I have about 12 to 15 scripts that I use regularely, that means more or less daily. I would like to have for each of them a separate user button.
The skins I use - either pocosmall or pocoexpress - let me have only 10 (1-0).
Is there a skin which lets you have more then ten or is there a way to modify a toolbar to accomodate more then ten?
Thank you for help,

Building a Company Around FarmVille Is as Dumb As It Sounds
Zynga's been the poster child for the current tech bubble. It built an implausible sounding business around FarmVille and other Facebook games, its offices were over the top self parody, and it planned a billion dollar IPO. But everything seems to be falling apart. Go figure.
The maker of mind numbingly dull online games like Mafia Wars recently disclosed its profits fell 95 percent and that active users fell after being flat for a year. It delayed its IPO. And now today comes word that Zynga is trying to distance itself from its mother ship Facebook by launching its own gaming site, "Project Z" and nine other products that avoid Facebook's debilitating 30 percent tax on its revenue.
Maybe this new, more autonomous strategy will succeed. How will the new and independent Zynga.com work? "You will still need a Facebook account to play the games. Zynga... will utilize Facebook Connect." Ugh. Facepalm. Well, looks like another high score for Mark Zuckerberg.

New Release Adds Predictive Analytics, Increased Support for Big Data, Enhanced Visualizations, Tighter Security, Integration With SAP BW and More
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 28, 2013) - DistribuTECH 2013 -- Space‐Time Insight, the leading provider of next‐generation situational intelligence solutions, today announced the general availability of the 4.0 release of its award-winning situational intelligence (SI) product suite. The products in the suite, SI Server 4.0, SI Designer 4.0 and SI Viewer 4.0, enable the development and deployment of sophisticated visual analytics applications that correlate, analyze and visualize massive amounts of real-time and historical data to facilitate fast, informed decision making. In addition to traditional analytical functions, these products uniquely help users visualize and analyze data of any type from any source, geospatially, across time, and by nodes in a network. Most notably, the new release introduces predictive analytics capabilities that enable organizations to go beyond understanding "what's happening now" and gain insight into "what might happen next," better preparing personnel to plan for and respond swiftly to evolving operational conditions.
"In this era of big data, businesses are challenged to understand and make rapid decisions on data being generated at different speeds in a variety of formats," said Rob Schilling, CEO of Space-Time Insight. "With the release of our 4.0 product suite, Space-Time Insight further raises the bar on the way all data is correlated, analyzed and visualized. Our customers are not just analyzing data, they're gaining incredible insights from it. And they're not just looking at it in charts and tables, they're visualizing it in unique ways that are meaningful to their business."
The 4.0 product set includes a host of new features requested by Space-Time Insight's global customer base, including some of the largest utilities in North America. These features include:
Predictive Analytics Help Organizations Future-Proof Their Operations
For utilities, transportation companies, telecommunications providers and other businesses with complex operational requirements, sometimes even real-time intelligence is not enough. For example, it may be too late to line up resources and repair crews once a severe storm that threatens critical infrastructure is in full swing. The predictive analytics functionality in the 4.0 release enables the prediction of behavior based on historical results so that proactive actions can be taken while a situation is still developing. The software intelligently classifies data sets into groups with similar patterns of behavior and uses powerful data reduction algorithms to suppress irrelevant information so that users are not overwhelmed by the quantity of data.
For more information about Space-Time Insight's solutions, visit the company's booth (#811) on the DistribuTECH exhibit floor or attend presentations by Space-Time Insight's customers at the conference.

Pizza Bagel, one of the offerings at this week's inaugural Italian Contemporary Film Festival, is an edgy Italian-Jewish farce turning on the pitfalls of cross-religious dating.
Joe Mari's short, scheduled to be screened on Sunday, July 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre, is seriously funny. Tommy (Michael Pillarella), a young Canadian of Italian descent, has invited his Jewish girlfriend, Rebecca (Alona Metzer), to his father's house for supper, and he's a nervous wreck as he anticipates her imminent arrival.
Tommy's father, Dominic (Gino Cafarelli), a gruff restaurateur, is eager to please his son by cooking a first-class meal for Rebecca and her mother. But when Dominic opens his fridge, Tommy is mortified to find a profusion of pork products inside.
"They can't eat pork," he exclaims in exasperation. "They're Jewish!"
No problem, Dominic assures Tommy, saying he will fix things. Tommy proceeds to give him a shopping list of acceptable food he can buy for the occasion. But in a riposte, Dominic admonishes him not to be ashamed of his Italian background.
With tensions rising, Pizza Bagel segues to a scene in which Rebecca and her brash mother (Carla Collins) get into a late-model silver BMW for the drive over to Tommy's place.
In preparation for their visit, Dominic has decorated the house with Israeli and Italian flags and soccer motifs. More importantly, he has slapped together a number of suitable dishes, including pizza bagels. The question, of course, is whether the dinner will be a success.
Pizza Bagel, with witty performances from its cast, is a sardonic romp into the perils and joys of intercultural dating.

Cyber Network Defense is a critical and evolving requirement for organizations large and small in the 21st century. There are a number of component courses available for various disciplines in the realm of CND; however, there are very few options for a CND crash-course bootcamp that covers topics relevant to the overarching mission of defending the home network. Many courses teach the fundamentals of incident response utilities, malware analysis, and reverse engineering. In practice, we find many "detection" tools have limited success rates and can be quite misleading – from basic antivirus to highly specialized memory and hooking analysis tools.
This course will cover the holistic approach to CND, beginning with intelligence ingestion and easing into network anomaly detection and advanced network forensics. Following the understanding of the network layer, the course will introduce key concepts of incident analysis by providing an in-depth introduction into incident response device forensics using freely available and commercially licensed tools of the trade. With incident analysis and network forensics under their belts, students will then immerse themselves in nearly a full day of static and dynamic reverse engineering to include topics like manual unpacking and deobfuscation of command and control protocols. To round out the training, students will be given a short training in incident reporting and will learn how to present technical findings to managerial and executive level personnel in a clear and concise manner.
Students should have a working understanding of how computer networking functions. This class will require math skills to understand decimal, hexadecimal, and binary. Understanding of the various components of a computer and how they functions (RAM/Disk/CPU). This class will demonstrate low-level programming language components so an understanding of what is assembly is preferred - though we will cover some basics.

Our entire experience of Hamlet thus far came from our school days – memories of long lessons pouring over unfathomable soliloquies. There was no swearing, no smoking, and certainly no nudity.
Yet all three are dropped into the first ten minutes of Riverside Studios' version, making it clear that this is no ordinary production of Hamlet. The Danish castle of the original makes way for a Liverpudlian prison, with Hamlet's uncle-stepfather cast as a crime ring leader, and the f-bomb (and worse) being dropped left, right and centre, usually to comic ends.
We had considered brushing up on our dog-eared school notes before going along, and for the first few minutes, we wished we had. Shakespeare can be challenging enough to understand, and the fast-paced Liverpudlian spin on this version makes it all the more difficult to follow. A few minutes in, however, our ears had accustomed to the thick Scouse accents – varying somewhat in credibility from actor to actor.
The staging is economical but effective enough, with three movable prison gates making the transformations needed for every scene. During some scenes, two conversations happen simultaneously on the stage, with the audience conflicted over which they should follow.
Lighting is used to good effect, but the most overpowering stage tool is the cigarette smoke. The characters light up unnecessarily on stage throughout, and although we've been assured that they were herbal cigarettes, the smoke and cigarette smell left some in the audience visibly struggling to breathe comfortably, and bursting out through the auditorium doors into fresh air at the interval. The smoke only got worse post-interval, and by the wrap, our lungs felt as though they had aged 10 years. If this was meant to be a tool to convey the claustrophobia of prison or of Hamlet's mental state, it only served to isolate the coughing audience.
Adam Lawrence as Hamlet does a brilliant job at staying as true to the original as the adapted script will allow, while bringing the play to life for a 21st century audience.
Not since Luhrmann was let loose on Romeo and Juliet has Shakespeare seen such a makeover, but to make one of the most famous tragedies in the world into a comedy is impressive. The play is somewhat abridged from Shakespeare's original epic, and anyone hoping to see the infamous 'Alas poor Yorrick' monologue will be disappointed, as there's not a human skull in sight.
While Shakespeare 's most avid supporters might argue that he'd be turning in his grave, we reckon that if he was here to see this, he'd be having a jolly good chuckle.
Hamlet is on at the Riverside Studios until 22 June 2014. Londonist saw this play on a complimentary ticket.

One hundred seventy dollars worth of suspense--plus shipping--that ought to keep you busy for a week or two. So get busy and send in your best posts and show me what gives you nightmares (I know for my husband it would be mushrooms).
But besides this the winner and all runners-up or honorable mentions (I leave that up to the judge to award them) will also get to take home this attractive Write-Away Winner button which he or she may display in their sidebar if they wish.
Good luck, I look forward to reading your entries.

No Injuries in Sioux Falls House Fire
No one was injured in a house fire that was reported around midnight Friday in Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue officials say the first crews to arrive at 4501 West 37th Street found smoke coming from the soffit vents on all sides of the house.
Firefighters found flames in the attic on the garage side, with the fire extending some six feet into the kitchen.
Crews had the fire out in approximately 10 minutes, and the home was left with light smoke, structural, and water damage.
The residents were out of the house before fire units arrived, and there were no injuries.
The house did have smoke detectors, and the cause is under investigation.

Hi. I am from Bristol, England, and am a Cheek. My dad's side are Cheeks- the family originating from London stretching way back to the 1600s and before. I wondered if there is a linked ancestor???

She was born March 8, 1870 in Cumberland County, Illinois. She married George Thomas "Old Tom" Jaynes September 11, 1896, at age 26. So sometime before that she married Mr. Abbott.
She had 2 children with Mr. Abbott. A daughter, Edna Catharine "Katy" Abbott was born May 9, 1892. She lived to be the ripe old age of 42, when she died of TB. I don't know whether their other child was born first or last. His name was Percy Abbott. He was said to be a sickly child, always weak and tired. The story was that he simply lay down on the floor one day and died. I have not found any evidence of the actual existance of this child. But he did exist.
A great-aunt said that both children were buried in Washington County, IN but Katy is buried beside her husband in Seymour, Jackson County, IN. So I have no idea where Percy was born, lived, died or buried. Very frustrating.
Cora and her parents lived for some time in Switzerland County, Indiana. They were George Washington and Agnes Joyce/Joice Hines. They both died in Neoga, Cumberland County, Illinois.
The only clue I have is a note I made many years ago. All it says is:
Seymour Weekly Democrat
Nov. 20, 1897
Percy Abbott
The library did not have that issue on microfilm. Is this about my Percy?
At any rate the date would be about right. She was married to "Old Tom" when the child died.
Any Abbotts out there from the Illinois, Indiana, Ohio area?

Beautiful beauty products... & Other Stories
I have no idea how good the actual products in this range are... if the mascara flakes or stays put, if the eye pencils are hard or creamy, whatever.
What I do know is that this range is gorgeous. It has a slightly messy chic look that's hard enough to capture with clothes and fashion and nearly impossible to do with beauty products without looking tatty.
The mix of white, lucite, serif and cursive fonts with suitably smeary (and unique) shots of the product is cool. I'm a big fan of real photography on packaging when it's done right... like it is here. & Other Stories has made a mid-range, achingly hip beauty brand that, perhaps, Topshop makeup wanted to be? As much as I do like Topshop, its makeup range is sort of missing the coveted edginess I see here. It feels a bit like Benefit's slightly less twee older sister.
This range doesn't. Probably because it's been designed by teams in Paris and Stockholm. Now that I think of it, it does feel very French, doesn't it?
& Other Stories is a subsidiary of H&M, so not some indie cool company, but still pretty cool, mainstream brand or not. They also sell other brands that you might have seen in so-hip-it-hurts places like Colette... Uslu et al.
Beauty is just one of the categories of merchandise made and sold by & Other Stories.
Currently they're only in Europe.

Top travel trends for 2013
Burma, Marseille, New Zealand and Gettysburg are all on the travel radar for 2013 thanks to new tours, events and anniversaries. But the best pitch for travel in the new year might just be coming from Ireland, which is running ads "calling all Flynns, O'Malleys and Schweizenbergs" to the Emerald Isle for a unique grassroots homecoming called "The Gathering."
Here are details on these and other places, events and travel trends for 2013.
The Gathering
"It's a citizen-led initiative to attract people who are Irish-born, Irish-bred or Irish in spirit to join us in 2013," said Bernard McMullan of Tourism Ireland. "It's almost become a competition where one county, town or village tries to have as quirky a gathering as the next."
More than 2,000 events are already planned, including events for redheads and left-handers as well as reunions based on family names and clans.
The U.S. Census Bureau says 34.7 million Americans claim Irish ancestry, and Arabella Bowen, executive editorial director of Fodor's Travel, is one of them. "There are Irish people all over the world," said Bowen. "It will be great fun being able to connect with others going back for this event."
President Obama's historic recent visit to Burma - the first ever by a sitting U.S. president - is adding to already heated-up interest in the country, which has only fully opened to tourism in the last few years.
Many tour companies are adding Burma trips due to demand, and the U.S. Tour Operators Association's active members named Burma No. 1 on a list of "off the beaten path" countries they foresee becoming popular in 2013.
New Zealand
New Zealand received a huge boost in tourism from fans of "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, and the release of the new movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is focusing attention on the destination once again. All four of the movies were filmed in New Zealand.
The French port city Marseille is one of two European capitals of culture in 2013, along with the Slovakian city of Kosice. Fodor's Bowen says Marseille "has been overlooked in the past" by a lot of travelers heading to the lavender fields and wineries of Provence, but she believes it's ripe for a "renaissance" with new hotels, art galleries and culinary hotspots. XL Airways France is launching direct flights from New York in late May.
Several important anniversaries take place in 2013, with exhibits and events to mark them.
-- Gettysburg, Pa., is marking 150 years since the famous Civil War battle, which took place July 1-13, 1863. The town will also mark the sesquicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln's brief but brilliant 272-word speech, the Gettysburg Address, which he delivered Nov. 19, 1863, at the battlefield cemetery.
Marquee events for the battle commemoration, including reenactments and tours, will take place June 28 to July 7, but there will be activities and programs throughout the year.
-- Dallas plans a ceremony to mark 50 years since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, at the exact time and place where shots rang out: Dealey Plaza, Nov. 22, 12:25 p.m. The ceremony will begin with church bells tolling and a moment of silence, followed by a reading of Kennedy's speeches, songs, prayers and a military flyover.
-- Saratoga, N.Y., is planning a May to September celebration with festivals and concerts marking the 150th anniversary of the race course. The town is also known for upscale restaurants and lodging along with Saratoga Spa State Park.
-- New York City's Grand Central Terminal kicks off its centennial Feb. 1 with a rededication of the landmark Beaux Arts station. Performances, lectures, exhibits and tours are planned throughout the year.
-- Florida is marking the state's 500th anniversary of European discovery and exploration, with events in all 67 counties.
Theme parks
At Disneyland in Anaheim, spring will see the opening of Fantasy Faire, located at Fantasyland and dedicated to Disney heroes and heroines. At Disney World near Orlando, Fla., a new attraction called Princess Fairytale Hall, where guests can meet Disney princesses, is also scheduled to open in 2013.
Superstorm Sandy destroyed beaches, boardwalks and waterfront attractions all along the mid-Atlantic coast. Many communities are hoping to have infrastructure rebuilt by summer.
On Coney Island, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the landmark Cyclone and Wonder Wheel rides are in good condition along with other amusement park attractions and are expected to reopen in spring as usual, along with the famous hot dog joint Nathan's and the Cyclones' minor-league baseball stadium. The New York Aquarium at Coney has been closed due to damage from flooding but hopes to reopen some if not all exhibits by summer.
Hotel trends
Anne Banas, executive editor of Smarter Travel, said ever-increasing airfares and airline fees have forced travelers to focus on the other big-ticket item in vacation spending: hotels.
Banas said sites like SniqueAway, Jetsetter and the Vacationist are becoming more popular "because you can get a more luxurious property for lower prices - you can stay at a four- or five-star hotel for the price of a three-star. But you have to be more flexible."
Jan Freitag of STR, which tracks hotel data, said mobile apps are becoming a "preferred travel booking tool" to the point where some travel startups are forgoing websites for app-only hotel booking models.
-- The George W. Bush Presidential Center opens in the spring on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
-- In Nashville, the Johnny Cash Museum is expected to open in the spring.
-- American Express reports an emerging interest in safaris "beyond Africa," from "Borneo's orangutans to Cambodia's elephants, India's tigers to Indonesia's komodo dragons."

Current Mountain Report
Click Here to order the Ski the 14ers book available now!!
The Mission
There are 54 rugged mountain peaks in Colorado
over 14,000 feet, and in 2006, professional
freeskier Chris Davenport plans to be the
first ski them all in a single season. Two-time
World Champion Davenport's work in
ski films and success in big mountain contests
ranks him among the best alpine athletes
on skis today. He's also made a career
out of leading first descents in mountain
ranges around the world. But now the Aspen/
Snowmass based Davenport is turning to his
own backyard in search of his greatest challenge
yet: to ascend to the highest points in
Colorado and ski down through some of the
most demanding backcountry in the Rockies.
Only one other ski-mountaineer has laid
tracks from the summit, down all 54 mountains
over 14,000 feet in Colorado, the legendary
Lou Dawson. Lou took fourteen years to complete
the task. Davenport plans to start skiing
these formidable peaks on January 1, and
continue making descents for as long as
the snow holds out.

Coyotes coach Tocchet to miss meeting with Kings
NHL Headlines
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The man who has the Arizona Coyotes playing like a playoff team -- even though they won't make the postseason -- won't be behind the bench Tuesday night.
First-year Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet is taking a leave of absence to deal with a family illness, so assistant coach John MacLean will coach them against the Los Angeles Kings, a team that is back in control of its playoff destiny.
"Family comes first," Coyotes general manager John Chayka said in a statement issued Monday. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Toc (Tocchet) as he deals with his personal matter. It's important that he takes the time to be there with his family."
MacLean, who spent 19 NHL seasons as a player, coached the New Jersey Devils at the start of the 2010-11 season but was let go after the team went 9-22-2 in its first 33 games.
Chayka did not indicate how long Tocchet -- who won the Stanley Cup the last two seasons as a Pittsburgh Penguins assistant coach -- would be away from the team. He coached them to a 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night at Gila River Arena.
The Kings moved into third place in the Western Conference on Monday by also shutting out the Canucks, this time by 3-0 as goaltender Jonathan Quick turned aside all 28 shots he faced. Anze Kopitar scored his 28th goal, and Adrian Kempe assisted on Tyler Toffoli's 22nd goal and Tanner Pearson 13th. Toffoli also assisted on Pearson's goal.
The Coyotes are 22-35-11 and own the NHL's worst record, but they've turned it around in the second half of the season and are 4-1-1 in their last six games and 10-3-2 in their past 15. They're 13-7-6 since the start of the year, beating the Canucks for the second time in five days behind backup goaltender Darcy Kuemper's first shutout with Arizona, a 27-save effort.
The Coyotes kept their recent surge going as defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the game-winning goal Sunday at 15:07 of the second period, his 10th goal of the season. His 27 game-winning goals since he broke into the NHL in 2010-11 are the most among NHL defensemen during that time.
"I'd rather be battling for a playoff spot than scoring goals," Ekman-Larsson said. "At the same time, it means I'm doing something good out there. I've been getting some good looks lately and it's nice to see them go in."
Kuemper, acquired from the Kings last month, seems to be getting a good look at opposing pucks these days. He's started the last four Coyotes games due to starter Antti Raanta's lower-body injury. He gave up only one goal in the two Coyotes victories against Vancouver, though he was also in net for a 5-2 loss at Colorado on Saturday.
"Every start, I feel more and more comfortable with the team," said Kuemper, who was 10-1-3 with Los Angeles before the Kings traded him.
If Raanta can't go again Tuesday night, Kuemper could oppose Jack Campbell, who replaced him as Quick's backup.
Every game is important right now for the Kings, who have won five of seven and eight of 12 despite being embarrassed 7-2 in a loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at the Staples Center. Los Angeles is 1-0-1 against the Coyotes this season, losing 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 24 but beating them 6-0 on Feb. 3. The teams play against March 29 in Los Angeles.
"It was a good bounce-back game for us, and two points we really needed," Toffoli said of the win over Vancouver. "It was huge. We focused on tonight (Monday) and now we've got to start worrying about tomorrow (Tuesday), and we'll do that."
Kings center Jeff Carter has four goals and two assists in eight games since a Feb. 24 return from a 55-game layoff with an injured tendon in his leg. Carter has seven goals and 11 assists in 29 career games against Arizona.

Hey Corry,
It was good to hear from you!
I have your blog on my blog list favorites. I check every day or so to see what all my quilt bloggies are up to, but I have a naughty habit of not leaving comments.
Sorry, I know I should, but I need to get in the habit. I really enjoy your blog, it was among the first I read when I entered this virtual quilt world! The fabric colors you enjoy and use are stunning, so it is no wonder that all your little creations are so sweet. I promise to be a better blog friend and leave more comments when I visit! :-) ~Moorea

9-6-09 PNC Park
What's worse than attending a Sunday afternoon game?
Attending a Sunday afternoon game with the Cardinals taking batting practice.
When I got to PNC Park, I stood outside for awhile and looked in. There were no cages set up, and the garage doors to where the screens and cage were kept, were closed.
After talking to fellow ballhawk Nick Pelescak before the gates opened, I decided to not enter the park, and just go home. I didn't feel like running all over the place to try and get a ball. I would basically have to beg players to throw me a warm up ball, which is something I'm not fond of doing.
On my way walking back to my car, I got a call from Nick. The groundscrew had just rolled out all of the screens. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to head back towards PNC Park.
Unfortunately, the team taking batting practice on this Sunday was the St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are notorious for their line drive, opposite field approach, making home runs rare.
Luckily, when they began hitting, one Cardinals batter hit a ball to the left center field wall. I threw my glove out on the field twice to roll the ball to the base of the wall, and used the glove trick to reel up ball #1.
Game: 1 ball (1 device)
Season: 344 balls (181 hit, 101 thrown, 62 device)
Games: 71 games (7 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 4.85 balls per game
Career: 510 balls
Streak: 86 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 19,274

A dazzlingly brillant and flawless watch, exactly as the photos depicted my Rolex Submariner. Highly precise for an automatic. but expected for a Rolex. Bob's Watches is the Rolex World capital for the purchase of your certified used timepiece. This purchase was my second Submariner, my first was gifted to my Son when I turned 65. This Submariner was my gift at age 66...I could not live without mine! A Rolex is a symbol of one's accomplishments and achievements throughout life.
I lost my 2003 two tone sub blue years ago and have been wanting to replace it with one line my original. This watch was perfect. Truly like new. I love it.
Overall, I enjoyed the purchasing experience. The condition of the watch was as advertised (excellent) and the process of purchase was simple and straight forward. I was pleased with the speed with which the watch was shipped, tracked and delivered. I would without question shop with Bob's again.
Excellent, watch was shipped within 24 hours. Looks brand new. Dealt with Marcy thru e-mail, very helpful. Very happy and would use Bob's again. Waited a month to write this review to be sure Id still be happy. YUP.
This by far is my favorite Rolex. You can wear it for any occasion.
Had this same watch in 2004. Went through hard times and had to sell it. I finally got one similar.
Although I have the watch a short time, it is beautiful piece, arrived supper fast and had a truly flawless experience
After collecting various watches over my lifetime, I decided to purchase a watch that I really wanted and after searching the web I finally ran across Bob's watches with "the" watch and the price I was willing to pay. Within 5 days I had the black dial 2 tone submariner Rolex in hand. The transaction was simple and even though the Rolex was previously owned it looks brand new and runs perfect. Overall I'm completely satisfied and Bob's Watches integrity is of the highest in my opinion.
Watch arrived in excellent condition exactly like the photo on line. Very easy purchase. Will certainly buy from Bob's again!
Experience was good. Happy I did what I did!
As described v. Good condition purchase and delivery went smoothly. Delighted,
Fast delivery. Exactly as specified. Better than expected. I would buy again from Bob's.
It's a beautiful SS/gold Sub with a brilliant blue dial. The website pic didn't do it justice. Watch and bracelet are near flawless, as far as I can tell. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Quick overnight service, received watch the next day. It was in perfect shape, looked as new. Came complete with box and warranty card.
Pristine Submariner that will be a cherished addition to my collection.
i bought a two-tone submariner and I am very happy with my purchase. I got a really great price and a great Rolex. A Rolex watch is definitely a status quo symbol. When I receive my watch it was in impeccable condition with no scratches and very nice-looking I will definitely buy my next watch from Bob's watches

SAN FRANCISCO — Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today announced that Gervork Aroutiounyan, 48, was sentenced for an ATM identity theft scam that spanned seven counties.
Aroutiounyan and Gnel Snapyan, 35, were charged for "skimming" debit card information of Chase Bank customers and stealing $320,728. The Department of Justice eCrime Unit was able to charge the entirety of the scheme across seven counties, including the counties of Santa Clara, Marin, Fresno, San Bernardino, San Diego and Los Angeles.
Aroutiounyan was sentenced today in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court to three years and eight months in state prison, and ordered to pay restitution to Chase Bank of $320,728. The sentencing of Snapyan was delayed until June 15.
"These criminals stole not just money, but people's identity," said Attorney General Harris. "While modern technology provides many advantages, it is also increasingly being used by criminals, which is why I created the eCrime unit within the Department of Justice."
In September 2011, the Attorney General's office charged the defendants with 28 counts of felony fraud. On March 1, the defendants entered a plea of guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit grand theft, computer access fraud, identity theft, second degree burglary and forgery of access cards. Additionally, each plead guilty to three counts of second degree burglary.
Between July 2010 and February 2011, Aroutiounyan and his co-conspirator replaced the card readers at Chase Bank ATM vestibules. The readers they installed allowed them to retrieve the card information of customers using the ATM. Additionally, the crew installed micro cameras to capture the card holders' PIN entry. With both the card information and the PIN information, they created bogus ATM access cards. These cards were used to fraudulently withdraw $320,728. This type of crime is frequently referred to as a "skimmer operation."
Chase Bank has reimbursed customers for their losses. The case was investigated by the San Luis Obispo County Police Department.
The California Department of Justice eCrime unit was created last year to identify and prosecute identity theft crimes, cyber crimes and other crimes involving the use of technology.

Hi there
Can anyone give me feedback on the new vision 10.5m for wave riding. Got a 6 and 8 religion and was wondering whether to go for new 10 religion or vision 10.5m to complete the quiver. Any feedback would be great.

After six years in the army, Stephan Wolfert hopped off the Amtrak deep in the mountains of Montana and found himself at a performance of RICHARD III that would change his life forever. In this heartrending one-man show, Wolfert examines his own experiences pre- and post-service in the lines of some of Shakespeare's most famous speeches. Through his own personal insights, Wolfert explores our societal neurosis of war, and questions: Is there room for improvement in the way in which we reintegrate our Vets back into society? The military recruits citizens and trains them to kill, but what does the "de-cruit" process look like? How do we re-learn to live together?

text: Hi at all. Maybe I'm only one of the many noobs that is coming here in HoWToForge asking for the DNS problem. But I manager for 2 years a DirectAdmin server and never had problems, so I think maybe I'm missing something. I'm using Debian 6 default OVH distribution for ISPconfig 3 on a Kimsufi. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are 2 ways to setup DNS: by using the domain DNS server: just point record A and MX to the Ip address of the server. It worked, but instead of opening the site website it open the main site page (http://ks3281171.kimsufi.com). by setting up the internal server DNS bind service: i followed this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund PS: I'm trying to set a first domain called www.ver1tas.it. The problem is that ISPconfig is not loading my site uploaded by FTP!

I called a number of vendors trying to resolve the issues with my solar batteries and I was not getting anywhere. When I called Solar Biz, Patty went the extra mile to solve my problems.

Related: Appreciation: James Gandolfini was a lot more than Tony Soprano
» Watch a video tribute to James Gandolfini
LOS ANGELES – James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally delicate crime boss in HBO's "The Sopranos" was the brilliant center of one of TV's greatest drama series and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, died Wednesday in Italy. He was 51.
Gandolfini died while vacationing in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini's managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement. No cause of death was given.
"He was a genius," said "Sopranos" creator David Chase. "Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes."
Gandolfini, who won three Emmy Awards for his role as Tony Soprano, worked steadily in film and on stage after the series ended. He earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his role in the celebrated production of "God of Carnage."
"Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving," said Armstrong and Sanders.
HBO called the actor a "special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone, no matter their title or position, with equal respect." The channel expressed sympathy for his wife and children.
Joe Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on the HBO drama, said he was shocked and heartbroken.
"Fifty-one and leaves a kid – he was newly married. His son is fatherless now. … It's way too young," Gannascoli said.
Gandolfini and his wife, Deborah, who were married in 2008, have a daughter, Liliana, born last year, HBO said. The actor and his former wife, Marcy, have a teenage son, Michael.
Gandolfini's performance in "The Sopranos" was indelible and career-making, but he refused to be stereotyped as the bulky mobster who was a therapy patient, family man and apparently effortless killer.
In a December 2012 interview with The Associated Press – a rare sit-down for the star who avoided the spotlight – he was upbeat about a slew of smaller roles following the breathtaking blackout ending in 2007 of "The Sopranos."
"I'm much more comfortable doing smaller things," Gandolfini said in the interview. "I like them. I like the way they're shot; they're shot quickly. It's all about the scripts – that's what it is – and I'm getting some interesting little scripts."
He played Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden hunt docudrama "Zero Dark Thirty." He worked with Chase for the '60s period drama "Not Fade Away," in which he played the old-school father of a wannabe rocker. And in Andrew Dominick's crime flick "Killing Them Softly," he played an aged, washed-up hit man.
There were comedies such as the political satire "In the Loop," and the heartwarming drama "Welcome to the Rileys," which co-starred Kristen Stewart. He voiced the Wild Thing Carol in "Where the Wild Things Are" and made a rare return to the TV screen with the HBO film "Cinemate Verite."
He was mourned online by a flood of celebrity comments. "The great James Gandolfini passed away today. Only 51. I can't believe it," Bette Midler posted on her Twitter account.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to James Gandolfini's family. An extraordinary actor. RIP, Mr. Gandolfini," Robin Williams tweeted.
Deploying his unsought clout as a star, Gandolfini produced (though only sparingly appeared in) a pair documentaries for HBO focused on a cause he held dear: veterans affairs.
"Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq" (2007) profiled 10 soldiers and Marines who had cheated death but continued to wage personal battles long after their military service had ended. Four years later, "Wartorn: 1861-2010" charted victims of post-traumatic stress disorder from the U.S. invasion of Iraq all the way back to the Civil War.
"Do I think a documentary is going to change the world?" Gandolfini said with characteristic modesty during an interview about the latter film. "No, but I think there will be individuals who will learn things from it, so that's enough."
His final projects included the film "Animal Rescue," directed by Michael R. Roskam and written by Dennis Lehane, which has been shot and is expected to be released next year. He also had agreed to star in a seven-part limited series for HBO, "Criminal Justice," based on a BBC show. He had shot a pilot for an early iteration of the project.
Gandolfini grew up in Park Ridge, N.J., the son of a building maintenance chief at a Catholic school and a high school lunch lady.
While Tony Soprano was a larger-than-life figure, Gandolfini was exceptionally modest and obsessive – he described himself as "a 260-pound Woody Allen."
In past interviews, his cast mates had far more glowing descriptions to offer.
"I had the greatest sparring partner in the world, I had Muhammad Ali," said Lorraine Bracco, who, as Tony's psychiatrist Dr. Melfi, went one-on-one with Gandolfini in their penetrating therapy scenes. "He cares what he does, and does it extremely well."
After earning a degree in communications from Rutgers University, Gandolfini moved to New York, where he worked as a bartender, bouncer and nightclub manager. When he was 25, he joined a friend of a friend in an acting class, which he continued for several years.
Gandolfini's first big break was a Broadway production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" where he played Steve, one of Stanley Kowalski's poker buddies. His film debut was in Sidney Lumet's "A Stranger Among Us" (1992).
Director Tony Scott, who killed himself in August 2012, had praised Gandolfini's talent for fusing violence with charisma – which he would perfect in Tony Soprano.
Gandolfini played a tough guy in Tony Scott's 1993 film "True Romance" who beat Patricia Arquette's character to a pulp while offering such jarring, flirtatious banter as, "You got a lot of heart kid."
Scott called Gandolfini "a unique combination of charming and dangerous."
In his early career, Gandolfini had supporting roles in "Crimson Tide" (1995), "Get Shorty" (1995), "The Juror" (1996), Lumet's "Night Falls on Manhattan" (1997), "She's So Lovely" (1997), "Fallen" (1998) and "A Civil Action" (1998). But it was "True Romance" that piqued the interest of Chase.
He shared a Broadway stage with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden in "God of Carnage" when he received the best-actor Tony nod. He was in "On the Waterfront" with David Morse and was an understudy in a revival of "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1992 starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.
In his 2012 AP interview, Gandolfini said he gravitated to acting as a release, a way to get rid of anger. "I don't know what exactly I was angry about," he said.
"I try to avoid certain things and certain kinds of violence at this point," he said last year. "I'm getting older, too. I don't want to be beating people up as much. I don't want to be beating women up and those kinds of things that much anymore."

For five decades, Judge Robert Bork (1927–2012) was the legal and moral conscience of America, reminding us of our founding principles and their cultural foundation. The scourge of liberal ideologues both before and after Ronald Reagan nominated him for the Supreme Court in 1987, Bork unwaveringly exposed—and explained—the hypocrisy and dereliction of duty endemic among our nationr's elites, the politicization and adversary activism of our courts, and the consequent degradation of American society.
A Time to Speak gathers together Judge Bork's most important and prophetic writings. Featuring a foreword and commentary by Judge Bork, this volume includes more than sixty vintage Bork contributions on topics ranging from President Nixon to St. Thomas More, from abortion to antitrust policy, from civil liberties to natural law. It also includes several of his judicial opinions and transcribed oral arguments. A Time to Speak is an indispensable book for all who have harkened to the truths spoken so forthrightly, in season and out, by this great American original.

Vocal ensemble to perform Sunday at Christ & Holy Trinity Church
Etherea Vocal Ensemble, a chamber group specializing in the performance of choral repertoire for treble (high) voices, will be heard in concert on Sunday, March 30 at Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.
The 4 p.m. concert at the church will be followed by a meet-the-artists reception.
The ensemble was founded and is directed by countertenor Derek Greten-Harrison. A countertenor is a male voice singing in the female range. Etherea has released two CDs to critical acclaim, both placing near the top of Billboard's Traditional Classical chart and the iTunes Classical chart, and has appeared at venues throughout Connecticut. The group will make its New York City debut at Carnegie Hall in June.
The Westport concert will include music from the ensemble's second CD, "Hymn to the Dawn," with accompaniment by harpist Grace Cloutier and keyboardist Alan Murchie.
The concert concludes Christ & Holy Trinity's Music & Arts season for 2013-14.

President Obama decided to make a quick visit to the Washington D.C. Auto Show this week in order to applaud American automobile manufacturers for their recent green transportation successes. While at the show, he hopped behind the wheel of a Ford C-Mas Energi plug-in hybrid electric, the Chevy Malibu Eco, the new Ford Fusion and a host of other American-made vehicles. The Obama administration has done much to push green vehicle innovation and it seems that perhaps candidate Obama will be using the auto industry's rebound from the darkest days of the recession as an argument for his success as commander in chief.
"When you look at all these cars, it is testimony to the outstanding work that's been done by workers, American workers, American designers," Obama said, while perusing the cars at the show. "The U.S. auto industry is back. The fact that GM is back, number one, I think shows the kind of turnaround that's possible when it comes to American manufacturing." While the President was at the Auto Show he had a special interest in sustainability, and his staff told the automakers to get their greenest vehicles ready before the President arrived.
When he showed up on site, Ford, GM and Dodge had their eco-cars perfectly shined up for a presidential visit. Although he did venture in to see a Jeep, a large truck and the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 which he was especially enamored with, it seems he had a keen eye for new American-made low-emissions technology. Representatives from international companies like Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Kia were unhappy that the President didn't stop by their booths to gaze upon the low-emission vehicles they had on display. We think the shun of overseas automakers — even though some produce vehicles in the United States for the American market — is an indicator that the President is setting himself up as candidate Obama, who has helped to bring the American auto industry back to its feet.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes ) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be done to:
Before the day of the electroencephalogram (EEG) test, tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines (such as sedatives and tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, sleeping aids, or medicines used to treat seizures) before the test. These medicines can affect your brain's usual electrical activity and cause abnormal test results.
Do not eat or drink foods that have caffeine (such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate) for 12 hours before the test.
Since the electrodes are attached to your scalp, make sure your hair is clean and free of sprays, oils, creams, and lotions. Shampoo your hair and rinse with clear water the evening before or the morning of the test. Do not put any hair conditioner or oil on after shampooing.
To find certain types of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, you may have to be asleep during the recording. You may be asked not to sleep at all the night before the test or to sleep less (about 4 or 5 hours) by going to bed later and getting up earlier than usual. If your child is going to be tested, try to keep him or her from taking naps just before the test. If you know that you are going to have a sleep-deprived EEG, plan to have someone drive you to and from the test.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be done in a hospital or in a doctor's office by an EEG technologist. The EEG record is read by a doctor who is specially trained to diagnose and treat disorders affecting the nervous system (neurologist
You will be asked to lie on your back on a bed or table or relax in a chair with your eyes closed. The EEG technologist will attach 17 to 21 flat metal discs (electrodes) to different places on your head, using a sticky paste to hold the electrodes in place. A cap with fixed electrodes may be placed on your head instead of individual electrodes. In rare cases, these electrodes may be attached to the scalp with tiny needles.
The electrodes are hooked by wires to a computer that records the electrical activity inside the brain. A machine can show the activity as a series of wavy lines drawn by a row of pens on a moving piece of paper or as an image on the computer screen.
Lie still with your eyes closed during the recording, and do not talk to the technologist unless you need to. The technologist will watch you directly or through a window during the test. The recording may be stopped from time to time to allow you to stretch and reposition yourself.
The technologist may ask you to do different things during the test to record what activity your brain does at that time.
An EEG takes 1 to 2 hours. After the test, you may do your normal activities. But if you were sleep-deprived or given a sleep medicine, have someone drive you home after the test.
There is no pain with an electroencephalogram (EEG).
If paste is used to hold the electrodes, some paste may stay in your hair after the test, so you will have to wash your hair to remove it. If needle electrodes are used (which is rare), you will feel a brief, sharp prick (about like having a hair pulled out) when each electrode is inserted. If electrodes are placed in your nose, they may cause a tickling feeling and, rarely, some soreness or a small amount of bleeding for 1 to 2 days after the test.
If you are asked to breathe rapidly, you may feel lightheaded or have some numbness in your fingers. This reaction is normal. It will go away a few minutes after you start breathing normally again.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a very safe test. The electrical activity of your brain is recorded, but at no time is any electrical current put into your body. An EEG should not be confused with electroshock (electroconvulsive) therapy.
If you have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy, a seizure may be triggered by the flashing lights or by hyperventilation. If this occurs, the technologist is trained to take care of you during the seizure.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer.

duanedecisions needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 275 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
Corporate message: Most business processes are too expensive to build, too difficult to change and requires far too much infrastructure. Our goals:
1. Allow for quick creation and publishing of processes through a 100% graphical tool.
2. Deliver a flexible and pluggable platform for our applications and partners, removing application silos.
3. Create cloud based applications that are more functional and easier to use than traditional premise software.
There are two parts to the company of Decisions.
1. Platform. The Decisions platform provides for 3rd parties and companies to build custom made solutions that benefit from automation.

Companies that are looking for automation in their environment and the ability to do this graphically.
Partners needing a process based, cloud platform to deliver their applications.
Need a new logo for our company, 'Decisions'.
Our current logo can be found on decisions.com. (Although the concept of connecting steps together is ok, I don't like the wavvy line above that connects.)
Some refinement on what I like:
1. After the majority of submissions, I would like to look at an icon. Something that can show what we do and have replaceable elements for the different products we do would be great.
2. Something clean and mostly text based.
2. Portray tight business look.
3. No images that require additional licensing. (or stock images)
Logo to be delivered in a layered Photoshop file and high quality jpg.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 20, 2010) - The ETSU Men's Soccer Program will host a free boy's soccer clinic at Summers-Taylor Soccer Stadium on April 29 from 6-7 p.m. The clinic is open to boys of all levels between the ages of four and 16.
"This is an opportunity for us as a program to continue to strengthen our ties to the soccer community in the Tri-Cities area" said ETSU head men's soccer coach Scott Calabrese. "Soccer is one of the largest youth participation sports in the United States today, and this our small way of saying thanks to those who have supported us since the program's inception in 2008. It is also a great way for families that aren't as familiar with soccer or the ETSU team to learn more."
The clinic will be conducted by the players and coaches from the men's program. For more information on the men's soccer program or for any other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.
