We love our Padre home starts here at Razzball. We love it so much we have a term for it in our glossary. That spacious ocean front property is where hitters go to die and pitchers go to pad their stats for arbitration. How genius to make a park that is so huge you never have to worry about acquiring hitting and fill it with mediocre pitchers and speedy poor hitting fielders. This works so well it's been passed off as a Major League ball club. It's funny that the next closest ball club is in Tijuana, Mexico and they might be as good as the Padres. It may sound like I'm picking a fight with Jay, but I'm really not. If I was to do that I would say that Maker's Mark is like toilet water, which it's not, and that Star Trek is for guys who can't get a date….OK, let's shoot for two out of three. I think the Padres are working with what they got and know their chances to compete come along once in a blue moon. I honestly think if they went back to the old school brown and yellow uni's with the swinging friar they will start to compete. That bland blue or strangely out of place camo has got's to go. You get them looking like Dave Winfield and Ozzie Smith and I think they will start winning ball games. What does this have to do with daily fantasy? Not much, but any chance to push for the return of the brown and yellow is a good day for me. I remember 1984 like it was yesterday. I went to a Dodger game with my brother's baseball team so we could see Steve Garvey in another jersey and watch the Goose, Nettles, Gwynn, McReynolds, and Templeton strut their stuff. Back then it was safe to root for the opposing team at Dodger Stadium and you could enjoy all the players without fear of a beat down. Now you just need to do it quietly while in disguise as a Dodger fan. Fast forward to today…actually tomorrow but because you won't read this today but tomorrow then I'll just say today….got it? Good! The fish and their free swinging ways are coming to San Diego and the solid Ian "the head hunter" Kennedy gets to take the hill. The Marlins have dropped to 9th for team K% with a rate of 22.7 but a lot of that has to do with the really nice home stand they are on. It's still a lot by daily fantasy standards and we are here to play the odds. Ian Kennedy ($9,700) sports a very healthy 9.43 K/9 which when you combine with that K rate should give us 8 K's in 7 innings and a really nice anchor line for your daily fantasy team. The Stream-o-Nator has him as the #3 starter on the day. In the morning you can check Rudy's newest fantasy toy the DFSBot for another perspective. If you are still on the fence about daily fantasy then click this DraftKings link and we have a free entry for new users that make a deposit. It's a blast and welcome any of you to challenge myself or any of the other daily fantasy writers for a little H2H action and we can have a little bragging rights session next week.
Danny Duffy, SP: $5,800 – The cheapest play on the day and the one with the biggest sleeper potential. He's got 9.49 K/9 on the year and faces the Mariners in spacious Seattle. The Mariners are the 8th worst team for K-rate and the 5th worst team for walk rate. Excuse me while I go add him to stream tomorrow in my RCL.
Tyler Flowers, C: $3,000 – It's a punt play position….you down with PPP? Yeah you know me. He's hit for average all year after being a "power hitter" the last couple of years. Let's join hands and form a prayer circle for one over the fence. Everyone at once "Kumbaya…."
Brandon Belt, 1B: $3,800 – After suffering a case of the slumpees he's put together two multi hit games including a double and a home run yesterday. He's already hit one home run at Dodger Stadium this year and at this cost is worth the gamble so you can load up elsewhere.
Edwin Encarnacion, 1B: $4,400 – He's starting to get into form and after blasting home runs the past two days I'm hoping this hot streak continues. Considering what other 1B options are going for I would recommend this one if you aren't feeling Brandon Belt.
Jedd Gyorko, 2B/3B: $3,200 – He started the season molasses slow but since coming off paternity leave he's knocked two home runs. He's a good deal if you're looking for a 1 for 4 with a home run kinda guy, which in DraftKings is a good thing.
Nolan Arenado, 3B: $4,800 – I'm stacking this game and I will spend on the hot hand. The guy has been killing it and I'm riding that hot hand and spending on this piece of my stack.
Troy Tulowitzki, SS: $6,400 – This might be a little bonkers considering the price, but if you go with my Duffy play then this might be affordable. He's healthy, he's mashing, and he gets Matt Harrison.
Elvis Andrus, SS: $4,200 – The other side of the stack is the Texas speedster who can grab some bags and score some runs. It's better value than Dee Gordon with possibly similar results.
Colby Rasmus, OF: $ 4,300 – He's been on fire of late and hitting in the Rocket Center where he faces former Blue Jay A.J. Burnett who was a big waste of money for Jays. I'm predicting he gets shelled and so does Vegas (see below).
Drew Stubbs, OF: $3,600 – He's been playing, and hitting, and with the DH spot has a good chance of playing today. I would surely check the line up in case you need to swap him out but I love his combination of power, speed and value. With Corey Dickerson most likely getting benched vs. the lefty I can see him batting second between Tulo and the Blackmon. Hey that sounds like a racist 70's cop show.
Adam Jones, OF: $4,000 – How is he only a $4,000 play today? This is the new and not improved David Price who got shelled last year in 4 game starts vs. the Orioles. Coming off a 2 HR day yesterday and me being a strong believer in Schmotatoism will mean I play him and pray to the hot god.
I'm Only Happy When It Rains
Possible thunder storms in Arlington so watch for possible delays if you want to stack that game. Rain in Seattle, shocker, but they have one of them fancy roofs that move. Heavy winds blowing in from right field in Chicago but it's the windy city….they might be use to it. Everywhere else it's either clouds or sun with no major wind factors. Why do we quote Garbage here?
Doing Lines In Vegas
COL @ TEX at 9 1/2 – My stack attack is the convergence of two bad pitchers against two good offenses…OK, maybe I should say one good offensive team in real life and one good on paper. I'm looking at you Prince and Adrian.
PHI @ TOR at 8 1/2 – the Jays can pile it on and the Phillies can be a big pile. I think Vegas might be over estimating the Phillies but I think Toronto is going to put a beat down on Toronto's favorite bust….no not boobs.
CHI @ CHI at 8 1/2 – One great city two great hitters park. I'm staying away from this one with that wind and the fact that we could see a dud here. But Vegas makes a living off this and I make it my hobby.
Join me in the comments today and this Sunday for my latest installment of Jack's Hit of the Week.

Here's a question for you. Eggnog … "Hooray!!" or "No Way!" Where do you stand? There seems to be a definitely line in the sand when in comes to this beverage. You either love it or you hate it. Unless you're like me. I'm kind of on the fence. I am firmly stationed in the "No Way!" camp when it comes to drinking eggnog. It's not that I dislike the taste. For me, it's a problem with the consistency. It's just too thick. Blegh!
However, that being said, I have found a way to enjoy eggnog. I love using it in baked goods! Cookies? Oh yeah. French Toast? Yes, please! Even oatmeal. So good! In my experience, eggnog lends a wonderful flavor to a variety of baked goods and does not gross me out the way trying to drink it does. So if you're on the "No Way!" of the eggnog debate, perhaps if you try it a different way you'll be a convert too. How about eggnog in a cake? Uh hmmm… it's amazing. Trust me here.
This month for BundtaMonth the theme is to bake a boozy bundt. Now that's a theme I can get behind. I thought about my success in using eggnog in other recipes but I'd had yet to try baking a cake. This eggnog bundt cake is beyond moist. It's lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg then glazed with a bourbon spiked glaze. All the flavor of the holiday season baked into a lovely bundt cake and it's sure to please even the people who loathe eggnog.
If you'd like to join in, pick your poison and come along for the ride. Bake a boozy bundt! Then just add your link below so we can all see your creation. In the meantime, be sure to check out what all the other hostesses baked up this month!

My Pager Number is 40x xx47 …. When I first said that in the late 80s, I felt so proud of being the owner of a pager. You don't see people wearing a pager nowadays too (or maybe not too common);
The one on the left was my first pager in 1989 when I had my first sales job. At that time, it was still 7 digits without the 9 added to the pager number. At least, mine was considered new fashion if you compared it with those long and skinny type of pagers without any display. Those were probably the first generation of pagers I've come across – just a simple beep with no display; when you received a beep, you just returned a call to the company (usually it's used by the company you worked for).
Take note of that old Telecom logo on the pager. Here are the receipts I still kept, my goodness – $260 for a pager!

A friend of mine heads up a Community Emergency Response Team just outside of Washington, DC. Last time I talked to him, I asked him what they do for respirator mask fit testing. He told me that in his 30+ years in emergency medicine, he'd only been fit tested a couple times, using a qualitative method with saccharine. As I think back to my years in emergency response, and my time working in a hospital emergency room, it doesn't surprise me too much. Back then, I wasn't even tested with a hood. It's probably because there were fewer regulations about fit testing. But knowing what I know now, it bothers me that our emergency response teams aren't better protected.
Last September, on its tenth anniversary, we remembered the events of 9/11, and the profound impact the day's events had on our nation, its people, and even our industry's safety regulations. In recent years, widespread flu epidemics brought to light the importance of testing the fit of disposable masks. OSHA, NFPA, and the CDC have recommended using the more precise and accurate quantitative fit test method, to ensure that the masks your teams wear are providing the best protection. Renting a TSI PortaCount Pro series is an inexpensive way for you to protect your team and meet safety requirements.
Be safe, Matt
TSI Quantitative Fit Testing for Reliability and Safety
TSI PortaCount Pro and Pro+ series are the next generation of the industry standard TSI PortaCount Plus 8020 and 8028 quantitative fit testing systems. PortaCount Pro 8030 is for tight-fitting half and full size SCBA mask respirators. The PortaCount Pro+ 8038 adds the ability to test N95 disposable masks. When compared to standard qualitative fit testing technology ...
- PortaCounts provide quantitative results. To ensure staff safety, why not use the most accurate testing method?
- Anyone can administer a PortaCount test by following the video screen. No specialist required. PortaCount guides you step by step through each test.
- The person tested cannot influence the test results. No more "seems to fit" or "I think I can taste the saccharin."
- You can keep results electronically or print reports and ID cards. If you have ever spent time looking for a report, you'll appreciate the availability of easy access to test data.
- By renting. you save in yearly calibrations and maintenance costs. With strict OSHA regulation on fit testing, it's critical to have equipment that's properly calibrated.
- We rent the most common mask adapters and can order others. "Oh no, we don't have the right adapter!"
RAECO also rents personal gas detection monitors, to alert your team to dangerous levels of CO, CO2, oxygen deficiency, and combustible gases.

My tRyst with HurriCane MunIyammA
Then I woke up the next day to find that it was still raining I asked my mom whether the rain started just now. And she said it's been raining since yesterday. I was really happy now cuz there would be no college. At that moment AKshaYa calls me up and tells me that there is no college. Then there is a big confusion as to whether I should or should not go to college as it was my model exam + comprehension exam. Then I called up aPaRNa and she also told there is no college. Then I started jumping around in excitement. Then I browsed the net for a while. At precisely 10:30 am the current went out. Then I started receiving news that the power was out in most of the places. Now I began to worry cuz without current it's really horrible. I've already had a bad experience with current. Then I went about things as usual…

Rapanui Proper and Place Names versus Rongorongo Texts
© Sergei V. Rjabchikovprevious next
Part 3.
7. A text (Sa 1) of the Great Washington tablet is presented in figure 8.
It reads as follows: 4-6 45-46-45 62-4 69 A atua Punapu toti Moko 'The god Puna (Spring) associated with the Lizard (the rain god Hiro).' Here Old Rapanui toti means 'attached'.
The Old Rapanui form punapu is the incomplete doubling of the form puna 'spring, well' (cf. Rapanui marama 'light; crescent', maramama 'red-hot coals', Mangarevan maramara 'firewood' < *mara (cf. the name of the moon goddess known as Hina Hau Mara); Rapanui taheta 'spring' < tahe 'to stream; to flow'). In the manuscript E (Barthel 1978: 324, 326) two similar sentences are written down, and they differ from one another by Old Rapanui nihoniho and nihoni only. T. Barthel (1978: 90) translates these words as 'indented (?)', cf. Rapanui niho 'tooth'.
In my opinion, this record correlates with the place name Puna rere hiva. The variant of the name of the rain deity is known as Hiva Kara Rere (Felbermayer 1963). In this place name one can distinguish the term puna (spring) and the words rere hiva (a part of the deity's name). It is highly plausible that the rain was a source of the water for this spring. The place name Ahu Nga Rauhiva a Kara is known (Englert 1974: 267). It may be read as follows: Ahu Ngarau Hiva a kara, so it is a hint of the rain deity.
8. Several parallel texts are presented in figures 9 and 10.
A segment of the tablet Mamari (Cb 2/3) is presented in fragment 1. It reads as follows: 4-6 45-46-45 11 19 4 19 59-33 12 4-6 44-15 44-15 44-15 44 6-4 81 72-126 72-126 [a segment is damaged] 6-4-4 27 52 61 12 A atua Punapu Mango ki atua, ki kaua ika, a atua Taha roa, Taha roa, Taha roa TAHA, a atua MANU Manu kura, Manu kura [a segment is damaged], a atuaatua Rau-Hiti Hina ika 'The deity 'Puna ['The Sping'] (where) 'The Shark' [Nuku-te-Mango] (is attached) to the deity, to the group of people of the hill', the deity 'Taha roa ['The great Frigate Bird'] FRIGATE BIRD', the deity 'BIRD The Red Bird [Manu Mea] [a segment is damaged]', the god 'Hitirau [='The red stone'] near the hill of the Moon [Tararaina]'.'
Here the hill Puna Pau where the Easter Islanders manufactured "hats" pukao from the red stone (hitirau) for the statues is mentioned. In compliance with a Rapanui myth (Métraux 1940: 260-261), the spirits Nuku-te-Mango, Hitirau and Hauriuri lived at this place. I translate the name of this hill as 'The old spring' (cf. Rapanui pau 'tired; shabby; ragged'). The name Nuku-te-Mango means 'The army of the Shark' (Rjabchikov 1996b: 39). A man called 'The Shark' was a legendary king. Moreover, this name could be connected with the cult of the god Tangaroa. The name Hitirau signifies 'The red stone', and the name Hauriuri means 'The Black Man' (Fedorova 1978: 355).(4) Rapanui kaua 'ancestor; forefather' is comparable with Maori kau 'multitude; company; ancestor', kauati 'chief; principal person', Tuamotuan tuukau 'predominant chief', tapakau 'supreme ruler', Samoan tapa'au 'high chief', cf. also Proto-Polynesian *kau 'group of people, company' and *kau 'to take part, to join' (Biggs and Clark 2006). In my opinion, both reconstructed forms could originate from Proto-Polynesian *kau 'to swim' (Biggs and Clark 2006), it was a hint of early navigators. In this context I reconstruct Old Rapanui kau(a) 'group of people, company; army; ancestor'. The name of the Rano Kau volcano means 'The volcano of the group of people = a ritual place' literally in this case.
Old Rapanui ika 'hill; heap' is comparable with Maori ika whenua 'main range of hills' and ika 'to lie in a heap; heap'. Undoubtedly, these forms imply the fishing-up of islands by demigod Maui in the Maori beliefs (Buck 1938: 275). Since this personage is known in the Easter Island folklore (Barthel 1974), some terms associated with him are available in the Old Rapanui language. I also take into consideration Rapanui ika potu 'end of a voyage; destination', ika 'fish' and potu 'end'.
It is possible that in this inscription a plan of producing of "hats" pukao for statues of the ceremonial platforms Ahu Taha roa and Ahu Manu mea is encoded. N.A. Butinov (1984: 109) distinguishes Old Rapanui taha 'frigate bird' in the place name Hanga taharoa. I translate the expression Taha roa as 'The Big Frigate Bird'. Thus, the name of Ahu Taha roa signifies 'The ceremonial platform 'The Big Frigate Bird''. The place name Ahu Manu mea means 'The ceremonial platform 'The Red Bird''. The name of the Rapanui ghost Manu mea is well known (Métraux 1940: 318), cf. also Maori manu mea 'sacred bird (presented in incantations and ancient songs)'.
The hill Tararaina is located not far from the hill Puna Pau. I read this name as Tara raa hina 'The eclipsed sun – the moon', cf. Rarotongan tara 'the two points or horns of the new moon'. According to W. Liller (1993: 124), the summit of this hill was within a few tenths of a degree of the direction of the setting equinoctial sun.
It can be said with confidence that this modern observation is a repetition of ancient ones. A segment of the Great Santiago tablet (Hv 12) is presented in fragment 2. It reads as follows: 6-4-4-24 45-46 4 (or 5, or 35) 69 51 61 52 25 5 49 12 44 14 6 5-15 6 76 14 5 74 27 29 6-15 15 56 17 A atuaatua ai Puna atua (?) (pau?). Moko, ke. Hina. Hiti-Hua. Ati Mau(nga) ika ta hau. A atua roa, a vie Haua, atua Tinirau rua. Hora roa po, tea 'The deity/place Puna Pau (?) ['The Old Spring']. (The sun) is setting. (The place) Hina [Tara raa hina]. (The deity) Hitirau. It is the felling of the mountain (consisting) of "hats" (for statues). The great goddess and the woman Haua [almost the full moon] (and) the god Tinirau are disappearing (setting). It is the month Hora-nui [September/October], (and the length of) a night (is equal to the length of) a day.' So, the sunset on the day of vernal equinox (for example, in 1638) is described. Here the Polynesian god Tinirau plays a role of the sun (cf. Rapanui ki te tini te raa 'zenith'). Such records were didactic texts in some instances.
The following words are significant: cf. Rapanui momoko 'to hide oneself', keke 'to set (of the sun)', and tea 'white'. The name of the ghost Hitirau (Hiti Rau) is written as Hiti Hua (cf. Rapanui hiti 'to rise; to appear', Hawaiian hua 'swelling, growing, and maturity of vegetables', Maori mahua 'lifted' and Samoan malaulau 'to grow vigorously').
The ceremonial platform Ahu Huri a Urenga is located not far from the hill Puna Pau. I translate this place name as 'The ceremonial platform 'Darkness – Generation''. It may be associated with the ghost Hauriuri. Perhaps, this place and its environs were an ancient religious centre where natives observed the sun during eclipses.
A segment of the tablet Tahua (Ab 4 = Av 4) is presented in fragment 3. It reads as follows: 19 6 46 4-32 8 45-46-45 62-4 12 33 4-32 7 50 62-21 Kuhana: atua ua Matua Punapu toti ika ua, atua ua tuu Hi Toko 'The spirits (are here): the deity/dwelling 'The father-the spring [= Puna Pau] that is attached to the hill/dwelling', the deity/dwelling 'The Dawn (and) the Paddle come'.'
Old Rapanui kuhana 'spirit' is comparable with Rapanui kuhane and kuhanga 'spirit'. Old Rapanui hi means 'dawn; solar rays'. The term toko is the designation of a ceremonial paddle (ao, rapa) in the rongorongo records (Rjabchikov 1998-1999: figure 3). I also take into account Maori toko 'sacred pole or stick set up in honour of a deity'.
The obtained data attest that two ghosts, 'The Dawn' and 'The Paddle', were connected with the place Puna Pau. In accordance with the manuscript E (Barthel 1978: 264), Te Amira and Te Ao were guardian spirits at the place Puna a Pau, they went by a way of Varivari and Takotako. The first name reads Te (H)amu raa 'The Dawn', cf. Rapanui hamu 'to dawn'. The second name means 'The Paddle'. So, the same pair of the deities is mentioned in the folklore text. They are the personifications of Light and Darkness in fact. I suppose that the name of the spirit Hi is preserved in the place name Tuu arihi. It reads Tuu Ari Hi 'The clear (sun) comes after the dawn' correctly. Old Rapanui ari 'clear' is comparable with Tahitian ariari 'clear'.
The place name Uo titeve is known. Here Titeve is the name of a ghost (Métraux 1940: 370). It can be compared with the name of the deity Tive (the alternation of the sounds e/i is possible). On the other hand, Rapanui titeve and titeve taratara are fish names (Randall and Cea Egaña 1984: 13). In this case, the god Titeve was connected with the ocean and sea creatures. I compare the form uo with Old Rapanui ua 'dwelling'. The last form is written down in the rongorongo texts containing place names and names of deities. According to the "Creation Chant" (Métraux 1940: 322), the personages Takoua and Tukouo produced the fish poopoo. Besides, the place name Uo takotako is known. I compare the forms ua and uo with Old Rapanui ua 'dwelling'. On this basis the report reads as follows: the place Tako (a place for the initiation) and the place Tuko (Tiko?) produced the fish poopoo. I take into account Maori tako 'common house for the tribe, especially for young men'. The first place is the village Orongo where the rite of initiation was conducted. In E. Best's opinion, the village of Orongo (O-Rongo) was named for Rongo, the deity of fertility (Best 1924: 139). The place Tuko (Tiko) is related to the statue Hoa-hakananaia from this village (now it is housed in the British Museum, London, U.K.). Hence, in the Easter Island beliefs, the religious activities of the priests of this village were aimed at increasing fertility in different forms. Interestingly, the names Varivari and Tuko (Tiko) bear on this statue decorated with petroglyphs (glyphs) 1 tiko (cf. the name of the god-creator Tiki), cf. also Rapanui vari and tiko 'menstruation'. Interestingy, the place Te Vare is located on a slope of the Rano Kau volcano (Knorozov 1963: 146). The name of Te Vare reads Te Vari because of the alternation of the sounds e/i, therefore Varivari and Te Vare (cf. Rapanui kovare 'placenta' < *ko vare/vari) are relevant to one and the same place.
Let us examine two parallel texts taken down on the London tablet (Kr 3/4) and on the Small Santiago tablet (Gr 2/3), see fragments 4 and 5:
1) 44-5-44-5 49 12 44 14 5-15 76 2 (= a reversed variant) 8 45-46 44 62-4 19 12 33 6 [a segment is damaged] 44-21 Ta-ati-ta-ati Mau(nga) ika ta hau. Atua roa, vie Hina uri. Matua Puna; Taha toti ki ika ua; a [atua] [a segment is damaged] Tako 'It is the felling of the mountain [Puna Pau] (consisting) of "hats" (for statues). The great goddess (and) the woman (called) 'The black Moon'. 'The father-the spring' [= Puna Pau]; this is the Frigate Bird attached to the hill/dwelling; the deity Tako ['The house for initiation'].'
The Frigate Bird is one of the personifications of Light. In the Tahitian language ta- is the causative prefix.
2) 44-5-44-5 49 12 44 14 5-15 76 2 (= a reversed variant) 8 45-46-45 44 62-4 19 12 33 6-4-24 44-21 6 44 Ta-ati-ta-ati Mau(nga) ika ta hau. Atua roa, vie Hina uri. Matua Punapu; Taha toti ki ika ua; a atua ai Tako a Taha 'It is the felling of the mountain [Puna Pau] (consisting) of "hats" (for statues). The great goddess (and) the woman (called) 'The black Moon'. 'The father-the spring' [= Puna Pau]; this is the Frigate Bird attached to the hill/dwelling; the deity Tako ['The house for initiation'] – the Frigate Bird.'
The name of the god Tako is also presented in texts on the Small Vienna tablet (Na 4) and on the tablet Keiti (Ev 2), see figure 10, fragments 1 and 2. They read as follows:
1) 6-4-32 44-21 15 44-21 15 A atua ua Tako roa, Tako roa 'The deity/dwelling 'The great Tako, the great Tako'.'
2) 6-4 44-21 15 44-21 A atua Tako roa, Tako 'The deity 'The great Tako, Tako'.'
The tablet Keiti contains the report about the place name Puna Pau on the same line (Ev 3), see fragment 3. It reads as follows: 6-4 8 45-46-45-46 62-4 44b 12 33 A atua Matua Punapuna; toti Tua ika ua 'The deity 'The father-the spring' [= Puna Pau]; this is 'The Turned (character)' attached to the hill/dwelling'.'
The ghost Tua is one of the personifications of Darkness. This demon is known by the names of Kava Tua and Kavakava a Tua in the Rapanui folklore records (Englert 1974: 137; Heyerdahl 1976: 117; Métraux 1940: 366).previous next

UpWorkPTR Scam Review
by David Harris
"UpWorkPTR", found at UpWorkPTR.com, one of the worst 'Paid To Read' scams out there. There is no doubt about it. The sea of online complaints I found told much about their shady practices.
You must beware any paid to read site that claims they will pay $50 to read one item.
The majority of honest sites offer 1 to 3 cents per email read.
Up Wor kPTR charges as much as $200 to join and that is also not right.
At the start, UpWorkPTR lets you accumulate your earnings and finds a way to suspend or shut down your account after all the hard work of having driven traffic to them on your dime.
Most people reached a high amount and even after they hit the ridiculous minimum payout limit of $20,000, UpWorkPTR did not pay them and there was no one available for customer service.
When you try to get your money UpWorkPTR often claims you had not reached the minimum payout and brazenly suggest you upgrade to their next level.
You wonder in bewilderment at the ludicrousness, I know, but there it is and UpWorkPTR still keeps the scam going, to everyone's astonishment. Several people have registered case grievances with the government/
I will say, though, if you learned how to make that much money through UpWorkPTR you can take what you learned, move on and apply it to something that actually works, but you shouldn't be denied your earnings for the work done.
I can believe the thousands of complaints I found when researching UpWorkPTR that stated they scammed each and every one of those who complained.
This is an infamous scam and I am strongly warning you not to get involved with UpWorkPTR.
They are among the worst, most disreputable paid to read company out there. Stay away from UpWorkPTR and paid to read scams like it.
Thanks for reading…

Blog moved to www.ntcoder.com/bab
Hi guys I've moved my blog to www.ntcoder.com/bab. I've stopped updating this blog.
Breakpoints in Windbg
WinDbg rocks. 🙂 Setting breakpoints is very easy in WinDbg. The command to set a breakpoint is 'bp'. So if you want to break whenever a dll is loaded into a process then type in following command…
bp kernel32!LoadLibraryW
So to trigger this breakpoint attach 'notepad.exe' to the debugger and then type in this command. Now let the app run (press F5). Goto File->Open (this will trigger a definite LoadLibrary :)). Now have a look in WinDbg which will have following output…
Breakpoint 0 hit kernel32!LoadLibraryW: 00000000`76e50420 4533c0 xor r8d,r8d
To view call stack, type in 'kpn'. I'll blog more on breakpoints as and when I get time. Happy debugging. 🙂
Run to cursor feature in Visual Studio
This is one cool feature of Visual Studio which I very much like, the shortcut for this feature makes life even more easy. 🙂 So what does this feature do?
Imagine we're are stuck in a heavy duty for loop and you want to immediately break after the for loop but don't want to traverse through the entire for loop iteration, move your cursor to the line below the for loop (of course it must be a c++ statement) and press Ctrl + F10. The result of this action is that the debugger will 'execute' (no it won't skip) the entire for loop and break at the line that you chose.
I used to use this feature frequently so I guess this will help save sometime for you too.

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 75,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 3 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 4 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 314 posts. There were 7 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 206kb.
The busiest day of the year was January 7th with 571 views. The most popular post that day was How to use SendInput?.
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were en.wordpress.com, google.com, stackoverflow.com, codeproject.com, and social.msdn.microsoft.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for typedef array, cmfcpropertygridctrl, sendinput, visual studio 2008 "list control" clistctrl -listbox, and mfc feature pack.

Mandatory styles for a child dialog
If you are creating a dialog with style WS_CHILD then make sure you also have DS_CONTROL and DS_CONTROLPARENT enabled for the dialog.
The reason being that the dialog at a time is a control (embedded inside another window) and a control parent (housing other controls). If these styles are not specified calls to GetWindowRect and then a subsequent ScreenToClient will return top co-ordinates in negative leading to some confusion.
Find an element in a list
Recently I worked on one C# project. Got to say it's hell lot easier to code :-). Found something cool while working on template based List class.
Guess that you got a list of employees stored in List, so how will you locate a particular employee by his name or based on certain employee attributes: like list all employees having salary greater than a particular employee. So our employee class will look like…
class Employee { public bool IsSalaryGt(Object Emp) { return ((Emp as Employee).m_Sal > m_Sal); } private int m_Sal; // Init to some val } class Main { private List<Employee> m_Emps; //So to locate all employees having salary greater than me we will write void ListAllEmps_EarningMoreThanMe(Employee Me) { List< Employee > Emps = m_Emps.FindAll(Me.IsSalaryGt); } }
How to show "Open with" dialog?
It's quite handy to show the standard windows open with dialog, which lists all installed applications along with a browse button. In Windows XP there is no straight forward way of doing this.
In Windows Vista onwards Microsoft has provided a shell API for this purpose. It's called SHOpenWithDialog.
Some sample code (couldn't test this though since I'm on XP at home)…
OPENASINFO Info = { 0 }; Info.oaifInFlags = OAIF_EXEC | OAIF_ALLOW_REGISTRATION; SHOpenWithDialog(NULL, &Info);
A screenshot of the dialog in XP…

Places of Attraction in Verona
Posted by mehwish9 in General, Grammar, Italy, To Do, Top Tourists Destination, Tourism, Tourism Industry on July 21, 2012
Located in Northern Italy, Verona is a major tourist's attraction. It is popular because of its artistic heritage, shows and annual fairs. Verona has also been named as UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the historical buildings located in it. Verona is a fascinating city and offers tourists with some of the best attractions in the world including Roman Arena. Some of these remarkable attractions are described below:
Cathedral of Verona
Cathedral of Verona is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. It is one of the worth-seeing attractions of the city and consists of a number of buildings like a library, bishop's house and cloister. The entrance of the church is quite appealing as it is double arched. Interiors are also fascinating and attract thousands of visitors. Current appearance of the church is actually the restoration which dates back to 15th century. The interiors consist of a nave and two aisles which are divided by tall pillars made with red Verona marble. These pillars also support Gothic arcades. Having same style, first three chapels show the beautiful artwork done by skilled Veronese artists.
Casa di Giulietta
Casa di Giulietta is also known as Juliet's house which is visited by a large number of tourists because of the fame of Juliet which was a character of love story written by Shakespeare. It is the most loved attraction in spite of the fact that Juliet is purely a fictional character. The main attraction of this building is the balcony on which Juliet is said to have spent many hours. Owned by Dal Cappello Family, this is a 12th century building having Gothic doors and attractive paintings. If you ever get a chance to visit this building, don't miss to see the bronze statue of Juliet standing in courtyard.
Arena di Verona
Having a capacity of 25000 people, Arena di Verona is the largest Roman amphitheatre in Northern Italy. It is famous world wide because of concerts and opera performances given here. It was constructed early in the first century AD. The round frontage of the building was actually made of pink and white limestone but after the earthquake of 1117, its stone was dug up to use again in other buildings.
Castelvecchio which is also known as "Old Castle" was built in 1354-56 and served to protect Verona from invading armies. This castle belonged to Verona's medieval family named della Scala family. In 1925, this castle converted from a military fortress and now it houses a museum. The museum boasts of the work of Pisanello, Tintoretto and Veronese along with jewelry, weapons and sculptures. The castle is also visited by people to see the signatures of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa. He made these signatures when he was in charge of renovating the museum between 1959 and 1973.
Basilica San Zeno Maggiore
It is the one of the most attractive churches of Verona and a fine example of Romanesque structural design. This beautiful church is devoted to the benefactor saint of Verona, Saint Zeno. It is believed that his ashes are conserved within basilica. Basilica is featured with a large rose window which is also known as "Wheel of Fortune". The attractive frontage of this church dominates the large square in front of building. Interior of this church is also splendid and remarkable having fresco-clad walls. Church's fine bronze doors are also worth-seeing.
These were some of the most prominent places to see in Verona but the list of Verona's attractions is not limited to these sites only as there is a lot more to see in this wonderful place.

Long Knives
Many years ago I worked with a man who before taking up a graduate degree in math at a German university had been a martial arts enthusiast. He had a very slight limp and one day told me the story behind it. While walking along a beach in Honduras with his wife and a British couple the foursome were attacked by a huge man armed with a machete. My friend had a "little camping machete" for defense and seeing the fight would soon go against his shorter weapon stepped inside his assailant's blade arc and took out his assailant's arm while receiving in exchange the blow which produced the limp. The Honduran police later congratulated him for subduing a notorious local criminal and took both him and the seriously injured suspect to the hospital.
The story illustrates how in a sword fight, as in politics, the combatants often attack each other's extremities (sword hand, extended foot, arm) first before venturing into body strike range. To get into killing range you must often risk being killed yourself. So sword fighters usually wait for their foes to weaken or an opening to develop.
The most singular thing about Donald Trump's wiretap accusation against Barack Obama is how he's refusing to play the game of extremities — losing a Flynn here and getting a Sessions paralyzed there — and getting right into lethal range. Trump's gone right past Schumer, ignored the surrogates and gone straight for the former president himself.
The Sunday Guardian writes some believe Trump's key mistake was believing "in mid-November ... that it would be a statesmanlike gesture to (in effect) pardon Hillary Clinton." He must have expected a reciprocal courtesy. The next thing he felt were his digits being sheared away.
Acting through their contacts in the incoming administration, the Clinton machine ... 'dismissed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn ... [and] ensured that the green light got flashed to launch an attack on another known foe of Hillary Clinton', Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whose sought after resignation would energize the Clinton machine to move on to their next targets, Counsellors Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Bannon.
Trump's response to the finger-lopping campaign was not to respond proportionately but to attack Obama himself. CBS News writes: "The White House ... is calling for an investigation into the previous administration's surveillance activities."
"Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," read a statement from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued Sunday morning. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016."
On Saturday morning, Mr. Trump sent out a flurry of tweets claiming, with no evidence, that Obama ordered a wiretap on him at Trump Tower during the lead-up to the 2016 election. He called the alleged action "Nixon/Watergate," saying Obama is a "bad (or sick) guy."
This escalation represents a real threat to Obama. Suddenly everything is out of control. Nobody would have minded much if Trump had gone after one of Obama's henchmen — which is probably what was expected — but none can foresee how an exchange of blades between principals will end. It is safe to say, however, that unless the combatants disengage, someone will get hurt. It will be a terrible moment for American political civility when a king lies on the political floor. The whole point of a peaceful transition of power is to prevent a clash between kings. Yet the very tragedy the electoral process is intended to prevent is happening before our eyes.
In such a fight anything can happen. "What happened to the rest of your companions on the beach?" I remember asking my German friend. "Well the rest remained rooted to the spot, unable to speak," he said. "As for me, I was in a place by myself; in a time by myself. I remember the water sparkling around our ankles as we fought. One part of my mind could not help admiring how so very picturesque it was. I remember my opponents eyes especially. They were yellow, like he was on drugs."
"Then I sensed, more than reasoned that I would die unless I ended this," he said. "So I stepped in and struck his arm. I didn't even feel the hit on my knee." Of course if it had gone another way my friend would never have felt anything at all, not after the first incomprehensible seconds.

October 02, 2011

The demonstrations will illustrate an adaptable, affordable and flexible solution for transporting uncompressed or JPEG2000 compressed HD-SDI, SD-SDI and DVB-ASI video protocols, as well as providing dedicated native Ethernet services.

It is designed to work transparently in SONET/SDH, IP Core and Ethernet environments, and supports simultaneous interconnections between the environments to maximize media connectivity. The MD8000 family serves as a multiplexer; combining video, audio, telephony and file-based data signals into one or more optical links. It also functions as a switch, to allow individual services to be extracted from incoming signals and distributed to one or more outbound signals. Its IP switching functionality is similar to what legacy video cross-point switchers offer, yet it provides the added benefit of non-blocking to allow complete utilization of all available bandwidth.
The MD8000 family addresses the need for carriers to connect directly to native Ethernet/IP networks for long-haul, multiple-wavelength transport links, which results in significant cost savings.
The entire Media Links portfolio is patent-pending and highly adaptable for a variety of transport technologies including IP, RF/Microwave, OTN, DWDM and dark fiber.

Based on logical partitioning of the application, customers of large operators are able to see and access their respective logical / physical resources and perform their daily operations on their own "sub-network."

Should I make a birth plan?
"If birth never goes according to plan what's the point in making one?" is something I am often asked.
And I'm afraid there isn't a straight up answer to this one. Whist YES, one half of me believes you should make one, the other half of me says NO.
The subject of birth plans isn't quite so black and white as it would first seem.
If you don't write down what you would like to happen in an ideal birth scenario, then nobody is going to know what you want. And if the people caring for you don't know want you want how can they help you?
The other thing is, if you dont have an idea of want you would like during birth. Your motivation to take the necessary steps to help you get there will be missing.
On the flip side to that. If you write a plan, believe it wholeheartedly to come true and your baby has others ideas. There's a chance you'll be left feeling disappointed. And no-one wants that either.
The way we teach making a birth plan is different to most schools of thought.
Because birth, like life doesn't come with a guarantee the contrarian in me wants to tell you to tear up that plan!
You see for some of us plans can make you feel rigid, like you have to stick to them to get the desired result. This is especially the case if you naturally think in absolute terms. Anything that takes you off plan into the grey unknown, can make you feel uncomfortable and out of control.
Let's say your going to a dear friends wedding, it's a few hours drive away. Due to work commitments you arrange to drive up that morning and set your alarm for 6am. You make a plan to ensure that you get to the wedding destination at least two hours early. This will give you time to check in to hotel and freshen up before the service.
You plan to get up, have breakfast, check you have everything packed and leave in plenty of time. If all goes well, you'll get there for around 10am.
If something goes awry, say you sleep through the alarm, the car doesn't start or maybe the main road you want is shut due to roadworks. Then all of a sudden the plan you made has failed, leaving you feeling let down, disappointed and out of control. You feel like this whether it's something that you could have done or somebody else should have done. Fact is, the plan has not worked.
Here's the thing with making birth plans.
They tend to feel quite rigid and if X, Y, and Z hasn't happen to get the desired result you can be left feeling deflated. Unfortunately, birth just has too many variables for plans made in this way. Your mindset needs to be able to adapt and your thinking needs to flexible. This way you can ride the waves of uncertainty childbirth brings.
Because we never know exactly what's going to happen.
Feeling capable, knowing you can meet whatever is presented to you on the day is a much healthier place to be than focusing only on what you would like to happen.
So out with the rigid plan and in with the capable mindset and, of course, the tools to ride the waves of uncertainty.
We like the word intentions here at PBHQ it's just much calmer feel to it and allows you to be more flexible and evolve with the circumstances you're in. Setting an intention to be, calm, confident, capable and courageous is about saying, 'I know I have the emotional resilience and coping skills to manage my birth positively.
With this mindset you just evolve and ride those waves of labour.
Knowing you have this capable mindset and the necessary tools in place is a much healthier place to be as you approach, plan and prepare for your baby's arrival.
Let me know have you made any mindful birth intentions for your upcoming birth. Ideally, how would you like to feel in labour? Or maybe you made plans with a previous birth experience, how did that go for you? I'd really love to know.
