Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E14
The error was Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E14.
After sometime I did find out, that my C drive has gone out of disk space, and that caused SQL transaction log creation failure which resulted this error.
So freeing up more space on C drive solved my problem.
You will be able to get more details of the error by checking SharePoint log files.

Planning to Buy a Vehicle?
1. Quality of the Vehicle
2. Legal Side of the Vehicle
Although most of the things I mention in this are specific to Sri Lanka I definitely know there are similar things to check in other countries as well.
1. Quality of the Car
If you are buying a brand new vehicle this is not required because the company will give you the details technical overview and will also give you a warranty.
But if you are going for a used vehicle then you have to check for its quality. Anyway I am not that good in the technical side so you have to rely on the knowledge that you have or someone who knows better.
2. Legal Side of the Vehicle
This is one area most people are not paying that much interest. But this is the most important side, imagine a vehicle that you buy having problems with its documents, If that happens you wont be able to transfer it to your name with ease. Sometimes you even might need to go to courts. If that happens you face the difficulty when selling as well because no one would buy a vehicle from you that you don't own. Further more I advice you to check the vehicle documents because if you buy a technically unfit vehicle you can go to a mechanic and get the vehicle repaired after spending some time and money. But if documents are not good then it will be a big issue.
So what are these documents that you have to look for?
1. Certificate of Registration (CR)
This certificate will have all the details of the vehicle such as Make, Model, Year of Manufacture, Registration Number, Chassis Number, Engine Number, Present Owner, Absolute Owner, Previous Owners, Etc.
All of these are important to check, but for a successful legal transfer of ownership to you present and absolute owners are important. Always it is better to buy a vehicle from the person mentioned in the present owner field. Because the vehicle is owned by him. There are cases which people will keep vehicles with open papers.
Open Papers means that the owner will not get the vehicle transferred to his name, but he will get a set of forms filled from the seller and keep with him.
For example if Mr. ABC is buying a vehicle from Mr. STUV (Mr. STUV is the current owner in the CR). Mr. ABC will keep the transfer documents signed by Mr. STUV after doing the payments to Mr. STUV, but he will not fill them or submit them to the Department of Motor Vehicles for registration.
One advantage of open papers is the number of owners will be lesser.
One disadvantage of this is, if buyer needs to transfer the vehicle to his name he will not be guaranteed that the transfer will happen smoothly since his transferee will be an unknown person. For example in the above case if Mr. ABC is going to sell the vehicle to Mr. XYZ and if Mr. XYZ is needing to get the vehicle transferred to his name the legal transferee will be Mr. STUV who is unknown by Mr. XYZ. In which case while the transfer process is happening problems might arise.
Absolute owner - In normal case this field should be empty. If this is filled with some name that means the vehicle is on a finance or lease. In this case you cannot buy directly from the current owner. That is because when the absolute owner is superior to the current owner. So you will be needing a no objection letter from the absolute owner.
Also note in either case a company is printed under Current Owner or Absolute Owner you will be needing a no objection letter from the company in a company letter head, with the emboss seal and signed by a rightful director of the company.
2. Vehicle Identity Card (VID)
All the English number registered (HE, KA, KC, ...) vehicles will have a VID. you will be requiring this VID to carry out any legal things on the vehicle (Transferring the vehicle to you).
This is only applicable to English numbered vehicles since it is issued new.
If you follow these I think you would be able to buy a vehicle and live peacefully.
Visual Studio not Showing Errors
If not read on, recently I came up to a machine which was having Visual Studio error. Visual Studio was showing errors when a project is compiled but the error details (error code line number, error file) which we can use to identify the error are not displayed.
After trying out several things found the cause of it and thought to share it.
The problem was not with the project but with the path the project was kept.
In the machine the failing project was stored under a folder which was having parenthesis or brackets "(".
For example the solution path was like C:\ProjectsA(V1)\MyProj\.
The (V1) part was confusing Visual Studio making it stop displaying the error details.
If you also have the same problem simply remove the brackets by renaming the folder and reload your project to Visual Studio from the new path. The error details will be shown correctly.

Regular Expressions
In the resent past I had to write some simple regular expressions.
So thought of sharing them with you.
An EMail Address Validator
This will validate the entered EMail address.
A Password Validator
This will validate the password to have at least 1 alphabetic character and 1 numeric digit, and altogether the password will be more than 6 characters long.
A Telephone Number Valdator
This will expect the telephone number to be in international format. For example (0094 777 123456).
A Simple Length Validator
This will allow only only 200 or lesser characters for input.
A Length Validator Which Works With Linefeed (Return, Enter)
This will validate and allow only 500 input even in a multi line field when linefeed (enter) is used in between.
A Date Validator
(0[1-9]1[012])[- /.](0[1-9][12][0-9]3[01])[- /.](1920)\d\d
This will check for the date validness. The date format should be mm/dd/yyyy to correctly validate by this.
If the date format is required as yyyy/mm/dd then use the following.
(1920)\d\d[- /.](0[1-9]1[012])[- /.](0[1-9][12][0-9]3[01])
Following are some good sites that you can refer for regular expression help.

Enabling Forms Authentication in SharePoint
To change the authentication first you need to login to the Administrator site.
Now select Application Management and click on the link Authentication Providers under Application Security.
In the Edit Authentication page select Forms as the Authentication Type then in Membership Provider Name type AD, which we are to setup later. Then click the Save button.As of the result of changing the authentication providers the Web.Config file will be changed accordingly automatically. But this is not enough we need to enter the membership provider details ther in site Web.Config file and Administrator site Web.Config files.
To do the necessary changes open both Web.Config files. Both files needed to be updated with the same information.
After verifying the selected application enter Primary Site Collection Administrator as AD:Administrator. If you want you can fill in Secondary Site Collection Administrator as well. After finishing click Ok.
Now go back to the site and try to login, you will see that the traditional windows login page is replaced with a simple login web page. Since this login page is too simple I did some improvements to the login page and created my own one as you can see below.

Correcting the error at User Control
Recently I got an error in an user control which I used to create users in Active Directory. This user control started to fail in SharePoint after deploying it in to a different server. It threw the following error,
- Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The Inner Exception was
- Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
After a bit of a struggle I found that the error was due to inappropriate setting in Web.Config file.
To correct it set identity impersonate to false.
<identity impersonate="false" />

Creating a Web Part to use with SharePoint
1. Create a user control.
2. Create the web part DLL to hold the user control.
3. Add user control and web part to SharePoint and make the web part safe.
4. Add the web part to the web parts gallery.
5. Finally add the web part to the page.
Lots of steps ha, don't worry we'll do step by step.
1. Create a user control.
a. Start Visual Studio and click on File -> New -> Web Site.
b. Select ASP.NET Web Site as the template, select C# as the language, and give a file system location and a name (prjFirst) for the project before pressing Ok. c. Now we need to add a page to write our code. To do that, right click on top of the project and click on Add New Item....
d. Select Web User Control as the template, select the language as C#, give a name for the user control (ucFirst) and ensure that Place code in separate file check box is checked before pressing Ok. e. Now you need to use the required web controls and write the code required in the appropriate files. For this demonstration I will put a label and a button only. When the button is clicked I will display a greeting message in the label.
f. After creating the controls and naming them as required I need to import Microsoft.SharePoint.dll since I am going to access SharePoint object model. To do this first we need to refer this dll. Right click on the project and click on Add Reference..., select the Browse tab and go to folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI and select Microsoft.SharePoint.dll to add the reference to the project. If your machine doesn't have a SharePoint installation then you need to copy this file from a SharePoint installed machine to your machine and refer it.
g. After coding for the button click my code looks like this. h. Now build and see if the page is having any errors. If no errors step one is done.
2. Create the web part DLL to hold the user control.
a. Start another instance of Visual Studio and click File -> New -> Project....
d. Now right click on the project and click on Add -> New Item..., then select Class as the template and give an appropriate name (csFirstWebPart.cs) and click Add. e. Now you need to refer System.Web namespace. To do so right click on project and click ok Add Reference..., then select the System.Web and click Ok. f. After inheriting the class from the WebPart override the CreateChildControls method to create a user control and load the user control we create earlier in step 1.
We are loading the user control file (ucFirst.ascx) from the SharePoint UserControls folder which we are to copy later. g. Now build the project by right clicking on project and selecting Build. If no errors occur then that means we have completed step 2 as well.
a. Adding User Control files.
i. Go to the location that you created the user control project in step 1 and copy the 2 files of the user control (ucFirst.ascx and ucFirst.ascx.cs). ii. Go to the root folder of the web site (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot). Now find the folder named UserControls and paste the copied two files there. Notes –
· I'm trying to put the newly created web part to the default web application. So I am using C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\UserControls folder. If you need to use this web part then you needs to use the appropriate folder. For example if I am to use this in the web application http://ironone-ms-t01:16173/ then I have to create UserControls folder in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\16173. To find the correct location of your web application use IIS Manager web site properties page. · If the UserControls folder doesn't exist you can create it there.
b. Adding Web Part DLL.
i. Go to the location that you created the web part DLL project in step 2 and copy the output DLL file (clFirstWebPart.dll) of it. ii. Go to the root folder of the web site (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot). Now find the folder named bin and paste the copied file there. Notes –
· I'm trying to put the newly created web part to the default web application. So I am using C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\UserControls folder. If you need to use this web part then you needs to use the appropriate folder. For example if I am to use this in the web application http://ironone-ms-t01:16173/ then I have to create bin folder in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\16173. To find the correct location of your web application use IIS Manager web site properties page. · If the bin folder doesn't exist you can create it there.
c. Making the web part a trusted web part.
In order to use the web part we need to make the web part a trusted web part. To do this there are two ways,
1. Put an entry to the web.config file of the application.
2. Give the dll a fully trusted name and putting it to GAC.
I will be using the first method. Make a backup of the web.config file located in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and open it. Then add an entry to the SafeControls section. The easiest way is to copy the last line and paste it at the end and changing the Assembly and the Namespace to the dlls' name (clFirstWebPart). Save the config file and to be in safe side do an IIS reset by typing IISReset in the Run Window.
4. Add the web part to the web parts gallery.
a. Open an Internet Explorer and browse to the site which you need to add the web part. Then click on Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings.
b. Click on Web Parts under Galleries in the Site Settings page to open the Web Part Gallery. c. In the web part gallery page you will see all the added web parts. But not our one. So we need to add that here. To do this click on New button. Note –
The files with .dwp extension are Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 web parts.
The files with .webpart are the new Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 web parts.
d. This list will have the newly added web part (clFirstWebPart.clFirstWebPart). Check the check box in front of it and click on Populate Gallery. e. Now our new web part will appear in the Web Part Gallery. This is enough but it is always better to change some properties of the web part. So open up the web part property page by clicking on the Edit button. Change the Title, Description and the Group of the web part and press Ok. f. Remember that we need to test the web part before we add it to a web page. To do this simply click on the web part. g. If you are also having the default settings then you will definitely get an error of request for the permission of type.... This is because we didn't change the SharePoint trust level. To change this I will use the easy way of changing the trust level in the configuration file to full though the best way is to create a trust file.
Open the web.config file at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and find the entry
5. Finally add the web part to the page.
Now our newly created web part is available for us to use. We'll now add it to a page.
a. Open the required web page in the internet explorer and click Site Actions -> Edit Page to start editing mode.
d. To finalize the page click Publish button on the page. e. Click on 'Click Me' button and see the output. Even though adding a new web part was bit of a process, after adding doing changes to it is not that difficult. What you have to do is change the ascx and ascx.cs files and copy the new ones to the UserControls folder. I have simply changed the message to a new one using this method.

Talking about current ages, you will most often find people talking about their core musculature system. Why shouldn't they? They should as people are getting more sensible to their physical outlook. In essence, the middle of one body is considered as the core musculature system, particularly of the back. It usually covers the entire number of back organs and results in forming up an abdomen. According to Osteopath London Clinic, there are primary two functions of one core muscular system. The major two functions are briefly explained as follow:
Osteopath London Clinic has stated the very first function that it brings stableness to one's spine that will help you out to make a straight yet stronger posture. While on the side of the coin, the second function muscular system performs is to deal with the pressure most often utilized by abdomen itself. The most important benefit of your core muscular system is that it helps you out to lift heavy weights. It is not merely beneficial in helping you to pick up heavy weights but it also decreases the probability of getting injuries in spinal alignment.
The practices of Osteopath really helps in making the muscular system quite brawny, which is an ultimate requirement of a body. Lets take a real time example and have a look at your current posture as you are sitting straightly staring at your computer or laptop screen. If you would have non stronger muscular system, you can't even imagine the worst that may be happen with you. However, the expertises of Hale Clinic of Osteopath London is serving sound figure of patient to get healthy muscular structure.

|Welcome to my personal website !
In 2008 I came back to Switzerland with a degree Bachelor of Science International Business and also with a lot of human and soccer experience. I made my come back in the Swiss League with FC Zürich Frauen but my goal was to reach higher again. I found a new challenge in signing for Olympique Lyonnais in France where I could also perfect speaking french. The first months I had to adapt to the lifestyle and habits in a new city and environment. Being eliminated in the semi finals of the UEFA Women's Cup by FCR 2001 Duisburg was a disappointment but at the end of the season we won the French league title so we were present in the new UEFA Women's Champions League!
In the summer of 2015 I have moved from Lyon in France to Wolfsburg in Germany as I wanted to experience a new challenge in my career. I am excited to start with my new club VfL Wolfsburg in the highly estimated Bundesliga and off course I hope to do as well over here as I did in France.


text: When Coach changes the biology-class seating chart, e-zine reporter Nora Grey finds herself instantly attracted to yet fearful of her new dark, sexy, bad-boy partner, Patch. She also becomes acquainted with good-looking transfer student Elliot, the key suspect in a murder-ruled-suicide at his former prep school. While putting her journalist skills to the test researching the backgrounds of both mysterious guys, Nora experiences terrifying hallucinations, saves her best friend from an attack meant for her and discovers that Patch is a fallen angel who wants to become human—at any cost. In a thrilling debut with an attention-grabbing cover, this game of revenge among fallen angels with Nora caught in the middle has too many coincidences to move the plot along and an uneven, rushed ending. Twilight readers will either squeal over the forbidden romance between Nora and Patch and the steamy scenes they generate or sigh over another helpless young woman torn between sexuality and fear and threatened and manipulated by males who play with her vulnerability.

Tofu with Minced Meat
Tofu with Minced Meat (肉酱豆腐) is one of my family's favourite dishes and I have cooked it for many years but never got tired of it. This dish is really good with a bowl of warm fluffy white rice, and we often fought over the savoury gravy. Such humble home-cooked food (家常菜) is the reason why I like to cook, because it taste so homely and you can't really order this type of food outside, well at least not so commonly.

Had the opportunity to get my hands on the David Heather "King Pin" gacha set that's currently at The Epiphany event. This dude never fails to disappoint when it comes to knowing exactly what males want and need not only in fashion but also decor, always bringing high quality fashion forward stuff with just enough class! This set comes with 20+ different and unique items and the best part is… They work really well with his previous gachas!
When I got my hands on this set I immediately had to adjust my crown and remind myself of who the f**k I AM!

Appreciate the comments so far, but want to know if anyone out there has had any experience with seminars on Tax Lien Certificate programs. I attended one recently, but cost of program (nearly $3,000) seems way out of line from programs-in-a-box bought via the internet ranging from $49.95 to $495. What gives?

What would you ask a designer? Lately, the Previously Owned by a Gay Man team has been obsessing over design secrets – who has them, what are they, and why won't someone tell us? It turns out, we only needed to ask – insider insights from Amanda Teal kick off our "Sitting With" series. Amanda creates beautiful interiors across the country, and shares her process, inspirations…and a few secrets!
What is your background? How did you get into design?
When I was in my early 20's, I rode horses professionally. I met Rebecca Bradley, an SF based interior designer, at the barn and we bonded over our love of horses and design. A career in interior design seemed like an unattainable dream. I was always attracted to design and had an eye for it, but Rebecca showed me how to harness those inclinations and turn them into a career. She recommended that I take some design classes and start as an intern at her design office. I enrolled that week. Working for Rebecca was an incredible experience. She taught me all about the design business, the technical aspects of design, and the nuances of luxury. I started at the bottom and worked my way up over the course of a few years. It was fast paced, creative, and a lot of hard work. I loved it.
Your work is so clean, how do you achieve that without it seeming too precious?
Thank you! A good portion of my clients are families with children, so precious isn't an option. I don't believe in having pieces in your home that you can't use and enjoy. I believe that comfort is the ultimate luxury, so I pay special attention to proportion and line when choosing furniture.
Do you tend to have tried and true favorites that find themselves into every project?
Natural materials make their way into all my projects. I tend to use a lot of linen, cotton, and wool fabrics. I also use woven sea grass and sisal floor coverings quite a bit.
What is your favorite resource for a splurge? For a steal?
I tend to splurge on lighting and antique rugs. Woven Accents is my go to rug vendor, and I love everything at Urban Electric in Charleston. When I need some art or accessories for a steal, I'll pop by the Alameda Antiques Faire or browse Etsy.
What is your favorite recent project and what made it special?
I am currently working on my favorite project. It is 5000 SqFt new build modern Spanish home. The client has a terrific sense of humor, impeccable style, and completely trusts us. It's a perfect situation. This home is going to be the definition of barefooted elegance.
Is there a project you fantasize about doing some day?
One of my passions is travel. As such, I would love to do some international work. A flat in London, a farm house in Provence, a canal house in Amsterdam.
Do you have a signature and does it find its way into every project?
Our signature is casual elegance. I like environments that feel laid back, not overly decorated but still pulled together. A major component in creating that feeling is really understanding the client, who they are, how they live, and how they aspire to live. When a house is a true reflection of someone's personality, it innately feels like a home.
Is there a current trend that you love and think will endure?
We are using a lot of Moroccan and Italian plaster elements lately. Plaster can be soft and modern looking, but earthy at the same time.
What are your favorite pieces on Previously Owned by a Gay man and how would you use them in a project?
I found a few favorite pieces that I would use to create a cozy little breakfast nook. I would start with a simple pedestal table and then layer in the following…
would look great with this mix and matched pillow set
Next I would layer in this white wooden chandelier. I would add linen or paper shades to dress it up, or use a globe shaped bulb to give a more casual feeling.
Finally, I would add these chunky woven chairs

A Barnhart resident's Missouri Lottery ticket was drawn to make him the 35th contestant in the "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin" for a chance to win up to $250,000. On Feb. 21, the Lottery drew 10 finalists from "Fun & Fortune" wheel spin entries submitted the previous week. Each finalist will receive $500, and one of those 10 finalists – Walter Stanhouse of Barnhart - was drawn to be a contestant in the wheel spin on March 7.
The nine other finalists selected in the first preliminary drawing to win $500 are: Melba Bass of Jasper, Billie Crusha of East Lynne, Raymond Smith of Eolia, E. Roberta Rouner of Cape Girardeau, David Renneke of California, Greg Kennedy of Cassville, Darriel McDaniel of Richland, Shirley Dowd of Chaffee and Dorothy Masterson of St. Louis (63129)*.
The new "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin," which replaced the televised "Fun & Fortune" game show, offers players more chances to win and bigger prizes.
For a chance to win $500 and to spin the wheel, players need to buy a new $2 "Fun & Fortune" Scratchers ticket. If the ticket is a winner and the prize won is ENTRY, the ticket should be mailed to the Lottery's headquarters to be placed in a weekly drawing. Each week, 10 of these ENTRY tickets will be drawn, and those winners will receive $500 each. In addition, one of the 10 preliminary winners will be drawn for a chance to spin the wheel and win from $2,500 to $250,000.
The "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin" will be held at the Lottery's Jefferson City office at 1823 Southridge Drive and is open to the public. Each monthly "Wheel Spin" event will also be streamed on the Lottery's Web site.
For more information about the new "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin," visit the Missouri Lottery's Web site at www.molottery.com.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase Missouri Lottery tickets.
*In the event of a discrepancy, official winning numbers prevail over any numbers posted on this website.

"OpenBSD is widely touted as being 'secure by default', something often mentioned by OpenBSD advocates as an example of the security focused approach the OpenBSD project takes. Secure by default refers to the fact that the base system has been audited and considered to be free of vulnerabilities, and that only the minimal services are running by default. This approach has worked well; indeed, leading to 'Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!'. This is a common sense approach, and a secure default configuration should be expected of all operating systems upon an initial install. An argument often made by proponents of OpenBSD is the extensive code auditing performed on the base system to make sure no vulnerabilities are present. The goal is to produce quality code as most vulnerabilities are caused by errors in the source code. This a noble approach, and it has worked well for the OpenBSD project, with the base system having considerably less vulnerabilities than many other operating systems. Used as an indicator to gauge the security of OpenBSD however, it is worthless."

RE[7]: Author of the article here
by Mark Williamson on Fri 22nd Jan 2010 18:23 UTC in reply to "RE[6]: Author of the article here"
"mmap at 0" - does this mean being able to map physical address 0 (which would be bad), or simply "use mmap as memory allocation" (which I can't see a reason to disallow)?
For compatibility with various other OS ABIs, Linux *can* allow userspace processes to mmap stuff at virtual address zero which would otherwise usually be left unmapped IIRC. There's a knob in /proc/sys, I think, that lets you control whether this is allowed.
But there was some peculiar interaction whereby this knob wasn't used on RHEL systems systems where SELinux was enabled. RHEL's SELinux itself *could* enforce the same constraint if configured in policy but if it was missing from the policy then the constraint ended up not being enforced at all. Or something like that. This might be RHEL-specific.
Source (which has links to further details and details of the folks who worked on tracking down the security problems - Brad Spengler, Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes):
Specific details on the RHEL problem:
lwn.net had a proper article about this stuff as well but I can't find it.

It was an error in policy, that was a deliberate decision to allow WINE to function, among other things.
It should not be considered an actual vulnerability in the framework.
RE[8]: Author of the article here
by f0dder on Fri 22nd Jan 2010 19:20 in reply to "RE[7]: Author of the article here"
OK, so "just" virtual#0... would've been pretty bad if usermode processes could get arbitrary physical memory locations mapped.
Allowing to map virtual#0 is bad enough, though...
Disclaimer: This is probably a hopelessly mangled explanation since I only half remember it :-SNah, it was good enough, and the lwn.net had the relevant links; the cr0.org blog post, and it's links to involved kernel functions source code (nice feature!) it was pretty easy to understand.
All boils down to a bug in a C preprocessor macro causing sockop.sendpage function pointer to be uninitialized, and net/socket.c#sock_sendpage() missing a "if (unlikely(!sock->ops->sendpage))" check before calling.
Thanks for reminding me about this - I remember the exploit, but didn't check into the details; only knew that "local ring0 through socket-code bug"

Our story
In a nutshell. It's where we found some of the finest ingredients for our products. We searched the world over to unearth nature's bounty–all kinds of nuts, berries, fruits and plants. We even picked up a few ancient secrets along the way. Inspired by the natural resources found in Brazil's rainforest regions, nuNAAT® was founded.
We began fusing nature with modern science, creating an array of extraordinary hair care products. As a division of Brazil's M. Cassab Group, we carefully crafted our line with the belief that–with the right combination of natural ingredients–everyone can have great hair. After trying our products, others began believing it too. And just like that, nuNAAT® was discovered."

Product Highlights
The 16x32 StabilEyes VR Image Stabilized Binocular from Nikon offers steady viewing previously unavailable from handheld optics of this magnification. Integrated sensors and servo motors counteract vertical and horizontal motion as well as rolling motion commonly experienced while viewing from a moving vehicle. A fully multicoated optical path and phase-correction prism coating allow the StabilEyes VR binocular to transmit a bright image that is color faithful and rich with contrast.
Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) system stabilizes the image by adjusting the binocular's prisms inside a gimbaled housing—allowing up to 3° of motion compensation on each axis. The image stabilized view improves image sharpness and can minimize eye fatigue commonly experienced during long-during observations.
A 15mm eye relief and Turn-and-Slide eyecups with multiple click-stop positions can provide a comfortable viewing distance for almost any viewer. The 56° apparent viewing angle and 11.5 ft minimum focus distance equip the 16x32 StabilEyes VR for intermediate to long-range viewing tasks. In addition to the image quality rendered by fully multicoated optics and VR system, the StabilEyes VR binocular features a nitrogen-filled housing that provides fogproof and waterproof performance.

The Pittsburgh, Pa.-based pharmaceutical marketer, in concert with its interactive agency Arnold Interactive New York, tasked bicoastal entertainment-marketing shop Buzztone to create a version of its Web-based Buzzalong product. GlaxoSmithKline hopes to generate enthusiasm online for its new promotion while at the same time accruing savings in its online ad budget.
The promotion offers kids the chance to create a new animated character for Oxy's advertising. The Buzzalong promotes the contest, while also offering gaming, AOL Instant Messenger buddy icons, Yahoo! Instant Messaging Skins and a link to Oxy's new TV ads.
"It was like sending a little piece of the Oxy Web site to each of these kids and allowing them to take ownership and forward it to each other and create buzz for us," said Chris Saltmar, Oxy associate brand manager at GlaxoSmithKline. "Certainly there is a branded message, but we've done a nice job in making that secondary and having the focus be on engaging teens with something cool."
%%PULLQUOTE_RIGHT%% According to John Fischetti, director of interactive marketing at Arnold Interactive, the advantage of the Buzzalong is that it was pre-selected by "smaller, more granular pop culture sites" on the Internet that have a rabid following, which is an indication the quality of the impressions are high. "These sites take these Buzzalongs and offer them for free so you're not paying for media placement," explained Fischetti. "They have large followings, more so than the bigger sites that we normally buy media on." The sites include TeenHollywood.com and Idol Online.
"Because Buzzalongs contain valued content and promotions that can be infinitely co-branded, we are able to motivate an unlimited number of Web site partners to showcase them with a sense of ownership, thereby delivering higher click-throughs and impressions," said Steve Yanovsky, Buzztone's VP-BuzzBrand Marketing.
The promotion started June 1 and is running through August 31.
Darcy Sefer, Oxy brand manager said, "The early results are encouraging and we think this is an absolutely innovative way to reach teens."
The project is on track to exceed impression goals of 1million and click-through from Buzzalong into the contest is 37%.

Ratings for Dr. MATTHEW D. Vrees
I have been going to Dr. Vrees since 2006, at first he was great until everything he tried to help me failed. Then he became rude on occasions. I agree with the other reviews on how he would schedule a major surgery then leave on vacation the next day. I ended up having major problems and had to have other doctors who didn't know my case take care of me. As for the office help, they are the worse, except for "c". She is very nice but "D" is the rudest, uncaring person and the way she acts, she would be fired in any other office for being so unprofessional. There was confusion with my insurance and the insurance person called their office and she thought I said something making them call, which I didn't so she called me and screamed at me. I could go on about her but I think that should be enough said. If you ever need to talk to the doctor he doesn't call back. To sum it up Dr. vrees is a great doctor with a good bedside manner if there are no problems but soon as there are he takes it on you. They need to fire certain office help to make it a less stressful atmosphere.
With out a doubt the most professional, courteous, and knowledgeable Dr I have ever had!
Botched surgery. Poor bedside manner. Terrible with family. Did not fully inform family and was cold and disinterested in helping patient understand and accept the result.
I have been seeing Dr. Vrees for over 5 years. I have a rare case and the worse he has seen. At First bedside manner was great but as time goes on he has changed. He has been rude on some visits and unsympathetic because he can't fix my problem. He rarely will call you to answer any questions. He will be all interested in helping then I don't hear from him and then I have to make another appointment just to get a answer answered. The staff can be mean, and waiting time on the phone to talk to them can be over 20 minutes. Overall I do think Dr. Vrees is very smart and when things are going right he will be very friendly. He does need to warn the patient who just has been operated on that he will be going on vacation. Many times I had surgery and the next day I expected to see him but left on vacation so I had a different doctor taking care of me. I honestly would not have chosen a different surgeon because I do feel that he is one of the best but some things should be changed
Dr. Vrees is an excellent surgeon. He was my surgeon in 2010 when I found out that I have colon cancer. Both Dr. Vrees and the staff at Miriam Hospital took very good care of me.
he's the BEST colorectal surgeon in RI, PERIOD...absolutely AMAZING
Nice doctor. Office staff is incompetent and appointment setting/communication is the worse I have ever come across. When director of practice was contacted-there was no response to my major concerns.Even my primary doctor who recommended the group got no response. Changed doctors.
Extremely poor bedside manner. he was great until the operation was done, then he was not around.

SPRINGFIELD -- Gov. Pat Quinn today flatly refused to apologize for his testimonials to the honesty of his now-indicted predecessor, Rod Blagojevich, when the two ran for re-election as a team in 2006, according to the Tribune's Clout Street.
"No, I don't think apologies are necessary," Quinn said after an Earth Day event at the Executive Mansion. "I think, what we want to do is, if people find out things that aren't right, you roll up your sleeves and you correct them. That's what I have believe in all my life."
Quinn defended Blagojevich as they sought re-election in October 2006 -- just weeks before voters went the ballot box and five months after federal investigators revealed they were investigating "endemic hiring fraud" in the Blagojevich administration.
Quinn, then lieutenant governor, maintained Blagojevich had "always been a person who's honest and one of integrity."

Salutations, humans, lizard-folk, and otherwise,
This week is the launch of our March/April issue, and it's all about monsters. This is our celebration of all things fanged and scaled and tentacled and other and different—from people on the periphery to literal monsters loving and embracing their own monstrousness.
A big part of our inspiration for this issue theme was our interview with Nino Cipri back in the September/October 2017 issue—it's definitely worth revisiting. We discussed their piece, "A Silly Love Story," which you can view here.
While planning this issue, we really wanted to explore every facet of monstrousness. Some pieces are all about defiance and uncompromising self-love in spite of it all—see "Medusa" by Rita Feinstein and "Those Below" by Sarah Helen. Other pieces touch on the loneliness and sense of isolation that might come with otherness—check out "Man of Straw" by Russell Nichols and "Crop Circles" by Wynter Cox.

Michigan State University is explaining its new energy transition plan to a potentially global audience.
MSU president Lou Anna Simon hosted an online panel discussion about the new energy plan Wednesday, less than a week after its formal approval. The university's strategy calls for producing 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025 while cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Gil Sperling says the federal government will watch MSU to ensure it remains accountable.
"We're going to hold MSU to its promise by asking them to submit to us their transition plan, and also to provide regular updates about what they spend, what the impact is on energy; and we're going to post this all publicly," Sperling says.
The Department of Energy will not impose sanctions if MSU fails to meet its promised benchmarks. Various student groups have criticized the plan as not being aggressive enough.

Peterborough Prison death 'not preventable', report finds
The death of an inmate in a violent attack at Peterborough Prison could not have been prevented by the jail's mental health team, a report has found.
One of the prisoners who killed Brian Haynes in 2008 was known to be violent, but his role in the killing could not have been predicted, it said.
But the investigation found the care he received was "at best cursory".
Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust said it had already acted on the report's recommendations.
It was produced by an independent panel commissioned by the NHS.
Although the report does not name individuals, the BBC understands it refers to death of Mr Haynes, 33, who died of a heart attack after he was beaten in his cell on 11 September 2008.
Three fellow prisoners - Sebastian Waller, Shane Farrington and Paul Jefford - were later jailed for his manslaughter.
It is not known which of them is the prisoner referred to in the report as "Mr A".
'Difficult working environment'
The report said Mr A was displaying a potential personality disorder when he sought help from the prison's Mental Health In-Reach Team (MHIRT).
But the team missed opportunities to help him, and he was twice assessed by people who were not qualified.
The unit soon faced a "very heavy caseload of some very vulnerable and mentally unhealthy individuals", the report found.
It said the team was isolated from the rest of the health trust and from other prisons, and there were "significant funding issues", contributing to a "very difficult working environment".
The report found that while Mr A's violent behaviour was predictable, it could not be anticipated that he would kill someone unless there was a contributory factor - in this case, Mr Haynes's pre-existing heart disease.
The panel did not believe Mr Haynes's death could have been prevented by the MHIRT.
Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, which provides health services in Whitemoor, Littlehey and Peterborough prisons, said that the care it provided had changed "a great deal" since 2008.
It said it had commissioned its own independent review in 2009 and had drawn up an action plan to address the latest recommendations.
"Patient care is our number one priority - whether they are in our wards, in the community or in prison - and we will always co-operate with local authorities and other independent agencies to ensure we are delivering the highest quality services," it said.

Workcenters and Routesby
Alp ŞEBER
Dear All,
I am wondering for the work centers in odoo, should we define copies of work centers for different items using the same work center?
We would like to calculate the costs so the items using same work centers have different preparation and cycling times. It is maybe possible by using routes for cycling time but I don't know how it will effect the costing of products.
Any advice will be appreciated

WALTHAM, Mass.- Boston's Kevin Garnett is expected to miss at least a week with inflammation in his left ankle as the Celtics practice patience with their 36-year-old star.
Coach Doc Rivers, preparing his team for a playoff run, said on Monday he doesn't think Garnett will be out for the long term.
"I don't know what long term is," Rivers said. "If you mean that he's not going to play this year, no, I don't worry about that. But can he miss four or five games? Yeah, that's possible."
Garnett sat out Saturday's 110-106 loss at Memphis and will miss Tuesday's home game against the New York Knicks, Rivers said.
Garnett's absence may hurt the Celtics' chances to move up from the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but Rivers wants the veteran to be as healthy as possible when he returns.
"We're going to err on the right side," he said. "If they give me an option of 'you can play him every third game or give him two weeks rest,' I can tell you right now, I'm going to say 'two weeks rest' … because at the end of the day, I want him right. I don't want him half right."
Guard Courtney Lee, who missed the game against the Grizzlies with a sprained left ankle, might return on Tuesday, Rivers said.
The health problems are the latest in a string of injuries that already have sidelined guards Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa and forward Jared Sullinger for the season. Barbosa was traded to the Washington Wizards after being hurt.
"Kevin went down and Courtney Lee going down, sometimes it kind of wears on you mentally because that's pretty much how the season has gone for us," Paul Pierce said. "Some way, somehow we've got to pick ourselves back up. It's been kind of devastating with the injuries so far, but we've got to find a way to persevere and fight through it."
Tuesday's game could be a preview of a first-round playoff series, and Pierce thinks beating the Knicks on Tuesday or Sunday — or both — could send a message.
"You get a chance to beat them a couple of more times, it really takes away a team's confidence going into the playoffs and so that's got to be a little extra motivation," Pierce said.
The Knicks (42-26) have won their last four games after losing four in a row.
The Celtics (36-33) have dropped their last four, matching their second longest losing streak of the season.

Of all of the career choices that one could make in a privileged and educated society like ours, what would possess someone to choose to be a teacher? Surely it's not the money, what other profession is so infamously underpaid as teachers? Deciding to teach is also deciding to forever look for summer jobs and drive economy cars.
If it's not the money, then it is definitely not the prestige. For those of us who have experienced the parent-teacher conference in which the parent "graciously makes some room in their schedule" to spend 15 minutes enduring the teacher's blathering on, it is obvious that many people still believe George Bernard Shaw's famous words "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach". No, those who teach must choose the job despite society's apparent lack of respect for the profession.
So again, why would anyone decide to become a teacher?
As I sit here, typing on my classroom computer while my students devise ingenious ways to avoid doing their assignment, it occurs to me that choosing to teach is the act of either a fool or a lunatic. Don't misunderstand; I have been teaching for eight years now, and I have loved each year more than the one preceding it. Until my rock star career works out, I can't imagine doing anything else. I understand now, why people love to teach, and continue doing it, but I still wonder why anyone would be drawn to the profession.
I know we've all had a teacher at some time in our lives who made their mark. Maybe they taught us the periodic table or to understand Shakespeare despite our own efforts to avoid the knowledge. Maybe they simply cared about us and challenged us to be a better person. I guess in some small measure, this could help you become motivated to pursue teaching, in the same way that having a painful cavity filled would make you want to pursue dentistry, or getting your car's air conditioning fixed in the hot summer would make you want to be a mechanic. No, that doesn't make sense to me, either.
There must be something else then, another desire, perhaps at a subconscious level, something about "doing something important with your life".
After having taught more than 250 students at seven different grade levels, this I believe: that the best part of teaching is the kids. It's knowing that in the hours and hours that I spend working side by side with these little leaders-to-be, some of who I am is rubbing off. I am contributing to the sum of parts that eventually turns these kids into who they will become.
So, maybe it really boils down to the ancient yearning for immortality, to the belief that "I am so great, I need to impart some of who I am to as many people as possible while I have the chance".
Ah, maybe I'm wrong. After all, summer vacation and spring break are nice incentives, too.

Pullets egg tastes weird
Posted: 01 Aug 2014, 16:51
My pullet has been laying for a month now and I've just had her on a 3 day course of doxycycline because one of my flock fell ill and I thought they should have a dose as well. Anyway, while she was on the course and 72 hours after she had finished her course I threw her eggs away but she laid yesterday and I fried the egg last night. The yoke was lovely but the white of the egg was very powdery/ bitty. My hens I had five years ago went like that and never changed, so is it something I am feeding them. They have there layers crumble constantly, mealworms after she has laid an egg then at night they have a few par cooked veg and corn on the cob. They have access to cabbage,spinach, and I always go and pick grass from my front garden and cut it up for them.

Applications, or apps, help you with a variety of day-to-day tasks. When you find one you want to share with others, one way to do so is through a text message. Keep in mind charges may apply to the downloader, and it will cost you a text if sent from your phone.
Share Link
The easiest way to share an app over text is with a built-in button on your phone or computer. Browse your application store from your cellphone provider or through the application creator. Click "Share" and choose "Via Text." Type the 10-digit phone number and send the application link.
Email Link
When browsing applications online, you can use your email to text a link to an application to a friend's phone. Copy the application's location and paste it into the body of the email. Type your friend's 10-digit phone number into the "to" field, followed by the designated domain for his cellphone provider. When complete, click "Send," and the application's link will text to your friend's phone for viewing and possible download.
Some provider's emails include: Sprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com Verizon: @vtext.com T-Mobile: @tmomail.net AT&T: @txt.att.net
Forward Link
If an application is texted to your phone from another person, you can forward this text on to your friends. There's no way to directly text an app to a phone, but the link is valid for anyone who wishes to download the app. Choose "Forward" from your menu options and select the recipient from your contact book. Follow the link to download the application.
Video of the Day
IM Link
Use AOL Instant Messenger to text an application to a phone. Much like emailing the link to a friend, type the friend's 10-digit phone number into the "To" box. Paste the link into the message box and click "Send." The link will then be texted to your friend's phone.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superconductor Technologies Inc. (STI) (Nasdaq:SCON), a world leader in the development and production of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, is scheduled to present at the Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC) held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland from October 7th to 12th. STI will exhibit its Conductus® superconducting wire in Exhibit Hall B at booth 55. Jeong Huh, Ph.D., will present in the session "Development of 2G HTS Coated Conductors at STI" on Monday, October 8th at 11:45 a.m. PT.
"STI will report on the advantages of our second generation (2G) superconducting wire," said Adam Shelton, STI's VP of Product Line Management and Marketing. "Our Conductus wire addresses the challenges of volume, cost and performance required to enable the routine use of superconducting wire in applications such as power cables and fault current limiters. We are excited to participate in ASC 2012, an event marking the beginning of the second century of superconductivity."
Dr. Huh will speak on the fabrication of 2G HTS coated conductors using reactive co-evaporation with cyclic deposition and reaction (RCE-CDR) of HTS films onto simplified templates. RCE-CDR is a low-cost, high-yield, scalable process for deposition of HTS films with the advantage that the composition of the films can be precisely varied and reproducibly controlled. At present STI has fabricated samples on simplified IBAD templates that support >500 A/cm-width at 77 K, SF. At all angles of a 3-T applied magnetic field, STI has achieved a minimum Ic value of >250 A/cm-width at 65 K. STI reached this performance without the introduction of artificial pinning centers, simplifying the design and improving yield. STI will also report on the properties of longer lengths of tape.
ASC 2012 brings together leaders in the commercial, military, research, university, and industrial communities from around the world to discuss progress and challenges in the field of applied superconductivity. The event features several plenary sessions focusing on what the industry might expect to see in the next century of superconductivity in science and applications; exhibitors from major superconducting and cryogenic companies; and daily technical discussions from attendees from 70 countries.

2015-16 Gender Roles
Gender Roles, Relationships, Realities
Few elements of our identity may seem more basic than the "It's a girl!" or "It's a boy!" announcement at a birth. Yet we all recognize that gender roles are not fixed across time or consistent across cultures. How do—and should—we determine the roles that women and men play?
In our conversations, classes and presentations, we anticipate exploring a wide range of gender questions throughout the year. For instance, in the United States and around the world, how do girls and boys differently experience education? How do boys and girls decide what career to pursue? Is Title IX still important? How do media and advertising portrayals of women and men shape our gender assumptions? Does the gender pay gap persist and, if so, how should we respond? How do women and men understand their roles as parents? What attitudes about masculinity and femininity persist that contribute to the reality of sexual violence? Does a gender binary like man/woman still make the most sense in a contemporary worldview? How can Christian understandings of gender roles inform contemporary conversations regarding gender in the church and the world?

Master in Theatre
Stage direction is the art to transform, translate and build architectures of meaning and transient feelings that are essential to human beings.
Oriented towards artistic research and its applications, this course adopts a practical approach to creativity and the hybridization of disciplines. It aims to train creative individuals capable of maintaining and renewing the aesthetic paradigms of the stage. The degree is offered in collaboration with Switzerland's three other drama schools, namely Berne (HKB), Zurich (ZHdK) and Verscio (STD), as part of the Master-Campus-Theatre (MCTS) programme.
Practical information
Course objectives
- To master the dramatic, scenographic and technical tools and languages of the stage ;
- To develop one's own personal artistic discourse ;
- To be able to critically analyse and put in perspective knowledge, theories, and practices ;
- To be able to elaborate and develop an artistic research problematic ;
- To reach creative and administrative autonomy in the setting of a professional stage production.
Course content
The course is modular. Subjects covered during the degree are by their nature complementary:
- The creative process, actors and chronicles of the director's art.
- Space, architecture, performance locales, stage design.
- Theoretical and historical aspects of stage direction, theatrical art.
- Relations with other artistic disciplines, fusion.
Students choose their course from three types of modules :
- Tools: lessons and seminars that provide working tools and encourage critical analysis of the art of stage direction.
- Workshops: practical sessions accompanied by recognised professionals, giving rise to creative projects and shows presented in public.
- Master's project: artistic research comprising a theoretical part (written work akin to a dissertation) and a practical part (public performance).
Additional modules are also studied within the Master Campus Theatre programme (dramaturgy, drama teaching, performance, stage design, etc.). Work at the end of the course involves the organisation of a mini-festival offering real visibility to students for the launch of their professional careers.
Research plays an important part in the programme. It will be expected from the students an investment into the school's performing arts research projects.

Listen to... Justin Timberlake - Take back the night
Justin is officially done with the first part of The 20/20 experience. Those "Tunnel vision" titties haven't been on YouTube for 14 days and he is already dropping a follow up single from the second part of The 20/20 experience. I can not believe RCA records let Justin pass on releasing "Don't hold the wall" and "Let the groove get in" as singles - something I will stay mad that Justin for until he's back with Britney and pigs fly.
Now let's talk about JT's new-new and get the obvious out the way. This shit sounds like Michael Jackson. Most of Justin Timberlake's material wreaks of Michael's Saturday night weave. But "Take back the night" sounds like some straight Off the wall Quincy shit. It's a nice song. I like it. But it's nothing amazing. It's very pedestrian. And as with half of the songs on The 20/20 experience, it's 2 minutes too long. It doesn't even feature a middle 8 or a beat switch.
If this is the kind of vibe JT is going for for his second part to The 20/20 experience, then I hope Pharrell Williams is / was a part of it. I've been waiting on P and JT to team up again since Justified. I'd love to hear what the 2 of them would cook up in the studio now. Especially with Justin on his throwback shit and Pharrell having gone old skool with Daft Punk and Nile Rodgers. Robin Thicke would spit blood over that reunion, I'm sure.
