About Me Casual Driver, Truck Enthusiast
Great bang for the buck. Greatly improved ride quality compared to the OEM shocks. These shocks absorb bumps much better, which substantially reduces the "bouncing".

Do you have a question about this product?
The 5100 Series offers traditional Bilstein technology with applications for lifted trucks, Jeeps and SUV's. Due to their larger tires and a heightened stance, lifted trucks place an extra demand on a shock absorbers damping ability. Bilstein's 5100 monotube design and patented digressive valving is uniquely suited to confront these demands. On or off-road, loaded or unloaded, Bilstein 5100 shocks instantly react to changing road inputs to maintain a stable, controlled, and comfortable ride.
Each 5100 Series shock has extremely durable and long lasting vulcanized neoprene rubber bushings with vehicle specific sleeves or cast crossbars. OEM certified mounting hardware allows for easy installation.
Bilstein is world famous for manufacturing some of the most durable, longest lasting shocks available. In fact, the 5100 Series shocks are comprised of components originally designed or off-road motorsports. Bilstein is so confident that these shocks will out last your vehicle that they back the product with a Limited Lifetime Aftermarket Warranty. If a Bilstein shock fails during normal wear and tear, you'll get a new shock absolutely free.
Bilstein shocks are sold individually. Pricing is for (1) shock. It is highly recommended that you replace shocks in pairs (both front shocks, or both rear shocks).
Proven design technology, a superior manufacturing process and a commitment to quality control characterize the Bilstein shock absorber production process. At Bilstein over 40% of the production personnel are involved with quality control to maintain their industry-leading level of shock absorber efficiency and long life performance.
In this pursuit of excellence, Bilstein has received worldwide acclaim for quality shock absorbers that have set new industry standards. Setting high standards has always been a top priority with Bilstein and a consistent set of parameters and performance guidelines go into the development of each Bilstein shock application.
Bilstein engineers meld proven methods with advanced technologies for products that pass the test of time.

What an excellent idea. !!!
However it only picks up the activated plugins when trying to download/export the sites profile. Is it supposed to work this way?
Are there any thoughts of supporting multisites? In that case it should only be visible to super admins. What do you think?
Thank you in advance. :)

Although anuran amphibians are diverse and conspicuous in many vertebrate communities, worldwide population declines have been observed. Climatic change is a global factor that has been implicated in some of these declines. In this paper, we speculate on how Neotropical anurans might respond to changes in climate predicted by Hulme and Viner (1998). We focus on two distinct groups of Neotropical anurans: frogs that live and oviposit in leaf litter and frogs that congregate at ponds to breed. Increased temperature, increased length of dry season, decreased soil moisture, and increased inter-annual rainfall variability will affect Neotropical frogs strongly. We expect that these changes will directly affect frogs by changing reproductive success and breeding periodicity, and indirectly by altering the invertebrate prey base. The individual effects will likely translate into changes at the population and community levels. We also speculate on how climatic change will affect Neotropical amphibians that are restricted ecologically and/or geographically. We suggest directions for future research that will increase our ability to predict how amphibians in the New World tropics will respond to climatic change.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Disgraced evangelical leader Ted
Haggard says in a new documentary that he still struggles with his
sexuality. But he's committed to his marriage for the sake of his
The 52-year-old Haggard resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and was fired as senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs in November 2006. A former male
prostitute had gone public with allegations that Haggard paid him
for sex and used methamphetamine.
A father of five, Haggard had said he bought the drugs but never used them. He confessed to undisclosed "sexual immorality" and has said, "I really did sin."
"The Trials of Ted Haggard" is set to air Jan. 29 on HBO.

Overall Experience:
Love It – I love my school. The teachers, students, and environment are friendly and welcoming. If I could do it all over again, I would choose my school hands down.
Academic Experience:
Health Assistant Rocks! I really enjoy my major, which is health assistant. My workload can be a little overwhelming at times but if I keep up with all my work, it is not that bad. I am very interested in my class.
Campus Resources:
Cool Incentive Program – My school has a incentive program that awards students who show up to class and work hard a lot. Halfway through the semester and the end, we get some sort of reward if we qualify. It can be a pizza party, a movie with popcorn, ice cream sundaes, etc.
Academic Flexibility:
I Love My School! I absolutely love Northern Tier Career Center! The curriculum is not the easiest, okay, it involves a lot of hard work. But on the upside, it is worth it all in the end. The classes are flexible and fit well with my own schedule.
Campus Resources:
There are plenty of computers available to all students in every classroom. Students are allowed to print on campus and the network is reliable and fast. Personal computers and printers are not needed.
Student Body:
The student body consists of many students from a variety of ethnicity and backgrounds. Acceptance to NTCC is fair and there are no challenges due in regards to diversity.
Academic Experience:
Academic Experience and Background – The professors work with students and correctly equip them with the knowledge and skills they need in the world. The curriculum is helpful and exciting and the class registration process is pretty simple. The workload is of manageable amounts.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition is well worth the education I am receiving at Northern Tier Career Center. The school does help out some financially but I am not exactly sure what other advice I can offer about financial aid.

Great group to work with! They make the process easy and fun!
The guys at Chelsea Motors were so great and easy to work with. They helped us to get the vehicle we wanted and with no hassle!
Joey Bruno, Jonathan McSwain, Nick Holloman, and Bobby Lee Strange rock! Go see them when you want good service at a great price!
I had the best experience with these guys. They made buying a car not only easy but fun and I felt like I gained new friends. Couldn't be happier.
Overall a great experience! I purchased a 2013 camaro which was in excellent condition. The service was great and the cookie and snow ball was an added bonus! :)
Joey did everything to get me a car so I would have a way to get my son back to and from children's hospital. These guys all at Chelsea motors are wonderful. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a good vechicle. God Bless you guys !
Hi Nick,
We wanted to thank you for the help we received yesterday. Both you and Micah were very kind and friendly. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks Again!
I have purchased 3 trucks from Nick and have been 100% satisfied every time. I'd never buy a vehicle anywhere else. I put my trust in Nick every time and he never disappoints
Let me preface this by saying that I have known Joey Bruno and his lovely wife for years...two of the most amazing people I know....love them both beyond words!
I recently had some circumstances that required some "reflection and determination"... I knew that Joey was back in the car business... I sent him a message and he went to work. An hour or so later, he called me...two hours later, I met Bobby Strange.
These two men have to be the last of a dying breed. Both of them, whether they knew it or not, made the same statement in different and separate conversations " I won't lie to you"...and I knew they were telling the truth.
I walked out with a beautiful car that I am ecstatic about and never once had the feeling I was being taken advantage of, like I have before when buying a car.
I am forever grateful to these two men. One who I've known for years, and one new friend who I wish the best for in his upcoming marriage.
If you want honesty, integrity and people who do what is right, please go see these men at Chelsea Motors on Hwy 280 in Chelsea!
Bobby went above and beyond to help me! Thanks to everyone you guys are great!

Agriculture and China's Accession to the World Trade Organization
Date: March 13, 2001
Creator: Hanrahan, Charles E
Description: The prospect of future growth in demand for agricultural products makes China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) an important issue for the U.S. agricultural sector. Most agricultural interest groups strongly support China's entry into the WTO, because they think it will increase U.S. agricultural exports and enhance farm income. In the 107th Congress, attention is focused on China's final WTO accession negotiations where differences over agriculture have become an issue.

China and "Falun Gong"
Date: August 3, 2001
Creator: Lum, Thomas
Description: The "Falun Gong" movement has led to the largest and most protracted public demonstrations in China since the democracy movement of 1989. On April 25, 1999, an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 adherents assembled in front of Zhongnanhai, the Chinese Communist Party leadership compound, and participated in a silent protest against state repression of their activities. On July 21, 1999, the People's Republic of China (PRC) government, fearful of the spread of social unrest, outlawed the movement and began to arrest Falun Gong protesters.

China and the World Trade Organization
Date: November 19, 2001
Creator: Morrison, Wayne M
Description: China has sought over the past several years to become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the international agency that administers multilateral trade rules. In September 2001, China completed its multilateral negotiations with the WTO Working Party handling its accession application and reached a trade agreement with Mexico, the last of the original 37 WTO members that requested a bilateral trade agreement with China. China's WTO membership (as well as that of Taiwan's) was formally approved at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar in November 2001.

Date: September 5, 2001
Creator: Kan, Shirley A
Description: This CRS Report discusses security concerns, significant congressional and administration action, and a comprehensive chronology pertaining to satellite exports to the PRC. The report discusses issues for U.S. foreign and security policy (including that on China and weapons nonproliferation), such as: What are the benefits and costs of satellite exports to China for U.S. economic and security interests?

China/Taiwan: Evolution of the "One China" Policy - Key Statements from Washington, Beijing, and Taipei
Date: March 12, 2001
Creator: Kan, Shirley A
Description: In Part I, this CRS report discusses the policy on "one China" since the United States began in 1971 to reach understandings with the People's Republic of China (PRC) government in Beijing. Part II documents the evolution of the "one China" principle as articulated in key statements by Washington, Beijing, and Taipei. The U.S. policy on "one China" has evolved to cover three issues: sovereignty, peaceful resolution, and cross-strait dialogue.

China-U.S. Relations
Date: January 17, 2001
Creator: Dumbaugh, Kerry
Description: This report discusses the background information and most recent development in U.S.-China relations since mid-1996. The relations also have been marred by continuing allegations of Chinese espionage, ongoing controversy over human rights, charges that China continues to violate its non-proliferation commitments, controversy over the accidental NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, and renewed tensions over Taiwan. The report describes current issues in U.S.-China relations such as; Human Rights Issues, Issues in U.S.-China Security Relations, Economic Issues, and Sovereignty Issues: Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong.

China-U.S. Trade Issues
Date: December 27, 2001
Creator: Morrison, Wayne M
Description: U.S.-China economic ties have expanded substantially over the past several years. China is now the third largest U.S. trading partner, its second largest source of imports, and its fourth largest export market. However, U.S.-China commercial ties have been strained by a number of issues, including a surging U.S. trade deficit with China, China's refusal to float its currency, and failure to fully comply with its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments, especially its failure to provide protection for U.S. intellectual property rights (IPR). This report explores these issues in detail, especially concerning the lack of protection for U.S. IPR.

China's Economic Conditions
Date: December 27, 2001
Creator: Morrison, Wayne M
Description: Currently, China's short-term economic outlook is unclear. Economic slowdowns in Asia and the United States in the beginning of 2001 have hurt China's export industries, and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States will likely further dampen foreign demand for Chinese products and could reduce the level of planned foreign investment in China. The Chinese government has used public spending in recent years to boost the economy, and it is likely that it will continue to maintain such policies until the global economy begins to recover.

Creator: Kan, Shirley A; Bolkcom, Christopher & O'Rourke, Ronald
Description: This report examines the major, foreign conventional weapon systems that China has acquired or has committed to acquire since 1990, with particular attention to implications for U.S. security concerns. It is not the assumption of this report that China's military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), will engage in conflict with other forces in Asia. Nonetheless, since the mid-1990s, there has been increasing concern about China's assertiveness in Asia and greater threats against Taiwan.

Every year, we focus on a problem and try to find a solution for it. We talk directly to general public and get to know the exact problem from their point of view, thereby effectively understanding it in a far better way. We call specialists in that field and conduct an open channel discussion panel to try and arrive at a solution that is most logical and appreciated by the mass. By doing this, we get a solution that can effectively deal with that problem. This year we chose the topic "SPORTS EDUCATION".
In regard with this we are organizing an inter school drama competition and more.

- Hi! I'm Martin Guidry and welcome to SQL Server Triggers, Stored Procedures, and Functions. I'll start by showing you how to create stored procedures using T-SQL or C sharp code. Then show you how to use SQL Server Management Studio to simplify database development. We'll see how to create triggers using SQL Server Management Studio and we'll take a look at the Common Language Runtime and how it enables us to create more powerful, faster performing stored procedures, and functions. We'll end with using Visual Studio to create a web application that utilizes the stored procedures created earlier in the course.
We'll be covering all these features plus best practices and techniques for avoiding common problems. Now let's get started with SQL Server Triggers, Stored Procedures, and Functions.

Brief Standoff Over Ukrainian Base In Crimea Ends Peacefully
A tense standoff Friday between pro-Russian troops and Ukrainian forces at a missile-defense base in Crimea is reportedly over without a shot being fired.
Russia's Interfax news agency reported that a Russian military truck had smashed through the gate of the Ukrainian base in Sevastopol, the port city that is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet.
Interfax, quoted by The Associated Press, says about 100 Ukrainian troops are stationed at the base and about 20 "attackers" entered, some throwing stun grenades, the report said.
The Ukrainians barricaded themselves inside one of their barracks, Interfax said.
The BBC says "the assailants and lorries reportedly left after negotiations."
Reuters reports:
"Crimea's pro-Russia premier, Sergei Aksyonov, was asked about the incident during a political chat show shown live on Ukrainian television and said all was calm at the military post."
"Referring to the [armed attackers] as 'self-defence units,' he indicated the standoff was over, adding: 'Now the self-defence units are surrounded by journalists. There are no attempts to attack.'"
"A Ukrainian military official told Reuters at the post that the armed group inside had not seized any [of the base's] weapons."
"Russian forces have taken over some military installations and other buildings on the peninsula, where Russia's Black Sea Fleet has a base, but both sides have held their fire."
According to the BBC:
"Troops wearing Russian uniform without insignia have blockaded bases since taking control of Crimea last week."
"Some military installations and other buildings in the peninsula have been taken over, but both sides have so far held their fire."

Darth Tepe chuckled quietly for a moment, digging within his cape for a moment before retrieving a holodisk which he placed into the holoprojector on the table. Pressing a button he smirked and the picture of a rather beautiful young woman came into view rotating slowly around.
"Her name is ... was Danielle Bayers" Tepe told the group before glancing over at Reibe in the other table across the room.
"She was a dedicated Jedi. A compassionate Jedi. A protective Jedi. On her way to becoming Reibe's follower as a Sith Hunter" he told them, waiting as if for the moment where Reibe came in to complaint of the matter. Nonetheless, Tepe continued soon thereafter, his eyes going from person to person within the group.
"Now she is a part of the greatest political interaction in the Galaxy. She requested me to provide more for herself, as the Jedi had abandoned her with the Sith Hunters. She got what she requested and now serves nobody. I rely on her to keep me in good relations with the Hutts, an important behind the scenes power in this Galaxy. " the Sith told them before his white eyes went to the hologram. He knew how they would react to his attempt to have them side with the Sith Dominion, yet he continued.
"If you join me, there will be no servitude. Only partnership. Then you can enhance your abilities and learn how to expand the variety of them as well" Tepe told them, trying to encourage them to join his efforts and to embrace his side of Galactic events and his access to power the like they had never seen before.

In that particular case, I could also check for whether RBAC was enabled, but that's really beside the point right now. My question was a general one: Assuming I can determine that a given user is authorized to manage the systemwide libvirtd, would you agree that that is the one they're most likely to want to access?

Heart Disease Health Center
Survey: Doctors Order Imaging Tests 'Defensively'
Defensive Imaging: A Closer Look continued...
And about 41% of CT scans, 56% of bone scans, and 43% of ultrasounds were ordered for defensive reasons. Under 10% of X-rays were ordered for defensive reasons.
Doctors who had experienced a lawsuit in the last five years were more apt to do defensive imaging, not surprisingly.
But so were those who had been in practice more than 15 years, Flynn found, which may reflect a growing wariness that they will be sued.
Specialists were more likely to order defensive tests. While 20.1% of imaging tests ordered by specialists were described as defensive, 16.4% of those ordered by general othopaedists were.
The study has limitations, Miller says. ''There were only about 2,000 patient encounters," he says. And only a minority of doctors completed the survey.
Mecial Testing: Cautious or Defensive?
David T. Schwartz, MD, is an attending physician at Bellevue Hospital and the Hospital for Joint Diseases and associate professor of emergency medicine at New York University School of Medicine. He has published on the topic of unnecessary testing and reviewed the study for WebMD.
"Nineteen percent is pretty high for unnecessary testing," he says. "Especially when you parse it and see that for MRI the percent is [nearly] 40%."
But, he says, there's often a fine line between defensive testing and what he calls cautious medical practice.
Private practice doctors might be especially under pressure to order tests, he says, if patients request it. "If you're in private practice [and don't order it], they'll go to someone else," he says.
"I suspect much of this overtesting is to meet patient expectations (and not just to avoid a malpractice suit)," he says.
The message for patients? Schwartz says patients should "listen to their doctors' advice on whether testing is indicated or not."
Flynn suggests having a good relationship with your doctor and, if an imaging test is about to be ordered, ask why it is needed.

I have a Google Calendar account that has multiple shared calendars and a main calendar. The shared calendars can be edited by other users to put events into each one of those calendars. I would then like to be able to use the main calendar's Google Cal ID to link others to the main calendar and have them see all the events from the other shared calendars overlayed. Is there any way I can do this?

National Security Brief: Turmoil In Egypt
— Thousands of protesters filled Cairo's Tahrir Square overnight as Egypt's rival presidential candidates accused each of trying to steal an election whose result is still not known five days after polling ended.
— Twenty people were killed when seven Taliban militants shot their way into a much-visited lakeside resort near Kabul and took scores of hostages during an 11-hour siege. A Taliban spokesman said they attacked the compound because Afghans drank alcohol there and that there was prostitution and dancing. Afghan security forces killed all seven attackers.
— House Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) said yesterday that Congress isn't "mature enough" to reach a deal to reverse the sequestration military spending cuts, and suggested Congress should "kick it down the road" to resolve uncertainty.
— Libya's fragile democracy is being undermined by volunteer militias who operate outside the control of state institutions. Human rights groups have documented a series of cases of militias going to people's houses, spiriting them away and, often, beating and torturing them.
— House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) cast doubt on reports that the Stuxnet and Flame viruses were the work of the U.S. and Israel. "Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper," he said. "I would be very, very cautious about assigning any nation-state originator to any of the [viruses]. … There was as much wrong in those [articles] as there ever was right."

Ah, dessert. As children, we remember coming home to the aroma of freshly baked cookies and the pleasure of taking those first gooey bites. Today, we enjoy our own children's company at the kitchen counter. For some parents, however, desserts (which are often loaded with butter, shortening, sugar, and cream) bring on the guilt instead of the nostalgia. To bring pleasure back to dessert time, we switch from butter and cream to healthy oils like canola and go easy on the added sugar (though we don't use sugar substitutes). We also weave in lots of health-enhancing ingredients including whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, omega-3 eggs, wheat germ, chopped nuts, fresh and dried fruit, and vegetables (shhh!). Our Apple Butterscotch Cake, Chocolaty Coconut Mini Tortes, and Carrot Camouflage Cupcakes prove that special treats can indeed be good for you.

Arts The Heart of Criticism
posted by October 18 at 11:22 AMon
The novel that most directly speaks to the critic, that defines, describes his/her function, mission, purpose, is Heart of Darkness. The narrative of Conrads short book is the narrative of any work of criticism. Marlows journey to the core of the colonial world has its doubleits secret sharerin the critics journey to the core of a work of art. That core is never apolitical. That core is always its truth. Upon reaching the point from which the work (a system of associations) radiates, glows, derives its power or aura, the critic must ask this: does it liberate or does it enslave? Its one or the other. At the core of the colonial world, Conrad found an oppressor, Kurtz; at the core of other works, the critic might find the opposite: a liberator, a Moses, a Christ, a Muhammad.

text: On Friday, we get another found-footage movie: Into the Storm. This time, it's a tornado-based disaster picture, a la Twister, but most of it is shot through the perspective of its characters' own professional and amateur video cameras. Found footage is clearly not a trend anymore. Eventually we're likely to see every genre and every storyline done in this style. And that's not… Continue reading Discuss: What Is the Best Found-Footage Movie?

By Bertram de Souza (Contact)
Published February 18, 2008
During his barn-burner of a speech Monday to more than 6,000 supporters on the campus of Youngstown State University, Barack Obama, thus far the leading contender for the Democratic nomination for president, dismissed critics who say he could not stand up to Republican John McCain in the general election with this: I may be skinny but I'm strong.
Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, talked about his political roots in Chicago, which, like Youngstown, has a reputaion for take-no-prisoners elections.
It was one of many poignant moments in Obama's appearance, which is why his decision not to debate his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in Youngstown is so puzzling. It suggests political cowardice, which certainly would not ingratiate him to long-tme Democrats in the Mahoning Valley who aren't impressed with stump speeches and television soundbites.
Obama, responding to a question following a tour of RMI Titanium in Niles before the YSU event, said he did not see a reason to debate Clinton in the Valley because they will be debating in Texas this week and in Cleveland on Feb, 26.
He explained that Clinton, a U.S. senator from New York state who is leading in the polls for the March 4 primary in Ohio, is better known in this area and that he needs to spend his time pressing the flesh.
But if the reaction from the crowd at YSU is any indication, Obama would benefit a lot more by showing that even in a region which gave Clinton's husband, Bill, huge margins of victory in his presidential bid and his re-election campaign, he has confidence of doing well.
It's unlikely he'll change his mind about the debate, but he missed a golden opportunity to establish his political credentials in this heavily Democratic area.
There are lots of miles to cover between now and March 4, and debates are strategic events that will be well televised. He can have it from anywhere and still reach Youngstown's voters. And I don't think it's a stretch to say that Cleveland is close enough. I agree it would have been nice to have a debate in Youngstown, too, but "political cowardice" is a bit much.
I'm thrilled the Youngstown area has stopped being politically invisible and it is starting to claim its rightful place as a political keystone. I hope we see more of the candidates before November!

The rooms were clean and well decorated. Coffee, microwave and fridge were in the room. Towels were clean and plenty of them were available. The pool was clean and the area around the pool was well maintained. I stayed there 5 nights and I would go back again. Great job

Family Traveling with Young Children
It was not worth the price in the king suite with the feel that everything was dirty and needed washed. The breakfast was not good, stale, and cheap. I stayed there because I had a dog whereas other places in the area did not accept pets however it was ten dollars extra. I was very disappointed.
September 4, 2013
If you need a clean place to shower and spend the night while traveling, this is a good spot. Rooms are dated but we had a very quiet and restful night. Sure beats the several xxxx-per-night weekend rates for rooms closer to Healdsburg or Napa. Very nice lady at the front desk!
June 2, 2013
There were bugs and spiders EVERYWHERE, the shower SUCKED (temperature kept changing and barely any water pressure), and I think there is a lady LIVING in one of the rooms and her dog tried to attack my dog. However, it did have a beautiful view of the lake and perfect walking distance to some parks and restaurants.

The latest OTN ArchBeat Podcast program is a three-part series recorded during a question and answer session at the OTN Architect Day event held at Oracle Headquarters in Redwood Shores California on July 9, 2013. Earlier in the day the audience attended three presentations given by Oracle Cloud Computing experts Dr. James Baty, Anbu Krishnaswamy, and Markus Michalewicz. After those presentations the Q & A session gave the audience a chance to pick the brains of those experts.
In order to provide some context to the Q&A, I suggest you take a moment to review the slide presentations from the event, listed below:
As you'll hear, the first couple of questions refer to Markus's presentation, which covered the DBaaS implementation at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. When Markus mentions "CBA," he's talking about Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

I dined at "Vila" solo on a Friday evening in January. Arrivwed about 5:00. Restaurant is difficult to find. Not great signage from the street. It is upstairs and around the corner from university blvd. Went there based upon proximity to where I was and reviews found here. Looked like they had plenty of indoor or outdoor seating depending on the weather. I was greeted upon entering the door and offered my choice of seating, place was 3/4 empty. Chose a seat where I could watch people, Tried to order a "singh ha", no luck they were out. Apparently they had a big private affair the night before and were out of many things(beer choices and food selections...didn't have all day to go out and replenish, I guess). I started with the Chicken Satay. I usually judge a Thai place by the quality of their peanut sauce. This place hit the nail right on the head with theirs. It had all the personality a person would want. bit o' kick, plenty of interesting spice, and of course a bit of texture. It wasn't your garden variety "jif with some coconut milk". The chicken portions were plump moint and cooked to perfection, with the obligatory slight grill marks. 10 out of 10 in my opinion. Soooo, I decided to stay and eat a meal. I ordered the Paht Thai with chicken. Ordered it at a 4* spiciness level. Ity arrived looking like no paht thai noodle dish I had eaten. I am not sure this dish had ever seen any fish sauce. It tasted different than any other noodle dish I had ever eaten. I wouldn't have eaten much of it, as it was. Peanut sauce to the rescue!! I ordered a side of Peanut sauce, for which, I wasn't charged. and gave the noodles a little pick me up. It was delightful with the blend of the original flovor of the noodles and the addition of the peanut sauce. Completely enjoyed it! I looked up half way through my meal to see that the place was PACKED and people were now waiting in line to sit and eat. GOOD SIGN... I heard a few mumblings about being out of some offerings, but my experience was quite good. Servers were very attentive, didn't matter to which server I belonged to, they all worked to make me feel welcome and well taken care of. I think that I would definitely give this place another opportunity to feed me. Music that was complained about in past reviews was not an issue, it was background level, and upbeat contemporary. Not a distraction, diversion, or overbearing. Beer was cold, food was hot and staff was friendly. Price was a bit higher than I am used to paying in Seattle, didn't mind.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Comics are art, never forget that. And while epic storytelling has been the staple of serialized comics for decades, it's the art that makes these comics … well, comics. And a long-time devotee of the more esoteric and outsider veins of comic art is now putting it under one roof with a new publishing house called Youth in Decline.
Described on its Twitter page as "a publisher of lovely and strange comics & zines," Youth in Decline is a new boutique publisher headed by Ryan Sands of the blog Same Hat, a proponent of comics zine culture and underground manga. Sands worked behind the scenes in comics for years, editing and translating manga for Last Gasp as well publishing zines like Electric Ant, the anthology Thickness and Prison For Bitches with Michael DeForge. The first publication coming from Sands' Youth in Decline is an ongoing anthology series titled Frontier, with each issue devoted to a single artist.
Digital comics | The Japanese web portal JManga today launched an unlimited-access site JManga7, although it won't be putting any actual content on it until October. Unlike JManga, which sells digital manga one volume at a time, JManga7 operates on an "all-you-can-eat" model, with single chapters of a variety of titles available for free, and a wider selection with a paid subscription. The site will be updated daily and will include a mix of genres, with some new content that is being published close to its Japanese release date as well as some older series. The idea is for readers to check out the manga at JManga7 and ultimately buy them for keeps at JManga. To encourage readers to pre-register, JManga is raffling off seven Nexus 7 tablets and seven free subscriptions. Plans for the site were unveiled last month at Comic-Con International in an exclusive interview with Comic Book Resources. [JManga]

We have a production setup where we have
Squid in the front(caching images, js, css, etc)
Apache httpd in the middle(prefork + mod_rewrite + mod_jk/AJP + mod_deflate + mod_php(few php pages))
Apache tomcat 5.5 at the end serving all the dynamic stuff.
What would be the best way to reduce the overhead of having 3 servers in the request path ?
Wondering if replacing httpd with a faster web server like nginx/lighttpd will help. httpd right now does the job of url rewriting(for clean urls) and talking to tomcat(via mod_jk) and compressing output(mod_deflate) and serving some low traffic php pages. What would be ideal replacement for httpd given that we need these features?
Is there a way to replace (squid + apache) with a single entity that does caching well (like squid) for static stuff, rewrites url, compresses response and forwards dynamic stuff directly to tomcat ? heard abt varnish cache, wondering if it can help.

Abstract Thinking
Abstract thinking is the ability to imagine other perspectives or alternatives. It includes the ability to explore several solutions to a problem, think about the future, imagine "what if," and understand that some things may symbolize or stand for other things (metaphors).
Abstract thinking usually begins in the early to middle teen years (about 12 to 14 years of age).

I am wondering if it is possible for you to create a new template that would allow us to show a blog excerpt summary. This would allow us to show maybe 10 blog excerpts in the page template. Currently, I can do this in the Responsive Theme and really liked this option. Why is this a good idea? Because without it, the only way for a visitor to find post is by seeing what's on the home page or looking at the recent post box. In our design, recent post is lower down the page (below the fold). This allows us to put another page on the navigation bar where visitors can easily find a list of post.
Thank You,

Research Institution:
AbstractPropagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) has combined its unique expertise in atmospheric physics and radar signal propagation to develop the Enhanced Tropospheric Effects Compensation (ETEC) System that will compensate for tropospheric bending errors when tracking long-range, low-elevation targets. The ETEC System will provide enhanced performance over existing techniques to permit greater detection range and longer time lines for these targets at low-elevation angles while enhancing target identification and discrimination. In Phase I, PRA will design the low-elevation ETEC GPS antenna array to extend the ETEC System operation to low-elevation targets. PRA will develop an antenna design and signal processing algorithms that mitigate multipath interference while maintaining a transportable antenna size and accurate angle-of-arrival measurements. To this end, PRA will implement an adaptive cancellation algorithm to mitigate multipath interference, and PRA will develop alignment and calibration algorithms that will permit the GPS array to accurately measure the bending angle of refracted GPS signals. In Phase II, PRA plans to fabricate the low-elevation ETEC antenna array and integrate the array with the ETEC hardware and software developed in contract W9113M-04-P-0042. PRA plans to test the fully integrated ETEC System at Vandenberg AFB using four C-band radars.

GORDON, AL - Bond has been set for the teenager accused in last week's shooting in Gordon.
17-year-old Brandon Smith is being held on $10 million bond. He's charged with attempted murder, first-degree robbery and burglary, and kidnapping.
Police say Smith broke into a home on Sumler Farm Road last Thursday. He was allegedly armed with a shotgun when he forced the homeowner inside and took items.
The homeowner was shot. His injuries were not life-threatening.
Smith was arrested on Friday not far from his home.

We use ad-blockers as well, you know. We gotta keep those servers running though. Did you know that we publish useful books and run friendly conferences — crafted for pros like yourself? E.g. upcoming SmashingConf Barcelona, dedicated to smart front-end techniques and design patterns.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Communication'.
GIFs of spinning @s on the "Contact us" page. Common usability mistakes for the sake of visual appeal. Splash pages. Fancy search box. No whitespace. Music on page load. Home page banner of a jigsaw-puzzle globe with a piece missing. Sometimes you just know that what a client is requesting is wrong and that you have to find a way to tell them. But how?
Before getting into how to explain to a client that they're wrong, ask yourself, "Is the client actually wrong to begin with?" Just because you don't approve of the direction they're taking or of a request they've made doesn't necessarily mean it is not a step in the right direction for the project. To be able to answer this question effectively, you need to train yourself to be completely objective and humble when dealing with client requests.Read more...
Whether you are getting a client to sign off on a website's design or persuade a user to complete a call to action, we all need to know how to be convincing. Like many in the Web design industry, I have a strange job. I am part salesperson, part consultant and part user experience designer. One day I could be pitching a new idea to a board of directors, the next I might be designing an e-commerce purchasing process. There is, however, a common theme: I spend most of my time persuading people.
As Web designers, we often have to nudge people in the direction we want them to go. It is a vital skill we all have to learn. We're not talking about manipulation. Underhanded techniques, and certainly lying, won't get you anywhere. But you can present yourself and your arguments in ways that make people more receptive. The first and probably most important way is to empathize.Read more...
If you have ever worked with a developer or a development team, this article will probably strike close to home. As designers, we work with dozens of developers across the globe each year. Some of us are fortunate enough to find a gem; a developer that just gets it. A developer that you feel is on your same wavelength in terms of what needs to be accomplished with the user interface, and what it needs to happen. Most often, however, we find developers that we generally don't see eye to eye with.
When many people are involved in a project, it is very important to make sure that they have a common understanding of the problem and its solution.
This is not meant as a slam on developers, as I believe they are a much different breed than designers; rather, the hope is that if you follow some of the principles outlined here, your development process can hopefully be streamlined a bit more than it was before.Read more...
Communication is one of the foundational elements of a good website. It is essential for a positive user experience and for a successful website that truly benefits its owners. All types of websites are affected by the need for good communication in one way or another. Regardless of whether the website in question is an e-commerce website, a blog, a portfolio website, an information website for a service company, a government website or any other type of website, there is a significant need to communicate effectively with visitors.
Because of the significance of communication with visitors, it is an essential consideration for every designer and website owner and the responsibility of both. Unfortunately, communication is sometimes overlooked and takes a backseat to the visual attractiveness of a website. Ideally, the design and other elements that do the communicating work together to create a clear, unified message to visitors.
In this article, we'll take a broad look at the subject of clear communication in Web design. We'll start with a discussion of the primary methods of communication for websites and typical challenges that designers face. From there, we'll move on to look at what specifically should be communicated to visitors and tips for implementing this in your own work. At the end, we'll look at some of the goals that should be established in terms of communication when developing websites, as well as some of the results of having a website that communicates effectively.Read more...
Let's face it. Some days, you want to just fire your clients. You go through one too many comps, iterations or edits and you've had enough. It has happened to everyone at least once and I'd be lying if I said it won't happen again; you get to the end of a project and realize that you would have made more per hour flipping burgers at McDonald's.
Thankfully, as with most common problems, there are a few simple guidelines that you can follow to help make sure that you're never working for below minimum wage.
Remember that the client will always know more about their product or service than you do. They are the expert at what they do; their problem is usually that they don't know how to explain it well. That is where you, as the designer, step in to help. You are a graphical communications ninja, but to effectively make your, and ultimately your client's, point you must fully understand what needs to be said.Read more...

Misdemeanors didn't warrant coverage
Published: Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 9:01 a.m.

Where's integrity, judgment or proof of professional journalism at the Times-News? One with intelligence understands you're innocent until legally proved guilty. To operate otherwise is taking advantage of people.
The unacceptable "hit" coverage printed March 8 was countered on March 12 in the letter, "Treatment should be equal for everyone," which pointed to the injustice perpetrated by the paper.
Is this short four-day span proof the Times-News saw a need to play both ends? An attempt to disguise its unfair intent against the physician. Normally it takes nine to 11 days to get a response in the paper. This is a record.
Rather than causing hardships on families, we should be lending our support and encouragement in order to help them reach their full potential. What comes through the grapevine is usually more twisted than the vine itself.
For the sake of equality can I expect a four-day response to this letter being printed?Harold W. Garren
