how to set envelope times in Dune 2
I've looked through the owner's manual about this but didn't find anything useful. My question is this - is it possible to set amplitude and filter envelopes in terms of milliseconds and not in terms of percentage (such as 0% to 100%). Thanks.

COBWEB CORNERS: Potato chips and cameras
By Mel McFarland
In this job, I am occasionally challenged to support something. I did a column about aromas. Here is one for you today, and it fits in with one of my favorite streets: "The Avenue." Ever go walking down the street and pick up an aroma you had not sniffed in years?
In 1949, when the Golden Cycle Mill closed, my father, like many on the Westside, found himself looking for a job. He had worked in a bakery in the Army and in Colorado Springs before he got his mill job. A few of the guys heard that a new factory was hiring in Colorado City. My dad ventured over and was hired. Frank Lynch needed good help. He had started his business downtown behind Goodyear Tires. Now, on the south side of the 2300 block of Colorado Avenue, across from Safeway on the north side (today's Goodwill Store), he built a large factory. This spot had been the site of the Safeway Garage. In his modern building, Lynch set up an assembly line. What did the factory make? Potato chips! Golden Flake Potato Chips. I loved to go visit. The smell for a 6-year-old lad was heaven. There were even buckets of rejects you could have! Unfortunately it turned out to be only a temporary step for my dad. Today the building is part of the Goodwill complex. The factory was bought out in 1960, moved to Sinton Road and eventually closed.
Someday I will talk about where some of the guys had lunch (the Merri Lane), but between there and F&L Foods, Bill Henderson had a camera shop. My dad knew Bill, and so would I as I grew up. Anyway, around this time, Bill had a young man working in his photo lab. One day a few of the fellows invited him to join them down at the other end of the block, at the drug store. Little did he know this was going to change his life!
There was a nice young waitress down there, and the fellows sort of liked her, and they thought Tony ought to meet her. Before he knew it, there the two of them were, and the other fellows were gone! The two of them hit it off, and they have since celebrated many years of marriage. Today Bill's camera shop is gone, but he also started one of the Pike's Peak Region's last truly hometown banks in Old Colorado City. And Tony - he has had a very fine camera shop downtown for many years. He has a spot where he can watch, through telescopes, my trains on top of the Peak!

Library Ed. Blackstone Audio 1996
CS ISBN $76.95 Eleven cassettes
No other Canadian novelist is lauded and read as widely outside his homeland as Robertson Davies. His characters fascinate, and his gentle, graceful style makes no demands on the reader. His civilized prose should read well aloud--indeed, Davidson helps one hear its strengths. He provides an intelligent, expressive, well-paced rendering of the narrative about a Canadian university professor, as well as vivid impersonations of the characters. However, he has trouble with the "authorial voice." In his mouth, the narrative has a sarcastic, even cynical, edge, whereas Davies's words, though not without humor and irony, are far more empathetic.

New to PIP and the Motability Scheme
If you are awarded the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of PIP you may be eligible to join the Motability Scheme.
If you have 12 months or more remaining on your current allowance then you can apply to lease a car, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), scooter or powered wheelchair.
Watch our short video to see how the Motability Scheme works
How does it work?
You simply exchange all or part of your mobility allowance to lease a vehicle of your choice. After three years, either hand back your car, or if you'd like to stay on the Motability Scheme, you can choose to lease a new vehicle for another three years.
What's included?
Apart from fuel, everything else you need is provided as part of the leasing package:
You'll be fully insured
If you choose to lease a car or WAV, you can name two drivers on your insurance so you can still enjoy worry-free motoring even if you don't drive
Full breakdown assistance is included
All servicing, maintenance and repairs are covered, so there are no unexpected repair bills
Find out more about:
If your allowance ends during your lease
If your PIP allowance is due to end during your agreement it's your responsibility to ensure it is renewed on time with the DWP so you can continue to lease through the Motability Scheme. If the DWP decide you are no longer eligible for the allowance you'll have to return the vehicle, there will be no further lease payments after the vehicle has been returned or any penalty charges.
car Leasing a car
The Motability Scheme has a wide range of over 2,000 cars to choose from and there are three pricing options:
- Cars that cost less than your mobility allowance , meaning your keep any money left over
- Cars cost the same as your mobility allowance , so you swap your allowance for the car of your choice
- Cars that use your full mobility allowance and also require an Advance Payment , so you can increase your choice further by paying a one-off upfront payment
Cars are available on a three year lease with a mileage allowance up to 60,000.
If you need adaptations to help make your driving or travelling experience easier there are currently over 350 adaptations available to help with driving, access and stowage. Many of these are available at no extra cost when fitted at the start of your lease.
Find out more about leasing a car
wav Leasing a WAV
If you find transferring from your wheelchair into a standard car and storing your wheelchair difficult, a WAV could make travelling a lot easier for you. WAVs are vehicle that have been converted by specialists so that wheelchair users can travel in them while remaining in their wheelchair, either as a passenger or a driver.
Brand new WAVs are available on a five year lease with a mileage allowance up to 100,000. A limited number of Nearly New WAVs are available on a three year lease with a mileage allowance up to 60,000. Nearly New WAVs come with the same all inclusive worry-free lease package and are often a more affordable way to lease a WAV on the Motability Scheme.
Find out more about leasing a WAV
pws Leasing a scooter or powered wheelchair
If your lifestyle is more suited to short journeys and you can travel fairly independently, a scooter or powered wheelchair could help with your mobility.
There are more than 300 products to choose from, ranging from small boot scooters to large road ready scooters for going longer distances and carrying heavier loads. Virtually all of our scooters and powered wheelchairs cost less than your weekly allowance so you'll have money left over.

Here are all the fantastically amazing entries posted during May, 2010
Life In Boxes
I just moved to a new place and my computer is buried under several hundred thousand other boxes, so there won't not be no lack of new slaps not posted this week. Until then, have a great week kiddos!
CIA Almost Produced Fake Saddam Gay Sex Tape
The United State's Central Intelligence Agency's Iraq Operations Group had proposed creating and circulating a fake gay sex tape depicting Saddam Hussein with a teenage boy. The idea was that Iraqis would be so shocked with the grainy camera footage that the entire Saddam regime would become destabilized and easier to invade.
Thankfully—very, very thankfully—higher authorities at the CIA rejected the idea before it was put into action. A CIA operative, speaking on the condition of anonymity dismissed the plan as having "no resonance in the Middle East." "Nobody cares," he said. "Trying to mount such a campaign would show a total misunderstanding of the target. We always mistake our own taboos as universal when, in fact, they are just our taboos."
Interesting perspective, but with all due respect to this CIA guy, I think having sex with Saddam Freakin' Hussein was taboo pretty much everywhere.

Canada May Allow Gay Blood Donors
A group of doctors has come forward in support of lifting Canadian Blood Services' permanent deferral of gay men donating blood. In a medical paper published in yesterday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, several doctors submitted that the ban is unscientific, harmful and must be reconsidered. A step in the right direction, if Canadian Blood Services takes notice.
In Canada, all potential blood donors must fill out a questionnaire before getting in the chair. Any man who answers yes to a question asking if he has had sex with another man—even once—since the 1970s is permanently barred from donating.
Canada has been facing a blood shortage, and while the safety of the blood supply is more important than the right of any individual to donate, the questionnaire is flawed; it filters potential donors based purely on who they are, not through any scientific risk analysis. This not only turns away healthy gay donors and fails to catch unhealthy heterosexual ones, but also perpetuates the myth that all gay men are inherently dangerous. Replacing the question with one that, instead, filters potential donors based on a history of risky behaviour irrespective of their gender would solve these issues.
Hopefully Canadian Blood Services will take note. And who knows? With more and more medical experts coming out against the ban, maybe one day I, too, will be able to experience the pleasure of having my veins punctured with hollow metal spikes, and watch litres of blood leave my body into bags until I feel woozy.

Happy Victoria Day
Well, it's Victoria Day in Canada. For those unfamiliar with this grim holiday, tradition demands that one citizen be selected by lottery and sacrificed to appease the ghost of Queen Victoria. This goes back to the mid 19th century, where the vengeful Queen wished this curse on Canada as reparation for Princess Louise's terrifying sleigh accident in February of 1840. Of course, nowadays the sacrificial ceremony is all done in effigy as solemn historical remembrance. Queen Victoria, having calmed herself a bit in the afterlife, seems to be OK with it. Regular posts will resume on Wednesday. Have a great holiday, kids!
Canada To Deport Another Gay Refugee Claimant
A 29-year-old gay man is going to be deported from Canada to Iran, where he could face death by stoning for charges of sodomy. The young man, identified only as Yaser, had his deportation ordered after the Immigration Refugee Board determined that he could not be gay because he could not identify the rainbow flag and didn't attend a Pride parade.
While I certainly don't have enough information to personally conclude if Yaser is gay or not, I can say for certain that the IRB's methods are presumptuous and seriously flawed. Either that, or I guess I wasn't gay all those years that I didn't attend Pride.
Canada's record of accommodating gay refugees is atrocious, and is getting worse with each case. The board often declines refugees for failing to prove they are gay—a trait they had gone to great extends to hide in their home country. The inability to deal with gay refugee cases sensitively isn't just Canada's problem, either. Kiana Firouz, a 27-year-old lesbian is also fighting a deportation order from the United Kingdom to Iran, where she faces death by hanging for being gay.
Gay Malawians Sentenced For "Unnatural Acts"
Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, a gay couple in their twenties have been found guilty of "unnatural acts" in a Malawian court yesterday. The two were arrested in late December while celebrating their recent engagement with a party. Now that the verdict has been delivered, they could face a prison term of up to 14 years.
The court ruling was was delivered in a building made of highly unnatural concrete, lit unnaturally by glass tubes coated with unnatural phosphoric powder, excited by billions and billions of electrons carried through an unnatural system of wires. The court verdict was recorded into a computer, which interestingly enough, was natural, having been picked that morning from a computer tree.
Homosexuality, incidentally, has been observed in hundreds upon hundreds of species in the most unnatural environment of all: Nature.
Pope: Gay Marriage "Insidious And Dangerous"
Pope Benedict XVI has called same-sex marriage one of the two most "insidious and dangerous threats" facing the world today. (The other being abortion.)
Well, everyone's entitled to—hey, I just remembered something! I don't give a flying ball of ass over what an 83-year-old celibate charged with overseeing the most sexually dysfunctional institution on earth thinks about what constitutes a dangerous relationship.

Civil Marriage Commissioner Bill Goes To Court
A discriminatory bill that would allow civil marriage commissioners to refuse their public services to gay couples went before the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal yesterday. The bill was, strangely enough, brought to court by the government that's ultimately trying to introduce it in an attempt to predetermine its constitutionality.
I'm certainly no lawyer, but the fact that the provincial government even has to consult the courts shows what a constitutionally shaky bit of nonsense this is. I mean, I can't imagine how allowing people to refuse public services based on personally held beliefs can mesh with Canada's Charter of Rights. Civil marriage commissioners provide non-religious ceremonies for couples that do not wish to be married by a priest in a church. If these commissioners interpret their personal religious texts in a way that forbids them from serving a segment of the public in a professional capacity—and that's a pretty big stretch, if you ask me—then they've chosen a career forbidden by their faith and had better choose another.
Personally, I have a feeling that we have nothing to worry about, but if my intuition is wrong and the court rules in favour of the bill, then I have a ton of questions. In addition to gays, could civil marriage commissioners refuse to marry an inter-faith couple? How about a couple who has a child out of wedlock? Does this incredible trump card apply to other careers? Could a vegetarian working at a provincial registry refuse to file paperwork for hunting licenses? What about a pharmacist who's a Scientologist refusing to fill prescriptions for anti-depressants? Can a doctor who's a Jehovah's witness refuse to perform blood transfusions?
And if those questions are too hypothetical at this point, how about a thick-headed premier who's an Annelidaterian forcing all Saskatonians to open a massive can of writhing, slimy earthworms?
I guess we'll find out soon!
Senator Moves To Disallow Gay Families From Campsites
A Republican senator from Iowa is severely irked over the idea that gay couples should be allowed alongside heterosexual families on state campsites.
Lawmakers in Iowa have proposed updating the books so that gay couples will qualify for a family permit when camping. This would allow gay families to set up two tents on the same site so children and other state-defined dependents can join in on the weenie and marshmallow roasts. This, of course, sent state Republican Merlin Bartz into fits.
"A lot of the advocates of gay marriage in Iowa has said 'It doesn't affect anything; nothing has changed'," Bartz told the press, "but the reality of it is that everything is changing."
And, gosh, what a change this is. Gay parents are bringing their families to camp sites! That's one of the signs of Armageddon, isn't it?
(Thanks to Slap reader Kevin for alerting me to this one!)
Tories Cut Pride Funding
Pride Toronto has been denied any funding this year from the federal government. The festival, which had previously been supported with federal tourism programs, brought in an estimated $100 million in tourism dollars last year, most of which was subject to GST/PST.
This denial of funds is not much of a surprise considering the Conservative's attack on gay festivals last year. Diane Ablonsky was removed from her position immediately after announcing that she had allocated $400,000 to Pride Toronto to help make the festival events more accessible to people with disabilities. Immediately after, the Tories cut funding to Montréal's Divers/Cité festival and the Black and Blue festival.
Don't think that these cuts were across the board, mind you. The federal government has still allocated $100,000,000 over two years to support tourism in Canada. Industry Minister Tony Clement touted the program as representing "every corner of Canada," but I guess gays aren't in one of those corners, since not a single gay cultural event is represented.
Here are a few of the things that are:
- Burlington's Ribfest will get $98,610
- The Gatineau balloon festival will be receiving $170,000
- The Ontario Plowmen's Association will receive $255,460
- The Norfolk Horse Show will get $171,000
- Old Home Week will receive $134,888
And let's not forget the Calgary Stampede, which will receive $1,001,625. That's only $80,000 less than the second balloon festival being given federal funds this year, the Saint-Jean-sur-Richeliu balloon festival, at $1,082,100.
Well, I sure hope some of those balloons are rainbow-coloured, because that's about as gay as it's going to get this year.

Toronto Mayoral Candidate Motions To Defund Pride
Giorgio Mammoliti, a Toronto city councillor and mayoral candidate in the upcoming municipal election, has officially motioned to withdraw funding from Toronto Pride, one of North America's largest gay pride festivals and a massive tourism boost for the city. Mammoliti's proposal comes with a condition, however—a little ultimatum that would let him micromanage which groups are allowed to march in the Pride parade.
You see, Toronto Pride, like many gay groups, is currently involved in some community infighting. The sort of gay drama that would make a drag queen proud. Specifically, it's over whether or not to vet parade banners to regulate exactly how tolerant versus free-speechy everything is—or something like that; I don't know all the details.
What I do know is that Mammoliti, not satisfied with leaving the community to manage these things on its own like it always does, has decided to leverage the minor controversy and attempt the defunding of the festival from the city's budget entirely.
The gist of the motion is this: If a group called Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, whose controversial signs were a sore spot for some community members last year, is allowed to march in the Pride parade, then the City of Toronto's 2010 "funding and support" of the festival will be revoked entirely.
Now, Mammoliti has a documented history of anti-gay attitudes. He once dismissed gay relationships in a discussion about human rights by declaring that our "body part's aren't complementary; they don't fit together." (Err… Should we explain it to him? I really hope that won't require a diagram.)
He also went on to quote from a bizarre sado-masochism manual, as if all gay people—and no straight people—are into that sort of thing. "What does that say about the [gay] community?" he asked, rhetorically.
Not sure about that one, but it does makes me think. What do weaselly city council motions from Toronto mayoral candidates say about the suit-wearing community?

Still Think Pray-Away-The-Gay Works, George Rekers?
The idea that homosexuality can be eliminated through prayer is about as old as it is wrong. I like to think that there aren't many people who still believe it, but just this week a member of the UK's large Conservative party declared, on record, that homosexuality is "the work of demons," and can be cured through "the power of prayer."
You know who else thinks that gays can be turned straight? George Rekers, one of the United State's most prominent anti-gay activists. He, along with his good friend, James Dobson, founded the Family Research Council, a large anti-gay organization whose initiatives have caused incalculable suffering. He actively sought to end all legal protections for gay citizens ranging from marriage rights and adoption rights to simple protection from hate crimes. He also encourages parents to send their young teens to discredited and harmful rehabilitation camps so they can be "cured" of homosexuality.
Now, this has happened enough times that you can probably just assume where this is going, but guess who was caught hiring a young, male prostitute from one of the web's most prominent gay escort sites to accompany him on a European vacation? (Here's a hint: it's George Rekers.)
Rekers, who was photographed with his rent boy at the airport, claims he simply hired the sex worker to help him carry his luggage. I guess he probably wouldn't have been satisfied with the complimentary help that most airports provide. Plus, luggage carrying usually requires the sort of "smooth, sweet, tight ass" that Reker's luggage-carrier advertised on his gay escort website. (You know, the gay escort site where Reker found him… to carry luggage.)
If you want to hear from Rekers himself on the topic of everything gay, be sure to check out his booklet, "Prevention of Homosexuality," which can be picked up at any of the pray-away-the-gay seminars hosted by Exodus International. (Also available in Portuguese! A Prevenção da Homossexualidade.)

Hate Crime Gets Tough Sentence
A Vancouver man has been given a harsh, year-long prison sentence for assaulting a gay man back in September, 2008.
Jordan Smith was holding hands with his boyfriend as they walked along the street in Vancouver's gay district when he was attacked by Michael Kandola. The attack knocked Smith out cold and broke his jaw, requiring surgery to have it wired shut.
Smith had never held hands with his boyfriend in public before and hasn't done so since.
Kandola's lawyers argued that the assault, caught on film by a security camera, should not be considered a hate crime—a notion that the judge rightfully dismissed. The attacker shouted anti-gay slurs before and after the assault, even as the victim was laying unconscious on the ground.
This is one of the first gay bashings to be ultimately ruled a hate crime under sections 318 and 319 of Canada's criminal code—a very welcome change from the norm.
You see, occasionally, I hear some nonsense about how "all crimes are hate crimes," and that tougher sentences shouldn't be given in instances like Smith's attack. I could not disagree as completely as I do with this sentiment. Hate crimes are different from regular crimes in that they target an entire community, not just a single victim. They send the message that all gay people had better watch their backs. This ruling sends the message that anyone who would terrorize the gay community with violence should watch theirs.

Here's some fairly minor walking lore relating to James Burnett, Lord Monboddo (1714-1799), a Scottish judge, linguist, and (I suppose you'd have to say) philosopher, one of the early theorists of evolution. On no obvious scientific basis he posited the notion that men were descended from apes. He's even mentioned in Martin Chuzzlewick.
He seems not to have been taken all that seriously by contemporaries. According to a piece in The Herald and Genealogist, Volume the Third, 1866, "it is said that Lord Kames, to whom he would on one occasion have yielded precedence, declined it, saying. 'By no means, my Lord, you must walk first, that I may see your tail'."
That's him below on the far right, Lord Kames on far left, Hugo Arnot in the middle: the etching is by John Kay:
And he's the fellow second from the right in this one:
There's another walking story about Monboddo that I have yet to fully fathom. On one occasion he came out of court to find it was raining. A sedan chair was waiting for him but he declined to use it, calmly placed his wig in the chair, and walked home in the rain. Some sources say this was because he employed the methods of "the ancients" to keep fit, but that hardly seems a complete explanation.

'Doobie Brothers' hit sweet notes for Rangersby Chuck Gormley
The torrid New York Rangers have discovered some magic in the unlikely trio of center Brandon Dubinsky, left wing Aaron Voros and right wing Nikolai Zherdev.
"The Doobie Brothers" -- we'll take credit for coining the name -- entered the weekend with a League-best 19 points in their first six games and have dismissed the rumors of the Rangers being a one-line team.
"You can see," Rangers coach Tom Renney said of his second line, "the sum of the parts."
So, who are these three guys and how did Renney come up with the idea of putting them together?
At 22, Dubinsky is one of the NHL's rising young stars and is quickly becoming a fan favorite in New York.
"He seems like he's getting better by the second," Rangers captain Chris Drury said. "Every game he has more and more confidence, stronger on the puck, everything."
Even before his goal-scoring binge, fans in Madison Square Garden were chanting "Doo-bie, Doo-bie" when Dubinsky was introduced in the home opener.
"It's special," Dubinsky said of the warm reception. "I want to be that player that fans like because I'm willing to put it on the line every night for my teammates."
A native of Anchorage, Alaska, Dubinsky was part of the Rangers' massive rebuilding project in late 2003-04 as the Rangers sold off several veterans and, in return, obtained 6 picks in the first 2 rounds of the 2004 Entry Draft. Of those 6 selections,
only Dubinsky, who was taken at No. 60, and rookie center Lauri Korpikoski, selected at No. 19, are currently on the Rangers' roster.
Compared to most NHL forwards, Dubinsky is a bit of a late bloomer. After playing 4 full seasons with the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western HockeyLeague, the Rangers sent him to the Hartford Wolf Pack for a full season in the AHL.
After Dubinsky made the Rangers roster as a 21-year-old last season, he was one of 16 rookies selected to participate in the 2008 YoungStars competition at the NHL All-Star Game in Atlanta. Dubinsky scored a pair of goals and assisted on another and was named the YoungStars' Most Valuable Player.
"I certainly think it was good for me," Dubinsky said of his time in the minors. "I learned a lot of things in the American League. I think playing in juniors, I was a little bit one-track minded. I focused on scoring and offense a lot and kind of didn't have a defensive aspect to my game. I kind of relied on my talent level to get me through."
Even as a rookie, Renney was impressed enough with Dubinsky's skills to move him onto a top line with Jaromir Jagr and Sean Avery. The 6-foot-1, 210-pounder did something neither Scott Gomez nor Chris Drury could accomplish before him -- he helped pull Jagr out of a long scoring slump, ultimately pulling the Rangers with him.
But when summer arrived and Jagr shuffled off to play in Russia and Avery signed with Dallas, Renney needed to find Dubinsky a new set of wingers.
When Zherdev looked out of place on a top line with center Scott Gomez and left wing Markus Naslund, Renney tried putting Zherdev with Dubinsky and replaced left wing Nigel Dawes with Voros.
The result? Magic.
In its first five games, the line of Dubinsky, the dealer, Voros, the net crasher, and Zherdev, the sniper, combined for 8 goals and the Rangers started the season with 5-straight wins, their best start since 1983.
"I want to be that player that fans like because I'm willing to put it on the line every night for my teammates."
-- Brandon Dubinsky
Voros, 27, is living proof that being a long shot is better than not having a shot at all. A native of Vancouver who grew up an avid Rangers fan, Voros actually rooted against his hometown Canucks when the Rangers beat them in the 1994 Stanley Cup Final. He was 12 years old at the time and his dreams of playing in the
NHL were just that.
"It's definitely a dream come true," Voros said of his opportunity with the Rangers, "and I'm definitely blessed to be in the position I'm in."
When the New Jersey Devils drafted Voros in the eighth round of the 2001 NHL Draft, he was a longshot to play in the NHL and was eventually dealt to the Minnesota Wild for a seventh rounder.
In November of 2003, when Voros was 21, doctors found a vascular tumor under his knee cap and informed him his left leg would need to be amputated to give him the best chance of beating cancer. Voros sought other options and after 7 surgeries and 8 weeks of treatment to combat a staph infection, he was back on his feet. He gained back more than 40 pounds the following summer and redirected his energies toward reaching the NHL.
That happened last season when he played 55 games for the Wild and was nominated for the Bill Masterton Trophy for his perseverance and dedication to hockey.
"I get pretty jacked up after a goal," Voros admits. "You don't have a heartbeat if it doesn't feel good."
Voros says he hasn't done anything special to score 3 goals in his first 6 games.
"The guys around me make me look good," he said. "I just stand there. I have the easiest job in the rink."
Renney knows better. He believes Voros' willingness to get whacked -- by opposing goaltenders and defensemen -- makes him the perfect replacement for Avery.
"I don't want to say I'm surprised because I don't think I am," Renney said of Voros' sudden success after netting just 7 goals as a fourth-liner with Minnesota last season. "We got him for a reason."
Still, it's clear Voros is the sandpaper that makes the 'Doobie Brothers' difficult to play against.
"I think people are going to learn that's our identity - we work," he said. "We've got a lot of talent in here, and this talent works. It's a pretty mean mix, and it's going to be a fun team to watch and play with."
If Dubinsky and Voros are the hammer and nails on the Rangers' second line, Zherdev is the veneer.
"Certain guys mesh well together. That line, all the young guys, played well. That's how we're going to have to play this year. Each guy is going to have to go for it." -- Scott GomezAcquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets during the summer to replace the enigmatic Jagr, Zherdev was a disappointment in the preseason while playing alongside Gomez and Naslund. The NO. 4 pick in the 2003 Draft, Zherdev was criticized in Columbus for his disdain for playing defense.
He was a minus-19 in 2006-07, but seemed to turn the corner under demanding head coach Ken Hitchcock last season, scoring 26 goals and finishing a more respectable minus-9.
At 23, Zherdev is still learning the English language and some believe he may return to Russia after this season. Naslund said he hopes Zherdev sticks it out and becomes the natural goal scorer everyone projects him to be.
"It's a bigger adjustment coming over from Europe than people think," Naslund said. "I've played (against) him quite a bit in the West. He has exceptional skill; he's a game-breaker who can make those moves that a lot of guys can't."
Now in the final year of his contract, Zherdev is taking a wait-and-see approach to this season. It's clear where Renney would like to see him continue his playing career.
"Whatever his options are after this year, we'd like to be No. 1 on that list," he said.
For now, Renney and the Rangers are simply hoping the time the team spent bonding in Europe during their season-opening trip and the emergence of Dubinsky, Voros and Zherdev will help offset the losses of Jagr and Brendan Shanahan and go a long way in determining the balance of power in the Atlantic Division.
"I think our guys recognize that it's a very special year for lots of reasons," Renney said. "We don't have some very good players here with us anymore, and some good men that are not with us. And I think those in our leadership group have really decided they have to step up and respond accordingly."
Dubinsky, for one, seems comfortable playing that role.
"I think I can speak for 23 guys when I say that we enjoy coming to the rink every day and working hard together and having fun together," he said. "That's certainly something that has changed here and it's exciting.
Voros agreed.
"I'm starting to realize," he said, "this might be the closest team I've ever been a part of."

After the Munbreakton a couple of months ago, we're back at it again with some new shit!
Looking at the name of the EP you might have a thought so let me confirm that with the following:
Yes. we have a shared dislike for the H&M stores so why not represent that with a cheap ass cover!
Now for some talk about the tracks before you listen to it:
Pun Aint Dead *link*
Who the fuck invited Pun? Yeah I did, fuck you. Who said he is dead? He's back for a sec on this raw 2010 Moombahton flavoured version of his track 100%!!!
Chavvi *link*
This song is me having fun. I was chatting with a chick that loved the Munbreakton EP. She happened to like bhangra. I've always loved bhangra. So what I did was take bhangra, dirty house and put a bit of Heartbreak into it. The original was 130, but as Moombahton it sounded 10 times better.
Esta Noche *link*
After the Kuduro Promo I have been listening to alot of Soul/R&B/Rap from the 90's. Shit, i'd listen to that 90's Soul vibe 24/7 back then. Either that or some Rap. Well, before the whole Reggeton addiction that got out of hand lol. I always wanted to do a Moombahton remix of this one. What happened to Montell anyway?
Arroz Con Pollo *link*
On this song right here, when me and Munchi were coming up with 'The Bridge'. The idea: Lets take some old school hip hop and see what would happen if we flipped. I grab this sample, and ran with it. I felt like a kid in a candy store.
Face off *link*
The last track we did for the EP. We wanted this to be the best moombahton edit ever!! So what we did was like a face off: Heartbreak vs Munchi. Each having one round to show people what we got. Back to the basics on this one, on some vieja escuela shit. Afrojack's style, 108 beats, Dutch House meets Reggeton.
So now that you are informed on the tracks, ep and some more blablabla..

There were approximately 18 single engine and 3 multi-engine aircraft based at the airport with 1,800 operations per month.
Approximately 19 single engine aircraft, 2 multi-engine and 1 amphibian based at the airport. Approximately 1800 operations monthly.
VOR/DME approach approved (18 SE and 3 based aircraft.). Approach later de-activated due to inaccuracies.
July 1973-1975
All of the above mentioned businesses came into Gallatin. This increased the number of corporate aircraft
using the airport (don't have the number of based aircraft).
A row of 10 T-Hangers was built. A jet fuel depot was installed. The runway was lengthened. The Gallatin Airport Commission was formed with Harold Duffer as the Chairman. Ramp was expanded.
Ten T-Hangars were built, the County signed the note to finance, the Gallatin Airport business made the payments and kept the monies collected and at the end of ten years the T-Hangars were to belong to the County and now they do. Donnelley Printing Company wanted jet fuel, so they loaned some money to the County to help pay for the installation. The jet fuel was added in 1984. This debt was paid back to the county by a $.03 on the gallon of jet fuel that was sold monthly. The County in turn paid Donnelley. The runway was strengthened to permit G-2's and G-3's to land here. This was the year the Airport Committee was formed. This committee works independent of G.F.S. or the present operations. Harold Duffer was the first Chairman of this Committee. He did an outstanding job, but took himself off because he felt he had a conflict of interest. At this time Duffer stated the improvements made had added 3 quarters of a million dollars to this airport. 98% of funding came from Federal and State. The Committee working with the Bureau of Aernautics planned for a terminal building and paved parking.
VASI lights were installed. The VA program was phased out by the Government resulting in a contraction of instruction operations. At this time the managers of the Sparta White, Cookeville, Portland and Bowling Green airports had had their training at Gallatin. One of the pilots for the State of TN had taken his Multi-Engine training here. Also, Corporations based locally came to Harold Chambers for pilot recommendations. HENNY PENNY, SHONEYS, MEL TILLIS, L & C.
Runway was lengthened to 5000 feet to accommodate jet aircraft and strengthened to handle Gulf stream II's. Also additional ramp space was added. Gallatin Airport Commission formed. Harold Duffer - first chairman.
Bowling Green and Portland still sending students to Gallatin.

The cases of someone gaining instantaneous fame and success are far and few between. If you're just sitting back on your laurels awaiting for stardom to come knocking on your door, you're probably going be waiting there a loooong, long time. The "Greats" in any field have likely been knocked down, rejected, laughed at, spit on, etc. before they gained a solid foothold and made a decent name for themselves.
Having a successful career as a writer is no different (and we've discussed different forms of success in the past, so I won't get into that aspect at the moment.) A quick Google search can have you finding how many times your favorite authors were rejected before they had a book picked up and published.
Scrolling through social media will have you seeing book deal announcements and others having self-publishing success. It can be disheartening, but you are not alone and that's no reason to throw in the metaphoric towel. Many people who don't write think it's an easy task. How many of us have had a conversation similar to this?
Them: "Oh! You're a writer? I could do that…I've got this idea that would definitely be the next great American novel, ya know? I could totally do it, if I just had the time."
You: "Umm, yes well, let me know how that goes for you…"
But as us actual writers know, it's not an easy task. It takes time and planning, more than a general knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. It take persistence. You have write, re-write, edit, re-read, edit some more. You polish queries and summaries. You have to send out letter after letter, suffering rejection and kind, but still hurtful, suggestions from those who think you have promise but the book is "just not right for them." Without persistence, the novel would never get finished. Without persistence, the queries would never get sent. Without persistence, the book would never get picked up or self published. Without persistence, no one would have a chance to dive into your wondrous worlds and fall in love with your characters.
It's a long journey with peril of rejection at every turn. But is it worth it to hold that printed book in your hands? Most definitely. If the first key doesn't turn the tumblers, be persistent and keep trying until you find the one that will unlock your success. Your work is worth the commitment.
How do you stay persistent in your publishing journey?

Change sequnce of read pkg from debpaths and read the debfor argument.

Code "$(debfor "base-files base-passwd")", expect install base-files first, but if in Packages base-passwd's section is after base-files's section, will install base-passwd first, this is obviously not what we want. In addition the sequence of the debfor result depend on external Packages file, I think it's hard to control.

Adv C#
C# Interview Questions and Answers Part 3
21.Can you have two files with the same file name in GAC?
Yes, remember that GAC is a very special folder, and while normally you would not be able to place two files with the same name into a Windows folder, GAC differentiates by version number as well, so it�s possible for MyApp.dll and MyApp.dll to co-exist in GAC if the first one is version 22.214.171.124 and the second one is 126.96.36.199.
22. What are value types and reference types?
Value types are stored in the Stack whereas reference types stored on heap.
Value types:
int, enum , byte, decimal, double, float, long
Reference Types:
string , class, interface, object.
23. What are Custom Control and User Control?
Custom Controls are controls generated as compiled code (Dlls), those are easier to use and can be added to toolbox. Developers can drag and drop controls to their web forms. Attributes can be set at design time. We can easily add custom controls to Multiple Applications (If Shared Dlls), If they are private then we can copy to dll to bin directory of web application and then add reference and can use them.
User Controls are very much similar to ASP include files, and are easy to create. User controls can�t be placed in the toolbox and dragged � dropped from it. They have their design and code behind. The file extension for user controls is ascx.
24. Is there an equivalent of exit() for quitting a C# .NET application?
Yes, you can use System.Environment.Exit(int exitCode) to exit the application or Application.Exit() if it's a Windows Forms app.
25.Can you prevent your class from being inherited and becoming a base class for some other classes?
Yes, that is what keyword sealed in the class definition is for. The developer trying to derive from your class will get a message: cannot inherit from Sealed class WhateverBaseClassName. It is the same concept as final class in Java.
26. What is the difference between method overriding and method overloading?
In method overriding, we change the method definition in the derived class that changes the method behavior. Method overloading is creating a method with the same name within the same class having different signatures.
27.If a base class has a bunch of overloaded constructors, and an inherited class has another bunch of overloaded constructors, can you enforce a call from an inherited constructor to an arbitrary base constructor?
Yes, just place a colon, and then keyword base (parameter list to invoke the appropriate constructor) in the overloaded constructor definition inside the inherited class.
28. What is the difference between Array and LinkedList?
Array is a simple sequence of numbers which are not concerned about each others positions. they are independent of each others positions. adding,removing or modifying any array element is very easy.
Compared to arrays ,linked list is a comlicated sequence of numbers.
29. What is the difference between private and public keyword?
Private : The private keyword is the default access level and most restrictive among all other access levels. It gives least permission to a type or type member. A private member is accessible only within the body of the class in which it is declared.
Public : The public keyword is most liberal among all access levels, with no restrictions to access what so ever. A public member is accessible not only from within, but also from outside, and gives free access to any member declared within the body or outside the body.

The 1970s: The "Toothless Tiger"
Gets Its Teeth - A New Era of Enforcement
The 1980s: A Period of Change and
The 1990s: New Laws, New
The 2000s: Charting a Course for
the 21st Century
In 1977, EEOC devised and by 1979 instituted a major
reorganization of its functions, organization, and procedures to
address charge processing problems and improve overall enforcement.
Field offices expanded from 32 to 40 cities, and enforcement
attorneys who had operated from five regional litigation centers
for the first time were placed in district offices where they could
work more closely with investigators to help strengthen
The Commission instituted a rapid charge processing system,
emphasizing timely processing and resolution of cases, and a
backlog charge processing system which focused on the accumulated
charge inventory. Major emphases were placed on the following:
initial intake interviews by skilled professionals, rather than by
clerical staff; early fact-finding conferences with charging
parties and respondents to attempt quick resolution of individual
meritorious complaints; and targeting systemic discrimination
patterns of employers. The new systems produced dramatic results,
reducing the pending charge inventory to less than 50,000 by 1981,
down from close to 95,000 charges three years earlier. Moreover, as
a result of these processing changes, the agency was able to expand
its efforts to eliminate system-wide discriminatory practices.
EEOC's reorganization of its
internal functions and procedures was extremely timely because
shortly thereafter, President Jimmy Carter expanded EEOC's
enforcement authority thereby requiring even more changes at the
Commission. In 1978, President Carter through his Reorganization
Plan No. 1 of 1978 and Executive Order 12067 transferred new
authorities to EEOC. These Presidential initiatives consolidated
and strengthened enforcement of all federal equal employment
requirements, and eliminated duplicative and inconsistent
requirements in programs administered by 17 federal agencies under
40 different statutes and Executive Orders. Reorganization Plan No.
1 transferred to EEOC: (1) the responsibility for enforcing the
Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) and the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), both of which had been administered
by the Department of Labor; (2) the responsibility for all equal
employment opportunity requirements in the Federal Government,
including Title VII, the ADEA, the EPA, and Sections 501 and 505 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination
against individuals with disabilities; and (3) the functions of the
Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinating Council. Executive Order
12067 directed all federal agencies to consult with EEOC in
developing EEO regulations, policies, and procedures. EEOC also was
charged with coordinating the enforcement of all federal equal
employment efforts.
The most significant achievement immediately following the
reorganization was the issuance of the Uniform Guidelines on
Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP) in 1978. In its new
coordinating role, EEOC issued the Uniform Guidelines in
conjunction with the Departments of Labor and Justice, the Office
of Revenue Sharing, and the Civil Service Commission. These Uniform

Ending death penalty would fuel crime
ON PROP. 34 Against: Ultimate sentence provides some deterrence
Should California preserve the death penalty for vicious murderers?
That's the real question for voters considering Proposition 34. It's not about saving money or preventing the execution of innocent people. Those are political statements by special interests who have consistently fought against capital punishment. Prop. 34 is their latest effort, complete with a catchy name and slick sales pitch.
We oppose Prop. 34 from the perspective of a father forced to bury his 12-year-old little girl after she was raped and murdered, and a district attorney who has taken an oath to defend and protect innocent citizens.
Should it pass, Prop. 34 would embolden violent criminals. Make no mistake; criminals will take advantage of leniency and act brazenly without fear of consequences.
A death sentence is given to fewer than 2 percent of convicted murderers. It is reserved for cases with a separate finding of special circumstances attributed to crimes so violent that juries unanimously decided capital punishment was warranted.
For example, serial killer Robert Rhoades kidnapped 8-year-old Michael Lyons as he was walking home from school. Rhoades tortured and raped the little boy for 10 hours, stabbing him 70 times, before slitting his throat and dumping his body in a river.
Prop. 34 lets these killers escape the death penalty and requires taxpayers to spend tens of millions of dollars to provide them with lifetime health care and housing benefits.
Supporters also claim eliminating capital punishment ensures "innocent" people won't be executed. They blur the significant difference between not guilty and innocent, which is dishonest. Gov. Jerry Brown has stated there are no innocent people on California's Death Row.
Prop. 34 proponents believe that life in prison without parole should be California's maximum punishment. Patricia Pendergrass has experience with how a life sentence can mean nothing. Behind the walls of Folsom Prison, while serving a life sentence for the murder of a teenage girl, Clarence Ray Allen planned and ordered the execution of Pendergrass' brother Bryon Schletewitz and two others. For that, he earned a death sentence.
The harshest insult Prop. 34 supporters make is that the death penalty is too expensive. Never mind that the initiative takes $100 million from California's general fund. Proponents' born-again fiscal conservatism is hypocritical because they are the ones who have for decades disrupted the system by filing endless legal appeals.
Other states afford criminals due process while enforcing the death penalty. We can, too. Join us and protect California by voting no on Prop 34.
Stephen M. Wagstaffe is the San Mateo County district attorney. Marc Klaas is the father of 12-year-old Polly Klaas, who was murdered by Richard Allen Davis.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – According to the latest FipeZap Commercial Real Estate Index, in December 2016, Rio de Janeiro held the distinction as having Brazil's highest average price per square meter for commercial real estate sales at R$11,666.
According to FipeZap, commercial real estate sale prices were highest in Rio's upscale neighborhood of Leblon, topping the survey, and the country, with an average price per square meter for commercial space at R$36,800. Ipanema came in a distant second, with an average sale price per square meter for commercial real estate at R$26,300.
But, for commercial rental leases, the Cidade Maravilhosa was just barely overtaken by São Paulo, with an average commercial lease price of R$47 per square meter, only one real more than Rio's average.
Looking at the data across the country for the month of December 2016, the variations of commercial sale and lease prices were slightly negative, falling 0.03 percent and 0.02 percent, respectively, compared to November's figures.
However, for the year, the price of Brazil commercial real estate, similar to recent reports regarding the residential sector, saw significant decreases in both sale and lease prices. In Rio specifically, 2016 saw sale prices for commercial real estate tumble 6.13 percent, while commercial lease prices plunged 14.40 percent.
The average declines across the country were 3.21 percent for commercial sales and 7.92 percent for leases. Taking into account the rate inflation of 6.29 percent in the period according to the IPCA/IBGE (National Consumer Price Index / Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), the real fall was 8.93 percent in commercial real estate sale prices and 13.36 percent in commercial lease prices.
The FipeZap survey also looked at the performance of Brazil commercial real estate as an investment compared to a lower risk alternative, such as CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificates). When placed next to the CDI, the interest rate calculated on the basis of interest from loans between banks, those who invested in commercial real estate took substantial losses in 2016.
While the CDI yielded fourteen percent, owners of commercial real estate who leased their property were only able to gain an average return of two percent.
The FipeZap Index is prepared by the Economic Research Institute Foundation (Fipe) using data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), in partnership with the Brazilian real estate website, Zap Properties.

Conversations are changing.
In the past, people could expect to call each other, e-mail or meet in person. But the new conversation experience includes the ability to instantly interact via multimedia with others, video conference from any location and without installing special software, and seamlessly merge several different voice and chat streams.
The session border controllers currently used by many network operators are not meant to handle this complex new communications environment.
"The SBCs at the edge of the service provider network need new functionality to support the continuity and adaptation that these services require," noted a recent TechZine article on the topic by Alcatel-Lucent's Ashwin Rana and Laurent Guegan, IP Border Controllers for the Long Term. The authors explain that: "First-generation SBCs aren't equipped to provide this functionality. They were designed to support the relatively simple data streams associated with fixed VoIP services. Their design can't cope with the complex streams, high volumes and increased risk associated with IP services like VoLTE, RCS and WebRTC."
Three things are needed in a session border controller that is optimized to handle data packets for what Alcatel-Lucent has called the "New Conversation Experience."
First, it must natively include VoLTE's critical enhanced Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (eSRVCC) function. The eSRVCC function simplifies handovers between 3G and 4G mobile networks.
Second, according to the Alcatel-Lucent blog post, "it must offer the flexibility to independently scale signaling and bearers while maintaining a strong security foundation. This will give service providers a cost-effective means to extend their networks beyond voice to support RCS (signaling intensive) and video (bearer intensive) services in a trusted manner."
Third, it must help operators realize the return on their existing network investments and pave the way for an enhanced customer experience, particularly that involving WebRTC.
"Ultimately," noted the authors, "Service providers should select the SBC solution that offers the best combination of performance, features and cost-effectiveness. Solutions that can support higher performance in the same platform will result in lower OPEX. Solution vendors that are committed to innovation will enable service providers to take advantage of new features and functions and add support for new services. With the right choices, service providers will be able to address all services with the same platform and avoid having to invest in point solutions."
Going all-IP is the goal, and taking a long-term view of the value of next generation SBCs as a key component of that transformation is going to be essential.

A few days cycling around the Isle of Wight
The barriers lifted and we bumped our bikes over the rumble strips and up the ramp. Behind us, motorbikes revved up and children scampered back into their campervans. It was 5pm on a warm, muggy Friday evening in August and it was clear that the weekend couldn't start soon enough for the waiting passengers.
Ushered to the front of the boat, we lent the bikes against the raised exit ramp, asking twice to make sure that there was no risk of the ramp deploying mid-voyage sending our bikes for a dip in the Solent. Across the water, beyond the white sails of yachts making use of the evening breeze, the Isle of Wight stretched out hazily on the horizon. (more…)

I spent a lot of time researching vaccines. I developed a detailed schedule specifically for Peanut after doing this research. I feel like I thoroughly prepared myself to make the decisions I have regarding Peanut's vaccines. The problem is there's only so much you can decide from reading a paper.
We have the flu.
It started for me on Friday. Friday night I woke twice as often as Peanut (who was waking more often than normal too). I hardly remember Saturday besides feeling like I was hit by a truck and I also slept awful that night. Sunday continued to feel like death and sadly, so did Peanut too. Actually, she was grumpy and obviously sick, but didn't really ever seem to feel like she was dying like I did. I'll go ahead and contribute a bit of that to mama's milk (another post for another day).
We wouldn't have even gone to the doctor, but Peanut had a fever of 102, so I called the nurse. She said we should get her in immediately because it sounded like the flu and you can only give anti-viral medication for a short period of time. The only real benefit for that visit is that we got antibiotics for her ear infection, but that's even kind of pushing it because I probably wouldn't have given her antibiotics for a minor ear infection if I was in my right mind. They gave us a prescription for anti-virals and in my delirious state, I was ready to give them to her. Luckily my husband was not-so-delirious and said to me "We've avoiding giving her medication as much as possible for this long, do we really need to give her this with all of these possible side effects?" So we didn't give it to her. She did test positive for influenza a while we were there.
After her visit we went to the doctor for me. I was having trouble breathing because of my asthma. I got chest x-rays and I have a small case of pneumonia. I've been slowly feeling better, but I still don't feel great at all. The doctor said that with the pneumonia I'll be coughing for 2-3 weeks. Exactly what I need at school.
The biggest part is the lack of going into society. The internet says that adults should stay inside for a week after they started getting sick, but the after hours doctor we went to on Sunday said 3-5 days depending on how you feel. For Peanut though, her doctor said 7-10 days because kids are contagious longer. This means that we will miss over a full week of appointments. That's rescheduling picking up our half a cow, music class, my school for a week (the second week of the semester, which makes me look great to my teachers), my doctor appointment, our dog training (can't reschedule that), Daddy's basketball game, Toddler LLL, and possibly messing up Squeed's mom's first day of her class that we're supposed to watch Squeed for depending on whether or not she wants to risk getting sick by letting us watch her Thursday. Considering I don't even work and only go to school part-time, a week off still screws up life.
So this all makes me re-think our decision to not vaccinate against the flu. People on Twitter are telling me I would have probably gotten sick anyway because it doesn't entirely protect you and doesn't always protect against the right flu. This was the original conclusion I came to also, but I almost wonder if it would be better to just decrease it or have a chance of not getting it. I don't know. I've also always thought of myself as a healthy adult that's in a low-risk category, but my asthma obviously makes that not so. So am I willing to get pneumonia again? I'm certainly not excited to cough like this for the next 3 weeks.
So has anyone out there actually gotten the flu and still decided not to vaccinate against it? Or possibly getting the flu did change your mind about vaccinating?

San Jose Stadium Opening To Be Pushed Back

- San Jose Stadium
It looks like San Jose will be playing another year in Buck Shaw Stadium after all. The San Jose Earthquakes announced in July that the opening of their new stadium would be pushed back to mid-2014. Now based on a couple of tweets today, the stadium won't be set to open until early 2015.

Robert Jonas of Center Line Soccer confirmed later with the club that an announcement would shortly be made on the subject.
A club spokesperson confirmed that an announcement regarding the new #SJEarthquakes stadium will be released next week.
— Robert Jonas (@robertjonas) September 12, 2013
San Jose's 18,000-seat stadium was originally scheduled to open ahead of the 2014 MLS season, but July's announcement pushed back the date to the second half of the season due to "unforeseen conditions at the stadium site" that included previously undiscovered industrial materials at the former factory site.
