A serial entrepreneur who has exited three businesses and launched a fourth advises that founders plan for how to get out of a venture even before they get in. A corollary is that the end game might not turn out as planned, the author writes, although the strategy keeps a founder focused.
Exit strategies should be designed as a part of the overall plan for growth. The exit strategy plays a key role in determining the strategic direction for the company.

Food And Identity In An African Village
Allyson Gardner
When I think back on the two years I spent in Guinea, West Africa, and what aspects of my experience there had impacted me the most, I remember the difficult yet peaceful routine of village life, the lush Guinean landscape, my eager high school students, the colorful markets and traditional clothing…but mostly I remember the changes that oc-curred as I struggled to establish an identity for myself in a small African village.
When I first arrived in 1996, everyone stared at me, and I stared back. I walked down the dusty paths and kids called out, "White woman!" By the end of my stay, they called me "Miss" or "Allyson" or sometimes "Sister." At school, during my first days of teaching, my students laughed and gawked at me. Two years later, they stood when I entered the classroom, and I felt I had earned their respect. Despite this change, or cultural adaptation, I would remain throughout my two years the white woman, the foreigner, the American, and I struggled to balance trying to maintain my own cultural identity while at the same time moving around in an African one where my roles were at best ambiguous.
The ambiguity of my situation—white, American, female, teacher—began to manifest itself most sharply in relation to eating patterns. At ceremonies, such as weddings and funerals, food was usually a main component, and villagers never knew how to treat me. Often I would show up alone, looking out of place with my Western-style dress and hiking boots next to their colorful boubous, head ties, and leather sandals. While most guests would squat over communal bowls of rice, sauce, and meat, and eat with their right hands, I was often given my own plate with a spoon and directed to a table to eat alone. I would sit there miserably, spooning rice and wondering why I felt so out of place. More often than not, the most important village elder would call me over to share a bowl of food with him. Still, I would be given a spoon and the best pieces of meat.
Closer to the end of my stay, at ceremonies I began to steal away to the back of the compound, where the women were busy preparing food and eating together. Each time my presence was protested, and I was directed back to the central eating place, dominated by men. With most villagers, I was never allowed that kind of intimacy, and although it frustrated me, I came to realize that what seemed like rejection was actually a sign of respect. By pushing me over to the men's side of the courtyard, they were, in fact, showing me respect. This idea was rather disconcerting to me—what had I done to earn these village women's respect? I was a teacher to their children and a stranger to their village, yes, but weren't they the ones who deserved respect for their work so often overlooked?
The nature of food preparation in Africa, mostly women's work, involves processes that the Western world can no longer imagine: cul-tivating small patches of vegetables and grains by hand, pounding grains with a pestle as big as one's thighs, fetching wood and chopping it down for cooking, balancing large buckets of water on one's head and carrying it from water source to home, bending over the cooking pot in a tiny hut with soot-stained walls. I couldn't pound rice or cook a chicken, and every time I tried to carry water on my head, I ended up drenched and mocked. No wonder I felt uncomfortable spooning from my plate of rice, wondering if the women harbored any resentment that, despite being female, I was somehow exempt from this grueling preparation! At worst, I remained self-conscious during these large village gatherings; at best, my situation forced me to reflect and examine my position in the village, as well as the position of other women.
I developed the kind of intimacy and acceptance that I was looking for slowly over time and on a much smaller scale. I became an adopted member of the Dansoko clan, an extended family in the village. My relationship with them strangely became more intimate as my eating patterns among their family members changed. I remember quite vividly my first meal at their home very shortly after my arrival in 1996. Sory Dansoko, a prominent village elder and president of the Parent-Teacher Association, had invited me over for a meal. I accepted gladly as I recalled the meals I had shared with my host family during our Peace Corps training. During those meals, 8 or 10 of us gathered around a large communal bowl where we ate and took leave once we were full.
When I arrived at his home, Sory presented me with a plate of cooked liver drenched with oil and some bread. My stomach wrenched as I realized that I would not be sharing it with anyone, that, in fact, they had prepared it especially for me. I was relieved when another teacher passing by on his way to school responded to Sory's call to share the meat. Though disappointed that I did not get to share in a family meal that day, I discovered later that liver is considered the rich-est and tastiest cut of meat, and that by preparing it for me, Sory and his family were showing me respect and a welcome into their home.
When I left, Sory accompanied me to the entrance of the village and said, "This is your home. I will look out for you. Please come and eat with us, we will be your family." Touched by his kindness and hospitality, I thanked him and wondered what his motives might be for wanting to adopt me into his family. Over the course of two years, I would grow to realize how my relationship with Sory and his family helped me establish an identity in the village. I would show him and his family respect by choosing to associate with them. And, at the same time, he protected and fed me and allowed me to share and understand aspects of African culture that would never have been available to me were it not for his family's friendship and acceptance. Sory would even be-come my mentor when deciding on projects for work, and I chose him as my main counterpart for a public library project. A sense of mutual trust formed between us that lasted until the day I left the village and completed my Volunteer service.
I returned to the Dansoko compound often in the months following that first formal dinner of liver and bread. In the beginning, I always found a covered plate of food waiting for me at the table. If I arrived at mealtime, the rest of the family would eat on the floor together, Sory and his sons around one bowl, the women and girls around another bowl. Occasionally, cousins or other guests joined in when invited, and at any given time, there were between 10 and 15 people eating in the living room. I hated eating at the table—I resented being made to sit alone, isolated from the rest of the family. I tried to explain to Sory that eating alone caused me to eat less, so to compensate, he would spoon one bite off my plate and encourage me to finish the rest.
One evening, I took my plate and emptied it into the communal bowl and prepared to squat. Everyone in the room stopped eating and began to protest. Someone gave me a stool so I could sit properly. The boys crowded closer together to make room for me, and Sory just shook his head. I looked at him adamantly, and he realized I was insistent on sharing the meal with them. After that day, it was no longer questioned when I sat down to eat with Sory and his sons. I began to eat there more comfortably now that I had stopped being treated like a guest and foreigner. In time, I would abandon my spoon, despite more protests, and learn how to form balls of rice and sauce with my hand. Occasionally, sauce would drip down my hand and wrist; other times the hot rice would burn my fingers, and Sory would click his tongue and send one of his sons for a spoon. However, the satisfaction I felt, along with the sense of acceptance by his family, cancelled out any embarrassment I might have experienced over dropping rice or dripping sauce.
In time, however, I realized that eating with Sory, his brothers and sons, and occasionally visiting male teachers, was still a source of unresolved conflict within me. After all, I was a woman. Why wasn't I eating with the women? The first few times I tried to eat with the Dansoko women and their daughters, they refused and pushed me back toward Sory's heaping bowl of rice, sauce, and meat, just as the village women did at the ceremonies I attended.
During Ramadan, the Muslim period of fasting from sunrise to sunset, villagers broke the fast at the eldest woman's and man's house. The Dansoko women all shared their evening meal at Sory's mother's house, and surprisingly, I was allowed to attend. None of the women questioned my presence, and every night on my way out, Sory's mother would thank me for coming. It wasn't until Sory left for the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca during the spring of my second year that I was finally allowed to eat on a daily basis with his daughters and two wives, Ciré and Ramata, who became the heads of household during his ab-sence. When he returned six weeks later, he said to me, "My wives told me you were here every day and ate with them, and I am so happy. Thank you."
For my remaining months in the village, I roamed freely among the Dansoko extended family and ate wherever I pleased, most often with women. At the Dansoko family compound, I found solace and peace; I was accepted unconditionally, never asked for anything except to eat with them, my presence never questioned. I participated in Muslim ceremonies—baptisms and weddings, sacrifices and prayers—and gradually learned all the names and relationships of the different family members. My status as an American, a white, and a teacher began to wear off as I integrated more into the family, as my local language improved, and as I adopted more colorful and traditional clothing. But for me it was the transition from eating all alone with utensils at a table, sterile and unfamiliar, to squatting down with Ciré and Ramata and other village women in the outside kitchen, in the front yard, on the porch, natural and warm, that marked my acceptance and earned me a place in their large family.
Almost two years after my first encounter with Sory Dansoko and his family, I shared with them the traditional Muslim feast of Tabaski, where a sheep is sacrificed. After the slaughter outside the eldest brother's hut, Sory took the liver and grilled it, then offered the first morsel of it to me to taste. I grinned and accepted it, recalling the first time he presented the plate of liver to me so formally two years earlier. The rest of the family also smiled with approval. If occasionally I was still shown the respect and hospitality due to guests and foreigners, I had, at the same time, earned a place in the Dansoko family that allowed me to live comfortably with myself and others. A place that allowed me to forge my own identity—a combination of American and African values, amidst cultural paradoxes and ambiguities.

You're gonna have to wait til the baby comes and get blood work. That's just the way it is. Be more careful and then you'll know next time.posted 04/25/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Kind of depends on your cycles. If they're every 28 days, then it would have been around jan 13. But if your cycles are very 35 days, then makes th 20th more likely. My advice is to get a first trimester ultrasound as they're the most accurate in dating a pregnancy. Then once you have a confirmed due date (either fits with your period or you're redated because the size of your baby doesn't fit with your period dates) count back 38 weeks to get your approximate conception date. Since sperm live for a few days, you can conceive by having sex 0-4 days before ovulation. Once the sperm fertilizes the egg, you're considered pregnant. But it takes the fertilized embryo about 9 days to implant in the wall of the uterus. That's why a home pregnancy test can't detect that you're pregnant until at least 10-14 days after conception. Because it takes time to implant and start releasing the pregnancy hormone hCg into your bloodstream. Good luck.posted 02/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
it usually takes two weeks (14 days) for sperm to fertilize an egg. that time includes the time it takes for the egg to travel down the Fallopian tubes and implant in the uterine wall. if the two separate sexual partners were within 14 days of each other, it might be harder for you to tell who the father is without a paternity test.posted 02/28/2012 by luvinmom-a-2

Plants in the Mojave Desert - Shrubs
Chaparral YuccaYucca whipplei Torr.
Alternate Names
Hesperoyucca whipplei (Torr.) Baker; our lordÆs candle, WhippleÆs yucca
Ethnobotanic: The apical meristem, young flower stalks, flowers, and tender immature pods were eaten by many tribes in southern California including the Tubatulabal, Cahuilla, Luiseno, Diegueno, Kawaiisu, and Western Shoshone and are still gathered today.
According to the Kawaiisu, traditionally in the early spring, the apical meristem or "heart" was removed with the aid of an oak or a juniper shaft. It was then roasted in a pit for a lengthy period. While green and tender the flower stalk that grows out of the apical meristem was cut or broken off by hand. These stalks were cut into sections and roasted in fire or in ashes and coals. It is reputed to have a sweet taste. The flowers are edible and can be boiled and eaten. The Diegueno tribe harvested the flowers before they opened and boiled them twice to remove the bitterness before eating.
Chaparral yucca was also an important fiber plant. The Diegueno and Cahuilla used the fibers for sandals while the Chumash and the Gabrielino used it for fishing line. Whole or split yucca leaves were also utilized for rough tying of bundles of firewood, house frames, and for basketry. To retrieve and prepare the fibers, the leaves were immersed in water until the epidermal sheath and the connecting round tissue rotted away. The leaves may also have been pounded with a wooden mallet to facilitate the process. The fibers are then buried in mud to whiten them, washed and combed.
Wildlife: The seeds and fruits are eaten by the antelope ground squirrel and hummingbirds consume the nectar.
General: Agave Family (Agavaceae). This shrub is simple and acaulescent with no evident trunk. The leaves are slender, stiff and gray-green. They are 3-8 dm long and radiate from a central base and have needle-like tips. The plant has a single flower stalk, which is covered with fragrant, creamy white flowers. Night-flying moths pollinate the flowers. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous black seeds. After fruiting the plant dies. Some plants reproduce vegetatively through offsets.
This plant is found in chaparral, coastal sage scrub, creosote bush scrub and the desert at elevations below 2500 m. It grows in southern California, northwestern Arizona, and Baja, California.
Seeds: Plant the seeds in the fall in deep, one-gallon pots in well-drained soil. Lay the seeds on top of the soil and sprinkle soil over the seeds until they are covered. Then cover the soil with one quarter-inch of gravel. Keep the pots damp through the first year. The plants need sharp drainage and space. Plant the young seedling the following fall outside. This yucca needs full sun, excellent drainage, and is intolerant of frequent summer water. It can endure cold temperatures to about 10 degrees F.
Cuttings: Cut off yucca leaves at the point of origin in the spring. Reduce the length of the leaves to six inches, exposing bare stem tissue. Stick the cuttings in a pot with well-drained soil and water the soil, keeping it slightly moist. Place the pot in partial shade. Plant the seedling outdoors in full sun, in well-drained soil in the fall. Continue to water the plant for three years until it gets established.
Prune back dead or diseased leaves periodically in the autumn.

"What Is Thy Bidding,
My Master?": Star Wars
and the Hegelian Struggle
for Recognition
Star Wars, as the name suggests, is about struggle and conflict, hope and renewal, war and death. On the one side, there are the Rebels, whose struggle for freedom from Imperial domination and fear motivate their supporters and give life to the movement. On the other side, there is the Emperor and his minions who, driven by what philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) refers to as the "will to power," willingly sacrifice entire planets and their populations in a ruthless attempt to achieve their goals. Art really does imitate life or, at the very least, it illuminates an important feature of it—namely, the exercise of a certain kind of power.
It isn',t difficult to explain how this kind of power arises; fear is the mechanism that accounts for its existence and strength. It is fear of losing his sister that moves Luke to do the Emperor's bidding and strike down his father. It is fear that motivates the Senate to form the clone army that ultimately brings about its own demise. And, it's the fear of losing his mother that sends the young Anakin Skywalker down the path to the Dark Side and prompts the ancient Jedi Master, Yoda, to voice the mantra of his religion: "Tear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering."
Fear illuminates the path to slavery and suffering, the path that leads to the Dark Side. At the same time, though, it reveals a certain mode of exercising power—the way of the Sith Master. The Master rises to his station and maintains his dominance over his apprentices or slaves by evoking and playing upon their

FACTSOn March 27, 2007, Beecham and Freda Lovelace were involved in a two-vehicle accident in DeSoto County, Mississippi. After being extricated from her vehicle, Lovelace was air lifted to a regional medical center in Memphis, Tennessee, where she eventually died from her injuries. Her death certificate states the cause of death was "complications of blunt force injuries to [the] head and chest." After a trial by jury, Beecham was found guilty of DUI and causing the death of Lovelace.
At trial, eight witnesses testified for the State during its case-in-chief. Once the State rested its case, Beecham moved for a directed verdict, which was denied. Beecham then rested his case without producing any evidence, but as part of his defense, he had the jury visit the scene of the accident. After hearing all of the evidence at trial, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty of DUI causing a death.
At the sentencing hearing, Beecham was adjudicated as a habitual offender within the meaning and purview of section 99-19-81. Beecham was then sentenced to twenty-five years in the custody of the MDOC.

CBC Challenge Inspiration Station
This weeks Created By Courtney Challenge is an inspiration challenge. You have to make a card based on the CD cover of the album you listen to while your crafting. Most of the time I'm listening to their new album which is pretty good. I really loved the layout on the cover and thought this would be a fun card.
WRONG!!! This was a super tough layout!! The first attempt I made I also tried to to follow the colors of the CD and that was a big mistake. I don't like these colors together and it was really bad. I was going to show you attempt one and then chickened out. Trust me it was bad. I also tried using silohette stamps to mimic their black shirts. Another mistake.
Here is attempt two!
I'm still not totally in love with it but it's miles better than the first one. I asked my hubby what he thought of card one, his response, "Well, it's not a bad card.....". When I showed him this one he was relieved because he said the last card was really bad!! See I told you :)
I stamped my favorite Stampendous flowers on Kraft cardstock twice side by side. I colored them with my copics then cut them in strips. I staggered the strips to resemble the way the hunky new kids are on the cover.
I don't think I'll try this layout again but if anyone else gives it a whirl let me know, I'm dying to see!!! Make sure you go check out the other chicks creations!!

We have to love the honesty of our hubby's, hey? My man didn't like mine either, so I told him to pick me a new cd case and I would make a new one today...but alas it is on my blog! Your card is cool! I like the panels...

What a cool technique! Love the up and down of the panels, and the sweet gingham ribbon on the side. I'm already thinking of how I can use this see-saw panel effect. :-)

"Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving." -Paul David Trip, What Did You Expect?
Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world. Yet, in pastor Paul Tripp's professional experience, the majority of couples enter marriage with unrealistic expectations, leaving them unprepared for the day-to-day realities of married life.
What Did You Expect?: Redeeming the Realities of Marriage introduces a biblical and practical approach to those realities that is rooted in God's faithfulness and Scripture's teaching on sin and grace. "Spouses need to be reconciled to each other and to God on a daily basis," Tripp declares. "Since we're always sinners married to sinners, reconciliation isn't just the right response in moments of failure. It must be the lifestyle of any healthy marriage."
What Did You Expect? presents six practical commitments that give shape and momentum to such a lifestyle. These commitments, which include honestly facing sin, weakness, and failure; willingness to change; and embodying Christ's love, will equip couples to develop a thriving, grace-based marriage in all circumstances and seasons of their relationship.

This is retirement?
The Andover Townsmen, Andover, Massachuesetts
Married 39 years, parents of two grown boys and finally retired — that might sound to many like the perfect time to kick back, take up golf or go on a long vacation.
Instead, local 60-somethings Mary and Gerald "Gerry" Murphy spent two years in the Peace Corps stationed in Morocco. Located on the northwestern tip of Africa, Morocco has Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, and both desert and mountains inland.
For two years, the Murphys put their own spin on defining retirement. Apparently, a growing number of retirees are doing just that by enrolling in national service programs - most notably the Peace Corps, according to its website. The programs may have been designed primarily for young people originally, but now some of those '60s-era youth are looking for another chance to give back or to have an adventure.
"The Peace Corps was always something I wanted to do. I wanted to join at 20, I even filled out the paperwork," Mary Murphy said, "but I was too timid."
When their son, Joshua Patrick Murphy, served in the Peace Corps after his college graduation, Mary found herself rethinking about what she had put off some 40 years earlier. Gerry thought it was a good idea to join the Peace Corps, too. They joined on March 1, 2010 and were stationed in Morocco from March 3, 2010 to May 1, 2012.

When Does Rookie Blue Season 5 Premiere?
It's been a long nine months since we last checked in with the 15 Division gang, but Rookie Blue is back on American screens — with Season 5 premiering on ABC on Thursday, June 19, at 9 p.m. ET.
And maybe ABC execs know that we've been in withdrawal because they're giving us a helluva fix with not one but two hours that night.
According to Global's synopsis for the premiere, Season 5 is going to get off to an emotional start.
With Sam (Ben Bass) headed into the O.R. and Chloe in critical care, Andy (Missy Peregrym) and Dov (Gregory Smith) try to take a break from the night's traumatic events and head to an all-night diner to pull themselves together. But their desire to regroup and "not be cops tonight" is thwarted when two violent and agitated 20-somethings hold up the diner. Meanwhile, the other exhausted officers of 15 Division struggle to contain the collateral damage from the evening's chaos — under the watchful eye of tough new Inspector John Jarvis (Oliver Becker). Knowing he's needed at the station, Nick (Peter Mooney) goes rogue to track down Sam Swarek's next of kin. And in the end, Andy must face both the men she cares about, and share her heart-wrenching decision.
Rookie Blue returns to ABC on Thursday, June 19, at 9 p.m. ET.

A new, grassroots effort by Alex Benzer, Tara Tiger Brown and Sean Bonner, Represent.LA, is looking to map out the Los Angeles startup community, by plotting out the list of startups, incubators, accelerators, and others in the community. Brown says that the site is a way to "promote the LA tech scene and strengthen the community bonds that span across a wide distance and many freeways." The map is similar to a map of the Los Angeles technology ecosystem provided by this publication, although Represent.LA is looking to engage the community in developing its own list of startup companies.

Dear All,
We have more than 6 domains in our single Zimbra server. Now we are planning to separate the servers by two. So we need to migrate few domain users mailboxes from existing zimbra server to new zimbra server.
Initially we have migrated from Meark to Zimbra using imapsync program.But it was taking more time.
Is there any tool or method available for migrating from zimbra to zimbra apart from imapsync ?

If you live in the city of Utica, parking in your neighborhood may soon become a lot more difficult. It's already a struggle to find parking on some of the crowded and narrow streets in Utica. But new legislation could be eliminating even more spots.
New legislation passed by the Common Council in July is cutting down on the number of parking spots at a busy intersection in east Utica.
The intersection of Mohawk and Mary Streets has new "no parking" signs 30 feet further away from the intersection. And police say it's all due to safety concerns.
"There are a couple buildings that are up really close to the intersection and what it was doing was blocking the point of views from motor vehicles from different angles," says Chief Mark Williams, Utica Police Department.
But not everyone is convinced. Some that live near the intersection say the parking in the intersection will not be affective.
"As far as safety, I don't know, I've seen one accident here and i thought it was just carelessness on the driver's part," says David Chapple, of Utica.
Chapple lives on Mary Street. He says there are better solutions.
"If they had more parking like in these empty lots or empty houses it might be where people can park or something," he says.
And some businesses agree. Meldino's Bar and Grill only has five designated spots next to their building.
"Before we used to park on both sides and then they only gave us the odd and even days. The customers don't have nowhere to park. They complain some people don't have nowhere to park and they have to walk all the way over here," says Meldina Omic, Meldino's Bar and Grill.
People that live and work near the intersection also say they've had to pay hundreds of dollars in parking ticket fines because there are not enough parking options.
"No Parking' signs are the latest additions on Mohawk and Mary Streets intersection. But if a new initiative passes for Smith Place, they could be popping up there as well.

An introduction to our component architecture - what we started with
- It saves me some time (this is the first week where I'm really struggling to get sufficient time to write a whole post)
- It's given me the kick up the back side required to move this research (the component architecture) forward
What I'm sharing below is the first draft of a description/outline of the component architecture we've developed. It's a work/piece of research in progress, so bear in mind that:
- It is not complete
- It is not contemporary (the version we're now using makes changes)
- I will post more up to date information about this archictecture in the coming weeks and months
So, without further adue...
"Dead West" Component Architecture Version 0.1
The Dead West (36peas - it's deliberately generic) component architecture:
- Composes game objects from behaviours and data - not from an object hierarchy
- Uses an object hierarchy only for Game World > Game Object > Behaviour
- Broadcasts (and narrowcasts) messages throughout the game world
- Encourages messaging over explicit references (game objects should not normally keep references to one-another in the long-term) - even where references are kept, they should only be kept to narrowcast messages
- Templates allow for behaviours to be grouped into logical, abstract concepts - e.g. there is a template for a Hero
- Templates can implement other templates - e.g. the Farmer template can implement the Hero template
DWGameWorld (GW)Manages the game by virtue of owning the set of gameObjects.
- localStore contains world-level data.
- doUpdate: is the entry point for delta-based update methods (passed from here to objects and ultimately behaviours)
- handleMessage: broadcasts messages to the entire game world
- attaches to the rendered world by virtue of initWithRenderLayer:
- addGameObjectWithTemplate creates new game objects in the world based on the provided template
DWGameObject (GO)Represents a single object in the game - a hero, enemy or non-rendered item such as a trigger, spawn point etc. The DWGameObject object itself provides little more than a container for its behaviours and a store for shared data.
- localStore (NSMutableDictionary) contains all data for that object
- addBehaviour: withData: add the specified behaviour to the object, if not already in the object's behaviour list. Will always write the data passed, including overwrites of existing data.
- loadData: loads (and overwrites) data passed - pass a single-key dictionary to load just one key/value pair
- doUpdate: calls doUpdate on all behaviours
- handleMessage: passes message to all behaviours - can be used as messaging entry point for narrowcast messages
DWBehaviourBase class for behaviours.
- localStore (NSMutableDictionary) contains all data for this instance of this behaviour - shared data should only be stored in the host DWGameObject
- handleMessage: does nothing in base class definition - see DWBTest.m for sample implementation
- doUpdate: does nothing in base class abstract definition - see DWBTest.m for sample implementation
DWMessageData object for passing messages through the game world.
- messageType type of message (as defined in DWModelConstants.h)
- payload the message detail/payload
- game world: [gw handleMessage:m];
- to specific GO: [go handleMessage:m];
- from behaviour, to host GO: [myGo handleMessage:m];
ConstantsDWModelConstants.h defines:
- model load/save key constants
- DWMessageType enum
- (doesn't, but implied that it will) behaviour names (keys - same as object names)
Additional notes:
- Does not accommodate UI external to the game world - messages in and queries out should facilitate this
- A template can implement other templates that specify the same behaviour. Loading order of implemented templates is not guaranteed, but behaviours specified directly by the host template will be loaded last, meaning data specified there will overwrite that written by any implemented templates.
- GO data defined in template is written last (it will overwrite any class-level, implemented-template-behaviour-level and behaviour-level data)
- Behaviour implementation classes can (do and should) write their own data defaults in initWithGameObject - see DWBTest.m for an example.
Outstanding issues/undecided:
- Do behaviours need a processing order - in which doUpdate would be passed to behaviours based on their priority/classification. If so - easiest method would likely be storing processing priority (+/- integer with 0 as default) on behaviour definition, then creating a sorted list of behaviours on GO creation - assuming GOs don't get behaviours added later

Summary:When successful New York artist Henry Hart returns to his small hometown tucked away in the hills of Montana, he has a couple of things to face: his grandfather might die before Henry has the guts to tell him he's gay; and his love for his best friend during high school is still unrequited. At the same time, Pike, the introverted Native-American owner of the town's general store, has something important to tell Henry, unless someone in this tight-knit community tells him first.

A daemon to handle Secure Boxes (cryptographic keys, X509 certificates and data objects), accessible through a PKCS#11 library, supporting non-certified (lite) Hardware or Software Security Modules.
Version 1.1.1 (Release Candidate 1)
LSM-PKCS11 is a package intended to support the implementation of Lite Security Modules, i.e. a kind of not certified Software or Hardware Security Modules (HSM, SSM). The targets of such implementations are PKIs (Public Keys Infrastructures) for intra-company and network applications, requiring a non-trivial security level but not so 'budgeted' to allow the acquisition of true (certified) HSMs, whose cost starts from as little as some thousands dollars.
The basic component of LSM-PKCS11 is a multi-threaded daemon that can be hosted on a little dedicated system, running Linux (or if you like it, Windows NT/2000XP as well), to support a set of cryptographic operations released by OpenSSL library on some well-protected files (Security Boxes) hosting cryptographic items like public and private keys, secret keys, data objects, certificates and so on.
The daemon services can be accessed via a TCP/IP connection with the support of a shared library (DLL in Windows environment) conforming to the PKCS#11 standard developed by RSA Laboratories, also known as Criptoki. PKCS#11 is part of the Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS).
Developing LSM-PKCS#11 I tried to adhere as much as possible to the PKCS#11 standard specifications, so to allow a full integration with applications using PKCS#11 interface to access security tokens for digital signature, verification, and other cryptographic facilities.
The first version of the package supports only the minimum of cryptographic mechanisms:
But after full initial testing, the package will be easily extended to support more and more cryptographic mechanisms.
The initial deployment and following testing didnt cost too much (just a month of evenings and holidays, thanks to the patience of my wife Laura, and some boring winter week-ends). At last I came to the first release candidate version. Obviously any help is welcome, in the aim to consolidate the package. Remaining activities are:
You're welcome!

Ways to Prevent Identity Theft
Protect your identity in the wake of disaster
While you can't control when disaster will strike, you can prepare for its effects.
In addition to looking out for your family's safety, you should take steps to protect the identity of your loved ones.
Key steps to prevent identity fraud after a disaster
- Have your vital documents safe and ready to go. Gather up your personal and financial information and store this paperwork in one place in a waterproof bag. Keep the bag in a fireproof safe, if possible.
- Have back-up copies of all the contents of your wallet as well as originals of important papers.
- Store back-up copies of your computer, laptop and PDA documents – as well as your digital photos – in a safety deposit box located away from your home.
- Have a family communications plan so you can communicate with one another should you be in different locations. See the FEMA site for a sample plan and contact card.
- If you must evacuate, just grab the waterproof bag and go. Even better, if your fireproof safe is portable, take the whole thing.
- No matter where you're staying after a disaster, be sure to protect important information and documents. They are the key to your identity; you may need this information to prove who you are.
- Use a shredder to eliminate personal information that might be thrown in the garbage.
- Obtain your free annual credit report from each of the credit bureaus, and review them frequently.
Another way to help protect your identity
The American Family Identity Theft Program includes our Identity Fraud Expense Coverage, which covers costs associated with repairing your identity, including attorney fees, loan application fees and lost wages.

Gerd Bucerius was a German lawyer who took great personal risks to represent Jewish clients during the Nazi Regime in Germany.
Rafael Seligmann speaks about the revitalization of Jewish life in Germany as reflected in the international paper he publishes, "Jewish Voice from Germany."
To celebrate the launch of LBI's digital archive, DigiBaeck, speakers Brewster Kahle (Internet Archive) and Nicholas Felton (Facebook, Daytum.com) and a panel moderated by New York Times Reporter Claudia Dreifus address the implications and possibilities of putting 3.5 million pages of primary source-material related to German-Jewish history online.
In his new collection of essays, The Fan Who Knew Too Much (June 2012, Knopf), author Anthony Heilbut ranges across American culture with observations on the career of Aretha Franklin, gays in gospel music, the early history of soap operas, and the world of German exiles from Arendt to Zweig.
Shulamit Volkov will discuss her new book, Walther Rathenau: The Life of Weimar's Fallen Statesman about the rise and tragic end of Weimar Germany's Jewish Foreign Minister.
How reliable are autobiographical works and biographical studies for historical work? Professor Mark Gelber (Ben-Gurion University) will discuss Stefan Zweig's brilliant but problematic depictions of Herzl (and Zionism) and Freud (psychoanalysis, anti-Semitism, and Jewish survival) in his late autobiographical work written predominantly during the period of his American exile,"The World of Yesterday." (1942)
The final installment of the Society for the History of Czechoslovak Jews' lecture series entitled "Jewish Thought in Bohemian Lands and Slovakia from Late Renaissance to World War II."
Michael Brenner, of the University of Munich discussed research from his new book "Prophets of the Past." "Prophets" is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Brenner reveals that perhaps no other group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews.
Leo Baeck Institute and The Asia Society present a lecture by Paul Mendes-Flohr about the fascinating relationship between German-Jewish intellectuals Albert Einstein and Martin Buber and the Bengal Poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Professor Jonathan Steinberg is the author of the highly acclaimed new book Bismarck: A Life. Steinberg describes the political genius of the man who dominated his era. Bismarck's belief in Prussia's cohesion and authority, and in a nationalism that could be put to good use, ultimately led to Germany's tragic 20th century.

I'm looking at a used TT bike on ebay that is 9 years old. I know/have heard that Aluminum has a fatigue life and I'm wondering if that may be an issue here. It looks like this bike was ridden, not stored in a garage for a decade, but it is a TT bike and thus maybe didn't get too much use.
Price isn't so much of an issue. Even if it's free, I don't want to buy a frame that's going to crack/break in the first few seasons that I own it.

Standard line features are included with basic telephone service. For feature descriptions and instructions for use, see the individual feature in the list below.
Call Forwarding
Going to be away from your room for a while? Call Forwarding lets your phone ring at any other on-campus extension. To use, simply dial "216" after picking up your receiver. When you hear a stuttered tone, dial the 5-digit campus extension at which you want your calls to ring, then hang up. That's it! Warning: Don't forget to deactivate Call Forwarding when you return to your room. To deactivate, simply pick up your receiver and dial "217."
Call Transfer
Got a call that needs to be transferred somewhere else on campus? Use Call Transfer! Stay on the line with the person who called you, then briefly press the switch-hook to get a new dial tone. Dial the number to where you are transferring the call. While the line is ringing, you can either hang up, or announce the call when the third party answers.
Caller ID
You will need to have a telephone that provides Caller ID to use this feature.
To prevent your telephone number from appearing on a Caller ID display, simply dial "267" after picking up your receiver, then dial the number. There is no charge for this.
Three-way Calling
Talk to two people at the same time! How? Simply make your first call. Once you're connected, put the first call on hold by briefly pressing the switch-hook. When you hear a stuttered new dial tone, place your second call. When the second call connects, briefly press the switch-hook once again, and you have a three-way call! Three-way calling will work for long-distance calls too!
- Activate Student Telephone Service
- Disconnect Student Telephone Service

Sing Your Mission
Today I have a tip for you! As the majority of you are one of the following: a blogger, a student, a (somewhat unorthadox) business person, an entrepreneur or just plain busy. You probably have trouble getting your tasks done on time, I do or at least did until I started using this method!
Now, a lot of people concentrate by listening to music… some people think it is impossible. It is not. The reason that this works (and is the point of the post) is that you sing the songs (well I do, but you sing it in your head at least!) If you have a song then you have probably heard it before, and know roughly how long the song is.
So the plan is… set tasks for certain songs! Listening to music will help you to get things done, similar to timing yourself. Of course most tasks cannot be done in the time music is on for, so set up a playlist. It is sooo easy to do, and don't forget you can use headphones if there are lots of people around.
What do you think of listening to music, do you think it helps get those dreaded tasks done?
Also, which kind of music is best? Your favourite? Perhaps Classical? I have been listening to songs ranging from ABBA to Status Quo and seem to find the faster the beat the faster I type!
15 Comments
I listen to music 90% of the time I'm working (the other 10% is basically spent listening to podcasts)… Actually I'll rephrase, I'm listening to music 90% of the time that I'm awake and I can definitely agree that it helps me focus.
I find it surprising the number of people that actually find music distracting 😐
Scott I thinks that depends on their nature.
I definitely cannot listen to podcasts while working. That would be even worse than music for my low attention span.
I disagree. I find that some people, myself included, cannot concentrate whilst listening to music. I find any amount of music distracting. That said, small amounts of classical can help sometimes.
I always listen classic music while working. Its helps me lots in concentration at work.
Yes classical might be the best choice for me. The tempo would keep me working hard, without having lyrics distract me.
Josh, you sound a lot like me. You are probably one of those people who's mind has troubles separating lyrics from what you're reading. That is why classical music probably works for you, just because there are no lyrics.
I agree that music is a great way to stay motivated. It helps me lose myself in my work. Certain kinds of music is not as effective though. It also depends on what kind of work you are doing. If I have to do much reading, music is out of the question. If I am reading, the lyrics tend to blend with what I am reading. In the end I end up having to reread.
I agree that it depends on the task being done. If I am doing anything mindless like data entry, music is a must. For more complicated things, I often prefer to be less distracted. Listening to music does make things less dull and it becomes easier to plug away for hours.
In my view music is great way to stay motivated. Its depend on nature of music and what kind of work you doing and your taste of music.
Yeah music definitely helps, I find that our generation is better at listening to music while doing work =D
Till then,
Good post. I like your idea about sing your mission.
this is very inspiring article.thanks for sharing the great idea's.
Interesting idea of sing your mission. I like music. I'll try it.
How do you say "Everyone let's stand up and sing" in Spanish?

The Financial Times offers an overview of Professor Gary Becker's trailblazing contributions to economics: "In hindsight many of Becker's theories might seem obvious but at the time this sort of thinking was very controversial. He was the first academic to think economics could be applied to non-monetary activities."

Former senators to speak at dinner
Published: Friday, January 5, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 5, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.

The Secretary of State for Health and the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills asked the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to seek public views on emerging techniques designed to prevent mitochondrial disease.
Such techniques, called mitochondria replacement, may allow women with particular genetic diseases to avoid passing them on to their child. These techniques are only permitted in research at present.
We asked for the public's views about the possible use of these techniques in treatment, through an open and independent consultation.
The consultation was held between Monday 17 September 2012 and Friday 7 December 2012.
Please note that this consultation has now closed.
Scientific review
Prior to the consultation process, we, the HFEA, set up an expert Panel and consulted world-leading experts in the field. Their role was to review the science, and to determine if it was safe to begin treating patients with new techniques.
The Panel concluded there was no evidence to suggest the techniques are unsafe. As the science is so new, the Panel recommended undertaking further research in human eggs and embryos. This work is currently being undertaken at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Mitochondrial Research at Newcastle University.
Public dialogue events
During Summer 2012, we held a series of public dialogue events to help us learn what people think about the science and their opinions on the moral and ethical issues that are raised by the new treatments.
Participants were chosen through an independent recruitment organisation to fairly reflect local community. Ninety people participated in events in Newcastle, Cardiff and London.
Public survey
During Summer 2012, we ran an anonymous randomised survey of 1,000 people to understand how much people knew about mitochondrial disease, the new treatments and their position on some of the moral and ethical issues. The results of this survey will be fed back to the Government.
Online public consultation
In September 2012, we launched a consultation on the issues surrounding emerging techniques designed to prevent mitochondrial disease.
Public consultation events
In November 2012, we held two discussion events that were open to the public. These offered a chance for people to discuss mitochondria replacement and share their views on issues.
We plan to publish our findings in 2013. You can register to receive updates about the engagement programme by signing up for updates.
Who was involved?
We, the HFEA, worked with expert partners to ensure that the dialogue was thorough, well-communicated and balanced.
Partners included:
Sciencewise Expert Resource Centre – the UK's national centre for public dialogue in policy making involving science and technology issues
Office for Public Management (OPM) – specialist researchers in public engagement and policy making
Forster – a communications agency that specialises in public engagement
Maintaining a balanced perspective
An Independent Oversight Group was set up to make sure the consultation was balanced and accessible. The Group was made up of a diverse range of experts who each brought a different perspective to the project and work to the Oversight Group Terms of Reference.

When a story is retold as often as Romeo & Juliet, how it's told is of utmost importance. And nobody tells a story quite like Milwaukee Ballet. This interpretation of the doomed lovers caught between feuding families forgoes prose for poses and couplets for choreography.
Through movement and with the live performance of Prokofiev's score, the dancers convey everything from infatuation to epic heartbreak. To witness them is to feel everything right along with them.
Tickets are on sale now at milwaukeeballet.org or call the Milwaukee Ballet Box Office at (414) 902-2103.

VKontakte is launching its own media platform Live Plus, which will cover the IT sector. Although the site will be launched within VKontakte itself, it is likely to receive representation on other social networks.
At the time the service was launched the only contributing author was Evgeny Krasnikov, a former RBC Daily journalist. The project will be coordinated by VK head of public relations George Lobushkin.
Live Plus' material will be written using Wiki markup, which is also used by other social network media communities such as Lenta4 and Obrazovach. At the time of writing there is one article posted on Live Plus on government e-commerce regulation.

lorenzo was up by 7-8 points on Vale when he broke his leg. it was also the 4th (?) race of the year.
in 06, vale was 50+ points behind hayden at the halfway point and clawed back to +8 over hayden by Valencia.
no way he was worried about 8 points in the first quarter of teh season.
the REALITY is that Barbera, like usual, was following vale so vale slowed to let barbera pass, the tire cooled, he yanked the throttle and snap goes the twig.
but don't let FACTS get in the way of your fantasy.
Forza Vale
