So Discouraged
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
I am so discouraged today. I thought that I would lose a few pounds quickly when I first started and then plateau, but that hasn't been what has happened at all.
I've gone from drinking a 2-liter of Mtn. Dew a day to drinking 64+oz of water.
I've cut out my morning drive to McDonald's for a sausage biscuit.
I've limited the nights that I'm allowed to have alcohol.
I've started excersizing for 1/2 an hour every day.
What do I have to show for it? I've gained .2 lbs. That would be ok if it was one of those "muscle weighs more than fat" things... but my clothes aren't fitting any better so that can't be it... I feel much better and I know that I'm developing good habits, so I'm not ready to give up yet, but if I'm destined to be this size, I'm gonna drink Mtn. Dew!!!

Suggestion: Instead of getting on the scale try keeping a weekly log of your inches. Measure your waist, hip and thigh. Make sure to do this weekly and keep a record. You'll see the inches come off and it'll boost your mood. Consider weighing yourself once a month. Once you start to see inches coming off you'll want to see your weight.
Stick with it ;)
Mtn. Dew has like a zillion empty calories, right? How about drinking Crystal Light Lemon-Lime instead?
Don't give up, we all fall short of our goals sometimes. The trick is to get back on track and don't beat yourself up over it.

I am sure it is water weight you gained. It takes 2 weeks before you can get discouraged. Don't go back to the soda. It is bad for you and a waste of calories!! Keep it up. Stay away from fast food 100% and track everything you eat. Stay within your calorie and fat intake and excercise 35-60 minutes every other day. You can do it. It is a lifestyle change not a diet!

How long has it been since you started to make changes? It takes a while for your body to get the clue. Are you staying in your calorie range? Is your sodium level out of line? Sometimes I get frustrated with two or three weeks of nothing, and then blammo! I've lost 5 pounds. Keep doing the right things for your body and I promise you will have something to show for it.

Northern Sweden » Tärnaby Fjällhotell
Tärnaby Fjällhotell simply exudes Alpine tradition and an active lifestyle! The hotel was built in the mid-60's and ever since has managed in line with Tärnaby's traditions and Alpine history. The location is perfect: 20 metres from Anja lift and 250 m from Ingemarbacken. Ski-in ski-out is not just an advertising slogan here. It is a reality.
In summer the mountains are equally accessible! The open waters of lake Gäutan are inviting for canoeing, swimming and great views.
We are close to the mountains for day trips where wide open spaces beckon as far as the eye can see. Waterfalls, hanging bridges, great fishing, beaches, wildflowers... the natural attractions of our region are enchanting - and it's only an hour and a half to the Atlantic Ocean to the west! Easy to combine your visit with trips to the islands of Helgeland or a cruise with Hurtigruten.
We have 36 rooms of various sizes; Slalom, Giant Slalom and Super-G; a restaurant with all sorts of good food, pub, in-house conference capacity for up to 60 people, panoramic sauna on the roof with stunning views and associated fitness and relaxation centre, playroom for children, lounge with library and bar, modern apartments (cabins, ski-in/ski-out), plus Åkerlundska lodge and Backvillan cottage – the two finest houses in the district -- for a bit more company!

Recent data breaches have brought to the attention of employers who sponsor self-insured health benefit plans ("Plans"), many of which are administered by third party administrators ("TPAs") that are affiliates of national health insurance companies, the need to evaluate their contractual rights to ensure that they can properly respond if their TPA suffers a data breach. Similarly, these events remind TPAs to re-examine their obligations to Plans under applicable laws and their business associate agreements.
TPAs typically perform a variety of administrative services for or on behalf of Plans that require the TPA to create, receive, maintain, and/or transmit protected health information of the Plan's beneficiaries ("PHI"), and thus are "business associates" subject to the HIPAA regulations concerning the privacy and security of health information ("HIPAA"). As business associates, TPAs must comply with HIPAA's Security Rule and certain provisions of HIPAA's Privacy Rule and Data Breach Notification Rule. Business associates that fail to comply are subject to regulatory action under HIPAA's Enforcement Rule. In addition, HIPAA requires these TPAs to enter into business associate agreements ("BAAs") with Plans, which create contractual obligations TPAs owe to Plans in connection with the privacy and security of PHI.
HIPAA dictates some of the BAA's terms, but leaves the parties significant flexibility in establishing the business associate's obligations. At a minimum, the BAA must require that the TPA comply with those aspects of HIPAA that apply to it, including particularly that the TPA must comply with the Security Rule with respect to PHI in electronic form, and that the TPA report security incidents, data breaches, and other unauthorized uses or disclosures of PHI to the Plan promptly.
When the TPA is a national insurance company or its affiliate, PHI of the self-funded Plan's beneficiaries is commonly stored in the same systems that the insurer uses to store the information of its insureds. Under HIPAA, both the insurers and the Plans are "covered entities" with respect to their insureds and their beneficiaries, respectively. However, insofar as the insurer is acting as a TPA for a Plan, the insurer's responsibilities following a data breach of Plan beneficiaries' PHI are those of a business associate. Therefore, the TPA will have different responsibilities with respect to the PHI of individuals who are insured by the TPA or its affiliate, on the one hand, and the PHI of individuals who are covered by an employer-funded Plan, on the other hand. The response to certain recent data breaches has demonstrated confusion about the parties' respective legal roles, and this confusion may lead to failures of compliance by both TPAs and Plans.
The breaches of health information most commonly reported publicly are breaches of "unsecured PHI" (i.e., PHI that is not encrypted in accordance with standards established by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services). HIPAA requires that the business associate report such breaches to the covered entity, as well as other security incidents and unauthorized uses and disclosures of PHI, within specified timeframes. The covered entity in turn must report the breach to affected individuals, the Department of Health & Human Services ("HHS"), and, if the breach involves more than 500 residents of a state or other jurisdiction, the prominent media outlets. A Plan should not assume that a TPA's response to a data breach appropriate to the TPA's or its affiliates' insureds is sufficient to address the Plan's independent obligations as a covered entity to respond to the data breach.
Moreover, HIPAA requires that the covered entity make those reports of a data breach without unreasonable delay and in no event later than 60 days after the covered entity discovers the breach or would have discovered the breach with the exercise of reasonable diligence. Often, the covered entity first learns of a data breach when the TPA announces it. Receipt of this announcement almost certainly qualifies as "discovery" of the breach, but the announcement may not be a legally sufficient report of the breach under HIPAA or the business associate contract. Thus, while the TPA's announcement that a breach has occurred marks the beginning of the Plan's legal responsibilities to respond, the TPA may not for quite some time provide the Plan with the information necessary for the Plan to begin its response.
In addition, certain state laws may impose similar breach reporting responsibilities upon either or both the Plan and the TPA, particularly if the breach involves categories of information beyond PHI, such as personal financial information.
Plans should review their BAAs with TPAs and other business associates and determine the following:
- The period of time within which the TPA must report a breach, security incident, or other unauthorized use or disclosure. HIPAA requires that the business associate report breaches of unsecured PHI to the covered entity without unreasonable delay and in no event later than 60 days following discovery of the breach. In practice, BAAs typically require that report within a much shorter timeframe, often within a week or two following the time the business associate discovered the breach or would have discovered it if the business associate had used reasonable diligence.
- The contents of the report of the breach. HIPAA describes the minimum contents of the business associate's report of the breach, and the BAA may impose additional requirements. A legally complete report will identify the individuals whose information was or was reasonably believed to have been included in the breach, as well as several other elements of information that will permit the covered entity to make its required reports of the breach.
- The TPA's other responsibilities in connection with the breach. The BAA typically will require at a minimum that the business associate mitigate the potential harm that could result from the breach. Many BAAs describe the business associate's obligations, and the extent of its liability to the covered entity and/or affected individuals arising from the breach, in more detail. Sometimes, the BAA will require the business associate to perform some of the covered entity's responsibilities arising as a result of the breach, either independently or under the supervision of the covered entity.
- The TPA's obligations, if any, to pay for the costs of responding to the breach and/or for indemnifying the Plan for losses suffered as a result of the breach. HIPAA does not require that the BAA discuss financial responsibility for data breaches or indemnification, but these subjects are commonly addressed either in the BAA or in the associated services agreement under which the business associate performs its services for the covered entity. Sometimes the two contracts contain overlapping or even contradictory terms addressing these concerns. Often, the contracts provide for the business associate to indemnify the covered entity for losses arising either from a breach of the contract and/or a violation of HIPAA. However, in some circumstances, the business associate may suffer a data breach without committing breach of contract or HIPAA violation. The specific terms in which the contracts describe the business associate's obligations to protect PHI and to indemnify for losses may differ greatly from one arrangement to the next, and the Plan should make itself familiar with the specific promises it has received from its business associate.
- The TPA's obligations to maintain insurance. HIPAA does not require that the BAA address whether the business associate will maintain cyber insurance to help fund the response to a data breach, but many BAAs or associated services agreements address this subject.
In addition, Plans should review their own HIPAA compliance programs to confirm that they are prepared to perform their responsibilities following a data breach suffered by their TPA, including the making of required reports to individuals, HHS, other agencies and the media. A Plan should also be prepared to investigate and evaluate the circumstances in which the data breach occurred, in order to determine whether to require corrective or other action by the TPA or to terminate its relationship with the TPA. Under HIPAA, when a covered entity determines that a business associate is not acting in compliance with its business associate contract, the covered entity is called upon to take reasonable steps to cure the problem or terminate its relationship with the business associate if it is feasible to do so. Plans should also review their own insurance coverage to determine whether they are sufficiently covered against the risk of data breaches.
Similarly, TPAs should review their HIPAA compliance programs and contractual obligations to confirm that they are prepared to perform their responsibilities, to investigate data breaches and identify and correct deficiencies that may have contributed to the data breach, and to demonstrate to Plans that the TPA has implemented all required corrective action to gain control of the breach and to prevent breaches from occurring in the future.

Unanswered: export to rtf problem
I am running an access application where I am exporting a report to an RTF file format.
I have 8 Machines in the office and 2 of them will output the report as formatted in access, the rest of the machines completely misalign the data ( i.e. one line becomes two etc.)
All machines are running windows and access XP.
Any ideas

It might be due to the default printers for each machine having different margins.
I run into this problem a lot. I design a lot of reports that use every last inch of space on the page, and they work fine on the laser printers in the office. But unfortunately, viewing a report in Access is actually a print preview, so if someone has a different printer set up with larger margins, they can't even view it on the screen properly without first changing their printer to one with smaller margins.
I don' know if this helps at all, but you might also want to see if you're using any strange fonts or anythign like that?

Printing problem
I agree with grrr223 and had similar problems. Check your fonts. Try and use Time New Roman or Arial as a font but the stem of your problem could be the printer drivers. We had some printer driver problems when we went to XP.Expert Database Programming

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Sudden case of corrupted downloads
Let me start by saying I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place - I don't even know if this is a hardware or software problem, which gives you some idea of the level of idiot you're dealing with here. In the last 10 days or so, for no reason I can think of, I've been having download problems. Any podcast or music I download comes out corrupted, i.e. choppy like a scratched CD. This happens no matter which of various sites I'm downloading from, so it's not a problem with any one site, and these are respectable long-established places I download from, not sketchy legal-grey-areas on the fringes of the web.
So far, I have:
- reset Firefox
- tried using a different browser
- reset my router (more than once)
- run full scans for virus, spyware, and malware infections
- run checkdisk and a memory diagnostic
- tweaked and finally uninstalled Quicktime
- tried downloading to a different destination
None of this has done the job. At the same time, Steam cannot seem to download the new Skyrim patch for me. It keeps suspending the download, and says I have a 0 bytes download rate. Speedtest.net shows my up- and download rates as being their normal selves, and Pingtest.net gave me an A grade, with 0% packet loss. I'm completely stumped, this doesn't seem to make any sense.
I cannot face the prospect of commuting every day without podcasts and music to get me through - please help!

Includes accounts of the fighting written by important generals like Grant, Sherman, Beauregard, and more.
Explains the circumstances of Albert Sidney Johnston's death.
"The turning point of our fate." (Jefferson Davis on the death of Albert Sidney Johnston at Shiloh)
"Probably no single battle of the war gave rise to such wild and damaging reports." (William Tecumseh Sherman)
After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy's best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all-out attack on Grant's army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant's men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston's army began to steadily push Grant's men back, toward the river.
As fate would have it, the Confederates may have been undone by friendly fire at Shiloh. Johnston advanced out ahead of his men on horseback, while directing a charge near a peach orchard, when he was hit in the lower leg by a bullet that historians now widely believe was fired by his own men. Nobody thought the wound was serious, including Johnston, who continued to aggressively lead his men and even sent his personal physician to treat wounded Union soldiers taken captive. But the bullet had clipped an artery, and shortly after being wounded, Johnston began to feel faint in the saddle. With blood filling up his boot, Johnston unwittingly bled to death. The delay caused by his death, and the transfer of command to subordinate P.G.T. Beauregard, bought the Union defenders critical time on April 6.

Travel blogger Amy Whitley checked out the Grand Velas all-inclusive luxury resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as a preview for the Mom Blogger Camp to be held September 2012 at its sister resort Velas Vallarta. She had a terrific vacation in Mexico! Here's her report:
Prepare to be impressed the first time you enter the open-air lobby of the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit on the Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Rising four stories to a wood-beamed thatched roof far above, the spacious lobby incorporates a koi pond, local art and sculpture, and plenty of inviting seating. Beyond it, wide, multi-story corridors lush with tropical vegetation lead to the Grand Velas' distinctive restaurants, shops, and guest service spaces before opening out onto the resort grounds' bars, pools, and lounging spaces.
We first arrived at night, to the added treat of warm sea air settling over the quiet, peaceful grounds cast in muted pool and patio lighting. We made our way straight to the upper lobby bar, where we ordered fruity, tropical drinks to the tune of live music and the stirring of the breeze through the palms. We later roused ourselves for a late dinner at Piaf, Grand Velas' four-diamond award winning French cuisine restaurant, where we detoured from pina coladas to study the extensive wine before lingering over Chilean sea bass and filet mignon as part of a four-course dinner better described as an event than a meal. (Do yourself a favor and order the pea cream soup with brie and nut raviolis. I think I temporarily entered Nirvana upon first sip.)
In addition to Piaf, Grand Velas hosts Frida's, where, quite frankly, I ate the best gourmet Mexican cuisine of my life. From a tableside guacamole-making service to a rich traditional tortilla soup, every course was painstakingly prepared and presented. The ambiance is somehow both cozy and elegant, leaving diners wondering whether they should feel pampered or right at home. We settled on both.
I could have eaten three meals a day at Frida's, but sadly, that wasn't an option. Instead, we made our way to Azul the following day, for casual dining that still pulls out all the stops. (Why yes, we did eat our way through Grand Velas.) Located beach and poolside, upon entering this open-air restaurant, it's easy to see where Azul derives its name. From the sea to the sky to the linens and stemware, everything about Azul is cast in brilliant shades of blue. We loved the restaurant's buffet-style lunch, where every food on offer is made from scratch and set out only seconds after creation.
For guests itching to do something other than dine (though for the life of me, I can't imagine why), there are ample recreational amenities included in Grand Velas' all-inclusive rate. Featuring multiple pools, a pristine beach with water sports, exercise facilities, and an award-winning spa, guests could opt to either spend all their leisure time on the resort's grounds, or visit the activities desk to arrange area tours and excursions, such as sea kayaking, horseback riding through the Sierra Madre mountains, or snorkeling. Though we experienced Grand Velas without our kids in tow (highly recommended upon occasion, even for this family travel writer), kids are welcomed. The resort offers a complementary kids' club and complementary private babysitting in addition to all-inclusive dining and family-friendly suites as part of their family package. While Piaf and Frida's might more formal than most young kids are up for, Azul, or the Italian (and more kid palate-pleasing) gourmet fare at Lucca offer alternatives. Or do as we saw several vacationing families do: make reservations to dine early with kids, or order room service to dine on your patio or balcony. If you do bring the kids, be sure to set aside at least one evening for an adult-only meal. You won't be sorry!
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit offers an unparalleled high-end resort experience for either you or your whole family, but if you're looking for a more casual vacation, consider her sister resort, Velas Vallarta, located twenty minutes away in Puerto Vallarta's marina district. Sporting a completely family-friendly ambiance while still offering all-inclusive dining, Velas Vallarta offers a solid alternative to Grand Velas' luxury standards, without compromising quality and service. Both are safe and wonderful resorts for a family vacation in Mexico.
Amy Whitley was hosted by Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit for meals at Piaf, Frida's and Azul, and was hosted by Velas Vallarta for a four-day stay, for the purpose of review. She is a freelance writer and founding editor of the family travel site Pit Stops for Kids. When she's not traveling, Amy makes her home in Oregon with her husband and three sons.

David Price says he is surprised by his punching power ahead of Matt Skelton bout
Heavyweight prospect David Price has admitted that he has been surprised by his own power since turning professional.
Last Updated: 02/12/12 7:03am
The 2008 Olympic bronze medallist will look to add another win to his 14-0 record when he defends his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against Matt Skelton in Liverpool on Friday.
Price has won 12 of his fights by knockout and has put three of his last five opponents away in the first round, including a brutal stoppage of Audley Harrison last time out.
And the 29-year-old says he did not expect to be such a devastating puncher in the professional ranks.
"I've surprised myself with my progress at times. I've expected the fights to be a bit more difficult," Price said.
"It's the punch power which surprises me because in training I know I can punch, but it's when I put the 10oz gloves on, get in the ring and start punching then that it produces results which I didn't think were possible.
"I have got that nastiness in there. It's something that people always thought I never had. I've heard a lot of people say to me, 'you're too nice'.
"But being nice is one thing and being soft is another and I'm not soft."
Price is known for his mild manner as well as his spectacular punching but he insists it will be all business when he faces tough veteran Skelton in the ring on Friday.
He added: "I might be a nice person but when I'm in that ring a completely different persona comes out. It's heavyweight boxing, at the end of the day.
"If I don't finish the job it can give them an opportunity to take me out. It only takes one punch. So I want to get them out of there as quickly as possible and when I hit someone, I make sure they stay hit.
"That's what boxing is about. It's the noble art. For all the trash talking involved in boxing - which there is a place for, because people get excited about it, but it's not for me - there's always room for gentlemanly conduct as well.
"I just be myself and be normal and it comes across well to the fans as someone they can relate to. There's also a market for the trash talk as well, so it creates a nice balance."

Greg Bargas of Gaming Enthusiast takes on the Steam Early Access title, Interstellar Marines.
He writes:
"The glitz and glam of the first-person shooter realm has become something bigger than itself. With high-ball engines that seem like only Hollywood could produce, there's something empty about the experience as a whole. However, many would argue this is where the creative reins are grasped by the developers pouring their time into Early Access titles on Steam. The company known as Zero Point Software is looking to bring a little something different to the table."
The game looks pretty impressive, even if it's not the type I'd normally play.
OMG....I totally, totally forgot that this game even existed. I remember reading about it way back when last gen first started, like in 2007-2008.
How is this game still not out? I remember when it was first announced as a PS3 game early last gen.

Do you need help streamlining your HR process?
Human resource management involves a long haul of major and minor processes that include recording a huge load of data for each individual employee, their work, attendance, time records, overtime and also their compensation and business evaluation.
It also ensures effective and coherent workforce management, ensuring a smooth and sufficient distribution of employees and labor force within all operational areas as per the work load requirements. Moreover, the human resource department also has to keep a check and balance on the regular production and efficiency goals and have to evaluate each day's productivity at the end of the day.
Altogether, this makes up a huge load of responsibilities that need an error free and accurate recording, evaluation and management that exceeds beyond the manual handling capacities of a person. Therefore, it is a smart business approach to integrate and automate your business operations and workforce management functions to save time, reduce errors and thus, leverage the outcomes on returns and increase overall efficiency.

Green Tours
October 4th, 2010, 10:00 am
MAS is offering three tours after the Conference on Preservation and Climate Change, ranging from an estate built by John D. Rockefeller to apartment houses on the Lower East Side. These tours are a chance to see what can be done to historic sites to move towards greater sustainability.
Sunday, October 17, 8:15 a.m.-4:30 p.m. – Rural Sustainability: Kykuit, Pocantico Center & Stone Barns
The tag line for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) logo is "Philanthropy in an Interdependent World," an apt one for an organization whose projects reflect an environmentalist ethic. RBF is also responsible for the stewardship of the 3,400 acre John D. Rockefeller estate on the Hudson River, a model of sustainability. Preservationist Margaret Oldfather will lead the group on a tour that includes: the grand house called Kykuit (from a Dutch word for "overlook"), the Beaux Arts gardens punctuated with sculpture by Calder, Henry Moore, Noguchi and other modernist masters, the Pocantico Conference Center and the 1948 Marcel Breuer House, now undergoing restoration and energy updating. The group will also visit the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, with its efficient buildings, farm animals, hillside gardens and extensive greenhouses. Transportation is by chartered van. A light lunch is included in the $60 ticket. Reservations and pre-payment required.
Sunday, October 17, 1:00-3:00 p.m. – Going Green in the Flatiron District
Architectural historian Matt Postal will provide historical and architectural context as he leads the group on visits to two LEED certified rehabilitations, one a landmarked building and the other an office with an unexpected view. At the sites, architects will lead the tours and discuss how they made these spaces more efficient and pleasant work environments. At 200 Fifth Ave. (The International Toy Building), principals from STUDIOS Architecture will lead a tour of the interior of the landmark building, in which bronze curtain walls and bronze-clad sashes have been replaced and an interior courtyard once occupied by mechanical equipment is now filled with light and bamboo. At the Cook +Fox offices, the architects will describe how they developed a daylight-based lighting plan and made choices such as denim insulation and waterless urinals, as well as the most striking symbol of their move towards sustainability — the green roof. It reduces water runoff while providing a close-up view of ever-changing nature through the office windows. Fee: $20.
Sunday, October 17, 1:00-4:00 p.m. – Lower East Side Boiler Tour
Henry Gifford says, "I demand to know how things work." That attitude and his willingness to put in the effort and time to understand how things do work has enabled him to learn the best ways to save energy—and money. When Gifford was a young landlord he learned that the cost to run the boiler was the largest variable in building expenses. He also learned that overheated apartments with wide-open windows and clanking radiators are signs of boiler ignorance and waste. Come along for an unexpectedly fascinating look at boilers, the heart of many a New York building. The New Yorker Magazine profiled Henry Gifford on his first boiler tour, which attracted participants from Ohio and Minnesota. Fee: $20.

Guwahati, Jun 24(UNI) The United Liberation front of Asom (ULFA) formally split as its strike force-- the 28 Battalion, defying the top command, announced unilateral ceasefire from today.
A fax announcing this and signed by 28th Battalion commander Mrinal Hazarika and his deputy Jiten Dutta, was sent to the UNI office, bringing down a curtain on a year long drama to win over the ground level commanders isolating the top duo of the ULFA--Aurobindo Rajkhowa and Paresh Barua-- who are holed up outside India.
The fax also urged the central leadership to give peace a chance.
They hoped that the window of opportunity provided by them would be used by both the state and the Centre.
This is the second split in the ULFA in its 38 year old history.
The ULFA top two Chairman Aurobindo Rajkhowa and Commander-in-chief Paresh Barua are opposed to talk under the present terms and conditions.
The Assam Government has not reacted officially so far. A senior Assam official said the matter would be placed before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on July 2 when Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is supposed to meet him and the government would announce ceasefire from New Delhi.
The Chief Minister, however, refused to make any comments. But the official source informed that Police have been asked to go easy in upper Assam.
Meanwhile, this morning in a major blow to the outlawed ULFA, 59 hardcore cadres of the outfit along with six Naga militants surrendered before the Army in separate functions in Assam today.
As many as 32 militants, including 26 ULFA cadres, four NSCN(IM) cadres and two NSCN(K) cadres, surrendered before the Army's 2nd Mountain Artillery Brigade in Mariani in upper Assam's Jorhat district. The surrendered cadres were of the '28th battalion' of the ULFA, the outfit's main strike force, and included two women militants.
Meanwhile, in a separate surrender ceremony, another 26 cadres of the ULFA laid down arms before the Army's Red Horns Division in Tamulpur in lower Assam.
GOC in C of 4 Corps Major General J S Jaswal today called on Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi at his office and discussed the fast unfolding developments.
On Saturday night ULFA's former commander of the 28th Battalion Mrinal Hazarika was released on bail from Tinuskia district.
This is the first major attempt to split the ULFA and force one group for talk since 1993 when the then Chief Minister Hiteswar Saikia almost succeeded, with one group reaching to then Prime Minister Narasimha Rao.

The Alliance has had plenty of problems (and still does). Most races distance themselves from the splinter factions that get a little too hell-bent on destruction (Dark Iron, Grimtotem, Gurubashi, etc...) However, those groups are largely individual tribes, and when they go crazy they just lose their connections with the other tribes.
The orcs used to be individual tribes that only came together once a year. The demons organized them all under a leader they knew they could control. Since then the orcs have really only had one leader. It's not like Garrosh is the leader of the Hellscreams, but the Frostwolves can just stay under Thrall and do their own thing. Hence, the need to kill their leader and get a more respectable orc in there! :P

Yes Packer Shoes is a virtual assembly line of killer collabs with the Vector Brand, but they're also one of the best sources for inline Reebok styles retro and otherwise. Proving that point once again is this fresh set of images on the Reebok Kamikaze II re-release in the OG black/white/green colorblocking that is right around the corner. You'll remember the Shawn Kemp sneakers from the man's massive run with the Seattle Sonics in the 1995-96 season that ended in an NBA finals appearance. Continue reading for all the pictures on the pair and mark your calender for the January 18th release date (one you won't have to worry about if you jump at the chance to pre-order yours from Packer Shoes now).

1990 Weathertite casements window lock
A purchasing agent from pa says:
July 7, 2014
Do you have these lock down handles for a 1990 Weathertite casements window. He needs around 30
Tom from SWISCO responded:
July 7, 2014
Hmm... it's hard to say what you have without seeing the lock removed from the window. Seeing how it hooks into the sash is important. That said, look at our 38-036 and see if this can possibly work for you as a replacement.

For the past 22 years I have been using Crayola watercolors in my elementary art classroom. I love the brightness of the colors and I think they are a good value. I have always asked Crayola why they don't make refills for all their colors and for the last 4 years anyway they thank me politely and it goes nowhere. The colors are blue-green, yellow-orange, and yellow-green.

2nd Place MOTM#9 Theme: CharMods - Combat Arms [No - Thanks] button
come on you know that don't want to push that ordinary button
My holidays are over in a day, but I've spent at least 14 hours a day playing World of Warcraft, if he would've given me Mod, I would at least do it 50/50, 7 hours of monitoring the GFX section, and 7 hours of playing WoW.
But, how do you mean : "I would have said the same thing a month or two ago.
Not anymore."
Doc you should have never took demotion.
Of course I support you getting your spot back
1. I love u
2. Atm you have the most knowledge when it comes to digi Gfx
3. You are fair.
4. You let people pal around in threads if it doesn't cause rage
5. You don't just delete peoples posts just to strut power around
6. Ryguy isn't any fun. He has absolutey no sense of humor. Plus he's a rat.
7. Cause I'm greedy too and u need to be back here son.
8. Did I mention Ryguy is a queer?
I have a sense of humor but when it comes to a thread being a page long of unrelated crap I'm gonna delete all of it. If I didn't do that I would just close the thread but then you guys cry about that even more. I don't "strut" my power?
If it has anything to do with this section and as long as its on topic I dont usually delete it. I haven't deleted this even though its like a thread to get rid of me basically. I also haven't deleted many comments in this thread because theyre for the most part on topic.
I support this
but i want to also keep ryguy and he should also be a mod

Lecture 13
Power Flow
Professor Tom Overbye
Department of Electrical andComputer Engineering
AEP 2007 Proposed Overlay
For the two bus power system shown below, use the
Newton-Raphson power flow to determine the
voltage magnitude and angle at bus two. Assume
that bus one is the slack and SBase = 100 MVA.
Once the voltage angle and magnitude at bus 2 are
known we can calculate all the other system values,
such as the line flows and the generator reactive
power output
Low voltage solution
Slide shows the region of convergence for different initial
guesses of bus 2 angle (x-axis) and magnitude (y-axis)

Elements of Ybus connected to bus 2
Good power system operation requires that there be no reliability violations for either the current condition or in the event of statistically likely contingencies
Reliability requires as a minimum that there be no transmission line/transformer limit violations and that bus voltages be within acceptable limits (perhaps 0.95 to 1.08)
Example contingencies are the loss of any single device. This is known as n-1 reliability.
North American Electric Reliability Corporation now has legal authority to enforce reliability standards (and there are now lots of them). See http://www.nerc.com for details (click on Standards)
Opening one line (Tim69-Hannah69) causes an overload. This would not be allowed
Contingencyanalysis providesan automaticway of lookingat all the statisticallylikely contingencies. Inthis example thecontingency set
Is all the single line/transformeroutages
One common usage of the power flow is to determine how the system should be modified to remove contingencies problems or serve new load
In an operational context this requires working with the existing electric grid
In a planning context additions to the grid can be considered
In the next example we look at how to remove the existing contingency violations while serving new load.
Case now has nine separate contingencies with reliability violations
Previous case was augmented with the addition of a 138 kV Transmission Line
The power flow is a steady-state analysis tool, so the assumption is total load plus losses is always equal to total generation
Generation mismatch is made up at the slack bus
When doing generation change power flow studies one always needs to be cognizant of where the generation is being made up
Common options include system slack, distributed across multiple generators by participation factors or by economics
Display shows "Difference Flows" between original 37 bus case, and case with a BLT138 generation outage;
note all the power change is picked up at the slack
Display repeats previous case except now the change in generation is picked up by other generators using a participation factor approach
Display shows voltage contour of the power system, demo will show the impact of generator voltage set point, reactive power limits, and switched capacitors

It was good to see Bonzi finally hit lay-ups. - Tracy McGrady
I completely agree Tracy, it was nice. Bonzi and Scola were fantastic last night as was everyone else that played more than 3 minutes. Hell, even Rafer almost had a triple double. Of course he also shot three balls that didn't hit the rim at all, but he still did two things decently, suck and pass the ball.
When we first got to the game we were handed Rockets Power Dancers calendars, and I have to say, they are pretty nice. I'm married and have a kid, so mine will never get put up anywhere, but it was still a nice gesture by the Rockets. It even helped me further prove that July sucks, it had a girl with my ex-wife's name on it, it's a long time exes birthday month and it especially sucks for July 24th, Rafer's birthday. They really try to make the games a fun atmosphere, more than the Astros and MUCH more than the Texans. The only problem we had all night is that they decided that every dog has their day and put Rafer on the cover of the game guide.
The intros were hilarious with everyone looking up at the camera and trying to look hard. Shane Battier trying to be intimidating was a little like someone being scared by a bunny, utterly ridiculous. Is there a whiter man on the planet than Shane Battier?
The Rockets were 3/14 at the first timeout of the game, and unsurprisingly the Grizzlies were up 12-6. I think the Rockets were still on the hangover of Rafer inexplicably getting on the program guide, but maybe it was just that they came out playing like they have in the last few losses they had, completely selfishly.
Shortly after the timeout the Rockets went on a run. One thing was apparent early and often in the game: Rafer's teammates do not trust him, especially on the fast break. Tracy and Rafer had a two on two fast break and Rafer was wide open completely unguarded and Tracy refused to pass him the ball. Instead he slowed it down just a bit and let Luis Scola catch up. How does it feel to be stranger to TMac's child Rafer? You couldn't be more untrusted if you slept with his wife.
Yao was in the game with 1:05 left in the first and he needed a breather. Why was he in the game? He was going to rest, why risk the foul? And of course, he picked one up with 4.2 seconds left on the clock and it proved the point. I know Ricky is experimenting, but that's just silly.
Bonzi remembered how to play, but he still can't jump right now. He got more athletic with his moves as the game moved on and really trusted his offensive moves. He looked like the Bonzi from his Sacramento days. I was pleased, and really, let's be honest, that's what's important.
Much like Happy learned how to put: Scola learned how to play…uh ohhh
After the timeout the Rockets outscored the Grizzlies by 19 and were up 55-42 at half.
12 points for Scola and 16 for Bonzi, that's what I'm talking about!
The low risk, high reward halftime show was by the Society of Karate. The only appropriate response? KICK ASS!! But alas no one got put in a body bag, swept the leg OR did a flippin awesome crane kick. Let's just say I was more than disappointed. They could have made someone bleed for my pleasure at least!
After halftime Yao came back to kick some ass. He had four reposts on the night that were phenomenal. And because only one had Rafer throwing the entry pass he was able to convert on all of them. Towelie threw the ball to him at his junk, no idea why he doesn't realize the guy is 7'6. It didn't matter though because Yao is awesome.
I don't care what Dave says, Battier = Shoota, choke on that baby!!!
One of my favorite moments of the night occurred during a timeout game where we found out we were on the west side of the stadium and 50% of the crowd on our side shouted Westside! When you get a chance to do that in life, you have to have some fun with it
Scola had an amazing move around a player to a reverse lay-up in the fourth. He touched the guy on the ass and maybe grabbed a little (cause that's how Quagmire rolls), but it wasn't hooking at all. They called the offensive foul, but I think even the ref thought it was a bad call. Great move by Scola, he needs to keep his filthy paws to himself though. I swear he wears sex panther cologne.
Tracy rebounded and passed his way to a triple double on a horrible shooting night. I'm glad to see he noticed he sucked from the field tonight and that he had to get the rest of the team involved. I hope he plays like this the rest of the year. I much prefer this Tracy to the shoot until it finally goes in Tracy. And I'll take either one, he's a great player either way, but he's a top 2-3 player when he passes and rebounds like he did tonight.
The end of the game was awesome. I'm not sure if it was just as a big FU to Memphis or if Rafer didn't know that the shot clock was running out, and I don't put it past him, but the Rockets took a 24 second violation at the end with 4.2 seconds left. I've never seen a team do that.
All in all the Rockets dominated from the 6 minute mark in the first to the end of the game. A 13 point victory in a game that was never that close. We had a great time and we even found a few cool giveaways later in the season as the RPD calendar showed them all. Rock on Rockets, Rock on

Arena venue for Froch
Carl Froch will take on WBC super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute at the Nottingham Arena on 26 May.
Last Updated: 21/05/12 1:07pm
Carl Froch will take on WBC super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute at the Nottingham Arena on 26 May.
Promoter Eddie Hearn had hoped to stage the fight outdoors at Notts County's Meadow Lane football ground but logistical issues and bureaucracy have made the idea unrealistic.
Hearn said: "We looked at Meadow Lane and had meetings with the local council and the police but the problem was Meadow Lane didn't have a licence for boxing.
"We were given decent guarantees from the council that that should not be a problem providing we adhered to certain rules, but it takes 28 days and with the uncertainty over that, I can't put tickets on sale on Monday at a venue where I actually don't know whether the fight will happen or not.
"Also, with the uncertainty over capacity numbers in terms of exit routes from the ground, we couldn't officially say what the capacity would be or get seating plans ready in time.
"So the fight is at the arena, which holds 9,000 people. I know it will sell out in a couple of weeks but that's how it is."

ALERT! Obama Signs New Law Targeting Independent Media, Websites for Elimination Under NDAA
Last Friday it was announced by U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) that the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act legislation was in fact signed into law as part of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report which is aimed at countering "foreign propaganda and disinformation."
However, the caveat of the new law will allow the U.S. government to establish "an interagency center housed at the State Department to coordinate and synchronize counter-propaganda efforts" against independent news outlets, websites, in which President Obama and other corporate controlled press agencies like the Washington Post have already deemed to be "Russian propaganda" and/or "fake news."

Parabeton: Pier Luigi Nervi and Roman Concrete Trailer (2012)
12 February 2012 Factual, Foreign 100 mins
The third autobiography in the series deals with modern architecture. For the grand finale, he covers a broad historical spectrum: Parabeton tells of the great Roman concrete buildings from the start of the Common Era and compares them with Pier Luigi Nervi's work, the Italian master of concrete construction. As concrete can be made into many different shapes, the buildings and the domes, slopes and spiral staircases they contain have an innovative, seminal quality. Those familiar with Emigholz's work will note that the skewed camera angles used in the past are replaced by straight-on views. Moreover, the ancient constructions seem more dynamic than those of the last century. Almost devoid of people, the images we know from his preceding films make the ruins from the 1930s to the 70s, the familiar cement constructions of daily life with their play of light and shadow or even the Pope's Audience Hall appear more ghostly than the famous sights of the ancient world.

The Seattle Weekly's Hanna Raskin has spent the past few months posting on the Weekly's "Voracious" Blog about 100 of her favorites in the Seattle area. It's a really great list with a lot of unexpected choices that go beyond the rote, well-worn standards like "Paseo Midnight Cuban" or "Tom Douglas Crab Cake".
For example, they included Salumi, but called out their delicious tongue sandwich instead of the porchetta or the not-even-a-real-menu-item-since-its-so-rarely-available oxtail sandwich.
Thought I'd see if the Chowhound community felt like disagreeing with any of her choices or throwing out other hidden gems that would fit this list.
The one I'm not so sure on is the pretzel from Brave Horse. Maybe I need to give it another chance, but when I had it, I remember being MUCH more impressed with the tasty mustards than the pretzel itself. (I also think Brave Horse is an over-hyped, over-priced place full of annoying Amazon folks, so maybe I have a bias... I do LOVE their Sunday fried chicken dinner, though)
Alpenland Deli on Mercer Island and Hans' Deli in Burien both make much better pretzels.

Sox Acquire Another Cuban Outfielder, AL East Star Out For Season & More!
Written by Brian Rzeppa, Posted in General
We're really getting into the nitty-gritty of the MLB playoff races and teams are still adjusting their rosters in order to one-up the competition. With all of this movement, as well as some other big news, there's more than enough to talk about this week. Let's get to it!
Red Sox Sign Castillo
After months and months of speculation, the bidding for star Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo finally came to an end this week, with the Boston Red Sox coming to terms with him on a 7-year, $72 million contract that will run through his 34th birthday.
This has to be seen as redemption of sorts for the Red Sox, who lost out on heavy-hitting Cuban first baseman Jose Abreu last year. Abreu has been tearing up the league and will wind up running away with the AL Rookie of the Year this year, so it's clear Boston didn't want to let this guy slip through their fingers.
As for what Castillo brings to the table, he's been described as a smaller version of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig. He's known to have above average speed, as well as solid contact and power skills. In the field, he's capable of playing both center field and right field.
I'm definitely a fan of this move for the Red Sox. At just around $10 million per year, the investment in him isn't so great that it'll hinder the team's flexibility in the future, and if his game translates as well to the MLB as Abreu, Puig and fellow Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has to this point, it could be seen as a bonafide steal. Do you wish the Cubs had upped their offer for Castillo?
Tigers Tumbling
With a hot start to their season back in April, the Detroit Tigers looked like they were solid contenders to make a World Series run. With 3 aces at the top of their rotation and Miguel Cabrera in their lineup, it looked like this year could be the season that the team finally broke through and won the title.
Over the past couple of months (and the past week especially), it's looked like the Tigers will be lucky just to even make it into the playoffs. Even the acquisition of David Price hasn't been able to offset the struggles of the team and it really doesn't look too bright for them right now.
After getting embarrassed by the Minnesota Twins in a 20-6 thrashing, the team followed that up with yet another loss. They turned things around yesterday, but consistency has been a problem for them all year long.
With a payroll sitting around $170 million (good for third in all of baseball) it would have to be seen as a colossal disappointment if they somehow managed to miss the playoffs. It's definitely not too late for them to turn it around, but they're going to have to start winning games sooner or later. Do you think the Tigers will end up topping the Royals in the AL Central?
Orioles Get Bad News; Make Changes
Back to the AL East, as the division-leading Baltimore Orioles are going to have to overcome a major loss in their lineup. After tearing a ligament in his left knee to end last season early, Manny Machado has done it yet again, tearing the same ligament, just this time in his right knee. Yet again, he'll be done for the season.
This is a major blow for the Fightin' Showalters, who are trying to clinch their first AL East title in 17 years. Along with this stroke of bad luck, the team also decided to replace one of their big free agent acquisitions from last offseason in the starting rotation.
Ubaldo Jimenez, who signed a contract worth $50 million towards the end of the offseason, wasn't putting anyone's doubts to rest this season. Those who saw his post All-Star break numbers from last year as a fluke may be proven correct, as they've replaced him in the rotation with Miguel Gonzalez.
Overall, I still think the Orioles have what it takes to wind up taking home the divisional crown, but the loss of Machado will really hurt any chances they had for a deep postseason run. Looking towards the future, yet another knee injury to their young third baseman can't look all that great, either. Do you think the Orioles will win the AL East?
This Week's MVP: Marcell Ozuna (.478/.480/.957, 3 HR, 10 RBI)
This Week's Cy Young: Jake Arrieta (1-0, 0.64 ERA, 14 K)
