Have you tried to press CTRL+ALT+TAB on Vista?
The Task Switcher appears but does not disappear when I release the buttons. It can be used as an application list and now I can easily use the mouse to hover over the icons, read the titles, select an application. It's very convenient.
I think this feature is much more useful than the over-advertised Vista Expose (WIN+TAB) feature. Have you asked yourself how often do you use that visual effect?

Purchasing a WMS is a business investment that PathGuide customers take very seriously. Any warehouse upgrade involves a number of necessary changes to work processes, and a WMS is no exception. Customers can sometimes become intimidated if they get too caught up worrying about the implementation and assuming that these changes will be difficult.
But that's simply not the case. With the proper training and staff buy-in, a WMS install doesn't need to be an arduous process. To address some of the most common concerns, here is a list of popular questions from new WMS customers, and how we answer them:
- How long is this going to take? It can take anywhere from four to nine months, depending on the warehouse's specifics and how well the company has prepared for a rollout. An internal champion who works closely with us for troubleshooting and scheduled employee training can help a new customer go live much more quickly.
- How will Latitude interface with our business system? Will we have to change anything? Probably not. Latitude integrates with all major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, and Infor.
- How do we set up a RF network in our warehouse? How many access points will we need? What about better servers or higher network speeds? A PathGuide engineer will visit a new customer's warehouse and do a complete walkthrough to determine exactly how the customer operates and what its needs are. They will handle technical problems like this.
- How does training take place? We usually bring customer representatives to our Seattle office and let them practice with Latitude in our mock "warehouse" training room. We'll also send PathGuide engineers to conduct on-site trainings, and we encourage customers to follow up with their own hands-on training.
- Can we get Latitude to do _______? The answer is almost always yes. Latitude is highly customizable and we can usually modify it to fit the customer's exact needs.
- Can we get documentation or checklists for all of this? Of course! We want to make the tools in Latitude WMS as easy to use and accessible as possible.
Implementation can seem intimidating if you look at it in its entirety, but it isn't as difficult as most people believe at first. That's why it's our job to break the process down into manageable chunks and help our customers get through the implementation one step at a time. This personal touch helps our customers feels more secure and leads to a smoother rollout – and that's better for everyone.

May you and your family be merry on this blessed day & season. MERRY CHRISTmas!!
Our Christmas photos were taken early this year with an impromptu trip to the park since our scheduled shoot didn't work out. I was happy with the photos but a bit disappointed with the photo cards. I put it off for far too long then life happened and the Christmas cards almost got nixed. Dad encouraged me to get them done in the eleventh hour. I opted for a simple, less customized, inexpensive option – Costco 1hr photo. I paid $15 or 50 6x7.5 prints with sturdy silver-lined envelopes.
The cards above are some of the outtakes from Shutterfly, before Dad made his way to the hospital. The card below is a slightly modified version of my family's Costco photo card.

title change
the both of you that read this might notice that the title of my blog has changed. i have at least one reason for this. i think what it came down to is that i just didn't like how the old one sounded. too long to say and whatnot. i like how this new one sounds a lot better. for one, i want to be above average. not in any kind of arrogant way, just that the rest of the world seems so content in being just like everyone else. it's part of our nature, to accept what we know and therefore be like those we wish to be accepted by. but if i really want to be like jesus, then that means not necessarily being accepted by everyone. he was way above average, and a lot of people hated him. kinda goes hand in hand i suppose. not that i'm looking to get crucified or anything. i mean i hope that i'd have that kind of courage if it came down to it, i'm just saying.
but why the question in the parantheses? cause overcoming being just average takes effort that i'm constantly guilty of not putting forth. maybe sometime, God willing, i'll be able to look at that question mark and think its unnecessary. other times, i'll have to look at that question mark and ask myself that very question. so i suppose the new title is more of a challenge to me than anything else. can i be more than mediocre? can i live an above average life? can i overcome the "social norm" of just fitting in and towing the line? i need to ask myself this stuff every day.
song for the moment: "everything in its right place" by radiohead. how awesome is my wife that she puts on kid a to relax?

Boggs' .338 batting average is the second-best batting average for the Red Sox in team history.
The Boston Red Sox will retire Wade Boggs' No. 26 jersey in May, the team announced on Monday.
Boggs, 57, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2005, which was his first year on the ballot, and received 91.9 percent of the vote. The third baseman's number is the 10th retired by the Red Sox, who have also retired Bobby Doerr's No. 1, Joe Cronin's No. 4, Johnny Pesky's No. 6, Carl Yastrzemski's No. 8, Ted Williams' No. 9, Jim Rice's No. 14, Carlton Fisk's No. 27, Pedro Martinez's No. 45, and Jackie Robinson's No. 42.
"Wade Boggs was the best third baseman in Red Sox history and one of the best hitters of his generation," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a press release. "Whether it was his legendary hand-eye coordination or the discipline of his highly superstitious routine, his ability to hit line drive after line drive was remarkable. We congratulate our first ballot Hall of Famer on this recognition."
• JAFFE: Billy Wagner has compelling HOF case
Boggs' .338 batting average during his 11 years in Boston is the second-best for the Red Sox in team history. He holds the franchise record for most games played at third base in franchise history. Boggs won five American League batting titles and recorded seven seasons with 200 hits or more.
In his 18 major league seasons, he collected 2,098 of his career 3,010 hits with Boston.
"I am so humbled and honored to be among the greatest legends to ever put on a uniform for the amazing city of Boston," Boggs said in the statement. "To say that your number will never be worn again is the highest honor an athlete can receive. Thank you."
The Red Sox previously only retired numbers for players that spent at least 10 years with the Red Sox and finished his career in Boston. Boggs went on to play for the Yankees and Devil Rays before retiring in 1999.
Since Boggs left the Red Sox, 13 players have worn No. 26. Brock Holt has worn the number for the Red Sox since 2013.

The other day, I ate two fast food pies.
It upset my stomach, which I pretty much knew would happen. Fast food is usually fakish food. A lot of gobbledygook is added to real ingredients. Fast food tastes so great, and it's so convenient, the dismal lack of nutrition is easily drowned out by the temptation.
Even still, I don't usually eat fast food. But I was in a tight spot and I was hungry. And I was just planning on getting chicken and fries, but when I saw the pies on the menu, and for so cheap . . well. I ordered the pies. And I ate the pies.
I pretty much knew those pies would upset my stomach, but of course in my Wistful Thinking World I had decided they wouldn't upset my stomach. I know I have food allergies and can't eat fast food, and especially not fast food dessert. So why did I do something dumb like that?
My teenager years and college life revolved around fast food. Those pies brought back feelings of comfort, familiarity, splurging, and being young again.
But the very same pies were like garbage in my stomach. And eating them wasn't worth it, no matter how sweet they tasted in the moment.
Those pies remind me a lot of what it's like for a Christian to go back to sin.
When I gave my life to God, God nailed my sin nature to the cross. It was on display, for all to see, that Christ had died to this sin nature, my sin nature. If anyone comes to Jesus for forgiveness, God posts their old nature for the world, the angels, Satan, the demons–everyone–to see is dead as dead can be: The sin nature of _________ is no more.
That does not mean Satan gives up. Instead, he starts trying harder. He is more motivated than ever to tempt us to sin, because we have aligned ourselves with his arch enemy, Jesus Christ. (I say "arch enemy" which is true, but they certainly aren't peers. Jesus created all the angels, including Lucifer (who would become known as Satan), who destroyed himself with sin.)
Satan wants Christians to sin really bad. But Satan can't force-feed anybody sin. It has to be our choice. So what does he do? He comforts us with sin. It's just like old times. In other words, it's just like Hell times.
It's comforting to keep that grudge, he teaches us. It's familiar to have that jealousy. You can splurge every once in a while and lose your temper–you deserve it. It was more fun to be depressed all the time. And so on.
Even with all I know about how bad food affects my health, I still like it on the same skin-deep level that I like to watch commercials or be first in line at the grocery store. It's an impulse towards what's easiest–don't think, don't discern, don't care about what happens. It's the 4-year-old in me that wants what I want with blind thinking and it doesn't matter what happens afterwards.
Because of Jesus Christ, the sin nature in me is dead. It can't control me anymore. But I can choose to sin as if I still had the same nature. It's the old impulse: easy, unthinking, unwise, me-centered, me-idolized.
But I can't get away with it for long. Like a butterfly trying to go back and eat leaves like the caterpillar did, I can't survive on meals of sin. It will, slowly or quickly, destroy my life and deteriorate my soul.
The very next day after eating those bad pies, would you believe that I bought more? I had forgotten how sweet they tasted in the four or so years since I'd had one. And I wanted more.
I wanted to eat them, all right, but I left them in the bag. I remembered why I didn't want to eat them. I left them in the bag until they were cold, and I saw what they really were.
I threw them away.
I can still go back and buy more, anytime I want. There's fast food stops open 24/7.
I could also go through my garbage can and eat left-overs out of it anytime I want. But I don't want to.
I want to good food.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. (Romans 7:18, NIV)
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21, NIV)
The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.
Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) (Romans 8:3-9, NLT)

Misuse of stimulants and a variety of other prescription medications is quite common among college students in the US, suggests new research.
In a survey conducted in eight US campuses, the researcher found that one in four undergraduates reported they used prescription pain-killer medications for non-medical reasons.
"Overall, one in four undergraduates reported they used prescription pain medications, sedatives or stimulants for non-medical reasons in their lifetimes," said author Anne McDaniel, associate director of research and data management at the Ohio State University's Centre for the Study of Student Life.
Seven out of 10 students said it is somewhat or very easy to obtain controlled stimulants without a prescription.
About 18 percent of undergraduates reported misusing prescription stimulants such as Adderall, the 2015 College Prescription Drug Study (CPDS) found.
The great majority (83 percent) received them from friends and most said they used the drug to help them study or improve their grades.
Conducted in spring 2015, the anonymous survey included 3,918 students attending six public and two private colleges and universities in five states.
The survey included undergraduate, as well as graduate and professional students. The results for both groups were similar, although undergraduates were more likely to be misusing prescription drugs.
After stimulants, pain medications were the most misused prescription medications, used by 10 percent of undergraduates.
"College is a time when many young people may start misusing prescription drugs," McDaniel said in a statement recently released by Ohio State University.
"It is a good time for intervention," McDaniel said.

Today Steve and I went to our 30 week growth ultrasound at Mercy. Steve wanted to practice driving to Mercy and Labor and Delivery just so we were comfortable knowing where everything is incase something happens. My appointment was early this time so we didn't have to wait around the long before being seen.
Baby A: heart beat 136, weight estimated at 4 lbs, breach – 73rd percentile
Baby B: heart beat 143, weight estimated at 4 lbs 7 ounces, traverse – 59th percentile
I caught a glimpse of the monitor when she was measuring and it said Baby A was coming in at 32w6d and baby B was 29w0d. I was slightly worried that baby A was so much bigger than B and the ultrasound tech talked to a doctor and no one seemed to be that concerned.
Their little heads were touching each other. Yay, another pregnancy of freaking out as to whether or not they'll turn heads down.

Reporting from Bedford, N.H. — Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday reaffirmed his view that global warming is an unproven scientific theory that has been advanced, at least in part, by scientists who have "manipulated data," and he argued that programs intended to limit climate change are costing the nation "billions if not trillions" of dollars that he believes could be better spent elsewhere.
"We are seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change," Perry told an audience of several hundred voters, business leaders and local officials who gathered for a breakfast in Bedford. "Yes, our climate's changed — they've been changing ever since the Earth was formed."
Without citing his sources, Perry added that the cost of implementing what he called "anti-carbon programs" is billions of dollars: "I don't think, from my perspective, that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on what is still a scientific theory that hasn't been proven, and from my perspective is more and more being put into question."
Perry expressed his skepticism about global warming during his debut at the Politics & Eggs series, a virtually mandatory event for presidential candidates in the state that holds the first primary each election cycle.

The U.S. National Security Agency has made dozens of changes in its operations and computer networks to prevent the emergence of another Edward Snowden, including potential disciplinary action, a top NSA official said on Friday, as a White House review panel recommended restraints on NSA spying.
Former NSA contractor Snowden's disclosures have been "cataclysmic" for the eavesdropping agency, Richard Ledgett, who leads a task force responding to the leaks, said in a rare interview at NSA's heavily guarded Fort Meade headquarters.
In the more than hour-long interview, Ledgett acknowledged the agency had done a poor job in its initial public response to revelations of vast NSA monitoring of phone and Internet data; pledged more transparency; and said he was deeply worried about highly classified documents not yet public that are among the 1.7 million Snowden is believed to have accessed.
He also stoutly defended the NSA's mission of tracking terrorist plots and other threats, and said its recruiting of young codebreakers, linguists and computer geeks has not been affected by the Snowden affair - even as internal morale has been.
"Any time you trust people, there is always a chance that someone will betray you," he said.
(Read more: World of spycraft: NSA infiltrates gamers' data)
The NSA is taking 41 specific technical measures to control data by tagging and tracking it, to supervise agency networks with controls on activity, and to increase oversight of individuals.
Measures include requiring two-person control of every place where someone could access data and enhancing the security process that people go through and requiring more frequent screenings of systems administrative access, Ledgett said.
After months of sometimes blistering criticism in the news media and by Congress and foreign governments, the publicity-averse NSA is now mounting an effort to tell its side of the Snowden story.
It granted access to NSA headquarters to a team from CBS' "60 Minutes" program, which is scheduled to broadcast a segment on the agency on Sunday.
Ledgett, a 36-year intelligence veteran who reportedly is in line to be the agency's deputy director, joked that doing media interviews was "a complete out-of-body experience for me."
He spoke to Reuters on the same day that the White House said it had decided to maintain the practice of having a single individual head both the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, which conducts cyberwarfare - an outcome the NSA leadership favored.
Separately, news reports late Thursday said an outside review panel appointed by the White House has recommended changes in a program disclosed by Snowden that collects basic data on Americans' phone calls - known as metadata.

The panel reportedly said the data should be held by an organization other than the NSA and stricter rules should be enforced for searching the databanks.
Ledgett declined to discuss the panel's specific recommendations. But he seemed to acknowledge that tighter guidelines for NSA eavesdropping were in the offing, saying that what is technologically possible "has gotten ahead of policy."

We left my cousin's house in Rutland after a lazy breakfast toward Brattleboro, our destination. We heard GMRC 263 and locomotive 801 that sounded like different trains. We weren't sure until we found 263 with 801 leading fairly far east in Chester, where we waited for them on finding rusty rails. A large cloud bank was rolling in rather suspensefully on this first day of sunlight on our trip. The train took a while to arrive in Chester - we overestimated how far ahead of it we were - and when it did come, it stopped just short of the shot I wanted for the crew to buy lunch in town. After a few minutes delay and some mercy from the clouds, we got our shot and then b-lined it to Brattleboro for our own lunch and seasonal family reunion.
Rutland, Vermont
(map) Called Vermont's rail hub by the Vermont Rail System, this city on the New York border is not a fantastic railfanning spot, though not for a lack of good trains. The main drag through town offers few good locations and the yard, found at the East end of a stretch of track common to 4 VRS lines is not very accessible. Outside of the city there are many nice locations but with only a couple of trains per day, understanding the cryptic clearances is critical. Rutland is not really near anything in Vermont, but is along the Western boarder of the state about an hour North of Massachusetts.
Chester, Vermont
Chester is on the Green Mountain Railway line between Rutland and Bellows Falls.

The states that are really smart are those that are working with their existing businesses. If you can create an environment that's attractive for them to grow within your state, you're way ahead of the game. —Ron Pollina, president of Chicago-based Pollina Corporate Real Estate Inc.
SALT LAKE CITY — When it comes to creating an environment for business to prosper, Utah "gets it," a keynote speaker at the Governor's Utah Economic Summit said Tuesday.
Ron Pollina — president of Chicago-based Pollina Corporate Real Estate Inc. — said the Beehive state ranked second only to Virginia for its business friendly environment in the company's annual Top 10 Pro-Business States study for 2011. Utah received the highest possible grade for the fifth year in a row.
"A pro-business environment is essential of companies that are going to grow in the state of Utah and be attracted to Utah," Pollina said. Utah is leading because of its policies that seek to not only bring in new businesses, but also help them expand thereby creating more jobs and increased tax revenue, he added.
"Every state should be doing this because we're not getting the support from the federal government," he said. "The federal government keeps making it more difficult for companies to survive."
Pollina — a geo-economist as well as an expert in corporate location analysis, real estate transactions, and state and local financial incentive negotiations — noted that the United States now taxes companies at a higher rate than any other country in the world and regulates them extensively as well. He said the federal government should work harder at developing policies that promote business expansion rather then creating an environment that stifles economic growth.
The percentage of middle-class Americans is decreasing, while China and India's middle classes are growing rapidly, he said.
"We are losing high-paying engineering, medical, business, technology and manufacturing jobs to our free-trade partners and gaining low-pay service jobs," Pollina said. "We have a dangerously high and continually rising national budget deficit and trade deficit."
The cost of living is growing at approximately 3.2 percent per year and incomes are stagnant at best, he told the audience in the grand ballroom of the Grand America Hotel.
The credit card has replaced the savings account for unexpected or emergency needs, while the typical American family has virtually no savings, he said.
The nationwide average household credit card debt is over $15,956, he said. After paying for food, housing and taxes, the typical American family pays 20 percent of what is left for credit card debt, Pollina said.
As for Utah, Pollina said other states could learn a lot from how its policies are crafted and the long-term positive impact they have on the local economy.
Pollina said where federal assistance could be most beneficial is through the easing of regulations and tax credits for companies investing in technology. Additionally, there should be federal and state investment in employee training as well as tax credits for companies that hire U.S.-based engineers and scientists.
Instituting tort reform, providing financial aid to students pursuing engineering, math, and science degrees who remain in the U.S. after graduation, and more money for training and paying kindergarten through 12th grade teachers to improve the nation's public education system are also imperative changes that need to be made, he said.
While the national economic outlook still has some weakness, Pollina said Utah's future looks strong.
"The states that are really smart are those that are working with their existing businesses," he said. "If you can create an environment that's attractive for them to grow within your state, you're way ahead of the game."
The host speaker echoed those sentiments, saying that businesses will succeed "if they have an opportunity to have the opportunity."
Gov. Gary Herbert said government often clogs the pathway to success with over-burdensome regulation and oppressive taxation. He said Utah would continue its efforts to grow economically by instituting fair, competitive taxation and the elimination of "nonsensical business regulation."
"We are creating a microcosm of opportunity here in Utah," Herbert said. "Consequently our businesses are growing and prospering. We're building an environment for economic success second to none in America."

An "H" Season Suggestion...
My buddy just bought his apartment when it turned condo then ripped out the carpets, had tile, marble and hardwood floor installed and totally redecorated the place with all new furniture. Whew.
His new 5 foot hang-on-the-wall plasma TV just arrived so now he is ready for me to bring over my digital camera and document everything for insurance purposes. Well, duh. I had not done that for my own house so I did. All day yesterday.
I even took a picture of the digital camera. Used a mirror, set it on a tiny tripod and pressed the timer. Of course, it shows I was using a "nonaC" camera.
To be complete, I charged up the batteries and dusted off my digital video camcorder and taped a walk through the house, each room, from front to back, zooming in for details on important items. I went outside and opened the doors of the shed that houses the riding mower and gas generator. I remembered to include the claw foot tub that is stored downstairs after a bath remodeling project. Those guys worked hard!
I'll store MY disc at his house and HIS will be kept here. Sure beats writing it all down.
I'll have to explain there is only ONE orange striped cat regardless of how many times he shows up in the photographic record. Wonder if Wally Jr. is covered with Total Cat Replacement?
Labels: carpet, claw foot tub, condo, digital camera, generator, hardwood floors, insurance photos, marble and tile, orange striped cat, TCR Total Cat Reolacement, videocam, Wally Jr.

I'm used to getting what I want. I've always taken what I wanted. No apologies. No excuses.
I know what it feels like to be betrayed, when someone else is calling all the shots. I've been down that road, and I'm not going there again. I've got my family, my friends, and the brotherhood. That's all I need.
I believe in Fate. Everything happens for a reason. But what do you do when Fate kicks you in the gut, plays a cruel joke on you?
When I met Quincy Priest, she was a flame I couldn't put out. A freakin' wildfire. She blew in to my life, burned it to the ground, then left me standing in the ashes. Gone as suddenly as she came. I'm not sure if I should love her or hate her… But I don't hate her. I could never hate her.
What do you do when the person who broke you may be the only person who can put you back together?
Can you run from Fate?
Do you even want to?

In the dark, I quickly shed my pants and pull my shirt over my head. It's not until I'm standing by the bed, with the moon shining through the window, that I see the outline of a slumbering angel. I can just make out the curve of her neck and the shape of her lips. It's Quincy, and even sleeping, she is ridiculously sexy.
"Aw, hell," I say out loud, the perfect ending to this shit day. The girl I want but can't touch is in my bed. I just don't have the heart, or the sense, to wake her and tell her she's in the wrong room. Instead, I pull back the blanket and crawl in behind her.
With my back to her, I lie awake for a long time. Quincy sighs in her sleep, her breathing even and soft as it whispers across her pillow. Every time she moves, my body hums with awareness. It fuels the wood I've been sporting all night. With no end in sight.
Fortunately, the alcohol in my system muddles my thoughts and makes it difficult to keep my eyes open. I imagine rolling over and planting myself firmly between her thighs, running my hands up her body. But the last vision I see before drifting off to sleep is her eyes, those big, brown eyes, watching me through the flames and wet with tears. What is she running from?
Quincy's body is pressed against my back, and I can feel her breath on my neck. Arms encircle me from behind, and small hands with pink nails begin exploring my body. Across my chest, down my stomach, to the waistband of my boxer briefs. When her lips graze the back of my neck, my eyes fly open. I'm not dreaming. Little Miss Perfect is molesting me in my sleep.
"Quince, please. There is only so much I can take before I do something we'll both regret." Her hand stills at my waist, but she doesn't pull away like I expect her to. Instead, she keeps her arms wrapped around me, pulling me tighter.
I began the night with the intention to get her in my bed, but not like this. She's been drinking, and I know something upset her earlier. When I take her, I want all of her. And I want her sober.
I roll over to face her, our bodies aligned and our lips only a breath away. "I want you, Quince. But I don't think you're ready for this." Her breathing quickens, and I feel her body shivering against me. When her tongue darts out, running across her bottom lip as she closes her eyes, it breaks me. "Open your eyes, Quince. I want you to see who you're kissing. I want you to know it's me, and I want you to see me every time you close your eyes." Slowly, so slowly, she opens them… and I see it written there. She wants me. She wants this too.
"Are you sure about this? Because I might lose all control if I kiss you," I whisper in her ear, breathing her in. I hold back as I savor the moment. She doesn't answer. She doesn't need to. Her body is doing the talking for her. She leans into me, her lips slightly parted, waiting for me to make the next move. She's giving me the control, letting me know that she trusts me. Only I know I'm not trustworthy.
Rolling over on top of her, I press my body into hers. She may be small, but we fit together as if she were made just for me. Lying between her legs, I look into her eyes as my lips graze hers. She takes a deep breath, holding it, as if she's gaining courage right before she jumps over the ledge.
My lips crash into hers, taking control of my mind and body. When her lips part, my tongue explores her mouth. She tastes sweet and smells like heaven. I feel the exact moment her resolve disappears, when she lets her walls down. She relaxes against me, and her tongue meets mine, igniting a fire inside of me that I'm not sure I would put out if I could.
My hands find their way to her thighs, pushing her t-shirt above her waist. I wrap my hand around her thigh and lift it up to her chest. Rolling my hips into her, I realize there are only two pieces of thin cloth separating us. A low moan in her throat vibrates across my lips as I kiss down her neck, driving me as crazy as it does her. Her hand traces soft patterns over my shoulder and down my back. My body begs for release.
When her hips drive into me, I allow my fingers to travel up her thigh to her hip, blazing a trail wherever they touch. I pull back from her, just enough to press my hand to her, between our tangled bodies. She arches her back, and her hips rise off the bed. My god, she's beautiful like this, eyes closed, riding my hand.
I don't realize how close she is until she clenches her thighs and bucks against me. As she continues to move against my hand, I know this is what I needed. It is the only thing that's going to stop the ache inside me.
I'm looking down, into her face, when she opens her eyes. Her face is flushed, her lips swollen, and she's so fuckin' exquisite that she takes my breath away. I want to dive back into her, but she pulls back and turns her head, looking away.
"No, Quince. Look at me." When she raises her eyes to me, even in the dark, I can see her insecurities hiding. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, Quince. That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen." I linger, staring into her eyes so she will see that I mean it. When I roll off of her, I pull her into my side. It just feels so right to lay with her like this. But deep down inside, I know I've crossed the line. No going back.

Sugar: It's Choice Restriction Week!
Campaigns to impose regulations and taxes on sugary food and drink are bad for consumer freedom.
Action on Sugar, the campaign to restrict our intake of the sweet stuff, has declared this week as the first Sugar Awareness Week. Now, you may reasonably feel that you are fully aware of the existence of that white crystalline stuff that makes everything from fizzy drinks to cakes taste good, but apparently we've all been wallowing in ignorance.
According to AoS, and its media-friendly chum Jamie Oliver, sugar is basically poison. If we consume it in small amounts, we'll probably be fine, but if we consume a lot of it, it will make us fat, give us diabetes and send our children to an early grave. (Never mind that Jamie's recipes are often full of the stuff.) Moreover, the fact that there is so much sugar in our food is because the food industry cares so much about profit and so little about our health that it is quite reckless about feeding us death-inducing crap. Which, as a business model, is a little odd. Most industries don't set out to kill their own customer base.
The conclusion that Jamie, AoS and their friends in public health have leapt to is that we must have a clampdown on sugar. Sugary drinks must be taxed - with 20 per cent just the starting point. Government must put pressure on food companies to 'reformulate' their products so they contain less sugar. Jamie would go further and slap fines on any company that refused to do so and put a visual label of how many teaspoons of sugar a product contains on the pack.
As we've noted here before, sugar taxes suck. They're illiberal and regressive, hurting the least well-off more than the wealthy. While making something more expensive is likely to have some effect on the amount consumed, there is also precious little evidence that this small change in consumption would make any difference to health outcomes. We won't be much, if any, thinner and we won't live any longer.
If we want to slim down, we need to eat and drink less or become more active. It may be that for a minority of people, carbohydrate-rich foods like sugar encourage weight gain more than other foods. But if that is true, the campaign should really be called Action on Sugar, Bread, Pasta, Rice, Potatoes and Starchy Stuff in General. Not so catchy, huh?
And while Action on Sugar's parent organisation, Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) has trumpeted reductions in salt levels in foods in recent years, reducing sugar content is not as easy. Sugar not only adds sweetness but bulk and texture to products. Just imagine trying to make a cake with artificial sweetener. It would be very different indeed. If AoS succeeded, it would be by forcing companies to make our foods significantly less pleasant than before.
So what would be the alternative? The answer is choice. We need to be able to choose from a wide variety of foods that enable us to balance personal preferences against our assessment of the risk of eating a particular food. Fortunately, we have that already. For most sugary drinks, there's a low-sugar or sugar free version. If you love sugar, you can breakfast on Frosties cereal, but if you are not so keen, regular Cornflakes contain far less. There are many, many more examples.
The proposals by Action on Sugar and others are designed to take away choice. With their view of food manufacturers as cackling evil doers who love to see children die, and their view of consumers as little better than children who need 'experts' to look after them, campaigners believe the only way to solve the problems of obesity and chronic disease is to take away our freedom to choose. What is so astonishing is that these wannabe dictators are widely portrayed as the 'good guys'. They are anything but.
Update, Monday 30 November: In a move that will surprise precisely no one, the Commons Health Committee will publish a report today calling for… a 20% sugary drinks tax, further restrictions on food advertising and marketing, and further pressure to be applied to industry to reduce sugar content - regardless of what consumers want.Sugar: It's Choice Restriction Week!, Action on Consumer Choice

Cooking in the bush can be a real treat for anyone, especially if you have lived in the city all your life. You do not need to be a great cook because it virtually cooks itself. It is completely different to cooking in your kitchen at home. The heat in that oven has a regulated heat. When using a camp oven you have to do a bit of hit and miss as to getting the correct heat.
The fire
There are many ways of setting up a fire. You can dig a hollow in the ground then light your fire. If the ground is too hard then scrounge about for some rocks and make a circle and light the fire in the middle. If your are really battling for stones or bricks at least build up a bit of a wind break on one side and put fire against that.
Never light a fire in the bush on a windy day. It will only take one spark to start a bush fire. Always, always put the fire right out before leaving. Never leave it without covering hot ashes with sand.
Cooking with a camp oven needs hot coals. So get a good fire going then when the wood has burnt down that is the time to put the camp oven into the coals.
· You need the type of wood that does not burn down to ash, as you need coals. Jarrah or Jam tree are good types of timber to use. Although, when you are in the bush you have to take what you can get. Many places you stay may not have any wood at all so be prepared and take a little with you.
· Prepare food and have it ready for when the fire is hot enough. If making scones or damper, it is best to get the mixture ready but do not add the water until the fire is actually ready. As they need to go straight into the oven once it is mixed. Also heat the camp oven first.
· Place a small flat stone inside camp oven under the tray which you wish to cook cakes or scones on. This will prevent them from burning.
Here are a few typical bush recipes for you to try. Although anything that you can cook in an oven at home you can cook in a camp oven. I have made bread and butter puddings, cakes, scones, stews and roasts. And guess what! They taste much better too. Especially while sipping on some Billy tea or a coldy. (beer)
Kangaroo Tail Stew
1 kangaroo tail
3-4 potatoes
2 onions
1 carrot
Salt and Pepper
Remove skin and joint the tail. Slice onions and lightly brown meat and onions in base of camp oven. Cut up the Carrot and potatoes in pieces. Place in pot with 1- 1-l/2 cups of water and add Pepper and Salt and seasonings of your choice. Cook until tender thicken with a little flour or gravox mixed in water before adding to pot before serving.
Tip: You can make a good stew with mutton, chicken, or steak or meat of your choice. Then vary the flavors with different seasoning and a variety of vegetables in season at the time.
Stockman's Meal
Cook a couple of chops in camp oven, drain off the fat. Add sliced spuds and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and flour, then cover with water and boil until water boils down and veggies are cooked.

Damper (similar to bread)
1 cup SR flour
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup of water
(I use a normal scone recipe and for larger loaf double the mix)
(I use a normal scone recipe and for larger loaf double the mix)
Place flour in a bowl add pinch of salt and mix (I like to add a good teaspoonful of butter) gradually add the water and mix. Grease the base of camp oven and place in to cook when oven hot. This will normally take about twenty to thirty minutes.
If your first one is not successful do not give up just keep an eye on it as the heat and type of wood used will vary the cooking times. Let's face it- I bet the first cake you cooked wasn't great either in a normal oven.
Cooking recipes with a camp oven in the bush can be a very different way and a new experience for the city person or anyone for that matter to try.

Foie Gras and wine. Sometimes life is difficult as a volunteer...
It is a wine vendor owned by Patrick Courtois, a local entrepreneur. He hosted a wine tasting event and we were able to taste a selection of particularly good wines.
Filet de Rouget et tomate confite sur blinis
We also had professionally prepared appetizers matched with each wine. The list included Foie Gras et confiture d'oignon, filet de rouget et tomate confit sur blinis, and filet de caille aux saveurs d'automne. After that we had a cheese plate followed by tiramisu aux fruits rouge for dessert. Not a bad way to end a monday.

In adverse situations,
even though you are surrounded by needles and medicines that will help you through the trials,
you are unaware of them.
In favourable circumstances,
all around you are swords and halberds which will whittle away your flesh and bones,
you do not know about them.
Those who grow up in a setting of riches and splendour are driven by greed like a raging fire.
Their power and influence blaze furiously everywhere.
If they cannot cultivate feelings that are a little cooler,
they might not burn others, but surely they will end up incinerating themselves.

After struggling with a dual-threat QB last week, Iowa and Kirk Ferentz prep for Denard Robinson
Kirk Ferentz was stumped Tuesday when asked whether there are any shortcuts to defending Michigan junior quarterback Denard Robinson.
In fact, if anyone out there knows of any, Iowa's 13-year coach says he's all ears.
"(There are) none that I know of," Ferentz said on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. "If you have any knowledge of that, please send it in to us."
Facing a dual-threat quarterback last week, Iowa didn't exactly sparkle.
Minnesota's MarQueis Gray ran for 62 yards and a touchdown and went 11-of-17 for 193 yards and a touchdown as the Golden Gophers stunned Iowa and scored their first Big Ten win of the season.
AP Photo
Robinson has faced Iowa in each of his previous two college seasons. Michigan lost both of those games, and though Robinson wasn't exactly bottled up, he wasn't dominant either.
Against Iowa for his career, Robinson has rushed for 154 yards and a score, and gone 16-of-22 through the air for 126 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
Facing Robinson this season will be different, Ferentz says. Mainly because he has more weapons around him than he did over the past two years.
"When you play good teams that have real dynamic performers and good players around them, it's tough," said Ferentz, whose team will host Michigan on Saturday (noon, ESPN). "They can hurt you in a lot of different ways."
Robinson also appears healthier this year than he did a year ago against the Hawkeyes. Last season, he was forced to leave the game early due to a shoulder injury. Last week, Robinson was a secondary option offensively. Sophomore running back Fitzgerald Toussaint took center stage with a career-high 170 rushing yards to go along with two scores on 20 carries.
"We've got our hands full," Ferentz said.
Robinson isn't the only concern for Ferentz, though, as he remarked how improved the Wolverines defense looks on film under first-year coordinator Greg Mattison.
"They're playing a system now that is very, very different than what they did the last couple years," he said. "I'm not saying one is wrong or one is right, there's a lot of different ways to get things done.
"But the bottom line is this, it looks like it's pretty clear on the tape that they've got good players that understand what their roles are and they're able to fit those players in those roles and they're doing a good job of coming up with good results."

This year's Iowa team is definitely NOT the Iowa team we've seen the last couple of years. That D Line they had was tremendous. Most of those guys are playing on Sunday now. While it won't be a walk in the park against Iowa this weekend, I think our guys will find holes in the defense. I also think it's a plus we're playing them as an early day game. Playing Iowa at night gives that crowd too much time to get good and lubricated and ramps up the hostile environment. I like our chances over the next 2 weeks.
Tue, Nov 1, 2011 : 9:26 p.m.
It bodes well if IA had trouble with the dual threat MarQueis Gray at MN. This could mean that we can let Denard loose along with Fitz Toussaint as tailback and a short passing attack, gien a windy, dry, warm forecast. The only thing IA has going for themselves is it is a home game but it will not be a night game. The noon kick off time will help the Wolverines. If we can score first and build a double digit lead, that should deflate the Hawkeyes. GO BLUE!!!

Enamel House Pendant Copper Home Necklace Enameled Jewelry - Blue
I designed these house pendants after my surgery when I was thinking a lot about home and family. The comforts of sweet home. This cute little house pendant was cut freehand from copper sheet and enameled by firing lead free vitreous glass on both sides multiple times in my kiln. The result is a blue house (gray on the back). The little house measures 27mm x 20mm and comes strung on a 18 inch silver plated chain. It's really sweet and would make a wonderful housewarming, anniversary or graduation gift.

How to Install and Try Linux the Absolutely Easiest and Safest WayApr 21, 2014, 06:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Carla Schroder)
In this follow up to Replace the Retiring Windows XP with Linux we're going learn the easiest and most foolproof way to install and run Xubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS on your old Windows XP computer. The only requirements are that your old computer has USB ports, and that it supports booting from a USB stick. If your computer is too old for USB, then it's pretty darned old and you really need to think about getting a newer one.
There are but four steps: one, go to OSDisc.com and order Xubuntu Linux on a 32-gigabyte USB stick. Then insert the USB stick into your computer, boot up, and start playing with Linux. It is self-contained and doesn't change anything on your computer. You can create and save files on the USB stick, install and remove Linux software, and it's completely portable so you can plug it in and use it anywhere. If you ever get bored with Xubuntu you can delete it and use your USB stick for something else.

Tips For Preventing Colic
Colic is not a disease but rather a combination of signs to reflect abdominal pain in the horse. Colic is still considered the number one killer of horses in the United States and can range from mild to severe. Colic can become a life-threatening condition in a relatively short time and should never be ignored. Management plays a crucial role in colic prevention. The horse's digestive tract and their anatomy seem to leave them more predisposed to colic than other species. Quickly and accurately recognizing colic signs and seeking qualified professional help will maximize the horse's chances of recovery and reduce the risk of irreparable damage.
- Your routine should be established so that it occurs approximately the same time every day, (this includes feeding and exercise schedules).
- Excessive concentrates in the diet or energy-dense supplements have been linked to increased incidence of colic and therefore should be avoided.
- At least half of the horse's diet should be from forage each day.
- Smaller rations and more frequent feedings are more in line with the way the horse maintains himself in the wild.
- Hay should be fed free choice throughout the day.
- A regular judicious parasite control program should be established.
- Fresh clean water should be available at all times.
- Horses still warm from exercise should not be allowed to drink excessive amounts of cold water.
- Horses should not be fed on the ground but rather in feeders.
- Hay bedding and pasture should be monitored for noxious weeds, foreign material and other toxic substances.
- Pay special attention to stress in your horse's environment. Changes in workload or when transporting make your horse especially vulnerable to colic.
Geographical location and regional differences from environmental factors such as sandy soil and climatic stress relate to the frequency and types of colic. All horses are susceptible to colic, and conscientious management is the best prevention.

The Aero L-39C Albatros is a very popular military aircraft. Manufactured by Aero Vodochody in Czech Republic, this high performance jet was the standard military jet trainer in the East block except Poland, which used the strange looking TS-11 Iskra.
The L-39 Albatros comes with a two cockpit configuration, also for the light ground attack variant L-39ZA with a payload of 1290kg.
The light attack version L-39ZA has been spotted in the Syrian Civil War in 2012 when fighting against rebels over Aleppo. Rebels claim they shot down a number of L-39s. The L-39 was also used by Abkhasian separatists to shoot down Georgian drones in 2008 and for ground attack missions by the Azeri Air Force in the Nagorno Karabakh War.
In total, more than 2800 L-39s have been produced, and the L-39 is still in active service with countless air forces. The Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros is very well-known in the former East block countries, less in the west outside the aviation community. But many have seen the aircraft in movies like James Bond "Tomorrow never dies" and "Lord of War" or with Display teams like the Breitling Jet Team, Patriots Jet Team or the Black Diamond Jet Team, formerly known under the very manly name "Heavy Metal Jet Team".
The Albatros is a popular private Warbird
After the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Eastern block, Air Forces had to fight with rapidly shrinking budgets. It was a very turbulent period with a lack of state control. This led to uncontrolled sales of weapons and other military hardware to new owners, with popular weapon traders like Wiktor But and Karlheinz Schreiber. Among them were countless L-39 sales from Air Forces to Civilians. A successful seller of East Block L-39s was Mr. Peier, a Swiss citizen: "There was a time they sold everything. Especially attractive was doing business in the Ukraine. Give them a freight car full of potatoes and you can choose your L-39 and fly away with it."
Today there are more than 250 civilian registered L-39s in the US alone. The Reno Air Race even has a category only for the L-39. Apart from the large numbers produced, it is mainly the very nice and sporty shape that makes this military aircraft so popular among display teams and civilian owners. Also, due to the fact that so many L-39s are on the market, prices start as low as US$ 150,000. If you are looking for an Albatros in good condition you will probably have to pay much more. We strongly suggest a meticulous pre-buy inspection and professional help from somebody who knows the L-39. A good choice here is the "Godfather of L-39", the German Bernd Rehn from Aerocontact.
Also, consider all the operational cost carefully. One of the reasons L-39 prices are currently so low is that many owners realize that the cost to operate the L-39 is high. Many L-39s change ownership often, with the former owner telling the interested buyer how easy and cheap this aircraft is to operate. If you fly a lot to practice and maintain it well, it is not that cheap.
This is one of the main reasons why many L-39s are held in shared and fractional ownership arrangements. Another increasingly popular way to own is financing the L-39 by offering rides to the public. A company specialized in bringing "Mavericks for a Day" and L-39 operators together is FlyFighterJet.com. The advantage with giving rides is that pilot-owners get to fly more often, they can share this unique experience with a very happy and grateful customer and they do not have to share their military trainer with co-owners. FlyFighterJet.com only cooperates with professional Air Force and Navy pilots, hobby pilots with a lack of experience are not chosen to take passengers for a ride. So this second model is not for everyone.
The L-39 Type rating – differences in the US and Europe
What is needed to get a type rating? Not much actually, at least not in Europe. While the FAA asks for 1000 flight hours, with 500 hours as Pilot-in-Command, European countries like the Czech Republic are not as strict. It is possible to have the L-39 type rating with 10-12 hours, that's not much. Total cost are around €15,000 in Czech Republic ($19,000 US), including theoretical lessons, all exams etc. The training is with an Aero Vodochody factory test pilot. They are certainly among the best L-39 pilots worldwide, with thousands of flight hours on the L-39 only.
There might be cheaper "cookie-cutter" options available also. But we strongly recommend choosing a professional instructor and practicing a lot when operating an L-39. Also, refresher courses and emergency training should be done regularly.Recent crashes suggest that the L-39 is a more dangerous aircraft than many think after having the training. As long as everything is fine the L-39 is good-natured, but the dangers are often underestimated. Recent incidents show that hobby pilots with a lack of training can lose their head in an emergency situation. And then the L-39 suddenly is a dangerous aircraft.
About the Author – Philipp Schaer is managing partner at MiGFlug & Adventure GmbH, the parent company of FlyFighterJet.com. The Switzerland-based company is specialized in fighter jet rides, zero gravity flights and well-positioned for the upcoming suborbital space flights. The company also offers the last possibility to fly supersonic worldwide, with the MiG-29 in Russia.

Looking at the License of Apache it doesn't make it sound like they wouldn't be able to do so, as long as they state like written in the license: "This product includes software developed by the Apache Group for use in the Apache HTTP server project (http://www.apache.org/)." Which I am quite sure they will, Covalent will probably use every chance they get to promote Apache. The reason why there might not be more information on this deal than what Covalents website gives[1] might be that the rest is to be worked out? When I heard this I was kind of happy for Apache, 'cause it can only be a good thing if Covalent gets a deal like this.

It's beautiful, Wendy....and I've been there! All day long painting something that I thought would take a couple hours. Ellipsis are SO hard, but you nailed it!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Laurie, yes, it's very rare for me to a quick painting but for some reason I persist with the idea that it's likely to happen with each new painting.Delete
this one's stunning Wendy! Elipse's are about the hardest thing to paint arent' they?! Good for you for even tackling it...You did such a beautiful job.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Sally! You are very encouraging. I love what you have been doing on the challenge!Delete

I love your daily flowers!
Okay Wendy! My goal is to keep up with your wonderful art! All great! I so love the darks in this piece! Very dramatic and so very beautiful! I will keep you posted buddy!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much Michael, it's great to have you cheering me on but don't worry if you don't get to comment regularly - I'll know you're there!Delete
Take care!
Wonderful and the pearl so realistic.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Margaret! Glad you like it.Delete
Happy New Year Wendy! Looks like you are off to a great start for 2016 by doing the challenge again. Looking good so far!ReplyDelete
Ha Ha, yeah ellipse' are brutal aren't they?! But if you don't put in the time and get them right it always comes back to haunt you so it was time well spent!
Love your palette on this one and the pearl is,... well a pearl! You put the focus right where it needed to be!
Keep painting...Replies
Thanks so much for your glowing comments David!Delete
Yes, you're right - if the hard yards aren't put in early on it can only end in tears. Or is that just me?:)
Am about to catch up on your blog!
Who notices the eclipses anyway with such a fabulously painted pearl. So I looked anyway and they are perfect.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are too kind Julie! I just went back to your blog to re-admire the shiny little gold feet on your china pot. I so love your style!Delete
This is awesome! I would think the whole thing would be difficult. That pearl looks perfect!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Janine, the pearl took quite a while to get looking like a pearl I confess.Delete
Amazing Wendy - the ellipses are so difficult for me but yours are super friend. Just beautiful.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Debbie, this painting nearly broke my spirit but in the end I was very happy with it.Delete
Perfect pearl, beautiful shifts of colour and value,I love it! I have a string of my Mother's I want to paint but I know they won't be easy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Karen. I hope you do attempt it one day. I find that if I paint what I see and trust it then it somehow seems to work. It is so tempting with these shiny things to add more white and shine because we believe it should have more. This pearl just looked grey to me but I trusted what I was seeing and it worked in the end. I'm sure you know all this already Karen as you are a master at painting shiny things.Delete

Become a Social Justice Resource Friend!
In November of 2016, the PYM staff Community Engagement Team began a process of discernment with Quakers, organizers, trainers, and social justice activists.These elders provided guidance and expertise on how PYM Friends could most effectively move into social action, grounded in our powerful spiritual tradition and in our core commitment to honor that of God in everyone. A vision emerged from the consultations to create an intensive spiritual organizing program that will bring together 10-15 Friends from across our yearly meeting to hone spiritual organizing skills and strategies for supporting local Quaker communities in taking bold and creative action for social change.
We are calling this program the Quaker Action Training (QAT). It is free to participate. The program was developed in partnership and will be facilitated by Training for Change. The QAT is built around 3, three day intensives as well as self-organized meetups and coaching sessions. Participants will deepen their ability to organize Friends from a spiritual center. The training is designed to support participants in developing skills (and mutual accountability) around their organizing needs as they emerge.
Participants who complete the QAT (it will end in early 2018) will become part of the founding cohort of Social Justice Resource Friends. By the spring of 2018, the founding cohort will begin making themselves available to monthly meetings, quarterly meetings, worship groups, youth programs, young adult Friends, and all other sub-communities that make up our yearly meeting! In exchange for modest honoraria, Social Justice Resource Friends will help local Quaker community discern how to engage effectively in social action.
The application and a more comprehensive program description can be found online here.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about the program, or if you or someone you know might be interested in applying and need more information. We can be reached at email@example.com or 215-241-7029. Thank you!

Predatory rats are mickey mouse contrasted and the appalling people in "The Piper," South Korean helmer-recorder Kim Gwang-tae's chilling transposition of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" to a Korean village in the mid '50s. As a hopeless tale on human instinct ("Crimes perpetrated for survival ought to be pardoned," notes one character), it's really old cap, however as a purposeful anecdote on Korean history and governmental issues, the motion picture demonstrates pessimistically attentive, with starkly temperate narrating and sharp visual impacts to boot.
In spite of the dream ghastliness trappings, gorehounds expecting an ordinarily terrible K-thriller result might be disillusioned by the film's tone of controlled outrage.

Town Council President Janet Joakim will not resign her Precinct 6 council seat and will fight the recall.
Town Council President Janet Joakim will not resign her Precinct 6 council seat and will fight the recall.
When the council meets this Thursday, it is expected to select a date for the recall election. Nov. 4 is the latest date such an election can be called.
Joakim released the following statement Sunday night on her blog, sevenvillagesblog.com:
"After careful consideration and discussion with family and friends I have decided that I will fight the recall attempt.
"Throughout the past few weeks I have heard from so many people who are concerned about who is behind this recall effort and the vendetta that drives it, and what this means to our town.
"The reasons for the recall as presented on the petition misrepresent my record and place blame and responsibility for the decisions of others at my feet.
"According to several people who were met at their doors by someone asking them to sign a petition, my record, motives, and reputation were misrepresented in those discussions.
"Taryn Thoman, who initiated this petition drive and collected signatures, and the group calling itself COG, have been relentlessly using harassment and intimidation to force me to resign since shortly after I became president.
"These people and the vendettas they pursue are eating away at the fabric of our town.
"I am not going to let them force me to quit."

More Movie Reviews...
Deck The Halls
But, I have to say...some scenes reminded me of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...which to me is just golden---the King of Christmas Comedy...
Shrek The Third
Gotta say---a bit disappointing. Maybe my expectations were just too high. I fully expected it to be more about them having the babies & parenting ogre-style. Not so much. The babies aren't born until the very very end...and it just wasn't as funny as I expected.
I did appreciate the music references & the actual music from the movie.

Array functions
Biomedical research has entered a new era of characterizing a disease or a protein on a global scale. In the post-genomic era, Proteomics now plays an increasingly important role in dissecting molecular functions of proteins and discovering biomarkers in human diseases. Mass spectrometry, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and high-density antibody and protein arrays are some of the most commonly used methods in the Proteomics field.

An array is a series of elements of the same type placed in contiguous memory locations that can be individually referenced by adding an index to a unique identifier. That means that, for example, we can store 5 values of type int in an array without having to declare 5 different variables, each one with a different identifier.

Of all the programming languages I have used throughout my over 20-year career, PHP is my favorite, hands down.

as as far as leaving your luggage unlocked , never. We lock it, and wrap it. If they want to get in to see something, they call us down. The airline thieves have never opened our bags either.
