Social networks and multiplayer online games have drastically gained in popularity over the last decade. Likewise smartphones have become interesting targets for extending social networks and multiplayer games thanks to their innovative features such as intuitive user interfaces. Mobile versions of games and social network applications often make use of special capabilities of smartphones such as GPS and accelerometer. Porting these applications to different smartphones incurs high overhead due to their different programming models. To facilitate this porting effort, we introduce XMLVM, a byte code level cross-compiler to overcome the heterogeneity of the different programming models used by various smartphones. Specifically, we show how XMLVM can cross-compile an Android application to the iPhone and the Palm Pre, thereby significantly reducing the porting effort. The cross-compiler is based on Java byte code instructions that are translated to high-level programming languages supported by the targeted smartphone. Compatibility libraries map the API between smartphones. As a proof of concept, we have implemented a strategy game the demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.

Tax records can tell
- • where our ancestors lived.
- • when they lived there. (when they moved or death implied)
- • occupations.
- • relationships.
- • age and marriage.
- • socio-economic level.
Designations on lists may give identifying information to distinguish men of the same name. These might be occupations or "son of X," or perhaps just "1st" or "jr" and "sr."
Occupations may be noted where they are taxed.
Usually listed alphabetically by township or military district which gives better indication of "neighbors" who may be related.
Pennsylvania place men on "Freeman" list until they marry. You can estimate marriage year.
Estimate age by knowing legal age of taxation with appearance on the rolls.
Main problem with using tax records is availability: what still exists and where are they?
Learn about the availability through general research guides to the state of interest. These might be the chapters in The Red Book or The Handy Book, or individual state guides such as the National Genealogical Society Research in the State Series (http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/research_in_the_states) or the "FamilySearch Research Wiki" (https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Main_Page).
Published tax lists:
- • Search library catalogs -- especially in the desired locale. Local libraries may have unique items not generally available elsewhere.
- • Search WorldCat to know what has been published.
- • Midwest Genealogy Center has some duplicate copies which may be "circulating" and therefore available through inter-library loan. St. Louis County Library may have copies in the National Genealogical Society book loan collection which also would be available.
Know that not all tax lists have been abstracted. Just because it hasn't been published in book form does not mean it doesn't exist. Quite often tax lists have been abstracted because a demand exists. As people moved westward leaving only information about the state in which they were born coupled with the sometimes absence of early censuses, published tax lists are a great aid in locating specific locations of origin.
Kentucky has lost all censuses for 1790 and 1800
Tennessee has lost all censuses for 1790, 1800 and almost all for 1810. All eastern Tennessee censuses lost for 1820.
Some North Carolina censuses lost for 1790, 1810, and 1820.
Ohio censuses lost for all counties except Washington in 1800 and 1810.
Tax lists have an advantage over censuses in that all males of taxable age will be included; whereas, only heads of households are listed on the census.
Originals or microfilms may be in their original locations (tax assessors' offices) or in libraries or archives. Quite often even though some tax lists may have been microfilmed, it is not likely that ALL the tax lists for a given locale have been microfilmed. Some locations have destroyed early tax records, e.g., Christian County. Virginia and Tennessee tax lists have been extensively microfilmed. Tennessee tax lists are not available through inter-library loan.
Throughout US history, taxes have been collected at a town level, county level, state level, and federal level. Town taxes usually are usually found in New England. County and state taxes may have been assessed and collected on the same lists. States would offer incentives for taxes to be collected by the county in order to avoid creating extra infrastructure. State tax lists were sent to the state which means that tax lists for burned counties may be extant.

Carrot truck flops on interstate
Published: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
SALUDA -- A tractor-trailer loaded with 40,000 pounds of carrots turned on its side Monday morning, narrowing a quarter-mile of Interstate 26 to one lane for most of the day.
The driver, 37-year-old Scott Deyton of Ellenboro, lost control of the truck as it was traveling in the eastbound lanes of I-26, said N.C. Highway Patrol trooper Bobby Watts.
The accident happened about one and a half miles from the Saluda exit around 9 a.m. when Deyton took his eyes off the road as he was reaching for a drink, Watts said.
The next thing Deyton knew, the vehicle had swerved onto the shoulder, which slopes downward toward a hillside, Watts said. When Deyton tried to steer back toward the highway, the sharp turn caused the truck to roll in the opposite direction.
Watts said neither Deyton nor the passenger, 39-year-old David Porter of Albemarle, was injured, and no other vehicles were involved. Watts charged Deyton with unsafe movement.
The tractor-trailer, owned by Mary B. Turner Trucking, was headed from California to Boiling Springs, where the trucking company is located.
By 2:30 p.m. Monday, a crew finished loading the carrots into another trailer but the original was still on its side.
The task of towing the tractor-trailer went to Jim's Towing Service of Hendersonville, which managed to get the truck upright and out of the area by around 4:30 p.m.

Re: "I don't deny that a carbon tax wouldn't be a financial
burden on Americans in these trying times, but . . . ."
And, of course, what you don't mention [maybe your USU prof forgot to mention it] is that the deranged financial burden on American families you demand, would have not the slightest effect on either atmospheric CO2 levels, or on global warming.
It would greatly benefit the UN and bloated, unaccountable, unsustainable government and its liberal cronies and supporters, but no one else.
No real people.

For about the past 15 years global warming hasn't happened. (Something the
mainstream media isn't likely to tell you).
Nevertheless here are ideas that would be good if they were implemented.
1) Put a tax on all imported oil sufficient to pay for the military force necessary to ensure it remains available.
2) Make use of Yellowstone and all other geothermal in the United States.
Were we to impose this tax on imported oil, then renewable energy wouldn't be as expensive in comparison.

Remote Sensing highlights NASA satellite data which shows that the atmosphere has been shedding heat long before United Nations computer models predicted global warming.

procurator: "Why do liberals hate young, struggling American families so
Sheesh. Why do conservatives so easily fall for reactionary rhetoric? Why do you so easily believe that voting against the interests of the middle class and your own futures is the right thing to do? Why do you so belligerently reject scientific reality? Do you think that if you just plug your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and whistle loudly that the science of global climate change will just go away?
The only down side to the carbon tax is that it will _slowly_ begin to shift our economy away from the worst polluting sources of energy and towards less damaging energy production. The result will be cleaner air and water, less dependence on unstable foreign regimes for our energy and a badly needed economic kick in the pants in the area where the US still excels, barely - technology.
Yep - with a tax on carbon you might discover that a 10 mpg SUV and a home forty miles from where you work isn't the wisest use of your money, but it's your choice. Is that bad? I don't think so.

Is the air cleaner in Utah today than it was fifty years ago? I remember well
the first year that we lived in Salt Lake City, 1955. The winter air was full
of smoke from the wood and coal burning furnaces that many people used to heat
their homes. As the years went by and as people converted to natural gas, much
of the haze disappeared. Of course we still have a problem, but that problem is
the result of living in a bowl. Most of the people in Utah live in a bowl.
With the right weather conditions, pollution is trapped in the bottom of the
bowl. If all driving were banned during those times, we would still have
significant pollution. Would the letter writer have us turn off our
America is a much cleaner country than most other countries in the world. Taxing us into oblivion will not clean up the air, even if man-caused CO2 pollution were actually a viable problem.

cjb: "For about the past 15 years global warming hasn't happened.
(Something the mainstream media isn't likely to tell you)."
They doesn't "tell you" because it isn't true. Land-Sea temperatures in the 2000-2010 decade are far warmer than the previous decade, which was far warmer than the previous decade, etc.
The only way to get the "no warming in 15 years" is to severely cherry pick data. A global, decade-to-decade perspective is as narrow a filter as you dare apply and still have honest research. "No warming in 15 years" is a cynical, intentional distortion of the science.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are now 400+ ppm, higher than in hundreds of thousands of years. Analysis of atmospheric carbon shows that it's from burning fossil fuels, not natural sources. Changes in solar output has been studied and eliminated as a source for warming.
Sea levels _are_ rising, there's a lot more heat energy now in the oceans, and together this means a greater expected frequency of powerful storms.
Climate is changing tremendously faster than any natural climate change, and species can't adapt that fast.
We own this problem, and it's our responsibility to act on it.

@ Blue. Read the UN climate change report published recently, "Why the earth has not warmed for 16 years". It is an excellent report and explains the hoax of manmade global warming and what miscalculations were made by global warming advocates.

Good article, but the carbon tax could be "free". A carbon tax could
return all proceeds to citizens. This would "pay for" any price spikes
at the pump. In Canada BC has a carbon tax that reduces other taxes. This has

I would be totally in favor of this tax on one condition - it is that all the
carbon tax collected goes into my bank account.
If the goal of the author and like-minded individuals is really to reduce CO2 and not just to concentrate wealth into the hands of a bunch of bureaucrats, then the author should be just fine with my proposal, right?
What is important is that behavior is changed and the planet is saved, so it shouldn't matter if all the money goes to me. I can probably put all that money to much better use than could the UN or any other tax collecting body.

The degree to which additional carbon dioxide influences the climate of the planet is often referred to as climate sensitivity to CO2. The understanding of the world's climate scientists of the physics of this sensitivity is expressed in their computer generated climate models. These are the models which predict the future temperature and climate of the earth if CO2 emissions continue at various rates.
These models are fundamentally flawed and invalid. They are over predicting the amount of temperature increase as a function of increasing CO2 in the earth's atmosphere. As each month passes the divergence between the temperatures predicted by the models and the actual measured temperature increases. Until this problem is solved and the models are corrected, it is unwise to spend a single penny on reducing mankind's carbon footprint.

I have completed the port of my network server from C to Common LISP. As you may recall, I started with CLISP (because I was familiar with it and because I liked the implementation). After running into a few road-blocks, I decided to port it to CMUCL as a tool for comparison. (My experience with CMUCL in the past was not very pleasant.) I can now make the following generalizations about CLISP/CMUCL from the standpoint of a single-threaded TCP-based network server: 1. Sockets. Both implementations (via their FFI) can provide reasonable bindings to sockets. Definitely avoid socket streams, though. For my TELNET server I needed access to: socket, bind, listen, accept, send, recv, close, select, fcntl, setsckopt and getsockopt. All but the send/recv and select interface could be handled with more or less equal facility in CLISP and CMUCL. select() would have been more natural in CLISP, except that it doesn't allow you to create a heap-resident foreign-pointer. If it had, I would have allocated 3 fd-set objects on the heap and re-used them over and over. CMUCL doesn't handle this any better, though. I have to convert bignums into fd-sets for each select() call. CMUCL wins on send/recv. The ability to create SAPs from data arrays is a big win for CMUCL. If possible, CLISP's FFI should be enhanced to provide them IMO. 2. Inrerrupts. CMUCL's interrupt handling is definitely superior. By stealing the SIGALRM handler and defining it as: (lambda () (incf *ticks*)), it become very easy even in a single-thread to interleave time processing with select() processing. 3. I have not played with CMUCL threads. Since my C design was single-threaded already, and I was hoping to use CLISP as my implementation, I decided to keep it single-threaded. However, now that I have it running under CMUCL, I may decide to use MySQL (as opposed to flat files) for my data storage. A multi-threaded environment makes this more palatable (for real-time response reasons). Summary: 1. CLISPs FFI is quite good. It could improve with heap allocated foreign object types and CMUCL's SAPs are a clear win. 2. Being able to attach LISP code to a SIGALRM proved extremely handy, not only as a way to keep track of time in general, but as a way to cause select() to terminate as time events occur. 3. Threads are not necessary, but they're a nice convenience. Sadly, I think I have made the transition to CMUCL for this application. Dave

It is worth noting that if the A dividend is not reinstated by Sept. 30, the A's will get two seats on the Board. Management is trying to avoid this consequence, and is negotiating with lenders to allow reinstatement prior to Sept. 30.
Richard, you surprise me with your statement. If NEOCC could land a contract with females at least they would be housed in a very clean, very professional facility. We accomodate inmate moves for balance with men and I'm sure the staff would do the same for female inmates.
Thanks, rdld88. That certainly clears that up?
I did call NEOCC. First there are no urinals fir the inmates, just toilest. Second the rumor about females coming is not coming from the last few works there. They don't know anything.
Yeah, pads and meds. Oh, and cell moves to accomodate the ever-changing romantic scene.
Nevermind the toilet or shower configurations. The basic research question is have they ordered any "pads" lately. Any jailor knows that if you run out of "pads" in a female facility, you could have a riot.
your sense of humor doin' in the corrections business?
That also explains why Johnstown isn't in NE Ohio.
NEOCC has individual commodes in each cell. Another question might be the shower facilities, which are semi-private. I'm not completely sure, but I believe the State of Ohio (Indian meaning "Beautiful River"), requires female officers to staff housing units. There is some goblidygook about a male announcing himself or whatever. I don't think there are any such restrictions on common area such as education or recreation.
BTW, NEOCC is in Youngstown (Italian meaning "Walk the Streets After Dark and You Gonna Die")
At one time NEOCC/CCA was interested in an Idaho contract which supposedly would have been co-ed. Don't know if this is the rumor referred to or not.
Calling NEOCC is an option, but trust me when I tell you, they are the masters of the
As for you General, get your mind out of the toilet and get it back here in the gutter with the rest of us.
you don't miss a thing. I have not heard anything about the females. This would be some good news.
You identify yourself as being in Ohio, perhaps you're even close to the NEOCC facility in Johnstown.
The General, having thus far managed to avoid incarceration in a penal facility (it's only a matter of time), is unaquainted with its toilet facilities. Does each cell have its own commode or are there group toilets?
If there are group toilets similar to public restrooms, wouldn't a prison intended for male prisoners have urinals as well as commodes? And wouldn't urinals be useless in a prison serving females?
So, if females are to be housed in the NEOCC, wouldn't at least some of those urinals be replaced by commodes?, in which case it is likely that a plumbing permit would have to be obtained from the local building department (whether city or county) inorder to make changes.
So, rdid88, if you're not that far away (like most of us) from the NEOCC facility, why don't you, tomorrow, pick up a phone and call the permiting department having jurisdiction over the NEOCC, and find out whether a plumbing permit has been taken out to effect some alterations?
And, if so, how many 'equipment' changes will there be? This could provide an indication as to how many female inmates are being planned for.
Or, of course, you could just call the NEOCC and ask them.
This kind of 'tactical' thinking falls under the oxymoron known as "military intelligence."
It is also consistent with the fact that the General has often been accused with having his (demented) mind 'in the toilet'.
That they may be doing, but I doubt it will be successful. The preferred A dividend is not so expensive that paying it would prevent the company from making its interest payment, yet the banks have not allowed it in over a year. As noted on the conference call, they're trying to get their credit line refinanced in advance of the big $300 million due 1/1/02 - it may not be worth it to fight over the PrfA dividend when there are bigger issues at stake.
As for the board seats, read your proxy materials carefully - the process for getting PrfA shareholders on the board must be instigated by the shareholders, not by the company. You guys will have to get together on this. Of course, we know RAUGAR wants on - what an interesting voice THAT would be.
i am sure that if given the chance...no payment in oct....seats will be added..but not so important..company doing well ...cash flow strong....refinancing will be done at a savings of 20 to 40 million per year....i think that atleast 1 buck a share in earnings...stock 25 to 40 within 12 months...the momentum is strong.....this company looks like it did 5 years ago except the facilities are open vs years ago they were always awards to be built and opened in 1 to 2 yeARS..now they are all open sell losers etc...we use to have a market cap of 4.5 billion....now less than 500mil.....soon company will earn more than 1 per share.....heading towards my 25 to 40 short term target......time to continue buying and ride this one again

How does velour flake?
The headband, not the earpads nor the clothy part under the plastic part of the headband. The headband does have a tendency to flake after a while. I suspect mine is due to my large noggin.
Do you guys who have flaking headbands use a headphone stand?
I don't have one yet but i rest my headphones on top of a large piece of packing foam. It was meant to be temporary but i never got around to buying a proper stand.
Mine were purchased used with the paint already flaking off of the headband.
I don't have a stand, and like you, I hadn't gotten around to do so. I remember reading in this thread that those who use headphone stands tend to have less flaking.
yea thought so, which is why i keep mine on top of the packing foam because i know of the flaking issue with the HD650. mine thankfully is still in good condition
Is that Django Reinhardt in your avatar? Awesome!
Which reminds me I need to find my copy of his CD to rip (lost my music library due to HDD failure).
yeap Django is my avatar, been listening to it ever since it featured in the original mafia game, my first real foray into jazz.
I never used a stand. I mostly stored mine in their box.

According this edition of the EU Employment and Social Situation Quarterly Review difficulties on the labour markets remain persistent in a context of economic stagnation. They are marked by ever higher unemployment at EU level (10.7% in November 2012) and rising divergence across Member States, while the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU now accounts for nearly one-fourth of the EU population.
The share of the EU population reporting their households are experiencing financial distress has risen sharply in recent months, while living standards and the perceived quality of life have declined with the crisis. On the positive side, the unadjusted gender pay gap in the EU declined between 2008 and 2010.

Change or innovation diffusion is a key issue for most business organizations but is yet difficult to implement as the change management process is often complex as it relies on an organized methodology to complement an organization's commitment and participation. An ambiguous environment surrounding change mechanism tends to develop unintended attitudes, resulting in resistance and conflict. The study proposes a model for the management of such conflicts among change participants (involved and affected) in the context of organizational change. The authors consider organizational change process as an innovation project that treats change and conflicts holistically with the Ulrich's notion of boundary considerations (boundary critique). A social network setting of multiple stakeholders is considered to effectively help in resolving problematic situations that hinder organizational learning and change. The proposed model provides a theoretical foundation based on concepts governing Critical Systems Heuristics (CSH), change theory, stakeholder theory and conflict management.

I have 3 plugins (form, chat, poll) that carry a 10 javascripts (ajax) and that makes the site very slow.
However, only use those plugins in 2 pages of my blog.
How to configure function wp_head() to load some plugins on some pages only?
Example: if you only use the chat plugin page id 12, then only that page loads the js, css and all dependent on this plugin, to work.
Thank you.

Opponent Profile: St. Louis' Pass Rush Poses Giant Threat To Big Blue's OffenseLast week, the New York Giants (5-9) played against Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. This week, the Giants take on the other half of the RG3 blockbuster trade, as they travel to St. Louis to face the Rams. Pride is a stake, as two non-playoff teams face each other in an otherwise meaningless contest.
Aaron Donald Has Some Believing St. Louis Rams Have Created A New 'Fearsome Foursome'Ask Aaron Donald and he'll tell you without a doubt, that he believes he couldn't have landed in a better spot when he was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft with the No. 13 overall pick.
Dottino: With The 12th Pick In The NFL Draft, The New York Giants Select...Giants general manager Jerry Reese knew he had plenty of work to do, and he plugged a ton of holes in free agency. Now comes the hard part -- the NFL Draft.
Who Will The Giants Take In The Draft? Here Are Some PossibilitiesFortunately for New York, which picks 12th, this draft is so deep that whomever Reese grabs should be a potential starter from Day 1. Here's a look at where the Giants might go in the draft.

Product Overview
Full HD 3D Recording and Side-by-Side Format CompatibilityThe GS-TD1 gives you both 3-dimensionality and high quality recordings. It's now possible to shoot 3D videos in either 1920x1080 Full HD resolution using the L/R Independent Format or in the Side-by-Side Format adopted by broadcasters. This allows for these videos to be burned in 3D to Blu-ray discs or to AVCHD DVDs, always viewable on 3D TVs either way. The GS-TD1 also highlights simple operation allowing you to enjoy 3D right away.
3D Digital Stills:
In addition to videos, you can also shoot still images in 3D. These 3D pictures offer up to 2 Megapixel (1920x1080) high resolution. Plus you can also take 2D pictures that deliver 2.9 Megapixel (2304x1296) higher resolution. Either way, you'll love the results.
FALCONBRID Engine
|This newly-developed high-speed imaging engine enables highly efficient processing of two individual Full HD images simultaneously at as high as 34 Mbps within a single chip. These two Full HD images are what comprise the L and R images of this camera's exceptional 3D image, much the way your eyes actually see things.
|New optics were custom designed and manufactured by JVC, incorporating the finest high-precision materials such as aspherical lenses and extra-low dispersion glass. What's more, this camera is equipped with twin lenses to capture true 3D images just like your eyes do. High quality, multiplied by two, is what GS-TD1 optics are made to deliver.
Dynamic 3D Sound:
3D and 2D Disc Creation
|Recordings in the Full HD 3D mode can be burned to a Blu-ray or DVD disc in the format of your choice – Side-by-Side 3D video or Full HD 2D video.
Clearly capture the subject in 3D even from a distance. The camera automatically adjusts the parallax level while zooming so the 3D depth always looks natural and the scene looks real.
Glasses-free 3D LCD Monitor:
You can enjoy 3D viewing right on the camera's high-resolution 3.5" LCD without any special glasses needed. This means you can check out how the 3D image actually looks in real time while you shoot - no unwanted surprises! Rely on easy and intuitive touch operation while you're at it.
Super LoLux with Two F1.2 Bright Lenses and Back-illuminated CMOS Sensors:
The F1.2 lens is approximately two times brighter than conventional camera lenses, and is a perfect match for the Back-illuminated CMOS Sensor. You'll be able to record in low light environments with confidence. Record indoors or outside in darker situations with brilliant results. Record birthdays, weddings, sporting events and everyday life without the need for additional lighting.
Advanced Image Stabilizer:
Camera-shake compensation is another important feature of a video camera. Our Advanced Image Stabilizer (A.I.S.) expands the effective area at wide angle, delivering powerful compensation for camera shake. Now, you can enjoy stable results even if you're trotting alongside your subject.
*Especially effective when shooting bright scenes at wide angle (from full wide to 5x)

SIMON HEFFER: If he fails to woo White Van Man, Dave's set for a crash
Tory trouble: A majority of Brits think David Cameron is out of touch
Long before outspoken Tory backbencher Nadine Dorries accused her party's leadership of being 'posh boys', there were widespread concerns about whether David Cameron and his political circle understood the lives of typical voters.
A new poll, claiming that 70 per cent believe the Eton and Oxford-educated stockbroker's son PM is 'out of touch', suggests the problem is far from solved.
This week we learned that five of the six people drawing up the Tories' election manifesto are Old Etonians — the sixth is George Osborne, who slummed it at London's elite St Paul's (where annual fees are as much as £31,000).
Entering this debate is the thoughtful Tory backbencher Robert Halfon, who represents the Essex town of Harlow. He wants the Tory leadership to work much harder to win the support of aspirational, hard-working people. Otherwise, he fears, they have no hope of winning the election.
They are a similar group of voters to whom I had in mind nearly a quarter of a century ago when I coined the phrase Essex Man.
Back then, they were people liberated from Socialism by Margaret Thatcher — treated for the first time as aspirational and economically enfranchised by being able to buy their own council homes.
Mr Halfon describes such values today as 'white van' conservatism.
The principles that this white working-class espouses haven't changed much since Mrs Thatcher's day: the wish to own their own home, to send their children to university and to keep more of what they earn rather than pay high taxes to fund a bloated state.
That is why incentives must be offered by the Conservatives if they are ever to win back these traditional Tory voters.
The challenge is made more difficult by the rival appeal of Ukip. It wants to control immigration, reclaim sovereignty from Europe, stop billions of pounds being squandered on overseas aid, create new grammar schools, cut taxes for low- earners, boost the Armed Forces and increase social mobility.
Once, most of these were Tory policies. But under Mr Cameron, priorities include giving taxpayers' hard-earned money to African despots as foreign aid and making same-sex marriages legal. The problem is so acute that one senior Tory MP told me this week that his constituency membership had 'evaporated' since last year, mainly out of anger over gay marriage.
Significantly, one of the party's former major donors, hedge fund manager Michael Hintze, has demanded repayment of a £2.5 million loan, because he is so unhappy with the same-sex marriage policy.
It is crucial that the Tories come up with a series of measures that appeal to millions of working-class people.
And that doesn't mean token patronising gestures, such as this week's suggestion to cut taxes on bingo.
One sensible way would be to offer voters an immediate referendum on Europe. Also, the Tories must do more (preferably through tax incentives) to encourage business start-ups and improve infrastructure in areas such as Tyneside and Lancashire.
And they should harness the entrepreneurial spirit and aspiration of the immigrant communities of Northern and Midland towns and cities, and appeal to their deep sense of family values.
This strategy would be helped, too, if the Tories counter their socially elite image by making sure the voices of Yorkshiremen William Hague and Eric Pickles, and plain-speaking Liverpudlian Nadine Dorries, are heard as well as those of the 'posh boys'.
The men in white vans and their families are not yet fatally lost. But if the Tories remain deaf to their needs, they very soon will be.
Don't ignore this call to arms
The serious depletion of Britain's Armed Forces makes it much harder to run a foreign policy because potentially hostile countries know politicians don't have the force to back up their words.
America, too, this week announced a reduction in the size of its army to the smallest level since 1940. No wonder Russia is manoeuvring on Ukraine's borders and brandishing its fist.
The world is a dangerous place and what is happening in Ukraine should be a wake-up call.
The serious depletion of Britain¿s Armed Forces makes it much harder to run a foreign policy
IT shame mocks the rule of law that 187 suspected terrorists in Northern Ireland, some accused of the gravest crimes, should have been excused prosecution as part of the so-called peace process.
The public should have been told of this morally repugnant arrangement at the time.
This scandal further diminishes — if that is possible — the reputation of the Blair government, which seems to have wanted to present the 'triumph' of peace at any price, irrespective of what it involved.
Punishment beatings and knee-cappings continue to this day, and the gangsters have not gone away, concentrating now on drug-dealing.
The problems of Ulster, I fear, are not over, merely paused.
Put judges on a five year plan
Judge Keith Cutler outraged public decency by suggesting a 20-second silence before conducting the inquest into the killing by police of gun-toting criminal Mark Duggan.
This week, he appalled Britain by giving a derisory four-year jail sentence to a thug who killed a harmless man with a punch.
Though most judges are first-class, it is very hard to hold to account those who are out of touch with public opinion.
It is time to put them on five-year, renewable contracts.
The Left's poverty of ideas
Even many in the Labour Party are admitting that Ed Balls's unpopularity among voters is a reason why Ed Miliband might struggle to win the next election
The Left's use of the phrase 'child poverty' is highly emotive and is often a false measure of a child's true well-being.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith is right to broaden the definition from meaning a household with an income of less than 60 per cent of the average.
He should also come up with an alternative and more objective term. Instead of talking about 'child poverty', we should speak about 'family deprivation', something that takes into account factors other than just income.
Even many in the Labour Party are admitting that Ed Balls's unpopularity among voters is a reason why Ed Miliband might struggle to win the next election.
Now Lord Mandelson, who as an acolyte of Tony Blair once feuded with Mr Balls, feels he ought to endorse him as a fine Shadow Chancellor.
Given Lord Mandelson's innate bad judgment, I suggest Mr Balls ought to start looking for a job outside politics.
I find it deeply demoralising that Lib Dem MP David Laws should have been rehabilitated with a government job despite admitting to an eight-year expenses fiddle worth £40,000. But to make matters worse, in his post as education minister, he now says grammar schools should reserve places for children from the poorest homes.
This is absurd: such schools should select pupils according to brains, not parental income.
Scarcely a day passes without the Scots being told what will happen if they vote for independence.
There will be no currency union with England, no automatic membership of the EU, no BBC — and possibly no Eurovision Song Contest entry! Leading businesses, such as Standard Life, also say they might have to move over the border. These are almost unanswerable arguments in favour of the Union.
So, why does Mr Cameron think he needs to engage in absurd stunts to win over the Scots, such as holding a Cabinet meeting in Aberdeen?

the declaration states that she sent it a certain day( which i donnt know if she did) and that i have not cashed it yet
Real Estate Attorney
All you can declare is what you know for a fact is true. In this case, you can declare that you have not received the money order (and, obviously, that you have not cashed it.) Do not declare anything about what your tenant did or did not do - you have no way of knowing that.
This answer is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. No attorney -client relationship is created herby. Every circumstance is unique - consult a qualified attorney for advice if needed.

Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
I agree with my colleague; do not sign any declaration that is not true or for matters that are not withing your personal knowledge. Why is the tenant seeking such a declaration from you? Are you in the process of evicting the tenant? The tenant should report the money order as lost and try to obtain a refund.

[Full-Disclosure] iDEFENSE Security Advisory 04.13.04 - Microsoft Help and Support Center Argument Injection Vulnerability
Date: 04/13/04

Microsoft Help and Support Center Argument Injection Vulnerability
iDEFENSE Security Advisory 04.13.04
April 13, 2004
Help and Support Center is a feature of Microsoft Windows that enables
users to download and install software updates, check hardware
compatibility and perform other system related tasks.
Exploitation of an argument injection vulnerability in the Help and
Support Center feature of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
HCP URIs are handled via the following command as defined in the
registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\HCP\shell\open\command:
"C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe" -FromHCP -url "%1"
The %1 is replaced by the argument to the HCP:// URI. By embedding
quotes in the argument, it is possible to insert new arguments to the
command. For example:
HCP://" -url "../../unreachable.htm
When the %1 is substituted in, this gives:
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe -FromHP -url "HCP://"
-url "../../unreachable.htm"
An attacker can compromise a vulnerable system by crafting a URL to
inject scripting code into a pre-existing file such as
System\errors\connection.htm. The scripting code executes under the "My
Computer" zone.
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary
code under the context of the My Computer zone. Script code executing
with such privileges can be crafted to retrieve and execute arbitrary
third-party code, thereby leading to further compromise.
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in the latest
versions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.
As stated in Microsoft advisory MS03-044, the HCP protocol can be
unregistered, thereby preventing successful exploitation. This can be
accomplished by deleting the key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HCP' using the
windows registry editor.
Microsoft has issued the following security bulletin to address this
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011
Security Update for Microsoft Windows (835732)
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CAN-2003-0907 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

Be rid of The Swan manageress!!
On behalf of all the customers who visit the Swan Hotel.
It has come to my knowledge that many regular customers are APPALLED with the attitude of the manageress Shelia Gibson and the rest of her family working at the Swan.
A small example would be smiling, such an easy thing to do and one of the main things for good customer service, yet its one of the main things she DOESN'T do!
I can name a HANDFUL of people who have commented on her smile... or lack of!
How completly RUDE and IGNORANT she can be towards you, she brings no feelings of warmth or politeness to you, the customers who pay her wages and keep this hotel running. And how she is incrediably UNPROFESSIONAL at her job....
A business such as a hotel, can not be run by a family!
Constant arguments between the family and the divide between the family and the other members of staff, have led to the hotel losing custom.
So if you AGREE (which I know many of you do) and you would like to see the back of her, then please sign below to get something done, and make the customers and the staff's life alot more enjoyable.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Here's my situation:
I have an existing blog on WP 2.0.4, and I've been working on a new version of the blog on my desktop using XAMPP and WP 2.1.
I find 2.1 to be a little buggy, so I want to upgrade to 2.3.
I was wondering what's the best way to go about upgrading to 2.3 and then deploying.
I was thinking I would upgrade the live blog from 2.0 to 2.3, and then also upgrade the XAMPP blog from from 2.1 to 2.3. That way the databases should be the same, right? And then I can simply copy the theme over from my XAMPP blog to the live blog.
Will that work?
Thanks for any tips!

Before landing and taking off, I notice the lights inside commercial aircraft are greatly reduced. I don't buy the explanation of power saving in case full thrust is needed as nowaday lights don't need a lot of energy and the crew says we can use the smaller reading lamp to continue reading. I suppose this is something to do with security but I don't understand what.
This is for safety reasons.
Take-Off and Landing are the two most critical phases of flight and thus, every additional step to ensure survivability, be it even just adjusting the light, is taken.
The interior lights or cabin lights are adjusted to match the exterior environment, so that in case of an emergency, especially if the interior lights fail, your eyes are already accustomed to the light setting and you do not require additional valuable seconds for adjustment to a possibly darker or brighter environment. The lights are usually adjusted at dusk, night or dawn to match the exterior environment.1
If the cabing lights do not fail during an emergency, the dimmed light also makes it easier to identify the "EXIT" signs which illuminate and make the guidance lighting on the floor easier to follow. The bright emergency lighting is more prominent to identify when the cabin light is dimmed, saving valuable seconds as the aircraft is evacuated.
This also ties in with having to raise the blinds on the windows. The blinds need to be raised during take-off and landing irrespective of the outside light situation, however, with a darker cabin, any outside light source, especially from fires or other hazards is easier to identify by the crew, making the decision process of whether one side could be inappropriate to use for evacuation faster, e.g. fire on port side --> no evacation on that side.
The blinds are therefore raised to allow a better view for cabin crew of the outside area and external aircraft parts, such as engines, wings, etc. See also this related question: Why open up the window shades before takeoff and landing?
My flight instructor told me that also, when taxiing at night (that is, before taking off or after landing), lights should be kept at a minimum as a courtesy to other pilots. A bright line of full lit cabin windows could distract or mask other dimmer lights like the taxiways blue ones.
The "line" about needing full power for takeoffs and landings is true. I was taking courses for an Airframe & Powerplant certification for airplane mechanics. According to professors at what used to be the Northrop Rice School of Aviation Technology in Los Angeles, California, all power in an airliner is diverted to the engines for maximum thrust on takeoff. That means the lights are turned off or dimmed and even the air conditioning is turned off until after takeoff. As we all know, the airplanes are getting bigger and bigger. However, the length of the airport runways has not changed much at most of the airports. That means that the pilots of these jumbo jets have to get up to their airplane's noted speed for takeoff faster (before they run out of runway). So all "redundant" systems on an aircraft are shut down so that power can be used to get that airplane off the ground safely in the distance they have to get lift. Flying is all about the power to weight ratio on any aircraft. But the jumbo jets require a much higher speed to be able to take off.
You better start believing in the explanation of power saving.
I couldn't find the reference, but there was an accident over 5 years ago in which a plane was taking off with many non-essential loads at or near maximum: air conditioning, galleys heating food, cabin lights.
One generator failed, and the system supposed to shed non-essential loads also failed. The remaining generator wasn't designed to stand so much load, so it failed too. Loss of power to essential loads.
Since then, airliners take off almost simulating an electrical emergency. Reading lamps are a reasonable compromise because very few people actualy use them.

When we first arrived at the Eisenhower for a weekend of base ball, they told us that we were staying in the next building over - the Aspire. When we arrived to check in they told us that they didn't actually have a reservation for us (even though we made one online through their website), but that it wasn't a problem and that they would take care of everything. They did. We were in Room 510 which was large and clean and cold (in a good way...). Every time we passed the front desk during our four day stay, they said hello to us, asked how we were doing, and asked how we were making out in the tournament. I thought they couldn't be nicer UNTIL they allowed us to check out late so that we could come back and shower before our three hour ride home. I will stay there again. In fact, the Eisenhower/Aspire is the only place that I will stay from now on in Gettysburg. A great experience!

Hands And Feet Project, Inc.
Rating: 5 stars 1 1 review 1,425
Po Box 682105 Franklin TN 37068 USA
With little health care and social services in Haiti, many children are abandoned or orphaned. Hands and Feet Project is a children's village that is there to raise these children in a family environment. Our vision is to raise a generation of orphans raised by their own culture who will change their country so orphanages are empty and we are out of a job.

It seems COM objects are general use objects which are governed by the OS. The objects follow a strict interface and allow you to query the objects to determine information. Is this what COM objects are?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
COM is a mechanism that allows the re-use of objects (or rather components), independently of the languages used by the programmer who implemented the component and the programmer who uses it, and independently of whether the component was implemented in the client's program or elsewhere on the machine (or network).
Broadly speaking, each COM component provides an implementation of one or more interfaces. Those interfaces are defined in a language-neutral manner using the Interface Definition Language (IDL). As an example, one of the fundamental interfaces in COM, IUnknown, is defined like this:
This little interface is fundamental in COM, because each COM component must implement it. It defines two important aspects of the COM machinery:
All COM components are registered with the system upon installation. If a programmer wants to use a certain component, he needs to:
The COM machinery is extremely complex. For example, implementing or using COM components in C requires a horrendous amount of work, but higher-level languages like Visual Basic have done a lot to ease the implementation and use of COM components. The benefits are however very real. It makes it possible to write an application in, say, Visual Basic, but to still implement the performance-critical algorithms in C or C++ as COM objects, which can be used directly from the VB code. The system takes care of marshalling method-call arguments, passing them through threads, processes and network connections as needed so that the client code has the impression of using a normal object.
Many fundamental parts of Windows are based on COM. Windows Explorer (the file manager), for instance, is basically an empty shell. It defines a bunch of COM Interfaces for navigating and displaying tree hierarchies, and all the code that actually displays "My Computer", the drives, the folders and the files is as a set of COM components that implement those interfaces.
With the advent of .NET, COM is slowly becoming obsolete.
COM is a mechanism that was developed to allow people to distribute binaries that could be reused even if the caller was using another vendor's C++ compiler or (ultimately) a different language altogether.
If you want a good introduction to COM, read Essential COM by Don Box.
Think of it this way: when .NET came out I immediately thought "Wow... this is COM, but it doesn't suck."

Genre: All-Sex
This series takes objectification all the way, turning women into robots whose only purpose is to service men. It's a funny premise, some of the setups are amusing, and the girls seem to enjoy playing objects who only come to life at a man's touch.
Each scene opens with an extended intro of the girl dancing alone and, unfortunately, these are the liveliest parts of the show. The premise may be self-defeating, because the sex-every scene a d.p.-is oddly flat for the most part: by the numbers and slow, even though performed with utmost proficiency.
When even a Katja Kassin scene is slow going, you know something's amiss. Newcomer Heidi Besk is by far the liveliest doll, both as dancer and fucker.
Retailing: Diehard d.p. fans are the core market.
