Title Bar
The title bar at the top of a window displays an application-defined icon and line of text. The text specifies the name of the application and indicates the purpose of the window. The title bar also makes it possible for the user to move the window using a mouse or other pointing device.
Title bars contain at least three small buttons that minimize, maximize or restore, and close the window associated with the title bar. Title bars also contain a context-sensitive Help button. Applications running in the Far-East version of the Windows operating system may also contain Input Method Editor (IME) buttons. Active Accessibility exposes these buttons as child elements of the title bar.
Supported Properties and Methods
- accHitTest
- accLocation
- accNavigate
- accSelect
- get_accChildCount
- The ChildCount property is five. The ChildCount property includes the IME and context-sensitive Help buttons even when they are not displayed. Buttons that are not displayed have the State property STATE_SYSTEM_INVISIBLE.
- get_accDescription
- The Description property of the title bar itself is: "Displays the name of the window and contains controls to manipulate it."
The child buttons in the title bar have the following descriptions:
- "Moves the window out of
- "Makes the window full
- "Puts a minimized or
- "Closes the window"
- "Enters or leaves context-
- "Brings up the keyboard when pressed"
- get_accName
- The title bar itself does not support the Name property. The child buttons in the title bar have the following names:
- "Minimize"
- "Maximize" or "Restore",
- "Close"
- "Context help"
- get_accParent
- The Parent property of the title bar is the main application window (ROLE_SYSTEM_WINDOW) that has the same application-defined window class name as the title bar.
- get_accRole
- The Role property is ROLE_SYSTEM_TITLEBAR. The child buttons in the title bar have the Role property ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON.
- get_accState
- The State property for the title bar and the child buttons can be a combination of one or more of the following values:
- get_accValue
- The Value property is a string that is the same as the text displayed in the title bar.
Events Generated
Although an application's title bar has the State property flag STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE, it never has the State flag STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED. Setting focus to a title bar object focuses the application window.
Because the title bar object does not support get_accChild, the buttons on the title bar are simple elements. They do not support the IAccessible interface themselves. The title bar object provides information about these child buttons.
Because title bars do not get focus and have no default action, the accDoDefaultAction and get_accDefaultAction methods are not supported for this control.

Because the grass is just starting to come back after the (what seems like) long, cold winter, we continue to supplement the Angus Boys' grass with what's left of our hay. They eat hay in the evening to get more fuel calories for the cold nights.
Here's Ms. Pearl, the crazy lunch lady, guarding the cafeteria and making sure everyone has their lunch cards at the ready. This is her Polaris Ranger, and you'd better not get too close!
Sometimes they just can't help themselves, though, kind of like me if there are chipscookiescakecandyanything at all to eat right out there on the counter. It's there, so why not eat it, lunch card or not?
With the words, "Tell them to get back!" Pearlie Girl leaps from her Polaris perch to send The Angus Boys back to their grass.
With The Boys on their way back to the mundane grass, the words, "Okay, come on," bring Ms. Pearl right back. Sometimes a dog needs a job, and when the dog is half Australian Shepherd and half Labrador Retriever, that means lots of stuff to do.
You need a comfy place to lounge between jobs, though.

silence's echo
" Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.

Anita And Me By Meera Syal. Adapted by Tanika Gupta
Meera Syal's much-loved novel bursts on to the stage for the very first time.
This poignant coming-of-age tale follows Meena, a young girl growing up in the only Punjabi family in a 1970s Black Country mining village. Meena spends her days happily getting into scrapes with the other local children until one day the impossibly cool Anita enters her life. Suddenly Meena knows exactly who she wants to be but is Anita all that she seems? Soon Meena's world is turned upside down as she is caught between two very different cultures.
Anita And Me paints a comic, poignant, compassionate and colourful portrait of village life in the era of flares, power cuts and glam rock!

Sony VPL-VW95ES Projector Review
Sony VPL-VW95ES Menus
Although Sony seems to add a new feature or two with each generation, the menus have been fundamentally the same.
Because the menu stucture hasn't changed since the first of the series, the VW50, way back in 2006, we often borrow from older reviews. It's time for a fresh start, so for the VW95ES review, we have all new menu photos and descriptions. Here goes.
For those who like experimenting, and lots of controls to play with, this VPL-VW95ES should keep you most amused!
Sony VPL-VW95ES Remote Control
This remote for the 95ES is almost the same one they switched to last year. In fact it is the same but for the addition of two more buttons. I like this remote. It's a big one, very long. The backlight is a deep LED blue, with reasonably good visibility of the letters on the buttons.
Since this remote is essentially the same except for the addition of two new buttons, most of this content is borrowed from our Sony review of last year.:
This layout is now, perhaps my all time favorite remote control, at least of all the remotes I've worked with while reviewing home theater projectors. Keep in mind that I spend a lot of time using remotes, as I try out different settings. As a result, my usage is a lot different than the typical owner, but I still think everyone should find this to be an excellent remote control.
Image to the right, is last year's remote for the VW90ES. The new one has 2 additional buttons. We will replace this image shortly.
I also note, this is one large remote – measuring a full 10 inches in length. Also of note, a few of the keys do glow dimly, so with some difficulty, you can find it in a fully darkened room. That may sound minor, but, I got so frustrated over the last year plus, with my remotes for my two Sony PS3s, when trying to locate them when the lights are off, that I finally put a couple of day-glow stickers on both of them.
Let's start at the top, and work our way down…
Top right is a green power switch. It uses the standard protocol of Press once to power up, Press twice, to power down. Next to it, is the Input button allowing you to toggle through the different sources. To its left, is the Light button, that turns on the blue LED lights that illuminate the buttons..
The next two rows are for the six Picture modes: Cinema, Standard, and Dynamic, pluse User 1, 2, and 3.
Because this Sony remote can control other Sony Bravia devices such as Blu-ray players and camcorders, you will next find a full set of playback controls, such as play, fast forward, next/previous chapter, pause, etc.
Also included in that section are the Sync Menu and Options buttons, to define and select those other Bravia devices. Different options are available depending on the devices. This whole control section only works when the compatible Bravia devices are hooked up via HDMI 1 or HDMI 2.
Next comes the main navigation section. It consists of the usual four arrow keys (in a round configuration), with a center Enter button.
Surrounding the navigation area are three buttons in a larger circle. The one to the upper left brings up the Lens functions (focus, zoom, lens shift). The bottom one is the Menu button to launch the menus, and the top right one is the Reset button. Personally, I find large Reset buttons located near navigation to be scary. Nothing worse than, "oops" I just reset everything." Still there is a confirm function, but, pay attention!
Below the navigation area are nine buttons that provide direct access to some of the more frequently selected controls: Gamma, Black Level settings, Advanced Iris, Color Space, Color Temp, 3D, Motion Enhancer (CFI), Wide Mode which lets you toggle through different aspect ratios, RCP which is Sony's color management system, and lets you individually tune each primary and secondary color.
Note; We do not work with the RCP as part of our own "basic" grayscale calibration of the VW95ES. Most likely, if you hire a good professional calibrator, they will adjust the individual colors, as well as the grayscale balance.
That leaves just six more buttons – actually 3 pairs of direct controls. They are Sharpness, Brightness, and Contrast.
Again, an excellent remote. It is logically laid out, the buttons have a good feel. It fits well in your hand (mine is pretty average sized), and has excellent range.
Sony VPL-VW95ES Lens Throw
The VW95ES projector's motorized 1.6:1 zoom lens offers a reasonable amount of placement range. Per the user manual, if you have a 100 inch diagonal 16:9 screen, the lens allows the projector to be placed as close as 10 feet 1 inch, or as far back as 16 feet 4 inches. That said, the Sony is not going to rear shelf mount in a lot of people's rooms, due to the relatively shallow maximum distance, compared to most other projectors with 1.5:1 to 2.1:1 zooms. The 95ES can not be placed as far back as most projectors that are rear shelf mountable (has lens shift). Most of the non-DLP competition can be placed as far back as 19 – 21 feet, for the same sized screen.
The bottom line, therefore, is while you can, of course, ceiling mount the VPL-90ES projector, many will not be able to place the Sony on a rear shelf, unless they are using an unusually large screen for a that room size. Let me restate that – you aren't likely to be able to rear shelf mount unless your room depth is fairly shallow.
VW95 Lens Shift
The Sony VPL-95ES has vertical and horizontal lens shift. Both functions are motorized, and controlled from the remote, via the lens button.
For a 100″ screen, the center of the lens can be placed as high as approximately 7.5 inches above the top of your screen surface Actually Sony quotes in their manual, a maximum of 31 – 7/8 inches above the center of the screen, which is about 49.5 inches high, so top of the screen is about 24.3 inches above the center of the screen.
VPL-VW95ES Anamorphic Lens, Lens Memory
The VPL-VW95ES, of course, supports using an anamorphic lens. A motorized sled for the lens can be controlled by the Sony's 12 volt trigger. This allows you to go with a true Cinemascope shaped screen (such as 2.35:1).
For those selling your soul just to afford a VW95ES, without the budget for the lens, or lens and sled, please note that a 2.35:1 (anamorphic) screen is still very doable, if that's your preference, and if it works out for your room placement.
The Sony VPL-VW95ES offers a full Lens Memory setup. This will allow you to go with that 2.35:1 (or 2.40:1) "Cinemascope" width screen. With Lens Memory, once it's set up, when you want to watch a widescreen movie, then simply at the touch of a button, the image will zoom out (larger image) to fill the entire width of your 2.35:1 screen. At the same time, (the Sony has digital image shift and motorized lens shift), the image will adjust to be properly filling the screen vertically with just the information from the movie, with the letterboxing overshooting the screen. With the Sony's great black level performance, you are only likely to really notice the letterboxing if your front wall around your screen is white or near white, and you're watching a very dark scene.
Alternately, when it's time to watch some "standard" 16:9 content – including HDTV, and most animation films, the lens will return to the the setting for watching in a 16:9 aspect ratio, keeping the whole vertical image within the screen height (constant screen height), which results in the letterboxing on the screen, to the left and right of the 16:9 image.
If movies are your primary reason for owning a projector, then for most, it does make sense to have the largest screen size when viewing movies. With the standard 16:9 screen, though, movies – due to their letterboxing, are a smaller area, than HDTV.
With the VPL-VW95ES, you have two ways to go "widescreen" – either use the lens memory, or go with a full anamorphic lens solution.

Manufacturer's Description
The life of the modern professional footballer is one of status, success, and celebrity. Yet there is a group of elite players who are prepared to risk everything to participate in something more. They want the beautiful game in its purest form, 5-a-side football played on the very edge, where the rules are decided by those who take part, not by a referee.
It is here that the players are free to play, here that they feel most alive, here that they are first and foremost footballers... "Pure Footballers".
- No offsides, no red or yellow cards... just an intense non-stop football experience. Only by playing too aggressively at the expense of good football will you be penalized.
- Take advantage of a huge array of offensive and defensive physical moves including slide tackles, upright tackles, shoulder barging, contested headers, off-the-ball tussles and more...
- See what the players see with the camera close in behind them, looking up the pitch.
- Feel the power and intense bursts of speed of the world's finest players - all supported with VFX such as motion-blur, slo-mo and camera shakes. All this gives you the feeling that you're actually playing football rather than sitting in the stands or in-front of a TV broadcast.
- Take Aim - Take full control of your shots and watch them curl into the top corner or bullet past the goalkeeper.
- Pure Shots - Unique presentation and control for perfectly struck shots
- Cool volleys, bicycle kicks and trick animations are all authentic to real football but can be triggered with a level of frequency not seen in the professional game.
- 230 elite players, 17 top International teams and 3 legend teams.
- These fine athletes tangibly feel different to one another, with attributes that really exaggerate differences in the speed, the strength and the skills of their real-life counterparts.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Chapter 17. Neoplasia: I. Classification, Nomenclature, & Epidemiology of Neoplasms ++ Neoplasia (Latin, new growth) is an abnormality of cellular differentiation, maturation, and control of growth. Neoplasms are commonly recognized by the formation of masses of abnormal tissue (tumors). The term tumor can be applied to any swelling—and in that context is one of the cardinal signs of inflammation—but today it is used most commonly to denote suspected neoplasm. Neoplasms are benign or malignant depending on several features, chiefly the ability of malignant neoplasms to spread from the site of origin. Benign neoplasms grow but remain localized. Cancer denotes a malignant neoplasm (the term is thought to derive from the way in which the tumor grips the surrounding tissues with claw-like extensions, much like a crab). ++ Although a neoplasm may not be difficult to recognize, the process of neoplasia is hard to define. The definition of neoplasm proposed in the early 1950s by Rupert Willis, a British pathologist, is probably the best: "A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the surrounding normal tissues and persists in the same excessive manner after cessation of the stimuli that evoked the change." This definition is analyzed in greater detail in Chapter 18: Neoplasia: II. Mechanisms & Causes of Neoplasia. ++ Although all neoplasms possess certain characteristics in common—particularly the capacity for uncontrolled continuous growth (Chapter 19: Neoplasia: III. Biologic & Clinical Effects of Neoplasms)—they vary enormously in their gross and microscopic features. The clinical presentation, behavior, effects, response to therapy (Chapter 19: Neoplasia: III. Biologic & Clinical Effects of Neoplasms), and etiology (Chapter 18: Neoplasia: II. Mechanisms & Causes of Neoplasia) are likewise diverse. ++ For these reasons, the classification of neoplasms has major implications for prognosis and therapy. Approaches to the classification of neoplasms are summarized in Table 17-1. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 17–1. Approaches to Classification of Neoplasms. View Large|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf)Table 17–1. Approaches to Classification of Neoplasms. Basis for Classification Historical Aspect Current Clinical Usefulness Site First recognized by Egyptian embalmers, who realized that tumors of the breast, uterus, soft parts, and so forth were different from one another. The basis for all clinical classifications; neoplasms of any given site may incude many different pathologic types. Biologic behavior Hippocrates (460–375 BC) recognized 2 broad groups: (1) "carcinos": innocuous, which included some inflammatory lesions and benign neoplasms; and (2) "carcinomas": dangerous, often causing death. Galen (130–200 AD) classified "tumors" as (1) according to nature (eg, pregnant uterus), (2) exceeding nature (inflammatory masses), or (3) contrary to nature (the true neoplasms). The distinction between benign and malignant is the most important form of clinical classification and the one on which treatment is based (see text). Cell (tissue) of origin (histogenetic classification) Histologic features of neoplasms have been used since the introduction of diagnostic microscopy in 1850.

Lisa Stansfield
Born in Manchester, England, in 1966, Stansfield grew up listening to soul music. In 1980, she won Search for a Star, a singing competition, and released her first single, "Your Alibis" -- a dramatic ballad seemingly made for a film -- on the Devil label in 1981. Stansfield sounded significantly older than her age. Subsequently signed to Polydor, she was pushed toward slick new wave pop for a handful of singles released during 1982 and 1983. None of them charted. Longer strides were made with Blue Zone, a short-term group formed with Ian Devaney and Andy Morris. Their biggest hit, a mature dance-pop single titled "Jackie," reached number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988.
Stansfield's most momentous year was 1989, when she co-wrote and fronted Coldcut's "People Hold On." Arista signed her as a solo artist, though she continued to record with Devaney and Morris, who co-wrote and produced the majority of her debut album, Affection, released in the U.K. that November (and in the U.S. the following February). "All Around the World," a platinum seller in the U.S. and a gold release in several other territories, was its biggest hit by far, but the Coldcut-produced "This Is the Right Time," along with "Live Together" and the number one U.S. R&B hit "You Can't Deny It," were also successful. Stansfield was nominated for Grammy awards in the categories of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best New Artist.
Stansfield continued to work with Devaney and Morris on Real Love (November 1991) and So Natural (November 1993), both of which reached the Top Ten in the U.K. The latter album, heavier on ballads with less dance-oriented material, wasn't released in the U.S. Stansfield made several appearances on soundtracks and compilations prior to the more widely distributed Lisa Stansfield (March 1997), which featured covers of Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" and Phyllis Hyman's "You Know How to Love Me." The album was produced by Devaney and Peter Mokran and did not involve Morris.
In 1999, Stansfield made her film debut in Swing, for which she recorded ten songs -- produced by Devaney -- that were included on the soundtrack. After Face Up (June 2001), which barely cracked the U.K. Top 40 and completed her contractual obligation to Arista, she signed with Trevor Horn's ZTT label and worked with the producer on The Moment (September 2004), a set that did not fare well in the U.K. but went gold in Germany. Acting in a wide variety of television series and films, including Monkey Trousers, Gold Plated, Agatha Christie's Marple, The Edge of Love, and Northern Soul, kept Stansfield away from recording studios, but she returned in October 2013 with Seven. ~ Andy Kellman

Here you go, man. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater
The enclosure was designed by Pete at http://pwkdesigns.com/
Beautiful work, thank you for the link. I love the approach you took with the kick panels.
I'm noticing now that the enclosure is actaully a 6th order, which is even more impressive with regard to group delay and transient response. I'm sure between the one octave sub-40hz passband and T/A, it's not an issue. Again, very nice.
I'm not Scott, but he would say thank you!
There's good reason for that, especially for anyone still using the passive crossover that was supplied with the components. Back in the day there wasn't much T/A so the best way to equalize path-lengths was to mount drivers in the kicks. Aside from that, it's crucial to keep the mid and tweet as close together as possible to preserve phase coherency and a good/even power response. Splitting the mids and tweets apart by more than a full wavelength at the set crossover frequency introduces phase anomalies and comb filtering issues. People tend to think that you can solve this by simply inverting the polarity on the tweets, but that throws the design of the partnership between the components and the passive crossover right out the window as the polarity was already taken into consideration based on the slopes involved.
With T/A and steep filters, splitting drivers is not as big of an issue but there's still penalties involved when compared to setups acting more like a point source, coax and full range.
i have a mk4 also...what you doin for power? alt? batts?
A proper crimping, as in utilizing the needed pressure and material(s), do to the terminal and cable, what is called cold-fuse them together. Although, for the size cables and terminals we use, the amount of pressure needed is indeed immense :p A cold fusing of say OFC cabling and an OFC terminal, actually fuses them as ONE continuous piece of cable. Sure, CCA cabling for instance with an aluminum or copper terminal can cold fuse as well; total resistivity of the piece will still be low, but a tiny bit higher than using the same material for it. Yes you can fuse different metals together, but that is a process that requires a cave and LOTS of explosives lol. Anyhow, I don't want to clog this thread up much more because it is a nice build thread ; but for a given piece, proper crimping has less total resistivity than a soldered piece from say one terminal's end to the other terminal's end. However, for most of the world, the difference is not too big of a concern.

Looks like Metrolina Christian Academy in Indian Trail and Charlotte's Collinswood Language Academy have become the latest local schools to win big in a national social media contest. Metrolina took the grand prize of $50,000 in the Clorox Power a Bright Future contest, while Collinswood won a $20,000 grant.
The contest was designed to let parents and teachers across the country nominate school sports, music and arts programs that have been hit hard by budget cuts. Supporters voted online. Metrolina will put its money toward a new athletics complex, while Collinswood will upgrade its playground.
The Charlotte Jewish Day School learned earlier this fall that it had won $500,000 in a Facebook contest by Kohl's department store.

Whatever football now represents, it is certainly a lot more important than just being a sport. It is a growing commercial sector, with revenues expected to jump massively through digital television. This places new pressures on the relationships of clubs with their local authorities, which have to balance their support for an important community resource with the recognition that clubs that convert into PLCs are potentially major profit-earning ventures.
Dr Sean Perkins is research associate at the Centre for Football Research at Leicester University and is investigating the relationship between clubs and councils. He says that most councils recognise the need to support their local clubs because the identity of communities is wrapped up with the success of the team. "The football team may be the only thing an area is known for," explains Dr Perkins.
One of the problems for local authorities and, ultimately, for the clubs, Dr Perkins argues, is that many clubs lose touch with their communities once they become PLCs. "The larger clubs that have become PLCs have tended to move away from their communities," he says. "It is dangerous for them to turn themselves into commuter clubs. They need to remember that once a week or once a fortnight they cause disruption to their local communities."
Loosening the connection between club and town may lead to a club losing the support of its local authority, suggests Dr Perkins. "In the past, a lot of football clubs were all about local businessmen having stakes. Now city institutions are running the clubs. We've not yet accepted the franchise idea of the States, where a team might be located anywhere, but with Wimbledon talking of moving, we might be edging that way."
Dr Perkins says that enormous benefits can flow from a positive relationship between club and council. Not the least is the lifting of community spirit achieved by sporting success. More practically, clubs such as Northampton and Huddersfield have the best facilities for disabled supporters precisely because of the relationships they have with their local authorities.
Huddersfield had been on the verge of bankruptcy when Kirklees council stepped in, offering a commercial partnership. A joint venture was formed in which the council and the club each held a 40 per cent shareholding and Huddersfield's rugby league club 20 per cent. The ground, owned by the council, was developed into a state-of-the art stadium for the two sports, with new leisure facilities and a conference suite. Finance came from some of the council's capital receipts, plus grants from the Football Trust and Sports Council, commercial sponsorship, sports charities and the lottery. Kirklees expects the enterprise to be profitable, and it has been copied elsewhere.
Sunderland developed its ground because of the co-operation of the Tyne & Wear Development Corporation. Owner- ship of the ground - once a coal mine - was given by the corporation to the football club, and the club met the full costs of developing the ground. The club says that it is coincidental that it also has the biggest community scheme in the country, pushing anti-drugs, anti-racist and positive educational messages.
Newcastle City Council praises Newcastle United football club, which became a PLC last year. "We have a very good relationship with them," says a spokeswoman. "Their community division does a lot for our schools. They have an after-school homework club which the schools are linked into, with PCs and curriculum support. It is tremendously popular." The council has, though, been criticised by some residents for giving permission for a new ground on green belt land in the city.
The Institute of Leisure and Amenities Managers is holding a conference later this year, examining the issues thrown up by the evolving relationship between councils and clubs. Vice-president Mike Fulford says that some of the biggest problems arise as small clubs work their way up the football pyramid. As they achieve promotion they are expected to improve their grounds, which are often owned by councils. There is then a potential conflict as to who should pay for the improvements.
But new issues arise as clubs become PLCs and recognise that they must work their assets harder. "If a ground is only used for football then it is only used for 1 per cent of the available hours," explains Mr Fulford. "Which is why more of them now have fitness and conference facilities attached. They already have the parking and transport links." Mr Fulford says that a club being a PLC should not affect a council's relationship with it. "On the regeneration side, councils are working with profit- making businesses all the time. What you do get is the situation with Newcastle needing a new ground, which is to some extent a planning issue, but the opposition to which shows up that community links are not as strong as they could be."
