To create your own DLL with custom graphic resources for SMS to use, you need to provide two code files to develop the DLL. The first file is the C++ code, smscust.cpp, and the other file is a resource script file, smscust.rc. The only other files you need are the bitmap and icon files that you create.
The C++ Code
The smscust.cpp file contains the DLL entry point that NT uses to perform dynamic linking at runtime. Dynamic linking is the process that lets one piece of code, such as SMS Administrator, call on other code, such as our custom resource-only DLL, that is not in the calling program's executable. The entry point tells NT where to start running the DLL's code when it is called from another application.
Because you're creating a DLL that just stores resources for SMS to use (a resource-only DLL), you don't need to do a lot of C++ programming. You only need to use some standard hook-up code that all DLLs contain. Listing A shows sample code, resdll.c, that comes with the SMS software development kit (SDK) for developing a resource-only DLL. The only function in the DLL is DllMain, the so-called entry point for all DLLs (everything following a // is a comment). The #include tells the compiler to copy all the code from the windows.h file referenced by the include statement into my filethis coding saves retyping this information in resdll.c. The DllMain function begins with the line that starts with BOOL APIENTRY. Note the Nothing to initialize comment. DllMain's primary purpose is to let you do any necessary initialization of data structures and memory allocations before an application such as SMS starts to use the DLL. Because you don't need to initialize anything, the program simply returns TRUE, signaling that the DllMain function successfully completed.
As I mentioned in the main article, you don't need to obtain this C++ code if you have Visual C++ (VC++); it can generate this code for you automatically. However, if you don't have VC++, copy resdll.c from the SMS SDK and rename it smscust.cpp for your custom DLL (the .cpp extension tells the compiler to treat the file as a C++ filesee, you just became a C++ programmer!).
The Resource Script
The resource script identifies and describes the graphic resources that you want to include in the DLL. Resource scripts can get pretty complicated, but the script for this task is simple. The minimum script for adding a printer bitmap, printer.bmp, whose resource name is PRINTER_
PRINTER is as follows:
PRINTER_PRINTER BITMAP DISCARDABLE "Printer.bmp"
The resource script identifies the resource as a BITMAP that is DISCARDABLE. The DISCARDABLE keyword tells NT that it can remove the bitmap from memory when NT needs to access memory because NT can safely reload the image if needed. Although you can add some other entries to smscust.rc, this code is enough to get a printer bitmap into your resource-only DLL.
LISTING A: The Sample resdll.c C++ File
#include <windows.h> // ************************************************************** // // Function: DllMain(HANDLE, DWORD, LPVOID) // // ************************************************************** // // Description: // // This is the main initialization routine called by the NT // kernel when a new thread requests use of the DLL. It's also // called when a thread stops using the DLL. A parameter passed // to the function identifies the reason for calling. // // ************************************************************** BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hDLL, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved) \{ // Nothing to initialize. return TRUE; \}

Salt Ceramic Heart Ornaments for Valentine's Day
We've made salt ceramic heart ornaments for the last few Valentine's Days but I've never had the time to post them before! Salt ceramic is great because it is non-toxic and air dries to a nice sheen. You can color it in advance or paint once it is dry. Salt ceramic is shinier and harder than salt dough and does not need to be baked.
We have fun measuring the ingredients out, flattening the dough, cutting out shapes, and then decorating.
- 1 cup table salt
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 3/4 cup of cold water
- cookie cutters
- toothpick (optional)
- jewels or other decorative items (optional)
- paint (optional)
1. Mix ingredients together and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes.
2. Remove and let cool.
3. Knead until soft. (At this point you can store in a baggie or start working with it.)
4. Roll out or flatten.
5. Cut out shapes.
6. Add decorations or paint.
7. Insert a toothpick if you would like a hole for hanging the shapes as ornaments.
Educational Connections:
- School Readiness: Following directions and using cookie cutters and picking up small embellishments (fine motor skills) are important readiness skills.
- Mathematics: Have kids measure the ingredients.
- Culture: Find out about Valentine's Day and other similar holidays around the world.
- Biology: Why did the ancients associate emotions with the heart? What does a real human heart look like and what role does the heart play?

What a great idea! I haven't heard of ceramic dough but am excited to try it out. Do you have any recollection of the number of hearts you got out of one batch? Looking to make them with a class of 7 students.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Hello mates, how is all, and what you would like to say about this article, in my view its in fact awesome in support

Hidden in the depths of Northern Ireland's most beautiful county is Cuilcagh Mountain. So stunning, it could easily be mistaken as part of The Lord of the Rings set. The mountain sits on the border between counties Fermanagh and Cavan and is a UNESCO Global Geopark.
Cuilcagh Mountain is the highest point in Co. Fermanagh at 666 metres/2182 feet. I still think Topped Mountain near Lisbellaw is higher, but I won't argue (I recently visited Topped Mountain). Cuilcagh is loosely translated to 'chalky'; an odd name for a mountain that is composed of shale and sandstone.
I recently had my first venture up Cuilcagh with Mum and Dad. The mountain and surrounding geopark are local to where I grew up, but had neglected to visit. I have been to neighbouring Marble Arch Caves multiple times and had been dragged through the Cladagh Glen on numerous occasions for Geography field trips at school. (Update: I like to go there out of choice now; beautiful waterfalls).
On a day the sun was shining brightly, we made our way past the entrance to the Marble Arch Caves and into a car park for walkers of the Legnagbrocky trail.
The trail begins walking along a road for service vehicles for the park. Sheep graze along the road, resting from the sun under trees with their lambs. Their comfortableness with humans allows you to get relatively close to them.
As the road ends, the boardwalk begins.
The boardwalk was opened for public use in 2015 and drastically changed accessibility to Cuilcagh. Previously, walkers trudged along blanket bog and up steep climbs. Today, the boardwalk goes along 1.6 km above the bog before reaching a mountain staircase of 450 steps (I cannot confirm this number – I forgot to count myself).
You are advised not to deviate from the boardwalk, however, that is asking me to. I found some hidden water pools and pockets of life within the wilderness of the mountain.
It doesn't take you to be a marathon runner to achieve the summit of Cuilcagh but mastering the steps to the top will require a basic level of fitness.
The sun stayed out when we arrived at the top of the steps and the only thing left to do was find a perfect rock to have our sammiches (read: sandwiches) on. Looking at the view of Fermanagh on a sunny day, I have to say there is nowhere that impresses me more.
The route is not circular, so you must backtrack on yourself to return to the car park. That means walking down 450 steps. On a plus side, it is a completely different workout.
Cuilcagh is one of the best walks in Co. Fermanagh to take. While we went on a day the sun shone (I had tan lines…), the weather on the boggy mountain is changeable and it can do so quickly. It isn't a walk you should do in your flip flops and make sure you bring a drink (I do recommend the sammich at the top of a mountain tradition).
Practical Information
Location: Follow directions to the Marble Arch Caves (43 Marlbank Road, Legnabrocky, Florencecourt BT92 1EW). After passing the entrance, continue on the road and on your left is a car park signposted 'Cuilcagh Mountain Park'; this is where the walk begins/finishes.

One in five Medicare patients is readmitted to the hospital within thirty days, in which half of them are non-adherent. In addition, 125,000 deaths each year are attributed to adherent related causes.
Post Falls, ID (PRWEB) February 03, 2014
Since the implementation of the MedPax in the final quarter of 2013, Medicine Man Pharmacy has received quite a positive response from the patients, as well as the doctor's offices. The MedPax system is not only saving time for the patients, caregivers and doctor's offices, but with more patients taking their medications correctly, there are less patients going back into hospitals after being discharged.
"MedPax is designed to help our patients take their medications properly, therefore avoiding side effects from improper usage and resulting in fewer trips to the pharmacy and hospitals. Less time is spent organizing medications each month by patients and caregivers," said Medicine Man Pharmacy owner Don Smith. "One in five Medicare patients is readmitted to the hospital within thirty days, in which half of them are non-adherent. In addition, 125,000 deaths each year are attributed to adherent related causes."
The Medicine Man MedPax technology builds custom strips with the dates, days and times the medications are to be taken. With so many patients taking multiple medications, MedPax takes out the guesswork of when to take medication, taking into account many variables, such as interactions for multiple prescriptions at one time, does one take it with or without food or is morning or night best.
Medicine Man Pharmacy, serving North Idaho since 1978, is the very first in the area to offer this program at two of their locations, Medicine Man Prairie in Hayden and Medicine Man West in Post Falls. For more information or to find a location, please visit http://www.medmanpharmacy.com or call 208.773.3566 or 208.762.9355.

Located 768 metres (2,520 ft) above sea level, approximately south east of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-round than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.

Get booked on to this Lego look-alike
At first, it was just a five block vertical building
At first, it was just a five block vertical building.
Later, it had a garden patch in front and a newly bought dog; gradually, the house grew bigger and it even had robots! You're excused if you're a little baffled as to where this story is headed.
Well, it's got to do with my childhood love for Lego blocks. I could spend hours building up everything from a villa to a space station.
My parents don't understand why a 'woman' feels like buying Lego now, so I compensate by admiring any accessory shaped like those colourful bricks.
Till date, I have found connectable Iphone speakers, pen drives, cutlery and bags. And to add to the list are these extremely cute notepads with building block covers.
Apart from keeping your inner child happy, you can also use this planner to add an element of fun to your to-do schedule. They also have removable tags that can be attached on the cover like blocks.
The best part the covers are reusable. And, once you've filled the pages, stick another set inside. Sounds like fun, isn't it?

ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Hypocrisy?
Steve Eder and the New York Times take ESPN to task for receiving "about $260 million in state tax breaks and credits over the past 12 years," including $84.7 million in development tax credits and another $15 million thanks to simple tax code lobbying.
This is of note considering recent coverage questioning the tax status of the NFL and the PGA Tour. Just recently the excellent Outside the Lines took the tour to task for its charitable giving. You may recall thee primary takeaway involved over $200 million in federal and state tax breaks the PGA Tour had received over the last decade or so. An amount was actually less than what the mothership was mooching off of one state in the union. Granted, I've never been to Bristol and this all may be perfectly justified to get anyone to set up shop there. However, the sweetheart status does not help the net's credibility when reporting on the very same topic.
Bloomberg's Kathiva Davidson noted the problems with this dichotomy.
And just two weeks ago, ESPN made waves with an in-depth "Outside the Lines" report on the PGA Tour's nonprofit business model, which has resulted in nearly $200 million in federal tax exemptions over the last two decades.
The most recent piece acknowledged the group's charitable contributions but questioned how much of it actually serves needy groups and whether those benefits outweigh the cost to taxpayers. Bristol residents should probably start to question their local politicians the next time they want to further shift the tax burden away from the Worldwide Leader.
While we're on ESPN analysis, a recent Deadspin post by Patrick Burns reported his findings from 23,000 minutes of Sportscenter viewing and found that if you are a partner of the network, you get coverage. If not...
In reality as defined by SportsCenter, there is no such thing as "the four major leagues." Add coverage of golf, NASCAR, club and international soccer, the Olympics, and tennis to what the NHL got, and you still don't reach half the time spent on the NFL. Football and basketball, in both professional and nominally amateur flavors, took up well over half of SportsCenter's time between them. Add in baseball and you've accounted for about three-quarters. Tennis—all of it, the entire sport—got about half as much coverage as Mark Sanchez did all by himself, and he sucks.
Granted, this doesn't come as a surprise but it was nice to see someone quantify the ESPN bias toward business partners. Certainly they are well within their right to emphasis home-programming, which is another reason golf bodies talking to them about rights deals should think twice about clean breaks.

The earthquake in Japan has had a domino effect on technology as fabs and factories are damaged or forced to close following the aftermath. Scientists are warning a tsunami is headed towards many other countries bordering the Pacific, including Australia and New Zealand.
The quake, which hit Japan in the early hours of this morning measured 8.9 and bought with it a tsumani that is spreading across the Pacific. Together the earthquake has already shut down nuclear power plants and oil refineries, while a major steel plant was on fire.
Parts of the country are also without power and landslides have hit, while roads have been damaged, meaning that it will be hard to get materials in and out in the near future.
It is more than likely that the tech industry will be affected with semiconductor factories based in North Japan while the tsunami is headed towards Australia too, scientists say.
There are also major manufacturing industrial zones and electronics plants in the Miyagi prefecture and surrounding areas.
Back in August 2009 an earthquake temporarily devastated the tech industry. The internet was down and factories were forced to close for days. One example was Corning's LCD glass manufacturing facility in Shizuoka, which came to a halt following a 6.4 magnitude earthquake off the Japanese coast. This is an earthquake on an altogether larger scale.
*Update News is pouring in about more technology plant closures. Sony has reportedly stopped output at plants and evacuated six factories in the Northeastern part of Japan. Yasuhiro Okada, a spokesman for the company, told Business Week that Sony is now looking at the affects of the power outages and damage to its facilities.
It's likely that Blu-ray discs, magnetic heads and batteries will be affected as these were the main line of production at the factories. Canon however has reported that it's had a lucky escape. It hasn't suffered damage to plants, and it says production will not be stopped.
*Google has set up a page to help people in Japan find friends and relatives who may have been caught up in the tsunami.
The Person Finder service is available in English and in Japanese and lets people post messages of the person they are looking for or any information they have. Developers can also embed the tool on websites.
*Stocks are dropping. The Nikkei has slipped as a result of the earthquake with stocks falling nearly five percent.
Despite that there are exchanges that are still open, and Reuters reports that the yen rose due to predictions that Japanese investors would bring back funds from abroad.
This was evident in the stocks. When the quake hit the yen fell to around 83.29 per dollar.
However this rose to trade at 82.80 as people recalled how the flow of capital back into the country pushed the currency to a record high, following the aftermath of the Kobe earthquake in 1995.
It is thought that the economy could suffer in the near future as the destruction will require extra government spending, thus stretching the finances of Japan.
*Undersea power cables have also been damaged, which could take hold on the connectivity of calls made between China and Japan.
That's according to a spokesman for the parent company of Chinese network operator China Unicom. The company said that two or three cables were damaged and although it didn't have the full information, it has adjusted routers to redirected data along cables that haven't been damaged.
*Mobile networks are down as are landlines. The frantic efforts of relatives, business colleagues and friends to contact each other has only worsened the load on Japan's infrastructure. People in Japan have been turning to the likes of Twitter and Facebook to communicate outside the country.
*Reports are in that Taiwan is unaffected – and a government Tsunami warning has been lifted.

Who Says QR Codes and Digital Media Can't Be Art?
Art and Technology Meet Under the Influence
It's officially bottle popping season. Everyone is gearing up to attend holiday parties where wine bottles will be emptied into glasses clinked together in celebration of the holidays. Wine has been the center of spiritual and social rituals and gatherings for centuries. Its involvement in our culture has been immortalized in works of art. The imagery of its influence has been described in the prose of great writers and lyrics of our favorite musical performers.
Curator Souleo invited artists to create pieces inspired by enology, the study of all things related to wine and winemaking at the exhibit appropriately called "Art Enology". The exhibit features pieces from over twenty artists including paintings, sculpture and film, made with or inspired by wine bottles. Recently, some of the artists who accepted Souleo's challenge along with others who are familiar with aspects of making and selling wine gathered at Art in Flux Harlem gallery to participate in a panel discussion titled "From Picasso to Drake". The panel was made up of two artists who were featured in the exhibit Jeremiah Drake, and Janet Goldner as well as, Megan Wiig, Mutineer magazine columnist and founder of Wine Wise Consulting, Dustin Nelson, Marketing Director of Le Poisson Rouge and Founding Editor of inDigest magazine and Michael Cavanagh, journalist for Wine Enthusiast and The Culture-ist.
Discussion ranged from the influences of wine on the arts and artists throughout history and in modern times as well as the role it plays in the way we socialize. Panelists answered questions about the business of wine, the creation of wine and how the existence of wine in our culture has been reflected through the works of artists as well as the effects on those who are experiencing the art. The panel discussion commenced with a wine tasting with red wine provided by Simone International/ Papi Wines.
Artists who participated in the Art Enology exhibit were able to bring relevance to the subject with their pieces reflecting their interpretation of the topic. Two of the artists took the challenge and added elements to their work that not only showed the manifestation of wine and its influence but the evolution of art as it is combined with cutting edge technology. Both artists were able to merge traditional mediums with advances in technology, giving the term visual art another meaning.
The first piece used the much buzzed about Zcorp 3D printer. After creating an image on the computer, the Zcorp 3D printer begins the process of building that image into a tangible object. Artist Joshua DeMonte used revolutionary technology to create his piece featured in the exhibit entitled "Cushion". The red brick pattern on the piece was applied onto the surface of the object during the printing process. Though the printer does a good amount of the work evolving a one dimensional image into a 3D creation, after extracting the object from the printer, artists and designers must then begin a process of covering the piece with a super glue or epoxy substance to ensure the strength of the final product. This video shows a step by step process of how objects are "printed".
Tej: Code (Traditional Ethiopian Honey Wine) by Jason E. Auguste shows two wine bottles framing an image in the center that resembles an ancient symbol. A closer look of the piece reveals that the design in the center of this piece is QR code. By scanning the image using a QR scanner app which can easily be downloaded on any smartphone, users are linked to websites featuring everything from information about a product to promotional deals. By scanning Auguste's artwork, the piece came to life and links viewers to a video that explained the history of wine in Ethiopia. Check out the video here.
Every piece on display showcased the way each artist manipulated the wine bottles to tell a distinctive story. Four of the twenty plus artists who participated in the exhibition attended the event and gave patrons some behind the scenes information about their interpretation of the subject, their chosen medium, and their process of making each piece.
Beau McCall made three pieces for the show. McCall has an extensive background in wearable art. He recalled that his first piece was a sweater made entirely out of buttons. Over time the shape of that sweater started to change due to the weight of the buttons. McCalls compares his evolution of the use of that material including the pieces showcased in Art Enology, to the changing nature of that first piece.
According to McCall, the topic of Art Enology made him think about house parties and the three types of drinkers you would see at such event. Though each piece tells its own story, collectively they are called "Harlem Hangover" no party would be complete without the three types of drinkers McCall includes in his installation.
The first piece "Pop Pop Pop" represents the celebratory drinker.
The second piece titled "A Social Siiiiip" symbolizes the social drinker.
The final piece "Tiiipsssyyy" embodies the nature of the lush as it shows wine spilling over.
Greg Frederick is known for using vinyl records to create eclectic pop art pieces. Though this piece was not made up of vinyl, Frederick took the opportunity to immortalize an acclaimed singer in his work called "Amy Winehouse". The piece is a portrait of the late singer made out of wine labels. Looking closely at the piece you not only see the labels of Frederick's favorite wines but titles that reflect the way some may have viewed Winehouse such as a Smoking Loon label. The piece had humor but also soul. Next to her eye is a label featuring a silhouette of man dancing which we both agreed was like Winehouse's spirit guide.
Janet Goldner who also sat on the panel is a welder. Goldner enjoys manipulating steel to create her pieces. Her contribution to Art Enology is called "Exuberance". The steel elements of the piece look as if they are bursting from the bottle holding true to the title of the sculpture.
Jeremiah Drake another panelist made his piece using found objects. "Black Baby in the Garbage- Don't Pay That Baby No Mind" is an homage to a real life baby he came across while in transition in Los Angeles. The baby was indeed in the garbage and none of the people in the area seemed concerned. Drake was unable to assist the child on that day but that image stayed with him. "The baby sits on top of a totem," he says while explaining that the imagery is meant to show the actual importance of the child. Though the piece brought back a painful memory and can definitely spark some commentary about the world we live in Drake believes, "Art is using our senses to get closer to the truth".
The event was a success in that it allowed for open discussion and artistic expression about a substance that many of the panelists and artists agreed is a "social lubricant" and at times an enhancement for creativity. One of the panelists described the process of making wine as taking a grape which in itself is a work of art created by nature and then transforming it into a substance that inspires the creative nature of others as they create their art work. Through the use of mixed mediums and the incorporation of technology into some of the work, Art Enology transported the viewers of the art leaving them with a feeling that can only be achieved by taking a sip.
Art Enology will continue to be on display at the Art in Flux Harlem gallery until January 23, 2013. Future special events surrounding the exhibit include:
Look Like a Collector, Drink Like a Connoisseur on January 12th (1- 3pm)
Blindfold Me: Envisioning Wine on January 18th (7- 8pm)
Closing Reception on January 23rd (6-9pm)

Edward Woodard, former CEO of the Virginia Bank of the Commonwealth, was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for masterminding a massive fraud scheme that led to the bank's failure.
That failure also cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation $333 million, according to a report by Christy Romero, Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
"This is the largest bank failure in Virginia history," Romero said in announcing Woodward's sentence. "When the loans resulted in losses, he hid the losses through criminal accounting tricks and lies to bank examiners. He stole, lining his own pockets at the expense of the bank."
Woodward is required to repay the $333 million.
The former CEO fabricated bank records and lied to bank examiners for his personal gain and to cheat $28 million in TARP funds from taxpayers in order to fill the gaps in the books his actions caused.
At his request, Woodard's conspirators performed favors such as bailing out the defendant's son from bad investments.
Woodard also masked the bank's declining financial condition by forming relationships with troubled borrowers, such as former president of Tivest Development & Construction, LLC, Dwight Etheridge.
"Woodard also caused the bank to pay approximately $100,000 for renovations to his son's personal residence, thousands of dollars in fraudulent commissions owed and his son's personal legal fees," according to Romero.
In exchange for his conspirators' help, Woodard gave them favors, such as below-market interest rates, and allowed hundreds of thousands of dollars in overdrafts.
Woodard, 70, a Norfolk, Va., resident, was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, false entry in a bank record, unlawful participation in loans, false statements to a financial institution, misapplication of bank funds and bank fraud.
Etheridge was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison last month for his contribution to the fraud scheme.
Woodard was found guilty after a 10-week jury trial on May 24.
"TARP is not an opportunity to finance banks failing under the weight of fraud," Romero said. "Woodard directed a culture of pervasive deceit, corruption and arrogance that spread like a disease at the bank."

Although Google's mechanism in ranking website is well-known, little is known about its image ranking algorithms. But if your image manages to stealth visibility in the image search results of Google, Yahoo or MSN, it can offer traffic to your website. It is this advantage of image optimization that website owners struggle hard to optimize their images for good ranking in image search. For instance, if you try the word 'google' in Google search box, none of the resultant images is from Google website. While, there are some proven techniques to do it, most of the effort is guided by speculations.
However, it cannot be denied that number of small seo companies and independent professionals have been successful in optimizing their images. Gallery-webmasters are also taking recourse to certain techniques to optimize their pictures. Interestingly, the key principle to optimize images is based on content optimization techniques. It will be clear in the following discussion on the different practices in image optimization.
Use of descriptive file name: As Google's eyes are open to content only, try to use a file name that is a little descriptive. The default camera filename of a picture is generally small such as IMG_245.jpg. But if the filename is a little descriptive like 'low-price-furniture-emarket.jpg', it has a greater chance of visibility.
Use a longer description in the ALT and TITLE tags: When you are writing the script, the coding for images must be done carefully. Give a brief description of the images in about seven to eight words under the Image tags, ALT tags and TITLE tags.
Caption-type description of images: Apart from using descriptions in the coding, put a two-line description of the image just beneath it in a way a caption is generally attached. It is because of this text that your graphics will be singled out by Google and get visibility. You can also put the image at the center of the page with texts all around it.
Put image alongside text: The design of your image may not permit using float text. In that case you have to ensure that the images are placed next to the texts that describe them.
Place the image at the top: It has been deduced from experienced that if an image is placed at the top of a page, it stands a greater chance of visibility than the one placed at the bottom.
Use of meta tags: In case of developing image gallery, where the developer has no scope for using image description, title and meta tags can be utilized for posting information.
These are some of the techniques that web masters are used to. Sometimes images are hot-linked to allow visitors direct access to another page. But this will take up a significant portion of the bandwidth. One can also consider using keywords in image name, in the surrounding texts and alt-texts. Keywords are used in the URL too. Moreover, if the image size is between 320 pixels and 1280 pixels, it will be conducive of its optimization.

Hazare gives govt winter ultimatum
Anti-graft crusader asks Centre to pass Jan Lokpal bill in winter session of House
Anti-graft crusader asks Centre to pass Jan Lokpal bill in winter session of House
At a public forum, Anna Hazare took on the government head on and gave an ultimatum asking it to pass the Jan Lokpal bill in the coming winter session of the Parliament. Hazare also appealed to the people to not to vote for Congress candidates if the bill was not passed in the Parliament. "I am planning a nationwide tour soon, including the five states where elections will be held. I shall fast for three days in Lucknow during the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections if the government does not respond to my demands," he said.
Firm stand: Anna Hazare with his associate Arvind Kejriwal in
Ralegansiddhi yesterday
Dealing with Cong
Hazare said he would start his nationwide movement from Hisar. "I am doing this only because the Congress is not willing to pass the Jan Lokpal bill even as other political parties have declared their support," said Hazare.
Support for Bhatt
Extending his support to suspended IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt, Hazare said, "It is sad that people who speak the truth are put behind bars. It is absolutely wrong, as the case is still pending. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi should not have sent Bhatt to jail."
Hazare also objected to the present electronic system at toll nakas on highways and said these nakas had become extortion spots, as there was nobody to control them. "I shall give a month's time to the MSRTC to make the toll collection system transparent," he said.
No political leanings
Arvind Kajriwal, who also visited Ralegansiddhi on Tuesday, clarified his political stand in the elections and said: "We are not supporting any candidate. In fact, let the citizens decide who is aright and who is wrong. Our stand is absolutely transparent. We do not support any one and are only expressing our opposition," he said.
Kajriwal was in Ralegansiddhi yesterday after completing 10 days of Mauna Vrat (keeping silent). He wanted to discuss some issues with Hazare, said Jaisingh Mapari, sarpanch of the village.

rotary engine headers
Rotary engines have the ability to make large power gains through tuning. One of the most important aspects of rotary tuning is rotary exhaust. Rotary engines produce very strong hot pulses of air. The strong exhaust pulses can be used in a manner similar to two stroke exhaust tuning. The exhaust can be tuned to scavenge the intake air into the engine causing a filling of air into the intake side. The intake air is trying to fill the vacuum of where the exhaust has left. Racing headers from companies like racing beat and mazdaspeed can bring large improvements in power. Muffler and larger tubing mandrel bent exhausts can also largely improve the power of a rotary engine. Rotary exhausts should not be cheap normal exhausts. The increased temperatures and pressures of the rotary exhaust will quickly break or destroy a normal exhaust. The preferred exhaust systems will be larger gauge (thicker) and best made of stainless steel. Even the mufflers are made thicker and welded better. Horsepower gains will vary on regular and turbocharged cars but will be substantial on both types of vehicles. Some rotaries may experience over 10% power increases! This is the first place to look for performance in a rotary powered vehicle.

Paints and Metal Finishes
New paint products have been introduced which increase the apparent light output of neon and LEDs in channel letters by 100%, and even light distribution, but do not affect the lifetime nor increase the energy consumption of the lighting at all. Signs Manufacturing™ uses Solar Finishes™ "Bright Reflective White" paint inside every set of channel letters we produce.
Signs Manufacturing™ also uses the new Signlux Paint Systems™ paints and two-part primer systems.
The entire channel letter sign will be epoxy primed, then finished with Signlux™ modern acrylic urethane automotive type finish coats, to insure that it continues to look good for many years. Even though these paints and primers are five times more expensive the long-term results are well worth the price.
In fact, the same paint types are used by BMW, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and many other luxury automobile manufacturers to paint their cars!
But, Signlux™ offers many advantages over "automotive" paint when used on signs.
Signlux™ features compatible systems of very durable, high solid yet flexible paints specifically formulated for applications on metals, plastics, wood, banners and flexible sign-face materials. These paints do not chip off the surface because of heat-freeze cycles. The paints are UV stabilized to virtually eliminate fading.
Signlux Paint Systems™ feature their own paint intermix system. The system uses the latest in paint mixing technology; more sophisticated than any paint store's.
An astonishing 32,807 colors can be mixed. Virtually all PMS (Pantone) colors can be closely matched.
Color-matching opaque and translucent paint formulas are featured. Metals are painted opaquely. Plastic and flexible sign-face materials are painted translucently so that the sign face lights in color at night. Not all sign companies do this!
Metals can be painted with either a solid color or "metallic" finish.
Signlux™ is compatible with our Ceramic Vacuum Microsphere coatings protecting the electronics in the Sunburst™ Digital LED Electronic Message Centers and Video Displays we manufacture.
Our painters are factory-trained and certified.
Our painting is virtually blemish-free.
Painting air is cleaned and dried twice before entering the paint booth, and again before painting.
Our state-of-the-art paint booth, 25' by 25' by 16' tall, with full-sized entry/exit doors on each end, filters the air coming into the booth as well as the air discharge. (The booth even has its own built-in explosion-proof lifting crane.)
The goal of every sign is to be noticed. Paint your sign some color other than Architectural Brown. Stand out. You have 32,807 choices. Maybe even add a neon border. We can do that!
For truly unique signs, Signs Manufacturing™ is the ONLY sign company in Texas that can finish the returns and/or back-plates on channel letter signs (or anything else, even walls) in ACTUAL:
Or other exotic metals.
Please stop by and see all of these products displayed in our unique Sign Lighting Laboratory and Display Showroom.

Lockheed Martin and Swiss Pilatus Aircraft joint bid – together with Hawker Pacific – to supply the Royal Australian Air Force with a new basic trainer has finally had its confirmed success.
Canberra confirmed on Sunday 6 September that it has choosen this "Team 21" to deliver 49 new Pilatus-designed PC-21 turboprop aircraft to replace the aging PC-9/A fleet of Training Command's Central Flying School at RAAF Base East Sale in Victoria and the 2 Flight Training School at RAAF Pearce. Both bases will likely manage a fleet of 22 aircraft, with 5 additional PC-21s used for testing and as a reserve.
Officially the Australian government still calls Team 21's bid "the preferred choice", but nobody doubts that when the details of the deal have been worked out another plane would be choosen. The choice seems to mark the end of 4 Squadron flying the PC-9/As out of RAAF Williamtown and which is not mentioned in the modernisation program. Currently Williamtown helps putting the 63 aircraft strong PC-9/A fleet in the air.
Already in May there seemed no other option left than the PC-21, which clearly won from the BAE Systems, Beechcraft and CAE Australia counter-bid to bring the Beechcraft T-6C Texan II into the RAAF's ranks.
Australia has had a taste of the PC-21 already, since the Republic of Singapore Air Force's Basic Wings Course (BWC) program has been running at RAAF Pearce for eight years now as part of a 20-year program, with the RSAF having a total of 19 PC-21s on strength. Hawker Pacific and Switzerland's Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, are principal subcontractors to Lockheed Martin, the training systems integrator.
The first pair of Royal Australian Air Force PC-21s is expected in 2017.

Period Pavilions
Pavilion-makers for over 35 years; we wrote the book on Period Pavilions™
We design, make, and sell traditional pavilions, colorful and decorated, as well as a line of faux buildings: cottages, castles, chapels, and more, all made of canvas and steel. Period Pavilions are perfect not just for historical re-enactments, Renaissance Faires and movies, but for many different events - parties, weddings, school fairs, sales conventions, flea markets, and more. Accessories available include floor tarps, mud flaps, rain gutters with downspouts, netting & clear walls, interior curtain walls to divide the space, "attics" for storage of light items, and more.
In-stock and Custom Pavilions
We have a large selection of new and used Period Pavilions in stock, available for immediate sale. We also make custom pavilions and faux-buildings to your specifications; unusual shapes are our specialty!
Contact us for a quote - financing is available. Your dream pavilion may be in your reach!
Our Period Pavilions
You can butt two or more flat-sided canopies or pavilions together to have more space - the juncture can be protected with a rain gutter and downspouts. We also make expandable pavilions - each can be set up at either of two depths, with roof sections that zip together to be any length desired (like our sales booth at several SCA wars!). Use just the size you need for any particular event, or use extra roof ends to split it into several complete pavilions at one time. Attics can be hung from the frame, inside the roof space, to add storage without taking up floor space (which is not possible with pole tents). All these features make a Period Pavilion very versatile, especially for merchants!
Period Pavilions go up fast, stay up under adverse weather better than pole tents, then break down easily and pack small. Since they are frame tents, you can set them up places where a pole tent can't be used, like paved areas or indoors. Because there are no center poles, you can use the entire space inside any way you like. Unless otherwise noted, all walls are separate from the tent roof, making them easier to pack and clean. Since they are hung from the perimeter poles, they can be swung up to form a canopy, hung or slid open in many different arrangements, left off entirely, or replaced by netting or clear walls. For safety as well as convenience, each pavilion has at least 2 entrances; in most cases, you can arrange the walls so at least one of the doors opens exactly where desired. Each pavilion comes with complete, fully-illustrated step-by-step instructions, and the joints and poles are color-coded for ease of assembly.
Longevity, Safety and Comfort
We use materials that last for decades without constant re-treating, and that enhance your safety. Then we put in lots of convenient features like wall windows and roof vents that open and close from inside the pavilion.

Period Pavilions in stock
With one exception (Belle Ronde), each traditional pavilion and faux-building is unique. Some are used, others in stock haven't been used yet. Some are not yet decorated, giving you the option to decorate it yourself. We can sometime switch walls between pavilion or make custom walls of a different color if that suits your needs better. All pavilions are subject to prior sale, and our stock is constantly changing. Please ask us for a updated listing of the ones currently in stock plus color pictures of most of them. We would be happy to advise you, based on our 47 years of making and using pavilions.
Custom Period Pavilions
If you don't see a pavilion that you like listed for sale on our website, ask us for a quote on a custom traditional pavilion or faux-building. Period shapes like barbells, or pavilions with turrets? Unusual tents like pagodas or pirate ships, rockets or planes? We can do them. Please allow plenty of time for custom pavilions - there are times when we are booked several months ahead.
Come by our booth at many SCA wars
Visit us to chat and to check out our diorama of miniature pavilions and faux buildings (you'll be both amused and inspired!). Children and adults alike love the miniature people, animals, etc. And because we know emergencies happen, we always bring a few extra pavilions to War.
Any of the pavilions and canopies with flat sides can be butted against another pavilion with flat sides, and the join protected against rain with a rain gutter and down spouts.
Period Pavilions™ - The Book! by Coryn Weigle
If you would rather make your own pavilion, check out Period Pavilions™ - The Book! It will save you a great deal of time, effort, money, and disappointment, and show you how to do things you hadn't considered before (for example, a wall window).

World Wrestling Entertainment issued a press release Friday announcing lower-than-expected earnings when the organization releases fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 10. The company anticipates its earnings per share for the three months ended Dec. 31 will range from 8 cents to 10 cents. Analysts were estimating earnings of 17 cents a share. Shares in WWE stock slid $1.13 (8.4 percent), to $12.37 in aftermarket trading after falling 33 cents (2.4 percent) to $13.50 during the regular trading day.
The news has been picked up by The Associated Press, as well as the Wall Street Journal and TheStreet.com. Some mid-card talent are already wondering if a talent purge will soon take place since company officials told all of those that were released in November that they were let go due to budget cuts. WWE dropped 35 main roster talents and 19 developmental talents over the course of 2010, marking the fifth consecutive year in which over 50 talent departures occurred within a calendar year.

Antonio Cassano has issued a damning critique of his time at AC Milan following his move to city rivals Inter.
The 30-year-old Italy international was in fiery form, slamming the influence of the Rossoneri hierarchy, while also accusing the club of being disloyal.
"When I joined Milan, I said that if I got it wrong there I ought to be locked up," he said in a specially arranged press conference.
"Well, this time, I was not the one who got it wrong. I had to leave. There was someone above the coach who did something wrong, and I can't stand it when people take me for a ride.
"I don't even want to mention him. He thinks he is smart.
"When I was ill, my team-mates were very close, but this person promised so much. It was all smoke and no fire.
"The promises Milan made? Ask this other person, who is so good at turning the situation around. He gets on only with those who suck up to him, but that's not my style.
"This time I want to deal with men who let me know when things are right or wrong. I want to be told face-to-face what the real situation is. Elsewhere, they say some things and do others instead."
Although he pulled no punches in regard to his time in the red side of Milan, Cassano did have plenty of positive things to say about new club Inter.
"I want to thank the president, but also [head of technical staff] Marco Branca and [sporting director] Piero Ausilio. I want to thank them because they had faith in Antonio the man," he added.
"Massimo Moratti told me many things, but I won't reveal them. He wanted me here back in the days of [former boss Roberto] Mancini. However, as I was completely crazy at the time, it was right of them not to sign me.
"There was steam coming out of my ears, but now I am relaxed and calm, so it's a good decision to bring me to Inter. I am happy here.
"I had a good offer from Qatar, which I would like, but I'd love to be at the World Cup with Italy and that means playing in a real league.
"I've always supported Inter and everyone wanted me here, while I really wanted to work with Yuto Nagatomo. Will I debut tomorrow against Pescara? The coach will decide."

Networking Concepts - This lecture shows you,
Networking Concepts -
Networking is one of the main areas which needs to be specialized as an ethical hacker, In this lecture, I talk about basic networking concepts which includes protocols and services.
HTTP Methods and Errors -
Understanding HTTP Methods and HTTP Errors are very important, knowing how to send a request manually using HTTP methods helps you craft customized requests.
Footprinting - This lecture shows how to footprint your target and how important it is
Footprinting is one of main steps in ethical hacking phase. It is very much necessary to foot print the target and gather all the necessary information before crafting an attack or exploit.
Please go through the course curriculum below for further details on the course modules.
"As a small business owner, one of my greatest concerns is a cyber attack
from a malicious hacker who is trying to bring down my website. This course
helped me understand the types of tactics that a person may use to hack it,
and now I can protect myself and my business assets. Great course. Highly
recommended. - Daniel Oase, MBA
"This course introduced me into a real insecure online world. I wish I had
this course before. Thanks Gautam, for such a wonderful course." - Steve
This is the BEST COURSE CHOICE for anyone or any business that uses
computers! You'll learn to protect your systems, networks, and websites
from unauthorized hacking. Invaluable for web developers, business owners,
corporations, developers, even parents and students.
"Help! My site's been hacked!" That cry's heard hundreds, even thousands of
times daily all over the world. Computer hackers are making millions these
days hacking their way into websites of all sizes, from small businesses to
major retailers like Target.
The costs are enormous. Hackers are voracious thieves, stealingconfidential financial information belonging to you and your customers. And hackers can plant viruses and malware that can corrupt your files and shutdown your business cold.
"The online world's an insecure place."
To protect your business, your website, and your systems, you need our
ethical hacking tutorial, "Introduction to Ethical Hacking and Information Security." You will gain the knowledge, tools, and experience
you need to protect websites from hackers who want to get at what you have.
Using the skills you'll learn in our course is like triple locking and
barring your home's doors against burglars.
Ethical Hacking is PREVENTATIVE Hacking
Everybody knows what hackers are: bad guys - criminals - who find and
exploit vulnerabilities within computer systems for financial gain; who
learn and divulge secret information; and who sometimes corrupt systems
just to prove how computer-savvy they are. Lot of crazies out there and
some of them are extremely advanced in cyber-terrorism.
Ethical hacking is GOOD hacking, preventative hacking. An ethical hacker
works on his or her own system to protect it, or works within an
organization to make sure their networks and computer systems are secure.
The ethical hacker uses the SAME methods and skills as the "unethical"
hacker. Ethical hackers use the same sophisticated skills to discover and
correct computer security vulnerabilities.
The difference, of course, is ethical hackers help others, protect systems,work within the system, defeat unethical hackers from gaining access to classified info and systems that aren't as secure as the developer may have thought they were.
Don't wait until you've been hacked.
Take our ethical hacking tutorial and you'll receive hands-on training that
divulges the vulnerabilities of all major web applications. You'll discover
any PC's shocking vulnerabilities and how hackers exploit them. You'll
learn about web snippets and how to secure them.
Why take THIS ethical hacking training?
Nearly two thousand students have taken this course because...
It's the most advanced course on the subject. It covers
cutting edge hacking techniques and technology.
You'll learn to go undercover, go underground to extract advanced attacks
and exploits.
You'll learn to think like a "bad" hacker. You'll be able to analyze how
hackers operate. What they want and how they get it.
You'll learn real life ethical hacking methodology beyond automated
vulnerability scans and simple information security tests.
You'll get your hands dirty with actual hands-on labs.
You'll learn to attack a remote system right over the internet.
You can even help bust hackers, presenting them to the defence community!
You'll be ready to go for the most highly demanded certification in the
Information Technology and Information Security field.
Learn exactly how to protect electronic data - yours and others'

World Kindness Day – 11/13/13
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. – Dalai Lama
World Kindness Day is 13 November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement a coalition of nations kindness NGOs. It is observed in many countries, including England, Canada, Japan,Australia, Singapore, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates. World Kindness Day is to highlight the Good in the community focussing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race religion, politics, gender and zip codes. Kindness Cards are also an ongoing activity which can either be passed on to recognise an act of kindness and or ask that an act of kindness be done. Approaches are being made to the United Nations by the peak global body, The World Kindness Movement to have World Kindness Day officially recognised and its members unanimously sign a Declaration of Support for World Kindness.
DO ONE THING for a Better World
1. Find out more about the power of kindness
2. Make an effort to use kind words
3. Try to perform an act of kindness each day
4. Organize or participate in a community service or awareness-building event or activity on World Kindness Day

Recession Hits Dairy Brands
By JANES, Andrew
SHOPPERS switching to cheaper house-brand dairy products have led to Goodman Fielder writing down the value of its New Zealand dairy operations by about a quarter.Goodman Fielder is No 2 in the New Zealand dairy market after Fonterra. Its brands include Meadow Fresh and Sun Latte milk, and Tararua and Chesdale cheese. In the year to June 2007, the New Zealand dairy operations had revenue of almost $500 million. Yesterday it said it would write down their value by $214 million.
The company said the recession had hit brand values, "which then affects the goodwill valuation of the business".

SQL*Plus is a general purpose utility used, to run SQL commands and PL/SQL blocks, perform database administration, and so on. This chapter describes how you use SQL*Plus under BS2000/OSD. It supplements the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference with information about the following topics:
The following sections describe how to run SQL*Plus using BS2000/OSD:
For restrictions related to using SQL*Plus, see section Known Problems, Restrictions, and Workarounds in Oracle Database Installation and Administration Guide for Fujitsu BS2000/OSD.
There are two startup files for SQL*Plus:
GLOGIN.SQL, which is the global startup file.
LOGIN.SQL, which is designed for local and individual use.
Whenever any user starts SQL*Plus, first the
GLOGIN.SQL file is read, followed by the user's
LOGIN.SQL file.
The global startup file
GLOGIN.SQL is executed whenever any user starts SQL*Plus. This file can contain SQL statements or SQL*Plus commands to be run at the beginning of the SQL*Plus session. The
GLOGIN.SQL file is located under the installation user ID, and its name is
$ORAC1120.SQLPLUS.ADMIN.GLOGIN.SQL. The database administrator may customize the
GLOGIN.SQL file if required. The
GLOGIN.SQL file is run regardless of the current user ID.
LOGIN.SQL startup file is executed after the
GLOGIN.SQL command file each time a user starts SQL*Plus. Like
GLOGIN.SQL, this file may contain either SQL statements or SQL*Plus commands that a user wants to run at the beginning of every SQL*Plus session.
SQL*Plus first searches for
LOGIN.SQL under the current BS2000 user ID. If the
LOGIN.SQL file is not found, but the
SQLPATH environment variable specifies a path, then SQL*Plus searches along that path. If SQL*Plus finds a
LOGIN.SQL file, then it runs the first
LOGIN.SQL file that it finds. For a customized SQL*Plus environment, each user ID can have its own
LOGIN.SQL file.
See Appendix B, "Oracle Environment Variables" for a description of the
SQLPATH environment variable. See the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information about
The following is a sample startup file:
set echo off set feedback 4 set pause on set pause PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE TO CONTINUE set echo on
To start SQL*Plus, enter:
/START-PROGRAM $ORAC1120.SQLPLUS * userid/password
If you omit either the user ID or password, then you are prompted to enter the values.
Once you are logged in to SQL*Plus, the SQL prompt is displayed:
If you do not want to be prompted for user ID/password, then enter:
/START-PROGRAM $ORAC1120.SQLPLUS * /NOLOG SQL> connect userid/password
You can enter any SQL statement (SELECT... FROM, CREATE TABLE, and so on.) or any SQL*Plus command (
COLUMN x FORMAT, and so on) in response to this prompt.
The INTERRUPT key [K2] is used to interrupt SQL*Plus SQL statements. For example, you can interrupt SQL*Plus if you receive a long report that you do not want to select. When you press the INTERRUPT key [K2], the Oracle Database stops retrieving rows and returns you to the SQL*Plus command level.
Note:If you issue an INTERRUPT when input is requested, then you must answer this request before the processing can be interrupted. However, this answer will be ignored.
The SQL*Plus
HOST command and the
$ command enable you to enter a BS2000 command while you are logged on to SQL*Plus.
The following BS2000 commands, if used with the
HOST or
$ command, do not return to SQL*Plus when they finish running:
Some examples of how you can use the
HOST command:
If you enter the
HOST command without any BS2000 command, then it takes you to the BS2000 command level:
If you enter the
HOST command with a BS2000 command, then the BS2000 command is executed and then control returns to SQL*Plus:
You can use the SQL*Plus
EDIT command to start the BS2000 editor:
The preceding command:
Writes the SQL buffer (which contains the current SQL statement) to a file called
Starts the editor EDT, which reads the file
SQLEDT.BUF into the work area.
You can then edit and write to the file (using the
@write command). Using the
@halt command, you can leave the editor and return to SQL*Plus. SQL*Plus then reads the current contents of
SQLEDT.BUF back into its command buffer, from which the SQL statement can be run.
Note:If you use the SQL*Plus
DEFINE _EDITOR command to define a name for the editor, then BS2000 will ignore it. It always starts EDT.
You can also use the
EDIT command to edit a SQL file by specifying the SQL file in the
EDIT command. For example, if you enter the following command, then the editor EDT is called to edit the
LOGIN.SQL file. You can omit the default file name extension
SQL> EDIT login[.SQL]
For more information about the
SQL EDIT command, see SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference.
The ASCII function takes a character (under BS2000/OSD, this will be an EBCDIC character) and returns the numerical representation of that character in the given character set. The ASCII function does not convert an EBCDIC character into its ASCII equivalent. For example, the ASCII function returns the value 193 for the character A. The inverse function is CHR, for example, CHR(193)='A'.
When using the SQL*Plus
SPOOL command, SQL*Plus uses the default output-file suffix,
Note:The output generated by BS2000/OSD operating system commands will not be spooled.
When you issue a SPOOL OUT request, the program issues the BS2000
/PRINT tempfile,ERASE
tempfile is a temporary copy of the spool file. This routes the file to the central printer. If you need to specify any
ORAENV file:
options is any sequence of
/OSD manual, Benutzerkommandos (ISP-Format) for more information about these options). The program then issues a
The SQL symbol used for negation is the exclamation point (!). The use of exclamation point is recommended when specifying "not equal," especially for applications that may be run in different environments.
If no exclamation point is available on your keyboard, then you can use left and right angle brackets (<>) for "not equal."
The SQL*Plus symbol used for concatenation is the vertical bar, "|" (X'4F'). For users with German keyboards, any key that transmits a X'4F' (for example, "ö"), can be used.
When you use the following command, SQL*Plus searches for a file called
filename.SQL under the current BS2000 user ID:
SQL> START filename
If this file cannot be found, then SQL*Plus searches the paths specified by the
ORAENV environment variable
SQLPATH. This variable is used to specify one or more file name prefixes separated by a semicolon (;), which should be applied when you search for the command file.
For example, if
SQLPATH is set to
PRIVATE and
$GLOBAL, as follows:
then, when you enter the following command:
SQL*Plus searches for the command file in the following sequence, until a matching file name is found:
See Chapter 1, " Getting Started" for more information about default file name extensions.
The sample schemas provide a common platform for examples. For more information about the sample schemas and SQL*Plus, see SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference.
See the chapter "Creating and Upgrading a Database" in Oracle Database Installation and Administration Guide for Fujitsu BS2000/OSD for information about how to install the sample schemas.
The limits of several SQL*Plus elements are specified in SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference. The following table defines BS2000/OSD specific limits:
|File name length
|54 (including catalog-id and user ID)
|Maximum number of nested command files
Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Fujitsu BS2000/OSD, you can run SQL*Plus not only in the normal BS2000 environment, but also in the POSIX environment.
This section describes the following:
You can start SQL*Plus in the POSIX shell. See "Starting Oracle Utilities in the POSIX environment" for more information about running SQL*Plus in the POSIX shell.
The SQL*Plus
HOST command enables you to enter a POSIX shell command, without leaving SQL*Plus.
Note:When using the HOST command, remember the following points:
If you enter the
HOST command without any shell command, then it takes you to the shell command level. To return to SQL*Plus, you must use the
exit command in the POSIX subshell.
If you enter the
HOST command with a shell command, then the shell command is executed and then control returns to SQL*Plus.
Use the
bs2cmd POSIX shell command to execute BS2000 SDF commands.
Start a text editor in SQL*Plus with the
EDIT command, to edit an SQL statement.
The default editor depends on the terminal connected with your POSIX session. If the POSIX shell is started on a blockmode terminal, then the default editor in SQL*Plus is set to
edtu. If the POSIX shell is started by a remote X-client through
rlogin or
ssh using a xterm terminal, then the default editor in SQL*Plus is set to
SQL*Plus provides the opportunity to define a preferred text editor with the
DEFINE _EDITOR command. In the POSIX environment you can define a preferred editor. For example, to define the editor used by the
EDIT command, to be the POSIX editor
edtu, then enter the following command in SQL*Plus:
DEFINE _EDITOR = edtu
The editor
vi does not work on blockmode terminals.
The editor
edtu does not work on xterm terminals.

Pictured: Serve Peach Sorbet with slices of ripe peaches for a healthy garnish.
But I must admit that one of the gadgets I have yet to buy for my kitchen will continue to be an ice cream maker. Not because it isn't insanely handy, but because of the calorie-fearing powers it has over me. I have a serious weakness for ice creams, gelatos, and just about every kind of sorbet you can imagine. I know that if I owned an ice cream maker, I would probably gain inches around my waist just looking at it. Fortunately, a friend let me borrow this ice cream maker so that I might test this recipe for you readers.
And the process is insanely fast: about 45-minutes in the machine for freshly made desserts giving me plenty of time to take pictures of Beth Blancher's dog, Chloe.
Pictured: Chloe's sweet Yorkie-smile kept us great company as we made this Peach Sorbet.
Whether making sorbet with peaches, mangos, or any ripe summer fruit, use this easy recipe with everyday ingredients lying around your kitchen (Ice Cream Maker not included).
Peach Sorbet
This recipe comes from Curtis Aikens at Food Network kitchens (here). I found the simple combination of sugar water, fruit, and lemon juice to make for a summery and vibrant sorbet. However, Aikens's recipe yields 4 cups simple syrup even though the sorbet recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups. I've made this adjustment below, but you can easily follow his original (yielding 4 cups simple syrup) and use 5 lbs. peaches and 3 lemons. This will yield a triple batch of sorbet.
*1 1/2 cups simple syrup (1 1/2 cups sugar + 1 1/2 cups water, instructions follow)
*2 pounds peaches
*1 lemon, juiced (can substitute 1/4 cup lemon juice)
1.) Make the simple syrup: combine 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir frequently until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool completely before making sorbet.
2.) Poach Peaches: bring a medium-size pot filled with hot water to a boil. Take 2 pounds peaches (for me, this was 2 *very large* peaches, but will probably be about 4 normal-sized peaches) and score their bottoms with an "x." This will help you to peel the peaches once they've been poached.
3.) When water is boiling, drop peaches into the water and boil for 10 minutes making sure to poke the peaches under the water as necessary. Remove from heat and cool completely before peeling.
4.) Using a paring knife, peel peaches from the score-mark up. Because they've been poached, the peaches should separate from their skin easily. Once peeled, core peaches and add to a food processor. Purée until smooth.
5.) Make ice cream: add puréed peaches, 1 1/2 cups simple syrup, and the juice of one lemon to your machine. Attach paddle attachment and turn on based on manufacturer's instructions for sorbet. For us, this was 45-minutes, but could take up to 60-minutes. For Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers, the process may take up to 2 hours. Whatever device you use, be sure to consult the "sorbet" settings.
Serve with fresh peach slices and enjoy! Makes 6 servings.

Event Information
The Fantasticks
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt's long running musical
Shawnee Theatre of Greene County
July 7-10 and 14-17, 2011
812 384 3559
The Shawnee Theatre has mounted a delightfully creative and engaging production of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt's durable musical The Fantasticks.
The show is a truly theatrical creation made out of what seems to be a patchwork of theatrical sources, from a parody of Romeo and Juliet to A Midsummer Night's Dream, with the wall that separates Pyramus and Thisbee; from a pair of scheming fathers to a mysterious narrator to a bandit called El Gallo.
Daffy Romantics
Melissa Boatright is perfect as the daffy, romantic sixteen-year-old Luisa. She's neatly matched by Andres Enriquez as Matt, her equally clueless twenty-year-old love.
Their fathers, Dave Cole and Martin Gonzalez, are plotting to bring the two together. Their plan depends on the contrary spirit of youth, to stage a feud and build a wall to separate their homes.
To further cement the bond between their offspring, the parents arrange for the mysterious El Gallo (Brian Quijada) to stage an abduction of Luisa, so that Matt can sweep in and rescue her. The first act ends happily, with the lovers and the fathers in a happy tableau under the moonlight.
As the second act begins, the sun begins to bake the quartet, and the romance comes unraveled as the thinly staged plotting of the fathers falls apart. Matt sets out to experience the world, and Luisa seeks romance in the arms of an only slightly unwilling El Gallo. Matt, Luisa, and both their fathers are all a bit battered, but having become more worldly, they're allowed a second–and considerably wiser–happy ending.
An Eloquent Mute, An Actor Who Mixes His Roles, And An Ersatz Indian
Throughout this production of The Fantasticks, one of the most eloquent characters is played by Nigel Brown. As the mute, Brown never says a word, but he's a key player in every scene, smoothly mirroring the emotions of the other actors, moving set pieces, and even dancing in harmony with some of the action. Also much appreciated are Josh Sazon as Henry, the ditzy old actor, and Luke Shares as his dramatic "Indian" partner, Mortimer.
It's a strong cast all around, both in the acting and the singing. One could ask for a bit more legato from Matt and El Gallo, but that would be a quibble. And things in the middle of the second act seemed to run a little long, but that's an even smaller quibble.
Roger Smith and Laura Young-Helms at twin keyboards were a very effective orchestra. Brandon Bruce's direction, with choreography by Heather Michele Lawler, was always cleverly inventive and yet flowing. If you've never seen The Fantasticks, this is a good production to start with. And if you're familiar with the show, it's well worth a revisit.
At the theatre for you, I'm George Walker

It is very important to make sure that your personal presentation and hygiene
is at the highest standard when working within a salon. Personal presentation as
a hairdresser or beautician is very important as it is the first impression a
client gets of you. If they don't like the look of you, it is unlikely that they
are going to feel comfortable and may not trust you to complete the treatments
they require. Also if you do not trust the person who is going to be taking care
of you on that particular day, chances are when they go to apply many of the
exotic and expensive skin treatments they really won't be caring about your
well-being. Your image is also supposed to reflect the industry.
When you look
professional and tidy it suggests that you take pride in your workplace and what
you do. If you look unprofessional and scruffy it suggests that you don't care
about how you look and your work place.
The client may get the impression that
you may not care about them and potential customers may avoid getting any kind
of service from you.
Hygiene = Professionalism
Personal hygiene is also very important in a salon because bad hygiene can put
clients off from returning to your services even if they are impressed with the
treatments you have given them. Body odor is one of the main concerns in
personal hygiene in a salon, when you are performing treatments on a client as
you are leaning over the client a lot and it is very uncomfortable for the
client. You should want your client to feel happy and relaxed at all times
during a treatment in your salon. Making sure that you are wearing a clean
uniform and clothing everyday also helps to prevent body odor.
Dirty hands and
fingernails are another very important aspect of hygiene in a salon, as it could
mean that you could be carrying infections and infestations from one client to
the next. To prevent spreading infections like this you must make sure that you clean
and sanitize your hands after every client.
Use Uniforms to Keep Up Appearance
You may not think it but a uniform is also a big part of personal presentation
and hygiene when trying to maintain health and safety. Wearing open toed shoes
can be very dangerous when working in a salon as you can drop products and
equipment on your toes. Personal protective equipment is also very important not
only for the client but for you as well. Aprons can protect yourself and your
clothing from products.
Aprons can also help to keep your uniform clean which
also helps your overall presentation. Wear gloves during treatments and even
while washing hair, as it can cause you to get contact dermatitis if you don't
use them. Dermatitis is a skin condition where the skin becomes red, swells,
itchy, or develop skin legions. Allergens and toxins, when they come in contact
with the skin, can cause this general skin irritation.
Comfortable Employees Means Comfortable Customers
Making sure that you follow all health and safety acts in a salon is very
important to ensure that you and everyone else that enters the salon are safe,
and that they feel comfortable. There are so many different aspects of health
and safety in a salon they go from being aware of spillages and breakages, to
making sure that all clients have had a patch test before any treatment.
maintaining a professional appearance that is both fashionable and hygienic will
ensure that your customers will return for services again and again.

When I saw the Frou Frou cardigan in the Happy Hooker book, I fell in love with it. But alas, I suck at crocheting, so I have been waiting for a similar knitting pattern. I found this one today, and it's free! I thought I'd post it just in case anyone else has been waiting for a knitted FrouFrou-like cardi.
Disclaimer: Sorry if, for whatever reason, this shouldn't be here or it's already been posted, etc.
