nick Faldo, was on the market for £10m after administrator KPMG's takeover of the complex in May 2011. The 120-room golf and hotel complex was boosted when it was announced that the G8 summit was going to be held there.
The location may have been chosen as it will be hard for protesters to gain access to the area as it's surrounded by water and only single lane roads lead to it.

What can stop a cutting laser?
Inverse square applies to omnidirectional things, a decently collimated laser will hold power over the length of a room.
Of course, I was being stupid.
I am being nice when I say this, but the problem is that you are asking a question that 'depends' ....like a question of a similar nature would be something like, (and the following question is off the top of my head...), "WHAT CAN STOP A "RAZOR SHARP WAR AXE" from chopping something?!!!!?????"
A 100 foot thick log would do it....or if the person missed its target (the log...), or if the axe handle was defective and broke before it hit the target, or if the target ran away faster than the man swinging the axe (assuming a man swings the axe ). If a machine swung the axe, then it would definately not chop anything, because the machine has a tiny little clock motor that is powering the swinging action
?? why did I answer this?
Everybody thinks lasers are the only way to make precise cuts, they are only one of many tools. There are also super fine plasma cutters. It all depends on what you are trying to cut, how you want it cut and how precise you need it cut. A simple razor knife and a straight edge will cut paper better than a laser will and there is no smoke to deal with.
To stop it put the laser on a material that is can't cut or deflect it with a mirror. The laser in only so powerful and will only make it through a pre determined thickness of material. The further the laser is from the target the less able it is to cut into that target.
A cutting laser is typically in the bottom of laser cutting/engraving machines and the beam is focused and shot through a set of mirrors up to the gantry that slides over the material to be cut. If there are no focusing elements in place then the laser's ability to cut is greatly diminished.
a blocking, like a wall for a laser, a non reflective material that can not be cut through no matter the distance for a laser strong enough to cut hard objects like metals/rocks/etc.
Do you have access to a 1000+W laser? You need a multi thousand watt laser to cut metal and rocks. To block something like that you would need a special heat resistant ceramic like the tiles used on the space shuttle. It's all about the heat. A laser is just a focus beam of heat but if the object is far enough away then the power of the laser is greatly diminished.
honestly I have nothing, I have many questions that I need to get answered so when I get true money I can have an idea what I'm doing, u know? so something that is just heat resistant? doesn't sound that hard... shouldn't be to hard to find heat resistant materials that are not too expensive, right??
how about a beam that could be like a 3 feet long? random but is that too short or is it long enough?
Sure the beam can be any length but the focal point of the beam where it does it's best cutting will be close to the base of the beam unless it's been focused elsewhere. But don't get any idea about making a real life light saber cause it doesn't work. Besides you can't see the beam unless there is a lot of particulate in the air.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Montana
My mother passed away in jan. naming my sisters and I as the personal represenatives in her will. In Dec. she had divorced her husband, Roger. The bank has told us that we can have no access to her bank account as it goes to Roger. If we were to take the divorce papers in would the bank then give us access or is there some crazy loop hole where the ex husband can end up with the money?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You may want to find out how the bank account was titled. It sounds like it was held as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If so, then it would pass automatically upon death. You might want to talk to the lawyer handling the probate about the issue. What does the divorce decree say about the account? The account may not have been updated pursuant to the decree. I would suggest that you discuss the issue with the attorney handling the estate.

Every other week, On Small Business reaches out to a panel of young entrepreneurs for answers to some of the most pressing questions facing small business owners. The following responses are provided by members of the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC).
Q: Should business owners embrace or push back on the shift toward BYOD? How has your company handled employee devices and what are the risks / benefits you've discovered?
Raphael Ouzan, CTO and founder of BillGuard in New York, N.Y.
"Powerful and diverse devices are a commodity that have become part of the life of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Even if a company chooses to provide their own enforced devices, it is technically tricky and often counterproductive to deny access to at least company emails from unauthorized personal devices.
Rather than forcing such limitations, companies should provide tools and guidelines adapted to popular devices in order to ensure the protection of its information. Security on mobile devices is somewhat still limited today, but standard procedures such as VPN access, setting up a pin code to access the phone and the ability to remotely wipe a stolen phone is enough to provide a basic ground of protection.
In the close future, we can expect to see more and more innovations significantly improving the level of security on mobile handsets to better accommodate the spread of mobile banking and other types of highly sensitive information stored everyday on our phones."
Matthew Ackerson, founder of Saber Blast in New York, N.Y.
"Business owners should embrace BYOD because it is a natural, evolutionary change. The proliferation of web technology in mobile devices empowers individuals to always be connected. Trying to force restrictions with the goal of containing this natural urge is swimming against the tide. Business owners should instead embrace this change and find creative ways for this shift to help them grow their businesses.
A common worry that many business owners have here is that their employees are going to slack off all day playing Angry Birds. The truth is, though, there were always opportunities for employees to be lazy, social media is just one of the newest options. On the other hand, the most overlooked benefit to embracing BYOD is that mobile tech allows employees to always be productive on the go. For instance, project management is accelerated when you're not chained to a desktop computer.
My company, being completely virtual, has no restrictions on the use of smartphones by team members. What matters more to us is (1) are we sticking to our core values as a company and (2) is everyone performing at their peak potential so that company never stops moving forward?"
Matt Mickiewicz, co-founder of Flippa.com in Vancouver, Canada
"All our staff uses their own cell phones, but we've given everyone from support and marketing to IT a Macbook Pro. We're open to them using other devices so long as their use is in line with our security policies and procedures. These are not device dependent, and most of our systems are in the cloud, so BYOD is not an issue for us.
Our approach to BYOD means its easier for our staff to address any issues that arise after hours -- this is important to us given the 24-hour nature of our marketplace."
The Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) is an invite-only nonprofit organization comprised of promising young entrepreneurs.

wikiHow to Draw Crona From Soul Eater
Do you like Japanese anime and the series, Soul Eater? Do you like the character Crona? If you do, read this article to learn how to draw him!
1First, get a picture of Crona so that you know what he looks like. You could print his picture out on the computer by typing in "Crona From Soul Eater
2Start with a circle for his head. Sketch it out in pencil before you trace over it in marker so you don't make any mistakes.
3Make a cross in his face for the guidelines. This will help you to place the eyes, nose, and mouth without having to make mistakes if one eye is bigger than the other. This also helps you center all of Crona's facial features.
4Make 2 lines for his eyes. Make sure that the line on the top is slightly bigger than the one on the bottom. This will give it that "anime" affect once you fill in the pupils.
5Make a little loop to close it up, and after that is done, add in the pupils.
6Then make the nose and a mouth; either sad or happy; and then erase the cross.
7Then you make the color of his dress for the neck.
8Then the color around his wrist.
9Then make his dress, which is black.
10To make his shoes, you need to make a color around his ankles.
11Color him in; his hair is light purple and pink.
- His eyes are light blue when he's scared. His normal eye color is black.
- The color of his neck, wrist, and ankle is white.

text: CIT Talks to Avert Ch. 11 Intensify A failure to resolve CIT's crisis would have dire consequences for the industry, according to experts. By Vicki M. Young and Liza Casabona and Matthew Lynch on July 14, 2009 Intense negotiations between CIT Group Inc. and federal regulators raised hopes Monday that the giant finance and factoring firm could avert bankruptcy and spare fashion vendors and their retail accounts. A failure to resolve the crisis and allow the financial powerhouse to raise capital through bond sales in the private sector would have dire consequences for the industry, experts said. Analyst David Strasser of Janney Montgomery Scott wrote in a research note Monday that if the government did not come to CIT's aid, the retail industry could see "significant inventory issues" later in the year. "Some vendors would simply not be able to finance shipments to retailers for holiday," he wrote. "We know this is sounding overly catastrophic, but the more we learn about CIT, the more we realize it is a financial lifeline for the retail industry." Strasser wrote he believes the government will ultimately step in. Describing CIT as "an integral component of the retail chain," Andrew Moser, founder and managing partner of Kairos Group, said a Chapter 11 filing by the firm would have "a dramatic ripple effect, causing many customers-clients themselves to file" and put the fall and holiday selling seasons at even greater risk. Moser said although there are other banks that can take over lending activity, few financial institutions are set up to take over the factoring part of the business. One factoring executive, who asked not to be named, said a CIT bankruptcy would weigh heavily on CIT's more than 500,000 commercial customers. "The credit enhancement — getting a factor's guarantee — people need CIT for that," the executive said. CIT's spot as the number-one independent leasing company in the U.S. means that a bankruptcy would dramatically alter the retail finance market. "There is no number two," executive said. "The falloff is huge. Wells Fargo is a likely player, but they run a much more conservatively booked business." In the fashion and retail sectors, many believe government officials underestimate CIT's importance. "It would be a mistake for the government to discount the importance of CIT in our industry," said Stanley Officina, president of Ultimate Financial Solutions, a finance and factoring firm. "Some in government may be unfamiliar with how CIT helps to keep goods flowing to retailers." A financial executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, "Vendors are going to be reluctant to ship product to stores if they can't rely on credit guarantees from CIT. Thousands of stores will see the flow of merchandise slow down to a trickle." In London, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the U.S. government could take actions to address the crisis at CIT. "I'm actually pretty confident in that context that we have the authority and the ability to make sensible choices," he said, declining comment on specific steps the government might take. "We have a significant interest generally in trying to make sure the financial system gets through this, adjusts where it needs to adjust and emerges stronger," Geithner said. Financial sources said although CIT appeared to have the support of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. remained a stumbling block regarding the New York-based lender's application to participate in the agency's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, created last year to unfreeze debt markets. Participation would allow CIT to raise capital through bond sales in the private sector, with the U.S. government providing debt guarantees. However, FDIC approval is not expected since the credit quality of CIT's debt is below the threshold level required, sources said. A spokesman for the FDIC did not return calls. CIT shares rose sharply in after-hours trading Monday. After falling 18 cents, or 11.8 percent, to $1.35 in New York Stock Exchange trading Monday, the stock jumped more than 22 percent in after-hours trading amid reports the company's talks with federal regulators on a bailout package were progressing. CIT received $2.3 billion in Trouble Assets Relief Program funds in December, when it also got Federal Reserve approval to become a bank holding company. In addition to the option of TARP funds, sources said CIT might move funds to CIT Bank, where they could be transferred to the holding company and, as with TARP funding, ease short-term liquidity needs and clear the way for the firm to raise capital in other ways. That could include the liquidation of real estate holdings or even the sale of its factoring arm, considered the crown jewel of CIT's assets. The factoring division is profitable and could garner interest from firms such as Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase and foreign banks. Although CIT has to consider bankruptcy as an option in case negotiations with regulators fail, the company would not confirm reports that the law firm of Skadden Arps, which has represented CIT on corporate matters, was appointed as its bankruptcy counsel. In the case of a bankruptcy, vendors who rely on CIT for factoring services would be left uncertain about what they could expect concerning all aspects of their ties to the company. Customers operating with seasonal peaks and valleys who typically work with overadvances are paid down as sales cycles progress conceivably could find themselves getting less. Financial sources expressed fears about the status of manufacturers' credit balances in CIT accounts in the event of bankruptcy. Money in a neighborhood bank is backed by FDIC insurance, but credit balances are not. Vendors could find themselves in the position of unsecured creditors, waiting in line with their claims along with other CIT creditors. "That's a tough question to answer because there haven't been a lot of factors that have gone bankrupt," said Lawrence Gottlieb, head of the restructuring practice at Cooley Godward Kronish, who represents unsecured creditors committees in bankruptcy cases. Typically, credit balances belong to the factor's clients. But in the bankruptcy of Initial Funding, a refactoring firm, a New York State Supreme Court justice in Manhattan ruled in 1998 that credit balances belonged to Initial Funding's secured lender, making Initial's clients unsecured creditors. "While CIT could make the argument that [credit balances are funds] CIT is holding, someone might be able to make the case that they are trust funds, with CIT holding them in trust for creditors," Gottlieb said. "I am relatively sure that if CIT were to file for Chapter 11, it would bend over backwards to make sure its customers are happy. That would be their first goal if they want to keep their customers."

Since the launch of the Xbox 360, there has been a fairly prominent community of gamers dedicated to obtaining as many Achievement points as they can possibly get. While many of us have experienced our fair share of Achievement hunting, others have gone to the extremes.
Some have questioned the purpose of Achievement points. Internet forums and blogs have been littered with questions such as, "What is the point of Achievements?" and "Are Achievements a distraction to gaming?" since the feature was introduced with the Xbox 360 in 2005. While Achievement points may puzzle some, they have spawned a new way to play games. Many websites with large communities are dedicated to them, with users sharing tips and writing guides on how to unlock them.
For those who want the highest Achievement score possible, a common practice is to track down games from other regions than their own, which isn't very easy to do. If you're trying to get as many points as possible, you have to be creative by doing things out of the ordinary. Most gamers only have a single Xbox 360. Those looking for the most Achievement points have one for every region of the world so they can unlock them in Japanese and European games not available in their own country. Most people only own one version of any given game. Gamers looking to gain the maximum points possible will hunt down the U.S., Japanese, and European versions of a single game because of the separate Achievement sets for each region.
A typical game released in the United States has 1,000 Achievement points. But when the same game is released in another region, such as Japan or Europe, it sometimes carries a separate set of Achievements. That means if you unlock all 1,000 points in the U.S. version of the game, you can then play the same game again and get 1,000 more points in the Japanese version. A frequent tactic for Achievement hunters is to buy a U.S., PAL, and Japanese Xbox 360 console in order to play every game from every region. For example, the game Catherine has three sets: U.S., Japan, and Europe. Sometimes a specific country in Europe will get its own set. A title that has multiple sets is called a "stack-able" game.
In some instances, the Asian and Korean version of the game will be stack-able. In a unique case, the Russian PC version of BioShock 2 and Mafia 2 carry their own Achievement sets. The most stack-able game is Scene It? Bright Lights! Big Screen!, which has seven separate versions (North America, Europe, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, and Italy). Because players answer trivia questions, separate versions of the game were created with specific questions geared toward the respective countries it was released in. When interviewing a user of a popular Achievement tracking website, he informed me that he knew of several people who have owned multiple copies of Scene It?, and he knew of one individual who had owned down all seven versions of the game.
Tracking down versions from other regions can be tricky. It can mean navigating a foreign retailer's website in a language you cannot understand. Or it can involve trying to fund an account from a different country. I saw one instance of a user calling up a store in China, asking the employee if he was certain the copy of the game the store carried was in fact the "Asian" version. Many Achievement hunters set up game exchanges. There are forum threads dedicated to trading games from player to player. One user informed me that his friend ordered games from the German version of Amazon, but because it didn't ship to the U.S., he first had to ship them to New Zealand and then to the U.S.
I asked what the hardest game was to find — if there was one game that was the "holy grail." He said, "I think the hardest game to find is the Chinese version of Every Party, which I do have. The AP version of Ninety-Nine Nights II has been one I have been having a lot of trouble locating. I knew of a place that had it, but they don't carry it anymore."
Unlocking Achievements in Xbox Live Arcade games is a different obstacle. Sure, if you live in the United States, you can easily purchase and download U.S. games. But what if you want to download an XBLA game that was released only in Korea or Japan? There are several barriers. Users on the website Xbox360acheivements.org have written guides on how to access foreign XBLA stores. These show you illustrations about how to navigate the official Xbox website to create Canadian, Europe, and Japanese accounts. Common phrases found in these instructions include "navigate here," "select Japan as the country you live in," "make sure you register this specific way or it won't work," and so on. It's a very tricky process as Microsoft never intended or wanted people from the United States to make accounts in other regions. When an XBLA store blocks you from using its website because you have an American I.P. address, many gamers use a VPN to makes it appear as if they're in another country.
Even when you use these elaborate techniques, you can still hit a roadblock. A top user from Xbox360acheivements.org informed that Korean downloadable games were impossible to get unless you actually lived in Korea. This is because in order to make a Korean Xbox Live account, you need to provide the Korean equivalent of a Social Security card. Microsoft has also been known to ban accounts.
Some people may not like or "get" Achievements, but it's pretty clear that they're here to stay. The experiment of requiring Achievements for every Xbox 360 game has been successful. Many wonder what will become of these points in the next generation of the Xbox. Whatever the future holds, it's clear that people will continue to love Achievements.

Q. How can I convince my 25-year-old daughter that it's better to itemize than take the standard deduction? S.J.D., Cheyenne, Mont.
A. It's not a question of what's "better" if you don't qualify. In lieu of taking the standard deduction ($6,100 on 2013 returns), your daughter can itemize deductions only if her total deductions exceed the standard amount. This includes deductions for charitable gifts, mortgage interest, state income taxes, etc. After adding up the deductions on Schedule A, she will find out if she's allowed to itemize and claim the higher amount. Otherwise, your daughter is stuck with the standard deduction, at least for this year.
Tip: The standard deduction increases to $6,200 in 2014.

I have said it more than once: I adore Palm Springs in California. Love love love love. Yes, I really do. For the last 8 years, no exception, Mr. O and I head to this beautiful part of the world once a year, every year. No ifs or buts. We just go.
It is one of my favourite places in the world – and we really have a routine, with our favourite places to shop and eat, and things to do. Every year is the same – and we love it.
But this year, the lovely people at the Greater Palm Springs CVB wanted to challenge my taste buds – things do change from year to year and there were some exciting new openings in the wining and dining front. And the shopping. But thankfully, no changes in the 'sleeping and reading by the pool all day every day'. Small mercies.
So I was ready to eat, and went on an interesting culinary journey around the Palm Springs Desert – starting in Rancho Mirage, moving on to Palm Springs, Palm Desert and La Quinta, four of the nine 'Desert Cities' which make up Greater Palm Springs.
Feeling hungry? Here are some of the yummiest places in town (seriously, I did not have a bad meal).
Workshop Bar + Kitchen, Palm Springs
I really did not know what to expect and believe me, I was wowed from the moment I walked in. This workshop place was totally up my street and full of surprises. We were surprised to see it completely packed on a Monday, testament to its reputation. I loved the classic cocktails with a very unique twist, but I can't tell you how much I actually enjoyed the food. I was not expecting to eat brussels sprouts in this part of the world – and the octopus carpaccio really threw me. The lamb chops were also to die for. And the wine selection? Yes please. I stayed faithful to my 'wine miles' concept which wasn't 100% easy as the wine menu features some very very interesting world wines. A place I will go back to, for sure. Visit website.
Figue Mediterranean, La Quinta
Also a newcomer to the Desert dining scene, Figure Mediterranean was one of the highlights of our stay. Chef Francoise and manager Frederic's charm offensive started when we walked through the door – and did not end until we could not move. I love mediterranean cuisine (for obvious reasons), but I am also a bit wary of how it is interpreted. Francoise is a real European and cooking is in his and his family's blood. Figue had one of the sexiest doors I have ever seen (and I won't share a photo – you will need to get there and have a look yourself). The food was also incredible – I was very partial to the lamb tartare (oh my) and the kuni kuni pork. The wine selection was also outstanding – and with a lot more American wines. We fell in love with some Oregon and Washington reds (and cheated on California, but at least they were all American wines). And lots of figs everywhere, which I adore. I cannot wait to go back. Visit website.
Pinzimini, Rancho Mirage
Interestingly, we always stay at the Westin Mission Hills – it is a beautiful property and we love the villas. We tried the restaurant many moons ago and were not inspired at all – so it was interesting to go back. The hotel is trying hard to make this a destination restaurant, namely for non hotel guests and a lot of work has been done in the inside – it does look quite smart indeed. We had a good meal – very Italian with an Chef's tasting platter and an incredible bistecca alla Fiorentina paired with an incredible Amarone, selected by Dan, the manager (I did fail on my wine miles but it was for a good reason).
Sadly, we ate outside (as the weather was so fab) and we lost out. The outside area is quite uninspiring and the lighting does not do it any justice – it did feel like a nondescript hotel restaurant, which was a real shame. The food was good – and I would consider going back if there were some layout and decor changes. It is interesting how it all makes a difference. Visit website.
Las Casuelas Nuevas, Rancho Mirage
A very casual Mexican restaurant, hacienda-style of course, which has been around for over 20 years in this part of the world. And we had no idea! After so much eating during the week, it was actually a very nice change of scenery – and I loved to see how many Mexican customers the restaurant had. My love affair with Mexican food is only a couple of years old, but I have to say, it continued. And those mango margaritas.. well… mas, por favor. Visit website.
It was also very interesting to discover that one of our favourite restaurants in town, Cork Tree (with possibly the best wine selection in the area – read about it here) is also owned by the same family. We did not get a chance to visit this time, but surely will when we are next in town.
Because I always go back to the desert – we went once by mistake, and have been going back every year ever since.

From Palm Springs, I headed to Los Angeles, for a completely different type of weekend. You can read all about it here.

Lot's of missing commas, couple run ons and a couple sentences that read awkwardly. Good luck! It's a shame people call this good writing. It will be better for you to hunt for the mistakes. This way you will grow as a writer instead of people POSing and saying "good review" because, it agrees with their opinion. Honestly, last post on this site. Everyone on here are super elitist and bandwagon (and then insult people who disagree). Sorry excuse for a music review site. No room for anyone's opinions unless it matches the bandwagoners. Have fun being stuck on this site not growing as a writer.
Gotta love a guy who once rhymed YEAH with YEAH. Genius
This guy comes off like he's trying too hard to push this certain prepackaged image of weird that just seems forced.

LENNOXVILLE, QC — Montreal Alouettes pivot Troy Smith has accomplished a lot in his football career.
He was a four-star high school recruit coming out of Columbus, OH. where he was then recruited by his home-state school, Ohio State University. In his five-year career with the Buckeyes, Smith won a Heisman Trophy as the Nation's best player, and led the school to the National Championship game.
"What impressed me the most, is the fact that when Troy got out there he was just expected to watch and see what this league is all about. But of course, with all the injuries, he was kind of forced and thrown into a situation, but he preformed."
– Anthony Calvillo on Troy Smith
But what does that all mean to present-day Troy Smith, as he continues to compete at Alouettes training camp at Bishop's University?
"Ohio State has nothing to do with being in Lennoxville, Quebec. It has nothing to do with Montreal, Quebec. It has nothing to do with the Montreal Alouettes," said Smith. "This is a totally different situation, so you need to treat it that way."
As you can tell by Smith's response, he doesn't feel as if he's earned the number one job in Montreal by simply having a recognizable name. And despite finishing last year's condensed campaign with impressive numbers, he still feels like he has work to do.
In three starts during the regular season, Smith passed for 781 yards, eight touchdown passes and accomplished this with a 53.9 completion percentage.
Not bad for any first year QB in the CFL.
Smith's predecessor Anthony Calvillo was impressed with what he saw from the rookie last season.
"What impressed me the most, is the fact that when Troy got out there he was just expected to watch and see what this league is all about," Calvillo told CFL.ca on Wednesday.
"But of course, with all the injuries, he was kind of forced and thrown into a situation, but he preformed," added pro football's all-time leading passer.
Smith is seemingly primed to become Montreal's new official starting quarterback, though he'll have to continue battling with Tanner Marsh as training camp progresses.
Asked whether or not he feels any pressure in being compared to one of the all-time greats in Calvillo, Smith could only take it as a compliment.
"No, if anything there was a time that no one knew my name and they weren't saying anything. So if you're bringing my name up in the same breath as Anthony Calvillo, I feel okay."
As happy as Smith was during his first year with the Alouettes, he understands that the organization isn't used to mediocrity. After registering just eight wins and being eliminated in the Eastern Semi-Final, Smith hopes to get the Als back in the championship conversation.
"I know a little bit of the (Alouettes) history. We definitely got to pick up on the good foot," said a confident Smith.
Smith knows he needs to maintain pace the offence played towards the end of last year, and continue to put points on the board. But he acknowledges it's not all on his shoulders.
"I know that it isn't all on me. I have 11 other guys around out there on the field that do a tremendous job of being where they're suppose to be," Smith said.
"I think they take pride in being professional also, so they make my job easy, it's not all on me."
It seems that both Smith and Calvillo are in agreement that it isn't all on the second year quarterbacks shoulders.
"Not everything is on his (Smith's) shoulders, because ( the Alouettes) just have too much talent," commented Calvillo.
On paper, the passing attack looks to be very formidable and deep in talent.
SJ Green will aim to register his fourth-straight 1,000-yard receiving season. His partner in crime Jamel Richardson is hoping to stay healthy and be the downfield threat that he was from 2008-2012. Duron Carter, meanwhile, will try to continue on his rapid path towards stardom, after posting incredible numbers during his rookie campaign.
And with the additions of Dave Stala and the possibility of Chad Johnson joining the receiving corps, Smith will have a wealth of options to work with.
"I'm like a kid in a candy store right now," Smith said during Montreal's mini-camp in April.

'Holographic' videoconferencing moves nearer to market
More: Read a longer version of this article
WHAT began as an optical illusion to thrill Victorians could one day be at the forefront of videoconferencing. London-based firm Musion says its life-size "holograms" could bring together people on opposite sides of the world in a way that no competing technology can.
In the 19th century, Henry Dircks and John Pepper developed a ghostly illusion. A viewer peers into a room; a near-identical version of this main room lies outside their line of sight and a large sheet of glass is secretly angled between the two. When light falls on characters in the hidden room, they are reflected onto the glass and appear to the viewer as ghostly spectres in the main room.
Musion has replaced the unwieldy sheets of glass with a 100-micrometre-thick transparent polyester foil, and switched the live actors for a digital light-processing (PLD) projector. The action is

For once, it looks as if the best place to look for a job was Detroit – employers in the state of Michigan added 27,800 jobs in July, more than any other state. Most of the big gains were in the north of the country, with Massachusetts, New York and Minnesota trailing the Wolverine State.
Manufacturing jobs nationally increased by 36,000, marking the seventh consecutive month of gains. General Motors – which is on the verge of its (second) initial public offering – didn't even shut down factories for the summer, when it typically retools its equipment.
Overall, the economic recovery remains weak and uneven – though the jobless rate nationally remains stuck at 9.5 percent, there are huge variations. Nevada has nearly 15 percent employment, while in North Dakota, it's just 3.6 percent.
If you're a young worker thinking about buying a house, you may want to wait – consumer sentiment on the real estate market is turning negative again. With unemployment so high, many houses are going for a song – but it's likely that if conditions worsen, they'll drop in price again.

Our Story
Parent Infant Partnership (PIP) UK is a national charity (Registered Charity No: 1152802) and umbrella organisation to a network of PIPs who provide specialist clinical services to infants and their families.
PIP UK was founded in 2012 by Andrea Leadsom MP alongside the 1001 Critical Days Manifesto to realise a vision to give every baby the best possible start in life.
The need for PIP services across all areas of the UK is acute. They provide an essential component to a preventative strategy for better mental health outcomes across the lifespan. International research clearly demonstrates the case for investing early into human potential. Currently only 1% of the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAHMS) budget is spent on the under 2s, and none at all on bumps.
Our Three Main Pillars:
1.To support practitioners and organisations to set up PIP services and monitor the effective delivery of local PIPs objectives, which are as follows:
- Create and manage a quality standard for specialist infant- parent clinical services through researched therapeutic methods and practice based evidence
- Create a sound data base of the outcomes for the child of specialised infant mental health services, based on a range of appropriate assessments.
- Channel funds for the delivery of specialist infant- parent clinical services to projects that meet these objectives and standards.
- Endorse and signpost quality training for parent infant practitioners.
- Endorse and signpost quality training and support for the early years' workforce
- Provide specialised training and consultation to the early years' workforce in areas where a PIP team has been established.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of specialist infant-parent clinical services in terms of public health, social and economic outcomes.
3. To promote specialist infant - parent clinical services as a critical element of perinatal and early year's intervention at a policy and political level, through effective lobbying and collaboration with other organisations.
The cost of not providing early help for infant-parent relationship support is considerable: babies and their families suffer, costs to taxpayers rise and society loses the potential of another individual.
• 39% of first time fathers have high levels of distress in the first year of their child's life
• 50% of women with perinatal mental health problems are not identified or treated.
• 26% of babies in the UK have a parent affected by domestic violence, mental health or substance misuse.
A radical change is required to our approach to the 1001 critical days: conception to age 2 period to give every baby the best possible start in life. Evidence shows it is vitally important to ensure that the baby achieves its optimum development and nurturing during this peak period of growth, as the foundations of the babies' mind are being put in place.
Economic Case
Earlier this year The London School of Economics and Centre for Mental Health carried our research in the UK on The Costs of Perinatal Mental Health which showed that perinatal depression, anxiety and psychosis carries a total long-term cost to society of about £8.1 billion for each one-year cohort of births in the UK.
Key findings in this report are:
• Taken together, perinatal depression, anxiety and psychosis carry a total long-term cost to society of about £8.1 billion for each one-year cohort of births in the UK. This is equivalent to a cost of just under £10,000 for every single birth in the country.
• Nearly three-quarters (72%) of this cost relates to adverse impacts on the child rather than the mother.
• Over a fifth of total costs (£1.7 billion) are borne by the public sector, with the bulk of these falling on the NHS and social services (£1.2 billion).
• The average cost to society of one case of perinatal depression is around £74,000, of which £23,000 relates to the mother and £51,000 relates to impacts on the child.
• Perinatal anxiety (when it exists alone and is not co-morbid with depression) costs about
£35,000 per case, of which £21,000 relates to the mother and £14,000 to the child.
• Perinatal psychosis costs around £53,000 per case, but this is almost certainly a substantial under-estimate because of lack of evidence about the impact on the child; costs relating to the mother are about £47,000 per case, roughly double the equivalent costs for depression and anxiety
Maternal depression and anxiety, which often occur together, are at least as common during pregnancy as they are in the year after childbirth. Recent advances in neuroscience and other disciplines clearly suggest that psychological distress during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for a range of adverse outcomes in the child.
Nobel Laureate Economist James Heckman
James J. Heckman is the Henry Schultz Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, a Nobel Memorial Prize winner in economics and an expert in the economics of human development. Through the university's Center for the Economics of Human Development, he has conducted ground breaking work with a consortium of economists, developmental psychologists, sociologists, statisticians and neuroscientists showing that quality early childhood development heavily influences health, economic and social outcomes for individuals and society at large. Heckman has shown that there are great economic gains to be had by investing in early childhood development.
Anyone looking for upstream solutions to the biggest problems facing the UK should look to Nobel Prize-winning University of Chicago economics professor James Heckman's work to understand the great gains to be had by investing in the early and equal development of human potential.
In the UK two leading politicians, one which is a Patron of PIP UK, Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP, alongside Graham Allen, MP for Nottingham North were seeking real solutions to real life problems and worked together to produce the report Early Intervention: Good Parents, Great Kids, Better Citizens which calls on an early intervention and preventative strategy for our local communities.
Numerous reports have since followed which show the economic case for investing early to break cycles of deprivation, poverty and inequality in the UK. As Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer states in the 1001 Critical Days Manifesto " The current economic situation makes early intervention seem challenging. This manifesto recognises that without a focus on prevention and early intervention the costs associate with managing these issues will continue to rise.

Building your company with the right tools
In today's age, no contractor would think of taking on a project without their power tools. Paradoxically, though, many construction companies still use manual accounting methods to try to build their business. Smaller contractors frequently attempt to cut costs by using pen and paper almost exclusively. Larger companies often have a hodgepodge of unconnected software programs that may not have been designed specifically for the unique needs of contractors.
Having inadequate software tools yields similar results to being under-equipped on the job site. It takes longer to get things done, the results are not as good, and it's more expensive in the long run. While a nailgun may cost 10 times as much as a hammer, every contractor will make the investment in order get jobs done in a fraction of the time, ensure consistent results, and bring labor costs down. Of course, the same logic applies to software. Today, successful contracting businesses are making the decision to prepare themselves with the right tools to effectively manage their construction accounting.
The value of integrated construction accounting software
But many construction companies who have invested in accounting software still may find themselves struggling with inefficient processes. In cases where investments in software failed to deliver the expected results, skepticism towards additional investment is a fairly natural result. One of the main culprits for inefficiency is the lack of a single integrated system. Many companies start off with less expensive bookkeeping systems. The natural tendency is to try to find "work-arounds" where the main system comes up short. After a while, there's often the official books and a whole other set of financial data tracked on paper and in spreadsheets. Because data is not centralized, it's difficult for decision-makers to make sound business decisions. Many businesses struggle to keep up with schedules for labor and equipment usage, expected cash in- and out-flows, and even the completion status of a job in progress. Of course, without accurate info in these areas, it's nearly impossible to maximize the profitability of job scheduling and resource allocation.
Software designed with the contractor in mind
The good news is that the software industry has responded to these challenges with software programs designed specifically for the unique needs of contractor businesses. Construction accounting software packages speak a language that is familiar to companies in the industry. These packages naturally handle basic accounting tasks such as receiving payment, paying bills, and creating top level financial reports. But they also address construction specific issues such as: work in progress, percentage of completion, retainage, job costing, estimated vs. actuals reporting, job profitability, project management, and change orders.
There are a number of signs that you can look for to see if it is time to increase the power of the software tools you use to ensure your company's efficiency and profitability.
How to tell if you might need construction accounting software
Construction accounting software may provide an answer to increasing productivity and revenues, if you:
- Experience difficulty assessing job profitability before or after jobs,
- Re-enter the same data in multiple areas,
- Have trouble easily scheduling labor and equipment,
- Find yourself waiting for materials, equipment, and labor to become available to perform work,
- Are unable to determine when a job will be completed,
- Struggle with disappearing profit margins when the full costs of a job are calculated.
Taking the next steps
Construction software is has a number of unique features and finding the right solution for your type and size of business can be difficult. If you are at the point where you are ready to find which construction software options are right for you, we can help.

Hello everyone,
I just joined the forum because I'm getting back in to fly fishing after a 5 year hiatus (sp?). I grew up in Houston, TX and have fished ever since I could hold a rod with a fish on the other end (I have pictures of me at age 3 with bass and bluegill). My grandmother in Vicksburg, MS taught me how to fish and I spent my summers growing up with her hopping from one farm pond to another. I fished in lots of bass tournaments growing up and when I went to college in Nacogdoches, TX I started flyfishing after visiting an outdoor shop called Backcountry in Tyler, TX. I fished for bass in many ponds and lakes in the East Texas area (behind the Pine Curtain)with my sit-on-top kayak every chance I got and learned to tie flies as well. My wife and I decided to move up to St. Louis, MO for me to pursue a masters degree but after a year or so I decided to hold off on school and just 'live' for a while. But when we moved here I sold everything I could to help fund our move (including my kayak, rods, tying kit, etc., etc.:icon_frow - but I kept my flies). But for father's day this year, my wonderful wife bought me a new 5wt TFO outfit because I'd been hankering some fly fishing! She did this in cahoots with my best friend (who's a fly fisher also) as a complete surprise.
I'm now in the process of finding the best bluegill water I can within an hour of the St. Louis area and am open to suggestions! I've been to several 'city ponds' in the great little parks around here and am going to give the Busch Wildlife (30+ lakes of varying sizes open to the public) area a try in the morning. I'd like to try trout fishing too, but would like to ease back into flyfishing with the thing I'm familiar with - warmwater fishing.
I didn't read some of the other 'introductions' so I hope I've given the right sort of information!
Anyway, I'm glad to be a part of this group - it seems like a great group of people that I look forward to getting to know better.
Let me know if any of you live in my area and maybe we can go fishing sometime!

In the latest and most surprising novel in the best-selling Leonid McGill series, Leonid finds himself caught between his sins of the past and an all-too-vivid present.
Seven years ago, Zella Grisham came home to find her man, Harry Tangelo, in bed with her friend. The weekend before, $6.8 million had been stolen from Rutgers Assurance Corp., whose offices are across the street from where Zella worked. Zella didn't remember shooting Harry, but she didn't deny it either. The district attorney was inclined to call it temporary insanity - until the police found $80,000 from the Rutgers heist hidden in her storage space.
For reasons of his own, Leonid McGill is convinced of Zella's innocence. But as he begins his investigation, his life begins to unravel. His wife is drinking more than she should. His oldest son has dropped out of college and moved in with an ex-prostitute. His youngest son is working for him and trying to stay within the law. And his father, whom he thought was long dead, has turned up under an alias.
A gripping story of murder, greed, and retribution, All I Did Was Shoot My Man is also the poignant tale of one man's attempt to stay connected to his family.
Crack another case with Leonid McGill.
©2012 Walter Mosley (P)2012 Penguin
"I have fallen in love again!"
Althrough Leonid is flawed and has a past he is still attractive in a clumsy hero sort of way. I love your voice Mirron WIllis and secretly wait for the day that you will read me 1000 page bookle based on the adventures of Leonid McGill!
Any of the ohter book in this series The Long Fall was nice.
The scene when the would be robbers broke into what he thought was his safe home. BAD Idea.
When he talked to his father for the first time since he left him as a boy. Something about the rejection you feel for years only to learn that the person so near and never reached out to you. Tears.
Wonderful Story!
"Put me to sleep"
I will always read Walter Mosley but there needs to be a change in the reader.
Leonid McGill
I would but I would rather not.
Read more audio books I guess.
Mirron Willis is not very good at performing in this venue. I would rather hear someone else even though the story is a good one.
"Perhaps the best of the series."
*NOTE: SPOILER INCLUDED (if you've read the previous book "When the Thrill", then it's not a spoiler)
I have long been a fan of Walter Mosley, and perhaps the only one I know of who liked Leonid McGill almost as much as Easy Rawlins from the start. This is because, though Easy tells a more base, raw story (having a racist, Civil-Rights world around him), Leonid is much more multi-faceted and complex, with a highly intelligent voice and dealing with many more problems than Easy. For this reason, McGill stands as the more relevant of the two heroes, if not the more popular. Hopefully (if Mosley gets his wish) Jeffrey Wright can bring McGill to HBO's small screen with all the intelligence Mosley has poured onto his pages. "All I Did" has been criticized as being too convoluted a story, but if you read it quickly, you won't get lost, and Mosley keeps you reading quickly. Every member of McGill's family brings problems for him to solve (the wife is a drunk, his oldest son moves out, his daughter is sleeping with an older married man, and his criminal genius youngest child works for him but makes his own decisions on his first case). Not to mention he has to solve a decades-old robbery, keep himself and his client alive, and is still searching for a father who has been resurrected*. And why should it not be this way? Don't we all have a myriad of trials and victories each day we live?
Mosley weaves his six or seven subplots better than most, and gives us a hero we can believe in, because despite his external windmills, this dark-skinned Quixote is a man from our time, seeking the same redemption we are all searching for (as Americans, as humans)...to be ever better than we were the day before.
Mirron Willis, though he emphasizes EVERY letter, reads clearly, with the intelligence deserving of Leonid McGill's voice.
With further character and story development, and leaving us with a cliff-hanger ending, this is the best of the series thus far.
"Lone Wolf and Life"
Good read...Good performance!
Mosely in his genre! Gritty with danger, anger and a heart beat rhythm.
"Learn quick why she shot her man"
I always enjoy Walter Mosley's stories. This one was good, but I feel as though the story is a transitional piece between two other books. There is much history behind this story and Mosley tries to make sure the listener knows some of it. Why Zella shot her man is revealed early in the story. Good for her. Mystery solved early. However, some other pieces of the story are not as clear. I am concerned about LT's wife. LT's father and his brother. No answers here, but perhaps possible storylines for other stories. Which is a good thing. Mirron Willis as narrator is outstanding. Love his voice which is perfect for LT. Makes me laugh when impersonating the wife though. The foreign accent is a hoot. LT is no EZ Rawlings but a nice substitute or change with a different kind of craziness. I will probably listen to the story again before moving on to the one in the series. Really good story if one does not try to analyze the heck of the motivations of the characters. Don't think, just sit back and enjoy. 4 stars because the ending bought no closure for me.
"Walter never seems to disappoint me. Amazing!"
Mirron Willis really knows how to bring the multidimensional characters to life. I can't get enough of Walter and the delivery of Mirron. Keep them coming.
"Well Done!"
I loved the entire performance . . . the narrator, the story line were absolutely riveting! Thank you!
"Compelling and Confusing"
The story was compelling, as I have come to expect from Walter Moseley, but recaps of previous McGill adventures are delivered with too little consideration for readers who, like me, have not visited McGill's world in awhile, or worse, those who might be starting the series out of sequence. This issue, coupled with the dysfunction in McGill's personal and professional lives, makes this book a challenging one with which to remain engaged.
"I really like this series!"
A good steady pace of not necessarily action, but interesting events.
Two surprises, one concerning his dad and the other his wife.
His various voices. His transitions between character voices is smooth and fairly distinct.
No not really, but good for a few grins
Mosely does it again.
The story was great from beginning to end.
He has made me a McGill fan.
I love the title already.

Yamaichi offers a test & burn-in socket with ultra fine pitch for BGA/CSP
Post a comment
Munich, Germany The continuous miniaturization of mobile applications and the resulting shrinking of module sizes requires ever smaller pitches. This miniaturization also presents a challenge to the socket manufacturers, as not only the reliability, but also the processing capability of the contact systems for Test & Burn-In applications must be ensured. Yamaichi Electronics used Compression Mount Technology (CMT) for its BGA/CSP 0.4 mm pitch socket from the NP437 series , as it can be realized without any great effort in comparison to Through Hole (TH) or Surface Mount Technology (SMT). The flexible buckling beam contacts are pressed onto the bond surfaces of the PCB, which is brought about by screwing the socket on the PCB. The ball bonds of the IC are also contacted by means of the buckling beam which is extremely space-saving due to it being vertically pressed on, and which also possesses excellent mechanical load qualities. Possible effects of the larger pin length on the electrical characteristics are negligible, as the semi-conductor device to be contacted operate in the "low current range" and the burn-in is carried out at "low frequency".

AIKEN — Cot Campbell wasn't that surprised Saturday.
A few hundred people turned out on a cold and overcast day to watch Palace Malice gallop at the Aiken Training Track.
The prized colt of Dogwood Stable won the Belmont Stakes in June and came home to Aiken in November after the Breeders' Cup. He's regularly drawn more than 100 people to the track to see him graze or get in a light workout over the past two months.
"I think it's astonishing," said Campbell, the president of Dogwood Stable. "People are so grateful that we've brought them into it. How could we do anything else? It's wonderful. I bet there's 400 or 500 people."
Palace Malice ships out this morning for Palm Meadows Training Center in Boynton Beach, Fla. He'll be under the supervision of trainer Todd Pletcher and will begin preparing for his 4-year-old campaign.
Campbell said the plan is for the colt to get an allowance race in early March and then run in the New Orleans Handicap on March 29.
Campbell and Ron Stevens, who worked with Palace Malice when he arrived in Aiken as a 2-year-old, think the colt could be primed for a big year.
"There's every reason to think that," Campbell said. "He's always acted like a horse where the older he gets the better he's going to get. I think he'll have a great year. He's sound as he can be, thank God, and if stays that way he'll be salty, I believe."
Palace Malice was scheduled to breeze ³⁄8 of a mile Monday but that was scrapped because of the rain and condition of the track. Instead, he galloped in front of about 50 people.
Campbell said he was pleased with Palace Malice's stay in Aiken. Although the colt's year ended on a down note when he finished sixth in the Breeders' Cup Classic, he garnered national attention late in the summer with a win in the Jim Dandy Stakes and a second-place showing in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
"He's amazing because he's not lost much condition at all," Campbell said. "I think you could take this horse and breeze him 5⁄8 of a mile right now and he'd handle it. I couldn't be more tickled with him. He may have put on a few pounds since he's been here but he came in in good shape. I believe Todd Pletcher's going to be delighted when he sees him."
After his Saturday gallop, Stevens walked Palace Malice over to see the public. The colt eagerly ate peppermints from outstretched hands.
When Palace Malice won the Belmont, Campbell quipped on national television that the people in Aiken would be "dancing in the streets."
"Now they're shivering in the cold after they've danced in the streets," Campbell said with a laugh. "But it's very rewarding. The town and the region has taken to the horse, and they feel like they own the horse and it means a lot to us."

OBITUARY - HENSLEY -- Feb'y 4th, 1880, at the residence of A.B. HENSLEY,
William HENSLEY, in the 90th year of his age.
Mr. HENSLEY would have been 90 years of age if he had lived till the
second of March next. He came to this county from .p.St. Louis county,
Mo;., in 1837, and resided here ever since. For the last sixty years he
lived a faithful Christian life, being a member of the Baptist church.
"By reason of strength" he had passed the age of three score and ten,
and nearly another score of years had been added to his days, when,
having completed his term of prohibition, he "fell on asleep," and is
"gathered to his fathers." Among his descendants and relatives are
numbered many of our most respected citizens, and though they might not
expect to reach the advanced age allotted him, his virtuous Christian
life is a good example for them to imitate.

I have started to study shared memory to communicate between processes .
I have noticed that a semaphore is associated when i create a shared memory.
My question is: is that semaphore just for the internal functions or can i use it to my advantage to, by example make a child process wait until the father writes to the memory segment?
Thank You

"He's going to announce a commitment to Michigan," four star athlete Steve Breaston's brother David said moments ago.
"He's going to announce it at 10:00 this morning at his high school. Pitt was probably second."
Breaston, a 6-foot-2 and 170 pounder at Pittsburgh (Pa.) Woodland Hills, played quarterback and defensive back, but will likely be a wide receiver or defensive back at Michigan. A few weeks back he said the Wolverines were recruiting him as an "athlete." Breaston has a 3.0 GPA and scored an 890 on the SAT.

A soldier has died after an accident in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said last night, and an investigation has been launched. The soldier, from 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, was fatally wounded in an incident at the British base in Sangin, in Helmand province. The MoD said the death was a "tragic accident" and it had not occurred through any enemy action. No details would be released until the Royal Military police had finished their investigation. The death is the 55th fatality among British forces personnel in Afghanistan since operations began in November 2001.

Two-year degrees could be on offer by 2010
Fast-track degrees enabling students to complete a three-year course in two by studying through the summer vacation could become a mainstream part of university education from 2010, the higher education minister for England, Bill Rammell, predicted last night. Mr Rammell is visiting Staffordshire University today, where 18 law students and six geography students are in their first year of the experiment. They will attend a two-week summer school, followed by internet-based learning and independent study, with two- or three-week breaks at Christmas, Easter and in May-June.

Ministers 'breached own rules' on weapons sales
The Blair government has repeatedly breached its own guidelines on arms exports by selling weapons to countries with bad human rights records, says a report by Saferworld, an independent thinktank. Labour has tightened export controls on arms sales but it has flouted its own criteria, as the blocking of a Serious Fraud Office inquiry into BAE Systems deals with Saudi Arabia demonstrated, says the report. In the three years up to 2006, arms exports were approved to 19 of 20 states identified as "countries of concern", including Colombia and Israel.

Owls get the sack, Harry Potter gets a set of stamps
The avalanche of letters that helped free Harry Potter from his cruel step-parents is to find a strange parallel in the real world. Royal Mail is to issue a set of Potter-themed stamps that will be stuck on to a flurry of letters and sent into millions of homes across the country. On July 17 Royal Mail will issue a series of seven stamps depicting the colourful covers of each of the books in JK Rowling's series. The commemorative designs will be released to coincide with the July 21 launch of the last of the Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
