Mulher-Maravilha / Wonder Woman
A Mulher-Maravilha (em inglês Wonder Woman) é uma super-heroína de histórias em quadrinhos e desenhos animados da DC Comics. Ela é a princesa de Themyscira (às vezes chamada de Ilha Paraíso), filha da rainha das amazonas, Hipólita. Sua mãe a criou a partir de uma imagem de barro, à qual cinco deusas do Olimpo deram vida e presentearam com superpoderes. Já adulta, foi enviada para o "mundo dos homens" para espalhar uma missão de paz, bem como lutar contra o deus da guerra, Ares. Tornou-se integrante da Liga da Justiça, assim como Superman e Batman. Ela foi a primeira heroína a ser criada, em 1941, pela DC Comics. Estreou em All Star Comics #8 (Dez. 1941).
Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston, first appearing in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). Along with Superman and Batman, she is one of three characters to have been continuously published by DC Comics since the company's 1944 inception (except for a brief hiatus in 1986).[1]
Wonder Woman is an Amazon (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston (an american) as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men.'"[2] Her powers include superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses an animal-like cunning and a natural rapport with animals, which has in the past been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth (which forces those bound by it to tell the truth), a pair of indestructible bracelets, and an invisible airplane.
Created during World War II, the character was initially depicted fighting the Axis military forces, as well as an assortment of supervillains and supervillainesses. In later decades, the World War II setting was often maintained, while other writers updated the series to reflect an ongoing "present day." Wonder Woman has also regularly appeared in comic books featuring the superhero teams Justice Society (from 1941) and Justice League (from 1960). Arguably the most popular and iconic female superhero in comics, Wonder Woman is also considered a feminist icon[2] and is informally grouped with Superman and Batman as one of a "trinity" of DC characters, regarded as especially important. Diana is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superheroine. She was named the twentieth greatest comic book character by Empire magazine.[3]
In addition to the comics, the character has appeared in other media—most notably the 1975-1979 Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter, but also in cartoons such as the Super Friends and Justice League. Although a number of attempts have been made to adapt the character to live-action film, none have yet emerged from "development hell." An animated film was released in 2009, with Keri Russell doing voice acting on the title role.

for DECK by Sam Poser
Thank you, Reality. People can read a few details by googling "Poser Deckers."
I view Poser as the most sophisticated shoe analyst (of those I have read or heard). He was once a shoe buyer for a big department store chain, so he knows a lot of people and has his ear to the ground.
My guess is that he is hearing some very positive reports from his network.
I agree to some extent on this though. Poser let DECK down last year when he single handedly buried the stock. In September 2012 he had a PT of 32 for DECK. He started saying the "fad" was over because he spoke to retailers and that's what they saw. Well, one thing is for sure; Sam Poser is not a fashion guru and neither are his retailer friends. In my opinion, the reason why UGG is still in fashion is NOT because of the fashion, but because of the quality and the comfort of the shoes. Sam started to realize this and I give him credit for that; I however wish he'd actually not listened to retailer friends and really listened to the consumers of the product.

18 times a team with same or worse season record won the finals
I noticed, some should lose his job, no attention to such a huge detail. inexcusable!

that's why that's illegal in the NBA. if they don't T you for this, then you must get an elbow.
they locked vintage fisher out, but it was more a combination of being old plus what he did to the league with the lockout.

maybe he wants to play with lebron, wade and bosh,...

We have some old html files on the website that have copyright year on the bottom of the page (from include file). We are trying to find a way to update that dynamically to current year so the include file does not need to be edited every year. We are using asp and .net on the same server so there might be ways to use those technologies to accomplish this.
I am thinking of several ways this could be possibly accomplished but I am sure I am missing something. Maybe some sort of token replacement that could be done or something.
Here are few options that I am thinking about.
A process on the server that will check for year change once a day and rewrite the include files or would be triggered once a year by a scheduled task.
A web application that when accessed would check out the current year and write it to include files. It would need a permission to write to the disk. Then access it with something like wget with a scheduled task once a year or manually when it is time.
Embed the javascript as part of the non-asp include files that would update the year dynamically before pages finish loading. This is among the easiest ways to accomplish this, but probably not the best.
Finding a way to process files before they are embedded.
Enable asp processing on html files. This is undesireable due to server load it might cause.

Hi guys,
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to update the picture on my user profile. It used to be one of those generic shadow people images - but now it has changed to the picture of some male business man. Since I am a woman...this is disconcerting.
I have a picture I want to use but cannot find where the setting is I need to change.
Help please!

i agree. i'm don't enjoy the xdm's aesthetic qualities either, although some do.
what i can't understand is why they would shorten only the barrel on the xdm 3.8, when the more challenging part of a pistol to conceal is the handle.
the 3.8 strikes me as being a rather pointless design alteration.

The body was found by divers contracted by Black Elk Energy,
which owns the platform off the coast of Louisiana, on
Saturday evening while they were inspecting the structure,
said Coast Guard spokesman Carlos Vega.
Vega said he could not confirm whether the body was one of
two workers who went missing after the platform fire on
He referred additional questions to Black Elk officials, who
have not returned calls seeking comment.
The Coast Guard suspended its search for the missing workers
early Saturday evening after three helicopter crews, a Coast
Guard cutter and a plane spent the day scanning a 3625 square
km area around the platform.
The blaze was touched off on Friday when workers were welding
a pipe on a deck of the platform in shallow waters.
Twenty-two people were on board the rig when the fire broke
out and unleashed a black plume of smoke. Eleven workers were
evacuated and nine others were taken by helicopter to
The platform sits in 17m of water 27km south of Grand Isle,
Louisiana, and production had been shut down since
mid-August, Black Elk said.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, which
enforces offshore drilling regulations, is investigating.
The incident occurred a day after oil giant BP agreed to pay
a record $4.5 billion in penalties for the 2010 Gulf oil
spill that killed 11 workers and spewed 4.9 million barrels
of oil.

Many community connections. Since I'm from here, I don't know what it seems like to an outsider. If you're coming from Chicago, you're probably going to think it's surrounded by corn. If you're coming from a small town, you're probably going to think it's a diverse city. Either way, I would recommend going to either downtowns and exploring at some point.

Without a car, the easily accessible size becomes a lot smaller. Nevertheless, most fun and important facilities and social activities are always close by so it doesn't matter. Trying to get to a movie theater on the other hand, is a long bus ride without a car.

While Urbana-Champaign is bounded by prairie land, students often forget how close they are to farms and fields when they walk around campus. The U of I campus, nestled between the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign, is like a city unto itself. Every day, 30,000 students flock to the University's popular main road, Green Street, which runs along the Quad and comprises the busiest part of the campus-town. Urbana and Champaign, however, are each cities in their own right. Each has a small downtown with shops, bars, and clubs, and each has its own unique charm and culture. They have truly kept the small-town feel as much as possible.
The University offers a daunting number of on-campus events, not to mention non-stop parties, so many undergrads don't bother to explore Urbana-Champaign as much as they could. Among the most popular happenings are music shows, school sports games, and artsy events which are campus- or locally-sponsored. Some students do say that the campus bars and clubs grow old, and being so far from a big city can make them feel restless. However, there are always alternatives to the Green Street bars if you know where to look. Many musicians and artists call Champaign-Urbana their home, and with the University's thriving theater program, there is no shortage of performances. Buzz Magazine and the217.com, both publications of the student-run Illini Media Company, keep students posted on community and campus events.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Reflecting the latest practices in the field, Clinical Decision Making: Case Studies in Medical-Surgical Nursing, 2nd Edition bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and clinical application. Emphasizing holistic nursing care, the text helps you sharpen critical thinking skills while gaining hands-on experience applying what you have learned. The more than 40 medical-surgical case histories and related questions are based on real-life client situations. Every case contains an introductory "blueprint" of variables that must be considered while evaluating a particular scenario concerning the client, nursing protocol, and setting of care. Each blueprint and case is different, just as each clinical situation is unique. Simulating the actual decision-making process gives you valuable experience making informed clinical judgments that will help maximize your nursing success.

Accessible from Mt. Airy and Westwood, Mt. Airy Forest's 1,459 acres includes miles of hiking trails and bridle trails (located off Diehl Road) for horseback riders. Mt. Airy has Ohio's only wheelchair accessible public treehouse, an enclosed dog park and disc golf.
Mt. Airy Arboretum's specialty gardens, gazebos and picturesque lake are a favorite wedding site. The 30 acres features magnificent collection of trees, shrubs and flowers, displayed alongside the beauty of nature. Mt. Airy has two forest lodges and three picnic areas that can be reserved, as well as two council areas for organized youth group overnight camping. Or just come for a picnic at one of 23 picnic areas within the park, complete with tables, charcoal grills and swing sets.
The Arboretum serves students, gardeners and homeowners as a testing and observation area for plant growth, habit and hardiness of plants in the Cincinnati area. Initially conceived in 1930, many individuals and organizations have contributed to the development and preservation of Mt. Airy Forest and Arboretum. You will see some of their names honoured in special plantings, particularly in the garden areas.

Mt. Airy Forest (Mt. Airy, Westwood)
At almost 1,500 acres, Mt. Airy Forest is Cincinnati's largest park. It was established in 1911 out of several unproductive farms, and was the first municipal reforestation in America. A crew of young African Americans were employed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (a federal jobs program during the Great Depression) to build service roads, the large check dams in West Fork Creek and—along with more skilled laborers working for the Works Progress Administration—most of the shelter, service and restroom buildings. They also planted more than one million trees! Each recreational area typically included a shelter, comfort station, picnic tables and a water source, either a fountain or a pump. Some of Mt. Airy Forest's structures include:
- Arboretum: Built in 1953, this Carl Freund-designed building reflects his admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, with its low, cantilevered roof and asymmetrical entrance features. The entrance and surrounding garden were restored in recent years.
- Garden Totem: Located in the Arboretum parking lot, this abstract sculpture of stainless steel by Jim Quigley was inspired by Japanese kimonos and landscape forms. It was installed in 1994.
- Blue Spruce Open Shelter: This small building of ashlar stone and heavy timber framing, supported by peeled timber posts and heavy stone piers, is an excellent example of Rustic Parks architecture.
- Pine Ridge Lodge: This lodge is an ingenious adaptation of an 1869 farmhouse. Its renovation by CCC crews was completed in 1936 and according to a design by Freund. It's a two story building with fieldstone walls and a steeply gabled slate roof.
- Oval Open Shelter: Set in an oval near the center of Mt. Airy Forest, this open shelter has stone corner piers, natural cedar-log framing and a hipped roof with wood shingles. Its interior has a natural stone floor and is enclosed by a peeled cedar-log balustrade. CCC-built in 1931, it's one of Parks' best examples of Rustic architecture.
- Furnas Hill Open Shelter: Another good example of Rustic architecture is this open shelter featuring massive stone corner piers, peeled cedar-log framing, a gabled roof with wood shingles and exposed rafter ends.
- Oak Ridge Lodge: This recreational complex designed by Freund and built in 1948 consists of a main lodge, a circular seating area, a terrace and pyramidal-roofed open shelter.
- Maple Ridge Lodge: Frank Lloyd Wright's influence is again evident in this lodge built in 1956, with its use of rustic stone, overall geometric form and low overhanging roof. Its large interior assembly room features a massive fireplace, and the lodge itself is set upon the crest of a hill.
- McFarlan Open Shelter: Designed by H. Brunke and built by CCC crews, this stone and timber-frame shelter also features rough hewn oak posts and beams. Its interior has fireplaces and corner oak seats.

provide jobs
Published: Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 9:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 9:30 p.m.
The rapidly worsening recession has the federal government and states looking at road projects not only as transportation improvements but jobs programs.
That is a good thing. Roads are badly needed and jobs are needed even more desperately.
As elected leaders confront the worst economic climate in 25 years, the goal of getting people back to work is going to loom as ever more important.
When the state Legislature formed the 21st Century Transportation Committee a year ago, it did not know that the nation would be deep in a recession.
The committee has now come out with its recommendations. It urges the state to spend $1 billion a year for 10 years on highway projects. Potential funding sources, the committee said, would be transportation related taxes and fees and interstate highway tolls. The panel suggested a large bond issue.
North Carolinians historically have supported road bonds and borrowing at today's low interest rates is appealing. But voters won't be enthusiastic about borrowing if it means higher taxes for the debt service.
And speaking of higher taxes, this is not the time to impose the exotic vehicle miles tax, which would charge motorists by the mileage they drive. For one thing, we already have that tax. It's called the gas tax, and at almost 30 cents per gallon North Carolina's is already second highest in the South after Florida.
Secondly, a mileage tax would be borne disproportionately by middle class workers. Families that can't afford a decent house in Raleigh and Charlotte end up in bedroom communities 20 to 30 miles away. A mileage tax unfairly penalizes those working families.
No tax increase will get a welcome reception next year.
That leaves current revenue sources and the federal government's deficit spending.
Ordinarily, we've tried to be a deficit hawk but President-elect Obama is probably right to look to public works to create badly needed jobs and catch up on the highway improvement backlog across the nation.
North Carolina House Speaker Joe Hackney has urged Obama to go forward with a stimulus package that puts people to work.
"We are doing the best we can to cope with our fiscal situation," said Hackney, who is president of the National Conference of State Legislatures. "Now it's time for Congress and our next administration to support our state efforts."
The National Governors Association has identified $136 billion in specific transportation projects it says could be ready to begin if funding is approved by Congress.
A pork-free plan for highway improvements could bring the dual benefit of building infrastructure and boosting the sagging economy.

Thermo Fisher Scientific entered into a Technology Alliance Partner agreement with scientists at the University of Birmingham, U.K., to accelerate research in high-resolution accurate mass and triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for life science applications.
The alliance will focus on metabolomics and proteomics. Thermo Fisher Scientific will work with the laboratories of Professor Mark Viant and Dr. Warwick Dunn to develop and test new hardware and software approaches for metabolite detection and identification for environmental and clinical research. The company will also work with Dr. Helen Cooper's lab to exploit high-resolution mass spectrometry and gas-phase ion chemistry for top-down and bottom-up analysis of proteins.
The collaboration includes engaging in research, sharing samples and data that could lead to development of better techniques, exchanging ideas for improving instrument and software performance, ongoing conversations about current technology issues, promoting the training of graduate students, and publishing new methodology and scientific advances.
The partnership builds upon the University of Birmingham's Systems Science for Health initiative, which focuses on introducing a variety of life science technologies into clinical research. It follows almost a decade of collaboration between the two organizations.

Not really sure what could be wrong (it's not 'Friends who like this' or anything), it's all installed ok (the cross posts to that page aren't working I don't think, which could be significant).
Anyone ever seen or heard of this happening?

kmn: I cannot support Hillary Clinton after the DNC rigging the system for Hillary. How far did they go? What do we not know? Was the electronic voting system rigged in her favor? This is an outrage we the people are fighting mad. This proves our vote doesn't count after all, and the elite in power get what they want. The people deserve a redo to the primaries on paper ballots Even if we have to stay home and not vote to insure a trump win and we do have a nuclear war, it will be remembered in history, of the consequences for manipulating the electoral process against the people's wishes. Sometimes people only change on the precipice. Sometime you have to tear down to rebuild a new.

How can I manage a domain with the "Active Directory Users and Computers" from a computer that is not on that domain? I realize I'll need some domain admin (or less) credentials, but that's fine.
I have 2 scenarios where I'd like to do this:
- From a machine on Domain 1 but I'd also like to manage Domain 2 (the 2 domains are in no way related)
- From a laptop that is not a member of any domain.
If we can figure out #2, that will be "good enough" but #1 would be nice too.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:06.
Courses taught by Jane Hutton
01111: Landscape Architecture I: First Semester Core Studio (STU 0111100)
Landscape Architecture
Core Studio - 8 credits
Monday Wednesday Friday 2:00 - 6:00
Gary Hilderbrand, Peter Beard, Silvia Benedito, Zaneta Hong, Jane Hutton
Course Description
This studio course introduces students to elements of landscape architectural design at the scale of the public garden in an urban context. As the first of a four-term sequence of design studios, the course aims to help students develop spatial literacy, critical design thinking, and skills in the representation of landscape architecture. The studio introduces and explores various issues of perennial concern to landscape design through a typological reading of and intervention in canonical projects from the history of the urban public landscape. Topics include the examination of promenade and path, permeability and pavement, ground cover and texture, spatial enclosure and bound, threshold and limit, topographic complexity and sectional variation, horizontal envelopment and canopy, prospect and refuge, among others. Using a range of two- and three-dimensional media, both analog and digital, members of the studio will work with orthographic, axonometric, and perspective projection drawings as well as physical models. Throughout the semester, students are exposed to and expected to develop an iterative working method that: translates conceptual thought into models of spatial form through varying modes of representation, is rooted in processes of conceptualization and elaboration parallel to those of contemporary landscape architectural design, responds effectively to criticism, and engages within a culture of productive peer review. The studio examines the imponderable gaps between site, representation, and built work, in the context of landscape design. Emphasis is placed on the status and role of representation and the studio as a performative venue for the production of landscape design. Studio meets for twelve hours a week. The class will be divided into three sections and will gather for project presentations, workshops, and reviews.
02141: Landscape Representation I (VIS 0214100)
Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday Tuesday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund 517
Jane Hutton, Zaneta Hong
Course Description
This course introduces students to the history, techniques, and conventions of representation used in the field of landscape architecture. Rather than a static description of a set design agenda, landscape representation is an active means for understanding and building complexity in design work. The primary objective of the course is the cultivation of a drawing practice that facilitates critical thinking, the testing of design ideas, and effective communication. The course begins with a five-day, pre-semester workshop that introduces students to orthographic projection through a reading of precedent drawings. Students work with a range of two- and three-dimensional drawing and representation types, including orthographic (plan, section, elevation), axonometric, and perspective projections, sketching, and model making. Emphasis is placed on concurrent and iterative development of analog and digital representation techniques; analog media include graphite, ink, and mixed media, and digital software include AutoCAD and the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign). Classes consist of lectures, assignment tutorials, and pin-ups. Topics and assignments for GSD2141 are closely integrated with GSD111: Landscape Architecture I Design Studio and are designed to provide strategies and tools for approaching studio work. Evaluation will be based on class participation and a series of weekly exercises; grades will reflect growth made throughout the semester. There are no pre-requisites.

In the next seven to 10 days, the board of governors will vote by fax to approve BlackBerry king Jim Balsillie's purchase of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After that, things will get interesting for the team.
On Dec. 20, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (a seven-person regulatory committee) is expected to announce the winner of the much-coveted slots license. If you've been following this drawn-out process, which has taken more than a year, you know the Pens have a significant stake in this decision.
Simply, if the Isle of Capri casino chain is awarded the license, the Penguins, per their agreement with the gaming giant, will receive their long-desired new arena and stay in Steel City. The license has such financial potential that the Isle of Capri agreed to cut a $290 million check for the new arena within 90 days of a winning bid. Evidently, there's a lot of money to be made in gambling. Who knew?
If, however, the Isle of Capri doesn't get the license, the Penguins will be able to test the open market when their Mellon Arena lease expires in June. The team could choose to leave Pittsburgh for Kansas City or Hamilton, Ontario, or who knows where.
Listening to several different sources in Pittsburgh, though, I get the sense the Penguins will remain in Pittsburgh.
Contrary to current public perception, however, those same sources agree it probably won't be because of the Pens' deal with the Isle of Capri. No one with knowledge of the situation rates the Isle of Capri as the favorite to get the nod; they believe the Forest City Enterprises/Harrah's Entertainment bid stands the best chance of winning the license.
Why? Why else: Money.
According to several political insiders, Forrest City and Harrah's (like other bidders in this process) have been big-money donors to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, as well as other state and local elected officials. Those kinds of donors expect something for their financial support, and they usually get it.
Rendell hasn't publicly endorsed any of the three bidding groups. On March 30, however, he was quick to come up with a "Plan B" proposal to fund a new arena in Pittsburgh in the shocking event the Isle of Capri bid falls through. Rendell's plan called for the Penguins to contribute an up-front payment of $8 million toward the arena project, as well as an additional $4 million per year for 30 years.
Now, if you were the Pens, which deal would you prefer: the deal under which you pay nothing, or the deal that you pay $128 million over 30 years? Yeah, I thought so.
As part of their deal with the Isle of Capri, the Pens haven't been able to comment on or consider any other bids. When someone offers to build your arena, you say thank you and keep your mouth shut and your fingers crossed. But if the license doesn't end up on the Isle, the Pens will be open to consider other possibilities.
At that point, the club, led by Balsillie, will be well positioned to negotiate a better "Plan B" deal. That's where those in the know see this going, and they believe state and local officials will be willing to work out more reasonable "Plan B" numbers.
After all, they (the politicians) do want to build an arena to replace outdated Mellon Arena. The Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County already has purchased the land on which a new arena could be built. The Penguins' current position as a young, up-and-coming team with a pair of franchise players doesn't hurt their bargaining situation, either. With all that being the case, local officials won't want to see their anchor tenant skate away to another city.
So, Penguins fans, I guess what I'm telling you is this: If the Isle of Capri gets the license, pop open the champagne and take a swig. If not, keep the bubbly chilled and don't let weeks of unavoidable gamesmanship and rhetoric get you down. In the end, I think your team is staying right where it is.
No suffering Sharks
The Sharks might have found a fourth gem from their impressive 2003 draft class. Rookie Joe Pavelski, who was called up from the club's AHL affiliate in Worcester, Mass., on Nov. 22 when Jonathan Cheechoo was placed on IR, has gotten off to fast start, scoring four goals in his first six NHL games.
Pavelski's biggest goal came Saturday night in Detroit. He scored with just 5.9 seconds left in regulation to propel the Sharks to a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Red Wings.
Despite Cheechoo's return to the lineup, Pavelski remains with the big club. The 5-foot-11 righty pivot has been used in several line combinations by coach Ron Wilson. He even has moved to the wing to work on lines with the club's top two centers, Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau.
Top-six forwards Milan Michalek and Steve Bernier were both selected in the first round of the 2003 draft. Defenseman Matt Carle was chosen in the second round. Pavelski, 22, was grabbed in the seventh round (205th overall).
A lot of the credit for the Sharks' shrewd drafting decisions should go to their director of scouting, Tim Burke. The New England native is thought to be one of the best in the business. The proof can be found on the Sharks' bench.
Bad timing
I have to wonder why the Blues and Lightning chose the same exact night to honor legends Brett Hull and Dave Andreychuk in their respective buildings. The league should try to monitor those things -- they are nice moments that shouldn't overshadow each other. In this case, I guess it was just an odd coincidence.
It was odd in another sense, too. Usually, when you honor a player, you'd like to have a good chance to win the subsequent game. It's kind of like a homecoming game in high school or college. You like to play against an opponent you can beat.
The Blues or Bolts didn't opt for such pushovers.
The sad-sack Blues chose a night when the powerful Red Wings were in town. The Lightning, meanwhile, were hosting the Eastern Conference-leading Sabres. Neither team fared well. The Blues were drubbed, 5-1, and the Lightning suffered a 4-1 defeat.
Next time, don't invite those top teams. They end up spoiling a good party.

This is an informative as well as an inspiring article. Reading this article help we inspire about selecting a proper career.Cristian Movila, who is famous photographer, through this article helped me know about the various photographic skills too. This article also helped me to take pictures in various conditions.carsoholics
The Photography Of Cristian Movila: Committed To A Cause
In the summer of 2003, he began working for Romania's news agency, Mediafax. After two years with the agency, he struck out on his own as a freelancer documenting a wide variety of armed conflicts, famine, and socio-political issues in the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe, Israel, Palestine, the former Soviet Union, and the United States. Movila's images have appeared in numerous publications, including National Geographic, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, Cotidianul, Jurnalul National, Stern, and Paris Match.
"Every project, every story is interesting," states Movila, who says he chose to be a documentary photographer because he likes interacting with people. "I also want to find stories that can answer all my questions. People, unfortunately, know me for sad stories," Movila concludes, "but I also shoot other things, even fashion, which I love, but in a documentary way." As for the future, Movila says he's committed to exploring the world through his lens, which he expects to take at least this lifetime.
In the summer of 2005, he was visiting a friend at the Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest and accidentally wound up on the wrong floor. "I went to the fifth floor, where the oncology section is located," explains Movila, who began to cry after seeing some of the children under treatment there. Conditions in the hospital are poor; there are not enough beds or nurses, and food, medicine, and medical supplies are short. Under these current conditions, the patients' chances of survival are reduced by half. Typically, about 20 children are being treated at any given time in an old section of the hospital.
While Movila walked through the wing, he notes, no one seemed to notice him and no one questioned him. "It was like I was invisible," states Movila, who was devastated by the scene. After about 30 minutes, he left. "The days that followed were very difficult for me and I thanked God I was healthy. I decided I wanted to use photography to help the children at the hospital so they could be cured and do the things they dreamed of doing in life."
First, Movila had to get permission to take photos at the hospital. He says he did this by establishing a relationship with the staff, which he found to be fairly easy but time consuming. He worked on the project for about two years, and in 2008 organized a campaign and several exhibitions of his photos to raise money for early cancer treatment. So far, about 3.2 million euros have been raised, notes Movila, who plans to continue photographing the children in the future.
"I never finish a story," he admits. "I just stop working on it for a while, and when I have the chance and time I start working on it again. I always believe when I look at my stories that I can do much more, which is why I go back." Movila is currently working on a book featuring the "Unfinished Dreams" images.
About the photos shown on these pages, Movila says, "The wing is a long, bare hallway flooded by a white neon light. The rooms on the left and right side of the ward were each occupied by three or four children. Most of them didn't have hair on their heads because of the radiation/chemo treatments. Some of the children were crying and some were playing, while others lay in bed because they were unable to move. About half of the kids," Movila recalls, "were there with their parents, either mother or father or grandmother, who slept next to them on a salon chair. The others were alone."

I am assuming you use the Express version of Visual Studio to compile your project. The problem is that the Express version doesn't include MFC, which is needed to compile these resources. So besides the fact that there might be bugs in the code it's actually the compiler that can't work with this include file.
One thing that might work is to replace the occurences of afxres.h with windows.h, but it probably wouldn't make a difference. Or you could try to clean the project before building it (right click on the project and then clean).
If that doesn't work there might be someone else here capable of telling you what to do to make this work. Else a quick google could probably give you a solution.

I need to send (duplicate) traffic from one machine (port) and to two different machines (ports). I need to take care of TCP session as well.
In the beginnig I used em-proxy (http://docs.engineyard.com/em-proxy.html), but it seems to me that the overhead is quite large (it goes over 50% of cpu). Then I installed haproxy (http://haproxy.1wt.eu/) and I managed to redirect traffic (not to duplicate). The overhead is reasonable (less than 5%).
The problem is that I could not say in haproxy config file the following:
- listen on specific address:port and whatever you find send on the two different machines:ports and discard the answers from one of them.
Em-proxy code for this is quite simple, but it seems to me that EventMachine generates a lot of overhead.
Before I dig in haproxy code and try to change (duplicate traffic) I would like to know is there something similar out there?

Christian Democrats blame gays for pay inequality
- From: news.com.au
- August 07, 2013
- Christian Democratic Party posts homophobic ad campaign
- "Mum and dad taxpayers are the most oppressed Australians"
- See all the posts via Christian Democratic Party Facebook
- What do you think of the ads? Tweet @the_mattyoung
THE Christian Democratic Party (CDP) have come under fire for posting a homophobic anti-equality ad campaign for the upcoming federal election.
The ads, which started appearing on the Official Christian Democratic Party Facebook page in June, have raised a few well-manicured eyebrows after a post calling for "income equality" was uploaded on July 26.
"Same-sex couples earn 29 per cent more money than female-male couples," it reads.
"Mum and dad taxpayers are the most oppressed Australians in our economy.
"Christian Democrats will change that".
But instead of inspiring the far right against homosexuality, the Australian public is now questioning the logic of a party which former member Gordon Moyes described as a "cult, a hypocritical, anti-Christian, anti-democratic dictatorship that adhered to the values of extremist fundamentalism".
@the_mattyoung Seems dubious. But I disagree with enforced income equality in any case. You choose your job / employer & therefore pay— Sam Anderson (@_sam_anderson_) August 6, 2013
@the_mattyoung If @frednile wants income equality, when's he taking a pay cut?— Drew Bowie (@Drew_Bowie) August 6, 2013
.@the_mattyoung @newscomauHQ @frednile If more same-sex couples had the opportunity to raise families a 29% pay-cut would follow.— Guy Wallace (@tweetsbyguy) August 6, 2013
@the_mattyoung @frednile I guess having children may have something to do with it but I dont feel oppressed at all— lisa hoare (@lisahoare1) August 6, 2013
Sam McLean, National Director for advocacy organisation GetUp! (famous for their marriage equality clip, It's time), told news.com.au: "The hateful campaign by the Christian Democrats is offensive and totally bizarre. Why are these people obsessed with the vilification and perpetuating discrimination?
"They are vilifying gay and lesbian Australians for being productive members of our society.
What exactly are they proposing? A gay tax? It's utterly bizarre."
The source of CDP's stats has not been confirmed. However according to latest research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics "consistent with their higher levels of education, and greater likelihood of being employed in highly skilled occupations, people in same-sex couple relationships were more likely than those in opposite-sex couple relationships to have higher personal incomes".
In 2011, 18 per cent of men in same-sex couples earned $2,000 or more a week, compared with 14 per cent of men in opposite-sex couples, writes the ABS.
For women, the difference was even greater. Women in same-sex couples were nearly three times as likely to be earning $2,000 or more a week as women in opposite-sex couples (11 per cent compared with 4 per cent).
But the reasons are clearer than simply sexual orientation pay inequality.
Homosexual couples were more likely to have higher incomes due to "high labour force participation rates and employment to population ratios".
"In 2011, 89 per cent of people in same-sex couples were participating in the labour force (either employed or unemployed), compared with 69 per cent of opposite-sex couples."
"In line with their higher levels of education, people in same-sex couples were more likely than those in opposite-sex couples to work in highly skilled occupations such as managers or professionals. Over half of the people in same-sex couples that were employed worked as managers or professionals (53 per cent), compared with 40 per cent of people in opposite-sex couples."
Numerous requests for comment from the Christian Democrat Party were received but not answered by time of publication. A spokesman told news.com.au, "you'll get a reply in due course."
The Party, under the leadership of Reverend Fred Nile has been staunchly anti-gay since its inception in 1977.
• According to the 2011 Census, there were around 33,700 same-sex couples in Australia, with 17,600 male same-sex couples and 16,100 female same-sex couples.
• The number of same-sex couples in Australia counted in the Census has risen significantly in recent years, with a 32 per cent increase in the five years since 2006. In the 15 years between 1996 and 2011, the number of same-sex couples more than tripled. The increasing number of people identified as being in a same-sex relationship may reflect growing social acceptance. There may also be increased awareness that data about same-sex couples is made available from the Census, giving more reason for same-sex couples to be open about the nature of their relationship and willing to supply this information.
• The 2011 Census counted 6,300 children living in same-sex couple families, up from 3,400 in 2001. Children in same-sex couple families make up only one in a thousand of all children in couple families (0.1 per cent). The vast majority of these children (89 per cent) were in female same-sex couple families.
• People in same-sex couples tend to be more highly educated than people in opposite-sex couples. In 2011, 42 per cent of people in same-sex couples had a Bachelor degree or higher qualification, compared with 23 per cent of people in opposite-sex couples. In every five year age group, people in same-sex couples were more likely than those in opposite-sex couples to report having a Bachelor degree or above.
• In 2011, 2.3 per cent of people in same-sex couples had a Doctoral degree, compared with 0.9 per cent of people in opposite-sex couples.

Mr Nile and his ilk may have had more causality towards "income inequality" than he thinks. Studies out of Columbia University show that young gay men who are in oppressive environments compensate by over-achieving in other areas (typically academically). So keep on stigmatising the gays CDP, you're helping to foster these students who will end up in more specialised, better paid roles.

Somewhere someone forgot I have a right for my point of view in this democratic country, you may not like it so what I am a member of this democratic society and I will express my views. You have expressed yours in a most offensive way each year on the streets of Sydney. Have I stopped you. No! Your offensive parade is funded by the taxes of the whole community and you do not respect the majority of that community to express a view. Homosexuality is not natural and that is it. As to some animals engaging in what seems to be homosexual behaviour; Lets us examine the truth. If there were a number of rams in a confined space with no ewes it is probable given enough time a sexually aroused ram will engage with another ram, however if one ewe was put into that space they would all either line up to engage the ewe or fight each other so that they may engage the ewe. This proves only that a ram may if aroused they will seek 'fulfilment' in any practical way they can. This does not make them to be homosexual at all, it means that self control is not in control. It seems to me that many of our problems come from the lack of self control, perhaps it may be wise to consider this.

I am amused: If I comment and I say anything that the homosexual/lesbian lobby do not like I am homophobic and yet I live in a democracy. If I claim that according to my beliefs that Homosexuality is not approved by God, I am a bigot. If the homosexual/lesbian lobby defame my beliefs that is ok. If the homosexual/lesbian lobby behave in an offensive sexual way in my cab that is ok.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A Mobile County grand jury has indicted three teenagers on murder charges in the driveby shooting death of a 15-year-old boy.
The three are 17-year-old Montraell Lockett, 16-year-old Tahree
Alex Mims and 16-year-old Jakaria Jacobe Fox.
The indictments stem from the fatal shooting of 15-year-old
Markel Anderson outside a community center in Mobile's Touminville
area on April 17.
Prosecutors linked the gunfire to an ongoing dispute involving
two groups of teens, and said Anderson was an unintended victim.

Otago Museum management is strengthening its focus on
collections and aims to double the percentage of overall
staff devoted to collection-related duties.
Museum director Dr Ian Griffin said recently that over the
next few months the museum would be ''investing significantly
in our collections team''.
Several new positions would be created, including a director
of collections and research, a manager of conservation and a
Curator Maori, he said in a recent report.
After extensive consultation with staff and museum colleagues
throughout New Zealand, the museum would be reintroducing the
job titles of ''curator'' and ''collection manager'' at the
This would bring the museum back into line with all other New
Zealand museums, he said.
For the past few years, only 11% of the Otago Museum's staff
had held collections-related roles.
He planned to ''double this percentage over the next two
financial years'', bringing the museum ''into line with the
norm in other museums''.
''I sincerely believe that the museum has underinvested in
its collection for decades, and I see it as critical that we
address this issue as a matter of urgency,'' he said.
Museum officials indicated that the number of staff involved
in collection-related duties would rise from six to 11, but
any costs this year would be met from the existing budget.
Dr Griffin said the museum management team was also working
on an extensive change programme aimed at reviewing and
improving systems and processes which had been inherited,
some of which were paper-based and ''extraordinarily
He believed significant operational efficiencies would be
achieved, ''freeing up an enormous amount of staff time''.
Museum marketing and development manager Caroline Cook said
one of three new collection-related posts had already been
A collection conservator would also be appointed, and overall
staff changes would be made as resources permitted.
Strengthening collection-related staffing would bring many
benefits, including helping deal with queries arising from a
growing number of overseas researchers wishing to access the
museum artefacts.
Increasing resources in this field was ''critical'' to the
museum's overall goals, including better conserving,
protecting and managing its collections, she said.

I have a project consisting of four programs for different platforms; all of them use the same XML-based settings file format. I want to be able to manually modify/overwrite it outside of the application. On Windows, Windows Mobile and Linux I'm using "user.home", but on Android that alias isn't implemented. I'm thinking about simply putting it in the Downloads directory, however, that doesn't feel right.
I can't be the only one, who needs that kind of functionality. Or this isn't Android-way? Any suggestions are appreciated.
EDIT: I'm OK with the settings file not being available all the time (i.e. SD-card removed), it's used only on the start-up of the application.

how to set the plugin to work everywhere else , except one page?
how to set the plugin to work everywhere else , except one page?
I am working on a change to the plugin. So that you can put a short code on the page to disable the plugin.
If you put on the page:
<script>function kpg_oinw_action(event) {return false;}</script>
it should cause a javascript error that will kill the function, I think.
when i click on the link, it still opens in a new window....
i would like for that specific link when clicked, it would not open in a new window.....
For a specific link, the code would be
<a target="_self" href=....
The target="_self" will cause the link to open in the same window. If the plugin sees something already in target it does not open it in a new window.
just add target="_self" to the A tag.
oh. well how my links are, they are in a category. i don't manually create links.
for example clicking on menu option on my website directs me to that specific page.
another example is going to google.com and clicking on the menu option "Images" . would like for it to open in same window, and i do not write the backend of the code for that specific link, wordpress does that for me.
unless i have to edit the wordpress css to get to that A tag?
isn't their a code i could type into the custom css of my theme?
this is a site = http://trottyzone.com
so when i click on "Forum" i would like for it not to open in new window.
Every other link shows http://www.trottyzone.com. The forum shows just trottyzone.com.
Change the forum link and add the www. and you should be home free.
thanks that worked! :)
and your plugin is awesome :D

turning off social publisher doesnt seem to stop articles being posted to facebook? Anyone else having this problem?
turning off social publisher doesnt seem to stop articles being posted to facebook? Anyone else having this problem?
Same for me.
Besides it generates an error on publishing a post:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/.../wp-content/plugins/facebook/fb-social-publisher.php on line 255
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/.../wp-content/plugins/facebook/fb-social-publisher.php:255) in /var/www/.../wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881
i don`t need the social publisher, so i wiped the content from "fb-social-publisher.php" and its all set to go. no errors ;)
fourgood - what code did you exactly delete? receiving the same errors.
actually ive deleted the whole code inside "fb-social-publisher.php" since i don`t need it. Not very elegant, but it leaves all the other functions intact.
Yea I deleted codes between 255-285 and 297-235..works fine but agree, not very elegant. Thanks.
We fixed a bunch of social publisher bugs. Can you try 1.0.1 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/changelog/) and let me know if you're still seeing issues? Thanks
Okay, it`s working fine now.
Only a small issue, in my post panel at the fb meta boxes is the text: "Facebook social publishing is enabled."
But it is not turned on in the options.
Thanks Matt!

Is it really worth insuring my home contents?
If you cannot afford to repair or replace something when it is stolen or damaged, and you prefer not to live without replaceable items, it's worth having home contents insurance. Benefits received as the result of a successful claim will help stem loss.
Make sure your cover remains current - mine lapsed and wasn't noticed until moving apartments earlier this year. Stern self-rebuke was followed by not particularly swift action, but I eventually arranged new cover.
While on the surface the policy looked good relative to my possessions and lifestyle, and the premium was reasonable, a recent burglary and the loss of much-loved and long-collected watches and jewellery exposed my cover.
Here's the low-down on home contents insurance.
Local policies typically cover damage or loss to items from fire, typhoon, gas explosion, flood, theft and accident. There are dollar limits per item. Cash, jewellery, collectibles, electronic equipment and furniture have varying item caps. Matching these against your possessions is straightforward. If the caps don't match your valuables, consider specific item cover. There are also dollar caps per event. Predicting total loss from a single event is difficult. Actuaries use floor area as a guide to total home contents and base the event cap on that. A room-by-room inventory of all possessions and their value will indicate whether your tastes match the average. You may need to review and upgrade your cover as new acquisitions are made.
Most policies also provide worldwide cover for loss or damage to personal effects when travelling and include worldwide personal legal liability cover. Policies vary as to other inclusions such as providing temporary accommodation and storage, repairing damage from forced entry, and replacing locks. Policy exclusions also vary. You may find yourself having to wait to get cover for new acquisitions and there is usually no coverage at all if your home is unoccupied for more than 30 days.
Premiums are based on floor area, levels of cover, range of inclusions and the history of claims. The quality of a policy and its cost vary widely. Discounts can be negotiated for exclusions, beefed up security and if no claims are made.
Having a policy in place may provide peace of mind, but its actual worth will only be known if a setback strikes and a claim is successful. To support a claim, the insurance company will want original invoices, replacement quotations, police reports and, possibly, warranties, gift boxes and photos of the item(s). Make sure you keep these, and keep them somewhere safe. A loss adjustor may be appointed to visit your home, check documentation, make further inquiries, check security and view damage.
In meeting a claim the insurance company has discretion to pay cash, replace, or reinstate items. Each item will have an amount deducted as your contribution to the loss (the excess) as stipulated in the policy.
As future premiums and cover reflect the claims you make, consider preventative measures against burglary. Being surrounded by security services can be deceiving. The Hong Kong police publish "How to Secure Your Home" which gives useful advice tailored to Hong Kong living. Remember, too, that loss of possessions is one thing but physical injury from intruders is another.
A successful claim under your home contents policy will not bring back unique items, or those of sentimental value, nor will it salve the loss of enjoyment of your home; but losses will be mitigated and you may feel less bereft.
The views presented are of a general nature. For specific advice, talk to a professional planner. See the column archive at scmp.com/askmelanie [1]
