"Hmmmm....fact is John wanted Theo SOLD months ago"
Provide evidence of that then, Knob Jockey?
Cos I can swear that this is John saying exactly the same thing as he has above:
As usual, Pixie mugs himself off in a desperate attempt to get back at those who have wounded him so badly!
Been down Heaven lately?

Ha ha Pixie blinded by his obsession of trying to discredit anything I say, yet showing himself up again?
I did say that I did not think Walcott was worth his wage demand, but that he should be given the opportunity to prove himself as a striker. I reckon Henry might teach him a thing or two this winter.
I hope he comes good. He's English and i think we will benefit from an English core of players again.
FO rikki you clown. nobody believes or gives a sh.t. about you or what you have to say. Sirry Plick.!!

So let me guess, when say, Russia, or China, is know to have discovered a vulnerability and using it in the wild, they burn the bridge by "being nice" publicly?

I thought hydroelectricity was not considered clean by the USA, creating a weird situation with Quebec's overproduction exports (among others maybe)...
Those who did specialize in computer science early on, after high school let's say, tend to not understand physics / chemistry / biology / etc. as well, and it shows.
That doesn't mean they are anti-science / anti-global-warming or anything like that, just that the rest depends more on ambiant politic than critical use of scientific knowledge when shown scientific studies...
What they really want is white box cryptography, but it seems computationally impractical right now.
Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... did this and was broken!
You do need HTTPS to protect mundane content: Saying otherwise is very short sighted...
You might not care about the content, but the way someone, somewhere, is accessing it, does offer a lot of "value".
It can allow a watchful eye to either accuse the reader of being outside the norm, criminal, not respectful and whatnot (reason why librarians fought hard for the right to lend books without giving the list to the state!) or allow them to caracterise, profile, target a person over time for many different reasons.
Thus everyone should have the to right to read anonymously and willingly.
Witholding this right from others is being complicit with opressors.
Encryption has a cost, it isn't free. It increases CPU utilisation and power consumption. It interferes with caching and reduces network efficiency.
This is a dumb idea. A very dumb idea.
By FOSS do they mean dump the source after release... like Android?
I don't think that's the spirit, even though the licence says so.
Meta godwin aside, I wish a major (market wise) fork would exist with grsecurity merged in by default, for example...
I don't even understand why china, of all places, is not 100% Linux wall to wall already...
OnlyCoin - was a weird idea anyway, throw away batteries piss me off!
Also, Canada has been using chips for a few years, with both debit and credit being seperate (to answer some comments about the "rest of the world").
Will it be closed like Bittorrent-sync?
Someone can't set their date properly?
Don't forget about the first internet search engine... not web
The more people will use it, the less this argument makes any sense...
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.

More on Synopsys (SNPS): FQ2 comes in mixed , beating on revenue but coming up shy on a per share basis. Net earnings plummeted 74% Y/Y on acquisition-related charges, masking actual revenue growth. The company is raising its FY12 guidance based on the robustness of its business base and the rapid integration of its Magma Design Automation acquisition earlier this year. It now expects FY earnings of $2.03 - $2.07 per share on revenue of $1.74B - $1.76B.

BOSTON (AP) — A new study by the National Urban League Policy Institute says the economic downturn has erased the gains made by the black middle class over the last 30 years.
The study released today says that the unemployment rate for blacks with a four-year college degree has tripled from 1992 and that overall black unemployment levels are nearing 1982 levels when it was close to 20 percent.
The report, released just as the National Urban League begins its annual conference in Boston, mirrors similar studies by the Economic Policy Institute and the Pew Research Center that says the economic meltdown in recent years has hit black households hard.
The National Urban League Policy Institute used U.S. Census and U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics for the study.
Hey dodge2002, did you read the article? Part of it states that the rate of unemployment for those with 4 year college degrees has tripled. How is going to college not helping yourself? Times are tough and many educated people are looking for work. Maybe you need to get a grip and get out of dodge!
Dodge2002, That was a dumb statement. Read the article again. "The study released today says that the unemployment rate for blacks with a four-year college degree has tripled from 1992......" Why is it that you feel black people are not trying to help them selves? A four year degree is a sign of persons will to do better, no matter what color they are. And in your racist eyes, America is in the state its in because of Obama..... FYI, our President (yours and mine) is not just a "Brother"(By the way Black people don't like this term any more.....)
The recession started under Bush so having a discussion about how it is Obama's fault unemployment is high in the black community is as useful as chewing bubblegum to solve an algebra equation.
Urban league call the white house tell Obama to share the wealth and see if hes willing to give you a buck out of his pocket instead of the people who create jobs and build businesses to improve economies. Why doesn't the urban league conduct a study on the amount of fraud in govt. assistance programs?
Obama has put us in a deeper hole and spent more money doing it than all the Bush years. You libs are unbelievable.
because of all the interacial children born,
the minority in this country is
are you tired of being oppressed.
A four year degree in art, general studies, creative writing, or general business isn't worth much. Those are a few for a start.
If you are going to put yourself in that kind of debt you better major in something that will assure you skills to get a job with livable wages.
lol carlstaatz
The White Middle Class is right there with you Black Middle Class!
FrontrowJoe, I wish they would conduct a study on the amount of fraud in govt. assistance programs.... I think it my be some vindication for the "Brothers" I could be wrong but it seems as if you are insinuating that Black people are the only ones who are committing fraud. When in fact, its more caucasian people on the system then any other race.....

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: Jul 01st, 1997
Running Time: 124
Director: Seymore Butts
Company: Seymore Butts' Home Movies
Distribution Companies: Ultimate
Cast: Kelly Jean, Mark Davis, Cortknee, Tatiana (I), Letha Weapons, Devin Deray, Ron Jeremy, Tom Byron, Kim Cummings
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Four half-hour scenes, mostly shot in tight close-up by walking, talking camera guy Seymore Butts. The opener is the hottest, with Tatiana riding Seymore's electric vibrating dick machine and quivering to a screaming orgasm before turning her attentions to Tom Byron. Seymore holds tight on Tatiana's expressive face. Even after she says to Byron, "I love watching you fuck me," and turns to look Seymore doesn't waver. He watches her watching. For his part, Byron delivers a pretty impressive pop of his own, rolling his eyes back in his head before saying, "That was not altogether unpleasant." Tatiana shoots back, "Where's the machine?"
The next two scenes are also very good, with Byron back for a go-round with buxom Devin Deray, then Mark Davis double-teamed by Cortknee and the awesomely artificially-enhanced Letha Weapons. In his only mis-step, Seymore ends the tape with a weak Ron Jeremy segment, which makes for a slow finish.
Overall, the tape is well-directed and well-lensed, with Butts' hand-held camera never missing the shot. Editing is also above average.

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
Publishing | Vox takes a lengthy look at the effects of DC Comics' efforts to diversify, in terms of characters, titles and creators. The article, which includes interviews with Marguerite Bennett, Genevieve Valentine, Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, notes that while new titles like DC Comics Bombshells have been successful, others launched under the "DC You" umbrella – Black Canary and Midnighter, for instance — are on far shakier ground, sales-wise. However, Co-Publisher Lee suggests the company is standing behind the initiative: "I think it's important for us to listen and to learn and basically to adjust and pivot. There is this emerging audience. Comics are changing. At the end of the day, if you're going to remain competitive and grow and flourish, you have to be able to adapt and change and evolve." [Vox.com]
If you're a fan of both Sex Criminals and The Wicked + The Divine, you're in luck: USA Today has unveiled Chip Zdarsky's alternate cover for the second issue of the new Image Comics series … featuring creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie.
Debuting this week to positive reviews, The Wicked + The Divine centers on 12 gods who are reborn every 90 years as the ultimate pop stars.
Following their debut this afternoon at ComicsAlliance, Jamie McKelvie is offering limited-edition giclee prints of the covers for the first issue of The Wicked & the Divine, his upcoming Image Comics series with Phonogram and Young Avengers collaborator Kieron Gillen.
Announced last month at Image Expo, the comic tells the story of gods reincarnated every 90 years into bodies and roam the Earth as pop stars and artists for two brief years, followed and adored by some and hated by others. The Wicked and the Divine premieres in June.

Wow! Well it shouldn't matter who you date as long as you are over 18. You have to be legal
dane is only 16yrs older than Juliane Hough. Age is ONLY A NUMBER. He could have dated or be dating her. It doesnt matter, she is NOT TO YOUNG for him. I've got a guy that is 18yrs older than me that ive considered dating. Their both adults and only they can decide if SHE thinks he's too old for her. Stop trying to say she is too young, its her choice, not anyone else to make. Who cares if she dated or is dating him.
He is so funny. I though that he was married.
who is Dane Cook dating now?
he is maybe dating Jenna Wade now.
he is so cool in dan in real life.
Dane is NOT dating Julianne, they`re just friends! He`s WAY too old for her.
Dane is not in a secret marriage to Raquel Houghton. That is just hilarious. He is dating Juliane Hough now.
Dane is NOT dating Julianne, they`re just friends.
Hey, how can Dane be dating Raquel AND Julianne at the same time?? I don`t think he`s dating Julianne, she`s way too young for him.

Everyone has probably had a bit of road rage from time to time.
Maybe someone cut you off, ran a red light or merged into your lane a little too close to you.
So what do you do? Flip them the bird? Maybe honk your horn or tailgate? Probably.
But we're pretty sure that you've never taken it as far as this woman did.

We've all been stuck behind someone who drives slow in the left lane. And yes, it's very frustrating.
Maybe you've even flipped them off when you finally passed them. Probably felt pretty good, didn't it?
Well, that good feeling was short lived for at least one road-raged driver.

Enjoy the 4th of July and avoid getting in to any unnecessary altercations.

Love the app but I love the app but, sometimes it shows green and their not online. And I have a long contacts list, is it possible to develop something that distinguishes those who are online and those who are offline so I don't have to scroll through 30 names before I find those who are actually online? And there are those who haven't been in months but they are still popping up, deactivate those accounts....
No blocking option - No busy butten Imo is a great app for vid calling. But some minor features that every messenger app should have isnt there. Imo has no Busy/Not available button and also no block option. That's why anyone can spam your phone with a lot of vid/audio call. You can't stop it until disconnect internet. I think imo developer should put those feature in next update. THEN i will give 5🌞
I know u are happy the way u tricked people forcing them to invite friends And this will send message to all contacts. only person who knew about it already will not fall for ur trick. But u didn't give anyone credit to send those messages. Am in imo already but I kept receiving message from different people inviting me to join imo.
Its awesome and low data loading program Imo is fast and easy to chat and video call. It takes low data connection to communicate. And also sending photo is the fastest one. Only one problem when you add photo it comes all photo so you need time to find right photo. It can be better if we can see folder by folder photo.

Heat plant conflict cools off with city's promise
MONTPELIER After negotiations that representatives of both the city and state acknowledged were challenging, the city has agreed to contribute $408,000 toward the $3.3 million projected cost overrun for the $20 million wood chip heating plant that will serve both the state office complex and downtown Montpelier.
The good news is that there is no immediate budget impact to the city moving forwards, said City Manager William Fraser. It was somewhat frustrating, but in the end we reached a fair way of dealing with the problem. Anything can happen with a construction project.
The state had sought more than $600,000 toward the cost overrun. The city refused to pay, arguing that it was the states responsibility to budget, design, construct and operate the plant, with the city being responsible solely for the distribution system.
The $408,000 the city finally agreed to contribute represents the cost of the thermal conversion unit, known as the city room.
The money to pay the bill will be generated in two ways. Should there be leftover money in the budget at the end of the project, the city will pay at least 50 percent of the surplus toward the bill. Any remaining unpaid balance will come out of revenues generated by future profits from the plant.
The project ran into problems after initial estimates for its cost shot up after the state budget process. It has been lauded as an example of how federal, state and local governments can work together to both promote clean energy and reduce heating costs.
One of the things that I am learning is that each project that we undertake has never been done before, said state Buildings and General Services Commissioner Michael Obuchowski. You can bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies, but each one has its own shape and form. These construction projects each have their own shape and form.
At issue, said Obuchowski, is how and when the Legislature is given figures for a projects cost. These projects go through several stages, and we want to be able to give the Legislature figures that they can rely on but not necessarily take to the bank.
To lessen the kind of sticker shock engendered by the kind of overruns being seen in the wood chip plant project, Obuchowski suggested that perhaps investing earlier in cost analysis up front might help develop better numbers during the planning stage. As a project develops we need to identify a place along the continuum where we give the Legislature a number, and maybe thats later in the process.
Among the items that contributed to the wood chip plant overruns were the $408,000 for the heat conversion room, $550,000 for using the present heating building instead of replacing it, and $316,000 for anchors to prevent the heating facility from floating in the event of a flood.
The city will begin construction of the distribution system April 17, and Obuchowski said the state intends to begin in early June. Plans for the plant to be up and running by Oct. 1 have already been set aside, with acknowledgment that it will be later in the fall before the plant comes fully on line.
Were ready to go, and were hoping the state is going to be standing right next to us, said Fraser. This is an important partnership between the city and state.
Weve got our fingers and toes crossed that things are going to go fine from here on out, Obuchowski said.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

'Shut Up & Sing'
(PATRIOTISM) When Dixie Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines took the stage of Shepherds Bush Empire in London three years ago and told an audibly sympathetic audience that she was ashamed that Dubya was from the band's home state of Texas, not even the most pessimistic liberal could have anticipated the fallout. Initially apologetic and bewildered, the Chicks' journey from meek-voiced penitents to defiant and articulate free-speech advocates, as chronicled in this documentary, is nothing short of inspiring. Furthermore, watching Maines call Bush a "dumb fuck" is damn satisfying. (See Movie Times, p. 84, for details.) HANNAH LEVIN

This new edition of a well-known book deals with physical education for the handicapped and for those with special health problems, preventive exercises, and adaptation of regular class work to meet the needs of children with transient or persistent physical handicaps. The volume is intended for use in orienting undergraduate and graduate physical education students in the corrective and adaptive phases of their work. Every school has its share of pupils with special physical problems. When modified physical education is available, this program can be helpful, in many instances, in rehabilitating pupils with remediable problems. It can also assist in helping those with irremediable problems to learn to live effectively with their handicaps. It is emphasized that in both situations the nature and extent of activity must be medically determined. In this framework, the authors visualize the physical educator as the skilled technician carrying out the exercise prescription.

About Nick Tosches
Born in Newark, NJ, and raised by a Jersey City bar owner, Nick Tosches would begin his writing career in the '60s and '70s as part of that holy triumvirate of rock critics, including Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer, who seem to be accused of creating the trade. (The three in fact, worked together at Creem magazine.) Bangs died in 1982 and went on to posthumous fame as the ultimate rock critic personality (no doubt bolstered by his appearance as a character in the movie Almost Famous, Cameron Crowe's love letter to rock journalism, and Jim DeRogatis' hyper-reverent Bangs biography, Let It Blurt). Meltzer became a cultish iconoclast. However, Tosches broke out of rock to become a serious writer -- an unfulfilled aspiration of both Bangs and Meltzer (who has published novels, but is still primarily known as a rock writer). Among other things, Tosches has penned the acclaimed biographies The Devil and Sonny Liston, Dino, Power on Earth, and Hellfire, and has become a contributing editor of Vanity Fair. The Nick Tosches Reader collects 30 years of his writings, only a portion of which is rock criticism. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi

I am looking for a way to use robocopy to rotate log files. Currently I have a batch file using robocopy to copy files and log the results to a specified folder location. What I would like to do is keep 7 days and on the 8th day drop one off. Is this possible or should I create another batch file to do this and call it from the original batch file?
If you are using a batch file, then it can delete older files in the log-files directory.
Here are two references:
ForFiles - delete old files, etc.
batch file to delete files older than a specified date
You could use the following script:
What about syncing all files older than 30 days with an empty folder? I have used this with the purge command to delete with some success.
This example just delete all items from the target folder. With a little editing, it would do it based on a date.
You could do something like this. Bit ugly, but it works. No real reason to use robocopy, as opposed to just a straight copy. This assumes your logfile is in a standard place, of course.

Jailed Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouti will not run in upcoming presidential elections, throwing his support instead behind Mahmoud Abbas, the candidate of the ruling Fatah party, Palestinian officials said.
Barghouti, 45, an extremely popular member of the young guard of Fatah, had told associated he planned to challenge Abbas, 69, in the election to succeed Yasser Arafat, who died Nov. 11.
Palestinian Cabinet Minister Kadoura Fares traveled to an Israeli jail in the city of Beersheba on Friday to meet with Barghouti armed with an appeal from Abbas to abandon his campaign.
Fares told a news conference Friday evening that Barghouti appreciated Abbas' gestures, including a promise to hold long-overdue elections in Fatah next year, and would support his candidacy.
"After a meeting of four hours, during which we debated this issue, Marwan Barghouti sends this message to the Palestinian people and its fighters ... He calls on the members of the movement to support the movement's candidate, Mahmoud Abbas," Fares said.
While the two men met, word came that Fatah had set Aug. 4, 2005, as the date for an internal election.
The young leaders of Fatah have complained that they have been frozen out of the top leadership positions in the party by older officials scared of losing power. Fatah has not held a general conference to elect a new leadership since a 1989 gathering in Algeria.
But the Fatah Revolutionary Council decided Friday to hold a general conference Aug. 4, Yasser Arafat's birthday, to elect new party leaders, according to Amin Maqboul, a senior Fatah official.
The elections should have been held every five years. The party conference will probably be held abroad to allow Fatah officials in Lebanon, Jordan and other countries to participate, Maqboul said.
Maqboul said the general conference "will give the new young generation a better role to play in the leadership."
Israel, meanwhile, agreed to remove all roadblocks in the West Bank on Jan. 9, the day of the presidential election, according to security officials speaking on condition of anonymity. Israel has said it will do its utmost to ensure that voting goes smoothly.
Barghouti is serving five life terms in an Israeli jail after being convicted of murder. Israel says Barghouti, 45, was involved in attacks that killed four Israelis and a Greek monk. Barghouti has denied involvement.
His supporters have said they are counting on international pressure on Israel to free him. Israel's leaders insist Barghouti will remain in prison.

Small Amounts of Alcohol Slightly Increases Risk of Low Blood Sugar in Certain Diabetics
"The absolute decline in blood sugar was greater in the patients who got the alcohol" than in those who were given placebo, Burge says. "These results indicate that a little bit of alcohol may increase your risk of hypoglycemia if you are on sulfonylurea drugs and haven't eaten."
There has been increased interest over the past few years about the potential health benefits of moderate intakes of alcohol. One large study showed an impressive decrease in the risk of cardiovascular death and overall mortality associated with alcohol intake among patients with type 2 diabetes. An interesting finding in this study is that the alcohol intake appears to reduce fatty acid concentrations in the bloodstreams of the subjects.
Fatty acids play a critical role in affecting the balance of glucose in the bloodstream during alcohol ingestion, says Burge, but the state of knowledge isn't sufficient yet to recommend or not recommend the moderate use of alcohol by diabetic patients, he tells WebMD.
Another expert, George Dailey, MD, who provides an objective assessment of the study for WebMD, says, "This study validates what we have known for a long time -- that even one or two drinks without eating could put you at a slightly increased risk for hypoglycemia, especially if you are an elderly patient on a sulfonylurea medication."
"The key is whether you eat or not," Dailey tells WebMD. "I usually tell my patients who want an alcoholic beverage with their meal that one or two drinks is not likely to be a problem, but if they drink substantial amounts of alcoholic beverages between meals or skip meals then the risk is substantial."
As far as the potential health advantages of alcohol ingestion, Dailey, head of the division of diabetes and endocrinology of the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, says, "I would never recommend that a nondrinker start drinking, but if somebody who already drinks alcoholic beverages wants to have one or two during a meal there isn't any reason to restrict them."
Vital Information:
- In elderly, type 2 diabetic patients taking sulfonylureas, moderate alcohol intake during fasting periods increases the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Alcohol intake reduces the concentration of fatty acids in the blood, which play a role in glucose regulation.
- The effects of moderate alcohol intake for diabetics are not completely understood, so there are no clear recommendations for patients.

Lumpectomy and Breast Conservation
More than 90 percent of eligible breast cancer patients at our Breast Center have breast conservation surgery, compared to only 65 percent nationally.
At all times, our team of breast cancer specialists is committed to preserving as much of the natural look and feel of a woman's breast as possible. At the Johns Hopkins Breast Center, our breast surgical oncologists and reconstructive surgeons are constantly developing new breast conservation techniques, including oncoplastic surgery for women needing a large lumpectomy. More than 90 percent of eligible breast cancer patients at our Breast Center have breast conservation surgery, compared to only 65 percent nationally.
When is a woman a good candidate for a lumpectomy?
Lumpectomies have become more common for women who have smaller tumors. The tumor in the breast is removed along with some of the surrounding tissue. Recovery time for a lumpectomy is usually just several days.
Our breast surgeons perform hundreds of these surgeries a year and are sensitive to how vital a woman's breasts are to her self-esteem, emotional well being and sexual identity. Your surgeon will discuss ways to minimize lumpectomy scars so you feel the impact of the surgery as little as possible. Our surgeons also take steps to reduce the appearance of loss of volume wherever possible. Women who are candidates for breast conserving surgery have one tumor in the breast that is easily removed with surrounding tissue to yield a good cosmetic result.
Those who are not candidates include:
- Patients with multiple tumors in the breast occupying several different quadrants
- Those who have had lumpectomy with radiation in the past
- Those who have had mantle radiation for treatment of other types of cancer as a child or young adult
- Those who refuse to have radiation after lumpectomy for personal reasons
If you should need a mastectomy or reconstructive breast surgery, our breast plastic and reconstructive surgeons are nationally known for their expertise in these areas. Discuss each and every option with your surgical team and be an active part of the decision-making process. You can control the future outcome of your health and post surgical satisfaction if you are armed with as much information as possible and if you actively participate in the decisions about your surgery.

Read an Excerpt
Prologue: Goodbye, Sailor Girl
My last memory of my daddy was watching him walk out to his helicopter at the Norfolk Naval Base, where his student pilots waited respectfully at attention, their helmets under their arms.
They saluted him, and he saluted back. Then he turned to smile at me the way he always did whenever Mommy brought me to see him take off in a helicopter. He and I called it putting sunshine in our faces. In the years to follow, that smile would fade slowly like an old photograph until my imagination did more for it than my memory.
His face would always brighten with a fresh, happy surprise when he looked back at me standing beside Mommy. The specks of hazel in his otherwise light blue eyes would become more prominent. He used to call me Sailor Girl, and we would salute each other with only two fingers. He did it one last time that day. I responded with my salute, and then he turned back to his men.
My eyes drifted to a sea gull that looked lost, confused, even a bit frantic. It did a quick turn and dipped before shooting off toward the ocean as if it had seen something that had terrified it. I watched it until the sounds of the helicopter motors ripped the air and pulled my attention back to Daddy.
I stepped closer to Mommy. Something dark had already put its cold fingers on the back of my neck. My heart sank, and my stomach felt queasy. I had to feel Mommy beside me. Even at fifteen, I needed to be within the walls of her security. She and Daddy were my fortress. Nothing could harm me when I was with them.
"How he stands that noise is beyond me," Mommy said, but she looked so proud and so beautiful with her shoulder-length apricot brown hairdancing about her chin and cheeks. She was five feet ten and always stood with an air of confidence, regal. Anyone who glanced her way stared at her for a few moments longer as if he or she were hypnotized by her beauty.
Mommy's eyes were almost navy blue, which Daddy said proved she belonged with him, a navy man. She was as loyal to him as he was to the flag, her devotion and her admiration for him unflappable. My eyes were more turquoise, but I wished they were more like Mommy's so Daddy would think I, too, was meant to be always at his side.
"C'mon, Grace," she said. "I have errands to run, and you have studying to do and a guest for dinner."
She nudged me, and I followed along reluctantly. Something was telling me to stay as long as I could. I looked back only once as the helicopters lifted. I didn't see Daddy, and that disappointed me. They whirled off toward the ocean, following the sea gull.
A cloud blocked out the sun, and a long shadow fell around us as we continued toward our car.
I would remember that.
I would remember it all for a very long time.
And then, like the sea gull, it would all disappear into the distance and leave me standing alone, yearning for just one more smile, one more salute.

That is actually my question. I removed tags and categories from the list(since I don't want them in my simple case) but I could not do it at the post edit/add forms.Also I need to add a custom-field for this very purpose.

Craz-E Curry!
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 6 hrs
Bright and colourful, this delicious asian-style curry (notice the very loose use of 'asian' here ) is both delicious and healthful and makes good use of Craz-E Contest ingredients! There is a bit of time and work spent over a skillet putting things together initially, before finishing off in the crockpot, but I think this is the secret to delicious crockpot cooking - it's not a matter of 'dump' and cook, there has to be a certain amount of love put in as well to give it a layer of flavour you wouldn't otherwise get. Having said that, you could just finish off this curry in the skillet you started it in, but again, it would lose an element of flavour that it attains from the long, slow cooking in the crockpot.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1⁄2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon curry powder (I used a mild one, add more curry powder for more heat)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel tomatoes & chilies
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, with juice (should be unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into cubes
- 1⁄2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1⁄2 cup ground roasted cashews
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat and brown the pork pieces until browned on all sides. Remove from skillet and place in crockpot.
- Into the skillet add the curry powder, cumin, ginger and cayenne pepper. Saute for 30 seconds and add onion and garlic; coat with the spice mixture and saute for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add the rotel tomatoes (with green chile), pineapple tidbits (including unsweetened juice) orange marmalade, and pepper cubes, season with salt to taste and boil for 4-5 minutes to thicken sauce slightly. Remove from heat and stir in yoghurt and ground cashews. Pour the sauce into the crockpot and stir to distribute everything. Adjust seasoning to taste (you may want to add a touch more salt and curry powder, based on personal preference).
- Cook on low setting for 6 hours while you go about and enjoy your day.
- Serve with steamed rice and enjoy! (This is even better the next day).

I think for coming up with a recipe on short notice, this contestant did a great job, but the recipe was not quite as good as what I would expect to get in if I ordered curry in a restaurant. Changes I would make include using clarified butter instead of regular butter, more orange marmalade to make the flavor come through, add salt to the ingredient list, and keep the cashews whole or coarsely chopped, instead of ground (which gave the curry a gritty texture). Otherwise, everything was great! Thanks. ~Sue
This is about my 3-4th try with this review - other ones did not stick. We really liked this recipe and it sure warmed up the whole house with great aroma permeating through our home while this was crocking away. This recipe needs a bit more fat ie butter or oil in the beginning stage of sauteeing pork because of it's numerous surface after cut into bite size pieces. Also thought the taste was a tad too strong with pineapple taste but this recipe can be toned down with addition of more yogurt and that's exactly what we did at the table. Thanks for submitting.

"As always, the customer service and timeliness from Tiny Prints was excellent. I have been a repeat customer for nearly five years and this card has received the most compliments by far. Love this design, the graphic online does not do it justice!"
"I've used tiny prints for the past 6 years and they are the best quality and best options of any card company I've found. Very satisfied"
"This was the first year I ordered a photo card for Christmas. I really perused through the TinyPrints website, and carefully selected this card. We had taken a wonderful trip to Ireland in September and wanted to capture it on our cards. I wanted a card that had a good amount of photos. We were thrilled with the way these cards turned out, and received a lot of compliments from friends and family members who received them. The ease of using the website and creating and saving templates was super! I would definitely order from TinyPrints again! Bravo for a great product!"
"We use Tiny Prints every year for our holiday cards and every year we get rave reviews from our family and friends; this year being no different. Tiny Prints gives us the best selection of designs to choose from, no matter if we decide to do a traditional card one year or vintage the next. It's my favorite site to buy cards from and the quality is exceptional!"
"Was really happy with the way it turned out. My only complaint is that I wish there was a way to include a small picture with a large block of text on the back--this design only allowed for a small block of text if there was a picture. We did a large block of text with no picture, but I feel like it would have been easy to fit a small picture on there as well."

Re: I am a boxing manager: if you have questions about the boxing biz, ask!
Without a decent t.v deal promoters look to at least get a local fighter with a following over here Dempsey you may see a fighter with certain colours on their shorts & often a badge.Generally it will be a football club affiliation!
We had obviously the Hatton angle which over here crossed over football to boxing it sold.
The problem in my opinion over here is that we have promoters linked to certain managers & no cross promotion.Eddie Hearn has a sky deal Mr W has boxnation & Mick Hennessey has terrestrial tv deal over here with channel 5.The talent pool is not deep enough imo without promoters & managers working together. Do you have the same problem in the USA obviously discounting HBO/Showtime?
Great thread anyway.Over here imo the manager that cut the best signing ever was Frank Maloney with Lennox Lewis he saw a opening for a heavyweight with potential.No disrespect to Canadaians but he was always going to make more money over here.

Hi all,
In the Sencha Touch DataView component, there is a config option called 'useComponents'. I would really like to use this same feature in the Ext JS View component.
Am I missing something obvious? I cannot find anything comparable to 'useComponents' in ExtJs View.
Thanks for any insights!
There is no equal equivalent.

AUDIO: Hannity Feeds Stephanopoulos Debate Question On Weather Underground
Last night's ABC News Democratic presidential candidates debate was co-moderated by George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson, but the unseen influence of Fox News' Sean Hannity was also on stage.
Hannity, who for months has been aggressively pushing a story about Barack Obama's connections to a former member of a radical anti-Vietnam 1970s organization called the Weather Underground, interviewed Stephanopoulos on his radio show on Tuesday, where he pressed the ABC host to ask Obama about this:
HANNITY: There are two questions that I don't think anybody has asked Barack Obama, and I don't know if this is going to be on your list tomorrow. One is – the only time he's ever been asked about his association with Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist from the Weather Underground who on 9/11 of all days in the New York Times was saying "I don't regret setting bombs. I don't think we did enough." When asked about it by the Politico, David Axelrod said that they have a friendly relationship, and that they had done a number of speeches together and that they sat on a board together. Is that a question you might ask?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I'm taking notes right now.
HANNITY: September 11, 2001 of all days, there was an article in the New York Times. And there are a number of quotes about Bill Ayers. The Politico had in there the comments from David Axelrod.
Listen here:
In the debate last night, Stephanopoulos asked a question that mirrored almost word-for-word what Hannity pressed him to ask:
STEPHANOPOULOS: A gentleman named William Ayers, he was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He's never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11 he was quoted in The New York Times saying, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough."
An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house, and your campaign has said you are friendly. Can you explain that relationship for the voters, and explain to Democrats why it won't be a problem?
Watch it:
The Washington Post's Tom Shales writes today, "ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances." The debate moderators were heckled after the debate, prompting Gibson to react. "Oh…" he declared, hands raised in defense. "The crowd is turning on me, the crowd is turning on me."
Not everyone was upset about the debate. The New York Times' David Brooks writes, "I understand the complaints, but I thought the questions were excellent." So does Hannity.

Low price.
Price is what you charge; cost is what the buyer winds up paying, which may be more or less than the price, and in any event is not under your control.
See this paper for entirely too many details about these words, as well as worth and value.
Definitely Low Price over Low Cost.
Low cost implies low quality or the low end solution. Low price implies a bargain.
People get a lot more excited about bargains than products that are cheap because they don't cost much. A low cost good is something that has little value. A low priced good may actually cost less than it's value.

QUINCY, Fla. (AP) - The pilot at the center of a plane crash mystery has been found alive in northern Florida after he apparently slit one of his wrists.
U.S. Marshals spokesman Michael Richards says 38-year-old Marcus Schrenker was apprehended in a tent at a campground in Quincy.
Richards says one of Schrenker's wrists was cut, but he's in custody.
Authorities believe Schrenker parachuted out of his plane and let it crash in the Florida panhandle. They say the man may have been trying to fake his own death.
Before the crash, Schrenker's life was spiraling downward: His wife filed for divorce, and his financial management companies were under investigation.

O'Reilly Versus Will, and Healey's First Law of Holes
Regarding the ongoing feud between George Will and Bill O'Reilly, it is evident that O'Reilly has never heard of Healey's First Law of Holes (coined by the British politician Denis Healey), which runs: "If you're in one—stop digging." O'Reilly lost no time in responding to Will's latest column dismantling Killing Reagan, released yesterday afternoon. It is interesting that, just as he did with his on-air response to the Washington Post »
George Will on O'Reilly: Fire Two
George Will is just out this afternoon with a second column about Bill O'Reilly's travesty of a novel, Killing Reagan. If anything it is even more savage in dismantling O'Reilly than the first one.

Gutter balls with Bill [With comment by Paul]
Last night I touched on the demented highlights of Bill O'Reilly's wild interview with George Will in "O'Reilly projects." I've watched the video now a few more times. If you haven't seen it, you may find it of interest. I'm not entirely sure I understand all his points, but I think each point O'Reilly makes is haywire. O'Reilly begins with Will's failure to call O'Reilly before publishing his "provocative column." »
O'Reilly projects
Bill O'Reilly invited George Will to appear on his show tonight purportedly to discuss Will's column disparaging O'Reilly's bad Reagan book (video below). Instead, O'Reilly ambushed Will with a misdirected interrogation that only dug his hole a little deeper. O'Reilly then invented an obligation on Will's part to call O'Reilly before publishing Will's column on the book. The book is the issue. The book, as they say, speaks for itself. »
Did O'Reilly "slander" Reagan?
The law of defamation protects the profound interest each of us has in our reputation. It has long roots in the common law of England.

Study: Decline In Arctic Sea Ice Up To 95% Man-Made
The radical decline in sea ice around the Arctic is at least 70% due to human-induced climate change, according to a new study, and may even be up to 95% down to humans – rather higher than scientists had previously thought.
The loss of ice around the Arctic has adverse effects on wildlife and also opens up new northern sea routes and opportunities to drill for oil and gas under the newly accessible sea bed.
The reduction has been accelerating since the 1990s and many scientists believe the Arctic may become ice-free in the summers later this century, possibly as early as the late 2020s.
So begins the UK Guardian story on a new open access (!) study in in the journal Environmental Research Letters, "Sources of multi-decadal variability in Arctic sea ice extent."
This study appears consistent with a recent Geophysical Research Letters paper, "Observations reveal external driver for Arctic sea-ice retreat" (see Study: 'Virtually' Certain Impact Of Manmade 'Climate Change Is Observable In Arctic Sea Ice Already Today').
Arctic ice loss has many harsh negative consequences for humanity and the local biodiversity. First, it eliminates a primary habitat for polar bears and other species. "The survival of polar bears as a species is difficult to envisage under conditions of zero summer sea-ice cover," concludes the 2004 Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, by leading scientists from the eight Arctic nations, including the United States.
Second, a 2008 study led by David Lawrence of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) concluded (see "Tundra 4: Permafrost loss linked to Arctic sea ice loss"):
We find that simulated western Arctic land warming trends during rapid sea ice loss are 3.5 times greater than secular 21st century climate-change trends. The accelerated warming signal penetrates up to 1500 km inland"¦.
In other words, if it continues, the recent trend in sea ice loss may triple overall Arctic warming, causing large emissions in carbon dioxide and methane from the tundra this century (for a review of recent literature, see "Nature: Climate Experts Warn Thawing Permafrost Could Cause 2.5 Times the Warming of Deforestation!"). Such accelerated warming would also presumably accelerate the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Third, its greatest near-term impact on humans may its effect on our own weather, as recent scientific studies suggest:
- Arctic Warming Favors Extreme, Prolonged Weather Events 'Such As Drought, Flooding, Cold Spells And Heat Waves'
- Our Extreme Weather: Is Arctic Sea Ice Loss Partly to Blame?
- Must-See Video: Has Global Warming Caused A Quantum Jump In Extreme Weather?
So homo "sapiens" would be rather foolish to knowingly take steps that would lead to an ice free Arctic. Only brainless frogs would do that.
A good non-technical discussion on the new study can be found in the University of Reading's news release, excerpted below:
Sea ice coverage at the North Pole has shrunk dramatically over the past 40 years. The ice is now more than a third smaller each September following the summer melt than it was in the 1970s. This affects wildlife, while potentially opening up new northern sea routes and controversial opportunities for oil and gas exploration.
Scientists at the University of Reading and the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) have found that some of the reduction in ice since 1979 – between 5% and 30% – may be linked to the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO), a cycle of warming and cooling in the North Atlantic, which repeats every 65-80 years and has been in a warming phase since the mid 1970s.
Dr Jonny Day, University of Reading, said: "The debate over how much the change observed in Arctic sea ice can be attributed to humans and how much is due to natural variability in the climate is an important one. Our study shows that while natural changes play a significant role, the majority of sea ice loss – between 70% and 95% – is likely to be due to man-made greenhouse gas emissions….
By using advanced statistical techniques to compare satellite data obtained since 1979 with computer simulations run on some of the world's most powerful supercomputers, researchers were able to provide a better estimate of the importance of natural climate variability on the reduction in sea ice, and how much could be attributed to human activity.
They found the natural cycles in winds over the Arctic (the Arctic Oscillation, or AO), which can cause ice to thin in some areas and pile up in others, had surprisingly little influence on the loss of sea ice. However the Atlantic Ocean's AMO oscillation did have an impact.
The research, published online today in Environmental Research Letters, also looks back to 1953 when fewer observations are available. The natural warming/cooling cycles of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) appear to have a much smaller influence on sea ice loss since 1953.
The wisest time to slash emissions was quite some time ago, but action now is better is still infinitely than later.

Actually its is probably more like 110%.
We are suppose to be in a period of natural gentle global temp decline.
Current Climate Running Against the Grain
a little bit of science reticence me thinks.
Wrong link… heres a better one…
Warming Arctic should be cooling, study finds
Sediment samples, computer simulations track temps back 2,000 years
"The Arctic is warmer than it's been in 2,000 years, according to a new study, even though it should be cooling because of changes in the Earth's orbit that cause the region to get less direct sunlight."
Somebody needs to send this to Revkin who, predictably, repeated the "natural cycles" meme on his blog, stimulating another "debate".
Your recent testimony before Congress said it perfectly, Joe, by saying that it's time that government did its job. Maybe you should have added that part of their effort should be to overcome the unfortunate truth that our leaders are less human than the rest of us.
I would say 100% man made. Would we be having this disaster if atmospheric CO2 were at 270 ppm? We are nearly at 400 ppm! Where do you suppose all that came from? Of course it is only seen as disaster to some. An ice free Arctic represents a clear economic advantage to shippers looking for shorter routes and for those interested in exploiting mineral resources. It isn't just crude, mining the sea floor is the new frontier.
"The ice is now more than a third smaller each September following the summer melt than it was in the 1970s."
It's worth mentioning that while *extent* is down ~40% since accurate records began, *volume* of September Arctic sea ice is down by more like ~70% (with larger error bars, of course, since it is much more difficult to measure).
I think many people not realize that we actually should enter a cooling period. Just imagine it wouldn't be that way and what that would mean for global warming already….
I have a hard time imagine the summer in 10 years or even in 5, because it is projected to get even hotter!

Kexim Starts Marketing Asia's First Dollar Bond of the Year
Export-Import Bank of Korea, South Korea's biggest seller of overseas bonds, started marketing this year's first dollar security from an Asian borrower.
The state-owned lender began selling notes maturing in five years, and 10 years and three months to investors today, said Lee Seung Keon, who leads the debt capital market team at Export-Import Bank, otherwise known as Kexim. "Each one is benchmark-sized," he said in a telephone interview from Seoul, which typically means at least $500 million.
"The five-year bonds will be priced around 325 basis points over Treasuries, and the longer dated ones at 315 to 320 basis points" more than U.S. debt, Lee said.
Kexim announced the sale shortly before the Philippine government started selling 25-year bonds with a coupon of about 5.25 percent, according to a person who declined to be identified because the details are private.
The South Korean bank last sold a benchmark dollar bond in September when it raised $1 billion from a 4.375 percent ten-year note, Bloomberg data show. The notes were yielding 4.75 percent as of 14.22 p.m. in Hong Kong, according to prices from BNP Paribas SA. Kexim has $11.3 billion of debt maturing this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
BNP Paribas, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, and Royal Bank of Scotland Plc are arranging the sale, according to a person familiar with the transaction who didn't want to be identified because the matter is confidential.

Dave Dir
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (September 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
David Dir is a former United States soccer goalkeeper, coach and broadcaster. He played professionally in USISL and coached in the American Professional Soccer League, NCAA and Major League Soccer.
Playing career[edit]
Dir played youth soccer with the Chicago Kickers. He attended Western Illinois University, where he majored in broadcasting. In 1980, the Chicago Sting of the North American Soccer League drafted Dir with their first selection in the 1980 NASL College Draft. He suffered an injury in his first season and never played in a league game for the team. He later played for the Colorado Comets in the USISL.[1]
Managerial career[edit]
In 1989, Dir began his coaching career as an assistant with the Colorado Foxes in the American Professional Soccer League. In 1990, Regis University hired Dir as head coach of the men's soccer team. His teams won the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference both seasons with a record of 10-5-2 in 1990 and 9-5-4 in 1991. He was voted the 1990 RMAC Coach of the Year. In 1992, he left Regis to become head coach of the Colorado Foxes of the American Professional Soccer League. In his two and a half seasons with the team, he won the APSL championship twice as well as the pro cup and regular season championship in each year. In May 1994, he resigned as head coach when his wife, who was a flight attendant, was transferred to a new location.[2]
Dir was approached by Major League Soccer (MLS) which was preparing for its first season to become the head of player personnel in charge of all scouting and creation of the original MLS player pool. Dir worked with Sunil Gulati as a director of player personnel for the new league for two years. In 1994, Dir left the league position and became the first head coach of the Dallas Burn, a position he held from 1996, the club's inaugural year, until 2000. He was the longest serving of the original ten MLS head coaches, winning the 1997 U.S. Open Cup. This remains the team's only championship. Dir remains in the top five for all time MLS wins as a head coach with eighty-four.
Broadcasting career[edit]
In 2000, the club fired Dir and he became a soccer broadcaster with ESPN and Fox Sports. He formerly hosted World Cup Tonight in 2002 and was a co-host on MLS Primetime. He also provided color commentary for national team broadcasts as well as MLS Cup on ABC. Currently he works on MLS broadcasts for multiple clubs in the league, and continues as an assistant coach with the U-20 men's national team. Dir has been a coach through four cycles of the U-20 program with various head coaches.
In 2002 Dir became a partner and is serving as president of the Associated Soccer Group, a national soccer education company which operates and oversees the operations of clubs in Dallas, Georgia and Florida.
