I'm starting a small website that will be backed by a database, and will allow a small number of users to authenticate and select an entry in the database, and then view (and optionally update) a corresponding entry (think master-detail).
I have some flexibility in how I'll do this, but I'd really like to incorperate some newer AJAX style coding, eliminating some page postbacks. I think this is a great opportunity to learn the concepts well.
I'll probably go with an ASP.NET 4.0 site. From what I've seen there are MANY ways to go about this:
-WCF Data Services to expose the data, and consume in ASP.NET
-Page methods to expose the data, separate method to update the data
-I'd rather avoid the UpdatePanel because I'm really looking for a full hands-on approach, with learning client side scripting being an objective as well.
Beyond that, it seems that one can use jQuery to build clientside templates, but also one can use the ASP.NET AJAX template engine (in ASP.NET 4.0 I believe).
A concern I have: users should only be able to work with the data exposed via these endpoints if they are logged into the website. Hopefully I can somehow reuse the ASP.NET forms authentication cookie for this purpose.
Well, I hope I've posted enough to a
Hi all,
Please let me know is there anything else i can do i really would like use this effect.
P.S all the effect have the same render problem, and i am using ie8 under compatibility mode.
I have a User Control (ascx) and a property which a want to display in my categories tab in Visual Studio in the category named "Styles".
[Category("Styles"), DefaultValue(""), Description("The value for formating something.")]public String MyFormatProperty{ set { /* the code for set */; } get { /* the code for get */; }}
And here is the problem: Actually I do not need a get, because I only have to set the property (write only property). But when I omit the get, the property is displayed in the "Misc" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio. Only when I code the get as well, then the property is displayed correctly in the "Styles" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio.
Does anybody know why? How can I display the category correctly only with set?
Thanks, S.

Each week, Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston will answer questions from readers about the Ravens. You can submit questions during every game to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are this week's questions:
In the Week 1 loss, Joe Flacco had 62 attempts. In the Week 2 win, he had 33 and against the Texans he had 24. Sure, for all the money he's making, he should be getting a lot of opportunities to throw the ball, but do you think this offense runs more efficiently when he's throwing 40 percent and the Ravens are running 60 percent? -- Bill, Owings Mills
The Ravens have a good ratio right now. They have had some injuries and they have some new faces in...

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Healthy Eating
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
The Radicals that Wreak Havoc
Wrinkles aren't the only ones working to carry out more evil on your face. Their best friends, free radicals, help them do some of their dirty work. Free radicals are oxygen molecules that are potentially harmful to the skin. They are created during normal metabolic functions and they are fueled by certain environmental conditions. Free radicals gain strength when you expose your face to smoking, too much sun, pollution and stress. Even though wrinkles and free radicals can't always be completely stopped in their evil plot, there are ways you can prevent them from totally taking over your life...and your face. In this soap opera, wrinkles and vitamins have been life-long enemies. They especially don't like vitamins A, C and E. Why? Because these vitamins like to pick fights with wrinkles' best friend, free radicals. These vitamins reduce the amount of potentially damaging free radicals and help protect skin from aging when exposed to UV rays.
Vitamin A: The Nourishing Know-How
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is essential to keep the skin, and eyes moist. The more dry your skin is, the more wrinkles will form. To avoid dry skin and to fuel your vitamin A intake, there are certain foods you can eat. Foods that are high in vitamin A are things like carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, and red bell peppers. Vitamin A is strong because it has the ability to stay present in cooked food. If you don't like eating raw carrots, you don't have to worry about cooking them because you will still get your necessary dose of vitamin A. Vitamin A can also be found in various animal proteins, like fish, which also contributes to the maintenance of mucous membranes and promotes bone and tooth development.
Vitamin C: The Dependable Dependent
One of vitamin A's most trusted colleagues is its good friend, vitamin C. Vitamin C is known for keeping things in working order. Even though vitamin C is great at keeping things organized, it often needs to lean on the human body for strength. Our bodies cannot make vitamin C on our own, so it is essential that we supply ourselves with it. Vitamin C helps hold body cells together, aids in wound healing, assists in bone and tooth formation, and strengthens blood vessel walls. It has limited storage capacity, though, which is why regular and adequate intake is essential. Foods that contain vitamin C are red bell peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, strawberries and oranges. Without a healthy dose of vitamin C, you can't fight wrinkles because your body won't produce antioxidants. Vitamin C needs your support in order to survive the drama of wrinkles and to help your body be at its antioxidant best.
Vitamin E: The Brawny Bodyguard
Vitamins A and C are also close with vitamin E. Vitamin E is the big brother of the group who protects vitamins A and C from destruction. Vitamin E is also the protector of cell membranes, essential fatty acids, and red blood cells.
In many ways, vitamin E could also be known as the great protector of your body. Without it, your body could not produce antioxidants in your skin that are used to protect your skin cells from UV damage. With a deficiency of vitamin E, your skin cells would become very weak and unprotected from the sun's damaging rays. In order to keep the flow of vitamin E in your body going, you should eat foods like olives, almonds, spinach, blueberries and raw sunflower seeds. These foods give vitamin E the strength it needs to protect the rest of the vitamin group, as well as the rest of your body.
Enough with the Drama…
Wrinkles can be evil, but they can be prevented from spreading unnecessary drama all over your face. With a healthy diet that consists of the above mentioned food groups, your clan of heroes, vitamins A, C, and E will be ready to do battle against wrinkles as powerful antioxidants. With these vitamins, and a healthy diet from BistroMD you can fight the free radicals and stop the drama from turning into more stress on your face.

Isabella and I
Isabella is cool and confident
Bella is shy and hardworking
Isabella is a cheerleader
Bella is a friendmaker.
Bella and Isabella are total opposites.
Problem is, they're the same person
Okay, this has a rather random theme. And also, slightly non/canon in parts. Don't get offended! It's just a story. Oh, and Alice isn't a vampire yet. Jasper found the Cullen's on his own. Bella, also isn't a vampire but the other Cullen's are (like normal)
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 540 Review this Chapter
I got up early that Monday morning, earlier then normal, and I had a feeling something special was going to happen. I had time on my hands so I cooked Charlie pancakes for breakfast. I'd just slipped the stack on the table with a pot of butter and a jug of maple syrup when he came downstairs.
"It looks wonderful Bells"
"Thanks dad" I didn't eat any myself, just a bowl of cereal. I wanted some pancakes but I really couldn't be asked to make any more. I went upstairs and emptied my bag. I groaned at the amount of makeup in it.
How did that get there? I thought to myself. I put my school books back in, along with my homework that I'd done on Sunday. It was strange, there was more that needed doing on Saturday then I remembered being set. I also, couldn't remember what I'd done on Sunday which was odd. Maybe I was just tired. I seemed to be forgetting a stuff lately, not minor stuff like who I was and that. I just couldn't remember what I'd done the day before. It had started a few months ago, when I'd first come to Forks. My watch beeped. After my early start, I still might be late for school! I hurried off.
I was relieved to escape to the cool babble of the cafeteria.
"And she just waltz's around with the cheerleaders, acting like she owns the place"
"Who does?" I asked, sitting down.
"That total COW Isabella!" said Jessica.
"Oh her" I'd never actually met Isabella but she was famous through out the school as being totally cool and rather mean. She was like, the star of the cheerleading squad and was apparently quiet smart but she didn't bother with working hard. A draft hit me as the canteen door opened. The Cullen's walked in.
"Ah...they are gorgeous!" sighed Jessica. Jasper and Rosalie Hale, and Edward and Emmett Cullen.
"I'll see you later gorgeous!" said Rosalie. She waved bye to Emmett and headed to the cheerleaders table. Only the elite got to sit at that table. Rosalie Hale was the head of the cheerleader squad. Her right hand girl, Alice Brandon, was about the only girl on that table who was nice to us.
"Yes they are" I watched the Cullen's. Edward Cullen was so gorgeous! He glanced over at me and my eyes shot down. I'd loved him ever since I'd first come here. I knew there was something abnormal about him though.
"Bella!" Jessica hissed.
"What?" I whispered.
"Edward Cullen is coming over to see you!"
"Shhh" I demanded. I looked up and saw that she was right.
"Bella" said a musical voice.
"Err...hi Edward" I didn't dare look into his eyes.
"Hi. I wanted to talk to you. You know that biology homework that's due in today? I wanted to ask you if you'd done it. I kind of got distracted last night..."
"Sure I did it. Do you want to copy it?"
"Thanks. I owe you big time!" he smiled a gorgeous crooked smile and walked off.
"Wow. Edward Cullen actually spoke to you!"
"I know! It was so random"
"Oh well. Let's go, we've got trig"

Car Review
2012 Lotus Evora: New Car Review
Pros: Impressive fuel economy; exceptional handling; dynamic styling
Cons: Driving visibility is limited; rear seat is an extra-cost option
The Lotus brand is about to go through big changes. The Evora is one of the last Lotuses built according to the automaker's founding mission to build light, simple and fast cars. In the next few years, Lotus will begin rolling out bigger, heavier models with more horsepower. But for now, you can still enjoy that traditional Lotus feeling in the Evora, the top model in the Lotus lineup.
With a base price of $66,100, the Evora competes against such sports cars as the Nissan GT-R and the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette is a hammer, the GT-R is a laser-guided missile and the Evora is a scalpel. Where the GT-R uses computer wizardry and the Corvette uses brute force, the Lotus's strengths are its precision and balance.
Comfort and Utility
If there are any two things people don't typically associate with the Lotus brand, they would be comfort and utility. Lotus is renowned for delivering a visceral driving experience, inspiring exhilaration and excitement - but not comfort and not utility.
The Evora is different. No, it doesn't have any practical utility to speak of - witness its tiny optional back seat and small trunk space - but, unlike its brand underlings, it's quite comfortable. Lotus is pitting the Evora against bigger, more luxurious sports cars, so it had to be bigger and softer than the entry-level Elise. And it is, noticeably so.
The interior is cramped, but by Lotus standards it's big. The sport seats are covered in soft leather that cradle the body in the corners but also absorb the shock of hard road surfaces that the suspension can't sufficiently dampen. The Evora also has a carpeted floor, which the Elise doesn't.
Although it doesn't look like it, the Evora has ample headroom. For that, thanks are surely due to the insistence of Lotus's chief technical officer, six-foot-six Wolf Zimmermann. Unlike other small sports cars, the Evora has enough head and leg room for even very tall drivers to sit upright with legs comfortably extended.
The Evora differs from Lotuses past in that it contains modern entertainment and media technology, including a specially designed Alpine seven-inch touchscreen multimedia system. Uniquely, the satellite navigation is removable so that customers can program it in the comfort of their home or take it with them when in an unfamiliar pedestrian location.
The Alpine Imprint audio system in the Evora is one of the most sophisticated systems in the automotive world. It is able to cancel out sound imbalances caused by the cabin's window glass, resulting in amazingly crisp, clear and undistorted sound from any seating position.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The standard Evora is fitted with a mid-mounted 3.5-liter V6. Licensed from Toyota, it makes 276 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Evora will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 163 mph with the six-speed manual transmission and 159 mph with the Lotus Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, which is controlled with paddle shifters.
The supercharged Evora S, with the same 3.5-liter V6, produces 345 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, will go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and has top speeds of 167 mph (manual) and 178 mph (automatic).
The Evora is remarkably fuel efficient considering its impressive performance figures. The standard Evora is said by the EPA to get 19 mpg in town and 28 mpg on the highway with the automatic transmission and 17/26 mpg with the six-speed manual.
Lotus is obsessed with lightness and precision, but that does not mean a lack of attention to safety. The Evora's aluminum tub chassis, similar to that on the Elise, has incredible inherent strength, especially in side impacts. Cleverly, Lotus has designed a tubular steel seatbelt anchor frame that acts like a rollover structure and adds torsional strength to the chassis as a whole.
In addition to the aluminum tub chassis, aluminum front and steel rear subframes have been attached to the tub using joints designed to minimize damage to the tub in a collision for better passenger protection.
ABS and traction control are both standard, and airbags are standard for both driver and passenger. The passenger's-side airbag has been cleverly engineered to deploy vertically and deflect rearward off the windscreen to protect children as well as adults.
Driving Impressions
For those familiar with traditional Lotus driving characteristics, the Evora will feel like a natural evolution in the company's performance heritage. The uninitiated will be impressed by the Evora's distinctive driving feel.
The Evora has a very quick steering ratio, which means the steering wheel doesn't need to be moved much to glide the car through sharp corners. And glide it does. The Evora's suspension and stiff body allow for quick, composed and level cornering, which lets drivers get back on the accelerator.
The brute force created by the standard 3.5-liter is more than enough power to let most drivers to push their limits. With the engine, mounted directly behind the passenger compartment, producing a loud exhaust note, the Evora will send shivers up the spine of any driving enthusiast.
Customers who step up to the Evora S will be delighted not only with improved acceleration but also the auditory pleasure of the supercharger's whine added to the throaty exhaust note.
We will admit that the Evora isn't perfect. Its greatest shortcoming is limited outward visibility that, coupled with the car's low height, can make it nerve-wracking to drive in traffic among large SUVs and trucks.
Out alone on a track or a country road, though, few vehicles can match the sheer stripped-down driving pleasure of the Evora. On a sunny day, howling through a mountain pass, the Evora becomes its own form of therapy. Hammering the accelerator, running through the gears and grinning will effectively melt away a driver's stresses and worries.
Other Cars to Consider
Nissan GT-R - Starting at $96,820, the GT-R is nearly on the opposite end of the sports car spectrum in philosophy. The GT-R is packed with computers and technical wizardry designed to improve performance and handling. The Evora is far more stripped down and simple, relying on efficient design and algorithms to improve performance.
Porsche Cayman - With a base price of $51,900 and a 265-hp engine, the Cayman is the Evora's most direct competitor. Arguably, the Cayman is a bit blander-looking than the Evora, but it's just as exhilarating to drive.
Chevrolet Corvette - The 1LT Corvette coupe with a 430-hp V8 runs $49,600. The Corvette is an American hammer of a sport coupe. It's far less precise than the Evora but definitely worth a look.
AutoTrader Recommendations
The base Evora costs $66,100, but for an extra $10,000, you can get the much more exciting Evora S. In the long run, we think this is the better investment, not only for motoring pleasure but also for resale value.

2009 Processor of the Year: Nestle USA
A $101 billion global company works hard at understanding shoppers with a $60 weekly food budget.
It was only a matter of time before the world's largest food & beverage company became the largest processor in the U.S. and Canada. Nestlé SA's various operations in our two countries have been growing sales aggressively the past decade through a mixture of organic growth and acquisitions.
When we applied our unique analysis this summer to sales figures for this year's Top 100© list, we had a new leader. Nestlé's U.S. and Canadian operations together increased revenues by 14 percent in 2008 to $26.5 billion. Their parent, Nestlé SA of Vevey, Switzerland, had 2008 sales of $101 billion.
While Nestlé's operations in North America include several separate companies, at the core of all this activity is the broadest-based operation, Nestlé USA, based in Glendale, Calif. The $10 billion company encompasses beverages (both milk-based and coffees and teas), confections (Butterfinger, Nestlé Crunch, Wonka products), ice cream (Dreyer's/Edy's and Haagen-Dazs) and frozen food products (Buitoni, Lean Cuisine, Stouffer's).
Our Processor of the Year is an award for more than just size or financial performance. Nestlé USA is a leader in new product development, having debuted 70 new items this year. Not just a marketing organization, the company has 26 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and manufactures the majority of its products. Nestlé puts a heavy emphasis on volunteerism and is a major supporter of Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest), the country's largest hunger relief charity.
For these reasons and many more, Nestlé USA is our Processor of the Year.
At Nestlé USA, a number of products enjoyed great years. "In 2008, our baking business grew 11 percent in sales and increased its market share," according to Brad Alford, chairman and CEO of Nestlé USA since 2006. "This growth was due to new product introductions, including Nestlé Toll House refrigerated cookie dough tubs, and increased distribution. Also, the Hot Pockets and Lean Pockets brands increased sales by 8.7 percent because of new product introductions and reformulations throughout the product lines.
"Our Ready-to-Drink chilled business also had good growth thanks to our new state-of-the-art aseptic factory in Anderson, Ind.," he adds.
(Nestlé USA does not include Nestlé Waters North America, Nestlé Purina PetCare, Nestlé Nutrition (Gerber baby food and health care products) and Nestlé Professional, or Nestlé Canada.)
Corporate values
Two themes seem to permeate this organization. First is the stated goal from the Swiss parent, that Nestlé SA is transforming itself into a "nutrition, health and wellness" company. That's a tall order when two of your most famous products worldwide are candy bars and ice cream.
But Nestlé USA and other units explain it as "the key to a well-lived life is a combination of physical activity and a balanced diet"; "making smart decisions, both big and small"; and "providing convenient, nutritious and delicious foods."
"We focus on three nutrition messages," explains Chavanne Hanson, Nestlé USA's "wellness champion," and one of 85 Nestlé SA wellness champions around the globe. "No. 1 is positive nutrition – but with taste and pleasure at the core. No. 2 is moderation and variety – to achieve a balanced and healthy diet. No. 3 is authenticity and transparency – clearly sharing the nutritional value and nutrition content including fat, calories and sodium of all our products.
"With this in mind, all foods can play a role in the context of a healthy diet," she says.
Moreover, it means tweaking recipes in every product line for optimal wellness benefits without sacrificing taste; providing healthier options of nearly every product for those who need them (and not forcing them on those who don't); and reminding consumers that self-control plays a big role in health — that with a sensible choice for lunch, a mid-afternoon candy bar is OK; that with a healthy dinner, a little ice cream is an acceptable nightcap.
Asked what would be the most important point to get across, Alford says: "That all of us at Nestlé USA are passionate about giving consumers great-tasting and nutritious foods and beverages they can feel good about serving to their families. We know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires making smart decisions, which is why we make it a priority to provide consumers with better-for-you options as well as nutritional information."
The other theme is "Creating Shared Value." It was developed at Swiss headquarters and posits that a company cannot deliver long-term value for its shareholders without contributing to society. "It is not philanthropy or an add-on, but a fundamental part of our business strategy," says the corporate report on the subject. "We need to create value for the people in the countries where we are present. This includes the farmers, who supply us, our employees, our consumers and the communities where we operate." And later: "We need to demonstrate responsible behavior – by assuring compliance and sustainability."

Still too soon to say
Sam Farmer
Of course the Packers stand a chance of going undefeated in the regular season. Will they? I doubt it.
We're just five weeks into the season, and so many things can happen over the next 11 games — key injuries, a letdown, or simply a good team that's better than Green Bay on that particular day. Plus, there's the likelihood that if the Packers were to build a comfortable lead in the division — no guarantee, considering how Detroit is playing — they would take their foot off the pedal, rest some starters, and coast into the postseason.
It wasn't so long ago that the 14-0 Colts did that, and, despite all the criticism from their fans, made it to the Super Bowl.
If Rodgers stays healthy
Steve Svekis
Sun Sentinel
If Aaron Rodgers, who is clearly the best quarterback in the NFL, avoids a significant injury, the Pack could become the second team in NFL history to finish the regular season 16-0.
To that end, the loss of left tackle Chad Clifton could be an issue. Barring such an injury setback, though, the Packers have three games that stand out as challenges unless they throw in an unforeseen clunker: They are in San Diego after a Green Bay off week and a pair against the undefeated Lions.
Interestingly, the finale at Lambeau against the Lions may be the most problematic. If the Pack has home field wrapped up by then, they may take the foot off the pedal against a division foe they may play in the postseason.
They showed vulnerability
Morning Call
A chance for the Packers to finish unbeaten? Yes.
Likely? No.
The Falcons showed, at least for a little more than a half, that Green Bay can be slowed and held to field goals.
Look for the Packers to stumble either at San Diego on Nov. 6 or against the Lions on what is now a very appetizing early Thanksgiving Day game, or the week after at the Giants, who are capable of beating — or losing to — anybody.
And even if the Packers are still perfect entering a Christmas Day game against the Bears, Mike McCarthy might want to give his starters, especially Mr. Rodgers, a day off — assuming that the NFC North and the No. 1 seed throughout the NFC playoffs are locked up.
Packers could do it
Dan Pompei
Going undefeated is highly improbable. Injuries hit. Bad bounces happen. Opponents rise up beyond their capabilities.
But the Packers are playing well enough to go 16-0, or 19-0, and there appears to be a considerable gap between them and the rest of the NFL. No other team appears to be as balanced or as dominant, or as capable of overcoming adversity.
They have stability, excellent coaching, a difference-making quarterback, multiple weapons on offense, playmakers on defense and remarkable depth.
Teams change over a season, so there is no guarantee that the Packers of December will look like the Packers of October. But it's difficult to imagine this team being anything but exceptional.

We Must Deject This House: Mitt Romney's Terminal Speech
While regular-sized Mitt Romney stood inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum, telling regular-sized fables, his 40-foot-high head boomed from the side of a parking garage. The image called for blood-red banners and black bunting, for Dwight Schrute pounding the podium and yelling, "BLOOD ALONE MOVES THE WHEELS OF HISTORY." Instead, Mitt pulled an awkward smile, wincing and unconvincing, unctuously excusing himself into our hearts—the Jim Halpert of the annals American politics.
For a man speaking to a captive and friendly audience, Romney faced an uphill battle. Having supported and abandoned so many policies in his five-year presidential quest, even those committed to pulling a lever for him wanted to hear something like certitude. Romney needed to declare not only his program but himself. Even so, supporters differed on what he most needed to say.
"His flip-flops in recent years, just going back and forth on multiple issues—the proof is in the past. I don't know how you write it off," said Michelle Gearrity, a Long Island native interning at the Republican National Convention via a Washington Center academic seminar. "I feel he's going to be headstrong on jobs. That's why I'm supporting him. That's his strong point. He might have to pull out something else. I don't know."
That messaging uncertainty extended to others who pledged to vote for him in November.
"He has to confirm that he has the caring, the compassion for the common man, for the people, for America, get that message out," said Peter Beck, chairman of the Ohio House of Representatives' Ways and Means Committee, who has met Romney on multiple occasions. "You don't get that feeling of warmth until you get to know him, but he has the charisma where he can lead and do the job, he just has to open his arms for everybody else."
Jaclin Recchia, a New Jersey native who worked on the Committee on Arrangements for the RNC, echoed Beck. "He needs to show himself more as a regular human being. Hopefully he can pull that one out. Ann [Romney] did a wonderful job of humanizing him, and hopefully he can follow up. I would like to hear more about his family and everyday life and less about Bain, because we know about that."
But while some backers wished for the atmospheric, soft-focus touch, others wanted Romney to play to the clinical and technocratic mind that he brought to Bain Capital.
"He needs to communicate what his plan is," said Patty Calarco, a real estate investor who divides her time between Nevada and Connecticut. "What he would really do about Obamacare and how he would repeal it. What he really would do to create jobs and how he would create jobs. What about the housing market? Specifically about jobs. Specifically about taxes. Specifically about what he would do about Medicare, rather than say, 'Our plan is to save Medicare.' Be specific."
Then there were those almost guaranteed to remain unpersuaded.
"If Mitt Romney were to come out and speak against the rule changes [on Ron Paul delegates] that would do a lot to get the Liberty movement back into the Republican party," said Scott MacDonald, a software engineer, Massachusetts alternate delegate and Ron Paul supporter. "We're Republicans. We're not going anywhere. We think we're the future."
Despite pledging to vote for Romney as he was duty-bound, as a delegate, MacDonald and other Paul supporters from his state were presented with affidavits unnecessarily demanding fealty to Romney, then uncertified as delegates, then reinstated. For some of them, that was enough.
"I have no problem saying this here: in my short voting lifetime, I've always voted Republican, proud Republican, lifelong Republican. More often than not, you have my vote," said Eric Romaniak, a colleague of MacDonald's from Massachusetts. "But if you slap me in the face and tell me you don't want my vote, you're not getting it. Gary Johnson's getting my vote."
Ultimately, Romney failed to provide the specifics that Patty Calarco wished to hear, instead promoting a kind of Reader's Digest version of comforting American pop-history. Nor did he rebuke the party infighting and delegate swindling that sent countless Ron Paul supporters, like MacDonald, streaming out the exits while chanting their outrage.
Instead, he played to Peter Beck and Jaclin Recchia's hopes, with a prolonged and orchestrated handshake march up to the podium and long personal anecdotes about fatherhood, family and work.
If you walked the Times Forum concourses, though, as countless delegates did (perhaps searching for a famous politico or journalist), you heard none of that. Instead, you caught images of Romney on silent flat-screen televisions.
There, without sound, attendees saw an accidental and unfiltered version of the man. The 30º head-pan to the side, punctuating a comment. The earnest head tilt and eye-widening. The aw-geez half-smile that looked as if he were regretfully trying to chew on the corners of his mouth. The spoon-feeding face he's worn after every significant statement since the 2008 primaries.
Romney's speech, as countless others have noted, was aggressively generic. Hopeful without commitment to program, damning without adherence to fact, spiritual without religion, elegiac without actual history. Romney tried very hard to be all things to all people. But if you turned off the sound, it was plain how much he was nothing at all.

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - Investigators are zeroing in on the driver after a Greyhound bus headed from Cincinnati to Detroit flipped on September 14, sending 35 victims to the hospital.
Preliminary reports state that some sort of medical condition led to the crash. Investigation revealed that the driver of the bus, 64-year-old Dwayne Garrett, was drinking coffee, started coughing and passed out. The bus then drove off the right side of I-75 in Liberty Township, crashing into a tree and fence before coming to rest on its side.
Fifty two people were on-board at the time. Thirty-five patients were transported to local hospitals; twenty-eight via ground and six via air.
A bus inspection found that the vehicle was mechanically sound.
Garrett, of Cincinnati, released a statement saying that he voluntarily had blood drawn for sampling. Results from the blood tests could take weeks to process.
Authorities say charges still could be filed against Garrett.

On last night's Watch What Happens Live, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Camille Grammer graced Andy Cohen with her presence in the clubhouse. Joining her was rocker – and Ashlee Simpson ex – Pete Wentz, who will be hosting a new tattoo competition show on Oxygen. Andy addresses the tragedy in Boston, and declares it a night where everyone needs a drink. That said, there is no drinking game word…you just drink when the word "Drink" flashes across the screen. Seems easy enough for me! The bartender is the guy who designed the logo that is Andy's face which can be found on most of the Mazel products.
Andy opens the vault to reveal two clips of Camille scantily dressed and dancing on '90's late night shows. She admits to having a breast reduction since those glory days. My, my, my! Those are some jugs. Pete compliments the current state of Camille's rack. The poll question involves Real Housewives of Orange County, and Andy wonders if Briana had the right to ban Brooks Ayers from her mother's house.

The Transportation Security Administration just can't win as it tries to appease both sides of the personal privacy vs. national security debate, and a TSA official said June 1 that the agency might tip the scales slightly toward privacy.
At a meeting with irritated Alaskans, Scott Johnson, TSA field operations manager, said the agency is considering a risk-based system for ranking the threat of individual travelers, writes the Associated Press' Dan Joling. Johnson met Alaskans who want to change screening procedures for some travelers, convened by the United States for Travel Freedom Caucus, according to a post at the "Truth is Contagious" blog.
Alaska state representative Sharon Cissna offered the primary horror story for the discussion. A cancer survivor who had a mastectomy, Cissna refused a pat-down in Seattle while traveling home to Alaska and ended up taking the slow boat to Alaska — literally. Her journey included a two-day ferry ride from British Columbia to Juneau, writes the Associated Press' Becky Bohrer.
During the round table discussion hosted by Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Cissna and others asked TSA to reconsider pat-downs for travelers with special needs, such as sexual trauma victims or people with specific health concerns, Joling writes. Johnson said TSA is looking into a risk-based system that avoids qualifying as profiling while still alleviating the need to subject every traveler to arguably invasive pat-downs.
As we wrote in May, TSA defends its position that pat-downs are a necessary security option to protect all travelers. For travelers who refuse to pass through full-body scan devices — and TSA asserted in a blog post that they don't present any serious radiation threats — a pat-down is in store.
From Texas legislators to "Saturday Night Live" comedians, TSA has become the object of criticism and ridicule. A post on the Beaumont Enterprise's "The Bayou" blog features a clever clip of the SNL crew poking fun at the salacious security measures.
Sexy Lady No. 1: Looking for a little human interaction?
Sexy Lady No. 2: Do you want to feel contact in certain special places?
TSA agent: Then why not go through security at an airport?
Of course, the blog serving the Beaumont, Texas, community points out that plenty of people don't find anything funny about the perceived government-sanctioned molestation. The blog references Texas lawmakers' recent decision to can legislation that would allow police to arrest and charge TSA agents for sexual molestation — only after the federal government threatened to ban flights from departing in Texas. And a recent settlement further riles up the anti-TSA legions in Texas.
According to the United Kingdom's Daily Mail Reporter, TSA paid $2,350 in a settlement with an Amarillo, Texas, woman who sued the agency for negligence and infliction of emotional distress when her breasts were exposed during a pat-down in the Corpus Christi, Texas, airport. The small dollar figure angered the blog writer in Beaumont, who points out the total barely covers legal fees in the case.
In addition to its attempt protect the U.S. transportation system — the mission statement doesn't mention privacy — TSA is battling a major public relations fiasco. Although the agency won the battle with Texas, Utah looks like the next state that will challenge the federal agency. According to USA Today's David Grossman, Utah state representative Carl Wimmer is preparing a bill that resembles Texas' failed version and would ban pat-downs in Utah.

I am traveling in 4 days with two toddlers.
I am dismayed by the child, toddler and even infant "pat downs".
My husband is a physician and feels strongly that we all avoid the scanners. According to CNN about 50% of physicians avoid the full body scanners. I am also opposed to virtual nude images of my kids being taken.
I will undergo the pat down if required but under no circumstances will I allow my children to be irradiated, have nude images taken or be touched by TSA officers.
I am gambling on the probability that we will not be selected. I hope to insure this by being very sure we will not set off the metal detectors and by making certain every carry-on item is allowable - no liquid, gel, lotion, metals, plastic forks... I am considering dressing them in swimsuits underneath clothes and run the clothes through the scanner with the bags.
However, if it comes down to it I stand by my convictions and personal limits. However I have been unable to find data on possible consequences: getting arrested, ending up on the no-fly list, fines????????????? There does not seem to be a single case of a parent refusing the scanner / pat down for their kids (also mind boggling).
I would like to hear thoughts, suggestions, or knowledge of specific verified information if available.
American Mom
The "radar" scanner that they want you to use was originally designed after 9/11, but was deemed too intrusive and too expensive. Only after the Underwear Bomber incident did it show it's ugly head again. Since that incident would not have been different with or without the scanners, I assume that the manufacturer had to quietly make a substantial contribution to someone's political campaign account before it was forced on the newly frightened public.
On a recent flight from New Mexico, I was subjected to a pat down AFTER I went through the full body screen. The person said the had to pat (feel) my chest because she did not know what a medical alert fob was. I guess she never heard "I have fallen and can't get up". It was not enough that I pulled it out of my top and showed it to her. They are all power hungry perverts!
yeah so i'm just not flying right now until they get this worked out. if more people stopped flying it would be amazing how fast TSA would self-correct. people have to be willing to do what is necessary to bring stupidity into alignment with reality and in our case as a country our constitution. as we can see, people will run roughshod over others when they're allowed so we all as american's have to be vigilant. it amazes me how many people are sheepling their way through airports. stop flying and watch the changes come in when the money stops and they can't pay the pilots or flight attendants and more importantly... tsa. we people work together we can kick some serious butt!
TSA has proven completely incompetent, posting a 70% failure rate, yet is allowed to continue to jeopardize passenger safety while inflicting countless indignities on a daily basis. Based on TSA statistics a recent article calculated that they grope 1.8 million travelers each month!
Yet the number of people who support the treasonous behavior of TSA is appalling. Their children are being groped by child molesters but some still defend the criminal conduct of this agency. Anyone that is so afraid to fly that that they would consent to having their family strip-searched and their privates groped by a stranger in a public place shouldn't fly. These people are obviously ill equipped to manage the risk that life entails and should stay home. The rest of us should be subjected to reasonable and respectful security, one that does not involve sexual assault. We value our rights and recognize that there are no guarantees in life; certainly none that the incompetents at TSA can provide.
TSA also has a disproportionately high number of criminals for an organization of its size. TSA has 50,000 employees and 26 have been arrested in the last six months, most for crimes committed on the job. By contrast, Microsoft has 84,000 employees and had one, in Japan, arrested for a non job related incident.
Of the twenty six screeners arrested since 12/1/10 most are job related, including drug trafficking, nine were for theft, two for raping fourteen year old girls, one for attempted rape of another fourteen year old, assault and distributing child porn along with a list of lesser crimes. Three were arrested in May for theft from baggage, carrying a loaded gun into the airport and stowing away on a flight to the Dominican Republic. These are the kind of people that TSA hires to grope your children and go through your checked baggage.
Twenty six criminal acts, twenty five security failures, over four thousand groping complaints and dozens of lawsuits, all in six months, yet TSA hasn't stopped one terrorist attack in nine years. The last two attempts were foiled by passengers and citizens, not TSA.
The most sensible approach would be to abolish TSA entirely, assign airport security to the FAA (an agency that actually knows something about air travel) and use private screeners who will treat travelers more humanely. This would eliminate redundant management and administrative roles, improve efficiency, lower costs, improve customer satisfaction and provide a more cohesive air travel system.

Nearly 300 prominent Iraqis selected by the US military met in Iraq on Monday. At the meeting, the delegates agreed to convene a national conference in the next month to create an interim government, according to the Boston Globe. However, only a few Iraqi women attended the meeting, raising concerns that women will not be adequately represented in the rebuilding process. Noeleen Heyzer, executive director of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), argued in the Globe that "the perspectives of women offer the best promise of meaningful reconstruction and the development of a working democracy," urging their inclusion in every step of the process of rebuilding their country. Retired US Army General Jay Garner, who is controlling the Pentagon's civil administration in Iraq, has stressed the importance of representation across religious and ethnic groups, but has so far not adequately included women, who make up 55 percent of Iraq's population.
Iraqi women leaders have expressed concern about the US's lack of inclusion of women in the planning for a new Iraq government. In a meeting held on the transition of the government two weeks ago, there were only four women included among the 80 delegates. A February meeting of Iraqi exiles convened in London by the US government included only three women of 65 participants.
Under the repressive regime of Saddam Hussein, women in Iraq still enjoyed more rights than women in many neighboring countries. Women have the right to drive, to attend coeducational college classes, to work outside the home in offices with men, and to inherit property, among other rights, according to the Los Angeles Times. Iraqi women are concerned that under a fundamentalist religious government, they may lose some of these rights. "We need a government that respects Iraqi and Muslim customs, not a strict Islamic rule that would curb women's rights," businesswoman Fadwa Shehab Ahmend told Voice of America. Dr. Shatha Beserani, an Iraqi exile who founded the Iraqi Women for Peace and Democracy Campaign in 2000, says that any new constitution for Iraq must be drafted by a team equally representing men and women, according to the Times of London.
Lesley Abdela, a senior partner in a gender parity and democracy consulting group, points out that the exclusion of women has been a theme in the rebuilding of nations. Writing in the Times of London, she asked, "why is it that in the aftermath of dictatorship and conflict everyone talks about human rights and democracy, yet women find themselves having to fight hard for any voice at all?" United Nations Resolution 1325, passed in 2000, states "clearly that women must be included in all aspects of peacemaking and peace-building discussions. It didn't happen in Afghanistan and so far it doesn't look like it is being implemented in Iraq. The question we should ask is 'Why'?" asked Dr. Krishna Ahooja-Patel, president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, according to the Times of London.

Taking Advantage of Ad-Aware
Okay first off, let's have a little introduction to Lavasoft's Ad-Aware.
Okay as many of you know, Ad-Aware is one of the leading and (IMO) one of the best spyware/adware scanner's/detector's on the "market". It work's extremely well, is amazing functionality-wise and reliablity-wise and has a good "accuracy" rate so to speak. By that I mean it almost alway's (if not always) find's everything remotely close to a spyware/adware application on your system. As of right now, the current build for Ad-aware is version 6. Now there is a free version and a version you need to purchase to upgrade for another feature called Adwatch. During this tutorial I will be covering mostly the free version. Anyway's, let's move onto using ad-aware, customization, and our first scan!From Ad-aware user manual : What is Ad-aware?
Ad-aware is THE award winning, multi-trackware detection and removal utility (designed for Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / NT40 / 2000 / XP Home / XP Pro) that will comprehensively scan your memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives for known Datamining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, Keyloggers, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.
Ad-aware will provide you with the confidence to surf the Internet knowing that your privacy will remain intact.
Now, when you startup Ad-aware 6 you will get a screen that will show your status. It will alert you of your Last System Scan, Total Object's Removed, Object's Quarantined, Object's in ignore list, and Total Ad-Aware scan's. You can also check for update's to Ad-Aware on the Status page and it is suggested that you always have the latest version of Ad-aware running. Now above the status page you will see various icon's. The second icon is for Configuration setting's which is what we are going to click.
In the Configuration section, you can configure ad-aware to run on startup of Window's (recommended if you are really paranoid you'll have spyware/adware), Automatically save log file (turned on by default), Automatically Quarantine Object's prior to removal (I don't typically do this, I just remove the file's if needed), and Safe Mode (recommended). Going to Scanning, you can customize Drive's/Folder's and Memory/Registry. I suggest Deep Scan Registry, Scan Registry, and Scan Active Processes FOR EVERYONE. This is a MUST in the configuration because you never know if spyware or adware is running in the registry or in the "background". In the option for Automation, it is recommended that you select Perform Smart System Scan. In this case, it will scan virtually everything and will work quicker yet thorough. For newer user's, I wouldn't recommend playing around with the tweak feature as it can change around file's and whatnot that could affect Ad-Aware's performance. Now that everything is tweaked and configgered let's get onto our first scan!
Scanning for Adware/Spyware
Okay to scan for Adware and Spyware using Ad-aware, you simply click Scan Now from the status screen. This take's you to the preparation screen where you can edit the setting's for the scan. It is typically recommended that you only click Perform Smart system-scan unless you want to customize the option's of the scan or scan a particular folder/file. Also check Activate In-Depth Scan as it is also recommended. From there click Next and wahla! Your first scan. However, let's take an indepth look at the scanning process, shall we? During the scanning process, you can see in the top right corner the number of Object's Scanned. You can also see the current process Ad-aware is performing. Below it is a chart that will show/tell you how many running processes, how many object's have been recognized and how many have been ignored. To the right of that, you'll see how many processes, registry key's/values, and file's/folder's have been identified. At any time during the scan (you shouldn't do this, but whatever) you can choose to abort by clicking abort. The scanning process can take as little as a few minutes to an hour or two depending on how many file's, etc you have on your system.
Once the scan has finished you might see a blinking red spider (hehe) on your screen and it will show you how many processes and file's were detected. You can see your logfile by clicking Show Logfile or just go straight to the result's by clicking Next.
Scan Result's
Ahh let's see what kinda icky spyware/adware we have on our system today. Now after clicking Next you will see a list of some stuff you might not know or understand. The first few will be Registry data (if any) you can tell by the Registry data icon. Now, typically when you see that the Vendor is Window's, you're pretty safe (yeah, haha) unless they did some weird trick on ya or something. Now when I ran a scan, nothing popped up except the usual: Two Registry file's for my Window's Media Player and some cookies. Nothing harmless, and whenever you see under Vendor it says Tracking Cookie, then you're safe. If anything look's suspicious however, right click it and click item detail's. If it still is suspicious, quarantine it. When you no longer are worrying about spyware/adware being on your system and all is well, click Next. If you choose not to delete anything, you'll get a popup saying No object's selected for removal, continue? Just click okay unless you wanna check back the result's to go over your finding's again.
Conclusion and Support Link's
In conclusion, Ad-aware is a home user (as well as a network admin's) best friend. It can help you ALOT in your war against spyware/adware. Then again, getting rid of IE does as well but you get my point. Anyway's, if you have any other question's/comment's/concern's, here are some useful link's I've scrapped up to help you on your Ad-aware journey (haha!).
