On the evening of October 29, 1969 the first data travelled between two nodes of the ARPANET, a key ancestor of the Internet. Even more important, this was one of the first big trials of a then-radical idea: Networking computers to each other. The men who symbolically turned the key on the connected world we know today were two young programmers, Charley Kline at UCLA and Bill Duvall at SRI in Northern California, using special equipment made by BBN in Cambridge, Massachussetts.
The development of the ARPANET, which had no commercial application at the time, underscores the power of coordinated basic research and the importance of that research to our society. help for parents In the 1960s, computers were not interconnected and most were not even interactive. A few research groups were looking at the potential of networked computing and how distributed systems might be used as information repositories and collaboration tools, but they were hampered by a huge obstacle: they lacked a network to weave their projects together.
Bill Duvall
A major internet milestone occured on November 22, 1977. On this date the first known three-network transmission took place among SRI International, Menlo Park and the University of Southern California via London, England. The networks involved were the ARPANET, the Bay Area packet radio network, and the Atlantic packet satellite network.

Bob Metcalfe led invention, standardization, and commercialization of the Ethernet local-area networking system for personal computers (PCs). In this discussion, Metcalfe is joined by Cisco Senior Vice President Kathy Hill to discuss his experiences in the technology industry, life lessons and current passions.
Internet History Program
CHM's Internet History Program preserves materials on the history of computer networking, including the Web, the Internet, and the ideas that led up to them. Launched in 2009 by founding curator Marc Weber, this is one of the first programs of its kind at a major historical institution. The scope includes both technical history and impact on society. You can help the program identify materials world wide in need of preservation including software, screenshots, and oral histories.

There's always some colon-tickling moron with his thumb so far up his asshole that he can poke his own bellybutton from the inside and god help me, but I love making fun of these guys. Instead of polluting Laurie's blog, I decided to do it on mine -- with a post dedicated to just to you Anonymous Former Reader!! (Queue applause)
The original post was about how Carla is making antifeminist remarks and tarnishing people's opinion of women's rights everywhere because she's model idiot, and here were a few comments.
- A result of too many Botox injections? Love your writing.
- Sorry dear, but in France, "bourgeoise(e)" culturally identifies the man or woman who is a member of the wealthiest social class of a given society; and their materialistic worldview"…
- What an ugly article. I won't be back to the paris blog. Grow up and realize your vajayjay isn't the most important thing in life.
@aspivack - thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it more than former anonymous humorless reader who thinks (rightly) that I'm obsessed with my vajayjay. Who wants to take bets that's someone with a very small penis? Anyone? Bueller?
@Moira - Webster strikes again! Damn those dictionaries!! Why do we even use them. Let's just make up our own description, "People who describe themselves using this word are obvs really rich people too busy living their fabulous lives to give a shit about normal people." :) Probs more accurate.
And now the cream. Since 'Former Reader' won't be back and will sadly miss out on this post, I'll just go out on a limb and say anyone who has the brass balls to use the word "vajayjay" in a sentence which clearly demonstrates their sense of humor is as lively as a wet blanket should look into having that cucumber removed from their ass.
Sorry Laurie, another one bites the dust! More fun for us!

Just Because They're Video Game Characters Doesn't Mean They're Not YOURS
I know this video is old news, but earlier this week, a discussion with Deyndor on Twitter about domestic violence reminded me of it. Ignore the really, um, silly, article containing the video. For those who didn't watch the video (I'll confess I didn't have the heart to watch it either), it's a girl deleting her boyfriend's WoW characters. Anyone who enjoys dramatic threads in the customer service forum knows this kind of thing happens all the time and isn't overly shocking.
What weirds me out is how the perception people have of this.
"Oh, she must not have known how much characters can mean to a person."
"It's true, World of Warcraft can be very addicting."
"It's not a big deal, characters can be restored."
Maybe the story needs to be told in a different way:
This girl went uninvited into her boyfriend's personal space and broke his stuff in an effort to control him.
Sure, it's not as spectacular or as sickening as pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs, but it's still a form of violence. It's disrespecting your partner's personal space, it's trying to control someone and it's putting yourself in a position of power over them. A romantic relationship isn't a parent-child relationship. Neither person has authority to "confiscate" anything from the other.
Maybe the abuse in that video's relationship will stay at the deleting WoW characters level, maybe it'll escalate, who knows? I sure as heck wouldn't stick around to find out.
Would I be upset if a boyfriend deleted my WoW characters?
I'd be devastated. Not over of the missing pixels on my screen (after all, those can be restored easily), but over losing the trust I had in that person. Over realizing that this person has no regard for me or my personal space. Over discovering that someone I cared about would want me to be distressed.
I've dumped boys over less. I'd rather curl up with the vibrator every night for the rest of my life than have to put up with that kind of bullshit. (Vibrators are much lower maintenance anyway.)
On Having a Partner that Plays Too Much
I'm not disregarding the frustration that comes from disagreeing on "how much is too much" when it comes to gaming. Even though I'm a gamer too, I've seen been in the "ITS NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO WORK MY ARSE OFF AND ALL YOU DO IS SIT AROUND AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES" camp many, many times. (I'm sure I've been in the opposite camp as well, but guys don't complain about that stuff much.)
The thing is, when we're not talking about video game addiction (I'll get into that later), it's up to both partners to find an acceptable solution. Trying to control the other person doesn't work, or, at least, it doesn't work in a very satisfying way.
There are plenty of ways to go about it. I had a guildie who was fine with raiding only one night a week. Another reserved Friday and Saturday evenings for elaborate date nights. Another had a wife who actually encouraged his gaming so she could get dibs on to the TV remote control. And Honorshammer once wrote a beautiful post about being a gamer in a healthy, happy relationship. (Even if the religious context doesn't strike a chord with you, what he says is still applicable to non-Christians.)
Just like any other aspect of a relationship, communication is key. And if you can't come to an agreement, you're either not compatible, or one of you isn't in the right state of mind for a serious relationship. You probably notice it other aspects of your relationship too (whether you admit it or not) and character deletion isn't going to change that.
When Addiction Comes to Play
There are entire books written on gaming addiction, and I'm no addiction specialist, so this is going to be short and superficial.
Any type of addiction is a sad occurrence. It's devastating for the addicted person and it's devastating the friends and families losing the person they love. Unfortunately, though, it's up to the addicted person to realize they're out of control and to take the measures needed to rebuilt their lives. Sometimes it takes losing everything. Oh, from the outside we can let our friend know where they can find us when they're better and be supportive and encouraging when they've decided to get a grip back on their lives. But ultimately, it's their lives and they're the ones who have what it takes stop the downward spiral. We can't try to drag them back up, or cling to them as they pull us down with them.
Again, character deletion isn't going to fix anything. Unless you're in a position of authority (hint: in a relationship, you're not), taking the object of addiction away from an addicted person accomplishes nothing but turning them against you. (And when you are in a position of authority, you still turn them against you.)
It's Not About the Game
The bottom line is, invading a partner's space, betraying their trust and trying to control them without their consent is wrong and not conducive to a happy relationship. True, video game characters don't cost anything, aren't essential to your day to day life and are easily restored. So what? They're still your belongings and if having your stuff destroyed is your idea of a happy relationship, well… I got nothing.
On the flipside of the coin, as a gamer, if you're not interested in investing yourself in a relationship and putting your partner's needs first, then don't. Society tries to drive into our heads that two-manning life ALL THE TIME is the only acceptable way to live, but that's a load of crap. There's nothing wrong with being single if you feel like being single. And there's everything wrong with making commitments you're not interested in keeping.Explore posts in the same categories: Internet Anthropology

Oh yeah! Think of it this way: what if your significant other read your e-mail. Even if you had nothing to hide, and it was just basic boring correspondence, it's YOUR e-mail.
Saying it's JUST a video game is also belittling to your partner's feelings – it would be like saying it's JUST a bowling league if he was really into bowling. Or had a collection of something you find dumb. Partners don't get to judge each others' hobbies or they're setting themselves up for hurt.
Now, having said that, hijacking your partner's toon, dressing it in silly clothes, and parking it in the middle of nowhere is just fun 😛
Actually, I've never done that. A sappy story, if you will. Arcanetinkertank really loves polymorph, in all forms, and it's a source of pride for him that he has the turtle. He has a polymorph:random macro for funsies. One of his childhood friends died, and he went away for the weekend to the funeral (I stayed home with Twig.) While he was gone, I transferred some money from one of my toons, got on his mage, and bought and learned polymorph: cat. When he got back, I challenged him to a duel, claiming to be testing something, and had him polymorph:random me. Poof, I'm a turtle. Then… A CAT! That cheered him up a little. I know, I know, random story – but the point is that in-game stuff totally matters!
July 30, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I'd be devastated if someone deleted my characters for any reason. It's frustrating that because it's WoW-related, the hideousness of her crime is justified or even comical.
I think it's hard for people to realize how much she's violated his space because 'a GM can fix it'. Because the solution is 'painless' digital restoration, the act is trivialized. But let's be honest here, it would be an entirely different discussion had she deleted something that wasn't a video game: what if she had destroyed his digital art gallery or unarchived his self-help blog? What about physical damages, if she took a crowbar to an engine he built or burned a decade of his poetry notebooks?
She knew how to hurt him the worst, and she did. The world may think its silly to be so worried about the video game characters, but it's not the characters, it's the trust.
July 30, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Very well written piece. I'd compare characters to someone's personal art, or models, or the like – something that took a lot of personal time and effort, even though they aren't "valuable" in the conventional sense. You're also totally right about the bigger issue being the betrayal of trust and malicious intent behind any such action, regardless of the actual specifics.

I am trying to migrate documents to http://latexlab.org, but they won't compile because they require expl3.sty. Yesterday I started by uploading all of the expl3 sty files but then latex demanded even more.
I would be happy to do without expl3, but I can't determine what packages are calling it.
note: While writing this message, I realized that the xfrac package (see siunitx) was the culprit.

DescriptionTerra Canis CLASSIC menus are comprised of a high proportion of muscle meat (this includes classic muscle meat as well as heart and stomach, which are muscular hollow organs), a low proportion of high-nutrient liver and lots of fresh, healthy vegetables, fruit and herbs. Only nutrient-rich, light, easily digestible, gluten-free pseudo-grains (millet, amaranth, brown rice) are used in very low amounts that are easy for the dog to digest (4-10%). Natural additives (seaweed, mineral clay, eggshell powder, pollen, rose hip, Andean salt, brewer's yeast) supply important vitamins and minerals. High-quality linseed oil, which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, is the perfect way to round off these meals. All raw materials are 100% human-grade quality. The menus are suitable for all adult normal-weight dogs of every breed.With the concept 'Dog nutrition in 100% human-grade quality of all raw materials', Terra Canis set completely new quality standards in the pet food industry 15 years ago. Thanks to a special permit from the Bavarian Feedstuffs Authority, pet food was able to be produced for the first time in a genuine human-grade quality company, the traditional Munich butcher's shop Schäbitz. This was made possible by the fact that, right from the very start, only raw materials were used which, thanks to their freshness and quality, were officially approved for human food products at the time of processing. This uncompromising quality and the associated delicious, appetising smell of the menus have set Terra Canis menus apart from all other products on the market from the very beginning.Due to the constantly increasing demand, the butcher's shop in the heart of Munich has reached its capacity limits.As quality is of the highest priority for Terra Canis, the menus will now be produced in our new factory just outside Munich.Manufacturing the products within "our own four walls" enables maximum control over the quality of raw materials. In addition, the three master butchers from Schäbitz butcher's in Munich and their entire team have been brought over, bringing with them decades of experience and expertise in the butcher's trade.All the raw materials used, the production site and the hygiene concept are subject to 100% human-grade standards.Complete food for dogs.
CompositionTurkey heart (60%), turkey muscle meat (20%), natural rice (10%), turkey liver (7%), linseed oil, eggshell powder, brewer's yeast, dandelion (0.3%), mineral clay, seaweed (0.1%)
Meat : natural rice : other raw ingredients = 87% : 10% : 3%
Analytic ConstituentsProtein: 10.6%, fat content: 10.4%, crude fibre: 0.3%, crude ash: 1.1%, moisture: 70.9%

Feeding RecommendationDog's weight - Feeding recommendation/day:
(Adult, normal-weight dog)
5kg 200 - 300g
10kg 400 - 500g
20kg 700 - 900g
30kg 1000 - 1300g
Approximate values to be adjusted to your dog's individual circumstances (exercise area, activity level, breed, metabolism, time of year).
We recommend regular weight checks.

Introducing the VOLKsHouse
VOLKsHouse is a response to America's overuse of energy resources and the typically higher cost of green construction. Based on energy-conserving Passive House technology, it was built to prove that eco-construction can be fully cost-competitive with traditional construction and to pioneer healthy and affordable green housing. Designed by award-winning WAMO Architects in Santa Fe, it is the first certified Passive House on the New Mexico market using 90% less energy for heating and cooling, costing 6.5% less per square foot to build than a conventional home and designed to give power back to the grid. Energy performance is monitored daily and financial records will be audited to verify savings. VOLKsHouse is the third cost and energy-saving WAMO Passive House and plans are being developed to build sustainable housing in cooperation with the New Mexico Housing Trust. VOLKsHouse sets a baseline for driving down construction costs, serves as a model for training and educating builders, establishes new standards for affordable housing, and unlocks economic potential for the expansion of green living and eco-construction. If a Passive House uses far less energy and costs less to build, there's no longer any reason to build anything else.
Partner and Investor: Bob Schneck, Director, VOLKsHouse, NY
Architects: Vahid Mojarrab, WAMO Studio, Santa Fe, New Mexico
Project Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico
Construction Cost: $161 per square foot
Total Estimated Sales Price: $415,000
Estimated Site Energy Use: 0
Completion Date: April 2012
The VOLKsHouse is a site-net-zero single family residence being built in Santa Fe New Mexico. The project has been designed to exceed Passive House requirements for certification which serves to bring the overall projected energy use down by approximately 85%. An integrated solar thermal system is designed to provide 100% of the remaining heating and domestic hot water needs. The balance of energy use, mostly due to domestic use such as lighting and cooking is generated by a small PV solar system. All of this is currently under construction for approximately 20% less then typical construction costs and is designed to meet the the financial needs of workforce Housing in our area.
Please follow along as we detail the project and construction techniques used in Passive House construction, as well as discussion of how an integrated approach to sustainability can lead to dramatically reduced construction costs.

In Indian hospitals, over 50% of bacterial infections are now resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Surveys have shown that many widespread pathogens in India are also resistant to powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics. In 2010, a team of scientists analyzed bacterial infections in New Delhi and found that 24% could resist the hospital's last resort intravenous antibiotics, carbapenems, and 13% had a super-resistant gene, New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase 1 (NDM-1), that conferred resistance to carbapenems and 14 other antibiotics.

Science enthusiasts, rejoice! Carl Sagan's classic television series Cosmos, considered by many to be one of the greatest science series of all-time, is returning to television, reports Deadline.
The Cosmos refresh, officially titled Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, is being produced by self-professed nerd Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy. And the 13-episode series will be written by Ann Druyam, Carl Sagan's widow and a writer/producer on the original series, along with astrophysicist Steven Soter.
Standing in for Sagan as host will be famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Having Tyson onboard with the new series not only ensures that it will be up to snuff for even the most avid science fans, but his relative celebrity (he's been on The Colbert Report multiple times, for instance) should help draw in viewers.
Perhaps the most peculiar thing about the new Cosmos is where and when it will be airing. Rather than appearing on a channel like Discovery or National Geographic, Cosmos will run on none other than Fox (not known for its promotion of science), and will reportedly have a primetime slot — a rare thing for a show devoted toward serious scientific thought.
The deal with Fox is reportedly due to MacFarlane's long-running relationship with 20th Century Fox, which helped him create the Family Guy franchise.
"Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species," said MacFarlane in a statement.
"We should be vigorously exploring the solar system by now, and who better to inspire us to get there than Ann Druyan, Steven Soter, Neil deGrasse Tyson and, of course, Carl Sagan."
The show's producers tell Deadline that the new Cosmos will tell "the story of how human beings began to comprehend the laws of nature and find our place in space and time. It will take viewers to other worlds and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience."
Cosmos is set to air sometime in 2013.

The Underworld, also known as Hell, is the bottommost Biome in the game, reached by digging past the Stone Layer. The Underworld can easily be differentiated from other biomes due to the background wall changing to a lava vein pattern.
The Underworld contains mostly intact buildings called Underworld Houses, which may contain Pots, Hellforges, and any kind of chest. Prior to 1.2, these houses were frequently very damaged or partially complete. The Underworld is the only biome where Hellstone, Ash Blocks, Hellforges, Fireblossoms, and Shadow Chests may be found. Healing Potions can be found in Pots instead of the Lesser Healing Potions that tend to be found in other areas. Additionally, it contains stronger enemies than most other pre-hardmode biomes.
The Underworld begins at around 1000-1500 on small worlds, 3000-3200 feet on medium-sized worlds and around 5000 feet on large worlds, but it may start at around 2000-2500 feet in medium worlds in some instances.
|Bone Serpent
|Able to travel through lava and all blocks (except air).
|Fires Demon Scythes at you.
|Fire Imp
|Can shoot Fireballs through blocks to hit you.
|Can fly.
|Lava Slime
|Swims in lava without being harmed.
|Voodoo Demon
|Just like a regular Demon; drops the Guide Voodoo Doll when killed, which will summon the Wall of Flesh if it falls or is dropped into Lava.
|Red Devil (Hardmode)
|Similar to the Demon, but fires much more powerful tridents. Also has more health.
|Arch Demon (Console)
|Essentially the same as a standard Demon, but shoots more Demon Scythe projectiles at a time, spawns less frequently, and does not drop the Demon Scythe spell.
|Wall of Flesh
|This is a summonable boss (Toss a Guide Voodoo Doll into lava to summon).
See Wall of Flesh article for details.
Reaching the Underworld
Early game, you will find that as you explore caves deeper and deeper, you will eventually hit The Underworld. This, however, is not very effective as if you wish to frequently revisit The Underworld; it may take 5-10 minutes traversing the caves to reach the Underworld.
Once you have the time and resources, it is well worth the time to make a Hellevator. This is essentially a 2 block wide hole that goes all the way down to The Underworld, allowing you to jump in and wait as you fall all the way down.
- Note: If you don't have a fall damage negating item such as Wings or a Lucky Horseshoe, make sure to place a few blocks of water at the bottom so as that you don't take any fall damage.
While it is debatable whether it is worth the time and money, a Teleporter from your house to The Underworld is by far the fastest way to get down there. However, depending on the world size, this can cost several platinum coins.
Recommended Items
There are several items that are highly recommended to bring whenever you visit The Underworld.
- Cloud in a Bottle/Balloon (or other double-jumping items) and/or Rocket/Spectre Boots
- The Underworld is filled with large pockets of lava that can be difficult to get over without the assistance of a double jump and or boost.
- Grappling Hook
- Very useful for a quick save, to avoid taking a dip in the lava pools, as well as getting you out of them as quickly as possible. It's also useful for getting over those large pockets of lava mentioned earlier.
- Obsidian Skull/Horseshoe/Shield
- Lava Waders
- As of 1.2, the Lava Waders are one of the best accessory to bring to the underworld. Not only do they allow the player to walk on the surface of lava unharmed, they also allow the player to take brief dips (up to 7 seconds) into lava without harm.
The only ore available in the Underworld is Hellstone, which is used to create Molten Armor and other molten items, which is the highest tier of armor and tools available before activating Hard Mode. Upon contact with Hellstone ore, the player will receive fire damage, which can only be prevented by equipping an Obsidian accessory, like the Skull, Horseshoe, Shield or Water Walking Boots (the latter three are created by tinkering the original items with the Obsidian Skull at a Tinkerer's Workshop).
The most important thing to note is that mining Hellstone will spawn approximately half a tile of lava for every block mined out. As such, it is advisable to always keep at least a one-block-thick wall of blocks between oneself and the ore being mined. Ash Blocks are found abundantly throughout the Underworld and will serve very well for this purpose. If attempting to mine around smaller lava pockets, it is best to dig out additional sections in order to cause the lava to flow elsewhere, out of the way, rather than attempting to tunnel through it in any fashion.
Always keep at least a one-block-thick wall between oneself and any lava pockets or ore deposits being mined to avoid being surprised by a sudden lava flow, and ending up dead.
- Placing 50 Meteorite will stop underworld monsters from spawning, and replace them with Meteor Heads.
- It's highly recommended for players to take Obsidian Skin Potions or Water Walking Potions to avoid lava damage.
- The very bottom of the Underworld has an invisible boundary like the far left, right and very top of the map.
- Fireblossom, Daybloom, Waterleaf, and Blinkroot can grow in The Underworld. It may be possible for Moonglow and Deathweed to grow as well.
- The Underworld is the only biome where Hellfire Arrows and Shadow Chests (a rare chest that contains rare items) may be found.
- When you start traveling along the Underworld, leaving the area with the houses and closer to the edges, the spawn rate of monsters gets noticeably higher. This is because the majority of the monsters spawn either in lava (Slimes) or in empty space (Demons and Hellbats).
- The amount of Lava in the Underworld is finite, so it's theoretically possible to remove all the lava down there by turning it into Obsidian if you've got sufficient supply of Water.
- Any water left stagnant in pools will evaporate in the Underworld, and although a glitch makes it possible to have pools, removing blocks around the water will cause it to evaporate.
- Heart Crystals are far easier to find in The Underworld than in other Environments.
- It's possible to encounter Monsters from the Cave layer or from the Underground Jungle.
- You can find it easier with a Depth Meter or GPS.
- In the Console Version, Hellforges will spawn in the lowest areas of The Underground rather than in the Underworld itself.
Update Info
- Underground Houses have been completely redesigned and now feature furniture, paintings, banners and doors.
- Underworld Houses can now be made from Obsidian Brick.
- Water now evaporates once it reaches The Underworld.
- Decreased spawn rate of monsters.
- New monsters added.
- Increased spawn rate of monsters.
- Added to the game.

When it was announced that Lifetime was planning to make a made-for-TV biopic about the late Elizabeth Taylor starring Lindsay Lohan, we scoffed at the idea based on Lohan's pre-production track record.
But it looks like Lifetime IS serious about the movie, and they have former "Transformers" star Megan Fox in their sights as well.
The film's executive producer Larry Thompson made no secret of his wish list.
U.S. & World
"I've been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan Fox," Thompson told E! News.
He added, "It's a very serious selection. It's like casting for Hollywood royalty."
So...Fox vs. Lilo. Who ya got?
Both actresses need a comeback role so badly they're stopping just short of standing in front of Mann's Chinese theater with homemade "Cast Me" signs. We'll see who wants it more. On the surface, we can see Fox looking the part of young Liz more than Lohan. Plus, Fox has the added bonus of not being a terrifying insurance nightmare, and not having pending court dates. The worst Fox will do is bad-mouth the director afterwards.
The film, which is working under the title "Liz and Dick," is scheduled to start filming in the Spring.

Since I have been living and breathing working heroic hard mode Hodir, and I'm a little sick of thinking about him, I thought I would save my thoughts on him for tomorrow.
Today, however, I have a bit of fun!
One of my pastimes when not playing wow is reading. I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on! Reading is a good way to relax from raiding, and get away from the game for a bit, while still staying mentally intrigued. So I thought that perhaps I would randomly give my thoughts and suggestions about good reads that I come across. Now, I'm no Oprah, but I will do my best to make good recommendations! And hopefully get some good recommendations in return!
I generally quite enjoy any sort of mystery novel and a good bit of science fiction/fantasy. So, after some prodding from Brade and a few friends, I decided that I would pick up the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, Dead Until Dark. Now, this is the first true "vampire" fantasy literature that I have ever read, so I am not entirely certain how the rest of the genre plays out, but I did enjoy this book.
Sookie is a waitress is a small Louisiana town who happens to be telepathic. She can read people's minds. It's a cumbersome task just making it through her day to day responsibilities without invading anyone's privacy. But does provide for some very humorous commentary. This town also just happens to get it's very first Vampire, Bill. Vampires are "out of the coffin" and trying to mainstream in public with humans. Bill is a very gentlemanly vampire, and quite genial. Throughout the story he and Sookie develop a fondness for each other. The book follows Sookie and Bill throughout a number of tribulations, including unraveling a series of "whodunit" murders that rocked Sookie's small town. (A murder mystery in disguise! My type of read!)
I found the novel to be refreshing, funny, and sharp. I would certainly recommend it as reading to anyone else who is looking for something to read. I would give one caveat, however, there are portions of the book that made me…ah, blush a bit. It is nothing overly graphic, or crude, however I have not so much as ever picked up one romance novel in my entire life, and suffice it to say that my usual murder mysteries don't have a lot of "romance" in them. I just don't want it to take anyone else by surprise as it did me =)
So, if you are looking for a good read after your raid, I would very much recommend this book! I liked it enough to pick up and start reading the next book in the series.

Sinofsky's departure 'a clear blow' to MicrosoftNovember 13, 2012: 1:19 PM ET
Microsoft stock could remain under pressure as investors consider the ramifications of Windows chief Steven Sinofsky's sudden departure from the company after more than 20 years of service.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) dropped more than 5% early Tuesday to $26.75, the lowest level since January. By the afternoon, the stock pared some of the losses, but was still down about 3%.
Sinofsky's exit came as a surprise, coming just two weeks after Microsoft's launch of Windows 8, which has been radically redesigned and considered to be a key to Microsoft's future success.
"We think this is a clear blow to the company," said Brad Reback, Stifel Nicolaus analyst, in a research note. He noted that in addition to overseeing many of the company's core products, including Office and, most recently, Windows, Sinofsky was also considered to be a potential successor to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Given Sinofsky's central role at the company, Reback expects Microsoft's shares could fall further in the near-term.
Related: Microsoft's $3 billion man
Over the long haul, however, the loss may not be all bad, Reback said.
"While we are disappointed to see the company lose someone with Mr. Sinofsky's skills, we had heard for some time he had a very polarizing personality and had issues effectively working across groups," said Reback. "In fact, over time we believe this change could drive increased collaboration across groups, more rapid development cycles, and help Microsoft more effectively compete against Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG).">
Plus, given that Sinofsky's departure comes so soon after the release of Windows 8, the company has plenty to do before it has to start worrying about releasing its next Windows product. And Sinofsky is being replaced by Julie Larson-Green, another Microsoft veteran. So operational disruption within the Windows unit should be kept to a minimum.
One big question the shake-up poses is who will eventually take the helm from Ballmer.
"There's a camp of investors that would like a broader change at the very top of Microsoft," said David Hilal, analyst at FBR Capital Markets. "Without having Sinofsky as a potential successor to Ballmer, some investors will interpret that to mean that Ballmer will be around longer than they would like, and they won't be pleased with that."
And without Sinofsky, there's no other obvious successor.
"Microsoft has lost a lot of its most senior management right below Ballmer--it's been a bit of a revolving door there for the last three years," said Hilal. "So it's hard to say who's going to come next."

DETROIT – Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been ordered to make larger monthly payments towards his restitution to the city.
The Michigan Department of Corrections released the new conditions of Kilpatrick's restitution on Thursday.
He had previously been paying back $160 a month, but that has now been raised to $500.
The new payment goes into effect on April 1.
He's also been told he must complete 16 to 20 hours of community service each month and has to provide a complete accounting of his monthly expenses to his probation officer.
Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and resigned from office in 2008 after he lied at a civil trial to cover up an extramarital affair with his chief of staff, which was exposed through a series of graphic text messages. That lawsuit cost Detroit $8.4 million.
Kilpatrick was imprisoned in May 2010 for failing to disclose assets and surrender sufficient funds that could have reduced his $1 million restitution to Detroit. He was released Aug. 2, 2011, and has moved to Texas with his wife and three sons.
The new conditions are:
Prior to March 1, 2012, you must provide the Parole Agent a full accounting, including gross sales and net proceeds for the period commencing from your date of parole through February 29, 2012, from the publication titled Surrendered The Rise, Fall, and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick. This includes any books or money received by Aktion Enterprises. Commencing March 2012 and each successive month thereafter, you must provide the Parole Agent a written update of publication proceeds.
Disclose any and all agreements with and provide copies to your Parole Agent of any entity or person in which Kwame Kilpatrick's intellectual property rights are negotiated, transferred, assigned or in any way implicated by said agreements.
Effective March 1, 2012, and each month thereafter, you must provide the Parole Agent a complete accounting of your monthly household expenditures and income. Should your monthly household expenses exceed your monthly income, you must provide a written explanation of how these expenses were paid.
Effective April 1, 2012 each month thereafter, you must pay a minimum restitution payment of $ 500.00.
Effective March 1, 2012, you must perform 16 hours of community service each month, providing provide written documentation to the Parole Agent each month that the community service has been successfully completed.

You're not anyone in this business unless you have your own tablet. But one isn't enough for Lenovo, which just launched a triple whammy of the 10.1-inch tablets we first caught wind of last month.
The IdeaPad K1 and the ThinkPad Tablet are both Android 3.1-powered slates that score a tablet first being Netflix-certified. The K1 is your average Android tablet with Nvidia 1GHz dual-core guts and a 1280x800 screen. You can also expect the usual tablet accoutrements: dual snappers (2MP and 5MP), a miniHDMI port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. As an incentive, Lenovo has rammed in 40 apps including Need for Speed Shift, Kindle and everyone's favourite angry avian game, alongside interchangeable covers for a more personal touch.
While the K1 is more run-of-the-mill, the ThinkPad has a boost in spec to accommodate its business-orientated nature. It may sport the same screen and processor, but expect a surprisingly long list of connectivity options – HDMI, USB 2.0, micro USB, 3-in-1 card reader and a SIM card slot – as well as an optional stylus.
The 32GB IdeaPad K1 is priced at US$500 – which the more eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed is the same as a 16GB iPad 2 – and will be available in August. The ThinkPad on the other hand, is available in 16GB and 32GB flavours for US$480 and US$580, respectively, with a 3G model to follow suit shortly afterwards. Impatience getting the better of you? Both are available for pre-order right now. As ever, the rest of the world will be playing a game of catch up later on in the year.
Finally, there's the IdeaPad P1, powered by Windows 7 and a 1.5GHz Intel Atom CPU. Available in both 3G and Wi-Fi flavours, the P1 can support up to 2GB of RAM and like its Android sibling works with an additional stylus. While no pricing details are available, it's expected to put in its official appearance in the US towards the end of the year.

Welcome to Atlanta Tile Cleaning!
Tile, with its versatility and durability, has increasingly became popular in both the residential and commercial atmospheres. Although, like carpets and other type floorings, tile needs professional attention from time to time with cleanings. Tile is commonly found in entries, restrooms, kitchens, and other high traffic areas of homes and office.
Our #1 complaint is always the grout lines and how dirty they can get.
Microscopic pores allow dirt and other contaminates to become trapped below the surface, where they can't be removed with regular mopping. The dirt continues to build up inside those spores, leaving tile and grout looking dark, dirty, and discolored. This diry grout build-up also is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, mold and mildew. Most don't realize it but a dirty and soiled mop is usually the worlds worst contributor for this appearance.
Hand scrubbing with harsh cleaners can be ineffective, not to mention, time consuming and extremely labor intensive. Atlanta Tile Cleaning can fully restore the natural beauty of your tile and grout using the latest cleaning technology and a hot water extraction system.
A Word About Our Services ...
We use a high pressure, high temperature cleaning method with spinning brush action powered by truck mounted extraction units to dissolve and force the dirt out of tile and grout. Our system allows us to remove years of build up from your flooring with ease thanks to our top of the line cleaning solutions. We then apply a protectant sealer (if desired) to help protect and extend the life of your tile. You will soon see a dramatic improvement in your tile and grout before your very eyes once we begin!
And all this will be completed at a reasonable price to save you time, lots of hard work, and money! When finished your floor can look like new!
Atlanta Tile Cleaning specialize in tile and grout restoration, sealing, stripping, high speed buffing, scrubbing, and waxing.
Guaranteed Quality Services
We call back all of our customers the very next day to verify that everything was completed satisfactorily. If there is anything wrong within the first 5 days, give us a
and we will happily come back and make it right.
Latest News
April 14th, 2007
The past few months, Atlanta Tile Cleaning has heard multiple clients requesting an online credit card payment option be available on our website. As of today, we have implemented the additional payment option per your request and hope this will help all new and existing clients in the future. If you have any issues paying online, please let us know.
Thanks, Staff
Atlanta Tile Cleaning came out to restore my tile & grout to its original glory about a month ago. I must say they did an excellent job and left no mess for us to clean up afterwards. Your services are great, keep up the good work and a few of my friends will be in touch with you very soon.

DescriptionIn the first Uncharted Waters game, it was the 15th century and the New World was discovered. Now in New Horizons, it is the early 16th century and the age of exploration and sea trade is underway. Players choose from any one of six adventurers (scenarios), each with their own distinctive but intertwining plot, to embark on a quest of sailing, seamanship and exploration. The six characters are:
- João Franco is the son of Duke Leon Franco, the hero of the first Uncharted Waters game and an influential man in Portugal. His father wants to make him into a strong man and so decides to send him out to sea. Young Joao is tasked with learning the skills of the sailor (he is the only character who starts at level one) and embarking on a quest of discovery; reaching the far east and eventually looking for the secret of Atlantis.
- Catalina Erantzo is a Spanish naval officer who believes her beloved and her brother were both murdered by the Portuguese armada. Vowing revenge she turns to a life of piracy and soon becomes a red haired scourge of the seas.
- Pietro Conti is a indebted man, having inherited the financial woes of the Conti family. When the Duchess Franco hires him to spy on her son, he accepts the job and obtains a ship. Pietro hopes to use these resources to seek out valuable treasure and clear up his family's debt.
- Ernst Von Bohr is a geographer who is teaching classes in Holland. He yearns to leave the classroom and sail the high seas, living a life of adventure that he has only read about in books. When his friend, Mercator offers to finance his initial voyage in exchange for cartography information about the world, Ernst is given the opportunity to live out his dream.
- Ali Vezas is a poor orphaned child living in Istanbul and serving others. He dreams of becoming his own master and making his own fortune across foreign lands. A twist of fate aides in providing him with small loans, with which he is able to afford his first ship and sail out with a cargo hold full of goods...
- Otto Baynes styles himself a Royal Knight of the British Empire, in the service of his majesty the king. Promoted to Admiral of the British fleet, the kingdom is worried about the increased naval power of Spanish fleets. Otto is given a letter of marque by the king and ordered to terrorize the Spanish Fleet. Equipping himself simply at first, Otto strives to become a great privateer in the name of king and country.
During naval combat, the game becomes a turn-based top-down strategy game, with the player moving ships in order to obtain trajectories needed to fire cannons at enemy ships, or run alongside enemy vessels in order to board them. If the player's flagship attacks the flagship of the enemy fleet, they can challenge the opponent to a duel. If accepted, the game changes to a side-view of the two captains engaged in a fight. During this sequence, the player can only choose which fighting maneuver (strike, thrust, parry, lash) they wish to engage in.

There are currently no topics for this game.
AnachronismThe game takes place in the 16th century, but the city known as Istanbul in the game doesn't take this name until 1930. It should be called Constantinople.
BugsA bug in the game's programming may cause half to 3/4 of your crew to suddenly vanish into thin air while you're sailing.
Version differencesDue to Nintendo of America's policies on religious imagery and usage in games, the US versions of the NES and SNES editions of the game have the "Houses of Worship" area of ports changed to "The Round Earth Society". The option there that lets the player "Pray" has also been changed to "Study", however both versions of the game allow the player to donate money towards the organization.

Chanel's time would never have existed without the Parisian artistic brilliance in which Gabrielle Chanel lived.
Painters, musicians, poets, choreographers, photographers and filmmakers were all part of her life sharing the same creative spirit. Very early on, she understood the highly demanding nature of artists, their tenacity to give form to their thought and above all, to challenge time: to produce a body of work around one's difference.
The five themes of this exhibition - Origin, Abstraction, Invisibility, Liberty and Imaginary - go deeply into the historical background of the values of CHANEL, striking a chord with the fundamentals of the life story of its creator.
Here, manuscripts, drawings, photographs, precious objects, rare documents, fashion designs, perfumes and jewelry come together to reveal a unique landscape made of secrets, sentiment and inventions: a cabinet of curiosities that would have had the shamelessness to open itself up and where art has nothing more to say than what exists in its close relationship to the objects revealed.
Thus, the works become a wise, sensitive and sometimes unexpected contemporary companion to the imaginary element within Gabrielle Chanel's creations. From a cubist cut up to the construction of a garment, from a musical score to a perfume, from a poem to a piece of jewelry; all these are part of a complete, historical and cultural creation.
Together they constructed a story, transmitted messages, never ceased airing their points of view, exchanged their languages, strived for a new set of aesthetics, invented new freedoms, grasped, marked, designated and projected a future, to which they measured up, and became the irreversible signs of a unique historical and cultural experience that was missing in the world.
Preface of the book "Culture Chanel". Published for the exhibition in Beijing that was curated by Jean-Louis Froment, this trilingual edition in French, English and Chinese is available at the Éditions de La Martinière, Abrams and Artron.

EDT:Tutorial: RUI With DataBase Lesson 2
Access a database with EGL Rich UI
|< Previous | Next >
Lesson 2: Set up the projects
An EGL application is organized in one or more projects, each of which is a physical folder in the workspace. A project contains an EGL source folder that is provided for you, and that folder contains one or more packages, which in turn contain EGL source files. This hierarchy is basic to your work in EGL: a project, then an EGL source folder, then a package with EGL source files.
The EGL source files include EGL custom types, which are type definitions that you create. For example, a Service type contains logic, and a Record type can be the basis of a variable that you declare in your Service type.
Packages are important because they separate types into different contexts, or namespaces:
- A type name might be duplicated in two different packages, and any EGL source code can reference each type precisely. The main benefit of namespaces is that different teams can develop different EGL types without causing name collisions.
- Each type name in a given package is unique within that package:
- A type in one package can easily reference another type in the same package by specifying the type name. For example, here is a declaration of a record that is based on the Record type named MyRecordType: myRecord MyRecordType{};
- A type in one package can also reference a type in a second package by giving the package name and type name, or by a shortcut that involves importing the type.
One project can reference the types in a second project, but only if the EGL build path of the referencing project identifies the referenced project. Again, this tutorial gives examples. However, in all cases, avoid using the same package name in different projects, as that usage can cause problems in name resolution.
Your next task in this tutorial is to create the following projects:
- PaymentService
- Holds an EGL Service type and related definitions
- PaymentClient
- Holds the Rich UI Handler types and related definitions
- PaymentShared
- Holds types used both on the Web client (the browser) by the handlers and on the Web application server by the EGL services.
You can include all your code in a single project, but the separation shown here lets you easily deploy the two kinds of code in different ways.
Types in one project can use types in a different project. EGL uses a build path to search for unresolved references. Later in this lesson, you will add the service project to the build path for the client project and the shared project to the build path for both the service and client projects.
To create the project that contains shared types:
- If you have been working with EGL in the current workspace, click File > New > EGL Project. If you have not been working with EGL, you might need to click File > New > Other and then expend EGL and click EGL Project.
- On the EGL Project window, enter project name PaymentShared, click template Basic, and click Next.
- On the EGL Settings window, accept the default values and click Finish.
EGL creates a project named PaymentShared. Note the folders inside the directory:
- EGLSource
- Put your packages and source files here.
- EDT System Libraries
- Access the read-only type definitions that are already provided.
- src
- Put any custom Java source files here. These files are not overwritten during the generation process.
- JRE System Library
- EGL uses this folder for JAR files that support the Java Runtime Environment.
Once you add your first EGL program, the following additional directories will be added automatically:
- generatedJava
- EGL places the Java files it generates here.
- EDT Java runtime
- EGL uses this folder for JAR files that support the EDT Java Runtime Environment.
Create the PaymentService project
To create an EGL service project:
- Click File > New > EGL Project.
- On the EGL Project window, enter project name PaymentService, click template Basic and then Next.
- On the EGL Settings window, check Override Generation Settings, uncheck JavaScript Generator, and click Next.
- On the EGL BuildPath window, check PaymentShared (the service project uses types in the shared project)
and click Finish.
- Change In the Java Build Path, add PaymentShared as the required project.
This step ensures that the output generated for PaymentService will be able to access the output generated for PaymentShared.
Create the PaymentClient project
An EGL Rich UI project includes many shortcuts to speed the development of a user interface for the web.
To create an EGL Rich UI project:
- Click File > New > EGL Project.
- On the EGL Project window, enter project name PaymentClient, click template Web 2.0 client application,
and click Next.
- On the Web 2.0 Client Application Settings window, accept the default values and click Next.
- On the EGL BuildPath window, check PaymentShared and PaymentService (the client project uses types in the shared and service projects) and left click on Finish.
- Configure the Java Build Path of the project by adding the required service project.
EGL creates a project named PaymentClient. When you first add a Rich UI project to your workspace, two other projects are added automatically:
- org.eclipse.edt.rui.widgets_versionNumber; and
- org.eclipse.edt.rui.dojo.remote_versionNumber or (if you are developing a mobile application) org.eclipse.edt.rui.dojo.mobile.widgets_versionNumber .
The two projects provide access to widgets and other definitions that you use when creating a Rich UI application.
The folder structure for the PaymentClient project includes the WebContent directory, which contains support files such as cascading style sheets (CSS) and images:
Lesson checkpoint
In this lesson, you completed the following tasks:
- Created an EGL project for developing types that are used in both in the service and the Rich UI application
- Created an EGL project for the services used in the application
- Created an EGL project for Web 2.0 Rich UI pages to be used in the application
In the next lesson, you will
- Set up the database connection
- Create the database table
- Create a Record type, retrieving most information from a database.

Now that summer is here, it means we've got plenty of reasons to celebrate — Father's Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, pool parties, backyard barbecues, you name it. But what's the most important part of a great summer party? The food, of course! Here's a fun, festive and easy-to-prepare snack for summertime entertaining.
Mexican layer dip seems to be a staple at many parties during these warmer months. Why have one dip when you can have multiple in one big bite, right? Well here's a twist on the original where Mexican layer dip gets an injection of Texas barbecue flavor, thanks to Stubb's Legendary Bar-B-Q sauce and rub.
For this recipe, I blended Stubb's Spicy Bar-B-Q Sauce with some black beans, onion, garlic, and cilantro for a smoky and slightly spicy kick to the dish. To take it up another notch, I mixed Stubb's Pork Rub into the sour cream layer — it features chili pepper, paprika, and lime, and is a perfect complement to the other flavors in the dish. The result is a Tex-Mex barbecue makeover that's sure to have you and your guests wishing you'd made a second batch. The black bean dip and spiced sour cream are even great on their own as solo dips if you're in need of quick-fix appetizers.
Try this out for your next fiesta and you'll surely be asked to make it again.
Check out the recipe on Stubb's Legendary Bar-B-Q's website!
