Walmart is expanding its Christmas layaway program for 2012 to help customers with an interest-free pay-over-time incentive. The program returned due to customer demand, and it will include more items than just toys and electronics.
The 2012 holiday season will include an expanded program for layaway customers at Walmart. The retail giant will be bringing back their interest-free pay-over-time incentive due to customer demand, and it will include more items than just toys and electronics.
"Last year, millions of Americans replied on layaway at Wal-Mart to provide a great Christmas for their families," said Duncan MacNaughton, chief merchandising and marketing officer for the company's U.S. store division, in a statement. "Because of their feedback, we're offering the service again this year and making it better than ever."
The layaway program will expand in 2012 by lasting a month longer, allowing Walmart consumers to stretch their dollars more.
On Monday, the world's largest retailer made the announcement in an effort to bring in customer for what is expected to be an intensely competitive holiday season.
This year, customers will be asked to pay a $15 fee to open a layaway account; however, they will receive a $15 Walmart gift card once they complete their payments by Dec. 14 and there are no cancellation fees.
The program will begin on Sept. 16 and conclude on Dec. 14, which will give Walmart shoppers an extra month to spread their funds, compared to last year.

Measuring Worker Turnover in Long-Term Care
Lessons from the Better Jobs Better Care Demonstration
The high turnover of direct-care workers in long-term care is challenging to both policy-makers and provider organizations, and many interventions have been tried in an effort to improve staff retention. Staff turnover is not only costly, but can also lead to disruptions in continuity of care for residents and clients.
In this article, the authors draw on their experience from the national study—Better Jobs Better Care (BJBC) Demonstration —to explain the important issues involved in measuring and interpreting turnover. Insuring comparable measures of turnover is critical in monitoring the effects of interventions designed to reduce staff from leaving and in implementing "pay-for-performance" initiatives where staff turnover rates may be an indication of quality of care. The authors describe how Penn State created a management information system that collects data that were used in creating comparable turnover rates. The researchers found that a difference in definitions was a key reason for inconsistent measures among long-term care organizations. For instance, how turnover is calculated and who is included in the population of interest both affect the turnover rates reported by different providers.
In order to have a standardized measure, policy-makers must develop common definitions and the same data elements.

Wolves howling for third place finish
Holding steady in third place in the league, the WestShore Wolves are excited of the successful inaugural season.
As of Jan. 22 the team was soaring on a five-game winning streak. The results of the Jan. 23 game against the Victoria Cougars were not available at the time of the **Gazette's deadline.
The Wolves have already secured a spot in the finals, but still have another five regular season games to play.
"It's been a really competitive season with a lot of parody," said general manager Ken Carson.
There are nine teams in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and the top eight will make the playoffs this year.
Carson said the team's ultimate goal is to keep it's third place standing.
Before the Wolves, the junior B team on the West Shore was the Stingers and it never made the playoffs. The Wolves owners bought the right to have the franchise on the West Shore and have been able to revive junior B hockey.
"We've got all of our 23 players are buying into out system," Carson said. "We are having a lot of scoring on all our lineups."
Carson credits the team's strong players in goaltending, forwards and defence to the successful season.
"We still have a few bumps but out goals have helped us make up for it," Carson said.
The teams next home game is on Jan. 30 against Kerry Park Islanders at Bear Mountain Arena at 7:30 p.m.

Digital Goods and the New Economy
Digital goods are bit strings, sequences of 0s and 1s, that have economic value. They are distinguished from other goods by five characteristics: digital goods are non-rival, infinitely expansible, discrete, aspatial, and recombinant. The New Economy is one where the economics of digital goods importantly influence aggregate economic performance. This Article considers such influences not by hypothesizing ad hoc inefficiencies that the New Economy can purport to resolve, but instead by beginning from a Arrow-Debreu perspective and asking how digital goods affect outcomes. This approach sheds light on why property rights on digital goods differ from property rights in general, guaranteeing neither appropriate incentives nor social efficiency; provides further insight into why Open Source Software is a successful model of innovation and development in digital goods industries; and helps explain how geographical clustering matters.

Inside, the walls and ceilingare padded with pink cotton candy, and a bare light bulb hangs in the center. The door is opened at 9pm, but the interior is visible through the window throughout the evening. The Red Party's main dinner is served inside a Russian-themed constructivist set, and Padded Cell acts as an escape from that, an all-American funhouse that is at the same time confining, threatening, claustrophobic. It is an object that addresses the dark side of pleasure, the price of pleasure, the possibility that pleasure is its own punishment.Okay, so you may not be able to eat through the plexiglass.Advertisement[Spotted on Inhabitat]Reply54 repliesLeave a reply

Speaking of Angie…
Why stop at the world? Why not the UNIVERSE? Hello Magazine readers voted (over 15,00 counted!) for the celebrity they thought was the most stylish and guess who won? Angelina Jolie!Makes sense to me. When you are as beautiful and genuine as Angie, how can she ever look bad?
"I am a working mother… I want my wardrobe to be beautiful, sexy and comfortable, all at the same time," she says.
Those long flowing dresses really hit home huh? What do you think? Does Angie deserve the top spot? If not, who should have replaced her?

"I figured out why I'm not getting seriously rich. I write newspaper columns. Nobody ever makes newspaper columns into Major Motion Pictures starring Tom Cruise.

Seen as a progressive and a civil libertarian, Sen. Ron Wyden has become the "Golden Boy" of the Democrats and risen to a position of great power within the Senate.
As the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee — think taxes — Wyden is the most powerful Senate member outside of Majority Leader. To illustrate the importance, he has raised $1.7 million in campaign funds so far during this election cycle, a record for him, and did this during a non-campaign year.
Two questions, Dan.
1. Recently, I went to a bar with my brother and encountered a friend from high school. My brother told me that, toward the end of the night, my friend followed him into the bathroom and made a drunken pass at him (which apparently involved a clumsy grab at his penis). My brother has no reason to lie about the incident. My inclination is to ignore the issue. If my friend is closeted or bi-curious, I feel like it isn't my place to force the issue and I should respect his privacy. Advice?
We expect July to deliver a month of warm soil in the garden. There is a certain sensual pleasure gotten from dragging fingers through moist soil when weeding or planting. Bare hands, no gloves. As sensual pleasures go, this is both beneficial and acceptable in public.
In an urban growth boundary expansion, the city of Springfield is studying location of a 362-acre industrial zone on Seavey Loop. This plan threatens farms, businesses, residences, property values, species, public recreation, sustainable development and a way of life at the gateway to Mount Pisgah.
At a recent panel discussion, local politicians and service provider representatives addressed the pressing need for community services for the mentally ill. Unfortunately, the Legislature chose to direct human service funding to institutional care rather than community-based programs. The soon to be completed State Mental Hospital between Eugene and Junction City is the result of that funding priority decision.
I am a straight female who was a dominatrix for a while — and out of all the jobs I've had, I loved it the most. Working as a secretary — one with a master's in writing — wasn't that hard to beat, I guess. But professional dommes aren't immune to workplace romances, and I fell in love with a client. Long story short, we are still together after a year and a half, after I closed my practice and sold (most of) my toys because he didn't want to be with a woman who was still practicing this kind of physical intimacy with others.
A question to the 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court: Tell us again why corporations can avoid paying for contraception in their health-care plans if doing so would violate their sincerely held religious beliefs, but we mortals cannot avoid paying taxes to finance wars that violate ours?
I am a single woman, 31, in LA, and on OkCupid. (We all are.) I've gotten a number of unicorn requests. (Maybe because I mention being a subscriber to the Savage Lovecast magnum version in my profile?) I've never responded — until the other day. One unicorn request stood out. I wrote back. They seem like cool, smart, interesting people (a 40-year-old liberal married couple). Their profile is funny, and they're quite attractive! And here I am, not doing anything else or anyone else… and I'm thinking… this could be cool.
Those blacked-out pages that the Lane County commissioners and the UO folks have been providing in response to public record requests may appear to be worthless, but they are great for covering ass.
I'm a bit out of your usual demographic, age-wise (I'm 70), but I am still an avid reader. (This is true, not a Penthouse letter.) My cousin and I have flirted and joked about getting it on together for about 50 years or more. Now she's divorced and having the time of her life. The other day, she told me what she'd really like is to have a "lesbian experience" with me watching and then joining. I'm so crazed with lust that I'm having a hard time thinking straight. This is a kinky dream come true!
After several years and over 3,000 miles of searching, last week it was confirmed that our famed OR-7 is no longer a lone gray wolf. Not only has OR-7 found a mate, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced he has fathered at least two pups — the first wolf pups in southern Oregon in decades. Many wolf advocates and OR-7 fans missed the irony in the agency's announcement.
I'm a fairly boring person by your column's standards in that I've always identified as a straight male into typical relationships. I've realized, after multiple long-term relationships that were unsatisfying, that monogamy isn't for me. I would like to have a main, fulfilling, and committed relationship without limiting myself sexually or emotionally. I've struggled to remain faithful in the past and don't want to cheat on anyone. I just want the rules to fit me so that I don't have to be considered a cheater.
In the Willamette Valley the farmers markets are flush with vegetable garden starts. Our traditional vegetable season starts late because of our typical cool spring but lasts long into the fall. I harvest hot peppers in October. I encourage supporting the local organic farmers by buying well-rooted starts. For a small garden, it seems to make more sense than investing in starting from seed indoors. Only my peas and beans are seeded directly into the ground, one following the other.
New architectural drawings reveal a beautiful, renovated field and grandstand with massive old-growth structural timbers — capturing the vision shared by civic leaders and Works Progress Administration who in 1938 designed and built Civic Stadium for public use.
I have just returned from a celebration of Christmas presented by the Eugene Cascade Chorus. As I write this column, the echo of the words "Let there be peace on Earth" lingers in my mind. If there is anything I could wish for this tired old world, it would be that sentiment.
The stakes are high for Oregonian families in the 2014 elections, and Democrats throughout the state are ready to use cutting-edge, grassroots campaign tools to win the close races in November.
I am currently a senior in high school, but come Saturday, I will be a high-school grad! (Fuck yeah!) The only thing I'm worried about besides my hopes and dreams, and making it in the real world? My sex life. I'm a virgin. When I go online, I see all my friends and peers having these crazy, awesome, smoking-hot sex lives. I am obsessed with this guy in my class. Like all teenage-girl crushes, I can't get him out of my head. I could spot him on the other side of campus in all his tank-top-wearing, soccer-playing glory.
For almost 20 years now I have been participating in a personal boycott of professional spectator sports, electing to watch only amateur college sporting events, particularly those that represent the school from which I graduated. But recently, I have decided to refrain from viewing some of the university-based athletic team sports that represent even my own alma mater, specifically the sports that offer multiple scholarships to out-of-state recruits in order to potentially win championships rather than educate our local youth.
The city is spending a lot of money to see what happens if it shuts down two of the four travel lanes on South Willamette and adds bike lanes on the outer edges. Motorists turning right would need to cross a bike lane, thereby setting up a risky auto/bike dance. One result is likely to be a hike in insurance premiums. But what are the mysterious unmet needs this plan is trying to address? If I had to guess, it would be: 1) Motorists want more than a shopping experience along South Willamette. They also want a memorable driving experience.
I've got a question I doubt you've ever gotten before. It has a bit of everything: sex-work etiquette, long-distance phone interaction, and a het cis chick anxious not to lose her tolerance badge. Here it goes: A few months ago, I started getting hang-up calls from numbers I didn't recognize in Boston. Then weird texts started showing up, trying to set up "dates." I responded to the first few because I figured someone was giving out a fake number that just happened to be mine.
In the U.S. your freedom of — and from — religion is protected. Everyone's is. Under federal law, you have the right to believe or disbelieve whatever you want, to practice (or not) any religion you choose, and to attend the church, synagogue, mosque, temple, coven, or faerie circle of your liking — if any. That's a lot of freedom.
I'm a 25-year-old straight guy. Last month, I was in the locker room at my gym. It was 4 a.m., and I was the only one around. I was getting ready to leave, when I noticed someone exiting the showers. He kinda caught me looking (he was very well-endowed), and I quickly turned my head, embarrassed. About 20 seconds later, he came around the corner and said, "Hey, how ya doin'?" He was still naked, and it was obvious that he was wondering if I wanted to try something.
After Oklahoma botched an execution using lethal injection, at least one other state is thinking about bringing back the firing squad. That might actually be a step forward if juries that impose the death penalty are required to serve as members of the squad.
I am a genetic male with recurrent questions about my gender identity. Straddling desires to maintain my stature in the professional world, keep my wife at my side, and become who I feel like I am, I have experimented with crossdressing, chastity, antiandrogens, and, prior to all that, steroids. While the matrimonial veto has been enacted for some feminine expressions, my wife and I have reached a middle ground where I can pursue sexual and aesthetic androgyny. I have started wearing unisex clothes, stepped up cardio to sculpt a more feminine shape, and am getting hair removal done.
I'm a 21-year-old straight male, and I'm mildly autistic. This means that I have difficulty picking up on social cues. I've learned to manage my disability in most areas of my life, but I've recently become concerned about how it pertains to hooking up. My approach to hooking up is how I imagine most other people's must be: find someone who I can have a flowing conversation with, attempt to flirt with them, and then awkwardly make a move. But a few weeks ago at a party, I was flirting with a girl when I suddenly realized that she was wasted.

Thank you so much for posting this! We had never heard of this before and since reading your post, we contacted the Minneapolis area and are not only going to dine out - but my kids and I are going to 'Adopt a Basket' for their Christmas program.
Thanks again. - 8:06 PM

- - An old injury, maybe. Will it affect her now?
An old injury, maybe. Will it affect her now? My little trail mare is getting more work than she used to as of late (a horseless-friend of mine decided to 'adopt' her for showing purposes, and is also sort of retraining her to respond to leg pressure and such. Ruby always used to be just for little kids to ride and the occasional trail ride.), and so I'm worrying more and more about the condition of her joints and muscles. She has one back leg where the bone looks like it is bowed or has a build up of scar tissue (I can't really decide which), and I'm not sure if it's the result of an old break or injury or what. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/DSCF1537.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/DSCF1536.jpg She's not limping or favoring the leg at all -- never has -- and isn't tender or anything. It doesn't seem to inhibit her in the least, and so I never worried much about it before, but now that she's doing more than walking circles with a kid on her back, or the occasional short trot, I'm worried that putting too much stress on her leg will injure her. I'm planning to ask the vet about it next time he's out, but I don't really see a reason to make a special appointment for it. What do you think? |
If she is not favoring the leg at all, I wouldn't worry about it. It could be from an old injury (kick or fall where she hit it on something) or it could be just a weird bump that developed as her bones grew. If it had been a fracture in the middle of a long bone like that, she would have probably been put down when it happened so the chance of it being an old break is virtually nonexistent. However, on the very slim chance that it was a break and she actually healed up and stayed sound, breaks heal stronger than the bone around them because of the build up of calcified scar tissue on the bone. Let me put it this way... she has a better chance of snapping a front leg than re-breaking a bone that has healed. My old gelding Buck broke a bone in his front pastern and after about 3 months of stall rest and a year of pasture turnout, he was good as new. He was never really used for anything except a kid horse after that though. My dad was too paranoid about hurting him again, plus, by that time, I had claimed him as my own. :D |
It is most likely an old splint. A couple of my barrel horses came to me with them and they were never an issue. |
Thanks, that really puts me at ease. XD I worry over her a lot lately, so that's one less thing to think about. The worst injury we've ever had was a cut, so I don't know a lot about the after-effects of breaks and such. |
;D Buck was my only equine experience but I have had plenty of my own broken bones. |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Since ancient times rulers have used clothing and style to communicate their wealth, power and ideals -- from the cobra headdress worn by pharaohs in Ancient Egypt to the red-heeled shoes favored by Louis XIV to Chairman Mao's simple worker's uniform.
For women leaders, the relationship between clothes and power is especially complex. A new book Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians & Fashion, by fashion writer Robb Young, tackles this theme, deconstructing the wardrobes of history's most powerful females -- from Hatshepsut to Hillary Clinton. Consisting of 50 profiles and 500 color photographs, it is an entertaining, thoughtful account of the role of clothing in politics, and the myriad ways -- good, bad and ugly -- that women all over the world have used it to communicate their ideas and their power. (Check out the slide show for more on these leaders' styles.)
I recently spoke with Young about politics, fashion and how to dress for success. The following is excerpted from our conversation.
In your introduction, you call fashion -- particularly when discussed in relation to politics -- the "f-word." Why, when people are more interested in fashion than ever before, is it still such a controversial topic?
I think it remains taboo partly because clothes and grooming are, subconsciously at least, often interpreted as artifice. ... Politics wants to present itself as a serious and sincere institution about substantive issues, rather than a popularity contest based on what the contenders look like. That's why giving attention to fashion potentially undermines it all – because politicians need the public to believe that their authority is earned and legitimate.
But the fact is that the right fashion on the right politician in the right circumstances can be mighty powerful political currency -- and the opposite is even more true.
You write that in the past few years we've seen a major shift in how women dress in the political arena -- that they no longer feel the need to blend in with the boys. Why do you think that is?
I think it's down to the accumulative confidence, courage and sometimes recklessness of contemporary women politicians who are using fashion in different ways -- like Gabriele Pauli in Germany, Michela Vittoria Brambilla in Italy, Quentin Bryce in Australia, [former Ukrainian Prime Minister] Yulia Tymoshenko and Rachida Dati in France. The U.S. and the U.K. have remained more puritanical about this, but thanks to globalization I think that many of these boundary-pushing international women are much more on the radar of some of America's up-and-coming Congresswomen and British MPs.
There is also now the youngest generation coming up who are even bolder than their predecessors. Take [German politician] Agnes Malczak. With her hennaed hair, elaborate gothic eye makeup and nose and lip piercings, she looks like a cross between a new-age hippie and an emo-band fan. But in 2009, when she was just 24, she was elected to the German parliament -- and not as some eccentric novelty candidate. The public seems to have gotten over its initial shock rather quickly and, generally, her peers take her seriously.
Your book not only included typical examples of power dressing -- Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher -- but a wide range of different ways women communicate power. Was there anything -- a particular politician or outfit -- you came across that particularly shocked or inspired you?

Kris Jenner: I Really Want Kourtney and Scott to Get Married!
Kourtney Kardashian is adamant she doesn't want to marry longtime beau Scott Disick, but her mother, Kris Jenner, is still holding out hope her daughter will walk down the aisle sometime soon.
VIDEO: Why Kourtney won't marry Scott
"I would love for Kourtney and Scott to get married," Jenner, 55, said on Friday's episode of The Talk. "I have such a fantasy that she's going to have the same kind of life that I've had, and making that commitment to somebody makes your relationship very strong, even though it's just a piece of paper."
Despite her mother's wishes, Kardashian -- who has a 21-month-old son, Mason, with Disick -- says she's just fine without saying "I do."
PHOTOS: See Kourtney, Scott and Mason at Kim's wedding
"I definitely don't want to get married just for the sake of getting married," she reasoned on an episode of the family's reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, last summer, even after her boyfriend went so far as to shop for engagement rings. "This is my life. I don't need a piece of paper to make it a family unit."
Jenner argues that she just wants her daughter and Disick to experience the same happy marriage she has with former Olympian Bruce Jenner.

"I just feel so lucky and I want my kids to experience the same things," she said on The Talk, breaking down in tears. "When you have that love, you want to set an example and [let your children] experience that same kind of love."

Glaciers are retreating. Ice caps are melting. Oceans are acidifying. The Arctic is under threat from both climate change and increased oil drilling.
This week is all about your creativity against corporate greed. The little guys against the giants. Greenpeace will take on Shell across the world but we can't win this one without you
The Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the globe and is experiencing some of the most severe climate impacts on Earth. One of the most notable is the rapid decline in the thickness and extent of sea ice.
The Arctic region is under threat from Climate Change, increased exploitation, and a lot more.
You can find here Greenpeace reports and briefings about the Arctic.
Every year in mid-September, eyes turn north to find out what the minimum sea ice extent is and find out how it compares with previous years.
Pechora Sea — The Russian Coast Guard has boarded the Greenpeace International ship Arctic Sunrise and is arresting the 25 activists on board following a protest against Gazprom's Arctic oil drilling operations.
The historic 1991 agreement to prohibit all mineral extraction in Antarctica for 50 years set an example for a new relationship with planet Earth.
As the decline in Arctic sea ice opens historically closed routes such as the Northwest and Northeast Passages, questions arise regarding security and safety.

Shrimp Martini Garnishing Tips
Shrimp martini is an all time favorite preparation to serve in any occasion. You can garnish this special martini in several savory ways. Shrimp, of course, is the most popular garnish, but you can add other choices of garnish to make it more exotic. Read on to learn about them.
You will require some common kitchen tools like paring knife, grater, kitchen shears etc. The requirement of kitchen tools might vary depending on the garnish you are using. For cutting and shaping the garnishes, a paring knife or vegetable knife is most essential requirement. Grater or zester will be necessary for grating cheese or preparing lemon peel zest. Use the kitchen shears to shape up the shrimps, herbs etc. A bunch of toothpicks might be required for securing the garnishes on the martini glass.
Exotic Garnishing Ideas for Shrimp Martini
Shrimp and Lemon Garnish
To garnish the shrimp martini, place 5-6 shrimps on the glass rim. Add lemon wedges or slices in between or on extreme sides. You can also pierce the shrimps and lemon slices in a toothpick and place the toothpick in the martini glass. Alternately, drop the shrimps and lemon slices to float on the martini. To add a stronger lemony flavor, add few drops of fresh lemon juice into the drink, before serving.
Shrimp and Avocado Garnish
With a sharp paring knife, cut the pitted and peeled avocado in cubes. Mix with shrimps and add to the martini. Crumble tortilla chips on top. Add lime juice, and combine the mixture thoroughly. Alternately, skew the avocado pieces and shrimps in a stirrer and place it on the drink for garnishing purpose.
Shrimp and Cilantro Garnish
A fresh sprig of cilantro is just ideal to give a complete touch to the shrimp martini. Place the cilantro sprig just beside the shrimps or secure it in a toothpick with few shrimps. You can also chop the cilantro and sprinkle on the martini. You can make the drink more extra-ordinary by placing couple of polenta fries or finger chips inside the drink.
Useful Garnishing Tips for Shrimp Martini
- Always use fresh and cooked shrimps for preparing the martini. Remember to devein the shrimps properly, before using.
- Place the shrimps in refrigerator to chill, before using as garnish.
- Use ripe and firm avocado for the best garnishing result. Peel off the skin and remove the seed before chopping off. Dip the avocado cubes in lemon water to retain the freshness.
- Wash the cilantro sprigs thoroughly in cold running water and then gently pat dry in paper towels.
- On top of these choices, you can also use olives, cherry tomato, pearl onion, Meyer lemon, tangerine etc for preparing the garnishes.
All these garnishing ideas and tips are just sufficient to make you inspired for serving shrimp martini in your next occasion. However, make sure to prepare in ample quantity as these are going to get finished within moments of serving.

The article describes with the help of a Windows application how Lotus Notes can be integrated with .NET using Lotus Notes Interop.
The Lotus Notes .NET Interop provides a way of communication between the Microsoft .NET platform and Lotus Notes client and dominos server. It supports access to Lotus Notes documents and views, and allows you to write various applications, for example, Web form, Windows form, and console applications within Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. You can use all Common Language Runtime (CLR) programming languages such as Visual Basic .NET, C#, or Managed C++.
At runtime, the Lotus Notes interop fetches the data as requested using the Interop classes, i.e. NotesViewEntryCollection, NotesViewEntry and NotesDocument. These classes for Lotus Notes clients provides .NET developers with a familiar way to use Lotus Notes functionality. Using the code, developers can access Lotus Notes documents and can integrate Lotus Notes capabilities to any external applications.
This article assumes that you have basic understanding of Lotus Notes.
The example demonstrates how to fetch information regarding 'Contacts' from user contacts and central contacts database.
In our sample code, we have added few textboxes for configuration of Lotus Notes client, a Button to Start Searching contacts and a Listbox control to list out the results.
// // Code snippet for establishing a Lotus notes session // //Lotus Notes Object Creation _lotesNotesSession = new Domino.NotesSessionClass(); //Initializing Lotus Notes Session _lotesNotesSession.Initialize( NotesPassword ); //Creating Lotus Notes DataBase Object _localDatabase = _lotesNotesSession.GetDatabase( "", "names.nsf", false ); //creating Lotus Notes Contact View _contactsView = _localDatabase.GetView( "Contacts" ); if( FetchServerData ) { _lotusNotesServerSession = new Domino.NotesSessionClass(); _lotusNotesServerSession.Initialize( NotesPassword ); //Creating Lotus Notes DataBase Object _serverDatabase = _lotusNotesServerSession.GetDatabase ( DominoServerName, "names.nsf", false ); //creating Lotus Notes Contact View _peopleView = _serverDatabase.GetView( "$People" ); } }//end if(FetchServerData )
(Please take note here that while establishing a session, we only provide userpassword and servername, we don't provide username as the last user login into Lotus client is always taken as the userId.)
// // //Code snippet for iterating through the views and fetching data // NotesViewEntryCollection notesViewCollection =LotusNotesView.AllEntries; for( int rowCount = 1; rowCount <= notesViewCollection.Count; rowCount++ ) { //Get the nth entry of the selected view according to the iteration. NotesViewEntry viewEntry = notesViewCollection.GetNthEntry( rowCount ); //Get the first document of particular entry. NotesDocument document = viewEntry.Document; object documentItems = document.Items; Array itemArray1 = (System.Array)documentItems; for( int itemCount=0 ; itemCount< itemArray1.Length; itemCount++ ) { NotesItem notesItem = (Domino.NotesItem)itemArray1.GetValue( itemCount ); //compare field value with specific value entered by user if( notesItem.Text !=null ) { if( (notesItem.Text.ToUpper()).StartsWith( fieldValue )) { Contact contact = new Contact(); for( int icount=0 ; icount< itemArray1.Length; icount++ ) { NotesItem searchedNotesItem = (Domino.NotesItem)itemArray1.GetValue( icount ); string FieldName = searchedNotesItem.Name.ToString(); //For FirstName if( searchedNotesItem.Name == "FirstName" ) contact.FirstName= searchedNotesItem.Text; //For LastName if( searchedNotesItem.Name == "LastName" ) contact.LastName = searchedNotesItem.Text; //For Office Phone Number if( searchedNotesItem.Name == "OfficePhoneNumber" ) contact.OfficePhoneNumber = searchedNotesItem.Text; if( searchedNotesItem.Name == "InternetAddress" ) contact.EmailId = searchedNotesItem.Text; }//end for contactsList.Add( contact ); break; }//End if } } }
If you see in the above code snippet NotesViewEntry, NotesDocument, NotesItem classes are used to create the objects for Lotus Notes driver data access. So the code snippet and the sample application demonstrates how easily one can integrate Lotus Notes accessing capabilities into an application.
NotesViewEntry, NotesDocument, NotesItem
// // //Code snippet for popping open a document/contact in lotus notes client // //ContactId is the Main thing : //this is the universaldocumentID which uniquely identifies this //if the contacts is on the server if( IsServerData ) { notesUrl="Notes://"+LotusNotesServer+"/names.nsf/0/"+ContactId; } else { //local data notesUrl="Notes:///names.nsf/0/"+ContactId; } string lotusNotesPath = ReadRegistry(); if( lotusNotesPath!="" ) { lotusNotesPath = lotusNotesPath+"notes"; System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( lotusNotesPath,notesUrl ); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep( 500 ); }

Cody Gifford Grows Up
Kathie Lee's son is a movie critic now!
-Jane Farrell
Get ready for Cody Gifford! The hunky 20-year-old son of Kathie Lee Gifford is doing movie reviews for the portion of The Today Show that's hosted by his mom.
We just love it when showbiz kids claw their way to the top.
Cody is perhaps the only guy in the U.S. who's had his diaper doings chronicled by his mother on national television, back when Kathie Lee co-hosted Live with Regis Philbin. (Somehow, we see years of therapy related to this.)
Kathie Lee got her only son into showbiz early; the month after he was born, in March 1990, she brought him onto the Live stage and had a little gold star with his name on the dressing-room door. Some viewers loved Kathie Lee's obsessive reports, others hated them.
Read Kathie Lee and Hoda Go Bare on TV
Now Cody, who looks about as clean-cut as Donny Osmond in his early days, is Today's "resident film student," doing brief movie reviews every Friday—by talking with his mom. He's set to continue his appearances throughout the summer, and if a recent segment is any indication , he's got a long way to go before giving Gene Shalit any competition.
Reviewing Marmaduke, Cody's main statement was that it was "fun for the kids." (We'd already figured that out, thanks.) And he called Get Him to the Greek "raunchy," admitting he'd seen the first half hour with Kathie Lee. "It's weird, watching sex with you," he said to his mother.
Er, yes. We understand perfectly. (AOL)

The City has contracted with National Meter and Automation, Inc. on a five-year program to upgrade the water meter system. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 4, the contractor will be replacing water meters and installing automated meter reading devices at 150,000 homes.
The installation staff will be easily identifiable. All of the installers will wear green safety shirts as part of their uniform, and they will drive trucks with the City's and National Meter's logos. Each installer will also have a badge to identify them as a contractor for the City of Wichita.
Customers will be notified by the installers prior to any changes to the water meters. During the installation process, a customer can expect to be without water for up to 15 minutes.
The new equipment is part of a five-year plan to upgrade the existing meter infrastructure in order to improve the billing experience for Wichita water customers. It will result in more accurate and timely bills, and usage data to detect leaks and increase conservation.

I had an iPad 2 64gb Verizon and I used it for a while but I always wanted the Retina Display. I guess you could say I'm a technology fan so I like to have the latest and the greatest. I recently sold it on eBay for about $400 dollars and was looking to upgrade. I don't use cellular but I bought it just for resale value. Now I was faced with the decision whether to get the 3 or 4 . I was reading some reviews and I saw that the 3 is pretty good but its just like the iPad 2 but with better graphics performance. I'm a little weird as ill usually download a lot of games but I won't even play them that much. Usually my brother or sister play them and I just have them to have them. The iPad has recently become my companion in school though. (Freshmen in college ) I usually download the power points for class to study from. On the 64gb iPad I had about 35GB free and I don't want to waste that much space and Money. My real dilemma is the resale values for iPads as good for wifi Only models. I was aiming to get a 64gb iPad 3 on verizon for about $500 but I was thinking I might as well get an iPad 4 with lesser space, and then sell the 4 as 5 comes out. ALSO I'm aiming for used at these prices LOL Also, I don't really mind waiting to get the greatest I just like to casually update may be in the middle of the life cycle so I won't be selling the new iPad I get immediately as iPad 5 comes out. Basically should I just Get iPad 4 32gb Wifi or does the Wifi +4g have much greater resale Value? I don't use cellular data I just want to be able to recoup most of the cash I spend on the device. Also, for any of you guys who have bought or traded up which do you think is better iPad 3 or 4? Thanks Guys I really appreciate the responses.
So confused at your post. You bought cellular, didnt need it and only got it for resale. Now you're saying you might casually upgrade but want to know which one is best for resale. It's one thing to buy the latest and greatest by reselling your old items. It's another thing to buy something you don't need and hope to resell it. Rant over, iPad 4 for best resale. Go with the 16GB. That sells better to a majority of consumers.
Rather than just focus on the resale value, you should consider how much you are paying up front. Apple is selling cheap iPad 3 refurbs in their online store right now. While the 4 will command a higher resale value -- you'll also be paying full price for it to start with. In other words, if your intent is to sell it when the iPad 5 is released then I'd just go for the refurb iPad 3. Most users do not report a huge difference in performance between the two--and they look almost exactly alike.
You should purchase the iPad tailored for your current and near future needs, not resale value. Since no one knows what Apple plans for the next upgrade cycle, it is not smart to purchase any IOS device on the premise of resale value. Look what happened to the iPad 3. Six months after release, Apple released the iPad 4, instantly reducing its resale value (currently $299 new at Target).
While the 4 has better resale due to it being newer, but the money you save buying a 3 cancels that out.
Agree with the others, focusing only on what you get at resell ignores your cost, i.e the best resale value would be the 128Gb iPad 4 LTE. This is the worst SKU to get if you're thinking about reselling every cycle, though. The right question is where will I lose the least amount of money. By far, you'll lose the least amount of money buying a mint used or refurbished 16Gb iPad 3. If you want a 4, buy a mint used 16Gb iPad 4.
If I were you, I would go on the hunt for a cheap, used iPad 3. I managed to snag one locally a few months ago via Craigslist for $325 (32 GB) with a warranty until August of this year. I'm fairly certain I'll be able to get at least that out of it if I turn around and sell it when the next generation is released. Now, that may not be representative of all deals to be had, but if you're worried about resale value, I think the key is to buy cheaply, at least to the point where depreciation won't catch up with what you paid by the time you go to sell it.
I was thinking a 4 32gb I saw some for about 450. I think 16gb is a littl to small for comfort why do you guys suggest 16gb.
I would go with the 4 over the 3. It is new and will be better able to take OS updates. Not to mention it has the lightning connector.
I was reading some articles /rumours and they think the iPad 5 week come oy in match is this possible?
if you want to believe that, then i have a bridge to sell you. you sure that wasn't an ipad3 32 gb? there's no way that an ipad4 32gb would sell that low unless it was stolen.
Just my opinion here. You are currently invested in some way in the old 18/19/20/2000 whatever it is pin connector. Buy an iPad 4 now would mean you would have to invest something in the lightening connector. Since is seems that an iPad 3 WiFi 32GB will meet all your needs for at least the year, I recommend you buy a refurb unit off of Apple's ebay refurb store. That way you will avoid having to pay sales tax. Sell your ipad 2 and start saving so you can get an iPad 5 when they are eventually ready for sale. As far as resale value goes, from what I've noticed on ebay by watch iPhone 4S auctions, I only see about a $25 difference in price between the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models in similar used conditions. This leads me to believe that people buying use Apple products are usually trying to get the cheapest price possible and capability/features is second. So I'd recommend getting the least expensive version you can and avoid additional memory or cellular if you don't need it as neither adds much to resale value. This is just my $0.02.
I already have 4 lightning cables for my iPod touch 5th generation and a few 30 pin which are useless how. I never invested in other Peripherals that were pin only. Anyway I just bought an iPad fourth-generation 32 GB Wi-Fi only on eBay for about $ 567 so I'm pretty happy. Hopefully Apple keeps signing 6.1 so I can jailbreak ---------- Yeah got the iPad 4 ☺
The best cost basis resale value is always the lowest end wifi model. Say iPad 3 16gb. I think $299 target.com (probably sold out now). U can easily resell for $200-250 when new iPad comes out. So taking only a $50-100 hit Vs. iPad 4 929 128gb LTE model. You maybe lucky to get $750 for it when iPad 5 comes out. Maybe $700. U would be taking close to a $200 hit for resell.

It looks like Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves had some fun in the sun this weekend! On Aug. 10, the newlyweds soaked up the rays in Ibiza, Spain with Bono and his wife Alison Hewson. The couples, along with their families, boarded the Cirque Du Soleil yacht and headed out to sea for the afternoon.
Matthew and Camila are definitely having the best summer ever! Apart from tying the knot in a low-key ceremony, the two are also expecting their third child. And by the looks of these pics, it seems like they're still celebrating!

What does a big, gay, bearded white guy have in common with Cee Lo Green on "The Voice"? They both can do a killer rendition of "Forget You."
"I had to turn around to see who this brave individual was," Green joked after hearing the Texan's performance on his song.
Nakia, the 36-year-old from Austin came to the show with the hope that he can pay his partner back for supporting his singing career. Now, that's one hell of a touching intro story, isn't it? And we think he definitely put himself on the right path by tackling Green's hit and killing on it.
Nakia created a battle between coaches Green and Blake Shelton, who both felt that the performer could be the "exception to the rule."
"You look nothing like how I expected," Shelton says. "I didn't expect to turn around and feel threatened. But those are the things that make you an artist, the unique things."
He ended up going with the guy who wrote the song that got him there: Green, naturally. Oh, and here's a little trivia for you: Nakia is the only singer on the show who performed one of the coach's songs and had that coach pick him.
Didn't Nakia make it hard to forget him?

There has never been a better time to quit tobacco. All FEHB plans offer 100% coverage to help you quit once and for all.
Tobacco users who quit greatly reduce their risk for disease and premature death, improve their health and quality of life, and increase their life expectancy. Quitting tobacco results in both immediate and long-term health benefits. While health benefits are greater for tobacco users who stop at earlier ages, cessation is beneficial at all ages. Quitting smoking is the single most important action that smokers can take to protect their own and their families' health. Just two to three weeks after quitting, breathing becomes easier and after a year, the risk for heart disease is lowered by 50 percent. Eliminating second hand smoke from the house also decreases the risk for heart attacks and asthma in non-smokers. For pregnant women, quitting smoking greatly increases the chances that they will give birth to a healthy baby.

When we create the very first edition as a child of ORA$BASE, and grant some package to it or re-compile some package, this package gets assigned to our new edition as expected:
create edition v36 as child of ora$base;
alter session set edition=v36;
grant execute on P_CONF_MERCH_ETL to IHUB_ETL;
Now, what is the pro and con of running a LOGON trigger to enable v36 for all new logon to Oracle, vs. doing ALTER SYSTEM SET DEFAULT EDITION = v36 ?
and how can we 'purge' older editions, if every new edition we create always 'is a child of ' the older edition? Oracle will not let us drop those older editions, and is this a problem at all, if say we create 20 new editions per year, for 5 years?
How do we manage completely non-editionable objects such as TYPES and AQ queues, and sequences? anything special to consider as we implement EBR for all of our OWNER schema for these non-editionable types? I know function based index will raise an error because INDEX is non-editionable, and function is, so if you can re-write the function as a inline CREATE INDEX expression, it will solve the issue. but what if you cannot?
sorry, that is more than 1 question.. Purging EBR is the main question.
thanks in advance!

An ex-employee of Copia Urban Winery and Market, the Washington Avenue dining spot that was lost in an early-morning blaze last December, faces federal arson charges.
U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway announced the indictment this morning against 26-year-old Gilbert Summers, a "back bar" worker who had been at Copia only a month or two and was a long-rumored suspect.
Summers faces two counts of arson, each carrying a maximum penalty of up to twenty years, or fines of $250,000. According to Hanaway, investigators believe there were actually three fires: one in the adjacent Vanguard Loft at 1110 Washington Avenue, one in a storage area at Copia and a third in the banquet room/back patio. Walking down the alley, one can still see soot on the walls outside Copia, and the charred mess inside the locked patio.
Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms arrested Summers late Thursday afternoon. Hanaway attributed the six-month delay to the federal system, in which all evidence is gathered before making an arrest.
Joining Hanaway in the press conference at the Thomas F. Eagleton Federal Courts Building, top brass of the St. Louis fire and police departments thanked the front-line people who helped bring the case. "Arson is particularly difficult because many times the points of origin are inaccessible to us," St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Joe Mokwa said.
Mokwa made a point of acknowledging the department's crime lab. "They were instrumental in this case, and I'm proud of them," he said.
Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson commended the first responders, who heeded the suspicion of arson and limited the amount of damage they added to the building.
Oddly, though, it was Hanaway's office that netted the case. Many of the destroyed business "supplies" were involved in interstate commerce. Could that be wine?

Your donations keep RPGWatch running!
IGN - 20 Most Anticipated for 2012
January 26th, 2012, 01:54
IGN asks their editors to choose their most anticipated games for 2012, resulting in a list of 20 games across a variety of platforms. A handful of RPG / RPG-ish games made the cut, such as Reckoning:
Ryan Clements: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning launches on February 7th. Now only weeks away, this massive RPG shows more promise than most other games hitting the market this year. It glitters with loot and gold, it carries magnificent lore penned by R.A. Salvatore, and it hammers the player with battles steeped in strategy. There is no greater joy than exploring a new, fantastical world with a character of your creation, fateless and shrouded in magic.More information.
January 26th, 2012, 01:54
Only game on the list I have any interest in is Koa.
No risen 2, hitman absolution, Max Payne 3 or metro last light. Unless these are slipping out of 2012.

Risen 2 and Kings Bounty Warriors of the North would be the two I will buy as soon as they are released, though neither made the IGN list. I will probably get the Last of Us at some point as I have liked Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. I just got the demo today of KoA so will see if that interests me after trying it.
January 26th, 2012, 05:18
Avernum > all of those. Reckoning will keep me amused for a bit, but I plan on playing Avernum about 4-5 times, easily. I almost bought a Mac for that game!
January 27th, 2012, 10:11
Although i hate consoles i do own a PS3 ( for Sunday PES league ) so i will give "The Last of Us" a go , i am not looking forward for any of the rest .

The Bible begins and ends with a revelation of God that gives redemption its basis. From the first verse of Genesis, the book of origins, we encounter a God of personality, character, purpose, and activity. Only in the light of what he shows us of himself as the Creator of our world and the Interactor with human history does the salvation story assume its proper context. Genesis sets things in order: God first, then us.
In the words of the general editor's preface, "Especially after the Tower of Babel it became evident that people had forgotten who God was. They needed reminding. The moves God made were essentially concerned with putting himself in front of the world's peoples." Today, perhaps more than ever, we need God to put himself in front of us—to remind us who he is, and that he is.
With characteristic creativity and uncommon depth, John H. Walton demonstrates the timeless relevance of Genesis. Revealing the links between Genesis and our own times, Dr. Walton shows how this mysterious, often baffling book filled with obscure peoples and practices reveals truth to guide our 21st-century lives.
Scripture references are linked directly to Greek and Hebrew texts, along with the English Bible translations of your choice. For any word in any language, you can double-click on that word and your digital library will automatically search your lexicons for a match. That gives you unprecedented access to linguistic data, along with all the tools you need for exegesis and interpretation.

rooms & spa | Move your mouse over the drawings to see pics of our rooms and spa. Click on the description to find out more about our six different types of rooms: Studios, Kitchenettes, Studio Themes, Big King Themes, Suites, and The Archaeologist's Digs (our stand-alone cottage). |
When you walk into your room at The Roxbury, we want you to smile. Whether you call it cool design, whimsical elegance, or our favorite -- decadently over-the-top - were all about design at The Roxbury and how it makes you feel. We designed our first whimsical suite, The Shagadellic, not knowing how people would respond to a lot of orange and yellow and a furry zebra-print couch. Will it be too bright? Will they think its silly? Will it give them a headache? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Well, que sera sera, the response has been so overwhelming that it gave us the guts to design THREE major expansions around fun, (yet elegant - one must never forget elegance) theme rooms inspired by a famous TV series, film or cartoon of the 1960s or 70s. The key word here is inspired by. We did not wish to recreate sets or exact replicas of the shows. We just allowed ourselves to get lost in the colors and textures and moods and whimsy of the shows. And we admit, yes, some of it had to do with fantasizing about what it would be like to be inside a genies bottle or on top of a cloud or in a cartoon space home.
This does not mean, however, that our original rooms are not also a cool experience. We learned a lot from our original rooms, and like firstborn children, we continue to nurture them and hold them dear to us because they were our first. Maturity is a good thing.
