Hello guys, before 2 days facebook show me a message for malware test at all my 105 facebook accounts in the same time after i beginning the test 1 by one i managed to save only the 10 first accounts was more aged and PVA. After this facebook started to asking for ID varification and i was not able to pass this so 95 accounts rested in peace.
I will explain a few more about my accounts and their activity
I have 4 blogs + 4 facebook fan pages + 5 facebook groupsso i need the accounts for post shares + send invites for fanpage likes + invites to my groups
I use US private proxies for all of my accounts and share GREEK POSTS to GREEK GROUPSI run up 4 accounts per proxy
40 first accounts activity
Share Posts: 3 different links from my blogs to 8 random groups per day every 6-8 hours that is total 24 shares per day ( for every blog i share from 10 same accounts every day from the same fanpage via share post use the facebook link)Adding up to 40 friends per day in my groups per accountSending 100 invites for fanpages likes per day per accountaccepting friends request 20-40 per operation with total 100 per day per account5 Random Wall Posts per account per day via RSS from different rss feed funny thinks / videos etc.
next 20 accounts
No Share ON GROUPS yet5 Random Wall Posts per account per day via RSS from different rss feed funny thinks / videos etc.accepting friends request 20-40 per operation with total 100 per day per accountAfter 7 days of the other activity i start adding up to 40 friends per day in my groups per accountStart to adding the accounts to groups after 7 days activity 5-10 groups per day with invites from other accounts and not with sending request
The other 45 Accounts no activity only cover photo profile picture and basic info 0 friend , 0 groups
That is all !!
I'm looking for solution here because i have lost so much work and i don't want this happen again
Looking forward for your opinions at the follow:
What do you think I do wrong and lost my accounts?
why may they CLOSED and accounts without any activity?
Do you suggest me some any better tactic?
How facebook managed to find all of my accounts at the same time ?
Thank you in advance !
Best regardsMike
I think the problem was that you were sharing the same links, they started to catch on to that.
Sorry to hear about your accounts, if you have some money to spend you can try to get some of them back though, people on fiver can do the id verifications for your, i think on other places as well..
But how can you explain about the accounts with no activity?
I don't share the same link just 1 post-link per account
not sure if I get it clear. did you add/invite to same 5 facebook groups on all accounts?
Accounts with no activity gets banned due to many various reasons.
Proxy on the same subnet.Registration method
Off the top of my head, but there's just too many to list.
I know for one, my IG gets banned after letting it idle, no traceable records other than because of the name or picture it's using.
For facebook, you gotta add 100x more point of failure to be able to catch what you did wrong.
The way to do it, is to think, how unique is my account. How do they differ from each other. Then you will be able to pinpoint a point of failure. Sometimes, it's just 1. Other times, its more than 1 variable. But realistically, they just needed 1 variable to link all accounts together.
So lets say you get flagged on multiple occasions on that IP, they will then extend the flag to other IP on the same subnet. If they find it a real nuisance, they will go far back to how the accs are created. So you got the accs from only 1 seller, and they identified the pattern. Your other accs are linked to your untouched accs. The moment you put them online, regardless of where, it's actually already dead along with your active accs.
Your answer is very helpful and gave me reason to think differently how Create and how i operate my accounts. perhaps my mistake is that my accounts have same activity so my accounts maybe looks same because i have all this accounts moderators at the same groups and activity is so similar. I will start to create my accounts looks unique i will not add the accounts to same groups as a moderators , i will not link the accounts together like friends. I believe about the new accounts without any activity i get banned because the subnet was the same.
If you have any more opinions that will be great
Yes that is maybe one of my mistakes i add all accounts to my 5 groups as a moderators
What do you think the workaround for this is then mate? When I'm buying proxies there's no way to know what the subnet is etc? I'm getting idle accounts banned as well, had about 50 banned though, not quite as bad as your ban-wave though .
FWIW, BuyProxies.org advertise how many subnets your proxies will be split between.

I just bought six Asiatic Lily "Tiny Sensation" Lilium Hybrid. Also I'm a New Begging Gardinger. Where can I find some information about this Lily. And the best time to plant, and where to plant it. I had though abought planting it along my drive way, Would that be a good place?
Asiatic Lily and a New Beggineg Gardinger
Did you buy bare-root bulbs or potted plants? In either case, planting them out ASAP will be best, though much more critical if you bought bulbs. Asiatic lilies are extremely hardy and tough and undemanding... the most important considerations are full sun, and avoid any place where there might be standing water. That's about it!
This message was edited May 10, 2012 4:36 PM
Another point.....add peat moss to the hole and mix with backfill. Also plant a few inches deeeper that listed.
Asiatic are wonderful for multipling. Leave at least 1/3 of the stem til after frost, carefully tug the stem. You should find many new baby bulbils have formed along the stem where it was in contact with the mother bulb, plant back in around the mother bulb just below the soils surface. It will probably take two years for the first blooms to appear. In approx five years you will have a nice patch, approx. 3ft X 3ft, having started from approx 5 bulbs. ( The stems of Asiatics will have bulbs and bulbils along the stem (underground), some may have even already seperated, those still connected gently pry off.
If you're looking for another great multipling lily, try Tiger lilies (the ones with the spots on the petals), these not only form new bulbs along the stem (underground) but they also form bulbils along the stems at the leaf nodes. As the summer goes on these will drop to the soil and sprout. When they form the first set of roots they atuomatically get pulled down to the proper depth, (magic).
Pix: my border, 45x100ft, just waking up for the seasom, last week. God, I hope to see some of my lillies blooming this year, not sure tho, there was a herd of deer in the garden this evening, D>>>!!!!!!!!

Unanswered: How to include table name in query field name
Is there a way to have Access 2003 automatically include the table name in the query field name when building a select query?
I'm building a db that will have users with only basic Access knowledge building select queries. They want to have unique field names in the query but many of the table fields have the same names (not linked fields). I don't want to have them have to rename the query fields each time. I could add a table identifier to the field names of the tables but this makes long field names.

you need the table name if there are columns with the same name in more than one table, so that JET explicitly knows which column to retrieve
you will always need the table names in the from statement AND any JOIN (or where clauses where you specify the realtionship in the query).
however I don't see this as too serious a problem as most of the data is available if you query the tabledefs objects.... that should provide you with the information you need, and also include the tables.I'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

healdem, i think he means that he wants the query to automatically provide aliases for similarly-named columns
so instead of --
SELECT foo.thisname , foo.thatname , bar.thisname , bar.thatname FROM ...
SELECT foo.thisname AS foo_thisname , foo.thatname AS foo_thatname , bar.thisname AS bar_thisname , bar.thatname AS bar_thatname FROM ...rudy.ca | @rudydotca

Lawrence's Westlake Ace Hardware part of $88 million sale; customers not expected to notice changes at local stores
The nuts and bolts of the operation of Lawrence's two Westlake Ace Hardware stores have changed, but company officials are promising customers won't notice any changes in the, well, nuts and bolts and other items the company sells.
Ace — the giant retail, hardware cooperative based in Oak Brook, Ill. — has purchased the 85-store Westlake chain that operates Lawrence's two stores.
If at this point, you are thinking that Lawrence's two stores have long been named Westlake Ace Hardware, you are correct. But the stores have been owned by Lenexa-based Westlake Hardware, which does its purchasing of inventory through the Ace cooperative.
But the deal, which closed this week, means Ace now owns the Westlake stores. Since Ace long has been the supplier for the stores, product offerings at the store aren't scheduled to change.
A spokeswoman for Ace also told me that there aren't any plans to change store employees or how the stores are operated. No downsizing is anticapted as part of the deal. Shasha Bigda, director of corporate communications for Ace said consumers shouldn't notice anything different at the stores. That includes the name. Bigda said the Westlake brand will continue to be used at the stores.
"That name is well known in the markets it serves," Bigda said.
Reportedly, the deal was worth $88 million, and the terms of the purchase call for Westlake's management team to remain in place and be based in Lenexa. The management team will report to a separate board within the Ace corporate structure.
The deal represents a new strategy for Ace, which like all cooperatives, is owned by the members it serves. In this case, the approximately 4,200 stores the company supplies, each own a piece of the Ace cooperative. But this new deal flips the equation and marks the first time Ace has owned outright a chain of hardware stores.
It will be interesting to see if that strategy continues for Ace, and whether it starts buying out more traditional mom-and-pop hardware stores in future years. Westlake long ago had stopped being what you would think of as a mom-and-pop operation. It was founded as a single store in Huntsville, Mo., in 1905, but by the 1970s it was expanding into other states. It had grown to become the largest dealer in the Ace cooperative.
The company was family-owned until 2006 when the private equity firm Goldner Hawn Johnson and Morrison purchased the company. So, if you want to think of it in simple terms, I think the end result of this deal is that the profits from the Westlake stores now will go to Ace rather than to the private equity firm.
In Lawrence, Westlake operates stores at 23rd and Louisiana streets and at Sixth Street and Kasold Drive.

Good for them. I would think $88 is the value of the fasteners. At least the last time I purchased some in there.
Joshua Montgomery 4 years, 11 months ago
They have all of the fasteners you need though. Other stores don't have the selection of specialty fasteners you sometimes need to do quality work.
It would suck to have them go out of business. Try finding a stainless steel M7 nylon insert lock nut at Home Depot. If Westlake goes away, you'll need to order all of your specialty fasteners online, then wait 2 days.
That's a bummer when you pine box derby car needs to be racing tomorrow.
I've always enjoyed shopping there and wish them the best of luck.
LogicMan 4 years, 11 months ago
I don't think Westlake will go away. But if you can't find your fasteners there, try Fastenal and Orscheln.
Rusty Thomas 4 years, 11 months ago
The last time I needed a hardware item, I went to Cottins on Mass. St. And, if I bought something which did not work, or I discovered I did not need, they happily refunded my money. Everyone at that local, family-owned store is truly helpful. It's like walking back in time. The folks at the Westlake Ace stores operate the same way. Kudos to both operations.
Richard Heckler 4 years, 11 months ago
Cottin's Hardware is a damn good supplier and provider of excellent customer service.
Need power tools? They can get them for you in a jiffy or two.
KiferGhost 4 years, 11 months ago
Time to get worthless private equity firms out of businesses they don't understand or care about. They only live by the crap taught in business schools that doesn't care about anything except squeezing the last penny out of a decent business. Good move Ace taking it back over.
Carol Bowen 4 years, 11 months ago
There was definitely a change when the family sold Westlake's Hardware. Now, everything is shrink wrapped. Can't buy many of the items we bought before. This will probably be like Sunflower to Knology. I'll wait and see, now that Ace has bought the stores.
Carol Bowen 4 years, 11 months ago
We shall see.

This invention relates to microminiature tapered structures and, more particularly, to all-metal structures having ultra-sharp tips.
Microminiature tapered structures have been proposed for use in a variety of applications of practical importance. Thus, for example, such structures in the form of field-emitter cathode tips have been suggested for use in matrix display devices, in scanning electron microscopes and in traveling wave tubes. These tips can also be employed in scanning tunneling microscopes, in atomic force microscopes, as biological probes and as electrodes in a variety of solid state devices.
In a copending commonly assigned application, Ser. No. 551,771, filed July 12, 1990, there is described a technique for making a substantially uniform array of tapered silicon structures, each having a tip that exhibits a radius of curvature of 10 nanometers or less. Although silicon tips made by that technique are advantageous for use in many applications, there are other applications of the type mentioned earlier above in which all-metal tips having the same sharpness and uniformity would be preferred. Relative to silicon, such all-metal tips would provide enhanced mechanical strength, better electrical and thermal conductivity and a different chemical reactivity. It was recognized therefore that all-metal tips of this type, if available, would in many cases provide a basis for improved device performance.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, an array of silicon tips is utilized in effect as a pattern definitive of a desired array of all-metal tips. The silicon tips are covered with a layer of silicon dioxide. The silicon is then removed, leaving a mold made of silicon dioxide. Subsequently, a layer of a suitable metal is deposited in the mold to replicate the original silicon tip array.
Alternately, the layer of silicon dioxide covering the silicon tips is replaced with a layer of silicon nitride or other suitable material. The silicon is then removed, leaving a mold made of silicon nitride or other material. Subsequently, a layer of a suitable metal is deposited in the mold to replicate the original silicon tip array.
A complete understanding of the present invention and of the above and other features thereof will be apparent from a consideration of the detailed description below taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, not drawn to scale, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional depiction of a silicon tip of the type made in accordance with the technique described in the aforecited application;
FIG. 2 shows a FIG. 1-type silicon tip having a relatively thick layer of silicon dioxide formed thereon;
FIG. 3 represents the silicon tip of FIG. 2 with a support structure affixed to the top thereof;
FIG. 4 illustrates the FIG. 3 arrangement with all the silicon removed therefrom;
FIG. 5 depicts the FIG. 4 arrangement with a metal deposited on the underside thereof;
FIG. 6 shows the FIG. 5 arrangement with a support structure affixed to the bottom thereof;
FIG. 7 shows the FIG. 6 arrangement after the top support structure and the layer of silicon dioxide have been removed from the top thereof; and
FIG. 8 is a schematic representation of a portion of an array of metal tips each of the type shown in FIG. 7.
In accordance with the method described in the aforecited application, tapered silicon structures are made using silicon processing technology. A tapered structure made by the described method has, at its tip, a radius of curvature of 10 nanometers or less. Arrays of such structures are specified in the application as being well suited, for example, as electron emitters in display devices.
More specifically, the aforecited application describes the initial formation of flat-topped protuberances on a silicon substrate. Illustratively, the protuberances are formed by standard silicon processing techniques such as isotropic etching (in, for example, a mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acids), by reactive ion etching, or by ion milling. The resulting protuberances each comprise an essentially flat top portion and straight or concave sidewalls. In practice, the width of each flat portion preferably does not exceed about 500 nanometers.
In further accord with the method described in the aforecited application, the flat-topped protuberances are then in effect sharpened by an oxidizing heat treatment. Illustratively, the protuberances are exposed to a dry-oxygen environment, preferably at a temperature not exceeding 1050 degrees Celsius, and preferably with oxygen contributing at least 50 percent and water vapor at most 1 percent of total pressure. Typically, diluent or carrier gases such as helium, argon or nitrogen are used during the exposure. In the interest of an adequate reaction rate for processing times of 2 to 6 hours at ambient pressure, processing is carried out at a temperature of at least approximately 900 degrees Celsius. The use of higher or lower pressures is not precluded. Processing times are inversely related to pressure and temperature.
Subsequently, surface oxide is stripped from the oxidized structure described in the aforecited application. Such stripping is carried out, for example, in concentrated hydrofluoric acid or a buffered hydrofluoric solution. For enhanced sharpness and uniformity of the resulting silicon structure, oxidation processing and stripping may be repeated several times, the preferred number of repetitions being directly related to the original width of the flat-topped protuberances. Optionally, in case protuberances in an initial array are of highly nonuniform shape, processing as described above may be preceded by exposure to a humid environment at a temperature above about 1050 degrees Celsius for times longer than 3 minutes, resulting in more uniform morphology.
Tapered silicon structures made by the method described in the aforecited application include sharp and uniform arrays of needles, cones, pyramids, wedges and ridges. Each of these structures can be characterized by a radius of curvature at an apex of the taper. In the case of needles, cones and pyramids, such termination is approximately spherical, with a well-defined radius of curvature; in the case of wedges or ridges, straight or curvilinear, curvature is determined in a plane perpendicular to a wedge or ridge. In every such structure, there is at least one cross section in which radius of curvature is defined in this fashion.
In further accord with the invention described in the aforecited application, once a sharpened highly uniform array of silicon structures has been produced, it is possible, without loss of uniformity, to decrease apex sharpness by a further high-temperature oxidation treatment. Suitable for that purpose are wet or dry oxidizing environments, preferably at a temperature that exceeds 1050 degrees Celsius. For example, when sharpened protuberances having radii of curvature of 1 nanometer are exposed to water vapor at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes, the radii of curvature increase uniformly to approximately 2.5 nanometers.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, an oxidized silicon structure having a taper of the type specified above is utilized as a precursor of an all-metal tip. An illustrative such precursor, made by the method described in the aforecited application, is depicted in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows a silicon protuberance 10 having an ultra-sharp apex or tip 12. In accordance with the present invention, the shape of the silicon precursor is designed to be as nearly identical as possible to the prescribed shape of the all-metal tip to be formed therefrom. Herein, for purposes of a specific illustrative example, the silicon protuberance 10 will be assumed to constitute a four-sided pyramid having concave sides and an apex 12 having a radius of curvature of approximately 1 nanometer. The height h of each such protuberance of an array of protuberances formed on a silicon substrate is, for example, about 2 micrometers.
FIG. 1 shows a layer 14 of silicon dioxide formed on the entire top surface of the silicon protuberance 10. Illustratively, the depicted layer 14 is so formed during the sharpening procedure described in the aforecited application. By way of example, the thickness t of the layer 14 formed during that procedure is only approximately 1500 Angstrom units. Since such a thickness is relatively fragile and would usually possess insufficient structural integrity by itself to serve as a mold in the inventive procedure described below, it is advantageous to thicken the layer 14. This is done by depositing additional silicon dioxide on the entire top surface of the layer 14. Illustratively, an additional thickness of about 2000 Angstrom units of silicon dioxide is deposited on the layer 14 in a standard chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) step. The resulting structure is represented in FIG. 2, where layer 16 of silicon dioxide has a thickness of approximately 3500 Angstrom units.
Alternatively, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a layer of silicon nitride or other material can be substituted for the silicon dioxide layer 14. More specifically, the layer 14 can, for example, be etched in hydrofluoric acid and replaced with deposited silicon nitride or other material. In that case, the mold layer 16 comprises silicon nitride or other material having a thickness of approximately 3500 Angstrom units. The choice of silicon nitride or another material in place of silicon dioxide is dictated, for example, by the desire to minimize or avoid attacking deposited metal with the etchant utilized subsequently to remove the mold layer.
For purposes of a specific illustrative example, the particular mold layer 16 described below will be assumed to be made of silicon dioxide. But it should be realized that in accordance with this invention other materials (such as silicon nitride) can be substituted therefor if, for example, the etchant used to remove silicon dioxide would be injurious to the deposited metal.
Next, a top support assembly for the FIG. 2 structure is provided. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 3, a suitable such assembly comprises a layer 18 that covers the entire top surface of the silicon dioxide layer 16 and has a thickness that exceeds the height of the depicted protuberance. The assembly also includes a rigid plate member 20. By way of example, the layer 18 comprises wax or an epoxy material, and the member 20 comprises a glass plate.
Subsequently, in accordance with the invention, the supported structure shown in FIG. 3 is then processed to remove the silicon therefrom. Advantageously, such removal is carried out in a series of steps. First, bottom portions of the silicon substrate represented in FIG. 3 are removed by, for example, conventional mechanical abrasion (lapping). Illustratively, all of the bottom silicon is thereby removed to within about 25 micrometers of the silicon-to-silicon dioxide interface in regions between adjacent protuberances. Then additional silicon is removed in a wet etching step in a standard mixture of hydrofluoric, nitric and acetic acids. Such a mixture etches silicon relatively fast while attacking silicon dioxide considerably more slowly. This wet etching step is carried out until, for example, the square-shaped bottom of the pyramidal protuberance 10 is visible. Remaining silicon including the apex of the protuberance 10 is then removed in an etching step that removes silicon while etching silicon dioxide relatively slowly. Numerous conventional etchants that exhibit this property are known in the silicon processing art. One illustrative such etchant comprises a standard potassium hydroxide solution. This solution etches silicon highly selectively relative to silicon dioxide, thereby leaving substantially intact the inside contour of the silicon dioxide layer 16 in the vicinity of the removed silicon apex.
At that point in the herein-described procedure, the structure appears as shown in FIG. 4. The supported layer 16 of silicon dioxide comprises a mold for subsequent deposition therein of a suitable metal. Importantly, the inside shape of the mold, in particular the apex region thereof, constitutes a substantially exact replica of the just-removed silicon protuberance 10.
As indicated in FIG. 5, a layer 22 of a metal is then deposited in the aforedescribed mold made of silicon dioxide. Illustratively, the layer 22 is formed in a sputtering step, in a CVD step or by electroless deposition. Alternatively, if the layer 16 is doped sufficiently to render it conductive, the layer 22 can be formed by conventional electrodeposition techniques.
Advantageously, the layer 22 of FIG. 5 comprises a relatively low-work-function metal such as tungsten, molybdenum or aluminum. Such materials are well suited for forming ultra-sharp all-metal tips for use as field-emissive electron sources. Other metals or combinations of metals (for example, a deposited layer of titanium followed by a deposited layer of gold) are also suitable for casting all-metal tips. Still other metals that are characterized by relatively small grain size and that can be deposited from relatively low-temperature sources are believed to be suited for utilization in the herein-described method.
Next, a bottom support assembly for the FIG. 5 structure is provided. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 6, a suitable such assembly comprises a layer 24 in contact with the entire bottom surface of the layer 22 and a rigid plate member 26. By way of example, the layer 24 comprises a conductive material such as conductive epoxy or a suitable deposited metal such as nickel, and the member 26 comprises a conductive plate made, for example, of doped silicon. In such a case, the plate 26 provides mechanical support for and electrical contact to the depicted tip of the layer 22.
Alternatively, the metal cast into the herein-described silicon dioxide mold may be deposited sufficiently thick so that the cast metal itself serves as a support and electrode for the depicted structure. In that case, the additional layer 24 and plate 26 shown in FIG. 6 are not needed.
The wax or other material that constitutes the layer 18 of the top support assembly shown in FIG. 6 is then removed. Subsequently, the silicon dioxide layer 16 overlying the layer 22 is removed in, for example, a wet etching step utilizing buffered hydrofluoric acid. In this wet etching step, the metal layer 22 is substantially unaffected. The resulting structure, comprising the layer 22 with an ultra-sharp tapered tip 28, is represented in FIG. 7. Illustratively, the radius of curvature of the apex of the tip 28 is approximately 1 nanometer.
FIG. 8 shows the general design of a portion of a specific illustrative display device comprising an array of all-metal ultra-sharp tips of the type described above. Two such tips, designated 30 and 32 in FIG. 8, comprise field-emission cathodes in the depicted device. These tips are mechanically supported by and electrically connected to substrate 34 (which, for example, comprises the layer 24 and the plate member 26 shown in FIG. 7, or comprises an integral substrate made of the same metal as that of the tips).
The illustrative device of FIG. 8 further includes dielectric layers 36 and 38 made, for example, of silicon dioxide, polyimide, or a combination of silicon dioxide and polyimide. Illustratively, each of the layers 36 and 38 is about 1.5 micrometers thick. Gate electrodes 40, each about 0.5 micrometers thick, are made, for example, of titanium, titanium-nickel, titanium-gold, or polycrystalline silicon.
Layer 42 of FIG. 8 is made of a suitable phosphor. Choice of phosphor material depends on the desired color. For example, zinc silicate doped with manganese produces green light when exposed to electrons emitted from the tips 30 and 32. A red display can be obtained by inclusion of europium-doped yttrium-phosphorus-vanadium oxide. These and other choices are well known in the art.
The device shown in FIG. 8 still further includes a transparent conductive anode layer 44 made, for example, of indium-tin oxide. Glass plate 46 constitutes the top-most layer of the depicted display device.
Tips of the type designated 30 and 32 in FIG. 8 may be arranged in one- or two-dimensional arrays. In display devices intended for direct viewing, cathodes comprising such tips typically have a height of 1-to-10 micrometers and are spaced 2-to-20 micrometers apart. Illustratively, the spacing between the tips and the phosphor layer 42 is in the range of 5-to-500 micrometers.
Localized phosphorescence is produced in the layer 42 of FIG. 8 by applying a suitable voltage between the substrate 34 and a gate electrode 40 while applying a constant voltage between the substrate 34 and the anode layer 44. Alternatively, the anode layer 44 may be patterned into a plurality of segments, and control voltages may be applied between the gate electrodes 40 and such segments, while the substrate 34 is held at a constant voltage.
Tapered all-metal tips of the type described herein are advantageous for use in a variety of practical devices. Heretofore, no practical way of easily achieving uniform arrays of such ultra-sharp tips has been available.
Finally, it is to be understood that the above-described specific techniques and arrangements are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. In accordance with these principles, numerous modifications and alternatives may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

CONGRATULATING AND COMMENDING THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS -- (House of Representatives - October 06, 2004)
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 108) congratulating and commending the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.J. Res. 108 which would congratulate and commend the Veterans of Foreign Wars on its 105th anniversary. Tracing its roots back to the Spanish-American war, the VFW is one of the Nation's oldest, largest and one of the most respected veterans service organizations. The VFW has a proud history of directly supporting America's veterans and their families. Over 100 full-time service officers work directly with veterans on claims for VA benefits and oversee VA's programs around the country as well. VFW's "Buddy Poppy" program is a symbol of their continuing tradition of caring for fellow veterans, and their community service programs have made VFW a valued partner for thousands of charitable and civic organizations around the country.
Mr. Speaker, I can attest to the valuable contributions of the VFW's legislative specialists who continue to provide expert advice and counsel to help us develop State and national veterans priorities and policy. Over the past 4 years, I have had the privilege, and before that for 6 years as vice chairman of the committee and the last 4 as chairman, of working closely with numerous VFW leaders both on the national level and on the State level back in my home State of New Jersey. My colleagues and I have benefited from the candid advice of VFW's Executive Director Bob Wallace from New Jersey, Legislative Director Dennis Cullinan, and past Commanders in Chief Ed Banas, Ray Sisk and John Gwizdak. We also look forward to working with the new Commander in Chief John Furgess.
I would also like to thank the leaders of the VFW in my home State of New Jersey, especially longtime leader and friend Mike Wysong. For the entire 24 years that I have served in Congress and on Committee on Veterans' Affairs, I have always been able to count on my State VFW leaders to lend their support and offer their ideas to help our State's veterans and also with national issues as well.
Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to support this resolution. It is a fine one.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) that the House suspend the rules and pass the joint resolution, H.J. Res. 108.
The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor thereof) the rules were suspended and the joint resolution was passed.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

SEVERAL Latics players remain uncertain about their futures after manager Iain Dowie and club president Chris Moore failed to meet to discuss next season's budget.
Dowie wanted to discuss terms last week with John Eyre, Julien Baudet and Tony Carss - out-of-contract players whose services he wishes to retain.
However, Moore's business commitments with IT firm Torex meant budget talks, scheduled to take place with Dowie last Thursday, had to be cancelled.
Dowie is now holidaying in Dubai which makes for an anxious wait for Eyre, Baudet and Carss who - along with Darren Sheridan and player-coach Lee Duxbury - must wait to discover what wages the club is able to offer them.
The problems are compounded by the fact that the club's long-serving chief executive, Alan Hardy, remains suspended and Latics has no board member operating at Boundary Park on a day-to-day basis.
David Eyres and Wayne Andrews have already been made offers while Les Pogliacomi, Will Haining and Chris Armstrong, whose contracts expire next year, are considering improved deals to extend their stay at Boundary Park.
Dutch striker Clyde Wijnhard is also out-of-contract, but he and Dowie have agreed to discuss his future once a specialist's assessment of knee surgery has been provided to the club.
The contracts of an estimated 500 footballers from the Premiership and the Football League expire on Saturday, effectively placing them on the dole.
It will spark an unprecedented scramble by players and their agents to secure deals at new clubs. Most will be on reduced terms given the financial problems experienced after the collapse of ITV Digital last May. Dowie has already released Carlo Corazzin, Wayne Gill and goalkeepers David Miskelly and Duncan Roberts.

Its another lazy Sunday and a wild-haired munchkin and his equally wolfy pops are strolling down Biscayne Boulevard hand-in-hand, searching for Cutz Barbershop. Theyve waited all week for Father and Son Sunday, and judging by the overgrowth of hair framing their faces, we dont blame them. The pair reaches the shop (5050 Biscayne Blvd., Miami) and Scruff Sr. opens the door to reveal an upscale enclave of hair-cuttery with a traditional barbershop feel -- wood floors, chic leather furniture, and more razors and clippers than they can count. Lil Wolverine gasps in delight, taking in the sights and sounds -- the hum of the TV set, the black-and-white images of music and sports icons lining the walls, and of course, the murmur of grown-up conversation floating through the air.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
As the shaggy twosome takes a seat in the waiting area, Scruff Jr. peeks at his dads fuzzy mug in wide-eyed amazement, wondering when hell finally be able to sprout hair from his face like his idol. Thirty minutes later, theyre both so fresh and so clean. See more tender moments like this each and every day at the spot that even Heat players entrust with their SportsCenter-worthy haircuts. All sons who come in with their fathers on Sundays will pay half price for their $10 cuts. The shop is open today from 10 to 5:30. Call 305-762-6663, or visit www.cutzbarbershop.com.

Knesset Approves Majadele's Appointment as Gov't Minister
59 MKs vote in favor, 23 MKs opposed; Majadele sworn in as first government minister in Israeli history.
The Knesset approved the ministerial appointment of Labor MK Ghaleb Majadele by a large majority Monday, making Majadele the first Arab government minister in Israeli history.
The appointment was approved by a vote of 59 in favor and 23 against, including the representatives of the Arab parties. Two MKs abstained in the vote.
National Democratic Alliance (Balad) Chairman Azmi Bishara told the Knesset during the debate on Majadele's appointment that as a member of the opposition, he views supporting the expansion of the cabinet as a show of faith in the government.
Bishara said he opposes the government and its policies, and will not support appointment of a Labor Party minister just because he happens to be an Arab.
"The ethnicity of the Labor Party minister does not interest me," said Bishara.
Nonetheless, the Arab parties' MKs, who voted against the appointment, rushed to congratulate Majadele following the Knesset vote. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni also congratulated and kissed the new minister.
Labor Party Chairman Amir Peretz said he is certain Majadele "will serve as a symbol of closing the gaps in Israeli society."
Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik quoted the Declaration of Independence's call for Israeli Arabs to integrate as equals in state institutions. Itzik said Majadele's appointement is a "clear voice" in favor of the right of Arabs to have the opportunity to integrate into state institutions.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
14:31 04 March 2010
Celebrities from across the music, showbiz and sporting worlds are backing the Governments Fire Kills campaign with a Push It Pledge.
Coronation Street on-screen sisters, Helen Flanagan and Brooke Vincent (aka Rosie and Sophie Webster), along with a host of other famous faces - including Amir Khan, Ainsley Harriet, Jill Halfpenny, Sir Terry Wogan, Darren Campbell, James Martin, Dave Spikey, Nihal and Bobby Friction - are all making a pledge to test their smoke alarm every week.
This is a vital step in helping the nation to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by accidental house fires.
Figures shows that while 85%t of people own a smoke alarm, worryingly less than a third test them every week.
This is despite the fact that you are more than twice as likely to die in an accidental house fire if you dont have a working smoke alarm.
Just two to three breaths of toxic smoke can render you unconscious, filling up your lungs and leaving you unable to breathe, just like drowning. And that's why it's crucial that a smoke alarm is not only installed in your home, but that it actually works.
Helen Flanagan, who is supporting the campaign, said: "At home, we've been guilty of not testing our smoke alarms as regularly as we should,
"But this campaign has made me realise how important it is to take just a few seconds every week to push the button and ensure our alarms are working.
"It's scary how quickly a house fire can spread and in so many cases, it's the smoke alarm that can make the difference between someone being able to escape in time, or not. We will be testing our smoke alarms every week from now on."
Fellow supporter Sir Terry Wogan, who himself has suffered a hose blaze, said: "I had a fire at home last year, and can vouch to the excellence of our local fire and rescue service.
"But if it hadn't been for the smoke alarm, even they might have been too late to help, and the consequences could have been fatal for me and my family. Ill make sure that my smoke alarm is tested weekly."
The government's chief fire and rescue adviser, Sir Ken Knight, explained the importance of always checking your smoke alarm works.
"A smoke alarm can buy valuable time to escape from a fire, but only if its working properly.
"It's not enough to just install smoke alarms in your home you must test them every week. The main reason that smoke alarms fail to activate is missing or flat batteries - if the battery needs replacing, do this immediately."
Installing a smoke alarm only takes a few minutes - just follow the manufacturer's instructions that come with it.
The best place is on the ceiling, near or in the middle of the room or hall. The alarm should be at least 30cm (12inches) away from a wall or light.
The more alarms you have, the safer you'll be. Sir Ken Knight recommends you have one on each floor of your home to ensure the earliest detection of a fire.
If you have a TV or other large electrical appliance (such as a computer) in any of the bedrooms, you should fit a smoke alarm there too, but do not fit one in a kitchen or bathroom where smoke or steam may set them off accidentally.
Maintaining your smoke alarm
To keep your smoke alarm in good working order, you should:
Celebrities who've pledged their support for the campaign and have committed to testing their own smoke alarms every week, include broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan, world champion boxer Amir Khan , TV actress Jill Halfpenny, celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott, and many more.

Trends show that the road team is 5-1 against the spread in the last 6 in this series, but the Bears are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against the Redskins. Chicago has hit the over in 14 of its last 17 games following a win.
According to oddsmakers from Bovada.lv, Washington is the slight favorite at home, as the Redskins have odds of -1 point against the Bears. The over/under total for the game has been set at 50 points (View Matchup). The opening odds for this game had this game as even for most of the week before moving to Washington -1. The over/under total opened at 51 points. It fell to 49.5 before moving up to 50.
Washington is coming off a 31-16 loss at Dallas following a bye. The Redskins continue to struggle with consistency on offense despite averaging just under 400 yards per game. The defense is also struggling, allowing 395 yards per game. Robert Griffin III has thrown for 1,448 yards and six touchdowns while rushing for 149 yards. Pierre Garcon has added 35 receptions for 408 yards and two scores.
Chicago is coming off a 27-21 win over the Giants last Thursday. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Chicago. The Bears come into this game averaging 369.1 yards per game on offense, while allowing 373 yards per game on defense. However, the defense has created 17 turnovers. Jay Cutler has thrown for 1,630 yards and 12 touchdowns while Matt Forte has rushed for 442 yards and three scores.
In terms of Injuries, Washington cornerback David Amerson (concussion) and nose tackle Chris Neild (calf) are both questionable. Chicago tight end Martellus Bennett (knee) and cornerback Charles Tillman (knee) are also questionable.
The Public Bets for this game are currently backing Chicago, as the Bears are getting 68% of the wagers with odds of +1 point at Washington on Sunday.

Summer Travels, Quilts, and Lazy Sundays
Once again it has been a while since I posted to this blog. That should be changing as things are simmering down now. Last week I returned from San Diego. My youngest grandchild was graduating from high school.
This is a sofa quilt for my grandson and his wife. I also have enough of the brown paisley used in the patches and for the backing to make window valances to match. Have lots of scraps from this project and I may make some pillows, too. I will be slow-stitching the label on tonight.
Tomorrow I am going to Sharon's and put my Spool flimsy on her long arm and begin quilting it. I made all the blocks while at my guild's spring retreat. I guess I need to press it again before tomorrow. It has been folded into a project box for a few months.
This wonky spool pattern was designed by Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms. It is also a throw sized quilt. I have some really cute, sewing-themed fabric for the backing and variegated thread for the quilting.
Today I am linking up to Kathy's Quilts
for Slow Sunday Stitching.
May all your ups and downs in life be with needle and thread.

Slow Sunday Stitching-June 5, 2016
Today I will be doing some slow Sunday stitching on a quilt binding. I am so proud of this binding. It is my first time to make a 2-sided binding. The front of the quilt has a floral border with some blue flowers. I used blue corner stones between sashings and the pattern called for a repeat of the color in the binding.
But, see, there is no blue in the backing. So, it really needed a black binding. I cut the blue binding at 1" wide and the black print binding at 1 7/8" wide. I used a 1/4" to put the 2 strips together.
Then, I attached the binding to my quilt with a scant 3/8" seam.
My biggest problem was putting the ends of the binding together on the quilt. I soon found that you absolutely must have the needle hit exactly where the 2 pieces of blue come together.
But, hand-stitching this binding is a dream. It folds so easily on
that seam line.
A few weeks ago, my blogger friend Rebecca of Quilting Everyday had a give-away and I won! It was like Christmas morning, opening that package. One of the many items was an armrest caddy.
Not only does the dark brown background exactly match my lounge chair, but it is my constant companion while stitching this binding. It is wonderful to know where my scissors, thread, and needle are. Sometimes, in the past, I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out where these items went. Do you have that problem?
Rebecca lives in Alaska and part of my winnings was these two unique fat quarters of batiks. They definitely say "Alaska", don't you think?
SOooo, I found a pattern that uses lots of batiks on a black background called Dream Catchers. I do have a collection of batiks, but I did not let that stop me from ordering more. LOL I will definitely need to fussy cut these special pieces. Thank you so much, Rebecca.
I think this will be my project when I go on a retreat the end of September.

May all your ups and downs in life be with needle and thread.

Trapped In A Room
What happens if the Zombie touches me?
Don't get touched by the crawling Zombie! If you get touched by the crawling zombie, you will be required to sit and no longer will be permitted to search for clues, but you can still participate verbally. The Zombie is chained to a wall and may not roam freely, but the chain is released another foot every five minutes so you better be quick at putting together the clues, solving the riddles and finding the key that will set you free, otherwise you will be Zombie bait.
How many cast members are in the show?
The show is written to allow up to 12 people in the room at once. You may be in a show with other people you do not know. The entire cast is on the same team working together to escape and not get eaten.
How long will it take?
This depends on how much smarter you are than a Zombie! If you do not find all the clues and solve the puzzles that unlock the door within 60 minutes, you will be eaten by a Zombie and we will have to remove your body from the room. Allow one and half hours for the entire performance for instruction time and a solution explanation.
Will I really get eaten if I don't escape?
Cannibalism has been outlawed since 1804, so the Zombie is not legally permitted to eat you.
What should I bring with me?
Your inner Sherlock Holmes and all the sleuthing skills you can muster! The answers to the clues, riddles and puzzles are all in the room. You will be using your ability to look for clues, figure out logic, communicate with the other performers and apply deductive reasoning to escape. Don't give up! Keep searching for clues. You are going to have to work fast!
Can I participate if I am pregnant?
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND this show for women who are pregnant, or children under the age of 8 years old. Infants will not be allowed into the room, zombies don't like baby food.
Are mobile phones permitted?
Cell phones are not allowed to be used in the room. The use of electronic devices or any outside tools are strictly prohibited and you will immediately be removed from the show if you attempt to use them.
What happens if I arrive late?
The door to the room closes exactly at the time you signed up for. Please arrive 15 – 20 minutes early to make sure you are there before the room is locked. You will not be permitted into the room if you are late. We do not offer refunds.
How old do you have to be?
You must be 14 years or older to participate without an adult. If you are under the age of 18 you must print out and have your parents sign a liability release waiver.

2008 Toyota Avalon Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Not many cars offer the blend Avalon has
By happyowner on
Vehicle2008 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewIf you have a shopping requirement for lots of room, fuel efficiency, 5-star NHTSA ratings all around, Toyota-like reliability & resale value you may find the list is quite short as I did. A 3600lb sedan with true seating for 5, 95mph 1/4 mile trap, and real world 32mpg regular in rural driving seems like a contradiction to me but this car is proof otherwise. Comfort and performance are well documented and all of it is true. Fun to drive of 8 because I find myself looking forward to driving it almost as much as old RX-8. Only 2 things wrong with the car so far if picky: the rain sensing wipers don't activate in misty conditions and the wood panel on driver door is misaligned.
Best FeaturesKeyless entry and start is great if you always find yourself carrying things and fumbling for the keys. A rear sunshade should be standard on all cars. At first wary of the dynamic cruise control, but now I use it all the time in lighter traffic. It works very well. Headlights work very well too.
Worst FeaturesCenter console houses aux port and slides forward for nice armrest, but you must slide it back to to get to iPod. Side mirrors don't fold and the turn signal should be on the casing instead so it doesn't flash in my eyes when I am switching lanes.

The New Year's Eve 6-fold accumulator: Turn £10 into £774.12
New Year's Eve Premier League football

£10 into £27k!!!
The 101GG acca for Boxing Day came oh so close. One selection let us down – which would have earned us over 220 pounds from a 10 stake. So we go again…
Whilst we did fail, we were delighted to see one punter take the bookies for an absolute beating – winning 27,000 pounds from a 10 pound accumulator!
Here is our accumulator for Saturday's Premier League games:
You can bet on this acca here!
Here is our thinking behind a potentially glorious New Year's Eve acca this coming Saturday.
Leicester vs West Ham:
Prediction: West Ham to win either half
Rationale: Leicester's league form continues to slide and they are now in a relegation battle. They are only 3 points above the bottom 3 and have only won 1 of their last 9 league games. West Ham, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 4 and have won each of their last 3. Momentum is heavily on the Hammers side. It is going to be a tight game, however you can get very good odds on West Ham to win either half. It's a no brainer for this acca.
Chelsea vs Stoke:
Prediction: Chelsea to be winning at half time and full time.
Rationale: 12 wins on the bounce, at home against a Stoke team that just got pumped 4-1 to Liverpool. We can only see this going one way. Chelsea have also been winning at both half time and full time in 8 of their last 11 matches. This looks like a safe addition to the acca.
Swansea vs Bournemouth:
Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Rationale: There have been over 2.5 goals in 8 of the last 9 games Swansea have played in. B
Bournemouth have also been leaky and conceded at least 3 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. This should have loads of goals!
Southampton vs West Brom:
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
Rationale: With Charlie Austin still out and Redmond missing through suspension, Southampton are going to struggle getting goals. As for West Brom, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 10 of their last 12 away games. This game has got minimal goals written all over it!
Manchester United vs Middlesborough
Prediction: Man Utd to be winning at half time and full time
Rationale: Man Utd have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 4 matches and are unbeaten in their last 9. Middlesbrough have lost 3 of their last 4 in the league and are winless away from home in the each of their last 8. This should be a comfortable win for Man Utd.
Liverpool vs Man City:
Prediction: Liverpool to win both teams to score
Rationale: Liverpool's home record this year is very good! They are undefeated in their last 16 home matches and have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 home matches. However, their ability to keep clean sheets has been very hit and miss. There are definitely going to be goals in this game, we reckon Liverpool will comfortably win too (sorry Pep).

Unanswered: Suggestion on database schema
Hi folks,
I need some suggestion on how to design the db schema for my project.
So i need to design inventory system in a fabrication situation.
So for example,
1. Item A consist of couple sub-items such as
a. item a1 with all the attributes such as weight, length, etc.
b. item a2 with all the attributes as well
d. etc...
I have an idea about using nested table but I am not sure if this is a good solution because it needs to be expandable to thousands of items without burdening the database process.
Thanks a lot

>I have an idea about using nested table
Nested tables should be avoided.
design table to Third Normal Form
Third normal form - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaYou can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
