Tony Abbott's Liberal-National coalition yesterday won a commanding lower house majority, ending six years of Labor party rule. However, the makeup of the senate is yet to be decided. Senate votes take days, if not weeks, to tally, but early figures from the Australian Electoral commission suggest that several new minority parties might hold the balance of power.
In this case, the Australian senate could look decidedly more colourful in July 2014, when the newly elected senators would take their seats.
Glenn Lazarus, a Palmer United senate candidate, was nicknamed "the brick with eyes" when he played rugby, and once posed naked with only a brick to promote a brick company.
Clive Palmer, who started the Palmer United party, has himself claimed a seat in the house of representatives. He is the multimillionaire owner of coal, iron ore and nickel assets, with plans to build a working replica of the Titanic and put mechanical dinosaurs on a luxury golf resort. Read more

'Cutch is clutch for Bucs with four hits, homer in loss
Sanchez, Martin and Marte all go deep in back-and-forth battle
MILWAUKEE -- Twenty-five Supermen walking on a bed of Kryptonite. Twenty-five Ironmen passing through a magnetic field.
The Pirates are still all that in Miller Park, where they have played two games as the top club in the National League Central, and lost both by a cumulative 22-12.
Tuesday's 12-8 defeat took the Pirates out of that division lead, but it couldn't take them out of the fight. This was an old-fashioned barn-burner, deadlocked at 8-8 until Yuniesky Betancourt began the bottom of the seventh with a homer off the new guy in the bullpen, Bryan Morris.
"You keep playing. We came back -- we had the lead, we had an opportunity to win the game," said Andrew McCutchen, who did much of the heavy-lifting on a night he went 4-for-5 with a home run. "It showed we aren't going to give up. We don't worry about the past, the stats, whatever ... just show up and keep playing hard."
On a personal level, McCutchen quickly reversed the stats and now is streaking in the other direction. He'd been 1-for-25 before a single in the eighth inning of Monday's game, and he had four straight hits in this game until he lined out hard to center on his final at-bat in the ninth. Even a month of at-bats into the season, Tuesday night's spurt added 30 points to his average, raising it to .247.
Team-wise, the trend in Milwaukee was unchanged. Even going toe-to-toe with the Brewers to play their style did not avoid the Pirates' 46th loss in the last 53 games at Miller Park. The Bucs lost despite hitting four home runs -- their first defeat while homering four times since June 14, 2008, in an 8-7 Interleague loss to Baltimore.
"When you don't make pitches, you don't get outs," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We made way too many mistakes on the mound, start to finish. We've got to do a better job of making them uncomfortable. For two nights, we haven't done it."
On their good days, the Pirates' James McDonald and the Brewers' Marco Estrada can be among the toughest right-handers in the National League. This wasn't that day for either, as both starters set the tone for the free-for-all.
Both staggered through five innings, McDonald allowing seven runs on eight hits and five walks and Estrada giving up five runs on seven hits.
A two-run homer by Gaby Sanchez in the third inning briefly tied the game at 3-3 and trained the spotlight on the first baseman.
As far as Pirates hitters awakening from early-season snoozes go, Sanchez had been lost in the shadow of Russell Martin, the National League's reigning Player of the Week. Martin recovered from an 0-for-17 start, but Sanchez wasn't too far ahead of that pace, with one hit in his first 18 at-bats.
Sanchez has since hit .405 (17-for-42), and is tied with McCutchen for the team lead with 16 RBIs.
Three batters into the bottom of the inning, McDonald had spurned the second life given to him by Sanchez's fourth homer, as the Brewers regained the lead on back-to-back one-out doubles by Rickie Weeks and Carlos Gomez.
The Brewers kept their feet on the pedal in the fourth, opening a 7-3 lead, the big blow of the three-run rally being Weeks' two-run single.
Then it was the Bucs' turn.
Martin and McCutchen launched back-to-back home runs to narrow the deficit to 7-5 in the fifth, Estrada's final inning. Then the Bucs took their usual bites out of someone's bullpen: Brandon Inge and Clint Barmes singled off Brandon Kintzler, and with two outs, Starling Marte crushed a three-run homer off Burke Badenhop for an 8-7 lead.
Marte's drive to center was originally ruled in play and went for a game-tying two-run double, but it only took the umpiring crew a few seconds of review to see that the ball had actually cleared the wall before bouncing back on the field.
The unlikely prospect of McDonald -- who had departed for a pinch-hitter during that go-ahead rally -- actually being credited with a win was quickly spoiled, as Jean Segura led off the bottom of the sixth with a tying homer off Vin Mazzaro.
In the eighth, Weeks finished off the Bucs and his own big night with a three-run homer off lefty Tony Watson.
In addition to five runs, Weeks helped drive home the point Sanchez had made to him earlier in the game.
"I was talking to him a little bit," Weeks said, "and he was saying, 'I don't know what it is, but every time [we] come here, something happens.' They were hot coming in. I congratulated him earlier in the series. So I don't know what it is; we're just playing good baseball."
Tom Gorzelanny suffered as one of the pitchers on Pittsburgh's losing squads through 2009, and he added to the suffering as the winning pitcher in relief on Tuesday. Having been on both sides of the domination hasn't helped him understand it any better.
"It's just a freak thing that they can't win here, I guess," Gorzelanny said. "I was a part of the 'no-wins.' I don't know how it is."
Both clubs had misfired on first-inning chances. The Pirates did plate one run on McCutchen's RBI single -- which scored Marte following his habitual game-opening hit -- but left the bases loaded as Pedro Alvarez popped out and Inge struck out. In the bottom of the inning, the Brewers stranded the tying run on second.
Milwaukee did not miss its next opportunity. McDonald lost his control -- and his 1-0 lead -- in the second. Two walks to open the inning were cashed in on a double down the left-field line by Martin Maldonado, who also scored when Garrett Jones fumbled Estrada's single to right for an error.

A PACKED house today at Lane Farm, Crooklands, gathered to hear of a 'fantastic year' for the Westmorland County Agricultural Society Limited.
The charity stages the annual Westmorland County Show on the second Thursday of September and today officially declared 2013 a record-breaker.
Over 30,000 people visited and there was a record 1026 entries in the sheep section and 478 in the cattle - just two short of the 2012 record.
The cattle section involved Beef Shorthorn classes for the first time while the grand parade saw more cattle than ever taking part.
There was also record entries in the 'young handler' classes in both sheep and cattle, members were told.
Entries in the Alpaca classes and poultry section also increased last year, while stands for the 2014 event on September 11 this year are already a third booked up.
The organisation's balance sheet is 'really strong' said auditors, due in part to record gate receipts, programme brochures and trade stands.
The society's other main event - Countryfest - will take place again on Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1 after a successful 2013.
Giving her speech to the 215-year-old society's annual general meeting, chief executive Christine Knipe said the visit to last year's show by Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex, would live long in the memory.
"The 2013 show was made even more special by the first ever Royal Visit for in our 214 year history," said Mrs Knipe.
"It was a huge honour for the society, members and volunteers. The difference a Royal visitor made was amazing and all the behind-the-scenes planning was worth it and will be long remembered," said Mrs Knipe.
That was supported by outgoing President Tom Gorst, who handed over the reins to incoming President and retired bank manager, Bob Bond, from Bolton-le-Sands.
Mr Gorst, formerly of Killington, said it had been a honour to serve as president during 2013 which was capped by the arrival of a grandchild and the attendance of HRH at the event.
"I found her a remarkable, down-to-earth lady who made me feel at ease right away and it was a privilege to be in her company," he said.
Meanwhile Mrs Knipe stressed that the economic benefit of the show extended beyond the society - helping local B&Bs, hotels and petrol stations, among others.
And she added: "The backbone of the society are its members, stewards and volunteers. Without their support, our work and the show itself, could not be enjoyed by so many. We are very lucky to have such a great team."
The last year also saw the society 'over-achieve' in training people with over 568 through the doors for courses as varied as mole-catching to information technology.
Over 1570 children and staff from 43 primary schools also experienced life on a working farm - thanks to the society and the Mason family who run the 270-acre Heaves Farm, Levens.
"It was very rewarding for children and our own farmers alike," said Mrs Knipe, who closed by saying the society was hoping for 'a long, dry hot summer'.

You Have AIDS
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
You, <insert name here> (19?? – ) were born several years ago and now You Have AIDS.
No whining or bitching. Because you can't. You have AIDS.
You at least want some questions answered?
You'd probably be better off just getting used to keeping quiet, AIDS boy.
And that also goes for the smart bitch right there that just said "I'm not a boy". You have AIDS, too.
edit Welcome to AIDSity
In your first and final venture into AIDSness, you may notice how the weather is neither hot nor cold, and how there are no rainy days or sunny days, because you are in a hospital (unless of course, you are poor. In that case, enjoy dying in an alleyway). Or more specifically, you may have noticed how you hurt a lot and have purple splotches on your face.
Be very alarmed. Do not be alarmed. In fact, you may find in your AIDS state that approximately 100% of the sensations and phenomena you were familiar with in your non-AIDS days are probably still there, unless you are a sociopath, but then they were never there. Either way, nobody cares.
Remember how, when you didn't have AIDS, you wasted hours and hours watching daytime (and probably night-time) television? Well, this is exactly like that, except without the television, unless you're in one of those fancy hospitals, but the TV still sucks, so it doesn't really matter.
Perhaps you have noticed internet links to the cure for AIDS. Please do not click them. In the past, countless AIDS-people like yourself have fooled themselves into believing it was real. However, this is false. It is really just the result of a twelve year old being allowed on the internet. I hate that. You don't though. Because You Have AIDS.
As for any friends or family you have at your bedside, please rest assured. You will never have to worry about them again. They might be playing Angry Birds on their cellphone, or texting, or they might not be at your bedside. I don't know. They may even be mourning you, but don't count on it. Because they have AIDS too.
edit Things to do when you have AIDS
- Take medication
- Cry
- Take more medication
Or, you could try one of these things:
edit You Have AIDS FAQ
- Q: I was a good person all of my life. I lived honestly, I respected others and I made every effort to help those in need, whether family, friend or stranger. So, why did I get AIDS?
- A: You were probably a little more sexually active than most. Enjoy.
- Q: I was basically a selfish, belligerent asshole throughout my entire life, but I still think I was pretty sweet. Why did I get AIDS?
- A: Because you were a horrible, selfish person, and God hates you.
- Q: Why does the bad person get a hidden compliment and I don't?
- A: Because you were openly gay.
- Q: Wait, but I wasn't gay.
- A: Too bad.
- Q: If I hadn't read this article would I not have AIDS?
- A: ...Yes.
- Q: Can I create the cure to AIDS?
- A: ...No.
- Q: How about co-creating?
- A: No.
- Q: Maybe co-co-creating?
- A: No!!!
- Q: Patent?
- A: No!!!!! That doesn't even make sense!
- Q: Document?
edit Bye
You have AIDS. A-Y-E-E-D-S. AIDS. GET OVER IT!!!

The Mets signed Jose Valentin to a minor league contract this afternoon. Valentin, 38, hit .241 (40-166) with 11 doubles, one triple, three home runs and 18 RB in 51 games before he fractured his right tibia when he fouled a pitch off his leg, July 20, at LA.
Said GM Omar Minaya: "Jose is progressing well from his surgery and already is rehabbing for his return. We hope he can bounce back and help us in a variety of ways."
Valentin hopes to be playing in mid-March. He hit .271 (104-384) with 24 doubles, three triples, 18 home runs and 62 RBI in 137 games in 2006. If Valentin is able to play anything like he did that season it's a no-brainer for the Mets. Plus, he has a positive influence on Jose Reyes, which is probably the biggest reason in bringing him back.

Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2012
The louche London look Tommy Hilfiger adopted for fall appears to have been the fashion equivalent of a semester abroad, because for spring the designer is firmly planted back on U.S. soil. The collection he showed Sunday was full-on Americana prep. Girls with clean faces and tight ponytails sported striped cable-knit sweaters layered over rugby shirts, crisp shirtdresses with shirttail hems, and glen plaid bikini bottoms worn with color-blocked ponchos all done in Starburst brights.
There were hints of the sixties in the boxy, short dress silhouettes, and the seventies in the richly colored silk jumpsuits. Where the looks caught up to modern day were in the print-on-print shirt and pant combinations—now practically a given in every spring collection—and the voluminous, sporty outerwear in Easter egg hues.
Hilfiger spent the summer globe-trotting with his Prep World pop-up shop, a white clapboard beach house stocked with Prep World-brand clothes, tennis racquets, croquet sets, and ping pong paddles. It made stops everywhere from Paris, Stockholm, and Madrid to Sylt, but it appears that somewhere along the way, Hilfiger decided there's no place like home.

The Annunciation
about 1475
Piermatteo d'Amelia, Italian (Umbria), about 1450-1503/1508
Tempera on wood, 102.4 x 114.8 cm
Genre: European Art, Paintings
Location: Raphael Room
Accession Number: P16w4
The subject of the Archangel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary to say she will bear the son of God was often depicted in dramatic and innovative architectural settings, both in Italy and in the Netherlands during the Renaissance. Here, the sweeping recession to the central doorway is the unifying element of the composition. The perspective lines on the floor divide the figures and focus attention on the hilly landscape beyond.
Like many Italian Renaissance painters, Piermatteo d'Amelia was concerned with the principles of optical perspective. However, the painting is neither formulaic nor rigidly symmetrical. The architecture varies significantly from left to right, the open courtyard giving way to an arcade, as if to embody the Virgin's motherly embrace. In the center, a spray of lilies and the dove connect the archangel with the Virgin.
The painting was made for the main altar of the Franciscan church in Amelia, a small town in Umbria near Spoleto. Since 1900, the painting has borne many different attributions, and was long known simply as the work of the Master of the Gardner Annunciation, but documents now indicate that the artist is Piermatteo d'Amelia, a pupil and assistant of Filippo Lippi.

Hey all,.
Like the ones that I can use from newborn through toddler with minimal to no sewing. I searched and got tons of info but I want to hear peoples opinions about the best way first. Thanks.
Hey all,.
Like the ones that I can use from newborn through toddler with minimal to no sewing. I searched and got tons of info but I want to hear peoples opinions about the best way first. Thanks.
I have been babywearing for around 2.5 years now and I have gradually added carriers to my collection.
In my opinion, the most versatile type of baby carrier is a woven wrap. This can be used from newborn and I've even seen sleepy school age children carried in them on occasion! One of the things I love about the woven wrap is just how many ways there are to tie/ wrap it. I am constantly finding out about new ways to use it. You can use it on your front, back or hip and it is very supportive (because the material does not give). A Rebozo wrap is a special kind of woven wrap which can also be used to support a woman's body in pregnancy and labour (as well as for carrying your baby!).
I enjoy using a stretchy wrap (such as the Moby or the Kari Me or Je Porte Mon Bebe) for a newborn baby up until about 4 months (depending on the weight of the baby). Stretchy wraps can be tied onto your body before putting your baby inside them - which makes them easier to master than a woven wrap for new babywearing mums and dads. Stetching wraps can be used until your baby is around 2.5 years but I prefer a woven for older babies. It's so wonderful wearing your new baby close to you.
Ring slings are great for breastfeeding in. Although you can also breastfeed in the slings that I have mentioned above. I also find them good for when you are going to be putting your baby in and out of the sling frequency. However, I prefer to wear my baby on two shoulders for longer use (as the weight is distributed more evenly).
Another favourite sling of mine is the Mei Tai - again it can be used from birth and I find it excellent for breastfeeding in. There are so many lovely designs to choose from.
In case you haven't already guessed - I love babywearing!
I've been baby wearing for about 7 years now and always go back to a ring sling. I love how versatile it is and how well i can adjust the size to my growing babies.
I've also mastered several different carries to fit the needs of my babies at the time.
Our most favorite thing about ring slings is the ability to breastfeed as the poster mentioned above. I once was running through a busy international airport with a nursing baby in a ring sling. We made our flight and the baby nursed away.
I've tried Mei tai baby carriers as well, those seem to work great once baby has more head and neck control. I like how the weight is distributed across both shoulders and ties at the waist. I found that the MT was perfect for 6+ months and long walks or walks in the city.
We've also enjoyed wraps, they are quite confusing till one has mastered the different ways to wrap and tie them. Youtube provides numerous how to videos on all baby carriers.
The benefits to baby wearing are great as well. Parents are more intune to babies hunger cues, body temperatures are more regulated. Parents tend to be more confident in parenting because baby is always right with mom or dad. The list goes on and on.
I loved baby wearing as well and strongly encourage all new moms to find a carrier that suits them.
Carry away

Here's a great little video that shows 4 different ways to carry a baby in the ring sling. I found it a bit harder to use a ring sling with a newborn, but maybe it's just because I didn't practice enough. I know someone who loved her ring sling with her newborns, though.
Great video 5Homebirths4Kate,
I will tell you it did take me several tries to master the ring sling and the more i was determined the easier it seem to fall right into place.
I like how i could adjust the bub nice and snug and even wear him up higher. I LOVE ring slings!
Thanks for sharing your experiences sunnymumof5 and 5homebirthskate (wow - 10 children between you ladies!) - the more we do this the more new mums will feel confident to try babywearing. I can't imagine my life without babywearing! It's one of those things that I didn't realise would become such a key part of life...until I had kids
I never realized all the things i could do while wearing my baby....going to the lu.....with a baby attached...washing dishes...sweeping the floor...you name it! When your a mum, you can do anything while wearing a baby!
I am also attached to my first sling. I cant get rid of it. Its a keep sake.
I have used Ergobaby original baby carrier for my two babies .. Believe me , it is very much comfortable and I feel so relieved and relax towards my baby.. I just love it so much I strongly recommend young moms to find one which suits them..
Thanks for sharing your experiences .. Its great reading them

Early arrival of pollen gives area something to sneeze at
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 5:05 p.m.
If your car is covered in a dusty film and you're sneezing more than usual, you're not alone: The recent spring-like weather has driven up the local pollen count, causing allergies and allergy-like symptoms in many people, experts say.
To minimize your exposure to pollen:
- Wash your hands frequently and your body and hair daily to get the pollen off.
- Don't line-dry your clothes outside.
- Use a saline solution to clean pollen out your nose.
- Use an air purifier in the house and shut windows.
If you have symptoms of allergies or suffer from allergies:
- Use an antihistamine such as loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) or Fexofenadine (Allegra) .
- Use an over-the-counter nasal decongestant.
- Use eye drops.
- If symptoms persist, get tested for allergies.
- If you have flu-like symptoms, see a doctor for a nasal culture to determine if you have the flu or allergies.
"We have certainly seen more patients with increased allergy symptoms — earlier than previous years," said Dr. Mercedes Pernice, an allergist with Southeastern Allergy and Asthma Specialists in Gainesville and Lake City.
Pernice said that in the past couple of weeks, people have come in with sneezing, running noses, itchy palettes, coughing and wheezing — symptoms that normally emerge in late February, with the arrival of spring.
But the 80-degree temperatures have sped up the allergy season, with the early blooming of trees and flowers. Since this coincides with the flu season, it's important to distinguish flu symptoms from allergies, Pernice said.
"Since December, we've had a lot of patients with asthma come in, and they thought it was allergies, and they really had the flu, even if they already had the vaccine."
Unlike allergies, the flu usually causes a high fever, chills and body aches, she added.
It is also important to distinguish people who suffer from allergies and those who are merely sensitive to the high pollen count in the air, Pernice said.
"When the pollen rises, it has an irritant effect in people with a lot of sensitivities to a lot of things."
Children especially might develop a rhinovirus, an infection in the nose that causes the common cold, said Dr. Shih-Wen Huang, a pediatric allergist at Shands at the University of Florida. Huang said children in day care or nursery schools are particularly prone to the 120 sub-strains of the virus, which are contagious.
"Transmission is very high and often comes when the cold season is not over yet and the warm weather arrives early," Huang said, adding that most people get some form of the virus since there are so many strains. So when the pollen count is high, they have symptoms such as a cough or a runny nose, he said.
You can treat the viruses the same way you treat an allergy, with good hygiene — hand washing and showers — by staying hydrated, and in some cases, using an antihistamine, Huang said.
Allergy sufferers additionally will have itchy eyes and sneezing spells that fluctuate with the pollen levels, and they should take even stricter hygiene measures, making sure they wash their hair daily and reduce outdoor activity, Huang said.
"The worst scenario is that the kids come straight home, go straight to their bedroom, lay on their bed and contaminate their whole bedroom. You have to educate their parents so that the kids come home and remove their clothes immediately and take a shower immediately and change clothes at least to minimize the problem."
Huang said the only reprieve from the high pollen count would be a rain to wash the pollen away. Rain is forecast for later this week and over the weekend.

The wisdom of Solomon was needed to resolve whether South Australian MP Bernard Finnigan should face trial on child pornography charges, a court has been told.
Finnigan is accused of five aggravated counts of taking steps to obtain child pornography and one aggravated count of obtaining child pornography.
It is alleged the offences occurred at his home in the Adelaide suburb of Sefton Park between August 2010 and April 2011.
Last month, the full court of the Supreme Court set aside a magistrate's order that the 39-year-old upper house MP face a District Court trial on the charges.
The three judges ordered the case be sent back to the magistrates court to be dealt with.
The case briefly returned to Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday when the MP's QC, Michael Abbott, spoke of the need to interpret the different findings of law made by the three judges.
When magistrate Simon Smart asked if any two findings could be reconciled, Mr Abbott replied: "Solomon could do it".
The defence arguments have previously included the interpretation of the laws relating to the age of the child in the image.
The prosecutor told the magistrate that statements were being sought from expert witnesses in relation to child pornography.
A hearing was set down for May 8.

Resident Fantasy Genius
Avoiding the Late-Season Ratio Trap
If your league's annual trade deadline hasn't already passed, it's likely that today or tomorrow will be the last day to make deals. The remainder of my leagues' deadlines will all pass within the next 48 hours, and I know that I'll be in contact with almost every owner in the league in that time (if I haven't already begun talks) to see what they're looking to acquire, what they're looking to deal, and how that fits with what I'm trying to do. Today, I wanted to pass along one piece of advice that might be useful to you in your own dealings: be very careful when trying to move the needle on your ratios.
With five of six months very nearly in the books, it will be incredibly difficult to budge most ratios more than a few points. Of course all situations are different and need to be evaluated independently, but this is a general rule that applies to nearly all fantasy teams at this time of year. As a result, while that deal you have on the table for Clayton Kershaw may seem really appealing, it's important to do your homework and make sure such an acquisition is truly going to have the desired effect.
Let's run some sample numbers to see what I'm talking about. At this point in the year, a typical fantasy staff might have logged 1000 innings with a 3.60 ERA and 1.23 WHIP (these are the averages from my only mixed league this year, which should be close enough for our purposes today; naturally, your mileage may vary). Now let's say we want to add Kershaw to the staff. To figure out his impact on the team's end-of-season ERA and WHIP, we'll add up three things:
1. The team's performance to date
2. Kershaw's rest of season projection
3. The assumption that the team will perform the same as it has been over the final month of the season, multiplied by eight-ninths, since we have to exclude the spot Kershaw will occupy*
*This is done for the sake of simplicity. Naturally, if you're running these calculations yourself, you'll want to factor in the projections for each individual player on your team.
In our hypothetical example, we can see just how little impact even an absolute stud like Kershaw will have on the team. He'll lower its ERA by just 0.03 points and its WHIP by 0.005 points. And if you think about, it makes sense: Kershaw's PECOTA-projected 49 innings over the rest of the season would make up just 4 percent of the team's end-of-season total. How much impact can we really expect that to have?
This isn't necessarily meant to discourage you from trading for Kershaw, just help you set realistic expectations. If ERA isn't going to be a photo finish, you may be better off trading for a player who can help in a category that will be close.
Knowing all this can open up some interesting strategic doors. If you find yourself in a comfortable enough position, knowing how little your ratios will budge at this point in the season could give you the flexibility to employ an "all crappy starter" strategy, or at least a watered-down version of such an approach. Obviously multiple pitchers with extreme (good or bad) ERAs and WHIPs will have a greater impact on your team's total than a single Kershaw, but if you have enough wiggle room, you might want to consider trading your top starters for offensive help and plugging in crappy starters to hold up your strikeouts and chase wins (yes, I'm okay breaking the "cardinal rule" of fantasy baseball by chasing wins—more about this on Monday). This is essentially what I've done in Tout Wars. There's no shame in rocking Fernando Abad and Casey Kelly as your third and fourth starters (okay, maybe a little). Just make sure you're running the numbers and know exactly what you're getting yourself into.
Happy Trading!

FIRE crews worked through the night to battle a blaze at a £1.4million house in Branksome Park.
Firefighters were called to the incident on Western Avenue at the large detached house at 2.30am.
At the peak of the fire nine crews were on the scene and the flames could be clearly seen lighting up the windows from the side of the road.
A spokesman for Dorset Fire Control said it was initially thought to be a garden fire.
He added: "On arrival the crew from Westbourne found a property to be well alight and eight further appliances were sent to the incident."
The roof of the property appeared to have been destroyed and the windows on the first floor smashed.
Speaking at the scene shortly after 9am, crew manager Jason Browne said the cause of the fire was unknown.
"Investigations will take place when it is deemed safe to enter the building," he added.
"Nobody was in the building at the time of the fire."
At 10am an aerial platform was used and firefighters utilised thermal imaging technology to locate and dampen down the remaining hot spots in the building.
A police officer stood guard at entrance of the house's driveway throughout the morning and a scientific investigation team was also present.
Property website Zoopla estimated the house to be worth £1.4million. In the last five years nine properties have been sold on the road for an average of £2.45million.
Chairman of Branksome Park Residents Association, John Sprackling, said he was relieved to hear nobody came to harm in the fire.
He added: "It was a relatively new property constructed in 2005. It is sad that a nice house like this built within the last 10 years has been destroyed."

Signifying its expansion outside of its New York, the Eastern Produce Council saw high attendance at its May 15 dinner meeting inside the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market.
The Short Hills, N.J.-based council chose the City of Brotherly Love to visit its year-old modern produce distribution terminal as well as benchmark the group's membership expansion into Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic, said council executive director John McAleavey.
"This is the first time in our 46 years of being an organization that we have had a meeting outside of the metropolitan New York area," McAleavey said. "People weren't leaving at the end, another good sign. People weren't running out the front door but were hanging around. Everyone liked it and wants to come back to Philadelphia again."
The 200 attendees also marked a record for the largest group hosted by the market, said Tad Thompson, the market's business development manager.
To accommodate such a large group, the market put up tents inside its quarter mile-long shopping concourse to host the cocktail hour and dinner and protect the crowd from 50-degree ambient temperatures in the cold-chain controlled facility.
Sonny DiCrecchio, the market's president and chief executive officer, welcomed participants and introduced speakers and guests. Council first vice president Paul Kneeland — vice president of produce, seafood and floral for Kings Super Markets Inc., Parsippany, N.J. — served as meeting moderator.
"We were thrilled that EPC's membership was so supportive of this event," DiCrecchio said in a news release. "It was phenomenal participation from those who live in the New York metropolitan area as well as down-state New Jersey. We hope to host the EPC again very soon."

Details of Merle Haggard and the Ticket Luck value
Merle Haggard is a famous country singer, fiddler, guitarist and songwriter. A Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, Haggard was instrumental in popularizing country music, especially the outlaw movement, of which he was an integral part. Along with Buck Owens' the Buckaroos, Haggard and his band can also be credited with bringing the Bakersfield sound to the mainstream. The country legend is currently touring all over the country, so buy Merle Haggard tickets now and mark the date on which he will be performing at a venue near you.
Merle Haggard began his music journey at the age of twelve. He practiced playing by listening to the records he had at home. Country greats like Hank Williams and Bob Wills heavily influenced this young budding artist.
Following a turbulent period in his life, Haggard decided to professionally pursue music after watching Johnny Cash perform live. Haggard released his first major hit in 1964, with Sing a Sad Song. He followed up with his first top ten single (My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers. The following year Haggard's rise to country stardom was complete, with the release of his first number one song, I'm a Lonesome Fugitive.
Haggard slowly started becoming associated with the outlaw movement in the 70's, as his songs became more politically charged. He was recognized as the champion for the working class, with whom his music struck a particular chord. Some of Haggard's most famous anthems from the time include The Fightin' Side of Me, I Wonder If They Think of Me and Okie from Muskogee. Along with his consistent ability to produce hit after hit, Merle Haggard became one of the most recognizable faces in country music. Such was Haggard's popularity at that time that he was featured on the cover of TIME magazine in May 1974.
Nicknamed "The Hag" by his adoring fans, Haggard continued to dominate the country charts up till the late 80's. He was able to produce a remarkable thirty eight number one singles on the country charts between 1967 and 1988. In a career spanning almost fifty years Haggard has won thirteen Academy of Country Music Awards, six Country Music Association Awards and three Grammy Awards. For his contribution to country music, Haggard was inducted to the "Nashville Writers Hall of Fame" in 1977 and the "Country Music Hall of Fame" in 1994. In 2010, he was honored with the "Kennedy Center Honors" by President Barack Obama.
Having been a performer for almost half a century, The Hag continues to inspire new musicians and aspiring artists. Young stars like Toby Keith have cited Haggard as a major influence on their careers, and his innovative Bakersfield sound, contributed to redefining country music. To catch the legendary artist live in concert, buy Merle Haggard tickets now.

Consumer desire for natural food and drink products shows little sign of slowing, according to market researcher RTS.
High profile food scares, increasing retailer power and the need for consumer reassurance are all combining to create significant opportunities for natural ingredients, RTS said. The global market for natural ingredients in food and drink has grown by $3.6 billion over the past five years and is now worth $12.9 billion. Incredibly, natural ingredients now account for almost one third of the total $39 billion global food and drink ingredients market. While seasonings and flavors are the largest markets, it is natural flavors (8.7% per year), natural colors (11.3%) and coloring foodstuffs (13.6%) that have seen dramatic growth.
"There is considerable interest in natural ingredients. It is one of the fastest growth markets of the whole food and drink industry," said Jamie Rice, RTS research director. "Coloring foodstuffs and natural colors have benefited from the natural trend and despite issues of sustainability and an increasingly fragmented market, we expect to see growth in naturals continue."

Oh, Go Ahead... Enjoy Chocolate This Valentine's Day!
February 14, 2011 - Elissa Goodman
Chocolate was once considered a wicked, guilty pleasure - remember "Death by Chocolate"? But today, chocolate - particularly the darkest types with sky-high cocoa percentages - is beginning to seem more like a health food (high flavanol cocao on aisle 3!). Eating a little bit of chocolate a few times a week can be not only good for the heart but your soul too. The trick is to make the most of that little bit of chocolate, while dialing down the fatty, sugary ingredients chocolate so often it keeps company with.

STEVE Davies, a 40-year-old builder and stone mason from New Radnor, is taking on an epic journey of 960 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End on his old faithful Honda C90 motorcycle, affectionately called 'the love machine' by Steve and his family.
Steve hopes to raise money for the children's ward at Hereford County Hospital because of the help and support given on the ward to members of his family and his friends. His two children Ben (17) and Erin (7) plus his stepson Will (16) have all spent time in the children's ward. Steve said "I wanted to do something to say thank you, so all the money I raise from sponsorship during my journey will go there. The journey will start from John O' Groats on June 30 and will roughly take five days of blood, sweat and gears."
Steve will be keeping to a speed limit of around 35mph for eight hours per day, travelling on the back roads of Scotland, Wales and England avoiding as many A roads as possible. If you would like to sponsor Steve or would like further information about his challenge, contact him on 07825 703167.

WASHINGTON: In an abrupt U-turn, the US President, Barack Obama, will hand over to Congress classified documents outlining the legal justification for drone strikes which kill US citizens abroad who are conspiring with al-Qaeda.
An administration official disclosed the move before a Senate hearing on Mr Obama's nomination of his top White House anti-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, to lead the Central Intelligence Agency.
Senators had warned Mr Brennan's confirmation could be in doubt if the administration did not share more information on the legal and constitutional grounding for the US government killing its own citizens.
However, the administration and Saudi Arabia were silent over reports the CIA is secretly using an air base in Saudi Arabia to conduct its assassination campaign in Yemen.
The reports revealed the drones that killed the US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and his son in 2011, and Said al-Shehri, a senior al-Qaeda commander who died from his injuries last month, were launched from the unnamed base.
The revelation is an embarrassment to the White House, which pressured The Washington Post and other news groups to suppress the information on national security grounds. The killings of Awlaki and his son contributed to demands in Congress for greater transparency by the White House over drone attacks on US citizens.
Mr Obama's aides insist killing al-Qaeda suspects, some of them US citizens, in such places as Pakistan or Yemen complies with US law and the constitution, even when no intelligence links the targets to specific attack plots.
Mr Brennan had to withdraw from contention as CIA director four years ago over his role in justifying CIA abductions and torture at secret foreign sites under president George Bush.
It is now his job from his office in the basement of the White House to draw up lists of suspected terrorists for assassination by drone. They are signed off by Mr Obama on what have become known as ''kill-list Tuesdays''.
In the past four years, the Obama administration has conducted six times as many drone strikes in Pakistan as George Bush did in the previous four years, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a non-profit news group in London.
As many as 3461 people, including up to 891 civilians, have been killed in 362 CIA strikes in Pakistan since 2004, the group says.
Senators are likely to want to know where Mr Brennan will take the strategy as head of the CIA. The agency's use of drones has come under challenge as a breach of international law because the agency is not a recognised military force.
Saudi Arabia has previously publicly denied co-operating with the US to target al-Qaeda in Yemen. The drone issue is sensitive in Saudi Arabia because of the unpopularity of US military bases.

(written from a Production point of view)
"In Thy Image" was a 1977 script for the pilot Star Trek: Phase II episode, written by Harold Livingston. It was based on a story treatment by Alan Dean Foster, although the treatment itself was based on a story idea by Gene Roddenberry entitled "Robot's Return". (Star Trek Monthly issue 26, p. 25)
The basic plot concept of "In Thy Image" was that a huge unknown object crossed the universe, looking for its creator on Earth. In the meantime, the USS Enterprise has been extensively refitted and is waiting re-launch under the command of Captain Wah Chan, with James T. Kirk awaiting promotion to admiral. However, the alien spaceship destroys three Klingon battleships, and is found to be on a direct course for Earth. With the Enterprise being the only starship that might be able to destroy the alien ship (if it were required) and Wah Chan stuck on the other side of the Federation, Kirk is given command of the ship for what he assumes will be one final mission. He finds some familiar faces on board, namely Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura, and three new ones in the shape of Willard Decker, Ilia and the new science officer, Ronak. However, Ronak dies when the transporter malfunctions and explodes as he is being beamed aboard the ship, requiring his late replacement by Xon, a Vulcan who is incredibly gifted academically, but has little experience of active duty.
Shortly after the Enterprise deploys, the USS Aslan, which has been monitoring the alien ship, is suddenly destroyed without provocation, increasing the urgency of the mission. Soon, the Enterprise confronts the alien ship and, after convincing it that they have friendly intentions, manage to gain access to the alien ship, where they are met by a spider-like robot that calls itself "Tasha," who reveals its master to be named "Veejur" and that it has been sent by "The Wan" (it is never explained exactly who or what the Wan are) to find whoever created Veejur. On the journey to Earth, Ilia is abducted and replaced by a lifelike android, so that Veejur may better understand humanoid life. Upon arriving at the planet, Veejur emits an energy field that burns out all of the planetary defense systems, and prepares to eradicate all life on the planet so that it can examine the planet better. Kirk, accompanied by Xon, Decker, the robot Ilia, and Tasha, manages to infiltrate the core of the ship, where it is revealed that "Veejur" is in fact Voyager XVIII; the final space probe launched by Earth before World War III, it was intended as a record of Earth civilization, in case the Human race were to be wiped out completely. However, Voyager/Veejur does not believe that such a warlike and destructive race could have created it, and intends to wipe out the Human elements on Earth to find whoever it thinks is its true creator.
Kirk tells the probe that Humanity is in fact its creator, and proves it by fixing a part of the probe that had been deliberately damaged, so that only the true creator would be able to prove itself. Voyager/Veejur accepts this, but tells Kirk that it no longer serves Humanity; it will continue its mission of exploration, but for its own sake rather than as part of its mission, although it may return some day. With that, Kirk, Xon, and Decker are beamed back onto the Enterprise, as is the real Ilia, and the alien ship departs. Kirk is congratulated by his superiors on the mission's success, and he asks if there is any way he can retain command. Starfleet Command agrees, but tells him that it will cost him his promotion and that he will probably remain a captain for the rest of his career if he turns down the chance to become an admiral. This is a price that Kirk is all too happy to pay, however, and the five-year mission of the Enterprise is begun anew.
Another story element featured was the Enterprise being reconstructed and relaunched, which had been included in earlier premises for unproduced Star Trek films such as Planet of the Titans and The God Thing, the latter of which served as a precursor to this one, with multiple similarities between them (despite technically being different projects). "In Thy Image" was rewritten to become the screenplay for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Differences from the filmEdit
- V'ger (or "Veejur" as it is spelled in the script) does not digitize and absorb the Klingon vessels, instead it simply destroys them. Gene Roddenberry's novelization of the first Star Trek movie contains a third variation on "the Intruder's" name, spelling it "Vejur" from page 179 onwards in the novel's first paperback edition.
- Admiral Nogura is actually seen in the episode, both in discussion with Kirk at the start and in charge at Starfleet Command during the episode's climax.
- The Enterprise is mentioned as being the only Starfleet vessel in range in The Motion Picture, whereas "In Thy Image" has many more Starfleet vessels in the area (including the ill-fated Aslan), with the Enterprise being deployed instead as Starfleet's most powerful vessel.
- While Kirk forces Starfleet to give him command of the Enterprise in the film, and his obsession with the ship marks a major plot point in the film, the episode has him much more accepting of Wah Chan's imminent assuming of the vessel's command. Kirk in fact suggests several other candidates to command the Enterprise after it becomes clear that Wah Chan cannot make it to Earth in time for the launch, and only puts himself forward after exhausting the other candidates.
- Decker is executive officer from the start, and aside from a brief moment after Ilia's kidnapping, is never antagonistic towards Kirk.
- Commander Ronak is virtually the same as Sonak from the film, and his manner of death is very similar (albeit considerably less gruesome). Stangely, Ronak is never mentioned again after his death and the crew does not seem affected by his loss, whereas in the film Sonak's death visibly affects Kirk for some time afterward.
- The USS Aslan largely replaces Epsilon IX in the storyline and meets the same fate, although the script implied that it would not be shown on-screen.
- The character of Tasha is completely unique to the episode, and has no analogue in the film.
- Ilia is held in suspended animation in order to provide a physical and mental basis for the android, but is not absorbed as she is in the film, and is returned unharmed at the end of the episode.
- V'ger/Veejur's true identity is given as Voyager VI in the film, and Voyager XVIII in the episode. The details relating to World War III are also unique to the episode.
- While the version of V'ger in the film did not recognize humanoids (or "carbon units" as it called them) as true lifeforms, the episode's version was aware that Humanity was a distinct species, and had knowledge which suggested they were the creators; it simply didn't believe the data to be true.
- The internal damage to the Voyager VI probe in the film is done in the presence of Kirk and his crew, so as to force one of them to key in the key sequence. The episode features the damage having already been done a long time ago, as an identity test for the creator when they eventually arrived.
- V'ger/Veejur does not evolve into a new lifeform at the end of the episode, and as a result Decker and Ilia are returned to the Enterprise intact.

CLASSIC records will be spun in memory of one of a popular businessman.
The Terry Thompson Memorial Disco at the Pavilion in the Park, Cripplegate Park, Worcester, will honour the colourful character on Saturday (April 5) with the best in Motown, Northern Soul and classic soul.
Mr Thompson died on Christmas Day last year in St Richard's Hospice, Worcester, aged 64, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months previously.
DJs Ian Perks, Steve Descher and Pete Treadwell have offered their time for free and all proceeds will go to St Richard's Hospice, Mr Thompson's family hoping to raise about £1,000.
Sarah Thompson said: "It would be nice if we could sell all 400 tickets and nice if we could raise at least £1,000. Anything over that would be a bonus.
"The care they gave my father-in-law was just amazing and the care they gave the family, too."
Mr Thompson set up a chain of Housewives Choice shops in 1981 and went on to launch the Bowl Extreme venture in Perdiswell, as well as the family taking over the Pavilion in the Park.
He reopened Browns restaurant in Quary Street, under the name Browns Wine Bar, with his business partner Brian Hulme in 2012.
Tickets are £5 in advance or £6 on the door and the night runs from 8pm to 1.30pm.
For more information and tickets, call the Pavilion on 01905 429800.

"Great design with a tint of nostalgia. WPD designers are easy to work with - incorporated more wording on the back of the card at my request. Customer service was also top notch. My cards were delayed - WPD happily sent me another batch for next day delivery. Would definitely recommend this design and WPD in general to friends."
"I was so afraid to order my shipment without seeing the exact card proof but I love them! I had ordered the LINEN background because others had recommended it, and instead of the textured I ordered the PEARL WHITE SHIMMER for a more modern look. I couldn't be happier with them. It looks like, from other reviewers, you really have to change the background to linen if you want the shimmer. I hadn't liked the roughness of the original sample. The red is a bit on the pink side but not too much. The designers were able to put the little Ganesh in the top circle for me which I was very impressed with! I definitely recommend!"
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"Ordering my invitations from Wedding Paper Divas was overall one of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had, and I shop online all the time. I actually ordered 2 different designs for the 2 different wedding celebrations we're having. Both sets required some editing of the standard design, and the process of making all desired changes was quick, seamless, easy. Everything arrived when expected, as expected. Excellent quality. I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone!"

Security Council: Statement by Ambassador Thoms at the Debate on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA)
(as delivered:)
"Thank you, Mr. President,
First of all let me express my deepest condolences over the tragic loss of life of six US soldiers in Afghanistan today.
I thank Special Representative Jan Kubis for his briefing today and for his dedicated work in support of the Afghan people.
Germany aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the European Union later in this debate.
Mr. President,
Despite many challenges Afghanistan has come a long way in its security, political and economic transition processes. The Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police have proven to be increasingly capable of mastering the enormous task of providing a secure environment.
This development was guided and supported by the framework set-up in Bonn, Chicago and Tokyo by the Government of Afghanistan and the international community. It is indispensable that all mutually agreed commitments be fully implemented. As for the ongoing substantial international commitment in Afghanistan, the message of all those conferences and of the GA resolution on Afghanistan is clear: the international community continues its support.
2014 will be marked by decisive events such as the presidential elections in April and the withdrawal of "ISAF" combat troops at the end the year.
As an international community, we need to lay the foundations for the post-ISAF era. Let me stress that Germany stands ready to remain engaged in Afghanistan also with regard to supporting the Afghan security forces. The most important precondition for this is the signing of the bilateral Security Agreement between Afghanistan and the United States. Without this signature, the continued presence of the whole international community, military as well as civilian, is put into question. The recommendation of the Loya Jirga to sign the security agreement is an encouraging signal. Consequently, the signature of the agreement should not be put off for too long.
In the ongoing political transition and transformation process, UNAMA, with the consent of the Afghan Government, needs to remain the backbone of international engagement and the post-2014 architecture in Afghanistan. This will require focusing UNAMA's work on key areas in which its coordinating and supporting role will remain indispensable:
First: The continued implementation of the Tokyo Framework Agreement to ensure coherence and sustainability in Afghanistan's development.
Second: While we appreciate progress made by Afghanistan in the preparation of the upcoming elections, UNAMA's good offices will remain necessary to ensure the transparency and inclusivity of political processes in the future.
Third: UNAMA also has a role to play in supporting the Afghan Government to advance in the Afghan-led and -owned process of peace and reconciliation. UNAMA should also closely accompany Afghan efforts to increase cooperation with neighbouring and regional partners, especially within the framework of the Istanbul Process.
Fourth: In light of continuing violations of human rights, including a reported increase of cases of violence against women, UNAMA will need to continue its monitoring and supporting role. We call upon the Government to prioritize the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without any discrimination. Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission remains the key partner for such efforts.
Mr. President,
To carry out these challenging tasks, UNAMA will need to be adequately financed and staffed. This also includes UNAMA's necessary presence in the field throughout the country.
I would like to conclude by underlining that Germany will continue to support the Government of Afghanistan through the transition period and beyond. We are confident that the Afghan government will use the remaining months of its tenure to further work on fulfilling the preconditions of a sustained international engagement in Afghanistan for the benefit of the Afghan people.
Thank you, Mr. President."

Lake Fork Toyota ShareLunker 489 Makes Big Bass Top 50 List
Catch qualifies angler for $11,550 in cash and prizes
ATHENS — James Quisenberry moved to the Lake Fork area in hopes of catching the bass of a lifetime.
That dream came true March 22 when he caught a 15.61-pound largemouth from Lake Fork, but when he weighed the fish at Lake Fork Marina, an official ShareLunker weigh and holding station, he got even better news.
The bass ties for the number 33 spot on the list of top 50 biggest largemouth bass caught in Texas, which qualifies Quisenberry for $10,000 in cash from the Lake Fork Area Chamber of Commerce's Lake Fork Bounty Bonanza tournament. Added to that will be $500 for catching a bass weighing 13 pounds or more, likely another $300 for the biggest bass weighed in during the month, $250 in tackle from Berkley and $500 in tackle from Lake Fork Marina.
Quisenberry caught the fish in 10 feet of water while fishing with a waterdog. The fish was 23.25 inches in girth and 25.25 inches long.
The fish is the biggest ShareLunker to come from Lake Fork since 2002.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see http://tamus.pr-optout.com/Url.aspx?513992x774680x-46784. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers, is posted on www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

I was handed a "precompiled" asp.net app source code. OK, how do I make this such that I can use and debug it? How do I compile a precompiled app?
After I click past this window, and i try to build the application, I get an error that says "This application is already precompiled".
What can I do?
What exactly are you trying to do? Just debug the application? You can host it in IIS on your machine and attach your debugger to that process to debug it. But you not going to be able to fix any problems. Your best bet is to get the full source code or you will have to try and reverse engineer the dll. To do that, you can try any of these two:
I have only used .net reflector in the past when it was still free. So I am not sure how well the other works, but Telerik usually build quality tools, so I am sure it will be just as good.
Good luck
There is also [ilspy and [url=http://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/]JetBrains dotPeek](http://ilspy.net), both of which I use extensively at work.
Microsoft works on dll and exe files these files are compiled and ready to use with desired application or platform. If any software decompile then Microsoft Software Integrity is failed. any one can decompile application and services developed in Microsoft IDE. So it is not Possible.
It is possible to reverse engineer a dll and an exe. It gets more tricky if the developer obscured his code, but there are always ways around these things. That is why there is so much cracked games out on the market. Somebody reverse engineered them into assembly and patched it.
So if you want to safe guard you code from being decompiled, you will need to take some extra steps so it is not just as simple and 1 application. But most do not for web applications, as the dll is on a server which has it's own security and not distributed.
Then what about the security issues. Any body can hack the program and retrieve the important and confidential data. By this we don't have to use .net.

The new austerity means the horsepower wars of the '90s are over. Instead of pumping up displacements, automakers are looking for ways to generate power efficiently. For the 7 series in 2011, BMW took the relatively easy step of installing an engine previously used in the 335i and 535i. Being BMW's flagship sedan, this new model steps up to a 740i nameplate.
As for body, suspension, and cabin tech, the car is nearly identical to its heftier siblings, the 750i and the 760i. The car features the same sophisticated, European design, with a gracefully curved roof and longish nose. Of course, the grille features the traditional BMW design, while the headlight casings integrate LED turn signals.
The cabin of the 2011 BMW 740i, a large sedan, is easy to get into, while the trunk affords plenty of cargo room. Optional multicontour seats offer power-adjustable bolsters, lumbar support, headrests, and just about every other means of shaping the seat to your body. The comfortable rear bench has its own set of dual-zone climate controls. This car represents BMW luxury.
Pricey options
Standard in this $70,000 car is a hard-drive-based navigation system, complete with 3D maps and traffic, and a sophisticated Bluetooth phone system. But that is about as far as BMW is willing to go with freebies--even iPod integration is optional in the 740i.
Particularly amusing was the $650 ceramic button option included in the car delivered to CNET. BMW is apparently willing to let people buy a 7-series with ugly plastic buttons, which could impact people's perception of the brand's luxury and quality.
The navigation system is a treat to use, as it shows rich 3D detail for major urban areas, complete with rendered buildings on a wide, 10.2-inch screen. Using route guidance in a city, the system helpfully makes buildings in front of a turn transparent. In addition to the route outlined on the map, BMW puts turn directions on the instrument cluster, a new black panel that hides all indicator lights until they are in use.
More difficult to use are some of BMW's destination input screens, which rely on setting filters to find results. For example, when browsing the POI database for Chinese restaurants, you first have to enter Restaurants as a category, then Chinese as a subcategory. And the system doesn't make it very clear what you are supposed to do at each step. This interface could definitely be improved.
BMW's traffic reporting is quite good, and the car will dynamically look for routes around particularly bad traffic. On the map, specific incidents are shown as diamond-shaped icons, but the traffic flow is represented as a series of gray arrows. The red, yellow, and green road highlights used by competitors make for a much more intuitive representation.
Also accessible through either the iDrive onscreen interface or voice command is the standard Bluetooth phone system, which helpfully downloads a paired phone's contact list. Drivers can use the voice command system to dial a contact by name, or look one up on the screen. The iDrive knob makes it quick and easy to scroll through a contact list, and the voice command proved very accurate.
The audio quality of phone calls is excellent, aided by the standard 10-speaker stereo system. BMW offers a premium stereo upgrade for the 740i, but the base system does a very nice job of reproducing music. It is very balanced across audio frequencies, delivering highs, mids, and bass in equal detail. When we listened to tracks that emphasized a female vocalist, the system did an excellent job of making the background instrumentation pleasantly audible. Bass is not earthshaking with this system, but is very listenable.
Audio sources in CNET's review car were limited, mostly by BMW's option list. Standard sources are the onboard hard drive, CD player, HD Radio, and a USB port inconveniently placed in the glovebox, far away from the driver. BMW does not do Bluetooth streaming audio yet, and the car we tested lacked the optional iPod integration or satellite radio. CDs rip quickly and easily to the hard drive, and are easy to find in the music library interface. HD Radio is a nice treat, with very clear sound.
BMW offers an impressive set of optional driver assistance features for the 740i, although not all were present on our review car. Night vision turns the main LCD into an enhanced view of the road ahead, letting you see things you would miss with the naked eye. Blind-spot detection warns of cars in the lanes next to the 740i, and the lane departure warning vibrates the wheel slightly if the car drifts across lane lines.
