Well, we understand that everyone is looking for an opening date for the 2018 season. It has come to a bittersweet moment for Cutter's Grand BBQ. It has been our greatest pleasure to serve you and become friends with many of you over the years.
So, with sadness, we are announcing that Cutter's is closing, effective immediately.
Over the past 8 years, we have not been able to get away from working at the BBQ and concurrently having second jobs. We have also put two time consuming projects on hold over the years, and now we are at the point where those projects won't wait much longer without causing significant cost, both personally and financially.
We want to offer our heartfelt thanks to you for your support over the last 8 (yes, 8!!) years in business. We are tremendously grateful for your patronage and friendship over this time. Thank you!
Mike & Christina

This online platform provides important digital training tools to help California's existing small businesses become more successful, and we expect it to help promote entrepreneurship and new businesses in communities of high unemployment.
(PRWEB) February 25, 2013
California Resources and Training (CARAT) today announces a new online training and networking resource available free to the state's small business owners. By logging on to http://www.caratnet.org small business owners can gain access to free OnDemand Webinar Videos that offer courses on a range of topics, including e-marketing, website development, e-commerce, social media, online communications, financial management, and e-procurement.
For example, the social media webinar will teach small businesses the importance and the execution of social media. The key to a robust, successful social media strategy is to build a relationship with your customer through frequent interaction. Social media is not used for selling, but relationship development and engagement.
"Small businesses are the backbone of California's economy. CARAT's mission is to promote community and economic development by helping these businesses grow and thrive, especially in underserved low-income, rural and urban communities," said CARAT Executive Director Selma Taylor.
A Small Business Administration report just released this month shows California small businesses employ 51% of the state's workforce. Most employ fewer than 20 people. Self-employment has surged in the last decade, with self-employed minorities growing 36.5% between 2000 and 2010, double the state's overall self-employment growth rate.
"This online platform provides important digital training tools to help California's existing small businesses become more successful, and we expect it to help promote entrepreneurship and new businesses in communities of high unemployment," said Taylor.
CARAT works statewide in conjunction with 10 collaborative partners: Alameda County SBDC, Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program, Contra Costa County SBDC, California Capital FDC, California State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Coachella Valley Women's Business Center, Inland Empire Women's Business Center, Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles, and Manchester Community Technologies to offer technology-based training focusing on job creation and broadband adoption. CARAT receives funding from the California Emerging Technology Fund and other major funders such as Bank of America, Union Bank, and Wells Fargo. The online webinar platform will augment this work.
California Resources and Training (CARAT) is a private non-profit founded in 1994 to integrate and build technical assistance for small businesses throughout California and create relationships with lending institutions to promote economic development in low-income urban and rural communities. CARAT's mission is to expand business assistance and digital training to California small businesses.

What is the Box ?
The BOX is a real life escape game where teams of three up to six players have to find and follow clues, solve puzzles and escape from a locked room using only logic and the power of teamwork. We encourage you to think outside the box! Rely on your brains and intuition. Discover the secrets that await you. Do not forget: the mind is the most powerful weapon.
Who is live escape game for?
Live escape game is fun for all: friends, colleagues, families, you name it! If you are looking for an alternative entertainment, something other than the usual bars, movies and the like, then live escape game is a sure bet. Come and check it out.
Why the box ?
How many people can play the game?
We designed our games for 3-6 people. But be aware, the difficulty depends on the number of the players. 6 people might be a little to overcrowded. If the team get stuck, we can help them, so 2 people probably will get more clues.
How long will the experience last?
You will spend around 60 minutes in the room (the maximum given time), however, a short briefing will be made before the game and we would love if, after your escape, you could share your experience with us while we take your photo. Please arrive on time. In case you are running late, please let us know.
Is there a specific age limit for team members?
In general there is no age limit, nevertheless, we found that the ideal group age is above 14. You are naturally welcome to bring along younger kids, but in this we case we need at least 1 team member to be older than 21, and we advise that the youngest member is at least 12 years old.
All this is fine, but I want to know more!
So, we´ll tell you more…
Each room escape is a mission: In the Museum Box your team will have to steal the golden brick and escape from the police in less than an hour and in The Haunted Box you will have to escape from the wrath of the evil spirit that resides in that haunted place. And, in the near future in The Temple Box your team will have to enter the ancient Mayan temple and find the lost treasure.
To accomplish the mission, your team will have to use observation skills, to find the clues, the logic in order to solve the riddles and all that working as a team.
Why as a team? I´m quite smart, I´m sure I could do it alone!
Sure you could, but our games are designed in a way that to escape you will need different skills and it would be highly unlikely that one person can do everything alone. Apart from pure logic, it requires skills such as lateral thinking, observation ad even being handy, so a team of 4 or 5 players would have better chances to accomplish he mission and it would be much more fun to share this experience with your friends.
Are we really locked inside?
No. You may exit the room whenever you want although we wouldn´t recommend it. Right next to the door there is an emergency button that unblocks the door without having to solve any riddles.
Are we alone?
Yes. In the room you will be playing only with your friends. Nobody else can enter during the game.
And if we need help?
This is why you have a Game-Master dedicated at your game. He or she will be always watching the game through cctv and if at any moment you get stuck he or she will help you with a hint. You don´t need to ask for hints because the Game-Master knows how the game goes and if you go slow he or she will make sure that you don´t lose too much time but you may also ask for hints at any moment if you want.
CCTV, Are you recording us?
No. Our system only works live and to make sure that no-one can record we have removed the hard-drives, so don´t worry about that.
Are there things that we can not touch?
No. Our games are designed so that the players can touch and manipulate all the elements in the room. Of course not everything is part of a riddle, there are decorative items as well as items that are there to facilitate the game such as a blackboard to take notes or the remote control of the air-condition to make sure you have the temperature you like but your Game-Master will explain everything before the game.
So… Do we have to come early to talk with the Game-Master?
No. You should come at the time of your reservation. We have taken into account the time needed for the briefing before and for commenting the game after. It is very important that you are punctual because if you come too early you may meet the previous team at the door and in hat case it´s possible that they will give you spoilers. And if you arrive late you could be the ones to do the spoilers to the next team. For this we ask for punctuality and that you don´t arrive more than 5 minutes early.
Is there a bathroom?
Yes. And before you start the game we will ask if anyone wants to use it to make sure we will have no interruptions during the game.
Is there air-conditioning and heating in the rooms?
Of course. We intent to ave an optimal temperature in our rooms so that the brains can operate at full capacity!
Are there fake clues?
No. there are no fake clues in our games to make you lose time. Nevertheless there are decorative items that are not part of any riddle, but part of the game is to distinguish the clues.
Can I use physical strength?
No, absolutely not. If something doesn´t move easily you don´t need to use brute force, you will only need you mental strength. If at any moment you wonder if you have to break of force something the answer will always be NO. Keep in mind that there will be another team playing after you and they will need all the items to accomplish the mission.
I like to run, jump, etc… May I?
We are sorry but no. This is not a game of physical activity, it is a mental challenge.
And If we don´t succeed?
It depends on the mission…
If the police gets you before you manage to steal the golden brick then surely escaping from jail will be an easy task with the experience you will have obtain in The Museum Box.
And if you don´t escape from the Haunted Box… the truth is that we don´t know. We listen to screams at night coming from inside but we never dare to enter!
In the case of the Temple things are simpler since our pilot will wait to bring you back no matter what but it will be a shame if you don´t retrieve the treasure…
We are a team of 8 fiends (or more) Can we play all together?
Unfortunately no. The number of players in each room is planned according to the puzzles and space available and it is very important to respect it. If you are 8 people or more you can book more than one game and play at the same time. Although the games are different we have a point system that takes into account the difficulty, the time, the hints and the number of players so that you can have a fair competition.
Can we play with kids?
Of course. Although our games are designed for adults all kids are welcome. It is possible that depending on their age maybe they will not understand all the riddles but they will have fun nevertheless. Kids less than 10 years old enter free of charge in our rooms but there can be no more than 2 kids that young because it will affect the flow of the game.
Can kids play alone?
It depends on their age.
Kids between 13 and 15 years old have to be acompanied by an adult at least 21 years old.
Minors older than 16 years old can play alone without any problem.
We are currently implementing an alternative version of The Museum Box for kids between 10 and 15 years old but we haven´t tested it sufficiently yet. Once ready we will announce it to our page and social networks.
One of our friends is pregnant. Can she play?
Of course. Our games don´t require any physical activity so there will be no problem. It is true that there are moments of tension during the games that the adrenaline rises and because of that we will advise your friend and only her before the game so that she will not get too emotional but that´s all.
Not everybody in my team can speak English. Will they be able to play?
Our games do not require any language skills so that everybody can participate. It is necessary though to have at least one member in the team that can speak Spanish or English so that you can communicate with your Game-Master.
Sounds great! How can I book?
It is very easy: find at the calendar the game you prefer at the time that you want and follow the steps to complete your booking. We will ask for your name, your telephone number and an email so that we can send you the confirmation of your booking. The number of players can be changed without any previous notice and the payment can be made in cash or with card after the game according to the number of players.
And how much does it cost?
The price depends on the umber of players. Under the Booking Calendar you will find the prices of our games and our offers.
And if something happens and we need to cancel?
No problem. We only ask that you let us know as soon as possible. We are one of te few escape-rooms that don´t ask for a deposit when you make a booking so it will cost you nothing to cancel but please let us know as soon as possible because for sure there is a team out there who would like to play and we also feel very bad when we are all ready waiting eagerly for the next game and the team doesn´t show up. It will be our pleasure to have you play with us on another occasion.
I still have some doubts, what should I do?
Contact us and it will be our pleasure to clarify any doubts you may have.

Hello and welcome back! Too cheesy? So, (I say so way too much) although I said I would do a part 2 NYR post, I'v decided I against it. One, because, well its the 16th January so it's not exactly New Year anymore, and two, because its kind of like a post talking about a few things I want to 'start doing more of/do' throughout 2014. I suppose to put it simply, my aims within beauty, and blogging for 2014.
So, getting straight on with it because I think it is going to be quite full on.
Ok so first up. My number one aim that I have been trying out throughout January, or starting to do is having a full on skincare routine. And when I say full on, I mean, one brand, and a range of all products you should have for your skin. It's something I have always aimed to do, but usually just make do with my typical 3-4 step routine- Cleanse/Tone/Moisturise & Exfoliate. I tend to switch up my products a lot as I like trying new things but as the core of my cleansing routine I would like to stick to one brand so that I have some good groundwork in there.
Who's the lucky brand?- And a little info on the range...
So after a lot of research-reading product reviews/finding out about the range and speaking to the skincare consultants, the range I have chosen to pursue is Origins. I have heard so many great things from this brand, and love the fact that the range combines 100% all natural oils and their products are all derived from plants and organic ingredients. I decided to speak directly with the consultant- Mandy who was absolutely wonderful and so helpful so thank you Mandy at Colchester Debenhams if you are reading this! We discussed my major skin concerns which were dehydration and sensitivity. Origins have lots of different ranges that cater specifically to your skin type so if you're interested in the range then its definitely worth seeing someone at the counter to find out which range is best for you because they can all overlap and become quite overwhelming! The range best for me, was the MAD (Make a difference range). Har Har I no, what a perfect match. I started off with the moisturiser, £34 here and was given testers for their exfoliator (I think their is only one specific one), the ultra rich moisturiser (to apply at night time), the serum and the eye cream. I will write a full post on the moisturiser because there's so many great things to talk about in it so I will definitely let you all know when that will be up!
My aim is to eventually purchase the cleanser, toner, exfoliator, rejuvinating serum, eye cream and drink up hydration mask. All products can be found on their website here. Oh and they have just bought out some new brightening products within the Dr Weils range which is suitable for all skin types! Exciting stuff! Family and friends reading this, don't forget my birthday is in 5 weeks, just saying!
Next! Photography. I really need to start taking more photos for my blog. I am very self concious as I talked about within my last post which you can find here, but i'm getting the point now where I feel that there is so much more I want to explore on my blog and write and being able to visualise something is so much better! I would love to eventually start a YouTube channel but I mean hey. Baby steps. I love watching other peoples channels so much and always get the urge to jump up and film a video as I am bursting with ideas!! Its just that pesky confidence thing. So yep I have purchased my first tripod, so look out for some makeup 'how to' posts where I am going to start creating some really different makeup looks, and show you how to get them!
And lastly, being blog organised. I am very organised as it is for example, I have created a spreadsheet listing every week up until my dissertation hand in date and noted down and colour coded what I need to have completed by when, and when it is completed then it gets coloured in! You might think yeah everyone does that. But oh, theres more. Much more. I converted the same spreadsheet minus the dates into a word document, and yes more colour coding! I'm going to stop there before you think ok this girl is slightly crazy. Although I am very organised with my blog in the sense that I write down all my draft posts as soon as I get an idea, I write out in my notebook which posts I am going to do next like the next 5 or 10, but I'm not uploading organised. Being in my final year of my degree, blogging much to my dismay has had to come second. The annoyance of prioritising hay! So I think for me to ensure I take a break from my actual work I HAVE to do, and keep my blog continuous, i'm going to start a schedule so you guys know when to look out for new posts going up! It also then becomes kind of like a ritual :)
I would like to venture into more lifestyle posts too even if they are little random ones. I love writing posts about my travels and holidays, but I think the little things are nice too. I really appreciate getting to know bloggers/Vloggers/YouTubers on that personal level as well and I think when you have a blog, it so nice to give your readers that little something extra especially when you're so loyal!
So thats kind of only 3 points but I thought I'd just share it with you all! With my new 'How To' series coming up, if you have any ideas of makeup looks that you want to try whether its a red lip or a really smokey eye, or you have an event you want unique makeup for or even just a look-a-like look then please just let me know. Also if you have particular products at home that you want to use but just don't know how to or how to style them please do just let me know!
I have high hopes for 2014, some really great things have already happened and I have lots of things already to look forward to! How has 2014 been treating you so far?

Bulls acquire forward Nikola Mirotic
Chicago completes draft-night deal with Minnesota
June 24, 2011 -- The Chicago Bulls acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves the 23rd pick (Nikola Mirotic, Montenegro) of the 2011 NBA Draft. In exchange, the Bulls conveyed the 28th pick (Norris Cole, Cleveland State) and 43rd pick (Malcolm Lee, UCLA) of the Draft, as well as cash. Minnesota had acquired the 23rd pick from the Houston Rockets in an earlier Draft-related trade.
Nikola Mirotic (KNEE-coh-lah ME-row-titch), a 6-10, 220-pound forward, spent the 2010-11 season with Real Madrid's senior team. The 20-year old native of Podgorica, Montenegro appeared in 27 contests, and averaged 7.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 0.60 spg in 16.1 mpg, and he shot .415 from behind the arc. An early-entry candidate for the 2011 NBA Draft, Mirotec played for Joker School Podgorica Academy in his native Montenegro from 2004-06, before he joined Real Madrid's junior squad in 2006. Most recently, he was the recipient of the 2010-11 Euroleague Rising Star award for the best player under 23 years of age.
Cole, a 6-2, 170-pound guard, completed his collegiate career as the school leader in games played (140), consecutive starts (105), minutes played (4,114), and third in Cleveland State history in points scored (1,978). This past season, he was named Horizon League Player of the Year, as well as Defensive Player of the Year, when he posted averages of 21.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 5.3 apg and 2.20 spg. In four years with the Vikings, he played in 140 games and posted 14.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.2 apg, 1.50 spg and 29.4 mpg.
Lee, 6-5, 200 pounds, was an early-entry candidate for the 2011 NBA Draft. As a junior, he earned First Team All-Pac 10 and Pac-10 All-Defensive Team honors. On the season, he averaged 13.1 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.0 apg and 33.1 mpg in 33 games. He appeared in 94 games during his three-year career with the Bruins, and averaged 9.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 2.0 apg and 26.7 mpg.

We Become What We Believe In
I was meeting with a friend this morning. As we ate breakfast we were talking about how we become who God wants us to be. We had been reading through Colossians and we came to the end of chapter three. That is where Paul says this.
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:12-17, ESV)
In verses 12-13 we find the attributes of who we are supposed to be. We cannot just do these things. Something has to change inside of us so that we can become people who live like this. But in the next four verses we find that there are at least four things that can do, that God will use to transform us so we more closely reflect Christ. We have to "put on love," "be thankful," "let the word of Christ dwell in [me] richly," "do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus." If we do these things, God promises that we will see a change within us. Continue reading The Two Questions That Will Destroy Your Faith

I visited Philadelphia yesterday. We have a visitor, and we wanted her to see the Magic Gardens. I dig Magic Gardens for a variety of reasons. One is because it's where Lieve and I were married.
Magic Gardens is hard to explain. It's a gallery for the art of Isaiah Zagar. It is the art of Isaiah Zagar. In some ways, it is Isaiah Zagar.
Isaiah's presence can be seen throughout the gallery, the ever present derby shows up in figures both recognizable and not. There is a small indoor gallery, in which smaller pieces and work by other artists is displayed, but the marvel is a 3,000 square foot multilevel sculpted space, covered with his signature style mosaics.
You see his work all over Philadelphia, sometimes just little bits, sometimes an entire wall, particularly on South Street. You know South street, even if you've never been to Philly.
South street remains "where all the hippies meet". It has been a counter culture center since the sixties, when Isaiah first arrived. It was the place the punks hung out in the eighties, stores like "Zipperhead" and "Skinz" were the place to find clothes, and clubs like JC Dobbs and Theatre of the Living Arts had the latest music. Music was everywhere, it wasn't uncommon for a band to plug into a store for power and play on the street. Then came Mayor John Street. There is nothing that I can write about his regime that is both accurate and suitable for all ages other than he made Rizzo look like a flower child. You may not know that Tony Hawk's video game was based on a real place, because Mayor Street banned skateboarding in the place responsible for bringing the X-Games to Philly. Music in the street was obviously not part of Street's vision of Philadelphia. Apparently he never met Martha Reese OR The Vandellas.
Isaiah had a studio next to a vacant lot at 1022-1026 South street, and in the nineties used the lot to create a garden. When the owners of the property decided in 2002 to sell it, the community banded together, formed a non profit group, and purchased the land, saving Isaiah's work and creating Philadelphia's Magic Gardens.
Isaiah can often be found at the gardens, he was there the day we married. A petal fell from the rose on my lapel, and he handed it to me saying "I think this is yours" with the cutest smile. I invited him to join us, but he was busy with other things. We stopped by the spot where we married, it seemed much smaller than I remember. And warmer. The day of our wedding the air temperature was about thirty five degrees Fahrenheit, with a brisk breeze. There had been other people in the area, and I told them we were performing a wedding ceremony and they were welcome to stay. Our ceremony was in the Quaker tradition, unique to Pennsylvania. No officiator is required other than two adult witnesses, so two of our friends, and Lieve's children, stood by and took pictures while we made our vows. As you can see in the video, it took just over a minute.
A friend found several of Isaiah's sculptures in the woods one day. No signs or anything. I recognized the style but he still believes there's a different kind of magic there, so he won't reveal the location. Magicians can be like that.
After we visited the gardens, we took our visitor on a tour of South Philly, seeing more of Isaiah's work scattered about, the neighborhood where I had lived, and lunch at Marra's to complete the experience. We picked up cheesecake.
Last week, when we went to the Punk Rock Flea Market, I felt a little sad. Some punks haven't aged well, but they're keeping the spirit alive. When I came home from Philly, I saw that Courtney Love is playing the Theatre for the Living Arts in June. I bought tickets immediately.

Alimony (also commonly known as spousal maintenance or spousal support) was not even recognized under Georgia law prior to 1980. The Divorce Code of 1980 provides that alimony may be awarded by a court in its discretion "if it finds that alimony is necessary."
Alimony in Georgia is not a remedy that is construed as broadly as it is in many other states, and it is far from being routinely awarded. There are no actual guidelines to determine its eligibility, nor a formula upon which a court relies to calculate a precise amount.
If a court determines that alimony should be granted, its award will be guided by factors that are enumerated by state statute and that include:
• The length of the marriage
• The income and financial resources of each party
• The ages of the parties, and their physical and emotional conditions
• The education level of each party
• The standard of living during the marriage
Where alimony is a concern, and especially because it is discretionary with a judge and there are no specific guidelines for determining eligibility, a party might reasonably wish to secure the assistance of an experienced family law attorney.

Raiding on Kilrogg EU, Horde
As of December 2012 we have moved from Runetotem to Kilrogg. Site updates still need to be done to reflect this.
CoH Website & Forums: coheu.guildlaunch.com
CoH on Twitter: www.twitter.com/cohrunetotemeu
The Highlights
- Established 2007. Raiding, achievements and a good guild chat.
- 10 man raiding. Wed/Sat/Sun 18.00-20:30 (GMT+1). Optional raid other days usually.
- Progression focus, but with a view to balance raiding with life.
- Preference for 18+ members, although exceptions have been made.
- We value dedication, friendlyness and a serious attitude to raiding.
Our Ethos
We are primarily a guild for 18+ raiders who enjoy a strong non-raiding social aspect too. We like people who are active - but you don't need to log on every hour. We like people who make a full commitment to the guild and think of the guild as a family rather than a loose alliance of convenience.
We like people who take a serious attitude to raiding - and can raid with us 2 or 3 times a week. We like people who aren't scared of guild chat and aren't scared of being a vocal member of the guild inside and outside of raids.
We understand people have RL things to deal with - sometime at last minute on a raid night - and we respect that. We understand people need a break from time to time - we also respect that.
We don't like people who don't know what gear they need to raid. We don't like people who expect a free ride to raid epics. We don't like people who lurk and never say hi in guild. We don't like inmature behaviour and we don't like anything that negatively impacts our reputation on the server.
We run three main (progression) raid nights per week. Wed/Sat/Sun 18.00-20:30 server time. We raid as late as we can hold enough people online for - but 20:30 is the standard end time.
We raid in a serious manner - as we want to maximise the raiding we get done in our raiding slots. Turning up on time (at the instance ready to raid 17:50 server time), bringing pots & flasks, gemming/enchanting gear, understanding bosses before the raid and running the Vent/raid addon's are all expected - and the people that do this thrive in our guild.
Looting is via Loot Council - rewarding our players based on overall contributions to the guild and raiding rather than rolls (random) or DKP (same result as loot council but more admin). Our loot council rules are documented .... (link to be added here soon).l
The general rule inside the guild is for no pugging of raids - unless we are at a higher progression level. Flex can be pugged whenever u want to, however u may only pug other raid bosses if there already has been a group in the guild that killed them. We are more flexible on alt's pugging - if they are not actively required for guild raiding.

A decade after its last installment, the Men in Black series continues to display gifts for a small number of memorable aspects that make it stand out from other summer CGI spectacles. One is its creative creature design, to which the series has always paid more attention than Transformers did to robots or Spider Man did to its villains; another, the consistent casting of talented oddballs as the bad guys. In the first movie of the series, Vincent D'Onofrio played Edgar Bug, a humanoid cockroach with an epidermis like a tattered bedsheet; in the second, Lara Flynn Boyle played Serleena, a leafy alien queen; and here, Jemaine Clement (whose star hadn't yet risen when the last installment was released) plays Boris the Animal, an alien assassin (also known as an "interstellar serial killer") with skittering insects constantly clambering from pussy orifices located all over his body. Boris is the best, most disgusting Men in Black villain yet, and thus the perfect marriage of the two things the series gets right.
Now, about what Men in Black 3 gets wrong. The plot makes tragically little use of Tommy Lee Jones (who plays Agent K), who was instrumental in the first two films for his natural ability to dilute the uber-ego of Will Smith. His character is ushered out of this story early by way of having his existence erased, making way for Smith's Agent J to take stages center, left, and right. The film attempts to run off Smith's star power alone during any period in which it's not immediately concerned with a CGI action sequence. Smith is smarmy and grating if you focus on him too intently, but he's also the reason the film gained its green light and huge budget, so what are you doing at Men in Black 3 if you don't like Will Smith? Oh, right: looking for cleverly designed aliens. Well it's Boris the Animal, after discovering a gadget that allows him to travel through time, who erases Agent K in the distant past. In order to pencil him back in, Agent J must travel back to 1969 and navigate a series of elaborate set pieces mixed with 60s jokes in order to rewrite history.
This necessitates teaming up with a younger version of K, played as a laconic G-man by Josh Brolin, one of the best actors in American movies today (hopefully taking home a big check from this one so that he can pay his bills for a few years while he does some actual acting). J and young K move through seemingly endless alternative spaces and times — aided by a "5th dimensional being" (Michael Stuhlbarg) who is conveniently able to see all realities at once — stopping long enough for extended jokes on Andy Warhol's supposed lack of talent, the casual racism of the late 60s, and a Transformers-ish play on the real reason for the moon launch.
The movie makes a near-science out of niftily distracting from logic issues with its reliably bubble-shaped mise-en-scène, moldy cotton candy color scheme, and the fact that it's all meant to be a big joke anyway. But the lingering question, after the film's over and you've shaken off Will Smith's unflappable sass, is: a joke about what? The nature of chance? The necessity of believing in predestination? The cultural differences between 1969 and 2012? Between aliens and humans? On the fact that movies now can be more garish than fashion in the 60s?
The joke's about all of these things, but trying to read anything more into this film will get you stuck in a loop from which the only exit is: $$$. The film cost 375 million goddamn dollars — apparent in its achingly gaudy sets and check-me-out special effects — and it needs to please a hell of a lot of people to make that back. But amazingly, if you leave aside a whole bunch of creative design in the CGI-alien realm, there are few eye-grabbing moments. It's the most expensive movie ever made that banks on a cache of (admittedly clever) jokes and the personality of Will Smith (who, as the biggest box office draw of all time, goes a long way).
This is a comedy — and not a bad one — dressed up as a mega-blockbuster, and that's the problem. The jokes are mainly verbal, and they succeed because of inexpensive things: Smith's swift delivery and impeccably groomed sarcasm; Josh Brolin's delicately balanced young-Tommy Lee Jones impression as an impenetrable rock of a man who simultaneously can't hide his real feelings. But the loud sets and the even louder CGI that cost so damn much aren't trying to support these jokes; it's the other way around.

Is there a way, when making a control chart (not using control chart builder) to get the "Sample Label" sorted according to the Value Ordering assigned to that column? Every time I try it, even if there is a value order assigned to the column, the control chart will display the data in the order it appears in the table, which is frustrating if you want to use the manual control chart rather than control chart builder (the process capability appears differently depending on whether you're using regular control charts vs control chart builder), but you have a lot of data that you don't want to manually reorder in the table.
I also want to use a regular control chart w/o control chart builder because I don't want the "Moving Range" chart, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it with control chart builder.
In Control Chart Builder in order to remove the Moving Range Chart you just have to drag the X-axis and drag it off the drop zone.
Hmm, well I can't drag and drop the X-axis, but I am able to remove that chart by right clicking on the y-axis label for it. When I remove the moving range chart, it also removes the capability analysis, which I did want. Do you need to show the one to have the other?
It's a bit tricky. I should have stated to drag the X-variable and not the X-axis.
I too lose the capability report when I remove it.
The old control chart platforms do no sorting whatsoever on the x variable. Since no sorting is done, the Value Ordering property does not make any sense in this context. Control charts are essentially time series data. JMP assumes that your data has been entered according to this so-called time variable. For the old control chart platforms, you will need to sort your data the way you want it to appear prior to creating the chart.
With the addition of the Control Chart Builder, platform, JMP will now sort the x-axis for you. Value Ordering will now apply in the Control Chart Builder platform. The issue that you mention about the capability analysis disappearing when the Moving Range chart is removed has been fixed for Version 13 of JMP. In the meantime, you can use the preference, Show Two Shewhart Charts (make sure this is not checked) and when you create your IR chart, the capability analysis will remain.

Hot Chip has made a new EP available online. It's a collaboration with Robert Wyatt and Geese. The songs are reinterpretations off Made in the Dark. Nothing drastically different really, but nice for the Hot Chip completist.
You can sign up here and get the first free mp3 "Made in the Dark" then they send you a link to download the other, "We're Looking for a Lot of Love" via your own e-mail. Cool!!
Blogger has taken down two of my last posts. It's really frustrating because there's a lot of good stuff I wanna share but they take it down. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? I don't know what to do about it and it's kinda depressing.

Finance Minister Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) spoke at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Monday about the peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the "enormous impact" the talks could have on the Israeli economy.
According to Lapid, there is an "ongoing attempt to dissolve and inhibit" the peace process - and he is determined to prevent it.
"If the Israeli left and the Israeli right keep saying that 'nothing will come of [the talks],' then a self-fulfilling prophecy will result and instead of approaching the talks wholeheartedly, both sides will continue to sit and gain points for the blame game that will be conducted after everything collapses," Lapid predicted.
"I will not let anyone ruin the chance of an agreement," Lapid continued. "This is real, this applies now, this is not easy but we can make it happen."
Lapid blamed the PA primarily for the failure in talks, but he also stressed the importance of taking responsibility for Israel's role in how events proceed.
"We must make every effort to reach an agreement, because the current situation endangers Israel's future," he insisted. "It endangers us because Israel is unable to, and cannot, absorb four million Palestinians. If we want to remain a Jewish state, we must separate from them."
"It is threatening us because it causes increasing damage - economic and political - in our relationship with the US and the world," he continued. "Every week that passes without progress in negotiations endangers the stability of the government."
"The agenda of this coalition is very clear," Lapid said. "The Prime Minister sat down on the first day of the coalition [. . .] and said that we are going to start the peace process according to the two-state solution."
"Then, he repeated that in the Knesset, he repeated that in the UN, he repeated that in the White House, he actually repeated that almost every time he saw a microphone," Lapid continued. "Yesh Atid is...a legion of 19 spears that is protecting this agenda."
Lapid opined that the Israeli populace would support a peace deal if the government reached such a deal, adding that "this is a very proactive government that I think should keep working with the same partners."
Asked about the PA's demands in negotiations, Lapid noted that it was agreed early on that US Secretary of State John Kerry would be the only person speaking to the media about the talks' progress. However, he did say that the PA knows full well that Israel will always refuse to yield responsibility for its security to international powers.
However, Lapid has recently voiced support for Kerry's peace plan and brushed aside security concerns that have been expressed by other Israeli officials - a move which has garnered praise from Kerry for his "bravery."
Earlier this month, in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, Lapid declared that if the peace talks with the PA fail, Israel's economy will be hurt, countering recent comments by Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, who said that a Palestinian state will crush the Israeli economy.
He has also previously said that Kerry's plan would allow Israel to get a "fair divorce from the Palestinians" and has dismissed concerns that a state would pave the way for a barrage of rockets on Israel, as claimed by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon.

This is based on a comment I made here.
One of the striking questions about the American Revolution is why the Canadian colonies did not join in the revolt against the British Crown, as they suffered as much "no taxation without representation" as did the colonies further South.
A plausible explanation is that they did not care about the implications of Somersett's Case, as slavery was not significant, their population was too low for serious land-hunger, so they did not care about the Royal Proclamation of 1763 protecting Amerindian land, and the division between British and French colonists gave the British Crown a useful role as mediator and protector.
By contrast, the colonies further South did have slaves in significant numbers, did want to grab Amerindian land and did not feel territorially threatened after the smashing British victory in North America in the Seven Years War. So their lack of say in British decisions mattered much more for them and they did not feel they needed British Imperial forces anymore. A judgement summed up brilliantly in the slogan "no taxation without representation"; code for, "we do not get a say in decisions which matter for us, so the Imperial deal does not work for us anymore".
The (slave) colonies, further South in the Caribbean, still felt territorially threatened, so the Imperial deal was still working for them, so they did not revolt.
This analysis also makes the American Civil War very much a continuation of the above. North and South were in dispute over expanding into Amerindian land and the South wanted to protect slavery. So, the American Union deal was no longer working for the South, so they seceded from the Union just as the original 13 colonies had seceded from the British Crown. When the South claimed it was just re-doing the American Revolution, they had a point.
But not as much of one as they liked to claim. After all, they had plenty of representation in the United States. The Southern Revolt was a re-run of the American Revolution, just without the bits that gave the American War of Independence far more resonance than a squabble over keeping slaves and stealing land. On the contrary, where the American Revolt had had the US Declaration of Independence, the writings of Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry's Give me liberty or give me death speech, it was the Northern cause which produced the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, major contributions to the formulation of modern political democracy.
There are some unlovely themes in American history, but that is far from all there is.

Neuroscience occupies a unique position as one of the most
interdisciplinary fields of today. A successful neuroscientist is
expected to be proficient in aspects of engineering, biology, physics,
psychology and statistics. While interactions between so many experts
presents unique opportunities for progress, it also poses certain
challenges. In the second instantiation of the European Neuroscience
Conference by Doctoral Students (ENCODS), our aim is to provide graduate
students with the tools to overcome these challenges. Our approach is
threefold. First, we seek to invite a stellar team of scientists who can
lead by example and show how they have successfully bridged multiple
fields in their own work. Second, by having an unconventional and
progressive program with a focus on fostering interactions through
workshops, group work and discussion, we hope that every single
participant will walk away from the conference with an array of new
contacts that will remain collaborators and influences throughout their
careers. Third, in addition to scientific content, we will train the
"softer" side of science to improve participants' presentation and
writing skills, to ensure that they can communicate effectively across
lines of expertise. The meeting will take place against the backdrop of
the Atlantic Coast in Portugal, in a retreat-like fashion, to further
nurture the formation of lasting ties.
Sensation, perception, memory and behaviour are all functions of the brain that are encoded in the neuronal network, determined by the connections that all neurons form (the connectome) as well as the activity of each neuron as an individual and as part of a larger ensemble. Deciphering the brain's neuronal code in health and disease is one of the great challenges for the 21st century and maybe beyond. For decoding the brain a wide variety of different approaches promise crucial insights. Linking the knowledge gained in the different research domains is yet difficult and requires an intermediate platform.
The central aim of the European Neuroscience Conference by Doctoral Students (ENCODS) is to share current research in a variety of neuroscience fields in the form of lectures, presentations, discussions and posters. Special focus of the ENCODS is placed on PhD students learning how to present their results and discuss them within a wider scientific community.
The purpose of the ENCODS conference is not only to improve the understanding of current research but more importantly to look into the future by asking what needs to be done in the field next. To this end, the ENCODS conference has three main scientific aims:
Offer doctorate students from Europe the opportunity to participate in
a scientific exchange that will suit their needs more than a
large-scale event
2. To encourage the dialogue between scientists representing different domains of neuroscience
3. Discuss where we are in Neuroscience today and what the future challenges are
The ENCODS is held bi-annually at a
different host institute each time by a new group of PhD students
providing a continuous opportunity for PhDs for their training,
scientific exchange and fostering international collaborations already
at an early stage of the career.

Space Brothers episode 73
Okay, here's the deal; I am tired from working, driving and spending time with my family. This day has been a pain in my near-perfect ass and I want to put it behind me. I had no time to schedule this post so I'll just write this out and post it right away. I am keeping it short and simple again.
Sharon is still dying, Hibito is still frightened and might lost his job as an astronaut, but let's get to the interesting part; Mutta has come up with a way to improve the moon buggies for saver moon travel. Bust out your blow horns and hang out the flags, because Mutta did it again! Quite predictable even though the method he came up with was quite interesting.
We, too, have been hearing a lot about similar technology; glasses that allow you to see as though you were living your life through a monitor. This, in theory at least, should help astronauts navigate on the moon and help them avoid craters and whatnot. The guy wants to build a GPS system for the moon buggies, how nice!

Project Abstract:
Organizations, Stalls and Sodexho are connected by using tokens to perform commercial transactions. Administrator (SODEXHO) registers the tokens, companies and Stalls to manage the tasks. Companies manage the employee list to whom the tokens available with the companies are issued. Employees move the tokens into the hands of the Stalls against the required goods.
Overall Description :
Product Perspective :
The Sodexho Passes Management System application deals with Sodexho passes where they are maintained by an organization which distributes them to the companies which in turn distribute the tokens to their employees. The Employees can use these tokens for shopping in the specified stalls against their purchase of goods.
The Sodexho Passes Application contain features of SODEXHO maintaining the information about the possessing tokens, companies and stalls using the tokens. The Tokens are issued to the companies against their payments. The tokens assigned to the companies are re-distributed or assigned to the employees of those companies. The Stall list where the tokens can be used are provided. The Employees can use these tokens in the respective stalls against their purchase of goods.
Finally, the stalls return the collected tokens to the Sodexho to get back their amount back. Similarly the companies pay the amounts for the assigned tokens.
This transaction of use of tokens help banks in retaining the amounts in them which stops rotation of money in the market which is a good sign to improve the market standards.
Product Functions :
• Provide integration between the Sodexho, Companies and Stalls.
• Token, Company and Stall registration is done by the Sodexho.
• Tokens information with various denominations are maintained.
• Employee registration is maintained by the companies who are actually going to use the tokens.
• Tokens play the major role in the Application as they travel from one hand to the other in the entire Web Site.
• Token, Company and Stall registration is done by the Sodexho.
• Tokens information with various denominations are maintained.
• Employee registration is maintained by the companies who are actually going to use the tokens.
• Tokens play the major role in the Application as they travel from one hand to the other in the entire Web Site.
User Classes and Characteristics :
Used by Organizations who like to host their websites. Individuals or organizations who wants to avail email-ids on their servers. Used by ISP to track their customers.
In the present scenario the tokens are used very rarely in the market. Many companies and stalls are not at front to use them in their commercial activities. Even though these token systems are used in some areas they lack security. One can use the others tokens and the stalls are not maintaining any security regarding the reference of the used tokens.
Problem with existing system :
1. The Sodexho Passes system performance depends upon manually efficiency.
2. Customers are forced to use cash transactions using currency only.
3. Increases the usage of money in the market i.e. increases the circulation of currency in the market.
4. Maintenance of other commercial activities by the banks become critical when the money is not available in the banks.

• Login & Security
• Administrator (SODEXHO) Module
• Company Module
• Stalls Module
• Administrator (SODEXHO) Module
• Company Module
• Stalls Module
This is an Online Sodexho Passes Application designed to perform or manage the transactions of the SODEXHO which handle the commercial transactions using the TOKEN system instead of direct CASH. The flow of the tokens available at the SODEXHO represents the transfer of goods or cash in reverse direction.
SODEXHO is the central Module which maintains a list of tokens, issuing the tokens to various companies, accepting and payment of bills from companies and Stalls. The Companies on receiving the tokens from the Sodexho can issue them to their employs who can inturn use them in the specified stall list for purchasing transactions. The tokens received by the Stalls are sent to the Sodexho for the payments of the equivalent amount. Sodexho receives the payments from the Company for the issued Tokens.
The Project Sodexho Passes Management System SPMS has been split into 5 modules namely – LOGIN, SODEXHO, COMPANY, STALLS and the EMPLOYEE.
LOGIN Module :
This Module represents the Login page using which all the authorized members can login by entering their appropriate User Name and Passwords. On Validation of the entered username and password the appropriate Page is opened. Validations are made for the Non-entry or invalid username and password entries.
SODEXHO Module :
This Module is designed to handle the transactions that are to be performed by the SODEXHO members. They can perform the tasks like maintaining the token list where each token is represented by a token id, Denomination and their count. Each token is represented by a unique Auto generated Token Id. These token data values can be altered, viewed and deleted before they are issued to any Company. They also keep track of the issued tokens to the companies.
This Module facilitates to maintain the list of Stalls in which the tokens can be exchanged for the goods or the stalls in which these tokens are valid. New Stalls can be added, already available stalls can be modified or deleted from the list. Each stall is assigned with a unique stall id.
Payments can be handled for the issued tokens from the companies and can be paid to the stalls on returning the tokens received by them from the employee.
COMPANY Module :
This module represents the company which takes the required tokens of various denominations from the Sodexho and issues them to their employees. It also maintains the list of employees like adding the new employee where each employee is identified by a unique auto generated number. Data of the already available employee records can be altered or viewed or deleted.
There is an option to Issue the tokens of the specified denominations as per the requirement of the employee. An employee can choose the tokens of required denominations and specify the number of tokens. On issuing the tokens the starting and ending numbers of the issued token ids are stored into a table along with the employee id.
Company can view the Paid and Pending Bills that are to be paid to the Sodexho for the received tokens. The amount can be paid at any time i.e. payment of bills is not periodic or ones in a month.
On entering the User Name and password in the login page a Stall page is opened with their Stall name as the heading for that page.
Stalls Module contain the transactions like issuing the goods to the customers (employees) for the exchange of their respective tokens. On entering all the items that are being purchased by the employee, the total bill can be paid in combination of various tokens whose total value equals to the Bill Amount. On entering the number of tokens of the required denominations, the total amount is tallied with the Bill Amount.
For finalizing the payment, the employee has to specify his password (in this case it is his Employee Number which is unique). On Submitting all the values, the tokens are checked for their availability for the employee whose password has been entered. On success, the Bill is accepted, otherwise not. Each Transaction is managed and represented by a unique Transaction Id which is auto generated.
Details about the performed transactions can also be seen for the specified transaction id which displays the item code, item name, rate, quantity taken and its amount. The stall members can view the Payments that are been cleared and are in pending by the Sodexho for the available tokens that are currently available in the stall.
EMPLOYEE Module :
This Module is represented as a hidden Module where the employee only participates in the Stall transactions accepting the goods for the exchange of the tokens that are available with him (which are taken from the company). He has to provide his employee number as a password to validate or prove the validity of the entered token numbers of various denominations.

Mission and Activities
The Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association (BUEA) mission is to "provide the means to improve the economic, physical, and social environment for Zone residents and businesses."
Operating in accordance with Indiana State Code Title 5-28-15, the BUEA contributes to economic development efforts in Bloomington's urban core. Over its 25+ year lifespan, the BUEA has spurred millions of dollars in investment that has created or retained thousands of jobs.
Indiana offers a variety of state tax benefits for Zone businesses, investors and residents. Per state code, businesses and investors who claim Zone-related tax benefits must remit a small portion of their savings to the BUEA, which in turn operates a variety of programs and services to further economic development within the zone. Since 2013, zone management has fallen under the auspices of the City of Bloomington's Department of Economic & Sustainable Development (ESD). Find out whether you are located in the zone and eligible to participate in these programs: Enterprise Zone Map
Tax Incentives for Enterprise Zone Businesses
By contributing to economic growth in the area, businesses and non-profit corporations located within the Enterprise Zone are eligible for several state tax benefits.
Enterprise Zone Investment Deduction
- Businesses or individuals who make qualified investments within the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Zone are eligible to receive this tax deduction. The deduction is equal to the total assessed value minus the base year assessed value for the qualified investment. The deduction can be claimed for up to ten (10) years.
- Qualified investments include the purchase of a building; the purchase of new manufacturing or production equipment; costs associated with the repair, rehabilitation, or modernization of an existing building and related improvements; onsite infrastructure improvements; construction of a new building; and/or costs associated with retooling existing machinery.
- Download the Enterprise Zone Investment Deduction form: EZ-2 or the request for a time extension. Beginning in 2017, all EZB-R forms must be filed here: https://iedcportal.iedc.in.gov/.
- Please remember that the EZ-2 and the EZB-R must be filed every year of the deduction period in order to receive this deduction.
- For more information about the EZID program, download the How the EZID Program Works PDF.
Zone Business Loan Deduction
- Individuals and corporations may lower their state income tax liability by making investments in the Urban Enterprise Zone. These incentives apply to those purchasing an ownership interest in a Zone Business or making a Qualified Loan. Download the Enterprise Zone Loan Interest Tax Credit form.
Employment Expenses deduction
- Zone employers can earn tax credits for employing zone residents, based on wages paid to employees who live in the zone and work at least 50% of the time in the zone on a job related at least 90% of the time to the zone facility.
- Annual employment expense tax credit is the lesser of a) $1,500 multiplied by the number of qualified employees OR b) 10% of the increase in wages paid to qualified employees in the previous tax year.
- Subtract the lesser amount from (a) or (b) above from state tax liability on Form IT-20, and attach Schedule EZ, Part II. Qualified employees must be issued a Form IT-40 QEC (Enterprise Zone Qualified Employee Certificate).
Grants available to Enterprise Zone Businesses
Businesses can also participate in a variety of programs to help with capital improvements and training. These include competitive facility improvement loans, historic facade preservation grants, and training and support for entrepreneurial activity.
Historic Facade Preservation Grants
BUEA allocates a limited annual pool of funding to businesses to rehabilitate and preserve historic facades in the Urban Enterprise Zone. Grants are awarded in an amount not to exceed $10,000, and require the applicant to match at least 100% of the grant award. I.E. an applicant would require a $20,000 total facade rehabilitation project cost to be eligible for the full $10,000.
- Commercial, non-profit, and industrial properties are eligible for the grant, which may be used only for the costs associated with actual and approved façade rehabilitation and other costs relating to the requirement of various building codes.
- Grants are awarded on a rolling basis until annual funds are exhausted.
- Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Conor Herterich, historic preservation program manager of the City of Bloomington's Housing and Neighborhood Development Department, regarding proposed renovations and application preparation. He can be reached at 812-349-3507 or email@example.com
- Download the application here. Applications must be submitted by e-mail to Conor Herterich for review along with renderings of the proposed facade renovations.
Business Economic Enhancement Scholarships

IFA Central has now made the full Cahiers available in hard copy for "print on demand"
The International Fiscal Association (IFA) was established in 1938 with its headquarters in the Netherlands. It is the only non-governmental and non-sectoral international organization dealing with fiscal matters.
Its objects are the study and advancement of international and comparative law in regard to public finance, specifically international and comparative fiscal law and the financial and economic aspects of taxation. It comprises taxpayers, their advisers, government officials, members of the judiciary and university professors and is therefore a unique forum for discussing international fiscal questions.
The Canadian branch of IFA (with some 650 members) was established in1973 and incorporated in 1976. Canadian Branch members participate both directly and indirectly in the activities of IFA (Central).
IFA Canada achieves its objectives through attendance at the IFA Annual Congresses as well as through the provision of educational opportunities held nationally, including the annual Spring Seminar, the Spring Traveling Lectureship, and Spring and Fall Webinars.

Building a stand-alone Web service with Indy
By: Dave Nottage
Abstract: This article shows how to build a Web service using Indy and Delphi 6. By Dave Nottage.
This article explains how to fit Indy into Delphi 6's
services (SOAP) support. For more on creating Web services,
please refer to Nick Hodges's excellent Borland Community article, Shakespeare
on the Web.
I can't remember exactly why I built the application that follows. For
whatever reason, I needed to find an easy way of building a stand-alone Web service
-- that is, one that doesn't require a Web server.
A recent post in the borland.public.delphi.webservices.soap
newsgroup and a gentle hint from elsewhere have prompted me to drag
out the code, clean it up, and brush a few of the cobwebs out of my head. This
article is the result.
The components in Delphi 6's SOAP support are based around WebBroker. Typically in a WebBroker application, a component
that implements IWebDispatch lives on a TWebModule. In the case of a SOAP server, it's THTTPSoapDispatcher:
The major goal here was to leave as much of this default arrangement intact as
possible. So instead of attempting to fiddle with the SOAP components, I stuck with
Looking at the WebBroker architecture, I noted that the underlying technology is independent of the type of application.
ISAPI, CGI, whatever -- it doesn't matter. The basic principles are the same:
You have a request from the client (TWebRequest) and a response from the server (TWebResponse).
Request/Response mechanism of TIdHTTPServer is similar, so
I figured I could simply create wrapper classes similar to those used in ISAPI
and CGI applications, and hook them into the CommandGet method of TIdHTTPServer so requests
would be handled.
The result is the code in IndyApp.PAS and IndyHTTP.PAS (which correspond to xxxApp and xxxHTTP for ISAPI, CGI, COM,
and son on). Note that not all of the methods of TWebRequestIndy and TWebResponseIndy have complete
implementations. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Indy than I have can finish it off. <g>
Since there is no "Indy SOAP Server Application" wizard (perhaps I'll find time to build one later),
and the aim was to create a stand-alone executable, the most logical choice was to start with the
SOAP Server Application wizard (File | New | Other, WebServices tab, SOAP Server Application):
...and choose Web App Debugger executable. That's just what I did.
I used a dummy CoClass name, because the code generated for it would be removed later:
In the main form unit's implementation:
unit Unit1;
SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs;
TForm1 = class(TForm)
{ Private declarations }
{ Public declarations }
Form1: TForm1;
uses ComApp;
CLASS_ComWebApp: TGUID = '{44139136-EFD0-4044-8A3C-13484508A833}';
TWebAppAutoObjectFactory.Create(Class_ComWebApp, 'Dummy', 'Dummy Object');
I removed the uses clause, the CLASS_ComWebApp const, and the initialization section.
The conditional define: {$APPTYPE GUI} was not required, so that was
removed also. In the uses clause, I changed COMApp to IndyApp, and the DefaultPort property
was set to what I wanted (1024) before Application.Initialize, with Active set to true
once the main form had been created.
Using the Invokable Wizard (which I co-authored with Borland), I created a simple
interface and invokable class. The implementation unit (DemoImpl) was
added to the project's uses clause (to make sure that the invokable class
is registered when the app runs), and I was away!
I ran the app, pointed my browser at http://localhost:1024/wsdl/IDemo,
and lo and behold, the WSDL was published!
Thanks to my hours of blood, sweat and tears, you too can have your own
stand-alone Web service application, all without the aid of .NET -- or even a
Web server.
Refer to Nick Hodges's article for
advice on how to create a Web service client to access the Web service.
