Pretty darn sneaky GOOG. Do you really have to resort to this to hijack someone to Chrome? Accuracy of GOOG search is definitely questioned here and gives rise to how much truth is actually tweaked.
Sigh. I try to avoid commenting or referencing public marketing furor over Microsoft because I am just not a cult-fanatic or hold a religious view on technology (for Goodness sake - Get a life ...) BUT the story that PervX ran that says: "Black Screen woes could affect millions on Windows 7, Vista and XP" is really saying something about the responsibility issues that comes with technology journalism.
Gosh - really, is there nothing we can do about this ?
Obviously, PervX was made to eat their own words. They issued a public apology to Microsoft but there is obviously still a sense of denial in between the lines.
Ed Bott says it best here and how I wished this furor they caused stays with them for a long time until redemption time comes. As what Ed says in his closing para: "As for Prevx, they deserve to be laughed out of the security commmunity for their role in this fiasco."
I read with amazement at how Google is allowed and could be bestowed a patent for their iconic search home page.
No, dont get me wrong, this is not about Google and I always give credit where it is due BUT gosh - I am very sure that way before Google, there were a few that came up with this UI design. I believe I saw Yahoo! Search page way before Google. While it may not be the same, I am quite sure the design principles are the same.
In my years of IT project developments and deployments, I am sure I have seen many of my teams' designer engineers come up with the same principles into database full-text search, Index servers, etc
In any case, this is interesting and this does change the patent strategy for many companies, doesn't it ? I wonder if Bing would do the same for its background images. Furthermore, to enable users to allow that to be turned on or off is itself a "patent-able* design, wouldn' it be ?
Gosh, I think I am in desparate need for some new empty bookshelves ...

I am left speechless at this. Really. Simply astounding ...
Lumbar Spine Report (13 February 2008):
From playing a lot of competitive basketball back in my varsity days in Canada in the late-80s/early-90s as a point-man to getting the above report in my envelope is somewhat depressing, I am getting old ...
I had talked about Yahoo! Pipes here. It didnt take long (well, maybe longer than some of us would like ..) before MSFT Corp came up with something even better ... AND I mean real better with Silverlight and the works.
I have played around with it and I am IMPRESSED and HOOKED. Upsize my mashups, please.
While Microsoft Popfly is still in alpha, you can still check it out here. To find out what it actually is, there is a good demo-ONLY video here.
Welcome to the Social.
Now, aint this cute ?

This one got me laughing in stiches. Not so much about how ridiculous it seems, but with the latest acquisition Google has made, who knows - maybe they will value and acquire MSFT Corp at USD120 billion.
I would probably put money on them that they would also probably be the first to be able to value the Internet. Well worth a read.
Windows Home Server will be one of the better well-kept secret products that will be ultra-cool once its released into the wild. You can go here for a brief animation overview. The official Home Server Team blog can be found here and the forums here.
Some of the interesting briefs include:
This is not a product based on the Windows Server 2003 codebase. It's a consumer-oriented product that is quite similar to Media Center Edition, in that it's less of an "edition" of Windows Server than it is a special application (like Media Center) that runs atop a version of Windows.
There are, of course, many features on this server but what I love best about it is placed on emphasis here:
I dont know about you but my living room is ready ...
I had just broken my own budget this year already (and therefore I am not getting me or anyone anything this coming Christmas) ... Too bad ...
After rounds of spec'ing and phone calls with my special DELL contact, I officially accepted the quotations ...
Like I said here, I am going all out this time around as most of my machines had run its 3+ year course and I am getting it all ready for Vista as well as the upcoming Longhorn, or Windows Server 2008, or whatever PLUS the High-Performance Computing (HPC) of Virtualization Technologies (VT), etc.
So, what kind of goodies did I end up with for being much poorer (even though I got a great deal on DELL for the pricing) ? Here it is - all X64 bit Chips (Core 2 Duo and a Dual-Processor Dual Core XEON Pro)
OK - Now that I have the metal, now its time to look at some nearby (I dont think I can afford the gas to travel that far ...) banks for a quick heist for the greens.
I spotted this advertisement across many major lamposts outlining the major roads to the WorldBank/IMF Bankers and Governors meeting held in Singapore this month.
While the entire country prepares itself to welcome about 22,000 delegates with security precautions, road closures, road re-paving and tons of marketing dollars and campaigns to showcase itself to the world such as this, I felt that the poster above is done in an amateurish way.
One glance at it and I bet my last dollar the instinctive reaction is that Savvy Bankers use Intellectual Property. While I agree with the context and meaning of the message, I would question how its targetted.
In any case, I, and the rest of the world, would be wrong. A closer look at the icon on the bottom right corner reveals a Cisco, Inc logo:
which effectively means, Savvy Bankers use Internet Protocol !?!? That would explain why there portray of an image of a person trying to surf (wirelessly). I would suspect that Cisco, itself, is supplying the networking equipment and infrastructure to make sure anyone and everyone can surf wirelessly around the meetings and events.
That, however, would not explain the obscurity of the advertisment and its message. Gosh, I would think TCP/IP is an obscure abstract now that no one else would need to know of it even though it is the major underlying internet transport protocol.
In fact, I would argue - the more savvy you are, the less you need to know about about the plumbings. How many people would (want to) know how their household plumbings work and the standards involved other than that they can turn on the tap and do wonderful things with it ?
In the same context, I am betting that the SOAP protocol would be obscure one day as well and just be known as "Web Services" or whatever flavour rule the day.
Now, which would be a better advertisment ?
Great agile applications use SOAP ?
Great agile applications use Web Services ?
I rest my case - the marketing people who came out with the image shown above should be canned. No questions needed.
OMG - Spare me. You have got to be kidding ... Lets just move on.
So ...
Mr. Setag goes over to Mr. Nezihc's little cafe-library called "Cafe Eboda" in Tonmeerf and bought a cup of coffee. Mr. Setag then sits down with his coffee and proceeded to pick up some publications to read from the Cafe's Library. He was, however, abruptly stopped by Mr. Nezihc who refused to allow him to read those in-cafe publications unless Mr. Setag pays for it.
Mr. Setag was taken aback. Arent those magazines free to read. Everyone else here is reading it and I dont see them paying for it. Isnt this an open library ?
"Well, yes", Mr Nezihc replied. "But because your wallet is bloated, I think it is only right that I charge you if you need to read those publications."
"That is absurd", Mr Setag retorts. "It is not my fault that my wallet is bloated. In fact, given anyone else, they would love to have my bloated wallet as well, or try their very best to empty it through some legal means. This has nothing to do with the fact that I used to be your boss before, right ?"
Mr Nezihc: "No, like I said - I am charging you only because your wallet is bloated. The rest of the folks here are not as rich as me, therefore, I dont charge them a single cent ..."
Mr Setag: "OK. I will just bring in my papers to read then. How about that ?"
Mr. Nezihc: "Nope. You have to use ours and you have to pay for it ..."
Ridiculous ? Only happens in undeveloped countries ? You say ?
Well, if you believe the content here is true, then I dont think this is any different.
Jonathan Zuck of Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) sums it up real well with the following quote:
"Adobe seems to be realizing that open standards have costs as well as benefits. While opening its technology to the world helped Adobe to spread Acrobat far and wide, it also limits its potential business models and incentives to continue innovating. The problem for Adobe is that they can't put this genie back in the bottle"

Have anyone of you signed in to Mobile Passport on your PPC ? The above screenshot is what I see on mine.
Some people would argue that so it is to make it easier to get right typing it in multitap the first time or that it is easier to prevent people from prying eyes on a PDA.
I beg to disagree. Isnt that one of the reasons why there is "Remember Credentials" ? It is like saying - If you cannot type and you have a sucky memory, please dont type. In fact, there is a new option called - "Always ask for my username and password" in the defacto Passport mode for the security conscious :) I just find it too much of a drastic change to remove all these options (in the mobile mode) and NOT use masked passwords instead. It gives the sense that the teams creating these logins are so disparate and so different in thinking and there is not a single philosophical approach. Arent we talking about People, Technology, Integration and Seamless Experience recently ? The worst thing is that - the Masked Passwords (*) are so commonly accepted these days that it is becoming some sort of "self-imposed" standard. Thousands of sites, mobile or not, are using this "standard". Why is Microsoft one of the first (if not, the first) to change that ? I hardly think making it correct the first time typing is a good enough reason to change that and this cannot be categorized as innovation.
MSN and Hotmail are all social sites which means that it is catered for people like my parents and grandparents and such and not for the geekiness. The bulk of the people dont really know what the S in HTTPS stands for and dont really care and would never want to care how it works. To them - The masked passwords is really part of the secure experience although we know that it is more of a placebo more than anything else. I wonder how will the masses react when they see that their passwords are not masked anymore, even though there is still an S in HTTPS.
I remember running a test before on a workshop on consistency, standards I conducted a while back. In this test, I reversed the order of the username passwords inputs of the (HTTPS) Login screen to the effect of this:
Password: ________________Username: ________________Login Button
The strange thing about the whole result is that: Most people will stop after entering the first character in the Username field. They will rub their eyes to make sure they are NOT seeing things. Besides the fact that they realized they are prompted for their password FIRST - which is NOT consistent. Most of their responses will be "Why is my password NOT secured ?" Of course, if you are reading this, it is likely that you know that the little stars (*) have nothing to do wih security or encryption. In fact, more often than not, it gives people a False Sense of Security. Many people will still post their passwords, thinking it is secure, when it is masked with little stars (*) and there is NO HTTPS.
My point is that - whether or not security is involved here - it mars a user's perception and his or her experience. I just tested it with my wife and she refused to login - thinking it was "one" of the bugs on a Microsoft site. - And Yes - she is the normal one in our marriage :)
I had a good Aussie friend of mine test this on his accountant wife as well and this was the conversation:
He: Would you use this screen on your phone?She: Why are you asking?He: Just curious…Would you use this screen on your phone?She: Where are the little stars for the password?He: DunnoShe: No way… something is wrong(He did not influence her answer)
Does this mean that the masses are normal or that I am just a prude ?
Is this *really* intended behavior ? The least I would do - is to offer this as one of the options as part of personalization.
To add to this, I am recently in the market looking to upgrade my current ADSL package running at 1500kbps and I came across an ad saying this ISP will give a free ADSL2+ Wireless modem if I sign up for a 10mbps package. Sounds good. I proceeded to call.
Pleasantries exchanged...Me: "So, you are giving me a free wireless modem, correct ?"She: "Yes"Me: "Is it just plain wireless ? I mean is there a wired option ?"She: "The 10mbps ADSL Transmission speed will only work with a wireless modem..."Me: "huh ?"She: "Yes, because the speed is too fast, we can only use this wireless modem."Me: "What has the ADSL Upload/Download speed gotta do with how I connect the modem to my router?"She: "I am sorry, Sir - you *HAVE* to use the wireless modem ONLY"Me: "Wait - I dont think I am getting this. I know I need a ADSL2+ modem for the blazing speed of 10mbps, but if it only comes with a wireless option, how do I connect to an existing network of computers, routers that are NOT wireless-enabled"She: "In that case, I recommend you to get a Wi-fi card. These are cards that ... ... ..."Me: "Wait, I dont need an education in Wi-fi. I just need to know what do you tell your calling and interested customers who wants this blazing 10mbps speed and accepts they need a new ADSL2+ modem BUT has no Wi-fi network, equipment to play with or tap-on"She: "I told them - Sorry Sir/Madam. Our advanced ADSL speed requires a wireless option. If you dont have one, it wont work at all and you have to go for a slower ADSL speed. Sorry."...
I decided to check the ADSL modem brand that is given to subscribers and went into the manufacturer's site to look at the specs ...
"...All our ADSL2+ modems comes with a wireless option PLUS 4-Ethernet enabled RJ45 Ports ..."
Gosh. I wonder how many customers has she turned away with her knowledge that the ADSL Upload/Download speed is directly tied to the mode at which data is being transmitted from the modem to the connecting machines.
Polite as she can be, I admit, BUT if I have a sales force of people like that, I will NOT be able to make any money at all to pay them.
<sigh /> End of rant.
I remembered talking to someone on the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF, previously - Indigo) team before and the reason they chose [MesssageEncoding].MTOM instead of MessageTransmissionOptimizationMechanism is so that it could *at least* fit on a slide.
Well, that someone obviously didnt educate the developer who build the [MessageSecurityVersion]. WSSecurity11WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10 property. [Talk about a mouthful]
Not only is it hard to fit on a slide, it would be hard to mouth those words as well.
Besides "bug jail", "secure-programming courses", "geography lessons", I would highly recommend Microsoft engineers and developers go for "Power-Point Presentation Etiquette 101" lessons as well .
Speaking of which, I just got handled an exception with a message like this:
The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a0d28 to COM context 0x1a0e98 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.
Talk about being explicit. Exceptions should give a friendly message that enables one to have an idea where to start debugging and troubleshooting. The one just made me want to shut my machine down. .
Singapore has just announced an bold ambitious move to wire up the entire nation with a extremely high speed backbone that would move data in speeds beyond 1Gbps, or 500 times the common access speed of 2Mbps with the use of optical fibres or other technologies. Most of the crowded centres and streets would be "WI-FI"-ed by late this year.
My dream of having the entire nation being one BIG hotspot would be coming true in probably a couple of years time.
I have heard that the term "disconnected applications" will be thrown out of the window in Singapore very soon .
Ah - the wonders of living in a [garden] city-site.
Many people I know, especially my wife, knows how hard I work to drive myself. A lot of people that I work with know that as well.
If you want additional proof: I have been issued the standard company higher-END laptop IBM T-40 a couple of years back together with a few of my colleagues. Their screens are working fine. Look at mine now. The screen pixels are burnt out, faster than I am. Yes, I know thats what screen-savers are for - BUT I am never off the screen long enough for it to be activated. That alone will show how much (DEEP) documentation I am reading or (BAD) code I am reviewing.
I really hope this is a great excuse to justify to the company that I work too damn hard and should be justified to get another new laptop such as this beauty OR a Pay-Raise ...
Of course, no prizes for guessing I prefer the latter.
AJAX, Maps and all the cool works
OMG !!! I think this is the hardest I have ever laughed ever for a long long long time.
It just brought tears to my eyes.
I just broke the piggie, took what has been accumulated in there for the last 2 years. Add that to the bank I just robbed and therefore it looks like I will be there.
I have been receiving business and technical content on CDs / DVDs for years and I have always taken for granted that CDs / DVDs are very durable media types. I mean, have you ever tried breaking a CD ? It is not easy and cannot happen just "accidentally".
I was wrong.
I received this (See below pictures) in my mail (by a reputable courier) 2 weeks ago. It was packaged in a plastic envelope and not in a hard box and was damaged in transit ... The damage is actually much worse than it seems in the pictures. Lessons learnt:
I dunno --- I think 1 GB is already a lot. Now, we have 2 GB !
When will the war hit the breaking point ? When it reaches 1 TB ?
Pat Helland, a favourite speaker of mine on Service-Orientation and someone whom many regard as the Architect's Architect is joining Werner Vogels in Amazon.
Is there a brain drain in MSFT Corp ? OR is it just a process of making way for newer ones ?
Pun intended on the word "Galestorm" in this post title.
What strikes me most is the fact that if you read between the lines further, you will noticed that Google and Amazon got mentioned in the same breath. Doesnt that sound eerily familiar ?
What is happening to our PROFESSIONAL tagline in our Singapore Professional DotNet Usergroup ?
We are getting very strange new languages asking for help and even worse (?), people like these feel so natural about it and some others do not hesitate to defend and ask everyone else to try to find time to understand it as it is the way to go (?)
I take the liberty to Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V some snippets here. I hope Douglas Adams of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Wierd Science - The Babel Fish) get me a Babel Fish soon.
hi every 1i am new to sql server and i dint noe how to let the server start to run on my PCcan some 1 direct mi how to do thatanother qn i had is how to set data i wanted to the database similar to using microsoft access databasecan some1 direct mi too thanz alot =============================================
Anyone here tot/dream of a 'Tech/IT' startup or already doin it?anyone wanna discuss issues pertaining to these?
Eg1) ideawat kinda of business wud u be interested in?wat business do u think has potential?wat do u think is hot currently ? or wil be hot in the next few yrs ?
well... mayb not jus local .. consider goin global as well..anything under the sun on tech startups....
ok...let me start....1st....since im currently preparing for a possible startup...
well...i feel one critical issue is...finding/assembling the core team of people...why?a) its hard to find partner who is willing to commit, has simliar goals n willing to sacrificei believe nothing great can b achieved wo sacrifice.. eg personal life, lower income or no income for sometime, etc etc
haa... im also like tat... working at irregular hours...all my past jobs r flexi hours.... or rather...my past bosses had accept flexi hours arrangement w me...always late to reach office...n work til late at night...when everyone had left...
i like ur component based idea... i guess... one way is to properly architect a certain project, n sub-out/assign the different modules/components to freelancers/subcontracters..however... i guess it also depends on the nature of the project as eg hw-sw linkedprojects r difficult to 'componentised'..
hmm... n i guess.. theres also the integration difficulty n answerables n expertise in architect...i can guess why most coy avoid these since a) they can make a subcontractor answer more easily to whole project than a componentb) let the subcontractors handle integration issuesc) perhaps the coy do not hav enuf expertise in architecting complex projects n sosub out whole project n let sub contractors do the designing...
however , if a coy has its own architect n intergation engineers...component-based contracts wud b viable..
agree... complementing skills r hard to find indeed...n one thing i feel abt knowing people thru networks...is tt u dunno them enuf......unlik frens or former colleagues...well... there is certainly some risk + give n take...we all know or hav heard how political things can get in any startup bussines... even w frens...it may b tricky at times...perhaps its all parts n parcels...of running a bussines...n learning...
i feel killer app n business acumen is not enuf...or rather.. its the beginning....the execution is when core team players come in...need diff skillsets... such as marketing/sales, tech skills, managment, etc etc...even tech skills alone.. alreadi need diff skillsets if it involves diff disciplines...
cash flow problem....hia....tats where investros come in...but i guess... in startups... theres lots of 'make do' situations n compromising....eg using free/cheap tools instead of full-fledge ones...
how abt ideas on bussiness?
infact... im jus interested to hear the pt of views from IT people...as im from embedded sw background... really know nuts abt IT industry...my ideas r often related to hardware products...
for eg... rite now... i see opportunities in -providing middlewares-providing reference designs-designing productsbased on some in 'Emerging Technology/area'
Eg of emerging tech/area-wifi-n, wimax, zigbee, wireless usb-homenetwork, homeautomation-securities industry : eg survillence, biometrics (i see tat video survillience is under goin a 'generation' change stage... which is an opportunity...jus lik 2G->3G)-n even dsp areas...(theres been lots of developement lately in the industry)-n voip etc etc...
yeah... n the problem w emerging tech is tat... u need to hit the market at the rite time- too early n u hav to b able to sustain cash flow... thou u hav more time to 'maturiese' ur ip n market ur expertise...- too late u wil hav less chances...
moreover... i feel there w be more 'convergence' betw embedded n IT services... eg video-on-demand...etc etc... im sure there wil b more to b discovered...
how abt IT side??? really dunno much abt IT...
hahaa... i tot the short hand i use r alreadi the common ones...unlik other local forums...really
well... if there is another person who complain abt my short hand... than i wil try harder...cos i had found it natural n quick to write in this way...
if my grammer n vocab incorrect... its due to my poor command of the language...so pls pardon me on tat... cos i use too much machine langauges...haa...jus joking...
ah..the 'weight thing'.... well personally im not so concern over such things in forum...but thx...i wil take note of tt...
apologies for giving u guys dazy eyes

Almy: Plenty of time for fishing in fall
Right now you're probably concentrating on bagging a few doves, figuring out the flight patterns of the local resident geese, or getting your archery gear ready for deer season. But don't forget fishing just because hunting seasons are starting to arrive.
Many species of gamefish are biting throughout the state and should feed heavily for at least another month or two. Here are some of the top rivers and lakes to try right now.
Shenandoah River: One of the best places to wet a line in September is the Shenandoah River, according to local guide Harry Murray, of Edinburg. The river temperature is dropping off from the 80's into the upper 70's and that has smallmouths feeding strongly. Murray recommends streamers fished deep or surface poppers early and late in the day.
James River: This river offers deep pools, swirling eddies, riffles and boisterous rapids that hold a bounty of fat smallmouth bass. Lately a number of fish up to 20 inches have been caught, mixed in with lots of 10-14-inchers. Fly rodders are scoring with nymphs and poppers. Spin fishermen are using curly-tailed grubs, crank baits and soft plastic jerkbaits twitched just under the surface. Expect lots of redbreast sunfish and rockbass to smack these lures also, and you may latch onto a few sassy catfish as well.
Kerr Reservoir: This lake straddling the North Carolina border is also called Buggs Island. But whatever name you give it, the fishing here is excellent now. Deep crankbaits are producing on points and drop-offs along with soft plastic lures such as grubs, worms and jerkbaits. As waters cool a bit, switch to spinnerbaits and topwater plugs fished up in the button brush and willows along shore. Crappies are a bit slow now, but will pick up as waters cool and take minnows around bridge pilings and outer edges of shoreline brush piles.
Stripers are being caught trolling with large minnow plugs with small jigs attached 18 inches behind them. Look for fish in the main lake near points and along river channel edges.
Anna is also the scene of terrific bass action. Use large plastic worms during the heat of the day over deep-water structure, along with grubs and deep-diving crankbaits. If you make the two-hour drive from the Shenandoah Valley early enough and are out on the water at dawn, cast topwaters and soft plastic jerkbaits to cover along shore for some fast surface action that should last about an hour.
Crappies are swarming around most of the lake's bridge pilings. The best way to catch these fish is to probe water 8-14 feet deep with small chartreuse chenille jigs or live shiners. It won't take long to fill a live well or cooler with these tasty silver, black and white panfish. Fillet them and sautee in lemon and butter for a mouth-watering treat or scale and fry up whole.
Bluegills are hitting worms and crickets or small sponge spiders on a fly rod. Small to medium catfish are also biting well on the lake with cut bait or nightcrawlers.
Moomaw Lake: Less than three hours down I-81 from the Valley, this clear mountain lake is a good spot for big brown and rainbow trout. Fish live shiners 20-40 feet deep, sight cast to cruising fish on the surface or troll with small spoons and Rapalas.
As waters cool later in September, head towards the coves where shad are congregated. The stripers will follow them there and nab one-fourth to three-eighth ounce bucktails with a saddle hackle tied in along the flanks for extra fluttering appeal.
Smith Mountain is always exciting to fish because besides the stripers there are excellent populations of small and largemouth bass, crappies and bluegills, plus a smattering of walleyes and muskies. You never really know what's going to strike on any given cast. That definitely keeps the excitement level high.

Eric Vosmeier, producing artistic director of the Know Theatre, will leave his job after the 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
Andrew Hungerford, scenic and lighting designer for both Know and the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, will take over beginning July 1.
Vosmeier says he's ready for a change and isn't sure what he'll do next. The long transition time, he says, is the result of his own difficult experiences taking over as artistic director in 2009. He doesn't want Hungerford to experience the same difficulties in just getting up and running that he did then.
As for why he's leaving now after eight years with Know?
"It's simply time to move on and make way for someone else," Vosmeier said. "I believe this place demands a fresh perspective and new ways of thinking. The best way to accomplish this is to step down and allow those different voices the opportunity."
Matthew Lafkas, president of the Know board of directors, credits Vosmeier for being a "thought leader" in the theater community.
Cincinnati Fringe Festival attendance has increased from 4,500 in 2007 to 8,500 in 2013, all during Vosmeier's tenure. The Fringe is one of Vosmeier's passions, and that's why he's staying through the next one.
Hungerford's work is well known to Cincinnati audiences. He's been with Know since 2007, with Cincinnati Shakespeare since 2010 and has a master's in lighting design from CCM. He'll continue to be based in Los Angeles, but spend about half the year in Cincinnati.
Hungerford, speaking by phone from Detroit, said Vosmeier's focus on stabilizing the company – both financially and in the physical space – will allow him to pour more of his efforts in the creative and collaborative sides of the theater.
"Eric's put in so much energy into keeping the theater together," Hungerford said. "Now there's a real store of potential energy. It will be my job to help Know become the best version of itself it can be."
Hungerford envisions a future Know Theatre "Where artists around the community can come to play." He wants to provide new theater for Cincinnati audiences and provide actors, designers and directors a chance to collaborate and experiment with different types of theater.
Vosmeier says Know hopes to hire an associate artistic director, a position vacant since he moved into his current job in 2009.

Moravia, Iowa
Honey Creek Resort State Park at Rathbun Lake
[ 7/10 ]
This is a new RV park and resort built by the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources. The RV park as well as the whole resort is still being finished, but what we experienced indicates it will be nice. All the sites are easy to get in and out of. The streets and sites are all paved. Many have a view of the lake. There is a lot of space between your neighbors. Presently there is no landscaping or trees to provide shade or screening, but I'm sure it's planned. There are no shower facilities. For friends without RV's, the resort has 28 cabins (1,2 & 4 bedroom units) near the RV park and a 105 room motel. The lodge/motel has 2 restaurants (full bar), an indoor water park, and over 4300 sq. ft. of meeting rooms. In addition there are boat ramps, beach, walking/bike trails and an 18-hole golf course. Your rental fee includes four passes per day to the water park. We will definitely stay here again.
West Bend, Wisconsin
Lazy Days Campground
[ 1/10 ]
Unlike the previous reviewer, we stayed here, but never again. The owners need to spend more time maintaining the park. The sewer connection was just a hole in the ground, in fact I had trouble finding it because the grass hadn't been cut for weeks. Water and sewer were together, but the electric was on the other side. The sites are not level, are narrow, and not clean. The best sites (and there weren't many) are taken by seasonal renters. The owners made sure you knew if any rules were broken, they would not hesitate to kick you out. Yet, the family next to us had 2 dogs, that left their "calling cards" on our space. The old campers, motor homes, and broken down cars made us feel like we were camping in a salvage yard. We're new to RVing, so we haven't stayed in a lot of parks, but this one was the worst (so far).

The VLTOR SCAR Receiver Extension / Stock Adapter
Provides length-of-pull adjustment and is elevation adjustable for use with or without optics. Providing a more rigid stock solution with proven performance and compatibility with all standard M-4/AR-15 collapsible stocks, this non-folding replacement is light-weight and includes QD sling swivel sockets allowing for additional attach points. Available in black or Patriot Brown, fits both light and heavy models. Available for both semi auto and select-fire models.

I installed the receiver extension and added the Magpul Acs stock and has made a great gun even better. The stock is now sturdy and professional. I would recommend to all that has a Scar to install this unit. Best purchase that I have had in a long time.

Awesome upgrade for the FNH SCAR rifles. very sturdy and great little hiding place in the tube. Highlt recommend this if you want to change out the factory butt stock.
Posted by Philip on 20th Jan 2014
This stock adapter works exactly as advertised. The quality is excellent. It feels much more solid than the OEM stock on the SCAR. In my opinion you can get a better cheek weld with an AR style stock too. If you dont mind loosing the folding capability this is the way to go. Looks great too.
Posted by Sierra November (military SCAR 17 user) on 6th Mar 2013
After receiving this part and trying several different types of magpul and Vltor stocks, I believe that this part should be mandatory for any SCAR user/ operator. It allows you to refine exactly what cheek weld you want, lenght of pull and everything else you can get with an M4. Anyone who is complaining about the moon boot stock that is standard can replace that one with this in under 5 minutes. Loosen it all the way, slide it on, adjust it to where you want it, tighten it and add your stock. Done. It is rock solid, will not move and you can adjust it to the millimeter of where you want your face in relation to your optic. Probably the best SCAR aftermarket product there is.

Knowing COM+ Will be Crucial for the Transition to .Net,
Says O'Reilly Author
Sebastopol, CA--After writing code in Visual Basic almost exclusively
for seven years, author Jose Mojica had a moment of epiphany. He
realized that the same features that made VB ideal for rapid
application development also shielded developers from the details of
the underlying architecture. As Mojica explains, "After seven years I
felt I knew Visual Basic really well, and that I understood COM
development. That was until I signed up for a contract to write COM
components at a much lower-level using ATL and sometimes just plain
C++. I realized, then, that I didn't really know what COM was about.
What's more, I found a number of good sources written for C++
developers, but only one or two books that really talked about the COM
architecture, rather than about how to use COM components. In fact, the
C++ COM authors seemed to know more about how VB worked internally than
the VB authors."
This discovery led Mojica on a fact-finding journey that ultimately led
to his writing COM+
Programming with Visual Basic (O'Reilly, US
$34.95). According to Mojica, he wanted to write a book that would
guide a developer who knew very little about COM through the
architecture of COM at a low level, and explain how Visual Basic maps
the architecture to language paradigms. Mojica begins by explaining the
progression from COM to DCOM to MTS, COM+, and finally .NET.
For those developers who question learning about COM+ with .NET on the
horizon, Mojica cautions, "Visual Basic .NET is a brand new language.
It is going to radically change the expectations of VB developers. In
many ways, the things you will have to know about the runtime and about
the way the architecture works will be the same things that C++
developers programming in C# will have to know. By the end of next
year, if Microsoft is successful with its deployment of .NET and your
company adopts it, your programming job will be very different. It is
my opinion that you should start learning things now. This book will
help you with both the COM+ side and the transition to .NET."
Mojica approaches the subject matter of his book from a low level,
discussing topics that are rarely described in VB books. The first part
of his book explores COM internals in detail, covering such topics as:
The second part focuses on incorporating individual COM+ services into
COM+ applications, including:
Mojica concludes by discussing what developers need to learn to
transition to the .NET framework, looking at incorporating COM+
services into VB.NET applications, as well as how to use VB 6
components in a VB.NET application and VB.NET components in a VB 6
COM+ Programming
with Visual Basic was written for developers who
want to gain an understanding of the guts of the COM+ technology.
Mojica says, "This book is for experienced VB developers who are tired
of not really knowing how things work inside. I urge even those VB
developers who think they know what COM+ is to read the book, I think
they will be pleasantly surprised about the internal information
About the Author:

I am installing Spybot Search and Destroy and im ask to choose what i would like to install :Integrate into Explorers Autoplay for new devicesIntegrate all into Explorers context menuIntegrate into Internet ExplorerI don't know what are these options for and i didn't find any information for them. Do someone knows ?Thanks
1 recommendation
If you're only going to use it for on-demand scanning and don't want it to integrate elsewhere, then deselect those. They do just what they say - add entries to the effect of "Scan this item with Spybot" in various shell menus and add features (I think a toolbar) in IE.The more important option to pay attention to when installing Spybot are the background resident components (in 1.62 called sdhelper and teatimer, not sure how they appear in 2.0). If you're only doing on-demand scanning you probably don't want the extra drag from those components.--Scott Brown Consulting

MONDAY, April 30 (HealthDay News) -- People who speak two
languages have enhanced hearing processing, which improves their
attention and memory skills, a new, small study says.
Northwestern University researchers recorded the brainstem
responses in 23 English- and-Spanish speaking teens and 25
English-only speaking teens as they heard speech sounds in two
Under quiet conditions, both groups had similar results. But
when there was background noise, the bilingual teens' brains did
better at detecting speech sounds.
The findings show that being bilingual changes how the nervous
system responds to sound, according to the researchers.
"People do crossword puzzles and other activities to keep their minds sharp," study co-author Viorica Marian, a bilingualism expert and associate professor of communication sciences, said in a university news release.
"But the advantages we've discovered in dual language speakers come automatically simply from knowing and using two languages. It seems that the benefits of bilingualism are particularly powerful and broad, and include attention, inhibition and encoding of sound," she explained.
The study appears April 30 in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Bilinguals are natural jugglers," Marian said. "The bilingual juggles linguistic input and, it appears, automatically pays greater attention to relevant versus irrelevant sounds. Rather than promoting linguistic confusion, bilingualism promotes improved 'inhibitory control,' or the ability to pick out relevant speech sounds and ignore others."

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Headache: Geriatric Headaches
Older persons have fewer headaches than younger ones. The prevalence of headaches at different ages in women and men, respectively, is as follows: 21 to 34 years, 92% and 74%; 55 to 74 years, 66% and 53%; and after age 75, 55% and 22%.46 Although 90% of headaches in younger patients are of the primary type, only 66% of headaches in the elderly are primary.47 There is a decreasing prevalence of migraine with older age. Past the age of 70 years, only 5% of women and 2% of men still have migraine. There are many causes of new-onset headaches in the elderly, some of which can be particularly worrisome.48 The risk of serious secondary disorders in persons older than 65 years is 10 times higher than that in younger persons.49
Late-Life Migraine Accompaniments
Late-life migraine accompaniments are transient visual, sensory, motor, or behavioral neurologic manifestations that are similar or identical to migraine aura.50 Headache is associated with only 50% of cases and may be mild. These accompaniments occur more often in men than in women. From most to least common, migraine accompaniments consist of visual symptoms such as transient blindness, homonymous hemianopsia (loss of vision on one side of one's visual field), and blurring of vision; paresthesias (numbness, tingling, pins-and-needles sensation), or a heavy feeling of an extremity); brain stem and cerebellar dysfunction such as ataxia (clumsiness), hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in ears), vertigo (sense of room spinning), and syncope (loss of consciousness); and disturbances of speech, such as dysarthria (slurred speech) or aphasia (loss of ability to speak).
Other causes of transient cerebral ischemia should be considered, especially when the patient is seen after the first episode or if the case has unusual aspects. The usual diagnostic evaluation for transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or seizures is performed.
Features that help distinguish migraine accompaniments from TIAs include a gradual buildup of sensory symptoms; a march of sensory paresthesias; serial progression from one accompaniment to another; longer duration (90% of TIAs last for less than 15 minutes); and multiple stereotypical episodes.
If the episodes are frequent, preventive treatment can be considered with medications such as verapamil, topirimate, divalproex sodium, aspirin, and clopidogrel. For acute treatment, ergotamine, DHE, and triptans should be avoided because of the risk of increasing blood pressure.
Cerebrovascular Disease
Headaches commonly accompany stroke. In a prospective study of 163 patients with stroke, headache occurred in 29% with bland infarcts, 57% with parenchymal hemorrhage, 36% with TIAs, and 17% with lacunar infarcts.51 Women and patients with a history of prior recurrent throbbing headaches were more likely to have headaches associated with stroke. The headache began before the stroke in 60% of cases and at its onset in 25%. The quality, onset, and duration of stroke-associated headaches vary widely. The headaches are equally likely to be abrupt and to be gradual in onset. In patients presenting with what they consider to be the worst headache of their life, subarachnoid hemorrhage should be excluded.
Headache accompanying stroke is usually unilateral, focal, and of mild to moderate severity, although up to 46% of patients may have an incapacitating headache. The headache may be throbbing or nonthrobbing and, in rare cases, may be stabbing. The headache is more often ipsilateral than contralateral to the side of the cerebral ischemia (reduction in blood supply). Headache is more common in ischemia of the posterior circulation of the brain than of the anterior circulation and more common in cortical (gray matter) than in subcortical events (involving white matter of the brain.) The headache is of longest duration in cardioembolic infarcts and thrombotic infarcts, of medium duration in lacunar infarction, and of shortest duration in TIAs.

Thu, Aug 20, 2009 (BabyCenter News) — Burley Design has announced a recall of about 2,700 child bike trailers in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The axle assembly's internal sleeve can loosen, causing one wheel to separate from the trailer. This poses a risk of injury to the child occupant or bike rider. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled products are two-wheeled child trailers designed to carry one or two children behind a bicycle. Only the 2009 d'lite ST and 2009 Solo ST trailers with serial numbers that begin with D939 or D948 are included in the recall. The serial number is located in the rear cargo area behind the seat on the lower left rear frame tube. The trailers have the words "d'lite ST" or "solo ST" screen printed on the cover.
The recalled trailers were sold at independent bicycle retailers and specialty outdoor retailers nationwide and on various websites from November 2008 through June 2009 for between $550 and $600. They were made in the Philippines.
• Immediately stop using the trailer and contact Burley to receive a free repair kit or to locate a retailer to assist with the free repair.
• For additional information, call Burley toll-free at (800) 311-5294 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific time, Monday though Friday, or visit the company's website.
• See a photo of the recalled trailers on the CPSC's website.

Well this year the counselors are Colt Brennan, Chase Daniel ,Chad Henne ,Nate Longshore, Mark Sanchez and, Andre' Woodson. Well getting to my point, chad henne has been far and away the best at the camp and this is what i also expect to happen when nfl qb workouts start. Henne has had the best arm, accuracy, footwork, and has been the best in chalk talk sessions.

The New York Rangers are set to face off against the Philadelphia Flyers for game two of the playoffs this afternoon at noon eastern. The Rangers lead the series 1-0 after a 4-1 win at Madison Square Garden on 17 April 2014. These two teams know each other well, and they aren't friendly. Here's what you can expect in today's game; if it's possible to predict the playoffs!
The Rangers played a great physical game in game one. Key players, read as Brad Richards, stepped up and produced the way they are expected to perform. Richards has five points in his last four games, including three power play goals. Martin St. Louis had some important assists, six in the last three games to be specific, and Mats Zuccarello did what we have seen from him in every game this season. He scored, he played hard, he got in the opponents' faces, and he stirred things up all over the ice. The Rangers were able to hold the Flyers' top point scorers to invisible status. Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, and Jakub Voracek didn't make the stat sheets at all, save Simmonds two shots on goal and a hit, Vorascek's three hits, and Giroux's single hit. Noted as a "tough guy", it was difficult to even notice Simmonds on the ice in game one. The Rangers' fourth line stood out as the shut down line they have been all year. Brian Boyle had four shots, four hits, and three take aways in game one. Derek Dorsett posted one shot and one hit but he was very noticeable on the ice, he was playing hard and showing why he deserved to be on that "tough as nails" fourth line. Dominic Moore registered one shot and had a 64% win rating on face-offs. None of the trio registered more than 10 minutes of even strength time in the game; Boyle and Dorsett each played on special teams but had well under 12 minutes total for the game.
The New York Rangers aren't looking for any changes in their line-up. They are going to go out and play the same way they did in game one and are looking for the game two win against the Flyers.
The Rangers do need to keep in mind that the Flyers will come out much harder in game two and are going to play with a vengeance. The Rangers will have to adjust for the increased Flyers' presence and will have to step up their game even further. They also need to make sure they maintain control of the puck and set the tempo of the game to what they want; if they plan to keep the Flyers from getting any momentum at all. Henrik Lundqvist will have to be ready for any and everything in net today.
The Flyers are looking to change everything! Head coach, Craig Berube, stated he will make changes to his team and how they attack in game two. This could mean anything from a team who started slow in the season and ended like a Serengeti lion chasing his prey. The Flyers are still without their top goalie, Steve Mason, and Steve Downie is also out; both with upper body injuries. It's tough to be named Steve on the Flyers' team! The Rangers are still without Chris Kreider's services for an undetermined length of time.

The top-seeded Indiana Pacers will be without Andrew Bynum for the first-round of the playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks.
Andrew Bynum will not be available for playoffs series vs #Hawks, per #Pacers coach Frank Vogel
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) April 17, 2014
Pacers head coach Frank Vogel made the announcement on Thursday, declaring Bynum out for the opening series versus the 8th-seeded Hawks.
Although, Vogel added there is "still a chance (he plays in the playoffs)," depending on how deep of a postseason run the team makes.
Indiana signed the former two-time NBA champion in February with the hope that he would add depth behind All-Star center Roy Hibbert. However, he only played two games for the Pacers and hasn't played since March 15 because of knee problems.
Game 1 of the first-round series against Atlanta begins Saturday night at Indiana.

Can I Self-Certify My Business as a Women-Owned Business?Yes, you can.
There are no legal requirements to formally certify as a women-owned business, but it is still not necessarily a good idea to self-certify. The law permits first-time bidders to "self-certify," if they meet certain conditions of being a women-owned business.
However, this self-certification can be challenged upon procurement award. If this happens, the procuring agency may request proof of the firms' WOB status, or even require certification. If you fail to comply, you could lose the award.
Your business may also be over-looked as there is considerable discretion among contracting officers in how they accept, approach, and award contracts. A formally certified women-owned business may, in the eyes of a contracting officer, be preferable.
Should You Certify as a Women-Owned Business?
Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Definition of "Women-Owned Small Business"The term "women-owned small business concern" as defined by the FAR means that the business:
- Must be at least 51 percent owned by one or more women; or, in the case of any publicly owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more women; and
- Management and daily business operations must be controlled by one or more women.
It is important to note, however, that the Small Business Administration (SBA) has other, more specific criteria for women, including:
- The business must be independently owned and operated,
- Must be organized for profit, and
- Is not dominant in its field or industry.
Additionally, the SBA further defines "small business" based on industry, number of employees, and receipts.

Also, that the community of local subsistence and commercial fishers in the region will continue to flourish. Essential to local economic sustainability is bioregional conservation, and our little corner of the world is a microcosm baseline model for the planet. This is one of the last wild places on planet earth where we still have a chance to get it right, by leaving it alone- wild and thriving. Please use this site to investigate and propagate our message. Learn more

About Laurie-Marie
This photo was taken at the Beach House Restaurant in Poipu - our number one place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or any special occasion! Hale Aloha Kauai is our version of paradise, every detail was chosen with our guests in mind. We hope you find the spirit of the islands and keep that spirit in your hearts wherever you may be! Aloha!
Laurie-Marie purchased this house in 2000
Why Laurie-Marie chose Haena
We bought the land and built the house which was completed in 2001 - a dream come true! After vacationing on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai - we fell in love with Kauai and couldn't think of a better place to build.
What makes this house unique
Ocean waves to lull you to sleep at night, beautiful days and warm water to relax you. This is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island. The house is set up to accommodate 2 couples and a few kids with great ease and comfort and was designed to make your vacation the best!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Your house is amazing! Not just the thoughtful appointments and amenities, but the insightful planning and design of the house was obviously a labor of love. It was obvious how much care and attention you put into each and every detail. The floor plan is wonderful and really affords the most comfort and practicality.(The kitchen and Master Bathrooms are awesome!) So thank you, thank you,thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us it meant more than you'll ever know. We'll be back soon! Kerry and Candie, New York

For the last couple of days, and continuing today, I have been and will be looking at each team in the NHL and identifying a couple of players in particular that fit into one of two categories based on the once popular kids game, Chutes and Ladders. The players in the "chutes" category will be players who exceeded expectations last season, and will have a difficult time avoiding a slide in the coming season. The "ladder" category will consist of players who are ready to climb a level in their play and step up a notch. This is the final installment in the series, but please feel free to brows back to see all 29 previous teams.
Chutes: Olli Jokinen – Consistency has been the knock against the big centre throughout his career, and the big reason why he doesn't stay in any one place very long. Talented but not overly competitive, his career is likely winding down, at least in terms of being a go-to player. His first year in Winnipeg was a disaster (14 points in 45 games) and if his second (and probably final) season as a Jet isn't a lot more productive, he might have trouble finding NHL employment next summer.
Ladders: Jacob Trouba – The rookie defenseman & 2012 first round pick who left Michigan after his freshman season could be the most NHL ready prospect in the league and should be a factor in the Calder Trophy race. He should step in and play a top 4 role right away, and display an all-around game that will make a positive impact in Winnipeg.

Also Crestor for cholesterol, Singulair , Claritin and inhalers for asthma. I am convinced that Opana has something like a withdrawal effect when the first dose starts to wear off and that is when I have the sweating and hot flashes. My docs don't believe Opana would do this. I have a lot of meds there and something is interacting with something else and I believe it is the Opana that makes me sweaty. I feel it is not worth taking but I dread going off of it. (it has also been VERY constipating.)View Thread
For the past 2 days my girlfriend has been having sharp pains in both of her calfs. She says they're both a little swollen and the pain "paralyzed her legs." It started yesterday and severely intensified today. It only hurts while standing/laying down and extending.
I realize this isn't really possible to diagnose but any ideas for course of action?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!View Thread
She had the following reactions: extremely dizzy, rolling-feeling in her stomach (wave-like nausea), couldn't function for about approximately 12 hours, couldn't eat. As the drug wore off she felt a terrible hangover with light-headedness.
It did take care of the back and shoulder pain, but the other effects were so terrible, she would not recommend taking them at all, especially if you are alone.
The manufacturer states that older people may be sensitive and not to operative machines while taking, especially driving. It is a narcotic, similar to morphine.View Thread
