text: Amazingly 'Jubilee Day' is only just over six weeks away and whilst many of you are already well on the way to planning your street parties, some of you maybe at a slight loose end over the bank holiday weekend. LoveClapham was perusing the web in search exciting ideas to make our own party go off with a bang, when we came across The Big Lunch – so thought we'd share. It's a very simple idea generated from the Eden Project, encouraging as many people as possible across the UK to have lunch, 'fun and games' with their neighbours. This can be anything from a small BBQ and a few quiet drinks in the garden to a full blown street party extravaganza! With support from TV and radio celebrities, people all over the country have really taken to the idea planning all sorts of exciting events, taking inspiration from previous Big Lunches. Over 10 MILLION people came out to celebrate the Silver Jubilee in 1977 so The Big Lunch are encouraging people to get in the patriotic spirit and get as many people out again this summer. Clappers – we know you love a good street party so why not have a think about requesting their free guide! Happy luncheon-ing!

Sherman family matriarch celebrates 90th birthday
June 12, 2012
Gardnerville resident Norma Sherman credits her longevity to good genes.
The matriarch of the Sherman family is celebrating her 90th birthday Saturday at Topaz Lodge.
"I must have good genes. I had a grandmother who lived to be 98," she said. "I'm very excited about having my family around."
Sherman was born June 18, 1922, in Colorado Springs, Colo.
As a young girl, Sherman remembers listening to the swing band music of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller.
"It was danceable music," she said. "We learned to dance in school and you got to hang on to a boy."

Following high school graduation she moved to California and became one of the "Rosie the Riveters," working on Lockheed P-38s and Boeing B-17s.
"I was very young," she said. "I was just having a good time."
In 1946, Sherman married her husband of 43 years Dale, and they raised two sons Dennis and Bill.
During her career Sherman worked as a bookkeeper in California and Washington until she was 89 years old.
In 2003, four years after the death of her husband, Sherman moved to Gardnerville to be closer to family.
She spends her time beading jewelry, doing puzzles and reading.
"I love to read mysteries," she said. "My mother started taking me to the library when I was 4 years old."
Sherman has five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews who will be celebrating with her Saturday.
"I hope I've done a good job," she said of her life. "I'd like to be remembered as a good person."

Commodities in asset management
The investment in commodities is starting to be more important during the last years. The paper describes the characteristics of financially important commodities. In many cases a passive investment in an index is most suitable. As the GSCI is found to be the most important, its underlying futures are analyzed. The change of risk-return relationships in equity and bond portfolios including commodities is discussed. The paper shows that the effects differ substantially during different holding periods. Especially during times of high inflation and strong equity markets, commodities were a sensible addition. Still, the total performance from 1976 to 2006 was not convincing. This paper reveals that the performance does not mainly depend on the spot return but more on roll and collateral return.

Hi there, My postrges 6.1 database has been working fine for a while now. However, at some point I tried upgrading to 6.4, but failed in loading all my records in the tables. So I reverted back to the older version. Now postgres 6.1 works again, but it runs slower and recently I've been getting this error. date: can't load library 'libc.so.5' date: can't map 'libc.so.5' I chekced the lib and it's accessable and it exists. But what's strange is that the db still makes selects and inserts, and runs like normal. Except for that error and it runs a little slower.

Tame Impala At The Riviera Theatre
Welcome to The Set List. Here you'll find the latest concert recaps for many of your favorite, or maybe not so favorite, artists. Our bloggers will do their best to provide you with every detail of the show, from which songs were on the set list to what the artist was wearing to which out-of-control fan made a scene. Hey, it'll be like you were there. And if you like what you read, we'll even let you know where you can catch the artist on tour. Feel free to drop us a comment and let us know your concert experience. Oh, and rock on.
By Jenna Goode
Tame Impala kicked off their set at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 in the ornate Riviera Theatre in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. The crowd cheered as the Australian band slowly took the stage and picked up their instruments. Looking only at his bare feet, the introverted frontman/guitarist Kevin Parker played the opening riffs of "Endors Toi" to get the show started.
The music bounced off the theater's high-arched ceiling, which created an even more dramatic effect on Tame Impala's psychedelic sounds. "Groove and emotion go together," said Parker before the show. This statement rang true as the band continued the set with "Alter Ego," from their 2010 album Innerspeaker, which brought the first big improvisational jam of the evening and urged the crowd to scream for more.
Parker said few words during the set, except to express his appreciation to the audience or shout out song names. When he introduced "Half Full Glass Of Wine" the audience roared in approval. The song's bass line vibrated through the theater while Technicolor scribbles danced behind the band. Parker's solo during this song, although the slowest, was the most memorable. The scribbles dissolved into an image of the Milky Way where Parker appeared, playing his guitar. The celestial background added to the beauty of the solo.
"Elephant" was the song that garnered the most audience participation as they sang in unison, dancing and throwing their hands in the air. It was as if there was a collective agreement among the crowd to give up all pretensions about being too cool to dance at a concert.
Parker did take some time between songs to demonstrate how the stage lights were directly connected to the types of sounds he made on his guitar. For example, scratchy, wobbly sounds made shaky-looking shapes. Although the lighting was not necessary to make their set spectacular, it greatly enhanced the vibe.
For the encore, they came back strong with "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards," a psychedelic track from 2012's Lonerism. The vocal layering in the song sounded amazing with the echoes of the theater, and somehow added to the lonely quality of the song. The group closed the evening with "Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control," which highlighted each musician's talent. Even after the band left the stage the audience cheered for more. The fans may have not left on a tame note, but it certainly was a high one.
Set List:
"Edors Toi"
"Solitude Is Bliss"
"Alter Ego"
"Music To Walk Home By"
"Why Won't They Talk To Me?"
"Desire Be Desire Go"
"Half Full Glass Of Wine"
"Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind?"
"Be Above It"
"Mind Mischief"
"Apocalypse Dreams"
"Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"
"Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control"

Redknapp eyes tight defence
Harry Redknapp may be renowned for cavalier football but it seems QPR will have to get used to a more defensive style for the rest of the season.
• Blog: Remy a sign of hope
• Redknapp: Money not factor
Redknapp insists that it would be counter-productive to change from the cautious approach that has brought four points from their last two league games and put them into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Having been embarrassed 3-0 with a more open style against Liverpool on December 30, Redknapp made the decision to rein things in for the next game against Chelsea. The defensive gameplan, however, brought their first away win in over a year before they followed up with a second, against West Brom in the cup.
As it stands, QPR are unbeaten in 2013. What's more, Redknapp believes the signing of Loic Remy will actually make that approach even more productive.
"The players have got a bit of belief in the way we've played: clean sheets and take the chances when they come. So, to open up suddenly and go, 'we're going back to this again', to open up when we hadn't won away from home for over a year til we won at Chelsea, and then we win at Chelsea and win at West Brom, to suddenly go, 'no, we're going to play like we used to play and we're going to beat every week', it would be difficult now. The system we play, we've got more of a threat now with Remy so there we go.
"That's where we've missed Andy Johnson this year, someone who's willing to run that way. We could only come towards the ball really. He [Remy] will give us something going the other way.
"I like his movement, his pace, he's quick, he can score, he'll be a threat but his movement I think is excellent. He's a fantastic runner, off the ball, coming, spinning, getting in behind people. He gives you a threat in behind people which we haven't had."

- European Grand Prix - FP2
Too early to judge pace - Vettel
- Race:
- European Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Sebastian Vettel
- Teams:
- Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel says it is too early to gauge the success of Red Bull's updates to the RB8 this weekend, despite setting the fastest time in Friday practice at the European Grand Prix.
Vettel's 1:39.335 was 0.131s faster than Nico Hulkenberg's Force India in second place, but he said Friday's practice sessions were not necessarily a good indication of how the drivers will stack up in qualifying.
"We have some new bits but I think the lap times are not allowing us to have a fair conclusion yet," he said. "For us it was more important to have a clear practice and a clean day for us and I'm quite happy with what we did. The conditions might change quite a bit before Sunday again as it was surprisingly cool today and I think Sunday could be quite a bit hotter. For now I think we've collected some quite good data and we'll see whether we can be competitive."
Vettel has won from pole at Valencia for the last two years, but he said he is expecting a closer fight this year and that strategy for the race is still uncertain.
"I think on Saturday everyone is looking to put the car as high up as possible and ideally on pole and on Sunday, obviously, you want to win the race," he added. "It's really straightforward but it's very close these days and we've seen what can happen with different strategies. It's not entirely clear yet what is the right strategy for Sunday so if we make another step tomorrow and see where we are in terms of pace and competitiveness. We will then be able to make a decision from where we are on Sunday and with the data we will have collected by then."

BOSTON (Jan. 15)
George Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi party, was taken into protective custody by Boston police today after he was stoned by a crowd estimated at 1,500 persons, when he and his "storm troopers" sought to picket the premiere of the motion picture "Exodus" at the Saxon Theater here.
Police Lieutenant John Slattery said that despite the presence of 100 police, including mounted officers, when Rockwell appeared with swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans, the crowd surged forward throwing rocks and eggs. Police intervened to save Rockwell from the crowd and formed a protective shield around him in an alley adjacent to the theater.
Witnesses reported that had police not intervened, Rockwell would have suffered serious injuries at the hands of the irate crowd. Rockwell told police that he came to Boston and would visit other cities to prove that his Nazi movement was national in scope.

In a surprising move, anthropologist Richard Leakey has left his current post as director of the Kenyan Wildlife Service (KWS), to become head of the civil service, the highest nonpolitical job in the Kenyan administration.
Leakey has been an outspoken critic of Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, who ousted him from his post at KWS in 1994 and hired him back 4 years later (ScienceNOW, 28 September 1998). But today, Moi said that Leakey has his "complete and undivided support" in the new position. Moi expects Leakey to "change the culture of corruption and inefficiency in our public service." Leakey told ScienceNOW that his new job is "apolitical," but he said he plans to push for "policies rooted in conservation" across the government.
A mismanaged government and widespread corruption have been the major stumbling blocks in saving Kenya's famed wildlife, says Agi Kiss, principal ecologist at the World Bank's Africa Environment Group. Although she considers the country's outlook still gloomy, Leakey's appointment "is the first thing I've gotten excited about in quite some time."
But skeptics say the appointment may be little more than a strategic move by Moi to shore up his power or improve his government's tarnished image to the outside world. Leakey's promotion, says conservation biologist David Woodruff of the University of California, San Diego, "has little to do with wildlife conservation or natural resource stewardship for the people of Kenya and everything to do with national politics and power."
Leakey says his successor at KWS will be announced next week.

Insider: Gutschewski's home game not a stay-cationA second-place finish at the Utah Championship has Scott Gutschewski on the road back to the PGA TOUR.August 01, 2012
John Dell, PGATOUR.COM Correspondent
Scott Gutschewski didn't always look at the big picture back when he was starting out as a professional golfer. Nowadays, he can look at the long and winding road of the season and exhale from time to time.
That outlook has helped him in his career on the Web.com Tour and the PGA TOUR since 1999.
"Yeah, I've been at this about 13 years now," said Gutschewski, 35, who is very much looking forward to this week's Web.com Tour's Cox Classic presented by Lexus of Omaha.
This week's Web.com Tour stop is a home game for the Omaha native, who along with his wife and three kids, have recently moved back to Omaha from Dallas, Texas.
"We've been talking about it awhile and decided to pull the trigger and do it," Gutschewski said about moving back to Nebraska. "We've moved a bunch of stuff and now we hope our house sells in Texas."
Gutschewski comes into this week's tournament playing some of his best golf of the season, and it comes at a good time. He is 21st on the Web.com Tour money list after two top-five finishes in his last five starts, including a tie for second at the Utah Championship.
On Sunday he wound up tied for 14th at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational in Columbus, Ohio. His finish pushed him up from 29th on the money list.
"I have to be honest, I don't look all that often at where I stand on the list," Gutschewski said.
Gutschewski is very familiar with both the PGA TOUR and the Web.com Tour, where he has combined to win $2.5 million in his career. He's won twice on the Web.com Tour in his career.
"I've been getting the ball in the fairway a little more," Gutschewski said about this season. "I don't feel like I've been playing bad at all except for maybe a bad hole here and there. I haven't been able to put it together for four days, but I'm getting closer."
Last season, Gutschewski made a late run to secure his PGA TOUR card but couldn't get there. He played in 23 tournaments and made 12 cuts but wound up 189th on the FedEx Cup points list and 183rd on the money list.
He made some changes in the offseason and says they have started to pay off.
Inside THE 25 1 Casey Wittenberg $288,083 2 Paul Haley II $245,898 3 Luke List $243,246 4 Andres Gonzales $224,365 5 Lee Williams $196,180 21 Scott Gutschewski $108,459
"I just missed the (FedEx Cup) playoffs last year and I started to work with Chris O'Connell, and he's helped me a lot and showed me a lot of good things," Gutschewski said. "There were some things I needed to work on and just here in the last two months I've started working with Mike Bury a little bit and that's helped."
Bury's advice has been about making better use of his practice time.
As Gutschewski heads into this week's tournament he's excited because he gets to play in front of his family and friends but he's also excited about where his game is right now.
"The course is probably 15 minutes from my parents' house," Gutschewski said. "My in-laws are members there at Champions Run as well."
The Web.com Tour is embarking on a stretch of 12 tournaments in the next 13 weeks, but Gutschewski said he doubts he'll play them all. He says what's best for him is taking a week off here and there to recharge his batteries.
"I won't play them all," Gutschewski said. "It would be really tough to do that and I'm sure some guys will do it because they feel like they have to. But I would probably take a week off at some point. I'd rather have a really good week as oppose to playing all those weeks in a row."
Maybe in his younger days he would try and play all of the tournaments in a row but because he's been around for awhile he knows it's a long season.
"Just the fact that I've done it before there's no need to panic," Gutschewski said. "It's a long year and it seems like it goes quick. Hitting one bad shot or having one bad week isn't the end of the world. You have to just move on and keep doing your best."
Heading into this season, Gutschewski had played exactly 111 tournaments each on the Web.com Tour and the PGA TOUR. During his time on the Web.com Tour he's been amazed at how competitive it has become.
"It's tough and it's so competitive and we have so many reshuffles that you have to keep playing well or you are left behind," Gutschewski said. "There's a lot of pressure out here and guys are fighting to make a living so of course you feel it. I guess maybe because I've been through it so many times I don't feel it as much but there's pressure and everybody feels it."
That pressure won't be as severe this week, because Gutschewski will relish playing in his home state.
"I'm looking forward to playing in Omaha and it's one of our best stops out here," Gutschewski said. "It's just fun and it's a great atmosphere. Getting to play in front of my friends and the whole family gets to come out and watch will be nice.
"It doesn't happen too often that we all get together but I'm also looking to play well."

I am going to use a lot of bandwidth over the 3g network for large file downloads, streaming audio/video, and to play online games; probable a few gigs a month... Is there anyway for Verizon to know that I am doing this and will they cut me off or something? I will be going from 200mbs a month to 2gbs or more a month on 3g...lol there's no way they're not going to notice.

FAB NEWS! RueLaLa is back with their Style. I Do. Boutique filled with lots of wedding loveliness! Just like in a regular RueLaLa boutique, you will find fabulous designer pieces for much less than full retail price!
Don't miss out– the boutique will open TOMORROW, April 25th at 11:00 a.m. for just 48 hours! The private boutique will feature items from Badgley Mischka, Nicole Miller and Jenny Yoo. The theme of the boutique is 'decades', with wedding and bridesmaid dresses inspired by the 1920s, 1970s and today. SO FUN! Just look at the gorgeousness below!
{images courtesy of Rue La La}
Rue La La asked me to share one of my tips for where to save vs where to splurge when it comes to the ol' wedding budget. I'd have to say, in terms of wedding day attire, I suggest choosing a simple, more modest dress design and playing up your look with some fabulous accessories or shoes. The dress you'll only wear one time, but if you carefully choose your accessories you can find items that can become staples in your wardrobe for years to come! So I say SAVE on the dress and SPLURGE on a gorgeous statement necklace or some designer shoes that you'll get more wear out of! Here's a few options that I think are FAB:
option 1: Kate Spade Shoes + Stella & Dot Necklace
option 2: Kate Spade Shoes + Stella & Dot Necklace
option 3: Kate Spade Shoes + Stella & Dot Necklace
So if you're looking to find some designer items at a fraction of the cost, be sure to check out Rue La La's boutique! Need an invite? Consider this a personal invitation from me to you!!

Continued Pressure On US Consumers To Hurt Family Dollar Stores' Prospects (FDO, HD, TGT, WMT)
Even though the management of Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO) has reiterated its EPS forecast of $0.45 to $050 (1Q10 results on Jan 6), RBC Capital Markets believes that investors are pricing in too steep a recovery for many consumer–related stocks, which have a possibility of getting hurt by issues like prolonged levels of high unemployment; as suggested by the comments from Home Depot (NYSE: HD), Target (NYSE: TGT) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT).
Based on this argument and the fact that although traffic was up during the quarter, transaction size stopped growing, RBC Capital Markets believes other stocks offer better risk/reward profiles than Family Dollar Stores (price target of $30 per share).

ORLANDO, Fla. - The new Harry Potter area opening at Universal Orlando Resort this summer will allow fans to ride the Hogwarts Express train and experience the British countryside just as the characters did in the book and movie series.
According to a news release Friday from Universal Orlando Resort, guests will appear to magically pass through a brick wall and board a train with steam and a whistle.
Riders will have two different experiences -- one on the way to the new London themed area at Universal Studios Park and another on the way to the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter area, which is located at Universal's Islands of Adventure park.
If fans want to see both parks, a two-park ticket will be required.

Editor's Note: Today's post is our monthly visit from a member of the Emma team. Emma is the email marketing provider for Social Media Explorer. Today's post is from Art Quantstom of the Emma Delivery Team.
Technology adapts and improves at a dizzying rate, and if you neglect to pay attention for a moment, it seems you miss something really important. In some ways, this perfectly outlines what has happened with commercially sent email. Email Service Providers (ESPs) like Emma — businesses built in large part upon the service of simplifying the email process — take care of almost everything when it comes to delivering your emails, and it's easy to take that for granted. But should you?
What if your email's delivery doesn't go as planned, and scores of subscribers miss out on your message? What questions should you ask your ESP's support team to set things right? On the flip-side of that, what if they have questions for you about your email list, sending behavior or more? It happens, and you should be prepared to get technical.
The more you know about the delivery process, tips for satisfying spam filters and what you can do to keep your sending reputation high, the better. And building a relationship with your ESP's support team can't hurt either.
A brief overview of email delivery
Before we dig into some details about how to improve your email's delivery, let's back up and take a quick look at the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) transaction, since that's where email delivery starts. SMTP has four main parts:
- HELO or EHLO identifies the server which is trying to send mail to the server receiving that mail.
- MAIL FROM identifies who is sending the email. This is your RSVP address.
- RCPT TO identifies the email address you're trying to reach. There's one of these for every email you send to.
- DATA is where you transfer the actual information — HTML, text, images — you're trying to convey via email.
Each part can present its own unique challenges for delivery. More sophisticated mail transfer agents (MTAs) like Message Systems' offerings and Port25's PowerMTA can be extremely flexible in how they treat each part, and the most common issue is usually timeouts. Your MTA (or your ESP's MTA) has max wait times set for each part of the SMTP transaction, and most domains' response times fit well within these parameters. However, there are exceptions. Timeouts can occur at any time during the SMTP transaction, whether due to an unresponsive DNS entry, a mail server that is under high load or the specific settings for the receiving server.
The result? You'll see emails that have soft bounced, and some legitimate recipients will miss out on your email message. If it's a temporary issue, your MTA should be making multiple delivery attempts within a 24-hour period, and on one of the subsequent attempts, your email will be delivered with no adjustment to the MTA's settings.
But, if the timeout is the result of particular settings on the receiving server, you'll need to work with your ESP and figure out which piece of the SMTP is timing out, what your wait time settings are currently, and, if possible, exactly what your settings should be for the domain in question. Many people aren't aware that changes can be made to the MTA — or aren't willing to take the time to diagnose the problem — but once you've discovered the specifics, it keeps your emails delivering smoothly.
What about spam filters?
So let's say that your emails are being delivered successfully to the receiving server. That's good, but now you've got to take spam filters into account. Filters like SpamAssassin and Postini, as well as offerings from Barracuda and Symantec, are pretty common. They all look relatively similar on the outside, but can vary quite a bit in how they act toward your emails. And for good reason. They have the unenviable task of weeding out all of the bogus mail that tries to make it into your inbox every day. There are so many spam filters, in fact, that there's no way to please all of them. Not 100%, anyway. Instead, follow a few basic rules to ensure your emails have the best chance of reaching the inbox:
- Ask your recipients to add your "from address" to their address book or trusted sender list. The more apparent your relationship is with your recipients, the less likely you are to be filtered.
- Authenticate your emails. Update your organization's SPF record. Ask about DKIM and how that can be implemented, too.
- Be consistent with the appearance of your mailing: no super-sized images, widely varying font sizes or unnecessary formatting. Above all, never let bloated formatting overshadow your message.
- Learn from your spam folder. Take a look at the emails that get filtered there to find out what you'd be best to avoid. Large fonts, anything in all caps, sensationalized claims, calls to action — these are all trouble.
Is that it?
Not quite. How your recipients react to your emails is another important aspect of your success as a sender. Trends in bounce rates, opens, click-throughs and opt-outs provide insights into what you're doing well and, maybe more importantly, what you're not.
For a list that is relatively static, meaning you're not adding a significant amount of recipients between mailings, your bounce rate should be static as well. If you see it trending higher, or if you see an erratic jump, you'll need to look into it, as you may need to adjust your MTA or do some work to repair your sending reputation.
For opens and clicks, you'd like to see them trend upwards, but don't scoff at a steady 25% open rate or 6% click-through rate, either. Clicks can be fickle, depending on the campaign design and purpose; not every one is driving traffic to other places. If you see a drop in open rates, consider taking action. Ask your ESP's support team for advice, and educate yourself on ways to improve open rate.
If you're seeing a consistent single-digit open rate for every campaign, it's pretty likely that your email list needs some clean-up. It's also likely that your emails aren't making it to the inbox at all. It's not a lost cause, but you do need to take steps to repair your reputation. Send a re-engagement campaign to get people back in the fold; it can do wonders for a low open rate. Moreover, remove recipients from your list who are not engaged. These folks are more likely to opt out and complain anyway, so trimming them will give a quick boost to your sending reputation.

After hours, he can be found playing drums in Nashville and searching for the best bowl of Pad Thai.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Is there newer than cortisone?
Dear Sirs,
Is there medicine for Pulmonary Fibrosis better than cortisone and chemical.
Please advise.
Best regards,
Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The American Thoracic Society developed a set of treatment guidelines several years ago that stated prednisone (cortisone) and either cyclophosphamide or azathioprine are preferred conventional treatment. Recently, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated that the combination of prednisone + azathioprine + N-acetylcysteine is better than prednisone + azathioprine alone. A study of gamma interferon in pulmonary fibrosis has recently completed enrolling patients, but the results of that study will take more than 2 years before we know if the gamma interferon works. Presently, there is a new study of pirfenidone in pulmonary fibrosis, and this study is actively enrolling patients at many academic medical centers around the world.
The bottom line is that there is no cure, but some treatments may be partly effective in some patients. You should ask your pulmonologist about drugs including prednisone, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, N-acetylcysteine, and gamma interferon. Because no progress in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis will be possible without clinical trials, I would also urge you to consider looking into trials at an academic medical center close to you.

While we're still a ways away from the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops II on November 13, 2012, that hasn't stopped Activision and developer Treyarch from releasing the game's official launch trailer a bit early. The trailer in question, embedded below, shows us a future that is pretty bleak… or "black" according to Activisions marketing team. What they mean by that is simple: the future will be overrun with robots and dudes wearing squirrel suits. Terrifying.
Give the trailer a watch below and get ready for Black Ops 2's launch on November 13 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

As an honorary eastern representative of the Cutie Mark Crusaders organization, it looks like Babs Seed may be seeing a bit more airtime in the future. Whether this is a full episode or just a one off mentioned pony isn't completely clear, fans of the new character can at least expect to see some more of her according to Cindy Morrow (One Bad Apple's writer) on her Twitter page.
I for one welcome our new tail covering pony trope.
Thanks to Leopold for the tip!

Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
no, he would not be able to take any action against her. There is no crime committed here when it's in both of their names. If, and I do mean if, there was an order telling her to refinance in she did not comply with that, his only recourse would be to go to the court that issued the order and ask for an order holding her in contempt of court. But I can pretty much guarantee that the police would say that this is a civil matter and that they would not get iy.
*they would not get involved
By the way, I apologize for any errors in this answer. I am using a voice recognition program, and while it is accurate most of the time, is not 100% accurate, so if there's something that doesn't look quite right, or appears out of place or not grammatically correct, the reason is likely the software that I'm using. If will try to catch any errors, but if if you need clarification at the end, please let me know.
the only way that the police would get involved is if there was an allegation that she stole the vehicle, but such an allegation would be a false statement to the police, which would truly be a crime on his part, not your daughter's part.
So long as she can show that she is a part owner of the vehicle, there really is nothing that they could do to her, even if she had no intention of refinancing the vehicle.
Hope that clears things up a bit. If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please rate my answer AND press the "submit" button, if applicable. Please note that I don't get any credit for my answer unless and until you rate it a 3, 4, 5 (good or better). Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX luck to you!
The financial agreement between them has been verbal except for child support order. (Which by the way, he is not paying the amount ordered by the court..another issue). She is being diligent in trying to refinance, but has credit issues.
I understand. Even if there was a written agreement saying that she would do this, without a court order there would be nothing that he could do other than file a breach of contract against her. If there was a court order, all he could do would be to file contempt against her. There is no crime, so the police will not get involved.
Thank you. She does have the contract with both of their names on it.
what I mean by that is a contract between her and him saying that she would refinance the vehicle, not the contract with the lender or seller.
Yes, I understand. Basically, he is just harassing her. Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX answered my questions.
My pleasure.If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please rate my answer AND press the "submit" button, if applicable. Please note that I don't get any credit for my answer unless and until you rate it a 3, 4, 5 (good or better). Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX good luck to you!

Want to host a contest?
Regional contests are produced by Writers' Night Out hosts, educational institutions, libraries, or otherwise interested volunteers. Producers do three things prior to an event. First, they select and book a venue between now and early March. Pubs, coffee shops, rock clubs, and restaurants have all hosted events in the past. Second, the producer acts as contact for registration. The regional competition is limited to 10 participants, so a waiting list may need to be maintained in case someone gets cold feet. Third, the host selects three judges. Still interested in producing a contest? Let us know and we can help get you set up.
Are you planning a three-Minute Fiction Slam? Let us know by sending an email to Three Minute Fiction Slam. Include your name and contact information, and the location, date and time of the event.

How does the event work?
Here is generally what you can expect from a Three-Minute Fiction Slam contest:
- The host welcomes the audience and writers and a general overview of the evening is offered.
- Writers take turns presenting original flash fiction pieces of no more than three minutes in length when read aloud.
- In some regions, contestants consent to being shot with a water pistol if they go over his or her time. In other regions, a cell phone timer goes off.
- After each writer is done, judges give (very brief) verbal feedback and secretly record a numeric score out of five. One point over-all will be deducted if an author goes over the allotted three minutes.
- The judges keep a private score for each piece. At the end of the night, the contestant with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, the audience selects the winner through an "Applause-O-Meter" test as determined by the judges.
- Regional winners are invited to participate in the Three Minute Fiction Slam state finals. If they cannot attend, then the runner-up will be sent.
- Past winners have performed their works for the Business in the Arts Awards Ceremony, the Currier Museum, and on-air at NHPR. Among other prizes, the ultimate winner gets free entrance to Writers' Day 2016 (the region's largest literary conference) where they will read the winning work before an audience of publishers, editors, agents, and fellow writers.

Using USB as serial port,
I have an application that runs on DELL Axim and uses the serial port (COM1).
I want my application to run on IPAQ which has only USB port.
To do that we built an interface card that when we connect it to the IPAQ we see the USB port as COM0 and we can use it as a regular serial port. Everything is working except of one major problem.
When we disconnect our interface card from the IPAQ the COM0 is not available any more. And if it is done in a middle of an IO operation to the port (Write) than the application hangs in the IOoperation and the only way to recover is to hard reset the IPAQ It happens even if I am in the debugger (Visual studio.net C# application).
Since the user of our devices can disconnect the IPAQ any time it is a major problem.

Crushable Quotable: Henry Cavill Is As Much Of A Superman Fan As The Rest Of Us
Obviously Henry Cavill is having the time of his life shooting Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's Superman movie. After all, he gets to perform awesome stunts, work with Amy Adams and Russell Crowe… And even with the whole Sucker Punch mess, Zack Snyder is still an imaginative director who brings out fantastic performances. But above all, Henry is genuinely psyched; you can tell that he's a true fan.
At a press junket for his forthcoming film Immortals, he shared just how special it was for him to embody the famous superhero. He talked especially about the iconic suit and the various prototypes he tried on until they found one that fit:
"[T]he first time I had it all on with the cape, I deliberately didn't look in the mirror as it was going on. I wanted to have that sort of turnaround moment. Probably one of the best moments of my life, to turn around and realize that I'm Superman. There's no other feeling like it. That still hasn't gone, either. Still, when I'm in the trailer, I'm going, 'This is so cool!'"
Aww! As we've said before, Henry is a bonafide geek, which is really the kind of guy that we want to see playing superheroes. You know, someone who grew up reading the comics as opposed to flicking through the latest issue once his agent hands him the screenplay.
You would think it would make more sense for a post about the Superman costume to feature Henry in the Superman costume. But you already know what that looks like! So instead, here's a photo of him shooting the movie's one shirtless scene. (You're welcome.)

Guests at our San Diego Bay hotel are never at a loss for ways to unwind and relax. You can take a dip in one of our three deluxe swimming pools—including one reserved for adults—or work up a sweat with a game of tennis at one of our three courts. If you believe that vacation doesn't give you any excuses for ditching the fitness routine, our Fitness Center, complete with all the latest equipment, is the place for you. Looking for something above and beyond the norm? Make an appointment at our world-class Sea Spa for one of the most relaxing, body-tingling experiences you'll have during your stay. Right outside the resort you can catch a complimentary shuttle from our San Diego Bay resort over to the Silver Strand State Beach and sink your toes into the beautiful sandy beach—or jump right into the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. For something more active, you can rent everything from a kayak to speedboat to a sand cruiser from our water sports partner Action Sports Rentals.
Among hotels in San Diego, Loews Coronado Bay is legendary for our pools. We have not one but three heated pools for you to enjoy, including one just for adults. Settle in, and prepare to be pampered by our own Poolside Concierge, with extras such as chilled fruit and towels or delicious smoothies. Activities such as an aqua-fitness class and Dive-In Movies make things all that more fun for adults and kids alike.
Loews Coronado Bay Resort features an expansive pool deck with three pools. With a children's pool (3½-feet deep around the edges and 4 ½-deep in the center), a family pool and hot tub, and an adults-only pool and hot tub, there is an experience for everyone. Also enjoy poolside cocktails and light fare from La Cantina.
Children (and adults!) can also enjoy an oversized game of Connect Four, chess or a competitive game of ping-pong on one of our two ping-pong tables.
For the ultimate pool experience, guests can reserve one of our three poolside cabanas. Each features lounge chairs, a safe and a small table, plus a small refrigerator stocked with waters, sodas and fruit. Special food and beverage packages are also available for purchase. Cabanas are located near the adult-only pool. Contact the concierge or call 619-424-4000 for pricing and reservations.
During the summer, our Pool Concierge provides you and your family with treats and services throughout the afternoon—special goodies like Italian ice, frozen grape kabobs and a spritz of suntan-lotion mist. Chilled hand towels are another luxury we consider a necessity on a beautiful, hot Southern California day. See, we've thought of everything. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the poolside panoramic views of the ocean, bay and San Diego skyline.
Alongside our three heated pools, you'll find plenty of poolside fun, whether you're young or simply young at heart. From Memorial Day through Labor Day and at other special holiday times, we get things going with live music and up-and-coming local DJs.

SEC enforcement: Does forthright disclosure and cooperation really matter?
This study examines the conditions under which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exercises enforcement leniency following a restatement. I explore whether cooperation with SEC staff and forthright disclosure of a restatement (e.g., disclosures reported in a timely and visible manner) reduce the likelihood of an SEC sanction or SEC monetary penalties. After controlling for restatement severity, I find that cooperation increases the likelihood of being sanctioned, perhaps because it improves the SEC's ability to build a successful case against the firm. However, cooperation and forthright disclosures are rewarded by the SEC through lower monetary penalties.

Why lightweight carry guns?
Why the emphasis on "lightweight" carry guns? I personally prefer carrying a weapon with a little heft.
I could carry just about any handgun I cared to, and I own many to choose from; however, my two carry companions for the last 15 years (that all alternating -- I don't carry two at the same time) have been either a full size 1911, or a .40 caliber Firestar, which was the first compact .40 caliber. Y'all all know the shape and size of a 1911; the Firestar is about the size of the Colt Officer's ACP that was my carry prior to switching to the Firestar. (Although different internally, the controls of the Firestar are the same as a 1911 -- a very underrated little gun, but that's another story).
I carry in either a IWB holster behind my hip, or, if more concealment is needed, in a "bellyband" under my shirt, without printing or discomfort; their weight and size is so unnoticeable that I frequently forget that I'm wearing them -- I'll have been home a couple of hours before I realize I haven't taken them off yet. (I'm an average sized person)
Why do I carry these guns instead of a smaller, lighter "concealment" gun?
1. Caliber. I like self defense calibers that start with a "4". The .380 used to be known as a "mousegun" (yes, I know advances in ammo has increased it's stopping power), and I've never been a fan of the 9mm (but let's not get into that discussion here).
2. Accuracy. Both of my carry guns are reasonably accurate up to 25 yards. (Yes, I know studies have shown that most gunfights occurs at less than 7 yards. My guns work just fine at this distance too.) Decent sight radius and you can get a good grip on 'em.
3. Control. I believe that the ability to re-acquire a target (or multiple targets) is an important aspect of a self defense firearm. With my carry guns the ability go get back on target quickly is not a problem, even when shooting one-handed.
So . . . why the preference for "little" guns?
I understand your perspective on your justification for carrying bigger guns but its quite simple for most people who choose subcompact/small frame/lightweight guns: better conceal-ability.
Okay, but I still maintain that with the proper holster, it is just as easy to conceal a 1911 as it is a smaller gun.
Most people dont want to carry a large, heavy steel framed gun even with a decent holster. I'm 6'1 225lbs and I still prefer my compact Glock30 because its more comfortable and doesnt pull my pants down throughout the day. Thats what I prefer and Ive tried carrying my commander length 1911. I always go back to the Glock for its size and weight, while accommodating 10rds of hard hitting .45 ACP which is 2+ rounds than my 1911
Txpossum - I have "ZERO" ass and choose to pocket carry. Stuff a mid-size in yer pocket & get back to me. I live in PA, open carry is legal, but not practical or practiced.
I choose compact (LC9) for fit and lessened print.
I prefer a bigger gun over a smaller one, although i sometimes do take my bersa .380 over the .45. Yes the full size 1911 is heavy but i have little trouble sticking it in my blackhawk serpa paddle under a tshirt and going on.
In my case due to a back injury I cant carry more than 30 oz on my belt without additional support. The best holster in the world wont change that. I agree that too hot a caliber in too light a gun is going be a problem to control which affects how well and how quickly you will be able to engage a target or multiple targets. One of the reasons I have a Sig P238 instead of a micro 9. That little Firestar is nice little pistol. My SP101 is a lot easier to shoot with 38+P than a light J Frame and falls within my weight limit. It gets very hot where I live so I usually pocket carry the P238. When clothing permits, I carry an SR9c. The SR9c and the G36 (45) are almost identical in loaded weight but the SR9c is faster, more controllable and it carries 4 more rounds.
A long time ago my duty gun was the venerable S&W 4506-1 and my off duty gun was the S&W 4566. With a good belt and a good holster it carried just fine, but I did find myself being fatigued at the end of the day. Either that or just really pleased to take off that big hunk of steel. Then I purchased a compact S&W 3914 for the Mrs. and decided to carry it myself for a few weeks. Never went back to that 4566. Carrying that slim and light 3914 was pure joy. I even had to touch it from time to time to remember it was on my hip. For me it was and is all about finding balance between ease and comfort of carry and shootability.
Its just personal preferance -

Authorities (mostly me) are becoming alarmed at the increasing number of food-related domestic violence attacks in Florida.
An unnamed Vero Beach, Fla. man allegedly assaulted his girlfriend with a McDonald's cheeseburger during an argument in a car in front of their home.
According to the Indian County Sheriff's office, the woman threw the guy's drink out the window, so he smashed her in the face with his burger. After they got out of the car, he hit her in the face again.
This is the second time in two months that a man has hit his girlfriend in the face with a sandwich. Back in November, a Fort Pierce, Fla. man whacked his girlfriend in the face with a sandwich while they were driving down I-95.
Emmanuelle Rodriguez admitted to police that he hit his girlfriend with the sandwich, because "he didn't want to hit her." Instead, he ripped the rear view mirror off and started whacking the windshield with it.
It's interesting to note that Vero Beach and Fort Pierce are about 15 miles apart. Is there an epicenter of food-related violence on Florida's east coast? What is it about the Sunshine state that's causing people to perpetuate domestic food crimes?

Fritton festival helps recovering addicts
PUBLISHED: 16:28 23 June 2013 | UPDATED: 16:43 23 June 2013
©Archant 2013
The serene setting of Fritton Lake near Great Yarmouth was chosen for a weekend festival aimed at supporting people on their journey of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Lake swims, meditation, art workshops and a programme of live music were enjoyed by more than 400 people who attended the first Recovery Evolution event.
The three-day festival also included key-note speeches by Simon Jenkins, founder of the Recovery Now organisation and author Ian Young.
Many of the recovering addicts brought along their families, pitching tents on the edge of the picturesque country park.
Organiser Dan Farnham, who lives nearby in St Olaves Road, Somerleyton, said: "This has been the first event of its kind and it is particularly good for the families who have been able to come together, share stories and feel part of it."
Mr Farnham is a former high-flying sales director who lost everything after he developed a cocaine addiction.
He is now chief executive of East Coast Recovery, a business which offers residential rehabilitation from substance misuse in Lowestoft.
He said: "We have 47 beds in three large guesthouses; we have a 50-50 split between private and NHS patients."

Rumors roundup: Crain, Pena and Soriano
With the expectation that there will be progress this week on some of baseball's bigger deals - such as Cliff Lee, Derek Jeter - and deadlines approaching on free agent arbitration and non-tenders, there are rumors again starting to circulate.
One, from the MLB Network's Peter Gammons, has the Rays among nine teams interested in free agent reliever Jesse Crain, who had been with the Twins. Crain, 29, is a workhorse, having pitched in 71 games last season, going 1-1, 3.04 with one save. According to Gammons, also interested are the Rockies, Dodgers, D-backs, Mariners, Orioles, Cubs, Nats and Blue Jays.
Among the Rays-related, one has 1B Carlos Pena - as mentioned in the Times a few weeks ago - drawing the interest of the Chicago Cubs, as reported today by Foxsports.com's Jon Morosi. The Cubs, who don't have an internal candidate, have also expressed interest in Lance Berkman. There is also talk in Chicago of interest in OF/1B Brad Hawpe, as a reserve. Since Hawpe was offered - and is expected to decline - arbitration, the Rays would get a compensation pick if he signs elsewhere.
Another is that that the Rangers could emerge as a bidder for free-agent Rafael Soriano, under the scenario where they don't sign Cliff Lee and move closer Neftali Feliz to the rotation, which they are talking about internally according to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo.
There is also an mlb.com report that the Dodgers are now targeting veteran INF Juan Uribe. That's Rays related because if Uribe were to leave the Giants for the Dodgers, that likely would increase the Giants interest in trading for SS Jason Bartlett. The Cardinals, Orioles and Padres are also considered to be among the teams that have interest.

(PRWEB) December 03, 2012
EXoBlue Records released 13 songs for Alien Tribes debut electronica album We Are Here that are available through digital download from major on-line websites. Alien Tribe is the electronic music project of songwriter, performer, engineer, mixer and producer Lia Shapiro. While the album boast a wide array of genres and rhythms, all these new songs are unified through the signature sound Lia creates as a producer.
My hope is that people will get an emotional experience when they hear my music. They may not always be able to identify it, categorize it or come up with a genre, but they know for sure it creates a feeling and thats what I want them to remember stated music artist Shapiro who worked on this project for over five years.
All Alien Tribe songs feature originally engineered sounds that Lia designs herself combined with a variety of rhythms some of which are dance like while others more relaxing. Lia is one of only a handful of women songwriters who also mix, engineer and produce music. Her signature sound is completed with multi-layered vocals that mix inventive lyrics with whaling, chanting and other uses of the voice all deftly mixed to create an emotional feeling in the listener.
I believe the wailings and chants, and even some of my synth parts are the expressions of universal longing and yearning. We all long and yearn. We are humans and we feel emotions and passion. Real life not only consists of the happy moments but more often, real life can mean suffering and pain. In my own way, I try to relate to real life and what it means Alien Tribes Shapiro shared.
The 13 songs tap into these universal feelings by addressing issues of lost love, aloneness, sadness, societal issues and more. At the same time, they also offer an uplifting and inspiring message such as Rise up tall, shout the call, let freedom sing, like love on wings from Alien Tribes pop song Mess It Up and One soul, One heart, One world...we gotta come together...we gotta love! from the chill song Feel The Love.
Alien Tribes "We Are Here" is on EXoBlue Records. Music licensing for advertising, TV, films and games is handled by Rykristo Music Publishing.

The Mariners aren't messing around.
Not only are the Mariners "major players" in the Robinson Cano sweepstakes, but they're also willing to shell out a boatload of cash to land the five-time All-Star. According to ESPNDeportes.com, the Mariners informed Cano that they are willing to give him a 10-year deal worth between $230-240 million.
Cano reportedly flew to Seattle to meet with the club Thursday, at which point the M's extended the proposal. It's the largest offer for Cano that's been reported to this point, and perhaps it'll be enough to entice the second baseman, who is believed to have previously asked for a 10-year, $310 million deal or a nine-year, $252 million deal. The Yankees, according to reports, have been reluctant to enter into the $200 million range, which has stalled talks between the two sides.
The Yankees have signed Jacoby Ellsbury (seven years, $153 million) and Brian McCann (five years, $85 million) already this offseason, creating some doubt as to whether they'll be able to fit Cano's potentially hefty contract into their plans. With the Mariners apparently willing to offer the moon in order to make a splash, the chances of Cano returning to New York, where he has spent the first nine years of his career, might be dwindling.
Cano, who is considered the best free agent available this offseason, hit .314 with 27 home runs and 107 RBIs in 2013. The 31-year-old has finished in the top six in American League MVP voting in each of the last four seasons.

Part 2 of: My First Lesbian. Once she had calmed down from her orgasm we packed up our stuff and got dressed and headed to the train station to go back to my place. We walked hand in hand to the station and of course this gave us a lot of stares and whispered conversations behind our backs by those who don't understand. We didn't care, we just kept walking and giggling about what we had...

It all started about 3 years ago...

UEFA honours
UEFA Cup: winner 2000
• Turkey's all-time record scorer with 51 goals in 112 international appearances, the 'Bull of the Bosphorus' was immensely prolific for Galatasary, where he had three spells and won 14 major honours, including the 2000 UEFA Cup.
• Won the Turkish Cup with Sakaryaspor before moving in 1990 to Bursaspor and joining Galatasaray for the first time in 1992, landing the title in his first two seasons.
• Moved to Italy in 1995 but failed to settle at Torino and made a quick return to Galatasaray, winning the Turkish Süper Lig golden boot for three successive seasons (1996/97 to 1998/99), all of which brought further titles.
• Scored six goals in nine games – including one in each of the quarter-final and semi-final ties – as Galatasaray won the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup, becoming the first Turkish team to win a European club trophy.
• First capped by Turkey in March 1992 while a Bursaspor player, he became the team's resident centre-forward, appearing at the UEFA European Championships of 1996 and 2000.
• Scored the fastest goal in FIFA World Cup finals history 11 seconds into the third-place play-off against co-hosts South Korea in 2002. Twelve months later he was voted by UEFA as Turkey's Golden Player of the previous 50 years.
• Spells abroad between 2000 and 2003 − at Inter, Parma and Blackburn − led him back to the home comforts of Galatasaray, where he won the Turkish Cup for the sixth time before sealing his seventh and eighth league titles.
• Brought up a half-century of international goals when he scored four times in a 5-0 defeat of Moldova on 11 October 2006; closed his account the following June with his 51st goal as Turkey lost 3-2 to Bosnia-Herzegovina in a UEFA EURO 2008 qualifier.
• Retired in 2008 as the Turkish top flight's all-time record marksman with 249 goals; also found the net a Galatasaray-record 38 times in UEFA club competition.
• Hakan received a commemorative cap and medal from UEFA to mark his century of international appearances on 7 October 2011, before Turkey's 1-0 victory against Azerbaijan in UEFA European Championship qualifying.
• "There's no doubt that every game I played for the national team holds a very special place in my heart," he said. "I'm deeply honoured that my international career, filled with significant memories, is recognised by UEFA."
