If you ask several testers how to write good API tests you will get several different answers. Not only are peoples' styles and approaches different, but often API sets will lend themselves to various methodologies. That being said, my goal here is to describe some of the practices that have worked well for me while testing the Xbox Operating System.Josh Poley's Black Book [2.38 MB]
I took a collection of knowledge that I frequently needed to reference and placed it all into one document.

This document has everything from error codes to calling conventions to IIS server variables to Hungarian notation.
Patents7162407 - Testing a host's support for peripheral devices (7418377)
In order to test a host's support for peripherals that use a given type of peripheral interface, an interface device communicates with peripheral interface ports of the host. The interface device also communicates with an emulation computer over a local area network. The emulation computer is programmed to emulate one or more peripheral devices by receiving and responding to messages. The interface device passes messages between the host and the emulation computer, using a peripheral interface communications protocol for communications with the host and using a network communications protocol for communications with the emulation computer.7421731 - Transparent authentication using an authentication server
A user, by way of a computing device, requests and receives content from a first server at the computing device. An authentication response is also received from the first server at the computing device of the user. The authentication response includes an address of the second server and an executable script. The computing device of the user executes the executable script by issuing a request to the second server for state information corresponding to the user, receiving the state information from the second server; and determining, based on the state information, whether the user is authenticated to the second server. If the user is not authenticated to the second server, the computer device of the user displays a login module that is visually associated with the first server. Such login module collects login information for authenticating the user to the second server. If the user is authenticated in the second server, the computing device of the user issues a request to the second server for vouching information for authenticating the user to the first server.

Citrus-Marinated Pork Rib Roast
When making this dish in Marche, Italy, Fabio Trabocchi's father used pork from neighboring farmers, which he marinated using oranges from Sicily, wild fennel from the surrounding fields and herbs from a container garden on the family's back porch.
Slideshow:Chef Holiday Recipes Made Easy
Slideshow: More Pork Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- Time(Other): Plus Overnight Marinating
- Two 5-bone pork rib roasts, about 4 pounds each
- 6 garlic cloves
- 6 whole cloves
- 3 lemons, zest removed in strips with a vegetable peeler and lemons juiced
- 3 oranges, zest removed in strips with a vegetable peeler and oranges juiced
- 20 fresh bay leaves
- 8 rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons fennel seeds, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Roasted small apples and pears (see Note), for garnish
How to make this recipe
Using a paring knife, make three 1-inch-deep slits on the fatty side of each pork rib roast closest to the bones. Stud the garlic cloves with the whole cloves and stuff them into the slits.
In a baking dish, combine the lemon and orange zests and juices with the bay leaves, rosemary sprigs, fennel seeds, juniper berries and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Bring the pork rib roasts to room temperature before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Scrape off the marinade and generously season the pork with salt and pepper. In a very large skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the pork and brown over moderate heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the pork rib roasts to a large roasting pan. Roast for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, rotating the pan once or twice, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140°. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Cut the pork between the rib bones into 10 chops. Transfer to plates, garnish with the roasted apples and pears and serve.
Score the apples to prevent the skin from splitting. Roast the fruit at 350° for about 1 hour, until tender.
Suggested Pairing
Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy's premier wine regions, produces aromatic, elegant reds that age effortlessly for years. These wines are ideal partners for this impressive pork rib roast (and for almost any extravagant roast).

This program does not do anything except calculate the same thing n*n times. Since you have no varying parameters in the expression, you can just calculate the value once.
Generally, a good and easy way to speed up programs is compiling them:

"In the Antarctic, everybody is on a first-name basis"
The German-South African team
© Martin Ney (AA)
Dr Martin Ney, Legal Adviser to the Federal Government on international law issues and Director General for Legal Affairs at the Federal Foreign Office, visited a number of research stations in the Antarctic between 7 and 30 January 2013 on a joint German South African inspection trip. This is a rare event: the last inspection by a German Delegation was 14 years ago. For the colleagues from South Africa, it was the first ever inspection trip. We asked Mr Ney to tell us about his impressions.
Question: Mr Ney, what is a legal adviser on international law doing in the Antarctic?
Martin Ney: Within the Federal Government, the Federal Foreign Office is responsible for the Antarctic Treaty, because we take the lead on international law. It thus fell to me to head the delegation and set up the parameters for the German South African inspection. However, the inspection would have been completely inconceivable without the input on scientific matters of the Alfred Wegener Institut für Polar und Meeresforschung (AWI) – two AWI staff members were sent on the inspection – and of the Federal Environment Agency.
Inspection team at the Neumayer III station
© Martin Ney (AA)
What exactly did you look at?
We inspected four stations in total: the Norwegian station "Troll", the British station "Halley", the Indian station "Maitri" and the Belgian station "Princess Elizabeth". Information gathering visits were conducted at the German station "Neumayer III" and the South African station "Sanae IV". During an inspection, it is important to see how a station manages its logistics and its energy supply, what research projects are being carried out, whether it disposes of waste and waste water in an environmentally sound manner and whether the Antarctic is being used for exclusively peaceful purposes.
Why is the Antarctic so important to us?
Fifty percent of all sea water comes from the Antarctic. If we gain a scientific grasp of this process and the melting process of the ice, then we can draw conclusions about climate change and its effects, for example. But that is only a tiny part of the scientific research going on there.
How adventurous did you feel there?
I am really glad to be back in Berlin. Flying in the Antarctic is not without its dangers. The plane that we were originally supposed to use there got caught on a snow drift during takeoff and crashed. The replacement plane was a so called "twin otter", whose sister craft tragically crashed with all its passengers during our time in the Antarctic.
What is life like for the researchers at the stations?
The Norwegian station Troll
© Martin Ney (AA)
Half of the staff at every station works in logistics: they are communications experts and engineers maintaining equipment, taking care of the energy supply and so on. The other half of the staff is researchers, mostly highly specialized geologists, geophysicists, meteorologists and chemists. All are part of a team; in the Antarctic everybody is on a first name basis. Everybody is dependent on each other, maybe more so than in any other working environment. Accommodation in four bed rooms is the norm, so forget about privacy. And the most important member of the crew is the cook! The food at the German station was marvellous. There were even fresh baked rolls.
And what accommodations did you have?
We had the same as everybody else, warm and simple. But on my last night I did sleep in a tent while it was minus 15 degrees outside.
What did you wear? Normal winter clothing is probably not enough there.
Legal adviser for international law Martin Ney
© Martin Ney (AA)
Without the support of the Alfred Wegener Institut für Polar und Meeresforschung we never would have been able to conduct the inspection. They gave us complete polar outfits.
You conducted the inspection together with a team from South Africa. How was the cooperation?
It was really excellent. South Africa is a really strong partner for us in the Antarctic. We are immediate neighbours there with the stations Sanae IV and Neumayer III, even if we are three days journey apart. On our trip, we formed German South African Teams to check individual inspection criteria and we discussed what issues were particularly important to us.
The Antarctic Treaty is intended to ensure the peaceful and scientific use of the Antarctic. How do you see the prospects for this?
No one calls into doubt the peaceful use of the Antarctic. But there are two big question marks. The one is about how to deal with tourism. It is clear that tourism must be environmentally sound and should only be allowed in a very limited scope. We will not be able to preserve the Antarctic as an area exclusively devoted to research, though. A certain amount of tourism is necessary for the long term support of environmental protection in the Antarctic.
The second thing is that there is not only a ban on exploiting the natural resources of the Antarctic, but also on exploration related to them. The ban on resource exploration will expire at some point. I can imagine that some countries are already thinking about how they can direct their research towards future resource extraction.
What role can Germany play?
Germany has a seat at the table with those who make the decisions at the annual meetings of the parties to the Antarctic Treaty. Above all, we have to think about how to deal with the two open questions I mentioned.
Would you like to go back to the Antarctic as a tourist?
After a little break, I would do anything to go back to the Antarctic. (Laughs).
Thank you very much.
The German South African Antarctic inspection was based on the duties of the Consultative Parties arising from the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 and the Madrid Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. For Germany, it was the first inspection since 1999. The German delegation consisted of five participants: the Director General for Legal Affairs at the Federal Foreign Office and a representative from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as well as staff from the Federal Environment Agency and the Alfred Wegener Institut für Polar und Meeresforschung (AWI) in Bremerhaven. The countries that were inspected will now be sent an inspection report for their comments. The report will then be presented at the meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Antarctic Treaty in Brussels in May 2013.

I am looking at a fnp9 as a CC and am a little confused, is there a more compact model called the fnp9m? I have seen a little about them but the FN website does not list them at all and I cant seem to find any for sale on the popular sites, but I have seen comments about a "m" version on various forums.
The fnp9 seems to have everything I think I want and if it comes in a more compact package all the better. Does anyone here CC the fnp9 and if so how is it for that purpose, what method works best. Thanks for any help.
The "M"s been discontinued. A shame. I have one and a FNP9 and carry the M due to shorter grip(15rd mag vs 16 in FNP9), little shorter barrel, same width.
LOL, do you always sign your fliers with a frown?
Yep, that was first shot DA, then I shot "much" better than avg group..for me.
Over at FN Forum someone just bought a FNP-9m with a safety. First I have seen like that so maybe they are going to start making them again. They said they were coming out with a subcompact in 2009 on the forum was hoping for a single stack but maybe it is the m coming back. I really like my FNP-9 but a little large maybe for concealed carry.
The De-cock lever on the FNP is a safety also. Flips up.
I have a Browning Pro-40 that has the de-cocker with the safety. All the FNP's I've sen thus far did as well. I guess I need to see more..heh
Yep. I've got a FNP9 and FNP9M. Decockers but no safety.
I just had my LGS set aside an FNP-9M for pick up on Monday. He gave me a great deal seeing as he has had it for some time and the "M" is discontinued. He has an FNP-9 also but I think that the "M" will conceal more easily. That SHOULD end my insane buying impulses at least for a while.
I wound up buying it three weeks ago. What a sweet shooter! After a trip to the range, I sold my Glock 19 and ordered an FNP-357 to keep the 9 company.

Africa seeking $40 bln/yr in climate aid
By Christian Lowe and Tarek Amara
TUNIS (Reuters) - Rich nations at the Copenhagen climate summit should commit $40 billion a year in new money to help Africa tackle the consequences of global warming, the president of the African Development Bank (AfDB) said on Monday.
Donald Kaberuka said he wanted to see a "willingess by rich countries to dig into their pockets to enable low-income countries to adapt to climate change."
"Climate change is costing this continent almost 3 percent of GDP (gross domestic product) per year. Now translate that into numbers, the kind of things we need: about $40 billion a year," he told Reuters in an interview.
Asked about the consequences for Africa of failure at the summit in Denmark, he said: "We have no choice. An agreement is needed in Copenhagen or soon thereafter."
"We are suffering already the effect of climate change so the idea that somehow we can go to Copenhagen and expect no outcome is a terrible one to think about," Kaberuka said at the AfDB's headquarters in Tunis.
Negotiations began in the Danish capital on Monday between 190 countries on a treaty designed to curb emissions of greenhouse gases and combat the effects of climate change, including rising seas, desertification and floods.
African leaders say their continent has been hit particularly hard by climate change -- and stands to suffer more if it continues unchecked -- because of the fragility of many African economies.
Kaberuka said Africa would spend the $40 billion a year on helping countries adapt to climate change, on energy sources that are low on harmful emissions, and on measures like preserving forests to help absorb excess carbon dioxide. Continued...

Ask Computer Networking Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I would like to help you with this problem.
Yes you can. Here are the setup instructions:
Netgear n600 WNDR3700 access point (AP) setup instructions.These are my instructions when you have two Netgear n600 WNDR3700. This is for the situation when one is your primary router and you want to set the second as an access point (AP).1. Log into main router and find out IP subnet and subnet mask and then log off. Default IP address is 192.168.1.1.2. Log into secondary router that is going to be the access point. I will refer to it as AP1.To log on... plug an ethernet cable into your computer and plug the other end into any of the four ethernet ports on AP1. These are color coded orange when looking at the bottom of AP1.Do NOT have any other ethernet cables plugged into AP1 right now.3. Open a browser and go to either http://www.routerlogin.com or 192.168.1.14. The default username and password XXXXXuserpassword5. Navigate to Setup->Basic SettingsIn Internet IP Address sect select Get Dynamically from ISP. In Domain Name Server (DNS) Address select Use These DNS Server.Primary DNS: 126.96.36.199Secondary DNS: 126.96.36.199 Click Apply.6. Navigate to Advanced->LAN Setup.7. In LAN TCP/IP setup enter the IP address that you want AP1 to have. Example: IP Address 192.168.1.12Subnet Address 255.255.255.08. Uncheck Use Router as DHCP Server.9. Click Apply10. Plug ethernet cable from main router to any of the three remaining four ethernet ports on AP1. NOTE: do NOT plug cable into AP1 Internet port which is color coded yellow. It will never be used will as an AP.11. Power cycle AP1 by either pushing the power button off/on or unplugging/plug in the power supply.12. In a browser go to IP address you assigned AP1. In my example go to 192.168.1.12.13. Navigate to Setup->Wireless Settings. Make any preferred changes. I want to broadcast both G and N both using WPA2-PSK [AES] security and provide passphrase. For each check Enable SSID BroadcastFor each uncheck Enable Wireless IsolationChange the name of the SSID to something other than the default.Click Apply14.

Los Angeles • A new study suggests the proliferation of gay and transgender characters in films and television shows has not prevented gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender actors from experiencing discrimination in Hollywood.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists commissioned the survey, released Friday. It found that more than half of the actors who identify as gay, bisexual and transgender think directors and producers are biased against them.
More than one-third of the actors who don't fall into those categories agreed with that perception.
Only 16 percent of the gay, bisexual and transgender respondents, however, said they had experienced discrimination. Gay men reported the most, with about one-fifth saying they had been discriminated against.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: China is the center of domestication of the soybean (Glycine max) but little information exists about genetic diversity in Chinese germplasm. The objectives of this research were to characterize and compare primitive germplasm accessions from four provinces in China: Zhejiang, Sichuan, Gansu and Hebei. Ten accessions from each province were characterized using RAPD fragments. CNS, an important U.S. ancestral line, was also included. A total of 241 fragments were scored of which 125 were polymorphic. Simple matching coefficients were calculated. Two hierarchical methods, Unweighted Paired Group Method using Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA) and Ward's minimum-variance method, produced five and four clusters, respectively. VARCLUS, a non-hierarchical procedure, produced six clusters. There was disagreement among the methods but each procedure identified clusters of accessions that originated from the same province. Based on all of the information, 6 major clusters containing 32 accessions were defined. Eight accessions from both Hebei and Zhejiang were divided between two clusters whereas accessions from Gansu (5) and Sichuan (4) were each placed in a single major cluster. The U.S. ancestral line CNS, which originated in a neighboring province, was placed in one of the Zhejiang clusters. The remaining nine accessions from Gansu, Sichuan and Zhejiang were placed in a single cluster by VARCLUS but were not grouped consistently by the two hierarchical methods. Because G. max is a domesticated species, determining genetic origin is generally uncertain, but among most of the G. max accessions in this research there is a strong relationship between origin and genetic similarity.

Carbon sequestration rights on private and crown land
Parts 4 and 5 of the Climate Change Act 2010 create new, secure arrangements for the ownership, registration and transfer of forestry and carbon sequestration rights. These provisions ensure Victoria's natural resource and agricultural sectors can access the economic opportunities provided for under the Commonwealth Government's Carbon Farming Initiative.
Part 4 – Private land forestry rights, carbon sequestration rights and soil carbon rights
Part 4 of the Climate Change Act 2010 replaces the Forestry Rights Act 1996 with a new, comprehensive rights-based framework for carbon sequestered by forests and soil on private land.
The key features of the new legal framework are:
- the property rights of landowners, forest property owners and carbon investors are defined
- all parties must agree on management arrangements as part of the process of creating a Forest and Carbon Management Agreement (FCMA), which is then placed on land title
- Carbon rights are an interest that "runs with the land" – i.e. carbon rights remain attached to the land even if there is a change in land ownership.
The main benefits for private landowners, forest property owners and carbon investors are:
- landowners can directly sell carbon sequestered on their land. The reforms make it easier and simpler for private landholders to separately buy and sell forestry and carbon sequestration rights, without requiring a new management agreement every time a right is sold.
- all parties have greater legal certainty about management arrangements under the new FCMAs. These changes should minimise disputes about carbon claims under private agreements because the interests are now recorded on the title to land.
- improved investor confidence by positioning Victoria to take full advantage of national carbon markets or government-funded programs to establish carbon sinks.
While the Climate Change Act 2010 repeals the Forestry Rights Act 1996, these changes do not affect any existing forest property / carbon rights agreements made under the previous Act. People with arrangements under the Forestry Rights Act 1996 can choose to continue with those agreements or negotiate a new FCMA.
For further information about the customer information bulletin or forms published by Land Victoria, contact Land Victoria Customer Service on (03) 8636 2010.
Part 5 – Carbon sequestration on Crown land
Part 5 of the Climate Change Act 2010 recognises the value of sequestered carbon on Victoria's public land and establishes clear rules under which Crown land can be managed and used for carbon sequestration purposes. The Victorian Government may manage its own land or by arrangements with third parties, based on a new instrument known as carbon sequestration agreements (CSAs).
The Government will maintain its stewardship role on all public land and forests by sustainably managing forests to maximise value for the Victorian public.
For carbon sequestration projects on Crown land, the Department of Environment and Primary Industries Secretary:
- declares specified Crown land to be available for carbon sequestration
- holds carbon rights over Crown land subject to existing licences, leases and agreements, except in certain specified instances
- can enter into CSAs with other parties for carbon reforestation on Crown Land and grant carbon sequestration rights and soil carbon rights to third parties.
A Carbon Sequestration Agreement may authorise a person to access Crown land, plant and maintain vegetation on Crown land for the purposes of carbon sequestration, control carbon sequestered within vegetation or soil, and manage the land for the purpose of carbon sequestration.

Not sure if you've done it yet or not, but you should post this over at Xceedspeed.com Tons of DSM'ers there that may spark some interest.
Nice looking ride, and best of luck with the sale.

I can has terrain?
Ok, i need to clear up an apparent issue with this car. I bought this car from a good friend of mine and when i got the car i was given a gauge cluster reading 77,000 miles on it. I installed the cluster without any hesitation as i was under the impression it was right and the car is clean enough that it was more than possible. At 83,000 miles i put the car up for sale. After a car fax was ran it showed the milage being off and that the last known milage was almost 99,000 back in 2003.
Hold onto your shorts because it gets a little confusing.
I called the previous owner who as i said was a good friend of mine and he told me the car had 96,000 when he sold it to me, i replied with that wasnt possible, i knew he only drove it in the summers and on weekends, but that certainly wouldnt cause it to have LESS miles. i rechecked the milage with carfax and called him back, then he came clean and said he wasnt sure if what he had done was illegal or not.
This is what happened.
He bought the car in 2003 with almost 99,000 on it, at 100,000 miles he swapped in the gauge cluster from his wrecked DSM that had 80,000 miles on it. He never planned to sell this car so it was just for his own pleasure of seeing less than 100,000 miles on it. Then when that odometer reached 96,000 miles he got a nonturbo gauge cluster that read 77,000 miles and shortly after he parked it and started converting the interior to a 97-99 black and started doing mods to it, I got the car mostly torn apart because he wasnt finished and had to move down south for school. I finished putting it together, and installed the only gauge cluster i had which read 77,000 miles. I now have almost 84,000 miles on that cluster.
In all reality the chassis has about 123,000 miles on it. I installed the engine from a 98 GST that i know has 90k miles on it. At this point all anyone can do is go on my word and check my math. But i assure everyone that to the best of my knowledge the actual milage is 123,000 miles. Michigan titles have the option for: Actual Milage, Not Actual Milage and Exceeds Mechanical Limits. However after a car is 10 years old in michigan (correct me if im wrong) the secretary of state no long checks milage on title transfer. Therefore if you do a car fax on my car you'll see no milage listed when i transfered the title. Had they checked the milage there would be a milage discrepency present.
The vin is 4E3L54FXSE04326
My price is not changing and is firm, regardless of the miles on this vehicle it is in outstanding aesthetic and mechanical condition. I expect no less than my asking price of 7500 with GSX wheels or 7000 with GST wheels.
I apologize for any issues i may have caused with anyone, i have great seller reputation everywhere and i would not sell a car knowing of an issue like this without informing the interested party.
i can be reached at 269.357.4372

I can has terrain?
still for sale! guy came to check it out and pick it up, after finding the compression to be perfect, it to have no leaks anywhere and and the turbo to have no shaft play, his 'mechanic' asked me to come down on the price. I said no, my prices are firm and the car is worth it. he decided to go home and sleep on it and decided it wasnt a good idea for him to buy a DSM until he sells his mustang. Sooooooooooooooooooooo someone buy it :) willing to do partial trades + cash, assuming the trade interests me.

Partial trade as in which way? You add cash or buyer adds cash.I have a modded Jeep but it is worth significantly more, although I have ALWAYS wanted a AWD GST. I would be willing to trade my 00 TJ if you would put cash on top of it, or, if you happen to have a 2g spyder you would want to throw in too, I would take that as some of the cash.

Sorry for not being specific, cash as in buyer has car + cash towards my car.
Not looking to spend money, i need money to finish my project.
PS awd = GSX, GST = fwd turbo. :)

Century's Morton Village
1038 Old Country Road,
2 people favorited this theater
The modern Morton Village Theater stood at the edge of the Morton Village Shopping Center. This theater had a short life before Century Theaters closed it. It was then gutted and converted to retail use.
Recent comments (view all 37 comments)
Saw two fantatsic mid 70s movies here, Fellini's AMARCORD and Cassvetes' A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
Also saw one of the worst NIGHT ON THE LEPUS…LOL!
I have good memories of this theater. The low ceiling, perhaps, made the screen seem a mile wide; the seats were comfortable and sightlines good from everywhere. I saw a lot of off-beat fare here in the early 70's: The Revolutionary (w/Jon Voigt); The Angel Levine (w/Zero Mostel and Harry Belafonte); Alice's Restaurant; Burn! (w/Marlon Brando); Ned Kelly (w/Mick Jagger); and a turkey called (I still love this title) The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun (bad movie – good book).
I saw my first James Bond movie here: On Her Majesty's Secret
Service (terrific action sequences, and Lazenby's not that bad). Movie maniac that I was, I drove over on a very snowy weekday night (in January '75?) to see The Abduction (Liv Ullmann as Queen Christina – and Anthony Hopkins, I think); as I was the only one (besides the staff) who had showed up, they declined to sell me a ticket, so they could go home early – and I don't blame them (I
never did see that movie, but I'm sure the Garbo version is better anyway).
In the discount days of the late 70's and early 80's, I was a frequent patron. In 1980, I played "uncle" to some 15-year old boys
who wanted to see American Gigolo (an under-rated, really great
movie); the only reason for wanting to see it that I could elicit
from them was the Blondie song!
Too bad it's gone, like so many others!
The last manager here was Mata Baur……
As a patron I didn't find the theatre as problematice as former staff. I also like the exterior. It was very unusual.
In '80 I saw Chariots of Fire at Morton and I remember the admission was about the same as the bargain theatre in Northport – about $1
Read something on one of the other sites regarding the Morton Village. Facade has glazed black and white brick. Sinage was red and not the splashy sinage common to Century. Maybe a local restriction?
I remember taking pictures of Batman & Robin there, as they showed up to promote their new Batman movie playing there, in '66 or '67.
Anybody know what year the theater closed?
I question whether that is the Morton Village in the picture. The auditorium ran parallel to Old Country Road. I don't remember the entrance being positioned on the shopping center side, which this would have to be, since the entrance was on the east end. There were also trees on Old Country Road. I also don't remember the building being white.
110% positive…it's the Morton Village Theater. When I took the picture, my back was to Old Country Road. And no, the auditorium ran perpendicular to Old Country Road. The building that is still there now utilizes the same original footprint as the movie theater, which was on the extreme left (west) side of the Morton Village Shopping Center property.

At 3 AM on one of the busiest nights of the year, when someone starts asking you to mix up cocktails that you have never made before and aren't on the menu, and the recipe is written on the back of the waitress' hand, you will often ask if maybe they don't want a mojito instead. But when that person is holding hostage your copy of season two of The West Wing DVD, well, it takes a better person than me to say no.
So I dashed off a couple of the stupidly named Sex on the Beach cocktails.
What a good drink; easy to make, the ingredients are available in any bar and in most liquor stores at affordable prices. It tastes good enough to sell to almost anyone.
As with any recipe (and especially with the simple ones), choose your ingredients with care. The vodka has to be decent, but the peach schnapps can be any brand or variety. The OJ can be natural or a decent brand with relatively few additives. It's all about the balance.
After a few rounds of experimenting on my customers, it was this simple version of the recipe that won me over:
Serve in a large, long glass (known in the trade as a highball) with three smallish ice cubes.
Combine the ingredients in a Boston shaker (a two part shaker with a clear mixing glass incorporated - a really sexy tool to have in your home bar) or have another equally sized glass to use as mixer.
Shake the mix quickly and with long smooth strokes for about five seconds. The ingredients will be blended and chilled without the ice melting or too much air getting into the mix. If you're using other glasses as mixers, pass it back and forth to each glass at least three times.
Put in a couple of straws and a nice orange peel decoration or a pretty drink umbrella.
*I live in a non-standardized country so I use 1.5oz shot glasses as my standard units

Great for pool basketball
By Pool basketball
from Georgia, United States
I love my lifetime basketball goal! It has worked great out by my pool. Very sturdy and holds up to the weather very well.
Great hoop for the pool
By donn
from Milwaukee, WI, United States
This is our second hoop. The first one was about 8 years old and was only replaced because of hail damage. This is worth the money and is much better than some of the more expensive backboards I have seen at other locations. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hours of Fun
By Chris
from Gray, TN, United States
We purchased this goal and the kids love it. I did spray it with a clear coat sealant before assembly since it is going to sit beside the pool all season. After 3 months, it still looks like new. When our kids go elsewhere to play on another brand of goal, they come home and say how much better this goal is. Highly recommend it.
My kids love it!
By Ali123
from Long Island, ny
Purchased this as a Christmas present. Kids couldn't wait until summer to use it. Assembly was easy and it was worth the wait! It's very sturdy. Kids hang on it and endlessly dunk! Great item
It's a SCORE!
By Huyz19
from Undisclosed
We decided we would need a basketball hoop after we installed an inground pool last Fall. After researching we decided on this one and have been completely happy with it! Our kids enjoy using it daily and we are confident it will last a long time!!

Best Blood Drive Ever - 08/31/09
For Immediate Release
8:00A.M. PT, August 31, 2009
Mitch Massey, SVP
(Paso Robles, CA) - Heritage Oaks Bank sponsored the most successful blood drive the Bank has ever had on August 25th at the Main Branch in Paso Robles with 51 donors. Heritage Oaks Bank participates in United Blood Services Heroes for Life Program by hosting four blood drives each year to help meet the needs in our community.
"Blood is the lifeline of a healthy community, making a steady supply critical to our collective well being. Our partnership with Heritage Oaks Bank helps us to achieve these goals. UBS-Central Coast supplies 100% of the blood components used in SLO County. We rely on businesses like HOB to better serve our community," said Mona Kleman, Donor Recruitment Manager for United Blood Services.
United Blood Services sets up the blood drive in the Heritage Oaks Bank parking lot at the Main Branch. Anyone is welcome to donate blood if they meet blood donation criteria. Heritage Oaks Bank provides sign-up sheets leading up to and on the day of the event for anyone interested in donating.
"Sponsoring the blood drive allows HOB to give back to the community, and contributes to the well being of our community members. It is with great pride that we at HOB sponsor quarterly blood drives at our Paso Robles location, contributing 30t o 50 pints of life-saving blood at every drive," says Kristin Kearns, Main Branch Manager.
What is it like to donate blood? A brief interview is the first step. You will be asked about your medical history and current health. Next, your temperature, blood pressure, pulse and blood iron level are checked. You will relax in a comfortable chair while a technician collects your blood donation. After donating, you will be invited to rest and enjoy a light refreshment. It is nto possible to get a disease while donating blood. All materials used during the donating process are sterile and used only once. Most donors find it a painless and heartwarming experience.
United Blood Servies exists to make a difference in people's lives by brining together people, inspiring individuals to donate blood, producing a safe and ample blood supply, advancing cutting-edge research and embracing continuous quality improvement.
Founded in 1943 as the Salt River Valley Blood Bank in Phoenix, Arizona, today United Blood Services non-profit community blood centers provide blood, blood components and special services to patients in more than 500 hospitals in 18 states. More than 15 million people in communities throughout these states depend on United Blood Services' generous volunteer blood donors to make sure lifesaving blood is available when and where it is needed.
During the summer, there is usually a significant decrease in the number of blood donations while there is an increase in the need for blood. August is traditionally the most difficult month to collect donations and local inventories often fall to critically low levels. Heritage Oaks Bank is proud to not only have the most donors participate in our blood drive, but also donate during a time of great need.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in this successful blood drive. Mark your calendar, the next blood drive is scheduled for November 19, 2009 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

It depends on what you are planning on doing with the XDm. If you are going to shoot competition. And need the extra capacity of the XDm magazines. Then the XDm might be worth the extra price.
But for normal shooting (IMHO) the difference between the XD or a Glock and the XDm is not worth the extra price.
Having said that. I bought the XDm in 9mm anyway. Just because I like the looks of the pistol and I am a Springfield XD fan. So I had to have the XDm.
If you are just looking for a good gun and are trying to choose between the two. The Glock is every bit as good as the XDm for normal use.
I would suggest renting both guns if you are not already familiar with them and get some trigger time with each. After shooting them you may decide that you like the XDm and that it is worth the extra cost.

BibTeX to Endnote (proprietary XML) converter (download) This now has a Java GUI.
You can still run the old version with 'java -classpath bib2endnote.jar BibEndnote bibfile.bib > endnote.xml'
Download the .jar file. (Note: if you use Internet Explorer, it may try to tell you that the file has a .zip extension. It doesn't. Save it as .jar and get a better browser.) Old versions can be downloaded below, in case I break something. If you have a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed properly, you should be able to simply double-click the file to run the program. If you don't have a JVM, get the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) if you don't plan to write your own java code, or get the Java Development Kit (JDK) if you do. If you have a JVM installed, and double-clicking doesn't work, you will need to execute it from a command line, like:
java -jar bib2endnote.jar
Once the program is running, it's dead simple. Select Open, pick a .bib file, then select Save, enter filename (.xml), exit. If there are bugs in the BibTeX file, or if some things can't be converted to EndNote (e.g. keywords), then warnings will appear in the left pane. You can preview the XML in the right pane.
To import it, open EndNote, choose Import... (File menu) and select "EndNote generated XML" from the options. Then find the xml file you saved. The XML format is that used by EndNote 7, which EndNote 8 and 9 seem to understand fine. I can't guarantee it will work for other EndNotes because, frankly, EndNote's XML parser is crap (e.g. it is sensitive to the order of fields within each entry).
Simple: cross references.
BibTeX cross references are the shiznit. Rather than having
[1] Some Guy. Some Title. In Some Chic (ed.) Proceedings of First International Blah on Blah. Somewhere, Someplace, January, 2000.
[2] Someother Guy. Someother title. In Some Chic (ed.) Proceedings of First International Blah on Blah. Somewhere, Someplace, January, 2000.
[3] Thelast Guy. Last title. In Some Chic (ed.) Proceedings of First International Blah on Blah. Somewhere, Someplace, January, 2000.
BibTeX cross references can (automatically) do
[1] Some Chic (ed.) Proceedings of First International Blah on Blah. Somewhere, Someplace, January, 2000.
[2] Some Guy. Some Title. In Chic [1].
[3] Someother Guy. Someother title. In Chic [1].
[4] Thelast Guy. Last title. In Chic [1].
Note that if there is only one citation from a particular proceedings, it will not make the second reference for the proceedings itself.
Also, it goes some way towards flattening the BibTeX database.
This, as well as BibTeX string substitution and LaTeX escape codes (like Fr{\'{e}}d{\'{e}}ric) means that most BibTeX converters out there are crap. Also BibTeX and EndNote's fields don't correlate very well.. bib2endnote does a pretty good of saving all the fields in the BibTeX file and making them available (in some fashion) for EndNote to use. It creates an XML file, which is a native Endnote format (the XML is what EndNote embeds in your Word documents, for example) and that it can import easily. Known LaTeX escapes are converted to XML character entities eg {. However, EndNote doesn't support cross references, so the first thing that bib2endnote does is 'unflatten' the BibTeX database.
Acknowledgements: The BibTeX parser was written by Johannes Henkel (email@example.com), and some of the LaTeX -> XML conversion stuff was cut out of the source code for JabRef, a GPL-2 licence. Hence, the license for this stuff is probably GPL-2 as well. All the source code is contained within the .jar file. Enjoy.

Download Over the last year, the global financial crisis and recession have resulted in accelerated adoption of outsourcing and offshoring as essential business tools. Companies of all sizes are turning to outsourcing and offshoring to weather the severe economic downturn by reducing costs and overhead and gaining more flexibility in order to ride out the storm. Of course, this raises some key questions: Is outsourcing a good business decision during recessions and other times of crisis? What are the main factors influencing outsourcing and offshoring? Is outsourcing right for my company? And what trends are affecting the nature of the industry as a whole? This white paper addresses each of the aforementioned issues, while discussing outsourcing in general and the specifics of the practice under tough economic conditions.

|If you are going to install and use WebSphere CloudBurst in your own environment, it is very likely that you would want at least two appliances. Perhaps you want to have a standby appliance in case of a failure on the main appliance, or maybe you have different teams that are looking to utilize the appliance in different data centers. In any case, once you install multiple appliances there's another requirement that will pop up pretty quickly. Naturally you are going to want to share custom artifacts among the various WebSphere CloudBurst boxes.
|When I say custom artifacts, namely I mean virtual images, patterns, and script packages. Script packages have been easy enough to share since WebSphere CloudBurst 1.0 because you can simply download the ZIP file from one appliance and upload it to another. However, there are some enhancements in WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1 that make it easy to share both patterns and images among your different appliances.
|As far as patterns go, there is a new script included in the samples directory of the WebSphere CloudBurst command line interface package called patternToPython.py. This script will transform a pattern you specify into a python script. The resulting python script can then be run against a different WebSphere CloudBurst (using the CLI), and the result is the pattern is created on the target appliance. You need to be sure that the artifacts that pattern references (script packages and virtual images) exist on the target appliance and have the exact same name as they do on the appliance from which the pattern was taken. There are no other caveats, and this new sample script makes it really simple to move patterns between appliances.
|For virtual images, a new feature was added that allows you to export a virtual image from the WebSphere CloudBurst console. Simply select a virtual image, specify a remote machine (any machine with SCP enabled), and click a button to export the image as an OVA file. This OVA file can then be added to another WebSphere CloudBurst catalog using the normal process for adding virtual images. You can see this feature in action here.
|Stay tuned for more information about some of the handy new features in WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1. We also should have a comprehensive look at the new release coming soon in a developerWorks article.

Written by: Arlene Sanchez Walsh
William J. Seymour (1870-1922) was the son of former slaves born in Louisiana. After working a series of jobs, and exploring the call to ministry in several churches, Seymour moved to Indianapolis and joined Daniel S. Warner's Church of God movement (in Anderson, Indiana), nicknamed the "Evening Light Saints." This intentionally multiracial movement was deeply rooted in ideals of social reform and allowed Seymour to begin his pastoral career preaching to mixed audiences as he formed his own ideas about race and faith.
Seymour traveled to Houston to take classes at the Bible school of fellow Pentecostal founder, Charles F. Parham. In accordance with the racial norms of 1905, as an African American, Seymour had to wait outside the classroom and listen to the lecture. What he heard from Parham seemed to convince him of the necessity of another experience after sanctification that would be accompanied by the evidence of speaking in tongues. Seymour was invited to preach at a small Holiness church in Los Angeles, but found a less than receptive audience when he began preaching about the Pentecostal baptism. By all accounts, Seymour had not experienced the baptism yet, which was unusual and caused his Holiness congregation to wonder why he would be preaching about something he had yet to experience. A small group from the Holiness church decided to support Seymour's preaching and allowed him to use one of their homes, on Bonnie Brae Street, as a base where he would, in effect, begin the American Pentecostal movement in 1906.
Seymour's preaching drew huge crowds, so large that they moved to an abandoned African Methodist Episcopal church in downtown Los Angeles, the Azusa Street Mission. Hundreds came to hear about this new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and often the meetings spilled out into the streets. Finally, after months of preaching and praying for such an outpouring, Seymour-along with a church full of witnesses and pastoral staff-experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit on April 9, 1906, accompanied by speaking in tongues. The spiritual nature of the event would have been revolutionary enough if it hadn't also been combined with the social nature of the meetings. Different races and ethnicities as well as women and men worshipped side by side. Such revolutionary happenings in Los Angeles were welcomed by Seymour, who viewed racial egalitarianism as part of his mission. Unfortunately that unrestricted spirit would not outlast the Azusa Street revival, which lasted from 1906 to 1909.
Thanks to the work of the church stenographer, Seymour's sermons and thoughts about the Azusa Street Revival were preserved and transmitted through the pages of the mission's newspaper, The Apostolic Faith. In addition, Seymour attempted to codify the theology of Azusa Street in a book called Doctrines and Discipline of Azusa Street Apostolic Mission of Los Angeles. But according to historian Douglas Jacobsen, Seymour's writing is little more than the African Methodist Episcopal's book of discipline with a few of Seymour's thoughts interspersed throughout the document.

Of course you know that Hollywood has to have its say whenever a subject like the right for homosexual couples to get married crops up in a big way in the media. Yesterday the federal courts decided that California's Proposition 8, heavily debated throughout the state because of its proposal after the state had previously ruled that same-sex couples had the right to marry, is unconstitutional. So the celebrities did what the celebrities do after these things happen. They tweeted.
Rose McGowan: "Yay! No more Prop H8! I wanna be a flower girl in a wedding asap!"
Olivia Munn: "Prop 8 Overturned!!! Equal rights for everyone! Nice to be out of the 1950s.."
Milla Jovovich: "Yay! Finally ppl r being treated equally! And CA is cool again!"
Elizabeth Banks: "Go Judge Walker. I can't wait to go to some seriously awesome weddings."

Thank goodness last night's softball game was just a friendly tune up for the playoffs because we definitely did not have one of our best performances.
Our fielding was spotty and we just couldn't get our bats going.
It didn't help that my pitching was a little bit on the shaky side too. In our regular season games, we don't have umpires, so there's no called balls or strikes. Last night I found out in the playoffs there are umpires, and you start with a 1-1 count for each batter.
That stressed me out a bit during last night's game, and it made me tense, which made it take way longer than normal for me to find my zone.
I guess it's good that I found out now though instead of during the playoffs.
Aside from the shoddy pitching, I did make two pretty stellar plays in the field. One batter drilled the ball right back at me (unintentionally, she apologized later) and I managed to nab it to get the out.
Another batter hit a slower bouncing ball up the middle and I was able to charge it and make the throw out at first.
I like to think those two plays make up for my lackluster pitching.
The game ended with us losing 10-7, which is a really low-scoring game for our league. I guess neither team was totally on their A-game last night.
It's hard to believe playoffs are just around the corner and that the season will be wrapping up soon. Seriously, where has this summer gone?

Alright... So I just got through installing a new control arm set on the passengers side of my 1999 1.8. I've got a load on the suspension and have been torquing down everything, and of course the last thing I have to torque down is giving me some grief. According to Haynes manual, the stabilizer link to control arm spec is 52 ft lbs. and the stabilizer link to stabilizer bar is 66 ft lbs. I got the link to control arm torqued down, but for some reason the link to stabilizer bar just keeps going and going. At first I was using one of the used original bolts because the kit didn't seem to come with enough hardware, and ended up snapping it. So now I've got a new one in there, but it's still doing the same thing and my concern is that it seems to be squashing or over compressing the bushing and I don't want to snap another bolt. Do I need to just keep going or do I have the wrong specs. So far everything else seemed to be fine but this is pissing me off!
Thanks in advance!
