At least 53 people have been killed and 450 wounded as the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip entered its second day, in what has been the worst outbreak of violence in the besieged coastal enclave since November 2012.
The escalation comes after sporadic rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip during the past couple of weeks. Since Israel enacted Operation Brother's Keeper on 12 June in attempts to find three kidnapped Israeli teens in the West Bank, more than 200 rockets have been launched from the besieged strip, Al Jazeera reported.
Locals told Palestine Monitor that during the Operation, Israel has launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip every night; killing six people during the first week after the teens went missing.
On Monday, nine Palestinians died after Israel fired more than 60 air strikes on the Gaza Strip. More than 80 rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel on the same day.
Early Tuesday, Israel launched "Operation Protective Edge," carrying out more than 273 airstrikes against Gazans and killing 18 people. Amongst them was Hafez Hamad, a commander of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, according to Ma'an News Agency. Five of his family members were killed along with him after Israel targeted his home.
Overnight Tuesday Gazan militants fired dozens of long-range rockets at Israel. While two reportedly landed close to Jerusalem causing little to no damager, others fired at Tel Aviv were intercepted.
Attacks continued on both sides early Wednesday morning. At around 8.30 a.m., the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted two rockets in Tel Aviv area. Israel struck about 160 targets on the Gaza Strip during the night, Haaretz reported.
A young man from Rafah, a city in southern Gaza Strip, was killed in the strikes on Wednesday.
Ground invasion possible
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered on Tuesday a broadening of the military operation against "the terrorists of Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip," adding that rocket fire against Israeli towns would not be tolerated.
At least 1,500 soldiers have been deployed close to the Strip, and the cabinet has approved the call-up of an additional 40,000 reservists in case of a ground offensive.
The Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said on Wednesday that the operation will "continue and escalate," according to the Jerusalem Post. He said Israel would destroy Hamas' arms, institutions, and kill "terrorists," making the organization to pay "a heavy price."
The Israeli forces have already targeted the homes of eight senior Hamas members, about 120 underground launchers, and 10 tunnels, along with domestic security offices and a naval police space.
The military confirmed on Wednesday that a Hamas operative Abdullah Difallah was killed while riding a motorcycle in the north of Gaza.
Abbas calls for international help
The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked on Tuesday for help from the international community, especially from the Quartet and the Security Council, to end the conflict. On Wednesday morning, he appealed to the Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi to mediate between Israelis and the Gaza militants.
Abbas reminded that the recent events in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem "are not a war between two armies," but that the Palestinians are "unarmed people" living under occupation.
France, Germany, the United Nations, and the United States have called for restraint on both parties. At the same time, the US has condemned the rocket fire inside Israel.

Dave Draper Blog
January 12, 2011, 10:35:27 PM »
Dave has his own blog - very cool.
Here is the latest entry - Wednesday, January 12, 2011
1 - Draper here... Like I Said Five Years Ago, We Press On
It was Monday morning and I was slouched at my desk poking with my
fork at an open can of sardine filets. Been a long time since these
little guys splashed around in the ocean, I thought. I gave myself a D
for posture, sat up and arched my back into a tight contraction. Feels
good to straighten, stretch and contract. Sardines are good for you,
did you know that? Omega-3 oil, high in protein, no carbs, smelly and
not too appetizing. I like the crunchy little bones. Oops! Slouching
again, another D. What time is it, anyway?
Time for another cup of coffee. I wonder if coffee and sardines are a
bad mix. I know they're not a good mix, like tuna and water, but are
they bad? You know, like, do they produce enzyme malfunctions or
corrupt hormonal activity when they're combined? Is the protein
neutralized by the caffeine or do the omega-3s turn rancid and become
triglycerides? Coffee and Danish pastry go well together. I love
Danish pastry. I haven't had a piece of Danish since I was a kid
living at home... sixteen, maybe. I wonder if it tastes the same. Huh,
45 years and no Danish.
Still raining. Going on three weeks. It's been raining for so long
that I'm getting into it. The world gets small. The darkness and the
haze limit the distance you can see and the blue sky is gone, cloaked
in grey and brooding clouds. You go out only when you must, to run
errands, go to work, the gym, church... wherever... and you mostly
look down, or from the underside of an umbrella if you're with your
wife or girlfriend. Guys don't use umbrellas, unless they're business
guys, which I am not. No wingtips and knee-high socks, though I do
have a couple of ties and a jacket somewhere.
The indoors is where it's at. The crackling, flickering hearth is the
center of attraction with Laree and me alternately feeding the fire
according to its appetite. It's warm, comfortable, alluring, hopeful
and alive. Homemade soups and stews nourish the body, heal the wounds
and soothe the spirit. Shelter takes on new meaning and you're
grateful to be living, breathing, working and protected.
The gym, always a refuge, becomes a special place away from your digs.
It's good to mingle, hear your voice among other voices and bear the
struggle of unkind and peculiar weather with like creaturesfriends,
indeed. Between sets I go to the gym's open back door to peer at the
rain and inhale the fresh wet air. Very nice. I don't gaze too long
'cuz I don't want to lose my rhythm or body warmth or pump or
concentration or favorite bench. The rain's nice, but not that nice.
Fewer people make it to the gym when the wet weather moves in. Traffic
slows down, wet clothing, hair and feet are uncomfortable, and, like I
said, the world becomes small. And inconvenient. The gym seems far
away; into a hooded slicker, out the front door, beyond the gloom,
through the downpour, puddles and mud and across the flooded
intersections. Cars are slipping and sliding, and who can see out the
windshield in weather like this? It's confusing and messy. Wipers and
heaters and defrosters work overtime. The carwash is empty. So are the
swings, barbeque pits, street corners, park benches and jogging paths.
A little lonely, you can feel it. Just you and yourself.
Ah! A good group: serious, dedicated, appreciative; industrious,
willing and able. They're getting their money's worth, investing in
their health, wasting no time and increasing their personal wealth.
They're working out. This is entertainment at its bestbeneficial,
exclusive and confidential. Nothing like a little active privacy and
treasure hunting on a rainy day, that's what I always say. It may or
may not cross their minds, but somewhere in their consciousness they
know they are where they belong, safe and sound and dry and pumped,
and it's teeming outside. The black afternoon sky is emptying itself
and they're doing chins and bentover rows. Ha. I mean, the power could
go out, lightning could strike or the forceful wind could blow off the
roof, yet here we are, the intrepid few. I'd hang onto a 50-pound
dumbbell if I were you.
I'm into my workout. How much I lift isn't as important as the very
fact that I'm lifting in the powerful and secure confines of the
darn-near-sacred gym. I move the iron with a different effort that
arises from a palette of multiple strengths, desires and needs. Desire
is the predominant factor affecting the shape and outcome of the
action before me.
The music and clang and shuffling bodies don't compete with the hush
that prevails. The symptoms of the weather have become almost
endearing and penetrate the edges of our minds and souls. We need the
rain, the water that gives life. I hate droughts. You won't see me
moving to the moon any time soon.
I find a corner of the gym and practice side-arm lateral raises. This
once-favorite shoulder movement had been relegated to the exercise
junkyard after a dumb accident disconnected my right infraspinatus, an
important rotator cuff support mechanism. Since that fateful day 30
years ago, the shoulders, the poor mutts, have had to eat scraps and
work hard for their run on the beach. Today, prompted by a calm
thoughtfulness and nostalgia resulting from the confinement of
inclement weather, I decide to revisit the long-lost friend. I'm in
the mood for discovery, or re-discovery, as the case may be.
Just to assume the starting positionslightly crouched with the
dumbbells held fixed and ready before meand exert the outward and
upward action with that particular shoulder contraction at the peak
would be enough, no matter how light the resistance. I start with five
pounds and exact the movement. 30 years later and I feel a chill of
rebirth. I know that groove, like an old song when I was happy and
growing up with my buds. How does it go again? I go to the 10s, brace
my body and retrace the groove. At 10 reps I'm burning and pumping and
singing in the rain. Draper's smiling.
I grab the 15-pounders like they were my third and final attempt at
setting a new world record: tense, deliberate, prepared for the high
risk, yet confident with hope and faith and need. I can do it. With
extraordinary focus, rep upon rep I fight my way to another stunning
10 reps. The muscle activity is real, the pump and burn are not
imaginary and I devour the encouragement.
The telltale twang on the last reps didn't scare me, but gave me kind
warning. Be smart, bomber known for making crash landings in dangerous
territory. Go slowly. Build up and support the area surrounding the
absent spinatus muscle to permit further action, heavier weight,
tighter contraction, greater overload and enable the delts to assume
the proportions and consistency of watermelons... um... make that
cantaloupes. Grapefruits? Two more sets with the 15s and we'll sneak
up on the reluctant exercise over the next months. I'll need to
fashion a new groove.
I'm singing and dancing in the rain.
There are four of us standing at the back door, none of us fighting to
get out first. The rain is inviting, but wet nonetheless. We agree the
miserable weather conditions are good for the dry landscape and our
spoiled-rotten nature. We're done here today, thank God, and better
prepared for tomorrow. Not one is taller than the other, race and
gender don't matter and any one of us would carry the other if he or
she asked. We're in this together.
See ya later... stay dry... don't slip on the stairs. The days are
getting longer, ya know... less than three months to spring...
Godspeed... Dave

Draper here... Freedom, Liberty, Independence
Rather than set off a few dinky firecrackers to celebrate the 4th, I went to the Weight Room to blast it. The sun was blazing and all the traffic was headed for the beach as I maneuvered the last mile to the
gym. The temperature gauge read 90, the clock said 9 and I thought, "I'm free."
I'm crazy.
Everyone this side of the Atlantic and Pacific, Mexico and Canada are barbequing in their backyards with friends and family, swimming and splashing wherever there's water or cruising the purple mountain
majesty above the fruited plain and I'm draped (how appropriate) over an unyielding bench under an unmovable barbell in the inescapable confines of an impenetrable concrete structure tucked in the
inaccessible corner of an insensible industrial park. Cheers!
Here's to a happy 4th, Independence Day. I'm free. Where's the dang chalk?
As I pull into the rear parking lot, the same parking lot invariably empty this time of day, I encounter 20 vehicles crammed into the space. "What's this?" I gasp, expecting solitude and tranquility, "Is there a concert, a presidential campaign, a cockfight, an overturned beer truck?"
I parked where I could, grabbed my gear and ascended the aging staircase to the open backdoor. Just as I suspected. A secret mob.
It's every ironhead this side of crazy who cannot go a day without his fix. There they are, strung out before the dumbbell racks, hooked on the cables and getting loaded at the squat cage. They're high on chins and down on deadlifts. They're cool on a very hot and celebrated day, a summer day of American liberty and freedom.
I joined them in the free-for-all. We are family, after all. All for one, and one for all. Rich and poor, young and old, short and tall. Masters of our own imprisonment, we go where we want, when we want and how we want. The truth is, we go where we must.
You can take my worldly possessions, the clothes off my back, my Timex, the black and white Motorola, the sardines from the cupboard, but don't take my gym.
A man without his gym is a man denied the captivating fight for fulfillment and exhilaration, self-expression and personal knowledge. And make no mistake, bombers; it is the same for a woman. He and she -- they -- minus a gym have nothing, nowhere, nil.

I estimated 30 lifters weaved their way around each other while I supersetted Smith presses with pulldowns. I'm a bit out of practice, finding it really weird to train with more than three people on the
gym floor. I knew half the trainees and the other half knew me. I tried my best to look big, tall and rugged, but at one point I stumbled into a wall and later my sweatpants slid down to my ankles while doing good-mornings with a broomstick, trashing any chance to highlight my sterling bomber image.
Just joking. I don't do good-mornings with a broomstick.
I finished up with a dazzling, newly formulated and seldom witnessed superset of dumbbell incline presses and stiff-arm pullovers to assure me and any speculating spectators I was still conscious and twitching.
I was the last to leave the building and felt like a million (in Santa Cruz, that's a handful of spare change).
Gee, I just reviewed the long list above and in many ways it reminds me of the attributes of God Almighty. Alas, the gym is but a pile of stone, steel, wood and plastic; it is not a thing to be worshipped. Yet, that doesn't mean God isn't there when you know He is.
Lift smart, eat right, be strong, be free... The Bomb

Inspiring given how long he has been at it.
Also, I'm a big fan because of his top squat bar allowed me to do squats again after fucking up both of my shoulders. Use it every thursday on legs day.

The movie "They Live" turned out to be uncannily prescient, except our oppressors don't even need to bother with the subliminal messaging. They just put their propaganda right out in the open--and we pay them to wear it on our bodies. (Yeah, I said "we." How could I resist? It was 20% off!)
Secondly, here's yet another Kickstarter for yet another bicycle lock:
Unlike most Kickstarter bicycle locks this one is at least analog and mechanical. I'm not sure I buy the claim that this is the "most cut-proof and easily transportable bicycle lock ever made," but I am willing to believe it's the world's first integrated bike lock and top tube pad:
So what makes it so hard to cut? Well, basically it's a small chain buried in hair:
Seems to me you could just douse the thing in gasoline and light it on fire, but I'm neither a bike thief nor a pyromaniac, so I have no way of proving that. However, if you are a pyromaniac, I would happily watch a video in which you literally subject the Hench lock to trial by fire.*
*[BSNYC Industries, LLC and its subsidiaries shall not be held liable for injuries resulting from bike lock immolation, and if you took the above literally then you're an idiot.]
Thirdly, I am pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right then in the afterlife you'll sit eternally at the right claw of Lob, and if you're wrong you'll go to perdition where you'll simmer eternally in hot butter--and in the meantime you'll see a Fred Foul.
Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and laugh in the face of failure.**

1) "WRLD SMT" stands for:

--"Valve stems at 6 o'clock"
--"No bidons in the cages"

3) Dutch scientists report that they have achieved perfectly accurate teleportation of quantum information over short distances, and that they expect to unveil a road bicycle shifting group based on this principle in time for Interbike 2016.

--Immediate destruction of the Hench lock.
--Four broken cutting disks and one disabled angle grinder.

text: You are not, to paraphrase Jay McInerney, the sort of person who would watch Survivor. It's not just the larvae-eating contest (which ex-Survivor B.B. Andersen, 64, helpfully describes as "like having a booger in your mouth"). It's the gladiatorial concept: stranding 16 people on a tropical island to scrabble for food and shelter, all for the delectation of sluggards licking Cheetos dust off their fingers in their air-conditioned living rooms. It's the Machiavellian twist: having the contestants vote one another off the island until there is a single million-dollar winner and 15 rejects. It's the suffering, the mean-spiritedness, the humiliation.

Teenage atheist Jessica Ahlquist questioned the display of a banner displaying a prayer in her public high school and was summarily blown off by school administration. Now that's such a surprise that a high school student wouldn't be taken seriously. As a plaintiff represented by the ACLU, Jessica won a slam dunk decision against the school...not a surprise. House representative Peter Palumbo has referred to Jessica as an "evil little thing" and a "pawn star" of the ACLU. Now that's the kind of elected state official I want to have representing me! The hell with the Constitution and all that separation of church and state nonsense! While we are at it...the hell with...no I go too far.

The female student apparently stayed after school for some extra tutoring help when Mr. S cut loose with the fury of No Child Left's Behind. With all of the negative publicity about US schools falling so far behind foreign competition in math and science test performance (TIMMS for example), rather than actually invest a higher % of our GDP in public education ( we rank near the bottom in this), we leave it up to individual teachers to come up with creative ways to solve the problem. Mr. Shanklin's efforts were failed patriotism but patriotism nevertheless!

Whew…that leaves open the front to front rubbing of my generation and it seems that the GLBT students are off the hook as well. I love it when schools try to limit student expression. I recommend a strict dress code for the dance…perhaps jocks and cups for all students and an appropriate selection of songs that will not elicit erections…square dancing anyone?

We've got spirit, how about…U-Tah?
The Canyons School District (Draper, Utah) decided to veto their student's top choice for school mascot, the cougar, because it is disrespectful to women. Thank you for teaching these kids an important lesson…when it comes to decision making, majority vote doesn't really count for much. The board of education will probably let these high schoolers decide what color crepe paper may be used for homecoming, or even go out on a limb and let them choose Coke or Pepsi. But when it comes to a school mascot, how could they possibly be trusted with such a life altering judgment? And, did anyone poll the cougar population ( I mean the four legged ones)? My bet is that they would be opposed to an affiliation with such tight-minded, anti-democratic folks. So much for the graduation address from Courtney Cox or Joan Collins.

Everything from cheese plates to canapes can have more zing with flavored cheese. Here, Jalapeno Co-Jack from Loleta Cheese Factory and Emmenthaler are combined with red-leaf lettuce, a pitted olive and a grape tomato on a toasted bread round (first toast, then use a cookie cutter).

STEPHANIE ZONIS focuses on good foods and the people who produce them.
April 2008
This is Part III of a six-part article. You can click to the different sections via the yellow box, below.
It would be a simple matter to do an entire article (or several) on cheeses flavored with peppers. Black pepper, cayenne pepper, pink peppercorns, green peppercorns, wasabi and any of numerous chiles are added to cheeses to give them zing. So what's out there if you're one of the "some like it hot" crowd?
Marin French Cheese Company, in California, offers both a Peppercorn Brie and a Jalapeño Brie. On the opposite coast, in Virginia, Everona Dairy has a Cracked Pepper version of its sheep's milk Piedmont; sometimes, there's a Hot Pepper variation, too. Serrano chiles and epazote, an herb common in Mexican dishes, are added to a Queso Blanco by Mozzarella Company.
Chipotle, which is smoked jalapeño, flavors Bravo Farm's Original Chipotle Cheddar (the orangey veining in the cheese is a dead giveaway). If the taste of habañero is more your style, try Loleta Cheese Factory's Habañero Jack (photo at right—the company makes several other hot varieties as well). Both companies are California-based. Massachusetts' Westfield Farm produces a Wasabi Disk, accented with a bit of chive.
See our Chile Glossary to learn about the different types of chiles.

Bow and Knot Wedding Favor Box Decorations
Our instructions are for decorating a 3 3/4-inch jewelry box, but you can adapt them to suit any size. Learn the techniques and you can also use the ties on napkins, flower girls' dresses, and more. (The pyramid bow would look especially lovely on the backs of ceremony chairs.)
Source: Martha Stewart Weddings, Summer 2009
3 3/4-inch jewelry box
Four-Bow-Box How-To
Cut four ribbons, about 25 inches each. Lay three ribbons in a grid pattern on a work surface: two vertical and one horizontal across the top. Place the box on the grid. Start to tie a bow in the top left corner with the two ends of left ribbon. Pull left end of horizontal ribbon across the box so it lies across the bow. Finish tying the bow, capturing the horizontal ribbon.
Start to tie a bow in the upper right corner with the two ends of the horizontal ribbon, laying the right vertical ribbon across the bow halfway through; finish tying the bow.
Lift the box and slide the fourth ribbon underneath horizontally. Start to tie a bow with the two ends of the vertical ribbon in the bottom right-hand corner. Pull the right end of the horizontal ribbon so it lies across the knot. Finish tying the bow.
Slide one end of the horizontal ribbon under the left vertical ribbon and tie the two remaining ends in a bow. Tighten all bows and trim ends.
Pyramid-Box How-To
Fold the ribbon in half and place on the work surface with the fold at the bottom. Place a favor box on top of the ribbon, and pull the folded end up to the top of the box. Thread the two remaining ends of the ribbon through the loop of the folded end. Center the loop at the top of the box, and slide the bottom pieces of ribbon to each corner to create a triangular shape. Pull the ribbon taut, and tie the two ribbon ends into a bow.
Notch the tails of the bow by pinching each end of ribbon in half, and then cutting at an angle to make a deep V.

Browse Reggae
Reggae is a form of music that was developed in Jamaica in the 1960s. It was influenced by African and Carribean music, as well as Jamaican ska, rocksteady and American R&B. Beginning as a slowed down version of the faster tempoed ska, reggae has since developed into a number of different styles. Perhaps one of the most recognizable names from the genre is the late Bob Marley, who was one of the its pioneers. Other famous reggae acts include George Clinton, J Boog, and Soja.
Reggae is not just one type of music, but has diverged into many sub-genres. Reggaeton is a fusion form of reggae and latin music that emerged in 1990 and gained mainstream popularity in the mid-2000s. Other popular forms of reggae include dancehall, dub, rockers, and roots reggae. Over the years, reggae has influenced not only the culture of Jamaica, but has become an integral part of the music tradition across the world.

It was a win in the exhibition opener for No. 13 Illinois, but the Illini wanted so much more in the first exhibition game. The defense didn't show as much improvement as hoped, and the offense got into a rush.
CHAMPAIGN -- The scoreboard showed No. 13 Illinois defeated Division II Lewis 75-65 in the basketball exhibition opener at Assembly Hall Friday.
But nobody on the Illini appeared pleased with a performance that was less than expected on defense, more ragged than hoped with offense and closer than a program on the rebound wanted to see.
Coach Bruce Weber and the Illini both talked about the disappointment from the first impression left in a season loaded with high expectation. It starts with the defense, Weber said, after making it a priority in the preseason.
"I was disappointed that we put all the time into it and it wasn't as good as it should be,'' Weber said. "Defense is desire and pride. It's habits. It's concentration.
"This was the same as last year. Our field goal percentage defense was good. We turned it over, gave up too many offense rebounds and didn't give ourselves a chance. I hope it's not a repeat (of last year). At least we made improvement in the second half.''
Perhaps it hasn't taken long to get the Illini's attention after the preseason buzz created by returning five starters and adding three highly rated incoming freshmen. Illinois hosts Division II Southern Indiana in the final exhibition Tuesday.
When Illinois won last season, it was because of offense instead of defense, but the Illini offense was ragged against Lewis. The Illini were 1-for-10 from the 3-point line, lost 20 turnovers while compiling 11 assists and shot 64 percent from the free-throw line. Illinois wants to run, but the Illini played too fast and made too many mistakes with the ball.
"Sometimes we were trying to hit the home run, trying to throw a lob or make a fancy play,'' said Illini forward Mike Davis, who led the Illini with 15 points and seven rebonds.
The smaller Flyers had 11 offensive rebounds to extend possessions, and Lewis often broke the Illini defense down by working well into the shot clock. The Illini gave a hint they would like to extend the defense up the floor, but Weber must begin spending more time on offense with the season opener vs. Cal-Irvine on Nov. 8 getting closer.
The Illini were "a little shaky'' on offense and didn't carryover the concepts on defense from the practice court to the Hall, admitted Davis.
"We didn't get rebounds. We didn't run the floor,'' he said. "We didn't do the things we were supposed to do. It was only an exhibition game. We won the game, made some key plays in the end and skated to the victory.
Davis led the Illini with 15 points and seven rebounds. Guard Demetri McCamey had 12 points and played only 22 minutes after getting whistled for two charges in the first half, and sophomore Brandon Paul handled the majority of the backup point guard duty, Weber said.
Freshman Jereme Richmond, the program's first McDonald's All-American since Dee Brown, had 11 points with three assists and six turnovers. Guard D.J. Richardson tallied 10 points.
"It's a big adjustment period for me,'' Richmond said. "I didn't expect to have the best game in my career in the first game. It's something I have to get through, as far as turnovers and learning different things like that.
"I wasn't too uncomfortable. It was valueing the basketball. I tried to make too many plays that maybe would have worked last year. This year, it's gotten a lot faster. It's cleaning up my game.''
Illinois broke the game open with an 11-0 run. Lewis, picked to finish second in the Great Lakes Valley Conference north division, pulled within 66-63 before missing two 3-pointers and chances to tie with a little more than 2 minutes left.

National Legal Services Corporation to Honor Louisiana Judge, Attorneys and Firm for Outstanding Pro Bono Work
WASHINGTON — In recognition of their extraordinary commitment to equal justice, the national Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Board of Directors will present its Pro Bono Service Award to five Louisianans and a Lafayette law firm on Friday, January 25. The awards ceremony will take place in the Great Hall of the Louisiana Supreme Court, 400 Royal Street, from 5-6:30 p.m.
Speakers at the event will include American Bar Association Standing Committee on Pro Bono & Public Service Chair Larry McDevitt, Louisiana Bar Foundation President Patricia A. Krebs, Louisiana Bar Association President John H. Musser IV, Adams & Reese LLP Senior Partner E. Paige Sensenbrenner, LSC Board Chairman John G. Levi, and other LSC Board members.
The Recipients of the Pro Bono Service Award are:
Mark Surprenant – Mr. Surprenant is Liaison Partner of the Pro Bono Services Committee at Adams & Reese LLP. He founded the firm's nationally recognized corporate philanthropy program in 1988, and its official pro bono program in 2000. Mr. Surprenant is a long-time, committed supporter of The Pro Bono Project, where he has held every volunteer job from case handler to board chair.
Laborde & Neuner – During the past five years, Laborde & Neuner's 21 lawyers have accepted more than 350 pro bono cases and donated over 2,500 hours to Lafayette Volunteer Lawyers, exemplifying how a few dedicated people with a strong commitment to pro bono can make an enormous difference in their community.
Hon. Melvin A. Shortess – Judge Shortess (retired) is the driving force behind Thirst for Justice, a collaboration of the Baton Rouge Bar Foundation, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and The Pro Bono Project. Since engineering the program's creation in 2001, he has personally staffed almost every one of its twice-weekly pro bono civil legal clinics.
Robert Owsley – A family law specialist with the firm of Murchison and Murchison LLC, Mr. Owsley has been declared Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year in the Natchitoches area for seven years running. He is a former legal aid attorney and has served on the board of Legal Services of North Louisiana since 2004.
Winfield E. Little, Jr. – A sole practitioner in Lake Charles, Mr. Little has always made time for pro bono service. As a volunteer with the Southwest Louisiana Bar Foundation's Pro Bono Project, he has taken more cases through the Child In Need of Care (CINC) program than any other attorney. He is also active in the new Homeless Experience Legal Protection (HELP) program in Southwest Louisiana and is a member of the board of directors of the Southwest Louisiana Bar Foundation.
Anu Kakonen – Now retired from the UAW Legal Services Plan, Kakonen is a former legal aid attorney who spends much of her time providing pro bono legal assistance to low-income Louisianans. In 2012 she spent 96 days providing pro bono assistance to hundreds of clients in Legal Services of North Louisiana's Shreveport office.
Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is an independent nonprofit established by Congress in 1974 to provide financial support for civil legal aid to low-income Americans. The Corporation currently provides funding to 132 independent nonprofit legal aid programs in every state, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.

The late great soul singer Sam Cooke was well known for his beautiful voice, but his namesake, glamour model Sam Cooke, is famous for her beautiful eyes and jaw-dropping figure. The Page 3 girl, who has also worked for lads' mags including FHM, Zoo, Nuts and Loaded is romantically linked with Manchester United's Chris Smalling.
The Manchester-born model isn't your typical sexy WAG however, she has brains too. Before her career in semi-nudity kicked off, Cooke – the tastiest Cookie on the planet – was considering a future in Bio-Chemistry, having studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology at college. Luckily for us, and perhaps to the detriment of the field of scientific research, the 27-year-old bombshell decided to enter into The Sun's 'Page 3 Idol' competition, which she won in 2006. Ever since, Cooke has been making the days of men around the world slightly brighter by showing off her goods and wearing skimpy outfits.
I'm sure her bedside manner and companionship made Chris Smalling's recent recovery from a broken metatarsal bone, which saw him miss the start of the season, much easier and the England and United defender was probably gutted when he had to return to the training ground and swap Nurse Cooke's tender touch for Sir Alex Ferguson's hairdryer treatment.
In her spare time, Sam Cooke DJ's around the world, and has performed in clubs in Malaysia, Egpyt and Ibiza. But for now, lets just concentrate on her modelling work.

Last night 20th Century Fox treated me to a screening of the new 3D version of "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace," which is in cinemas now here in England (Friday in the U.S.). As I got to see it for free, it only seems fair I should let you know if it's worth spending actual money to see it.
First off, it's worth mentioning the obvious. No amount of 3D can change the fact that there's waaay too much about trade taxation routes in this film. The whole "is Natalie Portman grooming a child?" sub-plot is still there. Jar Jar Binks hasn't been digitally erased. But if you're reading this, you probably already have your own views about the artistic merit of this movie, so I'll stick to the techy stuff.

Thief & Bandit Kiddos
I love the little navajo leggings I bought Dashiell last year from Thief & Bandit. And guess what? Amie has launched a new kids shop! Hello! So much cuteness in there just for kiddos.

We're going to need a new pair of leggings for sure. Probably a sweet tank top for next summer and maybe this rad snake shirt too. Dash is very into snakes right now… or SNAH, as he calls them.
And for a super extra surprise, Thief & Bandit is offering Lovely Morning readers a 30% for the next week! Hooray! Just use the code LOVELY2011 when you check out. All of you need sweet snakeskin leggings for your babies!
I hope someone buys this amazing quilt.

Sad, but true. As with Bill Clinton, we have a boy – and not even a nice boy – scarcely even bothering to make the pretense of doing a man's job.

Yep, all planned. He is bringing down the USA on purpose. George Soros' lil' puppet. He needs to be impeached. Still to many out there that don't see through him.

Ken Hinckley from Microsoft Research has unofficially put together a prototype Tablet PC note-taking application designed and built from ground up around the pen. InkSeine (rhymes with "insane") gives you the ability to easily search the web or your local computer directly from your ink. Although it's scheduled for a public release on February 15, 2008, Microsoft insists that it is not intended for public consumption: "InkSeine is a research demonstration only, and is not a Microsoft product, nor is it intended to become a product. It is just something we built as a pure research project to explore novel pen and ink functionality."
The program has a fairly extensive feature list, full of very innovative and intuitive ideas. InkSeine's main focus is search. Searching is built-in to the application, meaning there is never a need to switch to a separate "search application." Searches that are made straight from the user's notes can be saved there for later viewing. According to Microsoft Research, it all comes down keeping everything in one place when you are working on a project:
The Tablet PC offers a terrific sandbox for ideation and creative design sketching: inking is great for thinking. InkSeine pushes this experience to the max while using its great search capabilities to enable you to access all the digital content (emails, documents, web pages, design diagrams, etc.) on your tablet - all the information that you need in order to think through a problem and decide what to do or what to try next.
For more information, check out the official InkSeine Blog. Alternatively, you can watch these two demonstration videos that should, at the very least, pique your interest:

Ending up with a late-round pick in this year's fantasy draft is like reaching the front of the line at McDonald's and having the former computer analyst behind the counter tell you that they only have chicken sandwiches left.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with Al Jeffersons and Carmelo Anthonys, but I came here for the Big Macs, not those Southwest whatever-you-call-its with the weird sauce.
Picking in that slot seems to be having a ripple effect. At that point all the elite guys are gone, so you have to take someone like Jefferson or Anthony or gamble a little on a guy like Derrick Rose. Also, if you didn't get James Harden, Stephen Curry or Paul George, you're going to have to either reach or punt a little on SG, because there isn't one of proper value to take at that spot.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Using Templates: Pattern Overlays, Easy Recoloring in Photoshop, video
Thank You! It finally worked. I didn't do anything different but it worked the way you showed.
Thank you, this is so helpful!
Great tip Thank you!
does this method work in PSE also?
Wow! Great new trick to use now that I know how. Thanks!!!
I'm with Dela, I cannot believe how many hours I have wasted filling in every little bit and piece to change colours of things. Such a cool video Marisa, thanks so much. I was worried that since I only have PE version 5, it might not have the necessary tools, but it did. I definitely need to find some time to check out more of the tutorials. Even though I have to find the time to watch them, the time I save in the long run learning all these little tips will be worth it.
Thank you so much! Such a time saver. At first, I could not get it to work. But then I realized that I needed to uncheck contiguous that pops up at the top when the paint bucket is selected. After that, worked great! Thanks so much! Your tutorials are awesome
Thank you for this. Going to try it now.
Extremely helpful tut! I forgot to take notes so I will be visiting this again (and again).
Thanks so much! This was extremely helpful.
This tutorial is amazing. What a timesaver.
WOW Marisa! I can't thank you enough for all your fabulous tutorials.
These are the easiest, least complicated tuts I've ever found for PS.
Thank you so very much for so generously sharing your knowledge with us!
Great tutorial - many thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial
This is very awesome and to think I paid a lot of money to scrap girls and I learned nothing but a bunch of stuff to read. Your method was very KISS. ( Keep it Short and Simple ) Thanks again your the best....
I never did it this way, but I will try out!
Hey, I could not find any advices in other threats and this looked the most close. I would like to create my own checked patterns. Is there any possibility to do that in an an online program or does anyone have instructions to create these patterns in photoshop? Thanks for your help!
Do you mean a pattern like this: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/marisa-lerin/designs/checkers-paper-template-game-squares-gingham-checked
This tut and the one suggested by Lea have been so very helpful. Thanks for showing us how to change colors so quickly and easily.
buen enlace lo he mirado y tomo nota de los archivos pdf que tiene gracias
gracias por compartir tanto conocimiento
I found the video! Thank you for the tutorial, very helpful!
Gosh I am feeling so incompetent. I think my cold has me foggy I am going to retry tomorrow.
This worked awesome. And someone stated, if you UNCHECK contiguous then it will fill the whole patter/overlay, but if not, then you can click each one, say with lines or circles. Thanks so much
Great tip. Especially about lowering the tolerance number so you can recolor specific colors. And the posted video link on how to use "Color replacement" was great. So much to learn!
So simple, yet so important to know, thanks.
Great information. I didn't know about the lock transparency, which make a huge difference.
Thank you
Am I able to do this in PSE 11? I recognize some of the tools you mention.
Now yes it was better to recolor papers.

Welcome Back
In today's post I will be reviewing;
- Title: Me and My Sewing Machine A Beginner's Guide
- Author: Kate Haxell
- Publisher: Apple Press
My Reason for Buying
Remember when you got your first car and started to learn how to drive? You can imagine the possibilities, know where you want to go etc but have no idea about quite how to go about it. That's me and my sewing machine 🙂 I've got ideas about what I'd like to make and a few books on how to make things, but I thought to get the most from my machine it would be a good idea to find out how to use it properly, rather than doing it damage by using it incorrectly. That's why I was interested in getting this book. I tell you this as often a review is based on how well the book lived up to the expectations of its reader, for their purpose 😉
- Introduction
- My Sewing Machine
- Getting Ready to Sew
- Seams Simple
- Hemmed In
- Fastened Up
- Around the Corner
- On The Edge
- Fancy That
- Make me, Make me
It's a good-looking book, fun and full of really useful pictures. The author has a really approachable style of writing, that is informative without being intimidating. As the author says this is an introduction to sewing, it's not trying to tell you how to do dressmaking! A lot of other books are very intimidating to new sewers and can get too far into the subject and be overwhelming.
Haven't got any.
Value for Money
Excellent, this is a must have book for a new sewer! It maybe isn't as comprehensive as other books around, but it isn't as intimidating either.
Would I buy it Again?
At the time of writing, I haven't yet bought it, I'm reviewing a library book 😉 (budget restraints and all that). This is definitely going on the wish list though. I NEED this book
Summing up
Superb book, I love it! I've been practicing some of the techniques in this book and its going really well. The tutorials are really well explained with useful photos along the way. At the back of the book are some projects, its personal preference as to if you like them or not, I'm not keen on the clothing one's myself but the soft furnishings look nice and the shopper bag I've made and looks wonderful. I even modified it a bit to my own dimensions and it all worked great, and is my best bag yet.
If you or someone you know has inherited a sewing machine and is bewildered by it, get them this book! It's really approachable and has excellent advice to get you enjoying your sewing machine and sewing.

I couldn't find a blog for Kate Haxell, if you read this review and know she has one, do leave me a link to it in the comments. I'd love to leave a link to her in the review too.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Hi all, I know this is something so basic that most won't even look at it but considering that my son is 14 yr old, new to programming and java, maybe a good soul can help him... and we will appreciate a lot.
First, he is doing the famous bank account program that must have a class and a tester... so far so good but after executing the last call from the tester he needs to test the value of the variable opt and there is no way he can get it... here is his code so far and in the last line of the class BankAccount the variable Opt (in red) is not defined. What should he do to continue his program there?
Sorry for the so basic question.... and thanks in advance
public class BankAccount1tester { public static void main(String [] args){ BankAccount1 student1 = new BankAccount1(); BankAccount1.setName(); BankAccount1.setAccountNumber(); BankAccount1.setInitialBalance(); BankAccount1.setOptions(); } }
import javax.swing.*; public class BankAccount1 { public static String setName(){ JFrame BankAccount = new JFrame(); BankAccount.setSize(400,400); BankAccount.setTitle("Name"); BankAccount.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your name to create an account"); return name; } public static int setAccountNumber(){ JFrame BankAccount = new JFrame(); BankAccount.setSize(400,400); BankAccount.setTitle("AccNum"); BankAccount.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); String AccountNumber = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the desired account number:"); int AccountNum = Integer.parseInt((AccountNumber)); return AccountNum; } public static int setInitialBalance(){ JFrame BankAccount = new JFrame(); BankAccount.setSize(400,400); BankAccount.setTitle("IntBalance"); BankAccount.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); String InitialBalance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your initial balance:"); int InitBalance = Integer.parseInt((InitialBalance)); return InitBalance; } public static int setOptions (){ JFrame BankAccount = new JFrame(); BankAccount.setSize(400,400); BankAccount.setTitle("Options"); BankAccount.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); String Options = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What would you like to do?: \n" + "Enter 1 to withdraw \n" + "Enter 2 to deposit \n" + "Enter 3 to check current balance \n"); int Opt = Integer.parseInt((Options)); return Opt; } if ( Opt == 1){ } } }

South Korean professor Kim is charged with fraud after inventing a device that he claimed could turn regular tap water into blessed "holy water," which replicates the healing powers of the holy water located at the Catholic Virgin Mary shrine at Lourdes, in France. Kim's scientific method involves turning the medical properties of the real holy water into digital signals and transferring these signals onto any tap water via his device which features ceramic and paper filters and plastic cords.
Kim sold around 5,000 of these devices to people in Seoul, Korea with various ailments, and made about $1.3 million before his victims went to the police and turned him in for fraud. (That's $260 per machine.)
I don't know what's worse: Professor Kim's fake device, or using bottled water for Baptism.
Alternatively, if you want clean tap water, you could always invest in a Brita water filter. It won't bring healing powers to your water, but it will filter out the stuff that may have caused some of the ailments suffered by Kim's victims. After this experience, however, Seoul residents will probably be reluctant to purchase anything that claims to purify tap water for a long time..

Help 'Slice Out Hunger' on June 9
Scott Wiener (Scott's Pizza Tours) emails us that he's once again putting together the annual Slice Out Hunger charity event. Proceeds go to City Harvest. Tickets are sold at the door and cost $1, each one redeemable for any one of a slice of pizza, a soda, or a raffle ticket. (Obviously you can buy more than one ticket if you're hungry and thirsty and feeling lucky.)
Some of the city's noted pizzerias have participated in the past, donating pizzas that are offered up at a central location. (We're still waiting on Scott to find out where that will be.)
Slice Out Hunger will happen Thursday, June 9, 2011 — plenty of time to get it on your calendar. So far, Scott says, he's secured donations of at least 100 pies. ("Last year we had 65, and they were gone in 2 hours," he says — i.e., get there on time.)
If you're a pizzeria or someone who just wants to help, Scott's looking for more pizza donations, raffle prizes, matching donors, pizza servers, etc. You can contact him at scott [at] scottspizzatours [dot] com.

Apple Has Simple But Brilliant Cure For Spam Email
Apple has filed a patent for "disposable email address generation and mapping to a regular email account," reports Apple Insider.
It's a cure for spam, the unwanted ransom emails we all get. Spam has been out of control for years. It's not just marketing companies that acquire huge lists of email addresses. At times, 88% of all email traffic has been spam, mostly to use malware and bots.
Apple's system would fight junk email at the server level, allowing you to teach the server some cool anti-spam tricks.
For example, your main first-name-last-name email address could be kept safe under Apple's system by generating a disposable email address and giving that out instead of your main email. The disposable address is mapped to your main account, so emails sent to it would appear in your main account without any extra steps. Any replies you send would show up as having come from the disposable account.
Want more disposable addresses? Want to delete an old one if it becomes unusable? Apple's system would allow for that as well.
People have often used disposable accounts as a means of fighting spam, but Apple's system would enable you to continue checking a single inbox for all your communication.

Color-Matching Problem
Our customer is rejecting parts because it says the flat black paint used on them is not black enough. How do we quantify the problem? Would a colorimeter be useful for inspection?
Q. Our customer is rejecting parts because it says the flat black paint (MIL-PRF-22750, Fed. Std. 595 color 37038) used on them is not black enough. Color is very critical because our parts stack up with other parts, and the stack-up is visible to the final customer. We have the official color chip but are having difficulty judging acceptability.
The painted parts we receive look black enough when viewed straight on but can appear gray/black when viewed from an angle. Our supplier is using paint certified to the MIL-SPEC. The painted surface of problem parts tends to be rough to the touch and marks very easily. The roughness abrades off skin when touched with bare hands, or abrades off fibers and particles when wiped with a cloth or swab.
Featured Content
We are having difficulty rejecting parts that will not satisfy our customer because we don't know how to quantify the problem. Would a colorimeter be useful for inspection? Do you have any recommendations for how to inspect and for how to correct the situation? —M.D.
A. Color perception, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder. It is a complicated matter. Simply stated, color perception depends on a number of factors, including the illumination, the background, the age and condition of the eye of the viewer, and the viewing angle. Even under the same illumination, background and viewing angle, it is possible that 12 different viewers will give 12 different description of the same color sample. It is amazing how many different color descriptions you can get from the same sample.
When inspecting colors visually or instrumentally, the paint film must be viewed at a 90-degree angle so that the viewer is observing reflected and not incident light. This will enable him to exclude specular reflection. This is especially true of ultra-flat finishes like those you seem to be applying. Furthermore, it sounds like your painted surface is as rough as an emery board. Perhaps you have an application issue that is contributing to your problem. I suggest you check the gloss first to make sure you are in the proper range.
Owing to the aforementioned facts, I believe you need the help of a color expert. You can't make the color determination by committee, however; you must assign one person to be the color expert. It is important to have that person inspect each paint sample.
I suggest you contact suppliers of color and gloss meters and related equipment for a solution. You can start by going to pfonline.com and clicking on Suppliers, then Painting and then Testing Equipment, color or gloss.

A candidate for alderman in Chicago's 44th ward is building an online portal that he says will hold politicians' feet to the fire.
Representatives elected by the people no longer represent the people. That's how Mark Thomas, a candidate for alderman in Chicago's 44th ward, describes the state of American politics in 2013. But Thomas has some ideas to change that. He has a website and a plan.
In early January 2014, Thomas is scheduled to launch a working version of WeThePeople44.org, a "hyperlocal" online forum and community meeting portal. Designed to include as many locals as possible, the website encourages people to register to vote, and gives people an outlet to discuss local issues that affect them. "I believe these types of social democratic websites that allow people to communicate are going to take the power back," he said.
With the federal government now shut down and Congress' approval rating just above 10 percent, Thomas said he's recently begun wondering what kind of world he will be leaving for his children if he doesn't try to change something. A community activist for the past 30 years, Thomas said the future of democracy has been right in front of people for years with the tools the Internet provides – it just needs to be applied correctly.
Thomas is apparently something of a local character, a role he seems to embrace. "Weird is the new normal," he said. Almost 59 years old, Thomas drives a Cadillac hearse, reports his income directly to the Federal Reserve (by choice), and owns a store called The Alley, billed as "the Midwest's premier shop for bikers, punks, goths, rockers and all alt-styles." In an online editorial, one of Thomas' two daughters wrote that "almost everyone in Chicago has had some kind of problem with my dad." Thomas' unapologetic manner of speaking makes it easy to imagine that he's made at least a few enemies in Chicago.
"After hundreds of community meetings, I began to recognize that the process had become flawed, and you ended up with the vocal minority, the people who always showed up at these meetings who didn't necessarily represent the complete community," Thomas said. Many cities and local governments have online portals that archive public meetings and allow people to watch live meetings online, but Thomas said his idea is different because it doesn't just use technology to continue the political tradition. In his view, it can actually transform the dynamic of the political process and bring about change.
One of the biggest problems with politics today is that so many people don't vote or even register to vote, Thomas said, and that's one of the things he will try to address locally with his website. The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners (BEC) allowed Thomas access to his ward's voter registration data, which he will use to confirm whether site users are registered to vote. Registered voters will be allowed to access a special forum on the site that will not be available to unregistered voters.
Unregistered voters will be segregated into their own area on the site. Likewise, business owners who register with the site and verify their status as 44th ward business owners will gain access to a business owners forum. Users of all three forums will be able to participate in mock votes on issues and sign up to speak during public meetings. Users unable to attend public meetings will be able to Tweet into the meeting as they watch from home.
To ensure that their local meetings promote equality and are well organized, Thomas said they will hire a professional organizer to plan them. Everyone who attends will RSVP, and each person who signs up to speak will be allowed three minutes before their microphone is turned off.
Results of mock votes will be publicly available on the website, displayed for each of the three groups -- registered voters, unregistered voters, and business owners. And while an elected official isn't compelled to vote the same way as the people have, if most registered voters vote one way in a mock vote and an elected official votes the other way in a real vote, there could be real consequences. That official could very well be replaced in the next election, Thomas said, and that's how democracy is supposed to work.
The site will provide transparency and an opportunity for people to speak and be heard, he said. Many of the design choices are informed by his experiences as a long-time local activist. One of the ways they will limit the influence of the vocal minority is by limiting the number and length of posts that people are allowed to make on the website. This way, he said, the forum won't be dominated by just a few passionate people.
In the beginning, he said, they will recruit heavily in the community, calling business owners (most of whom Thomas said he knows already), and knocking on doors to get people to participate. The process will evolve as they see what works best, he said.
The website was built using WordPress because they wanted a low-tech, open-source approach that can be shared with other communities and easily change as they figure out what works best. If this catches on, he said, it could transform the political process into something similar to what existed in the early years of the nation.
"Someone asked me, 'What happens if you lose the election?'" he said. "As long as the website gets out, I'm a big winner."

"The most affordable foods, the most inflation-resistant foods, the most accessible foods are the least healthy foods. ... When you marry this information to the information on what our policies do at the farm level, it's hard to escape the conclusion that what Americans are overeating is exactly what we're incenting our farmers to produce."
-- David Wallinga, senior adviser in science, food and health at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy in Minneapolis. Wallinga delivered the 2013 M. E. John Lecture on April 19 in the Agricultural Sciences and Industries Building on Penn State's University Park campus. His talk, titled "Growing Health: A Vision for U.S. Food and Agriculture Policy," was sponsored by the Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology and Education, and by the College of Agricultural Sciences.
The founder of HealthyFoodAction.org, Wallinga applies a systems lens to think about health impacts of food and how it is produced, processed, packaged and distributed in today's globalized food system.
Wallinga argues that the food system, and the agricultural ecosystem on which it depends, face issues related to climate change, fossil-fuel reliance and uneven economic development. In addition, he notes that the nation's health care system is beset by an epidemic of food- and diet-related chronic diseases that threatens to bankrupt private and public budgets.
"Right now there's an enormous shortfall when we compare what people ought to be eating with what they are eating," Wallinga explained. For example, current consumption of fruit in the U.S. is only 40 percent of what it ought to be, and consumption of legumes is only 18 percent of what it ought to be. Wallinga encouraged his audience to consider the agricultural opportunities that would result if Americans were consuming 100 percent of the recommended quantities of these healthy foods. "Imagine how many more farms would need to be recruited to create that output," Wallinga said. "Imagine further that we could incent domestic farmers to serve this new market, what an economic boom that might be."

With the CDA command, you can identify or change the current directory object for your session.
With an established current directory object, you can specify a file identifier in a DML file access statement without including the name of the directory object. Some examples of file access statements are FILECOPY, FILEMOVE, FILEDELETE, EXPORT, and IMPORT.
CDA [directory-alias]
A text expression that specifies the directory object that you want to be the current one for your session.
When you do not specify this argument, CDA sends the name of the current directory object to the current outfile. When there is no current directory object, the statement reports that fact.
Usage Notes
Specifying a File Identifier with an Established Current Directory Object
The following statement moves the file
log.txt from your session's current directory object to file
oldlog.txt in a directory object called
FILECOPY 'log.txt' 'backup/oldlog.txt'
Setting Up a Directory Object
A database administrator must set up a directory object and give you access to it.
Example 9-60 Specifying the Current Directory Object
The following statement identifies
mydir as the current directory object.
CDA 'mydir'

Hi, ALL,
In the Visual Studio if you open too many windows, in the "Window" menu an additional menu will be added - "Windows...". When you select this menu, the dialog pops-up which displays all open documents and user can select which document to close, which to select/activate.
Is this handler (i.e. showing dialog) provided by Windows itself or I have to write some message handler?
Thank you.
