In additional to most all of my art work from my gallery being for sale, here you will find art-based merchandise you can purchase, even if the works(s) they are based on have already been sold!
I created this adorable tee out of a pencil drawing I made of a little girl & a quote from Victor Hugo: "There is nothing like a dream to create the future." I'd been embarking on a lot of life changes, and this quote really inspired me.
After getting so much positive feedback on the drawing, I decided to make her into a tee, so I could take her with me wherever I go.
Click the link here to get a tee for yourself!
(And please note, the printed image will come out looking pretty much as it appears on me, to the left, even though on the Zazzle web site the print appears much darker).
I painted this piece back when I was 16 years old, and it remains one of my favorites to this day!
Since it's one of my first paintings, the original is not for sale, which is why I decided to create post cards, not only so that I could share the image with as many people as possible, but also to benefit the World Wildlife Fund.
Each one is $5 including shipping; get yours here!
My I Have a Dream 2013 project was so rewarding; both the process of collaborating with so many wonderful people, as well as being able to honor such a phenomenal human being, really reinforced my perception of art & why I make it.
The original painting, after touring various gallery shows, is finally available for sale (please inquire here), but now you can also get a postcard version of your very own!
They are only $5 each including shipping – get a few & honor the people in your life who are making a difference! Get Postcards Here

Unanswered: Cli0102e sqlstate=07006
Hello guys,
right now I'm trying to run a stored procedure from a vb.net application, but I always get the error in the title. I already checked whether there are any wrong datatypes, but everything seems to be fine.
I don't know whether anyone can help me out all as this is more of a vb.net problem, but maybe you guys can give me details about the error message itself. Does it have to have something to do with cast/conversion?
Procedure: "CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "ADDON21C"."ENDEJOB_KERNSELECT_TEMP" ( OUT @result BIGINT, IN @counter SMALLINT ) LANGUAGE SQL SPECIFIC SQL120726112506300 P1: BEGIN CASE @counter WHEN 1 THEN DELETE FROM "EndeJob_Helper_VZEnde_temp"; WHEN 2 THEN DELETE FROM "EndeJob_Helper_VZEnde_temp"; ELSE DELETE FROM "EndeJob_Helper_VZEnde_temp"; END CASE; SET @result = 0; END P1"
Part of the application code: Sub Main(ByVal args As String()) 'Parameter(einlesen) Dim Mandant As Int16 = 1 Dim DbType As Integration.Mandanten.DatabaseType = Integration.Mandanten.DatabaseType.AddonDB Dim Command As String = "ENDEJOB_KERNSELECT_TEMP" Dim result As Long? = Nothing Try For index As Int16 = 1 To 3 Dim paras As New HashSet(Of System.Data.Common.DbParameter) paras.Add(New DB2Parameter("@counter", DB2Type.SmallInt)) paras(0).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input paras(0).Value = index result = Database.DbWrapper****nInsertStoredProcedure(Command, paras, Mandant, DbType, 0) MsgBox("Statement No " & index & " ist durch") Next Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) result = 1 End Try
The Out parameter (result) is set as long in the application and bigint in the procedure. This should be fine, too. So I really have no clue what's going on.
I ran the sp already via the dbms (dbv) and it works fine. So the problem must be somewhere in my application.
I tried a bunch of things already like changing the datatype of the out parameter (counter) to string/varchar, but the same error message comes up.
Would really appretiate any kind of help and please no links to the db2 documentation. I already googled for about an hour and checked most of those probably already.

There appear to be unpaired "(quotes) on the CREATE?
fwiw - an hour is not very long for trying to find something. . .

"[IBM][CLI Driver] CLI0102E Invalid conversion. SQLSTATE=07006"
The first quote is obviously a typo. I mentioned already that I can call the procedure without any problems in my dbms.
By the time you made this very helpful post I searched for about 4 hours for an answer. I do know how to use google and I do realize when it doesn't help me anymore. This seems to be a very unique problem. That's why I posted this in the forum.
I do get that I am the one asking for help, but that doesn't mean that you can behave however rude you want...

When asking for help, please give relevant facts about your environment.
Post your *db2 client* Version and fixpack . (You also should always post your DB2 server version and fixpack and operating system).
Post also relevant entries from your db2cli.ini or db2dsdriver.cfg.
you are mapping the BIGINT output-parameter from the procedure, to a LONG in vb.
If you take a CLI trace, can you see which action throws the conversion error?

I see 2 parameters defined in the stored proc, but only one in the .NET code. Where's the .NET parameter that corresponds with the stored proc OUT parameter?

Chapter Titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese
Chapter 18: Dobby's Reward
(For the romanisation of Chinese and Japanese, see Transliteration. To understand the writing systems of CJV, see Writing Systems. For word order notes, see Word Order)
Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese character is shown in parentheses.
|Chinese (Mainland)
Duōbǐ de bàocháng
| 多比 Duōbǐ
= 'Dobby'.
的 de = connecting particle
报偿 bàocháng = 'recompense'.
|Dobby's recompense
|Chinese (Taiwan)
Duōbǐ de jiǎngshǎng
= 'Dobby'.
的 de = connecting particle
獎賞 jiǎngshǎng = 'reward'.
|Dobby's reward
Dobii no go-hoobi
Dobii = 'Dobby'.
の no = connecting particle
ごほうび go-hōbi = 'reward'
|Dobby's reward
|Phần thưởng cho Dobby
|phần thưởng
(分賞) = 'reward,
cho = 'for'.
Dobby (pronunciation: Đốp-bi).
|Reward for Dobby
The Chinese and Taiwanese versions use different words for 'reward'. 报偿 bàocháng means 'to repay, recompense'. 獎賞 jiǎngshǎng means 'award, reward'.
For go-hōbi, the Japanese version uses hiragana (ごほうび) rather than Chinese characters (ご褒美), an interesting illustration of the subtleties involved in Japanese writing. Hiragana is chosen partly because the characters for hōbi (褒美) are rather difficult and not commonly used, but also because go-hōbi (which is made up of the honorific go- plus the word hōbi 'reward') is a common everyday expression that is used even to children. By showing it in hiragana, the translator conveys the everyday tone of 'a reward for being good boy'. Using characters would have conveyed a stiff, official impression. (For information on the Japanese writing system, see CJV Writing Systems).

Miguel de Unamuno Quotes About ConsciousnessQuotes about: Consciousness
Art Atheism Consciousness Death Doubt Faith Giving God History Life Love Lying Memories Neighbors Philosophy Religion Science Soul Suffering Truth Vision
I believe in God as I believe in my friends, because I feel the breath of His affections, feel His invisible hand, drawing me, leading me, grasping me; because I possess an inner consciousness of a particular Providence and of a universal mind that marks out for me the course of my own destiny.
Talking to a peasant one day, I suggested to him the hypothesis that there might indeed be a God who governs heaven and earth, a Consciousness or Conscience of the Universe, but that even so it would not be sufficient reason to assume that the soul of every man was immortal in the traditional and concrete sense. And he replied, "Then what good is God?

THIS one had nowhere near the profile of the Dale Thomas reunion with old footy friends.
And, in terms of influence on the result, Stewart Crameri's first duel with former Essendon teammates last night was a fizzer too.
Yes, the Western Bulldogs will point out that Crameri's value was far more important than the individual goals that didn't flow him way.
But he was traded into the Doggies' kennel primarily on the basis that he was Essendon's leading goalkicker for the past three seasons.
A quiet night is an apt, if kind, description as the new Dog wasn't among the eight goal contributors, took just one mark, not in a dangerous position, and eventually finished with 11 possessions, three tackles and one behind.
What Crameri did do was keep versatile Bomber Michael Hurley on high alert, away from the mainstream action in what so often seemed a selfless decoy role.
Crameri presented several times on the lead, only to be ignored, particularly in the frantic final quarter when the game was in the balance and the Doggies couldn't buy a goal.
The Bulldogs midfielders and rebound defenders preferred to single out high-marking Liam Jones, livewire crumber Luke Dahlhaus or even Adam Cooney on the burst.
How times change so rapidly in football. Crameri and Hurley were key targets in James Hird's Bomber forward structure last season.
Now Crameri is in different colours and Hurley is down back trying to stop goals instead of slotting them.
While the former productive Bomber struggled to put his imprint on the contest, he could only watch helplessly from the other end of Etihad Stadium as Essendon's 2014 model, a varied mix of forwards, from the wily Paul Chapman to young flyer Joe Daniher and the controversial Jake Carlisle experiment, wore his boys down in the second half.
Crameri's first face-to-face meeting with his former teammates was hardly the stuff of genuine confrontation.
Cale Hooker gave him a couple of half-hearted shoves on the way to his defensive post and Hurley barely acknowledged his familiar foe prior to the opening bounce.
And there was only a smattering of boos from Bomber fans when Crameri gathered a half-volley and fed off a quick handpass after two minutes.
Crameri initially played deep, isolating himself with Hurley for one-out contests. But that rarely occurred in this defence-dominated battle.
The former Bomber did chase and dispossess Hurley in the last minute of the first quarter. Alas, his left foot shot on the run from just inside the 50m arc hit the post.
It reflected a night he won't remember with any lasting fondness.

Never miss another 'Will Franken' show
Things We Did Before Reality: Will Franken
Will Franken
American Will Franken is a critically acclaimed satirist and high-speed, quick-change character comedian. Franken's humour is rooted in the British sketch comedy tradition, notably Monty Python. Onstage, he portrays an eclectic mix of characters through a series of interconnected vignettes. His skits are often satirical, skewering a range of subcultures and political views, often absurdist.
'Strange, sometimes awkward, often funny and always interesting, Franken's act is
like Marmite – ****ing awesome – and deserves an audience as big as his character roster' (Three Weeks)
'Amidst the anodyne wannabe TV comics who are 40% hair product, 40% ego and 20% talent there is still plenty of the real thing to be found, comedically. Will Franken... is absolutely brilliant. Iron satire in a velvet glove. Clever, creative comedy' (The Scotsman)
'The sharp-clawed satire on US culture and liberal piety, and the constant upending of what it is we think we're watching, make for a unique and compelling hour... You can't take your eyes off these inspired outpourings' (The Guardian)
'Will Franken is an astounding character comedian who makes almost everyone else in his field look like lazy chancers' (Chortle).

Why people from some states move more than others
In recent posts I've taken note of Americans' declining mobility and looked at the states where people are more and less likely to move. Today, I look at the factors that are associated with states with low levels of mobility.
With the help of my Martin Prosperity Institute colleague Charlotta Mellander, we correlated the key social, economic and other factors that are associated with low mobility or what we're calling "stuck states"—those with higher percentages of people who were born in their current state of residence. Having a higher percentage of residents born in a state suggests a low rate of mobility in that state.
Our analysis looked at the role of income and other economic factors; human capital, the nature of the labor force, and high-tech industry; openness and cultural diversity; and personality types which psychologists have identified as factors in people's willingness to move. In addition, we examined the relationships between low mobility states and indicators of health like the rates of smoking and obesity, as well as measures of well-being and happiness. As always, it's important to point out that our analysis is provisional and that correlation does not equal causation; other factors that we haven't considered are likely to come into play. But our findings are intriguing nonetheless and suggest that the divergence between "stuck" and "mobile" states is a factor, and perhaps a key one, in America's economic and cultural divide.
So what features seem to best distinguish states with low levels of mobility? Religion is one. The correlation between the percentage of people who say religion plays an important role in their lives and the percentage of residents born in that state is substantial (at .46, it is one of the highest in our analysis). Stuck states have higher levels of poverty (with a correlation of .33). The economies and job markets of low mobility states are also more blue-collar, with higher shares of working class jobs (a correlation of .4).
Low mobility states have lower levels of income and human capital, measured as the percentage of adults that are college grads. The correlations between the percentage of residents born in a state are negative for income (-.37) and human capital (-.3). These findings suggest that limited mobility does have an effect on state, as well as individual, economic success.
Low mobility states are also less diverse. There is a strong negative correlation between the percent of residents born in a state and both the percent of population that is gay (-.51) and foreign-born (-.47). Diversity, it appears, is an important factor in mobility and the ability of states to attract new people from elsewhere.
Interestingly, states with low rates of mobility have a particular personality profile. Research by Cambridge University social psychologist Jason Rentfrow charts the geography of what psychologists dub Big Five personality types – agreeable, conscientious, extrovert, neurotic and open-to-experience. States with higher levels of agreeable, extroverted and neurotic personality types are much more likely to have a higher percentage of residents born in that state (with correlations of .46, .49 and .4 respectively). Conversely, the percentage of residents born in a state is negatively associated with openness-to-experience personality types (-.32). "These findings," Rentfrow notes, "are consistent with recent research on personality and migration, which indicates that people who are agreeable are more likely to settle near family, and hence stay in the same state, and extroverts are more likely to move within their home state than to another state. The fact that mobility is higher in open states likely a result of creative, curious, and entrepreneurial types migrating to diverse places where their psychological needs can be easily met."
The ability to move to find new work has long been a cornerstone of the American Dream. There is growing concern that being stuck in place contributes to higher levels of unemployment. Our analysis, however, finds no correlation whatsoever between the percentage of residents who were born in a state and either the overall rate of unemployment or its change over the past year. There is also no correlation between it and the level of income inequality. States with higher percentages of home grown residents do however have higher poverty rates (with a correlation of .33). State mobility appears to be related to residents' perceptions of their future economic conditions. The percentage of residents born in a state is closely associated with the percentage of people in the state who see the economy as getting worse (.34) and negatively associated with the percentage who perceive the economy to be getting better (-.29). This likely reflects a difference in the levels of income and skills that underlie these divergent perceptions about the economy.
State-level mobility is also associated with key dimensions of health and well-being, according to our analysis. Low mobility states have higher levels of obesity and smoking and lower levels of happiness and well-being. The percentage of residents born in a state is positively correlated with smoking (.34) and obesity (.41), as well as with deaths from cardiovascular disease (.33), heart disease (.38), and cancer (.45). Conversely, the level of happiness or subjective well-being is negatively associated with the percentage of residents born in a state (with a correlation of -.28). While many have focused on the economic effects of mobility, our analysis suggests it plays an important role in health and happiness as well.
If mobility was once considered to be a quintessentially American attribute, it is now one that only an elite sliver of the population can lay claim to. It is both a significant shift and a sobering one.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- When Mark Sanford walked out of the governor's mansion in 2011, he had been censured by the legislature over state travel expenses he used for an affair with an Argentine woman, had paid the largest ethics fine ever in South Carolina and faced a voting public that had become disillusioned with the one-time rising star.
His conservative fiscal credentials were still intact though, and now the Republican, 52, is seriously weighing a bid for the congressional seat he once held. The opening comes because 1st District Rep. Tim Scott was appointed to fill the remaining two years of Sen. Jim DeMint's seat. DeMint announced earlier this month he was resigning, and Scott is expected to be vacating his congressional seat on Jan. 2.
Acknowledging reports that he will try to re-enter politics, the two-term governor wrote in an email to The Associated Press late Saturday: "To answer your question, yes the accounts are accurate." Sanford promised "further conversation on all this" later.
The two-term governor was once seen as a possible ultraconservative contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
That was before he vanished from the state for five days in 2009. Reporters were told he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. He later tearfully acknowledged at a news conference announcing his affair that he had been visiting Maria Belen Chapur. He later called her his soul mate in an interview with AP, and the two were engaged earlier this year.

Deniz and Khoa's engagement session in Istanbul was one of many firsts and mosts for us. For starters, it was Daniel and I's first time in the beautiful country of Turkey. It is also furthest we've ever travelled for an engagement session, and the first time we've ever travelled with a couple before their wedding. As it turns out, Deniz and Khoa were very compatible travel parters for Daniel and I. Having grown up in Istanbul, Deniz proved to be an excellent tour guide; taking us to all the sights and suggesting what and where we should eat (For the foodies, highlights were: Turkish breakfast – especially the fried cheese; Lahmacun – a Turkish pizza of sorts; mastic ice cream; salt-crusted fish flambe; and my personal favorite, Cigkofte – the most delicious raw meat I've ever had).
We spent a total of three days in Istanbul with Deniz and Khoa, and when we weren't eating, we were visiting the sights – Aya Sophia, Dolmabahçe palace, Kapalı Çarşı (the Grand Bazaar) – and of course taking photos. On our last day, they treated us to a very unique and traditional experience: the Turkish bath, or Hamam. If traveling with these two hadn't yet bonded us, then for Khoa and Daniel, and Deniz and I, being scrubbed down in a hot room while half naked was sure to do the trick!
I have to say, I think taking a trip together is probably the best way we've ever gotten to know a couple. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know a place that is so meaningful to both Deniz and Khoa, and to have done their engagement photos there. And to think, this trip was just part one… we are so excited to join them in Turks and Caicos for their wedding next month!

1) Realize your best friend is in a relationship that makes him at least a little bit happy
2) Realize you should probably respect that
3) Realize if/when they break up, which to you seems totally inevitable, then you can tell him
4) Realize if you do tell him and they don't break up, it will be even more awkward, because then (at least to his wife) you'll forever be that chick who made a play for her husband right before they got engaged and she'll totally rip up your Christmas card every year
5) Realize you were never really going to say anything more in the first place anyway because a) you already more or less told him and b) you're a big chicken
Talking to Chris was pretty awful, partly because I felt like a jerk, and partly because he said a lot of really sweet things that made me have a lot of second thoughts (too late).
I think his pride was hurt more than anything else. I think he thought I was just playing hard to get all of those times I told him I wasn't ready to be serious, and realizing that I actually wasn't ready to be serious was a surprise.
When I told Chris that I DID like him, and couldn't we still be friends and hang out and see what happens, he looked at me with this kind of frustrated expression and said, "Why, because that's working so well for you with Seth?"
Point taken.
I must've apologized something like twenty times. Near the end there he told me I didn't have anything to be sorry for, and he drawled out, "But I AM awfully sorry you're so resistant to my fairly obvious charms." Maybe you had to be there, but honestly, with the accent? Very cute.
We left things on good terms. If we see each other at church or at an activity or at a party he'll probably be friendly. It'll be easy for him because he undoubtedly already has twenty girls lining up to go out with him.
It wasn't really the conversation itself that sucked - it was how I felt afterward. I'm having serious misgivings about having told him the truth. I know it was probably the honorable thing to do or whatever - why play games - but do guys really need to have the whole truth, all the time? What happened to hedging your bets? I feel so conflicted. I think I'm gonna be regretting this a lot longer than he is. I'm a lot worried this is my first step on the road to the whole seventeen cats plus me thing.
I can't stop eating either. I'm just so stressed and there is NO-ONE to talk to. Melissa's ticked, I can't tell Seth a lot of it, Kristen's married... I need to quit eating so much or I'm gonna be back in my tens, and I really don't want that - not after working so freaking hard. I wanted to be in a six by Halloween, but that's not gonna happen now. I suck.
Hey guys... Just an fyi, my blog makes a lot more sense if you start reading it from the beginning.

How to chicken out...

Buzzi Unicem improved turnover by 9.1% to EUR3,205m in 2007. Based on a constant structure and exchange rates, the underlying increase was 8.8%. Net debt at the end of the year stood 2.0% higher at EUR621m. Group cement deliveries were 2.2% higher at 34.1Mt, with improved volumes being registered in most markets with the exception of the United States and Italy. Ready-mixed concrete deliveries improved by 2.0% to 17Mm³. The full results will be announced on the 27th of March.
Italian turnover declined by 4.2% to EUR961m. Including exports, cement shipments declined by 1.2% to 8.46Mt, but the average selling price achieved did improve. The reduction in cement demand was most noticeable in housebuilding and civil engineering activity also fell back. This was more notably reflected in a 10.9% reduction in ready-mixed concrete deliveries to 6.82Mm³.
In Germany, turnover rose by 7.3% to EUR515m, helped by higher prices. Lower housebuilding activity was largely offset by good levels of activity in commercial and industrial building and in civil engineering. Average cement prices improved by 7.7% and, thanks to higher exports, volumes grew by 4.1% to 5.35m tonnes.
The United States business saw turnover decline by 8.0% to EUR851m, though in dollar terms it was broadly unchanged. Cement shipments were 4.1% lower at 9.4Mt, while prices were an average 5.2% higher. Helped by some acquisitions, the reduction in ready-mixed concrete deliveries was just 0.4% and prices were improved by 5.2% in response to higher cement and delivery costs.
The 50%-owned Mexican associate Corporaciòn Moctezuma increased cement shipments by 18.0% to 4.9Mt. Average prices were 2.0% lower, in part reflecting a shift from bagged to bulk shipments. Ready-mixed concrete deliveries rose by 12.3% to 1.6Mm³, with prices broadly unchanged over the year. The turnover advanced by 7.6% to EUR212m, after a negative currency effect of approximately EUR20m.

Filed under: Concept Cars, Coupes, Hatchbacks, Scion
With slumping sales at Scion, the automaker is looking to expand its offering of specialized niche-oriented vehicles. Criticism has swept its most recent concept: the Hako Coupe.
Scion sales have hit a slump in the last 17 months, with a peak of 175,000 units sold in 2006, the youth-marketed brand's sales have dipped to 130,000 vehicles last year. The solution will likely come from three new vehicles to be released in the next few years. Scion's veep, Jack Hollis, told Automotive News in an interview during the Big Apple bash, that Scion is "studying two or three models in conceptual form right now." Unfortunately, one of those was the Hako Coupe concept that was unveiled in New York and was met with considerable backlash from attendees and those of you following the show from home (check the comments Scion).
While a two-door xB was the prototypical answer to a question no one asked, Hollis questioned (out loud) what products are in the pipeline. "Could it be a truck? A hybrid? An SUV? A subcompact roadster? We are not limiting our search." We'll answer those for you: no, maybe, no and Hell yes. The Scion rep said that the current 130,000 mark is good for the three "core" vehicles in its lineup, but products that are more niche oriented – comprising annual sales around 20,000 to 25,000 units a year – are being seriously considered. If that means more models aimed at enthusiasts, something that's been sorely lacking since the brand's introduction in 2003, then we're all for it. The rumors of a RWD, Subaru boxer-powered coupe are still swirling and that could be a serious hit if Scion decides to bring in Stateside.

Municipal Stadium in Kansas City was a true historical site that saw a great deal of important sporting moments during its lifetime. For more than half a century, it was home to the biggest professional sports that the city had to offer. Even though it is gone now, it is still remembered fondly by sports fans from there and those lucky enough to have experienced it too.
Here is a look back at some fun facts about Kansas City's Municipal Stadium.
-Municipal Stadium was home to the Kansas City Chiefs from 1963 to 1971.
-A team that went by both the Kansas City Blues and Kansas City Cowboys played in Municipal Stadium while in the National Football League from 1924 to 1926.
-From 1955 to 1967, Municipal Stadium was home to the Kansas City Athletics who would go on to move to Oakland.
-The famous Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues called the stadium home from 1923 to 1931 and then again from 1937 to 1954.
-The Kansas City Royals played there from 1969 to 1972.
-From 1923 to 1954, the American Association's Kansas City Blues baseball team played their home games at Municipal Stadium.
-Municipal Stadium was even a professional soccer field when the Kansas City Spurs played there from 1968 to 1970.
-Prior to the 1955 baseball season when the Kansas City Athletics came to town, almost the entire stadium was demolished and rebuilt.
-From 1923 to 1937, the stadium was known as Muehlebach Field. It was then Ruppert Stadium from 1937 to 1943. It would go by the name of Blues Stadium from 1943 to 1954, before finally going by Municipal Stadium from 1955 on.
-The address of Municipal Stadium was 22nd Street and Brooklyn Avenue.
-In 1924, the first Negro League World Series game was played at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium.
-The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is located just a few city blocks from where the stadium once stood.
-The reason for the renaming of the stadium to Ruppert Stadium in 1937 was that the Yankees had just purchased the Kansas City Blues as a minor league team and the owner of the Yankees at the time was Colonel Jacob Ruppert.
-In 1955, when Major League Baseball's Athletics moved to Kansas City and into Municipal Stadium, the stadium was without a big league caliber scoreboard. The scoreboard from Braves Field in Boston, where the Boston Braves had played up until 1952, was purchased and relocated to Kansas City.
-In the early 1960s, the Athletics kept a small zoo filled with goats and sheep behind the right field fence. Fans could picnic there and everyone laughed as the animals would scurry away from home runs hit over the wall.
-Municipal Stadium hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1960.
-During their first tour of the United States, the Beatles would play a concert in Municipal Stadium on September 17th, 1964.
-During the years in which the Kansas City Chiefs called Municipal Stadium home, both they and their opponents both had their team benches on the same side of the field.
-The final pro football game played at Municipal Stadium was a double overtime loss by the Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins on December 25th, 1971. This was not only the only playoff game ever played there, but it would also go down as the longest game in NFL history.
-Municipal Stadium was demolished in 1976, approximately four years after the Chiefs moved into Arrowhead Stadium and the Royals moved into Royals Stadium (now known as Kaufman Stadium).

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. You purchased your 740Li xDrive because its a reputation for performance and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? BMW vehicle owners have become used to a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their 740Li xDrive around town. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile.
In the earliest forms of transportation, it was realized that the wheel would turn much more efficiently if some friction was reduced at the space where it rotated. You may not know this, but your BMW 740Li xDrive benefits from the inventions that date back about 5,000 years such as the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Because your BMW 740Li xDrive wheel hub needs to be bolted to a fixed position (wheel carrier) but rotate freely around the axle, a wheel bearing is usually pressed into the center. Depending on your vehicle options or the complexity of the wheel hub assembly, the ABS ring and sensor will be installed.
Don't let a Wheel Hub & Bearing repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate BMW 740Li xDrive part for your project or repair. Need 2015, 2014, 2013 BMW 740Li xDrive Wheel Hub & Bearing parts? We've got them right here.

It also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the vehicle's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions.

LEICESTER, Mass. – Becker College fell to Regis College 16-7 in New England Collegiate Conference women's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field. The win lifts the pride to 11-7 (5-0 NECC), earning them the top seed in the upcoming NECC Tournament. The loss drops the Haws to 6-9 (4-1 NECC).
Regis jumped on the board 4:41 into the game when Grace Politis (Billerica, Mass.) scored on feed from Krysten Sheppard (Medford, Mass.). The Pride increased their lead 21 seconds later when Katie Haidemenos (Warwick, R.I.) scored top shelf on an assist from Politis.
Becker cut the Regis advantage in half when Kailee Ruyack (Beacon, N.Y.) broke free all alone, to score her 23th goal of the season.
The Hawks excitement was short lived as the Pride went on to score seven unanswered goals. Freshman Sam Salamone (Milford, Mass.) tallied three of the seven goals and Politis netted two more, making the score 9-1.
Becker finally stopped the Regis run when Ashley Mossey (Ballston Lake, N.Y.) scored on a free position shot. Regis went on to score four more goals before the half to give them a comfortable 13-2 lead.
Becker opened the second half with two quick goals from Ruyack and Mossey, but Sam Salamone responded with back to back goals to make the score 15-4. The Hawks got late goals from Mindy Moreau (Canterbury, Conn.) and Samantha-Jo Dilkes (Little Falls, N.J.), but the first half run by Regis proved to be too much as the Pride earned the 16-7 victory.
Sam Salamone led the way for the Pride, scoring a game high seven goals. Grace Politis clipped in with four goals and two assists. Regis goalie Emma Decker (Southborough, Mass.) made seven saves in a winning effort.
Ashley Mossey led the Hawks with three goals and Kailee Ruyack added a pair in the loss. Freshman goalie Shelby Wicks (Shaftsbury, Vt.) made ten saves.
Both teams return to action on Wednesday, May 1 when they host the opening round of the New England Collegiate Conference. The match-ups with be announced by the league office tomorrow evening.

Nature Calls: Wallpapers for Warm Summer Months
You can pretty much call us nature lovers, so long as it holds some sort of technical twist to it. We've fallen in love with wooden iPod docks, hand-held solar chargers, and even outdoor cactus gardens. However, what really flexes our green muscle is our infatuation with serene nature wallpapers, which we've covered plenty here before, but it's something we can always use more of, especially when avoiding the 105 degree heatwaves outside our air-cooled home offices.
You can grab the whole wallpaper pack by nitzua over on Customize.org. Also, check out his original wallpaper package over here.

It looks like developers were just waiting for Apple to introduce the Files app in iOS 11. Within hours of the introduction of the feature, we've seen multiple developers introduce Files support, and it seems abundantly clear the app is going to transform how people approach iOS productivity.
What is Apple's Files app?
Files is Apple's approach to real file storage, edit and retrieval on iOS. It is an app in which you can access every item you hold in online storage services.
The idea is that you can work on something on your iPhone, edit it on your iPad, and finish up on your Mac, PC or other device. Edits made inside an item in Files or one of the file services it hosts are automatically synced to all the other systems you have that use that service.

Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov, archive photo
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov does not consider the important issue of the timing of the restoration of friendly relations between Ukraine and Russia. He stated this in an interview with RBC.
"I don't think someone will be able to give such predictions (regarding the restoration of friendly relations with Ukraine – ed.). This is the first. And the second, from the point of view of our current reality, status of the Crimea as a region of the Russian Federation, it is not so important, because it is unlikely that it will ever change,"- said Peskov.

This Peskov said that relations with Ukraine have played an important role in the political and economic life of Russia.
"Of course, Ukraine is extremely important for us important for us in terms of interstate relations, it is important for us in economic terms, it is important in humanitarian terms. You know that blended families, and family relations, and so on and so forth. It is difficult to overestimate, it is important still, despite all the costs that the situation in which we got together with Ukraine. Quickly go through this pain will not work. Although, as you probably see, and as you know, in Russia there is no prejudice against the Ukrainians was not there and, I hope, will not" – said Peskov.

The Vici.org map is available as a javascript widget and can be included on any web page. Just follow three steps.
1. Include the required libraries
The Vici widget requires 3 libraries to run. These are Google Maps, jQuery and of course the Vici library. Include these libraries in your page by adding the following code between the <head>-tags of the page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://vici.org/js/vici-latest.min.js"></script>
2. Determine where the map should be shown
Reserve a place on the page for the map by adding a <div>-tag with the desired layout. Give this element an id, for example "map". Here is an example:
3. Activate the widget
Activate the widget by putting the following code on the bottom of the page, just before the </body>-tag:
var mapObj = new ViciWidget(document.getElementById('map'), {"zoom": 14});
Use the id of the element you want the map to be shown. In this example the map has an initial zoom of 14. You may also chose the initial lattitude or longitude. You can do this for example by replacing {"zoom": 14} with {"center": { "lat": 50.84, "lng": 5.69}, "zoom": 8}.
There are more options. In the next example, the widget will highlight the most interesting locations for the displayed area. It will show visible objects only, both archeological and touristic, but it provides the user with a menu that enables him to change what is shown.
var mapObj = new ViciWidget(document.getElementById('map'), {
"highlights": 2,
"showPrefbox" : true,
"preferences": {"visibility": "onlyVisible", "era": "RomanAndContemporary"}
Example implementations
Here are some example implementations:
- The most simple call, using all default options
- A map with touristic locations only
- A map based on the Pelagios map that shows highlights and provides a menu.
Parameters reference table
|Initial zoomlevel.
|Integer: values 5 to 18. Defaults to 10
If user changes the zoom of the map, the new zoom be kept (using a cookie) and used next time the map is displayed.
|Initial center of the map.
|Object containing values for lattitude "lat" and longitude "lng": values 5 to 18. For example { "lat": 50.84, "lng": 5.69}. If none given, the previous location is used (stored in a cookie) or otherwise the center of Rome.
|Map background
|Possible values: "SATELLITE" (default), "HYBRID" or "HYBRID" for the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire (DARE) map.
|Language of the interface
|A string containing a two letter languagecode. Supported values are "de", "en", "fr", "nl". Defaults to the language setting of the webbrowser, with a fallback to English ("en").
|Featured locations
|An integer value that sets the maximum number of locations that are given extra attention by showing them in a 'featured' box. For example, the value 2 will highlight upto two locations. Defaults to 0, meaning no locations are highlighted.
|User customizable views
|A boolean, the value true will show a clickable menu in the lower left corner that allows the user to select what objects are shown on the map and what map to use. Default value is false (no menu).
|Customizable views
|Using the preferences object one can define what is shown on the map. These setting can be altered by the user using the preferences menu. So when the preference menu is disabled (showPrefbox set to false) these setting cannot be overridden by the user. Two aspects can be controlled, the kind of objects to be shown, archeological or touristic (the "era" property, possible values are "onlyContemporary", "RomanAndContemporary" and "onlyRoman") and whether invisible objects should displayed or not (the "visibility" property, possible values are "onlyVisible" and "anyVisibility").

The trick involves throwing the diabolo off to one side and whipping the diabolo with the string so that you catch the diabolo and keep on going.
Go To:
Grip and Hook Whip
- Hold both sticks in your right hand. Now grab the left-hand side of the string and pull up. Then catch the diabolo on the 'doubled-over' string.
- Loop the end of the string around the tips of the sticks and turn side on.
- Throw the diabolo into the air (as if you are tossing a pancake). Then do a whip catch.
- Get the diabolo spinning fairly fast. Then throw the diabolo up (not too high, making sure each of the cups of the diabolo are as level as possible with each other.
- As soon as the diabolo has left the string, put your left stick in your right hand (so both sticks are in the right) while stepping in front and to the left of the diaolo as it is in the air (with the right leg).
- As soon as you can, prepare to perform a whip catch. If all goes to plan the diabolo should hit the ground, shoot between your legs and sit up nicely above the ground in front of you so you can whip catch it.
Finger Grind Whip
- Get the diabolo spinning fairly fast and hold both sticks in one hand. Move your free finger towards the axle and let your first two fingers rest on it (underneath). Then remove the string to leave the diabolo spinning on your fingers. Now turn side on with your fingers pointing towards you and the diabolo spinning away from you.
- Throw the diabolo up a little and whip catch it.
Above Shoulder Whip
- Do the start of grip hook and whip but instead of throwing it infront, flick your wrist backwards so it goes over your shoulder.
- Immediately get the string so it is under the diabolo by lifting the sticks over your shoulder.
- Now whip upwards towards the diabolo, which should be just above head height, over and behind your shoulder. Catching the diabolo on one of the strings.
- Swing the diabolo around to the front into a normal position.
Underhand Whipcatch
- Put your left stick in your right hand, so both sticks are on the right.
- Grab the left hand string and pop the diabolo up onto the doubled-over string. (You can turn side-on)
- Throw the diabolo into the air and swing the string up and towards the axle, aiming to catch the diabolo on the right hand side of the string (unlike a normal whipcatch).

Heerenveen v PSV - Saturday 18:45
After a disappointing campaign that saw them finish down in 12th last term, Heerenveen look set to get back in the top-half this season as they've won their last four games to climb up to 4th. Champions PSV bounced back from a harsh home defeat against leaders Feyenoord by winning 3-1 at Excelsior, though they were held to a 2-2 draw at Rostov in the Champions League in midweek.
Heerenveen lost seven of their 17 home games last term, but they've picked up seven points from their three games at the Abe Lenstra Stadion so far this season. However, when hosting top-three teams they're just W2-D2-L5 since 2013/14 as they conceded at least twice in seven of these games. Furthermore, four of their five defeats were by more than one goal as four of these games saw more than four goals.
PSV have now remarkably won their last 13 road games, leading at the break in 10 of the last 11 and scoring more than twice in eight of the last nine. With that in mind, we're backing PSV/PSV Half Time/Full Time and we're also going to have a punt on PSV to win and Over 4.5 Goals given Heerenveen's propensity for high-scoring games when hosting the big boys.


text: Today I was out at the grill thinking, Gee what can I grill today ? When it came to mind that I haven't served up any beer can chicken in a while and it is always amusing to watch. As I was preparing the chicken of course I needed a little beer off of the can. I drank of the 1/2 that was rightfully mine and started to fill the can with spices when WHALLAH !!! DARN, HECK !!! The wife looks and says "What's the matter?" I said COOR'S LIGHT !!! She asked "Thats the problem?". I repied "Well it might be". It didnt occur to me that what Coor's Light has developed as the "Frost Brewed Liner" may or may not be a problem, I don't know what it is nor do I want to find out with an aftertaste or fire on the bird. I immediately turned it into Soda Can Chicken, what a downgrade for manhood but what could I do ? Can anyone comment on what this Frost Brewed liner is made of and Is it high heat stable? my guess is that it isn't and not worth the risk, and yes I know, shouldn't be using light beer for this to begin with but the amount of Chow I cook on the grill each year I need LIGHT beer.

Now. I realize that I am coming from a different vantage point in this than most. I have been thinking about badges, talking about badges, designing badges, critiquing badge systems, building the badge infrastructure, etc. So I'm a little close to all of this. Some may argue that makes me blind to some of the concerns raised in the blogosphere and twit-o-sphere (?) after the event, but I would actually say it makes me more tuned into them. And appreciate them even more.

Transactional Business Logic is important - often half the app for update oriented database applications. And there are issues that directly affect business agility and TCO:
What is ABL?
Developers use ABL to define simple annotations for business logic, which are enforced by the ABL runtime engine by plugging in to Hibernate/JPA events. ABL is for transactional logic, so is complementary to Rete-based Decision Rules and Process Engines. It does require the use of Hibernate/JPA.
What is the Value Proposition?
There are a number of approaches for "simple" business logic such as JSR-303 to ensure fields are not null, conform to specified values, etc. But this is not the source of the labor and complexity. Instead, we need solutions for complex, multi-table business logic - not just multi-field/multi-table constraints, but more importantly, multi-table derivations.
To communicate the value as simply as possible, we defined a database with complex logic that rolls up Line Items amounts into a Purchase Order and Customer (see the "cocktail napkin spec" below). Such a database involves many Use Cases over which the logic must apply.
And then we built it:
So, 500 lines vs. 5 annotations - ABL reduces effort by 2 orders of magnitude, is dramatically simpler, and continues to provide agility in maintenance. And they're simple enough to be transparent to Business Users, enabling a new era of partnership between IT and the business.
What about Real World complexity?
The example above is designed to communicate the point as simply as possible. But of course, your application will likely contain more complicated requirements, so it's important to understand whether these are addressed.
ABL automates Advanced Examples with remarkable power, including
What does it take to get started?
Very little - update your HIbernate configuration, add the jars and you are ready to define logic. You can start very simply, for example with constraints or auditing.
Note you can introduce ABL into existing code, since plugging into Hibernate events means you don't directly call ABL, yet your logic is enforced.
What about Architectural issues: performance, extensibility, debugging?
Multi-table logic is optimized to reduce and eliminate SQL operations. Logic is extensible and debuggable using conventional Java/Groovy approaches. It does not interfere with decisions regarding a Service Layer - in fact, it can make your service layer thin by factoring out complex multi-table logic.

I love Cinco de Mayo… so much awesome food.
Tacos, tamales, and taquitos; not to mention chips & dip.
Don't you love how they place chips and salsa in front of you the moment you sit down at a Mexican restaurant?
Light crispy chips, still glistening from the fryer.
Let's start that tradition at all restaurants. Can you imagine?! That would be the best.
Edamame shows up while your water glass is being filled?
Bruschetta comes to the table before you even order?
At my favorite local spot for Mexican food, they serve you two kinds of salsa & a to-die-for queso dip.
I always add some salsa to the queso. Gives it yummy texture.
Whoever decided to make a meal out of a bowl of melted cheese is my personal hero.
Unfortunately, traditional queso is not so good for you.
But I want to have my cake and eat it too. Literally.
So I lightened the queso recipe up with two of my favorite tricks: coconut milk & Greek yogurt.
If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know all about my fondness for Greek yogurt.
- non-fat variety still tastes great
- can be used as a substitute to lighten-up tons of dishes
- adds protein
Are you on board yet?
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 Tablespoons plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup, pico de gallo
- 1 package each, Delimex Taquitos & Tacos
- Preheat oven according to Delimex Taquitos & Tacos directions.
- Bake Delimex Taquitos & Tacos for time listed on package.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
- Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in coconut milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in Greek yogurt until well combined, about 1 minute.
- Mix in ⅔ of pico gallo, use the rest to top the dip.
- Serve with Delimex Taquitos & Tacos.
My Skinny Queso Dip pairs beautifully with Delimex Taquitos & Tacos, which I found at Walmart. Can be used as an app or main dish at your Cinco de Mayo fiesta. For more info, visit: DelimexFiesta.com
