neural tube defect in which the bones of the spinal column do not close completely around the developing nerves of the spinal cord during the development of the embryo. As a result, part of the spinal cord may stick out through an opening in the spine, leading to permanent nerve damage. Children born with spina bifida often have a fluid-filled sac on their back covered by skin. If the sac contains part of the spinal cord and its protective covering, it is known as a myelomeningocele; if it does not, it is known as a meningocele. The signs and symptoms range from mild to severe (depending on the location and extent of spinal cord involvement) and can include a loss of feeling below the level of the opening; weakness or paralysis of the feet or legs; problems with bladder and bowel control; hydrocephalus; and learning problems. With surgery and other forms of treatment, many people with spina bifida live into adulthood. There is also a milder form of the condition called spina bifida occulta.[1]Spina bifida is a type of

In a year in which the global accountancy profession has been promoting ways in which it creates value for business, I am delighted to be able to report to you how ACCA continues to bring value to its members.
Performance outcomes
Given our focus on meeting the needs of employers, the findings of a recent independent survey of 1,300 employers in 20 countries in which 50% rated ACCA as the leading global professional accountancy body in reputation, influence and size are particularly significant. ACCA was cited more frequently than any other professional accountancy body. It has also been pleasing to see continued strong growth in our membership. ACCA now has 147,000 members and it is the largest international body in 54 markets.
Value to members
We continue to invest in our future as a professional body. Council is especially pleased to note the significant enhancement to strategic planning and resource allocation across the organisation. Critically, we are aware we remain in a challenging economic environment and we need to ensure sound financial stewardship and cost consciousness in all that we do. As part of its drive to be fit for the future, there is good progress towards a vision of global online service for all customers, with developments having a positive impact on our global carbon footprint, more details of which are in our second CSR report.
Creating and sustaining value for business
I was proud to lead our delegation to the 18th World Congress of Accountants, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ACCA was Gold Sponsor of the event with its theme Accountants: sustaining value creation, attended by over 6,000 delegates from 130 countries. ACCA communicated powerfully on change required to strengthen the global profession and we were delighted to sign a hugely significant Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. While attending the WCOA, I and Council colleagues were privileged to meet with ACCA networks across Malaysia.
ACCA members creating value
Council also held a highly successful meeting in Prague in 2010, its third such international meeting, where we were able to witness the huge contributions our members make to business and the high regard in which ACCA is held in the Czech Republic. I also want to pay tribute to Council colleagues and ACCA staff for their support, advice and enthusiasm in the past year, which has seen ACCA continue to enhance its offering and reputation and continue to develop as an acknowledged global leader in the accountancy profession.

Jason Beck reported on Tuesday evening that Alex Avila injured his left patella tendon during Monday nightтАЩs loss to the Seattle Mariners. Avila, who suffered from soreness in both knees at the end of last season, implied that playing through the pain wouldnтАЩt risk further injury.
тАЬI canтАЩt do anything more to it,тАЭ Avila said. тАЬItтАЩs just a pain tolerance issue. ItтАЩs not going to require surgery or anything like that.тАЭ
ItтАЩs tough to catch all the action when the Tigers are out west due to the late start times, but MLB.com does a decent job of making highlight videos available. Here are some quick links to get you caught up if you missed portions of the game.
DirksтАЩ RBI single тАУ Austin Jackson lead off the game with a double, and Andy Dirks immediately knocked him home with a base hit to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
DirksтАЩ two-run double тАУ Andy was back at it the very next inning, lacing a double down the right field line plating Brennan Boesch and Gerald Laird to extend the lead to 3-0.
YoungтАЩs two-run double тАУ Delmon Young joined the fray two batters later with a double of his own. Dirks and Prince Fielder came around to score to make it 5-0.no comments
One of the biggest oddities of the early-season Detroit Tigers has been the inconsistent results of starting pitcher Max Scherzer. HeтАЩs allowed 22 runs in only 31.1 inning of work, and has struggled to pitch deep into games (Max has pitched into the sixth inning in only three of six starts). But even though heтАЩs labored in many of his outings, Scherzer currently finds himself leading the league in strikeouts per nine innings (at 10.3).
So, if he seemingly still has good stuff (and I donтАЩt think he could rack up the strikeouts if he didnтАЩt), then why hasnтАЩt he been able to keep his ERA even below 6.00? I think itтАЩs clear that Scherzer hasnтАЩt pitched very well in several of his starts, I donтАЩt want to absolve him of all the тАШblameтАЩ, but I think heтАЩs also been more than a bit unlucky to start the year.
MaxтАЩs 6.32 is horrible, but his FIP and xFIP (two ERA estimators that look only at strikeouts, walks, and home runs) are 3.85 and 3.84 respectively. And we see that even though Max had a seven walk outing in New York, his 3.7 BB/9 rate, although higher than weтАЩd like it to be, isnтАЩt completely out of line with his 3.1 BB/9 career average. And neither the walk rate, nor his 1.15 HR/9 rate is enough to explain the 2.47 run difference between his actual ERA and his FIP numbers.no comments
The Detroit TigersтАЩ offense is taking some heat after managing to score only ten runs in the series against the Chicago White Sox (thatтАЩs 3.3 runs per game, or nearly half the run scoring pace we expected them to hit to start the year). But I think the disappointment (all though justified) is overshadowing three very good pitching performances from members of the starting rotation.
The Tigers were facing a тАШmust win seriesтАЩ (or as close to must win as you can get in early May) with Drew Smyly (a rookie), Max Scherzer, and Rick Porcello (who had both been plagued with some recent struggles). But the three hurlers pitched more than admirably. HereтАЩs the combined line:no comments
The Tigers must be ecstatic to see Fister return. The club was 0-3 when his rotation slot came up while he was out (three starts by Adam Wilk), so they could do for a boost. Fister is 8-1 with a 1.70 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP since he joined the Tigers late last season. Justin Verlander got all the attention (and he did deserve it), but Fister was every bit as good for the Tigers during the stretch run.
Fister pitched four innings of scoreless ball with five strikeouts, one walk, and two hits allowed last week in a rehab start for the Toledo Mud Hens.

I recommended Alex Avila for the position yesterday, but it looks like Leylend has not heeded my advice. Dirks has a .302 batting average this season, but hasn't yet drawn a walk in 44 plate appearances. So, even though his average says "he's a good hitter", his on-base percentage is just .318 meaning he makes an out a bit more often than the average major leaguer does.
Still, he's been producing a lot more then Brennan Boesch has this year, so the move is probably a good one (even if it's not the perfect one). Hopefully Boesch will take the move down as an opportunity to clear his head at the plate, because he hits the ball as hard as anyone when he's swinging the bat well.

text: Automobili Lamborghini is the manufacture of probably one of the most loved sports cars by men and woman alike. This Italian company was founded in 1963 by a man who owned a tractor factory. Lamborghini is now a subsidiary of the German car manufacturer Audi AG, which is also a subsidiary of Volkswagen. My favorite is the Gallardo Lamborghini V10 which has a top speed of 309km/h or 197 miles per hour. With this tutorial I will show you how to draw this beautiful work of art. Of course mine doesn't look as good; in fact my drawing doesn't even do the Gallardo justice. I decided to color my car blue I had a problem with the front tire, it looks kind of flat. In my initial sketch I used a regular pencil and a sheet of sketch pad paper. This tutorial will show you "how a Lamborghini". Basically it consists of a bunch of line art which is why it's so easy. Color your car to your fancy you can probably make it better then mine. My hand wasn't that steady since I was so tired when I drew it. I wanted to put a race track or something behind it but as you can see it didn't work out that way. Learning how to draw a Lamborghini, step by step", has never been so easy. Have fun people!

In the coldest part of Canada, the middle of nowhere as you like to call it, you live with your family and a few friends. Not a lot of people live in the town, it's barely large enough to make a city with around 1000 people tops, and its far too small to make any mark on a map. It's biggest attraction, ice fishing, and we know how many people love to do that. Exactly, not that many. You get about 30 tourists a year and not many people move here because of the temperature. It could be winter all year round as there is always snow on the ground, but you get used to that after a while of living there. Time to bundle up and keep warm for the whole year, and make sure the thing from hell doesnt devour you.
The thing is a beast that youve tried to figure out where its from, but you can only come up with irrational answers such as hell. It is the most disturbing thing, eight claws, and huge wide eyes and is completely white from head to foot. Is it an animal, or maybe a human that has stumbled into toxic waste? What is it really, and will you ever actually find out before it devours you mentally first and then physically. When the thing hunts you down, it stings you, *****s you even, leaving a small green mark where it punctured. You figure out that the thing only feeds in the coldest temperatures and only feeds on youth. It gets into your mind and into your dreams. You wonder, why didnt it just eat me? Then you start thinking crazy things, and start having terrifying nightmares of the thing chasing you and hunting you down. The dreams arent even the worst part; the worst part is that unlike ordinary dreams, you can feel the pain that it causes you. If the monster devours you in the dream, there probably arent chances of you ever waking up again.
There has got to be a way to kill the thing and you have to figure it out before your time is up, or else it will keep feeding on kids in the area, making them disappear without a trace. Time is running out and there has got to be a way you believe to rid yourself of this beast. Can you figure out how to get rid of the beast? Or will you be eaten by it when your time runs out?

Other: Lives in a family of two, his mother and himself. His father died when he was four from cancer and he has one younger sister. He has an overprotective mother that is always calling to check up on him and his social life isn't very good because of it. His grades stay at around a B average even though he barely tries he still manages to get semi-good marks.
Opening Paragraph:
Sitting at his old, worn in desk with it's distinct graffiti and chiseled in sides, Myles tried to concentrate on what the teacher was explaining to them about trigonometry, some rule for angles maybe? He couldn't remember. As he watched out the window at the falling snow, he couldn't help but wonder if the bell would ever ring. That would be a good thing when it did, the downside would be he would have to trudge home in the snow. His mother wouldn't let him catch a ride with anyone anymore as the last time he did, the car he was in lost control and slid into a snow bank in a ditch and she found out about it right away, she even made him sit in the hospital room for three hours, even after they said he was fine. Here, when something happens, everyone knows pretty quick, the news of anything spreads like a contagious disease that you cannot avoid. Watching the clock tick away, he tapped nervously on his desk with his pencil, watching the seconds go by. It was merely three in the afternoon and it was already starting to get dark through the thick haze of snow he noted. Hopefully he could find someone to walk home with, maybe a close by neighbor. "So what's the answer Myles?"
He snapped back into reality as the stares of other students burned into his core.
"Uh...sorry sir, I don't know."
Snickers erupted in the room and he felt the heat creep to his face.
He always does that to me, but of course not to the other kids when they don't pay attention. Myles opened his book to the right page and tried to pay attention to what the teacher was saying.
Is that a camera I see in the mirror or is it a clue hiding among pictures?

The Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society received an unexpected donation today.
Marguerite Causey died in her seventies nearly two years ago.
She decided to take her money and donate it to local charities.
On Monday, the Humane Society received $5,000 from Causey's estate.
Executive Director Lorri Hare says she didn't know Causey, but is grateful the shelter was thought of.
"There are so many people that are animal lovers that we may not have a tie to personally but they know that we try to save as many lives as possible and that truly would not be. You know, we would not be able to do that without our community and hopefully she knows that we'll try and stretch that money as far as we can and save as many lives as possible," Hare says.
Hare says the Humane Society is run solely off grants and donations and depends heavily on the community's support.

I've heard that due to a bug in the terrain generation locations in the positive direction (i.e. (3,5),(100,200)) give more materials such as iron. I can't find any proof this claim, however. Is this true?
As of 1.6, this has been fixed.
Begin Original Answer
Okay, the original link comes from this answer here.
This, in turn, links to this reddit article, from which the following image is drawn.
In addition, one of the reddit comments explains why this appears to be the case, quote:
This thread discusses the details of this bug, and there is a fix starting from this post - quote below. This was implemented in v1.6:
The original thread that investigates the distribution of ores is found here, and contains various images of the distribution.
Quote from the same post:
Pre-1.6, a rounding bug resulted in the South-West quadrant yielding more ore. The bug is fixed as of 1.6:
Once the world is generated, the ore is "set in stone" so to speak. It won't change the already created blocks so if you have a pre1.6 world you'll still have all the larger deposits in your -,- areas. New areas will be unaffected by the bug if they are generated in 1.6. Just as it's common for long time servers to have areas without new trees or lapiz in the ground.
I'm usng minecraft 1.5.1 and so far I noticed whenever I go towards the negative direction I find myself in an ocean biome with hardly any islands at all. I found less ore but actually had a cluster of 6 diamonds(or more as I used tnt to mine that cave). On another map I was testing a theory if you player level affected ore spawn and I got around level 52 and went to an extreme hills biome and found 28 emerald ores and about 4 stacks of iron or more and I hadn't even seen lava yet. I also got about 13 diamonds later in that cave so if someone can further test this theory it would help a lot. Note you need to get a high level THEN move to a new unloaded area. I'm sure extreme hills are always generous with ores so that could also be it.

wow! maple syrup is so expensive in Ireland, I've never seen that much of it in one place! the cupcakes look delish :)

Mmmmm, your cupcakes look soo good. Maple syrup is great on pancakes and in baking.
I always think of Canada when I buy maple syrup in the store.
The festival looked like a lot of fun for the whole family; I wish we could have something like that around here!

I've been eyeing the maple walnut cupcakes in VCTOTW. I really do thing everything tastes better with pure, dark maple syrup: oatmeal, tofu, tempeh, cookies, and the list goes on!
Amish baking? You make me curious!

Oh man....I haven't bought any maple syrup since this time last year. I'm thinking maybe it's time to shop for some...I have to be careful though, cuz I can snarf maple butter and maple sugar by the pound. (That's one of the many reasons I was a fat little kid.)
- April 27, 2008 at 7:01 PM
- Chris said...
I'm jealous of all that maple syrup! It's probably a helluva lot cheaper than what we can get it for around here :(
And of course I really must try those cupcakes.

- SaraJane said...
I have yet to make those cupcakes, but oh boy do I want to. I think I might try sneaking in some of that yummy maple butter in a cupcake or cookie somewhere. Might be a nice alternative to frosting?
- April 30, 2008 at 12:07 PM

Yeah, I wasn't so crazy about the maple frosting recipe in VCTOTW. I think maple butter would be nice.

I'm a little confused as to how to solve this word problem I have. The problem is: A rectangular box (with a top) has a square base. The sum of the lengths of its edges is 8 feet. What dimensions should the box have in order for its surface area to be as large as possible?
My work so far is:
x = Length of side of base (ft)
y = Height of rectangular box (ft)
M = Surface area of box (ft2)
The question asks for the largest surface area possible with a rectangular box that has a square base and the sum of whose edges is 8 ft. To determine that, we must first determine the formulas with the given information for the sum of the edges and the surface area. The area of a square with side length x is x2, and the area of a rectangle with side lengths x and y is xy.
4y + 8x = 8
4y = 8 – 8x
y = 2 – 2x
M = 2x2 + 4xy
M = 2x2 + 4x(2-2x)
M = -6x2 + 8x
And that is the quadratic equation for the surface area
Also, for the bottom line, if that is truly the equation, would that be considered the equation for the surface area, or should I reword it to something else? Thanks!

Can't get correct image path in image component
Hi guys,
I've been testing Sencha Architect for a few days and I can't find the correct path for it to be displayed properly.
Wouldn't it be easier if we could have a file explorer or something like that ?

All relative urls within Architect are relative to your working directory or where you deploy your application. This can be set in the settings of the Project under urlPrefix.
You can set relative paths or absolute paths via an http url.Aaron Conran

Ok then, I'll have a look at that, but a helper like autocompletion or something like that would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the answer !

Setup your url prefix so that it correlates to where your project lives in http terms.
Ie if my webroot is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot or ~/Sites/ this might correlate to http://localhost/.
If my project is stored in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myproject or ~/Sites/myproject/ then it would correlate to http://localhost/myproject/.Aaron Conran

- Pain and inflammation following dental, orthopaedic (bone) and other minor surgery.
How does it work?
Motifene capsules contain the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, which is a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation. (NB. Diclofenac is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.)
Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases and conditions, and cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Diclofenac blocks the production of these prostaglandins and is therefore effective at reducing inflammation and pain.
Diclofenac is used to relieve pain and inflammation in a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including various forms of arthritis, gout, sprains, fractures, dislocations, back pain, tendinitis and frozen shoulder. It is also used to relieve pain and inflammation following dental, orthopaedic (bone) and other minor surgery.
Motifene capsules contain 25mg of diclofenac as enteric-coated pellets and 50mg of diclofenac as modified-release pellets. This design provides rapid initial pain relief, followed by a sustained action that lasts throughout the day.
The enteric-coated pellets have a special coat that is designed to prevent the absorption of the diclofenac in the stomach, and thus reduce the risk of stomach irritation. When the capsule reaches the intestine, these pellets dissolve and the diclofenac is absorbed into the bloodstream. This provides the initial pain relief.
The modified-release pellets are designed to release their diclofenac slowly and continuously over a few hours. This provides more prolonged pain relief. The capsules are usually taken once or twice a day. They must be swallowed whole to avoid damaging the pellets.
The capsules should preferably be taken with food to further help avoid irritating the stomach.
How do I take it?
- The dose prescribed and how often to take the medicine depends on your level of pain and inflammation. It is important to follow the instructions given by your doctor. These will also be printed on the dispensing label that your pharmacist has put on the packet of medicine. If you are unsure about anything, talk to your pharmacist.
- Motifene capsules are usually taken once or twice a day.
- Motifene capsules should be swallowed whole with a drink and not broken, crushed or chewed. They should preferably be taken with or after food.
- Try to space your doses evenly. If you forget to take a dose at your usual time take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. In this case just leave out the forgotten dose and take the next dose as usual. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
- This medicine may cause dizziness, drowsiness or visual disturbances and so may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you and you are sure it won't affect your performance.
- This medicine may mask the signs and symptoms of infection, such as fever and inflammation. This may make you think mistakenly that an infection is getting better when it isn't, or that an infection is less serious than it is. For this reason you should tell your doctor if you get an infection while you are taking this medicine.
- Your doctor will prescribe you the lowest effective dose of this medicine for the shortest possible time necessary to relieve your symptoms. This is to minimise the chances of any side effects, particularly those mentioned below. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose.
- NSAIDs can occasionally cause serious side effects on the gut, such as ulceration, bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestinal lining. This type of side effect is more likely to occur in elderly people and in people taking high doses of the medicine. The risk can also be increased by taking certain other medicines (see end of factsheet). It is important that these people, as well as people with a history of disorders affecting the stomach or intestines, are closely monitored by a doctor while taking this medicine. If your doctor thinks you are at high risk of side effects on the gut you may be prescribed an additional medicine to help protect your gut. All people having treatment with this medicine should stop taking it and consult their doctor immediately if they experience any sign of bleeding from the stomach or intestine, for example vomiting blood and/or passing black/tarry/bloodstained stools.
- In recent years research has shown that use of diclofenac is associated with a small increase in the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The risks increase with higher doses and the longer the medicine is taken. These risks are very rare and the benefits of the medicine for pain relief still outweigh these risks for most people. However, if you have existing heart or blood vessel disease (see below) the latest advice is that diclofenac is not suitable for you. Your doctor can prescribe you a different painkiller that has lower risks for you. If you have risk factors for heart disease or stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or smoking, your doctor will need to assess the overall benefits and risks before deciding if this medicine is suitable for you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further information.
- Very rarely, NSAIDS may cause serious blistering or peeling skin reactions (eg Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, exfoliative dermatitis). For this reason, you should stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor if you get a skin rash, skin peeling or sores inside your mouth while taking this medicine. This side effect is very rare, but if it occurs, is most likely to happen in the first month of treatment.
- If you have cirrhosis of the liver, heart failure or kidney disease, you are taking diuretic medicines, or you are recovering from major surgery, your kidney function should be assessed before starting and regularly throughout treatment with this medicine.
- During long-term treatment with this medicine you should have regular check-ups with your doctor so that you can be monitored for possible side effects of the medicine. This might include routine blood tests to monitor your kidney function, liver function and levels of blood components, particularly if you are elderly.
Use with caution in
- Elderly people.
- People with a history of disorders affecting the stomach or intestines, such as ulceration or bleeding.
- Inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
- Decreased kidney function.
- Decreased liver function.

- People with a history of high blood pressure (hypertension).
- People with raised levels of fats such as cholesterol in their blood (hyperlipidaemia).
- Diabetes.
- Smokers.
- History of asthma.
- History of allergies.
- People with blood clotting disorders or taking anticoagulant medicines.
- Diseases affecting connective tissue, eg systemic lupus erythematosus.
Not to be used in
- People in whom aspirin or other NSAIDs, eg ibuprofen, cause allergic reactions such as asthma attacks, itchy rash (urticaria), nasal inflammation (rhinitis) or swelling of the lips, tongue and throat (angioedema).
- People with an active peptic ulcer, perforation (hole) or bleeding in the gut.
- People who have had recurrent peptic ulcers or bleeding from the gut (two or more episodes).
- People who have previously experienced bleeding or perforation of the gut as a result of taking an NSAID.
- Heart failure.
- Heart disease caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart (ischaemic heart disease), eg angina or history of heart attack.
- People with disease of the blood vessels in and around the brain (cerebrovascular disease), eg history of stroke or mini-stroke (TIA).
- People with poor circulation in the arteries of the legs or feet (peripheral arterial disease).
- Severe liver failure.
- Severe kidney failure.
- Third trimester of pregnancy.
- Motifene capsules are not licensed for children.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- This medicine should not be taken in the third trimester of pregnancy because it may delay labour, increase the length of labour and cause complications in the newborn baby. It is not recommended for use in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy unless considered essential by your doctor. Some evidence suggests that NSAIDs such as this one should also be avoided by women attempting to conceive, as they may temporarily reduce female fertility during treatment and may also increase the risk of miscarriage or malformations. Ask your doctor for further advice.
- The medicine passes into breast milk in small amounts. At normal doses it is unlikely to harm the baby, however it is important to discuss this with your doctor before taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding.
Label warnings
- Take this medication with or after food.
- This medication is to be swallowed whole, not chewed.

For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before taking this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.
Diclofenac should not be taken in combination with painkilling doses of aspirin or any other oral NSAID, eg ibuprofen, naproxen, as this increases the risk of side effects on the stomach and intestines. Selective inhibitors of COX-2 such as celecoxib or etoricoxib should also be avoided for the same reason.
There may be an increased risk of ulceration or bleeding from the gut if diclofenac is taken with oral corticosteroids such as prednisolone.
There may be an increased risk of bleeding, particularly from the gut, if diclofenac is taken with any of the following medicines:
- anti-blood-clotting (anticoagulant) medicines such as warfarin, dabigatran, heparin
- anti-platelet medicines to reduce the risk of blood clots or 'thin the blood', eg low-dose aspirin, clopidogrel, dipyridamole
- erlotinib
- iloprost
- prasugrel
- SSRI antidepressants, eg fluoxetine, paroxetine, citalopram
- venlafaxine.
Diclofenac may reduce the removal of the following medicines from the body and so may increase the blood levels and risk of side effects of these medicines. People taking diclofenac with any of these should be closely monitored by their doctor:
- digoxin
- lithium
- methotrexate.
There may be an increased risk of side effects on the kidneys if diclofenac is taken with any of the following medicines:
- ACE inhibitors, eg enalapril
- aliskiren
- angiotensin II receptor antagonists, eg losartan
- ciclosporin
- diuretics, eg furosemide
- tacrolimus.
Diclofenac may oppose the blood pressure lowering effects of certain medicines to treat high blood pressure, such as the following:
- ACE inhibitors such as captopril
- aliskiren
- angiotensin II receptor antagonists, eg losartan
- beta-blockers such as propranolol
- diuretics such as furosemide.
There may be an increased risk of seizures (fits) if diclofenac is used in combination with quinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin.
Ciclosporin and the antifungal voriconazole may both increase the blood level of diclofenac, and your doctor may prescribe a lower than normal dose of diclofenac if you are taking one of these.
Rifampicin may increase the breakdown of diclofenac and it may be less effective in people taking this medicine for tuberculosis.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll address each of your issues individually:
1. This can certainly be added. What should happen if the file you're currently typing in changes on disk underneath you? Should the contents of the current buffer suddenly change? I understand wanting this behavior, but for the currently active file it seems like it would be distracting...
2. Good idea, thanks for the suggestion. I'll make it so the cursor tries to keep its row/column position on reloading.
3. I agree that that would be distracting. This behavior can be added as well.
4. As for the close icon, this is easy to do in Java 6, but since RText supports 1.4+, it was never added. I could look into adding optional close icons (using reflection to do so if Java 6 is detected). I'd also like to point out that you can close a tab by middle-clicking on it (or right click -> "Close XXX", though that's one extra click than a middle-click). Perhaps that is sufficient (for the time being at least )?

I don't know how many of you are familiar with this female figure, but if you are a fan of the game you should like this lesson on "how to draw Gaige", step by step. My brother took one look at her and said "I know that character". I asked him where she was from to see if he really knew, and that is when he said she is from Borderlands. He actually has the game but he doesn't play it. As of now he is into Battlefield 4 so that is his new love. Anyways, from what I understand Gaige is a Mechromancer and one of her main skills is the ability to operate the D374-TP, or otherwise known as the Deathtrap. Anyway, have fun drawing Gaige and I will prepare my next lesson. Meet you back here soon folks or you can stick around. Peace, adios and enjoy.

Lately I experience below errors when restoring db2 database
- SQL2043N Unable to start a child process or thread
- SQL1084C Shared memory segments cannot be allocated
db2stop and then
db2start always helps.
As a part of my job (testing) I restore databases often during the day.
Current usage can be decreased via deactivating databases when is it really close to
Memory Limit. But lately only deactivation didn't help and I was still getting these errors. Then I found out that
HWM usage might be the trouble part as it is only increasing and after I do db2stop & db2start both
Current usage &
HWM usage are reset.
Is there any other way how to 'clear/reset' HWM on db2?

for file upload you always need a BE, you can't handle file uploads in ExtJS only, there is no connection from javascript to filesystem!

I see that there is an HTML version of Angry Birds. How do I use it? I'd also like to have the icon on my launcher so I can run it as it's own application.
It's just a webpage. Firefox 4.0.1 (what should ship in Ubuntu 11.04) plays it fine, albeit a little bit slower.
Play the BETA version. (Only the 63 levels of stage 1 and a few bonus levels.)
To make an ad-hoc launcher, when using Firefox, merely drag the favicon in the address bar to your desktop.
About the icon of the launcher you should go , using chrome, to the tools icon (a wrench on the right side) then to the "tools" submenu and the "create application shortcut" option after that.
Afterwards you can just drag ' n ' drop the icon in the launcher, getting what you want.
A shortcut of that style can be made using firefox as well if i recall correctly - performance is a little problematic on my firefox though
*by the way, what do you mean "how do i use it?" ?
Runs in all web browser supporting html5 I guess..my bad ..for saying it a chrome addon coz I heard the same first.
But it can be installed in chromium/chrome as a plugin as well.
Ok copied this from Gmail.desktop unity launcher but works

"They need to keep their hands off of tolling the interstate," said Elizabeth Campbell of The Democracy Workshop.
Fighting words from the driving force behind the anti-tolling initiative. The state insists it has no choice but to rely on tolling to help pay for transportation projects and to alleviate congestion.
"WSDOT always has choices," Campbell said. "In life, we all have choices. They're far from being forced to levy tolls."
The non-profit Democracy Workshop is hoping to enact an outright ban tolling on all interstates that run through Washington.
It could mean a financial roadblock for at least three state projects -- the state is considering tolling I-90 to pay for unfunded portions of construction on SR-520. The initiative could also jeopardize tolling planned for an express HOT lane on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood, and for a new Columbia River crossing bridge that would connect Oregon and Washington.
Campbell insists the federal interstates are the economic backbone of our state; and that they must be free and efficient.
But Reema Griffith, Executive Director of the State's Transportation Commission, says there is a price to pay to have a better commute.
She says she knows tolling impacts individual budget but she insists so does sitting in traffic.
In a statement, she fired back at the initiative's organizers: "The only way we can continue to address growing populations and growing demands for a more reliable and efficient transportation system is that we will need to rely on ourselves to fund the needed improvements."
The Democracy Workshop fears if voters don't put the brakes on tolls now, there will be more down the road.
"You want to stop it now rather than later when you probably won't be able to catch it," Campbell said.
The group needs 325,000 signatures to get it on the November ballot. The measure would ban tolls, but would consider tolling on case-by-case basis.
You can also weigh in on tolling on I-90.

The Motiva refinery is jointly owned by Shell and Saudi Arabian Oil Co. The new crude unit is the culmination of a $10 billion expansion project that added 325,000 bpd of capacity and made the refinery one of the largest in the world. The unit, first commissioned in May, has experienced several setbacks.
By ALISON SIDER
Motiva Enterprises said the crude unit of its Port Arthur refinery expansion in Texas leaked while
being restarted Sunday and was shut down.
Kimberly Windon, spokeswoman for Royal Dutch Shell, said the
company still plans to have the VPS 5 crude distillation unit fully restarted
"in the early part of this year."
"We anticipate making the necessary adjustments/repairs and
returning the unit to normal operation in an expeditious
manner," Ms. Windon wrote in an email Monday.

The new crude unit, first commissioned in May, recently
experienced several setbacks. Last month the company began the
process of bringing the unit back online after six months of
repairs but was stymied by a small mechanical fire and then by
evidence of another leak, sources said at the time.
Last week, the sources familiar with the refinery's operations said the crude
unit was in restart mode for the third time in 30 days.

Im surprised that Shell is getting BAD publicity.....The Deer Park plant has had numerous fires and explosions, and never seems to make the news. Now the runaway oil rig, and the dangerous issues in Port Arthur.......maybe people can see Shell for what they are......profit before safety.....firing great craftsmen to hire relatives...and fighting with the UNION on EVERY dafety issue that comes up...why? PROFIT BEFORE SAFETY!!!

No doubt that Royal Dutch Shell and Saudi Aramco have many years of experience in the field of refining, plant shutdowns and restarting. I believe many operating companies would like to listen to the "Lessons Learned" from this case to avoid recurrences at their plants which obviously would save the environment, save lives and finally our mother planet

It's disheartening to know of so many incidents/accidents in this world class refinery project. Is it due to an oversight of HSE factors or lack of concerted efforts in a safe startup/ operation or both ? I hope a proper enquiry is conducted to fix the responsibility on highly paid consultants. It's afterall a humongous waste of shareholders' money and putting to stake the safety of staff and public.
Some details of the leak may please be given for the benefit of the process safety community.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I found using the create jsb pointed to a URL was the simplest.
I've had the sencha create jsb working with my stuff with beta 1 and 2 as well as 1.2.3 version of Sencha command sdk tools.
I'll find the post where I talk in more detail about it.
26 Apr 2012 8:54 AM #22
27 Apr 2012 3:00 AM #23
inside my .senchasdk is just on line:
You can create such file in app folder and sencha command will work fine.
28 Apr 2012 8:53 AM #24
create a file called ".senchasdk" in your sdk folder with the value of "." meaning that this folder is an sdk folder.
my paths are:
/Projects/SenchaTouch2/SDK/ -- I put the .senchasdk file in here
--Hope this helps
12 May 2012 8:00 PM #25
I have the same issue. The problem is the result of a unclear installation guide. Basically, you need to
- install the SDK Tools. The current version is Beta 2.0.0 Beta3. The path should be in your Path environment. In windows, the installer takes care of it.
- download the Sencha Touch 2.0.1 zip file. This is the SDK. Unzip it to a folder, for example C:\sencha-touch-2.0.1
- Then run cmd and change path to C:\sencha-touch-2.0.1. Make sure the SDK Tools path is in the Path.
- run sencha. Now it should display 'Sencha Command v2.0.2'
25 May 2012 6:03 AM #26
SOLVED with MAC
I solved this problem on my mac like this:
Identify the folder of the SDK. In my mac is \Developer\SDKs
Download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website.
Start the installation of SDK Tools and when the installation asks for the install path, choose \Developer\SDKs .
Extract the Sencha Touch 2 SDK zip file in the folder \Developer\SDKs
Open a line commad and go to the path \Developer\SDKs
Try now the command "sencha" or "sencha generate app GS ../GS"
In my mac works good.

you need to have a file called .senchsdk for the sencha command to work
the sencha command looks for this file to determine its actions..
i created a secha project, move it around and the sencha command started giving the error u have mentioned. this happened because .senchsdk was a hidden file and was never copied around
Solution is simple. In your sencha project folder create a file called .senchasdk
its content should be: sdk
thats it. now u r set. and the command should work.
PS: its content is the path to the directory where sencha sdk is. by default that should be sdk
24 Jul 2012 4:56 PM #29
Ugh, I keep getting this problem as well, I've tried some of these fixes but I have not tried the .senchsdk yet. The issue I am having though is the path issue but it said the build and sign is successful. I'm launching the packaging function from the Architect tool though. I don't know how much of a difference that makes. I'm using the latest version of Architect, SDK and SDK Tools. I get the app create but it throws that error. It however runs in the simulator and I can add it to iTunes but when I try to put it on my device either with iTunes or Xcode, I get install errors. I've literally been racking my brain on this all day. I've got my device set up in the provisioning portal, I've got my cert, I've got my App ID, etc..
cd /Users/ashapiro75/Documents/SenchaProjects/red/
sencha package packager.json
[ERROR] The current working directory (/Users/ashapiro75/Documents/SenchaProjects/red) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder
The application was successfully packaged
The application was successfuly signed
So I take the .app that it creates, I put it into iTunes, try to add it to my device and I get an error... I'm about to give up on Sencha, it seems every time I get something down, something else changes and I feel like I am chasing my tail.
11 Aug 2012 3:28 AM #30
I've found a solution in Mac
All the trouble seems to be related to that .senchasdk file at the root of the SDK folder.
In order to make sure that the file is there:
- use the downloaded folder of the SDK as it is -> don't try to copy its contents into a different folder. I've done that and the dammed .senchasdk is not copied.
Once you launch the "sencha" command from the SDK folder, everything works fine.
Hope it helps,

How To Prep And Fit Aluminum PanelsWritten by on April 1, 2011 Contributors: The MCR staff
It's certainly no secret that one of the ways to go faster is to reduce the weight of whatever you want to move. Racers have been looking for ways to shave pounds since the very beginning of speed contests, and clearly, there are only two ways to reduce weight-remove superfluous parts or make them lighter.
We hung out with the crew at Muscle Car Restorations in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, as they installed a set of Auto Metal Direct's (AMD) all-new and recently released aluminum body panels on a '69 Camaro. AMD is the first company to manufacture aluminum parts for this car, including the hood, fenders with extensions, upper and lower valances, both bumpers, and trunk lid. The total weight savings is more than 100 pounds.
AMD stresses that these panels are made from modern aluminum that is similar to that being used on some new cars today. It is stronger and more dent resistant than the factory panels of the '60s and even tougher than some of the ultrathin, lightweight steel panels used by some of the foreign manufacturers. Once the panels were installed, we found we could lean on the fenders without fear of damage.
They're tough, but they are still aluminum, so they need some special attention as they are fitted to the car; you can't work aluminum like you can a steel panel. No heating/shrinking, heavy hammering, or cutting and welding are allowed. They can be worked, but you must be much gentler than one would imagine.

The panels all come e-coated. You can check them for straightness and/or shipping damage by checking them out under fluorescent shop lights. Any irregularity in the panel will show up as a distortion of the light's reflection. This is a similar method to that used with paintless dent repair and will reveal imperfections not readily apparent otherwise. If you prefer not to work on top of e-coat, you can sand it off with 180- to 220-grit paper, clean with PPG DX394 water-based low VOC wax and grease remover, and prep the bare aluminum by mixing PPG DX533 aluminum cleaner 1:3 with water and rubbing it into the surface with a gray Scotch-Brite pad. Let the DX533 stand for 2 to 3 minutes, rinse well with water, then blow and towel dry.As soon as possible (no more than eight hours), apply one light coat of DX1791 etching primer. Let that air dry for at least 30 minutes but no more than 24 hours (or you will have to lightly sand it prior to the next coat).Next, tack off and apply a medium coat of DP90. Let that sit overnight and then lightly scuff it with a red Scotch-Brite. Clean with DX394 again and apply a couple of medium coats of your preferred primer, then proceed with your usual panel preparation methods.Because new inner fenders from AMD are also being used and since the whole front clip is going onto a Detroit Speed front frame assembly, it was better to assemble the inner and outer fenders first before fitting them to the car, as the inner strengthens the outer and helps prevent the outer from being damaged.Don't try to draw together any parts with bolts. Aluminum may not tolerate the stress over time like steel does. You may have to fuss around a little more than you are used to to get everything to come together cleanly. MCR found that it was best to loosely assemble all the front clip parts before beginning to tighten up everything as one unit.The weight savings becomes quickly apparent when you install the 23-pound hood. The underside of the hood and the trunk lid are virtually indistinguishable from original factory parts. Once painted, no one will ever know.The hood comes with the necessary lighter-weight hood springs. Softer torsion springs are also included with the trunk lid.Like the rest of the parts, the aluminum bumpers come e-coated and can be easily painted or polished to a chrome-like appearance, then anodized, if desired. These will be chrome plated to make them indistinguishable from factory originals.If you are replacing the door skins, whether or not you are also replacing the door shell, don't weld the skin to the door until you have the front fender in place. That way if the leading edge of the door doesn't quite line up with the fender, the door can be twisted slightly to match the fender without altering the door-to-quarter alignment.
These panels turned out to be sturdier than expected. They will tolerate some alterations. Just be very gentle, as they will likely kink easier than the steel versions.Though it did take a little longer to get all the pieces together, the end result looks just like steel. We'll leave it up to you if you want to share your secret with the world.Prepping e-coated panels for paint requires a quick rough up with some 120-grit. Sand across the seams to locate any high/low spots. The goal is to have all the panels straight, not just individually, but also as a unit.If you are good with an orbital sander, you can save yourself some time. Just be sure to stay away from the panel edges and stay off the sanding disc edge as well.It turns out that the body line on the driver's fender was just a little farther out than the line on the door, so it needed to be moved in a bit. The good thing about aluminum is that it doesn't take much force to move it-which is also what's bad about it. A 1-pound dead-blow hammer used on its side just did the trick. It was important that the aluminum be moved but not stretched or hammered thin, which could have led to oil canning.A little weld was added to the leading edge of the upper door line/break to build it up slightly. This will improve the uniformity of the door-to-fender gap. These are the types of little tricks that really improve the overall look of the car but go unnoticed because, if done right, they disappear after the work is done.The last step before applying body filler is to rub down the panels with a red Scotch-Brite pad to be sure every bit of the e-coat has been roughed. Then do a quick wipe with DX394 to be sure they are completely clean and uncontaminated.Using a wide (5- to 6-inch) metal spreader to apply the 3M Platinum Plus filler will minimize the amount used and also the sanding time.
It's important to be sure to touch all of the filler with some 80-grit before the next coat is applied.The guys really like using a Dura-Block for the finish sanding. Its teardrop shape works very well on both the straight and curved parts of any panel.

Book News: Justice Department Says Apple Led Price-Fixing Ring
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- The Justice Department says Apple took the lead in an ebook price-fixing ring with five major publishing houses, according to a court filing Tuesday. The houses — Penguin, Macmillan, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and Hachette — have all agreed to settle, but Apple is scheduled to go to trial June 3. One email included in the filing and quoted in The New York Times has Apple's Steve Jobs asking James Murdoch of NewsCorp (which owns HarperCollins) to "throw in with Apple and see if we can all make a go of this to create a real mainstream e-books market at $12.99 and $14.99."
- Maria Popova excerpts George Orwell's rules for making the perfect cup of tea: "First of all, one should use Indian or Ceylonese tea. China tea has virtues which are not to be despised nowadays — it is economical, and one can drink it without milk — but there is not much stimulation in it. One does not feel wiser, braver or more optimistic after drinking it."
- For The New York Review of Books, Christopher Benfey experiments with the ancient practice of "Sortes Virgilianae" — using randomly selected lines of Virgil as a form of divination.
- Last week, NPR's Alan Greenblatt examined the question of who deserves a burial, connecting Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the unburied Polyneices from Sophocles' Antigone. Now, Daniel Mendelsohn takes a closer look in an essay for The New Yorker: "In the end, what entitles [Polyneices] to burial has nothing to do with what side he was on — and it's worth emphasizing the play is not at all shy about enumerating the horrors the dead man intended to perpetrate on the city, his own city, the pillage, the burning, the killing, the enslavement of the survivors — but the fact that he was a human being, anthropos."

There's only one scene in The War Zone that is shot in a city, which I assume to be London (as implied by the story.) The girl that the brother and his sister meet there seems to be a prostitute, set up for him by his sister. But, then she interrupts them when the "prostitute" was just getting started.
Did the sister change her mind, or did I miss something?

Call of Duty: Ghosts – Devastation map pack announced for Xbox in AprilWritten by: / / 4 Comments
Activision and Infinity Ward have announced the second downloadable map pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts, once again as a timed exclusive for Xbox platforms and due for release on April 3rd across Xbox LIVE.
Called 'Devastation,' the DLC not only includes four new and diverse multiplayer maps, but the second episode of content for Ghosts' co-operative mode, Extinction, too. If that wasn't enough, if you pick up Devastation you'll get a new weapon, the 'Ripper,' which will also become instantly available to anyone with a Ghosts season pass.
Call of Duty: Ghosts – Devastation map pack – Screenshots
[nggallery id=540 template="el33t"]
Vice president of production at Activision Publishing, Daniel Suarez commented on the content:
"The Devastation DLC Pack continues the fast-paced, fun and imaginative gameplay that Infinity Ward and Neversoft began with Onslaught. Ghosts' DLC is much more than just new multiplayer maps.
"The teams have added new weapons; the next intense continuation in Extinction's four-part, episodic narrative; and another epic, action film character soon to be revealed. Devastation, like Onslaught before it, is a ton of fun, and we can't wait for the community to experience it all."
You can see the new maps and content in the debut Devastation walkthrough video below, but you can find out a lot more with the content's official descriptions further down the page:
Call of Duty: Ghosts – Devastation DLC Pack Preview
"The first map, 'Ruins,' is located on a Mexican peninsula and set amidst the remnants of a mountaintop Mayan temple, with multiple levels providing verticality for longer-range weapons, and underground pathways perfect for close-quarters encounters. Savvy players that find and complete the unique Field Order will be able to trigger the map's volcano to erupt, and enjoy watching enemy players attempt to take cover as fiery debris fall from the sky."
"The map 'Collision,' is a mangle of debris scattered atop a container ship pinned underneath a crippled bridge in New York. This small map is ideal for run-and-gun tactics. Players that dominate "Collision" and complete the map's specific Field Order will be able take control of a heavily armed aircraft and rain down destruction from above."
"'Behemoth' takes the battle aboard a massive excavation platform in South America. Long sight lines open this map up to longer-range weapons, while the compact interiors of the control rooms are ideal for SMG's and Shotguns. Completing "Behemoth's" Field Order will allow players to control an attack helicopter armed with a deadly, armour-piercing Rail Gun as it circles the excavator searching for enemy combatants."
"Devastation's fourth map, 'Unearthed,' drops players into a re-imagined version of "Dome," the fan-favourite multiplayer map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. With a new look and all-new secrets, "Unearthed" is a compact map for all player types, who must navigate an alien artefact dig site in order to unlock the map's Field Order and unleash the power of the Cryptids, as well as locate the map's secret alien weapon."
Extinction: Episode 2 – Mayday:
"Following the dramatic events that took place deep within the Alaskan wilderness at the Nightfall Program research facility, the Quick Reaction Force team now heads onboard a mysterious Chinese research vessel drifting abandoned in the Tasman Sea in the South Pacific Ocean. Players will uncover a much deeper conspiracy as they pursue Captain Archer and discover what has become of Doctor Cross.
"Armed with multiple mod-able versions of the Venom-X weapon powered with Cryptid technology, players will come up against yet another new alien species referred to as the "Seeder," as well as go head-to-head with a massive, 100-foot tall Cryptid enemy from the depths of the ocean…the 'Kraken.'"
New Weapon – Ripper:
"Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation also arms players with the 'Ripper' – a new, tactical 2-in-1 SMG/Assault Rifle that can be used in all of Ghosts' multiplayer maps. The "Ripper" is a highly unique weapon because of its ability to quickly switch back and forth from SMG to Assault Rifle on the fly.
"A deadly addition to Ghosts' arsenal, the "Ripper" is the ideal companion across a variety of map types and tactics, providing players unprecedented flexibility with medium to short-range capability as an SMG, and medium to long-range as an Assault Rifle."
Look out for the Call of Duty: Ghosts – Devastation map pack on April 3rd for Xbox One and Xbox 360, launching at a price of $14.99 – will you be getting it?

The statue will be returned to the park once police complete their investigation. (Temple police photo)
TEMPLE (January 31, 2013)—Temple police have recovered the statue of a piglet that was taken earlier this month from a neighborhood park.
A resident reported the disappearance of the piglet, which is one of the "Three Pigs" statues secured in concrete in Oak Creek Park last week, but officials said it wasn't clear how long the statue had been missing.
Police recovered the statue on Wednesday.
It will be returned to the park once the investigation of the theft has been completed.
"The investigation into the theft is on-going so additional details cannot be released at this time," Temple police Cpl. Christopher Wilcox said Thursday.
An order was placed last week for a new piglet, which would have cost $850, but the city was able to cancel the order.
The bronze statues were placed in the park in 2007, paid for with community donations, but the city would have picked up the tab for the replacement.

The Jefferson Ruritan Club held its Christmas dinner recently at the Hilltop Presbyterian Church in rural Toronto with Robert Meyer honored with the Ruritan of the Year award.
It was presented by club President Don Clarke.
Meyer serves as the group's chaplain and is a board member. He was applauded as being a dedicated member who does much for the organization.

Club President Don Clarke, left, and Robert Meyer,
Ruritan of the Year
Clarke gave the welcome and Meyer the invocation.
Guests at the dinner were Marge Burns, Ruby Haught, Phyllis Patterson, Lisa and Joe Bruzzese, John and Sandy Corrigan and Lamont and Esther McCoy.
A representative from the Toronto Coalition of Revitalization, a group that the Ruritans support, spoke about its progress. He passed around pictures of the trails and walkways around Toronto and those to be completed north to Empire and Stratton. There will be 16 miles of trails when the work is completed, he noted.
When the Toronto High School is torn down, the area will be turned into a parking area with a kiosk there. Volunteers cleaned up an area of the trail and walkway and there were nine no-dumping signs installed along the way.
Plans are to have a bicycle safety rodeo in the near future.
Karen Meyer was presented a Christmas arrangement in honor of her Dec. 5 birthday. Poinsettia were given as door prizes to six guests.
Bill Bray noted there is a Congressional Medal of Honor member in the area, William Pittenger, who was born in Knoxville. He was a school teacher who enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 21 and served in the 98th OVI Co. C.
Pittenger was discharged Aug. 14, 1863, on a certificate of disability. He wrote a book, "Daring and Suffering" that same year. His Congressional Medal of Honor was presented Oct. 31, 1864.
Pittenger is a survivor of Andrew's Raid on April 12, 1862, and was captured at Big Shanty, Georgia. He was held captive in Tennessee and transferred to prisons in Knoxville, Tenn., and Richmond, Va., then exchanged in March 1863.
Patty Morgan played the piano for the group singing of Christmas carols.
Fred Ramsey was acknowledged for his many years of service as club secretary.

9 Innocent Google Searches That Get Porn On the First Page
#4. "Woah"
Safe Filter On:
So you try a nonsense word like "woah" and what do you get? Bunch of pictures of Keanu Reeves, right?
How about boobies, in the very first image on safe search. Huge, cartoon, barely covered boobies. Oh, and the lady has a red scarf in her mouth for some reason.
The second result is one of those classic internet "WTF" pictures that in fact did make us say, "woah." Good work, Google.
Filter Off:
Give us a moment here, while we go gouge out our eyes and move to a monastery. And not because of the guy swinging his dick in our faces on the very first result, though that certainly didn't help. No, it's the woman on the second result. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING ON HER LAP?
It's like some skinless slimy alien probe oozing up to put the moves on her.
So to recap, the first four images for "woah" are:
Man swinging cock at camera;
Woman fucking slime alien;
Huge-titted cartoon puking a scarf;
Dudes torturing an alien in a shower.
As of now we are having serious doubts about this project. Let's take this as far in the other direction as possible. Let's try...
#3. "Inspector Gadget"
Safe Filter On:
For once, the result turns up exactly what we were expecting: pictures of Inspector Gadget. Even better, most are of the cartoon version that entertained many kids in the 80s and had Gadget voiced by Don Adams, rather than the shitty movie with Matthew Broderick.
We were delighted to think back to a simpler time, when we didn't have all these adult worries like paying our bills by searching for Inspector Gadget porn for Cracked.
Should be no problem to turn the filter off...
Filter Off:
Ah, nothing to see here. Same lineup of images. Only... they seem to be offset by one, as if one extra image has entered the lineup. Let's look down at the end of the second row...
Oh, holy shit. That would appear to be Inspector Gadget fucking his little girl Penny.
Wow. Cartoon porn, incest, pedophilia, it's the Dateline: To Catch A Predator trifecta. DAMN YOU, GOOGLE!
All right. We're going all the way. Let's try "Lord."
#2. "Lord"
Safe Filter On:
Jesus Christ! That's what Google suggests we should be looking for in its related searches. When Google is telling you that you need to find Jesus that's a pretty good sign that this search may send you straight to hell.
Otherwise the geeks dominate this page with Lord of the Rings results taking up several spots, and Lord Kelvin near the top. This not only isn't porn, we're firmly in realm of the virgins. Seems like we're out of the disturbing porn woods, guys!
Filter Off:
Apparently the movie poster for Lord of War was too provocative for the safe search... wait, what's that down there in the second row?
Woah! We have a gay bondage porn emergency here!
Yes, on the sixth freaking result for "Lord," the internet presents us the DVD cover for Lord of Milking. And it ain't about cows.
Lord and Lady Kelvin don't seem phased by this. Though, up close, the Lord's eyes appear to be closed.
In disapproval? Or ecstasy?
#1. "Nuns"
Safe Filter On:
Come on, internet! It's nuns! But even with the safe search on, what do we get?
Five nuns, ten ass cheeks and one trip straight to hell. While we knew Catholic schools played a large role in the fantasies of males of all ages, it usually involved plaid schoolgirl outfits, not nuns. Right?
Wrong. If you were actually searching for a picture of the stern, 200-year old nun we used to censor these images, you'll need to find another search term, because this safe search returns nothing of the kind.
Nuns having fun, nuns with buns, nuns with runs (in their panty hose) and nuns with big 'uns.
Filter Off:Of all the searches, this is the one that returns the skankiest picture? "Nuns"?
Sure enough, the tenth result is a nun straddling a guy in reverse cowgirl while blowing another dude. Let us stop the article one last time and remind you we didn't search for "naked nuns" or "sexy nuns" or "nun cowgirl + blowjob." Just "nuns."
It's not just one pic, either. We also have two nuns in a field enjoying each other's God given body, and another of a nun painting a naked dude (perhaps just moments before naked cowgirl blowjob action ensues).
Oddly, only with the filter off did we find the stern nun we ended up using to censor all these images. Bloody wrists with ruler indentations await us if we don't close the browser right freaking now.
