Please join Cracker Box on Saturday to honor and remember these wonderful women who were loving and caring members of the community.
Cracker Box Palace is located at 6450 Shaker Road, Alton, NY. For more information please call our office at 483-2493.
Cracker Box Palace is a registered 501(c)3 not for profit farm haven in Alton, NY. Founded in 2000, it is a unique place in Wayne County where farm animals of every kind come to recover from illness, neglect or abuse. Some of our residents come here due to family deaths, or because their owners can no longer give them the care they need. Once the animals are given necessary adjustment time and veterinary care, they become available for new people to love through adoption or a unique foster care program. Additionally, Cracker Box provides educational programs and tours for the community, camp programs for school children and nature trails for hiking and horseback riding.

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE: Received from Mrs. Carritt 2. MINUTES OF LAST MEETING : The Minutes of the last meeting having been circulated, were taken as read and signed. 3. MATTERS ARISING ON THE MINUTES: a) Bray Court - Dr. Morgan said that it had been arranged for Miss Walkerdine to go down to Bray to see Miss Hawes. Mr. Rickards stated that there was a possibility of a Norwegian lady coming to the home to act as assistant to Miss Hawes, but the Committee would be glad for Miss Walkerdine to go down to relieve staff needing free time. Dr. Morgan reported that Father Zubeldia was now in residence at Bray. The Committee felt, however, that it would still be necessary to invite Sr. Segurola to come over to help in the home. Mr. Rickards stated that the Auditor had been through the Bray Court accounts with the Treasurer. Mr. Bass had not been present. He had, however, been asked to meet Mr. Rickards, the Treasurer and some members of the House Committee to explain certain discrepancies. These had not been satisfactorily explained. The Treasurer proposed to send out a circular to adoptive parents asking particulars of their subscriptions and it was thus hoped to make a check on these. Mr. Rickards said the financial position appeared altogether unsatisfactory. No further steps would, however, be taken in this matter until replies to the circular had been received. b) Manuel Sanchez - There was some discussion as to the advisability of bringing Manuel Sanchez to England and it was finally decided that his case should be further investigated. Dr. Camps offered to get in touch with Mr. Siebert, Warden at Street, who knew the boy and his circumstances. Miss Garrett said she was hoping to get some of

Mrs Connie Bayliss, by whom given to her sister, and thence by bequest to the present owner
C.R.W. Nevinson, Paint and Prejudice, Methuen, London, 1937, illustrated.
The urban townscape was one which Nevinson made his own during the 1920s and 1930s, as much as his paintings of the First World War are almost always the images of that conflict called first to mind. London, New York and Paris all provided the artist with subjects that each engendered their own specific group of works, both in paint and print. Whilst many of those of London take the streets and skyline of the city as their subject, a number have the Thames in their midst, the river that was still then at the heart of the Empire and a potent symbol of commerce and industry in the same way that Nevinson's own New York works use the skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan.
The looming presence of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's Battersea Power Station appears in a number of works of the period, and here we see the twin towers (the familiar second set were not built until the early 1950s) silhouetted against the blues and pinks of an early evening winter sky. The present view, almost certainly painted from a balcony at Dolphin Square, looks down onto the embankment below where traffic heads past, either home from work or into the city for the evening's entertainment. Through the still leafless trees, Thames barges plough their way up and down the river, some to the wharves where cranes stand ready to receive their cargoes. This appreciation of the peculiar beauty of a winter evening in London was not a new one, and in the palette and elevated viewpoint, one can easily draw comparisons with Monet's views of London, painted half a century earlier.

CarMax planning to build here
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 1:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 1:34 p.m.
CarMax is moving ahead with plans to build a used-car superstore on N. Main Street.
The Gainesville Development Review Board unanimously approved a wellfield protection permit and development plan review for the dealership at its April 11 meeting.
The company has a contract to buy 13 acres of the wooded parcel north of Subaru of Gainesville at 4025 N. Main St., pending the permitting process.
The development plan calls for a 45,000-square-foot sales and delivery service building and a 3,700-square-foot car wash and gas station that would be available for the dealership's use only and not for the general public.
"While we continue to get approvals on property in Gainesville, it can take one to three years to get all approvals, complete construction and open a new store," said Michelle Topping Ellwood, CarMax public affairs coordinator.
CarMax, based in Richmond, Va., is a Fortune 500 company known for its "no-haggle" pricing with 120 locations.

App developer
Mobiquity, a Boston-area mobile app developer, announced last Wednesday that it chose Gainesville for its expansion plans and expects to create 260 jobs over the next three years.
The company plans to open an office in Innovation Square, the area being redeveloped by the University of Florida and private developers along SW 2nd Avenue between campus and downtown Gainesville.
The jobs will pay an average salary of $49,000, according to the company's application for tax rebates.
"The unique combination of highly educated students, graduates and professionals, and an ideal location, brought us to Gainesville," Bill Seibel, founder and CEO, said in a news release. "The University of Florida provides a rich pool of engineers that will allow us to meet the demand of our clients to create quality, enterprise-class mobile solutions, while generating more jobs right here in the U.S. It is a win/win."
The announcement has been anticipated for weeks. A recruiter from the company was on campus earlier last week.
Mobiquity is the second major information technology company to announce its expansion to Gainesville in two years, drawn by UF engineering talent and the low cost of doing business.
India-based Mindtree opened its first U.S. software development center here last year and expects to create 400 jobs over four years. Mindtree currently has 75 employees with an office in the Ayers Plaza in Innovation Square.
Sears also announced in March that it would recruit 25 UF computer engineering interns to work over the summer at locations around the country before bringing them back in the fall to work at a new IT office in Gainesville.

A new bookstore/bar opened April 5 on the southeast side of the Sun Center in downtown Gainesville.

Taylor Knox Signs With Reef Footwear
(Carlsbad, CA) February 28th – 2011 – Reef is honored to announce the addition of surfing legend, Taylor Knox, to the footwear team. The California native will represent Reef's Performance based line of Ridiculously Comfortable sandals around the world. Knox just resumed his 17th year on the ASP World Championship Tour at the Quiksilver Pro, which began February 26th on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Taylor Knox's passion for extreme sports almost ended his career before it even had a chance to start. At the age of 15, Knox suffered a devastating back injury while skateboarding. Doctors insisted he would never surf professionally, but after undergoing surgery for a damaged lumbar, Knox defied the harsh sentence by turning to a healthy diet, core fitness training and intense physical therapy. Knox's ambition to not only recover, but to come back better than ever, led him to a very successful amateur career as a star of the NSSA National Team. This eventually led to an even more lucrative career on the ASP World Championship Tour, where Knox is currently the oldest competitor on tour.
Reef Men's Sr. Marketing Manager, Heath Walker comments, "The longevity of Taylor Knox's career is a real testament to his commitment to the sport, and his tireless drive to perform at his most optimal level. He is an incredible ambassador for the brand."
The Reef and Taylor Knox connection dates back to 1998, where Knox infamously rode a 52-foot monster at Todos Santos, winning the Reef Big-Wave World Championships. The ride earned Taylor global notoriety when it was awarded the $50,000 prize at the K2 Big-Wave World Championships.
Knox adds, "So pumped to be a part of the Reef team with such great surfers, and to be a part of a company that is a leader in the industry."
The Reef Performance line of sandals is a collection of styles that are built for durability and superior comfort using the latest materializations and Reef comfort technologies.

Trading volumes are at their lowest levels since 2007, hurting brokerage firms dependent on commissions.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The 2012 surge in the stock market hasn't been positive for everyone on Wall Street: Hundreds of small brokerage firms on death watch.
Trading volumes and commissions are at their lowest levels since 2007. And so far this year, three small but well-known brokerage firms have already had to call it quits.
The swift unwinding of WJB Capital Group, Ticonderoga Securities and Kaufman Brothers has left investors to wonder who's next. Representatives from WJB, Ticonderoga, and Kaufman did not return calls for comment.
"When some of these firms start to have problems, everyone starts looking for the next one," said Robert Moore, CEO of Concept Capital, a brokerage firm headquartered in Garden City, New York. "It causes institutions that trade with these firms to wait and see before trading with them."
For some small boutique trading firms, that crisis of confidence could prove fatal. Most of these firms generate revenues solely from commissions on each trade and from providing proprietary research reports to clients.
Customers who get wind of a potentially troubled brokerage firm often stop executing trades with them and wait to pay for research.
"Institutions start to say, 'why would I give my commissions dollars to a firm that might not be here in three months? I'll wait and maybe go back to them in October or November'," said Moore.
Ron Suber, head of prime brokerage at Merlin Securities, said he's seen a flood of resumes from employees at small trading firms who are worried about their employer's health.
In the fourth quarter, most investment banks saw revenue from stock trading drop about 20%, but, unlike boutique brokerages, these larger financial institutions have other ways to make money.
Currently, there are 4,066 brokerages with fewer than 150 traders, according to brokerage regulator Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Because of their small size, those are the ones in the most precarious position.
Unlike MF Global, none of the recently defunct brokerages actually held clients' funds in so-called custodial accounts, so the primary repercussions for these smaller trading firms is the loss of a valued trading partner and access to proprietary research.
While some small and midsize brokerage firms like Raymond James (RJF), Sterne Agee and Stifel Financial (SF) might actually pick up some volume from these firms closing, the fall of small brokerages is yet another sign that Wall Street is shrinking.
"Volume will gravitate toward someone. You're just going to have fewer players in the marketplace," said Moore.
It's unclear where Wall Street might find an equilibrium between traders and brokerages. And it's too soon to tell whether volumes will be depressed for a long time or whether investors will become less skittish and move en masse back into stocks.
"At some point we have to get confidence back into the equity markets," said Moore. "Volumes will come back up, and a lot of things will come back into place."

Y a-t-il des biais systematiques dans les annonces budgetaires canadiennes? (With English summary.)
Every year the Canadian government makes up a budget for the forthcoming fiscal year. During the budget process, projections are made of expenditures and receipts contingent upon predictions of key macroeconomic variables. Naturally, one expects that the budget deficit or surplus actually realized will differ from what was initially announced. Neither of the two major protagonists in the budget decision-making process, namely the Legislative and Executive Branches of government, may have an interest in using truthful projections, however. The purpose of the paper is to find empirical regularities. It is found that (1) the difference between projected and realized budgets is substantial; and (2) that the differences are systematically related to publicly available information at the time of the budget announcement. The publicly available information contains key macroeconomic variables related to the electoral and legislative process. It is shown that the biases are fairly predictable at the time budget projections are announced.

AirPhil Express flies from GenSan to Iloilo, Cebu
I should have included this in my predictions for 2012!
Effective March 22, 2012, AirPhil Express will be flying passengers out of the General Santos City International Airport to new destinations Cebu and Iloilo Cities!
According to their official website, the Cebu-GenSan-Cebu and GenSan-Iloilo-GenSan flights of AirPhil Express will be available 3x a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays initially.
Here then are AirPhil Express flight schedules to these new areas:
- GenSan – Iloilo (Flight 2P 393):
- Depart GenSan – 10:10 AM
- Arrive Iloilo – 11:30 AM
- Iloilo – GenSan (Flight 2P 394)
- Depart Iloilo – 12:00 PM
- Arrive GenSan – 1:20 PM
- Cebu – GenSan (Flight 2P 389)
- Depart Cebu – 8:30 AM
- Arrive GenSan – 9:40 AM
- GenSan – Cebu (Flight 2P 390)
- Depart GenSan – 1:50 AM
- Arrive GenSan – 3:00 PM
Currently, only Cebu Pacific services the GenSan-Cebu-GenSan route and with AirPhil Express in the picture, expect the plane rates to go down.
The flights to and from Iloilo City however is exclusively AirPhil Express' as of the moment. Knowing how Cebu Pacific operates, they would not want any competitor to dominate this route for sure. We can expect them to follow suit right away.
Right now, AirPhil Express which will be using their brand new Airbus 320 is offering a marked-down one way fare of P106o.00 for their new flights to Cebu and Iloilo from General Santos City and vice versa.
So if I were you, I would immediately stop what I am doing and go log on to their website at www.airphilexpress.com and book my future flights. Am sure, many Ilonggos and Cebuanos here and in the Visayas would be wanting to do just the same. Go na!
And yes, one more thing! Boracay is not that far anymore!!!! Yey!

This is very good news! Pirme na ta maka pa renew sine! 😀
Calling Zest Air…the more the merrier the better fare for everyone.
@AirPhil & Cebu Pacific: More flight frequencies in Gensan-Cebu-Gensan sector pls.
with the ever-increasing number of flights to/from gensan, and the number of airlines servicing the area, our airport SHOULD have a facelift to improve its looks and facilities… say, "AMEN", if you agree… congrats, AirPhils!!!
Yes! Wish come true!
More reasons for me to go back…LOL!
Wow! This is good news to be able to visit Boracay from Gensan direct via air.
And not expensive either!
All I wish is that Air Phil fly direct from Australia to Gensan so I do not need to go to Manila first. General Santos is fast becoming a very good destination with linked flights. This will help bring more tourism and also help generate more employment for the South Cotabato region. -
thanks GOD ara na jud…direct to gensan..dili na moagi og davao..hassle kaau..daghan pa bagahe.. timing jud ni pag uli sa june after enrolment ko. Hopefully maging daily flight service agad if ang market is big talaga. And hoping ang airport na2 mabag-o jud. Kay kumpara na daun ang Iloilo sa gensan airport astang layua…tsk3. congrats Airphil..
@ Kuya Bariles. Siguro you mean 1:50 PM ang departure from GEnSan then arrive at CEBu. Hehe. Kasi parang umikot lang ang plane kung sa gensan din ang arrival. Haha. 😀 Peace kuya Avel. 😀
GenSan – Cebu (Flight 2P 390)
Depart GenSan – 1:50 AM
Arrive GenSan – 3:00 PM@Gensanite: A big AMEN to that.! KINAHANGLAN NA JUD I-OVERHAUL ANG ATONG NAG-INUSARANG AIRPORT.! Para kung mag invest ang Airline Companies ug direct international flights to and from Gensan eh maipagmamalaki naman natin. Hay sayang.
Calling Gensan Government.! Pansina ang unang makita sa mga visita/turista inig naug sa irplin.!
Good news ever so much… Thank AirPhil Express!
GenSan – Cebu (Flight 2P 390)????? —– P 390 one way only?
Depart GenSan – 1:50 AM
Arrive GenSan – 3:00 PM -
it's a typographical error.. try considering it…as of the price, don't rely on it cause plane fare changes a lot in a day or in a week depending on the demand/availability. better go to their website for more info.
AMEN! @gensanite
sana soon may GES-CGY-GES and GES-ZAM-GES na rin.
more frequencies pa sana to CEB-GES-CEB and MNL-GES-MNL sectors. sana may evening flights na rin para mas maraming options kung anong oras magbiyahe.Thank you Airphilexpress! and more power indeed!
Magandang GenSan! Lipad na!
Wish come true sa aton mga kasimanwa kag mga bisaya. Ara nata sang choices gid bala. Unta Gensan-Tagbilaran (Bohol) v.v. na sad ang sunod. Great Service and GO GO Airphil! We love you very much! hehe.
and If AirPhil Express will consider the Gensan-Tagbilaran direct flight maiden trip will start this May 01, 2012 is a sure mega hit. Daghan mga bol-anon naga uli especially the month of May dinhi sa SocSKSarGen and even Davao kay ma miesta. No need to connect Cebu and rode the fast craft for an hour going to Bohol. Why not!
@Peter, absolutely! Mas madali na, at mas mura na ngayon pumunta ng Boracay dahil dito sa GenSan-Iloilo v.v. flight ng Airphil Express!
GenSan fly direct to Iloilo, then from iloilo to Caticlan by bus or aircon taxi. wohooo!
@Dapdap: we boast our beloved city as the "Gateway to South Central Mindanao", but it would probably shock visitors/tourists to arrive in an "international" airport complex in dire need of renovation and improvement… with the increasing number of flights, our local government officials should seriously look into this, and maybe work with the lgu's from sarangani, south cotabato, and sultan kudarat in the drive to welcome toursits in the region and show them what we have to offer down south… magandang gensan!!! 🙂
mayor darlene custudio,,all lgu officials,,,,nalipay ba mo magtan aw sa hitsura satong airport hastang mauta gyud,,,,,wla mn lng comfortable facilitiues and amenities,,,,num 1 bya manaog ang mga investors kysa airport gyud dili sa sea port or sa bus terminal,,,,unyamkita nla naga boom ang gensan when it comes to infrastructures and businesses unya ing ana ang makit an hitsura sa airport na hastang mauta gyud,,,,,busa it's tym mayor,,ky ang ato city,,,going to the level up na ang improvements,,,, comfortable and big malls sa airport,,restaurants,,dpat naa duty free shop para sa mga balikbayan,,,unya dunay aero bridges,,,aircon boarding areas sulod sa airport,,,sa pre dept. pod,,,unya tubes,,,and state of the art design sa mga buildings,,,,mostly dpat kmpleto ang intrnational gflights and domestic arun di na hassle mag hago hago manaog pag manila para sa imo destinasyun na adtuan sa gawas…..god bless general santos,,hope all of this,,mkita nato in the future……magandang gensan,,mag 2012 na,,,kaya now its the tym…..
sa dami ng mga proposed routes ng ating mga readers..why not gawin ng mga budget airlines na ito gawing HUB AIRPORT ang Gensan for BIMP-EAGA transport sector? anyway Gensan has Fifth Freedom Traffic Rights (FFTR) already.
Gensan air route has lot of expansion in the years to come given our strategic location since we are at the tail of the archepelago. To name it, theirs GES-TAGBI/PANGLAO (Bohol); GES-CAGAYAN de ORO; GES-ZAMBOANGA; GES-BUTUAN; GES-SURIGAO; GES-BACOLOD; GES-CLARK; GES-PUERTO PRINSESA; GES-CATICLAN; GES-LEGASPI and even GES-DVO. So let's wait, it will come true and that's my prediction. Hehe. God Bless!
And i won't dream yet the direct Asian/International flight. One at a time lang muna. Hehe.
Salamat kay naa nay direct gensan iloilo, favorable sa amo-a nga gikan sa iloilo kay dali nalang ang mag travel di na muagi ug cebu. expenses wise maayo, ma shorten pa gyud ang biyahe.

Strongly agree what happen to 120 million modernization project for GSCIA
Just for a postcript. I think it would not be unfair to say that our Airport is trully that bad because geographically wise it is located in one of the best location an airport should be. It would be appropriate to say that our "passenger terminal" needs improvement. Our Airport is more or less 600 hectares and above the sea level overlooking Sarangani Bay. Our runway is one of the bests in the Philippines, better than in Manila, Cebu, Clark & Davao. For us to be competitive our passenger terminal needs overhauling since it was designed by american contructor decades ago not for commercial use solely but for military purposes as well which was not materialize as of now. I think it needs a national budget to realize our dreams of having a state of the art passenger terminal. And that would happen in sooner time we just have to wait. Agree?
@White Knight, I disagree with you saying that the airport terminal building was built by american contractors and designers for military use. If you only study the the design of GSIA terminal building, it has a second floor…meaning, it was really planned desgined to have a jet bridge for commercial jets in the future. How can you say that the terminal building is for military use? May military quarters or perhaps a military command center ka bang nakita sa loob ng terminal building?
Seriously speaking, Our airport's terminal building badly needs rehab. The second floor of the terminal building was never ever used since the airport opened in 1996, except on that part where Cafe Leticia is currently situated…that second floor was designed for future expansion (pre-departure lounges) and installation of jet bridges and now, the time has come for that need of expansion and refurbishment. Especially now that the number of flights and destinations are increasing.
Ang elevator sa loob ng terminal building ng GSIA kamusta na kaya? Gumagana pa ba ito? or baka naman nabulok na lang ay hindi man lang nagamit…tsk tsk tsk tsk
Haha you get me wrong. Yeah you're right, it was finished in late 1996-1997 if i'm not mistaken. The GSIA was funded by USAID isn't it? Primarily one of the purposes is to accommodate military exercises that time or better known as "balikatan" which bigger US plane could land in our airport and but this was opposed by some sectors in our city & province because sensitive issues such as prostitutions, etc. That's the story…Yeah our terminal airport really needs overhauling. Thanks
@White knight, that is totally baseless. The airport was a grant to the people of GenSan by the US governement through its USAID…and USAID still continues to provide assistance to neglected places in Mindanao. Accusations of like that is totally baseless.
Thanks to AIRPHIL for having Gensan-Iloilo route, I"m hoping this for so long due to very inconvenient effort to travel to davao everytime I take my summer/christmas vacation to Iloilo. To airphil mgt. ths is a bright idea idea coming @ your end!
ay salamat hndi na mabudlay mag puli sa lupang sinilangan…thank you for having this flight….hope this is for ever…
[…] Express has started serving the GenSan-Iloilo-GenSan route a few months back (read about it by CLICKING HERE), it would be just a matter of time before its major competitor, Cebu Pacific follows […]

The airport handles airlines including Qater, Asiana, Emirates, and Etihad Airways. The airport's Terminal II serves the international flights.

Samurai Swords For Sale
Paul Chen Swords: What You Should Know There are several reasons that Paul Chen swords are in great demand. Fist and probably most importantly is that it�s very hard to find this high level of construction in an oriental sword for such a low price. Most of the Paul Chen swords are forged using a traditional construction method called differential tempering. This means that the Ha or the edge of the blade is of a different hardness thank the Mune or back of the blade. So why is that important in a samurai sword?
This is what separates Paul Chen battle ready swords from many swords. In plain English it means that the blade is more flexible than if this method was not used to forge the blade. A good samurai sword must have some flexibility to it or it will break in battle. Differential tempering makes it almost impossible for the Paul Chen swords to break. The second reason why the Paul Chen swords are so popular with most of the swords except a few, the sword parts are authentic. For instance, many of the swords like the Shinto Katana feature premium Japanese cotton for the tsuka-ito. It�s very difficult to find a samurai sword with authentic fittings and parts at such a good price. Another reason you should consider a Paul Chen sword is because of the light weight. Most of the battle ready swords weigh less than 2 lbs.
A light weight sword gives the martial artist the ability to move faster with better precision because he has a sword of superb quality and light weight. Many other swords that are supposed to be comparable to Paul Chen swords weigh in excess of 3 lbs. You might not think that 1lb can be that much of a difference for the artist but it really is. If you are in the market for a battle ready samurai sword a Paul Chen sword should be one of your first considerations. One of the most popular is definitely the Paul Chen Golden Oriole Katana. Weather you want a sword for dojo exercises or just to hang on the wall, you can�t go wrong with a Paul Chen sword, a sword that will last you a lifetime.
Authentic Samurai Swords Buying Guide Take the Thaitsuki Nihonto swords, they�re forged using a 400 year old family method, are you can normally find them for under $1000, however people are realizing more and more that they are very high quality swords, so their prices probably won�t stay low for very long. Here are a few qualities to look for in a quality samurai sword. An authentic samurai sword should be at least a high carbon steel forge blade (like the Thaitsuki swords) or a folded steel blade. A stainless steel blade is not a blade that is forged using traditional construction methods and should only be used for decoration. Many of them look really nice, but they absolutely must not be used for any type of cutting exercise.
If the blade is not made from at high carbon forged steel or folded steel then it�s most likely just stainless steel. When purchasing your authentic samurai sword, make sure that the blade is forged high carbon steel or folded steel. Many companies will tell you that they can sell you a quality authentic samurai sword made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is fine if you�re only going to hang it on the wall but it�s not an authentic samurai sword made using quality forging methods. Take the Paul Chen Shinto Katana. It's a fine sword made from traditional claying methods that make it nearly impossible to break, it's a fine authentic samurai sword.
Japanese Sword: A Great Piece For Any Home A Japanese Sword is a wonderful decoration to add to any room of your home or office. Many people think that a samurai sword might look out of place in their home if their not Japanese or into martial arts. That idea is beginning to change. People who have no Japanese roots and are not necessarily into the martial arts are realizing that a nice Japanese Sword can add beauty to their home.
The Japanese Samurai sword can be a great conversation piece. What do you think of when you think of a samurai warrior. The first thing almost everyone says is "honor". And it's true. The samurai followed a strict code of honor and loyalty to each other and their cause. Japanese Swords are becoming so popular that you can find a very nice sword no matter what your price. You can literally find a nice decoration Japanese Sword for under $100 all the way up to several thousand dollars. Many people are even buying sharpened, battle ready swords just to hang on their wall. Not intending to ever use it but just for the fine quality and craftsmanship.
One of the most popular makers of quality samurai swords right now is Cold Steel. Cold Steel swords offer the collector a chance to get a quality sword at a great price. Most of the Cold Steel swords have all traditional parts and fittings. Many practitioners are looking for a sword that is a bit heavier than say a Paul Chen sword for the sake of cutting power. Cold Steel swords deliver a little more weight for that very purpose. Of course Cold Steel swords also make a beautiful decoration piece to hang on the wall as well as for use in the dojo. If you're in the market for something different and beautifully you can go wrong with a quality Samurai Japanese Sword then check out our store
Sword Display Stand: The Right Stand For Your Sword Most likely you�ll want to display your beautiful sword somewhere in your home or office for all to see. There are several sword display stands to choose from. Some are poorly made and some are of very fine quality.
Many sword display stands are universal, but some are made for certain types of swords, for instance there are many sword stands that are specifically made to display a Japanese katana sword or a specific type of dagger. When buying a sword display stand for your new sword just be sure that you�re buying a stand that is made from solid wood and not one that is cheaply made of some type of particle board or the like. You want a stand made of quality wood that won�t damage your sword in any way.
The two most popular brands of sword display stands are probably Paul Chen and United Cutlery. Both manufacture quality stands at reasonable prices. One other thing to consider when purchasing your sword display stand is to be sure that it fits the size of your sword. You don�t want to but a stand that is to large or to small for your sword. For example, most katana swords are 40 long give or take and inch so you would want to buy a stand that is 18 to 20 wide so that roughly your katana is protruding about 10 out from each side of the stand.
Thaitsuki Nihonto Swords: Leading The Way So why are these swords so popular? There are several reasons but number one is quality. The Thaitsuki swords are handmade by trained craftsman in using a family method over 200 years old. Second, there is no other line of swords in the world that you can find at a price that the Thaitsuki swords sell for with the same quality. Thaitsuki Nihonto swords should be in a price range around $2000 and more.
There are several things about the Thaitsuki Nihonto swords that make them so special. As mentioned above the Thaitsuki swords are hand forged using a very old family method. They have been forging these high quality swords for collectors in Japan and all over the world.
Whether you�re looking for an authentic to hang on the wall or a quality sword to stand up to the rigorous cutting exercises of the dojo you won�t find a better sword than a Thaitsuki sword. The most popular Thaitsuki sword that everyone seems to want is the Thaitsuki Hoso Kumiage The Sivarat family is dedicated to quality and is not willing to do anything to jeporodize the reputation. Thatisuki swords are made using the highest standards and finest authentic fittings. Whether you choose the Musashi Katana with a high quality leather tsuki or the Hoso Katana with a genuine Japanese silk tsuka you can be sure that the quality and durability is second to none in the price range.
Japanese Samurai Swords Buying Guide When it comes to samurai swords, there is quite a bit of terminology for the new collector to understand. But we want to make it easy for anyone to find a good quality samurai sword that will last a lifetime, no matter if you�re looking for one of the very sought after Paul Chen Katana swords for battle or just a quality sword to hang over the mantle.
The first thing to consider for your new samurai sword is the type and quality of the blade. If you�re looking for a you want to be sure and choose a full tang blade, which all of our authentic samurai swords feature as well as all of our battle ready swords. The term full tang means that the blade and the part of the sword under the Tsuka (handle) is one long piece of steel. If you get a sword that is not full tang then you�re basically buying it to hang on the wall and nothing more. The next thing to consider when choosing a sword is the type of steel that the blade is made of.
There are basically 3 types of steel, 420 J2 (Stainless steel), High Carbon, and Folded steel. If you are looking for a battle ready sword you�ll want to stay away from the 420 J2 Stainless. High carbon steel is very high quality steel; however folded steel is the strongest. Actually it�s not that the folded steel is a different type of steel, but how the blade is forged. A folded steel blade is typically made from high carbon steel.
The difference is that a folded steel blade is just like it says; the steel is folded over and over again until the smith believes that it is adequate. Some people say that a good high carbon steel blade can be just as strong as a folded steel blade. The smiths for the Thaitsuki Nihonto Swords claim to have mastered a form of forging high carbon steel blades that is just as strong if not stronger than many of the folded steel blades. When choosing a sword samurai sword there are basically 3 different styles to consider, the katana sword, the Wakizashi sword and the Tanto sword.
The Japanese Katana Sword is the most popular among collectors and martial arts students alike. The katana sword was the first and is still the most popular of all samurai swords. The blade is typically 29 long with an overall length around 40 The Wakizashi sword is the shorter companion blade of the katana sword. We first see the Wakizashi sword during the Muromachi period (1568-1603).
The Wakizashi was about 18 long and only allowed to be carried by a samurai. Carrying both the katana and the Wakizashi was popular for the next few hundred years. The smallest samurai sword would be the tanto sword or dagger. Originally tanto swords were 12 in length or less but it�s not out of the ordinary to come across a Tanto that is 15 long. Samurai sword collecting is a very popular past time for many Americans.
Something that is becoming even more popular is martial arts that make use of samurai sword for fighting and cutting exercises. The most popular and affordable authentic samurai swords are the Paul Chen Swords. You can find a decent Paul Chen Practical Katana Sword for under $200. However for less than a hundred more you can get yourself a Paul Chen Practical Plus Katana. If you�re looking for something a little more pricy the Paul Chen Bushido Katana or the Orchid Katana will last a lifetime and can take quite a beating.
The Orchid and Bushido also come in a Wakizashi and Tanto. In conclusion, the most important thing when buying your sword is that you know what kind of blade you're getting. If you want a functional sword be sure that you're not getting one that's only made to hang on the wall. If it's not clearly stated on the page for the sword, don't hesitate to contact the store to ask any questions you might have. Japanese Tanto Swords: Decorative or Battle Ready Here are a few qualities to look for in a quality tanto sword. We suggest battle ready swords over wall hangers. Why, because the quality will always be better on a battle ready tanto sword than one that�s just for show. If a sword is to be used to cutting exercises it absolutely has have a blade that is full tang and have a blade that is made from high carbon steel or Sweedish folded steel.
If the blade is not made from at high carbon forged steel or folded steel then it�s most likely just stainless steel. Stainless steel is just fine for most knives but just won�t cut it (no pun intended) when it comes to a tanto sword that�s going to be used in the dojo. Two very popular brands of tanto swords are Paul Chen and Cold Steel. Cold Steel, although an American company has most of their swords forged in China by trained smiths. Paul Chen blades are very popular in American and all over the world right now. Most of the Paul Chen swords are forged using a technique called differential tempering. It means that the back of the blade is more flexible than the edge of the blade. Katana Swords: Beautify Your Home or Office Many people buy will buy a katana sword for decoration but eventually become fascinated with sword play that they end up signing up for a martial arts class and make use of their sword. Among the 3 sizes of traditional samurai swords the katana has always been the most popular among collectors and martial artists alike. In addition to the katana sword there is also the Wakizashi, or short sword and then the tanto sword, about the size of a large knife. When choosing a katana sword there are a few things to consider when deciding which sword is right for you?
First will this sword be used in for cutting exercises or for display only? Don�t think that if you�re wanting to buy a battle ready sword that it cannot be used for display. As a matter of fact most people who buy a battle ready katana sword never do anything but hang it on their wall. Why would anyone buy a battle ready sword but never really use it? Simple, because collectors want a katana sword that�s high quality and often they like to know that if they ever wanted to use it for cutting exercises they could. So if you find a battle ready katana sword then you�ve also found yourself a sword that will be a nice display.
On the other hand there are many decorative only katana swords that will look very nice in any home or office. The difference is the amount of money that you�ll spend and the quality of construction. If you want a battle ready sword you need to choose one that has a blade that is made from high carbon steel or folded steel. Any sword that has a blade made from stainless steel should only be for display. Stainless steel blades are not made to stand up to the rigors of cutting exercises or combat with other swords.
Some of the best quality battle ready katana swords you can find are forged by Thaitsuki, Paul Chen and Cold steel. Among the growing popular of samurai swords are the Kill Bill Swords. You can now buy a Kill Bill Sword just like the ones in the movie. Although they are not made for cutting exercises they are sharpened and look exactly like the actual movie. The most popular are the Kill Bill Bride's Sword and the Kill Bill Guy's Sword. Ninja Swords: What You Need To Know Before You Purchase You�d almost have to be living on another planet to not realize that swords of any kind are becoming very popular among collectors and even investors. Ninja swords and other styles of Chinese weapons are particularly in demand right now. There are a few key aspects that you should know about before you dish out your money, especially if you plan to buy over the internet.
Unfortunately there are many websites claiming to that certain swords are battle ready or can be used for cutting exercises in the dojo and in many situations that is just not true. Sometimes you might see a website that features a ninja sword and the name of the weapon will be very similar to one of higher quality and will even look exactly like a better well known sword. So the unsuspecting buyer thinks he�s getting this unbelievable that no one else has found on a certain sword. Unfortunately he/she learns the hard way that it�s not what he thought.
If you buy a ninja sword that�s not worthy to be used for anything but hanging on the wall and you take it to the dojo serious injury could result. The main trait of a quality ninja sword that you need to look for is to be sure that the blade is forged high carbon steel and preferably differentially tempered. Differentially tempered means that the back of the blade is not as hard as the edge of the blade.
At first some people think that this is not a positive aspect for a high quality ninja sword. Differentially tempering is necessary so that it gives some flexibility to the sword. Differentially tempering makes the ninja sword virtually unbreakable. Hopefully this article has helped you to know the traits to look for when purchasing your next ninja sword. Japanese Wakizashi Swords: Decorative or Battle Ready Here are a few qualities to look for in a quality wakizashi sword. We suggest battle ready swords over wall hangers. Why, because the quality will always be better on a battle ready wakizashi sword than one that�s just for show.
If a sword is to be used to cutting exercises it absolutely has have a blade that is full tang and have a blade that is made from high carbon steel or Sweedish folded steel. If the blade is not made from at high carbon forged steel or folded steel then it�s most likely just stainless steel. Stainless steel is just fine for most knives but just won�t cut it (no pun intended) when it comes to a wakizashi sword that�s going to be used in the dojo. The two most sought after brands of tanto swords are Paul Chen and Cold Steel. Cold Steel swords,
Cold Steel swords although an American company has most of their swords forged in China by well trained swordsmiths. Paul Chen blades are very popular in America and all over the world right now. Most of the Paul Chen swords are forged using a technique called differential tempering. It means that the back of the blade is more flexible than the edge of the blade. You can�t go wrong with a Paul Chen or a Cold Steel Japanese wakizashi sword. A Japanese sword, or nihontō, is one of the traditional samurai bladed weapons of Japan. These are categorised in several types according to size and method of manufacture. The most commonly known type is the katana sword, which, like the similarly formed tachi sword, is a single-edged sword and, usually, curved long sword which was traditionally used by samurai from the 1400s onwards;[1][2][3] Wakizashi swords are middle length swords; Tsurugi are double-edged long swords; Ōtachi or Nodachi are older but longer single-edged versions. Although they are pole-mounted weapons the Naginata and Yari, due to the methods by which they are forged, these swords are still considered part of the Nihonto family.[4] Japanese swords are still commonly seen; antique and modernly-forged swords can easily be found and purchased here at www.samurai-swords-for-sale.com.
The nihonto samurai sword as we know it today with its deep, graceful curve has its origin in shinogi-zukuri (single-edged blade with ridgeline) tachi swords which were developed sometime around the middle of the Heian period to service the need of the growing military class. Its shape reflects the changing form of warfare in Japan. Cavalry swords were now the predominant fighting unit and the older straight chokutō were particularly unsuitable for fighting from horseback. The curved sword is a far more efficient weapon when wielded by a warrior on horseback where the curve of the blade adds considerably to the downward force of a cutting action of the sword.
The tachi is a sword which is generally larger than a katana, and is worn suspended with the cutting edge down. This was the standard form of carrying the sword for centuries, and would eventually be displaced by the katana style where the blade was worn thrust through the belt, edge up. The tachi was worn slung across the left hip. The signature on the tang (nakago) of the blade was inscribed in such a way that it would always be on the outside of the sword when worn. This characteristic of this sword is important in recognising the development, function and different styles of wearing swords from this time onwards to today's japanese swords.
We have the most complete line of samurai swords and japanese swords and other swords of all types on the internet.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis' decision to name Montell Cozart as his starting quarterback wasn't a major surprise.
Those who watched Cozart separate himself from the competition during KU's spring game could sense this was coming. The sophomore quarterback clearly was the best of the group, using his feet to make plays while also showing progress as a passer in new offensive coordinator John Reagan's offense. He earned offensive MVP honors by accounting for two touchdowns.
Weis' decision to hand over the future of KU's offense to Cozart is the right one for several reasons.
First, Cozart has three years of eligibility remaining, giving him time to grow and improve, with some of his ups and downs as a young player likely to pay off later. Jake Heaps, his main competitor heading into the spring game, will be a senior in 2014. Cozart was pulled out of his redshirt as a freshman last season, starting three games and putting any freshman jitters in the past, allowing him to enter this season with knowledge of what to expect.
Second, Cozart brings the best combination of physical traits with his running ability and his passing skills continuing to develop. Earlier in the spring, Weis had talked of playing multiple quarterbacks and using them in different ways this fall, but Cozart's progress as a passer makes that unnecessary. If he continues to develop as a passer, he could become the complete package behind center. And his spring performance showed he's the best option for now and the future.
Last, Weis' decision to name Cozart the starter just days after the spring game is a sign of confidence. The decision allows the sophomore to settle in as the face of KU's offense, and it means the coach is confident that he has a quarterback. He said earlier in the spring that a lengthy quarterback battle that lasts deep into preseason camp means "you don't have one." If it all works out, Weis' confidence will breed confidence in Cozart and among his teammates.
Cozart finished his freshman season with 227 passing yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions in seven games, so it's not time to cement his spot on the preseason All-Big 12 team quite yet.
But naming Cozart as the starter could be remembered as the first step toward making KU's offense the most explosive of Weis' tenure.

- - Importance of a ration balancer...
Importance of a ration balancer... I'll include a link to the 'fact sheet' detailing one of the grains we feed. Essentially it's a soy / beet pulp mix, the old ladies get it because it's easy on their teeth, Jackson gets it a ) because we can't feed them without feeding him and b ) because he can be a tough keeper through the winter. The old ladies are going to get it with a mix of senior feed. The directions for use include a ration balancer and I'm going to be 100% honest and say I've NEVER fed a ration balancer. We used the same feed last year without a hitch, our picky eater (who wouldn't touch straight beet pulp or rice bran) loved it, and after losing a dangerous amount of weight gained and maintained well. Without a ration balancer. BUT, I'd like a little more information and maybe I'm just tired, but I can't find the importance anywhere. I don't know what balancer to buy, what I need, if I need it, if it's "dangerous" to feed grain without it or if it's just an added benefit. I want to get ahead of winter and our harder keepers this year, but I have zero time. Does anyone have any help to offer? Virtual cookies if you do. :wink: (and lets not suggest smartpak because they STILL wont send to Canada) http://ottercoop.com/_customelements...lFactSheet.pdf |
1 Attachment(s) Here's a page that explains it: Ration Balancer Benefits The people I know who feed beet pulp don't feed it alone, but as an add on. I'm guessing that it's recommending a ration balancer because the beet pulp on its on is probably not balanced nutritionally. I don't feed my horse grain, instead he only gets a ration balancer (KER All Phase). Since I do give him some powdered supplements, I add some timothy hay pellets to add more 'bulk' to his feed bucket without adding calories. My horse is a slightly plump, happy man and I want to keep him that way. |
Thank you for the link, DA! That's exactly what I was looking for. |
288 Attachment(s) A 'ration balancer' is a vitamin/mineral supplement which is important for a horse's health, because generally their diets will be deficient/imbalanced in a range of important nutrients. It depends what they get in their diet as to whether/which/how much of a supplement they may need - or not - so it's important to do at least a basic diet analysis before deciding which product to fork out on. The good ones generally aren't cheap, but you feed in such low doses that they are quite economical, while the cheaper ones are generally not great, need feeding in large quantities & are often a waste of money. But it depends what the horse is getting as to what it may need. FeedXL.com is one great resource for working out what's what there. |
For a normally easy keeper though would a ration balancer be better for them? Right now my spotted draft mare gets 2 quarts Purina Strategy(just switched to Purina off of Nutrena Safechoice) with 1 cup Nutrena Empower. |
288 Attachment(s) ^^Not sure I understand the question - better than?? A 'normal easy keeper' shouldn't require any extra feed, just a good nutritional supplement to 'balance' their diet. |
My horse is an easy keeper and like Loosie said, easy keepers dont really need extra grain. My horse only gets an RB as a way to round out his supplements and make sure there are no deficits. For peace of mind I plugged the data on all the available RBs in my area through FeedXL and the scores were right on target. I narrowed my choice down by a few minor personal preferences and reliability in terms of being able to get it fresh when I need it, which is only one bag every two months. It's been 18 months since I made the switch and my horse is sleek, shiny, and has terrific hooves. |

How to: Migrate to /clr
This topic discusses issues that arise when compiling native code with /clr (see /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation) for more information). /clr allows Visual C++ modules to invoke and be invoked from .NET assemblies while retaining compatibility with unmanaged modules. See Mixed (Native and Managed) Assemblies and Native and .NET Interoperability for more information on the advantages of compiling with /clr.
Visual Studio contains some known issues when compiling library projects with /clr:
Your code may query types at runtime with CRuntimeClass::FromName. However, if a type is in an MSIL .dll (compiled with /clr), the call to CRuntimeClass::FromName may fail if it occurs before the static constructors run in the managed .dll (you will not see this problem if the FromName call happens after code has executed in the managed .dll). To work around this problem, you can force the construction of the managed static constructor by defining a function in the managed .dll, exporting it, and invoking it from the native MFC application. For example:
// Extension DLL Header file: __declspec( dllexport ) void EnsureManagedInitialization () { // managed code that won't be optimized away System::GC::KeepAlive(System::Int32::MaxValue); }
Before using /clr on any module in your project, first compile and link your native project with Visual Studio 2010.
The following steps, followed in order, provide the easiest path to a /clr compilation. It is important to compile and run your project after each of these steps.
Projects previous built with Visual C++ 2003 should also first be compiled without /clr as Visual Studio now has increased ANSI/ISO compliance and some breaking changes. The change that is likely to require the most attention is Security Features in the CRT. Code that uses the CRT is very likely to produce deprecation warnings. These warnings can be suppressed, but migrating to the new Security-Enhanced Versions of CRT Functions is preferred, as they provide better security and may reveal security issues in your code.
Although Visual Studio will compile C files, it is necessary to convert them to C++ for a /clr compilation. The actual filename doesn't have to be changed; you can use /Tp (see /Tc, /Tp, /TC, /TP (Specify Source File Type).) Note that although C++ source code files are required for /clr, it is not necessary to re-factor your code to use object-oriented paradigms.
C code is very likely to require changes when compiled as a C++ file. The C++ type-safety rules are strict, so type conversions must be made explicit with casts. For example, malloc returns a void pointer, but can be assigned to a pointer to any type in C with a cast:
int* a = malloc(sizeof(int)); // C code int* b = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)); // C++ equivalent
Function pointers are also strictly type-safe in C++, so the following C code requires modification. In C++ it's best to create a typedef that defines the function pointer type, and then use that type to cast function pointers:
NewFunc1 = GetProcAddress( hLib, "Func1" ); // C code typedef int(*MYPROC)(int); // C++ equivalent NewFunc2 = (MYPROC)GetProcAddress( hLib, "Func2" );
C++ also requires that functions either be prototyped or fully defined before they can be referenced or invoked.
Identifiers used in C code that happen to be keywords in C++ (such as virtual, new, delete, bool, true, false, etc.) must be renamed. This can generally be done with simple search-and-replace operations.
Finally, whereas C-style COM calls require explicit use of the v-table and this pointer, C++ does not:
COMObj1->lpVtbl->Method(COMObj, args); // C code COMObj2->Method(args); // C++ equivalent
After your project compiles and runs in Visual Studio 2010 you should create new project configurations for /clr rather than modifying the default configurations. /clr is incompatible with some compiler options and creating separate configurations lets you build your project as native or managed. When /clr is selected in the property pages dialog box, project settings not compatible with /clr are disabled (and disabled options are not automatically restored if /clr is subsequently unselected).
You can use Copy Settings From option in the New Project Configuration Dialog Box to create a project configuration based on your existing project settings. Do this once for the Debug configuration and once for Release configuration. Subsequent changes can then be applied to the /clr -specific configurations only, leaving the original project configurations intact.
Projects that use custom build rules may require extra attention.
This step has different implications for projects that use makefiles. In this case a separate build-target can be configured, or version specific to /clr compilation can be created from a copy of the original.
/clr can be selected in the development environment by following the instructions in /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation). As mentioned previously, this step will automatically disable conflicting project settings.
Note |
When upgrading a managed library or web service project from Visual C++ 2003, the /Zl compiler option will added to the Command Line property page. This will cause LNK2001. Remove /Zl from the Command Line property page to resolve. See /Zl (Omit Default Library Name) and How to: Open Project Property Pages for more information. Or, add msvcrt.lib and msvcmrt.lib to the linker's Additional Dependencies property. |
For projects built with makefiles, incompatible compiler options must be disabled manually once /clr is added. See //clr Restrictions for information on compiler options that are not compatible with /clr.
Precompiled headers are supported under /clr. However, if you only compile some of your CPP files with /clr (compiling the rest as native) some changes will be required because precompiled headers generated with /clr are not compatible with those generated without /clr. This incompatibility is due to the fact that /clr generates and requires metadata. Modules compiled /clr can therefore not use precompiled headers that don't include metadata, and non /clr modules can't use precompiled header files that do contain meta data.
The easiest way to compile a project where some modules are compiled /clr is to disable precompiled headers entirely. (In the project Property Pages dialog, open the C/C++ node, and select Precompiled Headers. Then change the Create/Use Precompiled Headers property to "Not Using Precompiled Headers".)
However, particularly for large projects, precompiled headers provide much better compilation speed, so disabling this feature is not desirable. In this case it's best to configure the /clr and non /clr files to use separate precompiled headers. This can be done in one step by multi-selecting the modules to be compiled /clr using the Solution Explorer, right-clicking on the group, and selecting Properties. Then change both the Create/Use PCH Through File and Precompiled Header File properties to use a different header file name and PCH file respectively.
Compiling with /clr may result in compiler, linker or runtime errors. This section discusses the most common problems.
Differing versions of data types can cause the linker to fail because the metadata generated for the two types doesn't match. (This is usually caused when members of a type are conditionally defined, but the conditions are not the same for all CPP files that use the type.) In this case the linker fails, reporting only the symbol name and the name of the second OBJ file where the type was defined. It is often useful to rotate the order that OBJ files are sent to the linker to discover the location of the other version of the data type.
In Visual C++ .NET and Visual C++ 2003, initialization under /clr was susceptible to non-deterministic deadlock. This issue is known as "loader lock deadlock". In Visual Studio 2010, this deadlock is easier to avoid, it is detected and reported at runtime, and is no longer non-deterministic. Encountering the loader lock problem is still possible, but now it's much easier to avoid and fix. See Initialization of Mixed Assemblies for detailed background, guidance, and solutions.
Exporting DLL data is error-prone, and not recommended. This is because the data section of a DLL is not guaranteed to be initialized until some managed portion of the DLL has been executed. Reference metadata with #using Directive (C++).
Native types are now private by default. In Visual C++ .NET 2002 and Visual C++ 2003, native types were public by default. This can result in a native type not being visible outside the DLL. Resolve this error by adding public to these types. See Type and Member Visibility for more information.
__controlfp is not supported on the common language runtime (see _control87, _controlfp, __control87_2 for more information). The CLR will also not respect align (C++).
The Common Language Runtime initializes COM automatically when a module is initialized (when COM is initialized automatically it's done so as MTA). As a result, explicitly initializing COM yields return codes indicating that COM is already initialized. Attempting to explicitly initialize COM with one threading model when the CLR has already initialized COM to another threading model can cause your application to fail.
The common language runtime starts COM as MTA by default; use /CLRTHREADATTRIBUTE (Set CLR Thread Attribute) to modify this.
You may see decreased performance when native C++ methods generated to MSIL are called indirectly (virtual function calls or using function pointers). To learn more about this, see Double Thunking (C++).
When moving from native to MSIL, you will notice an increase in the size of your working set. This is because the common language runtime provides many features to ensure that programs run correctly. If your /clr application is not running correctly, you may want to enable C4793 (off by default), see Compiler Warning (level 1 and 3) C4793 for more information.
In some cases, the CLR can shutdown before your managed code is finished running. Using std::set_terminate and SIGTERM can cause this. See signal Constants and set_terminate (<exception>) for more information.
After your application compiles, links, and runs, you can begin using .NET features in any module compiled with /clr. For more information, see Component Extensions for Runtime Platforms.
If you used Managed Extensions for C++, you can convert your code to use the new syntax. For a summary of syntactical differences, see the Managed Extensions for C++ Syntax Upgrade Checklist. For details on converting Managed Extensions for C++, see C++/CLI Migration Primer.

Then, of course, it became clear: someone had cleaned out every junkyard in the area of 70s Detroit land-barge opera lights and installed them all on his Dodge van (apologies for the crapola camera-phone shots)...I'm having a tough time putting my finger on the exact make and model of the donor cars, but I'm leaning toward a full-sized FoMoCo product from the mid-to-late-70s era. In any case, 30 junkyard opera lights (I counted) on an otherwise unremarkable beater van gets the Jalopnik Seal of Approval. It's just disappointing that I didn't get the chance to see them at night, in all their glory. Related: Question of the Day: What's on Your Dekotora? [internal]

text: A Shaky GovernmentIn the 1990s, Pakistan saw a shaky succession of governments—Benazir Bhutto was prime minister twice and deposed twice and Nawaz Sharif three times, until he was deposed in a coup on Oct. 12, 1999, by Gen. Pervez Musharraf. The Pakistani public, familiar with military rule for 25 of the nation's 52-year history, generally viewed the coup as a positive step and hoped it would bring a badly needed economic upswing. To the surprise of much of the world, two new nuclear powers emerged in May 1998 when India, followed by Pakistan just weeks later, conducted nuclear tests. Fighting with India again broke out in the disputed territory of Kashmir in May 1999. Close ties with Afghanistan's Taliban government thrust Pakistan into a difficult position following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Under U.S. pressure, Pakistan broke with its neighbor to become the United States' chief ally in the region. In return, President Bush ended sanctions (instituted after Pakistan's testing of nuclear weapons in 1998), rescheduled its debt, and helped to bolster the legitimacy of the rule of Pervez Musharraf, who appointed himself president in 2001. On Dec. 13, 2001, suicide bombers attacked the Indian parliament, killing 14 people. Indian officials blamed the attack on Islamic militants supported by Pakistan. Both sides assembled hundreds of thousands of troops along their common border, bringing the two nuclear powers to the brink of war.
