We had never been to Ocean Isle Beach, but when we found out about the Winter Sale (1 room 2 nights ocean front for $99) we couldn't resist, but we didn't expect a lot for as little as we paid. They blew our socks off! Everything was ready for us when we got there and we couldn't believe our luck when we saw the views we had of the ocean. Ocean Isle Beach is the prettiest beach visually I've seen on the NC coast. The room was clean, and the beds were to DIE for...extremely comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff. From Tanya who made our reservations and went out of her way to help make sure we had a great mommy/daughter getaway to every staff person we encountered along the way, we could not have asked to be treated any better. This is not a new facility, but, whomever is running it has their eye on the ball big time and it could not have been more enjoyable. Thank you SO much and we will most definitely visit again when the weather is warmer. I'm sure the rates will be higher but it was a steal for us and well worth the price I'm sure. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

Via Microtechnology, an Alternative to Glasses and Contacts
By BONNIE ROTHMAN MORRIS
Published: June 13, 1999
I'M lying on my back, clutching a stuffed toy elephant and a wad of wet tissues. My jaw is clenched, my limbs are tense, my shoulder blades are hot-wired to my chair. I am not having a breakthrough in therapy, though I am about to change my life. I am one moment away from having elective surgery on my eyes -- both of them -- and am well into white-knuckle territory.
''Bonnie, are you ready?'' says a gentle voice directly behind my head.
Dr. John Seedor, the director of cornea and refractive surgery at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, prepares to work. He will be performing a popular, reportedly painless, bloodless procedure, called Lasik (laser in situ keratomileusis, which means carving the cornea with a laser) and known affectionately by doctors as ''flap and zap.'' Dr. Seedor has assured me that Lasik will correct my 20/400 vision -- a nearsightedness (myopia) so severe that my hand looks fuzzy when held at arm's length. I sure hope he's telling the truth.
My eyeballs have been numbed with anesthetic drops. The eyelashes of my right eye have been taped to my face. A device that looks like a giant's eyelash curler is holding my eye open. I stare into a small, innocuous-looking machine hovering overhead and see a blinking vermilion light. Desperate to suck oxygen into lungs too scared to fill, I squeak, ''I'm ready.''
Available in the United States for about three years, Lasik corrects vision by altering the shape of the cornea. It is the latest mousetrap in a decadeslong line of vision-correction procedures based on this theory.
Lasik depends on two high-technology devices, both approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but not for use together. The first, a microkeratome, slices a one- to two-millimeter-thick flap in the top of the cornea. The surgeon lifts the flap off the eye as if opening a flip telephone.
Then, a broad-beam excimer laser burns away some cells from the cornea's midsection, the corneal stroma. In myopes, like me, the cornea has too much curvature, and the laser will flatten it. For the farsighted, the laser will steepen the cornea. For an astigmatic cornea, which is bumpy, the laser will treat the areas that are very steep, making the curvature less severe. The zapping usually takes less than a minute. The surgeon closes the flap, floods the eye with saline solution, presses out the air bubbles with a tiny surgical sponge, drips in some antibiotics and, voila! Vision.
Lasik doesn't hurt. There are no stitches, no bandages, and the flap heals on its own. Most people can drive and work the next day. Within 7 to 10 days, vision is stabilized. Ninety percent of the time, the patient is left with 20/40 vision or better. The procedure has never caused blindness.
Still, it holds no guarantees. Patients need to sign extensive release forms warning that vision can be worse after surgery. During my pre-surgery consultation, Dr. Seedor made me repeat after him that I would be happy if my vision corrected to 20/30, which would mean that I might need glasses for driving, maybe for the movies. But I've worn glasses since age 6 and contacts since I was 12; 20/30 sounded like perfection to me -- especially since I had developed allergies to most contact lens solutions, and I had a case of the ''dowdies'' every time I wore glasses in public.
After developing allergies, I asked my ophthalmologist, Dr. Maria Arnett, for an opinion. Her advice: if you don't need it, don't do it. This is, after all, elective surgery on fairly healthy eyes.
I figured my allergies let me fit into one of her squishy categories. Besides, my glasses were making permanent indentations on the sides of my nose.
Six months later, I'm ready. Usually, in surgery, patients put themselves in the hands of a capable doctor and hope for the best. With Lasik, dutiful patients need to stay focused on that red light.
''What happens if my eye wanders?'' I ask, imagining my eyeball blowing up like a set piece in an action film. Quite simply, the doctor will stop zapping until I can refocus.
I'm twisting the elephant's trunk. ''You're going to go gray or completely dark for a second -- just keep looking into the light,'' Dr. Seedor says. There's tremendous pressure on my eyeball. Even though my eye is open, for a split second, I'm blind. Gears whine centimeters from my ear. It's the flap-maker. The grinding stops, the pressure abates. I can see the red light again, only it's a tiny red blur.
The flap is lifted; it feels like a contact lens being removed. My vision is now smudged. I keep as steady as Philippe Petit on the high wire as the laser blinks for about a minute. Dr. Seedor closes the flap. The saline flooding my eyes is cool and uncomfortable, but it's a tolerable discomfort. ''Ready for the other eye?'' he asks.
Honestly, I wasn't sure. My body was still shuddering from the blindness, the gears, the acute smell of smoke that I imagined was from my burned corneal cells, but was actually from the laser. In 20 minutes, total, it was over. I released my grip on the elephant, and sat up.

FIM LUNA Riding Dolphin by MadPonyScientistWatch
©2011-2016 MadPonyScientist
Luna riding Dolphin on the moon. This is the last MLP main character I have made. I put it on eBay on Dec 30, 2011 and it is still there. Since then I have been concentrating on MLP friends.
"Luna would give a fuck but she went and spent all those fucks on this mechanical dolphin!" XD! This made my day !!!
well keep your panties on because i am going to make it again this week but this time her mane will be flowing, the dolphin will actually move and there might be sound!
Now that sounds awesome
i hope so! please don't take this the wrong way because i know you have a boyfriend and i am sure you are happy but i just wanted to tell you that the picture of you looking into the mirror...you have beautiful expressive eyes...just sayin...
I get that alot and I do have gorgeous eyes :3. My eyes are my most proudest feature on my face and thank you on that :3.
Hm... This is quite awesome.
Thank you.
P.S. I am that dude who made the original picture.
Thank you.
P.S. I am that dude who made the original picture.
Thank you so much for the compliment and the inspiration. I think I tried to ask you if it was okay a long time ago but it probably just got buried in comments. This is still one of my favorites and I am actually planning to remake it very soon. I never really do that but I am better at sculpting now and I just want to do justice to this one because I love to see Luna having fun. She has always been my favorite to sculpt. Anyway, thank you so very much
this is so awesome! i love seeing luna happy ^^
indeed! she does look awfully happy, doesn't she?
Hasbro, please hire this guy....
YES YES! now Gir Riding a Pig, Has A Friend that rides with a one as well!
yeah i think she lost her mind spending so many time on the moon.
astronauts are scary.
astronauts are scary.
Yay for Happy Luna riding a Dolphin! Yay for Randomness!
She does look happy doesn't she. I think a lot of people like to see her happy because the eBay listing for this sculpture has far more views than any of the last 400 auctions I have run. I think it is close to 900 right now while most of the others don't get more than 200 views. Yay for Happy Luna, indeed!!!
Riding dolphins naked through the universe.
Wouldn't that be great if we all could!!!
That is brilliant!
I want to see the Dolphin ride in the show!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hi there!
I installed this great plugin! I really love the CAPTCHA thingy.
But I have one tiny problem with the custom (HTML) mails.
Some variables aren't returned in the email.
Therefore a new user can't click on a URL, because there isn't an URL, nor does he see it's username, because PHP returned null there as well.
Is this a bug? I only installed, and activated it.

The 1930's era gas-powered compressor in this photo was made by Schramm Inc., a century-old Pennsylvania company that is still in existence. In the old days Schramm made compressors; it now specializes in truck- and trailer-mounted drilling equipment for wells, geothermal, and energy exploration. The compressor shown here would have originally been up off the ground on iron wheels; the piece sticking out the front is the hand crank for starting the engine.

This was produced by the Power Machinery Company of Vancouver, BC and was first sold in 1949. Of course chainsaws have been around for longer than that. The first portable gas-powered model was built by Festo (the original owner of Festool) in 1925.
What you want to look at here are the two wooden frames with fuel tanks and motors attached; the one in front is labeled RM Wade & Company. These are drag saws, which came after the hand-operated cross-cut saw but before the chainsaw. They consist of a two-stroke engine attached to a cross-cut saw blade. The one in back has a blade on it; the one in front does not. The blade on a drag saw could be oriented to fell standing trees or cut downed trees into shorter pieces. It's a clever design, and as hard as it must have been to haul these things into the forest, it had to have been much easier than sawing by hand. To see one in action, search for "drag saw" on YouTube or click the link to this video.

Non-cemented femoral fixation in hip arthroplasty has become the standard of practice in the USA. However, recent literature has brought attention to an increasing incidence of periprosthetic femur fractures with certain stem designs. This study examines reasons for early periprosthetic femur fractures in patients with a hip arthroplasty performed using a non-cemented tapered wedge stem design. A multivariate analysis using a matched-cohort design was performed to assess any potential risk factors that may predispose to such fractures. Six of 2,220 hips (0.3%) suffered a periprosthetic femur fracture within the first year after surgery; five of six were Vancouver Type B2. The average time to fracture was 9 weeks. This group of patients had a significantly higher canal–flare index and lower canal–calcar ratio. This complication may be preventable by having a better appreciation of the fit between the implant and the bone during pre-operative planning, with the goal of avoiding a proximal–distal mismatch.

Thanks for the quick replies :)
System restore has been disabled. After looking at the event viewer I found the date that the computer developed a slow boot time. As there are no updates or...

I just wanted to download some skins for this great plug-in, and found that the official site for this plug-in has been down. When will it be up again?
If possible could someone post the link to some dark skins for mingle forum, so that I can choose one for my website? I remember there were two dark skins on the official sites but not sure.
I've uploaded my slightly modified dark skin for you.
It's hosted on megaupload. I've only changed the background image for some of the title bars and navigation bars.
You need to put in a folder called "mingle-forum-skins" inside the wp-content folder. Create the folder if mingle hasn't created it for you.
Hope it helps.
That's very kind of you. Thank you!
Do you happen to have a darker skin? My website has a black background so I want the skin to have black background too.
In the image folder from the skin, open the images where you want the black background and make them black, save and reupload the skin (make sure to not turn this transparent parts black if you want rounded corners).
You can use MS Paint, Gimp, Photoshop, ... to do it. Should only take a minute or so to do.
Don't know much about Photoshop but I'll try. Thanks.
Site should be back up in a day or two: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/official-site-down?replies=9#post-2109403
Glad to hear that and huge thanks for your work!
Waiting to download the DDart Dream On (Black) skin.
The background is still in white. I thought the skin's background color is dark/black as shown in Google Search's thumbnail.
Is there a real dark skin in black background?
Thank you very much! You've been of great help.
Site still not up huh cartpauj? Was hoping to install the light grey colored skin - seen here - http://rockstarguidebooks.com/final-set-mingle-forum-plugin-wordpress/ - under changing skins. Any chance you could give me a direct link to that download?
Thank you and I hope everything is ok with your site.
I would be very appreciative if you can point me to a skin which would match my site;
I'm not too particular, something which compliments the current colour scheme and isn't too dark.
If need be I can wait for the site to come back up.
Many thanks,
Thanks Cartpauj - that should work just fine. I look forward to your new forum release this summer.
Hi all,
I'm in need of a skin that will match my site. PowerCore Fitness. I'm using the red arras theme.
Some Skins can be found on my Blog
And I work on a Premium Skin, it will be available in various Colors.
This Skin has a modified wpf.class.php
First Version will be ready in the next few Days

I have two functions $f_x$ = $\frac{1}{2}\delta(x-5) + 1/4$ where the 1/4 corresponds to a uniform distribution from 5 to 7. I also have $f_{y|x}$ = $\frac {1}{2}\delta(y-x-4) + 1/4$ which is 1/4 in the range of x+4 to x+6. I am trying to find $f_y$ using the equation: $$ f_y = \int f_x f_{y|x} \,\mathrm dx \>. $$ My question is: How do I find the limits of this integration? I had thought something like integrating from $y-4$ to $y-6$ but that doesn't really seem correct.

@whuber is correct on both counts (and should be given credit for an accepted answer, imho).
In general, to derive a marginal distribution, you integrate the joint distribution over the entire support of the variable you are integrating out. In this case, integrating wrt $x$ over the entire real line gives the correct answer.
Working from first principles: recall how a conditional distribution is defined in terms of a joint distribution:
The marginal distribution of $y$ is given by integrating out $x$ over its entire support (the closure of the set on which $x \ne 0$). You get the same answer if you integrate over the entire real line:

Is it me, or does it seem like C++ asks for more use of the 'if' statement then C#?
I have this codebase and it contains lots of things such as this:
if (strcmp((char*)type,"double")==0)
I wondered isn't it a bit of a 'code smell' when there's just too many if statements?
I'm not saying there bad, but things like string comparisons, with lots of strings involved, can't they be done differently?
Is there an alternative to just writing sequences of if statements?

Authorities say a 12-year-old and a 17-year-old who are accused of starting central Florida brush fires have been arrested.
The two fires weren't related. The first fire burned a quarter-acre of land. The second covered three acres.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said the 12-year-old boy used a lighter to start a Feb. 8 fire in Apopka. Investigators believe the 17-year-old also used a lighter to start a Sanford fire on Feb. 16.

China Unicom Leads Hang Seng Higher
Strong first-quarter results from China Unicom helped boost Hong Kong shares, though many bourses retreated from session highs as investors digested a mixed bag of earnings reports.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 163.42 points, or 0.8%, to 20809.71. China Unicom HK -0.77 % was the best-performing blue chip, rising 4% after it said Wednesday its first-quarter net profit surged nearly seven times from the prior year period because of the rapid growth in its mobile business.
Expectations for improvement helped China Life Insurance LFC 2.86 % gain 1.5% despite a 29% drop in net profit.
Gains for property companies also lent support in Hong Kong. Agile Property Holdings AAPL -0.69 % jumped 2.8% and China Overseas Land & Investment added 2%.
Analysts said they expect the benchmark index to trade in a 20100 to 21000 range, with limited gains because of the uncertainties over the severity of the euro-zone's debt problem and the pace of the U.S.'s economic recovery.
"I believe the market will continue to be very directionless for some time," said Alvin Cheng, associate director of Prudential Brokerage Ltd.
Among other indexes in Asia, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose around 0.01% at 9561.83, and the Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.1% to 2404.70. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index added 0.3% to 4375.20 as trading resumed in Sydney after a break for Anzac Day. India's Sensitive Index declined 0.1% to close at 17130.67.
Gains were pared in many markets as investors considered earnings reports. In Tokyo, camera maker Canon dropped 2.2% despite reporting an 11% increase in its quarterly profit. Index heavyweight Fanuc JP 0.25 % slumped 6.1% after its quarterly results disappointed.
Other Japanese industrial and manufacturing firms also suffered. Kawasaki Heavy Industries KWHIY -1.13 % fell 3.6% and Hitachi Construction Machinery 6305 3.94 % dropped 3.7%.
Another major Nikkei component, Fast Retailing, weighed on the index with a 1.1% decline.
On the downside, Seven West Media, WANHY 0.00 % which owns a television network and other media platforms, plunged 23% in Sydney as investors reacted to its warning that an anticipated improvement in advertising conditions is unlikely in the fourth quarter.
"The developments from the [Fed] meeting are consistent with our view that further asset purchases are unlikely and that Operation Twist [shifting purchases to drive down longer-term interest rates] will not be extended beyond June," strategists at Barclays Capital said.
Peter Lai, director at DBS Vickers in Hong Kong, said comments from Mr. Bernanke that left the door open for more stimulus were giving sentiment in Asia "a little boost, but not too much."

Arts Arachnophobia
There is one downside to the first sunny day after many months of rainy, dark, winter weather—seeing your house in the strong light and realizing you are living in a spider refuge. I strongly believe that spiders are our friends—but I still don't need to live in a Munster house. So instead of spending a lovely sunny day outside, I spent it attempting to regain the upper hand against the arachnids.

The RMMV is an unmanned, autonomous, semi-submersible, high endurance, low-visibility system that will be operated and maintained from LCS. The RMMV is capable of both line-of-sight and over-the-horizon operations. The off-board vehicle has self-contained control, propulsion, power, and navigation features. As many as two RMMVs may be operated from the LCS simultaneously. It is capable of real-time communications of mine reconnaissance sensor data as well as automatic search and recording modes. The host ship will be equipped to conduct data processing, display, and recording, and will communicate tactical mine reconnaissance data to other Naval forces. Fueled for long endurance, the RMMV's diesel marine engine and high-efficiency propulsor will propel the vehicle. The RMMV's coverage search rate can find mines in deep and shallow water with high probability. The RMMV can be pre-programmed to perform autonomously or be manually controlled via a data link.
1. Single Pass Shallow (SPS) Mode - Bottom and moored mine coverage in a single pass
2. Single Pass Deep (SPD) Mode - Moored mine coverage in deep water
3. Volume Mine (VOL) Mode - Volume mine coverage at four times the area search rate
4. Identification (ID SPS) Mode - Bottom and moored mine coverage in a single pass plus optical imaging of bottom mines.
Naval mines pose a significant threat to U.S. and allied shipping, particularly in navigation choke points and transit lanes. The RMS is a key component of the LCS Mine Countermeasures Mission Package. The RMMV, as part of the RMS, will satisfy the U.S. Navy's need for an organic (off-board) surface ship mine reconnaissance capability, designed to conduct rapid reconnaissance of bottom and moored mines from the deep-water region to the very shallow water region, and determine the presence of mines and safe routes or operating areas around potential minefields.
The AN/AQS-20A sonar's computer processing power, advanced signal processing, and portability, reduce the amount of time required to search an area, while significantly increasing search-rate agility. One towed body satisfies the requirements of multiple platforms through common hardware, software, and interfaces; common integrated logistics support; and modular operational configurations. The AN/AQS-20A has been extensively tested and operated from the RMMV and is undergoing evaluation/testing for integration into future unmanned surface vehicles. The AN/AQS-20A has more than 3,000 hours testing at sea with more than 600 hours of testing towed behind the RMMV.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 2001
Running Time:
Director: Eric Edwards
Company: Spunky Spur
Cast: Amber (I), Diamond (I), Chaz Vincent, Loren Sterling, Erica Cane
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Though this video is of the lactation persuasion, its themes of BDSM distract, and don't add much to the milk kink.
The girls do get out a few dribbles of the boob juice, but not enough to satisfy the thirst of those into the sweet stuff and the bondage props and scenarios seems forced.
There is, however, some interesting variety, with the inclusion of Erica Cane's scene; fans of chunkier chicks will dig her, though the milk Dave West squeezes from her nipples is a pittance and her performance as a sub has much to be desired. The final scene, a g/g scenario between Diamond and her pet, Chaz Vincent, works as an S/M scene, but again, not much refreshment comes from Vincent's hooters.

I'm wondering how I'd be able to symlink all the files in a dir structure and then also copy files of a certain extension in that dir. I'm basically symlinking all files within /foo/a,b,c to /bar/a,b,c and then copying over certain files with a certain extensions.
From the /bar directory, to create all symlinks for everything but these extensions.
And then to copy all the extensions, same command for the most part.
Edit: Copy entire directory structure, symlink some files, copy others. Wasn't sure if this was possible at first with a single command, but just learned some other handy tricks with find.
Only important thing to note is when making the symbolic link you give the actual path the links will take to relate to foo/. My example shows relative links when they are side by side (could also make absolute symbolic links as well).

Airline Mergers:
Issues Raised by the Proposed Merger of United and Continental Airlines
GAO-10-778T: Published: May 27, 2010. Publicly Released: May 27, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4431
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Earlier this month, United Air Lines (United) and Continental Airlines (Continental) announced plans to merge the two airlines and signed a merger agreement. This follows the acquisition of Northwest Airlines by Delta Air Lines (Delta) in 2008, which propelled Delta to become the largest airline in the United States. This latest merger, if not challenged by the Department of Justice (DOJ), would surpass Delta's merger in scope to create the largest passenger airline in terms of capacity in the United States. The passenger airline industry has struggled financially over the last decade, and these two airlines believe a merger will strengthen them. However, as with any proposed merger of this magnitude, this one will be carefully examined by DOJ to determine if its potential benefits for consumers outweigh the potential negative effects. At the Committee's request, GAO is providing a statement for the record that describes (1) an overview of the factors that are driving mergers in the industry, (2) the role of federal authorities in reviewing merger proposals, and (3) key issues associated with the proposed merger of United and Continental. To address these objectives, GAO drew from previous reports on the potential effects of the proposed merger between Delta and Northwest and the financial condition of the airline industry, and analyzed Department of Transportation (DOT) airline operating and financial data.
As GAO has previously reported, airlines seek to merge with or acquire other airlines to increase their profitability and financial sustainability, but must weigh these potential benefits against operational costs and challenges. The principal benefits airlines consider are cost reductions--by combining complementary assets, eliminating duplicate activities, and reducing capacity--and increased revenues from higher fares in existing markets and increased demand for more seamless travel to more destinations. Balanced against these potential benefits are operational costs of integrating workforces, aircraft fleets, and systems. DOJ's antitrust review is a critical step in the airline merger and acquisition process. DOJ uses an integrated analytical framework set forth in the Horizontal Merger Guidelines to determine whether the merger poses any antitrust concerns. Under that process, DOJ assesses the extent of likely anticompetitive effects of reducing competition in the relevant markets--in this case, between cities or airports. DOJ further considers the likelihood that airlines entering these markets would counteract any anticompetitive effects. It also considers any efficiencies that a merger or acquisition could bring--for example, consumer benefits from an expanded route network. Finally, it examines whether one of the airlines proposing to merge would fail and its assets exit the market in the absence of a merger. One of the most important issues in this merger will be its effect on competition in the airline industry. For example, GAO's analysis of 2009 ticket data showed that combining these airlines would result in a loss of one effective competitor (defined as having at least 5 percent of total traffic between airports) in 1,135 markets (called airport pairs) affecting almost 35 million passengers while creating a new effective competitor in 173 airport pairs affecting almost 9.5 million passengers. However, in all but 10 of these airports pairs there is at least one other competitor.

1. Corruption, in many different forms, is now so commonplace that it distorts our everyday lives. Many things that we have previously taken for granted – that we can trust authority figures, that factual evidence it will be acted upon and that where change is necessary it will be implemented – must now be fought for. Tackling corruption is not easy, because as it becomes more prevalent, its beneficiaries become more widespread and inevitably influential.
2. Red Flag Anti-Corruption believes that corruption in the form of bribery is an tax on economic, social and cultural activity; that in the form of maladministration is grotesque incompetence, and in the form of failure to implement the law for unknown or unstated reason is simple criminality. It may be wise to start the fightback by focusing on what we know, what we recognise under our noses and in our backyards as unacceptable bad and corrupt practice.
3. The Party stands firmly against corruption within the political system. Financial corruption is a major issue, within central government, local authorities and other public agencies. These organisations have massive direct spending powers and legal powers, e.g. planning affecting property development; investigative powers sometimes affecting basic human rights.
4. We know from the appalling child abuse cases across the country that the Establishment has an astonishing capacity to cover-up the most utterly appalling crimes and continue to do so with apparent immunity despite intense media scrutiny.
5. Red Flag - Anti-Corruption started in Tower Hamlets, in London's East End because the problems of electoral corruption were so widespread that an Election Petition had to be launched by 4 voters in June 2014, which resulted in the mayor Lurfur Rahman and a councillor being banned from office from 5 years and a new election. Major police and government investigations and reforms followed.
6. All the major political parties have let the people down. They are not accountable and do not generally listen to the people. Red Flag will seek new ways to consult and involve people - extending democracy. Now is the time for change.
7. Austerity? The present financial crisis is being used to cut back on social provision and the role of the state. The crisis was caused by massively expensive foreign wars which achieved nothing apart from making Britain a terrorist target and disrupting lives in other countries. Cuts reduce confidence and economic activity. New ways must be found to make the economy serve the people and promote equality, harmony and progress.
8. Locally in Tower Hamlets there have been many divisions and fractures in communities as a direct result of corruption and divisive policies. This has taken the form of false promises, fraud, abuse of resources.
9. The service from the police has been affected. Poor service and corruption leads to public alienation from the police and isolation of the police There is a strong need to invest in greater public scrutiny and accountability.
10. Nationally, the signs of the crisis are easy to see. The question is: what is to be done?
11. Things will only change when people come together and demand that everything changes. Red Flag is a vehicle for change and it aims at the widespread participation of people brought together by a common aim - high quality public administration and change.

Right-hander Brett Marshall knew something was wrong with the middle finger of his pitching hand as soon as he let go of a slider in the fourth inning of his last spring start.
"I was like, 'what heck was that?'" he said. "It hurt pretty bad. It almost felt like I broke my finger. I looked down and it was fine. I could move it. It almost felt like a jammed finger, where you catch a football wrong. That's what it felt like.
"I finished the fourth and fifth innings. But it didn't feel too good to throw the curveball and slider. I said something to the trainer. We did the MRI and sure enough it was a torn pulley tendon."
Marshall did not have surgery, but he won't be able to throw for two to three weeks. He started the season on the 60-day disabled list. It was a very tough break for him. He had won the fifth starter spot in Mat Latos' absence and would have started on the big league roster for the first time.
"It was definitely tough to take," he said. "I got told I was probably going to be the fifth starter. I was kind of amped up and then that happened. I felt really good that day. My arm felt really good. My whole body felt good.
"Then something strange like that happens."
The injury is rare among baseball players.
"They said the injury is very common in rock climbing because they put a lot of pressure on their grips," he said. "I put a lot of pressure on my slider. I guess held it wrong and it came out wrong."
Marshall, 23, was the last player the Reds picked up before spring. They picked him up off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. He was impressive in the spring until that last start. He was 3-0 with a 2.07 ERA going into that start.
ROTATION PLAN: If Thursday's game had been rained out, Homer Bailey would have been pushed back and started Friday.
Weather could be a factor Friday in New York as well.
"We've got things to look at because it looks like we might actually have some weather issues in New York," Price said. "There could be some things we could do to juggle things around. At this point, we're not planning on any changes.
"That being said, we don't want our regular guys pitching on six days' rest. We'll try to avoid that all costs."
That would likely mean skipping Alfredo Simon to keep the others on turn.
LUDWICK OK: Ryan Ludwick was OK after getting hit on the left hand by a 93 mph fastball last night. Chris Heisey was in the lineup in left field Thursday.
"(Ludwick's) fine," Price said. "It's a non-issue. We're just trying to keep some of these other guys fresh. Get Tucker (Barnhart) in there. Give Brayan (Pena) a day. Get Heisey in there. He had a terrific spring. This was the intention before Ludwick got hit. He smoked that ball in the ninth to get us going."
Not that Ludwick's hit-by-pitch wasn't scary.
"All things considered, the first hitter in the opener Johnny (Cueto's) takes one off his wrist," Price said. "The second game, Luddy takes one off the hand. 'How bullets do we have to dodge here in the early going?'"
HAMILTON PLAYS IN: The Reds are playing a lot of attention to positioning players on defense. For center fielder Billy Hamilton, that means playing very shallow against certain hitters.
"We encourage him to play a bit more shallow," Price said. "That ball that (Kolten) Wong hit is over his head unless he's playing way back by the warning track. He hit that really hard. It was a low line drive. There's no way to make up ground on that ball.
"He's going to take away a lot of the balls in front of him. He's going to throw more guys out or at least have a chance to. He's got a good arm. And he goes back on the ball extremely well for a young guy who hasn't been in center field that long."
Hamilton's positioning is specific to Great American.
"This is small ballpark," Price said. "That will change in Colorado."
Great American has played like a big park the first two games.
"You know how it is here," Price said. "You can crush the ball and doesn't go anywhere. The thing you get a little bit concerned with these late night games in the heavy air is trying win the game with a homer. I think that happens sometimes in those extra-inning situations. The best thing that happened to us yesterday was the leadoff hit by (Ryan) Ludwick."

When to create an ADFS-enabled Web server farm
Updated: December 15, 2006
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2
You create an Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)-enabled Web server farm when you want to balance the load of incoming federated access requests that are made to one or more protected applications. The obvious benefits that can be obtained from a Web server farm are fault tolerance for the hosted applications and a possible increase in client-side browser performance. To client computers, the Web server farm performs like a single Web server servicing a highly scalable federated application.
If you are thinking about creating a Web server farm solely to increase performance, consider whether it might be better to optimize the hardware or software performance of a single Web server before adding the additional costs and administrative overhead that are associated with synchronizing data between two or more Web servers. For more information about how to measure whether your ADFS-enabled Web server is performing optimally, see Planning for ADFS-enabled Web server capacity.
You can use a network load-balancing service, such as the Microsoft Network Load Balancing (NLB) service that is included in Windows Server 2003 operating systems, to create and manage your ADFS-enabled Web server farm. The number of Web servers that is required to support your federated applications is determined largely by the type and complexity of the applications and their client connection state (stateless as opposed to stateful) requirements.
Guidelines for creating server farms for federated applications using NLB are similar to the guidelines for creating server farms for nonfederated Web applications running on Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. For more information about using nonfederated Web applications with NLB, see Identifying Applications That Benefit from NLB (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74610).
When they are used together, the recommendations in the NLB deployment documentation and in the topic Planning for ADFS-enabled Web server capacity should provide sufficient data for you to determine whether your federated applications can benefit from the improved scalability and availability that an ADFS-enabled Web server farm environment provides.
Configuring servers in the farm
Creating an ADFS-enabled Web server farm involves more than just placing the Web servers in a resource partner organization and then configuring NLB clustering. The following table provides additional guidance for identically configuring each of the ADFS-enabled Web servers in a farm.
|To configure the …
|To …
|See …
Claims-aware Web Agent in the web.config file for the protected application
Point to the same Federation Service Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for each ADFS-enabled Web server in the farm
Set the Federation Service URL for a claims-aware application
Windows NT token–based Web Agent in the properties of the Web Sites folder in IIS 6.0
Point to the same Federation Service URL for each ADFS-enabled Web server in the farm
Set the Federation Service URL for a Windows NT token-based application
Server authentication certificate
Export the private key so that the same server authentication certificate can be assigned to each ADFS-enabled Web server in the farm
Most certificates that are issued by certification authorities (CA)s can be used on multiple computers without first exporting them. If this is the case in your scenario, you do not have to perform this procedure.
Export the private key portion of a server authentication certificate
Server authentication certificate
Install on the appropriate Web site or virtual directory where your federated application will reside
(For an example of how to do this using the default Web site, see the following link.)
Import a server authentication certificate to the default Web site

There were several very good questions asked in Orlando. Two have been sticking in my mind as very valuable to DREw; with gratitiude to the attendees, I'll paraphrase:

Could Production defects be given more weight than test? and What about the concept that defects found later in the SDLC are more costly to fix?

The technique for reweighting defect severities at differing SDLC stages (including Production) would be rather simple and could be automated, even though the long-held maxim that defects found later are more costly is being challenged by more agile SDLCs which embrace change. As mentioned before in other forae, my goal is to find/have/share a method for associating defects with reasonable, supported, dollar values. These questions are steps along that journey.

A longer step in that direction is to leverage the idea of iteratively delivering business value. If the business value of a usage scenario were a basis for its delivery prioritization, and if Walker Royce's description (in EXEC02 at RSC2009) of business value as a function of ROI, ROA, and Product Revenue Profile holds, then we are close to formulating a definition for defect value in terms of business dollars (as a function of degree for deliverable business value). Perfect? Not in any sense, but defined, consistent, and supported by the prior decisions of our business stakeholders themselves.

Join in my reverie: Imagine a day when the business representative gives us a use case, the business leadership assigns a dollar value to the basic flow for that use case and a relative value to each scenario, the software delivery team produces and tests the highest priority scenario, finding one defect (of any severity). The benefit of assigning dollar values would lie not in deciding which defects to attack (for the emphasis should be on delivering value, not eliminating defects) but in deciding which defects to study for defect prevention in the next iteration/evolution. We could measure, for each evolution of a product, the change (we would hope, "improvement") in delivered versus delayed value, perhaps developing a new metric for software which approximates the meaning (not method) of Taguchi's loss function. When we add common existing methods for tracking project costs, we could offer true insight into practical questions. Imagine being able to quantify, in dollars, how much a practice, say pair programming, improved delivery of business value relative to its cost over a prior method!

The VMware Knowledge Base provides support solutions, error messages and troubleshooting guides
Increasing the default value that defines the maximum number of NFS mounts on an ESXi/ESX host (2239)
This article provides information on:
- Configuring NFS TCP and NFS HEAP settings
- Identifying appropriate settings for
Note: vSphere 6.0 has increased the maximum heap size and added support for the NFS 4.1 protocol. There are some differences between NFS3 and NFS4.1 support in vSphere 6.0. For more information, see the Understanding Network File System Datastores section of vSphere 6.0 Storage.
To edit advanced configuration options, select the ESXi/ESX host in the Inventory Panel, then navigate to Configuration > Software > Advanced Settings to launch the Settings window.
Set these values:
- Under NFS, Select NFS.MaxVolumes: Limits the number of NFS datastores which can be mounted by the vSphere ESXi/ESX host concurrently. The default value is 8, and can be increased to a maximum specific to the version of ESXi/ESX:
- ESXi/ESX 3.x: Set NFS.MaxVolumes to 32
- ESXi/ESX 4.x: Set NFS.MaxVolumes to 64
- ESXi 5.0/5.1/5.5: Set NFS.MaxVolumes to 256
- ESXi 6.0: Set NFS.MaxVolumes to 256
- Under Net, Select Net.TcpipHeapSize: The amount of heap memory, measured in megabytes, which is allocated for managing VMkernel TCP/IP network connectivity. When increasing the number of NFS datastores, increase the default amount of heap memory as well:
- ESXi/ESX 3.x: Set Net.TcpipHeapSize to 30
- ESXi/ESX 4.x: Set Net.TcpipHeapSize to 32
- ESXi 5.0/5.1/5.5: Set Net.TcpipHeapSize to 32
- ESXi 6.0: Set Net.TcpipHeapSize to 32
- Under Net, Select Net.TcpipHeapMax: The maximum amount of heap memory, measured in megabytes, which can be allocated for managing VMkernel TCP/IP network connectivity. When increasing the number of NFS datastores, increase the maximum amount of heap memory as well, up to the maximum specific to the version of ESXi/ESX host:
- ESXi/ESX 3.x : Set Net.TcpipHeapMax to 120
- ESXi/ESX 4.x: Set Net.TcpipHeapMax to 128
- ESXi 5.0/5.1: Set Net.TcpipHeapMax to 128
- ESXi 5.5: Set Net.TcpipHeapMax to 512
- ESXi 6.0: Set Net.TcpipHeapMax to 1536
- These settings enable the maximum number of NFS mounts for vSphere ESXi/ESX.
- Changing Net.TcpipHeapSize and/or Net.TcpipHeapMax requires a host reboot for the changes to take effect.
Modify the three advanced configuration options using the vSphere Client or other method. For a full list of methods, see Configuring advanced options for ESX/ESXi (1038578).

Give God the Glory
Life is full of surprises. The joy and happiness, successes and accomplishments offer constant reminders of vows voluntarily taken at my Ordination and Consecration. For those compelling vows, I thank God. None of my struggles, illnesses, disappointments and faith challenges leaves me with anger, regret or bitterness. Would I change the path of my ministerial journey? Nay! I would do it again the same way! To God be the Glory!
A Plea for Unity
Paul's plea for unity in the church flows from his understanding of God's call upon his life. Hence, he writes "Live your life according to God's call." This is the clarion call of a man of faith who understands the problems diverse groups of people face living in Ephesus. Yet Paul places the highest priority on behavior God expects of God's people 24/7, even when our issues are not fully addressed. For Paul, loving God and loving the neighbor stand as God's non-negotiable.
Statement on shootings in Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Dallas
By now, you have heard reports of several shootings involving citizens and police in Baton Rouge, La.; St. Paul, Minn. and most recently, Dallas, Texas. Shooting deaths, families heartbroken, television coverage, suspects killed, fingers pointed, demonstrations and prayers prayed to Almighty God have challenged the church and the world to find a better way.
Living a Life in Balance
Clergy Assistance Program Blog
"It's easier to balance a simpler life," says Odette Pollar. "For a life worth living, eliminate the unimportant, whether it be relationships, tasks, responsibilities, possessions or beliefs."
Loneliness, Friendships and Mental Health
Research shows that friends are important to our physical and mental health. "... people who do not have strong support from friends and family live shorter lives and suffer more from stress," says Cheryl A. Richey, Ph.D., professor of social work at the University of Washington. "Support from friends can give people the strength to make positive changes in their lives, like staying away from drugs or leaving an abusive relationship."
The Power of Our Thoughts
We made it through Annual Conference! Thank you to those of you who stopped by the PCC display table and picked up information on the available services and resources through Pastoral Care and Counseling or through the Clergy Assistance Program.
Thoughts are not facts...don't believe everything you think
Did you know that the average person has 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day? The difficulty isn't that we have negative thoughts but rather we often believe that our thoughts are true.
Looking Back
Four years ago, we arrived dead tired. Moving from the capital city of Michigan to the capital city of Illinois was a challenge. Packing the house, leaving our two daughters behind, saying goodbye to the good folks in Michigan, embracing our new leadership role in IGRC, moving in the Springfield residence etc. left our energy reserves virtually depleted. Once again, we obeyed the call trumpeted anew in the theme of the 2016 General Conference, "Therefore Go."
Get Up
Healing stories in Mark's gospel are not fictive. They are real, not imagined. A man asks Jesus to heal his daughter. She dies, but our Lord raises her up. Without permission, a woman hemorrhaging for twelve years touches the hem of his garment and receives healing instantly. She is no longer the same.
The Fields Are Ripe For The Harvest
Now that it's just about time for me and my beloved Beverly to say goodbye, I want to talk about "the fields are ripe for harvest. It's a subplot buried within a famous Bible story of the woman at the well.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sales of existing U.S. homes plummeted in January to the worst pace in 18 months. Cold weather, limited supplies of homes on the market and higher buying costs held back purchases.
The National Association of Realtors says sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62 million units last month. That was down 5.1 percent from the December pace. The sales rate declined 5.1 percent over the previous 12 months. Higher mortgage rates and higher prices have contributed to a slowdown in home buying in five of the past six months.
The median home price has risen 10.7 percent to $188,900 since January 2013. The flagging sales suggest a deceleration from the momentum for much of 2013, when 5.09 million homes were sold, the most in seven years.

The accuracy of consumer health gadgets varies widely, yet this hasn't stopped the FDA from suspending popular genetic testing company 23andMe over concerns about the quality of their… Read More

Dear FDA, Gimme My iMac
Today was supposed to be a joyous day in my apartment. As of yesterday, my new Apple iMac was to be delivered at some point this afternoon. But alas, it was not to be. But the reason why is a truly great WTF moment. Apparently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has to approve its delivery to me.

If you're watching your waistline, don't forget to count what you drink.
When it comes to counting calories, nutrition experts say beverages are often ignored.
About 20 to 22 percent of calories of the average American, be it a pre-schooler, or a child or an adult, come from caloric beverages.
Professor Barry Popkin explains the added sugar in sodas, juice and sweeteners used in coffee and tea can result in weight gain.
"Today, we consume about on a daily average, an extra 220 calories a day in caloric beverages over what we consumed in the '60s. Every extra 10, 12 calories a day leads to a pound a year."
Popkin says popular drinks such as vitamin water and smoothies can also add to the calorie count.
"The benefits are marginal and costs in terms of...that's a whole lunch or dinner in some of these smoothies."
So what should you drink? The bottom line is, drink water, drink unsweetened tea and coffee, if you're an adult, if you're a child or an adult, if you want to drink milk, which children certainly need and all Americans can use, drink skim milk or one percent milk.
Ignoring liquid calories could be costly for your diet.
