Vibur DBCP is a new, concurrent JDBC connection pool based on Java dynamic proxies. It is fast, has concise source code, and supports a fairness parameter, statement caching, SQL query logging, and many other features. Various configuration examples (with Spring, Hibernate, etc.) are provided.
The ABOUT tool and ABOUT files provide a simple way to document the provenance (origin and license) and other important or interesting information about third-party software components that you use in your project. The tool is a command line based utility. The ABOUT tool helps automate OSS compliance that is needed throughout the software lifecycle.
JMapper-Framework allows you to pass data from one Java Bean to another dynamically with annotations and/or XML. You can create and enrich target objects, apply specific logic to the mapping, automatically manage the XML file, implement the 1-to-N and N-to-1 relationships, implement explicit conversions, apply inherited configurations, and more.
Template Data Interface (TDI, /ʹtedɪ/) is a markup templating system written in Python with (optional but recommended) speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems, TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead, you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed, and the marked nodes are presented to your Python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.
ogEditor is a Web-based WYSIWYG HTML editor with a built-in file manager. It features a Tag Selector which lets you view and edit a tag's attributes and internal styles while working in the Design view of an HTML page. Tag Selector displays the entire chain of tags which apply to the current selection or to the cursor position. When any of the tags is selected, its corresponding element will be highlighted in the Design view, and the selected element's attributes and internal styles are also displayed and can be edited in the Property editor window.
Evo Class Index is an annotation processor that at compile-time generates an index of classes implementing a given interface, classes annotated by given annotation, or placed in a common package. Its small run-time performance impact makes it an interesting alternative to any annotation scanning library like Reflections or Scannotations. The generated indexes are compatible with the ServiceLoader framework, so you will never need to create the files in META-INF/services by hand.
CI-Eye is a powerful continuous integration build radiator requiring no installation and almost no set-up. CI-Eye talks to many different CI servers through their REST APIs (so no plug-ins are required). Currently, support is offered for Hudson, Jenkins, and TeamCity. CI-Eye runs as a standalone Web application.
MinimalModbus is an easy-to-use Python module for talking to instruments (slaves) from a computer (master) using the Modbus protocol. Example code includes drivers for Eurotherm and Omega process controllers. The only dependency is the pySerial module. This software supports the 'Modbus RTU' serial communication version of the protocol, and is intended for use on Linux, OS X, and Windows platforms. It has been tested with Python2.6, Python2.7, and Python3.2.

"This year, my family is having a Christmas ornament exchange. We are to buy an ornament that represents ourselves. I love to snorkel and knew finding a snorkeling ornament was going to be impossible. Imagine my surprise when your website came up through my AOL search. Your company's snorkeling ornament was perfect!! The snorkeler was a female, had brown hair and even was a little bit chubby. Just like me! I am so excited for my family to see the ornament that I chose that represents me. I know I will be coming back to shop for more ornaments. Merry Christmas to your and your loved ones!
Happy New Year!

Older adults didn't grow up with computers and the Internet. Whereas today's teenager or young adult has experienced computers since birth and early childhood, the computer and the web are relatively new inventions for older adults. For this reason, teaching seniors how to use a computer and navigate the web requires a comprehensive approach.
Computer Skills: Children vs. Seniors
If you've ever watched a room full of children interact with computers, you've noticed that they jump to the task. They are many steps ahead of you and do not hesitate to push the keyboard buttons and move the mouse. This is in direct contrast to older adults who constantly ask, "Is it okay if I click on this?"
Children are fearless in regards to computers because they do not realize the consequences. Adults, on the other hand, are afraid that they will cause some kind of damage or create a problem they don't know how to fix.
Breaking Things Down
When teaching adults how to use a computer, break down all steps to their smallest components. Don't take for granted that they will know the meaning of "right-click." Explain how to use a mouse and the difference between right- and left-clicking. Computer terminology such as "desktop" and "tool bar" should also be explained.
Repetition is Key
Adults often need to practice their computer skills repeatedly before the steps become second nature. Instruct the adult(s) you're teaching to take notes. Provide screen shots of computer images so that when they are going through the steps without you present, they have visual tools to guide the way.

Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Post Your Small, or Big, Victory For The Day!
Yesterday I did my first run over 18 miles, capping off my PB weekly mileage at 46. Still need to work on the endurance, because my feet get really sore on the longer runs. Then again, how my feet were feeling yesterday was pretty much how they were feeling after my first 10 mile run last fall. So there is progress.
completed my 2nd half marathon today and pr'd by about 30 seconds. not bad considering it was a training run for the full and I wasn't racing.
Long Drawfs Fast
Congrats on the 40+ miles . You may want to join the 40/40 group. It helped me to stay on track with my miles. Recovering from an injure so no longer posting in the group.
Run until the trail runs out.
2013***1500 miles
50 miler
WTG. PR on a training run
Had a 30 mile week that did not included a marathon. It has been awhile.
First run in the rain.
I experience this though I only run in a short distance, I am afraid of getting sick
As of today, I run about 5 miles with my friends, kinda fun
we should prioritize our health and body. my site
broke 100 miles for month yesterday for 45th consecutive 100 + mpm
2013 Goal: Survive JFK50
---As to "first run in the rain", I really love running in the rain! When the rain is hardest (if no lightning), then I am out there in it. :-) Expands the horizons and makes other runs in 'dry' shoes + clothes seem easy. Sometimes some self-forced adversity puts all other things in a better perspective. :-)
---TO PAE and the "sore feet on the 18-miler" comment, sounds familiar! All I can say is "time on feet" increasing will fix that. There will come a day if you increase mileage that you will be able to do 18 and not have those issues anymore. :-)
---To Skyedog who broke 100 miles for a 45th consecutive month, all I can say is that I am trying to follow in your footsteps! Great work and consistency!
And that is the 3 things I saw right off the bat and wanted to reply to. What is my big victory? Well, that I ran my 3rd Marathon at a 110% effort those last 6 miles and got my sub-4 goal (3:59:27,close!) Also, that even after having wrecked legs afterward, today (4 days later), I was able to get on a treadmill today at PR breaking pace of close to a 6 minute mile and it seemed easy! :-) I'm stoked :-)
The Plan (big parts)→ /// Nov 23rd : JFK-50 Miler in MD (survived!) /// Dec 21st: Seashore Nature Trail 50K in VA Beach /// March 2014: Shamrock Marathon /// April 2014: 24 Hour Run for Cancer ∞
Took today off. I've been training really hard but am feeling the miles. The weather was better than usual... and I really wanted to go out... but common sense prevailed and I took a rest day. That's actually a victory for me
yeah I've been "forcing" myself to take at least 1 day off per week. very difficult sometimes especially when it is nice weather
Greenway marathon goal <5

Greenway marathon goal <5 4:57:15 Baby steps* Rehap Hills and more hills
That is awesome! To come in nearly 3 minutes under your goal time is fantastic! Congratulations and if you have written a race report I would love to read it.
Reached first 9 miles ever last Fri on 4-19-13. So far, no injuries! Hope to reach double digits soon....
Roadrunner's Apprentice
Small victory: first time I ever did 2 runs in the same day. Ran an easy 2 miles with my 9 year old son first then my regular pace for 3 miles a few hours later. So that's why some people have a dashed line around the days on their calendar!
2013 Goals:
- sub-26 5K : sub-56 10K
- Tell all of my excuses to shut up and lace up...
I ran a shorter run than I planned. It was a wise decision and my ankle is thanking me for it!! My victory was listening to myself and being able to run another day

In computer science, a metaobject or meta-object is any entity that manipulates, creates, describes, or implements other objects. The object that the metaobject is about is called the base object. Some information that a metaobject might store is the base object's type, interface, class, methods, attributes, variables, functions, control structures, etc.
Metaobject protocol[edit]
A metaobject protocol (MOP) is an interpreter of the semantics of a program that is open and extensible. Therefore, a MOP determines what a program means and what its behavior is, and it is extensible in that a programmer (or metaprogrammer) can alter program behavior by extending parts of the MOP. The MOP exposes some or all internal structure of the interpreter to the programmer. The MOP may manifest as a set of classes and methods that allow a program to inspect the state of the supporting system and alter its behaviour. MOPs are implemented as object-oriented programs where all objects are metaobjects.
Runtime and compile time[edit]
MOPs may be run-time or compile-time. The metaobjects of runtime MOPs exist while a program is running, or executing. On the other hand, the metaobjects of compile-time MOPs exist only while a program is compiled. They may alter or extend the compiling process, but do not exist when the program is running.
One of the best-known runtime MOPs is the one described in the book The Art of the Metaobject Protocol (often referred to as AMOP); it applies to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) and allows the mechanisms of inheritance, method dispatching, class instantiation and so on to be manipulated. At Xerox PARC, one of the authors of AMOP, Gregor Kiczales, developed a small but powerful MOP-based runtime object system in Scheme called TinyCLOS.[1] which has been ported to many Scheme implementations.
A good example of a compile-time MOP is OpenC++.
One example use of a MOP is to alter the implementation of multiple inheritance. A recurring issue is how to resolve conflicting slots and methods of the superclasses. Typically, language designers select one solution, and language users must live with it. Instead, a metaobject protocol makes it possible to change the rules of inheritance and choose a different solution for individual classes.
A metaobject protocol is one way to implement aspect-oriented programming languages. Many of the early founders of MOPs, including Gregor Kiczales have since moved on to be the primary advocates for aspect-oriented programming.

Will Se Penalise For Linking To Link Exchange Site
Posted 19 October 2004 - 04:50 AM
Some Link Exchange websites say they will approve our application only if they find the link of their website on our website.
As I do not want to get penalised I would like to get some feedback on this.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 05:39 AM
You can get penalised for linking to bad sites, but the crux is how to decide if a site is bad, and more importantly, how can you protect yourself from them going bad in the future.
When you link to a site you are recommending them. So ask yourself the question 'would I recommend this site if I did not want the link' ie, is the site a good resource!
If the answer is no, then don't link. Also take a look at the ort of sites they are linking with. Are they linking to PRN sites, warez, mp3, gambling etc. are the links on target and relevant to the content of the site you are linking to, or is it just a huge set of links of all sorts?
There really is no black and white answer here, you just have to look at what the site is like now, and in what direction you think the site may go in the future, then go with your gut instinct. My way is that if I have to consider should I be linking, then I should not be linking.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 10:21 AM

Posted 19 October 2004 - 11:12 AM
I am not asking whether I should put links of the websites listed in these link exchange websites.
Also I add all my links manually.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 11:31 AM
You can never be penalized by sites linking to you as that is not in your control but you can be held responsible for who you link to.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 11:32 AM
But that's the answer to your question. If you think links to those linking programs will benefit your visitors (because that's the reason why we have links on our sites), then of course it's fine to put them there.
If you're only doing it because it's a requirement, but not a benefit to your site users, then it's a bad move.
Don't know what the search engines will do; it doesn't matter as it's not really a concern since your users are the ones who buy your stuff (presumably).
Posted 19 October 2004 - 11:36 AM
You are obviously unsure of the linking arrangement so you already know the answer and because you are considering the SEs first you are already looking from the wrong perspective.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 11:39 AM
As the others have said, if it's of no value to your visitors, it's really of no value to you!
Posted 19 October 2004 - 12:02 PM
If you are not 100% happy with the content of the site, and the outbound links on the site that you are linking to, then don't link. You are recommending this site to your clients, they are going to associate the quality of YOUR site with the quality of THAT site you have linked to.
Posted 19 October 2004 - 12:44 PM
Harish - I think we're all wondering why you'd want to put these links on your site, is it a requirement they have to using their services?
I took a quick look at one of the sites you mentioned and it doesn't appear to be a link farm, but I also can't find where it says you have to add the link back.
Posted 20 October 2004 - 12:52 AM
Thanks to all.
Debra I have not listed all the Link Exchange sites here. I do agree some of them don't expect you to link to them but most of them so expect you to do so.
Check this link
It is clearly mentioned that they will approve a site only if they find their link on my site.
Posted 20 October 2004 - 03:05 AM
Posted 20 October 2004 - 07:31 AM
It takes a lot of time doing so. Also one is not sure whether the site is regularly monitored. The response time from is very long. In these Link Exchange sites when one adds his/her website we are sure they are looking for reciprocal links.

[Below is the original script. But a few changes may have been made during the recording of this audio podcast.]
Spring is in the air and as flowers bloom, honeybees buzz into action, pollinating from now until late fall. Humans add to that bee business, trucking the insects across country to pollinate vast fields of crops, from almonds in California to apples in Maine.
While this sounds like the most natural thing for the honeybees, they are technically an invasive species in North America.
That's right, the seemingly sweet honeybee is a human-introduced European import crowding out native species, such as the blue orchard bee. Not unlike zebra mussels or kudzu.
But honeybees are a useful invader. With other insects, they provide some $57 billion worth of free ecosystem services, such as pollination.
That's why scientists sprang into action as reports of a mysterious disease wiping out bee hives swarmed in 2007 and 2008. Dubbed colony collapse disorder, the deaths have been linked to pesticides, disease and overwork. For more on that, check out our online In-Depth Report this week "The Buzz on Bees."
While studies have shown that our native bees could pinch pollinate for the European imports, their populations are too small to fill the honeybee's role.
Fortunately, early reports from this winter are promising. Honeybees seem to be recovering. That's sweet news for farmers, foodies and, yes, honey lovers.

"Cosa Brava is a quintet formed in March 2008 in Oakland, California by multi-instrumentalist and composer Fred Frith (Henry Cow, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog). Fred Frith's career began as a folk and later rock musician - he co-founded Henry Cow in 1968 - but has since diversified into a number of different genres, from avant-jazz to contemporary classical music. He has written scores for film and dance, and music for orchestras and string quartets. But, like a lot of musicians, the idea of "genre" is not really very interesting to him anyway!
The motivation behind the formation of Cosa Brava arose out of Frith's love of rock music in general and songs in particular. He said, "Over the years I've done a lot of improvising, and composed a lot of music on paper. I've written for orchestras and string quartets, directed ensembles of improvisers of all descriptions, produced scores for dance and film. I even somehow became a Professor of Composition! But I really miss what you can do with a rock band. I miss developing material through the push and pull of cooperative rehearsals, I miss what happens when you move away from "the parts" and start formulating things with a collective ear, I miss the single-minded commitment to a group identity. The musicians in Cosa Brava can improvise, read scores, AND rock the house. ... Like I say, if you pick the right players, chances are the music will take care of itself."
Frith had previously worked with Zeena Parkins in Skeleton Crew and Keep the Dog, and had collaborated with Carla Kihlstedt on several albums."-Intakt

Speaking as a Presbyterian pastor, we believe that when a young child is brought to be baptized, that child is presented on behalf of the parent's faith. I have to wonder, did Lauren's pastor ask where the dad is? If the pastor knew the father disapproved and proceeded with the baptism, why is he/she not being charged with violating the court order also? Because the pastor is not mentioned in this story, I am assuming he/she was not aware of the court order. But it is an observation worth noting.
Assuming Lauren withheld the information of the court order from the pastor, how can she in good conscious and Christian faith bring her children forward to be baptized? One of the questions she would have answered as part of the ceremony is, "Do you intend to provide for his/her Christian nurture?" Call me crazy, but deception is not part of Christian nurture.
The father is not upset that his two kids are baptized. Emmett is upset because they were not baptized in a way that he himself wanted them to be baptized. He wanted them to first have a better understanding of the sacrament. It should be noted that both the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches practice infant baptism. We baptize infants because we believe that God Himself initiates our relationship with Him and grace works in our lives before we are even aware of it or can understand it. If the father is a good Methodist he should not have issue with his children being baptized. This is not to side with the mother; I just question the father's motives.
Then there are the kids. They will grow up viewing this event not as a ceremony in which they were brought before God to be received into His family but as an event which divided their parents and introduced court proceedings. What do you think that will do to their faith? If these children are being brought up on their parent's faith, I wonder if they will ever want to have a relationship with God, let alone be baptized if given the option.
This is a sad story. Infant or adult baptism; we believe that God is doing something. At a minimum Christians believe that God is symbolically claiming the baptized person into His family. Can we trick God into accepting someone? Doesn't God have a say in this? If God is all-knowing, would he willingly accept a child into his Church knowing the child's father was being deceived? God is not a God of deception, but a God of truth. If I was the pastor who baptized these two children, I would be conflicted. Should I sign that baptismal certificate and record it with the church or tell the mom God won't honor her deception? These parents have made the sacrament of baptism not about God or their children, but about themselves. They have used deception and revenge to try and control God. If God is the one central to baptism, why is He being left out?
Your thoughts?

Originally posted by Waterlily GW2 may have solved the "boring grind" problem, but IMO, it found many, many other ways of being boring. |
Originally posted by MMOExposed Pssst, he was being sarcastic. |
if people feel games like gw2 are grindy in terms of "having" to do the same very repetative tasks to level and get things done they really have not played many MMOs in the past... just go play one of the million free MMOs out like cabal, PWI, shaiya, jade dynasty, lineage 2, RO, ect ect... if you never played a game like lineage 2 when it was first released you really have no clue what a real grind is imho...
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

I play GW2 on and off and while I'm not in love with the game there are certainly games that are far more grindy.
GW2 feels like a grind to me. Mostly because although you are seamlessly going about it's not much fun for me and very solo oriented, that's just my taste though I didn't like the childish environment/graphics much either, nor the action combat etc. etc. Pretty much everything about the game feels soulless but well built like so many AAA MMOs IMHO.

Originally posted by stayontarget running up and down NPC getting quest after quest, getting daily after daily, spending most of your time running to the guy with the question mark is not grinding? It's grinding too, but it's much worse than the old grinding where you just killed mobs, because there you actually had time to talk to your group and focus on the gameplay. |
Originally posted by Waterlily Agreed. There are different types of grinding and doing mind numbing events or the same daily quests can really suck your will to live. James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got? |
Grind is going to exist, its all about if its done in a way that is fun. Tera had a standerd quest system (which is a shame) though its combat often helped weaken the feeling of 'grinding'. GW2 had quests packaged a little different with more 'events' to make it feel a little different though of course just being repackaged quests still. Neither game I feel did a very good job at hiding the grind. Tera's combat is amazing but still quite flawed, and GW2's quest 'disguise' is easily seen through within the first few hours of play, and doesn't have combat that is very good or progressive making it get repetative really quickly and really early. It wasn't about not having grind, it was about having engaging gameplay. Tera comes close to this but in the end it needed more of what GW2 attempted to hide the quest. Sure GW2 failed poorly at it (and dailies are just daily quests repackaged as 'achievement dailies') but it at least did try and make it feel different, the events, though very static feeling, at least came close to making things more interesting even if it came just short of hitting the mark. Action combat is a way to draw attention and hide the grind, but it needs to be done right. |
No thanks, daily checklists are so boring, it is like you are being told what you have to do every day.
Originally posted by Waterlily And? Your first sentence says this is about "mob grinding". He's right, you don't know what it means. In fact, it doesn't seem like you know what your thread is about. |
games are only how players make them to be. if you say the games boring yes it will be boring. if you say wow this is the most amazing game ever, i look forward to logging on and playing with all of my online friends and we can beat the gw2 boss etc lol XD |
Originally posted by Eir_S I don't know what you're talking about. My thread is going over your head it seems even though most people have no trouble getting it. Maybe you are new to MMO, but people have long realised that quest grinding exists. My premise is that the alternative of quest grinding is no better than that of mob grinding, in fact it's worse. In fact, GW2 and Tera are using WoW's old model of quest grinding. If you don't get it by now I can't help you. |
Yes... because having daily achievements that were added specifically to cater to those complaining they didn't have enough crap to grind for, is exactly what Anet was talking about when they said they were offering alternatives to the standard kill quest. /eyeroll And so the great GW2 smear campaign continues. Some of these people should consider a career in politics, they're getting a lot of practice skewing the truth. |
True but he clarified that the OP was sarcastic. Eh, I think there are positives and negatives to both "grouping mob kill" leveling and "quest leveling". I will give GW2 credit that at least people are congregating for a similar purpose and helping eachother out.
Dear devs, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks. I laugh every time someone calls EQN a Themepark, when the whole thing is literally made out of the digital equivalent of sand. - Fendel84M |
Originally posted by Waterlily Haha. "It's over your head." Never heard that on the internet before... talk about innovation. Sarcasm is new as well. You're right, your thread is going great! PS: It's only grinding if you make yourself do it or the game makes you do it. I've done GW2 dailies without even noticing. Have fun with your campaign of inaccuracy. |
Originally posted by Eir_S well thanks for the derail all the same, goodbye |
Originally posted by Aelious Even though he's being sarcastic, he's completely overlooking the fact (deliberately) that in GW2 the 'grind' is entirely optional. It's literally there for people who complain about not having enough things to grind for. In TERA, it's mandatory. You literally can't get through the game w/ out grinding your little heart out. GW2? You can get to 80 in a day provided you have ~10g and internet access. Neither of which are hard to come by. It's also insanely easy to get max-lvl exotics in GW2, which is considered max-stat gear for most purposes. You can get that extra 5% boost from grinding fractal gear if you want, but it's far from necessary, and doesn't give you much of an advantage. |

This hands-on activity will guide you in making a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics that behavior of the gecko foot. The process is called "nanomolding." Also described is an easy setup using Legos for testing how much weight the gecko tape can hold. Significant amount of research is ongoing in the field of synthetic Gecko tape due to its wide variety of applications. This program gives a glimpse of one of the methods used by researchers for making a synthetic gecko tape and its properties.

Control experiment?
Submitted by Tom Deits on Fri, 08/27/2010 - 10:49.
We are reviewing this experiment for possible use and have a question - double sticky tape is used as the base for the silicon microcolumns, but to what extent does the inherent stickiness of the original tape contribute to the ability of the material to adhere when tested? Would a control using the original sticky tape for comparison be a useful addition to the experiment?

I assume that some people on here have defined terms and conditions on their websites. How did you come to define it? Did you hire a lawyer to help draft one up or go online and find a template that you leveraged?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I assume that some people on here have defined terms and conditions on their websites. How did you come to define it? Did you hire a lawyer to help draft one up or go online and find a template that you leveraged? Any input is greatly appreciated. |
This is a little open ended, as a lot will determine what the terms and conditions cover, if we are talking about a brochure site for your company then their are loads of boiler templates which when combined with your privacy policy should work well enough. If you are running a site with a free or paid for service and expect users to sign up and the TOC are for both the site and this service then it's a different ball game. There are lots of templates out their but it's worth running anything like that past a lawyer, especially if you are unsure of small changes from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Also rarely are two services alike so changes will have to be made, again this is something you can do, or pass it to a lawyer to look at. If you site is a pure E-commerce store then again their are hundreds of templates out there and assuming your TOS do not outline any after sales or warranty conditions should be straight forward and a boiler template should cover it, but again it comes back to any doubts or worries and assuming you have the money to consult a lawyer. When I was first starting up I had a friend who had just completed law school and bartered for his time to help look over documents, if you know someone in a similar position even if you decide to go down the template route it's worth letting them read it. This is not a substitue for getting a lawyer to draft anything, but at least is better then having a sit around and dreaming up legalease sounding words. n.b I am not a lawyer. | |||
The folks at Automattic (makers of WordPress) have a very useful Terms of Service template here: It's available under a liberal Creative Commons license. We use it for status.net, in a slightly modified form. | |||
I'm a lawyer who works for a small start up. Before last summer, I had never drafted any T&C's, so I was in a similar position as you (albeit with a legal education). I found 3-4 other companies that do similar things to mine, and used theirs to draft my own. If there were clauses that I wasn't sure about, then I used Google/Wikipedia to get a better understanding. This is what attorneys do, and you can do it yourself as well. Better to paraphrase and mix and match so that you don't get accused of copyright infringement. This isn't a big risk as attorneys are constantly borrowing from existing documents and there isn't much creativity in drafting legal terms. Since you are asking here, I'm assuming you don't have a lot of cash to spend on attorneys. That also means you don't have a lot to risk so it is probably ok if your T&C's are not perfect. If you start making money, then hire an attorney to look them over. | |||||
There are several legal aspects to be considered to ensure that a website runs legally and securely, and that best interests of the business are served. From my experienceone needs to have is very diligently drafted legal documentation on your website. Your website shall have all the required disclaimers of regulating Acts and/or agencies, and in the right format. The legal documentation for every website is specific depending on particular governing law and functionality. Mere copy paste of legal documentation can be a vulnerable threat to your web based business. You should also include clauses which most of them ignore like Notification Changes, Refund Policy etc. | ||||

By Greg Johnson
A new selection process to be followed only in the event that bowl-eligible teams in the Football Bowl Subdivison are exhausted was approved Thursday by the Division I Board of Directors.
The board was concerned that conferences and bowls could become overcommitted and not account for potential of bowl ineligibility due to factors beyond won-lost records, such as infractions penalties and Academic Progress Rate deficiencies.
Under the process approved Thursday, if a bowl has one or more conferences/teams unable to meet their contractual commitments and there are no available bowl-eligible teams, the open spots can be filled – by the bowl sponsoring agencies – as follows:
A bowl will be allowed to use the extra pools of teams only one time over a four-year period. The special provision ends after four years in order to encourage bowls and institutions/conferences to avoid over commitment. Currently, 35 bowls are available for Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
To be bowl eligible, teams must meet academic standards and have at least a 6-6 record, in which only one of the victories is against a team from the FCS.
In other business, the Board:

Tributes to popular Orpington postman Charlie Gillett
10:55am Monday 17th September 2012 in Bromley By Harry Kemble
HIS cheery whistle may be heard no more on the streets of Orpington.
But the popular postie Charlie Gillett is still remembered and residents are expected to pay tribute to him in large numbers on Wednesday (19).
Mr Gillett, who died aged 97 on September 6, was revered during his 10 years as a postman by all age groups on his Cloonmore patch.
Reverend Alan Bowley, who worked at the post office alongside Mr Gillett, says there were not many posties who were more "dedicated" to their job.
"He went out on his round whether it was rain, wind or sunshine," said Rev Bowley, 83, who will conduct the ceremony. "He was a happy go lucky chap and as postman he was very dedicated.
"He put the customer first every time and would go out of his way to make sure he did his round."
Rev Bowley says particulary around the hilly area of Cloonmore where if it snowed, Mr Gillett would leave his bike behind and complete his round on foot.
On retiring in 1979, residents threw a party for him where he received a £100 cheque, two scrap books and a silver bone from "all the animals who loved him".
His niece Pamela Whitlock says the family had lost contact with Charlie for over 30 years before locating him in 2004.
"He seemed to be a happy fella," said Mrs Whitlock. "But everything we know is from the cuttings."
The albums contained 150 signatures and poems thanking him for his service and pictures of children standing across Cloonmore with "Charlie's patch" signs.
The Whitlock family hope people will come to Wednesday's service giving them a chance to learn more about a very special postman.
Charles Frederick Gillett died at home, Apsley Court, in St Mary Cray.
The funeral is on Wednesday, September 19 at 1pm at Eltham Crematorium.

I am holding a few more of my regular Craft Support groups and then in June I am closing it all out by teaching a mini book class at a retreat the agency is organizing here in Hesperia for all the caregivers on June 10th at 9am. This is what I need help with.
I planned on creating the base of each mini book for each attendee and then they could decorate it and add photos in the 45 minute class time.
Well, they called me yesterday and said they have 60 confirmed attendees, possibly 80. YIKES!! It takes me about 10-15 minutes to make one book and that means about 12 hours of time that I don't really have in the next 3 weeks. So this is where I am asking for your help.
- Deadline: June 1, 2010 -- I need time to make extras in case I don't receive enough
- 1-2 books from you will be AWESOME! If you can do more, please send more ;)
- You can attach a tag to the binding of the book with your name/website, whatever info you want and that you donated if you like
- If you need supplies, you are welcome to come to my house and we can create some books together
OR you can stop by one of my classes/events and give it to me there. Here is where I will be the next few weeks:
May 15 - The Red Bee 2pm-5pm
May 16 - Collective Journey 1pm-4pm
May 19 - The Red Bee 530pm-730pm
May 22 - Kat Scrap Studio 12-3pm
May 23 -The Red Bee 12-3pm
May 25 - Collective Journey 530pm-730pm
May 30-31 - Crop at Aprile's Attic All Day
Each book must have:
- FIVE 6x6 chipboard base pages - NO cardstock or page protector inner pages please.
- Chipboard pages must be covered with paper on both sides
- Please use strong adhesive.
- Bound in a stable way: 3 binder rings, O-Wires (Zutter Bind It All) along entire spine, in center only (6 holes), or on edges only (3 holes on top and 3 holes on bottom
- Paper must coordinate throughout book -- please try to avoid themes (birthday, Christmas, etc) and use Cardstock or a subtle pattern if possible. Try to imagine what someone in their 60's + might like. Graphic 45 will likely be a hit. It does not have to be all the same brand, just generally something that makes sense.
- Please create something you would like to receive
- Paint the edges to cover the chipboard
- Ink if you want, however you want
- Cover the pages with strips of papers, as long as they match -- it is fine to use your scraps just make sure it is something you would like to receive if it were you in the class
- Round the corners of the pages
- Use colored O-wire or rings
- Tie ribbon on rings or O-wires
- Spritz book with spray ink like Glimmer Mist
- Add little extras like tags, ribbon, embellies in a little bag tied to the spine of the book to help the person decorate it. Think "family", "life", "grandkids", "love"...those are all themes they would like.
You can have different papers on one page, add borders or whatever if you want to put a little more into it but plain covered pages are fine too.
The caregivers will really appreciate it ;) If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Now onto Scrap It Forward!!
Scrap It Forward is a blog where several friends got together to host scrapbooking challenges that not only encourage you to scrap but also encourage you to do a good deed for someone else in the process, whether it be give socks to a homeless shelter, make cards for the troops, or make a gift for a teacher you appreciate.

Conditions of Use
Once upon a time a kid in Kittery moved to Rye. Sometimes he would ride his bike to Kittery. Then one day the normal bridge he took was closed. He got wicked mad he went past the Macro Polo store down the road a very long ways and crossed the never-ending bridge he went to his friends house and by the time he got there he had chewed a whole pack of gum. He played video games and hung out w/ his friend until his mom told him to go home he got to the golden egg and then she picked him up there. When he got home he told his mom about the long trip across the bridge she then proceeded to tell him that his 2 trips across the never-ending bridge were pointless because the usual bridge he took was open to pedestrians and cyclists.
