As with any other ETF, the number of shares outstanding for a leveraged loan ETF fluctuates based on supply and demand. However, the mechanism for share creation/redemption is slightly different for BKLN, in that it is cash based between the fund administrator and the market maker. Instead of providing a basket of securities in exchange for new ETF shares, the market maker simply provides cash. The administrator uses these proceeds to purchase loans in the secondary market while issuing the corresponding shares to the market maker. For share create transactions in amounts less than $25mn, the market maker is assessed a 50bp fee on top of NAV, which is calculated at 5:00pm each day based on mid-market loan pricing from Markit. For transactions in amounts greater than $25mn, the actual offer-tomid transaction costs incurred by the administrator are passed along to the market maker. These have averaged closer to 25bp under typical market conditions and are capped at 50bp regardless, making larger transactions more cost effective for the market maker.
For redemption transactions, the process is simply reversed. The market maker surrenders shares to the fund administrator, which then sells the corresponding loan assets in the secondary market and returns the shares' NAV to the market maker in cash, minus a 50bp fee for transactions under $25mn, or minus the actual mid-to-bid transaction costs incurred by the fund company for transactions greater than $25mn, subject to a 50bp cap.
During both processes, the fund administrator incurs the risk associated with intraday market fluctuations. Given that the transaction costs passed along to market makers can be materially lower for larger orders, the loan ETF market has built-in economies of scale that should help to encourage further growth. However, the lack of in-kind create/redeems could act as an inhibitor to growth by limiting arb activity. Nevertheless, as the product gains acceptance over time, we expect loan ETFs to become an increasingly important source of leveraged loan demand and to provide a potentially more liquid alternative to LCDX as a way to hedge market risk.

Sydney: Oct 31, 2013
Australian opener Chris Rogers wants a steady partner at the top of the order for the Ashes 2013-14 series against England and has his eye on David Warner.
The veteran left-hander was a regular feature during the mid-year Ashes 2013 series in England on his recall five years after his only previous Test, and he proved to be one of the team's few success stories.
Rogers, who opened alongside Shane Watson for the first half of the tour, before teaming up with Warner, said a regular long-term partner would be beneficial.
"It's a tough job opening the batting and you need support from the guy down the other end, so a bit of familiarity is a good thing," he told Australian Associated Press on Wednesday.
But he admitted it was up to himself and Warner to make that happen.
While Warner's recent Test form has been mediocre, Rogers expects his recent stellar one-day domestic form to translate into the game's longer version.
"That will give him a lot of confidence and he's that kind of guy," Rogers said of Warner, who was left out of Australia's ongoing one-day tour to India but has excelled for his state New South Wales (NSW), cracking three centuries.
"If he's scoring runs and feeling loved and supported then he'll enjoy that."
Rogers, 36, added that it was satisfying to enter a summer having finally proved he can perform at Test level.
"The whole thing about when you haven't played it, the question is whether you are good enough … once the runs start coming and the pressure kind of lifts a little bit then you can start to enjoy it," he said.
England play the first of five Test matches in Brisbane at the Gabba from November 21.

Most Read on Bloomberg: Stocks Drop, Banker Quits, Gross Speaks
Audrey BarkerThe following list comprises the of the most-read stories. Lists are based on daily statistics through Friday, April 11.
1. Nasdaq Falls Most Since 2011 as Tech Selloff Resumes; Bonds Gain
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell, with the Nasdaq Composite Index sinking the most since 2011, as technology shares resumed a selloff on concern valuations are too high as earnings season begins. Treasury rates sank to a three-week low on speculation interest-rate increases won't be accelerated.
2. S&P 500 Erases 2014 Gain as Tech Slide Worsens; Treasuries Rise
April 7 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell, pushing the Nasdaq 100 Index to its biggest three-day retreat since 2011, as technology and consumer shares extended last week's slide. European equities fell from a six-year high and Treasuries rose.
3. Bill Gross Ponders Future of Pimco After El-Erian's Departure
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- There is no one who talks quite like Bill Gross, the co-founder of Pimco.
4. Banker Dumps Wall Street to Boost Taxes on New York Millionaires
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- The reason Gus Christensen looks like an investment banker is that he was one until four months ago. A handshake reveals a shirt monogram over the wrist, an Omega watch and lapis cuff links he got on a JPMorgan Chase & Co. trip to Chile.
5. U.S. Stocks Fall as JPMorgan Misses; Treasuries, Oil Advance
April 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index headed for the worst week since January, as technology shares extended a selloff and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s results disappointed. Treasuries rose, while oil hit a five-week high.
6. JPMorgan Profit Falls 19% on Trading, Mortgage Revenue Drop
April 11 (Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. bank, said first-quarter profit fell 19 percent on lower revenue from fixed-income trading and mortgages, themes that may be repeated across Wall Street next week. The shares declined 2.9 percent.
7. Federal Reserve Plays Down Own Forecasts for Rate Increase
April 9 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve played down forecasts by some of its own policy makers that interest rates might rise faster than they previously predicted.
8. Goldman Alum Gives Up Funds to Become Trailer-Park Mogul
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- When Dan Weissman worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and, later, at a hedge fund, he didn't have to worry about methamphetamine addicts chasing his employees with metal pipes. Or SWAT teams barging into his workplace looking for arsonists.
9. U.S. Stocks Rise as Tech Rebounds; Gold, Oil Lead Commodity Gain
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks gained as a recovery in technology shares helped the Nasdaq 100 Index rebound from its worst three-day drop since 2011. Oil, gold and Treasuries rose while the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index slid to a five-month low.
10. JPMorgan's Masters Said to Have Angled for CEO Post in Unit Sale
April 11 (Bloomberg) -- When JPMorgan Chase & Co. set out to sell its powerhouse commodities unit, the group's boss, Blythe Masters, made it clear that she wanted to go along with the business and continue as its chief.
1. Teens Are Trading Naked Selfies for Mugshots: Margaret Carlson
April 9 (Bloomberg) -- Will teenagers ever learn? You think yours will. Maybe so. But it's likely that was also the hope of the parents of children who were so shamed by nude photos of themselves that went south -- how else can they go -- that they killed themselves.
2. What Doesn't Kill JPMorgan Makes Dimon Stronger: Jonathan Weil
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- There are many requisite qualifications for being a member of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s board. A sense of irony might not be one of them.
3. How Malaysia Can Limit Harm From Lost Flight 370: William Pesek
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama always knew his Asia tour later this month would be fraught with political landmines. The two nations that lead off his itinerary -- U.S. allies Japan and South Korea -- have been squabbling for more than a year over World War II history. Another, the Philippines, is one of Asia's economic bright spots even as President Benigno Aquino's government is locked into a dangerous maritime territorial spat with China -- a country Obama would rather not antagonize.
4. Feds Tell Wall Street Nobody's Too Big to Jail: William D. Cohan
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Preet Bharara's March 31 speech was little noticed outside a small gathering of legal and compliance executives in Manhattan. He delivered it on the day Wall Street and the financial news media were obsessing over the contention in Michael Lewis's latest book that high-frequency traders have "rigged" the stock market.
5. Best Speech Ever About How the SEC Really Works: Jonathan Weil
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Before today, I had never heard of Jim Kidney. And I certainly hope this isn't the last time I do.
1. Kuroda Says Confident BOJ Can Achieve Price Target
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda talks about monetary policy and the nation's economy.

3. Yankees' Win Clouded by Substance on Pineda's Hand

3750 Acquinsicke Place, White Plains, Charles County
Period/Date of Construction:
c. 1783-1798
Acquinsicke is a rectangular, two-story, five-bay, clapboarded frame dwelling with one-story additions to each end. With a northeast-southwest axis, the house stands on brick foundations enclosing a full cellar, and its one-room-deep, central passage plan is repeated on both principal floor levels as well as the finished attic. A boldly corbeled interior chimney stack stands at each end of the building's gable roof, servicing fireplaces in the first floor, second floor, and attic rooms. All of the existing exterior finishes are contemporary with an extensive post-1934 rehabilitation. The southeast facade is five bays wide with a central entrance. Windows have 6/6 sash in the outer two bays on each floor. The center bay of the second floor holds a small window above a large tripartite window between the first and second floors. On the interior, the building's original floor plan remains undisturbed, although most of the trim, including mantels and doors, reflect renovations that occurred in the mid and late 19th century and the late 1930s; however, the main stair, which rises in four flights to the attic, and the mantel and the trim of its flanking alcove in the first floor north room are original. Other early features include some of the baseboards, most of the trim of the attic chambers, and all of the flooring except that in the first floor south room. As part of the building's late 1930s rehabilitation a one-story, gable-roofed, kitchen-service wing was added at the northeast end of the house. About 20 years later a one-story, semi-hipped-roofed sunporch was built at the opposite end. Despite the 20th century changes, the integrity of the 18th century portion of the house as it existed in 1934 has been preserved. A detached frame garage, built about 1940 or 1950, stands off the north end of the house and at a right angle to it. Historic landscape features include a series of two terraced falls to the south and southwest of the house.
In a local context, Acquinsicke, built between 1783 and 1798, is a highly significant example of late 18th century, early Federal architecture. Exceedingly few examples of domestic architectural forms survive in this locality that illustrate as well as Acquinsicke the transitional phase between wholly vernacular building customs and those buildings whose carpentry and overall designs were clearly influenced by outside sources. In this regard, Acquinsicke's one-room-deep central passage plan, full two story height, finished and heated attic chambers, and boldly corbeled and plaster banded chimney stacks are of particular interest. Viewed singly, each of these details is unusual in a local, late-18th century architectural context; collectively, they establish Acquinsicke as wholly unique.

Is Microsoft going back in time with Windows 7, before Windows Vista, and resurrecting bits and pieces of Longhorn? Could the crumbs of the original Longhorn project that were discarded on the way to Vista make the mother of all comebacks in Windows 7? Well, there are no official details from Microsoft pointing to the validity of this scenario, but the company did manage to leak just enough for such a perspective to be valid. In January 2008, while working to wrap up the RTM builds of Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP1 and XP SP3, Microsoft dropped Milestone 1 of Windows 7 in the laps of a selected group of partners.
The leaked Windows 7 M1 Ultimate Edition Build 6.1.6519.1 offers only
a superficial evolution in comparison to Windows Vista. And is in fact not even a standalone platform, having to be installed on top of Vista. But at the same time, it does offer a sneak peek into the elements Microsoft plans to integrate in the successor of Windows Vista. One such clue is the HomeGroup. Designed to offer centralization of photos, music, videos and printers across the computers in the same household network, the HomeGroup is strangely reminiscent of the Longhorn Castle.
"The 'castle' feature allows users to have the networking functionality of the domain, including roaming the user's profile, machine trust and having a consistent user identity throughout the network. The main difference with Castle is that users do not have to setup a dedicated machine, such as a domain controller, to maintain the trust and identity relationship. It also makes it easy to share and access files on those computers. Each computer on the same subnet can discover and join an existing castle. Or, the user can create a Castle," Microsoft revealed.
"To join an existing castle, you must know the login credentials of an administrator account already part of the castle. Only non-blank passwords can grant access. This helps ensure only authorized computers join the castle (use of strong passwords for administrator accounts is highly recommended). When a computer joins a castle, the accounts on that computer will be added to the list of accounts accessible from any computer in the castle. User specific data (e.g. their password, access rights, and preferences) will be replicated on each computer in the castle and kept in sync. In addition, the newly joined computer will inherit and respect all policies from the Castle," Microsoft added.
But there are additional features that have been scrapped from Longhorn prior to the project taking on the Vista label and ending up what it is today. Perhaps one of the most prominent features that were axed from Longhorn is the Windows File System (WinFS). Designed to be the storage subsystem in Longhorn delivering capabilities, such as searching, organizing and sharing data, WinFS was cut with the explanation that the best of what it had to offer was already implemented into Vista's Windows Explorer.
"Files stored in WinFS contain metadata properties. When you take an existing Windows file and move it to WinFS, a new WinFS 'Item' (basic unit of storage for any type of document) will be created. WinFS will populate this Item with metadata extracted from the file. The properties stored in these Items can be targeted when you perform detailed queries. Access control will be provided for WinFS Items, so that only users with the proper permissions will be able to query on the WinFS Items. (Please note the Important Information below.) WinFS also allows you to establish 'Relationships' that are used to correlate Items with each other (such as an employee relationship between a person and a company). Use of Relationships during queries will also be subject to access control for different users," Microsoft described the WinFS feature.
And together with WinFS there could be yet another feature of Longhorn that could make it into Windows 7. Namely Location Awareness. Now, you have to keep in mind that Microsoft has not confirmed any of the features that will be delivered in Windows 7. But at the same time, the introduction of the HomeGroup and its close resemblance to Castle do open up the possibility that Windows 7 could very well bring WinFS to the table, as well as Location Awareness.
"The Location Awareness feature collects computer location data such as address, position, building/floor/room, and stores it locally in the WinFS store. It also collects data that helps to determine the location information of your computer, but is not directly useful as location information itself, such as: MAC addresses of access points near your computer and the IP address of the subnet and default gateway to which you are connected. It collects data from you, from the active directory, from wireless zeroconfig, and from IPhelper. The feature is turned off by default," Microsoft stated.

The special election in the 32nd City Council District to replace former Councilman and now state Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D−Howard Beach), took place on Feb. 24 with four candidates participating — two Republicans and two Democrats. The winner was Republican Eric Ulrich by a decisive margin. Ulrich, 24, is now the youngest Council member.
There were more than 7,000 votes cast in this election. Ulrich received over 3,400, close to half of the votes cast. His closest opponent, Democrat Lew Simon, was trailing by around 800 votes. The other two candidates, Republican Mike Ricatto and Democrat Geraldine Chapey, were far behind.
This district, which mainly includes Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Hamilton Beach, Broad Channel and the Rockaways, was represented by Addabbo for seven years before he won the 15th Senate District seat by defeating Republican Serf Maltese last year.
As of this writing, Ulrich has not yet been sworn in, since his nearest rival, Simon, has not as yet conceded and wants all the paper ballots counted first. But the election will be certified Tuesday, when Ulrich will be declared the official winner.
Ulrich credits his victory to a well−organized grassroots campaign and a larger−than−expected turnout, which seems to have benefited his candidacy. He believes the issue of transportation was a key subject among the voters of his district in terms of bus service and bridge toll costs.
He said, "The voters put their trust in me. I look forward to working for their interest. I have a job to do and I intend to do it."
It should be noted that since this was a special election, the regular election to fill this seat will be held this fall, barely eight months away. Therefore, there will soon be a replay of this election. This time, however, Ulrich will be running as an incumbent as he faces a Democratic challenger.
As for the race in the 19th Council District in northeast Queens to replace Councilman Tony Avella (D−Bayside), a three−way primary seems to be forming among Democrats, which will include Jerry Iannece, Debra Markell and Paul Vallone.
On the Republican side, Queens Republican County Chairman Phil Ragusa has announced that four prospective Republican candidates have recently appeared before a screening committee. The designated organization candidate will be chosen from among those four: Tim Furey, Joe Gravagna, Frank Macchio and Dan Halloran.
It will be determined later whether any of the three unsuccessful Republican candidates will challenge the chosen organization candidate in a Republican primary.
Presently, it does not look good for Mayor Michael Bloomberg in terms of getting the Republican Party endorsement for re−election. There seems to be little enthusiasm among the county leaders or active members for giving their party's endorsement to the mayor.
If the Independence Party does not endorse him, he will be left with no party ballot to run on except possibly the Working Families Party. He will have to form his own independent party to achieve ballot position, which is not easy. So far, two Republicans, businessman John Catsimatidis and former Council Minority Leader Thomas Ognibene, have expressed an interest in running for mayor.
Next year, control of the state Senate will be a major concern for both major political parties. Ragusa pointed out that whichever party controls the Senate after next year will be in charge of redrawing the Senate district lines.
He said, "I think the future looks bright. I have confidence we will take a few City Council seats."
Reviewing the mayor's race, Bloomberg's position is similar to that of the late Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who wanted to run for a fourth term in 1945. He discovered none of the five Republican county chairmen would support him. LaGuardia dropped out of the race.

Hull police are calling it a hate crime.
They're asking the public's help as they try to find the vandals who painted several swastikas and other offensive graffiti at the state-owned Fort Revere Park.
It was first reported to police two weeks ago.
Hull's Police Chief says a crime like this is an attack on the entire community, and he's vowing that whomever's responsible will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Hull police at (781) 925-1212.

Russia's Adoption Ban
Adopting My Russian Daughter: Not Just Parenting, But Healing
A few weeks ago, Olga Loginova, a filmmaker for Radio Free Europe, spent the day with my family at our home in upstate New York documenting our "ordinary" moments. She was working on a six-minute documentary that she said was urgent. She wanted to show the world, and particularly people back home in Russia, that there are "successful Russian adoptions."
The issue of Russian orphans—and whether American adoptive families are successfully parenting them—has become a flashpoint in a complicated political struggle. It began when the U.S. government passed The Magnitsky Act, which took aim at Russia's handling of human rights cases. The conflict escalated after Russia retaliated by shutting down adoptions to Americans after more than two decades. The Russian propagandists are using a small number of notorious cases gone bad to vilify American adoptive parents as a group, and to perpetuate the notion that Americans are monsters.
Scores of adoptive parents are now in limbo, as are the young babies languishing in Russian orphanages. Jan Wondra, vice chair for Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption (FRUA), says that 700 American families have filed paperwork with the Russian government for adoptions now in limbo, with an estimated 230 of those families already having met their children. Many organizations and activists are fighting publicly and behind the scenes to reverse the ban, both here and abroad. But Russian advocates who want to keep the ban in place have a powerful sound bite fueling their fight: "Twenty adopted Russian children have died at the hands of their American parents."
Look world, they are saying, there is something inherently wrong with how Americans are parenting our children. Our children are not safe. The ban makes sense. It must be upheld. Just last month, less than 60 days after the ban took effect, Max Shatto, a 3-year-old Russian boy who was adopted last October, was found dead in the street outside his Texas home. The Russians screamed murder. The news reinforced the notion that Americans are unfit parents. The autopsy said the toddler died of self-inflicted wounds. The Russians didn't buy it.
No one denies that 20 deaths of Russian-adopted children is a disturbing statistic. Even in context—20 out of 60,000 adoptions—something is not right. It isn't. I know this because I adopted a child from Russia and because I speak to other adoptive parents of Russian children all the time.
There is a nearly universal experience among American parents who are raising Russian-adopted children. These children arrive in our arms with emotional and/or physical issues. Some of us are prepared—or at least made aware of disabilities before the adoption is completed. But most are caught off-guard when children won't attach. This condition is called Reactive Attachment Disorder. It is caused by early separation from a birth mother. Babies don't get the nurture and love they deserve. Their needs are barely met in the orphanages. They learn, subconsciously, it's dangerous to attach.
Because of this, many Russian adoptees are detached, controlling, oppositional. They are hyper, demanding, insatiable, and difficult to manage. Some, still in diapers, are violent to others and to themselves. They are physically powerful. The 20 deaths we know about are the tip of the iceberg of abuse and neglect. I don't have hard numbers, but from what I hear, more adopted Russian children have serious behavioral issues than those that don't. There are scores of adoptive parents who are suffering silently, wallowing in shame as they try to make sense of having gone across the world, at least twice, to take in a child that rejects love.
Nothing is more mind-boggling than trying to rock and cuddle an 8-month-old who pushes you away. I can tell you how hurtful it is when you're trying to attach to a child who won't let you. The truth is you live in denial for a long time. You believe something's wrong with you. You tell yourself, I will heal this child with love. Then one day it occurs to you that love may not be enough. It becomes incumbent upon you to understand how children who begin their lives in orphanages think. You realize it's your life's work, not only to parent them, but to heal them.
A decade ago, my husband Rick and I brought our baby home from a Siberian orphanage. We had some dark years but when our daughter was 3 we began working with her after we schooled ourselves in Reactive Attachment Disorder. We responded with a litany of parenting techniques that slowly took hold and over time, Julia became completely attached to my husband and me, and we to her.
What the Russian government doesn't want to acknowledge is its hand in this problem. Julia lived in a gray grim building that reeked of ammonia. She was one of 10 babies in a room, one in 100 in Orphanage Number 2. When we took her home in February 2003, her skin was pure as alabaster because she'd never, never been outside and seen the light of day. I can only imagine how many times she had cried and been ignored, and how badly she wanted to be held but wasn't. After time, she must have learned it's futile to expect nurturing. She taught herself to expect less. It will take a lifetime to undo these harsh early lessons. As Julia's mother, I understand her fight is my fight.
Which brings me back to the ban on adoptions. Yes, there have been 20 deaths, and this is horrific. Yes, there are thousands of American families doing their best to raise children who are badly damaged. Most of these parents are spending their emotional and financial treasure to give these children a real chance in life.
Our family is considered an example of a "successful Russian adoption" because Julia is attached and thriving. We understand how lucky we are. We also know how fragile it all is. In too many cases, more than anyone would imagine, the children are too far gone. They end up in foster care or in group house or in prison.
International adoption is not a perfect formula but the alternative is for Russian children to grow up and age out in orphanages. We're talking about 700,000 children living in Russian institutions. Russian advocates of the ban might want to continue using Russian orphans as political pawns but they should stop vilifying American parents in a vacuum. In fact, Russians are fortunate to have American families who are willing to pick up the pieces of what is left of Russian children whose lives begin in orphanages.

Tina Traster is writing a memoir, due out next year from Chicago Review Press, on her Russian-adopted daughter. Visit her web site www.juliaandme.com.

Creating Waves of Awareness
A man of near my village came to my clinic with a twelve-year-old girl on his shoulder. He had all the relevant test reports and x-rays in a plastic bag. He told me that his daughter is a handful of bones and he had been treating her in different hospitals and had spent all his money with no results. The doctors say she has got tumors in her intestines and they say in surgical operation at least…

Ah it's so pretty ^-^ Even though you've only done two drawings, I really love them both~
nice...i think branch on the left side should be thin and blurry instead of using air brush,i am not good at explaining things.. 5h
Its okay, I understand what you mean. I tried to use the smudge tool to blur it but it didn't work too well. Thanks for the comment! :)
Looks quite realistic in the thumbnail, and still pretty good up close. Good job!
Aha!! I love how you say it "in the thumbnail". But I guess it's true, it didn't turn out as realistic as I had hoped. And I really didn't know what else to dooo. Ahh I suckk! Ohh well, thanks for the commenttt. X)

text: 5 More Secret Features in OS X LionShep McAllister7/30/11 2:00pmFiled to: Mac OS X TipslionTipsfive5DockContact InfoTerminalRoundup39EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink OS X Lion has been out for over a week now, and now that you've had a chance to try Lifehacker's 10 favorite secret features of the new operating system, here's five more to test out over the weekend. 1. Reveal the Dock while using a fullscreen appLion's fullscreen apps sure are pretty, but they can slow you down by hiding many navigation elements of the operating system. If you want to reveal the dock while in full screen mode to quickly switch to a new program, TUAW reveals that you can simply rest on the bottom of the screen (or left or right side, if that's where you keep the Dock), then push it down as if you're trying to move beyond the edge of the monitor. It's not a natural movement, but the dock does come out of hiding as advertised. 2. Put your contact info on the lock screenThough it was possible to do this in Snow Leopard with third party apps, Lion now allows you to place a personal message with your contact information on the lock screen for any good samaritan that should stumble upon your lost laptop. To enable the feature, just go to your "Security & Privacy" preference pane, check the box labeled "Show a message when the screen is locked," and fill in your information. 3. Move applications out of your Applications folderLion removed the ability to drag application files into a different folder, and instead only creates an alias for the program in the new folder while keeping the actual app package in the Applications folder. Luckily, Tested points out that you can still easily move applications to your heart's content by holding down the Command key as you drag. 4. Use Quick Look in StacksEver since the release OS X Leopard, Stacks and Quick Look have been great tools for quickly accessing and checking files without opening a new window. Unfortunately, OS X bafflingly omitted the ability to use Quick Look from within a Stack, forcing you to open a new finder window. No more. Just mouse over your file in any stack and hit the spacebar as you normally would to get a quick preview of its contents. 5. Use the spacebar to zoom in on Mission Control thumbnailsIf you keep a lot of windows open, it can be tough to see exactly what each one contains in Mission Control, especially on a tiny MacBook Air screen. Thankfully, Tested reveals that you can quickly zoom in on any window without exiting Mission Control by mousing over it and tapping the spacebar. Hit space again to shrink it back down.

Thanks for your help Red_Gh0s,yes,you are right,this ace3ds card has its own kernel,i have found the newest kernel v1.14 from ACE 3DS Official Site - The ACE of 3DS Flash Cards - ACE3DS.COM and it works!!!!
I bought an R4i 3DS card and just now realized after hours of messing with it that it will not play 3DS games. I'm assuming it's just for the 3DS to run DS roms? What card out there runs/plays 3DS roms?
I just search from google site,and found some forums are talking about a new card ---crown3ds card which can play 3ds roms,i don't know whether it is a real news,but in fact this card is now still under production,nobody owns this card till now.You can get more news from its offical site :Crown3DS Card Which Supports 3DS Games - crown3ds.com
Yes it is real but as of now it only plays 1 3ds game

Almost all of us have had the frustrating experience of trying to undo a stuck zipper. Whether the teeth have separated, or a piece of fabric is caught in them, it can be quite a challenge to solve the problem. Fortunately, several good methods exist for getting a stuck zipper to move again. Sometimes it is necessary to take certain precautions, depending on how fragile the fabric is around the zipper or how valuable the garment is.
With any luck, it will be relatively simple to unstick a zipper after it gets caught. One of the best things to do first is to stop zipping as soon as it feels like something is getting stuck. Many times, the problem is that the inner lining of the garment has become caught in the zipper's teeth. If it is not too far in, simply tugging gently on the lining from the inside of the garment may be enough to dislodge it. In general, it is not a good idea to pull the zipper up or down, because doing either of those things could make the problem worse.
Sometimes a stuck zipper is much more difficult to fix. For these situations, a variety of simple home remedies have been found to be quite helpful. One of the most common of these is to apply paraffin, bar soap or candle wax to the area that has become caught in the zipper. Gently rubbing the wax in and working the zipper tab back and forth is often enough to loosen the jammed fabric. It is usually best to apply the soap or wax with a cotton swab, to make sure it gets as close to the jammed fabric as possible.
Another simple method for repairing a stuck zipper is to rub the writing end of a sharpened pencil on the teeth of the zipper where it is stuck. Doing this will apply a small amount of graphite to the area, which works as a natural lubricant to let the teeth of the zipper function more smoothly. If these methods do not work, it is sometimes beneficial to soak the garment in a solution of saltwater for a few hours before attempting to undo the jam. Failing that, a soak in vinegar or rust-removing cleaner may finally do the trick. Some find that soaking the garment in cola can loosen a stuck zipper, but this will probably not be a suitable option for more valuable articles of clothing.

I just rubbed pencil on a stuck LL Bean back pack zipper (stuck in the fabric), and it worked immediately. Amazing! Thank you! |

I used needle nose pliers to pull out the cloth and rubbed soap directly on the zipper track to move a large heavy duty zipper on my large suitcase. It worked! Thanks. |
anon966773 Post 42 |
Thank You very much for the advice. It worked after rubbing the zipper with a candle, but I used two pliers to pull it apart as this was a metal zipper on a denim jacket. |
anon960061 Post 41 |
My purse was so completely caught and it had my train ticket in it. I've tried everything, even cutting the material and all of the lubricants. It's caught on the material inside the purse and I've got several very strong people to pull it, but it seriously will not budge! |
anon948276 Post 40 |
I can recommend washing up liquid on a stuck zip. I read your comments then applied the smallest dab and it worked in seconds. Thank you |
anon944442 Post 39 |
My zip had a clever locking mechanism. When the tag was pulled down to open the zip, the lock was pulled away from the zip teeth. The problem I had was that the tag was worn and the locking mechanism wasn't unlocking properly. I resolved this by superglueing the locking part in the open position. |
anon943675 Post 38 |
The cotton swab and liquid soap worked like a charm. Thank you. |
anon942936 Post 37 |
A much simpler method which is worth trying. It involves simply pulling the jammed piece of material in the opposite direction while pulling the zip in the closing direction! |
anon942093 Post 36 |
I used a combination of these suggestions with great success! I first rubbed soap along the exposed teeth and tried to wiggle the zipper a little. Then I used the needle nosed pliers and had my husband pull the zipper in the opposite direction. It felt as if we were going to rip the backpack apart but only the stuck zipper came apart. Finally! Thanks for the tips! |
anon940258 Post 35 |
Wow! I haven't worn my favorite coat in weeks because the fabric was jammed so far in there! I just tried wetting a q-tip, rubbing it in a bar of soap, rubbing it over the top of the zipper (so the soapy water drips into the zipper) and it worked immediately! Thank you! |

Dish washing liquid worked for me! Mine is a heavy-duty plastic zipper (of my diving equipment bag) that I haven't opened for years. I tried soap but couldn't reach the teeth. So, I put about four drops of dish washing liquid all round it and voila! |
anon178089 Post 25 |
I was very skeptic about the pencil but still gave it a try because I was desperate. It worked! |
anon174297 Post 23 |
yes. try wiggling it. It works! wiggle both sides of track. and unzip. wiggle again. and unzip. and there it is! |
anon174264 Post 22 |
I had very tough, ballistic nylon briefcase with a huge metal zipper that got caught in the piece of ballistic nylon that normally lays over the zipped seam. Bar soap did not work. Liquid soap did not work - at first. Then I put needle-nose pliers (closed) into the "tunnel" created between the piece that had gotten caught and the rest of tunnel, and pushed. That created an outward force on the fabric, away from and perpendicular to the zipper line, which is something I could not do with my fingers alone. 10 seconds. Done. Thanks! |

I have a northface backpack and the outside lining is caught in the zipper! I can't get the fabric out of the zipper! No matter how i gently tug the fabric it will not come out! I paid $140 for it and I really don't want to break it, any suggestions! Please |

anon130245 Post 11 |
I used the bar soap method on the zipper of a new pair of boots. The zippers were getting stuck, but I could not find anything that was causing them to stick. Not caught on fabric, no broken tooth. I tried liquid soap, which did not work, but then I rubbed bar soap directly on the zippers. This worked immediately. I zipped them up and dow a few times to make sure it wasn't a temporary fix, and they slid perfectly. |

anon51216 Post 6 |
what if the zipper is stuck without anything between its teeth? |
ellefagan Post 5 |
Do not use wax, except as a last resort because it is so difficult to remove any wax that may get into the fabric, and it may leave a stain that won't budge, worse than the original zipper-sticking :-) Pencil graphite washes out easily enough *usually.* but not always, so think before you apply anything that might ruin the fabric. The first suggestions is best - always zip carefully, and if you can, remember to give a quick look to the zipper before zipping up to spot threads or fabric that may be an obstruction to the zip-up -- and if a zipper sticks, stopat the first hint of stuckness. And *gently* works best, to free fabric that caught in the zipper
. Often it is just a loose thread from the seam that does it. Pulling hard at the thread or stuck fabric may seriously damage the garment or the zipper.
And Anon4 is right about the difference in approach with a plastic or metal zipper. For metal zippers, as on jeans, one dot of liquid soap is nice and safe, worked in with a cotton swab or eyebrow brush. Anything more is likely to stain the fabric, and then you won't be able wear it that day, anyway. Go *gently* with plastic zippers and with all zippers when you try to unstuck them. If you pull hard at stuck zippers, you may succeed only in damaging the zipper unfixable. Then the zipper will need to be replaced, or the garment is ruined. Thanks for this "food for thought." elle |
anon49739 Post 4 |
Lubricating a plastic jipper is not helpful; most zippers now are plastic rather than brass or metal. |

Many pencils nowadays don't contain graphite. |

putting it into vinegar won't harm the material? |

How do disposable electronic cigarettes work?
Disposables come in one piece. Inside the disposable is a battery, atomizer, and the flavor cartridge, which contains liquid. When a user inhales on the mouthpiece, the battery activates the atomizer, which heats up the liquid and turns it into a vapor. The vapor is what a user inhales and exhales.
Can I recharge my disposable?
No. Disposables are intended for one-time use only. There's no assembly and nothing to charge or recharge. Open the package, remove the rubber cap and take a draw from that end of the e-cigarette.
How long will a disposable last?
Our disposables will last approximately 400 puffs, depending on individual use.

Blending in with the natural landscape, Amangiri, "peaceful mountain" is one of the two US locations offered by the illustrious Amanresort experience. Amangiri is a hidden oasis; built to compliment its desert surroundings but modernly equipped to astound guests with upscale and intimate resort living. ViX Swimwear designer Paula Hermanny was stunned by the combination of rustic beauty and sleek aesthetics, "This is Grand Canyon luxury…it is a place full of natural harmony," she tells us.
Located in Canyon Point, Southern Utah and boasting views of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, the resort is a landmark of the Four Points region of the Southwestern United states and pays homage to area's native Navajo and Hopi cultures. Striated plateaus and mysterious canyons are seen directly through the main pavilion and the open-air living room. The desert setting again comes center stage with a monumental rock escarpment featuring as the pool's main centerpiece. The framing terrace boasts king-sized day beds for lounging, as well as private pool suites that open directly to the arid sky.
Guests can opt for a dusty expedition by way of horseback riding or guided tours with expert archaeologists. Explore the "hoodoo trail," where visitors come face to face with freestanding sandstone towers. At the end of each excursion, find renewal at the Aman Spa at Amangiri, which offers unique color therapy-enhanced floatation treatments and a revitalizing Water Pavillion.
A place of solace and refinement, Amangiri is a blissful getaway for those seeking sanctuary and a place to reconnect with nature. In fact, the 2011 Tatler Travel Awards honored the resort as the "Ultimate Escape," and here at ViX, we are in complete agreement.

Couture Baby Evie, 9 months old...Potomac Point Winery || Stafford, VA
I am an explorer. I love new places, I love just getting in the car and driving and I love vacation. When we were first stationed in Virginia nearly four years ago, Erik took a work trip to Jax Beach, Florida. He flew out bright and early and was calling by 10a asking me to overnight his work boots. After determining that the overnight cost would be the same as the price of a one way trip in the Suburban, I packed the kids up in the car [they were 8,7, 18 months, 18months and 3 months old] with swimsuits, sunscreen and flip flops and off we went on a 12 hour adventure to deliver daddy's boots. That's how I roll.
Always up for something new and a little stir crazy from the winter weather keeping most of my sessions inside, I was craving something different. I started researching indoor locations near Quantico Marine Corps Base and my search led me to the Potomac Point Winery in Stafford, VA. When I emailed Evie's mom, Missy something like "I know she is only 9 months old, BUT how about the winery...it's bea-u-tiful!"
As awesome as Missy is, she's said yes, let's do it! So off we went to explore and oh.my.gosh!! Evie has the biggest, most beautiful dimples in the world and I am ecstatic that we tried somewhere new. The gracious owner's of Potomac Point Winery gave us free reign of their beautiful location and I am forever grateful.

India battle it out against New Zealand in the second Test in Wellington starting on February 14, 2014. This is the final match of the two-match series. India lost the first Test in Auckland by a close margin of 40 runs.
They are yet to win a single match in the tour. India lost the five-match One-Day International (ODI) series 4-0. They tied the third ODI.
MS Dhoni has won the toss and elected to field first. India will be desperate to finally taste success in the series at their final attempt at the Basin Reserve. There was a much improved performance from the Indians in the Tests when compared to the ODIs. Although the beginning of the match was as bad as it got for India. They let New Zealand post 503.
Brendon McCullum top-scored with 224 and Kane Williamson scored 113. Ishant Sharma picked up six wickets. Then on a seemingly good batting track, India were bowled out for 202. Things were looking ominous, but a spirited bowling display helped India bundle New Zealand out for 105.
That gave them a target of 407 runs. They began brightly, but two controversial umpiring decisions went against them and India were bowled out for 366 runs. Shikhar Dhawan top-scored with 115 and Virat Kohli scored 67.
New Zealand: Peter Fulton, Hamish Rutherford, Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum (c), Tom Latham, Corey Anderson, BJ Watling (wk), Tim Southee, James Neesham, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult.
India: Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma.

Cardiogenic shock is usually diagnosed in an emergency setting. Doctors will check for signs and symptoms of shock, and will then perform tests to find out the cause. Tests to diagnose cardiogenic shock include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG). This is done to diagnose a heart attack, often while you're answering questions about your symptoms. This test records the electrical activity of your heart via electrodes attached to your skin. Impulses are recorded as "waves" displayed on a monitor or printed on paper.
Because injured heart muscle doesn't conduct electrical impulses normally, the ECG may show that you are having or just had a heart attack.

Lost Alumni
Through the years, MacMurray College has lost contact with some members of the alumni family. Many times alumni have moved or their forwarding address expires before the next MacMurray College mailing arrives. Often the best resources for finding lost alumni are classmates and friends. Below are lists of lost Mac alumni. Thank you for taking a look. We hope that you are able to help us reconnect.
Search for names by class year or last name, click on the name and complete the missing information form. When information is submitted, we will mail the lost alum a card to verify his or her contact information before updating their official record and returning them to our mailing list. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations. Thank you for helping us keep in touch!
