I have an electric kettle that I clean by scrubbing the insides with plain water. I was wondering if there was a better way to clean it. I remember hearing somewhere that you can clean a coffemaker by running a solution containing vinegar through it and was wondering if there might be a similar solution to clean the kettle?
You can use a solution of vinegar and water to descale your kettle (unless, as hobodave mentioned, the manufacturer advises against using vinegar). Fill your kettle with water until it's half full; add about 1/2 cup of vinegar to the water, and then allow it to boil for about 10 minutes. Allow the water to cool and unplug your kettle. Gently scrub away the scale with a non-metallic pad (don't scrub the heating element if it's exposed; wipe that with a sponge). Rinse your kettle several times after removing the scale, and then boil one or two fillings of water in it to ensure that you remove all traces of the vinegar.
I have generally found the vinegar method to be suitable and haven't heard of anything specific as to why it would be harmful. Vinegar is usually only about 5% acid solution so rather weak as far as acids go. A lot of manufacturers will recommend a specific cleaning solution because it's yet another thing that you have to buy from them.
You should be able to find descaling solutions in cleaning aisle of the grocery store or visit your local restaurant supply store for descaling solution.
I've found that citric acid works best. You put it in a kettle of boiling water, and just let it do its magic. It cleans up any plaque buildup, and brings it back to a shiny pristine state. Works much better for me than vinegar, for some reason.
Follow the manufacturer's directions.
I have heard the vinegar thing for coffee makers too, but it's not a universal thing. Specifically, my coffee maker has very explicit warnings about not using vinegar, or any other acidic solution to clean it. Instead it suggests soap and water for the externals, and a vinegar-free descaling solution for the internals.
I don't own an electric kettle, but I wouldn't be surprised if some models had prohibitions or warnings of their own. I know for sure they will have specific instructions in their manuals though.
For anything electric/electronic that you care about, follow the instructions.
If you don't want to use white vinegar, you can use apple vinegar. I have tried it in my kettle with pure apple cider vinegar. It worked very well too.
You can clean easily with some Cola, it works perfectly
Citric acid, but be careful. Don't let it sit too long.

WEIRTON - In a precedent-setting decision, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that surviving co-conspirators cannot be charged with murder when an intended burglary victim kills an intruder in self-defense.
The court's decision upheld Senior Status Judge Fred Fox II's April dismissal of a felony murder charge against 19-year-old James Sands II of Follansbee, resulting from an alleged December 2011 burglary attempt in which a Weirton gas station owner's son shot and killed 18-year-old Dakota Givens, also of Follansbee.
Hancock County Prosecutor James Davis Jr. had appealed to the high court seeking a writ of prohibition that would have reinstated the murder count.
Writing on behalf of a unanimous court, Justice Thomas McHugh declared that prosecutors failed to demonstrate Fox was "clearly erroneous" in dismissing the charge, and the Supreme Court rejects the view that West Virginia's murder statute applies regardless of whether it is a victim or criminal who dies in the commission of a felony "until such time as the Legislature sees fit to further amend" state code.
The requirement a death be that of either a crime victim or law enforcement officer to support a felony murder charge in such cases is "deeply ensconced" in common law, McHugh wrote.
Hancock County Assistant Prosecutor David F. Cross, who argued the case before the Supreme Court in September, said he was not surprised by the court's ruling, acknowledging that several other states have taken the view adopted by the high court in the Sands case.
"That's what they decided, so now we know what the law in West Virginia is," Cross said of the ruling. "We thought it was important to raise the issue before the court."
Thursday's decision has major implications in another local case, that of Melody Fisher, a 40-year-old Beech Bottom resident charged with murder, first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery in connection with an alleged May 25 robbery attempt at the Elm Grove Pharmacy in Wheeling. A pharmacy employee fatally shot 37-year-old Kevin Walnoha, who reportedly jumped behind the counter and demanded pills.
Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith said he anticipates the murder charge against Fisher will be addressed during a status hearing on Wednesday. He said he sought the murder indictment knowing full well the potential for Thursday's outcome, but felt it would be best to proceed and await the justices' ruling.
Smith said he respects the court's decision but does not necessarily agree with its consequences.
"In my opinion, when two or more people engage in a very serious crime which poses a potential for loss of life for innocent bystanders, there should be serious repercussions," said Smith.
No matter what happens with the murder charge, Smith said Fisher will still face the robbery and conspiracy charges, though he stressed she is innocent until proven guilty.
Likewise, Sands still faces burglary and conspiracy charges in connection with the Hancock County case. He remains free on bond pending further proceedings. He is being represented by attorneys Martin Sheehan and Amanda Mesler.
A second teen charged in that case, Chelsea Metz of Follansbee, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction in March. Prosecutors dropped murder, conspiracy and burglary charges against her after determining her role in the alleged conspiracy was minimal.

Run following simple script on SQL Server 2005 to retrieve all stored procedure in database.
FROM sys.procedures;
This will ONLY work with SQL Server 2005.

how to find the rate of interest – using stored procedure concept in sql server.
how can i get only user defined procedure…
select specific_name from information_schema.routines
where routine_type='PROCEDURE'
use filter:
select * from sys.objects where type='u'
Hi Savitha
You can use use the below query to list all User Defined Stored procedures in a database:
Select * from sys.procedures where [type] = 'P' and is_ms_shipped = 0 and [name] not like 'sp[_]%diagram%'
Select * from sys.objects where type='p' and is_ms_shipped=0 and [name] not like 'sp[_]%diagram%'
'NOT LIKE' part is added to get rid of stored procedures created during database installation.
i have taken this from http://vadivel.blogspot.com/2006/10/listing-dropping-all-stored-procedures.html
We can find the Stored Procedures of a data base like this:
select * from dbo.sysobjects where xtype='p' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1
Is it possible to insert data using Stored procedure in number of tables with different fields number of fields
hi tushar,
Yes this is possible using one stored procedure , that insert different data fields in diffrent tables.
Create Proc name
Declare here all fields
Write here different insert query statement for differrent tables simultaneously it will fire and exe.
ok bye
how do I do this for SQL server 2000?
not possible
It is possible my dear.. may be all are not knowledge about this.. but recently not any one can use sql server 2000……..
We can get all procedures in the follwoing way .
I tried its working …
Select * from all_objects where object_type='PROCEDURE";
It should be
Select * from sys.all_objects where type='p'
Also it will work only from version 2008
in sql 2005
SELECT name, object_id, principal_id, schema_id, parent_object_id, type, type_desc, create_date, modify_date, is_ms_shipped, is_published,
FROM sys.all_objects
WHERE (is_ms_shipped = 0) AND (type_desc = N'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE')
Can anyone tell me where stored procedure is stored in SQL Server 2005?
yes in sql server
:)) That was really funny
in programmablity
you guys are all crazy:
(from SQL Sever 2005 Management Studio)
SELECT * FROM sys.procedures
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'sys.procedures'.
Select * from all_objects where object_type='PROCEDURE'
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'all_objects'.
Probably because it's a SQL Server 2000 database.
Check the compatibility level of the database
It should be 90
all_objects should be sys.all_objects
Select * from sys.all_objects where type='p'
Hi Jack
First select database name master then you query execute.

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Shenzhen is the United Nation of China -- take the subway and in any car you will hear a dozen languages and dialects. The whole of China is represented there -- from Guangdong people, of course (not all of them being fluent in Cantonese, there's a whole bunch of Guangdong-born Hakka and Chaozhou people in Shenzhen) to neighboring Guangxi (lots of them in Shenzhen and Dongguan; they were the first to settle down in Shenzhen when the FEZ was opened. They speak a moderately intelligible dialect of Cantonese, good luck with that) to Fujian, Hunan, way up north (always funny to hear a taxi driver asking 去儿哪儿里儿?) and even Uyghur people... Nobody speaks Mandarin but everybody think they do :-)
Besides, how long do you have before your trip? A couple of years?
Shenzhen is in mainland China, so you should study Mandarin. However, it is so close to Hong Kong, and there is a lot of business between Hong Kong and Shenzhen if you know a bit of Cantonese, it will suffice also.

Blender Foundation: Status Update Week 9
Tags: blender foundation, documentation, letworyinteractive, updates
It's been way too long since my previous update, so here finally a new update. So, what have I been doing all this time?
Well, mostly I've been working on developer documentation. It's been quite a boring task, and as some sort of poor excuse, it's been uninviting enough to "forget" about the status reports. Anyway, I've been shuffling content on the wiki to some extent, creating for the development contents section a new and clearer start page that should help decide and point viewers to the correct place.

If Rosh Chodesh is a "Zeman Kapara" (time of atonement) as we say in the Mussaf prayers, why does it contain no selichot and no tachanunim? Why doesn't it (the day of Rosh Chodesh itself) resemble Yom Kippur in that way, which is full of selichot?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The kapparah of Rosh Chodesh is different than the regular type.
On one level, the goat offered as a chatas on this day (also on the other Yamim Tovim, incidentally, except for Yom Kippur) is to atone for cases of tum'ah involving the Beis Hamikdash or sacred foods where there was "no knowledge at the beginning or the end" - in other words, the person never knew that he was tamei before he entered the Beis Hamikdash or ate the food, and never found out afterwards either. (Shevuos 2a)
So perhaps this makes it inappropriate for us to substitute for this tachanun or selichos, in which we regret the sins that we do know of (which we may have done deliberately or inadvertently) and ask Hashem to forgive us for them.
On a deeper level, too, there is the idea that the kapparah is not for us but, so to speak, for Hashem's having diminished the moon's size* (Chullin 60b). Again, then, this wouldn't fit with us mentioning our own misdeeds.
(What about the phrase לכל תולדותם, apparently implying that the kapparah is "for all generations" of Jews? Kuzari (3:5), cited in Beis Yosef (Orach Chaim 423), states that indeed תולדותם means "the rebirths of the months" - i.e., that Rosh Chodesh is a time of atonement for the entire month, and perhaps also this includes the idea that it is an atonement for the very fact that the moon needs to reborn each month.)
* What does this mean? A lot of different explanations have been given, but here's one, from Chabad.org. Key paragraphs:

Great Shot !!
Main Content
Nice framing!
Love this shot, it is so adorable I laughed out loud. Thanks for all the effort it took, all your skills, and most of all for sharing! Great capture.
It was worth every uncomfortable moment the photographer probabley had waiting for those penguins to perfictly fill the space and compose the shot.
I love this.
This is just great. Cool and artistic.
I was looking for a nice photo for my password picture and I came across this! I chose it without any seconds thought :)
The Three Musketeers...
Very "cool" shot. And I believe that blue ice is millions of years old, if not billions.
"Harold, tell your son to quit looking like an idiot in front of the nice man's camera," said Imajean, staring hopelessly at her son as he slid across the ice on his stomach, oblivious to the wink of the camera lens a few yards away.
"Merv, d'you hear what your mother says? You look like a schmuck on the ground like that. Get up and waddle like a normal penguin. Merv. Listen to your mother."
But Merv didn't listen; he was too busy imagining himself representing Antartica in skeleton at the 2018 Winter Olympics, sliding across the finish line and becoming the first ever penguin to win gold in the sport. No, Merv didn't listen to his mother at all.
Amazing picture!
very very beautiful!..........
Wow!!! very beautiful, its so happy to see the cuties play & enjoy their life....: )
very spectacular. love it.
Amazing pic !!
Reminds me of the sublime beauty of nature and the simple joys of life ...
You should be very stoked its an awesome shot :)
Window to the Ice World
This photo is just too, too cool in every sense of the word. Love it. The ice, the framing, the patience, the anticipation, all wonderful. So well composed and presented. Thanks so much for sharing and congrats. Cherer.
Stunning photo! Definitely worth the wait! Congrats Keith Szafranski!
As a young photographer Nat Geo is always inspirational.
My work can be found here: http://maireadkahn.wordpress.com/
Amazing shot.
Fantastic, beautiful and wonderful. Perfect photo!
How perfect! Almost gives me a warm feeling.
Brilliant !!!
Really a Freezed frame awesome shot
Very nice
Spectacular ! Icy window look.
The colors match the mood completely + a nice composition = great shot
Even the clouds cooperated! <3
absolutely love this picture.
A wonderful window into the penguins' world... great shot! Congratulations!
Just such a wonderful shot,beautifully framed. It must be very rewarding to have photographed these penguins with results like this. Congrats:Keith. j.e.s.........
With so much heat here in Texas I rather enjoy this photo immensely!
Cool pic!
:) Love it
Perfect periscopic vision
Great, awesome, magnificent ... what else ? :)
The porthole of blue ice framing the mauve and golden hues in the sky of this Antarctic landscape would make this a perfect photo, but the charming presence of the three penguins, with one of them tobogganing on its belly, just makes this a sublime image. So wonderful!

Landmarks of Washington, D.C.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
The FDR Memorial honors the 32nd President of the United States and the era from 1933 to 1945. Divided into four outdoor rooms, each represents one of FDR's terms in office. This image represents the Great Depression. The inscription at the top of this room reads "I SEE ONE-THIRD OF A NATION ILL-HOUSED, ILL-CLAD, ILL-NOURISHED."
Fun Fact: One of the memorial's statues depicts Fala, FDR's faithful Scottish terrier.

Doyle and Bonnie (Gaines) Fox were married on June 14, 1953 at the Calvary Baptist Church of Phillipsburg, Kan., by Reverend Don Gaines, Bonnie's brother. Doyle and Bonnie moved repeatedly with Doyle's Cities Service Oil Company position until settling in El Dorado in 1962.
Doyle later went to work for Prudential Life Insurance Company, retiring from the insurance business in 1989. He currently serves as the Property Manager for Sawyer Homes, enjoying the assistance he provides to their residents. Bonnie started Reveille Lane Preschool with a friend in 1965, later moving to a position at First Baptist Daycare.
She continues to work part-time at the daycare and has touched the lives of many children over the years.
Doyle and Bonnie are the parents of three children, son Greg Fox (wife, Rebecca) of Ames, Iowa, and daughters, Debbie Fox (partner, Debra Powell) of Wichita and Gay Kimble (husband, Gene) of El Dorado.
They are the grandparents of six and great-grandparents of five wonderful grandchildren.
To celebrate their anniversary, the entire Fox family will be vacationing at Table Rock Lake later this summer.

WINTERSVILLE - Comedians Ty Mac and David "Frog" Bey of Pittsburgh will be the headliners for an evening of comedy and dinner on Nov. 16 at Zalenski's Family Eatery and Pub, 547 Cadiz Road,
The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with a buffet-style dinner. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by calling (740) 264-2144.
Pittsburgh native Mac - who also goes by the title the Big Mac of Comedy -was the class clown no matter what type of school his parents placed him in. Mac said he was the first in his family to attend college at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, and also the first to drop out. Mac said he continued to make people laugh in college and some stand-up in talent shows. But it wasn't until while working at his family business that a close friend, who already was a professional comic, convinced him he was a natural comedian.

The friend asked Mac to come with him one night to a comedy club and try out his jokes. Mac said at first he refused, but eventually he performed during an amateur comic night. He said his first performance was great, but the following week he bombed. As time went on Mac learned the comedy trade and gigs came his way, he added.
"I feel like God gives me the talent, and I wouldn't waste it again," he said. "During the early 1980s my addiction to drugs and alcohol robbed me of the gift which God gave me, but by January of 1991 I was clean. The gift of making people laugh comes from God, and if I didn't share it with people then why was I given a second chance?"
Mac now has more than 27 years in the business with TV and movie credits as well as sharing the stage with well-known comedians. He has DVDs and CD to his credit as well as film roles, including "Out Of The Furnace," "The Next Three Day's," "She's Out Of My League," "Dogma," "The Assassination File," "Sudden Death," "Striking Distance," "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh."
Mac also is the winner of several national comedy competitions.
Bey. also a Pittsburgh native, was born the third child in a family of eight children. At a young age Bey was encouraged to express himself to get attention, Bey said.
While in the fourth grade Bey was enrolled in Roger's School of Performing Arts, as he had a gift for entertaining.
Throughout his school years he played multiple instruments, performed in both the school and church choir and acted in plays. Comedy did not come until later in his life.
Bey's grandmother gave him the nickname when he was a baby, he said.
Bey performed his first comedy show at college and eventually was asked to open for Sinbad by the famous comedian himself. Bey said he spends much of his time performing at comedy clubs throughout the country.

How can I automate the installation of wordpress in a subdomain?
Upon registration user1 would get automatically wordpress on user1.domain.com.
Then, upon registration user2 would get his own wordpress on user2.domain.com, etc.
I can program a little bit PHP, but I would rather avoid any programming and would prefer a ready-made solution if it exists.
Thank you in advance for your help. Any hint is appreciated.

CNet is reporting that all OpenID and OAuth sites are vulnerable to an attack called "Covert Redirect". What is this attack, how does it work, and as an end user, how can I mitigate the risk?
This isn't a vulnerability of/in OAuth 2.0 at all. The issue has been wildly overblown and misstated by CNET and the original finder.
Here it is in a nutshell: If your web site (example.com) implements an open redirect endpoint - that is, implements a URL that will redirect the browser to any URL given in the URL parameters - AND your redirect copies URL parameters from the incoming URL to the outgoing redirect URL, then it is possible for third parties to exploit this artifact of your web site in a wide variety of nasty ways.
Worst case: evil.com is able to get the auth code originally intended for your web site (example.com) and may be able to use that auth code to extract user information from the auth provider (Google, Facebook, etc) or possibly even take control of the user's account on your web site.
Would evil.com be able to take control of the user's Google account using that access code? No, because the access code was minted for your site, example.com, and only works there.
Who's fault is it? Yours, for implementing an open redirect on your site. Don't blame Google or Facebook or others for your poor implementation.
There are a few legitimate use cases for having a redirect on your site. The biggest one is to redirect the browser after login to the web page (on your site) that the user originally requested. This only needs to redirect from your web site to pages in your web site, on your domain.
How to fix it? Have your redirect endpoint (example.com/redirect?&destination=ht.tp://foo.com...) validate the destination URL. Only allow redirects to pages on your site, in your domain.
More info on my blog: http://dannythorpe.com/2014/05/02/tech-analysis-of-serious-security-flaw-in-oauth-openid-discovered/
Update: There is an open redirect issue when using Facebook for OAuth user login. When you configure your app definition on Facebook, be sure to enter your domain-specific redirect URL in the redirect field provided. Facebook allows this field to be left blank. If left blank, Facebook itself acts as an open redirect while processing user logins for your web site.
Facebook should fix this by simply not allowing the redirect URL field to be left blank.
As others have stated, this is not a new idea. Eran Hammer (one of the creators of the Oauth 1.0 spec, who resigned from the Oauth 2.0 committe) wrote a good synopsis of the vulnerability, almost 3 years ago. His description didn't get a fancy logo or any sensational media coverage.
Here is a Youtube video the original finder put together leading you through the vulnerability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUE8VbbwUms.
OpenId and OAuth both provide a field that allows a third-party site to specify a redirect when authentication has completed and is successful. For instance, you go to Good Reads, they want you to login with your Facebook account. Good Reads will tell Facebook, "hey, when the user authenticates successfully, redirect them back to http://goodreads.com." The vulnerability is that some of these third-party sites allow redirects to be specified in their URLs (http://google.com/redirect?url=http://attacker.com) and may not validate them before they redirect the user. So, an attacker could create a "Login with Facebook" link for a valid site like Good Reads and could specify the redirect url to be something like http://goodreads.com/redirect?url=http://attacker.com (assuming Good Reads did this kind of redirect), your Facebook login popup would show that Good Reads (a perfectly normal site for you to be going to) wants to authenticate with Facebook, but when you authenticate and redirect back to Good Reads, if Good Reads doesn't validate the redirect URL, you'll be immediately redirected to http://attacker.com.
The fix would be for third-parties to validate redirects, but that may take a while to happen. The other thing is, CNet has reported that attackers might be able to steal information through this little interchange, but I'm not quite sure if that is possible. Someone else can comment on the matter. But, getting a user to a bad site is probably good enough for them.
This is a form of man in the middle attack where a site can grab your OpenID credentials. It works because the sources of openID (facebook, google, etc) do not perform sufficient checks when openID queries are sent.
There's nothing you as the user can do about it, all you can do is be very wary about using Oath and openID. If a site you wouldn't expect to use openID pops up an openID window then don't allow it. If you suspect that your openID credentials have been captured go to the authentication source (facebook, google, whatever) and change it there as soon as possible.
From the website,
Covert Redirect is an application that takes a parameter and redirects a user to the parameter value WITHOUT SUFFICIENT validation. This is often the of result of a website's overconfidence in its partners.
In another word, the Covert Redirect vulnerability exists because there is not sufficient validation of the redirected URLs that belong to the domain of the partners.
So imagine I executed some form of phishing link that you opened. Let's say I pretended to be your bank. Under normal conditions, I'd have to create a spoofed domain to trick you. www.y0urb4nk.com and hope you clicked the link. With the Covert Redirect attack, an attacker exploits Oath/OpenID to use the actual bank's info to pull off the phish for me. Instead of me using y0urb4nk.com I can now use yourbank.com (the actual site) to pull of the hack. This is the flaw explained.
So in an nutshell:
Fix? Short term would be to stop using OpenID/Oauth until a fix is found

'Dream' observances: What's next?
Now that we're past the ritual pieties arising from the 50th anniversary of the great civil-rights March on Washington, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s transcendent "I Have a Dream" speech there, how is public policy to respond to the continuing disadvantaged position of racial minorities?
Some elected officials, including Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, used the anniversary to denounce attempts to require better identification of people when they vote, such as ID cards with photographs. Better identification is decried as a mechanism for discouraging racial minorities from voting, and insofar as they tend to be poorer and less involved with government and commerce, members of racial minorities may have less ordinary opportunity to obtain photo IDs.

I am trying to work out how to solve the following functions graphically.
On the same axes, draw the graph of $y = \sin x$ ($x$ in radians) and $y = \dfrac{1}{x}$ for values of $x$ between $0.5$ and $1.5$. Use graphs to estimate a value of $x$ such that $x\sin x = 1$.
Explain why when $x$ is large, solutions of the equation $x\sin x = 1$ are given approximately by $x = n\pi$, where $n$ is an integer.
How do I go about graphing different units on the same axes. I thought of using equivalent degrees but that makes the sin graph too large for values $0.5$ and $1.5$. Is this type of problem only for solving with calculators?
Thanks again for all your help.

I need to cook a romantic dinner and my wife wants lamb, which I've never cooked before.
Usually I make us steaks in a cast iron - it's easy, tasty and quick.
Can I do something similar with lamb? What is the name of the cut I need to buy?
I need to cook a romantic dinner and my wife wants lamb, which I've never cooked before.
You want the ones that look like little tiny T-bone steaks. Typically they are called Lamb Chops, but look first as there are different cuts under that name. You might also consider doing a rack, which is the equivalent to a Rib Roast, but obviously much smaller. For the rack, I'd sear it in a pan, and then broil it until done. (15-25 minutes, 140-160 degrees).
In the UK I'd use a cut called lamb leg steak, as you can prepare it in a similar way to beef steak. Personally I prefer to griddle on one side, flip over and finish in a hot oven. Make sure you rest it!
I know recipe requests are a bit ugh here, but I'd recommend making the lamb steaks a little bit spiced (rub with cumin, chilli & coriander) and serve with a smooth, creamy cauliflower puree - it's a great combination.
I love lamb burgers. You grind lamb, then mix it with onions and various spices. You then put them on a spit and either broil them in the oven or cook them on a grill. You serve inside grilled pita them with tzatziki (a yogurt and cucumber sauce) and taboulleh (a bulghur salad). The latter is optional, it's just a nice side dish.
Roast Lamb Loin is very easy. 30mins per 500g on 180 degrees. Seasoned with salt is the minimum; however it's easy to add Rosemary or Mint. It works very well with a large range of sides including salads, purees, or roast vegetables. A good wine match is a full bodied red such as Sharaz or Syrah.
You can't go past Lamb Backstrap . It does everything a steak does in regards to cooking, remains very juicy and tender. You can wrap in prosciutto , serve with soft polenta. Basically whatever your imagination can come up with it will suit this cut.Only down side is the price to purchase, but well worth it for a romantic dinner.

[CLOSED] [2.0 Trunk] css not found
I just updated to the latest trunk and lost all the gxt css again. The only way I was able to get my application to run was to copy the css and images from the gxt resources folder into my application's public folder.
Is this the way it is intended to work?
19 Feb 2009 5:08 AM #2
Currently the trunk is under heavy development. Most big issues will be fixed soon.
19 Feb 2009 5:16 AM #3
Ok. I was following your advice to update and get the fix for the ListStore load exception. Maybe I should have paused when I saw the 1451 updates and 8 conflicts.... :-)
19 Feb 2009 5:41 AM #4
Trunk is the future 2.0 code and should defintly not used in productive environtsment yet. So if you need stable code, you should stick with the 1.2 branche.
19 Feb 2009 6:06 AM #5
yeah, I know. But Trunk has always had the latest goodies I wanted so its always been worth muddling through.
19 Feb 2009 6:12 AM #6
Yes, but you got the update that switched to GWT 1.6. And there were many changes that need to be adjusted.
19 Feb 2009 6:19 AM #7
Yep - noticed GWT 1.6 too. I didn't even know that was released until I updated GXT. I got it to work. Don't worry, I've had updates that broke a lot more than this one ;-) Was a little easier in the days when Darrell frequented the irc chat room, since you could get a fix on-the-spot. But it's still ok even though he now hides behind the corporate wall (just kidding).
19 Feb 2009 12:55 PM #8
I am also on trunk and have managed to move to 1.6 M1. Is there any word on when the css will be back? I don't mind muddling through the trunk while under development, but I'm waiting on HtmlEditor and my understanding was that would hit the trunk soon.
19 Feb 2009 1:03 PM #9
Nathan, if you create a css subdirectory of your application's public directory and copy the following files/directories from gxt:resources/css/ into it, things should work:
You'll also need to copy gxt:resources/images under your public directory.
Finally, add the following to your html header :
<link class="gray" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/gxt-all.css" />
<link class="gray" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/gxt-gray.css" />
[I use the gray theme]
At least, that (more-or-less) did the trick for me. A few thinks are still a little funky.
26 Feb 2009 3:48 AM #10
I'm using trunk too and hit an issue today. I've updated from SVN and a checkable DataList do not display any checkbox. It was working on the previous checkout from svn so I think everything will be back soon, just wondering if someone got the same issue.

Some Interesting Health Advantages Found to Using Salvia Divinorum
There is no doubt about the constructive salvia effects. To date, there is still a continuing research on the health benefits of salvia. Therefore, if you want to buy salvia and would like to know more about the salvia health effects, then you'll find this article quite an interesting read.
Salvia effects have mainly been experienced in China than any other country in the world. There is an ever growing progress in China to discover the numerous benefits that salvia extract is made up of. For instance, dehydrated salvia has not only proven beneficial to the heart but also to the well-being of the liver. As a matter of fact, there are numerous published accounts that show how salvia has been able to control cardiac arrest, stroke along with angina within the Chinese population. Most of the studies carried out on this herb have been centered on its cardiovascular protective traits, especially angina. In a layman's term, angina refers to a condition where the heart does not receive enough oxygen. As a result, a person with the condition is prone to both cardiac arrest and stroke.
When saliva is ingested, it immediately expands the blood vessels along with arteries. This in turn enhances the flow of blood throughout the whole body. This is very crucial given that cardiac arrest plus strokes are mainly triggered by blood platelets that group together to create hazardous clots. A cardiac arrest will normally rise when one of the main arteries leading to and from the heart is totally obstructed. Since most of the folks who reside in western nations are susceptible to this kind of heart ailment, which is the number one cause of death besides disability, it is no surprise that there is an ever rising demand for the herb particularly in the United States and Canada.
Other than the minimizing the possibilities of suffering from either cardiac arrest or stroke, there are other health benefits of salvia. For example, salvia greatly assists in relieving the aching and discomfort from angina pectoris. Unknown to a majority of people is that salvia contains powerful antioxidants which deter the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (i.e. bad cholesterol). Moreover, salvia also enhances the creation of nitric oxide that is a paramount substance in enhancing proper blood circulation which is extremely advantageous in enhancing the survival rate of those who have suffered a heart attack before.
Given that salvia can naturally purify blood, it can also be used to cure unpleasant skin diseases such as acne and boils.

Jonas' three lifts Whitefish Bay girls over Germantown, 58-57
The first words out of Whitefish By girls basketball coach Greg Capper's mouth following the Blue Dukes' dramatic 58-57 road win over host Germantown Friday night were this:
"That's exactly the way we drew it up."
And returning NOW All-Suburban center and author of the winning baseline three-pointer with two seconds to go Maya Jonas, mostly agreed with her coach's assessment.
"It was actually to look for anyone that was open," she said of the play that began with just 8.9 seconds to go and Germantown up 57-55. "...and when I let it go I thought it was way short and then (when it went in) I went 'Oh my and thought we can't let them pick up the ball and score!'"

Fire extinguished at steel mill site
STEUBENVILLE - City firefighters extinguished a trailer fire at the former RG Steel plant Sunday afternoon.
A fire department spokesperson said a worker was using a torch to cut steel beams prior to the building being demolished and accidentally ignited the 60-by-20-foot trailer. Firefighters had to use water from their fire truck because there were no working fire hydrants in the building.
No one was injured, and the fire was contained within an hour, officials said.
Crash sends area man to hospital
CALCUTTA - The right northbound lane of state Route 11 just north of the Route 170 overpass was closed for more than an hour on Sunday afternoon, as first responders worked to free a driver from the wreckage of a single-vehicle accident.
Detective Joseph Brophey of the St. Clair Police Department said Bryan Strauss, 40, of Tiltonsville was driving north in the left lane of Route 11 at approximately 3:30 p.m., when his 2008 Honda Accord drifted over the left yellow line toward the concrete center divider. Although the car did not contact the center divider, its tires did hit a patch of snow and ice at the foot of the divider.
According to Brophey, Strauss' attempt to correct course resulted in a loss of control. The car slid sideways into the right-side guardrail face, crumpling several yards of guardrail before striking an embankment, which flipped the car onto its roof in a roadside ditch. Brophey says Strauss was wearing his seat belt and was not seriously injured, but could not free himself from the wreckage.
He was transported by Lifeteam EMS to East Liverpool City Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

Challenge: Laptop - Quad Core 8gb Blu-ray USB 3.0.....$600
Help me find the laptop I need at the right price. Quad core 8gb ram at least 750gb hd bluray burner and a USB 3.0 port. Am i Crazy to think its out there for 600 ?
6 Answers answer
I hope not. That would make a decent gaming laptop, which I've been thinking about. Might just snake one from under you if anyone finds it :P
In digging around it looks like I need to drop bluray burner from the listed requirements so dropping that. Does need a DVD burner though those are pretty standard
Except I want it for 500 now
closest thing I can find:
I'm not sure why you would be on this quest. Personally, I would go for quality over performance any day when it comes to a laptop. And if gaming is your goal, just build a desktop. You can build a decent gaming rig for under 500 easily.
@portezbie: Some further color. My wife twice a year does a video for all of the grandparents of all the kids going on. This worked fine on a simple dual core laptop over the years but we had the happy chance to get a full blown DSLR camera last year and ever since then the process has been excruciating to do the editing encoding and burning to DVD because the medium is a lot larger and it's also a lot higher quality.
Anyway I need to replace her laptop as I cashed in the squaretrade warranty I am told a good rule of thumb for video editing is 2GB of Ram for every core . We already have a machine that is quad core that has 12gb of ram and a good graphics card but I don't really care about the graphics that much as the actual graphics card needs are small it's the raw processing power to handle the encoding.
And in short the wife wants a laptop not a desktop (that coupled with the fact the desktop is my TV server)
Squaretrade rocks by the way I buy it for everything now !
I just bought her a 3TB external to hold all the crap and its usb 3.0 so I want that to speed up the transfers. The better it works the less I have to hear about it. Despite the face when its all said and done she wil end up with something nicer than what I am using :-)
Best I can find so far is 599.99 at costco

- LED fingernails
- Need to find the smallest battery available.
- Get some SMD resistors to match.
- LED "beading" on clothing
- LED "light" staff. Completed, did a 5MoF talk on this easy project.
- Wearable interfaces Preferably input devices, as heads up displays are more obtainable.
- Learning new things, like German, only that's a pretty old thing really.
I have (had?) all the parts to build a tesla coil I think I should do that someday. I also like to arrange for people to come to the space to talk about cool stuff.
I have many allergies. I get tired of typing out my current list of food allergies, so I put them here:
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening form of an allergic reaction. I have only had this once in my life, but I am at risk. If I collapse and turn blue, chances are I am in anaphylactic shock. I always try to carry an epipen somewhere on my person. (Jacket chest pocket or handbag or something.) Take it out, pop the cap and stab me with it in the thigh RIGHT AWAY. Although I tend to react slowly, if I'm already blue it means I'm already dying.

I am also allergic to non-food things, but these (mostly) prove less of a problem. Some of the more significant things:
Cats: I have had many second-hand reactions to cats. I am so allergic, I am sometimes allergic to people who have cats, which is very unfortunate. Oh, and ferrets happen to fall in this category. I have no idea.
Mold: This crops up in odd things. Fake smoke machines are horrid for this. Cheap cigarettes sometimes have mold. "fresh air" after a light rain is often quite full of mold. It doesn't matter if it's living or dead, it will still bother me.
Dust: Don't ask me to help clean up anything that's been sitting for longer than week or two. Vacuuming often makes this worse, even with a great filter, simply because you're stirring it up.
Other: I'm also allergic to dogs, pollens, fragrances and other random stuff, but these are either not as serious or immediate as the rest.
Irritants: If I'm having a reaction to something else, any stuff in the air (smoke, cleaning chemicals) even if I'm not allergic, will worsen the condition.

Chad Holley, 18, who at 15-years-old was suspected of burglary and beaten on video by Houston Police officers, was arrested again today on a new burglary charge, reports ABC.com.
As previously reported by NewsOne, in a horrific video, police can be seen kicking and punching Holley, who does not fight back, multiple times. Holley laid motionless on the ground while a group of cops descended upon him. He subsequently filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging HPD officers during his March 23 arrest.
Holley was convicted of the robbery in 2010 and just recently completed his probation.

New to Modding: Split Sides, GF's house, Air Hockey
These are 3 seperate questions I have but I do not want to flood
I am new to modding I am ok with textures but these things I would really like to know if it is possibe:
* I wonder if it is possible,to replace the Split Sides comedy routine sound files (it just repeats so I am bored of hearing the same thing) for example with bits Ricky Gervais' podcasts I own or something. I don't care it will not match the video or whatever I'm not bothered about that, but I just don't know if it is possible to do.Is it possible to find the files of the speeches in it? I've no idea where to look for..
__________________________________________________ ____________
*Carmen in one of the conversations said she wants Niko to buy her a house in Algonquin - well I wonder if it would be possible to mod where the girlfriend lives?
Either just change her heart icon to some random house in Algonquin.
Or, to" swap" homes with Dwayne? (Dwayne's favourite venue is the gentlemen's club, so it would work well for both)
__________________________________________________ __________________
*Could it be done somehow to import the EFLC air hockey and arm wrestling into the base game so that Niko can play them with Roman? I imagine it is somewhere within game folders findable with SparkIV but no idea (even if it is a script, or something different altogether) and no idea how to go about doing it if it would be possible at all.

I vaguely remember seeing something like a "picture" of various groups a while back. It was as if the elements of the group were each associated with a point and many points had segments connecting them, but not all were connected.
Does anyone know what I am talking about? If so, would you care to take the time to explain the basics (or point me to a resource, if you think google won't help)?

A driver accused of trying to run down two officers in Kansas City has been captured on the Kansas side of the metro area.
Kansas City police say the incident began a few minutes after midnight Wednesday when officers walked toward a vehicle parked in an alley. When the vehicle headed toward the officers, the officers fired several shots.
The officers then pursued the car until losing sight of it.
Kansas City, Kan., police spotted the vehicle a short time later. Police say the driver stopped without incident, was arrested and transported to an area hospital to be treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

U.S. Stocks Pause Post-Fed Rally
Defensive Sectors Sink; Jobless Claims Lower Than Expected
U.S. stocks caught their breath one day after the Federal Reserve said it will continue its open-ended economic stimulus efforts.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 40.39 points, or 0.3%, to finish Thursday at 15636.55. The blue chips on Wednesday rocketed 147 points to close in record territory after the Fed said it would continue to purchase $85 billion in bonds each month, surprising many investors who expected the central bank to dial back the program.

The S&P 500-stock index slipped 3.18 points, or 0.2%, to 1722.34, edging lower from its own record close. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 5.74 points, or 0.2%, to 3789.38, ending at its highest level in 13 years.
Investors said that the pause on Thursday demonstrated how market participants were plotting their next moves rather than rushing to buy into a market that has seen the Dow soar 5.6% so far in September, and 19% for the year.
"The Fed's U-turn yesterday caught a lot of investors off guard," said Jeff Schwarte, U.S. equities portfolio manager at Principal Global Investors PFG 4.29 % in Des Moines, Iowa. "They've created some confusion, and injected a fair amount of uncertainty into future policy actions."
Utilities and consumer-staple stocks lagged as seven of the S&P 500's 10 sectors lost ground. These so-called defensive sectors, which tend to pay higher dividends, were the biggest beneficiaries of Wednesday's rally after the Fed's decision increased their appeal relative to bonds. Home builders such as Lennar LEN.B -3.30 % and D.R. Horton, DHI -2.55 % which climbed more than 6% Wednesday, also suffered sharp declines.
"These names had dramatic runs yesterday, and you're seeing profit taking," said Yousef Abbasi, New York-based market strategist at brokerage JonesTrading Institutional Services.
More broadly, investors were left to ponder the meaning of stocks at all-time highs with a message from the Fed that the economy isn't yet strong enough to stand on its own.
"The market hasn't contemplated exactly why the Fed did not start" trimming its bond buying, said Kristina Hooper, U.S. investment strategist for Allianz Global Investors. "Part of it is concern about tightening financial conditions. They are also concerned about some weakening in economic conditions."
Fed Chairman Ben Beranke said in a news conference Wednesday that while stimulus could be pared later this year, policy changes are tethered to the underlying economic data, and that the central bank didn't have a fixed schedule to end bond purchases.
European markets rallied. The Stoxx Europe 600 gained 0.6% as investors cheered the Fed's decision. Investors also shrugged off data showing that U.K. retail sales for August fell unexpectedly. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index climbed 1%, while Germany's DAX 30 advanced 0.7% to a new all-time high.
Asian markets also gained, highlighted by strength in the emerging markets. Indonesia surged 4.6%, Thailand rallied 3.3% and the Philippines advanced 2.8%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 1.8%.
U.S. Treasury bonds pulled back Thursday as investors cashed out some chips after Wednesday saw the biggest rally since November 2011. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 2.748%, after tumbling to a five-week low on Wednesday, as prices fell. Bond prices rise when their yields fall.
With the Fed out of the way for now, investors said the focus turns to economic data. Initial claims for jobless benefits in the latest week rose to 309,000, from an upwardly revised 294,000 in the previous week, but below expectations of an increase to 330,000.
In other data, sales of previously owned homes rose unexpectedly in August to the highest level since 2007, versus expectations for a decline, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Crude-oil futures declined 1.5% to settle at $106.39 a barrel. September gold futures rose 4.7% to settle at $1,369.40 a troy ounce. The dollar lost some more ground against the euro but gained against the yen.
In corporate news, shares of J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.20 % fell after regulators in the U.S. and U.K. fined the bank $920 million for actions tied to its 2012 "London Whale" trading debacle.
Oracle ORCL -0.36 % rose after database software company reported late Wednesday fiscal first-quarter revenue that fell short of expectations and provided a downbeat earnings and sales growth outlook for the current quarter.
Rite Aid RAD 0.43 % rallied after the drugstore chain reported a surprise fiscal second-quarter profit, helped by improving pharmacy sales, and raised its full-year outlook.

6 Hilarious Failures Celebrities Want You to Forget
The great thing about pop culture is that you usually know what to expect from it. As surely as the sun rises each day, Quentin Tarantino will direct a bloody, profanity-ridden foot fetish film, Alan Moore will write disturbing magical monster erotica, and Bruce Willis will play a relatable dude you should not under any circumstances fuck with. All is right with the world. But now and again, somebody doesn't play by the rules, and everything we understand about the universe is thrown into question. Like the time ...
#6. Arnold Schwarzenegger Directed a Made-for-TV Christmas Special
Getty Images/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
The Famous Person:
Arnold Schwarzenegger is famous for his uber-masculine roles in The Terminator, Commando, Predator, and basically anything else where a gun makes passionate love to an explosion. He is the exact opposite of the guy you'd want to direct your silly, feel-good holiday movie. Dude wouldn't teach the Grinch to love; he'd shove a grenade in his mouth and walk away while it blew.
The Out-of-Character Credit:
In 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger directed a made-for-TV romantic comedy titled Christmas in Connecticut for reasons that cannot be scientifically explained.
Dead Hooker Blackmail is the 3-1 favorite over Cocaine at 5-1.
Christmas in Connecticut was the TNT-funded remake of the 1945 version, with Dyan Cannon as a cooking show host who befriends forest ranger Kris Kristofferson after he heroically rescues a boy from a blizzard. Cannon's manager then decides to capitalize on the publicity by having her host a live TV special where she will prepare a Christmas dinner for Kristofferson.
Unfortunately, in spite of hosting a cooking show, Cannon cannot actually cook, and since she is apparently a cold and unforgiving monster, she also has to hire people to pretend to be her family. You know where this is going: blah blah wacky misunderstanding, emotional confession, Christmas spirit, and Cannon and Kristofferson fall in love. The holidays, everybody!
The porn parody uses the exact same cover.
Everybody takes some odd jobs at the start of their career, but this wasn't early '80s Schwarzenegger -- this immediately followed Terminator 2. That movie made all of the dollars. We had to go back and print more just to give them directly to Schwarzenegger every time he flashed a tragic thumbs-up. Hollywood would have let Arnold direct and star in every role in Schindler's List if he had asked nicely. There is no reason he would agree to do this project, aside from an intense passion for WASP-y Christmas films, or perhaps to force himself to learn to say the word "Connecticut."
#5. Neil Gaiman's First Book Was a Biography of Duran Duran
Darryl James/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The Famous Person:
Neil Gaiman is a geek demigod. He's the creator of The Sandman comics, as well as an entire asylum full of dark fantasy novels that combine fairy tales, mythology, and the twisted imagination of a man who looks like Professor Snape's illegitimate son. The only reason he's not Tim Burton is because Tim Burton called dibs on "Tim Burton" first.
Michael Buckner/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"That son of a bitch did the same thing to me the first time we saw Helena Bonham Carter."
The Out-of-Character Credit:
Early in his career, when Gaiman was just trying to get published to put ramen in the cupboard, he was given the opportunity to write a book about rock music. How cool is that? Of course Gaiman said he'd love to write about some hip, sexy rock band -- maybe the Velvet Underground? The publishers laughed and laughed. Apparently the sarcastic air quotes around "rock music" didn't come across over the phone. He was given a choice between writing his "rock book" about Barry Manilow, Def Leppard, or Duran Duran. He opted for the last one, because he had to live with himself afterward.
Proteus Publishing Co.
Hungry like the guy who's a week late with his rent.
In 1984, Neil Gaiman, the impending god-emperor of sexy, literate semi-goths, documented the rise of a synth-pop band in a biography titled Duran Duran: The First Four Years of the Fab Five. For the sake of his future dignity, we hope he never had to repeat that title aloud. As his success in the literary field skyrocketed, Gaiman initially tried to conceal what his debut published book was, for incredibly obvious reasons. Eventually he admitted to it in a 2010 interview, since by then he had collected enough frilly black panties to build his own floating island.
#4. John Grisham Wrote the Plot of Christmas With the Kranks
Columbia Pictures
The Famous Person:
John Grisham's fast-paced legal thrillers like The Firm, The Client, and The Pelican Brief still make up roughly 60 percent of all airport bookstore sales around the world. What you are less likely to find there is Grisham's 2001 novel Skipping Christmas, which became the basis for the 2004 "comedy" film Christmas With the Kranks. Funny, we must have been in the bathroom when Tim Allen's corrupt law firm framed him for murdering a prostitute.
"Dead hookers worked on Schwarzenegger. It'll work on you."
The Out-of-Character Credit:
Christmas With the Kranks stars Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis as Luther and Nora Krank, a couple who feel depressed that their daughter is not going to be home for Christmas, so they decide they're going to spend the holidays on a cruise instead. This draws the wrath of their psychotic neighbors (led by Dan Aykroyd), who are aghast at the Kranks' decision not to decorate their house and stay home like everybody else. By the end of the film, the Kranks decide to celebrate Christmas after all, because blah blah wacky misunderstanding, emotional confession, and Christmas spirit again.
Columbia Pictures
Luther gets really into stocking stuffers.
Christmas With the Kranks' questionable Yuletide message did not go over well with critics, as the film currently holds a 5 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes. When you watch a Grisham adaptation, you expect to see Tom Cruise strangling a corporate hit man in a parking garage, not Tim Allen strangling the abstract concept of comedy on a dining room table.

The sinewy streambed has been defined and the first layer of gravel has been laid. At the end of the new creek channel, just before it turns into something more like a running creek, there is a pond, built by Conservation Corps. Work has also been completed on the pedestrian path and to stabilize the new stream bed banks. The project is now buttoned up for the winter to await spring planting.
|Project Description:
The Ravenna Daylighting project includes work on two segments of the creek (one in Ravenna Park, and one in Cowen Park). See separate fact sheet for daylight project in Ravenna Park.
Within Cowen Park the project will recreate a streambed feature in the filled ravine. While the source waters of Greenlake are no longer connected to the watershed, there is a possibly to pick up subsurface seepage. The feature would also provide an outlet for both existing and future drainage from the Cowen Park meadows. The project will be coordinated with other improvements in Cowen Park.
Project History/Background:
At the turn of the century, Ravenna Creek flowed from source at Green Lake, along what is now Ravenna Boulevard, and into Cowen Park. It carved a deep ravine through what is now Cowen and Ravenna Parks. It dropped from an approximate elevation of 175 to 130� within Cowen Park as it flowed eastward into Ravenna Park on it�s way to Union Bay. As the watershed was developed, the stream and associated wetlands were gradually reduced, diverted and filled. Green Lake was lowered by seven feet in 1911. The remaining stream above Cowen Park was directed into a sewer pipe, leaving only the springs within the parks as source water. Springs within Cowen and Ravenna Park continued to feed the stream. When I-5 was constructed in the early 1960�s much of the Cowen ravine was filled with dirt and debris from roadway cuts through the city. The fill was leveled, and play fields and meadows were created.
Today Ravenna Creek starts out as a wetland in Cowen Park just below the park entrance at 62nd and Brooklyn. The surface water is minimal in Cowen Park. The creek is spring fed throughout Ravenna Park. Near the lower end of Ravenna Park, the creek is diverted into King County�s trunk sewer system. The total length is approximately 3500 feet from Cowen wetlands to the King County sewer intake structure.
In 1990 Metro proposed a new pipe conveyance project to separate Ravenna Creek from the sewer system. The Ravenna Creek Alliance (RCA) formed in 1991, with the alternate proposal of daylighting the creek from Ravenna Park to Lake Washington. While the primary focus of the Metro Project and the Ravenna Creek Alliance was on the creek from Ravenna Park to the outlet, community interest was expressed in daylighting or recreating the creek within Cowen Park as well. In 1997 the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association obtained a Neighborhood Matching Fund grant to develop plans for park improvement. The resulting Cowen Park Site Improvement Plan includes a restored stream natural area was included in the Cowen Park Site Plan. The site was incorporated in the 1999 Roosevelt Neighborhood Plan.
Anticipated Impacts:
Creek restoration construction may impact trail access in late 2002 or 2003. Creek development may improve drainage in the meadows and improve habitat for birds, amphibians and invertebrates.
At the Open House held July 23rd, people who have planted native vegetation now buried under invasives requested a chance to tag their plants to be removed and replaced. If you have plants you would like saved, please notify the Project Manager (contact information above).

His Bridge—but Still Called Another Name
He was born in the Bronx, grew up in Newark and built his political career in Manhattan. But former Mayor Ed Koch held a soft spot for a bridge that went to Queens.
"My bridge," is what he called it after the city unveiled its new name in 2011, the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. But like many city landmarks given new monikers, the name hasn't quite stuck and was still unknown to some New Yorkers on Sunday, even after Mr. Koch's name and legacy were thrust back into the spotlight after his death Friday.
Queens resident Antonio Miqui appeared confused when asked about the Koch bridge. "What bridge?" he asked. Then he pointed to its steel beams and spires. "The Queensboro Bridge? Because that's the Queensboro Bridge. Maybe the 59th Street Bridge. I never heard it called the Ed Koch Bridge before."
New Yorkers have a particular loyalty to the old names of the city's distinctive monuments and streets, even after they have been renamed. No matter the signs, Avenue of the Americas remains Sixth Avenue in the course of most daily conversations, while new names for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (Hugh L. Carey) and the Triborough Bridge (Robert F. Kennedy) have yet to widely creep into the city's lexicon.
"Half the streets in New York have another name on them, but we don't really call them that," said Kenneth T. Jackson, a professor of history and social sciences at Columbia University and the author of "The Encyclopedia of New York City." Over time, new names "sometimes stick," Mr. Jackson added. However, "it may take a long time."
To help the name change take, the city Department of Transportation has put up new signs referring to the bridge by its new moniker. And radio traffic reporters have begun using it more frequently. But there's still more work to do.
Naim Psm, a 26-year-old Queens student who immigrated from India, said he was taught to call it the Queensboro Bridge.
"It's the name people here know who don't speak English, Queensboro Bridge is the name they learn," Mr. Psm said.
What to call the Queensboro has been a point of contention for years. Manhattanites have long called it the 59th Street Bridge, a designation Simon and Garfunkel made famous in a song. That name irks some Queens residents, who see it as a snub.
Renaming the bridge for Mr. Koch was a divisive fight. A March 2011 Quinnipiac poll found 64% of New Yorkers didn't want the name changed. Several city politicians spoke against it at charged public hearings.
"If we want to honor Mayor Koch, and I think we should, we should name the municipal building beside City Hall after him. That didn't have a name already," said Peter Vallone, a council member from Queens, in a Sunday interview. "No one calls it the Koch Bridge in Queens."
A spokesman for Queens Borough President Helen Marshall applauded Mr. Koch's record as mayor but suggested that his name would be better placed on a Manhattan landmark.
"In Queens, it's the Queensboro Bridge...It's viewed as the front door to Queens," said the spokesman, Dan Andrews. "It's going to take a long time to catch on, because it's a long name. That's not really how New Yorkers speak."
Mr. Koch had said he was delighted that the bridge would take his name, but exactly why he loved it isn't clear. It is known more for its unrelenting traffic than its beauty. It does join Queens with the Manhattan congressional district he once represented, and he has been quoted calling it a "work-horse bridge," an image he identified with as a politician.
At the rededication of the bridge, Mr. Koch quoted "The Great Gatsby," saying, "The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world."
"Isn't that wonderful?" he said. "And that's my bridge!"

March 29, 2011 8:00 PM
Executives at Tokyo Electric Power delivered a stark assessment of the situation at the Fukushima nuclear power plant Wednesday, saying that while reactors one through four are stabilizing, they are still not yet under control.
Airborne radiation readings around the plant are continuing to fall, but workers face a tough job in taming reactors one through four. Tokyo Electric Power Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata says that, when that job is done, the future of the reactors is clear.The four stricken reactors will never come back online, said Katsumata. He would not yet commit to the future of reactors five and six at the plant or the nearby Fukushima Daini plant, where smoke was briefly seen coming from one of the reactors. And he acknowledged that the utility company might face strong public opposition to restarting any reactors in Fukushima.As for the future of the company, Katsumata said it is serious. He is now heading Tokyo Electric Power's battle at the plants.He replaces President Masataka Shimizu, who was hospitalized Tuesday, suffering from dizziness and high blood pressure. The president has not been seen in public since March 13, two days after the problems began.At the plant, levels of radiation in the nearby sea are rising.Measurements taken on Tuesday show levels of radioactive Iodine 131 at more than 3,300 times the legal limit in seawater a few hundred meters to the south of the plant. That is the highest it has been since the crisis began.Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said a panel of nuclear specialists is advising the government on how to shut down the reactors and prevent more leakage of radiation.The government is considering all options, said Edano, including the use of a radiation absorbing fabric that could cover the reactor buildings.Edano said there are still problems with highly radioactive water in buildings and tunnels at the plant and that work to remove it is going slowly because of a lack of places to store it. The government is considering using a tanker ship as a storage vessel for the water, Edano said.
He added that it is likely to be some time before residents evacuated from 20 kilometers around the plant are able to return to their homes.Meanwhile, the government announced a new set of safety measures for the country's nuclear power stations.
They directly address some of the shortcomings in Fukushima and require vehicle-mounted power supplies and the deployment of fire trucks to douse reactors and spent-fuel pools, should cooling be lost.

On June 26, the archives of the now defunct Waltham College Club were presented to the Waltham Historical Society in a brief ceremony at the Bright School.
The Waltham College Club was founded in 1913 to foster fellowship among college women and promote education, service and charity in the community. It also awarded a scholarship to a Waltham High graduate each year.
The detailed minutes and program books of the Waltham College Club provide a glimpse into life of Waltham women for almost a century and recognize that women did not have the right to vote until 1920.
Many of Waltham�s most well-known women served as officers in the organization. The officers reluctantly disbanded the Waltham College Club in 2008 as a result of a change in societal interests and a dwindling, aging membership, according to the organization.
The presentation was made to Waltham Historical Society President Wayne McCarthy and archivist Joe Keefe by two former presidents of the Waltham College Club, City Councilor Kathleen McMenimen and School Committee member Margaret Donnelly. Providing additional support and archival material were past presidents Regina Pacitti and Jackie LeClair.

Hi I'm not a DBA so forgive my ignorance. I don't have access to administrator tools etc. However, I do know that we have a live server which is approaching capacity ie 80%-90% full perhaps.
What is happening is that our web-application has started not writing certain records and it appears as though SQLServer is attempting to write a duplicate primary key in certain tables. I don't understand this and as this is an auto-generated column it is completely out of our control.
Is this a possible symptom of the server getting too full? Surely a DBMS should manage this kind of thing safely?

A Discussion of the Traditional and Modern Characteristics of the Spleen Pulse
by Peter van Kervel
Before going into details about pulse diagnosis and pi, the translation of pi into spleen has to be explained. Pi - 脾 � is translated in all of the Chinese dictionaries as spleen. The functions of pi, as presented in �A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine�, are the following: the organ that lies against the lower face of the stomach. [The spleen, know from western anatomy, lies at the left side of the stomach. The described organ must therefore be the pancreas.] The spleen is ascribed the function of assimilating nutrients from food and drinks in the stomach, to make qi, blood and fluids. [It has to be noticed that the Chinese stomach organ � wei � starts at the lips. From the lips towards the cardia, the sphincter of the entrance of the stomach is seen as the upper jiao of wei. The middle jiao of wei is the actual stomach organ, with the fundus, corpus, anterior wall, greater and lesser curvature and antrum. The lower jiao of wei-stomach is known from western anatomy as the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The main process of transformation of food takes place in the duodenum, induced by pancreatic fluids.] The spleen governs transformation of grains and fluids and distribution of its essence. [Transformation of food is guarded by enzymes produced by the pancreas, such as lipase for fats, protease for proteins and different types of enzymes to break down polysaccharides.]
