Import Review:
So over the top, Al Pacino would be proud.
Two-dimensional fighters, shoot-?em-ups, and point-and-click adventure games all share an unfortunate attribute. They're dying. In Japan they still enjoy a degree of popularity, but not so overseas. However, the adventure genre seems to have been given the kiss of life on the DS, with games like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. There have been three reprints of the game since its 2005 release. Who would have thought a game in which you play as a lawyer could garner such demand? Then again, Katamari Damacy was about rolling stuff up into a ball. Due to the game's success, Capcom decided to release this sequel, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney ? Justice for All. It's a region free port of the GBA version that allows switching the language from Japanese to English. Christmas has come early for you importers out there.
In the near future the justice system has been revamped. Trials can take up to only three days and defendants appear to be considered guilty before proven innocent. Like many courtroom dramas of the media, there are surprise witnesses, evidence, turnabouts, and?ghosts? Welcome to the world of Phoenix Wright.
Series' newcomers are not going to be thrown immediately to the wolves in the first case. As Phoenix Wright, the ever-extraordinary defense attorney, you receive a fire extinguisher to the back of the head by a dapper, and clearly wicked, stranger. Phoenix wakes up and doesn't remember a thing. Unfortunately for Phoenix this happens moments before the trial for a police officer accused of murdering a fellow badge. Talk about terrible luck. I mean, for Phoenix. You, on the other hand, will be given a crash course of how to play the game. It's a beneficial introduction and I can only wonder what other plot devices they'll end up using for the beginning of later games.
Since Justice for All is basically a series of mysteries to be solved, I'll refrain from delving too much into the cases. As stated previously, Case One is about an officer's murder. Case Two is a sort of obligatory ?locked-room mystery? with a supernatural twist. Case Three brings Phoenix to the circus, where the ring master appears to have been murdered by the star magician. In Case Four the actor Matt Engarde, also known as the Nickel Samurai, is arrested for the murder of his rival, Juan Corrida, the Jammin' Ninja (Case Three of Ace Attorney anyone?), with stakes raised by kidnappings and assassins. Yes, there are only four cases, compared to Ace Attorney's five. There is no extra case with real use of the touch screen here. Disappointing, but I suppose we should be grateful the series is actually being localized.
In Justice for All the main cast of Ace Attorney returns (like Maya and Dick Gumshoe), as do a few of the minor ones (Winston Payne, Wendy Oldbag). Making their first appearances (aside from characters in individual cases) are Pearl Fey and Franziska von Karma. Pearl is the eight-year-old cousin of Maya who has the ability to channel spirits and packs an active imagination to boot. Franziska von Karma? If you can recall back to Ace Attorney, there was a certain prosecutor who had the same surname. Prepare to meet his fiery-tempered daughter. She followed in her father's footsteps at age thirteen and spent five years in Germany with a perfect prosecution record. It seems Franziska arrived from abroad with a grudge against a certain defense attorney?
It's pretty obvious by now that the Phoenix Wright series isn't exactly realistic. A lawyer who does more investigation than the police? Abusive, whip-cracking prosecutors? With that said, adventure games live and die by their plot and characters, so be glad to hear that Justice for All is as excellent as ever with its frantic situations. I think the pacing is even better in this one than the original, as time is divided up between investigations and the courtroom more effectively. However, in terms of actual plot content, Justice for All feels less gripping. That is not to say that it's wishy-washy; it's just not as intriguing as the first. This is probably because the cases in Ace Attorney were more personal. The main storyline involves the absence of prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, foil to Phoenix, and the very reason he became a defense attorney. However this story does not come to the forefront until Case Four. Replacing him as the primary adversary is Franziska. She doesn't compare to Edgeworth as a rival nor is she as insidious as Manfred von Karma. Still, Franziska is wonderfully hostile with her tendency to harass anyone with her whip. It's really a good thing the cast has such gusto, because the actual mysteries aren't anything to get too excited about. Again, you must give kudos to the translation team. Sure, there are spelling errors and awkward lines, but the rest of the material makes up for it. Purists may be annoyed by some liberties taken with the original script, but I personally didn't mind. Hey, any game that tosses in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Legend of Zelda references is A-OK in my book. A well-written script goes a long way for me.
That's that for story. Now here's the tough part: the gameplay. After all, you're doing more reading than anything else. The game is separated into two parts: investigation and the courtroom. The investigation process is pretty self-explanatory. You'll wander from area to area, searching for clues that will help you in the upcoming trial. Sometimes you'll see clues, sometimes people will give them to you. This is usually the slower segment, which is then put into overdrive once you hit the court. In the courtroom, witnesses are called to the stand, often against the defendant, and you'll have to pick apart their testimonies by looking for contradictions and presenting evidence to back up your claims. The prosecution then counters your argument, you'll rebut, and so on. It's so excessive it's a delight to see?and it's also close to the same experience in Ace Attorney.
While the fundamentals haven't changed, there are tweaks and small additions. One of the biggest is the use of a ?health bar' of sorts. Penalties now cause varying amounts of damage, meaning there are moments when the entire game can end based on a single piece of evidence. Your health also carries over from trial to investigation, so try not to raise the judge's ire. You can refill it through breaking ?Psyche-locks,? literal locks on the mind of whomever you're talking to. Through a jewel called a Magatama, you'll be able to see these locks and use evidence to wrestle out the truth. Added to the evidence are profiles for characters associated with the respective case. In other words, you've got practically double the amount of evidence on your hands. Kills the guessing game, doesn't it?
All in all, the tweaks do not detract from the game, but they don't enhance by a lot either. The health bar is a good move on the Capcom's part, since Ace Attorney allowed for the player to make mistakes without lasting effect. However, having it refilled by the Psyche-locks is strange, since they need to be broken in order for progress. The clunky interface is more bothersome. The rate the words appear on screen is just too slow and there is no option to make them go faster. Getting around in the investigation scenes is also a bit of a headache due to the fact that the only way for you to reach a certain area is by going through another area. In some parts this makes sense but other times it is illogical. You're telling me the only way to reach the detention center is by first going through Phoenix's office? I understand that this is needed in order to guide the player to certain events but I wish it were done in a less-aggravating fashion.
This brings me to my next point: Justice for All is, like most adventure games, is exceedingly linear. Even if you've figured out the case and want to shove the exonerating evidence Franziska's smirking face, you cannot. Everything needs to be dealt with at the right time. You could be running around during an investigation for hours, unable to progress in the game simply because you didn't present some item to a character. This also means once you've beaten the game, there is no reason to play again unless you want to relive the story. If you have played adventure games, then you know this all too well.
Justice for All has a great production. For a courtroom drama, it's highly animated and colorful. No dourness here; it's all about the Lolita animal tamers and ample-bosomed spirits-of-former-mentors. Never will I tire of seeing testimony scenes with the defense attorney facing down the prosecutor, complete with anime speed lines. Sadly, all the recurring characters don't seem to have any new animations from the original. I'm not sick of Phoenix's ?urk? face yet, but maybe someone out there is. It should be kept in mind that since Justice for All is a touch-enhanced GBA port, that it was not designed to take full advantage of the DS hardware. Still, the graphics and audio are more polished. The music during investigations is vanilla but it rocks in the court and intense circumstances. Likewise the voices are awesome. I know, there are only a couple of sound bites, but they're so compelling I have to mention them. ?OBJECTION!? ?HOLD IT!? You can even use the DS mic to yell it out yourself.
Bottom Line
I loved playing Justice for All, but will not be picking it up again for a while. It provided 15-20 hours of enthrallment; and then the ride ended. Ah, such is the curse of the adventure game. This judge/jury finds the defendant Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney ? Justice for All guilty on charges of entertaining the fan-base, but not for gaining new fans. In a nutshell, it's a satisfactory entry into the Phoenix Wright series without much deviation from the original. And so I bring down the gavel.

Re: "State owes $7 billion in benefits" (TNT, 6-20).
The cost for these retiree health care benefits is not prefunded as pensions are but apparently are funded as part of the general fund budget each year. A atate official says these are not an obligation and will not be required if the general fund budget is to a point where they can't be afforded.
At the special sessions for budget finalization we were bombarded about the necessary "dramatic," even "draconian" cuts, "children will starve, health care will be cut off for many" and on and on.
If these subsidies are required by contract they should be paid. If not, why are taxpayers forced to fund bonuses for a benefit when those who have worked years in the private sector must fully pay for their own health care premiums?
Is this an obligation or not? Why not give the taxpayers a much-needed break?

This shouldn't go in the guidelines as a permamnent requirement.

Book One: The War with the Mein
After King Leodan Akaran is assassinated and the peaceful realm of Acacia vanquished by the Mein, a brutal race exiled long ago to the frozen wastelands of the North, the royal family—two princes and two princesses—scatter to the four corners of the Known World. Living in secrecy, hunted and alone, Aliver, Dariel, Corinn, and Mena begin to see firsthand the legacy left to them by 22 generations of Akaran rule: a people rendered weak and complacent by drug addiction while their children are sold into slavery to finance the drug trade. Will the royal heirs be able to reclaim the throne and save Acacia?
Doubleday. 576 pages. $26.95. ISBN: 0385506066
Washington Post
"From the first pages of Acacia, Durham, a respected historical novelist, demonstrates that he is a master of the fantasy epic. … Durham sacrifices nothing—not psychological acuity, not political complexity, not lyrical phrases—as he drives the plot of this gripping book forward." Rachel Hartigan Shea
Entertainment Weekly
"There are no magical moral compass points like evil witch queens or Christ-like lions, just a host of deliciously self-interested parties jostling for power and resources. … Durham's new world—like our old one—is crawling with wickedly fascinating scumbags." Neil Drumming
Revolution SF
"David Anthony Durham has pulled off something remarkable: a huge, sprawling epic that manages to weave together history, politics, intrigue and thunderous action scenes without ever losing track of the multitudes of finely-drawn characters. … The truly amazing thing is that this wealth of detail is all germane to the main action of the story, and that, with a few exceptions, the story doesn't grind to a halt while we're getting the background info." Peggy Hailey
Science Fiction & Fantasy News
"While I did have a couple of minor problems over the course of the novel, particularly the info dumps and sense that the set-up could have been more seamless, I think Durham has crafted both an entertaining and engaging novel with Acacia Book One: War with the Mein. This novel clearly sets up a greater story, and while a novel with a distinct ending, little doubt is left that the greater story remains untold." Rob H. Bedford
USA Today
"First installments of a trilogy are inevitably inconclusive to an irritating degree, and Durham's writing is more serviceable than sparkling. But there are enough ably woven plot threads and social cross-currents here to stimulate readers' interest and anticipation for the sequels." Ken Barnes
Critical Summary
David Anthony Durham, the author of three historical novels, envisions a fascinating, fully developed world in Acacia. He delves into great detail—explaining religious beliefs, political philosophies, even courting rituals—to draw the reader into his creation. Critics acknowledge the necessity of these "info dumps" (Science Fiction and Fantasy News) as setups for future volumes of the saga, while maintaining that the frequent descriptions did not detract from the absorbing, fast-paced plot. Readers won't find any wizards or dragons in Acacia; it is narrated in the alternating voices of genuine, convincing characters that blur the lines between good and evil. Packed with suspense, intrigue, and adventure, most readers will devour this first Acacia installment and impatiently await the next.
Also by the Author
Pride of Carthage (2005): Selection May/June 2005. Starting with Hannibal's brutal victory over the Roman city of Saguntum, Durham explores Hannibal and his vast North African army's treacherous odyssey toward Rome through the experiences of a foot soldier named Imco Vava.

Look For The Best Substance Abuse Treatment Centers In Great Cacapon WV 25422
Let go of the past. What's done is done. You cannot turn back time. Hindsight may be twenty-twenty. Utilize what took place in the past and gain from it. Everyone makes errors. Remember this to assist you avoid making the exact same mistakes again.
Motivational Interviewing
It's not actually about the drugs. Sure, drugs are the love of their life and it takes their cash, household, health, freedom and so on, however individuals utilize drugs for a factor. These factors are frequently associated to psychological health concerns and an inability to manage the tensions of life. This is where the therapy can be found in. I have often heard Licensed Expert Counselors and social employees say that they don't desire to work with drug abuser, however I guarantee that whether you work in mental health household, therapy and marital relationship counseling, school substance abuse counseling or any other counseling, that you will have customers with substance abuse concerns.
I have actually been working in the field of community psychological health for nine years. Begun in West Virginia operating at a CSU (Crisis Stabilization Unit), where I consoled approximately 10 people struggling with psychotic responses, in a home setting, on the night shift, all while manning a suicide hotline, and cooking them breakfast before my shift ended.
A woman from Chicago took a plea offer that will send her to a mental health and substance abuse treatment program after having actually been arrested 396 times. My Fox Chicago reported on June 11, 2013, that she was regretful and gracious to the Cook County judge on Monday, June 10, 2013, as she took the plea offer.
Prop T is an ordinance that would amend the City's Administrative Code. However, technically, the City Charter manages the budget process. So, unless you change the Charter, there is no requirement that the cash mandated by Prop T will be offered. Remember however, that we have other funding requirements produced simply by regulations (the Firehouse Act and Care Not Money) that, while not legally binding, always get moneyed due to the fact that no on wants to be the jerk who chooses not to fund a publicly backed initiative. So, that's a long method of stating: since it's not a Charter amendment, it's not set in stone like a Charter set-aside, however if endorsed by the voters, it will likely efficiently be a set-aside.
Great Cacapon West Virginia 25422 Substance Abuse Treatment Centers: What Is Drug Abuse?
Can they differentiate themselves from exactly what others do? I can inform moms and dads frankly that they can discover counselors who will anticipate less of them and their kid. For instance, they can discover a shorter treatment strategy, they may not need to go to family sessions and another therapist may not anticipate their teen to go to AA meetings.
Can alcohol or drugs adversely impact the body? Definitely. Are some people more susceptible to abuse alcohol or drugs than others? Yes. Just as some people drink too much coffee, workout too much or consume too much. Nearly anything taken or done in excess can cause adverse reactions in the body and there are numerous things people perform in excess.
And here we are now simply weeks after her fourth rehab stint and Lindsay has when again failed several drug tests and is in infraction of her parole. Numerous reports have actually come out that show her partying methods. She has actually shown over and over once again that she can not be trusted. Send Lindsay Lohan back to prison and make her take responsibility for her actions.

The market for precious gems has weakened over 2012 but they are beginning to stabilize in recent weeks, reflecting the improvements in the global economy. While exchange traded fund investors can't directly invest in a precious gems through ETFs, there is a relatively new diamonds and gemstone miners ETF to watch.
The PureFunds ISE Diamond/Gemstone ETF (GEMS) has gained 6.2% over the past month, compared to the 3.3% rise in the S&P 500. [A New ETF for Diamonds and Gems]
Diamond prices have been declining over 2012 as slower growth forced consumer to cut back on discretionary spending.
"The story behind these declines will be familiar to those who watch the global economy: slow growth in the U.S. was more than offset by declines in Europe and the emerging markets (especially China)," Nicholas Colas, ConvergEx Group chief market strategist, said in a recent research note. "The good news is that pricing has in fact stabilized in recent weeks, and overall price levels are – like equities – above their 2008 level."
While the U.S. and Europe remain the dominate markets for diamonds, Colas noted that emerging markets, like China and India, are adopting western traditions, like gifting diamond engagement rings.
However, demand for diamonds remains shaky, especially with Europe and Chinese demand weaker than expected at the start of the year. Meanwhile, U.S. demand, which accounts for half of the global market, did hold up.
"Since diamonds and gold share many basic characteristics, it is tempting to lump them together into a 'precious metals/materials' bucket along with silver," Colas added.
Basic price fundamentals and its "hard" asset status both contribute to the argument. However, diamonds experience a wider bid/ask spread due to its categorization into the "four Cs" – color, carat, cut and clarity.
Due to their wide variations, the ETF industry has also struggled to provide a uniform physically backed diamond ETF. Although, there are some providers, like GemShares and IndexIQ , that have shown interest in a physical diamond ETF offering. [Diamond ETFs in the Works — Will Investors Bite?]

Security: Encrypting your ZIP file in the cloud provides an additional layer of defense in case your account is compromised. So even if data thieves snatch your files, they can't access them.
Classic view hides new features: The classic interface is a welcome feature for veteran users but is not designed with the new features in mind. Performing basic tasks, such as transferring files between cloud services, is a chore, making you dig through menus and tabs. Stick to the new UI unless you're really attached to the classic look.
Bottom Line
WinZip 19 demonstrates how the prominent utility has moved beyond compression and unzipping. There's plenty to like about the latest WinZip: the uncomplicated interface, the ability to bridge different cloud services, and file encryption. If you're looking to manage all your cloud storage from a single interface, the new WinZip 19 is an excellent choice.

E3 2003: NHL 2K4 Hands-on Impressions
For me, hockey games have always been one of those weird addictions, unlike basketball, football games or any other sports-sim. When I stopped at the NHL 2K4 kiosk at Sega's booth, I waited about a minute for my turn and then picked up the controller. I chose the New York Rangers (I was feeling pretty home sick at the time) and took on the Ottawa Senators. Each period lasted five minutes and the difficulty was set to the highest. In the first period I scored the first goal and from there on I continued my incredible defense to prevent the Senators from getting anywhere near my goalie. It was late into the 3rd period, I was feeling relieved (cocky, if you will), when out of nowhere the Senators scored. I still had about a minute to convert the tie into a win, but that didn't work. So the game went into overtime once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times...finally I just gave up. I had to have spent at least 45 minutes at the kiosk, swearing, grunting, moaning and shaking my fist at the screen. There was even a crowd of on lookers behind me. NHL 2K4 hit me hard, but the pain was sensational.
  NHL 2K4 played like no other hockey title the show had to offer. EA's NHL game paled in comparison. NHL 2K4 played incredibly well. Looked downright beautiful. And featured some of the best A.I. in a sports game to date. There wasn't a single hint of slowdown and the commentary was always right on the dot. Sega has made much better use of their ESPN license as the game's presentation is far more impressive than any other hockey title. NHL 2K4 is scheduled for a late 2003 release, and by the looks of things, it'll easily end up being the year's best hockey title.

Lastras in luck at Vuelta
Pablo Lastras claimed an impressive solo victory on stage three of the Vuelta a Espana to move into the race lead.
Last Updated: 25/08/11 10:42am
Pablo Lastras put in a brave attack to take an impressive solo victory on stage three of the Vuelta a Espana to move into the race lead.
The Movistar rider worked hard as part of the day's five-man break before attacking over the summit of the final climb, time trialling the final 12.4 kilometres into Totana.
Syvlain Chavanel (Quick Step) took the sprint for second from the remaining escapees after in-fighting saw their chances of closing down the Spaniard fall flat.
A depleted bunch crossed the line one minute and 43 seconds back after a tougher than expected third stage, with two third category climbs in the closing stages proving to be more selective than expected.
Nicolas Roche (Ag2r) won the sprint for fifth in a group that contained a number of overall contenders after another sweltering day in the saddle.
His first victory at the Vuelta since 2002 saw veteran Lastras move into a 20-second lead at the top of the standings from Chavanel who was left to rue a lack of cooperation from his counterparts.
Surprise outcome
Five men slipped away after 11km with Markel Irizar (RadioShack), Lastras, Nicolas Edet (Cofidis), Chavanel and Ruslan Pygornyy (Lampre) quickly building up an advantage.
The peloton appeared fairly nonplussed by the threat of the quintet who were allowed to build up an advantage of close to eight minutes.
Leopard Trek finally committed to their duties on the front of the bunch on behalf of overnight leader Daniele Bennati as the race moved toward the penultimate climb in an effort that saw Mark Cavendish (HTC-Highroad) distanced.
Despite the efforts of the Luxembourg squad on the climb the break held firm and with no teams willing to help in the chase, it appeared the break would be allowed to go clear to the finish, crossing the line for the first time in Totana with a gap of 3:46.
It was Team Sky who then took up the chase, keeping team leader Bradley Wiggins out of trouble on the run to the final climb.
Lastras was the first man to blink and attacked over the top of the Alto de la Santa, taking the points and plunging down onto the descent.
Back in the bunch the overall contenders began to show themselves on the ascent as the peloton blew to pieces behind, cresting the summit in small groups, one of which included a distanced red jersey holder Bennati.
As the terrain flattened out Lastras fought it out with his three chasing rivals who self-destructed, the Spaniard holding firm to take an emotional win that also saw him claim the points and mountain classification jerseys..

LUFKIN, Texas – Houston-based Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast has paid $4.3 million to resolve civil allegations under the False Claims Act in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales.
The government alleges that between 2003 and 2009, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast billed and was paid by government programs, Texas Medicaid, Title XX, and the Women's Health Program, for certain items and services related to birth control counseling, STD testing and contraceptives when such items and services were either not medically necessary, not medically indicated or not actually provided. Title XX is funded by the federal government while Texas Medicaid and the Women's Health Program are funded jointly by the federal government and the State of Texas.
Of the $4.3 million settlement, the federal government will receive $3,594,604 and the State of Texas will receive $705,396. The settlement resolves a False Claims Act lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Texas by Karen Reynolds, a former employee of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. The whistleblower or qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act permit the relator to obtain a portion of the proceeds obtained by the government. As part of today's resolution, Reynolds will receive $1,247,000.
"We are very pleased to settle this matter for an amount of money that addresses what was, in the Government's view, an abuse of programs that are extremely important to the well-being of many American women," said U.S. Attorney Bales. "We will remain ever vigilant to protect the interests of American taxpayers and the integrity of the Medicare and Medicaid health programs. I am particularly grateful to the whistleblower for bringing the matter to our attention."
The claims settled by this agreement are allegations only; there has been no determination of liability.
This case was investigated by the Texas Attorney General's Civil Medicaid Fraud Division and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McClendon.

With technology on the rise in this day and age, there's no doubt that we are truly living in "the future". Computers are becoming smarter, cars are becoming higher-functioning, phones are becoming more advanced, and everything in between. The newest breakthrough in computer learning and Search Engine Technology is the artificial intelligence system known as RankBrain.
What is RankBrain? It is a computer system used to improve online search engines through a ranking process based on dozens of factors. It is self-taught, a form of artificial intelligence. RankBrain is promising to provide users of search engines with more accurate search results, better content, and even the ability to find the answers you want without entering the specific website.
How does it all work? The first step is to understand SEO machine learning. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. When a search engine can learn and grow more accurate within itself – it greatly aids in the optimization of the search engine. The machine becomes self-taught and can even go through "practice rounds" offline so as to learn how to produce search results that are more accurate and meet the users' needs. If a user is looking for generic facial tissues, but types in the brand name of Kleenex instead, a machine-learning Search Engine will provide both links to the brand name as well as other facial tissue products. Or if a user is looking for the shoe brand Rainbows and not the scientific phenomenon that happens after rainfall, SEO machine learning will allow the search engine to understand the difference and better meet the user's need.
RankBrain fits in because it serves to streamline this process. RankBrain involves machine learning, using its own algorithm and ranks to produce search results, get feedback, and learn how to better search in the future. RankBrain uses detailed programming to understand its ranking process and it also can receive critique in order to create better searches. It is self-taught however, gaining knowledge through each search it completes. RankBrain seeks to identify pages with accurate, relevant, clear, saturated information and present those to the user first. This eliminates the need for the user to search through pages and pages of Internet content to find "what they really wanted".
The second step in understanding the RankBrain model is to look at the factors which are involved in the page ranking process. What does RankBrain search for? There exists an entire Periodic Table of SEO Success Factors that anyone can access. These factors include, but are not limited to: quality, word match, page security, location, reputation, research, spam, and mobility. Web pages that are relevant and can pass through these qualifying steps will be presented to the search engine user first. Each web page is awarded points based on these factors. If a page, for example, can be viewed on a desktop and on a phone, it is awarded points for mobility. If a page leads to a lot of spam or advertisements, it may be rewarded less. This is all for the use of the person using the search engine so they may get relevant information time and time again, no matter what search.
The last step to understanding RankBrain is to understand the knowledge graph it uses to optimize searches. What is Knowledge Graph? The knowledge graph is a box that appears at the top of the list of websites provided after a search that includes a snippet of relevant information from the top page that the user may read without ever having to click on any of the websites. This is to further streamline the search process, giving users a quick definition, recipe, or instruction set (for example) without them having to click on a website page and dig through information. The Knowledge Graph provides information in short, often bullet-point lists for clarity. If there is subsequent information that can't be provided in the graph but should be noted, the graph will tell the user that there are "3 more items" – or whatever the case may be – that they should click the link for.
RankBrain provides the knowledge graph as a way to give users a quicker and more simplified answer, further narrowing down the content through the qualifying elements, and learning faster what the specific user is interested in. The Knowledge Graph doesn't seek to take users away from relevant websites, but instead works to alert users to websites they didn't know were available to them. It's more of a test to see if the website listed first indeed has what they are looking for, or if they should narrow their search results.
So, why does RankBrain serve as a breakthrough system for SEO? It has quickly become one of the top most important ranking factors for its main user: Google. Recently, an article was released by Google, placing RankBrain in the top three most important search engine "signals". The RankBrain system is allowing search engines to learn more quickly and provide better answers to its users through every single search. This table of factors is completed in only microseconds of time, giving each search thoroughly researched results every time. And as RankBrain becomes smarter and more precise, it will only keep improving!
RankBrain is a breakthrough in SEO technology and is changing the way people can use search engines. It is an incredible algorithm committed to learning and adapting to the user's style. RankBrain puts SEO technology in a spot to continuously grow and work better for the users.

Great article David. There is so many people speculating how RankBrain will completely replace humans, being able to function and improve on its own. Do you think that this technology will be able to meet people's demands or will Google have to introduce another, more improved system?

No, he's not dead. Stop panicking. Here's how I learned the news:
ERIK HENRIKSEN: Steve… I have horrible news.
STEVE: Like "bullshit horrible" or actually "horrible horrible"?
ERIK: "Horrible horrible."
STEVE: Ughhh. Okay. Hit me. But this better be good.
ERIK: Ryan Reynolds beat out Justin Timberlake for the role of Green Lantern.
STEVE: (Pause.) WHAT… THE… FUCK?!? I fucking hate that fucking fuck Ryan Reynolds!! This is fucking lunacy! What? Is fucking Sandra Fucking Bullock going to play Carol Ferris?? This is the worst fucking news I've ever heard!! Are they fucking INSANE??? Timberlake would have played the shit out of that part! And now I've got to look at Reynold's stupid fucking fat fucking smug fucking face for two hours. HORSE… SHIT!!! GODDAMN IT, ERIK!! You fucking ruined my fucking day, you idiot piece of shit! GET OUT!! (Throws Star Trek collectible glass at Erik's head.)
ERIK: But I didn't…
STEVE: I SAID… OUT!!! (Pulls out gun tucked in top drawer of desk.)
[Erik exits in terror. Steve spends the next two minutes trashing his office, as the Mercury office manager quickly and quietly evacuates the employees from the building. Eventually, after exhausting himself, Steve begins sobbing uncontrollably, and puts the gun to his temple. Then slowly… lets it drop to the floor, as he collapses into his seat, staring vacantly into the distance.]
STEVE: What could have been… what could have been…
UPDATE! Natalie Portman has been tapped to join the cast of Kenneth Branagh's THOR. Death… we shall not dance today.

The list of presents the Royals have been given on official engagements last year has been revealed, and well-wishers have been really spoiling Prince George and Princess Charlotte!
Even though the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge weren't incolved in as many engagements this year because of Princess Charlotte's arrival, William still managed an official visit to Japan and China, where some well-wishers made sure to give him some presents for him and his adorable family.
There, William accepted presents on behalf of the little Prince from a total of 11 people, which included a pair of pyjamas, six DVDs, two toy telephones and a painting of a Samurai helmet.
Well-wishers love to spoil the little Prince, who started nursery this month
Although the young royal was the one getting the most presents in this visit after his dad, someone also remembered Kate and gave her husband two cashmere wraps for her. Not bad, Kate!
Their grandfather also brought them a few goodies from his trips to New Zealand and Australia, including a pair of booties, an organic wool hat, a vest and blanket for Princess Charlotte, and a woollen tank top for Prince George.
Camilla and Charles also accepted gifts on behalf of George and Charlotte on their visit to the Republic of Ireland in May last year, where well-wishers gave them two giant lollipops, a ceramic money box for each of Kate and Wills' kids, and a wooden rattle for the baby princess.
Princess Charlotte also received a few presents from well-wishers around the world
But of course the children weren't the only ones receiving gifts. The Prince of Wales got the most unusual - and also potentially the cutest - gift of all; a packet of fairy dust in New Zealand. Prince Harry, who has been on a few official engagements in the past year, was also given a few gifts by officials and members of the public.
In Lesotho, where the Prince opened a centre in memory of his mother, Princess Diana, Harry received three drawings from young people at the Ottery Youth Detention Centre. The proud uncle also took home a pair of baby bootees for his adorable niece, and two children's rugby shirts - one for George and one for Charlotte.
HRH saw how the dedicated team at Ottery Youth Centre work tirelessly to rehabilitate troubled youths #RoyalVisitSA pic.twitter.com/wqzUUDQkWZ— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) November 30, 2015
According to official protocol, gifts can be worn and used by the royals but are not considered their personal property, and therefore they do not pay tax on them.
Food and any other perishable official gifts they are given can be eaten, or given to charity or staff if it's worth less than £150.
Continued below...
The rules, tightened in 2003 following an enquiry, also dictate that gifts cannot be sold or exchanged, and eventually become part of the Royal Collection.

Thirteen Ways
In this book, Robert Harbison offers a novel interpretation of what architectural theory might look like. The title is an echo of Wallace Stevens's "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." Like the poem, Harbison's work is a composite structure built of oblique meanings and astonishing shifts that add up to an engaging portrait--in this case a portrait of architecture in which use, symbol, and metaphor coexist.The chapter titles indicate Harbison's themes, all of which bear parallel, implied, or tangential relations to architecture: Sculpture, Machines, the Body, Landscape, Models, Ideas, Politics, the Sacred, Subjectivity, and Memory. The journey through the chapters is roughly a journey from the physical to the metaphysical, a journey that is at once poetic, technical, and philosophical. Harbison examines his subjects with as few preconceptions as possible, taking familiar concepts and stripping away all associations until they become strange, producing ideas that are refreshing and new for architecture. The book straddles the ground between the intellect and the senses, leading the reader beyond the realm of theory and practice into the universe of the imagination, where "space" is experienced as something touched, seen, and thought.
About the Author
Robert Harbison has lectured widely on architecture at the Museum of Modem Art in New York, the University of Toronto, Stanford University, Cornell University, and the Architectural Association, London. His previous books include Eccentric Spaces, Deliberate Regression, and Pharaoh's Dream.

MVC Men's Volleyball Falls to Park in Tournament Finals SaturdayPosted March 29, 2014
Marshall, Mo. (March 29, 2014)- The No. 9 Missouri Valley College men's volleyball team played No. 3 Park University in the NAIA South Tournament finals Saturday at the Burns Athletic Complex with an automatic berth into the NAIA Men's Volleyball National Invitational on the line. The Vikings fell to the Pirates by a 16-25, 23-25, 18-25 match.
The Vikings were able to get some early success against Park to open the first game. MVC grabbed an early 3-1 lead thanks to an attack error by the Pirates. MVC held onto the lead at 6-5 when Junior Middle Blocker Zach Bumstead (St. Peters, Mo.) finished with one of his three kills in the match, but Park was able to take its first lead of the game soon after. MVC fell behind by a 10-7 score, but won five of the next six points to hold a 12-11 lead after Senior Middle Blocker Jacob Haar (La Mesa, Calif.) finished the rally off with a kill. Park responded with its best run of play to that point, winning six of the next seven points to jump ahead 17-13. MVC closed back to within an 18-15 deficit late in the game, but the Pirates finished things by winning seven of the final eight points to come out with a 25-16 win in game one.
Game two started with Park holding an early lead, putting MVC into a 4-1 deficit. MVC fought its way back, and eventually took an 8-6 lead when Park suffered an attack error. MVC maintained a lead over the Pirates until Park tied things up at 10-10. Park was then able to win four of the next five points to jump ahead 14-11, but the Vikings fought back again, winning five of the next six points to jump ahead 16-15 when Junior Outside Hitter Zach Brown (Plainfield, Ill.) finished a rally off with a kill. The two teams played even from that point, with the game tied at 20-20. From there, Park won five of the final eight points in the game, and won 25-23 to go up 2-0 over the Vikings.
Park started game three by taking another early lead, this time by a 6-3 score. MVC battled back to an 8-6 deficit when Freshman Outside Hitter Brandstetter (Muehldorf, Germany) finished a rally with one of his two kills. Park followed that up with a small run, winning three of the next four points to pull ahead 11-7, and after MVC cut the Park lead to just two at 12-10 after an ace by Haar, Park quickly extended its lead to 16-11. MVC got back to within a four-point deficit multiple times from that point, the latest at 19-15 following a Haar kill, but Park finished the game by taking six of the final nine points to beat MVC 25-18 in the game, and sweep the match.
Leading the way for MVC were Haar and Brown who each finished with seven kills. Brown ended the game with a .429 hitting percentage. Freshman Libero Ding Hui (Zhejiang, China) had eight digs for MVC while Senior Setter Will McCracken (Goleta, Calif.) had 24 assists and five digs.
The loss finished the MVC season with a 23-11 record. The 23 wins are a program record for most in a season. Park improves to 25-4 and will play in the NAIA Men's Volleyball National Apr. 10-12 in Denver, Colo.

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Foundation seeks to create a safer Palm Beach Gardens by funding the vital equipment, technology and training needs of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department as well as related community outreach, crime-prevention and youth programs. With a tight city budget and rising community needs, this is more difficult – and more important – than ever.
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Foundation raises funds, administers grants, and promotes awareness of public safety issues. The Foundation exists to create a safer Palm Beach Gardens community.
Founded in 2007 as an independent non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization we are dedicated to fostering public safety through community.
While the City budget provides the necessary resources to fund the basic operations of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, a number of programs are often underfunded or not funded due to a lack of resources. The foundation was created as a catalyst in responding to this need, so that no innovative program would be left behind.

text: The goals of this proposal are to: 0) Define a machine-independent mechanism for handling soft interrupts. 1) Generalize soft interrupts so that they can be used *any* time a low-priority callback is needed. 2) Allow dynamic registration of soft interrupts, for loadable drivers and protocol stacks. 3) Allow prioritization and fair queueing of soft interrupts. 4) Keep the run-time cost minimal while still meeting the above goals. 5) Permit, where applicable, handling soft interrupts via the same mechanism as hard interrupts, to reduce code complexity. Parts of the proposed interface are similar to the hard interrupt registration interface used on ISA, EISA, PCI, and TC busses in several ports. This is not accidental. A few new constants are defined: IPL_SOFTCLOCK soft IPL for softclock() IPL_SOFTNET soft IPL for network callbacks IPL_SOFTSERIAL soft IPL for serial driver callbacks Other constants of the form `IPL_SOFT*' are reserved. Three new functions are defined: void *softintr_establish(int level, int (*fun) __P((void *)), void *arg); Registers a soft interrupt at level `level', which will call fun(arg). softintr_establish() returns an opaque cookie which must be used as an argument to softintr_disestablish() or softintr_register(). It may allocate a machine-specific data structure. void softintr_disestablish(cookie) Deallocates a soft interrupt previously allocated with softintr_establish(). void softintr_register(cookie) Registers a soft interrupt previously allocate with softintr_establish() to be executed as soon as it is unblocked. This function may assume that the interrupt is currently blocked, so it need not check to see if the interrupt needs to be executed immediately. The mechanism for calling the soft interrupt routines is left entirely to the machine-dependent implementation, so that it may be optimized in whatever fashion is appropriate. This specification is designed to make it possible for softintr_register() to be very simple. On the i386, for example, it will consist of one TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL() and an `or' into a global variable, and will be inlined. On some other systems, it's expected that it will be one TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL() and a frob to the PSL, using the CPU's built-in soft interrupt handling. It's true that this is more expensive than the current system, but I don't see it being a real performance issue, and it's considerably more general. The rationale for allowing softintr_register() to not execute the interrupt immediately is as follows: Soft interrupts are used as callbacks for hard interrupts. Since a soft interrupt is always registered from a hard interrupt routine, it is always blocked at the time it is registered. Therefore, softintr_register() will always be used when the interrupt is already blocked, and doesn't need to check this case. Comments?

NEW YORK (Jun. 18)
A contingency plan for massive Soviet Jewish immigration, funding for Reform and Conservative immigrants to Israel and proposed changes in the "Who is a Jew?" law will likely be discussed at the 1987 Jewish Agency Assembly June 21-25 in Jerusalem.
The 398 members of the Jewish Agency Assembly meet annually to review the coming year's budget — a proposed $427 million — and programs. This year, the Assembly will also elect a new Board of Governors.
The Jewish Agency's programming is largely devoted to social welfare, promoting Jewish immigration and resettlement of new immigrants. Yet, politics is rarely absent from the Assembly.
Tensions between the so-called Zionist factions, which align along Israeli party lines, and the American fund-raisers, who provide the bulk of the Agency's annual budget, have been labelled by some a crisis.
Some local Jewish Federations have shown a desire to exert more direct control over where their dollars are going and the programs themselves. In January, the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties decided to allocate $100,000 directly to charities in Israel not funded by the Jewish Agency, instead of to the United Jewish Appeal (UJA).
The federation made the allocation, a small percentage of its $8.5 million annual contribution to UJA, as a statement that its priorities were not being addressed within the Jewish Agency framework.
"The issue of the kind of partnership between Israel and the diaspora and the quality of that partnership will be raised," said Irving Kessler, executive vice-chairman of United Israel Appeal (UIA). The UIA is the organization created to channel the money raised by UJA in North America to the Jewish Agency. Half of the Agency Assembly is composed of UIA delegates representing Federations across America.
The other half comes from the Zionist parties represented in the World Zionist Organization (WZO). Kessler urged the Zionist contingent of the Agency to "deemphasize politics" and work for a common and united leadership.
Leon Dulzin, chairman of the WZO and the Jewish Agency, called Monday for the full union of the WZO and the Jewish Agency and general reform in the structure of both organizations.
Speaking to the Zionist General Council (ZGC, the leadership body of the WZO), Dulzin said such a union could eliminate much of the overlap in the two organizations' programs.
"Departments should be unified, the number of executives should be limited, the Zionist federations should be strengthened by means of having their leaders participate in the Board of Governors of the Jewish Agency," Dulzin said. "Functional departments should be set according to geographical zones."
Ephraim Even, chairman of the ZGC, warned against the trend of leading fund-raisers taking over the Jewish Agency. He recommended that the WZO maintain control over the Jewish Agency as well as aliyah and Jewish education programs in the diaspora.
But beyond the politics of leadership and control, specific programs and issues will come under scrutiny during the Assembly session, including the economic troubles of agricultural kibbutzim and moshavim, aliyah and absorption processes, and the controversy over funding for "non-Zionist" elements in Israel.
The ongoing debate over the "Who is a Jew?" question also is likely to be on the Assembly's agenda. Last month, Jerold Hoffberger of Baltimore, chairman of the Jewish Agency Board of Governors, sent a letter of consternation to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir following signs that Shamir was ready to bow to pressure from the religious parties to amend the "Who is a Jew?" provision of Israel's Law of Return.
The religious parties are seeking a change that would require Jews-by-choice to be converted "according to halacha (Jewish law)" in order to receive the automatic citizenship conferred upon all Jews under the Law of Return.
In the letter, Hoffberger advised Shamir that changing the status of "Who is a Jew?" would be potentially damaging to Israel's relationship with diaspora Jewry. Hoffberger also called on Shamir to consult with the leaders of the Jewish Agency before amending the law.
The controversy over "Who is a Jew" is one of several issues of religious pluralism on the Assembly's agenda this year. Last year, the Assembly passed a resolution providing for equitable funding for all streams of Judaism in Israel. This year, delegates will examine the steps taken during the past year to institute this resolution, which included an increase in funding to the Israeli programs of the American Reform and Conservative movements.
Last year, the Assembly also passed a resolution to cut off Jewish Agency funding for any non-Zionist institution or person in Israel. A progress report on this resolution and many others is expected this year.
But the bulk of Jewish Agency funds and programs is devoted to the aliyah and resettlement process. Under this category, the state of agricultural settlements, crisis in the moshavim and changing settlement patterns will be discussed.
Although aliyah from Iran, the Soviet Union and Ethiopia is rising slowly, many agree that the Jewish Agency must be prepared for a mass immigration and absorption of Jews from these countries. A plan for this, including a proposal for emergency funds, is in the works for the upcoming session.

Raiders Prepare for Training Camp
February 15, 2013 - Ultimate Indoor Football League (UIFL) - Lakeland Raiders News Release
Lakeland, FL- At the conclusion of the inaugural 2012 roller coaster season, the Raiders fell to the hands of the Florida Tarpons in the Conference Finals. "Definitely not the way we planned on ending the season and especially to our rivals" commented Coach Mink. The Raiders now have put that behind them and are focused on the 2013 season. The first step in the second season for the Raiders is Training Camp. Training camp for the Raiders begins this Saturday February 16th and will continue until the first game where the Raiders travel to Georgia to take on the Rampage.
The task for the 2013 season was to build a championship roster to bring a title back to Lakeland. The first position of improvement the Raiders went after was the acquisition of Bj Hall at quarterback. A highly sot out free agent by many arena and indoor teams, Bj believes in the system the Raiders have and worked one on one in the off season with General Manager Feddy Azofeifa which helped land him a workout with the Miami Dolphins along with Roderick Jefferson. "We are trying to bring in top level talent to our roster not only for a championship but to help players move into the NFL or CFL. The opportunities for these men is available and teams will take the time to look at film" commented Feddy. They also improved the quarterback play with the additions of Chris Hart, Michael Tanner, and Anthony Speight.
The second improvement came with the offensive line. "The key to a great quarterback is protecting him or there is no use for a quarterback with such caliber as Bj. He can't complete passes laying on the ground" commented Coach Mink. The Raiders added Larry Wriedt, Chris Rutledge and Maurice Mitchell. The addition of Chris Rutledge is the first Miami Hurricane player the Raiders have signed and Maurice Mitchell adds another former Florida Gator to the Roster as well. The Raiders also added some local players to boost the line such as Brendan Berry, Vernard West, Darius Ross and a few more that will be competing to make the final roster spot.
The team also added some speed in the backfield with the addition of Tyler Batts. Tyler brings a threat in the backfield running the ball as well as catching the ball. He will also have competition with returning rushing leader from 2012 Travis Anderson along with Anthony Gay II. The Raiders will also show some different looks with Kendrick Stewart and new addition Conor Reilly in the backfield as well.
The receiving core is like no other for 2013. Arguably where the most competition will be on the team, the Raiders bring in some highly talented receivers. The return of Josh Smith, Adrian Smith and Roderick Jefferson are familiar faces the fans have seen. DeAngelo Woodie will also be in the mix as he will also be playing on the defensive side of the ball. New additions such as DeAndrew Rubin, Tyrece Gaines, Jason Harmon, Dj Boldin, Arsenio Curry and Sergio Allen will be giving the returning players a battle for the top spots. Anthony Gay II will also be in the mix playing some receiver as well. "The talent and experience these men bring is outstanding. I truly think the small things these players do will be what separates them because they are all very talented" commented General Manager Feddy.
The Raiders also made some great moves on the defensive side of the ball. The secondary brings back DeAngelo Woodie, Maurice Harvey and Julius McClellan from 2012 but the addition of the new players will make the returners work that much harder. The secondary will be highly competitive as well with new Raiders such as Reggie Lewis, Vince Anderson, Damien Jackson, Bryan Houston, Rashad Ethridge, Koreen Burch, Kevin Williams and a few more as well will battle it out for that starting position. Some of these players have brought experience to the secondary from playing with such teams and schools such as the Florida Gators, Tampa Bay Storm, Buffalo Bills, Toronto Argonauts, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ole Miss, Western Kentucky, Carolina Panthers, Ball State and many more.
The front 5 of the Raiders also brings in some great names and great battles for the final roster. Raiders bring back Kendrick Stewart, Munir Muwwakkil, and Troy Johnson. The team did make great additions and competition for the front 5 such as Marcello Church, Sam Smith, Roger Sippio, Melvin Jenkins, Daudi Marshall, KC Tolson, Conor Reilly and some more that will fight hard to get those spots. "Our front 5 is important to us because it gets pressure on the Quarterback that can force interceptions and fumbles. Last year, we had some games with great pressure and others with not enough. We plan to bring pressure in every game this year" commented Coach Mink.
Finally the Raiders welcome two new players that will battle it out for the Kicker position. Carlos Ojeda and Yoshitaka Sakuri. These two bring accuracy and leg power to the Raiders that will pay off throughout the season. Carlos is very experienced and has been playing indoor/arena football for many years and just previously played for the Cleveland Gladiators. Yoshi comes from Japan where he kicked professionally in Japan and now is trying to make his mark with a spot on the Raiders roster.
"The team is full of talent. We have many players than can play on both sides of the ball as well as a ton of speed. We are in a championship or bust mindset because we have a roster talented enough in all positions to win a championship. We expect to win! Camp will be exciting" commented General Manager & Director of Player Personnel Feddy Azofeifa. "I am ready to start camp and it will be tough to cut this roster down. Feddy did a great job bringing in talent this year and I am eager to lead these men into battle to represent for Polk County and Central Florida. Its going to be tough to let some of these guys go but I know they are good enough to play on other teams as well. This year will be a great year and we plan on hosting the Championship in June" commented Coach & Owner Michael Mink. The Raiders open the season up on March 4th in Georgia and the home opener will be March 9th against the Sarasota Thunder. Tickets are on sale at the Lakeland Center box office and online.
The Lakeland Raiders 2013 season tickets are on sale. The Raiders are showing fan appreciation by buying the first 500 season ticket holders parking for the season and there are still some available.

The Raiders were formed by Michael Mink in honor of Michael's mother Dorothy Mink. With Robert Tannenbaum's business knowledge and experience operating successful companies, the combo look to the Lakeland community to help build the best indoor arena franchise in the country along with a championship team. The original Raiders also honored a group of warriors and sons from America. These Raiders completed their mission in real war and were the Marine Raiders of World War II. One Team. One Mission. The invasion continues in 2013!

text: Hi, I'm recently working on F12 web server and I got httpd_t execstack and execmem. Can I allow those ? The server I'm woking on right now is a test server which have copied all the contents from FC6 which I have move on permissive mode for half a year. I have not read a log at all on FC6 server. I'm trying to move all the contents that I have now on F12. I already succeeded another web server which has no script stuff so the problem may caused by the script which I have written for certain web-pages. The server I'm working I can't touch couple of days, but some script I wrote wants to do that, I guess. The script has a type httpd_sys_content_t still, so that may be a problem. Yes, it's in the documentroot of Apache. Maybe I should put the script outside of documentroot or label other than httpd stuff with local.pp. I could not have time to read that thouroughly, but I can report on Monday. I will report this matter till I get the right answer and I run the server right. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------- segatex--SELinux tool http://sourceforge.net/projects/segatex/

SRAM's GX component group lets you pick and choose your drivetrain from a ton of different options —1x or 2x, grip shift or trigger, GXP or BB30, or even with the new wider hub options — all within a perfectly compatible groupset designed to work in perfect harmony.
The GX 1000 is just like its big brother, the GX 1400, except that it's about 50 grams heavier and quite a bit less expensive. SRAM decided to build the 1000 series cranks without the Open Core technology of the 1400 series cranks to keep costs down. Of course, this adds weight, but it may be worth the compromise for the rider on a budget.
The SRAM GX 1x chainring uses X-SYNC technology. Each tooth's thickness is CNC machined to work seamlessly with the chain's inner and outer links to hold the chain in place in any terrain. With X-SYNC you never need a front derailleur, tensioner, or chain keeper to maintain perfect control over your chain.

Coffeehouse Post
Single Post Permalink
Well I have to agree with the sentiments. I'm trying 2012 more seriously the first time and there are some very subtle differences when writing and editing the code. They are so subtle I don't really notice them well enough to remember, I just get a feeling "this was slightly better/easier in 2008". The most noticeable and annoying difference is that 2012 is just very very slow when I press compile+run (f5) a c# console application. I'd say it's about 5-10 times slower than 2008.
My coding is essentially writing a line or two, f5, modify the line, f5 etc. So if pressing F5 to get the results of this iterative cycle takes much longer, that's easy to notice. I'm not saying that I do F5 so much that it really matters in time spent but when taking time from the moment you have made a change and then want to see the result, and only count that time, over the period of getting an app finished with this style, the comparative difference to VS2008 is massive.
In order to find the more subtle differences when editing, since I don't really remember every subtle difference, one would really need to capture the keystrokes and stuff while editing and compare them side by side on a video to 2008. I recall there were some annoying things in 2008 as well but now it's just more annoying rather than if the 2008 annoyances were improved.
Perhaps the most annoying code editing thing to me is when in C#, I make some edit and the editor doesn't make sure that the code is indented properly, so I feel as if great deal of editing time is spent shuffling code around with copy paste and TAB in order to get the editor to indent it properly, or just have to go and do select and format to get it formatted as otherwise.
eg. lets say I have a block like this
if (true)
if (true)
When the cursor is at *, it should *always* be correctly indented, and editor should not allow the cursor to go to the indent level of previous block or the left edge, unless I press # to create a #define or // or /*. So only key press of # or / would cause the cursor to go to left border where I could then manually with single TAB press (automatically add enough tab to match the block indent level) make it go to the correct indentation (position of { + 1 tab).
edit: I just checked this to make sure- it appears that if the mouse click is on left of the correct indent, the cursor will go to left edge and doing a ; will move the text to correct indent level.

The governor shaft and gear come out as an assembly. You may have to rotate it a bit to slide it out past the cam gear. No need to take the timing cover off. Hope this helps.

It's do-or-die time for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vancouver Canucks.
Chasing the final wild-card spots in their respective conferences, both Canadian NHL clubs are playing high-stakes games on Saturday night.
Those two Hockey Night in Canada contests, as well as a pair more, are available to stream online.
Follow the links below to watch the games live.
Detroit Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs — 6:30 p.m. ET
The Detroit Red Wings have already contributed to Toronto's longest losing streak in three seasons, jeopardizing the Maple Leafs' playoffs hopes.
The Red Wings will try to boost their postseason chances again by ending a three-game skid and sending the reeling Maple Leafs to an eighth consecutive defeat Saturday night.
Detroit (33-26-14) used a pair of third-period goals to secure a 3-2 victory over visiting Toronto on March 18 to initiate a three-game win streak. The Red Wings have gone 0-2-1 since and gave up two goals in the third period in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Montreal after rallying from a two-goal deficit.
The game starts at 7 p.m., but coverage kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Click here to watch the stream.
Montreal Canadiens at Florida Panthers — 7 p.m. ET
The Montreal Canadiens know they're almost certain to begin the playoffs against a team based in Florida, but they'd prefer not having to travel south to kick off their playoff run.
Getting two points against the Sunshine State team that won't even sniff the postseason will get them closer to that goal.
The Habs look to take another step toward earning home-ice advantage in the first round as they seek a fifth straight victory Saturday night against the host Florida Panthers.
The on-ice action gets started just after 7 p.m. Click here to stream the game.
Winnipeg Jets at Los Angeles Kings — 10 p.m. ET
Late-season surges are becoming the norm for the Los Angeles Kings, and they're proving again that they should be considered dangerous come playoff time.
Los Angeles seeks a sixth straight victory as it kicks off a three-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.
Click here to tune in to the 10 p.m. match.
Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks — 10 p.m. ET
The Anaheim Ducks can match a franchise record for victories Saturday night in their contest against the wild-card-chasing Vancouver Canucks.
Anaheim (47-18-8) last won 48 games in 2006-07 when it finished with a team-record 110 points and won the franchise's lone Stanley Cup. The Ducks are one point behind San Jose in the Pacific Division, with the Sharks playing Saturday afternoon in Colorado.
The game starts at 10 p.m. ET. Click here to tune in.

We recently held a fall wine and cheese tasting party at our home – it was a wonderful excuse to get together with our friends and try something new!
Here is a sample of the invitations that I made for the party
I asked each of our guests to bring a bottle of wine to the party to swap with someone else. To keep it anonymous I had an area set up with bags/tissue. When each guest came in they wrote their name on the bottom of the bag before they placed their bottle in it – so they wouldn't accidentally take their own home. This was such a fun way for everyone to take home a new wine to try – maybe something they wouldn't normally pick for themselves.
I also created some wine tasting sheets for my guests to fill out while they were doing the tasting. I used a book that the guy from Total Wine and More game me to help me create these tasting sheets. If you are interested in downloading my tasting sheets here are a few links to a document sharing site:
I also made wine charms for everyone's wine glasses. There were 14 of us total so we didn't want to get the glasses mixed up. I used wince corks and candles for most of my décor, a hunter green color and some chalkboard/chalk accents. I also had a large 2×4 chalkboard that I made with all of the nights pairings written on it – but I forgot to snap a picture of it. Oops!
I also made some wine charm favors in these cute jute bags for my guests to take home after the party
There were an array of appetizers for the guests to enjoy – recipes to come in future posts
Endive with Gorgonzola, Pear and Walnuts
Cranberry and Blue Cheese Bruschetta
Butternut Squash Shooters
Stuffed Mushrooms
Goat Cheese Tarts
Baked Brie with Apple Compote
Cheese Straws
Assorted Crackers
There were 4 wine and cheese pairings for the evening – two red and two white. I also updated a few cheese knives by putting wine corks on the end.
Château L'Ermitage Costières de Nimes paired with an herbed goat cheese
Awakena Carmenère paired with a camembert
Cottesbrook Sauvignon Blanc paired with a cheddar
A selection of three Rieslings paired with gorgonzola – Sawtooth was the crowd favorite
As well as a port paired with a flourless chocolate cake and a gewürztraminer paired with a pumpkin cheesecake topped with brown-butter pears. I personally really enjoyed the Carmenère, which is a Chilean wine and I also like the Sauvignon Blanc, it paired really nicely with the cheddar. Port wines have really intense flavor and my guests that had tasted them before said that they were able to enjoy it much more when drinking it while eating the chocolate cake. But I think the pumpkin cheesecake may have been a favorite of the night!
Everyone had lots of fun tasting and discussing the wines and cheeses
This was a fun way for all of us to get together and learn a little more about all these wines and cheeses :) And definitely a change from our typically dinner parties
