Topic 1.3
Flower Structure and the Angiosperm Life Cycle
The flower consists of several leaflike structures attached to a specialized region of the stem called the receptacle (Web Figure 1.3.A). Sepals and petals are the most leaflike. Petals have the primary function of attracting insects to serve as pollinators, accounting for their often showy and brightly colored appearance. The stamen is the male sexual structure, and the pistil is the female sexual structure. The pistil is composed of one or more united carpels; the pistil, or in some flowers a whorl of pistils, is sometimes referred to as the gynoecium. The stamen consists of a narrow stalk called the filament and a chambered structure called the anther. The anther contains tissue that gives rise to pollen grains. The pistil consists of the stigma (the tip where pollen lands during pollination), the style (an elongated structure), and the ovary. The ovary, the hollow basal portion of the pistil, completely encloses one or more ovules. Each ovule, in turn, contains an embryo sac, the structure that gives rise to the female gamete, the egg.
Web Figure 1.3.A Schematic representation of an idealized flower of the angiosperms. (Click image to enlarge.) |
After landing on the stigma, the pollen grain germinates to form a long pollen tube, which penetrates the tissues of the style and ultimately enters the cavity of the ovary, which houses the ovule. Within the ovary, the pollen tube enters the ovule and deposits two haploid sperm cells in the embryo sac (see Web Figure 1.3.B). One sperm cell fuses with the egg to produce the zygote; the other typically fuses with the two polar nuclei to produce a specialized storage tissue termed the endosperm, which provides nutrients to the growing embryo. Endosperm tissue also provides the bulk of the worldrquote s food supply in the form of cereal grains. As in conifers, in angiosperms the outer tissues of the ovule harden into a protective seed coat. Angiosperm seeds have a second layer of protective tissues, the fruit. The fruit consists of the ovary wall and, in some cases, receptacle tissue.
Angiosperms are divided into two major groups, dicotyledons (dicots) and monocotyledons (monocots). This distinction is based primarily on the number of cotyledons, or seed leaves. In addition, the two groups differ with respect to other anatomical features, such as the arrangement of their vascular tissues, and their floral structure.
As the dominant plant group on Earth, and because of their great economic and agricultural importance, angiosperms have been studied much more intensively than other types of plants, and they are discussed extensively in this book. Plant physiologists have focused on a relatively small number of species that represent convenient experimental systems for the study of specific phenomena. Therefore, while we focus on these famous few, it is important to keep in mind the tremendous diversity of form and function that exists within the angiosperms, and the even greater diversity of form and function that is found within the plant kingdom as a whole.

Reblogged from the best of the internets:
Obama broadly follows Ronald Reagan's (second-term) security policy, George H.W. Bush's spending policy, Bill Clinton's tax policy, the bipartisan Squam Lake Group's financial-regulatory policy, Perry's immigration policy, John McCain's climate-change policy, and Mitt Romney's health-care policy (at least when Romney was governor of Massachusetts). And yet he has gotten next to no Republicans to support their own policies.
Indeed, like Clinton before him, Obama has been unable to get Republican senators like Susan Collins to vote for her own campaign-finance policies, McCain to vote for his own climate-change policy, and – most laughably – Romney to support his own health-care plan.

The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I had several pairs of Kuhl Renegade shorts, so decided to give the Raptr pants a try. They're made from the same material - it has a lot of stretch to it, but hangs naturally. The material is lightweight, which makes these appropriate for cool conditions, but they'd need a base layer for cold weather (or just a different pair of pants). They're definitely up to whatever athletic endeavors you want to throw at them.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Purchased the pants for a trip to Scotland for it's light weight and water repelling features. I purchased the pants 1 size larger than i wear for extra room. The stitching was coming out after wearing and washing the pants 2 times.
However, I liked the pants and will use them again after the stitching repairs are made to them.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Really happy with these comfy pants. As noted by another reviewer, loose but not baggy. Haven't had to use the cinch at the ankles, but nice feature to have. I do like the pockets, especially the side zip pocket. Not so the little "watch" pocket, which is too tiny for anything bigger than a stick of gum.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
These are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. They are stretchy so they move with you perfectly. They are light and dry fast. Plenty of pockets and a gussetted crotch that is great when squatting.
They are great hiking pants, I only wish they could make the same material in a zip off version.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Great pants. I prefer the pocket configuration on the Liberator Convertibles though - better places for cell phone and glasses. I hope they come out with some more colors for those.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I have worn these several times, they are loose but not to baggy. I've worn them while doing yard work, hiking, fishing, and camping. They feel good all day long and dry off in decent time also.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I bought these pants after reading about the Kuhl Raptr convertible version in a popular backpacking publication. While REI to date isn't offering this version I thought I would give these a try. My experience with all the Kuhl pants I've purchased has been great and these are no exception. The Raptr pants fit and look like they were tailored specifically for me. Lightweight material that dries quickly and stretchy enough to allow great freedom of movement make them perfect for my hiking and climbing activities. I cannot think of one thing I don't like about these pants which is why I will continue purchasing Kuhl products from REI in the future.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Raptr Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
These are great pants and I would order more. But, I will have to restitch several sections in the seams before wearing again. This doesn't really make sense given the look, feel, comfort, and the fact that it is stretchy material and not too tight. Wore/washed less than 5 days before seams started showing evidence of ripping out.

I love Winter. I'm beginning to realise that it's my favourite season now that it's getting hotter and hotter everyday here in Rosario. In this part of Argentina we don't get very low temperatures, so maybe it's a bit easier not to hate it. Plus I love wearing my scarves, coats, and boots. Here, Summer get's sticky, heavy, grumpy, unbearable, especially for those who have to work during it (me!). Is this a sign that I'm getting older? I don't care! I still love it… ha ha!
Anyway, when I see the beautiful Autumn and Winter pics my fellow bloggers post, I'm so so envious. This is a sneak peak. ENJOY!
(for me, for you)

Posted by Mark L on 13/3/2012, 10:15 pm, in reply to "Catheter as an alternative"
Hi Andy,
not a daft idea atall. Having a catheter (or few) in your pocket is normally enough of a reassurance to enable you to go 'naturally'. Its a 100% garunteed means of going.
I have also done 2 workshops, and I got hold of some catheters after the 1st one as I was anxious about a flight to the US and my stag party. Didnt need it on the flight and had to use one whilst clubbing for my stag, with out one I wouldnt have had a very good time!
It took me a while to obtain however, as I had to see the GP, get referred to the urology department at the hospital, then get referred to a nurse to show me how to use them. Got given enough for free, then a year later I saw the GP again to get a prescription. Took a good few months I think. You can however purchase online (not sure where is best mind)
They fold up so you can take as many as you want in your pockets, are pretty quick to use. The 1st use is nerve racking and painfull, but then you get used to the disomfort. Used one last weekend at a car track day (only 2 porter loos). First time in over a year, and no problems atall!
Go for it, you'll probably never need to use them

What a filthy nigger President. A degenerate puppet of the Jews. The Orc in the White House as the Eye of Sauron Watches.
What are these people thinking? These kids are going to get mugged.
No. There are the facts of the case and those Travonites threw them right out the window in order to lynch a "white" man.
There is no "perspective." This is yet another case of black racism against whites.
Are the Jews. There is no other group that has done more to destroy our civil liberties.
A Jew!. Surprise surprise.
One dead nigger who attacked a person protecting his community from the crime the nigger was likely committing. Fuck this nigger-loving country. When the riots start, I hope they burn down all those Liberal ivory towers so they can feel the effects of their social policies.
When Obama tries to demonstrate that he cares about the well being of America I can only laugh. What sinister ulterior motive is there to this carbon reduction plan?
Why don't you turn off your computers at the NSA, Mr. Obama?
And just they other day they said he was completely lying. God damnit, this government a fucking joke. They lie through their teeth and backtrack when the lie does not gain traction.
Fuck Obama.
Fuck Feinstein.
Fuck Schumer.
And fuck and the other fucking Zionist traitors to the American people.
Just STFU. Go put on your empathy pregnancy gear so your gf will give you some pity sex, you bunch of limp-dicked white faggots. Every fucking time some event consisting of mostly guys decides to have guy fun, some leftist cuckholding twat has to complain about gender bias.
Americans don't care. Democracy requires intelligence. The increased breeding among low IQed Mexicans and African-Americans is lowering the intelligence of our country. Mexicans consider themselves lucky if spying is worst type of behavior their government performs. Our current electorate cannot handle the responsibilities that democracy entails.
It's unfortunate, but until white people separate themselves from the ethnic undertow and the Zionists in our government, our democratic system will only continue to erode.
What's even more unfortunate is that white people are still not intelligent enough to understand what I am saying. They'll simply label me a racist nut and continue their same failed policies of multiculturalism.
Resources are all controlled by the very wealthy. If the proles can't provide any labor in exchange for the wealthy, the wealthy simply wont manufacture any goods or services for them. Why would they waste their resources? The only real reason they might continue to provide goods and services at a loss is to prevent a more costly revolution.
But I am sure WW3 will address all of these problems before they occur.
I always supported the fact that Amazon was tax-free in California even as a Californian. At least the lack of taxes was saving me money that would have otherwise been spent on government assistance for illegal aliens. The ineffectiveness of the California government makes me think we would be better off shrinking the state tax base and relying on private businesses to provide more needed services. I would expect a private business to ensure our parks stay safe and clean. I would expect a private business to provide better security than our police force. The Internet has proven that large decentralized networks that people depend on don't need to be handled by the government.
The government should serve one purpose and one purpose only: to ensure the free market remains competitive, to manage our defense, and create business practices so that we can maintain a high standard of living and are not forced to compete against places like China that undercut us through sweatshop labor practices.
The less money the federal government has in it's pocket, the better we all are.
When half of the students (the Mexicans and Blacks) are barely literate as it is? I can still remember what the classrooms in SoCal were like. The minority influence complete degraded the ability for white students to learn at a pace that they were capable of.
I could see this happening in a country with only Asians and Whites. Thanks to diversity, your white children won't be allowed to read sci-fi until Darnell learns how to read.
Always leave room to add an explanation if it doesn't work out.

Some join the federal government after law school; others after a stint with a campaign, nonprofit or consulting firm. Audrey Chen came from "South Park."
As a senior designer at Comedy Central, Chen re-engineered the Web sites for cult hits such as "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." But a year ago, the Brooklynite was persuaded to join a team of Web developers, information architects, and digital strategists who want to revolutionize the very way that Washington works.
If Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are now the guiding lights for the young generation now "staring up at fading Obama posters" — as Paul Ryan said in his convention speech — then the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recruited straight from the source.
The CFPB was created in July 2010 to battle exploitative and deceptive financial practices as part of President Obama's Wall Street overhaul. And it's become a mecca for the young, creative do-gooders who still believe that new technology and the right open-source ethos can fulfill the president's promise of a changed Washington.

Portis Says He and Zorn Are 'Together'
TAMPA, Fla.--Washington Redskins tailback Clinton Portis said today he's in sync with Coach Jim Zorn and was happy to see Zorn retained for a second season.
But Portis said he hadn't spoken to Zorn since the season ended about his future role in the Redskins' offense, and he was noncommittal on the issue of whether he'll be on hand for the team's offseason workouts at Redskins Park.
"Of course we're together," Portis said of Zorn. "But after the season, I left. I haven't had a conversation with anybody. Football is over with, and I left last year behind. We can't go back and change. There's no need to harp over it and have conversations over where we went wrong or how it happened. Myself, I'm just content, getting myself ready, well-rested and being prepared for another year."
Portis and Zorn clashed during Zorn's rookie season as an NFL head coach when Portis, frustrated about a lack of use in a game, criticized Zorn during a radio interview.
During an appearance here today promoting the Pro Bowl, Portis spoke of sending text messages back and forth with Arizona Cardinals tailback Edgerrin James during the season, with each frustrated at certain times about a lack of carries.
"You know, that's up to them, man," Portis said of how the Redskins will utilize him in Zorn's second season. "My talking doesn't do any good. It's their decision to make. However they call on me or whenever they call on me, that's when I'll get the ball."
Portis said he was pleased to see the Redskins keep Zorn so the team wouldn't have to endure another coaching switch.
"You get tired of all that change, you know," Portis said after the NFL's promotional event. "I think having Coach Zorn around, I think he's going to have the opportunity to learn. You don't have to go through the massive change of learning a new playbook, coming in early, preparing to do this, preparing to do that, gotta learn this. I think you give the players in the system the opportunity to learn the system and hopefully execute it better."
The running back indicated he thinks the Redskins can be a Super Bowl contender next season even without making major offseason changes.
"I think that same team got us to a 6-2 point last season," he said. "So if they can get you to 6-2, and we didn't play any slouches... obviously the team we had was good enough to get to there. I think the thing that happened is, we just didn't find a way to finish. So if we can find a way to finish or we can find a way to carry over throughout the season, I think we'll be all right."
He declined to say whether he thinks the Redskins should spend in free agency to bring in significant additions to the roster.
"Every year I've been there, we've went through a revamping situation," Portis said. "We revamp. We had new coordinators, new coaches, new this, new that. That's a decision they've got to make, man. For myself, the only thing I can worry about is being able stay on top of my game, being able to come back and being better next year than I was this year, and whatever I can do to help the team. Faces are always going to change in the NFL. So you've got to get used to them, get used to having a new face and hope they fill in and help you."
Asked about being at Redskins Park for offseason workouts and practices, Portis said he would "just play it by ear" and "take my time and make my decision that I think is best for me to help" prepare for next season.
Former Redskins running back John Riggins said at another Super Bowl-related promotional event later today that he thinks Portis's close relationship with the team's management has made for a difficult situation.
"He's already a headache," Riggins said at a media briefing by Sirius satellite radio. "You mean is he going to get worse? I don't know. I said that at the end of the season and I believe that unless he changes the way he views himself and views his contributions to the team, then I think that that could be problematic for the Redskins. It's a bad situation, created probably by the people who run the team, that he's been allowed to take the course that he has.
"I don't think there's any turning back now because obviously to a certain extent Clinton Portis has the team over a barrel from my understanding of the amount of money that he's owed, guaranteed money that becomes really cost-prohibitive to get rid of him over a [salary] cap issue. There's not that many teams that would be interested in Clinton Portis, I don't think, and so they have a bad situation on their hands. [That's] my personal take on it."
Riggins said he believes the Redskins do need a significant offseason retooling.
"I think that, number one, the offense is extremely suspect," the Hall of Famer said. "You saw when they played against the better defenses--not only when they played against the better defenses, it didn't make any difference who they played--they couldn't put any points on the board. They were able to run the ball earlier in the year. I thought the line did a tremendous job of blocking earlier in the year. Portis did a decent job of finding the holes. And then all of a sudden, that went away.
"They could never really throw the ball effectively. I don't think they really have any what you'd call big-play people. Maybe Santana Moss. But like I say, he's a number two [receiver] and he's your number one. If you're talking about a championship team, he's a number two. So they've got problems there. And I think some of the guys are going backwards a little bit. The offensive line obviously needs some help. So they've got a lot of work to do there. They don't really have anybody who can rush the passer consistently over on defense. They're not in the catbird's seat in the NFC East."

Portis' contention that the Redskins can be a Super Bowl contender next year is laughable. The ownership, coaches and players say the same thing every year, and every year they produce garbage. At least these overpaid underachievers won't be able to use the excuse of "learning a new system" next year. This team has talent, but the players are too nonchalant to contend. As far as Riggins vs Portis; Riggins came up big in important games, Portis never has.
Posted by: scg1055 | January 30, 2009 3:09 PM
When the team is winning, Portis has his mouth shut, because he is happiest when the Skins are winning. I feel that is his biggest desire is to win. However, when they lose, he opens his yapper and starts making a fool of himself.
The key for Portis is the line play. always has been. even in Denver and it's that way for any running back. if he is getting poor blocking, his play will suffer. and when his production dips, Portis gets moody and says dumb things. he actually says dumb things alot like when he said the Redskins were more talented than the Patriots, who went on to beat the ________ out of us. Bottom line: Block for Portis=happy productive RB. UPGRADE THE O-LINE!! SPEND SOME MONEY!!
As far as Moss goes, people need to wise up. He is way to easy to take out of a game the way things are. He is a solid wideout IF YOU CAN TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM HIM!! Better production is paramount for the offense to succeed and the team simply does not have it. some star power would be welcome oppositte Moss Devin Thomas may be good one day, but a solid 3rd WR is all I see him progressing to at this point.
Cooley would benefit from a stud on the other side of Moss as well. esp. in the Red area...but we have known this for 2 yrs now. Cooley is great between the 20's but after that...
D-Line is weak, have needed a pass rusher since the 90's and upgrades at tackle. period.
A better Free saftey so Landry can play near the box more often.
without these upgrades, we will be trampled on in the beast...

Wow. You should consider getting a job in Snyder's growing media empire! You have equal portions of naivete and blind acceptance. He loves that in fans. We only get to read about Portis what El Snyder allows, and approves, in the local media. If Snyder doesn't like whats being written, the reporter loses access. Ask Sally Jenkins. It's always "big heart and roses" when it comes to the reporting on Portis. Look around the league at the running back talent and tell me, WITHOUT the blinders on, that Portis belongs in the top ten. The "I'm hurt every week, but can manage to play" crap got old around week 9 don'cha think? He's a manufactured superstar, an able player I'll grant you, but NOT a gamechanger. His hype is the result of the Skins having no one else who fits the bill as 'star' at the moment. Other than delighting fantasy football owners, he's never carried the team on his back like some of the greats, like Riggo could at times... Heck, he couldn't carry Larry Brown's jockstrap in my opinion. He tends to be very meek in the important games. He may be on the team, but I don't drink kool-aid, and am not a Portis fan...
Posted by: crowemagnon | January 29, 2009 11:28 PM
Cancer? eh, I have a hard time tagging that term to him. When I think cancers to a team, I think of your T.O.s, Pac Mans, and people who cause trouble with the teamates and complain about there $$ contracts. CP complains about not playing as much as he wants to, not a bad quality just needs to be handled differently. Aside from the Zorn issue, again which was short lived and I believe was blown out of proportion by the media, he hasnt caused many other problems and tends to get along with everyone. Plays good enough to loose? I dont agree with that, he ranks as a top running back.
I think he is a little self centered, but not a cancer, thats a little far fetched. However 2009 season could show a different person.
Posted by: erleach | January 29, 2009 7:05 PM
Riggins is right. Portis is a minor cancer. He plays good enough for the team to lose, crys about carries and chums it up with Danny, which creates a toxic situation for ANY coach. It's a shame you can't fire Snyder. Marketing genius yes, upper echelon owner NO.
Posted by: crowemagnon | January 29, 2009 6:31 PM
I think Both Riggo and Portis should go! Oh wait, Riggo is gone. Then, Portis needs to go. He is a big mouth; disrespectful, overpaid, pain in the rear! They should sign JC and trade for line and receivers...Moss is not a number one, but a very good number 2.
The real problem is Vinny and Dan, but that is another topic that shoud be discussed!
Posted by: wspasp | January 29, 2009 6:12 PM
Portis is on pace to put up Hall of Fame numbers, so I have no problems with Portis. We won games because of Portis early in the season when the O-line was fresh. Once the O-line started to show it's age and wear, that's when Portis declined. To me, that means the problem is the O-line.
Second, I'm tired of people saying Moss is not a #1 receiver. Moss is a #1 receiver without a #2 receiver, which makes it VERY difficult to make big plays. Who is the Skins #2, Randle El?(no threat) Devin Thomas?(so far, no threat) How about James Thrash?(really?)
Give Moss a serious 2nd WR and you will see his numbers skyrocket.
Posted by: RobInVaBeach | January 29, 2009 2:09 PM
Riggins says it like he see's it. So what, even if Riggins is slightly jealous (which I dont think he is), it doesnt excuse the fact that a MAJOR problem with the organization Portis is buddy-buddy with Danny and Vinny. They gave him this huge contract extention (well deserved in my opinion) but Danny and Vinny love to go down on the field and chum it up with the superstars- Portis being the biggest of them.
This COMPLETELY underminds the structure of the team and organization. How can Zorn coach Portis and the team when Clinton is in the ear of Synder complaining about playing time and "this and that" and his likes and dislikes of whats going on? The buddy-buddy relationship of Snyder and his personnel is a plague on the team. Aside from financial matters, Portis should not be in communication with Snyder.
Portis runs his mouth a little too much, and for what? He didnt get a few carries? Sorry, that cant be allowed to happen. The only reason he does this is because he knows he is the apple of Snyder's eye and that he can get away with it. End of story...
Posted by: mharman1 | January 29, 2009 1:44 PM
Riggo is just hatin' on CP. His records are in jeopardy. He's just an aging ex-player hoping to still keep some records under his name and stressing on the fact that CP will break his records. Riggo needs to be a gracious ex-player and just accept the fact that records are meant to be broken. Being a hall of famer is no easy feat, so he should be satisfied with that accomplishment. Stop hatin' Riggo!
Posted by: Jotas | January 29, 2009 12:28 PM
Riggins is wrong on multiple issues. First, there are a lot of teams out there that would take Clinton Portis. Yes, his outburst with Zorn was a problem, however, he doesn't get in trouble off the field and he works his tail off when he plays. He blocks better than most RB's and he plays hurt more than most people. Secondly, Moss is a #1 WR. If he was put on half the other teams in the league, he'd be there number one (maybe more than half).
Rigins was right about the OL though. We need to get some younger, fresh legs up there. Our line tired as the season progressed, and we aren't getting any younger up there.
Posted by: soccerbj1171 | January 29, 2009 11:45 AM
Riggins is right on. Portis is a cancer on this team. Watch his output vs. his pay over the next two years. When the output and number of games played declines, Danny will hire his close buddy, Portis to coach the Skins! Jim Zorn has no chance to make it with the Skins due to Danny and Portis no matter how well he coaches or how good a record he has. It's a no-win situation and all the other decent coaches know it and they will never come here due to this owner and his ego and lack of football acumen.
Posted by: j777im | January 29, 2009 9:01 AM
Riggins act is getting real old. Riggins was a distraction when he was playing hung over in Dallas among other things.
May have found what is really bothering Riggo.
John Riggins all time leading Redskins rusher 7,47 yds in 9 season for Washington
Portis 6,103 in just 5 yrs in burgandy and gold.
No wonder Riggins wants Portis gone. 1369yds the clcok is ticking on Riggo
and for their career
Riggins 11,352yds/14season 3.9/att
Portis 9,202/7seasons 4.5/att
I love Riggo got your picture hanging on my wall right above me now. But you couldnt hold Clinton's jock.
Posted by: 3card | January 28, 2009 11:58 PM
Portis definetitly needs to come back for offseason workouts. I believe every player on the team needs to look at their performance from the season and possibly do the same. last year was the 1st time CP took the offseason seriously and as a result was his best year in the NFL. I say they all should work out not just for the training aspect, but for team bonding. working together year round.
Now I wouldnt go so far as Portis and Zorn clashed, but more that Portis clashed with Zorn. Zorn didnt do anything to ignite the situation further, in fact Zorn seemed to difuse the situation pretty quick.
With Riggo, I agree with him to a certain extent. CPs mentality does need some adjustments in some places, but what he does show is that he is a competitor. He is focused. The only thing I see happening is he does carry the "me" thing. How he hasent talked to anyone from the team since the end of the season? why not? his comment above "Myself, I'm just content, getting myself ready, well-rested and being prepared for another year." Thats my concern. look at LT with San Diego right now. I dont see Portis having the same dedication to the team.

Corn Products International, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1997 and its common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Corn Products International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, manufactures and sells a number of ingredients to a wide variety of food and industrial customers.
We are one of the world's largest corn refiners and a major supplier of high-quality food ingredients and industrial products derived from wet milling and processing of corn and other starch-based materials.
Our consolidated net sales were $3.67 billion in 2009. Approximately 62 percent of our 2009 net sales were provided from our North American operations, while our South American and Asia/African operations contributed approximately 27 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
Our products are derived primarily from the processing of corn and other starch-based materials, such as tapioca. Corn refining is a capital-intensive, two-step process that involves the wet milling and processing of corn. During the front-end process, corn is steeped in a water-based solution and separated into starch and co-products such as animal feed and corn oil. The starch is then either dried for sale or further processed to make sweeteners and other ingredients that serve the particular needs of various industries.
Our sweetener products include high fructose corn syrup ("HFCS"), glucose corn syrups, high maltose corn syrups, caramel color, dextrose, polyols, maltodextrins and glucose and corn syrup solids. Our starch-based products include both industrial and food-grade starches.
Corn Products supplies a broad range of customers in many diverse industries around the world, including the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, paper products, corrugated, laminated paper, textile and brewing industries, as well as the global animal feed and corn oil markets.
We believe our approach to production and service, which focuses on local management and production improvements of our worldwide operations, provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers.
Sweetener Products. Our sweetener products represented approximately 56 percent, 53 percent and 57 percent of our net sales for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
High Fructose Corn Syrup: We primarily produce two types of high fructose corn syrup: (i) HFCS-55, which is mainly used as a sweetener in soft drinks; and (ii) HFCS-42, which is used as a sweetener in various consumer products such as fruit-flavored beverages, yeast-raised breads, rolls, dough, ready-to-eat cakes, yogurt and ice cream.
Glucose Corn Syrups: Corn syrups are fundamental ingredients widely used in food products such as baked goods, snack foods, beverages, canned fruits, condiments, candy and other sweets, dairy products, ice cream, jams and jellies, prepared mixes and table syrups. In many markets, we offer corn syrups that are manufactured through an ion exchange process, a method that creates the highest quality, purest corn syrups.
High Maltose Corn Syrup: This special type of glucose syrup has a unique carbohydrate profile, making it ideal for use as a source of fermentable sugars in brewing beers. High maltose corn syrups are also used in the production of confections, canning and some other food processing applications.
Dextrose: We were granted the first US patent for dextrose in 1923. We currently produce dextrose products that are grouped in three different categories - monohydrate, anhydrous and specialty. Monohydrate dextrose is used across the food industry in many of the same products as glucose corn syrups, especially in confectionery applications. Anhydrous dextrose is used to make solutions for intravenous injection and other pharmaceutical applications, as well as some specialty food applications. Specialty dextrose products are used in a wide range of applications, from confectionery tableting to dry mixes to carriers for high intensity sweeteners. Dextrose also has a wide range of industrial applications, including use in wall board and production of biodegradable surfactants (surface agents), humectants (moisture agents), and as the base for fermentation products including vitamins, organic acids, amino acids and alcohol.
Polyols: These products are sugar-free, reduced calorie sweeteners primarily derived from starch. They include crystalline sorbitol, crystalline maltitol, mannitol, specialty liquid polyols and liquid sorbitol for the food, beverage, confectionary, industrial, personal and oral care, and nutritional supplement markets.
Maltodextrins and Glucose and Corn Syrup Solids: These products have a multitude of food applications, including formulations where liquid corn syrups cannot be used. Maltodextrins are resistant to browning, provide excellent solubility, have a low hydroscopicity (do not retain moisture), and are ideal for their carrier/bulking properties. Corn syrup solids have a bland flavor, remain clear in solution, and are easy to handle and also provide bulking properties.
Starch Products. Our starch products represented approximately 23 percent, 22 percent and 22 percent of our net sales for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Starches are an important component in a wide range of processed foods, where they are used particularly as a thickener and binder. Cornstarch is also sold to cornstarch packers for sale to consumers. Starches are also used in paper production to produce a smooth surface for printed communications and to improve strength in recycled papers. In the corrugating industry, starches are used to produce high quality adhesives for the production of shipping containers, display board and other corrugated applications. The textile industry has successfully used starches for over a century to provide size and finishes for manufactured products. Industrial starches are used in the production of construction materials, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, as well as in mining, water filtration and oil and gas drilling.
Co-Products and others. Co-products and others accounted for 21 percent, 25 percent and 21 percent of our net sales for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Refined corn oil (from germ) is sold to packers of cooking oil and to producers of margarine, salad dressings, shortening, mayonnaise and other foods. Corn gluten feed is sold as animal feed. Corn gluten meal is sold as high protein feed for chickens, pet food and aquaculture primarily, and steepwater is sold as an additive for animal feed.

When to use complex types and when to use elements in creating wsdl files?

Thank you for reading my post.
When we create XSD files, we can create elements and also we can create complextypes.
for example we can create an student type as an element or as a complex type and then I can use it to create WSDL documents (methods input and outputs).
What I can not undestand is the differences between using Elements and ComplexType in creating custom types like student and also I can not undestand what is differences between using a complexType or element to build a wsdl file.

It depends on the mode of messaging that you use.
For RPC/literal you use complex types in the WSDL message-part because the SOAP body content isn't a top level element out of the WSDL types (XML Schema) section but is simply an element named according to the operation specified in the WSDL portType section. For the document/literal mode of messaging the SOAP body content has to be a valid top level element (i.e. document) as defined in the WSDL types (XML Schema) section - so you must use a top-level element as the one and only part in the WSDL message definition (the operation name of the WSDL portType doesn't appear anywhere in the SOAP body or message).
Which style of WSDL should I use?

An open letter to my threader
Dear lady who does my threading,
I know that when you've finished doing my eyebrows,
it's only good business to ask if I'd like my upper lip done for $1 more,
but when I refuse,
it's probably not necessary to answer with,
"Are you sure??"
The one who always tips you big.

Nothing like being called out by a flawless 20 year old to make me want to revoke my previous post about how awesome it is to be 42.
I have an even better story: my sister and I went to get leg waxes last year in preparation for a week long beach holiday in Cuba, and one of the ladies kept holding up the strips and saying in an awed voice, "Soooo much hairy!! Ohhhhh, so much hairy!!".
She didn't get a tip.HA! Can I just say that you're braver than I am for braving both threading and waxing?? I'm a total weenie and am completely afraid of the pain factor.

There is no need to take anything too seriously when you are out. Keep looking around the room. Make fun of things that you spot around you. As soon as she joins you in this you are in a team mentality, looking at the world from a shared perspective.
Category Archives: Girls love childlike playtime
Skip the interview questions until:have built up, generated some good attraction first.
It works best to generate attraction till you see an even keel of mutual attraction is going on. Stay away from the 'What do you do?', 'Where are you from?' even the 'What is your name?' type of interview questions until a healthy dose of attraction is built up.
Don't start until you see her showing ways that she is interested in you first. Keep everything a playful vibe; these are all practice people until you see something more. Once you see her signals that she is interested, and then it is okay to be showing her that your interest is of the same level. Regardless of what you feel inside, you should be showing her and equal amount of interest to reward her signals, but nothing more yet.
If she feels like she has won your heart before you guys had a chance to get to know each other, she will think: 'Game Over' and move on to the next guy.
As soon as I see her touching me, laughing at my jokes (even the stupid ones) and she is staying around for like 20 minutes or so, then I know there is a sweet spot going on. It's not till then I start asking her some screening questions: "So what do you do for fun?"
Every time she tells me things about herself that I like, that I am attracted to, I compliment her on those points. This shows her which topics and behaviors get the most reward. She will be increasing these which will ensure a better time for us both.
At this point of learning more about her, I will say: "When I first met you, I wasn't so sure about you…but now that I get to know you you are pretty interesting. This is usually the point when I begin to increase my playful touching to further reward the amount I like her.
This may start with tapping and poking to high-fives, pushing, butt-bumping and thumb wrestling. After the playful stuff, I may move on to hugging, holding hands like I am mocking a couple, cheek kissing, and picking her up jokingly.[/private]
When a girls asks "What do you do?"
There is no reason to show off. The most successful people with the greatest achievements talk about them like they are very insignificant.
I have heard different guys' response to a girl's questions of "What do you do?" go into a very dramatic long, detailed answer where he thinks he is being subtle about how cool he is, or how prestigious his job is, or how smart he is to have gotten there or how wealthy he is because he did.
This looks very insecure and women are masters at seeing through this type of thing.
Usually with a qualifying type question like that, I am [private]flattered that she is interested enough at this point to want to know more but I still give her a teasing/joking (Obviously BS) answer and spin it back to her, have her qualifying herself to me. "Ya, I have finished school for it and now I am working by scraping the gum off the bottom of seats at movie theaters. Very demanding nowadays…What do you do?"
Or I may tell her "I jump out of cakes at birthday parties." Or "I am a disposable lighter repairman. 4 years of schooling finally paid off. "
Usually the girl laughs or chuckles to my joke, then goes on to tell me seriously about her career paths. Now this has the momentum generated of her qualifying herself to me, working to win my approval.
When I do get to what I do for work, rather than tell her what it is, I explain to her all the reasons I love what I do. I'll talk about how I got into it, and how it fulfills me very much. "When I was a kid my dad told me to think of something that I would do all day/every day for nothing. Once I could earn a living doing that, I am successful. At this point, I am as close to that as I can imagine, and the direction I am in, what I have planned gets even better."
Even as she asks me for details I stay very vague at this point. I spend the time talking about the fulfillment it gives me to help people to their successes, or examples of why I love what I do.
Once attraction is detected…
I tell her: "You know what? I'm gonna make you my girlfriend for the next 5 Minutes, I hope you won't stalk me when we break up. "
Then I start the plot line for our little shared imagination movie: "Since we only have 5 minutes, we need to [private]make this really good, ok? Good. So girlfriend, how's your mom? Tell her I said thanks for the birthday gift, but it really didn't fit. No, don't tell her that part, I loved it!" as I am laughing with her since it so silly.
To re-engage the scenario, I pick it back up in a few minutes: "Hey girlfriend, I have something to tell you: I've been cheating on you…with your best friend."
She was mockingly defensive: "Oh no! How could you?" and playing along.
"I'm really sorry girlfriend (I continue to call her: "girlfriend" too, not her name. It was fun to stay in character, even if sometimes I used a gay voice to say it. )
"I couldn't help myself." I continued "I'm just really sexual… you know that!" as we played charade kiss & make up scenes, to keep the goofiness going. [/private]
"Las Vegas is the Disney World for Boys who become Men with a better taste of the REAL Pleasures in Life."
Event Details
Las Vegas is the world's adult Disney World. So image being there with a Dating coach guiding you along…scratch that, Image being there with 3-4 coaches!
There is a mansion in Vegas that is creating a buzz in this Seduction "Community". Yes I said Mansion, 5 bedrooms and baths, fireplaces…yes more than one, POOL! and more!
"Hey hunny, great talking to you, you should come to the after party, AT OUR HOUSE, with a POOL, and Jacuzzi!!" ~C.J. "The Siege" to girls at team pull with JerseyBoy in LA.
Read that quote over again.
Now remeber it. Once you are rolling along in conversation with some new girls, drop that into conversation to see some girl's eyes light up!
The from there all you have to do is work out logistics to move you all back to the Place wwhen sexy fun is abbout to ahppen.
You see, Siege is there with a single fun outcome in mind that will prioritize the others throughout what is going on. Sure He'll be enjoying the rest ov=f Vegas, with a particular radar on.
And ALSO rememer, what he is looking to have he gets so once one girl in the group is making out, that feeling transfers to the girl you are talking to with him as your wing.
Then she want's to making out, this increasing your ability to escalate with her ENPORMOUSLY!!
Then once back to the pad, the girl you are talking to hears/sees sexy time going on with C.J. and his girl. She too want to be having sexy-time since the mere thought of hearing her friend enjoying the pleasures she wants, willl raise her buying temperature like you'd never believe…that is unless you have singed up foro the Vegas Event
This is not your everyday meet-up or weekend boot camp, you and the coaches DO NOT part ways for hours after the outing to your respective hotel rooms. You get a text from a girl after the night is done, there is a coach right there ready to help!
This is a project house weekend in the city that parties 24/7! on Halloween weekend no less!
This isn't just locals, this is everyone from every where, flying/driving in to party and be naughty!
Guys this is a chance to get out and broaden your horizons! Travel and bring home stories to your friends and even women in your home town. SO when she asks have you traveled your response can be something other than "Yes with my mom and dad, to Disney world, when i was FIVE!
The problem in this are of self-improvement is that there is too many who want to read material for days or months on end and never strp out of their home or their OR their comfort zone then go out with others who do that same thing, and it ends up being "The Blind leading the Blind"
Lets put a stop to that and hit Vegas with coaches and make some memories to last a life time!

There is some people on this forum heading to Vegas, so I thought I'd put in my recommendations and what I've learned:1. Girls at tables won't talk to you that much.
Well, if it's tables like Craps or Roulette, they got time to talk after their turn, or during their turn, but when it comes down to card games, they would prefer not to talk, but think up ways on how to win. You can make quick and witty comments to grab her attention then pull her to a different table, but conversation wise, no- they will not talk to you.
2. Girls are easier at the slot machines.
Slot machines are designed so you can take your time with them. There is no pressure or rush to do anything. So they can stop whatever they are doing and talk to you, or play and talk at the same time.
3. Pull them from different parts of the casino.
The casinos have a lot of things to look at, and places to be. Such as bars, clubs, slot machines, tables, or even watching a game together. Pull them to different areas to create small intimate moments that you can expand on later.
4. Pull them to different casinos.
It's like making small intimate moments inside the casino, you are now making a larger memory to help raise the attraction and comfort. Also, there is open liquor laws in Vegas. Share a drink outside by bridge that connects the Excaliber to the NYC Hotel, or watch the pirate show at the Treasure Island hotel for free.
5. Shopping Malls inside the casino and the Vegas Strip are awesome places to meet women too.
It's like Day GSF, except you can pull them into the bedroom without leaving your hotel/casino (well, depending on where you are. I recommend Ceasars Palace. A lot of high class and beautiful girls there.)
6. Wednesday night (or was it Thursday?) at the Planet Hollywood Hotel/casino
Strippers on poles and half naked women everywhere. What's not to enjoy?
7. Vegas has the best strip clubs in America
8. The Vegas Effect
Remember, no one REALLY lives in Vegas…and tourists are always more prone for one night stands as opposed to local natives. Why? Because it's exciting, daring, and fun.
9. Don't forget the 4 questions to SNL
This actually works a lot better there, I found.
10. Eat your vegetables…
Nothing is more sexy than a man who loves his vegetables.
11. If you're looking for drugs, late night, on the bridge the connects the NYC Hotel and the Excaliber. Dealers usually hang out there.
Overall, guys, have fun. If you're looking for any other fun places to check out while you're there, I visited about all the casino's, so I know where to go.

Girls seeing this strength of character
Girls seeing this strength of character is what hold desirability for a guy. Seeing him change his ways, because of her whims or because of something that hasn't even been indicated as something she doesn't like
With most girls, especially that early in a relationship, then knowing they are with is very desired by other women reminds them they have a catch.
They continue to be putting their best foot forward. They continue to keep their actions to be 'chasing' so to speak and doing what pleases the man the best they can. Which by the way is part of feminine inherent nature, they like to please the ones they care about.
Maintaining her chasing through texting
(www.getherchasingyou.com) Maintaining her chasing through texting
For a good example of how well girls respond to playful anything and how the like a masculine dominance express so they feel better about their feminine humility/submissiveness to come forth, there was a recent message banter I thought I could share.
She has actively contacted me every so often. We have hung out but a few times more recently she had to cancel tentative plans because of complications in her life. So a few days ago I get this message:
HBNurse: Hey sweetie whats up with ya ya ya? Do u miss me or do u hate me now? Xo
(I am guessing she is referring to her last need to cancel our tentative plans.)
Me: You are in a neutral limbo status with potential available to you that could put you on the good side in a moment's notice…that is if you take the right steps.
(Subtextually, I am letting her know that I haven't totally written her off, but if she wants ot be in good favor with me, there are steps she will need to take. This is another level of that sweet spot to indicate to girls. They do not have total..[/private] …approval yet they are not rejected/dismissed. There is a clear enough indication that her actions in the right way can lead to the rewards she wants. Not too easily obtained, but the potential is within her reach.)
HBNurse: K. I would like right steps obi wan. School ur young jedi…..
(This is great. She is the one to turn it into a game, so to speak. She is following my lead to what I indicated, but giving us the fictional roles of characters in Star Wars. I hear which way she is following my lead and I go with that as well, rewarding her choices that are in the direction I want along the way. Like in child psychology, reward the good behavior you want more of & ignore the negative behaviors to make them go away. Girls work the same way. Good result or bad result they are driven to do those things that get the most attention. )
Me: Ok, Miss Young Skywalker…first step is for you to alert me when you are in my area and have a block of time to do what you want with.
(Here, I am rewarding her following my lead and I will play along with the roles she found. The roles actually will let me be more direct as the game goes along since it is joking, with the real meaning heard underneath. She hits me up every so often with texting banter, but here I am telling her to let me know when she wants to get together & is ready to take more of my direction. I already won't make plans with her unless I am absolutely certain she will follow through, so when she does what I asked, this is the first step in her making a commitment she will follow through with. )
HBNurse: Yes master…. Then?
(I know she wants to text banter on a sexual level at this point. I will do nothing but vague hints to let her imagination do most of the work. Just like there are ways to build tension and create open loops in texts, tension can be released for her in texts. I see her curiosity and decide to keep it at that at this point. With this game on the table now, later I can simply recall that curiosity in her at a later point with it.)
Me: You will be given the next directions when you have successfully completed the first step…and second step isn't guaranteed unless it is clear you are ready for more…who knows, you may get second step first time you complete the first one or maybe you won't get it until the tenth time you have completed the first step…it all depends on the moment & your readyness for more in that moment.
(Here I am telling her that her curiosity will not be satisfied until she completes the first direction I gave her. I won't even tell her the next steps. Some girls can get release of that tension through sexy talk through even texts. Every girl is different but I like to continuously be building tension, holding off from that release until it can be done physically.)
HBNurse: Yes master… I understand! What will u have me do…
(She heard what I said, but is trying again to get me to give her some sexier talk within the texts. I will vaguely hint at more when I see that my building of more tension will have her wanting that release AND is able/ready to meetup for that release to happen physically. Not only do I repeat what she needs to do to get what she wants… )
Me: Good girl, but listen: <
(…I get a little more specific so she knows what factors will increase the likelihood of her getting what she wants.)
HBNurse: Yes master soon ill b ready to complete my training….
(Here she is telling me she heard what I said & is clear. Previously I told her to withhold contacting me until she had a block of time with no constraint but it still is no guarantee.)
Me: Ok, Leave me be until you feel you are ready.
(I know I can call back the theme of this banter at any time later to remind her or re-spark her curiosity…but for now, I will take away this banter until she tells me she has time, or I pick it up to re-spark those things.)
What girls want least is those things they can have too easily. They want those things more that are hard to get. What they want most are those things that are just a hairsbreadth out of their reach, what they can almost have if they figure out the best steps to take. Giving them indication of what those steps might be is a good feeler to see their readiness. As soon as they start to try (getting the chasing going) they will get small rewards with indications of how they can modify their steps to get bigger rewards.
I stay vague about the exact reward possible, just vague hints but am clearer about the steps they need to take…[/private] …to even find out what those rewards might be. I let their imagination do most of the work. It comes up with things closer to what they want, and their never quite sure if they are right anyways.
That uncertainty creates desire in them just to find out what those rewards might be and to know a clearer picture of what they need to do to get them…. is a larger factor in creating desire than anything explicit described anyways.
"You know what? I'm gonna make you my girlfriend for the next 5 minutes"
Once physical dominance is established,
I'll escalate. I may slap her on the ass and tell her to get away if she's being bratty (of course, with a big smile on my face and NOT emotionally reactive.)
In the grocery store, I see a girl with a full cart:
"Are you eating all of of that tonight?" I ask. She starts laughing so the conversation [private] goes from there.
Once the conversation went along but a bit boring, I simply brought back the grocery store jokes: "Can you give me a ride in your cart?" She tells me she can if I can get myself to be in there. I am glad to see her playing along with my jokes so I ask her: "How much for you to push me around in our cart and push me around while I grab the stuff that I need?"
She just tells me she doesn't know so I suggest a trade of services. "Maybe if you you promise a good ride later, then I can available for dinner at 6.75 per hour which includes provocative conversation at no extra charge."[/private]

My husband had the chicken scallopini special and I had the spaghetti with clams. Both were very tasty and reasonably priced. Finished our meals with a double espresso. We would definitely go back.

Woodside Petroleum denies it is looking to sell a major part of its stake in the proposed Browse basin liquified natural gas (LNG) project.
Woodside on Friday said it had received significant interest from a number of parties about taking a stake in the $US30 billion ($A28.32 billion) development in Western Australia's Kimberley region.
As a result, the company was conducting a limited process to assess the potential sale of a minority of its 50 per cent stake in the development, Woodside said.
But, it said, it had not made any decision to reduce its stake in the Browse development at this time.
Media reports on Friday suggested Woodside had begun an auction process for the majority of its 50 per cent Browse stake.
Other stakeholders in the Browse project are BHP Billiton, BP, Chevron and Shell.
Woodside in December said a final decision to proceed with Browse would likely be delayed by up to a year.
That prompted it to deny claims it was having doubts about building a gas processing plant for the project.
The project has divided the community around Broome, with a court ruling last year that the compulsory acquisition by the WA government of land from native title claimants for the hub was invalid, but the government sees that as a technicality.
Woodside shares had gained 43 cents, or 1.27 per cent, to $34.40 at 1245 AEDT.

Accessing files from a file server with a cross-platform app
Page |
1 |
This is not directly Qt related, but I'm hoping there might be a clever solution:
In my cross-platform app I need to open a well known (meaning the user doesn't select it) file located on a file server (using QFile).
The file server is running under Windows 2003 server.
Under windows, I can use UNC notation (\\FILESRV\myShare\myFile).
Under Linux and Mac, I need to mount the share from what I understand (using smb) , but that would mean the path will be different on each platform.
Has anyone had to deal with something like this?
19 replies
You can store filePath in one string and for *nix remove filename from it and run QProcess with smbclient
Something like this (not tested, maybe not even compiling)
- int lastDelimiterIndex = path.lastIndexOf("\\");
So you will have in shareName name of share (first arg for smbclient) and in fileName you will have file name (part of second arg for smbclient)
Well the problem is that Qt is very limited (to my knowledge) in this respect.
Whereas in Obj-C there are truly great functions where one can easily load the contents of a url (which can be anything) in a string (through functions like initWithContentsOfURL) or file (with fileHandleForReadingFromURL), I'm surprised there are no such functions in the generally rich classes of QString and QFile.
The best I've managed to do when I have to do something similar, is use a helper function like
- {
- QNetworkAccessManager manager;
- QEventLoop loop;
- loop.exec();
- QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Download file"), tr("Unable to save the file %1: %2.").arg(fname).arg(tf->errorString()));
- delete tf;
- };
- tf->write(reply->readAll());
- delete reply;
- tf->flush();
- tf->close();
- delete tf;
- return fi.canonicalFilePath();
- }
to generate a temporary copy of a file locally, and then use the filename this function returns as an argument to QFile.
I'm pretty sure my implementation is terrible and that's why I would like to avoid this approach, but I haven't been able to come up with something better.
What do you need to do with the file(s) after you get access to them? Why are you saving it locally in the above example? It would be more efficient just to read from the QNetworkReply into whatever data structure is appropriate.
Also, please be aware that using local event loops like this are (in general) a bad idea. Other events are still processed which could result in your instance of MyHelperClass being deleted, then when your local event loop exits you are into the realms of undefined behaviour.
I need an actual filepath in this case, because it is passed to a 3rd party library (which uses QFile open as far as I know).
I'm pretty sure my function does not work without the loop.exec() call, and that's why I added it.
That is why I mentioned I'm surprised that there is no helper function to perform such a common ( I would think) task.
Your function does not work without the local event loop as you are trying to use QNAM in a synchronous manner when it is designed for asynchronous use. The easiest way is to connect a slot up to the finished() signal of QNetworkReply. Something like this:
- {
- QNetworkRequest request;
- request.setUrl( url );
- connect( reply, SIGNAL( finished() ),
- SLOT( processReply() ) );
- }
where m_nam is a pointer to your application's QNetworkAccessManager. Then in the two referenced slots you either handle the reply as you do in your example function or you handle the error.
There are also other signals that you can connect to. These allow you to show download progrerss for example or to check the http metadata (e.g. response code).
