BEREA, Ky – The Mountaineers won their third straight game, defeating the Hiwassee Tigers, 83-75, at home.
The start of the first half proved difficult for the Mountaineers to find their rhythm offensively. Hiwassee came out strong, hitting a three-point field goal on their first possession of the game. Berea kicked off their scoring with a free-throw by Dyllan Harper. After another made shot by the Tigers and a missed attempt for the Mountaineers on the other end, Corey Wise came up with a steal and was fouled on a lay-up attempt. Wise hit his free-throw bringing the score to 5-2 in favor of the Tigers. The Mountaineers were then able to swing things in their favor with a field goal by Wise, followed by a three-pointer for Bizzle Brown, which was assisted by Anthony Myrks. This gave Berea their first lead of the game, 7-5. Hiwassee was able to regain a two point lead after back-to-back field goals with 12:39 remaining in the half. Unsatisfied, Richard Parkerdrained a shot from behind the arc off of an assist from Shawn Williams, followed by a made lay-up for Wise, putting Berea back up 12-9. Hiwassee was able to hit another shot, bringing them within one, but Wise scored, giving Berea the three point advantage, 14-11. The Tigers then hit two shots, which gave them a one-point lead, 15-14. Then, Berea's Ethan Harris scored to put the Mountaineers back on top by one, but Hiwassee came back with a three-pointer to once again take the lead, 18-16, with 8:27 left in the half. Despite several more made shots by the Mountaineers, the Tigers held the lead for the remainder of the first half. Richard Parker hit a jump shot right before time expired in the half, which put Berea within 2, but the Mountaineers headed into the locker room down, 30-28. At the half, Corey Wise led Berea in points, with 12, while Parker had a team-high three rebounds and Myrks had two assists. Berea's largest lead of the half was three points, while Hiwassee led by eight.
Berea came out of halftime with strong shooting, tying the game at 30 almost immediately with a shot by Parker. Hiwassee was able to hit another three-pointer, but Wise hit a two-point field goal shortly after, keeping Berea within one, 33-32. From this point, both teams found their stride, contributing to the game's six ties and 11 lead changes. With the game tied at the 13:54 mark, a lay-up by Myrks gave Berea a two point advantage, 44-42. The Mountaineers held the lead until Hiwassee scored a basket with 9:42 remaining, once again putting them up by one, 48-47. Parker was then fouled, sinking his two free throws to give Berea another one point lead with 9:36 to play. A made shot by the Tigers put them up 50-49, but that would be the last time they held the lead for the remainder of the game. The Mountaineers really started to pull away with five minutes remaining, where they went up by 12, 70-58, after two made foul shots by Myrks and a three-pointer for Parker. Hiwassee tried to battle back, but the Mountaineers proved to be too much to handle, gaining their largest lead of 13 (75-62) after a made shot from beyond the arc for Bizzle Brown with 2:43 left to play in the game. The Tigers, once again, attempted to close the gap, but Berea matched their largest lead, 13, at the 2:00 mark, 77-64. At that point, the Tigers tried to rely on their three-point shooting and fouling to keep them in the game, getting the score to as close as six points, but they were unable to make a comeback because of clutch free throws from Parker and Myrks. The game ended with a final score of 83-75, Berea on top. Richard Parker led all scorers with 27 points, followed closely by Corey Wise, who had a career-high 20 points and also led the team with nine rebounds. Anthony Myrks had a team-high, nine assists.
The Mountaineers have now won three in a row. They will look to continue that streak at home on Tuesday, when they take on Kentucky Christian University. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00PM.

Microsoft is still struggling to convince its customers to upgrade from older versions of its desktop operating system to Windows 8, but a new strategy may help push reluctant Windows 7 users to make the jump straight to Windows 8.1. Sources speaking to The Verge claim Microsoft is experimenting with a free or cheap version of the OS called Windows 8.1 with Bing.
The Bing-powered OS would apparently offer pretty much the same experience as the full Windows 8.1 and come bundled with some of Microsoft's apps and services. The update would likely target Windows 7 users, but might also be offered as a cheap alternative for the company's PC manufacturing partners. The Verge notes that Microsoft is also considering a similar route with Windows Phone in an effort to bring more manufacturers on board.
Windows 8.1 with Bing is still just an experiment however, and there's no guarantee Microsoft will move forward with the project. Hopefully we'll learn more at the company's Build conference in April, where we also expect to see Windows Phone 8.1 finally unveiled.

PORT DEPOSIT - As construction workers begin shoring up a big section of the century-old retaining wall that has threatened to fall since February, there is concern among residents and officials in this Susquehanna River town that another section of the wall might also be in danger of tumbling.
"It's scary," said Lisa Von Brauen, who lives on Main Street, about a block from town hall and near High Street - where tons of the granite wall were removed in May to prevent it from falling on homes below.
"We hear a lot of cracking and popping in the wall at night. The house shakes. One night it woke my husband up," she said.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPad Help' started by edsarlo, Feb 3, 2011.
How do I transfer an eBook from the Kindle app to an iMac?
On you iMac.
Go to Amazon.com, from the menu on the left select Books then Kindle eBooks. Now you should have a bunch of Kindle related links near the top of the page just under the search bar. All the way to the right is Kindle Support. Select it.
On that page you will find a Kindle for Mac link. Go ahead and click on it and continue on that route until you have downloaded and installed the Kindle application on you iMac.
The first time you start the application it should ask you for your Amazon.com user and password. Or there will be an account setting in the menu, or something else. I forget. Point is you have to set it up so it can access your Amzon.com account.
Once you've doen that all the books you have bought from Amazon should show up in your archive page, just like they do on the iPad. Just select the ones you want to read and they will download to the iMac.
Hope that answers your question.


text: I floored it out of a red light last night going up a hill. Traction control had to engage a bit. All of a sudden, around 40 mph, the car says that I need to pull over because it needs service. Instead of pulling 320 kW, I was suddenly pulling more like 30 kW, (not enough to get me up the hill at 40 mph). I move to the right lane, and move into the shoulder while all the cars from the light are passing me. After 15 seconds or so, the warning goes away, and the car is like normal again. Any thoughts?

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 06 June, 2017: A 58 year old British woman successfully underwent surgery at Aster Hospital Mankhool to correct a birth defect and regained her ability to perform normal daily activities. Throughout her life, the patient struggled with mobility and found it difficult to execute certain movements such as going up the stairs, sitting cross legged or even stretching her legs.
Dr. Manjunatha G.S., Specialist Orthopedic Surgeon at Aster Hospital, diagnosed the patient with Developmental Dysplasia (dislocation) of the Hip, or dysplastic hip, on the right side. Further complicating her case, the friction caused by the abnormal and continuous gritting of the joint, caused the patient's right hip center to be 1.6cms above her left hip and also lead to the development of severe secondary osteoarthritis. The congenital condition, which is usually diagnosed at birth and early stages in life, had gone undetected throughout the patient's life, until the team at Aster discovered the cause of the patient's discomfort.
Commenting on the case, Dr. Manjunatha said: "Dysplastic hip is the most common congenital hip disorder in children and generally leads to secondary osteoarthritis of the hip joint at a very young age. However, it is uncommon for the condition to go undetected for so many years. At age 58, we diagnosed the patient with dysplastic hip after her condition had drastically deteriorated and hindered her daily life activities. By performing the total hip replacement surgery and limb correction we successfully managed to alleviate the patient's pain and enabled her to regain the ability to perform daily tasks and functions."
The surgery involved minimally invasive incisions and the patient was able to walk in less than 24 hours without experiencing any pain. As part of Aster Hospital's post-op protocols, the patient also underwent mild sessions of physiotherapy and was able to walk without any support or walking aids by the third week post-surgery.
Commenting on her recovery the patient said: "Throughout my life, I experienced discomfort while performing simple activities like going up the stairs where I would always lean on one side to climb up. At the time, I used to think that this was completely normal, but I was very lucky to find Dr Manjunatha and his team at Aster Hospital, who made an effort to detect the root cause of the problem and diagnosed the real reason behind the discomfort that I was facing. Thanks to the team at Aster, I am now able to perform daily tasks with ease and pain-free."
Dysplastic hip occurs in two forms, namely partial subluxation and complete dislocation. It is more likely for the condition to be diagnosed when it occurs in a single joint, however in the patient's case; it remained undiagnosed until the age of 58. Dysplastic hip condition is generally recognized and corrected at one of the following stages , :

To Teacher With Love
By Lara Chin
To teacher with love,
you are our star
that shines from afar,
giving us light,
showing us the road ahead,
encouraging us not to look back.
To teacher with love,
you have taught us everything
in every way
to make us who we are are today
Teacher, you have always been there
when times were unfair,
we were crying,
you were comforting,
telling us life's like that,
it's not that bad.
To teacher with love,
we thank you ever so much,
when the time comes for us to part,
we'll still keep in touch,
you've made our day
and now it's our turn-

One of the most amusing stocking stuffers this Christmas can be found in a salvage store west of Boston called Building 19. There, in Aisle 5, next to a cardboard fireplace decorated with stockings, stands a pile of coal. For 10 cents a lump, shoppers can buy a reminder of leaner holidays earlier in the century, when coal supposedly served as a seasonal rebuke to errant children.
Last weekend, two silver-haired women standing in front of the coal laughed and bought a few lumps for joke gifts. One said, "My mother always warned us about this before Christmas."
The store's owner, "Ol' Man Ellis," offers a similar explanation in a humorous newspaper flier. He writes, "In my day, if children didn't behave themselves, all they got in their Christmas stocking was a lump of coal." (Good children were rewarded with the luxury of an orange.)
Ah, the joys of Christmases Past.
Continuing his mock-curmudgeon act, "Ol' Man Ellis" good-naturedly teases today's indulgent parents who "stand in line for hours so they can shower the insolent ingrates with expensive gifts! Rock-and-roll music and violent video games! Dangerous skateboards and spooky little hairy robots!"
As if to illustrate his point, the same Sunday paper that includes the Building 19 ads also carries a toy-store flier, this one telling a story of Christmas Present. Credit cards in hand, parents can fill shopping carts with everything from a $29.97 Amazing Amy doll ("she says over 15,000 phrases to respond to her mommy's actions") to a $209.99 Power Wheels Xtreme Machine, an off-road vehicle for ages 3 and up. Then there's the $89.99 e-mail kit for the 8-and-up set, plus $59.99 video games. What a contrast to the orange-in-a-stocking era!
There may be no faster way to get children rolling their eyes and sighing deeply than to utter the words, "In my day..." or "When I was your age..." Every generation has its own definition of hardship. In the past, grandparents' tales of walking six miles - or was it 10? - to school in snowstorms competed with stories of rising at 3 a.m. to help with chores.
In the future, a new generation of grandparents can treat grandchildren to their own tales of simpler times. "When I was your age," they might begin, "we had only one television set. It was black and white, and there was no remote. If we wanted to change channels - there were only three - we had to walk over to the set. We also had only one telephone."
Imagine the response: "Only one TV! And one phone! Were you poor?" "Not at all," the grandparents will reply, smiling. "That's the way most people lived back then, in the Dark Ages before cell phones and computers."
Those of us whose parents and grandparents lived through the Depression have heard firsthand their stories of hardship and deprivation, told matter-of-factly and without self-pity. But for the children following, who barely know what coal looks like and for whom the Depression is little more than a page in a history textbook, the idea of such austerity and hard times, including such modest Christmases, defies imagination.
As the economy continues its robust march, a sense of entitlement runs strong. It has become our civic duty to shop till we drop, and to spend, spend, spend. The day after Thanksgiving, merchants held hopeful fingers to the wind, trying to estimate what their cash registers will ring up in holiday sales. This year's figures for November and December could reach a record $184 billion.
Where would the economy be if most people lived within their means, or even below, the way some grandparents of the orange-in-your-stocking generation still do?
No one wants a return to the lean times of the past. But in the midst of sustained prosperity, all age groups, especially those of us in the post-coal generations, could do worse this holiday than to reflect on a hard, dusty black lump. It remains a reality check, a humbling reminder of an earlier generation's modest beginning, and a symbol of a century's considerable progress.

Vanessa Redgrave to appear in Call the Midwife
- Bang Showbiz
- 19 May 2014
'Call the Midwife' narrator Vanessa Redgrave will make an appearance in this year's Christmas special as an older Jennifer Worth
Vanessa Redgrave will appear on-screen in 'Call the Midwife'.
The 77-year-old actress, who narrates the series as a mature Jennifer Worth, will make her first appearance on the show in this year's Christmas special.
Filming on the fourth series has just begun and will see the introduction of two new characters, Nurse Phyllis Crane, played by 'Lark Rise to Candleford' star Linda Bassett and Nurse Barbara Gilbert, played by 'Fresh Meat' actress Charlotte Ritchie.
Producer Pippa Harris said: "We're all delighted to be welcoming Vanessa Redgrave on screen, having hugely enjoyed her narration of the series to date.
"It's also terrific that [show creator and executive producer] Heidi Thomas has created two wonderful new characters for the series, and that we're fortunate enough to have Linda Bassett and Charlotte Ritchie joining our regular and much-loved team at Nonnatus House."
Heidi added: "The medical, social and emotional stories at the heart of 'Call the Midwife' continue to inspire and compel me. The Nonnatus House nurses and midwives feel like my best-loved friends."
Vanessa has voiced an older Jennifer Worth on the show since its inception, while Jessica Raine played a younger version of the character before quitting at the end of the third series earlier this year.
The new series will take place in 1960 and depict big changes to London's East End, where the show is set.

Skunks have a pair of specialized sacs located in their anus; each sac is connected to the outside by a small duct that opens just inside the anus. The sacs are merely pouches that store an extremely foul smelling secretion produced by glands that line the sacs.
There are over 30,000 species of spiders worldwide, and most of these spiders are venomous. Most spiders are unable to produce medically-significant envenomations, however, because of their small mouthparts that are unable to penetrate the skin. The two groups of spiders responsible for most medically-significant spider bites include the widow spiders (including the black widow spider) and the recluse spiders (including the brown recluse).
The suspensory ligament supports the fetlock and protects it from hyperextension (i.e., dropping too low) at exercise. The ligament begins at its attachment to the back of the upper cannon bone in both the fore and hindlimbs.
Taurine is a type of amino acid, and amino acids form the main constituents of all proteins. Taurine is exclusively found in animal-based proteins.
Bird proofing your home is a great way to help keep your bird safe and healthy. After all, your bird's cage is its house and the confines of your home represent the bird's environment.
There are several options available for keeping your dog safe from the dangers of roaming. There are some pros and cons to consider with invisible fences.
When choosing a dog, potential pet owners often consider acquiring a pup with a pedigree vs. a mixed breed. In order to make a more educated choice, it is good to know a little about what makes a pure breed so 'pure' as well as what 'mutts' have to offer. Dogs of pedigree can be wonderful pets or service dogs, so avoiding inherited medical problems is important.
Therapeutic ultrasound is used as a treatment modality (method) to exert thermal, mechanical, and chemical effects on the treated tissues to enhance and facilitate healing. Physical therapists have used therapeutic ultrasound on human patients since the 1940s, and veterinarians have used it on animals since the 1970's.
An esophagostomy tube is a small rubber tube that enters the esophagus through a surgical incision on the side of the neck. This allows food you to place food directly into the esophagus so that it can flow down into the stomach. The feeding tube is not placed directly into the stomach.
A pharyngostomy tube is a small rubber tube that enters the skin through a small incision in the side of the neck. The tube enters the esophagus, through the pharynx (back of the throat), allowing food to bypass the mouth and be delivered to the stomach. The pharyngostomy tube does not go all the way into the stomach because of the risk of complications that can occur.

Entering into a business relationship is not easy. It involves trust, mutual understanding and some sacrifice in control. When it comes to hiring an outside security firm, your instincts as a decision-maker should kick in. What are the positives? What are the negatives? What is the impact on the bottom line?
And while those questions are great thought-starters, as you progress in your selection there are some very specific questions you should be asking any potential security partners.
Trevor Smith, our Executive Vice President, outlined these questions in a recent interview with WatchIT. Here are his recommendations:
- Does your potential solutions provider understand your industry? Depending on what field you play on, there will be different compliance and regulatory requirements. A provider that does not need a learning curve to understand your industry can put you at ease.
- Does your potential solutions provider understand the user? Your employees remaining efficient and productive is a priority. You'll want to make sure a solutions provider understands what a work day looks like and the best ways to keep them working at their best.
- Is your potential solutions provider a "cookie-cutter" operation or customized? Not every security issue can fit into a single solution, so before you circle that square, make sure it is right for your company.
- Can we go for a test ride? The best way to find out if a provider is right for you is to work with them. What types of process does it all involve? What types of technologies will they be using? These are all things you can find out in a free trial phase.
- Does your potential solution provider have references? You wouldn't hire someone without checking on one or two references, so prior to entering into a business relationship, check what work they've done.
Again, it's not easy to enter into any business relationship, but these questions serve as a good starting point to figuring out what solution provider is right for you.

How to Help a Grieving Friend: 11 Things to Do When You're Not Sure What to Do
by Megan Devine
Licensed clinical counselor, writer and grief advocate (as published in Huffington Post, 11/25/13)
I've been a therapist for more than 10 years. I worked in social services for the decade before that. I knew grief. I knew how to handle it in myself, and how to attend to it in others. When my partner drowned on a sunny day in 2009, I learned there was a lot more to grief than I'd known.
Many people truly want to help a friend or family member who is experiencing a severe loss. Words often fail us at times like these, leaving us stammering for the right thing to say. Some people are so afraid to say or do the wrong thing, they choose to do nothing at all. Doing nothing at all is certainly an option, but it's not often a good one. Read More »

Children are incredibly resilient.
I have worked as a school social worker for two years in rural high schools. Many of the problems I see every day are the "typical teenage angst". They are stressed about school, annoyed with their parents, in love with their significant other, and intrigued with the teenage drama of it all. It never matters how insignificant it seems to us, who trudge through adult land, to them this is it. This is BIG. This is life altering. They cry, they rage, they speak softly, they laugh and when the bell rings they go to class.
I have also worked with those teenagers who have lost a mother, brother, grandfather, and sister. I have seen teenagers who are seriously depressed because of a traumatic experience. The teenagers who are worried because their mother is drinking again or their parents are in the middle of a divorce and forcing them to choose sides. I have watched as a teenager struggles with thoughts of suicide. The ones that break my heart the most are those that take the adult responsibilities on their small young shoulders and feel that there is no other option. Sometimes there is not any. And when the bell rings they traipse off to class.
Because to them the bell signals the end of a session, the end of the support they receive weekly for forty-five minutes, the time to return to the real world. It is amazing to watch them transform themselves back into the carefree child that everyone expects them to be. And they go to class because that is their job and what is expected of them. We as adults do not want to hear the excuses for them not doing well in school, acting out behaviorally, and being unable to concentrate. It does not matter what is going on at home or within their social networks. We expect them to succeed because well that's their job.
And they do. The majority of them do not commit suicide. They go on to become productive members of society. They go to college, have careers, get married and start families. Because children are resilient. They will take on the worst of what the world has to offer. The stuff adults can choose to walk away from. And they make it.
I talked to a student one day who came into my office upset because her parents had separated again. She was mad because she knew that through all this upheaval, the moving to a different home, the fighting over when she can see what parent, the stress that they had no money, in a month her parents would reunite. I asked her how she handled this grown up situation with such poise and dignity. She said, "Because I have to. What choice do I have?" And the bell rang and she went to class.
My, how amazing our children are.

What is a Powered Industrial Forklift?
A powered industrial truck is defined as any mobile power-propelled truck used to carry, push, pull, lift, stack or tier materials. Powered industrial trucks can be ridden or controlled by a walking operator. As OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration) continues to prioritize forklift operator training and compliance, fewer companies are willing to take any chance of having uncertified operators in their workplace. Our beginner training program is designed for the inexperienced operator to give them the theoretical, classroom style instruction and practical, hands-on training they need to meet the basic operational and safety requirements to be certified under OSHA's standards.
OSHA's new powered Industrial Truck Operator Training Standard (1910.178) imposes strict and detailed training requirements for forklift operators. The new standards require that anyone who operates a forklift, receive classroom and hands-on training, in addition to a performance evaluation every three years. Employees hired after December 1 1999, must have forklift training certification completed before they can operate any powered industrial truck.

Oh, hey. I appreciate you wanting to know who the heck I am. Let me see if I can sum it up: I'm a stay-at-home dad, and an artist with full blown ADHD. This blog will be a collection of all of those things.
- Art gave me a vocation.
- Being a dad gave me purpose.
- Adult ADHD gave everything else a colorful, often frustrating seasoning.
Over the last few years my wife and I traveled the world to make a documentary that will be seen released in 2014 called The Wireless Generation, inspired by the six years I spent working full time for a company while traveling from Seattle to Texas, Boston, Spain, Central America, Colombia and more. It's a film about people who took their careers online, and how that changed the way they spent their most valuable asset – their time. I'm an inherently anxious guy who has to work a little harder than some to stay present and positive. Thankfully I married well, so between my super adventurous and brilliant wife and our kids, they keep me just outside my comfort zone enough to make sure I am never bored, and always learning. If I'm doing this blog correctly, it's should be a celebration of these awesome kids and my growth as a father, husband and artist. Laughs that occur are most often at my expense, and that's okay. I'm happy you're here, and I hope you'll follow along.

Their Superbeer is produced and distributed in line with the Open Source principles of making the recipe available and realizable by all, like some works of Conceptual Art. But as we know, a commodity being free doesn't mean it can't be sold. What it does mean is that it cannot be enclosed in the thicket of proprietary regulations that ruin it for everybody else. Superflex are known for superimposing the methods and cultures of other disciplines (engineering, urbanism, development) onto an art/activist context. The symbolic provocation of Superbeer is welcome, and we look forward to seeing it on the Supermarket shelves. - Marina Vishmidt

"Professor Marston and the Wonder Women" looks great! Yes, there was a lot of bondage depicted in early WW cartoons! Oh, that lasso of truth!ReplyDelete
I am definitely looking forward to the first two, but you are right, the last trailer is quite bizarre!ReplyDelete
which part? When she feeds her lover eggs, or the fact an amphibian mutant is her lover? :)Delete
All of it! And I usually like weird things, but that one doesn't look like one I'd enjoy.
I'm off to catch my flight in a few short hours, so wanted to stop by and say toodles. I'll only be online in short bursts, but will try to get my visits in here when I can. Didn't want you to think I disappeared without a word ♥
Oooh, have fun with the family! Hope you give Mariah a vacation to remember forever :) We shall miss you when you're not here!Delete
Sitting in the hotel lobby for HOURS waiting for our room to be ready. Dahlink, I am so friggin exhausted I could almost strangle them here. Paid for early check in (our flight got in at 6 am) yet they are saying it could be until 4pm before we get a room. Tis not a good start to the vacay. But on the bright side, I feel like it can only go up from here :)Delete
Da eff, why isn't the room already ready? Or are they kicking someone out to cater for you? :) You should go out and explore the city while you're waiting. Wait? Where are you exactly?Delete
That Professor Marsten film is something I would really like to watch!
Almost Stylish
it is very unusual and also quite opposed to Wonder Woman's feminist fans' attitudesDelete
Alpha looks good. Would be interesting to see that when it comes out. However, I think I'm still digesting the current wonder woman to fully appreciate any more from her at the moment...ReplyDelete

The survey, conducted by NetValue, noted that as the number
of households connected to the Internet continues rising in China,
the online behavior of women is becoming an increasingly important
factor to marketers and e-commerce players.
Compared to men, women prefer to visit community, medical/health
and "everyday life" Web sites, the study said. In China, 31.4 percent of
women used instant messaging protocols compared to just 18.9 percent
of men. And, 6.1 percent used chat, versus 2.7 percent of men.
The average time connected to the Internet and the number of sessions per
user are
almost identical for men and women, NetValue said. Interestingly, men
visited 73.9 percent more domains, while women viewed 25.3 percent more
unique pages than males.
The study concluded that women are more likely to purchase online and
Internet shopping malls. The study noted that popular shopping
sites for women during March were 8848.net.cn and 800buy.com.cn.
Women displayed 25.5 percent more pages than men and spent 18.4 percent
longer at these sites. Additionally, the percentage of male and female
visiting e-commerce sites was close, with 59.3 percent of the women and
58 percent of men. Of these visitors, NetValue said, women were 15.8
percent more likely to enter into a secure connection.

I got an opportunity to try out the full version of NDepend. You can read a lot about it elsewhere, but I always like to look under the hood and write about it from my own perspective. I have used some free tools before, namely FxCop and StyleCop, so I'd also like to do a little comparison as well.
Let's get this one over with quickly: I truly hated StyleCop. I code in a very clean and consistent style, and I try my best to adhere to conventions. Parts of it I picked up over the years, parts of it just make sense or look nice. I also love the built-in code formatting of Visual Studio, I always use the default rules. It was about a year ago when I tried StyleCop, so I don't remember everything clearly, but it didn't agree with me or Visual Studio in several ways. To name one, putting using statements inside a namespace looks totally crazy to me. I knew I could have customized it, but I didn't think that putting any effort into it would be worth it, I already had my style and Visual Studio's code formatter, so I stuck with those.
On the other hand, I really loved FxCop. It is very easy to use, it has rules that really make sense to me, and it is built into Visual Studio by default. It only focuses on one goal, showing you warnings if you do something bad, and it's really good at that. It barely even has a UI. You can also extend it with custom checks, developed in .NET of course.
Now let's take a look at NDepend. It's not the easiest tool to use, but that's pretty much all the bad there is about it. It doesn't care about my source code formatting, which is a plus for me . It is a static code analysis tool, like FxCop, but it's also a lot more than that.
Basically, it has lots of rules and lets you verify whether your code violates any of them, it can also integrate into Visual Studio and the building process, pretty much like FxCop. The big innovation is the rule engine, CQLinq (Code Query LINQ): rules are LINQ expressions. When I first heard about it, I thought it's nice, but I had my doubts, I thought it's hard to do complex stuff with that, but I was wrong.
When NDepend analyses code, it first builds a huge object graph about your code (see NDepend.CodeModel namespace). Think about reflection, plus a lot more. It has dozens of extra properties about everything. There are standard metrics, like the number of IL instructions and cyclomatic complexity of methods, and even more advanced stuff, for example, IMember.CouldBePrivate tells you if a method or other kind of member could be declared as private. This kind of information needs a lot of effort to gather, some of the things which are full-fledged rules in FxCop, are readily and easily available built-in properties in NDepend, so you can focus on the real logic in the rules.
So when you have the code model, you can start running queries with a LINQ syntax. I have to admit that I only learned about the let keyword when I started using CQLinq. This single language construct is the key thing, it lets you step away from simple SQL-like stuff and create very complex queries. After I looked at the built-in rules, I didn't have any more doubts about the possibilities of NDepend. I'm pretty sure that whatever FxCop knows, NDepend knows that, too. And whatever way you can extend FxCop with a .NET assembly, you can also extend NDepend with a CQLinq query, which is just as powerful but a lot easier to use.
NDepend comes with 200+ built-in rules. With the value-added code model, many queries can be quite simple as you can see on the image on the right, but of course there are very complex ones, too, and they are open sourced and well commented. And the best thing is that you can edit the queries in real time, with code completion, and see the results immediately in a grid, which even knows about how to display which kinds of data.
CQLinq is awesome, but NDepend has a lot of knowledge about your code, so it doesn't stop there, and gives you a lot more visually. For example, it can draw dependency graphs, I love dependency graphs. Then it can draw dependency matrices, treemaps, etc. And everything is interactive, clickable.
NDepend also supports continuous integration testing. It has an assembly comparer UI, but the real deal is also built into CQLinq. For an analysis, you can define a baseline, and then all the changes can be queried from the exact same code model. For example, ICodeElement.WasRemoved() returns if the code element in the baseline doesn't exist in the current version, and there you have it, detecting breaking changes comes down to a very simple CQLinq query, too.
And last but not least, it has a very nice UI, with lots of context sensitive help and lots of online documentation as well. All in all, NDepend is just awesome.

London: The moody drama of Alexander McQueen menswear returned to London this season with Sarah Burton's latest collection of smoking room eveningwear and skinny, elongated Savile Row suiting. Distinguished, elegant and dark, McQueen's signature peaked shoulders looked sharp atop oxblood velvet tuxedo jackets paired with seductive dotted robes, but modern updates came via Burton's savvy fractured take on the pinstripe. Tone-on-tone colorblocking enlivened charcoal suits appropriate for both the lunch and cocktail hours, while a stained glass mosaic repeat gave head-to-toe depth to more experimental ensembles. Sumptuously rich with embroidery and quilting, F/W 13 was McQueen menswear at its finest. —Nina Stotler

Cameras 101: What is an Image Sensor?
Image sensors convert images into electrical signals that your camera then turns into pixels. Those pixels then become a digital photograph.
Sensors also determine how much light should be taken in during the brief time the shutter is open. Small sensors are found in camera phones, while large sensors can be found in DSLRs. The size of the sensor determines the resolution of the picture. Small sensors produce small resolution images; large sensors create large images.

a reminder of the geo test on FRIDAY. it will be all multiple choice and based on
-the provincial exam study package, chapter 12 section only. chapter 10 and 11 are no longer on the provincial
-any of the older exams I have posted in the past, including those from old grade 12 provincials . Note that from those gr. 12 tests, the following kinds of questions only: plate tectonics, Continental drift theory, volcanos, earthquakes, including the kinds of earthquake questions practiced in class.
-any of the old grade 10 exam questions on geology. A few of the more challenging questions would be questions from some of these old provincials - gr. 10 and 12 so you would gain a great advantage by poring through them.
you must be very familiar with key examples of geological features found at the correct places. for example, Hawaii is an island system which has shield volcanos, is associated with hot spots. African Rift Valley is a divergent boundary, pacific north west is a subduction zone and nearby there is a trench, volcanos, earthquakes. Japan is a volcanic island arc, etc.

DU fields queries on 4-year programme
In a first, Delhi University officials tackled questions by parents and students on the new four-year undergraduate programme head-on at an Open Day.delhi Updated: May 25, 2013 03:41 IST
In a first, Delhi University officials tackled questions by parents and students on the new four-year undergraduate programme head-on at an Open Day.
The director of South Campus, Umesh Rai, who is also a member of the academic and executive council, answered a number of questions related to the rationale, structure and usefulness of the new course in a marathon question-answer session on Friday morning.
"It is not true that the decision to bring in the four-year programme was taken without discussion. There was ample discussion and debate around it," Rai said when a parent asked about the lack of debate.A number of parents also asked questions about the usefulness of the four-year programme over the existing system.
"The old course gave students a lot of theoretical knowledge without the opportunity to apply it. We have combined the best of the theory and practical knowledge in the new courses," Rai explained.
The question that was repeated the most, however, was about the foundation courses and their mandatory nature. A number of students wondered why they should study topics that they have already left behind in class 11.
"I don't understand why I should study history and information technology if I am studying commerce. We are being told that these are school-level courses. Shouldn't such a change be brought about at the level of schools?" said Sanchi Gupta, a student.
Rai told the students that the foundation courses were not something that is taught at school-level.
"These courses are going to help students understand the challenges being faced by the country and will also make students aware of their immediate environment. No school curriculum teaches these things," he said. This was the first time that parents and students were allowed questions about the FYUP. Earlier, the students and parents were told that the sessions were for questions about the admission process alone. However, in the face of criticism of their approach, the officials decided to take up the questions.
A number of students also asked about admission under the ECA category and were told that they will have to contact colleges to fill ECA and sports category forms.
The university officials also assured the students and parents that the revised course content would be put online within the next 10 days.

6th Southeast Asia Botanic Garden Network Conference - Bringing together SEA's botanic garden community
The Southeast Asia Botanic Garden (SEABG) Network held its 6th network conference at Bidoup-Nuiba National Park, Vietnam from April 24th to 28th. The conference brought together 59 delegates from 18 Southeast Asian and associate countries for a week of meeting, training and building partnerships for plant conservation.
The conference consisted of a meeting to discuss logistics, such as the status of national level botanic garden networks, the advancement of a SEABG network website and updating the working practices of the network.
A training workshop on 'Methods of Ex situ conservation for exceptional species' was led Dr. Valerie Pence (Director of Plant Research) of the Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and Dr. Chad Husby of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden with additional presentations by Dr. Saw Leng Guan (Penang Botanic Garden) and Dr. Chai-Shian Kua (Morton Arboretum). The workshop combined presentations on regional threatened and 'exceptional species' (those which cannot be conserved through traditional practices) and hand-on demonstrations and discussions of techniques for in vitro culture, cryopreservation and development and management of genetically representative living collections.
The conference was also a chance for network members from across the region to come together to strengthen and build new partnerships through cross border projects, staff and knowledge exchanges. Members of the network greatly enjoyed their time and the hospitality of Bidoup-Nuiba National Park and look forward to the next conference to be hosted by Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, Thailand in 2019.

Do you know what error_local_user is?
Either you are using an authentic or unofficial version of Windows, an annoying malware infection called error_local_user can appear anytime pretending to be an official product key activation screen. This fake alert has only one goal: To mislead you into buying useless software or support services. In other words, this is a technical support scam as our researchers refer to it. If you do not want to lose hundreds of dollars, we recommend that you remove error_local_user without a second thought. There is no problem with your computer or your system unless you really have not activated your copy of Windows and this is a real activation screen you are seeing. Let us tell you more about this fake alert so that you know how this threat can show up on your computer and what you can do against it.
According to our researchers, this infection is spread in bundles. This means that you may not even realize that you let this malware onto your machine, which most likely comes along with other malicious threats. Basically, you can drop a malicious bundle onto your system if you click on corrupt third-party advertisements. Such ads can be displayed on your computer screen while you are browsing the web. You either have adware infection on your system or you visit a shady website in order for you to be able to see such corrupt ads. These unreliable websites include torrent and freeware sites among others. The main feature that these sites have in common is that all of them promote several third-party ads. It is easy to end up on such pages if you run a web search on free products, movies, and software. The search results will definitely contain a number of fake or malicious websites. This is why we suggest that you always download software from official and reputable sources only. However, if you find this fake alert on your screen, there is only one thing you can do: You need to run a free online malware scanner to see if there are any other infections present. But first, you should delete error_local_user to get it out of the way. In fact, you cannot even use your computer properly until you do so.error_local_user screenshot
Scroll down for full removal instructions
You can find a number of identical or similar fake alert infections on the web that work exactly the same way. This alert poses as a product key activation screen for Windows, but there are some telltale signs, of course, that question its reliability. For starters, there are some non-relevant quick links at the top to third-party websites, such as TeamViewer, Supremo, and Logmein. Furthermore, there is a CMD button as well that opens the Command Prompt window. And, of course you will also find the promoted "Customer Support Helpline" telephone number ("+1-844-459-8882"), which is indeed the main "attraction" here. Nobody actually wants you to enter your real product key into the provided field. It is all about making you call this number.
This is called a technical support scam for a reason. In fact, you may not even talk to a real technician but, instead, a well-trained and experienced sales "guru" whose only goal is to sell you something; in this case, it is most likely a useless program to fix your system or a service with a one-time or annual fee. Unfortunately, there are plenty of inexperienced computer users who can be fooled and who are willing to pay money just to get their system running again. Well, you can take a deep breath now because that is exactly why we are here, too; but our help will not cost you anything, yet you will be able to delete error_local_user yourself manually.
The bad news is that this malware infection does not have a working uninstaller so you cannot simply remove error_local_user via Control Panel. Instead, you have to go through a number of steps to get rid of all the mess it created. The good news is that in order to assist you with the necessary steps, we have included our instructions below. Even if you are not an expert, you may succeed by following these instructions. However, it is always safer and more efficient to use a professional anti-malware program that can detect and clean all existing malware infections from your system as well as protect your PC from future malware attacks.
Remove error_local_user from Windows
- Press the CMD button on the fake error screen.
- Type in taskmgr and press the Enter key.
- Find the process named "windowsactivation.exe" and press End task.
- At the Command Prompt type in regedit. Hit Enter.
- Find HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell registry value name and replace its value data ("C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsActivationUpdate\WindowsActivationUpdate.exe") with "explorer.exe" (64-bit)
- Find HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell registry value name and replace its value data ("C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsActivationUpdate\WindowsActivationUpdate.exe") with "explorer.exe" (64-bit)
- Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WindowsActivationUpdate registry entry. (64-bit)
- Exit the registry editor.
- At the Command Prompt type in explorer to open the File Explorer. Hit Enter.
- Bin "C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsActivationUpdate" folder. (64-bit)
- Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot your PC.
In non-techie terms:
If you find an authentic-looking product key activation screen after a mysterious reboot, error_local_user fake alert infection may have crawled onto your system. This malware blocks your screen and the basic functioning of your operating system claiming that you have to provide your product key to activate your Windows. Obviously, this is a scam and you should not get a heart attack when you see this window. This is all about promoting a supposed customer support line ("+1-844-459-8882"), which could be used by potential schemers to sell you useless software and technical support services. Unsuspecting and inexperienced users may shorten their bank accounts by a few hundred dollars if they are not careful. That is why we suggest that you remove error_local_user ASAP. In order to protect your system from similar malware attacks, we advise you to download and install a reputable anti-malware application.

Augusta National Golf Club (WFXG)
A famous landmark at the Augusta National Golf Club is gone after the recent ice storm that hit in Augusta.
The storm caused irreparable damage to the Eisenhower Tree, resulting in the loss of most major branches, said Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club.
The tree was removed this weekend.
"The loss of the Eisenhower Tree is difficult news to accept," Payne said. "We obtained opinions from the best arborists available and, unfortunately, were advised that no recovery was possible."
Payne said that the golf course sustained no major damage otherwise and that preparations for the 2014 Masters Tournament will not be affected.

text: I'm not sure if I'm the only noticing this but here's my issue. It seems that the router's Tx rate when connected via 802.11n is "stuck" at 7 when it tries to transmit data to its WiFi clients. Note that the test results below were obtained with WiFi set to N-only mode or G-only mode. I'm running shibby's Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-104 K26 Max on my Asus RT-N12 C1. In N-only mode, when the router isn't uploading to the client, the Tx rate looks fine and matches the Rx rate with the client about 2 metres away in direct line of sight. Once I force a transmission from router to client with iperf server running on the client, the Tx rate fluctuates and stays at 7 at most times until the transfer is complete and then return to a value matching that of the Rx rate. The iperf results also reflects the "bad performance" with values between 5-12mbps in N-only mode when router is uploading to the client while showing a more consistent 20-22mbps in G-only mode. Note that G-only is performing better than N-only when downloading on a WiFi client which makes using wireless N quite pointless. The following values were observed by me on the "Device Listing" link in the admin area. WiFi is running in N-only mode WiFi running in G-only mode Here's a graph for clarity in N-only mode running iperf upload from client then download Is this a bug in the firmware or is this a problem with the hardware? The other features that I'm using seem to be functioning alright though.

Articles tagged with: Ottawa art
I was told yesterday that I had missed Ottawa's best jam session of the year. It happened last weekend at D'Arcy McGee's in Orleans, right across the street from the Shenkman Arts Centre and 30 minutes after the final award had been given out there by the Canadian Grand Master's Fiddling Championships.
And I'm more than willing to dissent from those who insist photography is not art because it is something seen by the eye, not the mind. Oh please, that's like saying only art can change how one sees the world, which photography has done more times than any, except perhaps for the atomic bomb. While there is definitely mind-shifting in that level of destruction, I'm not sure I'd want to argue that its art.
For some, fashion is a dirty word, evoking self-important couturiers, spinning wears that cost more than our cars. There are those who regard Vogue with the same distain as Hustler. I once hurled an InStyle magazine into the trash when a guy I liked happened to walk by, lest he think I was a clothes whore. With age comes self-acceptance.
Earlier this month, painter Ross Rheaume read that millennia-old paintings in the Lescaux caves were not just depictions of animals in the hills of southern France; they were perfect representations of constellations. There was the requisite moment of awe, but the news wasn't a surprise because Rheaume thinks that good art is always a story about who we are (humans in space) and what we feel (wonder, nostalgia, fear
Elliott Smith knew the hotel's talent contest was in the bag. By then he'd been performing magic for 34 years, and the crowd loved his session. Then the manager asked him to stay for another week and do some shows; the hotel would comp the room and meals for him and his wife. Smith says the decision was a no-brainer.
After four years at a school for writers, actors, musicians, visual artists and dancers, I like to think that I know a thing or two about the creation of art. I have seen, firsthand, optimism and frustration, ideas discarded and re-adopted and the brilliance of unexpected inspiration. I've experienced them too. But as I step up to the door of H'Art of Ottawa, I'm convinced I do not know art quite the way it exists here.
Mat Dubé has poked his nose into a lot of creative expressions. Some have come easily, and have been fun; others have been a slog that drains one's spirit. He battles two dilemmas: that he tends to be very good at any art he tries; and that indecision keeps him bouncing from one to another. "I know the rules of how to make money (from art). I just don't know if I want to (follow them)," is his conclusion, so far.

Well, we made it to Chicago and back and had a wild ride in the middle!! Once again, we saw old friends, made new best friends and are trying to regroup! We were very happy to have Midge on the Artgirlz team and we were all amazed to experience the mix of energy from our combined forces! There was so much going on at any one moment that we are still catching up on stories. We talked with magazine editors, tv producers, online hostesses, distributors, store owners, acquisition big shots, and most importantly our loyal supporters and "old" customers from all over the place! There is nothing more heartwarming than hearing that we have nudged someone along their creative path!!
I continue to be inspiried by the young designers that are out there writing books, looking for work and doing tv and generally bringing a freshness to the scene. We were lucky to run into Traci Bautista, Katie Hacker, Candie Cooper and Margot Potter.
The garden needs lots of work with weeds growing, Japanese beetles munching away...but the lilies are beautiful, the bees are very busy, baby angelicas are all over the place, the fish and frogs seem to be happy in the pond. Sue and Al checked the bees last night. There are so many of them and we don't want them to swarm. We are beekeepers driving without a license, so we have to call one of our mentors today for advice. We had the joy and privilege of tasting the honey right out of the comb!
Back to work! Hi Lennis!
Monday, July 16, 2007
Another Monday morning at Artgirlz Nation. We will be finishing up packing and all preparations for CHA today so that we can celebrate Allison's Birthday tomorrow! Happy Birthay Big Al!! As part of that preparation, I wanted to get a few more samples of our new wool felt kits up for the world to see.
The Christmas Tree contains the cone with wool felt beads and a second pack of mixed beads for additional color and texture. Of course any number of sequins, ribbons, trims, presents and embroidery can be added to the mix!
Sue and I traveled in Africa in 1994 and '96. While in Kenya we were privileged to hook up with and spend most of our time with a very interesting Kenyan family. They worked as ambassadors, representatives in the government, writers and entreprenures. Our hostess Sophia Odero worked with street children offering food and guidance and with widows, helping them develop skills and micro businesses.
Four years ago we received a call from a young man who introduced himself as the son of one of our favorite Kenyan friends (far left). We offered words of wisdom for survival in the US and sent bits of cash for college fees. A couple of years ago we were heartbroken when we learned that his mom had died. So it was with great pleasure that we headed out to Portland to actually meet Pamela's beautiful son Myque and attend his wedding over the 4th.
After an introductory breakfast with the groom we went to help him check things off of his "honey do" list. Under the sure guidance of Myque's brother Elijah (seen above right with girlfriend Tana), we spent the next two hot, laugh filled days, chopping up the ingredients and cooking the post wedding rehersal Kenyan feast...and we finally met Abby, the Bride!!
We were very excited to reconnect with Joseph Otieno, who as a teenager in his family home in Nairobi, gave us his room as a landing zone. He filled us in on family news and promised to send greetings to his mom who is working in Afganistan. Hope to meet up with him when we head to Houston for Quilt Market/Festival! The wedding was beautiful, the food was perfect, the cake was the best I've ever tasted.
We were thrilled to meet Myque, his brother Elijah and friends and to observe their love and respect for each other. They are loving, smart and very funny young men and their mom would be very proud of their journey into the world!! We miss them madly!
The other great part of our trip to Portland was spending time with our host David Fones! We met David on our journey thru the craft industry and were very excited that we would be able to drink coffee in his kitchen, read on the porch, study his garden and neighborhood and enjoy his personal guidance around town (which we loved)!! My sister was afraid we wouldn't come home from the land of organic mindsets, art, gardens, gardens and more gardens, light, warm, mosquito free evenings, amazing mexican food...
Part of our Portland tour was a look at the Chinese Gardens with their amazing stone mosaic walkways.
And then there was VooDoo Donuts..
We had heard about this joint on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, that was aired on the travel channel. It was immediately put onto our Portland list! After the relaxing greenery of the Chinese Gardens we trotted down a couple of blocks and there it was! On the left is the "Dirty Bastard"...a lovely raised donut with chocolate frosting, crushed oreos, and a drizzle of peanut butter. Yes, we actually consumed it...and here is Sue enjoying a bit of maple frosting and bacon on an oblong raised dough ball...It is probably a once in a lifetime event!
We had a great trip and are very grateful to David and Lyle for sharing their home and special adventure filled automobile...and we are grateful for the twists and turns that led us to Myque and Abby's wedding.
On to Chicago...here is a view from 35,000 ft....

We are in our usual pre-show state. Lists of things to do...catalog sheets with our new kits and beads. Stitching up new outfits, working on hair do's, samples, website, blog, and garden. We have been tweaking our new kits that are pretty cute I have to say! There will be Trees, Elves, Snow People and Witches...and and endless number of characters that can be made up by mix and matching felt beads and Artgirlz charms!
We had a great trip to Portland and want to share some photos and stories about that adventure before we head out to our next one!
Back to the garden!
