Ann Reinking Teaches Dance to Teens with Marfan's Syndrome
(NEW YORK) -- Ann Reinking, famous star of stage and screen, is focusing on a cause that's close to her heart: the fight against the negative body image associated with Marfan's Syndrome.
Marfan's is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissues. It can affect the bones, eyes and heart; people with Marfan's usually have limbs that are disproportionately long. Long perhaps, but appealing to a choreographer like Reinking.
Dance is "one of the greatest loves on my life," Ann Reinking told ABC News. "I just fell in love, that's all I wanted to do." So she set out to highlight the beauty of being different through choreographed dance, choosing to focus on accentuating the long lines and silhouettes of people struggling with Marfans.
Reinking was a Broadway darling, blending a spunky style of power and grace that made her a star on both the stage and on the movie screen, starring in "All That Jazz" in 1979 and in "Annie" in 1982.
She is also a gifted choreographer, winning a Tony for the revival of the play "Chicago" in 1996. Through all the bright lights and big stages, she feels most accomplished when she's teaching kids how to learn and love the art of dance.
Reinking produced a documentary called "In My Hands," about working with children of Marfan's Syndrome. In the film, she teaches dance to teenagers with Marfan's Sydrome, whom she calls "exquisite."
It is a cause that is close to her heart -- her son Chris was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder 15 years ago. It is a painful disease, and those with Marfans can undergo countless surgeries to correct their spines and vision; they also must remain constantly vigilant that their hearts don't grow too large.
"I learned my entire life to deal with it," Chris Reinking, now 21, told ABC News. "I mean like, a giraffe is not going to call himself weird because he has four legs and a long neck. That's just how he evolved and lived his entire life."
Even for someone who has lived with Marfans as successfully as Chris, there are lingering questions and insecurities that creep back.
"When you're a teenager, you don't want to look different," Ann Reinking told ABC News. "So being very tall can set you apart, not being able to see very well can set you apart … and you just want to fit in. We all do.
"These kids [have] a look that is unique and really quite beautiful ... One of the good things about accomplishing something is that it helps your self-image of yourself," said Reinking. "The human spirit is the greatest thing on earth. To be a part of that, whether it is to have people forget their problems … we're all of a sudden tangible, right there, you can truly touch it, you can truly see it's there. That's the best thing for me."

AviancaTaca took delivery of its ninth A330-200 on September 17 at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France. The aircraft is powered by Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines.
The highly efficient, modern A330-200 widebody aircraft is configured to seat 252 passengers - 30 in business class and 222 in economy. The A330-200 has the versatility to cover all ranges from short-haul to true long haul, ideal for point-to-point operations. Additional economic benefits include operational commonality with the A330-200 Freighter, of which the airline has ordered four, exceptional operational reliability and superb fuel efficiency. Across all its aircraft families Airbus' unique approach ensures that aircraft share the highest commonality in airframes, on-board systems, cockpits and handling characteristics. This significantly reduces operating costs for airlines.
"The integration of this 100th Airbus aircraft to the AviancaTaca fleet is a reflection of both our and Airbus' commitment to strengthening the aviation industry in Latin America," said Fabio Villegas, CEO of AviancaTaca. "With this new aircraft, we are not only increasing our passenger offering, but we are also furthering AviancaTaca's expansion program and improving customer service, which are our top priorities."
"AviancaTaca's has one of the youngest fleets in Latin America, averaging five years," said Rafael Alonso, Executive Vice President of Airbus in Latin America & Caribbean. "We couldn't be prouder that AviancaTaca has based their fleet modernization and expansion programs on Airbus and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones with AviancaTaca."
The A330-200 offers a higher takeoff weight (TOW) capability of 238 metric tonnes achieved with no OEW increase. This translates into around 330nm more range, giving the aircraft 7,250nm endurance, or an extra 3.4 tonnes of payload. With more than 1,220 orders to date and more than 900 aircraft delivered to over 90 operators, the A330 Family is achieving average dispatch reliability above 99 percent.
With nearly an all-Airbus fleet, AviancaTaca has combined orders for 190 aircraft and now operates 100 Airbus aircraft, including 91 A320 Family and nine A330 aircraft. AviancaTaca has a backlog of more than 80 Airbus aircraft.
With more than 700 aircraft sold and a backlog of nearly than 350, over 450 Airbus aircraft are in operation throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In the last 10 years, Airbus tripled its in-service fleet, while delivering more than 60 percent of all aircraft operating in the region.

Lost In Your Embrace
I never knew I didn't exist before you
You looked into my eyes and saw the real me
never judging, always there
you saw what others could not see.
I was more myself with you than ever
How did you "get me" so fast
I dreamed you would be mine one day
Even though it wasn't meant to last.
We lived a fantasy lie, you and I
Others left waiting for us to return
Anything to spend a few stolen moments together
Forever etched in my heart those memories burn.
But time was never on our side it seemed
In my dreams I still see your handsome face
Always living for those magical moments
I was forever lost in your embrace.
I miss your sweet kisses baby every minute of the day
and the way you used to hold me so tight
I wish we never had to end our love affair
But breaking someones heart can never be right.

One of my favorite things at healthcare IT conferences is to see someone dressed in full uniform. Turns out it happens a lot since the government run military hospitals and healthcare services are a large and important part of the US healthcare system. On this Veteran's Day, I thought I'd depart from the usual Meaningful Use Monday to talk about a few of the things I know our military is doing and has done with EHR software in the Military.
Healthcare has gained a lot from innovations that have been done for the military with their EHR and the devices they use in healthcare. The most obvious discussion that happens with the military and EHR is the Vista EHR software that's used in the VA. Vista has been a model for many to look at and see how multiple hospitals can share patient data. No doubt, the VA has a unique position that can't be transferred to other hospitals. However, the benefits they receive from having one VA Vista EHR is something all of healthcare should try and achieve.
Plus, shortly after I first started in the EHR world, the government made the Vista EHR software open source. I still remember when the HIM director showed me a news clipping about Vista EHR being free. We were preparing for our EHR implementation in a small clinic and I had to explain to her how Vista might be free, but might not be the best option for a small practice. Although, if we were a hospital, I have little doubt I would have been looking a lot deeper into Vista. Now we have a number of companies built on the back of the Vista open source EHR software. They've had a hard road, but I think it's a really healthy thing to have some open source EHR options for hospitals to consider. I hope they get much more widespread adoption. No doubt they have a compelling case to make.
Some of you might remember my review of the Durabook U12C convertible tablet. I think we can reasonably say that if it weren't for the military we wouldn't have hardly any offerings like this. When I think about a medic in the military trying to treat a patient in the desert of Iraq, it's hard for me to fathom how brutal the conditions could be and the specialized equipment for the harsh environment. Add in the amazing military surgeons who are treating injured soldiers in makeshift military hospitals and I'm in awe of what they're able to accomplish. Plus, the things they learn come back to benefit us.
With that in mind, think about the challenge of having the record of someone in the military available around the world no matter where they may be stationed. That's an incredible challenge and one that I know the military is working hard to conquer.
While not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I'm always proud when America spares no expense taking care of the military heroes who come home injured. They deserve the best medical care we can provide for sacrificing so much for the country. These are perfect opportunities to use telemedicine, mHealth and every other healthcare technology available.
One area I think that's still developing is social media benefiting our injured military heroes. I know I've seen the power of connected communities of patients online. I hope we see more and more of these come together to help our military veterans.
On this Veterans day, let's take a moment and honor our Veterans.

A while ago I posted my first blog post in what I promised would be a series of blogposts surrounding the Symfony2 Sonata Admin Bundle. Finally, I have come around to writing the second blog post, this time about role based security. Continue reading
Role based security in Sonata Admin
Sorting on multiple columns in Sonata Admin
Recently, I have been developing again in Symfony2 using the Sonata AdminBundle. Yet again, I have stumbled on things that I thought were pretty common and easy, but I found it was very hard to find solutions for it. It even meant I had to dive into the code of the bundle, which I learned a lot from by the way, but I'd rather not had to do that for these "simple" tasks.
Therefore, I am going to write it down in a blogpost. But instead of doing one large blogpost, I will make it a series of multiple smaller blogposts to give you something to look out for.

Upcoming conferences I am involved in
There are a lot of PHP conferences throughout the world, but I would like to highlight three of them: Symfony Live London, PHPNW and CodeConnexx. I am involved in all three conferences, one way or another.

How to use the Symfony2 SonataAdminBundle
I have been doing a lot of Symfony2 development lately for our project ProTalk and one of the things we needed was a backend for our database. This should be a fairly simple backend to start with, just an easy way to get data into the database. So I thought I would use the SonataAdminBundle to easy generate this backend based on the doctrine2 entities that we already have. Eventually, I got it working, but it took me some time to find out exactly how, so I thought I'd share my experiences. Continue reading
PHPBenelux 2012
Last week I visited the awesome PHPBenelux conference. I consider myself to be a phpbenelux veteran because I attended all editions of this conference. Although the very first edition was great already, the conference still manages to do better every year. This year there was not only a social on the friday evening but also an after party on saturday. Both social events were awesome and the conference itself was awesome too ofcourse. The conference is organised by the community and therefore it has a real community vibe that is present everywhere.
This year it was a first for me to attend the tutorials on friday morning as well as the conference. It was great to be part of the tutorial, it is a chance to dive deeper into a subject which in my case was "Mobile for PHP developers" by Ivo Jansch. He did a great job and explained everything very well with real world examples. The talks I attended on friday and saturday were very interesting. Not all were new topics to me, but sometimes it is good to be reminded about things you already know. Talking to old and new friends in the PHP community makes any conference even better and this was no exception. All in all, I had a great time last weekend.
We are now preparing a presentation at work to tell the rest of the colleagues what they missed out on and hopefully we can persuade some of them to join us next year. I for one, will definitely be there since this is a conference I really don't want to miss, and neither should you!
ProTalk update December 2011
A lot has happened since my October post announcing ProTalk, the secret project I am working on with my friend, Kim Rowan. So much in fact that now seems the ideal time to update you on our progress! Before I begin, Kim and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all those who left comments on my original post, and all those at PfCongres and PHPNW 2011 who showed an interest and offered their ideas, suggestions and words of support. Both Kim and I were delighted with the response and we feel very encouraged that the PHP community is indeed going to find ProTalk to be the useful resource we hope it becomes.
Importing a new project in Git
I'm working on the ProTalk project and one of the things I needed to do was to import the initial code for the project into our private bitbucket repository. I created the repository online, but since this is my first time working with Git I didn't know how to import the code into this repository. As it turns out it was very simple (like with everything that is simple once you know how to do it) and it only took a few commands to get it working.
Go to the directory where the code is and use the following commands:
git init
git add *
git commit -m "Initial import"
git remote add origin <repository url>
git push origin master
That's all there is to it, but it took me some time to figure it out. I will certainly learn a lot more using Git for this project, since this is the first time I'm using a Distributed Versioning Control System and I can't wait.
Ada Lovelace Day 2011
Today it's Ada Lovelace day. For those of you who haven't heard of Ada Lovelace Day before, it's a special day to honour women in technology whom you look up to or have learnt a lot from or just have been inspired by during the last couple of years. For me, this isn't one special woman, it's a whole group!
ProTalk – Our secret project revealed
Together with my friend Kim Rowan, I recently started a project. The idea of this project came from her own experience. Since Kim is a newbie in the PHP world, coming from a Filemaker background, she saw a need for good online video and audio content where she could pick up ideas to investigate some more and learn proper PHP programming. Yahoo has something like this, called YUI Theater, but there is nothing like this for PHP as far as we know.
Our aim is to create an online community resource called ProTalk, that provides a central point of access to video and audio content with a PHP focus. On the web there are lots of video's, podcasts, seminars and self-recorded talks spread out for us PHP developers to find, but we are lacking one central resource where we can find all this and it all comes together. At least, that's what we think. So, we invite you to tell us what you think!
Being a first time speaker at PfCongres 2011
It's almost two weeks ago that PfCongres was held and now I finally have the time to write my experiences down. For me personally, PfCongres was my first experience with speaking at a conference. My talk was about Introducing Quality Management from a practical point of view. Since I was one of the first speakers of the day, I skipped the keynote session by Michelangelo to prepare. I was very nervous going up the stage, but at some level I also felt comfortable on there. I think it went very well, considering it was the first time, also judged from the joind.in comments from some of the attendees. The talk lasted about 30 minutes but after that there were a lot of questions from the audience and I had time to answer everyone. It was the kind of feedback I had hoped for from the audience and it made the talk more valuable for everyone including me.

Why you'd want to live in Lake Stevens
Named after the largest lake in Snohomish County (1,000 acres and 8 miles of shoreline), Lake Stevens is east of Everett. The lake has both public and private shore lands, with sandy public beaches and public boat launches. Canoes, jet skis, airplanes, sailboats, surfboards, rowboats, windsurfers and activities like horseback riding, sunbathing, and fishing can all be enjoyed at Lake Stevens. The Centennial trail stretches from Snohomish to Lake Stevens and will soon extend up to Arlington.

Rubio Answers Question on Age of Earth
(WASHINGTON) -- Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., clarified his answer about the age of the Earth on Wednesday, two weeks after he passed on answering a question on the Earth's age in an interview with GQ.
"Science says it's about four and a half billion years old, and my faith teaches that that's not inconsistent," Rubio said at a Politico Playbook breakfast hosted by Mike Allen. "The answer I gave was actually trying to make the same point the president made a few years ago, and that is there is no scientific debate on the age of the Earth. I mean, it's established pretty definitively as at least four and a half billion years old … I was referring to a theological debate and which is a pretty healthy debate."
"I still believe God did it," Rubio added. "And that's how I've been able to reconcile that and I think it's consistent with the teachings of my church. But other people have a deeper conflict and I just think in America we should have the freedom to teach our children whatever we believe."
In a recent interview with GQ, Rubio said he was not "qualified" to answer a question about the age of the Earth, adding, "I'm not a scientist, man."
"At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all," Rubio said in the interview with GQ. "Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that."
Despite the heat he received for not answering the question, Rubio said he has no regrets about how he responded to the initial question.
"I don't regret it," Rubio said. "I wish I would have given a better answer, a more succinct answer, but we went from talking about hip-hop and then it got pivoted to the Earth — I'm not a robot, I got caught off-guard, I guess."
At the breakfast Wednesday morning, the young Florida senator also weighed in on the topic of homosexuality, saying he believes it is a sin.
"I can tell you what faith teaches and the faith teaches that it is," Rubio said.
Rubio expressed hope that immigration reform could be achieved in the next two years, saying that a comprehensive package of bills is needed to solve the issue, and he gave 50/50 odds to the prospect of passing some type of pathway to citizenship for current undocumented immigrants in the next four years.
"I'm really hopeful we can deal with the issue of immigration holistically," Rubio said of immigration reform. "I am optimistic if we can depoliticize this issue that we can solve it."
On the fiscal cliff negotiations, Rubio said he's "optimistic" that a deal will be reached by Christmas Eve.
"I think something will happen. I believe that we'll avoid this," Rubio said. "There's just too much at stake. I think something will happen."
Rubio, who did not mention Romney in his speech Tuesday night at a dinner hosted by the Jack Kemp Foundation, doled out a bit of praise for Romney, suggesting the former GOP nominee will play a yet-to-be-determined role in the future of the Republican Party.
"Mitt Romney is a role model as a person," Rubio said. "I think he has a lot to offer the Republican Party and this country, and I don't know exactly what that role is going to be … he has a lot to contribute."
But when asked who currently personifies leadership the best in Washington, D.C., Rubio reached outside of politics and chose a figure in the Washington Redskins' world, naming Robert Griffin III as his pick for the best leader in D.C. Griffin is a quarterback; in 2011 he won the Heisman Trophy playing football for Baylor University.
And when it came to his own future to lead the country, Rubio demurred on whether or not he'd launch a bid for the White House, saying, "I have no idea. I just don't know, so I think right now I should focus on being a good United States senator."

I see this dog tied there at 7am, noon, 3pm, 7pm on my way to work, on my way home, to pick up my kids. Doesn't matter, it seems as though it's out all the time.
Some homeowner should be tied outside in this weather.
I've called PPD...that got us nowhere
I've called OAC...that got us nowhere
MHS won't come to investigate as it's not their jurisdiction. Who do we call next for this blatant cruelty to an animal?
Don't we have a law that says an animal MUST have shelter? It's 20 outside..it was -5 this morning when I seen it. That is cruelty and yet my calls go unanswered

We are in the Berchtesgaden National Park, at lake Obersee (Lake Superior), a small lake above the more famous Königssee lake, which feeds on its clear waters.
It can be reached along an accessible trail from the Salet stop of the electric boats of Königssee.
The valley is closed naturally in the cascade of Rothbacher, and in the other end of the lake, wrapped in clouds, rises the Mount Watzmann, the third highest mountain in Germany.
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

Halleran received the Mackey Award for Excellence in Masonic Scholarship by the Scottish Rite Research Society for his article on Civil War Freemasonry in that society's journal: Heredom, vol. 14 (2006). In addition, he is the author of a regular column for The Scottish Rite Journal.
He is a member of the Quatuor Coronati Correspondence Circle, and the Scottish Rite Research Society where he studies American military Masonry and the traditions of military lodges worldwide.
"Michael Halleran has set a new, high standard for scholarship on Freemasonry in the Civil War. His stories are compelling, the research is impeccable, and his analysis gives fresh insights on the "mystic tie" of the fraternity."— S. Brent Morris, Ph.D., Managing Editor, Scottish Rite Journal
"Not much has been written on this topic, which makes Halleran's book the beginning of a new trail. It is recommended to Freemasons, and to those interested in the Civil War and what influence Freemasons had."--Blue & Gray Magazine
"Given the freshness of the topic, the good research, and the effective presentation, I strongly recommend this book. It covers a significant but un-studied aspect of the war."—Earl J. Hess, author of The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth and In the Trenches at Petersburg: Field Fortifications and Confederate Defeat

Darien starts fast, deals Ridgefield first boys lax conference loss of season
DARIEN -- If Tuesday afternoon's clash between Ridgefield and Darien was in any way indicative of what's to come in the postseason, lacrosse fans should be in for a treat.
Darien, which did not trail in the game, got the jump on Ridgefield in the first quarter and held off the Tigers in the second half, defending its home turf with a 9-7 win while handing Ridgefield its first FCIAC loss.
"I think the main thing we did was come out with more energy than we had in the past. We come out strong, but then our energy kind of dips at one point in the game, and teams capitalize on that," Darien goalie Phil Huffard said. "Today I think we just had strong energy all the way from the first through the fourth."
In a relatively low-scoring second half, the Wave (8-5, 8-1 FCIAC) and Tigers (11-2, 9-1 FCIAC) combined for just five goals, but two of those belonged to Darien's Ian Burgoyne. Burgoyne's first marker opened up the second half scoring exactly midway through the third quarter, while his second gave Darien an 8-6 lead early in the fourth.
"Everything moves so fast out there, but on the second one I know Peter (Lindley) had me there, and we worked against their zone all through practice yesterday," Burgoyne said. "We made some great passes and stuck our shots against a great goalie, and hopefully we'll see them again."
A mere 19 seconds after Burgoyne's second marker however, Ridgefield's Brett Baker scored his third goal to cut the Tiger deficit to 8-7.
After nearly five more minutes of scoreless play and several clutch saves by Huffard and Ridgefield netminder Conor Shannon, Darien boosted its lead back to two when John Reed assisted Jack Kniffen with 4:41 remaining.
Leading by two, Darien got possession with three minutes remaining and ran the clock down to 47 seconds before Ridgefield got it back, but the Tigers took just one more shot before time expired.
"I don't think it was just the first quarter; they just outplayed us, as simple as I think that they just wanted it more than we did," Ridgefield coach Roy Colsey said. "If you can't get possession of the ball, no matter what kind of offense you run or what type of offensive players you have, they're not scoring. And (Darien's) goalie played well. The few chances we had, he turned away pretty easily."
Darien started strong by scoring four out of the first five goals. Peter Lindley opened the scoring after receiving a pass from Kniffen and making a move around a Ridgefield defender, and Reed scored two goals in 25 seconds to run Darien's lead to 3-0 with 5:03 left in the first quarter.
"John Reed really got us into it. I think John went out there with a chip on his shoulder," Burgoyne said. "I thought that if he was doing that for us that we should be able to do something for him too. Ridgefield is a fantastic team, and to make a statement like this with our first big win is something else."
Ridgefield's Cal Dearth put his team on the board with 3:48 left in the opening quarter, Darien's Kevin Seiler increased Darien's lead to 4-1 with 2:52 remaining and Ridgefield's Simon Mathias scored with 2:17 left in the first quarter to cut Darien's lead to 4-2 heading into the second.
"I'm not saying the ball was bouncing into (Darien's) sticks, but that's how it felt," Colsey said. "Every time there was a ground ball they won it and we didn't. Give them credit. They had a good gameplan. I'm just a little disappointed in our effort."
Ridgefield won the second quarter 3-2, highlighted by a pair of goals by Baker, as Darien took a 6-5 lead into the break. Also scoring for Ridgefield in the period was Ryan Dunn, while Darien's two markers came courtesy of Seiler and Lindley. Ridgefield pulled even for the first and only time on Baker's second goal of the quarter, which made the score 5-5.
Andrew Pugliese won 19 of 21 faceoffs for Darien.
Huffard came up with six saves in the second half while only permitting a pair of goals, keying the Blue Wave's ability to hold off the Tigers and denying a potential game-tier on several occasions.
"We've been pretty strong in the FCIAC," Huffard said. "Obviously, out of conference we've had a couple losses that have kind of tested our morale, but I think we came back and we're ready to make a run."

Muhammad's birth is said to have been in the "year of the Elephant", which one believes is pointing to the invasion from Yemen, where an elephant was brought along in order to smash the Ka'ba, an event which is dated to 570 AD (where Muhammad's recorded age at certain times, have been used as the main source for the estimation). Muhammad's family belonged to the clan of Hashim, a branch of the Quraysh tribe. While the Quraysh was dominating Mecca, the Hashimis had little but religious prestige connected to the, at that time pagan, shrine of Ka'ba.
As Muhammad's father, Abdullah, died before the birth of his son, and his mother, Amina, when he was 6, Muhammad was in the care of his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib for two years, and then with his uncle Abu Talib, until he reached mature age.
Muhammad is, by Muslim theologists, not believed to have received any education, and in young age he started working with the caravans. It was while working as a trader, that Muhammad came to know the widow (and divorcee) Khadija, who was the owner of a caravan company where Muhammad was employed. At the age of 25 Muhammad married Khadija, then 40. Even if Khadija had children from both of her former marriages, she got 7 children with Muhammad.
Khadija died in 619, and soon Muhammad remarried. Unlike in his marriage with Khadija, he chose to have several wifes, 9 is reported. Some of these wifes were ways of knotting closer relations with powerful people in the society, and some were widows without economical support.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee, saying the time of games in 2007 averaged 3 hours 22 minutes, is pushing through several rules designed to shorten games in 2008.
The most controversial has to do with the game clock after a player runs out of bounds. Under the old rule, the game clock would not start until the ball was snapped on the next play. Under the new rule, once the ball is ruled ready for play, the official will start the game clock. This will will not apply in the last two minutes of each half.
Other rules changes:
- The 40/25-second play clock, which was approved last year, will go into effect. After every play is whistled dead, the 40-second clock will start. When there is a stoppage of play, a 25-second play clock will be used. Previously, only a 25-second play clock was used and it did not start until the ball was marked ready for play.
- A coach gets an extra replay challenge if his first one is upheld. But he will be granted only the one extra challenge.
- The incidental five-yard facemask penalty has been eliminated. It's now strickly a 15-yard penalty. This eliminates a judgment call on the part of the officials and it appears that only when there is a pulling, twisting or turning of the head will a penalty be called.
- Horse collar tackles are now illegal and classified as a personal foul and 15-yard penalty.
- The receiving team will have the option of taking the ball on its 40-yard line on kickoffs that go out of bounds. Previously it was the 35.
- Sideline or bench warnings to coaches and players who crowd the field have been eliminated. It's now strictly a penalty.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel will rubber stamp the rules in April. Do you like the rule changes, dislike? We'd love to hear what you think so fire away in the comments section.

Mullen Stoker Chartered Accountants
We are a brand new but experienced highly professional Chartered Accountancy Practice that has a modern approach to the supply of traditional and new services to clients.
We are based in Durham City (an old traditional city) in the North East of England.
As Accountancy Practices go we are a fairly youthful business, where employees are aged 27-40, highly qualified and dedicated and were hand picked (we all worked together at another company prior).
We are targeting a wide range of businesses as we have a range of skill levels for our different client managers. Our client base currently ranges from Groups of Companies all the way through to New Start Businesses, and this is also the type of new clients we'd like to attract. Solicitors accounts are also high on our target list
We require a Logo that portrays a prestegious, professional image. We would like the logo to be symbolic and instantly recognisable as us, yet not gimmicky.
AN IDEA COULD BE SOMETHING INCORPORATING A "£" SIGN AND THE LETTERS MuSt (representing the first two letters of Mullen and Stoker)
We think it best that the name 'Mullen Stoker' should appear on it (even if it's just at the bottom of the symbol). We currently have a first attempt logo (see LogoOrg.jpg) that we are currently using but feel as though it's just a name and we need something more symbolic to create an identity for us.
We would prefer to stick with the maroon colour but are not adamant, however definately not blue.

So if you have a light bulb in a room, and you had a tool to measure the amount of light that's in the room, then let's assume the amount of light only caused by the bulb is "1"
If you place a mirror next to the bulb, does the amount of light in the room in crease to "2"?
Can you keep going so that the light in the room in creases to 3..etc with more mirrors?
How far can you take this? Also, is it actually adding light to the room, or is it simply causing the same photons to move faster (reflecting from one mirror to the next) making it seem like there is more light in the room, but there really isn't?
Made me think, so I thought I ask here :)

Store shelves could soon be filled with boxes of Baltimore's iconic Berger Cookies: The City Health Department approved the company's license on Wednesday and gave it a green light for production.
The bakery expects to begin limited deliveries over the weekend and intends to resume its full schedule by Monday, said Anthony T. Bartlett, a spokesman for the family-owned, privately held company.
That's welcome news to retailers and shoppers, who have been without the cookies for nearly three weeks.
"It's one of those items people hunt you down for," said Jason Jeffers, a manager at Eddie's Market of Charles Village.
The rack near the register where Berger Cookies usually sit have been filled with other baked goods. "We ended up setting out chocolate-topped cookies," said the store's general manager, Howard Glazer. "But they're not Bergers."
And in Baltimore, substitutes will not do.
"I couldn't imagine the chocolate frosting not existing," said Colleen Condon of North Harford Road. Condon said the health-department issues wouldn't keep her from buying the cookies again because they were not related to food safety. "I'm just really glad they're coming back."
So is Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski.
"With all the bad news coming out of Washington, I'm glad there's great news coming out of Baltimore," she said. "I never met a calorie I didn't like — and that goes double for Berger Cookies. All of Baltimore can rest a little easier knowing that our sweet tooths will soon have a Berger Cookie to bite into."
After receiving an anonymous tip, the Health Department closed the bakery on Jan. 31 for operating without a city-issued food-service license. And it appears that the DeBaufre Bakeries, which has been producing the hand-dipped cookies since 1969, had never obtained the proper approvals.
"It's just a very rare occurrence for this to happen," said Mary Beth Haller, the assistant commissioner of environmental health.
The city has no record of DeBaufre Bakeries ever having a food license, and Haller said the department handles about a dozen cases each year of establishments operating without a license. Of those, most are cases in which someone bought an existing restaurant and did not get a new license in the new owner's name.
Bartlett, the company's attorney, said the bakery's failure to have a proper license was not a willful attempt to evade regulation.
"It appears they had their federal permit and have been routinely inspected [by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration]," he said. "For whatever reason there was no understanding that they needed a Baltimore City permit."
The bakery does have a federal food license, according to the FDA, and officials there have an ongoing investigation stemming from a routine inspection in January. A spokesman declined to comment on what the investigators have found. Records show the FDA, which does not communicate about its findings with the city, inspected the bakery at least once before, in 2011, and found no serious violations.
When the city Health Department inspected the bakery on Feb. 1, it found what a department spokeswoman described as "non-critical violations that would not pose an immediate threat to the public's health." These included a broken bathroom door, burned-out light bulbs and cracks on the floor, walls and ceiling.
When inspectors returned on Feb. 14, all the violations had been addressed except a hole above the mop sink and a missing employee hand-washing sign. On that same day, the health department approved the bakery's food license, pending the completion of a full license application.
But the bakery's efforts to complete its application were stalled by the ill health of its sole owner, Charles DeBaufre, who was hospitalized on Feb. 14 for a respiratory ailment and remained in the hospital on Wednesday. Bartlett said that it was only Monday when DeBaufre was well enough to sign the proper documents.
Berger Cookies are famous, but the bakery itself operates quietly in an unmarked building in the city's Cherry Hill neighborhood. Store owners who buy and stock the bakery's cookies were not informed about the health department closure by the bakery directly. Multiple retailers said they had heard the delay in production was because the bakery's roof had collapsed.
The lack of a license is not the first paperwork issue that the bakery has faced. In 2002 the bakery forfeited its corporate charter, which is distinct from a business license, for failure in 2001 to file a property return, a document companies must complete to remain incorporated. The charter was reinstated in 2010, and the company is now in good standing.
"That's not unusual and happens all the time. It happens to lots of companies of all sizes," said Mark D. Dopkin, an attorney specializing in real estate law with the Tydings and Rosenberg law firm. "Sometimes the owner thinks the accountant did it, and the accountant thinks the owner did it."
The process of obtaining all the necessary charters, permits and licenses can be a challenging or lengthy one for small business owners, said Kiesha Smoots, director of the state Small Business and Technology Development Center's regional office in Baltimore. The office commonly gets questions not just from those who are starting businesses from scratch, but those who have bought or inherited businesses and don't understand all the legal and regulatory steps that must be taken.
"It's not something you might get done overnight or within a couple of days," Smoots said. "It's important to get the support and advice from an expert to prevent some of the issues that could come down the road."
Berger Cookies has never been a company that seemed slickly run or eager to make huge gains in market share.
"I don't think they've put any kind of concerted effort to promoting themselves like Sun of Italy and Old Bay have," said Sarah Quackenbush, president of the Baltimore Chapter of the non-profit American Advertising Federation. "A lot of money is put to making a commodity product into an icon. Brands try to do it everyday. [Berger has] quietly grown their business by making a really good product."
And while the company doesn't often chase publicity, the interest surrounding the licensing problem could be the kind of attention some brands only dream about. Susan J. Anthony, founder of Baltimore County public relations firm Sawmill Marketing, said the nature of the cookie shortage means it could turn out to be a net plus for the company.
"Because it was in essence a regulatory goof, and there's not the slightest hint it was anything other than an administrative goof-up," she said, "it's kind of a shot to their local awareness and recognition."

These Norton White Aluminum Oxide grinding wheels will grind cooler than the grey wheels that normally come with grinders The wheels are a "J" hardness, and friable, so the worn cutting particles are released from the wheel, exposing fresh ones. This action is very useful when grinding harder metals like high speed steels used in turning tools. White aluminum oxide wheels will make your grinder more "user friendly" and will put a sharper edge on your turning tools.
We offer 60 grit wheels for easier shaping of tools and 100 grit for general sharpening while turning. All the wheels have a 1" bore and are bushed to fit the grinder arbor sizes listed below. These wheels can be used with the Oneway Balancing System.
The 6" White Wheels are bushed to fit 3/4", 5/8" and 1/2" arbors.
The 8" White Wheels are bushed to fit 3/4" and 5/8" arbors.

WASHINGTON -- Sweeping immigration legislation moving toward a vote in the Senate would boost the economy and reduce federal deficits, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday, at the same time it would bestow legal status on an estimated 8 million immigrants living in the United States unlawfully.
In an assessment that drew cheers from the White House and other backers of the bill, Congress' scorekeeping agency said the legislation would boost the overall economy. It put deficit reduction at $197 billion across a decade, and $700 billion in the following 10 years if the bill became law.
The White House issued a statement after the report was released, saying it was "more proof that bipartisan commonsense immigration reform will be good for economic growth and deficit reduction." Several of the "Gang of Eight" lawmakers who drafted the Senate bill also welcomed the news.
Other supporters said the estimate would add to the momentum behind a measure that toughens border security at the same time it holds out the hope of citizenship to millions who came to the United States illegally or overstayed their visas.
The assessment came as the pace of activity increased at both ends of the Capitol on an issue that President Barack Obama has placed at the top of his domestic agenda.
Challenged by protesters chanting "shame, shame," House Republicans advanced legislation to crack down on immigrants living illegally in the United States.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said the bill moving through the House Judiciary Committee was part of a "step by step, increment by increment" approach to immigration, an issue that can pit Republican against Republican as much if not more than it divides the two political parties.
The House panel approved its legislation on a party-line vote of 20-15 late yesterday.
The measure permits state and local authorities to enforce federal immigration laws and requires mandatory detention for anyone in the country illegally who is convicted of drunken driving.
Despite the protests, approval by the GOP-led committee was a foregone conclusion. The panel's chairman, Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.) said future bills would require companies to make sure their employees are living in the United States legally, create a program for foreign farm workers who labor in the United States and enhance the ability of American firms to hire highly skilled workers from overseas.
Those steps and more are already rolled into one sweeping measure in the Senate, a bipartisan bill that Obama supports and appears on track for a final Senate vote as early as July 4.

Besides the delightful and surprising exhibition Warhol TV at la Maison Rouge, the Grand Palais offers a great retrospective of Andy Warhol's art of portrait.
Le Grand Monde d'Andy Warhol can refer to "the large world" as well as to "high society".
You will see no Campbell Soups, no Car Crash, no Plane Accident, and just one Coca Cola Bottle here, but a lot of faces. And among them, his own.
Self Portrait 1966
"I paint myself to remind me that I am still here".
Self Portrait "Fright Wig" 1986. He will die a year later.
One of his first works on modern icons status is his well known series of Marylin, initiated in 1962, shortly after Monroe's death.
Nine Marylins circa 1962
Brigitte Bardot, 1974
Movie stars, show business stars, heavy make up, artifice, staring eyes, shallowness, spleen…
One of the Mick Jagger series (circa 1970)
One of the Debbie Harris series 1980.
Warhol wished that all his portrait had the same scale, so that they could be put together, and form one single painting called "portrait of society"…And maybe someday Metropolitan Museum would want to bye it…
Actually, the Met bought some.
A tribute to Man Ray .
Do take time to watch and listen to Warhol's filmed "letter to Man Ray", it's perfect : dandysm, humour, respect, and art of rpetition (on Christmas menu theme).
The exhibition's plan divides portraits in different themes, and one room is dedicated to glamour, and portraits of fashion designers, like Gorgio Armani :
and also a 1974 series of Yves Saint-Laurent's portraits, property of Pierre Bergé Collection. But you will not see these. Pierre Bergé was offended that Saint-Laurent would be mixed with fashion designers, instead of being shown in the artists room, and he had these removed. Which is a bit offending too, for fashion designers first, after all Yves Saint Laurent might have been a great art collector, but his real art was in designing great clothes. And it's a pity for us too.
Anyway, its a great exhibition, and it's a big success as it has just started, so it's better to make a reservation.
Le grand Monde d'Andy Warhol Grand Palais Metro Champs Elysées -Clémenceau, up to 2009 July 13, everyday except Tuesday, 10 AM to 10 PM, but 10 AM to 8 PM on Thursday. Entrance €11.

All three services of the Malaysian armed forces have received significant cuts to their procurement budget requests for 2012. The political context for this is the build up to a general election, which must be held by 2013. With defense spending being a contentious issue in Malaysia and the need to reduce state spending, the current government has opted for sizable cutbacks.
However, assuming the current ruling National Front coalition retains power, this state of affairs is unlikely to continue beyond the election as the operational demands and needs of the armed forces is expected to require the Malaysian government to release funding for several pending military requirements. A key number of these requirements falls on the military aviation side, not only for the Royal Malaysian Air Force but also for its two sister services, the Malaysian Army and the Royal Malaysian Navy, both of which have plans to further develop their respective aviation arms.
The RMAF accounts for the bulk of Malaysia's military aviation requirements, with its multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA) program to replace its existing Russian MiG-29 fighters being the focus of attention. The air force plans to phase out its remaining eight operational MiG-29s by 2015. The RMAF originally had 18 MiG-29s but lost a pair of them in training accidents, while the other eight have been phased out and cannibalized to support the remaining eight.
Malaysia had issued an initial request for proposal in March 2011 with an envisaged operational entry-service date of 2015-2016. As such, given the normal production cycles of at least 24 months or longer until delivery after signing of a contract, it would appear likely that a decision on the MRCA would have to be made by mid-2013.
There are four aircraft primarily in the running for this requirement: Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet, the Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault's Rafale and the Saab Gripen. A fifth aircraft in contention is Irkut's Su-30MKM, with the RMAF already having 18 of the Russian jets in service.
Despite both defense minister Dato' Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and RMAF chief general Tan Sri Rodzali Daud having publicly stated on several occasions that only Western-manufactured aircraft will be considered, Russian representatives have argued that they are very much in the running in the competition and that an additional order of Su-30MKMs is also under consideration.
However, the Sukhoi offering appears to be compromised by the technical problems and delays experienced by Malaysia when it introduced the type into its fleet. Coupled with that is the two-man crew requirement for the Su-30MKM, with the current fleet of 18 already taking up a significant portion of the RMAF's combat aircraft crew and the air force's current training assets being insufficient in generating adequate numbers of pilots and support crew. On this basis, it seems unlikely that the RMAF would want to compound its personnel shortfall by ordering additional Su-30MKMs.
AEW&C Requirement
While focus has primarily been on the MRCA program, the RMAF still has an outstanding requirement for up to four airborne early warning and control aircraft (AEW&C). However, funding for the program has yet to be officially allocated.
Northrop Grumman has been strongly marketing the E-2D Hawkeye, while rival Saab has also been pushing the Erieye AEW&C system, which would be installed on a platform of Malaysia's choice. Saab has also tied in the Erieye with the Malaysian MRCA requirement, offering it as part of a package with the Gripen. As part of that, at the Langkawi International and Maritime (LIMA) show held in December 2011, Saab signed a memorandum of understanding for joint collaboration with Malaysia's DRB-Hicom on offering an AEWC system to Malaysia. Airbus has been marketing its C295 AEW platform but the aircraft's Israeli radar and electronics likely rule it out of contention in regards to Malaysia because of political sensitivities.
Problems with the Airbus A400M transport program have resulted in the RMAF having to accept up to a two-year delay in delivery (falling from 2013-2014 to 2015-2016). However, the air force has taken the setback positively with chief general Tan Sri Rodzali saying that the new time frame will allow more time to prepare the necessary infrastructure and equipment to support the aircraft, which will be the largest aircraft in the air force fleet. The A400Ms will operate out of the RMAF Subang base in Kuala Lumpur and construction is expected to begin there soon for new facilities to support the troop carrier.
Fleet Upgrades
Despite the RMAF's purchase of the A400M and the Eurocopter EC725 helicopter, both the entire existing RMAF C-130 Hercules fleet and a significant portion of the S-61A Nuri helicopter fleet will continue to be in service and are slated for an upgrade and service life extension program. This work is likely to be carried out by Airod Malaysia, which already has an existing maintenance contract with the RMAF for both aircraft. However, some of the RMAF's requirements for the programs may lead to Airod looking for subcontractors.
The RMAF plans to upgrade the avionics of its C-130 fleet along with installation of glass cockpits and a defensive suite. The latter is a priority due to the increased deployment of the aircraft to high threat areas. Last year, RMAF C-130s conducted emergency evacuations of Malaysian citizens in Egypt, and also provided transport for Malaysian military medical teams serving in Afghanistan. While in neither case have the RMAF C-130s have been threatened by anti-aircraft weapons, the RMAF has been concerned over the aircraft's nonexistent defenses against such threats.
Despite the purchase of 12 EC725s, Malaysia has laid down the requirement that the RMAF must have a fleet of 27 medium-lift helicopters. With no funding available for additional EC725s, the RMAF is pursuing a service life extension and upgrade for 15 of the current 28 S-61 helicopters to keep them in service.
In the meantime, the Royal Malaysian Navy plans to purchase at least six anti-submarine warfare helicopters, but this requirement is likely to be postponed to 2013 due to the 2012 budget cuts. Sikorsky has been heavily marketing the MH-60R Seahawk for this requirement, although Eurocopter has offered the possibility of a navalized EC725. The navy is keen to expand its air wing, which currently operates six Fennec and six Super Lynx helicopters that have seen extensive use in its ongoing anti-piracy escort mission around the Gulf of Aden.
With its 11 AgustaWestland A109s fully integrated into the Army Air Corps reconnaissance squadron, the Malaysian army is looking toward building a squadron of six to 12 attack helicopters, although this program is also likely on hold temporarily due to the budget cuts. Plans also call for a tactical transport helicopter squadron. Originally, this would have entailed the transfer of the RMAF's S-61 fleet to the army but this has been scrapped because the RMAF has been unable to obtain funding to replace the S-61 with the EC725s on a one-for-one basis. The army has since prioritized the attack helicopter squadron but the tactical transport helicopter squadron remains part of its long-term goal.

UPPER EAST SIDE — Sushi has befriended the bloody mary.
At Arlington Club, chef Laurent Tourondel's steak-and-sushi restaurant that opened last November, a new brunch menu launching Saturday will boast bagel-themed sushi.
The "everything smoked salmon" sushi brings together traditional bagel toppings — such as smoked salmon, cream cheese and scallions — with asparagus and daikon.
"Brunch means something different for everyone," Tourondel, 46, said in an email. "For some, who are early risers like myself, brunch is a midday meal and a customer might want to order a more fitting lunch item; for others, they'll lean towards our more breakfast-y items, which is exactly what I aimed for with this menu."
Other nontraditional items like poached egg and short rib popovers will be served alongside familiar favorites including huevos rancheros and challah French toast with rum-caramelized bananas and roasted pecans.
The food and cocktail menu at the restaurant — which is located at 1032 Lexington Ave. near East 74th Street — wasn't quite finalized on Friday, but dishes will cost about $14 to $24, Tourondel said.
The dishes were inspired by Tourondel's travels through the United States, which showed him different regions' approaches to brunch, said the chef, who is a native of Montlucon, France.
"This menu reflects my interpretations of these classic American dishes, and how I have reimagined them: huevos rancheros, eggs and popovers, and my own take on the eggs benedict," Tourondel said. "I like to incorporate familiar elements in the American style of cooking and use this in new ways."

The decisions they make about family planning will make a huge impact on how many of billions of us there are on this planet, and what resources we have to go around. Experts determine that the first natural resource to be affected by climate change will be water.

butterfly garden bento box
The top section holds a butterfly pb&j sandwich (cut with my new Critter Cutters butterfly sandwich press by The Lunch Punch!). Surrounding the butterfly sandwich is: cheddar and jack cheese cut into butterfly shapes, butterfly crackers, a small flower cup holds organic yogurt covered raisins.
The bottom sections hold raspberries and cucumber flowers with carrot flower centers.
This butterfly lunch is packed in an EasyLunchbox container. :)
The sandwich butterfly is decorated with fruit leather, I cut the shapes out of fruit leather using mini-cookie cutters.
The cucumber/carrot flowers were made using two different sizes of mini-sized flower shaped cookie cutters, layered together. My daughter doesn't really care for carrots, but these were too cute for her to resist. ;-)

Hello lyndalaird! :)
Not a silly question! "Bento" refers to the Japanese method of packing meals. Traditionally, it is a meal packed compactly in a single container. There can be a lot of complexity to that simple answer though, from the size of the box (traditionally calculated and determined using a specific equation taking age of person, size of person and even gender into account!); with a specific ratio of food types packed (4:3:2:1 - being 4 parts rice, 3 parts meat, 2 parts veg, 1 part "other")... but I've found in American culture for "bento" to have become synonymous with a waste-free lunch, and more so, a waste-free lunch that is presented in a single container, so that all food is available at once, and available to eat at once, as soon as the lid is opened. :)
Here is some exhaustive info:

These are great slide guitars - nice chunky necks and they are full length scale as well - they just look short because the tailpiece is mounted way back on the body. Once you get used to it this can be pretty cool. The Kay "cake pan" pickup on these is the real prize here. You don't find them on fully solid guitars like this very often and this body is a nice thick piece of solid wood. You could drive a sinker ball over the center field wall with this baby then flip it back around and play "Dying Gambler" by Blind Willie McTell.

This here is a wonderful guitar. It sounds awesome and plays really well. It's an awesome garage rock and blues guitar. I've used it at a few shows myself back when I was in a band. It handled itself well. The tone knob, however, doesn't work, but it still sounds fat and has rockibility. The bridge is also a little broken, It's a $5 fix anywhere you go though. Again, the price is negotiable, so work with me. The money isn't flowing these days so I'm trying to rid myself of some things. This is a great guitar and piece of history.
Please reply via email.
Have a great day!

Bill Gates is considered as a great man. Many people look up to him. And a lot of people are inspired by his life. But then again like any other human being he also has his own mistakes. Here are the top 10 mistakes of Bill Gates.
- The man created a software monopoly and in return he got so many lawsuits for it.Bill Gates is still fighting with lawsuits.The source on wikipedia clearly stated that
United States v. Microsoft was a set of consolidated civil actions filed against Microsoft Corporation on May 18, 1998 by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and 20 U.S. states. Joel I. Klein was the lead prosecutor.The trial started on May 18, 1998 with the U.S. Justice Department and the Attorneys General of twenty U.S. states suing Microsoft for illegally thwarting competition in order to protect and extend its software monopoly.
- Bill Gates did not consider opensource. His business strategies always counter opensource principles and paradigm.You may be interested in his open-source debate In a Fortune magazine he clearly says that
It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not.
- The Windows OS made Mr. Gates the richest man in the world. But its latest iteration is bombarded with lots of negative criticisms.
- He allowed Windows Mobile to happen. Did he run out of innovative ideas so he settled for a miniature Windows OS for mobile phone. He could have put up a team to design the OS from ground up.
- He let DOS die. It was a promising OS and a very stable one.
- Bill Gates did not think of cloud computing probably because of his proprietary Windows OS. But this is definitely one of his biggest mistakes.
- He allowed Windows Millennium edition to be released. The OS was definitely a reflection of the lack of talents from Microsoft. It failed the expectation of the people. It was premature.
- He ignored search. Look what happened to Google now. Bill Gates already made some moves about search in the end of the 90s and it was definitely a mistake to trash it.Scobleizer once revealed in his post that Look at my last post. Now read this one over on LiveSide. It's a short report that Microsoft executives are bragging to MVPs that "we're in it to win."
I don't think Microsoft is. The words are empty. Microsoft's Internet execution sucks (on whole). Its search sucks. Its advertising sucks (look at that last post again). If that's "in it to win" then I don't get it. I saw a bunch of posts similar to the one on LiveSide coming out of the MVP Summit. I didn't post any of them to my link blog for a reason: All were air, no real demonstrations of how Microsoft is going to lead.
- The Microsoft Zune is a mistake. A lot of money poured into its development but yet it did not yield enough profit.John Biggs from Crunchgear had a poetic post on "Who killed Microsoft?".Some of the extract are as follows:
Who killed Microsoft? Why did all those jobs get lost?
"Not I," said the Zune fanboy, "I got Zune, I'm no iToy Sure it didn't do too much and too bad my girlfriend bought a Touch now we're iTunes all the way what else do I have to say?"
- The Xbox on the other hand is too pricey for a gaming console and because of this; people go for other brands- the cheaper ones.This is only reason why Xbox price set to drop in war with Sony's PS3 and Nintendo's top-selling Wii. Those are the top 10 mistakes of Bill Gates. These might be some of the negative side of the guy but these will never take away his greatness.

sistas necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 71 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
We are two sisters looking for a fun and quirky logo design for our new cupcake business that we will be operating out of our TINY vintage 1968 Shasta trailer. We both have enormous sweet tooths and love to bake. Sisterbelle (our nicknames for each other) and I have always dreamed of running a business together so voila', Sisterbelles was born!
Anyone! Everyone! Who doesn't love a homemade cupcake with delicious melt-in-your- mouth icing?!!!
Our business will be wherever our travels take us!
At this time, here are our wants:
1. We want our logo to be a cupcake with wings on either side of it. Ideally, we'd like those wings to be similar to those on our 1968 Shasta travel trailer. (You can google this to get a better idea of what they look like.)
2. Chocolate brown cupcake liner with swirl shaped icing. The icing needs to be a PMS color 331.
3. Please no cherries or sprinkles.
For now, we intend to use this design on tshirts, stickers, and perhaps koozies. We envision this logo on the breast pocket of a good white v-neck tshirt.
What we don't know is if we should include our name, Sisterbelles, on the winged cupcake. We might simply put the cupcake on the front of the shirt and our name and tag line (tag line is "...on a wing and a prayer" on the back. That could be 99Design project number two. But if you want your design to include our name with the cupcake, GO AHEAD!!!! We're excited about any and all designs heading our way!!!

For an installation of an operating system to be successful, packages must recognize and correctly respect alternate root (/) file systems, such as a Solaris Live Upgrade inactive boot environment.
Packages can include absolute paths in their pkgmap file (package map). If these files exist, they are written relative to the -R option of the pkgadd command. Packages that contain both absolute and relative (relocatable) paths can be installed to an alternative root (/) file system as well. $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT is prepended to both absolute and relocatable files so all paths are resolved properly when being installed by pkgadd.
