Okay, I'll give it a shot!
That's a really nice screen shot? Oh and look! They've managed a Gecko port to their C++ API! Isn't that just lovely for them, just think if they keep it up they'll manage to get an A++ in there some where. Jolly good of them to bring Wikipedia to the desktop! I say just think of the possibilities--an encyclopedia ANYONE can edit! What will they think of next? What WILL they think of next! I can hardly wait for next month's regularly scheduled beta release so we'll all have another screen shot to gawk at!
Y'know maybe you're on to something after all...

Glossy ribbon corset
Added Jun 17, 2011
by hanlight
Portsmouth, Unit...
This is my second underbust corset project made using the Laughing Moon Underbust Corset pattern, this time I made a ribbon corset.
The panels are PVC backed onto coutil and rather than satin ribbons I used printed cotton ribbon. I have picked out the angles of the ribbons using satin and grosgrain ribbon attached with basic hand embroidery. The lining is cotton.
I learnt a lot making this, especially that PVC is a tough fabric to work with – totally unforgivable, un-ironable and cannot be pinned easily. This may be the last time I use it!
I also found out that my 1923 Singer is the best for boning channels and doesn't get stuck to the PVC like my modern machine. It is my new best friend.

PVC, steel boning, cotton, ribbon

This is stunning, I love it and want one for myself! Ribbon corsets have always looked confusing to me, are they as confusing as they look? Love the cupcake lining too! great job :)

Thankyou!! I would say it was easier than a typical corset and the laughing moon pattern has very clear instructions. Give it a go! :0)

The corset is beautifully done. Very creative use of the ribbon.Not sure if you've tried it, but putting a piece of tape (Masking tape works well, just make sure you leave the middle open for the needle) under the foot will help when sewing pvc. It keeps it from sticking to the machine (most machines have a TEFLON foot attachment you can buy as well for fabric that is slick or sticks). In the past I've also tried the tissue paper method and the baby powder method to keep pvc/vinyl from sticking while sewing it. I wouldn't suggest pinning pvc since the holes are slow to close up but a standard stapler is handy and usually leaves tiny holes that will close up. When storing unused pieces of pvc/vinyl make sure you roll it up instead of folding it and it will keep creases and folds at bay. Hope you decide to give pvc another chance because your work so far is truly lovely.

Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out of the force--the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law, during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first, the bad guys, then, the L.A.P.D.--led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first.

Sony Tests Anti-CD Burning Technology
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Music,
Sony is testing out some new Anti-CD burning technology in hopes of stopping what they refer to as "school-yard piracy". Ah, when will they learn? I mean it takes them how long to come up with a "new" anti-piracy technology; and it takes people how long to come up with a work around? Even without someone breaking the security there's always some other method to work around it. Nonetheless, Sony's new method allows consumers to make limited copies of protected discs, but blocks users from making copies of the copies

PS3's RSX Processor Not Done
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: PlayStation 3,
Turns out that the Playstation 3's RSX processor is not done; not only is it not done but its not even near done. According to NVIDIA's CFO, Marv Burkett, the RSX processor's silicon is not even taped out, meaning it's being finalized now and will be ready by Christmas – in time for a spring 2006 launch. That being the case, what were the Sony guys showing us at E3? They were boasting left and right about what the RSX processor can do, but there is no processor yet. According to Burkett, the technology demos were being showcased in an upcoming new desktop product with similar capabilities of the RSX. As bit-tech.net puts it, "So, if NVIDIA's upcoming part is capable of all that we saw demonstrated at the press conference, what is RSX capable of?" Seriously, when will we really see what these things can do?

iEmulator: Windows on your Mac
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: PC / Laptop, Software,
If you're a Mac user but still need to run Windows software, but don't want to pay the high price for VirtualPC, iEmulator is a new, low-cost, high-performance PC emulator.
Designed for MacOS X 10.3.0 or above, it reportedly runs Win98 or 2000 with the least difficulty, so if WinXP is your thing, you may be out of luck. However, for everyday tasks requiring Windows (such as the web designer who needs to check browser compatibility or a real estate broker who needs to use his company's proprietary Windows-platform-only software), this could herald a huge breakthrough for Apple users who have no desire to have a "backup" PC.
Features include the ability to designate up to 1GB of RAM to the emulated PC, access Mac format files within the PC environment, Windows boot disk creation for installation, and even a DOS operating environment. And with a price tag under $25, it's a bargain buy for a die-hard Macintosh user, with the added bonus of directly supporting the software developer, rather than some big multi-million-dollar corporation.

Buzz Marketing
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Planning,
Business 2.0 has an interesting article on how some companies are going from broke startups to multi-million dollar enterprises almost overnight on a shoestring budget and minimal employees. The article discusses how these clever entrepreneur used outsourced workers and free "Buzz Marketing" tactics such as exploiting blogs and online forums to beat much bigger rivals. I especially found interesting the list of companies/products that became successful due to being featured on high-traffic blog sites. Buzz Marketing, a trendy name for word-of-mouth advertising, has been a hot topic over the last few years as ad firms try to figure out how to get people talking about products and services without being sniffed out as blatant advertising. Some even go so far as to hire people who post in forums and chat rooms under the guise of fans, customers or just you average Joe asking questions to start a conversation about the product or service being promoted. Buzz Marketing (or "guerilla marketing" as I like to call it) can make your business a success at little to no cost. Just make sure that if you launch a campaign of this type, you keep you methods low key and relevant to the content of the sites you post on. Being seen as "trying" to advertise can not only wined up getting you no customers but can get you a bad reputation. Here's an old but still good article on Buzz Marketing from BusinessWeek online.

Who's behind the financial meltdown?
The top subprime lenders whose loans are largely blamed for triggering the global economic meltdown were owned or backed by giant banks now collecting billions of dollars in bailout money — including several that have paid huge fines to settle predatory lending charges. The banks that funded the subprime industry were not victims of an unforeseen financial collapse, as they have sometimes portrayed themselves, but enablers that bankrolled the type of lending threatening the financial system.Check out the full report.
According to the analysis:
- At least 21 of the top 25 subprime lenders were financed by banks that received bailout money — through direct ownership, credit agreements, or huge purchases of loans for securitization.
- Nine of the top 10 lenders were based in California, including all of the top five — Countrywide Financial Corp., Ameriquest Mortgage Co., New Century Financial Corp., First Franklin Corp., and Long Beach Mortgage Co.
- Twenty of the top 25 subprime lenders have closed, stopped lending, or been sold to avoid bankruptcy. Most were non-bank lenders.
- Eleven of the lenders on the list, including four recipients of bank bailout funds, have made payments to settle claims of widespread lending abuses.

so to catch this pet it takes 2000 commendations from killing the opposing factions npc in krasarang and so i thought maybe we could help out fellow collectors by posting if we have the tokens to buy the crate and then get a group of people together in order to allow other collectors to have a chance at this pet.
I myself only have a pitiful 300 tokens but if anyone is about to buy it why not post here and help others out. Hopefully together we can all get the pet for our collection

Syracuse University
Syracuse University is driven by its vision, Scholarship in Action—a commitment to forging bold, imaginative, reciprocal, and sustained engagements with our many constituent communities, local as well as global. SU is a public good, an anchor institution positioned to play an integral role in today's knowledge-based, global society by leveraging a precious commodity—intellectual capital—with partners from all sectors of the economy: public, private, and non-profit. Each partner brings its strengths to the table, where collectively we address the most pressing problems facing our community. In doing so, we invariably find that the challenges we face locally resonate globally.
We understand that this represents an expansive definition of the role of a university, but as the Kellogg Commission has observed, it is incumbent upon universities today "to reshape our historic agreement with the American people so that it fits the times that are emerging instead of the times that have passed." Today, in a world in which knowledge is paramount, we believe that we best fulfill our role as an anchor institution in our community when:
- We educate fully informed and committed citizens;
- We provide access to opportunity;
- We strengthen democratic institutions;
- We create innovation that matters, and we share knowledge generously;
- We inform and engage public opinion and debate; and
- We cultivate and sustain public intellectuals.
Serving the public good in these ways pervades our daily decision making and connects us not just with our immediate community, but with communities throughout the world. These outward-looking engagements both optimize education and yield new forms of scholarship and new scholarly arrangements, propelling us forward as an academic institution. They allow us not only to create innovations that matter, but to test our notions of who is a scholar and what scholarship is.
Roots of the Vision
Scholarship in Action captures a vital, historical strength of the Central New York region and the City of Syracuse, as well as the University. Our region has a treasured history of social innovation, having played a key role in abolitionism and the women's rights movement. Even those ideas—revolutionary in their own times—found inspiration locally in the indigenous culture of the Haudenosaunee people, whose matriarchal society thrived in the region before the arrival of Europeans and whose form of government inspired our nation's founders.
The process of adopting Scholarship in Action as our vision was organic as well. Chancellor Nancy Cantor dedicated her inaugural year to the theme "University as Public Good: Exploring the Soul of Syracuse." All of SU's stakeholders were invited to share their reflections on our strengths and aspirations for our future—from students, faculty and staff members to alumni to friends of the University to members of the local, regional, and global communities. The many activities of that reflective year revealed profound thoughts and feelings, from which two very clear messages were distilled: (1) universities today must connect more tangibly with their communities and (2) Syracuse University, in particular, is remarkably well positioned to do so. Scholarship in Action is a faithful translation of these messages, a bona fide expression of the identity to which the Syracuse University community aspires.

After growing rapidly during the boom of the 1990s, the net worth of the typical American family rose only 1.5% after inflation between 2001 and 2004, the Federal Reserve said in an update of a survey it does once every three years.GDP grew a hair over 2.1% during the same period. The change was not felt equally, however, as the wealth gap was augmented:
The net worth of the [family at the 90%] rose to $831,600, a 6.5% increase from 2001, adjusted for inflation. In contrast, the net worth of the typical family [at the 25%] fell 1.5% to $13,300.This evidences further the prescience of Herrnstein and Murray, who argued that the new global economy will be one sorted by intelligence, where opportunities for the most endowed expand exponentially, while those with less cognitive firepower find themselves increasingly relegated to a penury existence.
Other recent economic news does not strike me as encouraging. Americans actually spent more than they made last year, and the poverty rate has been on the rise for half a decade. Much of the recent economic expansion has been driven by a surge in real estate prices (another factor in the widening of the wealth gap). The US trade deficit hit a record $726 billion in 2005. Warren Buffet is worried we're giving foreigners a stake in our country (government debt) for cheap consumables that allow us to keep the good times rolling today by selling away our future.
Here's an analogy that illustrates what's happening as my simple mind understands it. I make $30,000 a year working. I spend $40,000 a year buying consumables (stuff that doesn't represent a future monetary benefit). I've been doing this for five years. Fortunately, I own a house that was worth $100,000 five years ago. Every year over the last five its value has been increasing by $11,000. To feed my consumption habits, I've been taking out a home equity loan for $11,000 on an annual basis. Thus, my net worth has been up $1,000 ($30,000income-$40,000spent+$11,000equity) for five years running. But what happens if the value of my house crashes? Or just stops appreciating? My standard of living will have to be adjusted downward drastically. If not, I'll fall into debt and the whole miasma will be compounded by high interest rates. This is not a happy situation. Eventually something's going to give.
Immigration patterns do not help either. Total GDP is growing (recall 2.1% from 2001 to 2004) over 50% faster than the growth of GDP per capita (which grew less than 1.4% from 2001 to 2004). In other words, the economic output of the nation as a whole is increasing a lot faster than the economic output per American is. Much of the GDP growth over this period, then, does not translate into a better standard of living for the average resident.
To grasp this concept, consider what would happen if the US gobbled up Mexico tomorrow. Total GDP would grow by almost 10% in a single day, but GDP per capita would plummet by 20% just as fast. Life would get vastly better for Mexicans as they enjoyed the full benefits of US prosperity and economic might. But the situation would deteriorate drastically for most Americans, especially those in the lower class who would find themselves competing with tens of millions of mestizos more than happy to do dirty work for $5.15 an hour with no benefits.
"So what," the good libertarian would ask. "Labor will be cheaper and businesses will make bigger profits." Indeed they would, at least in the short run (necessity being the mother of invention, places like Japan that are mechanizing rather than chasing the cheapest serf are going to create robots that can work more effectively and cheaply than even the most diligent cacique). But the profits of big business would be subsidized by Joe American. The Mexican laboring for minimum wage is now entitled to the full buffet that is the US welfare system and the costs that accompany it--$8,000 or so per year for each child (another $3,000 annually if the whelp needs ESL services), infrastructure use, medical services, police and fire, pollution, increased population density, linguistic barrier costs, ad infinitum. Just looking at two kids with ESL brings the taxpayer a bill of more than $20,000. We're lucky if the hard working Mexican is paying $5,000 in taxes.
I use the extreme example of combining the US and Mexico into Amerixico to illustrate what is in effect already happening, albeit at a considerably slower pace than our hypothetical overnight shift. One-fifth of ethnic Mexicans now live in the United States, and the number is growing everyday. It's great for the average Mexican, who goes from making five bucks a day to five bucks an hour. If I was in his situation, I'd probably do the same. It's also great for the Mexican government, which exports its social problems north of the border and gets $17 billion a year in cash in return. It's great for agro-business and other heavily labor intensive industries that enjoy an increased labor supply and therefore less powerful unions and lower wages. But it's terrible for the US native who is footing the bill while jobs are going to immigrants who do not spend the money in the local community but instead send it back home.
We should create a merit immigration system that imports people who are going to be net benefits rather than public costs in tandem with a barrier along the southern border to stop low-value adding illegal immigration. Stop pouring money into the fruitless Middle East and invest it in alternative energy development. Energy independence would keep the $200 billion or so we'll spend on foreign oil this year in the country and starve the terrorism beast. Making the coal-to-gas process economically viable would allow us to actually become a net energy exporter because we have so much coal. Support federal and state vouchers to improve educational efficacy and cut costs brought on by ineffective teachers and bloated administrative bureaucracies. Legalize euthanasia to blunt the entitlement tidal wave that is the retiring baby boomer generation. Provide financial incentives (e.g., phase the child tax credit and the child dependency exemption in progressively rather than regressively) for wealthy people to have more children and for poor people to have fewer ones to close the wealth gap and raise the national IQ.

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS � Four local high school students have earned trips to Washington, D.C. as part of the nationally recognized Youth Tour education program hosted by America�s electric cooperative community.
DeFUNIAK SPRINGS � Four local high school students have earned trips to Washington, D.C. as part of the nationally recognized Youth Tour education program hosted by America�s electric cooperative community.
The students are Rachel Gold, Niceville High School; Devin Herrington, Freeport High School; Brandon Engler, Baker High School; and Christopher Hammonds, Paxton High School.
Two alternates, Samantha Arvin, Collegiate High School, and JP Talty, Niceville High School, also were selected.
The Youth Tour program is sponsored locally by Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative, Inc., or CHELCO. It will cover the cost of sending the students to the nation�s capital from June 15-20.
In Washington, the local high school juniors and hundreds of others across the country served by electric cooperatives will be guests of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. The itinerary includes meeting federal lawmakers and visiting the Smithsonian museums, among many other activities.
A standing ovation greeted the winners when they were announced at CHELCO�s annual Youth Tour banquet Feb. 28.
Three judges interviewed 17 contestants for the Washington trip. The students had 10 minutes each to impress the panel with their knowledge of CHELCO, the science of electricity, current affairs or other types of questions. Additional factors in winning were their poise and ability to communicate under pressure.
Along with the students selected by the judges for the Washington trip, the following received certificates at the banquet for being chosen by their schools to participate in CHELCO�s 30th annual Youth Tour: Sophia Chaitha, Baker School; Holley Nicholson and Joseph Printy, Crestview High School; Noah Simmons, Freeport High School; Jessica Fickett, Laurel Hill School; Shelby Cain, Paxton High School; Claire Gunter, Rocky Bayou Christian School; Solomon Tape, South Walton High School; Alix Bikker, Collegiate High School; and Hunter Bell and Samantha Kirby, Walton High School.
CHELCO is a not-for-profit electric cooperative serving Walton and Okaloosa counties, and portions of Holmes and Santa Rosa counties.

Mo Yan, the Chinese author best known for his 1987 novel Red Sorghum, has received the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature.
After months of speculation, the announcement was made at a press conference in Stockholm early today by Peter Englund, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, who described Mo Yan's work as "hallucinatory realism," and lauded the author for his stylistically unique and culturally important contributions to the international literary community.
Mo Yan was born in 1955 to a farming family and raised in the rural Shandong Province of China, which serves as the setting for many of his novels and short stories. He grew up during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and began writing while serving in the People's Liberation Army. His first short story was published in 1981. Including Red Sorghum, which was published in English in 2003 by Viking and adapted for film by Zhang Yimou, Mo Yan is the author of ten novels, among them The Garlic Ballads (1988, published in English in 1995), The Republic of Wine (1992, published in English in 2000), Big Breasts and Wide Hips (1996, published in English in 2004), Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out (2006, published in English in 2008), and Sandalwood Death (2004, to be published in English in 2013), and more than eighty short stories. His most recent book, Wa, was published in Chinese in 2009.
Widely recognized for his pointed criticism of contemporary Chinese society, the author—whose given name is Guan Moye—adopted the pen name Mo Yan, which means "don't speak," to reflect the time in which he grew up, when citizens were unable to safely criticize those in power. "There is a very strong moral core in [his writing]," Englund said in an interview following the prize announcement. "It's about ordinary people struggling—struggling to survive, struggling for their dignity—sometimes winning, but most of the time losing."
One of China's most prolific and well-known writers, Mo Yan is celebrated not just for his engagement with Chinese history and politics, but also for his unique craft. "Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition," the Swedish Academy said in a statement.
Mo Yan is only the second Chinese writer to receive the Nobel Prize, following novelist Gao Xingjian in 2000. Other recent recipients have included Turkey's Orhan Pamuk, Britain's Doris Lessing, France's Jean-Marie Gustave le Clezio, Germany's Herta Muller, and Peru's Mario Vargas Llosa. Last year, the prize went to Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer.
Speaking to the China News Service, Mo Yan said he was overjoyed to have won. "But I do not think that my winning can be seen as representing anything," he said. "I think that China has many outstanding authors, and their great works should also be recognized by the world."
Administered annually since 1901 by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, the Nobel Prize is awarded internationally for outstanding achievements in literature, physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and peace. Candidates for the prize in literature are invited to submit by the Nobel Committee, and recipients are selected by the eighteen-member Swedish Academy. Mo Yan will receive the prize, which includes a cash award and medal, on December 10 in Stockholm.

The Lenawee County Police Chiefs Association warns parents to be on the lookout for instances of minors "sexting."
Law enforcement agencies report seeing an increase in the number of incidents where minors take nude photos of themselves and transmit them with their cellphones, according to a news release.
The association reminds people that such activity might not only be illegal, but once transmitted, the images are no longer under the creator's control. The images can be saved and shared many times over. Investigators will seize cellphones and other electronic devices that may contain child pornography.
The chiefs are asking parents to discuss this issue with their children and make them aware of the risks involved. Sending such photos is considered a felony and potentially punishable with a prison sentence and a fine.
More information on sexting is online available from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at www.missingkids.com/Netsmartz or from Education.com.
Information is also available from local police departments, the Michigan State Police, the Lenawee County Sheriff's Department and the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office.

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is one of the first cars to use an aluminum space frame. It is also the most spacious of all the Ferraris because of its design and build. The body and short deck of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti pay homage to the Ferrari 375 of 1954.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It is the largest road car manufactured by Ferrari. It seats four, detouring from the usual 2+2 design. The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is named after famous coachbuilder and Modena stylist Sergio Scaglietti. The six in 612 denotes the liter displacement, and the 12 denotes the number of cylinders.
The all-aluminum chassis of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti marks the second time Ferrari has produced an all-aluminum vehicle, after its groundbreaking 360 Modena. The company collaborated with Alcoa to form its space frame, which is made from castings and extrusions with the aluminum body welded onto it.
The launch of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti marks the first time a Ferrari was launched in North America. The launch also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the first Ferrari to the United States.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti accommodates four people. It has a well-balanced front-engine, rear-wheel drive system. The car also gains recognition for its strong lines; long, sleek hood; and signature scooped flanks. Moreover, it is relatively lightweight due to its full aluminum structure. Additionally, the owner can customize the interior of the car.
The Ferrari 612 boasts a 540 horsepower, 5748cc V-12 with four valves per cylinder. It has CST (Control for Stability and Traction) as a handling aid. This is the first Ferrari with the CST feature. The car can reach 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti also includes a satellite navigation system, Bluetooth, MP3 player, and flash memory card reader. The card can store up to 4 GB of music.
The instrument panel of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti offers analog and digital display settings. The seats are power adjustable, and the car has an elegant cockpit finish. Its leather door and dash trim match the seats and steering wheel accents.
The last version of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was unveiled in 2011. (The Ferrari FF succeeded it.) The car was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. The latest version of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti incorporates a lot of changes like gasoline hybrid technology. It contains a V-12 engine with at least 533 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque, as well as a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti has the same V-12 engine as the 575M Maranello. The 5.748-liter capacity V-12 has a compression ratio of 11.2 to 1, and it gives the car a top speed of 196 mph. As previously mentioned, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti can reach 62 mph, from a standstill, in 4.3 seconds.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti offers two transmission options. The first is the standard six-speed manual gearbox, and the second is the optional F1-style gearbox system with paddle shifters.
The Ferrari 2004 612 Scaglietti offers two transmission options that each offered six speeds. While F1 fans can opt for a Ferrari six-speed paddle shift system, others can go for a normal six-speed manual. The safety features of the car include an anti-lock brake system, air bags, a parking sensor, a fog lamp, and traction control.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 2008 model was launched at the International Auto Show. This model offers more customization options. It has a Ferrari Manettino dial on the steering wheel, a SuperFast gearbox, a panoramic roof, and a new clutch system for faster shift speeds.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 2008 model also introduces the Bose entertainment system that includes 5.1 digital surround sound, satellite radio, audio and video DVD playback, an on-board TV tuner, and a hands-free cell phone link.
The 2011 model Ferrari 612 Scaglietti has ball-polished modular wheels. It also comes in two-tone paint options. The car performs well, even on sub-par roads. The six-speed manual transmission helps the driver shift gears with great ease. The transmission also allows for well-balanced weight distribution in the front (46 percent) and the rear (54 percent). The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti runs on 18-inch front-wheels and 19-inch rear-wheels.

Exporting? Protect your intellectual property
If you export your products or services, remember that your intellectual property may be exposed to unauthorized use in markets beyond your control. Your intellectual property (IP) needs protection because it consists of your creative ideas and designs of a commercial value. In general, your IP is only protected in Canada, so it's wise to safeguard it in the countries to which you export. For example, if you want to market your new citrus juicer overseas, it makes sense to protect its design, the logo you worked so hard on and the snappy name that stays in consumers' minds.
What role does IP play in your business? Does it provide the competitive edge that makes your business successful?
- If you have assets such as patents, trade-marks, copyrights, industrial designs or integrated circuit topographies, preventing any unauthorized use or copying should be a priority.
- Before registering your IP, find out how you can protect it both at home and abroad. How long is the duration of the protection?
- Do you need to change any trade-marks or logos before breaking into new markets? Is there anything similar available in your target country?
There are IP protection treaties that have been signed by Canada. These, along with international registration systems provided by the World Intellectual Property Organization, could help you register more easily, if necessary, in other countries. The more research you do, the better protected your IP will be.
- What are the regulations regarding intellectual property in the foreign markets you are targeting?
- Using IP databases to do trade-mark, patent and other classification searches may help you find new markets and get to know the competition.
- You might also learn if you are infringing anyone else's intellectual property.
Expert advice from IP professionals such as registered patent or trade-mark agents or specialized lawyers is always useful. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office is a good starting point for your research; try Intellectual Property for Exporting Businesses, an online, step-by-step guide.
As you further explore international regulations, the World Intellectual Property Organization can provide valuable information. Of particular interest may be Secrets of Intellectual Property: A Guide for Small and Medium-sized Exporters.

Hi everybody. How is your life? Everything is fine, right? I come back again in this happy occasion to give you some inspiration about 3d floor plan maker.
The high cost of the house building makes the invention of technology that makes economization become the priority. The building of 3D floor for instance, it usually using concrete cast. This method is not only expensive but it also needs high cost. The time that is spent for this method is also long. It needs for approximately three weeks until the final cast is dry. The process of making concrete cast is often complicated too. There are many tools that are needed. You need cement mixer to make cement slurry. You also need scaffolding wood to prop up the concrete printing. Before the cast is dry, tiled pavement automatically hasn't been able to set. For that reason, as a solution, there is the invention of instant 3d floor. The process of making it is fast and one more thing, it is also cheap. There are some types that are commonly used. Those are ceiling brick and dwidjo blockvloer. The cost of the construction is very economical. It doesn't need scaffolding wood to prop up the concrete printing. Before its being set, the block unit is joined based on the size that is wanted for example the size is four meters. Hopefully, this invention will inspire you in building the third floor. You don't be worry anymore with the high cost of the building because I have given you the best way to construct the cheap 3d floor. In this chance, the concrete cast is not needed so that it is very economical and efficient. As a result, you do not need to worry about the high cost of the construction. Are you really interested in trying it? If so, don't make yourself waiting for a long time. Starting for now on, you need to plan a cheap way of making 3d floor.
Unblocking a toilet is an important and often unpleasant job, but you must to do it. If you know how to unblock a toilet it can save your money to pay plumber. The casual factor that your toilet blocked is when you flush something that bigger than the hole of your toilet or something that could be stuck in the pipe such a diaper, children toys, or small towels. And now I will tell you how to unblock a toilet step by step.
I recommend doing not flushing it, because you just will make the situation worse. Before begin to unblock I think you need a rubber gloves, bucket for water, coat hanger, old newspaper to catch the eruption of the sewage, and the last is cleaning product. And let's unblock your toilet. Use your gloves, and plunging your toilet. Don't forget use the newspaper around the bowl to clean the spills. You need some water and then press the plunger down firmly, then lift it slowly up. Repeat this step until your water start to draining. It could take not so long time if you doing it good. If this way failed, I think with coat hanger will work to unblock your toilet. Here is the guide. Unravel your coat hanger and then slowly push it down until you get the U-bend. And now you must swivel it in your toilet until the blocking thing flow away. And flush your toilet. If this way is still fail, I recommend to use a ''flexi snake'' that available in all plumbing stores. Or you can use chemical drain cleaner to resolve your problem and don't forget to use your gloves.
And after your toilet has been unblocked, then flush it for several times. The best way to unblock your toilet is do not flush big thing in your toilet. Keep your toilets clean and fresh is a good idea. Do not throwing something in that your toilet can't take.

Once you come up with the plans, you can start applying certain ideas to their bedrooms.
To decorate cheap kids' room idea, you should prepare the budget well. With budgeting, you can see whether the money will be used properly or not. But here are some ways to get the children's room ideas used properly in low budget.
Start by using the blank walls. You can't let the walls empty. To be under the budget, you should consider maximize the use of the walls instead of purchasing a lot of useless stuff to fill up the room. You can start asking them, what they want to see on their walls. Whether it is mural painting, framed pictures or accent wall using wallpaper, you should always check the budget.

Some other materials like your old sweater, artificial fruits, and chicken feathers, all of them could be used for some unique and simple Christmas wreath.
Moreover, you could just become more creatively crafted by using some tree leaves which could create pleasing effects from their fragrance, such as eucalyptus tree leaves, lavender leaves, dried lemon or orange slices, flowers, cinnamon sticks, and many others. Using these materials would give you double effects of easy Christmas wreaths, since they could perform as some pleasing decor and pleasing fragrance for your Christmas day. Almost everything can be attained using those simple materials, so you can naturally enjoy your Christmas celebration with ease and happiness.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued the following statement reiterating his support for the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, in light of President Obama's announcement regarding gun policy in America:
"As the father of four young children, I was deeply saddened by the murder of innocent kids at Sandy Hook. In the aftermath of this terrible tragedy, I expressed my hope that President Obama and our elected leaders would take a sober look at how we can prevent such heinous murders in the future. Doing so would require addressing the underlying causes of these evil acts, and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill without curtailing the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
"Nothing the President is proposing would have stopped the massacre at Sandy Hook. President Obama is targeting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence. Rolling back responsible citizens' rights is not the proper response to tragedies committed by criminals and the mentally ill. Making matters worse is that President Obama is again abusing his power by imposing his policies via executive fiat instead of allowing them to be debated in Congress. President Obama's frustration with our republic and the way it works doesn't give him license to ignore the Constitution.
"Guns are not the problem; criminals with evil in their hearts and mentally ill people prone to violence are. Rather than sweeping measures that make it harder for responsible, law-abiding citizens to purchase firearms, we should focus on the root causes of gun violence and keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
"As a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment, I will oppose the President's attempts to undermine Americans' constitutional right to bear arms."

"Sonnymoon For Two". Rollins was hunched and hobbled when he came onstage, but once he started blowing he stood upright and blasted his big bold sound with energy that brooked no diminishment of strength or inspiration, bending only to fire … [Read more...]

Would law school be a waste of time? Am I too old? What is the potential for merging my CPA credential with a JD, especially with the MS Taxation? One of the reasons I became a CPA was to start my own firm what is the potential out there for a law/tax practice? What effect would my age have on my employment prospects after graduating (Jan 2011 is my planned start date)?I should add that I have always wanted to be a lawyer, I am single, no kids and I dont plan to retire.

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, October 19, 2012) –Jorge Miranda (Van Nuys) and Rolando Muñoz (Rancho Cucamonga) of the LA Galaxy Academy were named to the U.S. Under-17 National Team's 20-man roster that will participate in the Four Nations Tournament in Argentina and a pair of friendlies against Uruguay and Paraguay on Oct. 21 and Oct. 27, respectively.
Miranda and Muñoz are currently in Bradenton, Fla., training full-time with the U-17 Men's National Team as part of the 2012 Fall Semester of the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team Residency Program. This is the second time this month that Muñoz and Miranda will represent the U.S. on foreign soil. The duo was part of the U.S. U-17 squad that claimed second place in the AGS Cup in Spain with a 3-1-1 record. Muñoz appeared in all five games played in Spain, while Miranda appeared in two, including the team's 2-1 wins over Morocco and Canada. The U.S. U-17's also beat the United Arab Emirates 2-0, lost to Azerbaijan 1-0 and tied 1-1 with Mexico at the AGS Cup.
Led by Head Coach Richie Williams, the U.S. will begin their trip to Argentina in Buenos Aires with a friendly against Uruguay on Oct. 21. Two days later, the four-team tournament kicks off with the U.S. facing Chile in Santa Fe, Argentina on Oct. 23. The U.S. will then face either Panama or host Argentina, depending on the results, on Oct. 25. They will then conclude their tour with a friendly against Paraguay in Buenos Aires on Oct. 27.
GALAXY U-18'S LOOK TO STAY UNBEATEN: A week after beating rival Chivas USA 3-1 in the U.S. Soccer Development League, the LA Galaxy U-18 team will host Irvine-based Strikers FC at The Home Depot Center Saturday at 10 a.m.
The Galaxy (3-0-1 overall, 2-0-0 SoCal Division) have started the season by getting 10 out of a possible 12 points from their first four game. Forward Jack McBean (Newport Beach) leads the team with four goals, while Cal Poly-bound Justin Dhillon (Rancho Santa Margarita) is second on the team with two goals.
The Strikers (2-1-2 overall, 0-0-1 SoCal Division) boast a four-goal scorer of their own in Paul Salcedo Borrego and a pair of two-goal scorers, the Cal-bound duo of Matthew Chasman and Christian Thierjung.
LA are currently second in the always competitive SoCal Division behind Real Salt Lake-Arizona (4-0-1 overall, 2-0-1 SoCal Division), which has played one more game than the Galaxy.
GALAXY U-16'S SEARCHING FOR FIRST WIN: Still in search of their first win of the season, the Galaxy U-16's host an Irvine-based Striker FC team that is five points ahead of them in the standings.
The Galaxy (0-2-2 overall, 0-2-0 SoCal Division) started the year with draws against non-division foes Seattle and Portland, but have since dropped SoCal Division games against Arsenal and Chivas USA in their last two outings. Last year, the Galaxy's longest winless streak was three. It came in the form of a draw and two losses during the Development Academy Winter Showcase played in Florida in early December. LA did not lose a game after the showcase the rest of the season, which concluded with a 22-game unbeaten streak, winning the SoCal Division Championship and a second-consecutive playoff appearance.
DELOSO-FLOCCO AND ORTIZ LEAD GALAXY U-13 TO 6-2 WIN: Angelo Deloso-Flocco and Jose Ortiz were the stars as the duo combined for three goals and four assists to lead the LA Galaxy U-13's to a 6-2 win over Beach FC. Deloso-Flocco set up a pair of first half goals for Ortiz while Ortiz returned the favor after the break, setting up Deloso-Flocco for a goal of his own.
Brecc Evans gave LA an early 1-0 lead in the 5th minute when he redirected a free kick into the back of the net. After Beach FC tied the score at 1-1 in the 11th minute, Ortiz scored two goals two minutes apart to give the Galaxy a 3-1 lead. Jose Sosa then added to the lead in the 53rd minute and two minutes later Deloso-Flocco made it 5-1. After Beach FC got a goal back, Ortiz linked up with Jacob Muchnick for the day's final goal as LA won 6-2.
With the win, the Galaxy U-13's improved to 4-1-0 in the Southern California Development Soccer League. This weekend, they host CZ Elite at North Torrance High on Saturday morning at 10:25 a.m.
GALAXY U-14'S START SEASON 5-0, FACE ARSENAL THIS WEEKEND: Jesus Nuñez scored twice for the LA Galaxy U-14's as Ante Razov's side improved to 5-0-0 in the season with a 4-0 win over Santa Barbara.
Salvador "Chava" Segura, who leads the team with 11 goals, did not add to his goal tally, but he did help out in the attack assisting on Colin Apel's goal in the 11th minute. Patrick Murphy also got into the mix scoring, finishing off an assist from Pierce Williams in the 42nd minute to make it 3-0. Nuñez finished off the scoring barrage in the 43rd minute with his second of the day to make to make 4-0.
The first-place Galaxy U-14's will be in for a stiff challenge this weekend from Arsenal FC, currently second in the standings with a record of 4-0-1, leaving them two points behind the first place Galaxy. Both teams have only allowed two goals each on the season, while the Galaxy's offense has been nearly twice as proficient, scoring 25 times compared to 13 for Arsenal. The game kicks off Sunday, Oct. 21 at 9 a.m. on Field 1 at CSU San Bernardino.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Warn The Duke - "Harry O"Donnell"
Artist Bio:
Warn The Duke emerged in 2014 from one of the worst New York City winters on record. Like many of the artistic products to come out of the northeast, the songwriting is a product of a mind shut-in from the world during the darkest months of the year. Mirroring the weather, Warn The Duke's brand of throat-y nihilistic garage-punk is bleak, desperate and harsh on the outside, with a hopefully underbelly of overcoming, warmth, and self-generated energy and movement that will throw your fist up in defiance.
The lineup consists of New England punk rock veterans who somehow transplanted themselves into the big apple: former River City Rebels lead vocalist Dan McCool on vocals and guitar, and Derek Davis of Big D and The Kids Table/Toasters on drums. Filling out the rhythm section is indie rock bassist Sara Press (Shorebirds) and cranking out explosive lead guitar solos is Brooklyn composer George Miata.
Having played several NYC shows and festivals (Northside, Gigawatts) over the last year and a half, WTD are set to release their debut LP "Ghost Be Gone" Oct 16 (recorded, mixed and mastered by Jay Maas of Defeater) before heading to Boston to open Big D and The Kids Table's annual halloween show at Brighton Music Hall. Leading to the release, people are taking notice. In July, WTD was the Deli Magazine "NYC Artist of the Month." Punkanormal Activity calls the debut record "a masterful product...relentless and original." The Ruckus says that WTD "take cues from bands like The Replacements and Kid Dynamite to create a melodic, riff-heavy, sound, that has always seems destined to produce anthems. 'Coastline' [the album's opening track] is the kind of track that just oozes positivity and, with a healthy dose of whiskey soaked vocals to scream along with, Warn The Duke are off to a good start with this one." And Gigawatts Magazine says: "Warn the Duke's sound is similar to that of early Social Distortion, Rancid, Bad Religion...what bands like Chumped and Jeff Rosenstock are doing for Pop Punk/Emo right now, Warn the Duke is doing for that late 80s/90s alt/punk sound."
With some solid press, a debut album that has something to prove to even the most jaded punk rock fan, and a ferocious, loud-as-fuck live show, Warn The Duke is set to take center stage in what is increasingly looking like a punk rock revival of the 2010s.
About The Video: The video for Harry O'Donnell tells the tale of a washed-up, nostalgic dad-rocker who can't seem to get out of his own head and enjoy the fruits of family life. Think Married With Children for the 21st century. The video was filmed in one day (Mother's Day 2015) on a shoestring budget with nothing more than a mysterious bag of wigs found in the basement, a few props lying around the apartment, a whole bunch of beer, and some lighter fluid for the grill.

Area officials are warning guardians of children to be careful when using corporal punishment as a form of discipline because sometimes it can cross the line to a point where authorities get involved.
Area officials are warning guardians of children to be careful when using corporal punishment as a form of discipline because sometimes it can cross the line to a point where authorities get involved.
Heidi Baur, director of Onslow County Department of Social Services, said DSS gets involved in matters of physical discipline of a child under two circumstances: when the discipline leaves a mark or a bruise on a child, and when age plays a factor.
If a person uses corporal punishment to discipline an infant or a child younger than school-age, Baur said DSS intervenes.
�We certainly don�t ever recommend corporal punishment, but it�s not illegal,� she said.
She also said hitting a baby serves no purpose because of its age.
Last month, a Richlands man was charged with misdemeanor charges after allegedly spanking a boy until he bruised him. The man was accused of �excessive spanking� a 5-year-old boy on the buttocks, breaking veins and causing bruises, according to warrants.
Baur said DSS will sometimes intervene in cases with unusual punishment as well. She said they have seen parents who made their children kneel on raw rice, hold heavy objects over their head until they literally could no longer withstand the weight and run until they dropped.
She said in some of these instances, it�s not illegal punishment, but considered inappropriate; and DSS will become involved to help parents take education classes or help the families with other services.
Baur said the DSS will learn about a potential problem, investigate a family, determine if DSS�s services are needed and then provide parents with education or the proper help they need. She said they then will monitor parents.
If DSS determines a child is in imminent danger of serious injury, the department will remove the child from the home. However, she said they try very hard not to remove children from their homes if other services can be rendered.
Baur said when DSS removes a child from his or her parents, it is a legal action rendered by a petition, which is always signed by a judge or magistrate. Children can be removed to foster care with family, friends or, as a last resort, strangers.
Though Baur does not recommend corporal punishment as a form of discipline, she offers advice for those people who do wish to use it.
She says people should always use it as a last resort and never when they are angry; she also cautions to never use an object, for it is much more likely to leave a mark or a bruise on a child than a hand is.
Baur also suggests to any parent struggling with problems of frustration, exhaustion or the challenges of parenting alone to seek out local resources such as PEERS, a family development center on Chaney Avenue. Baur said PEERS offers free parenting education classes, information, and even free drop-in child care for a parent who needs a break every once in a while.
�When you�re on your last nerve, it�s time to step back and ask for help,� Baur said.
To report abuse or call for help, contact:
- Onslow County Department of Social Services 910-455-4145 1915 Onslow Dr. in Jacksonville
- PEERS Family Development Center 910-333-9725 151 Chaney Ave. in Jacksonville.

I just wanted to report that the code compiles fine on OSX and linux
using gcc.
I also made a little makefile that will compile all the example programs in one go. To use it (assuming you are on a *nix with g++ in your path),
set things up so that that the include, source, and mains directories
of the example code are subdirectories of the directory containing the makefile and type make.
On OSX if you download apples XCode (free but large) you get the C/C++ compilers.
