Victoria Beckham in Designer Jeans
Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham Denim
Victoria Beckham was spotted leaving her hotel in New York. She was wearing a pair of jeans from her own Victoria Beckham Denim line. It is nice to see that she just doesn't wear something for a season. These jeans are from her Autumn/Winter 09 collection and I'm glad to see her in them again. The last time we saw her in these was at her launch at Bergdorfs a few months back.
I actually really like these jeans. They suit her style very well and the leather-look is amazing. I also like the way she tamed down the look of the jeans with the white tee and blazer. But of course it wouldn't be a Victoria Beckham outfit without a statement piece and I believe it is her shoes here.
Victoria Beckham in Denim Shorts
I had to blog this because I am in love with this outfit! Victoria Beckham was snapped looking a bit unimpressed by the paps as usual as she arrived at Heathrow Airport in London, England a couple of days ago. I heard she is coming here for Fashion Week which starts very soon!
Victoria is always one to dress perfectly and this outfit is no exception! She was wearing a blazer, a long white tee with a pair of tiny denim shorts and Christian Louboutin Alta Bouton boots finished off with her signature sunglasses look. I'm not sure on the brand of her shorts as I can't really see them, they could be her Abercrombie ones but I'm not 100%. Anyone who loves great outfits and shoes as much as me will appreciate this blog post! You can actually follow Victoria's experiences here through fashion week on her Twitter which is @vbfashionweek, she has already posted a lot of tweets!
David Beckham in Dior Homme
David Beckham was seen taking his sons to the park for a little soccer fun in Los Angeles, California. He was wearing his Dior Homme jeans again. These must be his favorite jeans. He has been spotted in them frequently lately. I like that Dior Homme jeans (mostly because of the name) are one of those jeans that you can wear to both events and just to hang out during the day.
I like David's look here. It is very simple, but everything fits very well. I think as long as everything fits well, there is no need to spend a lot on clothes. I really like his belt. Do any of you readers know who it is by? The Beckhams have gradually started adopting the Southern California style over the past few years. Both David and Victoria seem to wear a lot of t-shirts now-a-days.
David Beckham in Dior Homme
David Beckham attends the 2010 Teen Choice Awards wearing Dior Homme jeans. The gorgeous 35-year old, said of his wife, Victoria, during the Teen Choice Awards: "There are so many things, I think the main thing is she's an amazing mother. To see her grow into a person with children – and she's become this amazing person with the children – that's one of the most attractive things about Victoria, and about any woman."
David says that the secret to a happy marriage is quality time. "We've been married 11 years – we've been together for 14 years – and we make it work. We make time for each other. "We work hard as individuals, but our main job is being parents, our boys are our lives so our number one priority is our boys, but then we make time for ourselves, we go for dinner, we go for romantic weekends and you make it work of course." Why is it that the men who have successful marriages are even hotter for that success?! David and Victoria are my favorite sexy couple! Who is yours?

PARIS/ISTANBUL: A female founder member of the Kurdish PKK rebel group and two other female activists were shot dead in Paris overnight in execution-style killings that cast a shadow over peace moves between Ankara and the guerrillas.
The bodies of Sakine Cansiz, who promoted the role of women in the armed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) group, and the two other women were found yesterday in an institute in central Paris with close links to the PKK.
They appeared to have been shot in the head, a French police source said. Kurdish media said one woman was also shot in the stomach. Workers had broken in to the room in the Information Centre of Kurdistan after seeing blood stains at the door.
Cansiz had been a prominent figure in the PKK before falling out with the group's factionalised leadership. A 1995 photograph shows her standing next to militant leader Abdullah Ocalan, wearing olive battle fatigues and clutching an assault rifle.
It was not immediately clear who had carried out the killings; but the PKK has seen intermittent internal feuding during an armed campaign in the mountainous Turkish southeast that has killed some 40,000 since 1984.
Turkish nationalist militants have in the past also been accused of 'extra-judicial killings' of Kurdish activists but such incidents have been confined to Turkey.
Among the crowd gathered behind police lines at the Paris institute were onlookers chanting slogans and waving yellow flags bearing Ocalan's likeness. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said it was too early to apportion blame.
"This may be an internal reckoning. Aside from this, we are engaged in a struggle against terrorism ... but there are people who don't want this. This could be a provocative undertaking by these people," he said during a visit to Senegal.
The killings came shortly after Turkey announced it had re-opened talks with Ocalan, the PKK leader jailed on the prison island of Imrali, near Istanbul. The talks to end the conflict would almost certainly raise tensions within the movement over demands and terms of any ceasefire.
"Rest assured that French authorities are determined to get to the bottom of these unbearable acts," French Interior Minister Manuel Valls said at the scene, adding the killings were "surely an execution".
France is home to a large number of Kurds, many of them having emigrated in the 1960s and 1970s. Reuters

PFA awards
Are these nominations a joke?!?! Bale! BALE?!?!?! The mind boggles.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
They're not the nominations, they're who won the awards. Considering the awards are stupidly voted for in February, its easy to see why Bale and Nasri were the top 2. Both had a storming start to the season, but since christmas, both have faded, including struggling with injury. At the time of the vote in Feb, I would have put Nasri ahead of Bale personally. I find it ridiculous the awards are voted for half way through a season, they shouldn't be done till May.
- 1 Reply to Steve
Sorry, that's what I meant. I agree with you. It's crazy. Bale has done very little since December. So he's basically won something based on 3 months of at times very good play. Even during that period, he was being held at bay quite easily at times. Standards are falling. Nani has outperformed both he and Nasri, but of those nominated, Nasri should have probably got it.

There are few instruments more memorable than the theremin. Together with the laser harp, the theremin is one of the only instruments played without physical contact. It's also the first fully electronic instrument still in use today, having been developed around 1920 and preceded only by the telharmonium. Compared to that instrument, which weighed seven tons or more and had to be transported by train, the theremin was far more practical. Interestingly, the theremin's roots go back to the Russian government's research into proximity sensors in the early twentieth century. Its inventor, Léon Theremin, left Russia shortly after inventing the instrument and eventually made his way to the United States to patent it. In the 1950s, when newer, easier-to-play electronic instruments came into the limelight, the theremin entered the unique niche where it remains today. In that decade, an electronics enthusiast named Robert Moog began building theremins, and you'll find instruments here still bearing his name.
The theremin has always been a tinkerer's instrument, and if you're handy with a soldering iron, you can build your own from the ground up with the Moog Etherwave Build-Your-Own Theremin kit. There are also the Etherwave Standard and Etherwave Plus models for those who would prefer to skip the building and get straight to playing. A modern update to the instrument is the Moog Theremini, which includes some more modern electronics. The Theremini is perfect for learning to play the theremin, with a tuner that gives real-time visual feedback to help you ensure you're correctly hitting the notes. You can also take advantage of its pitch-assistive function, which allows the Theremini to 'jump' to the nearest note in the scale so you're always spot-on. This feature can be adjusted and turned down as you improve your skill and accuracy in order to eventually allow more expressive pitch control and vibrato. If you are looking for an instrument that's truly unique, the theremin definitely fits the bill. As en early electronic instrument, it's also like owning a little piece of music history. Whether your build your own kit theremin or choose one that's ready-made, you'll have a challenging and rewarding instrument at your disposal.

I have successfully installed WP 2.2 For a few days I was trying to create posts and pages to see how things look like, learn the tricks and tips. I had some fifteen odd posts and some similar no. of pages.
Today in the Presentation tab > Widgets > Sidebar Arrangement while I was moving things around from left to right, rearranging the widgets to suit my needs, I suddenly realised that all my PAGES are GONE!!
As I know if the admin himself doesn't delete the Pages the pages shouldn't be deleted from the blog.
What can be the possible reason for this to happen? Are there any known bugs? MOST Importantly how to recover?
Please Help!!

The time it takes for a horse to ejaculate depends on libido. An aggressive horse will take around 2 minutes, but it may take as long as 30 minutes for an average horse.
Horses have the lowest reproductive efficiency of all species of domestic livestock and scientists guess that there is probably not a specific cause. Knowledge of the reproductive physiologies of the mare and stallion is the biggest key to successful horse breeding.
A research project carried out at The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science recently found that 50.7% of Norwegian standard bred horses suffer from joint defects caused by hereditary diseases, which should now be taken into account when breeding.

I transferred some pictures from my PC to my iPhone 4G. I am unable to delete these pictures that were sent to my iPhone.
If you are using an iPhone 3GS, then you may still be on iOS 4. At this OS level, the ability to delete synced photos was not available, and you would only remove photos that you took with your camera in the camera roll. The only way to remove them, is to remove it from your sync list, and sync again.

Having worked with Spring MVC for JAVA, I've gotten used to having @Transactional behaviour being applied in the service layer which works fabulously well with Hibernate DAOs. Now that I'm faced with a similar challenge in a project which is based on LINQ to SQL ORM, I see that all transactions are taking places within DAOs ( i.e. using (DC dc = new DC() { dc.submitChanges()}
How do you remove transaction logic from DAOs and bring it to the service layer in ASP.NET MVC LINQ2SQL project?
Thank you.

Then I checked the leaderboards and noticed that only somewhere around 30-50 people have played ranked. That's really disturbing, but I know it's only been a day or whatever since it's release. Hopefully like 2-3 days from now I can actually find some games online.
Anyway, if worse comes to worse, I'd like to get some games going with anybody on the site that has the game.

This paper develops a multi-modal transport network model considering various travel modes including railway, bus, auto, and walking. Travellers are assumed to choose their multi-modal routes so as to minimise their perceived disutilities of travel following the Probit Stochastic User Equilibrium (SUE) condition. Factors influencing the disutility of a multi-modal route include actual travel times, discomfort on transit systems, expected waiting times, fares, and constants specific to transport modes. The paper then deals with the multi-modal network design problem (NDP). The paper employs the method of sensitivity analysis to define linear approximation functions between the Probit SUE link flows and the design parameters, which are then used as constraints in the sub-problem of the NDP instead of the original SUE condition. Based on this reformulated NDP, an efficient algorithm for solving the problem is proposed in the paper. Two instances of this general NDP formulation are then presented in the paper: the optimal frequency design problem for public transport services (FDP), and the anti-freezing admixture dispersion problem (AADP).

Blizzard hiring console lead designer for Diablo III
Blizzard hiring console lead designer for Diablo III
Brendan Sinclair
Nov 16, 2010 9:09 am AEST
Job listing renews speculation about a living room version of upcoming PC and Mac action role-playing game sequel; studio says it's exploring options.
Blizzard Entertainment may soon renew its on-again, off-again relationship with gaming consoles. The company has posted a
new job opening on its official site
seeking a "Lead Designer, Console" to work on Diablo III.
Blizzard wants a Diablo III lead designer with considerable console chops.
According to the listing, Blizzard wants someone who has shipped at least one AAA console game in a senior design role and possesses a "strong sense of what makes a fun and compelling experience for console titles and games in general." Experience with porting multiplatform games is also considered a "plus" for candidates.
Speculation of a console version of Diablo III has been circulating since the game was
first announced at BlizzCon 2008
. At the time, company representatives only confirmed the title for the PC and Mac, quickly followed by a teasing, "for now." The company has been similarly coy about a release date for the game, bringing up the familiar Blizzard refrain that the game would be launched "when it's ready."
In the 16-bit era, Blizzard was as much a console developer as a PC outfit, delivering titles like The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, and Justice League: Task Force. After Warcraft: Orcs & Humans became a hit, the studio established a string of successful PC franchises, including Starcraft and Diablo. In 2002, the company announced a return to consoles with Starcraft: Ghost. However, after repeated setbacks and delays, that project was
abandoned in 2006
[UPDATE]: Blizzard has issued a statement explaining the posting to its fans, stating, "We're exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we've said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we're interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you're passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.
"Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don't intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game."

1968 Mercury Cougar news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chassis Num:
When first introduced, the Mercury Cougar automobiles shared the same platform as the Ford Mustang. Later, they would use the Ford Thunder's platform. The final Cougar were built atop the Contour platform. The Cougar was Mercury's pony car performance machine. There were two models to chose from, the base and the XR-7. There was only one body-style and that was the two-door hardtop. There were a variety of engines to select from starting with the 289 cubic-inch 4-barrel V8 which was rated at 225 horsepower to a 390 cubic-inch V8 4barrel which produced 335 horsepower. The performance package, the GT, was offered on both the base and XR-7 versions. The GT package added the 390 cubic-inch V8 engine and a handling and performance upgrades.
The Mercury Cougar XR-7G, named after the famed racer Dan Gurney, could be ordered from the factory and included many performance add-ons, including a hood scoop, Lucas fog lamps, and hood pins.
The 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 finished in red with white top was offered for sale at the 2006 World Wide Group Auction held on Hilton Head Island where it was expected to fetch between $25,000-$35,000. The XR-7 option included a wood-rimmed steering wheel, competition-type instrumentation, walnut dash, toggle switches, leather-covered T-handle automatic transmission shifter, combination leather/vinyl seats, and an overhead console. At the conclusion of the auction the vehicle had been sold for $22,000.

Hardtop Coupe
This 1968.5 Mercury Cougar has a 428 CJ RAM AIR engine, automatic gearbox, and is finished in Onyx black. It is one of the rarest and nicest Cougars in the world. It has a race history that makes it even more unique and special. It was raced by John Elliot and tuned by Barry Poole. They were given the nickname, 'The Boarder Bandit', because of all the US race titles they won and took back to Canada. The 'Boarder Bandits' won the 1968 Stock Eliminator Class with this car. It has been inducted into the Canadian Motor Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. This Cougar is fully documented with everything imaginable; has original owners cards, Marti Auto Report documenting the car as 1 of 1, original invoice, reproduction window sticker, all receipts and photos of the restoration, complete part's break down, photo of the car on the race track in 1968, an article in Ford Mustang Magazine and featured on Speedvision. The car raced until 1974 then parked until the previous owner recently discovered it. It took three years to complete the nut-and-bolt restoration which brought it back to concours quality. With the limited availability of reproduction parts, it was restored using almost all NOS parts. It has traveled a mere 34 miles since it was completed.
XR-7 Hardtop Coupe
Promoted as 'Cougar....The Man's Car' the XR-7 was introduced in 1967 and was Motor Trends 'Car of the Year'. The XR-7 is fully equipped with all the conveniences of the day and features full leather upholstery, a unique feature among 60's muscle cars. While the XR-7 shares much in common with the Ford Mustang, the Cougar has its own aura and personality.
This GT-E version was the only vehicle Ford Production produced in 1968 with the 427 cubic-inch 390 horsepower V8 side oiler engine.
Production was 357 units.
Their slogan was 'See your dealer - At the Sign of the Cat.'
Hardtop Coupe
The Cougar automobile speaks to changing market trends. The car was introduced in 1967 as a Mercury version of the Mustang. By 1968 the marketing was moving away from the performance-oriented 'pony car' image of the Mustang and toward sporty luxury. The high-end XR-7 model was projected as a sort of poor-man's Jaguar.
Hardtop Coupe
In 1967, Lincoln-Mercury would respond to the ever growing Pony Car wars with a slightly more upscale offering known as the Cougar. With nicer trim and appointments than its brother the Ford Mustang, it was an early version of a personal luxury car, designed to appeal to a more affluent and mature buyer.
With the growing interest in high-performance cars, Mercury would enter the race with several big-block engine offerings. Among them was the hot 427 cubic-inch side oiler engine, a proven performer factory rated at 390 horsepower. It is believed that approximately 350 of these engines were carried over from the 1967 model year and the decision was made to allocate them to the Cougar to create the GTE model. These Cougars represent the final offering from Ford or Mercury to have this ultra-high-performance engine under the hood. This would also be their only Pony Car to offer the 427 as a factory option, as it was not offered on the Mustang.
This GTE Cougar has a wonderful combination of luxury and performance. In addition to the 427 engine, it has a number of performance and trim options, including the two-tone paint, styled chrome wheels and more. It was the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals magazine cover and poster car for 2014. The car has undergone an extensive full restoration to factory original specifications and is the only 427 GTE built in Onyx Black with a Saddle interior.
The Mercury Cougar appeared in 1967 as a sport-luxury vehicle. The muscle car era was in full swing and Mercury used a longer version of the Ford Mustang chassis complete with two doors, leather bucket seats, and V8 engines. In its inaugural year, Motor Trend awarded it their prestigious award, the Car of the Year. The Mercury brought style, sophistication and speed. The engine options ranged from a 289 cubic inch V8 engine producing nearly 200 horsepower to a 390 cubic inch 8-cylinder power-plant capable of producing 335 horsepower and an amazing 427 foot-pounds of torque. The high performance 390 cubic-inch engine ran the quarter-mile in sixteen seconds and raced from zero to sixty in 8.1 seconds. A three-speed synchromesh gearbox was standard and a four-speed manual and three-speed Merc-O-Matic were also available, allowing for customization to suite all types of drivers and styles. The suspension was modified from the Mustang platform to include a longer rear leaf spring and an upgraded front suspension, the result was a softer, comfortable ride with a sports-racing heritage. An optional firmer suspension complete with stiffer springs, solid rear bushings, larger shocks, and wider anti-roll bars, were available for a price. If the driver preferred luxury over performance, the XR-7 package was available. This included competition instrumentation, walnut dash, leather-covered automatic transmission shifter, wood-trimmed steering wheel, and a combination of leather and vinyl seats. Just over 27,000 of the XR-7 option was ordered during its introductory year. The XR-7 option was offered for all years the pony-car Cougar was produced. More than 150,000 2-door Cougar hardtops were produced in 1967.
The success and popularity of the car continued in 1968 although sales did drop by around 40,000 vehicles. There were still well-over 110,000 examples produced in 1968. The base engine was the 289 V8 engine producing nearly 200 horsepower. The muscle-car era was heating up, and so were the available engines that Mercury was offering. A 427 and 428 cubic-inch engine became available with the 427 producing 390 horsepower and the 428 producing 335. With the 427, the Cougar could run from zero to sixty in 7.1 seconds and the quarter-mile in just over 15 seconds. The 428 was offered near the close of 1968 model year, a move that was intended to allow the buyer with customization room while keeping insurance and safety personnel content. When compared with the 427, the 428 did better on satisfying emission requirements and had around fifty-less horsepower. A performance package was offered, the GT-E, complete with the 427 cubic-inch V8 matted to a SelectShift Merc-O-Matic, power disc brakes, hood scoop which did nothing except add to the aggressive look of the vehicle, various performance and handling upgrades, and steel wheels.
The cougar changed in many ways in 1969. A convertible option was now offered, the 427 engine option was removed, and the wheelbase became wider and longer resulting in a heavier vehicle. Sales were still strong but they just barely cleared 100,000 units. Mercury introduced the Eliminator package available in blue, orange, and yellow exterior colors. Under the hood lurked a four-barrel Windsor 351 cubic-inch V8 capable of producing nearly 300 horsepower. The base engine was a 302 cubic-inch 8-cylinder producing 290 horsepower with the top of the line engine a 428 cubic-inch 8-cylinder producing just under 340 horsepower. Mercury offered products such as Weber carbs and deep-sump oil pans that amplified the performance to meet customer performance requirements. Larger brakes, sportier suspension, engine modifications, and performance products did make the car a stronger force on the drag strip but it was often shown-up by the smaller and lighter muscle cars of the day.
For 1970 the Cougar continued to grow in size. Although the size meant more interior room for the passengers, it also meant more weight. The Eliminator was still available, now with a 351 cubic-inch Cleveland 8-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower. The 302 cubic-inch V8 rated at 290 horsepower was the base engine. A 429 cubic-inch 8-cylinder big-block with Ram-Air induction offered 375 horsepower and 440 foot-pounds of torque. With less than 4,300 convertible options sold during the 1970 model year, it guarantees their exclusivity in modern times. Although the size of the car and the available engines grew, sales did not. Just over 72,000 examples were produced in 1970.
The muscle-car era was beginning to decline due to stiff safety and emission regulations, gas shortages, and steeper insurance premiums. Mercury decided to continue the Cougar on the path of luxury with sport-tendencies, resulting in a larger wheelbase. The Eliminator package was no longer offered. The 351 or 429 cubic-inch engine were all that were offered. Horsepower ranged from 285 through 370 depending on the engine and configuration selected. 3,440 convertible were sold and nearly 63,000 combined total Mercury Cougars were produced in 1971.
In 1972 the 351 cubic-inch V8 was all that were offered. Sales were around 54,000 units with the hardtop configuration proving again to be the popular option. Horsepower was now rated in SAE Net horsepower. The Cougar produced between 168 through just over 265 depending on configuration. The same continued into the 1973 model year.
With sales around 60,000 in 1973, Mercury decided it would be the final year for the Cougar in the 'pony' car configuration. Mercury continued to use the name 'Cougar' in various models.
Built atop an enlarged Ford Mustang chassis, adorned with luxury Mercury had become famous for, and powered by high-performance engines, the Mercury Cougar was a well-rounded vehicle. It was designed to offer performance while keeping the occupants comfortable and content.

hbnHere's one for ya, what does a duck use to stick stuff together? Duck Tape :D

That's a common misconception on the name. The actual spelling, and pronunciation is 'duct' tape. Another misconception is that duct tape is used on air ducts, however you should not use it for such purposes! It is a fabric based tape with a rubber adhesive; because of this it can become brittle over time.
Also, ducks don't need to stick stuff together.

Keep your own personal log to jot down which services you performed, how much the parts cost you, the date, and the amount of hours on the engine at the time.
Keep all receipts for parts purchased, so that they may be referred to in case of related problems or to determine operating expenses. As a do-it-yourselfer, these receipts are the only proof you have that the required maintenance was performed. In the event of a warranty problem (on new motors), these receipts can be invaluable.
It's necessary to mention the difference between maintenance and repair. Maintenance includes routine inspections, adjustments, and replacement of parts that show signs of normal wear.
Maintenance compensates for wear or deterioration. Repair implies that something has broken or is not working. A need for repair is often caused by lack of maintenance.
For example: draining and refilling the gearcase oil is maintenance recommended by all manufacturers at specific intervals. Failure to do this can allow internal corrosion or damage and impair the operation of the motor, requiring expensive repairs. While no maintenance program can prevent items from breaking or wearing out, a general rule can be stated:
With the help of this Seloc 3208 Mercruiser Stern Drive DIY repair manual for 2001-2013 models, you will be able to handle all repair and service tasks yourself, which will save you lots of money on repairs. This manual includes detailed diagrams, photos and exploded views for all steps to really clarify exactly what you need to do. Wiring diagrams and detailed specs are also included.

Public Hearing on Denver Medical Marijuana Ad Ban Held
A public hearing was set to take place Monday night in The Denver City Council to discuss a proposed ban on medical marijuana advertising in the city. The proposal would ban billboard, bus-bench and sidewalk sign-twirler advertising.
On one side of the issue is the Cannabis Business Alliance, which denounces the proposal by saying it creates too many uncertainties for the industry.
On the other side is the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, which supports the proposed ban by arguing that it is a show of neighborliness for an industry that is not always embraced in communities.
While outdoor ads would be banned under the proposal, dispensaries would still be able to advertise in newspapers and magazines and would also be able to put their logos on items for charity events they sponsor.
"I think this is in the best interests of our children across the city," City Councilwoman Debbie Ortega said of the ban.
Not telling children that marijuana can be used for medical purposes is in their best interests? Mommy and daddy have their pills and the beer in the fridge and the liquor in the cabinet, but we can't tell kids that some people use cannabis for medical reasons?
Alcohol companies now have TV commercials for candy-flavored vodka that can easily be seen by children all over the country, but medical cannabis cannot be discussed and must even be hidden from public view.
Here's an idea. Instead of banning billboards, why don't parents tell their kids the truth about things? Is that an extreme of fringe idea? The Medical Marijuana Industry Group wants people to know dispensaries can be good neighbors, and that is a noble cause, especially in this dismal political climate, but things can be taken too far.
When will marijuana just be treated like what it is: a non-toxic substance with amazing medical and recreational properties?

Although you can find free tools to help keep Windows and your other software up-to-date, you'll have to pay to get the best tool for scanning your system's drivers and downloading the updates you need.
I found some good driver updaters but also one full-on scam — Prosoft3D's Driver Update 5 — that simply points you to Windows' Device Manager and tells you to do the job yourself.
Driver Update 5 is a joke masquerading as software
Most driver-update products let you scan your computer for free before expecting you to pay. Prosoft3D's Driver Update 5 is an exception, requiring a full purchase before you get to install or use it at all.
Once you pay, the reason becomes evident: The product has only two features: It (1) opens Windows' Device Manager for you and (2) displays a short message box with basic instructions on using Device Manager to update a specific driver. In other words, you pay U.S. $20 (or more) for a product that does what Windows Help itself does — and a whole lot less.
There is no scanning to tell you what drivers are out of date. You have to know that yourself and correct it more-or-less manually using Windows' own tools.
The program's installer prompts you to accept a folder where the product will be installed but doesn't store anything in the folder or even create it to begin with.

When the team looking after the power industry contractors' EBA found themselves a man short, Organiser Mick Montebello put his hand up to cover and was right into the action from day one. He is now leading the campaign that covers members all over Victoria and across Australia.
It was the first agreement up for negotiation since the election of the Abbott Government, some 50 employers were involved and members were spread the length and breadth of the country – a big ask in anybody's language.
'And just at the start of the campaign the call went out for assistance so I put my hand up,' Mick says.
'And shortly after Matt Boyd came on full time as an organiser working in the power industry.'
Mick had most recently had been looking after a large patch of construction in Melbourne's south eastern suburbs, along with responsibilities in the lift industry, so he knew what campaigning was all about.
"I had to get across where the companies were coming from and work out the best place to start our plan of attack," Mick says.
"While most of the members involved are in Victoria there are members affected in NSW, Western Australia and Queensland, so with these distances to cover it was important for me to very quickly get across exactly what the issues were and get the message out to members wherever they were."
Stewards meetings across October sorted out the broad parameters of an agreement and then began shaping up specifics to meeting the needs of members working for a range of different employers.
"First and foremost the strategy was to set the foundation for secure employment and established conditions given the change of Federal Government and then to tailor local agreements with individual employers," Mick says.

Heat Stroke Topic Guide
Heat Stroke: Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Heat stroke is caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures while working, exercising, doing strenuous or non-strenuous activity, and certain medications. Symptoms of heat stroke include muscle cramps, profuse sweating, rapid pulse and breathing, dizziness, and headache. If heat stroke is not treated emergently, the prognosis is poor.
Heat Cramps Heat cramps occur when a person is working or exercising in a hot environment. The cause of heat cramps is not well known, however, those at risk are infants and children, the elderly, those without proper air conditioning in hot environments, alcohol use, and certain medications. Heat cramps generally do not require medical attention, however, if heat exhaustion or heat stroke is suspected, seek medical care immedately.

Quantum relativity theory and quantum space-time

A quantum relativity theory formulated in terms of Davis' quantum relativity principle is outlined. The first task in this theory as in classical relativity theory is to model space-time, the arena of natural processes. It is shown that the quantum space-time models of Banai introduced in another paper is formulated in terms of Davis' quantum relativity. The recently proposed classical relativistic quantum theory of Prugovečki and his corresponding classical relativistic quantum model of space-time open the way to introduce, in a consistent way, the quantum space-time model (the quantum substitute of Minkowski space) of Banai proposed in the paper mentioned. The goal of quantum mechanics of quantum relativistic particles living in this model of space-time is to predict the rest mass system properties of classically relativistic (massive) quantum particles ("elementary particles"). The main new aspect of this quantum mechanics is that provides a true mass eigenvalue problem, and that the excited mass states of quantum relativistic particles can be interpreted as elementary particles. The question of field theory over quantum relativistic model of space-time is also discussed. Finally it is suggested that "quarks" should be considered as quantum relativistic particles.

Upload Your Photo
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 to 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium-size Granny Smith apples, sliced (or 1 Red Rome and 1 Granny Smith)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cranberries
- 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- lemon juice (optional)
- confectioners' sugar
In a medium-size bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs. Slowly add the flour, whisking all the while to prevent lumps. Gradually add the milk and whisk to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
In a medium-size skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter, then add the apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the apples are fork tender, about 15 minutes.
In a 9-inch pie plate, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, being careful not to bum it (or spray with a nonstick cooking spray). Fill the plate with the apple mixture and top with the batter. Bake in a preheated 450˚F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Top the pancake with a sprinkling of lemon juice, if desired, and finish off with a liberal dusting of confectioners' sugar. Slice into portions and serve immediately.

Here in New England | The Man Who Listens to Soldiers
"'Oh, so is that what those plaques are?'
"It occurs to me that nobody's brought him up there to see. It was one of those moments where I say to myself, 'Who am I? What should I say?' I say, 'Do you want to go up and take a look?' And he holds my hand and we go up."
A second wall in Coffin's office is filled with eight self-portraits, drawn under the tutelage of a Santa Fe artist. They're vivid, strange, luminous–a man with eyes so large they're like wild moons within a face. "Something emotional comes out when you do these," Coffin said. "It's a guy I've dreamed about. There's not a good name for it; maybe he's an angel or a spirit ally. I call him 'Rondal.' In a dream I was climbing up a deep, circular turret made of stone, like a dungeon. Out of the corner of my eye, there's a guy with a knife waiting to kill me. And my guy, my spirit ally, took care of him for me. Sounds crazy, but I sure like having him up on the wall surrounding me."
In his own way, Coffin has also been the protector of soldiers he feels should stay home. One soldier's father lay in a hospital bed in the family's living room. His wife, with two small children, would need to care for him. "He wanted to go," Coffin said. "Nearly all want to go. They train together; they're in this together. But I had to make him understand that there can be a nobility in taking care of people here, too."
Another soldier had already deployed once; his wife said that if he deployed again, she would leave. "The three of us went to a quiet place for coffee," Coffin said. The more he listened, the more he realized that there were compelling reasons beneath the surface for the soldier to stay and keep his family together. He made sure the soldier didn't deploy. Coffin didn't tell them that once when he and his second wife were out to dinner with some other couples, "one of my wife's friends said to me, 'What's more important, your marriage or your work?' I made the mistake of answering truthfully."
On this November day in 2010, Coffin was scrambling to get everything ready before leaving in three days for Camp Atterbury in Indiana. Soon the first wave of Guardsmen would arrive home, and then every four days another planeload, until the final plane would land just before Christmas. The Army had just told him that most of the support he'd thought he'd have had been, in military terms, "deleted"–budget cuts. Coffin now knew that he couldn't accomplish the long, intense debriefing sessions; too many soldiers, too few days, too few trained people to help. "All the strikes are against us," he said. "I had vet-center people coming, I had counselors from the Howard Center, and I haven't had the courage yet to tell them they can't come. I'm going to be the only f—— psychologist there."
Who he would have would be a small group of nurses, including Colonel Janet Thomas, a school nurse with nearly 30 years of Guard duty behind her, who had been with him on previous demobilizations; Major Tom Johnston, a semi-retired dentist who would be pressed into counseling duties, and Staff Sergeant Jason Cleveland, a smart, hard-nosed bear of a man who had served two intense and bloody tours. "He talks to soldiers from his bones," Coffin said.
Cleveland had also once flown back from war and found Colonel Coffin waiting. "I thought, 'Who is this kooky guy who wants to hug me and tells me he loves me?'" But he saw how Coffin got to him and his fellow soldiers, and he wanted to be part of it. "He got the importance of it," Coffin said.
Cleveland wears the combat patches on his sleeves, one from Iraq, one from Afghanistan, that tell soldiers that whatever they went through, he did, too. When he tells them that therapy saved his marriage; that he thought he could escape 12 ounces at a time; that you can tell a soldier to f— himself, but you can't say that to your wife; that your family deployed with you and worried about you every day; that he lost half his squad in one day and that he locked himself in a room in Iraq with the rest of his team and they drank and played video games until they couldn't feel; that he knows about nightmares and feeling as though you're living on a cliff; that "you can't just file what happened to you in a drawer and walk away"–when he tells them those things–he has their attention.
So in Indiana, Coffin and his small team would have to fan out: find soldiers who served with Grady and DeLuzio and Southworth; find others considered at possible risk to themselves or to others. Before leaving Afghanistan, the Guardsmen had filled out a questionnaire, and nearly 300 had been identified as in need of followup counseling. Coffin and his team would have to find them in the barracks, in the mess hall, walking across the barren base.
Coffin packs stacks of cards with his phone number, which he hands out to soldiers, along with hugs. The cards say Exchanges of Significance. What he hopes to do in Indiana is "sow the seeds; have conversations. What they've been doing is dehumanizing. But you try and get people to come back and be human."
There's that. And then there's this: On his desk was a booklet about suicide in the National Guard, which is rising at an alarming rate. What he has said to Jason Cleveland is what he tells everyone who comes to work beside him: "Talk to everyone. Don't ignore anything." And he always adds, "You're going to save a life while you're down here."
To reach Camp Atterbury, you drive 32 miles south of Indianapolis, past the silos and the snow-veined fields, with semis bullying past on I-65. Outside Edinburgh, its mall all lit up for Christmas, you come to the base, 12 miles long, 4 wide, a town unto itself. There in the early dark of a raw mid-December night, Colonel Coffin pulls his rented sedan in front of a barracks. Two young men, waiting outside, quickly slide in. They're in their early twenties, and they're from small towns near Lake Champlain. They'd lost their driver's licenses before they deployed because of DUIs. To re-enter civilian life, to have a chance at a job, they need their suspensions lifted. This is why for the second night Coffin is escorting them to an AA meeting about 20 minutes away. When he sees these young soldiers, he sees himself long ago, back from war, full of questions without answers.
What the soldiers don't know is that the colonel who's driving them can't see well at night, especially on an unfamiliar road. Nor do they know that Sergeant Cleveland remembers a time when Coffin was driving him to the airport. Coffin had trouble holding the lane, drifting back and forth. When they finally got on the plane, one of the medical team peered at Coffin and his glasses. "Sir," he pointed out, "do you know you're missing a lens?"
"He just loses himself in soldiers," Cleveland says. "He forgets everything else." Now Coffin drives warily through the Indiana night.

Itau Chile Reports Fall in Value of Short-Term Fund Assets
Itau Chile Administradora General de Fondos SA, a unit of Brazil's Itau Unibanco Holding SA, is changing the way it values five short-term fixed-income mutual funds after "significant declines" in the investments.
The company will start valuing the assets in the funds at market rates, it said in a statement to the securities regulator today. The funds affected all invest in debt with maturities of less than 90 days, yields of which have climbed in Chile in the past month.
Itau is among at least seven fund managers in Chile to have announced a similar change today, including the local fund management units of ING Groep NV and Banco Bilbao Vizacaya Argentaria SA. Chilean rules allow funds that invest in short-term securities to value their assets using the yield they were bought at unless the difference between that method and the market price is greater than 0.1 percent of the portfolio's value.
"During the last few weeks, the term deposits market has been experiencing a substantial rise in interest rates and a tightening of liquidity, a situation that escalated yesterday," Itau said in an e-mailed statement. "The degree of variation surpassed regulatory limits."
The company made no changes in the methodologies it uses to mark securities to market, it said.
Money-market funds managed by 13 Chilean asset managers posted losses of at least 0.1 percent yesterday, according to data from the country's mutual fund association.
"Money market funds are valued at purchase value and there are minimum standards for the deviations between portfolio value and market value," said Macarena Ossa, planning and development manager at the Chilean mutual funds association. "All the fund managers follow a process when that happens and they shift to mark-to-market."

1. Re: java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy60 while connecting to JAX-WS from JbossGopi G Jan 13, 2012 7:36 AM (in response to Gopi G)
When i removed jboss-jaxrpc.jar from my instance lib directory, jax-ws webservice started working from my application server. I am not getting the ClassCastException.
However remote debugging options are not working after i remove the jaxprc jar. When I added the jaxrpc jar back to lib folder, I am getting the ClassCastException again.
How do i fix this now?

I agree with checking how well the ceramic cap sits and also verify the top hole is flat and doesn't have a low spot around it's circumference that would create an air gap. The question on how long it had been shut-down and how hot you had been running it before shut-down could be contributing factors. The fact the egg is insulative will lengthen the time it takes for the embers to cool after being deprived of oxygen, I know my old little smokey joe would extinguish fairly quickly after closing the vents, but black painted metal is an excellent heat conductor and heat dissipator.How tight is the ceramic cap, does it rock or have a lot of play? I lined the caps with leftover gasket material to get a real tight seal. Also, how many hours had elapsed since you shut down last night?
