CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
There will be an overhead to creating short file names, it's worse if there are large numbers of files with similar names.
In your case, I think there's a different problem with DiscUtils. The WIM support doesn't expose short names stored in WIM files right now. I'll create a work item to add short file name support for WIM files.
When that's available, you probably want to disable automatic short file name creation (which will be quite slow) and instead create the short names from the ones stored in the WIM file.
I've uploaded a preview release of version 0.9 that includes support for accessing the short file names containing in WIM files:

A nagging problem for all web sites, especially news sites, are trolls. No, not those gummy looking man-beasts that got in Frodo's way. The bitterfolk who post vitriolic, racist, hateful — and in many cases anonymous — comments on our content files.
A few months back, we switched our commenting tool over to Facebook. Our goal was to respond to exasperated readers who were frustrated by faceless avatars riddling PE.com stories with venom, much of it profane, much of it racist or sexist and much of it just flat-out wrong. As a news site, we're not big fans of censorship, but we just couldn't keep pace with all the hateful name-calling, threats and misinformation. And we simply don't have time to chase down the conversations that have little or nothing to do with the stories that purportedly started them.
The theory with Facebook posting — most commenters post as themselves, not an anonymous nickname — and, thus, they are less likely to curse, fume, threaten, etc.
The Facebook option isn't perfect — anonymous posts and naughty words do slip through sometimes. And it has cost us some commenters who believe that "no name" posting is their right. But above all, it has elevated the conversation to some degree. And it has cut down the "strafing runs" of attack-commenters bashing any commenter trying to play by the rules and address the actual issue raised in the story.
Google is offering up a new option to try to tackle the trolls. Mike Isaac writes about the change on All Things Digital today.
Google has added its Google+ social media tool to its Play store, where Android Apps are sold and distributed.
Google's problem is a bit different from our's. Reviews of their Apps are often overrun with hateful, off-point reviews. But their solution is in the same ballpark — if you must use your name and face when reviewing a product, perhaps you will be more thoughtful, more thorough, more focused. And perhaps you will be less likely to drop F-bombs and threaten to blow things up.
Why would people assessing software behave this way? Well, it appears people are most likely to misbehave when no one really know who they are. And, like sports fans and part-time political pundits, emotions can run high among techheads.
While we'd like to live in a world where folks just treat each other with courtesy — regardless of icon, avatar, goofy nickname or real-live identity — that isn't likely to happen before Christmas. So we wish Google luck. And we hope they take such steps with YouTube, a third-party provider that we partner with to house our videos, to clean up its commenting junkyard next.
And, meanwhile, we love when you comment on PE.com. We love when you consider us "my web site," just like when we hear you refer to The Press-Enterprise as "your newspaper." But please treat the comment field as you would your dinner table, your coffee shop or your service club. Please treat the other folks around the table with respect.

A/N: I've tried to make this story canon compliant, although I'm ignoring the interviews (translation: there will be hints of Neville/Luna later). It starts in HBP and will continue through DH.
Also, I am using US spelling. I hope no one has a problem with that.
Warning: Rated T for profanity and violence in later chapters.
At the end of the second DADA class, Professor Snape stopped Neville as he headed out the door.
"Longbottom, stay after class for a moment."
Neville swallowed, and Hermione shot him a sympathetic look. She had partnered with him for the lesson as before, surreptitiously coaching him on his nonverbal spells. He still hadn't successfully cast one, but neither had anyone else besides Hermione, so at least he wasn't conspicuous as the worst student. Still, Snape had probably found something to cavil about.
After the rest of the pupils cleared out of the classroom, Snape rose from his chair, but remained behind his desk.
"It's a relief to know that you won't destroy any more cauldrons, Longbottom," he began, folding his hands behind his back. "I should hope you're better at casting spells than brewing potions. You certainly couldn't be any shoddier."
Snape paused, and Neville squirmed in the silence.
"I see that you were fortunate enough to purchase a new wand before Mr. Ollivander vanished," continued Snape. "I understand that you broke your father's wand, but it's for the best that you did."
Neville blinked in surprise. He had told only his friends about the broken wand. Snape must have heard the story somewhere, but he had heard incorrectly. Either that or he automatically assumed the worst of Neville. Either way, Neville wanted to set the record straight.
"I didn't break it. One of the Death Eaters did."
Snape stared for a moment with piercing black eyes. Neville wondered, not for the first time, if Snape was a Legillimens.
"I see. In any case, you now have a wand that suits you, so you no longer have an excuse for your trollish incompetence."
For Snape's information, Neville had not received a single Troll for his OWLs.
He had, however, received Dreadful scores for his Potions and Divination OWLs.
"Like it or not, you are a wizard, and it's past time for you to get serious about controlling your magic."
"I've been serious!" blurted Neville.
Snape arched his eyebrow. "Then prove it. No more slacking and making catastrophic blunders. And stop relying so much on Granger. She won't always be around to hold your hand and whisper in your ear."
Neville glowered at Snape. The professor didn't seem as frightening as he had when Neville was 13. That was before Neville had faced real Death Eaters like Dolohov and Lestrange. He would have liked to retort, but he failed to come up with anything witty. He knew he probably wouldn't think of any zingers until he lay down to sleep that night.
So he merely said, "I'll do my best to improve, sir, but not for your sake."
"Fair enough. You're dismissed." Snape waved his hand in a shooing motion.
Neville hoped Snape wouldn't form a habit of lecturing him after class. Come to think of it, though, if that were the worst thing that transpired all year, it would be the best term in Hogwarts history.
As Neville walked toward the Great Hall, Luna and Ginny flagged him down.
"Hi, Neville. Have you spoken with Harry about the DA?" asked Luna.
"Not yet." Neville hadn't even tried to converse with Harry since they'd left the train. Harry always seemed preoccupied with something else.
"You know," said Ginny, "you could have DA meetings without him."
Luna and Neville shared a dubious look.
"I don't know," said Neville. "Harry's always been the best at Defense."
"That doesn't matter." She flipped her long hair over her shoulder. "You can still practice whatever you're learning in class during your free time."
"It's not the same without Harry," sighed Luna.
"Oh, you two just need a bit of self-confidence. Take it from me." Ginny gave them a reassuring smile. "If I can learn to get on without Harry, so can you."
Luna was on her way to Potions class when the wonted noise of derisive laughter reached her ears. Curious and concerned, she quickened her pace until she saw about a dozen teens gathered round Argus Filch. The man's face was as scarlet as a fire slug. He sounded like he was striving to bawl through a mouthful of peanut butter.
"What's the matter?" Luna asked anyone who would listen.
"Don't know, but it's funny as hell," answered Romilda Vane.
"I don't think hell is funny at all. Or perhaps you mean funny as in strange?" Luna regarded Vane.
The Gryffindor girl rolled her eyes and turned her back on Luna.
Shrugging, Luna directed her attention to the school caretaker. While everyone else loathed Filch, Luna had always pitied him. She could imagine how frustrating it would be to possess no magical abilities in a wizard's world. Even after he sided with Umbridge last term, Luna didn't hold it against him.
She plucked her wand from behind her ear and aimed it at Filch. "Finite Incantatem!"
The man's tongue loosened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "WHEN I FIND OUT WHICH ONE OF YOU HOODLUMS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, I'LL GIVE YOU DETENTIONS FOR THE REST OF THE TERM!"
The students dispersed, some of them muttering "Lame" and "Loony."
Filch turned his focus on Luna, his visage returning to a pale peach hue.
"Do you know who did that to me, Lovegood?"
"No, Mr. Filch. But it appears to have been a curse that I haven't learned yet, so it was probably a Sixth or Seventh year."
His lips stretched in a genuine smile. "I don't care what anyone says, Lovegood, you've got a good head on your shoulders."
A/N: I think that Snape was probably a better DADA teacher than a Potions teacher, because he really wanted to teach DADA. During his few teaching scenes in HBP, he isn't too harsh with anyone except Harry (and Ron, to a lesser degree).
And I don't know how IC anyone is, but I hope they're close enough.

Basically – what were people thinking?! Maybe it was the trends during the release time?
But when you give these a listen you will really want to know how did these songs make it to the top spot in the music charts?
Most are annoying ear worms that you want to scratch out of your ear. Let's review those times that the public had absolutely no musical taste whatsoever:
Mr Blobby – 1993
Mr Blobby, Destiny Music
It is an unknown logic that exists within this universe that enabled this AWFUL song to reach number 1 in the UK charts. Not once, but twice!
This novelty song knocked Meat Loaf off a seven week run at number 1 in December 1993. The nation's ears thought they had found relief when Take That took the number 1 spot a week later.
But for some inexplicable reason the British public put Mr Blobby back at number 1 for the Christmas. Mr Blobby was the side-kick character of Noel Edmonson in his TV show Noel's House Party.

you have to love the ND400 and the ability to create a peopleless image during the daytime, great shot.
There actually weren't any people there when I took the shot..how lucky was that ;0)
Love the colour in the water and the icey flat blueness of it. Can you see through the ND400 to compose….LOL
During the day it's not a problem, but it's not so good at sunset and sunrise…But I'm getting good at guessing now..lol
You ought to try a black bin liner LOL.
That's a thought – would be a lot bloody cheaper too..lol
Fantastic capture!
I've toyed with the idea of using the lens out of a pair of sungless's……would make the optics interesting.
That would be cool..go on…do it!!
Wow… great work…. love the colour! : )

As part of my efforts to promote my 12 for '12 project and its first Kickstarter drive (which is up to 191% and lurching toward unlocking Book 2!), I'm doing a bit of a blog tour. Today, I have guest posts that went up on two different websites, and in both cases, I wrote about writing fast.
Over at SFSignal, I wrote a piece called "The Speed of Write." It's about how you can write fast and still write well. That's a concept many people have a hard time grokking, especially when they read about how one great writer or another spent years and years on one of their favorite books. They figure that if long development equals a good project, than the reverse must be true, meaning fast books are rotten.
Of course, that's not true. Speed doesn't have much to do with quality, especially when you're talking about first drafts. Just check out how well the video game Duke Nukem Forever did despite having one of the longest development cycles ever.
To back this up, I wrote a post on Bill King's site called "The Fastest Novel I Ever Wrote." This finally puts into print a story I've told at many a convention over the years but never wrote down — until now — about how I once wrote a 91,000-word book in 15 days.
Besides being a fantastic and successful writer himself, Bill's one of the best friends of my life, and he gave me a tremendously kind introduction over there. Sooo, just skip over that first part unless you enjoy knowing that forty-something fathers of five can still blush. But be sure to read the rest and let me know what you think.

Adam stood front row screaming lyrics with the band RAPEWHISTLE in cathartic release through a modern-day art form.
"I thought that RAPEWHISTLE put on a great set; they really know how to liven up a crowd" said Insufficient Funds' vocalist Adam Shannon. "A lot of their songs are very personal but I feel they still convey in a way that vicariously picks up the rest of the crowd and really gets the energy going."
Along with Shannon, dozens of more show-goers attended a well-known practice building at 384 N. Midler Avenue in Syracuse on Saturday, in celebration of the debut EP release "Having Problems" by RAPEWHISTLE. The event was an all-age show free of charge in effort to promote independent music and local playing spaces, headlined by two crowd-drawing groups; SSWAMPZZ (Syracuse) and Dumb Talk (Beekman).
RAPEWHISTLE began when founding members Matthew Jaime and Nathanael Larsen finished a work study shift at Syracuse University. Sharing each others passion for punk rock and independent music, the two united in writing a song while perched on the hood of a car in Barry Park last October. A policeman pulled up and asked them what they were doing. They responded, saying they were writing music. The authorities praised their endeavor and drove away. Jaime then invited
Larsen to a local show that night where their idea of creating a band together surfaced into a serious effort.
Immediately afterwards, the two originators took on two additional members who were close friends of theirs, also attending Syracuse University at the time, solidifying RAPEWHISTLE as a four-piece group. The core members of this quartet from the very beginning include: lead vocalist Jaime, guitarist and vocalist Larsen, bassist John Newland Jr. and drummer Spike Anderson.
RAPEWHISTLE describes their name as something with intended shock value. It comes as tradition for a genre of music that uses social satire to convey hard-hitting issues. The name had been thrown around as an idea but never actually used until the night they played their first show. Larsen's brother had used the title previously as a joke, so as a quick fix the band used the name for anyone who was wondering who they were, and the tag stuck. The band guarantees that there is no subliminal message involved and are quick to say that rape whistles help people.
"It's not supposed to be offensive in any way," Newland said. "It's shock value but very much so a helping [aid to people]."
The band strives to express life through their lyrics and music in an aesthetic way that everybody can relate to. Many of the lyrics are very personal for vocalist Jaime and touches on subjects ranging from love, suicide, death, hope and lack of hope. A lot of the meaning comes from specific events in the band members' lives.
"[We] try to get kids to have fun even if they're not into punk and hardcore," Jaime said. "What I want to do is get [people] to understand what the community is about. It's about getting through things together and not about violence at all. It's about peace."
The group's debut release is also intended to shed insight on current social issues within the local music scene and promote kinship. They want people to feel welcome at underground shows and comfortable being themselves. They explain that being associated with inhabitants at Syracuse University, that people often come to shows who have never listened to heavy genres of music or have never come into contact with such a sporadic environment. It is exciting for them to see people experience it for the first time.
"I remember my first punk show," Larsen said. "One of my favorite things about it that got me into punk is when you get in the pit and you're jumping around and crowd surfing. If you fall down, anyone is willing to help you up. It's a community and it's a family. That's what I love most about it."
RAPEWHISTLE recorded and produced their own work under the assistance of Gregory Lifanov, who opened up a studio in his house. It was a group collaboration, but the band praises Lifanov for stepping up and playing the role of a producer to achieve their goals. The recording process was accomplished in a minimalist approach and the equipment was said to be very basic. The band prides itself in their lo-fi quality recordings and perpetuate a rough independent sound. Their method steers away from unnecessary added flare and emphasizes their live sound.
"I listened to it and I enjoyed it way more than I did live," said freelance writer Thomas Charles. "I don't know if that was me personally, which I think it is, but it is actually a really killer EP."
RAPEWHISTLE's debut album, "Having Problems," was distributed on Saturday at the Midler practice space. Each compilation and additional merchandise was purchased by a simple donation by choice of the buyer. All proceeds went to the band in support of their album.
Editor-in-Chief Jeanette Wall, representing the independent online magazine "The Miscreant," shared her thoughts on RAPEWHISTLE and Saturday's gathering.
"I think that they're a big part of the revival of the scene and [contribute to] integrating these bands that are playing at [Syracuse University] and bands that are playing locally, and it creates a great marriage between those two scenes," Wall said.
As the creator of "The Miscreant," Wall uses the magazine as a supplemental promo for Miscreant Records, which previously featured the headlining bands SSWAMPZZ and Dumb Talk at Saturday night's performance. The magazine is in the process of producing its 17th edition and has already included a review of RAPEWHISTLE. Her endeavor is completely contribution based, focusing on album and music reviews along with interviews of musicians congregating the local scene. Miscreant Records plan to collaborate with these bands on a more regular basis and will include RAPEWHISTLE on the bill for future shows.
"I think all the bands here totally fit the same aesthetic, they have similar goals and they're all great dudes," Wall said.
RAPEWHISTLE has hopes of touring in the future, but for the time being they all have work and college-related commitments. The four members come from various parts of the country and continue to work through the challenge of collaborating in a team effort. They said they will be playing a show in North Syracuse this weekend at a venue known as Fusion. Other future shows include opening for the distinguished band D.R.I. in March with dates still pending.

Longtime high school coach Bill Belisle, forward Craig Janney and the 1996 World Cup of Hockey team are this year's inductees into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
The class was announced by USA Hockey Executive Director Dave Ogrean on the NHL Network.
The 86-year-old Belisle has won 32 state championships in 41 seasons at Mount St. Charles Academy in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, with a record of 990-183-137. Among his players were two No. 1 overall NHL draft picks, Brian Lawton in 1993 and Bryan Berard in 1995, and more than 20 of his players have been drafted, including 2015 U.S. Hockey Hall inductee Mathieu Schneider.
Janney is the leader in assists per game among U.S.-born players and was one of the top playmakers of his era. He had 563 assists and 751 points in 760 games. Janney played at Boston College and then for the Boston Bruins.
Griffin to start for Browns
Despite spending an entire season on Washington's bench, Robert Griffin III never doubted he'd be a starter again.
His belief became reality when coach Hue Jackson said "it's time" to give Griffin the opportunity to lead the Cleveland Browns on the field.
Griffin beat out Josh McCown for the starting spot, leaving the 37-year-old's future with the Browns in doubt.
Veteran wide receiver Lance Moore retired, telling the Atlanta Falcons his heart wasn't in it only three days after signing with the team as a free agent.
Driver dies from injuries
Bryan Clauson wasn't a household name and he hadn't yet earned the fame or fortune enjoyed by auto racing's superstars.
Cut from the mold of the old-school drivers, Clauson would race anything, anywhere at any time. He was chasing the USAC's all-time wins mark -- having racked up 112 already -- and was well on his way to compete in 200 events this season alone. He was widely considered the best dirt-track racer in the nation.
The wildly popular Clauson died Sunday night from injuries suffered in a crash during a weekend race in Kansas, a stunning announcement that came Monday from officials at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Bochy hospitalized
The San Francisco Giants say manager Bruce Bochy has been admitted to a Miami hospital after falling ill and missed Monday night's game against the Marlins. The Giants did not specify what sent the 61-year-old Bochy to the hospital. They said in a statement that he is "resting comfortably" and will be monitored overnight.

Homemade Baby Food. I have been making my own baby food using The Baby Bullet and I am so glad I chose to do this! I am totally not a health nut or someone who is all concerned about chemicals but I do know for sure that homemade baby food is so much better for Nora than store bought. I mainly wanted to do it because of the cost (so much cheaper!) but when I saw the recipes that are literally the food and water, I was even more excited to do it! Bonus that Baby Girl LOVES it!
| Two |
4th. Having a baby makes me ten times more excited for every holiday. I have never been a huge lover of The Fourth of July. Sure I like seeing family, chowing down and watching fire works but it just has never been a favorite holiday of mine. Now that Nora is here I am pumped for the 4th! I can't wait for her to experience all of the fun things and to wear her precious outfit! #America
| Three |
Daddy Lunch Dates. In December The Hubs took a new job (basically his dream job) and now only works 15 minutes from our house. That means in the summer he comes home for lunch every day! We love it so stinkin' much! On this particular day we were running errands and met him at Arbys! Our gal is lucky to have such a great daddy!
| Four |
Packing. Holy Cow packing for a trip is already a lot to do and no fun but adding a baby to that mix is insane! The fact that she now eats solids once a day means a whole new category of things to pack! We are going to be gone for 3 days for The 4th and it is blowing my mind the amount of things Nora needs. I don't even want to think about how much stuff I will have to pack for her when we go to Seattle a week from today... I'm worn out just thinking about it!
| Five |
Cart Cover. So I ordered Nora one of those cart covers and we tried it out the other day. I am not a germ-a-phobe by any means, I really wanted the cover so I could ditch the pumpkin seat! That thing is too big, Nora doesn't like it and I run into things like crazy when I have it on the cart. This was the perfect solution and she loved in up until the last few minutes. But let's be honest, she can only handle anything in small doses right now #onlybeenalivefourmonths

Solution on Google. The Ageless Body System has helped calm my adult acne and has helped me
reduce my fine lines. Also, my skin is more hydrated and smooth as it has ever been. I saw results that
I have never seen with the over priced serums and creams I was using. I also bought the InstaFitFuelas
part of the package which has really helped me understand a lot more of what I was doing wrong that
was keeping me from loosing weight. Overall, I would definitely recommend this ebook to friends.

I'm definitely a jeans and t-shirt girl, but during the summer it's impossible to wear pants, so I say yes to shorts and t-shirts. These days I bought a new t-shirt that I simply love. It's from Moschino and it has written on it a "so true" message about me . This outfit is simply the most comfortable one and it can be worn as a casual one (tomorrow there will be a post with the casual look of the t-shirt) and as a night one, if u add heels, like I did today. The heels were bought in USA from Charlotte Russe for like 15 $, that have three years and are still fabulous.

Fantastic, but the only question remains is, is that outfit for wearing outside? Lets hope so!

Ashley did an amazing job with the grand opening of our medical office. She provided a 5-star food and drink experience all while staying under budget. She was punctual, creative and flexible during the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an event planner.
When my husband proposed to me in June of 2015, my excitement was also mixed with extreme anxiety over how I would make a wedding. I never pictured myself having 'wedding wedding'. On top of that, there were so many things that would've made planning a wedding on my own impossible.
Enter our angel, Ashley Silver.
When I first met with Ashley, I knew she GOT it. She set me at ease immediately. We set the date for December 27, 2015 and even with only 6 months, I knew we'd be just fine because we had the most thorough, communicative and organized wedding planner.
Ashley became part of our family. Since our parents live so far from Nashville and my husband and I travel for music, we all depended on Ashley for so many things and she was so patient and reliable.
Our wedding was perfect for the two of us. It felt like a big backyard party at Christmas time, lovely string lights and simple, elegant flowers. We were so happy and grateful! Ashley is passionate about making her events special. I trusted her guidance and experience and knew that anything she made would be beautiful.
Most importantly, she's a joy to be around. Planning a wedding is an intimate experience with the people who help to make it happen. She calmed my nerves. Every vendor loved working with her and my family and I truly think of her as an angel! She helped make an otherwise NON wedding girl very happy she had a real wedding!
Ashley is amazing! She planned our entire rehearsal dinner and it was the perfect night. The decorations were tasteful and fit us so well as a couple, the food was delicious, and she even stepped in and helped serve when it was needed. She's such a hard worker and made sure everything flowed perfectly! I would trust her again with any event, big or small. She's a gem!

5. Taraji P. Henson as Yvette in Baby Boy
Yvette loved her some Jody in the 2001 urban drama Baby Boy. Yvette and Jody, played by Taraji P. Henson and Tyrese, had a tortured romance that was full of on-again and off-again moments. Henson's character never missed an opportunity to angrily yell at Jody, but she remained his ride-or-die chick until the end.

Blunder Shock
How do I HANDLE them?
I forget them. Hopefully. Seriously. You can only control the position which you are in. Once I have made a blunder(and realized it immediately after hitting clock) I am immediately trying to find a way to salvage my position or complicate etc. I don't have the time or energy to worry about the many blunders which I have just made
blunders have taught me the most about the wornderfully complex game of chess. often after making a mistake your opponent gets overconfident. Provided you some material left to play with dig deep and act like its a tactics trainer. only a game. The part I dislike is when I don't feel Im blundering and still get "handled roughly".
Blunders are part of the game. If I play a game without a blunder I count it as a win even if I lost.
I blunder a lot

can't win em all
I always let my opponent do their tactic before I resign. Even if one of your pieces is hanging there is a chance your opponent miss it. I've played games where both queens stand unprotected next to each other and the one that first blundered the queen won a queen instead after his opponent missed it. I have also won a game after my opponent made a blunder as he resigned before I got the chance to find the combination. If my friend wouldn't have told me afterwards that I could win a piece I wouldn't have known why my opponent resigned since I didn't feel like asking why he resigned.
I hit the resign button.
I got you beat. I made 5 in a game a couple days ago...

How did the discovery of agriculture in the neolithic period change human political structures?
- print Print
- list Cite
The Neolithic agriculture revolution made fundamental changes in the organization of human societies. Compared to hunter-gatherer societies, even fairly crude slash-and-burn agriculture is an extremely efficient method of obtaining food. Agriculture intensifies food production for a given land area allowing for substantial increases in population density. Agriculture also favours fixed locations, as opposed to the necessary mobility of nomadic and hunter-gatherer means of obtaining food. The combination of population density and fixed locales lead to urbanisation and increasingly complex political structures. Irrigation, as developed in Mesopotamia and Egypt, in particular, requires large scale and long term cooperation among large groups of people.
Even more important, the relative efficiency of agriculture food production results in an economic surplus, i.e. no longer are all the people in the community engaged primarily in subsistence level food gathering. This allows for some specialization of labour, and the development of crafts -- e.g. potters who can trade pots for food -- leading to technological innovation.
Political structures are often influenced by the way the people live in country. For example, Indian land is mostly agricultural so the society have developed into agriculturian society, which in turn has maintained the political structure pertaining to agriculture. Green revolution has drastically changed the political system.
But if we talk of developed countries like America then we find that there political structure, by and large, is influenced by industries which in turn has provided highly improvised equipment for agriculture. Up and down has been witnessed by that countries just through the technology.
SO we can say that agriculture has deeply influenced the political structure.


text: Hello I am brand new to these forums but I have recently applied for a pre-load supervisor position and I am looking to find some answers to where I might stand in the process. I had my interview where they asked me to bring in my social security card and drivers license and I believe the interview went very well. I did not receive a tour like I've read about a lot on the forums here, and the HR guy interviewing me said they would call me back in a week. I'm curious in seeing if the saying that they will call me back in a week is just a way of telling me they are going in another direction or what since I am not familiar with the culture at UPS yet.

17 Jan Sexy art show closed but it's 'all a big laugh' to Lennon
LONDON – (UPI-AP) – Scotland Yard, acting on ground of obscenity, yesterday closed a John Lennon art show depicting his sex life with wife Yoko Ono.
But Beatle Lennon, grinning broadly, said in Copenhagen: "I don't care what they do. It's all a big laugh."
The exhibition, which opened on Thursday, consisted of 14 lithographs by Lennon portraying the couple unclothed in various love-making poses.
The sketches, on sale for $100 each, were viewed by more than 7,500 people.
Police entered the exclusive Bond Street gallery, hurried out the spectators and set up guard at the doors to hold back the crowds — long-haired youths, businessmen and middle-aged ladies — clamoring to get a glimpse of the pictures before they were confiscated.
Teenyboppers and Beatle fans raised cries of "Police state!" and "why pick on the Beatles?" as detectives milled inside the gallery taking pictures of the lithographs and questioning gallery officials.
"They confiscated all our photographs, catalogues, order books and other documents pertaining to the exhibition," said Eugene Schuster, owner and director of London Arts, which tours universities, art centres and museums throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.
He said 20 sets of the prints had been sold, at $1,320 each.
The pictures will go on show in New York at the end of this month. Paris in the spring and possibly later in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

Here in the United States, the legislative bodies have passed laws preventing credit card companies from suddenly raising interest rates to loan shark levels if you are late with a payment. Credit card companies are suppose to give you 45 days notice before they raise your interest rate.
Here is a list of the rules credit card companies must abide by: What the Credit Card Bill of Rights Means for Consumers
I didn't see anything about CUTTING credit limits – or canceling cards!
Trying to take care of all my bills before I left on my round the world trip, I decreased my credit debt to $0. Apparently I am now a credit risk to some companies because when I got back I used a Visa card issued by HSBC.
Staying on top of it, I decided to pay it off as soon as I charged the item and called for the mailing address. The automated system said I had $245 of available credit!
Wasn't my credit limit $3000???
They lowered the limit to $300 from $3000 because of inactivity. Ok fine. But you never warned me and when I called to complain they said they sent a letter. Only the letter I saw was postmarked AFTER I made the complaining call.
What can you do? Not much from what I can see. If you have $0 balances try to use your card for small items and pay it off immediately. Credit card companies feel that if they are not making any money off the interest you owe them, you are a risk.
If you're taking a trip, you should be proactive and call. Tell them you are traveling and not to lower your credit limit. Not sure if that will make a difference, but it can't hurt.
Some cards are being canceled outright without any prior warning because of inactivity. How ridiculous is that?
You don't want to be in a foreign country, think you can use your credit card and then have it denied because you are suddenly over the limit. Especially if the credit card is needed for a emergency situation. Bring two credit cards and hope that their respective credit limits don't get cut or canceled at the same time!
Anyone else have any suggestions?? Would love to hear them.

Would it shock you too much if I said that college for our kids might be overrated? Or that college should not be an option for your teen?
Believe it or not, this concept may not be that far-fetched.
Perhaps you've experienced that it's easier to find a good doctor or lawyer today than it is finding a skilled tradesman like a plumber or painter. One reason for this; boys in particular, kids are so consumed with video games these days that the thought of an honest blue collar pursuit, like the trades, is beneath them.
But, there is incredible opportunity for a six-figure income shortly out of high school with working in the trades. You might save yourself a huge college bill and bless your child with a bright future at the same time by limiting Junior's video game time right NOW and replacing it with time training him in the way he should go.
Conversation starter: I would love to hear your thoughts on this concept. Leave your thoughts below.

fucking coward. does it make you feel big and strong to watch her cry out and bleed? see the fear in her eyes. won't kill the weakness in yours. motherfucker. vengeance comes soon. you won't stand in front of me. i'll avenge my family. been waiting these four years to destroy you, to erase you from this place so we can breathe. don't want you as a memory. shadow cast you down. you, you're just a bitch. you think i'll let you forget? someday our paths will cross, and you're the one who will bleed. salvation from my hate. won't break my promise to the one who gave me this life. been waiting these six fucking years to get you out of my head. i'll kill those memories. i'll kill those memories. kill inside.

Del Mar bonus program expands
In 2011, 107 horses started at Del Mar who had made their previous start outside of the state, or even the nation. Those horses were eligible for bonuses that cost the racetrack and the Thoroughbred Owners of California a total of $165,000.
This year, the two groups are willing to spend more – a lot more, if necessary – to cover an expanded bonus program.
[DEL MAR: Get PPs and watch the full opening-day card live]
In an effort to boost field size, Del Mar is paying bonuses to the owners of horses who race at the meeting from out of state, provided the horses are not first-time starters and have not raced in California in the last six months.
The bonus, the cost of which is split between the track and the owners' organization, has two features – a $1,000 bonus for all starters, regardless of the type of races, and a 25-percent bonus to the owners of horses who earn purses in overnight races in their initial starts at the meeting. Last year, the bonus for purses earned in overnight races was 20 percent.
Expectations are for a greater influx of shippers for the meeting that begins on Wednesday. Although racing officials are reluctant to make bold predictions, they are expecting about 150 runners from out of state.
There are four trainers from Texas coming to Del Mar that have not raced on the circuit this year – Cody Autrey, Jack Bruner, Christie Grisham, and Dallas Keen. They are expected to bring about 70 horses. Washington-based trainer Tim McCanna is expected to have starters. In addition, owners and trainers based in California have been active acquiring horses from other circuits or Europe.
Another incentive for all owners and trainers is increased purses. Del Mar has raised purses in most categories for its upcoming meeting, with an added emphasis on increasing prize money for maiden special weight and allowance races.
"We've got some new faces," said the track's director of racing, Tom Robbins. "The other part of this is trying to encourage local people to take advantage of this. This is advantageous for them."
In a new venture this year, the track is hosting a horses of racing age auction – the Del Mar Paddock Sale – of 44 horses on Sunday evening. Many of those horses are eligible for the bonuses, and are expected to race at the meeting, which runs through Sept. 5.
Last year, average field size at Del Mar rose from 8.18 runners per race in 2010 to 8.35 runners per race. Robbins said the number of shippers affected the average.
"When you do your analysis, we increased field size," he said "We tore the numbers apart. How many [shippers] made a five-horse field a six-horse field? It wasn't a close call."
If the number of shippers increases this year, Robbins said the track will benefit with larger fields, and, theoretically, higher handle figures. The obligations for bonus payouts may be higher, but that's a price worth paying, Robbins said.
"Can you afford it if gets to 200 horses? Yes," he said. "It's a failure if we go from 107 to 83."

Pressure from environmental groups and federal prosecutors is helping break the link between cattle ranching and deforestation in the Amazon, according to a new study.
Agreements with Brazil's largest slaughterhouses have "dramatically" reduced deforestation by ranchers, research published Tuesday in Conservation Letters found.
Supply chain solutions — such as the market-driven agreements Brazilian beef companies entered into with Greenpeace and the Brazilian government in 2009 — are remarkably effective and have rapidly changed deforestation behavior for beef suppliers, said Holly Gibbs, a professor at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an author of the study. Both 2009 agreements committed companies to only sourcing beef from ranchers who were not engaging in deforestation.

Bebop recordings were quaint by the late '60s, all but pushed aside by more experimental acoustic jazz and early attempts at electronic jazz fusion. Interestingly, none of the artists on the date actually expected bebop to return to the singular position it once held in the late '40s and again in the mid-50s. Instead, these top-flight musicians were just happy to be together recording the music they loved and trading ideas in the language they knew best.
For this date, Harris contributed four originalsthe title track (a play on How High the Moon), Like This, Nicaragua and Even Steven. The remaining tracks were Bud Powell's Dance of the Infidels and Webb City, and the standard My Ideal. Harris arranged them all. [Pictured: Pepper Adams]
According to Ira Gitler's fine liner notes, this was Harris' first Prestige date as a leader. As Ira points out, Slide Hampton, who was with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers at the time, was able to produce a French horn sound by hanging a felt beanie off the bell of his trombone.
What's most interesting about this date is how easy it all comes together. There's none of the frantic feel that's typically evident on Blue Note sessions of the period. Pepper Adams is up and running but not spraying the studio with baritone graffiti. And Junior Cook is equally restrained but powerful and deliberate.
Much of the session's measured pace is a result of Harris' patient and distinct approach. In this regard, he's operating throughout as both a bop catalyst and a conductor. But instead of waving a baton, Harris holds the horses with his precise attack and swirling bop lines.
There are lots of surprises here. Dance of the Infidels is taken at mid-tempo, allowing all of the instruments to fall into line. By contrast, Webb City flies at breakneck speed, giving all of the horns a shot at showing their stuff. My Ideal is a ballad, but Harris takes an interesting approach by having the horns open in unison. Nicaragua is a Latin original but it also bears traces of Charlie Parker's Bongo Beep. And Even Steven, the closer, is a cousin of Parker's Ornithology.
To quote Ira in his notes:
I'm one of those people who believes that if music can make you feel better, it is doing something very essential. I come away from listening to this album feeling good every time."
I second that emotion.

A Desperate, Anxious Love
As a new mother-priest, I am finding that I have to actively restrain myself from talking and writing constantly about my daughter, since she is just about all I think about now. But, since Father's Day is coming up, I feel like this is an appropriate week to say a few words about parenthood.
I know the image of God as "Father" is fraught in our church, both because it reinforces the misconception that God is only masculine and because many people have had difficult relationships with their fathers. But, for me, there has long been something very special about the God as parent metaphor.
When I was in college, I had a moment when I suddenly had a lot of doubts about God's existence. Like many young people coming of age, I found myself wondering if religion was all just a delusion, if I was revering something real or just clinging to a family heirloom. One day, I decided to try on the idea that God wasn't real and that all the religious stuff I learned in church was just baloney. I wanted to ask this question: If I start off with the assumption that God isn't real, is there anything that would convince me otherwise?
And—I remember this so well—on that day when my faith was hanging on by a thread, there was one thing that kept me from letting go of my confidence in God. It was the thought of a parent's love for a child. I had this image in my mind of a mother with her little infant child, and I imagined what that love is and what it feels like to be the recipient of that love. And I realized that, even if all that religion teaches is false, the love that I have known in my own family between parent and child is real, and it is bigger than anything material that I understand. It is truly super-natural–something transcendent. And that little thread of experience is what kept me believing that God is. If God is that kind of love, I can believe.
When I was young, I had the good fortune to experience that love from a child's perspective. Today I experience that love as a parent. Now, I am the mother holding my little infant in my arms and just feeling an overflowing of life and love. But, now that I am the parent, I have many moments when I am no longer sure that this kind of love is divine.
Because I have always imagined divine love as this logical, mature, level-headed kind of love—almost an unattached Buddhist sort of love that is free of anxiety, that does not cling to its object, but declares that all is well no matter what becomes of its recipient. But the love I feel for my daughter is not anything like that. Instead, it is this messy, desperate, anxious sort of love. A runs-to-the-crib-every-half-hour-to-make-sure-she's-still-breathing kind of love. An anxiety-dreams-about-her-suffering kind of love. An absolutely-terrified-to-let-her-out-of-my-sight-because-she-just-means-so-very-much-to-me-and-everything-would-be-horror-and-grief-if-I-lost-her kind of love. I feel like my parental love is an overbearing, far too emotional, too attached kind of love. Surely God's love–transcendent love–isn't so desperate. Surely God can keep God's cool even when we are teetering on the edge of self-annihilation.
But then I remember this one image that Jesus used for God in Luke 15. The one about the shepherd who had 100 sheep but noticed one day that one of those 100 was missing. And that shepherd left all those 99 other sheep to the dangers of the world so she could run frantically around the wilderness searching for that single confused sheep. That illogical, dangerous, unthinking love is the kind of love God has for us, according to Jesus.
So maybe God really is as desperate for us as a father or mother is for a child. Maybe divine love is as anxious and overbearing as my love for my daughter. When we teeter on the edge in life—when we get lost from our path—perhaps it is true that God really feels so messy and distracted to leave all the cares in the world to search after us.
So what would it mean to be the object of such a love? Today, I encourage you to go and live your life with this assumption: that you have a divine Father/Mother whose love for you is so irrational, so emotional, so desperate that God would go to the ends of the earth to find you. And make that assumption about every person you meet too. And see if that changes anything.
So he told them this parable: 'Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until she finds it? When she has found it, she lays it on her shoulders and rejoices. And when she comes home, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost." Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Luke 15:3-7

Analysts with trade credit insurer Coface said it has raised its 2010 world growth forecast to 3 percent. Coface, which provides protection for businesses against financial failure by their customers, issued a report in April stating that the United States' A2 rating is under positive watch. Given the strong performance of the U.S. at the end of 2009, Coface analysts revised their forecast upward to 2.3 percent. They warned, however, that the nation still had much to do before reaching its "pre-crisis" A1 rating. Furthermore, said analysts, there is some apprehension of a U.S. business slowdown during the year "due to a weakening of the favorable effects of the budget stimulus." Meanwhile, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are benefiting from the recovery in Asia, as demand for raw materials is ramping up. All three nations have been given an AI rating by Coface.

We all know that soda is not good for our health, but it can be so addicting and so difficult to stop drinking. The biggest risk for soda drinkers is the excess calories that come entirely from sugar, but it is also linked with tooth decay, diabetes and is bad for your bones. In an excellent article from Amanda MacMillan of the Huffington Post, you will find 13 ways to stop drinking soda for good.
Wean yourself off slowly. If you are used to drinking multiple servings of soda a day, first cut back to just one a day. After a couple of weeks, try to cut back to just three a week. This gives you a chance to gradually make the change and allow it to be permanent.
Mix it with water. In addition to weaning off slowly, you can try mixing your soda with water. This not only cuts back on the sweetness you get from soda, but it also allows you to drink more water and get more hydrated.
Switch to unsweetened tea. If you feel like you need that jolt of caffeine, try unsweetened tea instead. It can be just as refreshing and it even has some health benefits.
See the other 10 ideas in the full article here: 13 Ways To Stop Drinking Soda For Good.
