Way to go. I'm getting close to being there myself
Looks like a great idea! Not sure I have any immediate ideas off the top of my head, but I can imagine this sort of thing being hugely useful when writing plugins.
Great work.
Sitebase said
The past has shown us that there are not much buyers for this category. I think it will cost Envato more to keep this category running than they earn from it.
So my vote: -1
Ah, good counter.
Personally, I think it's a great idea to have a Java category, so I'll +1 this
You could also use BuddyPress. It has a wonderful gallery plugin that is nearly identical to FaceBook's.
Nice! Looks like you're in for a good trip. Too bad it's cold here in Kansas . . .
Especially when done right, orange can really make things "pop". It's warm, smooth, and nice to look at.
Excellent work, you deserve it!
At the moment, it's a hobby (side) income for me. I make enough to pay a bill or two each month, but that's not where the real benefit comes from, at least for me.
Over the las four months, I'd attribute about 30% of my freelance work to work that I got from Code Canyon and users who bought one of my plugins and then decided they wanted customizations, or just liked my work enough to ask for more.
Also, if you're starting out as a freelancer, publishing items here on Code Canyon, or the other marketplaces, is a great way to gain exposure. By placing demos of your items on your own site, you can hugely increase your traffic flow per month.
More traffic = more work = more money.
Residual income, even just a little, is always a bonus.
I'm always interested in possible ventures

Bad News for Incumbents, Self-Financing Candidates in Most Expensive Midterm Election in U.S. History
November 4, 2010 | The priciest midterm election in U.S. history saw a Republican tide sweep numerous Democrats out of office, as voters anxious about the state of the economy ousted more House incumbents from office than any time since 1948. While several money-in-politics axioms held true, money was not a panacea for embattled politicians.

Water in oil
I got remembering a truck I used to have.It was a dodge full size with a 318 in it.
The truck allways for the year and 3mo.I owned it and the year my uncle owned it befor me would get white foam in the oil and blow pure water into the air cleaner.It never use a drop of coolant in the time I owned it nor the time my unle owned it.Nor did it blow steam out the exhuast.Also if you added motor honey or STP w/ an oil change it wouldn't get foam for 300-400mi.
Now I allways atributed it to a high milage motor getting condensation in it.
The first time I sold it the guy calls me *****ing that I sold him a blow motor.So sick of his mouth I gave him his money and said **** it.Well I sold it a couple months later and the guys been driven it for a year now.
What do ya think condensation???
This is a tough one, did this truck have a smog pump? BTW it doesn't take much water to mess up your oil, especially in a rotating assemby enviroment.
Yes the smog pump had seized and the belt had been cut befor I bought it.Also I might add that after the aircleaner got water in it I removed the tube from the cleaner and ran it to the ground like a road draft tube using a peice of heater hose.Which pretty much would rule out the pump pushing mosture back through the air cleaner.

[ January 25, 2003: Message edited by: 78 monte ]</p>
The reason I asked if this truck had a smog pump is because the only way water can get into the system is either by a crack or from vaccum. A crack would show loss of water in the system, and a blown head gasket would blow steam and show water loss.The smog pump will draw hot crankcase gases from the system and recirculate through the intake to burn. If the smog pump or a diverter valve is bad it will not allow the proper flow of gasses back through the intake to be burned. These hot PCV gasses are trapped somewhere in the emissions system and when the motor cools down the gasses condensate and draw up moisture and are pulled back into the crankcase.I have seen this happen on a Ford Maverick with a 302 that I owned. Maybe this was your problem.
That could have been,that makes sense.
Just got thinkin about it today and allways wondered what the hell was causeing it.I'm not very familar with emmissions equipment other than basic egr,pcv,converter so I never really thought of that.

On the court

have already shown their weapons.
Both betting for mens with experienced in this type definitions.
The Macabi's weapons
Hebraica Macabi
was the best team in the regular season.
Mauricio Aguiar
(197-F-83, agency:
Players Group
Joaquin Izuibejeres
(184-G-82), Passos and
Gustavo Barrera
(194-G-85) are very importants. But one of the key is
Matthew Freije
(207-F-81, agency:
Priority Sports
, college:
). He will be the best shooter in the court. If he is on fire,
Hebraica Macabi
will win.
Malvin's keys
has his strength in the three foreigners.
Christopher Jeffries
(199-F-80, college:
) is more emotionally than Freije. He likes to go get one on one and not dependent on having the hot hand to play a good game. Milles has been the revelation of
in the paint and i think that
Reque Newsome
(204-C-81, college:
) can become decisive if he involved more in offensive game.
I think that a game with high scores favors to Hebraica because their players score more easily.
is stronger in defense and in the one on one.
If I could choose I would like ... A great game , with emotions until the end and if possible that the winner can win in the last ball.
Next Friday, Uruguay will know his champion.

Rothwell vs Vera added to Ufc 164
With the teaser of Overeem returning at Ufc 164 in Milwaukee (Aug 31) and now the addition of Rothwell vs Vera..could this be the start of an all HW main card?
The Ufc wants a big card for the Harley Davidson folk, home-town boy Pettis fights earlier at 163 (Aug 3). FW (125), BW, FW, MW, title-bouts are all scheduled too close, LHW is waiting on the July 6 fight, and GSP ain't fighting in Milwaukee...
Ufc 160 HW headliner could be ready to go by then pending any injuries
I will be the first to say, neither Rothwell or Vera deserve a PPV slot, but this could be the start of something..
HW's available
Werdum/Big Nog fight June 8,
Add Cain/SIlva and JDS/Hunt winners and losers
"Two UFC veterans are targeted to meet in a fight that could very well send the loser packing from the octagon.
Multiple sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Ben Rothwell (32-9 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and Brandon Vera (12-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) are targeted to meet at UFC 164.
UFC 164 takes place Aug. 31 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee and will be the promotion's second trip to Wisconsin. The main card will air on pay-per-view, though it is not yet know if Rothwell-Vera will be part of the main card or the prelims.
The bout would be Vera's first in the heavyweight division in more than five years, in addition to his first appearance in 12 months. "The Truth" most recently appeared this past August at UFC on FOX 4, where he fought a gutsy three-round affair with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in an unofficial title eliminator. He lost via fourth-round TKO.
Debuting in the UFC as a heavyweight, Vera rocketed up the ranks with four straight wins before losses to Tim Sylvia and Fabricio Werdum sent him to the light heavyweight class. There, he struggled to build momentum, going 4-4 with one no-contest, which arose when his opponent, Thiago Silva, admitted to submitting fake urine for his drug test.
Rothwell, meanwhile, has hopscotched between wins and losses since his exit from the now-defunct IFL. Notably, he rebounded with a first-round KO of Brendan Schaub at UFC 145 before being submitted in his most recent outing by Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC on FX 7. "
Dude gets stopped by Shogun and controlled by Thiago Silva at 205....now he's going up to Heavyweight?
That's a strange one.

Probably feels he will be able to utilize his speed at heavyweight better. I expect him to fight pretty defensively. Still, if anyone gets a hold of him, I expect him to get rag dolled quite easily. He's between a rock and a hard place. At light heavyweight, he's so lanky and drawn out without much power either, and at heavyweight, well, do I need to really say anything about that?
In other news, I thought Rothwell got his walking papers? Well, I guess he hasn't lost twice in a row yet. His last performance was terrible and he was in awful shape though. Vera should win this fight easily if that Rothwell shows up.
This fight is fine with me, I have no problem with it, I will be there live to watch Vera get a win.

wow! HW isn't the undeveloped division it was back in the day Vera! Bad move!

That was Mir's 2nd fight after that horrific crash, and taken very prematurely, doesn't really count in my opinion.
I think Rothwell kills him. Vera did ok in the Shogun fight, but a win there would have been huge and he had the all-or-nothing minset required for that fight. Still got knocked out, and Rua isn't what he used to be either.
Ben isn't the fighter Shogun is, but he's just as tough and a lot bigger, his punches will hurt Vera quickly IMO.
Rothwell is a massive dude and if he gets Vera down he'll kill him. This isnt your 2006 Heavyweight division.

AACN Applauds Nomination of Distinguished Nurse Leader Marilyn Tavenner for CMS Administrator
Press Release
For Immediate Release
AACN Applauds the Nomination of Distinguished Nurse Leader
Marilyn Tavenner for CMS Administrator
WASHINGTON, DC, November 29, 2011 - The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) applauds the Obama administration for nominating Marilyn Tavenner, MHA, BSN, RN, a leading voice for health care in the US, as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In the official announcement made on November 23, 2011, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius noted that "Marilyn's distinguished career in health care and deep knowledge of our efforts to implement health reform make her the right person for this job at this moment in history. Her career as a nurse, hospital administrator, and Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources give her unique insights that position her well to serve as Administrator."
As the Principal Deputy Administrator for CMS, Ms. Tavenner is a strong candidate to lead this federal agency, following the announcement that the current CMS Administrator Don Berwick, MD, MPP is stepping down. She brings a high-level working knowledge of the agency and its initiatives having served as Acting Administrator prior to her current appointment. Ms. Tavenner will again serve as the Acting Administrator after Dr. Berwick's departure.
"Ms. Tavenner will bring a holistic view of the healthcare system to CMS, a federal agency that provides coverage to nearly one in every three Americans," said AACN CEO Geraldine "Polly" Bednash, PhD, RN, FAAN. "If confirmed, she will be a catalyst for change by helping to ensure access to high quality care for millions of individuals most in need of healthcare services. AACN is proud to see a nursing colleague nominated for this prestigious and influential national role."
AACN thanks both Dr. Berwick and Ms. Tavenner for their continued commitment to improving America's healthcare system.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for university and four-year college education programs in nursing. Representing more than 670 member schools of nursing at public and private institutions nationwide, AACN's educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications, and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's- and graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education, research, and practice. www.aacn.nche.edu.

Adidas: Stumbling over Reebok?
Adidas Group's motto is "Impossible Is Nothing." But since the No. 2 sporting-goods maker announced in August, 2005, that it would snap up rival Reebok for $3.8 billion to gain a firmer footing in the U.S. and challenge market leader Nike (NKE), the company has yet to prove that the combo will work.
Even Adidas (ADDDY) seems to be admitting it's a slog. As the Herzogenaurach (Germany) company announced on Mar. 7 that profits increased 26%, to $636.6 million, in 2006, it admitted that Reebok "didn't deliver the earnings accretion it had anticipated." Adidas singled out Reebok as the primary cause for a 3.6-percentage-point dip in the group's gross margin, to 44.6%. Reebok brand sales fell 9% last year, to $3.3 billion, while sales of other units, including Adidas shoes and apparel and TaylorMade-Adidas Golf equipment, rose 14%, to $10 billion.
True to its mantra, however, Adidas says it's racing flat-out to make its tie-up with Reebok a winner. The company has closed factories in Indonesia and is repositioning the Reebok brand to widen its appeal. "Our focus this year will be on getting Reebok back onto a growth track," Adidas Chief Executive Herbert Hainer said in a statement. "It's going to take time, but we're moving in the right direction."
Bad Combo
As part of that move, the company is ramping up its sales and marketing efforts. It's reducing reliance on low-traffic, shopping-mall-based outlets and placing Reebok apparel and footwear in higher-end department stores and larger sporting-goods ventures. Adidas has also enlisted star NFL quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning, actress Scarlett Johansson, and other famous faces to help launch a series of new products planned in the second quarter.
The company says it expects these efforts to increase sales of the Reebok brand this year in the "low-single-digit" range. Adidas expects its gross margin in 2007 to be between 45% and 47%, thanks to "improvements in all three brand segments." For the group, the company expects sales in 2007 to grow in the "mid-single-digit" range.
Promising stuff, but a successful result isn't a surefire bet. Consider Adidas' ill-fated purchase of the French-owned Salomon group a decade ago, which brought ski and golf gear into its stable of offerings. After numerous attempts to make the match work, Adidas jettisoned the Salomon ski business in October, 2005. The company made the right move by keeping Salomon's TaylorMade golf brand: Last year, sales of TaylorMade-Adidas Golf wares rose 22%, better growth than for either the Adidas or Reebok brands.
"Good Strategy"
While many may still question the cultural fit of the American-German corporate tie-up, the Adidas-Reebok combo offers benefits the Salomon merger never could. For example, Reebok's products complement Adidas' traditional strength in sports such as soccer and give the German company some big-name basketball endorsements from the likes of Allen Iverson.
Reebok is also strong in women's and lifestyle fashions and has a strong nationwide distribution network. "Reebok is still a drag overall, but it seems management has a good strategy to get it back on track and the plan isn't out of reach," says David Meyer, an analyst as Susquehanna Finance in New York. Although Adidas this year will gain some synergies on the cost side, Meyer expects the first real benefits from the merger to come through next year. "That's a long time for investors [to wait]," he notes.
Tough Competition
Archrival Nike sure hasn't waited for Adidas to score with Reebok. The Beaverton (Ore.) sneaker Goliath recently offered the German Soccer Federation nearly $700 million to sponsor its national soccer team for 10 years—an attempt to rattle Adidas, the longtime sponsor of the German team. Nike CEO Mark Parker upped the boldness quotient again on Feb. 6, when he outlined an ambitious plan to increase revenues by $8 billion in five years, to $23 billion. What's more, Nike executives have publicly stated they want to be the world's dominant soccer supplier by 2010 and have introduced a series of innovative moves, such as a partnership with Apple (AAPL) to connect Nike runners with iTunes.
Nike also has been trying to boost its presence in the low-cost sneaker market and among female shoppers. It recently featured soccer stars Brandi Chastain and Hope Solo, as well as world-renowned volleyball player Logan Tom, at a New York press event to help launch Tailwind, a women's performance footwear and accessories brand that will be sold exclusively at Payless ShoeSource (PSS).
Adidas may have upped the ante with its purchase of Reebok, but with shares down 10% since the merger was announced and Nike not standing still, the sportswear maker still has to show that the deal has legs.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thank you for writing in today. I want to provide you with the best possible information; therefore, I do have a few questions.
Is this regarding a person smoking marijuana while pregnant?
Is this person concerned that the baby will test positive for marijuana when the baby is delivered?
Can you just give me the basic scenario?
Please let me know.
Ms. Lisa
I understand. I'll try to address them in order. Yes, some people in third world countries do use marijuana for nausea and appetite stimulation. Generally, during pregnancy, THC and it's metabolites do not cross the maternal/fetal barrier, until late in the third trimester. A mother will test positive for TCH roughly 30 days after exposed, general estimate. At birth, depending on maturation and metabolic functioning, some newborns may test positive. Also, the placenta may show signs of smoking. More and more hospitals are testing for drugs at time of delivery. There is some evidence that marijuana use can cause low birth weight, similar to cigarette use. Also, some evidence indicates that younger mothers may deliver earlier when using marijuana. However, research is conflicting in this area. It is best for a mother to stop smoking marijuana while pregnant. It's is especially important to quit in the third trimester when the baby is most susceptible to TCH and metabolites. I am attaching a link for you review.
I hope this was helpful. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know.
The third trimester goes from week 28 to delivery. A habitual smoker would likely have more THC in their system than someone who has only smoked twice. The general assumption is that TCH will be detected in urine for 30 days, this can be longer or shorter in some. For the occasional user, it is usually not as long, ranging from 10-14 days detectable; however, every person is different an the body purges the metabolites differently. Although it is usually shorter, an occasional user can test positive longer, up to 30 days.
Hope this helps.
Drug testing depends on the hospital. Newborn drug screening can be done with urine or meconium (poop). They can also have the placenta evaluated, in addition to the urine and meconium. Generally, if a child tests positive for drugs at time of birth, Child Protective Services or Social Services are contacted. I have seen children placed in foster care after birth due to drug use. I would strongly advise against any further marijuana smoking even with 49-63 days left till delivery. First of all, the fetus is more susceptible to marijuana. Secondly, smoking marijuana can be considered unfit parenting; if testing positive, this could result in legal and custodial problems. Flushing the body with fluids does not guarantee that THC will not be detected when tested.
Thank you for responding. What you are asking now are legal question, which I can't answer, since I am not a legal expert. However, I can transfer this to the legal expert category, but it may be easier if you start a new question in the legal category. Let me know if you want me to transfer this question over, or if you want to start the new question with them.
Let me know.
No, that is not necessarily true. Fetal circulation and metabolism is different from the maternal circulation and metabolism. Maternal flushing will not have the same exact effect on the baby.
Did you want me to transfer this over to the legal department? They should be able to tell you about the laws in your state.
It depends on the policy of the hospital and the state. I've worked at hospitals that test all newborns. However, I don't know about your location. If it is a state law or there are criteria for testing, the legal experts would know, if you provided them with the state in question.
Yes, it could be less. This discussion has exceeded a routine question. Multiple questions have been answered; however, I don't mind, but you will need to open another discussion with the law experts.
You're welcome. I hope the information was helpful.
As for accepting, each time you hit accept, that will count as a charge for the question. Sometimes, people will ask many questions and hit accept more than one. Just be aware that each time you click accept that you are paying for the answers to the questions, even if it's all one page. Hope that clarifies it for you. I can be confusing sometimes.
Have a great evening.

She has continued to run the Brighton Club, a group that offers entertainment for blind veterans in house, including a weekly Wednesday dominos club and an annual bowls week.
The Ovingdean centre has been a key part of Blind Veterans UK's work since 1938, when the charity was known as St. Dunstan's. In that time, it has offered comprehensive support for thousands of blind veterans. Thousands of veterans travel from all over the country each year to receive life changing support from Blind Veterans UK in Brighton. We are proud of the quality of our services, and we want to celebrate with the wider community all that we achieve through this spectacular light display.

Kylie on show

Kylie Minogue unveils her costume exhibition at the Melbourne Arts Centre.
Photo: Angela Wylie
Pop diva Kylie Minogue is to bring her Show Girl: Greatest Hits Tour to Australia in May and June.
Tickets will go on sale on January 31 for the show which will open in Sydney on May 20 and then travel to Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide before finishing in Perth on June 12.
London-based Kylie announced the tour in Melbourne on Friday at the opening of an exhibition of costumes and personal memorabilia she has donated to the Arts Centre.
The collection charts Kylie's career from the denim overalls she wore as Charlene in Neighbours to the impossibly tight golden hot pants made famous in the video to her 2000 hit Spinning Around.
At the Arts Centre, Kylie said she was amazed at the reverential treatment her costumes were getting from the collection's curators, who all wore gloves to handle the items.
She said she had come in to look at the exhibition and could not resist touching a massive black feathered headdress she called "the crow".
"I put my hand straight on it and one of the girls working here said 'Oh - you are the only one who is allowed to do that'," she said.
Kylie's parents approached the Arts Centre with the proposal for the exhibition and the star said they would be pleased to get rid of all the boxes they were stored in at their house.
More than 300 items have been donated to the centre's Performing Arts section and, once the current exhibition is over, they will go on rotation alongside outfits from that other Aussie glamour Queen Dame Edna Everage.
Asked to nominate a favourite outfit, Kylie couldn't single one out.
"Every one of them has just a myriad of memories for me," she said.
"I didn't think I would be so emotional."
But not all of the memories were happy ones and she pointed out a black dress with lace up sides that she wore on her 2002 tour.
"I used to panic every night getting into that dress," she said.
"I'm sure most of them were uncomfortable at one point or another but I love them all."
Most of the outfits are on open display, but the gold hot pants are safe from prying hands behind protective glass.
Kylie said she was excited at the prospect of bringing her tour to Australia.
"It's a greatest hits tour so we are trying to put in as many as we can, which I have to say is a far cry from the first and second tours that I ever did where we didn't even have enough songs let alone hits," she said.
The display of Kylie outfits and memorabilia at the Arts Centre ends on April 25 and then goes on a tour to Canberra, Brisbane and Sydney.

French court backs ban on comedy show deemed anti-Semitic
PARIS (Reuters) - A French court upheld a ban on a show scheduled in the central city of Tours for Friday by a comedian accused of insulting the memory of Holocaust victims, the second performance in a nationwide tour to be banned.
France's highest administrative court rejected an appeal by lawyers for comedian Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, which came after the opening show in the western city of Nantes was prohibited by a last-minute court ruling on Thursday.
Lawyer Sanjay Mirabeau criticized the decision and said the comedian may try to seek a compromise to get around the ban, notably by changing its name or pledging to remove offensive sketch material.
"We're reaching the point of absurdity when we need to appeal to the Council of State, France's most prestigious judicial institution, to rule on what is funny or not," said Mirabeau following his hearing.
In addition to Nantes, Tours and seven other cities which have banned the show on a planned 28-city tour, authorities are seeking to stop Dieudonne performing the show at a Paris theatre, La Main d'Or, a sort of headquarters for him.
A court in the city of Orleans near Paris, where Dieudonne is due to perform on Saturday, will rule early in the day on whether to uphold a ban proposed by local authorities.
Dieudonne, 46, has been repeatedly fined for "hate speech" and local authorities in several towns across France have barred his shows on the grounds of risk to public order.
His lawyer, Jacques Verdier, has argued that a ban on his client performing would breach his freedom of speech.
The appeals court's decision is a victory for Interior Minister Manuel Valls and President Francois Hollande, who had called for local authorities to take a hard line in determining whether or not to ban the shows. Continued...

Sep 13, 2009
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The BSC women's soccer team dropped the final match of the 2009 Birmingham-Southern Soccer Classic today, 1-0 to Berry College.
Berry got on the board in the 32nd-minute when Kristen Brooks got a rebounded point-blank shot at #Amber Hernandez# in front of the goal. The Panthers were out-shot 18-8 on the day with Berry's keeper earning just two saves.
Hernandez played well in goal for BSC, stopping 13 goals in the effort with just the single goal allowed in 90 minutes.
Coach Walton was positive after the match: "This weekend was a really good test for our team. We played two very good sides and hung right in and gave us a chance to win each game, we just came up short on the finishing end. We are a young side, and we are learning a ton with each game. I am proud of the way the girls hung in. If we can find our stride I really like our chances the rest of the way. It's always tough to lose hard fought games, but I am proud of the way these young players are growing up."
Sewanee took the tournament championship earlier in the day, as they defeated Mississippi College 2-0 in the 1:00 game.
The Panthers will return to BSC Soccer Park on Friday when they host the Emory University Eagles at 7:00 p.m.

AbstractDuring this program Fiber Materials, Inc. (FMI) will develop innovative yet practical methods for preparing Phenolic Impregnated Felt (PIF) materials for thermal protection system (TPS) segments and heat shield assemblies. Future mission flight environments and designs, such as those anticipated for Mars EDL missions, will require a variety TPS options to accommodate entry system designs. The capability of the developed PIF solutions will address various vehicle shapes, integration methods and the ability to deploy a flexible TPS. Testing of mechanical and thermal robustness, heat exposure and surface recession under representative mission conditions will be conducted in a two phase program approach. The Phase I program will assess materials, designs and processing options that can be cost effectively manufactured and assembled. The material approaches, design options, fabrication/assembly methods, Phase II work plan, Phase II proposal and final report are delivered at the conclusion of the Phase I program. During the Phase II program, a mission-applicable PIF TPS utilizing the developed material system will be demonstrated and tested under representative flight conditions. The proposed materials, designs and methods are currently TRL¡� 3. It is anticipated that TRL ¡à 5 will be achieved at the conclusion of a successful Phase I and Phase II program.

Director: Todd Phillips
Writer: Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong
Stars: Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, Jeremy Piven, Ellen Pompeo, Craig Kilborn, Leah Remini
Quotable: [After funneling a beer] "Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!"
Fun Fact: The guy who played the father of Ferrell's character's wife is actually the Ferrells' real-life accountant.
If not for the unfortunate casting of Luke Wilson as the film's lead protagonist, Old School would rank much higher on this list. This is a celebration of great comedy, though, so let's ignore Wilson's dull ass for the time being, which isn't tough to do at all. Old School, Todd Phillips' best film, lets Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell run wild as Wilson's more dynamic counterparts.
Away from his partner-in-laughs Adam McKay for a change, Ferrell scores the deepest chuckles, whether he's streaking while inebriated or shooting a tranquilizer dart into his neck. Old School solidified both him and Vaughn as two of this generation's comedy giants. As for Luke Wilson, he's just blessed by association.

Field Specialties
Modern French social and cultural history; labor history; social theory
My work has two distinct foci: (1) the history of early modern and modern Europe and (2) the relationship between history and social theory. My empirical historical research concerns French social, labor, political, and cultural history, particularly in the revolutions of 1789, 1830, and 1848. I am currently working on the relationship between eighteenth-century capitalism and the cultural origins of the French Revolution. Over the past fifteen years, much of my writing and teaching has centered on the development of a theoretical vocabulary that simultaneously speaks to history and the other social sciences. Most of this work is now published in Logics of History: Social Theory and Social Transformation (University of Chicago Press, 2005)
My courses are generally cross listed with Political Science; many of them focus on theoretical approaches or problems in interdisciplinary historical studies. Although the history of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France often figures somewhere in these courses, they usually include cases drawn from various regions of the world and from different historical periods. I have also recently taught more conventionally historical courses on the old regime and the French revolution and on the emergence of capitalism in early modern Europe.

Orange offering free BlackBerry Internet Service
Business customers seem to get some pretty good deals from special promotions and plan discounts that the average wireless subscriber only dreams. Orange UK is actually providing an even better deal for their business customers in a challenging environment. They are offering free BlackBerry Internet Service for the life of their voice contract to any business customer signing up in February or March. This also offer is available to any new or existing customers purchasing a BlackBerry device. Its mind boggling trying to fathom the amount of money they would save during the term of their contract. Orange UK's Director of small and medium business, Martin Lyne, stated that "the offer is designed to give their customers a little of a financial break."

Help with organization of kid stuff/
Iowa caucus for Americans today. I'm really curious about how things will go. [Confession: I am so not paying attention to anyone but the top three contenders on each side, and confused the candidate Ron Paul with rapper Sean Paul (turn down your speakers if you're at work). And every time I saw a "Ron Paul for President" sign I thought it was an ad for a new album coming out. I only figured they're two different people the other day while watching CNN. Duh.]
Can we talk about organization? I am not a great organizer in general, and was barely holding on with the new holiday influx of toys. But yesterday my older son brought home a beautiful little pinch pot from his art class at school. And I realized I was going to have to start really processing 3D art projects and figuring out what to do with them. (I've been putting the drawings and paintings into file folders and saving them.)
So I guess what I'm looking for is ideas from those of you who are good at this sort of thing. I could use ideas on processing the unbelievable amounts of clothing we end up with, the toys, the art projects, and the seasonal stuff. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like it's all getting away from her.
I wish I could just shove it all into an attic or a garage, but I don't have either of those right now. (I'd be willing to bet there are readers who could use tips on organizing basements, attics, and garages, if you've got any ideas for that.) And I watched a show about hoarders that scared the living crap out of me, and now I'm actually afraid I'll get rid of too much stuff in an effort not to end up with stuff that runs my life.
What do you keep and what do you get rid of? How do you manage and store the kid stuff you do want to keep? Will I magically become organized if I buy a labelmaker?
Thank you.

The Great Zombie Hunt South Florida
Themed Events, Inc
Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 1:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
The Great Zombie Hunt is a completely unique 5k mud run & obstacle course, with a very special mission: to eliminate zombies by shooting at them with laser tags and paintball guns. You will jump hurdles, dive into mud, and avoid infection-spreading zombies, while holding onto your health flags in a challenging mud-filled race. We guarantee it will be 100% pure fun!
The 5K course navigates open fields, water crossings, rugged roads, steep hills, and compound buildings. Each racer will be given two health flags. The main objective of the race is to finish the course with the fastest time, while still holding on to at least one flag. The zombies will try to infect you by stealing your flags. If you cross the finish line without a flag, your time will not count, and you will be doomed to roam the earth as one of the undead. If you have been wounded (a flag was stolen), you will need to find a medic post where you can be treated and given an antidote (a flag) to continue on your mission. You can also retrieve flags that are hidden inside the compounds, but you will need to be sneaky about it to outwit the J-virus zombies.
Unique concept
This is a completely unique concept! In this race there are two types of zombies: J virus infected and P virus infected. Zombies infected by J virus have been dead for a while and have fully completed their cycle of infection meaning there is no hope of curing them. They hide inside special compounds that once were medical labs used to produce the antidote. P virus-infected zombies, on the other hand, are starting to show signs of infection, but they can still be cured. Your mission is to eliminate the J virus strain with laser tags and paintball guns and then reach the finish line to save zombies that are infected by the P virus, before it's too late.

The mobile phone market may slowly be cannibalising MP3 player growth but there's always room for a decent budget player or two...
Sticking to its alphabetic naming system Sony has announced the 'B Series' and 'E Series' Walkman lines - both designed to make barely more than a dint in your wallet (though without actually naming the pricing).
Each straddles tried and tested formulas. First up, the B Series is the latest in a long line of Sony USB drive based players with a direct USB connection, mass storage support for drag and drop data transfer and a healthy 18 hour battery life. Handily just a three minute charge will also power up to 90 minutes of listening. Take that iPod shuffle.
As for the E Series this treads the usual fussy-iPod-nano-look that Sony has just about perfected over the years. It sports a 2in QVGA colour display, an FM tuner, drag and drop content support and plays the usual array of audio and video formats including WMA and WMV. A Walkman first also sees "support for video file format conversion via the supplied Content Transfer software" eliminating the need for third party solutions.
Sony keeps up its usual high battery standards with up to 30 hours of music or six hours of continuous video playback from a single charge. Capacities will range up to 16GB.
Both the Sony Walkman B Series and E Series will go on sale from the end of July with what we can only assume will be reasonable RRPs...

At this year's Home For Good Summit, Peter Lynn from the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles was recognized as Los Angeles County's Trailblazer! Peter plays an essential role at the Housing Authority, leading the way with new and innovative strategies for ending chronic and veteran homelessness.
1. What is your role at the Housing Authority?
I'm the Director of Section 8 for the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles. It's my role to ensure that we operate the Authority's rental assistance programs with excellence on all HUD metrics while meeting the housing needs of very low income and homeless Angelenos. The income-eligible population outnumbers our available assistance by about 10 to one, so the challenge is to balance the use of these critical resources against the wide variety of housing needs in our community, which includes tens of thousands of homeless, many with deep supportive service needs. Section 8 is a complex, thoroughly regulated program that brings together many political, public and non-profit partners, as well as our landlord community. It's a joy to run on behalf of the people of Los Angeles.
2. Why did you first get involved in the issue of homelessness?
I started working on housing assistance for people with special challenges, including homelessness, in 2001 with the Section 8 program of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, after being displaced from my own home following the World Trade Center attack.
3. Tell us about one innovation you've initiated at HACLA in the last year that you believe has made a big impact.
There were several initiatives last year I'm proud of, from our working group to collaboratively address barriers to access to housing for the homeless, to extending almost 500 more Shelter Plus Care units by maximizing the grant funding available, to transferring almost 500 SPC residents who no longer required the program's high level of supportive services into our tenant-based voucher program, freeing those units for chronically homeless individuals who need them.
4. In a movie about your life, what actor would play you?
Wait, are you saying I can't have the role? Get my agent on the phone.
Do you like this post?

In order to cover these eventualities, payday advances may give a solution. Keep reading to learn more about payday cash advances.
In order to avoid excessive fees, shop around before taking out an online payday loan.

Hello all!
I just came upon this site yesterday and have been obsessively reading all the posts. Just found the New York Section now!
Anyhow, a quick biography of me:
37 years Old
Live in Fairport
Grew up hunting from the time my Dad dragge dme aup a treestand with a rope.
Hunt deer in Steuben County in between keuka Lake and Waneta/Lamoka Lakes.
LOVE waterfowl hunting. Try to get out duck and goose hunting as much as possible. Starting to do some scouting in the Wildlife Management Areas around Rochester. Currently trying to get myself up to date on equipment as in the past I have relied on other. Now I find that if I want to hunt, I need to take care of it myself.
Always interested in meeting new hunters from New York!
Good to be here. :getdown:

Robber bites ear of victim after taking money, cellphone
by: Tina Terry Updated:
SALISBURY, N.C. - A Salisbury man told police he was mobbed by robbers and part of his ear was bitten off during the robbery.
It happened just after 10 p.m. Wednesday. Police told Eyewitness News two men were walking near Monroe Street when they noticed a group of about 10 unruly men near Livingstone College.
The men told police that the suspects chased them, punched one of them, stole their money and bit off part of his ear before running away.
Police were unsure, but said they were investigating whether the crime was connected to another just one week ago.
"A group of guys came our way and pulled out guns and said do you have any money," said a Livingstone College student and victim of the crime that took place Oct. 26.
The three victims of this crime, all students at Livingstone College, said they were on West Innes Street walking to get dinner when a group of about six men, also wearing bandannas and Halloween masks, approached them.
Police said they were increasing patrols in the area of Livingstone College after the latest incident. They asked people walking in that area at night to be aware of their surroundings.

Camp Pasquaney is a summer camp for boys ages 12 - 16 on Newfound Lake in Hebron, New Hampshire.
"For most of us, Pasquaney remains the spot where we felt we came fully alive … where away from the distractions of mercenary competition and superficial worldly values, we've been able to make deep and lasting friendships; where we've been moved to emulate the best qualities of boys and men whom we admired and with whom we shared experiences; and finally, where we've learned (to our relief!) that emphasis on traditional moral standards is in no way incompatible with fun, humor, wit, athletic excellence, ambition."

Oct. 2, 2008
BY Jonathan Crompton, For SN Today
It's tough being where we're at. That's why we have to come together as a team and overcome this start.
Personally, I know I have to play better in order to give us a chance to win. It's frustrating because I have been practicing really well, but that hasn't translated to the games. There are several different aspects I need to improve on, but like I said, I just have to do a better job to give our team a better shot.
The quarterback competition this week, that's part of it. It's something I have to do for the team right now. Coach Dave Clawson, our offensive coordinator, talked to me in his office about it. He just told me, `Hey, this is something we have to do.' And I understand, because I haven't been playing up to my ability.
My family and friends have been doing a really good job supporting me through this, and they always will. I'm focused on keeping our guys up, too. That's part of quarterbacking. You have to be a leader. You have to make sure you have your head up no matter what.
Right now, my goal is to go out there and work hard, play better and player smarter. That's what Nick (Stephens) and I both are doing, just going out there every day to get better.
There's been some negative talk in the media about coach Phillip Fulmer and our performance, but for all that guys that are here, for the guys in the locker room, he is Tennessee football. That's all we've known growing up, is Coach Fulmer. He built the program to what we know it, so people shouldn't judge him on our 1-3 start.
We're just trying to stay together as a team. We're not trying to point fingers at anybody. We win as a team and we lose as a team. Everybody knows that last year we started out slow, and we ended up in the SEC championship game. This year, we're off to a slow start, but we can still end up in the championship game if we put our minds to it.

The fourth leading cause of death for Americans, strokes can be prevented up to 80 percent of the time, according to the National Stroke Association. So how do you lower your stroke risk? Know your risk factors and actively work to reduce them.
What Is A Stroke?
To Spot Stroke Signs,Think FAST
Do you know how to spot the signs of a stroke? On National Stroke Alert Day, May 7, 2013, Mills-Peninsula is partnering with Bay Area emergency and health organizations to educate our community about the warning signs of stroke and the necessity of calling 9-1-1 if symptoms are present.
Using the FAST acronym is an easy way to recognize a stroke and know what to do if you see someone exhibiting the signs, according to Jenny Fung, R.N., the coordinator of Mills-Peninsula's Stroke Program.
Face: Look for an uneven smile
Arm: Check if one arm is weak
Speech: Listen for slurred speech
Time: Call 9-1-1 immediately if there is any one of these symptoms
"Look for sudden changes — a facial droop, arm weakness, change in speech," Fung says. "If you see any one of these stroke signs, call 911 – don't try to drive the person to the ER yourself. Time is brain. Every minute counts." Read More about To Spot Stroke Signs,Think FAST

Good but missing...

Comments about oreilly Professional Java for Web Applications:
I bought the book in order to learn about JEE, hoping it would be complete and easy enough to follow.The content, the topics the author talks about are good and helpful.But.It has code samples and projects for both the Eclipse and IDEA IDEs. The problem is that it misses steps to gather all that is needed to follow the book! For instance, the code samples are for Java 8, but the Java EE SDK7 comes with Java SE SDK 7, not 8. Also other instructions for setting the compiler and the debugger for Tomcat are not clear enough. And the online resources are not helpful.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered one of Tommie's Holsters and it got to me Monday. I have been wearing the CW9 in it since then and I have to say, Tommy is getting better and better at making holsters. They are a variant of the CBST but are less expensive and just great holsters. I forget I even have it on.
I would recommend anyone to give his site a look if you are looking for a really good IWB holster. His turnaround time between ordering and you getting it is about a week. Give him a look:
Theisholsters.com | Home | Custom IWB Holsters
I will post pics of the holster soon, when I find the time to actually take them and post them.

I see that the covered rear window continues to haunt MPC. This is still the most produced kit I can think of, having been a Charger, a Charger 500, and a prolific Dukes of Hazzard run. It can be built as several trim levels, and no doubt most MOPAR fans buy at least six to make them with. The missing link in this series has been the 70 Charger, which has upswept fender tops and a chrome surround grill design. A little extra tooling could make a great movie car. After all, that fake and phony movie I didn't mention did portray one cool car among the other actors.
