1. Introduction
In this article, we will see how do we play an AVI video file. To play the AVI file we are going to use the Media Control Interface function (MCI). The Animate control that ships with MFC pack can play the AVI files but you will not get any sound when the video is playing. OK. Let us start with this simple and short example that plays the video file comp.avi. The Avi file that I am packing with this example has no sound information, so you should replace that with any video file, which has sound information in it.
2. Start the Example
Create a Dialog based Visual C++ MFC application and name the application as AVIFilePlay. Once the project is created, we need to access the functions from the MCI Library. To provide access to the library add Vfw32.lib in the additional dependencies entry of the Project settings. The below screenshot shows where you should provide the access to the external library:
Once the required library access is provided to the project we can start our coding.
3. Coding for Playing the AVI File
1) Add the required header to the Dialog Class Implementation file. In our case, I added the header file in the AviFilePlayDlg.cpp.
//Sample 01: Required Header
#include "Vfw.h"
Note that our project is aware of the header file Vfw.h as in the previous step, we provided access to the required library file.
2) Next, in the OnInitDialog function implementation, by passing the window handle of our dialog to the function MCIWndCreate, the media control interface (MCI) window is created. Note that the file that we like to play is available in the D:\Temp directory. You can play the file from any path by specifying the fully qualified path to the windows media Avi file. The call to the function MCIWndCreate on success, return the window handle and that handle is stored in the hVideoWindow. Below is code:
//Sample 02: Create Media Control Interface Window
CAVIFilePlayApp* pApp = (CAVIFilePlayApp*) AfxGetApp();
HWND hVideoWindow = MCIWndCreate(this->m_hWnd, pApp->m_hInstance,
NULL, _T("D:\\Temp\\Comp.Avi"));
3) Finally, we make a call to the MCI function MCIPlay. The MCIplay function requires a window handle, which is compatible for playing the window media file (Avi in out case). Below is the code for it:
//Sample 03: Play the Video
When you run the application the video play occurs as shown below:

We have released to the public the beta for the new version of SpamFilter ISP v184.108.40.2068. This release features statistical DNA fingerprinting of emails, which should allow greater accuracy in fighting SPAM.
The beta can be obtained from SpamFilter's download page at http://www.logsat.com/sfi-download.asp.
This version appears to have fixed all memory leak issues in previous betas.
Please read the beta notes carefully. The existing corpus database should be deleted before running this new build.

Not related to the content of this site at all, but something i feel compelled to share....
A headline in one of the papers (that i wouldn't usually give the time of day to) caught my eye today. "'Disability Hate Crimes' rise by a quarter in a year', and my mind was drawn back to events from my childhood.
My eldest brother, who is autistic and epileptic, was hounded by a large number of people from as early as i can remember. Teasing and name calling were everyday occurrences, while on a bad day he would be spat at, have stones thrown at him, and even be chased up the road with sticks. Sometimes it was small groups of kids, other times they were joined by adults. Sometimes the groups of kids would disappear only to return later with "reinforcements".
My parents reported this to the police quite often, the most helpful advice given being "Maybe you should keep him indoors?". We knew who these people were, we knew where they lived, but the police said they could do nothing unless they caught them in the act.... and we needed to report these incidents as they were happening. How? This was the 70s and 80s - there were no mobile phones, and not that many house phones.
Eventually Tony suffered multiple strokes brought on by the stress of his existence, and has been in a residential care home since 1998. At first i was sad for him, but looking back now i think maybe he has a better quality of life than he ever did before. And there's another reason he might be better off where he is.... bullying and harassment of the sick and disabled doesn't only come from groups of scum on the streets these days, there's a far more sinister threat from our very own government.
If he hadn't had a stroke and require full time residential care, no doubt he would now be subject to the unfair, humiliating and frankly shambolic "WCA" (Work Capability Assessment). These tests, carried out by a French IT firm (Atos Origin, with a newly invented department called Atos Healthcare), are a computer based tick-box test designed with the sole intention of stripping the most vulnerable people of their benefits. In actual fact, the software called LIMA was designed by insurance firm UNUM as a way of refusing health insurance claims. The system was developed in the USA where their test centres became known as "Disability Denial Factories". It wasn't too long before the system was deemed unlawful, and banned from use in America. So then our government bought the system, to use against it's own people - the ones it is employed to serve. It would be a joke if it wasn't so tragic.
Some time ago, a report revealed that 26 people per week were dying of their illness within 6 weeks of being declared "fit for work" by this system. Since then the figure has been revealed to be nearly 3 times that - 72 in fact.
But people in this country have been lied to, by government propaganda and sensationalist reporting in the gutter press. A recent survey revealed that the average joe believes that 75% of all people in reciept of health related benifits are "faking it", when the official figure from the governments own department (the DWP) is less than 1%.
Headlines from the likes of The Sun and The Mail screamed "Two Thirds Of Disabled People Faking It" and such like. Articles went on to point out that 75% of people that are subject to the WCA are declared fit for work.
Of course they failed to point out that a high percentage of those decisions are overturned by an independant tribunal, that a high proportion of their so-called Healthcare Professionals were under investigation by the GMC and the NMC. They won't tell you about the software used and the related scandal accross the pond. They won't tell you that even when people meet the required"descriptors" that the assessor will lie on the report and leave out vital information. They would never mention that even people with terminal cancer were being thrown off benefits and told to get a job. Jobs that don't exist by the way.
6 million (at least) in this country currently looking for full time employment, for around half a million vacancies....
But i think i'll leave that rant for another day....

There's been no missing out on the amazing buzz for Jessica Khoury's new novel, "Origin"—the story of a flawless teenage girl born in a lab, bred for immortality, and kept safe and secret from the outside world—has already been optioned for film and become one of the most-anticipated books to hit shelves this fall. But with another month to go before you can get your hands on the story (and GAH, who knows how long before the movie gets made?!), wouldn't it be nice to watch an EXCLUSIVE trailer that teases just what kind of awesome sci-fi sexiness is in store come the book's release September? Well, hey, guess what we've got!
This fascinating trailer introduces us to Pia, living in guarded isolation behind a glass wall, the very first member of a genetically engineered race of immortal humans. But despite having a pretty posh life in her private terrarium—including exclusive access to a really great pool and all the (intermittently censored) books she could ever want to read—Pia can't help feeling that something is missing...and that something, of course, is a scorchingly attractive teenage boy who stumbles up against her glass house without his shirt on. And, um, yeah; under the circumstances, we would have thrown a chair through the window too.
"Origin" follows Pia as she escapes her prison and flees into the thick of civilization with Eio, the only boy she's ever met, as they race against time to learn the truth about where she came from. And if you're dying to get your hands on it...well, yeah, so are we, but we've gotta wait until next September 4. So in the meantime, let's all just feast our eyes on the sweaty young man with a delightful resemblance to Joe Manganiello and try to be patient, shall we?
How excited are you to read "Origin" when it finally comes out next month? Sound off in the comments and on Twitter!

The fire sale starts as The Stig's helmet is up for sale
We'd like to imagine that after the messy and public break-up between Top Gear and The Stig there was an awkward meeting where the two sides met and handed each other's stuff back, like a recently divorced couple.
But perhaps not, as one of The Stig's helmets is up for sale at auction next month.
The famous white helmet is expected to make anything between £800 and £1,200 when it goes under the hammer at Gorringes on 20 October. The Stig wore a Simpson Diamondback helmet, which usually sells for around £500.
Ok, so the helmet isn't actually being sold by an embittered BBC trying to forget that White Stig ever existed – it is being auctioned by Sophia Vaizey who worked on the show's production team for 18 months. She was given the helmet as a leaving present and has told the BBC that she is saving to buy a house and so needs the cash.
The Stig has been unofficially outed as Ben Collins, who has won the right to publish an autobiography that says he wore the famous white suit on Top Gear. However, the BBC has still yet to confirm or deny that Collins was the man under the helmet.

Ace Stevens
Real Name: Jonathan Stevens
Gimmick Name: Ace Stevens
Nickname: The American [insert word here - if in doubt, something like "hero" or "champ", but it can be anything]
Height: 6ft 3in
Weight: 228lbs
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
Billed From: Brooklyn, New York
----------------Hair Colour/Length: Dark brown, medium length and slicked back.
----------------Eye Colour: Green.

----------------Physical Features: Nothing of note.
----------------Tattoos: None.
Alignment (Heel or Face, not Tweener): Face
Main Gimmick: A confrontational, controversial and patriotic comedian.
2 Characteristics of Gimmick:
A loudmouth, but a fun one at that. He can talk his way into both opportunities and trouble.
If there's one motto Ace lives by, it's "lie, cheat, steal". He makes no secret of that fact.
An expert cheater. It's very rare that Ace is caught.
Thinks well on his feet. As a result, he has a habit of getting out of sticky situations.
After two reigns as Mayhem champion, he's more than happy to brawl under extreme rules.
Shows off far too much. This can, of course, lead to him getting caught.
Ace gets tired easier than most, due to a mixture of being a smoker and his insistence on wearing street clothes in the ring.
He injured his left ankle during his previous stint in WZCW. As a result, his leg can be compromised.

Brief History: The class clown at school, Ace was popular, outgoing, adventurous and modest. Although he originally wanted to be a wrestler, he got into comedy at the age of fourteen – performing at clubs all around the New York metropolitan area.

Best Product: Multi-Pure
Refills are annoying... and questionably green. For us, that goes for Swiffers, razor blades, inkjet cartridges, and water filters, and it's especially painful when the refill costs almost as much as the thing it's making useful again. (Embarrassingly true confession: in our pre-green days, we once bought a new laser printer on sale because it was less expensive than a toner refill.)
Multi-Pure water filters are an exception to the rule, though.
In a comment to a Good Question post back in March, AT:NY reader Nathan praised his Multi-Pure filter. The filters last an amazingly long time: around a year.
Even if you have great tap water, as most of us do, Multi-Pure filters are great at removing the taste of chlorine. If your home has questionable pipes, they'll also filter out lead and some other things you'd rather not drink.
The filters are definitely not cheap to start off with, but shop around; the prices on the Multi-Pure website are the highest, because they're sold through a byzantine web of dealers who all earn referral fees. We got ours eons ago, so if you've got one, let us know which one you have, where you got it, and about how much you paid.
More resources:
• Brita Faucet-Mount Water Filter
• PUR Faucet-Mount Water Filter
• Water Filtration Systems Compared (Suspiciously, this site used to list Multi-Pure filters, but has dropped them from the table since our first post.)
• Forget the Filter! Tap water is fine!

Sounds like more tax-payers money down the toilet or into somebody's pockets. What is 1 month going to do for those English language challenged flers? So they can say, "Can I hep shoe?" instead of "Apa? Tak tahu la."
I just re-read the first sentence above. I think I better go enrol in this month long course also la. Of course, I have to get a university degree first la.
"Apa? Tak boleh ka?"

Coconut milk is made by combining grated coconut with warm water and then pressing out the juice. It has a white appearance and is sweet and creamy. There are many drink recipes with coconut milk and rum because the flavors complement each other well. Mixing drinks can be done with some common kitchen tools.
Blend 1 oz. vodka, 1 1/2 oz. white rum, six strawberries, one banana, 1/2 oz. coconut milk, squeeze of lime juice and 1/2 oz. of grenadine. Pour into a tall high ball glass. Garnish with cinnamon.
Pina Colada
Put 3 oz. of white rum, 3 tbsp. of coconut milk and 3 tbsp. of crushed pineapple into a blender with 2 cups of ice. Blend at high speed until smooth. Strain into a Collins glass and serve.
Pour 1 oz. dark rum, 1oz. Kahlua, 1 oz. amaretto, 1 oz. creme de cacao, 1/2 can of coconut milk and 3/4 cup of milk into a blender. Place the blender on medium speed and gradually add ice until thickened. Pour into a cocktail glass and serve.
Pusser's Pain Killer
Mix 4 oz. Pusser's Rum, 4 oz. pineapple juice, 1 oz. coconut milk and 1 oz. orange juice. Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with nutmeg and serve.

So, one of the shops I like does an email list/inventory sheet. Checking it out last night I noticed a couple neat items listed. They had a few Yugo Mausers. Two of them were 24/52c models. I never heard of that before... So Google to the rescue.
From what I read, these were rebuilt/refurbished Vz24s that were turned over as reparations. Well, that's pretty interesting. Had to go look in person. Both had mismatch bolts. The shop headspaced them before putting them up for sale (so far I've never had an issue thankfully). However, mismatch on a rebuilt piece doesn't surprise me.
I nabbed one. Put it on layaway. Blue is decent. A little thin here and there on some edges, but looks good. Wood has a few dings, and some scratches. Stock matches the receiver, and appears to be original to the rifle. The handguard is a Yugo replacement... The wood is different. Looks the same as used on M24/47s and 48s. Has the side slings, I'm guessing what was a unit disk in the stock. Original crest is gone, replaced by the Yugoslavian crest with M24/52c stamped under it. All parts machined. Missing front sight hood. Not fretting that.
Pics will come after I pay it off, and give it a once over.
Pretty excited about it. I've been hitting it good with Mausers lately. Good thing I like them.
Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.
Stoked! M24/52c.

Re: Stoked! M24/52c.
Sounds good - looking forward to the pics. I always regretted not getting one of those back when they were more plentiful.
Re: Stoked! M24/52c.
One of my most accurate rifles is an m24/52c. This 100 yd target from a local match has 5 of the 10 shots in one ragged hole 7 o'clock in the 10 ring.

Very cool. Never heard of the M24/52c. Also, nice shooting!

This post is about sharing all the news!
|Brent Reilly of the Crows is
chaired off after his 200th game
by Ben Rutten & Scott Thompson.
(Source: AFL Media)
Sad News
The most recent news is about Adelaide Crows footballer, Brent Reilly, who announced his immediate retirement from football yesterday.
Please refer to the post, "Shocking News on the Radar" for the background. That blog entry is also updated with the latest news links.
Katrina Gill's article "Reilly Retires" lists all of Brent Reilly's achievements and discusses his future plans. The Adelaide Football Club have also posted a video tribute to the career of Brent Reilly, "Thank You Radar" (3'51").
It always makes me sad to see someone's livelihood come to an end due to injury or illness.
|Clown Doctors
I have been battling regular flares this year. It has been a very busy start to the year with barely a moment to catch my breath.
As the years roll on, the MCTD seems to insidiously introduce new symptoms to the mix; fleeting ones which occasionally popped their head in the window have decided to come right in – perhaps they are hoping to find a cosy place to stay for the winter – but I am hoping to put a stop to that.
The rounds of medical specialists and tests have started again which is good for crocheting in waiting rooms, but being out and about so often puts pressure on the weekly schedule and restricts my physical capacity to manage the regular household routines.
Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed some years of relatively good health and been able to do many things that were mere dreams all those years ago when I first fell very ill. It has been a good ride for so long but now I am reminded every day to be careful.
Have I taken the good times for granted? I hope not, but it is so easy to pretend on a good day that I can do normal things again and get carried away with the joy of it! Recently the MCTD has been quite disruptive again and I am sure my over-activity has played a part, along with other aggravating factors.
Family demands and special events do take their toll eventually and during April and May I took a week off to rest and recover after being super busy.
Some things are just impossible to avoid such as …
Special Events
|It looks like a party!
We had a milestone birthday in the family culminating in a party at home with approximately 20 people. I used to love entertaining and I miss the days when I was able to host regular gatherings. I am too tired nowadays and it takes most of my energy to get through the regular daily tasks.
It took months of planning due to budget restrictions and the challenges of fatigue:
- how to find time to do the extra shopping
- entire weekends taken up with cooking and nothing else because once the party food was done, I was spent! Meanwhile the other jobs got left behind with lots of catching up to do
- finding energy for DIY preparations
- how to get the house tidied in advance and keep it tidy
- rallying friends and family for practical help
|Recycled glass jars were used as vases
and holders for tea light candles
and placed around the garden.
It is always a juggling act but lately I feel like I am just balancing on that tightrope and any moment now I could lose my balance and slip and drop all the balls!
I am happy to report that the party was a success, everything went to plan and I managed to survive! Despite the absolute fatigue catching up with me, I was so happy to have hosted a large social event at my home for the first time in years. It was fun and left me with a sense of triumph.
The next big thing was the Stitches and Craft Show from which I am still recovering – almost there!
I've never had so many Works-In-Progress (WIPs) at one time! Somehow I am surrounded by scarves! They all have unique techniques and challenges.
|The scarf started at
Prudence Mapstone's crochet workshop
at the Stitches and Craft Show.
- Of course, I started a new scarf at the Stitches and Craft Show. It uses a double-ended hook to create tricot stripes.
A former 'gallery scarf' in progress.
- All of my 'gallery scarves' have sold and I am madly working on some more for this winter season. The current silk-mohair scarf is a new design of mine and I am very pleased with it.
|Last year's slip-stitch scarf in progress.
(Pattern: Slip Slope Scarf by Vashti Braha)
- Last year, I made a slip-stitch scarf for a family member which was so popular that I am now making another for someone else! This technique is also known as 'Bosnian' crochet and I had intended to blog about it last year, but never got there! When this year's scarf is done, I promise I will write all about it and slip-stitch crochet.
These are not the only WIPs. I also have:
|The backpack on the blocking board.
- A small crocheted backpack which uses 'split stitches' to create the fabric pattern and I made the straps using a french knitting dolly. I have chosen the fabric lining but am at a standstill until the recipient can decide the kinds of embellishments they want on the bag. I want the threads from the embroidery to be on the wrong side of the bag and behind the lining.
- A baby blanket which is resting until I can shop for some novelty yarn for a special effect.
- The fingerless mitts which had been packed for hospital have been started but interrupted by the other projects!
|Some of the poppies I crocheted.
Last but not least, I am continuing to crochet poppies! There is a special reason for this but that is all I can say for now! (It's a secret; promise you won't tell!)
Blog Updates
Some of my original blog posts have been updated with extra information (either in the comments fields or in the text and reference lists).
- As news comes to hand, links are being added to the post about Brent Reilly, "Shocking News on the Radar.
- My post about the "Adelaide Stitches and Craft Show" is now complete with photographs and references including a link to a video in which Fiona Hammond and other crafty people from the show made it onto local TV!
- The collection of "Poppy Patterns" continues. Internet addresses to new patterns are being added in the comment fields all the time. I do not know how to insert active links into Blogger comment fields but I don't want to edit the original post so into the comment fields the new information goes! Not to worry, I will collate them all with active links in a future blog post later in the year.Remember to add your favourite poppy patterns too!

WIP #7: bread, bonfires, beer, bloggers
Last week I went to Firle with my daughter to take part in the forest school. I've been wanting to go for months but I thought S was a little too young to get the most out of it, and then the session stopped over winter. Last week was our first visit and it was fantastic: everything I hoped for. We made birds' nests from vines and leaves found in the woods, learnt about bird calls, we built and lit a fire the traditional way, sang songs and told stories. The session finished with a feast of nettle pancakes cooked over the open fire. Spring is really here, and it's the perfect time to make the most of nettle tips energising properties, so I am told…

Henrietta Swan Leavitt
July 4, 1868 – December 12, 1921
Born on the 4th of July, Henrietta was an American astronomer who discovered the relation between the luminosity and the period of Cepheid variable stars, which allowed us to measure the distance to faraway galaxies.
According to Wikipedia: Leavitt was a graduate of Radcliffe College. In 1893, Leavitt began working at the Harvard College Observatory as one of the women human "computers" hired by Edward Charles Pickering to measure and catalog the brightness of stars as they appeared in the observatory's photographic plate collection. (In the early 1900s, women were not allowed to operate telescopes)
Because Leavitt had independent means, Pickering initially did not have to pay her. Later, she received $0.30 an hour for her work. Though she received little recognition in her lifetime, it was her discovery that first allowed astronomers to measure the distance between the Earth and faraway galaxies.
She explained her discovery:
"A straight line can readily be drawn among each of the two series of points corresponding to maxima and minima, thus showing that there is a simple relation between the brightness of the variables and their periods."
This means each galaxy emits a light that has a periodic pulse. If we have two galaxies and one of them is twice as far away as the second on, the galaxy that is further away looks very dim in comparison, however, if the light is pulsing at the same rate we can tell that the brightness of both galaxies are equivalent.
After Leavitt's death, Edwin Hubble used the luminosity-period relation for Cepheids together with spectral shifts first measured by fellow astronomer Vesto Slipher at Lowell Observatory to determine that the universe is expanding (see Hubble's law).

Power Seat Switches
Power seats allow the driver and passengers to adjust the seats in multiple directions with an electric motor. The motor is affected by the switch that controls it. There are many different types of power seat switches, replacement can be difficult. Some switches are interchangeable and dealer parts are not always necessary. Repair and replacement of power seat switches may require the removal of the seat. From there the repair is fairly straightforward. Some electrical experience is helpful as the power seat switch is really a matter of some wiring. The switch itself should be compared to the new part to ensure that the part will work. It may look a little different if an interchangeable part has been selected, but the general functionality and wiring should be exactly the same. Power seat switches can be temperamental, but they are necessary if more than one driver uses a vehicle.

Faulty weight programs will keep appearing as long as people are willing to pay for supposed marvelously fast and no effort methods to shed extra pounds. While most fad diets fail to be efficacious and quickly fall to the wayside, some have been around for a long time.
Weight loss scams greatly outnumber each accredited weight loss method or product by 100 to 1. The following list, while grossly incomplete, is representative of some of the most famous weight loss scams. While these offers may sound tempting, they are a waste of your money and your time.
best diet to lose weight, best weight loss supplement, best diet program,
There are several weight loss drinks on the market that claim to help you lose up to 10 pounds. This diet--the drink, by the way, is sold under different brand names--requires the consumer to ingest several bottles a day of an orange or red drink and nothing else.
In a 24 to 28 hour period, the manufacturers claim you can shed up to ten pounds. Does it do the job? It does appear to work. While it is possible to lose that amount of weight that quickly, the manufacturers fail to tell you that the weight lost is merely water weight that will be gained back once you return to your normal eating and drinking habits. It is prudent to avoid weight loss programs that promise big results in a short amount of time. The diets are most assuredly are not healthy because just one food item can't possibly provide all of the nutrients you need for health.
One method, that was once extremely popular in past and is still around, promised that you could exercise using electronic pads that could be attached to your stomach area. The pads could be put anywhere on your body over a muscle and would deliver low voltage electric shocks to cause your muscles to contract and then relax.
The product promised that you could build up your muscles without actually exercising or lifting weights. This product offers fraudulent results that only those who are easily taken in would believe. While the concept of the product was plausible, in practice, the product fell short.
On the shelves today there is a vast plethora of herbal supplements that promise to help you lose weight. The FDA does not regulate herbal products, so, by not labeling their weight loss aids as a medicine the manufacturers can avoid regulation. The government has become aware of this loophole, and is, thankfully, starting to issue enforced guidelines for these companies.
Herbal supplements, while ineffective on their own, can aid weight loss when used in combination with healthy eating habits and exercising regularly. It is probably a safe wager that drug companies worldwide are attempting to formulate the first ever healthy and safe weight loss pill because of the high stakes involved financially.
Weight loss scams are easily avoided if you are not convinced by sensational claims or seductive advertising. The old way, eating properly and exercise still works wonders.

Rockwood Pigments: Suffolk chemical fire averted by 'quick thinking'
A fire which threatened to ignite a large quantity of chemicals at an ink factory in Suffolk has been prevented by "quick thinking" firefighters.
Nine crews from Suffolk and Essex tackled the fire at Rockwood Pigments on the Chilton Industrial Estate in Sudbury at about 07:30 BST.
Incident commander Will Tell said: "Local officers were very aware of the danger and called for extra crews."
The fire was contained inside the building.
The blaze started outside the single-storey factory unit, which contains paint additives.
It spread inside the building, but was put out before it reached the chemicals.
Mr Tell, from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: "One of our biggest concerns was the large quantity of chemicals inside the building, and we worked very hard to make sure the fire didn't spread to that.
"The on-site staff provided us with all the information about which chemicals were involved, helping us make the right decision about how to minimise any further risk."

More than 50 organizations will participate in the fifth annual Glendale Stand Up for Veterans event 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.Sept. 23 at Glendale Community College, 6000 W. Olive Ave.
It's a job and career fair all rolled into one in the GCC Student Union. Veterans get a free haircut and free lunch for themselves and their families, as well as apply for health care and other benefits. If they need a job, many businesses will be represented, along with support agencies to assist them with social services.
GCC Director of Community and Business Partnerships Michelle Alcantar said, "We want to make sure they get what they need and are honored that day."
Mayor Jerry Weiers is always present during the day. Alcantar said he rings a bell every time someone is hired.
Not only is it a job fair with social services, courts across the Valley assist veterans who may have legal issues. A judge will review the veteran's records and determine if community service hours will go toward fines or penalties. The State Bar of Arizona helps with home, family, medical ? any legal issue. The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division will be on hand to answer questions about drivers' licenses, and will be able to issue one to eligible veterans. Be sure to bring proper identification.
That's not all. GCC is considered one of the most military friendly college campuses in the country. Just this summer, the college celebrated the opening of a new and expanded veteran service center, where active and retired military can come to register for classes and receive counseling services.
It is a one-stop shop for veterans. At the Stand Up for Veterans event, a GCC representative will explain all of the educational opportunities available for veterans.
There are always more ways to help. If someone wants to donate items or cash to support the event, call Alcantar at 623-845-4771. That is also the number to call if you want to volunteer? receive a T-shirt for your service that day ? and if you want to take a tour of the new veteran service center.

The deal of the week is happening at Target, where you can print a coupon for 50% of any one Star Wars toy both in their stores or online. This offer excludes LEGO and the promo code is TGTJ7WZ5. There's also an additional coupon for $5 off an Ultimate FX Lightsaber from Hasbro that you can combine with this deal. Click here to shop and print out the coupons. Movie Heroes and The Clone Wars figures are also $1 Off for $7.99.
ToysRUs is having a Buy One Get One for 50% off for their Star Wars 3.75 inch action figures. While there hasn't been any recent sightings of new Movie Heroes or Vintage Figures at TRU, this may be a good chance for you to justify buying those re-packs at a cheaper price. Or not. Or maybe you can find the new Deleted Scenes figures if you still need them. Click here to shop at ToysRUs.com.
There's a lot of great deals to be had at KMart.com, where they slashed prices on many of their Star Wars items including their Vintage B-Wing Fighter now for $25.59!

There have been some vociferous reports from our friends at Jedi Temple Archives regarding some Walmarts clearancing items up to 90% off including the Discover The Force beast/vehicles for only $3! They also have another article on a TVC Yoda variant that's worth looking into.
Speaking of Discover The Force, those Battle Packs finally made it back online this week but quickly sold out, particularly the Royal Starship Droids. This could mean a potential second appearance in stores like the Jabba's Palace set or just extra stock they had available for exchanges and such. I'm leaning a little towards the former so keep your eye out for them at the stores.
Happy Galactic Hunting! Please e-mail us your latest finds or post in the comments below for your own reports.
I needed an extra proof-of-purchase for the Prototype Boba Fett, so I used the coupon to pick up a Movie Heroes Obi-Wan.
Text EASTER to TARGET (827438) and get the 50% coupon on your mobile!
I also posted on our Facebook page that K-Mart is having an additional 50% off their clearance toys. I scored a couple of SOTDS Class II vehicles for $11 each.

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is inviting customers to celebrate their recent honor from the library field's leading professional publication. The Library Journal Index of Public Library Service awarded the Public Library a Five-Star Rating for service on November 1st and this week, when the print edition of the publication was released, we learned that our Library got the second highest score in the country within its expenditure category of $30+ million.
To celebrate, the Library invites customers to visit any of our 40 neighborhood branches or the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati on Saturday, November 16th at 1:00 p.m. to share in a free piece of cake (while supplies last).
Library Journal developed its national ranking which compares U.S. public libraries on the quantities of services they deliver based on per capita statistics for library visits, circulation, program attendance, and public Internet use. The LJ Index gives an overall indication of how libraries stack up to their peers nationally. This year's ratings were based on 2011 data which libraries reported to the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Libraries are assigned Michelin guide-like star rankings from three to five stars. In the category of Expenditures of $30 million, only five libraries nationwide were given a five star rating.
"We are honored that the Library Journal has chosen to recognize us for our level of service to the community," says Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Director of the Library Kimber L. Fender. "2011 was the first year of our new Strategic Plan. When developing this plan, we took a different approach involving hundreds of staff in Idea Workshops to suggest actions that would help us achieve our objectives and soliciting input from our cardholders as well. As a result of that input, we increased the number of copies of high demand titles we purchased, added cards for children and teens that have no fines and don't require parental permission and fully embraced digital content. Circulation, visits, program attendance, and computer use all increased to record levels."
This is the second time this year that the Public Library has received national recognition. In May, First Lady Michelle Obama presented the Public Library with the 2013 National Medal for Museum and Library Service during a White House ceremony. The National Medal is the nation's highest honor conferred on museums and libraries for service to the community and it celebrates institutions that make a difference for individuals, families, and communities.

Is it really over? According to a new report from TMZ, Khloe Kardashian plans to file for divorce from husband Lamar Odom very, very soon. As in today, Friday, Dec. 13.
The site claims that the 29-year-old reality star will be citing irreconcilable differences in her divorce papers. Married since September 2009, the couple have been estranged for several months, thanks largely to revelations about Odom's drug use.
There seemed to be a glimmer of hope for the pair in late fall, but that glimmer has since faded. Kardashian has not been photographed with her wedding ring since Nov. 23, and has hinted at heartbreak in several recent (and cryptic) posts on Instagram and Twitter.
"She flip-flopped several times, but she can't imagine having kids with someone who refuses to seek help for
his disease," a source close to the star shares in the new issue of Us Weekly. Adds another pal: "She's saying, 'I'm moving on.'"
Indeed, Kardashian seems determined to rise above. On Thursday, Dec. 12, just hours before TMZ reported on her divorce plans, she shared this quote via Instagram: "I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish."
She also posted a note about learning to love on Dec. 7. "Dear Human: You've got it all wrong," the note read. "You didn't come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you'll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of…messing up. Often."
It went on: "You didn't come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering."

I don't think we'd be reading any novels if I stayed over, just hot raunchy fucking ass pounding action. That is what I'm talking about. Adriana is quite a shemale sex machine and I'd use every advantage that I had to bring out her nastiest personality. I have wet dreams about the outcome of this hot adventure.

Court Date Reset For Woman Suspected Of Gunning Down Husband
A Benton County woman accused of shooting her husband to death while he slept earlier this year had a court hearing reset Monday in Benton County Circuit Court.
Susan Fleck, 32, had an omnibus hearing reset to July 15 in the March death of her husband Evan Fleck, officials said.
The hearing was delayed while attorneys await crime-lab results on firearm testing, officials said.
Benton County Prosecutor Van Stone filed a felony charge of capital murder against Fleck in March. Stone said at the time that he had not decided whether his office will seek the death penalty against Fleck.
Benton County investigators released an arrest report March 5 that states Fleck shot her husband after finding a picture on his iPad of him embracing another woman.
Benton County Circuit Judge Robin Green denied bond the same day for Fleck.
Fleck is being held in the Benton County jail.
The gunshot victim was found dead with a gunshot wound to the right side of cheek in his bed in the master bedroom of their home on Arkansas Highway 12 east of Gentry on March 3, according to a probable cause affidavit from Benton County Circuit Court.
Fleck drove to Delaware County and called a Benton County dispatcher to report what had happened, court documents show. Fleck told dispatcher her husband was in the bedroom and had recently filed for divorce. She said she destroyed her life, according to the court documents.
The Fleck's four children were home at the time of the shooting.
Fleck woke one child at 3:40 a.m. and said, "something bad happened," according to court documents. She told kids to stay out of their father's room.
A Delaware County booking report states Fleck was taken into custody at Twisters, a convenience store in Kansas, Okla., and booked into the Delaware County Detention Center in Jay, Okla., at about 7 a.m.
Investigators responded to a residence at 19147 Arkansas Highway 12 east of Gentry and found Evan dead in the bedroom of what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the head, Benton County Sheriff Kelley Cradduck said.
Cradduck said Fleck was shot with a handgun, which authorities later recovered.
Investigators said that the couple had been arguing before the shooting. Deputies searching the home found an iPad referenced by Fleck in her call to police. Photographs showed Evan Fleck embracing another woman, the affidavit states.
A detective confirmed Evan Fleck had engaged in an affair with the woman and that Susan Fleck knew about it, the woman in the picture told an investigator.
Evan Fleck filed for divorce from Susan Fleck on Feb. 19, according to records in the Benton County Circuit Clerk's office.
He was employed at VeriFone in Bentonville, according to his Facebook page.
Cradduck said the couple's four children, ages 7 to 15, were inside the home at the time of the shooting. After the incident, the children first were placed in the custody of the state Department of Human Services, but since have been placed with relatives, officials said.
"There are some conflicting stories about where exactly they were located in the home," the sheriff said. "But there were children that were present at the home during the time of the shooting."

Trash Free Waters Initiative in the Caribbean
Vision: To significantly reduce and prevent the amount of trash from entering waterways and leading to the Caribbean Sea.
Trash Free Waters Initiative is a partnership involving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Peace Corps, United Nations Environment Programme – Caribbean Environment Programme (UNEP-CEP) to reduce and prevent land-based trash from entering our watersheds, coastal waters, and the marine environment.
The Trash Free Waters Initiative is driven by the central tenet to catalyze local communities and governments in the Caribbean region to work together to develop marine litter policies and projects that reduce the amount of trash entering the Caribbean Sea. Partners are working with Environment Ministries in two pilot countries (Jamaica and Panama) to help raise awareness of marine litter and prioritize sustainable solid waste management practices that will also benefit the economy.
News at a Glance
- Bluefields and Whitehouse Communities in Westmoreland, Jamaica plan to tackle solid waste for trash free waters on the coast
- Successful first TFW stakeholder workshop for Jamaica held in February 2017 in Kingston
- Launch of the Trash Free Waters (TFW) in Jamaica in August 2016
- Launch of the Trash Free Waters (TFW) in Panama in May 2016
- Productive initial meetings with national governments and Peace Corps in both countries. Panama in November 2015 and Jamaica in January 2016.
- Launch of TFW in the Caribbean Initiative at the Our Ocean II Conference in October 2015 in Chile.

Trash Free Partnership –Panama
Why is the Trash Free Waters Initiative essential for the Wider Caribbean Region?
Marine litter is a growing issue, as is seen on beaches, coasts, and marine ecosystems everywhere. While a wide range of materials consist of marine litter, the majority is in the form of plastics, where they can persist in the marine environment for hundreds of years or even longer.
Over time, due to prolonged sun exposure and other physical and chemical elements, plastics deteriorate into numerous tiny fragments called microplastics, which can easily enter the food web, thus posing threats to marine life, coral reefs, coastal ecosystems, and human health.
The US Environmental Protection Agency works internationally in the Wider Caribbean Region through our obligations under the Land-Based Sources Protocol to the Cartagena Convention, which focuses on reducing land-based sources of marine pollution in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.
In the wider Caribbean Region, up to 80% of marine litter comes from land-based sources of solid waste and approximately 65% of that waste is disposed of in open dumps, inland waterways, coastal water bodies, or directly into the Caribbean Sea.
The EPA-UNEP-CEP-Peace Corps partnership works together with government agencies and communities in the region to help address solid waste management issues and reduce the amount of trash from entering Caribbean waters.
The Value of Partnership
EPA, Peace Corps and the United Nations Environment Programme's Caribbean Environment Programme are working together to address marine litter through efforts to reduce the amount of trash flowing into the Caribbean Sea. This partnership supports Peace Corps Volunteers on the ground to take actions in their local communities to reduce land-based sources of trash and help national governments take action on preventing trash from reaching their waters.
Peace Corps Jamaica and Peace Corps Panama are aligning their ongoing solid waste management work implemented by Volunteers in rural communities with the Trash Free Waters approach which will ensure a connection between community-based work and the high visibility marine litter issue.
As a regional body, UN Environment CEP continues to engage the national governments in the Wider Caribbean Region. EPA also provides training on the TFW approach, develop new and adapt available tools for improved solid waste management.
How does the Trash Free Waters Initiative work?
The Trash Free Waters in the Caribbean Initiative builds upon EPA's national TFW Initiative (TFW) which is a successful approach to helping address the US contribution to the marine litter problem. TFW uses a collaborative, stakeholder-based approach to prevent trash from entering the ocean. There are three phases to TFW: Assessment, Dialogue and Planning, and Project Implementation.
The Initiative also facilitates dialogue among stakeholders to discuss latest research, ideas, and strategies to develop and expand their goals of reducing marine litter and trash, primarily at the source. The stakeholder identification process involved partnership with the national governments and UN Environment CEP in order to have them participate and be included at the launch meeting and subsequent dialogue and planning.
UN Environment CEP uses its role in the Caribbean through the Land-Based Sources Protocol to the Cartagena Convention to address marine litter reduction and prevention. As pilot countries, the initial focus is on Panama and Jamaica and Governments of both countries are assisted to pull together ongoing marine litter work to help unify the country's solid waste management message. Trash Free Waters identifies what's happening in Panama and Jamaica with respect to marine litter prevention and reduction and aligns those efforts to better deliver the appropriate message and take steps towards comprehensive solutions.
In support of the efforts made in the government through EPA and UN Environment CEP, the volunteers of United States Peace Corps are trained so that they can train and facilitate the implementation of small scale projects within their local communities.
The Trash Free Waters Initiative in the Caribbean is expected to:
- Work with Governments of Jamaica and UN Environment CEP to help identify stakeholders, which may include government agencies, NGO's, private sector and industry.
- Convene introductory meetings or launch involving stakeholders in both countries to begin the dialogue, and help identify barriers and enhance trash prevention drivers.
- Leverage initial financial support for community-based projects in pilot countries.
- Share best practices in solid waste management and policy that have been shown to effectively prevent and reduce marine litter.
The Trash Free Waters Initiative began implementation in 2015 and is expected to end by December 2018.
The Trash Free Waters Initiative is co-implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and its Peace Corps, UN Environment's Caribbean Environment Programme (CEP) and co-executed by pilot countries agencies, National Environment Planning Agency & the Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente (ANAM).

CHICAGO — Daniel Murphy found out Stephen Strasburg was starting Game 4 of the NLDS on Wednesday when his wife texted him. Bryce Harper found out when he showed up at Wrigley Field. Jayson Werth found out when he checked the lineup card and saw Strasburg's name on it. They all had a similar response.
"I was like, 'OK, here we go,' " Werth said.
Strasburg didn't know he was starting — and ultimately saving the Washington Nationals' season — until Wednesday morning. He went to bed Tuesday sick. He woke up still under the weather, but feeling better — not great, but good enough to call pitching coach Mike Maddux to tell him he wanted to pitch with the season on the line.
"Just give me the ball," Strasburg implored.
Nationals brass obliged, and Strasburg went on to pitch the game of his life, striking out 12 — a franchise playoff record — over seven scoreless innings in Washington's 5-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. After striking out 10 in Game 1, Strasburg is the third pitcher in National League history with 10-plus strikeouts in a single postseason. Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax are the other two.
"For him to be able to cowboy up tonight and do his job … shows how much of a great teammate he is," Harper said. "Just a warrior, to be able to go out there and throw that gem that he did for us."
Said Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman: "I don't think it told us anything we didn't already know. When he's healthy and he's on the mound, he's one of the best, if not the best, pitchers in the game. To have him come out and do that in a spot like that was obviously huge."
A day earlier, as Washington's team bus sat in traffic, Strasburg didn't think his chances of pitching in Game 4 were high. The Nationals had decided Tanner Roark would take the ball, setting off a storm of confusion, speculation and derision in the sports world. His mind was on checking into the team's new hotel — the one they stayed in the previous two nights couldn't accommodate them for a third — and getting to sleep. Antibiotics weren't helping. He was feeling crummy.
"Stras was sick all week," Harper said. "I knew that. He came in the other day and his face was the colour of that carpet."
The carpet Harper was referring to was green.
"It was a challenge," Strasburg said. "It seemed like once we got here, you know, I got hit pretty hard with this virus. It seemed to suck the life out of me every single day."
Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg took intravenous fluid and other anti-inflammatories, but the 29-year-old pitcher attributed his health improvement to a switch in antibiotics. Strasburg said the toughest challenge during the game was staying warm between innings. Other than that, it was business as usual, as he looked like the pitcher who has been muzzling lineups since coming off the disabled list since mid-August.
"Whooo, man, he was good," Murphy said. "How many punch-outs did he end up having? Just, change-up any time. Fastball was electric. He was able to get back in the count with the curveball and throw it for the kill. He had it all working tonight. It was fun to watch."
As for the whirlwind of criticism and second-guessing the Nationals' initial decision made Tuesday night, Strasburg said he didn't pay attention. He was sleeping for most of it. He didn't have anything to prove, anyway.
"Not to you guys, no," Strasburg said. "No, you guys create the drama. But I know, like I said earlier, I have faith in every other guy in this clubhouse, and I know the coaching staff feels the same. So we're in it together, and when one guy goes down, you have to trust that the other guy is going to pick up the slack."
